Several days after the pool event Alex woke up tangled in limbs. He had Rias on one side, and Xenovia took over the other with her insane sleeping style. After catching them together at the pool, Rias said that she wanted one more night of having Alex to herself. She then started to be more open to having Xenovia with them, though she didn"t really like it. The first night with both of them was quite interesting.Alex got out of bed and started cleaning the room, he was amazed that there were more girls clothes on the floor than his. He also opened the window and let the room air out a bit. His actions eventually woke Rias and Xenovia, who asked what he was doing while rubbing the sleep from their eyes.
"Aren"t cla.s.sroom visits soon? What"ll happen if families come over and the place isn"t properly clean?" Though due to to the lack of said families for most of the girls this wouldn"t usually be a problem, but Rias instantly recalled the morning after her first night with Alex with Grayfia and instantly joined him in cleaning. Apparently he scared her so bad she didn"t even stop to put on clothes till he reminded her. Alex however, was planning for when Sirzechs would most likely be coming over.
Alex thanked his sense of timing when later that day in the club room, both Sirzechs and Grayfia arrived. It was his first time officially meeting Sirzechs, and Alex swiftly apologized to prevent any animosity.
"Sorry for calling you out before, but I wanted to make a point." Sirzechs laughed at Alex"s words and hastily said,
"No no, you were right. I was also looking for a way to get my cute little sister out of that situation, and if I knew you were the red dragon emperor then things might"ve gone a little better. I have been negotiating with the Pheonix family on your behalf, but we"ll talk more about that during the summer, you will be returning with Rias right?" Sirzechs asked all of a sudden. If he was part of her peerage then it wasn"t even a question, but he wasn"t so there was a good chance he wouldn"t. Alex swiftly responded,
"As I said I wanted to make a point before, if none of the Gremory family holds it against me than I"ll be more than happy to return to the underworld with Rias. I intend to spend most, if not all of it in intense training though." Alex was speaking the truth, since the youth Devils will mostly be training for the rating games then he would be doing intensive nonstop training as well, just not for the games. Sirzechs nodded at his words, and was also impressed with his drive for strength, as long as he didn"t enter the route of a tyrant.
They spent the rest of the time in the club room talking about the upcoming conference meeting between the three factions. Soon they entered the talk of boarding, and Sirzechs and Grayfia ended up spending the night in the dorm, Sirzechs in Alex"s room and Grayfia in Rias"s. Rias sent a silent thank you to Alex for cleaning in the morning. As they were laying down, Alex on the bed and Sirzechs on the floor, he suddenly said to Alex,
"Truly, thank you for helping Rias, she does seem to be very happy now. I"m a rather useless Maou, not even being able to make my sister happy."
"Indeed." Was all that Alex said. Sirzechs flinched and said,
"You really don"t care about me being a Maou, do you?" Everywhere Sirzechs went was people trying to appease the Maou, always being overly polite or fearful. Alex didn"t do any of that, and actually seemed to look at him as equals. Sirzechs found this interesting. Alex simply shrugged and replied,
"Well I crashed a party you most likely had a part in, then I kidnapped your sister and took her purity, wouldn"t it be kinda useless to care about you being a Maou at this point?" Alex said, he didn"t even try to hide his relations with Rias, mostly because Grayfia already knew and most likely reported it to the family. Sirzechs didn"t know if he should laugh or cry at Alex"s blunt words.
"As long as you act the part when needed, I don"t care how you act around me in private. I also wouldn"t mind being called "big brother" you know." Alex smiled, and didn"t say anything as he turned over and went to sleep. Sirzechs smiled bitterly and went to sleep as well.
They then spent the next few days showing Sirzechs around the city, and essentially playing around. Alex knew he was gathering ideas for the underworld, and helped him to experience what he could. After a few days of this he and Grayfia left until the cla.s.sroom visit and conference meeting.
It was a few days until the meeting that a silver haired guy was standing around near the school. Alex recognized him immediately and walked towards him while keeping a straight face. As he got closer the guy went to say something, but Alex got to it first,
"What can I do for you, vanishing dragon Vali lucifer?" He was noticeably on edge after Alex used his last name. Vali then adopted a smile and replied confidently,
"Fufufufu, if you even know who I really am, then you might be a worthy opponent. I look forward to nothing more than a good fight, what will you show me when we fight red dragon emperor?" Alex"s Saiyan blood was boiling to fight Vali, but he held it in and said,
"When the heavenly dragons fought, they were so far above that not even G.o.d or Maou could stand against them. Let"s wait until we reach the same stage, and do our names proud." Vali was stunned for a moment, Alex knew he would have a hard time waiting for a good fight, but he knew his words about reaching the top weren"t a joke and smiled.
"Very well, I"ll be waiting for you at the top red dragon." Saying that he turned around and walked away. Alex couldn"t help laughing to himself that even when he challenged him Vali was overconfident.
