Chapter 3
[IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!]
When I woke up, it was already morning.
What is the meaning of this?! Did I have a bad dream again?
That has to be a dream, right? Even though, everything looks real to me…
But I'm right here, sleeping on my bed, and woke up to an alarm clock with the yandere voice. Everything points out to me dreaming.
This time though, I wasn't being skewered by a she-devil who wants to eat me, I was being stabbed to death by a psychotic priest who calls me a devil of all things…
I shook my head.
Why am I always seeing those kinds of things?!
If I remember correctly, I was being chased around the town by a bunch of gangsters that made me leave my food that I had already bought, and after some time, I stopped by near the church and the psycho priest came by to greet me and by some shitty logic, wants to kill me-.
Then I realized the situation I was in.
-I was naked.
I don't even have anything on me, not even my underwear!
What the hell is this?! I don't even remember going home at all! Did I have a memory gap or something? I'm too young for that!
I don't even have a habit of sleeping naked either! What is just happening to me?
"Ise, wake up or you'll be late!"
My mother's voice came from downstairs, just like every morning.
"I know, I'm coming down already!"
Kuh… it's no use thinking about what just happened right now. I should just go ahead and take a shower briefly. No risk on getting my mother breathing down on my neck this early in the morning, especially since I don't even remember coming home last night.
…
Come to think of it, Mom may know something about it. I don't have a key on me, and I doubt that I could even sleep on the house if she or father, if he's at home, opened the door for me. Maybe I should ask her about it later.
"Hey kaa-san." I called mom, not even sure how to bring this up without potentially getting her suspicious. "How did I… ah… get home last night? I didn't quite… um… remember? Ehehehehe." I smiled goofily as I scratched the back of my head.
Mom suddenly stopped eating as she looked hard at me.
Shit. So something did happen after all?
"Last night?" She then put on a thinking pose as she started to speak. "I remember opening the door early in the morning because somebody brought you back home, fast asleep!" She put on a glare that struck fear deep down in my heart. "What an unsightful thing you have done, being brought home by a girl!"
Eh? I was brought home by a girl?
"Yes!" My mother said heatedly as she slammed the table with her hands. "She said that you fell asleep during your club activities at night and she made the effort of dragging down your worthless body all the way from the park in the center of the town! You should be ashamed of yourself!"
What? Club Activities? Me? But I didn't join any clubs!
"I was surprised myself, you being a member of the- what's the club name again?" My mother pondered before her eyes widened as if she remembered something. "Ah yes, the Occult Research Club. I didn't know you were interested in the occult, but if you are into it, then I will not stop you." She nodded happily, as my eyes widened at the name.
Of all the clubs, the Occult Research Club? The club with Rias Gremory-senpai and Himejima Akeno-senpai? The extremely popular club that is composed of some of the most popular students of the academy? The club that many students tried to join and failed because they have extreme filtering exam? That Occult Research Club?!
And my mom said I was a member? Is this a dream?! Or is it some kind of a prank?!
"The beautiful redheaded girl, who had said was your club president, told me that you have your first occult investigation happened at that church and you fell asleep in the middle of it. " She shook her head. "Quite a shame, even for a pervert like you, falling asleep in the presence of a beautiful girl like that."
Keh, even my mother calls me a pervert. Is there no deeper shame than this? And the redheaded girl mother spoke of… there's only one redheaded girl in the academy, Gremory-senpai. I know for a fact that mother didn't know about Gremory-senpai either. Could she be telling the truth? Did Gremory-senpai really brought me home?
Shit! I showed a pathetic side of me to Gremory-senpai! What does she think of me now?!
"Come to think of it," She then wondered with a frown on her face. "She brought you up to your room and didn't come down for quite some time. I've heard a lot of grunting and moaning while she was there, though."
My nose suddenly spurted a nosebleed as my eyes widened at the implications.
Shit. Did we really do it?! Did I skip the 'in a relationship' phase and went directly for the home run?! Remember the valuable memories, me! Shit! Why can't I remember?! Do people lose their virginity like this?! Or I was just pathetic that I didn't even remember the possibly best night of my life?!
"Wipe your nose, Ise." My mother suddenly scolds me as she hands me a tissue. "And please do go to your school now. You'll be late in 10 minutes."
Ah. Shit.
"Unnnnggghhhhhhhh…" I groaned in my seat as I wiped off the sweat of my face.
I still can't stand the sunlight, and having to run all the way to the academy didn't help matters at all. I rested for a few seconds before Matsuda and Motohama approached me.
