It didn't take long for Rias to learn that Sona and her peerage received gifts from Marcus Goldman.
The most obvious sign was that they now have extremely advanced phones.
And as one could expect, her curiosity peaked, so she asked.
The problem was… she almost immediately got washed over by jealousy.
Only that, it exploded to the next level when she learned that they also got Sacred Gears! All of them! Sona included! This was the breaking point for Rias who rushed back to Underworld herself to talk to her mother.
"This is not fair! I have been training several times per week! With my peerage! I know my power has increased several times!" Rias said with crossed arms as she huffed and puffed at the injustice.
"You mean your 15% increase in demonic power? Dear, I have a full report on your progress." Venelana said with a sigh. She was starting to feel just as jealous as her daughter. Serafall got a Longinus Class Sacred Gear in the form of a Sailor Moon uniform. If not for Ars Goetia holding the Satan together, Serafall would already be flaunting it to the whole wide world and the Underworld. The most amazing perk was that it's not just a cosplay. It's the real deal with power-ups.
Marcus even showed them the resistance to holy energy which immediately interested Grayfia and Venelana.
"Umm… What about Sona? What did she do?" Rias immediately realised that talking about her 'achievements' is pointless since her mother most likely already knows.
"Her overall demonic energy increased by 40%; she reincarnated four people in that period. Giving more data to Marcus Goldman. He is more than pleased in learning how energy changes from human to devil kind.
While your readings were neither bad nor too good. Simply okay enough for him to keep you in the project since it doesn't cost him." Venelana said to her daughter while sipping tea in between.
The brown-haired devil lady realised that the contract did not really help. Her daughter wasn't actually trying hard to train. But maybe this will finally make her move her ass.
"I see… so Sona went whole military-style on her peerage," Rias said with a realised look.
"No. She will now, however. As Marcus has decided to move Sona's peerage to a field agent position. He gave them the means to collect sacred gear from Stray Devils and keep them if they want."
The red-haired devil girl's eyes widened. This is far too good!
"I see… this is… so those phones?"
"Exactly. According to Satan Leviathan who bragged to me. Those phones have a points exchange system. They can reclaim items retrofitted by Marcus himself, from gaming consoles to cars, and because it is Marcus, they are a cut above any regular things humans or devils could get. And all they have to do is beat some stray devils and collect samples from them."
Rias's eyes widened again. Incredible futuristic consoles? She wants one too!
"You know I learned something which would interest you."
"Umm? What?"
"Serafall herself got a Sailor Moon uniform as a Sacred Gear. It also works as a power-up and if my guess is right she got quite a big power-up."
"No way… Sailor Moon uniform? With the transformation and everything?"
Venelana nodded at her, before continuing to talk.
"Indeed she got a boost to her family magic with that uniform which also has a Balance Breaker."
"That's...so cool… mother! Tell me what should I do!?" Rias couldn't control herself and asked with a panicked look. This is so cool and otaku-ish sounding! She wants to be part of this!
Sigh
"Rias, you need to be a proper Devil Heiress with a goal in life! How hard is it for you to understand that!? Sona has her dream and she is chasing it as hard as she could. Marcus Goldman being there only made her try to work harder! And she is getting rewarded for it." Venelana said with an eye roll.
Rias bit her lower lip before getting up from her seat.
"You are right! I have to go…" The redhead said in a serious tone before walking towards the doors.
"Good. I hope you start taking this seriously. You don't have much time left." The brown-haired woman said with a knowing look.
For a moment Rias stopped walking. She didn't say anything before continuing to walk out of the living room.
The moment her daughter was gone Venelana started frowning. Not much time was left. In both senses of the word. For Rias's marriage and before the storm, which is her Master, hits the three worlds. Neither Heaven, Earth or Underworld are going to be spared.
'Let's see how you do, Rias. It all depends on you. Even without talking or interacting with you, Marcus has made you work more seriously.' Venelana thought with narrowed eyes.
~~~~~~Kuoh~~~~~~
Sona sighed to herself. Checking her phone out for a moment.
This thing is so amazing. Not only that but it has Aurora built into it!
The very same A.I that beat her as The Predator and the Red Dragon Emperor. So she was quite bitter about using it. But, she won't be lying to herself. The A.I is super smart and her assistance is already invaluable.
Anyways, she got quite hooked into checking out the list of inventions she could buy from her points…
Points…
[Name: Sona Sitri]
[Occupation: Field Agent]
[Loyalty Points: 23]
Her points were only a few bits though she could buy some clothes from these. Regular clothes, not enchanted ones.
