Balancing work, writing, and reading High School DxD is hard, but I will try to manage it, somehow. Anyways, this chapter will focus on Ravel recalling how she met a Naruto, back when he still wore his glasses. I like to build these prelude as a way to build things up and cover things I wanted to write in but couldn't.
Also, I think I'm going to stop doing D/E Extras and put the moments that were going to be covered in them in FIREBRAND DX2.
As for this posting, after realizing the 2nd of August is National Boob Day, I knew I had to haul ass and finish this chapter. I had to submit it a minute before midnight to make it. It'll take some time to have the chapter update, which is about 30-60 minutes long.
Monday (7/25)
Underworld
Phenex Residence
Night
Lady Phenex wondered what Ravel was thinking as she walked in on her daughter looking out her bedroom window. The younger sister of Riser's eyes had a look of longing in them, recalling a certain bespectacled blond she met when exploring the Human World. She could remember the way his bright blue eyes stole her heart.
"Ravel." Hearing her mother call her name, she abruptly turned her attention towards her, her cheeks flushed as she shouts, "Mother!? You're supposed to knock before you enter!"
"I did knock. Is going to the upcoming Young Devils Gathering without Riser troubling you?" asked Lady Phenex. Ravel nods her head no, saying someone else was on her mind instead of something else, which her mother picks up.
"Someone, you say? Do tell Mommy, Ravel." Ravel's Mother had her hands on her shoulders as she insisted on knowing the details.
"...You won't tell Father, will you?"
"This is a secret between the two of us Phenex girls," Lady Phenex promised. "Is this someone from the Gremory Peerage? The Knight and Pawn are good-looking for your age."
"No, it's none of those two. It's...a human boy." Ravel's Mother looked amused by her daughter's interest in a "human", asking her how it came to be.
"...It all started a couple of months ago while I was out in the Human World..."
Two months ago
Wednesday (5/25)
Ever since his defeat at the hands of Issei on the night of his own engagement party, Ravel's older brother, Riser, fell into a deep slump and had developed dracophobia, a fear of dragons. Since that night, Riser had confined himself into his room, sulking as well as neglecting his duties as the King of his peerage. It was upsetting for Ravel to see him in the state he was in, and it was stressful to handle the duties he'd usually deal with himself. Day and night Ravel had to go up and beyond for the brother she looked up to or used to look up to, and every time she'd be nearing her limit. Seeing her daughter nearly tiring herself out, Lady Phenex offered to handle Riser's workload in Ravel's place for a week so she could take her time for herself and relieve the stress she had been building up from overworking.
For her first day of relaxation, she decided to go to the Human World and take a trip to Japan, which she rarely had the time to do until now. She had been wanting to see Fuyuki City, arriving there at 7 in the morning, and enjoying the ramen at a restaurant students of Homurahara Academy frequented in the shopping district. Right after, she went to a glasses shop to purchase a pair of reading glasses for herself, deciding on ones with a red frame. Everywhere she went, she'd have boys her age turn their attention towards her, whether they were single or not. While making her way to another shop, Joichi and Naruto take notice of her, the two wondering where the eyes of some of their fellow male students were moving towards.
"That girl..."
"Hmm? Know her?" Joichi asked.
"She's a Devil like me, from the Phenex Peerage," Naruto answered.
"The one who brags about her older brother?" Naruto nods his head yes to answer his friend.
"Seekvaira told me after Issei defeated him, he developed a fear for dragons and hasn't come out of his room ever since. She's been dealing with the responsibilities he'd usually handle."
"What's she doing here?" Naruto comes to the conclusion that she needed time for herself, having built up so much stress from dealing with Riser's responsibilities and the state he was in. "Must be hard being a young responsible sibling..."
"Wouldn't know, my sisters are bearable," said the bespectacled blond. "Come on, we need to hurry to the park. We're supposed to clean it up."
