Chapter 146: Time to act

The next day, as I entered the school, Akeno was the first to greet me with a mischievous smile. "It seems you missed a big opportunity to screw Rias yesterday," she said, her voice dripping with playful tease.

News really travel fast, doesn't it?

I sighed, knowing exactly what she was referring to. The stunt Rias pulled last night had been quite the event. "Yeah, well, things got... complicated," And horny for me, I said.

I can still feel the softness if her breast in my hands.

Akeno's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Complicated? That's one way to put it. Rias was really determined, wasn't she?" seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Determined might be an understatement," I said, leaning against the table. "She was ready to go all the way just to prove a point."

"What are you talking about? Did something happen yesterday?" Asia, who was with me, asked after hearing Akeno and me.

I hadn't told her what happened the previous night as she was already asleep. The stunt Rias pulled wasn't something Asia could handle easily; she would blush furiously and might faint from embarrassment.

"You didn't tell her?" Akeno asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No, I didn't," I admitted, scratching the back of my head. "It wasn't exactly something that would be easy for her to hear."

Akeno's eyes glinted with a mix of curiosity and mischief. "Oh, come on, Alex. Don't leave her in the dark. It's part of the family now, right?"

Asia looked between us, clearly confused but eager to understand. "What happened? Did something bad happen to Rias?"

"Not bad, exactly," I said, trying to find the right words. "It's just... well, Rias tried to make a point about her engagement to Riser by, uh, taking things to a very personal level."

"President is engaged," Asia suddenly said.

"You didn't tell her about this either?" Akeno asked with a sigh, shaking her head.

I scratched the back of my head, "Rias only told me about she being engaged just recently. But yes, Asia, Rias is engaged to someone named Riser Phenex. It's not something she wants, though, and we're working on a way to break it."

Asia looked worried. "Why is she engaged to him if she doesn't want to be? And what do you mean by taking things to a very personal level?" she asked, her innocent face tilting in curiosity.

Akeno chuckled softly. "Well, let's just say Rias was willing to go to extreme lengths to make her point, which means she was going make a baby with Alex-kun."

Hearing that, Asia started to blush at an insane speed, her face turning a deep shade of red.

"A-A baby?!" Asia stammered, her voice barely a whisper as she looked at me with wide eyes.

I shot Akeno a look. "What have you done, Akeno? Look, Asia is going to faint from embarrassment."

Akeno just laughed, clearly amused by Asia's reaction. "Oh, come on, Alex. She needed to know the truth eventually."

I sighed, gently patting Asia's shoulder. "It's okay, Asia. Nothing happened. We're just trying to help Rias out of a difficult situation."

Asia nodded, still blushing furiously. "I-I understand. I just... wasn't expecting that."

"She thought that by, uh, getting very close to me, it might give her an out from the engagement."

Asia's eyes widened in understanding, and she blushed. "Oh... I see."

"Yeah, it was a bold move," I said. "But it didn't go as planned. A maid showed up and stopped things before they got too far."

Yes, too bad, otherwise I would have become Sirzechs's brother in law.

Akeno's expression turned more serious. "Rias is desperate, and she's willing to do whatever it takes to get out of this engagement."

Asia's worry deepened. "Is there really no other way to help her?"

"Oh, Asia, do you really think when I am here Riser will able to marry Rias by force." I said trying to look cool.

"After all, if Rias got married, Alex-kun would lose one harem member," Akeno added with a teasing grin.

Damn it, Akeno, I thought. Are you and Death somehow related?

Akeno's teasing tone and mischievous smile did little to hide the genuine concern she had for Rias. I could see it in her eyes, despite her playful facade.

I was about to retort when I sensed a different magic power—one that belonged to the Gremory family but felt unfamiliar. It could only mean one thing: Riser was here to meet Rias.

"Someone's coming," I said, "We need to get to the clubroom, now."

Akeno nodded, her playful demeanor vanishing. Asia looked confused but followed our lead as we quickly made our way to the Occult Research Clubroom.

Upon arriving, we saw Rias standing there, facing a tall young man with short blond hair and blue eyes.

Seeing this I had only one thought.

The time has come for me to act as the arrogant Young Master.
