Arc 3 - Chapter 2

(Kuoh Town)

"Hmm?" I look back, to see Rias running to catch up with me, with a plastic bag that held her purchased manga. "Need something from me? Another kiss maybe?" I grin once more at Rias, whose face became red at being reminded of losing her first kiss to me. Something I can say, that this is one of those moments I didn't care how forward I can be with girls nor how forceful I am.

"Sh-Shut up! I don't want a kiss from some stranger, who just kissed me out of the blue!" Rias shouted as she couldn't believe she lost her first kiss just like that and in a manga store of all places!

"I'm Sato Daisuke, Sato being my surname. Nice to meet you." I introduce myself to Rias, then give her a small bow.

"Oh, I'm Gremory Rias, Gremory being my surname. It's nice to meet you too." Rias introduces herself out of reflex and bow her head too, then blinks a few times after realizing what she just has done. "Hey! Stop distracting me!"

"Okay, I'll stop." I lean in to kiss Rias on the lip once more, causing the girl to blank out for a moment. "There is the kiss you wanted."

That snap Rias and bring out the rage deep within her. "I said I didn't want a kiss!" The urge to attack was barely suppressed by Rias, but she is this close to snapping.

"Fine. Fine. What do you want then?" I roll my eyes at Rias, for she acting completely out of character from her canon's version. Then again, I bet no one dares to kiss her out of nowhere and by a stranger of all people.

"I want to know what gave you the right, to kiss me like that?!" Rias poke Daisuke in the stomach while blushing a bit to feel how hard his stomach and she just barely see those abs. Making Rias unconscious focus on them.

"Well, for one, you didn't stop me. So I went for it and the way you're staring at me right now." I lean even a bit closer until I'm right next to her left ear. "I can see what you want right now." Then, I lean back and pull Rias into my arms, allowing me to feel her breasts onto my chest and I must say. I think I might just stay in this world a bit just for Rias alone.

BOOM!*

Landing on my back from the explosion usually is uncomfortable. However, this time it a 50-50, with being painful and great at the same time. Painful, because Rias landed on top of me. Great, because Rias landed on top of me, and pressing her lovely breasts against me made the pain worth it.

"What the hell." I look in disbelief, to find the manga store blow up. And I can say that even Rias is shocked when she turned around, to see the store on fire and dead people scatter around in front of the destroyed manga shop.

"Not the manga store!" Rias cried out in absolute horror, to find out one of her beloved places have been destroyed before her very eyes.

"Forget the manga store, what the hell is that?!" I point at the thing that comes out of the manga store, where both Rias and I, along with anyone alive nearby to see tall, almost 6 meters in height, thin in size human skeleton on fire, with the empty eye sockets, have two balls of white fires as eyes.

"Why is there a stray devil here out in the open!?" Rias look at the tall, thin human skeleton in shock. Then, quickly got up from the ground, to prepare for better and just remember she wasn't alone. "Hurry and leave!" Rias said to Daisuke, not wanting to have an innocent bystander to get hurt or worst, being killed by this stray devil.

"Well, seeing how you know exactly what that thing is. I guess you must be from the supernatural world, then." I got up from the ground, then pat my pants while quickly thinking of what I should use on this stray devil and came up with the best [Magical Item] to use while at the same time hiding most of my other [Magical Items] and abilities.

Pulling out the [Grimoire Weiss] via hammerspace, causing Rias to look at my [Magical Tome] with surprise.

"This is my [Grimoire Weiss]. This contains most of my dangerous and powerful [Spells]." I briefly explain what I'm using to Rias, while at the same time, I'm glad I modified the [Grimoire Weiss] to replace the [Magic Spell: Words] to the Dragon language from Skyrim. Due to the latter being much more powerful in my opinion. Therefore, through the [Grimoire Weiss] acting as the medium to use [Dragon Shouts] without having to meet the conditions to use them at full power. "Like this. [Hi Nis Bo (You Can't Move)]!"

Then, everything around me froze, this includes the fire itself as well. This is exactly how powerful the [Dragon Shouts] is without any limitations placed on it. As anything is possible if I'm not careful, but at the same time, I can do so much with the [Dragon Shouts] as it isn't limited to just three words. Thought, due to not truly understanding the Dragon language and being fluent it. It became chaotic most of the time when using it. Yet, make things interesting for me and planning not to fix this little problem when using the [Dragon Shouts].

Under the shocked Rias, I casual walk over to the frozen stray devil.

