Disclaimer: I don't own anything besides this fic.
"Um… my name is Hiraga Saito. Nice to meet you…"
I introduce myself to my new classmate. How could this happen? I was ready to just put the event that happen when I return to my world as just a dream. Fate doesn't seem to be so kind to me as here I am, transferring to a new school and the girl I met before is in the same class as me.
It all happen a few days after I return home.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
It has been a few days since I arrive back to my world. Since I was gone for a whole year there are many thing I need to catch up to. Furthermore, what I though as improvement of technology seem not to be the case. If I was to make a guess, those automatic door or lamp must be a product of anything but Science. I'm still not sure what that woman really is and I don't think I want to found out. I have enough trouble in Halkeginia already so at least let me live my life peacefully without all this supernatural thing happening around me.
"Yesterday your father inform me that he got a promotion as a manager to another branch of his company near this place."
My mother said to me.
"I see… that good."
"Sorry to spring this on you but because of the matter of his workplace we have to move to another area starting tomorrow. I know your just returning home but we have no choice but to move from here."
My mother seem to be considerate enough to consider my feeling.
"No, it doesn't matter really, I doubt anyone even remember me anymore so the change of scenery should be better for me."
I doubt someone as average as me will be noticed even if I disappear for a year.
"Another thing, we already finish paperwork for your education. Thankfully you can still continue to a Third year without repeating a second year back."
School huh… the only school I knew in Halkeginia is Tristain magic academy.
"Ok.. Sure, but which school I will be going?" It couldn't be my old school since we'll be moving away.
"It's called Kuou private academy…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
That is how I end up in this school… Of all the place where my father got transfer to, why is it near here? Not to mention that I'm in the same class as the girl, if I remember correctly her name is Souna Sitri. I would like to say 'such misfortune' but I don't feel like stealing someone else line so I opt to be quiet.
"Hiraga here just transfer to this area so I hope all of you could help him to get use to the place."
Sensei said as he gathers the other student attention. I can see my new classmate whisper to each other and I swear I could hear the word like Disappoint, Average or normal from them.
Yes, I was a normal person sorry for that. But there no way I could tell them 'I'm a familiar'. I rather keep my normal high school life as much as possible.
Now that the introduction over it was about time for me to choose my seat.
"As for your seat…"
Sensei was about to say but were interrupted by someone.
"Sensei! There an empty sit beside me so would it be alright for the transfer student to sit here?"
Souna raised her hand as she said that. How could she? I want nothing to do than to keep my distance from her so I wouldn't get sucked to anything that is not consider normal.
"Sensei! Allow me to refuse Souna offer!"
I said before he will agree with her.
"Oh, you already knew her already. If that the case please go and sit beside Shitouri-san"
Guh… I accidentally said Souna name out loud. My classmate had already whispering to each other because of my slip of tongue. I didn't supposed to know her name yet but I just blurt it out to get away from her.
"I don't know that kind of guy!" Souna said as her face redden a bit at being the center of attention.
"Yeah… as she said, so I should choose other sit besides near her right?"
I said hopefully.
"Nah… to much trouble, go and take your seat right now Hiraga-kun."
What kind of Sensei are you? Shouldn't you at least listen to your student plea?
Seeing that there no room for argument with a big sigh… I move to my seat as I look at Souna with a 'what did you want' look.
"Shitouri-san, please share your textbook with the Hiraga-kun seeing that this is his first day after all."
At Sensei word I really want to shout 'such misfortune' but I held back feeling that the word were not mine to use.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
As soon as the class finish I was about to dash off somewhere else but not before Souna grab my collar preventing me from escaping.
"Souna, please let go of me! What did you even want from me?" I can't just summon Derflinger right in the middle of the class or else I may get expelled on my first day of school... or probably arrested for possessing a weapon illegally
"Call me Kaichou at school!" Souna said. Why should I listen to her? I can call her whatever I want! I protest on my mind as I try to loosen her grip from mine but it were futile. For a woman her strength were not to be scoffed at. The only way for me to shake her off is by somehow to find a way to activate Gandalfr. With the current condition with nothing else that resemble a weapon, I can't activate Gandalfr right now!
"Right, Souna-san… so can I go right now please. I don't want to take your precious time after all." I said still trying to shake her hand off.
