"Shinomiya Kaguya, the Young Lady of the Shinomiya Conglomerate, Fiancée... Hikaru, this bastard is really something!"
Utaha gritted her teeth.
Any woman, even an ex-girlfriend, wouldn't be able to stay calm in the face of something like this. After all, it was a man she once loved; whether she still 'loves' him now, only she knows deep in her heart.
"Fortunately, I broke up with this bastard."
Utaha pretended to show a 'very angry' expression, but only she knew the sadness in her heart.
Eriri said nothing and didn't take the opportunity to mock her again. She knew about Hikaru's engagement, and that's why she buried these feelings deep in her heart.
After that, Eriri just quietly watched the Eternal Beauty List. Her instincts told her that there must be others involved with Hikaru.

"That little girl from the Isayama family is also that young man's ex-girlfriend?!"
Isayama Yomi might not be famous in the eyes of the general public, but her title as a Prodigy Child is very well-known among exorcists and Onmyōji.
Even some demons in the Underworld have heard her name.
She wields the heirloom sword Shishiō and appears valiant and heroic. She is even considered a worthy candidate to become the next generation of the Twelve Divine Generals. As for whether she will join the Onmyō Agency, that is a matter for the future.

At the Headquarters of the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasure Division.
"...Because of this man, you won't accept me, Yomi!"
Noriyuki's face looked ugly. He spoke in a low tone to the valiant Yomi.
The other members didn't know how to advise. Strictly speaking, Yomi was indeed in the wrong, as she was someone who was already engaged.
"You can think of it that way."
Yomi glanced at Noriyuki and said, "I suggest you better not provoke him."
"Hmph, you're afraid I'll hurt the one you long for."
Noriyuki sneered.
"I'm worried the Izuna family will be wiped out because of it. This is advice!"
After saying that, Yomi turned and left without paying attention to Noriyuki's ugly expression.
"That... Hikaru Nii-san is very scary when he's angry!"
Tsuchimiya Kagura timidly reminded Noriyuki and the others, then walked in the direction Isayama Yomi had left.

As the Eternal Beauty List announcement reached before rank forty, the rank rewards obtained by those entering the List became exclusive rewards. This was a good outcome.
Moreover, these various rank rewards also made the gods who were originally indifferent become a bit excited.
Tōjou Kuroka, Misaka Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki—they are famous young experts in the world. A 10% or 20% enhancement could make their power far surpass their peers.

"Rias's rank reward is Destruction Magic Awakening!!!"
Sirzechs was slightly shocked. This was something even he, as a Transcendence, couldn't achieve.
"The Dimensional List's capabilities are greater than we thought."
Ajuka, who had just returned from outside, said, "The rewards for the top ten ranks might be far beyond our predictions."
Sirzechs nodded in agreement.
"Sōna-chan is only rank seventeen."
Serafall pouted unhappily.
"Rank ten is out; it's her! And this rank reward, is it real!!"
"There really is such a treasure in the world!"
"..."
A figure of a beautiful unfamiliar girl appeared on the Eternal Beauty List. She was unfamiliar to ordinary people, but very familiar in the eyes of the gods, especially her rank reward that made many people's eyes light up with desire.
[Rank 10: Hecate]
[Partner: None for Now]
[Rank Reward: Comprehension Card (Transcendence)]
Hecate, The Throne of Bal Masqué, was already a top-level existence below Transcendence, on par with the Four Seraphs in Heaven and the two Devil Kings in the Underworld who hadn't reached the Transcendence realm.
And this rank reward, the Comprehension Card (Transcendence), from its name alone, it was clear that it must be a treasure that could help advance to the Transcendence realm.
Transcendence—that was the strongest order in the world!
No expert wouldn't envy it. Even some Main Gods who had already become Transcendence were no exception.
The only unknown was how great the chance of ascension this Comprehension Card (Transcendence) could provide.
However, even if it was just a little, it was enough for the gods and experts to compete fiercely for it.
