Certainly, my parents didn’t get mad when I come home late after finishing my work. They just say “Welcome home”. Hmm, Buchou’s demonic-power is amazing. Speaking about amazing, I was really amazed how much authority Buchou have in the academy. The academy we go to is Buchou’s territory. That’s why she is like the controller of the academy behind the scene. It seems like the person in the highest position in our academy have ties with the Devils and therefore can’t oppose the people from the House of Gremory. In other words, the academy is basically Buchou’s personal belonging. That’s also the reason why we are able to enter the school at night. And now back to my current work. Every day, I go around on my bicycle, posting a leaflet which can summon Rias Gremory’s group inside the mailboxes by using a mysterious device. It seems like the device I’m holding onto is a secret machine developed by the technology of the Devils. It has a shape of those current portable game devices. There’s a screen, and it has buttons. It’s a touch-pen type device. So it comes with a touch-pen. And I’m using the device the way I was told to. The monitor displays the map of the town I live in, – Buchou’s territory. Each Devil is given a certain territory in the human world, and they can only do their job within their territory. Our job— in other words, we get summoned, we then make contract, and then we grant their wish. As a price, we receive an award fitting for the particular wish they make. It can be money, an object, and at times even their life. Well, it seems like there aren’t any contractors who will go far to use their life to make a wish. Even if there was a person like that, it usually gets cancelled since the price doesn’t match up with their wish. According to Buchou, “People’s values aren’t equal”. Yup, it’s harsh. And the light flashing on the monitor shows the houses where people with a lot of greed live. So I go to these areas to hand out the leaflet which comes with a magic-circle. As long as there are lights flashing on the monitor, my work isn’t finished. Because I turned into a Devil, other people and even the police don’t pay attention to me. Since I’m already active as a Devil, humans don’t realise my presence when I’m working. I have been pedalling my bicycle every day, but the light displayed on the monitor never disappears. That’s how much humans are being with strong greed. Once you make a wish, it apparently becomes an addiction to keep on wishing for other ones. Making a contract is basically limited to occur at night. That’s because Devils are only allowed to work at night. The daytime is a time for the Angels and God. That is the part that I still don’t understand. The leaflets can only be used once, so once they use it, then I will have to hand it out again. In other words, my work will last forever. Well, thanks to that, Rias-buchou and the others can continue to be active and we never run out of jobs. So we are certainly increasing our point as being a Devil. It seems like we get acknowledged by the King of Devils if we keep on making contracts and granting the wish of a human. I see. So if I continue working like this, then I will be able to receive a peerage from the King! So it’s better to take on bigger jobs. I want it! I also want to make a contract! “Uoooooooooooooooooooh! I want to be surrounded by girls soon as I caaaaan!”
But right now, I have to be patient and keep on doing these simple tasks! But how long do I have to continue doing this……
On a certain day, after school. I went towards the old school building after splitting apart from my two mates. To begin with, it seems like my job of handing out the leaflets was originally a job assigned to Buchou’s familiar. Senpai changes the forms of the mouse and the bat that she owns into a form of a human, and makes them hand out the leaflets like I did. She says they do this, both day and night. The reason why I was assigned to do it was because Buchou wanted me to know what kind of job Devils have to do from the beginning. This is something Kiba and the others did as well. Kiba, Toujou Koneko-chan, Himejima-senpai are all Servant Devils of Rias-buchou. So they are my senior. So they all have experience in doing the work I did. So each person has a history of doing it. Ah, they aren’t persons but Devils. It may not be important, but I got an approval from Toujou Koneko-chan and Himejima-senpai to call them “Koneko-chan” and “Akeno-san” respectively. Looks like I got one step closer to getting along with them. Fufufu, I called them by their name in front of Matsuda and Motohama on purpose. The expression on their faces was the best. I haven’t told Motohama and Matsuda about me. They won’t believe me even if I did, and I also think it will be really dangerous for them to step foot into this world. I also did die once, so I can’t drag them into this. By the way, I still call Kiba, Kiba. Die, handsome. I will never call you “Kiba-kun”! And so, today, I was called over to the clubroom. I went inside the old building that I’m getting familiar with and head towards the room on the second floor. “I’m coming in.”
When I went inside after saying that, everyone is already there. Oh, am I the last one? The room is dark and the window is covered to block the light from entering. The only light in the room is from the candles spread variously on the floor. “So you came.”
As soon as Buchou confirms that I’m here, she gives an order to Akeno-san. “Yes, Buchou. Ise-kun, please come to the centre of the magic-circle.”
Akeno-san tells me to come by using her hand. A beauty is waving her hand at me! Thank you very much! That alone is a reward for me. I walked to the centre of the circle. So what now? “Ise, your work of giving out the leaflets is over. Well done.”
Buchou is smiling. I see, so I’m done with handing out leaflets. “Now I will have you do the actual job of a Devil.”
“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 tworeservation contractswith Koneko. Since it’s hard to do both, I will leave one to you.”
“……Please help me out.”
Koneko-chan bows her head. So I’m going on behalf of Koneko-chan. That’s okay. I was getting tired of handing out the leaflets. Unexpectedly, peddling a bicycle every night and handing out the leaflets made me lonely. The other members are outside the circle. Akeno-san who is inside the circle is casting something. Then, the magic-circle starts emitting blue and white lights. “U-Umm……”
“Keep quiet, Ise. Akeno is currently inserting your carved seal into the magic-circle.”
Buchou says. My carved seal? It seems like the magic-circle inside this room represents the “Gremory”. I was told that for us, Servant Devils of Buchou, it’s something like a family crest.
