-Chapter 1: The Bizarre Life of Hyoudou Issei-
-Abandoned Factory, Kuoh's Outskirt-
"Sheesh, no matter how many times I did this, it never gets any comfortable."
I muttered while projecting a pair of metallic clackers in my right hand.
[Want to use me to finish this up quickly, partner?]
A voice came from my left hand.
"No, I don't want to use you unless it's absolutely necessary."
[Suit yourself]
The voice disappeared.
Seriously, that guy.
I can take care of this mission without getting wounded at all.
"The target is returning to its nest, huh?"
Looking at the large room inside the building, I can see two people.
One was a normal human, and the other was not so human.
"Tch, she brought a victim, huh?"
I clicked my tongue in displeasure.
I hate it when I have to often see people got kidnapped by these monstrosity.
Especially if they're going to be sacrificed that is.
One of them is a little girl with empty eyes, obviously the victim. And the other ones is a beautiful woman in her late twenties.
From what my intel told me, this Stray Devil I hunt was named Lischeit.
Not like I care.
But from that same intel, it's similar to a tsuchi-gumo aka spider demon who was once a normal human, but reincarnated into a devil by force before being experimented upon by her own twisted Master. Her Master turned her into an abomination being. One day, her Master was killed by her own hands in an uncontrollable rage after a failed experiment which caused her to be branded as Stray Devil. During her times as fugitive, she killed and ate many humans along her way and noticed one thing. Eating children and virgin woman allows her to temporarily revert back as human and becoming far stronger. At first, she felt disgusted, but soon that disgust become an addiction and in the end, just like any Stray Devil, she possess an insane lust for power.
Looking at her right now, I almost couldn't believe it.
Almost.
In my mercenary-like jobs I did, I've encountered many bizarre stuff to the point I'm not surprised from almost anything.
"Little girl, will you do a favor to this onee-san?"
The older woman asked.
Oh dear.
Here we go.
The little girl just nodded.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
A sound of marbles being dropped reverberated in the whole factory.
This alerts Lischeit as she turned around.
She saw a young man with a short, brown, unkempt hair wearing a black jacket and trousers with a red sleeveless shirt underneath. Simply said, delinquent-esque outfit.
And yes, that is I, Hyoudou Issei.
"Oops, I dropped my balls. Eh, there's someone here?"
I innocently muttered while picking up my balls and put them into my pocket.
"Ah, what might you be doing around this late, young man? Are you looking for something?"
She asked me calmly.
"No, I'm just taking an enthusiastic walk through the forest till I stumbled around here by accident. By the way, what are you doing too, miss?"
I asked that while walking closer.
"Oh, I just found this child lost here and going to take her home. You can leave this to me, young man."
She smiled.
But I can see that behind those smile of hers, I can see irritation and murderous intent.
"Really? Then, why did she has an empty eyes? And how could a woman of your age walking far away from the town and in the midnight? Hey, can you answer my curiosity?"
I look her face up close.
She didn't respond for a while.
Then...
She smiled.
"Ara, it seems that you know my true nature, human. But sadly, this is the place where you'll die."
Pushing the little girl away, she faced me.
The distance is only five meters.
The enemy is a powerful Stray Devil.
I'm doomed. Normally.
"I'll die? It's the opposite actually."
I snickered.
Click
She heard the sound of something clicked and saw that I did something surprising.
RATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA
Whipping out my P90 from out of nowhere, I rained her with hot leads.
After emptying the magazine, I threw the gun and walked closer to her mangled body, confirming it's death.
Then, it began. All of her joints snapped in an impossible angle and grotesque manner as blood splattered on the floor. From her waist, something bulging and burst out as another two pair of hands. Her hips separated into six part. Her face contorted as her mouth split into two and another pair of eyes appeared on her forehead. Then, her body enlarging and her limbs thickened. Then, in a loud moan, the transformation finished. Now, a monster with the size around one third of the factory stood.
Ah fuck.
This is why I hate this kind of mission.
"How dare you... I just wanted to eat this tasty human girl and you have to ruin it!"
She roared.
Touche.
Not like I understand her way of thinking though.
"Trace on."
Muttering the incantation, my legs were surrounded by several neon green glowing line.
"DIE!"
She threw her fist at me.
I simply leaped backward to avoid it.
Seriously, giant monster might look strong and menacing, but they're really suck thanks to their body proportion.
Not like I care.
My only current goal is to stop her.
