Chapter 119 - A [Pawn]? (1/2)

Looking outside the window, Wang Lei could see the sun setting. He looked down at his ŀȧp, at little Akeno, who was breathing gently, already off to her dreamland.

'Should I train her?... I think I should.' Wang Lei thought as gently ċȧrėssing her head, making her purr in pŀėȧsurė.

On the other side, he could see Shuri and Akeno having tea and snacks to pass time and talking from time to time. Mostly about Shuri's experience after she left the Himejima clan.

MEOW~

Kuro purred on Wang Lei's ŀȧp, gaining Wang Lei's attention towards the black feline. Smiling, Wang Lei gently strokes her smooth soft fur and wondered how long will this Youkai act like a cat.

He wondered if this cat still thought that he was unaware of her presence and did not find out about now who she was. He has already guessed who she is though.

I mean, it was not that hard as every person, who has watched DxD or read it's fanfiction, could easily deduce the identity of the black two tails cat. And he was sure many people would die to have her too. Who would not want a cat Youkai cuddling with them?

If only humans in his previous life invested in the cat girl project...

Looking back at the moon, Wang Lei enjoyed the silence that the night provided him. Being a Primordial Vampire, he really felt calm at night. As if he was supposed to be awake and active at night. He knew it was a trait because of his Primordial Vampire's bloodline, but sleeping was one of the things he liked too much -- definitely not going to stop doing it.

SHRING~

Just then, a crimson magic circle forms in the center of the room, taking everyone's attention towards it.

It seems like to avoid any complications, Suzaku had deployed the magic circle directly inside the guest room.

An abstract symbol was drawn on the magic circle -- those with knowledge could tell that it was the symbol of the Gremory Family from the underworld.

A moment later, two figures form above the magic circle. One short and the other tall, a girl and an old man.

The girl had long red hair, silky smooth white skin, red eyes. Her face had slight baby fat, making her look quite cute with how serious she looked...or at least tried to look on, but failed miserably due to her slightly chubby face.

It was none other than Rias Gremory and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa -- Bishop of Sirzech Lucifer.

Wang Lei stared at little Rias with interest in his eyes. She was looking around the room, examining the interior and its inhabitant.

After checking everyone, her eyes land on Wang Lei. Though she was not sure, she felt like. She should stay away from Wang Le, or she would be trapped in some kind of abyss from which she will never be able to escape.

But the same could not be said for Heinrich; his eyes were serious when he gazed at Wang Lei. He felt terror. He did not know the reason for that, but his blood of the devil was screaming to him not to mess with this young man. He was giving him the same or even worse feeling than his lord and master, Sirzech! Something that made him really confused as he could not feel anything special from this person, except that he had Youkai as his pet.

”Rias, you are here.” Suzaku gently said smiling.

Turning her attention away from Wang Lei, who was smiling the whole time, Rias smiled and nodded.

”Sorry if I was late. Brother wanted me to bring Heinrich as it could get dangerous for me to come alone.” Her childish voice resonates inside the room, a complete contrast as to her appearance as it was not something you would hear from a child. Her composure really matched an ȧduŀt, but maybe because she wanted to act like one.

Gently shaking her head, the raven head said, ”It's alright. I know how much your brother cares about you. He loves his sister after all.”

Rias giggled hearing it -- a melody to hear.

”Onii-sama really does cares a lot about me. But sometimes it gets annoying.” She honestly presented her thoughts.

Rias and Suzaku have been in contact with each other for a year or two, enough for both of them to know about each other characters. They were like friends due to being in contact with each other for a year. And being the sister of Maou and heir of the Himejima clan played a vital role in it.

Suzaku also giggled slightly, hearing her. After some talk, she pointed her finger at Shuri, who has been smiling the whole time, making it really hard for a person to tell what she was thinking currently.

”She is my aunt, Shuri Himejima. Also, the mother of Akeno Himejima there.” The young buxom pointed her finger at Akeno, who was rhythmically breathing on Wang Lei's ŀȧp, asleep.

Rias nodded and then looked at Wang Lei, obviously waiting for Shuzaku to introduce the young man to.

”...He is Wang Lei. The person who saved aunt Shuri and Akeno from the ȧssassination.” After a slight pause, Suzaku said. She was not sure whether to introduce him without his permission or not; who knew if he wanted to hide his identity. But since Wang Lei did not say anything, she took it as an agreement for her to introduce him.

Rias was surprised to hear it. She could not feel anything from the young man in front of her, making him quite mortal in her eyes with no special talent except for his perfect jade-like face. Her curiosity rose. This man was definitely not normal, something she found intriguing.

Seeing her examining him, Wang Lei smirked, ”Oya~, such a young girl are you and yet to check a male so blatantly, did no one thought you to not do that to a stranger, little girl?”

Rias frowned, hearing him. It was the first time for her to hear someone talking to her like that. Mostly would not after knowing her status as the little sister of the Maou.

”But, don't worry, I am professional at 'teaching' little girls about etiquette. After spending some time with me, you will become a splendid lady.” He fufu laughed after saying that.

Heinrich hurriedly blocked in front of Rias as if protecting her, making both Rias, Suzaku, and Shuri frown.

Rias frowned at Heinrich's unusual behavior. She knew he would never do anything if it was not related to her health, so it can be interpreted that he thought Wang Lei was a dangerous individual.

While Shuri and Suzaku frowned as, for both of them, he was a benefactor. They would not feel good if was insulted in any way.

”Who are you?” Heinrich asked cautiously. He just could not get rid of the feeling he was having no matter what.

With the brow slightly raised, Wang Lei said with an amused smile, ”Now that's a question that I have been wondering for such a long time. I have many guesses though, do you want to hear them?”

Heinrich frowned, hearing his answer. Wang Lei did not know about his identity? Does he have amnesia or something? was what Heinrich thinking.

”I am not playing games with you sir, but if you please identify yourself, it would be appreciated. I am Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, Bishop of Sirzech-sama -- the Maou!” Heinrich introduced himself as a form of courtest and hoped for Wang Lei to reply with the same.

With the same amused smile, Wang Lei spoke, ”Hmm, it is nice to meet you, little Heinrich. As for who I am, did little Suzaku not explain it? I am Jiang Wang Lei.”

Heinrich, who still got no info out of him, wanted to speak again but was blocked by Rias, ”Heinrich, it is rude to ask a person's personal information!” Though she was interested in Wang Lei's information, it was obvious that he was playing with them and was not willing to explain more than his name.

”Well said, little girl. You should not seek what you cannot digest. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss, after all.” With the same amusing smile, Wang Lei stated while clapping.

Rias templed twitched, but then she thought of asking him to become her peerage member. He looked strong, and most importantly, mysterious. She could tell that he would become a great member of her peerage.

”Say, do you want to become part of my peerage?” Rias asked.

There was silence in the room after her question with everyone looking at Wang Lei, who suddenly started to laugh.

Rias frowned, seeing him laughing.

”Why are you laughing? Did I say anything funny?” It was really making her annoyed, seeing Wang Lei laughing at her.

Suzaku worriedly looked at them, same with Shuri. While Heinrich had the same serious eyes watching Wang Lei.

”Hahaha! Sorry, sorry... Just that, it was too funny for me. You said you want me to become part of your peerage, right?” Controlling his laughter, Wang Lei asked.

Though irritated, Rias nodded her head.

From an amusing smile, Wang Lei smirked and said, ”Why not? Only if you can, that is. But if it's too simple, it would make things too boring. Don't you think so?”
