I Don't Own Fate/Stay Night & Highschool DxD

Author's note:

Sorry for not updating for so long a test is coming up soon so I don't have a chance to make the story.

Oh yeah! About the Fem! Kiba appearance it will take place in a few more chapter. Originally I'm only planning to make this story in the past a short one, but one of my friend recommend it to make it longer. Hopefully you guys didn't get disappointed for the sudden change.

I also got a comment that it is hard to tell which one of the character is speaking. So I add the name of the character whose speaking to make it easier for the reader to tell which one is speaking.

Chapter 2: Underworld

Human World - Rome, Italy

Shirou POV

It had been a week since I arrived in this world, and since the incident with the stray Devil my days here have passed unexpectedly peaceful. The only thing that happen is that 2 days ago Griselda suddenly went on a journey for a month. According to Xenovia and Irina story it seems that she's gone on a journey for her training as a nun, but that is definitely a lied.

Why you ask?

It's because when I asked them about the detail they become unable to look at me in the eye. Griselda probably went on a journey not for her training as nun, but her training as exorcist. Well that is not really my business, so I don't really bother questioning them further.

Suddenly I saw Irina and Xenovia on the street, and they're walking together with another girl around their age wearing nun clothing. That girl is Asia Argento the 'Holy Maiden', a girl I saved five days ago. What are they doing?

Shirou: "Hey! Xenovia! Irina!"

The 2 noticed me and look at my direction.

Xenovia & Irina: ""Ah! Shirou!""

Shirou: "What are you doing?"

Irina: "We were told to guide the 'Holy—… I mean this girl around the city today. It seems she want to look around the city."

I see...Well I guess that's okay.

I saw the two of them practicing with their sword in some alley 2 days ago, and they definitely strong for a child. They can protect Asia if it's only from some street thug, and it will be easier for Asia to walk with someone her age.

Asia: "G-Good afternoon."

Asia Introduced herself timidly

Shirou: "Good afternoon! My name is Shirou Emiya, and you can call me Shirou. Do you mind telling me your name?"

I asked her name despite already knowing it already. This is my first meeting with her without my mask after all, it will be weird if I know her name.

Asia: "M-My name is Asia Argento, nice to meet you Shirou."

Shirou: "That is sure a nice name."

Irina: "Shirou, are you flirting with the Holy Maiden? Are you a lolicon?"

Where the heck this girl learned that kind of word?

Isn't she supposed to be living in Europe since she is 6?

Asia & Xenovia: ""Lolicon?""

Both Asia and Xenovia

Irina: "It is supposed to be a word from Japan, and it means—"

Shirou: "T-That's not really important!"

Irina just about to finish her words but I cut her words

Shirou: "Anyway sorry about bothering you guys. I will take my leave now, I still have my entrance exam"

That's right today I have the entrance exam for the college. The exam will be done today within the campus area, and it 15 minute walk from here. I should get going.

The Church trio: """Good luck"""

Shirou: "Thanks! I'll do my best!"

After that I separated myself from the 3 girls.

Asia POV

Just now I met someone few years older than me his name is Shirou Emiya, and for some reason he feel kind of familiar. This is undoubtedly our first meeting, but strangely I feel like I already know him.

Xenovia: "What is wrong 'Holy Maiden'? You looked like you worrying about something."

Asia: "No, it's nothing. It just that I feel like I've known Shirou-san before, but I can't remember ever meeting him. This make it hard not to think about him."

Irina: "I think Asia might be in love."

Xenovia: "Hey! Don't just call her name Irina."

Asia: "N-No it's okay! W-We're the same age so I want you to call me by name. T-That is if you don't mind." I said panicly

I mean, I've never got someone my age that want to call me by name all this time. So I would like if Xenovia-san and Irina-san call me by name.

Xenovia: "If that's the case, I will call you Asia from now on!"

Asia: "Thank you!"

I sighed in relief

Thank goodness Xenovia-san want to call my name

Irina: "You're way to stiff Xenovia!"

Xenovia: "S-Shut up Irina! Back to the topic, what do you mean Asia in love?"

