I've been here two times already, but the entrance to Kuoh Academy still seems to be mesmerizing in its own way.
The school year has started, and with it came school life.
Dressed in the school's male uniform, I take a glance at the students entering school. Man, I'm not good with crows.
Along the alumni I can recognize a few people, I think I saw a beautiful girl with black hair in a ponytail who had a few boys and girls fawning all over her. Maybe that's Akeno?
I saw a head of white hair entering school before anyone else, too. I'm pretty sure that's Koneko. Too short to be anyone else~
Also…
''I swear that this year, I will fulfill my dream and become the Harem KING!'' No prize for guessing who shouted that.
Jokes aside, that's clearly Hyoudou Issei with his friends, the infamous Perverted Trio.
The protagonist of this world looks exactly like I remember; spiky brown hair and light-brown eyes. He is… kind of plain, actually.
Don't get me wrong, I think he has all that 'protagonist' thing going on with him, but If I didn't know beforehand, I would've thought he's just some plain dude with very open fetishes.
Well, that, and the pitiful amount of magic I can barely sense from him. I knew his reserves were bad even after becoming a devil but damn.
Let's have a closer look… [Observe]
Issei Hyoudou.

How the actual fuck do you have an extra minus in magic?!
I must have been staring too hard because I could see the three dumbasses actually giving me death glares while gritting their teeth. What's that about?
''What are you looking at, you damn pretty boy?!'' It's Issei himself who shouts at me, making me raise an eyebrow. I can see some curious students looking at the little scene the future boob dragon emperor is making.
I'm… not dealing with whatever that is about.
A dismissive glance is all that the perverts receive from me as I walk into the academy proper.
Now, where is the classroom again?
.
.
Well, the introduction went well, I think.
I got a few looks here and there about being a new student, a homeschooled one at that.
Questions were thrown here and there, I got another glare from the idiotic trio, and that made me think for a bit.
It's not that I didn't realize it, it's just that the only people I have been around are all very beautiful, and that made me think it was normal…
My point is, it seems that half-mermaid blood is giving me some type of charm. 'Cause I've caught girls taking glances at me and giggling between themselves, and a few guys raising an eyebrow in my direction.
That's not ideal if I wanted to not be bothered, really. Please don't tell me I'll get a nickname like Kiba…
Also, there's that weird, glasses-wearing girl too. She took a single glance at me and was grinning like a maniac. I think her name was… Aika?
Isn't she the one that could a guy's dick size by looking at them? Kind of like the glasses guy but for dudes. Hmm… food for thought.
You know, I remembered school as a really fun time. Maybe it was hanging out with friends, the chill homework, and teachers.
Maybe the whole Pandemic thing? It was tragic, but my introvert-self really thrived that year.
Wait, will this world be hit by Corona, too? It's 2012, after all…
Hold up, is ''The world will end after 2012'' a thing here?
I'm getting off-topic, what I'm trying to say is, that school is sooo boring.
In the little time I had before classes started, I actually spent some time studying with Koneko. You know, refresh knowledge and all of that.
After the whole… thing, with the cabin in the woods, we have been patrolling at night. It's still our mission, after all.
Fortunately, it seems there are no more recent disappearances and it's improbable that the Stray has gone too far out of his 'hunting' grounds.
It's still a sneaky piece of shit, and I will fuck it up once I find it.
Anyway, our study session bore significant fruit for me, and a headache for poor Koneko. I even helped her with some math questions, too.
[Studying] Lv 9 (2%).
Your ability to learn and retain new information of any kind.
[Teaching] Lv 3 (5%).
You can teach people about subjects you have some knowledge of. You can't teach magic with this… for now.
My thoughts get interrupted by the school's bell, and I blink at noticing that I just skipped the whole lesson while looking out the window.
I hope whatever it was about doesn't go into an exam…
I get up while pulling my lunch from my school bag, and I'm ready to head to some quiet place, maybe find my sassy white-haired friend along the way, but before I exit the door, I catch a bit of conversation among the alumni.
It's mostly about the next class or friends talking about their vacation, except for three specific individuals.
''We have to try man, the first day it's when we have to strike! An unexpected tactic…'' The bald one whispered.
''Are you sure? Maybe…'' I couldn't catch the rest from the guy with glasses.
''Don't worry, I know where we can hide, this is going to be the best!'' Issei's voice is the only one I catch clearly before I exit the door.
