“……To be told that by the “Strongest Queen”, even I would be scared…… I definitely wouldn’t want to fight the people from Sirzech-sama’s group, which is known to be made up of monsters.”
So Buchou’s brother has that much influential power huh. I also didn’t know that Grayfia-san is that strong. I don’t even feel any killing intent coming from her at all. Buchou also stops her red demonic-power and disbands her battle position. Looks like we avoided the worst case scenario. Seeing that both Buchou and Raiser have no intention to fight, Grayfia-san speaks. “Master, Sirzechs-sama, and those from the House of Phoenix knew it would turn out like this. To tell you the truth this was to be the last discussion meeting. Everyone knew that it wouldn’t be solved, so they decided to make a last resort.”
“Last resort? What do you mean, Grayfia?”
“Ojou-sama, if you wish to push your opinion forward, then how about you settle it by having a [Rating Game] against Raiser-sama? “……! ?”
Buchou becomes speechless hearing Grayfia-san. She seems to be very shocked. [Rating Game]? I think I heard about it before……
“It’s a game that is played by the Devils with peerage, and they compete by making their servants battle.”
Kiba explains it to me because I have a confused look. Oh, I think I remember about it. It’s a battle amongst Devils where you use your servants, [Pawn], [Knight], [Bishop], [Rook], and [Queen]. I heard that your strength in the game reflects greatly in your social standing among other Devils. But wasn’t that game only played by mature aged Devils, and Buchou who isn’t at the mature age can’t participate in it? Grayfia-san continues her explanation and answers my questions. “Just as you know, Ojou-sama, only mature aged Devils can participate in official [Rating Game]. But if it’s an unofficial match between pure-blood Devils, even immature Devils can participate. However, in this case—”
“When it involves the family and household problems.”
Buchou continues to talk while making a sigh. “In other words Otou-sama and the others decided to have a game as a last resort if I was to decline, right? ……Just how far are they intending to interfere with my life to feel satisfied......!”
Buchou is really ticked off. Uwah……I can feel her urge to kill! Scary……
“Then Ojou-sama, you are saying you would also decline to participate in the game?”
“No, I won’t, since this is a chance. Alright then. Let’s settle this with a game, Raiser.”
Raiser smirks after Buchou’s provocative words. “Hee, so you're accepting it. I don’t mind. But I’m already a matured Devil and I have already participated in the official game. Right now I have won most of the games. Even so, you still want to play, Rias?”
Raiser replied back with an even more provocative words. Buchou sends back a fearless smile. “I will. I will blow you away, Raiser!”
“Fine. If you win, do whatever you like. But if I win, you will marry me immediately.”
Both of them glares at each other. They are both glaring at each other with scary eyes. Oh, their glares are so intense that a Low-class Devil like myself can’t butt in! “Understood. I, Grayfia, have confirmed both sides opinion. I will be in charge of the game between the two household. Is that okay?”
“Yes.”
“Yeah.”
Buchou and Raiser both agrees to Grayfia-san’s approval. “Understood. I will inform the two households then.”
Grayfia-san bows her head after confirming. Wow, it has turned into a serious situation! Game! So I will be participating in it as well! Raiser looks at me and then smirks. He then makes a smirk which pisses me off. “Hey, Rias. Would the ones here be your servants?”
Buchou twitches her eyes at his words. “So what?”
Raiser starts laughing after Buchou answers him as if he finds it amusing. “Then this match will be a laugh. Only your [Queen], the “Priestess of Thunder” can fight on par with my adorable servants.”
Saying that, Raiser clicks his fingers, and the magic-circle on the floor glows. The magic-circle has the same emblem of Phoenix that Raiser appeared from. Then shadows appears from the magic-circle. One, two, three……s-shit……
I got speechless after I saw the number of shadows that appears from the magic-circle. “Well, these are my cute servants.”
Around Raiser who said that, 15 people that seems to be his servants gathers around him. There’s a person in armour that seems to be a [Knight]. There’s also a person wearing a hood that seems to be a magician. Full members! Just like in real chess, you can have a maximum number of 15 servant Devils under your control. It seems like High-class Devils receives 15 [Evil Pieces] from Maou. You can form a master and servant relationship by using it to those who you want to make as your servant. If the person you wish to make your servant has high potential capacities, then the chess consumption can be doubled. That’s why there are cases where there is only 1 [Rook] or 1 [Knight]. Buchou also had the same incident. That is me. You can get a maximum of 8 [Pawns], but Buchou used all 8 pieces on me because there is an extremely fiendish thing within me. That’s why there are High-class Devils that doesn’t have 15 servants. But Raiser has the maximum number of 15 servants. It’s a magnificent view to see all 16 Devils including the [King]. We only have one of each of [King], [Queen], [Rook], [Bishop], [Knight], and [Pawn]. So that makes it a 6 versus 16!? I got shocked by this fact. No, I’m sorry. There’s something else on my mind. I mean, I can’t help it! What is this!? —They’re all girls! The knight and the magician I mentioned earlier are also girls! A girl wearing a Chinese dress! Two girls with beast ears! Two girls with identical face that seems to be twins! A loli girl! Two older girls with nice bodies! A Yamato Nadeshiko like girl wearing a kimono! There’s also a girl wearing a dress who looks like a European princess! A wild looking older woman who is carrying a sword on her back! There’s also a girl wearing a dancer’s outfit! There’s also a mysterious woman wearing a mask that hides half of her face! They are all beautiful woman or beautiful young girls!! An army of beauty actually exist!? Electricity runs through my body! ……! I see, so that’s what it is! This guy, Raiser, actually done it! Every guy's dream, —a harem! The High-class Devil who turned harem into reality! Raiser Phoenix! What a person…… What a guy……
“H-Hey, Rias…… This servant-kun over here is crying a lot while looking at me.”
Raiser said it while looking at me. He seems to be really freaked out by me. Buchou places her hand on her forehead when she sees me. “This boy’s dream is to have a harem. I think he was moved after looking at your servants.”
Yup yup. That’s exactly right. I’m crying because I saw my dream, my objective, right in front of me. Ah, what a lucky guy. They are all girls. “Gross~.”
“Raiser-sama, this person is freaking me out~.”
Raiser’s girls make a disgusted face while looking at me. Damn it! Fuck you all!
