"Talking"

-Sora Sakai -
Watching from a distance as my Miko Summon acts as myself while I play its role, I try not to move around too much and potentially reveal the trick. Instead, I continue using my [Bladesmith Arsenal] to attack Riser at every opportunity, constantly forcing him to dodge and giving no room for him to actually engage the Miko in hand-to-hand combat.
'These fake bodies you put on us are amazing, Gaia.'
Thanks!
But they don't last very long, and can't really take a hit
:(
You'll need to level up Innovate Clear more if you want them to be better.
That's fine. They are only meant to give me an opening anyways.
An opening that presents itself as soon as I see Riser getting ready to lunge at my Summon.
Opening my Inventory, I pull out the newest addition to my collection. A bright golden spear that gives off Holy Light in greater density than my Blade Blacksmith can create. '[Observe].'
[Gae Buidhe] (Legendary) - (Artifact)
"Golden Rose of Mortality"
A golden cursed holy spear, forged with the light of a Fallen.
Inflicts wounds which cannot be healed unless the wielder wishes so.
That's right, a recreation of Diarmuid Ua Duibhne's spear from Fate. Something I didn't think was even possible to make until I leveled up my Artificer Profession. And it's all thanks to this little guy.
[Shard of Fallen Light] (Rare) - (Catalyst)
"A fragment of power that once belonged to the Fallen."
A catalyst containing a powerful source of Light.
Apparently, unlike the minor enchantments I can add to regular weapons like I've done in the past, actual Catalysts like this can be forged into Artifacts; rare weapons and objects with amazing abilities.
The sheer potential this offers for the future has me so excited, that I can't wait to start gathering more Catalysts to test out the limits of what I can create.
Grabbing the spear, I activate [Oni: Touki] to increase my speed, encasing my body in golden light as my tattoos flare, shattering the pixel illusion covering me.
I've only got one shot to hit Riser by surprise, otherwise he'll be playing the rest of this fight safe and staying at a distance; a terrible situation for me since I've got almost no ranged attacks compared to him.
Dashing as fast as I can towards him, I almost wish I could see the look on his face as the illusion covering the Miko shatters.
As soon as I'm close enough I thrust Bae Buidhe through his back, severing his spinal cord and nicking his heart as the bladed tip bursts through his chest. The properties of the cursed holy spear going to work immediately as they repel his regenerative flames, keeping the wound from closing and allowing a deluge of his blood to trail down onto the ground below.
"You're right, Riser. This is Game Over." I announce, his face shakily turning to look over his shoulder in terror as his pupils shrink. No doubt the pain he's feeling is overwhelming.
His mouth stutters for a second, as if not comprehending what I've just done until the pain becomes too great for him to hold back.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
Grimacing at the high-pitched scream, I yank the spear out of his back, watching silently as his flaming wings die out causing his body dropping almost ten feet. His screaming continues as he crashes to the ground, immediately curling up in a fetal position as he clutches desperately at the wound in his chest.
Following behind at a slow pace, I wait until my feet gently touch the fake grass before speaking. "It's been fun, kinda…but this fight is over. Surrender."
"Wha-WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!" Riser screams, hysterical eyes staring up at me as if I am some kind of strange creature.
Chuckling softly, I shrug in response. "Nothing much, just gave you a taste of your own medicine." Motioning to Gae Buidhe, I add. "This spear renders regenerating capabilities invalid. A new creation of mine that I'm quite proud of."
Seeing the fury on his face I interrupt him before he can speak. "Don't think for a second that this is unfair either. After all, is it really any different than the bottles of Phoenix Tears you gave your Peerage? As long as this was made by me, then there shouldn't be any problems…right?"
Even with the mask on, you can hear my smirk as I watch whatever response he had die out.