Irina: "My mother told me that if there is a boy that can't left my mind it mean I like him. So Asia must be in love with Shirou. This is must be God Blessing Asia, for you to meet someone you love here. Amen!"

Asia: "E-Eeeeeeh?!"

...I-Is it true? Do I in love with Shirou-san?

Oh Lord please tell me the, what should I do?

When I thinking such thing suddenly Xenovia hit Irina head

Irina: "OUCH! What was that for?"

Irina said while rubbing her head

Xenovia: "Don't just take your own conclusion like that. We can't say Asia in love with just that. Asia don't listen to her."

Asia: "Y-Yes…"

That's right it's not like anything decided

Rather than that I should enjoy my time in the town with Xenovia and Irina

Shirou POV

Currently I am he middle of taking the entrance exam of my college in one of the exam room. The test took place today in one of the campus building, at 11 AM. When I enter the exam room I draw a lot of attention from other exam taker because I am awfully young, although in reality I am already 27.

Well the attention is not only directed at me. There is also another student that also looked as young as me in this entrance exam room. She is a girl with long, straight silver hair and light blue eyes, and she seems to be only 13 years old.

After finishing all of the exam question I went out of the exam room, and then I noticed the girl also leaving the room. It seems she had also finished the test.

I kind of curious about her because not only she is smart enough to take college exam at her age she is also not human, not a pure one that is. This girl likely to be a mix between human and some other mythical being. This is the first time I met a half so I want to talk with her for a bit. When our eye met I immediately greet her.

Shirou: "Good afternoon!"

The girl: "Good afternoon!"

She greeted me back. I continue the conversation

Shirou: "You sure are amazing to take a college exam at your age!"

The girl: "What are you talking about? You're 14 yourself right, and that mean you're only one year older than me"

Shirou: "W-Well I am."

The girl: "See! I'm nothing special at all."

—Ugh! I really feel bad about lying like that. I am already 27, but I claim to be 14

The girl: "Anyway my name is Rossweisse, and I come from Iceland. I went all the way to this country to continue my study. What about you?"

Me: "My name Shirou Emiya. My grandfather send me here to take further education, and I come from Japan."

Rossweisse: "J-Japan!"

She looked surprised when I say I come from Japan. Is there something wrong?

Rossweisse: "I-I have a question for you! Is it true that in Japan there is 100 yen shop?"

Why is she asking this thing?

Shirou: "Yes."

Why is she looks so happy when I tell her yes?

Her eye even sparkling

Shirou: "Um. Is there something wrong?"

Rossweisse: "N-No it just that I am very happy to know that 100 yen shop is real."

Shirou: "Do you like 100 yen shop or something?"

Rossweisse: "Yeah! You see 100 yen shop is—"

She then continue talk about 100 yen shop for about 10 minutes, and I forced to listen to her. After that the both of us exchange contact number, and part way.

Shirou: "It seems that I've made a strange friends, well at least she seems to be a good girl"

0000

Rossweisse POV

The reason I go into college despite my age is because I want to be independence as soon as possible. This is all because I can't inherit my family symbol that was caused by the fact I have bad compatibility my family expertise in. The only magic I am good at is battle magic. In the end my cousin is the one inherit my younger cousin is the one inherited it.

Although it's not like my parent disappointed in me for failing inherited the family symbol, I feel disappointed to myself. My grandmother Göndul and my mother both fulfil their duty, and want to pass their duty to me but I failed. So I decide to start to live alone to become independent as soon as possible to not become their burden any longer.

In order to do that I also plan to finish my education as soon as possible, and thankfully with my grade there will be no problem for me to finish college. Both my parent and grandmother actually against my decision out of worry, but insist not to change my decision. In the end they give up, and let me go to college in Rome. The reason is because in this city my grandmother have a friend who also a magician that willing to help me out here.

That person even willing to teach her own offensive magic to me because in return helping her magic research, and I must say learning from her is a lot better than learning magic from the teacher in magic academy. With this in the future I wouldn't have any problem whether I live as a magician or normal people.

I must say that I am doing a lot better than expected, but I still have my very own worry. It is that I am afraid I can't make any friend. I mean in the college all of the student will be older than me, so I will definitely be left out by them. However during the entrance exam I see a boy around the same age as me with a white hair and golden eye. When I asked the examiner it turn out that he is only 14 years old mean only a year older than me.

