If, in the past, Rias's desire to seize the familiar she valued caused her to feel anxious, then Rias's feelings were urgent.

So, now let's see how Su Mu and Ta Cheng Xiao Mao interact...

The first thing that Suona could feel was anxiety.

Why do I have such a strange feeling?

Zhiqu Cangna paused slightly, then frowned.

She raised her hand and gently pushed up her glasses, which were almost slipping down, and silently began to examine her own feelings.

My initial feeling towards this human was probably one of admiration.

The image and popularity he had built up over the years since arriving in the human world and entering Kuoh Academy were completely surpassed in just one year.

Although she felt resentful, she was still amazed by it.

Secondly, there is an even greater emotion called guilt.

In order to retain his position as student council president, and even more importantly, to maintain his dignity as the successor to the head of the Siddi family.

She had to resort to underhanded tactics in the student council president election to ensure her victory.

After that, there were quite a few contacts.

And witnessing, both openly and secretly, his efforts to achieve what he wanted.

Regular physical exercise is also good.

In the past, it was worth the effort to obtain the method of cultivating spiritual power.

It's fine to stay in the classroom after school to cultivate spiritual energy.

Looking at Su Mu, Zhi Qu Cang felt as if he had gained a sense of peace.

She wasn't sure if this feeling could be considered liking someone, but it was probably something like, "If I were to continue with this guy, it doesn't seem so bad."

Shiki Sona is a girl with a gentle and quiet personality.

In addition, due to the various ways her older sister instilled knowledge in her, she doesn't have the same naive fantasies about love as girls her age.

Rather than a thrilling, passionate love affair, she longs for a contract and collaboration that allows them to face various difficulties and challenges together.

In her opinion, Su Mu was probably the person who met this criterion.

As for Su Mu's identity...

In fact, as the successor of the Sidi family and the sister of Seraph, one of the four great demon kings of the underworld, she didn't think this kind of problem was a big deal at all.

Cangna understood.

Now, seeing the affectionate interaction between Su Mu and Ta Cheng Xiao Mao...

She instinctively covered her chest.

Yeah, it turns out he was just jealous.

At this moment, Su Mu, who was at the center of the confrontation between Rias and Shido Sona, seemed to finally notice that someone was confronting each other over where to go.

"I think you may have misunderstood something."

Su Mu looked at the two beautiful girls with very different styles, his tone seemingly tinged with helplessness.

"I have no desire to become a demon right now."

"After all, having maintained my human identity for so many years, I don't want to change it easily unless there's a real need."

Before the system awakened, Su Mu would have chosen to become a demon without hesitation.

But now, why not use the power of the system to become stronger as a human?

All previous efforts seem to have been in vain.

However, Su Mu would not stick to the old path just because he wanted to make sure that his past efforts hadn't been in vain, even when there were better options.

"Don't you want to abandon your human identity yet?"

Upon hearing Su Mu's words, Rias's eyes gleamed with excitement.

In her opinion, demons were indeed a better race than humans with their short lifespans.

Su Mu is not yet clear about the supernatural world, but as he learns more, he will naturally begin to doubt the beliefs he once held dear.

Su Mu's previous refusal of my invitation wasn't because of Cang Na, but because of this reason, which is really great.

Once Su Mu realizes the advantages of being a demon, and then extends an invitation, he probably won't refuse anymore.

Sona, standing nearby, glanced at Rias, whose face was filled with excitement, and could naturally guess what she was thinking.

However, Sona's mind was not as optimistic as Rias had imagined.

"What a pity."

She sighed.

The night before last, I heard Su Mu lamenting the limitations of being human.

If I had extended the invitation at that time, he probably wouldn't have refused to become a demon.

But now... all we can say is that fate is playing tricks on us.

Moreover, based on her understanding of Su Mu, since he said he "didn't want to abandon his human identity," then he probably really wouldn't become a demon.

