Chapter 31: Gremory Peerage VS Sitri Peerage
Mitarai just feigned ignorance about the whole situation while some of the Occult Research Club members had jealous looks about what had most likely happened.
'They know nothing, they know nothing after all my job was to tame them and I did it,' Mitarai chanted while making sure to keep an eye on Asia in case she fell down or lost balance since her belly was still overflowing with his milk.
Rias Gremory was about to bring up an interesting topic until a new group of people came in.
Surprisingly, the Student Council also arrived to meet with the Occult Research Club. There were a lot of girls, but also a new member: Genshirou Saji.
Rias gave Mitarai and Asia the details on how the Student Council is also exclusively made up of devils, and everyone went to introduce themselves.
Saji Genshirou tried to introduce himself to Asia and charm her flirtatiously but she was too lost in thought after Mitarai had made her his; The Red Lustful Dragon Emperor also sent off a glare, making him back off and getting the girl's initial interest.
Unwilling to let go of the chance to give up who can go to the Familiar Forest, the King and Queen of each Peerage did a tennis match; the rule was no magic. Moreover, that rule was thrown out of the window as Kiba ended up holding broken tennis rackets with a grinning sigh.
After that game, they decided they wait and do another game. Meanwhile, Mitarai found himself sitting on a chair opposite Sona Sitri. In front of them was a chessboard.
"So why'd you invite me to play chess?" Mitarai asked.
Sona put forth a black and white piece. "Pick your piece first," she said, to which Mitarai chose the dark pieces; 'the color black worked with everything.' He thought.
"To answer your question, I was just curious and decided to check on Rias's new piece. How has the devil's life been treating you so far?" Sona asked curiously.
"It's been decent, so far. Doing the flyers was pretty boring. By the way, who starts?" Mitarai asked.
Sona waved her hand. "Beginners first," she said, watching Mitarai move his Pawn forward by one.
"And I can see how delivering flyers can be mundane, especially towards a mob boy such as yourself," Sona said chuckling, moving her Knight to the left.
Mitarai sighed. "Still can't help but dig at my past," he joked. "Well, I can't help it, but Rias hasn't been all that demanding. It's quite relieving." He added.
Sona nodded to that. "That's just the type of person she is. I'm sure Rias is treating you well, but she could be a bit stricter," Sona said.
The two of them continued forward their chess game while chatting about different topics.
Sona was impressed with the skill that Mitarai 'a newbie' was demonstrating, something she never would have expected from a guy like him.
In addition, she was right, Mitarai was practically relying on Ddraig throughout the whole experience. The wizened dragon guided him along every move and what and what not to do.
"And checkmate!" Those words did not come from Sona's match, as she was so used to doing.
Seeing someone having checked mated her made her eyes widen and her face flush. "D-did I just lose?" she muttered, her whole Peerage having shocked and gaping faces.
"Don't sweat it. You were really good. I just got lucky," Mitarai said, trying to cheer the girl up.
'She must be a pro to be this beaten up by it. To be fair, she did well considering she was facing up against Ddraig the whole time.' Mitarai thought smirking.
'She's really good. Was it really necessary to use me as the one playing? It counts as cheating,' Ddraig commented.
'It's not cheating if she doesn't know. Besides, it's not like this will have any big ramifications moving forward,' Mitarai thought, with Ddraig just hoping he was right.
Genshirou pointed towards Mitarai. "Did you cheat?! How did the President somehow lose to a guy like you?" he questioned.
"I got lucky, I guess. It's not like I have any way to cheat," Mitarai said laughing.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go check on some things!" Mitarai with these words left the scene and left everyone in shock.
'Fuck, I'm gonna fall for this mob for sure...' Sona thought blushing heavily.
It was late at night but the gym was still in use as the battle between the Gremory Peerage and the Sitri Peerage was well underway.
Due to Sona's Peerage having two more pieces than Rias, two of them were substituted off and used as referees.
Tsubasa flung the ball towards Koneko who bent down to dodge it but it still scrapped her shirt, which meant she was out, which Momo indicated with the wave of a flag.