Because our age is close I like to talk to him, but I never start a conversation with a boy before so I really glad that he call out to me. I then found out that his name is Shirou and we even exchange contact number. I need to tell grandma about the fact I've manage to make friend here.

—Ring!

Suddenly my mobile phone ring, and I looked the number. It was grandma.

I immediately c up the phone,

Rossweisse: "Hello!"

Göndul: "Rose, how did the test go today?"

Rosseweisse: "There is no problem grandma. I believe I will pass just fine."

Göndul: "I see that's good! By the way have you made any friend there?"

Rossewisse: "Yeah! I've made a friend here today."

Göndul: "Oh! Can I hear about this?"

I then tell grandma about Shirou in detail.

About his white hair and golden eye

About when he call out to me

And about our conversation

Suddenly grandmother chuckled

Göndul: "Huhuhu! Rose you really like that boy, don't you?"

Rosseweisse: "W-Wha…! That's not true at all."

H-How can grandma say this? I've only met him today.

Göndul: "Huhuhu! You can't fool me Rose. The way you describe this boy is just like when your mother describe your father in the past."

Rossweisse: "E-Eeeeh!"

Göndul: "There is still time until your semester start right? How about bring him here back home with you? I will judge the boy you like myself"

Rosseweisse: "B-But…"

Göndul: "No 'but'! This is an order from me!"

After that Grandmother close the phone

W-What should I do?

Will Shirou even willing to come with me?

*sigh* I've got no choice I try to contact later

0000

Shirou POV

After parting with Rossweisse.

I went to the super market near the campus area to buy some ingredient before going back. On my way back after finished buying the groceries, I come across a café named 'Paradise Café'. Since I haven't take my lunch yet, might as well eat here.

However, when I about to enter the café I notices this place is not normal. Despite the café interior or exterior looked pretty normal looking. The waitress is anything but normal they're all the real Angel.

Is this shop run by the Angel or something?

Well it doesn't really matter. This city is also part of their territory so it doesn't seems strange to see one or a bunch of Angel. Is what I like to say, but there is one person that really draw my attention.

She is an extremely beautiful woman with curly blonde hair, but that is not the reason I'm surprised. I'm surprised because she carry an unbelievable amount of magical energy. This person is definitely the same level as Serafall, and likely to be one of the Seraph from heaven.

What the hell a Seraph doing opening a café her in human world?

Anyway it's not my business, I shouldn't think about it too much

When I just standing outside the store, one of the girls noticed me.

Angel A: "Welcome, I will lead you to your table now."

The Angel greeted me

After that she bring me to one of the empty table, and after look at the menu I went ordering some cake and tea.

While waiting for my order I look around the café from my seat. Although the café itself not bad and the waitress is bunch of beautiful girl, but strangely enough there are no customer. Well the café itself is still new so I guess it is not really strange. I then noticed the blonde woman who I believe is a Seraph, is coming closer to my table bringing my orders.

Angel G: "Sorry for the wait! Here is your order."

Shirou: "Thank you very much!"

I received my order from one of the Angel and start to eat the cake I ordered

Shirou: "D-Delicious! This cake is really delicious." This is my honest opinion.

I have also made a lot of cake before for Saber and Rin, and of course I have confidence my cake will not lose. But this cake has it's own good point

Shirou: "It make me I wonder, why am I the only one here?"

Angel G: "Well we only open for a week so this is to be expected."

Shirou: "You think so? I think it's weird this place is not popular when all of the waitress is a beauty and the food is great. Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Shirou Emiya."

Angel G: "My name is Gabriel, and thanks for the compliment."

Shirou: "If I may ask, why did you open the shop here? This place is not really near the city center, nor does it near residence area. The only thing near here will be that college a few minute walk from here."

Although I am wondering about why an Angel even bother run a shop in human world.

I was even more curious on why did they open the shop in a place people rarely come to visit like this. In fact the only reason I found this place is because I take a long detour because I want to look around the city a bit more.

Gabriel is one of the 4 Great Seraph, if she want to open a shop in human world I bet the Chuch will lend their power.

