Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

DocSlendy; Thanks for the vote! Yeah, it would be funny, huh~?

Web11211; That's me alright~ But thank you!

Harem Master123; Thank you! Glad that you like it! Hehe, Sona's peerage can have a wacky side to them too. No, Mittelt isn't dead, she teleported away just before she was attacked again. Not just that, he's going to have more things like that too. Well, Tsubaki might do, she is a little indifferent to him now though. Cool, thanks for the vote! You can do, but it is Tiamat, so it would be difficult to convince her, though there are some ideas I do have. Cool, thanks for the suggestions!

Nivek Beldo; He surely is, if only it being a little rocky. Hehe, Serafall didn't explain something like that, maybe she just wanted to get into bed naked with him or something like that. Yup, Yumi is giving him the much needed emotional support that he needs right now, and it does help him immensely. He doesn't want to lie to her, Lucy is his best friend after all. You're not wrong there, Sona already sees him as little more than a younger brother, she even says something like that in the later LN's, and Tomoe...how very scary she is with her, ways. Hmmm, cool choice. The reason why Makoto chose Vegata is because, in canon, Ise chose Goku, so I thought it would be a cool contrast between the two of them, always on level with one another, but in different ways, if that makes sense. That's how I imagine Sona doing things anyway, giving out homework, and other things too. You're right, Millicas is going to help him in different ways to Yumi, and will also become important to Makoto in the future. Well, they aren't strangers, but it was only one piece, so Koneko can give that out, but no more. And exactly, Makoto will call out stuff like that if he thinks it is wrong. Well, Millicas is even stronger than Rias, considering different factors. Yup, his Sacred Gear is going to be, quite good I would say. Well, thanks for your input regarding that. Cool, thanks for the vote! Oh, when I get the chance, though I'm not really a Ben 10 fan myself.

Tohka123; Aah, thank you! You're not wrong there, since he was told she was his master, and now has departed, he's pretty much on his own, and can't really trust many people yet, even Sona too. They are quite cute together, aren't they? Don't worry about Lucy, she'll get a good ending for her. The student council, so many opportunities so little time. Sona, probably is gonna be yeah. Indeed, it is gonna be something to be amazed to see! Koneko could see that he was in a state, so wished to help out, and they somewhat are friends, aren't they? Yup, that's gonna set up their friendship, and eventual relationship with one another. Just wait until the end of the arc, you'll see how pissed Makoto can get when someone wants to hurt Ise. Aah, thanks for the vote! And yeah, I'd rather finish it all off and then release it as normal, than anything else and just redo the ones already out. And I will try my best!

Blue Eyes Pendulum Dragon; You're right, he won't trust so easily, he can't do something like that. Cool, thanks for the vote! In the beginning, I'd say that Ise just had a one tracked mind, which is to be expected since he was a normal human, and while Makoto was normal too, he has different priorities, and is quite smart too. Well, I can't answer that question yet~ It would be funny huh. And yeah, I'd say he is a mix of that.

hellspam; Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed it! Tiamat seems to be quite the popular choice. And that's a cool suggestion, thanks! Kunou would be pretty cool, also would give him a connection to Kyoto too. And that does sound pretty cool, not gonna lie. Cool harem suggestions!

Anime PJ; You're not wrong, I was surprised too. Hehe, thank you~ Yeah, Yumi is pretty much his emotional support right now. With Serafall gone, and Sona being, well, Sona, Yumi's there to fill in for that aspect of his life, and give him something to hold onto until he's ready to move on for himself, which will be shown as the chapters go on. Don't worry about that, there is gonna be a conclusion to that sooner or later. Definitely by the end of the arc anyway. Tomoe...ooh, Saji really needs to keep his mouth shut, or Shotacon mode is going to be activated, and that's not a pretty sight either. Glad you enjoyed it~ Millicas is gonna be important to his development too. No worries, Akeno, I haven't decided where would be better yet, but she could go either way right now. Sona probably is gonna go with Makoto, just more compatible than her and Ise. Kalawarner, she's a high possibility, and Ophis...she is quite funny when she wants to be. Here's next time!

Justin D; Thank you! Yeah, it is gonna evolve with Makoto's thoughts, desires, things like that. Something different, it is gonna be different, but something cool at the same time. Don't worry about Diodora, he's gonna be messed up in this story too. Akeno and Makoto, I could see them developing something together. Hehe, that would actually be quite cute to see her doing something like that. And I will try!

Ragna; Cool harem suggestions! Yeah, you're right there. Cool, I might just do that~

Guest 1; Cool, thanks for voting!

Isaiah; No worries, thanks for suggesting regardless!

Guest 2; Ophis can be adorable like Koneko, but different to Koneko all the same. Asia, she'll probably be in Makoto's class. She'd want to stay near Makoto after all, and it wouldn't bother Asia really. It would probably be the same as canon, if Ise was in the first year too, she'd probably go there too. Regardless, Makoto is gonna be very protective, especially around the likes of Kiryuu, and Ise's perverted friends. Cool, thanks for voting! Hehe, that would be very cute to say the least~

UsagiAngelRabbit; Thanks! Princess is gonna be appearing more in the future. Well, Yumi and Yuuto are the same person, just genderbent. And yeah, possibly in the future.

dxd; Cool, thanks for voting! That would be a pretty cool peerage, though Asia's gonna be one of his Bishop's in the future. Cool harem suggestions!

Allan Von'Skoon; No worries! You've got a point there, though Makoto isn't exactly in the right mindset for such things right now. Sona loves giving out her homework, she's gonna be giving out some more in the future. That's how Sona is, quite concise, and to the point. Saji will have to learn to keep a lid on it, if Tomoe is around anyway. Saji, I could accept as much as Ise, though with what he says in vol three when they are in the cafe, implies things that really shouldn't be implied, so that turned me off his character, though I don't downright hate him or anything since he does have some cool moments. Tomoe, she very well could be comic relief, if she turns up some antics in the future. Sona and Makoto will continue having interactions throughout this first part of the story, and then more in the future~ Hehe, she is a pretty cute, yet down to earth type person who will stand up for what she believes in, even if defying others too. I'm glad you liked it, Makoto isn't going to get over it instantly, but he will learn as the story goes that he can't always have that mindset, therefore some character development too. Lucy is quite good at hiding it, for now anyway. Gotta keep that to myself for now, anyway. Cool, thanks for the vote! Tiamat seems to be popular, though Kunou is getting some love too. For the harem things you said, I have to agree with the Koneko, and Sona ones. Rossweisse too, since Koneko just...kinda turned to like him when she despised perverts beforehand. I could see friends for what he did for her, but love was a stretch for me. Rossweisse practically has no development till vol 17, and even then, it seems a little weird to me why she fell for him. Sona, I just don't see it personally. While for Rias, I can agree to that for the most part, I could see why she'd like him, even without that incident happening, so that can pass for me personally. As for Ise and Asia...well, people do like it, I personally don't really. Not just for my love for Asia as a character, it just doesn't work for me personally. Makoto is gonna be doing a lot of things during this arc to win Asia's affections, though not really for that reason, just because he wants to keep her safe. Indeed, I am still writing that story~ Should be out soon enough~

Guest 3; That was actually something how I was imagining Makoto's future peerage, looks good to me!

Guest 4; Cool, thanks for the vote!

Guest 5; Hehe, Asia doing that would be funny. I could even see Asai doing that. God yeah, don't mess with Serafall if something that like that was going to happen. Irina panicking would be quite funny to see, and it would be totally in character for her to do something like that too. Hmmm, that's an interesting idea, and something that I have been thinking about too. Ravel, I haven't decided if she's gonna be with Makoto or Ise yet. As for the other suggestions, thanks! Rossweisse is definitely gonna be with Makoto.

ShadowUzumaki55; Yeah, he's slowly able to accept his life. But he does have some good support around him, like Yumi, Lucy, Millicas, and Serafall in her own way. Don't worry, Lucy is gonna learn about it sooner or later. Saji needs to learn to not be like that, doesn't he? Especially with Tomoe around, she's a very scary woman when she's got her shota with her. If you feel for him now, wait until later on, it is going to be very...well, it will be shown in the future~ Cool, thanks for the vote! Yeah, it could be something that they share, two Dragon Kings on Makoto's future team. Cool harem suggestions~

Guest 6; Cool, those would be cool. The peerage, future that is, doesn't look half bad. At least some of them are gonna be on his future peerage like Asia, Yumi probably, and some others. Chelia is going to provide a roll, but I can't say what that roll is just yet, it isn't something that I can talk about just yet, don't wanna ruin it and all that.

Absolute Mirage; Thank you! Sona did seem like that, and might seem a little more in the coming chapters, but there is a reason for that too. Yeah, it is gonna be something alright~ I cannot deny something like that~ Cool, thanks for the vote! That indeed could be quite great~ And I'll try!

Guest 7; Eventually, I will be doing yeah~

ShadeAkami; Yeah! Switching over is good too~ He is slowly coming to term yeah, and Ise gives him a big help this chapter among other people. She had to leave, or this arc, the way I want it to go, wouldn't be able to happen, but she'll be getting her very close bonding time when she comes back into the story. Hehe, I loled at perSONA thing. He indeed has Millicas by his side, that's gonna play a part in it, in the future. His Sacred Gear isn't going to be weak, let's say that for now. I can't say much more, or it would give the ideas I have for it away. He's at least part human, let's say that~ It always seemed to baffle me why she did what she did in canon, so I came up with an excuse for why she did what she did, even if it was a little weak, it still got the job done. You've got a point, and that's a question Makoto is gonna be asking himself in the future too. It's a dilemma for him, and even this chapter Lucy calls him out on it, but in a kind way, and shows her affectionate side too. I wouldn't say his relationship with her is breaking, and Lucy doesn't see it like that either, as evident by what happens in this chapter. Hehe~ We surely did~ In a roundabout way, that does make sense. But either way, Kuroka is gonna be with him~ Yeah, I do agree with your points there, and Tiamat could provide something like that for him. Well, I can't reveal what piece is yet, but I am sure that with the clues placed around this chapter, and the coming ones before it is revealed, it is pretty obvious which piece he is. And yeah, it would be fun. Especially due to Kunou being a Princess, and Makoto being...well, who he is, it would bring some interesting dynamics. Eeh, I'd say that Grayfia probably is yeah. And those are some cool suggestions! And thank you!

Skull Flame; She is quite brutal, isn't she? She can be when she wants to be. Indeed, he's got Millicas to support him. Koneko at least can tolerate Makoto a lot more than Ise, due to knowing him more. Mittelt had a small cameo last chapter, and next chapter she'll appear too. Tomoe's very scary...and is Kiyome too. As shown in this chapter. Ah, okay~ No worries~ And thank you!

Bael; Thanks! Cool suggestions! And yeah, though Asia already has Twilight Healing, she is gonna be Makoto's healer of the future team. But the others look good too.

With those lovely reviews out of the way, it is time to start the chapter!


Life just gets complicated!

"So, let me get this straight…" A voice came from a darkened hall with two others standing. One being small, and the other being moderate height, facing the final person who held annoyance in the voice. "You, not only let him die, when I gave specific orders that he should live, but you've also allowed him to go on a date, too?"