"Yo Ise." Matsuda greeted as he slapped me at the back. "You looked like you just ran a marathon or something."
"It's because I did." I replied, shoving his hand off. "Can't risk sensei getting mad at me again."
"I suppose you're right." Motohama said as he touched his glasses like some sort of a detective. "Sensei said the other day that one more late record for this month and you're going to be toast."
I shivered involuntarily at the word "toast". Lots of unpleasant memories flooded into my brain before I shook my head.
"Never, ever again."
"Yeah," Matsuda agreed as he hugged himself, shivering. "I still remember that time when sensei said we're toast. She came to our detention room while she held a spoon and a mouse…"
I paled at that. Who would've forgotten that? It's still the most horrifying thing I've ever seen, and I'm counting my recent experiences.
Glancing at Motohama though, he seemed to drool as a happy smile draped across his face.
"Oh yeah." I said as Matsuda wore a face of disgust. "I forgot Motohama's also a lolicon of the highest order."
Aside from being an ultimate siscon, Motohama is also a bonafide lolicon. He can't keep his excitement around the girls around our age who still had those loli-like bodies.
"Girls with loli bodies are the real treasures!"
He once shouted that in the middle of a class while he and Matsuda are arguing about something.
Yeah, but it's really sad that I am not that much better than him in that regard.
But why is Motohama is grinning like an idiot is because of the person who is about to arrive at any moment now.
The door suddenly opened, and a small girl entered the room.
The girl in question had shoulder-length pink hair, wearing cute clothes that suit a child her size and have a cute face that wouldn't look out of place in a child's. In fact, at the first glance she really looked like a child.
"Ah, Hyoudou-chan~" She called me as she displayed a smile that took down many members of our class including both Matsuda and Motohama. "I'm really glad that you're not late today. I hate doing those kind of 'punishments' to you, but they're school rules, so I really have to…"
"Y-Yes, ma'am!" I said as I shivered once more. I know school rules say that the teacher has to um… 'reprimand' the student in case of too much late records but, your 'punishments' really are something to avoid, you know?
But I have to admit, I really got scared of being late though.
"Gah!" Matsuda said as he wiped his forehead of sweat. "I may not be a lolicon, but Komoe-sensei is cute! Reaaaaalllll cute~!"
Too true, my friend! Komoe-sensei is really cuuuute! I can only imagine what lolicons like Motohama is thinking right now.
Oh yeah, the small girl who is now standing in front of us is our homeroom teacher, Tsukuyomi Komoe-sensei. She is regarded as one of Kuoh Academy's best, teaches chemistry, a specialist on social, environmental, behavioral and communicational psychology, and knowledgeable in many branches of sciences.
Also worth noting, that despite her looks, she is old enough to drink, smoke and drive a car. I remember that time when Komoe-sensei took me for a ride to school because I was really running late and she happened to pass by me.
Her style of driving makes me not want to take a ride with her anymore though.
"Before I check your attendance, sensei tells you guys to pass your assignments~"
I went blank for a few seconds before realization dawned on my face,
"Assignment?" I repeated meekly.
"Yeah." Motohama, who is also my seatmate, said to me. "Did you forgot? It was a chemistry assignment involving chemical compounds that was due today." He gave me a sharp look that sends chills down my spine, not that I would admit it to him though. "Don't tell me, you forgot?"
"Well…." I scratched the back of my head. "Damn it, I only remembered it now! Motohama let me copy yours!"
Shit! With all of the strange dreams and things happening to me these past few days, the thought of homework flew out of my mind!
It was then that the whole class turned towards me, with wide eyes no less.
"What? Hyoudou forgot to bring his assignment?"
"Eh? Hyoudou, did you really forgot your homework?"
After some mutterings, the whole class then cheered for joy.
"Yeah! Banzai! Sensei's eyes will only focus on Hyoudou and his misfortune! Our damages will be reduced to minimal, Banzai!"
Uuu…. Who do they think I am?! A sacrificial lamb?! Why are they happy that they're going to sacrifice me to sensei?! Don't tell me…?
"You guys…! You forgot your homework too?! Komoe-sensei will cry!"
And sure enough, Komoe-sensei looked like a child that had just found out the truth about Santa Claus. No, it's more than that. She probably went through a shock.
After a few minutes of silence, Komoe-sensei tearfully raises her hand.
