Chapter 36: Chapter 36 – Haughtiness Brought Doom

“I can’t allow a pure-blooded devil to die here because of a small mistake.” Continue Grayfia as she walked to me. She stopped in front of me and erased her ice wall, making her stand between me and Riser.

Rias had used the moment where Riser attack me to walk to her peerage and look at us from that place.

“Why are you defending that human! This Riser will kill that human because he offended Riser!”

Grayfia without saying anything encased him in ice and looked at me.

“I’m sorry for entering this territory without permission. I will ask for it next time, I hope you can forgive us.” She said as she bowed at me, surprising Rias again.

“No, I need some compensation for it. Let me think about it.” I said while putting my right hand on my chin. “Fire, and a pure-blooded devil, huh. Give me 3 phoenix tears and I will forget this incident.” I said while presenting 3 fingers at Grayfia.

She was glaring at me when I said that. But then, she looked like she remembered something and her expression was back to normal.

She looked at me and said. “1 Phoenix Tear. I think that’s the extent of this offense, no?”

I grinned at her words and said. “That’s for entering this territory without telling me. But, what about the case when he attacked me without asking anything?”

“Fine, two. That’s the limit that we can give because Phoenix Tear is a rare commodity even in the underworld.”

“That’s more like it.” I stood up and walked towards the exit door. Rias’s peerage makes way for me without me telling them, maybe they are afraid of my display earlier? A little display and I got 2 Phoenix Tears, a good haul if I say so myself.

I exited the room without even looking back to look at them. Outside of the room, Issei was still lying unconscious on her back. I just ignore him and walked back to my class.

Inside the ORC room

Rias was looking at the figure of Riku that exited the door. She was terrified, Riser was strong in her eyes and he could hurt him without much effort. Not to mention he was not using any technique and just used his sword to stab Riser without her being able to see his movement.

“Well then, Rias-sama. I will bring Riser back to the underworld. We will send the Phoenix Tears and come back here in a week or two after we are done with the formalities. Please prepare yourself in that day.” Said Grayfia before she teleported away with encased Riser.

Rias’s body turned weak after Grayfia left and she was about to collapse.

“Buchou!” Akeno shouted and support Rias over her shoulder. She slowly walked towards the couch and flopped Rias down, letting her rest on the couch.

“Thank you Akeno.” Said Rias weakly.

“Are we going to fight with him in a Rating Game, Buchou?” Asked Kiba from behind Rias.

“We don’t have a choice if we only get a strong ally like that guy…” Said Akeno while she was looking outside the door.

“That’s true, will he agree to it though? If we ask him for help, will he become a devil and help us?” Asked Rias to no one in particular. She was looking at the ceiling while hoping that someone will support her word.

“I can’t imagine it.” Said Shirone as she looked at the blood of Riser on the floor.

The attention of everyone in the room was focused on Shirone as she continued. “I can’t imagine he would be turned into a devil. He’s strong.”

Shirone’s word managed to gain the attention of Rias. Rias remembered something and looked at Shirone before she asked.

“How about your sister, Koneko? Was she able to help us?” Rias was full of hope when she asked that.

How did she forget that a former stray devil was in this school, lingering without any King? Rias has a smile on her face, but it was quickly shot down by Shirone.

She shook her head and advice Rias. “It’s better if you didn’t ask her. Riku-senpai will hate you for that. I don’t know what will happen in that case.”

Rias was looking down while biting her lips. “Should we unseal Gasper in this case?” muttered Rias.

At that time, a voice came from the door. “B-Buchou, I-I will do my best. S-so y-you can count on me.”

A figure of Issei holding his stomach while smiling entered the room and walked towards Rias.

Asia was approaching Issei in panic and started healing him. “Thank you.” Said Issei to Asia which she answered with a small nod.

“I- I won’t allow anything to happen, so please trust me!”

Seeing Issei’s figure, Rias nodded her head and said. “Then, I think it’s time to go to the underworld and train ourselves. Everyone agrees right?”

“Of course, Buchou.” Answered Akeno.

“Certainly, I agree as well.” Added Kiba.

“L-let’s train ourselves to be stronger!!” Shouted Issei.

“I-I will do my best!” added Asia.

Everyone was looking at the last figure that didn’t say anything yet. Shirone was looking at them with apologizing gaze and said. “I’m sorry, but I can’t join the training. I-I have something to do. Also Buchou, can we talk alone?”

Rias was having a bad feeling about that, but she nodded her head and said. “Sure. Everyone, could you leave me with Koneko for a moment?”

Everyone except Akeno nodded their head at Rias’s word. “Can I stay here, Buchou? I am worried about you.”

Rias looked at Koneko to get her confirmation and she answered. “I don’t mind.”

With that, everyone left the room, leaving Shirone with Akeno and Rias.

Rias sat on her chair in the room with Akeno standing behind her with her hand rested in front of her. Shirone was standing in front of the table and looking at Rias straight in her eyes.

“So, what do you want to talk about, Koneko?” Asked Rias.

“I, wanted to leave the peerage after the Rating Game.”

Rias was speechless because of Shirone’s request while Akeno was surprised. Akeno was covering her mouth with her hand before asking. “Can you tell us your reason?”

Shirone nodded her head and said. “I wanted to stay with my sister. I’ve met her, this time I wanted to be with her. I can’t leave her alone again.”

“No, I won’t allow you.” Said Rias with a clear tone as she glared at Shirone.

“Why? You promised him that you will allow anyone to leave your peerage if that person wanted to.” Asked Shirone with confusion.

“You will die if you leave the peerage. You know that, right?”

“I won’t. He won’t let me.” Answered Shirone.

“No means no. Akeno, we are leaving.”

Rias stood from her seat and walked out of the room with Akeno following her from behind, looking at Shirone before exiting the room. Shirone was standing motionlessly with a bitter expression on her face.

After standing for a minute or so, she decided something.

She looked in the direction where she felt her sister's energy and resolute herself. ‘I need to ask his help.’