The pair that the taller talked to cringed, and looked at one another.

"E-Excuse me, but I did everything I could. I didn't even know what to do, I can't control him or anything. If he does or doesn't go on a date, that's not my fault…b-but the dying thing…y-yeah, kinda dropped the ball there…should've followed after him huh…"

The smallest one just held a regretful face.

The middle sized one giggled nervously, under the gaze of the tallest one.

"Don't look at me, I did my job."

"You just sit around all day, doing nothing. Oooh look at me, I have nothing to do, even though I have my tasks ready and set, so I will just laze around all day like I usually do, because I'm an annoying idiot that cannot do anything for myself…and that's all you do."

The smallest one had a scrutinizing gaze upon the middle sized one, who snapped eyes right back at the short one.

"Tch, you're not pinning this on me. I won't have something like that happening to me. I am beautiful, and you are average. I won't have you bully me."

"I'm not bullying you! I'm doing my job!"

"Apparently not good enough bat bitch."

The smallest one tightened their fist so tight that their knuckles turned white.

"Don't speak to me like that. I am doing my best here, but what do you want me to do? Stalk him all day? He is a person too, and now that he's with the Devils….uuu, I don't know what's going to happen now…I should've become involved with this sooner…and now he's a Devil huh…I feel saddened by this…I am sorry, I didn't think that this would happen…I mean, he was with Rias Gremory's Knight, I thought she would be able to handle it…clearly, I wasn't on the ball there, and because of that, Makoto-kun managed to lose his life, and become a Devil…and also, he had to kill someone too…that was regretful…"

"Yeah, it really is all your fault."

The smallest one held a dark glare for the middle one, while the tallest just looked on with unamused eyes.

"It isn't my fault just! You did something's too…no, you didn't do anything at all, actually. You weren't even around when this happened. What the heck where you doing when this all went down, huh?"

"I was watching Steps new video, you know, Dark something or other!? I was enjoying myself! I don't get to do that often! I'm sorry, I have feelings unlike you, who just looks at this like a nothing but a husk!"

"I have feelings! I want to protect Makoto-kun too! I didn't mean for that to happen! I didn't know what to do, I wasn't able to save him, and it is my fault! Don't you think that I know that stupid!? I wasn't able to protect Makoto-kun, and he died, and now is a Devil!"

The middle tall one just looked on with a sorrowful expression on her face.

The tallest one just released a sigh.

"Fine, he's a Devil now. Means he's gonna live for a long time…I suppose this would be to my advantage too. Alright, I think that this would be a good thing. Though, I don't like that he had to die…well, he'll just have to become stronger."

Both of them looked towards the tallest one with unsure eyes.

"What does that mean for us, exactly? Are we pulled off this now? Because I like my current life~ I get fed and everything, and I don't have to do much."

"That's why he died in the first place."

Muttering that out, the smallest one gave a dirty stare, the middle one giving one right back. Sparks went between the two of them, while the person who was the tallest, just rolled their eyes at the antics between the two of them.

"New mission, you're going to support him no matter what, understood? You'll both support him in ways that I currently cannot do. Besides, he's got to become stronger. One will continue doing their usual duties, and the other will reveal themselves soon. Though not with our connection, understood?"

"Y-Yes…"

"Yes~ Got it~"

The pair of them answered with a timid smile on one, and a mischievous smile on the other one.


After last night, Makoto was convinced on what he had to do now…

He had to become stronger.

Seeing how Millicas beat the Fallen Angel with minimal effort, he wanted to become stronger anyway that he possibly could. He didn't know much about being a Devil, not that he cared either. He wanted to become stronger, and if that meant fighting to become stronger, then that's what he was going to do.

"Nyaaaa~"

The cat on Makoto's chest swayed its tail left and right, and had a face on that displayed adorableness to his senses. Even his eyes couldn't deny that the cat was very cute, and so while he was sleeping in bed, he used his pinky finger to scratch behind her ear, sending calming waves into her body, and into his own too.

"You're a cute little kitty aren't you, Princess?"

"Nyaaaaa~"

The cat answered his call with a meowing sound, and then nuzzled Makoto's face once moving up his body. Makoto smiled at the cats nuzzling cheek against his own cheek. Makoto's hand rasped on the back of the cats head, and then behind her ear, knowing that she loved being scratched behind her ear.

"Ise! Wake-up! It's already time for school!"

"Okaa-san, is Ise still in his room?"

"Otou-san, his shoes are in the entrance so he came home. Geez! Staying at a friend's house so late! On top of that, being late for school! That, I won't forgive!"

The conversation between Makoto's parents on the first floor can even be heard up there. From the sounds of it, it sounded like they weren't concerned that Makoto was going to be late, or they might have guessed that he was already awakened.

Then it was followed by footsteps coming up the stairs. The footsteps carried the sound of anger. It's different from, what Makoto guessed, to be his Mother's usual footsteps.

Deciding that he needed to get up too, he rose from the bed while holding the kitty cat in his arms. Makoto strode over to the closet, and took out some clothes, throwing them on the bed. Then, he placed the cat on the bed who dutifully sat down, and her eyes watched Makoto carefully as he rose his hands upwards, taking off his shirt that he wore to bed.

As he did, he couldn't help notice that the cat was…staring more than it should be aware of.

Almost, it was like the cat was entranced because of Makoto himself.

When the shirt was discarded, Makoto felt slightly uncomfortable with the eyes of the cat on his form, and was hesitant to take off his pants.

"Princess, why are you staring at me like that?"

"Nyaaaaa…"

Makoto almost became flabbergasted as the cat licked her lips sensually…that's what he thought anyway.

Makoto felt uncomfortable, so he placed the cat outside of his room, and closed the door before the cat could come inside again, though it did try desperately, even meowing at the door, which did make Makoto feel bad, but he was unusually uncomfortable with her weird staring's this morning.

"…GET READY QUICKLY."

While using a machine like voice, Makoto heard Ise's door being violently closed. The voice, belonged to Makoto's Mother, he knew that. But she seemed, to be distressed about something.

After a moment, Makoto heard the loud noise of her feet heading down the stairs.

"O,O,O,O,Oooooo! Otou-san!"

She sounded distressed, more so than before. Makoto perked his ears as he finished getting ready for the day.

"What's wrong Okaa-san? You look like you just saw a ghost? Was Ise doing something perverted in the morning again?"

"Seeeeeeee, sexxxxxxxxxx! Ise did! With a foreigner~!"

"What!? O-Okaa-san!? Okaa-san, what happened!?"

"Internationaaaal~! Ise did!"

"Okaa-san!? Okaa-san!? Calm down! Okaa-saaaaan!"

The shouting's came on and on, back and forth between Mother and Father, Makoto was left shell shocked by what he had just heard before…it really was something that he didn't think that he would ever hear coming out of his parents mouths when regards to Ise.

"S-Sex with a foreigner…wh-who did he have sex with!? It couldn't of been Amano-san, right!? That's not right, but if not her…w-who did he have sex with?! D-Did he…ooh no, he didn't finally snap from overwhelming sexual desires and has hired a prostitute!? That's not right, Onii-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!"

He rushed out of the door because he just couldn't keep away, needing to know what had happened with Ise, and some foreigner and what could happen in the future with that person too, and rushed next door to Ise's room.

Once getting there, he saw…

"NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH! THIS FUCKING CAT IS ATTACKING ME! ISE, PLEASE HELP ME! THIS THING IS TRYING TO KILL ME! WHY IS IT ATTACKING ME!?"

"GET OFF HER YOU STUPID FUCKING CAT!"

What he saw was very scary.

He saw Rias, naked, which was a very good treat for the eyes, running around with Princess biting her breast, and Ise was chasing after her. Rias tried to hit off Princess, but she wasn't letting go of her breast, apparently in a frenzy.

"HELP! I ONLY WENT TO STROKE THIS STUPID CAT, AND IT WANTS ME DEAD!? WHY DOES IT WANT ME DEAD!? I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO YOU, YOU STUPID UGLY CAT! WAAAAAH! PLEASE GET IT OFF ME!"

Rias could feel it…

The intense pain accompanied by the cats teeth in her breast.

It wasn't drawing blood, but it did sink in deep. Rias sobbed, howling as the cat hung from her breast. She swung her body left and right, trying to get the cat off her breast, but it wouldn't release itself. She even tried to bat it off her breast, but the cat wouldn't get off the breast that she had.

"MAKOTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! PLEASE GET YOUR CAT OFF HER BOOBS! THEY CAN'T BE BITTEN BY ANYONE OTHER THAN MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! THAT'S NOT FAIR AT ALLLLLLLLLLL! THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT PRINCESSSS CAN DOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Ise screeched as he tried to pry off the cat from Rias' breast. But the cat slashed at him with her claws, catching his hand, causing him to pull his hand back with a flinching and twitching eyebrows, even a hiss escaping his mouth.

Makoto sighed openly, and clapped his hands together.

"Princess, please come here."

Like a sudden change happening, Princess dropped her teeth from her breast, and huffed as she walked towards Makoto. Once making it, the cat brushed against his leg as she began shedding tears, Rias that was due to what just happened, cupping her own breast as she slunk to the floor.

"Nyaaaaaa~"

Makoto lifted the cat upwards and held her in his arms as Rias pointed forward with a shaky hand.

"W-Why did she attack me…? I didn't do anything to her…a-and she went mental, insane, having a breakdown or something, and attacked me for no reason. I didn't do anything to her. I just petted her head, and she lost her shit, and came after me because, even I don't know why that happened."

Makoto averted his eyes from the naked Rias, having a luminescent blush on his cheeks.

"I-I am sorry, I didn't think that she would do something like this. I think she might just be unhappy or something…b-by the way, why are you in Onii-chan's room anyway? Y-You and he didn't end up doing the…horizontal monster mash, right?"

Makoto didn't know how to put it, he was honestly lost, and wasn't sure what he was going to do now.

"No! We didn't do anything! T-Though I would…" Rias gave Ise a dry look as she smacked her lips together, giving even Makoto mixed messages on what her intentions where as he heard her lips smacking together, never looking towards her. "S-Sorry! I just erm…y-you woke up in bed with me, and I was…w-wait, what happened last night? You were saying that something happened to me?"

Makoto took interest in this, and listened keenly without looking.

Rias, while still cupping her breast in agony, got off the ground, and sat on the bed.

"Ise, you were stabbed yesterday, by a spear of light."

"Rias-senpai! I told you to do something sooner!"

Makoto yelled from the door, not looking to see her reactions.

He was angry at her right now. Now knowing that he did get attacked again, he wasn't happy. It was HIS elder brother after all. He wasn't going to stop if the boy he called elder brother was going to be in danger.

"It wasn't like I knew it was going to happen." Rias defended weakly as Ise looked confused between the pair of them. "I just happened to come across him, and saw what happened. It was a Fallen Angel, no big surprise, stabbed your Onii-sama through the stomach, and ended up hurting him a lot. Because he is a Devil-"

"Wait, I'm a Devil!?"

