Alright people, we're gonna get into the meeting with Riser. There's not really much to tell you besides that except that the other OC fic I'm working on will only come out after the Riser arc is completed but until then, there's no chance of it coming out. Ok, last thing. I wanna answer reviews I got.

Reviews:

Wacko12 – Nope, he doesn't, I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that quite a few times but whatever. However, he will get something special sooner or later but not anytime soon.

Stormgreywolf – Thx man, the support is really appreciated.

Now let's get started.

Disclaimer, I do not own anything but my oc. The rest all go to their respective owners.


Chapter 7

Hyoudou Residence, Issei P. O. V

For some reason, I'm in a place which looks like a chapel. There are familiar faces around me.

"Damn it! For Issei to get married!"

"It's some kind of mistake! This is some kind of conspiracy!"

The bald headed Matsuda, and Motohama who is wearing glasses are sending out words to me while putting on an envious look.

"Issei! I want my first grandchild to be a girl!"

"Sob, you have grown! You were a worthless child whose only pride was his desire to have sex!"

Both my parents cried. That was when I realized I'm wearing a white 's like a wedding scene. Wait, this is a wedding scene. Is it MY wedding?!

"Ise, you can't look around restlessly."

A familiar voice comes from my side. When I look to my side I saw Buchou in a wedding dress standing right there. She looked absolutely gorgeous. Wait, a wedding dress?! Does that mean–

"Rias-sama! You look so beautiful!"

"Aaah, Rias-oneesama! Why on earth are you marrying a guy like that!?"

Screams cried out.

A few minutes passed as the priest read out the vows and my mind flash to other things. Marriage = husband and wife. Husband and wife = family. Family = children. Children = making babies. Making babies = sexual relation. Sexual relation = husband and wife's love affair. Husband and wife's love affair = starts from the first night of marriage…first night of marriage….

I get to have sex with Buchou!

"Now you may kiss the bride." The priest says. When I turned I saw Buchou had her eyes closed and her face was approaching mind. I get to kiss her!

[This is where your wet dream ends you little pervert.]

A mysterious voice echoes in my head. A low voice with an impact, somehow I feel like I know this voice. A voice which has always been close to me…

[That's right. I'm right beside you.]

It echoes again.

I look around me, and the chapel is nowhere to be seen now. Buchou who was right next to me is also gone. Everyone including my parents and friends are gone as well! Rather than that, where am I? I'm losing all my senses. I lost my sense of balance and touch.I lost my sense of sight and hearing as well. It's pitch-black right in front of me. Darkness. I can't hear anything with my ears. It's silent.

…What is this?

Buchou! Dad! Mum! Matsuda! Motohama!

I shout the names of those I'm close with inside my heart, but there is no reply. What is happening to me?

Whose voice is that?

[It's mine.]

That was when a giant monster appeared in front of me. The colour of its eyes is red like a blood. A jaw that comes up to its ears, where lots of sharp fangs are growing out. There is a thick horn lining up on its forehead, and the scales that covers its body is red like a magma. It has thick arms and legs like those of a gigantic tree. The claws look very sharp and terrifying. More than that, its pair of wings that are spread to the sides makes this giant monster look even bigger.

Out of all the things I know, the thing that resembles it the most is a…Dragon.

[That's it. That's the right deduction. I've been trying to talk to you for the whole time. But, since you were really weak, my words didn't reach you until now. Finally, I am able to.] It said.

…What is this guy saying? I don't get it.

Appear? He has been trying to talk to me for the whole time? I don't know. I don't know about it! What? Is he trying to eat me?

[Eat you who seems to taste awful? As if I would. That's not it. I just wanted to introduce myself to my partner who I will be fighting along with from now on.] It said.

Partner? Hold on a second. I don't even know what you are talking about!

Dragon! Who are you—?

[You already realised it, haven't you? You probably thought about it. Yeah, that's right. I'm exactly what you think I am. Let's talk again. Aye, partner.]

When I looked at my left arm, it was covered in red scales and it looks very abnormal because it has really sharp claws growing out from it.

"Gah!" I gasped as my eyes shot open to see the familiar ceiling in front of me. Aah, so that was a dream.

Meanwhile at the Kakazu residence, Third Person P. O. V

It had been about a week since the familiar hunt and Yoichi's fight with Tiamat. She really hurt him bad but thanks to Asia's twilight healing, he got healed up in no time. After he got healed he contacted Tiamat to ask about a few things. She had said that since she is his familiar now, she will help him in any way she can to help him get stronger and that if he ever needed her he can just summon her.