Gabriel: "Well the reason I open this shop in the first place is to relieve my stress. So I don't really want the place to be too crowded. All of the worker here also more or less the same as me."

Shirou: "I see…"

Well I guess that make sense. If he open this shop in the crowded place then she will be too busy, and only will make her even more stressed. She then conmuttered.

"Well in the end I guess we pick a far too quiet place, making store empty."

"Then, how about I recommend this place to several people. This shop is not only provide good food, but also low price. I bet there will be people willing to go here."

Yeah, this place provide a very reasonable price.

Rossweisse is a very stin—…

I mean a very economical person, so she will like to visit this place. There is some problem like she is a half human and half something else, but I don't think anything will happen from just that.

Gabriel: "Is that true?"

Shirou: "Yeah! I don't really mind."

Gabriel: "Then, how about working here yourself? After all, it will be weird for a customer to advertise the shop."

Work here, huh….

Well I've been thinking on getting a part time job myself, and it's not like I have anything against the Angel. Might as well take the chance

Shirou: "If you allow me to work here, then I happily accept. It would also be a good chance for me to learn the receipts for this cake."

Gabriel: "Oh my! Is cooking one of your hobby?"

Shirou: "I guess. I did enjoy seeing people eating the food I cook."

Gabriel: "It's decided, you will work in the kitchen. The cook in this restaurant is only me and one other, so you will be a great help."

Gabriel and I then discuss about my work here. After finishing hour discussion I left the shop, and go back home.

0000

Gabriel POV

Gabriel: "That sure went well, we managed to get a new worker here."

Angel A: "I don't understand. Why would you even bother recruit someone? If you want more worker, can't we just ask the Church to send someone?"

Gabriel: "You don't understand Arariel. If we asked the Church to send someone, it will be another stiff person. Instead of being a co-worker he/she will end up being our servant, and I don't like that."

Arariel: "I guess that's true. Well I have no problem with that kid working for us at all."

Angel B: "I agree."

Angel C: "The same"

Angel D: "He seems to be a good kid, so I don't mind."

It seems all of them don't min Shirou working here.

I sure hope everyone will get along just fine with Shirou

Angel B: By the way have Gabriel-sama heard about the news about the mysterious man that defeat the stray Devil recently."

Gabriel: "Yes I've heard about it. But why did you asked about it?"

Angel B: "Well Shirou claim to arrive here a week ago right? So it likely that he is the mysterious man."

Gabriel: "No way! Anyway get back to work now."

0000

Shirou POV

After leaving the shop I immediately went to my home.

After walking for several minute I have finally I arrived at my apartment door. I am about to open the door, but then I sensed a lot of magical energy come from inside my room. At first I feel worried on who entering my room, but…

Huh? This power don't tell me…

I lower my guard immediately and opened the door. Someone then appear from behind the door.

Serafall: "Hello Shirou! Magical Levia-tan have come to play."

Me: "Serafall, can I know your reason for coming here?"

Serafall: "Mo—! Shirou am I not allowed to come here without any business?"

Me: "Well I will always welcome you to this place anytime you want to. But seeing you went as far as to force your way in my room, it is hard to believe you don't have any business."

Serafall: "Tehe-!*"

Serafall said as she make a cute pose

Me: "*sigh* Anyway let's stop talking in front of the door. Let's take a seat in the living room, and I will also prepare some snack."

Serafall then go inside the living room while I go to the kitchen preparing snack and tea. After that I bring the snack to the living room, and put it on the table. Then I take a seat myself.

"So? What do you really want Serafall?"

"I want to ask you something?"

"What's that?"

Well to be honest I think I know what she want to ask.

"You are the masked man that beat the stray Devil a week ago right."

"Yes."

"Now don't you dare to lie I kno—… Eh? What did you say?"

"Hm? I said yes." I said to her again

Although Zelretch indeed told me not to reveal that I am from another dimension, but he didn't mention that I should hide the fact I can use magic. Not to mention, it seems the one watching my fight last week is Serafall. If that's the case denying it will be useless, might as well admit it

Serafall turned silence for few second, then….

