part.7

"We are back!"

Asia and I had finished handing out the leaflets and returned to the club room.

The unused old school building located behind the school. One of the rooms on the third floor is the room for the Occult Research Club and also the gathering place for the Gremory group.

"Ara ara, good work. I will make some green tea now."

The first one to welcome us back is the vice-president of our club as well as the staff officer of Rias-buchou, Himejima Akeno-san. She is my senior who is a third year student and is a Japanese beauty with long silky black hair who is always smiling. She is also a person with a pony-tail hair-style which is rare among the current teens.

Along with Buchou, she is called one of the "Two Great Onee-samas" of our school and she is popular among both boys and girls and has the popularity of an idol.

"Hey, how was the date at night?"

The guy who is sending out a smile at me is Kiba Yuuto, the good looking guy. He is the Handsome-prince who has captured the hearts of most of the girls in our school. He is my enemy since I hate good looking guys.

"It was obviously the best."

I put my thumbs up towards Kiba.

"...Illicit sexual relationship late at night."

The one who just said a harsh thing to me is the small build first year student, Toujou Koneko-chan. At first glance, she only looks like a grade school student but because she's a loli girl, she is popular in our academy for being our school mascot.

Asia and I walk towards Buchou, who is sitting on the sofa. Our [King], Rias-buchou. Even tonight, your crimson hair is beautiful like always.

"Buchou. We are back."

I reported to her, but Buchou is looking towards a certain direction while being dazed. Is she thinking about something? She even makes a deep sigh.

Asia who is next to me also looks in the direction Buchou is looking towards.

"Buchou, we are back!"

This time, I raised my voice. Buchou heard me and came back to her senses.

"I-I'm sorry. I was dazed for a bit. Good work, Ise, Asia."

Lately, I think that Buchou is thinking about something often. When she orders us to do something, she does it with elegance like usual, but other than that, her mind goes off to somewhere. I think the number of times she has sighed increased as well.

She possibly has some serious concerns that we won't possibly be able to understand. Well, she is a High-class Devil, after all.

So these are the members of the Occult Research Club and also the members of the Gremory group. Other than me, everyone else is super popular at school. Well, I'm famous for being a perv. Hahaha, I feel like apologising since I feel I'm in a wrong place.

Buchou then says it after confirming that Asia and I have arrived.

"Now then, I will have Asia make her début as a Devil starting tonight."

Oh! Seriously!?

"Eh?"

I say it to Asia who is puzzled.

"Asia, you will be having your actual début as a Devil from tonight! You are going to the contractors place through the magic-circle!"

"M-Me?"

Asia points to herself while panicking.

"Right, Buchou?"

Buchou nods to my question.

"Yes. Handing out the leaflets will end today. If I let it go on forever, it seems like the date between you two will continue even further."

Uwa. Please stop bullying your servants, Buchou. I'm feeling a bit embarrassed if Buchou says that to me.

Like the same time as my debut, Buchou draws the magic-circle of the Gremory-clan on Asia's palm. Thanks to that, you will be able to transport through the magic-circle.

"Akeno, check whether Asia has enough demonic-power to transport through the magic-circle."

"Yes, Buchou."

Akeno-san put her hand on Asia's forehead after Buchou orders her. A faint light appears from her finger tips, and it seems like she is reading something.

"We had the incident with Ise before, so we need to check properly. Though I don't think there will be a same problem."

I feel down after hearing Buchou's worry.

That's right. My debut as a Devil was awful. To use the magic-circle, you need a little bit of demonic-power. But I didn't even have that little bit of demonic-power at all.

Thanks to that, I couldn't transport through the magic-circle and I have to use a bicycle to go to the client which is something no one done before. Even now, I have to visit the clients by bicycle. This is hard to endure...

"Buchou, it's okay. There's no problem at all. More like, she has the most demonic-power after Buchou and me. Her potential capacity for her demonic-power is very good."

Buchou smiles at Akeno-san's report.

"That's good news. She can use her power as a [Bishop] to the fullest."

The [Bishop] Buchou just mentioned is Asia's role as a Devil.

