Waking up in the body of a Romani Archaman is acceptable. Getting 3rd and 1st True Magics is nice. Getting Beasts as pets - delightful. The world of DxD is unforgivable. It's a world where some teenagers who aren't even two decades old somehow mystically defeat the descendants of legendary heroes, ancient demons, powerful dragons, etc. Why does this happen? Simply because! Simply put, this world only makes sense because it doesn't. And now, I have to put up with the fact that I live here. Such pain. (DxDxMulti)

Kuoh City. Kuoh Academy. Medical Room.
It had been five years since I woke up in my new body. After spending so much time in this world, I was beginning to wonder why I was even here. I understand the concept of reincarnation and transmigration from manga and anime, but how shall I put it... Why would it be necessary in an already finished work if even without it, the plot would move forward?
KNOCK KNOCK
- "Come in."
- "Excuse me, Dr Romani," said a woman's voice.
The door opened and Tsubaki Shinra along with the Perverted Trio entered the medical room and bowed.
- "Oh! Tsubaki-san. Are they at it again?" I asked with a sigh.
- "Yes. They were beaten up by the kendo club again,'' she replied with the same sigh.
- "Got it. You can go to class now. I'll take care of them."
She nodded and, bowing, left.
I looked at the squirming trio and rubbed my temples.
- "What are we going to do with you? Aren't you tired of getting caught and bruised? Are your hobbies really worth this kind of suffering?"
- "Sensei! You're a man too! You must understand our attraction to the female body!" Despite his injuries, Issei cried out, and his accomplices nodded.
And how the hell did he become the strongest Ddraig host? Oh wait, I know the answer. The main character's plot armor! I got a headache.
- "Okay. Come one at a time so I can treat your wounds," I said, trying to smile.
- "Got it," all three of them shrieked.
While I was treating them, a deep voice was heard in my head.
- "Hm. And this is the one who is destined to defeat the Beast VI of this world? We can't understand this."
- "Heh. You don't have to try to understand it, Goetia. I gave up long ago and accepted reality. I suggest you do the same."
- "Then why are you still in this school? We remember you saying that this place is the epicentre of future events. Wouldn't it be wiser to leave it and find another one?"
- "I thought about that too, but I decided that finding out why I was here was... more acceptable."
Yep. How drastically my life has changed if I'm talking to the Beast I in my head.
- "Done. Now, if you'd be so kind as to stay away from the girls. You're creating extra work for me that I can absolutely avoid. Do you understand me, degenerate trio?" I asked with a creepy smile.
- "Y-yes!" they shrieked and ran out of the infirmary.
I grinned and, turning to the empty corner of the office, asked:
- "Heh. What do you think of them, Eroge Protagonist Rank EX?"
- "Stop calling me that, Master. I have no idea how I obtained this skill,'' the heroic spirit materialised and replied.
Allow me to introduce to you 'Bone of my Sword', 'Queen of Britannia', 'Actually Satan', and most importantly, the 'Eroge Protagonist Rank EX' - Archer Emiya.
- "Come on! There's no need to be embarrassed. You can't deny the fact that the skill is fairly earned,'' I snickered.
- "Why are all my Masters so unpleasant...'' Emiya muttered, clutching his head with his hands.
- "Rank E luck, I guess?"
Heh. Now he's hitting the wall. Poor bastard.
- "Anyway, how was your round of the city?" I took pity on him.
- "I managed to eliminate three renegade demons. Master, you said there were two Pillar heiresses watching over the area, didn't you? Then what the hell are they doing?"
- "Oya. Are you being a hero of justice again?" I teased him, "The answer to your question is very simple. There is only one heiress who fulfils her duties faithfully."
He raised an eyebrow and asked me to continue.
- "The other one, namely Rias Gremory, is busy with a very important business."
- "Important business? What could be more important than the lives of the people under her jurisdiction?" he asked incredulously.
- "Oh! It's simple," I paused dramatically, "Recruiting new members of her entourage to avoid a marriage of convenience!"
I giggled madly while Emiya did a facepalm with a very loud clap.
No offence to demons, but how did Rias become an heiress? I'm not saying she has to be perfect or anything, but, overseeing the territory entrusted to her should be part of the minimum requirements of an heiress, right?
While I was pondering, Emiya decided to speak up.
- "Master, I think you should summon more Servants. If the future events you described happen, we might need more hands."
- "Heh. What are you talking about? Don't tell me you've forgotten that I wield two True Magics or, for that matter, about the Beasts of the House?" I said, adopting an aggrieved pose, "And you are not the only Servant I have summoned. Isn't Enkidu alone enough for you?"
He grimaced, but he said:
- "True. But if the war zone is large, Enkidu and I may not be enough."
- "Hmm. Hmm. I suppose you're right," I scratched my chin and replied, "Any preferences?"
Emiya thought for a few moments and then answered:
- "Since the Archer and Lancer classes have already been called up, I suggest calling up the rest of the standard cast."
- "Oya. Would you like to see Artoria? How about Medusa? Or both? You can ask me directly, you don't have to be shy," I said snidely.
He blushed and looked away. Heh. A man wants to see his harem... How sweet.
- "Don't worry. I was planning on calling them anyway. I just needed an excuse," I reassured him, and looked at my watch.
Okay. Four more hours until the end of the day. I think we can sleep.
- "Wake me up if someone comes."
Emiya nodded and dematerialised.

Kuoh City. Outdoor.
4 hours later.
Walking home, I asked Emiya:
- "Now that we've dealt with Saber and Rider, what about the others? I'm sure you, being a Counter-Guardian, know a lot of heroic spirits and
can suggest someone specific."
- "I think Merlin might be a good fit for the role of Caster," he replied after a bit of thought.
- "Ho. Why him?"
- "Although he's an annoying bastard, his knowledge of magic will be very useful."
- "Heh. I see."
We finally reached our house. I was too lazy to come up with any special design, so I just created a replica of Emiya Fuyuki's Residence.
As soon as I stepped over the threshold of the house, a blue rocket flew into me.
- "Oya. Did mummy miss you? Yeah. Good girl. At least let me go inside. Then we can cuddle," I said, stroking the blue rocket.
She reluctantly let go of me and headed for the couch. I looked around, looking for Emiya, who had disappeared while I was being cuddled, and found him in the kitchen with Enkidu helping him there. Heh. Emiya's mum is at it again.
I went to my room and changed my clothes. When I opened the door, I was distracted by a certain white coloured animal.
- "Fou!"
- "Hello to you too, Fou. How many hours did you sleep this time?"
- "Fou, fou, kyu!"
- "Who are you trying to lie to, you furry bastard! Like you can stay awake for more than two hours a day."
- "Fou, kyu!"
- "Is that the mouth you kiss your mum with?" I asked a rhetorical question and went to the common room.
- "Fou, fou, kyu!"
- "At least I'm done. Now stop whining and let's go. Emiya's mum is already preparing dinner for us. And I don't think you'd want to miss your meal."
- "Fou," he declared and jumped on my shoulder.
When I reached the lounge, I sat down on the couch, and I was immediately enveloped in the slender and graceful arms of the Primordial Goddess, knocking Fou off my shoulder in the process. He landed on the coffee table in front of the couch and snorted, crossing his arms over his chest. Tiamat smiled softly and snuggled back against me.
- "Dinner is ready," I heard Emiya's voice.
I pulled Tiamat off me and headed to the dining table with her. As we sat down, Goetia appeared next to us in his humanoid form and took his place at the table as well. Fou was already on the table waiting for his portion.
Yep. This is how my days go by in my new life.

How about you write like you're not posting on Wattpad, and know the basic rules of literature? There should be spaces between paragraphs, for one.

The Emiya residence. Basement.
We went down to the basement of the house and stood in front of the summoning circle. Hmm. Hmm. Aside from Merlin as Caster, I guess I'll leave the rest to random chance.
I activated the 3rd magic and the circle lit up. A few seconds later, the basement filled with flower petals and Merlin appeared before us.
- "Oh! Glorious heroes! Court Mage of Camelot, Mentor of Kings, Mage of Flowers..."
- "And a pervert! / Fou!" I interrupted him, and Fou flew off his foot and into his face like Superman.
Merlin flew back from his blow and slammed into the wall.
- "My face! You stupid animal again?! All my concern for you is just an empty sound in your head? Aggh! Stop hitting me, damn it!"
- "Heeheeheeheehee..." I giggled madly as I saw what was happening in front of me.
Live, the scene of a legendary mage being beaten up by a small beast was even funnier than I expected. Oh! Is that a Mortal Kombat-style uppercut from Fou?! I even thought I saw some sort of x-ray of broken bones.
- "I think he's done for the day, hairball. You can take your fight with him another time. We have yet to summon the rest of the Servants."
- "Fou!" he barked as he let go of Merlin, walked over to Tiamat and sat on her head.
- "Merlin, are you all right?" I asked, looking interested.
He stood up and shook himself off. He didn't look so bad. Heh. I guess I'll fix that. I used 1st magic and corrected him. Merlin widened his eyes, but quickly regained his composure.
- "Caster-class servant, Merlin Ambrosius. Who is my Master?" He asked and made a slight bow.
- "That would be me," I replied.
- "I apologize, Master, but I just saw you using 1st Magic? And why are there other Servants here?"
- "That's right. Although, I can use 3rd magic as well. And the other Servants are your coworkers for the foreseeable future. Heh."
- "Emiya, Archer class. / Enkidu, Lancer class," they introduced themselves.
He nodded and looked around the room. Seeing Tiamat with Fou sitting on her head, he was wary.
- "Master, may I ask what the Beasts are doing here?"
- "Oya. You call this caring Primordial Goddess and a completely harmless white clump of fur Beasts? How insensitive."
- "Since it doesn't bother you, you can forget my question," he muttered with a twitching eye.
- "Heh. You adapted to the current situation rather quickly,'' I replied with a smirk, "Now, get back to Emiya and Enkidu. I need to summon the rest of the Servants."
He raised an eyebrow, but stepped back. Fou's gaze had not left Merlin's since his summoning. Well, we can leave it to him.
I activated the circle once more and, this time, a certain woman in blue and silver armor appeared.
- "A servant of the Saber class, Artoria Pendragon. You are my Master?"
- "I am. And Artoria, you might want to say hello to some old friends," I said and pointed my hand at the fleeing Merlin.
She looked in the direction indicated and her fist came across his face. Again.
- "Merli-i-i-in!"
- "C-calm down, Artoria. This is how you meet your mentor?! And why are all the punches aimed at my face!" he shrieked, rubbing the spot where he'd been hit.
I wasn't the only one laughing this time. Emiya broke out into giggles as well, and his shoulders, now and then, twitched. The others had their own reactions to what was happening, Enkidu shrugged, Tiamat was still smiling, and Fou was nodding.
- "If you're done, I'll continue the invocation," I said, looking at the duo of teacher and student.
Artoria had the conscience to blush. She nodded and stepped aside, dragging Merlin behind her.
I wonder if Emiya really recommended summoning him just because of his magical knowledge? Maybe it was an act of revenge? I looked at him, and he looked away. How vindictive we are, Emiya's mom.
After another summoning, Rider appeared with his long purple hair.
- "Rider class servant, Medusa. Dispose of me as you wish, Master," she said in a monotone.
Oh, God. God. The waifu of all waifu. The dress, the hair, the face... And she was called a "monster"? I grinned.
- "Okay. Step aside, please. There will be an explanation a little later."
She nodded and walked towards the rest of the group, greeting Emiya and Artoria. I assume she remembers something from the Fifth Grail War?
Right. Only Assassin and Berserker left. I think we should speed things up. I'm calling out both classes at once.
I pumped a large amount of mana into the circle, and it lit up brighter than the previous times.
As the light faded, two male figures appeared in front of me.
- "Arghhhhhh," Hercules growled.
Well, the Berserker is clear. But the second Servant... I know him very well. No, you don't. Everyone here knows this particular Servant very well. A huge sword, metal armor and a skull mask with blue lights burning in it.
- "Put your fear aside, summoner. Assassin class. I have no name, but I was once called the Old Man of the Mountain. Are you my Master?" he said in his deep voice.
Oh, my God! I really was able to summon him! He looks so cool! My inner fan can't contain himself anymore.
- "Yes! It's really nice to meet you, Grandpa!" I shrieked.
The people present were wary, some of them even drew their weapons. Tiamat growled softly and glared threateningly at the summoned Servant.
But I didn't look at the people around me. I didn't give a damn. How could I NOT focus my attention on the coolest Servant in the entire Nasuverse!
- "Hmm. 'Grandpa'? I've never been called that before," King Hassan said in his awesome voice.
- "Yes! I mean... Yes?! Then you don't mind if I call you that, do you?" I asked excitedly.
- "Hmm," he thought and rubbed his chin, "I can accept it. You can call me 'Grandpa', Master."
Oh! I won't deny that I screamed like a Sasuke fan from a certain anime. Absolutely not.
- "Well! Let's go to the common room and I'll explain all the details!" I said, still happy about King Hassan's call, and headed towards the basement exit.
The others followed me, still wary of the Grand Servant's call.

Emiya's residence. Common Room.
Once everyone was seated, I began to explain the structure of this world and its details. It took about half an hour, and during that time, no one tried to interrupt me, and everyone listened attentively.
- "Any questions?"
The first to ask a question was a frazzled Merlin.
- "Master, are you saying that there is no Alaya in this world, and Gaia is not the same as in our original world?"
- "Uh-huh. After all, this world hasn't had the Age of Man. And you may have noticed that the concentration of mana in the air here is quite dense. And you may address me without formality. That goes for everyone else as well."
He nodded, and Artoria, who was standing too close to Emiya, took the floor. Eroge Protagonist Rank EX rank is at it again.
- "You mentioned the Pendragon family. Can you elaborate on that?"
- "Hmm. Hmm. I don't know the exact details, but I can definitely mention two people from there, Le Fay Pendragon and Arthur Pendragon. These brother and sister ran away from their family, taking Excalibur Ruler with them."
- "Excalibur Ruler? What is that?"
A look of indignation appeared on Artoria's face. Oops.
- "Uh. You better be prepared," I said and paused, "In a nutshell, the Excalibur of this world was shattered and forged into seven separate swords that were labeled 'Excalibur' in their names."
By now, Artoria's indignation had been passed on to the others, and her own had turned to rage.
- "How?! How can it be 'shattered'?! It's simply impossible!" she shrieked and grabbed me by the collar.
- "Whoa, whoa. Calm down. I can't understand it either. And given the logic of this world, I'm not trying to. Maybe if we get them together, you can make him look like his old self again," I said quickly and held up my hands.
- "We'll do it!" Artoria shrieked, and the others nodded, especially Emiya and Merlin, "We can't let a sword like that stay in this state any longer!"
- "Well, not that I don't already have such plans, but I understand your zeal in this matter," I reassured her.
I looked at the others and noticed Medusa's frown even through her mask.
- "Hmm? You don't have to worry about the Greek gods, Medusa. You don't think they'd be stronger than certain individuals here," I said.
- "No. I apologize, Master," she apologized and bowed.
- "Good. Since there are no other questions. Grandpa, do you want to look around?" I asked.
He nodded and disappeared. Damn, even I, who possesses two True Magics, couldn't sense anything. How cool!
- "Well. Gentlemen. What do you want for dinner?"
When does the story start in there? Uh, soon, I think.

