(Y/N)'s POV

Right now, I'm in the mountains. We were brought here by Rias, after she said we were going to train. By we, I mean her Peerage. I borrowed Asia to the peerage because of the lack of devils in her team. That's the solid reason why I followed them with me carrying Asia's luggage...by carrying I meant by levitating it in the air.

"You don't need to do this (N/N)." Asia looked at me as we kept on walking.

"Come on, this the least I can do to help you." I patted her head, which make her smile before turning around. "Yo, Issei! Can you go faster, slowpoke?"

"Easy...for you to say..." Issei was way behind as he was carrying a bag pack that double his size. He was struggling to get up the mountain with a large amount of weight on his back.

"Can you at least be like Koneko? She have the muscles that even you don't have."

"What are you-" Issei was interrupted when Koneko walked past him with more luggage on her back. "Are you kidding me?!"

"...See you later." She then walked by my side. "...Aren't you tired...from using your magic...to carry those stuff?"

"Nah..." I waved at her dismissively. I only bring my duffel bag full of clothes so I don't need to worry about my luggage. "This is a part of my training." Both Koneko and Asia tilted their head at me with confusion. "What I meant was, I'm trying to use Cipher's energy till it fullest potential so I don't need to chant for him to possess me."

"At least you try, nya~" Blair popped out from my duffel bag before jumping on my head. "Maybe you became so powerful that you can control the universe, nya~"

"I don't even think about conquering the universe."

"You disappoint me, kid." Bill said as he floats on top of us. "You should do that. They always give free food coupon for us if we become world leader."

"Geez, its excite me!" I sarcastically cheered. "I feel like I want to dance~"

"Maybe we should do a duet."

"What? We sing a song when we fight someone and makes everyone think I'm a lunatic? Very good idea."

"Really?"

"That was sarcasm, Bill..."

"I wished...that I could see...Bill talking to you...(N/N)." Koneko commented, looking at me stoically.

"Oh, please...You feel great without him talking 24/7 in your head..." I deadpanned at the white-haired girl.

"(N/N), I can see him too you know." Asia gives me a reassuring smile. Man, her warm smile always makes me happy. Koneko give me a small glare before elbowed me on the gut, releasing the levitated bag as it fall down on to me. "(N/N)!"

"Master!" Blair exclaimed in shock as she manage to jump out of way.

"Ouch...my spleen..." I groaned in pain.

Couple of minute of hiking and healing (courtesy of jealous Koneko), we finally reached the top of the mountain and saw a huge mansion. I mesmerize the view for a bit because of its architecture.

"Wow, how beautiful!" Its looks like Asia agrees with my point of view.

"Alright, you guys." Rias said to us with some enthusiasm. "Let's head on inside and get on this training."

"We just got here!" Issei cried in despair.

"You know what they say, bro." I patted his back, showing some sympathy. "No pain, no gain."

We all went inside and went to one of the room and got changed into our training clothes. I decide to join them to train my physical body. I know that Bill is strong and all but he always careless. I mean, he was beaten by the same damn family three times with even with all of his power. This is what happen if you get cocky. One step you become Julius Caesar, and the next day you have the Senate stabbing him in the back. Wait, is my history correct?

[Timeskip]

Issei got his ass handed by Kiba in sword fighting. I raised my book down occasionally if to see he fall to the ground in pain. At the same time without them knowing, I was practicing my telekinesis power by floating small pebbles in the air. I decides to put insult in Issei's injury by throwing all the pebbles at him, gaining his attention on me, leaving him wide open for Kiba to hit him in the head.

"Focus, lizard hand." I flipped the next page of my book, ignoring all the curse that was flint onto me by my dear twin brother.

"You're mean to your brother..." Blair smirked, currently in her human form. "Not that I don't like it though~"

I pulled out summoned water spray at her as she backs away. "Bad kitty!"

"Don't do that, nya~"

[Timeskip]

Next training is with Akeno in demonic-power. As the black-haired woman were teaching both Issei and Asia. I was looking at the mirror, both my eyes accidently shot a laser beam on it. As it reflected on the surface, I dodged the red laser blast, which unfortunately hit my brother.

"WHY ME?!" Issei shouted in pain.

"Sorry!" I apologize, before accidently shot another laser at him, who was already on the ground. "That one was an accident!"

"I told you that you didn't have full control of my power." Bill put his hand on his head, before dodging another laser shot. "Okay, we need to do something about that..."

"I CAN'T STOP FIRING MY LASER!"

[Timeskip]

"Why are you in shades?" Kiba asked with as I'm currently wearing a black sunglasses. "The sun is already sets."

