It just became summer and i decided to introduce the Cerberus i befriended when we fought Kokabiel. But first i had decided to go for a run with him. I woke up early to get a few hours of running before the others woke up. In his dog form, he could easily keep up with me. Also due to being a German Shepard he also looked strong and rather fierce. He wasn't scary to look at but you could tell by looking that you would be stupid to wrong him. When we arrived back, both Sona's and Rias' peerage were in my house gathered around the tv waiting for me.

"Why is everyone here?"

They all turn around to my voice and stare at me and the dog.

"There was something that concerns the two peerages and seen as you are a part of both of them, we decided to talk about it here."

"Fine. This is Berus, he is the Cerberus i befriended when we fought Kokabiel."

Berus lets out a quiet bark before disappearing. I make my way further into the room and sit down after noticing Azazel sitting in the corner un-noticed.

"So what's going on?"

"We are going to the underworld."

Sona was the one who answered me. That's kinda brief, they coulda just told me about it at anytime if it's just that.

"What else?"

"The plan is to train and attend various parties and events in the underworld."

At the word party, i felt the blood drain from my face. Parties is not a good word for me, they usually mean a lot of people and these ones will mean i have to be nice and formal.

"Could i attend the parties as a wolf?"

"We'll see. The other thing is training, we want to know what you'll do."

"Hmm ... I would like to train with Koneko for a week and then spend the rest training and such with you, Sona."

That was it. That's all that happened that day, after that the peerages were dismissed and everyone went about their day. I went back to training and ran for another hour before doing other physical workouts. I didn't really Gofannon that day either, only when it was time to eat. He had been with the furnaces all day, i think he had started to get requests from the underworld or he was making a load of different styles and shapes to get ready for it.

It was the next day and both peerages were back again at my house though this time they were waiting outside. I was the last to go outside because Gofannon had given me a load of swords to take with me. It was about 9 in total, i was to choose one and use it to try and promote it in fights or something. The others were to be given to blacksmiths to sell there and gain his fame that way under my name. This was also going to be good business for the Sitri clan. We all walked together in a big group with the kings at the front holding onto me like i would try to run away. We made our way to the nearest train station and stopped in front of an elevator. We took our time going down as only 5 could enter at once so it took about 6 trips to take us all down.

When we reached the bottom, we arrived in an expansive room. It looked like a larger version of the train station above us, there was also signs all around showing directions to different platforms. Other signs were filled with devil letters which was still rather unknown to me, i had got a basic grasp of it but it didn't help me that much. When we were set to go to our platforms, we split up. I went with Rias to platform 3 and Sona went to platform 8. When we arrived at the platform, i saw a long train. It wasn't the typical train because it looked a little wider and taller. It was also covered in devil letters and the Gremory insignia.

We all entered the train and Rias went to the carriage ahead of us. Azazel sat at the back of the carriage by himself, and i sat opposite him with Koneko sitting next to me. The others were all at the front of the carriage sitting together.

Riiing!

The departure whistle sounded and the train rocked before starting to move. We advance through a dark tunnel for several minutes before the others started talking. They spoke at a reasonable level until it was something that everyone could know. Such as '1 hour', that's how long the train ride was going to take according to Akeno. It's a long time to just sit here for, both me and Koneko were quiet so nothing would be said. She had already fallen asleep while resting her head on my lap. After deciding to give up with doing anything, i go to sleep myself at the same time as Azazel.

I wake up sometime later as i hear a beeping sounding. I wake up to see a bearded man pointing a machine at me with Rias just to his right. The bearded man stares at me with a smile as my eyes stay half open. As it stopped beeping he gave me a wider smile before turning to Azazel, Rias turned her gaze downwards and i followed to see Koneko still asleep but i noticed that she had started drooling in her sleep and my pants were drenched. I placed my hand on her head and started to pat her and her some muffled noises coming from her mouth.

"Have fun by yourself?"

I turned my gaze to Rias after i finished. My expression was blank but my voice contained a hint of sarcasm. She didn't answered me, she just turned her head to the side and crossed her arms. I didn't care, it feels easier on me that way. I then took out my phone as i remembered something important. I hadn't told the chief that i was going to be away for a month. After sending the text, i put my phone away and woke Koneko up. She stared at me half awake with her drool glistening on her lips and a small string hung from her lower lip. It captured my heart at first glance and i couldn't help but smile unconditionally. She continues to look at me for a few seconds but falls asleep again and goes back to lying on my lap.