- "Heh. You adapted to the current situation rather quickly,'' I replied with a smirk, "Now, get back to Emiya and Enkidu. I need to summon the rest of the Servants."
He raised an eyebrow, but stepped back. Fou's gaze had not left Merlin's since his summoning. Well, we can leave it to him.
I activated the circle once more and, this time, a certain woman in blue and silver armor appeared.
- "A servant of the Saber class, Artoria Pendragon. You are my Master?"
- "I am. And Artoria, you might want to say hello to some old friends," I said and pointed my hand at the fleeing Merlin.
She looked in the direction indicated and her fist came across his face. Again.
- "Merli-i-i-in!"
- "C-calm down, Artoria. This is how you meet your mentor?! And why are all the punches aimed at my face!" he shrieked, rubbing the spot where he'd been hit.
I wasn't the only one laughing this time. Emiya broke out into giggles as well, and his shoulders, now and then, twitched. The others had their own reactions to what was happening, Enkidu shrugged, Tiamat was still smiling, and Fou was nodding.
- "If you're done, I'll continue the invocation," I said, looking at the duo of teacher and student.
Artoria had the conscience to blush. She nodded and stepped aside, dragging Merlin behind her.
I wonder if Emiya really recommended summoning him just because of his magical knowledge? Maybe it was an act of revenge? I looked at him, and he looked away. How vindictive we are, Emiya's mom.
After another summoning, Rider appeared with his long purple hair.
- "Rider class servant, Medusa. Dispose of me as you wish, Master," she said in a monotone.
Oh, God. God. The waifu of all waifu. The dress, the hair, the face... And she was called a "monster"? I grinned.
- "Okay. Step aside, please. There will be an explanation a little later."
She nodded and walked towards the rest of the group, greeting Emiya and Artoria. I assume she remembers something from the Fifth Grail War?
Right. Only Assassin and Berserker left. I think we should speed things up. I'm calling out both classes at once.
I pumped a large amount of mana into the circle, and it lit up brighter than the previous times.
As the light faded, two male figures appeared in front of me.
- "Arghhhhhh," Hercules growled.
Well, the Berserker is clear. But the second Servant... I know him very well. No, you don't. Everyone here knows this particular Servant very well. A huge sword, metal armor and a skull mask with blue lights burning in it.
- "Put your fear aside, summoner. Assassin class. I have no name, but I was once called the Old Man of the Mountain. Are you my Master?" he said in his deep voice.
Oh, my God! I really was able to summon him! He looks so cool! My inner fan can't contain himself anymore.
- "Yes! It's really nice to meet you, Grandpa!" I shrieked.
The people present were wary, some of them even drew their weapons. Tiamat growled softly and glared threateningly at the summoned Servant.
But I didn't look at the people around me. I didn't give a damn. How could I NOT focus my attention on the coolest Servant in the entire Nasuverse!
- "Hmm. 'Grandpa'? I've never been called that before," King Hassan said in his awesome voice.
- "Yes! I mean... Yes?! Then you don't mind if I call you that, do you?" I asked excitedly.
- "Hmm," he thought and rubbed his chin, "I can accept it. You can call me 'Grandpa', Master."
Oh! I won't deny that I screamed like a Sasuke fan from a certain anime. Absolutely not.
- "Well! Let's go to the common room and I'll explain all the details!" I said, still happy about King Hassan's call, and headed towards the basement exit.
The others followed me, still wary of the Grand Servant's call.

Emiya's residence. Common Room.
Once everyone was seated, I began to explain the structure of this world and its details. It took about half an hour, and during that time, no one tried to interrupt me, and everyone listened attentively.
- "Any questions?"
The first to ask a question was a frazzled Merlin.
- "Master, are you saying that there is no Alaya in this world, and Gaia is not the same as in our original world?"
- "Uh-huh. After all, this world hasn't had the Age of Man. And you may have noticed that the concentration of mana in the air here is quite dense. And you may address me without formality. That goes for everyone else as well."
He nodded, and Artoria, who was standing too close to Emiya, took the floor. Eroge Protagonist Rank EX rank is at it again.
- "You mentioned the Pendragon family. Can you elaborate on that?"
- "Hmm. Hmm. I don't know the exact details, but I can definitely mention two people from there, Le Fay Pendragon and Arthur Pendragon. These brother and sister ran away from their family, taking Excalibur Ruler with them."
- "Excalibur Ruler? What is that?"
A look of indignation appeared on Artoria's face. Oops.
- "Uh. You better be prepared," I said and paused, "In a nutshell, the Excalibur of this world was shattered and forged into seven separate swords that were labeled 'Excalibur' in their names."
By now, Artoria's indignation had been passed on to the others, and her own had turned to rage.
- "How?! How can it be 'shattered'?! It's simply impossible!" she shrieked and grabbed me by the collar.
- "Whoa, whoa. Calm down. I can't understand it either. And given the logic of this world, I'm not trying to. Maybe if we get them together, you can make him look like his old self again," I said quickly and held up my hands.
- "We'll do it!" Artoria shrieked, and the others nodded, especially Emiya and Merlin, "We can't let a sword like that stay in this state any longer!"
- "Well, not that I don't already have such plans, but I understand your zeal in this matter," I reassured her.
I looked at the others and noticed Medusa's frown even through her mask.
- "Hmm? You don't have to worry about the Greek gods, Medusa. You don't think they'd be stronger than certain individuals here," I said.
- "No. I apologize, Master," she apologized and bowed.
- "Good. Since there are no other questions. Grandpa, do you want to look around?" I asked.
He nodded and disappeared. Damn, even I, who possesses two True Magics, couldn't sense anything. How cool!
- "Well. Gentlemen. What do you want for dinner?"
When does the story start in there? Uh, soon, I think.

Kuoh Academy. Medical room.
- "Sensei, I have a girlfriend!" Issei burst into the room and yelled, "Why do you have that look on your face?"
What's it saying? My gaze was most definitely not that of a dead fish.
- "And?" I asked him, "Please give me one single reason why I should know that, Issei."
- "I distinctly remember you saying that if I ever got a girlfriend, it would be the last event of my life, don't you, Sensei?"
Dude. You have no idea how right I am.
- "Are you sure this girl isn't a figment of your twisted imagination? I wouldn't be surprised, considering the beatings you and your friends get."
- "No!" he shrieked and pulled out his cell phone, "Here! See? She's real!"
Yeah. The Amano Yuma. Heh. The kid's going to die.
- "I see. Let your cockroaches in your head be yours alone. Now, don't stop me from working," I said and pointed to the door.
- "But you're not even working! Anyway, you will see that all this is real."
With those words, he walked out of the office.
- "Hmm? Merlin, what are you doing at school?" I shifted my gaze from the door to the bunk that was empty a few minutes ago.
- "Master! How could you do this to me! How could you not mention all those jewels hanging around the school!" He shrieked, pointing outside the window.
- "Hehe. If I'm not mistaken, the Lady of the Lake locked you in the tower because you were spying on her. Are you sure you're not a native of this world? I'd believe it in a heartbeat."
- "Oh! I'd be all for it! You v..."
I snapped my fingers and, in the same nanosecond, Fou smashed into Merlin's face.
- "Agh! Cat Palug! Stop hitting me!"
- "Die, Merlin! Fou!"
I watched this spectacle and sipped coffee from my mug. Ah. Stability.

Kuoh City Park.
Sunday. Evening.
I don't know why, but I still decided to watch that very scene with my own eyes. Me, Emiya and Fou stood in the shade of the trees and watched Cannonmeat and Issei.
- "Master, are we really just going to watch?" Emiya asked doubtfully.
- "What do you mean 'we'? You're the one who followed us, right, Fou?"
- "Fou."
- "That's right, he's trying to escape from his harem! You're so amazing, Professor!"
- "Fou, kyu," Fou sneered, assuming a serious look.
- "Are you saying that his Sword Bone doesn't hold up, honorable Fou? Is that the reason for his current actions?"
- "Shut up both of you! I didn't escape! It was just a tactical retreat!"
- "I mean, you ran away." / "Fou." we said at the same time.
- "Enough! Why can't you focus on more important things?! Why do I have to suffer?!" Emiya cowered in the palm of his hand.
- "Accept it, Emiya. It's all the fault of your luck rank, which, please note, is lower even than Lancer's."
Heh. Now he looks like a puppet with its strings cut off.
Hmm? I think we missed the pervert's murder scene.
- "Are you happy, Master? You missed what you came for."
- "Well. It's no big deal. Anyway, any minute now, a scarlet-haired demoness will be here to turn him into a demon. Goetia, do you want to talk to her?" I asked Beast I.
Not only Goetia himself was surprised at my words, but also my current companions.
- "We do not wish to be your entertainment, Romani," he spoke up.
- "Are you trying to kill her with a heart attack, Master?" Emiya asked.
- "Do you really think I am trying to kill her?" I asked resentfully, and Emiya and Fou nodded, "No, no. I just thought, since we're going to reveal ourselves in the future, why not set the stage for it? And, Goetia, you'll only be half my entertainment. After all, Gremory and Bael will want to socialize with their descendant from this world, won't they?"
In response to my words, Goetia materialized beside me and headed towards Issei.
- "Well. Let's look at the reunion of relatives from different worlds, I suppose?" I grinned.
Rias didn't keep us waiting long. She appeared from the summoning circle and successfully turned the pervert into a demon. As she was about to leave, she saw Goetia walking slowly toward her.
She froze, her mouth wide open and her eyes unblinking.
- "W-who are you?" Shivering, she asked.
- "Don't you recognize us, offspring of Gremory and Bael?" Goetia wondered, "Does not your blood exult in meeting us? Do you not stand in awe of us?"
Oh, brother. Why are you being so dramatic? Look at her. Her face hasn't changed even though she's already fallen. And I don't think she even noticed it.
- "I-I-I-- Y-You-..."
Yep. Rias passed out. Seeing this, we walked out to their driveway.
- "Oh, boy, oh, boy. Don't you want to try your hand at theater? You obviously have all the skills you need," I said, clapping my hands.
- "Your statement is redundant, Romani Archaman. We are perfect at everything."
- "That's right. Especially your sense of humor."
Goetia remained silent and dematerialized.
- "What do we do with them, Master? Leaving them here is not an option," Emiya said, looking around at the teenagers.
I found the recruitment circle flyer and started studying it. Hehe. "Any wish granted?" Why not play with demons? I activated the circle and Akeno came out of it.
- "Oya. So you're a demon, Akeno-san? Is that the reason for your 'dignities' of this size? The male part of Kuoh Academy is in for a huge disappointment," I said in an overly surprised voice.
- "Ara-ara. Romani-sensei, what are you doing here at this hour?" She asked in a seductive voice, but when she saw Rias and Issei unconscious, she became wary, "What have you done to them? And who are your companions?"
- "Oh! You mean them? I had nothing to do with it, word from the Kuoh Academy nurse! This beast is my pet and the man is my cook,'' I replied smiling.
Hearing my words, Fou started poking my cheek, and Emiya sighed tiredly.
- "You can take them, Akeno-san. There's nothing wrong with them, I checked. If you want, I can come to your club tomorrow and talk."
- "Alright. That's fine with me," she nodded, activating the teleportation circle, "One more thing, Romani-sensei. My 'dignities' are completely natural."
After Akeno teleported herself and the two unconscious teenagers, there was silence.
- "Were you really interested in that question, Master? Have you become a pervert as well? And why am I a cook?" Emiya asked with a twitching eye.
- "Because you are the cook? And a mom. And a cleaner. And a helper. And..."
- "I got it!" He interrupted me with a scream, "Answer the question."
- "Well, you must understand me. How can these things exist without breaking their owner's back? Gravity doesn't work on them?" I explained, "And anyway, why did you bring it up? Is Akeno your next target? Oh! I get it. You lack the same 'toughness' that Rin had. After all, both she and Akeno are into BDSM games."
Emiya fell to her knees and started cursing her life.
- "Fou?" Fou asked of the Fallen.
- "Let them live for now. They will be dealt with within a week. Why do you ask?"
- "I asked him to do it," Grandpa's voice came from behind me.
- "Oh! Grandpa? Why did you want to ask that?" Turning to him, I asked.
- "They turned away from God's grace. The evening bell rang their names."
- "Heh. I see," I said and thought, "Then let's do things a little differently than planned. Grandpa, can you wait for a bit? I promise you'll deal with them personally, but at a certain point."
He nodded and disappeared. Well, that's taken care of. Rias's group would have to do without a showdown at the local Church.

- "Come in."
The door opened and Kiba walked into the office.
- "Romani-sensei, are you ready to go to the club?" He asked nervously.
- "Yup," I stood up and walked over to him, "Why are you so anxious?"
- "There are certain reasons,'' Kiba answered still as nervously.
- "Oya. Don't tell me there's a certain scarlet-haired man and his maid in the club, right?"
- "Not only them," he replied with a swallow.
- "I see," I said with a smirk, "Well, since that's the case, we won't keep them waiting, will we?"
Kiba nodded nervously and led me into their club.
Goetia definitely made a strong impression. If my senses don't deceive me, Sona and Rias' entourages are in the club, as well as a couple of Satan-Siscon.
Well. Time to talk.

