Chapter 3: A Faithful Reunion

"This is rare. To meet someone like you in a place like this,"

What's this guy talking about?

"Hmmm… you're not him. You're just a shitty human," Dohnaseek snide.

Shitty human?

Without a care in the world, Issei ran as fast as he could

But admittedly, it wasn't all that fast since Issei is not an athlete nor in shape. He spends his days watching porn after all

As a result, it was easy for Dohnaseek to catch up with him

"Wait a minute, I know you. You're the Sacred Gear user that Raynare was supposed to kill."

That talk about Sacred Gear again, Issei thought.

"No matter, if I can't kill him, then I will have to kill you,"

I'm going to die again, aren't I?"

"Oi, look out!"

Before Dohnaseek's spear pierced him, he was pushed by someone.

As Issei fell to the ground, he recalled his experience with the Raynare incident.

That blue…..

No way, it's him, right? The transfer student….

"Ah, it's you, just the man I was looking for."

Nao didn't say anything instead opted to stay quiet.

"Not much of a talker, are ya? No matter, Raynare might not be able to kill you, but I won't make the same mistake as she did. Now die!"

Dohnaseek threw light spears, but Nao didn't even flinch and stood there

What is this guy? He stands there yet… Issei thought

After the barrage of light spears that Dohnaseek threw, Nao ran up to him and choked his neck.

"So, another fallen angel. You know, I will never forgive your kind when one of you tried to kill me. Now, you will feel what judgment is."

Angrily, Nao threw Dohnaseek to the ground and extended his arm to prepare a summon.

"Come, Ba'al!"

There he was, Ba'al, in the flesh. Dohnaseek couldn't do anything in fear. He tried to get up and run, but Baal punched him so hard that he got back down.

"Ah, fallen, I've known your kind," Baal said

"D-demons? You can summon Demons? Had Father allow for such power in a Sacred Gear?"

"Father? Ah…. Yahweh, The God of Creation. I remembered that day like it was yesterday. His betrayal, the day when He cast us out when He became God. The day where I lost my throne. I gave Him a chance to rule together, but He betrayed me, killed my followers, and left me for dead! I regretted befriending Him, and I regretted when He used His words to sway all of us and killed us. No Matter, let it be known to all men across the earth, my rage!"

Dohnaseek couldn't believe it. The blue-haired boy was leagues apart from him. With powers that could rival Ophis or The Great Red, he was severely outmatched.

"My name is Ba'al, Ba'al Haddad, and I will show you a god's rage!"

-Line Break-

Michael was having a bad time, every day since the death of his Father, it had not been the same.

Uriel had not been the same. He had lost his youthful spirit. Raphael had become crasser, and Gabriel, his sister, was also in deep pain.

Michael knew that heaven is not the same without Father's love and guidance. That's why he tried his hardest to take the mantle of heaven's ruler and fill His shoes. But sadly, he's unable to keep heaven intact. More angels fell when they heard that God had died. The Great War also has dwindled their numbers.

His thought was broken when an angel knocked on the door in his chamber.

"Michael-sama, we have a report coming from Kuoh Town, sir." The angel reported to him.

"Yes, come in,"

The angel then came in and informed him about what had happened.

"So, it seems that the blue-haired boy summoned an entity, called himself Ba'al Haddad sir."

"Ba'al? It seems that the demon Beelzebub has returned,"

"No sir, our scout has confirmed that his physical feature doesn't match what Beelzebub looked like,"

"Tell me more,"

"He also said that he had given Father a chance to rule together, and said that Father had betrayed him and left him for dead,"

Michael smashed his table and said,

"That's blasphemy! Father would never do such a thing!"

Words cannot describe how angry he felt. He had never seen such blasphemy in his life. His Father was compared to a common criminal who kills and takes. Michael was having none of that.

"Take me to this boy right now!"

"But sir, doing that would mean-"

"Now!"

"Right away, sir" the angel then left and left Michael Alone.