As of right now however, Yoichi and Kiba were currently doing a little bit of sparring outside his house. Just like last time, they decided to do it early in the morning before school to make sure no one sees them.

Su! Su! Su! Su! Su! Su!

Kiba made several movements with his incredible speed hoping to give Yoichi the slip. He had to admit, Yoichi improves fast. He could completely keep up with Kiba now. Granted he was still not going full speed but it was still impressive.

Su!

As soon as he was sure, Kiba dashed right at Yoichi and,

Swing!

Swung his bokken horizontally at him, Yoichi in response only smirked and ducked, dodging the attack. Not missing a beat, Yoichi launched forward and threw a punch at Kiba's face. Unlike their last fight, Kiba was not able to block fast enough due to Yoichi's increase in speed since then and the hit connected.

Wham!

The force of the punch caused Kiba to stagger back a bit but he quickly regained his balance. However, as soon as he did that Yoichi already made it in front of him and throwing another punch aimed at his face again.

Bap! Snap!

Kiba was able to block the punch this time but in the process, Yoichi snapped Kiba's bokken in half with his punch. Because of that, Kiba was in a bit of shock.

BAM!

Taking advantage of that, Yoichi quickly head-butted Kiba in the face but, unfortunately, Kiba proved to not be completely out of the game because he then threw a HARD punch at Yoichi's stomach.

"Gugh!" Yoichi coughed as they both staggered back a bit but kept their balance.

"Haa~ Haa~…" They both panted.

"That's it, you win." Kiba said giving up. He knew there was no point since his bokken broke. Don't get him wrong, Kiba was nowhere useless in hand to hand combat but he was a swordsman above all else while Yoichi specialized mostly in hand to hand combat so he didn't see himself really winning.

"Alright, well, it's been an hour so you wanna stop now?" Yoichi asked and Kiba nodded.

"Yea, we should probably stop and get ready for school now." Kiba said and was about to leave until Yoichi stopped him.

"Wait, before you go I have a question." Yoichi said and Kiba turned to look at him.

"Sure, what is it?" Kiba asked.

"I'll just be blunt. You have a sacred gear right?" Yoichi asked and Kiba was bit surprised at his question. He did have a sacred gear but he doesn't remember ever telling Yoichi.

"Yes, I do but how did you know?" Kiba asked.

"It's pretty obvious. Rias isn't the type of person to pick up ordinary people. I'm an exception but all of you probably have something special about you, just like how Issei has boosted gear even though he doesn't come off as a fighter." Yoichi explained and Kiba couldn't help but feel a little impressed.

"Nice observation. You're very sharp." Kiba complimented buy Yoichi just waved it off.

"One more thing, can you tell me what your sacred gear is?" Yoichi asked and Kiba nodded.

"Of course, my sacred gear is called [Sword Birth]." Kiba explains while summoning up a sword. "I can make any type of demonic swords.

"Well shit, that sounds badass." Yoichi sighs. "Guess I better be prepared for that when we go all out in sparring."

"Of course, anyway, I'll be taking my leave now. See you at school." Kiba waves as he walked away.

Yoichi then walks into his house to prepare for school.

Kuoh Academy

Yoichi and his two friends, Takumi and Hiroto were sitting around behind the main building of the school.

Game over. You have died.

"Damn it. Died again." Takumi cursed as he looked at his game screen. His two friends were staring at him.

"You know if the student council finds that they'll confiscate it right?" Hiroto asked with Yoichi nodding.

"It's fine as long as they DON'T find it." Takumi pointed out before changing the topic. "Anyway, do you guys wanna go to the arcade after school?"

"Sure." Hiroto said.

"Can't, I have club." Yoichi said and his friends just stared at him.

"You're surprisingly taking your club very seriously." Hiroto stated.

"Yea, what are you guys doing that's so fun?" Takumi asked.

"Nothing really, it's just that I don't really feel like getting nagged at for not coming." Yoichi sighed. "Rias says I shouldn't skip too much, usually I'd ignore orders but damn is she persistent."

"Sounds like a strict president." Hiroto said.

"Yea, but you're still lucky to be in that club. It's full of hot chicks." Takumi said with a perverted grin growing on his face. Since there was not really anyone around, he could freely express that.

