Chapter 37 - New Friends

*Kenichi's POV*

Who would have thought that I would meet characters from another anime so early in the morning? At least I already knew them; I don't think there is anyone in this school who doesn't know them, especially Konoe, who has an incredibly large group of fans. I bet that even if they found out that she is actually a woman, they would still admire her.

Konoe Subaru comes from a family that has served as butlers for generations to the Suzutsuki family, but nowadays she is the only daughter in her family. Being a woman, she can't fulfill the butler job, but she asked Suzutsuki's father to give her a chance. He gave her a chance, but he had conditions: no one would find out that she was a woman during the three years of school.

Now that I remember, I am sure that in the group of students that was gathered around, I also saw the protagonist of Mayo Chiki.

That boy is even more unlucky than Rito. From what I remember from the anime, both his sister and his mother always used him as a practice dummy to do wrestling moves. In the end, he ended up suffering from gynophobia; it only takes a girl touching him for his nose to start bleeding. At first, it looked kind of funny, but sometimes he was even pitiful because he was beaten so much.

Most of the protagonists usually have atrocious parents who leave them living all alone or compromise them without their permission. That's the case for Rito and Raku. Luckily, that's not my case; my parents were always good people. They would never have done something like compromising me with a girl without my permission...

...

Why do I feel like I just raised a flag...?

It's been a while since we arrived at school, and the first class has just ended.

Mayu: "Excuse me~ Can someone help me carry these boxes with the class reports to the teacher's room~?"

The one who asked us that was Matsukaze Mayu, the art teacher, she is a short woman, she has purple colored hair combed up by gathering it over her right shoulder with a hair band along with a braid on her left shoulder, her eyes are purple colored, she wears a beige colored cardigan, she also has a dark green colored skirt that goes down to her ankles and just like almost all the teachers in this school, her breasts are huge.

She is another teacher at Nande Koko ni Sensei ga, she has such a kind and gentle personality that she has earned the nickname "Holy Mother Matsukaze" among all the students including the girls.

Shuu: "Of course that has to be me, Mayu-sensei~ I may have a fairly normal appearance, but I assure you that I am the strongest in this class~"

Mayu: "Ah~ But how trustworthy you are Shuu-kun~ Then, could you help me by carrying all these papers, I don't have the confidence to be able to carry them alone."

Shuu: "Leave it to me~"

After saying that, Shuu started walking to the desk quite confidently while smiling with his usual mocking expression, but when he tried to lift the box he found himself using all his strength and could barely lift them about 30cm, with that one alone he was already sweating all over the place while sighing tiredly and still had one more box left.

Shuu: "Ughhh...! I can... Agh....! Wooooo...!!!"

He's either struggling to lift the box or he's holding back the urge to go to the bathroom.

Mayu: "Y-You're fine Shuu-kun, don't worry about not being able to lift it, we can ask one of your classmates to help you."

Shuu: "N-No~ Mayu-sensei.... I'm a man who keeps his words.... Ughhh... I would never lower myself to ask my friends for help so blatantly after acting with such confidence.... Aghhh..."

Mayu: "B-But at this rate, recess time is going to be over."

Shuu: "O-Okay.... Please help me Kenichi-sama, Raku-sama!"

Kenichi: "You didn't even take five minutes to lower yourself to ask your friends for help."

Raku: "Yeah, for starters, why did you offer yourself when you know you're incredibly weak?"

Shuu: "Don't tell me that! What kind of man wouldn't want to show off a little in front of a beautiful woman like Mayu-sensei?"

Mayu: "Thank you for helping me, Saruyama-kun~ Ichijou-kun~"

After Mayu-sensei thanked us, I stood beside her trying to hold back my laughter, Raku just like Shuu was also struggling desperately trying to lift the box, both of them were making expressions as if they wanted to go to the bathroom.

Mayu: "D-Don't laugh Saruyama-kun."

Kenichi: "Sorry Mayu-sensei, I got a little carried away, you guys carry that box together, I'm going to carry the other one, at this rate we're going to be standing here all day waiting for you"

Shuu: "Don't be confident Kenichi, these boxes are much heavier than they should be, it's as if they had been put rocks on top of them."

Kenichi: "Stop exaggerating, by the looks of it I'm going to have to take you both out for exercise soon, especially you Raku"

Raku: "Why me!!!?"

Kenichi: (Because at this rate the Gangsters might end up killing you).

