Do you know what it's like to feel anxious but not know what's going to happen?
That's exactly how I feel right now.
This feeling has been bothering me since this morning.
Is something going to happen today? I hope not.
Except for one
Suzu who keeps looking at me
For some reason, I feel like my face is going to get a hole when she keeps looking at me so fiercely, is she so upset that I didn't tell her that I returned from Sitri Mansion?
.
.
.
.
The bell had rung and that was the signal for the change of the lesson.
But no matter how long we waited, the teacher didn't come.
And finally Issei went to the teacher's room.
I also noticed how Suzu was looking at me from earlier.
It feels really awkward... Should I ask her to talk now?
or should I wait a little longer after the break?
I don't know, I'm really confused about choosing the time to talk to her, although it's actually just because of a little mistake I made....
I didn't know that Suzu was going to visit me at the Sitri Mansion.
I would have told her if I had known.
" *sigh* Life is unpredictable"
I have no idea where the conversation should begin.
.
.
.
.
The bell for the break has rung.
I stood up without waiting for anything and walked over to Suzu's desk.
She, who was originally focused on looking forward, immediately glanced over. When our eyes met, she immediately avoided eye contact.
It's strange to see this girl doing the same thing all the time.
"Suzu..."
"...."
Suzu finally looked directly at me. But somehow it felt like she was expecting my arrival...
Maybe that's just my feeling
"I have something to talk about..."
".... alright...."
Suzu suddenly stood up and left first, saying
"Follow me"
"...." I nodded and followed Suzu.
I felt a bit nervous at the moment.
"Hey hey, is Hajime-kun going to confess his feelings to Suzu?"
"It's possible. Who doesn't like Suzu in this Kuoh Academy?"
"That makes sense too"
And that's how the commotion between our classmates happened.
.
.
.
.
When Suzu and I arrived at the right place, Suzu turned around and looked at me with a slightly flushed face.
"So... what do you want to talk about?"
While playing with her hair, Suzu didn't seem to be able to look into my eyes for too long.
and I really wanted to laugh.
"That's... Actually, I wanted to apologize for not telling you that I've returned from the Sitri Mansion..."
Well, I bowed my head again, I don't know how long I have to look down like this, but if I keep doing this...I'm afraid passersby will think I'm confessing to Suzu
"hm...."
Suzu just twirled the tips of her hair with her hands, and I, who saw that while looking down, really hoped to be forgiven soon.
"I'm really sorry that I didn't tell you back then...but that's because I didn't know that you were visiting me."
"...."
I hope Suzu will forgive me for that reason.
".... All right..."
"...?"
I didn't hear you clearly
"This time...I will forgive you"
"...thank you..."
"But!"
"?"
"If you can come shopping with me the day after tomorrow... I'll forgive you..."
"...just take you shopping?"
"Yes..."
".... I think I can do that"
"Really?!"
"? y-yeah..."
Suzu...is it because you're so excited that your face is so close? and I can feel our breath?
"t-then! I'll decide where to meet tomorrow and you have to be there the next day!"
"alright, I'll follow you."
"Yes!"
*Ring ring
Suzu's cell phone rang.
It must be about Sirzech's summons.
"The president called me, so I'll see you later."
"Enjoy your time."
Suzu nodded and teleported to the ORC.
"...."
I'm alone here, thinking about what to do.
"Alright.... .... Now what?"
.
.
.
.
"Issei-kun, do you have any plans today?"
"Me? I think I'm free today."
"Good."
Aurion and Kiba were practicing today, their clothes looking quite tattered.
"Before that... what did you do to get your clothes like that?"
"This..."
Kiba scratched the back of his head and Aurion started to explain why they looked so messy.
"Actually... we feel like our powers aren't very useful these days..."
"Useless?"
" Yeah."
Aurion looked glum and hardened his grip.
"We...have reflected on the previous incidents...and we realize that the current us will not be able to do anything when faced with a threat like yesterday's..."
Kiba, who was equally gloomy
"...then wouldn't I be the same?"
Issei also reflected on the battles he had been through.
It's true that those who are now unable to deal with the threats that come their way.
For example, if we look at the battle with Kokabiel
No matter how many times he increased his power, his strength was still not equal to Kokabiel's, let alone equal to Kokabiel's, it was very difficult for him to deal wounds.
The second time he fought Kokabiel, the result was still the same.
" If this is the case, I'll think about getting stronger as well."
"I agree."
