The door had scarcely closed behind Kaito Evander's back, before Rias erupted into a fit of giggles.
Sona on the other hand, had her hands clasped together and was staring at the door the younger teen just left through a thoughtful frown on her face.
"He certainly has a high opinion of himself," the crimson haired devil managed to get out between her giggles, "I can't believe he asked that." it had taken all of Rias' willpower not to burst out laughing right then and there when he declared his goal in life was to marry and impregnate Sona's sister.
It was just so far out of left field, she hadn't saw such a thing coming at all. A bit of an odd dream to have for sure, she wasn't even sure how a human like him would know of Serafall at all, but objectively, not a bad one to have. For a devil, the greater the ambition and drive to pursue that ambition, the more they would grow.
And there wasn't much higher of an ambition in devil society…than wanting to marry and impregnate the most powerful and sought after woman in the entire species.
"…He's a sly one." Sona commented simply after a moment.
"Because he brought up wanting to marry and put a baby in your sister?" Rias teased, "Specifically to you. Meaning, he might know your sister dotes on you terribly."
"Hardly," Sona rolled her eyes, "I highly doubt he's interested in my sister at all. I believe he brought that up simply to-"
"Throw us off balance," Rias finished for her, "He's the type that has usually kept to himself, him coming right out and admitting wanting to marry and impregnate your sister, is pretty out of character for him."
"Not just that," Sona shook her head, "I believe it was a negotiating tactic. His bottom line that he wouldn't go under after all is rather ludicrous to expect upon just reincarnating."
To be exact, the one thing he wouldn't budge on, no matter what Sona or Rias tried to bribe him with…was him becoming high-class upon being reincarnated.
Meaning, that was what he was really after and everything else was simply a smokescreen to make it look like a lot less of a big deal.
As Sona said, he was a sly one and he definitely wasn't dumb at all. But, his inexperience when it came to that sort of thing, shone through. He wasn't at all trained in negotiating, so despite his intelligence and sly plan, it only went so far.
"Honestly, I'm wondering how much he really knows about how our society works," Rias mused, "After all, if I'm not wrong, beyond making it clear he'll only accept being reincarnated as a devil if we can get him the High-class ranking…"
"He covered his bases, yes I saw it as well," Sona nodded, "He used my sister as the tool. Assuming I could actually promise him my sisters hand in marriage, there is no way anyone would accept a low-class devil marrying the Leviathan. To save face, they'd have to promote him. On top of that is the fact that any member of a Satan's peerage is automatically granted High-Class status."
"Mmm," Rias crossed her arms, "Though him getting into your sisters peerage to gain the High-Class status defeats the purpose of either of us attempting to recruit him. Unless it was only temporary and Serafall traded him back to you."
"…I'm ashamed to admit it did cross my mind for a few moments," Sona grimaced lightly, "But I discarded the idea. I do not want calls of nepotism impacting my sisters reputation."
As expected really, despite how much she acted like she hated her sisters doting when it came to her, Sona loved her older sister fiercely.
"Though, thinking on it a bit now, when he showed off his subspecies Twice Critcal…That may have been factored in as well," Sona hummed cupping her chin in thought, "Not only was he admitting to having killed a Cadre, a being that could contend with some gods-"
"He also pretty much implied he has all that power at his fingertips within his Sacred Gear to use as he pleased, and he was very confident in his ability to defeat the pair of us if it came down to it," Rias finished her thought for her, "Which was probably him not so subtly telling us he's worth it."
As in, even if they didn't have him for their peerages themselves, he was an overall gain for devils as a whole.
"I'd hardly call what he said at the end subtle," Sona snorted, "'If you reincarnated a dragon king or even a god if it was possible, would you really expect them to toil away as some low-class flunky and to not be given the respect they deserve?'" she quoted the last thing he said to them word for word before the discussion ended.
It was definitely arrogant of him to say something like that and not so subtly use it as a reference for himself and their recruitment attempt.
Not that Rias could really blame him if his subtle boasts were true.
"Like I said, he certainly has a high opinion of himself," Rias grinned a bit, before sighing, shoulders slumping, "Looks like I'm out of the running though. My brother already has a full peerage, and is neither single nor female for that matter."
The best she could do offer, would be reincarnating him and listing his achievement of killing Satanael as a reason for promotion. And while it would look very good on his record and speed it up massively, she doubted he'd be getting what he wanted right away.
"I'm hardly in it myself," Sona admitted, sighing in defeat herself, "Asking my sister to marry someone just because I want to recruit them for my peerage is not something I will do. And I will not ask her to reincarnate him for me and then trade him to me."
