DxD.. With Some Weird A.s.s MC

Chapter 22 - The Annoying piece.

The Official Chess match between Sona and Yuuki has already started, and everyone in the room is silently but eagerly observing the moves made on the Chess board with all their focus present on it.

Both the sides have equal pressure on their shoulders as their future depends on every single step made in this single game.

Sona was playing cautiously and was trying to save her pieces as much as possible even if it was just an pawn. Where else, Yuuki's most of the important pieces were freely moving around on the Chess board, creating more and more pressure on Sona, specially the Black Queen of Yuuki who didn't leave a slight opening for Sona to attack.

Sona felt pestered by Yuuki's Queen because it was everywhere on the board, it was as if that single Black piece had the total control over the entire board right now, 'Damn this Queen, I have to take this piece out of the game as soon as possible..' thought Sona as the Queen was always present backing up the attacking force of Yuuki's army and slowly by slowly, Sona was loosing her pieces one after another.

Sweat dropped from Sona's forehead as her every single move was predicted by Yuuki even before she could initiate it, it was as if Yuuki's eyes were gazing into her mind and reading onto her plans.

During the Mock Battle, though Yuuki lost, but it was not an utter defeat. What Yuuki did was, he grasped on his opponent's move, or you can say, her way of thinking, Sona's personality clearly affected her gameplay and it could be said as also her reason to be this good at this game, since her personality is one of the best ones.. *She'll never abandon her pieces or sacrifice them if they're not providing her any profit in return, that's an mind of tactician for you.

[Wouldn't that be common sense?]

{yes it is, but it only applies to how far can the person think. One wrong step on the formation setup and it's all over.}

[O-Oh..]

{And be quiet! the games not over yet!}

[Sorry!!]

"Gulp..." 'Kaichou is loosing her pieces..' thought Saji, he didn't understood how chess worked for professionals but he can clearly see that his King was on the losing side at the moment.

The other girls from Sona's Peerage also whole heatedly prayed for thier Kaichou's victory, it was the best they could do... even if it costed them headaches in return.

Akeno didn't care of what happens now as she caring about it was not gonna change anything in the results, it all depended on the participants playing the game.

Rias nervously bit her finger nails as all of her senses was focused on the chess board, by being an Chess player herself, she very well knew of how much in a pinch Sona was right now, she just hoped for Sona to overcome this tough situation.

At the next step made by Yuuki, Sona had an clear bright smile inside her mind, 'At last the Black Queen is in my hands..'

"Checkmate."

"huh?" Sona was dumbstruck when she heard the words uttered by Yuuki, she concentrated her gaze on the chess board and saw that her King was surrounded by an Bishop, a Rook and the Queen, even if she removes the Queen from the game it'll be still an checkmate.

Sona's vision slowly went blurred and she fell back on her seat from all the stress.

"Kaichou!" Sona's Peerage exclaimed worriedly and Tsubaki immediately sprinkled some water on Sona's face, "Wake up Sona!" she anxiously called out, she had never seen her King in this condition ever before.

"I.. Lost.." Sona opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling above with an blank expression on her face, it was not because of the condition on the contract, but the fact that she lost in a game of Chess.

Rias intensely bit her lower lip as she was about to break out and cry as hard as possible, The fact that Sona lost in a Chess game was not something possible to achieve even in the Underworld.

"So.."

The word uttered by Yuuki made everyone regain back their senses in the world from all their depression.

Sona composed herself and shifted her gaze back at Yuuki with an deep exhausted sigh, "Yes, you win, now you don't have to Join Rias's Peerage and I'll be Serving under you until one of us dies." stated Sona with an firm look on her face.

Tsubaki unleashed her Naginata and her furious expression explained everything to the people present in the room, "I'm going to kill this bastard now and Set my King free from this contract!" Tsubaki's rage was clearly present in her actions.

Yuuki shook his hand, gesturing Tsubaki to sit down, "Calm down, you Idiot.." he said in an tired way.. *Why are all these people being so emotional for just an Chess game.. tch.

Tsubaki was not ready to accept Yuuki's demand but she still waited for him to utter the next words, with her Naginata still present in her hand.

"I guess you all are misunderstanding.." stated Yuuki with his eyes focused on Sona, "Prez, I never said that you'll become my slave or something by becoming my Servant."

"hm?" Sona was confused, "please elaborate."

"Ara.. Ara~ there's an twist in the story now.. Fufufu~" Akeno remarked with an silly smile on her face.

Yuuki already knew that they were misunderstanding his words from the way they reacted, "All I want is for you, I mean Prez, to protect me from the schemes of the Supernatural Society with the help of all your Powers and Authority in the Devil World, because I'm still not well known of it, and if some urgent need arises I'll ask for your help." stated Yuuki.

Sona's sharp eyes widened when she heard Yuuki's explaination, 'So all he wanted was a source of protection to protect himself.. unlike other people, he decided to gain this privilege without turning himself into a Devil.' A smile appeared on Sona's face as she somewhat understood Yuuki's way of thinking.

"I agree." Sona replied with an smile.

Yuuki was confused, "Oh.. you had to still agree to it since you're my servant.. but well, whatever.."

Sona slightly chuckled at the awkward antics of Yuuki.

Rias was now in trouble as her d.e.s.i.r.e to have Yuuki in her Peerage had turned into more difficult one.

Yuuki got up from his seat as his eyes were fixed at Sona, "Then I'll be heading back." saying this he did an slight bow and turned back at the door, he waved his hand as he walked away, "I'd like to play more chess with you, Prez."

"Sure!" Sona instantly replied in an cheerful manner, she found it very interesting to fight against Yuuki in an intense game of Chess.

..

Yuuki left the Student Council room and went on his way back to Home.

