Chapter 322 - Koneko: Your smell!!!
After Mahiro agreed, Michael smiled. "We've modified Ascalon," he said.
"Touch it, and it will integrate into your body, functioning like a Sacred Gear."
The Sword hovered silently, awaiting Mahiro's claim.
'System, will accepting Ascalon affect me?'
[No. Ascalon has been adjusted to align with your dragon attributes, allowing full use of its dragon-slaying and holy properties without conflict.]
Satisfied, Mahiro noted the significance.
Devils typically suffered from light-based attacks, and his dragon properties could clash with Ascalon's nature.
Suppression was possible, but compatibility ensured optimal performance in battle, where small factors could tip the scales.
Mahiro grasped Ascalon.
A flash of light enveloped it, and the ornate holy sword merged into his body.

Glancing at the system's description, Mahiro appreciated Micheal's generous gift.
In the anime, Issei used Ascalon crudely, but Mahiro could unleash its full potential.
"My task is complete. I'll take my leave," Michael said, rising.
"Wait, Lord Michael," Mahiro interjected.
"One more thing."
"Speak freely. If it's within my power, I'll assist," Michael replied, his tone welcoming.
"It's about Asia, Xenovia, and Irina," Mahiro began.
"They were exiled from the Church after learning of God's death. Rias took them in, reincarnating them as devils."
"Despite this, they remain devout, praying daily as they did before," Mahiro continued, a wry smile forming.
"You know what happens when devils pray to Heaven."
Michael nodded.
Divine punishment struck devils who prayed, though simple prayers caused only discomfort.
For daily devotees like church trio, this was a persistent issue.
"That's on us," Michael admitted, apologetic.
"To maintain the system left by the Biblical God, we sacrificed their place in it. We regret this."
"I'll adjust the system upon my return, ensuring Asia and the others can pray without harm," he promised.
"Thank you," Mahiro said sincerely.
Michael nodded, vanishing in a shimmer of light.
"Mahiro-kun, you're incredible," Akeno said, her playful smile returning.
"Xenovia and Irina are definitely smitten now."
"I just couldn't stand seeing them wince with headaches every time they prayed," Mahiro replied, chuckling.
This wasn't about gaining favor—it was genuine compassion.
"Hmph," Akeno huffed, her smile teasing.
"It's Rias who'll have the headache as the main wife."
"Mahiro-kun, it's still early. Want to go again?" she purred, crawling closer.
"Nah," Mahiro declined, shaking his head.
Though tempted, he'd been gone all day, and Rias might come looking.
A confrontation would be messy.
"Fine, we'll save it for next time."
"Rias hasn't seen you all day. She's probably antsy. Time to head back."
Mahiro sighed, sensing trouble brewing.
Another round might've been less risky.
Ultimately, he and Akeno skipped a repeat, using teleportation magic to return home.
It was evening, and the household was bustling with dinner preparations.
"Back already?" Rias glanced between Mahiro and Akeno before softening her tone.
"Perfect timing. Join us for dinner."
"I'll help," Asia offered eagerly.
"No, Asia, just me and Akeno," Rias said with a smile, declining her.
"You relax and watch TV."
"Okay," Asia relented, not pressing further.
"Great, we're starving." Akeno blinked playfully.
The door closed, followed by the sound of chopping—presumably vegetables.
Koneko sat on the sofa, munching snacks and watching TV, with the church trio engrossed nearby.
Mahiro slid onto the couch beside Koneko, casually grabbing a snack.
Koneko frowned, leaning in to sniff him. Her expressionless face soured slightly.
"You smell."
"Of what?" Mahiro asked, startled.
"Of Akeno-senpai."
