DXD : Ray Gremory

"Hello my Queen, I came home early. .

. Should I come back later?"

She bolted up out of the bed, like she was not doing anything with the abandoned pillow or her right hand, and her eyes looked tear filled as her face was as crimson as my hair.

"I-I was just sleeping, and, and had a strange dream. .

. I-I will go now, and get ready.

. .

"

And as she bolted for her room with her Queen speed, she stopped and ran back to the nightstand, picked up a letter, and came to me reluctantly, looking at the smartphone in my hand. I said to her,

"Just calm down Tsubaki, I am deleting the pictures right now. And thanks for looking after my room.

"

Tsk! Both of us clearly heard the dissatisfied click of a tongue from the cracked door, clearly from Shirone, when she heard I was deleting the pictures.

Tsubaki closed her eyes in despair, knowing the others saw or heard her disgraceful fantasy play.

Taking the letter, I leaned in and gave her a kiss on her lips, bringing her back to her senses, and she said to me pitifully.

"I will accept any punishment you deem fit for embarrassing my King. "

"Actually, I thought it was adorable, so just go and get ready for the day, we will have lunch together. "

Tsubaki bows and fled to her room, but I did give her a playful joke as her door shut.

"Love your shirt by the way, ha-ha. "

I then look to the other door and say.

"The joke is over girls, time to give up. "

Then the door opened and Akeno, Shirone, Ni, Li, and Kuisha came out. Kuisha was smiling and said.

"That was too cute to stop, fufu. "

Soon, all of the girls came to me one by one, to get kisses and hugs, then we sat on my couches in my room. Tsubaki even joined us with only a small blush and a few teases from the others.

-

A while later, I was reading the official letter from The Rating Game Committee, and my expression was all over the place confusing my Peerage.

Shirone with her head in my lap, looked up at me and asked.

"Ray, are they making us have a Rating Game early?"

I shook my head and held up the letter for the girls to see.

"It is not a rating game, but at the end of May, there will be a battle royal with all past losers of Sona's chess games, to determine her fiance with a Battle Royal in a Rating Game Field. Last Devil Standing, walks away with the hand of Sona Sitri.

"

Akeno tilted her head and asked me.

"But you're already married to sister Kuisha? So why did you get a formal letter. "

Kuisha took the letter and was reading it. She raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"All Devil men that challenged, even if now married after their challenge, may attempt to even marry Sona as a 2nd wife. So Ray can technically participate, but that is not the issue here, it is even worse.

. .

"

Tsubaki asked her.

"How is it worse?"

Kuisha held up the letter and said it clearly.

"The judges and complaining participants put restrictions on Ray. .

. First, he is forbidden from using any form of Power of Destruction.

Second, he is not allowed to bring the allotted 1 Phoenix Tears every participant is allowed to bring and use once. Ray is the only participant to be restricted like that.

"

Ni nodded and said.

"And in a Battle Royal, other Devils will team up on Ray ~Nya!"

Li said or asked.

"Does Ray have to join ~Nya?"

Kuisha shook her head and explained the shit part.

"No, Ray does not have to join the event at all, but. .

. If he does not join, some Devils Ray does not like will have a strong chance of becoming Sona's husband, including.

. .

Riser Phenex, Sairaorg Bael, Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas, Diodora Astaroth, and many more atrocious Devils. "

Akeno asked.

"Why did Ray's cousin join?"

Kuisha explained.

"He played Chess with her as a backup, if his fiance had dumped him for not being the Heir, but after he secured his Heir-ship, the woman didn't break it off. Even though Sairaorg does not intend to break his engagement, the rules still allow him to participate.

. .

And knowing Sairaorg, he just wants to flex his muscles and test his strength. "

Shirone moved for Kuisha who sat next to me. I was only looking blankly staring out the window in deep-thought.

She took my hand and asked.

"I think you should do it, but what do you want to do Ray?"

"With my position as the next Heir of Gremory, I need to ask my Mother, Father, and Brother what is right. I cannot just go in and cause trouble.

So I will go and call them privately first. Kuisha, as my wife, you need to be there.

"

"Alright girls, go and get ready for lunch, Ray and I will make a call first. .

. "

As the girls left, I was in turmoil about this event. .

.

I avoided messing with Riser, and am I fated to fight him? Does Fate wish for him to get beaten up or something?

And what the fuck. .

. I have to fight Sairaorg? Lastly, does Diodora Astaroth have Ouroboros Dragon, Ophis Snake in him yet at this point in time?

"Why do I feel that Sona is behind this event?"

Kuisha pretended to not hear my words. But how did the whole Chess thing diverge from the main plot of the anime just because I suggested it instead of Sona making it? Well, let me see what my family has to say about it.

On the coffee-table in front of me and Kuisha, I have a projection of my Mother and Father.
