Riser POV
Looking around, I see him. That frizzy hair is just like him. That witty, sarcastic boy is here. I really am so stupid to not recognize this place, or this version of Shibuya. Looking at it now again, that idol was Rise. That burger joint is Big Bang Burger, where the challenge to eat a bigass burger was.
I mean that burger was as big as his head, then it just became as wide as his body. By him, I mean the protagonist. He really does look like him. Akira Kurusu really does look like Ren Amamiya doesn't he?
Time began to move as the Protagonist started to walk away.
"Nee, Riser-kun you know what that was don't you? You have that annoying look on your face like you know something I don't know, like when we are training together." Rias suspiciously asked me.
"Hmm, how would you like to go to school here for now Rias?" I asked her deflecting
"You know this world don't you?" Rias wouldn't let it go.
"Haa, fine yes, this is a big franchise. But you wouldn't like it if I spoiled the story so how would you like to witness their story right beside them? Do you want to be part of the protagonists or would you just want to witness their adventure in real time 3D animation?" I relented to her.
I started walking and accessing my phone to look at the maps app and searched for the nearest school. There were actually a lot of schools around here so browsing the website for each school, I finally saw the black iconic uniform of the era of this world.
"Hmm, I don't really know yet. I don't know the story of this world so I don't know if interfering will be good or not for the main characters of this world… though if we are going to school to see them then I wouldn't mind." Haa ever the kind and considerate woman. I'm sure she would like nothing more than to live her dreams of being in an anime and pretending to be an overpowered Isekai main character.
But she still worries if the people of this world would be in danger.
So I led her to Shujin Academy, the place where the debut of the Phantom Thieves of Heart took place. It was smaller than Kuoh Academy, but for me, it was perfect. I felt so nostalgic just looking at it. And I haven't even been a student here yet.
But I spent hours just exploring this world, it felt like I was actually a student here. Though I imagine I would be kicked out if I was actually a normal human here.
Because I would absolutely deck that pedophile in the face then kick him in the nuts so hard, his balls would break and flood through his body.
Anyways walking through the school I could see the students all looking at us. And I can't even blame them. With me having the aristocratic face of Gilgamesh, one of the most handsome men to exist, the combination of a god and human flows through his veins leading to him being beautiful.
And I am not just Gilgamesh. I have his looks but to this body's core is a devil, and the devils have that supernatural charm to them that just makes everything they do, beautiful or seductive. In the case of Rias though.
Yeah everyone is staring at her. Not just because of her devil charm but because of her natural body that can't be natural in a human's. Basically she is the living hentai dream of every teenage boy.
"Is this where the story will be?" Rias asked me, not caring about the dozens of stares she was getting.
"Yes, and I will go and enroll both of us here for now. I want to see the protagonist of this. Why don't you see if you can see who the important people here are. You already have a clue, seeing this is a school, it can only be the students. Like you have been doing in your own school." I distracted Rias as I asked the students where the principal's office was.
Rias kept looking around the students more attentively now. I actually saw one blonde hair student in the crowd. Yeah, I gotta fix that limp. I actually like all the characters in Persona 5, they weren't perfect, but for a guy who doesn't have a life, they were.
Finally arriving in the principal's office, I knocked and was let in with a, "Come in.".
Entering the room, I saw a small but huge person. An oxymoron that is greater than the current velvet room attendant. How can someone that is not that big have no neck at all, he seriously looks like a blobfish out of water.
"Good Afternoon, Mr. Kobayakawa," I read the plate he had on his desk, "I am Riser Phenex, and this is Rias Gremory. We are here today to enroll in your esteemed school. I heard that it was one of the best schools here in Japan. And my friend here loved this country so much that she decided to transfer here." I lied with a straight smiling face.
"I am sorry but there are procedures that has to be-" I cut him off as I laid two briefcases that I prepared beforehand, opening it and out came the anime glow you often see as wads of cash neatly packed in it was seen by the money signed eyes of the overweight principal.
"I'm sorry but we really need to be enrolled here immediately, preferably tomorrow. We are willing to support the school in any way we can, of course." Rias looked at me strangely.
"I-I see, well, education is the most important thing for the youths. And I believe in giving the best future for them, so welcome to our esteemed school indeed." The most definitely corrupt principal accepted the money with no explanation or anything. This is why I love capitalism.
We discussed more things after that, like what grade we would be in. But ultimately, we were enrolled successfully in Shujin Academy. And we would start tomorrow which actually made me a little nervous, tomorrow the game would officially start after all. We went to get our uniforms.
