English is not my first language
...
"Prince Rigr".
"You are a unique being."
"Only you can reach the state, which many people long to reach, but none will."
"You are a being whose greatness cannot be measured.
"You are a perfect being."
Rigr Stafford woke up from her dreams, when that voice that Rigr recognized but wanted and preferred to forget.
The first thing Rigr noticed when he woke up was that he was naked.
The silver-haired young man thought, 'At what point do I take my clothes off? The Stafford continued the line of thought as he lifted the sheet from his bed to find his clothes.
When he lifted the sheet he came across something... quite unusual.
Rias Gremory, one of the most beloved idols at Kuoh Academy, was in his bed asleep next to him, but that wasn't the most shocking thing. The most shocking is that she, like the Stafford, was completely naked.
Rigr trembled slightly when Rias moved during her sleep and her large bust moved and the Stafford had a full view of the beautiful landscape next to him.
Anyone would be thrilled to have a beauty like Rias by their side, or even blush, but Rigr did not blush at the beautiful sight she had, Rigr remembered what happened the night before. And he knew better than anyone that it was not a dream.
Rigr almost swore she could hear a funny voice in her head telling her. "Welcome back to the supernatural world."
Should I lift it?' Rigr asked herself mentally. Focusing his gaze on Rias' face.
Adorable' was Rigr's first thought when she saw Rias' peaceful face, she looked too adorable in her sleep.
Rigr sigh.
The best thing would be to let her sleep, it was still very early, and there were still several hours left before class.
The young Stafford got up from his bed, gave a little yawn as he stretched.
'Well, now the priority will be to find some clothes' Razono Rigr.
…
Rias Gremory let out a drowsy moan as the sunlight focused on his eyes. He frowned slightly because of it.
He opened his eyes, only to realize that it was already daylight, and there were only a few hours left before school. She realized that she was in Rigr's house, specifically in her room, she knew why, because she had to heal him to save him, but the wound was too serious and therefore it took too long and when she was done it was too late and therefore she decided to stay in her house.
Not that there was much problem, she had saved his life without having the need to do so and apart from that now Rigr was part of his nobility and therefore she considered him part of her family now.
The red haired girl heard some footsteps, not far from her, Rigr's room was too big for one person, it had a double bed, shelves with many books, a table with a chess set, a TV and a console, a desk where Rigr could possibly do her homework, a balcony with great views of the city and a private bathroom for Rigr where the footsteps Rias had heard came from.
Certainly Rigr's parents had to be rich because this was not just any average house, it was a house that would normally belong to a wealthy family. But Rias, thinking about the Stafford Parents, realized something, and that is that there was not a single family photo.
But before she could get her head around it, Rigr came out of the bathroom and Rias immediately blushed.
Just by hearing the name Rigr Stafford one knew for sure that Rigr was not Japanese but came from another country. But when Rias saw him he deduced a couple of countries where Rigr could have come from. By the Stafford surname, Rias pointed out that Rigr must have been from the United Kingdom more specifically England, but by her hair color Rigr must have descended from Nordic countries.
Rigr was lying on the bathroom door frame, looking at Rias with her typical monotonous expression, Rias was sitting on the bed, the sheet was reaching her waist exposing her huge breasts, but Rigr didn't blush a bit from the view.
Rias could understand why people were so attracted to Rigr, if she didn't care more about things like personality and what he would be like as a couple, the young Gremory would have fallen into Rigr's arms.
Rigr has silvery white hair that was slightly damp at the time, her hair was shiny due to the sunlight, her hair was always messy, but that was not something against her but it gave a natural touch to her attractiveness, she has bangs over her eyes that sometimes shadow her expression, especially when she is upset or angry. He has sapphire blue eyes that look like jewels, of a clear and brilliant shade, those eyes seemed to reflect the light of the sun itself, his eyes seemed to shine as if they were captivating sapphires, in turn those eyes also shone very beautifully that Rias did not know if it was because of the sun or were typical of his eyes, but his eyes released a mysterious glow in them, the face of Rigr fascinatingly beautiful. He is tall Rias deduced that his height must be approximately one meter and seventy-five centimeters, his body is slim but muscular and attractive. Rigr was dressed in tunics that looked Greek and gave vision to his chest and part of his abdomen, Rigr had scars all over his body, for the age Rias thought they were too many.
Little did Rias know, that Rigr's great-grandfather was once called the most beautiful Angel in heaven, who for a time had been the strongest, most God-like Seraphim in the Bible.
"You could cover up you know" Rigr spoke with his gaze fixed on Rias' face.
"I don't care if you see me naked," Rias confessed naturally.
"You should care" declared Rigr as she squinted slightly.
"Should" I accept Rias with a little smile. "But you are my family now, so I don't care if you see me naked." continued the young Gremory.
"Ah" Rigr I can't help but sound confused and give the young lady an incredulous look.
"We are demons, and I am your mistress." Rias explained easily.
That didn't take away Rigr's look of disbelief. "You know, it would help if you had a little tact for these situations, like this." Said the young man with the silvery white hair.
Before Rias could speak Rigr continued. "The shower is ready in case you need to take a bath, it is still early so you have plenty of time, there is hot water. I'll wait for you downstairs with breakfast" were Rigr's words and then she left the room.
Rias could only sigh.
… .
Rias came out after a long shower.
As Rigr said, there was still plenty of time for her to start classes, so she went down to the first floor of Rigr's house.
The crimson-haired girl came down wearing only a young Stafford T-shirt that was a little too big for her, just enough to cover up her attributes and make them stand out.
Rias heard Rigr putting the finishing touches on breakfast, while that was happening she decided to explore a little bit the house of her new gentleman.
This is too big for one person' was the thought that Rias had when he saw the house.
There was no family memory, no old photo to tell you what Rigr looked like as a child, just an empty, lonely house with many rooms available.
Rigr's life must have been a very lonely one.
"Rias" The crimson-haired young woman heard Rigr's voice calling her.
She headed for the dining room, one too big for eight people to eat at once. Breakfast was served at the table.
