Chapitre 8: A Black Cat
(PoV MC)
'What happened while I was gone?!'
I thought as I looked at my bed, lying on the bed was Koneko wearing only a shirt and panties, before processing the situation I felt a headache again, ah, my memories are being rewritten, not that I care, because I'm still being myself, it was like again the world was trying to put me in a logical way in history, it wasn't such a big change
(A/N: This is really important, this is where some very interesting things will start in the MC)
After that headache passed, I noticed that at the foot of the bed were my two bags, I decided to ignore the sight of Koneko in front of me and just took the bags, after that I left through the open window, walked towards the square, getting there I decided to prepare a lot of food for myself
After all, I went ten days without eating anything, even though I'm immortal and don't need to eat to survive, I still feel a little weaker on an empty stomach, and I like food, so I prepared different dishes and even made some sweets, and seeing all that something came into my mind 'how does all this fit in just one bag?
When it was 5:45 am, when I was about to eat, I felt an extremely strong presence enveloping the whole square, I was on alert obviously, but when I looked in all directions, I saw a little girl who was a little smaller than Koneko(she is 137 cm ;-;)
The little girl was dressed in a gothic black outfit, she had waist-length black hair and gray eyes, her ears were pointed, like the elves we see in anime, anyone who watched the DxD anime would instantly recognize her, the being in front of me was Ophis, or better known as the Ouroboros Dragon, seeing her in front of me I decided to use my Oscar level acting to act naturally
Ophis seemed to be curious about my food as she looked at Kuoh she must have seen me preparing the dishes, and ended up wanting, especially eating the sweets, I tried to greet her as naturally as I could, but unfortunately I ended up stuttering a little at the beginning of the sentence, unfortunately it was just because of the surprise I had to see her there
"H-Hello little girl? What brings you here so early? What is your name?"
I tried to speak while making the best smile I could, she in this case, didn't mind saying anything to me, just looking at me with empty eyes and saying a simple word
"Ophis"
"I see… Ophis-Chan, it looks like you came here for the food, didn't you? Are you hungry? Do you want some?"
She just nodded hearing my words, I'm not one of the best people to try and talk to her, I would just give her what she wanted, I gave her some meat, upon tasting the first piece her eyes seemed to glow with satisfaction, even though they still looked empty in front of me, now a small question... how to tame one of the strongest beings in the universe? Simple! Conquer your stomach! Even if I can't conquer her over that way, I can at least make her have a favorable view of me.
So she didn't get full from just one piece, in ten minutes, she ate 1 third of all the food I prepared, she still didn't look full, and I was forced to give her everything, when Ophis was done... did she look sad? I don't know, I can't read this dragon's expressions, but her eyes had completely lost their sparkle, but she soon looked at me, as if she was assessing me, and spoke
"Hey you, join the Khaos brigade"
Huh? Eh? When I heard his request I froze, my mind had gone blank, because I didn't believe in this unrealistic proposal, I could join the Khaos Brigade, but with that headache would tirelessly come to me, and I don't want that, I prefer to be free and make my choices, and I know the reason for the Khaos Brigade to come into existence, to remove Great Red from the dimensional rift, former home of Ophis, I have nothing against Great Red, so I'm going to use my acting and pretend I don't know anything
"Sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about-"
"Liar"
'Huh?'
"I can feel it clearly, you are strong"
At that moment my face became serious, yes, the memories that were added to match my strength, caused the memories of me being a 17 year old boy in this world to become something false, it seems, now I am a being that lived for 3000 years, or something like that, the question is that people who possess that age or older can consequently know about my existence, my memory remains the same, but it has changed to be the equivalent of my strength, surely something thought by the God who brought me here, while thinking about the possibilities
People younger than me 3000 years old would not get to know me, as my "activities" related to the supernatural world had already ceased after that time, with that it's more like I had become an ancient legend in the supernatural world, the reason why I was nothing more than a legend to them is that I was a human, no one would imagine that a human would do such things, so I was treated like a legend, Ophis spoke again
"Fox sin of greed Ban, join me"
Ok, Fuck, it was obvious that she knew me, but I didn't care the same way, she being a being that has existed since the beginning of the universe, owner of the conceptual power of "infinity", she must have already seen me at some point, but I saw it clearly, that while she was talking, her eyes were shining as if it was another reason that made her say that, hoping that I would join her faction, if it can be called that, because for me, I would define her faction as, young people with silly ideals and stories of sad background who wants to get stronger by joining Ophis, obviously I'm talking about Vali
"Sorry Ouroboros dragon, but I want to live quietly now, I'm enjoying this life of mine, oh, and if you want, you can come eat again, but at another time, I have to continue my quiet life routine now"
'Which will soon become quite hectic'
Ophis didn't seem to be annoyed that I denied her and even nodded, her eyes shining a little when I said about food, after that, she disappeared, as if she was never there, when I looked at the clock it was already 6:10 am, so I decided to go to the bathroom, when I was inside taking a shower I remembered the conversation I had with the god
--------------It's Flashback time-----------------------
(back to conversation with god)
Looking at the god, I remembered about the gift he had promised me when I was conscious before the "transformation" I had undergone, so I was thinking about talking about it, but before I even got to the point, he soon started talking
"Well... our time here is almost running out, so I'll be brief, what I'll give you here is a sacred gear, not the conventional ones that were made by the false god of the bible, but a version especially for you, don't worry, it won't affect you negatively, but be aware, because it can be a little difficult to control, or rather, you'll know how to control it, but its powers are something else, but you'll have to learn about it yourself, oh, if you want, there's still a little time left for me to answer your questions"
As he spoke, god casually waved his hand, with that simple gesture I felt something forming within my soul, as if I had a certain connection with it, as I felt the feeling that it gave me, he continued to speak, so I decided to pay attention to what he said, and soon doubts rose in my mind again, when he said that I could ask questions, I instantly asked a question.