"[Dir Us Dii Haalvut (Die Before My Touch)]." I didn't have to yell out the [Dragon Shouts] if I don't want to, then without caring for being burnt by the flames from the stray devil due to the fire being frozen as well and with a single touch. The stray devil collapse into ashes. "[Hi Lost Fin Suleyk Wah Bo (You Have The Power To Move)]."

Rias found herself being able to move again, along with everything else around her that seemed to be frozen in time are now resuming in motion. However, that wasn't the main focus of Rias. Since her main focus is the person that kissed, twice even, who might be a very powerful magician.

"Come on, I bet you have questions for me." I said to Rias, then walk away from the area, as those that were still alive to watch everything going on. Well, I have already put them to sleep via [Chariot Requiem] while Rias wasn't looking and made sure to have [Chariot Requiem] use the [Book of the End] to erase these people's memory of what just happen to something else. This includes removing the part related to Rias and me.


30 minutes later*

(Kuoh Town: Park)

Rias and I arrived at a typical park with trees, ponds, and grass fields. In the middle of it lies a water fountain where it's most notable the place where Raynare killed Issei at the end of their date.

Neither Rias nor I spoke until we found a bench to sit on.

"So, are you human or something else?" I ask Rias, where I actually know she is a devil, but she doesn't know that. "For me, I'm 100% human." I grin at Rias, where I spoke the truth, but not the full truth as I can temporarily become a Noah. "And before you ask about my [Grimoire Weiss]. It's something I made myself and bound to my very soul. Something on the line of a [Sacred Gear], but this is all mine. Not something the big G in the sky created." I love the priceless look on Rias' face to discovered I did something many couldn't.

Though, Azazel, the current Governor-General of the fallen angels and Grigori is on his way there. Making his own [Sacred Gears], but I wasn't completely sure since the last thing I know about him related to [Sacred Gear] is the [Down Fall Dragon Spear]. An [Artifical Sacred Gear] that has one of the Five Dragon Kings, Fafnir, sealed inside of it after Azazel made a pact with him.

"I'm a devil." Rias decide to speak the truth, for she has this gut feeling that if she dares lie, then gaining Daisuke's trust will be something very hard to get later on after this meeting. "And you actually made that yourself?" Rias ask in disbelief in her voice as she looks at the floating [Grimoire] that just flying around Daisuke without a care in the world nor does anyone nearby, including humans without knowledge over the supernatural world, wouldn't even so much as glance at the floating book. Making Rias wonder if it's Daisuke or the [Grimoire] itself is making others not noticing the floating book's existence.

"You bet your sexy ass, that I made this." I smirk at Rias, causing her to blush so easily, that she didn't think I would say such a thing to her face. "Took me years, but I finally finish making it. Though, I can still improve it later on since I won't place many limitations on it, where it would stop growing. Therefore, in time, the [Grimoire Weiss] shall become the strongest [Grimoire] in existence." I gave half the truth since I know the [Grimoire Weiss] I have right now. Should already be considered the best of the best in the Highschool DxD world. "Anyway, what is a devil, like you doing such a mundane as to go into a manga store?" I raise an eyebrow at Rias, where I can see it on her face, that she trying to come up with an excuse why she was there in the first place.

Rias debate on telling Daisuke that she just came there for a friend or how she enters the store by accident, but when she glances at Daisuke, she knew he will see through her lies with ease.

"Wait. Let me guess. I'm good at guessing, from what people told me." I decide to save Rias the trouble of trying to come up with a believable excuse, even though I already know the truth from the very beginning. "At a young age, someone influences you, no, introduce you a few products related to manga. Wait, that isn't it." I keep my eyes on Rias' face, to make it seem like I'm getting the truth out of her slowly just from looking at her facial expressions alone. "It isn't just manga alone. No. This person must have given you something that includes manga in it. Hmm. What is it? Ah!" I snap my fingers. "It has been everything relate to Japan. As manga is original from here. Therefore, you became interested in anything related to Japan."

Rias is completely speechless that some stranger manages to discover her dark secret so easily, that makes her suspect that Daisuke has been stalking her for some now.

"Following this statement. I roughly guess that you must be either one of the extra demons or part of the 72 Pillars and discovered the culture of Japan, leading to you falling in love with it and decided to move here just for the culture alone or you were born in Japan and love Japan for you were born here along with other things." I finished my fake analysis of Rias' reason for being at the manga store. "So, how close am I to the truth?"

Rias didn't say anything and just bury her red face into her hands, trying her best not to make a sound, for she feels absolutely embarrassed and wanted a hole to appear in front of her, so she can jump into and hide from the world.