That breakfast was a simple thing to do, but it had so many details that its presentation on the plate was simply amazing.
"Did you do this?" asked the young Gremory, surprised at how good her dish looked.
"Eh... yes. Do you see any servants around here?" Rigr declared as he put a plate of Ramen on his side.
"Are you going to eat Ramen?" He questioned Rias as he sat at the table.
"Yes, I'm provoking Ramen and I made you breakfast as a thank you for saving me" Rigr replied while he was also sitting down.
"Do you remember everything from yesterday?" Rias asked as she prepared to eat, though she sounded a little surprised.
"With luxury and detail" answered Rigr as she started to eat her Ramen.
"So I guess you want answers?" I speak Rias while she also started eating
"Yes, but let's eat first" declared Rigr before Rias took the first bite of his food.
As his taste buds tasted Rigr's food they were splendidly delighted by the good taste, and Rias quickly took another bite, and another, and another. Honestly this food was too good. It was only a matter of a few minutes before they both finished eating.
"How does your food taste so good?" Rias asked, exhausted after she finished eating.
"My legal guardian is the best at making strange inventions, with long names and a horrible taste, let's say it's his number one hobby, so it was learn to cook or die trying" Rigr replied as he brought some cold tea he had made for both of them.
"Thank you" Rias spoke when he took his cup of tea, took a sip and certainly his tea tasted good enough to accompany food perfectly, but he compared it to Akeno's tea, Rigr's tea was mediocre.
"You said, your legal guardian? What about your parents?" Rias asked curiously and slightly regretted it.
The air in the dining room got slightly cold.
Rigr's eyes were normally glowing in an ice-like manner, icy and monotonous turned to a more icy, at the mention of her parents.
There was an awkward silence between them, until Rigr spoke.
"My parents"? Well, I've only seen my father four or five times in my life and I really don't want to see that bastard," replied Rigr, his normally monotonous and unemotional voice had taken on a colder and more poisonous tone. "And my mother died when I was little, a long time ago." The young Stafford continued, and his tone changed from cold and poisonous to extremely melancholy.
"I am sorry" Rias apologized as quickly as she could, her cheeks were flushed with the stupidity she had done, she better than anyone knows how delicate a relationship a son can be with his parents as Akeno was proof of that.
"Easy, you didn't know," said Rigr, albeit in his usual monotone.
Another uncomfortable silence fell between them for a few seconds.
"What time did you get up?" I question Rias trying to eliminate the uncomfortable silence.
"About two hours ago" Rigr replied as he sipped his cup of tea.
"Why didn't you pick me up?" Rias asked, confused.
"Because you looked so adorable in your sleep, you were having a very good dream apparently," replied Rigr as he shrugged slightly.
Rias had a very light blush on her cheeks, and yes, she had certainly had a good dream, a dream where she was free from her commitment to Raiser.
"Rias" called Rigr while the red-haired young woman came out of her thoughts.
"Tell me." I speak Rias with interest in what the Stafford would say.
"Keep talking about the demons all of them" Rigr commented, with his gaze fixed on Rias.
Right, I'd forgotten,' thought Rias, somewhat surprised, she'd completely forgotten about it, she'd forgotten that she was a demon, she felt like a girl her own age talking and sharing breakfast with another boy her own age.
Rias formed a smile. "Well, as I told you, you are a demon now, and I am your mistress." Rias declared as Rigr nodded.
"The black-winged women who killed you yesterday They were fallen angels. Once angels serve God, they descend to the underworld because of their evil nature. They're trying to manipulate humans and destroy us demons. Since primitive times, they have been in a constant struggle for the dominion of the underworld, or hell, as humans call it. There are also normal angels, coming here on God's orders to hunt demons. In other words, we have a three-part scenario. Is that clear enough?" Rias explained extensively to the Stafford.
Rigr stared at Rias.
"I know it's hard to believe, usually people when told this go into denial" Rias said.
"I believe you" were Rigr's words.
"Yes, I understand you're in denial, but what I just told you is the truth..." Rias started when Rigr's words finally reached his brain. "Wait. What? You believe me?" I question the surprised red-haired young woman as Rigr nodded. "Why?" Rias asked, confused.
"How do you heal someone with a big wound that opens his abdomen?" Rigr replied while Rias nodded in agreement.
"But why did you revive me as a demon?" I question Rigr with curiosity.
"For what you did for Isabella, this is your payment for making my friend happy." I confess Rias with a smile.
"This young lady was willing to waste an Evil Piece on anyone who would tell one of her friends happiness,' Rigr thought as she looked at Rias and then closed her eyes for a few moments. I don't know if it's stupidity or ignorance. I bet it's both.' She continued her thoughts, Rigr, when a few words from the past
"My dear grandson, listen to my words carefully. Demons are beings that have to be evil, brutal, scummy, bad, wrong and vicious. A demon copying what a hero does? Hero? That's what "justice" would do. You know, be like humans and angels? And what are we? Do you know that we are evil and wicked existences? Then isn't it obvious what we have to do?" As quickly as those words came to his mind Rigr squeezed the tea cup without knowing it.
"Rigr!" Exclamed Rias making Rigr come out of his thoughts.
"I was talking to you, and you weren't paying attention, I even called you several times and you didn't pay attention to me" explained Rias a bit furiously. "Something was bothering you." Rias continued while Rigr got up from the table.
"It's too late, Gremory-San. We have to change to go to class, the earlier we get there the better, the less people will see us, two very famous people arriving together is a big deal" commented Rigr and as fast as he could he left without answering Rias' question.
…
To say that when Rias and Rigr arrived at the academy they formed a stir, was an understatement.
All eyes were on them, every man was looking at Rigr with hatred for arriving at the academy accompanied by one of the greatest Rias Gremory idols. And the women had divided reactions, some looking at Rias with hate and others looking at the couple with admiration.
"Damn pretty boy, it wasn't enough to have all the girls after you. No, you had to get your hands on Rias-Senpai. Bastard! I hope you die!" Rigr heard a male voice say that.