[Due to completing the Quest, Host has learned a new 'Passive Skill: ⟨Aura Detection⟩' and the other Rewards have been transferred to the system.]

[Host has acquired a new innate Trait on his Stat: Technique. Trait- «Unlimited Potential»: This trait allows Host to have proficiency in anything he does, but the effect of the learning speed depends on Host's will. If the urge is strong, then learning speed would be increased by it.]

{That's some barraging notifications.. well, at least it has a good ring to it..}

[Darling, do you want to acquire the innate trait on your 'stat: Agility'?]

{Sure, you can start the process.}

[Good. and you've also acc.u.mulated a lot of stat points, I suggest utilizing some of them as it'll take a huge toll on your body if you, by any chance, use all of them at once.]

{Alright.. I'll see to it after reaching home.}

*hm.. what's that?

Yuuki saw an girl tripped over on the side of road and flashing her white p.a.n.t.i.e.s under the nun Uniform she's wearing.

"Hey, are you fine?" Yuuki walked over to the girl.

The girl looked like an foreigner as she had yellow blonde hairs and white fair skin, she also seems to be affiliated with Church from the way she's dressed.

The Girl looked at Yuuki with an fl.u.s.tered face and grabbed his hand which was offered to her for support, "T-Thank you."

Looking closely at the girl, Yuuki noticed she had emerald green eyes and a beautiful but also cute face, "It's alright." he replied with an smile, "So then.."

As Yuuki was about to leave, "Um.. I.." the girl called out in a shy manner.

Yuuki turned back at the girl and looked at her with an question marked face, gesturing her to speak for what she wants now.

The girl embarrassingly tapped her both index finger near her chin, "I got lost and need help."

"Fine.." Yuuki replied, "Where do you want to go? I'll see if I can show you the way."

The Girl nodded happily as the handsome boy infront of her agreed to help, "I'm going to the Church of this Town, But I don't know the way." she stated.

"Alright, follow me." Yuuki gestured and started walking the way towards the Church of this town.

The girl merrily followed behind Yuuki after carrying her luggage.

As they walked, Yuuki noticed that the girl was struggling in holding her luggage suitcase, "Give me that." said Yuuki as he pointed at the luggage in the girl's hand, "I'll carry it till I show you the way."

The girl was happy that Yuuki offered her the help, "Then let me please carry your backpack, I can handle the weight of it." she replied, the girl knew that holding two bags at the same time would be hard for Yuuki.

Yuuki handed his bag to the girl and she did the same.

"So.. are you on a trip here?" asked Yuuki as he was curious and also getting bored.

"Oh, no." the girl shook her head in response as she answered, "I am appointed to this town's Church."

"That explains the look.." murmured Yuuki as looked ahead of him while walking.

The girl had a blush on her face, "I'm so glad I met such a nice person like you." she mumbled to herself and looked at Yuuki's face, "It must've been divine guidance." she stated with an bright smile.

[No girl.. you're mistaking, he's not in the least good, and also there was no divine guidance.]

{Huh?! did yaa say something?}

[N-No.]

Suddenly the girl walked by herself to the side and the next moment Yuuki saw her using some sort of magic to heal an kid's wound on his knee, just in a few seconds the wound had recovered completely without an scratch of it left.

"Look, your wounds all gone!" the girl cheered up the kid, "It's all right now."

The girl shifted her gaze at Yuuki and stuck out her tongue, "Sorry, it's an force of habit." she apologized for acting on her own.

Yuuki didn't mind it and walked ahead to show the way, the girl also followed him and walked beside him.

|Yuuki- I sensed the use of Holy magic or something like that.

|Ddraig- no, it was not Holy magic but was converted into one by her prayers, I'm pretty sure the girl possesss a healing type of Sacred Gear.

|Yuuki- oh.. so the magic affinity can be controlled like this.

|Ddraig- it's not as easy as you think, the girl might really be holding the Bible God with high dignity in her mind to be able to radiate Holy energy, even if it was just an small amount.

|Yuuki- maybe because she's an Human?

|Ddraig- I think the same.

|Yuuki- I think she'll be safe if she's with the Church. Well, as if I care about what happens to her..

"Are you thinking about the previous incident?" the girl said as she looked at Yuuki.

"Something like that.. so, you can say, yes, I am." replied Yuuki by looking back at her, "Well, you have a pretty amazing power, especially when you're a nun."

The girl nodded, "Yes, it's a wonderful power granted by God." she replied with an smile which was next foreshadowed by an gloomy look, "Yes, a wonderful power..." she murmured to herself.

Yuuki knew something might've happened to her because of this power of hers, but it's non of his business, "Look, that's the Church of this town, though I've heard it's mostly abandoned." Said Yuuki as he pointed out at the church which was near the mountain side of the town.

The girl looked at the Church and regained back her cheerfulness, she looked at Yuuki with an smile, "My name is Asia Argento, please call me Asia!" she introduced herself.

Yuuki nodded in acknowledgement, "Well, then I am Yuuki Hyoudo, and call me Yuuki without hesitation when we visit sometime."

"Yuuki San." Asia called out, "I'm so happy to have met someone as kind as you this quickly after arriving in Japan!"

[ugh... kind, yes, Kinda Kind.]

Yuuki patted Asia's head as he found her very adorable, "Oh.. you're just exaggerating it."

Asia was embarrassed when she was getting patted by Yuuki, "I'd like to return the favor, so would you like to accompany me?" she asked Yuuki with an shy smile.

"Sometime later, I've got things to do." replied Yuuki, he didn't mind going with her but it would seem too much at this moment.

"Then please promise me to visit the Church sometime soon!" the girl named Aisa asked Cheerfully.

"Sure, I will." replied Yuuki and exchanged their Bags with each other.

After this, both of them parted to their own ways as Asia went to the Church and Yuuki went back to his way Home.
