Ch 2

Ren Pov

Since the peace treaty is supposed to be held in Kuoh,I decided that I would drop by at Hyoudou residence and meet uncle and auntie and maybe Issei if he was still at home.But,I didn't tell them that I'm coming to visit them so it's going to surprise them.

As I walked through the street of Kuoh, I saw that not many things change.

They did renovate some streets, some shops were replaced and others were still there.

Nothing has changed in the neighborhood. It looks like what I remembered.

Once in front of my house, I took a breath and then I ring the bell.

"YES!" I heard Auntie Miki's voice and a few seconds later, the door opened and I saw her.

She looked like how I remembered her. With some wrinkles on her face.

"Uh..Hi,Auntie. I'm back." With that, she hugged me with me doing the same.

"Dear, who is it?" Behind her was uncle Gorou with his newspaper. Just like auntie, he did age a bit but he didn't really change.

When he saw me, he dropped his newspaper on the ground and joined us in the family hug.

""Welcome back.""

"I'm back."

After that,I told them that I was on vacation and that I would stay home for a little less than two weeks. We talked about what I have done in recent years, who I met and other stuff.

I showed them pictures I took when I was on a mission sent by Azazel.Of course, I made sure to hide everything remotely related to the supernatural.

There were photos when I was with Vali when we were in foreign countries.

Also, other photos when I was with Tobio,Lavinia,the whole Slash/Dog team and even the ones with Azazel.

I don't know why but when I showed them the pictures with the girls, they started crying.Commenting something along the lines with their nephew giving them grandchildren.

After talking a bit, they told me that Ise was still in school so I decided to go to visit Kuoh Academy.

Feeling some Devils infront of the academy along with Vali,I quickly headed towards them.

Ise POV

Yesterday was fun at the pool. Buchou's oppai, Akeno-san's oppai. Oppai everywhere...

As I walked toward the school, I saw a bishounen with silver hair. He was a foreigner and he was looking up at me. With a smile like an angel, he spoke to me while coming towards me.

"Hey, it's a good school."

"Um...well, sorta."

I made a forced smile and replied refreshingly. Who's he?

"I am Vali. The Hakuryuukou, the Vanishing Dragon."

...

...Eh? What did this guy say...?

"This is the first time we meet, Welsh Dragon, Sekiryuutei Hyoudou Issei."

T-This must be a lie. I felt like my left hand was burning. I can understand that Ddraig residing in me is responding. Hey, hey, Ddraig. Was this really him!?

While I was being concerned, the Vanishing Dragon appeared in front of me with his finger pointing at my face.

"You're helpless." Since when did he move?

"That's right. For example, if I begin to do something magical to you here-"

A sword was thrust towards the Vanishing Dragon's neck. Kiba was the one who appeared in that instant. He was holding his Holy Demonic Sword towards the Vanishing Dragon.

I didn't feel his presence at all. With the Knight's god-like speed, he came running to me who was in trouble?

"I don't know what you plan to do, but don't you think your joke went too far?"

"It's better if you stopped that. Aren't your hands shaking?"

Like the Vanishing Dragon said, Kiba's hands were shaking. Although he was grasping his Holy-Demonic Sword tightly, his expression was stiff.

"It's fine to boast. Not knowing the difference between your opponent's strength is strong evidence.

Between me and you, there is a decisive difference in power. You, who couldn't win against the likes of Kokabiel, won't be able to win against me."

Just remembering him gave me the creeps and sweat came. He was an opponent I didn't know if I could have won against even if I went into Boosted Gear Scale Mail mode. With all of us together, we could only scratch him.

He must possess a lot of power to be able to look down on him by saying 'the likes of'.

"Hyoudou Issei, what rank do you think your strength is in this world?"

"Counting from the top in your condition of the incomplete Balance Breaker, it would be a four-digit number, between one thousand to one thousand five hundred. No, for the perverted owner, it should be even lower?" What does he want to say?

"Hyoudou Issei, you're a valuable existence. It's better if he's raised well, Rias Gremory."

The Vanishing Dragon looked in the direction behind me. Following his gaze, I saw Buchou standing there with a serious expression.

Around Buchou, there was Akeno-san and Koneko-chan as well and they looked ready to fight.

"What's the meaning of this? What do you want with Ise?"

"...The Two Heavenly Dragons, the Dragons called that way, Welsh Dragon and Vanishing Dragon. In the past, those related to them didn't live a satisfactory life. How will you end up?"