Well... actually I almost died yesterday and she saved me,' Rigr thought with some amusement.
"Ah... look at them, Rias-Oneesama and Prince Rigr seem to shine with a light of perfection, they certainly are a perfect couple, I cannot help but be jealous and happy at the same time" declared a female voice.
'What kind of a high school student's thoughts is that? Oh, that's right, I'm in a high school.' Rigr reflected, then let out a light sigh.
His gaze turned to Rias who was walking with his head held high and a smile on his face.
It is so beautiful... It is normal that it is so admired and desired' Medito Rigr in silence.
"Rigr!" I exclaimed a familiar voice that came quickly.
Isabella flew like a bullet into the arms of Rigr, who lost his balance due to the crash. The two of them rolled several meters along the ground like a ball.
"Ouch" commented Rigr somewhat sore as he had taken most of the impact.
Isabella was on top of Rigr in a suggestive pose.
"This... I'm sorry." Isabella quickly apologized and then got up.
Rigr sat down on the floor.
"Isabella!" A voice spoke out loud, in a scolding tone. Grayfia was approaching.
"I'm sorry," repeated Isabella in shame.
Rias bent down to catch up with Rigr. "Are you okay?" Rias asked with concern.
"If..." Rigr replied as she got up from the floor.
"Because you have to be so reckless" declared Grayfia as she watched her sister.
"I..." Isabella's gaze fell to the floor.
"It's all right Grayfia-Sensei, there was no damage to anyone, so there's no need to worry or scold," said Rigr, but a certain part of his mind was thinking about something else.
"Are you all right?" Now it was Isabella's turn to ask that, as she approached Rigr she looked for injuries, especially in the abdomen, as if she were worried about last night's wound.
"I'm fine, nothing happened" assured Rigr as he watched Isabella take one look at Rias.
Rigr took advantage of this to start her way to class.
"Rigr, I'll send someone to pick you up, after class" confessed Rias.
But the Stafford was distracted in his thoughts.
His mind went straight to the moment of the fall with Isabella, just before he made the first turn on the floor, Rigr saw how the young Einfolk was going to get a hard blow on the head and unconsciously the silver-white-haired young man moved his right hand to receive all the impact on her.
Rigr lifted the sleeve of his right arm slightly to show a horrible blow to it.
Why did I defend her?' Rigr asked herself as she walked down the aisle.
'She means nothing to, I...' Rigr meditated and came up with an answer. "It's because she looks like my mother." The Stafford concluded.
It was also perhaps that which made her take a look at the city, perhaps. Rigr didn't know exactly, maybe it was genuine kindness, maybe it was because she looked like her mother, maybe it was both.
Agh... These emotions are complicated,' Rigr thought as he held his head in his left hand and grimaced.
He shook his head quickly and cleared his mind of those thoughts, he had enough to torture himself to add another.
He still had a whole day ahead of him.
….
"So, is that them?" I ask a slim-figured young woman with short black hair, purple eyes and glasses to Rias. The young woman was lying on one of the pillars of the academy as she looked at Rias.
The young Gremory was surprised to see one of her older friends, Sona Sitri another upper-class demon who was studying with her in Kuoh.
"Good morning, Rias." I greet Sona with a smile.
"Good morning, Sona." He returned Rias also with a smile as he approached the young woman from Sitri.
"It's not like you to impulsively decide to bring someone into the residence." Said the black-haired girl as she looked at a young man with brown hair and light brown eyes who was fighting with two other boys.
"Really?" Rias asked as he watched the trio as well. "Well, I got a dumb little brother." Rias continued in a funny tone and then formed a smile.
Sona looked at Rias in surprise.
"And in the case of Rigr..." Rias started as he began to walk away because he would be late for his classes. "I doubt he committed any recklessness." Rias continued to leave Sona confused.
While Rias had a memory of what happened yesterday
Rias had appeared before a dying Rigr, had decided to reincarnate him as a demon, as payment for Isabella's happiness.
It would be a waste of pieces, but Rias didn't care, he wanted his friend to be happy. She had heard that Rigr had been part of the Kendo team the past year but this year she had left the team. Therefore, she had decided to reincarnate him as her knight.
He took out his horse piece, a mutated piece and the last one he had left after reincarnating Gasper.
Rias would be losing a very expensive piece, just for his friend's happiness, that showed how much Rias loved Isabella, as he knew her even before Sona and Akeno.
But something happened that surprised her. The piece and Rigr began to glow with silver auras, and within a matter of time the horse piece shot out of Rias' hand and was quickly absorbed by Rigr. Rigr's silver aura doubled so much that Rias had to step back and cover his eyes in the glare, but after a few seconds everything was back to normal.
That moment Rias knew the piece was not wasted.
….
It was afternoon, classes were over, but Rigr was still sitting at his post, waiting for the person Rias would send to get him.
He heard some footsteps approaching and didn't have to turn around to see who it was.
"So I'm sending you." Rigr spoke as he was picking up his stuff.
"If..." The voice seemed embarrassed.
"Well..." Rigr said as he finished packing his things. "Lead the way, Isabella." The Stafford continued when he turned to see the silver-haired young woman.
The young woman nodded, but seemed embarrassed, Rigr not knowing if it was because of this morning and the fact that she was a demon and had kept it from him.
Well... Secret, secret. It was not, Rigr already knew it for a long time. That I didn't know he already knew is another matter.
Isabella led the way to the old Kuoh Academy building where the occult club was located.
"Excuse me." This is Isabella speaking as she and Rigr entered the club room.
Rigr found several familiar faces. The obvious ones would be Rias, Akeno, Grayfia who wore a maid's outfit and finally Yumi. Aside from those faces there were three faces.
The first was a young man one year younger than Rigr, the young man is handsome, has blond hair and blue eyes. The other Prince of Kuoh, Kiba Yuuto, Yumi's older twin brother. And the other is a little girl two years younger than Rigr, the young girl has white hair and golden eyes. The name of the young girl if Rigr was not wrong is Koneko Toujou.
