Should i just leave and report it to Rias or maybe the client is still alive let's use touki i tensed at what i sensed two auras one kinda felt familiar and the other has a more evil aura than Raynare another fallen is my guess and sadly i didn't sense my client aura so they are responsible for that or maybe it's a kidnapping but why is the other person aura seem familiar is still baffling me luckily he is waiting outside but let's just report this to Rias and she will know what to do .
i began conjuring the teleportation then a bullet shot from the other room i guess he stopped hiding i parred the shot out of instinct by moving right and luckily i did it wasn't a normal bullet as i felt a sense of danger from it this is definitely the work of someone from the supernatural i really need to train my senses and reaction too and that touki mod might be my next training focus .
It didn't hit me but still obscured my teleportation circle and then the door of the room opened completely and what came out was a man with white hair more like silver and red eyes donning a cleric outfit with a sword helt only a hilt strapped into his waist and holding a weird looking silver pistol in his left hand with his right hand he was pulling a bloodied CORPSE that was wearing a police officer uniform .
He walked out of the room and began to walk toward me with confidence and menacing smile and throw the corpse at my feet and introduced himself : I'm Freed Sellzen and i belong to a certain Exorcism organization , Ah and just because I introduced myself doesn't mean you have to introduce yourself as well you see I don't want to remember your name in my memory it's pointless as you are going to die soon just like this one don't worry devil it will hurt at first but you will feel better after it you all do , I'm really going to enjoy this .
I looked around me as if i'm looking for something or someone , is he taking to me why he is taking about death like i'm begging him to kill me is he a pervert of some sort and what kind of exorcist is he he have a dark aura denser than a fallen angel and while looking around saw a picture on the wall that stunned me as i forgot about Freed and focused at the picture of a family of three two parents with a kindergarten kid the father in the picture was officer Takumi and that what rooted me to the ground .
I began to weakly approach the deceased person beside me and it really was mr Takumi cold corpse oh was he a regular contractor he really deserve what happened to him he kept saying he didn't know what am i taking about but i guess he is dead and also a lier came the voice of that Freed Sellzen while smiling as if he is enjoying this .
I was trying to keep my cool but i kinda keep reminiscating about our interactions in the past few days and remembered he took the suspicious flyer as he called it just because i was the one distributing and he always answered other people plead with a smile on his face now this kind man is a cold corpse because of me how can i keep my cool damn it .
Oh you really are acquaintances so were you the one that gave him this flyer said the exorcist while a flyer appeared in his but if the flyer is still like this then how did i get summoned the answer came when Freed continued to say : i was here for the little kid he was the one summoning you but i was pleasantly surprised at the flyer in his father pocket after killing the whole family shame his mother was somehow decent looking .
I said while sighing about the unfortunate incident of the Takumi's family : You killed a whole family of normal humans with children just because they were making harmless contracts with the devils you even killed a kindergarten kid out of what your religious beliefs or something .
Religious beliefs what a load of crap do you think i believe in something like that i just hate devils and those associated with them and enjoy hunting them and i guess today was really my lucky day i even got a beautiful assistant now enough chatting you have a long journey a head of you after all he said and pulled another pistol and began shooting at me
But don't know if i'm imagining it but my focused mode work more in sync with my body now i can see the light bullets trajectories and even evade them flawlessly is it because that touki mode from yesterday i wonder what the consequences if killing this exorcist yes i'm already lost my cool i'm now enraged and want justice for mr Takumi and his family .
Seeing his bullets useless he threw them in the air and equipped the sword helt if i wasn't enraged i would make a few comments on it but now is not the time he didn't say anything but just dashed at me in inhuman speed still moving in a normal speed in my eyes with only the hilt as he thrusted it at my chest .
Normally i would be cautious enough to move out of its way but as i decided to pay it no mind and just strike him back in my anger a reckless move nonetheless but i can't calm my anger as the body on the ground kept reminding me of what that sick exorcist did so i will punish him for what he did using my new full force as i willed my sacred gear to appear and to activate as i heard boost in my mind and felt the powerful rush of increased strength and i punched the dirt bag in front of me with all of my strength that cyan fist appeared once again .
Then came our clash my fist reached him first and blasted him don't know but i felt some of my punch momentum disappeared the moment it touched his skin but still sent him flying through the house and off and felt some aching in my chest area as i again regained my clarity and looked at the aching place and yeah i guess i'm paying the price for my earlier reckless understatement a sword wound appeared on my chest luckily it wasn't deep but unfortunately it was with that weird sword of his i began to feel uncomfortable from the stinging pain and urged my touki in try of healing it and it didn't work it only alleviated the pain .
