[20] Devil GirliesChapter 20: Devil Girlies
—
The schoolyard was a very delightful area. It had a garden of flowers, with artificial bushes all over the place, many artificial dolphin fountains and the entire yard was filled with healthy grass.
Rias Gremory, wearing her bodycon school dress, except the vest this ti, walked beside as we enjoyed the greenery of nature. She looked more attractive than nature, however, with all those curves.
I hadn't bothered hiding my aura, so Rias was sure to know by now that I was not a normal human. Yet, the chat we had was very normal.
"The two episodes were pretty nice," she said while walking beside . "It reminds of the first ti we t, and when I saw your acting for the first ti. How ti flies, right?"
She paused for a mont, leaning down a bit to pluck a rose. As she did, she spoke, not turning to .
"Do you rember…" There was a hint of anxiousness in her voice, scared that I didn’t rember. She turned to , the rose rolling between her fingers. "That day… when we t?"
"KitKat girl."
I said with a finger pointing at her, and to my surprise a massive smile blood on her face. She was too happy for such a small thing.
"Yes, so you do rember." She gently walked over to and tucked the rose in my hair. "I like your hair."
She stood too close to , her breasts just centiters away from touching my chest, as she looked up at my eyes.
"How do you like this school so far? This school had another na before, but a family acquaintance bought it a couple of years back, and nad it after the town we are in." We were in Kuoh Town. "That acquaintance isn't here anymore, so I and my friend, Sona the Student Council President, basically run the school. So if you have any problem related to the school, you can ask anyti."
I couldn't help but find this funny, I didn't laugh though, I just smiled. "You sound like those delinquent senior guys who try to hit on freshman girls, you know that? I can take care of myself, no need to worry about that."
Rias returned the smile and stepped back to walk again. "Well, the area is dangerous. Not just the school. The entire Kuoh Town is our territory. I didn't just an human stifles when I said you can ask for my help; I was talking about the supernatural side of things as well. Independent Mages can get in trouble easily, and it's not good for them if they're against a big group."
So she assud I'm an Independent Mage? Fair enough, it made sense.
"I don't mind helping you out if you get in such trouble." She paused, turning back to . "Just yesterday, a Fallen Angel ca to hunt a human. He was just a normal human, with no affiliation with any groups, he didn't even know magic existed."
I realized she was talking about Issei, this was the situation that unfolded on his date yesterday.
She added, "Just because he had Sacred Gear, he was attacked. Luckily, our Student President, Sona Shitori, took care of it. That boy is alive, and she kindly took him in."
Huh? That made frown. Sona? Does that an Issei is in her peerage now? But- ah, the butterfly flapped its wings. What an interesting change though.
"I really wanted him in my group since he has a strong power, but it was Sona's turn to have soone." Rias sighed a little. "I don't mind it though. I have… soone else in mind, so I am fine with letting this go."
She didn't say it outright, but was she talking about ? How sad. I don't plan to join any of the three main factions, I am making my own. Joining her Peerage was not a choice.
Then, she paused on her feet. She turned to look at , her gaze a little complicated. "Are you and that m-Cho girl dating?"
That was a sudden turn of topic. She must have been dying to ask that if she suddenly changed the topic for it.
I thought about it for a mont. When Ai was out of my room last night, I finally got to peek into the group chat again. Since I wasn't here, m-Cho had to handle the pings herself. The explanation she gave was cute, she took all the bla for herself.
[m-Cho: Co on, guys. Leave Aqua be, he must be stressed. I am feeling guilty about it. I was just flirting with him, and the situation turned out that way when we were joking about how kissing felt. He said he never kissed anybody, and I flirted with him about it. At one point, I told him to try it on . We aren't dating, and it's not Aqua who's at fault, so don't pressure him. I will apologize to him in our next eting.]
She was adorable. I should make it up to her in the future.
I returned my attention to Rias and shook my head. "Nope. It was just a mistake in the heat of the mont, we aren't dating."
"I see." She smiled. "It'd break many hearts if you two started dating."
The wind gently blew over us, and petals of cherry blossoms flew around us. Our eyes stared back at one another as I smiled.
"I might get the wrong idea if you talk like that, Senpai," I said. "We should head to our classes now, people will ask questions if they see the popular Rias Gremory out with a boy."
"The sa applies to you too, so I suppose you're right." She said, walking the opposite way now. "You know, I was expecting you to ask for my number by now. I didn't hear the conversation you had with m-Cho in the first episode, but you had her number in no ti."
"That's a show, this is real life. I am a shy person, in reality. My bad." I walked to her side with my phone in my hand.
"Yet you already have your phone out?"
"Instincts."
"Right."
She took my phone, our hands brushed as she smiled. She typed her number and then sent a text to her from , it was a kissing emoji she sent. I heard her phone ring, but I was unsure where it was.
"There you go." We were right outside the school building now. "See you later, my old friend and kohai."
"You too, my KitKat-loving devil princess," I said, and although she smiled at first, shock soon perpetuated her face, but I was gone before she could ask anything.
I don't know, this Rias was much more likable than the one I rembered in the ani. Perhaps it was because we t as kids, or maybe it was sothing else.
I kind of like her.

Back in my class, I wasn't surprised to find the seat to my left empty. Shoko wasn't in school today, and I knew the reason. It's not a guess, it's the real reason since Yuzuru had Dd yesterday from Shoko's phone to talk about this.
Shizuka Sensei ca from horoom, and before she left she left an announcent on this exact situation.
"So of you may have noticed that our special student, Shoko Nishimiya, isn't present today. She has gone to see a doctor, she's going to get an operation on her ears. Please, everybody, pray for her safety so that she can return soon." Shizuka sensei said before leaving.
Last night, Yuzuru contacted to ask what excuse they should use if people asked how Shoko was cured so suddenly. He told them to keep her in their house for a week and pretend that she was getting an operation. This situation was nothing short of a miracle, so Shoko's family didn't want to get attention towards them by presenting their lifelong deaf daughter to be suddenly fine. That's why they were willing to go through this, I suppose.
Classes until lunch break were as usual, albeit a bit boring since Shoko wasn’t here. So I decided to cultivate instead while classes went on. It’s optimal to close one’s eyes and sit in a lotus position to cultivate, but it’s not as if one can’t do it while sitting either. It’s a bit risky, but I have done this enough tis before to get used to it.
Soon, lunch break ca. I was a bit unsure about what to do for the next 40 minutes since I was sure neither Ruby nor Tsubasa would co looking for today. I wondered for a mont if I should go and see Tsubasa myself, but decided against it, she would get the wrong signal that way. Though I was a bit tempted since she is in the sa class as Issei Hyuudo, the main character, whom I saw yesterday.
Still, I chose to spend the lunch break alone. At least, that was my plan. When I decided to visit the rooftop of the school for the first ti, things changed. I did sense that the roof was already occupied, but I still went in anyway, because the presence there was interesting.
When I stepped through the door into the opening of the sky, the two girls standing there turned to ; one in surprise and another in scowl.
Shiranui Frill was who looked at in familiar surprise. The older girl beside her, whom I recognized as the Vice Student Council President, Tsubaki Shinra, the Queen of Sona Sitri’s Peerage, scowled at instead.
“The rooftop is restricted to entry by normal students,”
Said the glasses-wearing serious-looking woman, who reminded a little of Boa Hancock from One Piece by her looks and a bit by her attitude too.