"Me too"
The three of them sat in the ORC courtyard, a gentle breeze blowing through the atmosphere as if to soothe the restlessness of their hearts.
".... How about we ask Hajime to train us..."
""?""
Issei and Kiba looked at Aurion.
"I've been thinking about this... Hajime is a demon who is really on a different level compared to us."
"..."
Issei and Kiba agreed.
"I have also seen how he has used Durandal to slaughter Kokabiel. It was a really beautiful light."
Kiba remembered how Kamiya had brought out the full potential of Durandal.
That night, the distorted sky was filled with a blinding white light, and in an instant, the white light seemed to turn the sky back to dark blue.
"....but is he really a demon?"
""....""
Good question.
"I'm not sure about that either."
Aurion, thinking about Kamiya's race, was also confused.
"If we look at Akeno-san's example, then we can get a slight idea that Hajime is an angel turned into a demon."
"But Hajime is clearly from the Sitri family, a pure-blooded demon noble."
"Right, and as far as I know... only an interracial marriage can create a new race."
"So you're saying... Hajime's parents are both angels and demons?"
"Yes."
"..."
The three of them continued to make assumptions about Kamiya, but as everyone relaxed, a magic circle appeared in the ORC room.
"""!"""
Issei, Kiba and Aurion were shocked and immediately realized that it was the Demon King Sirzech.
They then ran to the meeting room and saw that everyone was about to gather.
"President..."
"Oh? Issei, Kiba, Aurion, come here, we are going to discuss something very important"
"Okay."
The three went over to Rias and stood behind her.
And this is the discussion about the meeting of the three factions to discuss peace.
.
.
.
.
"Really boring"
Kamiya is drawing in the garden.
It's a good time to enjoy his break.
But strangely, everything feels very boring now.
"Issei and Suzu must be at the ORC right now..."
Thinking about how they had their own clubs, Kamiya wondered if he should join at least one of them.
But at the moment, it seemed that he couldn't join any.
"Well, how about I ask permission to go home today?"
Kamiya definitely had other things he wanted to do at home, like researching the Orb of Ddraig and Albion again.
and it seemed like he had already decided on that.
.
.
.
.
Kamiya was already in the teacher's room.
and while he was looking for his homeroom teacher, Kamiya found that his homeroom teacher was talking to a tall long-haired woman who seemed to be slightly taller than Kamiya.
'New teacher?'
That's what Kamiya thought when he saw a teacher he hadn't met before.
And just as their eyes met
She smiled and whispered something to Kamiya's homeroom teacher. Then Kamiya's homeroom teacher nodded and walked over to Kamiya.
but there was something strange about her face...
"What's wrong Hajime-kun? Do you need something?"
"...."
Hajime was silent for a while and looked at his homeroom teacher and the new teacher several times.
Then Kamiya seemed to notice something strange.
"Sorry, it looks like I have to leave early today due to family matters."
"Really? Then I'll take care of your request."
Kamiya's homeroom teacher seemed to agree and went to her desk.
Then Kamiya looked back at the new teacher, but she was gone.
"...."
A strange feeling came over Kamiya.
"Sensei...I guess I won't..."
Just as Kamiya was about to say that he wanted to cancel his permission to go home, Kamiya's homeroom teacher took out a pair of scissors from her desk and pointed the knife at her own neck.
"SENSEI!"
Kamiya was shocked and immediately ran to his teacher.
But the strange feeling grew in Kamiya's chest.
And when Kamiya finally approached, he could see his homeroom teacher's crooked smile.
That's when he felt that the strange feeling really happened.
*shine*
A magic circle began to emerge from the ground and shone brightly, filling the room.
'So this is all a trap, huh?'
Kamiya, who had just realized it, looked at his teacher who had fainted.
And when the magic circle was completed
Kamiya also disappeared from the teacher's room.
.
.
.
.
A strong wind began to be felt all over Kamiya's body.
When he opened his eyes, it turned out that he was falling from the sky.
He looked down and found a wide, barren plain.
Confused as to what this place actually was, Kamiya took out his wings and adjusted his balance. He had already thought about what would happen if he was kidnapped, but he hadn't expected to fall from the sky.
He still didn't know who had tricked him.
"There you are!"
"!!??"
Surprised by the voice, Kamiya looked back only to find a kick coming towards him.
Kamiya didn't stay still, he blocked the kick with both hands.
Unfortunately, the kick was too strong for Kamiya to withstand.
As a result, Kamiya was thrown to the ground very quickly.
"Is our mission really that easy this time?"