"S-Sensei is very upset that you guys forgot to do it." She said as she wiped a tear off her eye. "Sensei didn't realize that my homework is too hard for you guys. Sensei will try her very best to become a better teacher."
Just by looking at the sobbing teacher in front of me, my heart is instantly filled with guilt.
How could I do this?!
How could I hurt sensei so much? Next time, I won't let other things distract me, I'll always fulfil my obligations to sensei because it really hurts to see sensei cry!
That's why I swore to myself.
"It's not your fault sensei."
"Komoe-sensei is the best teacher we have!"
Looks like my classmates has reached the same conclusion too.
"If anything, it's Hyoudou's fault in the first place."
Yeah, really, all of this wouldn't have to happen because of me- Wait. What?!
"This is all Hyoudou's fault!"
"If Hyoudou didn't forgot his homework then all of this would've been avoided!"
"Yeah!"
"Punish Hyoudou for making sensei cry!"
"Finish him!"
"Finish him!"
"Finish him!"
My jaw dropped as the scenario around me suddenly screamed for my execution. H-How did it turn out like this?! I couldn't even give a correct reaction because of my shock!
"Y-You guys stop that!" Sensei timidly scolds the class. "It's not Hyoudou-chan's fault!"
S-Sensei! My heart fluttered at my cute sensei defending me. Sniff! Sensei, you are my only ally in this cruel world called the classroom!
"S-Sensei will give you all an extension so please leave Hyoudou-chan alone!"
Sensei probably said the magic words as the whole class suddenly behaves and the order returned.
However, I could feel someone gazing at me with full-fledged killing intent.
I turned sideward and sure enough, I could see Motohama giving me the evil eye.
"Damn you, Ise." He growled quietly, as sensei is preparing her lessons. "I wanted to be protected by Komoe-sensei, too!"
it all happened just by chance! It's not my fault that our class, including you, turned unto me!
That's what I wanted to say, but I knew that Motohama wouldn't listen to a single word of it.
I just made a sigh and looked out from the windows.
By the way, I'm seating on the last row just beside the windows. So it's easy to see what's happening on the outside from my position. And today, I'm using that priviledge to see the 2nd year senpais who were having their PE class right now.
My eyes roamed around the girls, who wore their PE shirt and bloomers.
Whoever assigned those bloomers for uniforms should be praised! The legs of these girls were very beautiful! The form of those legs reminds me of those finely honed statues of the godesses! Beautiful, like an art form! Thank you for the nice legs!
Uwoh! They seemed to be doing some dashes! This is perfect! I could freely observe their oppai bouncing as they run! Oh, they seemed to be starting, and the first pair to run is a crimson-haired girl and a black-haired girl who tied her to a ponytail.
Wait... Isn't that Rias-senpai and Akeno-senpai?! So is this their class?! Is it a coincidence that I always ran into them? Or is it just destiny repaying me for all of the misfortunes in my life? Either way, the oppurtunity to see Rias-senpai and Akeno senpai's oppai bouncing is a reward in itself! Cheers for PE!
"Komoe-sensei!" I heard Motohama's voice. "Ise is looking at the girls who are doing PE by the window."
When I heard Motohama said that, I immediately turned around. Shit! Did I enjoy the view too much? I forgot that I was still in class, dammit! Damn you Motohama for turning me in!
"..."
I looked at the front to see Komoe-sensei's reaction. Sensei looked really shocked, and tried her best not to cry in front of us.
"..."
In addition, I felt a number of piercing gazes being sent towards my way. Each and every one of those glares pierced my sould and smashed it into pieces.
Kuh... Looks like I found myself in an unfavorable situation.
I made a deep breath as I try to weigh out my decision.
Should I even go or not?
The final class has just ended and waved goodbye to both Matsuda and Motohama, reasoning to them that I had something to do. They're planning an afternoon 'gentleman's time' in Matsuda's house and invited me over. I would've like to go though, its been a while since I watched a good porn, but my mind that time is determined to find out why Rias-senpai came into our home, bringing me, and then did... something.
I then imagined a naked Rias-senpai straddling me when I was outcold.
"Ise." She moaned as her breath began to get ragged. "I've longed for you ever since we met in the locker room days ago. I can't stop thinking about you! My body begins to feel hot whenever I remember your face..."
I then shook my head. There's no way it could happen, right?! Right?!
It was then that some high-pitched cheering reached my ears, knocking me out of my fantasy.
"Eh? Eh?!"
The screams got louder and louder, and when I saw a crowd of girls looked at one direction, I understood immediately.
