A Deathless' Return (Male Reader x DXD)

Chapter 4: Issei, and Ausar's Influence

It's been a week since the meeting with the devils and things on both ends have been going well. There was one condition for this alliance, neither Zeoticus nor Sirzechs are to reveal that Y/n is Ausar to the devils. Y/n's training has progressed enough to give his advisors confidence in being able to deal with the Deathless. This Mistress character hasn't been seen or mentioned across the world, but Japan. This was a sense of familiarity for both Raidriar and Lelindre and narrowed down their list of Deathless that are possibly still alive.

"Our list has been cut down by a lot, but there are still a few that still operated in Japan before the Great War," Lelindre informed, "Myself included, but I'm already off that list."

"How many were Ausar's subordinates," Y/n asked, hoping this would shorten the list more.

"Only three, but we are still not sure if they would be likely to do something this bold," Raidriar seemed unsure of the remaining names that were on the list.

"I'm guessing that ever since Ausar disappeared, one of those three have been lying in wait for his return if he ever did," Y/n had thought about it, "So the best way to figure out who it is, is to figure out who has the most motive to try and gain my attention after Ausar's reveal was spread."

Raidriar smiled under his helmet and scratched off two names, leaving one more, "This one, she had tried to get Ausar's attention the most during the Great War and was the one who wanted to take his mantle, yet turn it towards the humans. It never worked since I was there to stop her every advance."

"Saydhi, information dealer trying to take up Ausar's mantle and gain more forces," Y/n shook his head, "I doubt she'd be that much of a problem and she is way out of her element."

"Do not underestimate her," Lelindre warned, "So if you do encounter her, be on your guard."

Y/n nodded, "Right, thank you."

"Now you'd best get going. You have school in a few hours, and you can't be late," Raidriar mentioned.

"Thank you, I'll leave the rest of these matters to you then," Y/n stood up.

He looked to his forearm and tapped a button or two, he was teleported to his house, where his clothes for Kuoh were at. He got dressed quickly, and walked out the door, wanting to meet Rias in the Old School Building. As he walked onto school grounds, he was talked about by quite a lot of the girls. Quite recently, he's been called the Dark King of Kuoh by the majority of the girls and quite a few of the boys. Kiba himself found the name amusing when it was first brought up, even though he is the Prince of Kuoh.

"I'm not quite sure how they see me that way, but I'm flattered for it," Y/n spoke softly to himself.

Y/n walked into the ORC and met everyone in the clubroom. He could tell that Rias looked pleased, but for an unknown reason to Y/n.

"Do you want to explain what's gotten you in a good mood," Y/n asked, smiling in her direction.

"I have a new peerage member, he doesn't know about it, but I will explain it to him tomorrow," Rias answered, "I you would be so kind as to watch him tonight and prevent anyone from killing him, I would appreciate it."

"Sure, just who is it that I'm being asked to protect," Y/n raised an eyebrow.

Rias looked at Y/n only to smile, "It's Issei Hyoudou."

"Is it too much to ask to let him get wounded," Y/n immediately asked.

"I would prefer he is unharmed," Rias gave him a begging look, "Will you please make sure he isn't harmed?"

The look she was giving him gave him a glimpse of another memory, where this Yasaka that he kept thinking about would beg the same way. Y/n hung his head in defeat, letting Rias know that she had won.