Kuoh Academy. The occult research club.
The club was dead silent. I mean REALLY dead.
I was sitting on the couch with Fou on my shoulder. Across from me sat a pair of Satan Siscons, with Greyfia standing behind them. Sona and Rias's retinues, as well as themselves, were a bit further away from us, behind the backs of their leaders. Heh. Am I that scary?
- "Ahem," I cleared my throat, "What are we going to talk about? By the way, I'm a nurse at Kuoh Academy, Romani Archaman. And can I ask you something? Does Scarlet Satan really have a fetish for maids?"
Sirzechs's face twisted violently, and Greyfia's eye twitched. Of all the demons present in the club, only Serafall was having fun.
- "Hahahahaha. He's definitely a funny guy," she laughed, "Ro-tan asked a good question, Sirzechs. Are you sure you don't have such a fetish?"
- "We have a more important question, Serafall," he said in a calm tone, "Please calm down."
- "But I too am interested in this subject," she said, making a pouty face, "You can't deny the fact that it's a very hot topic among the younger generation."
- "Can I have some tea?" I asked dutifully.
In all this buffoonery, the entourage of Satan sisters were awkwardly wriggling or quietly giggling as they looked at the scene in front of them. Oh! I can see Greyfia ready to pounce on the two Siscons, black streaks appearing on her face, and both eyes twitching.
- "STOP," Sirzechs raised his voice, "Serafall, we'll leave the issue of me for later. Let's have a serious talk already. And someone get Romani-san some tea."
Wow! He managed to calm her down. Though I can still see the amusement in her eyes.
Hmm? Impressive. All this time, neither Sirzechs nor Serafall let their guard down and watched my actions with the edge of their eyes.
- "Here's your tea, Romani-sensei," Akeno said and placed the cup in front of me.
- "Thank you, Akeno-san," I said and turned to the Satans, "Why such wariness? I haven't done anything, have I? And you haven't introduced yourself yet."
- "I apologize, Romani-san. My name is Sirzechs Lucifer, and the woman next to me is Serafall Leviathan," Sirzechs introduced himself, "And yes, you have indeed done nothing, but are clearly someone who belongs to our world. May I ask what someone like you is doing in our territory?"
Oya? You're stepping on a very dangerous land mine, dude.
- "What do you mean, 'a man like me'? I'm just a nurse at Kuoh Academy, aren't I?" With a grin, I replied, "And one more thing... If I'm not mistaken, everyone here is a demon. And if that's the case, why did you use the word 'our'? As far as I remember, this is the human world, right?"
He grimaced, and instead, Serafall answered.
- "Ahem. Sirzechs meant that normally all supernatural beings have to notify the personalities in charge of the territory they're in," she explained, "And about your first question... You give off a feeling of... Emptiness, I guess. Which doesn't fit the description of "just a nurse at Kuoh Academy."
Emptiness? I guess possessing True Magic binds its wielder to the Root, which is a metaphorical black hole. Heh. But it begs the question. Why hasn't the Ophis tried to contact me until now?
- "Perhaps," I replied and grinned, "But I don't see how I deserve to meet not one, but two Satans. We can all agree that I had nothing to do with anything. And I can assure you, I am completely harmless."
- "Can you back that up? And who are you, Romani-san?" Sirzechs asked.
- "Hmm," I scratched my chin, "I can sign a magical contract stating that I am neutral and that I will not show any aggression towards you. Of course, it would be null and void if I were to be the first to suffer that aggression. Will that hold up to you? Also, I'm a Magician."
- "I see. We can agree to that," Sirzechs nodded after a moment's thought.
While we were signing the contract, Serafall didn't hold back.
- "A Magician?! I'm a Magician too! I mean Magical girl! We can form a duet and star in my show!" shrieked Serafall, "And you know nothing about the incident except its aftermath, Ro-tan?"
- "Oya? Incident? You mean the unconscious Rias and Issei?" I wondered naively, "May I ask what happened from their point of view?"
- "Rias said she met.... Creature. And the creature's aura was..... very overwhelming."
Oya. Is that all he's going to say? Sirzechs decided to omit the fact that I mentioned Issei. And his transformation into a demon, for that matter. I noticed Greyfia and Serafall throw a sharp look at Sirzechs upon hearing his words.
He doesn't know what faction I belong to. I only signed a contract of neutrality and non-aggression. As Satan, he had to explain this incident to avoid possible conflicts between factions. As an elder brother - getting an albeit weak Ddraig bearer into Rias' retinue is very beneficial. Even if there might be some problems from the Shinto faction. Since it happened in territory that the demons ARRENT from her. He's a true siscon, isn't he?
I looked at Rias. She had trembled just at the mention of meeting the Creature. Poor thing... What will Gremory and Bael have to say about this?
- "She's weak," I heard the demon Bael say.
- "I agree with him," Gremory said, "She fears His Majesty. She fears us. And she shows it. If she is one who shares my blood, she should at least be able to maintain her face and her pride."
- "I stand by those words," Bael began, "But my blood runs in her as well. And to see such behavior from one's own blood is unacceptable."
- "Silence," Goetia intervened, "What are you going to do, Romani Archaman? It was you who wanted to set the stage for our appearance."
What am I going to do? Heh.
- "I see," I said and set the cup on the table, "I can say that Rias-san's loss of consciousness is justified."
I got up from the couch and headed towards the exit.
- "If you need help, I'm willing to help. After all, I'm a nurse at Kuoh Academy, aren't I?" I said and walked out.
- "So, did you decide to run away?" Goetia asked.
- "Oh, buddy, I wouldn't say that," I replied, getting ready to go home, "Rather, I let them go. They haven't gotten any information about me and assume that I am an observer of some faction in the area. Why do you think they let me go so easily? They're afraid of accidentally provoking a conflict."
- "And what do you get out of it?"
- "Aside from being able to meddle in their affairs as an 'observer'? Nothing, I suppose. But is that not enough?
At my answer, Goetia fell silent. Heh. I'm glad he's starting to put up with my thoughts.
- "Master, are you free?" I heard Merlin's voice.
- "Uh-huh. What's wrong, Flower Pervert?"
- "Hurry up and go home. You need to see this," he replied, after coughing upon hearing his nickname.
Oh? Now I'm curious.

Kuoh City. Emiya's residence.
As soon as I entered the house, a certain picture appeared in front of me.
All of the Servants, except for the Beasts and Grandpa, had their weapons drawn and pointed at a certain loli with black eyes and hair in a revealing gothic dress.
Uh-huh. That loli was The Ophis. What was I saying about her? Like, why hasn't she tried to contact me yet? My tongue is my enemy.
I walked over and stood in front of her. We stared at each other for a long time before I decided to start talking.
- "Oya. What are you doing here, Ophis?"
- "What are you?" she asked in her monotone tone, ignoring my question.
- "Why not 'who'?"
- "What are you?" she repeated her question.
Yep. Great conversation starter. We're gonna have to go a little differently.
- "What are you?" I asked.
She tilted her head to the side. Hmm? Am I sick if I think that gesture, coupled with her nonchalant face, is cute?
- "I'm Infinity," she replied, surprisingly, "You're what?"
- "I'm the Magician," I said. Then picked her up, and sitting down on the couch, I sat her on my lap and began to squeeze her.
The servants looked at me with shocked looks.
- "Master, do you realize what you are doing now?" Emiya asked with a twitching eye.
- "Don't start, Queen Shirou," I answered him, "I can't resist this level of cuteness.
He gritted his teeth. And Artoria took the floor.
- "There's obviously something wrong with you, Master."
I was about to object when I was interrupted by Ophis.
- "Warm."
Hmm? Warm? Don't tell me I opened the Ophis route.
- "Why is the Great Mother with you?"
Excuse me?
- "What did you just say?" Turning the Ophis around to face me, I asked.
- "Why is the Great Mother with you?" She repeated and pointed at Tiamat who was looking at us.
- "Aaaaaaaaaa~'' Tiamat sang out.
I looked at her, then at the Ophis, then at her again. Why do you ask?
Literal translation, 'I'm so happy to see my kids hugging and being friends with each other.'
Fuck. Can I have the history of the world, please? I think I've been duped somewhere.

The club was dead silent. I mean REALLY dead.
I was sitting on the couch with Fou on my shoulder. Across from me sat a pair of Satan Siscons, with Greyfia standing behind them. Sona and Rias's retinues, as well as themselves, were a bit further away from us, behind the backs of their leaders. Heh. Am I that scary?
- "Ahem," I cleared my throat, "What are we going to talk about? By the way, I'm a nurse at Kuoh Academy, Romani Archaman. And can I ask you something? Does Scarlet Satan really have a fetish for maids?"
Sirzechs's face twisted violently, and Greyfia's eye twitched. Of all the demons present in the club, only Serafall was having fun.
- "Hahahahaha. He's definitely a funny guy," she laughed, "Ro-tan asked a good question, Sirzechs. Are you sure you don't have such a fetish?"
- "We have a more important question, Serafall," he said in a calm tone, "Please calm down."
- "But I too am interested in this subject," she said, making a pouty face, "You can't deny the fact that it's a very hot topic among the younger generation."
- "Can I have some tea?" I asked dutifully.
In all this buffoonery, the entourage of Satan sisters were awkwardly wriggling or quietly giggling as they looked at the scene in front of them. Oh! I can see Greyfia ready to pounce on the two Siscons, black streaks appearing on her face, and both eyes twitching.
- "STOP," Sirzechs raised his voice, "Serafall, we'll leave the issue of me for later. Let's have a serious talk already. And someone get Romani-san some tea."
Wow! He managed to calm her down. Though I can still see the amusement in her eyes.
Hmm? Impressive. All this time, neither Sirzechs nor Serafall let their guard down and watched my actions with the edge of their eyes.
- "Here's your tea, Romani-sensei," Akeno said and placed the cup in front of me.
- "Thank you, Akeno-san," I said and turned to the Satans, "Why such wariness? I haven't done anything, have I? And you haven't introduced yourself yet."
- "I apologize, Romani-san. My name is Sirzechs Lucifer, and the woman next to me is Serafall Leviathan," Sirzechs introduced himself, "And yes, you have indeed done nothing, but are clearly someone who belongs to our world. May I ask what someone like you is doing in our territory?"
Oya? You're stepping on a very dangerous land mine, dude.
- "What do you mean, 'a man like me'? I'm just a nurse at Kuoh Academy, aren't I?" With a grin, I replied, "And one more thing... If I'm not mistaken, everyone here is a demon. And if that's the case, why did you use the word 'our'? As far as I remember, this is the human world, right?"
He grimaced, and instead, Serafall answered.
- "Ahem. Sirzechs meant that normally all supernatural beings have to notify the personalities in charge of the territory they're in," she explained, "And about your first question... You give off a feeling of... Emptiness, I guess. Which doesn't fit the description of "just a nurse at Kuoh Academy."
Emptiness? I guess possessing True Magic binds its wielder to the Root, which is a metaphorical black hole. Heh. But it begs the question. Why hasn't the Ophis tried to contact me until now?
- "Perhaps," I replied and grinned, "But I don't see how I deserve to meet not one, but two Satans. We can all agree that I had nothing to do with anything. And I can assure you, I am completely harmless."
- "Can you back that up? And who are you, Romani-san?" Sirzechs asked.
- "Hmm," I scratched my chin, "I can sign a magical contract stating that I am neutral and that I will not show any aggression towards you. Of course, it would be null and void if I were to be the first to suffer that aggression. Will that hold up to you? Also, I'm a Magician."
- "I see. We can agree to that," Sirzechs nodded after a moment's thought.
While we were signing the contract, Serafall didn't hold back.
- "A Magician?! I'm a Magician too! I mean Magical girl! We can form a duet and star in my show!" shrieked Serafall, "And you know nothing about the incident except its aftermath, Ro-tan?"
- "Oya? Incident? You mean the unconscious Rias and Issei?" I wondered naively, "May I ask what happened from their point of view?"
- "Rias said she met.... Creature. And the creature's aura was..... very overwhelming."
Oya. Is that all he's going to say? Sirzechs decided to omit the fact that I mentioned Issei. And his transformation into a demon, for that matter. I noticed Greyfia and Serafall throw a sharp look at Sirzechs upon hearing his words.
He doesn't know what faction I belong to. I only signed a contract of neutrality and non-aggression. As Satan, he had to explain this incident to avoid possible conflicts between factions. As an elder brother - getting an albeit weak Ddraig bearer into Rias' retinue is very beneficial. Even if there might be some problems from the Shinto faction. Since it happened in territory that the demons ARRENT from her. He's a true siscon, isn't he?

Kuoh Academy. Medical room.
The next day.
I sat in the medical room and sipped my coffee, happy to be alive. Why? I managed to get away from a certain clingy loli. I'm not arguing that Ophis is cute and so on, but when she won't budge from you 24 by 7, it gets wildly awkward. Ophis is a child with all that entails. She wouldn't leave my side, or at least tried to stay with me when I was sleeping, showering, or even going to the bathroom. No privacy, you know?
BUT! I'm free now! Thanks to whom? Tiamat, of course! Somehow I was able to dump Ophis on her, more or less satisfying the need for hugs from both a troubled mother and an even more troubled daughter.
By the way... After talking to both of them for a bit, I realized something. In the sourcebook, Ddraig once mentioned that both Ophis and Great Red may be from another dimension. I mean, the strongest beings in the DxD world came from the freaking Nasuverse! And they are also both Tiamat's children from there as well!
I even asked Ophis how she was born. To which she replied, "I was born in the void". As far as I understood, she was referring to gaining consciousness rather than birth itself. That is, she was born of Tiamat Nasuverse, gaining the concept of the Void, or more accurately Infinity, since the Void is essentially infinite, because of her birthplace and fell into the Space between the dimensions of the DxD world. Which corresponds to the story of Tiamat's imprisonment by her children into another dimension from the Nasuverse.
Then you ask, where is her local counterpart? The answer is simple. She was murdered. Tiamat from the DxD world was not a Beast and thus did not have immortality on a conceptual level, unlike the same Ophis or Great Red, who got their own concepts in another world and developed them already in this one. I found this out by activating the 3rd True Magic and finding her soul. I talked to her for a while and suggested that she merge with her counterpart from the other world. She thought for a long time. A REALLY long time. And finally agreed, saying she wanted to see her children, even if it wasn't entirely her anymore. In the end, Beast II became, if not twice as strong, at least one and a half times stronger.
Too stuffy, you say? Well, I'll answer that.
Nothing can interrupt my s…
- "Romani Archaman, please report to the Student Council Room," I was interrupted by a voice on the speakers, "Repeat. Romani Archaman, please report to the Student Council Room."
Pfft. Of course Murphy is still as effective as ever.
- "Fou?" came the voice of Fou, who was asleep in one of the bunks.
- "Uh-huh," I replied, "Now get in. If I'm suffering, somebody's got to suffer with me."
- "Fou, kyu," he objected.
- "Then you'll be out of dinner," I said, "I am Emiya's Master, not you."
- "Fou, fou, kyu!"
- "Stop whining. You don't get paid at all, Primate Murder," I said, "Besides, even stone is more expressive than Goetia, isn't it?"
- "We're not interested in your opinion, Romani," Goetia said.
Wow, he's shy.
- "Fou!" Fou exclaimed, but he got under my robe.
I left the infirmary and headed towards the Student Council room.