Makoto was even more shocked that she hadn't even told him yet. Serafall told him when they basically woke up together, sort of anyway. He didn't believe it, and still didn't like it, but it was shocking that she didn't say anything yet.

Rias turned her eyes towards Ise, and nodded her head dryly.

"That's right, you've become a Devil. Now is a good chance, I will just say it directly, Ise. May I call you that by the way?" Ise just nodded his head, confused on what was going on. "Now, Ise. You are a Devil, that was injured by the spear of light. I healed it. It was critical, but thanks to your tough body, it was healable with my power in a night. I shared some of my demonic powers with you by embracing you while we were naked. I was able to do it because we are from the same clan, though if you weren't, I could still do it, it would've just been longer."

Even Makoto didn't know that she could do something like that.

That would also explain something like that would happen, them being in bed together, and naked too. Though, it seemed a little personal to get into bed naked to heal. Surely, there was a way to heal someone that didn't require being naked.

However, he also had a flashback of Serafall being in his bed too, while naked too. That, could explain why she did that, but also there was the same thing that he was brought back from the dead as a Devil.

When snapping out of his thoughts, he saw Ise right in his face with a hard stare.

"W-What are you doing Onii-chan?"

Makoto backed away as Ise poked him in the chest.

"You seem to know what she's talking about, about Devils, and stuff like that. What's going on Makoto? How do you know too?"

This is why he wanted Rias to tell him earlier, so he could avoid awkward topics like this.

"…It's complicated. I would need some time to tell you about it…my life for the past few days haven't been a highlight. Actually, they've been very difficult, I find it difficult in knowing what I am supposed to do now. I will talk about it later on."

"W-Wha…eeeh, if that's how it is…"

"Sorry Onii-chan, I will catch up with you later on."

Makoto bowed his head, and walked away with the cat in his arms. He had some thoughts about what Makoto and Ise were doing now. Since Ise knew he was a Devil, he had someone talking too. Though, he did wonder what he was going to do when he learned that Makoto and Ise were in the same boat.


At breakfast, Makoto sat on a chair next to Mrs Hyoudou. Mr Hyoudou was sat next to her, and Rias was sat together with Ise. While Makoto had Princess on the table, right in front of him, it practically was resting its head on his arm…no, it was resting its head on his arm.

Rias had dark eyes for the cat, and so did Ise. Mrs Hyoudou seemed fine with Princess. But Mr Hyoudou had similar feelings as his eldest, and the redheaded girl, all giving the cat dark glares as she wagged her tail cutely.

"These are very delicious, Okaa-sama."

Rias said as she took a bite of her toast, something quite surprisingly being able to fit in so easily with them.

"Y-Yeah. T-Thank you very much."

Rias nodded at Mrs Hyoudou who answered her.

Makoto and Ise shared a look, clearly feeling the intense atmosphere that was in the air right now. Makoto didn't even blame the atmosphere either, it made sense as to why it would have such an intense one, since Ise did wake up with Rias, naked in his bed.

"I wonder if Kaa-chan or Tou-chan says anything about babies? They had given up since Ise-nii would always scare the girls away, and I'm not their biological son…but now, it seems like they might get their wish after all~"

Makoto sang in his thoughts while he scratched the back of Princess' left ear.

The cat purred at the scratching, which made Rias feel scared oddly.

She looked at the cat, who stared right back at her mischievously, and parted her cat lips. The cat stared right up at the girl, and winked. Rias gasped, and looked away, sure that the cat knew something about her, and wasn't a normal cat.

Trying to change the subject, Rias glanced towards Ise.

"Ise, it's the meal that Okaa-sama made. Eat it."

Rias says it with elegance. She's acting like an older sister. Honestly, it seemed like that to Makoto too. He was just glad that it wasn't directed towards him.

"Y-Yes!"

Ise replied quickly and started to throw the food into his mouth.

Rias showed a dissatisfied face, putting her hand into her school girls pocket, and brought out a handkerchief.

"Don't eat it in such a vulgar way. Eat slowly so you can taste the food. This is the precious food that Okaa-sama made for us."

Rias wipes his mouth with her handkerchief.

Makoto had to admire Rias right now…or be fearful of her.

Just something about how she was acting was amazing, and scary at the same time.

She then turned towards Makoto, and saw how he was eating, and smiled.

"Seems like you're quite calm right now."

"I am screaming inside right now."

Makoto admitted, but Rias just giggled to herself.

"Fufufu, maybe it is something like that." She looked towards Princess, and glared. "And your cat, you need to calm down." Rias scolded the cat who lifted her head, showing her glares. "S-Shit!" Rias backed away, frightened of Princess. As soon as she saw that, Princess backed down as Rias thought to herself. "W-What is wrong with this fucking cat? Why am I frightened of her? And why does she seem to have a vendetta against me? I haven't done anything to her…I wish she would disappear forever and ever. Stupid cat even bit my breast…that's not for a stupid pussy like this bitch…"

Makoto felt like Rias was thinking something bad about Princess by the way that she was glaring at the cat, so Makoto brought Princess to his head, and allowed her to rest there. It didn't exactly fix Rias' fear, nor Ise's, nor Mr Hyoudou's either.

They all looked frightened of the cat, and looked like they were going to keel over with fear from just the cats intense eyes.

While that happened, Mr Hyoudou took a glance at Rias who was still giving the cat darkened glares.

"I-Ise…" Mr Hyoudou spoke to Ise with a trembling voice. He looked quite nervous, a look shared with Ise too. "W-Where did this lady c-come from?"

After hearing that, Rias put her chopstick down and bows her head.

"…Oh my, I apologise for not introducing myself… I brought shame to the House of Gremory. Please allow me to introduce myself. Okaa-sama and Otou-sama, my name is Rias Gremory. I attend the same Academy as Hyoudou Issei-kun. It's a pleasure to meet you all. And on a different note, I don't like your cat. Sorry if that offends anyone. But, it reminds me of pure twisted evil."

Rias smiles, but also holds darkened glares for the cat as it shows its claws towards her. Rias coughed, and ended up coughing too much, and some spit came out. Makoto cringed as it hit the table, but Rias wiped it away before anything else could happen.

Mr Hyoudou responds with a weird face.

"I-Is that so… T-That's amazing. Hahaha! Are you from a foreign country? Your Japanese is very good. And yes, she's a very scary cat too! She should disappear!"

Mrs Hyoudou and Makoto frowned at the thoughts of what Mr Hyoudou thought about.

"Yes. Due to my Otou-sama's work, I have been living in Japan for a long time and the cat, I agree with you too."

From his face, Mr Hyoudou looked convinced.

But it seems like Mrs Hyoudou, who is sitting beside him isn't.

"Is Rias…-san correct?"

"Yes, Okaa-sama."

"What kind of relationship do you have with Ise?"

That's a good question, it can answer the whole situation from earlier.

Mrs Hyoudou is curious for her answer, but Rias just continues to smile.

"We are just a senior and a junior who are quite close to each other, Okaa-sama."

"That's a lie!" Mrs Hyoudou rejects the answer immediately. "Be-, be-, bbbbbbbecause! On the bed!"

"Ise said he has nightmares, so I was just sleeping with him."

Even Makoto didn't think that would fly. Even Mrs Hyoudou wasn't going to believe something like that, and he was right when her doubting face and finger was directed towards Rias, albeit shockingly so.

"Just sleeping together!? B-Both of you were naked!"

"Nowadays, people sleep naked when they sleep together, Okaa-sama."

"You're quite amazing, aren't you Senpai?"

Makoto murmured to Rias who winked as something weird came from her fingers, directing it towards Makoto's parents.

"I-Is that so…? So people sleep together naked lately."

"Okaa-sama!? Is that all right!? You are okay with that!?"

Ise allowed his voice to slip…but then both Makoto saw it and so did Ise too.

Then they realise that both of their parents eyes look weird. They look empty, as if they were possessed by something. Sensing something was wrong, Makoto looked suspiciously towards Rias, and Ise just looked dumbfounded.

After that Senpai whispers in their ears.

"…I'm sorry. It looked like it would become troublesome, so I used my power."

Makoto knew what that meant immediately, and honestly wasn't sure if he was okay with that, since she was essentially doing things with his parents minds. Ise himself seemed to be somewhat okay with it, but also held some reservations about it too.

But then she looked towards the cat as it jumped onto the table. Rias looked afraid as it strode forward. Almost, like she was being cornered by a wild animal, she felt that afraid. She just watched as it stride forward, across the table, and then stopped right in front of her.

"S-So, what's up Princess?"

Rias knew the name of the cat from what Makoto called her before, but it didn't look like it was interested.

"Nyaaaaaa…"

Hissing at her, Rias felt like she was going to die…

Something about her cold unforgiving eyes, truly did devastate her to no end.

Ise himself just watched her, with eyes of fear and rage at the same time.

Finally, Mr Hyoudou just looked frightened of the cat too.

"P-Princess please…."

Rias tried to bargain with her, almost.

But Princess wasn't interested, and then she became enraged when Rias and Ise showed their fists towards her.

"NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!]

Rias, Ise, and Mr Hyoudou shot off their seats, and rushed for the door as fast as they possibly could.

"Move it!"

Rias grumbled roughly as she pushed Ise to the side.

He stumbled slightly, and went to run again, but Mr Hyoudou repeated the process of yelling "Move it!" and pushed past his son away from the cat.

Ise finally took a look back at Princess who raised her paw, and released her claws, igniting fear within Ise, who then ran out of the house together with Rias, and Mr Hyoudou while crying "LEAVE ME ALONE!" as loud as he possibly could be.

Makoto and Mrs Hyoudou shared a confused look between the two of them.

"What's their problems?"

Makoto shrugged his shoulders as he hugged the cat nonchalantly.

"I don't know. Onii-chan and Tou-chan seem to be getting worked up all of a sudden. Even Buchou did too. Strange, Princess doesn't frighten me…I guess, they don't understand the beauty of Princess~" Makoto turned his neck towards the cat, stroking her ear gently as she purred. "Who's a cute kitty~ Yes you are~ Yes you aaaaree~"

"Nyaaaa~"

Princess bathed in the attention that she was receiving, loving the feeling of being stroked by Makoto, and his Mother too.


As Makoto was ready to leave for the day, to go out of the house, there was a knock on the door.

Curiosity got the better of him, so he opened it, and it revealed to be Millicas standing there while waving her hand.

"Hehehehe, hey~ As in what the humans say, yes?"

"Uuum, yeah. Something like that…s-so, what are you doing here?"

Not that he was bothered either way.

She did save his ass last night, so he wasn't going to turn her away necessarily.

He was just curious on what he was supposed to do now with her here and all.

"Oh, I came to walk you to school! And I have to go there too!"

"Hehe, I don't need a babysitter. I'm sure that there won't be any attacks in broad daylight, not even the enemy is gonna risk something like that. You really didn't have to come, if it was an inconvenience for you."

Millicas waved her hand gently at the thought.

