Chapter 58: Black Dragon Part 8
SMALL PROGRESS WITH MAIN CAST Location the Humanworld, Japan-Kuoh: Bael Residence, Krichevskoy Mansion; Backyard
Some time passed after Laharl meet his dragon partner. Then he and the girls enjoyed a pool day, along with having some dates after that with his girls. Not only that but Sona, Rias, Akeno, and Koneko would hang out in his mansion. Speaking about the girls, Rias told him that the reason that Sirzechs called her to the Underworld was for an upcoming big event...that was all she said. Rias, she became more chill and calmer, than her usual behavior, which made conversations better between them. Sona was able to start establishing her future running...assured...as Council President, plus they've been able to have some tea or coffee every now and again, making them grow closer in each interaction. Both she and Rias are excite for their date with him, but their schedules made it difficult, but it hasn't discouraged them, in fact it's the opposite. Making them more excite for the date. Akeno has been calming down, she still became a miko, to honor her dear late mother, and during one these days she'd brought him over and they enjoyed some conversation. Until it got serious and she'd asked, "Laharl-kun...what's your opinion on...fallen angels?" already knowing her trauma, he decided to comfort and help her.
He'd told her honestly that it didn't matter whether it be a devil, human, dragon, or fallen. It was the person itself that makes his judgement, then he said, "Like you. Akeno, I know your part fallen. But soo what? Your a graceful, beautiful, and lovely young woman, that's defines you over your blood...plus your wings look amazing, cause their are yours." when he looked at the miko dressed Akeno. She was blushing in such a intensity, that she'd had to excused herself, as she had things to attend in the shrine. That's how that get together went. Next was Koneko she's become really clingy to either Cerberus or Raven, or himself, playing game with them or just spending time in peace with them. Like he'd mentioned before she's become more comfortable with her nekoshou side, and would have her nekoshou features out around them all. He'd has taken to teach her how to play Smash, and some other classics like Donkey Kong, Pac-man, and more. Kiba and him became closer bros. His dating advice has made him and his girls grow stronger as a group couple...and one day while enjoying some burgers at his backyard, with the girls Kyoko, Ruby, Nero, Daki, Mizore, Cerberus, Raven, Kneesocks, and Albedo were chatting and having fun with Kiba's girls Tsubaki, Tomoe, Reya and Momo, he'd confessed in a quiet manner that he and his girls have...done the deed. Hearing this he went to his private bar, now with alcohol along with juices and soda, and he brought a couple of cold one for them. Kiba was confused until his senpai said, "I know you'd never had a brother or father. So let me celebrate this achievement in their sted, bro...(presenting his beer) cheers." Kiba smiled, and cheers with his...bro. They became brothers from other mothers that day. Laharl, he laughed at that since Kiba was one of the most mid characters he'd knew in DXD, and in this world, he could say he is his closest friend.
Another thing he'd started to spend time with Sona more. During school they eat lunch, and their peerages would hang a lot together...even when Rias joined in things just gotten a bit livier, but it made school less of a drag. And he and Tsubasa had a few opportunities to interact with each other. She was very chill, and honestly she seemed like another bro. If not for her canon relationship with Issei in the future, he'd actually call her a "yuri-dere" but this made their talks involving sports, and he'd introduced her some sport games that he honestly has in his collection, gathering dust. Turns out she was really good in soccer and basketball video games, but when he challenged in some MMA games...she truly shun. When Ruby saw their matches, she'd join in and gain a new gaming buddy with Tsubasa.
SONA'S NEW PIECES Location Kuoh Academy, the Future Council Office
A couple days later. Laharl was called by Tsubaki, as Sona wanted to show him her future base. He teased her by calling it the "Council Office", making Tsubaki laugh and agreed with the description of said room that Sona secured. After a short walk to the upper floors to the academy, the two of them talked as friend, and she was glad that with his help, not only she, her friends, her King, and Kiba have been growing stronger. He waved it off, since she is a friend, and one of his bros. girls so of course he'd help her and the other in Sona's peerage. As they'd reach a luxurious pair of doors...no matter if Rias or Sona, they have to some flamboyant headquarters...Tsubaki, knocked on the door. After a couple of seconds Sona responded, "Please come in." as Tsubaki open the door for Laharl, as he showed gratitude for her action. Walking passed her and entering Sona's new base and the future location of Council Office.
Sona was with Momo and Tsubasa, were discussing things. As only a wooden, ornamental desk was the only thing in the room. Seems that their redecorating...or more like making the office like it will be in DXD. When Sona saw him, she was soo happy and called to him, passing her documents to Tsubasa. As she went over to her...her boyfriend...she get soo happy, whenever she calls him that, she'd hug him and kiss him. As Tsubasa, Tsubaki, Tomoe, Reya, Momo, and three more girls cheer for their king. Sona, she wrapped her arms around his right arm. As she showed him, what will be the new the office, and headquarters of the Academy Council. She'd convinced the headmaster to make her the council president for the second year, and onwards. Since she was only sixteen...that right he, Rias and the other devils are one year older...the headmaster suggested that she focus on her schooling, and preparing for making the Council Group. Also she called him to not only show-off her future headquarters, but introduced him to her new pieces, all pawns. As she introduced, Katase, Nimura Ruruko, and Murayama Kaori. So in the end aside from the late Saji, Sona, she completed and expanded her original peerage. All that were missing are Bennia Orcus the loli reaper, and Loup Garou the werewolf. He greeted the three new pawns, that stood beside Tomoe.