- "Come in."
I opened the door and after entering the room, I sat down across from Sona. She only raised an eyebrow at my actions but didn't say anything.
- "It's a great day, isn't it, Sona-san?" I decided to begin.
- "Indeed, Romani-sensei. Have I distracted you from important matters?"
- "You're absolutely right, Sona-san. I was doing something very important."
- "Ahem. Idle. Ahem," I heard Tsubasa Yura's voice.
- "How could you say that, Tsubasa-san?" I turned to her and objected, "I was dutifully performing my duties, you know."
- "Um... Romani-sensei,'' Momo Hanakai spoke up, "But you don't deny Tsubasa's words."
- "Oh? Sona-san. You have a newcomer?" I changed the subject immediately, "How did you get to this circle of hell, lamb of God?"
Everyone in the room grimaced in pain upon hearing me.
- "Romani-sensei, stop pretending that yesterday didn't happen. You know very well that those present here are demons. Except for you, of course."
- "But I didn't know if you turned that poor guy, did I?" I asked, blinking my innocent eyes.
Heh. Sona's eye twitched, and Tsubaki sighed tiredly.
- "Wait," Saji exclaimed in surprise, "Sensei, are you aware that everyone in the student council is a demon?"
- "Oh my god, you're all demons?! How is that possible?!" I asked playfully.
Everyone cringed again when they heard the word 'God'. What fun.
- "ENOUGH!" shouted Sona and slapped the table, "You know this fact perfectly well and yet you keep playing your games!"
- "Well, well, well. So-tan," I said with a smirk, "You're so cute when you're angry."
- "Grrr!" Sona roared like some sort of Lancefighter from Fate/Zero, and her magic flared up.
- "President! Stop!" Tsubaki exclaimed and rushed to hold Sona, "That's what he's trying to do!"
- "Go on, So-tan! Defeat the evil Magician in the name of all the Magician Girls!" I shouted and began to encourage her, holding the pom-poms I had created a moment ago.
When Sona was on the verge of breaking down and almost attacking me, the full Occult Studies Circle burst into the Student Council.
- "What's going on, Sona?" Rias asked in a worried voice, "I felt a surge of your magic and-"
She froze, seeing the scene before her and forgetting what she wanted to say.
- "Oh? Rias-san? What's up? Did you come to laugh at So-tan too?" I asked her, turning around. But she was still standing like a statue.
- "Uh... Sensei, what's going on here?" I heard Issei's voice.
- "A water polo match?" I replied, tilting my head to the side.
And then Sona finally broke through. She broke free of Tsubaki's grip and sent water snakes at me. But they didn't even get half a meter away before they instantly disappeared.
All the demons, even the enraged Sona, stared at me after seeing this. How did I do it? By creating an invisible ring with the effect of absorbing magic, of course. But they don't need to know that.
- "Okay," I began, "That's enough for TODAY. We'll continue this another day."
The demons were shocked that they obeyed me without even realizing it. They settled down and just watched.
- "Well, Sona-san," I said in a calm tone, "Why did you call me here?"
- "Ahem," she decided to answer after a bit of silence, "I would like to play a game of chess with you. And how did you stop my attack?"
- "Oya? Do you want to marry me?" I asked with a smirk, deliberately omitting her question.
- "Marry?!" Saji came to his senses.
- "N-no!" Sona blushed, "How did you know that?!"
- "I have very good ears, Sona-san."
- "Fou," Fou came out of my robe and climbed up on my shoulder.
- "Why should I? She may be pretty, but she's too young for me."
- "Fou, kyu."
- "Is that what you think of me, you miserable freeloader?!" I shrieked and tried to grab him.
Fou dodged my hand and jumped and landed on Akeno's chest. She was a little surprised, but quickly came to her senses and started stroking him.
- "Fou, fou!" he sneezed, putting his belly to Akeno and starting to purr.
- "Heh. A perverted animal," I said. But Fou didn't listen to me.
- "You have such a cute surname, Romani-sensei," Rias said and joined in petting the furball.
The other girls, seeing this, also decided to join in the action and moved towards Fou. All except Sona and Tsubaki.
- "Return to your seats," Sona ordered her entourage.
They made a pouty face, but obeyed her nonetheless.
- "Romani-sensei, even despite my circumstances, I would like to play a game with you," she declared.
- "Оh? Aren't you afraid of losing?" I asked, "If you lose, you'll have to marry me, won't you?"
- "True, but the chance of that is minimal," she said with steely confidence, "And if I win, you answer my two questions."
- "And if I do win?" I asked.
- "Besides marrying me?" Sona asked, "What do you want?"
- "Hmmm," I thought about it and answered, waving it away, "How about a cosplay photo shoot? And I don't want to marry you. I'm too good for you."
- "Then let's cosplay, sensei," she declared with a twitching eye.
- "Uh-huh. Let's play."
Tsubaki pulled out a chessboard, and we began to arrange the pieces.
- "Hey, Sitri," I mentally addressed the demon, "How about a little help?"
- "Why would I do that, Romani?" I heard the senile voice of the demon Sitri.
- "Don't you want to know your offspring's abilities?"
He was silent for a moment and then answered.
- "Let's see what my blood can do."
Oh! That would be a very quick victory. And, of course, blackmail material for Sona Sitri.

- "N-no!" Sona blushed, "How did you know that?!"
- "I have very good ears, Sona-san."
- "Fou," Fou came out of my robe and climbed up on my shoulder.
- "Why should I? She may be pretty, but she's too young for me."
- "Fou, kyu."
- "Is that what you think of me, you miserable freeloader?!" I shrieked and tried to grab him.
Fou dodged my hand and jumped and landed on Akeno's chest. She was a little surprised, but quickly came to her senses and started stroking him.
- "Fou, fou!" he sneezed, putting his belly to Akeno and starting to purr.
- "Heh. A perverted animal," I said. But Fou didn't listen to me.
- "You have such a cute surname, Romani-sensei," Rias said and joined in petting the furball.
The other girls, seeing this, also decided to join in the action and moved towards Fou. All except Sona and Tsubaki.
- "Return to your seats," Sona ordered her entourage.
They made a pouty face, but obeyed her nonetheless.
- "Romani-sensei, even despite my circumstances, I would like to play a game with you," she declared.
- "Оh? Aren't you afraid of losing?" I asked, "If you lose, you'll have to marry me, won't you?"
- "True, but the chance of that is minimal," she said with steely confidence, "And if I win, you answer my two questions."
- "And if I do win?" I asked.
- "Besides marrying me?" Sona asked, "What do you want?"
- "Hmmm," I thought about it and answered, waving it away, "How about a cosplay photo shoot? And I don't want to marry you. I'm too good for you."
- "Then let's cosplay, sensei," she declared with a twitching eye.
- "Uh-huh. Let's play."
Tsubaki pulled out a chessboard, and we began to arrange the pieces.
- "Hey, Sitri," I mentally addressed the demon, "How about a little help?"
- "Why would I do that, Romani?" I heard the senile voice of the demon Sitri.
- "Don't you want to know your offspring's abilities?"
He was silent for a moment and then answered.
- "Let's see what my blood can do."
Oh! That would be a very quick victory. And, of course, blackmail material for Sona Sitri.

Kuoh Academy. Student Council Room.
- "H-how is that possible!" Sona shrieked loudly that even her glasses skewed. And the rest of the Student Council looked on in disbelief.
- "What do you mean, Sona-san?" I asked, blinking my innocent eyes.
- "How could I lose!"
I don't know... Maybe because you were basically playing with your ancestor? Of course, I won't mention that minor factor. Uh-huh. Speaking of which.
- "Her mental faculties are pretty good," said the Sitri demon in my head, "But she relies on them too much. If the demons of today are using chess to teach the younger generation how to think strategically and tactically, it's a failed plan. Nothing can teach this better than a real battlefield. Or at least the Ranked Game you mentioned, Romani."
- "Well, that's unlikely," I answered him, "It's more likely that chess is popular among them because their Evil Pieces are based on the same chess. So don't get your hopes up so high."
- "Romani-sensei, are you alright?" Tsubaki asked me, apparently replacing the fact that I'd gone off on my own.
- "Yeah, yeah, just thinking about something," I replied and turned to Sona, "So. You're not going to recant, are you, Sona-san?"
- "No," she replied with a shake of her head.
- "Good. Then I'll take my leave," I said as I left the Student Council room, "If you ever want to play again, I'm at your service."
While I was walking through the corridors of the school to the infirmary, Emiya, who had been in ghost form the whole time, decided to talk to me.
- "You did a very mature thing, Master," Emiya said sarcastically.
- "Of course I did! After all, I am a very mature person!" I replied enthusiastically.
- "Your actions say otherwise. And by the way, where is the Primate Murder?"
- "He's enjoying the attention of the demon schoolgirls. You can forget about him."
- "What? You talk about the Evil of Humanity and you suggest I just forget about him?" Emiya asked, looking at me like an idiot.
- "Oh! Look at the time! I think it's lunch time," I said, looking at my empty wrist, "It's time for me to eat. And for you to tend to your harem, Mr. Bone of my sword."
Emiya didn't reply anything, only dematerialized with a VERY hard twitch of his eyebrow.

Kuoh Academy. Cafeteria.
The cafeteria was almost completely filled. There were students and some teachers hanging around here and there.
I sat at one of the tables reserved for teachers and sipped my ramen. I was genuinely enjoying the moment of my meal as a certain person decided to interrupt me.
- "Оh? Romani-sensei, it's rare to see you eating in the cafeteria," a bespectacled female student spoke up and sat down at the table.
- "What are you doing at the teachers' table, Aika-san?" I asked, still focused on the ramen.
- "I just thought I'd talk to the Magician, sensei," she replied, propping her chin up and smiling sweetly.
I froze and slowly looked up at her. Demons didn't put up a barrier against mere humans? Impossible. Sona wouldn't make such a grave mistake. Did Aika overhear the conversation at the Occult Research Club? Absolutely not. Sirzechs is very protective of her sister, and so has covered the building with the Rias Club with a large number of closed fields discouraging ordinary people from going there. Then how did she know I was a Magician?
I looked over at 'Aika. She was still smiling sweetly at me and apparently waiting for an answer to come to me. Activating the 3rd magic, I noticed one detail.
- "You better get ready, Romani," I heard Goetia's voice in my head.
Oh? Did he realize something?
- "What are you?" I decided to ask.
- "Why are you asking such a strange question to a beautiful girl like me?" She said, giving an overly surprised look.
- "Indeed. Only, I don't see any beautiful girl in front of me. What are you? A beast? There's an energy emanating from you that's very similar to it."
- "How rude," Aika replied, "My current appearance fits the description of a beautiful girl, doesn't it? And you're almost right. Only I'm a level higher."
Oh? So that's what Goetia was talking about. I decided to look around, thinking that ordinary people might hear our conversation. But I was wrong. The whole world stood still. Or rather, time has stopped. That makes the situation a little... interesting.
- "Why are you in Aika's body, Alaya? As far as I know, you don't exist in this world."
- "Are you sure about that, Mr. Magician? I really don't exist, or do I exist, but only in a different form?" She said, smirking wryly, "One more thing. I am NOT in Aika Kiryu's body. I am Aika Kiryu."
I am stunned. REALLY stunned. But then an epiphany came to me. Aika has been periodically featured in ALL seasons of DxD, and in some, she's been heavily involved. Even Issei's cronies didn't have as much screen time as she did. So the Alaya of this world were watching their main character? That... makes sense.
- "Nice to meet you, Aika 'Alaya' Kiryu. What did you want to talk to a good and law-abiding Samaritan like me about?"
- "Nothing important," Alaya replied, "Only about how you are doing here in this world?"
Hmm? Why does that question sound so familiar? Where have I heard it before? Oh! It's a pretty standard Zelretch phrase when meeting an immigrant. Good grief... Looks like I've met the culprit of my arrival in this world.
- "Pretty good," I replied, "I thank you for this chance, Alaya-sama."
- "You are welcome, Romani-sensei. But aren't you interested in the reason for my actions toward you?"
- "Of course I am. But whether you will tell me is another matter."
- "Of course I will," Alaya nodded, "You have a very important mission."
Sounds very standard. Some kind of universal evil, I suppose?
- "Alaya, even if she's not the one I know, always has plans for one thing or another," Goetia interjected again.
- "And that is?"
- "Helping the protagonist, of course!"
What?
- "What?" Goetia, who had already materialized, decided to voice my thoughts.
- "Well..." Alaya hesitated, "It so happens that when I decided to contact my colleague from, as you call it, 'Nasuverse', a certain problem arose."
- "What kind of problem could an entity like you have?" Goetia hesitated.
We think alike now, don't we? What a strange feeling.
I wondered. What kind of problem could a protagonist have? They're invincible.
- "Don't drag it out, Alaya-sama."
- "Well... It turns out that Beast VI merged with the Trihexa of this world," she finished, sticking out her tongue and pounding her head with her fist like a typical stupid anime girl who made a mistake.
- "And?" I raised an eyebrow, "But you're aware that I have not one, but THREE Beasts on my side with an Assassin-class Grand Servant on top of it, right?"
- "Trihexa is a wild beast," my friend in my head supported my words, "Even if he got a little stronger than he was, me or Beast II is more than enough to deal with him."
- "True, but there's a catch. If Trihex isn't defeated by ANY main character, then the conceptual law of this world will be broken, and the timeline will reset to the original timeline. As for those who don't belong to that very original timeline? They will be erased. Not killed. Not returned to their birth line. They will be erased. Te-heh." she finished, repeating the gesture.
- "What?" Goetia and I shrieked in unison.
It wasn't just one eye twitching, oh no. I had TWO eyes twitching at once as I looked at this misunderstanding of Humanity's 'Unconscious' Will. I'm sure my friend is feeling the same way I am.
- "How did your colleague react when she recognized this 'tiny' miscalculation of yours?" I asked, trying to remain calm.
- "That I should handle it myself," she replied, and looked away, glancing at me sneakily.
- "I mean," I decided to say, and my magic began to wave from my body, "You've decided to take it out on me?"
- "Well..." she began, tapping her index fingers and still averting her gaze, "Since you owe me, sensei... You would help out a beautiful girl like me, wouldn't you?"
Oh! I'll do it, you damn woman! Did I have a choice? Of course not! If I am to suffer, you will share that burden with me! Get ready, Alaya Shiki.

Kuoh City. Emiya's residence.
I burst into the house and immediately announced a general assembly of the residents. After gathering, Emiya was the first to speak.
- "Master, who is she? And why does she seem so familiar to me?"
Some people, namely: Beasts, Grandfather, Merlin and Enkidu froze upon seeing the person I brought.
- "Oh! Dear Emiya," I began solemnly, "Meet your employer's colleague from this world!"
At first he didn't understand what I meant. When he did, he instantly projected his favorite swords and pointed them at the guest. And so did the rest of the Servants. Except for the Beasts and Grandpa of course.
Alaya hid behind my back, peeking out from there.
- "Nice to meet you! I hope we can be friends!" she declared.
Upon hearing Alaya's words, everyone, I mean EVERYONE recoiled and stared at her.
You bet they did. To hear THAT from the collective unconsciousness of mankind and remain in some state untouched is quite a feat, yep.
- "Uh-huh. Now that we've met. We have something VERY important to discuss," I announced with a clap of my hands.
I wonder how they'll react when they hear the TRUE essence of ALL typical anime worlds with a protagonist in the Harem genre.

Emiya Residence. The common room.
What can I say? This dead silence definitely gives me a sense of dejavu. Someone was mulling over my explanation. Some were still in shock at Alaya and her performance. And someone else didn't care about any of it. And those others were silently eating Emiya's cooking. It continued until the culprit of the whole situation decided to say something completely inappropriate.
- "You're such a good cook, Emiya-kun! Do you have a girlfriend? I don't mind becoming one if you don't have one!"
The atmosphere instantly changed. Artoria and Medusa began to let out an intense bloodlust. Merlin fell on his stomach while laughing from it. Everyone else except Grandpa, the Beasts, and the Ophis, who didn't care, stared dumbly at Alaya. Even Hercules, who had stopped growling.
Emiya, on the other hand... Oooooh, guys. Emiya was still standing there staring at Alaya. Well, like looking and standing... His eyes were looking at her, and his legs were still supporting his body in a standing position. But there was one BUT. He was unconscious. Not at all.
I wonder if he was unconscious because the Unconscious Will of Mankind suggested dating him, or from her calling him 'Emiya-kun' like a certain brunette tsundere?
Would I have interrupted this on any other day? Absolutely. But unfortunately, not today.
- "Calm down," I said and activated my magic, "We can discuss this matter later. Focus.
After about five minutes, somehow, everyone managed to come to their senses and start thinking. Well, except for Emiya. Artoria was the first to speak."
- "What do you plan to do, Master?"
- "Оh? What makes you think I already have a plan?"
- "A hunch." Artoria said.
Heh. Well, she's almost right. But a little clarification is needed.
- "Aika," I turned to the Collective Unconsciousness of Mankind, "How much can I change in the plot?"
- "Hmm..." she thought, putting her finger to her chin, "The main events should more or less match the original storyline. That is, the main villain of a particular event should be defeated by the protagonist, say, Kokabiel, Riser Phenex, etc. Other than that? Your hands are pretty much untied, sensei. Plus, you have, sort of, a head start, since Romani Archaman existed in this version of the world."
- "So, it's not as bad as I originally thought?" I asked, "Essentially, I can take on the role of personalities like Azazel?"
- "That's right. Even I, the Collective Unconsciousness of Mankind, helped Issei here and there. So, you can breathe easy, to a certain extent."
Hmmm... That makes things easier. The protagonist will have to start his training earlier than he was meant to.
- "But I must warn you, sensei,'' Alaya continued, "Because Trihexa and Beast VI are now one, a thin channel has been formed between the two worlds. Therefore, expect the Shadow Servants to appear."
Unexpected, but acceptable. Although we'll have to call in more Servants. Just in case.
- "Gentlemen. Show some hospitality to our guest while I get busy summoning Servants for backup," I said and headed for the basement.
-0-
Emiya's residence. The basement.
Who should I summon? Hmm... I think Caster and Assassin will be enough to start with.
I activated the summoning circle and it glowed. There was a lot more dust than when I had summoned earlier. After waiting for it to dissipate, I saw, or rather felt, several people.
Kneeling in front of me was a blue-haired woman with a dark skin tone and a skull mask on her face. О? Lucky-lucky.
- "We have answered your call, summoner," she said, "We are the Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Assassin class. You are our Master?"
- "Uh-huh. Step aside, please. I need to summon another Servant."
She nodded and stood behind me, her shadows wriggling back and forth.
I activated the circle once more. And, this time, I summoned someone I didn't expect to see, but was glad it wasn't his counterpart from another class.
- "You managed to summon the Wise King of Uruk from the Caster class, you mongrel," he said, "Hopefully, you'll dispel my boredom."
Yep. Definitely Gilgamesh. Well, thanks again for not being Archer.
- "Yeah, yeah. You're Gilgamesh and blah, blah, blah. Now let's go to the common room. You too, Hundred Faces."
- "Оh? You dare to order the King around, you mongrel? Who gave you that right?" He was surprised and summoned two portals with staffs aimed at me.
- "Well, you can at least listen to me, can't you? And in case you haven't noticed, your old friend is here too," I began, "Besides, I'm a Magician who wields TWO True Magics at once, and you don't want to deal with me."
He stopped and expanded his senses. After a few moments, he apparently realized that I was telling the truth.
- "Ho? You mean you're a stronger mongrel?" He said, and the portals disappeared, "But since I am the King, I'll let you entertain me. For now."
And he must have sensed the Beasts to indulge me. Or maybe not. What a troubled guy.
- "Yeah, yeah. Now, follow me."

