Life: 24
The Following after my "training" session with Grayfia I found myself in the occult research club room due to learning a very interesting fact from Sona. A fact that made my eyes twitch when I thought about it.
"You destroyed the bodies?" I asked incredulously.
Rias just raised an eyebrow and tilted her head to the side in confusion.
"You'll have to be more specific." Rias said giving me a confused look.
"The fallen angels, Sona informed me that you had disposed of the bodies instead of returning them to the grigori. Do you have any idea how bad that looks on our part?" I question the Gremory heiress who only looks at me as if I grew a second head.
"I think you are overthinking this." She says causing me to rub my temples.
"And I think you're under thinking this." I grumbled.
"Pot meet kettle." Rias smirked when she spoke.
I sigh at the obvious dig at me before looking at her with displeasure clear on my face.
"You know that's a stretch." I say only to earn a scoff from the red head.
"Hardly. You have a history of plunging head first into situations without thinking then through all just to sate your whims." She pointed out.
"There's a difference between trying to relieve myself of boredom and desecrating the bodies of the fallen like they are a common stray." My retort was met with a peeved looking Rias.
"It's not like I committed a crime after all they were the one's trespassing. Besides it's not like I didn't do a good deed. Oh Raynare!" Rias called out only for the fallen angel to come into the room.
She was wearing the Kuoh Academy uniform and held a look of disappointment on her face.
"Wait your still alive? I thought you died?" I asked confused by her appearance.
"I wish I had." She muttered angrily.
"Oh come now it's not that bad." Rias said before turning her attention to me.
"I found dead this one clinging to life and decided to reincarnate her. She took four of my Pawns. Not bad if I do say so myself." Was she expecting me to congratulate her?
"Good for you." I say before asking the next question on my mind.
"Did you tell anyone about Raynare, like your brother or one of the other satans?" My question was met with a frown.
"No I didn't see the need for that." I wanted to facepalm so badly at that moment.
"You realize that this is the sort of thing that you should report right?" I said feeling a headache coming over me.
"I fail to see how such a thing is that important as to interrupt my brother from his busy work schedule." She said placing a hand to her hip.
"You know what? Forget it. I'm sure this'll all be fine." I say giving up.
"Glad you could see it my way." Rias said no doubt feeling great about herself.
"Yeah of course, I mean it'll all just be swept under the rug anyways." I shrug which causes the red head to glare at me.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Rias asked clearly not appreciating what I was implying.
"Just that anytime you get yourself in trouble brother dearest is there to bail you out." I speak with a knowing edge in my voice.
"You dare insult me?" She placed a hand to her chest to emphasize her feeling of insult.
"Just pointing out the truth." I say before standing up.
"Now I should go before things escalate further." I try to be an adult about this really I did but she makes it so hard at times.
"Oh? Escalate how exactly?" She seemed interested.
"With a rating game." My words seem to strike a chord ass Rias' eyes widen.
"And how would you go about that?" She asked me intrigue clear in her eyes.
"Does it matter? We both know I would win." I say matter of factly which seems to get right under her skin.
"You say that as if it were fact. Just because you have an impressive line up doesn't mean you should take me and my family easily." She said with a smirk on her lips that made me roll my eyes.
Maybe it's time someone shows her that not everything will go her way.
"Fine. I'll talk with Sirzechs about setting something up. However let's make this more interesting and put in a wager." I suggest and she nods in agreement.
"I was thinking the same thing. Winner gets to do whatever they want to the loser. How does that sound?" Rias says but I wonder if she realizes just what she's suggesting.
"Agreed." I say shaking her hand.
"This is crazy! We'll surely lose!" Raynare shouted out causing the Gremory heiress to shake her head.
"Don't worry I have a plan." She says in a manner that can only be described as arrogant.
I for one decided to leave allowing Rias to explain her master plan to Raynare. Once outside I hear frantic screaming, being the dashing hero that I'm not, I walked in the direction of the screams only to see the Perverted Trio being chased by Jack who had her knives drawn which is odd since I distinctly remember telling her she couldn't bring them to school. Upon noticing me Jack stops and quickly hides the knives behind her back. Seeing that she had stopped in her pursuit of the three perverts they thought it best to hide behind me.
