6. Chapter 6

Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

Frozen Shadow95; Yeah, she is in Rensuke's. I just forgot to add her ehehe. But that's been rectified now.

Sairaorg; He certainly is hehe~ and thank you! Kurumi is certainly BA and yea, that girl is a mystery alright. Anna is from an anime called Shimoneta. Its a hilarious anime.

Yaro; Thanks! And cool names!

Snowyassas1n; Its like that, now. Rensuke is going to turn it into an offensive one later.

Castor115; Hehe, yeah~ And thanks! It would be funny yeah.

King of the lion; Thanks and yeah, he didn't yet, because technically that was his first fight, plus he had Katase to protect as well. And right now, its defend, but soon he's going to be able to use it offensively. Trust me, he's going to use it to fight with, not just defend. As for that question, its because I have a plot point with that certain woman, plus its going to be for comedy as well.

Akito the Destroyer; Personally, I just wanted an Angel with Ise. It was either her or Gabriel, and I don't see Gabriel being with Ise. Griselda is also hard to believe, but slightly more believable than Gabriel. And I was considering that name, but Michaela is actually the female form of Michael from Hebrew, so I thought that it would be better to use that.

Hellspam; It could be that~ But it wont be revealed till around that time. And yup, Anna certainly is in the harem~ I had to as she's just awesome scary. And yeah, Kurumi kicked ass alright, and will continue to do so in the future. And cool Balance Breaker.

Anime PJ; Hehe, she terrifies everyone~ And yeah, I have an idea for her~ And yup, we have a Fallen Angel on side, as for the others, are they redeemable? Only time will tell~ And yeah, there is a good reason for Fem!Michael which actually involves a little of a plot point later on. You aren't wrong about Mrs Cuddles alright, she's going to be a...scary kitty. Aika is cool, so yeah, and yup, that's what I was thinking~

Harem Master123; Thanks! And yeah, I have an idea for her. And cool ideas for the guys as always~ And that would be confusing for this fic, two people called Ren. Maybe for another one of my stories.

Jugar38; Hehe, I hate when that happens as well~ Thanks first of all~ Yup those two would be interesting alright. And I hope you enjoy watching it like I did. And trust me, I have a reason for adding that character which will become apparent when she's introduced. I might still add Gabriel yet though. As for Mittelt, you'll have to wait and see hehe~ And thank you as always~

Guest 1; That sounds like a good idea for Anna. And I was thinking something like that for her obsession/infatuation.

Guest 2; Now that you say it, it does sound like that hehe~

Ragna; Yup~! And it isn't going to be like that, as I'm not a fan of that either. Just think that Lord Gremory has a harem (can't remember where it was mentioned but it was), so Venelana can have another lover as well, is what I was thinking.

Guest 3; I have a reason for adding those two, and I always thought that they were quite pretty. But thank you anyway!

Snake; I've had an idea for that before, and am considering doing a fic like that in the future.

Guest 4; Yeah, Aika doing that is something I could see.

Guest 5; Maybe he should~

Guest 6; Yeah, I loved that episode, thought it was deadly funny.

Guest 7; Yeah, Gasper is going to be extremely terrified of Kurumi. And even when she tries to help Gasper with the Sacred Gear, Gasper is still going to be really frightened. And yeah, some people do want Gabriel, but there is a reason why I have fem!Michael, and its apart of the plot as well. But I might add Gabriel anyway, two sister Angels after all hehe~ For the name, its because Michaela is actually the female form of Michael in Hebrew, where Michael camr from, so I thought it might be appropriate. And I like Monica Rial's her voice acting as well.

Guest 8; That she is~

Guest 9; Yeah, lovely pairing.

Guest 10; I'll have a think about adding those two!

Guest 11; Aah, its always nice hearing that. Its certainly true that he has a past alright, which will be revealed overtime. And yeah, Katase certainly kicked some ass hehe. And you never know, it could be right or Mrs Cuddles could be an ordinary cat. Of course I had to add that scene, it was too funny not too. For Kurumi, she is deadly cute~ And I guess she is a mix of those two. Tsubaki would be a cool name, but Sona's Queen is named that, so it would be a little confusing.

Guest 12; Yeah, they are barriers, and I have a good way for him to use it offensively. And maybe one of the ways might take inspiration from that person.

Guest 13; Katase and Murayama will most likely be getting Artificial Sacred gears from Azazel. That's what i have planned anyway. And yeah, they will have that type of respect for him.

With those lovely reviews out of the way, its time to start the chapter!

Finding your role

"So, that's what a Fallen Angel is!?"

Katase-san yelled at me, after she was unfrozen. In the end, I decided to tell her about it, despite Kurumi-chan saying things about her being murdered and other things like that. It was hard to explain, because I don't have the best grasp on it yet, but I explained what I could, and Kurumi-chan merely just filled in the missing bits I missed out.

But speaking of Kurumi-chan, she's gone back to her normal uniform, being the Kuoh school uniform. Both of the girls keep looking at one another though. Katase-san is pissed that she was frozen, and Kurumi-chan just looks awesomely at her, not giving a hint of the murderous intent girl that I saw just before.

I don't get how she could switch from crazy killer, to high schooler with a normal attitude of one? Is she like split personality or something? She was all "Die die die!" before, and now she's like "Ara ara, we should be fine Rensuke-san~" in a damn angelic voice.

She's a mystery alright. She's normal one second, and she's killer the next. I don't know which Kurumi-chan is the real one. Both of them are so different. But is it possible that she is split personality? Or that the nice one is a facade and the real one is an axe murderer...rather, a gun slinging murderer.

Is she really like that? Although as long as she doesn't do it to me or friends, then I am going to be alright with Kurumi-chan. She certainly is a valuable ally. If she really is some kind of 'Time Witch' then she's an amazing one. She's awesome, and she was able to stop time. Why couldn't I have that kind of power!?

"Yes, that's essentially what it is, Katase-san. I know that it is a weird thing, but that's what they are. I'm sorry that you got involved. I never intended for you to be involved with Fallen Angels. If I had known, I wouldn't of lead you this way."

I had to apologize to her, because she was caught up in my problem when she didn't do anything. She doesn't deserve to be caught up in things like this. Especially if its because of me.

"N-No, I'm fine with it, I think. Its just a lot to take in. Ren-sama being a Devil now, Fallen Angels going after him, and getting frozen in time!" She looked at Kurumi-chan who put a hand to her face. "Was it really necessary to freeze me in time!? I mean, I didn't do anything to you! And then I come out of it and I have funny things drawn on my face!"

...Ehehe, yeah. Kurumi-chan thought it would be a funny idea if she drew a mustache and fuzzy eyebrows with a black marker on Katase-sans face. Katase-san, the moment she found out Kurumi-chan did that, tried to attack Kurumi-chan, but Kurumi-chan pointed her gun right in her face, making Katase-san back down. Even I was afraid of what Kurumi-chan was going to do.

"Ara ara, I only meant to make you more pretty. Did it not work?"

Make her pretty? How was making her look like a man meant to make her look pretty?

Katase-san furrowed her brows, and sent sharp gazes towards Kurumi-chan, who was either oblivious to the stares, or she simply didn't care. Either way, she didn't seem to make a move when Katase-sans eyes were on her.

"O-Of course it didn't work! This stuff isn't coming off! I'm going to be looking like this all day!"

She's right about that. She tried wiping it off. I tried wiping it off. And we both tried using water from a nearby fountain, but it didn't work. Whatever it is, isn't normal. It isn't even smearing. I think its magical in nature.

"Hmmmm, that's because I wont allow it to come off yet." Kurumi-chan stated, moving ever closer to me. "You know, its okay if you want to leave now, Katase-san. Rensuke-san and I have things to discuss, and I'd hate it if you got more involved than you already are."

Somehow, I don't believe that Kurumi-chan is actually bothered about Katase-san being here...no, make that she doesn't want Katase-san to be here. Katase-san looked at Kurumi-chan and her body shook slightly, giving her a freaked out expression.

"Y-Yeah, but what about those F-Fallen Angels? Aren't they still a threat?"

"They aren't around now. They've been chased off, thanks to me. Although, I still prefer that I had killed them, and possibly eaten them. But Rensuke-san said that I shouldn't, so I didn't. For now though, I will follow that order. Should I see them again, I will definitely eat them."

A-And we've gone back to the eating thing! Does she actually devour people? Or is it something completely different? Ooh Maou, I pray that I don't find out what she means by eating people. It doesn't have to be eating people like a cannibal or anything. It could be...something sexual.

"W-When you say...no, I can't ask." Katase-san twitched her body, and looked towards the school. "I-I'm going to go now. Ren-sama, I understand why you've been busy as of late, and I don't think I'm going to be telling Murayama-chan for awhile, if ever. Although, despite the threat of the Fallen Angels, it doesn't seem like such a bad thing, does it?"

Doesn't seem bad huh. Maou knows what this is. Devils, Fallen Angels...what is good and bad...erm, I haven't decided...

"Eh...I'll let you know when I have that answer. I'm not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing if I'm honest. Some of it is cool, but some of it is something that I didn't think would happen to me. Especially being on everyone's target list. That fucking sucks."