"No, it isn't. This is on my way…if I turn the opposite way, and then turn right, and then take the next left, and finally arrive here…mehehehe, you don't have to worry about something like that Makoto-san~ You really don't have to do anything like that~"

Her cute worries made Makoto actually break out into a grin.

"Then, thanks! Walking to school alone can be boring! Let's go!"

Makoto donned his shoes, and then walked out of the house together with her, walking towards the school.

As they walked, Millicas swayed her head with an enjoyable smile on her face.

"Say Millicas-san, I've got a question for you."

"Oh, what's that?"

Makoto cleared his throat, and explained himself.

"The power you have, is that like…the power that normal Devils your age have? I mean, that Fallen Angel chick was something beyond my comprehension, but your power just blew her, and her little friends out of the water, literally so. So, I was just wondering-"

"Could you have that power too?"

"You're right…I wish to have strong powers too."

Makoto nodded his head as she smiled brightly.

"Yes, I could see you having that power too."

"R-Really?"

Millicas just giggled sweetly as she continued.

"Makoto-san was made into Serafall-sama's servant. You must have something special about you. Though, I don't know what that is, besides your Sacred Gear and all, it must be something incredible for her to take a chance with her own team adding that she did with you. Uuum, I don't know what else to say, but right now, Makoto-san is just a new Devil, and it might seem like the Fallen Angels are very powerful, but compared to what else is out there, they are actually ants living in the lands of elephants."

"A-And, in this analogy, you're the elephant?"

Millicas shook her head to his surprise. His ever growing surprise that is.

"No, I'm nothing like that. I'd leave that to top tier people. But, I'm not so bad, I guess. The Fallen Angels aren't above mid class on their own, from what I can tell. They should be around mid class Devil, from what I had seen, maybe on the low tier of that scale though. Beyond that, Onee-sama, myself, Sona-nee, Akeno-nee, and Tsubaki-san should be able to handle them easily enough if we come across them. Even if it is a one on one fight, I am sure the rest of the peerages would be able to handle it too. But because of the feud between races, we can't just recklessly kill them, unless they attack us anyway."

Makoto nodded, taking in everything that she was saying.

It did make sense, from what he was told anyway.

"I see…well, I'm relieved that there are people that can deal with them should they become a problem. That's right, that's something that should make sense. Also, did I say thanks for yesterday, Millicas-san?"

"You did, and you don't have to worry about something like that. I mean, I did because I quite like Makoto-san~ He's a kind person~ And you don't deserve all of this crappiness happening to you right off the bat."

"Thank you! Yes, I've been thinking this too! It isn't like I did this for fun or anything! Please keep being kind to me Millicas-san! Because the amount of people that aren't, is very high! Even Sona-kaichou is being odd with me, like she doesn't want me to have a break! And my Master…ugh, I mean, Sera-tan has gone away, and I'm essentially left on my own to understand this new world. Though, Yumi-senpai also helps me too, which is very relieving."

Millicas could only feel sorry for Makoto after everything.

He was going through something terrible. He really was. He was being attacked constantly, he had to kill someone as his first day of being a Devil, and he was always seemingly on the bad end of everything that Devils had to offer when it came to the bad stuff, and hasn't even seen much of the good stuff yet.

"Then, don't worry! You can come to me sometimes too! I will definitely help you!"

"Oh…really, thank you Millicas-san! You're the best!"

Millicas smiled, but then that was returned with a blush when the boy hugged her head tightly. Her head fell against his chest, and she blushed even more. Her head rolled upwards, and her eyes met his own eyes, quivering her body under his own one.

"M-Makoto-san is…"

"Something wrong Millicas-san?"

"N-Nothing!"

She broke away from Makoto, and turned her face so he didn't see her face turning darker red by the second.

Makoto watched her as she held a hand to her chest, feeling…weird inside of her chest. She didn't know why. But the hug was different to when, Rias would hug her. She felt, something different to what she usually felt when someone hugged her.

She then looked backwards after she calmed herself down, and changed the subject before anything else could happen.

"So, how did you sleep, Makoto-san?"

"Oh…I couldn't sleep that well."

He confessed after a few moments of silence.

"Oh? Why is that?"

"I just had a funny feeling that something was watching me. But, I had that before becoming a Devil too. So, it isn't to do with being a Devil. I just have such weird thoughts sometimes, like someone is watching me from afar. Weird, isn't it?"

"I suppose it could be~ Anyway, don't you have to get to school?"

Makoto snickered, nodding his head.

"You are right! Let's go!"

Gaining a nod from Millicas, the pair of them walked forward at a faster pace than normal, so Makoto wouldn't be late for class.

Unbeknownst to Makoto himself, he actually was being watched from the distance, in the air, with their eyes never leaving his form. The eyes were neither good or bad eyes, but more like, observing eyes that wouldn't leave his form.


At the schools lunch time, Makoto found himself in a weird predicament.

"Please, sit here Makoto-kun."

Yumi seemed almost excited as she kept patting the side of her.

Makoto was standing in the old school building. Where Rias held her club. But besides Yumi, and Makoto, no one else was there, that's what he believed to be the case anyway. He didn't know what he was supposed to be doing now.

Since Lucy was busy with something, he didn't know what that was, he decided to take Yumi's spontaneous offer to sit with her, and have lunch. He just didn't think that he would be in a situation where he was like this.

"Erm, I don't mind…yeah, sitting down would be good too."

Makoto's bottom lip trembled, as he went towards her, sitting down beside her. While turning towards her, he saw how close she was. Her face happened to come closer towards him, and it made him feel, certain feelings bubbling inside of his chest.

Yumi raised a hand to his face, giving it a gentle pet. Makoto's face immediately turned a little red at the touch of her fingers. The way they danced on his skin, made him feel good inside of his body. It sent shivers up and down his body.

Makoto never thought that like this, he would be able to sit with Yumi like this. Especially with her giving him own attention, special attention at that. In his wildest dreams, he didn't expect this, but he certainly wasn't going to turn away from it either.

"So, how is it Makoto-kun?"

"Y-Yes, this is good…"

Yumi smiled, petting the back of his head. His head fell forwards so she could continue doing it, sighing openly.

"Something wrong Makoto-kun? How are you feeling anyway? We didn't get to speak much yesterday, so I was worried. I heard that you spent time with Millicas-sama, is that wrong? I had heard that you ended up spending time together."

"We did." He breathed out, twisting his body so they'd be face to face with one another. "It was nice, and she's strong too. This Fallen Angel came, and she blew out the Fallen Angel right away with her powers. It was awesome, I didn't know what to think about it honestly. I was stunned by her powers. She was amazing."

"Yes…she is very strong, isn't she?"

Makoto nodded with a smile on his lips.

"Yes…I wish to be that strong too. And even stronger, I want to become stronger."

"With a Master like Serafall-sama, I am sure that you'll gain stronger powers too."

He always had to wonder why she was referred to as 'Serafall-sama' when he didn't know much about her. He knew she did something in the Underworld…but she couldn't be something like a big shot, could she?

"I see…so, she's a big shot then in Devils world?"

"Has no one told you Makoto-kun?"

Makoto gave Yumi a suspicious look.

"About what exactly?"

"Because…eeh, never mind. It doesn't matter now. I'm sure Kaichou will tell you eventually. Anyway, Makoto-kun. I heard that you unlocked your Sacred Gear, is that right?"

"I did yeah. Erm…Yumi-senpai, it's weird because, Kaichou-san didn't know what it was either, and just stared at me and said that she'd look it up, or something like that. I was just mystified by the bird…hehe, funny huh~?"

Yumi's eyes turned suspicious.

"Even Kaichou didn't know? What was it exactly?"

"Some…weird bird thing. It almost looked like it was alive or something. I mean, what could that do? Fly at someone and peck out their eyes or something like that?"

Yumi found that quite funny if that was what his Sacred Gear actually did.

"Hehe, maybe it could be something like that~ But, in all seriousness, Makoto-kun. This Sacred Gear is probably useful, since Serafall-sama reincarnated you into her Devil. She wouldn't pick just anyone to do something like that with. You know, she'll probably know what it is if Kaichou doesn't. But, I am sure Kaichou will find an answer eventually. Since it is a challenge for her, she'll definitely find out what it is."

"I hope she finds out soon, I wish to know what it does. I don't want to be a sitting duck while these people are around wanting to do things with me and Onii-chan…it's wrong, that we have to defend ourselves now. But, if we have to do something like that, then I want to be able to defend myself, Yumi-senpai."

Yumi could understand the growing frustrations within him.

If she was Makoto, she'd feel the same. He essentially was killed, and then hunted down again, had to kill someone, then confronted by another Fallen Angel, and could face the possibilities of having to defend himself again.

All in all, she could see how it must suck for him to not be able to defend himself. And then he also had Ise to worry about and make sure that he was safe too. Though Yumi was sure that Ise would do the same for Makoto too.

"You'll be able to do that soon. Until then, I will become Makoto-kun's personal sword~"

"M-My sword huh…you did have that weird sword when I saw you fighting…how did you materialize your sword anyway? How did that happen?"

"My sword, is my Sacred Gear." Makoto's face fell into a pout as she smiled softly. "I'm able to create any type of demonic sword that I can think of. Fire, ice, lightning, darkness, and so on and so forth. That's how it is."

"Aaaaaah! That's not fair! You can make swords, and I have one that makes a bird appear? What the heck can I do with the bird? You can have different methods of attacks with your swords, but me, I can only use some bird. Say, can you show me a sword Yumi-senpai?"

"Erm…sure, I don't mind."

Makoto watched as Yumi placed her right hand outwards, and from her hand, a weapon was formed. It looked like a European sword, and it looked beautiful. The sword had a jewel in the middle of it, and it looked quite beautiful too.

"Wow, Yumi-senpai…that's really beautiful." Makoto admired the sword while leaning across her, placing his hands on her lap, Yumi's cheeks glistening red. "Yumi-senpai, that sword is quite beautiful. I've never seen such a thing before."

"Really…? I've never thought of one of my swords as beautiful before."

Makoto ran his finger across the silver steel, smiling enchantingly to which Yumi found to be cute.

"It is beautiful though. I don't usually do things with swords, but I have to admit that this sword is very beautiful. I really enjoy seeing this sword…" Makoto paused when his eyes went towards Yumi, seeing her cheeks dark red. "S-Something wrong Yumi-senpai?"

"Erm…y-your hands are on my lap…"

He looked down and did see in fact that his hands were on her lap, immediately becoming flustered.

"I'm sorry! Please forgive me for doing this!"

He pulled away, but slipped backwards.

"Makoto-kun!"

Yumi discarded the sword, and went to catch Makoto before he fell off the couch and injured himself on the side of the table. However, what she didn't count on was being dragged down with him too, ending up on top of his body, hunched over him.

"Yumi-senpai…"

Makoto gushed out while averting his eyes.

Yumi however seemed rather serene, and sweetly placed a hand to his cheek.

"Makoto-kun, remember on our date, there was something we were going to do…"

"We were…" He looked confused, until she slightly parted her lips. "Y-You mean, kiss, right?"

"That's right." His heart, and her own skipped a beat as she drew closer. "I was unsatisfied when I didn't get to kiss you."

