Now I want to say thank you to everyone who followed and faved my stories and myself. It means a lot and I know I say it before every chapter but I mean it I really do. Same to my reviewers I love hearing from you guys. Now time to answer the reviews! Merendinoemiliano I am glad you enjoyed the chapter and fight and yeah but I had her wake up earlier but you know that. Trust me the next fight with the Khaos Brigade will be rough. Wacko12 I already answered your question via messages but I will be adding more OC's down the line. Uchihaitachi1010 Thanks for the support man and glad you liked the chapter. Ace I am glad you enjoyed the rating game fight, I had fun writing about it. Also some of his fans but hey a lot of people would cheer for him besides them. As for a song for the main part of the fight... I would go with Otherworld from Final Fantasy 10 but that's just me. It seemed to suit the mood until the devil may cry segment of the story. Now I hope your ready for the next arc because it will be extremely fun! See you in the next chapter!
It had been a couple of days since the school festival and things with Rias were going great, though that just meant that the other girls really fought for my attention… Granted I spent equal amount of time with all of them when I could but there was only so many hours during the day and with school still in session and the fact that we had other stuff to do, I had to start scheduling the girls… I hated doing that, but it was the only way I could fit in my homework, time with my pet dragon, planning the next prank I could pull and training… Man I really could use some help with this kind of crap. I really could use someone to help me like an assistant or a manager. Hmm… You know Azazel suggested Ravel once as a joke… But who knows maybe she would be willing to help me out, because she really had great time management skills.
I'll ask her later in the day if I survive because of this moment I was in between two dangerous women… Rias my girlfriend and Akeno the girl that wants to be dirty little secret… Seriously all these girls are nuts… If things keep going this way I may end up marrying all of them in the future… (AN: We all know that will happen, but I have to make Magnus suffer… Because I can. Well that and no one could go through this without fighting it slightly.)
See how this situation started was when I woke up I was confronted by both the older girls who were fully dressed for school and from the looks of it they were in an argument about who had the right to give me a good morning kiss… To be honest I am glad they didn't ask me because while I know the right answer is my girlfriend but if I say that I will hurt Akeno's feelings and I don't want that… But if I do the reserve I hurt my girlfriend… It's a no win situation.
Smiling confidently Rias crossed her arms. "Trying to give my Magnus a good morning kiss? Well since I already spoiled him last night, I can forgive you."
Did they come to agreement? Shaking my head, I looked at Akeno who gave a small laugh and put a hand over her mouth. "Oh my, you certainly move fast don't you Magnus?"
"Why do you always seem to go there Akeno?" I asked with a sigh… We didn't do anything like that… First of all, Asia was here… Second, I want to wait for marriage… Because we don't need any wanted complications… Plus despite all the crap the girls pull my parents are pretty accepting of it and the only reason why this crap is allowed to go on is… Well they trust me to do the right thing… Yeah, I am not breaking my parent's trust. Not to mention all Rias and I did was kiss and cuddle before going to sleep.
Though what's weird was the fact that Rias was acting kind of childish beforehand….
"I can't go to sleep if you don't kiss me. So Please kiss me?"
"Hold me Magnus, I love you."
Okay childish isn't the right word more like… She was finally acting like a girl her age… which is what I liked. Granted I loved all sides of her but when she is just acting her age it means something special, at least to me it does. It means she trusts me enough to show me the real her. You know despite how I got here I was glad to be in this world, I made so many friends, done a lot of awesome things and even fell in love… multiple times.
Akeno sighed slightly as if Rias's reaction bored her. "You're a lot calmer than I thought you be Rias. I thought you would be burning with jealousy."
"Sorry but he's my Magnus and that will never change." Rias replied… You know I think she has even more confidence now then before. I guess since we started dating she has no reason to get jealous anymore.
Giggling slightly "Looks like I was shown the confidence of the 'legal wife'."
Rias laughed, then she kissed my cheek. "It's time for breakfast. Come down stairs." Getting off the bed Rias left the room leaving me alone with Akeno… Wait no this isn't good if I am left alone with any of these girls… However, my little freak out wasn't needed as Akeno sat down next to me.
"Even if she is acting with confidence she is pushing herself." Akeno said looking at the door.
Frowning for a moment I turned my head. "Pushing herself?" Looking at the black-haired girl in confusion I motioned for her to go on.
"To tell you the truth, in the last rating game, she felt that she was a burden to you because of what happened." The devil queen explained to me, frowning for a moment I nodded in understanding… Rias had to fight against a sacred gear that could move on its own… To make matters worse it was a Longinus and during her battle it caused a serious injury, luckily, we had phoenix tears. "Rias can't forgive herself because she held you back in the fight."
Biting my lip, I thought over it and sighed, Akeno was right and I knew it. Though in my opinion Rias didn't hold me back. Hell because of her giving me injury I was able to stand back up again and use the Crimson Emperor. "That isn't true at least we both know it to be… Getting Rias to believe however is another matter." Rubbing my face, I shook my head. "Plus, Rias is strategist then a frontline fighter."
"In terms of strategy, the match between Sona and Agares received more attention. The battle they had was a Scramble Flag match. It wasn't a flashy fight, so it wasn't as recognized by others that much. Yet it received a high rating from the critics as a 'hidden professional game'." Akeno explained and yeah, I knew that already, while our match with Sairaorg was impressive and received a lot of attention, but there was an article written by a well-known critic who praised Sona and Agares calling it a 'Truly professional match'.
"Rias will need to learn many things as a king. First, she asked for advice from her brother, and has started researching the power of destruction." Akeno told me which got me thinking, however before I could say anything Akeno continued. "Rias and Sirzechs possess the same power but it's different for them both. While Sirzechs is said to be the ultimate wizard-technique type, Rias while also a wizard type is much closer to a power type." Slowly narrowing her eyes Akeno sighed. "She's lacking something… decisive… basically she doesn't have a kill move."
… Crap she's right. That's something I noticed but until now I just didn't register it. Rias didn't have a special move… Hell almost all of us had our own special moves or techniques… Or if you're like me I had more than several…Huh I wonder if this is what it's like being a custom character in a video game of set classes…. Shaking my head, I looked at Akeno and nodded. "Your right but even if she just blasts an opponent she should be fine, give how well she has done against the people we have faced…."
"But it seems like she's finding it… "Akeno then look down with a small frown. "She did better then I did, despite my new spell…"
Placing a hand on her shoulder I took a deep breath and kissed her cheek. "Listen you did great, first you blocked a lot of holy power and despite all the damage you took, you should have won that fight."
