Chapter 5: My new life
Betaed by Slothful
{Issei's P.O.V.}
I wouldn't be lying to say that I'd rather be anywhere but here at this moment, and it wasn't because of this feeling of wrongness flowing in me that started since coming near the church. It was because of who is in that church that makes me want to be nowhere near it. Yu-... Raynare is in here, the ex-girlfriend that killed me after our date. Just thinking about it makes me want to rub where she stabbed me as a faint stinging pain comes from my stomach. But I shouldn't be thinking about that now, President said that a student from our school was here and she believed that the fallen angels here were targeting him as they did with me.
So we rush here, getting ready to fight who knows how many fallen angels and there are several of them. Raynare, the two that attacked me after turning into a devil, and the young blonde girl with the older man with blonde hair, black bangs, and a goatee. There were two more people but neither of them are fallen, one was the guy who is wearing a black hoodie and sweatpants that we are here to save, Ren was his name if I was right, but it was the other person that got my attention. Long blonde hair with bright green eyes, the girl looks around my age and is wearing a pink sleep shirt and pants but the strangest thing about her isn't how she is my type but how she makes me feel… weird.
I would have kept staring if Koneko didn't lightly kick my shin, giving me a small glare before turning back, keeping an eye on the man with the goatee. I have to hold back a yelp of pain, a light kick from her might as well be a swing of a sledgehammer. But I also notice something strange about her or rather everyone. Kiba's sword was shaking, as were Koneko's arms, I turn and see both President and Akeno's faces paling to an unhealthy shade of white. They were acting completely different from how they fought Viser.
"Lord Azazel! W-why are you here?!" the blue hair fallen asks, her breasts jiggling from her movements. I know that she tried to kill me a couple of nights ago but I can't help but think how fine her tits are. Not as good as the President's or Akeno's but maybe better than Raynare's though there is a charm to smaller ones too. I look at the other blonde, who is close to Koneko's height, and I would be lying that adding larger tits on her wouldn't ruin her cuteness, just like Koneko. Big breasts on a loli looks weird.
Big breasts on a tiny body ruin both the breasts and the compact size!
"It is obvious Kalawarna! Lord Azazel is here to show these disgusting devils who tru-"
"Shut up Raynare. I'm already fixing your mess and I rather not clear another." This Azazel guy says, cutting Raynare off as her expression goes from a look of superiority to shock and hurt. "Really? Starting shit in the territory of the younger siblings of two Satans? Are you trying to restart the Great War? Do I have to explain how that would end our race?! What's next?! Killing Ajuka's dog?!"
As the older guy keeps ranting at Raynare, I slowly turn to ask Kiba the question that has been bugging me for a while. "Who is this guy?" I'm still new to the whole supernatural thing but with a title like 'lord' he has to be someone big.
"He is the leader of the fallen angels!" Kiba harshly whispers. "Not a leader. Not one of the main leaders. He is the leader!"
Ooh… Guess that would explain why everyone is acting so weird.
Azazel ends his rant, reducing Raynare to tears at this point, and sighs as he turns toward us. "I will apologize for the actions of my subordinates and I will repay you and the Sitri heiress for these transactions." Azazel says. "Though I will say, this is something extraordinary about this one." Azazel comments, looking down at the down guy as he pales. "I can honestly say I have never seen anything like this before."
"A-are you saying that he has some kind of gear or bloodline?!" President yells in a tone of shock and what sounds like hope.
"No…" Azazel mumbles as he squats to Ren's eye level. "I know my stuff and I can tell if he has a gear or not, same with a special bloodline power."
"B-but how can you be so sure? Maybe you could be wrong?" President argues.
Azazel only laughs at President's question. "You know how I am right? I was around before your parents were in their diapers. I was around to see the short stack, Runeas Gremory struts her stuff." Azazel sighs to himself as he remembers something. "If we were not at war, I would so try to see how far I would have gotten with her… but that's beside the point. Let's just say I've been around for far longer than anyone in this room so I know my stuff."
I know for being the leader of one of three factions of the bible he seems pretty chill, like the cool uncle kind of chill.