His cheeks turned pink as Yumi brushed some of his hair out of his face, revealing his face fully to her. Yumi slowly smiled as she drew closer and closer towards him. He naturally wasn't going to fight her, and parted his lips too.

"Yumi-senpai…I'm glad you're…wanting to do this with me…"

"Only with Makoto-kun…only with you…"

She affirmed as she drew even closer. He could feel her warm breath on his skin. He felt himself shivering from excitement. His body tensed when he felt Yumi place a hand on his chest. But, accepted it when feeling her cooling hand on his warm skin. Even through the shirt, he could feel her intensity exciting him.

"I'm glad…only with me…Yumi-senpai…"

"Yeah, only with Makoto-kun…I only want to kiss Makoto-kun…"

This time, Makoto hoped that this would go ahead.

Makoto wanted it, and she wanted it too.

Yumi wanted to see what he was going to do when they kissed. She couldn't deny that she was excited to see Makoto and her kissing one another. She found it perfect even, just seeing his face blushing like it was, and he reciprocated that too, seeing her face blushing.

Both Makoto and Yumi finally had the chance to be alone, and share a kiss….

"What you are doing on my couch?"

""Argh!""

Immediately, Yumi jumps off Makoto's form, and he sits up straight, putting his hands to his knees, and saw the mischievous eyes of Rias looking towards the pair of them.

"So, what was going on? Did I interrupt your kissing time?"

"You just ruined it."

Makoto grumbled with annoyance, Rias having a troubled expression.

"Uuuu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean too. If you want to continue, then I will leave."

Makoto shook his head, and took his bag, throwing it over his shoulder.

"I-It doesn't matter, I need to go to class now. Goodbye Yumi-senpai, Buchou."

Makoto bows his head, and then leaves the room as Yumi had a slight scowl on her face, as Rias tilts her head to the side slowly.

"I see…I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you and Hyoudou-kun's…private time. But Yumi, I am surprised that you have taken an interest in someone. I was worried that you wouldn't ever show any true emotions to someone else. But, seeing you with Hyoudou-kun, it seems like you're opening yourself up to him."

"It's because…I feel a certain connection with Makoto-kun, is all. I can't understand why, but I just feel like…he's been through something too…like me. I feel it. Is it weird that I feel like something has happened in his past?"

"No, I don't think so. If that's how you feel, but he had a normal upbringing with the Hyoudou's, didn't he?"

Yumi wasn't so sure about that.

She didn't know why, but she felt like he didn't have a normal upbringing.


At the end of the school day, Makoto and Lucy pack their things as Koneko silently walks out of the classroom, bypassing both of them. Instantly noticing her, Lucy gives a slight giggle.

"She's certainly like a Ninja, isn't she?"

"She's very silent anyway." Makoto agreed. "Koneko-chan's always been like that. Though, she seems to be even more silent lately. I wonder what's going on with her…?" Pondering didn't get him anywhere, so turned towards Lucy. "Hey Lucy-chan, are you still okay with me coming over on the weekend to play Persona 5?"

"Heck yeah, I wanna see all of the different relationships, so you don't even need to ask. Muuu, I couldn't even do the game and I wished that I would see some tasty blood...eeh, rather…it's very difficult. But, it isn't like that it has to be so bad that I end up being worried. But, first of all, I have to say that my favourite girl is Morgana-sama~ I really like Morgana-sama~"

"Really? Morgana, is a boy first of all, not a girl. But, my current fav is Futaba-chan, she's just so adorbes that I wanna bring her out into the world, and hug her all day long and then we can have weird babies or something~ Though Makoto-chan, the girl president I think she is, is also adorbes too~ But ooh, Ann-chan too! She's awesome! She can be my lover whenever she wants to be~ She's certainly captured my heart~ But maybe-"

"So, pretty much every girl, right?"

Makoto nodded shyly while twirling his fingers.

"That's right, I can't pick! They are all adorable in their own ways!"

"Hehe, you should just go the harem route then, if there is such a thing~"

"H-Harem route? That's something that Onii-chan would do…"

Lucy saw an opportunity and leaned closer, giving a slight smile on her face.

"Ooh, you've got to admit that the idea of a harem isn't so bad, is it~?"

"Y-You're saying that!?"

Lucy shrugged her shoulders as she slung her bag over her shoulder.

"I'm just saying, it can be done right. I mean, if you love all the girls right, then that's not a problem, is it? I'm sure that if it is Makoto-kun, he'd make a good harem and love everyone~ Hey, would Kiba-senpai be the alpha?"

Makoto's face flashes several shades of dark red as he briefly thought about a harem with Yumi in it. All of his years with Ise affected his mind too, and while mild and well mannered, even Makoto had a slight fantasy about it. He just wasn't as mad about it as Ise was, and if it didn't happen, then he was okay with that.

"I-I don't want to talk about this!"

Seeing that he was shivering and biting his bottom lip, Lucy knew that she had won and did get out of him some of his inner desires.

"Well, either way, Persona 5 huh~?"

"That's right! I haven't had much chance to play it yet with all of this Devil…I mean, with devilish homework, and such, I haven't had a chance to do anything at all! But damn, Futaba-chan is my girl! Don't know why, always had a thing for glasses wearing girls." Lucy was surprised, she didn't know that. "But yeah, like that's how I feel about it."

"I wanna date Morgana-sama though."

"That's a cat, though."

Makoto reminded while sweat dropping, but Lucy had shining eyes that weren't going to go away by any means.

"A damn fine one at that."

Makoto gave a weirded out expression as Lucy gained a dark blush on her cheeks.

"You're…very scary, aren't you?"

"Damn right, when it comes to my pretty kitty cat. I love Morgana-sama!"

"Why do you add 'sama' to his name?"

Makoto felt scared by now, seeing how Lucy looked pretty determined to be with him, and also show such a resolve for her, Morgana-sama, a cat from a video game that she apparently wanted to date…Makoto was going to withhold his judgement for the moment.

Makoto and Lucy were about to leave together, when Tsubaki came into the classroom, with her elegant walking. Makoto himself knew what was going to happen next, but Lucy was dumbfounded.

"Isn't she the student council Fuku-kaichou?"

"That's right. She's Shinra-senpai, no relation to Final Fantasy, unfortunately."

Makoto agreed, confusing Lucy even more than before.

"But, why is she here? Hasn't the student council girl…eeh, Nimura-san already left for the student council? I don't understand why she would be here now, Makoto-kun. What's going on? You've hung out in the student council lately, you'd know, right?"

He didn't want to talk about it.

He wished that he could speak about it, but since it was with a normal human, he wasn't able to do something like that. Makoto just wished that he would be able to do something like that with one of his closest friends, but he wasn't able to do something like that.

"I think that I would know about it anyway. I, just don't know what to think about it, honestly. She's the girl that I didn't think that I would come across. I can't really say why she is here. Maybe she's here for me again…and I thought I could get away…"

Lucy didn't quite catch the last part, and Makoto was glad for that too, since he didn't want to reveal anything that was going on inside of his head right now, he just didn't want to know what was going to happen when Lucy found out about his secret new life.

Tsubaki walked over towards Makoto, and bowed her head.

"Hyoudou-san, Kaichou wishes to see you."

He was dreading this, but he knew it was coming all the same as soon as he saw her.

"Kaichou-san huh…ooh, I was actually going to go out now…"

"It is imperative that you follow after me, please."

"At least she said please…" Muttering it out, Makoto released a breath. "Erm, maybe because I don't understand…that other part of me, I was under the impression that I would be able to do…eeh, you know, teens stuff?"

"That's right." Lucy defended, standing near Makoto himself. "I was also under this impression. Why can't he go and do whatever it is that he wants to do? He is a boy, not some kind of lapdog, that has to go there. I mean, has he done anything wrong?"

Tsubaki tilted her glasses up, meeting the eyes of Lucy.

"I'm sorry, I cannot discuss it openly, so I am afraid that I won't be able to speak about it. Also, I think that because it is Hyoudou-san here, we have to leave immediately. Kaichou wishes to go over something's too."

"Right…I see, I suppose that I have to go, right?"

"Kaichou said that it was important that we leave immediately, that's right."

Makoto took in a full lung full of air, then turned to Lucy to deliver bad news.

"Seems like I'm being summoned again. Ugh, me and my time at the student council. You help them once, and they always come back for your assistance. Seems like I'm not going to be able to get away, am I?"

"Makoto-kun…I know that you're lying." Makoto held his head downwards, wishing that he didn't get caught out by her. "I know that you are because you're a very bad liar, and I know that you have your reasons. Don't worry Makoto-kun, whatever is happening, know that you can talk with me anytime about it, okay? I'll always be beside you and help you. You're like my best friend ever. Since coming to this town, Makoto-kun has been helping me and vice versa, so if you need help, don't be afraid to ask me, alright? I'll always come and help you…even if I don't understand what's going on, you can count on me. Don't worry about anything like that."

Hearing that was enough to make Makoto smile, and gave a thankful smile right towards Lucy herself.

"I'm glad that I have a friend like you, Lucy-chan."

"Hehe~ Silly~ Don't worry about such things~ Anyway, go along with Shinra-senpai, and see what she and Kaichou wants too."

Makoto nodded, bowed his head, then left together with Tsubaki.


As they walked together, Makoto took in a breath, and just smiled softly to himself.

"You know, I could've come myself."

Makoto got Tsubaki's attention like this, drawing her eyes to go towards his.

"Kaichou insisted that I came along with you, to collect you. That is all. I came on her order."

He figured that it would be like that.

It just made sense for that to happen. Kaichou was the type to do something like that.

"I see…well, regardless. What does she want me to do to? I did all of the homework she set me, even though I thought that was quite unfair, considering that I didn't know anything about the Underworld at that point."

"I think that was the entire point."

Tsubaki revealed with a dry emotionless face.

Makoto tilted his head with a confused expression.

"I don't understand, how was it? I didn't know, and I ended up staying really late with Millicas-san."

At the name, Tsubaki paused her walking…

But then she continued and breathed out.

"So, you gained the help from Millicas-sama?"

Again, Makoto didn't know why she was called 'Millicas-sama' since she was just a girl to her. Though, he could understand a little more, since she seemed to be a big deal with Rias too, and he knew she was a Master, though he still didn't know how that was possible.

"That's right. Is there something wrong with that? Oh, she also said don't tell Kaichou-san that either."

She shook her head strongly.

"Nothing like that, I wouldn't say that it was like that. It is just, Millicas-sama is quite…no, how to say it…I didn't think that she would warm up to you so quickly. Perhaps, because she is new to this world, she came across a former human and wished to see what it would be like for a reincarnated Devil to go through his new life? And I won't tell her anything."

"That's, actually quite depressing, Fuku-kaichou. It makes it sound like she only helped me because she wanted to study me like some animal. Is that what you're trying to hint at right now? If it is, I can't say that I like it. In fact, I don't know what to think about it."

"I wouldn't take it personally. She isn't doing it to offend. She's merely doing it to learn. Though, for her to help you, it must mean that she likes you. I would take it as a compliment more than anything else. Millicas-sama is quite the unique girl, after all."

