[261] You’re Mine!
As Serafall clung tightly to Sona, unwilling to let go, Rias and Sirzechs had already arrived.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
The sound of knocking made August turn his head.
"Please come in."
Breaking free from Serafall's embrace, Sona adjusted her clothes, while Serafall, upon seeing someone, also refrained from embarrassing her sister and composed herself.
Then the door swung open, and Sirzechs and Rias, with Grayfia following behind, walked in.
"Serafall, good morning."
"Sirzechs? Sona-chan was—"
Before the sentence could finish, Sona covered Serafall's mouth with her hand and dragged her to the back.
The scene stunned the trio who had just entered. My goodness, when did Sona become like this?
Sirzechs and Rias's gaze subconsciously fell on August. If anyone could easily influence Sona, it was him. August felt a bit speechless under their scrutiny. What are they staring at him for?
However, considering what had just happened in front of the teaching building and the current situation, something must be going on here, right now, in these few minutes.
But this was their private matter. Even if he was Satan Lucifer, it wouldn't be appropriate to intrude.
Moreover, Sirzechs also felt that perhaps this wasn't the right time for their visit.
"August, do you have some free time?"
"I don't have any plans. What's up?"
"Rias wants to buy some things. Grayfia and I are not very convenient, so we'd like to ask for your help."
"Sure, it's no trouble."
"That would be great."
Afterward, Sirzechs gave Rias a meaningful look, implying that he had paved the way, and the rest was up to her.
Rias felt a bit puzzled by the sudden invitation to go shopping together. What were they going to buy?
Meanwhile, Sona, being perceptive, caught a glimpse of the hint and glanced deeply at Sirzechs. She also figured out that this Satan Lucifer was trying to create an opportunity for her sister.
But she had no intention of stopping him because she knew, from the moment she chose August, that she could never monopolize this man.
Now that she had received the affection that no one else had, doing anything extra would only displease August.
"I want to buy a few pieces of clothing."
"Sure thing."
As her fiancée, August naturally wouldn't refuse, even if it was just shopping.
Rias looked back at Sirzechs, but he had fallen silent at this point. She then glanced at Grayfia, only to find her not looking at her anymore.
"Sona, can you help me request a leave of absence, and also for Rias?"
"Is there any difference for you whether you take leave or not?"
When had August ever attended classes? He was always on leave or skipping classes.
After nodding at Sona and the others, August grabbed Rias's hand, and they left directly.
Everyone present understood Sirzechs's purpose for coming here without it needing to be explicitly stated.
Rias herself was puzzled. How did she suddenly get dragged away like this? And now, of all times?
"Sorry, Sona."
As August and Rias left, Sirzechs apologized to Sona.
"It's okay. Rias is August's fiancée after all. If she's always with me, it wouldn't be right to neglect Rias."
Retreating to advance, it seemed magnanimous, but it revealed one thing: Sona was more favored by August than her sister.
Both the older and younger devils were not to be underestimated.
Sirzechs sighed softly. Sona was completely different from her sister. While Serafall was powerful, she could be childish at times and easily fooled.
But with Sona, everything was as clear as a mirror.
On the other side, August and Rias left the Student Council room. Rias was at a loss for words the whole time.
"Alright, we're out now. No need to keep your head down."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Sirzechs's intention. Everyone knows."
"Why are you still-"
"My woman. It's only natural for me to accompany you on a shopping trip."
"Oh."
The arrogance she displayed in front of Sirzechs disappeared when she was with August. In their relationship, August always took the lead.
"I know. I've been drawn to Sona lately, making you feel dissatisfied."
"I'm not dissatisfied."
"With your temper, how could you not be?"
"What's wrong with my temper?"
"As a young lady who needs the world to revolve around her, and with her fiancé seeing other women every day, you must have some thoughts."
"If you know that, then why do you still-"
"Why do I still do this, and why don't I go to you and comfort you?"
Rias didn't continue speaking, silently acknowledging August's words.
"I thought that this would ignite your competitive spirit and make you come to me willingly. Unfortunately, I miscalculated."
"I would never come to you willingly."
"It's possible. Remember our first meeting? Your behavior indicated that you were trying to entice me with your own body. So, my actions this time were quite reasonable."
Rias didn't know how to respond to that.
During that time, due to the impending engagement, she truly felt desperate. She even considered protesting by offering her body to another man if it meant breaking the engagement.
"I had no choice back then."
"Exactly. So, since you initially thought of using your greatest weapon to entice me, I naturally expected you to do so. Unfortunately, you didn't."
"So, you've been waiting for me to come to you?"
"Correct. Every night, I've been waiting for you to come knocking on my door."
"You..."
In that moment, Rias felt both angry and slightly excited.
She couldn't quite pinpoint why, ultimately attributing it to her feelings for August.
"Since we're going shopping, let's take care of everything else as well."
"Huh?"
"Shopping, watching a movie, candlelit dinner, strolling, and... booking a hotel."
August laid out a full-service plan, leaving Rias speechless, especially at the last part. Why book a hotel?
"I have to go home tonight. My brother and sister-in-law are visiting."
"Stop with the excuses. Your brother just handed you over to me. Today, you're mine."
August didn't give Rias a chance to refuse. He grabbed her hand and headed to the mall.
First, they would buy clothes, especially ones that men liked. Then, they would watch a movie that appealed to men, followed by a romantic candlelit dinner. As for strolling, it was optional. Finally, they would reach their ultimate destination.