"Y-Yeah, I suppose that it is a lot to take in. But if its Ren-sama, I'm sure you'll figure it out."

"I guess I will."

I said with a small laugh. Eventually, I will figure it out, and know what to do.

"By the way Ren-sama. What was that freaky mist anyway? Was that a Devils power?"

"No, its something called a Sacred Gear and actually, not to brag, but I got a good one. Basically, its a power bestowed onto certain humans. It can also be given to human hybrids, although I don't know what other creatures exist, besides Devils, Angels and Fallen Angels. Maybe hybrids of theirs, who knows."

She nodded with an "I see." in a cheery voice. Although I could tell that she was confused by it all. Hey, it is a confusing time to be alive huh. This stuff is all confusing. Sacred Gears and Devils and whatever else is out there.

"Ren-sama, what does your Sacred...erm Sacred Gear do? Block attacks?"

"That's exactly it. And apparently it can also teleport things. Although I haven't been able to do anything like that. However, here's hoping for a future where I can do something like that."

I crossed my fingers and put a cute expression on my face. Seeing that, Katase-san stuck out her tongue.

"If its Ren-sama then I'm sure he'll figure it out! Anyway, I've gotta run! I thought that we might've been at school by now, and I have classroom duties this morning. And you know what the Sensei is like if the classroom isn't clean and all that."

Aah, that's right, I have them this afternoon. Basically, its just to clean up the class and make sure it isn't a mess. Its the same for the morning as well. The classroom duties are picked at random. And its always a team of two. Usually Katase-san is with Murayama-san. I don't know how she does that. I'm with...well, whoever is available actually.

"You sure you don't wanna go with us? We're going to school now anyway."

She sent a gaze at Kurumi-chan who smiled and waved back. Seeing that, Katase-san shouted "I'M SURE!" before running off down the road. Poor Katase-san, she looked so frightened then. And if I was her, I would be frightened as well.

I can understand why she would be frightened of being near Kurumi-chan, after seeing Kurumi-chan's powers. Time power, is pretty awesome. She froze Katase-san and even didn't seem to care about it. She also was able to slow down time on a target, and made herself faster...I think.

After confirming that Katase-san had left, Kurumi-chan wrapped an arm around my arm, linking us two together, giving me a beating smile. That smile, could either be scary beating, or a good heart warming beating...I haven't decided what it is yet...

"Ara ara, it seems Katase-san ran away before we could go to school together. But, that doesn't mean Rensuke-san has to go alone. Why don't we walk towards the school Rensuke-san, together?"

"Y-Yeah, sure! That sounds good!"

Hey, even if she is quite mental, she's beautiful! Anyone would be mental to pass up on a opportunity! Okay, even if she is quite battle mental, she's nice to me right now. Although there's always that undertone, which is quite scary.

With Kurumi-chan leading, we left towards the school, our arms linked, and even our hands are touching. I didn't know what to say about it, so I kept my trap shut, and just continued forward.

While I was hesitating to talk with Kurumi-chan, she seemed to be really happy with the current situation. Although I do wish one of us would talk. She's not exactly going to start the conversation, and I'm too nervous to talk to her.

She's beautiful. I've always had trouble talking with beautiful girls, and even more trouble with the mental ones. But I have to admit, she was awesome during that fight. I could plainly see that she was playing with the Fallen Angels.

After around five minutes of not talking, Kurumi-chan let out a breath.

"Ara ara, Rensuke-san. I need to ask, why didn't you use your pure killing prowess like before on the Fallen Angels?"

My pure killing what? She said something about me being a good killer? No, that couldn't be right. I've never killed in my entire life. In fact, I've made it a point to just avoid conflict whenever possible.

"E-Eh? I don't get it Kurumi-chan, what do you mean?"

"I'm saying, if it was the old you, you would've been able to literally rip them to pieces in no time. But since Rensuke-san here doesn't seem to remember, I will say, disregard what I said as whimsical nonsense."

...A-Ah, she's certainly unique. She's talking about things that don't make sense whatsoever. Perhaps she's thinking of something else that I'm currently unaware of. Y-Yeah, that has to be it!

"A-Ah, okay. Say Kurumi-chan, may I ask you a question?"

"I'm listening."

She replied, her tone being so adorable that its hard to believe that she's actually a killer...although, I don't have any evidence that she is actually a murderer. All I've seen is her willingness to kill. I've not seen her murder anyone. She might just have an appetite for fighting and gets a little overboard. Y-Yeah, that has to be it, huh!

"R-Right, that time power you used then...what was it exactly? Magic? A Sacred Gear? Some kind of natural ability? Or is it something else that I'm currently unaware of?"

"Ara ara, I will let you know in time...get it? In time?"

I sweatdropped and nodded. Obviously she was referring to her time powers. Although she isn't going to tell me huh? I guess it doesn't matter, as long as she's able to do things like that, then I wont inquire any further.

"Y-Yeah. But it is pretty cool, you know? I mean, is it hard to use time powers?"

"Some are harder than others."

Some are harder than others huh? I wonder, what other powers of time she has? She can slow down time, she can stop time, she can...I think speed up time. What else can she do with time? Reverse it? Fast forward it? I dunno. There are some applications of time. And then there's those freaky hands. What the hell were they?

"I-I see. So, you can do lots of different things with time huh."

"Ara ara, are you trying to milk me for information?"

What a strange thing to say. Doesn't she want to tell me? We're on the same peerage, yet she was like that huh. Although the tone she used wasn't rude or anything. More teasing than anything.

"N-No, I was just curious, that's all."

"Ooh, I see. Then, I'm curious as well as to why you didn't use your teleportation power of your Sacred Gear? If it was a case of that, you could've gotten away like that. Better yet, why didn't you fight back Rensuke-san?"

She wants to know something like that. Its embarrassing to even admit it. But right now, I can't fight. I've not ever been in a supernatural right. Hey, I've not even seen a supernatural fight before.

"...I don't know how to use the teleportation ability. And I haven't a clue on how to fight supernatural people. If I had known, I would've fought back. Hehe, I guess that I was burden to you Kurumi-chan."

That's how I feel anyway. If I had known how to fight, I wouldn't have to rely on people to fight for me. If only I could've, but if only's are going to be the death of me if I keep living in self pity. If I don't know how to fight, then I will learn how to fight.

"Kuku, so that's the case? Millicas-san hasn't taught you how to fight yet, and you've yet to understand your Sacred Gear in full. Don't worry Rensuke-san, I'll teach you how to fight, on one on one basis."

One on one basis...t-that means we'll be alone! Kurumi-chan and I being alone would be...scary and awesome at the same time. Yeah, as long as she doesn't go shooting at me, then I will be fine.

"R-Really huh? You'd help me get stronger?"

"Ara ara, you personally don't need to get stronger, right now. If you had your old persona, those people would've been dust. However, I don't mind giving you some lessons. Although hand to hand isn't my forte. You'd have to ask Elmen-san about that side of the fighting."

Yeah, makes sense. She seems to be the type that would be fighting with the fists. And as for Kurumi-chan, she can teach me how to curb stomp my enemies. She did it with relatively ease. Although I don't get that old persona thing. Maybe she's confusing me for someone else. It would be the norm for someone like me.

"I figured Elmen-chan would be the fist fighter in the group. So, what's your role in the peerage?"

"Ooh, that's of different aspects. I've got the role of support, and attack. Sometimes I'm in the support category, and sometimes I'm in the attack category. It all depends on the situation. Mostly, I'm used to support the team first, then attack myself. Or I could be on an attack base, like when I saved you Rensuke-san."

I guess she's right about that. Although with my Longinus...

"I guess I'm going to be support huh..."

"No, I don't think so." Kurumi-chan denied my words, and gave me a cute smile. "Its more like you'll be one of the main attackers. When you used your Longinus in the past, you was able to turn it into a completely unique style of battle. Rensuke-san, you only need to believe in your power. If you do that, then you'll do amazing things."

Even though I don't get the past stuff, she is giving me encouragement. A unique style of battle huh. I wonder what that truly means? Can I develop a unique style of battle? And what am I suited for anyway?

"You really think?"

"I really know. But now, doesn't that seem interesting, Rensuke-san?" Pointing ahead of her, I followed her faze and saw Ise-kun with a girl. "Ara ara, it seems that...what's his name is hanging around with someone from the Church."

Someone from the Church...

Yeah, across the road from us, near a park, is a blonde Bishoujo. A cute girl with long golden hair, and cute green eyes. Although she hasn't got huge oppai, she's very cute, someone that I might like. Looks like Ise-kun got his claws into her first though. But what she's wearing, is a Nuns habit. All in all, she's quite a cute girl.

Ise-kun that sly bastard. He's found a cute blonde haired Bishoujo, and a Sister at that. What I pray is he doesn't do anything weird to this girl. She has to be pure, and he can't taint her. Even if he's my friend, I still have to be at least worried for this girl.

"Yes...is it going to be a problem Kurumi-chan?"

