Summoned Together (Highschool DXD x Male reader)

Chapter 5

You returned home, it was quiet tonight; the TV had long since been switched off, the oven had gone cold from hours of unuse, the lights took a few seconds to turn back on when you flipped the switch and not a single sound was heard throughout the house. You set your bag down by the door, dropping it and slipping your shoes off before heading in fully and peeking your head into the kitchen- sat on the table was an opened letter, one that was plainly addressed to you; there was no reason for anyone to have opened it so you shuffled towards it having planned on leaving it before noticing it was opened. You hovered over the letter, a cold chill rippling down your spine as your fingers brushed against the paper; you flipped it open, preparing yourself to read what was inside before seeing it's actual contents and yet what you actually saw inside the letter was a kanji, the symbol for self that resembled a backwards 5 or S- it was strange to see a letter openly addressed to you and yet only holding a symbol for self. You discarded the letter, crumpling it and tossing it in the trash before heading upstairs- you needed to turn in for the night in case you ended up tired in the morning and slept in.

The house was still quiet as you headed to the second floor, the stairs didn't creak or chitter when you stepped on them and not even a breeze littered the halls as you reached the top- the door to your room was open just a crack and the light slithered through that same gap into the hall, there was someone in there. Was it a family member waiting to speak with you? Had someone broke in? Was it Issei and Rias? You had too many questions to keep going over them in your head so you decided it would be best to walk forwards and address whatever awaited you in a place you were so familiar with, after all it was your home. You approached the door slowly, sneaking around the place you lived of all things, you began to hear voices from inside your room; two were recognisable as Issei and Rias and two were not familiar, an older man and woman who both spoke softly but with stern motif. You finally stood between the people who sat in your room and the hallway where you remained safe- you mustered up courage and swung the door open catching the awaiting devils inside by surprise.

You: " Considering the fact I have just spoke to the police earlier today about the blackmail and assault Rias, I would love to know what you're doing waiting for me in my room because this would be a lovely new photo for the evidence folder "

You said, already holding your phone in hand; the light switched on which indicated you were recording- they stared at you, Issei and Rias by the bed and two adult looking figures stood by the closet- the adult man seemed to look a lot like Rias with a goofy looking cape that could be mistaken for shitty cosplay and a woman with white hair that looked like she works at a maid cafe.

Rias: " Let's not be hasty, we came to speak about that incident after all so we can talk "

You: " Talk? oh yes let me agree to a friendly chat with the psycho who attacked me and attempted to force me into her little cult and then tried to ruin my school life with a rumour since she couldn't get her way "

Unknown man: " That was not the story you told me Rias, if what he says is true there will be harsh punishment especially from the higher ups; killing a human in the attempt of making them a devil without permission is a criminal charge "

Rias: " He's lying! You know I wouldn't ruin our family's name by pulling such underhanded tactics "

You: " Residual mana, you know what that is right? I only had the information recently pop into my head after you killed me but it lingers on wounds caused by magic for up to a week even after healing right, if you have the ability to sense or feel magic you should be able to feel the area of mana where Rias blew a hole through me, the size of the area should indicate it wasn't a small wound "

Unknown man: " He's right unfortunately, I can sense the mana he's talking about- Rias this is a huge scandal if this get's out our family will be shamed "
