As time goes by, I, Koneko Toujo, right now I'm the happiest girl in the world.
The reason why I being so happy right now, is because the person next to me are in shy mode. I called it the shy mode, because he would never say his honest feeling whenever I start to approaching him and he would immediately cover up his mouth a little pretend he wouldn't care what I was doing or why.
We are now in the haunted village, the reason I also called this village as haunted is because the person next to me aren't actually person, in fact it was a ghost.
At first I was scared by her but for now we are good friends, I think?
"So, What we are doing now?"
I asked Issei who was watching the empty village, ever since we've arrive in this village, we hasn't see any of villager in this place.
Quite weird but ...
I can't get rid this uncomfortable feeling I have for past few hour. I don't know why, but I have feeling that we've been watching by something from afar.
Just when I thought there was nothing wrong, Issei suddenly stopped his gaze at a place in the distance.
("Hm ~ Disrespectful guest, at least say hello to us ~") Said the transparent woman named Mei while following Issei's gaze.
I who don't know anything can only follow their gaze, my instinct tells me that I have to draw my sword right now.

a long time ago, there was a story. A story that tells about the journey of a chosen hero, chosen by the gods, the chosen hero has a task. The task where they must save the world from destruction from eternal darkness that will engulf the world forever.
Ignoring feelings, ignoring personal interests, neglecting everything they love, like and much more, all these things, as long they still as the chosen one they have to bear all of those things.
For some people it might too hard, but many did it.
One to billion of the story about these heroes began to disappear as time pass on.
Million of their story untold and many of them were ended tragically.
Start with their romance life, to their way of life, all of them are being washed away.
Even though they tried their best to keep their story to being remembered by many generation, everything start to become useless once next generation start to appear everything that they told will always be forgotten.
It will happen again in this story
And will always be repeated
Just like a river
The river is full of branches until it finally meets one end, namely the river mouth that is connected to the sea where everything becomes one and remains the same.
Koneko Toujo, the 742th chosen hero, will the story be different or will it end with the same thing as the others, no one knows about that.
Together with her knight, Koneko has a long journey of story which she will write into a book that never existed.
In a lonely village without humans, two humans and a transparent figure are currently standing staring at a human figure standing in the distance. The human figure was walking towards them with a sword in hand, he didn't seem like he was going to speak nicely to them, Issei quickly drew his sword and returned a sharp gaze towards the human figure
"Who and what do you want? " Issei asked in a tone full of intimidation with the sword he prepared in his hand, Koneko who had also drawn her sword and immediately took a full stance on the human.
Even though Koneko had never studied swordsmanship, at least she had a little knowledge on how to defend herself, and that was thanks to Issei who educated her very well.
Koneko Toujo, that's my name. Right now we were faced with a strange person who seemed like they were going to attack us.
"Answer me! Who and what do you want!" Issei snapped once again at the human, humans in strange clothes like royal soldiers started walking slowly towards us.
"... Koneko, be careful, he seems to be planning something"
"Yes I know"
It seems that Issei doesn't realize that he calls me by my first name without the usual honorifics, even though I'm quite happy but this is not the time for me to be distracted by that.
"So, the prophecy was right, huh. Who would have thought that the chosen one, was the abandoned princess"
The man then stopped his footsteps when he got close enough to us, before long the man started pointing his sword at Issei who was still on alert.
"Now, should I kill you first and then you afterwards? Or should I kill you both at the same time?"
"Step over my corpse first, you punk "
Maybe this is the first time I heard Issei use harsh words to someone, when I thought the man was not doing anything, Issei suddenly ran very fast towards him. Issei's speed was so fast that even my eyes couldn't see him other than the flash of light where he was standing earlier
(Clink) The two swords met when Issei was in front of that man. The two of them seemed to be looking at each other with a sharp gaze, Issei added his strength to the sword causing energy to start flowing through both his body and the sword
"Blue Flame" Said Issei with a firm tone, the energy spontaneously surged sharply to form a kind of blue flames enveloping his sword.
"Interesting"
Issei started to move away a little when he felt something, and the moment he walked away, the man started to be coated with dark purple energy with a strong intimidating aura. I, who watched from a distance, could only be shivered in fear to see that man's face looked creepy, but when I saw Issei's face, my fear grew even more.
