章 121: Chapter 121: Getting Angry for Nothing
"You really have a lot of nerve standing in front of me after taking my servant into enemy territory," Rias said, her voice laced with anger.
She was clearly pissed about the fact that I had taken Issei to fight against the Fallen Angels. Her crimson hair seemed to almost flare with her fury, and her eyes bore into mine, demanding an explanation.
"Rias," I began, keeping my tone calm and measured, "I understand why you're upset, but it was a necessary risk. Issei is strong, and I even brought out her Sacred Gear potential. And as Issei might have already told you, it's Boosted Gear, not Twice Critical."
Rias's eyes narrowed. "You had no right to put her in that kind of danger, Alex. She's my responsibility."
"I know," I replied, holding her gaze steadily. "But Issei chose to come with me. She wanted to help save Asia, and she did an incredible job. We succeeded because of her."
"That's not the point!" Rias snapped, frustration evident in her voice. "You took her without my permission. You can't just make decisions for my servants like that."
I could see how serious she was, and frankly, she had every right to be. I had taken Issei into a dangerous situation without consulting Rias, and if the roles were reversed, I'd be just as angry.
But something was making me resist admitting my mistake. Was it pride? Maybe, but there was definitely something about Rias yelling at me that was getting under my skin.
It was my first time experiencing this.
"It's your mentality as a Vampire, Dear, which is making you feel like you're right even when you know you're wrong," Death's voice echoed in my mind.
"My mentality?"
"Yes, your mentality, Dear. Do you know how in the original story Ainz had emotional suppression? It's similar, but instead of emotional suppression, you were given the pride of a vampire and the wrath of your job class, Lord of Wrath, which makes you think you're right all the time."
"Interesting. So why am I only feeling this now?" I asked Death.
"Since your avatar became real, has anyone made you feel angered or made you feel like you were in the wrong?"
"No."
"Precisely."
"This is going to be a problem, right?" I asked, realizing that if I couldn't control my anger when someone told me I was wrong, it could be a serious issue.
"That's for you to decide. I can block that feeling and even end those emotions, but I suggest you need to control your emotions on your own. Patience is a virtue of the strong. Learn patience, Dear, and it will make you a lot stronger than you think."
I sighed, knowing an apology was in order.
"You're right, and I apologize for that," I said to Rias, my tone sincere despite my reluctance. "But I saw potential in Issei that needed to be unlocked. And she proved herself more than capable."
Rias crossed her arms and sighed. "I still don't appreciate being left in the dark. If you're going to involve my servants in your plans, I need to be informed. And as compensation for taking Issei without my knowledge, you will accompany me on a hunt for stray devils."
I raised an eyebrow. "A hunt for stray devils? Is that really necessary?"
"Yes," Rias said firmly. "You need to understand the consequences of your actions, and this will help you see things from my perspective."
I sighed again, feeling the tug of my vampire pride but pushing it down. "Alright, Rias. I'll join you on the hunt."
Rias nodded, accepting my agreement, and seemed to relax slightly. "Good. We'll leave tonight. Be ready."
Before she could turn to leave, I decided to bring up another important matter. "And speaking of important matters, I wanted to talk to you about Asia. She needs a place to belong, and I think she would fit well with your peerage."
Rias raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. "Asia? The girl you rescued? What makes you think she would want to become a devil?"
"She's been through a lot," I explained. "The church treated her poorly, but she has a kind heart and a lot of potential. She needs a family and a purpose. Your peerage can give her that."
"And she has a Sacred Gear, called Twilight Healing," I added.
Rias's eyes widened slightly at that. "Twilight Healing? That's a powerful Sacred Gear. If she joins my peerage, it would certainly be beneficial for all of us."
"Exactly," I said. "But more importantly, Asia needs a place where she can feel safe and valued. Your peerage can provide that environment for her."
Rias thought for a moment, her expression thoughtful. "I'll need to talk to her and explain what it means to become a devil. She deserves to make an informed choice."
"Of course," I agreed. "I wouldn't expect anything less. She's been through enough manipulation and deceit."
Rias nodded, her demeanor softening. "I'll talk to her this afternoon. If she agrees, I'll welcome her into my peerage."
"Thank you, Rias," I said sincerely. "This means a lot to her."
Rias gave a small smile. "I can see why you care about her. We'll do our best to make her feel at home."
With that, she turned and left, leaving me to reflect on the conversation. I had managed to control my pride and anger, and now Asia had a chance at a new life.
