Chapter 17

"Whether it's Akeno-senpai or Koneko, their magic power and fighting skills are much stronger than mine."

After a battle, Long Yi fully understood the gap between him and Tacheng Maomao.

The combat power they possess is much stronger than Long Yi.

This was obtained by them slowly collecting the price through contracts. If Long Yi wanted to reach their level, he would have to continue to sign contracts and collect the price.

"Haha, so this is the direction you will work hard in the future, Long Yi. The one who summoned you before, you must try your best to get it no matter what. If you have any difficulties, you can always ask us for help."

Rias has high expectations for Long Yi.

Because Long Yi broke the restriction that [one demon cannot play two chess pieces at the same time], which has never happened to any demon before.

The special nature of Long Yi deserves Rias's attention, and it can even be said that it deserves the attention of the entire demon clan.

Of course, before that, Rias had to keep it a secret and wait until Long Yi and them were strong enough before discussing the matter.

Otherwise, for the sake of the prosperity of the entire demon clan, those guys might do something outrageous...

After all, those outrageous actions have not happened before...

As if she had thought of something, Rias's eyes couldn't help but reveal complicated emotions, as if she had thought of something unhappy.

She couldn't help but murmur to herself:

"Long Yi, you have to become stronger quickly...so that you can help me."

I can feel the change in her mood.

Long Yi looked at Rias intently, guessing that she seemed to have something on her mind.

It's just that he didn't ask more questions now. If Rias didn't want to say anything, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to ask anything.

Rias would definitely tell him when she thought he could help her.

At that moment, he nodded gently:

"good."

Although he only responded briefly, Long Yi's calm and calm temperament was extremely obvious.

As if she could sense how extraordinary Long Yi was, Rias reached out and caressed Long Yi's cheek. Her complex expression calmed down, and a happy smile appeared on her face again:

"Well, I believe you will become powerful soon. If you are Long Yi, you will definitely be able to do it, because you are my most lovely servant."

As she said that, she actually came closer, held Long Yi's face in her hands, and kissed him gently on the forehead.

The warmth of his lips still remained on his forehead, and Long Yi's heart moved slightly;

His feelings for Rias are actually quite complicated.

Rias saved his life and became his master again, and she has always been very close to him, but Long Yi knew that this was just because the demon's outlook on life was different from that of humans.

Although he has been transformed into a demon now, he still thinks like a human most of the time, so he knows very well that Rias's feelings for him are just a kind of cherishment similar to that of a master for the treasures he owns.

Even if the two of them had slept together in the same bed, and even if she had just kissed him tenderly, this could never be said to mean that she had fallen in love with him.

This was somewhat unacceptable to Long Yi, who still had a human mind.

But what if you want Long Yi not to care about Rias?

It seems a little unlikely...

Who can control possessiveness?

Even if Long Yi could easily restrain his feelings, he still wanted to repay Rias's kindness. After all, it was a life-saving grace, and there was absolutely no reason to ignore it.

Phew...let this all come naturally.

After Rias kissed Long Yi, she smiled and said, "This is the magic I gave you to make you stronger. You have to work hard yourself. Let me give you my love first."

"It will not let you down."

Long Yi smiled lightly.

He now has a plan, and his top priority is to quickly resolve the difficulties faced by Mai Sakurajima, and then complete his first contract signing with her!

"Ah, right."

Rias suddenly thought of something, "Next weekend, it's time for the familiar forest to open, so Long Yi, you can have your own familiar soon!"

"real?"

Long Yi's eyes brightened slightly. He still had a great need for his familiars. The familiars could help him deal with too many chores!

"Of course it's true. With a familiar, you don't have to hand out leaflets yourself. You can also leave some simple tasks to the familiar."

Long Yi smiled and said casually:

"It's good. After having a familiar, I finally don't have to write my homework myself."

Rias: "...??"

Everyone: "..."

Co-author: Do you want to have a familiar just so you don’t have to do homework?

Please apologize to your familiar properly!

The three beautiful girls were slightly confused.

Sometimes I still don’t understand Long Yi’s brain circuit...

…

After riding home, it was already evening.

After Long Yi finished his exercise, he took a shower and went to rest early. He also promised Mai Sakurajima to attend the meeting again tomorrow.

He got up early the next day, and after briefly sorting out various chores at home, he went out to face the rising sun.

Because it was early morning on the weekend, there were many more pedestrians on the street. Long Yi rushed to the subway station, where he had agreed to meet with Mai Sakurajima.

Today he arrived a little early. After ten minutes or so, Mai Sakurajima appeared and walked towards the subway station from a distance.

She changed into casual clothes today, a shirt and a short skirt. The hem of the skirt no longer extended to the knees like yesterday, but only covered half of the thigh.

