Departure (1)

Yes, It was time to leave this town and explore the DxD world in search of Gauzauberer

Coming to this decision he looked at his slave that was looking at him in curiosity.

"Rize..." He said in a deep voice, unlike his usual childish voice.

He glanced down at Rize, who was fidgeting in anxiousness. She could sense something was wrong.

Rize was 170 cm tall while Ryujin had grown a lot the past two years. Not just in strength but in appearance as well. He was 176 cm tall and his body was well defined.

If one ignored the slight chubbiness on his face then he could easily pass on as an 18-year-old.

He also had a mature aura around him, Rize sometimes forgot that he was a teenager.

Rize was 170 cm tall.

Seeing his unusually serious face and odd way of looking at her, her mind tensed up and a sense of crisis welled up, 'Was he finally going to reveal his true goal? Is my life going to end now?'

She knew she couldn't resist, she had herself seen how strong Ryujin was.

"Y-Yes?" She responded in a somewhat shaky voice.

"I'm leaving..."

Rize's mind and blanked and she felt question marks appear in her mind, She also noticed a very terrifying change in the eyes of Ryujin.

He was looking at her with such gentleness that she had never seen in the past year.

"The place I'm going doesn't allow me to bring you with me... To be honest I don't feel like leaving you behind but I have no other choice. If I take you with me then there's a chance that it would endanger your life." Ryujin muttered in a voice audible to Rize.

His voice was unusually soft, unlike how he usually talked to her, Rize mind had already turned blank by the sudden change of pace.

"In the past year I've spent with you, I've never felt alone. For some reason, I can't seem to care about anyone, not my friends, not my neighbors, not my best friends, and not even the parents that gave birth to me!

They all feel like those N.P.C's that one has to forcefully interact within a game to get a quest or mission.

But you... you were like a companion. The times I've teased you, made fun of you, made you massage my back, and forcefully made you learn to cook and feed me, are all special memories to me.

You were the only reason my past year wasn't all grey and black."

Coming to this part Ryujin paused and took a deep breath, "Now it's time, It's time for you to decide, would wait for me to return or would you like your freedom back?

Don't worry about the Holy Water inside you, I've always lied to you. There is no such thing inside you. You also don't have to worry about food, I've mind-controlled some prison guards to allow you to have your 'food'. Though you can have your weekly hunts it's dangerous so I advise against it.

Saying this he turned her back to her and started packing his back and said in a hesitant but reluctant voice, "Though I can fairly g-guess what you would choose I'll still like to say this," His back seemed to tremble as he said this, "I enjoyed the past year Rize, I'll miss you..." By the last sentence, his voice had turned even softer but it was still audible.

Rize felt like laughing, Was she in some kind of stupid dream? How could her usual cold and indifferent master act like this all of a sudden?

She pinched herself on her thigh as hard as she could.

Ryujin silently packed his things and as soon as he zipped his bag he felt something latch onto his back, he looked down and saw two pale arms hugging his stomach from behind.

"Why?" He heard a soft mutter behind him.

"Why are you leaving me like this? Do you think that only you've enjoyed the past year? This year has been the most special ever since I've become a devil. I wasn't abused, I wasn't mistreated, I wasn't beaten black and blue and I wasn't forced to starve."

"And now you're suddenly taking all of this away..."

Ryujin felt a spot on his back grow wet.

He slowly turned and looked at Rize, She had tears streaming down her face and a small blush. It made her seem intoxicating.

Ryujin slowly cupped her cheeks and brought her face closer to his. Their foreheads stuck to each other.

Rize was still sobbing.

"Seems like I'm not the only one that has changed in the past year Rize." He muttered.

Rize didn't respond.

"Don't worry I'll be back soon, at most a few years."

He cupped her cheeks again and directly latched his lips on hers causing her eyes to widen in surprise.

He gently nibbed his lips against her soft supple lips. He had kissed many times in his past life but none of the lips he tasted were as soft as hers.

His lips glued to her as he slowly opened his mouth and pushed his tongue towards her, Rize was already blushing like crazy, She unconsciously opened her mouth allowing his tongue to intertwine with his.

Ryujin could feel that she was inexperienced as he took over a dominating role in their battle of tounges.

The atmosphere in the room grew hot. Their kiss turned steamy as both of their tongues latched and rolled around with each other.

Their saliva mixed but it only caused them to go even crazier.

Soon their lips parted and a bridge of saliva appeared between them.