"I'm not surprised, after all, our opponent is just a high school kid."
Two men with fallen angel wings descended from the sky.
"I don't care, hurry up and put this seal on him."
"alright alright..."
One of the fallen angels approached while chanting the spell to activate the seal.
But there was one thing that bothered him.
Is this mission really that simple?
He began to doubt his own faith.
"Seal formation.....three sides....aul-"
"BACK OFF STUPID!"
"!!??"
The fallen angel who tried to seal was shocked to find that there was no one in the place he had sealed.
"Hey! Where did he go?"
The fallen angel turned to look for his friend.
But all he could find was a spear of light piercing his friend's stomach.
"....hey..."
Seeing his friend lifeless, the fallen angel was frightened and immediately tried to fly away.
He didn't know where the high school student was or who had killed his friend, but he felt the urgency to get away from this place as soon as possible.
"And with your filthy wings, you thought you could save your own life?"
"Eh?"
He didn't know where the voice came from, but because of his panic he didn't care about anything and wanted to run away immediately.
But there was something wrong with his body.
he couldn't move his neck or eyes
Only the purple sky was his last sight.
And that's when he realized he was dead.
.
.
.
.
They are not the ones who assaulted me earlier.
That was Kamiya's thought as he killed the two fallen angels.
His arm was still hurt from the hard kick. But the thing that was on his mind was the fact that Kamiya had no idea who that person was.
Kamiya immediately expanded the range of his magic to detect where the person could move to attack without Kamiya noticing.
And suddenly, something shocking happened
"....!.."
He saw a sword suddenly appear from the ground, about to hit Kamiya's head.
Kamiya dodge and jumped to the side.
Unfortunately, the incoming assault didn't stop.
"Gotcha!"
"!?"
*Slash
"Kugh!"
The double dagger managed to injure Kamiya's back. Seeing this, the one who was controlling the sword didn't waste the opportunity and immediately aimed a dozen swords at Kamiya.
Seeing this, Kamiya immediately brought out a barrier made of demonic power.
But what was unexpected was that the swords were able to cause considerable damage to Kamiya's barrier.
The first sword made a small ripple, then the second sword made another small ripple, until the tenth sword made the big ripples.
Kamiya found the sword strange.
It didn't look like a holy sword or a demon sword.
And before he could analyze what the sword was, the barrier he had created was destroyed.
and the other three swords hit the ground, creating a huge cloud of smoke that blinded Kamiya.
'What... it's like they've been planning this attack for a long time.'
Feeling unsafe, Kamiya took out his wings again and flew away.
Misfortune came upon him again.
While Kamiya was flying, a high-speed projectile shot out from a hundred meters away.
Surprised, he immediately pulled out a light spear and deflected the high-speed projectile, and due to the strong power of the projectile, the light spear was instantly destroyed, causing Kamiya to lose his balance.
'W-what?!'
This terrifyingly accurate shot almost hit Kamiya's head, and even the light spear wasn't enough to stop it.
Kamiya trying to regain his balance
They really are annoying people.
The constant onslaught made it difficult for Kamiya to focus on one of them.
'I should try to track them again.'
The uneasy feeling that was currently nagging at Kamiya didn't stop, he felt that something he didn't want to happen was about to happen.
One is underneath... the other is within fifty meters... one hundred meters... above!
*clang!
The sound of a spear clashing with a spear rang out from the sky.
Kamiya just realized that someone was hiding in the sky, and he just came to the conclusion that this person was the one who attacked him.
"....heh! Are you the one Loki-sama used to be proud of? you're just one of the trash scattered around the streets now?"
"!!??"
Kamiya was surprised to hear this provocation. A provocation he never thought he would hear.
'Loki!? Wait... how did he know that I was one of Loki's experiments?!'
Kamiya took a sharp look at the person's appearance.
Brown hair, piercing eyes with a red tint as a sign of madness, an athletic body, and a sharp tongue.
Who is this person...
Kamiya took the initiative and charged at the stranger.
He formed a demonic spear in his left hand and stabbed straight. But the person dodged very quickly.
It was as if they already knew what Kamiya was going to do.
"Who the hell are you..."
"Good afternoon....my name is Qeins....one of Loki-sama's experiments..."
"...."
Confusion begins.
Weren't Loki's experiments supposed to stop when his lab was destroyed?
"...hehehehe...no need to be so tense Alter...no...I shoul say your name..."
"....?"
Kamiya never expected what would come out of that man's mouth next.
"Hyoudou Kamiya!"
"!!!"
