The training arc was more or less perfectly okay.
No, it could be said that the result of their training was more impressive than Sato had thought it would be.
Was it the result of the Twice Critical?
Or, his new ability that he gained from the devil that he had taken before?
'No, it should be a combination of the two.'
Still, this wasn't the time to expose everything.
Instead, he should expose everything during the moment of the Rating Game to determine Rias's engagement.
"We have done our best, so all that's left is tomorrow." Rias faced everyone, feeling moved by their improvement and hard work for her, yet even so, her power still exuded a tension and solemnity. "We have to win no matter what, since I don't want to marry that prick, so I hope that you can give your all."
"Yes, Buchou!"
'Also...'
Rias didn't say it out loud, but she glanced in Sato's direction, who stayed by her side, which made her show a sweet smile.
"..." Sato.
Even if he felt many gazes on him, he just remained silent.
"...did you sniff Buchou's armpit?"
Only, Koneko, who sat by his side, was as rude as ever.
"How could you do that, Sato-kun?!" Kiba was shocked.
"Geez, if you want to sniff an armpit... You can sniff mine, you know?" Akeno glanced at him with a lewd, seductive gaze.
"...can we be serious for a bit?" Sato felt weak. "Also, how many times do I have to tell you that I don't have an armpit fetish!"
"Yes, yes."
"..." Sato.
Still, while everyone moved on, Koneko kept staring at him before she lightly stretched her hands, letting the short sleeves of her white shirt be pulled, exposing the smooth whiteness with a hint of the scent of sweet cocoa.
Sato decided to ignore Koneko, but Akeno, who sat next to her, came closer and whispered into her ear, "Oh, my, Koneko-chan is such a naughty kitty~!"
"..."
Koneko didn't say anything and just lowered her head with a shy blush, yet Akeno put her finger on her fleshy, soft lips as her tongue lightly licked them, her eyes exuding a lewd, sadistic, seemingly wishing to awaken the masochism in a certain someone.
"..." Sato.
Regardless, Rias wondered why Grayfia also joined somehow, but without a doubt, her attention was on the petite figure that joined this meeting. Even if he was trembling and wore a female uniform, or rather, it was hard to see him as a man with how he was now.
"...are you okay, Gasper?"
"Y-Yes, Rias-buchou!" Gasper, who had talked with Issei for a while, also understood his duty, and even if he dressed like a woman, the man within him couldn't be denied. If he had to fight, then he would, especially when his peace might be on the verge of collapse, considering if Rias really had married that man, but even so—
"I-I know that my task isn't that hard, but... but... do you think I can do it?"
"Yes."
No one doubted Gasper, but without a doubt, even if he didn't fight, his role in the battle that would be held tomorrow was vital.
While they believed they could win against Riser and his group in the Rating Game even without Gasper, if somehow they could make him confident and grow up, then it would be a great bonus for them.
"Th-Then, I will do it!"
As Gasper nodded, Koneko patted his shoulder. "You should be able to do it, Gasper."
"Koneko-chan..."
"Okay, let's rest now. We have been working hard enough, so let's recover our energy as much as possible."
Everyone had been fully focused on the training and did the brainstorming during the night, discussing strategy and various information that Grayfia had given them about Riser and his Peerage members.
Frankly, they felt that it was more fun than they had imagined it to be.
Working together toward a common goal, it felt like every day was filled with something they looked forward to.
Yet, this wasn't surprising since Sato had always made their emotions better in a subtle manner with his Twice Critical. He also asked about Grayfia's many items that could help them relax and feel completely at rest, which gave them the effect of comfortable sleep, making it almost impossible to wake up.
No, during their sleep, he didn't do anything strange, but as he was attacked, what could he do?
Still, inwardly, he became even more confused at the act of a certain woman, who was so chummy and close despite how cold her face was.
Sato had always tried not to think about it, but as they had always been together, even during their sleep, it made him feel quite strange.
What did she do to him?
Did she treat him like a pet, a stuffed doll to hug at night, and also a sex toy, like a dildo?
Sato knew that they hadn't gone all the way, but he was afraid that sooner or later, he couldn't control himself, and by then—
'Soon...'
Rias might only move her lips, but he was clear of the word that she expressed to him.
Sato also nodded, as he was ready for it, thinking that this might be the best course of his life, considering how lazy he was.
With this, he had no need to work and could simply relax.
Yet, while he planned to do so, he knew that he wasn't strong enough as he was now.
At least... he should be able to rest if he had the ability to live in outer space, especially if the Earth were destroyed.
Wouldn't he miss his home?
The fact that he was a reincarnated being and had no family meant that it didn't even matter if he moved to various places; then again, while he was glad that the training had ended, he felt conflicted about the secret he shared with Grayfia.
Even if he was reluctant, he had to say the skill of the married woman was just too much, and while the danger co-existed, it felt so good.
"Grayfia-san..."
Grayfia sat behind him, wrapped her legs around his waist, and clung to him from behind, licking his ear while her naughty hands wrapped and stroked him in a way that he loved the most.
Frankly, he was on the big side, and while she was on the tall side among women, she was still petite in front of him, but he felt that he was weak, like a grizzly bear that became a teddy bear.
"Don't worry. Just let it all out. I will help you again."
Her seductive words were so sweet, yet her acts were so cruel as her hands moved even harder, then grasped him, causing him to violently dirty the room, the hot spring bath in the villa.
Still, as he released everything, the clarity calmed him down, making him helpless, yet Grayfia didn't seem willing to let him go, clinging to him tightly, as if a spider that wrapped its threads tightly around its prey.
