A vein popped out on my forehead after I finished reading the note, and I crumpled it up.
'Couldn't she have just approached me during break and taken me with her? It would have been much simpler than leaving a note like this! Is she ashamed of me, or does she have an issue with me?!'
Despite my irritation, I followed exactly what Akeno Himejima asked me to do in that note, and somehow I ended up in this situation — with my head resting on Rias Gremory's large white thighs and only a few inches away from paradise, both vertically and horizontally.
"Are you ready?" Rias Gremory asked, smiling gently.
Looking up, I could barely see her blue eyes because there were huge things in the way. Even so, I kept my composure and nodded.
Then she looked forward, and Akeno Himejima approached with a tray. On that tray was a chess piece, but it wasn't an ordinary piece. With a cross on a crown and a hue even redder than the Gremory's hair, I knew that this piece was a Mutant King Piece.
Rias picked it up carefully with her fingertips and brought it close to my chest.
The piece slowly sank into my chest, but not like a knife would. It was painless, like a hand entering the clearest lake.
Suddenly, I felt very sleepy. My eyes became so, so heavy that after a few moments I could no longer resist.
Somehow, I woke up in the darkness. My face was illuminated by the artificial light of a system notification.
[YOU DIED!]
"I'm dead, but I'm still conscious..." My voice echoed in the darkness, but it seemed like no one was there to hear it.
I used to think that systems were super-advanced technology, but at that moment, it became clearer than ever that systems were beyond anything I could comprehend.
As I floated in this darkness, bodiless and formless, I convinced myself that it was a temporary state. A valley between life and death. The silence of the darkness was unbearable and made me want to go back to that classroom, with the girls arguing about me.
'Is it egocentric to think that way? Well... Maybe it really is,' I thought aloud, relaxing with my feet up in the middle of that immeasurable void.
My relaxation was interrupted by a new message that appeared in the darkness of that supernatural void.
[You have been resurrected.]
"Ah! Finally! I was starting to think I'd be stuck here with myself for eternity!"
Soon, an intense wave of light enveloped me, pulling me back into the consciousness of my body.
When my eyes opened, I saw the ceiling above me. It was a simple sight, but it seemed almost surreal after the out-of-body experience I had just had.
I blinked a few times, trying to adjust my vision. I was no longer in the Occult Research Club room?
System windows began to appear, filling my field of vision with information.
[You have been revived as a Noble Devil.]
[Your attributes were at the Human standard, so they will be leveled to the Noble Devil standard.]
[All your physical attributes have increased by 50.]
[The standard for Devils in this universe is 30.]
I stretched my right arm toward the system notifications and dragged them to one side, closing them. Every muscle in my arm felt like it had been renewed.
"I'm alive..." I muttered to myself to reassure myself that my crazy plan had worked.
I was lying on a bed, surrounded by a modestly decorated room. The softness of the sheets and the scent of flowers in the air were unfamiliar to me.
I slowly got up and looked around. The room I was in was mine and... Wait, aren't the covers a little too warm?
I looked down and saw an elephant's trunk staring at me — figuratively speaking.
"Huh? I'm naked..." Still a little sleepy, I said.
That's when I heard the subtle sound of the bed covers moving, and what I saw left me speechless.
Rias Gremory was getting up from the bed where I had been lying just a moment ago. Her fiery red hair fell messily over her shoulders, and she was as naked as I was, but her pale skin was almost camouflaged by the light-colored sheets.
"Wait, wait, wait! Is this a couch test or something?!"
My words stuck in my throat as my eyes fixed on Rias and then on her breasts. They were big... No, actually, they were huge! Her nipples were pink and pointed forward, perhaps because of the cold.
I knew Rias Gremory was beautiful, of course, and that she had very nice breasts, because I had seen them in the anime, but seeing her in real life with my own eyes was something completely different.
"Good morning, Leonard," Rias said as she stretched, raising her arms above her head.
I didn't even blink when her breasts followed that movement.
"Khum!" I cleared my throat and got out of bed. "Good morning."
Rias smiled, an almost playful smile. "By the way, we haven't properly introduced ourselves yet, have we?" she asked and started to get up.
When her legs left the bed and she stood before me, I thought I could finally see what the anime didn't show, but unfortunately, I was wrong. She wasn't as naked as I was. She was wearing black panties.
"Introductions? You're kidding me," I said, scratching the back of my neck. "I know who you are, and you know who I am... Now, why don't you explain to me why you and I are in this situation?"
"I had to bathe you in mana all night to speed up the reincarnation process. Who knew that reincarnation as a king could be so laborious? Anyway, the best way to transfer mana between two devils is with two naked bodies, which is why we were naked. But don't worry, I'm still a virgin."
At that moment, as Rias put on her bra that was lying next to the bed, a system notification appeared on my screen.