"..."

Upon hearing that guy's words, Buchou's words were stopped.

"I didn't come here to fight today. I just wanted to see my fated rival. I won't fight the Welsh dragon here, not to mention...Your brother/Cousin wouldn't allow me to battle you."

He looked up in the direction behind us. We followed his gaze and what we saw shocked us.

It was Ren who was standing on a lamppost.

"Vali,here I thought you were supposed to be with Azazel helping him with the peace talk."

"Everything's done.So,I decided that I would pay a visit to my arch-rival,Is there a problem with that Ren."

They looked at each other eyes until the two of them started to exert their powers. Are they planning to fight there and what with that power?!

After a few moments, the Vanishing Dragon smirked while Ren smiled and the pressure disappeared.

"Grow stronger Issei Hyoudou,Otherwise I would be greatly disappointed in you my arch-rival." With that, the Vanishing Dragon started to leave this place.

"This guy will never change will he."Ren murmured.

"Wait!" Buchou screamed at them.

"Is there something you want, Rias Gremory?" She was a little nervous but why? Kiba and Koneko were cautious but Akeno-san... she seemed uncomfortable.

"D-Do you hate me for turning Ise into a Devil?" As Buchou said that, my eyes widen.Ren is an ally of the Fallen Angels and we are Devils. We are now enemies and Buchou is someone that value families. She wouldn't want for us brothers to kill each others.

But surprisingly, he shook his head.

"No, in fact, I'm grateful to you." At this, we were all confused. Seeing this, he sat on the lamppost and decided to explain.

"You see I haven't been with him for long as i basically lived abroad till now,but i know he's a pervert whose dream is to be a Harem King. As a Human, he will be treated as a criminal but as a Devil, he can achieve his dream. That is one of the reasons why I'm grateful to you but I won't say them." Buchou stared at Ren trying to read into him.

"Well, I will go back home for now. I heard that today is a classroom visit day so I'll come later." And like that, he left us with his friend.

"Ise-sempai's brother is kind of weird." Koneko, how harsh of you.

Ren Pov

After calming the situation down,I headed back toward the Hyoudou residence after which we went together to Kuoh Academy to visit Ise for Open house.

When we approached the school gate, we saw the Student Council doing their jobs. Giving information and helping the students' parents.

"Hyoudou Ren."

As someone called me, I turned only to see Sona Sitri.

"Good morning, Souna Shitori. It's a nice day." She stared coldly at me. What did I do?

"What are you doing here?"

"It's a classroom visit today. So I'm here to visit cousin together with his family. Is there a problem?"

"...No, there isn't." "Then, we will go." Leaving her, I joined uncle and auntie who were waiting for me, then we went to Ise's classroom.

As we entered, we got the attention of the class. Ignoring them, I searched for Ise and when I saw him, I waved at him.

We watched as everyone started to question Ise about our relationship. There were some screams like 'Impossible','You don't look like each other'.

There was a girl who was staring at me and I felt that I was being analyzed.

She wears spectacles, has gold colored eyes and lightly messy brunette hair tied into braids on each side.

Then she turned to Ise saying something like 'Are you sure you're brothers, he's bigger than you'.

Now the classroom turned into chaos.

"Is it normal for students to act like that?" I only chuckled at Auntie's question before saying no.

When the teacher arrived, everyone calmed down. It seems that it was an English class but he gave them polymer clay.

What do they have in common with English? Every student started reluctantly to knead their clay.

Ise was... well, making a mini-Rias with all the details just like in canon. Ise, to think you can show yourself as a pervert with all the students' parents watching. You've grown-up well as well.

"Hyo-Hyoudou-kun..." The teacher who was behind Ise had an astonished expression on his face as he pointed a finger to Ise's creation.

"Ooh!" There was an excited cheer from the class.

"W-Wonderful... Hyoudou-kun, to think that you had this sort of talent... This class was the right choice after all. Once again, I was able to draw out a student's hidden ability..."

Then the class turned into chaos with students trying to auction for the mini-Rias sculpture.

"Look at that, Otou-san. It's our Ise!"

"I thought his libido was the only special thing about him, but he could actually become a recognized artist!"

Once the class was over,I decided to explored the school since i was a little curious,i only ever saw the school in anime and when I thrashed this place while beating Kokobiel up.

