"Is your palm okay? Are you hurt? What are you doing?! I know that you are such a curious guy, but there are some things that you should do and shouldn't do!"
As someone who wielded the power of destruction, Rias knew how dangerous it was, for if she wasn't careful, she knew she could be hurt and even die from it.
Even the user of this power wasn't immune to this power, so how could Sato dare to grasp the power of destruction?
"Don't worry. The power had already dissipated when I touched it earlier. Look, my palm is okay."
"....."
Rias wanted to get angry, but she just plopped on the ground weakly as she held his palm tightly, staring at it, hoping that he was really unscathed as he had told her.
While Sato could see her plump, soft thighs, which were displayed fully as the hem of her skirt was pulled up by her sitting position, he didn't look at them. Instead, he looked into her eyes, which kept staring at his palm, showing how worried she was about him until she looked up to meet his gaze.
Yet, he didn't turn his gaze, while inwardly, he had to say the main heroine was as beautiful as ever.
"See?"
"...even so, don't do this again, okay?"
Her voice was slightly choked, and her eyes were even wet from her tears, thinking of his dangerous act.
"I might be, though."
"..." Rias.
Still, before Rias got angry, Sato said, "I just want to test myself."
"Why?!"
As he faced her agitation, he said, "Because I want to become the man I want to be."
"...."
While she was in a daze, Sato had been thinking about why he wanted to grow stronger.
Did he just want to save his life?
Then again, in this world, where he had nothing that he loved or someone who could give their everything to him, loving him, what was the point of living?
Wasn't it just better to die, and end this torment, being aimed at by all others, and even on the threat of death so many times?
What was the point of living such a life?
Sato had been thinking, and the answer to that was because he wanted to become someone that he had aimed for, his dream self, or simply become a superman, yet he was also realistic, which was why he had never aimed to become the strongest, and he was fine to become just the second strongest.
Or rather, he just wanted to leave a certain mark that told everyone that, here, he had lived as well as he could, so while it was still within a reasonable limit, he would try to work hard, so that way, when he died, he could proudly die without any regrets.
Still, for Rias, it made her keep staring at him for a while before she stepped forward and kissed his lips.
"....." Sato.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
Sato quickly pulled away as he looked at this crazy woman who would jump all of a sudden, kissing him, yet, watching his reaction, Rias licked her lips with her long, snake-like tongue.
"Sweet~!"
"...." Sato.
"That's not good, Sato-kun."
"...after you took my first kiss, you just said that?"
Yup, that was his first kiss, and while Miki Hyoudou had given him a handjob and also a blowjob, his first kiss was still preserved, since, like a good man be, he thought to keep his first kiss to the one that he loved, yet unexpectedly, this bitch would take it away!
"It's fine."
"...what do you mean by it's fine?!"
"It was also my first kiss."
Sato rubbed his head helplessly and asked, "What do you want to do, Rias? You know who I am? I am just a normal human, and you are a noble woman who stands above millions or even hundreds of millions of people and devils. There are many whom you can choose and give your everything to instead of me, who just thinks about himself."
He looked down, as if showing that he was at the bottom, and she was at the top, but his head was lifted, being grasped tightly by her palms, as she said calmly, "I don't care if it's not you, and don't look down on yourselves. You are the man that I have chosen, and I have always believed in my choice."
"...."
Where did this confidence come from?
"Also, if you have a harem, I don't mind, either."
"...." Sato.
"Also, even if you don't work, I will support you!"
"....." Sato.
"You can play with my armpits too! Mine are yours!"
"....." Sato.
"So, what do you think? Is there anyone who is better than me?"
Was there anyone better than her?
Rias accepted him even if he had a harem, and would even let him be lazy even if he didn't work.
Was this woman crazy?
He felt helpless, yet he would be lying if he wasn't tempted.
No, he wasn't tempted due to her armpits, okay?
"...what do you want me to do?"
"Just support me."
Her voice was firm as she said those words. "Stay by my side, and when I go to hell, hold my hand tightly, accompany me, that's all I want you to do."
"...a hell is a bit too much, though."
"..." Rias.
"But..." Sato held her hands tightly in his. "I won't let your hands go, and I won't let you go to hell."
"...."
Rias stared at him in a daze, feeling an intense emotion that made her dizzy, yet her heartbeat was moving so fast that it couldn't be controlled as her tears came out of her eyes.
"....why did you cry?"
"Because... because... anyway, you accept me, right?!"
"That's how it is, or are you rejecting me?"
Sato thought that he might as well try it since, instead of having an improper relationship with Rias, he might as well make it correct, as it felt strange if she somehow slipped into his bed.
At the same time, he also thought about Grayfia and felt that if he were with Rias, then nothing would happen.
"No! No! I accept! I want to be your woman! Let me be one!"
"Then, let me be your man."
"Um...."
Rias looked at him shyly with a cute blush as she met his gaze, seemingly trying to imply something to him.
Sato took a deep breath, then moved closer, which made her heartbeat move so fast as she closed her eyes, as their lips met, but when she thought to open her tongue, ready to ravage his tongue, he slipped away and said, "Wait for a week. Let me make it proper."
"Um."
Rias nodded bashfully as she held his hands tightly before hugging him tightly as if she just couldn't control herself.
Naturally, as he felt her soft body wrapped gently around his, it reacted strongly.
"...are you sure you want to wait for a week?"
"Grayfia-sama will kill me."
"...let's wait, then."
Yup, let's wait for a week, but before that, let's meet the three fallen angels that he hadn't met for a while.
