Why the Heck was I Reincarnated in DxD without a Cheat Power!? (High School DxD SI Chapter 2)
"What the hell, Atsuko!? Why are you stealing my dream of getting a harem!" Issei protested in indignation.
"I'm not stealing! I'm giving myself a chance to get one! A reverse harem of just guys is boring. I need some cute, or sexy girls or both, and being the one to dick them down is hot. So that's why." Atsuko shot back.
As the two siblings began arguing Rias rubbing her forehead temple, and poked Akeno with her foot to stop laughing and get up. Rias was worried that she would start get a headache.
"Okay enough!" Rias commanding tone shut everyone up. She took control of the situation, got everyone seated, and hoped to restart discussion on a more sane note.
Rias recentered herself, took a deep breath, and smiled once more to the Hyoudou siblings.
"Now then, Issei, why don't you state your wish, so we can tell you both the cost of each wish?"
"Right." Issei nodded.
He looked toward his sister, and communication at high speeds that could only come from two people familiar with each other passed between then.
"This is it, Issei. Your chance. Don't fuck this up. Do. Not. Fuck. This. Up."
"I won't!"
The two nodded then looked back to the devils. Rias mentally admitted to herself that this was mildly amusing, while Akeno just gave a lady-like chuckle.
"I want to see both of your boobs!" Issei declared with determination.
"You dumbass!"
SMACK!
Atsuko got one of the many paper fans that she hid around the house, and smack Issei across the back of his head.
"Ow! Atsuko, what the hell? I thought we're cool about me pursuing my dream!" Issei cried out which rubbing the back of his head.
"Your dream is to see two pairs of tits? That's what the internet if for, idiot!" Atsuko countered back.
"People who call others idiots are the actual idiots!"
"Well I am an idiot and know that! Do you!?"
"Yes! I... Which one do I know is an idiot?" Issei pointed between himself and Atsuko, the winds in his sail taken out by the confusing grammar.
"Fufufu," Akeno laugh cut through the argument, making the siblings look toward her. "Issei, you can wish for whatever you want, you don't need to worry limits. At least until the price comes up, then we'll see where we go from there."
"Right, right, sorry. I just got distracted by a set of awesome boobs." Issei bowed his head a bit.
"You need to rise above the tits, Issei-"
"Blashphamy! Say that again and I'll disown you from the Hyoudou Household!" Issei dramatically pointed at Atsuko.
"-And aim for the harem you always longed for. Bitch! You can't disown me, I have seniority! I can disown you!" The heartfelt advice got turned into a threat.
"For the last time, we're the same age. You're not older than me! Thus as the man of the house, in the absence of our parents, I set the rules." Issei defended his point.
"No, I have proof!" Atsuko dramatically stood up.
Issei's eyes widened in horror. "No, NO! It can't be. I destroyed them all! I made sure of it." Issei jumped and stood up, leaning back from his terrifying sister.
"Destroyed what?" Rias asked, while all her instincts were telling her to avoid this topic, and in fact run away from his crazy house and forget the contract.
"Proof that I am the Older Sister!" Atsuko took out a photo from between her breasts under her clothes, and shoved it in Rias's face. "Father took this photo of our Mother's Glorious Puss-Puss during our moment of birth. Clearly you can see my head is above that of Issei, thus giving me the lead into this world by half a second!"
"MY EYES!" Rias covered her face, jumped so far back as to slam her head into the wall, breaking her head through it and knock herself out.
"Rias-senpai!" Issei was by Rias's side in moments, having also sneaky snatched photo, crumbled and throw it into the trash can. "Akeno-senpai, do you have any magic that can destroy that thing, or just a lighter?" Issei asked as he took Rias out of the wall, and slowly set her down on the ground, while holding her head.
"Hahahaha, y-yes, I have something." Akeno said through tears, while holding her side. She pointed one finger at the trashcan.
"NO!" Atsuko tried to jump and save the photo, but a small and focused burst of flame grew from within the trashcan, burning everything inside, and extinguished itself leaving nothing but ash in the trashcan. "Mother's Glorious Puss-Puss..." Atsuko said in a low solemn voice while pouting.
Rias started to wake up. "Huh, Issei?" her eyes blinked a few times, as she tried to recall the last few moments. "What happened? I came here with Akeno for a double contract and then..." She frowned her cute little eyebrows in thought.
"Aaah," in a moment of clarity and wisdom, Issei knew not to tell her what happened. "It seems like you were so mentally tired that you doozed off for a bit. You should take care of yourself, Senpai."
"Aaah," Rias had remembered now, but chose Issei's version of the events. "Yes, thank you, Issei. I'm sorry for being a bother."
"N-Not at all, I don't mind looking after you, whenever you need." Issei said sincerely, not really thinking about this words.
Rias found herself actual blushing at the heartfelt words.
"So, that is one wish for a futa dick and one wish for a harem, correct?" Akeno said nonchalantly, holding a devil device for measuring wishes and their cost.
