Chereads / Multiverse: Journey of Kurumi / Chapter 7 - [6] Talk and Familiar Face?

Chapter 7 - [6] Talk and Familiar Face?

I don't know if I shared the power system, so here is it. 

Every class has 4 tiers but after Ultimate Class this changes. 

Low-Tier

Medium-Tier

High-Tier

Ultimate-Tier

After Ultimate Class everyone enters the 'concepts'. When someone enters the concept that concept reconstructs their body. For example; If you comprehend the time concept when you are Ultimate Class, then your body will reconstructed to handle time and things that are related to it. And you get certain resistance when your body is made by the concept. This resistance increases as you comprehend more of the concept, but It's never become %100 until you surpass the law itself.

This much is currently enough I think. When Kurumi becomes Ultimate-Tier Ultimate-Class I will explain further, If you have any questions feel free to comment about it. I will try my best while answering it without giving more spoilers.

Except for explaining about the Occult Research Club (which could be wrong), Akeno didn't say anything, and Kurumi didn't bother her. The walk was silent as everyone had already left the school to go home.

After a while, they arrived at the main door of the ORC. Akeno opened the door and gestured towards the inside, looking at Kurumi, signaling for her to enter. Kurumi sensed this and walked inside without breaking her pose, with Akeno following closely behind and closing the door.

After locking the door, Akeno once again took the lead and walked towards where their president was waiting for them.

The inside of the ORC was not as simple as the outside. It was adorned with fake skulls of animals and humans, attempting to create a creepy atmosphere. But from Kurumi's expression, anyone could tell that they had failed miserably.

Akeno, however, didn't seem surprised by Kurumi's reaction. She was convinced that no one could break this girl's facade. While thinking about this, Akeno didn't realize that they had already arrived at the doors of the President's room. Feeling Kurumi's gaze, she snapped back to her senses.

Once she had fully regained her composure, Akeno knocked gently on the door and waited patiently for a response, while Kurumi observed the door with curiosity.

"Come in," a sweet voice echoed from behind the door, granting permission for Akeno to open it. She quickly did so and gestured for Kurumi to enter the room, intending to be a good host to her, as she was someone her president had taken an interest in. It was her duty as the 'queen' of her president.

Kurumi's eyes lit up as she finally set foot in the room, quickly scanning its contents. She noted every item and person present, each detail imprinting itself in her memory. Useless details were relegated to the depths of her mind, while important ones shone brightly, destined to be remembered.

Though Kurumi's observation lasted only a few seconds, she had already discerned everything special and ordinary about the room. The people in the room didn't even catch her slightest attention, a clear display of her skills and experience of 10,000 years.

After finishing her scan, Kurumi's gaze settled on the main reason she was here in the first place.

The girl sat at the center of the room, attempting to exude authority with her hands interlocked on the table. However, her body and face betrayed her efforts, revealing more about her true nature. With her red crimson hair and blue eyes, she was undeniably beautiful, possibly having very few rivals, Akeno being one example. But what caught Kurumi's attention the most were her voluptuous breasts. They were ridiculously large, so much so that Kurumi couldn't imagine herself having them.

(As far I know Rias's eyes in the novel are blue instead of greenish blue like in the anime. Anyway, here is the photo of her.[Normally was going to use those photos on a different fan-fic.] She WILL NOT be in the harem btw. There is enough fan-fic where Rias is in the harem.)

As someone who loved battles and prioritized speed, Kurumi knew that breasts that big would only hinder her power and prowess. Even the thought of it made her slightly disgusted.

Rias also sensed the strange gaze Kurumi gave her, which lasted only a few seconds. But it was enough to pique Rias's curiosity about what Kurumi might have been thinking at that moment.

"Hello, Kurumi-San. I can call you Kurumi right? is it okay?" Rias took the lead in the conversation, but she did not expect what Kurumi was going to say at that moment.

"No. Please call me Tokisaki. I don't even know you in the first place," Kurumi replied, her tone still sweet and mischievous, with a small smile on her face. But Rias felt differently; she sensed that Kurumi was mocking her. Yes, her tone was sweet and mischievous, but for Rias, it felt like a demon's whisper.

After hearing Kurumi's reply, Akeno and the others in the room looked at her with various emotions. Shock registered on the face of a man with blonde hair and blue eyes, who was also devilishly handsome. His name was Yuuto Kiba, the 'knight' of Rias's peerage. Surprise showed on Akeno's face; when she asked Kurumi to call her by her first name, Kurumi happily accepted. But now, she denied Rias's request to use her first name. Akeno became curious why Kurumi accepted her request but not Rias's.

