I'm going to hit you now.

"So when did you show up?" I questioned with a deadpan look on my face. I had my theory about this guy but it was better to be clear in things like this.

Sirzechs looked over at me with a glint in his eyes that said he was enjoying this for some reason. Seeing that familiar glint I sighed as I was going to deal with another person that took amusement from my exasperation. Story of my fucking life.

"When were you under the impression I was not here?" Sirzeches questioned with a look on his face that deserved to be punched. I look over at him and thought that bullshit answer over. Was he implying that he arrived right when Hades arrived or was he saying that he was spying on his sister from the moment I showed up in their world?

"That is the smugest and most useless answer I have ever heard." I spat out tiredly as I went back to laying in the water pooling on the ground.

 I could not consume this water to recover because it was dyed in Slayer Magic so the best thing I could do was lay here. It may not be actually healing me but I felt at peace floating in the water that held a connection to me.

"Well, it's the one you got so get used to it," Sirzechs announced with that same punchable look on his face.

"Did anyone ever tell you that you have a punchable face," I spoke out with a bland smile on my face. If he was going to show up out of the blue right after we fucking put our all into a fight he deserved how I was treating him.

"No, I'm afraid that no one could gather the courage to say that to my face but I imagine a lot of people have at least thought it," Sirzechs spoke out with a shrug of his shoulders and that insufferable look on his face.

"You should get used to hearing it more often you really need the reality check." Again I spoke out blandly with a flat look on my face.

"When did you get here Oni-chan?" Rias asked with some curiosity filling her tone. I looked over at her expecting to see her dressed as she started talking to her Brother. Instead, I got another eye full of her breasts as she stood there completely nude without a care in the world.

I let out a startled gasp and Rias looked over at me with an amused smile on her face. Sirzeches looked over at me with the exact same smile and I felt like today was just going to end up the worst.

"Can you put on some fucking clothes already!" I shouted out with a blush filling up my face then I looked at the safer sight of Sirzechs smug punchable face. He raised an eyebrow at my outburst but did not say anything. 

I gave this guy a look as he was supposed to be a Sis-con but he did not seem to be ogling his nude sister. His attention was focused on me which was concerning in a completely different manner but at least I did not have to deal with another jealous brother right now. 

Granted the situation between me and Rias was different but she liked me and that would be pretty obvious to someone who had a functional pair of eyeballs. Let alone the brother who wanted to give his sister the world.

"Can't my room is on the other side of the mansion and I don't think I can move a muscle right now," Rias announced non chalantely I could not get a look at her face but I was sure she had a shit eating grin on her face at this moment.

"Then fucking send your brother, that way I don't have to look at his punchable face!" I shouted out as I stared at the strongest devil in the underworld. He only raised an amused eyebrow at my outburst. I got that Devils had a warped perspective on common sense but this was getting ridiculous.

"And leave you here all alone with my nude sister? That would be like leaving a wolf with a juicy sheep right there." Sirzechs announced with that insufferable face. I stared blankly at him for a long moment as that was not the answer I was expecting.

"Oni-chan!" Rias shouted out in outrage but Sirzechs just looked over at her and shrugged again.

"You insane, all of you are insane," I muttered out in disbelief as I floated in my pool of water.

"Says the man who fought a god for a 'friend' " Sirzechs spoke out with a smile on his face and another glint in his eyes. I looked back at this asshole and let out a sigh. This was not going to go anywhere as long as I remained Manaless and sore.

"Fine, then hit me with some water so I can take care of this fucking mess," I spoke out with a deadpanned face, Sirzechs looked over at me with a small amount of disbelief.

"You want me to hit you with a water spell? Are you sure about that?" Sirzechs questioned with that disbelief clear for anyone to see.

"That is pretty risky Prince-san," Rias muttered nervously from the side. I was feeling really underestimated right now but to be honest, if it was any element except water this dude would be able to wipe me without a second of resistance.

"Just fucking do it already, but make sure it's just water," I spoke out with a sigh. Sirzeches gave me a hesitant look before he pointed a finger at me and a fucking massive geyser was blasted at me point blank.