After telling them that both including Mayu-sensei, they were shocked looking at how I lifted one of the boxes without any problem, I even did it with only one hand, although I have to admit that they were not wrong, these boxes are really heavy, although for me this weight is nothing, if I was still like I was before receiving the system I would also be struggling like them.

I have to admit that it was quite funny how everyone was looking at them while they were walking together carrying a single box.

Shuu: "Damn, you tricked us, you've been carrying that box with only one hand from the beginning, that means you could have carried both of them by yourself without any problem."

Kenichi: "Hey~ You should thank me~ Didn't you want to show off in front of Mayu-sensei and the other girls?"

After leaving the boxes in the teacher's room and saying goodbye to Mayu-sensei, we started walking around the school while talking, lately aside from Lala and some of the girls I only hang out with Shuu and Raku, the rest of the guys in the class treat me like I'm a pest and honestly I'm not interested in hanging out with them either.

They all look pretty much like the trio of perverts, now that I remember them, the protagonist of Hajimete no Gal finally came back to school even though he always looks at me with resentment, but I'm not interested.

Shuu: "So, Kenichi~ How far have you gotten with Lala-chan?"

Raku: "O-Hey, Shuu~ What the hell are you asking!!!?"

Kenichi: "Concentrate on your own personal life, how have things progressed with Kyoko-sensei? I always hear you lecturing Raku, but I don't see you doing anything to let her know your feelings."

Shuu: "Ugh... You promised you weren't going to say anything like that..."

Raku: "H-Huh? Kyoko-sensei? W-Wait Shuu... Th-That means you're-"

Shuu: "Hahaha~ I don't know what you're talking about Kenichi, it's impossible for me to have feelings for that teacher who's close to thirty."

Kenichi: "You really think that, because a little birdie told me that she's dating someone and will most likely get married soon."

Shuu: "WHATTTTTTT!!!?"

When he heard what I said, even he who usually behaves funny and lively all the time got nervous, this is perfect, in the morning I was left wanting to keep teasing Suzutsuki, but right here I have two guinea pigs that I can tease without any problem.

Kenichi: "Don't take it so seriously~ it was just a joke, but it seems that your reaction completely convinced our clueless friend."

Raku: "Wait... This means that's for real! Since when?"

Shuu: "Ughhh.... That's why I didn't want you to find out, now you're going to want to help me confess my feelings to him?"

Kenichi: "I'm surprised you have the nerve to say that when you're the one who meddles the most in other people's relationships."

Hearing my argument, he couldn't say anything, because it was the truth, Shuu is quite reserved when it comes to his own feelings and hides them under a constant disguise of joy and happiness, that's why he usually has the habit of meddling in other people's affairs.

Shuu: "So, what... Do you think that if I confess my feelings to her she will reciprocate them?"

Kenichi: "That's a stupid question, of course.... That she's going to reject you..."

Shuu: "Aghhhhhhhhh!"

An imaginary arrow could be seen as it buried itself directly into his heart.

Raku: "Waaa.... That hurt even me."

Kenichi: "The reason why you haven't made any kind of effort to confess or to win her affection, is because you know perfectly well that she's going to reject you without me having to tell you, leaving aside her position as a teacher, it's hard for her to take you seriously when she only sees you as the funny guy in class"

Shuu: "Ughhhh!!! Aghhh!!! Haaaa!!!"

I have to admit that this imaginary arrows effect is pretty funny, I can even hear his heart breaking into a thousand pieces.

Raku: "Stop Kenichi, at this rate you're going to kill him."

Kenichi: "And you won't be saved from my sermon either Raku, how is it possible that in all this month you haven't been able to ask Onodera for a date not even once, in the end the only times you've gone out with her is when you're accompanied by other people, at this rate maybe another guy will steal her from you"

Raku: "AGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

I better stop teasing them for now, otherwise at this rate they might end up giving it back to me later.

As we were walking Raku didn't notice that from the other side of the hallway someone else was coming and in his depressed state he couldn't avoid it in time, at the moment of the collision only Raku was thrown off as he fell and rolled on the ground in an exaggerated way.

Shuu: "RAKUUUUUUU!!!"

Following the usual cliché pattern of anime, at this moment Raku should have collided with a beautiful girl with whom he would have a rather close relationship in the future, but sometimes cliché events like that aren't for all people....

Takeo: "Are you all right!"

Yes, who was standing in front of us was not a beautiful girl at all, it was quite the opposite....