"Jack, why are you chasing these three?" I asked and she looked down in shame.
"Because we caught them peeping on us in the locker room." She answered causing me to give a murderous glare to the three of them.
"I see. Well in that case I should give them the choice who do you want to kill you? Me or Jack? And please say me. I really wanna wring your necks." I ask and immediately the shrieked.
"Jack!" They shouted in fear.
"Definitely Jack!" They were on the verge of tears as they spoke.
"What a shame. Alright then Jack you have my permission to castrate the three of them." I say and she beams at me.
"Well can cut them up?" She asked excitedly.
"Yup." I replied with a bright smile to match her own.
"But first give them the chance to run. I'd say a minutes head start should suffice." I suggest and she nods.
"Alright! We're going to give you a minute to run which starts now." Jack informed the trio.
"This is so not cool!" They cried mouth as they began to run.
"So your not mad at us mom?" Jack asked.
"No. The moment they peep on one of you girls their lives are forfeit as far as I'm concerned." I say before rubbing her head.
"We don't want anyone but mom to see us like that." She said nuzzling her head into my hand.
"That's right. No one is allowed to see you like that." I said feeling a little possessive of the girl...am I a yandere?
"We love you mom!" Jack chirped and I smiled before giving her a kiss.
"And I love you too." My actions are rewarded with a blush on Jack's face.
"Mom we have to go now or else they'll get away." Jack says before running off in the direction of the perverted trio.
"Just make sure you don't kill them!" I called out.
I'm sure she heard me.
Later on that day, I found myself lounging around the club room. Lying down on one of the couches my head placed on Jeanne's lap.
"You know Barisol if you ever want to do this again just ask and your big sister Jeanne will happily oblige." Jeanne said while rubbing my head in soft fluid motions.
"I might just have too." I said feeling so content at the moment as she just smiled down at me.
"Hmm…" I heard someone muttering to themselves.
"Is something wrong Le Fay?" Jeanne asked her fellow blonde who was eyeing a book with an intense gaze.
"Huh? Oh I'm just trying to learn this new spell and its being difficult." She answered looking at us only to realize the position we are in and immediately turned her face back to the book with a massive blush on her face.
"Oh sorry I didn't mean to interrupt anything!" She said moving her face closer into the book.
I smiled at her reaction and sat up only to walk over to Le Fay and place an arm around her causing her to release a little "eep". She looked up to me only to see that I was reading over the spell.
"That's some advanced stuff right there. I'm pretty sure that this would even give me trouble. I'm very impressed Le Fay." I praise the girl only to earn a smile on her face.
"What? I'm sure you'd be able to figure it out." Le Fay said trying to be polite but I just brush my hand against her cheek.
"Nonsense. You should just accept our King's praise." Jeanne said also coming over and looking over the book.
"So how about you take a break from studying that book?" I said and Le Fay looked at me with curiosity in her eyes.
"And do what?" She asked and I turned to Jeanne who smiled and gave me a nod of her head.
"Just follow me this way." I answer leading her by the hand to the couch.
I sit down and have her lay herself down and put her head in my lap. Maybe it was an unconventional lap pillow but it worked for what I needed. Plus Le Fay seemed to enjoy it.
"Not quite what I was expecting." Jeanne said taking a seat next to me and holding onto my arm.
"Well, aren't you being quite the assertive one today." I say to the former holy maiden who blushes slightly and clears her throat.
"It's the job of the Knight to assist her King's ever need." She said putting emphasis on the word every.
"Well who am I to argue with that?" I say before leaning forward and capturing her lips with my own.
"Hey!" Le Fay pouted causing me to laugh briefly before I did the same with her.
"There better?" I asked only to receive a blush from the witch.
"I'm glad." We stayed like that for some time until the timer on my phone went off signaling me that it was time that I go.
"Sorry girls but I have to go take care of some business." I say making Le Fay sit up and Jeanne to let go of me.