"Our academy helping Homurahara Academy clean up trash is not my ideal field trip." Joichi lets out a sigh after, Naruto telling him to look on the bright side.
"We can get some exercise in going around and picking up trash." Realizing this, Joichi tells Naruto he's glad he's his friend. "And as another bonus, Akame is helping with cooking the cream stew."
"Another bright side to look forward to."
2:30 pm
Thank you all for your cooperation! You are all free to go home for the day!" Sona told the students, using a megaphone to do so.
"Now that we're done for the day, you think we can do some "training" tonight?" asked Joichi.
"Sure, I just need to get some hardware first. A colleague of mine at Agares Corp needs it for when I stop by for work tomorrow afternoon." When asked if it was "her" who requested it, he said yes.
"Such a serious and blunt person you work with, with quite a nice body," Joichi comments. "I'm surprised you can work with such a girl like her residing in an office next to yours."
"I'm very serious about my work, JoJo. I don't let desires get to me that easy," Naruto told his friend with a confident smile.
3:12 pm
Fuyuki City
Verde (Shopping Mall)
Naruto had on a satisfied look on his face as he exited the electronics store, bag of hardware in hand. Checking his phone, he found himself having some time to kill before boarding a train back to Kuoh Town.
"I still have some time before-"
"I already said no!" Turning to where the yelling was coming from, Naruto saw Ravel getting her left wrist grabbed by a tall male with short hear in punk clothes who was constantly asking her on a date, though now he wasn't taking her no's for an answer and had decided to force her to come with him.
"Stop being so hard to get and come on!"
"Let go of my wrist or else!" she told the man.
"As if you could-" The man doesn't finish as Naruto forcefully pulled the man's hand off Ravel's left wrist. "Who the hell are you?"
"It doesn't matter," he told the man. "What matters is that you're forcing her to come with you when she already said no to you several times. Either you're stubborn as hell or hard at hearing."
"What are you? Some kid who is trying to score with girls by trying something as dumb as butting into someone's business?"
"I'm a kid who is doing something other people should have been doing instead of spectating." Naruto had a good stared own with the man, who was going to initiate a fight until Naruto's glare intensified, feeling very threatened by the blond, whose presence told the man, "Pull a stunt like this again with any other girl, and I'll be sure to hunt you down and make you regret it.", making him turn the other way and leave in fear.
"You okay?" he asked Ravel, who couldn't help but stare at Naruto, wondering how a boy her age managed to intimidate someone who was about 3-4 years older than him. "Hello?"
"O-Oh, I'm okay. Thank you," she told Naruto, bowing her head to him with respect. "That man wouldn't leave me alone for a good minute."
"One whole minute of that guy asking for a date?"
"Yes...What that man said, did you butt in because I was pretty and you hoped that by saving me, you'd get me to fall head over heels for you?" Naruto sighed at this question, telling her if he was doing so to get her to like him, he'd be stuttering in-between sentences after or saying a cheesy line to get her to fall head over heels for him.
"I see. You must be very brave, strong, or crazy to have been able to do what you just did," Ravel said to Naruto, before smiling at him. "As thanks, how about I treat my savior to some crepes?"
"Crepes, huh. If I may, I know just the place that serves the best crepes in Fuyuki City," Naruto told Ravel, who drooled a bit from the thought of how good the crepes would taste. "She's a sugar nut like Koneko and Kotomi..."
Unnamed Crepes Shop
As Naruto bit down on his Strawberry Custard Crepe, he watched as Ravel happily partook in her Chocolate Mille Crepe across from him. He asks her if her crepe was good after he swallowed the food in his mouth.
"It is. You have my thanks for showing me this place."
"A friend of mine (Fujino) told me about it, and suggested it to me," Naruto responds.
"She knows her sweets..."
"Sir, your Cafe au Lait with Honey." Naruto thanks the server before she leaves to take another order to a customer.