Personally, I can see that it might be a problem if he is seen with a Sister, but at the same time, Ise-kun is also going to get yelled at for being seen with a Sister. Or, he might even be killed for being near a Nun. Perhaps the Fallen Angels, or Angels are going to strike him down.

"Hmmm, that's a good question, and I don't have a solution, besides devouring them that is."

Ehehehe, she's going to be always talking about eating people huh. I hope she's having some kind of joke there. Yeah, it has to be a joke of some kind. She's trying to freak out the new guy~

"Kurumi-chan, that Sister is from the Church right? She isn't someone cosplaying?"

"You're correct. She's from the Church, and your friend is in trouble. If he gets mixed up with the Church, he'll surely become a target for the Fallen Angels, that you never let me finish off."

She added, with a bit of a harsh tone. Ehehe, I didn't think that she would be that bothered about it. But this is Kurumi-chan, so I can't really expect anything different. Then again, Kurumi-chan is...hold on.

If Ise-kun is mixed up with the Nun girl, and he is targeted by Fallen Angels, does that mean he...

"H-He wont be killed by her, right!?"

No matter how you look at it, being mixed up with the Church is bad...although having such a cute girl around wouldn't be so bad. Seeing her, I think even I would be lead astray slightly.

However, if he is going to be in danger because she tries something, no matter how adorable she is, I will go over there and kick the crap out of her! Although she doesn't seem threatening, and she doesn't seem to be anything other than a normal girl. Although I could be wrong about that. I don't know her, so she could be evil...but I don't sense evil from her...

"Ara ara, I'm not so sure about that. However, from what I can tell, he shouldn't be weaker than she is. If anything, she's just an ordinary human who may or may not have a Sacred Gear. Its hard to tell from this distance. But you'd have to ask Kunou-san about the sensing of people, as she is the best. Either way, we should be getting to school."

So...that Nun might have a Sacred Gear huh. I wonder, what kind? Ise-kun's Sacred Gear is a mystery as well. When I asked him, he said he doesn't know what it does. He asked what mine does, and I told him about it, and he laughed about it not being able to fight. He'll be proven wrong soon enough. I don't care if it can't fight right now, because I will change it into an attacking Sacred Gear.

Although that doesn't matter right now. Something else does...

"B-But, what about Ise-kun? Is it alright to leave him with her? Can you tell if its a dangerous Sacred Gear? If she has one that is?"

I don't know what to do. Should we follow them? Should I go over there and break them apart? As the senior Devil, I turned to Kurumi-chan for advice. Kurumi-chan however bent her neck, and yawned slightly.

"I believe so and I'm sure that it isn't. Besides, she doesn't seem to be the fighting type. He isn't apart of Millicas-sans peerage, therefore he isn't our concern. However, if you're so uptight about it, then we'll just have to inform that Gremory...erm, Rias-senpai about it."

"Y-Yeah, maybe. But I don't want to get him into trouble either."

"Ara ara, you're such an indecisive person Rensuke-san. She'll most likely find out anyway. Either he'll tell her, or she already has someone following him. We should go Rensuke-san, before we're caught up in trouble."

"Y-Yes, you're right. Although..."

Before I could finish, she dragged me away towards the school without giving me a chance to say anything else on the matter. Hehe, good luck Ise-kun, you're going to need it.

[Later]

School was pretty typical. We didn't do anything that could be called abnormal. It was the usual day. I had a fight with Kiryuu-san, had lunch with Katase-san and Murayama-san (although Katase-san kept whispering questions to me which I had no idea how to answer), but the strange thing was that Kurumi-chan ate lunch with us as well.

She said something about getting to know the new member. But we hardly talked. It was more like we were just reveling in each other's company. Kurumi-chan was talked too by Murayama-san, but Katase-san kept her distance and hid behind me most of the time.

It freaked out Murayama-san when Katase-san was being afraid of Kurumi-chan. I also thought that it was a little funny, when Kurumi-chan said that she was getting hungry for some good tasty human meat. She whispered to me that she was joking, but the colour from Katase-sans face just dropped considerably. And Murayama-san just laughed off the joke.

Speaking of Katase-san though, she had to put up with that marker pen all day on her face. Eventually, I was able to convince Kurumi-chan that she should take it off, but I had to promise her to become a good...meal. Whatever that means.

I saw Ise-kun walk in this morning, and so from that, I take it the Nun didn't kill him. Nor did the Fallen Angels get him. I'm glad about that. But apparently, Kurumi-chan informed Rias-Buchou about the problem, and she's going to talk with him.

I didn't want to be involved with it, as I felt bad that we had to tell his Master. It almost feels like I've betrayed him somehow, but at the same time, its for his own good. I don't want him to disappear, that's all.

I also told Millicas-chan about what happened. That was...well, it was awkward to admit that I had been essentially on pure defence and not offence. That's not who I am. I don't wanna be on the defensive. I'm going to have to train.

But there was also one other surprise of the day. That being a certain someone making me a bento. That person being Kiba-chan. She came into the classroom, handed me the bento, and left before I could say anything. Maybe she was taking a page out of Millicas-chan's books...

Actually, thinking about it, Millicas-chan also does the same. She still sometimes comes into the classroom, acts all shy, and hands me the bento and runs off. Despite us sleeping in the same bed together, naked, she is still all shy huh.

"Ara ara, Rensuke-san. Its the end of the day." Kurumi-chan got in my face, and waved her hand. I looked up at her, and saw that she was smiling down at me. "It seems that we're partners for the classroom duties today. We best get to work or we might be in trouble."

I looked around, and saw that everyone had already left. Damn, its a good thing Kurumi-chan aroused me, or I would've just stayed here. Hehe, maybe I shouldn't have such a space out.

"Y-Yeah, I'm ready Kurumi-chan. Lets get to work!"

"Ne, you're certainly up for boring classroom duties. Is there a reason for that?"

A reason...nope, can't think of anything at the moment.

"N-Not really. I'm just ready to clean the classroom so we can get this day over with I suppose."

"Ara ara, is it because you were attacked by Fallen Angels?"

Or is it because I saw that you were able to do amazing feats? No, I don't think I could say something like that to her.

"Ehehe, something like that. Come on Kurumi-chan! Lets get this class cleaned!"

"Ne, that sounds good Rensuke-san."

Standing up, I decided to start making my way to the front of the classroom, to clean up...only for Kurumi-chan to appear in front of me, holding a bucket and a mop. Where in the hell...?

"T-That was fast Kurumi-chan."

"Ara ara, Rensuke-san wanted to do this quickly, so while you were zoned out, I began making a start. Here, you handle the mopping, and I will clear the front of the classroom."

"Alright, sounds like a good plan!"

Getting to work, we cleaned the class in no time. Personally, I think that they make us do this not because they want people to bond as classmates, but because they're too lazy to hire janitors or something.

Kurumi-chan and I also talked with one another, just having a normal conversation...or what passes for normal for her anyway. Mostly, it was about how she found me interesting, and kept saying things about eating me...I just laughed that off, as a joke or something...I didn't know how else to handle it. I pray she's joking anyway.

Anyway, after cleaning the classroom, both Kurumi-chan and I exit the room, only to be met with a couple of people.

"Hey Ren-senpai! Kurumi-senpai!"

{Yo Boss man, Nightmare-senpai.}

The ones that appeared were the Loli fox, Kunou-san and Bennia-san, that Loli blue haired girl. They gave us pleasantries and smiled at us with adorable looks. Have to admit, that these two are so cute!

"Hey Bennia-san! Kunou-san! What a surprise! What're you doing here?"

I asked with interest.

Kunou-san stepped forward, and bowed her head.

"Senpai, we heard that you were targeted by the Fallen Angels. Are you alright?"

{Yeah Boss man. You shouldn't worry us by facing these Fallen Angels alone. Its a good thing that Nightmare-senpai was there huh.}

I see. I worried the girls. Damn, I didn't think they'd be worried for me. It wasn't like I was hurt or anything. But that's mainly due to my Longinus. If I didn't have that, then I don't even know what would've happened.

"Hehe, I'm sorry that I worried you. But don't worry, I'm fine. See? I'm alright! Fallen Angels have to watch themselves before they try anything with me!"

HUG!

Oooh! They both suddenly latched onto me! I didn't think I worried them this much. I petted both of their heads, and smiled sweetly at them. Seeing that, they both turned a little red, and latched onto my hands.

"Ren-senpai, is it okay if Kunou and Bennia hold onto your hands, especially Kunou?"

D-Don't ask me that while looking so adorable! Kunou-san is so cute! She's even got those shy eyes that makes everyone fall instantly in love! What is it with Loli's and having such a cute expression.

{Please Boss man? We'll be good girls for you~}

A-And Bennia-sans got her own cute way of saying it! Don't girls! Its hard to resist the cuteness Loli's have! No other type of girl has this kind of adorableness! Its like a category thing. Loli's have the adorableness. Bishoujo's are cute with a hint of sexiness. Onee-sama's are sexy with a hint of cuteness. That's what I split them into. Ooh, Milfs, are just sexy. Pure beauty that no one can beat, because they have life experiences and will know how to satisfy a man.

