Anime Crossover: Starting with an Infinite Dragon God as a Mount

"It is indeed her. But how do you know? Did she invite you before?"

Rias knew that her friend Shiki had already expressed her desire to invite Su Mu to become her familiar.

In fact, if Su Mu hadn't been called to the arcade by Ta Cheng Xiao Mao after school last night, she would have already extended a formal invitation last night.

In fact, her current actions are tantamount to intercepting Su Mu, extending an invitation before Zhi Qu Cangna can actually make a move.

Despite the pressure of the engagement, she had to seize the opportunity to try and win over her friend, even if it meant betraying her friend.

Who can blame them for being lucky enough to find out about the news in advance?

Of course, Rias felt somewhat guilty about doing such a thing, so she immediately wanted to tell Su Mu that Sona also wanted to invite him.

However, what she didn't expect was that before she even had a chance to say Shichiko's name, Su Mu already knew who wanted to invite her. This immediately made her feel uneasy.

"This should be easy to guess."

Of course, he couldn't say that he actually knew the plot, so Su Mu casually explained.

"Many people in the school know that Rias-senpai's Supernatural Research Club has an astonishing degree of independence, making it quite unique among all student organizations in the school."

"If there are any other demons who want to invite me to become their familiar, then they should probably be in charge of a student organization similar to the Supernatural Research Club, right? The only one that fits that description is the Student Council."

"Furthermore, the Guild Master and Rias-senpai are very close, and their relationship is clearly one of equality. Since Rias is the successor to the Gremory family head, the Guild Master's status must be similar."

"Ahem, that's true."

Rias nodded somewhat awkwardly.

For some reason, when she talked to Su Mu, she vaguely felt that her intelligence was being suppressed.

Speaking of which, it seems that there is indeed a lack of a wise person among his own followers who can offer advice. If Su Mu, a human with both potential and wisdom, could join him, that would be perfect.

Rias couldn't help but consider it.

Then, she heard Su Mu continue speaking.

"So, when I ran for student council president, I clearly had the upper hand in terms of support, but in the end, I was still elected president. I'm afraid it's also related to my identity as a devil, right?"

Su Mu spoke calmly, seemingly unconcerned about the matter.

In reality... he really didn't care at all.

The reason he created momentum for himself was to force Shichiko to use other means to win.

Otherwise, if the successor of the Siddi family were to be defeated by ordinary humans in the human realm, and even lose his own family's territory... such a reputation would probably become a laughing stock in the underworld.

"Pfft!" Rias, who had just taken a sip of her black tea, almost spat it out when she heard Su Mu's sudden remark.

To her surprise, Su Mu reacted so quickly, figuring things out in an instant.

She was aware that Cang had used underhanded tactics to extract money from him back then.

"Ahem." Rias coughed lightly, but still chose to defend her friend, "It's true, but she had her reasons for doing it. And because of this, she's always felt guilty. For example..."

“I know that when I managed to obtain that spiritual cultivation method, I was already prepared to face retaliation, but in the end nothing happened.”

Su Mu spoke calmly.

"I was quite confused about this before, but now I think it must be thanks to the student council president. Just for that reason, I will no longer hold a grudge against the student council president."

Rias opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but then felt somewhat speechless.

In the end, he could only utter a few dry words.

"That's right."

She had no intention of hiding this matter.

However, Rias was quite annoyed that Su Mu had guessed her thoughts before she could even speak.

"However, Rias-senpai, since you want to invite me to become your familiar, why tell me all this?" Su Mu looked at Rias and asked, "Keeping all this hidden should be more advantageous for you, shouldn't it?"

Chapter Thirty-Three: Akeno Himejima: A Terrifying Man

Rias was even willing to strike first and intercept her friend Sona in order to win over a familiar.

This is largely due to the pressure they feel from the arranged marriage.

Under pressure from her family, she becomes engaged to Riesel Phoenix, the third son of the Phoenix family, one of the seventy-two pillars of the underworld and a high-ranking demon, but she does not like him.

Therefore, they hoped to cancel the engagement by winning the ranking game.

Therefore, she greatly desires a familiar with sufficient potential.

Especially someone like Su Mu, who not only has extraordinary potential and was able to easily eliminate a lost demon at the intermediate level as soon as he awakened his artifact, but also seems to have enough strategy.

She even felt that even if Su Mu failed to awaken the divine artifact, making him her familiar might not be a loss.

However, Rias, who harbored such thoughts, took the initiative to reveal to Su Mu that Sona also wanted to recruit him as a familiar.

