AxA-Life.4 Meeting With a Pervert

To my right sat a beautiful exorcist named Himiko, to my left sat the Most Beautiful Woman in Heaven. I suddenly feel like I won the lottery.

"This is not a lottery. We are merely trying to recruit you into joining Gabriel-sama's new taskforce."

As usual, Himiko knew what I was thinking and destroyed by dreams. Gabriel simply giggled, "You're a funny boy."

Seeing her giggle like that, I couldn't help but blush. Everything about Gabriel was simply charming. She just seemed so pure and innocent that I wanted to hug her and pat her head. While Himiko is only good in the looks department, Gabriel is a Superstar in everything!

Himiko glared at me.

"If you continue thinking improper thought about Gabriel-sama, I'll skin you alive."

Scary! Himiko suddenly became incredibly scary! Save me, Gabriel-sama!

"Now Himiko, that's not nice. Shirou-san wouldn't have those kinds of thoughts about anyone."

"… If you say so, Gabriel-sama."

I suddenly felt kind of bad. Sorry Gabriel, but I had fantasies concerning both you and Himiko last night. That said, I don't regret it and will continue to have such fantasies. It's only to be expected. I'm a young teenage guy living with two beautiful women.

"Now then, I believe it's time for school, Shirou-san."

I looked at the time and saw that it was indeed time for school. Truthfully I wanted to take another day off, but Gabriel wouldn't hear it. According to her there's nothing more important to a young man then getting an education, even if the school was enemy territory.

So I got dressed and headed out. As I was walking down the street, I suddenly felt a chill go down my spine. Looking around I tried to identify what I felt, but saw nothing. Shrugging, I turned around and continued on my way to school. But I couldn't help but think back to that feeling I just had…

Once I entered the classroom, I saw that Koneko-chan seemed to be staring off into space. Hmm, that's no good Koneko-chan. making up my mind, I turned towards her and started a conversation.

"Hey Koneko-chan, is something wrong? If you have something to let out, I'll lend you an ear."

Koneko-chan looked over at me, "Nothing's wrong. Buchou's just testing Sempai."

I see. In other words Koneko-chan is worried about her sempai. She won't admit it, but she's worried. Well, I guess if it's someone you know, it's only natural to worry in you know they're about to do something stupid.

That said I have no proof that her sempai is doing something stupid. It's more of a feeling really.

Hmm, now I'm curious as to whom this Sempai is? Some kind of super popular, incredibly handsome, guy?

Okay, now I'm jealous. Damn you Sempai! I'll make you regret worrying Koneko-chan! I swear to God All Mighty and Satan, I'll get you!

SMASH!

I looked over and saw that a bolt of lightning appeared and smashed part of the schoolyard. That's… not because I swore to both God and Satan, is it?

Just to be on the safe side, I decided to not swear to both of them anymore. Don't want to spontaneously combust after all.

With that in mind I looked out the window and sighed. Class has started but it's too boring to keep up with. I need something to keep my mind off of this. But what could possibly do tha…

A man stood on top a mountain, staring into the sky

The man smiled, 'What would I want? That's easy, knowledge.'

From above a voice spoke, 'Then it shall be yours. I grant you all of the knowledge of Yahweh.'

A light shown down upon the man, giving him a golden radiance surrounded him…

… Strange? I don't fall asleep this time but still had a strange vision. Man, just what is going on with me?

As I was wondering this, I found that class has ended. In fact, we were already done with fourth period. Geez, just how long was I out?

Well, since it's time for lunch I might as well go get some before Gabriel figures out that I forgot mine and come to deliver it. Already caused a commotion with Himiko coming over, so I don't really want to find out what would happen if Gabriel appeared. Just thinking about it sends a shiver down my spine.

I was walking through the hallway when I saw something unexpected. Staring out the window with a depressed look on his face was the pervert I saw on my first day of school. Hmm, wonder what happened? Did that cute girlfriend of his breakup with him?

Well, I don't want to be seen associating with him so I think I'll just continue on my way…

"Amakusa-san."

I turned and saw Koneko-chan standing behind me.

