It had been a few days since the forming of the dxd, and Alex was starting to lose it. He was becoming mentally drained due to the constant waiting for when Rizevim would strike again, and almost wanted them to do something just to get it over with. Though he wasn't losing focus with his training, it was getting more noticeable to the girls that the waiting was starting to get to him, so they decided to take matters into their own hands. They decided that spending a day just relaxing with one or two of them was just what he needed, the question was who would be the lucky girl?
Rias had decided that it should be someone who hasn't spent much time with him yet, and immediately eliminated herself and the majority of the dorm inhabitants. That left Ravel and Koneko, Gabriel, Irina, Yasaka, or Sona and Serafall.
Yasaka had an interview with some youkai for immigration, so she was sadly eliminated, Irina said she would give up her chance so she was likewise eliminated. Ravel and Koneko would've gone, but Kuroka was being a spartan trainer to Koneko, since they learned that their sealing technique was needed to fight the resurrection of the holy grail. As for Gabriel, she was currently prohibited from meeting Alex outside of Asora besides for emergencies, due to the fact that last time she did she nearly fell instantly. That left the Sona and Serafall pair. However to avoid the awkwardness of escorting both of the sisters at once, Serafall would have him for the morning, and Sona for the afternoon.
"Yay! Onwards to our date!💕" Serafall declared as she marched him out the door of the dorm. Alex was smiling wryly as he didn't expect them to do this, and to start with Serafall of all people. She walked him down the street, arm wrapped around his, humming to herself. He asked her,
"So where do you want to go? I don't really have anything in mind since I wasn't expecting this." She shook her head cutely however, and said,
"I already planned it, so don't worry about a thing!💕" Alex smiled bitterly and asked,
"Isn't the guy supposed to be the one who escorts the lady during dates?" She shook her head cutely again and said,
"That would defeat the purpose of having you relax for the day. I already planned it out, first the movies!💕" She then dragged him to see the new magical girl milky movie, which he wouldn't have minded if it wasn't full of children, and he was likely the oldest on watching it(besides Serafall, but he didn't need to think too hard to know not to say it).
Instead of focusing on the movie however, he watched how Serafall reacted to it. Each of her reactions to every scene when milky saved the day, or when she was in trouble were quite cute. He had to say though, her best reaction was when he wrapped his arm around her. He didn't try any pervy stuff, but was just holding her closely. She didn't seem to mind, which was quite the difference from when they first met, and actually snuggled up closer to him. After the movie, Serafall was talking about it excitedly while they were walking down the street, going to get some lunch.
"-and the scene when milky used her powers to save the day! Oh, I thought she looked so cool!💕" Alex started laughing quietly at her antics, not minding the passerby's giving both of them weird looks, especially since she was in her magical girl getup(it was as if she didn't even register that it was December). While talking she eventually led him to a burger place, and the two sat down for lunch. As they started eating she suddenly looked a little more serious, and said to him,
"I was thinking of changing my name back to Sitri after permanently moving to Asora." Alex froze slightly mid bite, before asking,
"How come, don't you like being leviathan?" She sighed and said,
"It's not that, but by going into Asora permanently and leaving the world, I'll be giving up my title of Maou anyways. I just thought that rather than being the Maou leviathan, I would like to be the older sister more since I'll be able to." Alex looked at her in surprise, before she continued,
"Ive also put her through too much, the burdens of growing up to take over the house should have been mine, but I left it all to her so I could take the position of Maou. That's part of why I dote on her all the time, and why I always cause trouble for her, because I want more fun in her life since she's always serious." Alex smiled when he heard her words, as he could see that even if Sona always ends up embarrassed by her sisters actions, she would probably be the most devastated if she changed. He took her hand, and said,
"Don't worry we have many more years to make her happy, but don't forget, I'm also going to do the same for you Serafall Sitri." When she heard him use her family's name, she showed a radiant smile and leaned over to kiss him. The two didn't separate for several minutes, before they finally remembered they were in the middle of a diner. When Alex looked around he saw several people turn away, obviously admiring the young couple. After they finished eating, they started walking until they reached a park, and walked until they reached a fountain. Serafall then turned towards him, back in Levia-tan mode,
"It's almost time for son-tans date now, you treat her right you hear! When you're done take her right here as well, I'll be waiting." Alex raised a brow, but before he could ask what she meant, Serafall disappeared in the mist of Asora. He smiled again, and turned to go meet Sona.