"Is that all you can say after what you did that night."
I was about to collapse on the ground at that if not for her restricting my movement.
How could she say that in the middle of the class who is still fill with other student? Everyone else was already gossiping about that statement she just made and I can feel some hateful glare that was send to me.
"You know, you shouldn't said out loud about the wonderful night we have together."
Since thing had gone from bad to worse might as well go all the way.
Souna seem to be confused before she finally realized what she said just now.
"Chance!"
I use this chance to broke away from her as I dash out from the classroom.
XXXXXXXXXXX
"Pant, Gasp… I don't think anyone following me." Trying to catch my breath, I scan my surrounding to confirm that I lost her for good.
Although I escaped her from now, there's no way I could avoid her forever. What should I do? Just when I was thinking about this I heard a voice from somewhere. From the sound of it there was someone talking.
I should have ignored the voice but the curiosities part of me won over. As I get near where I heard the voice came from I can hear some shout.
"Oi…. Let me see it to!"
With that voice and the sound of struggling. My feet just move by itself as I reach the area.
There nothing there except a guy who is sitting on the ground.
"Eh? Who are you? Oh crap!" I don't understand what he doing. He look confused before his face turn pale as he look at me. No, he didn't look at me in fact he was looking behind me.
I turn around only to be met with an army of girl who held a shinai on their hand.
"You again? and it seem you bring a new friend with you…" I don't know what the heck just happen. Did I miss anything?
"Hm… sorry but what just happen?" I said out loud the question that in my mind.
"Die, you filthy beast!" Without waiting anymore all the girl came at me and the guy beside me with full force.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
20 Minute later
"Hah… hah…" with that all the girl collapse from exhaustion. While they were targeting me that guy from before seem too had escaped to a safe place while cheering me on from a far. I don't like it. Why should I'm the one being target at? I haven't done anything yet!
Even so, it was easy to dodge their attack even without activating Gandalfr. 20 minute past as they all still haven't land a hit on me. I still got more energy left but some of them had collapse from exhaustion. I guess being in a fantasy land for a year will do that to you.
"Kuh.. what are you? to dodge all the attack…." The last girl collapse from exhaustion. Now I have a dozen of girl unconscious in front of me. I look at where the guy who is a reason for this current situation and find out he still there.
"Yaaaa… you save me, I would be in a world of pain if you didn't appear. Thank you very much." He said as he finally came out from his hiding place after ascertain there were no more danger.
I wasn't really trying to save him—I want to say that but I change my mind. Let him think what he want.
"Mind explaining what happened that make them want to beat you?" Since I got involved in this already might as well found out why this happen.
"Oh... damn, those two just left me behind like that. I didn't even see anything yet, sigh… thanks again. if not for you I would be the victim of those shinai."
He seems to be complaining about something but he still didn't answer my question.
"By the way, Who are you? Haven't seen you around before? My name's Hyudou Issei."
"Eh, um… my name Hiraga Saito, I'm just transferring here to this school today as a third year."
I introduce myself out of reflex.
"Oh… so you're my Senpai then, oh crap, it better if we leave before they woke up." Issei said as he make an escape for it after watching one of the girl seem to stir for a moment as I follow suit.
XXXXXXXXXXX
(kuh… can't believe it! that guy, How dare he make a fool of me like that) Souna thought in anger while her hand moving as she searched for the document that she want.
"Kaichou, what happen just now? Who is that man?" Looking up she found her Fuku-Kaichou looking at her worriedly.
"No, it nothing. Don't worry too much about it."
She said as she dismissed her. she still need some time to found out just what is the symbol that had been mark on her is. She had checked all kind of record from Devil and she didn't found anything that resembles the symbol. She also check an Fallen angel and Angel record but nothing that match with it. She can't be positive since the information on Fallen angel and angel is not complete on her archive so she wasn't sure whether that person is from Angel or Fallen Angel side... or probably from other mythology side.
She thought about the guy for a moment. He appear out of nowhere in the middle of the night and she didn't even detect his presence until he open the door when she was in the middle of changing clothes. She wasn't sure how she should handle the situation at first so she thought she need to ascertain whether the person were just a normal robber or something else that why she had given her real name and even her relation to one of the Maou.
