"She's the administrator of this area. She rushed over because she sensed the Stray Devil from earlier."
Ignoring the surprised, helpless, hostile, or resentful gazes of Nanamiya Yasuko and the others, Hiro introduced her calmly.
The surprised and helpless gazes of the two elders were one thing, but why was Suguha, the little girl, looking at her with hostility?
And Asia, weren't you supposed to be the guide? Did you misunderstand your role?
However, inwardly, he was silently Looking the reactions of the women.
"Hello, my name is Lavinia Reni. I am the administrator of this area. It was our mistake that we didn't detect that Stray Devil in time, causing you unpleasant memories. I am truly sorry."
After speaking earnestly, Lavinia bowed deeply towards Nanamiya Yasuko and the others with an apologetic expression, showing no concern for her "administrator" status.
However, this action had a slightly greater impact on a certain girl.
Ugh...
I can't compare at all...
Her eyes fixed on Lavinia's exceptionally prominent area, Asia lowered her head, her gaze unobstructed to the ground beneath her feet, and an urge to burst into tears welled up within her.
"Lavinia... Miss? Please, get up, get up." Nanamiya Yasuko, also a large-breasted blonde, looked slightly surprised and quickly stepped forward to help Lavinia up.
"We're all fine, aren't we? If everyone is okay, nothing else matters. Miss Lavinia, as the administrator, just needs to be more careful next time. There's no need to apologize to us."
For Nanamiya Yasuko, the identity of a "administrator" who managed devils and Stray Devils was completely foreign.
She simply thought of it as a government official like a county magistrate or a city mayor.
Seeing a government official bowing to apologize to ordinary people like themselves, how could Nanamiya Yasuko, a simple woman who hadn't seen much of the world, remain calm?
"That's right, Miss Lavinia, you're too polite."
Kirigaya Midori on the side also expressed her agreement.
Helped to her feet, Lavinia looked at Hiro to her left and nodded almost imperceptibly.
Giving the golden-haired beauty an OK sign, Hiro turned around and chased after the "Fourth-Tier" individual on the system map, who was already almost out of range.
And as he disappeared, Nanamiya Yasuko, Kirigaya Suguha, and Kirigaya Midori didn't notice anything.
The only one who knew-Asia-chose to remain silent because she had noticed Hiro's communication with Lavinia...
The Seventh-Tier one was Vali's stepsister, not some mastermind.
Then this Fourth-Tier guy must be the "master" the Stray Devil mentioned.
Staring at the "Fourth-Tier luck" on the system map that he was rapidly closing in on, Hiro thought to himself.
Earlier, because he didn't know the mastermind's location and wasn't sure about the range of "The World's" time stop, Hiro hadn't used it against the Stray Devil, worried about being discovered by this guy, which would make him wary or even directly run away.
Now it seemed that the guy either had confidence in his own strength or didn't expect to be discovered.
With Hiro's full-speed travel, the distance of over two thousand meters was covered in just over a minute.
He could already see the male in the white robe not far away.
Glancing at the empty environment around him, he had no other concerns and called out to the devil in an unfriendly tone:
"Hey, you devil in front!"
"Hmm?" Probably not expecting to be discovered, the devil's expression was very surprised when he turned around.
"Sir, are you calling me?"
And the moment he saw the person's face, Hiro immediately understood the cause and effect of this series of events:
So that's how it is.
Seeing Asia with us, you were too embarrassed to act directly, so you wanted to use the Stray Devil to kill us irrelevant people, and then play the hero?
Too bad your plan was completely shattered by me, the spoiler.
"Diadora Astaroth, so it was you."
Looking at the somewhat surprised??? not far away, Hiro's face suddenly darkened.
"You're really unscrupulous in order to get Asia."
"Hmm? Sir, you must have the wrong person. Who is Asia? I don't know anyone by that name."
A slightly puzzled expression appeared on Diadora's face, seemingly wanting to bluff his way out of it.
His words were even polite, making it impossible to imagine his true nature.
"I have some urgent business, so I won't chat with you."
Giving Hiro a slight nod, Diadora maintained a faint smile and turned to leave.
Heh heh...Staring at Diadora's seemingly unguarded back, Hiro sneered coldly in his heart.
Can you, the next head of the Astaroth family, be immune to the world's time stop?
Holding the Eight-Bladed Sword, he pulled his right hand to the side, adopting a posture similar to an embrace.
Then, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, as if in mockery.
An invisible golden figure silently appeared behind him.
"The--World!"
An intangible and formless wave spread out, encompassing Diadora, who was a dozen meters away, in just an instant.
After that, this intangible wave not only didn't recede but instead flew towards a more distant location...
Time was temporarily only five seconds.
The range hadn't been specifically tested yet, but for now, it was at least a thousand-meter radius.
Glancing at the birds frozen in the sky, Hiro quickly walked to Diadora's side, the Eight-Bladed Sword slicing across Diadora's neck.
Due to time being stopped, Diadora not only didn't notice anything, but not even a trace of blood spilled from the wound on his neck.
And at this moment, only three seconds had passed since the five-second limit.
There were still two seconds...
Does time stop even delay the system's judgment?
Such a thought flashed through Hiro's mind.
He waited another three seconds before the effect of the time stop completely vanished.
Puchi~
The stopped world resumed its flow, and a handsome head with??? slowly slid off.
As it fell, the smiling expression on Diadora's face even gradually changed into a look of confusion...
