CHAPTER 11

-

While sleeping soundly in his room (Asia's room is just next door), he suddenly woke up to the crazy amount of demonic power that reeked from next door.

Instinctively, he grabs onto Junkyard Dog MK III that was leaning on his bed frame before getting up. That was when he remembered the plot.

"... Right, Rias asking Issei to take her virginity. Then Grayfia would restrain Rias before they leave."

You know, one may think not to leak so much demonic energy in a residential area, but hey, at least he was the one who wasn't.

Grumbling for the sudden awakening, he facepalms when suddenly he felt something move in his bed covers.

Blinking in confusion, he pulled the cover off to reveal Asia sleeping soundly, causing his brain to freeze in place, dropping the Junkyard Dog. (Thankfully, it has an antigravity mode to never drop to the ground unless he willed it.)

Staring at the sleeping Asia for a moment longer, he realized that he wasn't going to deal with this now, this situation was for future Sin to handle.

... He wasn't running away from this, this was just a tactical retreat for now.

Replacing the covers of his bed gently to not wake Asia up, he leans back onto his bed before knocking him out with a neat sleeping magic to keep him asleep for his nightmares.

Waking up, Sin, in his hazy mind state, moved to grab the covers of the bed, when he felt that his arm was occupied currently. Looking down in confusion, he groaned when his mind sobers, remembering the dilemma that he faced just last night.

Asia, in her pajamas, was hugging onto his hand as if it was a bolster, letting him feel her curves easily without any imagination to his head.

... God, help him.

He tried to move her, but her hold on him was tighter than he thought. And the movement of his hand caused her shirt to slightly drop, giving him a front view of her perky small breasts —

SLAP!

Slapping himself hard with his free hand, he breathed in deeply to calm himself before deciding what to do now. It would feel really indecent to touch her currently since her oversized t-shirt (Hold up, that was his shirt! So that’s where his spare shirts were…) was barely hanging on her shoulder.

Deciding to just go with it, he uses his other hand to shake her awake, ignoring the subtle feeling of her breasts squeezing on his hand.

“Princess… Please wake up… For both our sakes…”

He whispers the last part as Asia finally woke up. Rubbing her eyes and yawning, she stares at him before smiling.

“Good... Yawn... Morning, Mr. Sin.”

“Can I know why you’re even on my bed?”

“I-I… It’s because… Auuu… I couldn’t s-sleep well at night!”

She said with embarrassment as she starts explaining that she would hug her fellow nun in the church to sleep, causing Sin to breath in relief.

Thank god, he honestly thought that she was hinting something at him... He feels like something is missing though...

“Ah… Then you can sleep with me then. I swear I won’t touch you at all.”

He said with uncertainty when Asia beamed up in delight, with her ignoring the pumping heart that was beating vigorously and the guilt in her chest at her successful lie.

“Gremory-san, a word?”

Once his class was done in 3-A (This was extra classes for the Year 3 students, Asia was waiting for him in his office), he called Rias who followed him to an isolated classroom.

Seriously, this school had too many empty classrooms, too rich indeed.

“Yes, Kiske-sensei?”

Taking a seat on one of the tables, he asked his question.

“Are you alright? You looked really down today.”

Rias gave him a fake smile.

“It’s nothing, sensei.”

“… Hey, you know you can tell me anything right? Attorney-Client Privilege.”

He joked with a salute as Rias giggled, her expression now more natural. Well, at least she had a genuine smile now, even if it was weak as hell.

Sure, he knows what was happening, Phenex. But still, she was his student. Not only that, having your life ending event suddenly bringing forward when you were supposed to have more time to prepare would crush any teenager, even a devil.

“… What would you do if you were stuck in a marriage contract that was suddenly brought forward, sensei?

And you hate the person that you were contracted with because he is a playboy who thinks of girls as trophies, but you have to go with the contract anyways because if your family image…”

Hearing this, his expression changed from his joking mode to serious mode. Humming in thought, he gave her his advice.

“I won’t ask about this question further since this is a sensitive topic for you, but if it was me, I would ask my parent to reconsider. If that doesn’t work, I would ask anyone close to both me and my parents to persuade them.

And if that doesn’t work either, then I will get myself out of the contract, even if I was destined to lose the fight, I am going to do my best to crawl out of that marriage contract.”

Giving her the advice, he took out a normal phone (CelestPods are celestial tech, so he had to get a normal phone to not raise suspicion.) before handing it to her along with his earbuds.

“Sensei?”

“Here, listen to this.”

Tapping into his Guilty Gear -Strive- playlist, he finds the song before playing it.

"The song's rock, but focus on the meaning of the song, especially the chorus."

After the song ends, she takes off the earbuds, now with a determined face.

"Thank you, sensei. I now know what to do."

She stood up before bowing in respect before walking out of the room. But before she exited the spare room...

"Go get them, tiger!"

Man, his therapy skills were amazing. He should change profession and just play Guilty Gear songs to motivate people, Michael knows Daisuke is godlike being when it comes to emotional music.

Seeing that Issei wasn't in class made him realize that the training arc was finally underway. That meant that his appearance was finally about to happen. But for now though, he had to find where in the world were the ORC since they didn't use a magic circle at all.

Good news, he planned trackers on both Issei and Rias (Issei since forever, and Rias just recently when he had the chance), so he just had to track them manually.

Bad news, he had only 9 more days to complete his projects. Making a magical artifact was harder than one might think. And the difficulty to sneak into the mansion that they were currently staying without setting any alarms was a hard task.

Luckily, he was a miracle worker, so he should be done a day or two before the Rating Game using the Gravity Mantle's ability to be able to wield Asuka's magic expertise... Maybe.

For now though, he was going to ask the Student Council to help Asia with her "too innocent" problem. Hopefully they could help him with this dilemma.