"This is late, but you're obviously not from around here, given the fancy clothes you wear. Are you here on a trip?" Naruto asked the Phenex Bishop. Ravel tells the bespectacled blond she was on break, and she wasn't a stranger to Japan since she's been here a few times.
"Break? From what?"
"I'm not sure if I am comfortable telling a stranger my reason for having a break here in Fuyuki." After taking a sip from his drink, Naruto told her he saved her not too long ago, without asking for anything in return, and he didn't do so to get laid, assuming that was how she viewed boys that miraculously show up out of nowhere to help her.
"You're very detailed."
"People tell me that sometimes..." Looking at him, Ravel says he didn't look the type but notes how his looks could be deceiving. "True, that's another factor to take in when meeting new people. How about this: I take you around Fuyuki City a bit, show you a good time, and you can judge me yourself on what sort of character I am as we go along? I have some time before I need to go home."
"How convenient..." Finishing her crepe, Ravel agrees to it. "So, where are we going after this?"
Batting Center
4:20 pm
Ravel watched in amazement as Naruto continued to hit the baseballs flying at him towards the target across from him.
"Hehhhh, he's quite athletic..." Finished, Naruto asked her if she wanted to try. "Me?"
"Yeah. It's great for relieving pent up anger, even stress."
"Very well, I shall give it a try." Now it was Naruto's turn to watch as Ravel, bat in hand, gets ready to play ball. Seeing the way she positioned herself, Naruto could tell she never played baseball before. "Watch closely, as I hit this one out of-" Immediately, the ball flies past her without warning, blowing her hair back a bit.
"Out of what?" asked Naruto, who was trying his hardest not to laugh at the Phenex girl.
"Just watch. I'll hit the second one." Ravel swung the bat as the second ball flew towards her. Much to her dismay, she missed the ball. When Naruto asked if she needed help, Ravel stubbornly told him she didn't, missing the third ball. This went on until her time limit was up.
"And you're out..." Seeing Ravel look like she was about to cry, Naruto lets out a sigh. "Don't be so stubborn. It's not a bad thing to ask for help, which you should have done since your posture was off, and the way you held the bat was in dire need of adjusting. I'll help you get into the right posture, and you can handle the rest. Fair?"
"...Fair," Ravel said in a sad but thankful manner. Getting in with her, Naruto tells Ravel to show him her batting posture. Once she did, Naruto told her to hold still. Ravel was surprised, and embarrassed, when Naruto got behind her, his head resting on her left shoulder, and helped her move her feet and arms to get into the right batting position. As he explained it to her, the Phenex girl found herself distracted by his smiling face.
"You get all that?" he asked her, bringing Ravel to her senses.
"Y-Yes...I got some of it."
"Great." Now in a better batting posture, Ravel swung as the ball came flying towards her. This time she managed to hit the ball, though it didn't hit the target. Naruto clapped his hands for her, letting her continue her batting session afterward.
4:55 pm
"Despite failing miserably the first time, the second and third time made it fun," a satisfied Ravel told the blond. "I can't deny that all those swings did relieve most of the stress I had...Thank you for the...posturing."
"Of course." Checking the clock, Naruto estimated he had until 7:45 pm to go back to Kuoh Town and help Joichi with his training. He'd also need to text Shizune that he wasn't going to be home until 9:30 pm. "Anywhere you want to check out?" Turning to her right to view the shops across from them, Ravel noticed one of them was a bookstore, pointing at it.
"A bookstore?"
"There's a...book I want to purchase..." When asked, what it was, Ravel yelled, "Nothing you need to know!"
"I only asked a simple question." Realizing what she did was wrong, she apologized to Naruto.
Unnamed Bookstore
Checking a section of the store for romance novels, she found the book she'd been looking for, "Icha Icha Innocence."
"It's here..." she said to herself, smiling as she grabbed one of the five remaining copies and affectionately held it in her arms. When she turned to head to the checkout, she found Naruto in front of her, holding a couple of manga books in hand. Being caught by the bespectacled blond, her face gradually begins to heat up, and steam started coming out of her ears.