"Now…enough stalling." Twisting the spear around, I point the bladed tip at his throat. "Surrender."
Riser's face, already paling from the blood loss, becomes a sickly color as he nervously watches Gae Buidhe's tip rest inches away from his neck. "…no."
"What?"
"I-I said…no!" The look of fear gives way to anger as he glares hatefully up at me. "You think this pain will break Riser? HAH! Riser Phenex is stronger than this!" Adding to his scream, Riser flares his power once again, momentarily igniting his flaming wings into existence.
Instead of backing away, I tilt my head slightly as I stare down in amusement, removing the golden mask so that he can see my amused face.
"Is that so?..." My voice trails off as I shift my body slightly, moving the spear away from his neck in order to point at something a few feet from us. "Can you say the same for your little sister?"
-Riser Phenex -
"Wha-What?" He stutters, following the direction that the terrifying spear is pointing towards before his whole body locks up.
There, several dozen feet away from them, is a small golden dome of energy that the silver-masked Summons is holding in place. And in side of it, frantically trying to bust her way out of it with her flames only to fail due to her lack of strength, is his little sister. "R-Ravel!"
'She lost? How could she lose? She should have been able to deal with that pesky Summon easily…' Riser's mind slowly comes to a realization that he hadn't picked up on until now. '…except, she's never actually had to fight in our Rating Games. I've been the one doing the fighting for her when my Peerage is defeated.'
His brotherly instincts raged at him to fight back, to save his sister and defeat this annoying worm that's threatening all of his plans.
'But…what if he gets to her first?' Riser pauses at the horrifying thought. 'I can handle the pain, but Ravel…she's still too young. Her mind won't be able to handle it.'
Thus became the Magician's real ultimatum. Does he ruin all of his plans for the future in order to save his little sister…or does he let her suffer and potentially lose her mind, all for his ambitions?
As much as he hates being nothing more than a third son, Riser loves his little sister more.
"I surrender."
-Sora Sakai -
"Riser Phenex has Surrendered. Sora Sakai wins!" Grayfia's announcement is like a breath of fresh air.

Letting out a relieved sigh, I mentally command the [Innovate Clear] dimension to disperse alongside the Shinshoku, causing the area around us to shatter as the once grassy landscape and blue skies changes back to the ruined area and purple skies of the Rating Game arena.
Glancing at the still downed Riser, I undo Gae Buidhe's ability to make his wounds unhealable with a thought. A useful trick for if I ever need to use this against friendlies. And it works instantly as his regenerative flames rush to repair the damage, healing him in seconds and getting a relieved sigh.
As we wait to be teleported out of the arena, multiple textboxes appear.
Quest Completed!
[I Object!]
Reward:
Unlocked - [Shard of Demonic Power]

[Shard of Demonic Power] (Rare) - (Catalyst)
"A fragment of power that once belonged to the Devils."
A catalyst containing a powerful source of Demonic Power.
Oooooh! Now we're talking! If the [Shard of Fallen Light] let me create something as powerful as Gae Buidhe, then what can I make with this one?
And what's this new title I just got?
Notice!
*Title: N/A changed to [Summoner].*

Title Perk Unlocked:
[Summoner] (Perk)
All [Class: Summoner] skills level slightly faster.
Hahahahaha! YES! That's what I'm talking about!
This will be great for getting those 5 levels needed to unlock a second Class, and speed things along with getting the Class itself MAXed out to Level 100. I'm too much of a completionist to leave my Class unfinished after getting a second one, and the higher levels are going to take time to get so this should speed things up wonderfully.
Moments later, magic circles appear underneath our feet. Riser's and Ravel's are a different type then my own, likely to take them to the Recovery Ward where his Peerage is resting at, whereas mine looks noticeably familiar to the ones Rias uses.
As the circles teleport us away, I spare a final look to Riser, happy to see him fussing over his little sister like a good older brother as we are all quickly teleporting out of the Rating Game.
- Observation Room -
Blinking away the spots in my eyes at the sudden change in lighting as soon as I appear, I barely get a chance to take in my surroundings before my vision is filled with long crimson hair.
"You did it!" Rias cheers as she throws her arms around my neck, practically mashing our bodies together as she bounces excitedly in celebration. The feeling of her chest rubbing against mine forcing me to try and keep calm so that there's no…*ahem* reaction. "I knew you could do it!"

"Indeed. My little sister was quite certain you could pull this off." A male's voice intrudes on the moment. Drawing our attention away from each other and towards the two men standing next to us.

Holy shit. Sirzechs is fucking maxed out on his Race's level! That is terrifying.
And they're suspicious of me? What the fuck?!...it's because of my fucking Sacred Gears, isn't it?
Uh-oh, this could be baaad~!
"Um, who are you?" I ask with feigned curiosity, remembering to play it dumb so that I don't give too much away about what I know. All the while trying to keep myself calm in the face of two people who severely out-level me. "Because you look an awful lot like Rias."
The small comment gets a laugh from the crimson-haired OP Devil King, who smiles warmly with a face that does look like Rias.

