"What are you standing there for? Pay up! You said you'd pay the bill!"

"Um...oh...how much, boss..."

After receiving the money, the boss laughed and said...

"Young man, you're lucky to have such a beautiful girlfriend. You're really something."

"Um...ah...this..."

Kuroba was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At this point, Vali interjected.

"Boss, we're leaving now. I'll come again next time."

"Okay."

Only after walking a distance did Kuroba look at Vale, who was eating taiyaki.

"A regular customer?"

"His food is delicious."

Vali seemed too busy eating to pay attention to Kuroba.

At that moment, Vali saw a hand reaching out in front of her.

"what?"

"Give me one, don't you have two?"

Kuroba looked at Vali in surprise.

Vali withdrew her hand upon hearing this.

"Dream on, these are all mine, you can buy them yourself."

"..."

Kuroba looked at Vali in surprise.

"So, you mean we'll have two portions, just like we always do?"

"None of your business! Do you still want to know the information?"

One sentence left Kuroba speechless.

However, to Kuroba's relief, buying just two taiyaki wasn't a big problem; it was just a small amount of money.

However, just when Kuroba thought it would be over after finishing the taiyaki, he didn't realize that this was only the beginning...

After Kuroba looked at his increasingly empty wallet and the growing number of snacks in Vali's hands.

Kuroba, with a mournful face, called out to Vali, who was still about to move forward.

"Hey...it's about time you told me, isn't it?"

Vali, who was enjoying her meal, turned around in surprise to look at Kuroba upon hearing this.

"Hmm? Tell you what?"

Seeing Vali eating with relish and looking at him with an innocent expression, as if she were really out shopping, Kuroba scratched his head in frustration.

"Didn't you say that if I came with you to eat, I would tell you about Theodora if you were satisfied with your meal?"

"Oh...this."

Vali looked like she suddenly understood.

She stretched out her finger and pointed to the right rear of Kuroba.

"Look at that."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Kuroba turned to look.

But there was nothing there except a few stalls.

What exactly are you showing me?

Puzzled, Kuroba turned to look back in Vali's direction.

But Vali, who was originally in the same spot, had disappeared, and the place was now empty.

Where...where is everyone?

Just as Kuroba was feeling bewildered, he heard Vali's cheerful voice in his ear.

"Hehehe... You really are an idiot. Thank you for the food, I enjoyed it very much. Consider this your apology for offending me last time. But want me to tell you information? Far from it. I've already told you such an important question. What you discover next is up to you. Goodbye~"

Vali's mocking voice echoed in Kuroba's mind, booming like a deafening bang.

He wanted to slap himself twice. At this point, how could Kuroba not realize that he had been tricked?

He clutched his wallet in anguish.

"My money..."

The Draeg inside him watched this scene in silence.

Now is the time to be stingy with money... this silly boy...

Kuroba wanted to give chase, but he knew that Vali was already long gone.

The thought of her eating snacks bought with his own money made Kuroba grit his teeth in hatred.

But after a moment of anger, Kuroba walked back towards the school dejectedly.

"I'd better just get back to work..."

Back at the old school building, Kuroba found an opportunity to tell Rias what Vali had said.

Of course, he automatically shut out his own foolish behavior.

"Is that so... that's what Valee told you..."

Rias pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

She was initially surprised that Vali's appearance was completely unnoticed, but at the same time, she became wary because of what Vali said.

"Let's report first."

Rias made her decision and simultaneously contacted Azazel and Sazex.

After finishing her report, Rias noticed that Kuroba was sitting to the side with a worried expression and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

She stood up, walked to Kuroba's side, and sat directly in his lap.

"What's wrong, Kuroba? You look unhappy."

Kuroba opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time but still didn't say anything. After all, it was too stupid. Even Rias would laugh at him.

So Kuroba shook his head with a wry smile.

"nothing..."

"Um...?"

Rias looked at Kuroba with a puzzled expression.

But there was nothing that could be done if Kuroba didn't tell.

Claires immediately thought of a suggestion Akeno had made: if that were the case... Kuroba would probably be happier, right?

So Rias stood up and took Kuroba's hand.

"In that case, let's go home."

Chapter 171 Come on, one against seven!

When Kuroba and Rias returned home, Asia was the one who greeted them.

Kuroba looked at Asia's rosy cheeks and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Asia, are you feeling unwell?"

"No...no, maybe the bathwater was too hot when I was running it, and I haven't quite warmed up yet..."

Asia clearly wouldn't lie, and her explanation was somewhat halting, but since Kuroba himself was acting strangely, no one paid much attention.

"Oh...is that so?"

Rias glanced at the two of them with a hint of helplessness. One couldn't lie, and the other was absent-minded. It was amazing that their conversation could still be made up.

"Oh dear, has Asia already prepared the bathwater?"

Rias walked over, patted Asia's head, and asked.

Asia looked up and saw Rias winking at her, and her face flushed even more.

"Um...yes."

"Kuroba, why don't you go take a shower first?"

Rias turned to look at Kuroba and said.

"Uh... I don't want to wash right now..."

"No way! You ran there again tonight, didn't you? You smell all sweaty!"

Kuroba sniffed his clothes in confusion.

No? I didn't sweat at all, so where would the smell of sweat come from?

Just as Kuroba was about to defend himself, he saw Rias's warning look.

"Okay...it definitely smells good, I'm going."

A wise person knows when to yield. It's just taking a bath, I'll take one!

Due to renovations, the bathroom was moved to the basement level.

Apart from a large hall for rest and training and a bathroom, the basement level is almost entirely unfurnished, further demonstrating the luxuriousness and extravagance of the bathroom.

Kuroba took off his clothes and stepped into the bath without hesitation.
