-3rd POV-
Coming out of her stupor, Sakura blushes profusely as she finally managed to process, Otto's question.
'Lesbian...what does that have to do with any of this!' shouted Sakura inwardly.
Otto suddenly grabbed her by her shoulders and shook her "I know this might not seem important, Sakura, but the fate of the world depends on your answer!"
Otto's seriousness on this subject still confused her, but she could see how truly desperate, Otto was for her answer.
Burying her embarrassment deep within, she answered "No, I'm not attracted to girls" she answered.
Hearing her answer, the desperation in Otto's eyes disappeared completely, soon replaced by happiness "Thanks fucking God! The world will see another day, hallelujah!!!"
'The world?!' everyone tought with confusion and fear.
They didn't know why or how, Sakura's sexuality was connected with the end of the world, but they sure as hell were happy that it wasn't going to happen, well, according to Otto's words.
"Alrighty, moving on. I'm here for you and you" Otto's finger pointed towards both Kevin and Arthur. An evil grin plastered across his face.
Hearing this, cold sweat ran down both their backs, but nodded in understanding. They both knew that they were going to suffer somehow but it would benefit them in the end.
That's how things work with, Otto.
He's a villain, but a good villain?
-Otto POV-
Rita immediately warped us to a desolate space in a forest.
"Come out, Merlin" I ordered my servant as he was hidden in his spirit form. From the moment I had knocked on the door to the orphanage, Merlin had hidden himself until Otto ordered him to reveal his presence.
"Hello everybody~ I am the amazing Merlin!~" her sweet and melodious tone manifested behind me
...her?
Looking behind my shoulder, my lips twitched in annoyance as I looked at Merlin's new appearance,
ABSOLUTELY different from his male form.
Her cute and small face, flawless and white. Her crystal rose eyes beautifully matched with her charming smile. She also wore a set of white robes like in his male form, although it was...tight in some places.
She basically turned Into Lady Avalon.
[Pic]
"Merlin?!" Everyone repeated the mage's name in unison, surprise evident in their tones.
"Nope, wait" I stopped everything and everyone with my order.
Taking a deep sigh, I looked over to Merlin "Now, I will give you two seconds to explain why you turned yourself into a woman? If you don't give me a good enough answer-"
Merlin's smile didn't change despite my threats, in fact, it broadened. And that annoyed me to no end.
"Hmm~ well I noticed something while you were having your nervous breakdown, Master. And I found out that you seem to be nicer to beautiful girls, so I turned into this" Merlin huffed proudly and stuck her chest out, obviously hoping that I would be nicer to her.
She was absolutely wrong!
...well maybe I'll be a bit nicer.
No! Otto. There's no such thing as chicks with dicks, only dudes with titts!
Sigh~ sometimes I forget that Merlin is a succubus.
"Fufu don't worry, Master~ I'm completely woman right now~" as if reading my mind, Merlin reassured me that she didn't just change her appearance, but everything.
I snorted in annoyance, although it did make me feel a bit better. Never going to tell her that tho.
Looking over to the stunned group, I spoke "Sigh~ anyways. This is Merlin and she will be training Arthur and Kevin from now on"
A deadly silence followed after, I expected Arthur to scream like a fan girl, since, ya know, She's Merlin.
But I guess I was wrong.
"Um, Otto. Is she really...Merlin?" Arthur looked at her with a doubting expression.
I don't blame you, buddy, I absolutely don't.
"Sadly, yes she is. And despite her lack of IQ, she's the best teacher for magic and swordsmanship a person could have"
At my words, both Kevin and Arthur seemed to have eased up. Huh, I guess they really trust me that much.
Oh, there's one more thing.
"Arthur, show it to her" I ordered the blonde boy as he raised an eyebrow, but nodded.
Arthur reached down to the left side of his waist and grabbed the air.
Arthur's hand immediately yanked the blank space, pulling off the [Binding] chains that we're wrapped across and [Excalibur] and [Avalon], revealing their existence.
When I gave both of them to him, I gave him only one condition.
To seal it at all times unless he needs to use it.
The [Excalibur] of this world might not be as strong as the Fate-Verse version, but it's still pretty decent.
At full output, it's strength should be around the power of a C+ rank Noble Phantasm.
But that's not the reason why I told him to seal it's presence.
It's because of [Avalon].
If the Church found out about it, they would do ANYTHING! In their power to obtain it.
And I really don't feel like slaughtering a whole faction because of their greed and stupidity.
It's way easier to just conceal it unless it's use is needed.
"A-Avalon?!" Merlin seemed shocked. Not that I blame her as it shouldn't be here, no, it shouldn't even exist here.
Recovering from her initial shock, Merlin looked over to me, a slight smile dawned upon her face.
And that smile, it sent shivers down my spine.
-3rd POV-
Leaving the boys to Merlin, Otto immediately returned home to finish his projects.
"Master..." Rita suddenly spoke.
"Yes, Rita?" Otto asked as he sat on his office chair.
"That woman...what is she to you?" Rita asked, taking Otto by surprise.
Otto could only call, Kallen a bane of existence. Not because he hates her or becuase she was evil, but becuase he was weak in her presence.
It was as if all those layers he put up instantly evaporated into nothing when she was in the room.
What was she to him?
She was-
"Someone...important" Otto answered, the answer was true but extremely simplified.
-Rita POV-
"Someone important" was, Master's response.
Calling someone "important" could have meant many things, but I know what he meant.
The moment he saw that woman. Every facade, every wall, every mask that he puts up falls like a building being torn down by a wrecking ball.
She's more than important, at least more than master leads.
I'll need to keep tabs on her, for master's sake.
That woman, she's Dangerous
-Otto POV-
"For today's English class, use the clay that was passed out to make whatever you want" The teacher instructed.
Rows of parents and guardians watched as their kids molded the clay with their hands.
UGH! I completely forgot about today's open house. I was prepared to meet the Gremorys during the Tri-Faction peace talks but not now!
I even had a small evil speech prepared.
Besides Sirzechs, Rita's father, Zeoticus is also coming.
Sirzechs is easy to deal with because he's a siscon, but mostly because he'd do anything to make his little sister happy.
Do you really think, Sirzechs would let his precious little sister date an absolute pervert?
No!
but that's what made, Rias happy so he let he be with Issei in cannon DXD.
He's predictable as long as I have Rita on my side. She's the psychological knife that I have pointed at his neck.
But Zeoticus, he's different. He's the one who arranged the marriage between Rias and Riser. And when Rias said she didn't want to marry him, Zeoticus didn't do jack shit to help break off the engagement.
He is indifferent to his family, anything goes along as it betters the image and reputation of the Gremory family.
And besides a few small appearances in the DXD anime, the series didn't show any more information on him.
The only weakness that I can think of is the Gremory household as a whole. But I can't do shit to them since I'm friends with Rias, thus I have no hold over Zeoticus as I do with Sirzechs.
Tch!
If he really wants Rita, I'll end up having to kill him in secret. And if that somehow fails and I have to take things further...l'll have to destroy the Gremory, breaking my friendship with Rias to save Rita.
I'm sure Rias and Rita wouldn't mind the first option, but Sirzechs will. In the end, he's the Satan and he can't let one of the devil faction nobles be killed off like a dog.
"Wow, Issei! I didn't know, Rias's tits looked like this!" Motoyoma shouted shamelessly as he looked at the sculpture of naked Rias that Issei had made.
huh, it actually looks good.
