Chapter 3
Normal POV
Shouts from the room can no longer be heard, no one could hear them anyway. Only the soft sounds of kisses remains, it was hard to imagine they were having an argument just a while ago. Their bodies so close to each other, neither of them wanting to move away. Passionate kisses gave them both the warmth,
What were they fighting about?/p
Well… that conversation went out of the window when the Amduscias heir pulled the crimson haired closer to him and aggressively gave her a kiss. The girl resisted, but not after a short while the hands that were pushing the boy away even pulled her closer ,It was a silly fight to be honest. A very silly misunderstanding, because the boy gets jealous easily and he's a super posessive guy, it was something he swore to fix during the start of the year. he was doing fine on the first few months until some guy was trying to make a move on his girlfriend. It was something that really ticked him off. He doesn't really get worked up over such things, but the way he talked to her girl rubbed him the wrong way
He was watching them in the hallway; she saw the both of them talking after coming back from the waiting room at a party in the underworld. They seem to be having a good conversation he sees her smile and laugh. he stood there for a few more minutes until he finally hand enough and dashed towards the two them
"Ah Ray, I'm just-" but her words were cut when the guy gave her a glare. (A/N Ray is Rias's nickname for Redmond,and this chapter takes place at the summer break,and they are a couple now)
"Let's go." Redmond said grabbing the girl's hand forcibly all that Rias could do was give the guy a bow as a goodbye
They kept walking with no words being said, anyone who sees them didn't even bothered to say hello since the heir had a scary look on his face. After a few minutes of dragging his thing, the young heir stops at an empty bedroom in the hotel where the ball was held which he enters. The heir finally let go of the girl's hand. he looks outside the window and closes his eyes
"
"What the hell was that about, Ray?!" The girl broke the silence
"I just…" he tried to say an excuse but nothing was coming out
"YOU JUST WHAT? That was really rude what you did back there!" The girl was clearly upset, she loves her boyfriend more and more since he changed to a better person but she can't have him grabbing her hand all the time when she talks to someone inquiring about family business, like what happened earlier
"I'm sorry…" he said still not facing her
"Sorry isn't going to cut it the next time you get jealous." Rias folded her arms together
"Look… I just don't like it when you talk to other guys like that…"/p
"Talk to other guys like what?"
"The way you smiled and laugh at him… It just felt like…"
"Like what?"
"Flirting." he said it with an irritated expression. he couldn't stand it when he sees his girl with other people smiling and laughing like that. Quite childish one might say
"So does that mean you don't trust me?"The young heir didn't say anything, it's not like he doesn't but he can't help but think that other people might steal Rias away from him
"MOU…Sometimes I just don't know what to do with you." Rias said in frustration./p
"That sounds like your treating me like a child!" Redmond exclaimed, he didn't like what he just heard. he doesn't like being referred to as a kid especially by his girlfriend
"But you are a kid by the way you acted earlier!" Rias argued
"Is it bad that I just want your smiles and laughs for myself?!"
"Is it bad that I love you so much that I feel like my heart will explode every time I see you?!"
"Is it bad to that I'm afraid that someone might just take you away from me?!"Redmond stopped as he sees the startled look on his girlfriend's face, he turns around and looks out at the window again, he felt that he was going to cry because of the anger he was feeling. he tried to calm herself down but her anger remained. Rias just looked him,Redmond has never told her he was jealous before, furthermore he has never shouted at Rias since last year
Rias just sighed, she was still annoyed about how Redmond acted but she wanted to end this fight. She walks towards the taller boy and places her hand on his shoulder
"Redmond, I-" again her words were cut./p
Redmond had pulled Rias towards him and aggressively kissed her. Rias tried to pull away but her resistance became weaker and weaker every time she tried and she eventually gave up. Instead of resisting, she wrapped her hand around the Redmond's waist and replied to his kisses
Redmond pulls away and looks at Rias, his eyes were calmer than just a moment ago. he leaned closer and was going to give her another kiss when Rias placed her index finger on Redmond's lips. She smiles at him and kisses him on the forehead
"No one can ever make me feel this way… other than you…" She said as she blushes. "So please… control your jealousy ok?"
Redmond giggled and nods, he always thought it was cute when Rias blushes, but to her surprise she kissed him this time. It's usually him initiating the first move whenever they're together. It gave him a funny feeling in his chest
"I love you Rias…"
"I love you too…and please let's not fight anymore… it takes so much effort to get angry" The girl said jokingly making the older one laugh. Redmond gave Rias another passionate kiss they stayed in that room for another hour before noticing the heir's presence was needed and they had to get back to the ballroom
Rias thought to herself as she smiles while holding his boyfriend's hand,as they walk towards the ballroom,as they walk,Rias greeted his cousin Sairaorg
Redmond's POV
"It's been a while, Rias,Redmond-sama." He shook hands with Rias while smiling
"Yeah, I missed you. It's good to see that you're doing well. There are also people here who haven't met you yet. This person is Sairaorg. He's my cousin on my mother's introduced to her peerage,and all of them bowed at him
"Yo,martial arts boy,it's been a while,So, what are you doing in a passage like this?" I asked
"Ah, we came out here because it's so idiotic in there."