He missed his Father, and his grieve may play in the irrational decision that he made. But he's not Father, and deep down, Michael knew that he's not worthy to rule heaven.

-Line Break-

After Ba'al killed Dohnaseek, Nao and Issei were sitting on a bench at the park where Raynare killed Issei—taking their breath after the whole fiasco.

"Whew.. that was scary. I totally wasn't expecting that," Issei said, catching his breath.

Nao didn't look so tired. He was used to this. While Issei had never in his life fought for survival, Nao wasn't all that lucky.

"Kiyoyama-senpai, that was totally, really cool!" Issei exclaimed

Nao didn't respond

"Anyways, thank you for saving me. I might have died if it wasn't for you,"

"It's fine…."

"What was that power? And why were you in a blue tokusatsu suit? Watching you fight was like Featherman Ranger X! Just like when the hero was about to lose and then-"

"I get it! I get it!" Nao cut

"Also, what were you doing at this hour? Aren't you supposed to be busy studying or something? I see that you're always busy reading your notes." Issei asked

"I was going home from work. What about you?"

"Well, I was watching porn, of course, just like a boy naturally does at my age!"

"Excuse me?!"

"Yes! I was watching porn. What else would I do?"

"Ah… a pervert,"

"Yes! I am a proud pervert! I like boobs, all of them! Whether big or small, perky or not, I like them all! Especially Gremory-senpai's boobs!"

Maybe I shouldn't have saved him…. Nao thought

While Issei was explaining Boobs, Nao began to regret saving Issei's life. Sure, some of his demons were massive perverts, but it had never escalated like this.

Incubus would only comment once or twice about female body parts

Succubus would joke about "take his innocence."

Cleopatra. Well, the first time he defeated her, she did grab his head and put it on her boobs and thanked him for a few minutes when he stopped Cleopatra's suicide attempt.

"So uh Issei, how are you feeling? Did you get injured?" Nao asked

Issei looked dumbfounded. He wasn't expecting that. The transfer student who had saved his life was asking him? Wasn't it him that needs to worry about Nao? Nao single-handedly killed a fallen angel.

"I'm fine.. and aren't I the one ought to ask?

"I'm fine. He barely made a scratch on me," he said rhetorically

Wow, this guy must've been strong, and I'm so weak and pathetic. If only I could do something about it, Kiyoyama-senpai wouldn't have to rescue my sorry ass twice, Issei thought. Issei was now feeling miserable. He didn't have enough strength to protect himself. He always needed others to help him,

Both sat on the bench quietly, Issei didn't dare to speak, and Nao didn't have anything more to say. But suddenly, the quietness was broken by a surprisingly familiar voice.

"Long time no see. Did you miss me, Nahobino-san?" the female voice said as she laughed seductively. Nao was all too familiar with that voice. That voice belonged to her. The one who had pleaded with him to make a new world without demons helped him achieve his true goal.

Nuwa?

Both of them turned their heads to the speaker. She was wearing a red Chinese dress, while her hair was tied neatly using her golden ornament.

"Nuwa? Is.. Is t-that y-you?" Nao asked.

"Kiyoyama-senpai, do you know this woman? She looks like a total babe!" blurted Issei.

This pervert, I'll beat his ass someday if he keeps this up!

"Yes, it's me. How have you been? Haven't seen you since that faithful day," Nuwa asked.

"I've been through hell, literally. I'm fine, I guess," replied Nao.

"You're hurting."

"And how do you know that? You weren't here! How did you know what I was feeling in these past few months?" Nao asked bitterly. He could not contain his fury when he said that. He was tired of all the bullshit that life had thrown at him.

"Nao, I know-"

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW?! IT WAS YOUR IDEA TO DESTROY THE THRONE! IT WAS YOUR IDEA TO CREATE A WORLD DESOLATE OF DEMONS AND ANGELS! IT WAS YOUR-"

Nuwa had had enough, and she decided to slap his cheeks.