"A photo shoot with a magical girl ?!" Someone screamed and we saw people running toward the gymnasium with a camera on them.

I knowing what was happening I decided to follow the crowd to the gymnasium.

When i entered, flashes kept going off as the men who were holding cameras were photographing something. Looking a little further,i saw a magical girl.

She was a twin-tailed, black-haired girl in a pink magical girl cosplay. She had a petite body and generous assets. She was spinning her stick or whatever round and round as well.

It was Serafall Leviathan, one of the Four Satans.

Ise and Rias's peerage having already arrived,i moved on the side to see the situation.

"Hey, hey! You, who are you doing a photography shoot on a public path!"

While saying that, the guy from the Student Council, Saji I think, came jumping through the crowd. Girls who looked like members of the Student Council as well came following Saji towards the photography scene.

"Hey, hey, disperse, disperse! Today's the day for displaying classes to the public! Don't make a ruckus at this kind of place!"

The young men with the cameras who were photographing were also leaving reluctantly due to Saji's pushing.

"You too, please don't wear that kind of costume. Wait, would you be a parent perhaps? Even if that's the case, you know there's a dress code according to the place. This is troublesome."

"Eh, but this is my uniform."

Saji pressed his warning but Serafall didn't pay any heed to it while posing in cute poses.

Saji ground his teeth, but as soon as he looked at Rias, he lowered his head.

"Oh, it's Rias-senpai. You came at the right time. I was just guiding Maou-sama and Senpai's Otou-san."

As Saji turned his head towards the back, Sirzechs and another red-haired male entered the gym under the guidance of Sona Sitri Kaichou.

"What's this? Saji, I always tell you to settle things decisively..."

Sona said that, but as soon as she saw her sister, she stopped speaking.

"Sona-chan! Found you."

After finding Sona, Serafall happily clung to her. Without minding,

"Aah, it's you, Serafall. So you came here as well." Sirzechs called out to her.

"It's Leviathan-sama. That person is one of the current four Maous, Serafall Leviathan-sama. And also, she's Sona's onee-sama." Rias was explaining Serafall's identity to Ise who screamed.

"Serafall-sama, it's been a long time."

"Ara, Rias-chan. Long time no see~. Have you been doing well?" Rias looked a bit troubled.

"Y-Yes. Thanks to you. Did you come today for Sona's class visit?"

"Yeah. Sona-chan is really mean. She didn't tell me about today! Geez! Because of the shock, Onee-chan was going to attack Heaven."

"Ise, greet her."

"N-Nice to meet you. I am Hyoudou Issei. I am Rias Gremory-sama's servant Pawn! I'll be under your care!"

"Nice to meet you. I am the Maou Serafall Leviathan. Call me Levia-tan." She said while making a peace sign and she's sparking.

"Hey, Sirzechs-chan. Is this boy the rumored Dragon-kun?"

"Yes, he's the person in which the Welsh Dragon resides, Hyoudou Issei-kun."

"Ara, ara, Uncle Gremory." So this is Rias's father.

"Yes, Serafall-dono. This is another novel uniform. I somewhat think that, as a Maou, it's a bit too..."

"Ara, uncle. Don't you know? This is the fashion in this country, you know?"

"Heh, is that so? It seems this was my ignorance."

"Hahaha, Otou-sama, don't believe it." Then Serafall noticed us.

"Hey, Sirzechs-chan. Who is he?" When she pointed at me making everyone present looking at me.

"Ren?! Since when you were here?"

"Since the beginning, my foolish little brother." His eyes twitched when I insulted him.

"This is Hyoudou Ren, Hyoudou Issei's cousin. He is also the one who killed Kokabiel. You should know him by his epithet Azazel's Hound." When Sirzechs informed Serafall, she came toward us.

"Buchou!.? What does your brother mean by Azazel's Hound,even Kokobiel mentioned it?"Issei asked.

"Well,your brotheris famous among various faction for his strength and loyalty towards his leader Azazel,So he was given the epithet of Azazel's Hound,infact among the agents in Grigori who are human he is considered among the strongest if not the strongest even stronger than the current Hakuryuukou."Rias responded to him.Well there is Tobio who I would consider an equal and I doubt she knows about the Juggernaut Drive.

"Hi, I am the Maou Serafall Leviathan. Call me Levia-tan. Thank you for killing Kokabiel and saving So-tan." She introduced herself so I decided to go with the flow.