"Ahem, yes." Rias fake coughed, and stood up, everyone returning to their seating arrangement again, now finally discussing the important reason they were all here for. Issei was blushing from holding Rias so close previously. Atsuko was pouting at the loss of one of her Older Sister Proof photos. Rias was glaring at bit at Atsuko and Akeno was trying not to laugh again.
"For Atsuko's wish...it would cost you half your life." Rias couldn't help but take some pleasure in delivering the news to the girl who just traumatized her.
"Like if I was gonna live until 80, now I would live until 40?" Atsuko asked, actually taking the whole thing seriously.
"Wait, you can't seriously be thinking of accepting that?" Issei said alarmed.
"My life, my choice. Besides, tell me you wouldn't do the same if you had the chance be married to a dozen beauties, bang them and knock them all up, but only get to live for 10 years?" Atsuko challenged, to which Issei raise a finger about to object, before grimacing and looking to the side, not having a counterargument.
"It says you would physically age to the age you would have at half your life." Akeno explained with a smile.
"Hmm..." Atsuko stroked her chin. "Would I look hot as a MILF? No, better question is, where can I get the job certifications so I can bang boys and girls at Kuoh Academy, and secretly build my harem in the background?"
"Ah, as expected from Nee-san. The moment you become a Christmas Cake, you're already planning to be a predator." Issei nodded to himself, almost in awe at his sisters ability to adjust her plans on the fly.
"Like you wouldn't do any different!?" Atsuko protested.
"I, ah, well..." Issei laughed and scratched the back of his head, only to see the deadpan look Rias was giving him. "Of course I wouldn't! ...If they try to seduce me however, I can't do anything. I'm just a weak willed man." Issei gave a hapless shrug.
"Very plausibly deniable." Atsuko nodded in support of her brother.
Rias sighed. "That's all assuming that Sona would let you get a job at Kuoh, even if you somehow get a teaching degree, while knowing you're doing it to have sex with the students." Rias pointed out.
"...The Student Council President is a Devil." Atsuko nodded at the thought. "Thinking about it, I actually shouldn't be surprised."
"How so?" Rias raised an eyebrow.
"No one that loves bureaucracy that much could possibly be human." Atsuko pointed out.
Rias opened her mouth to defend her childhood friend against that devil stereotype... And found that she couldn't. "Very well." She nodded.
"So, you're actually okay with that price?" Asked Akeno putting things back on topic. "You're not going to get a free teaching degree, or anything else to work around suddenly being a middle-aged woman." Akeno pointed out.
"Actually, wouldn't your parent worry about you suddenly disappearing, since you know, you wouldn't be able to stay around while looking like a different person?" Rias pointed out.
"Nah, I would just explain to them what happened, and they would accept it. Their only worry would be that their daughter is now a middle-aged woman with no job and hasn't settled down with a husband yet." Atusko said casually.
"Yeah, I can see that being their reaction. They're pretty chill about a lot of stuff." Issei nodded as well.
"...Huh." Rias had nothing to say to that.
"Are there any other methods I can pay, or other ways my wish can be fulfilled?" The Hyoudou only daughter asked.
"Well, it is possible to fulfill your wish by using Transformation Magic." Akeno said. "I would have to study the spell for it, then get back and use it on you."
"How long would that take?"
"About a month."
"Huh..." Atsuko gave it some thought and quickly nodded. "And the price?"
"Well, it's not half our life." Akeno started out.
"Neat." Atsuko smiled.
"It would be 6,913,324 Yen." Akeno delivered with a customer service smile.
""WHAT THE HELL!?"" Both Hyoudou Siblings exclaimed.
"What kind of Devils would take cash?" Issei asked in disbelief.
"No, no, that actually makes sense. Devils invented money, and Money is a root of all Evil, so of course Devils use it to collect on human misery." Atusko brilliantly deduced.
"No, no, no," Rias and Akeno waved their hands in a 'no sign'. "We did not invent money, that's just a false myth." Rias explained.
"Spoken like a true Devil." Atsuko nodded in awe, at the devils cleverness, and Issei mirror his sister in agreement.
Akeno covered his mouth to hide her laughter, while Rias just sighed. Changing their minds would be a lost cause.
"So the half a life thing and the money are no go." Issei said in a surprisingly firm tone. "I'm not letting you die young Atsuko," Issei's soft tone, had Atsuko smiling at the care in his voice. "And the money is no go, as there's no way two high school students would have that much."
Rias found herself smiling at the siblings interaction. She noticed though, that Atsuko had a thoughtful look on her face, before she nodded in agreement with her brother.
...Surely she doesn't actually have that amount of money lying somewhere.
"Well," Rias sat up straight, letting her body's allure, as well as confident body language and voice be on full display. She decided this was a good segue as any into her recuirtment speech. "There is another way," she paused to hook her audience in. "It might even work as the method and price for granting Issei's wish too. Letting you both get your wish for one price so to speak." Rias smiled charmingly.
"And that is...?" Issei spoke, him and his sister leaning forward, synconized in their interest.
They're adorable in their own way. Rias thought. ...Mostly Issei though. I take back ever thinking Atsuko was cute.
"Becoming part of my Peerage." Rias smiled.