In fact, Sona's guess was correct.

In fact, at that time, Su Mu's desire to become a member of the family was far greater than his desire to take Cang Na's.

However, it was too late in the end.

"Su Mu, I'd like to talk to you about a few things. Do I have a moment to spare?"

Zhi Qu Cang sighed inwardly and looked at Su Mu.

Then, he said in a pleading tone.

(Requesting flowers).

"Cangna, you—?"

Seeing Sona's pleading expression, Rias was immediately dumbfounded. Although she did treat her familiars as family, Rias could also be considered the "head of the household" in this family.

When she actually makes a decision, everyone, whether it's Himejima Akeno who usually seems to be at odds with her or anyone else, will obediently listen to her.

When facing outsiders, they will also work together to save face for her.

Therefore, in her eyes, Sona's extremely weak and pleading posture seemed somewhat unusual.

If it were merely an attempt to persuade one's family members, there shouldn't be any need to resort to such an attitude, right?

Suddenly, Rias realized something, her eyes filled with a strange look.

It seems that for Shiki Sona, this is more than just a family member.

No wonder, even before knowing that Su Mu possessed a divine artifact, Zhiqu Cang was determined to make him his subordinate.

Thinking about it this way, my act of stealing was really not very ethical.

Of course, even if she could do it all over again, Rias would not regret her decision.

“Sure, since it’s President Cang’s invitation, I naturally won’t refuse.” Su Mu nodded.

Su Mu still felt a considerable amount of goodwill towards the demon girl in front of him, named Shiki Sona, or rather, Sona Shide.

Moreover... you can't just ignore the favorability you've built up yourself.

Although he no longer needed her help to reincarnate as a demon, it was impossible for Su Mu not to have any feelings for such a beautiful girl.

In conclusion, Su Mu's favorability towards Sona is far greater than that towards Rias.

"It seems that it will be quite difficult to win Su Mu over from Cang Na."

Looking at the closed activity room door, Akeno Himejima revealed a slightly mischievous smile.

That teasing gaze swept across Rias's face.

After all, this was a rare moment of embarrassment for Rias.

When in front of outsiders, you still need to give Rias face.

But now that neither Su Mu nor Zhi Qu Cang are here, and everyone here is one of our own, there's no need to be so reserved.

I finally made up my mind and confidently tried to steal it from my friend, but I was rejected.

"Shut up." Rias rolled her eyes and said bluntly, "Even though he rejected me, he didn't accept Sona's invitation either. Doesn't that mean I still have a chance?"

"That's not necessarily true. In my opinion, Cangna has a much better chance than you."

Himejima Akeno was completely unconcerned about Rias's angry and embarrassed state, or rather, she was used to it.

This gentle, black-haired woman, with a sly smile on her face, slowly shook her fingers and spoke in a natural tone.

"Based on my observation just now, Cangna seems to have quite a bit of affection for Su Mu. If things go smoothly, it's not impossible for them to even develop into lovers in the future."

"Given this kind of relationship, it's perfectly normal that Su Mu would prefer to be the dependent of your classmate rather than you, right?"

So, you see—

Before Himejima Akeno could finish speaking, a sudden "crack" sound of something being crushed rang out in the activity room.

Akeno Himejima, who had just been teasing Rias, immediately stopped talking.

Both Rias and Akeno Himejima immediately turned their gazes toward the direction from which the sound came.

Tacheng Kitten.

Because of what Akeno Himejima had just said, she subconsciously tightened her grip and accidentally crushed the handful of potato chips she was holding.

"I'm sorry, Minister, Himejima-senpai, I was a little out of line."

Tacheng Xiaomao took a deep breath, stood up, and wore the same indifferent expression as always.

"Lunch break is almost over, so I'll head back to the classroom now."

As she spoke, she put the potato chip crumbs in her hand directly into her mouth, then patted the remaining powder off her hands and got up to leave.

"Hey, Akeno."