"I know that you must've been angry at me, but it's not justified. I had no intention of stranding you here!" Nuwa said discontentedly

"Then what was your intention?" he asked Nuwa; venom was still in his words.

"Look, when you killed Lucifer, he said that the cycle of Mandala was supposed to end, right?" Nuwa asked.

Nao nodded his head, and Nuwa continued.

"Turns out, someone deliberately pulled us here. It would have never been supposed to happen. I spent these few months trying to find out who or what was it, but so far, I had no luck." Nuwa explained.

"Great, we're both stuck here, with no way to get back," Nao sighed

"But I did gather some knowledge on my journey these past few months," she said

Nao wasn't interested in the slightest, but he still asked

"What did you find, Nuwa?"

"Sacred Gears," she replied smugly. Nuwa knew that Nao had some interest in Sacred Gear.

"Sacred Gears?!" both Issei and Nao asked shockingly.

Nao had to admit he wanted to know more about Sacred Gears, but his actions earlier must have rubbed her the wrong way, so Nao didn't ask.

"Ano…Nuwa-san, What's a Sacred Gear? I swear I've heard that Amano Yuuma and that fallen angel earlier wanted something that I have, and it was this Sacred Gear thing." Issei asked shamelessly

"Sacred Gears, they were given by the God of Creation to ensure humanity's survival against the supernatural. It was a way for Him to enact miracles, and most that have sacred gear will turn out to be really powerful. They, however, will not surpass the true power of a Nahobino," Nuwa snidely remarked.

"Can I ask something again, Nuwa-san?"

"Sure, go ahead,"

"Is Kiyoyama-senpai a Nahobino then? Because he's like really cool and really strong, he took the fallen with ease. I wish I could have powers like him!" Issei asked with a fire in his eyes. Issei knew in his heart that if he wanted to survive this world, he would need crazy amounts of power.

And his goals to make a harem and become the "Harem King."

If he has that amount of power, then he'd surely make a harem, right? With that power, he can finally get girls just like Nao with Rias and Akeno. He'd surely be able to achieve his goal-

"You can't," she answered

"Wha-" Issei deadpanned

No… my dreams of becoming the harem king… Issei thought. Now he can't get stronger, and he surely can't get the girls that he had been dreaming of.

Ku… damn you, bishonen, and your superpowers…

"Ara-ara, what do we have here?" another female voice broke their conversation.

It was Himejima Akeno with Rias Gremory walking beside her

"Issei-kun, Nao-kun, it's nice to see you guys again. What are you doing this late?"

"Rias-senpai,"

"Demons, all of them," Nuwa growled. Her hatred of demons was very apparent when she roamed Da'at with Yakumo. She hated all of them.

Nuwa was about to attack them, but she stopped when Nao grabbed her arm—trying not to cause a scene.

"Calm down, Nuwa,"

"How can I be calm? They're demons, and we-"

He shook his head, telling her to stop

"Calm down, Nuwa. They're not like them. They're a bit different than the ones at Da'at,"

"It seems that your friend has the wrong assumption about us demons, yes we are demons, but we don't eat children's heads or make human sacrifices anymore. That was propaganda from the church." Rias interrupted

Nuwa started to calm down and began to think level-headedly again.

Good, we don't want Nuwa to actually be in a fit of rage and accidentally kill all of them. If that happens, we'll be having a bad time fighting against the underworld society, and I'm not looking forward to doing that. Nao thought

"What are you doing here, Gremory-san?" Nao asked

"Mou… I told you to call me Rias!"

"For the last time, No."

"Fufufufu, it seems that our buchou's love has been swiftly declined Nao-kun again. If this keeps up, I wonder how long it will buchou last before she breaks. You should know that breaking a girl's heart is a cruel thing, Nao-kun," Akeno said while chuckling. Rias was too easy.

"Buchou's love? Kiyoyama-senpai? So it's true! You guys are-"

Before Issei finished his words, Nao put his hand on Issei's mouth.

"Why do you try to deny our love Nao-kun? Breaking my heart like this," Rias jokingly cried.

