"Pretty much. They also have the skill of Promotion. If they are in enemy territory then they can take the characteristic of one of the other pieces." Rias felt like she was in teaching mode now and seemed happy to be able to explain this.
"So who's the other person that's here? I feel their magic over there." Ritsuka pointed towards one of the closed doors.
"Eh? You can feel them?" Rias took a step back.
"Well… yeah. I mean the bounded field you set up is much better than the one I make but I can tell what's going on when I step inside it. And to think I couldn't even do this much even after three years." Ritsuka sighed to himself. "So much to learn to do."
Rias bit her lip. She didn't know how to approach this subject so soon. Gaspar wasn't especially a social being. He was absolutely terrified of people and Rias didn't want to push him into meeting new people.
"Are they really shy?" Ritsuka brought up which Rias immediately took as her lifeline.
"Yes! I mean… yes, they're shy. He kind of had some tough times. Maybe later you could meet." Rias coughed slightly.
"Neat. Is there anything else I should know about?" Ritsuka stopped looking at the door focusing back on Rias.
"Well, when devils want to settle conflicts we have what are known as Ratings Games. Basically two devil Peerage groups fight over a certain issue. Whomever topples the King wins the argument. I'm truthfully simplifying this more so than I should but since we're unlikely to be thrown into a game anytime soon it's best to give the bare bones." Rias summarized as she switched the last chart she made to one that said any questions.
"Okay. I think I've got it down now." Ritsuka nodded to himself. "So… what do you want to know?"
Everyone turned to him a little confused by what he meant. Akeno went to ask the first thing that came to mind but was stopped by Kiba. Koneko looked to Rias who was biting her thumb in thought.
"Where do you come from?" Rias asked first.
"While I was born in Tokyo, after donating blood and before the end of summer break, I was scouted out by mages due to my compatibility with their project of summoning spirits and spiritron transference. Due to that I was sent to a secret Antarctic base called Chaldea which monitors the survival of humanity as a whole." Ritsuka explained as everyone just stared at him in disbelief.
"Uh… there's no such thing as Chaldea there. I'm pretty sure that there are gods living there right now." Rias pointed out.
"Okay then that's gonna make this story very difficult to believe." Ritsuka chuckled as he rubbed his head. "So one of their projects is known as reyshifting. Basically, it's kind of a dimensional time travel allowing those with high compatibility to travel into different points of human history."
"Not lying?" Koneko stared into Ritsuka's eyes to see if he was kidding or joking around. He wasn't. She immediately held her head in her hands unsure what to make of this at all. Kiba was just confused and Akeno looked lost. Rias, for the most part, seemed to just take this as fact though her hands were clenching her skirt wringing it in her grasp.
"Nope. That is the truth. So I am a dimensional time traveling mage and you are the only ones who know. Congratulations." Ritsuka gave everyone a round of applause.
"I see… let's call it a day then." Rias sighed as she activated a small warp portal beneath their positions and the five immediately transferred back to the main house.
Ritsuka gave everyone a small salute and travelled upstairs to his room.
'Oh that could have gone better…' Ritsuka mentally lambasted himself.
The looks on everyone's faces made him cringe since they eventually stopped disbelieving him as he kept on talking. He really wanted to avoid this situation but he was far too nice to continually avoid it. Maybe omit some things but never outright lie. At this point they had been friendly so there wasn't a point to not telling any of them the truth.
Koneko had curled into a ball lost in deep thought. Kiba was still confused. Akeno was still looking lost about what he had said. Road accepted it but looked highly uncomfortable about it. He wasn't sure how things would turn out. Setting up the bounded field, Ritsuka hit the bed and fell asleep.
"So… how much do we believe about this?" Rias asked her Peerage as they sat in the living room.
"About the fact that our new friend and ally is a time traveler? That he comes from a different dimension? That he has eaten dragon… which now that I say out loud I'm curious about how they taste as well." Kiba listed out his considerably poignant questions.
"Told truth. Wasn't prepared." Koneko sighed as she rubbed her eyes from frustration. "Too much to think about."
"It wasn't that bad… just found out that the guy who gets all of us is from another dimension all together… and that he's a super spy of some sort probably. Fufufu… I'm not sure what to think." Akeno harshly sighed as she laid face first on the couch.
"Do… do I tell my brother? Do I even do anything?" Rias asked everyone else… only to get shrugs and uncertain looks. "This is far too stressful right now… already have enough to think about with Sona interested in him now because of her stupid ideal of wanting a mate who is smarter than her and I also have to deal with Riser being a damned pig that should be skewered. This… this might be too much."
"Maybe… maybe we ignore it. I mean… at the moment he's pretty much already our friend. It's not out of necessity. I mean, what does this even change?" Kiba pointed out.
