NOVEL NEXT Chapter 14 – Controversy
“You’re correct, but not entirely, Riku-kun.” Said Rias while crossing her legs.
Hmm, it’s such a strange feeling to be called Riku-kun. All this time I’ve been called young master or just Riku by my old man, so it’s such a strange feeling to be called Riku-kun.
Somehow, after Rias call me Riku-kun, I felt cold air from my right and looked at Tsura. I saw her have displeased look and emit cold air from her body. I put my hand on top of her hand and she stopped emitting cold air as she looked at her hand.
The devils realize that and frowned, well there goes my plan to act like an idiot.
Rias has a smug smile on her face while I saw Sona has a small smile on her face.
‘Tch!’ I clicked my tongue in my mind that my plan to play with them had been for nothing and failed at my first move.
Well, I am not angry toward Tsura that made my plan fail, but I was a bit disappointed because I can’t play anymore in this meeting. I think she needs a bit of punishment? Right, she definitely needs to be punished for that~
“It seems that I don’t need to explain any further don’t I? After all you are sitting beside a supernatural entity like myself.” Said Rias in a haughty tone.
Yes, I don’t need you to explain it to me. I am half-youkai after all.
“I’m sorry, young master.” Whispered Tsura in a low voice that only I could hear her. I just held her hand tighter to show her that it’s okay before I pulled my hand and put them behind my head.
“You’re no fun~ I just wanted to play for a while. Well then, you can tell me your reason for calling us here, Kaichou.” Still smiling, I said to Sona in a calm manner.
They were confused when they are seeing my calmness. Maybe they thought that when they show me that they know my group, they could take the conversation in their favor.
Unfortunately for them, they don’t know me that well. I’ve always played around and didn’t care for anything unless it has some ties with me. And they don’t know, that I don’t take them seriously at this stage.
They are still weak, too weak for me to take them seriously. Maybe when Issei got his balance breaker I will take them a bit more seriously, just a bit more though.
“Well then, Nura Riku. I assume that you know about the Supernatural world, right?”
I am thinking about how to answer Sona’s question for a while. Whether I should jest around and make my way out or should I tell her flatly that I knew about the Supernatural world.
Both were a good option for me. If I jest around, I could enjoy watching their antics in this school but there is a chance they will force or ask Kuroka and Tsura to join one of their peerages.
If I answered her flatly that I knew about the Supernatural world, my guess is Rias would ask me to join her peerage, or rather that’s a certainty if I remember her personality correctly.
‘What should I choose~ I could always play if I jest around but Kuroka and Tsura will be monitored by them and that will be annoying. Maybe I should tell her flatly that I knew about the Supernatural world but hide my identity? That works too~’
I crossed my arms and looked at the ceiling with my eyes closed. If someone saw me, they would see me as someone who hesitated to answer Sona's question, and that works wonder because when I opened my eyes to look at them, Sona and Rias have a big smile as if their plan were a success.
I lowered my head and look at Sona's eyes with a smug smile on my face and said.
“What? Supernatural world? Do you still believe that something like that existed? Ghost is not real you know?”
When I said that, suddenly Rias and her peerage’s bat wings emerged from their back followed by Sona and her peerage.
I looked at Kuroka and saw her still kept her composure and looked back at me while tilting her head. Well, that’s cute but it’s not the time to admire it.
‘Now I was checkmated, is it the time to pull that?’
I looked at Tsura and winked my right eyes towards her. She was confused for a moment before putting out bad surprised acting.
“W-woah, w-what’s t-that?!” Said Tsura in monotone.
As expected, her acting is bad. Well, that’s my intention though, I could always act for Kuroka to act if I wanted a good actress.
Rias smirked in a haughty manner and said. “Cease your bad action, I know that the three of you are related or at least know about Supernatural.”
‘Nice! She bit the bait~’
“Heeh~ Is that so?” I put the same haughty act like her and put my legs on top of the table in front of me.
Sona and the rest of her peerage frown upon my act while I was waiting for a reaction that I hoped to come from Rias’s peerage.
“Hey! You handsome bastard! I won’t allow your attitude in front of Buchou! Put your legs down right now!!” Shouted Issei as he pointed her hand towards me.
I lowered my head a little to hide my amused smile and gestured to Tsura with my finger. Tsura saw my sign and let out a chilly pressure to intimidate Issei.
I peeked through my hair that hide my eyes and saw that everyone flinched and hug their body because of the cold that was emitted by Tsura. But their chill was only the beginning, they shuddered even further when they heard Tsura's cold tone.
“Will you shut up? My young master is talking with your King, know your place! I've been holding my anger towards your friend's attitude, but shouting at young master is unforgivable!"
With the devils shuddered under Tsura’s pressure, I raised my head and looked down on them with my eyes.
“Now, it’s my third time asking this but, what’s your purpose in calling us here?”
Now that the table of superiority has turned against them, the devils gritted their teeth in frustration as they keep silent from the question that I asked.
“If there is nothing that you wanted, we will take our leave.”
I put my legs back to the ground and stood up. Tsura and Kuroka silently follow me from behind.
I opened the door of the student council room by myself and stopped to look at the devils for the last time. I saw them looking down in horror while hugging their body.
‘It seems Tsura has gone too far to them. At least I have to let them know that we will not make any move towards them if they did nothing to us.’
“Don’t worry though, we are not your enemy.” I left that word to the devil and exited the student council room with Kuroka and Tsura.
‘Ah~ That was fun. The best way to answer is to not answer, what a genius move! I must thank my old man for this chance, it was rare for me to have this much fun in a day.’
