Sona - So Astolfo-san I think you know why I called you here right?

Astolfo - I do have an idea Sona but ... there are more people than I would like here

I was sitting inside the student council room, in front of me was Sona sitting in her chair, Tsubaki standing beside her, the biggest problem was who was next to me, a girl with red hair and a brunette, they both looked like adults just because of the size of their breasts, it's hard to believe they're almost my age.

Sona - Well they're only here because Rias is the one who rules this territory with me, so I'd like to keep you aware of our little problem.

Rias - Sona I would like to ask, why did you call me here so suddenly?

Akeno and Tsubaki started making a little tea while we were talking, they did it quite efficiently, they should probably be used to it by now

Sona - Well Rias I just noticed today that Astolfo-san here has a huge amount of sacred energy, we couldn't feel it because it was sealed I believe. But as I passed me today at the gate I could feel a small amount coming out of your hands, I did a little detection magic my sister taught me and I ended up discovering your huge sacred energy reserves

The room seemed to go silent as she said this, Rias seemed to come back from his little world when the noise of 3 cups of tea were placed on the table, she turned and looked at me through half-closed eyes, and they opened in shock along with her fish-like mouth.

Rias - I understand now... Astolfo-san.... are you an...angel?

I look at her and speak with a slight tremor in my voice

Astolfo -N...no Rias I'm not an angel

Sona - first let's introduce ourselves , I'am Sona Sitri Heiress of the Sitri clan

Rias - I'm Rias Gremory, Heiress of the Gremory clan

Sona - You could introduce yourself so we'll know what you are or who, as your reserves of both magic and sacred magic are quite abnormal, even for angels or fallen angels

When she finishes saying this I seem to fill my chest with pride and with a radiant smile, I raise my left hand summoning my spear (Trap Of Araglia), causing the demons' eyes to widen and I speak almost as if I've said it a thousand times .

Astolfo - You can call me Astolfo I'm one of the 20 heroes of Charlemagne, son of Otto King of England

I speak with a radiant smile and bubbling with happiness, leaving everyone there perplexed, when I realize everyone is looking at me I let my spear disappear and with a little blush on my face I scratch the back of my neck with my right hand

Astolfo - Sorry I... I don't know why but I have these bursts of joy out of nowhere

Sona - I... I don't know what makes me more uneasy about the fact that you present yourself as a paladin from centuries ago or your contagious joy

When she says that my face gets redder, Akeno giggled (Ara ara), Rias seeing my suffering turns around and speaks

Rias - Astolfo-san ... can you explain better who you are and what that spear was?

Astolfo - I am a descendant of the Paladin Astolfo from France, and my spear I believe is the spear of my ancestor Trap Of Argalia.

Tsubaki - Could you show it again?

Bringing his right hand forward, he summons his spear, it was a large spear no one could deny, being a little bigger than Astolfo himself, it was white with golden accents, the tip of the spear drew extra attention to the demons by for some reason they were a little afraid of being skewered by her

Sona - It's a very beautiful spear Astolfo-san but let's get back to what matters, I would like to ask what are you doing here in kuoh and if you are connected to any other faction?

Astolfo ( I think I was worried a little too much ..... I'll tell you the truth that it's better)

Astolfo - Well Sona I'm not related to any faction as I found out about them a little while ago, and I've been living here for a few years actually, I came from France to live alone at the age of 14 but I've been here many times before. .

For some reason Rias seemed to have stars in her eyes, it made me shiver a little but I let it go, while Sona just nodded.

Sona - Well then, I believe you know how to use your spear?

I give a slight nod and tilt it a little towards my shoulder, like I'm asking why.

Sona - I believe you know about the Lost Demons and would like to ask for your help, you see we have some commitments in the underworld so how about we hire you to take care of them for us?

Rias - Hmm.... this is a good idea you have Sona since my peerage has their contracts and I have to talk to my brother about some things, Astolfo-san you wouldn't just improve your skill with your spear but it would also get combat experience and we could start to build a good relationship between you and the devil faction

Astolfo - (That's good too.... They probably have one thing in mind but I'm going to fall into the trap as it would give me extra training he he he)

Astolfo - Of course I could do that

I speak in a very cheerful tone, then I turn and say

Astolfo - But how much could you give me?

Sona - um... how about 200,000 yen for middle and lower class demons and 500,000 to 600,000 yen for upper class?

Astolfo - THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY Who do I have to kill Tell me tell me I wanna eat a lot of pizza today

I speak with exaggerated hand gestures and bubbling with joy

Sona - We'll talk tomorrow, how about we meet at your club Rias ?

Rias - That's fine with me, after class you can stop by, and we'll solve some things (Maybe we can make an alliance with him ..... or bring him to my peerage he he he)

Astolfo - I'll go then, I'll meet you tomorrow Bye Bye

Astolfo leaves the student council room with great joy, going to his house thinking about all the money he could earn, he closes the door and leaves

[Sona Pov]

Sona - Rias I was thinking about making an alliance with him ... his reservations are abnormal even for high class angels , besides this can help you with ... that

Rias - Yes Sona I know ..... let's hope everything goes well, I'll make an offer for him to join the peerage but... since he probably won't accept, let's put him at least on our side

I let out a little sigh, it's hard to see my friend and rival in this situation.
