Chapter 141: Chapter 137 - What I need
Ryuu couldn't help but smile after hearing her words. It may only ease his insecurities but it was still enough for him to keep moving forward. He took her soft hand sand while Rias realized her action and tried to make her blush.
"Anyway, care to tell me where you plan on bringing me?"
She asked turning around to hide her flustered face Ryuu could see thanks to his [ Byakugan ] and noticed energy signals that were familiar. Around the corner were Nezuko, Kie, Justine, Trese, Mitsuri, Shinobu and Kanae.
"I can't believe you all drag me into this…"
Trese said a bit annoyed that they were forcing her to spy on their lover. She was busy improving her magic and trying to raise her skills but was interrupted by the girls.
"Hey come on now, I said I'm sorry. Feel free to leave if you want."
Justine said, apologizing looking at her friend who shook her head.
"It's fine, I'm already here. Though, I seriously doubt he hadn't noticed us even with Kie's magic."
Kie was using her magic to erase their presence the best she could.
"We know but it is still fun to stalk them and see what their plans are. I do hope they get into the exciting part later."
Kanae added a bit drooling at her lewd thoughts about the two making the other girls sweatdrop.
"Nee-san, your perverted side is showing."
"You're one to talk."
Shinobu noticed that she was drooling as well but just shrugged it off pretending that it didn't happen.
"What do you think Ryuu will do?"
Mitsuri asked since there's a limited place for the two to go on a date.
"Probably somewhere quiet and simple."
Kie thought about her own preference on a date which was just looking at the sun setting and star gazing or even playing on the snow.
"They're starting to move! Ryuu's harem roll out!"
Justine said as the group went to follow the two where Ryuu took Rias into a simple park where people were running around and playing with their kites. He took out some baskets full of the food that he prepared and laid some clothes for them to sit down.
"My my, when did you make this?"
Rias took the sandwich that Ryuu handed while he took out some cans of beverages, namely some alcohol.
"Yeah, this is the Cubanos that I've been eager to make. Hope it suits your taste since I plan on selling this back at my restaurant."
Ryuu smirks despite having an endless amount of money and still enjoys working, especially in his restaurant. Rias nodded knowing that his meal would be otherworldly and took a bite instantly felt the meat just melt inside her mouth oozing with flavor. The delicious food was orgasmic.
"Damn now I'm feeling hungry…"
"It's your fault that you brought us here! This is pure torture!"
Justine and Nezuko complained seeing the food, imagining themselves eating one. The others also feel the same way.
"You know that they're watching right? Aren't you going to give them some?"
Rias said to Ryuu, having keen observation after growing stronger. She was least near an Ultimate Class.
If power Scale is compared from solo leveling verse to Draconic Deus then Low class are E to D rank, Middle are C to B rank, High are A to S rank, Ultimate are National Level Hunters to Marshal while Satan Class are Grand marshal. As for Super class then there are some factors that could determine their comparison but they are at least Monarch and Rulers.
"I know but that's for spying on us. Also don't mind them. At this moment it's just you and me, Got it?"
Ryuu said to her, patting Rias's head, making her heart flutter, feeling its warmth and genuine feelings.
"Alright, So tell me about yourself, Ryuu? You already know everything about me to the smallest detail and it's unfair I don't know much about you."
"Fair enough, what do you want to know?"
"What's your hobbies besides anime and Japanese culture?"
"Drawing and playing the flute."
"Flute?"
He smiled softly, having fond memories of it and took out a flute. Ryuu then proceeded to play some music making a soothing sound.
"Amazing! I don't expect you to be this good!"
"Shuck, you're making me blush."
The two chatted and tried to get to know each other even more. Rias started to understand why he was so appealing and appreciated how he gave his honest thoughts.
"I started to understand why the girls like you."
"Just hope you don't see me as the perfect man and casanova."
"That makes you even better."
Ryuu smiled at her words before the two finished up and headed back home to the mansion where they found the girls feeling defeated since he scolded them for following yet still made them some of the Cubanos sandwich.
"Thank you, Ryuu!"
Nezuko and Justine began to chow down on the sandwich, making him awkwardly smile.
"You know you spoil them too much."
Kie said seeing Justine and Nezuko who were demolishing the sandwich. Ryuu smiled, wrapping her arms around Kie.
"Then how about I spoil you too?"
She blushed as they all gathered around to eat the sandwich.
==========
A Week later, Ryuu were smoothly rising though the hunter guild ranking having successfully raided some dungeons with the help of his woman while also joined by Tanjiro with his two women, Kanao and Aoi who raided their own dungeon. As a side note, the Vice Guildmaster is Justine.
"So you want to contact the rulers and ask for the body of the absolute?"
Ryuu was talking to Go Gun-Hee who is currently the strongest hunter around as his vessel had completed the assimilation with the fragment.
"Yes, I'm not gonna lie, I want to absorb it and see if I can get stronger by doing so."
He said since it would be an advantage if he acquired something from the absolute being. Ryuu waited for Go Gun-Hee's response as he is still connected to the Rulers.
"They said 'Yes' as long as you're willing to be alone. "
Ryuu nodded since he can be their trump card in finally ending the conflict between the Ruler and Monarch.
"Fine by me."
"Then..."
Soon a crack appeared behind them and Go Gun-Hee explained that it led to the Rulers.
"Normally it would be impossible to enter by lower beings but since you are an anomaly then it is safe to assume you'll be fine."
Ryuu nodded and stepped inside without fear before he felt the pressure weigh down not his body but his soul. He could see that he wasn't in his physical body anymore and used [ Soul Magic ] that he had been improving ever since he acquired it and managed to reshape his soul into a more humanoid form.
"Welcome, Anomaly."
Once he finished reshaping his soul finally noticed that he was in the fantasy interior of a noble household where before him were the winged creature known as the Ruler. He couldn't help but notice how they're power was truly beyond and can easily destroy worlds that had not been exposed to mana.
They weren't surprised when they saw his soul since he was an Anomaly and they can see through his physical appearance seeing the countless monsters within him.
"Are you the Brightest fragment of Brilliant light?"
Ryuu saw the one leading the group and his power were the highest among them, glimpsing a marshall rank.
"Indeed I am and you have my gratitude for helping one of my vessels contain his immense power."
"It wasn't a problem. However, I do hope you will give me what I need."
"Yes, we haven't forgotten about it but we first want to ask. Are you certain that this is gonna be the last of our war against the monarch?"
He got the glimpse of the future from Ryuu through Go Gun-Hee and saw how the vessel of the Shadow monarch was the one who saved them all.
"I do not know, however, someone gave us the task to defeat them therefore we will not fail."
Ryuu said determined to do everything to win. The Ruler nodded seeing the side being tilted towards them.
"Then please come with us. We shall bring what you need."