But that guy only reacts to the fact that she was a Student Council President without even giving any thought about the name of Maou. Even someone from other Mythology should know about that name so she was about to think that he was just a normal human.
Even so she still wasn't convinced that why she reveal herself. That guy were surprised by a wing spreading on her back as he take a step back but the thing he do next is clearly indicate that he was not a normal human. He materialize a sword to his hand and not to mention that said sword can talk.
At first she thought he was some sort of exorcist but she didn't detect any kind of power from him aside from the rune that had been glowing on his left hand. It was neither the power of angel or fallen angel or even magician who use the power of Devil.
The sword in his hand look normal aside that it can talk. It didn't give out any demonic or Holy aura meaning that it just a normal sword that happen to be able to speak. At least that what she thought at first but the sword had the ability to absorb her magic when she fire one of the middle level water magic.
She were still cautious of him as she restrain her power to see what he really capable of but what she didn't expect is that man to use Flash-bang to blind her and then…
And then…
Her hand unconsciously move to her lips as she remember that sensation again.
(Nononono, now not the time to think about it.) She shake her head to remove those thought from her mind but she can still feel her cheek redden just by remembering the scene again.
"Like I thought, something seem to bother you Kaichou. Your face looks red all over."
She really can't refute to that but all of it were forgotten as her hand got a hold of the document she were searching.
"That document? Is that the new transfer student document? Ah… I see... fufufu… even Kaichou seem to fall to that sickness huh?" as if realizing something Shira Tsubaki Fuku-kaichou said something that she didn't comprehend.
"Sickness? What do you mean by that?" unlike human it was almost impossible for a devil to fall to a sickness especially since she is a pure blood devil.
"It love obviously, so tell me Kaichou, Hiraga-san said something about a wonderful night together, what happened?" Shinra said with a sly smile on her face.
"Love, heh…as if I fall for a pervert like that." she denied it as if it doesn't faze her. and she is going to regret this word in the future.
"Pervert? Oh… so something did happen that night." Her Queen seems misunderstanding her words.
"N-no nothing happen, w-we didn't kiss each other at all that night."
"Kiss? So you already past gone to level A already. As expected of Kaichou." Admits the panic she suddenly let that out. No choice but to tell her what exactly happen. After all she can trust her with this.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Ah… so that what happen." I said as I heard his side of story. I knew how he felt because I was in the same position once.
"You speak as if you had gone through something like that Senpai?"
"I'd be lying if I say no, yes, once my friend had device a plan to peep on a girl bath as a result the girl found out and all of us got punished even though I didn't see much."
I still remember that incident in my mind. Guiche and the other suddenly propose some sort of plan. I didn't know at first what it is but I find out after that, that they had dig some sort of hole that led to a woman bath.
That day was a disaster. Even though I didn't get caught thanks to Tabitha I still receive other punishment. Maybe it better if I don't remember that incident.
"Oh... as expected of Senpai, you're good at dodging and you even have more experience than me."
For some reason this Issei seem to gain some sort of admiration upon me. I don't know whether that a good thing or not.
"Hahaha…. Well—"
"By the way, could you teach me how to dodge all the attack. If I can do that then I can peep without worried of having be discovered." Now I don't know how to reply. On one hand I that is a result of an experience of countless battle not something you were train to. But if he really want to learn it so much I could teach him like how Agness had teach me.
"Okay… I don't mind but I warn you it wouldn't be easy." I agree. Why not, at least I can make good use or bad of something that I learn from that other world. This Hyudou Issei is almost the same as me when I arrive at Halkeginia for the first time except that he is much more perverted than I am. Not that I mind much. After all it normal for a teenage boy to be a pervert though never made your girl Jealous because of that or the result is quite disastrous if i say so myself.
"Yosh… I swim through hell itself if it mean I will be able to peep more easily." Issei said with his eye burning with conviction. I feel like this person here can really do it seeing his determination.
"Oi… Issei~ you still alive?" I can hear a voice from far away calling Issei.
"Matsuda! Motohama! Damn you for leaving me alone out there." So this two person here is also one of the culprits of the peeping accident that happen before.