Emiya residence. The common room.
As we walked up with the new Servants, we were confronted with a mixed picture.
Alaya was hanging onto Emiya, who had already come to his senses, and trying to be his girlfriend. Artoria and Medusa were throwing fierce looks at this. Merlin was still laughing while watching this. Beasts, Ophis, and Hercules didn't care. Fou had already returned and was sitting on Tiamat's head.
But Enkidu and Grandpa... Enkidu grabbed Gilgamesh by the arm and took him aside. A hundred faces in the form of a blue-haired woman approached Grandpa and bowed and said:
- "Greetings, Great Founder."
Grandpa only nodded at her words and looked at me.
- "Orders, Master?"
I looked at the Servants and hesitated. Although I have my hands free, I can't change the plot drastically. I would have to settle for the role of Azazel's assistant.
With a clap of my hands, I got the Servants' attention.
- "Based on our capabilities, we will limit ourselves to supporting and observing the protagonist here and there. We will intervene only as a last resort. Is that okay with you, Alaya?"
- "Uh-huh," she nodded, "But you've already started interfering with the plot, Sensei. That's why you need to work on strengthening Issei. Training, let's say. Because Trihexa is stronger than he was originally, you need to speed up his growth. And, of course, prevent him from dying."
- "Since the plot has only just begun, then... A hundred faces. You keep an eye on this town. Also send a couple faces of yourself to the Vatican and Kyoto."
She nodded and disappeared into the shadows. Okay, that's taken care of.
- "What about the others, Master?" Emiya asked.
- "Nothing yet. I don't want to reveal the Servants any sooner than necessary. Tomorrow I will go to the Occult Research Club to find out where the plot stands, and I will contact Azazel. After that, I'll make plans based on what I find out. Until then, go about your business."
The servants nodded and went to their rooms.
- "I should be getting back, too," Aika said, and headed for the exit. But I stopped her by grabbing her shoulder.
- "Now, now. Where are you going, Alaya-sama?" I murmured, grinning wildly, "You're not just going to run away and dump everything on me, are you?"
- "Of course not! It's just that a young and beautiful girl like me needs a vacation, don't you think? And what would people think if they saw me, a schoolgirl, leaving the house of a male teacher?" She asked. Her eyes raced and her cheeks flushed.
- "No problem at all, Aika-san. I'm happy to host a female student in need of a new place to live, and I'm even willing to give you a room next to Artoria and Medusa's room. I'm so kind, aren't I?"
- "N-no need. I have my own house, don't I?" She shrank back and mumbled.
- "It doesn't matter, Aika-san. Your parents are already aware (Magically) and don't mind it,'' I said and threw her on my shoulder, carrying her to the promised room, under the stares of Saber and Rider.
- "I-I...I promised that if I were to suffer, you would share that burden with me, didn't I, Collective Unconsciousness of Mankind?"
To my insane giggles, I dragged Alaya to be eaten by the wolves. A very pleasant feeling...

Kuoh Academy.The Occult Studies Club building.
As I approached the door of the club, I heard Issei's voice.
- "I understand, President."
I entered the Club without knocking and sat down on the vacant couch defiantly. Only Rias, Akeno, and Issei were present in the room.
- "What are you doing here, Romani-sensei?" Rias decided to ask, sitting at her desk.
- "I came to drink tea, Rias-san," I answered, "Don't mind me. You may continue your discussion."
- "You act very casual for an uninvited guest, sensei," she said with a twitching eye.
I paid no attention to her as Akeno handed me a cup of tea.
- "Thank you, Akeno-san," I said, taking a sip.- Your tea is as good as ever.
- "Thank you for the praise, sensei. But still, what are you doing here? And Fou is not with you?"
- "Uh-uh. That furry pest prefers to sleep 24 hours a day. And I'm really here for tea. By the way, what were you two discussing before I got here? Did Issei steal someone's underwear again?"
- "How could you say such a thing, sensei?!" he shrieked indignantly, "I would never do such a thing!"
- "Your reputation doesn't agree with you, pervert-kun. But then again, what were you discussing?"
- "We…"
- "I met a beautiful foreign nun, and I even helped her find the Church! She was so nice!" Issei interrupted Rias.
Ho? Is Asia already in town? I see.
In that case, my promise to Grandpa will be fulfilled sooner than I expected.

What can I say? This dead silence definitely gives me a sense of dejavu. Someone was mulling over my explanation. Some were still in shock at Alaya and her performance. And someone else didn't care about any of it. And those others were silently eating Emiya's cooking. It continued until the culprit of the whole situation decided to say something completely inappropriate.
- "You're such a good cook, Emiya-kun! Do you have a girlfriend? I don't mind becoming one if you don't have one!"
The atmosphere instantly changed. Artoria and Medusa began to let out an intense bloodlust. Merlin fell on his stomach while laughing from it. Everyone else except Grandpa, the Beasts, and the Ophis, who didn't care, stared dumbly at Alaya. Even Hercules, who had stopped growling.
Emiya, on the other hand... Oooooh, guys. Emiya was still standing there staring at Alaya. Well, like looking and standing... His eyes were looking at her, and his legs were still supporting his body in a standing position. But there was one BUT. He was unconscious. Not at all.
I wonder if he was unconscious because the Unconscious Will of Mankind suggested dating him, or from her calling him 'Emiya-kun' like a certain brunette tsundere?
Would I have interrupted this on any other day? Absolutely. But unfortunately, not today.
- "Calm down," I said and activated my magic, "We can discuss this matter later. Focus.
After about five minutes, somehow, everyone managed to come to their senses and start thinking. Well, except for Emiya. Artoria was the first to speak."
- "What do you plan to do, Master?"
- "Оh? What makes you think I already have a plan?"
- "A hunch." Artoria said.
Heh. Well, she's almost right. But a little clarification is needed.
- "Aika," I turned to the Collective Unconsciousness of Mankind, "How much can I change in the plot?"
- "Hmm..." she thought, putting her finger to her chin, "The main events should more or less match the original storyline. That is, the main villain of a particular event should be defeated by the protagonist, say, Kokabiel, Riser Phenex, etc. Other than that? Your hands are pretty much untied, sensei. Plus, you have, sort of, a head start, since Romani Archaman existed in this version of the world."
- "So, it's not as bad as I originally thought?" I asked, "Essentially, I can take on the role of personalities like Azazel?"
- "That's right. Even I, the Collective Unconsciousness of Mankind, helped Issei here and there. So, you can breathe easy, to a certain extent."
Hmmm... That makes things easier. The protagonist will have to start his training earlier than he was meant to.
- "But I must warn you, sensei,'' Alaya continued, "Because Trihexa and Beast VI are now one, a thin channel has been formed between the two worlds. Therefore, expect the Shadow Servants to appear."
Unexpected, but acceptable. Although we'll have to call in more Servants. Just in case.
- "Gentlemen. Show some hospitality to our guest while I get busy summoning Servants for backup," I said and headed for the basement.
-0-
Emiya's residence. The basement.
Who should I summon? Hmm... I think Caster and Assassin will be enough to start with.
I activated the summoning circle and it glowed. There was a lot more dust than when I had summoned earlier. After waiting for it to dissipate, I saw, or rather felt, several people.
Kneeling in front of me was a blue-haired woman with a dark skin tone and a skull mask on her face. О? Lucky-lucky.
- "We have answered your call, summoner," she said, "We are the Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Assassin class. You are our Master?"
- "Uh-huh. Step aside, please. I need to summon another Servant."
She nodded and stood behind me, her shadows wriggling back and forth.
I activated the circle once more. And, this time, I summoned someone I didn't expect to see, but was glad it wasn't his counterpart from another class.
- "You managed to summon the Wise King of Uruk from the Caster class, you mongrel," he said, "Hopefully, you'll dispel my boredom."
Yep. Definitely Gilgamesh. Well, thanks again for not being Archer.
- "Yeah, yeah. You're Gilgamesh and blah, blah, blah. Now let's go to the common room. You too, Hundred Faces."
- "Оh? You dare to order the King around, you mongrel? Who gave you that right?" He was surprised and summoned two portals with staffs aimed at me.
- "Well, you can at least listen to me, can't you? And in case you haven't noticed, your old friend is here too," I began, "Besides, I'm a Magician who wields TWO True Magics at once, and you don't want to deal with me."
He stopped and expanded his senses. After a few moments, he apparently realized that I was telling the truth.
- "Ho? You mean you're a stronger mongrel?" He said, and the portals disappeared, "But since I am the King, I'll let you entertain me. For now."
And he must have sensed the Beasts to indulge me. Or maybe not. What a troubled guy.
- "Yeah, yeah. Now, follow me."

Emiya residence. The common room.
As we walked up with the new Servants, we were confronted with a mixed picture.
Alaya was hanging onto Emiya, who had already come to his senses, and trying to be his girlfriend. Artoria and Medusa were throwing fierce looks at this. Merlin was still laughing while watching this. Beasts, Ophis, and Hercules didn't care. Fou had already returned and was sitting on Tiamat's head.
But Enkidu and Grandpa... Enkidu grabbed Gilgamesh by the arm and took him aside. A hundred faces in the form of a blue-haired woman approached Grandpa and bowed and said:
- "Greetings, Great Founder."
Grandpa only nodded at her words and looked at me.
- "Orders, Master?"
I looked at the Servants and hesitated. Although I have my hands free, I can't change the plot drastically. I would have to settle for the role of Azazel's assistant.
With a clap of my hands, I got the Servants' attention.
- "Based on our capabilities, we will limit ourselves to supporting and observing the protagonist here and there. We will intervene only as a last resort. Is that okay with you, Alaya?"
- "Uh-huh," she nodded, "But you've already started interfering with the plot, Sensei. That's why you need to work on strengthening Issei. Training, let's say. Because Trihexa is stronger than he was originally, you need to speed up his growth. And, of course, prevent him from dying."
- "Since the plot has only just begun, then... A hundred faces. You keep an eye on this town. Also send a couple faces of yourself to the Vatican and Kyoto."
She nodded and disappeared into the shadows. Okay, that's taken care of.
- "What about the others, Master?" Emiya asked.
- "Nothing yet. I don't want to reveal the Servants any sooner than necessary. Tomorrow I will go to the Occult Research Club to find out where the plot stands, and I will contact Azazel. After that, I'll make plans based on what I find out. Until then, go about your business."
The servants nodded and went to their rooms.
- "I should be getting back, too," Aika said, and headed for the exit. But I stopped her by grabbing her shoulder.
- "Now, now. Where are you going, Alaya-sama?" I murmured, grinning wildly, "You're not just going to run away and dump everything on me, are you?"
- "Of course not! It's just that a young and beautiful girl like me needs a vacation, don't you think? And what would people think if they saw me, a schoolgirl, leaving the house of a male teacher?" She asked. Her eyes raced and her cheeks flushed.
- "No problem at all, Aika-san. I'm happy to host a female student in need of a new place to live, and I'm even willing to give you a room next to Artoria and Medusa's room. I'm so kind, aren't I?"
- "N-no need. I have my own house, don't I?" She shrank back and mumbled.
- "It doesn't matter, Aika-san. Your parents are already aware (Magically) and don't mind it,'' I said and threw her on my shoulder, carrying her to the promised room, under the stares of Saber and Rider.
- "I-I...I promised that if I were to suffer, you would share that burden with me, didn't I, Collective Unconsciousness of Mankind?"
To my insane giggles, I dragged Alaya to be eaten by the wolves. A very pleasant feeling...