Lastly, indifference emanated from a petite girl. Her face remained flat and expressionless, as if she didn't care about anything. But what caught Kurumi's attention more was how she devoured the cookies on the table. She seemed like a little glutton, consuming every sweet with a flat face. She had short white hair that didn't exceed her neck and golden eyes akin to gold, although they lacked any shine. Her name was Koneko Toujou, the 'rook' of Rias's peerage.

'Ara~? What an interesting person... I didn't expect to see Kuroka's sister here,' Kurumi mused inwardly. She was really surprised when she saw Koneko's stats. Kuroka had explained her sister's situation to Kurumi yesterday in bed. At first, Kurumi didn't think much about it and shrugged it off. But now, seeing the same sister Kuroka had explained, Kurumi couldn't help but want to claim her like she did with Kuroka. However, she also knew that she couldn't act carelessly. From the memories she got from the system, she knew who Rias's brother was, and Kurumi currently couldn't even point him out.

Kurumi lastly gave a second glance at Koneko's status and started to think about how much this girl have wasted potential, but her chains of thoughts broke by Rias's bitter and helpless tone.

[Status]

[Name: Koneko Toujou - (Real Name: Shrione)]

[Status End]

"Uhh... Okay... Then do you know why I called you here, Tokisaki-San?" Rias said with a wry smile, slightly hurt by Kurumi's remark.

"No...? You called me here to tell me, right? How can I know if you don't tell me," Kurumi replied with a slightly amused tone. Is this girl's IQ reduced because she used all of her points on those ridiculously big weapons? Kurumi truly wondered about it. Rias didn't even introduce herself properly and called her here like the boss of the school. Kurumi couldn't find a better word than 'spoiled' for Rias. She didn't even bother to look at her status screen right now.

The somewhat recovered awkward atmosphere once again became awkward at Kurumi's remark. Akeno, in this situation, could only facepalm if she could do that kind of thing in this atmosphere in the first place. She, too, wonders why her president's IQ drops to zero sometimes.

(No hate for Rias; her appearance is really good, but she's way too stupid and spoiled because of her brother, tbh. She had way too much potential to surpass Sona, Akeno, and Issei, who only have the Red Dragon Emperor Longinus.)

.

- P.O.V Kurumi -

(Trying to make POVs more better so please tell me if It's good or bad, because I will use POVs more often when Chat Group opens.)

.

After hearing my response, the room became awkward once again. I knew that I didn't have any reason to act like this, but their reaction made me do it. It was priceless, in short.

Some seconds passed, and finally someone spoke. I was expecting that too, anyways.

"Ahem... Kaichou, you need to introduce yourself first before going straight to the topic. She came to school yesterday, remember?" Akeno said with a fake cough, and I couldn't help but raise my brow. Really? Was she that stupid to forget to introduce herself?

Even though Rias is the heiress of the prestigious devil clan Gremory and the younger sister of Lucifer himself, she was only medium-tier High-Class. A pathetic realm for someone of Rias's status.

'I'm quite disappointed,' I exclaimed in my mind as I saw Rias's status screen. It had nothing to impress me, honestly. The only thing that got my interest was her [Power of Destruction].

[Power of Destruction - T3(Originally T0)]

[Description: A Power that holds Destruction itself, with precise control you can even destroy concepts like child's play. This power originally comes from Shiva, God of Destruction. And Shiva got this power from the First Destruction that descended to the world of Dragon x Deus. Over time, this power greatly weakened, but still has enough power to be classified as the number 1 most destructive power in Dragon x Deus.]

While having this kind of power, how did she stay in medium-tier High-Class? I couldn't help but question it. And the system gave me the answer directly.

[Host, as far as you know, Rias is the 'main' heroine of Hyodou Issei. As a result, Outer Gods put pressure on her destiny and karma, making her more 'stupid' and 'incompetent.' As a result, she became like this. If Outer Gods didn't put the pressure on her, she probably would be the 'Destined Child' of this specific world.]

I read every piece of information the system gave me in mere seconds. Every piece of information the system gave me was always useful to me, after all. But another thing caught my attention while reading the last sentence of the system message.

'What is a 'Destined Child'? It's my first time hearing it,' I questioned the system inwardly.