Ise-kun keeps saying that he wants a harem and all that. But he doesn't have ambition. He says he wants Onee-sama types. But he forget the other types as well. Clearly he's a one tracked minded guy. Loli's and Bishoujo's are just as good as Onee-sama types. And an actual Milf is...well, its really rare indeed. If he wants to have a good harem, then he's going to have to learn to appreciate the beauty's of both Loli and Bishoujo, and not be so obsessed with breasts.

"Y-Yeah, I don't mind. As long as you're good girls and do what you're told..."

...Great, now it sounds like I'm a Lolicon again. Why does it sound like that!? It just sounds creepy...but these girls both jumped up, and cheered loudly. It was soo cute that they rubbed their heads against my chest lovingly.

"Ara ara, Bennia-san and Kunou-san. We're just heading to the clubroom. Are you coming along?"

"Yes!"

{Yup!}

They agreed with Kurumi-chan and we all headed towards the clubroom. Kunou-san and Bennia-san had a hold of my hands, looking at me with happiness. Is it alright that I thought that it was too irresistibly cute.

"Then, if the girls are doing it, I will do it as well."

Kurumi-chan, without even asking wrapped her arms around my arm, pulling it into her chest! Iyaaaaaaaa! Her chest is lovely! Her breasts are soft like pillows! She's got the biggest chest size of any girl in the peerage, and she's also...ooh Maou, I could totally see myself being her boyfriend...she would have to try and not kill people though...but it isn't like I'm totally flawless either.

While walking, I just looked at all of the girls. Kunou-san was swinging her other hand happily, keeping her hand holding hand tightly within my grasp. Bennia-san is doing the same thing from the other side. Kurumi-chan however seems to be in deep thought.

This is kind of strange...an eerie silence. Kunou-san and Bennia-san are cool and all. But there's something about Kurumi-chan that I don't know about. She talks as if we know one another, and she says things about the past...what is it about the past? Has something happened in the past? Meh...I don't know what's happening there...

"So, when am I going to learn about what piece I am?"

I asked to no one in particular. I just wanted to break the ice, and also want to know what kind of piece I am. Everyone is secretive about it. When I bring it up, they all change it to a completely different thing.

{Well, that's a different thing Boss man. Sorry, but we can't tell you just yet. Millicas-chan is waiting for a chance to explain the Evil Pieces, and then will tell you your role.}

Again with the secrets. Damn, its like I'm getting untold because they don't want me to know! Do they have something against me!? It isn't fair! I only want to know so I can be better prepared for what's out there!

"Kunou-san, you'd tell me, right?"

Kunou-san shook her head with a cute smile on. Ugh! Even she wont tell me about it huh! That's it! I will have...no, I'm not asking Kurumi-chan. She might either tease the crap out of me, or she might even just...ugh, I don't know anymore...

I shook my head, and just looked ahead...oooh! There's Kiba-chan! Yay! A girl that I like! She's holding bags, and it seems that she looks a little tired...has she been doing lots of exercise? Not that she needs it as she is really adorable.

"Kiba-chan! Kiba-chan!" I called, smiling happily. "Kiba-chan, look here!"

She stopped in her tracks, and faced in my direction. Once seeing me, she let a smile plaster itself all over her face. That smile, sent my heart into overdrive. She's so freaking cute that it isn't even funny! What an adorable girl!

"Ara, Sakurai-kun, Kunou-chan, Bennia-san and..." When looking at Kurumi-chan, she froze on her place and her body shivered a little. "Nightmare...I-I mean, K-Kurumi-san, I didn't realize you had returned."

W-Why did she sound so frightened then? And why call her Nightmare!? Is she that scary!? She was only faced with Kurumi-chan...but that...eeeeeeh, I'm confused now. Kurumi-chan wasn't showing any aggression or anything, and smiled at Kiba-chan.

"Ara ara, Kiba-san. It seems that you're doing well?"

Kiba-chan's body shook a little, and she looked at Kurumi-chan with slight apprehension and fear...eh? I know that Kurumi-chan is kind of scary and has a nickname which is Nightmare, but there's no reason to be frightened of her...is there?

"Y-Yes, I'm doing quite well thank you Kurumi-san. Actually, I just finished picking up some orders for Buchou, and was about to head back to the clubroom...shall we all go together?"

Picking up orders for Buchou huh. I wonder what she was picking up? Must be something important if its for Buchou. Although...I don't know Buchou that well. She seems to be...a strange girl. I definitely prefer Millicas-chan though, because from what I've seen, she's kinder than Buchou. Not to say Buchou hasn't gotten any charms, but Millicas-chan is more...I like Millicas-chan more than her, no offense to her.

"Yeah! Kiba-chan, come with us!"

Kiba-chan walked closer to me, minding the glare that Kurumi-chan is giving her, and faced me with an adorable smile. From the smile, I was taken back slightly. For some reason, it reminded me of something...it was like I've seen that smile before.

"Hehe, if I'm escorted by a handsome gentleman, then I'm satisfied."

"H-Handsome gentleman huh." I smirked, cocking my head to the side. "My, I didn't think I was such a thing. But if its Kiba-chan who says that then I will take it as a compliment."

Kiba-chan wrapped her arms around my free arm (to the apparent ire of the other girls) pushing her breasts into that arm! The sensation of her oppai are great! The size, the shape, the softness!

"As you should, Sakurai-kun. Now, please guide me to my destination."

She giggled, coming closer and closer to me.

"Ara ara, are you trying to become closer to Rensuke-san, Kiba-san?"

Kiba-chan frozen (not in time hehe), and shook her body rapidly.

"I-I was just trying to know a fellow Devil...reincarnated Devil I mean. Basically, we're going to be fighting together one day, no doubt against Fallen Angels, and other enemies. So, being closer and closer to the fellow member of...erm...Nightmare..."

She started off strong, but ended up being weak. Kurumi-chan seemed satisfied with that, and held onto my arm tighter! D-Don't hold it so tight! If its her breasts, then I will seriously have a blood leak from my nose!

"Mouuuu, don't suddenly start hogging Ren-senpai all to yourselves senpai's!"

Kunou-san gave a complaint, but it was so adorable that it really should've been illegal along time ago. I could seriously hug this girl all night long! B-But, I don't mean in a weird way or anything...

{Yeah, don't hog Boss mans time like that!}

Ehehe, even though Bennia-san said it with a cute sounding voice, it didn't sound as cute as I thought it would. Maybe its because she keeps calling me 'Boss man' and until I know what that means...

"Ara ara, don't be so fussy now, or I might have to become upset."

Both girls stiffened and shook their heads violently. Kiba-chan also looked a little frightened and to be honest, I was also. Kurumi-chan has that certain quality of instilling fear onto certain people.

"W-We should go."

Agreeing with me, we all started going forward, towards the clubroom.

So, this is how it goes now. Kurumi-chan having my right arm, Kiba-chan on the left arm. With Kunou-san having a hold of my left hand, and Bennia-san on my right hand. What a lovely formation! Four cuties! And all for Ren! Hehehe, this is the best, right now!

---

When we made it to the clubroom...

"So, its time for the reflection week." I heard Elmen-chan say something, and it sounded serious. "Yes, once again, we're having a reflection week. Now, its time to search for the good points of the previous week...yes, lets see..."

When she said something about reflection week, I saw everyone visibly stiffen. Even Kurumi-chan stiffened...Kurumi-chan! She actually looked a little fearful! W-Wait, what's happening!? If even Kurumi-chan visibly stiffens, then I don't know what's going on!

"Ooh no...Elmen-chan's reflection week..."

Kiba-chan mumbled, giving a sad sigh.

"Elmen-chan...she's doing her reflection week again."

Kunou-san cried out, hugging me. Is there something wrong with what Elmen-chan is doing? Bennia-san just hugged me silently, and rubbed her head against my chest softly.

What is a reflection week? Do they reflect on what they've done in the past week or something? Isn't that a good thing? Yet, even though I think that, all of the girls are wearing troubled expressions.

I looked at Kurumi-chan, who was biting her lip. For even Kurumi-chan too look like that is...

"Okay, what's reflection week? Is it something bad?"

I voiced my doubt, and Kiba-chan responded with a sad sigh.

"Its Elmen-chan's reflection week. She asks everyone that's in the club what their best moment was, and what their worst moment was, and then they have to reflect on that. And Elmen-chan doesn't let you go if you can't come up with a good, valid good and bad points. I remember three weeks ago where she made Koneko-chan upset because she couldn't come up with anything."

...She actually made Koneko-chan upset because she couldn't think of anything to say? That's...awful. How could she make Koneko-chan upset because she couldn't think of anything to say?

"Hey...erm, if she's this bad, why don't you just...leave?"

I thought it would be obvious. If they don't wanna hear it, can't they just leave the area or something? Wouldn't that make sense?

"Because she's scary senpai!" Kunou-san cried with anguish, hugging me even tighter. "Kunou's scared when Elmen-chan is talking about the reflection stuff! Most of the time, Kunou can't think of anything and she becomes frightened!"

D-Damn. Kunou-san is really frightened huh. She was even sobbing slightly. What the hell is this? What has Elmen-chan done? I bent down to Kunou-sans level and she wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me closer.