Kuoh Academy.
I walked out of the Rias Club as casually as I entered it, and was now heading towards Azazel's house, which was on the outskirts of the city, as 3rd magic told me. But first...
- "A hundred faces."
From my shadow, one of Assassin's faces emerged, awaiting orders.
- "Find and observe the newly arrived nun in town. Green eyes, blonde hair. And let me know when she will be hung on a cross in the basement of the local Church," I ordered, "Now, off you go."
Hearing me, the facet bowed and disappeared.
Half an hour later, I reached Azazel's house and rang the intercom. The door opened and there stood the Governor General of the Fallen in his homemade kimono.
- "Hello, is this the home of the uh... Blade of Blazing Radiance and Darkness?" I said, blinking my innocent eyes.
His face creased and his palms clenched into a fist. He looked around for someone, apparently Michael, but finding no one, he looked at me.
- "You must be mistaken," he managed to squeeze out a reply, "As far as I know, no one by that name lives here."
- "B-but I was sent to this very address, mister. Are you sure you don't know anyone named 'Blade of Blazing Radiance and Darkness'?" I deliberately repeated and made a very surprised face.
- "Who sent you?!" Azazel shrieked and grabbed me by the collar and lifted me off the ground.
- "The Collective Unconsciousness of Mankind," I stated, and a smirk appeared on my face.
He stared at me incredulously, but still lowered me to the ground and asked:
- "What do you mean? "
- "I think we should continue this conversation inside, Governor General," I suggested, adjusting my collar, "Of course, I'll explain everything there."
- "Then, come in," Azazel said, still looking at me, "Let's have a talk."
Heh. He doesn't know Alaya, but her title definitely piqued his interest. Anyway, the infiltration was a success!
-0-
Kuoh City. Azazel's house.
We sat across from each other and were silent. After a while, he couldn't take it anymore and asked:
- "Well?"
- "Oh! Right! I didn't introduce myself. My name is Romani Archaman, a nurse at Kuoh Academy. Nice to meet you, Mr. Azazel."
- "That's not what I asked," he said with a twitching eye.
- "God! How could I have forgotten that! I'm also a Magician," I said, smiling sweetly.
- "Enough! How do you know things that only Seraphim know? And what is the Collective Unconsciousness of Mankind?" he blurted out.
Oh? He even let out his wings and magic. I think he's had enough bullying for today.
- "Well, Azazel. You better pour yourself something. After all, you're about to learn things you never thought you'd know," I said seriously.
He calmed down when he saw my serious face, and he thought about it. After a couple seconds, he did go ahead and pour himself something in his glass and returned to his seat, nodding his eyes at me, asking me to continue.
- "Do I need to answer your first question? Or should I go straight to the point?" I asked.
- "First to the point, please," he replied, taking a sip.
- "Do you think there are parallel worlds? If so, is there a starting point or an original version of these worlds?" I asked, creating a cup of coffee in my hand. He only raised an eyebrow when he saw this and pondered my question.
- "They do exist. I'm sure of that. But about the other question... I think every parallel world is different from each other, and if there is an original version of these worlds, it's just recorded in some metaphorical archive of the universe," he answered, shrugging his shoulders.
Ho? How insightful. I guess he's considered one of the smartest characters in all of DxD for a reason. Not enough, though. The very rules of this world limit its inhabitants in one aspect or another. Especially sanity. I've sometimes wondered why the local long-lived creatures can lose to some underage teenagers? And why can't they discover the same space travel? The answer is simple. The will of the world itself does not allow them to go beyond the plot. But there's a catch. This rule applies ONLY to its inhabitants. So all this relocation crap makes absolutely no sense.
- "Before we go any further, I want to make you a business proposition," I said in a calm voice, "And if you accept it, you will learn the deepest secrets of this world. The payment will be knowledge and help in working with the Sacred Gears."
When he heard me, he thought deeply. After a while, he asked:
- "And if I refuse?"
- "Well... I will erase all your memories related to the Sacred Gears and this conversation. Also, the entire Christian faction will know about your Blade. And don't hesitate. I can do that," I explained, smiling sweetly and releasing my magic.
Azazel stared at me, but did nothing more. Why? I had released enough magic to suppress his limit just a little bit. And he realized it. After a couple seconds, I stopped doing that, but I was still smiling sweetly.
- "I guess I don't really have a choice, do I?" He asked and took a couple sips from his glass, "Why me and not someone else?"
- "I'm glad we've come to an understanding, Azazel-kun. The answer to your question is quite simple. You know how to keep your mouth shut when necessary. And I understand there is Dragon Ball here, correct?" I asked, and he nodded.
- "You're Master Roshi," I finished and fell silent, waiting for him to figure out the rest on his own. Which Azazel did a few moments later.
- "Genres?" He asked, having come to some conclusions.
- "The main ones? Romantic comedy, harem, action," I answered and grinned.
- "And who's my Goku?"
- "Issei Hyoudou. A senior at Kuoh Academy, and the current host of the Ddraig."
Hearing me, he laughed, and after calming down, he said:
- "Is this the one I sent Reynal and her group to watch? Then there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
- "Oh! You have nothing to worry about, Azazel-kun. Me and Grandpa will take care of them."
- "That's not what I asked, Romani. And who is this 'Grandpa'?"
- "Well... Reynal's group didn't follow your orders, but someone else's. However, he did so under the influence of the Collective Unconsciousness of Mankind I mentioned earlier. And about Grandpa?" I said and paused dramatically, "He is standing right behind you."
As soon as I finished speaking, Azazel instantly turned around and saw him.
- "Was that really necessary, Master?" Grandfather asked, "I am disgusted to be around those who have turned their backs on the Grace of God."
- "Who is he?" Turned to me and asked a frightened Azazel, "Why didn't I feel him? And what is this sensation of Death that comes from him?"
- "Good grief. I forgot to introduce him. Meet the founder of Hashashin, King Hassan, Azazel-kun."
- "W-what? H-how? How can he be alive?"
- "I'm not alive, Scapegoat of Heaven. I'm a Servant," Grandpa declared.
Azazel looked back and forth at him and me, as if asking what that meant.
- "Sit back down and take another bottle. This is going to be a long conversation."
-0-
After a very long explanation.
- "You mean you're from another world and the Collective Unconsciousness of Mankind, i.e., Alaya, caused you to assist the protagonist, i.e., Issei Hyoudou, in gaining powers," Azazel summarized, drinking his second bottle of whiskey.
I nodded, sipping my coffee.
- "And it is the protagonist who must defeat Trihexa, who not only will be released in the future, but also strengthened because of this Alaya's mistake? And the main plot events must take place exactly as they are recorded in the 'Root' of the world, which is the archive that holds the original version of this very world."
I nodded again.
- "I see," he said, rubbing his temples, "Then who are the Servants? I've met the founder of Hashashin a couple times, and he didn't look anything like this one."
- "Oh! It's pretty easy to explain. The Servants are a feature of the world I came from. They are copies of Heroic Souls, which are the ghosts of heroes of ancient times and recorded in the Root of the world, who have retained their memories and skills that they had when they were alive. In principle, they can be called High Familiars, as Servants need to contract to maintain their form in the world of the living. In this case, with me."
- "You're saying that a Servant can be anyone who has written their name in the history of Humanity, right?"
- "Uh-huh."
Azazel sighed tiredly.
- "Then what do you want me to do? I still don't see the point of you telling me all this."
Well, he's adjusted to his new circumstances and existential crisis pretty easily. I suppose we can give him some compensation for that headache.
- "Information. You have agents all over the world. That's pretty easy to figure out, isn't it? Also, I won't fill you in on the plot, for reasons we both understand," I said, "One more thing. At first I had planned to send you only one Servant to help you with the Sacred Gears. But now I'm thinking of two."
- "Оh? And who would that be?"
- "You'll find out in a few days, and my number's already on your contact list. See you, Azazel-kun."
With those words, Grandpa and I teleported to the Emiya Residence.

Emiya Residence.
A couple days later.
It was a quiet and peaceful dinner at the Emiya Residence. Some were silently enjoying the food, some were indulging in the company of those present, and some were discussing the past (Gilgamesh and Merlin) rather loudly. I, on the other hand, was feeding the two restless draconians sitting at my sides. Emiya was suffering as usual, surrounded by his harem and Alaya, who were throwing death glares at each other and trying to feed him. However, all this idyll was interrupted by the Hundred Faces.
- "Master, the moment you spoke of has arrived," I heard the voice of one of her facets in my head.
I stopped feeding the restless duo and stood up from my seat and beckoned to Emiya, Merlin, and Grandfather. They nodded and came over to me.
Well... Let's get to work.

Emiya Residence.
A couple days later.
It was a quiet and peaceful dinner at the Emiya Residence. Some were silently enjoying the food, some were indulging in the company of those present, and some were discussing the past (Gilgamesh and Merlin) rather loudly. I, on the other hand, was feeding the two restless draconians sitting at my sides. Emiya was suffering as usual, surrounded by his harem and Alaya, who were throwing death glares at each other and trying to feed him. However, all this idyll was interrupted by the Hundred Faces.
- "Master, the moment you spoke of has arrived," I heard the voice of one of her facets in my head.
I stopped feeding the restless duo and stood up from my seat and beckoned to Emiya, Merlin, and Grandfather. They nodded and came over to me.
Well... Let's get to work.

Kuoh City. Church.
Before entering the church, I sent Merlin and Emiya to monitor the situation outside, while I went inside with Grandpa in ghost form.
The atmosphere inside matched the scene from the anime: benches were scattered, windows were broken, and plaster was occasionally chipping off the walls. Three Fallen from Reynal's group were also in the room, but not herself. Activating 3rd magic, I sensed her in the basement along with Asia and the renegade priests.
The trio of Fallen, hearing the sound of the doors opening, turned in her direction and noticed me.
- "Oh? What's a cutie like you doing in an abandoned Church?" Loli-Fallen Mittelt asked.
- "Cute?" I asked and raised an eyebrow, "Sorry, girl, but I'm not interested in little girls."
- "Good grief. You've been rejected, little girl," Dohnaseek said with a chuckle.
- "How dare you!" Mittelt shrieked and threw a spear of light at me. But it scattered before it reached me.
Heh. Just so you know, I didn't use my ring that I created earlier. Oh, no. That was Solomon's power. Since Romani Archaman is the reincarnation of Solomon, it follows that I was able to obtain some of his powers.
In addition to quickly understanding the magic I saw, which is actually why I can use teleportation, I was able to gain pseudo immunity to the attacks of low-level members of the Christian faction.
I realized this after the events in the Student Council room when I was attacked by Sona. The ring absorbed her magic, yes, but it did so only after dispelling the attack with my pseudo-immunity. Why? I suppose it's because Solomon was recognized as God himself, at least in the DxD world, making him a Saint of sorts.
Now, I had the attention of all three Fallen. They became wary, and summoned their spears.
- "Who are you? What do you want?" Kalawarna asked.
- "The fulfillment of a promise."
- "To whom?" Mittelt asked already
- "To me," said a voice behind them.
They turned around and saw Grandpa staring at them. The scene was very much like a trial. In fact, it was. Except that the judge, in this case, was both the jury and the executioner. I think Grandpa felt a sense of disappointment as he looked at the Fallen. After all, he was a servant of God who had been given the title of the Angel of Death, Azrael. And now, in this world, he sees those who were created by that very God, and turned away from him.
- "You, the guardians of the Kingdom of Heaven, have cast aside your snow-white wings in favor of base desires. You, whose names the Evening Bell has rung, have chosen your fate," he chanted as he readied his sword.
- "Who are you?! How dare you say that to us?! Who are you to judge us?!" roared Dohnaseek. I think Grandpa's words hurt him more than the others.
The trio of Fallen threw their spears at him, which he easily shattered. Grandpa began to slowly approach them, still keeping his eyes on them.
- "I am a devoted servant of God. One who killed at His command. The one who has done His will on this earth in my lifetime. And the one who will pass judgment on you. I am your judge, jury and executioner."
- "You..."
They couldn't finish the sentence as their heads separated from their bodies. Cleanly, quickly and painlessly. Grandpa stared at their lifeless bodies for a few more seconds.
- "Ready to move on?" I asked him.
He nodded and dematerialized. Opening a hidden hatch, I descended into the basement of the Church.
There were about 20 renegade priests and a door leading to a hidden room where Asia and Reynal were. I snapped my fingers and all 20 priests were impaled with stone spikes, instantly taking their lives, and then walked through the door.
Inside the room, I was greeted by a certain pair of eyes. Well, she hasn't started the ritual yet. That's good.
- "Who are you? How did you get here?" Reynal asked.
Uh-huh. Why does everyone start the conversation with that question? No variety. Remembering a couple fanfics, I decided to use 3rd magic on her and look up her story. And my goodness, I managed to find something very interesting.
- "I'm a Magician, and I got here through a door. And before I deal with you, let me ask you one question," I began, "Was your love for Azazel worth your snow-white wings, Guardian of Heaven's Gate, Reynal-chan?"
Hearing me, her face twisted and a spear of light appeared in her hand.
- "How do you know about this!" She shouted.
- "Does it matter? And why don't you answer my question?" I asked, and affected her mind a little by using 3rd magic.
- "He's going to notice me! Once I get Twilight Healing, he will love me!" She declared with hearts in her eyes. Wow. What we have here is unrequited love with a yandere flavor. Heh. I feel a little sorry for her.
- "I know. And I hope things work out for you in your next life, Reynal-san," I said and beckoned to Grandpa.
- "What do you mean?" She asked, but there was no answer. Grandpa's sword had done its job.
Seeing this, I nodded and directed my gaze to the unconscious Asia still hanging on the cross. Taking her down from there and heading back upstairs, I sat down on a more or less intact bench and waited for Club Rias. According to Merlin, they had already teleported close to the Church and were preparing to begin their assault.

A short time later.
They, in full force, burst through the doors of the Church and saw me calmly sipping my coffee and smiling sweetly at them. And the dead bodies of the Fallen here and there. And an unconscious Asia lay beside me.
- "Oya? What are you doing in an abandoned Church this late, Rias-san? And with all the other members of your Club."
Hearing me, they stared at me and prepared to fight. Especially Issei.
- "What are you doing here, sensei? If you caused Asia's fight... I'll beat you,'' he declared.
Heh. I grimaced. Dude, do you have no sense of self-preservation at all? You see the corpses of the Fallen and you still try to threaten me?
Rias saw my actions and apparently guessed what I was thinking. She took a step forward and asked cautiously:
- "Please answer the question, Romani-sensei. Are you affiliated with the Church? And why are you here, after all?"
- "Well, I do have some connection to it. But..."
- "Enough! What did you do to Asia?!" Issei interrupted me, and his Sacred Gear took the form of a Boosted Gear. And Kiba, after hearing my first sentence, began to ooze hostility towards me.
God... My eye started twitching. But don't worry, Issei, you'll get your share of suffering later.
- "If you interrupt me one more time, Issei-kun, I'll have to move from talk to action," I said calmly.
- "Hush, Issei!" Rias shrieked, "Don't interfere with the conversation!"
He stopped talking, of course, but he continued to glare at me threateningly. This is so absurd that it's starting to make me laugh.
- "Ahem. I USED to be involved with the Church back in the day. Now, our paths have diverged. So stop trying to kill me with your homo-eyes, Kiba-kun," I continued, "And, where was I interrupted by Pervert-kun? Oh, yeah. I didn't touch a hair of Asia-san's head. I'm not like him, right?"
- "He's right," Koneko said with her impenetrable face. The rest of the group stared at her dumbly.
- "What?" she asked. They remained silent and focused their gaze back on me.
- "Don't look at me like that. You can check the nun's condition yourself," I said with a shrug.
- "That's not the problem, Romani-sensei," Rias said, "All supernatural occurrences in MY territory must be explained to ME. And you're clearly not doing that."
Oya? So that's what we're talking about, huh? Why does she have such a sense of self-importance? Maybe we should let Goetia out again.
- "Not in this life, Romani," he spoke up and fell silent. How can you be so boring, Mr. Long Arms? Anyway, it's time to cool her ardor a bit.
- "Be careful with your words, Tomato-san. Or I might misunderstand you."
Akeno turned away to hide her laughter. Though I, and everyone else, could see her shoulders twitching. And Tomato-san's own eye began to twitch.
- "You're trying my patience, sensei."
- "Ho? You mean you're risking an already shaky peace to interrogate me? And how will Sona-san react when she finds out? And your brother and sister? I guess Gremory's wits have decided to leave your generation," I said and smirked. I even managed to hear Gremory's demon snort in my head.
Heh. The conversation has come to a standstill. She can't do anything to me, and I won't say anything for nothing.
Rias pondered my words while I still smirked and sipped coffee from my cup. After a while, Akeno decided to speak up, seeing her King in a quandary.
- "Sensei, you will explain to us what happened, won't you? I'll be very grateful to you," she said, crossing her arms under her huge breasts.
- "Of course! I'm always in favor of peaceful conversation. I'll visit your Club tomorrow after school. But! I want to know something in return."
- "And what is that, Sensei?" she asked.
- "What do you and Rias eat to grow such udders? I'm pretty sure you used your magic. And that they're natural is my cook's nonsense," I stated. Merlin chuckled upon hearing me, and Emiya squeezed his face shut again. They stood in ghostly form with Grandpa in one corner of the Church and watched the conversation.
When I finished speaking, each of Rias' group reacted differently: Rias stared at me as if I had insulted her mother; Akeno smiled sweetly, repeating her 'Ara-ara'; Koneko threw an understanding look at me; Kiba was still directing waves of aggression in my direction. And Issei... replayed the scene with a nose-dragging flight of blood.
Seeing this, I only shrugged and teleported with my Servants back to the house, leaving Asia in the care of the Occult Research Club. I would have liked to recruit her, of course, but alas, Asia MUST be in Rias's retinue, as the original plot would have it.
Hmm? I think I'm forgetting something... Oh well. What's that saying? 'If you forget something, you forget something.' Heh. I'll think about it later, but for now...
- "Queen Shirou! Give me some food!" I shouted and headed to the dining hall.

