Disclaimer: First Chapter
I'm going to be super busy for the next few days, so a quick update.
Story Start!
"So... why are we moving the camp?"
"Because Rias knows where it is, and I don't like that." Naruto stated with a deadpan tone. Rias and her entire peerage knew where he lived, and while Issei was going to learn the new location of his tent, he wasn't cool with anyone else knowing it. Packing everything up and moving locations to a better, more secure spot was the only choice of action that made sense.
Asia... took to being a Devil rather well.
After she regained her strength from dying and staying dead for almost a full day, she had taken the fact that she was no longer human surprisingly well.
"Aren't they family now though?" Asia asked with a tilted head. Rias had explained her peerage was a family to her, so she had wanted to get along with them and make friends. She was just confused why Naruto was refusing to think of the rest of the peerage as that. "... Thank you again, by the way..." Asia spoke to him.
He flinched.
'... I abandoned you when you needed me, and stole your faith from you... I promise you though, I'll get you back everything you lost and more.' Naruto knew those were words she would not accept from him. She would tell him that he had done more than enough, and that she was just happy being with him. "I summon thee Berserker." Naruto stated as his Sacred Gear appeared in his hand.
Berserker appeared before him.
Instead of a wedding dress, she was wearing a white button up shirt with a black vest, a black skirt, black leggings, and black boots with her hair rolled up into a bun. She looked very formal, and Naruto wanted it that way. It was a sub-ability of his Sacred Gear that each of his servants had several outfits that he could equip them with. This outfit, while formal, could also be slightly intimidating when given to a girl of Berserker's height and cold air.
His Sacred Gear suggested using Saber-class and Beserker-class servants as bodyguards, and that Berserkers were usually the ones who followed orders best out of all of the servant classes.
"Ah!" Berserker greeted him for the second time in person, and she waved at him. Naruto was limited to summoning one servant willingly at a time, unlike when the connection between him and his servants was very weak. "Grrrrr." Berserker growled at Asia.
*Smack*
"No, you're job is to protect Asia whenever I'm not around her. Help Asia finish packing everything, while I set out to find a new location to call home." Naruto had gently smacked Berserker on the shoulder. "Okay Fran-"
"Ber-ser-kar."
"Okay Berserker." Naruto could call her by what she prefered to be called. He wanted to try and build a bond with his servants, and he would eventually try and figure out what Berserkers dream or goal was, so that he could attempt to fulfill it for her. Naruto looked up at her, before he twitched when he realized she stood at a height taller than his own. "... Berserker, listen to everything Asia tells you. Make sure she stays out of trouble, and if any supernatural creatures try to touch her... do not hold back." Naruto gave his orders to Berserker.
Berserker turned her head towards Asia for a second, as if judging her, beforoe she huffed and picked up a flower off of the ground. She stared at the flower, before she offered it to Naruto with a neutral face. When Naruto took the flower, she smiled a wide and cheerful smile as he placed the flower in his belt.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Rias... Buchou said that she would let us stay together in an apartment. She is even willing to pay for it." Asia didn't care where she stayed, as long as she got to stay with Naruto. Still, the thought of an actual place with a bed was a more pleasant thought than camping.
Naruto didn't even consider it.
"A situation where I know where to find her, but she doesn't know where I live, is a far better situation. Not to mention, if she gets us an apartment she can set up a magic circle or something and have free access to it whenever she wants... do you really want her to interrupt us whenever she wants?" Naruto asked Asia with a sigh. If she pushed, he would do the apartment thing with her.
Asia thought about it.
'She's really beautiful... and if she is always around, she might...' Asia looked at Naruto, but despite herself she couldn't help but look down at her own body and compare it to Rias. She had goals for herself now that she was a devil, and no longer able to truly follow the path of god. She had things that were precious to her, her new friendships, but there was a relationship that she did think she could push to a different level.
Asia's face turned bright red.
"O' Lord, please punish this jealous-AH!?" Asia grabbed her head in agony when she tried to pray. She had been feeling jealous towards the possible relationship that Rias and Naruto could form if Rias had unlimited access to where they lived.
Naruto didn't say anything, he just felt guilty that she experienced that pain when she tried to pray to God.
"Hmph!" Berserker just huffed with a smile on her face.
-Later-
"Phew, that was some hard work!" Asia tried to cheer herself up when she finished packing everything up. There wasn't much to pack, but all of her personal belongings actually took up far more space than anything that Naruto owned. His personal belongings could easily fit in less than 1/4th of the size of her belongings that had been shipped to her from overseas.
Then again, her stuff was mostly clothes and her things relating to when she was a human Christian.
Berserker just stared at her, doing her job in keeping an eye on her. Those mismatched eyes would sometimes peek out from behind her hair when the wind blew, but otherwise she didn't try to make any attempt to help Asia.
"So... you're Berserker, do you want something to drink?" Asia offered a bottled water to Berserker to try and show she meant no harm. When she got close enough that Berserker actually took notice of her intentions, she bared her teeth and grit them at Asia.
"Grrrrrrr."
Like a mad dog, her responses to a person she didn't like her very simple and easy to understand. Asia yelped and took a step back in shock.
"Uh... is there a reason you don't like me?" Asia asked, since it was exceedingly clear that Berserker had some resentment for her. Berkerser plucked two yellow and a white flower from the ground and put them together. She pointed at Asia, and pointed to one of the yellow flowers, before she put the yellow flowers together. She pointed at herself and pointed at the white flower, before she set it down next to the yellow flowers.
She moved the yellow flowers away from the white flower, and left the white flower all by itself. She crushed the yellow point she pointed to first, and tossed it to the side, before she put the yellow and white flower together that were unharmed.
"Hmph!"
"I still don't understand, but... if you really don't want to protect me, you don't have to." Asia assured her with a smile.
Berserker violently shook her head.
"Ah!"
She had to follow orders to increase her bond, and that meant doing things she didn't want to do. Not to mention she wanted to follow his orders more than she wanted to hurt Asia for being closer to Naruto. It was very simple, Naruto was more important than what she wanted. She grunted and looked away from Asia though, and refused to look her in the eye. When Asia looked away, she would go back to staring at Asia to watch over her.
"Berserker, take Asia to school and protect her. I'm going to take the camping stuff and everything over to the new location... don't hurt any humans." Naruto stated as he made himself known. Berserker nodded her head shortly.
"Oh, I can help!"
"It's fine Asia, today is your first day of school... you know, I thought we were the same age." Naruto tried to make a joke, but it fell on flat ears. Asia didn't understand the joke, so he ended up just scratching the back of his head. "... You're birthday is May 11th, so you're 17 and a second year student... my birthday is October 10th, so I'm a first year student and 15 years old." Naruto explained the joke.
Asia blinked for a moment.
"You're younger than me!? We're not in the same year!?" Asia realized that she wouldn't be going to class with Naruto with shocked, wide eyes. She knew she was going to be a second year, but she had no clue that Naruto was a first year. "... Wait, HOW are you 15!?" Asia asked with even more shock when she saw how developed his body and muscles were.
While Naruto was a little on the shorter side for a guy (he was 15, his growth spurt hadn't kicked in yet), she had thought he was 17 like she was. She had no clue that such a well developed and muscular body belonged to a 15 year old boy. The aura he gave off was so powerful that he really seemed older than he was.
"I mean, I'm the same as Koneko?" Naruto answered with a raised eyebrow.
Both he and Koneko were 15, and if you only paid attention to certain traits (his shoulders and her hips) you would assume that they were 17 years old, but that they were just short for their age. Koneko looked more youthful than he did, but that was just because she was short AND petite, but since Koneko was 15 years old, her body was almost done growing. Considering he was a man, he wouldn't be finished growing until his early 20s. The difference in body development between men and women was a pretty big gap.
"So... you two must really get along then... I'll have to try harder." Asia whispered to herself with a flaming red face.
She had rough competition to attracting his attention.
Extremely attractive girls like Rias, Akeno, and Koneko were all around Naruto so she needed to do something to get her to notice her more than the other girls. Berserker took her from her thoughts by grabbing her arm and pulling her away from Naruto.
Naruto scratched the back of his head in confusion.
What was that about?