"I-Its alright Kunou-san, if you don't want to go in there, then we don't have to. Would you rather go someplace else?"

"Y-Yes senpai! Kunou doesn't want to go in there anymore! Please senpai! Can't we go someplace else!?"

Damn, I didn't think she would be so frightened...

"Y-Yeah, why don't we all go back to my place? T-That is to say that I'm not inviting you because I want four cute women in my apartment...ehehe, I mean that if you don't want to go in there..."

OPEN!

Before we had time to move, the door was burst open and what was revealed, was Elmen-chan. She had a book in her hand, and a mean look in her eyes. All of us froze the instant she looked at us. I couldn't move, and no one could either.

"Ara, it seems that you were trying to escape huh. I don't think so ladies, and gentleman. Please come inside, and allow me to hand you the booklet on your reflection."

...Okay, that was...okay. She wants to hand a booklet on our reflection huh. When hearing that, Kunou-san hugged me even tighter, and wrapped her legs around my waist! S-Shit! She's actually full body hugging me right now!

"K-Kunou-san..."

"No! Please don't make Kunou go alone senpai! She'll target Kunou as she doesn't like Kunou! She thinks Kunou is a bad girl when Kunou really isn't a bad girl! Kunou just likes being friendly and Elmen-chan hates that about Kunou!"

Ehehe, doesn't look like I'm getting out of this huh. She's got a really tight grip huh. Her legs, and arms are tightly around me, and she's even shivering. Is this Elmen-chan's reflection week really that scary?

"A-Alright, calm down Kunou-san. Don't worry, I will keep you safe from Elmen-chan. I'll be there for you, Kunou-san and make sure Elmen-chan doesn't go too far."

Kurumi-chan snickered as did Bennia-san. Kiba-chan was sweatdropping, and Elmen-chan wasn't happy about it. But before she could say anything, Kunou-san nuzzled my neck lovingly, happily resting her head on my shoulder...damn, that's too cute Kunou-san.

"Hehehe, thank you senpai! Kunou knew senpai would protect Kunou!"

I-If she becomes anymore cute, I might die of cuteness overload! I seriously will!

"Now, get inside here at once."

Elmen-chan ordered, using a serious voice. We all looked at one another, before entering the room. I had to of course carry Kunou-san, since she wouldn't let go. But I don't mind, as she's light, and adorable.

Once entering the room, I saw a down Koneko-chan, Ise-kun looked like he was ready to claw out his own throat. Akeno-san had depressed eyes, and Buchou looks like she's losing the will to live. As for Millicas-chan, she's looking very down right now.

"H-Hey, everyone."

They look up, and focused on me...its kind of like the life has been drained from them. Ooh Maou, is it really so bad that they have to sit through this reflection of Elmen-chan's?

Although, when Millicas-chan saw Kunou-san in my arms, her eyes sharpened quite considerably. No, it was more like her eyes were getting more and more angry. W-Whats that about?

"I better go and sit down."

From behind me, Kiba-chan goes forward, sitting down next to Koneko-chan. Bennia-san goes past me as well, and sits next to Millicas-chan, who eyes aren't off me. No, its more accurate to say that she hasn't taken her eyes off Kunou-san in the slightest.

Kurumi-chan lightly ran her hand down my back, before going past me. For a second or so, I could've sworn that she was going to grope me or something. But she didn't, and she sat next to Kiba-chan, who visibly stiffened.

"Get inside."

Elmen-chan once again gave me an order, and I walked in slightly. Kunou-san, never letting her grip die off, kept mumbling things in my ear, about her not being taken by Elmen-chan.

"Rensuke-senpai, p-please sit here."

Millicas-chan patted the free side of her on the couch, giving me a dazzling smile.

I went over to Millicas-chan and sat beside her, and Kunou-san was placed onto my lap! Shit! Now I've gotten a Loli on my lap! A genuine Loli sat on my lap! Geez, and even Ise-kun snickering and mouthing 'Lolicon Prince' towards me! Piss off baka!

Actually, I kind of like this...it isn't that bad. And her snuggling up to me is really adorable. I couldn't help but notice that Kunou-san was even getting really comfortable on my lap, and looks like she might fall asleep any second.

As soon as I sat down, Millicas-chan wrapped her arms around my arm, and put her head on my shoulder.

"M-Millicas-chan, is something wrong?"

"N-No senpai. I just missed you today...hehe, it feels like I'm getting more and more attached to senpai each day." I blushed, as she looked at Kunou-san. "Also, Kunou. There's no reason to bother your senpai and sit on h-his lap...besides, that's really personal and if you..."

She couldn't finish as Kunou-san just wriggled around and shook her head. Who knew that Loli fox was really clingy?

"No! Kunou isn't moving! Elmen-chan is doing her scary business again! Kunou doesn't wanna be frightened again!"

"B-But Kunou, if you sit on senpai's lap when even I haven't sat on his lap before..." Millicas-chan put on a jealous face, and with matching eyes, I couldn't help but feel a little giddy at it. "...A-Anyway, senpai. Are you okay? After the Fallen Angels this morning...I'm so sorry that you keep getting targeted."

Laced with concern, she asked me with a sad face. Responding to that, I adopted a smile, to elevate her worries.

"N-No, it isn't your fault...but Millicas-chan, I need to know how to fight, you know? I know its only been a number of days, but I seem to be getting more and more unwanted attention."

No way I could've put it then, wouldn't of sounded offending. But I needed to tell her, in fear that I would be targeted even more. That's when Millicas-chan showed a more upset face, giving me a cute expression.

"Yes, that's right. I'm already in the middle of thinking of a training regime for you, senpai. I realize senpai wishes to get stronger, so I've been doing training planning for you. We'll of course have to work on your stamina, and see what kind of fighter you are. And of course, we'll have to find a good way of using your Sacred Gear."

"Hehe, that's all I want Millicas-chan. As long as I can defend myself and others in the future."

That's all I want after all. To be able to defend myself and other people from certain people. Fallen Angels, and other creatures. But her face is telling me that she's taking it as seriously as I am.

"Yes, until then I will love senpai's front side...w-wait, I mean wont leave senpai's side! Ehehe, love...ehehe, I didn't mean love senpai! Just leave! W-Wait, I wasn't telling you to leave! I was just saying that I wont leave senpai, ever. But of course that doesn't mean I don't love senpai as he's my important servant...but when I say love, I don't mean as in romantically, but that doesn't mean senpai isn't attractive...ooh crap! Senpai, I mean you're really handsome and kind and would be the perfect boyfriend! B-Boyfriend!? I didn't mean to say that senpai! Please-"

I put a finger to her lips, to silence her freak out. She really is a weird girl. She can talk for Japan.

"I get it Millicas-chan, thank you."

Her face turned crimson, and she nodded her head softly.

"N-No, don't worry. I don't want senpai to disappear after all. So, giving training to fight against Fallen Angels and Angels, is a good thing, right senpai?"

I nodded, and petted her head. Her face turned even more crimson and she nuzzled against my hand. W-Why does she have to be so darn cute? Is it something to do with these Gremory girls?

"And, while we're on the subject of Fallen Angels." Buchou brought up, looking at Ise-kun. "Ise, don't ever go close to the Church again." She warned to my annoyance. "To us Devils, the Church is an enemy's territory. Just stepping into it can cause a rift between the Devils and God. Since it was an act of kindness by taking the Nun to the Church, they didn't harm you, but the Angels are always on the lookout. You were in a situation where it wouldn't be strange for them to hit you with a spear of light. Even the Fallen Angels might've been around, looking for an excuse to spear you."

She's talking to him as if he's a freaking child. I knew that she would say something, but to talk to him like that is...it really pisses me off. I can't see why she can talk to him as if he's a child...

And when she said something about the Angels. So, an Angel would attack a Devil if they're guiding a Sister to a Church? No, in myths, Angels are supposed to be the good guys, and Devils are the bad guys.

I can't say for the Fallen Angels right now, since they seem to attack me. But when looking at Kalawarner's eyes, I could tell that she was thinking about what Kurumi-chan and I were saying...probably more so my words than Kurumi-chan's actually. Since Kurumi-chan was just threatening her.

While I was thinking about it, she continued with a harsh tone.

"Don't get involved with people from the Church. Especially the Exorcists who are our biggest enemy. They could easily eliminate us because their powers are supported by the prayer of God. More so if it is an Exorcist with a Sacred Gear. That would be the same as standing on the boundary of death, Ise."

She called his name, and he lifted his head up as if he's done something wrong...when he hasn't, really.

"Y-Yes."

"You could avoid death as a human by being resurrected as a Devil. But Devils who are exorcised become completely terminated. They return to nothing. Nothing. There is nothing left and you feel nothing. Do you know how serious that is?"

She's talking to him as if he's done something horrid. He isn't stupid and he knows what he shouldn't of done, but I don't think he's done something that's really so terrible. Actually, I think its quite admirable.

He helped a Nun, and if that's bad, then what's good? Ise-kun told me about this Nun...Argento...erm...something or other and from what he said, she was apparently a good soul, who wouldn't harm a fly. And it seems that Kurumi-chan was correct in the respect that she has a Sacred Gear. Some healing thing apparently.