"EEEEEEH?! Why did you admit it so easily?! Serafall have made many scenarios in this one week in case you deny it. But now it all flushed down into the toilet." Serafall shout at me, and there is even tear on her eye.

I guess she really put effort on her preparation to the point she actually cried

"Well sorry about that. Is that all you want to ask?" I said

"I have a few more question, but first of all. Do you know that I am a Maou?"

"Yes." I said

Serafall looked surprised when I say that

Huh? Is something wrong?

"And you don't have a problem with it at all." She asked

"Huh? Why should I?"

"I mean in the legend a Maou is someone evil and scary, don't you feel scared of me?"

"Not really. Personally instead of finding you as scary, I think you're one of the most beautiful women I have ever met. I would love to date you." I said this without much thought

After I said that suddenly Serafall face turned crimson red. She suddenly pushed me to the ground, and said…

Serafall: "H-Hey, if you go around saying thing like that without thinking, people will get the wrong idea!"

I widen my eye after she said that

Ah….She really is similar with Rin….

In the past Rin also said the exact same thing to me during the 'Fifth Holy Grail War'.

Really! Just how similar can you 2 be?

Shirou: "Ahahaha! Serafall you really are cute after all."

Serafall: "I-Idiot!"

Shirou: "Anyway, what will be the next question the Serafall?" I changed the subject on purpose so we can move on

Serafall: "Ah, I almost forgot! I want to ask, do you want to be part of my Peerage?"

I see, so she come to recruit me into her Peerage

Shirou: "If I may ask, why me?"

Serafall: "Well it is because I feel that you're interesting."

Shirou: "Is that it?"

Serafall: "Yeah! You've got a face of someone that will run into trouble. If I recruit you into my peerage my life will definitely will be more interesting."

Shirou: "You sure don't hold back, huh…"

Well she is correct about that

With my E-rank luck there is 100% chance I will run into trouble.

Serafall: "So will you accept my offer or not?"

Shirou: "Sorry, but I have no interest in becoming a Devil. Although I don't hate Devil in particular, I still prefer to live as a human."

Serafall: "I see, that's a shame. Well Serafall will always welcome your if you changed your mind."

Shirou: "Thank you for your understanding."

I lower my head to Serafall to show her my gratitude

Serafall: "It's okay! Rather than that I have one more offer for you." Serafall responded

Shirou: "What will that be?"

Serafall: "Do you want to obtain a familiar? If you want it Serafall can arrange it so you can go to the 'Familiar Forest'."

Well she got me.

To be honest I do have the interest in obtaining a familiar.

I mean in my world all of supernatural being is a beast that love killing human. Well there are indeed some crazy person like Aoko Aozaki that actually manage to make one of those beast into her familiar, but it is very hard to obtain one.

But in this world it is a different story. The supernatural being lived in the Underworld and Heaven actually living peacefully with the people there, and even willing to make contract with them.

This definitely have piqued my interest, but…

Shirou: "Why do you want to help me obtaining a Familiar?"

Serafall: "It's not like I want nothing from you. There is one thing I want you to fulfill."

Shirou: "What's that?"

Serafall: "I want you to promise to never join anybody else Peerage in case you want to be a Devil in the future."

Hmm… it doesn't seems like she's lying

I guess I should accept this offer. There might not be many chance for me to obtain my very own familiar.

Shirou: "Okay, I accept."

Serafall: "That's settle it ! I will contact a familiar master to help you out, but the fastest I can get one of them to help out will be in another 3 days."

Shrou: "No problem, I have a lot of free time until the semester begin anyway."

Serafall: "Okay !"

Suddenly a magic circle appeared under my leg, and my body began enveloped by the light.

Shirou: "W-Wha…"

When I realised both me and Serafall already at some street alley, on my left is a forest and on my right I can see a city and there also see castle there. But what surprise me the most is that when I look up the sky is kinda purplish. This is don't tell me….

Serafall: "Shirou I welcome you to the Underworld."

She tell me straight in the face, and just like that I got dragged by Serafall to the Underworld.

0000

Underworld - Sitri Territory

Serafall POV

Today I have visited Shirou to join my Peerage, but he refused my offer. Instead of giving up on him I offered to help him get his own familiar, on a condition if he ever want to be a Devil he will join my Peerage. After he agree I teleport us to the Underworld using teleportation magic.