We had not long passed the half way mark and the tunnel had just finished and we could see the underworld. The landscape was vast and varied, it was lush in both vegetation and people. There were plenty of buildings varying in size and popularity. From my seat i could see people looking up at the train and others would gather round and stare. Is Rias really this popular or is it the name? I know she is revered in school but what about here, is it the same? Would this spell bad luck for me? With her being popular then there is going to be a keen eye on her peerage especially myself and Issei holding legendary dragons. Hopefully Issei will be looked at more-so because of Ddraig but i could still be unlucky because of Zirnitra, he was friendly with Serafall so he may be well known to others. Could that mean people coming up to me to talk to Zirnitra and find out about me? I hope not, i have enough trouble with it at school. I had only just noticed but Rias was sitting next to me staring at my face while i was in thought. I turned to look at her and her face went red slightly.

"Is there a reason you are staring at me?"

The level of my voice was unexpectedly loud, the entire carriage could hear me, it wasn't what i had intended though.

"..No. Not really."

Rias answered me warily and a little scared.

"Then don't do it. It's freaking me out."

I turn my head away from her and stared forward. Out of the corner of my eyes i could see the others to the left speaking quietly with a frustrated Issei and to my right a slightly upset Rias.

"Issei, if it upsets you so much then take her."

My voice come out full of anger and in a growl. Issei did exactly that, he came over and took Rias by the wrist and took her to the others. She stared at me the whole time with wide eyes that were red around the edges. Out of the two people asleep at the back, i had woke up one of them. That person was Azazel and despite the atmosphere he had no care in the world and spoke loudly.

"Yaah, Sora-kun. Not a very friendly dog, are you?"

"Never have been. It only gets worse when people push it."

"So you don't like her doing it?"

"Precisely. If i didn't like it the first time then you shouldn't really continue to do it, it will get worse and you will be hurt."

I shrug my shoulders while i answer him. It's true, she has fawned over me a lot and i just shrug her off and go to Koneko. The others stopped speaking between each other as Azazel started the conversation.

"So it's an unrequited love?"

"Yes, there shouldn't be love at all between a master and a servant. It's weird enough with Sona but i put up with it because i like her character."

"Is there anyway for it to be requited?"

Despite his jokes, i guess Azazel can be a nice guy. How he is doing this though could work out good or bad depending on my answer.

"I don't see why not. The only thing is that she would have to change how she acts but it's pointless and stupid."

"What? Why?"

Azazel actually sounded kinda interested, before he sounded like he was doing it for Rias' sake but now he was intrigued with my thought process.

"That should be obvious, i'll say everything then so you understand. I don't care about looks, the make-up and stuff like that is stupid. If you wear it then it shows you aren't comfortable with how you naturally look which influences how i see you but to be completely honest i would go out someone even if they were the ugliest person on earth. The only thing i care about is personality, if their personality is what i like then i'll make an effort with them."

"You really don't care about looks?"

"No, the people who do are selfish. If you go out with someone because of how they look then what's the point? We are people who are all individuals with our own interests and thought processes. Going out with someone who you only like because of their appearance is like going out with a doll."

"So the inside is more important than the outside?"

"No. The inside is the only thing that's important. Can i ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

I had really piqued his interest now, he was leaning forward.

"Would you go out with someone if they had the perfect personality and had an average body?"

"I don't know."

"There you go, your answer is ultimately no. People like you are the reason why girls without slim bodies or big breasts are so self-conscious. It's despicable."

I start to get a little pissed and i glare at Azazel.

"Look at Issei. He is obsessed with breasts and that's one of the reason's he was killed and became a devil."

"One?"

"Yeah. She was 'cute' with big breasts and there was the fact that he had never had a girlfriend before, there is also the sacred gear but that's not needed here. He undoubtedly said yes without a hesitation, he had never met the girl before and he had never even seen her before yet he still said yes. He was either really desperate, or said yes because of her body, or because he was praying she had a great personality which i completely doubt that it even came into his mind."

I was now completely bashing on Issei as a person while all eyes had turned on us. Koneko had woken up at some time during the conversation and was sat up.

"There is also the fact that some girls have problems whether it's extremely severe or rather small. Would you bother with her after you found out about it? Maybe if it was the small one right, because they are relatively easy to deal with and you get something good out of it."

My voice starts to change at the end and becomes something i can't quite peg. It's anger but there are other emotions as well.

