Chapter 13 : Pact and bets.

Sasae ignored Akeno's perverted comment, walked over to the couch and noticed a white haired loli. He stared at the white haired loli before sitting down beside her.

" Sorry ." White-haired Loli spoke up.

"Huh? For what ?." Sasae tilted her head in confusion.

"For attacking you unreasonably." Koneko said.

"Well, you don't have to apologize to me for that. Anyway, I counterattacked by hitting you. Let's pretend we're even." Sasae said then he unconsciously placed his hand on Koneko's head. He patted her head while showing an amused smile. Koneko immediately whined like a cat with her eyes closed.

"cute!!" Sasae immediately picked the girl up and placed her on his lap as he started stroking her soft white hair with his cheek.

The others in the club room were amazed at Sasae's sudden change in behavior as he interacted with Koneko, and soon Rias smirked as an idea popped into her head. .

Although Koneko was amused by this, it also felt inappropriate for Sasae to approach her so casually to pet her.

"Leave me alone, pervert, Lolicon." Hearing these cruel words, a cracking sound came from Sasae's chest.

"I..I'm sorry." Sasae said as she put the girl back in her original position beside him.

"I just feel that you're cute like my little sister. I subconsciously wanted to pet you like a little sister." Sasae whispered with a sullen face. Looking at Koneko's cold expression and short hair made Sasae recall Nari's image when she was in middle school. That's why he couldn't control his actions and wanted to pet this loli.

In addition, in real life, Sasae also has a little bit of a soft spot for cute 'creatures'.

Hearing Sasae's words made Koneko look down upon seeing that Sasae's intentions weren't perverted in the slightest.

"I'm sorry ."

Koneko felt something warm tug in her chest as Sasae called her her Little Sister. Sasae looked at the girl with a warm smile as this loli didn't misunderstand him as a pervert.

"Really!?" Sasae said with a happy voice.

"Um.." Koneko just nodded shyly.

"Ara Ara... Sasae- Kun, did you forget we were in the room too?" Akeno came out and said playfully after she changed her panties.

"Ah yes that's right… Rias-Senpai, what do you want to tell me?." Sasae asked curiously as he looked at Rias.

"Actually, the person who wants to talk to you is not me. " Rias answered, at the same time there was a knock on the door.

"We're going in," said a voice from the door as three figures entered the clubroom.

The new appearance was made by the Student Council President, Vice President, and Saji.

"It's the right time Sona." Rias praised Sona before she sat down next to Sasae.

Sona glanced at Sasae while Tsubaki and Saji just rolled their eyes because they were still scared by Sasae's brutality.

Sona sat down on the chair across from Sasae, still a little nervous from the past events. She took a deep breath to calm herself before speaking.

"It's nice to see you here, Sasae-san. I really wanted to talk to you so I asked Rias to help me arrange a meeting between us. "

"Oh Sona-kaichou. Did you use your privilege to do this~?" Sasae teased the serious girl with a smirk.

Sona just looked at Sasae and answered.

"Let's leave this for now, I have something very important to discuss with you right now."

"The important thing you want to discuss huh?."

"That's right, it's more like an agreement between us." Sona said she adjusted her glasses herself to make them shine by reflecting the light in the room.

"Tell me about the deal you'd like to have with me to see if it might interest me." Sasae replied while he took a sip of tea. Sasae knew that Sona would be smart enough to give up wanting him to join her peerage. That's why he wanted to return to what Sona agreed with him. Even Rias who was sitting next to Sona was interested in this, trying to know what her best friend had in mind with Sasae.

"What do you think about making a pact with me? ." Sona said that made Sasae raise her eyebrows while Rias scratched her head and blamed herself for not thinking of this before Sona.

"Sasae-kun, make a pact with me." Rias hugs Sasae while cooing like a child begging for her toy.

"Be quiet Rias-senpai. Sona-kaichou, explain what you call a pact." Sasae said causing Sona to smirk before she answered Sasae's question.

"A pact between a devil and a magician is binding until the magician who signed the pact dies," Sona said.

Sasae began to feel that the contract was like a service business that would do anything for the contractor.

"Why do magicians need to make a pact with the devil?" Sasae asked curiously.

"That's a good question." Sona nodded and continued to explain.

"Let's see, there are three reasons why a magician decides to make a pact with the devil." Sona said while holding up three fingers.

"First, guard. Usually, a mage uses a devil as their bodyguard. When the time comes, having a powerful devil behind them will allow them to talk to their opponents if they get into an argument. rush." Sona said.

"If that happens then this mage isn't strong enough." Sasae replied with a shrug.

