Prologue Life 0 The Shrine
I was riding my bicycle back from Morisawa's house when my manager Ravel, informed me that she had an immediate and urgent summons that promised a great reward. I asked Ravel for the address to the new client's house, and whether I should arrive via Magic Circle or or ride my bike. Personally I have been able to jump through a magic circle for over a year now but my original clients Mil-Tan and Mirasawa insist on my bike riding entrance since it is very nostalgic for them. Ravel informed me that the request came from a small shrine on Hokkaido and that obviously, I couldn't ride a bicycle to another island in Japan's territory.
I responded with mock anger, "Really Manager -san? Do you think I am stupid"
"Of course not Ise-Sama, I would never say that you are stupid" she said with the emphasis on the word 'say.' then she giggled for a few seconds and coughed."Um, Master, this is a very serious summons that asked specifically for you, and the Angeres family which holds the territory of Hokkaido not only allowed for you to be summoned to their territory, but the Archduke himself pleaded with me to send you immediately!"
"I can't even go home and sleep with Rias and Asia first?"
"No Ise, my darling, you must go now, besides tonight was supposed to be Mine and Koneko's turn to sleep with you, so this is an even greater sacrifice for me than it is for you.!"
"Okay, okay, i get it Ravel, I will make it up to you and Koneko as soon as I can. You know that I love being in the cat bird seat!" I replied. "Please send me the jump coordinates."
"They are coming through now Ise, and Ise, be careful and I love you." she said with a quaver in her voice.
I jumped immediately, and didn't catch the fear in her voice until well after I arrived. I came out of the magic circle in front of a new shrine that I had never seen before, it was dedicated to a moth? "That is really odd," I thought aloud"
There was a small golden statue of a moth in flight and below the statue were two very tiny, very accurate looking alabaster statues of fairies. I looked around and realized that I was already within the shrine and whatever god or spirit that the shrine was dedicated to was not angry that a High Class Devil was in it's shrine standing before the altar. The fairy statues were knelt in prayer , but instead of facing their Moth God, they were facing away, in fact, they were facing me directly, even though I was standing to one side of the altar.I was admiring the very lifelike appearance of the fairies, their wings were translucent and they had very big breasts for such small Fairies. In proportion, they were larger than Rias's breasts and maybe even larger than Akeno's.
While admiring them, both of their breasts bounced in unison as the fairies bowed even lower with their heads touching the marble slab they were kneeling on. They weren't statues at all, they were real fairies wearing white Kimonos that almost matched their alabaster skin, then they both spoke, or rather they sang to me in unison with the most beautiful voices I have ever heard, "Please Dragon God, We beg you, please save Japan from Go... their voices trailed away as if they were terrified of even saying the name of whatever they were afraid of. i started to interrupt them when they called me a God, because I am clearly a Devil and there are only 3 Dragon Gods, Great Red, Orphis, and Lillith, but the anguish in their song, no their prayer, was too heart wrenching to interrupt. They sang the song to me 3 times, each time their voices died away before they could tell me who or what was the unspeakable threat they were so afraid of.
I knelt before them and also bowed, just as low as they bowed to to me with my forehead in the sand of the beach where the shrine was located. I did not know who or what these fairies were, but I could tell in my spirit that they were ancient deities with mystical power even though I had never seen them before, or heard of them.
" What must I do?"
Life 1. Kuoh prefecture, but not Kuoh town
" You must cross the great void into our world and defeat a great evil, and the greatest threat japan, no the world, has ever faced."
"What? Void, Japan, World, What are you talking about?"
"Please hurry Dragon God, the worlds will only be linked for a short time and when they are linked again, it will be too late. Everyone in Japan and perhaps the world will be killed or left desolate and starving in what will be left on a barren planet,"
I heard the urgency in their voices and I saw the anguish and fear on their faces, the complete terror in their souls.
"Let's go! "I said without hesitation.
The Fairies sang again, but this time I could not understand their words even though, as a devil, I can speak and understand all known languages. My vision became blurred and I could hear no sound, and then.. Blackness.
I awoke from what seemed a dream. I was lying peacefully under a tree in a park I realized that it was nearly noon, even though what seemed like minutes ago, it was well after midnight. Also I wasn't kneeling on a beach on Hokkaido, I was in a park in the middle of town, Kuoh Town, Is this a dream? did someone mess with my memories? I was clearly home, in my own town... Wait, the park looked different, the town looked different. I was in the park where Yuma, rather Raynare murdered me, where I met my master and the love of my life, "Rias Gremory..." I realized I said her name out loud when I heard a familiar voice "Hmm, who is that?"
I heard another familiar voice, "More importantly, who are you? Do you go to school around here? I don't recognize the uniform?'
"And why are you lying on the grass on a Sunday afternoon with a school uniform on?" asked the first voice. I didn't detect hostility from these girls voices and oddly, I couldn't detect either of their Auras, so I turned around. Standing before me were Kiryuu and Irina. They were dressed casually and they were standing close together like they were lifelong friends.
"Quit joking Irina, you know who I am."
"I've never seen you before in my life whoever you are and, how do you know my name?" She paused briefly looked closely at me and asked, "Have you ever seen him before Aika-chan?"
"Nope, doesn't ring a bell Rene-chan, come on let's go!"