And she's saying things like you're going to die, and that you're going to return to nothing. Its times like this that I'm thankful that Millicas-chan is my Master...erm, rather my King than Buchou is. She'd put it more nicely, and wouldn't say anything like this. And I'm not letting her get away with it...

"Please don't senpai."

Seeing my frustration and my willingness to say something, Millicas-chan put her hand on my thigh, and gently calmed me.

"B-But she can't..."

"I...I know that Onee-sama is blunt, and...she has good intentions. I know she seems to be saying these things spitefully, and even a little cockily, but Onee-sama only has Hyoudou-senpai's best interests at heart. If you would have lead the Nun girl to the Church, I would've been frightened for your safely as well."

"Yeah, I know. And I know that if even a single thing disastrous happens, it could cause an imbalance of the factions, which is a bad thing. But she could put it better in the future, you know? He's a teenager, not a child."

When I said it, I saw that she was giving me an annoyed expression...hmph, she can look at me like that all she wants. If she wants peoples respects, she has to earn it, like Millicas-chan has done with me. She's done so much for me, and she's always defending me, and she never talks down to me as if I'm a child or stupid. If I had been placed in Rias-senpai's peerage, I would've been against her, until she earned my respect. Ise-kun just follows her because...well, she has a huge bust. If he saw how she is really treating him, then he'd be pissed as well.

Kurumi-chan's expression was that of a slight sadistic nature, also she seemed to be having a laugh to herself, hearing what I said. Elmen-chan also wore an expression close to Kurumi-chan's, albeit it was slightly less sadistic touch. Kunou-san whispered "Senpai is so right." within my ear, and Bennia-san was giving me the thumbs up sign.

Well well well, even Millicas-chan's peerage are on my side. They seem to see sense, and if I look carefully, even Akeno-san and Kiba-chan are nodding to what I said. Koneko-chan wasn't showing a expression, but her eyes are telling me that she was happy with what I said.

Millicas-chan shot a dark look towards Buchou, who huffed slightly and looked away from me, crossing her arms. Then, she looked at Ise with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry Ise, I got too heated then. I was only concerned, and your friend is right. I should've talked to you like an equal, rather than someone who was a child. Just, from now on, be careful."

"Yes, Buchou."

It seemed that it ended on good terms, and she apologized, so I will let it go for now. In the future though, she says anything deameaning, and I'm calling her out on it. I don't care if she's a high class Devil, in this school, she's the same as everyone else. I don't care if she's a Princess or whatever, to me she's just a girl like everyone else. Respect is earned, not just demanded from the get go. She should take a page out of Millicas-chan's books. She has more than earned my respect already.

Millicas-chan then looked up at me with cute eyes.

"You were right senpai, Onee-sama could word it better, and I'm glad you defended your friend. And I'm also glad that Onee-sama apologized. But that was partly thanks to you and your loyalty to your friend. It means that you truly are loyal to the people that you respect."

She so gets it. I knew that Millicas-chan would get it. Its like we're on the same wavelength or something. How could she understand such a thing? She really is bright and on the ball huh.

"Exactly, I'm glad that you think that. And of course I'm loyal. As long as you have my respect, I will go to the ends of the earth for you, and do everything I can to help you the best I can."

"Of course! I knew senpai would be special and kind hearted like that!"

As soon as she said that, Akeno-san came forward, smiling like the beauty she is.

"Ara ara, it seems that all of the heated argument has gone away. Although, some of it was really...exhilarating." When saying that, Akeno-san gave me a look that was so cute, and slightly sadistic as well. "Buchou, Millicas-sama. We've received two orders to hunt from the Arch Duke."

"Two?"

Buchou asked, as Millicas-chan stood up, and cheered.

"Yes! That means, I can teach Rensuke-senpai about the Evil Pieces and we get to hunt which some of my more...battle oriented peerage members love doing."

I cocked my head.

"Millicas-chan, when you say hunting...?"

She faced me, and beamed cutely.

"Senpai, we're going to hunt a Stray Devil."

"Stray Devil...?"

She only smiled, and did a peace sign towards me.

"Yay! We missed Elmen-chan's reflection week!"

Kunou-san certainly seemed spirited, and Elmen-chan seemed down. Ehehehe, I hope something of this reflection week doesn't come back to bite me in the ass.

---

[Outskirts of Kuoh]

Stray Devil.

That was a word that was going around in my head for awhile. The Devil who was turned into a Servant Devil of a Devil with a peerage but who betrayed or killed its Master. They leave their Master, and cause mayhem in other areas. Either the Master, or the Devils that are in charge of the town the Stray Devils happen to be in, are ordered to eliminate these Devils.

That's what a Stray Devil is. And in a certain area of Kuoh, that's outside the town, a Stray Devil has been luring people. Every night for the past couple of days, according to what the intel said. It also eats people, which is scary, since Kurumi-chan kept saying things like that.

So Millicas-chan, myself, Elmen-chan, Kunou-san (who's holding my hand tightly), Kurumi-chan (who's dressed in that gothic lolita outfit again) and Bennia-san came to this area outside Kuoh.

"Ooh yeah, the smell of blood~ Personally I would prefer a certain someone's, but this will satisfy me as well."

Elmen-chan...looks satisfied right now. She's even showing a sunny disposition. Geez, you shouldn't say things like that, as it is very scary. You shouldn't like the smell of blood. And what was that about a certain someone's? She doesn't want to actually draw blood from a person, right?

"Ewwww, this smell isn't good Elmen-chan. It makes me feel quite sick."

Kunou-san covered her nose, and gave a displeased face. At least she's normal. Smelling blood isn't good Elmen-chan

"Actually, I like the smell of fresh blood in the evening. Especially after a good meal ufufufu~ Say Rensuke-san, are you excited at smelling blood right now?"

A-And once again, Kurumi-chan is scaring me. Why do these girls find it fun to scare me? I haven't done anything to them, yet they are saying blood smells delicious and lovely...when it isn't.

"E-Ehe...not really."

I gave an uneven laugh and replied like that. Hearing it though, Kurumi-chan's features turned to a sideways pout.

"Ooh? Why not? You always liked a good kill in the evening~"

"I've never killed anyone, nor do I like the idea of killing people. It doesn't appeal to me Kurumi-chan."

"That's what you say now~"

"That's what I'm always going to say~"

I mimicked her childishness, and answered with a slight smile. On the inside though, I was shivering a little. She seemed serious about what she said. I can't think that I would love killing...its immoral.

{Kurumi-senpai, don't scare Boss man now~ He's a newbie Devil after all, he hasn't had the experience that we've had.}

At last. A voice of reason! Bennia-san is literally a good girl right now! Kurumi-chan turned her nose up at Bennia-san, who rolled her eyes and got out her...scythe. That thing looks deadly right now.

"Alright senpai. Today, you'll see how Devils fight. While you wont be participating, you'll see how each of my servants fight, and see if there's a style that would fit you, and if you might want to delve into that style."

"Alright, so now we're talking!"

Yes! I can learn to fight from hereon out!

"Hehe, that we are senpai. I'll also explain the traits of the servants to you."

"The traits...I think you said something about that before? It has to do with the pieces of the Evil Pieces right? The Bishop and Pawn and whatever else there is."

She nodded, and edged closer to me, slightly giving Kunou-san an annoyed expression. But that expression was then nullified as she gently grasped my hand...why is she grasping my hand?

"That's exactly it senpai. Now onto the history of the Devils..."

She then went onto explain the history and the Evil Pieces and Rating Games. She didn't tell me the traits of each piece, but I had a pretty good idea on what was what. There are some pieces I'm not so sure about, but I will learn soon enough. She also said that because she isn't old enough, she hasn't participated in a Rating Game yet, and maybe she wont for sometime. But I got the feeling that something else was going on there. She seemed to be thinking about something deeply when it was mentioned...meh, maybe she wants to play in one.

After her explanation, my mind kept getting drawn to my piece. She's told me that the Evil Pieces are based on chess and that. But she's never told me what piece I actually am. If its such a secret...why? Why would it be a secret...?

"Okay Millicas-chan, what's my piece? And what's my role exactly? You've been secrective for awhile now..." It was then I saw that everyone was snickering at me...don't snicker! "And while we're on it, everyone stop laughing at me! I'm something awful aren't I!?"

"Hehe, sorry senpai. I've been meaning to explain about it, but I wouldn't know how you'd take it. I guess there's no point in hiding it anymore. So senpai, the piece you are is-"

She trailed off there, and I knew the reason why.

We had found it.

A Stray Devil. I could feel it approaching, despite me being new to this and all.

"I can smell something disgusting. But I can also smell something delicious. Is it sweet? Or is it sour?"

A low voice which is coming from below the ground. This weirdness isn't normal. Just hearing its voice scares me. Even that smell that the girls were talking about is getting stronger, and I can smell it.

Ewww, like Kunou-san said, its disgusting. I had to even cover my nose with my sleeve because it was that gross. I didn't want to look at where that smell was coming from, because I know its going to be something disgusting.

"Stray Devil Vaizor. We are here to eliminate you."

