A white magic circle appears in a spacious hallway lined with rows of candles and a portrait on the wall of a man with crimson red hair. From the magic circle emerges a young man, 175 cm tall, with white hair and blue eyes. He's wearing a black suit with a red shirt underneath, a long white tie, and black shoes. This is none other than Haru Kurokami.
'That guy in the portrait is Rias's father, but where's the portrait of her mother?'
Haru then heads toward a large door where he hears noises. Arriving there, he sees the door is open. When he looks inside, there are many devils dressed in luxurious clothing.
'This kind of party is like those of high-society humans. This place is really huge, bigger than the school's field, and the ceiling is high too. The giant chandelier is impressive. Rich people are such a pain,' *Haru thought, observing the place.*
Looking around, Haru sees Rias with her hair tied up, wearing a red dress. 'I came here for a scene, so I should make one. Honestly, I was hoping to kick the door down, but oh well, it doesn't matter. It's showtime.'
"Riaaaaaaaaasss," Haru shouted, catching her attention. When Rias turned, she shed a tear, whispering, "Haru." The fried chicken, who was also by her side, saw Haru. The fried chicken was wearing an extravagant tuxedo.
"Hey, Fried Chicken, that tuxedo is an eyesore for everyone here," Haru shouted at Riser.
The only sound in the hall was soft laughter from the devils at Riser Phenex's nickname.
"Hey, you, do you know what this is?" a guard, accompanied by others, approached Haru. As Haru raised his hand to attack them:
"Haru-kun, leave this to us," Kiba, in a white tuxedo, said.
"You're late," Koneko, wearing a dress, said, stepping in to stop the guards.
"Ara ara, so you finally showed up," Akeno, wearing a purple kimono with golden details and pink flowers, said.
The three stopped the guards trying to get in Haru's way.
'Why does it feel like they were waiting for me?' *Haru thought before using Sonido to get close to Rias and the fried chicken.*
"Rias Gremory's virginity belongs to me," Haru said proudly. "Oops, my bad, my bad, I forgot I already took her virginity. Sorry for the wrong statement," Haru said, bowing to the guests at the party. "Well, let me rephrase that."
"Hey, Fried Chicken, Rias Gremory belongs to me," Haru said, pointing at Riser. The fried chicken made a grimace impossible to describe in words.
"What's the meaning of this, Riser?"
"Hey, Lady Rias, what does this mean?"
Devils Haru ignored asked.
"It's an event I organized," a man said.
"Onii-sama," Rias said.
'So he finally made a move after holding back laughter back there,' *Haru thought, seeing Maou Sirzechs Lucifer.* 'Why do I think he warned Rias's peerage about my arrival?' *Haru thought, wondering why the three seemed to be expecting him.*
"I wanted to see this human's power, so I asked Grayfia," Sirzechs simply lied.
'Liar,' *Haru thought with a face that said he didn't care and just wanted this damn speech to end.*
"S-Sirzechs-sama!? You shouldn't do something so irresponsible!" an older man said in a panic.
"It should be fine. The last rating game was very entertaining, but it was a disadvantage for my little sister, who had no experience in rating games and had to face Riser-kun, a prodigy of the Phenex household."
'Prodigy, the fried chicken? Impossible,' *Haru thought, watching the conversation.*
"So, Sirzechs-sama, are you saying the last game wasn't fair?" the man asked.
"No, no, absolutely not. If a Maou like me said such a thing, I'd make the old nobles look bad. The connection between high-class devils is important, after all," Sirzechs said, keeping that gentle, innocent smile on his face.
"Then, Sirzechs, what do you want to do about this?" a middle-aged man with crimson hair from the portrait said.
'Rias's father. Why do I think he also knew about my arrival?' *Haru thought, annoyed.*
"Father, I want to make my adorable little sister's engagement party more flashy. Human versus Phenex, don't you think it's a grand finale!? To liven up the party, having a battle between a legendary creature and a human—there's no entertainment that can top that," Sirzechs said, smiling as always.
'Bastard Maou,' *Haru thought, hearing everything.*
Sirzechs then looked at Haru.
"Human, you have permission. Riser, you can show your power once again in front of Rias and everyone here." Hearing the Maou's request, Riser gave a fearless grin.
'Disgusting smile,' *Haru thought, seeing Riser's grin.*
"Very well, there's no way to refuse if Sirzechs-sama asks me. This Riser will show his final performance before getting married!"
Sirzechs turned to Haru and said:
"Human, what prize do you want when you win the match?"
"Sirzechs-sama!?"
"What are you saying!?"
The devils started criticizing Sirzechs's offer.
"He'll be fighting a high-class devil, so we need to give him something appropriate for it, since we're asking him to do something for us. Now, I can give you anything—a peerage or the most beautiful woman."
'Wait a minute, the most beautiful woman? Could he give his own wife?' *Haru thought, drooling.*
Sirzechs, seeing Haru drooling: 'What's he thinking of asking for?'
"There's really not much I want, or maybe there's nothing, so I guess I can only ask for something," Haru said, wiping the drool from his mouth.
"I want Rias Gremory," Haru said, looking at Sirzechs. Both completely ignored the devils talking.
