Harem Daily Life in High School DxD

Kuroba looked at the kitten, puzzled.

"I...I noticed you seem to care a lot...Do you want me to touch it?"

The kitten wiggled its legs because it noticed that Kuroba's gaze was fixed on it, and it knew what Kuroba wanted to do.

As the kitten spoke, its ears turned visibly red, which was no longer concealed by its smooth white fur.

Looking at the kitten's ears, Kuroba's attention was completely diverted.

Taking advantage of the kitten's inattention, he yelped and sucked on the cat's ear.

“Boo!!!!”

Caught off guard by Kuroba's sudden attack, the kitten felt an intense warmth in her most sensitive area. She let out a soft moan, shivering violently as she looked at Kuroba in disbelief.

"Idiot senior!!"

Unable to bear it any longer, the kitten stood up from Kuroba's arms, glared at Kuroba in a fit of rage, and threw a punch at him.

"Hahaha."

Kuroba nimbly dodged the kitten's fierce punch and quickly ran towards the door.

"Little cat, your ears smell nice! And your expression is adorable too!"

"boom!!"

Suddenly, an invisible gas began to flow around the kitten, and her dress began to float because of this gas flow.

"Wow, it's white!"

After saying something flippantly, the cheeky Black Feather turned and walked out of the room without looking back.

"Boom!"

The kitten stomped its foot in embarrassment and anger, and a large hole immediately appeared in the floor.

Soon, the garden was filled with incessant explosions, interspersed with Black Feather's whispers and the kitten's angry shouts.

"Arara... I guess you could say that this is exactly what Kuroba would do."

Zhu Nai slowly walked out of the inner room, and couldn't help but giggle as she looked at the cracks in the room.

After all, Kuroba always encouraged everyone in his own way.

Zhu Nai glanced at the two people playing in the garden.

Before we knew it, Kuroba had become a pillar of the team...

Chapter 149 Cherishing is Mutual

The night before the ranking game.

Rias and all her retinue gathered in Azazel's room.

Azazel, contrary to her usual casual demeanor, looked at everyone with utmost seriousness.

"Tomorrow will be the test of your special training over this period of time. Before that, let's do a final check."

Azazel looked at Rias.

"Rias, Sona Shidi should have a fairly deep understanding of your familiars, right?"

Rias knew the meaning behind Azazel's question.

"Yes, basically speaking, she knows me very well. She knows the abilities of each of my familiars, but for Sona, there are a few familiars whose abilities are unclear."

Azazel nodded as if he had expected it.

"It's to be expected that we'll be at a disadvantage in terms of information. There's no need to worry too much, since information is only one part of tactics. On the real battlefield, things can change in an instant, so the most important thing is to learn to adapt to changing circumstances."

As Azazel spoke, he categorized all of us on the blackboard, roughly like warriors, mages, and rangers in a game.

She carefully categorized everyone.

Xenovia, Kitten, and Yuuma were assigned to the warrior class.

Rias, Akeno, and Asia are mages.

As for Gaspar and Yuki, they are wandering knights.

Roughly speaking, these correspond to strength, magic power, and agility.

Kuroba stared blankly at the chart and then pointed to himself.

"And me?"

Azazel rolled his eyes at Black Feather, clearly annoyed.

"You? In terms of strength, you're even stronger than Kitten and Xenovia. In terms of magic, who can compare to the three powers within you? As for speed, do you think you're too slow right now? Tell me, where are you going?"

Kuroba scratched his head awkwardly.

Well, without realizing it, I've become a hexagonal war god.

"Don't be arrogant. You still lack practical experience. Right now, you're just like someone who's surrounded by treasure but doesn't know what's valuable."

Azazel slapped Black Feather hard on the forehead, instantly snapping him out of his daydreaming state.

Then Azazel patted the blackboard.

"In terms of distribution, your attributes are actually quite evenly distributed, which is a good thing. In addition, due to the contract with Black Feather, there are actually nine of you participating in the competition. This numerical advantage is something you need to take advantage of."

Azazel glanced at the crowd.

"But even so, you can't let your guard down. From what I understand, Canna Xidi is a wise king. Her command ability is the biggest variable. The reason why the ranking game is a battle where the weak can win is mainly due to tactics."

Azazel pointed to the group of warriors.

"For example, Xiaoyao, Xenovia, and Yuuma, although the three of you have an advantage in strength, if you encounter an agility type like Yuuki, you may have a lot of strength but nowhere to use it, which will lead to you being toyed with by her speed in the end. Similarly, magic-type area damage range can suppress speed on a large scale, while strength-type can break through all magic and area attacks to effectively strike."

"Is this like playing a video game where there's a professional advantage?"

Kuroba smiled upon hearing this.

"Ranking games are a type of game, aren't they?"

Azazel did not deny Black Feather's statement; on the contrary, he agreed with it.

"Rias, it is your duty as king to match your followers with suitable opponents and understand their situation and abilities."

Secondly, as combatants, Koneko and Akeno, even if you don't want to admit it, you must make good use of all the power within you. All of you together form a whole; if one aspect is lacking, the others need to do their best to compensate. This is both the advantage and the disadvantage of teamwork, and you need to clearly understand this.

Although the cat and Akane, who were called out, didn't look too happy, they still nodded seriously.

They were already mentally prepared for this, and had drawn courage from Kuroba. They believed that as long as Kuroba was there as a witness, they could do it.

Azazel didn't want to put too much pressure on everyone before the open tournament, but as a reflection of her fighting experience, she had to provide guidance with a responsible attitude.

"In my opinion, you have a high chance of winning, but it's not a guarantee of victory. Don't underestimate that one percent chance of failure. Being careless could be fatal!"

She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at everyone.

"This is the last lesson of my special training for you. I hope you can achieve a beautiful victory tomorrow."

After saying everything, Azazel turned his gaze to Black Feather.

"On a side note, I believe that Kuroba is now your backbone. His presence in this team can boost your morale. But sometimes, you should consider what you would do if Kuroba were to lose. Would you become discouraged, or would you continue to work hard, even with Kuroba's doubled efforts?"

"Then why do you need to say it?"

Lia spoke without hesitation.

She glanced tenderly at everyone in the room, observing the smiles on their faces before looking at Kuroba.

Azazel looked at Rias and the others with surprise.

"Admittedly, Kuroba's arrival has changed us. No matter what happens, he's always the first to step forward and protect us. But Azazel, you're wrong about one thing..."

"Ok?"

Azazel made a noncommittal nasal sound.

Rias's face also blossomed into a beautiful smile.

"It is precisely because of Kuroba's existence that we know what is precious and worth cherishing. If anyone harms Kuroba, then they should rightfully bear our wrath!"

Seeing the serious look on Rias's face, Kuroba awkwardly scratched his head.

"I feel like...I've become a gigolo?"

A simple sentence shattered the solemnity in the room.

Rias rolled her eyes at Kuroha, clearly annoyed.

Zhu Nai giggled.

"Alara, as expected of Kuroba, you're the only one who can break Rias's defenses so quickly..."

As soon as Zhu Nai said this, a chorus of agreement rang out in the room.

But no matter what.

Everyone had a tacitly agreed-upon thought in their hearts.

We must win!