No one could see her along the way. Only Long Yi stared at her straight, indicating that he could still see Mai's cuteness.

"Well, it seems that you have fully considered my clothing suggestions."

Long Yi said seriously, staring at Mai up and down.

Perhaps because the temperature in the morning was still relatively low, she still wore black stockings, but it didn't matter. Black stockings are very good!

Mai Sakurajima didn't react to Long Yi's words, but said calmly:

"Did I say I would consider your suggestions? Obviously, I chose this because I like to wear it this way."

"Really? You can argue as you like. It looks very cute. Ah, I really want to take Mai home and frame it on the wall to collect it." Long Yi praised with shining eyes.

"I told you not to show off your poor acting skills in front of me." Mai didn't buy it.

"It's a sincere compliment." Long Yi returned to his normal behavior and smiled lightly.

"If it's a sincere compliment, I'll accept it."

Mai Sakurajima responded calmly.

...

24, it was Mai who took the initiative

Waiting for the subway to arrive, Long Yi and Mai Sakurajima saw the crowds of people inside.

Because it was the weekend, there were many people out playing, and it was normal for the subway to be crowded.

Seeing this, Long Yi took Mai Sakurajima's hand and used himself as a human shield to protect her from being pushed by others, and successfully entered the subway car.

He pointed to the corner with his eyes, and Mai Sakurajima quickly understood and stayed in the corner with her back against the car.

Long Yi stretched out his hand and directly supported Mai's ear in a wall-dong posture, just protecting Mai from being squeezed by pedestrians because she could not be observed.

For others who couldn't see Mai Sakurajima, Long Yi's actions were very natural.

But in Mai Sakurajima's opinion, the distance between the two was a little too close.

"It's only three stops away, please bear with it." Long Yi whispered. No one else in the subway car could hear it clearly, only Mai Sakurajima, who was very close to him, could hear it clearly.

They were too close, Mai Sakurajima could feel the boy's breath when he spoke, blowing on her neck and feeling itchy.

Even in the process of acting, she had never been so close to other boys, so she had to try her best to stay calm at this time.

She was Mai Sakurajima, so she would not panic because of such a small thing.

"I don't mind, but some people should not think too much."

She used words that forced herself to be calm to cover up her little embarrassment.

"... Think too much?"

After repeating a sentence to express his doubts, Long Yi suddenly lowered his head and looked at his body that was very close to Mai, and suddenly he understood.

The corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly, and he said faintly:

"I'm afraid my mind is a little more confused than you understand..."

"..."

Mai stared at Long Yi's eyes.

It can be confirmed that this is not his poor acting.

In other words, this is the truth.

"You should get off the bus."

Mai cast a look of disdain without saying a word.

"Jumping off the bus now will be the headline of the morning news."

Long Yi smiled faintly: "Besides, for a mature Mai, this kind of thing can be completely tolerated and understood."

"...Yes! I, I don't care about such a small thing as being fantasized about by a boy younger than me."

It seems that the provocation method is particularly useful for Mai Sakurajima...

In order to show that she doesn't care, Mai even puffed out her chest, and accidentally touched the chest of Long Yi who was very close to her and was banging her against the wall.

This strange contact made both of them stunned for a moment.

Mai's face suddenly showed a strange look, and then she turned her head away and dared not look at Long Yi.

"Mai, please, this is already a naked temptation."

Long Yi said with a smile, he lowered his head and lowered his voice, and this angle just happened to see Mai Sakurajima's neck that was already dyed red.

Apparently even Mai Sakurajima was a little overwhelmed by her bold behavior.

Fortunately, the subway also arrived at a station at this time. After several passengers got off the train, the people standing behind Long Yi also slightly left some empty space, and Long Yi also stepped back a little.

Just when he was sighing that the arrogant Mai was quite cute, Long Yi felt a hand reaching out from his waist and skillfully twisted the soft flesh there.

"... Mai?"

"This is the punishment for wantonly teasing people." Mai Sakurajima regained her composure and spoke softly in a calm tone.

"It was Mai who took the initiative."

"Really? I'm really sorry."

Although she said so, she didn't mean to let go.

Rather, she twisted it even harder, and seemed to be in high spirits, not planning to let go for the time being.

Just at this moment, Mai's cell phone rang.

At this moment, Long Yi had basically never seen anyone else who could see Sakurajima Mai. The ringing of the cell phone made his eyes condense, and he immediately guessed who the caller was.

Sakurajima Mai's expression changed obviously. She took out her phone from her pocket, glanced at the sender, and suddenly handed it to Long Yi, still looking a little nervous.

It was obvious that she wanted him to help her read it.

Long Yi was not polite. He took the phone and read the email. He found that it was indeed sent by Sakurajima Mai's mother, although the sender's name was marked as [Agent].