And the third is...
"What is this bastard doing here?" complained a young man with brown hair and light brown eyes, the young man's hair is pointed and he has two locks on the back of his head, a student with a bad reputation you could say. The young man's name is Hyoudou Issei.
Rigr ignored the brown-haired young man's question and turned to see Isabella. "Are you sure you didn't go to the wrong salon?" Rigr asked, puzzled by Issei's appearance.
Issei grunted at being ignored by Rigr. "Damn" I speak Issei as he approached Rigr who looked at him with a blank expression.
"Ise, calm down. Rigr you didn't go to the wrong room and Ise to answer your question; they are both here for the same reason" declared Rias making Issei stop and turn to see her.
Yes, I can confirm this, this young lady likes to waste pieces,' thought Rigr.
Rias' gaze turned to Rigr. "Well... Issei has already been introduced to everyone, but you have two more people to introduce, so..." Rias started, but Rigr interrupted her.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you Gremory-San, but I already know the two people you want to introduce as they are also famous from the academy, and I've talked to Kiba a couple of times, let's say we have similar problems" confessed Rigr while Yuuto gave a little nervous laugh and Issei cursed them both.
Rias nodded and went on to explain to Issei why they were here, he explained that everyone present was a demon, about the fallen angels and angels and the current situation of the demons, about the girl who had killed Issei who by pure coincidence was the same one who killed Rigr. Then he explained to Issei that for the reason that the fallen angel had killed him, he explained that they were the Sacred Gear and that he was possibly a possessor of one.
"Issei, raise your left arm" Rias asked young Hyoudou.
"A-Also?" Issei questioned as he raised his arm.
"Close your eyes and wish for the strongest thing that comes to mind." Rias explained to Issei what he should do.
"Th-This is very sudden..." I declare Issei somewhat nervous.
"Focus, Issei," Rias said.
"C-Clear!" I exclaim Issei and then raise my hand and close my eyes.
"Focus, focus!" Issei repeated herself several times, but then she opened her eyes and looked at Rias to realize she could see his panties. Even Rigr could see them from his seat
"Yes, Issei, focus" Rias said, Rigr couldn't know if she knew Issei was looking at her panties and she didn't care or she honestly hadn't noticed.
Issei closed her eyes again. "Focus, focus!" Issei repeated himself, but after a while he opened his eyes again to see Rias' panties.
This is a waste of time,' thought Rigr as she sighed.
"Focus..." Issei repeated herself again, but still her gaze fixed on Rias' underwear.
Issei fell to the ground, defeated. "I can't do it!" I declare Issei somewhat sad.
"It's all right. We'll do it slowly," said Rias as he stood up from his desk, no one had any vision of his underwear anymore.
Rigr ran her hand over her face. I honestly don't know if she did it on purpose, or if the girl fell when she was a child,' Rigr thought.
"Still, maybe there's been some mistake." I comment Issei with his eyes on Rias.
"It is a fact that the fallen angels feared you and killed you." Rias commented while Issei stood up.
"B-But if that's a fact, how am I alive?" I ask Issei in confusion.
And Rias grabbed a role that Rigr and Issei recognized.
"That's..." Issei said as he recognized him.
"You summoned me from this flyer moments before I died. The same goes for Rigr." He explained Rias.
"Issei, Rigr, have been reborn in the residence of Rias Gremory, daughter of Duke Gremory, a demon of superior class." I confess Rias with a smile, then pull out his demon wings. "Of course, like my demon servants!" Continuous Rias.
"We are indeed the same." He declared Akeno as she, along with everyone else, stood up and pulled out her demon wings, even Issei and Rigr pulled her out.
"So welcome, Rigr and Issei" welcomed Rias.
"This... Rias-Senpai if the fallen angels killed me because I have a Sacred Gear, does that mean the same goes for... Rigr-Senpai?" Issei asked, although the last part seems to have tasted poison to say Senpai to the Stafford.
"I didn't really revive him on a whim," Rias replied with a smile.
Issei gave Rigr a winning look, which literally said, "Take it, pretty boy, I'm special and you're not," but that look quickly disappeared when it seemed to connect a couple of things.
Rigr didn't have to be very smart to understand. Rias had revived him on a whim and had not specified on what whim, and today they had both come together... so Issei must have come to the conclusion that.
"YOU ARE A COUPLE!" exclaimed Issei aloud as he pointed an accusing finger at Rigr.
The young Stafford gave Issei a blank stare. Then the silver-white-haired young man's gaze turned to Rias who looked at him too, she had said nothing and expected Rigr to explain.
Rigr turned her gaze to Issei, tilted her head, and opened her eyes slightly as if she had reached a conclusion. "You were right, Gremory-San... he is special." Rigr started and everyone looked at him in confusion. "How could I not realize" Rigr continued to look disappointed in himself. "Silly, pervert... but don't worry, Hyoudou-San, there are many people like you... you're not so different from the normals so don't feel bad, rather you're unique" concluded Rigr and everyone came to the same conclusion Rigr was saying special to Issei, but not in the same way as Rias
Issei took the joke badly and went ahead to grab Rigr by the shirt, but he was quicker and took her hand. The young Hyoudou reacted quickly and prepared to hit Rigr with his free hand.
"Stop!" I declare Grayfia out loud.
"Rigr and Issei, stop." Rias said something annoying, too.
Rigr reluctantly threw Issei's hand away while she rubbed her wrist.
"You're partners, so you must get along." Rias declared in a serious tone.
Rigr se bufo. "I will not be this pervert's companion," young Stafford confessed.
"Nor I of him" Issei agreed.
"Whether they like it or not they are partners and they should get along." These were the words of Rias that did not give way to discussion.
Rigr suppressed a grunt and Issei looked away from where Rigr was.
"But to answer your question, Issei, no, we are not dating, because it took me too long to heal Rigr's wounds to stay at his house and sleep, so we came together this morning" explained Rias while Issei nodded. "Rigr looked at Isabella and she blushed and looked away. "But it was not a waste because Rigr must have magical ancestry, because the demonic power she obtained is immense, so much demonic power is something that would only be seen in magical prodigies with a great natural talent, so Rigr has an extremely high potential. "I finish Rias while Rigr turned to see her.