Furthermore, when Su Mu was suspected of harboring resentment towards his rival Cang Na because of the previous student council president election incident, he took the initiative to explain.

If Rias truly wants to make Su Mu her familiar at all costs, then doing so is indeed a bit bizarre.

"Hey, don't underestimate me." Hearing Su Mu's words, Rias's face showed a slightly displeased expression, and her bright red hair swayed slightly.

"While I do wish to invite you to become my kin, it does not mean that I will disregard the dignity of the Gremory family."

“Even though Sona had already told me before that she was going to invite you to become her familiar, I can still compete with her fairly until you actually become her familiar.”

This is just normal competition.

As long as Su Mu has not agreed to take Sona as her familiar, Rias has the right to persuade Su Mu to accept her as a familiar.

However, deception or defamation are unacceptable.

"Even though I want to take you as my familiar, I will not hide anything about Sona from you, nor will I fail to explain any misunderstandings you may have about her."

Rias spoke frankly and with a radiant expression.

Sitting next to her, Akeno Himejima listened with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, her expression one of great satisfaction.

"To me, relatives are no different from family members, so how could I obtain them through deception and fraud?"

Rias declared naturally.

Anyone who hears her words will know that they are genuine, heartfelt statements from a young girl.

They might steal someone else's love, but they'll get what they want fair and square.

Some people may not understand this, but for Rias, it is a "principle"!

Appreciation flashed in Su Mu's eyes at just the right moment.

Well, although he doesn't agree with this principle, it doesn't mean he won't appreciate it.

Moreover, women with their own principles do indeed become more dazzling and charming.

Rias's answer was quite satisfactory to Su Mu.

If Su Mu wants to achieve something, staying near the "protagonist group" is arguably the best choice.

It may seem dangerous, but it is actually protected by two of the four major demon families, so there will be no problem at all.

So, his question was to test Rias's personality to see if she was the type to cooperate with or be friends with.

Rias's answer just now passed his test.

As for the difference between passing the test and not passing it...

It's probably the difference between people and tools.

"I see. It seems I misunderstood Rias-senpai." Su Mu said, raising his teacup in apology. "Then, I apologize for that."

"Then, as a way of expressing my apology, would Su Mujun be willing to accept my invitation and become my spouse?"

Rias blinked gently and spoke in a slightly playful tone.

Her long red hair seemed to reflect the sunlight, her skin was as white as jade, her blue pupils were like gemstones, and her pursed lips had a half-smile, exuding an alluring charm.

The activity room fell silent for a brief moment.

Although Rias was using a joking tone, the implied meaning was undeniable.

Everyone in the room turned their attention to Su Mu, including the little cat who had been acting strangely ever since Su Mu entered the room.

Those golden pupils, fixed on Su Mu, were filled with anticipation.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, she would still be very happy if Su Mu agreed to join the club and become Rias's familiar.

"Rias-senpai, it's against the rules to invite her under such circumstances."

Under the watchful eyes of the others, Su Mu extended a finger and gently shook it, speaking slowly.

"I see. Then it seems I should look for a more suitable time to invite her." Rias chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned, her smile remaining unchanged.

In reality, she sighed softly to herself.

I got rejected.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Rias, open the door if you dare!

In reality, even if Su Mu were willing to become a demon, he wouldn't choose to become Rias's familiar; instead, he would choose to take over Sona.

After all, unlike Rias, Sona already had the intention of inviting Su Mu to become her familiar before she took over.

Although Su Mu admired Rias's behavior just now.

However, compared to her, who was willing to accept Su Mu's demands as an ordinary human, Su Mu would rather become a servant under such a demon.

Moreover, the reason he initially wanted to become a demon was simply because, as an ordinary human, he found it extremely difficult to find a way to become stronger in this world.

If it's not necessary, then being human is more in line with his wishes.

Furthermore, if one were to actually become a familiar of Rias or Sona...

Although these two demons treated their followers as family and friends, they were still followers no matter how good the treatment was.

Given Su Mu's personality, becoming someone else's servant for the sake of power is something he can accept.

However, this does not mean that he will not feel disgusted by it.

Even if he failed to awaken the system, he still became a servant of Sona as planned. If his strength reaches a certain level in the future, he might try to break off the master-servant relationship between them.

Moreover, now that he possesses the system, he doesn't need to become a demon to have potential far beyond what outsiders can imagine.

If that's the case, why would you insist on being inferior to others?