"Good grief, I just can't take a break can't I?"
I muttered while whipping out my Desert Eagle from my jacket and shot her head.
"DIE!"
Well, that didn't work.
The .50 Cal bullet only dent her forehead a bit before falling down on the floor.
"It seems like you have a thickheaded head, get it?"
"Grrah!"
She punched at me again, but faster.
Luckily I managed to dodge at the last second.
Okay, not the best time to make a lame pun, I noted to myself.
Well, time to finish this quickly.
"Trace on!"
Another lines appeared on my right hand.
Putting some distance away from her, I took out a pair of clackers from my pocket.
"Su~ Ha~"
Taking a deep breath, my right hand enveloped by yellowish aura that travels into the pair of clackers.
"Eat this! Clacker Strike!"
Throwing the pair of clacker at her, she smirked.
"HAHAHAHA! What can your balls do t-"
SMASH!
The upper left side of her head was violently torn off after the pair of clacker passed it.
"Ha? What can my balls do what?"
I taunted her who is still shocked from the event.
"How dare you! Die!"
She charged at me.
Seriously, how cliche.
Why every damn monster I met always mutter that line?
Ignoring that thought...
This fight has gone too long already.
Now it's time for me to finish it.
"Trace on."
This time, no neon lines glowing at any part of my body.
But...
A pair of black and white sword appeared in both of my hands.
Kanshou and Bakuya, the twin married sword.
Dodging her sloppy attack, I cut all of her limbs like I cut chicken to pieces, but this time, the chicken is far bigger than me.
When she lost most of her limbs except her legs, she fell down on her pool of blood.
Since her state is too sad for me to look, I'm going to end her misery now. At least I'm no sadist to torture her despite what she did to her victims.
Arriving right beside her, I raised Kanshou in my right hand up high to decapitate her.
"Please... Don't kill me... I won't eat any humans anymore... Please..."
She begged me.
Err...
"Well, if you say so."
I rubbed the back of my head with my vacant left hand after I dematerialize Bakuya.
Then, I threw Kanshou to the space behind her.
"Now, if you'd excuse me, I want to take back that child."
Walking toward the child, I feel something is nagging on my back.
But when I arrived in front of the little girl...
"If you stand like that, you're going to die."
I said to the monster behind me who stood up and going to bite my head off.
"RAAAAAA! I'll kill you!"
Good grief, one should say kill when the deed has already happened.
She screamed as she moves her head toward my head, but...
BAM!
The upper part of her head exploded.
"I told you if you stand like that, you're going to die yet you won't listen and stay down."
I smirked.
"What? How could it possible!?"
"Remember that clackers I threw before? I purposely missed and lodged it onto the pillar. One of it's balls become an anchor while the other spun in place. Me throwing Kanshou earlier just to cut the string connecting those two, launching the spinning balls back toward you. Had you stay down and let me go, I might let you pass on quietly, but..."
I explained.
"Any last word?"
"Fuck you."
"No? Okay. Su~ Ha~"
I took a deep breath and leaped up...
"Holy Wave Overdrive!"
...To chop her head in half vertically with my hand.
"GUAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
Her agonizing scream can be heard as her body is slowly burned out by a cocktail of senjutsu, holy energy, and touki coursing through her body.
Another mission done.
With that, I called the 'cleaner' team and brought the little girl out.
Since she's just wearing a sleeveless dress, I took off my jacket and drape it over her to prevent her getting a cold at least until the 'cleaners' came.
-o-
-Kuoh Academy, Morning-
Nothing beats the atmosphere of calmness in the mor-
"Kyaa! Pervert!"
"Beat them all!"
"Yeah punch those deviant!"
"Issei-kun! Help!" x2
I facepalmed as I walked through the school gate.
The first thing I get in this morning is Matsuda and Motohama being chased thanks to their own antics.
Seriously these two stooges...
Just when I thought I could find normalcy in my daily lives...
"What are you two up to again? Chasing some skirts?"
I muttered when they came at me.
"Ah, it's Issei-senpai! Can you please give them to us? We want to beat those two."
"Yes!"
Said two girls wearing a kendo uniform and carrying shinai.
Morning practice, I think?
"Alright, what did these two stooges do this time?"
"They installed some cameras in the shower room of Kendo club."
Ugh...
What the hell.
Peeping girls isn't enough and now these two do something that might get themselves expelled.
"Wait a second please."
I tell the girl.
"Hey, you two."