"Is it anything we can help with?" Le Fay asked and I shook my head.
"No not this time around." I say before activating a magic circle.
"I'll see you two tonight. Until then have a good rest of the day." I say before teleporting away.
I reappear in a hospital room in Sitri territory, there inside was Sairaorg and his mother Misla Bael the latter of which was in a coma due to the sleeping devil disease. Sairaorg looked at me confused as to why I was here.
"Barisol?" He tilted his head in confusion as I stepped towards his mother.
"I have an idea that's a little on the crazy side but might just work." I say before placing a hand on Misla's chest.
Soul Mend - LVL 1 - Passive - The player is able to mend the soul, rather if it be one's own or another! This knowledge is a pathway to powers that many would find unnatural!
I guess it's time to see just how far I can go with this knowledge. My hand becomes ephemeral and easily sinks into her body allowing me to tamper with her soul. It takes me some time to find what I'm looking for but I do manage to find the wound in her soul that is this disease. I then do the one thing I can think of, I mend it.
Upon pulling my hand out she begins to stir. This causes Sairaorg's eyes to start to swell up with tears as his mother opens her eyes for the first time in years.
"Mom." He chokes out.
"Sairaorg? You've gotten so big. How long was I asleep for?" SHe asked and Sairaorg wrapped her into a hug.
"Too long mom. Way too long." Was he could say.
"Thank you Barisol." Sairaorg said to me.
"Don't mention it. You're my brother Sairaorg, I love you." I say and he pulls me into the hug as well.
"I love you too." He said back tears streaming down his eyes.
"And cut!" The director called out.
"Praetor, how was my performance?" Nero asked and I smiled at her but before I could answer someone beat me to it.
"You were great Nero-tan! I had no idea you were so talented. You were simply amazing I can already tell that our viewership will only increase now that you've joined!" Serafall said causing the emperor of roses to give a haughty smile.
"Umu, umu! I appreciate the praise coming from a well accomplished performer such as yourself." Nero said brightly.
"Just think with the three of us working together there's no way we won't be able to usurp Gabriel from her number one spot." Serafall cheered and I just kinda sighed before nodding my head.
This was how it's been for the last few days since Nero joined the show. It seems she and Serafall really get along which is a relief.
Especially since you still have this quest to fulfill!
The Magical Girl Maou's Black Book!
You are on the path of obtaining the love and affection of one Serafall Leviathan! Will you enjoy a night of debauchery with the magical maou and discover a world of secret pleasures or will you let her slip by!
Objectives!
Make Serafall Leviathan fall in love with you!
Rewards!
Increase reputation with Serafall Leviathan!
You get a magical girl in your harem!
Yeah that quest, that I wasn't aloud to decline or accept out of my own volition.
You know you want!
That's besides the point.
"By the way Bari-tan, I got news for." Serafall said earning my attention.
"It seems Sirzechs has agreed to letting you and Rias having a rating game. He hopes that it'll cause her to grow as a person. But I just want you to know that I'll be the one refereeing the match. I'll be rooting for you." She said causing me to smile.
"Thanks Sera-tan, but shouldn't you remain unbiased?" I ask and she just looks at me with a smile.
"Nah, it'll be fine besides if anyone is to win it'll be my Bari-tan." She says.
"Oh, your Bari-tan? And since when has the praetor been yours?" Nero asked out of the blue.
"Since we first met of course! It was love at first sight I tell you." Serafall said but before anyone could retort she was called away by the director.
"She is most spirited, a worthy rival indeed." Nero said with a smirk before she glomped my arm.
"Umu, umu, so tell me praetor what is this rating game that she mentioned?" She asked and I looked at her.
"Right I forgot to explain that to you. In essence a rating game is a competition between two devils with a Peerage. Think of it as a mock war scenario." I explain and Nero nods her head.
"I see and we'll be participating in one against the devil with red hair?" Nero asked for confirmation.
"That's right. Usually I we would be seen as too young and told that we couldn't but I was able to pull a few strings to have the arrangement met." I say and Nero puts her hands on her hips.
