Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 44

*Two days later.*

It was class time, but the Occult Club office was packed with students. There were nearly two dozen faces in that place and the atmosphere was a little tense. The source was the small dispute between two childhood friends and rivals. The source of these two high-class female devils was a young man at her school, missing, presumably dead, for two days.

"but you hurt my pride as president of the student council, who also swears to protect the student at this school. The nerve you have... "

It was really rare for Sona Sitri to give a poisonous speech out loud to Rias Gremory, her childhood friend. However, this time it was little, because someone she wanted disappeared, probably dead, because of Rias Gremory's reckless plan.

Rias looked away, not looking into her best friend's eyes, because she was angry and embarrassed. She was never reprimanded like that, except by her mother. Not even the father or the older brother have it before. And then there was the fact that she had done something that really offended her best friend. Oh, Rias Gremory knew how her best friend had an eye on Gilgamesh, but Sona had given her the chance to invite the official King of Kuoh to her peers because of their long friendship. And now, she's screwed it up because of her reckless plan.

At that moment, Rias wished she could hear Akeno and invited Gilgamesh as usual instead of planning to kill him at the hands of Fallen Angel. But unfortunately... what happens... happens. There was no going back to the past, even with magic. And now she's made a big mistake that threatens her life-long relationship between her and Sona Sitri.

After Sona finished her long, spiteful remarks, the ORC (Occult Research Club) office was silent. The room was filled with embarrassment, so thick it could be cut easily like a hot knife through butter.

If only he were a normal student, Sona Sitri wouldn't be ballistic like that. If only she were a normal student, Sona would scold Rias because her pride hurt as Student Council president.

Gilgamesh was someone Sona really wants in hers peers. Gilgamesh has potential, even limitless. He was very smart, for a commoner he was always number one in the third year. He always stands straight Like in class. He has a good track record. Good comprehension skills. Above average, borderline genius in terms of IQ.

*TOC Toc*

The tension was cut off by a tapping sound. Sona and Rias' eyes narrowed at that. There was a barrier that commands the human being with subtle influence of the mind, but someone knocked on the door. Of course, this made them wary and surprised.

Sona sent a subtle look to hers servants, all except Riruko Nimura have similar thoughts with their [king]. Riruko Nimura was the fledgling and the newest servant of [Pawn] belonged to Sona Sitri. His knowledge of the supernatural and its intricacies was still superficial. It was understandable that Riruko didn't know what really happens.

Rias also exchanged a subtle look with hers servants. And at that moment, everyone was ready for action.

Pushing the cup lightly.

"You can come in," Sona allowed whoever slammed the door to enter.

The door opened slowly. What appears behind the door sent a wave of surprise to everyone in the room.

Blond hair in a golden hue. Crimson eyes like blood. Tall construction that was taller than the Japanese average. Beautiful face. And sophisticated aura, only someone was born with it. The one who entered the Occult Club office was none other than the missing, presumably dead student, Gilgamesh.

"Excuse me...oh, am I disturbing an important meeting between ORC and SC?" The young man asked lightly. There wasn't an ounce of pity in his tone.

"Gilgamesh-san?" Sona took a stunned breath. She was surprised because this was something she couldn't predict.

"Eh, Gilgamesh-senpai? But..." Riruko also spoke in surprise. However, a quick glance from Tsubaki Shinra stopped her, silently.

"Yes. Sorry for the invasion. I want to report my absence for the past two days."

"You can sit down. I'm also curious about your sudden disappearance, Gilgamesh-san. You've never skipped a class unannounced since you enrolled here," Sona said.

Gilgamesh sat in the empty seat calmly. His body language showed ease, as if the tension in the room didn't bother him. Furthermore, everyone could clearly see how Gilgamesh deliberately ignored the Occult Research Club.

He knew?

That question rang out in several heads in the room. Some have already made the point that Gilgamesh was not a normal human. After all, he ignored a barrier existence outside the SC office.

"Here Gilgamesh-kun..." Reya Kusaka placed a cup of tea on the table in front of Gilgamesh.

And the mysterious young man took an elegant sip. "Very well, Kusaka-san. This tea is finely brewed." Gilgamesh praised Sona's [bishop] with a sincere tone.

When Gilgamesh heard, red spots spread across her pale cheeks. The sudden rush of blood was one of excitement. She was shy of Gilgamesh's honest compliments.

It was an open secret that Gilgamesh was more famous, more a gentleman than Kiba Yuuto. His handsome appearance didn't have a girlish aura like Kiba's pretty face. More than that, he never refused the girls to go out, unlike Kiba. Although he was Kuoh's number one official gentleman, he made no enemy of the male student population. The secret was when he was asked out by the female population. Whenever he was invited, he would drag some male students with him. From his second-year servants, Sona found out a little about Gilgamesh. In fact, he turned Tomoe Meguri's younger boy taste into him.

Furthermore, Gilgamesh was also famous around freshmen and seniors. To freshmen, he was known as a helpful senior and there wasn't a small amount of female freshmen becoming his fans, and male freshmen respecting him. In last month's circle, Gilgamesh was known as a genius because he understood the senior year curriculum, even though he was only the third year. Sona knew this and discovered that Gilgamesh had majored in mechanics and philosophy at the University of Tokyo.

Gilgamesh was also close to the Student Council and school staff due to his helpful nature in maintaining school equipment. For Sona, who was 100% serious about her job as student council president, Gilgamesh was someone she really liked. To a normal human, Gilgamesh was like a polished jewel in Sona Sitri's eyes. When Sona discovered that he was the bearer of sacred gear, her desire to possess it increased even further.

Now, Sona discovered that Gilgamesh was more than a normal human. She had become wary of him, of course, but her desire to get him to join her grew as well.

"Excuse me, Gilgamesh-kun..."

Rias Gremory finally opened her mouth. However, Gilgamesh still ignored her and sent Sona a polite look. Noting this, Sona suppressed her smile and pushed the rim of her glasses slightly.

"Then let's start our business, Kaichou."

Everyone in the Occult Research Club narrowed their eyes at Gilgamesh's blatant rudeness. The Student Council members wore a varied expression: Tsubaki raised an eyebrow in curiosity. Momo Hanakai gave Gilgamesh a strange look. Tsubasa Yura has an amused gleam in her eyes. Tomoe, Reya and Riruko cast a worried look at Gilgamesh, after all he had offended the descendant of Duke Gremory in the room, however, deliberately.