Normally his s impossible to transfer just like that between the 2 worlds because of the barrier to ensure no intruder entering the Underworld. However as a Maou I am allowed to bypass the barrier and able to entering and leaving the underworld anytime I like. Shirou seemed surprised when I transferred us and unable to talk for a few moment.

After that he took a deep breath and started to talk in the next moment

Shirou: "… Serafall if you want to teleport us, please tell me about it before hand."

Serafall: "Teehee! Sorry Shirou."

I said as I make a cute pose

Shirou: "Why you little!"

Shirou said as e clench his fist tight

Serafall: "Ah! I almost forgot to wear this."

I summoned a robe with a hood, and wear it myself

Shirou: "Is that robe supposed to hide your identity or something?"

Serafall: "Yeah! It will be troublesome if a Maou walk around the city after all."

Shirou: "Don't I need one as well! I am a human after all."

Serafall: "Don't worry there are a lot of human live in the Underworld, so you will not draw attention."

Shirou: "I see…Anyway Serafall, why do you teleport me to the Underworld? Can't you just bring me after you manage to contact the familiar master?"

Serafall: "Eeeeh… That will be no fun, and you also said that you're free so I thought might as well give you a tour in the Underworld for three days. And I will be your guide just for today."

Shirou: "Wait a minute! What do you mean just for today?!"

Serafall: "Serafall busy as well you know? Serafall plan to go back home today to play with Sona-tan."

Shirou: "Sona-tan?"

Serafall: "She is my little sister, and the cutest girl in the world. Recently because stupid paperwork Behemoth-tan gave, it is becoming harder to meet her. So using this chance I will go back home."

Shirou: "What about me then?"

Serafall: "Hm? Shirou should be able to take care of himself until I contact the familiar mater, right? So I shouldn't worry about you."

Yeah Shirou pretty strong so even he run into trouble he should be fine.

Shirou: "And how am I supposed to live here without money?"

Serafall: "Hm? You can use credit card from human world such as A*Z. Or even go to money changer to exchange your money."

Shirou: "M-Money changer! Credit card! Is those thing exist as well in the Underworld?"

Serfall: "Yeah!"

...

Shirou fell into silence and make a weird face

Did I say something weird?

Shirou: "*sigh* Forget I ever asked! Anyway, where are we right now?"

Serafall: "Ah! We're currently in the Sitri Clan territory, and we're now in the capital of Sitir territory where the castle of Sitri family located." I answered Shirou Question

That's right! This is my home city.

Serafall: "In this city I have several people that willing to lend me some hand. They will be more than willing to give you a place to stay without questioning you too much."

Shirou: "I see…I thought you transferred us to some random place you like, but you unexpectedly put a lot of thought."

Serafall: "Mo-! What do you mean unexpectedly?!"

I puffed my cheek and start to glare at him

Shirou: "Sorry, sorry! Anyway, what are we going to do now Serafall?"

Shirou said while still laughing

Serafall: "I think I can ask one of the Inn owner here to prepare a room for you later, so let's just go around the city for now."

After that both me and Shirou start our walk around the Sitri capital city.

0000

Shirou POV

The Sitri territory, based on the book Zelretch give me is thee lace that very close with nature but this beyond my imagination. This is not about close anymore the city and territory itself basically a big garden. No matter where I see every house, the street, building has a crazy amount of plant, and there is even a clean river flowing in the middle of the city.

The plant itself has a lot kind such as flower common in human world to plant that only grow in the Underworld. Based on Serafall some of the plant that just grow in the street here might actually be rare in the other Devil clan territory, and even can be used as medicine. The city also gives the impression of magical country. It make sense that Serafall think herself as magical girl when she grow up in a place like this.

Since entering the city Serafall have brought me to lot of tourist spot, such as the Sitri tower, Café to try some sweet, and a shopping district. Currently we're still walking around in the shopping district

Serafall: "Ne Ne! Shirou do you want to buy this mask."

Serafall said as she hold a mask similar with the one we bought before

Shirou: "Y-You! What do you want from me? The last time I bought that I ended up fighting a stray Devil. If I buy another one I will definitely ended up fighting again!"

