Jiang Jing's gaze fell on Aoyama Nanami's throat. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Is that so? We'll see. Alright, class is about to start. Aoyama, you can go back to your classroom now."

Jiang Jing's lack of further questioning relieved Aoyama Nanami, who then asked curiously, "Kanda, aren't you going back to the classroom?"

Jiang Jing shrugged: "I'm not going back. I'm going to check out the club activity room. I need to pick up Zhenbai after school so we can go back together."

Aoyama Nanami's eyes showed envy: "Kanda, you're dating Shiina-san now, right? Don't deny it. Who lacks common sense to take care of someone for two months and still have to take them to and from school every day?"

Jiang Jing smiled slightly and did not deny it: "I would say we are dating. Zhenbai is indeed learning about dating right now."

"So you really are dating." Although she had been prepared for this, Aoyama Nanami felt a strange emptiness and disappointment in her heart after hearing Jiang Jing admit it.

"Kanda, I'll head back to the classroom now."

"Ah."

Watching Aoyama Nanami's departing figure as she ascended the stairs, Jiang Jing thought for a moment, then turned and walked downstairs.

Jiang Jing noticed Aoyama Nanami's problem that day; like Yukino Yukinoshita, it was a sign of her genetic traces awakening, which is a precursor to the awakening of her abilities.

However, unlike the Yukino and Yukino sisters who were able to successfully awaken, Nanami Aoyama's mutation is in her throat, and she is somewhere between successfully awakening and failing.

Furthermore, even if the ability is successfully awakened, it will only be a voice-based ability with little potential.

Because it was so faint, there was no energy fluctuation emitted, and the association's detection mechanism could not detect this useless little ability awakening reaction.

Aoyama Nanami has always lived in ordinary society and her family is very ordinary. Unlike Yukinoshita Haruno, she has never been in contact with the extraordinary world because of her family. Therefore, Jiang Jing never thought of taking action.

Jiang Jing would show extra concern for Aoyama Nanami, a friend from an ordinary period, but he wouldn't interfere with her life like he would with Mashiro, who was already considered his woman.

If the other party successfully awakens this time, Jiang Jing will lend a helping hand so that she will not be in a state of panic and unease because she suddenly has extraordinary abilities.

If she fails to awaken, she can continue living as an ordinary person and continue pursuing her dream of becoming a voice actress. Jiang Jing will also lend a hand if he can.

"Hey, Rias, you've started skipping class too." Pushing open the door to the activity room, Jiang Jing saw Rias sitting in her executive chair, looking down at some documents.

At this moment, Jiang Jing sensed that Rias's aura had stabilized at the mid-stage of an ordinary Demon King, and the large amount of Dragon Soul Law Origin Power stored in her body had not yet been fully absorbed and refined.

Once they reach the pseudo-god level, it becomes extremely difficult for those gods and demon kings to make even the slightest progress; it often takes decades or even centuries to advance even a single level.

To further differentiate them, some pantheon systems subdivide this major realm into lower-level gods, middle-level gods, and upper-level gods, corresponding to ordinary demon kings, powerful demon kings, and king-level demon kings in the underworld.

This explains why the difference in strength between the early and later stages of Demon Kings and Gods who are uniformly registered as Silver Moon Rank in the Human Association is so significant.

Because each step forward represents a breakthrough to a new level.

If the outside world were to find out that Rias, who had only broken through to the level of an ordinary Demon Lord ten days ago, had already made another step forward, countless people would be shocked and envious.

"Kōta, you've arrived." Rias, with her fair skin, beautiful features, and elegant demeanor, smiled gently as she looked at Jiang Jing as he approached, her eyes sparkling.

"I came to see you all."

As he spoke, Jiang Jing picked Rias up and sat on her exclusive boss chair, letting her sit on his lap.

With his chin resting on Rias's shoulder, feeling the soft, silky touch of her red hair and the faint, delicate fragrance emanating from the woman in his arms, Jiang Jing asked lazily.

"It smells wonderful, did you change your perfume today?"

Leaning against Jiang Jing's chest, Rias smiled slightly: "Yes, when Griffia sent the documents over, she also brought up the top-quality batch of Hell's Tongue perfume from the Moragos family, a newly ascended demon noble family this year."