Issei stood there staring at him with a blank face, "So this is what I have to do, huh?" Said Issei when he saw the man's face which had an aura quite familiar to him
["Why? Aren't you going to attack me?"]Said the man with a very deep intonation full of pressure. Issei just stood still with the sword still in his hand, he started to close his eyes and sighed for a moment.
When he saw how arrogant that human was with that artificial energy, Issei couldn't stop the cringe feeling that entered his mind.
"Shut up "
Issei replied while darting back to the human with the sword he slashed frontally, the man with that energy stopped Issei's attack with his sword but he did not know that Issei about to attack him with a powerful kick to his stomach, the sudden attack succeeded in making the man surprised but did not wait for him to respond, Issei continued his next attack by hitting his face.
["How dare you!"] The man started to get angry when his face was hit very hard by Issei, ["Oaaahhhhhhhh!"]
The man started to rampage, with energy covering his entire body he attacked Issei with various slashes that were very fast, Issei managed to fend off several attacks, but several attacks managed to scratch it which made Issei have to take a step away from the man.
["You won't get away!"] The man did not give a gap to Issei and returned to showering him with repeated attacks, Issei had a little trouble avoiding the attacks. Relying on instinct, Issei immediately lowered his head when the man was about to launch a frontal attack and kicked him in the leg which immediately knocked him down
The sound of iron clinking echoed again when Issei was about to slash the man's neck, but was blocked by his bare hands
"Tcih"
Issei cursed at the man when he saw the man managed to stop him, but not long after, the man began to spike his energy which spontaneously made Issei thrown away.
["Ahahaha, is that your only ability? You mixed race!"]
Hearing those words made me wonder a little what they meant, but Issei immediately stood up and stared murderously at the man.
"Don't you dare say that" Issei threatened, he was so angry with him that even his face which usually looks soft with affection immediately disappeared instantly. Issei's face looked even more creepy and I could see his gaze that he had no more words of mercy on the man.
"Koneko, I hope you will forgive me later " Issei said with his gaze still the same, when Issei was silent for a moment I could feel a tense cold enveloping my surroundings.
{You will regret what you said} Said Issei with an intonation as creepy as that man
["Ahahaha ... Now let's talk to our strengths, mixed humans"]
The man and Issei both continued attacks at the same time very quickly, clashing blades echoed out, Issei continued the attack with a mixture of punches and slashes. Several strikes managed to leave the man hit with a crushing blow, but the man responded with a powerful kick to Issei which sent Issei crashing into a tree.
"Issei!"
When I tried to run towards him but Issei immediately stood up and returned to holding his sword.
["Weak, you are so weak. Is this what you got from protecting that stupid princess all this time? I am disappointed to you, Issei J. Hyoudo, or should I say Silver F ..."]
"Don't you fucking dare to say it"
Issei immediately got angry and went straight at the man with killing intent, Issei's all frontal attack that directed at the man, all of them were was easily deflected by him.
When I saw how the battle, the exchange of blows and the exchange of slashes continued, I, who could only stare silently in fear, could only hope that Issei could win. 'I'm pathetic' I tried to hold back my tears when I saw how I couldn't help at all
When I saw Issei's face, which was slightly different, I felt that Issei was thinking about something. I never thought that Issei could be that angry and terrible at the same time, when that man said something about him
When the fight had no sign of stopping, I stood back up holding my sword with my hands still shaking violently. "I have to be brave!"
I said when I started to dare myself to help Issei, but my fear was too great, even I was on the verge of tears when I saw how Issei had to struggle to counter the man's attack.
As I gripped my sword firmly wishing I could gain courage from this sword, something tapped my shoulder.
"You're brave enough, so don't push yourself"
I was speechless when I saw someone behind me
"Leave it to me, lady"
The man walked towards the two of them who were still exchanging attacks until something deafening began to sound loud.
["aargh!"]
{Urgh!}
Issei and the man both covered their ears after the sound was very painful, I could indeed hear the echo but it was strange that I didn't feel anything.
["H...How dare you! Humans!"]
"C... careful!"
I shouted at the human who was standing quietly as the man quickly jumped at him but ...
"Disgusting"
I widened silently when I saw that, my eyes froze when I saw that man swinging his sword and spontaneously something disgusting appeared before my eyes.
The man covered in purple energy was splitting into pieces before my eyes, even his blood that was starting to flow I could no longer see it with my eyes.
"W ... what ..." I held myself when I wanted to vomit my guts when I saw the man's body which was very easily split by the man.
