5 Chapter 5

At this point, Rias got up from the chair she was sitting in and said, "You are exhausted so you should rest first, about the other things. Let's talk about that later."

Akira was anxious to see Rias almost leaving the room.

She was a treasure, how could someone like him let her leave like this?

"Rias, I really like you!"

"... Please... Don't say it so loud..."

Rias' cheeks turned red, her shame was so great that she wanted to find a nearby hole to hide in.

Seeing that she kept walking to the door that led out of the room, Akira decided to take a chance.

With one swift movement, he weakly held Rias' waist as he exclaimed, "Please accept my feelings!"

Rias' movements froze the moment she felt a pair of arms grabbing her waist causing her to stand still as if she were a statue.

"Accept your feelings?"

After Akira finished speaking, he relented.

Not only did he ask her to accept his feelings, but he also grabbed her waist. If this were to spread, it is likely that a certain fried chicken will come to kill him.

Besides, Rias' situation is not good, so it is likely that she cannot accept his feelings, which only made him regret it even more.

'Accept his feelings?'

Rias' eyes were unfocused.

Those were very distant words to her.

As heiress to the Gremory clan, her status was high and noble, and although she had countless fans in the world, no one ever dared to pursue her.

That was because she was engaged to another high-class devil.

Riser Phenex!

Moreover, even though she was not engaged to Riser, she still had certain prejudices against men, since most of them looked at her with lewd glances which made her feel sick.

She knew that if she kept it up she would probably remain single for the rest of her life.

But now the status quo had been broken!

One person had actually confessed to her.

And that person was her enemy!

Looking at Akira's handsome face, she couldn't help but look away as she blushed. Her heart seemed to want to jump out of her chest.

'No, I absolutely cannot accept his feelings!'

'He is someone chased by the underworld, how can we be together?'

'But he is also very kind, and his face is so beautiful, how can I refuse?'

'Besides, what if he commits suicide after I refuse him?'

Rias' mind was a mess, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

Seeing that the other party hadn't said anything for a long time, Akira was about to take the opportunity to escape. He had already recovered some of his power, so using it to escape with a teleportation magic would not be a problem.

Letting out a long sigh, he said, "Looks like I was too fast. You are the heiress of the Gremory clan and have a bright future. How can you be with me? We really can't love each other in this life, but I sincerely hope that we are destined in our next life..."

Saying those words, he was about to summon a magic circle to flee, but before he could do that, he heard Rias say something that almost made him faint.

"I accept!"

Rias' voice was a little anxious when she said those words.

She feared that Akira would kill himself if she didn't accept his feelings, especially when she heard him say 'next life'.

"Huh?!" Akira was surprised.

Rias shyly lowered her head as she said in a low voice, "So that you don't kill yourself, I accept your feelings."

Akira: "(⓿_⓿)"

"But I have to say, you can't let other people know, otherwise a lot of trouble will come to you."

"..."

Akira was so panicked that he couldn't say a word.

It never crossed his mind that Rias could accept his feelings.

"Uh, actually, you don't have to accept my feelings against your will, I'm fine with being rejected, besides..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Rias said, "Akira, if you dare to lie to me, I will kill you!"

At the end of her speech, Rias' Power of Destruction leaked out, causing Akira to shiver subconsciously.

After saying that, she turned and fled the room.

Looking at Rias running out of the room, Akira's eyes trembled.

Did she really accept?

But the problem is... I really don't love her!

Rias had a cute face, her skin was smooth, and the voluptuous shape of her body aroused all his desires. She is among the three most beautiful women in this world.

The two of them until recently were enemies, all because of the plot arrangement. Under normal circumstances, Akira would have liked Rias.

But now the situation was completely different.

He was not just a simple low class devil, there was actually someone very powerful who was looking after him, this was something that was hidden in the information that the underworld had about him.

Akira was one of Nyx's men!

"If she finds out about my relationship with Rias..."

Thinking about Nyx's character, Akira can't help but shiver.

[Change in the plot has been detected!]

[Host just received 40 plot points].

[Please keep trying hard].

'Keep trying hard? Ha, what a joke!'

Akira wanted to cry but he had no tears.

Regardless of the outcome, he knew there was no going back.

All he needed to do now was to fully recover and slowly increase his strength.

Because of his last interactions with Rias, he now had 50 plot points that could be used to buy items.

"Show me your system store."

A page appeared in front of him.

There was only one option on this page which was the lottery, which had a cost of 100 plot points, which amazingly enough was 50% off, which brought its price down to 50 plot points.

"This system is really limited, I still remember that in the stories I read in my past life, many characters had systems with infinite items and abilities. But here I am, with only the lottery function."

He knew that in his current situation, there wasn't much he could do, and he could only rely on luck.

"I hope I don't get a plate of food as a lottery reward..."

Saying those words, he clicked on the lottery option causing his plot points to go to zero.

According to the system, the prizes in the lottery were divided into talents, magic treasures, summons, money, among other things.

The higher the quality of the prize, the less likely it was to appear.

The probability of him receiving a divine item was less than 1%.

Soon his thoughts were interrupted by the noise made by the system's lottery.

A multitude of items appeared in front of him, but he knew that this was just the system tempting him to gain more plot points, to spend on the lottery.

Little by little the items disappeared until only one item remained.

[Common Prize: High Grade Talent]

"Is that serious? The common prize is a high grade talent?!"

Akira initially when he saw that it was a common prize was disappointed, but seeing that the common prize was a high grade talent, his disappointment disappeared and all that remained was happiness.

"If the common prize is a high grade talent, then what about the special and divine prizes?"

He couldn't even imagine what the above ordinary awards might be.

All he needed at the moment was a slightly better talent, since his ordinary talent was bothering him and also limiting him to being classified as a low grade devil forever.

But now, with a high grade talent, he no longer had to worry about not being able to become stronger.

Whether it was the speed at which he would get stronger, the speed of perception or recovery, everything was simply 100 times better than his old talent.