I spoke at both of them who is slowly taking a step back while I talked to the girls.
"W-W-What is it, Issei-kun?"
Motohama asked.
"Why does it feel to us that you want to brutally kill us?"
Matsuda joined.
"Depends on your answer. Are they telling the truth?"
I spoke in a cold tone.
"Hey, Issei, my man, you surely want to see some boobs, right?"
"Yeah! You'd understand our feeling, right!?"
Both of them tries to alter the truth.
But I already know what it means.
BUGH!
I socked both of my fist to their stomach.
Without wasting any time, I dragged them by their collar and threw them at the kendo girls.
"They're all yours."
I said before taking my leave.
"Wait, Issei-senpai!"
"Hmm? What is it?"
I asked one of the girl.
"Knowing Issei-senpai is Issei-senpai, why are you still hang around these two perverts? Isn't it going to taint your name?"
"Well, it's fine as long as I don't follow their antics, right? Besides, I don't really care about what people say about me due to hanging out with those two. These two also rather fun if you ignore their perversion."
"I see..."
The girl muttered thoughtfully.
I just leave the scene and be on my way.
"Yo, Issei-kun!"
A voice belonged to the youth with short blonde hair and grey eyes called me.
Saji Genshirou is his name.
He's one of my friend and a member of the student council.
"Oh, it's you, Saji."
I greet him back.
"What the heck with that looks as if saying 'Ah, how bored I am for looking at him again and again'?"
"No, it's nothing. It's just my head always aches every time I walked into the school's gate."
Hearing that, Saji looked at the commotion happening on the school's gate.
"Guh, can't argue about that. But do you ever think of abandoning those two? Cause it'll solve your headache quickly."
"Easy for you to say, I'd say I've grown attached to them, but not affected from their antics."
"Well, at least that's one of the good points about you. Then let's go, I don't want to late into my class. The last thing I want is being scolded by Kaichou..."
He shuddered.
"Yeah..."
I nodded before following him.
...
Hm?
I felt like I was being watched by someone.
Let's just hope they won't take any weird action.
Meanwhile, in the student council room...
3rd Person POV
"So, is that the one you told me that you wanted to recruit in your peerage, Rias?"
The glasses girl asked to the crimson haired girl who stood in front of the window, seeing the interaction of the youth below her.
"Yes, Koneko told me yesterday that he smelled like a dragon and steel along with sensing some senjutsu and touki too, a strange one I say."
"As I thought..."
"What do you mean, Sona?"
"You know about one of my peerage, Saji Genshirou, right?"
"Ah, he is one of the close friend of Hyoudou Issei, huh?"
"When I ask him about Issei, he just replied... 'Kaichou, if I may, he is a kind person, but he is also someone who have an enigmatic presence around him. It's as if he is trying to hide something.'"
"I don't think he is a normal student despite his normal parentage..."
Rias muttered after hearing that.
"You just realized that?"
Sona facepalmed.
"What do you mean?"
"That guy, I heard some rumor about him."
"What kind of rumor?"
"You wanted to recruit him into your peerage yet you don't know anything about him?"
She facepalmed again.
Sona couldn't believe her friend, wanting to recruit someone without any solid information beforehand and only relying on vague information.
"Did you know what's his nickname around this school?"
"What nickname?"
"Kuoh's Ball Breaker?"
"Guh. I prefer if you reference it rather than saying it bluntly."
"Ah, the incident last year, right?"
"Yes, but the story is that one of the girl who was just going back late from her activity in Kendo Club meets several nasty delinquent who almost rape her, but Hyoudou-kun who is still a member of Kendo Club at that time beat them up senseless."
"So that's why they came back here..."
"Yes, not accepting that they're beaten by a single teenager, they amassed a group of forty street delinquent carrying many weapons to our school."
"Ah, that's when we almost use magic to handle them and planning to brainwash the entire student body, right?"
"Yes, but those forty were once again beaten. By that guy without even breaking a sweat and using only his fist and foot at that in front of the school's gate... and crushed their balls. That's the day he was christened by his current title. The only reason why he didn't get expelled was thanks to the testimony of that girl he saved."
"I see... No wonder he's called that. He is no doubt not a regular human to handle many mans at the same time alone."
"Rias, that's just sound wrong in many ways. But back to the point, do you still wants to recruit him, knowing that?"
"Of course, I'm not going to back down from this. Not when 'that' day is close."
She said while smiling devilishly.
