Chapter 03: Meet the Maid
— Kuro —
In the end, I decided to go to school after all. Aside from a rather dirty look from Sona, it appears I will be facing no consequences for my mischief last night.
And 'no consequences' happens to be my favourite two words to see in sequence together.
So, I've looked into my stats a little more and it seems like they're race-dependent, with C being average for that race, essentially a baseline adult.
As a human, having an A in strength might seem impressive but I wouldn't be winning any arm wrestling contests with devils or dragons.
But I can improve my stats naturally, by practising them instead of just spending essence and free stat boosts are always going to be important, especially as the cost for boosting it rises.
As classes come to an end, I see Rias coming toward me out of the corner of my eye, making me roll my eyes with a smile.
She doesn't give up easily, does she?
"Not today, Rias. I have stuff to do," I say bluntly, making her pause mid-step before she smiles at me.
We're attracting attention since the classroom is still pretty full, and I've heard the rumours circulating around me and Rias.
"That's fine, I just need to talk to you for a couple of minutes," Rias says easily, making me turn to her. "I just have a gift for you, that's all."
"Well, I do like gifts," I admit, making her smile smugly.
"Exactly, it's worth giving me a couple of minutes of your time, right?" Rias asks.
"I suppose it is," I agree with a heavy sigh, making her pout at me playfully.
So once again, I find myself heading to the Occult Research Clubhouse, it's becoming something of a pattern at this point.
"So, what's this gift and what's your ulterior motive for giving it to me?" I ask as we arrive, making her briefly look offended before she giggles again.
"Am I that predictable?" Rias asks as she goes to her desk, opening her drawer and pulling out a smartphone.
"You've been pretty upfront about your motives, you wouldn't be giving me something unless you were benefiting in some way. I don't blame you, I don't do anything that doesn't benefit me either," I admit, making her smile as she hands over the phone.
"You're right, I do have ulterior motives. This looks like a normal phone but it's one of Lord Ajuka's designs. It has access to the devilnet, plus it can make calls between dimensions," Rias explains, making my eyebrows rise.
That sounds like some bullshit, but I believe it, Ajuka is supposed to be insanely intelligent after all.
"Plus, this way I have your contact details and I can get a hold of you even outside of school," Rias says with a grin, making me roll my eyes.
"I give no promises that I'll answer my phone," I admit, making her laugh, "I should reply if you text me, though."
"Don't worry, I expected as much," Rias admits, "I've already saved my contact details."
Messing around with the phone, it's pretty obvious Ajuka based it on a regular smartphone, or maybe smartphones are based on Ajuka's design in this world? Either way, it's familiar enough for me to find using it easy.
Finding my contacts, I pause as I see that Rias and Akeno's numbers are both saved, with pictures attached to them.
They aren't nudes exactly, but they're pretty damn close, with Akeno smirking at the camera as she kneels on a bed in a very sheer black nightie with a matching thong.
Rias however is wearing an apron in her picture, just an apron that barely covers anything leaving her thighs, cleavage and a very healthy amount of sideboob on display.
"I didn't know you cooked," I say, not letting her see me react as she gives me a sly smile.
"I do, I'd be happy to cook for you sometime, if you'd like," Rias offers.
"And what would that cost me?" I ask easily.
"Well, I am a devil. We could always make a contract, I'm sure we could come to an agreement that leaves us both… satisfied," Rias says with a sultry tone.
"Has anyone told you that you're a filthy tease," I say bluntly, making her giggle. "We both know you wouldn't be satisfied with just a contract, not when you want me under you so badly."
"Oddly enough, no. Besides, a tease wouldn't back up her words. I might not have had my first kiss yet, but don't think that I'm innocent, I am a devil at heart after all," Rias counters, stepping into my personal space as her breasts push against my chest. "And you're right, I do want to have you under me, but a contract would be a start."
"You just don't give up, do you?" I ask, making her simply smile at me in response.
"Speaking of contracts… are you interested in joining me and my Peerage for a training match this weekend?" Rias asks, making me tilt my head slightly.
"Oh?"
"We're having a practice match against Sona and her Peerage, but my Bishop can't join us so I want you to take his place," Rias admits.
Oh yeah, Gasper is a thing.
"Plus, it'll serve as good practice for when you join my Peerage," Rias continues with a smirk, making me roll my eyes again.
Credit where it's due, she really doesn't give up.
"You realise that my entire thing is having undead minions, I don't think they'd even be allowed in a Rating Game," I point out, making her smile smugly.
