Kuoh town

Kuoh Town, Japan

The blazing midday sun shone relentlessly as the buildings were bathed in its warm light.

As I walked closer towards the centre of the town, I began to realise that whilst Kuoh town was one of the main settings of the story where various events took place, it was underwhelmingly average in every sense. There was nothing remotely special that screamed at you, stating it was a place where supernatural events took place.

Alright, I think that was enough of me describing how boring this town is.

The objective of this walk was for me to find the protagonist of the story, Issei Hyoudou, whilst familiarising myself with the town. In order to comprehend the time I had before things started to heat up, I needed to find him.

Whilst I may have the past memories of the original body, I found that he was very unfamiliar with the town as he rarely went out to play or do other various activities, dedicating most of his time to training and studying.

Finding the address of the Hyoudou family house was a simple process. Knocking on the door, I waited until I heard light steps as the door opened, revealing a middle-aged woman who had her dark brown hair tied into a ponytail. I assumed the woman was Issei's mother.

"Hello there, Aunty. I'm looking for Issei as I would like to play with him. If you can tell me where he is, it would be helpful. " Azrael cringed internally as he spoke in a childlike manner to Issei's mother.

"Oh, you're looking for my little Issei, aren't you?" Ah yes, he should be playing in the park right now. It's great to know he has such a well-mannered friend like you." After all, she had no reason to assume that a young kid like me would have any ulterior motive towards their child.

After thanking her, I made my way towards the park where I found Issei playing with some other kids. From watching, I deduced that he was still a child, around the age of 10 years. It also seemed that he hadn't yet been corrupted by the oppai grandpa. Right now, he appeared to be just a normal kid amongst others.

In the end, I watched him for a bit before departing the park and heading for the electronic store. After all, there was no need for me to introduce myself to him right now as I was sure we would meet each other again when our paths evidently crossed once again.

A few moments later:

I walked myself into the largest electronic store in town. I found that the technology was a bit more advanced for its time than it should be. Well, it did not matter much as it was mostly a result of the supernatural world.

Factoring everything in, I decided to buy the best components I could find in the store. The components I bought would allow me to develop my very own artificial intelligence. The Ai was not essential to my plan, but it would have its uses.

"Good afternoon, sir, how may I assist you?" inquired the clerk.

"I would like to purchase these items please." I ordered as I placed the parts on the counter.

"Sure, would you like them delivered to your house?" As for the payment, please pay with either cash or with your card, "the clerk replied."

After paying for the packages and making sure they would be delivered to my house as soon as possible, I made my way back home in order to plan my future and to build the AI.

For those wondering how the store allowed me to buy the expensive parts, it is due to the fact that the electronic store was one of the many stores that my Aunt owned, as well as the fact that they didn't really care since I was willing to spend a lot of money. Man, it's nice being rich.
