"DXD: Transfer Student"Chapter 177: So This Is What a Battlefield Looks Like
After pitching in with Asia in the kitchen—and sneaking a few glances at Rias and Asia in their apron-only "uniforms"—dinner was finally ready.
It was the first time everyone had gathered at Draconis's place for a meal. The table overflowed with food, laughter, and the kind of happiness that only comes when friends become family.
When the plates were cleared, Rias was the first to slip off for a bath.
She'd grown completely at home here—so much so that she didn't even bother closing the bathroom door. Through the mist, Draconis caught sight of her fiery silhouette, all curves and confidence.
He took a moment to appreciate the view, then flopped onto the sofa.
"Come here." Akeno patted her thigh, voice soft and inviting.
Draconis didn't hesitate. He rested his head on Akeno's lap, sinking into the comfort and flipping on the TV.
Had it really been so long since he'd watched television?
Before, every spare second had gone into training—either pushing his limits or forging his body.
But things were different now. With his new method of tempering his body using magic, training had become almost effortless.
He'd discovered he could keep the technique running twenty-four-seven, like breathing.
Even Azazel, who'd taught him the method, was baffled.
Was this what it meant to make training instinctual?
Draconis only needed to split a sliver of attention to keep the process going, and he could still focus on magical cultivation at the same time.
It was like running two programs simultaneously—saving him a ton of time.
No wonder his peerage was feeling the pressure.
Xenovia, for one, was pushing herself hard, determined to reach the high-class devil standard so she could train like Draconis.
Azazel, though, wasn't convinced.
Only a monster like Draconis, with absolute control, could pull this off. Not even Azazel himself could manage it, despite being the one who'd taught Draconis.
Enjoying the gentle warmth of Akeno's lap, Draconis glanced over at Xenovia, who was still going at it in the living room.
"Xenovia, isn't it a bit much to train so hard right after dinner?" he called.
He didn't really want to dampen her enthusiasm—this was just an excuse.
After all, for devils, post-meal exercise was nothing. Heck, making babies after dinner wouldn't even raise an eyebrow…
Xenovia barely paused, panting, "It's fine! Thanks to your example, I've found my goal. I can handle it!"
Draconis pressed his lips together, unsure what to say.
Whatever. If she was happy, he was happy.
A little extra stamina never hurt anyone.
Akeno ran her fingers through his hair, gently stroking his head. "Not everyone can make training second nature like you. But at least you set the bar."
Draconis shook his head, grinning at the melodramatic soap opera on TV.
"It's weird, suddenly having so much free time…"
He used to fill every minute with training, sometimes even skipping sleep. Now, with his body auto-piloting the process, he had more time than he knew what to do with.
Akeno leaned down, her voice a sultry whisper. "Then… maybe we should find something fun to do."
Draconis played dumb, smiling. "And what would that be?"
"The same thing we did at my place last time…"
Akeno's meaning was clear. Ever since her transformation at the shrine, Rias had kept a close eye on her. But now, with the Maou's blessing, all bets were off.
Thinking about it, Akeno couldn't help but smile, reaching for Draconis's hand.
"Can you feel it? My heart's racing. I can't wait to be one with you…"
Draconis gazed up at her, only able to see half her face from this angle.
Not bad, actually.
Just then, Asia's voice broke through.
"D-Draconis?"
The little nun saw Draconis and Akeno getting cozy and immediately looked crestfallen.
"Asia doesn't want to be left out…"
She dashed over and threw herself into Draconis's arms—still wearing nothing but her apron.
"Ara ara…" Akeno blinked, caught off guard by Asia's sudden boldness.
Akeno shot Draconis a knowing look.
"You've taught her well…"
Draconis chuckled, patting Asia's smooth back. "Don't worry, Asia. No one's leaving you out."
"Mm!"
Asia kissed him right on the cheek.
"Bold move…" Akeno's smile was sweet, but her eyes flashed with a hint of jealousy.
"…What are you all up to now?"
Rias's voice cut through the room. She stood behind the sofa, dripping wet, eyes narrowed.
She'd barely made it halfway through her bath before the commotion in the living room pulled her out.
"Don't catch a cold," Draconis said, half amused, half concerned.
Could devils even catch colds? Probably not…
Rias's magic flared, evaporating the water instantly. Her skin gleamed, flawless and pale, her figure impossible to ignore.
She leaned in, tugging Draconis's cheek.
"Ow." Draconis winced. Jealous Rias was adorable.
"It's late. Come to bed," Rias declared, dragging Draconis toward the bedroom.
"Ara ara, I can't just let that slide!"
Akeno was right behind her.
"S-so can't I! Asia won't give up…"
Asia, too, found her courage, standing up to Rias's authority.
Even Xenovia, still training, piped up:
"You're going to bed already? Draconis, save some energy for me. You promised we'd have children together."
Draconis: "…"
His head spun.
Was this really happening? Four girls, all vying for his attention…
So this was what a battlefield looked like.
How entertaining.
"Maybe I should just sleep with Koneko instead…"
At least Koneko was calm. Draconis glanced at the silver-haired, golden-eyed girl, who was quietly watching TV.
She shot him a look, then ignored him.
"What are you planning? Koneko's still young—you're not allowed to touch her. Isn't having me enough?"
Rias huffed, dragging Draconis into the bedroom.
Akeno and Asia weren't about to back down, following close behind…