"They would, I went over the rules for summons and minions created by a player's magic. I even contacted one of the judges, there's a precedent for it. You're not the only person who relies on summons or creations, just because your creations used to be living creatures doesn't actually change anything," Rias explains, making me sigh.
Somehow, I'm not surprised she's already made sure I could use my undead.
"I see. Well, if this match is part of a contract, what do I get out of it?" I ask, making her smile.
I don't mind joining a training match because it's a one time thing, it's basically a mercenary contract with no strings attached once the match is over.
I won't serve her, but mercenary work is a different situation entirely.
"Five bodies, humans that are… freshly dead and in relatively good condition," Rias offers, making me pause. "The match shouldn't take more than a couple of hours, and there's no risk involved. If you agree, I can have the bodies by the end of tonight so you can work your magic on them before the match."
That's rather generous even if it's probably very easy for her to get her hands on.
"And if we win, I'll owe you a favour that you can use for anything within reason," Rias continues, smiling as she sees my interest despite my best efforts to look indifferent.
Five bodies would help with expansion considerably since Isskeleton can only do so much on his own.
"Within reason?" I ask, making her smile.
"We both know this isn't some massive effort for you, both Sona and I already know about you and its private so you're not bringing any more spotlight onto you," Rias points out. "So yes, within reason. I won't blame you for being greedy, just don't push your luck."
I could use this favour for something useful… or I could mess with Rias more.
"Would a lap dance be within reason?" I ask, making her pause as she blushes slightly.
"Do you really think I should giving someone an erotic dance before I've even had my first kiss?" Rias asks with a pout, making me grin. "What kind of girl do you think I am?"
"Well, that's easily solved. I'll play along with your little plan, if you kiss me now and give me a lap dance if we win," I offer, she keeps saying she's not just a tease so it's time she puts her money where her mouth is.
Placing her hands against my chest, she gently pushes me back into the chair, before she moves forwards and climbs into my lap.
"Deal~" Rias whispers, leaning forwards and planting her mouth against mine, her soft, plump lips meeting mine as she immediately deepens the kiss.
We both know that the kiss could have been a peck on the cheek, but she doesn't complain as my tongue slips into her mouth, fighting for domination against her.
She tastes sweet, almost like strawberries, though it takes me a moment to place the flavour.
Her hands slide under my shirt as we kiss, and I'm not going to let her get ahead in our game as I return the favour, my hands moving under her skirt, gently groping her curvy backside as she moans into my mouth.
It doesn't take me long to realise that she isn't wearing anything under her skirt, having apparently gone commando as she gives me a smug look.
Breaking the kiss, she lowers herself so she's sitting fully in my lap, feeling the hardness beneath her.
"There, with that our contract is sealed," Rias says, not mentioning the way my hands are still playing with her backside.
"That was your first kiss?" I ask, impressed as she giggles.
"My first kiss with a man, yes. I'm afraid my actual first kiss was taken by Akeno a long time ago," Rias admits, gently grinding herself against me. "I've had a lot of practice."
"Is that so? It certainly paid off," I admit, still groping her unresisting body.
"I'd say I hope you enjoyed it, but I can feel your enjoyment," Rias whispers, giving me a sultry smile. "Would you like me to… take care of that for you?"
"And what would that cost me?" I ask, making her pause before she smiles.
"A favour, within reason," Rias offers, and I feel like this is a trap but I can also feel a lot more than that. "If I ask for something that you think is too much, you can just say no."
"Deal," I say, making her giggle again as she slips out of my lap, onto her knees between my legs.
"Good boy, now just sit back and enjoy yourself. This is a first for me, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it," Rias whispers, undoing her shirt and dropping it to the floor under her.
— Rias Gremory —
The plan she and Sona had come up with was fairly simple in truth, and played on the fact that Kuro was at heart a teenage boy.
If she lost to Riser, she'd be forced to marry him and this game she was playing with Kuro would come to a sudden end.
She needed to seduce Kuro, not in the hopes of trading sexual favours in exchage for him joining her Peerage, but so that he grew attached to her.
She needed him to get jealous at the idea of Riser taking her away, so that he'd want to make sure she won. It wasn't perfect, but nothing about her situation had been perfect in a long time.
Undoing her bra, she gave Kuro a sultry smirk as she pulled it off, her breasts jiggling as they were released from their prison.
As she told Kuro, she very much wasn't shy or innocent, and Kuro was cute enough for her to not mind playing with him like this. In honesty, if she was wearing panties they'd be very damp after their kiss and his groping.