"Really now, you're the one who'll take responsibilities should anything happen involving him."
Sona said before sighing.
Lunch break...
Ring Ring Ring Ring
The sound of bell ringing can be heard, signaling the start of lunch break. I took my boxed lunch from the bag.
"Yo, Issei. You may go first, I have to carry these to the student council before meeting you at the rooftop."
Gesturing at the pile of boxes beside his desk, Saji smiled wryly.
"Oh, I'll help you then. More helping hands should be fine, right? Besides, I feel bad for eating first."
I offered to take half of the pile.
"Honestly, you always helping people, huh?".
"Of course, if I can, I'll try to help everyone. At least when I'm not occupied with something."
"Well, I can't say anything if you said that, let's carry this to the student council room, Kaichou must be waiting."
Nodding at that, I carrying the boxes toward the student council room.
Student council room...
Knock Knock
"Kaichou, I'm entering."
Saji knocked on the door.
"Yes, you may come in, Saji-kun."
Came the reply.
Click
The sound of door being opened can be heard as Saji and I entered the room.
"Ah, excuse myself. I'm just helping Saji carrying these stuff."
I pardoned myself.
Seeing me, Sona's face turned to surprise for a second before returning to her usual stern face.
I wonder why.
"Yes, thank you for helping Saji carrying these stuff."
"Don't worry about it. Friends should help each other in their needs."
"Ah, Saji-kun. Why don't you and Hyoudou-kun eating here? Surely eating here will cut the time needed to return to the class when the lunch break ended."
"Yes, Kaichou!"
Saji replied enthusiastically.
Good grief, he really does all head over heels for Kaichou.
"Then, I'll take my lunch from the class."
After that, I took the boxed lunch from the class before returning to the student council room.
Meanwhile, Saji just bought a yakisoba bread.
When they've returned, all of the student council members was already gathered and sitting down around the table with their lunches. Sona who noticed them first urge them to sit down.
"Oh yeah, Issei. Are you planning to join any club in this term?"
Saji asked while unwrapping his yakisoba bread.
"I don't think so."
"Is that so? Then, why don't you join the student council? You'll surely be a great addition to our rank."
Hearing that, Sona was bewildered.
Again, why the heck that happened?
"While I'm honored that you've seen me like that. But I'll politely decline that offer. I don't think I'll fit in the student council. Having one of your member renowned as Ball Breaker ain't something you want."
"I see, that's too bad. Sad that someone as good as you couldn't join us."
Saji wryly smiled when saying that.
Crap, I feel bad.
The whole reason why I refused is due to some of my mission as mercenary of this town.
"Well, sorry about that."
I sincerely apologized.
After that, we're eating our respective lunches before leaving for the classes until only Tsubaki and Sona remained inside the room as the lunch break still has ten minutes to end.
-o-
-Hyoudou Household-
"I'm home."
I said while taking off my shoes.
Walking through the hall, I can smell something good.
"Oh, it's Issei. The dinner is ready soon, just go take a bath."
"Yes. What are you cooking, Kaa-san?"
"Oh, it's just a salisbury steak."
"It's that day, huh?"
Another voice came from behind me.
What?
Who is it!?
BUGH
I elbowed the culprit behind me.
"OMMMPPPPFFFFFHHHH!"
The culprit behind me is holding his stomach to endure the pain of being elbowed.
And that culprit is...
"Issei, you should get rid of that habit of yours..."
My father.
"And you should know that's impossible, Tou-san."
I said while helping him getting up.
Yeah, I kinda get a bit paranoid if someone suddenly gets close behind me without me noticing.
Kinda justified when some of my mission in the past got me attacked from behind, creating that sort of reflex inside of me.
"Dear, are you okay?"
"Ah, don't worry about that. I'm fine. Besides, today is the date when Archer came here carrying you two varmints after saving you from bullies."
My father replied before saying the latter half to me.
"Ha, I can handle myself even if Archer didn't come, you know?"
"Yeah, and getting beaten up badly."
"Says the guy who got down from one elbow strike."
"You two, stop it. Go take a bath, I'm almost done cooking dinner."
Mom interrupted.
Well, that can't be helped.
After that, I took a bath before eating our dinner and doing our own business afterward.
But as for me...
-o-
-Archer's House-
Creeaakkkk Click
The sound of the door opened as I entered the house.
Really now, that guy...
I stood in front of the picture with Archer, Irina, and myself on a wall.
Then, I took out my phone.
"Hello."