"And, you? Are you unique too?"

"I'm merely someone who is connected with Kaichou, that's all. I owe many things to Kaichou, and intend to serve her too."

"Oh? You owe things to her? Why is that?"

At the question, Tsubaki thought to herself for a few moments, and didn't reveal anything, preferring to keep quiet.

Makoto eyed her up for a few moments, but shrugged his shoulders, and then sighed openly.

"Did I offend you?"

Since she silenced herself, he was sure that he had done something wrong to her.

"No, I just didn't want to reveal anything about myself. It isn't interesting anyway. My past isn't that interesting, I wouldn't worry about offending me. It would take quite a few things to offend me. Besides, unlike your Onii-sama, I do not find you offensive. Like, spying on clubs changing for their practices, and other things of that nature."

"I see…so, you don't like Onii-chan?"

That's what he got from Tsubaki, who just seemed to be dismissive of Ise all together.

"It isn't like I hate him. I hate his actions on other girls. He disrupts their privacy of changing. He leers at them openly, and also makes it difficult for them to do anything. Hyoudou-kun is different to your Onii-sama. Hyoudou-san is quite rude, vulgar, and also has different actions that makes me quiver inside of my body. I do, not like his actions."

"I can understand that, you can have that opinion. But, Onii-chan is a good person too. You, don't have to worry about Onii-chan going too far, I will keep Onii-chan under safe lock and eye. You know what I mean?"

She carefully nodded her head, and continued walking with Makoto himself.


Once making it to the clubroom, Makoto and Tsubaki enter without restrictions.

Seeing Sona there, Makoto immediately walked over, and got something out of his bag as he witnessed the other members in the club looking towards him, even Saji was there, but he wasn't doing anything due to Tomoe giving him icy dagger glares.

"Here, I did everything that you wished for me to do."

Sona looked curious for a few moments, then took the book and papers that came with it, examining them in fine detail.

"Well, it does seem like you've completed the required tasks. Hold on, allow me to go over them."

Sona looked over them in even finer detail, and took out a pen.

While she was doing that, Makoto felt like he was going to die. He just felt so weirded out, like he was being studied by a girl that was essentially only a few years old than him, yet also felt like he was in front of a teacher deciding his future.

It was an extreme way of thinking, but that's how Makoto felt about the situation.

Finishing what she needed to do, Sona coughed into her hand.

"Yes, it seems that you've scored in the 90 percent range. With 33 right out of 36 questions, I have to dub this a success."

"Yes! Nailed it!"

"What!? I only got 9 right when I did it!"

While Makoto was pleased for himself, Saji was very pissed off, and went to say something, but Tomoe yelled "Fucker!" and pulled him down to the chair, holding onto his shoulders, and gave them a very harsh squeeze.

"Look, Saji. I said it before, don't mess with the Shota. He's adorable, and cute. Don't make anything weird, and cause me to cause you pain. I will have to resort to violence if you make me do something like that, you know what I mean Saji-kun?"

It was venom.

She was very venomous right now.

He didn't know what to think, and only stayed silent. He was going to cry if she was going to have her way with him, he didn't want something like that to happen to him, Tomoe was very scary with her Shotacon ways.

"In either case, Hyoudou-kun. I think that this is quite satisfactory for a member of my Onee-sama's peerage." Makoto wasn't sure what she meant by 'peerage' but didn't get a chance to say anything as Kaichou held out a bag. "This, also contains leaflets."

It was like stating the obvious to Makoto, even though he knew what it was.

"Leaflets for what exactly?"

Sona reached into the bag, and pulled one out. Immediately, he was shown a leaflet was actually quite surprising that he had seen it before. It was the same one that he had when Serafall gave it him too.

"This is, a leaflet to summon members of the Leviathan peerage, or you I should say, since most of her peerage don't do this anymore, though Onee-sama doesn't even have a full peerage anyway, and has spaces free."

"Look, what's a peerage? People keep dropping these words on me, and I don't understand them at all."

Makoto wanted answers.

He hated being kept in the dark, he honestly didn't even know what she was talking about now. It just didn't make sense everything that they were dumping on him, he just didn't understand everything that was going on with his life now.

"All in due time, Hyoudou-kun." Sona revealed the ever so faintest hints of a smile. "Do not be concerned, you'll eventually learn when there's a Stray Devil that pops up. Until then, just assume that it is a group of members under a leader. That would be a great way to think about it. Yes, that's a good way of thinking about it. Now, the leaflets. You need to go and deliver them. It is essential for all beginner Devils to do this. Once you've completed this task, in a few days, you'll be able to become someone who goes on contracts. Onee-sama has already told me to make sure that you're well looked after, or she'd have my…well, I won't go into specific details. Let's just say that you'll be going with your Onii-sama for this portion of the new path that you've been set on. How does that sound?"

"Great to me! I love working with Onii-chan!"

"Good attitude. Yes, you'll be meeting Hyoudou-san soon, and then you'll be delivering leaflets. Though it is just delivering leaflets, it is also apart of being a Devil too. It might seem bland, boring, and something that you do not wish to do, but this is what is also important to learning the essentials."

"R-Right…b-by the way, have you found out anything about my Sacred Gear?"

At the question, Sona adopted an apologetic face.

"There are a few Sacred Gear's that have abilities of manifesting creatures. One is used for shooting out energy attacks, and other things. One is a smokescreen type ability, and so on and so forth. I haven't been able to discern which is which yet. I'll be also devising testing for you in the near future to see what your Sacred Gear actually does. Until then, perhaps you can try it yourself? Under supervision of course. Because we don't know what it does, it could just cause it to fly at your opponents or something else. We haven't a clue yet, so it is going to be difficult to discern what it is going to be."

While Makoto felt down about it, he wasn't going to dissuade himself and keep going forward.

"Right, I understand."

Sona nodded and witnessed his face turning downwards slightly into a thinking position.


It was night, and Makoto headed along with Ise to deliver leaflets. While he rode on his bike, Makoto sat on the back, and held onto him. Since Sona allowed Makoto to go with Ise, it also gave him the chance to spend time with Makoto himself, and Ise himself. Brothers that get to spend time together. In ways, he was glad that Ise was a Devil too. That certainly did lessen the blow of him being a Devil too. Though, the way that he died, he wasn't a fan of that…if he had the right information. He didn't know much on how Ise died, but knew it was a Fallen Angel for certain since Yumi told him something like that too.

"So, what happened in the club today Onii-chan? I heard from Yumi-senpai that she was going to be taking you there, so what's going on with that Onii-chan? Did you and Buchou-san end up doing things together."

Makoto asked as he delivered one of the leaflets.

"Yeah, I was totally inducted into the group! Buchou, Akeno-san, Kiba, and Koneko-chan too! Though delivering leaflets sucks, at least we get to do it together, huh!" Makoto smiled weakly, Ise not seeing that. "But, why are you being so quiet all of a sudden? Is something going on Makoto?"

"No, I was just thinking about what happened since becoming a Devil. You didn't tell me what happened with you…I mean, with Amano-san. She was the Fallen Angel that ended your life, wasn't she?"

It was quite the hard thing to hear from Makoto. Wanting to know what happened on the date.

"She…Makoto, we ended the date. It was, good. The date was good. We were at the park…and now I remember what happened. I didn't think that it would be happening to me. But I saw her transform into a winged creature…some kind of anime or something. She then said something about a Sacred Gear as she killed me. Stabbing me through the stomach."

"I see…I'm sorry that happened…"

Apologizing from the bottom of his heart, he knew that whatever Yuuma did to him, truly was devastating just by the way how he seemed to tense upon even talking about it.

Rather than discuss that further, Ise changed the subject.

"So, how long have you known? I mean, you didn't seem surprised with what Buchou said this morning, and you bolted out the door pretty quickly too. I mean, Buchou said that you were the same as us, right? That's right, isn't it?"

"I have known since Monday…because, I was killed on Sunday too."

Ise was naturally shocked at the news, twisting his head to meet Makoto's own head as he paused the bike.

"Y-You were? Who did it?"

At the question, Makoto's different coloured eyes looked at Ise sadly, and with that, he knew that his younger brother was having a difficult time with dealing with what happened, wanting to support him anyway that he could support the boy himself.

"It was a man in a fedora, and a woman with blue hair. I think their names were Dohnaseek and Kalawarner. Beyond that, I don't know anything about them. It was…honestly, I was having fun with Yumi-senpai. I had been waiting for it for ages now. But then, they came…the Fallen Angels came, and ruined that. I wasn't able to do something like being with it attacking me. Yumi-senpai was very valiant, and came to my defence, saving me from being attacked. But, then she was cornered, and I jumped in front of the attack before it could stab her…y-you know, like a real man would? That's what you said that time, wasn't it? You said that if a girl is being attacked, a man should step in and defend her with everything that he had within him? That's what I did Onii-chan…I did my best to protect her…and I did, but I ended up dying because of it, though I saved Yumi-senpai so, that's a good thing in my eyes."

Ise carefully nodded, giving Makoto's hair a pet.

"That's right, I did say something like that. You're right, Makoto, that's exactly what you should do."

"Thanks…yeah, that's what happened. I was stabbed, and then I was reborn as a Devil."

"Not under Buchou, right?"

Makoto shook his head as a flash of Serafall entered his mind briefly, before turning back to Ise himself.

"Not Buchou-san. Someone else. Someone called Serafall-san. I don't know much about her, and only know that she is my Master. It was that girl that appeared on Monday at home and said those weird things. She was, there, and then she left the other day, and now I'm on my own, with Kaichou-san looking after me, and taking over until Sera-tan can make it back. Kaichou-san is okay I suppose, though I could do without a homework on top of my normal homework. Anyway, Onii-chan…on Monday night, I was attacked again."

"Makoto!? What happened?! Y-You're okay right!?"

The brotherly affection Ise held for him, make Makoto smile immensely.

"Thank you for your concern, but I am okay. Don't worry about me Onii-chan…but, the person that attacked me, was a person…that was something called a stray, which I don't know much about that, and he attacked me. He had this weird sword, of light I think. And then there was his gun…Onii-chan. I didn't have a choice…I didn't have a choice, and I had to do it…I had to do it Onii-chan, I didn't have a choice…I didn't have a choice, and I ended up doing it…Onii-chan, I'm so sorry, that I am like this now…"

"Makoto, what's going on? What happened?"

Makoto's eyes turned sadder by the second, while Makoto himself felt crappy about his situation, he didn't know what he was supposed to do now.

"I was…I had to shoot that person dead…I was scared. He came at me, so I didn't have a choice but to shoot that person. As it killed him, I didn't know what I am supposed to do…Ise-nii, it was horrible…I don't know what happened after that…it was just…Sera-tan came and said it was okay…but, I still think about it. Killing, I turned to that after everything that happened. It was horrible Onii-chan, it really was horrible."

"I see…don't worry Makoto. You did something good, saving yourself. But it must've taken balls to do that. yeah, that's a good thing Makoto, you saved yourself. Haha, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to defend yourself. But you did, I'm proud of you."

