"Miss Moonlit, stop joking. The renowned Blood Moon Princess is coming to study in a place like this? Do you even believe it yourself?"
Chapter 54: A Mutual Pursuit (4K)
"What Blood Moon Princess? You must have the wrong person!"
Slightly stunned, Miss Moonlit looked utterly bewildered.
She had never heard that title before, it was the first time.
It just felt so chuunibyo!
"..."
Looking at Miss Moonlit's eyes, Rias doubted for a moment if she had made a mistake, and if the girl before her wasn't the Vampire lady they thought she was.
But she quickly dismissed the thought. The girl before her was that Super Chainsaw Person.
"Classmate Moonlit, there's no need to keep hiding it. With what you did in Europe and America, you don't think you can keep it a secret, do you?"
"Want to see?"
As she spoke, Rias took out a piece of intelligence and handed it to the Vampire lady before her.
Rias was so open and even directly revealed her identity to this dangerous Vampire girl because she had confidence.
Beside her, a Demon King Class existence was watching her at all times.
"..."
Moonlit took the documents Rias handed over, glanced at them briefly, and then her expression turned strange.
They were almost entirely about her, mainly detailing past deeds and speculating about her abilities. What made her unable to hold back and feel so awkward she could dig her toes into the ground were the titles used for her.
Because they didn't know her name, various strange and chuunibyo-like titles made her scalp tingle.
Blood Moon Princess was definitely the best-sounding one. Others like Chainsaw Person, Chainsaw Corpse Ripper, Blood Demon...
Looking at them made Moonlit want to kill someone.
"Are you demons all this idle? Or have you become obsessed with the chuunibyo culture of Island Nations, what kind of ridiculous titles are these?"
"Can you tell me who gave me these messy titles? Don't worry, I just want to have a chat with them!"
Unconsciously flipping through the documents, Moonlit's eyes flickered as she looked at Rias, her expression a mixture of helplessness and annoyance.
"Uh! I don't know who exactly gave them, it's all from a long time ago. No one ever paid attention to it..."
Rias hadn't expected Moonlit to care so much about these things. But she genuinely didn't know who came up with the titles; people just used them because they felt appropriate.
Not to mention the others, Blood Moon Princess still sounded quite nice, didn't it?
"I understand. Then, Classmate Rias, you brought me here to find out my purpose for coming to Kuoh Academy?"
Seeing this, Moonlit realized that finding the people who gave her those random titles in the first place wouldn't be easy, and even if she found them, it wouldn't change anything.
Unless she found that future Sacred Gear and directly altered the course of history, changing events that happened before her appearance.
But that Sacred Gear was not something she could access yet, much like Gasper's Sacred Gear, it hadn't fully manifested.
"That's only one reason. I just wanted to confirm that you, Classmate Moonlit, won't endanger Kuoh Academy. Your purpose isn't that important."
"Also, I wanted to ask... Classmate Moonlit, would you consider becoming my Servant? As long as you agree, I can try my best to satisfy any needs you have!"
"I haven't introduced myself yet, I am..."
Rias introduced her true identity to Moonlit, not hiding her intentions at all.
Ever since she learned that Moonlit had fought a Fallen Angel Cadre and emerged unharmed, she had become even more eager to recruit her to her team.
With the addition of the Blood Moon Princess, when the Rating Game started, that turkey wouldn't be anything!
"!!!"
Upon hearing Rias's words, Moonlit's expression was incredibly surprised.
Good heavens, her thoughts were the same as hers.
She wanted to make Rias her Servant, and Rias also wanted to take her as a Servant. This situation, this situation was truly a mutual pursuit!
However, they both wanted to be the other's master.
"How about it? Classmate Moonlit, you can take your time to consider it!"
Rias looked at Moonlit with sincerity, truly wanting her to join her, even willing to pay a certain price. However, she also knew that such a decision couldn't be made in a moment.
Becoming a Servant, reincarnating as a devil...
Such things required careful consideration, after all, Moonlit wasn't like her other Servants; she had no worries holding her back.
However, Moonlit spoke directly: "No need to consider."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Rias became incredibly anxious. Was she rejected? Or did she accept?
"Classmate Rias, didn't you want to know my purpose for being here? It's actually very simple. My purpose is you."
"What do you mean? Me?"
Rias was stunned, she hadn't expected such an answer.
Could it be that this Blood Moon Princess likes girls?
She likes me?!!
This...
If that were the case, Rias felt a bit conflicted, as she didn't have that kind of interest.
However, looking at the young girl before her, whose appearance and figure were no less than her own, and perhaps even more charming, she found herself not entirely resistant.
If she agreed to become my servant, it wouldn't be impossible to try something.
But in the next second, Moonlit's words shattered these thoughts.
"What I want is the same as yours, Rias... Become my servant!"
Smiling slightly, Miss Moonlit revealed her cute vampire fangs.
It was then that Rias finally understood. This vampire girl actually wanted her to become her servant.
"Impossible!!"
Rias took a step back, refusing without hesitation.
As the sister of a Demon King and a pure-blooded high-ranking Demon, how could she possibly become someone else's servant? That would be a disgrace to the Gremory Family.