Sirzechs widened his smile and said, "Very well, if you win, Rias will be yours."
'He completely forgot, along with these idiot devils, that he already declared me the winner earlier,' *Haru thought, recalling his previous words.*
"Thank you very much," Haru said, giving a small bow. 'You have to be polite with superiors and elders, especially when they're really hot women,' *Haru thought, remembering his manners.*
---
'The center of the hall was quickly cleared, with devils standing around the space, watching with piercing eyes. The Occult Research Club members are seated in the same place as Rias, and Sirzechs is also seated beside her.'
'On the other hand, on the Phenex family side, their relatives, servants, and Ravel are seated there. Riser and I are in the center of the hall, waiting for the fight to begin.'
'I didn't expect things to be so different from the anime. I heard there was a Light Novel, the original work, and things in the anime were so different starting from the rating game.'
*Haru thought, observing the situation he was in.*
'Well, let's see how you're doing, Observe.'

'400 strength and 450 agility. My strength is 330, and my agility is 500. With Reinforcement, I get 990 strength and 1,500 agility. Even without Reinforcement, I have the advantage, but I need to humiliate him. How will I do that… That's it, I know, it'll be fun.' With his final thoughts, he entered a close-combat stance, pulled out a book, and started reading while using Observation Haki only in the hall.
Everyone, seeing him reading a romance book, was confused. The Gremory family and their peerage wondered what he was doing in this situation. Meanwhile, the Phenex side thought he was already giving up.
"Please begin," the devil in charge of the battle announced the start.
Riser launched fireballs at Haru, who was reading the book. Haru, sensing everything with Haki, used Full Counter, sending everything back with double the size, power, and speed, blasting Riser with his own power.
Regenerating, Riser said, "I'll finish you, human."
"I could end this in one second with my Hadou 90, but as a result, you'd die," Haru said, still reading the book.
"Kill me? Then why don't you try? With my immortality, you don't stand a chance," Riser said with pure arrogance.
"Riser, get ready to be called Roasted Chicken after what I do to you," Haru said.
"I'll show you who's the fried chicken, human," Riser shouted.
Riser then attacked with punches from left to right, straight at Haru's face, who dodged everything with ease. Riser landed a flaming punch on Haru. Smiling, thinking he got him, white smoke burst from Haru's body, leaving behind a log.
"What?" Riser said, shocked.
"Here, Thousand Years," Riser turned his head back, seeing Haru crouched with two fingers on each hand together, "of Death." Then Haru shoved his fingers into Riser's anus, using water magic, Armament Haki, and Reinforcement for extra force, sending him flying upward.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Riser screamed, flying up, holding his no-longer-virgin butt.
"How does it feel to lose your anal virginity, Riser, no, Roasted Chicken?" Haru said, mocking Riser.
The people who saw what Haru did were shocked. All the male devils clenched their butts seeing Haru's technique. The women were blushing heavily, and some perverted ones, like Akeno, had nosebleeds.
Maou Sirzechs Lucifer was impressed with the technique, but what made him curious was, 'What magic was that that made his fingers black?' he wondered, seeing the Armament Haki.
"You bastard," Riser shouted, getting up from the ground, holding his butt. "Ouch, what? Why isn't it regenerating?" Riser said, holding his bleeding butt, along with some water Haru used for lubrication. "What did you do to me?" Riser shouted.
'It's not regenerating. Interesting. Maybe it's the Armament Haki, since it creates a spiritual armor in the One Piece world, but beings with magic already have an invisible spiritual armor in their body, allowing me to touch Logia users without Armament Haki. So, Armament Haki here in DxD became capable of nullifying Phenex regeneration. I think I'll test it,' *Haru was lost in thought until…*

[Haru » Hatred]
'Damn, he recovered all HP and MP with that, but with Reinforcement, I'm still physically superior. Magically, I'm inferior.'
'Shit,' *Haru thought, using Sonido to escape Riser flying straight at him with a flaming punch that covered his whole body in flames.*
Haru appeared twenty meters from his previous spot, seeing Riser crash into the wall, destroying it.
Getting up, Riser shouted, "I'll kill you, human," opening his fiery wings, creating a fire whirlwind in the hall. The fire was so strong that the devils created a magical barrier to protect themselves.
'It's hot, so the heat exceeds 500 degrees. Troublesome,' *Haru thought, covering both hands with Armament Haki.* 'At least I can stop his regeneration with Haki. Sorry, Phenex family, but I'll have to humiliate your regeneration for the entire Underworld,' *Haru thought, attacking Riser.*
Riser attacked too, both pulling their fists back, delivering a punch that destroyed the hall's floor with the impact.
'Maybe if I cover my hands with water, I can make him use more magic quickly,' *Haru thought, covering both hands with water.* 'Hot, damn, the water's boiling,' *Haru thought, seeing the water boil on his hands.*
'I'd better not waste time and go full speed.' Haru then used Sonido, appearing in front of Riser, catching him by surprise. Haru started delivering a barrage of punches at full speed to Riser's face, reducing his HP and MP with each punch.
