Life In DXD

After Kiba and the exorcists were gone Isami and the others were about to follow them but suddenly two magic circles appeared and the kings and Queens of both the peerages appeared there.

All the devils who saw them got surprised and were a bit scared by them. Both of them then looked at their peerage members and said, "My, you all are such naughty children."

All of them then went inside the building and both the Kings were about to scold and punish their servants but before they were able to start Tatsuya came forward and said, "Just stop it's not their fault I am the one who made the plans."

Sona and Rias along with their queens looked at Tatsuya and Rias said, "Even though you were the one behind it, they are still my servan-" before she was able to continue Sona interjected and said, "Is it related to the the thing that we discussed yesterday?"

Tatsuya ignored Rias as well and looked at Sona and said, "Yes it is, I am sorry for taking Saji without your permission but it was urgency, we needed numbers and that too quickly. Waiting and discussing the whole matter with you would have taken too much time."

Sona nodded and said, "I understand but don't take my peerage members without my permission next time."

Tatsuya just smiled and said, "No promises, that depends on the situation."

Rias looked at their interaction and got a bit annoyed and said, "Hey don't ignore me, and what is the thing that you discussed with her yesterday?"

Sona and Tatsuya looked at Rias and gave an annoyed sigh. Sona then shifted her glasses and said, "It was something related to the things that are happening in the town recently, the things are not that small that you are imagining them to be."

Rias who when saw both of them sighing got angry which only increased after Sona finished talking.

She looked at both of them and narrowed her eyes and said, "If the situation was too dangerous then it seems to be then why wasn't I included in the discussion you two had yesterday. This is my territory as well."

At this Sona got a bit panicked and didn't know how to explain the situation to her. She then looked at Tatsuya and saw him look at Rias intently and thought, 'No, Tatsuya don't do what I think that you are going to do.'

Tatsuya who heard her thoughts through telepathy looked at her with an expression which said, "I don't give a f.u.c.k about that."

He then looked at Rias and said, "Even if we have invited and explained the situation to you, what would have you done about that?"

Rias looked at Tatsuya and said, "I would have solved the problem in my own way."

"Hahahaha" Tatsuya started to laugh making Sona and the others more worried but Rias only got angrier by that.

After laughing for a while Tatsuya calmed himself down and said, "Solved the problem in your own way, huh." He then glared at Rias making her flinch and said, "Just like you solved the problems with the fallen angels by allowing them to do whatever they wanted to do in the town."

At this the entire atmosphere of the room got tense. all of them were shocked to see Tatsuya say that to Rias but they couldn't do anything afterall what he was saying was true.

Rias glared at Tatsuya and said, "My actions at that time were correct if no-"

Tatsuya raised his hand and stopped her from talking and said, "Don't spout the bullshit about you not harming them because it could have lead to friction in between the factions and would have started the three way war."

He then put his hand down and glared back at her and said, "That is the only the excuse that you keep on saying to neglect your duties. A person entering your territory without any permission and do whatever he wants couldn't be harmed because it could lead to another war. If so why did you killed the group of fallen in the church, wasn't it going to start your so called war."

Rias and the others only remained silent with Rias glaring at Tatsuya.

Tatsuya then snorted and said, "Some devil you are to say that you are also the governing this territory. When it comes to duties you are the least involved and when it comes to taking advantages you are the first person to come up. Those fallen angels were destroyed by Isami because I was the one who ordered her as a part of her training to let her gain real combat experience and yet all the credit for it was taken by you."

Rias only gritted her teeth but couldn't utter a word. Tatsuya continued to glare at her and said, "But do you know because of your actions, you have gained one thing. Do you know what?"

Tatsuya then looked at Sona and said, "And this time you are somewhat involved in this as well."

Both Sona and Rias got confused and looked at Tatsuya. Tatsuya just looked back at them and said, "Because you let those fallen and exorcists live in this territory and do whatever they wanted they have sent enough information about the territory to their leader so now it has already come to a situation that can turn into war. Congratulations." Tatsuya said that and started clapping.

This only made them more and more depressed and guilty and somehow both of them felt like crying. Tsubaki and Akeno looked at Tatsuya and were about to ask him to stop but before they were able to Tatsuya glared at them and said, "I am not done yet." Both of them flinched and immediately backed down. They could feel that Tatsuya was really angry now and didn't want to mess with him.

Tatsuya looked at both Sona and Rias and said, "During tonight's operation I was on patrol around the town and you know what I came across a lot of shady supernatural groups who have made this town thier headquarters and were conducting a lot of illegal business. Why do I have to take care of these groups when you are the ones who have asked to govern over the town and are officially the ones to do that. Weren't you the ones who wanted to live in this territory while governing it, so why is it that there are so many unauthorized people here in my territory." He said the last part with a clod voice.