"Greyfeya, didn't she go to the restricted area with your brother? It's completely stable there now." Jiang Jing asked casually, his arm around Rias's slender waist.

"Well, it is said that although some unexpected things happened during the process, the demonic tide caused by this void storm has begun to subside thanks to the joint efforts of the major forces that were well prepared."

With his eyes closed, Jiang Jing rubbed against Rias's fair and smooth neck and said lazily, "Is that so? Looks like I'll be able to relax for a while."

"Kongtai, why aren't you interested in power and money? Aren't you humans the ones who love to control power and enjoy the thrill of dominating others?" Leaning against Jiang Jing's chest, Rias, whose relationship with him was already quite intimate, asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time.

"With your current strength, if you were to reveal your thoughts, you would already be able to become one of the highest decision-making councilors in the human realm, just like Yan, looking down upon all living beings."

The highest decision-making council in the human realm is a council composed mainly of the ten strongest beings in the human realm, as well as top experts from other cultivation forces and races in the human realm. It is also known as the Alliance Conference.

However, only the seventeen members of this council have the right to speak and make decisions; other members only have the right to attend meetings, or report any conflicts that need to be mediated to the councilors for a decision.

Jiang Jing said lazily, "Troublesome."

"Trouble?" Rias was taken aback.

“Yes, these things are troublesome. What is the purpose of our cultivation?” Jiang Jing asked in return.

"Of course, it's eternal and indestructible, to control the fate of all living beings with invincible power, and to enjoy being worshipped and revered by all living beings." As she finished speaking, a blush of excitement appeared on Rias's face.

As a demon, even though Rias is influenced by modern knowledge and usually behaves very politely and has a peaceful personality, the demonic nature engraved in her bones will not change, nor will her thirst for power and pursuit of dominating all living beings.

Jiang Jing said calmly, "Then have you said that those so-called high and mighty demon kings and supreme beings of the underworld achieved the first goal of eternal immortality?"

"...It seems not." Rias hesitated for a moment.

Jiang Jing opened his eyes and chuckled, "Can anyone forcibly control me?"

"Of course not. With your current strength, who has the right to force you to do things?" Rias said without hesitation.

"That's it. My pursuits are different from those people's, and I already have the freedom to do things that I don't want to do and no one can make me do them. Of course, I can do whatever I want."

"Right now, I want to live a simple and peaceful life, so I go to school and come home every day. When I want to rule the world, I will rule the world. So there's no why, only whether I want to or not."

"And my answer to your initial question is, I don't want to right now, understand?"

Looking at Jiang Jing's handsome face so close to her and his clear, bright eyes, Rias sensed an indescribable confidence and domineering aura emanating from his calm tone, and felt a surge of heat throughout her body.

"What, you've been conquered by my charm so easily?" With that, Jiang Jing pressed his lips against Rias's alluring red lips, who was somewhat lost in thought.

At the same time, the hand that was around her waist was not well-behaved, and one hand landed on her long, straight thigh that was not wearing stockings, and moved upwards.

The atmosphere in the activity room suddenly became ambiguous.

An hour later, Rias, disheveled and drenched in sweat, leaned against Jiang Jing's chest...

……

At 3:30, the school bell rang on time. Among the crowd leaving school to go home, Jiang Jing carried Shiina Mashiro's backpack and walked out of the school gate side by side with her.

"Hey, Yuto, aren't you going to the activity room today?"

As soon as Jiang Jing stepped out of the school gate, he saw Kiba Yuuto looking like he was in a hurry.

Upon hearing Jiang Jing's voice, Kiba Yuto stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Jiang Jing with a delighted expression, saying, "Hello, Kanda-senpai."

Then Kiba Yuto looked at Shiina Mashiro with surprise and said politely, "Hello, Shiina-kun."

"Hello." Shiina Mashiro also glanced at the blond youth in front of her.

Jiang Jing's gaze fell on him, and he smiled slightly: "Hmm, you've broken through? Not bad. How's the kitten?"