In front of us was a 2mt giant who was looking at us with a lot of intensity, he had clean cut hair, he also had quite bushy eyebrows, a big nose and thick and fleshy lips, in general his face was quite intimidating, even for Raku who was used to seeing the Yakuzas of the Shuuei clan who were quite intimidating.

But lucky me, I just crossed paths with another character from a different anime, this guy's name is Gouda Takeo, the main character of a humor and romance anime called Oremonogatari, and quite contrary to his intimidating appearance, he was a very nice guy, but because of his face and big body he is often misunderstood by people.

I've wanted to meet him for a long time, I can see that he's quite strong, he along with Konoe are the two strongest humans I've seen so far, plus thanks to my ability to see talents I can see that his is definitely fight oriented.

Sunakawa: "It flew out pretty far, you have to be more careful Takeo, after all your body is too big."

Next to him was Sunakawa Makoto, Takeo's childhood friend, he had light brown hair and dark brown eyes, overall you could say he was quite attractive, he is a similar character to Shuu and I, he also serves the function of being the protagonist's friend and helping him when he is in trouble, although in the case of him Takeo is his only friend, he seems completely disinterested in everything else.

From what I understand, he along with Sasuga-sensei and second year Hayama Hayato, are the three most popular among the girls at school.

Takeo: "That's right... SORRY!"

Kenichi: "You have nothing to worry about, our friend was also distracted, hey get up already Raku, it's not like you got hit by a car, you also have to apologize for bumping into him!"

Raku: "A-Ah.... I'm really sorry sir"

Takeo: "..."

Kenichi: "What are you talking about, can't you see that he's wearing the same uniform as us?"

Raku: "Eh...?"

Shuu: "Wait... Are you serious!?"

...

...

...

I think my expression right now is similar to Sunakawa's, we were supposed to be just strolling around quietly and talking normally, then how come we all ended up sitting together on the rooftop while talking like we were best friends for life.

Shuu: "So you really have a girlfriend Takeo~"

Takeo: "Yeah, we started dating recently, her name is Yamato Rinko."

Raku: "Guh.... But how envious, I can barely talk to the girl I like."

I have to admit that Takeo is quite similar to Lala.... And I'm not saying that because of their looks, I'm saying that because they both have a kind of vibe that makes them easy to get along with, Takeo for example is quite popular among the boys at school.

Raku: "Wait, you met her when you saved her from a stalker on a train."

And because these guys are just as animated talking as the girls are about their romantic relationships.

Kenichi: "Hey, Takeo, since you have a girlfriend, do you think you could give Raku some advice, this guy is a total creep when it comes to that kind of stuff."

Raku: "O-Hey!"

Takeo: "But from what I heard you have a girlfriend too, right?"

Kenichi: "No, I'm not good to give him advice, my relationship with my girlfriend progressed too fast, Raku would hesitate even after marriage to hold Onodera's hand, I for one from the first day I met Lala I was already doing that."

Raku: "Ughhh..."

The moment he hears what I said, Takeo couldn't help but stand up and scream in an exaggerated manner.

Takeo: "YOU'RE TAKING HER HAND!!!"

Shuu: "Ah~ I think I understand now why you said he should give her advice."

Sunakawa: "This is Takeo's first time having a girlfriend after all, besides Yamato-san is also quite shy about doing that kind of thing."

Kenichi: "In Raku's case it's similar, it's obvious that they both have feelings for each other but they are so shy and insecure that they never dare to deepen their relationship any further."

At this point I think we should give up on helping Raku, I had intended for him to have a closer relationship with Onodera before Chitoge transferred to the school, but seeing how the number of Gangsters in the city is increasing every day, most likely she will transfer next month, starting the Nisekoi plot, it's too late, now it's up to Raku's decisions which girl he will stay with.

Takeo: "Huh? If the two of you have feelings for each other, then what's the problem?"

Kenichi: "The problem is that."

I told Takeo to turn to look at Raku, from the moment you mention that Onodera is in love with him, he started shaking his head intensely while refusing to believe it.

Kenichi: "As you can see, he's in complete denial, for some strange reason he thinks it's impossible that Onodera is in love with him, and in the same way she's pretty much the same way, that's why this guy's situation is so frustrating."

Sunakawa: "He reminds me a bit of Takeo when he thought Yamato-san was in love with me and that's why he invited him over to hang out so much."

Takeo: "HEY, SUNA! You can't blame me for that! All the girls I've fallen in love with in the past ended up falling in love with you!"

