Chương 39: Chapter 40: Decision Part 2 [Semi-R18+]

The Kuroka incident seemed to have hidden motives, but Qingqiu couldn't recall them. Moreover, this world wasn't exactly like the original DXD. Blind faith in memory was unwise. Qingqiu dared not rely solely on his recollections.

After Himejima Akeno's detailed explanation, Qingqiu felt reassured. "Akeno-senpai... I'm willing to become the President's servant."

After careful consideration, Qingqiu decided to accept Rias's invitation. Currently, this was the most advantageous choice for him. Future risks and challenges would be manageable if he grew strong enough quickly.

"But I have two conditions."

Hearing Qingqiu agree, Himejima Akeno was pleased. Though a bit of a playboy, he wasn't a scoundrel, and sincerity could be reciprocated.

"What conditions?" Himejima Akeno's eyes narrowed, teasing, "Is it to do some adult things with me?"

Qingqiu's eyes lit up, "Is it too late to have three conditions now?"

Himejima Akeno rolled her eyes, "Too late."

"What a pity."

Setting aside his regretful expression, Qingqiu continued earnestly, "My first condition is that I hope my private life won't be interfered with."

Himejima Akeno put away her smile, puzzled, "Aren't the President and I enough for you?"

Qingqiu shook his head, "It's not about quality."

Although he was tempted by Rias's talents and body, being upfront was the best approach. Otherwise, any future affairs outside could lead to awkwardness.

While slightly uncomfortable, Himejima Akeno was curious about Qingqiu's insistence on quantity. Though curious, she refrained from probing too deeply. After all, everyone has secrets.

"And the second condition?"

"It's not quite a condition; I just don't want to use the Pawn piece."

Without a Sacred Gear in his body, Qingqiu likely wouldn't need all eight Pawn pieces. If there were future servants, both being Pawns... For females, it was fine, but for males, it might be unsettling.

In truth, Qingqiu hoped Rias's future servants would all be female. However, he lacked the authority to make such requests now, and expressing it would only alienate Rias and her group.

"Yes, I can agree to these two conditions."

Regarding servants' private lives, Rias never planned to interfere. However, whether Qingqiu and she would continue to develop was uncertain. While a playboy might be appealing, for a lifelong partner, more consideration was needed.

As for the second condition, after discovering Qingqiu's combat talent, they planned to use the remaining Rook piece for him.

Himejima Akeno clapped her hands, "Then it's settled. I'll contact the President, and we'll proceed with the ceremony."

Qingqiu shrugged, indifferent. Having made his decision, he wouldn't waver. With a flyer depicting a magic circle in hand, Himejima Akeno infused it with magic. As the flyer began to burn, a red-black magic circle unfolded in the air.

Himejima Akeno closed her eyes, focusing as she established contact with Rias through the magic circle.

The magic seemed to be some sort of mental communication, as Qingqiu observed Himejima Akeno standing silently, her demeanor serious.

After a moment, the magic circle dissipated, and Himejima Akeno exhaled softly, relaxing her stance.

"All set, the President and Koneko will return once they finish their assignment."

"Alright, Akeno-senpai, since I've agreed to become the President's servant..." Qingqiu stared at her petite pink lips and said seriously, "Isn't it time to fulfill your promise?"

Himejima Akeno was momentarily taken aback, following Qingqiu's gaze before remembering what he referred to.

When she and Shinra Tsubaki were tasked with recruiting Qingqiu, their relationship had quickly warmed. They had held hands and even touched each other's chests, but whenever Qingqiu tried to kiss her, she refused. The more he wanted it, the more she denied it, using it as leverage to persuade him to join the Occult Research Club and become Rias's servant.

"Oh my..." Himejima Akeno's lips twitched, feigning amnesia. "Little Aki, what are you talking about? I don't recall any such promise."

Qingqiu wasn't deterred—his internal desires might be on hold, but securing an incomplete talent was a good start. "Akeno-senpai, could it be your first kiss is still intact?" Qingqiu teased, "Are you afraid? If so, just admit it, and I'll understand."

Himejima Akeno's expression shifted uncertainly, as her first kiss was indeed unclaimed, but she couldn't bring herself to admit it. She felt that conceding would shatter her image as a mature and cunning older sister and leave her with a reputation for breaking promises. No doubt, Qingqiu would keep bringing it up to tease her.

"Speak up, Akeno-senpai," Qingqiu continued with a playful tone. "Why so quiet? Did I hit the nail on the head?"

Himejima Akeno gritted her teeth, annoyed. This pesky little pervert had just mentioned flirting with other girls but now wanted to kiss her... Seeing her silence, Qingqiu kept at it.

"Sigh, who would've thought the famous Akeno..."

"Fine, I agree." Himejima Akeno cut him off with a glare. "Hurry up and kiss, you don't want the President and Koneko to see, do you?"

Is it that I don't want to be seen? Well, maybe a little. But you're the one who really doesn't want to be seen, right?

Having achieved his goal, Qingqiu refrained from further teasing. He confidently stepped forward, pulling her slender waist into his embrace. His hands slipped under her skirt, one moving up, the other down, each knowing its task.

His warm palms glided over her cool, smooth skin, causing Himejima Akeno to clench her thighs, glaring at Qingqiu playfully. She had only promised a kiss, not a full-on grope session. Qingqiu chuckled, pretending not to notice her gaze. Seeing this, Himejima Akeno pinched him in mock irritation but let him continue. After all, they'd tried similar things before, so this wasn't a big deal.

As Qingqiu's hand ventured into the valley and onto her full chest, Himejima Akeno finally felt the urge to stop him. Her lips parted, but before she could speak, his warm lips captured hers.

"Mm... mmm..."

His eager tongue slipped in, entwining with hers, melding into a passionate dance. Words of protest turned into ambiguous whimpers. Qingqiu continued his assault, laying Himejima Akeno back on the couch. He gently undid her uniform buttons, letting her shirt hang loosely on her fair shoulders. Underneath her purple lace lingerie, her ample bosom threatened to spill out.

His hands moved lower, sliding her red pleated skirt down her smooth black stockings to the carpet. The matching purple lace panties bore a darker stain at the center.
