Irina's favorability rating is also one of them.
Rias already knew where Shiraha had obtained the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets, but she didn't care.
It could even be said that the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets were basically like toys in Bai Yu's hands.
If he really gets serious, let alone the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet, even if the real Crimson Dragon Emperor himself came, he might not be able to withstand a single blow from him.
"What do you mean?"
Zhi Qu Cang looked puzzled. What nonsense was Bai Tianyu talking about?
Kiba Yuto, standing to the side, also looked completely bewildered.
"Don't worry, if they're planning to negotiate with Rias, then let them come."
"What is there to fear in a church where even the God of the Bible is dead?"
Shiraha waved his hand dismissively, kissed Rias, and then left the club with Shinra Tsubaki and Himejima Akeno, who had just entered.
Watching Bai Yu's departing figure, Shichiko couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.
I wish she could be as carefree as Rias.
Unfortunately, she herself rejected such great fortune.
The consequences of not taking those who surpass you seriously.
These two boats arrived very quickly.
"Sona-chan, you heard it too, our man has made a decision."
"If the church wants to find us, let them come."
“Our Gremory family is not afraid of the Church.”
Especially the church after even the God of the Bible has fallen.
Apart from Michael and Gabriel, who maintain the operation of the heavens, there is nothing to fear.
"Alright, then I'll pass on the message to them."
With a complicated expression, Shichiko left the club.
Kiba Yuto followed behind with a gloomy expression, wondering whether he should go and take a look tomorrow.
Ultimately, he now has only one belief: to destroy all the holy swords in the world.
"Hello, the next head of the Gremory family."
“I am Genova of the church.”
"I am Irina Wisteria of the Church!"
Chapter 135: Arrogant and Overbearing
"I am Rias from the Gremory family. May I ask what brings you, as Holy Sword Wielders of the Church, to Kuoh Academy?"
Rias sat opposite the two of them, looking completely businesslike.
“We keep to ourselves and your church.”
"What business do you, as believers of God, have with the devil?"
Genova, cloaked in his robes, didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
"Thank you for your meeting. Now, let's get straight to the point."
"Apart from the one holy sword that went missing from the beginning, the remaining six holy swords are kept by the three factions of the church."
"But three of the holy swords were taken by the fallen angels."
Upon hearing this, Himejima Akeno and the others understood the general situation.
Just as Shiraha had said, they hadn't come here for them, and even Kiba Yuto hadn't paid any attention to them.
They came only to retrieve the Holy Sword, fearing that the demons on Rias's side would interfere and cause the plan to fail.
That's why we're here to negotiate.
"They've taken it!"
Rias has also thought it through.
No wonder then.
Kuoh Academy is, after all, the territory of the Gremory family, who have always been the family of the devil Lucifer.
They can influence the situation of the demons. Fallen angels have always been on good terms with the demons, and if they were to interfere, it would cause the church to be attacked from both sides.
Therefore, necessary warnings are essential.
Not to mention that the Holy Sword deals the most damage to demons.
Genova continued.
"What we possess are the remaining two holy swords, the [Destruction Holy Sword] Excalib Destrction."
"And this one I possess, the [Mimetic Holy Sword] calib mic!"
The two of them showed off their strength.
Rias asked the question knowing the answer already.
"So, what are we here for?"
Genova spoke coldly.
"This incident was originally a problem between us and the fallen angels."
"It would be troublesome if a demon unrelated to this city got involved."
This statement was clearly not made by Genova; it was very likely said by a high-ranking member of the church.
"You're really not being polite at all!"
Rias narrowed her eyes, her displeasure with the church evident.
"Are you suggesting we'll collaborate with the fallen angels to seize the Holy Sword?"
Genova retorted sharply.
"Even for demons, the Holy Sword is something you should fear!"
"Isn't this in line with the interests of the fallen angels?"
The enemy of the enemy is the friend.
This is no joke.
Demons and fallen angels once fought against the heavens together, so the church, as a subordinate organization of the heavens, naturally had to be cautious.
That's a holy sword, not some common item.
A complete Holy Sword could rival the God-Slaying Gear.
Rias's expression changed upon seeing Genova's blunt attitude.
Do they really think the Gremory family is easy to bully?
Not to mention that her current strength has reached the sixth sense, let alone Genova coming.
Even if Michael and Gabriel came, she would dare to fight them.
With Bai Yu silently supporting her, she is the biggest beneficiary in the world of High School DxD.
Seemingly oblivious to Rias's displeasure, Genova continued to spout nonsense.
"If that's the case, we will destroy you."
"Even if you are the Demon King's sister."
Rias could no longer suppress the anger in her eyes, but then she remembered that Sazex behind her had always been committed to the peace of the three realms.
Her anger subsided considerably, and she replied very coldly.
"Since you've all put it that way, I'll just be frank."
"I will not join forces with the fallen angels, and I will not do anything to tarnish the Demon King's reputation, even if it means risking Gremory's name."
Upon receiving Rias's reply, Genova smiled slightly, her expression softening considerably, no longer displaying her previous aggressive demeanor.
It turns out that the little girl was simply repeating the words of the church's higher-ups.
No wonder they seem so arrogant and impolite.
As expected, Rias is no fool.
The church leadership was indeed worrying unnecessarily.
Do you really think demons and fallen angels are in cahoots?
They're worried about being attacked from behind; they're just being nosy.
"That's enough. I was just relaying headquarters' message."
"I don't think the Demon King's sister would be that stupid either." (Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
Rias was also thankful that she hadn't lost her temper earlier, otherwise it would have been bad if she had caused Shiraha to purge the church.
Although she had the support of the great god Bai Yu behind her, Rias didn't want to be a woman who only knew how to rely on him.
"Then we will not assist you, but will only watch from the sidelines. You should be well aware of this."
"Of course, you just need to promise not to get involved in anything that happens in this city."
"can."
Having received Rias's assurance, Genova and Irina Shidou exchanged a glance and stood up simultaneously.
"I'm sorry to have taken up your time, we should go now."
"If you're in such a hurry to leave, would you like to have a cup of tea before you go?"
Rias politely declined, but Genova refused.
"No, I can't be friendly with demons."
"Then, farewell."
The two turned around and prepared to leave Kuoh Academy.
But as Genova was leaving, he inadvertently caught sight of a figure and immediately stopped in his tracks.
He looked at the other person and asked in confusion.
Are you Asia Argento?
Indeed, the figure that Genova noticed was the little slave girl that Bai Yu had obtained from Linali.
Asia Argento.
She doesn't have a good reputation in the church, but Bai Yu says that the people in that church are just brain-dead.
This is because the "Smile of the Virgin Mary" can heal all living beings indiscriminately, whether they are demons, humans, or angels.
They stripped Asia of her sainthood and branded her a witch.
This is utter nonsense.
Isn't this a true saint?
Doctors should have a compassionate heart and should not abandon treatment because of the injured person's identity.
The fact that the "smile of the Virgin Mary" can heal all races equally proves that a true saint should treat all the wounded equally.
But because of this, the people in the church regarded her as a witch and drove her out of the church.
That's just plain stupid.
A bunch of idiots, and Genova, the Holy Sword Wielder, is also mentally unstable, brainwashed by those idiots in the church.
They are obsessed with loyalty to the church, but they are unaware of how many vile and despicable things the church has done.
"Yes, yes."

"I never expected to encounter a witch here!"