"That then leaves the girls with the big problems who deal or can't deal with it by themselves. It's agonizing to even think about, the girls can have major psychological problems that have plagued them since they were young but the girls get cast aside by most guys once they hear about it because 'the girls aren't worth the hassle'. I know it's not really my place to say it but guys really have no idea what girls go through even if it's the tiniest thing because it will itch at them and become something huge."

My fists start to scrunch up and i grip the edge of the seat i'm on.

"Do guys even bother to think about that? Even the pretty or perfect girl can have these problems, the prettier ones normally do but the guys can't tell. The normal girls are plagued with the worst and the fact that they don't look perfect but the pretty/perfect girls are plagued with the slightly smaller stuff .. that isn't all of the time though. Guys are complete egotists, as long as we feel good who cares about the girls problems they'll get over it eventually."

Azazel was staring at me in shock, everyone was. My sudden outburst had continued after the train had stopped. The doors to the train had opened and we were all planted to our seats. I was the only one to get up and i walked to the door and turned my head to Azazel.

"Think about it. Are you one of those guys who only care for looks?"

I took a step forward and placed my hand or the side of the carriage.

"You probably are. You make it look like you care to swoon the woman and then she becomes devoted to you and when she tries to confide in you, you do nothing but you have been so good to the girl in the past that she keeps up her hope and believes in you until she is truly heartbroken."

I tap my hand against the side and then leave. I walk straight past the servants and soldiers that were lined up and see some carriages in the back. I move towards them and completely disregard Grayfia who notices me and calls out to me. I get in the carriage before the driver could help at all.

{Kid. You got quite heated there.}

'..I guess i did. I'm not wrong though.'

{You aren't. I also believe you said it at a good time.}

'You mean Rias?'

PanPanPanPan!
Fireworks exploded in the background as i slightly cowered a little. Friggin' dog senses.

{Yeah.}

A few minutes later after the noise dies down, i am joined on the carriage by Grayfia, Issei, Rias, Asia and Xenovia. Xenovia sits next to me with Grayfia across from me with Rias and Issei next to her as Asia sits next to Xenovia. I feel their eyes on me as the carriage starts to move.

"I believe i have already said i don't like people staring at me."

I continue to look out of the window as i sigh. It's something i took a great interest in. I had check articles online about cases similar to it and found out that some guys commit suicide over it. I can understand that it get's so overwhelming but is it necessary to take your life because of it? I'm not so sure on it but it could seem like the only option.

A couple of minutes later and we arrive outside a large castle. The driver opens the door to the carriage and lets us out, we were greeted by a butler and leads us to the front gate where we meet with the others. I lag behind slightly as i don't really want to be near them. I'm slightly irritated now, i may have gone too far but i couldn't help myself. I was slightly relieved when i noticed that Azazel wasn't here anymore. We all walked down a red carpet which had been spread out along the path from the gate to the large doors of the castle. Maids and butlers lined the outside of the carpet as they all stood in line with perfect posture. They all welcomed Rias individually as she went past them. I was starting to get tired of walking so i transformed into a Kestrel and flew onto Koneko's shoulder and flew asleep after tightening my grip on her.

As i slept, i could see fluffy purple clouds all around me. There was only one thing here other than the clouds and it was Zirnitra in his dragon form, he was lying down next to me with a large smirk on his face.

{When you wake up there is something that's going to happen to you so you'll need to go somewhere private.}

At the end of his sentence i felt myself wake up and i looked round the room to see everyone seated at the table accompanied by two other people. A man and a woman, the woman looked identical to Rias so she was either her sister or mother but seeing her next to the man made me think she was Rias' mother. I jumped off Koneko's shoulder and flew to the door and quickly transformed and opened the door. As soon as i got outside i was greeted by two maids. They then pointed me towards the restroom and i quickly went there as Zirnitra formed the gauntlets around my hands and i flashed a black light.

Once it disappeared i looked into the window and noticed a lot of changes. I had shrunk slightly but not by much, my hair was also a lot longer which finished half way down my back and stayed silver but was shinier. The main difference was my gender, i had become a girl. My face had become a lot more feminine and my chest grew out, it wasn't Rias or Akeno size but they were larger than Xenovia's. My clothes had also changed to fit my new body but thankfully stayed the same.

{Yes, you are half woman. While i was looking through Evolutio, i saw that you are actually both male and female due to some animals being asexual. You have built up a lot of time as a male so you are going to have to be a girl for at least a month.}

'Seriously?! How often do i have to be a girl?'

{After this month, it would be best for an hour a day or to spend a day on the weekend as a girl. They would balance it out well.}

Zirnitra made the gauntlets disappear as i left the restroom and made my way back to the dining area.

