Chapter 90 Rias’s First Kiss
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Rias gazed intently at Aki’s¹ face.
She had known for a long time that Aki had designs on her—or rather, that most men harbored those kinds of thoughts toward her.
But even so, she hadn’t expected him to come at her with such a blunt, high-stakes play under these circumstances.
Rias had originally intended to play matchmaker for Koneko and Aki; she never dreamed the sparks would suddenly leap to her.
After a long, heavy silence, she found herself unable to offer a reply.
Rias knew all about Aki’s “adventures.” She had seen him with her own eyes nearly reaching a point of “total union” with Himejima Akeno, not to mention the situation with Koneko that had just come to light.
But in her eyes, these weren’t deal-breakers.
The Underworld didn’t exactly run on a monogamous system.
She truly did have feelings for Aki, and the idea of surrendering her first kiss to him didn’t repel her in the least.
Yet, when she thought about the events waiting for her back home, Rias hesitated.
She wasn’t sure if she should drag Aki into her mess.
(Is it really too much to ask…?) Aki thought, a pang of disappointment hitting him as he watched Rias’s face shift through a dozen unspoken emotions.
”President, forget it. Just act like I never said anything,” Aki said, stepping in to shatter the stifling atmosphere. “And Koneko, I’m sorry.”
Koneko knew she didn’t possess the same magnetic charm as Rias, but being “passed over” right in front of her still stung. She felt a wave of both disappointment and genuine irritation. “Hmph!” The white-haired girl gave him a sharp, huffy glare before turning her head away to sulk in earnest.
Aki had never been one to hide his playboy tendencies, and Koneko was well aware of his messy entanglements with many girls. But feelings were feelings. Fortunately, the Youkai race also didn’t care for monogamy, so she didn’t have to dwell on it too much.
As Aki gave Rias an out, her heart felt a strange mix of relief and sudden emptiness. “Aki…” she murmured, her eyes lingering on his crestfallen expression.
”President, I’ll be going now.” Aki forced himself to reset. Even if she hadn’t said yes, she hadn’t said no—that was a win in his book. He’d just have to work harder to claim that first kiss next time.
”Wait…”
Just as Aki turned to leave, Rias found her voice.
He stopped in his tracks, but she found herself at a loss for words once more.
Looking at the beautiful, conflicted mask of her face, Aki rubbed his nose thoughtfully.
He might not have been an expert on “true love,” but after handling so many women, he had a decent grasp on reading the room.
Aki walked back to the desk, standing over the red-haired beauty as she sat in her ornate wooden chair. “President.”
”Yes?” Rias replied instinctively, tilting her head up to meet his gaze.
Locking onto those stunning emerald-green eyes, Aki leaned down without a hint of hesitation until the tips of their noses brushed.
His breath danced across her fair skin.
Rias’s steady breathing suddenly hitched; her long eyelashes fluttered, and her soft, Mana-rich body went rigid with tension.
After waiting for three seconds, Rias still made no move to pull away.
Aki decisively adjusted his angle.
While Akeno Himejima watched in shock and Koneko looked on with a mix of jealousy and fascination, he captured Rias’s lush, delicate lips.
”Mmph…”
Caught off guard by Aki’s sudden “ambush,” Rias’s eyes snapped wide.
A deep crimson flush bloomed across her white cheeks, lending a flash of innocent cuteness to her usually mature, seductive aura.
After savoring her soft lips for a moment, Aki’s tongue began to trace the line of her pearly white teeth.
Pinned by his shadow, Rias was completely defenseless.
She tilted her head back, her long, pale neck arching as Aki began a rhythmic dance of licking, sucking, and swirling.
Finally, her teeth parted with a soft gasp, and a series of low, enticing moans escaped her.
The sound of their tongues entangling filled the silent room, a wet, rhythmic cadence that made the air itself feel heavy.
Aki thrust his tongue forward, hooking her confused, silken tongue in a new wave of conquest.
A total novice to kissing, Rias had no idea how to respond.
She could only keep her mouth slightly parted, letting Aki’s tongue explore every corner of her mouth.
