In High School Dxd With Powers Of Nanatsu No Taizai - Chapter 23

Faced with Leo’s refusal, Sona quickly recovered. She had already tried numerous times to convince Leo but he always refused so she had already waited for his response.

“Come on. Linet-san is waiting for us. “Sona took Leo’s hand as they headed for the mansion.

Leo got carried away by Sona while he enjoying her smiling face.

In the days when Leo was with Sona, it was rare for her to act like a little girl. But sometimes she lets her guard down and let herself go.

“Sona-sama” Linet called as soon as she saw them arrive.

“Linet-san. Has Onee-chan called you? the ceremony will be tonight and I have to prepare myself” Sona said with a smile.

“Yes, I have already spoken with Serafall-sama so you have nothing to worry about. I have already sent the maids to prepare your dress” Linet smiled.

Before Sona left with Linet, she stopped and looked at Leo.

“Leo-san, will you come to the ceremony with me?” Sona asked. I was so excited that he completely forgot about Leo.

“Will Leo-sama accompany Sona-sama? Serafall-sama told me that it was your choice if you wanted to go to the ceremony or stay.” Linet asked since she didn’t know what Leo wanted.

Sona looked at Leo expectantly. Although she would deny it if her sister asked, she enjoyed the days she was with Leo. As a high-class devil, it was really strange for her to interact with other devils of her age, so she had few friends, one of those friends included Rias she hadn’t seen for several days and Leo she met recently.

“Sure, why wouldn’t I go?” Leo replied with a smile.

Sona nodded with satisfaction, wanted to introduce Leo to Rias… or maybe show off? She didn’t want to lose to Rias that she already had Akeno who would be her future queen, while she had no one.

“It seems I have to work harder to convince Leo …” Sona thought to herself, there was still enough time for Leo to change his mind. She didn’t want to waste the opportunity to have someone as capable as Leo as a member of her peerage but if he kept refusing, she would have no choice but to give up.

“If you are going to attend the party, you can’t go dressed that way,” Sona said as she looked at Leo from head to toe.

Short black shirt combined with gray shorts that reached to his knees and sports shoes.

He did not look bad but it was not suitable for a ceremony.

“I agree with Sona-sama. But you don’t have to worry, I had already prepared for this type of situation so I also ordered the maids to look for a set of clothes for Leo-sama.” Linet said with proudly.

“Mn … Kimono or a Suit?” Sona asked curiously.

“We prepared several sets. Casual Kimono, fighter Kimono, and even a Montsuki, as well, we have a great variety of suits. Chaqué, double-breasted and a dinner suit” Linet listed the types of sets that they had prepared.

“Hmm… a Montsuki is too much, it’s not a wedding. The Chaqué is for the day so you have to change it for a Frac and the dinner suit is not a good option… I will leave the choice to your liking Linet-san” Sona discarded the outfits that were not suitable for Leo. but still, she could not decide among everyone so he decided to trust Linet who was an expert on these issues.

“Oh! as expected from Sona-sama” Linet praised.

“Serafall-sama asked me to get a Montsuki and a Chaqué for Leo-sama. According to her and I quote ‘I would love to see Leo-chan with a Chaqué and Montsuki would surely he look so cute’. so at her request, I prepared these outfits for Leo-sama” Added Linet with a smile.

Leo could only see both of them in silence. Chaqué? Fac? What was that? you can eat it?

‘The two likes to dress people up huh?’ Leo sighed internally.

After a few minutes of discussion, Sona and Linet reached an agreement on what Leo would wear.

His opinion? They didn’t care.

“Leo-sama. let’s go to the room so you can get ready.” Linet didn’t take long and took Leo.

Once Linet and Leo entered the room, Leo sighed wearily and made a mental note of having clothes for next time.

“Linet-san, I’m going to bathe. You can put the clothes on the bed. when I come back I will put it on” Leo said and went to the bathroom.

Leo was in no hurry. Since his reincarnation, he had learned to value bath time so he took his time to shower and sat in the bathtub.

“Ahhh!!!… this is life” Leo muttered as while diving into the bathtub.

Faced with the feeling so refreshing, Leo closed his eyes and enjoyed the bath.

After bath. Leo felt renewed so he went to his room to change.

In the room, Linet was waiting for him.

At first, Linet wanted to change Leo personally but Leo refused and forced her out of the room to be able to change.

“You can pass” Leo called Linet when he finished changing.

“Then, let’s start,” Linet said after entering and she told him to sit down. They had already wasted enough time and she wanted Leo to be ready as soon as possible. It wasn’t just because she wanted to dress Leo…

Although she tried to hide it, Leo could still see how her eyes shone with emotion.

“Now, I need Leo-sama to stay still.” Linet smiled.

“Hmm,” Leo replied as he sat down.

Linet did not take long and took the set of clothes that he liked the most. Several candidates had not passed their selection since there was a multitude of perfectly folded clothes near where they were.

After adjusting Leo’s appearance, Linet nodded satisfied.

“Perfect” Linet said with a proud smile.

The outfit that Linet had chosen for him was a white long-sleeved shirt, a dark blue suit vest with two silver buŧŧons, the vest had gold-colored embroidery and the Sitri clan symbol on his left ċhėst.

For the pants, Linet selected rudimentary dark blue ones that perfectly matched his vest.

Looking in the mirror, Leo had to accept that he looked like a character from a Shoujo manga.

“Leo-sama looks good,” Linet said as she approached to accommodate Leo’s hair.

‘If I keep it up, I don’t think I can get dressed again alone.’ Leo thought.

Once Linet finished, he looked at Leo and nodded again with satisfaction. I was happy since Leo looked better than she had thought from the beginning.

“I’m sure Serafall-sama will love it…” Linet thought.

“If you excuse me Leo-sama, I will go to help Sona-sama. In the meantime make sure you don’t get dirty.” Linet warned. she did not want her work will spoil.

“Sigh… Fine” Leo agreed. He knew very well that he wouldn’t get anything if he argued with Linet.

As there was still enough time and Sona had not finished getting ready, all Leo could do was continue her self-study until it was time to leave.

Taking a book he had brought, entitled [Basic Teleportation Concepts], Leo sat down and created a mantle around his body. Leo decided to study while trying to keep the mantle on him to get used to perform several tasks simultaneously.

Since he already mastered the basics of magic, Leo wanted to learn teleportation magic although the concepts taught in the book were only to teleport through a magic circle something that all the children in the underworld had already learned.

In the end, Leo concentrated on keeping the mantle while immersing himself in his study.