"Yet I didn't… but you finished her almost instantly…" Akeno said a small flush on her cheeks.
Biting my lip, I nodded. "Only because you wore her down for me." Despite the smile I was now giving Akeno I felt bad about that match… I really need to learn to control my temper better, because if I don't I could become unstable in the future when I became king… No… I better push that thought out of my mind, I have no time to worry about promotion crap right now.
"Still, I have a lot of work to do, but let's forget about that for now." Akeno smiled before she wrapped both arms around my neck and moved herself onto my lap… Leaning closely the black-haired slowly began to whisper in my ear. "So, Magnus what you think about us having a little fun before school?"
"Wait what?" I stared at Akeno in confusion with a blush on my face… I should have known Akeno would try to pull this crap again… Damn it Akeno we don't have time for this now…
"Given your reaction I think you want to kick start this affair right away, and so soon after you confessed to Rias? Such a naughty boy." Akeno's eyes flashed with amusement as she slowly pulled up her skirt to show off more of her thigh. Now Akeno this isn't right… and wow your skin is soft… Wait no bad Magnus bad! Giggling Akeno kissed my nose. "I think that's enough for now, Asia is here."
….. What? Turning my head to look over Akeno's shoulder I saw Asia standing there wearing an apron and doing her best impression of an ice sculpture with a smile on her face…. Give it a minute… "Ah!" There's the scream… Running into the room Asia jumped onto the bed and grabbed ahold of my head and tried to pull me away from Akeno with teary eyes.
"No fair Akeno! I was going to give Magnus a good morning kiss." Asia complained to the older girl who just looked amused as then Asia was begging me to kiss her… Seriously Asia? You know I think you are spending way too much time with Rias and Akeno… Wait if Asia is here then… Xenovia should be… Oh there she is."
"What happened Asia? Grh! Akeno is getting ahead of us again." The blue-haired girl complained… If Xenovia is here, then… And in comes Irina, thus the church trio is complete once more.
"What did you say!? No! You can't do things like this morning!?" Irina shouted seemingly in shock like Asia was for a moment… Seriously girls. Groaning I decided to ignore the problems of four women all fighting over me… Well more like three with one just giggling in amusement… Seriously Akeno that is just cold and yet for some reason it's one of the reasons why I enjoy spending time with you. Sighing I shook my head, I had a feeling I would be late for breakfast.
After getting away from the girls…. Well getting away is a strong word more like… They let me escape for the time being. Anyway, I was now in the
living room hanging out with my dad and Noble who again had another growth spurt… Seriously if this keeps up I am going to have to keep him in the underworld because he will be to big for the house. Now Noble was looking more and more like his grown adult form.
Shaking my head, I gently rubbed the Magic Dragon's body with my foot as he rested on the floor near me. "Hey dad how are things with working with Azazel?" My dad had been officially working for the Grigori in their labs since the family moved over here. My father has an engineering degree which really comes in handy since he is helping the Grigori develop new artificial sacred gears.
"It's amazing Magnus." My dad said rubbing his bearded face. "These sacred gears even the artificial ones are truly amazing works of art. Not to mention all the other things we are working on… The technology is decades ahead of what humans can do."
Smiling I nodded my head. "That's honestly awesome so are you almost finished making your sacred gear?" I asked leaning forward slightly. My dad had begun to work on making his sacred gear for protection just in case something happened and the rest of us weren't around. "Oh, and what about moms?"
"I'm almost done, and both will enough for us to protect ourselves if something comes up." My father chuckled to himself as he slowly looked down at Noble. "Plus, we have your guard dog in the meantime. Speaking of your mother, where is she?"
Jabbing a thumb back toward the kitchen I chuckled. "Where do you think? She's leading the pack." See ever since my parents officially moved here to Japan my mom because the official leader of all the women in the house. Thus, she led the girls in almost everything including cooking. Which was awesome because every day we had different types of food. Some days we had Japanese, another was just a traditional breakfast, sometimes we had Chinese which was weird and other times we had some European style foods.
All and all meal times were quite an affair here at my house…. Oh, speaking of meal times, looks like breakfast was ready. Heading to the table I took a seat and found a plate of eggs, bacon and pancakes! Looks like Ravel made the pancakes which means I am in for a treat. As I was about to take a take a bite out of the pancakes Rias slowly walked over to me handed me a bento lunch box.
"Here's your lunch for today Magnus." Rias smiled widely and went to sent down next to me. You know ever since we started dating Rias would start making my lunch for me… Not that I minded but then Asia and Akeno would fight to make my lunch. Which was really strange, but I accepted it none the less. What could I do? I mean it's food and I enjoyed eating and I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Though before they started doing that I would just normally buy something from the school store or I just skipped lunch. Looking around the table I spotted Koneko, Xenovia, and Irina all talking about something or other along with Rossweisse who was busy grading papers.
You know out of all the girls they didn't really cook much but eh I don't blame them compared to the demon food trio of Asia, Rias and Akeno and then there was the demon food king… My mother who led them no one really liked cooking. Though Ravel could compete with them if it came to desert or pancakes.
"So, what did your wife make for you today?" My father grinned as he teased me… Rolling my eyes I just showed him the contents. It's funny he wasn't the only one that teased me about the lunches Rias made me. Matsuda and Motohama did the same along with Aika.
"You know since I'm living here, maybe I should consider showing off the food from my home land." Rossweisse muttered to herself as she ate… You know I wonder what food they have… I should ask her to try and make something sometime. As I was thinking over what food they had in Valhalla Ravel came into view and she had two lunch boxes and she was filling it with some food. "Hey Rave what's up with the two lunches? You feeling extra hungry today?"
"Oh Magnus, no this is for Mason and Gasper. They are doing some training today." She explained with a smile.
Raising an eyebrow, I turned my head in confusion. "Really? We didn't have anything scheduled for this morning…" Normally all of us would either training in the morning or afternoon but today we were taking it easy… So, both of them training right now was a little odd.
"During the last match Gasper felt like he couldn't do much, so he wants to keep his physical training up. Mason wanted help him, so they are training together." Rias said as she sat down next to me and started to eat.
Wow… Poor Gasper I knew he was feeling down but every time I tried to talk to him about it he just refused to speak well at least to me… Maybe because he feels like he let me down? That isn't the case not at all. I knew he did his best and that's all that mattered to me, but I guess I can understand how he feels.
Sitting across from me Akeno continued. "Gasper said he wanted to reach his balance breaker and for that he is continuing his physical training and Mason needs to work on his balance breaker, so they are training together."
