001 - What Makes it Hard to Go Home ?

Right now, I am sitting on the sofa in my living room and Sturm is also sitting next to me, staring at someone in front of us. On my left side, Ophis is also staring sharply at someone in my lap.

That someone is Fenrir, who is sleeping on my lap after refusing to return to the Sky realm and choosing to accompany both of us here.

Meanwhile, Grisella is sitting next to Ophis, smiling and observing the atmosphere in this place.

Because right now, Sturm and I are staring at a girl wearing a school uniform with long red hair. The girl seems restless and is trying to distract herself by looking at various objects in the room.

"So..." I decided to start the conversation.

The red-haired girl, or someone named Rias Gremory, looked surprised when she suddenly heard me speak.

"Why did you enter my portal?" I immediately asked Rias her purpose for coming here.

When I returned to close the portal, I suddenly saw that Ophis and Grisella had already closed my portal, but I didn't expect Rias to enter my portal too.

I thought that no one would dare to enter my portal because I had shown my strength to them and made them scared.

But Rias still entered my portal... and i remember Sirzechs actually said that Rias tried to find me since the incident at the previous school right?

"I... I don't know... when I returned after saving one of the member of my peerage, I saw the portal open and everyone seemed to be talking about something, and suddenly my instinct told me to enter the portal and chase after whoever had opened it, so my body moved on its own and flew into the portal!"

Rias spoke quickly to explain herself.

So it's that goddamn instinct again huh? At this point, instead of being useful, that thing is going to get me involved in these stupid plots.

I rubbed my eyes after hearing Rias' words, while Sturm was still observing Rias' body.

She felt like her body was inferior to the girl in front of her... even though both of them had equally large breasts, this girl had a sexier body than hers.

Sturm was shorter than this girl, and her hair was also shorter because Sturm had tried to grow her hair long before but she didn't suit long hair, and also the girl's waist... like a body made to satisfy desires.

Rias felt like she was being stared at by Sturm felt more and more restless because she could sense that Lucifer's friend had much stronger power than her.

"I heard from your brother that you were looking for me before? So, now that we've met, why were you looking for me?" I asked Rias.

Hearing that made Rias realize, and I finally saw that she was trying to think of something... huh, don't tell me she doesn't have any reason for searching for me?

We just remained silent, waiting for Rias to finish thinking about why she was looking for me... and after a while, she finished thinking and looked at me.

"Please train me!"

...what?

Train her? Why does she suddenly want to train? If I'm not mistaken, her character in the anime is lazy and just wants to watch anime all the time, right?

But here she says she wants me to train her...

"Why do you want me to train you?" I tried to find out Rias' reason for suddenly wanting to become stronger.

Hearing that, I could see Rias stop being restless and look at me with a determined gaze. "I want to protect my family members. I realized since the problem with Kokabiel that I can't continue to be weak like this. I want to become stronger and then protect all my peerage members and act as a proper King."

Huh, not bad at all... I could see that Rias was very serious when she said that, even without me seeing her emotions I could hear from her tone that she was very serious.

"And... maybe if I'm stronger, you will pay attention to me" Rias continued her speech, but this time with a very low voice while starting to get restless again...

Huh, does she forget that in this room everyone has sharp hearing, so we all definitely hear her words... except for Fenrir, who has been sleeping all this time.

"So what will you give if I agree to make you stronger?" I looked at Rias seriously and slightly pressured her with my aura.

"Ughh." I could see Rias' body starting to tremble and lose strength due to the pressure from my aura.

But Rias still tried to look at me, even though her body was becoming weaker and weaker, until finally, she answered, "Anything! I will do anything for you except hurting innocent people or hurting my family."

Hmm, anything huh... I then observed Rias' body as I thinking about that. If she says that while having a body that invites someone's desires, it is truly dangerous.

*Thud* Suddenly, I felt something hit my stomach hard.

I saw that it was Sturm who nudged me while pouting, it seems she knew what I was thinking after hearing Rias say that.

I then turned back to Rias and could see that she was very embarrassed and her face looked red... Wait, do they all know what I'm thinking right now?

I then turned to Ophis and Grisella, and I could see that both of them were staring at me with blank expressions...

Oh, wow, they all actually know what I'm thinking right now.

*Cough* "Sorry, I was daydreaming earlier," I tried to change the subject.

And why does Rias want to become strong anyway? Isn't this world just a world of fanservice anime filled with boobs and sex baiting?