The current Devils have rules that are based on the game of chess of the human's world for their servants. The Devil who is a master is a [King], and below them are the [Queen], the [Rooks], the [Bishops], the [Knights], and the [Pawns].

The system for the servant Devils that the current Devils uses, the [Evil Piece].

Previously, Buchou and others told me that long time ago, many Devils died against the War with God and the Fallen Angels, and this system was created to increase the forces of the Devils with having only small numbers of underlings in order to keep the balance against the other factions.

Each piece has its own traits that boost up the ability of a servant Devil.

Of course, by having Buchou as our leader who is also our master, we also have certain roles.

Akeno-san is a [Queen], Kiba is a [Knight], Koneko-chan is a [Rook], Asia is a [Bishop] and I am a [Pawn]!

At first glance, [Pawn] seems weak, but depending on the way you use it, it can even take down a [King]! That's what Buchou told me! I have to believe that since I am aiming to become the "Strongest Pawn".

Going back to the topic, since Asia has a high demonic-power, she has no problem transporting through the magic-circle.

Yup, looks like Asia began from a good start. I'm also satisfied with that.

Then Asia will also get along with her client and— .

Then I started to feel uneasy.

...What will happen to Asia who is kind to anyone and who doesn't know how the world goes around when she gets summoned by someone with lots of greed...?

Case 1

"Oh, what a cute Devil-san! Oh yeah! Please show me your panties! Please also show me your breasts!"

...That's bad.

Case 2

"Beautiful Devil-chan! Let me grope your oppai as much as I want in exchange for my life!"

...Asia's?

Case 3

"I will give you my life, so let me have sex with you till the night ends!"

...

"Ise, are you crying?"

Buchou looks into my face with a worried look.

"Buchou, no. It's a no!"

I shake my head to the side while having tears flow out of my eyes.

It's a no. That's right, no! It's Asia that we are talking about!? There's no way Asia is able to decline when some guy she hasn't met asks her a lecherous order!

Asia who is serious and passionate to her work will try to accomplish her work even by sacrificing her own body!

"Buchou! I feel uneasy if Asia goes alone~! If Asia~! I can't stand it if some weirdo asks some sick wish to Asia!"

Buchou seems a bit troubled after I approached her while crying.

"Ise, a request which is too lecherous for the Devils they summoned doesn't come to the servant Devils of the Gremory-clan. There are humans who request those kinds of wishes, so there are Devils who take those clients as their profession and requests like that goes to them. The jobs we take are safe, you know? Even Devils have areas that they are professional at."

"Buchou, you are telling the truth right? That's the truth, right? But still, I feel super uneasy!"

Buchou sighs after seeing me so worried about it.

"Alright. For a short time, I'll put you with Asia to support her. Are you satisfied with that?"

"T-Thank you very much! Asia! Let me handle the pervs! Asia, you can just make the contract normally!"

"Y-Yes."

I take Asia's hand, and make a sigh of relief.

Asia herself looks worried that she is causing trouble for me, but that's okay. I need to protect Asia. I even made a promise with Buchou, and I'm also worried about Asia.

I might be over protective towards her, but I want to look after her until she says, "I can do it by myself!".

You have to do these kinds of things until they get annoyed with you. I will protect Asia even if it makes her hate me.

"So then, if a request comes, Asia, you will transport through the magic-circle by taking Ise with you."

"Yes, I understand. Buchou."

After she confirms it, the big magic-circle on the floor glows.

Akeno-san who is in charge of the magic-circle starts to read the Devil's letters that appeared in a section of the magic-circle.

"Ara ara, there is a client trying to summon us, who wants to wish something that even Asia-chan can handle."

Hearing Akeno-san's report, Buchou smiles.

"That's very convenient. Asia can supply the demonic-power needed for teleporting through the magic-circle, and she can also support Ise who lacks demonic-power as well. Let's do it then."

Hmm, I was the one who is supposed to help her, but it looks like I'm the one needing the help... That's okay. I just need to watch over Asia doing her first job!

"Let's go, Asia!"

"Yes, Ise-san!"

Asia and I went towards the centre of the magic-circle after getting our spirits up.
