Interlude

Life was different for Akemi the past couple weeks, in a good way.

Sure she was randomly kidnapped out of nowhere.... nearly died a few times..... and had her world flipped upside down... but she was honestly the happiest she had ever been in her entire life.

Admittedly she enjoyed spending her time at Gold's house, even if he wasn't trying to teach her something new. Not that she hated her place or anything, it's just.... she didn't feel so restricted compared to being in her own home.

Akemi never admitted it, but Gold was spot on with his assessment of her. She was a closet pervert who had delusions of grandeur. She desired things like getting a harem, getting laid, touching oppai. But she always repressed those feelings whenever she was in public or even in her own home out of fear of what others would think of her.

She was especially afraid of what her parents would think of her. The thought of them rejecting her perverted nature scared her.

At school, there was a perverted duo that she was actually jealous of. She envied the way they were able to openly express their desires. There was a time that she hoped to be friends with them, but she was never able to open up. She didn't understand how they could take everyone's scorn and mean looks without batting an eye.

Honestly there were times when she wanted to scream out in frustration, but she just kept it bottled up. Then Gold came along and gave her a declaration she would never forget.

"I-Issei Hyoudou?" He asked unsure. She could feel the desperation in his voice for her to say yes. She guessed that he had mistaken her for someone else.

"Oh no, I'm Akemi Hyoudou." Akemi was startled when he just dropped to his knees.

"Please... Please tell me you like Oppai!" She really wanted to scream out yes. Yes she did, but that wasn't what normal people sounded like. The answer became stuck at the back of her throat until she was able to make her answer sound normal.

"Um... I think they're okay?" Honestly this was depressing her even more than usual. But she didn't have time to be depressed when the blonde shouted to the world with no regard for any sense of normality.

"NOOOOOOOO!" She jumped at his indignant cries. She noticed that he went silent for a moment and felt like she should have left then.

"I've decided." She remembered it vividly, the way his eyes shined in determination. Like rays of light that would lead her to salvation. "Even if I'm not an expert at it, I shall teach you the beauty of tits!" That day was the first time she had experienced so many different emotions at once.

Since that day, she had felt a lot more content with her life. Despite the looming dangers that Gold always warned her of. She felt more relaxed, confident with her head raised and determined.

"You sure you don't want to join my peerage? Becoming a devil has a lot of perks you know." Rias-senpai tried to convince her again. She didn't really mind it, she was actually tempted to accept a few times.

"I just want to think about it some more." Akemi replied, rubbing the back of her head with a wry smile.

"You know, you could get your own peerage as well if you worked your way up to high class one day." Rias teased her as she felt her hot breath next to her ear. "They would do anything you wanted." Rias whispered, causing her face to turn red.

Akemi glanced around at Rias's peerage full of beautiful girls. The busty Akeno Himejima, the cute school mascot Koneko Toujo and the popular elegant looking Yumi Kiba. She was honestly jealous, but she felt that she could also get a harem as long as she became stronger like Gold told her.

Rias seemed to notice that she wasn't completely taking the bait so she seemed to smile before backing off. "You know, if you were to get your own peerage one day... you could try adding Gold to your harem as well." And just like that, something in Akemi Hyoudou seemed to crack. She never considered it, having Gold in her harem. She would be lying if she said that she didn't see him that way, but Gold always seemed too good for her.

In Akemi's eyes, she saw Gold as the perfect role model. The way he lived his life in freedom without restraining himself, she aspired to be like that one day. But now Rias had given her something to think about.

She thought back to all her time spent with him. His perfect smile, his perfect voice, his rock hard abs that formed a line down to his... she just got wet thinking about it.

She wanted him.

"Just... something to consider." Rias sat back as she nonchalantly spoke out loud but to Akemi, it was the alluring whisper of the devil.

"You alright there? You've been sorta staring at me for awhile now." Gold pointed out as he's noticed that Akemi seemed to be really focused on him for the past hour. He was honestly getting a bit uncomfortable under her stare.

Akemi didn't seem to hear him. She was frustrated, not because she was repressed or anything.

But because she had been trying to subtly seduce Gold for the past week to no avail. She had been lounging around his room in very little clothing, at least it's little compared to what she usually wears when she's alone in her own room.

When she had a date with Raynare, she made sure to dress as sexily as possible before getting his opinion on her outfit. While his comments made her happy, there was no sign of jealousy or desire in his voice. Just an expression of approval, as if she had gotten an answer correct in a math lesson.

Even Koneko seemed to notice what she was trying to do. There were silent conversations between them whenever they looked into eachother's eyes. Koneko seemed to have gotten this smug look ever since the time she jumped into the medicinal bath with them. Speaking of which, she was frustrated that Gold didn't even bother to admire her naked body during that.

She was starting to get insecure, it wasn't like she was flat or anything. She had D-cups, a bubbly ass and her body had been getting more and more toned with training recently. Yet Gold still never seemed to give off any sign that he was attracted to her. At most, he would call her cute but that's all!

Akemi didn't know at the time. That every person in the multiverse with the name Aversis took the Student/Mentor relationship very seriously on a subconscious level. The moment someone were to enter that kind of relationship with an Aversis, it would be incredibly difficult to break out of that. It would be like being friend-zoned, except as either a teacher or student.

"Hmm, guess her minds on something." Gold concluded as he looked away from the intense silent stare of his student. Maybe she was just on her period of something.