The man didn't answer and walked back towards Issei who was standing there with a sharp gaze towards him
"You, tell me. Are you on the side of mankind or not?" Said the man as he pointed his sword at Issei's face
"I'm not on any side, I'm still on the side of Mrs. Koneko Toujo as the chosen hero according to the prophecy"
The man then turned to me, "So you are the chosen hero"
The man with blonde hair wearing strange clothes seemed to come from the church pastor but did not look like a priest starting to heath his sword in front of me.
"Chose hero, Sorry for my rudeness. My Name is Naruto, I'm Cleric class and one of seven saints in the kingdom. May my sword and my faith will always be with you and your journey. Right now, my master wanted to see whose take the sword out from the stone of an oath. Please follow me"
"And whose say you can take her out?"
Issei immediately answered the Cleric sharply, but the man responded by pointing the cross-shaped sword towards Issei with a sharp gaze.
"For the sake of a goddess full of grace, don't you dare talk to me. A despicable creature like you doesn't deserve to live in this world"
"W ... wait, don't fight!" I tried to stop them, but I didn't expect my sword to glow bright white
"Th ... this" The man named Naruto started to stutter when the light formed a human figure
["It's so boring seeing this"]
"Goddess Mei! By Goddess, I am very honored by your presence"
"Huh?" I saw Mei who appeared from my sword in the clothes of a pure white Cleric and looked very beautiful.
"Eeeeh ?!" I almost screamed when I saw Mei being called as a Goddess in front of me by Naruto and Mei who looked at me back she just replied with smile so pure that to me it looked very cute.
-0-
Long story short, I, Koneko Toujo just figure something
That Mei is indeed a goddesses that came from heaven, so does it mean she lied to me about her past life?
In certain church, far south from the village we've arrived at the big church.
"Welcome, I am happy to welcome you here"
There we were greeted by a priestess who looked like she was 19 years old in white Cleric clothes, "Miss Goddess Mei, I am very honored that you can appear in our church"
"My name is Rias Senate, I am just an ordinary priestess here"
"Cut that crap out from you, Rias" I, who was surprised to hear that, I immediately turned to the person who said in such a harsh tone, when I saw who the culprit was I was just silent.
It was Issei, he said that with poker face while maintaining his calm as usual.
"Also, drop that act Naruto. I don't need your simple act just for the sake of your little dignity in front of My Lady"
Naruto and Rias immediately sighed when Issei insulted the two of them who suddenly got a small laugh reaction from Angelia.
"Hah ... Issei, just when can you learn to respect your juniors"
"Why did we have to meet you when we thought we could get away from you for a few years " Rias continued when both of them sighed in resignation to see how Issei still acted like he didnt care about that
'Wait, did they know each other before?'
I never knew Issei had such connection with someone from one of the seven saints in the kingdom.
["Fufufufu, this will be interesting"]
Said Angelia while looking at the three whose still in their topic of unexpected reunion.

Ok, another Q&A like for the second time
AVL 04, No I didn't really meant that I don't like him and prefer Issei, my fav of all time is Kamijou Touma. the reason why most of my story exclude him, is because I just don't like him in the story that requires heavy stuff to bear, especially romance stuff. We all know how dumbass Naruto was and it takes around 400 episodes and plus one final movie (that's not actually final) just to get things to real after the episode 160ish when he realize someone love him. Can you believe that! He just being confessed by a girl in a brink of death and after that he just pretend or maybe didn't even want to talk about it? So yeah, I hate him as my main character but it doesn't mean I don't want to put him at all, my plan originally to put him as my side support character which is perfect role for him. (Also, if I make him more smarter. Then why don't I just use character that has that personality right from the start, like Issei. Although we all know how idiot he is, but he can be reliable sometimes)
Midnightambush, We all like DxD because "Harem fanservice, trashy show, and still not called as fking hentai at this moment, illegal lolicon and many other stuff" that NO BODY ASKED FOR. Change my mind XD
Midnightambush, If you're reading my story "Monster of mankind" in IS universe, then you already know how fucked up I was in that story where I started to began questioning my sanity at that point. But, I will not tolerate any sexual humiliation in this story of mine, (perhaps I would?) Although my very first plan was to make this story sad but it doesn't mean I like sad ending. I'm just twisted person on the internet, so what's you'd expect?
