A few days after Kiba-kun stayed at my place, I was just walking along with Menma-kun. He isn't speaking to me like always. I don't know why either. My first thoughts were that he was jealous of Kiba-kun. But then I pushed those thoughts out of my mind. Menma-kun wouldn't be jealous of Kiba-kun at all. Menma-kun isn't interested in me like that. I mean, he has those beauties of the Occult Research club to be with so… I'm not on his or anyone's radar. Although, sometimes… I feel like Kiba-kun might… return my affections.
"Menma-kun, please talk to me."
"Ugh..."
"Ooh! Please! I-I couldn't take it if you didn't speak to me. You are my best friend Menma-kun! Please!"
When he didn't answer me, I stayed in my spot for a few seconds before going after him again. I don't know what his problem is. I haven't done anything wrong. He's the one who jumped to conclusions!
"Menma-kun! This is the last chance I'm going to give you the opportunity to speak to me. If not, then I'm going!"
He openly sighs at me and looks in my direction. It isn't my fault Menma-kun. Please don't blame me for anything. I just offered him a place.
"Sorry, I'm acting like a jerk huh."
"Yeah! I'd say you are! You are overreacting to something that happened a few days ago! It's a bit childish if I'm honest. I'm just trying to see why you are angry with me. I only offered Kiba-kun to stay at my place and he took it. Wouldn't you do the same if a girl did all of that for you? He kept me dry at his own expense and walked me home in the dead of night. So… please stop being nasty towards me and Kiba-kun."
"Y-Yeah… I will to you but I don't like Kiba so I'm not going to change my attitude towards him anytime soon!"
I sighed to myself, then I nodded. I will just have to be doubly nice for Menma-kun and I. Don't worry Kiba-kun, I will make Menma-kun like you eventually.
"Thank you, I suppose. Menma-kun, can I tell you something?"
He nodded at me.
"Sure. We always share anyway."
"Y-Yes… Menma-kun, I think I'm starting to fall in love with Kiba-kun."
"Eh!? I-I thought you already did love him!"
"N-No, I didn't. I had a crush on him, but it wasn't love. But the things he did and the talks we had… I don't know what it is but Menma-kun, he makes me feel… good inside, you know? Like I'm sure Rias-senpai does for you. Like you said yesterday, you like her boobs a lot."
He gained a pink face. Yes, of course he likes the apes's breasts. They are freakishly huge. But Kiba-kun doesn't care about things like that. He even said it himself. He doesn't care about bust sizes. He just cares about personality. And he said he likes my personality...
"Y-Yeah. Buchou has great boobs after all!"
"You know, Kiba-kun and you would make good friends. I don't see why you can't just be friends with him."
"I am not going over why he annoys me!"
I smiled sadly. I wished Menma-kun would get along with Kiba-kun. They'd be great comrades. Even friends.
"Hawaau!"
I heard a cute sounding voice. I turned around with Menma-kun to see...I saw a girl who was dressed as a nun on the floor. Menma-kun went over to her and offered a hand.
"…A-Are you ok?"
"Auu. Why do I keep on tripping over… Oh, I'm sorry. Thank you very much."
From her voice, she seems to be around our age. Menma-kun lifts her up to her feet. The wind blows and blows off her veil. Damn, she's really pretty. She's got long blonde hair, I think my hair is a little longer though. She has green eyes. I guess this girl could be called a Bishoujo. Menma-kun is looking at her with a pink tinted face. I went over to the veil and picked it up. I went back to her and gave it to her.
"Here you go, nun."
"Aah! Thank you very much."
Hearing her voice, Menma-kun blushes. He's never blushed at me like that before… well whatever. Kiba-kun and I will be… together maybe. Menma-kun then speaks up with a nervous sounding voice.
"T-Travelling?"
"No, that's not it. I was appointed to the Church in this town… You both must be residents of this town. It's a pleasure to meet you both."
She said something about the Church in town… and talked about me and Menma-kun. We both bowed at her and she bowed back.
