Chapter 2: The Mission

This story took place in the past time, after he conquered Dokoro (human form), who is planning to commit suicide and Urara, who wants to be an adult to help her grandfather. Katsuragi Keima continued his mission with the assistance of Elsie, his (fake) sister and Dokoro. After the successful capture of Urara and Dokoro and after convincing Urara's grandpa to stop the construction, Katsuragi ordered Elsie to observe the situation in his school while Dokoro and he will go to the Akanemaru.

"Elsie, observe the situation in my school and call me when there are any changes and be careful. Use your hagoromo to let yourself be invisible. Maybe somebody will attack you all of a sudden." Katsuragi looked at her with a serious yet a little worried face while holding her left arm. Elsie noticed Keima's worried face and thus she didn't want him to be worried about her.

"No need to worry Kami-Onii-sama, I'll do my best to be helpful to you" Elsie nodded and smiled with a cheerful face. Katsuragi flinched after he heard her saying those lines.

"I-I'm not worried at all you bug demon, hurry up and go!" Katsuragi said with a little embarrass looking face. He immediately removed his hands away while looking away from her.

"Hai. Hai." Elsie smiled widely at him. She waved while showing her usual smile before she flew off. Keima and Dokoro watched her flew off for a few seconds before they departed too.

Elsie then went straight to the school while Katsuragi, together with Dokoro went to the Akanemaru (an old boat that was displayed beside the Maijima Seaside Park). Before they were able to go inside in the Akanemaru, they felt a slightly strong earthquake, about rating 3.

"(An earthquake?)" Keima mumbled as they went inside. He doesn't seem to be worried nor shock but instead he just asked himself calmly while observing the situation.

"It's not that strong Onii-chan. I think it's just rating 3." Dokoro said calmly while they are about to enter the Akanemaru. Like Keima, she doesn't look like worried at all nor shock in the sudden earthquake.

They went in the old dark boat where you could hardly see something. When they reached the bottom part of the boat where they could find a table with two holes in it, they went near to it and they put the orbs (the one Katsuragi and Dokoro held) in the machine where there are two holes in it. The two orbs then glowed, lightening the dark boat, and after that a skull appeared in front of them. For the devils, they would surely recognize this mysterious skull but for Keima, who is a god…I mean human, is clueless about this skull. It's the other self of Dokoro (Author's note: Dokoro has two forms, the other one is the skull, the chief in hell and the other is a human that Keima saved and is the one who the goddesses are looking for.)

"*shock* It seems that the powers of the orbs are getting stronger compared to the last time I saw it…" Dokoro (Skull) is about to say something but she was cut off as soon as she saw a girl with short hair that's standing behind Keima.

"Oh! Dokoro (human), I am glad that you're fine and I guess that you already found someone who you could rely on…May I know your name boy?" She observed the cold looking young boy who stared at her as if he's going to kill her any moment before he could reply.

"Before I'll answer that, who are you?! And what do you mean 'my other self?'" Katsuragi asked with a little irritation in his face. He is a meticulous type of person who doesn't easily trust someone especially a person who he barely knows.

"*wink* I'm Dokoro Skull, I'm the underworld constitutional chief of spiritual counter-measures and the girl who is behind you is my other self. If not for her you'll never be able to reach me. Now what's your name boy?" Dokoro was astonished by him before she replied with an (appealing?) look.

"Dokoro Skull? You must be the chief in hell who sent me that damn mail that ruined my gaming life!" He seemed to be shock with a disappointed face upon glaring at her as if he was going to choke her any moment.

"*shock* mail? What are you talking about?" Dokoro questions with shock face. Keima seemed to forget that he is in the past time where the Chief had not sent him the E-mail yet.

"You'll send me a mail 10 years from now! And if not for that "E-mail" these events will not happen to me! This is your entire fault!" Keima said with a curved eyes and disappointed face.

"*shock* Oh?! I did?... *wink* gomen ne, it must be an important case where we need more assistance from the earth. So what's your name boy? I've been already asking 3 times already. Don't make a lady repeat a question. Ne? *wink*" She doesn't know what he's talking about but she just decided to go with the flow for which he seemed to be really disappointed for what he just interpret seconds ago.

"*chibi* (lady? What an unlovely skull) Katsuragi. Katsuragi Keima. So, what is the reason why I was sent here in the past?" His glare lessen instead he turned into his usual serious face with piercing hazel eyes. Dokoro, who is as calm as ever, managed to say a little joke before she answers him.

"Gamer-kun?" (Author's Note: Keima sounds like the word Gamer in Japanese accent.) Dokoro said. Instead of getting mad, Keima seemed to lessen his irritation and it was suddenly replaced into a big smiling face.

"*smiling chibi*Hmm, I did use to think that it would be nice to be called gamer…" Katsuragi said while holding his chin. When it comes to "game" related things, he's so focused on the subject that he managed to forget his mission in a spur. A moment later Dokoro finally answered his question, getting Keima's senses back to the real world.