"While I would like to stick around to figure more about… whatever this is, I know that we're overstaying our welcome. Mittelt, tell any and all exorcists to pack everything up as we are all returning to Grigori immediately, I want us moving as soon as possible. Raynare, you will be explaining everything that happened up to this point, who give you these orders, and what else they order you lot to do." Azazel's order seem to calm down the President a bit, and I would be lying if I wasn't the same. I was only a devil for less than a week and the idea of going to fight the leader of a faction sounds like I'm going to fight the final boss when I only just finish the tutorial. Something that would be suicide at best.
Azazel picks the guy up, telling him to go home with President saying she will take him back to his apartment. Though the Ren guy looks like he is about to run for the hills when she said it but didn't fight it. Maybe it was the shock of the whole thing? Can understand that, I would be shellshock too if I was him though his way of learning about the supernatural is way better than how it was for me. As we head towards the apartment, I decide to have some small talk with the guy.
Ren looks average and we average guys have to stick together! And I need a guy friend to talk about this stuff with! Kiba doesn't count, fuck that pretty boy for being popular with all the girls in school.
"So… are you ok? President said that you were acting strangely before we came so I just wonder." I ask, Ren snapping out of his self-thought.
"Huh? Oh, yeah. I'm fine but what do you mean by acting strangely?" Ren asks.
"You jump from your balcony and grab the railing of the apartment from a lower before running towards the church." President expects as Ren's eyes widen and look at his hands.
"B-but that's impossible! My hands are not even cut!"
"Probably because of that power that Azazel guy was talking about. I would have dealt with those fallen but Azazel seems to have something in mind for them and I rather not make the situation more volatile than it already was." President says but Ren seems to ignore her looking at his hands.
"Dear god…" Ren whispers, giving us devils a headache in the process. That is one annoying part about being a devil since several people use that word in normal conversations. I never realize it until I turned and get a headache every twenty minutes in class.
"But don't worry, I bet that you wouldn't see them again." President said but for some reason, Ren looks like he is panicking a bit. He seem to try hiding it but it was visible maybe this is how he handles stress, acts like nothing happen until he is safe and lets everything loose. After that it seems like talking is now the last thing on Ren's mind as we walk to his apartment, watching him enter the building after he gives us a quick 'thank you' for coming to rescue him. Then we start making our way back home.
"I'm surprised that you didn't ask Ren to join our peerage after hearing Azazel finding something that he has never seen before Rias." Akeno said. The President is planning on recruiting Ren?
"Oh, I was but we don't know what exactly his power is. Sure Azazel said it is something he has never seen before but it doesn't mean that it is capable of combat." President explains. "Plus throwing the offer on top of what has happened to him might cause him to have a breakdown so I should wait a bit before making the offer." President gives a small smile. "While I wish to punish that fallen that hurt my cute pawn, I can't complain too much. I was expecting the worst but things turn out alright!"
{Ren's P.O.V}
I messed up… big time. My bleeding heart has finally fuck me over. The only way out of this now is to have Rias or Sona erase my memories and there is no way in hell I'm letting them do anything with my brain. There was also the fact that Asia isn't part of Rias's peerage and probably would never be a part. I might just sign the paperwork that will result in her becoming Diodora's mind-broken cocksleeve. And that isn't even talking about what I just learned about my fast travel feature.
That the system literally took control over my body. And I don't remember it. Just the fact the system holds that kind of power over me is honestly terrifying. I'm putting that feature under lock and key and hope I never need to use that power again because one question fills my mind as much as it fills me with dread.
What if the next time I use it, would I ever regain control of my body again?
Too much has happened tonight for my liking. I just want to sleep. Sleep and forget about everything.
I walk through my apartment, grabbing a bottle of soda to hopefully calm my nerves.
"You know that will just keep you up, right?" A voice says, making me do a spit take as I turn to the source of the voice. It was Azazel and he was sitting at the table.
"WHAT THE FUCK YOU DOING HERE?! NO! HOW DID YOU FIND OUT WHERE I LI-" I yell, only to cut myself off as I pull out the business card Azazel give me when he picked me up at the church. I did wonder why he slip me this. "You put some kind of tracking spell on this didn't you." I state, not question, to which Azazel only responds with a smile.