'How is my fighting going to be?'

{For how you fight, it'll be better. Being a girl will help you with some of your moves due to flexibility plus it'll help you learn to control my power better because as a girl you are more towards magic as your male side is more geared towards physical attacks.}

'Hmm ... I can take this week training with Koneko to get accustomed to physical fights in this form. It's also good that Sora is considered a unisex name.'

Zirnitra nods to me as i open the door to the dining room and i make my way to the empty seat as the others stare at me. Issei's stare was the worst, i could tell he didn't know it was me and that he was staring at my breasts as they bounced due to the lack of a bra.

"...You are?"

The unknown man spoke to me.

"I am Okami Sora. It's nice to meet you."

I bowed my head from across the table. Am i more polite as a girl?

"I thought you were a boy."

"That is half true. My dragon told me that due to my ability to transform into animals, i am half girl and half boy because some animals are asexual. I have spent every single day as a boy and not one day as a girl so i have to spend the next month as a girl before i can go back to being a boy, this unfortunately means that i'll have to go shopping due to the lack of a bra."

I noticed Issei's eyes widen from across the table as i said 'no bra'. The others continued to look at me as i made my gauntlets appear.

"See. Also i hope this shows Issei that i am still Sora and if he continues to stare at me then i will beat him to near death."

Despite the seriousness in my voice, you could tell i was teasing. I felt happier as a girl for some reason, maybe my personality is different. Friendly and outgoing as a girl and closed out as a guy. Strangely, Zirnitra wasn't even laughing at me. This confused me greatly.

"Okami Sora-chan. How has your father been?"

"He has been pretty busy the past few days. He has been making swords to be sold in the underworld through the Sitri clan, i had to bring them with me and is making me use one."

"Think he could do for the Gremory clan?"

"No but i can. I've only recently got up to his level and i work with him a lot of the time although i can only make swords as he can do almost everything."

"We can sell them under your name as well. We will send you materials and extras to help with your furnace, also some tools as well."

"That'd be great. Most of what i do are specific looks though so i would prefer to do special ones."

"What do you mean?"

Our conversation has us both on the edge of our seats and replying as soon as the other finished. He must been passionate about business and possibly gaining a better name for his daughter. I was enjoying the fact i can get more materials to create stuff with. I summoned my brutal fang as i stood up from my chair.

"This was the first sword i built with my father and Zirnitra. It's something i modeled after my favored animal, the wolf. I have also made swords for Issei and Xenovia, Issei's is a dragon version of mine and Xenovia's is in the shape of a cross. I make my swords to the like of the buyer."

"Ahh special order. A custom sword represents the person."

"Yeah, that's it. I feel that it makes the person look after the sword better because it reminds them of something important or of interest with them."

"I see. I'll get onto it straight away."

"May i weigh in on where it's sold?"

"Of course."

"I was thinking how about it be sold through Sirzechs-sama instead of Gremory. I think it would get more publicity and more of a chance to be sold if it's associated with a Maou, it's still got Gremory there because they are made by me but sold through the Lucifer name for more money and more of a chance to be seen."

"...You have a good marketing mind."

"As a girl. I would of just let you do as you wish if i was in my male form."

The smile on the man's face grows larger and larger. Then it comes to me, i hadn't asked them about themselves.

"I'm sorry but i just remembered. I was asleep when you introduced yourselves to the others, i was the bird on Koneko's shoulder. The train ride wasn't how i expected it to go."

The man nods as his smile becomes forced.

"I am Lord Gremory, Rias' father."

"I am Venerena Gremory, Rias' mother. It's nice to meet you."

I bow to them as i sit back down and start to eat my food. The others then start to eat again and i look round the table to see that Koneko has barely eaten anything. Our eyes meet and we just stare at each other for a few seconds before she brings a fake smile to her face and turns away. The rest of dinner past by quietly.

After it i was taken to Rias' room by her and Akeno, a few maids were made to come with us. I was stripped to my underwear so i just wore black boxers covering the bottom half with my breasts on full display. Rias and Akeno stared at me as the maids started to take measurements. Clothes were brought in quickly for me and they made me wear them, supposedly i wasn't allowed to wear my normal clothes. My normal clothes though had turned back to the original size and shape after being taken off.

