Issei stared at the young woman wearing a pink kimono, who in return stared back.
(Think Okita's Base Outfit)
"..."
"Who are you? And what are you doing in my room?" Issei asked his tone dry as the Sahara Desert.
"Ah, Good morning master, my name is Okita Souji. Saber class servant, have answered your summons," said Okita with a bit of excitement.
"Wait, you're Okita Souji? I thought Okita Souji was a man, not a beautiful lady?" Issei said in confusion as he recalled what he learnt about Okita in history.
"Some Legends do indeed describe me as a man, master. But I assure you that I am indeed a woman." Okita said as a faint pink dusted her cheeks. She had never been complimented in such a way before.
"You know it feels kind of awkward to call me Master you know, there's no need for this master-servant stuff. My name is Issei, all my friends call me Ise. Feel free to call me that." Issei said scratching his cheek in embarrassment.
"Very well, as you wish Ise-dono. Yes, that sounds much better. I shall call you that henceforth. Ise-dono."
"Oh, come on drop the dono crap already. Just call me Ise." Issei said groaning.
"That shall not do Issei-dono. You are the bearer of the holy grail and Alaya shiki's chosen. That means you are a mankind's champion and you shall be referred to with respect." said Okita stubbornly gazing straight into his eyes to let him know just how serious she was.
Seeing that she wouldn't give up anytime soon he tried to compromise.
"At least please call me Ise when we are alone. We are friends, right?"
Friends? Her Master wished to be her friend? She had never been summoned with a master that wanted her friendship. He certainly was odd, wasn't he? Not that was a bad thing. He would be her first friend.
"Very well Ise," she said as her face lit up with a bright smile adorning her face that expressed her joy.
"Issei, wake up young man or you may be late for school," said Mrs Hyoudou as she knocked and opened the door.
All three of them were silent for a few seconds before Mrs Hyoudou ran down the stairs screaming. And Issei came down as well followed by Okita.
"Dear, Issei brought a Girl home. "
Mr Hyoudou who was reading the newspaper had tears in his eyes.
"Our issei actually brought a Girl home?" he said wide-eyed in disbelief as he looked over to Okita who was standing just beside Issei. That was further reinforced when he took out his glasses and began cleaning it with his shirt before putting it back on and looking closely.
The man's voice quivered in joy as the couple looked at each other "You know what this means?" Mr Hyoudou asked.
"GRANDCHILDREN," they said, as they both screamed for joy at the impossibility of Issei bringing a Girl home.
"Oi, have more faith in me!" and so the Hyoudou family dissolved into chaos.
Sometime later...
Issei was walking to school with Okita following behind him.
"I am really sorry about my parent's actions today," Issei said scratching his head in embarrassment.
Damn it the first really friendly girl that talks to me and my first hero on the team and my parents already spoiled it.
"It's alright Issei. I don't mind," she said covering her mouth with her sleeve stifling her giggle causing Issei to pout. Which caused her to burst into laughter.
She could relax around him. He was an honest soul and it showed. She could get used to serving under him.
"Oh, come to think of it can you do that Astralization thing? Because I'm pretty sure they won't allow you inside unless you are a student or staff."
"Of course, Ise-dono. Okita shall watch over you and make sure you are safe. No harm shall befall you as long as I remain standing." said Okita before dissolving into particles of light and completely vanishing.
But for Issei who had the Holy grail inside him, he could still sense her presence as he began to see other students making their way.
'Just in time, I'm counting on you Okita-chan.'
'Of course, leave it to me master. No demon shall get near you without your knowledge.'
And so Hyoudou Issei and his first servant entered the devil's den.