Speaking of this, Kiba Yuto said gratefully, "I have to thank you for your help, senior. Otherwise, it would have taken me at least another month to break through this time. The same was true for Neko yesterday."

"And thanks to the guidance of my senior, the kitten was able to fuse the two powers within its body and its strength is now so great that even I am no match for it."

Kiba Yuto didn't avoid Shiina Mashiro when he was saying these things, because as he approached, he could vaguely sense an energy fluctuation emanating from Shiina Mashiro.

After a moment's thought, he knew that Jiang Jing must have already helped this girl embark on the path to the extraordinary.

Jiang Jing nodded: "Really? You look like you have something to do, then go ahead and get busy."

Kiba Yuuto, who clearly had urgent business, said respectfully, "Then, Kanda-senpai, Shiina-kun, goodbye."

Watching Kiba Yuto's departing figure, Shiina Mashiro asked curiously, "Sorata, he..."

Holding Shiina Mashiro's outstretched hand, Jiang Jing casually remarked as they walked, "Did you sense it? Yes, he's just like us."

“He’s just like us, which means that the people in the research department that Sorata joined also have special powers.” The clever Shiina Mashiro made this connection after a little thought.

"Yes, Rias, Akeno Himejima, and Koneko are all like that, as are Chtholly and Akame from next door. However, Chtholly and the other two have health problems, and their powers are currently sealed." Jiang Jing didn't hide anything and simply told Shiina Mashiro this.

"Oh." Shiina Mashiro, who originally thought that extraordinary people and those in comics were very rare, simply said "oh" and appeared very calm on the surface, but a sense of relief and lingering fear welled up in her heart.

Because if she hadn't entered this world, she and Jiang Jing might have drifted further and further apart one day, and she would have ended up watching helplessly as Rias and the others, who possessed extraordinary powers and belonged to the same world, took Jiang Jing away.

After Rias and Akeno Himejima showed their desire to compete for her view of the river at the banquet that day, Shiina Mashiro harbored a subtle hostility towards them.

Chapter 187 I'm just going to buy some soy sauce, and Megumi and Kanna are completely bewildered (7K)

Back at Sakura-sou, Jiang Jing heard the rustling sounds of writing and drawing upstairs. The image of Misaki Kamiigusa busy at her computer immediately flashed into his mind, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

Jiang Jing handed the backpack to Shiina Mashiro and walked into the house: "Mashiro, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll go change my clothes and make you some snacks to tide you over."

“Okay.” Shiina Mashiro’s eyes lit up.

After changing into a white outfit with printed patterns and shorts, Jiang Jing went back inside and got busy with the refrigerator.

A little over ten minutes later, Jiang Jing made a regular cake using eggs and gluten flour. He opened the oven, cut it open, and divided it into two small plates: "One for each of you. Take one up to your senior first."

"Sora, I want the large one."

"Okay, you can have the larger portion."

Smelling the aroma of freshly baked cake, Shiina Mashiro, standing outside the kitchen counter, wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, grunted in agreement, and happily served one to Kamiigusa Misaki.

Although she really wanted to eat it all, Shiina Mashiro was very well-behaved because she remembered how good Misaki was to her. She didn't do anything to the cake, like slimming it down, on the way there.

Even though Eijiro cooks very quickly, it usually takes about an hour to prepare dinner for five people at Sakura-sou. So, after Shiina Mashiro went upstairs, Eijiro began preparing dinner.

For example, first cut the fish and beef, marinate the ones that need to be marinated, and prepare the other vegetables and seasonings in advance.

That way, he can finish quickly when he comes out around five o'clock. Today, he's going to start preparing to write the later volumes of the Dragon and Tiger novel.

It's only 600,000 to 700,000 words. Jiang Jing, who no longer needs to hide his identity from Shiina Mashiro, can write 60,000 to 70,000 words per hour and finish it in two days when he has free time. This is still due to the sensitivity and limits of the keyboard.

However, just as Shiina Mashiro sat down at the table, enjoying the delicious cake, Jiang Jing, who had already prepared the preliminary work, noticed that the soy sauce was gone again.

"Zhenbai, I'm going out to buy some soy sauce. Don't steal any of the cut fruit on the counter, okay? It's for dessert later."