"Well…that sucks." Rias pouted.
There really wasn't anything they could do here to convince him currently. She wasn't quite ready to give up so easily, but for now, he, Kaito was out of either of their reaches.
The whistle that was on Kaito's lips was drowned out as he left the Occult Research Club building behind.
Just in time.
'Well, that went well.' he mused to himself, making his way back towards the main school building. Time to head to the roof, he had another important conversation to take part in today.
And now, he wouldn't have to worry about being stalked by annoying devils anymore after that little chat.
Sure, even after starting off with the high-ball tactic of insinuating what he wanted was Serafall Leviathan above all else and then 'lowering' it to merely accepting being High-Class ended up with the offer being rejected, since neither Rias or Sona could promise him what he wanted.
But, you win some you lose some. And with the devils not bothering him anymore, it was still a minor win for him rather than a loss. Actually, more than minor considering He'd doubled his savings once more with his bullshit lies.
Even if becoming High-Class would be stellar. A fancy noble class, the right to his own peerage, practically infinite life span, demonic power based on desire that was tailor made for evolving Sacred Gears and would make his learning magic so, so much easier…
'I just need to figure out how to work Cleria Belial's evil piece set I guess.' Kaito shrugged to himself.
Which was easier said than done mind you, he'd had them for two weeks now and hadn't learned jack about them.
Well, nothing worth doing was ever easy for him he supposed.
Kaito put those thoughts out of mind a few moments later as he arrived at his destination, the cool kid spot on the roof.
'I really need to learn how to use my wings.' he decided as he leaned against the railing. If he did, he could have just flew up here and saved a few minutes of walking.
Just more on his plate he supposed. Alongside training his body, learning how to use his touki better, learning how to sense magic power, learning how to wield a sword, learning how to use the evil pieces…
God damn did he have a full plate.
"Just means more training." he grinned lightly, turning around and leaning over the railing overlooking the school grounds below.
Already people were piling out to mill about outside the building. One of the first out he noted, being Hyoudou who was practically skipping towards the mansion his master used as a base…hand in hand with an incredibly cute, long blonde haired girl.
"Twilight Healing, huh?" he eyed the girl thoughtfully. Now, that would be an amazing boon to have on hand for training.
A point in Gremory's favour…if she could actually deliver on getting him High-Class.
Alas, it was not to be.
Moments later, another familiar brunette exited the building entrance below, alongside a pink haired girl. Murayama and her best friend…Katase if he remembered right.
They were headed towards the kendo club building.
He was about to let his eyes trail up towards the sky when a flash of cyan blue caught his eyes.
"Hmm?" Kaito frowned as another girl exited behind Murayama and her friend, completely alone.
His eyes itched as he looked at her. And he felt the urge to look away from her. Annoying, but whatever.
…If he wasn't wrong, her name was…Nonaka…Yuki? And she was in Gremory and Sitri's year, a third year.
He'd completely forgot about her until now. Which was weird, considering how attractive she was. Exotic cyan blue hair, impassive amber yellow eyes. She wasn't quite as busty as the likes of Gremory, but she was still rather voluptuous up top.
But, she was the exact opposite of Yanagi in one regard. Like Yanagi, she was rather short, but where Yanagi had huge breasts, Nonaka had a huge ass that her short maroon school skirt hung over like a shelf.
…Weird, he was sure he knew her from somewhere else. And again, he had no idea why she'd completely slipped his mind. If he didn't notice her there, she'd have been completely blank in his memory.
The cyan haired girl down below suddenly paused and tilted her head to look up. Impassive yellow eyes met his own blue.
And she stared at him, a frown on her face.
Kaito raised an eyebrow and stared back at her.
And for a good five seconds, they just stared at each other. But, the longer it went on, the more of an itch seemed to tingle behind his eyes.
It was fucking annoying.
He gave the girl a wave and she blinked, before copying him and waving back at him looking confused.
Something was…off about that girl.
But before he could even think about doing anything about it, the door to the roof suddenly swung open and slammed into the wall from the force it was opened with.
His head whipped around on instinct to find Yanagi with her leg oustretched, looking like she kicked the door open and a wide grin on her face.
"…I can see up your skirt y'know." Kaito deadpanned. It was a pretty nice view actually, some nice frilly powder blue panties.
"And now you are blessed." Yanagi didn't miss a beat making him roll his eyes as she lowered her leg.
…Weird though. The itch behind his eyes was suddenly gone.
Yanagi practically skipped over to him, and he grimaced as he was reminded of Hyoudou.
He skipped just like her.
"So, what's up sweet cheeks?" Yanagi grinned impishly at him, "Well, beyond the thing in your pants from the sweet ol' view I gave ya."