"Good to see you have some sense." Azazel chuckles as he takes a drink from a cup, probably taking something from the fridge. "Helps you stay among the living if you are not strong enough."
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be watching over the fallen at the church? To make sure they don't turn tail and run?" I ask, taking my own seat at the table as I can tell he is going to be here for a while.
Azazel shrugs at my question. "If they run, they will be considered turncoats and can't return. At least not without going into cells, at best. Besides, I want to spend time with you! Aren't you happy?"
"That still doesn't answer my first question."
"Ah…" Azazel made a sound of sadness, which was obviously exaggerated but that is part of Azazel's character. The man is a massive troll. He even convinces Issei that a woman's nipple is like a doorbell, poke it and the woman would make a noise. Which was stupid. I can understand licking, biting, sucking, rolling, pinching, or pulling but not poking, if you poke a girl's nipple they are either going to go 'ow' or 'what the fuck'.
During my inner monologue, Azazel gets out of fack sadness. "You can thank magic for how I got here so fast. Packing and transportation are quite easy when you can just teleport everything and as to why I'm here. I want to recruit you."
"Recruit me?" I honestly thought he would just ask to study the system and not full-on recruitment. "I guess I don't have a choice…" I mumble to myself.
"Of course, you have a choice. I would rather you join us as that would make studying your power way easier but there are other options." Azazel points out, making me laugh.
"Like what? Letting myself get turned into a devil's slave with their Evil Pieces? Sure thing! What could go wrong?" I ask, my voice full of sarcasm. "No thank you, those things are a complete scam. Even if I somehow reach high class, which I probably never will, I will still be part of their peerage. I like my freedom too much."
"How did you know that?" the question throw me off. I look at Azazel, whose playful tone changes to serious. "How did you know about the Evil Pieces? You shouldn't have known that. You just learned about the supernatural."
Fuck me and my big mouth.
"R-Rias offer me a spot in her peerage!" I try covering my mistake but Azazel's expression tells me that he doesn't buy it.
"That girl is too soft to take advantage of your current mental state, she is might do some devilish things but she is quite naive for her kind but I guess that is to be expected with someone her age. And I was already suspicious about what you know with how you look at me at the church, you didn't look at me like you got caught by someone. You give me a look I'm all too used to seeing during the Great War, a look that devils and angels give me when they saw me. You knew exactly who I was the second you laid eyes on me. Remember kid, I been alive since before the dawn of men. You're not going to pull a fast one on me any time soon." Azazel said. "And since you know about me, I bet you know how the Gremory family treats their peerage. So you could say no to me and join her and get a nice master that treats you like family. You have better options than most people in your situation."
"Just because she will treat me like family doesn't change the fact I would be her slave." I said. "Let's say, for example, a man named Jon buys another man name Jack from the slave house. Jon gives Jack warm food, and a soft bed, and treats the man like a brother. Jon never made Jack work, beats him, or force the man to do anything he doesn't want so the question is, are they equal?"
My question made Azazel give me a look saying to get to the point.
"The answer is no. Jon will always hold power over Jack. Jon can order Jack to strip naked and spread his ass cheeks so Jon can fuck him and Jack can't do a damn thing without getting punished, either by Jon or by the law. That power will make sure the two will never become equals, no matter how much they act like a family. In the end, the Gremory family is just playing house to probably avoid their servants from becoming strays." I said, but a feeling grows as I said those words. A feeling of hypocrisy.
Because you are doing the same thing. Making girls fall for you because of your special power.
I push the thought out of my head. Maybe that is true but I was forced with and by this power so I'm not some hypocrite. I'm not actively going for a speedrun into some girl's pants! I wanted nothing to do with the plot in the first place!
"My power gives me some information, I know several things because of it, some things might even be future events." I told Azazel and I wasn't planning to say any more than the bare minimum as I might end up revealing what it really does. I don't trust devils but that doesn't mean I'm going to trust a fallen angel, someone who falls out of heaven because they can't control their own desires. But I feel that by telling Azazel that I know possible future events, I would place myself into the 'keep alive at all costs' category. Because while this world might be all about dragon mecha armors and the power of love, friendship, and boobs, in every war information is worth its weight in gold.
"Can you prove that statement?" Azazel asks, actually looking intrigued.
