Chapter 274 - Innocent girl

"What did you do to the stray earlier and how did you find it so easily?" Yuumi asked, considering her senses should have picked up the stray devil's presence and was baffled how he easily caught and killed it. This made it extremely clear that despite his appearance isn't someone to take lightly. Ryuu smiled at her question and said, 

"It is my power and what that is…well I'll just keep to myself. Putting that aside, I must say that you seem to lack the proper training of the blade and rely on speed more than anything." Yuumi became interested and drawn to him even in his female form, which made him extremely attractive. This was due to the effect of the Absolute Charisma.

[A/N: Just search Absolute Charisma cause I don't want to add to much info dump ]]

This made it easy for him to influence anyone and somewhat brainwashing but it is just his natural aura and Ryuu that are at least a Supernatural Charisma that is only below the absolute Charisma. It affects even just mentioning his name even if it is an alias so long it is connected to him and similar people with the same name won't be affected by it. This is the reason why they all feel drawn to him and Ryuu doesn't care anymore as long as they don't feel entitled to it and promise to treat them right. Yuumi nodded and said.

"Are you suggesting that I shouldn't rely on speed and instead improve my sword technique?" Ryuu nodded considering even before he became what he is now, he was an incredibly skilled swordsman that was above his peers. He can manipulate reality on a whim but often likes to act on his roots and primarily fight with what he had before elike blood, bone, plagues, Swordsmanship, etc. 

"Exactly, you already have great speed and now lack power. Try improving your strength to balance things out." Akeno who was closed by mischievously smiled and moved to press his breast to his arms while speaking in a seductive manner much to Rias displeasure knowing that Akeno was chasing her and made her queen smile enjoying her reaction. 

"Hey, what about me, Ryuu-kun!? Do you find anything that you can HELP me with??" Koneko was watching the two have their breasts hugged each other and Akeno pressing his arm between her breast and said. 

"Pervert Sensei." Koneko muttered looking at Ryuu who wryly smiled, never expecting to be called a pervert when canon Issei is the one who should have the title.

"Well you waste too much energy when using your power and need some training in regards to your control. However, compared to how Rias describe your power then it has improved greatly. I know it will take time to accept your trauma and past but so long you keep up then I'm sure everyone will find some closure and finally be free from those tragic past." 

His words made their flutter as he smiled at them and patted the head of Koneko as he didn't pretend to know them and merely gave his opinion. It is not easy overcoming a trauma and takes time and most of the time needs some closure and clarity. Koneko realized her sister's sacrifice when Rias told them his words and advice, finding it strange and now wanted to find the opportunity to talk to her sister but she knew that it would be impossible unless her sister's name was cleared. 

Meanwhile, Akeno wanted to go back and confront her father, not doing anything even now hiding like a coward rather than confront her own daughter. It is unfortunate that baraqiel will be receiving a green hat from Ryuu soon enough. 

After a while they headed back home as it was already dead of the night and Ryuu headed back home. He arrived to find them with Ophis, who was eating some sweets. His woman saw him arrive and welcomed him with open arms. Ryuu took Ophis into his lap while his Primarch children had begun to crawl and Sanguina and Leanna began playing with him while the others were being taken care of his lovers. 

"Hey Ophis-chan, I want to ask you something." Ophis continued with her cookie like chipmunk and said.

"What is it, Ryuu?" Ryuu rubbed his chin since he could find the answer with clairvoyance but Issei's presence had been messing up his abilities and decided to use the old ways. 

"Do you know where Rizevim is? I've been trying to find him for several days now." He is merely curious and can easily force Issei influence and know the plans of the enemy but that would be too boring. Ophis finished one of her cookies and said before continuing eating.

"I don't know." Ryuu sighs and said.

"....as expected." She hardly pays attention unless it's about silences or sweets. Ryuu could only hope to eventually find him and devour his soul in hopes to increase his power. He had been spreading his guidance through the minds of humans and other races alike that would eventually pave the way for him to find Rizevim. After a while, he had dinner with his family and had some endless nights.

Few days had passed, Ryuu and the occult research club got to know each other, becoming much closer than before that they were able to share things about themselves. Though, it usually ends where Akeno and Rias bicker who get to sit on his side but Koneko takes his lap and eats his sweets. They were surprised by her action but none refused her, even Ryuu who only pampered her even more. 

Ryuu noticed how Issei hadn't tried anything and was observing him from every moment seemingly collecting data. He was cautious of him yet didn't want to confront him without proper planning. Ryuu was the same and didn't want to confront him this early and wanted to wait for the opportunity to finally talk to him. He was unsure what he would say and tell him once they properly introduced themselves. Ryuu felt anxious thinking about it but needed to find his own closure. 

At the current moment, Ryuu was busy teaching when he was called by Kie and used his Omnipresence to appear but it was rather difficult as the present of pure and innocent was in his home. He switch with using spatial time manipulation and arrive to his home where he found his wife Kie and sat in front of her and said 

"I didn't expect for you to meet her instead of me, Kie."

Ryuu was looking at a young blonde girl who was anxious to be there but was calmed down by Kie's motherly vibe and holy atmosphere. She emits rather unpleasant feelings to him due to her kind aura that didn't discriminate against anyone and felt like ants crawling on his skin. Ryuu didn't mind it and just felt a little uncomfortable but that's all. The person before him was none other than Asia Argento. He couldn't help but think that the two were so much alike. 

"I bumped into Asia who seemed lost and saw her heal someone that I felt that something was up."

He nodded looking at Asia who was quiet and nervous around new people after what she experienced being abandoned. Ryuu was pissed at the Vatican for abandoning her when they brainwashed her into becoming a devout follower and never taught her the right and wrong. They were hypocrisy at its finest and Ryuu was Yesh's partner, making more pissed that they sullied her name using it in vain. 

Meanwhile, Asia was taking a glance at him and felt overwhelmed at how gentle he was looking at her and how things had turned out this way. She felt lost and abandoned having been saved by Asia when Kie was walking around town with Nezuko and Anna. Ryuu rubbed his chin thinking about something and said.

"No need to be nervous, my name is Ryuu Cinco or Kazuno whichever you prefer." Ryuu gave a warm and welcoming smile that was unfitting for the Embodiment of Evil while Asia's heart skipped a bit seeing his expression and Kie saw this couldn't help smiling as well since she liked the young girl and how innocent she was.

"I-Its nice to meet you, I-I'm Asia Argento." Ryuu nodded and turned to Kie and said.

"Can you tell me how you met Asia?"
