Chapter 26 – Warning towards the Devils
After some time, both of them were exiting the room and got ready to go to school.
Right now, we were walking to the school with me in the middle while Kuroka on my left and Tsura on my right.
“So, what happened earlier?” I asked Tsura and Kuroka while having a curious expression.
“W-well, it was sort of my fault nya…” Said Kuroka while averting her gaze to the left.
‘Hoo? Kuroka’s fault, was it?’ I become more curious about what happened earlier.
When I slept last night, they were just fine and this morning for some reason Tsura was a bit angry? towards Kuroka.
“That’s definitely her fault. There was no way I would sleep while naked like that!” On my right, Tsura raised her voice while her face turned red in embarrassment.
‘So that’s what’s going on! Kuroka removed Tsura’s clothes while she was sleeping. I see, in that case, I can’t blame her for being angry at Kuroka.’
I turned at Kuroka and said. “Is there any explanation for that, Kuroka?”
Kuroka looked at me with a serious face and said. “None nya! What’s wrong with sleeping naked in the same bed as our lover nya! Tsura was just being shy, that’s all, Riku-sama!”
I nodded my head at her explanation and turned to Tsura this time.
“Anything you wanted to add, Tsura?”
Tsura lowered her head and muttered. “… it was embarrassing…”
With a smile on my face, I turned to Kuroka and gave her a thumb up. Seeing my smile, Kuroka smiled and give me a thumb up back.
After that we laughed together, ignoring Tsura that was grunted in embarrassment.

We have arrived at school, and to my surprise, Sona and Rias were waiting for us in front of the gate.
When they saw us, Sona approached us first, followed by Rias that walk behind her with a complicated expression. She looked guilty, or rather, scared?
I was confused and tilted my head a little as Sona stopped in front of us and suddenly bowed at me.
“Please forgive our behavior the other day, it was our fault that our peerage’s member offended you.”
Rias also followed Sona and bowed to me albeit rather unwilling.
This is… rather bad, isn’t it? We are in public and almost all students saw the Student council president and Rias bowed to me.
I poked Kuroka with my shoulder and she immediately put a barrier to make the public see an illusion when they saw us. After the barrier was set, I looked at Sona and Rias.
“So you do know who am I? That’s good. You can raise your head you know?”
Sona and Rias raised their head as Sona said. “Yes, we do. Nura Riku, the son of Nurarihyon. But we know too late, and it was thanks to our meeting 2 days ago.”
I slowly transformed into my youkai form and looked down at Sona and Rias as I was taller than them in my youkai form. With a lower tone and serious face, I stared at them and says.
“Then you do know, that I will watch over the devils. I will do what I think is best for my faction, I don’t care about your problem with the church, or even reincarnating a girl from the church as your follower. But, I won’t allow any forced reincarnation to humans in Kuoh Town. I was sent to prevent that, are you clear? This town was only lent to you, not given. This is still my faction’s territory, a youkai territory.”
I called on my fear and a black cloud of smoke surround my body, amplifying my intimidation at them.
Sona nodded her head and said. “Yes, we are informed by Lucifer-sama regarding that.”
Rias on the other hand nodded in fear. It seems that she understood that my words were directed at her. Two days ago, I just show them a hint that I was a young master from a youkai faction, now I will clearly state to them who I really am.
“Good, if you understand my warning. What happened to Issei was something that I usually loathe. No matter how I act, no matter how much I love pranks, and how much I love playing around. I will tell you something. If I know, or heard something regarding devils or concerning devils happening in this town, I will surely take compensation from your faction. That’s the agreement between Lady Amaterasu and your leader.”
“I am clear. A letter was sent from the Underworld regarding that. Unfortunately, it was late.” Said Sona to me.
I erased my fear, turned back to my human form, and smiled. “Then that’s fine. Oh, 2 more things that I wanted to say.”
As I said that, I raised my index finger near my face. “First, rein Hyoudou Issei away from my girls, if I saw him peeping on Kuroka or Tsura, I will beat him without any second thought. Maybe in anger, I would beat him too far that he would die from it, so I hope you can stop him. Also, expel his perverted friends.”
‘Well, even if I didn’t beat him, Tsura would freeze him to death.’ I thought as I imagined the scene where Tsura froze Issei to death in my head.
Sona has a bitter expression as she nodded her head, but Rias has an outburst after I said that I would beat Issei to death.
She looked at me in anger and shouted.
“Hey! Even if you are a son of East Youkai Faction’s leader, who gave you permission to beat my cute pawn to dead?!”
“Rias!” Shouted Sona as she tried to stop Rias.
Fortunately, Rias stopped at that and gritted her teeth as she looked at me.
I let out a sigh because of Rias’s behavior.
“Look, I don’t hate him or something. I am a youkai that loves pranks, but I am also a youkai that was easy to anger. I am protective of my friend and family. You would also do the same thing if your family was in danger, no?”
Because I know that Rias was protective (lol) towards her peerage, I choose to tell her something that would make her shut up for good. And it worked as Rias stopped gritting her teeth and answered me with a low “Yeah…”
“The second matter though, if anyone ever wanted to leave your peerage, you would allow it. Do you understand?”
Sona immediately nodded her head as she says. "That's natural."
As Rias knows she has no way to refute me because I said that ‘If anyone wanted’, she just nodded her head weakly.
If by chance she won’t allow it, I could always force my way to help. As long as that someone pays me with something equivalent.
“I will, but they would die if the evil piece was removed from their body. You do know that right?”
I just waved my hand and smiled. “Ah, that thing? I have my way so don’t worry about it.”
‘Telos Karma would definitely allow me to remove the evil pieces without harming the host.’
“Then our matter is done?” I asked Sona which she answered with “Yes.”
I nodded at her and asked Kuroka to remove the barrier. The students around us were watching us and maybe they are wondering what happened here.
I quickly put my act and said.
“Well then, Kaichou. We will go to our class.”
As a girl that was confident with her intelligence, Sona quickly followed my act by saying. “Very well, Nura. I hope you enjoy attending our school.”
“Yes, well then, goodbye~”
We started walking towards our class as Sona and Rias followed us with their gaze.
‘Now that I clearly stated my position, I could do anything I want. The devils would also be careful on their move as they know that I am watching them. Well, I just let Asia die 2 days ago just because I was ordered to not intrude on their war though. After the peace conference, I could go wild as much as I want.’
