Chapter 80
The place where Rias Gremory held the banquet was actually not far from the Supernatural Research Department. It was located in the old school building, but it was not on the same floor.
When Lu Ji and Akeno Himejima arrived, everyone was already sitting around a long dining table, and a dazzling array of food covered the entire table.
The person sitting in the uppermost position was Rias Gremory. Then, using her left and right sides as distinctions, the original dependents sat on the right side, while the positions of the seven temporary dependents were arranged on the left. now.
There was only one person sitting on the right side of the dining table. The other person was a young man with short light blond hair. He looked quite handsome and was also wearing the uniform of Kuoh Academy.
With his eyes sweeping over his body, Lu Ji knew his identity - Kiba Yuuto.
Rias Gremory is another dependent besides Himejima Akeno and Tashiro Koneko. She also has the same rank as Ryuki and is a knight with high agility.
In the left-hand position of Rias Gremory, five people, except Lu Ji and Onimusi Muzan, had already taken their seats.
The reason why Menge, Sendumu Aye, Hanabata Yoshiko, and Butterfly Ninja are all women is that they are naturally sitting together, and they are chatting with each other about what they saw in the afternoon at Kuou Academy.
Only Naofumi Iwatani alone occupies three positions.
That's why.
After seeing Lu Ji and Guiwu Shiwubai arrive, he looked very excited and shouted to them:
"Mr. LvJi, Mr. Wuxian! This way!"
The seat where Naofumi Iwatani is sitting is the second seat from the left to Rias Gremory's left. The two seats to his left and right are both empty. It is obviously prepared for Lu Ji and Onimushi Muzan.
In When faced with a strong person,
Gui Wu Shiwu was particularly good at"being a man". He consciously moved half a step ahead of Lu Ji and sat in the third position first, intending to give up the most advantageous position to Lu Ji. Ji.
Without being polite, Lu Ji simply sat in the seat closest to Rias Gremory, and the person sitting opposite him was the"Queen" Himejima Akeno.
"Mr. LvJi, did you have a good rest in the afternoon?"As soon as she sat down, Rias Gremory greeted Lu Ji politely and politely.
After hearing this, Lu Ji responded cooperatively,"I had a good rest, and the tea in the research department is also delicious."
After another pleasant conversation, Rias Gremory first motioned for everyone to eat. After they had finished drinking and eating, she asked the people on the left and right to introduce themselves to each other.
Then she told about Gremory The Li family and the Phoenix family decided to marry in order to continue the purity of the superior demon bloodline.
In terms of family continuation, her personal wishes are obviously insignificant.
Therefore.
Even if Rias Gremory protests to the family, Still unable to prevent the marriage between the two families.
In the environment where pure-blooded upper-level demons are becoming increasingly rare in the Demon World.
In order to avoid another reduction in the number of pure-blooded demons due to bloody conflicts, it is called a ranking game and will not The nature of a duel with real fatalitiesThe competition gradually emerged.
As long as they can win in the ranked game, the winning side can even win everything from the losing side.
When the protest was ineffective, Rias Gremory could only choose to use ranking games to prevent the marriage of the two superior demon families.
Under her helpless narration, the six group members except Lu Ji basically understood the whole story of this mission.
Meng'er and Butterfly Ninja, who were both women, were very willing to help Rias Gremory escape from the marriage and expressed their firm support.
Sitting here silently, Onimusi Shimuzan expressed no concern about this in his heart, and even felt that Rias Gremory's behavior was a bit stupid.
In his opinion.
As long as it is good for yourself and your family, it doesn't matter even if you marry a stranger.
If you are unhappy with the person you are marrying, just kill them directly afterwards.
As Hanahata Yoshiko, who has always had"playing" throughout her life, when she heard Rias Gremory explain what a ranked game was, she was the first to raise her hand to express her willingness to participate.
As long as she can play, she doesn't care what she plays with.
When dinner is about to end.
Kiba Yuto, who was sitting at the bottom on the right hand side, suddenly raised his hand and said:
"Minister, I have a bold suggestion"
"It's still early, so why don't we hold a friendly competition so that everyone can understand each other's fighting methods."
In fact, as long as you are a little smarter, you can see Kiba Yuto's true intention?
It's true that you understand the fighting method, but more importantly, you want to understand the specific strength of their temporary relatives.
"this……"
However.
In Rias Gremory's opinion, this was a bit too hasty.
Although she also wanted to know the strength of several people besides Lu Ji, Butterfly Ninja, and Onimusi Muzan, she felt that she could learn more about them little by little in the days to come, and there was no need to be so anxious.
On the contrary, this may also cause resistance. so.
She was immediately ready to reject the proposal, but a voice spoke before her.
"I think this proposal is very good. It just so happens that we also need your strength as a reference to estimate the strength of the enemies we will encounter in ranked games."
His sudden opening made Rias Gremory swallow back the words that were on her lips, but there was still some concern on her face.
Upon seeing this,
Lu Ji looked at the other people on his side and asked in a questioning tone. He opened his mouth and said:
"Meng'er, Miss Xendumu, Miss Shinobu, Mr. Wuhan, Naofumi, do you have any questions?"
"Hmm~ I think it’s okay."
Meng'er was the first to answer, followed by Naofumi Iwatani.
"That's no problem for me either."
After that, there is the Butterfly Ninja[]
Although the remaining Xiandumu Aye and Guiwu Shiwubai did not respond verbally, they both nodded slightly, indicating that they were fine.
"Eh? Why not me!"
Then Hanabata Yoshiko realized belatedly that Lu Ji didn't seem to ask her opinion at all.
"After drinking that potion, I also became very strong!"
"Now even if Xiao Ming hits me, I can’t feel the pain at all!"
Hanahata Yoshiko, who was not angry at being ignored, showed off her biceps in front of everyone.