After short introduction with Issei friend I can feel someone gaze. I'm not sure where this gaze is targeted at but it feel like this isn't a normal human gaze. Could it be Souna or someone else who is the same as her?
I turn around and can see a girl with a red crimson hair. Issei and the other also look up as they watch the girl from where we are.
What the heck are there exactly? That bat like wing maybe is the clue to their identities but I never seen anyone with a bat like wing in Halkeginia. The closest is Wing man but they have bird wing not that bat like wing. The only way to know is by talking with Souna directly. Since I have been avoiding her the entire time today maybe I should confront her tomorrow?
"You guys can go first. I have some business with Senpai."
I don't know how long I was out there but Issei voice snap me back to the reality.
"Eh?" what business that he meant?
"Don't tell me your forgot already. You said you would teach me how to do that thing you just did before!" This guy seems to be determined. Well, since It is still early to go home might as well.
XXXXXXXXX
After finding some wide space for what were about to do I secretly bring out a wooden sword that I kept inside the tablet.
These tablets were created by Julio using the power of Myozrinirn. It acts as a dimensional pocket to store thing so that I could easily bring it out anytime without carrying it. Not to mention that you can even fit a dozen of giant size thing inside meaning that you can store many thing inside it no matter the size. Even so it still have it limit. If you want to decide to store something that is the size of the entire world than you can start worrying about the limit on it.
"Take this…"
I throw the wooden sword at Issei as he catches it.
"What are we going to do with wooden sword?" Issei said as he examine the wooden sword in his hand.
"Well…"
10 minute later.
"kuh… Senpai, what did fighting with a sword got to do with what you did today." Issei said while he still recovering from his first time using a sword like weapon.
"Listen here Issei, if we keep the training you will be able to develop your sense more."
"?"
He doesn't seem to understand if that the case I should explain the way that even he could understand.
"For example when you peep through that dressing room hole what did you see?"
"A girl changing clothes obviously."
"Right, but if you increased your sense you will be able to see more than that. Even the place that was hidden by something else. "
"Ohhhhhhhh…. I understand now Senpai! Yosh! Let keep training!" Issei said as he stands up with a burning spirit.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
After the training with Issei and I must say it feel good to take up a sword again. Being back on earth make something like a sword unnecessary.
That guy Issei determination is strong as long as it anything that will prove beneficial on his perverseness. Just for a day he can already block several of my attack even though I was going easy on him without Gandalfr mode.
I return home as nothing else happen. I have a talk with Derf that night about Souna and her true form is.
"Are you sure you didn't know anything about her?"
"No, never seen something like that before. By the way partner, didn't you say your world didn't have any magic. That girl clearly was using some kind of water magic there."
"I was convinced at first but now I'm not so sure, this world had many secret about it than I thought it would."
"Partner, instead of thinking from Halkeginia perspective how about you think from your world perspective? Something like a legend on how Brimir is to Halkeginia. I'm sure this world had one of its own right?"
Hearing Derf said that I can reject it completely. There are many myth in this world and I'm afraid I didn't study much about it. Let see… I quickly open the internet as I searched for any related search.
"Succubus, Lilim, … there are too many here that I couldn't figure out which it is. But there all fall under one category, a Demon. If that the case then she is a Demon? For a Demon she doesn't look that scary In fact she look just like any normal high school girl is.
"Oh well… we know once we ask her about it tomorrow." I said as I give up on guessing her true identities
With that thought in mind I go back to sleep preparing for tomorrow to uncover the truth.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Yawn… "
I look at the time. It seems I woke up early than usual today. As usual I finish my morning ritual as I headed for a breakfast.
After that I headed upstairs to get ready for school.
"ding dong." I can hear the someone ring a doorbell. Probably from someone who sent a newspaper. Even so it still early right now.
"Saito~ your friend came to get you." My mom shout from downstairs.
Friend? I just start school yesterday and because of that I didn't make any friend yet beside Issei and his two friend. But it couldn't be Issei because I haven't told him where I live.
In order to find out I quickly finish changing to school uniform as I headed downstairs.
"Gah! Souna…" Yep, it was none other that the Demon girl. At least I though she is a demon.
"Thank you very much for looking after my son, he can be a bit slow at time but please take good care of him."
"No, it my duty as a classmate to look after him."
