章 77: Chapter 77: Becoming Devil
Raynare's expression shifted from surprise to frustration, her violet eyes ablaze with fury. "You're not getting away that easily," she growled, raising her weapons once more.
But before she could make another move, a sudden burst of energy froze her in her tracks. I turned to see an exceptionally beautiful woman with crimson eyes and pale skin, her buxom figure clad in a flowing white dress. It was one of my vampire brides, summoned to watch over Issey.
Without even acknowledging Raynare's existence, the woman knelt before me. "Lord Alexander, Lady Issey is in danger. She's about to be killed by someone known as Mittelt," she informed me calmly.
I nodded, grateful for her timely intervention. Issey may have undergone a gender change, but she was still the protagonist of this world, and I needed to ensure her safety as she navigated the challenges of becoming a devil in Rias Gremory's Peerage.
As for Issey's fate, well, who was I to interfere with destiny? If she was meant to receive an upgrade, then so be it. Besides, it wasn't my place to stand in the way of her growth and development.
As for my grand entrance into Rias's household, well, that was a different story altogether. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of excitement at the prospect of making a memorable impression, but at the same time, I had yet to come up with a solid plan.
"Oh well," I thought to myself with a shrug, "Let's just go with the flow for now. After all, spontaneity is the spice of life, isn't it?"
Turning back to Raynare, who was still frozen in place, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity. She may have been a fallen angel with malicious intent, but even she didn't deserve to be ignored like this.
"Raynare, consider this your lucky day," I said with a smirk, addressing her for the first time since her failed attack. "You're going to work as a maid from now on."
Raynare's eyes widened in disbelief, clearly not expecting this turn of events. But before she could protest, I turned to my vampire bride. "Take her to my house," I instructed, confident that she would carry out my orders without question.
With that, I watched as Raynare was escorted away, her fate now sealed as she embarked on a new chapter of her life as my unwilling maid.
As for me, well, I had preparations to make for Issey's safety and my impending entry in front of Rias's. It was shaping up to be an eventful day, to say the least.

Issey
"Will you... die for me?" Mittelt asked, her gaze steady as she met Issey's eyes, her tone devoid of emotion.
Issey blinked in surprise, her mind struggling to process Mittelt's unexpected request. "Umm, what?" she stammered, feeling utterly bewildered by the sudden turn of events.
The question hung in the air, the weight of its implications sinking in as Issey tried to make sense of Mittelt's words. Was she seriously asking Issey to sacrifice her life for her? And if so, why? What possible reason could Mittelt have for making such a request?
"I said, will you die for me?" Mittelt repeated, her tone unwavering as she waited for Issey's response, her blue eyes piercing into Issey's with an intensity that sent a shiver down her spine.
Issey's mind raced as she searched for a suitable answer, her thoughts a whirlwind of confusion and fear.
On one hand, she wanted to refuse outright, to reject Mittelt's twisted request and distance herself from this dangerous person.
But on the other hand, she couldn't as she doesn't know what will Mittelt will do if she rejected her.
"I... I don't understand," Issey finally managed to say, her voice trembling with uncertainty. "Why would you ask me something like that? What do you want from me?"
Mittelt's patience seemed to wear thin, her demeanor shifting as she summoned a pink-colored holy weapon with a flick of her wrist. "It seems like you're taking too long to answer," she remarked coolly. "Well, it doesn't matter."
Issey's heart skipped a beat as she watched the weapon materialize before her eyes. Her instincts screamed at her to run, to flee from the danger that loomed before her. But her legs felt like lead, rooted to the spot as fear held her captive in its icy grip.
With a swift and merciless motion, Mittelt plunged the pink-colored holy weapon into Issey's chest, a cruel smile twisting her lips as she inflicted the fatal blow. Issey's body convulsed with pain, a strangled gasp escaping her lips as she collapsed to the ground, her world spinning out of control.
As Mittelt withdrew the weapon, leaving Issey bleeding and broken on the ground, she turned and fled into the night, her laughter echoing cruelly in Issey's ears. Left alone in the darkness, Issey's vision blurred with tears as she struggled to comprehend the betrayal she had just endured.
In her final moments, as the world around her faded into blackness, Issey's thoughts drifted to the red-eyed boy she had met at school.
She couldn't even ask what is the length of his rod was. And was he interested in making a harem.
Just as she about to die, a summoning circle activated.
Just as she was about to succumb to the darkness, a summoning circle suddenly activated nearby. From its ethereal depths emerged a stunning woman with crimson hair, her presence commanding and powerful.
"Did you summon me?" the crimson-haired beauty asked, her voice as melodious as a siren's song.
But no answer came from Issey's lips, for she was too weak to speak.
"It seems you're about to meet your end," the woman observed, her gaze piercing through the darkness as she surveyed Issey's broken form. With a graceful motion, she took a chess piece.
"This will give you a second chance," she declared, her voice resolute as she placed the chess piece on Issey's heart. "As my servant."
That's all Issey heard as she lost consciousness.