"That means, I'm a whim that worked out well for you" Rigr commented as he raised an eyebrow.
"Basically" Rias agreed while nodding slightly.
The young Stafford saw Issei again, and his gaze practically told him. "Now who's the special one?" Issei for his part grunted in frustration.
"But speaking of that, Rigr, do you know what your parents do, if in their past they had anything to do with the supernatural world or any ancestors?" I question Rias with interest and all eyes were on Rigr.
Young Stafford massaged his chin while he thought. "My mother, as I told you, died a long time ago, and she really didn't do anything. "Rigr began as he remembered his mother. 'Well, my mother, you might say, was a princess. 'Reflected the young man with the silvery white hair. "But if I had to say what she did I'd say she was a dancer, my mother loved to dance more than most. "Rigr." "My father..." The Stafford continued and his tone became more icy. "My mother said her biggest hobby is creating things, I honestly don't know if that's what she does, and I'm not very interested in that either." And about my ancestors, on my mother's side I don't think, and well my father's side I don't even know them and honestly I don't have much interest in them either.
Rias seemed pensive after Stafford's words. "Well... nothing more can be done." Rias spoke after a few moments of silence. "I have a job for both of you" continued the young Gremory as she looked at Rigr and Issei.
'Don't tell me what' Rigr thought with suspicion of what he was going to have them do.
"Demons gather power by forming contracts with humans and receiving compensation. These days, no one makes magic circles to summon demons, so just pull out the circles of potential contractors" declared Rias as he sat on one of the furniture in the room.
Grayfia took out two bags and gave them to Rigr while Akeno invoked some papers like the ones Rias had given to Rigr.
'Damn' thought Rigr, but there was nothing left for him to do but take this job.
Rigr, like Issei, started keeping the papers in the bag and then handing them out.
"We usually have family members to do it, but like a demon servant they need to learn the basics" explained Rias when he approached the ear of both of them.
"Work hard and you might both get a servant!" Whispered Rias in both their ears.
Issei stood up. "M-My Servant! "Exclamed Issei his gaze was dreamy.
"Everything depends on the effort you put into it" declared Rias with his eyes on Issei.
"I-if they're servants, they'll obey me, right?" I speak Issei with a dreamy and excited voice.
"Yes" said Rias and Issei approached her.
"I can do whatever I want with them, right?" I comment Issei with a perverted expression.
"Of course!" I accept Rias while he's nodding off.
"I... even p-perverted things?!" Issei asked aloud, and his imagination flew on and on.
"If they're your servants, why not?" He declared Rias with a smile that Rigr described as beautiful.
"You're honestly disgusting" Rigr commented when Issei turned to see him angry.
"What, you got a problem?" I question Issei in anger.
Rigr got up. "Yes... that's one of the most stupid, disgusting, disgusting, degrading things I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of them," Rigr confessed, looking Issei seriously in the eye.
All eyes were on them, Rias was ready to intervene at any time.
"Why?" Issei asked with an angry frown.
"Why? Did you really just ask that? Basically, your dream is to have women serve you and order them to have sex with you, how low can you go?" Rigr replied. His face was disgusted and angry about Issei's dream. "What do you think women are?" The young Stafford asked Issei, but before the Hyoudou could answer, Rigr continued. "They are not tools or trophies that you can take out from time to time and use and then change them like a piece of clothing that you no longer like, servants whether they are women or men, they are all living beings not tools for your personal use, no one wants to be used as a tool, everyone has their tastes, emotions, everyone has their desires. "Honestly, life is not all perverted things, you know? It's much more than that, and I'll give you some advice for you that only seems to look at the physique of a woman, it's true that a woman is attractive certainly high interest, but what's the point of having the most physically attractive woman, if inside she's the worst piece of garbage that can exist? I conclude the Stafford to give himself the door and go to hand out the papers.
"Then enlighten me, for surely your form must be correct for the use of servants" Issei said as he looked at him with a scowl.
"No... my form will never be perfect, for I will never deserve to have servants." After saying those words Rigr went on her way.
But a voice stopped him.
"Rigr-San" It was Grayfia who made him stop, the Stafford turned to see her.
"What do you think about my sister being a demon?" I question Grayfia with curiosity and Isabella turns to see her surprised by her older sister's sudden question.
Glances fell on the young Stafford, in Isabella's gaze there was fear and hope at the same time.
Rigr only shrugged. Isabella's look was sad.
"Really, I don't care if she is a demon, when I showed her the city she behaved like a young girl of her age, if she was a demon or a human there was no difference in it, and about if I hide it, it doesn't bother me either, we all have the right to have our secrets" Rigr spoke. He didn't want to say those words, but they came out of his mouth without him being able to help it. When Isabella was sad she reminded him of his mother's melancholy look and unwittingly said those words to make her feel better.
Isabella's gaze lit up and she even blushed.
"Good, I was afraid your relationship would be ruined because she hid from you that she was a demon" explained Grayfia with a big, warm smile. Rigr's eyes opened like plates, suddenly Grayfia's maid's uniform changed from blue to black, and Grayfia's red eyes changed to purple. Rigr whispered a few words that were not heard by anyone, her left hand turned into a fist and she clenched it so tightly that blood began to flow from her hand and she quickly put her hand in her pocket and left as fast as she could.
When Rigr left the academy and went into an alley where a magical circle appeared from which a wolf-like creature with silver fur and hazel eyes appeared then that wolf turned into a light silver-haired, hazel-eyed man who was kneeling before Rigr.
The young Stafford gave the bag to his relative and the latter nodded, understanding his task, and left to hand out the papers. Rigr sat down on the floor.
The silver-white-haired boy laid his head on a wall, a magic circle in his ear to communicate with someone.
"Oh, Rigr, what a surprise that you called me." I speak a joyful voice through the magic circle.