Millicas-chan announced, giving off a slight killing intent, yet hasn't let go of my hand. Even in situations like this, she wants to hold my hand huh.

The next thing I knew, I had turned around fully and saw that...ooh Maou. I wish I hadn't turned around now.

It's a grotesque being with an unnatural form having a woman's upper body and the lower body of a monster. It's holding something that looks like a spear in both of its hands, maybe they could be called lances. The lower body of the monster has four fat legs with sharp claws. The monster looks to be around 5 metres tall. If standing on her hind legs, it would most likely be twice as tall.

"Leaving your Masters side and rampaging as you please definitely deserve death. In the name of Maou-sama Sirzechs-sama, I will gladly eliminate you!"

Sirzechs-sama...Maou-sama...? Didn't she say that her Otou-sama was a Maou-sama? Does that mean that this Sirzechs-sama is really her...Otou-sama? I'll have to ask her later, if I remember.

"You are cunning for a little girrrrrrl! I will rip your body, and colour it in red just like your haaaaaaair!"

"Hmph, you're certainly speaking in a stylish manner. Bennia."

{Yes!}

As soon as Millicas-chan gave the order, Bennia-san sped off in speeds I couldn't even conceive of. She was literally like a bullet. Too fast for someone with my eyes. If I didn't see her speed off then, I wouldn't of believed it.

"She's going to be alright, isn't she?"

Maybe it was a dumb question, but I'm concerned for Bennia-san.

Kunou-san stroked my hand softly, giving me a cute smile.

"Its okay senpai. Bennia-chan is really skilled. To be honest, anyone of us here could elliminate that Devil, but Millicas-chan is trying to teach you the traits of the servants, by seeing rather than hearing."

Makes sense. Seeing is believing after all. And Millicas-chan isn't showing any fear, and is remaining completely calm. I guess that if she was a threat, everyone would be tense.

"Rensuke-senpai, I will continue the lecture from before." She said, in a serious tone. So totally different to how she usually is. "Bennia's position is Knight. Its trait is speed. Those who become a Knight have their speed increased."

Just like Millicas-chan said, Bennia-san's speed increases, and eventually I wasn't able to follow her movements with my eyes. She was insanely fast. She was even leaving afterimages, I believe they are called. The monster is using its spears to attack, but it didn't seem like it will hit. Of course, if something that massive could hit a small and slender girl like Bennia-san, then I'd be doomed.

"And Bennia's ultimate weapon is that scythe. Which is also called Death Scythe."

Bennia-san suddenly stopped, and held up this so-called Death Scythe. From the moon, light bounced off the blade of the scythe, giving an eerie feeling to anyone that was around.

The next moment, Bennia-san disappeared again, and then the monster released a howl. When I looked, both of its arms are cut from its torso along with the spear. Blood gushes out of its wound and splatters across the ground.

"This is Bennia's power. Speed that you can't follow with your eyes, and scythe skills of a professional. By combining these two, she becomes the fastest Knight."

She's the fastest Knight huh. She was really fast. Something I couldn't even keep up with. But...if she was that fast, and Kurumi-chan was fast as well. Does that mean she is as fast as Kurumi-chan? Or is she faster than Kurumi-chan? Or, is Kurumi-chan faster than Bennia-san.

"So basically, she's very fast, but she isn't so good in defence, right kohai?"

I made a guess, basing it on what I witnessed. She's fast, so she wouldn't have to worry about defence, meaning that is what she lacks.

"That's exactly it senpai. Bennia is good at fast attacks, but defence is...well, suffice to say that as long as Bennia is faster than her enemy, she's going to be alright. Fortunately, I've never met anyone who is as fast as Bennia, with some exceptions though. Kiba-senpai is...I think they're as fast as each other."

She said with a proud voice. Millicas-chan is really serious right now, that its actually...awesome. She's really cute when she's serious. But she said about Kiba-chan? She must be a Knight as well.

Bennia-san stopped there, holding her scythe in front of her. Is she an idiot? She's standing right in front of the enemy in a relaxed position. She is so going to get attacked if she just stays there like that.

But as I was about to berate her for it, I saw a shadow go past me, rushing towards the enemy.

"E-Elmen-chan!"

Yeah, its Elmen-chan! She does realized that there is a difference in height right!? If that thing lifts its legs up, and stomps, she's going to be crushed! She must be high or something if she's doing things like this!

"I'M GOING TO CRUSH YOU, YOU LITTLE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORM!"

The monster released a howl, and as expected, it lifted up its large tree trunk like leg, and brought it down! When I was about to go and stop her, Millicas-chan put out her palm.

"Its okay senpai." She assured. "Elmen is my Rook."

I watched in astonishment as Elmen-chan's small body wasn't crushed at all. Instead, she actually managed to lift up that grotesque monster, above her head!

"The trait of a Rook is simple. Absolute strength. And also very high defence. It's impossible for a Devil with that caliber to stamp on Elmen. It can't crush her."

"Wow, so that's what a Rook can do. So, basically she's like a fist fighter that can obliterate things with her fists, and she's also good with the defence as well. But with the weakness...I guess its speed huh."

Definitely, someone I need to watch out for. If she can punch things into Oblivion, its something I need to be on the lookout for.

"That's right senpai. She's pretty tough, and added onto her explosive personality, she's the best Rook although like with most Rooks, the speed is an issue. They have overwhelming power, but if they can't hit their target, then...but Elmen is everyday learning more and more, and is becoming faster."

Elmen-chan looked up at the monster, and grinned.

"Now, its time for you to fucking fly!"

BANG!

Elmen-chan, like the power of a train, punched the monster upwards. Elmen-chan didn't stop there, as she jumped up, and grabbed it by the head, and swung it around. The speed she's going at is neck breaking.

"Hyaaa!"

She did a number of flips, before throwing the enemy onto the ground, and she landed in front of it with a wink for me...why is she winking at me like that?

"And that's how its done~"

So said Elmen-chan in a happy voice.

"Next is Kurumi."

Ooh Maou, its Kurumi-chan. She isn't going to eat this Stray Devil is she? Because I don't want to see that. She was a scary ass girl back when she fought the Fallen Angels. Now she's going to be fighting.

"Ara ara, so this is me now? Millicas-san, you don't want me to kill this one, right?"

"Correct. Please just deal some damage."

"As you wish."

Kurumi-chan took a step forward, getting out her flintlock, and her musket. Not what I would expect a Devil to use if I'm honest. But Kurumi-chan walked forward, a happy step in her walking.

"Now to explain the Bishop." Millicas-chan continued the conversation. "Kurumi is my Bishop. Kurumi has the power to manipulate time. She can slow it, stop it, reverse it, speed it up, and some more applications. Kurumi uses the power of the Bishop to enhance these traits."

"Enhance?"

I asked as Kurumi-chan got out her flintlock, pointing it at her head.

"Ara ara, its time to speed things up."

That clock appeared behind Kurumi-chan and she shot herself in the head, then, she pointed her flintlock at the monster. The monsters breasts...gained a magic circle each and from the tips, shots of magical power came out.

Kurumi-chan, using her enhanced speed, manoeuvred her body out of the way of the monsters attacks. The monsters body shook slightly as Kurumi-chan's face showed a distorted smile.

"And its time for you to freeze."

Once again, the flintlock and the clock glowed in unison. Then, she pulled the trigger and a bullet came out of it. It was black and made me shiver. Due to the damage it had been dealt with before by Bennia-san and Elmen-chan, the monster had no choice but to let the bullet hit it dead on.

"The Bishop gains enhanced magical powers, which they can use to do a multitude of spells. Healing, offensively and defensively. However the more powerful the spell, the more magical power that's expended."

Kurumi-chan walked forward, and pointed her musket at the monsters first leg. A fearless smile appeared on her face.

"Ara ara, you're a bad girl. But you still have legs...what should I do about that?"

BANG!

Ooh! As soon as she pulled the trigger, a large blast came out of her musket, and it blew off one of its legs! Blood gushed out of the now open space where its leg USED to be! She blew off the monsters leg!

"Kurumi's specialty is time manipulation. But her musket is mainly used for dealing damage. She can also use it as an offensive melee weapon should she need it, although Kurumi is more of a long range fighter. Generally, she uses it to fire blasts of demonic power and other powers as well."

So that's what Kurumi-chan is huh. She's a long range magical power user. But she is good at using her musket to hit people with, with enough force to completely blow away her opponents.

"Ara ara, it seems you have another leg~" Kurumi-chan's face has a face on that seems to be draped in sexual desire, and sadism. "Its alright though, I shall make the numbers more balanced."

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Damn it. She's really going for it too much now huh. She's blown off not only the legs, but also left massive holes in its torso, and shoulders. She's even blown off the monsters breasts. And through all of that, Kurumi-chan's face was that of pleasure. She was really getting off on shooting this Stray Devil. There's even lots of blood gushing out, painting the ground red.

For a minute or so, I watched a rather gruesome scene. Kurumi-chan was having fun, and I was looking on with fear and apprehension. Even the other members were shaking slightly from the display.

Eventually though, she stopped, and spun on her heels, showing that ever so scary sinister smile.

