"Look! Yusuke-kun, these cakes are so cute," Rias said, wrapping her arm around Yusuke's. She pointed at the tray of cakes on the counter, many shaped like bunnies and bears. One even looked like a tiny panda head, impossibly adorable.
Her loud voice drew the attention of the crowd around them. Men and even women could not help but steal glances at her, whispering among themselves about her mesmerizing foreign beauty.
"...I wonder if she's a model from overseas."
"She's amazingly beautiful..."
Yesterday, he had promised Rias he would go on a date with her after she had been asking persistently for many days.
"Let's take a look," Yusuke said, ignoring the crowd as he stared at the shop before stepping inside.
"Hmm!" Rias was practically buzzing with excitement, her happiness shining in every gesture. When they ordered the cakes, she hesitated to eat them, saying it felt as if she were killing the cute little animals.
Yusuke laughed at her antics while sipping his coffee, his gaze fixed on her as she leaned closer, taking selfies of both of them with the adorable cakes in the frame.
"Yusuke-kun, cheese!" she said, pressing her face against his as she snapped another series of selfies.
"Look, this picture is perfect! I am going to make it my lock screen!" Rias exclaimed, showing him the image. The photo captured them as if they were a real couple.
She wore a red shirt and a white skirt with knee-high white socks striped with red, topped with a cute white hat on her head.
They stayed in the shop for a while. Rias even asked the waiter to take more pictures of them together.
The two left the shop and headed to the arcade to play even more. Rias loved Japanese culture so much that she was practically obsessed. She had a dedicated room filled entirely with manga and figurines, and another room just for traditional dresses and accessories. In fact, the reason she had chosen Kuoh Town as her territory was because of her deep love for Japan.
She led him around, showing places in Kuoh Town he had never known existed. Pulling him along at brisk steps, her body radiated a happy aura strong enough to power a city on its own. Her ahoge, which her hat had failed to hide, swayed from left to right like an antenna reflecting her mood.
"Look! This fish is so huge!" Rias exclaimed at the aquarium, pulling him excitedly and pointing at a whale shark swimming past them. Then she added thoughtfully, "Though it's still not as huge as the fishes in the Underworld."
Compared to the gigantic creatures in the Underworld, even the largest whale looked tiny in comparison.
"You've talked about the Underworld so many times, I really want to see it one day," Yusuke said, staring at the shark swimming leisurely. Not only had Rias told him many things about her homeland, Sona, but he had also read plenty of books about it.
He honestly wanted to visit, but he was also wary of suddenly attracting some insanely strong Yandere.
"If you're curious, I can take you there next school break! I'll introduce you to my parents and Onii-sama!" Rias held his arms even tighter, leaning over his shoulder with her usual energetic tone. Then, in a low voice, she added, "I'll introduce their future son-in-law to them."
"..." Yusuke acted as if he didn't hear her last words; instead, he focused on feeling her milkers on his arms.
From time to time, he glanced behind him, his gaze locked in a certain direction. Since the start of their date, a certain presence had been following them, which he had picked up with his Haki. However, Yusuke hadn't made any move to catch it because he didn't want to ruin their date.
After the aquarium, the two went shopping, and then to the cinema where they watched a Ghibli movie. Walking out of the cinema, Rias stared at the darkening sky. It was already getting late. She turned to Yusuke and said, "There is a place I want to show you."
[She wants to show you a place? Hehehe, is it a dark basement?] The bitch system had been sarcastically commenting on their date since earlier. [This is a classic anime move. Go on a date, and then she drugs you and locks you in a basement, riding you so hard until your cock falls off. And when that happens, she starts fucking you with a strapped-on dildo!]
'God dammit! Can't you shut the fuck up for a second? Why are you always doing something to ruin the mood?!' Yusuke's butt instinctively tightened at her nasty words, and he couldn't help but curse loudly.
[Nope, nope, nope! If you hate it, then come bite me!] The system laughed at his reaction.
"Yusuke-kun? Why does your face look so bad? Is something wrong?" Rias noticed his expression and asked with worry.
"No, I just remembered something. Let's go," Yusuke said, patting her head with a calm smile.
Rias squinted her eyes, feeling his hand on her head as they walked out of the crowd together.
She took him to a remote place. There were no modern buildings nearby, and even light poles were scarce. Walking along the mountain road, Yusuke studied his surroundings. This place was perfect for kidnapping someone and locking them up somewhere remote. For a moment, his body shuddered as he involuntarily recalled the system's stupid words, but he quickly shook his head inwardly.