"Could you stop mentioning girls every time we talk about my club? It's annoying." Yoichi said not really sounding that annoyed.

"Whatever my friend, you just can't appreciate the female body." Takumi said raising a fist with his perverted smile.

"Seriously, if you didn't hide your perversion so well you'd be part of the perverted trio." Hiroto stated and Yoichi nodded in agreement.

Ring~

And that was when the school bell rung, indicating the start of homeroom.

"Well, we should go now." Hiroto said and with that, the three of them headed to class.


End of School

It was now the end of school and time for club activities. Yoichi was heading there right now and as usual, he was a little late. It was a normal thing, he would show up for club but he would be late.

When he got to the clubroom he was greeted with the sight of all the members. Then he saw Issei with a face was…messed up. It was so full of bruises Yoichi couldn't even recognize him. Of course, Yoichi knew why he was like that, he probably went to peep or something so he didn't bother asking.

Yoichi then took a seat on the couch next to Koneko.

"…Want some?" Koneko asked holding out some of her snacks that Yoichi gladly took.

"Thanks."

"Ara ara, you two seem to be getting along well." Akeno stated as Koneko is usually very possessive over her snack.

Koneko turned to her and nodded while Yoichi shrugged.

If you're wondering about the reason why those two are closer well, it's simple really. The reason is because when Koneko was tasked with picking up Yoichi whenever he skipped club, he would usually treat her to some food on the way back to school for club. Honestly, he was impressed that a small girl like Koneko could eat so much.

Other than that, Yoichi also wasn't loud and perverted so she kinda liked him better than Issei at least. The only time Yoichi's voice gets a little loud is when he gets excited about a fight. Those are the reason Koneko started getting along with Yoichi, she even started going along with Yoichi's requests to spar.

They then turned just in time to hear Asia say,

"Ise-san. You shouldn't be peeping at girls getting changed… I…if you want to see the naked body of women that much… I can…" Asia struggled to string her words together, making Issei try to stop her.

"No, no! You don't have to push yourself Asia! I want to! But that's not it!"

"Yes. If you want to see naked bodies, you can just tell me. I can show you mine at anytime inside the bath and bed." Rias chipped in her thoughts.

"W-wait are you serious?" Issei asked and Rias nodded.

You've already seen them many times, right?" Rias asked and a perverted smile grew on Issei's face while thinking about Rias's oppai.

PULLLL!

That was until his cheeks got pulled by Asia out of jealousy.

"Jeez, Issei-san!"

"Anyway, Yoichi, you have a summon for you." Rias said looking at Yoichi who nodded.

"Sure."

Akeno then starts preparing the magic circle. Once it was done, Yoichi stepped on and teleported. When he got back, everyone got done with what they were supposed to do and went home.


That Night at the Hyoudou Residence

"Issei, I need you to take my virginity." Rias said.

Here's what happened. Issei was just minding his own business, you know, trying to not be perverted towards Asia. When all of a sudden Rias showed up through a magic circle and just straight up told Issei to take her you know what.

Of course Issei was frozen stiff because he had no idea how to react. The most popular girl in school just asked him to take her virginity.

"Hurry, go to bed. I will get ready for it now." Rias said as she started stripping. She already got most of her clothes off but as she was about to reach for her bra,

"B-Buchou! This is—!?"

Issei tried to say something but stopped as he was graced the sight of Rias's breasts when she finally got her shirt and bra off. She then takes a breath and walks over to him.

"Issei, aren't I good enough?"

"N-No! Absolutely not!"

"I thought about all sorts of things, but this is the only method left. If there is evidence, then they can't complain about it. The only person close to me who is able to do it with me is you. Rias said as if it was the most obvious thing. She had not said anything to Issei yet so of course he would be confused. She then continued, "…Yuuto won't do. He is a pure knight. He would decline it for sure. Yoichi won't do either because he has absolutely no interest in these things so he will decline as well. That's why you were the only one possible, Issei."

Those words caused Issei to start celebrating in his due to beating out the two Rias just mentioned.

"…There are things you still lack in, but you seem to have the potential. You are the only one who would do it as soon as I ask and will go till the end." Rias said as she straddled Issei, her ass placed on his tool.

"B-Buchou…" He stuttered out.

"This is your first time, right Issei? Or do you already have experience?"

"I-It's my first time!"

