Chapter 79: Chapter 78 Heartthrob of Raiden Mei.
Kiana looked at picture sent by Rayne in amazement.
"This is Rayne?! He's so pretty! And… why does he looked so grown up? Isn't he only twelve now?" Kiana muttered under her breath.
Her blue eyes looked at the absurdly handsome young man in the photo, and noticed some similar traits between them.
Such as white hair and blue eyes.
Curious, Raiden Mei also took a glance at the photo. She was still interested in how her 'benefactor' looks like.
As soon as she saw the picture, an electric current seemed to pass through her body.
Raiden Mei's heart started beating at an abnormal speed. Her face flushed red, and her breathing quickened.
A strange, unfamiliar emotion surged through her heart.
She had never felt like this before.
As the sole daughter of Raiden Ryoma, and one of, if not, the wealthiest family in Nagazora city, she has seen a fair number of good looking men during gatherings and other events among the rich.
But none of them can even remotely compare to the white haired young man in the picture held by Kiana.
Snow-like white hair. Even his eyebrows and eyelashes were white, almost like the legendary snow woman (Yuki Onna) in urban myths, incomparably beautiful and ethereal. His skin had a healthy white color, and his vibrant blue eyes seemed have an inexplicable attraction to others.
His physique, not too muscular, but not that lean either.
Especially, the white hair and blue eyes of the young man seemed to enhance his attractiveness to Raiden Mei.
She couldn't take her eyes of the picture.
The lovely Kiana was unaware of the strangeness of her friend beside her. Her blue eyes looked at the picture of Rayne, with curiosity and amazement.
Though, she didn't have any strange emotions like her purple haired friend next to her.
"Rayne has the same hair and eye color as me. No... his eyes seems different from mine? He's so pretty. It would've been nice if Rayne was a beautiful girl..."
Kiana muttered as she looked closely at the picture.
Hearing her white haired friend's muttering, Raiden Mei's eyes lit up.
'So his name is Rayne?'
Thought Raiden Mei, though, she tactfully ignored Kiana's not-so-normal last sentence.
Raiden Mei took a deep breath to calm her flustered emotions.
"Kiana-chan, is this person the one you've been mentioning since yesterday?" Raiden Mei asked lightly.
"Hm? Yeah! He's the one! He sends me delicious food everyday! He's my best friend, just like you, Mei!"
Kiana nodded, then cheerfully responded. Her attention also diverted from the photo.
"He can cook too? So the food you've been sharing with me for a month comes from this person?"
Raiden Mei mumbled, then her eyes lit up. Her good impression of this unfamiliar white haired young man increased a bit more.
This is the first time she felt this way towards a man.
She was already full of gratitude towards Rayne, because the food he had given to her via Kiana, had a special effect that got rid of all her physical and mental fatigue and allowed her a peaceful sleep for the past month.
This meant a lot to her, because prior to this month and her acquaintance to Kiana,
For the past two months or so, she had been facing school bullying, insults, isolation and many more problems. All of this was pushing her to the brink of collapse. Her life for a few months prior to meeting Kiana was like being shrouded in darkness.
So, to Raiden Mei, Kiana and Rayne, who helped her through her white-haired friend, was like a ray of light that liberated her from the darkness.
And Rayne's male identify and his god-like looks had a great effect on Raiden Mei.
Before, this emotion was held back as she had heard from Kiana that, Rayne was just six years old.
But now...
As for why she doesn't have the same feeling for Kiana?
Please! Her sexual orientation is still pretty normal.
If Rayne didn't exist, it would've been possible in the future.
'He seems to be only twelve now and I'm almost sixteen in a few months. It's okay! The age gap between us is still manageable!'
Thought Raiden Mei with a flushed face.
She felt a bit sinful as she is feeling this way towards someone who is almost four years younger than her.
But she thinks it's ok.
Anyway, they both fall under the underage category! So it's fine?
'Of course, we'll get into a relationship when we'll be of legal age! Before that, I'll try to improve our relationship by cooking together, going on dates, shopping, watching movies together, visiting other cities and more.'
'I'll be like an onee-san to him! Sister-brother relationship?! How sinful!'
Raiden Mei was caught in a bit of an imagination fantasy.
Because it was her first time feeling this emotion, she had no intention of denying it.
Suddenly, she came to her senses when she thought of a certain problem.
"Kiana, this boy... He's from another world?"
"Yeah!"
Although unsure why her new friend asked such a question, Kiana still responded truthfully.
Hearing this, Raiden Mei's eyes dimmed a bit.
Yes, the boy is from a different world.
Then she hopefully asked in a low voice.
"Kiana-chan, can he... Can those friends of yours ever come to this world?"
"Does Mei also want to meet them?!"
Kiana asked in an excited tone, feeling happy that her best friend in this world wants to meet her other friends.
Unaware of the strange emotions brewing in her purple-haired best friend's heart, Kiana said with a happy smile.
"The group chat thing said it is possible! Although I don't know when, it should be soon!"
Hearing this, Raiden Mei's eyes lit up again and a smile appeared on her cherry lips.
"Mei, are you also excited to meet my friends?"
Seeing Raiden Mei's happy smile, Kiana asked with a silly smile of her own.
"Yes..."
Raiden Mei caught a glance of the picture of Rayne in Kiana's hand.
For the first time since she met Kiana, Raiden Mei did something that was very unlike her.
She took advantage of Kiana's affection for her, on her own initiative.
"Kiana-chan, is that photo important to you?"
"It's not that important! But Rayne gave it to me after all."
"How about I keep it for you, Kiana-chan?"
"Ok!"
Kiana immediately handed it over to Mei, regardless of the fact that she had an inventory function of the Group chat system.