…This girl, one of these days man, he swore.
He'd call her bluff and give her a right shock.
But that would have to wait for now, "There's something I need to talk to you about."
"Ah…" Yanagi's teasing impish demeanour faded instantly, turning serious, "I think I've got a good idea of what you want to talk about."
Kaito's eyes widened…..she couldn't already know about him and everything right? And just hidden it a-
"I'm a J-cup!" she declared grandly, spreading her arms widely and hopping in spot making her huge breasts bounce, "My three sizes are 99-" her words turned into a choked splutter as his palm grasped her entire face and smothered her.
"…Why are you like this?" Kaito groaned aloud, while inwardly gaping in shock, 'What the hell, a J-cup? I knew she had massive tits but what the fuck and those were some stupid huge numbers she was about to list off.'
Honestly, she was really lucky at this point that those three perverted losers knew better than to get near her unless they were prepared to wash their necks beforehand.
"Mpghghg!" was Yanagi's muffled reply over his palm. And then he felt something wet trailing up and down his palm.
He jerked his palm back and gave her a deadpan stare, "Did you seriously just lick my palm, what are you, eight?"
"Don't act like you didn't enjoy it," Yanagi wiggled her tongue at him teasingly, "You're a total closet perv. I know deep down, being compressed like a hunk of coal by those stupidly huge muscles of yours is a youthful beastial lust just waiting to break free and go on a rampage."
"…You know, the more I spend time with you, the more I'm coming to realise you're not that much better than those three perverted idiots." his deadpan stare increased in power.
Yanagi merely shrugged, "The difference is, they're losers that can't contain their virgin fantasies and gape at every girl that passes by, while I'm me," she replied grinning toothily at him, "My much more cultured appreciation is focused exclusively on you alone and not to mention I have a huge rack." she proudly boasted, crossing her arms under her breasts and pushing said huge rack up and making them stand out even more.
Kaito just stared at her. There was a lot of funky logic about this world he didn't understand. Most of it was supernatural nonsense.
…Yanagi was another thing entirely.
"You're playing with fire y'know," he replied, unable to stop his eyes from flickering to her voluptuous chest, "Besides, having huge tits doesn't mean your exempt from being called out like them for being a pervert."
"No, but the clear bias you have for me does, don't worry though I won't tell anybody you pick favourites," she laughed before stepping before, just a step away from pressing against him and looked up at him, deep blue eyes peeking through her bangs, "Besides, what if I like getting burnt a little baby cakes?"
If nothing else, this girl definitely knew how to push his buttons. He swallowed heavily, what was he doing up here again….?
"Honestly though, it's only fair I give you some fan service though," Yanagi continued with a shrug, "I mean, did you know there's a girl in the year above us that can apparently tell a guys penis size just by looking at them, not even seeing them naked?
"…Wait, what?" Kaito blinked, completely taken by surprise.
She was really good at throwing him off of his game that was for sure.
"Aika-chan's a total weirdo, but a fun girl, she had lots of advice for me in regards to you," Yanagi continued on, "I actually met her cuz I saw her staring at you and drooling a few weeks ago."
She was talking about the glasses girl that became friends with Asia, wasn't she? He remembered her a bit yeah.
"She was really impressed by the way," the grey haired girls impish grin widened to shit eating proportions, "I am too actually if what she says is true. Heck, according to her if you were in her class and got changed in the same locker room as those three losers, they'd probably curl into a ball on the floor and weep in envy."
It wasn't hard to understand what she was talking about, "Should I be weirded out or impressed you know how big my dick is?" his deadpan returned with a vengeance, "Actually, how would you even know how big it is, it's not like I make a habit of getting turned on here at school."
Also, this was one weird ass conversation to be having with a girl. Especially one who was more or less his best friend and one he was quite possibly going to be pursuing romantically if things went well.
"Ah that's easy, I let you see up my skirt yesterday remember? I specifically wore my sexy pink thong just for that," Yanagai replied matter-o-factly, "I had Aika not far away."
"I knew it that was planned!" His eyes widened in realisation. He had no idea Aika was around watching him as well, but he knew her flashing him had been deliberate, "How the hell did you know that gust of wind was gonna happen though?"
"Hmph, like I said I'm the goddess of gravity, feel free to worship me mortal." Yanagi laughed proudly.
The funny thing was, there probably was a goddess out there who had power over gravity.
Those words were enough to make him remember what he actually called her up here for. And once he got it off of his chest, he wouldn't need to hold back with her anymore.
"Sure, sure," Kaito rolled his eyes, "That does remind me though, why I wanted to talk to you up here."
