Hey, 30XX here. I couldn't get my mind of of the idea of the To Love Ru characters being Persona users, so my imagination started to form this. By the way, there won't be any To Love Ru in the first chapter, so yeah. This may seem more fit to be a Persona X The Devil is a Par-Timer crossover at first, but I think, in the long run, it'll be more deserving of the Persona X To Love Ru name. If you have any feedback, positive or negative, I would be glad to here it! Enjoy. Or don't. Your choice.
Minato Arisato glanced down at his watch as the train approached Sainan Station. 12:33. The train is running late. He thought to himself. He shifted his gaze to his three companions, two of which had fallen asleep. They were Sadao Maou, Shiro Ashiya, and Hanzo Urushihara, or, as they were known in their world, Demon King Satan Jacob, Demon General Alciel, and Demon General Lucifer. The three had escaped from their home world of Ente Isla through a portal that led to Earth to escape death at the hands of Emilia the Hero. Since then, they took Japanese names and Sadao started working at McDonalds, while Ashiya and Urushihara stayed at home, Ashiya to do housework and Urushihara to mostly just be lazy and spend their money on pointless junk online. The demons had previously lived in a small, one room apartment, but Minato had given his friends the chance to change that. Minato's parents had to move away overseas to America, due to work related reasons, but he did not want to leave Japan. MInato happened to be in luck, however. As he was only sixteen, he could not legally live by himself. So, he came up with an idea. Why not have Sadao be my legal guardian? Minato asked Sadao that question, in hopes that he did not have to leave his home country. Sadao did agree, but he didn't like the idea at first, as he would need to share a one room apartment with three guys. That's where Minato's plan came into play. His uncle, Rikuto Arisato, had passed away recently, and he left his house for Minato in his will. So, Minato told Sadao that he could live in a bigger house, and he wouldn't even have to the debt for it, as the house had already been payed off in full. Upon hearing this, Ashiya and Urushihara immediately jumped on the idea. Ashiya wouldn't have to worry about rent anymore, and, because of that, Urushihara would be able to have more leeway with what he bought online. Today was their first day in Sainan. They were going to check out the house, and also to determine what furniture from the old apartment they wouldn't need anymore. The train slowly screeched to a halt as it pulled up to the platform, and it's doors opened. Ashiya quickly roused Sadao and Urushihara, and The group set foot on the station platform. Sainan Station was a small train station, with a single open-air platform and a small building for purchasing train tickets. Minato could see the surrounding scenery of the area as soon as he stepped out of the train.
"Wow, this place looks really... empty," Minato said, with a dull emphasis on the last word. Coming from Tokyo, it makes sense that a small, suburban are, like Sainan, would feel kind of underwhelming at first glance.
"Nevermind that. We must arrive at our new house at once!" Ashiya declared. "I must-"
"Yeah, we know, Ashiya," interrupted Urushihara. "Let's just get a move on already."
"You just want to set up your computer and start browsing the internet as soon a possible don't you, hikikomori*?"
"Wha- That's not true! And don't call me a hikikomori! I have a social life, even if it is a rather weak one." Urushihara yelled, getting very irritated by the insult.
"Guys can we just go already?" Sadao asked, noticing that Ashiya and Urushihara were starting to cause a scene. "Your purple hair already sticks out enough Ururshihara, we don't need you to attract more attention than you already do." Urushihara and Minato both had rather strange hair colors. Urushihara's was purple, and Minato's was blue. Both seemed to have dyed their hair, but in fact it was just their natural color. It didn't really help them though, as they tended to get plenty of glares.
"I agree with Sadao," Minato said. "Let's go." The group followed Minato, who had pulled up a map on his phone, to their house. While they were walking, Minato suddenly stopped.
"Is something wrong, Minato?" Sadao asked, almost walking straight into him.
"A... butterfly?" Minato muttered under his breath.
"I don't see any butterflies, Minato, Urushihara said, looking around.
Weird. I could have sworn I saw a blue butterfly... Minato thought. Whatever, let's keep moving. They started moving again. After a few minutes, Minato stopped once again.
"Did you see another butterfly?" Asked Ururshihara in a very sarcastic, mocking tone.
"Ha ha, very funny. No, dumbass, we're here," Minato replied.
The house was rather small, but to the three demon, it was a mansion. The house had one main room on the first floor, a combination between a kitchen and living room area, but the second floor had multiple bedrooms, five in total. The house had a total of two bathrooms, one on the first floor, and one on the second.
"I don't believe it!" Sadao yelled, as he checked the bedrooms, "I won't have to sleep on the floor anymore!"
"And now, we can actually use the bathroom while Ashiya is having one of his stomach fits," Urushihara said, remembering the time that Ashiya ate too much stale udon, to save on money, and was stuck in the bathroom for days.
"Oh, shut up. You're lucky we're letting you live with us," Ashiya said coldly.
"Oh, yes, Minato. You have to start attending high school tomorrow correct?"Sadao asked, trying to change the subject.
"Yes, I do. I am only sixteen, you know."
"Curses!" Do you have any idea how much money school will cost? We don't have that kind of financial leeway!" Ashiya started yelling, being frugal as ever with the money Sadao had earned from his job as assistant-manager at McDonald's.
"Relax, Ashiya, relax," Sadao interjected. "His parents agreed to pay for his schooling. Anyway, your birthday wasn't too long ago, so you're still a first year?"
"Yeah. Until March**, I'm a first year. I still have four months until then." Minato said. "Oh yeah, by the way, Ashiya. My uncle left me one million yen, so I don't think we'll have to worry about money for a while."
"Really! That's great!" Ashiya exclaimed. "Now, even with Master's low-paying job, we can afford everything we need!"
Minato smiled. So, this is my new life, huh? Well, things will certainly be interesting from here on out.
Author's notes: *a hikikomori is a person who withdraws from social life, and tends to completely isolate themselves from others.
** The Japanese School Year ends in March, and begins in April.
So, that's the first chapter. As I said, no To Love Ru yet, but that will come into play in the next chapter. I hope you liked it, because, what's an author without his readers? Until next time, see ya!
