The Player is a Part-Timer

Chapter 9: Unruly Introduction

Thinking a simple human can defeat a high-class devil was absurd. But thinking things through, Rias would go against Gillian, who casually beat up Fallen angels, mimicked his swordsmanship effortlessly, and on top of that, beat up Riser — a supposed immortal Devil — with relative ease!

Albeit, Riser was cocky and had underestimated Gillian — a "simple" human — last time, a case not likely to happen next time.

"She used holy water to weaken him; she most likely carries some with her even now." Humans were the weakest race, true, but that didn't mean they couldn't use trickery to compensate for their weakness. For Gillian, this was extra true.

Hell, if not for his devil senses and the multiple reports stating she was a human with a strong soul, he wouldn't believe others depicting her as such.

"... the rating game might be called off, and we have no chance to cancel the marriage if we get injured before it even starts!"

"Tch! Fine. I will back down, for now..."

"Good choice!" Gillian pointed at Rias, forming a gun with her hands and winking; this, of course, earned an even more profound glare.

"Fine! Fine! Don't need to give me that look. I'll behave, I promise." Gillian raised her hands in surrender, her smile up all along.

"You better! Now then, if you may, you owe me an explanation."

"Tea and cake first..."

With that, despite the displeasure of Rias, they proceeded deeper into the courtyard, the members setting up the necessary equipment and Akeno making the tea, preparing some of her delicious cakes.

...

"Ah! As always, your tea is splendid, Akeno-chan."

"Ufufufu! Naturally."

"Now, you can start your explanation. How do you know about this place? How come you showed up in my brother's car? How can you even drive it when it runs on devil energy?" Rias crossed her leg elegantly — yet still obviously impatient — giving the picture of an impatient Diva who was denied from her dessert and was now grouchy for not getting her daily sweets.

"Mmmm... Answering your questions. First! How do I know this place? Easy! The miracle of GPS, or whatever its devil equivalent is. It showed the way." After sipping her tea, the girl opened one finger in her clenched fist. "The address of this place was amongst the saved addresses. And being the satellites see this place, I could navigate here."

"This place is protected by barriers and magic to hide it and make trespassers impossible to enter! It cannot be you...!"

"Don't forget who the car belongs to. It might have a mechanism implemented that makes these "barriers" recognize the owner and let it pass..."

"Tch! I suppose that's true..." it was annoying, but she was right; the barriers setup might have recognized the car and let it pass, without regard to whoever was driving it. A flaw they need to correct later.

"The second question comes... How come I got that car? Easy, I won it through a bet! After visiting me, I made something akin to a deal with your brother. And thus, I got the car as a prize — and a few more unspecified things I would rather not bore you with right now..." Gillian folded her fingers before her mouth, offering a devilish smirk. This statement of her made everyone's eyes widen in disbelief.

"Yo-You beat Maou-sama! How!?" Issei shouted in disbelief.

"I doubt you can beat my brother; he is the Maou. It cannot be that a simple human could beat him just like that."