The Emiya residence. The basement.
A couple days later. Evening.
Did I visit the Club? Nope. They've had enough of my explanations. They certainly tried to find me and my home, but alas and alack, it is impossible. At least not for someone like them. Why? The Touch of Heaven is a very useful thing if you know how to use it. Like lore Nasuverse said, it allows you to manipulate the soul itself, and by extension, the mind, as was seen in Reynal's example.
I have slightly "tweaked" the perception of the minds of both Club and Student Council members, thus disabling their ability to notice the presence of me or my house. The closest analogy to this is Nurarihyon's ability from the anime of the same name. What was it? "The eyes will see, but the mind will not perceive." Heh. Poor bastards.
Right now I'm wondering who I should send to Azazel. A promise is a promise, after all. Hmm... Da Vinci? Definitely. But who else? Paracelsus? Blavatskaya? Hyde, maybe? Heh. That's a lot of options. Think, Romani. Think.
I pondered for quite a while... Half an hour for sure. Until a certain thought occurred to me. The second Servant may not know science, but Da Vinci is enough for him.
- "Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee."
- "Stop giggling so creepily, Master," Emiya's voice came from behind me. I turned around and glared at him and stopped giggling.
- "What?" he asked.
- "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be cooking dinner?"
- "I would if I had food. One hungry lion ate all our supplies and I had to send some Servants to the store," Emiya replied, "And anyway, why should I cook if you possess the Denial of Nothingness? You can just create food, can't you?"
- "Ho? Am I hearing the first signs of rebellion, Shirou-kun?" I asked, and a wide grin appeared on my face. When he saw it, he jumped up and took on the appearance of a frightened cat.
- "N-no! I'm..."
- "Artoria!" I shouted, not letting him finish, "Shirou said you're fat and eat too much!"
Not a second later, a certain 'King' of the Knights burst into the basement with Excalibur at her side. She found Emiya with her eyes and began to slowly move towards him. Emiya, unable to find an escape route, began to cautiously back away until he hit a wall. He raised his hands and his body trembled with fear.
- "C-calm down, Artoria! I didn't say that!" He shrieked, looking at her with frightened eyes, "Let's just sit down and talk about it!"
Did Artoria listen to him? Nope. Excalibur flashed with golden light every now and then, and its owner came closer and closer to him.
- "By my Command Seal, I command you, Emiya Shirou, use your Innate Bounded Field on yourself and Artoria," I chanted and later added, "I have no desire to deal with the aftermath of your lovemaking. Sort it out, lovebirds."
Emiya, activating the Unlimited Blade Works, looked at me with very, VERY furious eyes. And me? I just smiled sweetly and waved goodbye.
- "I will have my revenge, Master!" He let out a fierce scream and disappeared with Artoria in a ring of flames.
- "You should have kept your mouth shut, Queen Shirou," I said into the void and returned to the matter of summoning.
Well. Where was I? Oh, yes. Da Vinci and 'someone'. After pumping the summoning circle with mana, it lit up, and two female figures appeared before me.
- "Pleased to meet you. Caster class servant, Leonardo da Vinci. You can call me Da Vinci-chan~"
- "You can rest easy now that I'm with you. Let's save everyone's lives."
- "Uh-huh. It's nice to meet you both. And you can use the 'you' word," I said and headed upstairs, "Let's go. I'll explain everything upstairs."
They nodded and followed me. Heh. I think Azazel is going to have a lot of fun.

Kuoh Academy.
Next Day.
After dropping an explanation on the other Servants, and getting a good night's sleep, I headed to the Academy the next day. As soon as I passed through the gate, my senses picked up on something. Or rather, someone.
- "My descendant is around. Two even," the demon Phenex said mentally.
Oh? So today's the day, then? Heh. Lucky, lucky.
Without a second thought, I went to the Occult Research Club. Upon reaching it, I canceled the influence on their minds regarding me and, without knocking, opened the door. Instantly, the gazes of the demons present in the Club focused on me. Surveying the situation in the room, I was able to realize from Issei lying on the floor and Riser's entourage present that they had already reached the point of threatening each other.
- "Geez, are you busy? I apologize for the interruption," I said, smiling, and entered the room. Reaching a vacant corner, I produced a chair and a cup of coffee, pretending to be a casual listener.
The demons, upon hearing me, grimaced in pain for a moment and fell silent, not commenting on my next actions in any way, aside from already having a look in my direction. And, of course, the silence was interrupted by the well-known "Chicken".
- "Who are you? What's an inferior human doing here?"
- "J..."
- "Please stop using that word in our presence, Romani-sensei." Akeno interrupted me. I looked around, and realized that the demons were ready to pounce on me. Except for Greyfia, who had been trying to understand my motives all this time.
- "Only f..."
- "Who are you?! How dare you interrupt a meeting with my fiancée?!" Riser has jumped in.
- "Is this really my descendant?" I heard the Phenex demon's surprised voice.
My eye twitched, and I stared at him.
This is starting to get on my nerves. Should I lay siege to him a little? I think I should.
I used 3rd magic on him and was about to temporarily erase his demon abilities when I suddenly noticed something. Namely, his current thoughts in his head. There was only one word: 'Tired of it'.
Ho-ho-ho-ho. Yes, we have a case of impressive acting here. Digging deeper into his memories, I was able to discover that he didn't like his current circumstances either. The family contract forces him to marry Rias, which Raiser doesn't want. He has enough of his own entourage. But he can't just break off the engagement, even if Rias is all for it. To do so would be to jeopardize their families' authority. And in demon society, there would be rumors of one family's superiority over the other. And this whole mess is about the desire to merge the power of Destruction and the "invulnerability" of the Phenex.
Riser's hands are tied, too. If he simply marries Rias, he will fall into Sirzechs's disfavor. Which is actually suicide. So he decided to make an asshole of himself to make Rias hate him and make her look for all sorts of ways to break the engagement, since he didn't have any.
- "How silly," the demon Phenex said, "The consecrated weapons will still be effective against them. They can't get rid of their strongest weakness."
- "They don't want to gain effectiveness,'' Gremory spoke up, "They want status. Status among themselves."
- "Apparently, the demons of this world are too much like humans," I heard the demon Bael already, "Too human, too... dependent."
Well, they're right. This world is more focused on the bright side of everything. The Nasuverse, on the other hand, is darker and more realistic than DxD in that regard.
Well, based on all this information I've gotten, I'll proceed in a different way.
- "It's a pleasure to meet you, honorable sir. May I have your name?" I said to Riser and stood up and bowed.
At this scene, the Rias Club members opened their mouths and stared at me with a mute question, 'Why?' The eternally stoic Greyfia also stared at me. Raiser's entourage didn't react, but Raiser raised an eyebrow.
- "It's nice to know that someone knows about manners and respect," he said confidently, "I guess I was wrong to take you for a mere low man. My name is Riser Phenex. Remember it well."
- "Thank you for satisfying my curiosity, Lord Phenex. My name is Romani Archaman, humble Magician. May I know the reason for your visit?"
- "Lord Phenex is my father. You may address me as 'Lord Riser'. And I've come here to visit my fiancée, Rias Gremory."
- "Oh? Then congratulations, Lord Riser," I said, and noticed that he stood up, getting ready to leave, "Before you go, can you fulfill my humble request?"
When he heard me, he looked at me and hesitated, still not removing his haughty expression. After a couple of seconds, he decided to answer:
- "What is the request, Romani Archaman?"
- "Can you give me some way to contact you or your family? I have always admired the Phenex' ability to regenerate and would like to learn more about it."
- "Hmmm..." he pondered and after a bit of thought, he turned to his younger sister, "Ravel, give him your appeal flyer. Since he has shown us the respect we have, he may get a small reward."
- "Okay, brother," Ravel said and walked over to me and did as Raiser had asked her. I took the flyer and, bowing, kissed her hand.
- "Thank you, Lady Ravel," I said and smiled.
- "N-not at all," she said nervously, a slight blush appearing on her cheeks, "I-I only did it because my brother said so."
Heh. Can we please not do this? I don't want to go to jail. Uh-huh. The Ophis is good enough for me. Although, when you think about it, she's a legitimate loli. But she's got the mind of a child. Uh-huh. It's complicated.
- "Ravel, are you done? We're leaving," Riser asked her.
- "Y-yes! I'm coming!" she shrieked and ran up to him.
As soon as Ravel stood next to him. A fiery teleportation circle of fire lit up beneath the entire group.
- "You have ten days to prepare. I will meet you at the game, my beloved Rias," Riser said one last time.
And with those words, he and his entourage disappeared. The room was silent for a few more minutes. And, of course, I decided to break it.
- "He's not bad, is he?"
And, of course, the reaction to my words was nothing but stares at me, as if to ask if I was an idiot.

A couple days later. Evening.
Did I visit the Club? Nope. They've had enough of my explanations. They certainly tried to find me and my home, but alas and alack, it is impossible. At least not for someone like them. Why? The Touch of Heaven is a very useful thing if you know how to use it. Like lore Nasuverse said, it allows you to manipulate the soul itself, and by extension, the mind, as was seen in Reynal's example.
I have slightly "tweaked" the perception of the minds of both Club and Student Council members, thus disabling their ability to notice the presence of me or my house. The closest analogy to this is Nurarihyon's ability from the anime of the same name. What was it? "The eyes will see, but the mind will not perceive." Heh. Poor bastards.
Right now I'm wondering who I should send to Azazel. A promise is a promise, after all. Hmm... Da Vinci? Definitely. But who else? Paracelsus? Blavatskaya? Hyde, maybe? Heh. That's a lot of options. Think, Romani. Think.
I pondered for quite a while... Half an hour for sure. Until a certain thought occurred to me. The second Servant may not know science, but Da Vinci is enough for him.
- "Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee."
- "Stop giggling so creepily, Master," Emiya's voice came from behind me. I turned around and glared at him and stopped giggling.
- "What?" he asked.
- "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be cooking dinner?"
- "I would if I had food. One hungry lion ate all our supplies and I had to send some Servants to the store," Emiya replied, "And anyway, why should I cook if you possess the Denial of Nothingness? You can just create food, can't you?"
- "Ho? Am I hearing the first signs of rebellion, Shirou-kun?" I asked, and a wide grin appeared on my face. When he saw it, he jumped up and took on the appearance of a frightened cat.
- "N-no! I'm..."
- "Artoria!" I shouted, not letting him finish, "Shirou said you're fat and eat too much!"
Not a second later, a certain 'King' of the Knights burst into the basement with Excalibur at her side. She found Emiya with her eyes and began to slowly move towards him. Emiya, unable to find an escape route, began to cautiously back away until he hit a wall. He raised his hands and his body trembled with fear.
- "C-calm down, Artoria! I didn't say that!" He shrieked, looking at her with frightened eyes, "Let's just sit down and talk about it!"
Did Artoria listen to him? Nope. Excalibur flashed with golden light every now and then, and its owner came closer and closer to him.
- "By my Command Seal, I command you, Emiya Shirou, use your Innate Bounded Field on yourself and Artoria," I chanted and later added, "I have no desire to deal with the aftermath of your lovemaking. Sort it out, lovebirds."
Emiya, activating the Unlimited Blade Works, looked at me with very, VERY furious eyes. And me? I just smiled sweetly and waved goodbye.
- "I will have my revenge, Master!" He let out a fierce scream and disappeared with Artoria in a ring of flames.
- "You should have kept your mouth shut, Queen Shirou," I said into the void and returned to the matter of summoning.
Well. Where was I? Oh, yes. Da Vinci and 'someone'. After pumping the summoning circle with mana, it lit up, and two female figures appeared before me.
- "Pleased to meet you. Caster class servant, Leonardo da Vinci. You can call me Da Vinci-chan~"
- "You can rest easy now that I'm with you. Let's save everyone's lives."
- "Uh-huh. It's nice to meet you both. And you can use the 'you' word," I said and headed upstairs, "Let's go. I'll explain everything upstairs."
They nodded and followed me. Heh. I think Azazel is going to have a lot of fun.

Kuoh Academy.
Next Day.
After dropping an explanation on the other Servants, and getting a good night's sleep, I headed to the Academy the next day. As soon as I passed through the gate, my senses picked up on something. Or rather, someone.
- "My descendant is around. Two even," the demon Phenex said mentally.
Oh? So today's the day, then? Heh. Lucky, lucky.
Without a second thought, I went to the Occult Research Club. Upon reaching it, I canceled the influence on their minds regarding me and, without knocking, opened the door. Instantly, the gazes of the demons present in the Club focused on me. Surveying the situation in the room, I was able to realize from Issei lying on the floor and Riser's entourage present that they had already reached the point of threatening each other.
- "Geez, are you busy? I apologize for the interruption," I said, smiling, and entered the room. Reaching a vacant corner, I produced a chair and a cup of coffee, pretending to be a casual listener.
The demons, upon hearing me, grimaced in pain for a moment and fell silent, not commenting on my next actions in any way, aside from already having a look in my direction. And, of course, the silence was interrupted by the well-known "Chicken".
- "Who are you? What's an inferior human doing here?"
- "J..."
- "Please stop using that word in our presence, Romani-sensei." Akeno interrupted me. I looked around, and realized that the demons were ready to pounce on me. Except for Greyfia, who had been trying to understand my motives all this time.
- "Only f..."
- "Who are you?! How dare you interrupt a meeting with my fiancée?!" Riser has jumped in.
- "Is this really my descendant?" I heard the Phenex demon's surprised voice.
My eye twitched, and I stared at him.
This is starting to get on my nerves. Should I lay siege to him a little? I think I should.
I used 3rd magic on him and was about to temporarily erase his demon abilities when I suddenly noticed something. Namely, his current thoughts in his head. There was only one word: 'Tired of it'.
Ho-ho-ho-ho. Yes, we have a case of impressive acting here. Digging deeper into his memories, I was able to discover that he didn't like his current circumstances either. The family contract forces him to marry Rias, which Raiser doesn't want. He has enough of his own entourage. But he can't just break off the engagement, even if Rias is all for it. To do so would be to jeopardize their families' authority. And in demon society, there would be rumors of one family's superiority over the other. And this whole mess is about the desire to merge the power of Destruction and the "invulnerability" of the Phenex.
Riser's hands are tied, too. If he simply marries Rias, he will fall into Sirzechs's disfavor. Which is actually suicide. So he decided to make an asshole of himself to make Rias hate him and make her look for all sorts of ways to break the engagement, since he didn't have any.
- "How silly," the demon Phenex said, "The consecrated weapons will still be effective against them. They can't get rid of their strongest weakness."
- "They don't want to gain effectiveness,'' Gremory spoke up, "They want status. Status among themselves."
- "Apparently, the demons of this world are too much like humans," I heard the demon Bael already, "Too human, too... dependent."
Well, they're right. This world is more focused on the bright side of everything. The Nasuverse, on the other hand, is darker and more realistic than DxD in that regard.
Well, based on all this information I've gotten, I'll proceed in a different way.
- "It's a pleasure to meet you, honorable sir. May I have your name?" I said to Riser and stood up and bowed.
At this scene, the Rias Club members opened their mouths and stared at me with a mute question, 'Why?' The eternally stoic Greyfia also stared at me. Raiser's entourage didn't react, but Raiser raised an eyebrow.
- "It's nice to know that someone knows about manners and respect," he said confidently, "I guess I was wrong to take you for a mere low man. My name is Riser Phenex. Remember it well."
- "Thank you for satisfying my curiosity, Lord Phenex. My name is Romani Archaman, humble Magician. May I know the reason for your visit?"
- "Lord Phenex is my father. You may address me as 'Lord Riser'. And I've come here to visit my fiancée, Rias Gremory."
- "Oh? Then congratulations, Lord Riser," I said, and noticed that he stood up, getting ready to leave, "Before you go, can you fulfill my humble request?"
When he heard me, he looked at me and hesitated, still not removing his haughty expression. After a couple of seconds, he decided to answer:
- "What is the request, Romani Archaman?"
- "Can you give me some way to contact you or your family? I have always admired the Phenex' ability to regenerate and would like to learn more about it."
- "Hmmm..." he pondered and after a bit of thought, he turned to his younger sister, "Ravel, give him your appeal flyer. Since he has shown us the respect we have, he may get a small reward."
- "Okay, brother," Ravel said and walked over to me and did as Raiser had asked her. I took the flyer and, bowing, kissed her hand.
- "Thank you, Lady Ravel," I said and smiled.
- "N-not at all," she said nervously, a slight blush appearing on her cheeks, "I-I only did it because my brother said so."
Heh. Can we please not do this? I don't want to go to jail. Uh-huh. The Ophis is good enough for me. Although, when you think about it, she's a legitimate loli. But she's got the mind of a child. Uh-huh. It's complicated.

