Chapter 9

As the cleric swung his lightsword at me, I caught it with one hand. But as my hand held onto the sword, it left a weird sensation, as it felt tingly and warm.

The cleric made a che sound as he saw my hand holding onto his sword as he raised his left arm with the gun as he pointed at me, I quickly grabbed the gun in his hand as we wrestled for control.

I quickly overpowered him due to my superhuman abilities, as the cleric was struggling with my strength, I headbutted him as he stumbled a few steps, but didn't release his hold over his weapons. Seeing this opportunity as he was still fumbling with his steps. I kicked him in the sides using my right leg, with little force as possible, but enough to break a bone or two.

Since, my full force in mighty form equals 3 tons. It would kill the cleric on the spot, after all, the cleric's only human. As the cleric's hold over his weapons were released. The cleric shot off into the wall as he went crashing through the wall which shot smoke into the air.

I put my leg down as I looked at Issei whose face was full of disbelief as I easily took the cleric on. I then looked at the nun as she was still shocked by my appearance. But she soon gained her bearings as she remembered the state of her clothes, as her face turned red as she put both her arms up to hide her chest.

Seeing that both of them were still ok, I turned my attention towards the direction the cleric was shot in, once the smoke settled all the remained was a big hole that led to another room. I could hear the grunts of pain, as I could see him slowly come out of the hole. The sides of his mouth had blood on it, while he held onto the side I kicked him on.

"YOU FUCKING SHITTY BUG, LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO THE GOD KNOWN AS FREED SELLZEN!!" The cleric now known as Freed yelled out furiously.

"Sorry, i'm a nonbeliever." I said as I slowly approached him. Seeing me approaching him, Freed quickly reached into his coat, using his arm that wasn't clutching onto his side as he pulled out another lightsword, as he waved it in front of him.

"You want to compare sticks?" I asked, as Freed showed a hint of confusion. "You shouldn't show off your stick when it's smaller than the average" I said as I was about to change forms. A magic circle appeared next to Issei before three people popped up as the magic circle disappeared. Leaving Akeno, Koneko, and Kiba standing where the magic circle was.

Issei who saw them exclaimed out loud "Everyone!" as the three turned to face him. "Just leave everything to us" Akeno said but before momentarily adding "That includes you too Kuuga."

With a nod towards her, I walked to the sides where it wouldn't interrupt their battle.

Freed, seeing that I wouldn't interfere with anything decided to attack the devils while saying "Greetings devil group." as he did a horizontal slash towards one of them. Only to get blocked by Kiba who also wielded his sword with one hand.

"Attacking just like that. That's so ungentle-manly, you'll be disliked by the ladies" Kiba commented

Freed who acted like the battle with Kuuga never happened but still clutched onto his side with one hand said "Ah? Do I have to introduce myself again? So disgusting. Just ask Kuuga or that wavering devil over there, since he's going to die soon, so please do it earlier." with his tongue sticking out, as they both retreat a few feet from each other.

"Sorry, I cannot let you kill Hyoudou-kun in a place like this." as Kiba dashed towards him as he swung his sword diagonally with his left hand attempting to hit Freed who jumped backwards using a foot. "That's really hot! So what is you two's relationship!? Which one is the pitcher and which one is the catcher?" Freed asked as Kiba's right hand was clutched as it manifested another sword.

"What a vulgar mouth you have, are you a stray exorcist? " Kiba asked as he got into a combat stance with his two swords.

"Sorry about being vulgar! So what if i'm a stray? But if I can kill you under the protection of fallen angel-sama then i'll be satisfied!" Freed exclaimed with his eyes widened and his tongue out, straight and disgusting.

"Over zeal in hunting devils and the excitement cause the excommunication of stray exorcists. He seems to be the type that's most harmful to us..." Akeno remarks. "There is no point to talk about the reason with you group of bloodsucking shit bugs." Freed comments as he picks his ear with his pinky

"Even if we're devils, we still have rules" Akeno says as she looks at Freed with killing intent.

"HYU! That's right! ~ That's right! Onee-san's stare! What a killing intent, it's soo good to be alive! AHH ~ I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! IT IS GETTING HARD BETWEEN MY LEGS!" Freed exclaims out loud and perversely as he clutches both sides of his face with both hands.

'What has happened to humans that they're so weird and perverted' I thought as I heard a voice that wasn't the three that came here nor Issei or the nun. "... Well, shall I turn you to ashes then?" a feminine voice asks as we hear footsteps, as we all turn our heads that direction revealing Rias, who walked near Kiba.

