19 Ricer (2)

"Who do you think you are human!? My big brother is already giving you a handicap but you dare refuse to take it!?" The girl with drill-like curls spoke up.

"And you are?" Vile spoke.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself first? We don't even know you!" She glared at Vile for disrespecting her brother.

"Oh, heh sorry I haven't introduced myself. My name is Vile Kuzu." Vile stated in a confident tone, slightly bowing to them.

"I am Ravel Phenex." Ravel also introduced herself.

"Hmmm not bad a Phenex too, you even made your sister a part of your harem." Vile grinned at Riser's direction.

"You- I'm just joining my big brother for an experience in a rating game." Ravel refuted before she was cut off by Riser.

"Now human, no Vile. Give Riser a reason why should Riser bring his peerage with him when Riser alone is enough to deal with you?" Riser asked Vile.

Hearing that Vile started to release a terrifying aura, with the combination of the Slaughterer trait and the Nine Serenities Scripture he had gotten.

This terrified Riser's peerage as they were gasping for air, before Grayfia interfered.

"Stop this Kuzu-san." Grayfia attempted to ease the aura that Vile was releasing.

"Now... Does that count as a reason?" Vile looked at Riser, who took a few steps back from him.

"I-I see... Fine Riser will fight you with his peerage." Riser was now serious as Vile might be the toughest opponent that he would face so far in a rating game.

"Good~ but. How about we add a bit more condition?" Vile wanted something from Riser which is his blood so he could refine it.

"Go on." Riser decides to let Vile cook.

"If I win, you will hand me 2 vials of Phoenix tears, and 5 drops of your blood." Vile proposed, he wanted to secure a blood of the Phenex clan, if Riser couldn't bleed in the battle.

"You're asking for a lot Vile, you're thinking that you have already won against Riser." Riser looked at Vile.

"I better get something good out of this." Riser glared at Vile.

"If you win, you Rias will agree with your engagement and I will work for you like a little servant," Vile answered before Issei spoke up.

"Vile what the hell are you doing? You're gonna throw away Rias just like that!?!" Issei roared at Vile's condition.

"Shut it." Vile gave him a cold look which shut Issei up as he couldn't do anything about it.

"Do you agree Rias?" Vile looked at Rias asking for her permission, which she hesitated to accept, whether to trust Vile or not.

But after some time Rias agreed with the condition.

"How about you Riser-kun?" Vile looked at Riser who was also thinking.

"Alright Riser agrees, with this condition." Riser thought about it and concluded that he didn't have anything to lose as the only bothersome thing he could lose was his valuable Phenex blood.

"But, if Riser may so ask, what are you going to do with the blood? If you want a cure the tears should do fine." Riser looked at Vile curiously.

"Hmmm, just pure curiosity, I just want to see some things are true, this is my first time encountering a real Phoenix after all." Seeing that Vile wanted to dismiss it, they didn't pursue it further.

But If he did do something that could taint the blood of the Phenex clan, then they would take drastic measures against Vile.

"Alright, now that is settled, when do you think our battle be from now on?" Riser looked at Vile.

"I think I should be the one asking you that, Riser." Vile looked at Riser as if to annoy him.

"You-!" Ravel wanted to reprehend Vile but was stopped by her brother.

"How about 3 days from now on, that should be enough time for you to prepare right?" Riser glared at Vile, as he was looking at him as if he was some food.

"Sure. I can wait that long." Vile shrugged it off as he was excited to take free ingredients from a noble devil.

As Vile thought of that he realized. 'Hmmm? Seems like I'm becoming more demonic each day, as I even view others as nothing more than ingredients now.' Vile wants to remind himself to calm his mind in the future.

...

As that whole ordeal was done, the riser and his peerage left not before Ravel tried to taunt him.

After they had left, Grayfia also went back and decided to report the situation to Rias' brother Sirzechs.

"What the hell man!" Issei looked at Vile, before grabbing his collar.

Vile slapped his hand away.

"What? Your master already agreed to it, so what?" Vile looked at Issei as Rias already permitted it.

"Stop it Issei." Rias wanted to calm Issei down.

"What if he would lose president!? You would marry that Riser bastard!" Issei wanted to reason with anyone.

"Let's just trust, Vile-kun with his battle." Rias wanted to trust Vile and wanted to convince herself that this was the right choice. She hopes that Vile wins the fight.

"Yeah, let's trust him for now Issei." Kiba also agreed with Rias, as he recognize Vile as someone who is very strong and his role model.

'What's with Kiba? He used to hate me but after beating him in a few sword fights, his attitude suddenly changed.' Vile thought, as he began to think that Kiba was secretly gay as he didn't have any feelings for any girls in Rias' peerage, Vile couldn't find a conclusion as Vile didn't know the story well enough.

"Then tell me, Vile, if you and Riser and his team were to fight, would you lose?" Issei asked as he wanted an honest final answer from Vile.

"Nah, I'd Win." Vile stated confidently as he pointed his thumb toward himself.

(A/N: I just had to add it.)

Hearing his answer, Issei sighs as he decides to trust Vile.

The others had already gone home except Rias and Akeno, who was looking at me weirdly.

I then received a system pop-up.

'heh, I'm about to make a pinata out of Riser once we are about to fight.' Vile thought.

Before going home, I wanted to get more out of this situation by even making more deals with a devil nobility.

"Soo... Rias, how about you reward me if I win this fight against Riser?" My face thickened upon saying that as I was already getting a lot from winning against Riser, so I decided to take chances in milking Rias even more.

"Aren't you already getting a lot from this if you win?" Rias looked at Vile who was just smiling, even though she trusted him, she didn't like his personality so far as she had seen.

"You're not after my body after all, are you?" Rias raised her brow at Vile.

'Ara? Does Vile-kun also want the president's body?' Akeno thought.

"Hahahaha no, but if offer yourself I don't mind though, I just want some drop of your blood," I said softly.

'Why is he obsessed with blood? Is he some kind of a vampire?' Rias and Akeno thought the same.

"That's all?" Rias hoped that that's all he wanted from her.

"Yup," I replied, as there wasn't anything I needed other than getting stronger for now, as for women and pleasure? Well... I suppose I can ask Sakuya-chan to take care of it, I haven't gotten intimate with anyone after arriving in Japan.

'No horny' I slapped myself. Confusing the two.

"Well alright, I agree. By the way, why are you obsessed with blood anyway?" Rias asked curiously as Akeno also wanted to hear his answer.

"Hmmm.." I started to think of a bullshit reason.

"Nothing?" Vile started to play dumb.

The two drop the idea to learn more, as he didn't want to explain to them, and only thought that Vile has some kind of fetish with blood.
