Fate DxD

Chapter 14

Monday, October 24, 2022.

"That's what happened yesterday, after that, Shiria didn't let go of me for the rest of the day. It was exhausting in every way." I explain to Shiki what happened after we parted.

"Exhausting? Honestly, you're popular with the bombshells and you manage to complain? I must admit I don't understand." Usui said mockingly, followed by nods from Motohama and Matsuda.

"Well, there's a lot of work going on at Maken-ki, I see." Shiki remarked, her neutral tone unmistakable.

"Let's just say that Friday was an exceptional day..." Inaho tries to socialize with Shiki, but you can tell it's hard for her.

"Come on everyone, back to your seats!" Tomika Amato-sensei enters the room with a familiar face.

"Hello! I'm Shiria Ootsuka! From today until some time in the future, we'll be studying together! Nice to meet you!!"

Suddenly, the class is in an uproar.

"What?! It's not true!?"

"The idol of all America who has just arrived in Japan... Shiria Ootsuka!"

"In the flesh!"

Then it was Usui's turn to be surprised.

"It's coming back to me, I knew she looked familiar!"

"Is she that famous?" I ask, having very little interest in the press.

"As you can see! But she's nothing compared to Himegami-senpai! She's not as cute!" Usui comments.

Suddenly, my gaze and Shiria's meet, then she moves quickly towards me before sitting on my lap and taking me in her arms.

"Sen-ji-kun! To be together in the same class, isn't that the work of fate?" She said, our faces much too close together.

"Um, can you..." I can't finish my sentence seeing the look on the boys' faces in the classroom.

"Sen-ji... The bastard collects them!"

"Maybe we should discuss this in more detail with our hands!"

"Come on buddy good luck!" Usui said, laughing.

"Senji-sama!" Inaho is worried.

As the guys approach to try and hit me, Shiria pivots on my knees to face them.

"Don't be angry! If you dare touch one of Senji-kun's hairs... you'd rather not know the rest!" She said with a wink.

This calms everyone down, and the class resumes its rhythm.

During the break, Shiria returns to my lap without me being able to say anything, which irritates Inaho, but shy as she is, she can't say anything. And I can also see Shiki's discreet glance towards us. Seeing that I have no control, I prefer to change the subject.

"So, where's the rest of your gang?"

"Hmmm? Oh, well Lilu and Aililu, the two little twins, are in the same class as Kodama and Kimi. Yan Min is in thesame class as Azuki and Demitra is with Haruko." Explain Shiria.

"Huh. Talk about a mix, it's going to be explosive with Azuki and Yan Min." Usui commented.

"So the twins are in second grade? I wouldn't have guessed." I think out loud.