Freed who saw her, stopped his perverse act as he looked at her as he put his hands down. "One right after another." Freed says as he continues on "I'll kill all of you, can all of you line up in order?" Freed asks.

Rias ignores him as she continues walking until she reached the still on the ground Issei as she kneels on the ground beside Issei as she asks "I'm sorry Issei, I didn't count on an exorcist to show up in the home of the summoner." she says before adding on "Issei, are you hurt?" she asks concerned.

"Sorry... I got shot." Issei says apologetically, Rias who heard this said coldy "Seems like my underling was under your care?" as Rias got back up as she looked at Freed with one hand on her hip and the other laying by her side.

"Yes, I really took care of him. At first I planned to slice and dice him before Kuuga, and a group of devils showed up." Freed said but right after he said that a black and red ball flew past him and into the wall next to him leaving a hole as it continued leaving a trail on the ground and another hole into the wall that surrounded the house. Freed deadpanned before saying "Oh."

"For me, I can't allow anyone to cause harm to my properties, especially a vulgar person like you." Rias said with her palm still facing Freed's direction in case he did anything, while Freed looked at the destruction caused by Rias.

'She gets mad when I say they're basically slaves, but still calls them property... So hypocritical' I thought to myself. 'What's next? She's a spoiled princesses or something similar to that regard?' as I thought there was a shout.

"Buchou!" Akeno shouted, "A group of what looks like fallen angels are approaching! If this continues this'll be our disadvantage..." Freed who heard this was still looking out where Rias had shot, but he had a smug look on his face while Rias's was grim.

Coming to a decision Rias says her orders, "... Akeno retrieve Issei. We're going, get the transportation ready!"

"Yes!" Akeno responds, "Buchou! Let's take this girl back with us!" Issei says as he puts his blazer over the nun.

"That's not possible, only my underling devils can use this pentagram." Rias says as she crosses her arms. "N-No way... I... can't just leave her behind." Issei says pleadingly. 'And there's the boy from back when he saved those two women' I thought 'Might as well help, that's what I was here for anyway' I came to my decision.

"Don't worry kid, i'll protect her for you." I said to him, when Issei heard that he practically beamed with hope but then confusion as he said "How will I find you though?"

"You already know who I am." when I said that everybody was shocked besides the Freed and the nun. But then confusion hit Issei again as he asked "Do I?" I replied "You do, you just don't know it yet."

"Rias! The preparation is complete!" Akeno said. Rias who heard this had no time to ponder who interacted with Issei, as they all went towards the magic circle.

Freed who saw this dashed towards them while saying "I won't let you escape!" only to get intercepted by me as I gave him another kick only this time to the head to knock him out. Rias and her peerage gave their thanks as they got into the magic circle, but not before Issei says "I'll come and see you soon Asia."

"I'll be waiting Issei-san" the nun says, which are the first words I hear from her and they're Italian... Good thing I visited the library and studied the world and learned of its entirety, which courtesy of the Arcle and the Amadam powering it, that enhanced my body and its entirety. Allowing me to learn super quick, which included the language of Italian.

As Rias and her group disappeared, I turned my attention from where they had been to the nun known as Asia, or how she was referred to by Issei, as I asked her "Ready to go?" to which she nodded.

I picked her up bridal style, ignoring her shocked and shy reaction, which I gotta say holy shit that is cute. I ran off through the hole Rias made traveling at a full speed of 100m/5.2s. Which is pretty fast, but for the fallen angels, they were slowly catching up. So I had to change from Mighty to Dragon form. Asia was shocked by my color change and the fact I went even faster than before. My full speed in Dragon form is 100m/2s that's 50 meters in one second.

In Mighty form I could travel 19.2 meters per second, it's a big increase. I could tell that the fallen angels were going further and further away with each second. Once they were officially gone from my senses, I made sure to run a bit farther and hid into an alleyway that were pretty close to each other, so if you were going fast from the top, you wouldn't even notice it.

Once I made sure the coast was clear, I de-henshined revealing what was underneath the armor. Asia who saw me was very shocked either to how handsome I was or that I was actually human. Hopefully it was the first one, I don't want to be thought of as an alien or anything.

"Now, i'm going to rent a room from a hotel for you." I said to her gently hoping she wouldn't be scared of me. I could see her meekly nod, seeing that she agreed I was about to walk out of the alleyway with her until she spoke up "Ano... could you let me down?" she meekly said as her face flushed.