"To be expected of the man that I call praetor. You don't disappoint." Nero spoke with pride in her voice.
"Well I try." I say before looking at the time.
"I have to get going, I'll meet you and the others at the house back in Kuoh." Nero frowns at hearing that I have to go so soon.
"Very well I shall permit this. But you better be ready for tonight." She said pressing a finger into my chest.
"Of course." I say before heading to the Sallos estate.
"Barisol?" My father said confused upon seeing me.
"We weren't expecting you here?" Khazak said before noticing something.
"Hmm, something is different about you...but I can't quite put my finger on it." He said leaning in towards me.
"While I'd love to stay and chit chat. I'm afraid I'm here to pick up Fenrir and Mittens." I say and he leans back.
"Alright, Fenrir is in the garden and head butler Mittens in the basement as per usual when he's not fulfilling any duties." Father explained and I nodded.
"Thanks!" I say before rushing past him to get my two Pawns, however I was stopped by Lemrina who looked at me with her usual cold stare.
"So who was it?" She asked and I tilted my head in confusion.
"I guess it doesn;t matter so long as you give me lots of grandkids." She said causing me to blush up a storm.
"Mom!" I cried out and she just gave me a confused stare.
"What? Its within the best interest of the family that you produce as many children as possible." She says which only increased my blush.
"I don't have time for this." I say before pushing past her and heading to the garden.
"Fenrir, how's my favorite boy?" I ask approaching the wolf who gives a howl of joy at seeing me.
"Have they been treating you well?" I ask scratching behind his ears.
He once again howls out a joyful howl that I take as a yes.
"Good to hear. Now let's get Mittens and we can be on the way to Kuoh." I say only to turn around and be greeted by the aforementioned wendigo.
"No need master, once I sensed your presence I came straight away. How may I serve you?" He questioned taking a bow.
"Mittens today we head to Kuoh, all of us." I say looking at the two Pawns that I had to leave behind before hand.
"You see we'll be partaking in a rating game." I say and Mittens nods his head while Fenrir gives a bark of approval.
With that I open a transportation circle and we head back to the human world.
"So wait he gets redeemed after killing a bunch of people including children, all because he saved his own kid?" Ravel asked clearly not buying into the lore of the movie.
"Well, he did sacrifice himself." I point out and she just looks at me with an unimpressed look.
"He still killed a lot of people which again includes children. Not only that but he blew up a whole planet, how does when get redeemed after that?" She points out and I don't have an answer for her.
"Why the hell are we even watching Star Wars? It's not even close to a b movie?" Leo questions and I just sigh at the boy.
"Because Ravel and Koneko hadn't seen them yet." I say to answer his question.
"Okay but aren't we the b movie club? Shouldn't we watch b movies? I mean I love Star Wars don't get me wrong but this doesn't seem to be in line with what the club is supposed to stand for." Leo crossed his arms.
"You mean a club that we use as cover to hide the fact that we're all devils?" Koneko deadpan.
"She's got you there Leo." Michella says before taking a drink provided to her by Mittens.
"Thanks Mittens you are such a sweetheart." She says to the creature.
"Do not mention it. I live to serve master and those he deems unfit for me to devour." Mittens said causing the girl to look at the butler in a new light.
"Okay, that's a bit scary." She said before taking a drink.
"That's what I've been saying for years!" Sairaorg called out from the other room.
"Hmm, I liked the movie." Koneko noted.
"Thank you." I said before turning over to Ravel waiting for an answer.
"I mean it was good don't get me wrong. I just think I agree that Darth Vader was redeemed is all." She said looking away from.
"I'll take it. Score for me." I say marking an invisible scoreboard.
"What are you doing?" My fiance asks and I just shrug.
"I like to keep score of what movies we all like as a club. Makes it easier to figure out what movies to pick. FOr example next week it'll be The Children of the Corn two and three." I say and Ravel rolls her eyes at me.
"You dork." She says before standing up.
"But I'm your dork." I say before looking towards Koneko who had grabbed ahold of my hand.