She likes Raiden Mei very much and will try to do everything to make her happy.
Unfortunately, she didn't know the significance of her actions this time.
In the near future, those happy blue eyes would be shedding an unknown amount of tears.
It would truly be a spectacle!
...
DxD world.
Underworld, Leviathan Devil Mansion.
Similar to Kiana, Serafall also retrieved the photo sent by Rayne.
Seeing the ridiculously handsome and beautiful white-haired blue-eyed young man, even someone like Serafall was amazed.
"This is Rayne? He's so handsome, it's god-like. Are humans even supposed to have this much attractiveness?"
"He can make even the most handsome devil look inferior."
Serafall muttered in a daze, in a tone different from her deliberately enthusiastic tone.
After a few moments, she came to her senses.
She sighed lightly and placed the photo on the table.
At this time, a magic circle suddenly lit up in the room.
Serafall glanced at it and recognized it as a teleportation spell.
Feeling a familiar magic presence from the spell, Serafall didn't take any action.
As the teleportation spell lit up, a woman had appeared in the room.
What appeared was a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous body, appearing to be in her early twenties with back-length silver hair that features a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends, while the rest is let down which ends in twin braids and red eyes.
What was even more fascinating was that, she was wearing a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white maid headband over her head with red lipstick as a cosmetic accessory.
Seeing this beautiful woman, Serafall smiled and called out.
"Grayfia-chan, what brings you here to my abode★? Did you come to play with me★? I brought some interesting things from human world a while ago★!"
"Lady Leviathan, I am simply here to give you the results of the matter you requested me to investigate."
The silver haired woman, Grayfia Lucifuge, responded calmly, unperturbed by Serafall's playful tone.
"Hmm~" Serafall smiled playfully.
"Ne~, Grayfia-chan★! You don't work as a maid for anyone, so why are you always wearing a maid outfit★? I've been curious for a while now★!"
"It is a personal matter. So please excuse me for not answering." Grayfia said calmly.
"Is it just a gimmick★?" Serafall touched her chin with her index finger.
"Muu~ Now that I think about it,you've never made a peerage of your own, nor have you joined a peerage★. Then how about you join my peerage★? It'll be a lot of fun★!"
"I respectfully decline."
Grayfia refused without a second thought.
"Still waiting for that mysterious lord of yours★?" Serafall asked with a smile.
"..." Grayfia remained silent.
She seemed to have had enough of chatting with Serafall and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
She took out a prism-like colorful stone with some intricate designs on it.
She presented it to Serafall in a swift movement.
"Lady Leviathan, this 'Memory Prism' has everything you requested me to investigate."
"Oh~★! Great work as always, Grayfia-chan★!"
"Now then, if that is all, I'll be leaving-"
Grayfia was about to calmly bid farewell, when she inadvertently caught a glance at the photo of Rayne on the table.
"!!!"
As soon as she saw the picture, her pupils shrank and an expression of great surpise appeared on her face.
Serafall, seeing this, misinterpreted and teased, "Oh~ Grayfia-chan★! You like what you see? After all, he's quite beautiful★! Even my heartbeat sped up when I saw it★!"
Grayfia took a deep breath and regained her composure.
"Lady Leviathan, did you meet the individual in this picture?" Although it seemed calm, Grayfia's voice trembled a bit.
There was a bit of expectation hidden in her eyes.
Serafall narrowed her beautiful pink eyes.
"No★! I just accidentally got this photo★! I kept it because it felt pleasing to my eyes."
She said in a casual tone, refusing to reveal anything about the multiverse chat group.
Grayfia was silent for a moment, then thoughtfully nodded.
"I see. Then I'll be taking my leave."
With that, Grayfia turned around and walked out of the door.
Serafall looked thoughtful.
"The reaction from Grayfia-chan was a bit weird★! Was she just attracted to Rayne's appearance? Or is there something else★?"
After leaving the room, Grayfia quietly stood for a moment and took a deep breath.
She reached out to her neck and pulled out a silver locket.
Opening the locket, there was a picture of Grayfia being held by the shoulder, by a goofy smiling white-haired blue-eyed man, who looked exactly the same as Rayne.
If Serafall saw this, she might be surprised or even shocked.
Grayfia looked at the picture in a daze.
"Master..."
...
Back to the group chat.
[Rayne Ashburn: What do you think? I'm pretty confident in my looks!]
[Rengoku Kyojuro: You are indeed good looking, young Rayne!]
[Darkness: Calling him good looking seems to be an understatement! Rayne-kun, I never thought you would be so pretty!]
[Rayne Ashburn: I'd prefer it if you refer to me as handsome. Anyway, thank you for the compliment.]
[Kiana Kaslana: It would have been great if you were a beautiful girl~]
[Rayne Ashburn: Miss Kiana, keep your abnormal desires to yourself.]
[Serafall Leviathan: Rayne-chan, you must be quite popular, right★?]
...
After chatting for a while, Rayne closed the chat system with a happy smile.
He truly is happy to be chatting with these people again after six years.
His intuition tells him that, it won't be long before the group chat system's first mission will be triggered.
The time for him to meet his group chat friends face-to-face is soon.
"Ah!"
At this time, the surprised shout of a woman caught his attention and he turned around.
He saw a female member of his organization looking at him in a daze, with an abnormal blush on her face, her eyes out of focus. As if her soul itself was stolen.
"Sigh..."
Seeing this, Rayne couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
"Good grief."
"Being too good looking seems to make my life quite boring."
"I never imagined I'd ever face such a problem."
With that, he once again put on his special black sunglasses.
As soon as he put it on, it was as if some sort of veil was put on him, obstructing the full attention of anyone looking at him.
With that, he used teleportation to move away from here.