She explained the Evil Chess Pieces system, and the reason for it's existence, along with it's uses. Rias explained the differences between a Devil and a Human, along with the advantages of the former and how it could help both Hyoudous reach their dreams.
From the look on their faces, Rias was sure they were both hooked.
"Wow, that deal sounds a bit way too convenient." Atsuko said startling Rias, and even Akeno was surprised at the human girl's response.
"Eh?" Issei looked toward his sister.
"I mean 'become a Devil and all your dreams come true due to the specific way being a Devil can grant your goals' is definitely on the side of too good to be true." The look Atsuko gave Rias made the Devil Princess start to reassess the girl in her mind. Unlike Issei she definitely wasn't just driven by instinct like Rias initially thought from this meeting.
"There's probably a downside, like starting out as a Devil, you would be at the bottom of the totem pole, and need to power level your way up, to be High Class so you can get your harem. For me I would probably have to spend a long amount of time studying magic to get my futa dick."
"Awww." Issei looked down like a sad puppy.
The girl had seen right through the Gremory Devil, and now Rias was starting to sweat a bit that convincing the duo would be much harder.
"The upside is that you'll likely reach Shounen Protagonist levels of power, and have a harem of hot Battle Babes. Same for me, but I would be a Mysterious Seductive Witch and all." Atsuko grinned.
Then the girl threw Rias into another loop.
"So screw it, let's do this. TAKE ME, SEXY-SENPAI!" Atsuko jump forward with her arms wide open, at the startled Rias.
ZAAAP!
"...Thank you, Akeno." Rias said leaning back while blinking a few time, still in a surprised state at Atsuko's sudden lunge.
"No problem, Buchou." Akeno smiled, however this time her smile had a more sadistic edge to it, as she looked at Atsuko in interest.
The electrified form of Atsuko twitched on the floor.
"Atsuko, are you okay?" Issei asked in alarm.
"Y...Y-yeah, yeah." Atsuko slowly stood up. "I'm alright, I'm alright. Everything is good."
Atsuko stood up facing the calmly smiling Akeno. The Hyoudou girl stood relaxed and mollified before the devil.
Atsuko's arms shot up and grabbed Akeno's boobs.
"Ah..." Akeno let out a breath out of surprise than anything else.
"!"
"!"
Both Rias and Issei were surprised by the girl's action. Not that Atsuko wouldn't want to grab Akeno's breasts, but that she would do it, right after being zapped.
"Honk, honk!" Squeeze, squeeze.
ZAAAP!
"Atsuko, no! Don't die!" Issei went to her side, cradling the twitching, now smoking form of his sister. "At least tell me how they felt like first."
"Levia...Land." Atsuko said.
"You mean the giant mochi we felt there?" Issei asked with wide eyes.
"S-softer... Boing boing..." Atsuko fell unconscious with a peaceful smile.
"Atsuko, my dear sister..." Issei let out a single tear. "Your sacrifice will not be forgotten."
Rias facepalmed. Akeno giggled.
After a moment of silence, with Issei placing his sister on the bed.
"So, wanna be turned into Devil to get started on that harem?" Rias threw out any type of subtlety out of the window. It was wasted on the Hyoudous.
"Do I!?" Issei looked back with a giant smile.
=====
A few moments later, Atsuko woke up with a small headache, and an awesome feeling in her hands from her last memory.
"Hehe, boing, boing." She giggled the feeling still fresh in her mind.
"Atsuko, check it out." Issei called out.
Atsuko sat up on the bed and placed her legs on the floor. She looked up to see her brother standing before her, grinning with leather wings coming out of his back. Devil wings.
"Sweet! You look totally dashing, bro." Atsuko gave her brother a thumbs up, which he return. "Now my turn!" Atsuko jumped up, smiling at Rias in excitement.
Rias however was looking at Atsuko with an apologetic smile.
"Ah, sorry Atsuko, but there aren't any Pawns left." Rias looked mildly regretful about that. Most of her wanted petty vengeance on the girl, by annoying her and denying her wish. Just for a little while though.
"Wait, what?"
"Well..." Akeno proceeded to explain how Rias had measure both siblings potential, and whole Issei was worth 8 Pawns, causing Rias to proceed and turn him right away, it turned out Atsuko was only worth one and a half Pawns.
"So you mean..." Atsuko slowly lost her grin, as a look of shock came to her.
"I can't turn you, Atsuko. Sorry." Not too sorry though. Rias mischievously thought. "The smallest value Piece I have now are a Bishop or Knight worth 3 Pawns. So, um...Teehee, guess it's just bad luck." Rias playfully shrugged.
Atsuko was quiet for a moment. Tension seemed to rise in the room.
Finally she turned to Issei with her arm extended out, hand open.
"Givu." She said childishly.
"'Givu'? Give what?" Issei asked in confusion.
"Givu, givu!" Atsuko insisted.
"Atsuko, they're in my Soul now. I'm not gonna give you a piece of my soul. Two Pieces actually." Issei tried to reason, which just sounded like bragging to Atsuko and pissed her off even more.
"Give me a part of your soul, you greedy stingy bastard!" Atsuko lunged at Issei.
"No!"
"Gimme!"
"No!"