"Hahaha! I get that quite a lot actually, a result of inheriting our mother's looks but our father's hair." Sirzechs replies easily, giving away none of his suspicion towards me. The ease at which he hides it would have fooled me if it wasn't for [Observe].
Giving Rias a side-glance that she notices, she takes the opportunity to make introductions. "Sora, this is my older brother Sirzechs Lucifer. One of the four Satans in charge of Devil society, and the Head of Domestic Affairs."
Motioning to the green-haired man she adds, "And this is Ajuka Beelzebub; another Satan, and Head of our Technological Department…He's also the one who invented the Evil Pieces and Rating Games."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sora." Sirzechs sticks out his hand to shake, which I take with a moment's hesitation. "Thank you, for what you've done for my sister."
For a brief moment, his hand clamps down on mine like a vice as his blue eyes turn a terrifying crimson. The whites of his sclera bleed black as the power suddenly radiating off him smothers me in a crushing grip that takes the breath from my lungs. Everything around us darkens, creating the illusion that the rest of the world around us disappears into a black void as I stare into his eyes.
Seeing, for the briefest of moments, the monster beneath the man.
A true Devil, disguised with a handsome body and a friendly smile, that embodies the very concept of Destruction.
Suddenly, everything goes back to normal as soon as he lets go of my hand, as if nothing happened.
Glancing around at the others, no one seems to have noticed anything strange. For the briefest of moments, I think that I just imagined it all when I catch Sirzechs's eyes…and the knowing look he gives me. 'Fuck…'
That was scary!
'I one-hundred percent agree with you, Gaia.' And to think, the Dragon Gods of this world are 400 Levels above him!
Barely managing to push that horrifying thought to the side, I notice Ajuka stick his own hand out for a shake. Thankfully, there's no eldritch horror scene that plays out this time as we shake hands.
"An interesting match." Ajuka comments, his eyes staring into mine calculatingly. "A truly remarkable set of abilities you have…"
Oh yeah, they're definitely suspicious about my Sacred Gears.
Time to spew some bullshit at them and hope it sticks!
"Thanks," I smile easily, playing off the scrutiny like it doesn't bother me. "I originally just had Innovate Clear, but then I stumbled upon this weird light container thingy inside the abandoned church in Kuoh. Next thing I knew, I had a second Sacred Gear and could create Holy Swords with Blade Blacksmith."
Adding a shrug at the end, I internally sweat like crazy as I pray that they buy it.
Would it cause more questions? Undoubtably. But it's a lot better than having them think that I murdered someone and ripped their Sacred Gear from them.
As if answering my prayers, Rias takes the bait easily.
"You mean the abandoned church where the Fallen were staying at?" She asks with a mixture of curiously and surprise.
Nodding, I reply. "Yeah, after one of them tried to attack me and failed, I followed her back to the abandoned church. I don't know why they left soon after that, but I went in when they were gone and found it in one of the rooms."
"And you said it was some type of light container that gave you Blade Blacksmith?" Ajuka inquires, cupping a hand to his chin as he glances to Sirzechs.
"Yep," I confirm with no small amount of relief filling my body. "I accidentally crushed it, and then suddenly this light filled me. Next thing I know, a Holy Sword appears in my hand and I can instinctively create more of them."

Oh fuck off Kiba. No one cares about your stupid fixation right now.
"Interesting…" Ajuka's voice trails off, no longer paying attention to the conversation as his mind ponders the implications. Turning away from our group, he walks out of the Observation Room without another word.
"Don't mind Ajuka," Sirzechs's voice fills the silence following Ajuka's departure. "What you said probably has him curious about these light containers you mentioned. Don't take his leaving personally."
"Besides!" He claps his hands, beaming at me and Rias with a wide, handsome smile as he sees Grayfia enter quietly through the door Ajuka just left. "We have more important things to think about, like celebrating Rias's end to her engagement!"

