chapter 3

Days pass.

Belial has been keeping up his grueling training as usual.

He uses the school hours to circulate and increase his demonic power. While focusing on physical strength and technique after class. He's also been diligent to keep up his sparring sessions with Kiba, at least once per day.

It's now the weekend and Rias has called him in to the club room, for his first solo client run.

"You know what to do by now, yes?" Rias asks. Having a slight worried look, while sitting in her chair.

"Don't worry buchou. Tagging along with Kiba and now Akeno-san a few days ago, has given me all I need." Belial places a hand on his chest and gives her a slight, elegant bow.

"Alright. I trust you." Rias smiles and nods.

Belial responds with the same. Then heads to the back, where Akeno has prepared the magic circle. "Make sure you come back in one piece." She jokes and chuckles.

"You will be waiting for me?" Belial asks.

Akeno's smile is interrupted by slight suprise. Her face then morps into a relaxed smile and she responds. "I will."

"Then I have nothing to worry about." Belial says and steps into the circle. After which he disappears from the club room.

Belial reappears in a modern apartment. In an illuminated living room. His soft smile disappears. His face becoming cold.

"Who summoned me?" Belial's tone becomes sever. Looking around the room, noticing a bunch of action figures and anime merch on the shelves.

"It is I, great demon." A chubby guy with glasses responds. For some reason he's kneeling on the ground, with a gravure catalogue in front of him.

Belial remains indifferent. "Speak your wish and provide compensation." He states, looking down on the guy.

The chubby guy looks up at the tall, blonde man and seems raptured. Then he scrunches his face in anger and starts crying. "Great demon! Help me! My favourite idol has gotten a boyfriend! This is unacceptable! Unacceptable I say!!!" He starts raving and ripping the sheets off the catalogue.

Belial is shocked. What the hell has he come upon? However outwardly he keeps a cold facade. "I see. This idol of yours got a name?"

"Yes! It's Otome-chan. That's her!" His emotions swich to reverent excitement and he takes one of the ripped pages, showing it to Belial.

The chubsters expression changed so fast, Belial can't believe this guy was crying before. The only thing confirming he's not delusional, are the still wet tear stains on the chubster's face.

Belial reveals a cruel smirk and, in a slow, controlled motion, ducks down on one knee. Placing a hand on the chubsters shoulder. "Little chubster, don't worry. If you provide me sufficient compensation, she will be single again by tomorrow." He speaks sweet words into his ear, like the devil he is.

"Haaa!" The little chubster becomes elated. Almost cumming in his pants.

"Thank you great demon! Thank you!" He proceeds to prostate himself repeatedly.

Belial stands again. "Now then, how much are you willing to pay for my service?"

The chubster looks up again and quickly stands. Rushing to take a box with an action figure inside from his shelf. "I will give you this. The 1st collectors edition action figure of Hanna, the brave!" He presents the thing.

Belial stares at the thing for a couple a seconds and sighs. "This was a waste of time." He turns and gets ready to leave.

"Wait!" Understanding his dissatisfaction, the chubster screams. "This is the first collectors edition action figure. It's worth atleast 100,000 yen at the market. This is how serious I am about this!" He yells. Confident the devil didn't understand the value of it.

He struck a nail on it's head. Belial with his back turned to him is making a disbelieving expression.

That thing is really worth this much?!

However he quickly changes his expression and turns around with anger on his face. "You ignorant cretin! I know the value of that collectors edition action figure very well. It's your cavalier attitude towards your idol, Otome-chan, that I'm dissatisfied with!" Belial reprimands him harshly.

The chubster is both confused and appalled. Sweat starting to drip from his forehead.

"You offer a mere 100,000 yen action figure as compensation from liberating Otome-chan from that sleaze bag... Have you no shame!!!" Belial roars.

"If I knew you were a man of such weak heart, I wouldn't have even set foot in this place! Goodbye." Belial states and turns around again.

"Wait!!!" The chubster roars. This time he's panting with sweat dripping so much, his glasses become foggy.

Belial turns back to him, crossing his arms. Staring at the chubster in cold silence.

The chubster stands. Not speaking a word and looking down. Suddenly he looks at Belial. The fire in his eyes burning like a bright star. "Great demon... You are right... My resolve was weak. I have no excuse..." He looks down again in shame.

Belial waits for him to continue. Only tilting his chin up more, as if indicating he's glad the chubster finally understands.

"To liberate Otome-chan, I would gladly give up even this life. Great demon!.." Chubster looks up at Belial again. A great amount of anguish on his face."Great demon!!! Can you really do it?! Can you really liberate Otome-chan?!?!" He stands right in front of Belial, crying and screaming. Spittle flying out of his mouth with each word.

Belial uses his demonic energy to protect himself, just in time. His expression softens into an encouraging smile. "I will. I will liberate her." Belial reassures the man in a soft tone. Laying his hand on the man's shoulders.

"Uwaaaaa!" The chubster falls on his knees and cries. Loud, ugly cries, with snot and drool coming down his face.

"I will do it... I will give you my family's inheritance!" He blurts out and takes flight. Figuratively. Running to another room and rummaging about. The chubster returns a while later, dragging a box with him.

"This should be enough. Enough to liberate Otome chan!!!" He screams her name.

Once he's dragged the box in front of Belial, Belial opens it with a frown. But what he sees inside make his eyebrows fly up.

Bars of gold sit snugly in the box.

Having a hard time controlling his smile, Belial makes a warm expression of encouragement. "I knew it... I knew you had it in you." He turns towards the chubster.

"Little chubster!!!" Belial screams.

"Great demon!!!" The chubster screams, while crying.

Belial opens his arms and so does the chubster. They start rushing towards eachother, about to embrace in a manly hug.

But just as they reach within arms length, the chubsters progress is interrupted by a contract shoved in his face. "Sign this first." Belial states.

All the flight is take out if the man and he adjusts his glasses. "Of course." He calms down immediately and becomes all business like. Calmly taking the contract and examining it. After which her takes the pen from Belial and signs the deal.

"Then, I will now go and take care of that sleaze bag." Belial says and takes the box with him.

"Great demon!!!" The chubster screams again, but when he looks for him, Belial is already gone.

....

Belial is teleported back to the club room. Standing in the middle of the magic circle, with a box of gold in his hands.

Belial sighs and drops his head. "That was so fucking weird..." He mutters to himself.

But atleast he got a box of gold, so it was worth the suffering. He gives it a light shake. There has to be atleast 10 kilos in here.

"How was your first time?" Akeno questions. Being the only one in the club room.

Belial is a bit startled from hearing her voice. "Akeno...I need your help. Come with me." Belial says and walks over to her. Grabbing her by the arm and taking her with him

"Eh? What..." Akeno doesn't even understand what's happening. As she is dragged along like a balloon.
