Chapter 60: Invitation? Or a Trap?
—
I was pondering over the politics of the multiverse, staring up at the sky and chewing on some sakura petals that happened to hang too close to my mouth. When I sensed two little devils running this way, my [Jade Perception] let me know it was Rias and someone else without even turning my head.
I let out a sigh. I was looking forward to watching the cloud for a bit more, oh well.
"Hey, Aqua~" Rias came waving her hand toward me.
I turned to face her, and unlike usual I didn't find myself forcing myself to look surprised. I also saw the person she was with—Akeno Himejima, the Queen of her Peerage. I knew it was her when I sensed a combustion of holy and dark affinity earlier.
Akeno Himejima was a vision of sultry elegance. Her long, flowing, raven-black hair framed a face of enchanting allure, while her purple eyes possessed a captivating mystique. Her curves were irresistible, showcased by her school uniform that had a capelet with it, especially her ample bust.
Her graceful figure and poised demeanor exude a magnetic charm, exuding the air of a seductive beauty that ensnared all who were fortunate enough to witness her, a bewitching enchantress who commanded attention and ignited desires with every entrancing glance and curvy movement.

"Hey, it's been a while," After inspecting the new girl with a single glance, I greeted Rias back. "You look worried and hungry. There are bags under your eyes."
Rias looked surprised at my evaluation and smiled awkwardly. "Well, some things happened… and are happening. I'm kind of under pressure right now, so I don't have much appetite to eat. And too worried to sleep. Ahem, never mind that," she bowed. "I am sorry, I heard from my aunt that you got into trouble in Fuji with devils! As a devil myself, I am extremely embarrassed that you had to go through this."
"Oh, she told you?" I hummed and stroked my chin. After thinking for a bit, I suddenly realized she was still bowing, I didn't notice since I was too used to people bowing. "It's okay, raise your head. It's lovely of you that you are apologizing for the Japanese way, but no need for you to apologize."
"Besides," I continued with a smile when she stood straight, still stroking my chin as my eyes went over her figure. "If you ever did something apology-worthy, I don't think a simple bow would solve it."
"..."
"..."
The two girls went silent before Rias let out an awkward chuckle and looked away, blushing just a little. Her Queen, however, thought it wise to glare at me.
"Shameless, do you have any idea what she is going through? You should be mindful of your jokes." She said with a frown. Odd for her to say that, as a flirt herself.
"Oh my," I let out a fake gasp, and I made it clear that it was fake. "Rias, what's going on? Don't tell me that you're getting married to some weirdo guy and that's what got you pressed like this?"
Rias looked surprised. "Dumb luck, you're right. I know it's insane, but it is a weirdo guy. It's a douche, blonde-haired blue-eyed guy who sleeps around with girls."
"Oh, erm…"
"It's not you, we are engaged and soon to be… married." She thought it was important to correct it. "It's the third son of the exact Phenex Family with whom you fought."
"I see," I nodded. "Congratulations on your marriage, sounds fun. Anyway, do you need anything from me? You're interrupting me if you didn't notice."
Akeno frowned deeper. "Interrupting you? From what, cloud watching?"
"Bingo."
Akeno stared at me while Rias laughed, and then looked at me with exaggerated hurt eyes. "How harsh, Aqua. Even though we go way back, can't I occupy a bit of your time?"
"I think you have your husband for that," I said, finding her beginning to laugh which made me laugh too. I'm glad she can take a joke, unlike her Queen who was frowning.
I guess I left a bad impression on Akeno, she's not usually like this from what I recall. She must have seen through my uncaring flirting that barely held any romantic emotion for her King, so maybe that's why she didn't like me. Not that I cared.
I patted the side of my bench, "Fine, take a seat. I can't let my devil princess spend her sweet 18s worrying about marriage."
"Nah, I can't sit so close to another man," she said. "Won't that be cheating my fiancé? Too bad, I'll keep standing then."
"Too bad, I can't let that happen," I reached out my hands and held her waist, yanking her down and forcing her to sit on my lap. She looked surprised as she looked into my eyes, before showing an easy smile and a blush. "You should sit around more; it must be hard to carry around all that… weight."
"Did you just call me fat?"
"I meant the depths of your eyes, it looks heavy. Ease up a little." I tucked a strand of her behind her ear, watching her blush grow. "Now quit beating around the bush, it seems you came to ask something, what is it?"
"...." Beside us, Akeno stood with a dumb look on her face. Had she never seen her King be like this with a guy before? It must be surprising since the same girl hated the idea of marriage so much, with a guy who – from a distance – was similar to Riser in both looks and behavior.
"Well," Rias looked a little hesitant. She sighed. "I don't know how to say this but… Basically, we devils have this tradition of challenging other devils in a group battle. They are called Rating Games. We usually bet something on it. I challenged Riser on a Rating Game recently, and if I win I won't have to marry him. And I wanted to invite you. Would you like to come and watch?"