"I take that as a yes, then." I lean back a bit while continuing to grin at Rias. "By the way, are you single?"

"Wh-What?!" Rias snap out and look at Daisuke in disbelief, where she has an idea why he would ask this.

"Hey, do you have any idea how hard it is to find a lovely lady as yours who are into mangas and anime, along with other things instead of finding just males and casual decent girl, but not much." I lied through my teeth, for I have seen many good looking women in the past who are like Rias. But, unlike them, they aren't devil nor do they have access to [Magic]. Well, [Devil Magic] to be exact. "So, wanna be my girlfriend?" I raise an eyebrow at Rias, wondering if I'm being a bit too forward.

"Why would I want to go out with someone like you!" Rias growl with a hint of killing intent. "You literally stole my first kiss! My second even!"

"Because you loved the way I remade that scene for us to roleplay in, even if it didn't go exactly like in the scene, but it's close. I saw how happy you were for us to do a small roleplay, and if you're my girlfriend, then we can do lots of roleplay if that what you desire." I lean a bit closer to Rias near the end and look directly into her eyes. Before leaning back after a second later. "Also, to sweeten the deal. I have my own ways to recreate things in the manga/anime as well." By that, I will the [Grimoire Weiss] to come closer to me for me to hold, then pull Rias closer to me until I'm hugging her with one arm. As I put the [Grimoire Weiss] away.

Rias allow this to happen, for she is curious if what she was just told is for real or not.

"Remember how I made it so, that everything is frozen in time, but really, all I did was frozen space instead?" I remind Rias what happen before coming here back at the manga store, and when Rias nods her head, I continue. "What if I tell you that, I possess my own [Stand]?" I grin down at Rias. "Wait, I forgot. Only a fellow [Stand User] can see another person's [Stand]." I have forgotten this one little fact.

"You have a [Stand]?! Do you have [Star Platinum]?! [The World]?!" Rias became very excited, nor would she dismiss the idea of [Stand] just a joke from Daisuke. After all, she has seen him literally frozen space as he said before. Therefore, the chance of [Stands] being real is very high in Rias' opinion.

"Why would I aim for those [Stands]?" I ask Rias, because in my opinion, I already have the ability to stop time itself, and I can do so by using the [Domain Control: Elemental Manipulation - Time]. Nor do I need either [Stands] entering the [Over Heaven] since later on, I can manipulate reality as well. Therefore, having these two [Stands] will pretty much give me a short cut to [Time Manipulation] and [Reality Warping] when I can just wait some times before my natural talent in [Telekinesis] reach that point.

"To stop time... of course..." Rias was about to argue with Daisuke before realizing why he didn't aim for those two [Stands] as she just remembers Daisuke could technically bring a similar effect of stopping time. "Nevermind..."

"Ah, don't be disappointed." I rub the top of Rias' head. "If you're that curious of what [Stand] I have. It's [Chariot Requiem]." I decided to reveal only one [Requiem Stand] and keep [Gold Experience Requiem] as a secret from Rias for the time being.

Rias mumble the name of [Chariot Requiem] a few times, to recall who this [Stand] belong to and what type of [Stand] it is.

"Wait! [Chariot Requiem], the evolved form of [Silver Chariot] and the [Stand] of Jean Pierre Poinareff?!" Rias couldn't believe someone she literally just met half an hour ago possesses such a powerful [Stand], not to mention the possibility the [Chariot Requiem] could do! It wasn't revealed all its power in canon, but Rias know enough that [Chariot Requiem] is a very powerful [Stand] that could manipulate the very soul itself, that many beings can't do. If that wasn't enough for Rias, then she can guess this [Chariot Requiem] belong to Daisuke must be either the same level as canon or much more powerful due to having the time to figure out the powers belong to [Chariot Requiem]. This made Rias want Daisuke in her peerage more than ever, not because he is someone who she could speak together about the Japanese Culture. Nope. Not at all.

"Yup, that's the one. Hmm." I thought about it for a sec, then partial summon [Chariot Requiem] and create a rapier in my right hand. "Can you see this?" I bring the rapier close for Rias to see, but I was disappointed by the look of confusion in Rias' eyes. So, I drag the rapier against the ground in front of me, where sparks appear, making Rias' eyes widen at this display.

Dismissing the [Chariot Requiem]. I lean back while continue to hug Rias, making people nearby think Rias and I are a couple.

