Chapter 40

"Before we start I have invited Sona to talk about the Fallen Angel which attacked Issei." The Gremory Heiress mentioned that to Alex.

When Rias mentioned Sona he then remember something weird...

This morning he was quite baffled that he didn't see Sona at the gate, only the Vice President.

And the taller girl only told him that Student Council President was busy.

This instantly felt quite fishy for Alex, Sona is far too serious about not doing her morning rituals like that.

Especially if it's related to the school.

'Maybe our chess marches finally caught up to her?' For a second he thought about that, he does wonder how it's going to progress from here?

He can bet on the fact that Serafall should be on his case by now.

'That percentage goes up with me having Divine Dividing…power attracts power.'

He thought about this while stroking his lovely girlfriend's hair, by this point, the pink-haired girl closed her eyes and just used Alex's shoulder as a pillow, completely ignoring where she was.

"Sure, from what I understand she was regular Fallen Angel with single pair of wings." The black-haired teen for a second looked at the ceiling pretending to recall things from last day…

Well, more like 8 months ago, as that is how long they have been away this time.

"I see, nothing major then…" Rias sighed with relief, she doesn't want to contact her older brother…at all...

"True, but you should contact Underworld, they should know that Fallen are operating in your territory." Alex sharply pointed out.

The red-haired devil flinched for a second from his look, she could only bite her lower lip from frustration, should she tell him who is her older brother? And just how overprotective he is?

"I suggest we wait for a bit." Another voice said in Rias sted, it came from back as everyone heard the doors opening.

Alex didn't need to look as he knew it was Sona, from her magic signature even how she walks, he sensed it through vibrations… before she opened the doors.

The teen grimaced realising how he picking all that up and analyzing at a subconscious level, the static field thing, which was just an idea given to him by Julis now it was turning into the real thing.

For now, it didn't turn into a skill or magic, but probably will in future if he can already make all that out from use at a subconscious level.

The Sitri Heiress walked over and took her seat on the next available couch next to Alex, her gaze went on him for a moment, she saw Julis sitting on his lap and completely ignoring everything around them.

At that moment some jealousy manifested in her gut, after all, she suppose to be engaged to him now, she did tell her parents… it was a mess...

She wants it to happen, and same time she doesn't want it to happen, not only that, she still needs to talk with him! But how? She wants it to be a conversation just between the two of them!

And then how will his girlfriend react? Internally the black-haired girl just grimace at the incoming awkward conversation she will soon experience...

"I agree with Sona!" Rias happily said that, snapping the Sitri Heiress from her deep thought…

Pity the girl doesn't even realise that her prolonged silence and her uncomfortable and out place behaviour has been noticed by the pair sitting next to her...

*Sigh*

"I can see that neither of you want to contact people above, the problem with that is that the more it going to get out of hand the worse it going to look on both of you, making you two look incompetent, if you two are to follow the proper procedure then it will look that you are doing your duties properly, that's at least how things work from where I come from," Alex explained from his side and how he sees it.

As heir to multibillion euros company he was taught from early how things work in HIS future company, hierarchy has to be kept in place, as it exists for a reason.

He still tries to wrap his head how he got such company from such 'simple' card usage…

Rias and Sona looked at each other for a second, he can see that both of them are struggling with coming with a solution.

"I… suggest we at least check who are we dealing with before we report anything," Sona said that while fixing her glasses, it was an instinctual thing for her at this point.

The Sitri Heiress tried to balance this between telling her sister and not disappointing Alex, as their unreasonable actions to him will look like incompetence.

Something she doesn't want at all, so she is having an extreme mental battle on how to progress from here.

And Rias was on the same boat as her best friend, both of them are quite frustrated as they know how their older siblings will going to react if they going to reveal some Fallen Angel activity in their territory…

"True we can assess the situation first before reporting anything to higher-ups, that would increase the prestige of you two as well, the better the report the more competent you going to look for the devils up there."

As Alex was talking about that, he could see gear starting to spin in their heads.

'Seriously they taking the bait so easily!'

'You do realise that they are extremely sheltered devil girls? At least that's what your memories have on them' Albion chipped in.

'I thought you are catching up on your nap time?'

'I was, and still am…'

The black-haired teen eyebrow twitched, if he is sleeping why he is talking then?

'Not that it is a bait, you simply giving them a good solution.'

'And making the Satans getting close to them and in turn yourself.'

'They already skulking around as it is.' Alex internally eye-rolled at him.

'True, only this way they won't need an excuse to meet you.'

The white dragon pointed that out, not that the dragon is wrong, only Alex dislikes incompetency much more than caring about attention.

"He is right, we can scout out some areas for these fallen angels, and then we will see what we are dealing with and report to... brother… or your sister…"

Rias said with a reluctant voice, she started with an excited tone until she realised to who she will have to report it.

The black-haired teen could just feel how open Gremory was, one could piece together her family situation just from that.

'Sigh… I NEED to relax in some way… this is just getting ridiculous…' the teen thought with a grimace, his mind was falling right back into his hunter habits...

"Very well, then we can agree on this course of action," Sona spoke as she got up from her couch, the Sitri Heiress just wants to go away and think.

"Yes! I will contact you on how we will proceed!" Rias was quite excited about this for a moment, maybe she can get some brownie points by showing off her managing skills!

