âWu wu wu⌠Odin-Sama is so outrageous! How could he abandon me, wu wu wuâŚâ In the Kamiya Familyâs living room, the pitiful Valkyrie Rossweisse wiped away her tears in sorrow.
After the meeting of the gods, Odin, the old man, returned to the Nordic Mythology camp, but Rossweisse was left behind. No, to be precise, she was fired!
âRossweisse, my dear, you are an excellent woman of war, but staying by this old manâs side is a waste of your youth and talent,â Odin had said when he left. âSo, from now on, you are free to pursue your dreams and life!â
Recalling those words from Odin, Rossweisse couldnât help clenching her fists in anger. What does he mean by wasting my youth and talent? What does he know about the efforts I put into this job?!
âAlright, alright, Rossweisse-San, we have arranged a job for you at school. Donât be sad anymore,â Rias comforted her while patting Rossweisseâs shoulder.
âWu wu⌠Really?â
âYes, we have arranged it according to your expectations. But Rossweisse-San, do you really want to be a teacher instead of a student? Youâre about the same age as us, right?â
âDonât judge me by my appearance. I skipped grades and finished school in my home country. Although Iâm still young, I can be a great teacher!â Rossweisse replied confidently. However, the reality of being fired weighed heavily on her, making Valkyrie feel even more downcast.
âSince Rossweisse-San has decided to stay here and develop, how about taking a look at this?â Rias handed her a stack of documents with a sly smile on her face. As Rossweisse finished reading the documents, her expression turned incredulous.
âNo⌠No way! The insurance payout is so high, and the basic salary is completely different. Can devils really make this much money?â
âHehehe⌠Not only that but if Rossweisse-San joins our Underworld and becomes a member of the Gremory family as my Peerage, there are even more special benefits!â Rias teased.
âOh my! I canât believeâŚâ
The living room echoed with Rossweisseâs astonished exclamations, while Tenraku and the other girls smiled and watched Riasâ performance.
Poor Rossweisse, as the personal guard of the God King Odin, she should have been a white-collar professional. However, after seeing the benefits Rias offered, she realized just how stingy that old Odin was!
Unable to refuse such treatment and benefits, and considering that it was the despicable Odin himself who had fired her, she didnât think anyone would object to her joining the Underworld. Thus, under the influence of Riasâ sweet words, Rossweisse agreed to become Riasâ Peerage.
âWelcome to our team, Rossweisse,â Rias said with a beaming smile as she handed Rossweisse a Rook piece. Their address to each other became more intimate.
Rossweisse was an excellent soldier from Nordic Mythology, and if it werenât for the agreement between Tenraku and Odin, it would have been difficult for her to become such an outstanding member of Riasâ Peerage.
âWell then, everyone, please take care of me from now on,â Rossweisse said as she accepted the Devil piece and integrated it into her body. With a dazzling light, Rossweisse transformed into a reincarnated Devil, growing a pair of Devil wings on her back.
As a high-ranking Valkyrie, she was suitable to be used as a mobile artillery with the attributes of a Rook. Just imagining Rossweisse firing magic pulse cannons in battle made even Tenraku feel excited!
Having fought together before and now becoming Riasâ Peerage, the girls in the house welcomed Rossweisseâs addition. And to facilitate future actions together, Rossweisse naturally moved into the Kamiya Familyâs residence.
âRias, can I be your Peerage too, meow?â Suddenly, Kurokaâs voice rang out from the side. Tenraku and the girls couldnât help but turn their gaze toward Kuroka, who was lazily reclining on the sofa, while Ni and Li attentively massaged her shoulders and legs.
These two silly and adorable Nekomata had completely become Kurokaâs devoted little sisters, admiring and idolizing her. Tenraku allowed it because Kuroka had indeed taught them many techniques.
âKuroka, are you serious?â Rias asked, furrowing her eyebrows.
âIâm serious, meow. Since Shirone is already your Peerage, I might as well become your Peerage too,â Kuroka replied lazily, finding a comfortable position.
âOf course, if you donât want to, then forget I said anything, meow,â She added.
âIâm willing, of course. However, I only have a ăPawnă piece left,â Rias smiled faintly, not refusing such a good opportunity.
In terms of strength alone, Kuroka would definitely rank among the top three in this household. Even Rias herself, without using the power of the Red Dragon Emperor, wasnât confident in winning against her.
Although this woman had a dark past, there was no doubt that she loved Koneko, and through their time together, Rias had come to trust her.
âăPawnă is ăPawnă, I donât mind, meow. Letâs form a contract now,â Kuroka replied indifferently as she sat up.
Kuroka excelled in various monster techniques, immortal techniques, magic, and even physical combat. She belonged to the versatile type, and the influence of the pieceâs attributes on her wasnât significant.
Moreover, although the ăPawnă piece was the weakest in its normal state, once it entered the enemyâs camp and reached a Kingâs judgment, it could promote to ăBishopă, ăKnightă, ăRookă, or even ăQueenă. It was like a bug that could surpass any piece except the King.
Since both sides had no objections, Rias didnât say much either. She took out the ăPawnă piece and formed a contract with Kuroka.
Kuroka had a high level and possessed formidable strength. She also had the Bloodline of the Nekoshou clan. It took Rias four pieces to successfully convert her into her own Peerage.
âPlease take care of me in the future, meow, my King,â Kuroka said with a smile, adjusting to the changes in her body.
âYes, please take care of me too, Kuroka,â Rias replied.
With the addition of two powerful Peerage members, Rias was extremely delighted. Now, considering the lineup of her Peerage alone, she surpassed both Tenraku and Sona!
âNow youâre happy, right, Shirone?â Kuroka chuckled as she gently stroked Koneko-Chanâs forehead.
âYes, Nee- Sama,â Koneko nodded vigorously with her face beaming with happinessâŚ