It seems the perverts are planning something. While it may have been slightly funny in the show, sexual harassment is a no-no, guys.
Quest: The Perverted Trio.
Even on the first day of school, these guys don't relent at all. If you leave them alone, they're probably going to spy on the girls changing (or worse?). Want to do something about it?
Objective:
Prevent the three horny monkeys from harassing girls.
Reward:
2 levels to [Investigate].
Reputation gains with Kuoh Academy.
Shall we rain on their parade, then?
.
.
The rest of the school day was pretty normal. I couldn't find Koneko for lunch, so that was sad. But, I got a message from Rias (I don't remember giving her my number) asking if I wanted to practice magic today.
She has horrible typing. I don't think even I am that bad. Seriously, who abbreviates 'Do you want to practice?' to 'D U wan 2 prctiz?'
I hope she just smashed the keys on that because it's just horrible.
Anyway, following the trio around was actually pretty easy, while [Stealth] didn't make me completely invisible, it muffled my presence and the sound I make at a measly level 10. So, unless someone with magic was trying to look for me, I was pretty much undetected.
''Right around here, paradise is just on the other side!'' Issei isn't nearly as silent as he thinks. They're just lucky that no one paid them much attention while on the way here.
Huh… Lucky. Issie's LCK stat is at C. Is that the protagonist's luck?
No, wait. I'm actually here. Does that make them unlucky? Maybe.
The trio suddenly stops and I do my best to not smirk. They try and look around for any witnesses, but seem to miss my form slightly hidden behind a vending machine.
The three of them enter an old cleaning supply closet, which is suspiciously close to one specific place.
The room just next to it, it's the girls' changing room. Do they have sports classes on the first day of school? Probably not, but there's the possibility of some of them wanting to take a shower nonetheless.
Hmm… How should I go about this?
I could just barge in and scare them off, or maybe just take a picture and report it to Sona? Both choices are pretty good. But, just to be sure, I approach the door silently. It won't do to try and incriminate them of something if there are no actual victims, right? They could play it up as a misunderstanding.
Pressing my ear against the door, I can hear their whispers quite clearly, since there's not a crowd of students talking this time.
''Man, I can't believe this worked. Amazing!'' That sounded like the glasses guy. Is he panting?
''I can't believe the Kendo Club is here. Such round and perfect Oppai…'' That's Issei, and he sounds like he's crying. Dude, seriously?
Also, that's pretty much my cue. If there are actually girls getting peeped on, I should just scare them off now, and inform Sona later.
''Is that Toujou?! Hey, do you think my camera could capture such a perfect view from here?''
What.
Oh, screw reporting this. I'm going with option C; a good beating.
I don't dignify the perverts with a knock, I simply kick the door open. I can feel my fists tightening at the sight. The idiots are all hunched up, faces against the wall, before the sound of the door almost being kicked in makes them freeze.
The reaction is immediate, the three of them get up and their eyes widen like deers caught in the headlights. The unused storeroom is covered by a fine layer of dust, cleaning supplies scattered around the room, and I can see a broken lock on one of the shelves.
Ignoring their shocked faces, I take a look at the wall. The small hole in it should lead directly to the girls' changing room.
How did nobody notice the lock missing from the damn door? Is this Issei's LCK stat acting up again?
''W-What are you doing here?!'' The panicked voice of the mentioned brown-haired guy makes me look at them once more.
Both of his friends look quite pale in the face and seem to be a moment's notice from bolting away, but the perverted dragon emperor seems to be holding his ground.
My eyes narrow in disgust as I point to the school corridor with my thumb. ''Outside. Now.'' I didn't think I would get this angry at this type of shit, but the white-haired catgirl has grown on me, and Michael smite me if I am letting this situation slide.
''What…?'' That's the glasses guy's dumbfounded voice, one look and I can see him shaking in place. Issei's eyes widen in realization, but the other two seem confused and… terrified. Really? I know they usually ran away and Issei is the one to catch all the beatings, but show some backbone!
Man, I didn't expect to be a teacher today…
Since I'll have to do a lesson on ass-whooping 101.
''Are you dumb or deaf? I will beat you all up. So, get the fuck outside.'' Do I sound like those edgy evil MCs right now? Please tell me I don't…
The moment I step out the door, I can see that the noise has brought a few students, who are now staring like this is the best thing they've seen since pizza with extra cheese.
Seems that the Main Character's luck is running out, Issei.
The Perverted Trio comes out a moment later, the glasses guy seems entirely too nervous and as if a breeze could knock him out, so I guess he's getting it first.