"I see. It's my first time as well, so let's do it till the end even if both of us have no experience. It's all right, it's very simple. You just have to put it inside here." She gestured her lower valley suggestively, making Issei glaze over. She then took Issei's right hand and made it grasp her breast, allowing him the feeling of her glorious oppai.

"Do you realize it?" Rias asked catching Issei's expression. "I'm also nervous. You can tell by my heart beat right?"

FLASH!

Just then, the floor begins to sine and a magic circle appeared. By the looks of it, the symbol of the magic circle is the gremory symbol.

Rias seeing this sighed. "…Looks like I was a bit late…"

The person who came out of the magic circle was a beautiful silver haired woman who looked to be wearing a maid outfit.

"Are you trying to break the agreement by doing something like this?" The maid lady says it plainly when she looked at Rias whose eyebrows twitched when she heard that.

"If I don't go this far, both Otou-sama and Onii-sama won't listen to me right?"

"Both Sirzechs-sama and the master will become sad after they find out that you tried to give your purity to some lowly person like this."

"My purity is mine only. What's wrong with giving it to someone whom I acknowledged? Also don't call my cute servant lowly. Even if it's you, I won't forgive you, Grayfia."

Issei remained speechless as the maid now known 'Grayfia', and Rias exchanged words. Grayfia then picks up Rias's bra.

"Anyway, you are the next heiress of the House of Gremory, so please don't show your skin to a man recklessly. Even more so if you are in the middle of this situation." She says as she puts the bra back on Rias before turning towards Issei. "How do you do. I'm a maid that serves the House of Gremory. My name is Grayfia. Pleased to make your acquaintance."

Issei couldn't respond and just stared at her.

Pinch!

Only to be broken out of his frozen state when Rias started pinching him, "Grayfia, did you come here of your own accord? Or because the household sent you? …Or is it Onii-sama?"

"All of them." Hearing that reply, Rias sighed in defeat. She can't argue if the entire household is against her.

"Is that so? You, who is brother's [Queen], came to the human world personally. So it can only be one thing. I understand." With that, Rias started putting her clothes back on. "I'm sorry, Ise. Let's make it so that the thing from earlier never happened. I wasn't thinking straight either. Let's forget about today's incident." Rias said to Issei who was still in shock and Grayfia looked a little shocked when hearing that.

"Issei? Wait, is this person?"

"Yes, Hyoudou Issei. My [Pawn]. The user of the [Boosted Gear]."

"…[Boosted Gear], the one possessed by the Emperor of Dragons…" Grayfia says to herself.

"Grayfia, let's go back to my room. I will listen to what you have to say over there. Akeno can also attend, right?" Rias asked.

"The "Priestess of Thunder"? I don't mind. It's a must for High-class Devils to have their [Queen] by their side all the time."

"Very well. Issei." Rias calls out to Issei and kissed him on his cheek. "Please forgive me for today with this. I troubled you a lot. Let's meet again in the clubroom tomorrow."

And with that, Rias and Grayfia disappeared through the magic circle. Leaving a speechless Issei.


The Next Day, Occult Research Club

Issei, Kiba and Asia arrived at the club. Issei had asked Kiba a few things about Rias but he couldn't really answer much so they decided to ask Akeno when they had the chance. When they went inside however, they were greeted with the sight of all the club members (Excluding Yoichi) and Grayfia.

"Ok, you're here. Since there's no time to wait for Yoichi let's get to the point." Rias said with an unpleasant face.

"Ojou-sama, do you want me to explain the situation?" Grayfia asked but Rias rejects her offer by waving her hand.

"The truth is—"

Whatever Rias was about to say, it died down when a magic circle appeared and started glowing in the room. The sign on the magic circle was shaped distinctly like a bird, showing that it belonged to the Phenex household. Though, Issei didn't know that.

Out from the magic circle came a tall and handsome young man that looked like he was in his early 20's with short blonde hair and dark blue eyes. He was dressed casually in a red suit, revealing his chest and he had somewhat of a bad boy vibe to him. Issei felt that he looked kind of like a host or should I say, a host-devil.

"Fuu, it's been a while since I came to the human's world." He said looking around before catching sight of Rias and smirking. "My lovely Rias. I came to see you." He said before wrapping his arm around her shoulder causing Issei to look pissed.

