Chapter 13

"T-T-That perverted devil! How dare…" Julis was with a red face, blushing up a storm, the girl can't believe what she just heard from Sona!

How did that Devil came to such a conclusion!?

"Relax Julis, you only make it look more believable than it is…" Alex said with a sigh, trying to calm down the embarrassed girlfriend of his.

"If you just said with straight face no, then Sitri would have realised that she was wrong, but instead you started to blush up a storm to her false accusation." He explained that to his Pink Princess who somewhat calmed down.

"E-Even if you say so, it's embarrassing!"

Julis said while trying to control her blushing, she doesn't want to enter the classroom while blushing like a tomato!

*Sigh*

"Then let's wait until you calmed down."

She nodded hearing that, perfectly honest, now she was even more embarrassed, but for different reasons…

While the pink Princess tried to get over her embarrassments which came from Sona's misunderstanding and Julis inability to look past it, Alex was thinking what he saw above Sitri Heiress head.

'So, Sona is a level 2, well that's disappointing, but understandable. Neither she or Rias were strong before canon events started.'

More importantly, this somewhat clarified that his dungeon and the App are developing on their own, will this make future enemies stronger in the dungeon too?

The moment he thought of that he felt a shiver going down his spine.

He probably should have not jinxed himself...

~~~

Few minutes later they arrived at class, and unlike yesterday the day went through much smoother than before.

After half of the classes were done Julis and Alex went outside to eat their dinner.

The reason why they are eating outside is quite a simple one.

It's not just one reason, for Julis, apart from great weather, the pinkhead wants to keep Alex away from the clutches of the Devil kind.

While all these thoughts went through Julis mind, Alex only cared about Bento done by his lovely Princess.

"So, when did you wake up to prepare all this?" Alex asked curiously, it takes time to make proper Bentos!

That means she started making it few hours before he woke up!

The girl flinched when she heard the question…

"Only one hour before, don't worry." She said that while looking away from him, it was a small lie.

"...If you say so…" He said that with shrug while continue eating it.

Eventually, he will find out, if not then he will just wait until the girl herself will tell him why she is lying.

Apart from that the rest of the break went through normally, but at the end of it, he felt someone looking at him.

Alex might not have yet developed his senses to a high level. But, he was able to pick up someone who was blatantly staring at him.

He turned around and saw a building separated from the rest of the school, the window of the first floor was open and a redhead was looking at him curiously from distance.

There was a small reaction from Alex before he returned to normal, Julis saw this and she looked where Alex looked at.

"So, that's the other Heiress huh…" the pinkhead softly said to him.

She then noticed her massive burst size, her eyebrow twitched at seeing those.

"Yeah, the Gremory, anyway the class starting soon let's return." Alex gaze returned to the pink head and looked at her blue eyes.

Julis huffed slightly before grabbing his hand defensively, even though she sensed no changes in her emphatic link…

She just met another Devil Heiress, who is much more desperate than Sona Sitri, her reaction was natural.

Besides in her eyes, the Gremory arsenal is much more deadly than Sona's…

But, then she remembered about herself, that moment she little bit relaxed, as she wouldn't be here if her boyfriend was interested in assets of that size.

Alex could only sigh as he understood why Julis was behaving like that.

Rias looks… Well, they are potent for people who care a lot about burst sizes…

"Yes, let's go," Julis said that while slightly pulling Alex's hand.

The guy in question only chuckled internally he doesn't mind when Julis is so… defensive with him, he can get more touchy with her that way!

~~~

"So, those two are the transfer students which everyone is talking about? No wonder Sona is so tight-lipped about them, that guy's magic is so potent it creates static electricity!" The redhead said with a slightly awed look, she never seen a human-like that before.

"Yet, that static doesn't affect his girlfriend, very fascinating…" Her 'Queen' commented on the phenomenon she saw.

The Gremory Heiress slowly nodded, she was more interested in the power of this male human, she wonders how powerful is he, and what kind of lightning power he can generate? is it stronger than her Queen?

To her that is doubtful, but the Heiress knows that her 'Queen' doesn't use her inherited lightning, it's something she despises doing, maybe the Heiress could get this one to join her, she still has one empty bishop spot, maybe as a knight piece? To boost his speed further.

"Are you thinking of trying to get them to your Peerage? This would be two for one price, I still can't believe there is a couple in our school, I thought I will graduate without seeing one." The black-haired Queen said with a soft giggle.

Their school is very unique place, as being girls only institute before, most of the girls in the school are very sheltered, while most of the boys who joined are perverts in some way, thus making a very strange status quo, girls don't like interacting with boys as they either too shy or think that they are perverts, and the perverted trio doesn't help the situation any further.

