"It's kind of helpful to have two boys here now, sometimes there are contracts we girls can't do. "
The teenager raised an eyebrow, he was beginning to feel curious to what she was referring to now. "Such as?"
"Such as this moment. " She stood up and gave Shinji a flier with the Gremory crest on it.
"You might know by now that Kiba-kun is quite famous around the female population here in school. "
As the blonde teen coughed on his hand by the mention of his name, Shinji just sweatdropped, every male in school, especially Issei and his gang, know and envy the attention Kiba gathers when it comes to the opposite gender.
"Well, he is also getting attention from a majority of our female clients. " Rias continued before the teenager could interrupt her.
"You see Shinji, Kiba here has now a contract with one of our bigger clients, but he also has one pending that needs to be taken care of. "
The black haired teen sighed, he already knew where this was going. "You want me to take care of the other one, right?"
"I'm glad you caught on fast. " The red haired girl simply responded as she returned to her desk, sitting on it.
"You see Shinji, this client wants to have a date. Since Kiba-kun was the only male around he was the one attending to this kind of thing, now however we also have you to join in.
"
"Wha-wait, hold on a minute. " Shinji coughed in his hand a light blush present in his face.
"You can't just tell me to go on a date out of the blue like that!"
"Hmm?" Rias tilted her head confused. "I don't understand what's the problem with it, it's just a date.
" As an awkward silence was her response, a devilish smile made an appearance on her face. "Ohh~ don't tell me you've never been on a date, Shinji-kun.
"
He crossed his arms, a loud 'humph! was heard as his face got redder. "So what about it?"
The teenage girl giggled at his reaction, which made him blush harder in response "Not at all, I never had a date either to be honest. "
"The guy from Kyoto thinks otherwise, Buchou. " A smiling Akeno commented while she drank from her cup, a smile clear on her face.
"Th-That was because of a contract and the guy crying on his knees asking for it, he even wrote a letter!" She closed her arms and turned her face, her eyes clearly neglecting that moment, "It was a contract, doesn't count as a date. "
"Is it now?" The raven haired girl giggled to herself, which made her red haired companion blush and turn away. "Ara ara, I must have touched a sensitive spot in our Bouchou.
"
"Anyway! You have to pick her up and go where she wants. " Rias changed the subject to continue explaining Shinji his mission, Akeno kept the fun to herself and decided to call it quits on the teasing of her friend.
As his mind prepared itself for probably the most bizarre contract he ever had, he kept looking at Koneko. Ever since day one he was intrigued at the behavior of the petite girl, she was always to herself, having a poker face and only speaking when asking something.
He was going to investigate further, that meant asking Kiba of course.
"-Now Shinji, I need you to step in the circle now. " Rias told him as he got out of his trance.
As he looked to where the girl was pointing he saw Akeno in the middle of a red circle covering half the room floor.
How the hell did he miss that? It was shining like the Sun! He really needs to pay more attention instead of thinking nonsense.
"Uhh, sure. " He shrugged as he stood up, walking where the red haired girl was pointing to.
"Do I need to say something?".
"None at all, Akeno is inserting your carved seal into the circle. Just stand still and let her do the job.
" She simply responded.
"Ok, I can do that. "
And so he waited.
And waited.
. .
and waited.
. .
. and waited.
This was taking longer than expected, was this supposed to happen? He turned to face Akeno and he saw her chanting some words with her hands spread onto the circle on the floor, it was responding to it by glowing brighter with each sentence.
As the time passed by he just got bored of it. 'I rather stick with the bike, at least it is more productive than this.
' He thought as he sighed from boredom. 'After this I need to go to Hagiwara's, even though I don't have work today I want to train.
There's this combo I've seen in an anime that I want to check out, maybe if I show it to him he can teach me. Ohhh that would be so cool to happen!'
"Shinji-kun. " Rias interrupted his thoughts as she extended her hand.
"I need your hand now. "
Doubtful at first, he did as told and extended his own arm to hers. As she grabbed him she started to write symbols in his palm, a red light emitting from her drawing.
"Uhh, is this supposed to happen?" He curiously asked.
"Yes, it means the seal is responding to you. " The red haired girl simply said.
'I don't know how a seal can respond to me, but sure, if she says so. .
' He shrugged it off. After all the nonsense he witnessed this week nothing seems to shock him.
As Rias stopped writing his hand the light of the seal became brighter, a small burning sensation forming where the girl wrote a diagram equal to the one that appears on the crest on the floor. It was only for a brief moment although as the light of the seal slowly faded an his hand's crest changed to a reddish color.
The pattern was clearly visible, every detail of the seal was plastered in his right hand. "Woah, you can draw for sure Rias-san.
