Harem Daily Life in High School DxD

No, he couldn't hold back any longer. Kuroba's mind went blank with rage, and his right hand manifested the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlet, glowing with black and red magic, as he punched Sazex in the face.

"Hey..."

Sazex casually blocked Kuroba's attack with one hand, while resting his chin on his other hand and watching Kuroba with interest, seemingly unconcerned about Kuroba's rudeness.

"Why are you so angry? Rias is just your savior. You've already given your life for her once, haven't you? You're even now. What's so great about such a simple relationship that you're angry about?"

Seeing Sazex's actions, Kuroba calmed down a bit. He sat opposite Sazex, staring at him while taking a deep breath.

"During the time I was unconscious, I swore that I would become stronger, and I would not allow anyone who dared to harm Rias to live in this world, not even you, Demon Lord. If you still want to force Rias to do things she doesn't like, then unless you kill me now, I will do everything I can to take Rias away from me."

"Oh? Hahahaha, is that so? Is that how it is, Kuroba? Do you know who you're blackmailing?"

Sazex laughed heartily.

"But it doesn't matter, I like your attitude. Next up is Rias's engagement ceremony, okay? So, are you going to try and steal it?"

"I'll take it! If Rias-senpai doesn't want it, I'll take it from whoever she is!"

Sazex looked at Kuroba with amusement.

"Don't you want to ask who's engaged to whom first?"

This question completely baffled Kuroba.

Yes, hasn't the issue with Leisa already been resolved?

Who is Narias with?

"who?..."

Sazex suppressed a laugh as he looked at Kuroba's expression and pointed a finger at him.

"You?"

Wait a minute? Me? Engaged to Rias?

Why did things change like this?

Who can tell me!

Sazex was delighted by Kuroba's expression and burst into laughter.

"Boy, do you know that it's impossible for a male to be on Rias's list of familiars? If a male is on the list, it means that she has her eye on that person. No one has ever been able to force Rias, because of my existence. I am the strongest demon king in the underworld, and I can do this much."

Am I... Rias's preferred choice?

Kuroba was dumbfounded.

Sazex ignored Kuroba and continued talking.

"Of course, our cooperation with the Phoenix family is real, and it's also true that you ruined it. So, as the instigator of everything, you need to make amends, understand?"

"How...how can we make amends?"

Kuroba was so overwhelmed by all of this that he started to stutter; his brain simply couldn't handle such intense activity.

Sazex chuckled.

"The guy inside you is someone outside our three major camps: demons, angels, and fallen angels. He has never belonged to anyone before, but this time he obediently signed a contract with you, which proves your extraordinary nature. In order to make your existence in our demon camp more stable, that's why today's events happened. That is, an engagement. And not only Rias, but you also need to be engaged to Rebel Phoenix, okay? You're really getting a good deal, you brat."

Kuroba was stunned after hearing this...

This trip to the devil is a bit strange...

Chapter 53 Trying to Make a Formal Arrangement

When Rias got off the carriage, she clearly noticed Kuroba's strange expression.

She immediately blushed and moved closer.

"Did my brother tell you everything?"

Kuroba nodded blankly.

Seeing Kuroba's expression, Rias was furious and pinched his ear hard.

"What! You're really unwilling! If you're not willing, then forget it!"

"Of course not! But this is too sudden, and it's not just you, Rias-senpai... This is a bit too strange, isn't it?"

"Oh...you mean this? You'll find out soon enough. Although I don't know what that girl was thinking, it's said that she came up with it herself. I don't know what got into her head."

Rias didn't seem to care about this at all; clearly, her upbringing had taught her not to care about such things.

What she cared more about was how Kuroba viewed her.

"However, you don't need to worry too much. Even if this matter is settled, it will be done privately. After all, your status in the Underworld is still too low. Exposing you would not do you any good. This time, it's only because of Gloria. Her change of ruler is quite sensational, after all, she is the strongest queen."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Kuroba breathed a sigh of relief, but the second half almost made him choke on his own saliva.

So in the end it all comes down to me?

Before Kuroba could say anything more, he was dragged away by Sazex, who threw him into a room and then smiled mysteriously.

"Just stay here for a while. There's still some time before it starts, so don't rush."

The door closed, and Kuroba was locked inside before he could say a word. Helpless, Kuroba went to the sofa and sat down, lost in thought.

But not long after, he heard the door open. He thought it was Sazex returning and immediately turned around to speak.

But Kuroba was stunned when he saw it.

It wasn't Sazex who came.

Instead... Rebel?