I was made to wear a black lace bra and panties underneath a frilly black one piece dress. For some reason, i didn't feel ashamed and Zirnitra didn't laugh at me he also didn't look like he was trying to keep it in. It's like we both changed once i became female, it's like i don't keep my normal mentality. I was also put in black doll shoes and they looked at me happily. They pointed a mirror towards me and i noticed two things. Firstly, i saw that my wolf ears had come out and secondly, i looked near enough identical to Grayfia.

"Do you like it?"

One of the maids looked at me as the stared in anticipation.

"I do. Could i have some clothes which allow me to fight easier?"

The maids nodded as they ran out of the room looking for more clothes. I stood there and played with my ears as i continued to look over myself. Will this go over well if it happens when i'm at school? The maids came back quickly with a plain grey t-shirt and black skinny jeans. I now know the hassle some girls have to go through to wear some clothes, they sure do go through a lot to just look good. The t-shirt fit well and allowed easy movement for my arms, the jeans lay on me tight but were surprisingly baggy around the pelvic region. One point down for males in that respect. They didn't give me shoes so i summoned my black and silver hi-tops and put them on, they automatically changed to my new shoe size and fit snugly.

I looked back in the mirror and felt good, this was how i liked it. Could be the only thing that didn't change, my favourite way to dress though in all it changed i guess. That night i found out that i was to sleep with Rias for the week because my plans were with Sona so i had a room to myself there. Just before we went to sleep the first day i found out that a selection of female clothes and underwear in my size had been sent to my house along with a set of the female uniform for school. I feel like they are going to make me be a girl for some days and that means that the school already knows about this. I was told that Lord Sitri and Lord Gremory look over the school and have a lot of pull in the school matters.

The next day started off well. Issei was made to stay behind and learn about devils and learn their alphabet, i was let off due to the knowledge i had and probably the excuse to take me shopping. For some reason, i had to get more clothes. The good thing was that i didn't pay for anything so i got a wide variety of stuff from clothes to shoes to accessories. We also went shopping for dresses and took Gasper with us as Kiba stayed outside because of the sheer amount of girls after him.

When we got back to the Gremory castle we were off again, we went by train to the territory of Sirzechs. We passed through several magic circles that appeared in the air for the long distance jumps. The train ride was three hours long but it went by quickly as i slept most of the way. We finally stopped in an urban area, it looked really similar to the world i lived in but these looked a little more technical and futuristic. The place we arrived in was Luciferd, it is the old capital of the Underworld and is the area that Lucifer lived in. Everyone except me was dressed in the summer uniform, i still didn't have the female uniform yet so i stuck with the clothes i had been wearing. Simple black and grey. We stepped off the train into the station because we were changing to the subway to finish the journey.

"Kyaaah! Princess Rias-sama!"

High pitched cheers erupted as Rias stepped out of the train first. When i got out at the end their cheers stopped and lingered on me. There were a large group of devils that had been staring at Rias before they turned to me. Their looks varied from jealousy to adoration.

"Rias-sama. Who is the silver-haired girl at the back?"

I'm going to be popular then. I suppose that's alright as long as it's only for my female side.

"She is my knight, Okami Sora."

Whispers went round the group of devils as we walked off and onto the subway train. Some of them heard that i was actually a boy after hearing about the marriage breakup. It seems like this whole thing could be quite the hassle. We were only on the subway train for five minutes before stopping and coming upon an elevator in the basement of a large building. We all entered the elevator with plenty of room to spare.

"I'll say it one last time. No matter what happens, stay in a calm state of mind. That's a definite for you Sora, even though you seem more placid as a girl. Please don't start a fight, the people above are future rivals. We mustn't show an unsightly form."

"We best leave Issei out then."

My quick quip was met with laughter and a slight glare as we rode up the elevator. The elevator was fast and opened to an employee standing waiting. As soon as we stepped out he bowed and turned around to lead us further into the building.

We went down multiple passages and stopped as Rias saw some figures she knew in the corner.

"Sairaorg!"

The man called Sairaorg stepped out from his group and came towards us. He was a tall, rugged looking man full of muscles.

"It's been a while, Rias."

He immediately shook her hand when he approached. Despite his size, he seemed easy to approach but i noticed Issei and Asia shrink a little from the sheer pressure of the man. His magical power seemed great.

"Everyone, this is Sairaorg Bael. The next head of the Bael family."

I bowed to him and shook his hand and the church duo followed suit before Issei gingerly shook his hand.

"So, what are you doing in a passage like this?"

"We came out because it was so idiotic in there."

"..Idiotic? Have the other members also arrived then?"

"Agares and Astaroth have already arrived. Zephyrdol came last. Immediately after he arrived, Zephyrdol and Agares started arguing."

