Chapter 5: Clients are weird
Why is she making me do grunt work?" Nagumo Hajime growled as he walked around the neighbourhood, delivering leaflets to homes of greedy bastards as he pulled his IPhone from his pocket to find the next place he had to go to.
"This shit is boring" Nagumo grumbled annoyed, walking to each house as he put a leaflet in the house's mailbox, thinking about his new 'master'.
So far the group has been careful around him, Rias and Akeno are try to be real nice when near him while Kiba has a stain smile every time he is around while Koneko pretty much ignored him, which is fine with him.
Nagumo looks at the leaflets with an annoying look, how does handing out leaflets increase power? Nagumo thinks as he puts more leaflets in the mailbox, seriously it is the 21stt century, no one reads the newspaper anymore much less take leaflets, people take it then throw it away just to get rid of the annoying shit pestering you.
After ten more minutes or so, Nagumo finished up with the leaflets and headed home. He was aware his parents would ask where he had been, but it was nothing he couldn't handle, he told them he joined the club and now has club activities.
Reaching his home, Nagumo opens his door as he puts his bags to the upside, walking inside the living room.
"Hey Nagumo…Where were you?" A voice called out as Nagumo looked to see a tall man with red hair in blue jeans and a brown top, this was Nagumo's father, Akio Hajime.
(Akio Furukawa from Clannad)
Nagumo sees his father in the living room, sifting through documents.
"Some club I've been pulled into joining, about the Occult or some shit. Anyway the leader of this rabble wanted to go check out haunted places during the evenings and dragged me along before I could tell you" Nagumo explained to his father.
"Well don't stay up too late, you've got school tomorrow" Nagumo's father spoke, the young reincarnated devil moving to pick up a piece of paper as he looked over it.
"What's this about old man?"Nagumo asked him, seeing it as another building contract.
"There are plans for making new buildings in the ports, I've been asked to look over the design and finances to see if it's feasible." He replied with a sigh, rubbing his chin as Nagumo put the paper he held.
"This is rather sudden isn't it?" he frowned and muttered, remembering the contracting sight his dad's still working on, the place where it all started.
"Yeah… but the boss is pushing to get this one started" Nagumo's father spoke with a sigh while Nagumo looked confused
"Just don't run yourself too much old man, I'm the night owl not you" Nagumo said heading up stairs.
"Go to sleep early, you'll stunt your growth" His father called back to him, Nagumo rolling his eyes as he headed upstairs, do devils even age? Or even grow? Nagumo signs as he just wants to go to bed forgetting about the leaflets.
Wonder if he can make these leaflets digital, an app? Nagumo thinks as he looks over the one leaflet he has, looking to research it later.

The next day, evening was setting as Nagumo walked into the old school building, the sun setting in the background as he made his way to the second floor.
"I'm here" Nagumo muttered as he opens the door
"You are here" Rias spoke, looking surprised to see him.
"Obviously" Nagumo mutters to himself rolling his eyes, noticing the windows were covered and the room was pitch black save for the light from the candles spread across the floor.
Rias turns to give Akeno an order as she nods.
"Yes Buchou. Nagu-kun, please sit here in the middle of the magic circle" Akeno waved him over with her hand as Nagumo moved to stand in the middle of the circle.
"Nagu-kun, your work of giving out leaflets is finished for now. Well done. Now you can start your job as a Devil professionally" Rias spoke with a smile, but Nagumo looked unimpressed.
"About time…" Nagumo replied, annoyed about the leaflets, Rias frowning for a moment before continuing.
"Now you can start making contracts. Though, since it's your first time, it's going to be a contract with someone with a small wish. Akeno received two contracts beforehand, it's hard to do both, I'll leave one to you"
"Don't worry Nagumo, is an easy one" Akeno spoke, Nagumo gives a short nod as he watches Akeno casting some sort of spell and the magic circle glows in a red light.
"You're not sacrificing me or something?" Nagumo asks as Akeno chuckles as he does the circle.
"Akeno is inserting your carved seal into the magic circle" Rias explained before adding as she held her hand out to him
"Nagu-kun, put your palm towards here" Rias asked, Nagumo did as he was told, holding his hands out to Rias who started to write something on his left hand with her fingers and so a magic circle appeared on his hand.
"This magic seal is used for transportation, and it can transport you to the client's place instantly. And when the contract is finished, it lets you return to this room." Rias explains, turning to Akeno.
"Akeno, are you ready?" Rias asked her.
"Yes Buchou." Akeno spoke as she stepped out of the magic circle, Rias turning to Nagumo as he moved to stand in the middle, a blue glow coming from the magic circle.
"The magic circle is responding with the client. Now you are going to be transported to that location. You already have the manual for what to do after getting transported right?" Rias asked him.
"Yeah, yeah" Nagumo spoke while rolling his eyes, steping a foot into the magic circle to activate it and send him to his first client. Rias sighed as she turned away from the magic circle, Akeno looking at her curiously.
