How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories

After the report Sona gained from Masaru her day working as the Student Council President has become even busier, the students who sent out complaint letters about Masaru and his relationship with his peerage truly ignited their envy to the point some of them simply filled the complaint form and only wrote Masaru's name onto it. Sona who was reading the latest complaint form could not help but sigh helplessly 'Ever since he came to the school things has been hectic, not even a period gone by he already became the most hated and famous in the school'

She places the complaint letter aside and started to read the discussion report the teachers had in regards to this problem, the only solution they came up with was to either kick out Masaru by making up a excuse which is hard to make since Masaru was quite a serious student who studied hard and the tests they write he excelled in them. The other teacher suggested to have them dissolve the Disciplinary Committee, although both plans seem to be able to curb the resentment of the students but if the government hear this? It will be a matter completely different.

"I will have to talk with Masaru again, maybe he will help me by keeping his actions with the girls privately" Sona sighed again, "The world of the humans where we can't openly make movements and simply wiping memories won't resolve the problem... I will put it on hold till I find a good plan" Tsubaki came into the office "Sona Kaichou, it appears the Tsubasa Yura has gotten the pamphlet we arranged for her to get" Sona nodded, "Good work, depending on how she performs and acts we might have another member in our team"

"Is those the complain forms about Masaru again?" Tsubaki was already tired of dealing with these complaints that are simply baseless, Sona nodded "Yes, even the teachers were coming up with ways to deal with the situation. Can't blame them, the majority of the school is jealous of Masaru's relationship with the girls although they have publicly announced they are friends for the sake of formality" Sona rubbed her forehead thinking about it, soon knocking sounds could be heard "Come in" The person to appear was Masaru himself, "Oh, Sona Kaichou if your busy I will come back later"

"No, it's fine to take a seat" Masaru came over to take his seat, Sona said nothing and placed a chess set on the table. This was their daily activity during the short break time since the lunch time Masaru tends to train swordsmanship now and then with Sakura, "Have they been causing you trouble again?" Masaru naturally saw the reports and thought of asking this, Sona did not answer immediately setting up the board. "Yes, I was thinking of asking if you could temporarily hide your interactions with the girls but I honestly feel it is stupid for the students to be jealous." Masaru nodded agreeing with her.

Today was Sona's turn to play white so she made her first move and Masaru followed, "So how is your peerage hunting going?" Sona who heard this pushed her glasses back in place "I prefer to call it recruitment and it's going fine" Masaru smiled "I believe you and Rias will have to work harder in finding members, one year is a short amount of time and the old devils want to arrange that Rating Games for us younger generation only before we will make our debut in the future" Sona responded to Masaru's move on the chessboard, "So it's confirmed" Masaru countered her move, "Yes, my father has already notified me. So there is a chance I will be leaving for a week to head to Romania although it is not confirmed yet" Sona thought for a moment before responding with a move of her own.

"Why Romania?" Masaru sit back looking at the chessboard seriously, playing with Sona he realized just how difficult it was to play against her. "You see, for my peerage, I have Fallen Angel, Dark Elf, Devils, Humans, Dragons... Although it sounds stupid but I thought maybe I should go out and try my luck in finding a good vampire peerage member" Sona who heard this could not help but raise her left brow seeing how whimsical Masaru was currently before responding to Masaru's move almost instantly, "To think you would want a vampire, but yes your right... I am intending to search a bit more actively for members"

"This coming weekend, why don't you bring your peerage members and join a training session with us," Masaru suggested something that was akin to an olive branch to Sona who had some trouble looking for training methods to compare with since the training menu her Sister's peerage does is a bit too much. So having a chance to experience Masaru's way of training with his peerage members would be beneficial. "Why would you be so open? You think I am not a threat in the Rating game?"

"Let me put it this way, in terms of fatality dangerous levels I give you and Agares the highest marks" Sona who heard this did not expect him to recognize her being more dangerous than Sairaorg, "Huh?" Masaru chuckled, "You wonder why are you who is supposed to be weaker in the view of the people is actually viewed as the stronger... The reason is simple, your peerage is not yet complete but your fighting style is by investigating your opponent in full, come out with a variety of scenarios to deal with your enemies. You would use any method to win, including if you have to target the emotional pillar of a team to crush it..."

