38 Focus!

Rias ran out of the main school building and look at the big clock that was on the third floor of her club building. That was when she realized...

"Did someone stop the time in Kuoh?" Rias said some unbelievable words but it didn't seem untrue, Since everything here was indeed frozen in time.

And it might just not be Kuoh alone…

'What if the entirety of the World is frozen?' Rias took out her communicator given to her by her brother, she wanted to call him and relay the situation since he seemed like the only person who could do something about it but...

"Why isn't it turning on?" Cold sweat appeared on Rias's neck as this pendant-like device was supposed to shine brightly upon being opened and send a distressed signal to her brother.

But it wasn't shining even when she opened it, even the Communication Magic wasn't working so she had no way of relaying the situation here.

"Brother should be coming here, There is no way the Satans didn't detect something like this," Rias said and waited for someone to appear, but even after a full hour, no one came.

'What is happening?' Rias was at a loss now, things weren't making any sense.

'Ever since that...' Rias stopped and dashed straight into the club building and entered the previous room she was using.

"This door is the cause of all this?" Rias concluded that ever the current situation was brought about by this door.

'So, does that mean it isn't a scam….' Rias thought as she approached the door, looking at what this door has caused, it would be right to assume that the person behind this has the power to achieve his promise.

And even if he can't make every wish come true…

"I am sure he can at least help me get out of this marriage," While muttering that Rias turned the handle and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened she was greeted with a living room as lavish if not more lavish than her own.

And in the middle of the room, a white-haired man stood wearing a fitting white shirt and black pants, he looked like he was about to introduce himself but he seemed a little shocked at this instant.

"Hello, My Name is Rias Gremory and can you explain to me what happened," Rias didn't have any leeway to focus on the man's panic as she herself had a lot of questions.

'Rias Gremory? High School DXD? Wait is this for real?' Adam was shocked as now he was certain of the identity of the voluptuous redhead in a school uniform who was standing in front of him.

He had seen her on a screen before, but now she was standing in front of him. This moment felt very unreal, but…

'My first Ecchi Anime, those were the good times,' This was the only reason Adam even remembered Rias so quickly, there was another reason but he would prefer not to say it.

But now he had other things to do, so let's focus on that.

"Yes, Please sit down on the sofa and have some tea while I explain things," Adam said in a very respectful way and Rias nodded.

She sat down and picked up the cup of hot black tea in front of her as Adam sat down on the couch directly in front of her.

"So, since the door appeared in front of you, it means that you have a wish and I can fulfill that wish if you pay the appropriate price," Adam said and Rias nodded.

"I already have an idea of that but, why is the time frozen outside?" Rias nearly got a heart attack thanks to that.

"That is to give appropriate time to a woman who might be on death's door to think if she wants to proceed or not, it is because some might think that they are hallucinating and not take up the offer, I already don't get many clients so it would be bad for me, also sometimes it is possible the person in question just doesn't have enough time to move," Adam explained as Rias listened attentively.

'It has been a year since another client came,' Adam thought as he sighed, it was really hard for him to get clients here.

'That makes sense, aside from the fact the time was stopped so causally,' Rias thought while taking a sip of the tea and her eyes widened.

"This is great!" A compliment came out of Rias's mouth without her control and she could see Adam smiling.

"Glad to hear that, do try the tart as well," Adam said pointing at the plate making Rias look over at the dessert she recognized.

'Tarte Tatin? It looks unusually tasty for some reason,' Rias thought as she slowly ate a bite and…

"Mhm!" Rias really felt like something was wrong with this Tarte tatin because…

'My hands won't stop,' In less than a few minutes Rias had already eaten the entire slice while finishing her cup of tea.

And there was only one thing she had to say…

"Would you consider just making these for me every day? I'll pay as much as you need," Rias couldn't help it since it was just that tasty.

"Is that your wish?" Adam tilted his head and Rias seemed to have realized the real reason she came here.

"Ah, No, I am sorry it was just that tasty," Rias coughed with a little blush on her face.

"No problem, you can take your time, Would you like a refill?" Adam asked while shaking his head.

"Yes," And the reply came immediately.

In the next 10 minutes, Adam understood the gist of Rias's problem, even though he already sort of knew why she was there.

"So, you would like my help in breaking your engagement with Riser Phenex?" Adam asked and Rias nodded.

"I do not want a vile man like that as my partner, I have tried everything aside from one thing and they have all failed, So I don't have many options," Rias sighed as her mood soured when she thought about it.

The great taste of the tea and tarte tatin all went away. But…

"I see. So, we just need to break the engagement or make the guy vanish so that he doesn't bother you?" Rias looked at Adam in surprise when he said that.

'He seems serious,' Rias didn't know if it was because he didn't know the status of the Phenex clan or if he was just so powerful that he didnt care.

But considering what he had done…

"Yes, I just need your help to break the engagement," Rias did dislike Riser but wasn't to the extent that she wanted him killed.

As long as he wasn't involved with her, she didn't care how he lived his life.

And they were reaching the main topic.

"So, what is the price I need to pay in order to get your help, Mr. Adam?" Rias asked and Adam looked even more serious.

'That time has come,' Adam closed his eyes but he soon opened them as there was no escaping this, but he wasn't that worried about it this time because…..

"It is sex," Adam said while looking in Rias's eyes and he saw that she looked a little shocked but the expression on her face changed soon.

'Even though I thought it would be something serious, but this works out,' Rias thought that this was an absolute win.

If she loses her purity then Riser would lose interest in her.

Because all he wants is to have the Heiress of the Gremory Clan as his trophy.

He didn't have even an ounce of interest in Rias herself and that was one of the main reasons why she wanted to end this marriage contract.

That is why this works perfectly, Riser was a small man from what found out and such a man would surely leave her alone if she had already eloped with another man.

"I have no problem with it," Rias spoke after she had finished her thoughts.

"Alright, then I'll just go and have a quick meeting with your world's Administrator, you can partake in these while I am away," Rias's eyes shined when she saw the tray full of pastries that Adam placed in front of her with a pot of tea before walking out of the front door.

'These are really too good,' Rias didn't even bother to stop and care for the amount of sugar she was consuming since everything just tasted that good.

And by the time she finished all of the pastries, Adam came back and sat down before speaking.

"I've got permission, So we can form the contract,"