"I've became what you known as Cyclops from the X-Men." I sighed in despair as I still couldn't control my laser shooting power. "I was hoping for claws to come out from my hands but it didn't happen."

"You have a wild imagination." Kiba chuckled at me.

"Better be crazy than be a pervert." I laughed before hearing someone been attacked. "Speaking of it..."

"(Y/N), can you please get your girlfriend to STOP punching me?!" Issei desperately begged, currently doing some physical training with Koneko. "I'm going to die here!"

"Hell hath no fury like angry woman." I quoted while playing with some pebbles. Koneko nodded her head as she kept on attacking him. I decide to throw one of the rock at him but suddenly it grew a massive size which Koneko manage to caught it with her bare hand

"(N/N)...be careful..." Koneko warned as she threw it at Issei who manage to dodge it.

"I really need to control my power..."

Kiba patted my back as we continue to watch Issei got beaten up by Koneko.

"Why don't you start meditating?" Bill suggested. "Go to Himalaya and stay with the abnormal snow man for week. He gives you free ice cream."

I deadpanned at the floating triangle. "How the hell you know this thing?"

"I have my way..." He then pulled my sunglasses on as I began to shoot laser at Issei and occasionally burn nearby tree. "Now, control your power."

"(Y/N)!" Kiba chased me as I aimlessly walking with laser keep shooting from my eyes.

"FUCK YOU BILL!" I cursed while chasing the now flying glasses. The only responds that I heard is Bill laughing his ass off like a maniac...which he is.

[Timeskip]

"I can't believe you almost burned down the forest," Rias chuckled as we all sitting on the table for dinner. "And the mansion as well."

"Quiet you!" I scolded her while wearing my shades. I looked like an idiot doing that in the night. Man, respect to Scott for having to deal with this 24/7 in his life. "Also, blowing up mansion is character development. Coming from the metallic Russia."

"How is that a development?" Issei deadpanned while eating his meal.

"...Depends..." I looked at the table as it looked like we having a feast. Blair was sitting beside me eating fish. I do wonder on why in the world Koneko glancing at Blair once or twice moreover at the damn fish? Guess is a mystery for another time.

"At least you can look at boobs without no one noticing." Issei encourage me...which led to me taking his head and slammed it on the table. "GAGH!"

"I'm not like you, idiot." I gritted my teeth in annoyance.

"I'm trying to cheer you up..."

"You know better that to cheer me up is to see people in pain..." I then realized what I just said as everyone looked at me. "Why did I said that?"

"Yeah, why did you say that?" Issei copied my last question.

"I knew you have your sadism in you!" Bill cheered. "Why don't you show it to the world, kid? Maybe destroy some building or turns every coffee into decaf."

"I've been influenced by Bill...Sooner or later, he'll force me to do a musical." I pinched my nose before drinking more water to drown of my stress. I then looked at Akeno who was refilling my rice. "By the way, your cooking is amazing Akeno. It seems like you're perfect wife figure."

"Ufufufu, you are embarrassing me." She smiles while she puts her hand on her cheek.

"I also made this soup." Asia pouted as I complimented the black haired girl.

"Don't worry Asia, you're a good cook too." I genuinely smile as she blushed a bit.

"It is? I'm so glad...Then now I can become (N/N)-san's..."

"Hmm? I couldn't hear the last part. What was that?"

"N-No, it's nothing!" She waves her hand while her face becomes red. It took me minutes to realize what she means before pulling out a book to hide my now growing blush.

"Ara, ara. Why are you hiding your cute face?" Akeno asked.

"I want to finish a chapter." I lied to her.

"But we're having din-"

"I WANT TO READ!"

"You're bad liar, kid." Bill chuckled at me.

"Shut it!"

"Now, Issei," Rias called out as we both looked at her, I only lowered down my book. "From today's training what have you found out?"

"I am the weakest among us." Issei give her honest answer.

"Yes, that's for sure."

"Ouch! That must be hurt." I hissed when Rias told him that.

"Akeno, Yuuto, and Koneko have lots of battle experience even though they have not participated in the game, so they can fight if they get used to it. But you and Asia basically don't have any experience yet. Even so, Asia's healing ability and your Boosted Gear is something that can't be ignored. Even the enemy knows that. I want you to have at least the power to run away from the enemy." She explains to us.

"You want him to be the Flash?" I deadpanned at her. "Is it so damn hard?"