Issei seems like he's fuming at the ears and his bald friend doesn't seem far behind, even if I can see he wants to run away as much as glasses here.
''Who do you think you are, trying to deny us a look into paradise, you damn bastard?!'' The bald and short one exclaims. Man, I have to remember their names at this point… Ah, right. Baldy's name is Matsuda, the Sexual Harassment Paparazzi. And, the glasses one is Motohama, the Three Sizes Scouter, right?
Man, I hope those titles are made up because Michael damn it if they're real.
-Koneko' POV-
Hearing the ruckus outside, I can't help but sigh. Is ten minutes of showering in peace too much to ask?
''What is that sound?'' A brown-haired girl from the Kendo Club says. Muramaya, was it?
''Sounds like shouting…''
''Do you think it's those damn perverts again…?''
''This early in the school year?!''
Murmurs and whispers break down in the bathroom as my eyes narrow.
…
I swear to fucking Satan if I have to deal with those three sub-humans on the first day of school…
The possibility of the three dumbasses peeping somehow seems to be enough for the girls to dress up quickly and grab their wooden Shinto. I thought it was excessive to bring them everywhere since they didn't even have Kendo today.
Somehow, I've been proven wrong, go figure.
With a fresh set of clothes on and cracking my knuckles in anticipation, I exit the changing room, but what we find outside is… unexpected.
Is that Zatren-Senpai?
''Bastard! How dare you punch Motohama?!'' The plain dude of the trio shouts while charging at a tall, black-haired student who has a smirk on his face, he has at least a few inches on the tits-obsessed dumbass, and black hair tied into a ponytail. Can't miss the usual bags under the eyes, either.
He seems kind of like a delinquent, too.
Yeah, that's Zatren-Senpai.
I can see the unconscious form of limp-dicked 'Scouter' on the floor, and a few gasps sound around me at the scene. They're going to start with the damn gossip again…
''Who is that?''
''I think that's the new student! I share a math class with him!''
''I think his name is Fumigami…''
''Who cares, he's beating up those damn monkeys.''
''Go, Fumigami-San!''
''He looks kind of cool, doesn't he…?''
There it is. Still, I can't help the smile off my face at seeing those perverts get a good deserved beating.
A kick in the gut sends the charging pervert to the ground, and the loser paparazzi tries to take advantage by punching Zatren from the side.
In a moment, the bald one is also on the floor after a quick turn and kidney punch from Senpai, and the only one standing is 'The perverted beast' who, surprisingly, managed to get up and deck out a punch to their taller opponent's face.
…
The disappointed look on Senpai's face is quite funny.
''Let's get this over with…'' Why is he trying to sound cool all of a sudden? Cringy-Senpai.
Hyodou's surprised face changes to pain as brown orbs roll into his skull and he falls unconscious.
Probably because of the solid haymaker he took to the face. Who would know Zatren-Senpai is decent at boxing? I should give him a few pointers later.
The winner of the so-called 'fight' wipes his hands on his uniform, as if he just touched something dirty. He should get them disinfected, too. Just in case, you know?
''So cool!''
''He really beat them up, no sweat…''
The girls from the Kendo Club start to approach and talk to Senpai, some are just thanking him politely, but I can see a few fawning over him with compliments and-
Did that chick just put her tits around his arm?
''They were just pissing me off, they had it coming.'' Senpai's voice tries to say over the many voices with an uninterested tone and a blank face. Baka-Senpai, stop trying to sound cool, you idiot.
And of course, the high school girls just ate that right up.
''Of course, they had!''
''Thank you for your service, Fumigami-San!''
''Fumigami-San, are you free on the weekend?'' Who the fuck said that?
Alright, party is over.
In a moment, I'm in front of the group, grabbing tight to Senpai's arm and draggin' him away from these vultures. No, I'm not angry, fuck off.
''Koneko-San? What are you-'' You also shut up, damn man-whore. Trying to act all cool with the ladies.
''Come on, Senpai. You promised you would help me with math after class.'' I say in a clipped tone, and it seems that's enough to put the hamster-wheel on his head to work, and the dumb chicks to stop fawning over him.
As he salutes goodbye to the Kendo Club and starts finally walking, more whispers break out and I swear I'm reaching the limit of my patience.
''Toujou-Chan?'' I'm breaking your legs if you call me that to my face.
''Are they…?'' What?
''I think they look adorable!'' You…!