I was surprised that they actually got Rias' size. How in the world they even got that kind of size I don't know. Genuinely Rias has a hentai body.
Leaving the school I saw in the corner of my eye a fairly tall man in a white t-shirt looking at Rias with a lewd smile on his face. I wanted to tear his face off and shit in his throat but I decided to just ignore him for now. If he ever targets Rias…
"Why didn't you just hypnotize him, Riser?" I was interrupted from my inner musings by Rias as we walked away from the school.
I turned to her immediately and told her seriously, "Never hypnotize anyone in this reality Rias, promise me, you will never manipulate anyone here."
She was taken aback by the seriousness in my voice but just nodded.
"There are beings here that protect humanity, so even if they are a bad guy or something, don't use hypnotism here alright?" Seriously, I don't want to attract the attention of Philemon here, not to mention, this is the Persona series but it is connected to Shin Megami Tensei. If we attract the attention of those beings… Nah, I'll lose… No, it's better to say guess I'll die in that situation.
Though I hope that when Philemon sees us helping with the 'Rehabilitation' he'll spare us. It's something for other gods to interfere in the game, but if a lowly demon decides to interfere, I don't know how he will take it after all.
We continued on to Shibuya and Rias decided to head home after eating at Big Bang Burger.
Though I decided to stop by one alley first, looking in. I wonder if I could see the door to the velvet room and I see nothing there. Is it because I just don't have the invitation or is it just not here yet.
I'll go again once we establish the Phantom Thieves I guess, look at me already thinking I am part of them, I must be too giddy to meet my favorite characters.
I just want to see my idols from the velvet room.
Going back to our home, my apartment, we just watched anime in the living room. We weren't really cuddling just sitting on the sofa hanging out. After some time though I could feel something resting in my shoulders.
Looking to the side, Rias was leaning on me, snoring cutely with her body laid on me.
I lifted her up in a princess carry and took her to her room and took her to bed, not to take her but to just let her sleep. I left the room and slept in my own room. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow.

Rias POV
Why did he carry me like that? It was too much like the anime we were just watching. Did he do that just to make my heart race?
This is unfair, how can he just do things like that naturally like an anime character in a shoujo anime.
I can feel the heat from my face and see steam wafting from it. I don't even know if I could sleep like this, and our school life adventure is tomorrow. I really need to sleep but… Geez was I really so spoiled by our time together that I can't even sleep anymore without him massaging me.
It kind of became a part of our life now huh, these last few days. It's not fair, those hands of his are just too good. He probably practiced on his peerage so much…
Why does that make me feel a little annoyed? I'm not jealous. Why would I be? It's not like I like him or anything, I'm just using him to travel to anime worlds and such.
Yeah, It's not like I like him o-... I sound like a tsundere, what is happening to me? I am not a tsundere and certainly not for him, just stop thinking about him Rias, just think about what will happen tomorrow.
Yeah, tomorrow I will be in the start of an anime, though I don't know the story but I can speculate on what it is. There was a supernatural fire in Shibuya that people didn't react to. That means the supernatural is real in this world.
Ri-kun enrolled us in a school so it must be a shounen battle school manga. Geez, Ri-kun should have just told me the story so I can be better prepared. He's just trying to bully me with this isn't he? Ri-ku-... When did I even start calling him Ri-kun in my head?
What even is happening?
…
…
…
"Rias, wake up. We have school today" I can feel someone shaking me.
"Five more minutes…" I wave them off.
"It's the start of the story Rias." I open my eyes to see Ri-kun. Oh yeah we are going to school today…
Oh my satan, seeing his face made me remember what happened but I have to focus on the anime adventure. How did I actually sleep through this?

Riser POV
The rain was pouring in Shibuya. I forgot all about this. I was so excited to meet the cast that I just went on through and decided to hurry over and find them. Why am I so impulsive sometimes?
Keeping my eyes open, looking for the moment where it will begin, a car stopped in the middle of the road, and as it picked someone up, it drove away. And from my view appeared him. I would never mistake him for anyone.
That frizzy hair, those nerdy glasses, and that rizz he had just from standing there. Yep that's him alright. I found him once again, the trickster, the prisoner of fate, the smash character that I actually spent money on, the most dramatic of the persona protagonists. It's Joker.
What should I do here? Should I just go and meet him or should I go and be creepy about it and just stalk him? Decisions, decisions.