Is there even any problematic creature in this world... I mean besides the world I've destroyed and Trihexa in a different dimension, it doesn't seem possible that they can come here.

And even if they can come here, I'm sure they will come when Issei or the main character of this world is already strong enough to fight them.

Hmm actually....

There is something I want to check, so I try to stand up and leave this house to go to a more spacious place.

First, I slowly move Fenrir, who is still asleep, to Sturm's lap. Sturm looks confused about what I am about to do.

"There is something I want to check, so please take care of Fenrir for now," I inform Sturm.

"Hmm? What are you going to do?" Sturm accepts Fenrir and slowly lays her head on her lap.

Fenrir seems to be scratching her cheek, but eventually, she falls back asleep... huh, I know Fenrir is a wolf, but her behavior is more like a house dog who loves to sleep.

"I want to summon Akasha," I casually inform Sturm.

"Ah, so that's it... Wait, what? Why? What are you going to do?" Sturm, who is stroking Fenrir's head, suddenly gets shocked as she processes what I said.

The others look confused because this is the first time they have seen Sturm's face look a bit panicked, and the name Akasha is completely unfamiliar to them.

"Don't worry, Sturm, I will not use Akasha to rewrite history or something, I just want to check something," I reassure Sturm.

Besides, using Akasha without Lyria is a very bad idea because I don't want to accidentally erase something important from this world.

For example, i suddenly thinking about Ophis when I'm gonna erase something, Ophis would immediately be erased, and she would seem to have never appeared in the dimension gap at all.

And if Ophis is erased, then this world will try to function without Ophis' presence, maybe the leader of the Khaos Brigade will be someone different and not Ophis...

But I just want to see the future so I don't need Lyria's help because I can do it on my own.

"Rewriting history?" Grisella murmurs as she listens to me say that.

"Eh? What are you going to do, Lord Lucifer?" Rias looks panicked when she hears what I am saying.

She doesn't know what would happen if I do what I mentioned, and she doesn't want all this to happen just because she wanted me to train her.

"Don't worry, I will not do that, I just want to check something as I said," I then stand up and walk towards the exit door.

<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

I'm alone... or not because for some reason, Ophis decided to follow me, I thought she would prefer to stay home and eat all the snacks there.

But she chose to follow me, maybe she was curious about Akasha and wanted to see it, while Grisella and Rias waited at home and chose not to follow me.

After some time, I and Ophis finally arrived at a place that was open enough for me to summon Akasha because Akasha is too big so I cannot summon it just anywhere.

"This place is good enough" I said to Ophis, who was following me beside me.

"Hmm..." Ophis just murmured while nodding.

I then looked at this spacious area and admired the scenery a bit... because I created this dimension with a view similar to Zinkenstill in the Sky Realm. So seeing all this reminds me of memories when I and the others often visited this island.

Maybe when I returned to the Sky Realm, I should visit Zinkenstill because it has been a long time since I last went there.

I then looked up at the blue sky and finally called for Akasha.

"I order, under the protocol of Lucilius, the activation of the primal beast Akasha."

Twelve wings of various colors immediately appeared on my back after I said that.

"Beautiful..." Ophis murmured as she looked at my wings, she had already seen my wings like this when I was training with Sturm.

But at that time, she only saw them from afar and did not have a chance to examine them in detail.

"Activating the primal beast Akasha."

My twelve wings immediately shone and emitted a voice of a girl I knew, it was Lyria's voice for some reason, my wings chose to mimic Lyria's voice instead of any other voice.

Not long after, the two of us could see something slowly starting to appear in the sky.

That something was Akasha... huh, why did Akasha appear in its true form??? Did I use too much of my power to summon it?

[IMAGE]

After Akasha appeared fully, it finally opened its eyes and then we can see it bright red color and then staring at both of us.

Fyuuuuhh, this pressure is truly different from the usual primal beast, even I'm still not used to it whenever Akasha uses its true form and exerts its pressure.

*Grip* Suddenly, I felt Ophis holding onto my clothes... huh, it seems like she was slightly shocked by the pressure from Akasha. I will Just do this quickly and return Akasha back.

I then looked at Akasha and tried to connect my thoughts to it, and not long I could feel that my mind finally connected to Akasha.

'Tell me the future of this world without me getting involved.'

Upon hearing that, Akasha immediately emitted light and finally a lot of scenes entered my mind.
