Chapter 247: 247: Chad
Chess is often associated with intelligence because it demands planning, pattern recognition, and the ability to think several moves ahead. Over time, this reputation evolved into a common belief that anyone who plays chess is smart, even though the game itself relies more on practice and strategy than innate intelligence.A clear example was the crimson-haired woman playing chess right now.
"You have improved, Akeno," Rias said as she moved her piece, watching Akeno’s troubled expression.
She was anything but intelligent or smart. In reality, she was far more impulsive and reckless than most people.
The Evil Pieces and the Rating Games were created based on chess, which sparked widespread interest among devils, especially within the noble houses.
"Haa! I want to see darling right now!" Irina groaned as she leaned against the sofa, staring at the ceiling.
As the Rating Game between Sona and Rias was about to begin, both peerages were making their preparations. However, Yusuke had not come to the Underworld with them. Instead, he was somewhere else with the other women. According to him, he wanted to explore the Underworld with them, and he was also afraid of accidentally creating another yandere.
"Woah, Asia, I didn’t know you were so skilled at drawing!"
Xenovia’s loud exclamation drew the attention of all the women. When they looked over, they saw Asia holding a pencil and drawing on a sheet of white paper.
On it was a remarkably realistic portrait of Yusuke. He was staring off to the side with a calm expression, his face neutral and composed. Yet within those eyes was a depth that seemed almost alive, as though one could glimpse the intense affection hidden beneath the surface.
Just looking into his eyes was enough to make the busty blue-haired tomboy feel wet between her legs.
"I am not really that good. I only started learning recently, hehe."
Asia instinctively tried to hide the drawing, feeling embarrassed. She let out a shy laugh before continuing, "I always think about Yusuke-sama, so to alleviate my longing, I started drawing his image. Surprisingly, it makes me feel calmer."
"No, you are very talented at this, Asia." Akeno and Rias abandoned their chess game and gathered around her. Rias gently patted Asia’s head as she spoke in a warm tone, "I am sure Yusuke will love it when he sees it."
Although Asia sometimes hid a surprisingly nasty and sinister side beneath her sweet exterior, there was one strange thing about her. She grew on people very easily. Almost every woman around her felt the urge to protect her and shower her with affection.
Well, with the exception of Katerea. That woman nearly pissed herself every time she saw Asia.
"Rias-oneesama, really?" Asia’s green eyes sparkled.
"Mmm, I am sure of it!" Rias nodded before turning to the other two Church girls. "Have you adapted to your new identities yet?"
A couple of days ago, Rias had performed the reincarnation ceremony and turned the three girls into members of her peerage.
