Chapter 6 - Big sister (1/2)
She froze when heard what I've said. Trying to utter some words out of her mouth, but she can't say anything and seems can't respond it, I just sip the tea that already been prepared and served by Akeno-senpai while waiting her.
Putting down the cup, I looked straight at onee-sama.
”So… am I right?”
”B-But there is no way I can accept the marriage with Riser, Lilith. I don't even like him and really despite him. I'm being forced to do that by our family and devil society…”
”But you didn't prepare anything to prevent that? I mean… what about discuss it properly with them? I'm sure onii-sama will consider it and find a way to break your engagement with him. Like I said, onii-sama is love to spoil his sisters. You already knew from his habit everyday, right?”
Sure. She didn't do anything useful to herself and just waiting until her so-called 'knight in a white horse' or her 'hero' suddenly appears to save her from that big problem. Basically, throwing such an important and huge thing to someone, make him shoulders the responsibility while she doesn't do anything at all.
I'm sure, if only onee-sama put a bit effort to it, she will succeed to reach that. She will be satisfied by the result later. After all, hard work isn't disappoint someone at the end. Your work will be payed with same outcome.
Trying to enter our conversation, Yumi-senpai says something while put on a nervous smile.
”Li-Lilith-sama, may I interrupt?”
I just gave her a nod.
”I'm sure Rias-sama, Buchou, aren't neglect her own responsibility and goal, moreover as the heiress of Gremory. She's very responsible person I've ever knew and very kind, I don't think she will do that, Lilith-sama.”
”But how do you explain about the whole 'waiting for someone to solve all of her problem'? Sure, sometimes we doing that but… when we don't have the strength to solve it ourself. That's why, onee-sama, when you still have the strength and chance to prevent that… I suggest you to start from now because we—no, you still has the time.”
I suggest that. It's true, she still has months left to prepare anything for that and instead just laze around doing nothing, better to doing something productive and important. As I can tell the power level of her [Peerage] including her, is lower than mine… no, I'm not overconfidence or arrogant, but just stated the truth.
Example, although onee-sama is high-class devil, she just has low-class devil strength. Not strength in literal, but… her abilities is just at the same level as them. I can say onee-sama is the weakest amongst her [Peerage]. Yumi-senpai is three times stronger than her own [King], Shirone-chan is five times while Akeno-senpai is fourth times.
Roughly, I can summarize it like this using numbers:
??? – Creator-class
400000 – God-class
100000 – Ultimate-class
80000 – Super-class
50000 – High-class
25000 – Middle-class
8000 – Low-class
5000 – Bloom-class
100 – Weed-class
Oh, onee-sama already quite strong to facing human and defeat them, but if I can say… Riser-san abilities or power level is around 25000 and can be considered Low Middle-class. I mean, he won many Rating Games and quite strong with his control to fire ability since he is a Phenex.
Onee-sama – Low-class – 8000
Yumi-senpai – Intermediate Middle-class – 9000
Shirone-chan – Intermediate Middle-class – 10000
Akeno-senpai – High Middle-class – 15000
With enough training and correct way to do it, I'm pretty sure they will became strong faster than anyone who could ever guess. There's still a few month before the marriage really being held and they has the times to do it right now or maybe next week.
But well… since I'm generous enough, I give onee-sama and her [Peerage] the rough numbers of their power level from me and I could see their faces. They has various reacts to it, especially onee-sama who's stunned and grip the paper while gritted her teeth as if she about to angry about what I give to her.
I just sigh and says something to her.
”I'm not understimate you, but this is the fact, onee-sama.”
With anger, she respond it.
”Simple… you didn't train enough like those three. You only rely on our or Bael's clan ability, which is we known as [Power of Destruction] and not developt this abilities more further. Like come up with new move or spell… also, your familiar isn't really helpful, onee-sama.”
”But… this is just based on your view! This isn't true! I can't be this weak…!”
But I just shake my head. She really in denial about this and don't want to accept the fact. It's really pathetic to see it, onee-sama. Although she always boasting about her pride as Gremoty, even though she claim don't want to be seen as Gremory, quite hypocrite if I can say it.
”Let's face the truth, onee-sama. I mean… you have plenty of time. Just steel yourself, swallow that pride, and start train. Don't you want to cancel the marriage? Don't you say that you want to be acknowledge as Rias only… not Rias Gremory from Gremory clan?”
She taken a back. Maybe my words pierce her heart and think about it for a while. It's for your own good, onee-sama. I don't want to make you always rely on someone and show yourself weak in public. Doesn't that what you've always said in the past…? If she forget about it, I'm very disappointed at her.
Stands up, I then walk toward the club door and waved my hands.
”I hope you think about it and good luck. Thank you for the tea and snack, Akeno-senpai.”
I give her a satisfied smile, which makes her blushing and nods her head in understand while I get out from the ORC clubhouse and head home. I'm quite tired and of course without someone who accompanied me, because Mai-chan and Yukina-chan already back to their house while I turned down their offers.
”What a shame… why didn't I just ask them to wait for me…”
Walking with a slow and nice pace towards home is one of a thing that I enjoy. Living alone without my parents who support me, that makes me have to doing anything on my own and no maids or butler will doing all of that for me like others noble.
Back at home, in Underworld and Gremory's territory, I always being spoiled by my families which make the maids and butlers to preparing anything for me alone. I can say it's a custom and common for noble, because they considered as high-class and… awesome? I don't know how to describe it very well, but something like that.
But of course, living alone also means I have to protect myself on my own. Without the support from anyone, but my friends already visits me back then, we have a sleepover and doing something fun like… yeah, already crossed the line. We doing a threesome. I mean… me, Mai-chan, and Yukina-chan.
Although I knew that not change our relationship, it's not change the fact that we already crossed the line and became something beyonds friend. But we just carry it on like usual, like nothing happened and just resume our activities like normal.
Also, there is a time when we cook together and playing outside. Like playing in beach or anything. Although I'm the one who pay for that, they still insist to split the bill or we're not considered as friends and only parasite who leeching money from someone. Some best friend I had.
Although I'm saying without a support from anyone, it's including financially, even if my parents and brother spoil me a lot. They insist to have me to be in the best condition, it's really hilarious and somehow… they overdo it.
And of course I politely reject what they about to give me. Even Grayfia-san also agree about my decision. That's a relief for me.
”Oh right. Yuuma-san, or Raynare-san, says that she has a task to observe Sacred Gear user in this town… did it Hyoudou-senpai? If that's true, then maybe he will be targeted and from what I've heard back then, it sounds suspicious. The order Raynare-san get from her superior. I don't know why but feel strange.”
Just in case, I tried to call Raynare-san. Her number is already on my phone and I can contact her anytime, although I don't want to bother her when in work time. That's why I already ask about that too, to prevent a stupid mistake or time when I'm about to make a call with someone.
When I ask, the reply came out.
”Eh. No, no. What's wrong calling me, Lilith? Did you need something?”
”Just want to call and hear your voice, Raynare-san.”
”E-Eeeeeeeh?! P-Please don't say that, Lilith! Consider what you want to say!”
I just chuckled when heard she gone into a panic mode. It's quite cute when I heard it, imagining it is very easy for me. Since I know what the image that came from my imagination when doing it. Funny and cute, I really want to meet up with her but maybe later.
But I heard a coughing from her, a hint that she already calmed down.
”Joke aside, what's wrong, Lilith? Please tell me.”