A damn handsome is coming this way!
Shit! I'll never forgive those handsome guys who are monopolizing the female population! Shit, I've even heard that one of those guys are players! Shit! Why it couldn't be me?!
I narrowed my eyes as the crowed of girls and their screaming got louder. Then I saw who is in the middle of the pack. A handsome, blond guy with a sharp eyes, who always do things in a gentlemanly manner, and is dubbed 'Kuoh Academy's prince'.
Kiba Yuuto, a 1st-year student like me.
The only good thing I could say about this guy is that he is not a player and not particularly interested in the girls around him. How could you not? If you've got Rias-senpai and Akeno-senpai as clubmates, you couldn't ask for any better!
Oh yeah, this guy is also a part of the elite Occult Research Club, the place I was deciding earlier whether I would go to or not.
But still, even though he isn't exactly going all out to gain the girl's attention, this guy is still a damn handsome! He's still one of the reasons I was being ignored by the girls around me!
My glare became more hateful when the girls around him started to scream louder as he smiled.
Shit! I want girls to scream for me too! I want to be popular with girls too!
My heart is crying right now because of this injustice! If there is a God, why he didn't give me handsome looks that would make every girl fall in love with me at first sight?! Ouch! Why did my head suddenly hurt all of a sudden?!
"Are you by any chance, Hyoudou Issei-kun?"
My glare stopped as he asked me that question. Why would he ask for my name? Are there reasons for him to ask my name? Did he want to become friends with me in order to accentuate his devilishly, handsome, good looks?! Damn you handsome!
"Why should I tell you?!" I replied hotly. There is no way that I would be friends with a damn handsome! They're my enemies!
A loud of chorus of "boos" were all directly aimed towards me.
"Kiba-kun made all of this useless effort to look for you!"
"Yeah! Kiba-kun is on a higher level of existence that surpasses the likes of you! You should be grateful that he even gives you a bit of his time!"
"That's right! Kiba-kun, please leave this hentai and let us hang out instead."
CHILLS.
A sudden glare for the normally docile Kiba immediately shut the girl up. I never knew that the gentleman Kiba would do that to a girl. Though, it all happened for a moment and then he went back to his normal self.
"Well..." He scratched the back pf his head. "I'm sorry about that, but you see, Hyoudou-kun is being called by Rias Gremory-senpai."
As soon as I heard those words, my mouth opened in shock.
Is this some sort of a message? Why would Rias-senpai would sent someone for me? Could it be because of what mother told me this morning? It really happened? It wasn't really a prank at all?
"Also..." Kiba continued. "She also said that she will explain everything if you would come with me."
My doubts disappeared in my mind. Rias-senpai really did have something to do with what's happening to me. The strange dreams I have of me being killed, the crimson color in the same dreams, and those voices...
"So..." Kiba's voice knocked me out of my thoughts. "Are you Hyoudou Issei-kun?"
I nodded. I knew for that moment that I will now get the answers I seek.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked him.
Kiba thought about something for a few seconds before giving a small smile. "I want you to come with me."
It was then that I heard a big "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" coming from the girls around me.
"For Hyoudou and Kiba-kun to walk alongside each other... It's unforgivable!"
"You'll get infected by his pervertedness, Kiba-kun!"
"I won't agree with this Kiba x Hyoudou pairing!"
"Wait, who's the seme and who's the uke?"
"Kiba-kun has girlish features, and Hyoudou is a sexual beast. It's not hard to say who's who."
"In it's own way, they're kind of cute."
I inwardly cringed as the girls sprouted some kind of weird crap. Seriously, if you're going to say something that is damaging to my psyche, please shut up.
I followed Kiba, and after a few moments, I found myself in front of the Old School Building.
The Old School Building is located at the back of the school building, and is surrounded by a bunch of trees. I looked around and, aside from us, there are no signs of people being here. I also heard about some creepy things that were associated with this building like a flash of red light can be seen in the supposedly abandoned building during the nights.
The creepy atmosphere and the stories associated with it had helped it cement its place as one of 'Kuoh Academy wonders.'
Though, looking at the building now, it looked like it was old, but well-maintained. I mean, there are no broken windows, spider cobwebs or anything that could be found in the supposedly abandoned building, and there are no easily noticeable broken parts from its appearance either.
"Buchou is here."
I raised my eyebrows at that. The Occult Research Club is located here? No wonder neither me, Matsudo nor Motohama could find it. It was located here!