Heat goes to my cheeks at the implication- Fuck off!
I'm not blushing, damn it!
-Zatren's POV-
Holy shit, the girls at Kuoh are thirsty. I just beat those dumbasses up and some of them were outright fawning over me. What's up with that? Are they hated that much?
Still… You can't fool me, Koneko, I could see the blush~
We're on our way to the Occult Research Club, it seems Rias informed Koneko about today's magic lessons, but she doesn't need to grip my arm all the way there.
''Wipe that smirk off your face, Schizo-Senpai.'' Her grumbling is adorable. She's not even looking at me, just staring ahead while dragging me around.
I see, I see…
''Ah, there's no need to be jealous, Ko-ne-ko-Chan~'' I sing-song with a cheshire grin, it's funny and kind of cute the way she's- FUCK!
Fucking brat just turned around and kicked me in the shins!
And now she's the one with the smirk on her face. Damn cat, you'll see one day.
Or maybe…
I stop walking, making Koneko almost trip, and before she sends me a glare for it, I free my arm from her grip and grab her free hand instead. A smug smile crosses my face as I start walking again.
I see her eyes widen and her body freezes for a moment. Then, she's the one following me. Her grip on my hand seems to nervously tighten and slack a few times, her head turns as she looks away while grumbling nonsense.
Gotcha, adorable Kouhai~
Sadly, the fun time ends when we reach the old school building, and even with my mediocre magic sense, I feel a few presences inside the building, all of them pretty strong.
Those must be Kiba, Akeno, and Rias, right? Why can't I feel Gasper, tho? Maybe he's deeper into the building…
Koneko lets go of my hand with a huff and enters through the old door, and I follow close behind.
Suddenly, she stops and looks at me with a frown on her face. I tilt my head in confusion and that makes her frown harder, somehow.
''What is it?'' I ask curiously, and after a few moments without an answer, she sighs as if resigned or something. What's bothering the car?
''The one who will be teaching you magic… is Rias's Queen, Akeno-Senpai.'' She explains with a dead look in her eyes. That makes me more confused since I guessed as much. She was the one to teach Issei and Asia in canon, after all.
So, why is she… Oh.
Right, Akeno. The one who not only is an open tease. She is a voluptuous woman who even admitted out loud to making Issei cheat on Rias with her right to the crimson princess's face. Man, is that also a dub thing or is that in the original too?
''She loves messing with people and… she's a bit weird.'' The fact that she's not going for the throat tells me that she cares about her even with those antics. I won't say I'm not interested in the resident S half-fallen, but…
''I see, don't worry about it. I can deal with it.'' My reassuring doesn't seem to comfort her much. She was fine with me teasing Rias. Is Akeno that much worse?
Before I can say something else, a strange spark of what I can only call resolve seems to fill the previously downcast cat girl. ''Don't worry, Senpai. I'll step up if the cow-titted woman tries anything.''
Man, this girl is just so precious.
.
.
The building itself doesn't look as bad from the inside as from the outside. That's probably Rias and her peerage actions in keeping it mostly presentable.
After a bit of walking, we are in front of a door where I can more clearly sense three magical signals. I still haven't felt Gasper yet, was he actually sealed away? I thought he was just placed in a random room.
Koneko knocks on the door, and not a moment later a voice speaks out.
''Come on in!'' Even muffled by the door, I can tell that's the excited voice of Rias.
Entering the room, I can clearly see where the actual maintenance and care are. The place is spacious enough for a few people, and it's furnished quite beautifully. There are hints of purple on a couch close to the center of the room, an impeccably carved wooden table in the middle, and comfy chairs surrounding it. There are also a few doors that must lead to either a bathroom or deeper inside.
''Welcome to our Occult Research Club, Fumigami-Kun.'' The crimson devil speaks with a big smile on her face. She's seated on the table while drinking tea. By her side, is a raven-haired girl with closed eyes and what appears to be a welcoming smile, that is clearly Akeno.
Both her and Rias are using Kuoh's female uniform, and damn if it doesn't accentuate their… assets.
Girl, what the fuck were they even feeding you as a kid besides trauma?
I can catch Rias's smile turning into a grin, while Akeno's just widens. I was staring, wasn't I?
Looking down at Koneko and her piercing eyes, I can deduce that indeed, I was.
