...At the end of the day, I followed Menma-kun to the place of no return. Other words, the Devil's headquarter. That ape is scolding Menma-kun.
"Don't ever get close to the Church again. To us Devils, the Church is an enemy's territory. Just stepping into it can cause a rift between the Devils and God. Since it was an act of kindness by taking the nun to the Church, they didn't harm you, but the Angels are always on the lookout. You were in a situation where it wouldn't be strange for them to hit you with a spear of light."
I don't like that tone she is using with him. It isn't right. If she doesn't knock it off then I'm going to tell her so.
"Don't get involved with people from the Church. Especially the exorcists who are our biggest enemy. They could easily eliminate us because their powers are supported by the prayer of God. More so if it is an exorcist with a Sacred Gear. That would be the same as standing on the boundary of death, Menma."
"Geez ape. You make it sound like he has done something terrible. I didn't know Devils don't even help people out of the goodness of their hearts… oh wait, that's just pure blooded Devils huh."
She looked at me with a pissed off expression.
"And you! You let him help this girl!? You know about this stuff, yet you didn't do anything!?"
"No I didn't. Because, I don't control what Menma-kun does. I support what he does. If it was as bad as you make out, then I would've said something. But all he did was help a nun find her way."
As she was about to say something, Menma-kun did instead.
"I'm sorry Buchou. I got too heated. Anyway, I be careful from now on."
"Menma-kun! Why are you apologizing to her? Just because you have a heart in the place of her ice, doesn't mean you have to apologize for your actions. You did the right thing by helping that girl. Isn't peace better than fighting with Angels, exorcists and the likes? That way, innocents wouldn't die."
I directed that last part at Rias-senpai.
"That's very wishful thinking. You think the exorcists will stop if we are nice to them?"
"Not at all. I never said anything like that. I said peace is the better than fighting. I never said that the actions of the exorcists were the right way. But you can point out faults in everyone. Even spoiled brat like you."
"I am not a spoiled brat! Take that back, bitch!"
"No I wont. Unlike your peerage, you don't control me. You aren't going to speak down to me like you do everyone else. Unlike them, I will tell you your faults. You aren't going to be safeguarded by me."
We glared at one another harshly. Menma-kun wont defend himself from her. She's a girl and his Master. So if Menma-kun isn't going to defend himself and his actions, then I will defend him. No one is going to walk all over him, least of all spoiled brat like she is. I can already tell that she's gotten everything she wanted out of her life so far. A nice peaceful childhood. But all of her peerages have the eyes of someone who is in deep pain. Only Menma-kun doesn't as he had a normal childhood.
Menma-kun then gets between us as sparks are going off.
"Buchou, Naruko-chan… it's fine. I realize I did wrong."
"You didn't Menma-kun. You didn't do anything wrong. That's my whole point. That nun, she wasn't bad. She was a good girl who even healed a child's knee because she is so kind. If people like that are evil, then what does that make Devils?"
Kiba-kun then came over and dragged me away! What are you doing!? I'm not letting her win! He dragged me out of the room and faced me. He's going to tell me I went too far or something.
"Uzumaki-san..."
"I know. I let my anger cloud my better judgment sometimes. But I only get angry like that when people think they can just do things like that to my friends. Don't you agree that Menma-kun did the right thing?"
"I-It isn't my place to say."
Geez, I've put him in an awkward position. I'm such an idiot sometimes.
"I'm sorry, Kiba-kun. I shouldn't have asked you that. She's your King after all. And I don't expect you to go against her for someone you barely know."
"Thank you for understanding. But for what it's worth, I do agree with your opinion rather than Buchou's."
He agrees with me. A small shy smile appeared on my face and I directed that at Kiba-kun.
"Hehe, thank you. Don't worry, I wont tell her you said that. I just don't like the way she treats Menma-kun. He's a good person, and he helped her despite knowing that she was a nun. If that's bad then what's good in the world of the Devils?"
"That's a good question. Lets head back."
I nodded and we went back into the room. My eyes locked with hers but I didn't say anything and neither did she.
"Yuuto. We are going on a hunt."
She said. A hunt? They go hunting Devils… or is it a human hunt? Hmph, no. I don't think even she'd do that.
"I understand. Please wait here Uzumaki-san. It will be dangerous and I wouldn't want you to get hurt."
I'm sure he's saying these things to win me or something. It sounds too perfect to be real but it is real. He really cares about me so much… despite not knowing the real me.
"W-What? No, I'm going. If Menma-kun is then I am also."
"Fuck sake. No, you idiot. You can't go. A human being there will be dangerous. Even if you piss me off, I'm not giving you more ammo to attack me with."
Is that how she sees it? I'm attacking her? I'm not attacking her. I'm just pointing out the flaws in the Devils world. She's the one who takes it too far… and I guess I do sometimes but that's because I defend my friends!
"I'm still going. If Menma-kun is then I am. Don't worry about me, Kiba-kun will protect me, wont you, Kiba-kun?"
He became a little flustered at my smile.
"Y-Yes, with my life. Don't worry Buchou, I will keep her safe."
Hearing that, Rias-senpai sighed heavily.
"Fuck sake. Fine! Come then! If you get killed, don't blame me!"
"I wouldn't dream of blaming you for my death."
So like that, we all went to find this… whatever they are hunting. I don't pretend to know what they do.