"Azazel..." Rigr said, knowing who he had called. He trusted that man a lot, Rigr would deny it out of shame and pride, but that man had been a Master and a substitute Father since he saved him as a child without having the duty to do so, sincerely Rigr trusted that man a lot. Enough to call him and ask his advice.
"What's up, kid? You got some good news? Tell me already, do you have a girlfriend? I mean for you it should be easy, you look a lot like your great-grandfather Lucifer and therefore God, you inherited the beauty of both, tell me you used your eyes to seduce a young girl, he said you have the same eyes as God and Lucifer, the eyes of god; beautiful and perfect eyes that look like jewels, sometimes when I see your eyes you remind me of my Father's eyes, although good God's was a warm, loving and kind one while yours is icy cold and in Lucifer He started Azazel but was interrupted by Rigr.
"Kokabiel ordered me killed." I confess Rigr.
…
…
…
Quiet, that's what there was for a while.
"THAT BASTARD!" Azazel said his voice had gone up in pitch, due to the fury, and it sounded like he had hit something.
"You'll need a new desk" Rigr commented knowing that Azazel broke the desk.
"That doesn't matter now" I confess Azazel. "Tell me, how are you alive? Did you escape?" Azazel asked with curiosity.
"No, they think I'm dead," Rigr replied calmly. "I guess you must have an idea of how I'm alive by now." The Stafford continued.
"The Gremory girl" declared Azazel after putting the pieces together.
"Tell me something, did you know this was going to happen?" Rigr questioned as he squinted. Azazel was a master strategist, predicting this for him was simple child's play.
"The Gremory girl, was a possibility, I did not know if it would happen, but I could, you're not as strong as when you were a child, but you still have a strong power latent in you, enough to make her interested in you, Kokabiel if I was surprised, it is assumed that your existence and Vali's few people know in Grigori, as he discovered I do not know" Azazel confessed honestly. "But tell me, how is your new teacher?" I question the leader of the fallen angels with interest.
"Disappointing" Rigr confessed as he closed his eyes for a moment "She didn't know about my latent power, she was going to revive me just because I was nice to one of her oldest friends, apparently she likes to waste her pieces" explained the Stafford.
"Were you nice to anyone? Tell me who is the girl?" Azazel asked with curiosity.
"She is a Lucifuge, the younger sister of Grayfia Lucifuge" answered Rigr.
"Oh... interesting, but there's something you haven't told me yet" Azazel stated, Rigr didn't have to see him to know he had a smile on his face.
"Her name is Isabella and she... looks like my mother and that confuses me. Well, I don't know if the kindness I showed her was genuine mine or just because she looks like my Mother" Rigr confessed his tone was confused and he held his head in his right hand.
Azazel knew the answer, but as Master would not tell him, the Master guides the pupil to find the answer to his question, he does not give it to him. "Look within yourself," said Azazel.
"I don't want to find the answer!" This is Rigr raising his voice slightly. "I told myself that I would abandon these emotions, but Isabella and Grayfia are a nuisance, one looks like my mother and the other like Shiduri.
"Rigr..." He started Azazel, no longer as a teacher but as a substitute father. "You are a living being is normal to have emotions, do not try to control or forget them that will make you forget what you are, if you forget you will not be more than a corpse that can walk" continued Azazel.
The young Stafford broke into a graceless laugh. "A corpse, that's what it should be." Rigr said.
"And why aren't you?" I question the leader of the fallen angels.
"Because I saw my mother in my last moments!" Exclamation Rigr somewhat angry with himself. "I thought, I was ready to die. But when I saw her I decided to live by her beliefs." The young man continued.
"And why don't you live for them?" Azazel asked with interest.
"Because it's not that easy," Rigr confessed as he let out a slight sigh. "I lived most of my life, believing in the beliefs of that old man, my grandfather, until I finally realized that I was doing wrong by following those ideals, I don't want you to misinterpret my words, I trust my mother, but what if those beliefs are wrong too? The young man went on to reveal his doubts to Azazel.
"And how do you know they're wrong if you don't try?" I question Azazel.
"Yes, I won't know, but what if they're wrong and I fail again?" Rigr replied as he frowned.
"Then you failed, and you learned that those beliefs were not right either, but what if they are not? If you don't try, how will you know that your Mother's beliefs are wrong or right? You are afraid of failure, you should not do it, everyone is wrong, but you know something, failure is what will teach you more in life, because failure is the best teacher is" Azazel and Rigr was slightly surprised.
Rigr sigh. "You are right, as I will know they are wrong if I don't try" Rigr spoke and Azazel formed a small smile. "Tell me something Azazel, do you order the death of a young man named Hyoudou Issei?" I question Rigr with curiosity.
"Order to watch him, not to kill him" Azazel sounded strange.
"Well it seems that the fallen angels you sent are not loyal to you, it seems they pay tribute to Kokabiel as they follow his orders" declared Rigr with some fun when he heard a slight grunt from Azazel.
"What happened to the boy?" Asked the leader of the fallen angels.
"Unfortunately for me, that good-for-nothing is my partner now, why did you send for him?" Rigr answered.
"Because it has a powerful Sacred Gear, and if it got out of control it could go mad." He declared Azazel.
"Do you know what it is?" I question Rigr with interest.
"I have an idea, but you'll have to find out for yourself" Azazel answered and Rigr didn't have to see it to see his smile. "But speaking of another subject, Baraqiel's daughter is in the Gremory girl's nobility, right?" Azazel continued to change the subject.
"Yes, his name is Akeno" commented Rigr, while he already knew he was going to order Azazel.
"Could you help Baraqiel with his relationship with Akeno?" He questioned Azazel and his tone was somewhat pleading.
"I don't know, I don't know much about Akeno" answered Rigr without being completely convinced.
"Come on, it'll be easy for you to get close to her, because you both look alike in your past" Azazel declared what provoked Rigr's fury.