"That book...She's a fan of his series. You like what you like. Some of the friends I know (Joichi, Seekvaira, Shino, and Moka) are fans of the series so I won't judge you." Ravels was speechless as Naruto walked to the checkout to buy his books. He stops suddenly, gesturing her to come closer with his right hand. "If you'd like, you can hand that book to me. I'll buy it for you."
5:05 pm
Ravel followed Naruto in silence, not sure what to tell the blond. She wanted to talk to his reason for buying the book for her. At the same time, from what he said to her earlier, she could tell he could be trusted with keeping a secret.
"You want to say something?" Naruto asked the Phenex girl, grabbing her attention. "I can lend an ear, so..."
"Why did you offer to buy that book for me? You don't know me at all, so why?"
"Maybe I'm buying your trust with that book...Or maybe I'm just that nice of a guy to have bought it for you," he replied.
"...Thank you."
"...How long have you been a fan of the series?" Naruto asked her. "You can tell me about that, right?" Ravel was silent for five seconds before she made the decision to tell him. She started with "Icha Icha Paradise", a book her "older brother" had bought but found uninteresting to read, handing it to her after reading only the first few pages of chapter one. From there, she started collecting the books, along with the manga adaptions.
"The book was sold out on most of the stores in Japan I visited until now. It was even sold out on Amazon..."
"Hehhhh...You must have very perverted fantasies after reading books like those." Ravel's face turned red with embarrassment and anger as she denied that she had those kinds of thoughts from reading the Icha Icha series. "Why else would you buy those books?"
"For the story! The sto-ry!"
"If you say so..." The two stop in their tracks once Ravel's stomach growls. "It's almost time for dinner." Checking his phone, he tells Ravel of a ramen shop 30 minutes from where they were. "Ramen? Shouldn't you take a girl like me to something fancier?"
"Need I remind you that I am a stranger to you?"
"..."
"Sometimes even the cheapest of foods, setting aside all the fast-food joints, can be delicious, you just need to know where to look."
Ramen Ichiraku (Fuyuki)
5:36 pm
"The oily smell in this place is strong..." Ravel noted as she followed Naruto to their seats at the bar.
"The main Ichiraku in Fukuoka is the best, but the chain restaurants are just as good," Naruto told her. Taking their seats, the two looked up at the menu on the board.
"Welcome to Ichiraku! Are you two ready to order?" asked the male server. Naruto orders the spicy lobster ramen with a side of gyoza. Having never had ramen in her life, Ravel orders the same thing, excluding any entrees.
"Are you sure? That dish is pretty spicy," Naruto warned.
"I'm no stranger with spicy foods," Ravel assured him, just as the server came back with Nauto's gyoza. Looking at the entree, Ravel's stomach growled as soon as Naruto popped one in his mouth and savored the umami from it. Noticing her gaze on his entree, swallowing the food in his mouth, Naruto asked the server if he could have another order of gyoza.
"Coming right up!" Naruto slides his plate of gyoza so it was between him and Ravel.
"There's three left. You can have two of them."
"Thank you." Trying one potsticker, the umami from it makes Ravel hum in delight.
"It's good for something made cheap, huh?" asked a smug Naruto. Taking this into account, Ravel turned red and told him it was passable as she pops the second one into her mouth. "I admit, the one who made this knows their craft well."
"Ichiraku has been perfecting their craft and feeding customers for more than 40 years, going from a small shop from Fukuoka to what it is now. I wish I was born earlier. I remember my Mom telling me Old Man Teuchi made the best ramen anyone had ever tasted before he passed away."
"Two spicy lobster ramens!" yelled the eccentric male server as he sets the two bowls of ramen in front of them.