Now that makes sense, ever since Mason attained his balance breaker he has been training to use it none stop and what's interesting his if my power was to be categorized by rating game terms he would be a technique type bordering on power. So, Gasper who was a wizard and technique type was the perfect training partner for him.
Xenovia who was listening to our conversation spoke up. "Gasper can do it, I know he will." Ever since the rating game Xenovia has been supporting Gasper even more then she used to, and I was proud to see them getting closer.
"… Koneko You don't look so well?" Turning to the voice I saw Ravel looking at the small silver-haired girl… And she's right her face was red and to be honest she looked in pain. That's weird Koneko for as long as I have known her was never sick.
"…It's nothing." Koneko replied but despite her attempts to shoe her away the blonde put a hand on Koneko's forehead with a worried look on her face.
"But you feel really warm, could it be a flu? You know what I am going to make you an apple sorbet. You're in luck that some apples from my family's territory has arrived they are known for their healing properties." Ravel said with a friendly smile but Koneko smacked her hand away.
"No thanks." The former nekomata said… Wait she's turning down desert that isn't good she is sick!
Shaking slightly Ravel's drill like hair began to twitch… How is that possible? "What? How can you reject someone who is trying to help? Cats really are selfish creatures."
"At least I'm not a bird brain like you." Koneko snapped back.
"Girl's enough." Finally having enough my mom stepped in and looked between the two girls. "Ravel you should know better then to give into her, and Koneko you shouldn't be mean to someone that is trying to help you."
"Yes ma'am." Both girls replied looking down… Seriously thank you Mom. She is the only one that can get any of the girls to back down when they were fighting especially Koneko and Ravel.
Nodding with a smile my mom placed her hand on Koneko's hand. "Koneko hun, your burning up…. Maybe you should stay home today." However, at her suggestion Koneko shook her head. "Okay how about this? You let Ravel make the sorbet for you, I will give you some medicine and you come and see me in the nurses office during your breaks, so you can rest up? Sound good?"
"Okay." Koneko nodded a little glumly but she accepted my mom's comprise.
As my mom settled the arguments between the girls I couldn't help but smile however my smile soon vanished as my mother turned her gaze toward me. "By the way Magnus…"
"Yeah Mom what is it?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"When should I expect any grandchildren?" She asked with a small grin on her face.
…. I didn't know it was possible to choke on something without ever having any food in your throat. Yet I learned differently today. As I began to cough like crazy Rias patted my back with some concern. Looking up at my mom I blushed brightly. "Mom!? Seriously? What in the world are you thinking?"
"Well you both are dating now and since she sleeps with you every night I just expected it." My mom said with a blank face.
Staring at her for a moment I realized she was trolling me… Damn it! "Mom you are a troll…." Groaning I gripped my hair and banged my head into the table. "And to be honest it is WAY too early to even begin thinking of kid names… "Though it would probably be something that started with a 'M'.
As everyone just laughed I looked at Rias for some help she was just looking down rather shyly. Oh, come on Red this can't be that embarrassing. Is it…? Screw it I am just going to say it. "Listen right now Rias and I just started dating, can't we just be a couple first then think about everything else first?"
Suddenly I felt something touch my hand. Looking at the source I smiled seeing it my was girlfriend.
"I... I feel the same, I'm just happy being with Magnus." Rias smiled back at me her face still red…. I am not sure what I did but to deserve a relationship like this but to be honest I was happy, and I doubt I could ask for anything more.
Rossweisse stared at us before taking a sip of her teacher. "This is what I call an idiot couple. Please behave while you're in class."
Snorting I shook my head. "Hey, we behave while at school… Count yourself lucky that we aren't in the same class."
As I was talking back at Rossweisse I thought I caught Koneko staring at Rias and me. "A grandchild… Baby… Happiness…"
Frowning I turned my gaze to her, but she quickly looked away…. Okay something is seriously up with her… I tried to reach out with my senjutsu senses, but she blocked me… Okay what is going on with her?
School went by… Relatively normal well as normal as going to school like Kuoh can be. After class we all spent time doing some training or for my other friends they did devil jobs, but it was that night is when the real fun began. Sirzechs, Grayfia, and Azazel all came to my house and so we all were gathered in the VIP room. I had a feeling I knew what this was about given the last time I talked to Sirzechs he said three of us were being promoted and given the way Akeno, Kiba, Rias and myself were sitting in front of the devil king… Yeah this was that talk.
"Kiba, Akeno, and Magnus, you all have accomplished many things; so, the topic about you three getting a promotion has been decided by us, the devil kings, and the other top council members." The red-headed man explained to us. Yeah, I knew about this and it still freaked me out, even after having time to think about it. "Now about the promotion, to be honest you three should get a promoted to High-class devils by skipping the middle-class devil exam. However, because of the system, we would like you to go through the middle-class devil exam first."
…Wait What!? High-class!? We were considered worthy enough to be high-class already? I really can't understand what's going on right now, at least I'm not alone Akeno and Kiba are as shocked as I am
Azazel who had been silently drinking scotch this entire time finally spoke up. "It wouldn't be weird for you three to become high-class devils given your achievements, but you have to go through the proper procedure." He explained before taking a sip of his drink. "Especially you Magnus, your position with the underworld is strange but you are being allowed to take the promotion test. Now because you have to follow the proper procedure that's why you three will become mid-rank and stay there for a while but then you will then receive the promotion to high-class after that. If I were you kids I would think about what you will do as high-class. Especially you Magnus. You will be the first human to ever receive evil pieces."
This was a lot take in to be honest… They still haven't found a way to remove my soul from the evil pieces, so I could become a full devil again. Yet the current devil government was willing to give me my own servants... "So… I will end up getting evil pieces as well huh? That's just… Wow…" Looking back slightly I could see Xenovia and Asia smiled at me both… That's right both of them planned on joining me once I had a peerage… Holy crap that day isn't so far off is it?
"Yes. Defeating Loki and the terrorists are big achievements., and you have shown magnificent fighting skills in the last match against Sairaorg. Even more than that Magnus, you are the popular with the The Dragon Knight tv series. It's strange that the topic of a promotion wouldn't come up. No. I should say that this is an expected result." Sirzechs said with a smile as he tried to reassure me.
So… My tv show was another reason why I was getting promoted…. In essence doing this is a good plan. I am surprised I haven't been chatted up with some politicians by now. Seeing how every child in the underworld views me as their hero… And when they grow up that support would carry over…. Maybe Sirzechs and the Gremory group are keeping me safe from that. Well if they are then thank goodness, I hate politics it's all bullshit anyways.