Her grin did not lessen at all, "You mean it's not just because you reached a boiling point with the fanservice I gave you yesterday and want to bend me over the railing and give me a railing?"
This girl really had no shame at all.
"I think that's more what you want at this point," he deftly evaded, for the moment. Though, it was definitely a very, very enticing image to have, just one he wouldn't focus on…for this moment, "No, but we'll come back to that. I'm just gonna come out and say it, rip it off like a band-aid. Because if I ever want to do any of that with you, you deserve to know the truth."
He half expected her to make another joke, but surprisingly, she stayed silent and just continued to peer up at him through her bangs.
"The supernatural is real," he dropped the bomb there and then, not beating around the bush, "Gods, demons, dragons, magic. The works, they're all real."
Silence.
For a few monents they just stared into each others eyes. Kaito was expecting her to laugh at him, maybe call him crazy, possibly even be a little worried he'd over-stressed himself and was a bit loopy.
Instead, she just stared at him those few precious moments that seemed to last a life time.
"…Huh…" she uttered, before nodding once, "I know." she admitted.
Wait…what?
"You…know?" he blinked, eyebrows raising in surprise, "…How?"
"I got attacked by a monster when I was a kid, around eight years old. It's a bit of a blur to be honest, I almost died,"
Yanagi admitted, "Course, then I got my super power randomly, my eyes started glowing and it got squashed like a pancake. I thought I was dreaming for the longest time until my powers just activated out of the blue a few times."
"Huh…" Kaito wasn't really sure what to say to that. He hadn't been expected that all. But he was more surprised about the fact he wasn't surprised Yanagi was somehow connected to the supernatural.
Because that was just how his luck rolled apparently.
"The question is, how do you know about it?" Yanagi turned the question right back around on him.
"Because I kind of have powers to?" Kaito replied, he had already decided to be full on truthful with her, "To be exact, I have something called a Sacred Gear, two of them actually. That are basically gifts from the God from the bible to humans. And basically being one of the few ways humans actually get power in this world."
"Eh, God is real?!" Yanagi's eyes actually widened in shock.
"He…was," Kaito winced, "He's kind of dead now."
"…Ah…well," Yanagi winced, "That….that sucks."
"….Yeah…." Kaito agreed, before coughing, "What about you?" he asked, changing the subject
"I already told you didn't I?" Yanagi gave him a light smirk,, "I'm the goddess of gravity." she said and her eyes shimmered, going from a deep dark blue to a glowing gold.
And suddenly Kaito felt pressure weighing down on his shoulders. Though it really wasn't all that much of a bother.
"Are your powers your stupid muscles or something?" she spouted up at him, golden eyes shining almost hypnotically, "I just increased gravity three times over atop your body and you didn't even budge!"
"Not quite," Kaito stared at her eyes as he realised something, "That's Gravity Jail." he noted.
His other self had saw it in use before. If he wasn't wrong, some guy in Sairaorg Bael's peerage had it as well.
"What?" Yanagi blinked at his words.
"Your power, it's called Gravity Jail," he explained, "It's a Sacred Gear, that if I remember right let's you manipulate gravity within your eyesight."
"Huh, that's right, so that's how I got this power then," Yanagi mused, "What about you though, you said you have one, actually two yourself right, what are they?"
"They're both the same power, called Twice Critical," he replied, "Basically they double all my abilities like speed, strength even magic power."
Yanagi stared at him for a second, before snorting and erupting into laughter, "So basically you can increase your abilities four times over with two of them. What a lame super power compared to mine!"
The insult washed over him like tap water over a boulder, parting harmlessly. It didn't annoy him at all.
His eyebrow did not twitch.
"Ack!" Yanagi sputtered as he gripped her by the head with one hand and lifted her up easily.
"Power is only as good as the person using it," he cheerfully informed her, "Besides, Twice Critical is made from the flesh of a dragon that could chew up gods and spit them out for fun, power that I used to make myself part dragon. Your power is only useful for helping me train."
That was the first thing that came to mind. If he could train under heightened gravity Drag-So-Ball style, he could really push himself to even greater limits!
"Yeah, well it's also good for this!" Yanagi looked down.
His pants dropped to his ankles.
His eyes widened in shock and her let her go on reflex to reach down to pick them up while she landed on her feet.
"Black huh, nice. Glad you don't wear tighty whitey's." Yanagi used leer.
It was not very effective. Kaito pulled his pants up and gave her a bland look, "This Aika chick is a really bad influence on you."
She was always a little teasing imp of a girl. But it had only been in the last few weeks she'd turned into a perverted little teasing imp.