There was also a spiteful part of her that refused to let Riser have any of her firsts if the worst should happen.
Undoing Kuro's belt and trousers, she gently pulled them down along with his boxers, watching his cock spring free, already fully erect.
She hadn't actually seen a dick in person, but she had watched porn before and Kuro definitely seemed like he was a good size.
She'd seen bigger in porn, but then Devilnet porn got weird and she'd seen a girl smaller than Koneko take a cock that would look big on a giant, so that wasn't saying much.
Kuro's cock was a good size, but not too big that it looked like it would hurt to take inside her, with a nice thickness as well as she gently wrapped her fingers around it and stroked it curiously.
She could do this, she'd watched enough porn (and hentai) to know what she was doing.
She should have prepared some lotion, but that would make it too obvious she was planning something like this, so instead she leaned forwards and parted her lips, staring up at him as she took the tip of his cock between her soft, full lips.
There was already a slightly salty taste of his pre-cum, but she didn't mind as she took it further into her mouth and gently swirled her tongue around the bulbous tip.
She was mostly doing this to get him nice and lubed up for the boobjob that was to follow, drooling into his cock as she took about half of it into her mouth before coughing as it poked the back of her throat.
Pulling back, she rubbed her saliva in as best she could before moving forward and pushing her breasts together, trapping his cock between them as she smiled up at him.
Her attempts to bounce on her heels were clumsy at best, but Kuro didn't seem to mind as he groaned in pleasure, leaning back in his chair.
"That's it, just relax and let me help you," Rias whispered, moving her chest up and down.
She was determined to escape Riser, no matter what the cost, something like seducing Kuro was practically nothing, and she couldn't deny it was pretty fun to hear him groan in pleasure as she squeezed her breasts together, feeling the hard slab of meat between them.
After a few minutes, she could feel it start twitching between her cleavage, making her smile as she prepared for his climax.
"Fuck," Kuro muttered quietly, making her smile proudly as she felt his cock start to spurt its load out between her considerable cleavage, most of the sticky seed getting trapped between her breasts as she felt some splatter against her chin.
"There we go, that's better," Rias said kindly, looking down at her cum-stained breasts as she stood back up. "Hm, you made quite the mess… we have a shower in the clubhouse, would you like to join me? No strings attached, I promise," Rias joked as Kuro paused before giving her a smirk.
"Lead the way," Kuro said simply, rising as she unzipped her skirt and dropped it, pulling her socks off and leaving her clothes behind as she gave Kuro his first view of her entire naked body.
The hunger in his eyes made her feel sexy, his eyes roaming over her naked body sending a shiver through her body as she headed to the shower, turning it on as she turned back and gave Kuro a grin.
"Are you planning to shower with your clothes on?" Rias asked, making him roll his eyes as he stripped off.
Kuro had some muscles, though not many. He was not a physical fighter, so they'd have to protect him from attackers if he joined them.
Though she supposed that was what his undead were for.
Watching him step out of his clothes, she stepped into the shower and beckoned him forwards with a sultry smile.
As he entered, she turned her back to him and looked over her shoulder at Kuro with a smirk.
"While you're here, you can make yourself useful and wash my back for me, since Akeno isn't here to do it for me," Rias teased, smiling as Kuro pressed his body against hers, his cock already erect once more as it pressed against her butt.
His hands instead found her breasts as she giggled, feeling the hot water run over them.
"That's not my back," Rias pointed out, feeling his greedy hands gently grope and squeeze her breasts. "You and Akeno are too alike, she can't stop her hands from wandering either," Rias admitted with a giggle.
"You don't seem to mind," Kuro whispered, kissing her neck as he caressed her body, tweaking one of her nipples.
"I knew you were a greedy one before I invited you into my shower, you're the type of man to take a mile for every inch I offer," Rias giggled, adjusting herself as she trapped his cock between her thighs, blushing as she felt it rub against her undercarriage, sending a shiver of pleasure through her. "We can't have sex, but that doesn't mean we have to stop… it's not fair that only you got to cum after all," Rias pointed out, pushing back against him as she started to grind herself against his length.
She was playing a dangerous game here because she knew about the spell that had been placed on her.
Right on schedule, a flash of light drew both their attention as a silver-haired woman in a maid outfit with a stern, disapproving expression appeared in the room with them.
"Lady Rias, I thought it was made clear that-" Grayfia started, looking at them both with disapproval.
"That I couldn't lose my virginity before my wedding night, I know," Rias said, turning them around so Kuro was back against the wall, his cock still trapped between her thighs.