That's why the trio are hated that much, by girls because they are massive perverts and by the males because they give a bad image to boys in general, and to top it all up, the faculty office doesn't do anything to change that, for very simple reason…

The redhead Heiress inactivity, Rias is the one who wants for Issei to join her peerage, that's why Sona doesn't do anything, same with Faculty Office which is under their control.

"Yes… it is…" Rias agreed, more like just said without much care, she continued to watch them until they left.

~~~~~~Later~~~~~~

"So, where are we going?" Julis asked curiously as they were not going home after school.

"Shopping."

Her eyes brightened when she heard what they were going to do.

"That's great? Where specifically?" She asked even more curiously.

"Pharmacy, then book store perhaps …"

All her curiosity evaporated when she heard that.

"You getting some sort of medicine?" She asked offhandedly.

Same time she realised that as his girlfriend she should learn if he is allergic to anything…

Since Kuoh is not that big of a town, both of them quite quickly ended up in the shopping district.

Julis closely observed what kind of shopper is Alex, is he one of those who like to spend time in the shop inspecting products and comparing prices?

Or, is he someone who has a mission in mind and gets what he needs and then just leaves.

Thankfully Julis realised that Alex does not stay long in shops…

As the moment he arrived he took the basket and made the beeline to first aid kits…

But then her mouth opened slighly as he saw him taking almost all of them…

'What in world… he needs that many first aid kits?'

This was not the end too, as he went over and picked up a bunch of painkillers, disinfectant bottles…

"Are you thinking of treating wounds of a small army with this…" Julis asked curiously, as she looked at the full basket already…

Not long after that Alex got a second basket… since it's not a supermarket, they don't have trolleys.

Other people started to notice that too, they all were looking weirdly at the teenager, it looked like he was either stocking up for something or he was going outdoors for several years…

Not that they were wrong, in a weird way they were right with second guess, he is going outside for a long time.

After he was done, he went to the cashier who was looking at him curiously.

"Outdoor activities…" He clarified a little bit, not sound too rude he clarified for this excess buying.

She raised an eyebrow before starting to scan his items.

Soon enough Alex saw numbers going up and up on the screen, he will be splashing quite a bit of money here.

"That will be 82 thousand yen."

Alex nodded and pulled out his golden master card and then paid.

Eventually, they left with two massive bags.

"Won't your parents notice this in your bank account?" Julis asked curiously, she has no idea how much is 82 thousand, which sounds quite a bit in her mind.

"Not really, it's just slightly above 600 euros…" He shrugged at her.

"I see… I need to learn about the currencies in this era." Julis said with a sigh, 600 doesn't sound much.

"Yeah, we probably should. You know, I never learned what kind of currency is in your place?" Alex curiously asked, he doesn't remember it being mentioned, or maybe he missed it.

"We have universal credit which is used worldwide," Julis explained to him, happy that he doesn't just know everything and that she can tell something from her place.

'Maybe he can use that lottery wheel to get us to my Earth? I always wanted to win that Fiesta.' For a moment the pink head had a wistful look before Alex motioned for her to follow him.

A few twist and turns later they were between building.

"Can you watch that no one is watching us? I am going to store these in my inventory."

Julis slowly nodded in understanding, the girl was impressed by such a thing as inventory, that sounds very convenient and many people would want that!

It only took few seconds before Alex was next to her.

"Let's go get something to eat and then check out more shops." He casually said that, now that his hands are free.

"Okay…" She gladly agreed to his proposal. Now that he mentioned that Julis was feeling quite hungry after having to watch all that crazy shopping from just one store!

Even if she was just an observer, she felt tired!

He smiled and offered his hand to her.

"Date it is then." His smile turned into a smirk.

Her eyes widened into a realisation, then her mouth twitched.

"That...was impressive and very underhanded…" She said with a resigned voice.

"I spend a year in forest infested with man to horse-sized wolves and who knows what else, I think that I learned few tricks…" He said that with a somewhat joking voice.

"I suppose you did, well then lead on…" She gave him her hand.

"Not this time, we explore together. I have no idea how we even found that pharmacy in the first place."

He said that while internally marvelling how soft her hand was, and quite smaller than his.

While Julis was opposite to Alex, his hand much rougher and she can feel that it had multiple healed cuts and some scars.

"After dinner we going some clothes shopping, you said that you use a bow right?" Julis asked him sharply, he needs to get gloves as soon as possible!

"Yes, now that you mentioned, I need some leather gloves." He remembered how it was annoying when his bleeding hand interrupted his perfect shooting streaks…

"Good, then it's settled." She pulled him forward, now they have another mission.

"Hmm, Julis… do you even know where we are going?"

She stopped walking when she heard that, then she looked around for any boards or signs.

All the girl knows that the town is small, and it only has one massive shopping district... So, they are not THAT lost…

"Let's ask some people first then…"