All of them flinched at the coldness in Tatsuya's voice and immediately Sona bowed her head and said, "I am sorry about that it will not happen again." All of them were surprised to see Sona bow her head and Tatsuya looked at her and said, "I expect the same as well, don't expect that I will show leniency towards you if you are in a relationship with me. If you have taken this duty then make sure to fulfill it." Sona looked up and nodded her head. This was the first time that she had seen Tatsuya become angry and knew that the matter is quite serious to make him angry. She knew that it was mostly Rias's fault but she didn't want to take any chances to make Tatsuya angrier.

Tatsuya then looked at Rias and said, "Do you have to say anything in your defence?"

Rias looked at him and said, "I didn't even knew that there were those types of groups in the town? How do you expect me to take care of them?"

Hearing what Rias just said Tatsuya snapped and have her the coldest glare he possibly could and unconsciously released 'a bit' of his aura which made all of them feel suffocated.

Tatsuya who noticed that soon controlled himself and said, "I am sorry" He then looked back at Rias and said, "So you didn't knew that there were such shady groups in the town? I highly doubt that, you who is technically a high class devil is not able to feel the presence of other species. If that is true then I think that you are worthless. But let's just keep that aside. Sona here has also been clearing many such groups in the town, you know that?"

Hearing that Rias got a bit annoyed to see that Tatsuya called her worthless and that he knew that Sona did cleared some of the groups.

Tatsuya then said, "But still she was unable to clear all of them and that is also not what I am pointing to. What I want to say is that, if Sona who actually knows about the groups was unable to clear them all then wouldn't it be natural that she will discuss this problem with her fellow ruler to ask fo help?"

At this Rias fell silent and didn't said anything.

Tatsuya then said, "Let's even keep that aside too. Tell me what could you have done even if you knew about these groups. Doesn't the result would have been same?"

Rias looked at him and said, "What do you mean to say?"

Tatsuya continued to look at her with an expressionless face and said, "I mean didn't you did the same with the situation you knew about years ago but still didn't do anything about it."

Rias narrowed her eyes and said, "Which situation are you talking about specifically?"

Tatsuya just smirking and said, "Your marriage contract with Riser of course. You knew about that since a long time but what did you do that to come out of it other than ranting about your situation?"

Rias glared at Tatsuya and gritted her teeth. Tatsuya who saw that said, "What the truth hit you hard?"

Rias's continued to glare and then Tatsuya said, "In the whole rating game you couldn't even defeat a single opponent. Not only that you even hindered the others by acting recklessly and put them in danger. Do you seriously think that if Isami was not able to achieve her balance breaker any of you would have survived. Riser could have easily injured you pretty badly if not burn you to ashes of your peerage would not have saved you."

Rias continued to grit her teeth and glare at Tatsuya but he completely ignored her and said, "You didn't even train when you were finally given the opportunity before the rating game. Do you seriously think that you are that strong? Tell me do can you hold yourself against Freed while he is wielding a holy sword? No, you can't, but you know Kiba held out against him and twice too at that. I will say it bluntly Rias, you are the weakest person in your group and if you continued to be the same you will hold back the others."

He said that and then sighed. He then looked at her and said, "Stop being a spoiled princess, the world is not that peaceful and kind that you have experienced till now. You can die anytime if you are not strong enough. It is also not only about you but also the people who are under you and following you."

He then released his aura and to make them feel pressurised and said, "Take example from the situation we are currently in. If you were to die in the current scenario of events it will directly lead to the war. What would you do then."

Rias was about to say something but Tatsuya stopped her and said, "And don't say that you can hold yourself on your own. Do you have confidence to hold against a cadre when you were unable to hold against even Riser."

This made her silent and she looked down in guilt.

Tatsuya then calmed down and said, "I will be helping you this time because this involves the town which is my territory but how long do you expect someone to save your ass. Grow up Rias or you will die in this world. Also I am taking back the ownership of the town from Rias Gremory. She and her peerage are allowed to stay and attend the school but all the powers that you had about the decision making of the town and authority have been taken from you."

This made all of them shocked and Rias said, "You cannot do this."

Tatsuya looked at her with a glare and said, "I most certainly can, you are still not worthy of taking care of a town. You have put the lives of not only the supernaturals but also the normal humans as well. The enemy is aiming for war he most certainly would be having an army and if the war actually occurs then many more innocents will die."

He then gave her a final glare and said, "I am done with you playing ruler in my territory." He said that and then teleported back to his home leaving behind a group of speechless devils.
