Chapter 285 Peerage Slots
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Even though the “tsundere” trope1 might be considered a bit dated, Aki still found the golden-haired young lady with twin tails quite cute.
The Contract process went smoothly; Ravel, being a Pure-blooded Devil, didn’t require any form of Reincarnation.
Watching Ravel stand by his side with an eager expression, Aki offered a slight smile.
Since he had decided to assemble his own Peerage team, he wasn’t about to do it half-heartedly.
Giving the Queen piece to Ravel wasn’t a decision made lightly.
As the daughter of the Phoenix clan, Ravel’s potential was undeniable; it was just that she was still young and had always been hanging around under Riser Phoenix’s name, essentially coasting, which had prevented her from drawing any real attention.
With Aki’s guidance, coupled with a bloodline Talent exceptionally suited for Rating Games, Ravel’s eventual debut was destined to shock the crowd.
The “Undying Queen” would be the third in the younger generation to hold a title, joining the Lightning Shrine Maiden and the Bomb Queen.
There was even a realistic chance she might one day succeed Grayfia as the strongest Queen.
However, compared to those future prospects, the most important thing about Ravel becoming Queen right now was her ability to utilize the Phoenix clan’s heaven-defying Talent for rebirth through flames.
In a sense, the Queen represents the status of a wife. By accepting this role, the shy, golden-haired twin-tailed young lady finally had an excuse to accept Aki.
Still, Aki decided to wait a while.
Ravel was only sixteen, and she hadn’t properly focused on her Cultivation before. She possessed excellent talent, but currently, she was only at the peak of A-rank, still short of the strength required for a “High-Class Devil”—the S-rank.
Breaching that barrier wouldn’t be difficult for her, and Aki planned to wait until she succeeded before making his move, ensuring the effects of their first Dual Cultivation would be maximized.
Of course, beyond that, the main reason was simply that he was pressed for time.
One way or another, due to Katerea’s incident, he had spent nearly ten days in the Kuro Room. After receiving the Evil Pieces, he still needed to properly comfort the many girls.
…
After school, Amano Yuuma (Raynare) and the others learned about the Evil Pieces and Ravel becoming Aki’s Queen.
”Yuuma, if you all want to go to Aki’s side, just go. There’s no need to overthink it,” Rias said, smiling at the three Fallen Angels, who looked like they had something on their minds but couldn’t bring themselves to say it. “Though, if you do, you’ll essentially be demoting yourselves in the lineage.”
The so-called lineage is similar to a human family tree.
Rias is a King, and since she isn’t part of someone else’s Peerage, she is the source of that lineage.
Below her are Aki and the others in her Peerage.
Once Aki acquired the Evil Pieces, he also attained the status of a King, and the Peerage he recruited naturally fell under his command.
If visualized, Rias would be in the first column, and Aki and Himejima Akeno would be in the second.
The members recruited by Aki, such as Ravel, would be in the third.
However, the lineage doesn’t dictate status, nor does it have any practical significance. Even if they dropped from the second column to the third, it wouldn’t have any impact on Amano Yuuma (Raynare) and the other two.
Rias said this intentionally to ease the heavy atmosphere.
Amano Yuuma (Raynare) and her group did want to go to Aki’s side. While Rias had been very good to them, they always felt that something was missing.
But because Aki hadn’t brought it up, they felt embarrassed to ask.
It didn’t matter for them, but it was troublesome for Rias.
If eight Pawn pieces resigned at the same time, it wouldn’t be easy for Rias to replenish them overnight.
It would be fine if there were no Rating Games, but if one were to occur, losing nearly half her combat power would be a significant issue.
Rias could see their intent. In her view, as long as Aki was around, it was impossible for anyone among their peers to defeat her in a Rating Game.
Amano Yuuma (Raynare) and the others looked at each other. Although they felt a bit guilty toward Rias, they realized they truly wanted to be by Aki’s side.
When Aki was lying in the arms of the Takamine mother and daughter that night, he was stunned when he learned of this through the Soul Network.
Aki thought to himself, ‘Why on earth would they specifically want to transfer to my command? Apart from the nominal change, does it have any impact on how everyone interacts and lives at present?’
He didn’t understand, but he was shocked.
Fortunately, Amano Yuuma (Raynare) and the others hadn’t officially resigned yet; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to stop them in time.
Since both Amano Yuuma (Raynare) and Rias were in the Soul Network, Aki immediately created a group and stated his position on the matter.
He didn’t even have the heart to respond to the constant demands from Miyajima Sakura and the Takamine daughters, as well as the other Hentai Heroines—he simply lay back and let them move on their own.
