"Yes." Linali responded respectfully.

Then she stood up and immediately turned around and walked out of the room to contact her former master and current Governor of the Fallen Angels - that old pervert Azazel.

"Bang!"

The door closed tightly automatically.

After watching Linali leave, Ito Cheng turned around and walked into the bathroom to start washing up every day.

A few minutes later, Ito Cheng, who changed his clothes and looked refreshed, walked out of the bathroom, put on his shoes, left the apartment, and moved to Kuoh Academy in the usual way.

More than ten minutes later, the bus stopped in front of the platform not far from Kuou Academy.

Ito Cheng and the students above got out of the car and moved towards the academy.

"Good morning, teacher."

"morning."

"Hello, Mr. Ito."

"good."

"Good morning, Mr. Ito."

"Good morning."

"..."

Along the way, the students' greetings kept ringing in his ears, and Ito Chengye kept responding like a good teacher who is close to the people.

In this state, Ito quickly entered the campus.

"At this speed, if you were doing engineering in the world of your previous life, you would definitely make money." Ito Shige turned to look at the gymnasium that was destroyed by Kirkbolt's light gun yesterday and couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, is there any trace of the ruins from before? One building is almost exactly the same as before. If you don’t look carefully, it’s hard to tell that it is a newly built gymnasium quietly located at its original location. In addition, the stadium has also been repaired and flattened.

On the ground of the playground, there is no trace left of the horrific battle that could have destroyed the town.

Then Ito Cheng withdrew his gaze and walked directly to the staff room to start his day's work as a teacher.

…

Leisurely, calm and calm, the day passed smoothly, and it was time to get out of school again.

As usual, Ito Cheng came to the office of the Supernatural Research Society.

"Here. This is the devil's chess piece you want." In the social office, Rias, who was sitting behind the desk, opened the drawer at hand, took out a rectangular black box, put it on the table, and pushed it to the table.

Side road.

"Oh?" Ito Cheng's eyes lit up, he walked to the desk with interest, lowered his head and looked over.

The box is a black iron box with a length of thirty centimeters and a width of less than twenty centimeters. It is about ten centimeters thick. The surface is engraved with complicated and strange patterns, which looks like a magic circle wrapping around the entire box.

"How to open it?" Ito Cheng looked up at Rias and asked.

"Did you see the heraldry-like pattern on the box? Press your hand on it and infuse magic power, and the box will open." Rias pointed to a group of patterns outlined by several pattern lines in the center of the front of the box.

The circle-like square pattern said.

Ito Cheng nodded, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the surface of the box, injecting the energy in his body into it.

In an instant, a blood-red light bloomed from the box, illuminating the entire social office in crimson.

"Click!"

Then, there was a soft sound, and a slender seam that could be seen by the naked eye appeared on the box that was originally tightly connected and seemed to be formed in one piece, splitting the box into two halves horizontally.

"Chi~"

Then a jet of black smoke spurted out from the seams on the box, making the box look dangerous, like an ancient machine box that contained treasures.

"This is considered a prank by the producer." Seeing Ito Cheng looking at her, Rias explained.

"Well, the demons in this world are indeed full of bad taste." Ito Cheng curled his lips and thought to himself.

Naturally, it would be difficult for him to say this to his face, as it would make Rias furious. Although he was not afraid of her being furious...

After the smoke dissipated, Ito Cheng opened the box.

In an instant, eight 'soldiers' lying in two rows side by side in the box came into Ito Cheng's eyes. Under the light of the social office, they reflected a faint black light, indicating that

They are not ordinary chess pieces.

Ito Cheng reached out and took out a 'soldier' ​​chess piece from the square where the chess pieces were placed. He held it in front of him.

The so-called soldier chess looks a bit like checkers that have been enlarged several times, except that the bottom has a certain thickness, and there is an extra ring under the upper ball. It looks very layered.

Ito Cheng turned the chess piece over and looked at the flat name at the bottom of the chess piece.

As expected, a scarlet complex magic circle appeared in Ito Cheng's eyes.

However, Ito Cheng knew that this magic circle should not be the whole story. There must be other hidden existences, otherwise the method of creating this demon chess piece would be too simple.

Ito Cheng took his eyes away from the 'Soldier' ​​chess piece and returned to the box.

He saw a horse-head-shaped chess piece coming into view under the grid of the 'soldier' ​​chess piece that had been taken out.

It's 'knight' chess.

