AN: I am honestly floored by the reception to this story. I was certain that this would just be passed over by most people.

I opened my eyes to a somewhat familiar cei-

"Well? Do you have anything to say?" I turned to see the grown up Magical Girl pouting at me, her arms crossed under her large breasts.

I did, but she might have ended up hitting me again.

"Did you have to hit me that hard?" I groused out instead. I did note that I didn't remember how she hit me or where since there wasn't any more pain. I saw her face go from surprised to incensed within a breath.

"You called me old!" She yelled out.

The rational part of me prompted to act like a mature adult.

"You knocked me out! Twice!" I clearly didn't listen to it.

"You attacked me the first time!" She countered.

"You surprised me!" I threw up both my hands in exasperation.

"You-okay, this isn't working. Let's just take a deep breath and start over." She surprised me by taking the high road that I really should have done earlier instead.

So why did I provoke her? It didn't seem like something I'd do.

I looked down at my hands.

Was it something Chloe would have done?

"Okay! Fresh start!" She declared with smile and a clap of her hands.

"Greetings fellow protector of Love and Justice!" She greeted me once again.

"I apologize for knocking you out like that last night but you did suddenly attack me with your Magical Girl weapons, so I had to defend myself." She explained, actually looking regretful for what happened. I felt fine so I didn't really have a reason to be mad at her anymore.

"Umm..sure. You just suddenly showed up behind me and scared me, sorry about that." I gave my own apology while scratching my cheek. I saw her smile at that before she suddenly stood up.

"Apology accepted! Now with that out of the way, I would like to formally introduce myself!" She excitedly said, pulling out an honest to goodness pink Magical Girl Wand that had a yellow star at the end.

Holy shit! The whole room suddenly became bright pink! What is with those sparkles?! Why is she spinning?! Where is that music coming from?!

"Sparkle Shine! Your Command is Mine! I am Miracle Levia-tan~" She twirled her wand, did one more spin, and settled on a cute pose and a wink.

"How did you do all that?" I just had to ask. All those effects just came out of literally nowhere and disappeared just as fast.

"Magic, silly!" Of course she would answer with that. Levia-tan then looked at me expectantly with poorly restrained glee.

Oh right...my introduction.

"Well, I'm pretty new to this whole thing. I don't really have a routine down yet." This is technically true. It also seemed to be something Levia-tan wanted to hear with how her eyes literally started sparkling. With speed and strength that far exceeded my own, she grabbed both my hands and leaned in close.

"A newbie! Well don't you worry! I'll take you under my wing and teach you everything you need to know about being a proper Magical Girl!" The unbridled joy in her face was something I couldn't really say no to.

"Thank...you?" So I didn't. She let out a gasp and did a small happy dance in front of me.

"You are very welcome! Oh! I have so many ideas already! Wait! What Magical Girl power do you have? Aside from those swords, I mean." I blinked at her words and shrugged my shoulders.

"That's actually mostly it. I can make swords. I can make a bow and arrows too, but swords are my main deal." When I thought about it, I wasn't even sure how to use Projection. The last time was a panic reaction. Something to ask Chloe about later.

"Oooohhh! Is it some sort of Sacred Gear like Rias' Knight?" I suddenly froze when I heard those words from Levia-tan.

Sacred Gear?

Rias? As in Rias Gremory?

I licked my lips as my heart rate started to go faster, trying not to sweat loudly.

"Umm...what is your real name? I'm Chloe. Chloe von Einzbern." I baited. I had to know. I had to.

"Oh! That should be Top Secret! Though since you'll be my protege, I guess it's fine. My name is Serafall. Formerly Sitri, currently Leviathan." I was in High School DxD. I was not in an alternate Nasu-verse. Is that...good? I couldn't really tell from where I was.

"When you say Leviathan..." I trailed off when my stomach suddenly started growling. Really? That cliche?! I didn't even feel hungry!

"Oh! That is a discussion that can wait until you eat something first! Be right back!" And she was gone in a flash of pink.

I was in a Light Novel world.

I was in a Harem Light Novel world.

I was in a Harem Light Novel world as a GIRL.

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuck…."

I sat there in silence at the dining table as Serafall gave a rather comprehensive explanation as to who she was, what her actual job is, where I was, and the general state of things as I ate. She even went so far as dropping her Magical Girl shtick and spoke like someone befitting her rank and power. Too bad she was still wearing her costume as she did so.

What I was told was pretty much what I already knew in general terms. I wasn't really someone who followed the story or lore of High School DxD. I mostly got my information about the setting and characters from osmosis and crossover fanfiction.

There was a really big war between Heaven, Hell, and the Grigori that accomplished nothing except kill countless Angels, Devils and Fallen Angels. The previous Four Great Satans also died in that war. She didn't mention it, but I already knew that the Biblical God also died in the conflict.

Due to the horrible loss of life on all sides and a change in management for Devils, an unofficial non-aggression pact was in place while each faction recovered.

"So what you are saying is that you are actually a bad guy." I started, putting my eating utensils down. Serafall actually brought me food in bed. I wasn't really sure if it was because of her being a good host or because she didn't want me trying to leave.

"What?! No!" Well, she definitely looked surprised. I glanced down at my empty plate and frowned.

"Should I be worried about what I just ate?" I asked more to myself.

"Why would you think that I would do something to your food?!" Wow, she actually sounded offended by my accusation.

"You literally just said that you are a Devil. Not just any Devil, but one of the ruling powers of Hell. A Satan." I explained and she just looked like I just said something really stupid.