"Was... Was that..." Rias couldn't bring herself out to speak out her thoughts without choking on it. For satan sake! She has literally been given proof that [Stand] is an actual thing! Well, partially, but she can tell Daisuke was holding a rapier or something sharp just a few seconds ago but was invisible before her eyes!

"The rapier that [Silver Chariot] usually wield and I made it so that [Chariot Requiem] can do the same." Of course, I wasn't going out of my way to reveal everything. Nonetheless, using [Chariot Requiem] as the main distraction is fine for me. Since it looks like Rias completely forgot about the [Grimoire Weiss]. No idea if I should be delighted by this or sad that it was easily forgotten by Rias like it worth nothing in her eyes. "So, about your answer to being my girlfriend." I bring this back up before Rias and I go on our separate way. Well, more like I have to find a place to stay. Because I'm getting sick of sleeping outside and back in D. Gray-Man made me realize how much I miss the modern-day bedroom with AC and comfortable bed.

"Uh..." Rias wonder why she even considering this in the first place! Not to mention, she is already being forced to be in an arranged marriage! The nerve of her parents, and suddenly, Rias has an idea that may or may not help her get out of her problem. Not to mention, she gets to spend with someone who has the same interests as her; well, similar interests. As well as getting to experience what having a boyfriend is like too. "Alright, I'll be your girlfriend." Rias decides she may as well figure a way to use Daisuke to her advantage to get out of the arranged marriage. Plus, who knows, maybe Daisuke might be her ideal guy to be as her partner. "And would you like to join my peerage?"

"Nope. I rather not be a devil nor be your servant, and before you say how you will treat me well and all that. I really don't care. Besides, I can lots of things without having to be a devil. Also, I don't feel like being pushed into devil politics." I said dryly, causing Rias to frown.

"If you really want to make me your girlfriend and moving our relationship further into the future. You do know, that you'll still be pushed into devil politics, right?" Rias can't really fault Daisuke for not wanting to be a devil, but she is desperate a little to get out of the arranged marriage.

"That's also true." I nod at this. "What if I can give you the option to leave all that? Leave behind your past and what you have in the present for a completely different future?" I didn't outright tell Rias about my world travel nor will I tell her how until I feel like it. "Not to mention, I have the ability to make the impossible possible as long I have the materials to make it. My [Stand]? Took me some time to find the right stuff to let me make the [Stand-creating Arrow] and now I have [Chariot Requiem]. My [Grimoire Weiss]? Require me to seek out all the things needed to make it. All this is done because I am a maker." Also, I just realized, that maybe this Rias isn't completely like her canon's version.

After all, I was thinking she would do random things to force me to join her peerage.

"I'll think about it." Rias knew there something strange about Daisuke, more strange than what her life is already due to being a devil. "And alright, I'll be your girlfriend." Rias try not to blush as she finally got her first boyfriend, but she can feel her cheeks heating up.

"Great. Now, do you have a cellphone?" I look at Rias, who took out a pink flip phone, that made me miss those smartphones now that I realized they might not be a thing in this world. Well, at this time period. Nonetheless, through the usage of [Book of the End]. I created a flip phone with all the data plans and whatever. With no required payment whatsoever.

It only took a minute or two before Rias and I have each other numbers. I peak a little with the help of [Chariot Requiem], where Rias actually save my numbers as her boyfriend.

"Now, that we have our own way to contact each other now. How we go on a date? Or do you have something important to do right now?" I ask Rias since it almost been an hour now since we met. No idea if there are people looking for her or not.

"Well, technically, I don't. But, I got some friends waiting for me back home. How about we schedule our date for some other days?" Rias made up an excuse since she honestly can't believe she got herself a boyfriend today and someone full of mystery. But, she rather not have her first date while wearing her school uniform. Rias already have a dream of what her first date would be like and what clothes she will be wearing. "I'll call you later today when I find out what day I have free time. Right now, I should have returned home by now."

"That's fine." I lean close to Rias, to give her another kiss on the lip, and once again, I can see the surprised look in her eyes, that she did not expect me to give her a third kiss so early. "Well, later Rias." I stand up before waving Rias goodbye as I search for a nearby hotel or motel if the former isn't a thing in this town. Hopefully, it isn't run by a creature of the supernatural world. Because that would just make things a bit difficult for me. But, that won't stop me from murdering them if they end up crossing me.


3 hours later*

(Kuoh Town: Unknown Hotel: #404)

"Well, that was easy." I thought out loud, that it didn't take me that much effort to find a decent hotel to rent a room for a night. Then again, when money is involved. In most cases, you'll get things your way.