Nao had had enough. He needed to clear this misunderstanding.

"Rias, we didn't do-"

"You called me Rias,"

"No, I didn't, Gremory-san,"

"Mou… Gremory-san again? I thought we've made progress."

"Kiyoyama-senpai.." Issei quietly said, breaking their bantering

"What is it?" Nao asked back

"Teach me the way, sensei!"

"Huh?" Nao gasped

"Teach me the way, sensei! Teach me the way to become the Harem King!"

"Issei, calm down. You're not making any sense," said Nao, trying to calm his underclassman down.

"How can I calm down? You came out one day, and now you're dating Gremory-senpai!"

"Wait, I'm not-"

"What do you mean you're not dating. Gremory-senpai told us herself, didn't she?"

"While you kids are bantering, I have to go now." Nuwa interrupted them.

"Where are you going? I thought you'd gotten everything you need to know about this world? Don't you want to stay here?" Nao asked

"No… not yet, Yesterday I got an offer from the Khaos Brigade. They said they needed people like me. Because I declined, I have been avoiding them, and I'm trying to get more info about The Great Dragon Gods because here, dragons rule everything." Nuwa answered.

"The Great Dragon Gods? Who are they?"

"My knowledge is minimal, but I think there are three strongest ones. The dragons are The Great Red, Ophis, and Trixeha or 666."

"He.. you seem to have done your homework Nuwa-san, unlike our Nao-kun here," Rias chuckled.

"To be fair, I did try to live in peace because I was certain that I've created a world without Demons…." Nao retorted

"The talk about "Creating a world without demons" again… I told you Nao-kun, we're very much real!" Rias said while pouting

Cute… Nao thought

"Well, I'm off. See you later, kids." Nuwa said as she bid her goodbye and left

After Nuwa left, Issei, Nao, Rias, and Akeno were the only ones left in the park.

"Issei-kun, meet me tomorrow, and you Nao-kun, don't run from me again, okay," Rias said as she bid her farewell and left, with Akeno following suit.

"Come on, Issei, I'll walk you home," Nao offered

"Ah yeah… I'm coming. I'm coming,"

-Line Break-

The road to Issei's house was relatively quiet, with issei asking some questions here and there, but it was mostly quiet, just like how Nao liked it to be.

They finally arrived at Issei's house. It was a relatively normal-looking western house with the "Hyoudou" written on the gates.

"Well, here's my stop. I guess I have to thank you again for today. I couldn't have lived another day if it hadn't been for your help," Issei chuckled a bit.

Nao didn't say anything, but he just nodded.

"See you tomorrow, Kiyoyama-senpai! It turns out not all bishonen are bad. You're pretty decent because you saved my life," Issei said as he opened his gates and got inside his house.

"Even though I saved your life," Nao murmured quietly to no one in particular.

After that, he left Issei's home and quietly walked back to his house.

-line break-

The next day, with the other fallen angel incident fresh in his mind, Issei really didn't want to go to school. He wanted to laze around and watch some porn today. But his mother scolded him and poured cold water on his bed when he didn't wake up.

"Ah… Today is the worst.." Issei said as he lazily walked to school

Issei wasn't paying attention, and he accidentally collided with someone.

It was a girl, she had blonde hair, and she was wearing a nun habit.

She's so cute…..

There it is, a new chapter for you guys. Not gonna lie. I had a hard time writing this one cause I didn't know what to write in this chapter. I hope you guys enjoy it, though.

And wow, 800 views in just a few days, I can't say I'm not surprised. When I first wrote this, I thought I would have maybe around 200 views or so...

Now it's time for me to answer some reviews.

Jay: You need to wait and see, the thought did cross my mind, but I'm not telling.

Guest: Don't worry, our femboy here is not a pushover

Guest: Yeah, in SMT V, the Nahobino haven't seen Lucifer's human form yet, and with emotions clouding his judgment, you get the point.

Hdulfikar: Sorry that the story didn't satisfy you, mate.