- That Night -
What was originally supposed to be Rias's engagement celebration with Devils from all walks of Underworld society, became a more personal event with just Rias, Sona, their Peerages, and Rias's family to celebrate her freedom.
"Sora, I'd like to introduce you to my parents." Rias pulls me away from the group after having been stuck in conversation with Sona about my Sacred Gears for the last thirty minutes.
It's painfully obvious she wants to add me to her Peerage, but that's just never going to happen. I like Sona a lot less than I like Rias, and if I was willing to turn down Rias and Akeno's offer, then there's nothing she can offer me that'll get me to say yes.
That isn't to say I hate her or anything, she's just not interesting to me in any way. Even her Peerage is unremarkable; pretty, yes…but still unremarkable to me.
"Mother, Father…this is Sora Sakai, the Magician I was telling you about."

Rias's mother steps forward first to introduce herself, immediately gracing me with a beautiful smile.
"Hello Sora, it's nice to finally meet the man my daughter has been gushing about all this time." She teases, causing Rias to whine in embarrassment as her face turns pink. "My name is Venelana, I'm the Lady of House Gremory. But you can just call me Venelana, anyone willing to fight on my daughter's behalf is a friend of ours."
+22 Affection with Venelana Gremory… Affection: 31 | Obedience: 0
The playful wink she gives me is almost entirely to add on to Rias's embarrassment, and masterfully done too as Rias huffs; but there is a spark of interest in her violet gaze.
"The pleasure is all mine, Venelana." I smile charmingly, never one to turn down a little flirting with a hot Milf. "And if I may say so, you look less like Rias's mother and more like her sister. Now I know where she gets her breathtakingly good looks from."
Adding my own wink at the end, Venelana laughs cheerfully as Rias throws an aghast look my way. "Oh! And a charming young man at that! Rias, dear, you really must keep an eye on this one."
Seeing Rias try to stutter out a response, I take the opening to get a better look at Venelana.
And…wow! She really does looks less like Rias's mother, and more like her older sister. In fact, if Sirzechs was female, I'd image the two of them would look identical except for their hair and eye colors.
The white dress Venelana wears is practically painted on her full figure, with the material around her massive breasts straining to contain their gravity-defying size. They're actually almost too big for her size; any bigger and she'd look like a caricature. But her Devil body ensures that nothing about her is too obscene, placing her at just the right size to not make it less appealing on her.

Well damn. Mama Gremory is seriously strong too. Heh, I guess Sirzechs had to get it from someone.
Faux-glaring at her mother, Rias huffs as she motions to the man besides Venelana. "And this is my father."
Instead of a likewise warm greeting like that of what Venelana gave me, Zeoticus merely stares into my eyes for a moment before stretching out his hand reluctantly. "It's nice to meet you, Sakai… I am Zeoticus Gremory, Lord of House Gremory, and Rias's father."

No seriously. What did I do to piss him off this much?
Also, he's very weak compared to the other Gremory members besides Rias. Maybe it's some kind of inferiority complex?
"If you'll excuse me, I must speak with Sirzechs for a moment." Before anyone can even respond to his abrupt statement, Zeoticus is already turned away from us and walking over to the other side of the room where Sirzechs and Grayfia are.
All three of us watch him go with different expressions.
Whereas I'm stunned at what I did to anger him, Rias and Venelana obviously know something as they glance at each other with knowing looks.
"Don't mind him, dear." Venelana soothes my worries with a soft voice, her hand gently resting on my arm as her violet eyes following Zeoticus's back with a frown. "He just had high hopes for Rias's engagement to Riser…"
"Now then, you simply must tell me how you met my daughter! She sends so few letters home that I barely even know what she's up too." Using her gentle grip on my arm to pull me closer and mash her breasts against my side, Venelana smiles mischievously at a fuming Rias as she directs the conversation towards lighter topics. "And spare no details, dear. We can stay up all night if you like 'talking'."
"MOTHER!"
- Occult Research Clubhouse -
Hours after the celebration finally wound down and everyone began to leave, I join Rias and her Peerage as we teleport back to the ORC. I'm not sure how my [Summon: Teleportation Gate] works across dimensions, and I'm too tired to do any sort of tests like that right now.
"All right everyone, that's it for tonight." Rias calls out as soon as we appear inside the ORC office. "It's already gotten very late, so feel free to head home and we'll meet back again on Monday."
Recognizing a clear dismissal when she hears one, Koneko gives a small nod before quietly leaving the room without a sound. Kiba meanwhile, stares at me for several long moments with a glare.
"Kiba? I said it's late, you should head home now." Rias repeats herself, spotting the reason for why he stayed almost immediately. "I need to speak with Sora…privately."
The emphasis she puts on her statement forces his body to twitch, reflexively causing him to turn towards the door as he struggles to stop moving. Finally, with a glare from Rias as soon as he opens his mouth to speak, Kiba reluctantly turns away with a deep scowl. His footsteps more like stomps as he leaves.