"Itadakimasu," the two blonds said in unison before picking up their chopsticks. Seeing Naruto preparing to dig in with his glasses on, she asked him if he was going to take them off.
"Oh, thanks for reminding me." Once the Agares Rook took his glasses off, Ravel's cheeks turned red and her heart started beating fasted as she looked at him.
"インスタントショック (Insutantoshokku)!" Ravel yelled in her mind. Looking at her with a smile, Naruto told her they should dig in before their noodles get soggy. "R-Right!" As they ate their meals, Ravel glanced at Naruto's face a few times.
"That's cheating..." she whispered to herself.
"You say something?" Naruto asked her. Quickly looking back at her bowl, Ravel told him she was just talking to herself before resuming her meal. When asked if the ramen was good, Ravel told him it was more than just good. Minutes into their ramen, the two found themselves out of noodles.
"Can we get two bowls of saffron rice, please!?" Naruto asked out loud, the server immediately setting down two bowls of warm, saffron rice in front of them. "Now this is where the fun begins..."
"Fun?" Naruto tells her they were going to eat the lobster's brain while finishing the remaining meat with the soup and rice. "Brain!?"
"Yeah."
"How are we supposed to have the brain!?"
"We slurp it up." Naruto's answer shocked Ravel.
"Slurp!?" she yelled. "I can't eat in such a crude manner!? At least get something to crack open-"
"You've been hungrily slurping those noodles several minutes ago and now you want to stop at just that?" he asked Ravel. "From your reaction to having to eat the lobster's brain, I can tell you eat your food with etiquette. I'm here to tell you to push that aside and let loose. There's no need to hold back, and no one here to say otherwise," he said with a (devilish) grin, surprising the Phenex girl with how wild he was looking. Right after, Naruto poured the soup broth onto the rice, along with the lobster meat. He then sucked the lobster's brain out of his lobster's head before hungrily devouring the rice. Seeing Naruto hungrily eat the rice, the way he enjoyed his food convinced her to forget about etiquette as she followed how he ate the dish. Once they were finished, Naruto lets out a satisfied sigh, while Ravel questioned how she could let herself eat like an animal.
"It was good, right?" asked Naruto, smiling at her. Realizing how she let herself go, she turned red and looked down at her empty bowl and said, "Delicious..."
"Wow, you must've really loved the dish, Little Miss," said the male server.
"Compliments to the chef," Ravel replied as the server took their empty bowls away. While Naruto picks up and puts his glasses back on, Ravel said, "My older brother."
"Hm?"
"That's who I'm taking a break from," she told Naruto, feeling she can trust him enough to tell him.
"He is...was very strong. I believed no one could beat him...until one night, he actually lost...and now...he's not the brother I looked up to. Just because of one loss, he is unable to even come out of the comforts of his own room, making me take care of all of his responsibilities!" Ravel complained to the blond. "Can you believe that!?"
"I don't think I can. But I do believe it's tough to be a younger sibling. I have an older sister, who is pretty mature, but at times when we least expect it, my younger sister and I would have to take care of her duties whenever she gets called to go hang out with her friends, even on days when we're assigned specific chores around the house. But despite all of that...I do it because I love my sister. You may not like being given those tasks your brother's supposed to be responsible for, but you did them anyway because you love your brother."
"Right..."
"People have moments when they're brought to their lowest, depending on what the root cause of it was," Naruto said to the Phenex girl. "Your brother needs to find it in himself to get back on his feet, and it seems he can't do it by himself. He needs your help, whether it involves giving him tough love or helping him confront the cause of why he became that way in the first place. If all else fails, feel free to ask help from others. That's all I CAN say." Feeling it was the Phenex Clan's responsibility to deal with Riser, Ravel told Naruto she'll try to deal with her brother herself, due to her pride, but tells him she'll keep asking others outside of her family for help in mind.
Fuyuki Train Station
6:20 pm
"Thank you for showing me a good time on this date. I never expected to have this much fun today."