I said when the other guy on the line picked up.
"Who is this?"
The other guy grumbled.
"Hey, Archer, are you drunk? You sound pissed man."
"Oh, it's just Issei."
"Hey, don't 'Oh' me. Besides, who else would taking care of your damn house here except me or Iri who is now probably on the other side of the world?"
"Sorry, sorry. Hahaha, just joking. Anyway, what is it that you want to talk about?"
Sounding like a normal person, Archer asked.
Well, at least he's just joking.
"When will you come back? It's been two years, man."
"Well, I don't know. There's many shit going on lately here."
"Here?"
"I'm in Naples right now. A year ago, I saved this nun girl from being eaten by some sort of eldritch abomination in a weird ritual or something."
"Oh? That's quite a long time. By the way, what's that have to do with what I'm asking you exactly?"
"Nothing."
...
What the heck man...
"On the serious side, there's many supernatural activity around here and the church's branch here needs my assistance. That's why I can't go back yet. On the other side, how does your training go?"
"Ah, well, I can project around hundreds of normal blades and probably thirty to fifty if it's E to C ranked Noble Phantasm. B rank Noble Phantasm around twenty, but not too the A rank ones probably around five to ten, if I don't use their true ability which might emptied my reserve."
"It's not your projection. I know you're getting the hang of it, but I'm asking about 'that' and 'that'."
He asked.
The first that is my unique fighting style, the way of Holy Wave.
And no, this isn't Hamon or Spin from J*J*, but my bad naming sense to my ability and the coincidental function of them.
For me, a normal human with mediocre talent in magic and stuff despite after being 'awakened' by Archer, I can't simply copy Archer's fighting style, his style is his alone.
That's why I have to improvise.
During some of my travels with Archer in the past, I learned some martial arts of using senjutsu, touki, and harnessing holy energy. The latter one is the hardest since I have to clear my head from dirty thoughts in order to concentrate the power. Mind you, teenage with raging hormone isn't someone who can use it easily unless they enter the 'sage' mode. Not that I would like to depend on that kind of mode.
But fighting while switching between these three way of fight isn't effective.
So, I did something crazy.
I combined them all.
Resulting the birth of my unique ability.
Simply said, a cocktail of Senjutsu(Natural Energy), Touki(Battle Aura), and Holy Energy mixed together resulting in a disaster concoction to devils while still effective against other beings with life inside them.
The second one is...
[Partner, you're going to tell him about that?]
A voice came from my left hand again.
'Should I? I initially want to surprise him about it.'
[Nah, delaying it might get him the impression that you're taking too long to achieve it]
'True...'
[Just tell him anyway]
With that, I grabbed the phone again.
"About 'that' one, I already combined my fighting style with projection. While 'that' other ones..."
"What about the other one?"
"I already achieve it, Balance Breaker of my own version."
He was silent for a bit before beginning to talk again.
"...Tell me about it."
-o-
After long talk with Archer, I called the other person, but with a different phone.
"Hello? It's Irina Shidou here, who is this?"
The girl on the other line answered.
Time to give her my special greeting.
"Happy Joypy! Nice to Meetcha-py!"
"Ise-kun!"
She exclaimed.
"Yo, Irina. Short time no hear."
"Same with me, Ise-kun. It's quite boring here without you."
"Well, just deal with it. Just like Archer said, the path to be a hero sure is a hard one, hahahaha."
"Easy for you to say that when you're not restricted to go anywhere."
"That might be true, but as a Highschool student, I can't really going anywhere unless it's a long vacation."
"Well, seems like we're not different then."
She cheerfully said.
"By the way, you're fine there? I heard European foods are crap."
"Guh, it's not that bad if you're used to it... Probably. Beside that, I'm fine here. Living in a dorm sure is boring though. How about you?"
"Just bear with it. With me here? Nothing much. Probably doing some mission once in a two week since Kuoh is a relatively quiet town."
"I see... Trying to be a hero is hard, huh?"
"That's right. If it's easy, everyone can be one!"
"That's true. Hahaha..."
With that, we keep chatting about trivial stuff until Irina call it quits since she got to sleep for tomorrow's class. Well, same with me, but after I cleaned Archer's house.
-o-
Meanwhile, in the student council room...
3rd Person POV
"Rias, although I won't comment about your habit watching that boy, can we discuss about this important matter first?"
Sona asked while massaging her temple.
"If it's about the Fallens who came here recently."
