Hello again :D as usual thank for the reviews XD.
Le fay, Ravel, and Rossweiss most likely enter Yarai's harem, as for gabriel I'm not sure yet, gonna read her profile and see how things go.
Thanks for ariboku34 for suggestion, I already planned how Eve make an appearance later. If Eve become Yarai's familiar, what should I made her? A shapeshifter or just original, a humanoid nanomachine?
Sayuki isn't OC, she character from a game (Visual novel). You can see her profile at the end of this chapter. And yes, she is in harem as I stated in chapter 2.
Chapter 6: The beginning
(Yarai POV)
"...dou-san"
I vaguely heard someone called my name.
I hope they stop, I try to get some sleeps here. Didn't they know I spent all nighter by watching Anime?
...Of course they didn't, I would be worried if they did.
I slightly raise my face from the desk and half-heartly open my right eye.
The next thing I saw is an irritated teacher and amused classmates. "Solve this problem"
He said while point at certain blank spot on blackboard, Normally I would be comment of his semi-bald head which shining under the sun like parabola.
"If you wrong..."
"X(-2)" I answered then slumped my head again on the table before he can confirm my answer.
"C, correct" I heard he bedgrudgingly accept and continue his lecture while I go back to sleep until lunch break.
"aah...I love this school" I currently lying myself under a shade of tree. The grass are soft, the breeze also perfect.
And most of all the scenery are easy for eyes.
"Nee, did you that movie last night?"
"Want to go to karaoke on the way home?"
"Are you serious? That's really funny"
Girls, girls, and more girls. For me who taste all-boys school's life this situation is heaven.
Kuou Academy, it was all-girl's school until a couple of years ago turned into co-Ed school. Therefore most of 3rd year are female.
The ratio between girls and boys are 8/2 for 3rd year students and for 2nd year are 7/3. I'm a 2nd year student by the way.
As it was formerly all-girls school, naturally girls have much stronger authority than boys. The student council also a girl along with majority its members.
To be frank, I choose this school because of the girls. I don't want repeat my previous highschool life, I want to study in a classroom filled with girls' fragrance instead of guys' sweat thank you very much.
Mom told me to reconsider because as we know Kuou Academy are devil's territory, and they're not a very big fan of Exorcist or anything related to it.
But my resolve are as firm as coral, my dream is at stake after all.
What my dream you ask?, Building a harem,duh. I even shared man to man promise with Ise who have same dream that we will life every man's dream someday.
This world's supernatural side allowing polygamy after all, when I heard that I almost hyperventilating.
Talk about culture shock.
Moving on, to reassure mom I would be alright I made a bet with her.
If I can spend one year at Kuou without being found out I can stay there until graduate, if not then I will listen to her.
The result? Me being able to relax here should be answered the question.
I already mastered how to hide my true strength, I got Nekoshou who had very sharp sensor living with me for god' sake.
Everyday I try to hide from her until suppressing my presence become natural for me.
I fairly popular if I say so myself, though not as popular as Kiba Yuuto who nicknamed as 'Prince Charming' from girls and 'Enemy of Men' from boys but still popular nonetheless if those love letter say something.
Though I reject all of them.
I love girls but that doesn't mean I would always say yes for them. I like having girls as friend but I would only consider them in my harem if I found them attractive, and I'm not just talking in appearance department.
As of now, the girls in my target list are...zero.
Not that there's no attractive girl here, in face there's so many of them but I don't feel attracted to them for some reason.
The ones I found myself interested are all devils, therefore I didn't make any advance to any of them.
Why you ask? Is it because I'm human and they devil? If you forgot, I have a sister in England who learning to be an Exorcist. Exorcists and Devils, you get my point.
"How peaceful" I looked at the leaves above me that fluttered by the wind, I think I just take a nap.
"YARAI-SAAAN!" Just as I closed my eyes I heard familiar's voice, I open my left eye.
He is Hyoudou Issei, I just called him Ise. One word to describe him he is a pervert, a big one at that.
I already known him even before Irina goes to England, we often playing by three when we kids. We are what you called 'Childhood friend'.
"Yarai-san, you remember Yuuma-chan right?" Ise asked with expression that unusual for him, desperation.
"What are you talking about?" I twitched my eyebrow, acting confused.
He looks deflated by my question. "Oh, never mind. Bye" He walk away dejectedly.
'Sorry Ise' I apologize mentally.
Of course I remember about Amano Yuuma or whatever her true name, a fallen angel who become Ise's 'girlfriend'.