First is Ruruko Nimura the one of the pawns of Sona. Ruruko is a short girl with brown hair in long twin ponytails and green eyes. She wears a pair of green clips in her hair, and she also wears striped green stockings. Originally she and Momo were after Saji, but with him dead, her fate will change. From what he remembers from DXD, Ruruko has a hot-headed personality like the future knight of Rias, Xenovia, wanting to solve problems through violence rather than negotiation. She also has a delinquent side to her, as shown when she calls Xenovia "Boss" in the tone of an underling from a gang. Ruruko, backstory is not that extensive, she by chance, happened to learn about Sona, probably from her trying to recruit the secret delinquent. So Ruruko, she must have discovered that Sona and her peerage are devils and willingly asked to be reincarnated into her peerage. Sona welcome her and she's shown a great talent in martial arts, specifically those that specialize in kicking.
Next is Kaori Murayama is a member of the Kendo Club, but she hasn't become the captain yet. She is a light brown hair girl, that she styles in a pair of long, thin pigtails tie with red ribbons, she has a impressive bust. She like most of the girls in the school, she admires both Rias, Akeno and some his girls as well. Knowing her background, she'll probably become Kiba's fifth girlfriend. She and Katase were talking with Tomoe the other sword user of their group. Speaking of the pink head, she is Katase the last new pawn of Sona, she is best friend and fellow kendo club member of Murayama. She has short pink hair, exposing her lovely forehead, and wears a white headband. Both are pawns of Sona now. And quite charming and polite, as they greeted him once they saw him in the room.
Honestly what is Murayama, Katase, and Aika are background characters, that Ichiei Ishibumi the mangaka of DXD. He missed a good opportunity of making those three girls better. Why introduced them, if he'd basically kill them off as the series progressed. But with Saji no longer here, they have time to shine and have larger roles in their lives. He spent his time with Sona's peerage, getting to know Ruruko, Murayama, and Katase, as he help them in redecorating the room.
MEETING THE WHITE DRAGON EMPEROR Location the Humanworld, Japan-Kuoh: Kuoh Academy, Front Courtyard
Another boring day going to school. Laharl, he was being accompanied by his girls, Sona and her peerage, including her new pawns, were making their way to the academy. When he felt Vritra and Orochi speak to him, "Master... Partner...a strong dragon is close by, be warry." Believing that he knows who was there...but it shouldn't be possibly. Since the battle maniac that he thinking of, shouldn't be there that early. But his doubts were erased, as he saw a young light silver, spiky haired punk, resting on the wall besise the main entrance of the academy, with his arms crossed, and a leg bend and resting on the wall as well. He was wearing a dark green V-neck shirt with a high-collared black leather jacket over it. He also wears burgundy jeans with a silver chain drooping down over them and black leather chaps with three bands encircling his right calf, and black shoes with black buckles. This is Vali Lucifer the White Dragon Emperor or Butt Emperor of DXD, Issei's main rival...but all he could think is what was that battle maniac there? He called to Sona and Albedo over to him.
Hearing his serious tone, both Albedo and Sona were worried but paid attention to him. He said, "Sona. Albedo. Get the girls inside. Use magic to keep all students away from me and that guy. (they turn to the silver haired punk, that was smirking predatory like at Laharl-kun) Tell Rias, and whatever happens don't let them get involved." this made them more worried. But if Laharl, was being this tense and serious meant that whoever this guy is he is strong enough for Laharl to perceive as a threat. They kissed him, and wished him luck, as Sona got her peerage together and use their magic to mentally command the human students to go inside the academy, and ignore what might happen. Albedo went over to his girls to get them to follow her, they looked reluctant, but after he smile at them to reassure them. So Kyoko, Raven, Daki, Cerberus, Kneesocks, Ruby, Nero, and Mizore, smiled sadly and followed Albedo into the academy. He sighed, closed his eyes and started to walk over to were Vali is. Stretching out his right arm, with a open gloved hand, as he said, "Vritra Zanbato." as his sword and sacred gear, burst in a purple colored, cursed flames. Forming into his massive sword, that he grip the handle, and with a flick of his wrist, his sword was now resting on his shoulders.
Vali looking at the new dragon in the making, not only showing great strength and bravery. As he approaching him with his sacred gear at the ready. Now they were face to face, as he was tempted to unveil his Divine Dividing. But he wanted to see the grit of this young dragon, Laharl, looked straight in his eyes and he lowered his leg. And said, "You have a good look in your eyes." but his potential rival said something that shocked him, "Can you tell me, why your here? White Emperor." this was a surprise, since Azazel has done everything in his power to keep his identity secret. But his smirk didn't leave and only grow, along with his interest on this devil, that's when Albion told him, "A strong and ravenous dragon is in that sword...be careful Vali." Vali had to ask, "Since you know who I am...do you know of the Red One? Or are you the Red One, with something extra?" Laharl not being intimidated or backing down answered, "Yes I know of the Red Emperor. Where said Emperor is I don't know. And I'm the Black One, not red." this made Vali laugh, as he was right this kid, he was capable of being a worthy challenge and maybe a good addition to the eternal rivalry of Heavenly Dragons, lowering his arms, he started to leave, feeling his...rival...gaze focused on him, he wasn't ready to fight yet but later, as he cracked his knuckles in anticipation...