I said to Serafall as my sweat start to drop from my face

Serafall: "Eeeeh…!"

Serafall start to pout

Shirou: "A-Anyway let's go to the next store."

After that we walk once again, and move to the next store

After a few minutes we came across to some park where there is a lot of food stall. Serafall and I decided to take rest in the park, and buying some snack and drink there.

Shirou: "Fu…! Finally found an empty bench."

I take a seat at one of the empty bench in the park, and after that Serafall take a seat next to me

Serafall: "So Shirou, what do you think about Sitri territory?" Serafall asked me

Shirou: "Well I really think this is a beautiful place."

Serafall: "Right, right! Sitri capital city is indeed the most beautiful city in the underworld."

Serafall talk about Sitri territory as if it is her pride and joy. Seeing her so happy like this I can't help but wondering about 'that'

Shirou: "Serafall do you mind if I ask you about something. But if you don't want to answer, you can just ignore it."

Serafall: "Hmm? What is it suddenly?"

Shirou: "Why do you become a Maou?"

I mean sure Serafall is strong and all, but isn't there anybody else that can become a Maou. At first I thought the reason this girl become a Maou is probably because she have some problem with her family. However seeing her happily talk about her family and how much she loves this city. I can't imagine she become a Maou because of it.

Serafall: "Hmm….That is a difficult question! To be honest Serafall is basically forced by the council to be one of the Maou."

Shirou: "And you're not against it?"

Serafall: "No"

Serafall shook her head

Shirou: "Why?"

Serafall: "What do you mean 'why'? It just because whether I am a Maou or not I am still me. I have no plan to change myself just because I am a Maou. In fact instead of regretting it I will make use this title to protect my family."

After hearing her words I can't help but smile at her

Serafall: "D-Did I said something weird?"

Shirou: "No! It's the opposite! I think you're really amazing."

Serafall: "Amazing?"

Shirou: "Yeah! It really amazing despite the fact that you become a Maou against your will you don't show slightest bit of regret. Instead you focus in live not only for the sake of other but also for yourself. This side of you make you look very brilliant."

This is my honest opinion.

The past me will never be able to live the way she. In fact I will refuse the way she lives I will refuse the idea of living for myself. I always live for the sake of other, and never look at myself. In the end I crushed both myself and the one I love.

When I think about such thing Serafall face turned red and only look at me in silence.

0000

Serafall POV

W-Why is Shirou keep saying things that make me feel like this?

A-At this rate I will fall in love with him for real

No! I can't fall for this kind of guy so easily. I bet in the future Shirou will turn into a playboy, and play around with many girl.

Serafall: "Hmph! W-What so amazing about it? Most people I know will call me childish for doing whatever I like."

Shirou: "It is amazing thing because in reality most people will never be able to live like you. People tend to unable to realise what they even truly wish for. It could be they because they become blinded by their desire and ideal. Or even because they never care about their own life, and believe that they had no right to be happy."

Shirou suddenly looked into the distant

There he goes again!

From time to time Shirou look as if he remember something very painful. His eye looked void from any kind of happiness, and there only pain there.

And every time I see him like this it make me realise that I really don't know anything about him. Although it's not like we've known each other for long. I Don't like the idea seeing him like that, and the fact I can't do anything for him.

Serafall: "S-Shirou! Can I ask you something as well?"

Shirou: "Hm? Sure! I don't mind at all, after all you answered my question so I guess it is my turn."

Okay here goes nothing! I will ask him about that

Serafall: "You said before you want to be a hero before right? Why did you want to be one in the first place?"

Shirou suddenly looked depressed, but nevertheless he still responded back to me

Shirou: "Well Serafall my reason will likely bore you, and I can't tell you the detail. Even so, will you still want to hear my story?"

I nod at Shirou question

Shirou then sighed and began to talk

Shirou: "In the past, I am involved in accident where a city suddenly engulfed in fire. At that time whether it is a building or even the people turned into ashes, and leave nothing behind. I remembered many of those people look at me begging to be saved, but I ignore them. In order to survive I ignore all of the people dying in front of me, and I am saved because of it. But, the guilt from being the sole survivor of a major disaster, caused my body lived yet my soul died. I wanted to atone as the survivor, I am no longer consider my life as my own. I swore I'd never let another tragedy happen again. That is the beginning of me wanting to be a hero."