I can tell she up to no good the first time I laid my eyes on her when Ise introduced her to me, I who already mastered poker face able to see through her mask easily.
From what I saw, she most definitely after Ise's sacred gear.
I don't know if she realize about Ise who had dragon reside within him or just act the moment she noticed Ise have a sacred gear.
I knew Ise have a sacred gear but I only knew about the dragon just around six month ago when I taking a walk with Sayuki in her cat form.
On the way I meet Ise who on his way home from buying another porn magazine, I can tell just by the big grin on his face while he holding a wrapped book like it was some sort of treasure.
We talking briefly, once we parted way Sayuki told me that Ise has aura of dragon even though its faint.
This is why I let Ise get killed by his 'girlfriend' last night.
By having a dragon inside him, he won't able to live like a normal human.
I noticed that Toujou Koneko, a Nekoshou who most likely Rias Gremory's servant often following him around secretly.
Gremory considered as one of most kind toward their servants, I conclude that true by looking at her servants who able to live without pressure.
Therefore I thought I can leave Ise in her hands.
As for the fallen angel, as much as I wanted nothing more than fill her bullet hole I won't. She is someone who need to be ended by Ise's own hands if he wanted a closure.
Once the school is over, I gathered my things and put it in my bag.
At the gate, I saw Ise along with his pervert buddies Matsuda and Motohama walking together.
I smiled when I saw Ise didn't so depressed anymore, those two must be invite Ise to watching some porns video or something along the line.
I turn my body and walked in different direction from them.
I walk at leisure pace toward my home, talk about my home I'm sure she already waiting.
True enought, I saw a girl around my age waiting in front of my house like usual.
She has shoulder-length white hair with black ribbon tied behind her head and a pair of reddish brown eyes, also she wears a yellow pendant that shaped like cat's paw. Her attire consist a white shirt, short purple pants, black stockings, and brown boots.
She is Shidou Sayuki, a nekoshou who reside within my house. As a matter in fact, I know the truth about her only when 'that' happen one year ago which I won't I save the story for later.
"Okaeri (welcome home), Yarai"
"Tadaima (I'm Home), Sayuki".
This our routine ritual, once she's done with her own school she always waiting in front of house gate.
She goes into different school, an all-girls school much to our dismay.
She can't go into Kuou Academy with me because her presence would be found out right away by the devils thanks to her fairly large chakra reserve, and she prefer remain hidden for now.
The only school that close with our home are the all-girl school which impossible for me to enter without cross-dressed which Sayuki seriously consider.
Adamantly refusal is my answer, indeed it's nice to surrounded by the girls all the time but even so I had no intention to become a Trap soon nor much later.
After the usual greeting we enter house together.
"Ara ara, as usual, you two are close" Mom said in teasing tone when we passed by living room.
"Obviously, who won't attracted to someone as awesome as me" I said with joking manner.
Even without looking I can tell Sayuki sighed by me and mom usual antics.
"Tadaima, Misako-san"
When Sayuki said that, mom said with sulking tone.
"How many times I told you to call me Okaa-san?".
Indeed, I wonder how many times. Mom said its fine to call her 'mother' but Sayuki always refuse politely.
"You would call me 'Okaa-san' sooner or later anyway, so why not start now?" Mom said, made Sayuki look at her curiously.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"You two dating right?" Mom said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"W,Wha...?!"
I snickered silently seeing the usual 'Kuudere' thrown off like this, she took a step back while her face heating up.
Looks like from Mom's perpective we two are lovers, not that I mind the idea or rather it sound nice.
"Am I wrong?" Mom tilt her head.
"OF COURSE!, Yarai you also say something!" She turned the conversation toward me, bad move Sayuki-chan.
"Where do you want to spend our honeymoon?" I said with fake serious face
"W,WH...?!"
"I recommend somewhere with fresh air and has pleasant scenery"
"As expected from Kaa-san, that's a great idea"
"Who do you think I am? I got experience young man".
Mom and I smiling ear to ear while talking.
"I...I going to take a bath!" Sayuki said as she ran away.
"Looks like we teased her too much" Mom said while stifling giggle.
"That just show how much fun her reaction is". I said looking at her previous direction.
"Ittekimasu (I'm going) " Next morning, I walked out from my house in my School uniform as usual.
When I passed my house's front yard I see Sayuki crouched on the ground surrounded by lots of cats.