"Akeno, do you think he's relaxing around us?" she asked her.
"I think he's just going along stubbornly, Buchou, He still doesn't talk to us outside of what's important and he goes home after doing his duties then talking to us. He hasn't referred to us by our first names" Akeno replied as Ria's sign asked what to do with her servant.

Nagumo opened his eyes to see himself in a nice office that as he a man in a business suit looking annoyed at him
"What the hell? Why are you summoned? Where Akeno-chan?"" The man asked as Nagumo shrugs,
"She's busy with another client today so they sent me. Names Nagumo and I'm a new devil" Kazuhiko spoke with a shrug of his shoulders.
"I see, sorry but you have to go, only Akeno can fulfil my desires" The man replied, Nagumo looking annoyed at this.
"Well what did you want her to do and I'll see what I can do?" Nagumo asked him as he sat down on his office chair.
"I want a message from her, I have been working all day and night, I need some release" The guy said as he cracked his necks side to side, Nagumo raised a brow.
"And I can't do this because?" Nagumo asked as the man looked embarrassed.
"She does it semi naked" the man said not looking at Nagumo, Nagumo grow a small smirk growing on his face
"So you wanted her like that, Ok you got it" Nagumo replied, getting the man's attention.
"What? Seriously…?" The man replied shocked, Nagumo put his hands forward as the man looked at him intensely, until he felt a soft hand on his shoulder, looking to his side he saw Akeno in her school uniform feeling his shoulder smiling.
"There…" Nagumo spoke, opening his eyes to see Akeno on her side before him while the man just stared at her.
"Why isn't she acting like Akeno-chan?" the man asked, seeing Akeno just smiling and rubbing his shoulders, not talking to him dirty like he liked..
"I barely know her, so I don't know how she would react to this ammm" Nagumo started, asking for a name.
"David" The now named David looks at the Akeno with pleasure as he feels her hands rubbing his shoulder.
"David, this is my first time on a person so this is only just a shell without a personality. I am only starting out, however if you close your eyes I'll let you imagine it yourself" Nagumo explains, normally he uses his imagination into his Illusions however he can let others control what they see.
"Wha-Wait I can control how it is?" David spoke as he turned back to Nagumo as he nodded
"As long as you use your imagination with my magic, you can control it, just close your eyes and just daydream, I'll do the rest" Nagumo explained David's eyes shone as he closed his eyes and relaxed.
"This will only last till I go, big man, and I take it that is your contract for tonight" Nagumo said as he pulled out the device he had been given for it as he started to tap at it
"That will be fine, you won't say anything right, it discrete " David nodded but looked at Nagumo as he nodded once before turning the screen to show the man
"It'll only last for an hour and this is the price, don't worry I don't care what you imagine, only you can see it" Nagumo said showing the device, David pressed the device.
"Amazing, thank you very much!" David said eagerly he closed his eyes and let his imagination run wilds. He smiles and moans in pleasure.
"I can't see it but I can tell by hearing, the poor bastard," Nagumo said, looking around the office as this client's moan with his eyes closed. Looking at his computer Nagumo gets an idea as he pulls out a Leaflet, before grabbing a chair on the side as he moves his client around who doesn't notice the movement.
Nagumo looks at the computer to see it is still on as he looks online.
"Ohhhh yeah you bitch, you like me slapping you with my dick you dirty whore" David moans as Nagumo signs as he looks at the computer.
"Can clients not ask for sex?" Nagumo thinks about it as he searches online on how to make apps. Seeing if he can make an app version of the leaflet.
LINE
Nagumo opened his eyes after the teleportation circle had finished glowing, finding himself in the room of his next client of the night, having finished the masturbating session with David, which he regrets as he looks at the new client.
Nagumo raises an eyebrow seeing a teenager in a weird wizard outfit or something.
'What the hell is this shit?' Nagumo thought to himself as the young guy greeted him, well younger than him at least.
"Welcome " the guy said as he presented himself, Nagumo raised an eyebrow at him.
"Sup" Nagumo greets him.
"I called you Devilman, my wish is to become a wizard" The guy stated, doing a weird pose in front of him as Nagumo looks at him with a complex stare.
"Right…" Nagumo started in disbelief, having no idea what he just entered.
"I see your dress for the occasion?" Nagumo asked to look him over as he nodded.
"Yes I thought I looked the part and looked my best" The guy said doing another pose.
"Mmmhmmm" Nagumo grunts looking him over.
"Ok here what I'll do, I can make you a wizard while I'm around, is that enough?" Nagumo said as the guy eagerly nodded.
"Hell yeah devil man, I'll take any time, and it will be awesome" the guy said as Nagumo nodded.
"Alright, will an hour be enough?" Nagumo asked, showing him the screen on the wish device after tapping in the wish. The guy nodded eagerly as Nagumo put the device back into his pocket.
