Harem Daily Life in High School DxD

"Leza is someone I've known since I was a child. He's always been that kind of person, not a bad person at heart, and we can get along well as friends."

Upon hearing this, Kuroba looked at Rias as if he had remembered something.

"Rias-senpai, I have some questions for you."

Liya nodded with a sweet smile.

"Just now, Leisa said he wanted to thank me, acting like he was finally free from suffering. Did I do something to him?"

Rias was taken aback by what she heard, and clenched her fists tightly.

"Leza..."

"Rias-senpai?"

Looking at the curious Kuroba, Rias blushed and stammered, unable to say anything.

“Leza...he was originally my fiancé.”

Rias's words were completely unexpected by Kuroba.

But he immediately noticed something was wrong.

"original?..."

Rias glared at Kuroba with annoyance.

This guy is usually so slow-witted, why is he suddenly so perceptive at a time like this?

As she thought about it, Rias became very angry, and she reached out and twisted Kuroba's ear.

"Yes, yes! Originally! But because of someone's appearance, this plan was canceled! The reason he's playing this match with me is purely because my brother took this matter to Leisa and threatened him that if he didn't play, the engagement would continue! Understand?"

Kuroba nodded blankly.

"He's blackmailing her into continuing the engagement... Is he stupid? Rias-senpai is such a good girl, why would he blackmail her? Is he blind?"

"Shh!"

Rias felt her face instantly flush red, and chaotic magic swirled above her head. Rias looked at Kuroba with a dizzy and disoriented expression.

"I...I'm tired, I need to rest!"

After saying that, Rias didn't even leave through the front door, but flew away through the window.

Kuroba scratched his head as he watched this scene.

"What's wrong with Rias-senpai?"

"Wow, you unconsciously uttered some scumbag quotes. In a way, I admire you, Kuroba-senpai."

The kitten went to the sofa and ate snacks, mumbling incoherently about Black Feather.

Zhu Nai also covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"You've got some skills to push Rias to this point, Kuroba, haven't you?"

Yuuki nodded.

"He's an idiot."

"He's an idiot." X2.

Even Yuuma and Asia stared at Kuroba in shock.

"Huh? What's wrong with me?"

Kuroba felt somewhat confused.

Wait... someone's appearance... that's why the plan was canceled?

Could this "someone" be me?!

Kuroba's eyes widened immediately.

"Oh, so someone's finally figured it out?"

Zhu Nai teased Hei Yu.

Kuroba couldn't help but look in the direction Rias had gone.

Rias-senpai... In that case, this competition becomes even more significant. It's not just about proving your judgment, but also about proving that I have the ability and skill to stand by your side and protect you...

"I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. I'll be back tomorrow."

No one knew what Kuroba was thinking; they only knew that after a moment of stunned silence, Kuroba left those words and rushed out of the room.

"Well... putting everything else aside, this sense of responsibility is admirable."

Zhu Nai squinted slightly, looking at the receding Kuroba and muttering to herself.

In the silent, deserted ruins, Kuroba sat casually on the ground, his mind immersed in the endless sea of ​​fire.

He looked up at the unusually serious Crimson Dragon Emperor.

"Crimson Dragon Emperor, what price must I pay if I want to use your full power?"

"cost?"

The Crimson Dragon Emperor glanced at Black Feather with disdain.

"I'm not saying this to be rude, but what do you have that's interesting to me? I've lived this long and seen everything, why would I care about your little price?"

The Crimson Dragon Emperor extended its claws, the sharp tips pressing against Black Feather's chest. The gleaming sharpness made Black Feather feel that he could be pierced with just a little force.

"But if you insist on saying so, then I want your...heart."

Chapter 41 Senior, use this

heart?

Upon hearing this, Kuroba's pupils contracted slightly, and his body trembled involuntarily.

But he quickly calmed down.

Taking my heart is tantamount to taking my life. I've never heard of a demon living without a heart.

Kuroba gripped his fist tightly.

but...

"Alright, I agree! As long as you lend me all your power when I'm in danger, my life is yours, as long as you can protect Rias-senpai's reputation!"

Kuroba looked resolutely at the laughing Crimson Dragon Emperor.

The Crimson Dragon Emperor gave Black Feather a meaningful look and exhaled a burst of scorching breath from his nostrils.

“Interesting little guy, no problem, I agree. If there’s nothing else, then get lost.”

With a fierce flap of its fleshy wings, the Crimson Dragon Emperor caused Black Feather to find himself amidst the ruins in a daze of surprise.

Kuroba took a deep breath and slowly moved towards home.

Little did he know that inside his body, the Crimson Dragon Emperor was laughing strangely, seemingly unaware of the reason.

"It's been so long... since I've met such an interesting little guy. I'm already looking forward to seeing what tomorrow will bring..."

Back home, Kuroba felt sticky all over, so he decided to take a shower.

Thinking about tomorrow's fierce battle, he was somewhat dazed and didn't notice the alluring and large bra in the locker room.

"Wow."

When Kuroba pulled open the bathroom door.

The red-haired figure inside also turned around in astonishment, staring directly at Kuroba.

"Rias-senpai, I'm sorry, I was thinking about something and didn't notice!"

Kuroba hurriedly tried to leave and closed the bathroom door.

"Stop, come back."

Kuroba stood frozen in place, his back turned, unsure whether to go forward or backward, looking extremely awkward.

But with his sharp ears and eyes, he heard footsteps behind him, and then a large, soft mass, warm with hot water, pressed against his back.

Are you avoiding me or blaming me?

Behind her, Rias's almost murmured murmurs could be heard.

Why should I blame Rias-senpai?

Kuroba looked up at the lights in the locker room, his tone sounding somewhat strange.

"Because... I not only hid a lot of things from you, but I also added a lot of pressure to you. It seems that I have completely messed up your life."

Rias's voice sounded inexplicably low, which was different from the cold and decisive Rias that Kuroba remembered.

"That's absolutely not true, senior... If you hadn't saved me, I might not even have a life anymore, right? As my savior, you gave me a new life, so it's only natural that I work hard for you, isn't it?"

Kuroba spoke these words with the utmost optimism.

"Is he just your savior? Is there no other kind of feeling involved?"

Rias gripped Kuroba's hand tightly, her tension increasing with the urgency of his answer, as if she dared not hear it.

Kuroba took a deep breath, made up his mind, and turned around.

Seeing Rias's surprised and slightly pitiful expression, Kuroba couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her cheek.

"Of course it's more than that... Senior, you've taken such good care of me all this time. With such a beautiful woman by my side every day, how could I not have any other thoughts? I like you, Senior."

Having received a satisfactory answer, Rias smiled gently as she nestled against Kuroba's chest, listening quietly to his heartbeat.

Kuroba used this position to stroke Rias's beautiful red hair.

"That's why, as your first debut battle, I can't possibly let you down. Just like what I said in the club, even if it costs me my life, I will make sure you win. I know I'm weak, but I want to protect you and my friends' smiles with my own hands."

"Don't push yourself too hard. If you really die, you'll lose everything. As a demon, you can't be resurrected."

Rias took Kuroba's words as mere encouragement and didn't really take them seriously.

Kuroba simply smiled and offered no explanation.

The bathroom fell silent instantly. Neither of them spoke, but Rias's face grew increasingly flushed.
