Unexpected gains

He felt really depressed since he woke up, he did not know if they had really stopped watching him or not...

It was the trouble of being weak, so he promised to make himself strong so that no one would bother him again.

He decided to believe a little in Grayfia so he went to classes, as usual, today he was totally different from the previous days his Aura was suppressed and many children looked at him differently, they were no longer afraid.

He felt he was in a zoo, but at least it was better than when they fled, although nobody came to talk, he did not worry much, he went to class and sat in his seat.

As always, Ryuta was here very early and sat next to him.

"Hey!! Dude, have you changed your look? You look different."

"Not at all. What's that on your hands?"

"Oh, I found it lying on the street. Do you want to keep it?"

He took it and looked at the book that was old and barely legible, but he still put it in his backpack and soon he would give it a read.

"Are you ready for Saturday?"

"What for?" He asked confusingly.

"Oh, come on, did you forget? I invited you to my father's party."

"..." He had really forgotten it, he had so many things to worry about that he didn't remember agreeing to go.

"Did you really forget?"

"Jejejejejej... Calm down if I go"

"... friend or enemy?"

"Seatmate"

"Bastard!"

The following classes were, as usual, they were both very friendly and he took it equally, it was very mature also in regard to the academics, they both always fought for the first place, which was satisfactory for him, since these subjects were very easy, but Ryuta completed them by winning a hundred equal points..

In sport, the two were always at the top of the class, which gave both of them the confidence of the teachers, in addition to the nickname 'Combo Duo', which was embarrassing.

When it was lunchtime, he sat down to eat with Ryuta, but his [Magical Perception] could feel that Irina was watching from the door and seemed nervous.

He knew why, so he walked towards her.

"Do you want to go in or do you plan on staying like a tree, standing there?"

"Who are you calling a tree? Of course, I was going to go in alone... I was looking at the pictures at the door" He laughed at her cheap excuse.

He took her hand and brought her to his table.

Irina had blushed, he rejected her and then told her that if they grew up, she would propose again and maybe accept... Wasn't that to say that they would undoubtedly be a couple?

"Oh... Irina-san, would you like to eat with us?" Ryuta asked with a smile as Yukio took the little girl's hand.

"Un..."

"Do you mind Ryuta?"

"Comrade, nothing bothers me!" As simple as ever, that was what Yukio liked most about him.

So the three of them sat down to eat together and talked about games or series, that were common among the three of them because Ryuta always brought a lot of series that we shared with each other.

Sometimes Yukio looked at Irina, he was happy to have her by his side.

At least for now, but he would start to feel a little empty once she moved to England, but it's necessary.

Because when she returns, she would bring one of those Excalibur and he needed them for his future plan.

---

It was late and everyone left school, usually, parents came to pick up their children, but since he proved to be very mature, they stopped coming which gave him confidence.

As for Issei, he always went with Katase and his companions

After a while, Yukio started walking with Irina, who lived in the same direction.

"Irina-chan"

Irina shuddered at the way she was called and looked back to see a mocking smile from Yukio.

"What?"

"You really are a pretty girl"

"Y- You !" Her face warmed up and she thought of running, but someone took her hand and she saw who he was.

-Is this guy making fun of me?-

"Can we go holding hands?" With the best pleading look he could do, he spoke with her.

She could not say no, anyway she wanted to take his hand, this meant that it was true, in the future they could be a couple ...

"Yes...." She replied quietly and they kept walking together.

It's not that he was a pedophile, it was that he really had too much love and wanted to spend time with her, he was very sentimental with his loved ones, the one he loved the most was his older sister, he wanted to strengthen himself quickly to see her again.

--- POV Irina

Irina, on the other hand, was very happy to be by his side, holding hands. The first time we saw each other, I was very scared of him, but with the time we talked, I realized that he was very kind to me. I did not understand why I was afraid of him first.

After a while, I started to see him as an affectionate older brother.

But fate had a different plan for me because I ended up feeling greater affection for him and had not planned to tell him, but my father told me that we would soon leave and I did not know when I would be back, I had to do it now and that's where my confession came from.

I felt a little hurt when he did not accept my confession.

I may just be a child, but my feelings are absolutely real.

-When I come back, I will be with him no matter what.-

We arrived where the road is divided, this was where we had to say goodbye, we both looked at each other and I could see his eyes fixed on our hands and had an expression of resignation, it made me feel happy but we had to go back to our homes.

Yukio: "* sigh * Then I'll see you tomorrow Irina-chan."

"Un... Be careful."

Yukio: "Yes, you too, will we eat together again?"

"No problem hehe."

Yukio: "See you tomorrow!"

I saw Yukio leave and decided to also leave, but not without hearing a sudden shout.

Yukio: "Irina-chan! I love you!" Then he escaped very quickly, it surprised me, and my face got hot, I could not help but smile when I turned around muttering.

"There are too many people here ... Idiot."

---POV Grayfia---

I had told him that I would not be watching him anymore, but it turned out that I told him a little lie, after all, we did not know if he was reliable and he wanted to assure me, but many events surprised me ...

This child was really human, his parents were normal workers and without magic, they also seem to have no knowledge of what their child does.

Also in school, he was a good student having only one friend and from the girl with whom he just said goodbye I could see that his relationship with her was not just friendship.

In the end, I had been watching him find out how strong he was at such a young age but he only exercised normally which I found strange also that he never fought against wandering demons again.

"Shall I pay him a visit?" I couldn't avoid my curiosity at the end and I looked for him again in his room.

The scene was like the previous one... Was he afraid of me? I introduced myself again anyway.