It is strange though, why we didn't search the old school building back then? Like there is something that makes people go away from this place.
We entered the building, went straight towards the stairs, climb the said stairs up to the second floor, and walked in the long corridor.
By looking around, it seems that my assessment about this place is correct. Everything is in order and as good as it needs to be.
While I'm thinking about these things, we have reached our destination.
We stopped at the door that has a sign that reads 'Occult Research Club'.
So this is the clubroom of the super elite club, huh?
"Buchou, we're here."
Kiba waits for some confirmation before opening the door. Then I've heard an elegant-sounding voice coming from the inside.
"Yes, come in."
Kiba then opened the door and gestured me to come in. I shrugged my shoulders and walked inside.
What greeted me though, is something I never expected at all.
At the center of the room, there is a very big magic circle that takes up most of the space. There are weird signs and symbols all around the clubroom from the walls, the floor and the windows. I could also see a couple of luxurious sofas and tables in the room.
And sat on the sofas are three girls. On the right sat, Himejima Akeno-senpai. She looked very lovely and womanly as always, like a true Yamato Nadeshiko! On the left sat a small girl with white hair and was eating a lolipop...
Wait, I know this girl...
That's right. This is Toujou Koneko-chan, a 1st year student like me and Kiba here. It is said that Koneko-chan is supposed to be a 3rd year middle school student, but because of her genius, she was accelerated a year and is on our grade.
The cute genius, the school mascot and popular among lolicons like Motohama.
And on the center of the sofa sat Rias Gremory-senpai. She smiled a little as she noticed me entering the room.
I gulped as I looked at them. Oh, Himejima-senpai and Rias-senpai's oppai are looking as big and good as always!
SNAP!
A loud crushing sound was heard from the room as I snapped out of my thoughts. It was then that I could see Toujou-chan crushing a wood bat with her bare hands!
"...hentai."
S-Scary! It was then that I decided that I would never, ever make Toujou-chan angry.
"Welcome, Hyoudou Issei-kun, to the Occult Research Club." Rias-senpai said as she clapped her hands. "I can call you Ise, right?"
"Y-Yes..." I answered her. Ah... I am being called by Rias-senpai by my first name. Does this mean that we are actually close already?! Is this a dream?! If it is, please don't wake me up!
"So.. my name is Rias Gremory. You can call me Buchou."
When she said that, I raised my hand. She raised her eyebrows for a moment before motioning for me to speak. And with that, I asked her the question that is in my head since morning.
"You said that I could call you Buchou. Does that mean that I am a part of your club?"
"Yes." She answered directly. "I'm sorry that all of this is too sudden, but there are things that happened out of control, which would be explained later, that made you a part of the club. Hope you don't mind being a member."
Are you kidding me?! Being surrounded by hotties like you and Akeno-san is more than enough reason for me to join this club!
"Ara." Himejima-senpai giggled as she looked at me. "I'm honored by your praise, Hyoudou-kun."
CHILLS.
I shivered involuntarily as I felt a death glare aiming at me. I looked at the direction on where the gaze is coming from and I saw Toujou-chan glaring at me, and she really looked pissed!
I'm sorry for whatever I have done to anger you so, Toujou-sama!
"I-I'm sorry! I just can't help it!" I said timidly as I looked at Toujou-chan, who apparently appeased her anger. Gulp! I really don't want to be smashed by those fists of hers!
"We'll introduce ourselves first." Gremory-senpai said as she motioned for the others to stand.
"Kiba Yuuto, 1st year, nice to meet you Hyoudou-kun." Kiba said with a prince-like smile.
"...Toujou Koneko, first year."
"Himejima Akeno, 2nd year, the vice president of this club, please take care of me." Himejima-senpai bowed elegantly.
"And I'm Rias Gremory. 2nd year and the president of this club. A pleasure to meet you Ise." Rias-senpai bowed like a formal lady.
"I-I'm Hyoudou Issei, 1st year. Glad to be here?" I said as I introduced myself.
"Now that's all done. I'll cut to the chase Ise." Gremory-senpai then put on a serious face, as well as the others. I suddenly felt nervous all of a sudden.
"We, the Occult Research Club, are all devils." she said flatly as the other members grew bat-like wings behind their backs.
...
...
...
...Er? What? Devils?! Is this some kind of a joke?
"And we welcome you, Ise, as a devil."
As soon as she said that, bat-like wings like the others sprouted out of my back.
-!
Mom, Dad. Looks like I'm in here for something big.