My eyes widened from the amount he sent me but I opened my mouth and started devouring the water before me. The Shard of Anti Divinity seemed interested in what this water was but it only sniffed at it. This was not quite Divine Water but it was close enough that I was actually gaining something from this,

My Mana recovered in almost an instant and my body started to refine itself. Beyond that the nature of this water was pushing my Mana Core further than anything else I have experienced. Still, as the water was being shoved down my gullet I was starting to feel bloated despite all the energy being used so I waved my arms to signal Sirzechs to stop blasting at me. It took a moment but eventually, he stopped feeding me water.

By that point, I felt like I had several four-course meals all in a row. I was still refining the Water he sent at me but it was going to take hours at the rate it was going.

"Wow, he actually lived through that you sure know how to pick them Ria-tan" Sirzechs announced as he was looking at me like I was a particularly interesting ape in a zoo. 

" It's not like that Oni-chan," Rias spoke out with a whine in her voice. I felt my face twitch as she was not really fooling anyone with her current tone. The problem was that it really was not like that or at least it was not like that from my side of things.

"Really?" Sirzechs questioned with a wry smile on his face.

He then turned back to Rias with an exaggerated expression on his face that looked like it came off the cover of a shoujo manga.

"That's good to know Rias-san but I did not ask about the Gremory family. I wanted to know more about you." Sirzeches spoke out with that expression flashing across his face as he looked over at his face.

"You will be free to love whoever you want from now on." Sirzeches continued with a tone that was completely serious but coupled with that expression only came out as comedic.

 Wait a moment those words sounded fucking familiar. Those were my words, this fucker was making fun of me again. Did I really sound like that? I really fucking shit the bed there why did I think that those words would fit well!?

"Oni-chan!" Rias shouted out and I could tell she was looking back and forth between me and Sirzechs to see if I would have noticed what was going on. I could not see her currently but I was sure she was blushing up a storm right now.

I let out a sigh and conjured some clothes for Rias now that I was not lying dead in a pool of water. I threw the newly conjured clothes in Rias' general direction.

"There clothes conjured from the super awesome wizard now can you wear some fucking clothes." I spat out tiredly as I looked over at Sirzechs who was giving me a mocking smile.

"It's really not like that I have a girlfriend," I spoke out blandly. I thought Ashley was being dramatic but I really needed to learn to phrase my words better as I was clearly at fault here.

"I don't really see how those two things relate but whatever," Sirzechs spoke out with another shrug. I gave him another flat look as he clearly knew why that would be an issue.

 Devils may advocate for Harems but it was not like they did not understand the concept of monogamy. He was just fucking around with me because he was a smug prick that was too powerful for his own good.

I heard some shuffling and the sound of clothes being put on so I assumed Rias was currently putting on the clothes I had provided her. When those noises stopped I looked over at her hesitantly.

She was dressed in the clothes I had provided her they were baggy and clearly not meant for someone with her frame but I did not have her measurements. So I felt like it was better to overshoot it instead of undershooting it and having her in an outfit that was too tight on her.

 Even with me overshooting it the outfit still hugged her breasts rather tightly. Seeing that she looked over at him with an amused expression but there was a hint of nervousness there now that Sirzechs was bringing up certain topics.

Seeing she was fine I turned around to Sirzechs with a bland look on my face.

"So when you said you were here from the start you really meant it." I spat out as I glared at him, I got that it looked like we had it covered but it would be way easier if he stepped in, The presence I could feel from him easily dwarfed the aura Hades was emitting. It was not even close to be honest which brought up some questions.

 Hades may not be the most powerful person but he was still in the top ten of this world. So Sirzechs base state should not be this overwhelmingly powerful. There were also Hades finally words to consider.

I don't think we actually fully took care of that problem and that was concerning.

"Yup, learned a lot of new things today. Things that really need to be answered but you looked a bit stressed out so I was going to let it go for a little bit but then Hades showed up." Sirzeches explained his presence without any guilt filling his features. Rias paled slightly as she looked nervously at her brother. 

I let out a sigh as Sirzechs clearly knew about the Chat Group but that was to be expected since he apparently spies relentlessly on his sister. I should have taken that into account when I traveled to her world and started talking about things that should have remained unspoken. That was my bad but this was a brand new situation so making mistakes like that was to be expected.

It was not like it was really that big of a problem. Big whoop his sister is connected to a group that will help her immensely. He might be concerned about the small issues but since he had not tried to kill me I figure he was fine with it for the most part. The Chat Group was not only good for Rias but the Devil Race as a whole.