"I was already told you right? I would use them for my plan to recruit that boy."
"*sigh* I'm kind of hoping that you won't resort to such method. Your plan is simple and effective, but hold too much of a risk should it fail."
"Just trust me on this one, Sona."
Rias confidently said.
"Rias, my one last warning, don't try to take a power beyond what you can handle."
"Ara? Of course I know that, Sona. But didn't you try to do the same with that boy should I make no move toward him?"
Rias said teasingly.
"I won't lie about that, he is very tempting to become my peerage and he would be a great addition to the student council should he join me. But-"
"But?"
"I'm trying to recruit him using a slow, but sure and low-risky way instead of your high-stake gamble way. Even if that plan succeed, I have no doubt that he could resent you who reincarnate him using such method."
"You're worrying too much, Sona."
"No, you just don't take things seriously, Rias. That will come back to bite you one day."
Sona said while fixing her glasses position.
"Of course not, I'm going to treat him just like a family after he joined my peerage."
"*sigh* Whatever..."
"Then, I'll take my leave, Sona." Rias said while walking toward the door.
Click
Tsubaki, vice president of the student council and Sona's queen opened the door before closing it as Rias exited the room.
"Tsubaki."
"Yes, Kaichou."
"I want to ask your opinion about something."
"What is it, Kaichou?"
"How high the chances of Rias' plan succeed in recruiting that boy?"
"I'd say pretty high, but I'm guessing that's not the answer you wanted to hear."
"Yes. I also agree that her plan is easy, but too many unknown factor to the point that even if Rias manage to recruit him, something bad still going to happen."
"I agree. While some people may take it quite well after being turned into a reincarnated devil, some people may not be the same. That's why most stray devils are a reincarnated ones."
"As I thought, I should persuade Rias further so that she didn't make that fatal mistake." Sona sighed.
"No, you've been convincing her to drop the idea since the time she laid her eyes upon him. Let it be that she is the one who will take the responsibility should anything happen." Tsubaki said in a stern tone.
"Let's just hope that her plan didn't backfire or cause even more problem."
-o-
-After School, On The Way To Hyoudou Household-
"*yawn*"
I yawned while walking home.
Seriously, the lesson today was pretty dull.
The only thing that makes this day not being fully boring is the fact that I get to see Matsuda and Motohama got pummeled by Kendo Club again.
"Umm..."
Suddenly a voice from behind him brought his attention.
!?
Since when did she?
"Yes?"
I tried to ask politely.
Turning around, I can see the source of the voice. It was a girl with long black hair and having a great figure.
"Hyoudou Issei-kun, right? Please go out on a date with me tomorrow!"
...
What?
"Sorry, do I know you?"
I asked.
"Ah, how careless of me~ My name is Amano Yuma, Issei-kun!"
She said cheerfully.
But beneath that facade, I can see that she hid something from me. My sense told me she isn't a human.
"Then, why do you want to date me?"
"Ummm... it was a love at first sight..."
She replied while blushing.
Under normal circumstances, I would say 'Thank you God! ! !' but this development is too suspicious to pass.
A girl asking for a date when she doesn't know who I am?
Any sane girl wouldn't do that.
But first...
"Sorry, Yuma-san. I appreciate the thought, but I can't."
"Ehhh~ Why?"
"We just met now, I don't know anything about you and even if you have a love at first sight with me, there are many people who is better than me out there."
"Too bad~"
After that, I leave her and continue walking home.
Definitely suspicious.
-o-
-Hyoudou Residence, Night-
Thanks to the late train, I got home this late... When I was already near my house, I could sense something off.
There is no people around.
No, that's natural since it's night, but the ramen shop nearby is open with several bowls of new ramen on the table.
Definitely nothing normal.
THUMP! THUMP!
!?
A bounded field!?
A stray devil attack here!?
I often encounter these kind of field during my mission hunting stray devils around the globe during vacation. Yeah, a stray devils that was ranked A and above.
Shit.
I'll have to check if kaa-san and tou-san alright!
But before I could take another step forward, I can feel the presence of someone behind me.
"Ara...ara... So, this is the arrogant boy who rejected me earlier."
Suddenly, a girl's voice brought his attention.
I looked up, only to find a girl in some sort of bondage S&M suit standing on top of an electric pole.
What brought his attention wasn't her attire, but a pair of black wings from her back.
'Fallen angel, huh?' Issei muttered.