"This was a date?" he asked. "I don't remember this being a blind date." Ravel turned red after realizing she was the one who called their hanging out a date.
"That just slipped out!" she yelled as she frantically waved her arms up and down.
"I got it, I got it," Naruto said with a smile.
"...I have a good idea of what sort of person you are," Ravel told Naruto, who didn't respond as Ravel continued. "You're the type of person who is willing to get involved in matters not your own when others don't have the courage to, and when you want to brighten someone's day. You also have quite a wild and playful side to you that you don't let out very often unless you feel it necessary. Last but not least, you're the type to be helpful and loyal to those you care about, which also extends to strangers sometimes. Did I read you right?"
"Very well done," Naruto told her, clapping his hands, Ravel smiling from getting her thoughts about him right, though Naruto kept to himself that she wasn't completely right.
"...Do I...get a reward for getting you right?" she asked in a shy manner.
"Where is this coming from?" Naruto asked.
"I had to hang out with someone I don't even know and put up with him knowing what sort of books I like and having to eat without etiquette, all for a bowl of ramen. It was...embarrassing. I at least...deserve...something..."
"...Very well. What would you like?" Naruto looked confused as Ravel presents him her hand.
"Kiss my hand..."
"Uhhh what?"
"I come from a very rich family, and we sometimes do this when greeting someone or saying goodbye to them," she explained.
"That's all you want?" Ravel shyly nods her head, yes, to confirm it. Gently smiling at her, Naruto took the girl's hand and kissed the top of it, making Ravel's body heat up from the act as Naruto's train arrives. "Goodbye, and stay safe. You don't know what kinds of sickos could be around the corner."
"Y-Yeah, goodbye to you as well." Ravel watched as the blond turned around and entered his train.
"...Wait, what's your name!?" Naruto, despite hearing it, doesn't respond as the doors close behind him and the train rides off.
Now
Monday (7/25)
Underworld
Phenex Residence
Night
"My Ravel, that is such a cruel thing to experience. Falling in love with a human you may never get to see again unless fate wills it." Ravel admits it was cruel since she should've gone after him, but laments not being able to use her powers to do so without exposing herself.
"Every now and then, I think about him. It's really frustrating not knowing who he is."
"I do know how you feel about this, having had an experience like that myself before I met your father. But, as a Devil, you will live longer than him and be tortured with the reality of his mortality." Ravels tells her mother she is fully aware of the harsh reality of it, and that the best she could do was keep the boy in her memory.
"One day, I am sure you'll find someone who'll make you feel the same way you felt for that boy. It would be quite a miracle if he became a Devil." Smiling, Ravels agrees with her mother.
With Naruto
Nilrem Secret Hideout
Before he could cast a spell, Akame quickly dashed past the Nilrem magician as she leaves a diagonal cut on his chest, the cut spreading a poisonous curse through his body.
"It was only just a cut..." was the last thing he said as his heart stops beating. Maki sliced off a Nilrem witch's hands with a swing of her katana before bisecting her and shooting a second one three times in the chest. One cowardly Nilrem magician could only watch as Akame, Naruto, and Maki killed his allies one by one. Making a run for it, his eyes widen when he finds his own head severed from his body with the seconds he had left, being decapitated by Ayano, who had just arrived at the hideout after taking care of one in Kobe.
Running at a group of ten Nilrem witches firing at her, Ayano, her Frayed Blade drawn, with the weapon's sheath floating on the left side of her waist, deflects a few of the blasts that almost hit her, spinning her body clockwise and slicing the top half of the first witch's head off. She then holds her katana in a reverse grip in her right hand and sings it to the left, the blade decapitating three more witches. When one of the remaining six tried to fire a spell from behind, Ayano threw a kunai at the hand the witch was planning to fire her spell from, distracting her long enough to close the distance and swing her katana down on the now-screaming witch, holding her weapon with both hands to slice her down the middle. The next two witches are about to use a combination spell until Ayano resheathed the Frayed Blade and quickly swings the weapon's blade down onto the stone ground as a wall of flame quickly moved towards and incinerate them. The remaining witch stepped back in fear as she mutter, "Monster...You're a monster.", as Ayano's blue eyes gave off a bright and intimidating shine as she looked at her with a devilish smirk.
