224 Chapter 224

Sona looked slightly taken aback at my introduction. "Wait? My beauty? You weren't talking about Rias and Akeno?" She asked me…hopefully? Her tone, at least, had a tinge of hopefulness to it. I was sensing a small inferiority complex here. I remember that being a thing in the show. She was always jealous of the other girls in the show if I remember correctly. 

"Of course I was talking about you, Ms Sitri. I can honestly say that you're one of the most beautiful girls I've seen in my entire existence. Goddesses are included in that list I would like to point out." I told her.

[Laying it on a little thick there host…]

I wasn't being dishonest here. Not every single girl I flirted with had to be a buxom beauty…that's just how it had worked out so far. 

Sona actually started blushing profusely after I spoke again. "Is that so…" She trailed off cutely and fidgeted in place. "You are also quite good loo–"

"Sona-kaichou! Don't flirt with the enemy!" Akeno blurted out and cut her off.

"Sona! I know you're a hardcore closet lesbian, and this Fallen Angel here is drop dead gorgeous, but snap out of it!" Rias berated her friend.

Sona sputtered cutely. "I'm not a hardcore lesbian!" She retorted.

Rias raised an eyebrow at Sona. "Uh huh. Your entire peerage is made up of pretty girls… None of them besides your Queen even have a Sacred Gear. You picked them for their looks." She explained.

"And what about your peerage, you otaku!? You have a loli catgirl, a time stopping vampire, and a blond knock off of Emiya Shirou with a tragic backstory to boot!" Sona retorted.

[Damn! She hit Rias right where it hurts there…]

Rias sputtered in indignation. "That's… That's all pure coincidence!" 

[Was it though?]

Rias and Sona started bickering back and forth. Akeno and I looked on as they argued with each other. "Do we stop them?" I asked her.

"Don't talk to me…" Akeno replied harshly and turned her head away. "They'll stop in a minute or two." 

Despite her saying that, they did not stop in a minute or two. They just kept on going. 

"I'm not a closeted lesbian and I don't secretly hoard episodes of my sisters show!" Sona declared loudly.

"I literally found autographed copies of Magical Girl Levia-tan hidden under your bed during our sleepover last year! A sleepover where you cuddled up against me quite closely I might add." Rias responded smugly. She folded her arms under her boobs and pushed them up slightly. 

I didn't miss Sona's eyes immediately wandering to them before she blushed and looked away. Rias's closeted lesbian statement was pretty much confirmed at this point. No wonder Saji never had a chance…

Sona blushed again in embarrassment. "Y-yeah? Well at least I didn't secretly spend all of my food money on anime figures and then lie to your peerage members about your parents not sending enough money for food last month! You're welcome for when I lent you some of mine by the way!"

Akeno joined in upon hearing that. She was frowning at her King. "Rias? Tell me you didn't! Poor Koneko was sad when she couldn't have her third dinner every night because we had to budget!" 

It was Rias's turn to sputter with embarrassment this time. 

At this point, we were obviously making quite a large scene. All the schoolgirls, who STILL weren't in class for some reason, were gossiping about all of us. Quite loudly I might add.

"Oh my gosh! Rias-oneesan is an otaku? That's such an amazing gap! I love it!"

"Sona-kaichou is a lesbian!? …Do you think I have a chance with her?"

"Step on me, Akeno!"

…Ok, that last one was actually a random boy. Possibly one of the perverted trio, but I didn't bother giving them a second glance. 

I cleared my throat loudly to get the three Devil's attention. "Maybe we should take this conversation somewhere else?" I suggested to them. 

"Here's your tea. I would have spit in it, but you degenerate Fallen Angels tend to like that kind of thing." Akeno said as she harshly placed a tea cup on the table in front of me. She harrumphed and sat down next to Rias and Sona on the couch across from mine. 

I took a second to sip the tea while looking around the Occult Research club room. It was actually a pretty fun looking room. I could see that Rias didn't skimp on the entertainment systems or board game collections. She had almost everything in here. 

The last time I was in here, on Earth DxD, I was fighting Grayfia for my life and didn't notice most of this.

"So what brings you to our territory, Fallen? And are you with those other four Fallen Angels that recently moved in?" Rias asked me. Her tone was a lot more composed than her display earlier.

"Those four idiots? No, I'm not with them. I'd appreciate it if you don't kill them, but if they start causing tons of trouble, then feel free to. They're basically rogues here under the order of Kokabiel." I said to Rias and Sona. I could only save Raynare in so many universes before it started getting old…

Sona looked intrigued. She pushed her fake glasses up to reflect the light. "Oh? Is there a power struggle in the Grigori?" Sona asked, fishing for information. 

"Was that a spell?" I asked her bluntly. Attempting to catch her off guard. 

Sona paused. "Was what a spell?" She asked me while tilting her head.

"Your glasses just now. They shined brightly against the light, but the lights are all dim in this room…for the ambiance I assume?" I said to Sona and then Rias.

Rias nodded while smirking at Sona. "Yep! I like keeping my club room dark and mysterious. As for Sona's glasses thing…Yep she uses a spell to make them shine whenever she pushes them up! She practiced the pose in front of a mirror for months to make herself look cool and smart!" Rias explained and sold out her friend with no hesitation.

Sona blushed at me before turning to her friend with a glare. "You promised to never tell anyone that!" She turned back to me and pointed her finger at me. "And you! Layla of the Fallen! Don't avoid the question!" She said demandingly.
