Aside from the eerie runes, the rest looked fairly normal: a few sofas and a desk.
A petite girl sat on one sofa—Kuroha knew her.
First-year Tacheng Koneko.
Tiny build, loli features—she looked like an elementary kid. Tons of guys were into her, even turning full-blown lolicon for it. Kuoh Academy's mascot, basically.
She always had that sleepy vibe, munching yokan on the sofa with cute, steady chomps.
Noticing his stare, she glanced over.
"His name's Miyamoto Kuroha."
With Yuuki's intro, Koneko nodded sleepily.
"Hello."
Kuroha nodded back, and she returned to her snack.
Man, rumors weren't kidding—she's not much for words.
Swish!
A curtain rustled in the corner. Out stepped Rias—buck naked—followed by a flustered black-haired ponytail girl clutching a towel.
"President... you..."
"No worries—all family here."
Rias padded barefoot toward Kuroha, leaving wet footprints, droplets glistening on her skin.
"Couldn't shower at your place last night—felt gross."
She sauntered right up, explaining casually.
Kuroha froze, unsure what to say or where to look.
As embarrassment peaked, Rias hugged him tight, those massive swells squishing hard against him.
"Welcome to our Devil family~"
"R-Rias-senpai..."
Bent low in her embrace, he felt smothered.
This blissful pressure... when do I get to enjoy it properly?
Tears welled up.
"President, ease up—he's about to pass out."
The ponytail girl spoke up for him, just in time.
"Oops, got carried away. Finally got a guy servant—huge deal for me."
The dark-haired girl draped the towel over Rias, then turned to Kuroha.
"Pleased to meet you. I'm Himejima Akeno. Take care of me."
Himejima Akeno—impossible not to know. One of the "Two Big-Sis Figures" alongside Rias-senpai. Her gentle aura melted everyone like spring breeze.
"Y-Yeah... Miyamoto Kuroha. Nice to meet you."
"Alright, come sit."
Rias tugged him to the sofa.
Cue: Rias on his left, Akeno on his right.
What the hell...?
Slightest shift brushed cool skin. Kuroha sat ramrod straight, hands prim on knees.
Akeno smiled, taking his hand.
"Relax—no need to be so stiff."
Ahh... what a caring big sis. I'm in love.
Rias eyed him then.
"I said it before, but welcome to our Devil family. Everyone here's a Devil."
Her bluntness didn't shock him anymore, but all of them? That hit different.
"You saw that black-winged guy last night, right? Not a dream."
Like reading his doubts, she explained patiently.
"We call black-winged ones Fallen Angels. They served God once, but lust and dark thoughts cast them down. They're enemies to us Devils."highschooldxd.fandom
Devils first, now Fallen Angels?
Is this still my world?
Kuroha's head spun.
No breather—Rias kept going.
"Since ancient times, we Devils live in the Underworld—humans' 'Hell.' We've fought Fallen Angels endlessly for territory and survival. Devils contract with humans for power; Fallen Angels manipulate them to wipe us out. Angels serve God, hunting both Devils and Fallen—three factions in constant war."reddit
He wanted to buy it, but too fantastical.
"Rias-senpai... proof?"
She gave him a complex look, uttering four words.
"Amano Yuma."
Kuroha went rigid. Memories flooded: sweet times, then spear through his chest.
Gasping, eyes wide with terror.
Rias hugged him, stroking his hair gently.
"She exists—just erased memories after her goal."
Goal? What—am I the goal? Why kill me?
Rias tightened her hold like she read minds. Her warmth and heartbeat soothed him.
"Don't wanna burst your bubble, but Amano Yuma's a Fallen Angel. She targeted you 'cause you have a Sacred Gear."highschooldxd.fandom
Kuroha blinked. He'd heard that.
Straight from Yuma's mouth.
Her goal, huh?
Figures—a knockout like her wouldn't fall for him for real.
All a setup.
Bitterness soured his heart, knife-twisting pain.
But... I really fell for Amano Yuma...
Rias watched him with pity, knowing his story, his pain.
She held him helplessly, offering warmth.
"It's okay—past is past. You're mine now. Live as my servant from here on..."highschooldxd.fandom
Kuroha stared blankly.
If no dream, that spear pierced his heart.
The red-haired figure at the end? Rias-senpai.
She saved him, turned him into a servant to survive.