Ooh , you surprised me there i thought you would have accepted your fate more easily than this but it was a good move i would almost have died if it weren't for that magical armor i looted from one of your kind how do you like my light sword taste it has a lasting and severe effect on you as you already feeling , the wicked exorcist said dyed in blood and filled with injuries yet still confident where is his confidence coming from but the sword in his hand wasn't there before is that the light sword he was babbling about .
Hey sister Asia forget the barrier and heal me already Freed yelled in some direction .
So they already sat a barrier wait did he just said Asia it must be a coincidence right, right?
Coming , mr Freed what happened to yo , Tetsya what are you doing here what is going on why is there a dead man here ? came the familiar pure hearted voice i guess now i understand why the aura felt familiar she is really that sister Asia Argento that i have met before she is working with that sick exorcist but from her expressions she looks oblivious about that exorcist actions .
Oh , mr devil here sure is popular you are even associated with the holy maiden of the church heal me already so i can kill this filthy devil and we can have some fun after .
I'm still shocked at Asia appearing here but i heard her reprimanding Freed saying with a strange resolve : does the church know of you doing this mr Freed we were sent her to only investigate the disappearances of some of the church devotees and Tetsya is kind and even helped me to reach the church why would you want to kill him even if he is a devil he is still a good person .
You are hurt Tetsya don't worry i will help you right away she said then appeared beside me who was still stunned and her hands began to shine just like in the afternoon and the stinging pain disappeared almost instantly she then began to move to an enraged and injured Freed Sellzen i woke up from my trance and tried to stop here but she only said sadly i appreciate your worry Tetsya but this is my job and walked toward the exorcist .
I don't understand why my heartached at her sad expression but i need to focus on the matter at hand i need to catch Freed and let the president know of his actions .
As Asia reached the injured Freed and healed him i saw his eyes darkened and guessed it must have been Asia prioritizing healing me a devil before him he began saying after being fully healed : do you understand what you just did slut healing a devil and you still claim you are one of god devotees i will kill you myself after i kill him better yet i will rape you in front of him then kill both of you come here , and with the light weapon he slashed at her precisely to only split her attire in half even her undies weren't spared as he wanted her to be vulnerable as Asia screamed and sat on the ground trying to cover herself up with Freed raising and readying himself to molest her the barrier is now down so i called The president for backup and appeared swiftly between him and Asia while gritting my teeth and again punched him in the face without any touki but still sent him flying inside the house again then casted a restoration spell and fixed her attire while calmly patting the sobbing Asia and saying it's okey now .
Asia raised her head and looked at her attire now back to normal and hugged me and cried even harder i hugged her back in response and kept trying to calm her as she finally calmed down and said : you are really kind Tetsya the most kinded person that i have ever met .
He is but he is the most reckless as well came the voice of my crimson king Rias Gremory , what happened Tetsya it was a simple contract how i came to find you holding a nun . Rias said reprimanding me
And i felt heat on my chest i looked down and found Asia Argento completely red with smoke coming from her head then she broke the hug and i began to tell Rias about today's events with Asia also listening tentatively and at the end she began crying again and blaming herself for their deaths i myself began to contemplate if my own bad luck is what led this to happen .
I felt a tug at my shirt and found Asia asking : who is that ? I looked at Rias who heard Asia inquire and introduced herself by saying : i'm Rias Gremory a devil and Tetsya's master and you are ? while coming closer to Asia and me .
Asia hid behind me and said in a whispering like voice : nice to meet you my name is Asia Argento i'm Tetsya's friend and i'm a nun at Kouh church she hesitated at the friend part a pit but continued as i assured her by holding her hands .
And with that the introductions were done but the three of us stayed in an awkward silence but then i asked Rias if she sensed Freed and she said he escaped the moment he felt her arrival i then thanked her for her timely arrival and then asked Asia what is she going to do and if she wanted to come with us she politely refused not because we are devils but that is she still needed at the church and that not all the people are like Freed i offered to take her to the church but she still refused i asked if she is going to be okay and she nodded i again told her to ask for my help if she ever needed it and after saying goodbye to her we teleported back to the club while she was looking at me recluantly .
We appeared at the club and i already anticipated another punishment but again got a kiss on the cheek and the president said : was the deceased someone you know ?
I nodded and told her about my previous interaction with officer Takumi .
Sometimes , letting go is the most correct thing to do Tetsya i know you think that you are the reason for this happening but ask yourself if you weren't there would the outcome change and always remember you have us now in this club we are watching each other backs so if you ever have anything that burden you you can always count on us to help you with it , i will ask the student council president to give you tomorrow as a day off your weekend didn't end well take care of yourself and try not to fall in troubles for at least some time , said the blushing president with a serious tone .
I bowed again in gratitude this time and began to head home feeling the need to calmly think about the things that happened through and craving for a good sleep as well .
