"Choose what you think would be best for you. I'm not going to hate you for a choice you make. You are your own person and capable of making your own choices.
Sometimes the hard choices seem more daunting than they should be." Ritsuka explained as Asia stared at her hands breaking the surface of the water.
"And if I don't like what I decided?" Asia sighed as she covered her face with her hands.
"Then don't make a decision until you've figured out whether you would regret it or not. We all have them… some bigger than others but they all feel like a weight on your back."
Ritsuka answered though she could tell he was remembering something personal as he spoke.
They remained quiet a few short moments before realizing they had to get out of the bathroom… together… naked. It was an awkward but not unpleasant time.
There weren't very many secrets physically between Ritsuka and Asia now… some slip ups and her naivety made that apparent since neither could look the other in the eye now.
"So…" Ritsuka drawled our clearly trying to figure out what to say.
"Um… please keep it to yourself." Asia muttered out completely red in the face.
"Wasn't going to say anything at all." Ritsuka responded immediately. He wasn't uncomfortable by what happened but he did seem worried about how this would get explained.
"I only let it happen… because it was you." Asia trailed off looking even more red. Before he could say anything she tried to rush back to her room. She tripped again and he caught her again.
It wasn't the best for her burgeoning feelings that started growing since last night and she wasn't sure how to deal with them. So she passed out in his arms.
"Great…" Ritsuka sighed as he picked up Asia like a princess and put her in her room. Luckily, everyone else seemed busy this Sunday morning.
Rias was livid. Grayfia stood back a little as she destroyed another table. Thankfully, it was a cheap replaceable one and she had brought spares for whenever they were broken.
"That smug insufferable asshole! What do you mean he wants to collect me in two days! What the fuck is this!?" Rias had been quite pissed.
Akeno did her best to try and calm her but she was of the same mind set. Koneko didn't do anything because she secretly was willing to punch him hard enough to make his balls explode. She didn't tell them that though because it would have been improper as a lady.
"Rias we need to keep calm and come up with a plan if he is thinking of doing this." Kiba stated. While he was willing to defend his King's honor, Kiba knew it was better to think up a defense at this point rather than scream and rage at furniture.
"I'm sorry Rias-sama, but Riser was insistent. He used the Governor's council to push this meeting forward. Sirzechs-sama attempted to stall it but since there was a mass exodus of exorcists last week the council forced the issue through due to security reasons."
Grayfia stated primly and properly through closed eyes. Her hands were tense and gripped tightly together though showing how much she wanted to break this farce as well.
"It's not your fault Grayfia… or Nii-san's either. I thought I would have more time but this is ridiculous. Even if I have a mage I can't bring him into a Ratings Game unless he becomes a devil… unless…" Rias looked hopefully to Grayfia.
"We did manage to get that point across, so long as your mage agrees he may enter but it will come at the expense of his own life should he lose it." Grayfia nodded slightly making Rias cringe. Akeno and Koneko kept quiet but they both showed discomfort at that idea.
"That's the best that could be done?" Rias questioned looking, hoping at her sister in law.
"Yes… that was what we could do." Grayfia confirmed though her shoulders slightly slumped.
'What they could do…' Rias contemplated those words. She could tell that someone most likely wanted Ritsuka to die during the game just to give her an excuse to revive him as a devil. It wasn't from her brother though…
The only other devil who knew Ritsuka was working with her Peerage was… Sona. That meant that Serafall probably found out that he won against her sister beating her in a game she had never lost since.
The reasoning behind it was flimsy unfortunately. Sona wouldn't want him dead… but in her Peerage as her betrothed… perhaps. Though knowing Sona as she did, she knew that Sona would hate that she had to rely on her sister to get something she wanted.
The easiest choice was to convince Ritsuka to not participate in the games.
She immediately dismissed that idea as stupid since she was already at a high disadvantage against Riser's numbers. Without him as well all of them would have to take out four members each.
That took into account that their Queen would be chucking explosions all around not caring of collateral.
"I'm sorry Rias." Grayfia stated in hushed tones. "If necessary we are prepared to do the unthinkable if necessary."
"Please don't. I can still turn this around when he tries to meet with me." Rias pleaded just as softly.
As strong willed as the two were they understood each other. They both knew what Riser wanted and he didn't care at all for her feelings. There was a quiet nod and her three members all shared a look. They were prepared for the worst to pass.
"I must take my leave. I would suggest you figure out a strategy before anything concrete happens." Grayfia warned before she teleported away, most likely back to Sirzechs side.
Rias wondered what she should do. Due to Ritsuka's presence and the gaze he unknowingly shared with him had made Sirzechs hesitant to actually meet with him. She could understand how heavy his gaze was since she still couldn't look Ritsuka in the eye for long periods of time.
She couldn't understand why her brother was so hesitant to meet with him.
