Chapter 10.5: - Compromise ~ Rias and Lena~ -

- Rias' P.O.V. -

"A-Another world...?"

Lena-san nodded at my words.

"Yes. I came from a world that is different than yours."

Lena-san and I are currently sharing Goshujin-sama's bed. Goshujin-sama had told us earlier we will have his bed while he sleeps in the other room.

"In my world, I am an Otome; elite female warriors employed by important political figures as bodyguards. Our powers and skills are vast making us by definition supersoldiers."

"..."

I was at loss of words as Lena-san's words absorbed in my head. My visage slightly fell down as my hands began to tremble.

"I think your reaction is normal. It's not that you'll have a conversation with a self-proclaimed out-worlder like me."

"No. This revelation..."

"Hm?"

A surge of excitement and glee encapsulate me as I gripped Lena-san's arms with force.

"Really!? Are you really from another world!? As in really, really, really!?"

My reaction is understandable. Being an Otaku, I am a fan of stories, animes, and videogames that depicts a protagonist travelling from different worlds.

Lena-san looked at me with an owlish eyes before she smiled.

"I see. You're reaction tells me that Haku-kun didn't tell you that his from another world."

"...Ehhhhh!?"

Goshujin-sama's from another world!? I thought he's from in this world.

"Fufu. Anyways are you interested in my world?"

Instantly, I rapidly nodded my head.

"My planet is called Earl. It is very similar to Earth. Our history tells us that our ancestors came from Earth and they colonized Earl after it was deemed for colonization."

Woah... Interstellar travel just like in the movies!

"However due to war and strife much of Earth's records have been lost including its technologies."

Lena-san sadly smile. No matter what world it is, it seems that conflict is still prevalent. The Devils current standings with the Angels and Fallen Angels are a genuine example.

Not mention our relationships with other factions from other Pantheons.

"Does that mean that your communication with Earth was lost?"

"Hn. Pretty much."

Well, that was sad. Again it's like from the space opera movies that I've watched back at home.

"Rias-san..."

"Hm?"

"Do you like Haku-kun?"

Hearing that, my face started to heat up. What is this sudden change of topic? I tried to make up some excuses but as my eyes stared at the black haired beauty...

The only thing that I saw was Lena-san's serious expression.

It was an expression that demands a definitive and truthful answer.

Though somewhat embarrassed, I mustered all of my courage to speak out my feelings.

"I do. I like Goshujin-sama."

Lena-san looked at me straight to the eye. I also did the same to her. The room became silent as both of our figures shone against the brilliance of the moonlight coming from the glass window.

The woman then smiled.

"I like him Rias."

My eyes widened as I heard her words. However, a part of me had already suspected this kind of outcome.

"I don't know how or when it started, but when I realized it I had already fallen for him."

Looking at Lena-san's eyes filled with determination and love, a jittery and warm feeling embraced me.

"Sorry, Lena-san but I do feel the same way towards Goshujin-sama."

I had to retort with my utmost feelings. I don't know if I can call this love but what I do know is that Goshujin-sama is important to me more than a friend.

There's no way that I would lose to you Lena-san. Even if you did beat me in the boob department, I will fight my feelings for Goshujin-sama.

Lena-san then chuckled as she grasped my hand.

"You're not aware that Haku-kun knows about our feelings, don't you?"

"Wha-What...?"

Lena-san only nod at me before continuing,

"He's not dense. It's just that he had lost a very important person in the past that he is afraid to embrace another one new."

Lena-san's face turned into a frown.

Honestly I didn't know that Goshujin-sama lost someone. I didn't asked him about his past out of respect. Maybe the person is the owner of the lingering will that resides within me.

"Even if we both declared as love rivals, our chances of getting through his heart is impossible."

"So you mean that neither one of us could..."

I trailed off the last sentence as I didn't want to hear the words after that. Lena-san nodded her head in agreement.

"So..."

"So..."

We both stared at each other's eyes.

At that moment, a compromise made its way to us. Both of us gazed at the door leading to the corridor though our orbs intent roamed the other side towards the other room.

As both of us stared at each other again, we said the same thing.

"Share?"
