"Hahaha, you are really funny." Rias laughed, her voice light and melodic. She tilted her head slightly, her crimson eyes glinting with amusement as she looked at Gwen, "By the way, what is your name?" She asked, her tone casual but her gaze sharp, as if she were studying Gwen intently.
'This bitch!' Gwen thought, a faint vein popping on her forehead. Despite her irritation, she maintained a relaxed expression and replied, "Gwen. My name is Gwen Stacy."
"Ah, Gwen. I'll remember that." Rias said with a warm smile. She then turned her attention to Mary and Liz, her gaze shifting between the two, "And what about you two? What are your names?"
"Mary Jane." Mary said, her voice steady but her eyes narrowing slightly as she assessed Rias.
"Liz Allen." Liz added, her tone polite but guarded.
As they introduced themselves, Rias subtly moved closer to Peter. Her steps were swift and deliberate, yet so smooth that none of the girls noticed her shifting position. By the time Gwen realized what was happening, Rias was already standing beside Peter, her presence almost unnervingly close.
"Hey, what are you doing so close to Peter?" Gwen asked, her sharp eyes narrowing as she crossed her arms. While she was generally fine with Peter's charm attracting other women, she wasn't about to let someone play games with her.
"Huh? When did she get there?" Liz exclaimed, finally noticing Rias's proximity to Peter.
"Hey, get away from my boyfriend!" Mary suddenly declared, her voice loud and firm. She quickly moved to Peter's side, wrapping her arm tightly around his and glaring at Rias. Her possessiveness was unmistakable, and her words left Liz and Gwen momentarily stunned.
'This girl!' Liz and Gwen thought simultaneously, their eyes narrowing as they exchanged a glance. Mary's bold declaration had put them in an awkward position, as she said that Peter was her boyfriend, so now they won't be able to say that Peter was their boyfriend, so they silently vowed to address her later.
"Oh, so Peter is your boyfriend?" Rias asked, feigning surprise. Her lips curled into a sly smile as she glanced at Mary, then at Peter.
"Yes, he is." Mary replied confidently, her grip on Peter's arm tightening, "Right, Peter?" She added, looking up at him with a sweet but pointed smile.
"Yes, I am her boyfriend." Peter said, playing along. He shot a quick glance at Liz and Gwen, who were now glaring at Mary. 'Haah, looks like Mary is going to be punished.' He thought, suppressing a smirk.
"Heh~ And guess what? Tomorrow, I'm moving in with him to our new house." Mary added, her tone teasing as she tried to provoke Rias. However, Rias merely raised an eyebrow, her expression one of mild amusement. On the other hand, Liz and Gwen's jealousy flared visibly.
'Haah, this girl is now in real trouble.' Peter thought, sighing inwardly as he watched Liz and Gwen step closer to Mary.
"Huh? What's going on?" Mary asked, her confusion evident as she looked at Liz and Gwen. But when she saw their jealous and angry expressions, she realized she had crossed a line, "Wait, I wasn't trying to make you feel jealous! Believe me, those words were meant for Rias!" She protested, but it was too late.
"Guys, we'll be taking Mary for a little chat." Gwen said with a sweet but dangerous smile. She grabbed Mary's right hand firmly, "Shall we, Liz?"
"Yeah, we need to have a *really* big talk with Mary." Liz agreed, taking hold of Mary's left hand.
"N-No! Peter, save me!" Mary cried out as Liz and Gwen began dragging her away. Peter simply smiled and waved, knowing full well that Mary had brought this upon herself.
"Hehehe! Those three are really close." Rias remarked, watching them leave through the door. She then turned back to Peter, her crimson eyes meeting his, 'His eyes... there's no lust.' She thought, surprised. This was the first time she had met a man who didn't look at her with desire or impure intentions. Instead, Peter's gaze was filled with curiosity, confusion, and a myriad of other emotions.
"You're different, Peter." Rias said softly, her smile gentle but intrigued.
"I could say the same for you, Rias." Peter replied, his tone calm but probing.
"How so? How am I different?" Rias asked, her head tilting slightly as she studied him.
"Who are you?" Peter countered, his voice steady.
"I told you, I'm Rias—" She began, but Peter interrupted her.
"I mean, what are you? Because I know you're not human." Peter said bluntly, his eyes locking onto hers. After observing her for a while, he was certain that she meant him no harm, but he needed answers.
Rias was momentarily taken aback. She hadn't expected Peter to see through her so quickly, "Looks like I can't hide from you." She said, a small smile playing on her lips, "I'll answer your questions, but not now. Meet me at this address at midnight tonight." She instructed, handing him a card with an address written on it.
"Hmm, okay." Peter said, taking the card and glancing at it briefly.
"Then, let's meet there." Rias said as she walked toward the door, "I'll be going now. Bye." She added, her voice trailing off as she exited the room, leaving Peter alone.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, a figure stood on a building not far from the school, observing everything through a pair of red eyes. He was an average-looking young man dressed in a butler's outfit, his expression serious.
"I have to report this to the master. " He muttered to himself. But just as he was about to leave, he felt an overwhelming presence behind him, freezing him in place.
"Do you have a death wish!" Rias's voice rang out, cold and menacing. She appeared behind him, her fangs elongated and her crimson eyes glowing with anger.
The man immediately recognized her voice and aura, "I-I-I'm sorry, Lady Rias! I was just following my master's orders!" He stammered, his face pale with fear. He knew better than to act tough in front of her; doing so would mean certain death.
