It has been a few days since Menma-kun and I discovered that we had Sacred Gears. I didn't know about it and I didn't think about it but now I wish I never did those silly things. Knowing about a Sacred Gear isn't right at all. I don't even know what it does and I don't care. It's too dangerous to even have one. Some creepy aura appears around my body whenever I summon my Sacred Gear. I tried it but it didn't do anything other than just produce that aura. It was...I don't know anymore. It was a little scary to say the least.
But I'm not going to let it bother me. The only thing that bothers me is that ape Gremory and the way she treats Menma-kun. She's welcome to him as I know that he likes looking at her breasts, but she doesn't treat him like an equal. I know in some aspects that she is above him. But they should have respect for one another. And I hate that she doesn't even respect him at all. In fact, it really pisses me off. And I've made it known that it pisses me off.
"Geez Naruko-chan. You don't have to be so nasty to Buchou you know?"
"Menma-kun...you don't know what I know about Devils and the supernatural as a whole. There are Devils out there that will kill for no reason other than to have fun. And the same for the Fallen Angels. I can't say the same about Angels but I'm almost certain that they might be just as bad."
"Why do you not like the supernatural so much? Is it because of the whole Devils killed your parents thing?"
"Its not just that. I honestly don't like the evil intentions people with power have."
"But, you have a Sacred Gear thingy! So, don't you also have power?"
He's got a point I suppose. I do have one of those things.
"But I don't plan to use my Sacred Gear, ever. I don't plan to become involved with the supernatural. Once I am comfortable about you being with the Occult Research club, I wont be going back there again."
"Eh? Why?"
"Because its obvious I'm not welcome. Everytime I enter the room, Rias-senpai glares at me. I don't really care what she thinks about me either as she is a disgusting pure blooded Devil. Akeno-san doesn't really acknowledge my presence, Koneko-chan and I… Well, I guess we respect one another. As for Kiba-kun… well, I guess that… erm… I'm not sure what he thinks about me."
"D-Damn… you really don't like pure blooded Devils huh. Well… I can at least see why you wouldn't but I'm sure they aren't all the same."
They are in one way or another. I can feel it in my body. I might be wrong but… I just don't trust Devils, Fallen Angels or any other supernatural creature.
"Like I said, you don't know what I know about the supernatural. If I'm proven wrong in the future, then I will apologize to Rias-senpai myself with a truly sorry sounding tone. But if I'm proven right, then… I don't know anymore. Oh well! Are you happy about being a Devil?"
"Ummmmm, yes! So far, its been good I guess!"
I'm glad he's happy at least. If Menma-kun is happy then I'm happy for him. I smiled at him with a happy look in my eyes. Menma-kun's happiness is something I… eh? Why do I care about his happiness? He'll be happy being a Devil no matter what. He is a pervert and sinful so… he fits in with Devils!
As I thought that, Menma-kun glared at me.
"You just thought about me being the perfect Devil, didn't you?"
"Well, I didn't think perfect Devil. I thought that you fit in well with the Devils. Anyway, let's get to the apes headquarters."
"Ehehe… I really wish you and Buchou got along."
"It'll be a cold day in the Underworld before I get along with her. Just watch her when we enter the room. I bet she either mouths something at me, or just puts up her middle finger."
"Fine! If she doesn't, then you owe me a kiss!"
He's still on that. I'm sure that ape Gremory would be happy to kiss him. ...Oh, why did my heart suddenly plunge when I thought about him kissing Rias-senpai? Suddenly I'm feeling very depressed about the idea of Menma-kun and Rias-senpai kissing.
Must be because I refuse to let Menma-kun have a girlfriend before I get a boyfriend! If he got a girlfriend then… uwah. Kiba-kun, notice my charms! I'm not ugly. I'm a little plain I suppose but… uwah.
"I'm not kissing you! Get it out of your head idiot! But if she does, you have to… do something for me..."
I poked my fingers together shyly. He raised an eyebrow as we walked into the old school building.
"Is it Prince Charming related?"
"...M-Maybe."
"Then no!"
"Uwah! Come on! I do lots of things for you! Like cooking you two of the three meals you have a day! Its not like I'm asking you to ask out Kiba-kun for me! I-I just want to know what he thinks about me… you know, as a girl?"
He rolled his eyes at me! Don't do that! Don't I have a right to know how he feels?
"Ugh… you and your love for the Prince. Geez, is it his looks you like?"
"Erm… a little. But it isn't about looks for me. I just feel like we've both been pain. I guess I'm drawn to guys who have been in pain. I'm sure our pain is different but its still pain nonetheless. So, please find out what he thinks about me!"
"If Buchou does those things then fine! But you have to kiss me if she doesn't!"
"Fine!"
I know she'll do it that's why I agreed. Watch now, she won't do it so I have to kiss him. W-Well, Menma-kun isn't a bad choice I guess. He's… certainly not ugly and I like the nice side of his personality… just not his pervy ways.
We got to the room, and entered. As soon as we did, Rias-senpai put up her middle finger at me. I looked to Menma-kun who faced palmed. Ha! Told you! She hates me, and I hate her. Simple as that.
"Buchou, can you please stop swearing at Uzumaki-san? She hasn't done anything to warrant such volatile actions."
I could get used to Kiba-kun defending me from her. She middle fingers him and looks at Menma-kun.