"We're nothing alike!" I scream Rigr in anger. "Baraqiel was there for Akeno when she was a child, he played with her and raised her along with Shuri, but he couldn't get there in time to defend his wife right, but he was there to save Akeno from his killers, he was there when she was little" Rigr continued his tone had normalized, but there was still anger in him, and it turned into a poisonous rage. "But my father... Ajuka, he was never there for me, he was never there to play with me, to raise me, I leave all that work to my mother and unfortunately to her family, where was he when I or my mother needed him? Where? In his stupid lab, forgetting he had a wife and kid." I conclude Rigr with anger and venom in his words directed at his Father.
"Yes, yes... I'm sorry." Azazel apologized, although he really didn't. "But can you help Baraqiel?" He asked for Azazel while Rigr sighed wearily.
"I'll try." I reluctantly accept Rigr.
"Well" Azazel Whispered in a victorious manner.
"But, I don't know how long it will last, as a servant of Rias Gremory." I confess Rigr while looking at the sky.
"And that would be because?" I question Azazel with attention in the young Stafford's answer.
"Because, a worse master could not touch me, besides I am a descendant of Lucifer serving as a demon of the lower class, besides she and her nobility will delay me in living according to my Mother's beliefs" Rigr answered "I even have to hand out invocation papers to make contracts, my grandfather would make fun of me, if he saw me like that" Stafford continued.
"But why don't you give Rias Gremory a chance? She might surprise you." I declare Azazel.
"Or disappoint me even more." I speak Rigr with pessimism.
"Maybe, but if you don't give her a chance you won't know, plus you know who the mother of the young Gremory is," said Azazel while Rigr was confused.
"What does your mother have to do with this?" Rigr asked in confusion.
"Well, her mother is Venelana Gremory, formerly known as Venelana Bael, the strongest woman in the Bael clan. That means that Rias has a lot of potential in her veins," Azazel answered, but Rigr didn't quite understand.
"So I should give him a chance just because of his great potential? What's the point of having it if you waste it?" I question the young man with the silvery white hair.
"Oh, it's not just their potential, the other thing you'll have to realize yourself." I declare Azazel and Rigr sigh.
"Oh, and you're handing out summoning papers to make a contract and that must disappoint your grandfather." Azazel started and Rigr nodded, although Azazel couldn't see it. "Azazel asked with a smile and even though Rigr could not see him he knew by his tone that he was smiling.
Rigr laughed a little. "Well, I guess you're right," said Rigr as he got up from the floor, the thought of his grandfather being disappointed after finding out about his grandson is handing out summoning papers, filling him with fun and making his day.
Next to Rigr a silvery magic circle was created from which his relative in human form appeared. He extended what was left of the papers to her. Less than half.
"Rigr, before you go." Azazel started. "The fallen angel that I sent to watch over Issei, I think if I'm not mistaken, his name was Raynare, did she have anything to do with your death?" continued the leader of the fallen angels.
"Yes, it was she who stuck her light lance in my abdomen" Rigr revealed and I heard Azazel sigh.
"Well... here's to the next one. I, Azazel, the leader of the fallen angels, declare all the fallen angels that are in Kuoh as traitors, and for the next one I give the right to you or the nobility of Rias Gremory to exterminate them" I declare Azazel in a serious tone, more than being an order, it was like opening a path that Rigr could take or not take if he did not want to, and in the case of the Gremory nobility so that if the fallen angels were exterminated by them there would be a justification.
"Well, I guess that's it. Thank you, Azazel." Rigr thanked him with a small smile.
"No problem kid, I'll always be here for you" Azazel confessed so Rigr could undo the magic circle of communication. "And Rigr, you're still young, try to find happiness, you still have a chance" continued Azazel with a warm and quiet voice.
"I can't find happiness, not after what I've done." After saying that, Rigr broke the magic circle he used to communicate with Azazel.
Rigr stretched out and then walked away, ready to finish delivering his remaining invocation papers.
… .
Azazel is a tall man who looks about twenty years old with an average build, black hair, golden bangs and a black goatee.
Next to him was a handsome young man with light silver hair and hazel eyes.
"Are you sure it's the best thing for Nii-San?" asked the light silver-haired young man, curiously.
"Yes... Rias Gremory is an opportunity for Rigr to open up, and abandon all that coldness that surrounds him," Azazel answered with a smile. "He, he considers it a disappointment not because I have revived him or young Hyoudou. But because he showed him kindness, Rigr has been believing all his life that demons must be cruel, evil and wicked because of his Grandfather's teachings, and because of that he is confused, few demons showed him kindness and the great majority of them are dead, so that other demons appear that show him kindness confuses him and so he runs away from that confusion and convinces himself that he is disappointed by it". I explain Azazel and then sigh slightly.
"Your brother is a difficult man to understand, for his past is not easy either..." I confess Azazel while looking at the moon. "He is in an abyss full of darkness, and if he is not removed from there, I fear it will be a matter of time before Rigr returns to what he was as a child" continued Azazel with some sadness.
"And do you think Rias Gremory can pull him out of that abyss?" I question the young man as he frowned slightly.
"The Gremorians are known to have close relationships with their servants, unlike other pure-blooded demons. Therefore, Rigr in that nobility will be seen as part of their family rather than a tool, and a stroke of luck is that the young Lucifuge looks like her Mother, possibly has Lucifer ancestry or one of her Fathers is a Lucifer and that the other Lucifuge looks like Shiduri is another stroke of luck" declared Azazel with a smile. "But that is not what is important, but something else" continued the governor of the fallen angels.
"What?" I ask the silver-haired young man, with interest.
Azazel gave a funny little laugh and then talked. "Let's just say Rigr has forgotten that her mother has a rather special maternal ancestry."
…
Rigr was returning to the occult club after handing in all the hiring papers. It was late at night already.
The young Stafford was to open the door, the door was opened on the other side showing a Rias going home.
"Rigr" I greet Rias with a surprised expression when I see him. "Did you deliver the hiring papers?" asked the young Gremory with interest.
The silver-white-haired young man nodded and Rias smiled at him. "I see, good job." I praise the redhead.
"Are you going home?" Question Rigr.
