Chapter 170: Want to Have a Child?
🕑 Added 2025-04-02 10:16:43 +0000 UTCSeeing that everyone was now looking at her, Rias paused briefly before continuing her explanation.
“As for the fallen angels, the fallen angel governor Azazel sent the truth to both the Angle and Devil factions. The theft of Excalibur fragments was entirely Kokabiel’s unilateral decision. The other higher up were unaware of this matter. As a result, they have charged him with attempting to destroy the three-faction balance and starting a war, sentencing him to permanent freezing in the 'lower layers of hell.'”
“Permanent freezing sentence?”
Hearing this, the women all frowned. After all, they had seen Kokabiel get killed in one strike by Blake, with not even dust remaining.
“Well, this is just the result of Azazel wanting to give the outside world an explanation.”
Looking at her family, who appeared puzzled, Rias spoke in a deep voice, her face showing clear displeasure. She obviously had strong feelings of discontent about Azazel’s so-called explanation.
Upon hearing this, everyone displayed displeasure. Even Lia and Akeno’s expressions turned cold, causing the temperature around them to drop slightly.
“Azazel, I’ve got an account to settle with him too.”
Blake narrowed his eyes in contemplation. He had not forgotten that this guy, Azazel, had somehow arranged for Raynare to monitor him.
“Also, recently, the representatives of the angel faction, the Devil faction, and Azazel will hold talks. It seems Azazel has something important to say. I’ve heard that he might apologize for Kokabiel’s incident at that time, though an apology from Azazel…”
Rias shrugged her shoulders with an expression of disbelief, clearly showing she did not trust the apology. It wasn’t surprising since everyone knew that Azazel, the fallen angel governor, was a person without principles. No one would easily believe what he said.
“Including Blake, we were all invited to attend. Since we were directly involved in the incident, we must give a detailed report.”
Then, Rias dropped a bombshell.
“No way!?”
After hearing this, except for Blake and Lia, the others were left stunned.
After all, it seemed unrealistic for them, mere servants, to attend such an important meeting.
“Well, not only us, but even Sona has been invited. Since we were direct victims of this incident, we have to give a thorough report.”
Seeing the puzzled expressions on their faces, Rias nodded and explained, which was a reasonable explanation that everyone could accept.
“Anyway, even though the upcoming talks are important, don’t worry too much. Blake and I will handle it.”
“Today is the weekend, everyone can relax. We only have work in the evening, so enjoy your day.”
Then, Rias clapped her hands and said softly.
And this caused the girls to relax. Indeed, with the head and Blake around, there was nothing more reassuring.
“Blake, Irina and I would like to ask you about swordsmanship.”
Just as the girls were about to go about their own activities, Xenovia suddenly spoke up, pulling the somewhat embarrassed Irina along with her, causing everyone to look over.
“Swordsmanship, huh? Sure.”
Upon hearing this, Blake paused for a moment, then smiled and agreed.
“By the way, if possible, could you help me have a child? I’ve thought about it, and as a woman, having a child seems like a good option. And with your powerful genes, I’m sure it would be a great idea.”
Then, as if remembering something, Xenovia spoke with an easy-going expression, as though the shocking thing she had just said didn’t matter at all.
“Ha!”
Not only Asia and Irina, but also Rias, Akeno, and Lia were all stunned, staring in shock at Xenovia. They never expected her to be this bold.
"Ara, ara, Xenovia is really bold," Akeno said with a smile, looking at Rias with a bit of schadenfreude.
"Xenovia,how can you actually ask something like that...!?" Irina, who had been pulled along, said in a daze.
Koneko just scanned between Xenovia and Blake with her golden eyes.
Asia was frozen, unable to react.
Only Kanna remained calm.
"Seems like I can't let my guard down... I thought only Lia and Akeno were competitors," Rias said with a headache. Her position was becoming more and more dangerous with so many new competitors...
On the other hand, Lia looked at Xenovia with an appreciative gaze. It was rare to see a girl who would speak so directly and take such bold actions.
"Let's forget about making a child. Let's go practice swordsmanship first," Blake said, trying to change the subject as the atmosphere became awkward. If this kept going, it would be a battlefield, and that was terrifying.
"Mm."
Upon hearing Blake's words, Xenovia nodded, showing an expectant expression, as if the explosive comment she just made had never happened.
...
In the following time, Lia was taken by Rias and Akeno to go shopping, familiarizing herself with the town, while also bonding with them.
As for Xenovia and Irina, they were being taught by Blake.
Blake did not teach them swordsmanship, but instead taught them the meaning represented by the [Knight] class—a symbol of speed and technique.
Of course, Blake also considered that both Xenovia’s previously used Holy Sword of Destruction and Durandal were highly destructive, pursuing a force-type destruction approach. So, he simply taught her how to control Durandal and used a sword spirit to calm Durandal's sword spirit.
As for Irina, her fighting style was similar to Kiba, more technique-based. So Blake only taught her how to improve her swordsmanship and use the Holy Sword of mimic more flexibly.
"Teaching someone to fish is better than just giving them fish." After spending a whole morning dealing with these issues, Blake allowed them to practice on their own.
Meanwhile, Blake leisurely took Koneko and Kanna out to the shopping street. More accurately, they went to an arcade to compete and buy some snacks for Kanna.
However, when the three of them arrived at the arcade, they encountered someone unexpected, which immediately made both Blake and Koneko lose interest in playing.
