DxD: Wrong Way

Aoki looked at Rias and then at the chess pieces on the coffee table with a confused expression. 

"What's going on? Did Rias mistake the ordinary chess pieces for the demon chess pieces?" 

Rias blinked her crystal eyes, equally unable to comprehend. 

She picked up the chess set on the coffee table and double-checked it. 

That's right; it's the devil chess piece from the castle's employment agency. 

It was obvious that it had integrated into Aoki's body at the beginning and began to reincarnate, but why did it suddenly fail at the end? 

Rias had seen failed reincarnations, but what happened to Aoki was completely different. 

If the chess pieces are not enough to complete the transformation and a larger dose is needed, then the magic circle will continue, and she will induce. 

Then naturally, there is another set of remedies. 

Rias had neither heard of nor seen the devil chess piece being completely expelled from the body. 

Aoki felt that Rias had obtained counterfeit and inferior products.

Rias felt that it was not her problem but definitely Aoki's problem. 

The two of them simply looked at each other, wide-eyed and narrowed-eyed. 

"hmm~" 

The white-haired lolita licked her lollipop and suggested, "Buchou, do you want to try some other chess pieces?" 

"Um…" 

Rias rubbed the chess piece in her hand and decided to try again. 

The rejected chess pieces can still be used.

The magic power they contain has not diminished, but the quality seems to have improved. 

The originally dark chess pieces appeared to have been maintained, and they were shiny and smooth with a metallic luster. 

To prevent insufficient dosage, this time Rias directly used eight soldier pieces. 

"Buzz—" 

The black and red magic circle lit up once more. 

Before long, looking at the eight chess pieces that fell onto the coffee table, Rias felt a little frantic. 

After thinking for a moment, she put away the pawn chess pieces and took out the only mutant chess piece. 

Aoki also noticed that something was wrong at this moment.

One chess piece was a counterfeit, and the eight pawn chess pieces couldn't all be fake. 

Gazing at the mutated chess piece as dark as ink in Rias's hand, he gritted his teeth and opened his mind again. 

"Buzz—" 

The magic circle lasted longer than when using eight soldier pieces. 

Aoki obviously felt his strength and magic power constantly increasing, but as time passed, this feeling gradually disappeared. 

"Dang Cang——" 

Rias looked calm as she observed the chess pieces falling onto the coffee table. 

An expected result. 

Having reached this point, she simply used all the remaining chess pieces in her hand. 

If it were to happen, she would definitely make Aoki work until he died. 

Aoki alone would occupy twelve of the fifteen dependent positions, excluding the three that had already been used, so he was expected to do the work of twelve people! 

Looking into Rias's eyes as if he wanted to eat someone, Aoki shuddered unconsciously. 

Forced by the red-haired Demon Breast Girl's firm urging, he could only continue to cooperate. 

A magic circle much larger than before lit up and enveloped Aoki's entire body. 

Rias's red hair flew, her magic power fully activated, and the twelve chess pieces soared towards Aoki's chest one after another. 

… 

"Danglang——" × 12 

Looking at the demonic chess pieces scattered on the coffee table, Rias's eyes lost their luster. 

She was considered knowledgeable, but this was the first time this had happened. 

Not to mention that everything could be integrated, but in the end, nothing was needed... 

Looking at the chess pieces, Rias felt as if she were being betrayed. 

The key was that she had taken the initiative to send it to... 

Quietly picking up the chess pieces and feeling the breath of youth in them, this sensation deepened. 

Illusion... this is all an illusion... it will get better after a while. 

Rias silently chanted in her heart, hoping that the chess pieces would not truly take the form of Aoki. 

Aoki rubbed his chest after being kicked by Akeno Himejima, the devil chess pieces pushing him in and out. 

Although she didn't feel anything, seeing his chest moving in and out made him subconsciously want to check if he was hurt. 

Well, there were no traces at all; even the small marks Akeno Himejima left earlier had almost disappeared. 

But instead of feeling stronger, Aoki felt like he was being squeezed dry. 

Little Aoki, who had always kept his head held high and his chest out, now felt disheartened. 

Evidently, the reincarnation of the shop assistants couldn't be said to have failed; it could only be described as completely impossible. 

"Buchou, I'll go back first." 

Aoki planned to run away before Himejima Akeno emerged.

If the reincarnation fails, Himejima Akeno won't give him anything.

If he doesn't leave now, should he wait for the other party to come out and then kick him?

Long legs in black stockings are pleasing to the eye, but they can also be very powerful when kicking people.

Rias looked at the chess piece in her hand and waved, signaling Aoki to get out of here.

She doesn't want to see Aoki now, nor does she want to talk to him.

The more Rias looked at her demonic chess piece, the more uncomfortable she felt.

It looks... very dirty.

Aoki didn't know about the changes in the Devil Chess Pieces, so he assumed that the reincarnated family members had failed and Rias was in a bad mood.

After leaving the club activity room, Aoki was tidying up his clothes while pondering the reasons for his failure in reincarnation.

It's logical that the conversion should go smoothly.

He's just an ordinary person.

At most, his soul is a bit special.

The Devil Chess Piece can reincarnate dragons and monsters, so why can't it work with him?

After considering it for about ten seconds, he had no idea.

Once it comes, make peace with it.

If he can't figure it out, don't dwell on it.

The one who should be concerned about the reason is Rias.

What she should do is try again before Shitori Sona hears the news...

Well, this gives Shitori Sona a chance to experiment again.

Let's see if it's her fault or Rias's problem.

"I feel a little weak and I don't know if I can hold on..."

Aoki changed direction and walked straight towards the student union.

Even if it doesn't work, it has to work.

If Rias goes to Shitori Sona to discuss this matter, then she won't stand a chance.

...

..

.

"Tsubaki-senpai, are you free now?"

Shinra Tsubaki raised her head with a serious expression: "Is something wrong?"

Aoki smiled naively and nodded obediently.

After hesitating for a moment, under the ambiguous gaze of the student council members, Shinra Tsubaki stood up and walked towards Aoki.

The two of them arrived at the single room next door. As soon as he entered, Shinra Tsubaki sneered and said, "Kouhai Uesugi, why do you come to see me when you have the time?"

Aoki was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know when he had offended the vice president.

"Tsubaki-senpai, why are you calling me Uesugi again? Didn't you agree to call me by my name?"

He shamelessly approached Shinra Tsubaki and tried to kiss him.

Shinra Tsubaki turned his head to prevent Aoki from succeeding, but he didn't push him away either.

"Haha, I don't dare to call you by your name directly. What if Akeno doesn't understand?"

Jealousy permeated the air.

Aoki immediately understood what was happening.

Ever since the rumor was settled, he hadn't come to see Shinra Tsubaki even once.

Even if he didn't visit her, he went to the Occult Research Club every day. It was a pity for Shitori Aoi, but Aoki eventually chose Rias.

However, Shinra Tsubaki was different.

The front foot had given her his first kiss, and the back foot found out that Aoki had run away with someone else, which made her angry.

Aoki smiled, blaming himself for not being devious enough.

He had been so obsessed with training that he forgot there was a ripe fruit waiting to be picked.

"Tsubaki-Senpai, I was forced into it as well"

Aoki explained, mixing truth with lies.

"I went to the Occult Research Club for training. Not to mention Akeno-senpai, I didn't see anyone except the kitten who beat me up."

He focused on describing how brutally he had been beaten and didn't even mention the enticing benefits of the process.
