DxD: Wrong Way

Just let me see what kind of strength you, the little devil, have… 

Looking at Aoki, who was facing the red-haired delinquent, Amano Yuuma smiled slightly, and a strange smile that did not suit his temperament appeared on his innocent and pretty face. 

"I'll keep the girl behind." 

Aoki is not one to drag things out; he finishes matters as quickly as possible and distances himself from this dangerous woman at the earliest opportunity. 

He raised his finger at the cold-faced red-haired delinquent: "It doesn't matter if you fight with others or alone. If you're a man, go ahead." 

The red-haired delinquent looked at Amano Yuuma behind Aoki.

It was obvious that this woman approached him on her own initiative, stating she wanted to win over the pretty boy before him, who was highly attractive to women at first sight, and that she would become his girlfriend. 

Why did he seem to have become the villain now? 

This arrangement was made by Amano Yuuma solely for him.

It was likely that no one had responded to his letter. 

As he observed that woman's appearance, the red-haired delinquent doubted that she would honestly keep her promise. 

Amano Yuuma never intended to keep her promise

Regardless of who won or lost, she would later find the red-haired delinquent to erase or wipe away this memory. 

Thus, he didn't care whether the red-haired delinquent was speaking the truth or not. 

The red-haired delinquent pushed his younger brother aside and stated coldly, "It seems that woman deceived us all, but your attitude makes me very unhappy..." 

Aoki put his hands in his pockets and displayed a dull expression. 

"I told you to be clear. I only collect money to do things. Other matters have nothing to do with me." 

He didn't know what Akeno Himejima received as a reward for accepting the commission

It was unlikely to be money, but it would suffice if the purpose was fulfilled. 

The red-haired delinquent narrowed his eyes and glared at Aoki with murderous intent. 

He hated being interrupted during a conversation, so he would deal with the pretty boy first and then settle the score with that woman. 

The red-haired delinquent relied on his extraordinary power to completely ignore Aoki and Amano Yuuma, since he didn't sense the same kind of aura from the two. 

But what he didn't know was that Aoki and Amano Yuuma were much stronger than he was, and he couldn't sense them unless they deliberately leaked their auras. 

The red-haired delinquent never even considered that.

Someone strong enough to crush him wouldn't be so bored as to take advantage of him for amusement.

Unfortunately, that's what it is. 

Amano Yuuma simply uses him as a pathfinder, which is essentially the same as using him for fun. 

What's even more unfortunate is that Aoki's strength is far greater than Amano Yuuma estimated. 

Thus, the red-haired delinquent faced the Waterloo of life. 

The battle had just begun, and before he could use his favorite fire magic, he was defeated by Aoki, who was nearby. 

The red-haired bad boy tried to fight back.

His physical attributes were nourished and strengthened by magic power, making him much stronger than ordinary people, but he was completely inadequate against Aoki. 

Aoki didn't even need to use physical control. He easily knocked out the red-haired delinquent with just speed, strength, and a bit of skill. 

The red-haired delinquent's cold face became suspicious of life, and he didn't understand what the problem was until he fainted. 

"Boss!!!" 

Seeing that their leader couldn't get back up, the young gangsters rushed over, shouting to control him. 

Some of the most loyal ones ran toward Aoki while shouting, trying to avenge the red-haired delinquent. 

Aoki respected their loyalty and defeated each one, letting them fall into a coma alongside the red-haired delinquent. 

The remaining gangsters glared angrily, but they didn't dare to attack Aoki again. 

If they fainted too, who would take the boss and brothers lying on the ground to the hospital? 

The gangsters comforted themselves, uttering the same old harsh words while they honestly lifted their unconscious comrades, then turned and ran toward the road. 

Aoki had no intention of giving chase, so he turned to look at the innocent and lovely high school girl. 

"Miss Amano, this should be enough." 

"Thank you, Uesugi-kun. These people have been giving me a headache for a long time." 

Amano Yuuma maintained his disguise, hiding his surprise: "To express my gratitude, I will treat Uesugi-kun to a meal." 

"There is no need to eat. I am just completing the tasks assigned to me by my senpais." 

Aoki smiled and said, "Also, I am a devil. Isn't Miss Amano afraid at all?" 

"Because... because... Uesugi-kun is very handsome, and I want to spend more time with Uesugi-kun." 

