Disclaimer : I own the plot at the very least.
"Sigh… why do I have to do this?" I said to no one in particular. Paddling a bicycle lazily I move to where the light in a small portable that I got from Rias was blinking.
I should be enjoying myself playing an MMO right now so why the heck did I have drop flyer in the middle of the night?
How did this happen? I think back to the day when I learn that I was a Devil.
After Rias grudgingly allow me to watch my Favorite anime, we return back to our original topic.
"If you work under me, your new life might become very bright you know?"
Rias said that with a wink trying to look appealing and my reaction to that.
"Can I hand my resignation letter now?"
"To fast! In the first place when did you got the time to wrote this!?"
Rias, being a Tsukkomi master managed to do a Tsukkomi perfectly.
"Buchou… your voice."
Hearing Akeno reprimand her Rias managed to regain her composure as she set aside the letter that I just gave her. I have a feeling something like this was going to happen so I thought I might need to prepare a letter like that so I did that in the span of commercial break during the anime I watch. It wasn't that hard to wrote simple letter right?
"Ahem… I'm afraid quitting was not really an option. Once you were revive by me you were bound to work with me whether you want it or not."
What with that bullshit rule. Are you saying I have no choice but to work with her? Becoming her servant?
"By the way, if you work with me I will give you an allowance of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX yen per moth so how about it?"
"Sign me in!"
"Of course I could also- wait! That's it!? That's all it take to get you too agreed!?"
I'm not sure why Rias was surprised but the amount that she said just now was enough to entice any normal person to work with her no matter what. What? Money made the world go around you know so why would I refuse if she willing to pay me that much.
Well after I agree on the spur of the moment we start going on what I need to do as her servant.
Basically, the work of Devil are very simple. First of all they need to deliver the pamphlet to any place which was mark in the portable device which indicates the place where there are a person with a strong desire wanting to be fulfilled.
After that we only need to wait for the client to summon us from the pamphlet. Normally one would need complicated preparation in order to summon a Devil but with the Pamphlet that we deliver one would only need to wish it if one were to one to summon a Devil.
The Devil that was summoned would have a Job to grant the wish of the client. There are two ways to grant a wish in which one where we could use the Portable device that was given to us to grant the wish of the client. This was the easiest way since basically there was no need for me to do anything and let the device do all the work. But according to Rias relying on this to much make it harder for one to collect point as a Devil to raise our rank.
I'll get to the matter of rank later so the next method was to grant the wish of the client using our own power. This could give Devil a lot of point if it success but it would make it harder to grant wish of the client depending on what we capable of and what wish the client have.
That was the basic of what Devil did. And that was how I, Hiraga Saito found myself in the middle of the night delivering flyer after another.
"Sigh… although the pay was rather good but to have to do this every single night. It feels rather lonely."
Seeing that I have been doing this for almost a week now I seems to have develop a habit of talking to myself.
As I was just finish with one house and was about to go to the next.
Tap… tap…
The sound of footstep. In the middle of the night. Where everyone should have been fast asleep right now… well except those who are still engrossed playing MMO in the middle of the night like I was supposed to do.
"Ho… this is rare. To meet someone like you in the middle of the night."
From the direction of the footstep a black figure can be seen.
"Um…Sorry. I'm in the middle of work right now so… Bye?"
*Boom*
Without giving an answer a multiple spear of light strike at me. Since it wasn't the first time I've seen this and with my Devil sense I managed to avoid it on time… but.
"Fuh… trying to run? Don't even think abou-"
"Ahhhh! My bicycle!? Oi! Why did you have to destroy my bicycle!?"
"Ah… like I said don't even think about runn-"
"Like that matter! How do you think I'm going explain to this to my mom!? I'll be killed!"
"Uhh… I could compensate-"
"If you think money could compensate everything than we won't need a police!"
"W-what with this guy? I thought I just stumble to some newborn Devil but I never thought it will be someone with a screw loose in his head."
That guy seems to be mumbling something.
"Oi, I'm talking to you! Don't you think you could get away after destroying my bicycle and cause me to face my mom wrath after this."
I don't know when, but in the heat of a moment I've already summon my [Sacred Gear].
"Kuh… I'm leaving. It better not to get involve with this guy."
The man suddenly spread out out his Black wings ad start to flew.
"Like I'll let you go! I'll have you explain everything to my mom so she won't be angry at me!"
[Boost!]
All of a sudden I feel a sudden boost in strength. Not thinking much I jump at the guy before he could escape.
Seeing that I suddenly charge at him the guy throw a spear of light at me but right now I'm just focusing on dragging this guy with me so he could explain to my mom that he's the one that broke my bicycle so without second thought I punch through the spear of light making it vanish and went straight to the guy.
"Gah!"
My punch caused the guy to blown away crashing on the ground. That kind of loud noise might have attracted someone but for some reason no one is coming out from the house as if no one was aware of the loud noise.