"Congratulations on your promotion recommendation you three. I'm proud of all of you." Rias smiled at us and just from a look I knew she was pleased with us.
"Magnus, Kiba, Akeno. Congratulations!"
"Yes. This is good news. I'm proud to be able to call myself your friends."
"A Devil's middle-class promotion? I'm very interested in learning more about it!"
The Church-trio, Asia, Xenovia, and Irina are also extremely happy for us… Especially the former nun and the blue-haired girl… But that's more for me because once I'm a high-class they want to become apart of my peerage.
"I-I also want to improve to be like you and Kiba." Gasper said with a large smile as he looked at all of us
"I also want to get promoted quickly and have a stable and luxurious living." Rossweisse said which made me chuckle slightly, that isn't a bad reason to get promoted but come on you don't call this stable? You live in a freaking six-story mansion and you only have to pay for things you want.
"This team has become a group where my brother's peerage can't compete against." Ravel nodded with a happy smile…. Well yeah, I think by the time I had the completed form of dragoon mode I think we could have taken on Riser and his team and win hands down… You know speaking of the sub-species of my balance breaker I don't use it that often anymore… I better fix that.
Azazel chuckled slightly. "The oldest-son in the house of Phenex is a top player in rating game. His team has a good-balance."
"My oldest brother is the next heir of our house, it wouldn't look good if he wasn't strong. Putting that aside. This is something great. To be expected from Rias's servants. For three people to get a promotion in such a short-time. Isn't that, Koneko?" The blonde girl asked looking at her classmate.
Looking up Koneko nodded. "Of course, congratulations…." She's happy for us but she seems out of it … She's been like that all day… I just hope she's alright.
"Though soon the others will also receive a promotion. What you guys did is really magnificent. In terms of power, basically everyone is at a high-class devil level. Having servants like that in one group is very rare." Azazel drawing all of our attention… Holy crap we're all at high-class devil range?
Akeno and Kiba both stand and bow to Sirzechs. "Thank you very much for the promotion recommendation. This is a great honor which is too much for me. Lord Sirzechs Lucifer, I will take this promotion as a knight of Rias Gremory."
"I will also accept it as the queen of Gremory-group. I thank you deeply for acknowledging me for this promotion." Both of them responded and accepted the recommendation professionally.
"How about you Magnus?" Sirzechs asked me with a slightly raised eyebrow… Oh right I better respond… Slowly standing up I bowed to the man.
"Well if I don't take it I know there is some people that would be quite upset with me." I said with a grin on my face before shaking my head. "To tell you the truth I'm still shocked because it's something that I wasn't really expecting but I promise to live up to the faith you and Rias have in me big bro." Hey he wants me to call him big brother, so I might as, well right?
Chuckling the devil king smiled. "Thank you, Magnus, and can I say that I'm happy you two are finally dating? Because I am, just seeing your relationship progress this way has put me at peace about your future together." Wait was he talking about the engagement thing?
"Brother! You promised you wouldn't bring that up in front of Magnus." Rias stood up her face red with anger… She's cute when she's angry
"Hahaha, why not? Right, Grayfia?" Sirzechs asked looking at his wife… who was here on official business which meant she was in her maid uniform.
Grayfia the ever-cool customer decided to answer as professionally as possible. "I'm afraid as a servant in the service to the house of Gremory I have no right to say anything in this regard… However, in this situation it shouldn't be bad to speak of it."
"Even you Grayfia?" Rias sighed in defeat… You know maybe I should mention that I know about the engagement and just get this whole thing in the open… Then again if I do that then Kiba will get in trouble since he knew and wasn't supposed to tell me.
Sirzechs then nods his head happily and smiles at me. "You know I am glad you openly call me big brother, perhaps now I can start call you my little brother. What do you think?" However, before I could answer him Grayfia slapped her husband across the head with a fan…. Where did you get that Grayfia? She's Magic!
"Lord Sirzechs. You are going overboard in a situation like this. One day it will be alright for you to call him that." The silver-haired woman said staring down at her husband… Seriously? Just let the man call me that.
"Y… you are right. Rushing things are the bad trait of the males in Gremory..."
Azazel who had been watching this entire seen was laughing. Regaining his composure, the fallen angel looked at Kiba, Akeno and myself. "So, like that next week the three of you, will take the middle-class devil promotion test in the Underworld."
Huh that's kind of early if you ask me.
"Next week? That's pretty sudden." Kiba said with a small frown on his face.
"If I remember correctly the test for middle-class promotion includes writing a report, a written test and a practical correct? Putting the practical aside, we still have the report and the written test to worry about, I wonder what is on it?" Akeno said cupping her chin in thought.
That doesn't sound to bad. Frowning for a moment I had to
"Don't worry. If it's a written test, then you three will have no problem. It's basic knowledge and application problems for devils. Also, questions relating to the rating game are there as well, so it's not something new. For the report…. What do they have to write about?" Azazel asked as he looked at Grayfia for answers.
Taking cue from the fallen angel the silver-haired woman stepped up. "The report that has to be submitted on test day can be broken down into two parts. 'What will you do when you become a middle rank devil?' and write about your aim and greed as a theme. It's also popular to include 'What did you gain out of being a devil now?' in it as well."
Okay that didn't sound to bad… Looking at Azazel I had wonder. "So… Setting the report aside is the test scantron based or something loosely like that?
Sirzechs nodded at me and answered my question. "The majority of the devils taking the promotion tests are reincarnated devils. Because of that, we use the tests in the human world as a model."
That makes sense most of the devils being reincarnated today are humans or beings that live in the human world. So, it's understandable… However, the report I was a little concerned with, I am not really a devil and given the fact that I have to basically fake a report on a subject that I know nothing about… I wonder if this is what it's like to be in college?
"The report will be due on the test day, so have that as your first priority, now Magnus!" Azazel shouted drawing my attention. "The report for you is more of a formality but you will need to study for the written test. Even with that eidetic memory of yours I know for a fact you haven't touched up on a single book on the devil world since the summer. So, spend time studying everything you can this week got it?"
Rias then puts her hand on my shoulder with a smile. "Leave it to me, I will be sure to help him study."
"Magnus, I think it would be a good idea for us go over some of the test questions together."
"We should also study together."
Kiba and Akeno… Smiling I turned to face them. "Thanks, you guys, and since we're still on this subject what is the practical all about?"
Sirzechs, Grayfia, and Azazel all looked at one another. "You won't need to worry about that."
"You sure about that?" I asked looking at the fallen angel.