When he saw her at the meeting area he stalled for a moment, she was dressed in a pink coat with floral patterns on it, and had a light blush on her face as she waited for him. He felt bad for making her wait, and walked over to her.
"Hey, sorry about the wait." She smiled when he called out to her, and said,
"You were with big sister, so don't worry about it. Let's go then shall we?" Alex didn't say anything, and just linked their arms while she started leading the way to her destination. As they walked Alex asked,
"So how is the school going? You're making one before moving to Asora right?" She suddenly sighed and replied,
"I gave up on the underworld school, until we return from the other worlds at least. Even if I did establish it, we would leave right after, and it would be left to the mercy of those who don't want it in the first place. My hope off that by the time we can return, they'll be more open minded." Alex had a bitter feeling, as he didn't want the political topics to be brought up. It seemed as if Sona realized as well, and quickly tried to change the subject. The talk turned to plans after graduating in the spring.
Sona told him about how she intended to still attend the college until they left. Alex didn't intend to go to college though, as he already did in his previous life. He intended to spend his remaining time after graduating preparing, and depending on how things go, participating in the Azazel cup tournament. He didn't mention this though, as he had to leave some surprises. As they were talking they reached their destination, and Alex saw it was an indoor aquarium. He was surprised, until he recalled the Sitri specialty was water.
Together the two walked around, admiring the many types of fish and marine life they had. As they were leaving a while later, he saw a gift shop and quickly ran inside after saying he'll be right back. When Alex came back out, he saw a couple guys surrounding Sona. His brow twitched as he wondered if this was some kind of template, before recalling he was inside an anime world. He walked over right when one of the guys reached out to Sona, who had kept a straight face the entire time of course, and grabbed their arm. The guy turned to glare at him, and Alex said,
"That's my woman you're harassing, I'd appreciate it if you left us alone. If not, then I'll have to get a little impolite." The guy was about to say something, before he felt his arm getting squeezed tighter, and tighter. Alex barely used any of his strength, just enough to intimidate the guy. He turned to his friends, with some sweat running down his brow,
"Let's go, it's not worth our time here." And they took off. He then turned to Sona, who was smiling at his actions, and how he referred to her as his woman. Alex held out what he got her, and her smiled got even wider. It was a simple cell phone strap, but he figured it was a nice little reminder of their first actual date.
"Thank you." She said simply, as she put it on her phone. Alex smiled at her acceptance of his gift. He didn't focus on anything too eye catching, as if either Sona or Rias for that matter cared then they wouldn't have canceled their engagements to high class nobles. The two continued walking around a while, before going to dinner.
Sona led him to a nice, yet simple restaurant, where the two had some pasta. She turned Crimson when Alex tried to imitate the move from the lady and tramp, but went through with it anyways, earning even more looks than he did earlier with Serafall. After their dinner, he then took the lead, as they walked around in the rapidly cooling evening. He led her to the spot that Serafall indicated, but didn't say anything about it. Once they reached it, he suddenly pulled her into his arms, and looked her in the eyes.
"I know I may not be the best at times, but I swear I'll make you as happy as possible. I'd say the happiest in the world, but there's a few girls might not like that." She smiled at his joke, and said,
"I'd love that, thank you." And she leaned forward for the kiss this time, as the two closed their eyes and thei lips met for the next several minutes. They were so absorbed in the kiss that they didn't notice the mist swirling around them, before opening their eyes and finding themselves inch at seemed to be a grand entrance hall. Standing nearby was Serafall in her magical girl outfit, and a mischievous/lewd grin on her face.