The next day i dreamt of the same dream again but this time the dragon said it will see me soon i seriously hope not my life is already in shambles i woke up and the memories from yesterday came back to me as i find myself remembering Koneko shuddering at the fate of the stray devils and then the Takumi's family unfortunate demise and the my first encounter with a sick pervert exorcist that left me feeling that being a devil is really a privilege , i guess my strength did increase but it's still not enough i'm struggling in the normal world what will happen to me in the underworld where the powerful entities is everywhere .
A normal day off is all what i'm asking let's start with the usual the feeling from the sacred gear is really addictive but if i wanted to use it efficiently i will need to keep increasing my base strength i had grasped some demonic power uses and quite the number of spells but didn't have any chance to use them as the situations i found myself in these days was always unpredictable but maybe i will teleport to somewhere to test them after i got the permission of the president ofcourse .
I began jogging in my sportwear while lamenting on the absence of any news related to the Takumi's family other than a few rumors from their neighbors some said they left the country and others said they were relocated by the government i guess it's better this way i also massaged Issei and asked if he arrived but didn't get any reply .
I reached the park and it was less crowded than most of the days this day keep getting better and better i began jogging for almost one hour and a half only stopped due to seeing a familiar face sitting on a bench quietly looking at the sky as if wishing for something or prying yes the familiar face was the tired looking Asia Argento i ended my jogging found a hidden spot then with a transformation spell changed to a casual wear then headed straight to her .
I approached and began saying : hey good morning Asia hope you are doing okay ? mind if i set with you ?
I can tell she was momentarily surprised but a pleasant surprise as i can tell from the sincere smile that appeared on her face and said : Oh good morning Tetsya i'm fine now ,Tetsya i didn't expect to see you here you are more than welcome to set here but don't you suppose to be on school ?
I said : i took a day off don't worry is everything okay within the church ?
After i said this i felt a shift in the air around us as if my question reminded her of something she didn't seem to remember .
Yeah everything is ok i just wanted to use some time to experience the daily life in Kouh town a little bit of sightseeing she said hurriedly as if trying to change the subject .
Mind if i tag along i'm trying to enjoy this day as well and i'm also new to town oh do you like video games ? I asked enthusiastically .
Asia : Sure thing Tetsya i didn't try them before , where should we go first , Tetsya?
Did you have breakfast yet let's go to a fancy restaurant i saw some in the road that i wanted to try i said and began to stand up but she was still sitting there contemplating about something while looking at her clothes .
I reached and took her hand with mine and looked at her in the eyes and said : i can change them if you want to but if that attire made you comfortable i see no reason to change it let's go .
She nodded and stood up still holding hands we began our day with a breakfast in a fancy restaurant at least her appetite isn't affected by her mood swings then i paid the bill and i was thinking going to the mall would be our next step we almost entered every section and we bought a lot of souvenirs and even got here a present that she liked a stuffed bear that have a cross on his neck then visited the arcade but Asia didn't like video games after all or maybe because the arcade was crowded then continued our adventure by asking other people about their favorite places and these places directions and finally ended our adventure near an abandoned love fountain don't know why it's abandoned it looked good to me .
We sat at a bench close to each other and then i began to say : I hope you enjoyed our voyage Asia .
Thank you Tetsya , this is the best day in my life if i die after this i won't feel bad at all said a shy but content Asia .
Why do you mention death don't you want us to going on adventurous like today and Could you tell me more about how and why did you join the church ? I asked trying to understand her current situation and maybe finding what kind of problems she is currently in .
I really wanted to help her out and she began saying she was abandoned by her mother in front of a church as an infant and was raised there. Sometime, during her childhood, she had awakened her sacred gear Twilight Healing which was witnessed by one of the Catholic Church's officials causing her to become venerated as the Holy Maiden then the story began to get a dark turn as an accident reversed her life upside down she healed a devil which labeled her as a witch by most of those who know about it and even begun to ask for her to be thrown out of the church and finally she came here asking for a new beginning or at least anything similar she ended up sobbing as i patted her and told her not to worry about it .
So for just healing a devil she almost got excommunicated from the church and how did an injured devil ended up in there in the first place i find this whole situation suspicious so there's nothing i can do maybe i will tell her how i became a devil maybe it will cheer her up or won't i guess we will see so i told her my story up until now but didn't mention the moving from place to place part and at least she found some of the moments amusing as she began to be cheerful all of a sudden and she also marveled at how a simple coincidence made that kind of impact on the life of more than one person .
What is that familier disgusting aura i flared my touki and it's Raynare alright
Your story is really interesting Tetsya but i don't seem to see why are you such a freak but don't worry i will find out later now let's get going Asia Raynare said while Asia began to move to her but before she left she told me while holding her tears : sorry Tetsya i guess one adventure like this one is the limit for me . Then they both vanished all of this happened in seconds and i was still stunned at the curse that kept stinging my heart for years
a freak was that all i was the entire time even for Rias and the others as well ...