Rias nodded at my question. "Running away is also a part of the strategy. Retreating to form a new formation is also a professional way of battling. There are ways to win a match like that. However, running away with your back facing an enemy is something quite hard. If it's an enemy with roughly the same strength as you, it is easy, but showing your back to an enemy who is far superior to you is basically asking them to kill you. So being able to run away from such enemy will also be a part of your strength. So I have to teach you and Asia the time you have to run away. Of course, I will also teach you how to fight the enemy head on."

"Roger that." Issei nodded his head, showing some determination in his eyes.

"Well, good luck with that." I smirked before noticing something. I opened my glasses and saw that my eyes didn't shoot anymore laser. "Hmm..."

I aimed my eyes at one of the vase and immediately shoot red line at it, destroying the vase into shards. "Good, I control it right now!"

"Can you give me those glasses?" Issei asked.

"No." I immediately rejected his offer.

"Let's take a bath after the meal." Rias smiled at everyone. "It's an outdoor bath, so it's wonderful."

I thought of it for a second before looking at Issei with a lecherous smile already on his face. "Whatever you think of, it's a bad idea."

"He's right. We're not going to peek, Issei." Kiba says with a smile.

"Idiots!" He scolded both of us. "D-Don't blurt it out!"

"Too late, lizard hand." I deadpanned at my dear brother before drinking a glass of water.

"Oh, Issei. Do you want to peek at us while we are taking a bath?" Rias teased. Everyone was looking at the perv as I keep drinking my water. Rias then chuckles and said something that almost make me choke, "Then how about you bathe with us? I don't mind. Maybe (N/N) can join too~"

I spit out my drink before looking at the red-haired girl.

"How about you, Akeno?"

"If it's the cute (N/N) then I don't mind of him to join." Akeno giggled as she looked at me seductively. "I might want to wash his 'gentleman' parts."

I got a bit tensed when she said that. What the hell she meant by that?! Issei looked a bit cheerful, probably thinking a lot of perverted stuff in his mind right now.

"How about you, Asia? You should be all right if it's your beloved (N/N), right?"

'DON'T BRING HER TO THIS, DEVIL!' I thought with a searing anger in my mind.

Asia got red and became quite after Rias' question. "If it's with (N/N) then I'm alright."

With that answer, I don't even think I can cover it with my book. I need a damn newspaper as my face already red as Rias's hair. Well, with that I summoned a newspaper to cover my face up.

"Lastly Koneko? How about it?"

"...No." She disagreed with the idea. I sighed in relief..."...Only (N/N)..."

"Then it's a no for Issei. Alright (N/N)~" Rias smiled at me, currently hiding my blush with a newspaper. Issei on the other hand got really depressed after the rejection. "Are you ready for a bath with us?"

"As a gentleman...I'll pass." I casually answered.

"Oh well. It's a no then." The other girls got a little bit sad the fact I'm not going into the bath with them. I stood up from the chair, still covering my face with the newspaper.

"Issei, Kiba...let's get naked and have bath together. No homo..."

"SHUT UP!" Issei shouted in anger.

"Why are you reading newspaper at time like this, (Y/N)?" Kiba smiled at me.

"None of your business..." I replied, currently hiding my blush with the damn newspaper.

In the bath, I was just relaxing after all the blood rushed to my face during dinner with a warm towel on my head. I became slightly irritated as I heard Issei grunting in the bathroom. I lifted some portion of the towel and saw my brother is having an intense staring contest with the wall.

"Should we leave you two alone?" Kiba teased my perverted twin as he was sitting beside me. "It seems like you and the wall need some privacy."

"The wall is innocent. Don't molest it with your perverted look." I joined in their conversation.

"Shut up both of you." Issei scolded as he kept on concentrating. "You could've join them in the bath yet you decline. At least you can tell me how they looked like, how soft their boobs and hands are."

"That's what the phrase 'use your head not your dick' means. What the heck are you even doing right now?"

"This is a part of my training!"

"Getting an x-ray vision is part of training?" Kiba smiled at my brother's stupidity. "I didn't know that's in your training routine?"

"Wow, I didn't knew you were savage, Kiba." I looked at the Knight of Gremory. "Guess that pretty face hide it."

"Thanks. I learned from the best."

"Why thank you."

"If you two wanna bang or something, do it in somewhere private!" Issei pointed out while still looking on the wall.

I sighed and decide to be the most responsible brother...I grabbed Issei from behind and suplex him into the bath! I got out from the water to see my twin already fainted from the hit. Kiba nervously laughed while I got back for my relaxation.

[Timeskip]

Next day, I was sitting on the chair as we they start teaching about the history of devils, angels and fallen angels...speaking of which, three member of Peerage just returned from their scouting that I asked them to do. It seems that my suspicion was right.