Overhearing her voice, Mr. Pervert looked over.

"Oh, Koneko-chan and… a good-looking guy."

It appears that she doesn't like me, since he glared at me. Koneko-chan looked over at him.

"Ah, Sempai."

Sempai. As in, make Koneko-chan worried Sempai? I suddenly didn't like him.

I ignored him and looked over at Koneko-chan.

"You need something, Koneko-chan."

She pointed at me, "Observe, Buchou's orders."

I see, so that's what it was.

"Observe?"

I turned to see Sempai looking at us, clearly confused. I just sighed and looked at him.

"The Church is trying to recruit me so now I'm being watched by the local devils. I'm guessing that you're a devil?"

"Yes, I'm a devil and servant to Rias Gremory. And because I'm a devil I can't interact with people from that old Church. Even if I know they're in trouble and is a friend of mine, I can't do anything about it."

"…"

Okay, that sounds like a predicament. It's obvious that he wants to help this friend of his but because of his status as a devil he can't. Life with the supernatural sure is complicated. I kind of feel sorry for him.

Hmm, come to think of it didn't Koneko-chan mention a test…

"…"

The look in her eyes was all I needed. Gremory-san must want this guy to infiltrate the fallen angel base and save his friend, or something. Guess I'm not the only having problems.

I just smiled and held out my hand.

"I know this is our first time meeting and I might not be of much help, but feel free to talk to me anytime. But the way, I'm Amakusa Shirou."

He just looked at my hand for a moment, and then shook it.

"Hyoudou Issei."

I don't know why, but as soon as our hands met I felt a jolt of energy rush through my arm. Because of the surprise jolt I quickly pulled my arm away. Issei looked at me in surprise, but I just smiled.

"Muscle spasm."

"Okay… anyways, I guess I should get going. See you after school Koneko-chan."

Issei-san turned to leave, but I just couldn't let him go off on his own with that sad of a look. So I called out to him.

"Hey Issei-san! You know if a friend is in trouble it shouldn't matter what the situation is. Friends help each other. It's as simple as that."

I didn't both to hear his reply. I just continued on my way to get some lunch and then head back to class.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was after school and I was walking home. I didn't see Issei again today, but that's fine. I really don't want people to know that I interacted with a known pervert.

I much keep my image as good as possible.

With that I mind, I continued onwards when I noticed something out of the corner of my eye.

Leaning on a wall was Hazazel. Noticing my gaze, he smiled and waved me over. Looks like he was waiting for me.

With a sigh I walked over towards him.

"What do you want Hazazel?"

"Nothing much. I just got wind of some fallen angels doing something without Nii-san's permission, and I thought you might want some part of helping be stop them. You know, get to see what working alongside Grigori is like."

I frowned. Why would I want to see what working alongside Grigori was like? Could Hazazel be trying to recruit me as well? Great, and here I thought that I wouldn't have to deal with the fallen angel's recruitment.

Seeing my suspicious look, Hazazel smiled warily.

"I'm not planning anything sneaky. I just thought I'd be nice to have some company while I attack these guys. Don't worry; you'll have nothing to do with that actual battle. And I won't mention joining Grigori."

Hmm, well I suppose if that's the case then it's okay. But I can't help but wonder what Gabriel would think of this. She probably wouldn't approve but that doesn't matter. It's not like I joined that taskforce she's planning on setting up or anything. Heck, I didn't even join the Church!

But still, is it really safe for me to come?

"Is it safe for me to come? I mean, it's not like I have a weapon or anything."

Hazazel smiled, "It's fine. In the end I just plan on taking care of the entire thing myself. You might not believe it, but I'm actually pretty strong… though not as strong as Nii-san."

Well, if that's the case then I guess it's fine. Besides I might finally figure out a way to escape this how recruiting thing.

Still, I can't help but wonder how Hyoudou-san is doing…

And that's it. Not as long as I'd like it to be but I couldn't think of anything else for this chapter without going into the stuff I have planned for the next one. Anyways, I know it didn't have much going on but stick with in. In the next chapter James meets with Raynare, joining the Occult Research Club in their battle. Well then, see you next time.