That's going to go over so well later. Totally not going to have any repercussions, whatsoever. 'Yeah fucking right…'
Down to just myself, Rias, and Akeno, Rias turns to her Queen with a raised eyebrow. "Akeno…?"
Before either of us can respond, Akeno steps into my space, her breasts squishing against my chest as her hands come up to grab my cheeks. Suddenly, she pulls me down into a heated kiss.
"Mmph!" While I'm surprised at the sudden makeout session, my reflexes kick in as I kiss her back with just as much passion, her tongue forcing its way into my mouth and trying to dominate mine as they swirl about.
"Akeno!" Rias gasps in surprise.
+25 Affection with Akeno Himejima … Affection: 86 | Obedience: 0
When she finally breaks off the kiss, Akeno uses her teeth to bite and pull my lip before stares up at me with a flush face. "That was for saving Rias, Sora. I know you didn't have to involve yourself in our affairs, and it means a lot to me that you did."
Noticing Rias's red face out of the corner of her eye, she adds. "If you want, maybe we can get together some time and I can show just how grateful I am." While she says it in a teasing tone, there's no mistaking the look she gives me as she means every word she says. There's affection, desire, and even a bit of love staring back at me unflinchingly.
"W-What? Akeno!" Aghast at her Queen's blatant offer, Rias looks moments away from pulling us apart as Akeno laughs at her expression.
"Ufufufu! Maybe some other time then…" Having had her fun, Akeno steps back from me and towards the door. Throwing a quick wink flirtatiously over her shoulder as a hand comes up to touch her lips, her small pink tongue darting out to lick a finger salaciously. "See you soon~!"
The sound of her 'Ufufufu's' echo through the open door as she disappears down the steps, leaving me and a blushing Rias alone.
"That girl…" Rias sighs, the blush finally starting to recede from her cheeks as she turns to me. "But she's right. You didn't have to do it, and you fought Riser and his entire Peerage anyway…"
"And you did it for me." A step towards me brings us within arm's reach of each other.
In the dark room of the ORC, the only light that allows me to see comes from the lit candles spread throughout the room, bathing Rias in a soft orange glow that highlights the crimson color of her hair. The beautiful silky-smooth locks catching my attention as she plays with a few stands with her hand, as if to distract herself while she thinks about something.
Whatever it is, she quickly comes to a conclusion as her hands stop playing with her hair. "Sora…"
If the heated makeout session with Akeno didn't cause a stirring in my pants, then the way she whispers my name certainly does.
Slowly, Rias brings her arms up to wrap around my neck. Her sapphire-blue eyes darting between my lips and my eyes as her face moves ever so slowly closer.
As soon as I feel her lips ghost against my own, she pauses. Radiating nervousness.
"Are you sure about this?" I ask softly, wanting to give her a way out if she can't go through with it.
In spite of my offer, Rias takes a shallow breath as she stares up at me determined. With the softest of whispers she replies, "I've never been more sure about anything in my life." And suddenly her lips connect with mine.
The way she kisses me is almost entirely opposite of how it was with Akeno. Our kiss is passionate, yes; but it's also slow and gentle.
With Akeno it's a battle for dominance -not unlike kissing Juuichi, in fact- , with the two of us trying to dominate the other. Though unlike Juuichi, Akeno was a lot less experienced but made up for it with enthusiasm.
But with Rias, our kiss is like that of lovers.
"Mmmm…" Rias moans into my mouth as my hands come down to circle her waist, gently pulling her body against mine and pressing the bulge in my pants against the front of her school skirt. Her nipples, poking noticeably through her shirt and framed by her corset, drag against my chest as she rubs herself against me. Causing her to gasp into the kiss, "Ah! Sora…"
Before things can go too far, she reluctantly breaks the kiss, a string of saliva connecting our mouths that she licks off. The action surprising herself as she looks up at me with equal parts lust and love.
Up until now, it's a look I've only ever seen with Aika, and somewhat with Akeno.
And I'm really not sure what to do about it…