It wasn't that the Phenexes expected her to be a virgin, not with Riser being such a manwhore, but her family didn't want her damaging their reputation by sleeping around.
"…and yet here you are, naked with a practical stranger's manhood between your legs," Grayfia said sternly. "You, move away from Lady Rias-"
"Don't go anywhere Kuro, actually keep using my thighs," Rias ordered, placing his hands on her hips. "As for you, my virginity is not at risk, so run along and tell my family that it was a false alarm," Rias said bluntly, making Grayfia blink in shock at her blunt words.
Grayfia was big on responsibility, and she saw her attempts to escape her 'responsibility' to her family as the actions of a spoiled princess, and even if her brother had tried to subtly help her, Grayfia had always been of the belief that she should marry Riser for the good of their families and the Underworld.
"Rias, this is highly improper," Grayfia scolded, making Rias smirk.
"You're right, it is improper for a married woman to be acting like a voyeur, or are you here as the family maid?" Rias asked, moving back as she grinded herself against Kuro's cock. "I'm not breaking any rules, and I'm certainly acting more innocent than my fiancée does on a daily basis, so run along."
It was risky talking to Grayfia like that, the older woman was immensely powerful and much more prideful than her preferred style of dress would suggest.
"I think not-" Grayfia started, clearly caught off guard by her rebellious act.
"Oh, you'd rather watch then? Or maybe you'd like to join in? I made a contract to leave Kuro satisfied and the fat cock between my legs doesn't feel very satisfied," Rias said bluntly, making Grayfia's eyes widen.
Technically that was a little white lie, but it had enough truth in it to fool Grayfia.
"I need to keep my word, so if you want me to stop then you'll have to take my place," Rias continued, even as Kuro played along and continued to thrust between her legs.
She was glad that Kuro was so carefree and independent, because he could definitely feel how powerful Grayfia was and her plans would be ruined if he got scared off.
Instead of being intimidated, Kuro moved one hand up to play with her breast as the other moved between her legs and teased her slit, making her moan slightly as she stared at Grayfia challengingly.
Grayfia's pride wouldn't allow her to take Rias's offer, and by making it a contract Grayfia couldn't just demand they stop since she didn't know the details of what they agreed to.
"Boy, hurry up and finish. I will be watching, do not attempt any insertion," Grayfia said coldly, glaring at Kuro who just gave her a lazy smirk in return as he continued to fuck Rias's thighs.
"Take your time, Kuro. You don't need to rush on her account," Rias said with a breathy voice as she leaned back and gave him a kiss, knowing Grayfia was watching them with a slight scowl.
Despite her words, she could feel her own climax approaching as Kuro skilfully played with her naked body, moaning louder and louder as the taboo situation made it all the more exciting.
This probably wasn't what Sirzechs was expecting when he sent Kuro her way, but he only had himself to blame.
As her climax crashed over her, she let out a lewd moan and leaned back against Kuro, mentally laughing at how ridiculous this entire situation was as Grayfia watched her cum.
Kuro's thrusts sped up as she clenched her thighs down on his throbbing shaft, gasping in pleasure as he gently tweaked one of her nipples.
"Fuck, that's it, fuck my thighs, I want to watch you cum," Rias moaned, knowing Grayfia was still watching.
Kuro didn't keep her waiting much longer, and as she felt him start to twitch again, she pushed herself into her tiptoes, freeing his cock slightly as it angled upwards, his tip pressing against her slit as he started to cum, splattering her pussy with his sticky seed.
Stepping forwards, she looked down at herself with a giggle, ignoring their voyeur.
"Well, it's a good job we're already in the shower since you made a mess again," Rias teased, leaning up and kissing him roughly as she ran her hand through his messy hair.
"Your contract is fulfilled and you've been… satisfied, now if you'd be so kind as to get out of the shower," Grayfia said, giving Kuro a dirty look as Rias deliberately rubbed herself against him, turning to face Grayfia while pushing her buttocks against his cock as she felt him start to return to hardness.
"My sympathies, Grayfia," Rias said simply, making Grayfia blink. "I didn't particularly want to know that my brother has such little staying power, but Kuro takes more than once to be satisfied and I don't leave a job half done."
Grayfia's face flushed angrily as Rias stepped aside, Grayfia's eyes briefly lowering to Kuro's still hard crotch.
— Kuro —
My genius intuition is telling me that Rias might have some minor issues.