Yanagi just shrugged, eyes returning to their blue colour, "Hey, if you had just pulled your finger out buddy I wouldn't have been forced to do this," she replied, "Besides, Aika didn't influence me at all beyond encouraging me to do as I pleased like this."
"So what you're saying is, you've always been a little pervert huh?" he snorted.
"Only for you sweet cheeks." Yanagi shot back, a golden glow emanating from behind her bangs.
He felt an impact reminiscent of a hand smacking against his ass.
Alright, enough of this.
"That right?" Kaito raised an eyebrow, "Then I'll get right to the point. I've taken care of my money issues. The only other issue I needed to take care of before you, was letting you know about the supernatural and what you would be involved with if we actually did start going out." as he said that, he walked towards her, forcing her to back up as he bumped into her, until her back was pressed against the wall beside the door leading back into the school.
There was a shimmer around his right and a familiar black and gold gauntlet appeared, which he then slammed palm first into the wall above Yanagi's head, trapping her between the wall and his body.
"But that isn't an issue for you now, is it?" he stopped holding back and let go, a smirk appearing on his face and aimed down at her.
"…Kabedon…nice," Yanagi actually shivered a bit, grinning happily up at him, "Took you long enough." she said.
Despite how confident she looked though, there was no hiding the dust of red on her cheeks.
"It did, didn't it?" he admitted.
Before leaning down and capturing her lips with his own. Her hands came up to fist in his blazer and unlike Irina, she knew exactly what she wanted.
Her tongue forced its way into his mouth the second he parted his lips to let his own it.
A duel of tongues ensued a split moment later and he reached down with his other hand to wrap it around her waist.
Only for Yanagi to let go of his blazer to grab his hand.
And move it down to her ass.
At her own urging, he let go of the wall to reach down with his right hand, dismissing his Twice Critical as he did.
And he reached under her short maroon school skirt to cup her soft, bouncy ass cheeks.
And lifted her into the air with his grip on her backside. He'd wanted to do this to her for so long. And now he didn't need to hold back. She was perfect for lifting like this.
And she wasted no time in wrapping her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck, pressing her face deeper against his and deepening the kiss.
Despite her enthusiasm, it was Yanagi who's tongue submitted to his own, the short stack mewling into his mouth.
When he finally pulled back from her literally a few minutes later, he had to pause because she caught his bottom lip with her teeth and nibbled on it with a grin.
Her face was flushed red and she was panting deeply, her huge breasts rising up and down noticeably on her chest, "I'm so gonna rock your world." Yanagi vowed, even as he held the tiny yet voluptuous girl aloft easily.
"Isn't that my line?" he couldn't help but snort and ask, "And awesome as this is, bit fast don't you think?"
"This has been building up for months," Yanagi scoffed, wiggled her ass into his hands, "And I ain't Hana-chan. In fact, my sister has been a great visual aid for not what to do when getting a boyfriend."
Ouch, he almost felt sorry for Hana. At the same time, he couldn't help but thank her for her sacrifice.
And pity her boyfriend. Poor guy.
"Well…at least your attitude about it matches your hair style." he joked.
She sniggered, "It does look like I'm a genderbent hentai protagonist doesn't it?" she joked, "The big difference though is I want you to put an ahegao on my face, not the other way around. I'll even make sure to hold up the peace signs if you want."
There was no stopping the blood rushing south. Or the tent that began to swell out with the 'True Longinus'.
Emphasis on the long.
"Oh…!" And Yanagai felt it right away, "Aika's really good for her word I see. Is that a baseball bat in your pants or are you just happy to see me?"
"…You're something else…" Kaito couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head.
"I'm your girlfriend actually," she corrected, "And I'll happily cement that as fact. We can head to your apartment after classes, I'll tell my mom I'm making you dinner and you can see about replacing my pupils with love hearts."
….That sounded amazing.
He wanted to agree to it right here and now.
There was only one problem with that.
Irina.
"Yeah….about that, there's still one other thing I need to talk to you about." he admitted with a wince.
And thus chapoter tirty tirteeyo thirteen droppy drops.
Usually I'd say some witty stuff here, cuz I'm y'know, so wittily amazing and all and give some brief highlights. But, can't be bothered tonight. So I'll round this up with, we're up to chapter 19 for this on the Pa-atreon if you wanna read ahead.
Anyway, shameless Pa-atreon plug. I've got one, go by the same username on there, easy to find and all that jazz. Support me if you want, it'd be swell, but don't feel pressured lads and ladies, I'll be uploading my stuff outside it regardless and not keeping it all behind a paywall or anything like that.
