Highschool DxD: Dragon's Ascent

Chapter 55: Breakin x Business

~3rd Person~

"Hey! Takumi-kun! Great performance on that rating game! I like the touch of dragon-shaped attacks." Serafall gave Takumi a thumbs up as he stared at her blankly, both pleasant surprise and irritation showing on his face.

"Huh, it's strange, even though I have been a devil for over a week I haven't felt the urge to break into people's houses yet. Or does that happen at the one-month mark?" Serafall sweatdropped at that, making a note to use the door next time. Or not, she wanted to keep her dramatic entrances.

"Mou~ dont be so cold Takumi-kun! Your favourite magical girl satan is here to meet you personally." Seeing him chuckle Serafall smiled to herself, she actually did like Takumi quite a bit, he resembled a male Sona that was miles more playful, and he was totally her type.

Of course that was not even in the top 5 of the reasons why she was here. But enjoying the meetings while talking to a handsome face was preferable.

Takumi shook his head fondly as he sat down on his couch and offered her the one opposite of him, making sure to "accidentally" flash her pure white panties to Takumi as she did so. Definitely advanced negotiation tactics and nothing else.

Or that's what she would say to justify it, in truth, she liked teasing others way too much. And what better way to tease people than one of the satans wearing a magical girl outfit?

She needed a hobby, and acting like a magical girl was a great way to add a little colour to her life. Plus she just liked it.

As she sat down at the same time a woman in a very fashionable suit that resembled a mix between a bartender and butler with a mask on her face, she put the tea on the table before moving behind Takumi wordlessly. Taking a sip of her tea Serafall spoke.

"Mmm~ this tea is rather nice. Also who is she Takumi-kun? Your new maid?"

"Not really, she is C-1, my first combat model homunculi. She should be around as strong as a Middle-Class Devil." Hearing his words Serafall's eyes widened, he could already make homunculi that strong? Homunculi themselves were not really something of note, most alchemists could make them. But they were either completely independent people or barely intelligent meat puppets. Not like the one that Takumi seemed to have by his side.

His raw talent and the speed at which he started realizing that was terrifying. And unlike Ajuka who was an aloof genius who barely cared about anything not involved in Artificing Takumi was different, he had the light of ambition in his eyes.

She genuinely was afraid of a scenario in which the Old Satan Faction got their paws on him.

"Wow~ that's very impressive Takumi-kun! You are sure moving up the ladder rather fast." He nodded, he was also a rather prideful individual if his example of Riser wasn't enough. While that was not a bad trait to have it makes things harder.

"Sure is, anyway, what is your real reason for coming here Lady Leviathan? I assume it's related to the Rating Game yesterday." Takumi said, getting into the real crux of the matter as Serfall was forced to drop her persona slightly and get serious.
