Highschool DxD: Dragon's Ascent

Chapter 15: A Harem King?

Oh boy, back to high school, but this time with a goal in mind.

I needed to approach Rias about some potion ingredients and I also wanted to show her what my potions can do.

There were several reasons as to why I would want to do this. First of all, she is basically like my Patron currently, impressing her will make her invested in me, wanting to provide me with more resources to see what I could do with them and with that the hope of recruiting me.

I was like a CEO trying to impress the shareholders somewhat. That's what a magician's contract is about after all. There was also another reason.

Rias was no doubt close with her brother, you know, that guy.

Satan.

Otherwise known as the guy who is destruction incarnate who can destroy the planet. Lucifer.

Showing my abilities to her also helps me... advertise indirectly to one of the strongest people in existence. Although that won't be too beneficial to me since he is more of a president of a country than a god, it might be good to be known as the talented magician who can produce potions that Rias is contracted to in his eyes.

If I was in his place, I wouldn't want me to die as long it wasn't too much effort. So if he noticed me I could throw his name around recklessly as a protection for myself regardless of the consequences for him.

Ah politics, you love to abuse it. If you play by the rules set by the boring old people who are the main players you are just falling into their trap. You don't need hesitation or wariness, be bold and brash or else you will end up in the trash.

After all, the easiest way to win in chess was to just simply flip the board over.

Anyway, it would be good to receive some funding and resources is what I am saying. By the day I am getting more tempted to start my garden but unfortunately, I do not have the time to look after a garden.

Hmm, this reminds of me something, it would really help me if I had some helpers. After all, I cannot be bothered to use the valuable time I have to clean my house or tend to herbs.

What if I get some slaves? I mean servants or workers or whatever is fine honestly. I just need someone to take care of the other tasks for me while I focus on the important stuff.

Oh, wait, I have an idea on how I could get a servant, one that I don't even have to pay for that matter. Sure it may take some investment of time and charisma but.

There is a stray Nun who will be heading to this town sometime soon. And considering that by the time she arrives, the fallen that called her here will be super dead there will be no one to take of her, especially no Issei since that Boosted Gear is mine.

She was raised in a church, she is already bred and trained for unpaid labour already. As long as I give her a roof to live under, give her food and do not treat her like absolute filth.