"Monster huh? I am far more dangerous than any monsters you've encountered..." As soon as the witch blinked, she was already dead, Ayano having walked past her in a casual manner and slicing her head off.
Finished on their end, Akame swings Murasame to rid it of the blood covering the blade and put it back in its sheath as Naruto, Maki, and Ayano met up with her.
"That should be all of them," said Ayano, who thanks the three for helping her out as Naruto and the others collect the magic books the Nilrem had been taking from the Hidden Gap. When Akame asked what she was planning to do with the books as Naruto destroyed the runes keeping the entrance to the Hidden Gap open and Maki collected any Hidden Gap materials Shirabi could use to forge new equipment, she told them she planned to take them and expand her already impressive "arsenal" before destroying them.
"You need help bringing these books to your place?" Naruto asked. "The Nilrem took a good amount of them, enough to fill at least 20 bookshelves."
"No, I plan on looking through each and every one of them and destroying whichever I have no need for up until morning. We do start Summer Vacation tomorrow."
"You want us to stay and help?" Naruto asked.
"No, I can do this on my own. Don't need you to worry anyone at your place on how late you tend to stay up."
Namikaze Residence
Front Door
8:45 pm
"Naruto, how did I do tonight?" Akame asked her brother as she, Naruto, and Maki approach the front door.
"You did well tonight. You have been for every single night you've been working with Harumaki and me...It's strange to compliment you on this type of stuff Akame, sorry."
Entering the house and walking into the living room, they find an unknown girl with knee-length brown hair having tea with Chelsea, Shizune, and Xenovia. Shizune welcomes them back before Naruto asked her who their guest was.
"Apparently, this bombshell is a foreign exchange student who will be living here with us for a while," said a smiling Chelsea.
"Good evening, Naruto, my name is Sayaka Kirasaka (EN: Brina Palencia), I will be in your family's care starting tonight, and I look forward to knowing you, your family, and your friends." Naruto lets out a sigh before he found himself conversing with Sayaka in his room.
Naruto's Room
"Who are you affiliated with and why did they send you here?" he asked the girl, who was sitting at the side of his bed.
"I am a Shamanic War Dancer associated with a faction of the Church that grooms mages that specialize in hex magic and assassination. For my reason for being here, my superiors consider you a potential threat to the Church and the Underworld. I am here to evaluate your every action, and submit a report at the end of my stay here to determine if you'll become a strong ally or a dangerous foe to us all."
"I feel that unnecessary, Kirasaka. I have no intention of being an enemy of the Church, and I'm honestly getting sick of those allied with the Church deeming me a threat."
"That's why I'm here, to confirm this. I'll have you know that it wasn't my choice to come here, but here I am. So until my job here is done, we're stuck with each other."
"...So you're going to be evaluating my everyday life? 24/7?" Kirasaka nods yes to confirm it. "You're also going to attend my school and be in the same classes as me?"
"Will have to if I want to do my job efficiently."
"...Okay. You should head to bed. Xenovia should have a futon in her room you can-" Naruto is unable to finish when Sayaka starts stripping down to her underwear in front of him, starting with the removing of her bowtie, sweater vest, and blouse. "What are you doing!?"
"I'm getting ready for bed," she told him, removing her skirt and socks after. "If I'm going to watch over you better, I need to be in the same bedroom as you."
"At least wear a nightdress or a t-shirt if you're going to do this!" he yelled.
"I can't sleep well unless I am naked. I was told you do this to every girl you are affiliated with."
"That is inaccurate information! Inaccurate!"