The sensation of her saliva being drawn away again and again left her head spinning, her cognitive functions slowly dissolving into a hazy blur.
He didn’t know how long the kiss lasted, but by the time he was done, her mouth held no secrets from him.
He had left his mark on every inch of her.
If he could have reached any deeper, he would have.
The intensity of the wet, deep kiss was enough to make Akeno and Koneko flush, their legs pressing together as a misty heat clouded their eyes.
”Nngh…”
With a long, lingering moan, Aki finally pulled away.
A thin silver thread of saliva connected them for a fleeting second before snapping.
He reached out, gently cupping Rias’s chin to ensure she didn’t accidentally bite her numbed tongue in her daze.
Gulping down fresh air, Rias slowly drifted back to reality from the intoxicating haze of their contact.
She tucked her tingling tongue back behind her teeth, her face burning as she shot Aki a glare of bashful fury.
”Fine! You can get lost now!” she snapped.
”The President keeps her word. You’ve had your reward.”
Seeing the faint glisten of moisture remaining on her lips, Aki felt a surge of triumph.
A deep, lingering sense of satisfaction filled his chest.
”President, whatever it is you’re worried about—give me a little time. I’ll fix it.”
Now that he was certain of her heart, Aki’s resolve was steel. No matter the obstacle, he wasn’t letting anyone else have her.
”Aki… you really are too smart for your own good.” Rias broke into a radiant smile, standing up to her full, statuesque height. “We have one year left. Is that enough?”
(One year… is it the Phoenix family engagement?) Aki didn’t know if Rias had just encountered the beginning of that drama, but he’d use it as his target. Regardless, it was a hurdle he intended to demolish. “Is a Demon King-tier power enough to settle your worries?”
”More than enough,” Rias said, dabbing the corner of her mouth. “Are you suggesting you can reach that level in just a year?”
”Maybe. I won’t know unless I try.” Aki shrugged, his expression carefree. “A man’s gotta have dreams, right? Otherwise, I’m just a body taking up space.”
Rias studied him intensely.
It seemed she had still underestimated the depth of the secrets Aki was hiding.
With a knowing smile from Aki, they both let the subject drop.
Rias sank back into her chair, pouting slightly.
”My tongue is completely numb. You’ve kissed women before—did you really have to be so aggressive?”
”I’ve kissed women, sure, but never one as captivating as you. I’ll be gentler next time.”
”Next time?!” Rias huffed. “Get out of here before I drag you to the training grounds to see if you’ve been slacking off.”
Aki’s face went pale. Being pummeled by Rias was not on his agenda. He was confident about the future, but right now, she’d still wipe the floor with him. “Understood! I’m leaving!”

Leaving the Occult Research Club building behind, Aki made his way across the campus. He had just received a message from Shinra Tsubaki, asking him to report to the Student Council office.
”Tsubaki-senpai, morning,” Aki said, closing the door and taking a seat next to her. “Does the President need me for something?”
Sona Shitori looked him over with a cool, calculating gaze. “Aki, where did Rias put her crest?”
”Back of my left hand.” Aki didn’t see any reason to lie. He channeled a bit of Mana, making the glowing sigil manifest to prove it.
”Then I’ll be putting the Sitri family crest on the back of your right hand.”
Sona’s voice was as calm as a still pond, but her words hit Aki like a thunderclap. He nearly fell out of his chair. Sona shot him a flat look. “Relax. Rias knows. She’s already agreed to it.”
Aki asked cautiously, “Does that mean I’m part of your Peerage now, too?”
”Yes. Rias tried the Evil Pieces on you, and so did I. We both failed. But if she can take you as a dependent, then I naturally can as well.”
Aki blinked.
They clearly had discussed this behind his back.
Rias and Sona had obviously cut some kind of deal while he was busy elsewhere.
Sona reached out and grabbed Aki’s right hand, her cool, soft palm pressing against his skin.
A faint blue, intricate pattern began to glow and etch itself into his flesh.
The process looked simple, but it was a high-level secret art reserved only for the heads of the Great Houses.
Anyone else would have to rely on the Evil Pieces to generate a crest automatically; only someone like Sona could imprint it with such direct, manual intent.
