4 Chapter 4

"Do you like me?"

Rias was dumbfounded and at the same time embarrassed.

She imagined countless answers in her head, but in none of them did she think Akira would be so direct.

Besides, this had been the first time anyone had ever confessed to her in such a gentle way.

Usually the men who declared themselves to her, had lewd glances at her body and aimed at her status as an heiress which was a huge difference from the gentle look Akira had on his face.

'He was my enemy, but yet he is declaring himself?'

Unprepared, her mind went blank as she stammered, "How can you like me? You don't even know me properly."

'I don't know you? I probably know you better than you know yourself.'

Obviously Akira couldn't say such a thing, so he decided to run for insurance.

"Yes... how can I like you? You are the heiress of the Gremory clan a high class devil clan, you have indescribable beauty, and many people dream of making contact with you."

"As for me?"

"I'm just a low-class devil who belongs to a small terrorist group."

"How can a frog want to eat the flesh of a white swan?"

Akira's voice at this point was low and contained traces of self-deprecation.

His gentle eyes had already been replaced by a sad look.

Rias' heart faltered upon hearing what Akira said, she subconsciously said, "That's not what I meant..."

At this moment she was very confused.

Akira had done something out of bounds, which was to kiss her against her will. She knew that in theory she should hate him for doing that to her. But looking at his devastated appearance, she could not harbor any hatred in her heart.

Rias' emotions were not under control, causing an aura of the Power of Destruction to cover her, but this time it didn't seem to be of any danger to Akira.

After a few seconds she managed to control some of her emotions and said, "This is not a question about whether you are worthy or not, I just don't know the reasons why you like me? You and I, we live on completely opposite sides, you belong to a terrorist group that wants to cause chaos in the underworld, while I defend the current underworld. Besides I almost killed you before."

There was a constant friction between the two.

Everything Rias knew about Akira came from the intelligence of the Gremory clan.

A low-class devil who commanded a small group of terrorists who were intent on wreaking havoc in the underworld.

The reason for the friction between the two was mainly because of the mission issued by Sirzechs, otherwise she would never have had any kind of interaction with Akira.

"Don't you know me well enough, to realize that we are so different?"

"Rias Gremory, you like living in the human world, because there everyone sees you as Rias, and not as an heir to the Gremory clan."

"You are very kind to your servants, besides that you get angry when someone insults your servants."

"In addition, you are also a great otaku, something not many people know about this hobby of yours."

Hearing him speak, Rias can't help but be stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief, especially when she heard the last part about her being an otaku.

Everything Akira had said was right, there was nothing wrong or out of place.

Although a lot of these things are not secret, there is her hobby that not even her servants who were the closest people to her knew about, but the person in front of her understands very clearly.

Rias looked at Akira, puzzled by his words. "How can you know these things?" she asked.

Akira replied softly, "When you care about someone, it is natural to want to know everything about that person."

Rias's cheeks flushed and she held up her skirt, trying to disguise her shyness. Rias had never felt so vulnerable in front of anyone before, but something in the way Akira spoke to her made her feel safe.

It made her numb, lost, confused and shy without knowing what to do.

Meanwhile, Akira breathed a sigh of relief that his response had had an effect. He had risked confessing his feelings to Rias, and it seemed that his performance had reached the highest level, since Rias could not notice any flaws.

Although he is a low class devil, his appearance could be considered first class, moreover as he was still exhausted from his injuries, he had a pale appearance that easily aroused female sympathy and pity.

There are few people who would have the courage to hurt an emotionally wounded man.

Moreover, this man had been very sincere with his feelings!

Even the woman with the coldest heart in the world would melt at the end!

Rias was completely fooled by him, but it was still possible to see traces of hesitation on her face.

"If you like me so much, then why did you fight me everywhere we met?"

Akira sighed and said, "I belong to a terrorist group, I have no choice. Whatever the one above me says, I will have to comply. But although I belong to a terrorist group, I never hurt you."

Rias frowned.

'Come to think of it, all the times I fought him, I was always victorious, and never even suffered the slightest scratch.'

'So that's what he had in mind all this time?'

"I knew I would die, so I chose to die at the hands of you, Rias."

Akira's eyes had a glint in them, the corners of his mouth were curved upwards giving an extremely gentle smile that made him look pitiful given his pale face, "I may not be destined to be with you in this life, but at least I can offer my own life so that you can receive merits in the underworld."

Rias was stunned.

"I have always considered you an enemy, but have you always been thinking of my welfare? Even at the risk of being killed by me?"

Thinking of the smile Akira had at the 'end of his life', an arrow seemed to pierce her heart.

Taking a deep breath, Akira said, "I have already said everything that was in my heart, Rias you can finish your work..."

"Finish the job?" Rias regained her senses and asked.

Akira frowned and said, "Weren't you going to kill me?"

"..."

Rias hesitated.

According to the mission issued by Sirzechs, she indeed had to kill Akira, but after knowing about the other party's feelings, how could she do that?

She was even beginning to have doubts about Sirzechs' decision.

How could a man as gentle as Akira be a terrorist? This was surely some greater villain forcing poor Akira to be a terrorist.

At the same time that Rias was lost in thought, a sound sound sounded in Akira's mind.

[Change in the plot has been detected!]

[Host has just received 10 plot points].

[Please keep trying hard].

"Change in the plot?"

Akira almost did a back flip when he saw the system messages.

Initially he just wanted to save his life, but he didn't expect that he would get the jackpot.

Rias was the main female hero of this world.

Her every move, even her thoughts, could completely change the plot of this world. Making her a walking treasure for Akira.

"Damn, looks like I'm really going to become the 'Destined Villain' of this world." Akira thought with a silly smile on his face.