Azazel shook his head. "Just do the practical on the test day. Akeno. Kiba. You guys also don't need to worry about the practical so concentrate on the report and test."
Both responded with a yes, seriously guys? You're just going to accept that easily? Oh well… Wait now I just realized I had another question. "Last question if you don't mind, is it possible to lose the recommendation if we fail?"
Sirzechs shook his head. "No. That won't happen. Once you receive a recommendation, you will not lose it even if you fail the test next week. You can redo it as many times as you want. You won't lose your recommendation unless you score very badly."
Huh, neat at least we don't have to worry about that.
"I know that you will pass in next week's test. Magnus, I know you are still feeling uneasy because of the sudden recommendation but there's nothing you have to worry about. You have earned this." Sirzechs said to me with a smile… Thanks for the vote of confidence.
"Then I will do my best." Smiling back, I knew Sirzechs was right, but I still was uneasy about all this… I am not a devil despite the technicality. As I spent my time worrying about my position within the underworld Rossweisse stood to her to her feet.
"Now. Since the discussion is basically finished, I will take my leave." Wait she's leaving? That's a little strange.
Crossing my arms, I turned my head. "Taking a vacation?"
"Not exactly, I'm headed to Northern Europe. I'm thinking of returning home for a while." The silver-haired woman said which caused me to frown slightly… She's going home? Looking at my girlfriend I hopped she had some answers because I am lost.
"It's about "that" correct?" Rias asked… Great now things are being kept from me again.
Rossweisse silently nods. "Yes. Currently, I think I'm lacking power. There are many occasions where we have faced strong opponents. At the rate we are going, I will become a hindrance. I'm thinking about increasing the trait of my evil piece."
Oh… That makes sense… She's going to go and train… Ever since she joined our team things for her haven't always been easy for her. Granted she kicked all kinds of butt, however she still had some problems here and there… Even with the training she does with us hasn't helped… So maybe some special training for her will the former Valkyrie some good.
"Rossweisse, is there something you can rely on in Valhalla?" Azazel asked with his arms crossed.
"Yes. There is friend of mine who is a professional in that department. It seems like earning those points in magical-attacks during the Valkyrie candidate test has been in vain…." Rossweisse said looking down slightly. Don't feel bad Rossweisse I think you are plenty strong!
Azazel slightly shook his head. "Looking at the balance of Rias's team, it would be good to have someone who uses magic. It might have been good to use a bishop or pawn to increase her strong points. Rias your team has overwhelming fire-power but looking over your team, you have shallow defenses and can easily be taken down by tricks and techniques. In past games and actual battles, your opponents aimed for those. In other words, the whole team has muscles even in their brains. Most of your strategies have been beat them before they beat us. Covering those parts with magic would be a good thing."
Everyone nodded a little bitterly at that… While it is true in the past I think we have been rather good lately.
Sirzechs speaks up. "There are many fans that prefer teams like your group. Strategy-type teams and technique-type teams are hard to judge at first glance and lack extreme fights, but expert fans like them."
Azazel nods with a small grin. "So, Rias and Sairaorg's teams should use their flashy fights to attract an audience while improving their strategies. That way in the future, the professional games will be just as heated." Of course, that makes since, we should become a mix of both types, so we can entertain both sides. "Either way, you need certain type of support to back up those powers. So, will it be alright to send Rossweisse to Valhalla, Rias?"
"Yes. If there are certain areas they want to improve, then there is no reason for me to decline it." Rias agreed.
Rossweisse smiles gratefully. "Thank you very much. Ah. I have also prepared the test paper for the mid-term, so no need to worry about that."
Rias and Akeno nodded but that is when it hit me… The mid-term? I had completely pushed it off… With all the crap going on here I forgot all about the mid-term which was supposed to have not long after the school festival… I am pretty sure I can pass but damn it all I haven't even begun to study for it.
Groaning I gripped my head and sighed. "I can't believe that forgot about the test… Damn it there isn't enough time in the freaking day in between training, and everything else I do… "Letting out a defeated sigh I felt Kiba pat me on the back. "I really need help with my schedule…"
"Ravel, our discussion from earlier will you accept?" Sirzechs asked drawing my attention… What did they talk about?
"Of course, Lord Sirzechs! Ravel jumped up with a smile on her face.
"I hate to ask but what is going on?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
The devil king smiled at me. "Yes. I'm thinking of making Ravel your assistant, well your manager."
Blinking I looked at Azazel who had a small smirk on his face… Did he bring this up to him?
"Magnus, you are very busy both in studies here in the human world, and the entertainment industry in the Underworld. Grayfia manages the schedule for the Gremory team, but she's still just one person. So, there are matters that she can't handle on her own. Especially in simple matters. So, I thought it would be better to give you a personal manager from now on. That's why I picked Ravel, for her connections. She is studying here in the human world and she has ties to the underworld."
She is my support? That is awesome! Finally, someone that can help me balance all the things I have to do… Ever since that tv show The Dragon Knight came out in the underworld I became a celebrity among the children there… Hell according to Azazel most kids in all the factions watch the show… Which meant that I am a big deal… And because of the show I had to do tons of appearances among other things… It was kind of a pain.
"I'm sorry for bringing this up all of a sudden, but Ravel I want you to support Magnus and help him with promotion test." Sirzechs asked the small blonde girl who stood up with a large smile.
"I understand. Leave it to me, I will definitely make sure Magnus gets promoted! I shall collect the essential books and such now!" With that said Ravel left the room in high spirits… I think I saw a literal skip in her step as she left.
"For Ravel, your promotion will affect her future life greatly." Azazel gave me a toothy grin… Wait you don't mean? Seeing the nod my mentor gave me I sighed… That's another person who will be joining me when I finally become a high-ranking devil… That's three now. "Koneko. If you let your guard down, the man you love will be taken away by Ravel." Azazel teased the small girl, but she didn't react not at all… It was like her mind was a million miles away.
Frowning I looked at the small girl with a worried expression. What's wrong Koneko?
A few days had passed since Ravel had become my manager and things were… Well not bad I would say but they were interesting the small blonde girl really made my life a lot easier that's for damn sure. Everything was perfectly scheduled from my studying time to training to even taking care of the girls. It certainly made things easier on me. Ravel certainly knew how to do these kind of things… You know if she wasn't a bishop already I would consider making her the queen of my group when I became a high-ranking devil… Wow and I am already starting to consider crap like that… Shaking my head I slowly laid my head down on my desk and closed my eyes.
