High School DxD: Lustful Ascension

Chapter 31: Chapter 32: Investigation



After Shinra Tsubaki's explanation, Tetsuya Hakata recalled something from a while back.

"Tsubaki-senpai, it really wasn't me."

Tetsuya Hakata said, "When the rumors first started, someone approached me to write a program."

A cold light flashed in Qingqiu's eyes, "What kind of program?"

"Just a script with functions for IP proxy, automatic account creation, automatic replies, and automatic posting."

Tetsuya Hakata confessed everything honestly.

He never expected that his prized network skills would be used by others and cause him such trouble.

"Do you know who contacted you?"

Tetsuya Hakata shook his head, "I don't know. They contacted me through email."

"Just one email, and you agreed to write a program?"

"No, they paid me an upfront fee. After I sent the program, they paid the rest."

"What's wrong?" Qing Qiu threatened, "Even now, you're still thinking of hiding something?"

Hakata Tetsuya gritted his teeth and decided to go all out.

After all, he had already exposed almost everything before.

"I can provide transaction records and email correspondence with that person, and I can even help you investigate."

Hakata Tetsuya said in a deep voice, "But I have one condition."

"Let's hear it."

"Those things I mentioned earlier, just pretend you didn't hear them."

Qing Qiu, without showing any emotion, quietly glanced at Himejima Akeno and Shinra Tsubaki.

He wasn't interested in punishing evil and promoting good, as no one helped him when he was troubled by the victim's template.

The three exchanged glances, and Shinra Tsubaki said, "Since we know, the student council can't just ignore it."

Hakata Tetsuya closed his mouth, looking displeased.

"However, I can guarantee that what you've done won't get out."

Hakata Tetsuya's expression improved a bit, "Will I be expelled?"

Shinra Tsubaki glanced at him, "Since you're asking, I suppose what you've done is quite serious."

Hakata Tetsuya grimaced, "Vice President, I was just stealing some private photos online and selling them, it's not that serious, right?"

"What about drugging and stealing underwear?"

Hakata Tetsuya hesitated before finally confessing the truth.

The girl he drugged and stole underwear from was the same person.

She was an ordinary girl whom Hakata Tetsuya had a crush on, but she didn't return his feelings.

After failing to win her over, he harbored ill intentions and used drugs to knock her out, proceeding with a series of indescribable actions.

Afterward, he secretly took her underwear...

Tetsuya Hakata committed his acts in secret, using extraordinary powers, and the girl still doesn't know who violated her.

Both Shinra Tsubaki and Himejima Akeno looked at Tetsuya Hakata with disdain, nearly unable to restrain themselves from acting. As women, they deeply detested such actions.

Not only did they hate it, but Qingqiu also despised it. He wondered if the girl had someone she liked, because if she did, this situation would fit the typical NTR (netorare) scenario. And the boy she liked would be the victim...

Qingqiu specifically asked for the girl's name. After confirming that she wasn't a character he remembered or someone he knew, he refrained from the idea of castrating Tetsuya Hakata.

"Scum."

Qingqiu spat and said, "We'll deal with this later. We'll find the victim and decide based on her wishes."

"For now, hand over the transaction records and email logs you mentioned, or this matter will be all over Kuoh Academy by tomorrow."

Tetsuya Hakata wanted to bargain, but Himejima Akeno's expression turned icy, and a golden lightning bolt flickered in her palm.

"Do you want to test it?"

Feeling Himejima Akeno's undisguised killing intent, Tetsuya Hakata shivered all over and hurriedly provided his transaction and email account details, fearing a strike from the golden lightning if he hesitated.

After some maneuvering, Qingqiu successfully obtained the suspected mastermind's email and payment account information.

"Tsubaki-senpai, can we identify the real person behind these accounts?"

"We should be able to," Shinra Tsubaki thought for a moment and said, "The incident happened suddenly, so the person wouldn't have had the time or ability to create two fake accounts."

"Even if they're fake, I can help you find that person," Tetsuya Hakata volunteered, hoping to reduce his punishment by doing so.

Qingqiu glanced at him sideways but didn't respond.

Regardless of whether Tetsuya Hakata was useful, given his actions, he had no chance of staying at Kuoh Academy.

"I'm taking him away. Once we confirm the account holder's identity tomorrow, we'll proceed with the next steps."

"I'll go with you. I need to get some treatment at the infirmary."

Qingqiu left with Shinra Tsubaki.

Besides needing to visit the infirmary, he also wanted to spend more time deepening their relationship, aiming to fully acquire the Mirror Reflection talent and intermediate demon bloodline soon.

On the way, Qingqiu stroked his chin in thought.

There were two other suspects on the list. If the account turned out to belong to one of them, the target would be clear.

But if it wasn't someone on the list...

He hoped that wouldn't be the case, as it would complicate matters further.

After a quick treatment at the infirmary, Qingqiu returned to the Occult Research Club.

Through his battle with Tetsuya Hakata, he realized his strength wasn't as high as he had imagined.

Having gotten used to bullying delinquents, he had developed a misconception.

Forget about dealing with the senior yellow-haired monster; even against someone of the same grade, he nearly failed.

Aside from acquiring talents and enhancing magic, he needed to improve his practical combat skills and experience.

If Qingqiu had been more skillful or experienced today, Tetsuya Hakata wouldn't have had the chance to use his second transformation.

Entering the activity room, Qingqiu immediately noticed a white-haired loli.

Having spent so much time around buxom, long-legged women like Rias and Himejima, it was hard not to notice the plain, expressionless loli.

"Uesugi, you're just in time." Rias's eyes lit up. "I was about to send Akeno to the infirmary to find you."

"What do you need me for?"

"To check on you, of course."

Rias pulled Qingqiu into her embrace. "You're now considered my prospective servant, so as your master, I can't just ignore you."

Feeling the softness against his cheek, Qingqiu decided not to struggle.

If this was the treatment he received without being her servant, he figured sleeping together wouldn't be an issue if he actually became one.

Qingqiu vaguely remembered this being a unique aspect of the Gremory family, as their affectionate nature led them to dearly love their servants.

Rias's brother, the current Demon King Lucifer, had his wife as his first servant, his Queen, Grayfia.

Qingqiu firmed his resolve, enjoying... no, working hard for quite a while before freeing himself from Rias's embrace.

Continuing further, Qingqiu feared he might agree to become Rias's servant in a moment of weakness.