"Sairaorg is strong, but his peerage is influenced by his straight forward attitude of busting through things with brute force. If you can find a plan to anger him or a method to drain his energy then, in the end, you will win..." Masaru places his piece on the chess, "That's why you're more dangerous for me, but having you train this weekend with me will also give me information about your team. So your not the only one benefiting from this" 'Since I will have your team members become practice partners for my members'

"Since it is your invitation I will naturally accept it, I really want to see how the Wonder Child of Belial train his peerage members to their current state" Masaru smirked bitterly at the title, "It's Demon King now, I am in school" Sona covered her lips acting surprised, "So you accepted the Demon King title instead of the crown prince?" Masaru was bewildered, "Where the hell does this crown prince come from?" Sona giggled, "It comes from your handsome looks, since Kiba was already made the Prince of Kuoh they naturally made you the crown prince" Masaru simply sighed he had enough of the human's ways of thinking but it will be later when the younger generation rating game start he will truly understand it is not only the humans who think like this.

"I heard that you are concerned about Rias?" Hearing Masaru's blunt question Sona stopped her piece from moving then looked at him, her eyes were complicated to reach out and help is easy but her status does not permit her to. "You do know you can help her indirectly without being 'involved' or anyone being able to 'proof' you are involved?" Sona started to think of ways but could not think of anything, "Are you resolved enough to become the Demon instead of Rias Gremories friend?"

"What you mean?" Masaru watches Sona make her move before he made his last move, "It's against my principles for getting involved but for you, I can at least give you a tip, you both have brother and sister in the top who would love to help you. But you both seem to misunderstand that they would give up their jobs to help you which is half true half false, it is only in emergencies they would but if not they will hold back even if they love you two to death."

Sona was not sure why he would go to explain the relationship between them and the devil kings, "The main problem Rias need to resolve right now is her weak peerage, I can't play this role nor can I get easily involved because that girl I have no proof yet but her actions make me feel like she is looking for an excuse to get my help fȯrċɨbŀƴ and me telling her something is just not going to work. Sona, if you want to help your friend you will have to point out every flaw she has. Her spoiled attitude that is still present, her lax management over her peerage, the fact she and her peerage is not training. And lastly, which is the most important, you have to point out for her which she does or does not realize the fact she is not doing anything hoping a hero like her brother will come out to help her break off the engagement which you know even your sister could not get involved in. This is the politics of the Devil world" 'I kind of hate myself for doing this, but at least there will be some decent competition in the Rating games... And I will have stronger allies to survive in this unreasonable world which I have almost no memories of'

Masaru stood up and left the room, Sona herself was sitting back on the chair seeing that the chess game was her loss this time around. 'I never considered becoming a villain myself for my friend's sake...' Sona could understand that this was probably the only way to help her friend since it will appear like she is pointing out Rias's mistakes and the devils will ȧssume she is tired of watching Rias complaining and not doing anything about it so they will not be easily able to make complaints without any physical evidence.

a Bit later Sona skipped class for the first time in her life sitting in her office with a projection in front of her, a girl in twin tail magical girl outfit. "So-tan! To think you would call Oneesama on your own, this Sera-chan is moved to tears!" Serafall whom Sona called was indeed crying since the times Sona calls her sister was minimal since the former does not want to disturb the latter who is a devil king. "I want to hear your input if I can do something that will not put any pressure on you or our family" Serafall who heard it was serious still smiled but Sona knew her sister was seriously listening so she began to explain Masaru's advice for her.

Poor Serafall's smile was cramping up and the corners were twitching, 'That brat again... why is that brat sullying my So-tan to become an Evil So-tan! She should be Magical Girl So-tan instead!!!' But since she knew her little sister is really concerned about Rias, but unlike Rias, Sona considers her Family in every action she takes which is quite similar to how Masaru operates. "So-tan, such a role is painful you know? If it fails you will be hated by Rias or she might break..." Serafall spoke her reason and sighed. "But if you take that Brocon in the story then yes, what Masaru said was indeed true. There are only two people that can make this movement and that is You and Grayfia-chan"

"You think we will be able to move Grafia?" Serafall shook her head, "If she was easy to move then Masaru wouldn't have suggested this to you but instead to Grayfia-chan, that bastard might be cruel on the surface but he is exceptionally kind in his way. He already knew Grayfia-chan will not be able to move however she wants, so the way how he will make it work will be to make it appears that Grayfia-chan would scold Rias-chan coldly but this method is really the last reserve because of her history, she came from the enemy side during the war within the devils all those years ago so she can't carelessly move otherwise it will cause trouble for Zech-chan. Which naturally includes she can't excessively get involved in family matters"

"Fine I will do it" Sona made her choice when she heard why Masaru came even if it was against his personality since he always complained how spoiled Rias was, 'I guess he too got a bit tired of watching it all, very well I will be it... that demon' Serafall who saw her little sister's resolve smiled bitterly "So-tan, onee-sama will always be on your side so do whatever you feel is right. Leave the politic battles for onee-sama since I rarely get to use my authority as a Devil King after all" Sona smiled warmly at her sister, when it's in private she did not care about her sister's show of affection or her appearance. "Thank you Onee sama"

"Come in" Sona entered the Occult room where Rias was fixing the documentations, Sara was helping her quietly. "Sona! You came to visit?" Sona looked at Sara then at Rias, "I need to talk with you alone" Rias who heard her friend's serious tone was a bit confused but she still sent Sara out, "What's wrong Sona why are you looking so serious?" Sona took her seat, she took a deep breath and her stoic face looked at Rias sternly, "Rias, how are you going to deal with Riser? Have you made any plans to train your peerage?"