"Well Gamer-kun, the reason why you were sent here in the past is that you have to do a mission. A mission that only you can do it. You must find the 6 goddess's hosts and protect them from vintage." Dokoro said. Keima was surprised to know her reply.

"F-Find them? I already found them and conquered them! Their goddesses were already revived and they already sealed the Weiss again in the present time!" Keima said with disappointed face. Dokoro, who's still not updated due to the fact that she's still in the past time where she doesn't have any memories of the events in the present time, raised her right eyebrow due to the confusion.

"Oh, really? How did you manage to revive them?" Dokoro widened her eyes after listening to Keima. Keima took a deep breath before he replied.

"Since the goddesses needs love in order for them to regain their power, all I did was to make their hosts fall in love with me, and because of that my one week gaming time was wasted!" Keima crossed his arms with an annoyed face. Dokoro was clueless about it but she still managed to believe the cold looking boy for which he seemed to be telling the truth.

"…I didn't know that such a method will work…but I didn't say that you'll find them in the present time but instead you must find them in this time. In the past time. The vintage is already moving and there's a possibility that the goddesses hosts will be in danger. If possible, you must conquer all of them and gather them as soon as possible." Dokoro said while looking at the disappointed kid. He's more irritated than before after Dokoro said that to him.

"Find them…in this time?! Urgh! I'm tired of this kind of event! When will I be able to go back in my usual life where I would enjoy my games with no disturbances?! Huh?! Just as I thought, REALITY IS SUCH A CRAPPY GAME!" Keima said with a thwarted face.

"*sweat drop* my, what an impetuous child. Don't worry ~Gamer-kun~, you'll be back in your time when you'll be able to-"Dokoro Skull was about to continue but was interrupted by Keima.

"Urgh! I get it! I get iiiit! All I have to do is to gather all the goddesses' hosts and reconquer them, right? I want this to be over quickly as soon as possible so I can play my games! The games are already piling up!" Katsuragi said irritatingly while thinking. Dokoro smiled at him while clapping her hands at the same time.

"Just as I expected from ~Gamer-kun~. Well, I know that it won't be an easy mission but I believe in you ~Gamer-kun~. Be careful while you do this mission because vintage is now moving and lurking around the city. Well now, I'll now entrust this mission to you. Dokoro (human) will guide you in case you are in need. Dokoro (human), you must protect and help Gamer-kun and be careful on your quest." Dokoro Skull said while looking at Keima and then to Dokoro (human). Dokoro nodded at the Chief while smiling.

"I Understand. I'll protect Onii-chan even if it will cause my life." Dokoro (human) said while putting her hands on the right shoulder of Keima.

"(No, you don't have to. It'll be troublesome if you'll die.)" Keima thought while glancing at Dokoro (human). They were about to leave until Keima turned around and asked something about the given mission.

"I have something to know before we'll leave. Why do I have to do these things? The problem is now over right? The Weiss/Loose souls were already sealed by the goddesses and the vintage were already eliminated by the new devils." He gawp her upon asking. Dokoro looked at him for a few seconds before she turned around and replied.

"…You'll discover it sooner or later, for now you must protect my other self for which she is the one who'll defeat a very strong opponent on the upcoming war for neither the new devils nor the goddesses can defeat it." Dokoro Skull said with a worried expression. His eyes widened for the unexpected reply.

"U-Upcoming war? You mean there will be a war in the present time?" Keima looked at Dokoro Skull with a shocked face. Anybody would be surprised if he/she will know that there will be an upcoming war and not just any ordinary war that will be fought between mortals but a war that will be fought between the gods and devils. Dokoro looked at him while nodding.

"Yes, that's why gamer-kun you must find all the goddess' hosts and reconquer them for they will be able to strengthen the power of the goddesses in the future. Just as you said, love is the one making a goddess stronger…Well, the rest is all up to you, Gamer-kun." Dokoro said while looking at the both of them. There was a moment of silence before he replied.

"…I get it." Keima nodded and then left. That's all he could say for now. There's nothing he could do but to do what the Chief said in order to stop this appalling situation.

They flew up and were about to be heading to where Elsie is when suddenly Keima's phone rang. Keima picked his phone while Dokoro, the human/demon who was saved by Keima, carried him as they were flying up in the air.

"Hello? Elsie, any news?" Keima asked calmly like usual.

"Kami-Nii-sama, s-something's wrong in the school. Everyone is weird." Elsie said with a panicked voice. Keima's calmness changed into a bit of a worried expression after hearing her panicked voice.

"Weird? Weird in what way?!... Elsie? Oy Elsie! Oy!" Elsie hangs up all of a sudden upon Keima asked with a worried face. He put his phone back in his pocket while glancing at Dokoro, who is still carrying him while they flew up.

"Dokoro, hurry up. We must go quickly to my school! There's something strange happening there now." Keima said to Dokoro, who nodded at him.

"Understood Nii-chan." Dokoro said while carrying him. (Author's Note: For those who don't know yet, Dokoro has the ability to fly like Elsie.)

Katsuragi Keima and Dokoro went fast to the school where Keima studied. While they are moving, vintage as well makes there move to continue their grievous plan.