"Not physically but I can tell you that Kokabiel is the person behind this. He plans to use the fragments of Excalibur that he and his rogue group stole to kill both heiresses here to restart the Great War. I also believe that he was the one that give Raynare the kill order in the hopes that Issei's Sacred Gear is a powerful one so he can fight him once Rias resurrect him." I said.
"And what gear is that?"
"The Boosted Gear." I answer, making Azazel groan as he mutters 'Damn it Raynare'. Not that I can blame him, to him it's like losing out on a super rare copy of a game you need to finish your collection and Raynare just give it to Rias for free. Though I think Azazel is still going to look into everything I just said, he wants solid proof of my claim.
"But there is still one question I have, you seem to know about the supernatural so does that mean you know that Mittelt wasn't human when you first met her? Or if going into the church is dangerous?" Azazel asks. The question doesn't seem that bad, pretty harmless if anything.
"My power did tell about Mittelt's race and it told me that if I didn't go into the church tonight then someone might die but who it was. I know Asia lives there as I took her there and my power told me so does Mittelt so I did as it said as I would rather not have the weight of someone's death on my conscience." I explain, taking a sip from my drink. Maybe by telling him this, Azazel will protect Mittelt and more importantly Asia since she is being stalked by a devil with a kink of raping nuns. I need to do some damage control since I doubt Asia is going to join Rias's group now and I need anything to build a wall between her and Diodora. Because screw that guy.
…
Why does Azazel look like he struck a gold mine?
"Ah~ young love. Takes me back to when I was an angel~" Azazel said. "To think such sweet, passionate, love can bloom from two people of different races. Love that was so powerful that a human is willing to risk his life for the ones he loves. Even though he had no means to defend himself! Look out Sirzech and Grayfia! A new love story is going to replace yours!" Azazel yells, making me cringe at every sentence he just said. And he knows it as his smile grows every flinches and groan. Never give a troll something to tease you about.
Thankfully the teasing stop after Azazel is done getting his chuckles. "Been a while since I got a good laugh like that." Azazel says, finishing his drink. "But enough beating around the bush, so what is your answer? Are you joining my faction or not?"
I'm not sure why Azazel is asking as I made my opinion clear, I'm not joining the devils, I can't join the church (not that I want to), and staying rogue isn't going to be possible as I have nothing to stop someone from forcefully recruiting me or just simply kill me. Plus Azazel is smarter than I am and if anyone can figure out what the true power of my system is, it would be him.
"Yeah, I'm in." I down my soda, which had gone flat by this point.
"Great! Welcome to Grigori, home of the fallen and other races. Most of our members don't live long but at least we got dental!" Azazel darkly jokes. At least that is something.
"So what now? Do I move out of Kouh since this is Rias's property or something?" I ask.
"Nah, at least not if what I have planned goes through. I'm certain that they will hear me out on this…" Azazel mumbles to himself as he gets up. "But that will be something that I will deal with, you go to bed. I rather not have new recruit collapse on me. At least without a few missions under their belt first." And Azazel gets up from his seat and I watch him exit my apartment.
I toss the empty can into the trash before making my way to bed, jumping on it as soon I saw it, not even removing my clothes as I sink into the soft fabric of my sheets as started to doze off. A part of me wants to acknowledge what I have done, how by preventing Asia from joining Rias's peerage I probably fucked a lot of future events, that I'm now fully part of the supernatural and am a member of the fallen faction, but my desire for sleep is far stronger than my panic. I just want to sleep and deal with it tomorrow.
Tomorrow can't get any worse…
{Azazel's P.O.V.}
"Are you sure that he isn't anywhere? Not in his room or training area?"
Another good thing about magic is that you can talk to someone far faster and farther than a cellphone. It even gives me a portal to see their face. Like how I'm talking to my second command, Shemhazai, as he gives me a dry look.
"No Azazel, Kokabiel isn't anywhere in Grigori. We have checked when you send us that message." Shemhazai says. "Though why are suddenly want to know where he is?"
"I been told some things and I want to check their authenticity." I don't want to cause a riot about one of our founders deciding that he wants to start the Great War again. A part of me should have seen this coming with how much Kokabiel wanted to show that the Fallen Angels were the ultimate race. I was hoping after so long since the war ended that he would mellow out but it would seem that I was wrong. "Is there anything else to report?"