They sure got friendly fast.
"hai hai, that enough you two, we'll be going to school now."
I said try to make some distance between her and my mother. I don't want her to take my mom hostage or something.
And so both of us walk side by side on the street. It was quiet until Souna start to speak.
"You don't seem to plan on escaping today?"
"I just though there's no way I could ran away from you forever so might as well found out what do you want."
Since it still early there aren't many people on the road so we can talk more freely.
"Good, if that the case why don't we stop by a nearby café since there still an hour before school start." As Souna said that I could only nod.
Both of us arrive at a café that were located on the way to school. There wasn't any costumer there and suddenly Souna seem to do something to the owner and the worker as they have that kind of dizzy look as he flip the sign from open to close.
This must be the thing she was planning to do to me yesterday. It seems I have a resistance to that kind of skill so I could feel a bit relief when talking with her.
Both of us take a two person sit as we face each other.
""What are you?""
"…"
"…"
""you go first.""
"…"
"…"
At this rate we wouldn't be learning anything.
"Ahem… alright, you seem to be in a dark about us just like other human is." Souna finally start as I nod.
"First, I'm a devil."
"I see."
"You don't seem to be surprised by it?"
"I give some thought about it yesterday and Demon or Devil comes to my mind as what you are."
So she really is a demon or devil. which way is fine. Since she tells me her story it was my turn now.
"I'm a human—"
Guh… she give me the 'don't lie' look.
"It not a lie. Technically I'm a human but at the same time I'm a familiar."
I think if I were to categorize myself it should be a familiar.
"A familiar as human?" it seem the term familiar wasn't really an alien to her. But just like Halkeginia there doesn't seem to be Human familiar with this devil.
"Yes.. I'm a bit special. I was summoned as familiar of the void." I don't know if she understood what I'm saying but might as well tell her what I knew.
"Voi-" before she finished here word someone else crash into the building.
With a "BOOM" sound accompanied with a smoke a person silhouette can be seen from a smoke.
"cough…" both me and Souna cover our mouth as we tried to clear the dust so we could get a clearer view.
As the dust clear it revealed a middle age guy who wears a hat in reverse.
"Zatouji-san? what are you doing here?"
It seems Souna knew who this person is.
"Hey... who is this old man?"
"Please show some respect. This person here is a familiar master. He knew everything there is to it about familiar."
Ah… so this person if familiar master, kinda remind me of the word pokemon master but that doesn't matter right now.
"fufufu… if it isn't young sitri. It been a while since I saw you."
"Yes it been a while."
This person must be an important person if Souna talk to him formally.
"As for the reason I came here…"
He turned to look at me as suddenly a magic circle appear below me.
All my other rune start to appear. Although I cant feel it activate it just appear like that to be shown to the world. on a side note, evr since I'm back to earth the rune didn't seem to stay on where it should be. It only appear whenever I activate it power. at least that save me some trouble on hoe to explain why I have some sort of writing on my body.
"The rune, what is the meaning of this? It the same as that mark?"
Souna seem to mutter something as she watch the familiar mark,
On my left hand were Gandalfr.
On my right hand were windalfr.
On my forehead were Myozrinirn.
And lastly on my chest is Lifdrasir.
The rune start glowing brightly as suddenly a light shot out from the rune as all of them gather at the middle of Souna chest as the magic circle from before appear as it got bigger to be seen clearly.
The magic circle had a pentagon shape but there is a writing on each part. I recognize the writing after all it something that I have seen before.
On a upper left part is Gandalfr.
On the upper right part is Windalfr.
On a lower left part is Lifdrasir.
On a lower right part is Myozrinirn.
But at the middle there is a writing I didn't recognize. I quickly summon Derf.
"Hey Derf, what the writing at the center of the circle is?" seeing that I cant read the writing Derf were the only one who may know what It is.
"I still can't believe it but it said void."
Void? That make sense since all the familiar mark were born from void power.
"Zatouji-san, what is the meaning of this?"
Souna turn to look at the old man who seems to know something.
Everyone here seem to ignore all the thing that happened as if there were nothing weird happening. It must be the result of Souna power.
"Hahaha… I never thought I get to see it while I'm still alive."
He didn't seem to answer Souna question as he start to mutter something.