He shares the same traits as a phoenix. Furthermore, they have that relic than can heal anyone. Phoenix Tear I believe? Now the only thing that in my mind in should I tell them about this or did she already know about this? I sighed before listening to Asia who was talking about two stuff that was used for exorcism.

"Now I will talk about the traits of holy water and the Bible. First of all, the holy water. It will be very terrible if a Devil touches it." Asia explained to us about the use of it.

"That's true, so you can't touch it as well, Asia. Your skin will get harmed." Rias told her with a smile.

"Sob, that's right...I can't touch the holy water anymore..."

"Oi, don't cry!" I deadpanned at her.

"I will tell you how to make one afterwards." Asia put down the small bottle on her hand containing the holy water. "I don't know if it will be useful but there are a couple of ways to make them."

"What happen if we drink it though?" I curiously said. Everyone raised up their brows at this. "What? It's not like I'm gonna drink it like alcohol or something. Geez..."

"Somehow, for some reason I think you'll be crazy enough to do that." Issei commented.

"He makes a good point, kid." Bill nodded as I deadpanned at the flying Dorito.

"And what's make you think of that?!"

"I don't know, maybe you'll try to think that pain is hilarious."

"I'm not a masochist, Bill...You know that." I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Asia, may you continue?"

"Next is the Bible. I have been reading it every day since I was a child. But I'm in trouble now because it gives me a pain in the head even if I only read a sentence of it."

"You are a Devil."

"You are a Devil after all."

"...A Devil."

"Ufufu, Devils receive intense damage."

"I don't think you should read it anymore, Asia. For your own good."

Everyone pointed it out including me as the blonde-haired ex-priestess starts to have teary eyes.

"I can't read the Bible anymore." Asia cried out. "However, this is my favorite phrase...... Oh God. Please forgive a sinful person like myself who can't read the Bible--au!" She received damage again by praying to God.

"Oi!" I deadpanned at the girl.

[Timeskip]

[Dream]

I opened up my eyes and saw that I was floating in the space full of stars. I looked around and saw the amphibian sentient from my dream before.

"Oh, it's you again." I greeted, walking...more like floating towards them.

The reincarnated Cipher. It's pleasant to meet you once more. Axotolt said to me with his big looming voice in this giant space.

"Yeah, yeah." I waved him off. "What am I even doing here anyway? Is it about Bill misbehavior or something cause it was not my fault."

The time will come when you didn't need his existent. Axotolt told me as I perked up in interest.

"What the hell do you mean by that?"

Two cannot in one set of universe as one must go out, living its vessel.

"Okay, I don't get it."

Be prepare, young Cipher.

"Is that all you got?"

Time is not by your side as another person has inherent it. When the time come, he will seek for you...beware...

What in the world he means by that?

[Reality]

I got up from my bad, panting a bit from my wild dream. I looked around and noticed that Kiba is still sleeping in his bed. I looked beside me and saw the current condition I was. Blair was sleeping naked in the same bed as I am. As blood came rushing up to my head, I quickly turned around and noticed that Issei wasn't in his bed.

"I need some refreshment." I got up from my bed and walked out of the room.

I made my way in the dark hallway of the mansion before stopping at a black piano. I never notice this was here before. Before I knew it, I already making my way at it before sitting down on the chair. I caress the keys on it, mesmerized the pattern of the piano. My hand got in a position...before I starts playing it smoothly.

[Play the song]

"I didn't know you can play piano." A familiar voice called from behind, stopping me from moving my finger. I looked behind and saw the red-haired Ruined Princess walked towards me.

"Truth to be told, I never touched it at all." I nervously laughed, embarrass from the truth. "I just recalled someone played this and copied their movement."

"I guess this is what you called natural talent." She smiled and sat beside me.

"We are not in a farm and there's no cow around." I smirked at her previous statement. "But I swear I can smell shit."

"Continue," She asked me.

I looked up in shock before nodding my head in agreement. I touched the piano once more and starts playing a tune from a game I used to play. Man, that game gives tears to a man if I recalled. I never thought I cried to an 8-bit drama RPG.

Without me knowing, Rias put her head on my shoulder, startling me for a second. I kept on pressing the keys on piano under the bright moonlight.

"I'm curious, Rias." I started up a conversation with her. "Why are you against this marriage?" Rias didn't answer my question right away as she pondered for a bit. I gave a frustrated sigh, continue on playing the calm music. "Never mind. I knew it's a personal matter."

"...I'm a 'Gremory'." She answered me.

"I see..." I nodded my head, starting to understand the situation. "It's because you're the Heiress of the house am I right?"