Serafall: "T-That's!"

I can't believe Shirou is involved in this kind of accident. He still look so young and yet he must went through that kind of pain that might crush him anytime.

Shirou: "But in the end I give up on that dream because I never manage to protect anything. All the thing I tried to protect slipped away from my hand. There is nothing changed at all whether it is now or in the past I never manage to protect anything."

Serafall: "Why did you said that? If you become stronger you will definitely be able to protect everyone."

Shirou then shook his head

Shirou: "No! It's impossible to save everyone. Saving someone mean unable to save somebody else that is always how thing goes. So like an idiot I decided to abandon the minority to save the majority. I believe that by abandoning those people mean I save a thousand and that action itself is justice. But after my loved one die I realize that it was stupid of me fighting for justice. A person like me that can't even protect his friend properly trying to become a hero is nothing but a joke. I should have lived together with my loved and protect them instead of pretending to be a hero."

...

I can't help but imagine if I am in his position I will definitely be broken.

Although I had participated in the civil war to fight the old Maou faction. I never once feel the hopelessness of failing to save someone I love. All this possible is because we have 2 Super Devil Sirzech and Ajuka on our side. The fight become pretty much one sided after even Rizevim went into hiding because he got bored with the war.

The pain Shirou felt is something that I likely will never be able to understand. Just imagining my parent or Sona-tan death will definitely make me mad. Yet Shirou looked as if he had seen hundreds or even thousands of people he want to save die.

When I realized tears start to fall from my eye

Serafall: "…*sob*…Sorry! *sob*…I am sorry!"

Shirou noticed me and start to look panic

Shirou: "W-wait! Why are you crying?"

Serafall: "…*sob*…It just that I'm sorry to make you remember that…*Sob*…"

Shirou then smiled and patted my head

Shirou: "It's okay really! Those are all in the past, I've decided to move forward now. And this time I swore I protect all of my friend. Especially you!"

Serafall: "Eh?"

I am so surprised at what Shirou said, and my tears also stop

Shirou: "I've only know you for a short while but I really think of you as an amazing person, and I already consider you as someone really important to me. That's why if you run into trouble just ask for my help. I promise that I will help you no matter what happen. "

Shirou make a bright smile that he never show to me before.

As I see his face my face becoming hotter and hotter and I start to feel my consciousness escaping

Shirou: "S-Serafall! Why is your face red like that? This is even redder than when you're embarrassed. Are you sick or something?"

Serafall: "Eh? No-no! I am really okay!"

D-Did my face really that red.

T-This is bad I really need to calm down

When I thinking such thing Shirou suddenly place his hand on my forehead, and his face is very close with mine.

T-This guy is really bad for my heart

Shirou: "Hmm…I really think you have a cold after all! Do you want me to walk you home?"

Serafall: "No! I'm okay! A-Anyway here I give this to you."

I give Shirou a plastic bag

Shirou: "What's this?"

Serafall: "In this bag there are a map to show the location of the Inn you should be staying tonight. There is also a piece of paper with my stamp inside the bag. If you show that paper they will immediately prepare a room for you."

Shirou: "I see..."

Serafall: "A-Anyway I got to go now. Bye Shirou!"

Shirou: "Ah! Wait!"

Shirou call out to me but I ignore him

If I stay for even one more minute with him, I definitely can't remain calm.

After that I run with all my strength to go back to Sitri family castle.

0000

Shirou POV

What is up with that girl?

Well seeing she can run like that I guess she really is okay.

Anyway it's getting late already, it will be better to go to the inn now.

Narrator POV

At the same night within the Sitri territory at some dark place we can see a shadow of several Devil.

All of those Devil right now in the middle of installing some magic into the city secretly.

Devil 1: "Master our preparation has almost completed we can attack this city in 3 days or so."

Boss: "That will be too long make it happen in two day. I want to have my revenge on Serafall as soon as possible."

Devil 1: "Yes Katerea Leviathan-sama."
