"My Sacred Gear's greatest feature is... its power of Precognition, one of many I have. This power has let me view some past, present, and future events that might happen in the future... Think of them as possible dreams, and no, I didn't see anything you should be ashamed of."
I thought to myself,
Damn, I saw everything, and I mean everything, hehe!
I continued, "Cough, any questions?"
This should placate how I know shit.
The girls quickly covered their privates, like that would do anything, then Rias said, "First, out-loud again!"
God damn it, Big G!
She continued, "I... I need to know... Will I have to marry that man?"
Damn, she has that sadness in her eyes that I hate to see in people, so let's make some lemonade.
I gave her my punchable face, crossed my arms, and joked, "Do you like your chicken grilled or fried? Don't worry about that little bitch! He won't stand a chance... I'm his perfect counter! Why do you ask, my lady? This is why!"
I knew Rias was testing me by asking that question briefly to see if I knew Hot-wings in the future. So I bent down into my school bag, pulled out my silver holy cross, and grabbed Kiba's favorite Holy Bible. Sitting up, I opened it like I was reading.
Buzz~!
Then, with my other hand, I created a golden Light Spear, covered in Holy Lightning.
This just drained the hell out of me! Good thing I was sitting down.
With my smug smile, I said bluntly, "With the power of Heaven, the so-called Immortal Phoenix is a common farm chicken for me. And how do we put out a fire chicken? With Holy Water! Mwahaha~!"
I quickly put everything away because my Peerage backed away from me like their asses were on fire, grabbing their foreheads — oops!
Rias panicked slightly, "I can't kill him, his House will start a war!"
I waved my hands. "Nah, that dumbass will come looking for you in less than a year, for an unofficial Rating Game. He really was stupid!"
I thought, As soon as he thought he was going to get his Wife stolen, he came running like a bitch!
Rias's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Why would he feel like he was being challenged?! Who is it?"
She looked excited for some reason. Is it a girl's fantasy to find romance that strong, or was it those stupid novels I've been selling her?
I covered my mouth and thought... because I just realized I sent Issei to Sona!
Um... Can I still make lemonade here, when I brought limes to the party?
Rias pouted, then squinted at me like I was a bad boy — which I totally am.
"You've been very chatty today and forthcoming. So why, all of a sudden, do you shut your mouth and say nothing?"
Did I just eat a ghost pepper? Because I was sweating badly and looking like a criminal.
She pressed further, "Is it you? That's why you're quiet?"
I blurted out on impulse, "Nope! Because if you know who it is, you might fuck it up — and then no chicken fight!"
NAILED IT! Please believe me. Please, please, just smile and be cool, Matsuda!
Rias crossed her arms under her admittedly big breasts and asked, "You do seem to talk out loud around me. Must you find me attractive? That's why you do it?"
Rias, you're a narcissist!
I answered flatly, "No. I think my Father cursed my mouth with black magic."
Yes, I pouted… and I didn't say which Dad.
Continuing with my stupidity, I added, "Oh, and before you make that pretty head explode, don't try and change my name like with Koneko and Kiba. It would be super bad for you."
A little white lie won't hurt here — Rias is really bad at giving names.
Her fun countenance faded as she asked, "What, why?!"
"If your Soul (Devil's body) can handle the backlash from the Throne of God, in 7th Heaven, then go ahead. For your own good, you don't need to know too much about this..."
My heart grew worried about Heaven and the Underworld pulling a fast one on me. I spoke seriously to Rias, "I need you to promise me something. You took me in as your Devil servant, and must take responsibility as a Gremory who loves their family. This will be very hard for you to bear. My identity is special, but I will protect you — even from Heaven."
I took a breath, then continued, "Phew… Rias, promise to never ever abandon me to anyone else, not even if your older Brother asked you to release me. Don't abandon me! Promise please!"
I didn't know why I was saying this, but my damn heart was hurting — old traumas perhaps.

From the others' view in the room:
They saw Matsuda giving his demands to Rias, with misty eyes glowing with golden light.
Akeno confirmed the pain she saw at her shrine home that day.
Kiba was on guard because of Matsuda's change in personality.
And Koneko was...
---
Suddenly, Mofu Mofu~! Why is Koneko rubbing my shaved head?!
In her flat tone, Koneko said, "It's alright, you're a good-boy..."
I looked like a clueless lost child, and couldn't figure this loli out.
Rias just gave me a warm smile and, with her noble lady bravado she thinks is cool, said,
"I, Rias Gremory, give you my promise to not ever throw away my favorite new servant! Welcome to the family, Matsuda Tanaka... Please take care of me..."
Those words sent chills down my lower-back for some damn reason!
Kala, I need help.