Rias regarded the man with half-opened eyes. It didn't seem like she was welcoming this guy but he didn't seem to care. "Now then, Rias. Let's go and take a look at the ceremony hall. The date of the ceremony is decided so we need to check it before then." He continued frivolously.

"…Let go of me, Riser." Rias replied to the guy now known as 'Riser', she looked VERY pissed but not that the guy cared as he just kept on smirking.

Deciding he'd had enough, Issei steps in and say, "Hey, you. You're being rude to Buchou. Actually, what's with that attitude towards a girl?"

Riser in response turned to Issei as if he was just another piece of trash on the side of the road which only served to fuel Issei's anger.

"Ah? Who are you?" He asked with a displeased voice.

"I am the servant Devil of Rias Gremory-sama! I'm the [Pawn], Hyoudou Issei." Issei said proudly.

"Hmm. Ah, okay." Riser said dully before turning his attention back to Rias. Issei seemed a bit hurt by this reaction.

"I mean, who the heck are you?" Issei asked and that seemed to surprise the guy.

"…Oh? Rias, you haven't mentioned me to your servants? I mean, are there guys who don't know me? A reincarnated Devil? Even so."

"I didn't tell them because there was no need." Rias said nonchalantly.

"Oh my, harsh as always. Hahaha…" Riser laughed as if it didn't bother him.

"Hyoudou Issei-sama." Grayfia cut in.

"Y-Yes."

"This person is Riser Phoenix-sama. He's a pure-blood High-class Devil, and the third son of the House of Phoenix." She explains. "And he is the husband of the next heiress of the House of Gremory."

"…"

"He is engaged to Rias-ojousama."

"…"

There was silence.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!" Issei screamed when the words finally registered.

Later

After it calmed down a bit, everyone was now sitting at their respective spots in the room. Of course, Yoichi was still nowhere to be seen making some people such as Kiba and Koneko wonder what's taking him so long.

Yes, they know he's always late but he's later than usual today. Could something have happened?

"Stop it already!" Rias apparently had enough and snapped at him but Riser didn't seem that bothered as he kept smirking while Rias glared at him. "Riser! I told you before! I will not marry you!"

"Yeah, I heard that before. But Rias, that won't do, you know? I think the situation of your household is quite serious."

Hearing this didn't cease Rias's anger whatsoever. "That's none of your concern! If I'm the next heiress for the House of Gremory, then I will choose who will become my husband! My father, brother, and everyone in the clan are rushing it! Also it was a promise that I will be free until I graduate from university of the human world!"

"That's right. You will basically be free. You can go to college and you can do whatever you like with your servants. But your Otou-sama and Sirzechs-sama are worried. They are afraid that your household will become extinct. We lost a great number of pure-blood Devils in the last war. Even if the war has ended, our rivalry with the Fallen Angels and God hasn't ended yet. It's not rare for the successors of pure-blood Devil to get killed in the worthless battle against them, which leads to the household becoming extinct. So for a pure-blood Devil that also happens to be a High-class Devil, getting together would be the obvious solution for the forces of Devils. A pure-blood High-class Devil. Even you know that these children will be important from now on, right?"

Rias became quiet when Riser brought up that topic. Though, her sharp eyes didn't change.

"The newly produced Devils—. The ones like your servants, the reincarnated Devils, are expanding in terms of strength but that would make us, the High-class Devils with old history background, lose our place. There are old nobles who approach the reincarnated Devils because they are very powerful. Well, that might be alright. The newly produced Devils are also important for our future. But we can't allow the pure-blood Devils to go extinct right? You and I were chosen in order to prevent the pure-bloods from going extinct. My house is safe because I have my older brothers. But there are only two siblings in your house. And your brother is someone who left the house. Then there would only be you, Rias, who can inherit the House of Gremory. If you don't take a husband, the House of Gremory will go extinct in your generation. Are you trying to crush the household that has been continuing for a very long time? Because of the past war, there is not even half the number of Devils who were referred as "72 pillars". This marriage has the future of the Devils on the line." Riser continued.

"I'm not going to crush my house. And I am willing to take a husband." Rias says and Riser makes a big smile.

"Oh, to be expected from Rias! Then let's—"

"But I won't marry you, Riser. I will marry the one I acknowledge. Even the Devils from the old noble house have the right to choose." Rias cuts him off.