The enchanted ones are, in her eyes, quite powerful. Self-repairing, self-adjusting, damage mitigation, and resistance to specific elements like Holy energy. Which is simply and utterly amazing to her.
Not to mention the paperwork machine! The Signer! It's simply a marvellous piece of work that she will be sure to use once she opens her school!
Speaking of her dream to open the ranking games school… if only she could get Marcus help in designing it and pumping it with his inventions it would be her wet dream coming to reality!
"So-tan~~~ you are dreaming of something naughty! I could even sense it~~~"
Hearing her older sister's voice, she snapped out of her trance and saw Serafall sitting on a couch not far from her.
"Nonsense! I don't do that!" Sona with an embarrassed look snapped at her sister who was in a very good mood.
"Heee~~~ okay~~~ if you say so!" The older Sitri just shook her head in an amused fashion.
"...Is there a reason why you are here sister?" Sona asked, slightly curious and with a bit of anticipation.
After all, the last time her sister was here in the Sitri Estate, she took her and her peerage to Europe where she got her Sacred Gear!
"But, of course!" Serafall jumped out of her seat and pulled out a unique looking pen. Without wasting any time she pressed on it and with a burst of light she transformed…
"..."
"Your big sis is Sailor Winter! A real magic girl!" Serafall did several poses from Sailor Moon and behind her back a pair of wings appeared from pure crystalized ice!
Not only that but Sona could feel a limitless amount of magic rolling from Serafall. She has sensed her sister's power before, and it had never been this high!
"This… what is this!?"
Sona didn't know what to think! It should be an embarrassing cosplay as a magic girl… but-but! This was not a cosplay! This was the real deal!
"This is my Sacred Gear. I got it the next day after you left! Beautiful isn't it!?" Serafall said while spinning and taking some more of the stances from Sailor Moon…
"T-This is… I don't even know what to say…" Sona was out of words, literally…. This was no longer cosplaying… It's not even embarrassing because the uniform looks too good. The material even looks magical!
"When I am wearing this, I am semi-immune to holy energy. Only direct contact on my skin works! I can even say his name without getting hurt!" Serafall said amused as she was clearly enjoying the shocked look on Sona's face.
"I see… this is incredible… still, I am assuming that you didn't come here just to show me that?" Sona said while fixing her glasses, she was trying to hide her jealous look. Yes, she is jealous. The uniform honestly looks amazing. And the power-ups… they make it even better. She can tell that the uniform does more than just protection because she can sense her sister's power going up significantly after the transformation.
'It seems she can't tell me everything about her over the top Sacred Gear.'
"Yes. There is more. I came here to ask you something." Serafall instantly got serious. She dissolved her sailor moon uniform and pulled out the pen which appeared in her hand. She started spinning it in between her fingers.
"And that is?"
"You know that I want you to be successful. But, the problem with your dream is that it is going to be an uphill fight, a very hard one in fact.
So, you will need a good support to start your school. Someone who could guarantee its success. Either technologically or magically."
As Serafall continued her speech Sona instantly knew where it was going.
"You want it to be supported by your boyfriend? Honestly, I will take his help any time of the day. The problem is not me not wanting it, but him wanting to support me." The younger Sitri said while shrugging her shoulders.
"I doubt he will even listen to me and my dream. He doesn't look like someone who would want to listen to a girl's dreams. I could imagine him just saying something like: 'just go and build it yourself, it's not that hard'." Sona said what she imagined him saying to her.
"You are right. He would say that. But, that's where my scheme comes to play." Serafall said that with a smirk. A smirk which sends chills through Sona's spine.
"I am going to pull you into our bed activities. Devil sisters play~~~ how many humans could brag that they have fucked two devil sisters from the same pillars?"
Sona's mouth opened as wide as possible. This was the first time hearing her sister use that word like this!
"SISTER! What are you thinking!? Are you nuts!?" The younger Sitri said with a red face. This was embarrassing to a whole nother level!
Snort
"We are devils, Sona. How hard is it to accept that? While we are nowhere near as bad as we were before, there are still many devils who do questionable things. And what I am offering to you is one of the best solutions you could get.
Marcus' inventions are revolutionary. And once he reveals himself to the world, there will be Goddesses from all sort of pantheons lining up to get fucked by him. That is not a joke. When I said that he humiliated Artemis, I mean it in a literal sense. He was thinking of just bringing her home to keep as a pet.
Thankfully he did not." Serafall said all of that quite seriously, which made Sona speechless.