"…Idiotic? Have the other members also arrived then?" I asked
"Agares and Astaroth have already arrived. Zephyrdol came last. Immediately after he arrived, Zephyrdol and Agares started arguing,Redmond-sama"
"Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" The building shook greatly and I heard a huge smashing sound,so that two has started eh ? Worried by it,Rias without hesitation went to the big door from which the noise had come from
"Geez, this is why I advised not meeting before the meeting,stay here Rias I don't want you to get hurt." Sighing, Sairaorg-san followed after me along with his servants.,Beyond the opened big door—was a banquet hall that was all smashed up,The tables, chairs and decorations were all destroyed,seriously ?,this is my hotel you know ?,All the devils were split into two camps who glared at each other at the centre of the room,Weapons had been taken out, and there was an explosive air to the whole situation,One side was made of evil-looking goblin-like devils. The other side seemed to be made of relatively ordinary devils. However, both groups gave off an aura that was full of cold killing intent, to the point of being frightening,this is nothing for me,Within my field of vision, a table still safely remained in a corner of the hall and elegant-looking servant devils could be seen. In the centre of these gentle-looking male devils…was a person drinking tea
"Zephyrdol, can you not help starting a fight at a place like this? Do you want to die? Do you really want to die? Even if I kill you, I won't be blamed by the people on top." The two groups glared at each other. ahhh that agares girl with that shitty zephydor,Agares wore a blue robe and exposed very little a rare woman
" 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!"
To explain it better, the young people gather here and give each other small greetings. However, this is what happens when the young people greet each other. By gathering many hot-blooded people together, problems like this also come out. The old devils of the old families and high-class devils can't help assuming that this is a good thing. I don't want to have anything to do with such a useless thing, but it can't be helped,you even made Redmond-sama angry" Sairaorg said
"After adjusting my neck with a snap, I stepped forward to the two teams who were glaring at each other
"Wait, wait! It's dangerous over there! You shouldn't approach either camp when they're in such a dangerous mood,Redmond-sama !"
"Iet him be Sairaorg" Rias came
"Eh? Y-Yes, but why? Because he's your boyfriend ?"
"He's number 1 in this world"
I came between the two sides who looked like they were about to start brawling. The eyes of the glasses onee-chan and the delinquent turned to me
"Seegvaira, princess of the Agares family, and Zephyrdol, rebel child of the Glaysa-Labolas family. If you go any further than this, I will be your opponent. Listen, I know this is sudden, but this is your last warning. Depending on your next words and actions, I will use my fists without mercy." I glared,A vein started throbbing on the forehead of the delinquent devil at those words, and turned red with anger
"For the cocky heir to—" Doga!
An intense blow resounded! Before the delinquent could finish speaking, he was slammed into the wall of the hall by a blow from Redmond-sama!Gara…/p
The delinquent fell off from the wall. —He seemed to have already lost consciousness and fell face-down on the floor!
"I told you. That was your last warning." In reaction to the actions of me
"You bastard!"
"Damn Amduscias family!" The delinquent's servants nearly rush forward from the momentum of losing their master, pathetic.
"Look after your master. That's the first thing you should do. Even if you turn your swords towards me, you will gain nothing. —The important function will be starting soon, so make sure your master recovers first." I growled
The delinquent's family stopped moving at those words and then ran over to where their master had fallen , I turnedo look at the glasses onee-chan. I can't understand her expression stiffened then
"There's still time. Put your make-up on again. It wouldn't do to attend the function while wearing something so bad."
"—. I-I understand." glasses onee-chan turned back and then left the hall along with her confirming that,I spoke to my own family
"Call the staff. The hall is too messed up, and I won't be able to have tea with Rias like this." and when the room was being cleaned suddenly we were being called to the ballroom again ughhh,I really hate being there...
Timeskip,Takumi's POV/p
"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." An elderly male devil spoke with a solemn voice while clasping his hands together,I was standing at the corner with Ray-sama's peerage except Cassie-san that's standing next to Ray-sama
"They seem to have fought right away, though…" This time a full-moustached male devil spoke out sarcastically. He was referring to the matter from before. They really had fought right away,what a bunch of pests,I chuckled
"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." Sirzechs-sama said this from his seat on the second topmost level,and at the topmost level is Ray-sama
"So in other words, they'll be doing Rating Games with their servant devils here ?,I wish we could do a Rating game...
"Will we also eventually be sent out in the battle against the [Khaos Brigade]?"
"Sairaorg-san suddenly asked that straight out. What a boring thing...,everyone in Ray-sama's family knew that those damn devils won't send us
"Aish,Sai-chan you know those dam old-fashioned devils won't send young brats like you" Ray-sama answered as such and rolls his eyes and it seems that the old devils are quite angry because of Ray-sama's answer but can't do a thing because Ray-sama is basicaly the strongest creature ever exist
"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-san said "I understand" to Sirzechs-sama's words, and seemed to consent to his words. But, his expression seemed dissatisfied.