Hearing this, Riser looked like he was starting to get angry. "…You know, Rias. I'm also a Devil who carries the name of House of Phoenix behind me. I can't let that name get tarnished. I didn't even want to come to a small old building like this in the human world. Rather, I don't like the human world that much. The fire and wind of this world is filthy. For a Devil like me who rules fire and wind, I can't stand it!"

FLAME!

Flames then started to surround Riser. "I will take you back to the underworld, even if I have to burn all of your servants." He said as he released killing intent.

Issei felt fear well up inside him as he looked at Riser. Asia then hugs his arm out of fear, Kiba and Koneko didn't flinch but they looked ready to step in any time.

Rias makes a stance with red aura surrounding her while Riser released even more fire as the flames took form as wings on his back, wings of fire.

The situation looked bad, it seemed a fight was about to break out. Grayfia was about to jump in until–

Click

The door suddenly opened to reveal Yoichi. Everyone turned towards him and the hostility went down as everyone gave him different looks.

Grayfia kept her usual stoic face as she looked at him, though she couldn't help but feel that he was kind of rude by being this late. Rias looked a little peeved because he was so late while Akeno kept her usual ladylike smile.

Kiba and Koneko looked glad at the same time disturbed at how bad his timing for showing up is. Issei and Asia on the other hand just sweat dropped at the bad timing.

Riser however, looked at Yoichi the same way he looked at Issei. Like a piece of trash on the side of the road.

Yoichi then looked around the room for a bit. He could feel the tense air and could tell it was mainly caused by Riser's presence. Yoichi then stared at Riser before turning back to Rias.

"…So, who's the douche?" Yoichi asked with a straight face.

And Riser took offence to this. He was now glaring at the person who just arrived.

"What was that you low-class devil?!" Riser growled threateningly.

However, Yoichi ignored him and looked towards Rias questioningly. "Well?"

"DID YOU JUST IGNO–

"Shhhhh, the grown-ups are talking." Yoichi shushed Riser and his face went red with rage. Everyone was now quite concerned, Yoichi was treating a high-class devil like a child, not exactly the best thing to do. Well, Rias was a bit happy seeing Riser mad.

"This person is Riser Phoenix-sama. He's a pure-blood High-class Devil, and the third son of the House of Phoenix. He is also engaged to Rias-ojousama." Grayfia explains to Yoichi before Rias could and he nodded before he froze when the words registered.

"A…high class devil…?" Yoichi muttered still frozen in place.

Riser took that as a sign that Yoichi was now intimidated and was panicking with the way he treated him. So he got arrogant.

Puffing up his chest, Riser walked up to Yoichi until they were only a few feet apart. Since Riser was slightly taller, he was towering over Yoichi and had on his best smug face as he stared Yoichi down.

"Finally realized your mistake brat?" Riser smirked. "What do you have to say for yourself?"

"Heh."

"Huh?" Riser asked confused.

It was then he noticed the smile growing on Yoichi's face and he became even more confused. Of course, no one else knew the meaning of that smile either and,

WHAM!

"Fight me!" Yoichi shouted with a smile as he punched Riser in the face with a flame engulfed fist. Solely by shock, Riser was sent flying–

SMASH!

Right out the window, shattering the glass in the process. Everyone was in complete shock. Even Grayfia was taken aback by Yoichi's action. However, when she saw the smile on his face she knew exactly what's going on.

'Oh good, another battle maniac, just what we need.' She thought to herself sarcastically. She's dealt with plenty of battle maniacs, they're a pain.

All the members of the occult research club on the other hand face palmed at what he did, though Rias had a satisfied look mixed in as well.

STOMP! STOMP! STOMP!

Footsteps were heard and a few minutes later,

Bang!

The door burst opened to reveal Riser with a bruise on his cheek from the punch. He. Looked. Pissed. "You!" He growled.

Yoichi in response cocked an eyebrow and asks, "Aren't you a high-class devil? Why did you waste your time going through the door when you could have just teleported back in here?"

There was then silence in the room.

"SH-SHUT UP!" Riser shouted in embarrassment when he realized Yoichi had a point. Flames then started to surround Riser again along with Yoichi.

"Please calm down. If both of you were to continue, then I won't be quiet about it. For Sirzechs-sama's honour, I won't hold back." Before they could do anything however, Grayfia stepped in.

Hearing this, Riser immediately calms down and ceases his flame. Leaving Yoichi very disappointed. "…To be told that by the "Strongest Queen", even I would be scared…I definitely wouldn't want to fight the people from Sirzechs-sama's group, which is known to be made up of monsters." Riser said.