'It seems in this mode, he loses MP constantly. With me using water to put out the fire around him with each punch that wets him, his MP drops faster,' *Haru thought, landing a punch that broke a tooth and an uppercut that sent him straight into the ceiling.*
With Riser stuck in the ceiling, Haru sent a water ball covering Riser's body. The water ball started boiling and evaporating. Haru then created a lightning ball in his hand and threw it at the water ball with Riser.
With the water ball as a conductor to amplify the shock, an electric shock destroyed the hall's ceiling with Riser's scream.
"AAHAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAH!"
Haru, on the ground, saw his magic dropping quickly as regeneration healed him.
'So the Phenex family's weakness is lightning. That's why he had his Queen take Akeno out of the rating game at the first opportunity. She was the only threat to him,' *Haru thought, seeing Riser's MP drop below half.*
'My MP is also below half,' *Haru thought, checking Riser's MP.* 'But the damage from punches with Haki isn't regenerating.'
"You damn bastard, how can you injure me with the Phenex immortality?" Riser said, getting up from the ground with his face all battered.
Haru covered his feet with Armament Haki. "It's none of your business," Haru said, using Sonido, attacking Riser all over his body—ribs, stomach, back, balls, head.
Riser was being tossed around the room at high speed. Few devils could keep up with Sonido's speed. They saw Riser getting injured with the Phenex family's regeneration being useless.
'As I thought, that magic that made his fingers black is nullifying the Phenex family's regeneration,' *Sirzechs thought, watching Haru finish with a black-covered punch with water and lightning to Riser's head, sending him to the ground.* 'Very interesting, Kurokami Haru, you're very interesting,' *these were the Maou's final thoughts, watching Haru prepare to finish Riser with what magic he had left.*
"It's time to end this, Roasted Chicken," Haru said, preparing for the final attack.
"W-Wait! You know what you're doing? This engagement is important and necessary for the future of devils! It's not something a human like you can meddle in!" Riser said desperately from the ground, seeing Haru with his right fist black with water and lightning.
"I don't care about that nonsense," Haru said, preparing to land the final punch.
As Haru was about to deliver the last attack, Ravel stepped in the way.
"Please stop, you've already won," she said with tears threatening to spill from her eyes.
"Alright, it doesn't matter. I'll let Roasted Chicken live for today," Haru said, returning his fist to normal.
"Thank you," Ravel said with flushed cheeks, helping to take Riser out of the hall with his peerage.
Haru then walked toward Rias.
"Haru," Rias said.
Haru, seeing her father, turned to him.
"I won, so I'll take my reward home. After all, I want to sleep while I recover from my injuries."
'What injuries?' *everyone thought, seeing Haru almost unscathed.* 'And how is he standing with no magic?' *they thought, seeing him with zero magic.*
Rias's father said nothing and just closed his eyes. Sirzechs was no longer there.
"Let's go, Rias," Haru said, taking the magic circle. A flash appeared, and…
"Griffon," someone said.
"ROAR," the griffon let out a small roar.
"No way I'm riding that," Haru said, using a teleportation circle he won in the roulette.
Haru took Rias's hand, and they vanished in Haru's white teleportation circle.
---
With Lord Gremory and Lord Phenex after Haru disappeared, leaving the griffon behind, with some devils consoling him on the ground for being rejected.
"Lord Phenex, I'm very sorry this engagement turned out like this. I know it's rude, but this engagement…"
"You don't need to say more, Lord Gremory. It was a good arrangement for pure-blood devils, but it seems we both got too greedy. We both already have pure-blood devil grandchildren. Maybe it's the greed as devils that made us desire this, or is it because we saw hell in the last war?"
"No, I also forced my greed onto my daughter."
"What's his name? I only heard your daughter's peerage and her call him Haru. I'd like to thank him. My son overestimated our clan's capabilities. This will also be a good lesson for my son. Phenex isn't absolute, but I still want to know what power he used to nullify the regeneration. It didn't seem like the power of the Belial household, but it had a similar effect."
"Lord Phenex."
"Your daughter fell in love with someone very interesting, and he's already Sona Sitri's fiancé too. It seems the Underworld won't be boring in the future."
"I didn't expect my daughter to find such a strong human with powerful and unique magic. He's also not a descendant of a hero."
"A unique talent that appears in humanity once every million years."
---
In the living room of the house where Haru lives, he's standing with Rias. They just arrived from the Underworld.
'It seems Sona came back normally.' Indeed, Haru saw Sona at the engagement party. He noticed she seemed worried, but she was happy in the end because he won.
"Thank you," Rias said, hugging Haru.
Rias then stepped back and kissed him. "I want a night like the one when you took my virginity," Rias said in a sensual voice.
"I see. Then go up to the bedroom; I won't be long."
"I'll be waiting," she said, heading upstairs to the bedroom.
'Now.'

'Should I start using protection?'
*Haru thought, going up the stairs to spend the night inside Rias.*

'Damn, Sona and Rias are staring at each other intensely this morning. I'd better head to school soon.'
"I'm the one who'll be the main one, Rias."
'My quiet life in this house is over,' *Haru thought, hearing them shouting at each other outside the house.*
"But what do they mean by main?"