[It's a term used for the child when a world selects them. Destined Children are like children of the World Will. The World's Will generally selects them every one century. It's for stabilizing their world while giving them a new era. Also, World Wills can also get bored if they live for so long, so it's one of the ways to entertain themselves.]

This was certainly something that Kurumi wanted. Just think about it: if she shot a hundred bullets with the concept of Destruction, what would happen? She could even make them explode on the spot if they didn't hit, making them more destructive while cutting enemy sight. Yes, this would also cut her sight, but the fight would lean towards her, not her enemy.

I was going to think more about this, but then I remembered that I'm still talking with someone, so I dismissed those thoughts for now and looked towards Rias.

Only a few seconds had passed anyway, with my time manipulation that came from Zafkiel. I could easily make something akin to Thought Acceleration, even though it spent my time quite a bit. It was worth it.

- POV End | Normal POV -

"Oh... Right! How could I forget that... Ahem... My name is Rias Gremory, Tokisaki-san. Nice to meet you. Please take a seat and make yourself comfortable," Rias finally remembered to introduce herself, with a slightly embarrassed blush on her face.

"Good... My name is Kurumi Tokisaki, Rias-san. Now you can call me Kurumi," Kurumi responded back with her sweet tone while taking a seat next to Koneko, who raised her eyebrow with a curious face.

Kurumi also looked at her with a smile and then took her and put Koneko on her lap!

For a moment, Koneko looked really surprised, but then felt Kurumi patting her head, giving her a surprisingly calm comfort. Feeling this, Koneko let herself be buried between Kurumi's breasts while making herself more comfortable on Kurumi's lap.

(Edit)

Rias looked at the scene with a wry smile before continuing what she wanted to talk about. "What do you think about the supernatural, Kurumi-san?" Rias asked Kurumi, wanting to know how much Kurumi knew about the supernatural world, or if she didn't know about it.

Kurumi was going to say that she knew about it, but before she could, a magic circle appeared on the floor, signaling that someone was teleporting here. Kurumi didn't look surprised, as if she knew who the owner of this circle was.

'Oh... Isn't that her? Well, this will get interesting now,' Kurumi thought to herself, recognizing the magic circle's owner.

After a few seconds, the magic circle vanished, and a person appeared wearing a maid uniform. She had beautiful silver hair and two pairs of crimson red eyes. She was Grayfia Lucifuge, the strongest queen in the Underworld.

[Photo of Grayfia]

"Rias-sa- Hm? It's you!" Grayfia was about to address Rias when she saw Kurumi and couldn't help but exclaim. This was the same girl she met yesterday, and one of the people who could break her stoic face.

"Hehe~ We meet again, Grayfia-chan~" Kurumi said with a small flirty smile towards Grayfia while still patting Koneko's head.

Everyone in the room except Koneko looked at the pair with shock. They expected that Kurumi knew about the supernatural world, but they definitely did not expect her to know Grayfia and address her like that.

"H-Huh? Do you know her, Grayfia?" Rias couldn't help but question Grayfia. She was curious how both of them met and how Kurumi addressed Grayfia like that. She wouldn't accept it if anyone called her like that, not even her brother.

(In this AU, Grayfia and Sirzechs didn't marry.)

"Ugh... It's not our current concern, Rias-sama. I came here because Sirzechs-sama had something important to tell you." Grayfia, with her experience as a maid, quickly changed the topic without anyone noticing except Kurumi, and started to tell what Sirzechs wanted to tell Rias.

"WHAT!? Only 2 weeks? How can I beat him in 2 weeks?" Rias shouted as she rose from her chair. She was talking about the marriage between her house and the Phoenix's house. She didn't want this marriage, as she wanted to choose her marriage herself. But her father didn't allow this and married her to the youngest son of the Phoenix House, Riser Phoenix. He was known as a playboy in the underworld because of that and because of his personality. Rias hated him to guts.

Normally they were going to marry when both of them turned 18, but now the marriage was going to happen after 2 weeks. Rias didn't have that much time to prepare when she had a whole year.

'Now I'm convinced that she is really stupid. Even if the outer gods put pressure on her, how can she be this stupid?' Kurumi questioned herself. This was another level of stupidity after all. But Rias was lucky in a way too. After all, she was going to kill Issei, making Rias free from outer gods' pressure in the process. Then she could take the POD from her, right? You could call it payback after all.

.