From these signs, it is easy to see that the remaining ‘Chariot’ chess, ‘Monk’ chess, ‘King’ chess and ‘Queen’ chess are all at the bottom of the box, covered by the ‘Soldier’ chess on the upper level.

Seeing this, Ito Cheng nodded, put the 'Soldier' ​​chess piece in his hand back into the box, and closed the lid.

It's amazing that the moment the lid is closed, the thread disappears from the box again, making the entire box look seamless and unlike any human work.

"Thank you." Ito Cheng turned over his hand and put away the demon chess piece, looked at Rias and said with a smile.

"You're welcome." Rias smiled.

"How is the situation over there?" Rias then asked.

"The message has been sent out, just waiting for Azazel's response." Ito Cheng replied.

"You should try to be more careful. After all, the other party is not a simple character." Rias said softly.

"Well, I know." Ito Cheng smiled.

"By the way, where are the kittens and the others?" Ito Cheng looked around the room and asked curiously.

"I'm looking after Kuroka. Akeno is there too," Rias replied.

"Speaking of which, what's going on with Koneko and Kuroka?" Ito Shige asked pretending to be confused.

"Hey..." Rias sighed and softly told the story of the Tacheng kitten.

As Ito Cheng learned through other channels, the Tacheng kitten comes from the cat demon clan, and its body is a legendary species in the cat demon clan - the cat mandrill. It contains power that is not inferior to that of dragons.

Sister Heige depended on each other, making a living in the underworld, avoiding the pursuit of various other monsters who coveted or were jealous of them, until one day they met their first master, a certain demon noble, and became that demon's

Dependents.

It is unknown what kind of power of Devil's Chess triggered the Nekomata bloodline in Kuroka's body. After becoming a dependent, Kuroka's power increased to a frightening level in the shortest time, and greatly surpassed her master.

You must know that the devil's magic power has strong negative attributes. If it is not controlled well, it is easy for people to get lost. Therefore, under the temptation of power, Heige, who became a slave of power, killed her and her husband with his own hands one night.

The kitten's owner became a lost demon.

As for what happened next, it's simple. The kitten who saw Heige killing its owner was frightened and was afraid of Heige. When Heige wanted to escape, he struggled violently and ran out of the demon's courtyard.

He was closely pursued by the noble subordinates who later discovered the situation, until he was met by Sajax who happened to be passing by nearby, and was taken back to the Gremory house and handed over to the care of Rias, who was only a few years older than the kitten.

Only then did the dependents finally escape from hell.

Tacheng Heige disappeared under the pursuit of the noble family, until he was captured this time due to the battle between Er Tianlong...

"I have to say, Rias, the past of each of your family members is so 'strange'." Ito Cheng sighed.

"Humph." Rias hummed dissatisfied.

"Okay, I said something wrong, and I apologize." Ito Cheng said in a posture of surrender.

"Shall we go over and have a look too?" Ito Cheng then looked at Rias and suggested.

"Okay." Rias thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Then he stood up from his seat, led Ito Cheng out of the social office, and walked to another room in the old school building.

After a while, the two stopped in front of a room door.

Rias reached out and grasped the door handle, twisting it slightly.

"Click!"

The door opened.

"...Hey, Baiyin, would you like to take your sister out for a walk?" The moment the door opened, a pitiful female voice came from the room.

It was the voice of Tashiro Kuroka. As for the white voice in her mouth, it was calling Kitten, because the name Kitten was not her real name, but was given by Rias after she became Rias's dependent.

The door opened, revealing the scene inside.

Tashiro Kuroka, who was still wearing the same black kimono as when he was captured, stood behind Koneko, put his hands on her shoulders, and rubbed his face against Koneko's cheek, looking cute and coquettish.

The kitten sat on the side with an expressionless face, silently eating the lamb snack in his hand.

Akeno, a semi-outsider, stood aside with a smile, watching Tacheng Heige's mischief.

"President, Cheng, you are here." Hearing the door knock, Akeno turned to look at the door and greeted.

"Meow? It's Sekiryuutei, are you here to see me?" Tacheng Heige, who also heard the sound of the door, kept his posture of clinging to the kitten and turned to look at the door, his expression full of temptation.

said in a tired voice.

"It seems you had a lot of fun." Ito Cheng said with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course, it's rare to find a white voice who can say meow." As he said that, Heige closed his eyes again and rubbed his cheek with the kitten fiercely. Then, Tacheng Heige opened his eyes and spoke with a voice full of charm.

He looked at Ito Cheng with an expression on his face and said seductively, "By the way, in return for helping me find Shirone, let me thank you with my own body."