"Hi, Levia-tan. I'm Re-chan, you can call me Re-tan.I just did my job so you don't have to worry about me saving So-tan." At this, she smiled at me before talking about Sona.

I looked toward Sona to see her blushing in embarrassment. Faking a gasp, I looked at Serafall.

"Levia-tan! We've got trouble!"

"What is it? Re-tan?" She was a bit confused but she followed me.

"So-tan is completely red! I think she needs some of her Onee-chan's love!" When I said that, Sona became the center of attention and her face became completely red.

"Sona-chan, what's wrong? Do you need help? Let Onee-chan help you."

"...O-Onee-sama. This is my school, and I am entrusted with the job of the Student Council President here... No matter how close relatives we are, Onee-sama's behavior is too much... I can't approve of that sort of outfit." She tried to keep her composure. How cute.

"Levia-tan. I think that So-tan needs a kiss from her Onee-chan."

"You're right! So-tan! Do you want a kiss or do you want to embrace each other in a yuri way?" Wow...didn't expect her to go that far.

"Uuh, I can't bear it! I'll remember this!" Sona eyes' became wet, she glared at me and she ran away from the gym.

"Wait, Sona-chan! Where are you going while leaving your Onee-chan behind!?" Serafall ran behind her.

"Please don't follow me!"

"No! Don't abandon your Onee-chan! So-tan!"

"I have asked you so many times not to add 'tan'!" Ha...i kinda feel bad for her.

"You are quite the little devil,Ren-kun." Looking behind me was Sirzechs.

"No,Sirzechs-sama. I'm just a simple man, unlike you people who are the devils." They were the Devils and he laughed at that.

"You know that when Ise-kun fought against Rias's fiance. He boldly screamed that Rias's virginity was his." Ise's face started to become red hearing this.

"Isn't that the same as a marriage proposal?"

"Yes and after the fight which Ise-kun won, Rias kissed him." Now, it's Rias's face that started to redden similar to her hair colour.

"How romantic, did you knew that even while fighting Kokabiel, they were holding hands like a couple."

"Is it true? Children are growing up so fast nowadays."

"Maybe I should call you Nii-san in advance then."

"I will be happy if you were, Otouto. I asked Ise-kun to do the same yesterday but he was too embarrassed."

"Don't worry, Nii-san. It's just a matter of time." We chuckled as the pair were crying of embarrassment.

"Please! You two! Could you stop embarrassing us?!" Rias shouted with her face as red as her hair.

Rias's father took Rias's picture when she was mad.

"That's a nice face, Rias. It's good, to raise you so splendidly... I will fill my wife's share of enthusiasm as she couldn't come here today."

"Otou-sama! Geez!" As we laughed at Rias,Issei's parents entered the gym.

"Oh my, Ise,Ren."

"O-Otou-san."

"Hyoudou Issei-kun, are those people your parents?"

Rias's father asked him.

"Y-Yes, they're my parents."

"I see. Yeah." Rias's father stood in front of Issei's parents.

"Nice to meet you. I am Rias's father, Zeoticus Gremory."

While seeking to handshake, Zeoticus extended his hand to my father. Upon learning that the gentleman with crimson hair was Rias's father,Uncle and Auntie's expression did a complete change from an enjoying expression to a nervous one.

"Th-This is, thank you! Ah, um, I am Hyoudou Issei's father! Hyoudou Gorou! We're being taken care of by Rias-san, um, that is..."Uncle, you're too nervous.

"No, same here. Thanks for taking care of Rias. I thought to come greet you, but Sirzechs and I were busy with work, so it wasn't easy to find an opportunity. It seems this occasion was blessed by good luck. It's an honor to meet you today."

"No-No way! I too also said to greet you once to Issei's father...no, no, I talked to my husband about it." Auntie , you're trying too hard to speak like a noble.

"Yeah. I want to talk at a more quiet place. This place is a bit conspicuous. Above all, our children are embarrassed, right? Kiba-kun."

"Yes."

"Sorry, but could you lead us to a more quiet place?"

"Yes. Then, please follow me."

Kiba bowed to uncle and auntie, and started walking in the corridor.

"Well then Rias, Hyoudou Issei-kun. I'll come back after talking a bit. Sirzechs, can I leave the rest to you?"

"Yes, Otou-sama."

"Ise, me and your mother will come back see you after talking a bit."

"Aah, Otou-san, don't say anything weird, okay?"