They don't know me? What the hell happened? Did someone do a mind wipe spell on my childhood friend and now girlfriend and, I have never heard Kiryuu Aika ever being referred to by her first name. Everyone called her Kiryuu except her parents, who come to think of it, I have never met. The girls walked away chatting, I had already been forgotten by both of them. I stood up slowly and concentrated on my wrist. My armor did not appear and there was no jewel, My arm just simply turned into the arm of a human sized Red Dragon. "Ddraig, partner, what the hell is going on?" Silence. I searched for his presence and could not find it. I widened my concentration and tried to pick up the aura of the woman I love the most, Rias, my master and fiance'. Nothing. "Balance Break!" I shouted. Nothing happened except I startled a few birds into flight and Kiryuu and Irina briefly looked back. They continued their walk away from me and Irina murmured, "Should we call the hospital, he may be an escaped mental patient."
"No," Kiryuu replied he is obviously harmless, he is probably a cosplayer or something. I have never seen that uniform before."
"Yeah, you are probably right Aika. Do you want to come to my house and talk about boys? Motohama winked at me in school, do you think that he likes me?"
"Really, the smartest, most popular guy in school winked at you? You should stick with Matsuda, he is at least in your league." said Kiryuu, " Besides, I heard from Student President Tsubaki that he has a crush on you."
Irina sighed, "I wish I had a boyfriend as good as Genshiro. He really loves you."
I listened until even my devil ears couldn't hear them anymore and sat wearily on the bench. I am really confused. Saji is in love with Kiryuu and apparently she is also in love with him. Motohama is the most popular guy in school and Irina likes him. Tsubaki, not Sona is the school president. Ddraig is silent and I can't feel his presence, and worst of all, I cannot put on my armor... "What the hell is going on!" I said out loud.
I started walking around the town and began to notice other changes. Kuoh Town is now Kuoh Prefecture. The old school building has been torn down and the new school building has been painted a different color. I finally walked home and instead of the 5 story mansion, the original house is there. The name on address is Hyoudou, and apparently Irina Shidou still lives next door. I cleared my thoughts and knocked on the door. My mother answered the door and asked, "Can I help you?'
I shook my head sadly and said, I'm sorry, I thought I knew someone who lives here."
My mother hesitated for a few minutes and asked, "Do you Live around here young man?
"Um no, I am apparently lost and I don't know where I even live anymore."
as I started to walk away, she called out, What is your name young man?" I couldn't tell her that my name is Issei Hyoudou, what if I actually live there? No, she clearly doesn't remember me, or know who I am. I thought desperately, and blurted out, "My name is Issei, Issei Gremory." Why did I tell her that, Do I miss Rias that much?
"Do you need anything to eat young man? You look like you lost your best friend, and you look hungry."
"Please I don't want to be an inconvenience to you." I said.
"Wait, it has been a long time since I had a young man visit me. I would welcome the company. My name is Mrs Hyoudou, Nice to meet you Mr Gremory."
"Oh, Nice to meet you Mrs Hyoudou," I said bowing, "and yes, thank you for inviting me to dinner, It seems that I haven't eaten since last night."
"Oh my," said my mom, or rather, Mrs Hyoudou, "Please come in."
I sat at the table I was so familiar with and had a simple meal with her. It was plain, Rice with a little chicken curry. and miso soup. after thanking her for the food, we started to eat.
"Um, Mrs Hyoudou, Where is your husband, is he working late?"
"No,' she said, "My husband passed away seventeen years ago."
I felt like Saiaorg had punched me in the stomach. "I... I... I am so sorry." I stammered.
She smiled with a sad expression in her eyes, and replied, "He died shortly after we lost our last child. He was our third try, and when he died in infancy, my husband never recovered. He slumped into a deep depression and one day he didn't wake up. The doctor said that he died of a heart attack, but I believe that he died of a broken heart."
I couldn't think of anything to say so I bowed while shedding tears. "I am so sorry mom.I didn't know" Then realizing what I said, I apologized again and weakly said, "It seem that you remind me of my own mother."
She smiled again and said, "You remind me of my husband Mr Gremory, What did you say your first name is?"
"Issei," I said.
"Issei... that was the name of our last child, he died before he was a year old." She stood up and pointed to a small shrine that I hadn't noticed before. There was a picture of my dad and a picture of me when I was a baby. I remember that picture, because she was so proud that she often showed it to me and my friends when they came over to visit. "I thought that was your name, it is an odd coincidence that you came to my door Mr Gremory, he died 17 years ago today." he sighed and asked, may I call you Ise? That was what I called my son."
"Yes," I said quietly, that would be an honor, all of my friends call me Ise."
"Well Ise, since you seem to be homeless, Would you like to stay the night? I have a spare room... It would have been my son's room. there is a Tatami mat and a small desk. I bought it when My son was born, I hoped that he would have a nice desk to do his homework on when he would have started school. I didn't have the heart to get rid of it, I guess I am a foolish old woman." she said and started to cry.
Before I knew it, I was hugging her in a tight embrace and calling her mother. Instead of being shocked or offended, she sank into my arms and hugged me just as tightly. "You remind me of what I Imagined My Ise would be as a young man. Please stay with me until you remember where you live... and come visit this old woman occasionally even after you do."
"Yes." I said crying, "I promise, thank you Mrs. Hyoudou."
"Please call me mom," she said still crying, "I know that you must have a family that loves you, but It just felt so right when you called me mom."