"Nothing much, though one member of Raynare's hasn't returned yet."
"And who would that be?"
"One Freed Sellzen based on the report submitted."
I groaned when I heard that name. I mainly took him in because him being one of the byproducts of the Sigurd Institution would make him stronger than most of our normal recruits. I even ignore his… less favorable traits because of it. Grigori is laughable in how weak it is when compared to either the devils or the angels. Sirzechs and Ajuka can wipe us out by themselves if they wanted to and I doubt we would kill either of them, plus their evil pieces make raising their numbers far easier than us. But if Kokabiel is leaving us to start the Great War, I can see Freed the murdering, raping, psychopath that loves torturing devils and humans joining him.
We are really desperate for recruits…
"I want you to look into our database to see if anyone else is missing and fast. We might have a revolt on our hands." at my words, Shemhazai jumps since I'm using a more serious tone. I'm the type of person that would rather go fishing, research Sacred Gears, or get laid than do any political work but there are times one must do their job. And this is one of those times.
"B-but how can you be so sure if this source is being truthful?! This could be a ploy to cause a civil war! How trustworthy is this source to take their word on nothing!"
"Because I believe he is telling me the truth." I answered but it wasn't because I trust this Ren, no if I trusted everyone I just met then I would have died for a long time. Not many angels fall because they wanted to touch breasts like me, some of them fall because they did some really bad shit. And when being the leader of those people, you learn how to read people fast. Ren looked like he is telling the truth and I believe in my own abilities that helped me survive in this world so far, nothing too hard to understand. "Also, get me in contact with both the devils and Heaven, as this will involved them too."
I have been trying to find a way to end this cold war between us three for a while now and this might be it. As the old saying goes, 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'. And what better enemy than a Cadre Fallen that is a Great War veteran planning to kill the younger siblings of two of the most powerful devils while using the holy sword Excalibur to do it? But I doubt all three factions can just work together out of the gate.
Maybe a test group? Us them to prove old enemies can become allies? A smile forms on my face, knowing who I will use and where they can stay. Raynare might cost me the Boosted Gear but it doesn't mean there isn't any way to stop me from studying it. Now all I need to do is get two people to agree with my suggestion.
{Ren's P.O.V.}
I rise from my bed, despite not wanting to leave the comfortable feeling it gives, and put on my glasses. To take them off the next moment to rub any extra sleep from my eyes that could be playing tricks on me before putting them back on.
And nope, I wasn't seeing things. I'm no longer in my room.
The room is roughly three or four times the size of my room back at the apartment with large tv with my game console and games stored neatly on an entertainment rack, a proper desk with my computer on it, and even my bed was swapped with a far larger one. I can probably fit ten people on this thing and still have enough wiggle room for myself. Did someone move me and my stuff into a new house while I was asleep? Then why does outside the window show the same view as my room back at my apartment?
I leave the bedroom, seeing that the layout of the hallway also changed. It was a bit narrow but now it's now quite a bit bigger. As I go down the hall, several doors aline the walls but my old apartment was only a two bed and one bath layout so there shouldn't be this much space. A part of me wants to see what is behind some of these doors but that can wait until I learn what exactly is going on. I exit the hallway to see a large living room with a decent size kitchen and with island seating connecting the two. But what really got my attention was who was laying on one of the couches eating a bowl of cereal and watching one of those weird Japanese game shows.
Or rather what she is wearing.
Kalawarna lays on the couch, wearing nothing but a purple lacy bra and thong, watching her show with a bored expression. And I did what any teenage boy does when he sees a very hot almost naked woman in front of him.
"Why are you only in your underwear?"
This seems to get Kalawarna's attention away from her show and look at me. "Because I'm not planning on going anywhere, therefore no reason to get dressed." she says as if she was explaining why rain falls down. She got up from her seat, walks to the kitchen, and puts her empty bowl into the sink, with me getting a full view of her plush ass.
"Another question, why are you here? Shouldn't you be at Grigori right now?" I ask while I tuck my hardening shaft into my waistline. Being in sweatpants doesn't make hiding a boner easy and with a woman armed with looks that put most models to shame prancing around the living room with only her bra and thong hiding any important bits, popping a boner is no longer a question of if but when. It does make asking questions har- more difficult than normal.