Take that! That for destroying my bicycle. Hahaha… wait. Now that I think about it wasn't this guy a Fallen Angel. He have the same wings as Yuma so isn't this situation bad. I Hiraga Saito which just become a Devil for a week just happen to punch a genuine Fallen Angel to the ground. What if he got mad and decide to come for my life!?
"Kuku… I see, so the one that Azazel-sama told to supervise was you. I thought it was weird of why someone with just a [twice critical] need to be supervise but us but it seems he wasn't wrong after all."
That guy start to mutter something as he recover from my attack. Crap! I'm going to get killed!
"My name is Dohnaseek. Tell that to your master since it would be troublesome to kill you right- wait, he's gone!? OI! Don't run when people are still talking!"
There no way in hell I'm going to stand by when this guy could kill me any moment. Using the chance while he was talking about something, I grab my destroyed Bicycle and get away as fast as possible from here.
Is it my imagination or when I was running I seems to heard some sort of sound coming from my gauntlet.
[Boost!]
There that sound again. I'm not sure what happened and I was focusing on surviving right now so I keep speeding up and before I know it I was in front of my house.
Hah… hah… doesn't seems like that guy was chasing me so I could finally breath in relief. Looking at the destroy bicycle I notice that the flyer I put there was missing. It must have been destroy when that spear of light destroy my bicycle.
"Phew at least I escaped with my life."
What with that guy appearing all of a sudden? I only become a Devil for a week so shouldn't I've been facing a slime right now instead of some kind of boss class character. Sigh… I already regretted accepting Rias offer.
"Saito, why is the bicycle destroy and since when did you start having a cosplaying hobby?"
A Last Boss have appear!
My mom with scary look were looking at me asking for the destroy Bicycle and the [Boosted Gear] on my hand.
Although Rias seems to have cast some sort of spell for them to accept me being out in the middle of night was normal but it doesn't change the fact I was returning home with the destroy Bicycle and some sort of Cosplaying gauntlet on my left hand.
Damn that Rias. This is all her fault.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
"You were attacked by Fallen Angel!?"
Rias was shock after hearing my explanation. The next day early morning, I decide to told her what happened yesterday. Although my memory seems too vague after I arrive home but I did managed to tell her what happen until after I reach my home.
"Oi, you said before that if I become your servant I wouldn't have to worried about being attack by some other supernatural creature but look what happen last night!"
I decide to make my complain known to her. She did said that only Stray Devil would be attacked and if I become her servant there wouldn't be a need for me to be attack.
"It seems the Fallen Angel inside my territories have start becoming more bold lately. Perhaps it time to make my move." Rias seems to mutter something ignoring my outburst. "By the way… it good that you aren't hurt. If that Fallen Angel did something to you…"
Huh, so she did worried after all. That at least make me feel less angry a bit. But what with this atmosphere of her right now? That unknown Fallen Angel-san. You have my condolences.
I feel like I have to said this. And for some reason that Fallen Angel face appear as if retorting something about his name. Not that I would know of course considering I was focusing on running for my life back then.
"Fufu… if you scared then tonight you can sleep with Onee-san you know."
All of a sudden I can feel two big Marsmallow touching my back.
"Akeno-san, we're the same age or are you actually much older than you loo-"
"Asking a woman age… are you serious.."
"I'm sorry! Akeno-san is a full-fledged 17 years old and will remain that way forever!"
D-damn, that girl could be scary sometime.
"That good. Then, about my offer…"
"Hahaha… it not good tease your fellow student Akeno-san or else I might get the wrong Idea. Or is this one of those situation? The one called 'Honey Trap'? If you think that will work think again! I didn't get killed by my first girlfriend for nothing and I'll show you I could resist your charm like it was nothing!"
When you got kill by your first girlfriend on your first date you learn how to resist this kind seduction. Don't look down on me Akeno-san.
"Fufu… then I'll take that as a challenge and keep seducing you until you fall."
Geh… now I'm starting to have doubt. Sure I did have some resistance against seduction but against that bodies? One would need to be a Buddha or Saint to resist that kind of temptation!
"Stop playing around you two." Rias said and is it just me or did she seems to be annoyed a bit? "For now Saito, I want you to attend class normally and return home quickly after class while I look into this matter. Is that clear?"
"Yes~."
Not that I would complain. I mean more time for my Anime and MMO.
Ok… this should have been part about Issei in Halkeginia but due since it been a while since I read Zero no Tsukaima novel it was a but harder for me to wrote about Issei situation so I decide to delay that for now and focusing on Saito part which was easier. Maybe after Znt have finish all translation including a new one that would be out later I will focusing on Issei adventure on Halkeginia.
And here is the next chapter of Role Switch – Saito part. And in case you wonder why Saito is acting really weird in this story is that I take his original character description and implement it as it said in exaggerated manner to enhanced the comedy even more.
That is all from me and see you guys the very least next week since I will be busy every Monday to Friday every week so I only got a chance to wrote on Saturday and Sunday or probably Friday night.
See you guys later.