And what he didn't know is that they all talked bad about him behind his back, that's why Sunakawa rejected them all so curtly, they are both very good friends.

We were talking until it was time to go back to class, I have to admit that it was quite interesting to talk with them, although Sunakawa did not talk much, at least we could also get along well with him, we even agreed to go out together somewhere to hang out.

Lala: "Kenichi~ You finally came back~ Where were you?"

Kenichi: "I just went out to hang out with Raku and Shuu."

As soon as I got to the living room, Lala immediately jumped into my arms and started hugging me warmly while everyone looked at us resentfully.

Shuu: "Damn, these two are looking more and more like a married couple every day."

Raku: "Ah... Ten I understand, I'm kind of jealous, I'd also like to be this close with Onodera, I just hope the advice Takeo gave me will work."

Shuu: "Huh? Are you really going to do that?"

The advice Takeo gave to Raku, is to stay all the time looking at her with attention to her face and at no time look away from her, on Takeo looked weird when he did that looking people intensely in the face, but who knows, maybe to Raku that will work for him.

Kenichi: "You had a good time talking to the girls."

Lala: "Yeah~ I had a good time talking to the girls, I didn't let Risa touch my breasts either~"

Kenichi: "I see~ I see~ Well done."

Lala: "Hehehehe~"

Momioka: "You're a Demon, you're already monopolizing Lalacchi too much, why can't I touch even a little bit of her breasts? After all I'm one of her best friends, you've never heard that those kind of acts between women are normal"

Kenichi: "I would let you do it if I didn't know you had ulterior motives, besides I don't like you doing that in front of all the guys, how are you going to take responsibility if I accidentally end up hitting all of them for seeing Lala in a perverted way."

Momioka: "Guh.... You're such a cheapskate!"

After my usual banter with Momioka, I sat back in my seat and classes continued, this was another pretty normal day, anyone who saw such a peaceful school scene would never believe that this world is full of fantasy beings that could easily destroy the world.

I'm still a little worried about what's happening on the DxD side, it's disturbing that there are so many supernatural beings that casually kill humans, plus in that anime there's a faction called Khaos Brigade, that wants to bring chaos to the world, I just hope this town doesn't get caught up in all that shit.

Well, I say that but I know it's impossible, after all in this school also studies Toujou Basara, the protagonist of Shinmai Maou no Testament, an anime with a story quite similar to that of DxD so it's obvious that this city will also be involved in battles with supernatural beings.

Well, as long as they don't attack the people of the city I don't have much reason to meddle, besides I haven't seen the main heroine of that anime transfer to this school yet, so for the moment it's not a concern.

Now I was alone in the classroom studying a little, Lala went out to explore the school, apparently she wanted to meet again with some friends she made when she first came to school, as for the others, they all went out to attend to various matters, so now I was alone.

Haruna: "You're studying Saruyama-kun."

Kenichi: "Hmm, Sairenji, I thought you went to help Aya-sensei with some papers in the teacher's room?"

Haruna: "Yeah, it turns out it wasn't such an important matter, so I finished quickly."

Since I saved her from Ghi Bree we have been much more frequently than before, I was about to ask her if she wanted to study with me, but I realized something that left me very surprised and nervous.

Kenichi: "S-Sairenji... That on your wrist is..."

Haruna: "Hmm, Ha~ It's a bracelet that Lala-san gave me, she told me it was a sign of our friendship."

How can I not be nervous, the bracelet on Sairenji's wrist was the Pyon Pyon Warp-kun, that crazy teleportation invention that could teleport someone instantly to a random place, how come Lala thought of giving something so dangerous to Sairenji.

Kenichi: "Listen to me Sairenji, be very careful while touching that."

Haruna: "?"

But it seems my warning came too late, Sairenji unintentionally pressed it with his hand and it instantly started to glow while making a noise.

Haruna: "H-Huh? W-What is this?!?"

Kenichi: "No time to explain, Sairenji take my hand."

The teleportation function had already activated, so I hurried to take Sairenji's hand to teleport next to her and prevent her from ending up somewhere dangerous, but in my haste I forgot a very important detail about the Pyon Pyon Warp-kun.

...

*Narrator's POV*

Suddenly Kenichi and Haruna were enveloped by a bright green light that lasted only a few seconds, but when it faded away you couldn't see the figure of either of them anywhere, the only thing left was Kenichi's school clothes on his seat and Haruna's clothes along with her bra and panties lying on the floor.