"Second is information. Mages make pacts because they want to gain devul's techniques and knowledge. Just to be clear, Underworld's technical standards. These will play an important role when magicians do their research. Also, by making a pact with the devil, they will be allowed to get items or resources at a cheaper price by making an equal exchange." Sona said.

"Finally, the popularity of the public. They make a pact with the devil because of their own status. Making a pact with the powerful devil will bring them great fortune and success."

"It seems the magicians have benefited greatly from this treaty." Sasae said.

"Yes.That's why you should make a pact with me." Rias said while hugging him.

"Fufufu, Or you can also make a pact with me." Akeno said in a cheerful voice, from what she had seen Sasae was extremely strong and the things he had just done to her made her feel a strange new feeling inside of her.

"Akeno!" Rias immediately complains because she wants to be Sasae's pact.

Akeno just smiled and said, "There's no rule that a magician can only make a pact with a demon, right?"

"…" Sona felt stunned at Akeno and Rias' brazenness. She was the one who thought of wanting to sign a pact with Sasae first and now the other two girls are asking Sasae to sign a pact with them.

"Cough! Anyway, what do you think about making a pact with me? I'm a high-ranking devil and heir to the Sitri family, signing a pact with me will help you a lot." Sona said, she really wanted to sign a pact with someone as strong as Sasae. If she can sign a pact with Sasae then she can ask him to help her in training the members of her peerage, in the future her influence will also greatly increase if she has a strong ally. strong like Sasae.

"Well, I'm not interested in this. It sounds tasteless and it would probably steal my precious time, I have a lot of other things to take care of." Sasae refused Sona's offer causing her face to become sullen. She let out a frustrated sigh before looking at Sasae with steady eyes.

"Then how about betting? Bet with me." Sona said.

" Place a bet ? Well, the devil is very good at gambling. Do you think I will bet with you?."

Sona started to get flustered before she tried to readjust her words.

"I mean challenge. Yes, it is a challenge."

"Oh my, a high level devil is testing a mere human like me. Do you think I will accept? "Sasae scoffed causing Sona's face to darken.

"No need to worry. Just beat me to a game of chess and I promise you I won't bother you anymore." Sona said it made Tsubaki and Saji want to complain that they were beaten by Sasae so badly.

Although Sasae's face didn't change at all, inside he was showing a wicked smile.

' Did you hear anything, Kraken. Isn't that your favorite game.'

[ She challenged the wrong person .] ( Author : Octopus is said to be a very intelligent creature . )

"Rest assured, the match will start tomorrow, you have a lot of time to prepare." Sona tries to gain an advantage before Sasae can deny her again.

"Okay.. but I want to have one more advantage, we will play three mock chess matches before the official match. Also it's a disadvantage for me to have no reward for winning..." Sasae gave out your conditions.

"Fine," Sona replied without wasting a second of thought. "What do you want when you win?"

"You'll have to listen to all my requests for a year, minus the perverts, of course. Is this fair enough?"

Sona fell silent and began to consider what Sasae said before she nodded in agreement.

"I'm asking this just to make sure, but our battle will go on just like any other game without any devil magic involved, right?" Sasae asked.

[ Hahaha look at her expression . ]

Sona frowned at Sasae as this was a direct attack on her reverence for Chess Cleanliness.

"It's a normal game of chess, I won't cheat. Sona suppressed her anger by clenching her fist. Looking at Sona's expression made Sasae feel extremely excited. Sasae felt amused when cause trouble with this girl.

[ You seem to be enjoying her suffering . You are more devil-like than her.]

' But it is fun. I know you're happy to see me upset her too.'

[ It was really fun hahaha .]

After concluding their agreement, Sona, Tsubaki and Saji left. Sasae was also about to get up to leave when Rias hugged him and said.

"Sasae-kun, can you stay here with me for a while?"

"Haizzz Rias-senpai. Since when did you become such a spoiled girl? Should I call you a Troubled tomatoes? " Sasae said as he pinched her cheeks before he sighed and lay down on the sofa while using her lap as a pillow.

"I'm going to sleep for a while, class is boring." Sasae said while Rias happily stroked he black hair.

*****

Sona returned to the student council office. She opens the door and finds Nari playing chess with a member of her peerage.

"Hello Nari-san."

"Ah Sona-kaichou. I came to play chess with you as promised." Nari said.

" Sorry for being late . I just talked to your brother. We had an agreement with each other."

"Do you have an agreement with Onii-san?."

"Yes, tomorrow we will play chess together." Sona then starts telling Nari and the others about her deal with Sasae. Nari immediately stood up after hearing what Sona said.

"What's wrong, Nari-san?" Sona immediately felt something was wrong seeing Nari's expression.

"Oh no Sona-Kaichou… You were tricked by Onii-san." Nari muttered