"That's true." She scooted even closer to me, much for my chagrin. I felt a bit uncomfortable with this. "However, this is also something that is a burden to me. Everyone looks at me as Rias from the Gremory. I can't have them look at me simply as Rias. That's why I'm enjoying my life in the human world. They don't know about the Gremory the Devil. Everyone looks at me as who I am. I really like that feeling. I never felt something like this in the Devils' society, and I never will now on as well. The only time I can enjoy my life as myself is when I'm in the human world."

I took a glance on her eyes and I was right. She felt really sad about this matter.

"I want to be with someone who will love me as Rias without the fact that I'm a Gremory. That's my small dream I have...... Unfortunately, Raiser only looks at me as Rias from the Gremory. And he loves me as Rias from the Gremory. That's why I hate it. But still, the pride of being a Gremory is very important. My feelings may be complicated, but I want to cherish this small dream I have."

I sighed before pulling a smile on my face. "Then be Rias." I suggested with a cheerful manner. "It doesn't matter what people think you are. You are who you are and that's Rias Gremory.... Show them that you can make the name by yourself as Rias and not by your clan names. In fact, it doesn't matter who you are. You're still and will always be our Rias, president of Occult Research Club."

It only responded with silences. I thought got a bit nervous as I looked at the red-haired girl. "What's the matter? Is it too cheesy? Did I said something wr-"

"I-It's nothing." She shakes her head, a bit of panicking. I could've swore I saw a bit of red in her cheek but I guess it's my imagination. She then put her head on my shoulder as I kept on playing the piano. "Thank you...(Y/N)..."

"Nothing personal." I smirked at her as press more and more keys on it. After about one more minutes of playing it, I pressed the final key, ending the song. Well, sounds repetitive but it's beautiful pieces. "Rias-" I looked beside me and saw that the red-haired girl has already fallen to sleep on my shoulder. I had to admit, she looked cute-What the fuck did I think of that? Bros before Hoes! Bros before Hoes! Remember Issei, (Y/N)! Don't break the simple bro code.

I gently picked her up and carried her bridal style. I then tiptoed my way to the second floor, where her room is located. I keep on going and slowly opened the door, hoping that it didn't make that creaking sound on it. Fortunately, I get in without any problem as I sighed in relief. I slowly made my way to her bed and gently put her on the bed before taking the blanket and tuckered her in.

"Sleep tight, Rias." I gave a gentle smile before making my way to my room. Or so I thought...I felt someone hand grabbed mine. I knew who it was and I don't bother to turn around to know who it was.

"Can you...sleep with me?" She asked in her sleepy state. My head are spinning in all direction because of this question. I know her habit of sleeping and I would not take the chance to see birthday suit in a morning!

'Dammit, woman!' I cried out in my mind. 'Oh never mind...she takes no for answer...'

And it's true, she pulled me into the bed and quickly got nude. She the cuddled close to me and continue to sleep like nothing happen....

'I CAN'T SLEEP!' I shouted in my mind. My eyes were wide open with my body felt the soft mounds of hers. 'HOW THE HELL ISSEI SLEEP LIKE THIS?! This is insane...beyond insane! I hope I can get to sleep and forget this ever happen...'

[Timeskip]

'I didn't get to sleep...' I thought with my half lids eyes and a blaring alarm clock in my room downstairs. I forgot that I set the volume towards max. 'Well, at least I can have a day-'

"Rias, it's time for training~" Akeno called out.

'This is the time I knew...'

Akeno opened up the door with the rest of the peerage.

'...I fucked up...God or Satan out there...have mercy on me...'

"Ara, ara~ What do we have here~?" Akeno called out, an intense glaring behind those smiles can been felt by me.

"...(N/N)..." Koneko cracked her knuckles. "And I thought...you aren't...a pervert..."

"(N-N/N), what's the meaning of this?" Asia starts to tear up after seeing me.

"Master~" Both Blair and Raynare gave me the same aura as Akeno's killing intent.

"You broke the bro code!" Issei scolded, tears running on his eyes.

"It's nice knowing you..." Kiba only smiled at me. WAIT, WHAT DOES HE MEANT BY THAT?!

Rias opened up her eyes and smiled at them. "What's with the ruckus?" She then looked at me. "Morning, (N/N)~"

"Get off of me, tomato head..." I replied, already felt dead inside.

Morning...never felt so troublesome in my whole life...

To Be Continue

Yes, I cried to an indie game. The song is beautiful...Shit, I'm tearing up again...Give me a sec..*ran out and starts crying while Deadpool looking at me*

Deadpool: This guy have problems.....ALSO WHERE'S MY UPDATE?! *in Batman's voice*