"Azazel said since Mittelt and I really didn't do anything too bad while we were first here, we got a home arrest sentence. Well, not really home arrest, Azazel wants us to be part of some special project of his and he would overrule our punishments. And before you ask, I don't know what this project is but we should figure it out sooner or later." Kalawarne says before bending over, making the tiny thong disappear into the flesh of her ass.
"So that means Mittelt is here too?"
"Yes Romeo, both your girlfriends are here. Though Azazel hasn't told me who the final member of our group is, just that it isn't Raynare or Dohnaseek."
"Romeo? Girlfriends? I don't have any girlfriends." I told the nearly naked fallen.
"Not from what he told us. Though the look on their faces about you charging in to save was a treat. I didn't even know Mittelt could be that red." Kalawarna chuckles to herself.
"Why am I not surprised he would do something like that?" I rub my temple, trying to work out the headache that was forming. I even take out my menu and see that both Mittelt and Asia's profiles have two hearts out of ten, with a message saying 'small crush'.
"So you learned that Azazel can be a-"
"Ass?"
"I was going to say jerk but yeah, let's go with that. If trolling was a sin, then that would be why Azazel fall instead of boobs." Kalawarna says, getting back up after grabbing a beer.
"Great… I just got out of bed and I already want this day to be over." I grab a drink to take with me to my room, seeing that someone must have done some shopping since the fridge is stocked. As I made my way to my room, I bump into someone, someone that I know but need to take a second look at as she looks very different from the last time we met.
Mittelt's hair was loose and reaching her mid-back, no longer in the twin ponytails she normally has. That wasn't the only thing different, as she wasn't wearing her gothic lolita dress but instead a loose baggy shirt with one shoulder poking out of her collar with some jeans. But the thing that was the biggest shocker is her wearing glasses. I don't know what made this thought go through my mind when I saw her, she wasn't wearing any special clothes, wearing makeup, or anything but I can't help but think she is really cute. Cuter than normal. Maybe this is the 'girl next door' charm?
"Watch where you are going, Kala! Do you what to make m-!" Mittelt started to yell before she realize that I wasn't Kalawarna. "R-Ren?! W-what are you doing up so early?!"
"Early? It's eight in the morning."
And it would seem that Mittelt realizes what state of dress she was in as her face glows a bright red. "D-don't look! I-I just woke up so I didn't have time to get ready!"
"I don't see why you are so nervous. Sure you are cute dressed up but I think you look really cute right now." my words caused Mittelt's face to glow a deeper red while Kalawarna whistled.
"You two are already flirting this early in the morning? Thought maybe now I understand why Azazel told us about your little rescue mission. Getting reactions like this out of Mittelt is quite nice."
"Stop teasing me Kalawarna! Also, put on some damn pants!"
"One of the perks of being older~" Kalawarna says singingly, taking a sip of her beer. "Maybe once you're old enough to buy one of those M-rated games without me I will stop."
"I'm not that young! I'm fifteen!"
"Wait, you're fifteen?" I ask.
"Yeah, something wrong with that?" Mittelt glares at me. Maybe being up her age isn't the smartest move?
"No, just… I thought you would be way older with you being a fallen and all that."
Thankfully that seems to calm Mittelt down, she even chuckles a bit. "Nah, I'm fifteen. I'm not a grandma like Raynare. She was the oldest among us three, though I don't know Dohnaseek's age I still bet he is younger than her."
"So what's the plan for today?"
"I was planning to take Asia shopping once she gets up, as she can't wear copies of the same outfit every day. Like a certain someone." Mittelt look at Kalawarna.
"What? It's easier to just wear the same thing, cheaper too. Besides we both know the guys and girls back at the base don't care what I'm wearing on top, they want to know what is underneath." Kalawarna gestured to her underwear.
Mittelt just ignores what Kalawarna says, turning to me. "S-seeing as we're planning to go shopping, do you want to join? We do need someone to carry the bags after all." Mittelt says, trying to play it off as her only needing a bagboy but the red dusting her cheeks betrays that notion.