I recognise Grayfia, probably the hottest character from DxD that I know of as she glares
at me, and I know she's much stronger than me but her angry look is just kinda sexy to be honest and as threatening as the sheer aura of magic around her is, I've made my decision to play along with whatever Rias is doing.
Am I being led around by my dick? Perhaps, but at the very least it's funny.
"Lady Rias, get out of the shower," Grayfia almost growls, and as Rias goes to speak again, decidedly not moving away from me Grayfia storms forwards and pulls her out of the shower, turning it off.
Grayfia is stupidly powerful, just being near her makes that clear. I've been focusing on trying to work out this magical sense I have, and Grayfia is the equivalent of a flashbang to it.
Skill Created
[Magical Sense]
You have gained the ability to sense magic around you, detecting fellow magic users, active spells and magical items.
This sense scales with Wisdom.
Huh, it scales from wisdom? That would certainly explain why my sixth sense has become more sensitive.
"Grayfia, I've already said that-" Rias starts, I don't know exactly why she's doing this but I'm guessing she's got some major issues with her family at the moment, and despite my efforts I've become a pawn in this game.
I'd complain if it wasn't so pleasurable.
"Yes, I heard you the first time," Grayfia says bluntly, a flare of her magic making Rias go silent and back away a step.
— Rias Gremory —
She'd pushed Grayfia too far, enjoying annoying one of the people who had pushed her to marry Riser.
Why should her pride and reputation matter when she was going to be made into Riser's cocksleeve if they had their way?
"We will discuss this later, Lady Rias, when we do not have an audience. Your family would not approve of you performing such acts with a human, and you certainly shouldn't be making contracts that require you to perform sexual actions," Grayfia scolded, making her glare at the older woman.
"Why not?! My father certainly didn't mind making a contract that involved me 'performing sexual actions'," Rias countered with a mocking tone.
"There is a considerable difference between a marriage contract between two nobles and you selling your body to a human mage," Grayfia said sternly.
"You're right, in one of those it's my own decision, in the other it's my family selling my body regardless of my wishes," Rias replied, before smirking. "But regardless, whether I should have done it or not doesn't matter. I made the contract and it needs to be fulfilled," Rias lied, moving back towards Kuro as Grayfia stepped between them.
"You have done enough," Grayfia said sternly, before sighing in annoyance. "Follow me, both of you."
She shouldn't have dragged Kuro into her issues with her family like this, sharing a glance with Kuro who seemed remarkably calm about the angry, very powerful, devil that was leading them back into the office.
Despite that, she mouthed a quick 'sorry' to him, making him smile slightly.
"Sit down," Grayfia demanded, watching the two of them, still naked and wet, take their seats on the couch. "You are Kuro Sasaki, correct?"
"That's me," Kuro answered easily, unconcerned as Grayfia gave him a scowl.
"Once this is finished, you will fulfill whatever end of the deal Rias foolishly made, am I clear?" Grayfia said sternly, making him nod.
"You're preaching to the choir, I wasn't planning on breaking my word anyway," Kuro said lazily, unimpressed by her glare.
She'd have to do something special for Kuro after he was willing to go along with her lie in the face of someone as powerful as Grayfia.
"So, can I finish my contract without any more interruptions?" Rias asked bluntly, crossing her arms under her breasts and giving Grayfia a dirty look.
"Mr Sasaki, you are not to mention this contract to anyone, I will not have you damaging Lady Rias's reputation by spreading the knowledge that she offers such… contracts," Grayfia says coldly, not breaking Kuro's lazy grin.
"I'm hardly the only devil to use sex as a bargaining tool," Rias scoffed, making Grayfias scowl deepen
"There is a difference between some reincarnated devil selling her body and a future Lady of a Pillar Clan doing so. You have a certain standard to uphold and devils have long memories. A devil heiress selling her body to a human, especially a particularly weak one, would mar your reputation for a long time," Grayfia lectured, not noticing as Kuro's grin slipped for the first time and his eyes narrowed before he relaxed again.
He did not enjoy being called weak. Something to keep in mind.
"So it's not the fact that I'm 'selling my body', it's the fact that I'm not getting enough out of it?" Rias asked with a roll of her eyes.
Sometimes she didn't like her race, there was a reason she was so happy to spend her time in the human world.
"Whatever, it doesn't matter right now anyway, I have a contract to fulfil," Rias said, making Grayfia sigh.
"Indeed. Unfortunately, you're correct. Outright breaking a contract would be equally bad for your reputation," Grayfia said with a frown. "Continue, however there is to be no insertion. I'd prefer you just use your hand."
