In the Reception Room
While waiting for Sona, Akira was practicing using his Sacred Gear.
He extended his left hand forward.
The crimson gauntlet of the Red Dragon Emperor appeared.
[Boost!]
The green jewel emitted a radiant glow.
As the green jewel flashed, Akira's strength doubled.
"Not enough."
Akira continued to maintain the use of his Sacred Gear.
Ten seconds later.
[Boost!]
The Red Dragon Emperor's jewel glowed again, and Akira's power doubled once more.
"Still not enough."
Akira wanted to test his limits.
"Hyoudou Issei, who had just become a reincarnated demon, was able to defeat a mid-class fallen angel using his Sacred Gear and sheer determination."
"His Dragon Shot, enhanced by the Red Dragon Emperor, had power comparable to a high-class demon."
"If a low-class demon who had just reincarnated could do it, there's no reason I, who have already reached the peak of low-class demons, can't."
[Boost!]
[Boost!]
[Boost!]
[Boost!]
...
After doubling his power more than ten times in a row, Akira finally reached his limit.
"Whew!~"
He let out a long breath and closed his eyes, trying to adapt to this state.
Because, before developing his "Balance Breaker," this would likely be the ability he used most frequently.
...
A few minutes later, Akira deactivated his Sacred Gear.
The crimson gauntlet disappeared instantly, and Akira collapsed weakly onto the sofa.
[Akira, here's some tea to restore your energy.]
Agumon brought a cup of tea to Akira.
She was happy that Akira was getting stronger.
This way, Akira could fight alongside her.
Moreover, if he became stronger, he wouldn't feel so much pressure.
Having accompanied Akira all this time, Agumon knew how much effort Akira had put into other areas despite lacking talent in cultivation.
Now, Akira's efforts were finally paying off, and Agumon was genuinely happy for him.
...
"Thanks, Agumon."
Akira drank the hot tea in one gulp.
Steam rose from his body.
A few seconds later, the tea took effect, and Akira's magic power, stamina, and mental energy began to recover at an astonishing rate.
The reason this special tea had such effects was also thanks to his status as an heir to the Leviathan bloodline.
Ordinary low-class demons wouldn't have access to such high-quality items.
...
An hour later.
Akira had mostly recovered about sixty to seventy percent of his energy.
"Whoosh~"
The light of a teleportation circle flashed.
The Sitri family crest on the magic circle revealed the identity of the visitor.
Sona Sitri—Akira's fiancée.
From the magic circle, two beautiful girls wearing Kuoh Academy uniforms gradually appeared.
As a high-class demon, Sona usually brought her Queen, "Shinra Tsubaki," to formal occasions.
Seeing his fiancée again, Akira's gaze was full of appreciation.
He admitted that Sona was an undeniable beauty.
Among the category of cold, literary beauties, Sona was undoubtedly one of the best.
Her skin was fair and smooth, her demeanor noble and aloof. Behind her glasses, her rose-colored eyes were gentle yet sharp.
Her slender waist and smooth, fair thighs were particularly eye-catching.
Though not as voluptuous as Rias, she had a healthy, clean beauty that would undoubtedly feel great wrapped around one's waist.
Not just Sona, but her Queen, Shinra Tsubaki, also had a unique charm.
Shinra Tsubaki, like Akeno, exuded a strong Yamato Nadeshiko vibe.
The difference was that while Akeno was gentle like water, Tsubaki's gentleness was deeply hidden.
...
"Akira-kun, it's been a while."
Sona adjusted her glasses and performed the greeting etiquette between high-class demons.
She felt a bit strange.
The way Akira looked at her was different from before.
Previously, Akira's gaze had been that of someone looking at a rival or a superior.
Now, Akira was looking at her as an equal, even appraising her.
She didn't like this feeling.
...
A few minutes later.
At the expensive mahogany table.
Akira and Sona sat facing each other, with Agumon and Tsubaki standing by their sides.
After drinking the tea served by Hayasaka Nao and completing the formalities of a high-class demon meeting, Sona got straight to the point.
"Akira-kun, I assume Rias has already spoken to you about that matter?"
