Fate DxD

Chapter 25

"Ahh, you weren't kidding when you said your dream is hard to have... Kiritsugu." I'm in my shed, working my magic circuits and making a fuss.

Pawn. That's my trait and role. A Pawn, that's the lowest role. Maybe I should have negotiated my role before accepting without saying anything... So I have to aim up from there... My road to become stronger starts by getting onto a rough road. By the way, there is someone else who is Rias's [Bishop].

"My [Bishop] already exists. But that [Bishop] is not here. The [Bishop] is at a different place, following a different order, working for me. If there is a chance, then I will introduce the [Bishop] to you." That's what she said.

So I was chosen as the left over [Pawn]. I have many difficulties to overcome. When I think about it, was I actually okay with this?

I was almost killed by two Fallen Angels because of Ddraig. She also used my feelings. Then after that, I was turned into a Devil. I've negotiated with Rias to stay with her team for only five years, but I have a feeling that won't be enough... Has she been lying to me?

I work my butt off every day as Rias's servant. Handing out leaflets. And making contracts. But my power is weak, so I can't use the magic circle to teleport to the customer. Something like this has never happened before, the worst Devil ever. That's me.

I breathed a little air. Come to think of it, I'm anything but normal, accumulating powers that ultimately prevent me from using them properly, if at all.

But my dream doesn't change, our dream. And becoming a devil will make it easier for me to reach it.

Wait, is turning into a Devil even a good thing? Well, if I haven't been saved by Rias back then, my life would have been over. Just like this, I don't have time to enjoy my youth. Well it's kinda... interesting, everyone is kind. Well, for a Devil, that is. You really can't judge people by their appearance.

Then I remembered the blonde sister, Asia. Then at her. Damn it, playing with my feelings... Yuuma-chan, I was starting to open up to you. Shit. Why is my life always controlled by something or someone else? Maybe that's how life works. A lot of things happen around me, so I have a feeling that I dragged myself into it.

Asia... Sister huh. The person who is standing on the opposite side of me. I probably won't meet her ever again. That girl will walk her own path, and I will walk my own path. We just happen to be the servant of a Devil and the servant of God. We just met by chance. We probably shouldn't see each other again. It might lead us to an unfortunate destiny.

"Aaaah, yes, yes, I'm just a weak [Pawn]. There's nothing good in me, so can I really be strong thanks to Rias..? What do you think, Maou-sama? Well, it's probably pointless discussing it with the Maou-sama, anyway." I laugh bitterly at myself.

My goal won't change, it can't change. But I'm going to have to take it one step at a time.

Sobbing time is over. I've turned into a Devil. That can't be changed. Then I will have to live on as a Devil but I will make my dream come true as a Human.

In one of the school gyms, I train with Haruko, under Fuji-nee's supervision. With our respective shinai, we exchange attacks. Having an aggressive style made to kill coming from Kiritsugu and facing a balanced fighting style as clear and limpid as water. Haruko doesn't give in, retaliating every time.