"So you came hippy, friend of hippy."
As soon as Rias-senpai confirms that he's here, she gives an order to Akeno-san. I'm the friend of hippy? So she's calling Menma-kun a hippy. Funny Rias-senpai. How can you call anyone a hippy?
"Yes, Buchou. Menma-kun, please come to the centre of the magic circle."
He went to the circle as I sat down. I just want Menma-kun to be safe. Maybe he will be. Even Devils… I've heard that the Gremory clan are known to be affectionate with their servants… even the… stupid ape.
"Hippy, your work of giving out the leaflets is over. Well done."
"He has a name ape! It isn't hippy either! Or whatever else you say, Godzilla."
She shook her fist at me. Wow, I'm so scared. I'll just throw a banana at her and she'll get distracted.
"Whatever. Don't speak to me. Now I will have you do the actual job of a Devil Menma."
"Oh! Now I can make contracts!?"
"Yes, that's right. Though, since it's your first time, it's going to be a contract with someone who wants to make a small wish. There's two reservation contracts with Koneko. Since its hard to do both, I will leave one to you."
"…Please help me out."
Koneko-chan bows her head. Uu, Koneko-chan is cute. Even I think that and I'm not a lesbian. Although I'm not closed minded so… ehehe, I'm not entertaining that idea. Even if Kiba-kun asked me… ehehe, no. Maybe with Koneko-chan as she's cute… ehehehe, I'm weird! Koneko-chan just has a cuteness that I want. Akeno-san then starts chanting something in the circle. Most likely the carved seal or something.
"U-Umm…"
"Keep quiet, Menma. Akeno is currently inserting your carved seal into the magic circle."
Oh, I was right. I still got it.
"Menma, put your palms towards here."
He put his left hand towards Rias-senpai, just like she said. Rias-senpai writes something on his palm with her fingers. His palm then glows.
"This allows you to transport to the client's place instantly by making you go through the teleportation type magic circle. And when the contract is done, it lets you return to this room."
"Akeno, are you ready?"
"Yes, Buchou."
Akeno-san steps out of the magic circle.
"Now stand in the centre."
He stands at the centre of the magic circle like she urges him to. Then the magic circle started glowing strongly. I guess it is responding to him.
"The magic circle is responding to the client. You will be teleported to that location now. You already have the manual for what to do after getting teleported right?"
"Yes!"
"Good response. Now, get going!"
He seems pumped up. The magic circle seems to be… eh? Why… don't tell me that he can't use them. Menma-kun… ehehe, I think he doesn't have enough demonic power.
The ape has put her hand to her head. Don't you dare say anything bad about Menma-kun bitch! Akeno-san just smiles like always. Kiba-kun lets out a sigh. I see that it annoyed Menma-kun openly.
"Fuck sake. Menma."
"Y-Yes?"
"It's unfortunate, but it seems like you can't use the magic circle to get transported to the client's location."
Menma-kun looks confused by that. She clarifies.
"Magic circle requires certain amount of demonic powers… It doesn't require that much demonic power. No, its a feat that could be done by any Devil. Even children. Transportation through the magic circle is the first and the easiest step of being a Devil. In other words Menma, your demonic-powers are below that of children. No, it's so low that the magic circle can't respond to it. Menma, your demonic power is incredibly low."
"W-What the heeeeeeeeeeell!"
Poor Menma-kun. I guess its bad for him. Personally, I don't think it matters about how much demonic power you have. As long as he knows how to defend himself. He wouldn't need an ounce of demonic power.
"…Unsightly."
Koneko-chan says it expressionlessly. That is a severe hit on him, Koneko-chan.
"Ara ara. We are in trouble. What should we do, Buchou?"
Akeno-san also has a troubled face and asks Rias-senpai.
Then Rias-senpai says it clearly to Menma-kun after thinking for a while.
"Since there is a client, we can't let him wait. Menma."
"Yes!"
"This never happened before, but you will have to go there on your own feet."
"By myself!?"
"Yes, just like how you handed out the leaflet, you will have to go to the client's house by bicycle. This can't be helped. You don't have any demonic-powers after all. You will have to make up for that with your own body."
"On a bicycle!? I will have to go to the client's place on a bicycle!? Are there even Devils like that!?"
I then see Koneko-chan point at Menma-kun. Geez, Koneko-chan. Even if you are adorable, please be nicer to your comrade!
"Hurry and get going! It's a Devil's job to make contracts! You can't make humans wait!"
"U-Uwaaaaaah! I will do my best!"
"I'll wait here for you Menma-kun! If it gets past midnight though, I'm going home."
"R-Right! See you later!"
Menma-kun then left. Rias-senpai then sighed and looked at me.
"Hmph, so you are waiting here huh."
"Yeah. Any problems with that?"
"Nope. Not a problem at all. It will give me a chance to sense that Sacred Gear inside you."
I covered my body. I suddenly feel danger to my body.
"No you are not. That Sacred Gear is staying buried. I'm never using it so don't bother asking me to activate it either."
"Why!? You were born with it!"
"Yeah, I was born as lots of things but that doesn't mean I have to be those things."
She raised an eyebrow as Koneko-chan and Akeno-san left the room. I guess they have contracts to do or something. Rias-senpai then sighed.
"Whatever. Stay, but don't eat my cookies. I have something to do."
With that, she left. So it's just me and…