'That sucks,' Mitarai thought. 'I definitely wouldn't want that to be the reason I lost. Not that I would want to lost.'
"Grief of Memories!" Tsubaki shouted, a blue aura surrounded as the blue aura continued along the ball and rocketed towards Rias.
The intensity of it caused some damage to Rias's clothes but it didn't matter as she caught it with two hands.
"Impressive for you to catch her throw, Rias."
Rias grinned back. "Who do you think I am?" she questioned, using her normal strength to throw the ball. Her eye glowed as a red circle with the Gremory insignia appeared right in front of the ball.
The result was a fiery ball that flew towards Tomoe. She tried to catch it but it burned up her clothes and she moaned out in defeat.
"What the fuck?" Mitarai muttered.
Reya tried to take care of Mitarai while he was distracted but he was on guard. Not that it would have mattered since Akeno jumped above and caught it.
"Watch out your back." Akeno said.
"As if!" he replied.
The battle continued as magic circles sparked and lit up the area. It would have been very confusing to anyone who was outside, especially when Tsubaki used her Grief of Memories and the ball crashed through the window.
"Dodgeball is really scary!" Asia commented.
Mitarai was grinning. "These people are crazy but this is fun!"
Sona held the ball in her hand. "President! We should get rid of that Mitarai guy!" Genshirou suggested, something which made Mitarai grin at.
Sona's eyes glistened as she couldn't help but agree. "Sitri-style Sinker Bomb Shot!" she shouted, raising her leg high, spinning around, and sending the blue ball towards Mitarai.
A familiar red gauntlet appeared on Takashi, and the dragon's powering-up mantra repeated as Mitarai awaited the ball to come to him.
"BRING IT!" He shouted.
Several eyes widened in surprise. "He's actually taking it on!" multiple of them said at once.
The force of the ball kept spinning and it was sending Mitarai back but he still managed to hold onto the ball. Steam came off his hands as he panted. "Gotcha!"
In battle mode, Mitarai's first devilish instinct was to throw the ball right to Genshirou's crotch, making him fall to the ground in defeat.
'My balls...' Genshirou thought, dropping.
Sona didn't take to this as she shot the ball towards Mitarai, but it never came to him and did a sharp turn and smacked Akeno in the back, making her moan and her shirt rip at the back. "Now that's one down."
Mitarai picked up the ball and smiled. "You may have taken her down but it's still 2 against 1. I'm going to beat you just like I beat you in Chess," he commented.
That obviously surprised a lot of the Occult Research Club members. "You beat Sona at chess?!" Rias asked blushing.
Mitarai nodded. "Yep, but that doesn't matter. Rias, I want to try something, but I need you to hold the ball as securely as possible. Trust me!"
"Oh, okay," she said, placing one hand on the top and the other on the bottom, creating a domain. "Like this!"
"Let's do this!" Mitarai shouted, the gem on the Boosted Gear glowing rapidly as the voice continued to boom throughout it.
A red and green aura grew around Mitarai as he continued to boost his power. 'This should be enough.'
'Such power,' Akeno thought with a blush.
"Is it ready?!" Rias asked amidst the loud noises the aura emitted.
Mitarai just nodded. "This might hurt!" he shouted, putting his left leg forward and following through with his right arm smacking the ball as hard as he could. Sweat slipped off him and shone in the air as he did.
'Can I even survive that?' Sona thought, her demonic power covering her but the combined boosts of the Red Dragon Emperor managed to overpower her and she was sent back as the ball continued to travel through the air and crash into the ground, broken wood around it and steam arising.
Momo blew the whistle. "Sona is out! The Gremory Peerage is the winner!" she declared, and then the Peerage began to walk off but not before Sona promising she wouldn't lose if it was a Rating Game.
Mitarai exhaled and inhaled heavily. "We won..." he muttered, dropping but being caught by the girls. They all congratulated him on his win.
"Well, let's go to the Familiar Forest!" Rias told them.