She wore a gorgeous pale yellow off-the-shoulder gown that perfectly accentuated her slender figure and elegant demeanor. Her radiant blonde hair, clearly meticulously styled, cascaded smoothly over her long shoulders, radiating a captivating shine. Every strand seemed to have been carefully tended, displaying impeccable beauty from root to tip.

Her already near-perfect features were further enhanced by a light layer of foundation. This foundation not only made her skin look even more delicate but also added a touch of mystery. Her eyes were bright and expressive, her eyebrows were neatly trimmed, perfectly complementing her gaze, and her lips, accentuated by lipstick, curved into a charming smile, making her appear even more alluring.

When she met Kuroba's gaze, Kuroba could clearly feel a blush creeping onto her face.

"Rebel...?"

Kuroba never expected that the person who came would be Rebel, the one who was about to get engaged.

To be honest, Kuroba didn't know anything about Rebel. Their only two meetings didn't seem to go well. Kuroba himself couldn't understand what she was thinking. Was she jumping into a fire pit?

Kuroba saw Rebel walk over with an air of nonchalance and enter a very standard noble house.

"Lord Kuroba, please allow me to apologize for my previous ignorance. I was blind and failed to recognize your greatness."

Kuroba waved his hands repeatedly.

"There's no need for that... It's rather awkward to be so formal. A more outspoken style is more like your personality."

After saying that, Kuroba immediately covered his mouth, wanting to slap himself twice.

What the hell is this all about?

But Rebel didn't care at all. She just smiled sweetly and moved closer to Kuroba.

"It's alright, Lord Kuroba. After all, we're getting engaged soon. We can get to know each other better later."

Kuroba retreated repeatedly, stopping Rebel's advance.

"I'm also very curious about this. Why did you want to get engaged to me? What did you see in me? Can I change my mind?"

Instead of retreating, Rebel pressed herself against Kuroba, making Kuroba wonder who was the man and who was the woman.

"Lord Kuroba, you must be joking. Your majestic figure during the ranking game deeply attracted me, and I became infatuated with you from then on. Then, I accidentally learned that the Gremory family and the Phoenix family needed a bridge for cooperation, so I immediately proposed the engagement."

Kuroba observed Rebel's expression for a moment, then sighed.

"Okay, I understand. Speak like a human."

Rebel immediately clenched her fist.

"I'm furious that you treated me like an ant during the ranking game, and you, as a grown man, showed no mercy whatsoever! I want to see if you'll still treat me so rudely after I become your fiancée! Humph!"

Ah...ah...your true nature has been revealed, Miss Rebel...

Kuroba's lips twitched involuntarily.

However, Kuroha found Rebel easy to get along with.

"I'm not saying this to be mean, but you want to get engaged to me just because of this? People always call me an idiot, but I think you're the idiot more!"

Rebel stomped her foot arrogantly.

"I don't care about all that. My resentment is real, and so is my attraction to you. I'm a woman who dares to love and hate, and that's not contradictory. Besides, the power within you is destined to be extraordinary. Consider this my advance bet."

Rebel shrugged and said it with an indifferent expression.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate, Rebel? I've only met you twice, let alone whether I like you or not. And don't forget, our relationship wasn't pleasant at all. The things you said really put me in a very bad position."

Upon hearing this, Rebel blushed. She gritted her teeth and immediately took off her dress, leaving only the pure white two-piece suit underneath.

Upon seeing this, Kuroba quickly turned his head away.

"No, what are you doing?"

No sooner had he asked than Kuroba felt something soft press against him, and judging from the feel of it, she was completely naked.

"Lord Kuroba, it's alright if we don't have feelings~ Compared to a political marriage, it's already good enough that I can pursue happiness like this. I'm very interested in you~ As long as we consummate our relationship, feelings can be cultivated slowly later..."

Kuroba could feel a small hand quietly approaching his front and moving toward that hidden place.

In desperation, Kuroba immediately started making things up.

"Are you sure you really want to do this? Don't forget, I've already died once. The angelic magic and the power of the Crimson Dragon Emperor within me have vanished. I'm just an ordinary familiar demon now, you know?"

Upon hearing this, Rebel froze on the spot.

Chapter 54 Kissing Rebel

But Rebel's daze lasted no more than three seconds. Just as Kuroba was about to pry her hands off, he found that she was holding him tighter and tighter.

"It's alright, Lord Kuroba, I don't care about that. The main thing is that I've found you to be a very interesting person. Unlike those people who only flatter me, I just love the way you keep rejecting me. Ah~ Lord Kuroba~"

Rebel's body pressed closer and closer, and even Kuroba could feel the bright red protrusion on her back slamming against his.

Only then did Kuroba realize what Sazex meant by "take it slow"!
