"Ugh… if that's necessary. A flat field. Nothing but trees as cover." Rias sighed annoyed once more. Ritsuka frowned and was about to say something when Rias shook her head seemingly admonishing him.
"Agreed. Shake on it?" Ruval held his hand out which Rias took shaking it. "Good… glad we could get that settled. We'll be seeing you tomorrow. I'll be sure to explain this to Ajuka to get things ready."
Ruval led the two out of the room. Ravel seemed solemn in her steps while Riser was agitated beyond all belief. Rias took a deep breath and laid her head on the table. It had been an exhausting turn of events.
"I'm glad they bought that… I'm worried now though. These stakes are much higher than they should have been." Rias sulked as she turned to stare at Ritsuka.
"I did say you should have made the deal over me. At the very least it would get you out of that arrangement." Ritsuka patted her back. "I will win for you so that won't happen but this was a drastic step."
"I know it was… I thought he would back out immediately when I mentioned it. I didn't think he would agree. Though that was only taking account into Riser… not Ruval. Ruval is the head of his family now and his shrewdness is well known throughout the entirety of the underworld." Rias explained before sitting back up. "I hope you know I'm doing this to keep you on my side."
"I know… I'll pay you back anyway you want." Ritsuka mentioned just as quickly… not really paying attention to his words because the glare of a pretty girl had always made him nervous… once again conditioning from Kiyohime in the early years.
"You promise…?" Rias questioned looking deep into Ritsuka's eyes. Even with how intimidating his gaze was she was determined to keep their gaze locked.
"Yes. I always keep my promise as best I can." Ritsuka answered… not realizing that he fell into the same trap Akeno had put him into. The smile that lit up on Rias' face told him as much. Ritsuka placed his head into his hands when that realization hit him.
Rias giggled and kissed him on the cheek. She was glad her mage was aware of his fate already. Said mage was also annoyed that he wasted one of those fire resistance potions.
It was quiet. Ruval dismissed his siblings as he traveled elsewhere. He didn't want them to be anywhere near him when he had to go meet with his contact. Traveling off towards a quiet area within the Shinjuku area of the human world he found the club he needed to be at.
Walking in the bouncers avoided meeting with Ruval merely pointing towards a room off to the side. The blaring music became muddled as he entered the room. It was sickening.
"So how'd it go?" A kind… yet sniveling voice came from the desk.
"I disliked every moment of that." Ruval answered with a growl. "I'm beginning to doubt your information if that's what it cost me."
"Oh don't be like that. I've got my sources and they assured me that this particular human is a danger to all of the devil kind." The voice smiled his fake smile as he always did. "After all, if you think about it clearly, how did a human get Azazel on their side so easily? How did they get devils to enjoy their company? It's all a sick plot to destroy our way of life after all."
"So why didn't you act on it then!" Ruval snapped heating the room up. "I shouldn't be the one dealing with this bullshit Diodora!"
"Easy. Easy!" Diodora placated the angry Phenex. "It's a necessary step and I have every confidence in your family to handle this problem and deal with it easily."
"Easy for you to say. I'm taking a gamble on this because you managed to catch some exorcist fop who managed to fight this human and the whispers you managed to get out of Grigori members. If this goes pear shaped-" Ruval started.
"If this goes pear shaped it will have been your fault for acting on it. Not mine. I merely told you the information and gave you the idea on how to act on it. I never forced your forsaken hands from grasping at the fruit before you." Diodora sneered glaring down the Phenex leader with a baleful gaze. The two glared daggers at each other.
"I will burn you to cinders if this goes wrong, damn the consequences." Ruval promised. "Or maybe I'll hire that human you hate so much to kill you. It's obvious that he's more a merc than a mage after all."
"Indeed, I'm certain he'll agree to that." Diodora sneered. "Just remember my payment for the information. You may not like it but you are the one who agreed to the deal in the first place."
"Yeah yeah… the bishop that joined the Gremory Peerage." Ruval growled as he turned and left the room.
"Oh scary, scary! So scary indeed!" A cruel laughter escaped as Diodora's guest came out of the adjacent room.
"Quite. I mean it's not my fault that they're gullible as can be, isn't that so Freed?" Diodora chuckled as he turned to the new person in the room.
"Please. You were masterful in your play, even if I want to cut you to ribbons." Freed smirked though the empty threat still hung in the air.
"Don't do anything stupid." Another voice called out. "We're trying to restart a war and having you two think with their literal dick and metaphorical dick is taxing on the mind."
"Come now Kokabiel. Live a little. After all, we're planning a grand welcome for the death of everyone around us." Diodora gave off a kind smile as he said those words.
"Be that as it may, your idea of instigating bigger problems in your society is flawed. Even if you two see that human as prey for whatever sick games you have in mind he has nothing to do with anything supernatural as far as I've seen." Kokabiel scoffed at the two who looked insulted.