"Leave it to me."

Under Kiba's guidance,Uncle ,Auntie and Zeoticus left this place.

"Rias."

"What is it, Onii-sama?"

"There's something I wanted to talk about for a bit. Sorry, Ise-kun, I'll be borrowing my little sister for a bit. Akeno-kun, would you mind coming along with us?"

"Yes."

"Y-Yes. It's fine with me..." Ise said a little nervous. Well, he seems to understand that it is important if he has to talk with Rias and Akeno only.Hmm must be about Rias's bishop or the peace treaty or maybe both.

He then took them, and disappeared somewhere. I think it's time for class to start again.

"Ise, you should go back to your classroom. If you want to talk, we will do it tonight." He nodded at me and left.

Now, what to do?Well i guess i will explore Kuoh a little more.

When i took a break in the local park near my house,i saw a child sitting in the ground near the swings.

Looking at the child, I couldn't help but to tremble at her. She was a cute young girl with long black hair down to her hips and black eyes. She has pointed ears.

She wore a black gothic lolita dress with her chest exposed and her nipples hidden by black tapes.

Why is the Infinite Dragon God Ophis here?!!!

"I see... Where are you parents?" When I calm down, I asked her, of course knowing already the answer.

"I don't have parents."

"Your home?"

"I don't have a home anymore."well she was kicked out of the dimensional gap.

"Why?"

"It was stolen from me... By Baka-Red." Baka-Red... she must means Great Red.

"What is your name?"

"... Ophis." At least bother to hide your true name

"I'm Ren." I introduced myself.

"Then Ophis, are you hungry? Do you want to come with me eat some sweets?" She tilted her head before nodding.

"Here." I gave her my hand which she took then she stood up.

"Let's go." Like that, we went to a cafe nearby.

When we entered the cafe and after looking at the menu, I ordered a certain dessert for us.

"Woah..." In front of us was my favorite sweet, the 'Mixed fruit Pudding'.

This sweet is like a work of art. The pudding at the center of the plate surrounded by many ingredients. There were whipped cream, apples, banana, ice cream and tangerine. I could see that Ophis was amazed at this sight.

"Let's eat." I said as I prepared to eat my own, Ophis following me.

As we eated, I looked at Ophis eating her part.

After the first bite, her eyes shined and she started to devour everything on her plate. The more I looked at her, the more I see her like a child. Is that really the leader of the Khaos Brigade?

Once she finished, I asked her if it was good.

"Yes, it was good." Then she pulled on my sleeve making me look at her.

"Can I have more?" Yeah, she act like a child. Sighing, I ordered another one for her.

When we left the cafe after eating, Ophis ate 9 more puddings. My wallet has suffered from that.

"Ophis, what will you do from now?" I asked the little terrorist leader who was with us.

"I will take back my silence."

"I have to go."

"I see, bye then." I petted her head then she left.

With that, I started to go home.

That night during dinner at the Hyoudou house, the admiration meeting for today's classroom visit had begun. The participants were uncle, Zeoticus and Sirzechs. While gulping down sake, they were comparing the video they mutually shot.Auntie was preparing dishes while Grayfia was carrying them.

"Hahahaha! Paying attention to a daughter's blossoming is a parent's duty after all!"

"Hahaha! And look at Ise making Rias's sculpture."

While drinking sake, Zeoticus and Uncle were heartily laughing. The persons in question were at the end of living room with their faces red and were praying 'End quickly, end quickly'. Welcome to hell, Devils.

"Please look! Our Ria-tan is raising her hand and answering Sensei's question!" I ended up laughing out loud when I saw Rias covering her face with her hand.

"I can't bear it! Onii-sama, you idiot!" Ah! Rias ran away!

"Buchou!" Ise chased after her.

"I wondered, where you will be sleeping tonight. We don't have any rooms for her." Auntie asked me as she was washing the dishes.

Oh yeah, There are only four bedrooms in this house. Ise's,his parents',Asia's and the guest's one which was taken by Rias.

"I can sleep on the couch."

"Are you sure,wouldn't it be uncomfortable?."

"Nah,it's fine"

Ise POV

After I woke in the middle of the night, I remembered what Sirzechs-sama told us before. I wonder what kind of person is our bishop.

But when I heard something downstairs, I looked who it was and it was Ren in the living room.

He was looking outside, his back facing me.