"What do you mean, 'False God of the Bible'? what do you mean by that? Doesn't the god of the bible exist?
With that I said, he soon put his hand on his chin, he took a few minutes as if he thought deeply about the question
"Hmmm, how can I tell you? I can't say something very profound because otherwise I'm going to get into trouble, but if you want to know, is that the God of the Bible really exists, the point is that it's not exactly that god "
With that confused sentence, I couldn't understand anything, but he soon continued
"In short, it's like the biblical God you know from this universe is just an avatar of the 'real' biblical god, he's someone I honestly wouldn't want to mess with, plus all gods from all mythologies, religions and beliefs exist, but they're not exactly the same as how they're portrayed in the DxD universe"
Upon hearing about it, I began to have a better understanding of the multiverse, or at least the gods.
"Ah, my explanation was a little long huh? Come on, you have time for one more question"
As he spoke I noticed that the space around me was collapsing, and that little by little my body was disappearing, so I hurried to ask the only question that came to my mind.
"You, what is your name?"
Upon hearing that, he looked surprised, but he smiled at me, when my consciousness was leaving that place, I heard him subtly say
"Loki... My name is Loki"
After that I didn't hear anything else.
----------End of Flashback-----------------------------
After remembering about it, I tried to feel that feeling in my soul again, and when I tried to put it out, suddenly, something appeared in my hand, an ornate four section-staff with the ends being spikes, Courechouse, Ban's sacred treasure
[Image here]
When I saw it I was quite impressed, but not surprised, I already expected it to have something to do with it, so I didn't care, but for it to be my Sacred Gear, this is something impressive, when I tried to use it a little, I saw that the staff's chains extended, just like what was shown in the manga and anime, this was something that impressed me when I saw the 'real thing', but I didn't know what its abilities were, so I decided to test it when I had the chance
But I soon summoned her back, I didn't want anyone to see this, especially in a bathroom, why didn't I shower in my house? Koneko was there, so I didn't want to wake her up.
The stick had a brownish red color, which I liked a lot, I smiled a little and summoned it again, I needed to get used to the sensation, because if necessary, I would have to summon it very quickly, finishing everything, I left the shower and went towards the school, meanwhile, near the school entrance, I saw Koneko who was restless looking in all directions, soon she saw me walking towards her (in fact he was on his way to school, but Koneko was in the middle)
Suddenly, she ran towards me and immediately hugged me, her face was glued to my navel, all the people around me looked at the situation and were surprised, but I couldn't care, but soon I noticed that my clothes were getting wet, seeing that I was in doubt whether I should console her or pretend I don't know her
"What happened K-Toujou-san, did something happen?"
When she heard my question, Koneko seemed to have come to her senses, and noticed the situation she was in, so she ran at full speed into the school, but meanwhile, I noticed another presence nearby, the being seemed to have a certain murderous intent against me, someone with a stronger aura than Koneko, when I looked in that direction, I just smiled, ignoring the murderous intent I felt at that moment.
'Seriously, I can't understand women'
After this thought, I walked calmly towards the gate, and soon I arrived in front of the gate, where I saw Sona and Tsubaki, I tried to enter silently but my attempt was unsuccessful because I soon felt someone pulling my shirt (with what happened right near the entrance, do you think they wouldn't notice?), I didn't dare to look back, but soon I heard a voice, which was obviously the one who was pulling my shirt
"Hello Ban, how about you join me for a game of chess in the student council?"
I swallowed hard as I said trying not to make the situation worse
"H-Haha, how long has it been Sona-"
After saying that, I couldn't even continue, or even refuse, as I soon found myself being dragged by Sona by force... Isn't she afraid to show her superhuman strength at school? As I thought about that another thought formed in my mind.