Despite the fact that Ravel made things easier on me didn't mean she was a harsh task master… see there is a curse with having an eidetic memory like mine… I can retain knowledge a lot easier then most people but because of that Ravel is forcing me to learn all kinds of things… Whether they were necessary for the promotion test or not… She wanted to make sure that I was prepared for everything and anything that the test could throw at me. Then there was the midterm to consider…
Groaning I gripped my head. "I wonder if Ravel will be upset with me if I decided to take a nap…" As I thought about taking a nap in my desk I felt two shadows standing over me. Looking up I saw the perverted duo of Motohama and Matsuda.
"Yo dude you alright?" Motohama asked with a raised eyebrow.
The teen with glasses pushed his up his nose. "Yeah the last couple of days you seemed really burnt out."
Rubbing the bridge of my nose I slowly sat up and stretched out. "Been studying like crazy for the midterm… Plus I have a new schedule which is kicking my butt."
Matsuda laughed and smiled. "You could use a break, and focus your attention on other things. Here look!" reaching into school bag the teen pulled out… a dvd… And it was porno… Of course, it was.
Staring at the cover I sighed at the name. "Who in the hell names this crap? True Big-breasted Squadron Paiotsujya… Seriously? Are you guys even old enough to buy this stuff?
Motohama's glasses began to shine, which was weird. "There are many ways my friend and I sacrificed much to get my hands on it. This dvd is rare."
Matsuda wraps his arm around my neck with a grin. "Hey Magnus, you need a break why not come to my house and we all can watch this film."
Well first of all I don't watch that kind of crap… Yeah, I am a teenage guy, but I never was interested IN that kind of thing… Call me old fashioned but that is how I felt about it and to be honest it would be freaking weird if a bunch of guys gathered around in one room and watched porn… That's just gay. However, I did recognize an olive branch when I saw it… Despite how I pranked these two they thought I was a friend and during the Kyoto trip they acted like normal guys and not super perverts… Maybe I should consider hanging with them… I mean we did go to karaoke that one time and it was pretty fun.
"Okay guys… We can hang out but we're not doing that… Why not just go to the arcade or something and play some video games?" I asked looking at the two boys who thought it over but nodded in agreement somewhat reluctantly.
However, as I was speaking the dvd was taken from the boy with the shaved head… Looking up I sighed seeing Aika, the brown-haired girl hadn't changed at all since unlike the two guys. "Well, well look at this? You guys planning on having a party? Well can anyone join in? What about you Asia you want in?"
Sighing I looked next to the pervert girl and saw Asia who was blushing up a storm…. This won't end well, that's for damn sure… and I was right as Xenovia came up and looked over the cover.
"Ah Yes. Last time I watched one of these videos it was Asia and Irina. Though I am curious why do in all the videos no matter what why do they all end in sex?" Xenovia asked as Irina appeared right next to her… What the hell? You guys are watching porn? Turning my gaze to Aika I saw the brown-haired girl turn away and whistle innocently… Damn it I really should have nipped their friendship in the bud a while ago.
"Rias and Akeno told me that having the right atmosphere is necessary." Irina explained to the blue-haired girl.
"Hmm… Atmosphere huh? You certainly need it, that's for sure. So, you are saying that just making love won't allow us to be satisfied like we are 'women'. That's what you mean right Irina?" Xenovia asked causing the angel to blush brightly.
"Wait! Don't shift the topic like this to a Christian like me! Something terrible will happen… Yet I do have an interest in it...! Please forgive this complicated mind of a maiden of mine lord!" Dropping to her knees Irina began to pray for forgiveness.
As this was going on I tried to process this information… Rias, Akeno, Asia, Irina and Xenovia all watch porn? Seriously? I can't even begin to comprehend this… But it would explain a few things and with Aika acting like the devil' on their shoulder, whispering in their ear… This isn't good…. However, before anything out outrageous could happen again and I decided to leave.
"Now as fun and… enlightening as this conversation has been I need to get going." Standing to my feet I gently placed a hand on Asia's shoulder. "Asia please stop watching that crap…. That goes for all of you girls… It's a little strange for me… Aika stop trying to corrupt those three seriously." Sighing I left the classroom without another word and headed to the home economics room and once there I summoned my sacred gear and stared down at the gauntlet.
"Ddraig how in the world should I be deal with this?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Your own your own partner, having a harem is never easy. However, you may as well let it happen. These girls want to make you happy and they think this is what you want. Plus, ever since you started a relationship with Gremory they will try extra hard to get your attention. Remember what happened when the child of lighting and Gremory tried to seduce you?"
Groaning loudly, I nodded my head… Rias and Akeno tried to see what I liked more… a sexy tutor or a cheating house wife… To say that it ended well would be a lie. Seriously they both went way to overboard and ended up knocking me out when they started to fight. "Yeah… Seriously and now all the other girls are trying even harder… I mean don't get me wrong I care for all of them in that way, but they really go overboard."
"You possess the power and aura of a dragon kid; all dragon type users have these problems in one way or another. You'll just have to get used to it, in fact I would say it will get worse." The dragon began to laugh at me… Seriously Ddraig your supposed to be my friend and ally on this matter.
As I was dealing with my issues someone came into the room. "Yo Magnus."
"Hey Saji." I waved at the blonde.
"So that's why I heard Ddraig laughing." Saji had a small smirk on his face.
After finding me in the home economics room Saji invited me back to the student council room to talk about why was my dragon laughing so much. "At least I don't have these problems with Vritra, he tends to keep quite… Unless we're going to be fighting that is when he gets excited." The blonde said as he took a sip form his green tea.
"Well no one said being with dragons would be easy right?" I said with a sigh as I slowly drank from the cup of tea Saji gave me a while ago.
"Yeah. You are right". Nodding the blonde pawn leaned back relaxing before he realized something. "Oh yeah, I heard about your recommendation for the promotion, congrats." He said holding his cup up to me in a salute.
"Thanks man." Smiling I sighed slightly. "Trust me I really don't think I deserve this though… You know given the fact I'm human and all? Though now that I think about it… You deserve one as well dude. You were there when we fought Loki and during the Kyoto incident… Hell a lot of you guys deserve one."
"Well thank you Magnus, but come on we all know that without you or the others I really doubt we would have survived." Saji smiled at me with a shrug. "Plus, no offense to my friends or even myself we aren't as strong as you guys." Saji sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Don't all of you have the power of high-class devils? So, shouldn't you be promoted to high class?"
Shaking my head, I set the cup down. "No, they want us to go through the system first and be middle-class first."