"Millicas-san, this ones boring. I'm not having any fun now. She's not even worth eating. Someone else can do something." Kurumi-chan walked over to me, and hugged me, putting her head on my chest, her breasts crushing themselves onto my stomach! "I will admit that it was slightly arousing when you watched me with intense eyes."

A-Arousing when I was watching!? S-She can't say things like that and have a normal face on!

"A-Ah, right...erm...this...there wouldn't be a point...I will tell you about Kunou in a minute." Millicas-chan was sweatdropping, and glaring at the latched on Kurumi-chan and Kunou-san who was still holding my hand tightly. She then walked forward, standing in front of the monster. "Do you have any last words?"

She was so cold then. A huge contrast to what she's usually like.

"...Kill me...please..."

Its even begging for death...Kurumi-chan, you've basically destroyed this enemy in body and mind. That's some scary idea to accept.

"Then, die."

Again, I was stunned by her reply. So cold and unforgiving.

A gigantic black mass of demonic power is shot out from Millicas-chan's palms. It's so big that it can cover all of the monster's body. The mass of demonic power devours the monster's body. When the demonic power disappears, so did the monster's body. There wasn't even any traces left of that monster. Nothing. Not even a spec was left.

That's the power of Millicas-chan.

A power that can erase anything from existence. What a thing. Even the coldness in the air is slowly dissipating, along with the smell of death that lingered within the area.

However, Millicas-chan...

I didn't think my cute Millicas-chan could have such a coldness in her voice and such a power to erase things from this world without a trace. If I didn't know any better, then I would say that she's even more cold that Kurumi-chan. But I could see it in her eyes.

She didn't like it.

It was obviously for someone like me. She didn't like killing, but she knew she had too. She killed the Stray Devil, and looked unhappy about it. Seeing her face like that was an unpleasant sight.

For some reason, my body moved closer to hers, and I wrapped my arms around her.

"S-Senpai, what's wrong?"

"Its nothing. I just thought that you did a great job and deserved a hug."

I lied. I didn't really want to say the truth, because the truth is...she just killed and hated it. And I hated it that she hated it.

"O-Oh, thank you very much senpai. I do what I can."

She was blushing, and rested her head on my shoulder, snuggling in happily. I stroked the back of her head, running my fingers through her long hair. I love her hair, its always so soft.

"Hehe, you did very well, Millicas-chan."

"Thank you! Also senpai, I will explain Kunou now. Kunou, is my Pawn. A Pawn has the power of promotion. Kunou can become any piece other than the King with either my permission, or a place where I designate enemy territory. Meaning, she can become the Knight, Bishop, Rook, or Queen. And lastly the Queen."

"The Queen..."

I mumbled, and she gave a nod.

"Yes, the Queen. The Queen has the power of Knight, Rook, and Bishop. The Queen is the most balanced, as well as the most powerful piece. The Queen actually is the second in command, if you think of it on terms as a fighting force. The King, me, being the leader, and the Queen being the vice leader."

So that's the Queen. The Queen is the leader and...wait.

Who's the Queen?

Kurumi-chan is the Bishop, Kunou-san is the Pawn, Bennia-san is the Knight and Elmen-chan is the Rook. Millicas-chan is the King, so who's the Queen? I've mentioned everyone in the peerage...

Ooh, I just got a sinking feeling...

A feeling within the pit of my stomach...

"I'm going to regret this, but what piece am I Millicas-chan? Am I a Rook? Knight? Bishop? Pawn?"

She turned to me, and poked her fingers together shyly.

"Y-You see. When reincarnating you, I couldn't use any of my pieces except for one. Your talents, were too high for the remaining Pawns I had. You, are my most important piece senpai."

"S-So...a Rook right...?"

I cried, already guessing what piece I was. I could see it on the others smirking faces as well. But there might be a sliver of hope...just a tiny sliver of hope. Any would do...

"Rensuke-senpai..." Everyone was smirking, and Millicas-chan was smiling. "...You, are my most adorable Queen! You're my most important Queen who I will cherish forever and ever!"

FLASH!

At the same time, I learned the truth, everyone's phones (bar Millicas-chan's and Kunou-sans) went off, flashing at me! D-Don't tell me that they just took a picture of that!?

And what was Millicas-chan saying? I'm her most adorable Queen!? That's not what I want to be known as! I'm Millicas' most important adorable Queen! It fills me with no pride whatsoever. While I know that technically, I'm the strongest piece, being the Queen seems...

"Why did you three take pictures of me then!?"

[To savour the moment.]

W-Why are they in tandem with one another!?

"W-What the hell!?" I cried, rubbing my eyes with my sleeves. "Y-You didn't have to answer at the same time! And what's with the smirking faces girls!? If I'm your Queen, you should..." Ooh Maou, even saying that made me sound like a girl. "...as your second in command, you shouldn't make fun of me! I'm just a boy, not someone you can make fun of!"

"Sorry, Rensuke-san. But it is a funny life savouring moment. The expression on your face, was so cute. Seeing your life being brought down around you filled me up with desire like no other."

Kurumi-chan's face puffed out, and she suppressed a laugh. Bennia-san was downright laughing at me, and Elmen-chan was laughing dirtily. This is not funny! I don't see the comical side to it!

"Ooh Rensuke-senpai, there's no need to cry about it." Millicas-chan comforted, giving me a big hug. "Truthfully, I was only able to use my Queen to revive you. It means, that you have an extreme amount of talent."

An extreme amount of talent...I have an extreme amount of talent...

"My Queen, shall I fetch you your corset and your midnight tea?"

That blonde Loli...I knew she would get me with something...

"THAT'S IT ELMEN-CHAN! YOU'RE GOING TO GET PUNISHED!"

I yelled, and rushed her. She giggled and ran away as well!

"Mwhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahaha! Come and get me then Queen boy~!"

She teased, giving me a dirty peace sign! I'm not holding back anymore! She's going to get punished for her evilness! She's going to get the telling off of a lifetime!

"DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! DON'T CALL ME QUEEN BOY!"

"THEN BOY QUEEN WILL HAVE TO DO!"

"ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!"

Damn this Loli was fast. She is able to outrun me, and tease me at the same time. She keeps taking pictures of me and threatening to send them! She's going to ruin me this Loli! How can I keep this life going!?

"Rensuke-senpai! Come here for a second!"

I stopped, and looked at Millicas-chan. She gestured me over and I walked over calmly.

"What is it?"

She leaned up, giving me a bright red face. I was suspicious on what she was doing, until I saw her head go near my face. Millicas-chan puckered her lips, and gave me a kiss...on the cheek!

"I know that Rensuke-senpai will be the best Queen. And that was for putting up with the others harsh comments."

My face turned crimson, like her beautiful hair. S-She kissed my cheek...that was...that kiss was...she actually gave my kiss a cheek...for reasons I can't fathom...

"Y-Yeah...I will definitely become the best Queen for you. A-And...that was..."

I couldn't even finish it. Somehow, I don't mind being a Queen right now. I just got a kiss from Millicas-chan. Granted it was on my cheek. But a kiss on the cheek is a kiss on the cheek, and I will take that.

"Queen boy got a girl King kiss on the cheek~!"

"Ara ara, the girl King gave the boy Queen a kiss on the cheek~"

{Hehehe~ The Boss Queen man got a little lip action on the cheek from Millicas-chan~!}

I've had enough! They're all picking on me and it isn't fair!

"THATS IT! ELMEN-CHAN! KURUMI-CHAN! BENNIA-SAN! YOU'RE GOING TO GET PUNISHED!"

They all laughed at me as I gave chase! They ruined the moment then! I was enjoying the kiss on the cheek and its aftermath! And now they're laughing at me with intense belly laughs.

"Hehe, how was kissing senpai's cheek, Millicas-chan?"

Kunou-san asked as I was half listening.

"Senpai's cheek was definitely the best, Kunou. Maybe one day...the lips..."

I didn't hear the rest after "Maybe one day." as I moved too far away from them. I chased the girls that were screaming "QUEEN BOY! QUEEN BOY!" at the top of their lungs. When I get to them, they're going to wish that they never crossed me!

So the night, pretty much ended up as the same as the began...absolutely terrible! Why can't my life be normal!? Is it too much to ask!?

---

End chapter! So Ren's learned that he's the Queen! And a little of a (hopefully) insight to his personality. Meaning, he will call people out if they're being unreasonable (from his perspective anyway) and how unsure he is about being a Devil. Unlike Ise, he isn't as accepting of the idea of being a Devil and involved with the supernatural. Plus there is a deeper reason for that which will be explored in the future.

Not much to add this time, except that Ise's mothers name is going to be...Kasane! The reason? Well, she just looked like that to me and a reviewer gave me the suggestion, and I liked it so, yeah! And you're probably wondering about Ise's dad in this...well, it will be revealed in time~

So, the harem for Ren is pretty complete now. Maybe one or two additions, most likely Gabriel. And yeah, the harem might be big, but all girls will get screen time, a good amount of screen time at that if that was anyone's fears and most of them are plot point characters for him, and are involved with his past. So erm...until next time!
