“That’s right, I will be receiving the [Evil Pieces] soon. That’s why there is a part of me that is thinking of gathering my servants.”
“……So you are asking me to become your servant because I carry the blood of a Fallen Angel?”
“You saved a person that was possessed by an evil spirit in that town right? Why did you do that?”
“……That person was asking for help so I couldn’t resist.”
She makes a big nod with her head and then smiles.
“Yes, that! “A kind Fallen-Angel”! It sure did make me want to turn you into my servant!”
……I’m astonished. The truth is I thought of her as a weird Devil girl.
That’s because she wants a “kind Fallen-Angel”.
“Ufufu.”
When I started laughing with amusement, Rias makes a strange look while tilting her head.
“D-Did I say something weird?”
“Yup, I’m sure you are quite weird.”
“A-Am I……? But I thought you were a kind girl, that’s why I wanted to rescue you back then.”
“—! ……Rias, thank you. I was really happy back then.”
I was so indebted to Rias that I can’t thank her enough—.
After that, I started to gain knowledge about the Underworld, the Devils, and the Fallen-Angels, while living in the Gremory castle.
I usually stayed beside Rias, and had a lifestyle where I go between the human world and the Underworld with her. Rias took me to many places. There were many places in this world I didn’t know about.
“Look, Akeno! That’s the Niagara falls! But the great falls we saw in the Underworld before was even more amazing!”
Rias showed me all sorts of her expressions. Like when she was angry, when she smiled, and when she cried after being lectured by her mother. I always stood by her side and at times I cheered her up, at times I laughed together with her, and at times I argued with her.
Without realising it, she became someone who is irreplaceable.
Sirzechs-sama, Grayfia-sama, and their servants even treated me well. It was around then when I met Sona.
And around the time when Rias entered junior high, she received her evil pieces from her father.
“Akeno, will you become my [Queen]? ……Will you become a Devil and support me by staying next to me?”
I gave my answer, yes, to Rias who asked me with anxiety. There was no reason for me to refuse by this time.
After that, Rias took in Koneko-chan who was moping due to the troubles her actual sister, Kuroka, caused and then made Yuuto-kun into her servant.
Around the time when we moved up to the high school division of Kuou academy, Rias said this to me.
“Akeno. I’m thinking of joining a club when I enter the high school division of this Kuou academy.”
“What will you be joining? Sports club? Cultural club?”
She opens the pamphlet for the entrance to the high school division of Kuou academy happily.
“Now, what should I do? Sports club does sound wonderful and so does the cultural club, so it sure does make it hard for me to choose. Ufufu, I can imagine Sona becoming the student president of the student council.”
It seems like she is really happy that she will be entering the high school division of Kuou academy. She then takes an interest in the book I’m carrying.
“Akeno, what is that book?”
“This is a human’s book written about monsters and mysterious phenomenon. It’s a book with occult taste in it.”
She then says it after hearing my answer while looking through the books.
“Occult…… Then, let’s join the Occult Research Club!”
“Occult Research Club? B-But I’m sure that I saw on the documents that the club got abolished because there weren’t enough members……”
Rias then says it boldly and fearlessly at my words.
“I will revive it! Yup! I’ve decided! I will join the Occult Research Club! Akeno will be the vice-president! The members will be……Yuuto and Koneko, and then I shall form the club with my servants I still haven’t met with yet!”
She then tells me her big aim.
“Ufufu. Sure. Why not. I will be the vice-president. Let’s graduate from high school together.”
“Oh, I’m planning to go to University as well, you know?”
“Then, I will be tagging along with you until then.”