Just as we started to walk down the corridor with Sairaorg, the building started to shake and a huge smashing sound came from ahead. I jolted ahead as it caught my attention and i left the others behind. I crashed through the doors ahead of me and came into the room where the smash sound was.
I made my way to the two people that were arguing and stopped near them.

"Zephyrdoll, can you not help starting a fight at a place like this? Do you want to die? Even if i kill you, i won't be blamed by the people on top."

I grabbed myself a chair and a cup of tea by a nearby servant and sat down next to the two and started drinking my tea. My gauntlets formed around my arms. They were thinner now in correspondence with my female features, the greaves formed as well and looked like battle-style heeled boots. (Black version of Judith's Dragon Skin boots in Tales of Vesperia.)

"Hah, i'll say it again bitch. I said that i'd teach you in one shot in a private room with great trouble! The Agares' onee-san really doesn't like being without her guards, now does she? Heh, is that why you're still a virgin who hasn't let a man come near her till now?! Geez, all the women of families of the Maous stink of virgins and are unbearable! That's why i said that i'd do a formal opening ceremony for you!"

This piqued my interest. He was speaking about Sona and Rias as well so i got involved in their conversation.

"If i may interject."

I brought my hand in between them and caught their attention. The female, Agares, stared at me and the male, Zephyrdoll, looked at me lewdly.

"Zephyrdoll-san, the reason she has guards is to be safe from people like you. Your appearance is rough and unpleasant, also your manner of speech is vile."

"Who the hell are you?!"

I turned around before answering him to see Rias and the others just entering the door.

"I'm just a lowly reincarnated devil."

I smirked as i answered him. His fist then flew towards my face but i moved my head to the side and brought my left foot into his crotch and then leaned back making my chair fall backwards pulling him over me and dropping him behind me as i place my hands on the floor to stop myself falling on top of him and push off into the air and flip before landing with one foot on top of him.

"Zephyrdoll-san. It's rather rude to try and punch a women when she is only saying her opinion."

I took my foot straight off of him and stepped back to allow him to get up. He launched another punch at me but i caught it in my hand, he threw his other fist but i caught that as well. I then pushed him away from me but he came back over and over before i turned to Rias.

"Seen as he keeps coming, can i knock him down?"

"..You can. I'm surprised you haven't yet."

He threw another punch while i spoke to Rias and i took a step back to dodge it and kept my right leg out to trip him up. As he went over it, i helped him go down by pushing his top half. I reeled my fist back as black energy forms around it, my gauntlets then flashed and i rocketed my fist down into his back breaking him through the floor causing a hole. I clap my hands together like i'm dusting them off and smile.

"That's a job well done."

I walked back to my original chair and picked it up before sitting down and continuing my tea which had been picked up and refilled. Agares had sat down in her chair next to mine and spoke to me.

"Thank you for helping me out there. May i ask who you are?"

"It was my pleasure, Agares-san. I am Okami Sora, Rias Gremory's Knight and Sona Sitri's Rook."

"The Black Titan. I had heard you were a male though."

"That's true. I have been for the past 17 years, though my ability to turn into any animal makes me become a girl."

I continue to sip my tea as Zephyrdoll is brought up from the hole by Sairaorg and kept away before he wakes up. He appeared to be knocked out. Strange, i thought Zirnitra said i would be weaker.

"Ah, Hyoudou!"

I heard Saji's voice and turned around to see Saji and Sona with her peerage. I smiled to Agares and placed down my cup before moving over to them as they each nearly fell into the hole.

"So you are Saji. I heard about you from Issei, you are a cute one."

Saji starts to blush as he looks at me. I saw his eyes look all over me and Rias and the other's shake their heads. Sona and the others from the looks of it had just caught up with the situation.

"T-Thank you ... W-What's your name?"

"Okami Sora."

"T-That's a cute name."

He hasn't realized it yet. He is actually quite like Issei, maybe a little more tamed.

"Saji, stop staring at me. What did i say my name was?"

I gave him a light slap on his face causing him to look into my eyes.

"Okami ..."

He looked distraught as he finally figured it all out. He looked over me once again not believing what he heard.

"You are Sora?"

"I am. The female version, i also can't prove the male version because i have to be like this for a month before turning back."

I then wave my gauntlets in front of his face proving to him who i was. I then went off to mingle with the others. They all seemed to be jealous of me, it was unfair that i could be both a handsome male and a beautiful girl. I just shrugged my shoulders at them.

