After Azazel left, Roy smiled gently at Ravel and said, “Ravel, about the cooperation, you can go back and discuss with your parents sometime.”

“Okay.” Ravel nodded. She also knew that their Phenex clan took advantage of this incident. If it weren’t for her, it would be impossible for them to participate in this business cooperation. Ravel couldn’t help but feel a grateful as she looked at Roy.

“Koneko, why are you looking at me like this?” Roy suddenly felt a sharp and cold gaze falling on him, and then looked at the owner of the gaze: Koneko.

Her cute face was still expressionless, but her golden eyes were quietly watching Roy.

“As soon as the President leaves, you start having ideas.” There was no fluctuation in Koneko’s voice, but he could clearly feel the dissatisfaction in her emotions. “I’ve never seen anyone…”

“Koneko, this kind of thing is actually very complicated.” But Ravel began to defend Roy, persuading her, “In this situation, it is actually a good thing for Roy and Lavinia to marry. Not only can we strengthen our cooperative relationship with the Grigori, but we can also gain a powerful ally.”

“Okay, I know.” Koneko nodded and said, “I’m going back to my room.” After speaking, she got up and went to the second floor.

“Koneko looks angry.” Ravel said with a bit of distress, “It seems that Koneko really likes Lady Rias.”

“I don’t think so.” Raynare, who was standing aside, smiled and said, “She seems to be throwing a tantrum and is jealous of Lady Lavinia.”

“Jealous?” Ravel tilted her head.

“Yes, indeed.” Raynare nodded slightly and said, “Because she didn’t get Lord Roy’s favor, she’s making trouble for him. I have to say, whether it’s her figure or personality, she’s still a child.” Raynare’s eyes fell on the second floor, a smile appearing on the corner of her mouth as she smiled coquettishly.

“Does Koneko like Roy too?” Ravel showed a look of sudden realization, but in her heart, she felt that this was a good thing.

The next day, Ravel specially asked for a day off from school, returned to the Underworld, and planned to tell her parents about the cooperation.

Rias and Akeno finally finished dealing with their affairs in the Underworld and returned to Kuoh Town that night. The two also brought back the news that in the near future, a summit between the three Factions would be held at Kuoh Academy, and peace negotiations would be held at the meeting.

Although the two had already heard the news from Roy and Kokabiel, when they actually got confirmation from the Maou himself, they were still a little stunned.

When Rias came back, Roy told her about the potion cooperation. In response, Rias complained, grumbling that Roy did not explain it to her earlier. If he had said it earlier, she could have told her parents directly when she was in the Underworld this time, so she wouldn’t have to make an extra trip.

However, Rias was also clear that Roy wasn’t just doing it for cooperation, but was also using this potion to trade with Azazel to get some benefits.

As for the matter with Lavinia, Rias didn’t care. Her thoughts were similar to Ravel’s. If a Sacred Gear host could be paired with Roy, then it would be of great help to him. What’s more, this girl was the adopted sister of the Hakuryuukou. This identity alone was enough for Rias to value her.

Although Rias had great confidence in Roy and firmly believed that he could win a battle with the Hakuryuukou, it was inevitable to worry about accidents. After all, that was the powerful, fated rival who had fought the Sekiryuutei for generations.

At eight o’clock in the evening, a Fallen Angel visited Roy’s villa and sent over the books on magic formulas and Sacred Gear research agreed upon by Azazel.

He had to admit, the Grigori’s collection was very rich. The magic formulas sent over contained many different aspects of magic. Of course, what satisfied Roy the most was that there were quite a few spells related to spatial control. In addition to teleportation circles, there were also spells for creating barrier blockades.

Although these spells couldn’t be called extremely powerful, they gave Roy a lot of extra options, broadened his horizons, and made up for some of his shortcomings.

Possessing the two skills Seven Deadly Sins and Omniscient, Roy quickly mastered the spells. It only took one night for him to master more than half of the magic formulas.

If the Omniscient hadn’t been turned on all the time, Roy would have been able to fully master the magic formulas sent by Azazel in one night, though it would have consumed a lot of energy.

Because there was enough time, Roy didn’t force himself. After feeling tired, he went back to his room to rest, planning to wait until the next day to master the rest of them. Of course, the more important thing was that Roy had first mastered the magic formulas that were most useful to him and that he was interested in. The rest were only formulas that were not very helpful to him. The main reason to learn them all was simply to broaden his views on magic.

When Roy had rested all night and got up to continue mastering the magic he hadn’t learned last night, he heard a very familiar cry again. There was no doubt that the cry was from an acquaintance.

When Roy walked out of his room, a familiar scene greeted him in the living room.

Xenovia and Irina hugged each other and cried. However, Asia was not among the crying people this time. Instead, Asia played the role of comforting the two, whispering comforting words beside them.

“Do you two regard my place as some kind of crying spot? You always come here to cry in the early morning,” Roy couldn’t help complaining. It couldn’t be helped. Although Xenovia and Irina were crying miserably, the situation felt more like a running joke.