It seemed like Ise was proud of him…but Makoto was shocked, and perplexed at the same time. He just admitted to killing someone, yet Ise said he was proud. How could he be proud of someone killing someone else?

"B-But, didn't you hear that I just killed someone…"

"I'd rather you kill them, then they kill you, Makoto." Ise explained as his hand petted the top of his head. "Look, I don't understand this Devils life now, but I understand my Otouto. You're a gentle person, who wouldn't hurt others needlessly. If you had to kill someone, then that person must've been truly evil. You don't have to worry, Makoto. You're a good person, and because of your strength, I know that I will also be able to deal with my new life too. Besides, I've got my Otouto to be a Devil with! This surely will just bring us closer!"

Makoto gained a light smile on his lips, nodding his head.

"S-So, it is alright, then?"

"Of course! You defended yourself, that's all there is too it. You didn't go out to try and kill this guy, right?" Makoto nodded as his eyes held back some tears. "Then, you've got no guilt to worry about. Besides, now that I'm a Devil too, and know you are, I won't allow anything to touch you. I'll definitely defend you!"

"A-And me too…I will defend Onii-chan with everything that I have gotten inside of me."

The two brothers shared a small smile on their lips, making a declaration to protect the other if anything should happen. That, made Makoto feel better, and Ise was glad that he was able to help his younger brother.


When Makoto returned home, he went straight to his bedroom as Ise went to his own bedroom as well, where he saw Princess sitting on his bed, pawing at something. He cocked his head to the side at the cats actions.

"Princess, what have you gotten?"

"Nyaaaa~"

She meowed as he looked closer at the object.

Thanks to his Devils sight, he was able to see quite well in the dark, and he saw that it was a large box. At least, it was in height anyway. It was as tall as his bed was, and it was on his bed so he went over to it, and curiously looked at it.

"A package…for me? Who would send me anything?"

Asking aloud didn't do anything, so Makoto lifted the large box.

Though it was a little heavy, his new found strength allowed him to lift it up, placing it down onto the ground.

On the top of the box, he found a letter being there. Since it wasn't tapped to the box, it was just laying there, and with the tiniest breath, it could be blown away. Actually, Makoto was shocked that it didn't fall off when he was removing it off his bed.

More questions came to him as he reached out, taking the note, tearing open the envelop after reading 'To Makoto' on the front of it.

Opening the letter, Makoto examined the contents to himself without saying anything.

[To Makoto. I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect you. Here, some gifts from me to make your life a little better. But, don't tell anyone.]

Though it was a short letter, Makoto noticed that on the bottom of the letter, was a nicely drawn white rose.

His head felt a little dizzy for a moment as he stared at the white rose, recalling something from his past.

"White rose…I remember a white rose that was…it couldn't be that girl, could it? I haven't seen her in years…does that mean she's back in town now…?"

Makoto inspected the letter again and again, but he couldn't find any signature.

He didn't even see a return address either so he couldn't send any letter back either. He looked all over the box to see if there was anything else there that could lead him to the sender of the box, and note. Though he had a good idea, he wasn't confident on who had done it, but he was determined to find out who had done it, he wasn't going to give up until he found something that lead him to the person who did send it.

"Nyaaaaa~"

He heard the cat meowing so he looked and saw that she was pawing the large box again. He didn't want to waste anymore time in just examining the box, so he had to get into the box, only to quell the inner curiousness that he had.

"Might as well see what's inside, right Princess?"

"Nyaaaaa~"

He presumed that's what she meant when saying "Yes!" so he practically tore the box open, and revealed inside many different things to his eyes.

"W-Whoa, that's…and that is…wow, I haven't even gotten one of those yet…b-but, that's also…hehehe, this is really…"

He was baffled, and excited at the same time.

He couldn't choose between the two which he was.

What he found was, many different types of games he had meant to get. Collectables that he wouldn't ever be able to afford. Light Novels, and Manga he had meant to get too but didn't have the money for.

There wasn't one thing in the box that he didn't like.

It was filled with everything and even things Makoto had forgotten about, to get that he hadn't had time for since becoming a Devil. His excitement came over him, so he held the cat in his arms, and began swaying around.

"Seems like we have a guardian Angel, or is it Devil now? Is that right Princess? Aaah, it seems like someone out there cares about me like that~ Hmmm, I wonder if it is that person…well, they did show weird things during that time…I just thought that it was fakey stuff, but now thinking about it…will I see that person again…?"

Makoto was happy…

For the first time in a genuine while, he was happy.

Since becoming a Devil, Makoto had been going through one thing after the other, and hadn't had a chance to just be, him. He didn't have anything that he was still him to do in his life. He wasn't able to do anything that he wanted. His time was monopolized by people that he didn't even really talk too before becoming a Devil.

He swayed his body, and shook it as the cat snuggled against his chest.

"Yay for us, right Princess~ We get Manga, Light Novels, and other things too~ There's even an anime shirt with my waifu~ How awesome is that~ I can't believe that someone has given me something like this~"

Makoto continued to dance around with his cat, enjoying himself, allowing himself to relax for the first time in a while.

Outside of his window, at a distant building, someone was looking into the room, seeing Makoto having a smile on his face, and dancing. In turn, the persons face that was covered in shadows lifted up, and just watched Makoto being happy.


A few days later, Makoto walked towards the student council room, once again. This time, he was being escorted by Tsubaki once again. It seemed to be the normal now that she would come for him. he didn't know why, since he would just go anyway, but Kaichou thought it would be good if they did go together.

"Fuku-kaichou, am I doing leaflets again this time too?"

To his question, Tsubaki shook her head.

"This time, you'll be doing a contract, your first one, isn't it?"

"Yes! I get to do a contract!"

Tsubaki widened her eyes at the sudden shift of his tone.

"You seem to have brightened up for the past few days."

Tsubaki couldn't help but notice this, seeing how he had changed his attitude, at least somewhat anyway.

"Onii-chan said that I wasn't a bad person for doing what I did with that stray guy. Because Onii-chan said it, I knew it was true. Because Onii-chan is a good person too, and he said I wasn't a bad person for doing that."

"Do you always believe everything he says?"

It wasn't meant to be a harsh comment, only a shrewdly observed observation.

Makoto to her surprise, shook his head.

"No, I don't always. Just when Onii-chan is speaking passionately. If he said spying on girls was for the good of a teen boys life, then I wouldn't believe him. I can tell when Onii-chan is being truthful with kindness, and being truthful with naughty intentions."

"I see, then that's how it is."

Tsubaki duly noted to herself, and thought about what he said.

To Makoto, it seemed like she was happy enough with that answer, and it did make him feel good.

However, there was something that was nagging him, something that he wouldn't be able to get over since he was just a naturally curious person.

"By the way Fuku-kaichou, why is it that you come for me each day?"

"Hmmm?"

Tsubaki seemed to be playing innocent, and just hummed.

Makoto cocked his head sideways.

"Shinra-senpai? Are you dodging the question?"

"No, I simply don't know how else to put it. I just am the one that Kaichou sends. It isn't anything other than that. it wasn't like I opted to do this for myself. It was just the luck of the draw, I guess you would put it. Though, would you rather have Meguri?"

"No thank you! You're good! No Meguri-senpai please! I don't need her thanks! She is very scary!"

Makoto spluttering words made Tsubaki crack the ever so slightest of smiles.

"Then, you should be pleased that it is myself that has come for you. Meguri is very…she can be very frightening to say the least. I cannot deny something like that, it really can be a scary thing, Meguri that is. She has that effect on people."

"Don't you mean, Shota's like me?"

"I wasn't going to mention it like that, but yes. That's how it is."

Makoto felt weirded out, but followed Tsubaki regardless.


Eventually, they made it to the clubroom, entering without a worry in the world.

As soon as he walked in, Makoto saw that there was a circle on the ground that had different characters, letters, and other things like that around it. Something you'd find in the occult, and it worried him that something was going to happen.

"Tsubaki, please get the magic circle ready."

Sona ordered Tsubaki who bowed her head immediately.

"Yes, Kaichou. Hyoudou-kun, please come to the centre of the magic circle."

Tsubaki tells Makoto to come by using her hand.

The way she moved her hand was quite, nice, compared to how she usually talks.

Makoto walked to the centre of the circle, and just looked around at all of the peoples eyes on him. He was just glad that Saji, wasn't there today. And even Tomoe wasn't there either. In fact, besides Tsubaki, and Sona, only Ruruko was present. He didn't know where they were, and honestly, he wasn't sure if he minded anymore since he was too excited to become able to do contracts.

"Hyoudou-kun, your work of giving out the leaflets is over. Well done."

For a rare bout of mood swings, she seemed to be smiling.

That, made Makoto smile too.

"I see…then, I'm glad that it has finished! To be honest, it was getting pretty tiring handing out leaflets day by day. So, to be able to finish is a pretty good thing for me! I'm glad that I was able to finish this now!"

Sona nodded, and then continued while giving a stone stare.

"Now I will have you do the actual job of a Devil."

"Yes, Shinra-senpai said that I would be doing a contract, today? Is that right?"

Sona inclined her head as she briefly cleaned her glasses.

"Yes, that's right. Though, since it's your first time, it's going to be a contract with someone who wants to make a small wish. Since you're not a part of my family, my peerage and whatnot, the contracts went through Onee-sama, who said that this would be perfect for you since this person has been asking after you specifically, unexpectedly considering that she…well, it doesn't matter."

Makoto didn't catch much of what she said at the end, only catching that Sona was indeed in contact with Serafall, when he wasn't in contact with her. In fact, he hadn't heard from her since meeting in his room that one day before she left permanently.

"So, you're in contact with Sera-tan?"

Sona twitched when Makoto used the nickname that Serafall told him to give.

"That's right, we make frequent contact with one another. Because she wishes for progress reports on you."

"Ooh right…s-say, since you are in contact with her, can't I also contact her too? She is my…whatever now, isn't she?"

"I suppose that could be arranged. Yes, I don't see why not. I'm sure she'd love to see her new member again, she's always asking about you, and your welfare and all of that other stuff. Yes, I think that's how it is."

Makoto was glad that he could have something like that.

He did want to talk with her again, since he was, immensely wanting to ask her something's that he wouldn't be able to ask Sona. Not that Sona was horrible, but she was, difficult to converse with. She seemed to have a barrier around her, and wouldn't drop it for anything in the world.

Tsubaki who is inside the circle is casting something as Ruruko watches on silently.

Then, the magic circle starts emitting blue and white lights.

"So, what does this thing do?"

Makoto was the one to ask for himself, turning towards Sona for answers, who gave one while smiling dryly.

"Tsubaki is currently inserting your carved seal into the magic circle. Since it is the personal one of Serafall-nee-sama, that's how it is. It is going to be a little while longer than normal. But do not be concerned, it shouldn't take that long."

It seemed plausible for that to be the case.

Makoto knew that it was something of a family crest. He knew that it was, and he guessed that while Sona and Serafall were sisters, they had different carved seals and family crests. And if they didn't, then he wasn't sure what to think anymore.

So for people who are trying to summon him, and for people who want to make a contract with him, this sign represents his symbol.