Sayuki loves cats, maybe because she a Nekoshou the cats also love her. She often seen playing with cats in area like she is now.
One small white cat nested on her right shoulder comfortably as Sayuki pet her with her right hand while her another hand stroke a balck cat's chin who happily licked her finger. She always had gentle expression when she playing with the cats.
"Sayuki, I'm off to school" I said and she nodded her head toward my direction as she said simple "Itterashai (Go and come back)"
When I saw the school's gate ,I noticed people looking at the same direction with disbelieving look.
It can't be helped though because something bizarre happen at the school's gate, if I don't know the circumstances I also would be shocked.
Ise walking to school together with one of 'Kuou Great Onee-sama' Rias Gremory while carrying her bag like her servant he is.
"Why is someone like him..."
"Why is someone vulgar like him next to Rias Onee-sama..."
Both boys and girls in every direction directed their murderous aura toward Ise shrinking by pressure before he smiling lecherously.
"This must be a dream, yes a very bad dream..." said one girl in denial before she fainted in shock.
Once Ise and Rias-senpai enter the school and part way, Matsuda and Motohama immediately appear and give Ise twin punch which leave mark on Ise's face.
I chuckled when Ise instead of fight back he taunt them with a face 'I know something you don't', good job Ise.
Then for whatever reason those three involve in some rock-paper-scissor game, I shake my head amused by their antic as I leave them alone.
(3rd person POV)
"Is that the boy?"
Risa looked at the owner of voice who leaned against pillar while crossing her arms.
She is her childhood/bestfriend, Sona Sitri or by her alias Sona Shitori.
"Yes" Rias looked at her new servant fondly from above "It feel like I just had an idiot little brother".
Rias then leave while Sona still in her previous place.
Sona looked at Ise for a while with calculating look before her eyes darted toward dark brown haired boy who walking with his back facing her, her eyes narrowed throught her glasses.
Once the boy out of her sight, she silently walk away to her class.
(Yarai POV)
Lunch break, I leisurely ate my lunch on the school's rooftop. While it's nice eating under a tree, I also like high place. It's nice to 'look down' (in both meaning) on people sometimes.
My lunch consist a couple of breads and a bottle of milk which I purchased in cafetaria, I can always get breads I want without difficulity and involve in cafetaria 'warzone'.
From the side of my eye, I noticed Ise walking together with Kiba toward the back of school where ORC (Occult Research Club) located.
Looks like Ise finally will meets his master.
'So even that Ise finally step inside this world's another side' I swallow the last of my bread before I stand up.
I would love to burn the trash in my hand with small fire magic just for 'cool pose' sake if I didn't notice something watching me.
So I just crushed them into a ball and throw it into trash can without letting them know I noticed them.
(Ise POV)
Once Rias-buchou finished her explaination, wings sprout from her back and everyone around me.
They different from fallen angel's black wings, their wings shaped like bat wings.
PA!
Suddenly I feel some kind of sensation on my back.
Looking over my shoulder, I see the same black wings sticking from my back.
...Are you serious? So I'm devil now? Not a Human anymore?
CLAP!
I snap out from my musing when Rias-senpai clap her hands.
"Now that the explaination over, Let's introduce everyone anew. Yuuto"
Kiba smiles at me after Rias-senpai calls his name.
"My name is Kiba Yuuto, as you already know, I'm a second year like you, Hyoudou Issei-kun. Umm, I'm a devil too, nice too meet you".
"...First year. ...Toujou Koneko. Pleased to make your acquaitance. ...I'm a devil too".
Toujou Koneko-chan bows her head with emotionless face.
"My name is Himejima Akeno, and I'm a third year. I'm also the vice-president of this ORC. Nice to meet you. Even though I'm like this, I'm also a turned into devil just recently. Ufufu".
Himejima-senpai bows her head very politely.
Lastly, Rias-senpai waves her crimson hair and says it very directly.
"And I'm their master as well as being a devil from the house of Gremory, Rias Gremory. My house holds the rank of a Duke. Let's get along from now on, Ise".
Looks like I'm in really an unthinkable situation.
"By the way, You might be able to start a life where you can become popular with girls you know?"
My thought stopped by those words.
"How!?"
Words started came out from my mouth before I triedd to think about it. Even thought this might be work of demonic-power senpai cast on me, my perverted guts overshadowed those thought.