"Hmm, so the higher-up's don't want to do what's right? Sona said that you, Kiba, and Akeno should have been made high-class devils already." Saji said…And not surprisingly he wasn't the only one. Azazel did as well hell even Sirzechs wanted us to be high-class already… So strange… Though for me it was mostly a political move… I think though if they ever find a way to make me a full devil again then I think the promotion was more than acceptable. "You and Kiba are especially crazy strong. I asked Kiba to train with me. He was too strong, I was barely able to get him. Kiba is like a role-model of a technique-type in my opinion. You two train together all the time, right? You're a monster you know that?
"Trust me I know… Though your power is nothing to sneeze at either man." I said pointing at him with a smile. "You can become a dragon king, I really doubt I could stand up to those cursed flames of yours."
Looking down Saji sighed a little bitterly. "Thanks, but I need to get stronger, so I can get promoted too… And I also want to get stronger with the others in my group. Lately Sona has been talking with the Grigori about artificial sacred gears."
Blinking in surprise I slowly leaned forward. "Really? That's interesting."
"Yeah, we often participate in the experiments for Azazel. As a result, next time one of the non-sacred gear possessors of our group is going to be equipped with an artificial sacred gear." Saji explained with a grin on his face, I guess this was pretty exciting for him talk about. "There are also lots of variations in artificial sacred gears as well. It's not like I'm getting one, but it's fun to know about them you know? It begins with Power or Support type. Then Element-types, Counter-types, Barrier-types and those have many variations. Also, just like our sacred gears there are ones that have monsters sealed in them, even by contract as well."
Leaning back, I nodded. "Just like Azazel who made a deal with the dragon king Fafnir, you know I am curious about what other kind of legendary creatures or monsters make those kinds of deals." As we were talking the other members of the Sitri group came into the room.
"Oh, hello Magnus." Reya greeted me before smiling at me. "Congratulations for your promotion recommendation!" The other members also began to congratulate following after Reya.
Smiling I nodded my head at the girls. "Thanks, I appreciate it girls."
Rurkuko then came up to Saji… If I remember correctly she fought against Koneko during the rating game. "Saji, President Sona wanted you to go get a document… She said you know the one."
Standing his feet Saji nodded. "Ah, right. Roger Rurkuko." But before Saji could leave the silver haired bishop Momo came up to him.
"Saji I also have business from the president for you."
Sighing Saji shook his head. "Are you serious? Looks like I have lots of things to do… First, let's do the tasks that are easier to finish. Magnus, I have to get going but feel free to hang around and talk with the others." As Saji left the room, both Momo and Rurkuko following him.
If it wasn't plain to see those girls had a thing for Saji and from what I was told by Reya and Tsubasa that those two girls fought over Saji… A lot. To make matters worse the poor guy didn't even notice it because he had eyes for Sona… Maybe I should point it out to him and try to give him advice. Reaching down for my tea I slowly took a sip when the rook Tsubasa came up to me with a paper and a pen.
"Magnus, can I have your autograph?" She asked with a smile.
Blinking in confusion I nodded and grabbed the paper and pen and signed it for her… I knew she had a crush on me and to be honest I couldn't comprehend it. She said it had to do with my fight with Sairaorg and said I was her type…When she first told me this I was worried that other girls in the Sitri group would have a thing for me but luckily, I was wrong, because the knight of the group Tomoe had a thing for Gasper… She liked younger guys.
"Young boys are good." She said in a deadpan tone.
"I definitely prefer Kiba." Reya spoke up… Yeah and she isn't the only one Tsubaki also has a thing for Kiba ever since he saved her during the fight against Loki.
Rubbing my chin, I smiled with a thought. "Hey Reya if you want I can put a good word in with you for Kiba."
Reya's eyes went at my suggestion. "Really? Thanks, but could you do that for Tsubaki first, she really loves Kiba."
Sighing I lowered my head… I did already but the guy just blew it off… Seriously I am a little worried about Kiba… He denies all form of female compassion ship in that form and I don't think it's because he is gay… No, I think it has to do with his past… He can't forgive himself… In many ways he reminds of a sword without a sheath… It's very sad.
"So, Magnus Maverick came to visit." Walking into the room was Sona.
Smiling slightly, I bowed my head at her. "Don't mind me I was just leaving."
Sona nodded at me before turning her attention toward the others in the room. "I know we have a guest, but I need you all to do run an errand for me. Tsubaki is having a hard time dealing with the clubs so can you give her a hand."
"Yes!" Everyone replied to her orders and they all started to leave the room. "Bye Magnus." The girls said… Thus, I was left alone in the room with Sona…. This is really strange because I think this is the first time we have been alone together… Ever. Sona was going through some documents at her desk so I might as well leave, don't want to be a bother or anything.
"I heard that you confessed to Rias."
…. So much for me leaving. "Did she tell you?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes. I have been friends with her since we were small. Lately we talk about her love life through magical circles." The girl with the glasses looking up at me.
Rubbing the back of my head I smiled slightly… However, the awkward silence still remained in the room.
"It seems like you can do everything that I couldn't do." Sona said with a small sigh.
Blinking I turned my head in confusion. "… What do you mean?"
"The engagement incident with Riser. The problem with Kiba, helping Gasper, Koneko and Akeno… You lessened Rias's burdens. I have known Rias longer than you, yet I couldn't do anything even though I 'm her friend. All because I'm a high-class devil or because it's the devils custom. I couldn't overcome these obstacles because I was captured by those facts I couldn't do anything because of the place I stand at and the way people around me will look at me." Sona followed her hands together and rested her chin on her hands.
From the way she was talking it seems like she has been thinking about this for a long time.
"You solved them without thinking about those facts and I was very happy about it… but I was also very jealous. You can solve every problem that I couldn't. That's why I want to give you my gratitude. Thank you for saving Rias. Magnus please take care of Rias. She can be stubborn, and short tempered at times but she's more delicate than anyone. She needs someone who can support her by her side. That's why I want to leave this task to you."
Staring at Sona I slowly nodded at her. "Of course, you know Rias is important to me Sona… You know it's weird I think this is the first time we have had an extended conversation that didn't involve me breaking some rule or something."
Sona gave me a small smile. "It is but believe it or not Magnus I consider you a friend, for if Rias is in love with you. Well you can't be all bad."
I started to smile slightly. "Thanks, I think?" Turning my head, I stared at the glasses wearing girl. "You know I consider you one as well believe it not, despite how we interact with one another."