"That matter?" Akira raised an eyebrow.
"The matter of me breaking off our engagement," Sona said bluntly.
"..."
After a few seconds of silence, Akira slowly spoke.
"So, the news about breaking off the engagement was deliberately leaked to Rias by you?"
"That's right, it was deliberate," Sona nodded calmly.
"I know Rias's personality."
"If I break off the engagement, she will definitely use this as the most time-efficient method to oppose her engagement to Riser."
"So, I predicted that after learning the news in advance, there was an eighty percent chance she would seek cooperation with you."
"Now, it seems my prediction was completely correct."
...
"As expected of Sona, accurately predicting Rias's actions."
Akira took a sip of tea and praised her.
He had wondered why Sona had visited the very next day.
It turned out Sona had been observing him and Rias all along.
[Sona is truly Sona, even using strategy to break off an engagement.]
[Before delivering the bad news of breaking off the engagement, she first helped me achieve something good.]
[This way, I wouldn't be too resistant to her breaking off the engagement.]
[How calculating~]
...
"I already knew about the engagement being broken off."
"But Sona, isn't this approach of yours a bit too cunning?"
Akira countered.
"Even if you hadn't leaked the news, Rias would have done the same after finding out about the broken engagement."
"In other words, the only cost to you was leaking the news in advance."
"Truly calculating~ Are you trying to gain every advantage?"
Hearing this, Sona's gaze lowered slightly.
"So... Akira-kun, are you unwilling to dissolve the engagement?"
She had hoped that Akira would agree to dissolve it after receiving compensation.
But now, it seemed she would have to put in more effort.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to dissolve it, but the price isn't enough."
"Sona, you know very well that I'm not like you. I'm poor and easily swayed by money."
"As long as you offer a price that satisfies me, I can agree to any condition. An engagement is just an engagement—breaking it off is fine."
Akira wasn't in a hurry from the start.
Because no matter what Sona did, as long as he remained unmoved and didn't give her any leverage, he held absolute initiative.
...
Sona sighed helplessly.
It seemed she couldn't avoid being taken advantage of by Akira.
Sona took a deep breath and got straight to the point.
"Fine, tell me, what do you want?"
"I want..."
"Three drops of Phoenix Tears."
"One drop delays the engagement by a year. Give me three drops at once, and I'll agree to dissolve the engagement immediately."
"Impossible!"
The negotiation instantly fell apart due to Akira's exorbitant demand.
"Sona, you're actually getting angry? That's rare."
Akira waved his hand, acting as if Sona was overreacting.
"I!"
Sona pursed her lips, hesitating to speak.
"Isn't it because Akira-kun proposed an unrealistic condition?"
"Three drops of Phoenix Tears? What are you thinking?"
Sona's expression showed slight anger as she sat back down.
"So, Sona, you think three drops of Phoenix Tears is too high a price?"
"Of course."
Sona remembered that her sister, Serafall, had given Akira one drop of Phoenix Tears as compensation after breaking off their engagement.
Her sister only needed one drop to break off the engagement.
Why did it become three drops for her?
Has inflation hit in the past three years!?
...
"Since we can't reach an agreement, let's follow the old demon tradition."
"Might makes right. The strong rule, and the weak obey."
"Best of three. If you win, I'll agree to dissolve the engagement immediately."
"If I win, you'll marry me on the spot, wearing a wedding dress and offering your body and soul to me that very night." Akira threw out a hook.
...
"Fine, if that's what Akira-kun wants, let's compete!"
Sona ignored the latter part of Akira's statement.
Because, in her eyes, Akira was just trying to save face.
Lose?
Whether it was a battle of wits, strategy, personal strength, or team strength, she didn't think there was any chance of her losing!
With a best-of-three, even if she lost one round, she could still guarantee her victory!
After Sona agreed, Akira quickly heard the system's notification.
[Ding!~]
[Congratulations, host, for triggering a Villain Check-in!]

[Ding!~]
[Congratulations, host, for triggering a Villain Check-in!]

Hearing the system's notifications, Akira smiled slightly.
Perfect.
He wanted to test whether his trace of succubus bloodline would work on a high-class demon.
