I want to be noblesse in dxd

The day had been filled with serene moments and light-hearted teasing as Raizel and Akeno enjoyed their time together. As evening approached, they parted ways, knowing they would meet again shortly for the meeting, in Issei's house.

'Gathering in Issei's Room'

The members of the Occult Research Club, along with Raizel, gathered in Issei's room, which had become their unofficial meeting spot for discussing club matters.

Rias sat gracefully at the center, exuding her usual authority, while the others took their places around the room. Issei, of course, was nervously fidgeting, trying to maintain his composure in the presence of so many attractive women.

As Raizel and Akeno entered, all eyes turned to them, curiosity evident in their gazes.

---

Rias, ever perceptive, leaned slightly forward, her crimson hair cascading over her shoulder. "So, Raizel, Akeno… how was your outing today?"

Akeno smiled sweetly, a hint of mischief in her eyes. "Oh my~ It was lovely, Rias. We had a wonderful time."

Raizel, his expression as composed as ever, simply nodded.

Rias's lips curled into a knowing smile. "I'm glad to hear that. It's nice to see you both enjoying yourselves."

Rias, unable to contain his curiosity, leaned in. "So, uh… what did you guys do?"

Akeno chuckled softly. "Oh, just a little exploring, some tea, and... other things."

Raizel, catching the teasing tone, added calmly, "It was quite eventful."

'The Tease'

Rias's smile grew more playful. "I must say, Akeno, you've been spending quite a lot of time with Raizel lately. Should we expect any… announcements?"

Akeno's cheeks flushed lightly, but she maintained her composure. "Oh, Rias, don't get ahead of yourself."

Raizel, ever the gentleman, responded in his usual calm tone. "Our time together has been… enlightening."

Issei, sensing the teasing atmosphere, tried to interject. "Wait, announcements? What kind of announcements?"

Kiba chuckled, enjoying the light-hearted banter. "Issei, you're as dense as ever."

Koneko, sitting quietly in the corner, added her usual blunt observation. "They're flirting."

---

Rias, satisfied with the teasing, decided to shift the conversation to more pressing matters. "Alright, everyone, back to business. We need to discuss the contracts and our progress with them."

The atmosphere in the room grew more serious as Rias outlined the current state of their contracts. Each member reported their progress, discussing their successes and any challenges they had faced.

Raizel just listened attentively.

---

'Future Plans'

As the discussion continued, Rias brought up their future plans. "We've made good progress, but we can't afford to be complacent. Our recent success in the Rating Game has brought us attention, and we need to capitalize on that."

Raizel, his gaze steady, added, "You've all shown great potential. With continued effort and focus, you'll only grow stronger."

Rias smiled, appreciating the encouragement. "Thank you, Raizel. Your support means a lot to us."

---

'Wrapping Up'

As the meeting drew to a close, the mood lightened once again. Rias stood, her presence commanding as she addressed the group. "Great work, everyone. Let's keep up the momentum."

Akeno, standing beside Raizel, smiled warmly. "And don't forget to take some time for yourselves. Balance is key."

Issei, still processing the earlier teasing, muttered, "Yeah, balance… right."

Kiba patted Issei on the back. "Don't worry, Issei. You'll get there."

Koneko, finishing the last of her snacks, simply said, "Good meeting."

---

'Parting Words'

As the group began to disperse, Rias turned to Raizel and Akeno. "Thank you for your contributions today. It's clear that your presence has been a great asset to us."

Raizel gave a slight bow. "It's my pleasure to assist. I look forward to seeing how you all continue to grow."

Akeno, her usual playful demeanor returning, added, "And perhaps next time, we'll have even more interesting stories to share."

With that, the group parted ways, each member reflecting on the meeting and the bond they shared. Despite the challenges they faced, they knew that together, they could overcome anything.

And for Raizel and Akeno, their connection only continued to deepen, promising more shared adventures and moments of growth in the days to come.

'A Walk Home Under the Moonlight'

As the meeting in Issei's room concluded and the members of the Occult Research Club began to make their way out, the night had already settled over the town. The air was cool, and the streets were softly lit by streetlights and the gentle glow of the moon.

Raizel, ever the gentleman, approached Akeno with his usual calm demeanor. "Akeno, may I have the honor of walking you home?"

Akeno's eyes sparkled with warmth, and a soft smile graced her lips. "I'd like that, Raizel."

---

The two stepped out into the bustling night, the streets alive with the hum of life. Couples strolled hand in hand, friends laughed over late-night snacks, and the air was filled with the faint sounds of distant music and conversation.

Despite the liveliness around them, Raizel and Akeno found a peaceful rhythm in their walk, their presence commanding attention yet wrapped in their own bubble of tranquility.

Raizel glanced at the night sky, the stars twinkling above. "It's a beautiful night."

Akeno nodded, her gaze soft. "It truly is."

Raizel's eyes met hers, his voice gentle. "The night has a way of revealing things we often overlook in the light of day."

Akeno chuckled softly. "Such as?"

He paused for a moment, considering his words. "The subtle beauty of the sky, the quiet strength of those around us like stars in the night sky, and sometimes, the things we feel but don't always say."

---

As they walked, the conversation shifted to more personal reflections. Akeno's tone grew contemplative. "You know, Raizel, since you've come into our lives, things have changed. You've brought a sense of calm and strength to our group."

Raizel's expression remained composed, though his eyes softened. "I've merely tried to help where I can. You all have your own strength and potential. It's been a privilege to witness it."

Akeno's smile grew warmer. "You're too modest. You've done more than you realize."

They continued their walk in comfortable silence, the sounds of the city fading into the background as they focused on each other.

After a few moments, Akeno couldn't resist adding a playful tease. "Though, I must say, your calm demeanor can be quite frustrating at times. It's like nothing fazes you."

Raizel raised an eyebrow, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Is that so?"

Akeno nodded, her eyes glinting with mischief. "Yes. It makes teasing you a challenge, but also… more rewarding when I manage to get a reaction."

Raizel chuckled softly, a rare sound that sent a flutter through Akeno's heart. "Perhaps I'll have to make it more of a challenge for you."

Akeno laughed, her voice light and melodic. "I look forward to it."

As they neared Akeno's home, the bustling noise of the town began to quiet, replaced by the serene sounds of the night.

The cool breeze carried the scent of blooming flowers, adding a touch of magic to the moment.

Akeno glanced at Raizel, her expression thoughtful. "Thank you for walking me home, Raizel. It's been a lovely evening."

Raizel inclined his head slightly. "The pleasure was mine, Akeno. Spending time with you is always… comfortable and enjoyable."

Akeno's cheeks flushed faintly, but she maintained her composure. "You have a way with words, don't you?"

Raizel's smile was subtle but genuine. "Only when the moment calls for it."

As they reached Akeno's doorstep, the two paused, the night wrapping around them in a cocoon of stillness. Akeno turned to face Raizel, her eyes soft and filled with gratitude.

" bye-bye and Goodnight, Raizel," she said softly.

Raizel nodded, his gaze steady. "Goodnight, Akeno. Rest well."

With a final, lingering look, Akeno turned and entered her home, leaving Raizel standing beneath the moonlight. He watched her disappear inside, a sense of peace settling over him. Turning away, he began his own walk back, the quiet night accompanying him as he reflected on the evening's moments.