"Sure, I don't mind going shopping but how are we going to pay for a whole new wardrobe? I know I don't enough funds for that."
"Easy. It's all coming from Azazel, thanks to this!" Mittelt holds up a black credit card. "Azazel says we can use this to help us get set up for our new life here and I'm certain that we can bullshit our way into getting some upgrades for our gaming under the guise of helping Asia understand modern human society."
"Before you two plan out a date, shouldn't you be at school Ren? It is a school day after all." Kalawarna points out, making me laugh.
"After last night? I can bet Rias told the teachers that I would be out since I doubt anyone is going to school after learning about devils and angels being a very real thing." I said. "I'm skipping, and if carrying some bags is the price then I'm taking it."
Soon after that, Asia walks into the room wearing the same robes or one that is just like them from our first meeting. But as soon she sees me, her cheeks dyed a redder tone before giving me a hug. Once Asia lets go Mittelt explains that we three are going shopping for clothes, something Asia was excited about since this is her first outing with friends. It was honestly nice to see the girl so happy and free, especially considering what else could have happened.
As Asia looks through the window, seeing what the store is selling, I decide to spark up a conversation with Mittelt. "So, seeing that we are going to be working together for a while, how about telling me something about yourself?"
Mittelt raises a brow. "Doesn't that power of yours tell you about stuff like that?"
"It told me that your name and race but nothing else."
"Then sorry to disappoint but there isn't anything interesting about me. Child of two low ranking fallen that died on a mission a few years ago." Mittelt says in a dismissive tone.
"Sorry about that."
"Don't be. It is honestly a common thing among the supernatural. Luckily for me, my parents had insurance in case something like that happened so I was fine on money for a good while but it doesn't last forever." Mittelt says. "That is actually how Raynare pulled me into this bullshit, told me it was a simple job that pays well. I even drag Kalawarna into it because her lazy butt could use some extra cash too."
It was kind of scary how Mittelt talks about her parents' death. She said it as if she was ordering off a menu but I guess that is the reality of this world. Just a reminder that beneath all the boobs and the power of love and friendship this world is a cold-hearted bastard. The strong lives while the weak have to follow them just for a chance of survival.
As I was deep in my thoughts, Mittelt pulls me into a store that Asia went in. It was pretty funny to see the former nun looking like a kid in a candy store.
"Is there anything, in particular, you want Asia?" I ask.
"Um… I never really wore anything besides my robes before but maybe something not so…" Asia trails off as she looks at a couple of girls in short skirts. "...revealing."
"So clothes that show a lot of skin are out, ok. How about jeans?" I suggested. "They would something good to wear on a mission as well, less likely to trip over than a robe."
"And maybe a light color shirt, such as green or pink. It would work well with Asia's skin tone." Mittelt comments, already handing Asia several outfits and pushing her into the changing room. After doing that, Mittelt grabs some clothes, mainly shorts and skirts. Probably something for herself to try on.
Should I look for something for myself? I don't need any new clothes and I'm really into fashion but I might as well get something if it's coming from Azazel's pocket.
"Hey Ren. How do you think I look in these?" Mittelt asks, getting my attention. And that's when I notice two things, one is her smirk that she has when teasing me, and two, what she's holding.
Which is a dark red thong.
I feel my cheeks heat as the image of her wearing that appears in my mind but I plan to be not the only one blushing this time.
"I think it was look great on you. Something for our next date?~" my question shocked Mittelt, her face glowing a bright red before smirking back at me.
"Oh~? Already planning the second date? I guess I better look forward to what you have planned~" Mittelt sings.
"You better~" I said. I enjoy the smug smile Mittelt gives me. I can't always be the blushing one between us and I bet Mittelt would just get bored if all I did is blush. Plus I think we are close enough to tease one another. We are members of the same team and faction now.
"Um… Ren, Mittelt… how do I look?" Asia asks, getting us to stop playing around and look at her new outfit. A pink shirt with a white floral pattern, jeans, and some sneakers. Nothing too special but particle and looks great on her.
"I think you look great Asia, it fits you well." I said, making the former nun blush as she happily nods.
"But what about the back?" Mittelt brings up. "Can you spin around Asia?"