"Rias-sama, you had a whole year to train," Grayfia wanted to say but refrained from it. "I'm sorry, Rias-sama, but even your brother, Sirzechs-sama, couldn't do anything. Riser-sama will also come after 2 days, so please be prepared in that time," Grayfia informed Rias, shocking her once again. Meanwhile, Kurumi watched everything with great amusement.

'2 days, huh... So the information I got was true after all,' Kurumi said to herself as she began to think. When she received the information about the future, Kurumi didn't fully trust it, thinking her existence might have influenced it. But upon hearing that Riser was coming here in 2 days, she became certain that if she didn't interfere with the plot, everything would go as planned. However, she only received a certain part of the future, and it ended when Issei beat Riser.

"Ughh... Okay, give my brother my thanks. He tried his best after all," Rias said as she settled back into her chair. Her only hope now was to reincarnate that person, hoping that he would have a powerful sacred gear.

"Yes, Rias-sama. I will tell him," Grayfia responded, carrying a small smile on her face, happy that Rias finally appreciated Sirzechs's hard work. She was about to conquer the magic circle to go back, but a voice stopped her.

"Ara~ Are you leaving without talking to me, Grayfia-chan~? I'm hurt, you know?" Kurumi's sweet and teasing tone reached everyone's ears as they looked at her. Almost everyone except Akeno and Koneko had forgotten about her when Grayfia dropped some important information earlier.

"Kurumi-sama... Ugh... You're not going to let me go, right?" Grayfia sighed softly, remembering Kurumi's tendencies. Even though they had met just a day ago, Grayfia had some understanding of Kurumi's personality.

"Ehehe~ But you left me in that cold place without saying goodbye. I'm hurt because of that. What will we do~?" Kurumi exclaimed, feigning hurt, though everyone in the room, even Rias, could tell it was fake.

"Kurumi-sama, we fought for a straight hour. If it didn't kill you then, I don't think it would be able to kill you now. If I'm not mistaken, I already killed more than ten clones that were similar to you," Grayfia responded with her reasoning. Yesterday was their first time meeting and also the first time they fought. Grayfia was stronger than Kurumi, but Kurumi had more battle experience. In a way, their match was a draw, but Kurumi lost more than 10 clones in that battle.

Everyone was shocked at this revelation. Even Koneko, who was enjoying the head pats, lifted her head from Kurumi's bosom, giving a glance as if asking, 'Is this true?'

At this, Kurumi only gave a small smile, clarifying Koneko's doubts completely and allowing her to once again enjoy the heavenly head pats.

"Ara~ You deliberately did that, didn't you?" Even as Grayfia mentioned Kurumi's power prowess and abilities, her smile didn't waver for a moment. If Kurumi had wanted to conceal her abilities, she may not have come to this place at all.

"If there's nothing else, I need to report back to Sirzechs-sama, Kurumi-sama, and Rias-sama," Grayfia said without making any comment on Kurumi's statement, causing Kurumi to make a cute pout on her flawless face.

"You are so petty... It just makes me more interested in you, Grayfia-chan~" Kurumi's pouty face quickly vanished as if it hadn't happened at all, replaced by an amused smile as she looked toward Grayfia with great interest.

"W-We have nothing else, Grayfia. Once again, thank you for the information," Rias finally spoke, still processing what had just happened, but all of this only made her want Kurumi more and more.

After Grayfia vanished with the magic circle, no one in the room spoke until Kurumi broke the silence with her sweet words.

"If there's nothing, I will take my leave too," Kurumi's words brought everyone out of their thoughts and made them look at her.

"Ah... Wait. If you know about the supernatural, then you must also know about devil's peerage, right?" Rias asked urgently as she saw Kurumi was going to leave. She still hadn't explained why she had called her here!

"Yes, of course. But if you want to invite me to your peerage, you can dismiss those thoughts. I do not plan to join anyone's peerage. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't want a master weaker than me," Kurumi's words were like cold water to Rias. Each word pierced Rias's heart like a sword.

Rias bit her lip, unable to refute Kurumi's words as they were all true. She was giving her all, okay? It wasn't her fault she wasn't getting stronger.

(Looks like a skill issue to me tbh)

"Ugh... Then nevermind... Thank you for coming here, Kurumi-san," Rias decided not to reveal her plan as Kurumi had already figured out her whole plan. Now, her only chance to break this agreement was left to that boy, hoping he would awaken a strong sacred gear.