"So you got any questions now? I asked while releasing a sigh. Rias looked nervously at her brother and Sirzechs just raised an amused eyebrow.

"Too many to count," Sirzechs spoke out with a small shrug. I threw a glare at him that did not seem to affect him as he just gave me another insufferable grin.

"How about you answer one of mine first, why the fuck did you think it was a good idea to let us fight Hades!" I snarled out at the prick in front of me. I was really irritated that we had to fight the god when this prick was watching from the sidelines.

"Wait! You were here the entire time Oni-Chan!" Rias shouted out as she finally pieced together the clues. She knew that he heard our conversation but the fact that he might have discovered the Chat Group overwhelmed the fact that he was watching the entire time.

Hearing Rias shout Sirzechs finally reacted in a way other than smug teasing. He winched at her shout and had a guilty look on his face, he honestly looked like a kicked puppy and that was ridiculous coming from someone like him.

 This is a man that could destroy the planet if he wanted to and he looked like someone stole his cookie.

"Sorry Ria-tan but it looked like you guys had it handled and I was right here to step in if you needed help." Sirzechs hastily explained while he looked over at his sister with a pleading expression. That explanation did not in fact calm her down as Rias looked like she was going to blow a fuse. Which only caused Sirzechs to look even guilter.

"I did not want to fight a god Oni-chan!" Rias shouted out with a pout starting to emerge on her face along with a glare.

"If it was up to a vote I also did not want to fight a god," I announced dryly as I watched the bonfire in front of me. If this whole conversation was going to distract Sirzechs from asking any questions I was fine with playing around with this for now.

 It allowed me to contemplate the words I needed to speak later. Sirzechs did not seem to acknowledge my comment as he was too busy trying to placate Rias.

"Technically you did not fight a god, just an avatar that Hades used to investigate." Sirzechs pointed out as if that fact made what we went through right. There was a silence in the air as all of us took in his words but Rias looked like she was about to blow up again.

I let out a sigh as that made sense. I already had some suspicions about Hades. The way his body reacted and his own words painted a picture that was hard to look away from. That sucked as we were now on Hades radar and that was never going to be a good thing. At least he looked like he was no longer adamant about pulling my heart out of my chest. He seemed more amused at the end of our fight.

"I felt like I was moments away from death Oni-chan, I thought Prince-san would lose his life and it would be my fault. You let me feel like that Oni-chan!" Rias shouted out at Sirzechs with tears glinting in her eyes. Sirzechs looked like someone just punched him in the stomach and the once unflappable and insufferable prick deflated like a balloon.

As the tears fell from Rias' face Sirzechs looked like he lost ten years of his life. He looked like he was struggling to find words that would make this better so he kind of just stood there. Rias was too busy breaking down to notice. It kind of went through my head considering how she was acting but this was a pretty traumatic experience.

"Sorry Ria-tan." Sirzechs let out sullenly as he seemed to grasp how bad this was for his sister. Rias glared at him with tears falling down her face but she gathered herself and looked away from him.

A silence built up in the room as no one wanted to say anything at this moment. Rias because she was really mad at her brother and Sirzechs was remaining quiet because he was feeling guilty. I was holding my silence because the current atmosphere felt too heavy for me to get involved. 

The silence was broken with a flash of light. That flash startled all of us as we were not expecting visitors. I spun to look at the new arrival and Sirzechs looked over as well but not as urgently as I was. The prick had the confidence to face any threat with calm composure but we did not have that luxury. If this was a new threat at least I would be able to sit back as Sirzechs was clearly reprimanded and he wanted to make up with his sister.

When I recognized the person that arrived I felt my racing heart settle for a moment. Ashley teleported to this world with a pout on her face. I looked over at her in confusion as she was probably the last person I expected to show up right now.

She looked around with that pout and locked onto me.

"Rabbit now," Ashley spoke out her demand like a cave man that only knew a couple of words. I looked at her blankly for a moment because this whole situation was confusing but I got it after a moment.

I had spent a lot of time in Rias' world because of the fight with Hades, I completely forgot I promised to get Ashley a Ragout Rabbit. I took in her glare and pout and let out a loud laugh.

 This situation was just too absurd for me to hold back my laughter. Her glare intensified but she was not really all that mad she just wanted her rabbit and she wanted it now.

"I take it this is one of your new friends Ria-tan?" Sirzerchs asked as I continued laughing. Ashley looked away from me and looked over at the brother sister pair with a raised eyebrow at Rias' current state.

