NOVEL NEXT Chapter 57: Rias confesses
When the members of the Occult Research Club saw Gaspar run out of his room, although they already knew that Gaspar could escape from the seal somehow, they found it very strange to see him outside during the day.
Especially Rias who now had her hands on her forehead.
"Oneechan..."
"What's wrong Gaspar?"
"I want to live with Onechan, I don't want to be here alone anymore..."
"But if you come to live with me, you'll have to travel to school every day. Are you sure you want to go outside?"
"mm..."
"How about we take it slow and you start taking classes with me?"
"Mm..." Gaspar nodded on Christel's chest, anyone would think that he was taking advantage and rubbing oil on Christel's breasts, but Gaspar is not a boy who thinks that way.
Although Kuoh Academy started out as an all-girls' high school, Gaspar is the only boy enrolled, and is in the same year as Christel, Koneko, Ravel, and Ruruko, in his third year of high school.
As he is a man dressed in a school uniform, because according to him, he feels better that way and is more comfortable. He can go unnoticed as a girl, and although he does not go to classes, all of Christel's classmates know that there is a shy girl with serious problems of extreme social isolation and self-imposed seclusion.
And they only know that Koneko, and now also Christel, are the ones in charge of carrying out the tasks requested by the teachers to Gaspar. By the way, in some way Christel took the position of -Iinchou (委員長)- or Class Representative, also due to her participation in the student union, so it is normal for the teachers to give Christel assignments to do this or organize that.
After Gaspar's interruption, they put Christel's judgment aside, Akeno, upon meeting her, placed a plate with pastries and tea, so Christel enjoyed a snack while talking to Rias and the others about what happened in the construction of the haunted house.
Although Rias and the others did not tell the truth to Christel, as a privy to the inside story from her previous life, the problem lies in Rias' use of real ghosts that went berserk and control over them was lost.
Some girls from the tennis club were slightly injured when they got scared and tried to run away. Although the ghosts themselves didn't hurt them, the girls fell and suffered bruises and scrapes on their skin. The school took it as a minor accident and believed that the haunted house was so well made that they got scared and what happened happened.
Although the parents of the affected girls took it as something funny and downplayed it, the school was asked to have more control over the activities of some clubs. And the one who sought a fight against the Occult Research Club, and against Rias, was the leader of the Tennis Club, Kiyome Abe, although she has just acquired the presidency of the Tennis Club, she wants to establish her prestige with this event by proving that she can protect her girls.
Kiyome Abe is a tennis player who gained prominence in last year's tournament even though she was in her first year. Although they did not win the tournament, her participation was very valuable, so when the previous leader graduated, she passed the baton to her, and she has the desire to win the tournament this year.
Christel conjured her neural cells to search for the memories of this character.
'There doesn't seem to be much about Kiyome other than the fact that she comes from a family of beast tamers, and that she entered Kuoh Academy at the same time as Rias Gremory, Akeno Himejima, Sona Sitri, and Tsubaki Shinra.
She appears only at an event where she takes an interest in Issei and challenges Rias to a one-on-one tennis match to bet on Issei himself. When Issei helps her break the engagement her father imposed on her, she falls in love with him.
She is a very gentle and kind girl, and she takes great care of the creatures she has domesticated, and even teaches them to play tennis with her.
But if we have to say her most outstanding attribute is that Kiyome is a young woman with a large bust that can compete with Rias and Akeno, she has long brown hair arranged in multiple drill-shaped curls and eyes of the same color.
These are all memories she has about Kiyome, and apparently she hasn't appeared in the anime in her past life, so she doesn't have an exact image of what she looks like. Although Christel gets along well with the Kendo club, she has actually had little contact with the girls in the Tennis club.
After eating some cakes and calming Gaspar down, Christel received a message from Lala saying that they were ready to go home. And after thinking about it for a while, Christel decided to go back home with them and not go to the company, she wants to rest a little and it's nice to spend time with this promised one who fell from the sky.
But when Christel was about to say goodbye, Rias stopped her.
"Wait, Christel, I want to talk to you alone."
"He?..." 'He wouldn't challenge me to a game of chess too, would he?'
"Can you accompany me to my room?" Rias stood up from the desk and walked towards Christel, when she stood in front of her, she extended her hand and said.
Christel took it and let Rias guide her. The main office of the Occult Research Club has two doors on the sides, Rias led Christel to the opposite door from the one Serafall last came out of, and it is the door that leads to Rias's private room.
The others just watched this and didn't say anything, though Koneko felt a bit annoyed and Akeno just kept a polite smile but her eyes also showed a hint of annoyance. They knew what Rias wanted to do but they couldn't find a reason to stop her, which made them even more annoyed.