So, the activation of the so-called demonic power is related to this.

He thought about getting engraved with the same signs, but it seems like you have to learn how to control demonic powers when you first become a Devil, and then using demonic power which creates natural phenomenon by coordinating it through the magic circle after that.

Demonic powers intrigued Makoto because of what he had heard what they could do. He wished to use them too. He heard that he could use elements with demonic powers, like magic. Though, when mentioning magic, Makoto heard it was different from demonic powers. But no one specified how that was.

"Hyoudou-kun, put your palms towards here."

Makoto put his left hand towards Kaichou, just like she said. She writes something on his palm with her fingers. He guessed that it was a charm or something else like that. But then he saw that on his hand, it was a circle. She was drawing a magic circle, or a crest. A families crest, perhaps.

Then his palm glows.

There is a circular symbol, a magic circle engraved in his hand. It's glowing in blue and white.

"This allows you to transport to the client's place instantly by making you go through the teleportation-type magic circle. And when the contract is done, it lets you return to this room."

"Well, that's certainly useful, I can't deny that."

Breathing out with a timid face, Makoto saw Sona gesturing towards Tsubaki.

"Tsubaki, are you ready?"

"Yes, Kaichou."

Tsubaki steps out the magic circle, leaving Makoto behind.

"Now stand in the centre."

Makoto stands at the centre of the magic circle like she urges him to.

Then the magic circle starts to make a stronger glow.

Inside of his body, he could feel something…like the magic circle and his body were resonating with one another. Almost, it seemed like Makoto was being pulled somewhere else, and that place wasn't a place he'd want to go through, he had a slight bad vibe.

"The magic-circle is responding to the client. You will be teleported to that location now. You already have the manual for what to do after getting teleported right?"

"Yes, I will do my best Kaichou-san."

"Good response. Now, get going!"

Though he wasn't accepting his Devil side, not just yet, he didn't have anything else to do, he didn't know what else to do. For now, he was a so called unwilling participant in being whatever he was now. Being a Devil still wasn't exactly a thrilling thing for him.

The magic circle starts to glow even stronger. It looks like he's getting teleported there instantly.

There are many lights which are covering his body. Makoto closed his eyes because of the brightness. He was sure that the next time that he opened his eyes, he would be wherever he was being sent.

He then felt a weird sensation coming over his body as lights danced around him. Then, with a flash, Makoto teleported away.


When Makoto came to his client's home, his eyes opened and he saw that the instant that he opened his eyes, he was in a girls bedroom.

It was clearly a girls bedroom by the wallpaper being pink with unicorns on it. He saw some books on tennis, but he didn't pay attention to that. his eyes looked around, and he saw a large bed, fit for a Queen. It certainly was big enough. The room was easily triple the size of his bedroom.

But then he noticed something else…

He saw a poster of him.

He saw himself, on the wall in a poster. From the looks of it, it was taken not that long ago. He didn't remember the picture himself, but it was up close, so it wasn't a creepy stalker picture that was taken from a distance…but still, it wasn't normal.

He looked around more, as fear was slowly coming over him.

He saw some more things that had his face on it. Like pictures on walls, and even on the roof too, right above the bed of the presumed girl who owned the room. But, he didn't see the girl at all, he couldn't see anyone like that.

"Shit…this is weird…w-where did Kaichou-san send me?" Asking himself didn't get any answers so he looked for the door. "Gotta get out of here before something happens to me…this is going to end with my death. I've seen the movies, and this is what is happening to me! I'm going to end up dead on this girls trophy wall, aren't I!? Fuck this! I'm out of here!"

Makoto wasn't going to stay there anymore, and rushed for the door as fast as his legs could possibly carry him.

Finding it, he opened it…

"Hello there, Makoto-kyun~ I've been expecting you~"

Makoto took a fearful step back as the woman entered the room.

Who entered was Kiyome Abe, the person who Makoto knew was a huge fan of his, a very scary fan of his.

She was wearing what appeared to be a cowgirls outfit, with a hat and everything. She even had the tassels dangling from her very short skirt. She even had a fake cat on her shoulder, which confused Makoto even more.

Now, it made sense why there was many things of him littered around the room.

But the question he begs for an answer was…why was he sent here of all places!? Did karma have something against him!?

"Abe-senpai…why am I here…y-you know about Devils…r-right?"

He knew it was stupid since it left his left.

But Kiyome was there to answer it regardless.

"Fufufu, the day I found out Makoto-kyun was a Devil, I couldn't help but have my imagination blown. Though I usually am frightened by Devils that might want my soul, Makoto-kyun already took my heart, so he could have my soul too~ I heard about Devils having contracts, and I pulled out all the stops, and begged to have you all to myself. It was a struggle, and I owe your King a few things later on, but Makoto-kyun, guess who gets to have you all to herself~?"

The colour from Makoto's face drained as fear appeared on his face.

"…This is probably a stupid question, but I'm not going to die, right?"

He felt even stupider if that was possible for asking the question.

Kiyome raised fingers to her lips, winking which made Makoto take a few steps backwards towards the bed, not wanting to be touched by this Shotacon. He was even more frightened of her, than he was of someone else…like Meguri for an example.

"Oooh, don't worry Makoto-kyun, I wouldn't ever kill you. Don't worry, I'm here for you now. Think of me as Onee-sama."

"I have many names for you, and none of them are Onee-sama."

Kiyome adopted a cute pout on her lips, twitching her upper body which made her boobs jiggle. Being a man, Makoto was enamoured by her breasts for a few seconds, before turning his eyes downwards shyly.

"Ooh sweetie pie~ Don't be so worried, it isn't like I am going to do anything to you that you're not going to like. I'm just going to be enjoying me some Shota alone time. We don't get any at school, and it hurts my feelings. So, I want to become a part of your life now, and shower the Devil-kun before me in sexy affection…ooh, speaking of sexy affection~"

Kiyome grabbed a control from the side, and pressed play.

The song 'I'm too sexy' came on as Makoto looked at Kiyome with teary eyes as he backed away, only to slip and land on the bed, with his body cowering away from Kiyome's in immense fear.

He saw Kiyome teasingly winking towards him as she played with the cowgirl jacket, almost teasingly. Bending over, Makoto got a good shot of her cleavage, before she rose up again, allowing her breasts to jiggle around in her very tight looking shirt.

"I'm, too sexy for this jacket~ Too sexy for this jacket~ So sexy it chafes~"

Kiyome threw the jacket off her body, revealing her body to the shaking like a leaf Makoto, who was left alone with this Shotacon.

"That doesn't rhyme!"

Kiyome didn't care, and continued to dance quite alluringly actually. If it was anyone else, Makoto wouldn't be so scared…no, if it was Meguri, he would be.

"I'm too sexy for this hat~" Kiyome lifts the hat off her head, and twirls around while swaying her body sexily. "I'm too sexy for this hat, what do you think about that~?"

Kiyome hungrily threw the hat in his direction, which hit his body, landing on his top half, and then fell down to the ground.

"I'm immensely scared! That's what I think about it!"

Kiyome blows a kiss towards him, as he sheds a fearful tear.

The fake cat that she had on her shoulders then was lifted upwards, and held it out in front of her. Makoto watched as she placed her lips to the fake cats head, sending a naughty wink in his direction while shaking her body left and right, her breasts dancing in her already tight shirt.

"I'm too sexy for this cat~ This poor little pussy, this poor pussy cat~"

"Why would you be too sexy for a cat? I am scared!"

Kiyome winked, and then threw away the cat, discarding it as she moved closer to Makoto's body, who cringed.

She then puts a hand to her top, and teasingly lifts it up. Makoto's eyes bulge as she continues her little dance routine, which admittingly wasn't that bad, if it wasn't done by a crazed Shotacon!

"I'm too sexy for this shirt~ So sexy it hurts~"

Makoto shed more tears as she lifted her shirt off her body, tossing it to the ground. Thankfully, to his sanity, she was wearing a bra. On her bottom, she lifted her skirt, Makoto shaking his head and begged.

"Please don't! Please stop! I'm quite scared right now!"

Kiyome pouted, placing a hand to her breast.

"Aren't you interested in this? Don't you wanna see what's underneath?"

"Waaah…n-no, I'm okay thanks! I-I mean, you're really pretty, but please don't go further! I might keel over and die inside of my body!"

Kiyome pouted even further and moved closer to Makoto. Makoto went to scramble to his feet, but Kiyome possessed unknown speed, crossing the distance, and threw herself on his hips, straddling his body as she moved up and down, putting a hand to his shirt.

"Yahoo! Like a real cowgirl, right!? I'm gonna ride this cowboy for all he's worth~!"

Makoto cringed as she continued to bounce on his lap, and he felt his…soldier raising to attention. He willed it away, but he couldn't will it away, he just hoped that she didn't comment on it or he'd die of embarrassment.

"Please…w-why did you summon me…? W-What is it that I'm supposed to do for you exactly!?"

Kiyome moistens her lips with her tongue, igniting scary thoughts in the young boys mind.

"I mean, I did summon you officially to help with my homework, but I can't be bothered with that now. So, why don't we do some naughty stuff~ Want Onee-sama to wash your body~? Your tight body~"

Makoto felt like dying on the inside.

He felt like he was going to be touched in places that he didn't want to be. Her eyes were ready to cling to him, and ready to do something to him. Makoto felt like he was going to be touched in places that he didn't want to be touched in by Kiyome.

"…Are you going to rape me?"

Kiyome's face adopted a scary smile.

"Fufu, not at all sweetie~ We're just going to have a little fun~"

"I need an adult…"

He whimpered, trying to comprehend what he was going to do.

Kiyome leaned closer and closer, a naughty smile appearing on her face.

"I am an adult Makoto-kyun~"

"Waaaah…"

Makoto lost all hope at that moment.


End chapter!

So, seems like there are some people in town spying on dear Makoto, but for what purpose would they be doing this? Ise finally knows he's a Devil, and Princess is one the warpath, even Rias is frightened of her. Millicas, and Makoto have a small bonding session, as do Yumi and Makoto who almost end up kissing, though Rias interrupted them. Makoto and Ise also have a heart to heart about Makoto killing that Stray Exorcist a few chapters ago, and big bro reassures Makoto that he's a good person, helping him move past that now. Also, seems like someone is sending Makoto some gifts…but who is that? Makoto has been cornered by Kiyome…this isn't good for him. What's going to happen now?

Now, onto the familiar! Wow, it was a nice response, so thanks for everyone that voted! I kinda expected Tiamat to be on top, but I didn't expect Kunou to get as many votes as she did. But Kunou got a fair few votes too, so in response to that, and with some great ideas from both reviewers, and PM's alike, I've been able to come up with plauisble explanations for both of them to become his familiar, one being a normal familiar, and one being a pact partner, like Asia has with her sprite dragon, and Fafnir respectably, and it will be fun when Tiamat wants a price for being summoned.

Next chapter introduces our fav, at least one of my favourite, characters! So, expect a certain nun to appear next chapter, and Makoto has a solo 'fight' with a Fallen Angel, so look forward to that! Until next time! Thanks for reading!
