Harem Daily Life in High School DxD

Kuroba smiled brightly.

That's at least how Yuno sees it.

"Although it's not very ethical for a demon to do this, it's not worth it if you have to pay a price just to make friends. After all, if you put in the effort and give your heart, you'll always have close friends by your side."

"Do you...really want to consider me a friend?"

Yuno stared at Kuroba in disbelief.

"Well... if you don't mind that I'm a devil..."

Kuroba scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

Upon hearing this, Yuno shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

"do not mind!"

"Then there's no problem, hehe."

Immediately, Kuroba glanced around the room and noticed that his favorite game disc was being played not far away.

"Oh! You have this too? I love playing with it!"

Yuno suddenly became lively, as if some switch had been flipped.

"Really! Want to have a duel? I'm really good!"

"Hey? Who's afraid of who! Come on!"

Chapter Twelve: I've Been Forcibly Kissed the Whole Time (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

And so, Kuroba and Yuno played games together for the entire night, and Kuroba didn't say anything more about the contract.

In the morning, when Kuroba was about to leave.

"Um, you have to keep this a secret for me... I'll be in big trouble if my master finds out."

Yuno looked at the embarrassed boy in front of her and felt a surge of impulse for some reason.

She rushed forward and took Kuroha's arm in hers.

Under Kuroba's astonished gaze, he kissed her.

"Well...!"

The girl's fragrance was intoxicating, and her breath carried a faint, refreshing scent.

Compared to Amano Yuuma's kiss, for some reason Kuroba felt this one was more real.

fleeting.

Yuno then left Kuroba's side, lowering her head shyly and fidgeting with her fingers in a very coy manner.

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

Kuroba smiled helplessly.

"Why should you apologize? Shouldn't I be the one who benefits?"

"No...no...it was all my own choice..."

Yuno finally looked up and smiled at Kuroba.

Goodbye, my friend. I'll come looking for you again.

Yuno closed the door.

Kuroba touched his lips.

"What kind of friendship requires a kiss upon seeing each other again...?"

Hei Yu immediately remembered that he had failed his first mission, and he squatted down in distress.

"I'm doomed, Rias-senpai is going to kill me with her scolding..."

Little did they know that Yuno, who was slumped against the door in embarrassment, overheard all of this.

She couldn't help but chuckle.

"So even demons have good guys..."

When he got home, Kuroba saw Rias-senpai sleeping lazily in his room.

It's unclear whether Kuroba's actions were a bit too much or if Rias was simply waiting for Kuroba.

Less than a minute after Kuroba returned, Rias opened her eyes.

"Are you back? How are you?"

"Hmm...it failed."

"Really? It's okay. After all, not every contract can be successful. Don't be discouraged."

As she spoke, Rias reached out to comfort Kuroba.

But the moment she touched her, Rias's expression changed.

She grabbed the black feather and examined it carefully, looking at it in surprise.

"Kuroba, what have you done?"

Kuroba didn't know why Rias reacted so strongly, but he still honestly told her the truth.

"It was a normal contract formation, but it failed because the conditions weren't right, so I spent the whole night playing games with her..."

"that's it?"

Rias straddled Kuroha, pressing closer and closer.

"And then...she kissed me before I left?... "

Rias fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

"Rias-senpai?"

Because Rias's expression wasn't good, Kuroba tentatively called out to her.

But Rias suddenly looked up, startling Kuroba.

Rias suddenly grabbed Kuroba and kissed him.

Kuroba was stunned. What was going on today?

He felt Rias's fragrant tongue sliding inside his mouth, the captivating taste permeating his entire oral cavity.

Seemingly because of the comfort, one could even hear seductive moans emanating from Rias's lips.

The kiss was long, lasting until Kuroba himself felt suffocated before Rias finally pulled away.

Kuroba felt that Rias seemed a little weak after she got up, though he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.

However, Rias ignored her own situation and instead began to investigate Kuroba's condition once again.

"really!"

Rias looked somewhat agitated.

Kuroba looked at Rias with some confusion.

"Senior... what's wrong?"

Rias excitedly hugged Kuroba, her snow-white skin pressing tightly against him.

"Kuroba, you really are strong!"

Kuroba was somewhat bewildered by Rias's actions.

"I'm strong?"

After being excited for a long time, Rias forcibly suppressed her joy and explained to Kuroba.

"When you came back, I inadvertently examined your body and found that in addition to the magic power that was being constantly devoured by the artifact, your body had an additional unknown magic power. And after the experiment just now, I learned a fact."

"What...is it?"

"When you kissed me just now, you were constantly plundering the power within me and using it for your own purposes. Although most of it is slowly dissipating, a tiny portion is still nourishing your body. In other words, given enough time, you could become infinitely strong!"

Rias's eyes were filled with joy, as if Kuroba's growing stronger was her proudest achievement.

"is that so..."

Kuroba looked at his hands, feeling somewhat unreal. Although he did feel that his strength seemed to have increased a little, it wasn't as precise as Rias had said.

"Not only that, huh? Kuroba, try summoning your divine artifact."

Although somewhat confused, Kuroba did as instructed.

But he was stunned when he summoned the artifact.

"This is..."

The gauntlets summoned by Black Feather had faint black shadows on them, making them look like a chess piece.

"This is the king."

"king?"

"As I told you before, demons are also divided into classes, and the distinction between reincarnated demons is similar to chess, with kings, queens, chariots, knights, monks, and pawns. This division is something that demons created to determine who is superior. We call it a board game. Right now, because I'm not qualified enough, I haven't participated in the board game, but I will inevitably join in the future."

"So what is my position?"

Rias hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"You are a soldier."

Kuroba couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"As expected, it's the most useless one..."

Rias gently cupped Kuroba's face in her hands.

"Although you are a soldier, you are special. The phantom that is now appearing on you is the best proof. You can plunder everyone's abilities and use them for your own purposes temporarily. In a sense, you are more strategically important than anyone else."

Kuroba gazed at Rias's gentle face and murmured to himself.

"Can I help Rias-senpai?"