"Sorry for making you all wait. Everyone is waiting."

An employee came through the door in the back and gestured for us to go through. Everyone went in with their peerage and i was in between Sona's and Rias'. We entered a large room with a weird atmosphere. Up above us were a lot of seats which held distinguished-looking people. There were more of them higher up as well.

On the level above those two sat four people of which i knew two, Sirzechs and Serafall. They stared at me in confusion as i stood in between Rias and Sona as the rest of the peerages stood in line behind the Kings. The other two were the other two Maous, Asmodeus and Beelzebub. I could easily tell that their magic power was on a completely different level than the other people located above us. It was a weird situation. We were standing in line side by side to the other young devils as we were being looked down upon by the high ups, it was not something which i liked.

I looked at each King to see them all with proper statures apart from Zephyrdoll as his posture was slightly bent after me punching his spine.

"Good, you have gathered. In order to check the faces of you all, who will carry the burden of the next generation, you have been gathered here. This is also a meeting that is performed over a regular cycle, so that we can ascertain the young devils."

The first to speak from above was an elderly looking devil with a solemn voice.

"They seem to have fought as well. Zephyrdoll got his ass kicked by a female lower class devil."

That comment made me raise my hand which Sirzechs responded to.

"Yes, Okami-kun."

"I just want to ask if that comment means he was beaten by the worst thing possible, if so then that's kinda rude even for someone of the past generation."

I turned my head to the side and whistled slightly as the man who had originally said it got angered before being calmed by Sirzechs. Sirzechs then addressed everyone one of the young devils.

"You six are all devils of the next generation that have pedigree and true ability that no objection can be raised against. That's why, i want you to compete together before your debuts and increase your power in this way."

So we will be doing rating games. I guess i'll have to choose my side now, it'll have to be Sona seen as Rias has Issei and Saji hasn't got much of his dragon.

"Will we also eventually be sent out in the battle against the Khaos brigade?"

Sairaorg asked this straight out. Kids got guts.

"I don't know. However, I don't want to send out young devils if possible."

Sirzechs answered as such. Sairaorg raised his eyebrows in seeming incomprehension at that answer.

"Why? Even if we're young, we carry part of the responsibility of devils. If we just receive kindness from our predecessors even at this age and nothing further is done?"

"Sairaorg, I acknowledge your bravery. However, you're reckless. Above all, I'd like to avoid sending you all, who are still in the midst of growing, to the battlefield. Besides, it would be too great a loss if we lost the devils of the next generation. I want you to understand. You are all more of a treasure to us than you think. That's why I want you to experience important things step by step and grow."

Sairaorg said "I understand" to Sirzechs' words, and seemed to consent to his words. But, his expression seemed rather dissatisfied.

After that, the difficult talk continued about difficult words from the higher-ups and about the upcoming games from the Maou. So it wouldn't be ending soon. Wait, I'll have no time to rest even when it ends, as the training will start for the training camp. But I'd like to face the training after I've had a short sleep in bed.

"Now then, I apologize for keeping you with this long talk. Well, we all see our dreams and hopes in you young ones. I want you to understand at least that. You are the treasures of the underworld."

Everyone hung on Sirzechs' words. I understood that there were no lies in the Maou's words as I listened.

"To finish things, will you now let us hear your respective future goals?"

The first to respond to Sirzechs' request was Sairaorg.

"My dream is to become Maou."

He declared that kind of thing suddenly. He dreams well.

""Hoh…""

The higher-ups also let out breaths of wonder at Sairaorg's goal, which he had declared upfront without hesitation.

"It's unprecedented for a devil from the Great King family to leave it."

A male devil higher-up said this.

"When the people of the underworld feel that there's no choice but for me to become Maou, I will become one."

Rias was the next Young Devil to speak.

"My goal for the near future is to live as the next Gremory head, and to win in each Rating Game battle."

I see, so that's Rias' dream and goal. It's rather plain.
Then, Sona spoke.

"I wish to build a school for the Rating Games in the Underworld."

A school! It seemed typical of her to want that. But, while I felt admiration for her, the higher-ups scrunched up their eyebrows.

"If it's learning about Rating Games, isn't there already one for that?"

As if checking, a higher-up asked this to Sona. Sona answered him blandly.

"That is just a school where only high-class devils and devils of privileged rank are accepted. The school that I want to build is one where low-class devils and reincarnated devils can also attend without any distinction."

Ooh, so a school without discrimination. That's good. It would be a good place for the future Underworld.

""Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!""