"Speaking of that, I had to deal with the aftermath of some of your handy work the other day." Sona said with a small glare. "How did you ever rig those cans of silly string to go off in the showers?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about." I said staring at her with a blank expression, before the both of us started to laugh… This has been a familiar dance but with a different ending. Normally this kind of conversation would end with me just walking away after she asked me how I pulled off a prank. Yet now? We just laughed… I think this was a big step for the both of us.
After a little bit Sona stopped laughing and sighed out quietly. "Maybe I should get a boyfriend…"
You know I don't think she heard me Oh well I might as well try and put a good word in for my friend. "How about Saji?"
The student council president shook her head, but I saw a small flush on her cheeks. "There are servants of mine who have feelings for him, I wouldn't even dare lay a hand on him." Sorry buddy looks like Sona isn't willing to make a move on you. At least not yet who knows maybe Sona will change her mind. As I was thinking over my friend's love life Sona brought me back to reality. "Also about the game. It was magnificent, for you to defeat that Sairaorg Bael. Your growth sure does astonish me."
Chuckling I rubbed the back of my head. "Thanks, but I couldn't have done it alone. Also, congrats on your match as well, I watched the replays of it and spoke to Saji about it. You guys did amazing."
"Still you did well Magnus, and thank you it was a team victory." The student council president bowed her head at me. "So, to end our conversation I will leave Rias in your hands Magnus and I heard about your recommendation congratulations and do your best on your test I have high expectations for you."
"Thanks." Waving at the Sitri heir I left the room.
Later, that night I was eating dinner with Rias in the
living room and I decided to tell her about my conversation with Sona. "So Sona mentioned something like that to you."
Nodding my head, I leaned back against the couch. "I am curious about one thing… Doesn't Sona have a fiancé? Like you did? She is from a noble house and the next heir of the Sitri."
"She did." Rias said as she leaned against my shoulder for a moment.
Raising an eyebrow, I turned my head. "Did?"
"She also broke it off like I did. It happened a bit before you came into my life. She apparently challenged him to a game of chess and if she won the engagement would be broken off, but if she were to lose she had to quit school and get married immediately. She decided not to marry someone who can't use his brain like her." The red-head explained to me. "She won the game with an overwhelming difference in pieces and shattered her fiancé's pride. It's brain power that allowed Sona to win against Seekvaira Agares in tactics. Normal people can't win against her. If I have a game of chess with her now, I will lose more than win."
"Wow… She's that smart huh?" Damn that is impressive, makes me wonder just how dangerous she could be in a life or death battle. As I was thinking Rias drew my attention back to her with some interesting news.
"Oh yes. Sona did say that she found someone new for her remaining knight and rook pieces. She's negotiating with them."
Really? They are going to increase their numbers? That's kind of exciting I wonder who they are.
"Now Magnus." Ravel appeared in the living room carrying a stack of books, placing the books on the coffee table the blonde brushed some hair out of her face. "I gathered reference books for your promotion test, and I grabbed plenty of study material for your midterm."
Wow… Just looking over the books I had to admit they're was a lot of them… Way more than last time. "Thank you Ravel I appreciate it."
"Looks like it's time to study for the test." Akeno came into the room with a small giggle, and she was followed by the church trio and Kiba who was just back from a job.
"Oh, it's time for studying is it?"
"I should study, I am a little behind in some subjects."
"I'm studying as well, I want to earn my good grades."
As everyone sat around the coffee table we all grabbed the books that they needed. Akeno and I were studying for the promotion test, while the others were studying for the midterm. I would join them after I had finished the studying for the promotion test.
Rias reached for a book near me and opened it up but stopped and looked around with a worried expression. "Is Koneko still not feeling well?"
Frowning I shook my head. "No, she went back to back to her room, but I will check on her later."
"… You know insomnia is a curse, but it comes in handy for studying." We had finished studying just a little while ago and I was now laying on my bed alone for a change... Well not totally Noble was with me but he was asleep on the floor. "Seriously you have no idea how lucky you have it Noble, you get to sleep and eat all day and never really have to worry about anything." If the massive dragon could speak I'm sure he would have said something but instead he just growled out something. "Love you too buddy… You know if your lucky Rias may bring you a snack along with mine."
After finishing studying, Rias and the other girls went to the kitchen to make snacks for all of us, which was sweet… Hell Rias stayed up late with me to help me study… Which was really sweet of her though she did leave her classes a lot to sleep in the nurses office… I love that girl, but she pushes herself way to hard. You know I should tell her to go to bed early tonight. Though knowing her she will argue with me…. Still I should make the attempt. Getting off my bed and stepping over Noble I headed for the door but stopped as someone opened it.
It was Koneko… As she came into the room I could she was using a white cloth to cover herself and her cat ears and tail out were out. "Hey Koneko you feeling okay-"I stopped talking as she came closer her face was completely red and to be honest she was looking at me like I was a piece of meat… and to be honest she looked hungry.
Slowly the small girl dropped the cloth to reveal… She was completely naked…. "The hell?" Blushing brightly, I tried to turn away but Koneko pushes me onto the ground and climbs on top of me, her breath was hot and heavy, her skin was covered in a light sweat. Slowly she whispered into my ear. "Magnus… I can't… control it…" Slowly she guided my hand to her breast and that is when I started to freak out. No, no, no Koneko don't tell me you were watching porn with the rest of girls? Bad kitty! That's a very bad kitty…
"…. Meow…" She pawed gently at me… Aw that's kind of cute… Wait no this is bad I will remain in control of myself!
Seriously what in the hell is going on? Koneko why have you gone crazy?
"… I want Magnus's…Ba…"
"Ba?" I said in confused… Could she be saying what I think she is saying? Please dear lord no.
"Baby."
…. When in the hell did she become Xenovia? Staring at Koneko I couldn't even begin to comprehend what was going on but luckily, I didn't have to as Rias came into the room… Thank goodness, I'm saved! The crimson haired beauty looked at me then at Koneko and quickly she rushes over and turns the small girl around to face. Gently touching her neck, and then looking in her eyes Rias sighed and gently touched her stomach. Cupping her chin in thought Rias nodded and pulled out her phone.
"…. You remember the Tennis-club captain, Kiyome right?"
Nodding my head, I couldn't help but remember the girl. "Yeah, I do, what about her?" I asked in confusion.
"I will call her. Kiyome is more knowledgeable than us about Nekomata." Rias said her expression extremely serious… Whatever is going on it is pretty bad…
"Rias… What's happening to her?" I asked with a concerned expression.
"I have an idea, but I rather have an expert look at her first." Turning around Rias called Kiyome.
Sighing I looked down at Koneko as she rubbed her head against my chest. "What's wrong Koneko…"
