46 Chapter 46 Rias kissed him again

Akeno giggled as the [Queen] stood up.

"This is all touching but it's my turn now, Rias. So if you could let me."

The [King] obeyed and Issei was ready to go. Sparring with the two most popular girls in school, many guys would love to be in his shoes. And he loved being in his.

So when Akeno ran up to him, Issei wrapped his arms around her waist and slammed her to the ground.

There was no reason to play gently.

Riser's Peerage wouldn't be going easy on them either.

The days had gone fast by that point and Issei couldn't be happier with the progress that each one of the group had gone through.

For some reason, his Fallen Angels had now all four wings while the Peerage of Rias had also seen great improvement.

Asia, cute little thing, had already worked her way up to them and she could handle healing. There was more that she could do with her [Sacred Gear] but Issei found that what she could do at that point had to suffice.

Koneko was nearly the same speed as Kiba and Issei felt that she had gotten closer to him during their training. When things worked out, he would be there to help her out. She would give Riser's Peerage a serious amount of trouble.

Kiba had learned to throw his Swords and while Issei doubted that he could ever beat the chivalry out of him, Kiba should pray that he would be the one who did that. But Issei began to grow fond of that [Knight]. Whenever they would train, he could keep his emotions in check. So Issei could see how this would work out.

Akeno and Rias had seen the biggest changes in their training. Akeno had learned to use all attributes of the [Queen] Piece, not just the [Bishop]. She hit as hard as Koneko and was getting to the speed of Kiba. Although she preferred to use other techniques than her fists.

Rias' own power would come through later. But Issei found that he could wait on that later.

In the end, it came down to him in this match.

He was Rias' solution, her key to survival and freedom.

And Issei found no issue with playing that part of her savior.

As long she would keep in mind what it meant for him.

The house has a small pavilion where Rias had taken up residency.

He found it most peculiar that she was reading a book at this hour.

Or most likely, she was reading that book before she fell asleep.

So he walked over to her and sat down next to her. Softly shaking her at the shoulder was enough to bring Rias back awake.

"I'm up!" She clearly had been awake for too long.

"Not sure if that is so good, right now." Without even asking, he lifted Rias up while he sat down. His own body heat warmed her chilly body up.

The nightgown she wore and the panties she had on barely would suffice against the cold. The effects of a warm rock pressed against her body had the noticeable effect that Issei was so much hoping for.

"You need sleep. So do we all. The Rating Game is tomorrow and if you're not up to snuff, we are going to suffer for it tomorrow. All our hard work would be ruined." The tone had just the right amount of understanding and admonishing.

"I know but I can't help it. There is a lot at stake for me. It's a whole different thing than a Stray Hunt."

She turned to face the man that she grew fond of.

"It's because of who he is. Riser Phenex shares the same attribute as the Phoenix. An immortal bird that can regenerate any wounds that he receives. Plus, his track record is eight wins and two losses. Two of which he gave away."

Tapping her on the nose, she found Issei's friendly smile in front of her. It relaxed her a bit while Issei's eyes studied her.

"Rias, if there's one thing I have learned, it's this. Nothing is invincible. If something seems, looks, or behaves invincible, it just means that someone hasn't figured out a way to defeat it yet. Plus, Riser is also a Devil, right?"

"Yes."

"I got a Holy Sword, etched up my arm. That will do him in. Although part of him wants to beat the shit out of him, pardon my language, just to see how far I can push it." Kissing him, Rias began to like that even more.

"Thank you, Issei. But my parents could see this as ending in a loss for me."

"I will be there to prevent that. Though, there is more why you hate the idea of getting married to him besides the fact that he turned his Peerage into his personal whorehouse."

Rias nodded to him.

"I'm the daughter of the Gremory House. I'm its heiress after my older sister became Satan. No one sees the Rias that I am as a girl. In the world of Devils, I'm always Rias Gremory. I'm proud of my name but I am never treated like a girl. I want to find someone who sees me for me."

Issei tried to get the smile off his face but found that impossible.

"And at school, you found me by some sort of miracle and got a Dragon courting you who sees you for you. Cause I don't see you as an heiress. What I have in my lap, is a girl that I am growing fond of and maybe I can love in a way that she wants."

Rias kissed him again while she felt warm by him.

"I think you described the way how I see you, Issei. Although I do have to ask. Wouldn't it be easier to soil me?"

Issei shook his head while his face turned as serious as during their training.