"That'd take too long," Rias said as she moved between Kuro's legs, giving her partner in crime a wink as she moved his still hard cock between her breasts again.
It was strange to have Grayfia standing there watching her pleasure Kuro, no doubt sticking around to make sure things didn't get out of hand, but Kuro definitely didn't seem to mind as she bounced in place, whispering sweet nothings to Kuro.
Grayfia scowled as she leaned down and kissed the tip of Kuro's cock, licking and kissing as it poked free of her cleavage, but she didn't say anything as the frowning maid watched her 'fulfill her contract'.
She'd have to lie her ass off about what exactly this mysterious contract entailed, Grayfia wouldn't be amused if she realised there was no such contract.
As Kuro's climax approached, she knew exactly where she wanted it as she moved back and grasped his dick with her slender fingers, gently stroking him to his finish.
As the first spurt hit her face, she just tilted her head back and obediently knelt there and let him paint her face with his hot seed.
As Kuro's cock started to grow soft, Rias smiled up at him, her face painted white as she rose to her feet.
"Get dressed and leave, Mr Sasaki," Grayfia ordered, making Kuro rise to his feet.
"Has anyone ever told you that you're rather bossy for a servant?" Kuro asked easily, making Grayfia's eyes narrow.
"I am a servant to the Satan Lucifer and the Gremory family, you are neither," Grayfia replied as she watched Kuro dress slowly.
"So, Rias is above you then? Should a maid be scolding the heiress of the family she serves?" Kuro asked, making Grayfia pause, deigning not to answer his pointed question as Kuro exposed how ridiculous Grayfia's maid act was.
"I'll see you at school, Rias, we can talk more about my part of the contract tomorrow," Kuro said, making her nod with a smile.
"And I'll drop off the materials I owe you tonight, I'll teleport into your apartment given their… nature," Rias promised, making Kuro give her a smile. "Oh, and that favour we discussed? I'll do it for free, so you can save it for something else."
Kuro paused midstep, giving her a lazy smile.
"I see. It's been a pleasure, Rias, as always. Grayfia, it was a plea… it was ni- hm, it was an interesting experience to meet you," Kuro said with a light grin as he walked away, making Grayfia roll her eyes.
"Clean yourself up, Rias. You look-"
"I'm just getting some practice in for my future life as Riser's cumdump," Rias said in response, making Grayfia sigh.
She knew there would be consequences for her little game here, but it felt good to just stop the begging, pleading and reasoning with her family and just act as rebellious as they treated her.
— Kuro —
I'm not going to pretend I understand devil politics or family matters, and I realise Rias is using me as a tool against her family and engagement, but I'm using her as well so I don't particularly mind.
Walking home, I start to plan out my dungeon expansion for when I have six times the manpower that I have now.
Lost in thoughts, I almost miss it when a spell comes into effect around me. I keep walking even as I raise my guard, noticing that the area has suddenly become extremely empty.
As in, I can't see a single person other than myself as I walk towards my apartment.
Another spell comes into effect and my ambusher gives their position away as I see the shadow of something flying above me.
I don't react yet, letting them think I'm unaware of my tail, attempting to return to my dungeon. My recall fails, clearly they've done something to prevent dimensional travel.
This could be a problem, I'm not specced for open combat like this, but I have a plan.
They're flying above me, and that's a problem because while I have a ranged attack, my undead do not.
I can feel my horde waiting to be called, I think I can call them in, I just can't leave myself.
I need to take away their aerial advantage, so as I walk past a building with an open door, I suddenly turn and sprint into it, hearing a curse come from above, feeling a surge of magic before a pink spear strikes the ground near the door I just rushed into.
Whatever they've done to separate us from the civilians has left this house empty, which means it serves as a good cover for me.
Like hell I'm sitting outside and letting someone take potshots at me, if they want me they'll have to come and claim me.
— Mittelt —
She should have known a mage would be able to sense her spells, and as she flew above the house she scowled seeing him not come out.
"I told you we should have attacked him immediately, letting mages prepare is always a bad idea," Dohnaseek scolded, making her glare at him.
"Oh, so we should have attacked close to Kuoh and risked getting Grayfia Lucifuge's attention?" Mittelt barked back, making him wince. "No thanks, I like living. Anyway, he can't hide in there forever."
"He's a mage, the longer we wait the more dangerous this becomes. If we retreat and try to regain the element of surprise, he'll go to ground and we'll be hard pressed to find him again," Dohnaseek said, making her scowl deepen.