He was very strong now. Even ten of Rias would not be able to defeat him, much less kidnap him. He can protect his ass virginity!
Just as he was thinking about stupid things, the two reached their destination, a mountain cliff. Yusuke didn't need to ask why she had brought him here because the view before him explained everything. He muttered, "How beautiful."
Below them stretched the town. The lights made it look strangely beautiful. Though smaller than large cities, it was incredibly captivating from this angle.
"I found this place not long after coming to this town," Rias's voice sounded in his ears. She pulled him down to sit on the ground and leaned on his shoulder. "Whenever I am in a bad mood, or if I run into trouble, I come to this place to clear my mind."
"This is my secret place. I never brought anyone here before. You are the first," she said, looking up at his face with a beautiful smile. Well, her peerage did know about the existence of this place, but they had never come with her, so she wasn't lying.
"I want to share even more firsts with you in the future~!"
Yusuke remained silent. He didn't need to say anything in this moment, just staring into her azure-colored eyes. "Yusuke-kun," Rias leaned closer, closing her eyes. At the same time, he leaned over as well, and their lips met in a kiss.
...
A few hundred meters away, a woman stared at the scene with wide eyes. "Outrageous! They actually kissed!" Her expression was a mix of shock, anger, and frustration. She was clutching the tree she was hiding behind so tightly that her fingers sank into the bark. She barely managed to stop herself from rushing over and separating the two.
The woman looked very peculiar with a white mask covering the right side of her face. Her brown hair had three red highlights running through it. She had a voluptuous figure, wearing a black jacket and matching black jeans. The jacket had wide shoulders and a broad collar, with three leather straps on each arm. It was slightly open, revealing her ample breasts and cleavage, and cut off at her midriff, exposing her toned abs.
Her jeans had sections cut away, revealing parts of her thighs and rear.
She had the look of a sexy delinquent biker onee-san.
Her name was Isabela. She was a reincarnated devil, the rook of the high-class devil Riser Phenex. When he learned that his fiancée was suspiciously close to another man, he sent Isabela to check the situation.
At first, Isabela didn't believe those rumors. After all, the Gremory family was a very high-ranking house that had produced the current Maou and arguably the strongest devil in history. They obviously cared about their reputation. It seemed implausible that the heiress of Gremory would get close to another man while being engaged, right?
However, to her astonishment, she discovered that she was dead wrong. Rias Gremory was indeed getting close to a man. She was literally throwing herself at him! Isabela's anger flared at the sight. The idea of her master being cuckolded was infuriating, but just as her rage began to bubble, it was immediately extinguished when she laid eyes on the man in question.
The moment she saw his face, it was as if the whole world lost its colors. Her soul seemed to be violently yanked from her body. For a strange, inexplicable reason, she felt the need to have this person in her life, the urge to include him in everything that concerned her.
Heat began rising inside her. Her heart was beating so loudly that her ears buzzed. She could not control the overwhelming crash of emotion hitting her mind and soul. Her body, hidden behind a building as she spied on them, twisted ninety degrees without her noticing. Her eyes remained fixed on him until she suddenly fell to the ground.
"What... was that?" Isabela muttered as she stood up. She quickly continued to follow them. The more she stared at that man, the stronger the feeling of need grew. For some strange reason, she became very uncomfortable watching Rias cling to him.
It was as if she were seeing her own man being stolen by another woman, a sensation she had never even felt toward her master, Riser. In just a few short hours, these feelings had grown into an intense obsession.
If it weren't for knowing she wasn't strong enough to defeat Rias, she would have attacked her right then.
Crack!
A long crack spread across the tree as Isabela's fingers sank deeper into it. She closed her eyes, unwilling to continue watching the scene, and turned to leave. "Yusuke… no matter what happens, I will make you mine! But first, I need to separate you from that Gremory slut!"
Defeating Rias was impossible for her. Putting aside her personal strength, the Gremory clan was extremely powerful. If it were anyone else, they would only helplessly watch as their love was embraced by a stronger, richer, hotter woman. However, Isabela still had an advantage... her master! She might not be able to save Yusuke from Rias's crimson clutches, but her master, Riser Phenex, could!
After all, once he knew that his fiancée was hanging out with another man, he would absolutely become furious and come seeking an explanation.
The best-case scenario would be to bring forward the engagement. This would immediately cut off the relationship between Yusuke and Rias.
"Yusuke, just wait! I, Isabela, will soon save you from that crimson witch!" Isabela silently left the mountain area, and a teleportation magic circle rose from beneath her feet, transporting her back to the Underworld.
