Chapter 238: Girls Talk
In the DXD world.
The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over Kuoh Academy as Rias and Sona stood together in the Occult Research Club room. The atmosphere was relaxed, a rare moment of peace amidst their otherwise hectic lives. Beside Rias was Akeno, and beside Sona was Tsubaki, her faithful vice president. Despite the casual setting, the room was alive with a unique energy—a mix of longing, admiration, and bashful excitement.
"I miss him already," Rias confessed with a wistful smile, her crimson locks catching the light as she leaned against the desk.
"Yeah, me too," Akeno chimed in, her serene demeanor softening further as her violet eyes glimmered with a fondness unmistakably directed at Alexander.
Tsubaki, who was quietly sipping tea nearby, tried to keep her composure. Unlike the others, she wasn't part of Alexander's growing harem, but the depth of their feelings for him was clear. She silently envied their confidence in expressing such emotions.
Akeno tilted her head slightly, a teasing smile playing on her lips. "I think Issey and Asia also miss him. He has such a way of leaving a mark on all of us, doesn't he?"
Rias chuckled. "He does have that talent, doesn't he? Even when he's not around, he somehow manages to stay at the center of everything."
Sona adjusted her glasses, her cheeks faintly pink as she interjected. "He's not just at the center of everything here. Nazarick is... it's beyond anything we could have imagined. Its vastness, its structure, and its people... everything about it reflects him."
Akeno gave a dreamy sigh, her voice dropping into a sultry tone that made Tsubaki choke on her tea. "Oh, Nazarick is marvelous, no doubt. But what amazes me most is Alexander himself—how effortlessly he commands it all, like a true king. That level of power and charisma is... intoxicating and sexy. I can already feel his hot gaze from here."