I clear my throat before speaking and make a slight bow in greeting. ''Thank you for inviting me, Rias-Senpai.'' A little smile covers my face while looking directly at her face. ''It was fortunate that Koneko-San was near, the invitation was quite… illegible''
The redhead's grin turns into a pout as she crosses her arms. ''Moou, come on. I don't write that bad, do I?'' Her head turns to her Queen, looking for support, but all she gets is a half-fallen who is trying to hide her little giggles with a hand.
''That's writing? I thought you just smashed the keys in with your head.'' And there's the little savage finishing her off! That only makes the Gremory heiress pout even harder.
Man, this place is fun.
This time is Rias who clears her throat with a blush in embarrassment.
''Anyway! This by my side is my Queen, Himejima Akeno. She's the one that will be teaching you magic today.'' And that seems to be the switch for the raven-haired girl's own introduction.
''Ara~, it's nice to meet you, Fumigami-Kun. I'm a third-year like Rias here, and will do my best to teach you lots, okay?'' Her eyelids open and I can see violet orbs staring at me like a piece of meat.
Chuckles, I'm in danger.
''Ah, of course. I'll be in your care, Himejima-Senpai'' I grin and give her a wink in response.
By Koneko's face palming and the ominous chuckle that came from Akeno, that seemed to be the wrong thing to say.
''Rias-Bucho, I brought refreshments.'' A new voice arrives, and I suddenly remember that I had felt three magical signatures, not two.
A blond guy with grey eyes, wearing the same uniform as me walks into the room with a set of tea on hand. He places it on the table before turning to me and giving me an amicable smile.
Rias nods to him, and he bows too before introducing himself. ''I'm Kiba Yuuto, Rias's Knight and Second Year student at Kuoh. A pleasure to meet you, Fumigami-San.''
I give him a nod. Man, such a polite guy. No wonder he has that 'Prince of Kuoh' title. ''It's good to meet you too, hope we can get along'' I'm not even kidding. Even if I'm in tit-world, I need some dude friends, too.
After introductions were made, all of us sat at the table together, drinking some tea while Rias's peerage made small talk about the first day of school.
This is… nice, actually.
''How was your first day at Kuoh, Fumigami-San'' The idle chatter was interrupted by Kiba, who seemed to want me to join the conversation, and I could see Koneko's smirk from the corner of my eye.
Oh boy…
''Well, I actually beat up three people today.'' I am nothing if not dramatic, and of course, I didn't try and elaborate.
First, there were blinks in astonishment, and then-
''You what?!'' Rias's surprised shout breaks the small moment of silence.
Ehe~
.
.
I have been betrayed, absolutely stabbed in the back, buried, and then thrown into a hole without even a tombstone displaying my name.
''You should try and gather magic into a small point first since today's topic is magic control,'' The black-haired seductress explains while grinning. The reason? Probably the closeness she's using to teach the lesson.
Even after explaining myself, Rias seemed a bit miffed about the ordeal. Was it because she was already putting her gaze on Issei or something else?
That aside, the moment we started the magic training, she took Koneko and Kiba, much to the former's protest, to go help her get some things from outside (Didn't even specify what). They even used the magic circle and everything.
And that leaves me in this situation, seated side by side with the buxom form of Akeno, while she's practically breathing on my neck, putting one of her hands on mine to 'help guide me better'. Yeah, right!
Two can play at this game.
First things first. I do as she says and create a sphere of water the size of my palm, this is pretty easy even with my low [Hydrokinesis] level.
''Petty good! Now, I want you to try and compress that as much as you can, little Kouhai'' Her hand squeezes mine a bit, and her smile widens into a chesire grin.
With a deep sigh, the ball becomes smaller, until it's now the size of a ping-pong ball.
My concentration falters slightly when I feel Akeno's breath on my ear, another squeeze on my hand is made while she whispers.
''That's good, little Fumigami-Kun. Don't lose focus now, try to make it smaller~'' Her velvety voice echoes in my head and I can't say I'm unaffected. My focus definitively wavers as the water sphere becomes unstable before I rein it in.
A grin is placed on my face this time. I can give back as much as I take, but can you, Akeno?
''I see… It's a bit hard, but I think I can manage.'' I can hear the notification telling me about a level-up in one of my Skills, and slowly the ball becomes smaller. Let's see how she plays along with this.
''Oh, do I get a prize if I do well enough, Senpai?'' I ask 'innocently', while the wink I give her is anything but. It seems to catch the seductress off-guard, and she looks at me blankly, before her violet eyes fill with a little mischief.