"Is there something you need Kitten?" I ask and she nods her head.
"I don't really like horror movies...could you pick something else?" She asked and immediately I shook my head.
"Sure no problem." I say and she smiles faintly at me.
"Thank you." I nod back but was pulled away when Grayfia placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Master there is someone that wishes to speak with you in private." The silver haired maid informed.
"Sure no problem." I say before turning to everyone else in the room.
"Would you guys mind giving us some room?" I asked and just like that they all obliged and cleared out.
Suddenly someone walked into the room, it was Rentaro Yashiro. He looked as aloof as he normally did but he held a package in his hands.
"Hey Rentaro, is there something I can help you with?" I asked and he handed me the package.
"I thought you might like to have this." He said and I open the box only to see the sacred gear that I had pulled from the vigilante.
"How did you get this?" I asked in shock.
"He didn't listen to my orders so I had to take care of him. I thought you'd like to have this considering he won't be using it anymore." He said with the faintest of smirks on his face.
"Who are you?" I questioned and he just shook his head.
"That'll have to wait." He said causing me to growl in frustration.
I but hand on his shoulder but he slapped it away.
Critical Hit! You took 6811 damage!
The hell I'm only on one HP! And damn did that hurt.
"Like I said before you'll soon learn who I am but you must first be patient Barisol Sallos." He said before disappearing, leaving myself to clutch my hand.
How the hell did that happen? Maybe I'll have to use these sooner than I thought.
In my hand were two pieces of candy covered by a blue wrapper. They were the secret reward I got from completing the quest To Save a Tainted Angel. They were none other than rare candies. I had thought to save them for later but now I'm beginning to think differently.
Shouldn't you think this through?
Well you see there are two types of people out there. Those that think ahead of the game so much that they plot every little detail out, then there are those that rely on instinct and simply do what comes naturally to them without giing any thought to the consequences. I try to be the former but tend to be the latter.
With that I swallow the two candies receiving two instantaneous level ups.

AN: Chapter complete! And what a way to start off the new year!
nyanodesu: I wouldn't do that again, besides his time was up. Glad you liked it!
narutoxasuna25: Yeah Le Fay and Jeanne will have their scene eventually. Don't worry I have no intention of including Rias or Akeno into the pairing, they are quite honestly my least favorites.
Shadic21: Here you go and thanks!
taichi11: Well glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Atalanta could always join if she gets rolled in the gacha. As stated above I have no intention of including Rias or Akeno so don't worry about it.
NazgulBelserion: Glad you liked it, I was honestly a bit nervous, so it's good to see that so many people approved. Also yeah he did pass out from one shot, but now he has both light and holy resistance. But I disagree if anything I feel having the Soul of Lucifer would make him even more vulnerable to light but that's just me.
Type Ouroboros: Glad to hear!
The One True Demon Lord: Hmm, I might have rad that one and it would funny for Ophis to declare herself Barisol's pet. I like the idea of that fluff chapter I might just use it in the future. Thanks and you keep up the good work as well!
GrayWolfDen: Sure why not?
OechsnerC: Thanks and you'll just have to wait and see.
sykartracer: Good to read your review! As for Raynare there was no way I was gonna keep her dead but your right, you can't save them all.
Frescko: Oh man I didn't even think of that, maybe she is…
TheHiddenLettuce: Yes, but don't expect one for some time. At least until after the rating game.
Nayrcon: Glad you enjoyed my use of the boosted gar. Also good to know my first one was of decent quality! Yeah maybe I am spoiling you guys but I quite like to so it's okay.
Ragna: Is that a bad thing though?
Maxinonor: Thank you. But Yeah the vigilante arc is over just a few small things to take care of in the next chapter and then we can move onto the rating game against Rias which is replacing the Riser arc.
Zetazero246: Hmm, not a bad idea, but no Dracul is the result of the original Dracula siring a child with a dragon.
MarionStrings: I didn't find anything you said rude. Thank you I will.
naruuzu13: Thanks!
Guest: Glad to hear it!
