Chapter 17 - Awkward

When Alex woke the next morning, Rias was still on top of him, and a beautiful silver haired woman was staring down at them. Grayfia seemed to be glaring at the "indecency" of the two, and Alex started shaking Rias gently to wake her.

"Rias, I think we have some company." At first she didn't react, but when his words seemed to register, her eyes shot open and she turned to see Grayfia. Rias then quickly tried to get up off of Alex, but the situation was made even more awkward due to the fact that he was still inside of her. She quickly summoned a blanket to cover herself with, turning just as red as her hair all the while. Considering the two even took baths together, Alex assumed the embarrassment was from the obvious evidence of their activities the night before.

"Next time you decide to engage in acts of exhibitionism, please remember to at least put barriers up so that others won't happen upon the heiress of the Gremory family in such a state." Rias's face was coming worse with each word Grayfia said. Alex didn't know wether to laugh or cry, and just hoped she wouldn't notice him, but of course things didn't go his way.

"And you, the master of the Gremory house has decided to allow you continue your relationship with Rias, but do not go thinking stunts like last night are acceptable. It is especially bad that you brought her to a place like this for a first time. Plus there is the fact that you did indeed kill a high class devil of the Pheonix family, and opened up the possibility of future conflicts with them. Thanks to you pointing out that Raiser tried to kill Rias we avoided the worst case, but they are still against you." She reported what Alex expected more or less. Though as she said there are unavoidable details regarding Raiser, plus Alex knew about the upcoming conflicts in the very near future, so he wasn't too worried.

"The master and lord Sirzechs are taking care of the aftermath, so the two of you are free to return to the human world, but you will need to answer for your actions in the near future." Saying her piece, Grayfia then left by magic circle, leaving the two alone once more. The situation turned awkward even when it was just the two of them due to Grayfia's words. Rias summoned clothes for the two of them, and after they dressed Alex decided to talk about a few things with her.

"The things I told you last night, I can't repeat them to anyone else unless they also become members of my peerage. I already promised Kiba that I'll explain things later, so I need to coordinate a story with you before we go back." Rias only nodded at his words, as the trauma from Grayfia was still extremely fresh. After they decided on a cover story, Alex then wanted to try something.

"Rias, try to think of a screen in front of you that displays various bits of information, or think mentally "status"." She did as he asked, and to both of their surprise, a screen popped up in front of her that they were both able to see.

Rias was confused on what all this was so also had to explain it to her. He was also asking Lauren about it,

'As she is your servant now, she has access to parts of your system such as the job function. Each servant you acquire will have the same privileges, and will be able to grow alongside you in the way of their choosing.' When he heard her words, he became excited as it essentially meant that all the girls that follow him will have unlimited growth as long as their jobs continue leveling.

Alex looked at her jobs and skills again and wasn't really surprised, even with her command loyalty skill. He recalled that none of her servants had ever dared go against her, unless there were bigger things going on like Kiba's agenda in the third volume. He finished his explanation to her about the various benefits of the jobs, and pushed her to choose one to test it out.

"Um ok, I'll go with destruction Mage."

[NOTICE, magic power increased, skill destruction magic has increased and evolved into superior destruction magic]

"Try it out." Alex said who had heard the notice since she was connected to his system. A moment later Rias blasted out destruction magic on a level she had never done before. A entire section of the forest disappeared, and she was left standing there gawking at the amount of destruction she had caused. She only smiled bitterly though, because of course she only got this power after her rating game with Raiser.

After trying out her new powers, the two used a magic circle to return to the human world. They jumped a little ways away from the ORC room, and walked the rest of the way back talking about various things. One thing rias brought up was living together. Alex suddenly found it awkward, due to the fact that he recalled the entire female cast moving into issei's house soon after this point. Rias laughed at his face and said,

"If you want, you can move into the female dorm my family arranged for my peerage members. There's only Akeno, Koneko, myself and recently Asia living there." Alex agreed without trying to sound too eager, as it would also help him add them to his harem eventually, but he didn't want to use his evil pieces on them and use them all up in this world.