The laughter of the higher-ups ruled over the assembly hall.
I understand the meaning of there laughter though it was disappointing.

"That's impossible!"

"This is just brilliant!"

"I see! So you're a little girl who dreams!"

"It's good to be young! However, for the next head of the Sitri family to state such a dream, I have to say thank goodness that it was here at this place of introduction before your debut."

...I guess it's still the Victorian era here.
In the midst of all this, Sona spoke frankly.

"I'm serious."

Serafall also nodded strongly in agreement. She almost seemed to be saying "Well said!" With her position as Maou, she couldn't support her younger sister, but even so she seemed really worried about her. A higher-up spoke with cool-headed words.

"Sona Sitri-dono. Low-class devils and reincarnated devils merely work for their high-class devil masters and are only selected for their talent. Wouldn't building such a training institution make the old families, who value tradition and pride, lose face? No matter how much people say that the world of devils has entered a period of change, change can be both good and bad. Something like teaching mere low-class devils really is nothing of your concern…"

The one who couldn't remain silent anymore to these words was Saji.

"Why have you been looking down on Kaichou's?on Sona-sama's dream like that while I've been listening silently!? It's strange! Why should you decide that it won't come true!? We're serious here!"

"Saji, calm down. How they think is in the past and we are the future. If Sona wants this then we will help her to maximum we can and not pay attention to those who think its stupid or pointless. Anyway, i'm sure good old Levi-tan knows how to deal with this."

My voice was calm and low as i spoke to Saji. I looked directly at him the whole time and he became quiet straight away.

"Sora-chan is right! If my Sona-chan wins magnificently in the games, you won't have any complaints, right? Since many things are granted by saving up good results in the games!"

Everyone was surprised by Serafall's sudden suggestion.

"Geez! You oji-samas are all joining forces to torment my Sona-chan! Even I have my limit of endurance! If you bully her that much, I'll torment you as well!"

Serafall spoke to the devil higher-ups with watery eyes. The higher-ups in question blinked their eyes at the livid Serafall. Sona was now covering her face in embarrassment. There are a lot of parts of the old customs of the old families and noble families.

The other three young devils then spoke in turn and said their dreams, none of which were criticized.

"Very well. Then, let's play the games, between these young people."

Everyone paid attention to Sirzechs' words.

"Rias, Sona, would you not like to fight each other?"

I was rather ecstatic ad the rest of the servants were shocked by this unexpected thing!

"..."

"..."

Rias and Sona also stared at each other, and blinked in surprise. Without minding them, Sirzechs-sama continued.

"Originally, it was planned for Rias' game to take place in a few days. Azazel has gathered Rating Game fans from each of the powers, also under the pretext of watching the games of the young people before their debuts. That's why it's fine like this. Let's hold the game with Rias and Sona."

Rias let out a breath, and then showed a defiant smile to Sona. Sona also started to show a scornful smile.

"It may not be an official one, but it feels like fate to me that you would be my first Rating Game opponent, Rias."

"Now that we're competing with each other, I won't lose, Sona."

Sparks were flying right away! Hey, hey, hey, hey! It was Rias vs. Sona, the Occult Research Club vs. the Student Council!

"A match between Rias-chan and Sona-chan! Yes~ It may fire things up!"

Serafall-sama also looked happy!

"The date of the competition is August 20th in human world time. You may each divide up your time as you like until then. The details will be sent again later."

By Sirzechs-sama's decision, the Rating Game between Buchou and Kaichou was going to start in this way!

"The final thing we need to know is about Okami Sora. We need to know who you will fight for."

"I will be fighting for Sona Sitri-sama. Though if there is a rating game for Rias Gremory-sama that does not overlap with a game for Sona-sama then i would like to be able to compete with Rias-sama then. Even if the difference between the games is a day or an hour or even straight after."

My words brought chatter to the higher ups and also too both peerages on either side of me.

"That's fine by me but may i ask why you chose Sona Sitri-dono."

Sirzechs spoke to me after conferring with the other high ups.

"Thank you, the reason is strength. I believe that Rias-sama has the stronger peerage and on top of that the stronger Dragon even if Sona-sama had the full Vitra. I want to fight by Sona-sama's side for that reason and also now to answer Leviathan-sama's words, i will help Sona-sama to complete victory in all games ... No matter the cost."

Yaah, I did a long chapter for this one.
I hope it's alright as it's slightly different to normal DWP chapters.
The rant about girls took a while and wasn't originally gonna be in there.

See you in a week, Ciao.