After that, the talk continued about difficult words from the higher-ups and about the upcoming games from the Maou-sama
"Now then, I apologise 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-sama's words. I understood that there were no lies in the Maou-sama's words as I listened. As expected of the was a candid and interesting person by nature
"To finish things, will you now let us hear your respective future goals?"The first to respond to Sirzechs-sama's request was Sairaorg-san
"My dream is to become Maou." He declared that kind of thing suddenly,well I think he's going to fail that anyway I could see and hear Ray-sama was refraining himself from laughing
[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." He declared even further! He really is amusing,I could see Ray-sama smirking from up there,With no time for me to be surprised, Rias-ojousama spoke next
"My goal for the near future is to live as the next Gremory head, and to win in each Rating Game battle."
Redmond's POV
"Heee~,you don't need to do that tho,sweetheart~,you will always get what you want" I spoke while resting my head on my knuckle
"Don't embarrass me at public mouuu,and I'm going to achive my own dream without your help Ray" she blushed
"Awwwww you're so cute babe,come sit on my lap~" I smirked as I transport her to my lap,she blushed again
"Ray~ not here !" she tried to punch my chest but I pull her hand and kissed her on the lips,then I whispered to her
"you just have to ask whatever you want to me" After that the other young people also stated their dreams, their goals, until the last one remaining at the end was Sona Then, Sona spoke./p
"I wish to build a school for the Rating Games in the Underworld." A school! Heh, so she wants to build a school,But, while I felt admiration for her, the higher-ups scrunched up their eyebrows,they want to die...,insulting my childhood friend like that
"If it's learning about Rating Games, isn't there already one for that?"As if checking, a higher-up asked this to her,she answered 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,as what I expected from my childhood friend
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!]
"The laughter of the higher-ups ruled over the assembly hall
"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." Aish,I really don't want to cut anybody's head today but...
Takumi's POV
"…Even if the current Underworld has changed much from the past, discrimination between the high-class devils, low-class devils, and reincarnated devils still exists. There are also still a lot of people who believe that to be natural as well." Cassandra-san spoke blandly from beside me
"What's with that? But weren't we welcomed normally by Ray-sama's family?"
"They don't really discriminate against humans or low-class devils…But, please remember the House of Phoenix."
At Kiba's words, I remembered Raiser Phoenix in my mind. Certainly, that guy had looked down on me, both because I was low-class and a servant. He may have showed a discriminatory attitude towards me,but...,his brain was just as low as bird,In the midst of all this, Kaichou spoke frankly
"I'm serious."
Serafall-sama 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 worried about 's so lucky to have a family like 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,what a stupid guy...
"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!"
"Be careful how you talk, young reincarnated devil. Sona-dono, your servant hasn't been properly trained."
"One of the higher-up devils said this. What are you saying!? You're much stranger! Why do you say such a thing, even though you told them to say their dreams!?,freaks.
"…I apologise. I'll speak to him later." Kaichou said this while not changing her expression at all. Saji didn't seem to be able to understand her reaction.
"Kaichou! Why!? These people, they mocked your, our dream! Why, do you remain silent!?"
"Saji, be silent. This isn't a place where you can display such an attitude. I simply told them my future goal. That's all."
Kaichou narrowed her eyes and scolded Saji. Saji also seemed to want to say something, but he held his tongue
"you won't be able to do something like that !" the higher ups continued
"shut up,you're disturbing my time with Rias,and you also insulted Sona my dearest friend..." Ray-sama growled and the higher ups shut their mouth immediately but...
"You too brat !,you're too underestimating us" a higher up said but Ray-sama glared to him
"actually I don't want anyone's head to be blown off by me today...,but you really pisses me off..." He shot a black lighting of destruction from his index finger to the foolish oldman earlier but Grayfia-san blocked it with her Ice,then Ray-sama stands up and put Rias-sama on his chair after that he transported away to somewhere
"In that case! 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 Leviathan-sama's sudden suggestion. The Leviathan-sama in question was in a surprisingly pissed off mood.
"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 !,you're lucky that fia-chan was able to stop Ray-bee's lighting !,even though I wanted it to happen" Serafall-sama spoke to the devil higher-ups with watery eyes. The higher-ups in question blinked their eyes at the livid Maou Leviathan-sama, and had trouble reacting. Kaichou—covered her face in seeming embarrassment. Ooh, this really is a situation in which nothing can be said.
"However, I also felt a refreshing feeling from Serafall-sama's words. I think that no one has the right to look down on one's dream. In addition to that, the Underworld has to change,In that case, Kaichou's dream is a good ambition. Shouldn't the higher-ups acknowledge that kind of dream? When you live too long, you really do become inflexible.
There are a lot of parts of the old customs of the old families and noble families that I'm not familiar with.
"Very well. Then, let's play the games, between these young people." Everyone paid attention to Sirzechs-sama's words.
"Rias, Sona, would you not like to fight each other?"
END OF CHAPTER~,I'M SORRY THAT I HAVEN'T UPDATED FOR A LONG TIMEEEEEEEE,RR PLEAASEEEEE