"Okay, One, that is racist and a stereotype that only certain surviving ancient Devils still identify by." I blinked. Did she just call me racist?

"Two, it's Underworld and not Hell. Hell is just another part of the Underworld and even that has a lot of other parts too." I drank from the glass of water that was also provided to me as she spoke.

"Sounds complicated." I commented as I put the glass down on the tray on my lap. Serafall actually got up from her seat, took the tray, and placed it on a nearby table without prompting. It was so weird being cared for by a Devil, a Satan, who was dressed up as a hot grown up Magical Girl.

"It is. You would not believe how hard it is to legally zone everything. It's a good thing that lawyers usually end up going to Hell." Ah yes, she started talking in the tone of voice that only those who have long suffered through bureaucracy can do.

Wait a minute...

"Okay, now who is leaning on stereotypes?" I asked with a raised brow. Really? Lawyers go to hell?

Serafall just shrugged and sat back down.

"I'll stop as soon as it stops being true." We lapsed into silence for a few moments afterwards. She was probably giving me time to digest all the information that was just dumped on me.

"You know, you're not what I expected when I think of the word "Satan" or "Leviathan"." I finally spoke out. Serafall blinked at me before giggling.

"Is it the Magical Girl outfit?" I made a so-so gesture with my right hand at her question.

"Not just, but definitely a contributor. What's the story with that anyway? Why is one of the most powerful Devils dressing up as a Magical Girl?" I asked and saw her suddenly give me a smirk.

"I think I've shared more than enough about me for now. It's your turn now." Shit! I was so distracted that I hadn't even come up with a good cover story yet. She seemed to have sensed something with the say her eyes suddenly took on a strange shine.

"Oh, and don't even think about trying to lie to a Great Satan. I'll know." She added in a lower tone of voice. Right. Don't lie to one of the rulers of hell.

Well, if I have to tell the truth anyway.

"I think I'm from another dimension." I slowly admitted. To my surprise, Serafall just nodded.

"Oh? Do you still remember how you got here?" She asked. What?!

"Wait, you believe me?" Because that was way too easy.

"Honestly, I'm not even surprised. The way you used magic didn't seem like it is how humans are supposed to use it. It was actually a lot closer to how a member of the three factions would." She explained. Huh. From what I recalled, human magicians in DxD used math to perform magic. So Projection doesn't require that?

"You are taking this surprisingly well." I settled on instead.

"And you are stalling. How did you get here?" She shot back. Dammit. Truth again!

"I don't know." She stared at me intently, her eyes giving off a strange pink glow.

"You're not lying." I dumbly nodded and she gestured me to continue.

"I was at home one minute, then I woke up at the spot where you first found me." Serafall actually frowned at my words.

"Right on time for me to come across you on one of my walks." She muttered to herself. That seemed concerning.

"Did you figure something out?" I asked. She had a pinched expression on her face and shook her head.

"Not really...but someone or something definitely wanted me to be the one to find you. Do you know what this means?" She asked me. I just shrugged in response. After a moment of silence, she stood up and pointed right at my face.

"It means that an event has happened that has allowed an interdimensional meeting between Magical Girls! Oooooh! We might need to find and defeat a great evil together!" What?

"Aren't you technically a Great Evil?" I pointed out.

"Quiet newbie!" She dismissed my point with her hands on her hips.

"I'm just saying..." I trailed off. She just rolled her eyes at me before leaning closer.

"And I'm saying that we team up and kick butt!" She declared with great enthusiasm. It was actually starting to get kind of infectious.

"You are really into this huh?" I asked with a lopsided grin. She pulled back and scoffed at my words.

"Why are you so against this anyway? I'm offering to take you under my wing!" She shot back. I just looked at her incredulously before responding.

"You're a Devil!" Serafall didn't look impressed.

"And you're technically an Outer Being." She...had a point.

"Unless the reason for your reluctance is because you're one of those 'New Age' Magical Girls." She suddenly said with narrowed eyes.

"What?"

"You know, those new types of Magical Girls. The ones who are motivated by some dark tragedy instead of being happy to help others. Utter garbage." She explained.

"Wow, you sound really offended by that." Serafall snorted at my words before flipping one of her ponytails back.

"I don't need grief to push me to do the right thing. Leave that to American Superheroes!" Savage. But true.

Still, that comment...

"Wait. What year is it?" I asked. She blinked at the subject change.

"Twenty-Twelve, why?"

Twenty-Twelve? What kind of time travel shenanigans even is this?!

Well that explained her 'New Age Magical Girl' comment. Madoka Magica, or an equivalent, must have already aired in Japan by then.

"Just checking." I said instead.

"Well, what's your plan then? I doubt you have anywhere else to go." Serafall circled back to the heart of the matter.

"And a Devil is offering me a place in her home." I muttered.

"Don't make it sound so nefarious. You can leave if you want." I seemed to have gotten to the limit of her patience. It wasn't like I had any other choice. At least, I didn't have any better ones.

"I think I'll stay." I finally said, banking on the hope that Serafall Leviathan was not a bad person.

"Good! Now get some proper sleep this time and we'll talk more about this tomorrow." I blinked at her words and noticed the clock on the wall above the door. Eleven O'Clock. In the evening?! What the hell was my sense of time?

Serafall bid me a Good Night and took the tray with her as she left. I decided to settle in and lost consciousness as soon as my head hit the pillow.

I looked at Chloe's dead-eyed stare and sighed.

"We might have a problem." I belatedly stated and watched her fall back onto the grass as everything caught up to her.

To quote one Kizuna Ai:

This...has turned into a difficult situation.