I heard these beings from Archer. They're angel who was corrupted and fell from Heaven due to the sins they've made. But that doesn't mean that they've lost their power, they still possess a power to produce Holy Light, although not as strong as when they're still an angel(with the exception of six wings and above).
"So, what is your business coming to me personally, Fallen Angel?"
I tried to politely ask.
"Hoo? It seems that you've already noticed that I'm a Fallen Angel since the first time we've met."
"Nope, but I admit you have a presence too abnormal for a human and too different for a devil."
"Well, you are definitely an interesting person, but..."
"You'll die here."
FWOOOSSSHHH
Suddenly, a spear of light flew toward me in a speed too fast for the eyes to follow.
I didn't even move an inch from my position, yet the spear didn't hit my stomach. I wonder why?~
"What?! How did yo-"
"Really now, what's your big idea for trying to attack me like that?"
I said while twirling the spear of light in my left hand.
"This spear possess a great amount of light inside, but sadly it's not aerodynamic and rather slow."
I commented.
"But how did a mere human able to-?!"
"Hold it? It's simple, combination of touki, senjutsu, and holy power made it possible."
I smirked.
She looks at me in disbelief.
"What is it? Scared with my awesome power?"
I taunted her.
"You weak humans! You must've used a trick! That must be Sacred Gear! There's no way a mere weak human able to deflect my attack or capable of such feats!"
Hook, line, and sinker.
"You know what? I think you are just all bark no bite. Even a D rank stray devil poses more threat than you do."
I taunted her further.
"You bastard! How dare you compare me to those inferior beings!"
She yelled while summoning a larger spear of light and threw it to me, completely forgetting that I still hold the earlier spear of light.
'Ddraig!'
[Hmm!]
A gem appeared on the back of my left hand.
BOOST!
TRANSFER!
Suddenly, the spear of light in my left hand got doubled in size and packed double the power, equaling or even surpassing the one she threw.
"Here I go!"
WHOOSH!
I threw the spear back, colliding it together before both blew up at the same time.
My sacred gear, Boosted Gear is a longinus type Sacred Gear with the ability to double my power every ten seconds till my limit, transferring it to others, and the balance breaker mode of it is well... Let's just say I'll use it if I fought something I can't defeat by my power alone.
"Tch!"
She clicked her tongue in displeasure as she realized that she is at disadvantage.
Suddenly, another fallen angel came.
"What are you doing, Raynare? I thought you were already finished him off."
Suddenly, another fallen angel appeared beside her.
"Tch, what are you doing here, Kalawarner?"
Raynare clicked her tongue in annoyance.
"Seeing you since you haven't returned after merely going to kill a mere human."
The fallen named Kalawarner replied.
"He gave me more problem than I expected."
"Is that so? Want me to help you?"
Kalawarner said while creating a spear of light in her right hand.
I just smirked while preparing to project my steel balls.
"Stop it, Kalawarner. We should go back to kill him later. We have to fulfill our main objective. If that's done, it'll be easy to kill him."
Seems like they knew fighting me without knowing anything about me will be bad.
"Well, whatever."
Kalawarner muttered in indifferent tone and dispersing her spear of light.
"The next time we met, you'll die!"
Raynare yelled as she and Kalawarner disappeared in a purplish light.
I just give her a one finger salute as she leaves.
Suddenly, the bounded field lowered as soon as both of the fallen angel leave.
Seems like a trouble is going to happen soon.
Though, for now...
"So, how long are you two going to keep following me?"
I asked while looking at the bushes behind me.
...
Nobody responded.
"Then, if that's the case... !"
I projected a steel ball in my right hand.
"Su~ Ha~"
Taking a deep breath...
WOOOSSSHHH!
I immediately threw steel ball toward the tree behind the bushes.
BOOM!
A loud noise similar to explosion can be heard.
Few seconds later, two person leaped out from the bushes.
"Whoops! My hand slipped! Sorry about that, Number One Popular Guy and the School Mascot."
I said out loud when seeing two devils who followed me earlier.
Yuuto Kiba, who is holding a western black sword and Toujou Koneko, who stood beside him in a stance.
"Am I right? Nyohoho~"
I added while laughing.
Behind them, the tree behind that bush fell down.
Looking at the tree, their face turned into a shocked expression when they saw a softball sized steel balls spinning in the stump of the fallen tree.
"Let's talk."
I said while keeping up my smile.
Without even reading their thought, their expression obviously shout it loud.
'Oh crap' indeed.