"Majority of the pure Devils were killed in the war that took place long time ago. Because of that, Devils started to desperately gather servants. Well, Devils don't have the strength or the influence they originally had when they leaded their armies. Even so, we need to keep on increasing the number of the Devils. Just like humans, the Devils split in genders of male and female and are able to give birth. But even with normal birth, it will take a lot of time to get back to the same population as before. After all, Devils have a very low birth rate. Then we won't be able to stand up against the Fallen Angels. So we find humans who seem to have potentials and make them into Devils. As our servant, that is."
"So, I'm servant after all."
"Oh, don't make a face like that. Now, I will get to the point. Since this only increases the number of servants, it doesn't increase the number of powerful Devils. So the Devils decided to give chances for power to reincarnated Devils— those who were reincarnated from a human. They decided to give peerage to reincarnated Devils as well, as long as they are powerful. Because of that, there are many Devils in humans' society. There are also numbers of Devils like myself who came to humans' society as well. Ise, even though you haven't realised it, I'm sure you have passed through some Devils in this town."
"So Devils were always nearby then!?"
"Yes. Though there are humans who can distinguish which ones are Devils and those who can't. A person with a strong greed or a person who wants to get help from Devils usually can distinguish us strongly. We are usually summoned by the ones who can distinguish between them, through the leaflet with magic-circle that we give out. There are people like you, Ise, who can distinguish Devils but don't believe in our existence, but majority of them usually believe it if they see our demonic-powers."
So the reason I able to summon senpai because I had a strong greeds?!, though I can't deny it since it's true.
From what I heard, it must be difficult things, but none of that matters now.
The important thing is that there is also a chance for me as well!
"T,Then! That means I can also get a peerage depending how i do things!?".
"Yes, it's not impossible. Of course, it would take a lot of time and efforts to archieve it though".
"Uoooooooooooooooooooooh!"
I shout inside the clubroom with a joy, I feel manly tears streaming from my eyes.
"Are you serious!? Me!? I'm able to make my own harem!? I, I can have sex with them as well, right!?"
"Yes, I think it's fine if it's woth your servants".
It takes everything for me not to faint on the spot.
Impossible. Something like that is actually possible!?
In the real world and also as a human, it's really hard to build your own harem.
There's no way you can gather herds of girls if you are just an ordinary human.
That's because the situation I am currently in is bad.
I don't even have a single girlfriend. Well, I did, but I was killed by my ex-girlfriend.
It's different now! Now I can…!
"Uooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh! Being a Devil rocks! Hell yeah! I can't calm myself any more! I can probably throw away my porn magazines that I am secretly hiding..."
I stopped what I was about to say, and then started thinking about the decision I'm about to make.
"No. Not the porno magazines. Not that. I can't throw that away. That's my treasure. I could still use that until my mum finds out about it! This and that is a different issue. Yeah. It's a different issue!"
"Fufu. This boy really is funny."
Rias-senpai is laughing as if she finds me really amusing.
"Ara ara. It's just like you said Buchou. He does make me feel like, "I think I have a very idiotic brother now. Ufufu"
Even Himejima-senpai is laughing while saying "Ufufu".
Ahaha, she is kind of saying bad things about me.
"Anyway, Ise. You are all right with being my servant, right? If you have potential, then you will eventually stand out. And then, you might be able to receive a peerage."
"Yes, Rias-senpai!"
"Wrong. You will have to call me 'Buchou'."
"Buchou? Can't I call you Onee-sama?"
I got carried away and ask her.
I always wanted a "Onee-sama". It's not even a yuri situation, but all of the guys have a desire to call an older beauty a "Onee-sama".
Rias-senpai thought about it seriously for a while, and then shook her head.
"Hmm. That also sounds wonderful, but since I operate mainly in the school, being called Buchou has a better ring to it. This is Occult Research Club after all, and everyone here also calls me that."
"Okay! Then, Buchou! Teach me how to be a Devil!"
At my words, Buchou puts on a devilish smile. It seems like she is truly happy.
"Fufufu, good reply. Good boy, Ise. Okay, I will change you into a man."
Buchou starts to touch my chin with her fingers.
O-Onee-sama! It's my Onee-sama!
I will awaken as a Devil while serving under her from now on! No, I will rise up!
This should be fine!
After all, I can't revert back to being a human any more right? Then, I will just have to walk straight ahead!
I've already accepted the situation I am in.
It might sound stupid, but its fine I guess. I have already convinced myself.
It's more like my perverted guts are functioning to the MAX! It's also because my tension is high too.
I'm relieved that I'm a guy who works for his ambition towards sex!