The black-haired devil heiress nodded before leaving the occult research club, for a second she looked at Alex before closing the doors behind her.

Sona's strange behaviour didn't go unnoticed by Rias as well, the red-haired heiress was curious about what was happening with her best friend and rival.

'Did someone beat her in chess?' She curiously looked at the doors for a second, such an idea was quite baffling for Rias, not even adult devils can beat her best friend in chess!

'But still, something DID happen, and she continuously would look at Komnenos-san, does she has some feelings for him?' Gremory heiress started to speculate even utilise her otaku knowledge to come up with a plausible conclusion!

"Now that that is out of the way, we can discuss something else." Rias got everyone's attention back at her.

Her peerage can see that there was some nervousness in her voice too, Akeno was quiet the whole time and mostly observing Alex, trying to piece the mystery which is him.

The Queen can tell that he is extremely gifted at wielding lightning, something she has not expected to see in someone who has no direct connection to any supernatural being for parent.

And it could not be a Sacred Gear she has not heard of such gear before.

The black-haired teen was like nexus of electricity! As someone who wields lightning as well, this was utterly insane!

Such connection to element should only exist with elemental being OR a God of such element!

"You asking us to join your peerage?" Alex eye-rolled while saying that, even Julis opened her eyes and looked at Rias.

That moment ocean blue eyes has meet another pair of ocean blue eyes.

One pair of them narrowed her eyes, the redhead slightly flinched when she felt IT… a threat to her life...

'W-What kind of training did they went through? I can feel goosebumps going through my back!'

Rias doesn't realise but by this point, Julis has killed hundreds of wolves, from burning, stabbing, or making them explode.

It was approaching the point that it was already becoming a natural thing using her powers to slay…

That's why the Gremory heiress who is a supernatural being picked it up, her senses are sharper even if they are not trained, she can tell that the girl in front of her looks like a beautiful high schooler, who can kill her without even batting an eye.

"Y-Yes…" Seconds later she composed herself." Unlike most devil families we Gremory treat our Peerage with respect and treat them fairly."

"And that is why I should join?" Alex asked with a baffled look, Rias needs lessons in how to offer deals ASAP! This doesn't sound like a devil offer at all!

"N-No! I mean we can offer lands, titles, money, even good protection from most of the supernatural world! Not only that but perks of devil race, and once you have distinguished yourself you can get peerage on our own and even harem if you want! Devil laws allow it!"

Alex can already hear lewd giggling in the background, Issei was already sold…

"Protection huh… I see. so, your brother is quite high position then isn't it?"

The black-haired teen didn't expected for Rias to use her brother like that, then again she is desperate.

"Y-Yes, he is current Lucifer and very overprotective of me, that's why I don't want to mention to him about those Fallen Angels…" The red-haired heiress came out clean with him, no need to hide stuff if she wants him to join his peerage.

"That's why I want to show to him that I can take care of myself!"

"By showing some rebellious tendencies and rushing headfirst into unknown?" Alex said with a deadpan look.

His girlfriend slightly snorted hearing that, even Rias Queen tried hard not to laugh.

"...It came out wrong…" Rias blushed for a second and even looked away.

She just embarrassed herself!

*Sigh*

"Well, nonetheless, I will have to respectfully decline your offer, but we can have a contract if you want I do have some magic practice."

*Snort*

The Heavenly Dragon snorted hearing about his 'magic practise'.

Still, he is better than the ultimate pervert…

Rias nodded at him, at least she did some progress! Better than Sona!

"Okay! I agree!"

Alex sighed internally after hearing that, now that is over he can leave and try to relax away from this school stuff…

Julis moved off him when she felt that he wants to move, they were about to leave when they heard.

"W-Wait! Komnenos-san! If you want you can stay here, and we can explain some things to Issei!"

The black-haired teen was about to decline, but then he remembered something…

'Wasn't it today when the perv is getting attacked by that fedora guy?'

'I think so, the 'anime' and books don't explain specific times each event happen…'

'Well, it's worth trying, I want to see how I stack up with that guy…'

'He is a two winger crow, you will demolish him…' Albion spoke with a bored and sleepy tone.

'True, even better, I need some practice against humanoid type enemies.'

'True… very well wake me up when you fight him.'

After saying that Alex heard him fall asleep, his eyebrow twitched for a second, for others it looked like he was thinking about something instead of talking with Heavenly Dragon.

'I am an alarm clock now?'

"Fine, let's see how you going to introduce the supernatural world to him, I will add if you mess up something."

Rias pouted at him this time, Akeno laughed, even her knight slightly smiled hearing that, which he hide quick enough.

Only Julis had questioning look directed at him, why was he staying?

Nonetheless, the red-haired heiress smiled she get some brownie points if she does the whole thing properly!

The black-haired teen motioned for the pervert to get up from the couch and sit in front of Rias while he takes the perverts old seat and gets to the sideline and get comfortable on the big couch not far from the silver-haired cat girl.

This was a much better seat than the other one, even more space…

Only that the silver-haired girl moved away from him, softly mumbling something about dragon smell...

"Why don't we get some tea? Akeno please make us some tea." Rias decided it was time to show off what her Queen can do!
