Chapter 15: [15] : A New Red Grade Task, Meeting Sona Sitri and Tsubaki Shinra



~ Thank you all very much for the support :)

<><><><><><>

I opened my eyes and glanced at the clock. It was already 10 AM. I slowly got out of bed, washed up, ate breakfast, and headed out.

Since it was a day off, Kuoh Town had transformed from a peaceful little town into a bustling hub of activity. The streets were filled with students, but I was heading towards the academy.

To improve my physical strength and magic power, I needed to find more tasks and earn rewards. So, my plan was to search for and complete tasks within the academy grounds.

My primary target was the other Devil gathering place: the Student Council.

But to my pleasant surprise, I ran into one of the people I most wanted to meet before I even reached the school gates...

Student Council President Sona Sitri, and her Vice President, Tsubaki Shinra.

"Well, well, if it isn't Sona-kaichou and Tsubaki-san. What a coincidence."

"Hehe, indeed, Hibari-san. It is quite a coincidence. We were just about to go looking for you, and here you are. But why are you pretending to be so listless? Are you trying to avoid attention?"

Sona's gaze behind her glasses was complex, and her expression was strange.

"Well, this..."

Hearing Sona's pointed questions, I couldn't help but feel a twitch in the corner of my mouth. This was definitely Tomoe's fault for exaggerating things again!

That blabbermouth, Tomoe!

"I'm not hiding anything. This is just how I am, Sona-san. I..."

Before I could finish, Tsubaki cut me off. "If you're going to keep pretending, then there's no point in talking!"

'That loudmouth Tomoe, what nonsense did she spread this time?' Seeing Tsubaki's stern tone, I knew that pretending was useless. But I still inwardly cursed.

...

Unbeknownst to me, this encounter was orchestrated by Sona. She had been having her familiars monitor me since I left my house, all the way to the school... all to create this "Chance" encounter.

[Ding! Discovered target character: Sona Sitri. Task Grade: Red. Task Condition: Refuse to become her peerage member and help her find a peerage member with a Sacred Gear.]

[Ding! Discovered target character: Tsubaki Shinra. Task Grade: Red. Task Condition: Defeat her in a direct confrontation.]

I looked at the newly issued tasks and nodded thoughtfully. They were both High-class, so the task grades were within my expectations.

But thinking about the [Rinnegan] I received from the last Red Grade reward, I couldn't help but get excited about these two new Red Grade tasks.

However, Sona's task was a bit of a headache. Refusing her offer was easy, but finding her a peerage member with a Sacred Gear was troublesome.

Male candidates were out of the question. But finding a female Sacred Gear wielder was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Although, I did have the Vritra's Sacred Gears I extracted from Saji...

Damn, how could I forget about that! I had a ready-made Sacred Gear. Why bother looking for another one? I could just find a girl I knew and implant the Sacred Gear in her.

'Tsk tsk tsk', this task was easier than I thought.

As for Tsubaki's task, that was even simpler. Although I couldn't fully utilize my power yet, I was at least at Peak High-class.

...

Seeing my expression shift from a frown to a slight smile, Sona, who had no idea what I was thinking, was a little confused.

"Since we've met here, Hibari-san, I won't beat around the bush."

"With your intelligence, you probably already know why I'm looking for you. That's right, Tomoe has told me about you. You have exceptional talent and potential. Therefore, I would like to invite you to become my peerage member! Will you accept?"

"...."

I looked at the familiar scene before me and sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, you and Rias are really two peas in a pod. But Tomoe should have told you that I already rejected Rias. I have no intention of becoming a Devil at the moment. So, I'm sorry, Sona-san."

"I heard about that from Tomoe, but I still wanted to try. I won't give up so easily..."

"Rias and I are quite similar in this regard. We're both very persistent when it comes to the things we want. I'm sure Rias feels the same way."

Having already anticipated my refusal, Sona didn't seem too disappointed. But a hint of regret still lingered on her face.

"Heh, you and Rias are truly good friends. You even act the same when recruiting peerage members. But that's what makes you so charming, Sona-san!"

Hearing my compliment, Sona blushed slightly. "Thank you for the compliment, Hibari-san. I'm honored."

After chatting with Sona, I couldn't help but admire her. As the heiress of the Sitri Clan, she carried herself with grace and elegance.

Now that the system tasks had been issued, I needed to plan how to complete them. So, I didn't want to linger here any longer.

"In that case, I have some things to take care of. I'll take my leave. See you later, Sona-san, Tsubaki-san."

...

After saying goodbye, I turned and headed towards the academy classrooms.

It wasn't until my figure disappeared from their sight that Tsubaki finally spoke. "Kaichou, why didn't you let me test him? If I could defeat him, wouldn't it be easier to make him your peerage member?"

Hearing Tsubaki's suggestion, Sona calmly explained, "Rias met him first and intends to recruit him. I need to inform her first. So now is not the best time for you to fight Hibari-san. I'll ask for Rias's permission to let you two have a proper match."

"Alright, if it's because of Rias-sama, then I'll have a proper match with Hibari-san later."

Then, Sona and Tsubaki headed towards the Occult Research Club, intending to discuss the matter of me with Rias.

...

Meanwhile, I was aimlessly wandering around the academy grounds.

'What a busy morning...' I had searched almost the entire academy and hadn't triggered a single new task. It was frustrating.

Just as I was starting to doubt myself, a girl with brown hair in a braided ponytail and glasses appeared in my line of sight.

It was Aika Kiryuu.

In the original story, she was Issei's classmate and Asia's friend. She was one of the few girls who could interact normally with the perverted trio. She often teased them.

She wore glasses and claimed to have "Super Eyes" that could accurately gauge the size of a guy's "little brother."

She often taught Asia some rather lewd things and loved to talk about explicit topics.