And with that Asia spins around and something stands out. There wasn't anything wrong with the clothes, the issue is… how tight they seem. I didn't realize how well the legs of the jeans cling to Asia's leg but what caught my attention is higher up.
The fabric of the jeans clings tightly to Asia's bottom, giving me a nice outline of it. I know I have seen it before almost bare but Asia does have a really nice butt. I can feel my heartbeat increase from my excitement. I go to tell Asia the back looks fine to prevent anything from going out of hand.
Then she bends over, making the already tight jeans stretch, seamlessly making Asia's large butt look even larger.
"Damn… That's a nice ass…"
I turn over to the source of the voice, seeing Mittelt staring at Asia's bent form with her face blushing and biting her lip. It seems Mittelt plays for both sides. And yes Mittelt, that is a nice ass.
Thankfully, Asia straightens back up, drawing a disappointed 'Ah' from Mittelt.
"So how did it look?" Asia asks.
"Great!" Mittelt thumb up, something I copied. Sorry Asia, we were too busy staring to do our jobs. Our comments made Asia happy, which is good.
"Let me try something now!" Mittelt says as she grabs a couple of clothes, jumping into the dressing room after Asia steps out. And I'm not sure if Mittelt used magic to change or what but as soon the curtain closes, it opens with Mittelt in a new outfit. Mittelt is wearing a crop top to show off her midriff and a pair of short shorts known as hot pants. I sallow some saliva that built up from Mittelt's deliberate slow spin, making sure that I was looking at her butt. Which, while far smaller than Asia's, is quite nice as well. Far more tone than Asia's but soft enough that my fingers would sink into the soft flesh and is big enough to be a solid handful. "So~? What do you think~?"
"Not bad, cute butt by the way Mittelt." I said.
"C-can try something Mittelt?!" Asia suddenly asks. Mittelt in stunned confusion moves out of the changing room for Asia to enter, who jumps in holding something. We both look at each other, wondering what the hell was that all about.
"I-I'm done…" Asia says, opening the curtains to reveal that she was wearing similar shorts to Mittelt. Asia's creamy white legs are on full display as she turns just like Mittelt, her plump thighs giving a slight jiggle as she stops, along with her ass. The shorts on her look amazing and judging by how Mittelt is drooling a bit at the sight she would agree but I realize that Asia doesn't exactly look comfortable in them.
I sigh to myself, I should have seen this coming. Asia was willing to strip naked at the sight of Rias sleeping in Issei's bed naked so her wearing hot pants wouldn't be impossible. I got up from my seat and give the deeply blushing girl a small head pat, if it works in most anime then it should work here.
"You know you don't have to do anything you don't want to do, right?"
My question snaps Asia out of her nervous state. "B-But I am doing what I want! I decided to put on this myself!"
"Then why the shaking?"
At that, Asia realize that she was shaking, it was slight but it was there. Asia looks down, looking as if she is ashamed about something. "I just thought that if I don't go along, I might ruin the trip…"
I know there is more to it but I know better than to push for it. The girl never had any friends, let alone a crush, so her social skills are shit level, something that needs to be worked on. But for now?
"Asia, you are not going to ruin the shopping trip just because you don't want to wear some shorts."
"B-But you and Mittelt-"
"Are comfortable with teasing each other like that." I interrupt. "You shouldn't try to mimic Mittelt, because you are not her. You should do what makes you feel comfortable. We are friends here Asia, we not going to judge you or think less of you because of something as small as this." I told the girl, who creak a small smile.
"If it's any consolation, you look great Asia. I'm certain this guy would agree, you should have seen how he was staring at your legs." Mittelt says, making me blush as she told Asia that I was checking her out. Before I could deny what she says, Asia lets out a small laugh.
At that, both Mittelt and I let out our own laugh, and just for a moment, I forgot about all this bullshit. No talk about the supernatural, no thoughts about canon plotlines, and no feelings of tension. Just me and my two female friends enjoying each other's company. But as sudden as that feeling came, it left but I know that I can't expect to keep moments like this just by stumbling along with the flow. I need to get better and since it seems that my system won't help me in that regard, I'm going to have to do this the hard way. But it will be worth it.
As I want these laughs to keep on going.
