Bzzt!
As the Rating Game started, all of them were moved, teleported, but Sato saw that they were teleported to Rias' base in the school, the Occult Research Club.
"...is this the game field?"
Yes, despite the similarity, he knew well that it was a virtual space that was created by the creator of the Rating Game, Ajuka Beelzebub.
'Isn't this guy more suitable to become the leader of Satan?'
If Sato considered the achievements of Ajuka and Rias' older brother, Sirzech Lucifer, he felt that Ajuka was more suitable for the role of the leader.
Still, another man's trash is another's treasure. With the story he had heard from others, he knew that Ajuka was a researcher type, someone who just wanted to spend his time in his own world, but the others had forced him to enter politics, despite his reluctance.
While they hadn't met, Sato felt a certain familiarity between them.
"Yes." Rias looked at Sato as she nodded. "He is an amazing devil, and the only devil that can match my older brother."
"I see..."
What could he say?
Rias was his girlfriend, so Sato knew he should make her older brother happy instead of Ajuka.
Also, while Sirzech Lucifer's achievements weren't that impressive, he was still the strongest devil, and to become what he was, it would have been impossible if he hadn't worked hard.
Still, as everyone sat together, they were all prepared to face Riser and his Peerage members.
"Now, let's show them and defeat that bastard as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Buchou!"
"Koneko! Gasper!"
"Yes."
"Y-Yes!"
As Rias began her order, Koneko and Gasper also started to move.
Gasper was quite simple as he released many bats from the room and let them hover, scouting for enemies.
Meanwhile, Koneko transformed into a cat, enveloped in a hazy, white, flame-like aura that gave her a sacred and pure appearance, reminiscent of the shrine maiden about to perform an exorcism.
"Come forth."
As her voice fell, several cute white flaming cats emerged.
"Nyaa~!"
"....cute."
Yup, all of those cats that were released by Koneko were all so cute!
"Go!"
"Nyaa!"
However, even if they were all cute, they possessed an incredible functionality since from those cats, Koneko could observe whatever they saw from their eyes, or even help her to remind her if they saw the opponents.
Naturally, Gasper's bats also worked the same.
"A-Amazing..."
Yet, the actions of the two surprised everyone who watched the Rating Game, as Rias' first move was unlike that of someone who was a newbie.
"It's impossible for Rias to think of such a plan." Sona let out a helpless sigh, but a sweet smile also formed on her beautiful face. "It must be him."
Yes, if it were the original Rias, they would just charge forward without thinking of anything, fighting with their brute forces instead of thinking by using strategy, and it was even worse with Issei, as he wasn't good with his brain.
So, if there was a reason why Rias could make such a move, it was definitely due to Sato.
"So, that's him."
"Yes."
"He is so handsome."
"...I won't give him to you."
"Ow, that's a shame."
"—?!"
Sato felt a strange shiver on his body as if Kiba had stared at him.
"What's wrong, Sato-kun?" Kiba asked worriedly.
"...no, it's fine."
While Sato felt sorry, he felt like a similar existence to Kiba had aimed for him, but let's forget about that. "Who is going to move first?"
"Me." 2x
Koneko and Akeno raised their heads as if eager to show their efforts to someone who had trained them, causing the two to stare at each other.
"Oh, my, Koneko-chan, you want to show off?"
"Your magic is too brutal to be used, Akeno."
"Why not? I want to punish them, so isn't it better to go with a bang~?"
"It's just too much. What if you hit us, too?"
"It's fine~!" Akeno licked her lips as she glanced in a certain direction. "It will feel good~!"
"....." Sato.
That's what they were worried about the most!
Rias rubbed her temple, feeling complicated. Yes, she might say that she was okay for him to have another lover, but even so, she felt that with his personality, he wouldn't even think to find one, and just settled with her, as having more lovers was troublesome and took a lot of energy.
She knew that he had a goal he wanted to achieve, and working hard for it was what he did. Yet, what she loved the most was that, despite his busy schedule, he would come to her and seek her out.
As she touched her lips, she could feel his warmth and the joy that came from their kiss. It was also due to this that she looked at Kiba and made her second instruction, "Kiba, can you handle it?"
"Yes, Buchou."
Kiba nodded, as he was prepared to make a move, ready to fight, and, if possible, finish this match as soon as possible.
"Take away all of Riser's Peerage members except for Ravel-nee, Yubeluna, and Riser, okay?"
Whether it was Ravel, Yubeluna, or Riser, Rias felt like they should be handled by
"Your order is my wish."
As Kiba made the gentleman bow and was ready to leave, Sato suddenly said, "By the way, Kiba, when we finish later, can I test my technique on you?"
"My body is yours, Sato-kun."
"..." Sato.
"I was kidding." Kiba laughed, but he nodded. "Okay, let's be together later when we finish this Rating Game."
"..." Sato.
"By the way, Koneko, Gasper, give me your full support, okay?"
"Don't worry. I will give you their locations."
"Y-Yes!"
Koneko and Gasper nodded and told him to leave everything about the scout, and told him about the locations of Riser's Peerage members in real time.
"Then, I will go now."
Kiba took a deep breath as he let the energy flow towards his legs before—
"Godspeed."
There was no noise, wind, or anything else.
Kiba simply vanished, but then the impact of his speed created a powerful wind that blew through the surrounding area.
"Barrier."
Fortunately, Akeno had reacted and protected the area with her barrier, so Kiba's speed wouldn't destroy the room. Still, she couldn't help but look at Sato curiously. "Why did you want to meet, Kiba?"
"...don't look at me with that gaze." Sato sighed helplessly at everyone's gaze. "Also, Gasper, why did you hug yourselves like that while looking at me with blush?"
"N-Nothing!"
"Anyway, there is this new development that I have created from my Sacred Gear, and if this is successful, then it will make me stronger."
"It doesn't matter." Rias looked at Sato with a pampering expression and said, "My everything is yours."
"Hmm?"
Yet, before Koneko, Akeno, and Gasper asked, as they wondered why Sato and Rias appeared to be more intimate than they should be—
"Riser-sama's eight pawns, two knights, two rooks, and one bishop, knock out."
As Grayfia made that announcement, everyone was boiling with excitement!
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
However, this was just the beginning.
"Let's go now."
"Yes."
Yup, all of the extras had been taken care of, and it was the turn for the main character to emerge.
