DxD Crawling To The Top

Chapter 42



Title: Company...




….
Rias while sitting on her desk in the ORC Club room looks at the documents in front of her and frowns. 

She was a little angry at herself. She could feel Haruto slipping away from her fingers. He wasn't the kind of guy she could hold down by just showing a bit of her panties, and they have s*x every day (at least once). Even then, to her, he seems like he could just go to another woman at any time.


Rias wonders if she even has a spot in his heart by now. Or if any other woman has a spot in Haruto's heart. 'No, that Goddess b*tch has a spot in his heart.'


As she thinks of Athena, Rias' mind flares up in anger. She doesn't understand the woman, she would like to call Athena a rival in love. But that wouldn't be accurate, Athena would look at Haruto fu*king Rias silly and she wouldn't care at all. 


'It's as if she doesn't see me as competition at all.' Ponders Rias, her hand clenching in annoyance. 


That is when Akeno cones into the club room with tea. "Ara~ you seem mad."


Rias huffs. "Yes, I am extremely mad." 


"Does it have anything to do with Haruto?"



"Yes, it does." Says Rias frustrated. "I am afraid that Athena b*tch is going to try something. I mean she did some horrible things during her time in Olympus. What is stopping her from doing something like that to us and calling it an accident?"


"Haruto is." Answers Akeno with a soft smile on her face. Unlike Rias, she wasn't worried about an outcome like that. "He is known as the Existence Eater, Irregular Magician… and Harem King. One can say that even amongst Gods he is famous. Also if he was just as strong as your average God, then his Abyss Auction would have been taken over by some God. But it hasn't, and even then, Haruto is only eighteen years old. A young child in the eyes of most deities, devils, and any other long-living creature. You are seeing Athena by her past, and how strong she is by her accomplishments… but what about Haruto? Are his accomplishments any less? Some people can say that he is weak and a human, but that doesn't diminish his power, enhances it really, since someone like him must have easy access to change races."


Rias listens to all of this and takes a deep breath. "I guess I was worrying about nothing after all."


"Oh no, those worries are genuine." Confirms Akeno, her smile still on her face. "Athena would do horrible things to us without even missing a beat. Even then, the devils wouldn't be able to do anything, they could try attacking Olympus, but even then they would lose. They could try attacking Athena, but she would just run around, leading everyone in a helpless chase. Truly, the only thing stopping Athena is her weird love for Haruto. If she hurts us, she will be indirectly hurting him, so she won't do something like that."




Rias contemplates that, and she thinks that it must be the truth. She can tell by how Athena never talks to them, that she obviously isn't fond of any girl close to Haruto. But she seems to put up with it for his sake.



….
As the two young devils were discussing love, Haruto was in another predicament. 


He is currently in the Underworld while being escorted by a magical girl. "Haru -tan~ it's been so long since we spent time together like this."


A nostalgic look appears on Haruto's face as he thinks about that. "True, it has been quite a while. Wanna go and try some ice cream in the Vatican like we used to do back then?"



Serafall chuckles at the suggestion. "No way~ I don't want that b*tch Gabriel coming to reprimand us."


Haruto playfully shakes his head at that and he, together with Serafall teleport within an ice cream shop in the Underworld. She had rented the whole joint just for the both of them. 

Serafall is happy at this pace of the date between them. She takes some strawberry ice cream and Haruto gets some vanilla. 


"I heard that Loki is going to attack the Underworld soon." Haruto says suddenly, making Serafall spit out her ice cream and having the whole peaceful situation ruined by the news. Still, Haruto had a smile during the whole thing and even had a magic circle block Serafall's spit from landing on him.


"Ugh, okay… now we are gonna act like you didn't say that and have a nice date." Serafall puts that issue to the back of her mind and goes back to the date. Even though as a Satan it requires her to report something like this as it might involve the survival of the whole Devil race. But she didn't mind it at the moment. 


But Haruto doesn't seem to read the mood and continues saying. "By the way he has Fenrir, and the World Serpent with him."

This causes Serafall to almost choke on her ice cream once more. Fenrir is no joke because Loki could be handled by Sirzechs and Ajuka. The God-Killing Wolf would bring a whole new variable to the table. Even then, she is smart enough to see that the Old Satan faction could decide to cooperate with Loki.


"Damn it! Haruto read the mood!!" Yells Serafall as in annoyance she uses magic to take his ice cream too.


But Haruto is undisturbed by that as he conjures another piece of ice cream for himself. "So anyway, I suspect Rizevim might start playing his games now so you should be careful."


Bam!


Her forehead just hits the table as Haruto says that. She is beyond annoyed at this, the danger of this information is only secondary to her as she feels more concerned about the date. 


"This sucks." Serafall complains as she starts taking off her clothes, feeling a little horny. "C'mon let's do it on the table."


Haruto just looks at her with a calm look on his face, he casually continues eating ice cream as she undresses in front of him.

 
"Woah, c'mon now, this is the table where I am eating at." Says Haruto with a nonchalant look on his face.


Serafall looks at him weirdly, he was the guy who would have her agree to fu*k in a confession booth.

Haruto sees the frosty look she is giving him and can guess what she is thinking. In the end, he just adds. "But really though, this isn't exactly the time."


As soon as he says that Serafall's eyes widen. She too senses the thing that Haruto is talking about.


BOOOOOM!!!


The ice cream shop which they were in is obliterated as a huge explosion rocks the place.


As the smoke clears out, there is all wreckage, and only the table where Haruto and Serafall were sitting was okay. Mostly due to the translucent dark barrier with the abyss eye symbol on it.


That is when a man with long dark hair, pointy ears, and bat-like wings appears above the shop, looking at Serafall and Haruto with disdain. 


Haruto looks at the man. He continues eating his ice cream as he analyses the flying devil. "Yo, you must be Creuserey Asmodeus. One of the losers from the Loser Devil Faction."


"What did you say?! You filthy human!!" The Asmodeus screams out in anger at hearing Haruto call the Old Satan Faction losers.


"Hm? Company, stop playing tricks and kill him." Says Haruto nonchalantly, this confuses even Serafall.


*Puchi*

But that is when suddenly a hand pierces the Asmodeus' chest from behind. This instantly kills the Satan descendant.


The corpse then falls down on the ground and the culprit is revealed. It is a man wearing a suit and a white plain mask that covers just the top of their head.


"Sorry boss, he must have slipped." Says the man, a playful smile on his face.


"Hm? Did he now?" Asks Haruto, his ice cream eating figure brings chills down the man's spine. "So, Company, you wouldn't do something like try and test my powers would you?"


The masked man's body shakes at Haruto's words. 

"N -No, of course not boss." Answers the man. 


"I see…" Haruto says calmly. "Then you are demoted due to being too weak."


The man's eyes widened at that, he had planned to test how strong Haruto was. After all, Company is an intelligent being working for the Abyss Auction, and curiosity got the better of him. He was about to plead for his life as his body pops like a balloon.

Pop!

Haruto then looks at Serafall. "Well, every organization has its rebellious people."


Serafall is surprised by that since she could tell that the now dead man called Company, was an upper Ultimate Class Being. But Haruto killed him without a second thought. Even amongst devils, that kind of power was rare, and amongst an organization that has only been around for a handful of years, then that must be even more so.


"Are you sure it was a good idea to kill them?" Serafall asks, worried that this might weaken Abyss Auction. 


Haruto shakes his head at that. "Nah, I can make people like him whenever I want."
