Highschool DxD: Dragon's Ascent

Chapter 40: Feels good to be (D)Evil

I stood in front of Sirzechs and Grayfia with the smuggest, most punchable face I could muster. I knew they would accept. Well, they did not really have a choice.

Already I had texted Azazel about my decision to become a devil, getting some shock from him before he essentially said 'Sure, go ahead.' I knew he didn't really care for my race but the man is chiller than ice most of the time.

"So? Come to a decision?" Grayfia frowned, I could see a vein on her forehead as Sirzechs nodded.

"Yes, we have. We will accept your deal, in exchange for joining Rias' peerage my wife will be serving you for 10 years." Sirzechs said, putting emphasis on the word wife to show me what I was doing, as if warning.

Hah. I can't feel any fear. Either because my mother intentionally dropped me when I was a kid or I am just that mad.

Here I am, two months before I was delivering food on the side to cover my bills. Now?

I was asking Satan for his wife in front of him and he couldn't do anything about it.

Well, he could but I am too valuable, he can't pass up on an alchemist Ajuka and he can't afford to antagonize me either since you don't want alchemist Ajuka against you. And he can't kill me because Azazel is definitely not the only one in the Grigori who knows me, probably all scientists there and the cadres know my existence so killing me is out of the question unless you want to risk war.

I smirked.

"Alright then, how are we going to do this exactly? I don't think Rias is strong enough to revive me with any of her pieces." Not to toot my own horn or anything but Rias was nowhere strong enough to revive me as a Devil even with a mutated queen piece.

"For that, we will simply revive you using Grayfia's evil pieces and trade you to Rias, Grayfia has never touched her evil pieces. It will obviously be a Bishop piece as you would want I assume."

I nodded, that much was acceptable. I would prefer a queen piece but you can't really trade two queens into someone's peerage. Besides, my physicals aren't so high that I would benefit largely from it.

"That's alright I guess. But before that. I want my end of the deal fulfilled, as you might imagine I would not want to get fucked out of my end of the deal after becoming a devil." Sirzechs raised an eyebrow.

"And how would you do that? I don't plan to not fulfil my end of the deal and neither does Grayfia, it will be written on paper." I scoffed shaking my head.

Poor Sirzechs, he really takes me for a fool, doesn't he?

"Do I really seem that much of a fool? What's stopping Grayfia from not obeying my orders? She could just say no and what could I do about that? Slap her? I'd break my hand. Punish her how? I wouldn't be having a servant just another piece of living spyware in my house."

Grayfia looked angry at my doubting of her capabilities as a maid while Sirzechs simply raised his eyebrow.