Rather than thinking about the new world I stepped my foot in, I will just enjoy my current life.
"I'm going to become a Harem-King!"
'Yarai-san, I finally can see the bright light on my path' I grasped my fist while looking at ceiling, as tears poured like a dam.
"I suppose...I needs to to keep me being a devil as a secret, right?"
"Of course, we can't tell our identity to normal humans"
"Not even a single one?"
"Not even I single one". Buchou said with finality.
"I see..."
"Ise, I understand that you want at least tell your parent..."
"Umm, no. I had no intention to tell my parent about this"
I wave my hands to deny it.
Buchou raised her eyebrow "Then who?"
"Its Yarai...Shidou Yarai-san, my childhood friend and the person that shared same dream with me".
Then I remembered something from my past, at that time I pass it as a dream but now that I think about it again. Supernatural exist so...
"Buchou, Is it possible for human to defeat devil?"
Everyone in the clubroom looked at me suddenly.
"Ah no! I don't mean it as insult. It's just..."
"Just...what? You can tell me, Ise"
"I think...I already meets a devil before"
"What?!"
Everyone tensed at my words.
"Tell me more about it!"
Rias-buchou demanded, Its not something I want to hide so I just tell them what I saw.
"It was when I still a 1st year middle school student, I always walk back home together with Yarai-san until we parted way. One day I locked in gymnasium until night because I take a nap there, and sensei didn't notice I was there."
That was embarrasing, I can hear Himejima-senpai giggled.
"I only able to get out when Yarai-san open the door, he said my Kaa-san told him that I still not come back. I don't know how he found out my location because he says it's a secret and won't tell me. And on our way home, it happened...".
"What happened?"
"Suddenly a huge beast-like creature fall from sky in front of us as it looking at us hungrily".
Rias-buchou put a thinking pose, I don't know what's she thinking about but she has a very serious expression.
"What happened after that?"
"That was all I remember, next thing I notice I on my bed. Kaa-san tell me that Yarai-san carried me home and said I passed out because of hunger"
"I always thought it was a dream but now..."
I rub my head in confusion.
"I understand Ise, I will look about this case. But tell me Ise, what is...Shidou Yarai was it? Is there something different about him on the next morning?"
I shook my head.
"No, he asked me if I was alright like a normal person would. Never mentioned about the creature"
"I see, anyway Ise. Left this matter to me, you just concentrate on your job".
"Hai! Buchou!"
(Yarai POV)
On my way home, I passed shopping district to buy new supply of milk that Sayuki loved.
Then I saw Ise called out to people and handing them a leaflet. Looks like he already started his first job.
"Yo, Ise. When did you get a part-time job?"
I called out to him while waving my hand. He looked at me, I can tell he nervous when he saw me. Not that I blame him, it must be nerve-wracking meets your friend when you recently turned in to devil.
"Y, Yarai-san, what are you doing here?"
I show him the plastic bag contains milks.
"Just buying the usual Sayuki's weekly milks supply".
Ise never seen Sayuki's human form of course, when sometimes he visit my house, Sayuki would stay at cat form until he leave.
"Oh I see, I still wondering why she always ignoring me". Ise said as he slumped his shoulder depressingly.
I laughed as I grip his shoulder encouragingly.
"What's that by the way?" I asked with fake curiosity.
"O, oh this..." He slightly trailed off. Seeing it's enough to tease him, I decided to back down.
"Oh, look at the time" I open my cellphone to check the time "I needs to go home now, bye"
"Ah yeah, bye".
I leave Ise to continue his job again.
I walk in leisure pace until I stop when I feel something.
I close my eyes, sharping my other senses. I faintly sense a devil's aura, and as I walk in my house direction the aura become stronger.
But it's not from my house, instead it was directed from an abandonen factory not far from my house.
Its not unusual for devil to walk near my house, I leave them alone because they didn'y poses any threat, I don't think they even know my house. So its just their usual patrol.
But this devil has murderous aura mixed in his presence.
"Looks like Sayuki needs to wait for a while for her milk".
I changed my direction toward the devil's location by leap from roof to roof.
I put my hand inside my uniform and pulled Hades that chained with seal, I remove the chain as I ran.
I can't let something that dangerous near my home.
"Whoever you are, you sure have a bad luck by choosing place near my family".
If you read the Light Novel, then you should be noticed there's part from LN I put here. I write this while reading the LN after all, so I get the events right since it's been a while I read DxD volume 1.
This is Sayuki's brief profile:
