Gerden360: Thanks for asking! At first he was angry he was essentially put under indentured servitude, but the fact that he gets to see Issei alive again and that he is much more powerful put a damper on that anger. This is further helped by that fact that he knows that he would be able to break free once he reaches High-Class. He still is a little peeved sometimes, but he doesn't hold any hatred towards Rias.
Deja… meet vu. Dumb… meet ass.
I woke up in bed next to someone naked because I was reckless idiot, again. With much effort, I pried my eyes open from the grip of exhaustion.
"Oh hi Akeno-senpai." Tommy Wiseau temporarily possessed my body and gave that wonderful line, awkward voice and all.
"Good morning, Hiro-kun.~" She responded in what I assumed was a seductive voice.
She lifted herself out of the bed, bare-ass naked. I tried to get up too but- ow ow ow OW OW OW! FUCK! It felt like someone was stabbing me with an icepick right in the solar plexus. She gently pushed me back down on the bed.
"Slow down a bit, Hiro-kun." I saw slight worry behind the teasing smirk of hers, "When that stray exorcist shot you, holy energy went straight into your body. Rias already called you off school, you need to stay in bed and recover."
Who am I to argue against a day of doing nothing.
"Issei-" I started.
"Is safe." She finished. She started to put on her clothes.
She was halfway through buttoning up her uniform shirt before I asked her another question.
"Isn't holy energy deadly to devils?" She turned around to look at me.
"It is, but your friend arrived just in time to take the bullet out before it could poison you further." Wait, friend?… oh Mil-tan! "He's quite a fascinating character." A bit of an understatement there. She pulled up her socks and started walking out the door.
"Breakfast will be ready in 30 minutes," Was the last thing she said before walking out the door.
"Also could you turn off Issei's alarm befor-" Her eyes sharpened and she completely ignored my request. "-oh..."
…
[Wake up! Wake up! If you don't wake up, I'm gonna k-kiss you…]
I guess I deserved this.
~15 minutes later~
My door opened up again, except this time, it wasn't Akeno, it was Issei rushing in.
"NII-SAN!" He hugged me with a vice grip.
"AHH! FUCK! ISSEI LET GO!" Ow ow ow oh god-FUCK OW!
"Oh, sorry!" He immediately let go of me.
It was at this moment someone else entered the room, I glanced over to find the nun, Asia I reminded myself, walking over to my bed. I gave a small wave and she waved back.
"I… uh… didn't get you're name last time…" She started awkwardly.
"Oh, I'm Iyahiro, Issei's older twin brother-"
"-By only 15 minutes-" He interrupted.
"-by 15 minutes." I finished. "Pro tip: if you ever get confused, I'm the one with the eyebags."
Unlike Issei, I wasn't able to fall and stay asleep easily, especially through that annoying ass alarm of his. In fact, the only nights I actually slept good recently were right after the crow bitch killed me and last night. In the first one, I was dead so it didn't count anyway.
She gave me a smile that lit up the room, ow my eyes. "Well, my name is Asia Argento, nice to meet you."
When she reached out her hand, I shook it gently.
"When M...M-Mil-tan," Issei struggled to get the name out, "pulled the bullet out and stopped your bleeding, Asia here healed you up with her sacred gear."
I glanced down to my torso and saw there was barely even a scar there.
"We were able to get both you and Asia out of there but the stray exorcist Freed was able to escape." Rias' voice came from the door.
bing
My phone sounded out from the nightstand, somebody texted me. I unlocked it to find out that it was from Mil-tan. Once I was done reading, I sent a response.
Mil-tan (sensei?)
[#####' ##.###"N ###° ##' ##.###" S, I managed sneak in a tracker before he escaped. UwU]
[Mahou Shoujo Mil-tan saves the day again, nyo~!]
[Looks like I owe you twice, thanks for saving my ass]
[No problem, nyo~! (^_^)7]
Once again, I wondered how anybody took him seriously, until I remembered how purely competent he was at his job. Damn, I was really fucking lucky getting that contract. I check the coordinates on Google Maps… Shit! It's at the church. The fucker's untouchable now.
I remembered a little tid-bit from the abridged history Rias gave when we were turned into devil. Devil's were forbidden by the treaty to enter a church without heaven's permission, it is a legal gray area if the church is abandoned but entering one without telling will still cause a diplomatic incident at best or spark the Great War 2: Electric Boogaloo at worst. We were in real thin ice over here.
But, there was something that I could do, provided one thing.
"Hey Rias, the body is still in that house, right?"
"...Yes?" She said hesistantly, looking at me with dread in her eyes.
No shit, I was about to pull the biggest pro gamer move of the century.
I did some snooping around on who lived at that block to find out the man was a lawyer. An Anti-cult Lawyer. In fact he was one of the prosecutors against Asahara Shoko in the Japanese Subway Gas Attack in 1995.
Alright, a little history lesson, back during the 90's there was a man by the name of Matsumoto Chizuo. He changed his name to Asahara Shoko (Shoko Asahara for you westerners), and founded a cult by the name of Aum Shinrikyo. He pulled some Jim Jones meets Charles Manson shit until that fateful day in 1995 where he tried to start the end of the world through terrorist attacks. He and a good portion of his cult were caught, arrested and found guilty, but many members still remain, now under the name of Aleph.
Now Mil-tan had some serious fucking connections, I mean to both the US Military and the JSDF, along with a number of government officials. He only had to make a few calls, and the CIA, the JSDF, the US Marine Corps would all be on your ass within a few minutes, especially If he said Aleph was involved.
I had a shit eating grin on my face as I called him up. After a few choice words in code, I hanged up.
"What did you just do?" Rias asked, eyes wide like dinner plates.
"I called the cops." I responded, my smile not dropping one micrometer.
Time to break out the popcorn.
~10 minutes later, in the living room~
The pain was manageable now and I was able to walk down the hallway with some assistance to the living room, where Akeno's breakfast was served. I grabbed the remote, and turned on the television. When my parents entered from their bedroom, the typical morning shows were interrupted by the news.
BREAKING NEWS: Terrorists found in abandoned church! Appeared in bold in the bottom of the screen. On the screen, I could almost make out Freed and a bunch of other goons being frogmarched by some soldiers and officers in SWAT uniforms, looking supremely pissed. They get pushed into an armored truck and get locked up inside.
I smugly turned towards everyone else, looking each of them in the eye,
"See! Sometimes revenge is a dish best served by somebody else."
"How did you do that!" Issei exclaimed.
"Through Mil-tan, all things are possible." That's three favors I owe Mil-tan now. I really got to make it up to him somehow.
"The terrorists are believed to belong in the cult known as Aleph, once known as Aum Shinrikyo, the group that committed the subway gas attack over 16 years ago. The body of one of the prosecutors against Aum Shinrikyo, one Morizawa Hide-" The voice of the reporter droned on as all of this happened.
My parents were broken out of their shock soon enough.
"HYOUDOU IYAHIRO! WHAT DID YOU GET-" Mother started yelling, panicked about what her babies went through.
I give Rias the Look(tm).
sigh… She looked absolutely tired of my shit and relieved at the same time. She raised her hand, and gave mom and dad the magical equivalent of the Neuralizer from Men in Black, for the 15th time this week.
Today is a good day
~3 days later~
I have finally recovered from that Satan-damned bullet in my gut. Woohoo!
Anyway, life returned back to normal, the excuse for my absence in school being a particularly nasty flu. I got caught up in my work and moved on.
Rias' called up on her supernatural contacts to get permission from the church to enter the property, which see received soon enough. We waited until the crime scene was cleaned up and entered the property. We were careful, because the place was set to be demolished in a few days and it was falling apart from the seams.
Inside were random splatters of blood around, a few dropped crucifixes, which we kept a good distance from as they were painful to be near. In the basement, we found a few feathers and the remnants of a cross shaped… something. We concluded that the fallen, including that bitch Yuuma, escaped from Kuoh to somewhere else.
As long as they don't come back, Good!
We left the property, but not without me collecting the crucifixes, they might be useful in the future.
Now that that ordeal was now over with, everyone went on home. I finished my homework and played Mario Party with the family.
~That night~
I wake up to a red flash. Rias' naked form jumps right on top of me.
"Issei, please take me!"
…
"What the fuck Rias, it's like 3 am."
AN: Another day another chapter. I'm shitting these out at ludicrous speed and I hope I can keep my inspiration writing this. Anyway, See you next chapter.