Yoichi however suddenly felt excited hearing Grayfia's title. ""Strongest Queen"? That sounds awesome. Hey maid-san, fight me!" He exclaims and everyone was getting really worried as he just challenged Grayfia. That was basically asking for death.

"Apologies but I will not do that. It goes against my duties right now." Grayfia turned him down.

"Haa~" Yoichi sighed. "Buzz kill." He muttered before going to lean against the wall.

"Master, Sirzechs-sama, and those from the House of Phoenix knew it would turn out like this. To tell you the truth this was to be the last discussion meeting. Everyone knew that it wouldn't be solved, so they decided to make a last resort." Grayfia says.

"Last resort? What do you mean, Grayfia?" Rias asks.

"Ojou-sama, if you wish to push your opinion forward, then how about you settle it by having a [Rating Game] against Riser-sama?"

"…!?"

"HELL YEAH! Do it Rias!" Yoichi yelled in excitement. He had no idea what was going on but now apparently there's a chance he gets to fight in a rating game? That's freaking awesome!

However it seemed he was ignored as Rias has gone completely speechless at what Grayfia said.

"Just as you know, Ojou-sama, only mature aged Devils can participate in official [Rating Game]. But if it's an unofficial match between pure-blood Devils, even immature Devils can participate. However, in this case—"

"When it involves the family and household problems." Rias cuts Grayfia off. "In other words Otou-sama and the others decided to have a game as a last resort if I was to decline, right? …Just how far do they intend to interfere with my life until they're satisfied…?!"

"Then Ojou-sama, you are saying you would also decline to participate in the game?"

"No, I won't, since this is a chance. Alright then. Let's settle this with a game, Riser." Rias says and Riser smirks.

"Hee, so you're accepting it. I don't mind. But I'm already a matured Devil and I have already participated in the official game. Right now I have won most of the games. Even so, you still want to play, Rias?" Riser says provocatively.

"I will. I will blow you away, Riser!"

"YES!" Yoichi exclaims as Rias said that.

"Fine. If you win, do whatever you like. But if I win, you will marry me immediately." Riser said as he and Rias glared at each other.

"Understood. I, Grayfia, have confirmed both sides' opinion. I will be in charge of the game between the two households. Is that okay?"

"Yes."

"Yeah."

Both [Kings] agreed.

"Understood. I will inform the two households then."Grayfia-san bows her head after confirming.

Riser then looks at everyone else and smirks. "Hey, Rias. Would the ones here be your servants?"

"So what?" Rias asks with her eyes twitching.

"Then this match will be a laugh. Only your [Queen], the "Priestess of Thunder" can fight on par with my adorable servants." Riser says as he snaps his fingers and a magic circle starts glowing in the room.

From the magic circle came about 15 people, 'women', to be exact, and each and every one of them were wearing rather fetishistic outfits.

"Well, these are my cute servants." Riser said.

Yoichi began to examine them. He noted that all of them were quite beautiful but that thought quickly left as he thought about how strong they might be. That thought brought a smile to his face and it excited him to no end.

"Gross~."

"Riser-sama, this person is freaking me out~."

Yoichi heard that and looked to see that they were saying that to Issei who had an envious look. Yoichi couldn't help but face palm at that. He knew that Issei was perverted but the fact that he's ogling the enemy is just disturbing.

"Don't say that, my cute girls. Looking up to upper stream folks is what a lowly ones does. Let's show them how passionate we are." Riser said before he started tongue kissing one of the girls causing Issei's envy to rise.

Rias looked like she didn't care. "Hauhauhauuu…" Asia's face turned red as her brain blew. And Kiba, Koneko and Akeno just looked disgusted. What about Yoichi? You ask? He didn't care.

When Riser stopped, there was a thread of saliva. Then he thought it was a good idea for round 2 so he did. When he was done with that, he looked to Issei with a smirk.

"You will never be able to do this." Riser said and that was it.

"Don't say what I think you were saying! Damn it! Boosted Gear!" Issei shouted as he summoned up boosted gear and pointed a finger at Riser. "A womaniser like you isn't good enough to be with Buchou!"

"Huh? Weren't you looking up to the so-called womaniser?"

"S-Shut up! That's different with the thing about Buchou! At this rate, you will continue to flirt with other girls even after you marry Buchou!"

