The cursed way (Highschool dxd x OC)

Chapter 14

Kuroka was nervous. Right now, she was sitting in front of Steve.

When he told her that he was dating her sister, Kuroka had lunged at him, trying to slash at him and all, only to find herself unable to touch him. After that, he calmly grabbed her fist and clenched it so hard that she yelled in pain. He then politely asked her to sit on the seat opposite to him, which she reluctantly did, as her feline instincts were telling her that this was a fight she would not win.

"So, I guess introductions are in order. I am Steve Gojo, a member, and Leader of Heroes-for-Hire. And as I said, I want to talk," he said as Kuroka's eyes widened.

'H-he's one of t-the best merc in the whole world! No... I just wanted to see Shirone,' she mentally cursed her fate, feeling that she wasn't going to come out of this alive.

"W-why talk to me? W-what do you want?"

"Why were you here today?"

"I-I just wanted to see Shirone nya! T-that's it!" she exclaimed.

"Oh, I see..."

"Hey, listen! Just let me see her once, and then you can turn me in or kill me or whatever... I-I just want to make sure she's okay..." she said, her heart beating so hard that she could hear it.

"Right, before that, I want you to answer this truthfully. Why did you kill your previous master?" he asked, leaning on the table and looking her in the eyes. Or that's what she thought, since she couldn't tell through his shades.

Kuroka didn't know what to say. Should she tell the truth? Or should she just go with the 'Truth' the investigation had come up with?

"I-I... I did it to save S-Shirone..." she stuttered, feeling the sheer pressure emanating from Steve crushing her.

"Save from what?"

"F-from master nya! H-he was experimenting on the peerage members and Shirone was next in line..." Kuroka said, shifting uncomfortably in the seat.

"Is there proof?" he asked, narrowing his eyes on her, though she felt the pressure reducing.

"I-I can show you! I know where the hidden lab is! I-it's hidden even from other members of the same clan! IF YOU WANT I CAN DRINK THE TRUTH SERUM!" she said, hoping Steve would believe her.

"...I believe you," he said as he stood up and walked to her, while she kept her eyes on him.

"I found you due to my eyes, they can see things kilometers away and through things, and detect even the slightest of magical energy and chi and stuff. I can also use it to differentiate truth from lies, kinda like a natural Lie Detector," he said as he approached her and hugged her.

"Thanks for saving Koneko..." he said as Kuroka was confused, though relieved.

"And sorry for all that you went through," he said as she reluctantly returned the hug. Though she had to admit it, it felt safe in his arms.

'H-he actually believes me nya!'

"Anyways, I want you to get comfortable. I'll be calling some people, but don't worry about that, and know that no one can harm you when I am here, so be calm when you see them," he said as he walked towards the other room.

"He smelled like flowers nya! That's a weird scent for a man, though it strangely suits him."

(Don't say anything, as soon as I saw that scene in which they assumed that a girl flirted with Megumin and Gojo showed up for the violin thingy, my brain automatically connected Gojo to flowers)

A few moments later, Steve came back as he took opened his laptop, and connected it to an invoice printer.

"A-ano, what are you doing nya?"
