She’s shocked! Rather, it feels like she can’t resist this situation nor can she comprehend it which resulted in her brain halting! “……I’m sorry! I will go and bring new tea!”
Akeno-san also left the room with a painful expression! “I-I will go and help Akeno-sama!”
Ravel became concerned for Akeno-san and went after her! However, Rossweisse-san and Gondur-san continue talking while making me sit in the middle. “How long has it been since you two have been dating?”
“……T-Three months!”
“—So that means that it is okay for me to assume that you two have already done what a man and woman would do then?”
This granny is too bold in asking things! Even Rossweisse-san has a very stiff face now! But she somehow withstood it and says it with a shaking voice and a red face. “……I-It’s……not like we are married yet or anything…… B-Besides! My strong protection for my chastity is what I was told from you granny……I mean grandmother!”
“I never said you couldn’t have such relations before marriage. I just told you not to get caught by bad boys and give yourself to them unnecessarily.”
Rossweisse-san who is holding onto my arm shouts with a country accent! “E-Even I want to do erotic things with a boy!”
“That’s why I’m telling you to do it already!”
Oh, even the granny spoke with an accent! Gondur-san who realised that the atmosphere of this room is heading towards the weird direction makes a cough once again. “—I will permit relations between you two.”
Rossweisse-san can’t respond to her words and replies back with an idiotic voice. “…………Huh?”
“It isn’t “Huh?”. I said I will allow it. You have already shared your feelings with a man you fell in love with now, right? So go for a date next time.”
“W-Wait, b-but!”
Rossweisse-san suddenly panics. But Gondur-san says it with her powerful eyes. “—I will come and ask you about this more in detail the next time I come and see you. To both you—and your boyfriend. Thank you everyone for today. I will be taking my leave now.”
After saying that, Gondur-san leaves this place in order to head to the hotel Sona-kaichou prepared for her. After her grandmother left, the atmosphere of this room became very serious. Rias is still frozen. Asia is watching this situation in panic. Rossweisse-san then holds my hand and begs with a red face. “…………I’m sorry. I-It’s only for a short time, so please cooperate with me…… ……There’s no more turning back for me……!”
……So it’s decided that Rossweisse-san and I will be going on a date. The next day after Rossweisse-san’s grandmother came to visit the Hyoudou residence. I’m currently continuing with the final check for the pact between me and Le Fay. Ravel who is my manager is sitting between us and she takes out a document and such from her personal magic-circle. I can only give her my gratitude for her swift work. “Seriously, our pact certainly is going smoothly thanks to you, Ravel.”
When I said that, Ravel takes out an animal’s plate and candles which is used for the custom for this ritual (Apparently it’s a Chinese soft-shell turtle she got from a small restaurant). “No, it’s because you were blessed with making a pact with someone capable like her which is the sole reason why this went smoothly.”
Receiving such praise, Le Fay starts to wriggle her body. The document, which will be our contract, is written in Devil’s symbols. Quickly explaining the context of it, it’s written like one of those contracts you often see in the human world which goes: “I will make a pact with this person. After the pact, these are the sort of things I am allowed to do. And these are the things which I am not allowed to do”. I spill my blood by cutting my palm with a knife. I use that blood to write my name in Devil’s symbols. Le Fay also uses her own blood to write her name in magical symbols. With this, our pact is complete document wise. What’s left is the official ritual. Le Fay and I enter the pact-purpose magic-circle that is written with animal’s blood. We then chant the spell for the pact. The magic-circle starts to emit a mysterious shine. “In the name of I, Le Fay Pendragon, I shall make a wish to the “Pawn” of the Gremory-group, Hyoudou Issei. You shall make a pact with me, and become my sworn friend.”
The chants have been simplified quite a bit. Depending on the situation, you need to chant things like how we resulted in making the pact as well as the content of it. But this is a pact which is being done after Le Fay and I built trust between us, which in turn resulted in it being simplified. I also chant out the words I had memorised. “In the name of Hyoudou Issei, the “Pawn” of Rias Gremory’s group, I shall promise to make a pact with you, Le Fay Pendragon, right here. And umm, let’s get along from now as well.”
I bow my head down at the end like a Japanese person! Le Fay chuckles and also bows her head. “Yes, let’s do get along.”
The Gremory’s symbol appears on Le Fay and my cheek while the magic-circle disappears while emitting out light due to fulfilling its duty. ……We really, really, did end this quite plainly, but was it really okay to end like this? I look towards Ravel and she is nodding her head. Looks like this is a success. Possibly due to the documents which have our signatures gaining some kind of power, the document is giving out a red light. “……Can I presume that this has finished?”
I try to get Ravel’s confirmation just in case. “Yes, you certainly can. With this, Ise-sama and Le Fay-san are partners in terms of business.”
Ravel tells me like that. So this is it huh. We went through many documents, but it ended immediately when I found the person who I will make a pact with. Now then, it’s okay that our pact is completed, but……
“So then, what should Le Fay and I do now?”
Our pact is completed, so should we research about magic like how a partner should? Ravel then says after making a cough. “That will depend on Le Fay-san. If she chooses to do experiments on magic from now, she will need to summon you after this, but if she chooses to do the experiment tomorrow, she can just summon you tomorrow.”
So it’s up to Le Fay then. Ravel then adds. “It’s a five year pact. If she shows good results within five years, then it will be a win-win situation for you, Ise-sama.”
“In other words we don’t have to do anything immediately.”
I said that, so Ravel nods. Well, I guess we can conclude that we have made a pact. I hope I can show results within five years together with Le Fay…… Oh well, let’s do this while being laid back about it. Ravel confirms that we have completed our pact safely and then starts to prepare tea. She prepares it by taking out a folding-type table and places the cups and tea on it. “Let’s have tea to celebrate the success of the pact between you two.”
A tea party after the pact huh. A Devil’s pact has an ominous imagination in the human world but it’s unexpectedly done quite peacefully.