"Hey old man! If you know something tell us."
I Shout at him. Both of us seem to be confused by the sudden turn of event.
"Sorry, I got excited a bit there. Let take a sit while I explain. It concern the both of you."
For some reason I feel like It better if I were kept in the dark about what he were about to say.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
"Let see… it happen about 6000 years ago."
He starts. How old is he again?
"I make a contact with a mage called Brimir."
"Wait a second there. Did you just said Brimir, the first user of Void?" It can't be that guy right. But he just said 6000 years ago so it fit the timeline of when Brimir still alive.
"Let me finish my story first, you can ask all the question later!" I kept quiet after that. better let him finish his story first. This might have something to do with void after all.
"Brimir came to me saying that she want me to kept a seal. It was a seal of the void power and all it familiar. I was young at that time but even now I haven't seen any powerful familiar as the one he created. Of course i tried to do as she said but I fail on making a seal as she want as it was to much even for someone like me."
Seeing that there is no interruption he continued.
"A few Decade later I learn that she managed to found a way to create the seal. The seal was to keep a void power from escaping to where her world is. If the void power somehow returns back to her world than an anti-existence of void will awaken and will cause havoc yet again. At least that what he said to me."
Anti-existence should be refer to that big shadow right? That why all void users had to relinquished their power and give it to me so I could return to my world and keep the power in check.
"About 30 years ago the seal was broken and the void had gone to I assume where Brimir world. I haven't managed to make any contact with that world so I don't know the situation there."
So that why void had gone for a 6000 years long. It had been seal on the earth for that time. and somehow void power return to Halkeginia and Louise receive on the void power as she summon me next.
Souna doesn't show any reaction as she listen to the story. But I have a feeling she really have a lot of question but she hold it back before the story finish.
"About a week ago I sense the void power had return and that 'show I got here."
A few weeks ago is when I return to this world. He could sense thing like that?
"I heard your story but one thing I found weird is when you mention his world. You spoke as if it were neither underworld or heaven? As if it were a world that all of us didn't know about."
Finally after the story finish Souna finally ask the question that had been bothering her. And what with that underworld and heaven talk. Could it be it really exist? I'm not really a religious person so I didn't believe that kind of thing before but hearing her said that meaning that it exist for sure, and it also mean there is a God in my world.
"I'm not surprised you didn't know about that, in fact I don't think there anyone beside me or possibly God from bible to know about the existence of that world. It is not something that could be reached by a simple dimensional magic. It must be a spell that were specialized to create a path between that world and our world."
Hearing him said that, the spell that he mentions must be a 'World gate' which connects earth and Halkeginia. I may be able to use the spell to return back but the risk is reviving that giant shadow again. Maybe I could ask God help to eliminated it. After all if it a God it should be a piece of cake.
"Let not talk about Halkeginia for now, what about that magic circle thing that appear on Souna um… breast…" it feel awkward to say it but I have to say it nonetheless.
"Yeah... That to, it has this weird writing, Gandalfr, windalfr, Myozrinirn ,Lifdrasir and void on it." surprisingly Souna seem to be able to read what the writing meant. Maybe it one of the devil abilities.
"Oh right… I were about to get to that, in short you boy is her familiar."
"…Huh?" it take me awhile to comprehend what he just said.
"What?" look even Souna was confused by it.
"Let make this simple, Familiar cannot exist without a master. I don't know what circumstance you in boy but in short the connection you have with your previous master had vanished and the familiar mark need a new master. Did something happen when you met like a kiss or something?"
Hearing the word kiss my mind start to wonder at that moment. The moment our lip touches. I can feel my face redden a bit even Souna is the same but she still try to maintain her composure.
Both of us can only nod at that question as none of us willing to speak about it.
"Then the contract had been establish just by doing that."
"…."
"…."
""Eeeehhhhhhhh!~""
Hm…. This will be a harem fic… or not. But it will I guess considering there is too many female character in Hsdxd might as well do a Harem fic. Of course it will mostly focus on Saito and Souna relationship. I feel bad for Saji but it not like he don't have someone else right?
This is a what if… what if I make Issei stay as a human? What do you guys think about it?
That all from me and please review. The more review I got the faster the next chapter came out.