Even if Rias herself agreed, her family, her parents, and her brother would certainly not allow it.
"What a shame!"
"I'm different from other so-called vampires. If you become my servant, you'll gain the power of ageless and undying!"
Moonlit continued speaking.
Having fully integrated the Sacred Gear "Sephiroths Cup," combined with Moonlit's original power system, her servants, as long as they weren't killed by specific powers, could be immediately resurrected even if they died.
"Ageless and undying..."
Rias thought again of her fiancé, the one from the Phoenix family. Their so-called immortality was merely a certain degree of resurrection, not true immortality.
However, for a vampire to possess such a trait was indeed surprising! It was a pity that she absolutely could not become someone else's servant.
Afterward, the two chatted for quite a while, but neither Rias nor Moonlit was willing to become the other's servant. Instead, they both tried to make the other their servant.
As a result, nothing was settled.
However, it seemed that neither Rias nor Moonlit had given up. Especially Moonlit, she didn't seem worried about failing, believing Rias would agree soon enough.
Watching Moonlit's retreating back, Rias finally asked the empty space, "Grayfia, what do you think?"
A magic circle appeared beside Rias, and a woman with long silver hair materialized out of thin air.
Although the woman was wearing a maid outfit, her aura was powerful, indicating she was no ordinary person.
And indeed, while she now always appeared as a maid of the Gremory household, most who knew of her were fearful.
She was Grayfia Lucifugus, known as the strongest Queen of the Underworld, the Silver-Haired Annihilation Queen.
She hailed from the Lucifugus, an unofficial noble demon family that had served Lucifer for generations.
As a member of the Old Satan Faction, she fought against the Reformists and vied for the position of strongest female demon with Demon King Serafall. However, on the battlefield, she fell in love with the Reformist hero, Sirzechs Gremory (the current Demon King Lucifer).
After overcoming countless trials, they finally united, their love story becoming a legend in the Underworld.
"She's very strong..."
Grayfia's expression was serious upon her appearance. She hadn't expected to meet such a person here.
"Is she stronger than you?"
Upon hearing this, Rias frowned. Even Grayfia thinks so? My sister-in-law has the strength of a top-tier Demon King, not much weaker than my brother...
"It's hard to say, but she definitely possesses strength beyond that of an ordinary Demon King Class."
Grayfia wasn't sure without having fought her.
But she was certain that this vampire was capable of threatening most Demon King Class beings.
"Young Lady, it will likely be difficult to take her as a servant!"
Looking at her husband's sister, Grayfia treated her like a younger sister. However, the engagement had caused Rias to harbor resentment towards both her brother and Grayfia.
She understood Rias's feelings, but subduing this vampire was too dangerous.
"Difficult doesn't mean impossible, right? By the way, is what she said about ageless and undying true? Do vampires have such power?"
Rias was somewhat curious.
"...I don't know. I suspect she might not be a vampire at all."
After a few seconds of silence, Grayfia spoke. With her discernment, she couldn't even determine the race of this supposed vampire. She looked like a vampire, but also seemed not to be.
After thinking for a moment, Grayfia added, "Furthermore, she possesses more than one Sacred Gear."
"She possesses more than one Sacred Gear?"
As expected of the one I've taken an interest in! Rias wanted her even more now!
"The one hidden beside Rias should be her sister-in-law, Grayfia Lucifugus! As expected of a Queen who rivals that Demon King, her strength is indeed formidable."
Leaving Rias, Miss Moonlit reflected on the individual she had sensed beside Rias earlier.
That person was definitely Demon King Class in terms of strength, possibly even a Super Demon King. No wonder Rias felt it was dangerous but still dared to call her aside alone.
Facing such an existence, Miss Moonlit couldn't be absolutely sure she could win. However, with her skills, she could fight and escape safely, so she wasn't overly afraid.
Speaking of which, Grayfia was also one of her bounty targets.
An S-class bounty; turning her into a Vampire would also yield a considerable amount of Crystals.
It was a shame she didn't have a ten-tenths certainty right now.
If she were SS-class, it would be no problem at all. Or perhaps developing more Servants; a large number of Servants could bring her a huge boost.
But that would just bring her back to the initial situation; she didn't want to develop Servants carelessly!
"Huh!"
Without realizing it, Miss Moonlit found herself at the school's tennis club.
"Is there something you need, student?"
"Are you here to join the tennis club?"
Noticing Miss Moonlit's arrival, several students from the tennis club approached and asked curiously. Some who recognized Miss Moonlit directly and enthusiastically asked if she wanted to join the club.
Because Kuoh Academy was formerly an all-girls school, some outstanding girls were quite popular among the female students. For a beauty like Miss Moonlit, who could rival Rias, many were quite enthusiastic.
"Sorry to bother you! I'd like to ask if President Abe is here?"
Miss Moonlit was very polite to the girls from the tennis club. The girls here weren't lacking in the figure department! Especially in their specialized tennis attire, which perfectly showcased their slender waists.
It seemed like joining such a club wouldn't be bad either.
