Highschool DxD: Dragon's Ascent

Chapter 25: Discipline

Fuck...

I feel like I got the hit by the alcohol truck. Whatever Azazel brought was some real heavyweight shit. But it tasted so damn good, I wasn't unused to alcohol. Maybe I should try making some alcohol myself. Making a potion, making wine, same tree different branch.

Holding my throbbing forehead I manifested the green gem of the boosted gear on my right hand and pulled out the hangover potion I made before drinking just in case and drank it, feeling the effects vanish almost instantly I sighed in contentment. It feels great to be an alchemist.

After Azazel brought out the drinks we drank and ate, just talking about things and deepened our friendship of sorts. After finishing 3 bottles of undoubtedly incredibly expensive drinks Azazel went back, leaving me with the gaggle of crows dressed as maids.

Well, I guess I could still profit out of an annoying situation.

*Snap!* "All of you. Stand in front of me." I snapped my fingers to gain the attention of Raynare's gang who were scattered around the living room. Reluctantly, they gathered in front of me standing in a line.

"Since Azazel gave you 3 to me, I expect you to behave. If you don't give me a reason to treat you harshly, I won't. First of all. Which one of you is the best at cooking?" Since these 3 were mine I needed to establish some kind of order first. I sure as hell am not letting them be free in my house. Delegating some tasks will help keep them busy.

They nervously exchanged glances before Kalawarner stepped forward.

"I think that would be me."

"Alright, your job now is the cook. I expect you to prepare breakfast at 7:30, lunch at 1:30 and Dinner at 6:00. Alright? When you aren't doing that your job is to help clean." I said, getting a curt nod from Kalawarner as Raynare looked at her, flabbergasted.

"You." I pointed my finger at Mittelt who flinched.

"Y-yes?"

"Your job is to clean. If I find the house dirty, you are getting spanked." Mittelt flinched again as she nodded vehemently as Raynare looked outraged.

"What the hell are you all nodding along with this for!? Why should we obey this huma-" Raynare was cut off by Mittelt who looked equally as pissed and indignant.

"Shut up Raynare! It's all because of you that we are in this in the first place! If you-"

"Hey." My voice cut in harshly and made them turn to me.

"My ears hurt. If you are going to keep arguing so loudly I will punish you. Also, Raynare, I found a job for you. You will be my personal lab rat and assistant. Got that?" I honed my glare on them which made them shut up, Raynare glared at me but it faltered as she bit her lip and looked away.

"I am glad we have come to an agreement." I gestured for Raynare to follow me as I went down to my basement but not before shooting one more glance at them.