"Yeah that is Prince-san's girlfriend Oni-chan," Rias explained quickly as she did not want her brother to attack Ashley for no reason. 

So she broke her silence to explain. Hearing her words Sirzechs raised an eyebrow and looked over at me with an amused look. I glared back at him as I did not want to have Sirzechs setting off a landmine that I was trying to avoid. 

Ashley looked actually touched that Rias considered her a friend but that would quickly go down hill if Sirzechs blabbed right now. Rias seemed to realize that her brother might open his mouth to mock us again so she reached over and pinched him. 

Despite his immense power Sirzechs let out a pained yelp and looked over at his sister with a pout of his own.

She gave him a look that clearly said to behave. Seeing that look Sirzechs grew an amused look but seeing the tears still on her face he let out a sigh instead and just looked back at Ashley and me with a bland smile.

"Well any friend of Ria-tan is a friend of mine," Sirzechs spoke out with a bright cheery grin as he looked over at Ashley. Ashley gave him a flat look and rolled her eyes.

"Not looking for more friends, Rias is already too many friends for my taste." Ashley let out dryly as she looked back at me with a look screaming where is my rabbit? So she missed Rias' reaction to Ashley's words, it was Rias' turn to look touched as she shot Ashley a bright smile. I guess this was at least a step in the right direction.

I bit my lip as this current situation looked good but it could all come crumbling down. I looked back at my girlfriend thinking that it would be better to hide Rias' feelings but I dismissed that thought again. Like I said hiding something like that would only lead to a worse outcome.

Sirzechs took in Ashley's words and shot Rias a thumbs up. Rias blushed and looked away from him and started walking towards us instead.

"Rabbit now," Ashley repeated herself since I had not responded yet. I gave her an amused look but she seemed like she was not going to back off until she got what she wanted. Rias looked like she wanted to say something but she swallowed it instead.

"Fine, give me a second." I let out with an amused huff. Ashley nodded smugly but seemed to settle. She looked over at Rias' current appearance with that same questioning look.

[User: Overdramtic Fool has used the Gacha and has received a Ragout Rabbit (B-tier)]

With another flash, I received another rabbit exactly as I expected. With practiced ease, I captured the new rabbit by its ears and watched as the fat rabbit tried to escape from my hands fruitlessly.

Eventually, the Rabbit gave up and just accepted its fate as it hung in the air with an aura of dejection.

"Do you have to eat the rabbit? It looks so cute," Rias asked with a sad smile on her face as she looked over at the dejected rabbit. Ashley looked over at her with her arms hugging herself.

"Look Rias, I get it cute bunny much want but Prince and I are going to eat this guy," Ashley announced with a tone that said any argument against her current position was not going to be accepted. Rias looked disappointed about that but she was also looking at Ashley with a glint in her eyes.

"You are calling me by my name now," Rias spoke out softly as if afraid those words would change what was happening. Ashley looked like she swallowed a lemon but she looked back at Rias and let out a huff.

"I can't be found hanging out with a person with a nickname like that, so be glad that you have evolved from Magic Tits Rias," Ashley announced while looking away from Rias.

 Sirzechs heard that conversation beat and mouthed the words magic tits with a confused expression but seeing how things were going he held back his questions. Which was a good thing as I did not want him to tip the scales here.

Tears gathered in Rias' eyes again but she wore a happy smile on her face as she looked over at Ashley. Before Ashley could react Rias was hugging her. Ashley sort of hung in the air as Rias picked her up and hugged the daylight out of her. Ashley looked confused and panicky about the sudden contact and she tried to free herself but she just hung in the air pointlessly like the rabbit in my hands.

"Today is a good day, even our fight with Hades could not bring down my mood," Rias announced as she continued to hug Ashley. There was a moment in which Ashley took in her words before she looked over mechanically at me.

"I'm sorry what?" Ashley questioned and I coughed awkwardly as I did not really think about telling her about the fight but I really should have. Fighting a god was not really something you should hold back.

"Yeah, Hades showed up here that was why I did not show up with the rabbit," I spoke out explaining the situation here. Ashley looked over at me with a pout on her face. Seeing that I raised a confused eyebrow.

"You fought a god without me?" Ashley whined out as she looked around at the damage in this room with a pout on her face.