Despite her anger, she couldn't deny that Dohnaseek was right.
Summoning another spear, she flew down and landed just outside the house. She wanted this to be an easy assassination, but now it was going to be annoying. She wouldn't fail Lord Azazel after being selected for this task.
At least the house he was cowering in wasn't that large, he didn't have many places to hide.
Dohnaseek joined her as she stormed into the house, feeling a strange magic coming from the building. It felt like death, which gave weight to Dohnaseek's warnings.
Following the magic, she paused as she reached the kitchen, sensing it coming from a cupboard under the sink.
This was the mage Lord Azazel wanted dead? Some cowering schoolboy hiding in a cupboard?
Sharing a smirk with Dohnaseek, he walked forwards and grabbed the cupboard door, ripping it open.
Then all hell broke loose, as a hungry, angry hyena lunged out of the cupboard and bit down on Dohnaseek's arm with a feral cackle.
The sound of cracking bones made her eyes widen as she went to stab at the rotting beast, before the sound of movement made her turn around just in time to fly back and avoid the lunging maw of another hyena. Almost immediately she hit the roof of the kitchen, still low enough for them to bite at her feet as they poured into the room.
Dohnaseek stabbed at the hyena on his arm, but two more lunged at him as a ray of green energy shot through a doorway and struck him in the neck, making him gasp as the skin started to turn black.
The moment of panic as he clutched at his rotting flesh cost him, and the mage watched dispassionately from the doorway as his pack of undead abominations swarmed Dohnaseek, half a dozen hungry mouths tearing into him as he screamed.
"Huh, you guys are weak," Kuro said bluntly, watching the undead tear Dohnaseek apart with an utterly apathetic expression.
Not that she was paying too much attention to him as she stabbed down at the hyena that had bitten into her leg and was currently hanging off her, jaw clamped down on her thigh as she screamed in pain, stabbing it in the side and making it let go.
With seemingly no prompt, every hyena feeding on Dohnaseek stopped and turned to face her as Kuro pointed a finger at her again.
With such little room, she couldn't dodge the black beam that came from his finger, and immediately her wings started to slow, struggling to move as she fell to the ground.
With almost a dozen sets of hungry eyes staring at her, she suddenly really regretted the spell she'd put up to stop Kuro from teleporting out, not having time to remove the spell and escape herself as the hyenas cackled.
"This was kinda disappointing, but I guess you two are the bottom of the barrel," Kuro said with a shrug.
"W-wait, I didn't want to do this. Another fallen named Raynare ordered me to try and kill you!" Mittelt said quickly, tears stinging her eyes as Kuro stared at her with the same apathetic eyes. "I'm sorry, p-please don't kill me, I can make it worth your while!"
"Oh? Well, in that case. Isskeleton?" Kuro said, making her frown at the odd word before she heard the sound of something running towards her.
Turning, she barely managed to spot the skeleton leaping towards her before it brought its overly large hammer down on her head.
"Huh, she'll probably survive that, right?" Kuro muttered as her vision blackened and she slumped to the ground.
— Kuro —
I have to remind myself that these are the henchmen of a weak season one minor antagonist as I look over the pair of fallen fallen angels.
Sure, the hyena ambush caught them by surprise but really? That was it? They did kill one of my hyenas and unfortunately they use Light so it was reduced to ash but that was a pathetic showing.
Watching as one of my hyenas gnawed on the male Fallens arm (no longer attached to his body), I pause as I hear a groan of pain.
Wait, is he still alive?
"You guys are pretty durable," I say, looking down at the guy as he whimpers in pain, one of my pets still helping itself to his foot.
I could just kill them both, it's not like anyone could blame me for killing in self-defence right?
Oh who am I kidding, their faction would probably throw a bitch fit over it. That's fine, I have a master plan.
First things first, I stomp on his head a couple of times until he stops moving, I'm pretty sure he's still alive I just didn't want him conscious.
These guys really are pretty durable when it comes to physical damage, I'll have to keep that in mind.
The spells seem to still be in effect, so I have Isskeleton pick up the guy while I pick up the gothic lolita and carry them out of the building and start walking towards the forest.
It's a long walk (and I almost immediately just lay her on the back of a hyena because my E strength doesn't approve of being made to carry people), but the spells don't seem to cover that much space, and before long they fall anyway.
Thankfully, I felt them start to fall so I could hide my horde in an alleyway and immediately teleport us (and our new guests) into the dungeon.
Isskeleton did well but it's back to work for him as I build a new room, specifically a prison.