"Th-That was my first kiss." She reveals in a breathless voice. One of her hands leaving my neck to daintily touch her swollen lips as they spread into a happy little smile, her sapphire eyes practically shining like lights in the dark room as her eyes trace my face.
With a soft smile, I move one hand from her hips to run it gently through her hair, my touch causing her to sigh blissfully as her eyes flutter close.
"I'm honored." I whisper quietly, not wanting to break the moment's atmosphere as we stand in each other's arms.
A look of desire crosses her face as she opens her eyes again, before it falls with a depressed sigh as she catches the old-fashioned grandfather clock nearby. "It's late…"
"Yeah," I whisper, not moving an inch as we stare into each other's eyes, waiting to see who will move first.
The small crinkling of her eyes and little smile she gives tells me that she knows what I'm doing, and she does the same as we stand within each other's embrace. One of her hands around my neck as the other rests against my chest; while one of mine gently grips her hips as the other continues to fingers gently through her crimson locks.
Our quiet moment eventually ends as we let go of each other at the same time, placing a last lingering kiss on her lips, I give a wave as I step back, casting [Summon: Teleportation Gate] to take me home.
"Good night, Rias… Sweet dreams."
The last thing I see as I teleport away, is Rias standing in the dark interior of the ORC with a blushing smile on her face as she stares longingly back. "Good night, Sora…"
- Sakai Compound -
Teleporting into the courtyard of my compound, I sigh in exhaustion as a hand comes up to pinch the bridge of my nose in thought.
What the hell am I going to do about Rias? Sure, she's undeniably attractive, and the Affection score I have with her makes it worthwhile to continue this 'relationship' we have going on right now. But what about the future?
As she is, with her current personality I can't see myself thinking of her in terms of "main love-interest". Maybe in a few years when she's grown more mature, but not as she is right now.
I have a lot of plans for the future, not the least of which is becoming a Dragon God and gathering some form of harem -this is Highschool DxD after all- involving several of the more attractive girls. And considering how not helpful Rias was with Issei when he was getting a harem, including even cockblocking him at multiple times, I need someone more mature and understanding who can fulfill that role.
Honestly, if Venelana was single I'd go after her in a heartbeat. Because everything that I mentioned is exactly how that Milf is, even going as far as keeping track of Zeoticus's harem and making sure that everyone is happy.
At least, that's what she told me when we were speaking at the party. Her 'not so subtle' hint about teaching Rias how to be the same way in the future as blatant an attempt to push me towards her daughter as she could give without outright throwing us in a room together and locking the door.
Though, I did notice how she never mentioned herself when she spoke of Zeoticus and his harem. Perhaps there's a possibility there that may show itself in the future.
'Do I want a big-tittied, Satan Class Milf who knows how to manage a harem?'
OH, OH! I know this one!
…Of course, you do!
'Of course, I do!'
But that requires me to somehow deal with her marriage to the father of the girl who seems to be in love with me, yet he himself hates me for ruining said daughter's engagement.
"Oi Master! That fight with those Devils wasn't anywhere near as exciting as you said it'd be!" Juuichi's gruff voice calls out as soon as she sees me, interrupting my train of thought. "And here I got all excited for nothing."
You know what? I can let future me deal with those issues.
Because right now I've got a seriously painful case of blue-balls after several hours of Venelana's flirting, and kisses with Rias and Akeno. And look who just volunteered herself to help me deal with it?
"Juuichi."
"Yeah, Master?"
"Bedroom. Now."
"HAHA! Now that's more like it!"
- END -
Author Notes:
And that's Chapter 14!
As things stand right now with my plans for this story, I have someone else in mind to be the 'main girl' in Sora's harem.
However, Rias and Akeno will still be featured heavily throughout the story. And I have some interesting idea on making them much more likeable than they are in the anime, including giving them a much-needed powerboost in the future that'll ensure they don't hold Sora back.
Hope you all are still liking it so far! Thanks for checking out my story.
