……Azazel-sensei, even a bit of word would had been fine. I truly wanted to get an advice from you. ———Am I allowed to become a Harem King? Am I allowed to drown in the sea of breasts? Maybe I need to act while keeping in mind about my surroundings even more in order to become both a professional adult and Devil? ……Hey, Sensei? What would you when you see me now? Such complicated thoughts are going through my head every day lately. And it seems like everyone knows that as well. Perhaps Irina read my mind so she asks me while looking into my face. “It’s been in my mind for a while but it seems like you have mixed feeling about it, don’t you?”
I say it while exaggerating my joy. “W-Well, I am happy about it. I’m super happy and I feel honoured!”
But I tell them my true thoughts. They are my comrade after all. “But……if it looks like I’m having mixed feeling about it from your eyes then I have to say that you are right about it. ……Too many things happened and even if I do understand that with my brain I still find a part of me inside me not accepting the past events. I have a cloudy feeling. It doesn’t feel like it’s happening for real. It feels like I’m experiencing someone else’s life even the part which involves myself.”
Others also put on a complicated look when they listened to my words. Asia got off from her club president’s seat to approach me and then she held my hand. She says it with a smile. “I wouldn’t be able to solve all of Ise-san’s concerns……but I do feel honoured that Ise-san will become a High-class Devil. Therefore, I want to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. ———Congratulation, Ise-san.”
———! ……I became so emotional at Asia’s warm and straightforward word. I hug Asia on the spot! Ah, my Asia-chan makes me feel relieved simply by saying things like this! Yeah, a simple remark of congratulation like this unexpectedly goes into your heart smoothly. While we are doing such, Ravel acts like a good manager and says it in a calm manner. “However, even if it doesn’t feel like reality there will be many kind of people appearing before your eyes. You may feel the sense of being a High-class Devil from such situation. You will most likely become the most anticipated High-class Devil rookie in the whole Underworld.”
Many people will……come before me huh. ……And being anticipated huh. Though that means I will be on alerts of enemies as well……
If there are those that finds it painful in the freedom I seek for then it means there are those that won’t be happy at my promotion. Yeah, it looks like I will be having more troubles. It’s nostalgic when I remember about a year ago when I was aiming to become a Harem King with simply lecherous thought. To myself a year ago: You know that you won’t be going through only fun times to become a High-class Devil? Damn! I simply want to think about breasts! I’m going to jump into Rias’s breast when I get back home! No, it might be a good idea to get spoiled by Akeno-san too! ———Truly, “What does it mean to become a High-class Devil?”! I am currently going through a lot of concern———. It happens then. There’s a sudden knock to the door. Asia answers by saying “Come in”. Who is it? When everyone looks in suspicions———the one who comes in by opening the door is one male student. “Pardon me. Is Kaichou———oh, you are here after all.”
As he says that he breathes out the air from his mouth when he finds Xenovia. He then walks towards Xenovia while leaving sounds in his footstep. “Xenovia-kaichou, you are here. I have completed the report from before so I want you to confirm it.”
The male students who hands out the document to Xenovia. I……think I’ve seen him before. More like he’s quite known among the students. Xenovia responds to the boy in a familiar manner. “Ouryuu. Alright, show me.”
She calls the boy with that name and looks through the documents after receiving it. The boy looks at all of us and looks at the whole room as if it’s a rare sight. Xenovia realise it and then asks him. “Oh, haven’t you introduced yourself to everyone here yet?”
The boy takes a breath again as he smiles. “Yes, and it’s almost about a month since you told me you will introduce me to everyone, Kaichou.”
Xenovia makes a bitter smile. “Sorry, I totally forgot.”
Xenovia makes the boy stand right next to her and introduces him to us. “He’s the secretary of our student council who is a first year and———”
“Nakiri Kouchin Ouryuu is my name. I have heard many rumours about all of you.”
———As such, the first year student called Nakiri Kouchin Ouryuu who is the secretary of the student council introduces himself to us. We already knew his name when the members of the new student council were announced and I also saw this boy when Xenovia was walking through the corridor while having the new members of the student council walk behind her. The name and the face matches. ……Though there was a part of his name I didn’t know about……
“It sure is a long name.”
I couldn’t help myself but say that. Nakiri gives me a brief explanation. “Kouchin is my posthumous name. It’s basically like a middle name. So just Nakiri Ouryuu is fine.”
Ah, I think I heard people from old times using such name. Ravel and Gasper who are also first year responds to Nakiri’s entrance. “It’s rare to meet you here.”
“Hello, Nakiri-kun.”
Nakiri also responds to them by raising his hand. “Yo, the usual trio.”
Ah, so he knows them. There’s a connection among the first years that I don’t know about. “……Kohchin, are you working?”
Koneko-chan asks while eating the stick like sweat. “Yeah, I have business with President. Also, please stop calling me that name with that intonation…… I hate it because it sounds like Nagoya Kohchin.”
Nakiri says it while acting a bit depressed. ……So he has the nickname called Kohchin huh. Well, it’s a bombastic name but his middle name really has a bell to it which is easy to make a nickname for him. Asia and Irina also responds to Nakiri. “Nakiri……wasn’t it one of the five clans?”
“It’s the leading clan, wasn’t it? On top of that his name is “Ouryuu” which is the same name is the Spiritual Beast which represents the Nakiri clan……”
Nakiri nods. “Yes, I’m the heir of the Nakiri clan. Currently, that is. ……Well, four years ago the previous “Ouryuu” caused trouble with the Hakuryuukou and Ikuse Tobio-san……”
The heir!? T-This guy!? The heir of Nakiri clan which is the leading clan of the five clans…… Man, I did think that he has a special position among the Nakiri clan but who would have ever thought he would be the heir…… I sure do encounter many heirs of a noted family……
And did something happen to the previous “Ouryuu” four years ago? Hmm, I’m really intrigued by it. I might ask Vali next time. Four years ago is when Vali met Tobio-san and back then I heard the Grigori as well as the groups full of special power users were in quite a mess. Xenovia is crossing her arm and is nodding. “Ouryuu is quite amazing.