Yuuto, not counting Gaspar, as the only man, just smiles and wants to stay away from all this.
Rias Gremory and her followers normally live in this old building, although they do have a house nearby and it is used for registration so that the humans who attend the school do not see the oddity. For the others, it is normal for Rias and her people to spend time in the old building when they are not in class.
Rias's house is close to the subway station, so Christel has accompanied Koneko home on occasion.
But this is the first time Christel has entered Rias's room in the old building. The room is spacious and furnished with elegant, high-quality pieces, such as a desk, armchairs, and tea table made of higher-quality wood than the furniture outside and in dark red tones.
The walls of the room are decorated with classical art paintings and ornaments and some demonic symbols. And it is illuminated by floor and table lamps with a warm light that creates a soft and relaxing atmosphere along with large windows that allow natural light to enter, but it is dimmed by the red and gold tone of the heavy curtains.
There are also several books and personal items such as portraits and souvenirs that show his personality and taste.
The bed is large and elegant, with a canopy that adds a touch of majesty. The sheets and bedspreads follow the rococo and gold color, showcasing Rias's signature favorite color.
Holding hands, Christel was guided by Rias to the bed, then she was gently pushed by the shoulders to sit down and Rias sat next to her with her hands on her knees.
Although Christel finds it strange that he sits her in bed, after all this time Rias sometimes asks to be alone, usually they are in the office or somewhere else on the first floor of the old building and he just kisses her, although Rias turns a little red and a little embarrassed, she doesn't stop until she feels satisfied.
Ever since they first accidentally kissed each other when he made her join his club, there have been times when Rias kisses Christel when no one is around. At first there was some shyness, but as time has passed and the number of times they kiss has increased, it has become more comfortable and more natural to kiss.
Christel knows that Rias kisses her not out of love, in three months her power has grown as if she trained for a whole year. And although there is no love as such, it is not that Christel complains and actually enjoys it.
But this time it feels a bit strange. Rias would never ask to talk alone when the other club members are in the living room or office. And the strangest thing is that Akeno didn't say anything as usual. You could say that Akeno is subordinate to Rias, but they treat each other like best friends and normally Akeno would tease Rias, but this time she just stayed silent.
'It seems that they had already talked about it before Akeno brought me... It could be seen that the trial game was just that, a game. But it was visibly noticeable that she was a little upset because I went to the student union first to see Sona and didn't come directly. Next time I will send her a message explaining the reason...'
"Rias, I'm sorry, I actually went to Sona first because the school nurse asked me to take her nephew to finish his school transfer... and Lala's sisters too, so..."
"Mm, I know, I don't blame you... much. So Lala-san's sisters huh~ that makes them, your sisters-in-law?"
"Heee... Well, something like that, hehe~"
"Christel. What do you think about having a female girlfriend and not a male boyfriend?" Rias turned to look at Christel and gently took her hand.
"iugg! I would never date a man, I don't like them... maybe you think it's weird, but I have no interest in men" 'You're kidding Rias! I'm not gay!'
"Hehe~ but you don't have problems with Gaspar, before I knew it you met him and you have good contact with him, I don't know how you got him to pay attention to you, he doesn't listen to me..." Rias ended up pouting when she said this.
She feels a little helpless around Gaspar, but is glad that Christel can get him out of his box and even out of his room. She was pleasantly surprised today to see Gaspar out for the day.
"Gaspar is different, she is so beautiful and soft, also very delicate that there are times when I want to throw him to the floor and take advantage of her, besides, although I know that I speak in a very masculine way, I am aware of the reality, I am a girl, and one day I would like to give mom a grandchildren, I suppose that at that moment I can take Gaspar (?)" Christel said, and placed the fingers of her free hand on her chin as if thinking.
The last one is actually a no-serious sentence, Christel certainly doesn't need a man to be able to give birth to children as she has realized, there is black-crow Raynare who can knock up her, as well as the girls of the Rogue Camp who cultivate the spiritual method of the Sightless Eye.
Not counting the silly Succubus Maria who actually knock up her the first time. It's the clear example of the sillier he is, the more fertile he is too!
Rias heard this last thing and was shocked. Although she can understand Christel's point as well, obviously as a human, she needs a male of her species in order to procreate. 'But Gaspar is not a human male, he is a Vampire! Well, half human and half vampire, maybe Christel's idea is not so wrong...'
Lluvia is happy to see her daughter making lots of friends, and although having a relationship of this kind with Lala seems more like a game than anything else. But it is true that there are times when she worries about her dear daughter, she is not stupid, she has seen Christel's tastes and attitudes throughout her life. And although she is now calm knowing that her daughter associates with girls and not with boys, she would certainly like her daughter to form a family in the future.
"So, Christel, what do you think about us being in a relationship..."
