That has to be it. A Devil I tell ya. So they will be scary. For a few minutes, Akeno-san’s lightning attacks continues. After Akeno-san calms down, Buchou confirms it and nods her head. Buchou approaches the monster that has already lost its will to fight. Buchou put her hand towards the monster. “Any last words?”
Buchou asks. “Kill me.”
That’s the only thing the monster says. “Then disappear.”
A cruel reply. Buchou’s voice gave me the chills. DON! A gigantic black mass of demonic-power is shot out from Buchou’s palm. It’s so big that it can cover all of the monster’s body. The mass of demonic-power devours the monster’s body. When the demonic-power disappears, so did the monster’s body. Just like Buchou said, it disappeared. Confirming that, Buchou makes a sigh. “It’s over. Good work everyone.”
Buchou says it to the club members. Everyone returns back to their usual self. So the “Stray Devil” hunt is over, huh? The fate for the Stray Devils. I don’t know what to say. That thing also left its master’s side because it had something in its mind……
So this is the battle of a Devil…… It was a fierce fight. Along with the Stray Devils, there are still many things in this world I am unfamiliar with. So I have to aim up high from here……
Maybe I have to think in decades. Then I remembered the problem. The thing about position of Evil Pieces from earlier. Since I’m a servant of a Devil with peerage, then I should have a certain [Piece] too. “Buchou, there is still a thing that you didn’t tell me.”
“What is it?”
Buchou responds with a smile. “My Piece……more like, what is my role as a servant.”
To tell you the truth, I already predicted the worst case. More like I knew it isthat. But I still have a naive hope. There are two [Pieces] left since, Akeno-san is a [Queen], Koneko-chan is a [Rook], and Kiba is a [Knight]. The [Bishop] and……the [Pawn]. I was hoping for it, but it gets shattered instantly. The crimson-hair beauty smiles at me and says it clearly. “You are a [Pawn]. Ise, you are a Pawn.”
I’m the lowest. “Haa…… The road to achieving a successful career sure is hard.”
I’m in my room looking at the ceiling and making a fuss. Pawn—. That’s my trait and role. A Pawn, that’s the lowest role. So I have to aim up from there…… My road to getting a peerage starts by getting onto a rough road. My road to become a proper Devil is full of troubles. By the way, there is someone else who is Buchou’s [Bishop]. She told me this on the same day when I found out my role as a servant. “My [Bishop] already exists. But that [Bishop] is not here. The [Bishop] is at a different place, following a different order, working for me. If there is a chance, then I will introduce the [Bishop] to you.”
That’s what she said. Who is that person? Maybe I could meet that person soon. I hope it’s a girl. So I was chosen as the left over [Pawn]. I have many difficulties to overcome. When I think about it, was I actually okay with this? I was killed by a Fallen Angel because of the Kamehameha equipping device, the Sacred Gear. She also used my feelings of love. Then after that, I was turned into a Devil. I was picked up by a beautiful Devil who said to me that I was her “Servant” and then was deceived that “I can make my own harem if I rise up”. I work my butt off every day as Buchou’s servant. Handing out leaflets. And making contracts. But my demonic-power is low, so I can’t use the magic-circle to get teleported to the client’s place. Something like this has never happened before, the worst Devil ever. That’s me. BREATHES IN. I inhaled some air. If I think about it, I never had any special features even before I turned into a Devil. I tried a lot of things to become popular with the girls, but after all, I can’t win against good looking guys. I also didn’t have any dreams before I turned into a Devil. Well, maybe that’s a good thing that I turned into a Devil because I have a dream now. Wait, is turning into a Devil even a good thing? Well, if I haven’t been saved by Buchou back then, my life would have been over. Just like this, I don’t have time to enjoy my youth. Well it’s kinda……fun. I’m surrounded by a bunch of bishojous and everyone is kind. Well, for a Devil, that is. Rias-buchou is beautiful, and Akeno-san is okay as long as I don’t piss her off……I think. Koneko-chan also isn’t a problem as long as I act normal. Kiba pisses me off, but he talks to me normally even though he’s a good-looking guy...... He’s actually a good guy. Damn good-looking guy. You really can’t judge people by their appearance. Looks like my imagination of a good looking guy is changing. Then I remembered about the beautiful blonde Sister, Asia. She was a beautiful girl. If I was to have a girlfriend……I stop there and covered my face. Wait, I just went through that rough unrequited love. Damn it, playing with my feelings…… Yuuma-chan, I actually loved you. Shit. Why is my life always controlled by someone else? Maybe that's how life works. A lot of mysterious things happen around me, so I have a feeling that I was dragged into it. Asia……Sister huh. The person who is standing on the opposite side of me. I probably won’t meet her ever again. That girl will walk her own path, and I will walk my own path. We just happen to be the servant of a Devil and the servant of God. We just met by chance. We probably shouldn’t see each other again. It might lead us to an unfortunate destiny. Just like that, I’m thinking something cool. “Aaaah, yes, yes, I’m just a weak [Pawn]. There’s nothing good about me, so can I even get a peerage……? How about it, Maou-sama? Well, it’s probably useless discussing this with the Maou-sama, anyways.”
I laugh bitterly at myself. I’m going to have a goal. That’s it. First of all, my goal will be to use the magic-circle to get transported. This will be my first step. Yeah, this is it. Yup! I’m getting fired up. Sobbing time is over. I’ve turned into a Devil. That can’t be changed. Then I will have to live on as a Devil. And I will make my dream come true as a Devil. Even if I can’t, working hard to achieve it will be my life goal. Yeah! I can do it! I’m going to do it! It’s late it night, and I’m on my bicycle heading towards a particular house. Not a mansion or an apartment, but just an ordinary house. It’s my first time, so what shall I do? Since the client isn’t living alone, won’t the client’s family see me? After all, I actually have to visit the house to make a contract. I was told before that ordinary human can’t detect me, but does it apply to this situation as well? I’m worried but I realise it when I'm about to push the bell. The entrance door is open. ……Seriously, leaving the door open in the middle of the night. HEARTBEAT
I suddenly felt uneasy. What is this? I have a really bad feeling. But I’m already walking into house. I look inside from the entrance. There are no lights in the hallway. There is a staircase that led to the second floor, but there are no lights on.
