Chapter 187 The Cooperation Begins
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
After Asia became a Peerage1, the atmosphere in the Occult Research Club (ORC) was lively for several days. Aki soon stopped thinking about Gaspar’s situation. The storm stirred by the butterfly’s wings continued to roll and grow larger; without the existence of Hyoudou Issei, whether Gaspar would have ever crossed paths with the Occult Research Club (ORC) was uncertain.
On March 30th, the messengers for Himejima Akeno and Azazel finally reached an agreement and signed a cooperation Contract. Two days later, the new school year began at Kuoh Academy. Aki advanced to the second year, and during the classroom reassignment, Koneko and Yuuto were placed in the same class as him. At the same time, Amano Yuuma (Raynare), Asia, and Mittelt entered his class as transfer students.
Because there were two foreigners among the transfer students, Kalawarner logically secured a position as the homeroom teacher for Class 2-A under the guise of being a specially appointed foreign language instructor. In this way, except for the third-year students Rias and Himejima Akeno, all the members of the Occult Research Club (ORC) gathered in the same class.
Under Rias’s arrangement, the students and teachers in Class 2-A were all people from the Inner World. Among them were the Hamazaki Reina Gyaru2 trio, Nanao Akane, Suzumori Mizuki, Sakuramachi Touko, Yomisawa Tsukino, the Sakuramiya sisters… There wasn’t much space left anyway, and most of it was filled with people Aki knew. Moreover, except for Aki and Yuuto… Well, besides Aki, there were no other males in Class 2-A.
Watching the group of schoolgirls around him with pink hearts in their eyes, Aki finally understood what Rias’s meaningful smile at the opening ceremony meant. Because of Yuuto’s situation, he had been participating in group debauchery3 often lately, and the schoolgirls in the classroom had all been through him these past few days… Judging by how they looked, many of them were still obsessed with it.
”Cough, cough!!! Sit down, class is about to start,” Kalawarner muttered.
Aki used the cough to cast a low-level mental magic, which was the only reason the sacred classroom didn’t turn into a new venue for debauchery. Among them, he specifically targeted Yuuto. Aki had deliberately assigned her to the furthest seat, and regardless of the strange looks from those around her, she kept sticking to him… (She is a girl, she is a busty blonde schoolgirl, busty blonde schoolgirl, busty blonde schoolgirl…) After muttering that in his heart for a while, Aki was finally able to barely restrain himself.
On the third day of the school term, club activities officially began, and the cooperation with Azazel also formally commenced. The first batch of supplies had already been transported to the Cathedral base. In exchange, Aki provided Rias with information regarding the use and development of Fallen Angel powers via written letters. Azazel’s plan to infiltrate the inside was unsuccessful; this method was what Rias and the others had discussed with Aki. When the time came later where face-to-face instruction was necessary, she would lead everyone to the Cathedral base on a regular basis.
Azazel was at first a bit displeased, muttering, “This is such a waste of time, some things can’t be explained well in writing.” He proposed that he could come to Kuoh Academy instead. He said they could arrange a place for him to stay, or even just live in the clubroom if that didn’t work. But due to Rias’s firm attitude, he ultimately did not get his way.
Initially, both Aki and Rias breathed a sigh of relief, thinking if they kept it like this, things would be easier to handle after the Three Factions Talk. However, just a few days later, Azazel showed up and, with an extremely overbearing attitude, stated that he wanted to move into the Occult Research Club (ORC).
April 10th, 3:00 PM. Azazel finished his call with the Phoenix family. He toyed with the Sacred Gear in his hand that had fused the body and soul of Freed, wearing an evil smile. Freed had lost Asia, but considering the relationship between the two sides, Azazel did not pursue the matter with Rias. As a replacement and punishment, Freed was used directly for his experiments.
”So that’s how Sirzechs feels,” Azazel whispered. “Then I don’t need to be polite.”
