Chapter 2

Gremory Mansion, Underworld.

The Gremory mansion in the underworld could be considered one of the largest among all the upper-class devils' mansions.

Inside a room on the second floor of the mansion, a beautiful silver-haired maid was cleaning the room.

Boom!

A magic teleportation circle appeared on the floor, and slowly a red figure was revealed.

The maid's eyebrow rose in surprise as she saw the person who had been revealed in the magic circle.

"Rias, you have returned. It looks like you managed to defeat that little villain." Grayfia said with a reassuring face.

Rias had a complicated expression on her face as she nodded in agreement.

"Yes, he wasn't strong enough to defeat me."

Grayfia nodded her head at Rias' words.

Initially Akira was just a small villain without much importance, but due to a series of recent events, Sirzechs the current leader of the underworld sent a mission to several upper-class devils. The mission was quite simple.

Exterminate terrorist groups!

Which in turn forced Rias to kill not only Akira but also the entire group he was leading. And as expected, Akira was not Rias' opponent.

At that moment, Grayfia noticed that there was a 'person' wrapped in several ribbons behind Rias and asked curiously, "Rias, what would that be?"

"No... It's not a big deal."

Rias pulled at the tape with her hands, revealing that the person wrapped up was Akira, the villain she defeated, "This is Akira."

"Akira?!"

Grayfia looked at the boy on the ground in amazement.

Akira was a small villain, but that didn't stop Grayfia from seeking information to help Rias in her mission to kill him. So she knew some information about him.

For starters, she couldn't find out who Akira's parents were, that's because the files that contained information about him were very vague. But luckily, she did get other useful information, such as the number of subordinates he had, which was 4 people who were killed by Rias.

Besides, this devil's talent was not that great, if she had to estimate Akira's strength was only at the level of a low class devil. Which was much lower than Rias' strength.

'That makes me wonder, why did Rias bring this boy to her house?'

'Does she want to hand him over to her brother? Hm... That doesn't seem believable since this boy must not have any useful information.'

Grayfia who was dressed as a maid pondered to herself.

Rias said, "Grayfia, call the Gremory family doctor."

Grayfia was stunned for a moment, then said nervously, "Rias, are you hurt? Even if Akira's group was low-ranking, you still should have been careful."

Rias just shook her head at Grayfia's speech, "I'm fine."

"Then why do you want the Gremory family doctor to come?"

"I want to save Akira."

"..."

Grayfia's mind was confused.

'Save Akira? Weren't these two enemies until recently?'

'Won't saving him make the purpose of the mission pointless? After all he would be saved in the end.'

Rias said, "I know you have a lot of questions, but I really can't explain now, just do as I say and in the future I will explain."

"All right then."

Although Grayfia still had many questions, she chose to just do what Rias said.

Besides, if Akira tried something funny after she woke up, she would kill him herself.

Just as she was about to leave to call the doctor, she stopped.

Rias frowned slightly and said, "What is it?"

Grayfia pointed to her lips and said, "Rias, the lipstick on your lips is smeared."

"Nonsense, you know I've never worn lipstick..."

When she was in the middle of her speech, she reacted causing her pretty face to turn as red as a tomato.

Rias quickly covered her lips and turned around stammering, "No! Don't mind that, just call the doctor!"

"Yes."

After Grayfia left, Rias managed to calm down and looked at Akira with a trace of shame and anger.

"Pervert! Your kiss was so fierce that it almost made me get caught!"

...

Akira had a beautiful dream.

In the dream, he became the 'Blessed Protagonist', an incomparable genius that everyone admired, as long as he went out for an adventure, he would come back filled with immortal treasures and beautiful fairies under his arms.

Even Rias, who was his enemy, was on his back, lovingly massaging his shoulders.

"Master, you are so beautiful~"

Rias' face flushed as she said those words, you could see hearts forming in her eyes, as if she was mesmerized by Akira.

Akira's mouth went dry at the sight of Rias's gaze.

Then he woke up from his dream.

Akira slowly opened his eyes, looking at the surroundings of the unfamiliar environment, his heart raced.

"The system didn't lie, I really have been reincarnated!"

"Now it's my turn to be the protagonist! Hahaha! I wonder what world this is.... Well, no matter, since I am the protagonist my life will be easy."

At that moment, a once sounded in his ear, "Are you okay?"

The voice contained doubt and also a trace of shame that was imperceptible.

When Akira turned around, he saw a beautiful silver-haired woman dressed in a blue and white French maid's outfit with long sleeves and a white headband.

"You are...."

"You can call me Grayfia."

"Grayfia?!"

Hearing this name, Akira jumped out of bed.

"Impossible! I became Sirzechs Lucifer?"

The brother of the main heroine!

"Even though I am Sirzechs, he is the main heroine's brother, his strength is probably ranked among the twenty strongest in the world."

Akira quickly cleared his throat and said, "Grayfia, I know your past. Don't worry, I will help you with your brother."

Grayfia frowned slightly, a slight murderous intent leaked from her body.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Akira frowned and said, "Aren't I Sirzechs? Your brother should be Euclid Lucifuge."

Grayfia shook her head, although she was surprised that Akira knew her brother's name, she still said, "It seems that the Gremory family doctor's treatment burned out your brain. Akira, you don't even remember your own name?"

Akira's expression suddenly changed.

"Akira?!"

Realizing something, he immediately looked down, only to see that he was covered in bandages and the wound on his chest still hurt.

He could even see a trace of Destruction Power inside his body, making him still feel the pain from Rias' blows.

"I'm really not dead?" Akira said incredulously.

"Of course."

Grayfia frowned slightly, "You were on the verge of death and probably would have died even without Rias giving the final attack, but fortunately before you left she used a Phoenix Tear to keep you alive, which allowed her to bring you to the Gremory family doctor, who largely removed the Power of Destruction that was inside your body."

Grayfia thinking he was happy to stay alive continued saying, "To save him, I don't know how much demonic energy the Gremory family doctor had to use, I feel like even a few years of lives were lost for him."

Akira just stared at the ceiling of the huge room as he let out an anguished cry, "Who.... WHO TOLD YOU TO SAVE ME?!!!"

Grayfia: "????"

People who were near the Gremory mansion: "????"