"This---" Rias was about to continue but Sona continued, "Not only do you not train them properly, you simply let the problems with each peerage member you have slid as if you're hoping for the problems to be resolved with time" Rias felt agitated as she never heard her best friend being this mean to her, pointing every point she herself was bothered about she could not help but yell out her frustrations within her heart. "Then tell me how! How am I suppose to deal with it all!? Sara's trauma is serious and I can't force her to communicate with people, Kiba is hell-bent on his revenge I tried to convince him to live on for his friends... Gasper is scared of people and refuses to come out of the room! With everyone having something bothering them, I can't force them to think of my problem!"

"That's where your mistaken Rias, you're a king, not a baby sitter. They agreed to join you means they agreed that you are their master, sometimes it takes to be cruel to be kind..." Sona fixed her glasses back in place, "If your serious about breaking off the engagement with Riser then focus on training your peerage, call your brother and ask for his advice on this" Rias shook her head but Sona shot something that broke the windows of hope for her, "What? you won't admit your hoping that your brother will move at the last moment to save you? This is hypocrisy Rias! You speak of not asking your brother for his help but you actually placing your hopes on him in the end!"

"Masaru told me something a while ago and I understood it then, you and me we both are little sisters to the Devil kings but do you think your brother will drop the devil world for you?" Rias who heard this shook her head, "No, but that does not mean he will abandon you. Your brother can still give you a hand without moving himself. What I am trying to say is speak with him and he can use his contacts to help you out, he himself won't need to move do you understand?" Rias was still in shock for hearing everything, it was so jumbled in her head that she could not make it out. Sona stood up and went over to her head shaking her back to her senses. "Rias, you need to use the connections you have. Get your brother's advice and train your members, it's a shame but we can afford to deal with your peerage member's problems at a later stage, but right now your peerage need a massive upgrade in their strength and you need to learn what it means to be a King"

"King?" Sona nodded, "Your responsible for sending your peerage members to investigate Riser's team, find out their powers, weaknesses, history, relationships, everything. Your responsible for ensuring they are training not dropping them off at your brother's peerage like Kiba-kun, but you have to arrange training for every single one of them. Rias, you have the time now to prepare otherwise do you intend to become a woman of a womanizer like Riser and mother his children for him which may not even be yours?"

After talking for a bit more Sona left the room feeling dead tired, she thought about Masaru wondering if he did something like this before because after Sona broke down the walls around Rias the latter regained some spirit and started to work hard as if possessed. 'Guess I owe him one huh?' Sona thought while heading back towards the student council room, despite feeling tired she felt more relaxed.

(AN: Honestly since it is still a distance away, even I myself can't wait how I will deal with this mess I made for the fire chicken! Since I don't want to deviate the Canon too much well the first six novels that is lol!!! >.> I wonder how it will all piece together without holes in them)

"Sona-sama, I have located Tsubasa Yura. She is currently fighting a low class stray devil" Tsubaki entered the room, Sona thought for a moment "Call Reya and Momo, time to move out" It did not take long for the two bishops to arrive and the four of them teleported away, Sona was bewildered as for why Tsubasa would combat stray devil in brought daylight. 'Could it be she sought it or it sought her? But Devils should not be truly active unless it's night'

The destination was a massive abandoned factory making one wonder why does Kuoh Town have so many abandoned buildings, from the outside it was soft noises of fists clashing against something strong. When they pushed open the door what appeared was not a stray devil but a mid-rank evil spirit. Sona was surprised at the sight of a human being able to touch spirits not to mention see them. Seeing how Tsubasa was being pushed back Sona walked forward raising her hand almost in slow motion with her index finger pointing at the spirit.

The next instance in front of Tsubasa who was combating the spirit did not detect the presence of the devils only saw the spirit instantly vaporized when a bullet made of water blew it away. When she looks in the direction of where the bullet came from she saw the members of the Student Council is led by the President herself no less, "Hello, you must be Tsubasa Yura. My name is Sona Sitri but are you okay?" Tsubasa nodded, this was the first meeting between Sona and her first Rook.