"I have been in trouble since I got here. Ummm…I can't speak Japanese that well… I was lost and other people couldn't understand what I was saying…"
So she's lost huh. That's what I got from her words. Well, there is a Church around here, although I don't know how… well it is. I mean, from what I saw of it not long ago, it was abandoned.
"Menma-kun, isn't there a Church around here someplace?"
"Y-Yeah. You think we should take her?"
"Of course! It's the right thing to do!"
Menma-kun then looked at the nun girl. I suppose she doesn't really understand me. I'm speaking Japanese right now. But she is speaking English. The only reason I know English is because I pay attention in class. I'm getting the gist of what she is saying. I'm not fluent in English but I know enough words to get by. Besides, Menma-kun can understand her as he has that ability all Devils have. The ability to understand others from around the world and hear it in your own language. And the person being spoken to by a Devil will hear the words in the language they are most familiar with.
"I think I might know where the Church is."
"Y-You do! T-Thank you! This is all thanks to God!"
I think she said something about God and thanking him. Well of course. She is a nun. Menma-kun started walking away so I followed after him with the nun. Along the way to the park, the nun suddenly goes inside after hearing a cry.
We followed after her to see that she was patting a child's head.
"Are you ok? Boys shouldn't cry with a minor injury like this."
The nun put her hand towards the injury on the boy's knee. The next moment, a green light appears in her hands. Rings are also on her fingers. I shared a look with Menma-kun.
"That's a Sacred Gear, Menma-kun."
"You think so?"
"Yes. It seems to be a healing Sacred Gear. Hmph, if I had that kind of power, then I would use that Sacred Gear to help people."
"You know, I think I would too."
We smiled at one another as the injury on the boy's knee disappeared. Such amazing healing power. The nun pats the boy's head and looks at us.
"I'm sorry. I had to."
She's totally adorable! She said she had to, I think. An older woman comes over and grabs the boy's hand. I guess that's his Okaa-sama. Okaa-sama...
"Thank you, Onee-chan!"
Aaah! That's lovely! But she looked like she didn't understand. Yeah, I know, nun girl. It's the language barrier after all.
"He said, thank you Onee-chan."
Menma-kun translated for her. She gains a cheery happy face at Menma-kun's words. We then went towards the Church again. But when getting there, Menma-kun looked… like he had seen a ghost. Aah, I forgot. He's a Devil so of course he's going to be feeling a little strange about being near a Church.
"Yes, this is the place! I'm so glad."
The nun shows a sigh of relief after having compared our location with the map she has.
I don't think Menma-kun should be here much longer. I pulled on his shirt, he looked and nodded at me.
"Then we'll be on my way."
"Goodbye nun girl!"
"Please wait!"
She stopped us from leaving.
"I would like to make you both some tea as a gratitude for taking me here..."
"Oh, we're in a rush so we have to get going."
"…But that's…"
She seems troubled. I guess she really wants to thank us for this. It wasn't anything a normal person wouldn't do.
"My name is Menma Namikaze. Everyone around me calls me Menma. So you can call me Ise as well. This beauty here is Naruko Uzumaki. Everyone calls her numbskull. What's your name?"
What did he just say everyone calls me? Numbskull? I'm going to kill him later! How dare he call me a numbskull!? I'm smarter than he is! Just look at our test results in school!
"My name is Asia Argento! Please call me Asia!"
"Then, Sister Asia, let's meet again."
"Yes! Let's meet again, Asia-san!"
"Yes! Menma-san, numbskull-san! I will definitely come and see you both!"
What did she just call me? She called me numbskull-san! As I was about to say something, Menma-kun dragged me away! You little bastard!
"How dare you call me a numbskull, idiot!?"
"Hey, she called you it. I didn't tell her to."
I glared and stormed off. Leave me alone forever. Numbskull! Ugh! He's a numbskull! I huffed and puffed all the way to school while he was shouting after me. Come on, you're a Devil. Catch me up.