"Of course" I said as I slowly let her down, as we head out of the alleyway and towards the nearest hotel.

Once we got there, I realized she'll need supplies, like food, water, clothes, and etc. I paid for her room and told her to wait in there as I went back out to buy her stuff. Hopefully I could find these things this late in the night.

The food and water were easily obtainable, but the clothes... While I did find some stores that were open, this late at night for god knows why. I got some stares my way that were either predatory, lustful, disdainful, or pure disgust. I got some questions for my phone number and why I was here.

So I just told them a random phone number and decided to tease them by saying suavely "Why do you think i'm here?" as I cupped one of the girls cheeks, which basically set off a bomb in that store. But then I said I said I had to buy my older cousin some clothes because she was out drinking with coworkers, and she spilled it all over herself and decided to ask me to buy her some clothes. Which got some appreciation from those who looked disdainfully or disgust at me.

Once I purchased the clothes, I ran into another problem...

Undergarments, I realized this would be a very big issue. What would they say about the guardian of humans, who was walking into a lingerie store to buy girls underwear!? I would be labeled a pervert like the trio at school, beaten by women everywhere I go! They would whisper to each other behind my back, plotting to beat me up when the moment was right. So I decided to do what any other man would do in this situation.

As shamefully as I would admit, I decided to cross-dress... I let my hair fall down, as it reached all the way to my shoulders, my body was already slender and my skin was quite white. So I could kind of pass off as a woman. But I had to dress like a woman, so I decided to wear one of the clothes I bought for Asia, which I thought she would wear the least out of all of them. I also decided to wear one of the sandals I bought for her. I was going to go to the store, but then I realized if I was going to buy the right bra for her, wouldn't I also have to have her breast size so it wouldn't look like I was trying to compensate for something I lack? GOD THIS IS EMBARRASSING.

So I came to my decision while I could remain sane.

I...

I...

I padded my chest... (Manly pride has left the server, testosterone levels have gone down massively.)

As I was regretting my life choices, I walked into the lingerie store, a few minutes later. "Thanks for your purchase and come again." the receptionist said as I walked out with a smile, before it quickly died out. I quickly ran somewhere hidden to change as I quickly shoved her clothes back in, and put my shoes back on and restyled my hair.

My first and last time hopefully... as a cross-dresser has come to an end. Once I delivered the goods to Asia, I quickly left before she could discover my scent on one of the clothes and ask questions that were completely UNNECESSARY.

As I walked a good distance, I reached into my pocket and pulled out my wallet. I looked into my wallet as it revealed nothing.

"My hard earned money..." I sniffled, but could it get any worse I thought? But I realized another thing.

"Akeno's going to question, why I returned so late and didn't do the chores!" I said out loud, it was at this moment I realized "Fuck, she's going to punish me!" I said with a fright.

"Meow" I heard from under me, as I looked down I saw the same black cat with golden eyes from a couple of days ago as it rubbed its head against my leg.

I quickly scooped the cat off the ground and rubbed my cheeks against her head. Yep, her, I could tell the cat was female since last time I didn't know its gender. But after looking at her now and recalling all the books I read I could determine its gender.

"Oh little neko, you're my only pleasure in life." I said as I continue rubbing my cheeks on her. "Meow" the cat said in protest, almost dumbfounded by how I was acting compared to last time.

"This day sucks, little neko. I just wanted to help and now my moneys gone, i'm going to get extra work and punished. I have to look after a girl. All because I decided to save Issei from a stray exorcist, which led to the devils coming to his rescue, then the fallen angels coming." I said as I stopped rubbing my cheeks against her and lifted her up so our eyes met.

"Meow" the cat meowed almost as if understanding my pain. "I'm taking you home with me, I need to hug you to sleep." I said before putting her to my chest.

"Meow" the cat meowed, as her little paws moved as if protesting against my decision. "I'm not taking a no, little neko." I said as I went back to Akeno's home.

Once we reached Akeno's home, the cat stopped moving her little paws as if giving up. When Akeno saw me she questioned me about why I was late and why I brought back a cat. After that was done, she gave me extra chores, and left an extra punishment as surprise. I could feel a chill pass through the air as she said that.

I could only wallow in my misfortune as I went to bed with the cat still in my arms. "Good night, little neko." I said to it, "Meow" it responded and with that I fell asleep.

Once I fell asleep, my hold of the cat weakened as it was finally able to get out of my clutches.

The cat walked around in the room for a bit, before staring at my slumbering face while thinking who knows what before it went back into my arms before it also drifted into sleep.