While he works, I spend some time stripping the pair (staring with the cute girl for obvious reasons), and wince at the vicious bite mark on her thigh, already secreting an ugly yellow puss thanks to the diseases my hyenas carry.
Stripping them down to their underwear, I pause for a moment before I steal their underwear as well, taking a moment to admire the girl's lithe body as I wait for Isskeleton to finish the prison.
The male is fucked up, dozens of bleeding and pus-filled bite marks covering his body (and the whole missing arm thing). I'm not sure he's going to survive either way.
Isskeleton is converting a room I already had him dig out, so it doesn't take long before I can shackle them to the walls and leave my hyenas watching them.
If they try to break free or use any magic, my hyenas are allowed to eat them.
As for me? My first harvest of mushrooms grew overnight thanks to dungeon bullshit, my favourite kind of bullshit, which means it's time for me to get to work.
— Mittelt —
Walking up to cold air on her body and something being forced down her throat, she immediately tried to fight off whoever was pouring something into her mouth, her eyes widening as she realised her arms were bound.
Spitting out the red liquid Kuro had been pouring into her mouth, she glared at him before he sighed.
"Really? If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't waste good poison. Be a good girl and drink your healing potion so you can stop bleeding on my nice clean dungeon floor," Kuro ordered.
Looking around, she spotted Dohnaseek chained to the wall opposite her with shackles around both his ankles and his singular wrist which was held high above his head, making her eyes widen.
He was alive? Aside from the missing limb, he looked in good condition as well.
She was in the same position, though she had two arms chained above her head, the nasty bite wound on her thigh making her wince painfully. She considered calling on her magic before she spotted the entire pack of hyenas sitting just outside the open cell door.
"He's telling the truth," Dohnaseek said quietly, making her pause before she opened her mouth and obediently let Kuro pour the tangy red liquid into it, watching in shock as her thigh slowly healed.
"There, that's better. Poor Isskeleton is going to have to clean up all this blood, now… let's talk about why I shouldn't let my lovely pets rip you two limb from limb."
Gulping at the smile on Kuro's face, she shared a glance with Dohnaseek as she tried to work out what she was supposed to say that didn't end with them becoming food for the cackling audience.
— Bonus Scene — Kokabiel —
The factions had grown so pathetically weak, this false peace had made them forget what made them strong.
Staring at the letter from the Sitri heiress in disdain, he crushed it and tossed it into the fire, it would never reach its intended recipient and she'd only helped his plans.
In the past, actions such as the ones he had Raynare and her group of fools doing would have led to a brutal retaliation, not a politely worded letter.
With Azazel seemingly ignoring both the Sitri's letter and Leviathan's own rather less polite letter, tensions between their race would worsen.
Azazel was a lazy fool, he'd been deserving of his position once but time had mellowed the once ruthless leader of the Grigori.
Eventually the game would be up and people would realise that Azazel hadn't been receiving many of the messages sent to him, that many of the orders that had been sent by him were fake, but by then it wouldn't matter.
Raynare was too power-hungry and eager to please to question 'Azazel's' orders, even when they went against Azazel's stated goals, so easily convinced that her leader trusted her with his secret plans.
She was a useful tool, desperate for approval and respect, while also being so weak that her actions didn't attract Azazel's attention.
Azazel was too busy with his little experiments to notice, too lazy, complacent and trusting of the other Cadres to feel the need to watch over them as he used to.
It had taken centuries of waiting and biding his time, finding other Fallen that felt like he did, planting them in positions where they could help him with his plans.
Even Azazel's assistant was one of his, helping make sure that tensions stayed high by misplacing letters from the other factions and falsifying orders to countless fools like Raynare.
The war would begin in earnest once more, and nobody could stop it.
— Kuro —
So, how bad of an idea would it be for me to find a way to get in contact with Azazel and go 'Oi dickhead, why are your people trying to kill me'?

I do not know why I am not happy this chapter.
Ree.
I am entirely motivated by praise and interaction, so leave a review and I’ll probably write faster.
I have a discord server (technically someone else’s but my name is on the server so it’s basically mine) with a bunch of other authors and a load of porn. Here’s the link for that: discord .gg/wd3tUYWVCd
I also have a bad P word that FF doesn’t like, what’s on it? Right now, nothing that you can’t find elsewhere and I don’t know if that will change to be honest, I don’t like the idea of paywalling content but I also like money to fund my pizza and games addiction, so here’s the link for that as well: Pat reon . com/TheDarkWolfShiro