Nagumo focused his magic, casting an Illusion over the guy who changed their surroundings into a vast field, he looked around eagerly.
"Now Harry Potter, just imagine what magic you want and direct it" Nagumo explains sitting down on a chair.
The wizard guy stared at him with a glint in his eyes as he turned to a large boulder and started firing off magical styled attacks at his surroundings while Nagumo played on his phone, not caring how much his client was enjoying his wish even though it was all just an illusion.
Nagumo looks at his phone to see if he can make any weapon with his Lightning Field skill, maybe a glove to channel his electricity, or a gauntlet with claws and other gadgets, he sees the mandalorian with the flamethrower and other stuff.
"Do you have to be here for my special time?" A voice called Nagumo as he looks up to see the wizard boy looking at him.
"Your what time?" Nagumo asked him.
"Sorry I did a spell that kills everyone but you here unaffected, kind of ruin my immersion" The guy said as he shrugs as he sits down.
"I could make it so you don't see me," Nagumo said, trying to help out but the guy shrugged.
"That's ok, I know it's not real but it feels awesome to do" The guy said, Nagumo nods looking at his phone, before getting an idea.
"How would you feel if I made an app for this kind of thing?" Nagumo asked him, seeing the guy turn to him in surprise.
"What, like I don't have to call you to do this" the guy said as he pointed his hand as an ice ball shot out.
"Pretty much, I'm thinking of making an app that does the same thing as the leaflet, maybe have my magic on it or something" Nagumo thinks about what feature he could have on it.
"I say go for it, and tell me when you do so I can download it" The guy said excitedly, seeing if he can call a devil through his phone instead of a leaflet.
"Don't worry about that, I'm still building it, but I'll let you know when it's done" Nagumo said as the guy nodded before going about his thing. Nagumo thinks about how devils get power by fulfilling desires, with an app and his magic. How many desires can he fulfil at once?
Or will it put others out of business? Nagumo thinks as he looks at his phone for more research.

Nagumo sighed as he stepped back into the clubroom after finishing his latest contract for the night, rubbing the bridge of his nose as he saw Rias and Akeno drinking tea as he sat on the sofa opposite the latter.
"How did it go?" Rias asked him.
"Fine, clients were weird," Nagumo replied, not bothering to look at her as he started to pull out his homework and made a start on it as Akeno moved to prepare a cup of tea.
"Here you go, Nagu-kun," Akeno said, giving him tea.
"Thanks Sempai" Nagumo replied, giving her a nod as she set the cup down on the table. Akeno smiling as she admonished him with a giggle
"You can use my first name, Nagu-kun, there's no need for using 'sempai' with me either. We are equals here" Akeno said, Nagumo arched an eyebrow to her for a moment before focusing on his homework as
"Yeah sure" he muttered, Akeno silently sighed as she sat back down on the sofa, glancing to see Rias having moved to her desk as she read the response from the client Nagumo did. The crimson haired devil smiled
"You did a good job with your clients today" Rias spoke to Nagumo.
"Yeah, by the way is your entire client's base sexually repressing weirdos?" Nagumo asked as he glanced to Rias for a moment, seeing her shake her head as
"Not all of them. We help out a couple businesses as well" Rias answered,
"Sure" Nagumo replied dryly as he turned back to his homework while Rias and Akeno shared a concerned look.

Nagumo sits down as he looks over his weapons, making the second pistol, making it identical to the first one. Dual wielding pistols are not really practical as most experts say, but with magic and other things it should work, but it helps to have a spare gun.
Right out Nagumo looks into making a glove like gauntlet to help channel the Lighting field skill, helping him channel his electricity like a Taser, having watched quite a few videos of Tasers and Youtube making gloves that does the same thing.
Nagumo puts on the glove, channels the Lighting field skill as the glove gives to light up, the electricity power lights up in between his fingers, channelling his magic as he focuses his hand forward as an electricity channel through the front of him. Lighting comes forward as Nagumo nods at the thing.
"That works, I still need to work on the glove with my gun, making the electrify pass through any part of my hand," Nagumo said, using his fist to channel his electrify in, not seeing any lighting coming out of his front knuckles.
Going to have to work on that and look it up. Rias said they're going to fight a stray devil tomorrow night to show him how the evil pieces system works.
Why it would be called an evil piece is beyond him as he remembers what that Fallen angel said, basically there are pieces of a chess board, and looking into his chest early he is a pawn. Which means he has nothing but a piece to throw away, Nagumo needs to learn Air Dance/Air Walk to increase his speed and mobility, while also learning Diamond Skin to protect himself from any possible danger. Luckily the skill are more mana and magic base then anything but he should learn how to fight as well.
Last time he fought a stray devil he got killed, not this time Nagumo though as he grabs his second pistol. Pulling the clip back to load a gun as he aims down site, he ready to kill him.