"Yukio-sama"

"Were you sent to keep an eye on me again?.... Grayfia...-san?"

I could tell that he was looking for my approval on how to name myself, which I didn't really care about and just nodded.

"No, I actually wanted to ask you, why you didn't take care of the wanderers outside."

Yukio: "Do you mean those who escaped from home?"

Grayfia: "You're right, these days they have been very active" After everyone found out that the supposed Demon Slayer disappeared their numbers had increased.

Yukio: "I can't, it would really be impossible for me. Since that battle, there are many demons, angels and fallen angels at least in the middle ranks trying to investigate what happened."

Actually what he was saying was true I have been feeling the auras around me and quite possibly with any fuss they will go like bees to honey but I had an idea.

Grayfia: "In this case, what about if I accompany you? I will not bother anyone in the battles, but I will keep anyone who tries to get close away."

Immediately I could see how his eyes shone with my words.

-This child ... Is he a lover of battles?-

Yukio: "That's enough! When are we going?"

I could see that he was quite impatient, he reminded me of my little sister-in-law when she found a toy.

Grayfia: "At midnight I'll come to look for you."

Yukio: "Then I will wait for you" I could see a sincere smile, this guy was quite simple, quickly I left. I actually had to report this to King Lucifer.

----

It was already midnight when I was next to the child and we were on a roof, this little one seems quite cheerful and energetic.

-Was it because he could not fight all this time?-

Yukio: "Can I go?" He anxiously asked me.

Grayfia: "Yes, I will hide in the shadows, remember I will not help you in your battle, losing or winning, your life is in your hands" He simply nodded and ran.

I followed him for a few minutes while jumping over the ceilings.

I assured him that if someone approached, I would send my aura to get the approacher away, it was very easy with my rank.

I soon realized that the boy met a demon, he was mid-rank and I thought he would only look for the lower ranks anyway, I watched him closely, apparently, he loves the fight ...

I saw how his fight began. It was quite impressive he dodged very well several fatal attacks leaving only small cuts of the sword of the demon to touch him, I had noticed his healing before but to see him now was ridiculous, in a matter of minutes his wounds were closed.

His martial arts went very well with those two silver gloves that he had on his fists, each blow was devastating and, along with his speed ability, made the demon have a difficult time, I could hear his voice from afar.

Yukio: "COME ON!" "Can not you do more?" "Give me your best shot." "I want to experience!"

"Experience?" Was he asking for experience? In that case, what he was talking about was that he wanted to learn to fight... Definitely, this boy loved battles.

---

Then I could see how he was fighting several demons and they fell at his feet, this made me want to give him a nickname at least I'll first talk to Lord Lucifer...

So four hours passed, and during this time thirty demons and ten fallen angels lost their lives.

I really did not care, they were not my people and they were just fugitives ...

I saw him trying to look through the ceilings, I think he was looking for me, so I showed up and he approached me with a big smile.

Yukio: "Thank you Grayfia-san!"

He thanked me so honestly, I suppose he felt repressed but... His aura was stronger now he also felt different.

Grayfia: "You have nothing else to do now?"

Yukio: "Not really, I have plans, it's already four in the morning, I have to go to bed to attend classes. What about you?"

Grayfia: "I will return to the underworld. Would you like me to send a message to King Lucifer?"

I saw him think for a moment and he turned to me.

Yukio: "Just tell him I don't really have any enmity with him, I just want to live freely."

I was speechless ... Any enemy would say that he would not have enmity and then stab him in the back, but seeing his sincere look, I knew it's true, so I really took it seriously.

I was going to turn around to leave, but he talked to me.

Yukio: "Grayfia-san Would you accept this?"

He takes out a small red sphere that looks like a candy, but I could feel some kind of energy inside, I looked at it with a confused look.

He could see my expression of 'And what the hell is that?´

Yukio: "This is a demonic refining pill, it will help the one who eats it to absorb the mentioned energy. I recommend you to do it in the underworld where it is full of demonic energy".

Once again I was speechless for the first time since I was born, I never heard of a pill like that ... I had doubts.

Grayfia: "Is it really like you say?"

Yukio: "Why would I deceive you?" I saw him shrug his shoulders and letting go of an honest smile so I didn't care about his words.

I stretched my hand and received the pill, I felt some compressed energy inside.

Grayfia: "Is it safe?"

Yukio: "100% Safe, I advise you to use it wisely".

Grayfia: "May I know where you got such a pill?"

Yukio: "Can I keep my business secret?" I saw him scratching his head with an awkward expression that I could not help but smile a little at his behavior that looked a bit like Sirzechs.

Grayfia: "Well, I'll trust you, I'll see you later Yukio-sama"

Yukio: "Leave that, sama is really hard to digest"

Grayfia: "Do you find it difficult?"

Yukio: "Very difficult just call me Yukio at least"

I smiled at his suggestion, he was a very funny child.

"Well, little Yukio, I'm leaving." I opened the portal to the underworld, then I saw him greeting me and I returned the gesture the only thing I had in mind.

Now I'll talk to Lord Lucifer to introduce him to the Gremory heir, maybe I can make him her subordinate.

--- Yukio POV ---

When I saw the departure of Grayfia, I went immediately to my house, it was already four o'clock and the sun would come out soon, at least I wanted to rest a little.

In fact, with my speed it did not take long to get there, anyway I was close and I went to bed while checking the system.

I couldn't help but have a smile when I saw my great harvest.

"I really have Grayfia to thank for her help."

The achievement of getting 8,423 chips was really exciting because before I was in misery but suddenly I earn enough.

"I'm tempted to tell her to help me again, hehe if possible."
