Fate DxD

Chapter 17

Later in the night.

"............" Buchou is angry. She's lifting her eyebrow and she didn't say a single word.

I'm standing in front of her and my face is pale. This afternoon, I played No Man's Sky with my client and ended the evening with it.

"This kind of case has never happened before." Oh yeah, Kiba said something like this with a bitter smile earlier.

"...Senji." The tone of her voice is deep and scary.

"Yes."

"You talked about video games with the customer, and what happened next? What about the contract?" She came straight to the point. I have sweats coming out of me.

"T-The contract became invalid... We played the game till midnight."

"...After the contract, we ask the client to fill in the questionnaire on the leaflet we gave them. We ask the client, "How was your contract with a Devil?". The questionnaire which is filled appears in this leaflet, but... "Buchou shows the paper with the feedback for the questionnaire to me. So there's a thing like that, huh. Devils job are more complex than I thought.

"...[It was fun. It was my first time having a good time like this. I would like to meet with Senji-kun again. I hope I can make a good contract with him next time]... This is the questionnaire filled by the client."

My chest became hot. Morisawa-san... I wasn't able to do anything, but you...

"This is the first time I received a feed backlike this. I wasn't sure what to do first. That's why I put on a weird expression because I didn't know how to react to this."

Rias isn't mad? She has a puzzled expression, but she then smiles.

"But it's interesting. That is certain. There wasn't any Devil like you, but you really are an interesting boy. You might become the number 1 Devil for unexpected things. But remember to do the basics. You make contracts with the clients, you grant their wish, and then you receive the price. Okay?"

"Yes! I'll do my best."

Tuesday, November 8, 2022.

I'm on my way home from school. Normally, I would have stayed to take part in the Maken-ki club activity, but...

"You're still recovering Senji-kun, so you can go home now." Furan orders me.

"Hmm, but it's been 2 weeks now..."

"No buts, rules are rules!"

So here I am, dragging myself home. The heat is back, and it's not even going to last 3 days. What a strange climate change.

Still wanting to enjoy the warmth, I take a long detour. I arrive near the river that divides Fuyuki in two, the Mion River.

As I was about to take a path up towards the dwellings, I saw a child who had fallen into the river, with children panicking all around and no adults nearby. I dropped my bag and jumped into the water, swimming quickly to catch the drowning child.

I managed to catch her and snuggled her up against me. As the current is light, I can easily get close to the edge and bring the child up.

I hear adults and children shouting the little girl's name, as she catches her breath. One of the men reaches out and helps me up.
