Tales of the Ruin Princess

Chapter 14: Issei's answer, the Iris gem and rias's mother.

After asking Issei out on a date, rias went downstairs and told Irina. Irina was happy for Rias, and helped her out with her clothing for tomorrow but, rias didn't seem to happy about wearing different clothes.

"What's wrong with what i'm wearing right now?" Rias wondered

"Well, it's revealing, second you need to look proper on a date. You need to wear something... casual."Irina explained

"Casual? I don't think i have something casual." Rias admitted

"Don't worry, we can buy you some new clothes, something to replace those old ones." Irina assured

"Irina, as much as i want to listen to you i can't get rid of these garments. If i took them off, i would forget why i'm here in the first place. Why i'm seeking revenge in the first place." Rias said in a depressed tone

Knowing that throwing away Rias's current outfit was a bad idea, Irina scrapped the idea.

"Alright, if you're fine with that outfit then i am too. But you need to wear something else on this date." Irina told rias

"Thank you." Rias thanked.

Irina, then took Rias out into leefside to help find Something proper for her date tomorrow. After a few hours of looking around, irina found a dress that suited rias the most. It was a black dress and rias seemed to like it. In the next day after picking out an outfit, Rias waited Patiently for Issei to show up. After a few minutes, he showed up wearing his usual clothes.

"Sorry, did i keep you waiting?" Issei wondered with an uneasy feeling

"No, not at all." Rias assured

"Thanks." Issei thanked with relief

"So... what do you want to do?" Rias wondered nervously

"I should be the asking that but whatever. I want to head back to Lunaris for a bit." Issei suggested

"Lunaris? What for?" Rias wondered

"I heard they recently found a Gem that show people the past. The celestial record dubs that gem as "Iris gems" or "Earthen Historias." We ran into kuroka the other day and she told me about it. So i figured since we're on this date, we can get that Iris gem and figure out your past, not to mention how you housed so much power in such little time." Issei explained

"I was thinking maybe we could just walk around town. But, if you insist on going, then i won't stop you." Rias said with defeat

"Sorry, that's my "ruin geek side" i need to get it under control." Issei apologized

"Don't be. Besides, i think it's worth looking into." Rias assured

"Thanks." Issei thanked

So the two travelled back to Lunaris. After travelling back, they decided to ask around about the Iris gem issei mention. While gathering info, someone mentioned how a woman in fancy clothes had it and went to the highest point of the village. After obtaining that Info, the two met up and went to the highest point of the village

"You know, if we weren't looking for that gem, this would be romantic." Rias admitted

"Yeah, but, if that gem can do what the celestial record says, then i maybe be able to unlock your past and understand why you hate your family." Issei agreed

"You're right." Rias agreed

Rias thinks about what might happen if issei looks into her past

"What ever you see when you obtain the iris gem, do you promise not to be scared?" Rias asked nervously