As for who would win the “Great Dragon,” that was entirely up to their luck; the others would just have to comfort each other or try to relieve their frustration by rubbing against Aki.
Aki messaged: “Rias, Yuuma, I’ve already made arrangements for the Evil Pieces on my end. It’s fine, don’t stir up trouble.”
Rias replied: “Oh? Is that so? I don’t really mind; I was just going along with Yuuma.”
Rias added: “As long as you and Yuuma have talked it out, it’s fine.”
Ding, Rias has left the chat group.
Rias slipped away immediately after stating her position; she really didn’t care.
Pieces can be replaced after someone resigns, though it takes time to recreate them.
Amano Yuuma (Raynare) responded: “…”
Amano Yuuma (Raynare) messaged: “You Scumbag!”
Amano Yuuma (Raynare) was a bit angry, feeling that Aki no longer cared about them.
Aki could have many women, but he couldn’t stop caring about them—that was her bottom line.
A woman’s mind is strange, and a female Devil’s mind is even stranger.
Aki sighed and had to explain: “Aren’t you all going to sign the Soul Contract? Why do you still care about a Peerage position? Putting yourselves through all this fuss serves no purpose other than making things awkward with Rias and the others.”
The Soul Network fell silent, and it wasn’t until Aki couldn’t help but call out to Amano Yuuma (Raynare) that the Fallen Angel’s hesitant voice finally sounded again.
”Sorry…, I forgot about the Soul Contract.”
Now it was Aki’s turn to be speechless.
”Alright. Besides, I’ve already made plans regarding the pieces, so let’s leave it at that. Make sure to tell Rute and Vana.”
Cutting the connection, Aki looked toward the bright moon outside the window. He would contract Rute and Vana on the next full moon to keep them from overthinking things.
”Master Aki~”
Following the seductive call, the silver moonlight was obscured by pale, flushed, beautiful flesh. Shinomiya Natsuha’s erotic body was displayed, completely naked, before Aki’s eyes.
Grabbing the schoolgirl’s round, long, Black silk stockings-clad legs, Aki pulled her directly toward him, sticking out his tongue to lick the flushed, Spring Water-drenched Flower Valley.
”Ah… mmm……”
After a short cry, the young lady groaned in relief, her beautiful eyes completely occupied by pink, peach-shaped hearts.
Seeing this, Nanao Akane, who was straddling the Great Dragon with her back to Aki, was not to be outdone. She began to sway her round, snowy-white, fair buttocks even more vigorously.
With every rise and fall, she tried to swallow at least half of the head into her Flower Palace (Hanamiya).
If swallowing the whole thing weren’t too stimulating—preventing her from continuing her rhythmic movements—she would definitely have gone all the way in every time.
Enjoying the warm, soft sensations coming from all over his body, Aki finally found his interest piqued.
The lingering desire to remain pure and ascetic, which he’d had after his closed-door Dual Cultivation session with Katerea, had finally dissipated.
Dual Cultivation with the Hentai Heroines offered him almost no growth anymore, but the atmosphere of the group encounter always made him feel exceptionally stimulated.
In particular, the Hentai Heroines were genuinely erotic and seductive when it came to lovemaking, allowing Aki to experience a different kind of pleasure and satisfaction each time.
The next day.
Aki called the Naruse sisters to the Occult Research Club and spoke about the Evil Pieces.
”Mio, and Maria, I want you to become my Peerage members.”
Facing Aki’s invitation, the Succubus loli maintained her usual attitude: everything would follow whatever Dear Mio decided.
Naruse Mio hesitated for a moment. This time, she didn’t refuse, though she followed her usual habit of being a bit “tsundere.”
”I’m just agreeing because you’re short-handed. Don’t think for a second that I’ll call you ‘Master’.”
Aki offered a faint smile at this, teasing, “If you’d like, I could call you ‘Mio-sama,’ just like Maria does.”
Naruse Mio flushed a deep red, her small feet in round-toed leather shoes moving as if to stomp on Aki.
After playing around for a while, Aki took out the pieces and let them choose their favorite roles.
The red-haired, twin-tailed, large-breasted schoolgirl looked them over carefully, her brow furrowing.
”Aki-ni, where’s the Queen?”
Aki blinked his eyes. “The Queen piece has already been taken by Ravel.”
The young lady’s delicate, adorable cheeks gradually puffed out, and even the look she cast toward Aki turned unfriendly.
”So we weren’t the first, then. Seems you’re not that desperate for people after all.”