Kuoh Academy. The occult research club.
- "Will you finally answer why you came here?" Rias asked me for the tenth time. Why? Since Emiya is unavailable, I decided to taunt the demons.
It had been about two hours since Riser and his entourage had left, and I was still sitting and watching them. As well as them watching me. Greyfia had already left to inform Sirzechs about the Rating Game.
- "I will, of course!" I said in a cheerful voice and suddenly fell silent. And of course, Rias' nerves couldn't take the strain.
- "Well?! You've been sitting here for two hours and disturbing us while we need to make a training plan!"
- "That's exactly what my answer is, Rias-san!" I stated, "I propose to leave Issei's training to me, and I promise to bring him back safely. At least physically."
All the members of the Club stared at me in surprise. Issei was especially surprised.
- "Why me?" he asked, "If you can help with the training, why not help the President and the others? They're stronger than me."
Well, well, well. Look at this caring protagonist. He just trusted me without any hesitation. The word "self-preservation" is conspicuously absent from his vocabulary. But fear not. A couple of training sessions with Emiya or perhaps Gilgamesh will teach him about life. Hehehehe.
- "That's the reason, pervert-kun. You're the weakest link of the retinue, and thus you'll need more mooch training,'' I said, nearly getting burned.
- "Romani-sensei, why are you doing this? I don't want to leave my Issei in the hands of someone I don't trust. You could be a spy for another faction and just get rid of him, couldn't you?" Rias expressed her doubt, "We couldn't even find you or at least sense you these two days. Where are the guarantees that you have no evil intentions?"
- "The contract. You yourself must realize that a contract with Scarlet Satan himself is very powerful, isn't it?"
She nodded reluctantly. I wondered if I should leave Issei to me. Should I sweeten her choice? Why not?
- "If you agree, I'd even be willing to answer a couple of your questions HONESTLY. And of course, Akeno-san can visit him from time to time," I said and waited for her decision.
You'll say I could just take Issei away without saying anything, but why? Rias will agree anyway, she's desperate and will accept any help, even if it's risky.
- "I'll do it!" Issei declared, "If it helps the President, then I'll agree."
- "Thank you, Issei," Rias said with a sweet smile and turned to me, "Good. I agree, sensei. Akeno will visit you from time to time to check on him."
Heh. Look at this. One sentence and the heroine already believes in him and smiles sweetly. It's amazing.
- "Well. Then say goodbye to them, perverted-kun," I said, getting up from the couch, "And memorize their faces. You'll need it."
- "What do you mean, sensei? You make it sound like I'm going to war," Issei asked in surprise.
That is indeed true, protagonist. I promised you my share of suffering, didn't I? Heeheeheeheehee.
- "Why do I get the feeling that I'm going to die in this training?" He shuddered.
Oh? It only came up now? And it's late, friend, really late.
- "Don't mind me. You're just imagining things," I said and grabbed Issei and teleported home. I also mentally asked Emiya to prepare 'something'.

Emiya's residence.
As soon as we appeared in the common room, I threw Issei on the couch and headed to the kitchen to get the 'something'. But I didn't take into account the fact that right now, besides us, there was a certain dragon mother-daughter duo watching TV in the room. Upon seeing them, or rather Tiamat's forms and attire, Issei's reaction was rather obvious.
- "Sensei, who is that! You live with such a hot chick and you don't say anything about it?!" I heard him shout even from the kitchen. My eye twitched. Can't he see her horns or eyes? Aaah.... Understanding. His gaze didn't rise above the level of her breasts. Well, it won't be for long.
- "Partner, be careful what you say. She's a dragon. A powerful one," I heard an unknown voice say. Hmm? Partner? I see, I see.
Returning to the common room, I directed my gaze to Issei's hand and squinted. So they had already established a connection? But he was silent about the Ophis. Interesting.
- "You can prove yourself, Ddraig. I can hear you, and so can they," I said, and pointed to Tiamat and Ophis, "And don't you recognize your 'Mother'?"
The question seemed to confuse both Issei and Ddraig. Issei glanced back and forth at me, then at his hand with the glove materializing on it. Ophis didn't care, as she was just sitting on Tiamat's lap and quietly munching on Emiya's cookies. Tiamat herself was smiling softly as she looked at Issei and me.
- "Ddraig? What does sensei mean?" Issei asked, looking at the glove.
- "Partner," said Ddraig slowly, "If what your sensei said is true, then we are in the presence of the 'Great Mother', the Primordial Goddess and parent of ALL dragons."
- "What do you mean, Ddraig?! Are you saying that chick is the mother of all dragons?!" Issei shrieked.
My face creased and my eye twitched. And my magic began to emanate from me in waves. Did the culprit of my current state notice this? Nope. He certainly annoyed me when he was on the other side of the screen, but now that I see him with my own eyes... I want to kill him. Just kill him and forget about him. But I can't. For I risk the total disappearance of myself and my Servants.
- "Please be quiet, partner. I don't want us to die so soon after my awakening," said Ddraig, sensing my magic, "Dear Magician, may I ask what the Great Mother and Ophis are doing here?"
Apparently, the Ophis was too busy as she wasn't paying attention to her surroundings at all. Hehe. The dragon has more sense of tact than that pervert. The pervert himself was still staring at Tiamat, but he still fell silent. That's great.
- "They live with me. And don't worry. Though I MAY kill you and your current host, I won't," I said in a calm tone and turned back to Issei, placing the 'something' on the table in front of him, "Well, what about you, you pervert-kun. Since I've taken you to training, it's about time you started it, and in front of you is an indicator of your progress."
He glanced ahead of him, and after examining this 'something', he asked:
- "Sensei, this is just a regular plate of food, isn't it? I thought I was in for one hell of a workout," he asked incredulously.
Oh, dearie, you have no idea what awaits you.
- "Like I said, this is an indicator of your progress. Your job is to eat everything on this plate and not pass out," I said and smirked, "You don't want to let Rias-san down, do you?"
- "Of course!!! I'll do anything to save the President!" Issei shrieked and shoved a spoonful of the contents of his plate into his mouth. And of course, he instantly lost consciousness. Ah. Silence and peace.
- "That was a very cruel act, Master," Emiya stated and materialized, "No one can eat THIS without losing consciousness in the process. Only that bastard priest could do that. As well as the rest of his family."
Some of you have probably already guessed that I fed the Kotomine Edition Mapo Tofu to the pervert. You can't judge me for that act! Yes, it was cruel, but he deserved it!
- "Anyway, he's all yours, Emiya. You can do whatever you want to him, as long as he stays alive. It's kinda normal for one main character to train another, right?" I asked, at the same time mentally summoning the two Servants I planned to go to Azazel with.
Emiya squeezed his face with his hand, but still hefted Issei onto his shoulder and left. Hehe. Apparently, he realized that confronting me was foolish.
After he left, the two Servants I had called out to me came over to me.
- "Well, Master. Are we going to see your Fallen friend?" Da Vinci asked. The second Servant only followed her in silence.
- "Uh-huh. By the way, where are Enkidu and Gilgamesh? I don't sense them around," I asked.
- "Oh, them? Gilgamesh wanted to see the world and took Enkidu with him. I don't think we'll see them anytime soon," she replied.
I nodded. I hope he doesn't run into any trouble on his journey. Hehe. Who am I kidding? He's bound to run into them, given his temperament. We can only hope that Enkidu will somehow keep the Golden Asshole's temper in check.
- "Well, are you ready?" I asked, and they nodded.
- "Then, let's go," I said and teleported with them.

Azazel's house.
We appeared in the living room where I had last spoken to Azazel. Looking around, my eyes saw him playing a console and sipping whiskey. Noticing my gaze, he turned and saw me with two Servants.
- "Оh? You finally came to visit me?" He asked and looked at the Servants, "Are they the Servants you were talking about? What beautiful ladies."
And he doesn't change, does he?
- "Оh? Thank you for the compliment and it is a pleasure to meet you, Azazel-san. I'm Leonardo da Vinci, Caster class, but you can call me da Vinci-chan~," Da Vinci introduced herself. The second Servant remained silent.
- "Hm? Da Vinci? Wasn't he a man? And why does she look so much like the Mona Lisa?" Azazel asked, "And who is the other beautiful lady?"
- "Don't worry about that, Azazel-kun. Leonardo da Vinci is a genius. That says it all. She'll help you with the Sacred Gears," I said, "And about the second Servant... What do you know about the first School of Sisters of Mercy?"
- "As I recall, its first head was Florence Nightingale," he answered, and a few moments later his eyes widened, "That's her, isn't it?"
- "That's why I like you, Azazel-kun. Yes, that's her. And by the way, her class is Berserker," I said and turned to her with a smirk, "Nightingale, as you could see, Azazel has a very unhealthy lifestyle, drinking on and off. I think he needs treatment."
The reaction was instantaneous. She got behind him and stuck him with a syringe with something in it. Whatever it was, he ended up paralyzed without even realizing what happened.
- "You shouldn't abuse alcohol, Azazel-san. It's bad for your health," she said with a stony face, and she threw him on a vacant couch and pulled out another syringe from somewhere, but it was the size of an adult child, "You need to take this medication to avoid alcohol dependence syndrome. Keeping you healthy and alive is my priority, even if I have to maim you in the process."
Azazel's eyes widened and filled with fear as he looked at the huge syringe and the Servant approaching with it. He glanced at me and Da Vinci, silently pleading for help, but... Da Vinci just made an apologetic gesture and turned away, since he was already familiar with Nightingale and her methods of 'treatment'. And me, I just smiled sweetly and waved goodbye and teleported back to the Emiya Residence.
Have a fun day, Azazel-kun, I thought and headed to my room. The Occult Studies Club would be out of school for the next ten days, so I could pay the Student Council a visit. After all, Sona still owes me a cosplay photo shoot, doesn't she?
With these thoughts, I went to bed, waiting for the next day.

Some of you have probably already guessed that I fed the Kotomine Edition Mapo Tofu to the pervert. You can't judge me for that act! Yes, it was cruel, but he deserved it!
- "Anyway, he's all yours, Emiya. You can do whatever you want to him, as long as he stays alive. It's kinda normal for one main character to train another, right?" I asked, at the same time mentally summoning the two Servants I planned to go to Azazel with.
Emiya squeezed his face with his hand, but still hefted Issei onto his shoulder and left. Hehe. Apparently, he realized that confronting me was foolish.
After he left, the two Servants I had called out to me came over to me.
- "Well, Master. Are we going to see your Fallen friend?" Da Vinci asked. The second Servant only followed her in silence.
- "Uh-huh. By the way, where are Enkidu and Gilgamesh? I don't sense them around," I asked.
- "Oh, them? Gilgamesh wanted to see the world and took Enkidu with him. I don't think we'll see them anytime soon," she replied.
I nodded. I hope he doesn't run into any trouble on his journey. Hehe. Who am I kidding? He's bound to run into them, given his temperament. We can only hope that Enkidu will somehow keep the Golden Asshole's temper in check.
- "Well, are you ready?" I asked, and they nodded.
- "Then, let's go," I said and teleported with them.

Azazel's house.
We appeared in the living room where I had last spoken to Azazel. Looking around, my eyes saw him playing a console and sipping whiskey. Noticing my gaze, he turned and saw me with two Servants.
- "Оh? You finally came to visit me?" He asked and looked at the Servants, "Are they the Servants you were talking about? What beautiful ladies."
And he doesn't change, does he?
- "Оh? Thank you for the compliment and it is a pleasure to meet you, Azazel-san. I'm Leonardo da Vinci, Caster class, but you can call me da Vinci-chan~," Da Vinci introduced herself. The second Servant remained silent.
- "Hm? Da Vinci? Wasn't he a man? And why does she look so much like the Mona Lisa?" Azazel asked, "And who is the other beautiful lady?"
- "Don't worry about that, Azazel-kun. Leonardo da Vinci is a genius. That says it all. She'll help you with the Sacred Gears," I said, "And about the second Servant... What do you know about the first School of Sisters of Mercy?"
- "As I recall, its first head was Florence Nightingale," he answered, and a few moments later his eyes widened, "That's her, isn't it?"
- "That's why I like you, Azazel-kun. Yes, that's her. And by the way, her class is Berserker," I said and turned to her with a smirk, "Nightingale, as you could see, Azazel has a very unhealthy lifestyle, drinking on and off. I think he needs treatment."
The reaction was instantaneous. She got behind him and stuck him with a syringe with something in it. Whatever it was, he ended up paralyzed without even realizing what happened.
- "You shouldn't abuse alcohol, Azazel-san. It's bad for your health," she said with a stony face, and she threw him on a vacant couch and pulled out another syringe from somewhere, but it was the size of an adult child, "You need to take this medication to avoid alcohol dependence syndrome. Keeping you healthy and alive is my priority, even if I have to maim you in the process."
Azazel's eyes widened and filled with fear as he looked at the huge syringe and the Servant approaching with it. He glanced at me and Da Vinci, silently pleading for help, but... Da Vinci just made an apologetic gesture and turned away, since he was already familiar with Nightingale and her methods of 'treatment'. And me, I just smiled sweetly and waved goodbye and teleported back to the Emiya Residence.
Have a fun day, Azazel-kun, I thought and headed to my room. The Occult Studies Club would be out of school for the next ten days, so I could pay the Student Council a visit. After all, Sona still owes me a cosplay photo shoot, doesn't she?
With these thoughts, I went to bed, waiting for the next day.
