"President, didn't you kick your sister out yesterday? Serafall came to stay over at my place, and then she seemed to stuff several Devil Chess Pieces into my body in the middle of the night."
"But since the reincarnation failed, perhaps your sister realized she'd caused trouble, so she slipped away from my place early this morning."
"Elder Sister?!"
Sona's gaze turned sharp. That disobedient sister of hers... had really given her quite a surprise~~
She had clearly told Serafall not to disturb Su Yang before...
"Wait? Su-kun? Since you have Sona's pieces in you, why did you agree to become my Servant!? Are you making a fool of me?"
Rias narrowed her eyes as well.
If he really was making a fool of her...
"No, I'm not making a fool of you. Didn't I just say that, due to special circumstances, I didn't complete the reincarnation?"
"Yang-kun? You mean?"
Sona nodded, snapping out of her earlier state of disappointment.
"I mean, perhaps there weren't enough pieces, so I didn't successfully reincarnate. But there is indeed demonic power inside my body."
Up to this point, Su Yang had not told a single lie. He had merely concealed the fact that he could devour Devil Chess Pieces at any time.
Listening to Su Yang and Sona's conversation, Rias's eyes went wide!
"You said there weren't enough pieces?! Sona used eight pieces on you, with a total value of fourteen! And that still wasn't enough to reincarnate you?!~"
Rias thought, I may not be as good at studying or have grades as outstanding as you two, but don't try to fool me.
"Yes, that's the truth. So when I said I was willing to become your Servant, President, I wasn't lying either. Maybe if we add your pieces, President, I'll be able to reincarnate successfully?"
Su Yang spread his hands.
Mm, the choice was in their hands now. If they believed that using Rias's Devil Chess Pieces would successfully reincarnate him, then they could go ahead.
He was just a little short of breaking through to the strength of an Intermediate Devil anyway. He had no objections if they wanted to give him Devil Chess Pieces.
"My, my!~~ Yang-kun's potential really is enormous."
Akeno Himejima said with a smile.
As Rias's Queen, she already knew what choice Rias would make.
"Fourteen points' worth of pieces couldn't reincarnate him, and before even being reincarnated, he drove back an Ultimate-class Lost Devil. He really is irresistible~~"
Akeno Himejima looked at Su Yang with hazy eyes.
Koneko silently tugged on Akeno Himejima's hand beside her.
Felines... were all possessive over their food~
After a moment of confusion, Rias's gaze became resolute.
"I've decided!~ Yang, I want to take you as my Servant! Only a Servant like you is worthy of the Gremory family name!~"
Rias declared to Su Yang with high spirits.
The stronger and more promising the Servant, the more she needed one right now! Preferably the kind of Dragon King or Holy Child who could give Raisa Phoenix a thorough beating!
"I have no objections. I just can't guarantee whether your pieces will successfully reincarnate me."
Su Yang sounded utterly unconcerned.
In truth, he was completely certain that trying to reincarnate him with such a small number of Devil Chess Pieces was simply a fantasy.
"Wait, I don't recall saying I agreed, did I? Based on what Yang said and what it actually means, shouldn't Yang be my Servant now?"
Sona Sitri confidently adjusted her glasses, completely shedding her earlier loser-in-love demeanor.
"Mm, in a sense, that's true. If the rules permit it, I should be able to participate." Su Yang thought for a moment.
Rules? Weren't rules decided by the Satans?
Of the Four Great Satans, Sirzechs and Serafall stood on their side. Sirzechs and Ajuka, the two Transcendents, had always been in league with each other. With three of the Four Great Satans on Rias and Sona's side, what did changing such a minor rule amount to?
"Sona... aren't we childhood friends? You may have resolved your major problem now, but mine still hasn't been resolved..."
Rias spoke to Sona in a slightly gentler tone.
"This..."
Sona really wanted to say that this had nothing to do with her or Yang-kun, but since that would hurt their relationship too much, she did not say it aloud.
Just as Rias had said, they were childhood friends who had grown up together...
Seeing that Sona seemed to be wavering, Rias continued.
"Sona, you want Yang-kun to reincarnate successfully too, don't you? If we use my pieces, perhaps he'll succeed?"
"That... that does make sense."
Sona nodded.
Of course, she had considered the consequences of a failed reincarnation.
But according to what she had learned from textbooks, Servants reincarnated with seven or eight pieces could possess Maou-class combat power. If Yang-kun had used so many, wouldn't his potential surpass that of a Maou!?
Su Yang: To be precise, it didn't surpass Maous. It crushed the Infinite Dragon God and the Red Dragon God Emperor.
"Then let's begin! I think Yang-kun will leave an indelible mark even in the history of Devils!"
Rias proudly puffed out her chest.
Su Yang: To be precise, not just in the history of Devils, but in the history of this world and even countless worlds...
"Mm, let's do that for now."
Sona nodded. Although she felt as if something that belonged to her was being taken away, she truly did not have the ability to successfully reincarnate Su Yang herself.
More importantly, she knew what kind of person Rias's current fiancé was.
She had no desire to see her childhood friend and rival marry someone like that.
"But I have one condition." Even so, with Sona's possessiveness, there was no way she would easily hand Su Yang over.
"Mm, go ahead."
