"I have something on my mind, senpai. I can't call this "something" interesting or new, but I certainly can claim it amusing. That is, amusing to me only. Hey, do you want me to share this amusing "something" with you? I can do this. I even will be glad to do this."

"I'm not so sure. You see, I'm not in the mood right now. If anything, I wish to be left alone for now. Yes, I want to go home and play that game I borrowed this morning. It's quite a masterpiece, if I were to be honest. The main heroine is very lovable, the plot is solid and the sex scenes are written by the best writer in the business. Say, maybe you want to talk about this game instead?"

"Is this the way you treat a cute girl like me, senpai? Talking about the filthy game made for perverts like you? I'm honestly shocked. I'm at loss of words. No, I actually am not, I have a lot of words on my mind, but those are not the words a cute girl should use. And thus, I will simply shout – pervert – in embarrassment and redirect this conversation towards the topic I wanted to discuss."

"Are you sure? I still have a lot to tell you. Also, don't judge the game as filthy simply because it has sex scenes. It is because of people like you that the game culture is still treated as something juvenile. I'm proud to love such games from the bottom of my heart."

"Hey, don't make me a bad guy here! I love games as much as you do, senpai. Sadly, games that you play and games that I enjoy are different like heaven and hell. As in, total opposites in every sense. So, this round is my win. However, I'm really concerned, senpai."

"With what exactly?"

"You. You act somewhat more perverted that usual. It's scary since you are a huge pervert already. In fact, today you are so big of a pervert, it's possible for you to set a new world record in perversity or something. I don't mean that I disapprove of this notions – senpai won't be senpai without this – but I'm concerned that you might attract some serious problems this way."

"Hmm? I'm not sure whether I should be happy for your concern or sad at how honest you are with me. And I'm not acting more perverted that usual. In fact, all of my so-called "perversity" is normal. I'm a perfectly healthy adolescent boy with simple desires, after all."

"Then, you won't mind a simple test, right? No, calling that a test would be stretching the definition too much, so let's call it a simple question instead. Now then, senpai, what is the color of the panties I'm currently wearing?"

"It's a trick question! They are stripped. Moreover, a classic ensemble of blue and white at that. It's quite bold of you. This senpai is concerned that you wear such a childish set of panties. On the other hand, I'm relieved that they don't have a bear or any other animal om them. I believe black lace would be better, though."

"Yep! As I expected. You are still a sad excuse of a human being. A worm with two legs and zero brain. An enemy of the womankind. My one and only senpai! Please, curl up in a dark corner and die."

"Harsh! That's too harsh! I'm hurt by your abusive words. I'm so hurt that I will die this very moment. I can be revived by touching a sacred item, though."

"What kind of a sacred item? Should I get you a Phoenix Down? I don't have any right now. I also lack any Revival Beads, so I'm not sure I can be of any help. So, what is it, senpai?"

"Breasts, of course! I want to touch your breasts!"

"Die! Die! Da-da-da-die!"

"Don't sound so happy while saying this, dammit! And don't turn this into a cheery sound, too. Shit! You looked so cute, I nearly fell for you. That was dangerous, you know? Very dangerous!"

"Are you hitting on me, senpai? I'm sorry, but I'm allergic to love at the moment… Also, speaking of the topic of my panties. I couldn't help but catch how you were stealing a few glances at them. No, that's quite wrong. I noticed that you were blatantly staring at them a few hundreds of them. If my calculations are correct, that was almost ten glances per minute. That must be a world record! And this also proves my point: you are acting more perverted than usual. I believe this great detective should solve this mystery."

"I looked at them so much because you have no sense of shame around me. I think you should stop sitting on my desk with an innocent expression. We both know that I have a perfect view of them. I'm sorry to disappoint, but this case is closed, young detective. Also, I can stop any time I want."

"And yet, you're still starring. If you're going to hide a leaf, hide it in a forest. Where there is no forest, you can use a pervert. So, there must be a reason for this. What is it, senpai? Tell me the truth!"

"I can't think of anything like this. If anything, it might be because I saw a boob-shaped cloud this morning. It put me in the correct mood to act the way I do. I think."

"Objection! It's impossible. I was with you since the morning, so you couldn't have seen the boob-shaped cloud. I'm sure of this. Your defense is riddle with holes, senpai!"

"I may have seen it during lunch, so…"

"Take that! There were no clouds over our school at the lunchbreak. I know because I was having the lunch outside. And this means, you couldn't have seen the boob-shaped cloud either. So, tell the truth!"

"You are having lots of fun, aren't you? Also, for all those talks about being a cute girl, you can't stop talking about this "boob-shaped cloud". It's pretty indecent, don't you think?"

"I'm not a cute girl right now, but a great detective. So, will you tell me the truth or not, senpai? Consider your answer carefully, or I will get mad for real this time. I will get so mad I might throw away all of your dirty magazines into burnable trash when I got home."

"I am trying to assert myself."

"… What?"

"I am trying to assert myself. I am trying to assert the fact that I can still feel attraction towards opposite gender. I do so by looking under your skirt. It may be strange of me, so I apologize for this and anything I will do in advance."

"I see. If this is the way you feel, I don't think I have the right to judge. No, I certainly shouldn't judge you for this, senpai. It's okay to be attracted towards boys these day. I think it's about time for you to come out of the closet."

"I like girls! There are good jokes, bad jokes and really bad jokes! It's just that this strange feeling I had today while goofing around with my friends during the lunchbreak. I saw a girl and felt really strange."

"Having a stroke at this age, senpai? You poor thing…"

"I may be older than you, but I'm not that old. So, what is your opinion?"

"You can have more friends. I mean, more normal friends. Not those perverts you mingle with. Honestly, looking at the three of you makes me feel like I'm reading a manga whose writer was forced to wrap the plot in four issues because his work wasn't selling good enough. I always have this kind of feeling."

"Not about that. Also, stop those verbal assaults at me and my friends. I might be used to this treatment, but their hearts are as fragile as glass. Sure, there are people who might appreciate this, but I'm 99-percent sure that they are not among those ranks."

"Are you sure? There is still one percent of possibility left."

"I am sure. So, what is your opinion about this feeling I had while admiring a girl?"

"What was the name of this girl? I want to attach a name to this feeling."

"R-Rias Gremory, I believe."

"Oh… How interesting. It's very interesting, Ise-senpai. I can't be sure for now, so let's talk about this later. You need some time to get a grip, after all. For now, let's discuss this "something" I wanted to tell you about."

"Sure. What is this?"

"Do you know a lot about the occult, senpai?"

"Occult? Things like vampires, demons, witches and whatnot?"

"Yes. Indeed. Say, what if I were to tell you that the creatures from various myths and legends actually exists, influencing the humanity from the shadows?"

"I would say… Are you nuts, Odagiri?"