"So, are you going to stand there or are you coming down, Ise?" I blinked when he talked to me. He must have sensed me.

So I went down and sat on the sofa.Ren turned himself to face me.

"Do you have something you want to ask?" Well, there are still thing I wanted to talk about.

"You are an agent of Grigori,right?" To which he nodded.

"Then how did you became one?" He looked toward the stairs and sighed.

"Well,long story short my parents your uncle and aunt died at the hands of a stray devil,it was then i awakened my longinus,after which Azazel discovered and saved me and decided to take me in.And if the eavesdropping is done why dont you come out Ria-tan." As he said that Buchou came down, I didn't noticed her presence. She had an annoyed face for being called Ria-tan but it soon turned to a concerned one.

"You don't mind? I mean isn't that a discussion between you two?"

"No, it's fine. I don't really mind so you can sit down." Buchou nodded at him and sat next to me.

I don't know what Buchou was thinking, I was terrified. If it wasn't for that person.Ren would have been killed. I started to sweat just by imagining it.

"Ise." I jerked when Ren called me and Buchou was looking at me worriedly.

"Ise, are you okay?"

"Ise, relax, I'm not dead. Take a breath." I did as he said and tried to relax.

"Is there something else you want to ask?" Should I? After a few moment, I made my decision.

"A-Are you disappointed in me for being a Devil?" I needed to get this out. I needed to know his thoughts. Buchou held my hand more tightly.

She already knew that I was worried ever since the accident with Kokabiel and with how he dismissed me back then, I was scared that he was disappointed with me.

What I didn't expect is that he just sighed and shook his head.

"No, I'm not."

"But, I'm a Devil and you're an agent of Grigori. We are enemies. Even your parents were killed by a Devil.I-" "Stop." When he said that, I closed my mouth.

"Ise, just because I am an agent og Grigori doesn't mean that I will hate all Devils. The one I hate are the Strays and trashs."

"Trashs?" Buchou asked making Sakuya wince.

"The Ancient Maou Faction who only care about themselves without thinking about the repercussions of their actions."

"Also, Ise. While I know that the house of Gremory are reputed to be affectionate with their servants, I want to know. Do you regret turning into a Devil? If you had the chance, would you go back to being a normal Human?"Ren asked me while staring at my eyes and Buchou looked at me too.

If I regret it. No. When I was killed by Raynare, it was Buchou who saved my life. Going back to being a Human. Several memories flashed in front of me... Remembering them, I said my answer.

"No, I don't regret it. And if I could, I prefer being a Devil." I said with full confidence.

"You see, ever since I became a Devil. My life changed completely but I don't dislike it. Now, I have Buchou by my side. There is also Akeno-san who often teases me but I don't hate it.Even Koneko-chan, even if her punches are quite powerful, she is a good kouhai and Kiba, at first I didn't like him but now, I think of him as a good friend.So I'm happy that I am a Devil and I have a goal." I said to Ren had closed his eyes.

"And what is it?"

"I want to become the 'Ultimate Pawn' and to protect Buchou and everyone I care about." I said as I looked at her who smiled at me.

When we looked at Ren, he had a smile on his face.

"I see, well it is the path you have chosen. So take pride in it." He stood up and walked toward me.

"Know this, Ise. No matter what you are, you will always be my brother." He left us as he started to go back upstairs.

"Also Ise." Did he forget to say something?

"For your wish of having a harem will finally come true as a Devil." With that last phrase, he left.

"He is like how you described him at the training camp." Buchou commented as she chuckled.

- Flashback -

"Hey, Ise. Can you talk to me about your brother?" Buchou asked me.

"Well, I only have memories of when we were still children. He didn't come back since 9 years now."

"That's fine, I want to learn more about you and your family."

"Well, because he is my cousin,both of our father were brother. I was often compared to Ren. When we were kid,Ren was always smarter, stronger and mature than me.Everything thing that he did he was good at it. While my parents didn't care about that, I was always said by others to be more like him. So I kind of envied him a little and felt inferior to him." Buchou's eyes widens a bit before becoming soft.

"Do you hate him?" I shook my head at her question.

"No, I like him. No matter what would happen to me, he would just smile and help me and no matter what I do, he will support me.When I talked to him about me trying to be like him, he just shook his head saying 'You don't have to try to be like me. We are not the same person so just be who you are.We like and hate different things.' thing like that.You could say that I also respected him. But he also loves to tease me." Buchou chuckled at