Amano Yuuma blushed and lowered her head to look at her round-toed shoes, showing the shyness of a simple girl. 

Aoki was amazed watching from the sidelines.

'You're so good at acting that I won't watch the next Oscars without you. '

"Really, Miss Amano is also very cute." 

Amano Yuuma raised his head and looked expectantly at Aoki with his big, beautiful eyes. "Then..."

"Then, I'm going home."

Aoki turned around without hesitation and said seriously, "It would be bad if Miss Amano fascinated me."

Amano Yuuma watched Aoki's back with interest and followed him with light steps.

Aoki was unusually wary of her, and the previous battle had been too fast.

Apart from determining that Aoki was at the B level, she didn't gain any other information.

After following him for a while and seeing that Aoki didn't really pay attention to her, Amano Yuuma stopped and gave up on trying to find out more. 

As a dependent, Aoki's strength is already B-level, and his owner is at least A-level, with the possibility of being even higher.

An A-level powerhouse is someone Amano Yuuma cannot confront unless she asks her superiors to intervene.

Kuoh Town is under the control of the Gremory family, but that doesn't mean there aren't other forces present.

Amano Yuuma came to Kuoh Town for other tasks, and because she had offended the Gremory family out of curiosity, her later actions would certainly be affected, leading to more losses than gains.

Feeling the disappearance of Amano Yuuma's presence, Aoki slowly exhaled. 

The appearance of Amano Yuuma indicates that the gears of history have begun to turn.

If he cannot find a way, he will have no choice but to leave the Boosted Gear.

He found it impossible to use secret techniques to deprive Hyoudou Issei of the Boosted Gear after Issei awakened.

This is akin to killing Hyoudou Issei.

He's aware of whether it can be used by him at that time or not.

It is not in his character to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Furthermore, Aoki does not hate Hyoudou Issei

In fact, he appreciates his straightforward nature. 

To put it bluntly, he is heartless, easy to deceive, holds no grudges, and values feelings.

Killing such a person would make it impossible for Aoki to overcome the obstacle in his heart.

Taking a step back, if Rias and the others knew about this, he would no longer be able to stay at Kuoh Academy or even in Kuoh Town, and all the interpersonal relationships he had managed to build would be destroyed.

It's not worth taking such a huge risk for a weapon that may not even work.

Aoki always remembers that the "hack" of his life is his ability Dual Cultivation.

The Boosted Gear is indeed very powerful, but it is only one of the Longinus.

His awakened dual cultivation ability is truly unique.

After completing the commission, Aoki welcomed the weekend once again.

He temporarily set aside the matter of enhancing the lightning talent.

Himejima Akeno's attitude clearly indicated that this topic was off the table for the time being.

On Saturday, Aoki and Hamazaki Reina took a trip to the hot springs.

Naturally, it turned into a wild party after arriving, making the girl in charge of delivering the food blush.

Had he not quickly escaped, the noisy Kurumizaka Ruri would have almost made him lie on Aoki's lap. Following that, it was only natural to enjoy the hot springs.

It wasn't until the four of us had our legs intertwined that the hot spring session finally came to an end. 

On Sunday, Aoki also couldn't rest and was busy helping Miyajima Sakura and the Takamine sisters enhance their strength.

At the same time, he didn't forget to register at the Miyajima Dojo and continue learning the way of the sword.

For two days, he spent nearly all his time on the women's bodies.

If it weren't for the existence of the dual cultivation ability, no matter how strong his physique was, he would eventually become exhausted.

On Monday, Aoki yawned and followed the crowd into the spacious indoor gym for the weekly morning meeting.

While standing in line, he unconsciously slapped his waist.

The lack of sleep was real, and he didn't actually feel any discomfort in his waist, but rather that he had moved around too much over the past two days, which always made him feel like he needed a massage.

The morning meeting followed the same old routine, and Aoki lost interest after hearing just a few words.

If the person on the podium hadn't been Shitori Sona, he would have likely closed his eyes right then. 

It's a new week, and Shitori Sona finally appeared, but Aoki was uncertain if Rias had returned.

He subconsciously glanced at the second-year team.

He didn't see the long, bright red hair, but his eyes suddenly darkened.

Kuro?

Why is this little creature here?

He looked in surprise at the small black ball that was bouncing up and down in front of his eyes while constantly sending him messages.