"Heroes love women. That's a saying in the human world, right? A good phrase indeed. But this is just a close relationship with my servants. Aren't you also getting adored by Rias?" Riser asked.

Although that was true, Issei ignored that.

"Hero my ass! You are just a bird guy! Fire bird Phoenix? Hahaha! That's the same as Yakitori!"

It was now Riser's turn to snap as he put on a furious face.

"Yakitori!? Y-You Low-class Deeeeevil! Don't get ahead of yourself! That's not the way you talk to a High-class Devil! Rias, what's going on with your discipline towards your servants!?"

Rias just looks Riser dead in the eyes, "Seems to me they're perfectly disciplined".

"Hey Yakitori-guy! I will just beat the crap out of you with my Boosted Gear!" Issei said. "We don't need to have a game! I will just take you all down, right here, right now!"

[Boost!]

And with that Issei charged at Riser but the latter sighs.

"Mira."

"Yes, Riser-sama."

Riser gives out the order and a small girl from his peerage came right at Issei and swung a wooded staff directly to his head.

BAM!

The sound echoed. Her movements were too fast for Issei to follow so he had no idea it was coming. Which made it even more shocking when he saw that Yoichi was now standing in front of him. The staff had hit Yoichi right on the head and he was just standing there.

Until a smile grew on his face, "You fucked up." He said and,

BAM!

He kicked her in the stomach sending her flying to the wall. He then turned to the other members of Riser's peerage,

"Anyone else?" Yoichi asked hoping another one would try.

SWOOF!

And he got his wish as a girl with shoulder length black hair, green eyes, two Chinese style buns on both sides of her head and wearing a cheongsam charged at him with a Ki charged punch aimed at his face. However Yoichi-

BAP!

-managed to block it without a problem. Though, he couldn't help but wince at the force of the attack. Judging from her strength, Yoichi assumed she was a [Rook].

Everyone in the room seemed very surprised he was able to block that. Well, except Kiba because he had sparred with Yoichi yesterday and knows about his improvements.

"Kiba moves faster." Yoichi said and,

FLAME! BAM!

He quickly engulfed his right hand in flames and threw a punch right at her face. Unfortunately, she was able to block it just in time before it hit but it DID push her back a few feet. While she was still recovering from that, Yoichi used momentum and charged at her. Engulfing his foot with flames, he then kicked her in the stomach sending her flying to the wall.

WHAM!

The sound echoed as she crashed to the wall. Yoichi turned towards Riser and gave him a smirk. "Is that all they got?" He said and now all of the members of Riser's peerage had their guards up.

"Don't get so full of yourself. Mira is my [Pawn], she's the weakest out of my servants and as for Xuelan, she was just caught off guard." Riser said glaring at Yoichi before turning to Issei.

"As for you, you are weak. This is certainly one of the invincible and dangerous Sacred Gears. By how you use it, not only me, but you can also defeat a Maou and God. There were quite a number of possessors who had that before. But there hasn't been any case where it defeated a God or Maou. Do you know what this means?" Riser then laughs out loud. "It means that this Sacred Gear is imperfect, and the possessors were also bunch of weaklings that couldn't use it! You are no exception! How do you say this in the human world again? …Yes, "Pearls before swine". Fuhahaha! Yeah, pearls before swine! It's about you! Rias's [Pawn]-kun!"

Riser then puts a hand on his chin and has a thinking face on. "Rias, how about we have a match in 10 days? We could do it now, but that wouldn't be interesting."

"…Are you giving me a handicap." Rias asks, not rejecting it.

"Are you against it? Is it humiliating? [Rating Game] isn't something simple that you can win with only your feelings. If you can't use your servant's power to the fullest, then you will lose immediately. So it's not weird for you to train with your servants for your first [Rating Game]. I have seen Devils who lost without using their power to the fullest countless of times, no matter how great their potential and power was."

Rias didn't complain and just listened to what Riser said.

"—10 days. If it's you, then you should be able to improve your servants. At least, enough for them to give me a challenge." Riser says before turning to Issei. "Don't be a disgrace to Rias, Rias's [Pawn]. Your blow is Rias's blow."

He then looks towards Yoichi with a glare. "As for you, I'll be sure to teach you a lesson personally."

"Rias, the next time we meet will be at the game." And with that, Riser and his peerage disappeared through a magic circle.

"So, anybody wanna fill me in?" Yoichi asks.