"Yes" answered Rias. "Will you come with me?" asked the Gremory, while Rigr signaled her to show the way.
Rias smiled and began to lead the way to his apartment.
The first half of the trip was silent, none of us spoke. It wasn't until Rias decided to break the silence
"Rigr, do you hate Issei?" I ask the redhead with interest.
Rigr meditated in silence for a few seconds. "It is difficult to explain, but I do not hate him, I consider him someone disgusting and the worst, but it is because of his perversion and the dream he said a few hours ago" Rigr answered after meditating.
"So you hate perverted things?" He questioned Rias while raising an eyebrow.
"No... I told you it's hard to explain, but I don't hate perverted things, I hate what they yell at the four winds like Issei, honestly it's disgusting and disgusting to hear that a person wants to force his servants to have sex with him, but I don't hate perverted things, I accept it myself I have also thought perverted things, but it is a normal instinct, another thing is that you are shouting it to the four winds, I sincerely do not want to hear the fetishes of another I do not want to hear or person I do not know" Rigr answered.
"So what is it that attracts you most from a woman?" Rias asked with a mocking smile.
"Why, do you want that information?" Rigr answered with another question as she looked at Rias.
"For a friend" I confess Rias sincerely.
So, she's determined that this one with Isabella' thought Rigr was a bit upset.
"Like all men I have physical tastes, the physique of a woman attracts me, more specifically that they have big breasts with that is enough to attract me" declared Rigr.
Rias stopped him and I look at him with amusement. "Then I enter your tastes" I comment on the funny Gremory.
Rigr turned to see her, she was not going to lie, she was afraid of few things in life and say that a woman was beautiful or if she was a woman who entered into their tastes, she was not one of them. "Honestly, if you get into them. You are a captivating woman to simple dress, with one with an extraordinarily beautiful face, which over comes in all the features, hair of a unique color, beautiful eyes, exuberant physical, extravagant, of the highest degree and that attracts any man" Flattery Rigr y Rias felt that she was reddening for the great compliments that she received. "But the physical attracts me, but the personality is what makes me stay. But as I told Hyoudou, it's no use having the most beautiful and physically attractive woman if she's a lousy person".
Rias felt the need to ask something. "How should we be a couple?" the young woman asked with interest, she needed Rigr to tell her what she thought about it.
"What should a couple be like, for me?" Rigr asked himself as he pondered the answer. "I guess the first thing would be that the man shouldn't see the woman as a trophy or tool, the same goes for the woman. A couple should be of two, not just one person who uses a tool or admires his trophy when he wants, they should be two people are like two halves of one being, that thanks to that person you can be happy, that makes you feel special, that you feel that a part of her or him is part of you or will be part of you forever, whether it's a will, a belief, a legacy, a teaching, or the happiness he or she can give you, that you're both happy with each other, that you're both in good times and bad I think that's what a couple should be" was Rigr's response.
Rias was surprised, then smiled slightly sadly, but he had one last question.
"You said something similar when you argued with Issei about his dream, about people seeing others as tools or trophies, does that bother you?" questioned the young Gremory.
"If... my mother's family, her relatives, more specifically my grandfather and another man, saw me as their trophy and their tool, maybe that's why it bothers me, because I know what it's like to live being a tool and a trophy for others" Rigr answered with sadness.
"To me you're not a tool, not a trophy." I confess Rias, those words came out of nowhere, but strangely enough he wanted to say them. Rigr turned to see her in surprise, at her words. "Because for me, you are now part of my family." Rias said with a smile.
Rigr was surprised. "You have a very unique way of thinking Rigr, it is not something you see much these days and even less in a demon" Rias commented by referring to Rigr being a demon now.
"My way of thinking, possibly comes from my upbringing with my mother" revealed Rigr and smiled slightly with pride. But then he turned to see Rias.
"Gremory-San, can I ask you a question?" Rigr asked while Rias looked at him curiously.
"Call me now Buchou, you are part of the occult club, and if you can ask me anything," answered Rias who was full of curiosity about the question Rigr would ask him.
"If I wanted to leave your nobility, would you let me?" Rigr question with interest in response.
Rias' face was filled with surprise, Rigr would even say sadness, he suspects, which was confirmed when Rias smiled at him sadly.
"Honestly, I'd be disappointed, if you wanted to leave my nobility," Rias confessed while Rigr glanced slightly. "But I would let you go" continued the red-haired young woman and now it was Rigr's turn to be surprised.
"Why?" Rigr asked in surprise. The demons are supposed to be ambitious and arrogant beings, they would never let go a servant with as much potential as Rigr, the young Stafford believed that Rias would refuse and he would be forced to reveal his true identity, but here was the young Gremory, who would accept if Rigr, wanted to leave the nobility.
"I don't want anyone to feel that they are obliged to belong to my nobility, unfortunately I will never be able to give you back your humanity, but if you want to leave my nobility I will be fine with that, I really revived you because I wanted my friend to be happy, but now you are alive and I think that is enough" answered Rias.
"We're here," commented La Gremory when they had finally arrived at their apartment building, which was the same one where Isabella and Grayfia lived, which was normal since the latter is Rias' personal maid.
Rias went ahead and stood in front of the door of his building, but before entering he turned to see Rigr.
Rias leaned forward very slightly. "Thank you for joining me, Rigr... Isabella really made a point of looking at you." Rias declared with a big, warm, beautiful smile.
Rigr was surprised and petrified.
The young Gremory turned around and went into her building to go to her apartment.
The young Stafford did not move, his eyes were open like a couple of plates, when Rias smiled at him, he saw someone else, he saw his Mother. Now I had understood what he meant, Azazel. How could he forget, his Mother was also a descendant of the Bael clan.
"Kaa-san" Whispered Rigr as a lone tear rolled down his cheek.
Isabella wasn't the only one who looked like her mother.
Well that's it, this chapter is twice as long as the previous one, totalling over 10,000 and it is the longest chapter I have ever written.
In this chapter, I tried to lay the groundwork for Rigr and I think I succeeded.