'Mental note: Women are scary when they're angry'
(A/N: Even though he's tall, Ban isn't very heavy, he's around 70 Kg if I'm not too mistaken, so he would be easy to carry or drag, but for someone with a body similar to Sona's, just looking at the muscles or whatever, she wouldn't be able to drag him anyway)
Arriving at StudentCo, I was forced to sit in front of Sona, who had a serious look on her face, she soon spoke, while everyone in the council was doing their duties, even Tsubaki was present, she theoretically would have to be in front of the gate, while Sona was with me here
"So Ban…don't you want to tell me why you've been missing these past few days?"
She wore a cold smile, which even an idiot could see as the mood was clearly tense in the room, and after ten minutes, I finally managed to convince her, or almost... after my explanation, Sona let out a sigh.
"Haaa… so you're telling me that you went to visit a friend in Tokyo, and how urgent it was that you didn't notify the school about your absence?"
Hearing her recap my story, I nodded my head several times, Sona didn't seem to believe the story, but she didn't say anything, and just accepted it, because everyone had their secrets... the rest of the student council members started to enter the room, and with that, Sona seemed decided on something, so sitting on the couch, and with a serious face she looked at me, while asking
"Hey Ban… do you believe in the existence of devils?"
After she said that, everyone in the room rolled their eyes at me, I froze, remembering a few things, but it was a quick one as soon as I spoke
"Yes I believe"
This got into Sona's ears, but she said something before she even processed the information.
"I know it's hard to believe, but everyone on the student council is devils- wait... you believe it?!"
Everyone in the room was surprised, but I was the one who spoke first, obviously feigning some surprise so they wouldn't get too suspicious.
"Wait! Are you guys devils?"
Everyone there just after that released their wings at this time, I still pretended to be surprised, but Sona simply asked, again in a serious tone, doubting about something
"Why do you believe in the existence of demons?"
(A/N: Ok i tried to fix some, of the mistakes of talking ' demons' but they are devil, so, i tried to fix, this last chat of Sona... was she talking about demons/devils in general)
------------ Time Skip 15 minutes ---------
(A/N: This conversation will be in Sona's PoV)
As I walked through the corridors, after leaving the StudentCo room, I saw several students at times giving me looks, I found this strange, but I continued my way to the room, I arrived at the exact moment when the teacher was going to start the class, when I entered the classroom, all eyes were on me, I did not understand, but I remained silent
------------ Time Skip --------------
Okay, it's starting to get really weird, during class, even the teachers would give me a few looks and I started to feel weird...
Right when I was about to have the lunch time start, I took a look at Issei and he just made a small gesture that I interpreted as: 'I will pray for you!'
When the halftime bell sounded, at the same moment I was completely surrounded, seriously, what's going on?
All the students in the class started talking at the same time, when I noticed one that opened a specific manga at the end of the chapter, I soon put all the pieces together, my work, it seems, is already successful in Japan, I smiled a little and said to the crowd that surrounded me
"Ahhh! I see... you know, I've been away from Kuoh for 10 days because an old friend asked me to be a model for his work, and apparently I already showed up"
After my comment, everyone had their mouths wide open, probably they thought it was just a coincidence that we looked the same, with everyone frozen, I took this moment to go towards the door of the room and said when I was about to leave
"Maybe another time I'll subscribe to the page for everyone"
So I went to the roof, where it became my favorite place in the school for the peace and silence it provided, I sat on the same bench where I met Koneko for the first time, but today I noticed a presence that has been watching me since I entered the school and this presence was very close now, I took out the utensils and went to roast meat, when it was ready, I felt that she was on my side, I looked towards the direction, and I saw a small creature...
A Black Cat
-----------------------------------------------------------
Hello Everyone, IsekaiFan Here, i was finally able to post a chapter for you guys... and right after that i'll be gone again for a while, cause i'll be traveling again, really... vacations are busy, a lot of people are sad or annoyed that i don't post chapters, but honestly, i'm human too, and i have to spend time with my family, so i'll take a long time to post again, probably next month i'll post again for you guys, oh, and there are some people who don't understand some things i write, and are criticizing or feeling bad if i do something that they don't like it, honestly, I don't give a shit, at any moment I can stop posting this, because it's just a hobby for me, so I will always post when I'm free, about the criticism, people think it's strange that someone aged 17 has a giant beard on their face, I think that's normal, because when I was 15 I started to have a beard, if I didn't cut it, in a year or two I could have a beard the size of Ban, well, oh, and the person still gets the age wrong, saying he has 15 years old, if only she knew the world... and knew that he is 17, which I make clear at the beginning of the fanfic, anyway, this was just for me to vent, so that's it, until next time I hope you like the chapter, the next chapter will finally accomplish what many people have asked me to do...