''Ara~ A reward, huh? Well… They do say you need to motivate your students with something for them to try their best…'' She gets a bit closer, and the hand that's not grabbing my own goes to my thigh, her fingers caressing the fabric of my pants.
Daring, isn't she?
''Of course, that makes sense. But aren't you a bit too close Himejima-S-e-n-p-a-I? You're not trying to take advantage of your poor Kouhai, right?'' My little coy grin doesn't fool anyone, but my 'scandalized' tone makes her eyes widen in surprise. Is that a rosy tint in her cheeks that I see? ~
''O-Of course not.'' It takes her a bit, but her grin returns at full force when she speaks next ''We'll see how well you do in these exercises, then we can discuss a 'reward'''
Now there, I can't tell if she's just teasing or actually serious. Man, this is a lot of fun-
''Oi, what are you doing, Schizo-Senpai?'' The impassive voice of Koneko makes me freeze, and it seems that in this little game I was doing with Akeno, I didn't notice the magical signature from the circle in the room flaring up.
''Fufufu~'' And by that alone I can deduce that Akeno did notice and played me into this kind of situation.
I will definitely correct this teasing minx if I ever get the chance!

-Bonus Scene-
Sacred Gear Extracting Machine: Prototype. Entry 0001. Year 2011.
Even if my end goal is to create my own Sacred Gears, just like my father. I believe that starting somewhere is key. So, I had a few plans on how to go about this.
Most of the supernatural world knows how to feel out if an individual is a Sacred Gear User. Even when dormant, these devices tend to emit their own kind of energy, one that I'm trying to replicate, but that's not the point.
Creating a machine to try and 'pull' at this energy was easy, the hard part came with… undesirable effects.
Sacred Gears are powerfully connected to the soul of the user, that wasn't a new discovery, Since the will and feelings of a user under stressful situations could even make it evolve in different and unrecorded ways.
The prototype 'Sacred Gear Extractor' was tested on a death row criminal who happened to have dormant Gear in them. The results are unsatisfactory.
Yes, the machine pulled out the Sacred Gear, but it also pulled out the damn soul of the guy with it.
Unnecessary to say that he died, and it seems that the Gear collapsed and was returned to the 'cycle' before we could try and store it or even give it to someone. More testing must be done.
Would the machine work with sentient Sacred Gears…? Untested, and honestly, way too dangerous to try now.
In the most ideal case, a 'transfer' of this caliber would be done with the consent of the being sealed in the gear, but maybe there's a difference if the being in question is still dormant.

Author's Note:
.
faerwen: You're welcome! :D.
.
Lamont: She sensed that there was an extra presence, so, the spooder, but that doesn't mean she's not suspecting some things.
Yep, benefits all around. We don't get to see their reactions to Zatren being all friendly with both peerages, but we do spread some justice(?).
.
The immortal Lake Man: No, thank you for reading!
.
btn: Sorry, I don't think I understood the problem. Maybe I described the scene poorly, but I guarantee that all the moves were made legally. Also, yes, Sona IS pretty good at chess, but I don't believe she would've gone all out to what she considered a poor opponent at first. (Well, that, and I just described a bit more of the scene to make it more immersive, I'm not a chess expert myself, even if I like the game.
Even so, thanks for the tips, I'll make sure to not mess it up if I write another chess scene!
.
Koncor the great: You always have the most interesting ideas, my guy.
There are actually a few devil fruits in the Gacha, a friend convinced me about it.
I don't think MC can create Sacred Gears, and idk if he will in the future, we'll see.
I'll have to look at that Isekai ntr that you speak of to see what those abilities are about. Hmm...
I also believe that the world bends over backward way too much for Issei, so that theory is quite interesting as opposed to bad writing or just Isseis plot armor, lol.
Idk what Saints Row is, I'll have to see.
The stray is a wolf-type devil, but it's not any canon character. It was mostly a Red Riding Hood reference, and it's an OC enemy.
Don't mind me, I'm adding 'eating fried chicken in front of Riser' to my list.
I have to think of the effects of adding powerful objects to the Spear, but the usual response should be a related Skill or Ability from the object absorbed.
.
professonpoopypants00: I don't promise anything. We'll see.

Kaguya's feet: My guy... What's that name?

Kuro Furasshu: Yes, protect the spooder until she can protect us!

Some of you (or maybe all of you) are probably going to understand the big foreshadowing of this chapter. Ehe~
A good weekend for you, dear readers!