I raised an eyebrow. I was expecting her to invite me to her peerage, though that'd be impossible even if I had the naive and nice heart to help her like that. Due to the difference in power level, her Evil Piece won't be able to insubordinate me. But she was inviting me to watch her rating game?
"So you want me to come see you getting clapped?" I said. "Wait, that sounds wrong."
"..." Rias gave me a blank stare before she sighed. "So you also think I'll lose?"
"Well," I shrugged. "I don't know much about the supernatural world, but from what I heard your family's Power of Destruction can destroy matter with ease. However, I have fought the Phenex Devils. I don't know how much your aunt told you, but I have fought them quite a bit. Their immortality, the power of regeneration, is exceptional. I don't think you can win with it, even if it's an apparent trash you're against."
"..." She fell silent.
"So I am asking why are you inviting your friend to watch you get beat up and married off?" I asked, tilting my head and looking into her eyes. "Your aunt's idea? Are they preparing a trap?"
Rias' eyes widened and she went flustered. "I- I am sorry, yes it's my aunt's idea, but I don't think it's a trap! She explicitly told me that— if you ask me if it's a trap or not, I can reassure you that it's not. The Satans apparently met with Gods, and they came to an agreement that they would not hurt you. I would never invite you into a trap, Aqua, you don't know how much you mean to me…"
That was a sudden confession that I didn't need to hear. She's cute.
"Yeah?" I found my fingers running down the delicate curves on her back, reaching further down to grope her thick ass. My sudden bold actions caused her eyes to widen in surprise, and her lips, as soft as the cherry blossom petals, quivered in pleasure.
"Y-yes…?" She replied in uncertainty, and I took the gap in her lips as the entrance of my tongue as I leaned over and kissed her.
Her Queen who stood right there, almost moved to get a stupid beat down, until Rias put her hands behind my neck and pulled me into the kiss. Her hands held me wrapped around, while my hands squeezed her soft butt and made it tremble over my hips.
The warm sun beamed down on us as she straddled my lap, her soft skin brushing against mine. Her scent was intoxicating, a mix of flowers and sweet perfume that filled my nostrils with each breath I took.
"Mmmmng~"
She tasted like strawberries, her lips succulent and juicy as they pressed against mine. Our hips ground together in a rhythmic motion, the sound of our kisses echoing through the area. My hands roamed over her body, tracing patterns on her skin that left her shivering with anticipation. I could feel her nipples harden against my chest, and I knew she was getting very turned on.
We continued to explore each other's bodies, and a gentle breeze blew through the trees, rustling the sakura leaves and sending them tumbling to the ground like confetti. I couldn't help but feel relaxed at this moment, thanks to the moaning girl in my lap, and the passion that burned between us.
I am usually a lot more controlled in things like this, but uh, getting annoyed wasn't the only thing Venerable One was quick at – I only got seduced quickly when I saw it safe. It was hard to control when I could tell that she wanted me, it was quite obvious that she was seducing me. She pulled something similar to Issei in the original timeline, where she told him to take her virginity in the hope of canceling the marriage. Was she trying that with me too?
I canceled the kiss for a moment to let her breathe, and she used that moment to stare at me with glossy eyes. "Shit, that was my first kiss…" she replied. "I loved it." Then she leaned in and kissed me herself.
That all but confirmed my suspicion. We did have an odd chemistry between us, but it wasn't enough for her to act like this on the school grounds, while her best friend was standing right there no less.
Akeno stood on the side, dumbfounded, and even I would have known little of why this devil girl was so interested in me if not for my canon knowledge. But hey, whatever she was trying, it was working. A free kiss was a free kiss. She tasted delicious.
She canceled the kiss again, and I found her looking down between her legs where she could feel my boner poking her.
She looked up, "Wanna… go to my place?"
"President!"
"Ahem, Rias…"
At the same time, two voices reprimanded the horny princess. One was Akeno, and the other was a woman who popped out of thin air. Teleportation.
Rias froze, while I turned to look at the gray-haired maid. "Good morning," I said.
"...Good morning," the woman looked at me and then at the frozen Rias who was still sitting on my lap and salivating from her lips. "I am Grayfia, maid and wife of the Satan Lucifer. Rias' Sister-in-law. Can you put her down?"
"Should I?" I looked at Rias. "Do you want me to put you down? Don't listen to her if you don't want to."
"Uh, thanks, but yes, I'll get off." She said with a scared gulp and stood up, leaving me disappointed in a boner. I felt the other two ladies blink as they saw the poke from which Rias got up, before quickly looking away.
"Uh… hey Grayfia," Rias said, rubbing the back of her head and not meeting Grayfia's eyes.
Grayfia sighed, yanking Rias by her wrist and pulling her away. "Come on, we need to talk about your… indulgences. You are doing these things when marriage is in a week?"
"H-hey, be gentle with her!" Akeno ran after the two.
"Hey Rias," I yelled from behind as they left. "Don't forget to pick me up, I'll go and attend that Game of yours."
Both Rias and Grayfia turned to me, Rias looked bright while Grayfia frowned. Then they continued their venture, before taking a turn behind a building and teleporting away.
