DXD: Queen of Angels?

Chapter 13 : Explanation?

Change of POV: Shirou.

I stared at Issei, contemplating on how to answer his question.  But we got interrupted by none other than Miki.

"Here boys. Enjoy, I will go to my room to take more of my much more needed sleep." She said as she walked up into living room bringing one bottle of Coca Cola, two glasses and one plastic plate full of chips with her.

In turn I took glasses and bottle of Coca Cola from her while Issei took plate.

"Ne, Miki-San thank you."

"Thank you mom! Do you need me to wake you up at 4 PM today too?"

"Oh that would be great dear! Goodbye boys!" Was last she said before walking off.

For a moment I thought to claim myself to be exorcist, but I squashed that idea as it appeared. I'll be blunt and honest, hope he consumes it right.

As I opened my mouth to proclaim my identity. Something interrupted it, or rather someone. 

A light 'escaped' from my chests before hurling at Issei and stopping in front of his face. This obviously caused him to take two steps back in surprise.

The same particles of light decided to increase in size before materializing and shaping itself.

Several moments, a familiar figure has taken place from where those particles of light were shaped. 

Change of POV: No one's

Ludociel in his full might, in his holy golden armor with fourteen wings on his back outstretched across the entire room, showcasing his dominance and authority over Issei.

Issei's primal instincts as Devil surged him forward to run, to escape from the person in front of him, to run away as far as possible from this man. No, this Angel that is radiating light around the whole room. 

But Issei in response just gritted his teeth in annoyance at feelings he is experiencing. And despite still not being at level where he can use magic, he still somehow feels LARGE difference between him and this man. 

But he defied his entire being to stand upright in front of this Angel, while casting a small look at Shirou, it's obvious. This Devil thinks of Shirou as his friend and is not willing to let it's own instincts dictate it's friendship only to survive and leave it's own one and true friend that is still with him here.

Call it. Primal Fear.

Ludociel just clicked with his tongue in response, while his eyes are in his ever-closed state. But  he is still casting a gaze that can be translated as 'impressed'. Impressed that newly Low-Class Devil managed to defeats it's own instincts. Just to 'not run' and leave his 'friend'.

Ludociel is impressed, way impressed. Maybe this Devil is actually worthy of being in Supreme Deity's presence..

But one abrupt hand found it's way on Ludociel's right shoulder.

"That is enough of terror for him, pull your presence away for his sake, Ludociel." Spoke Shirou, it's not an order, it's a request which Ludociel was more than happy to oblige. After all, every word from Supreme Deity is a Heavenly Law in his eyes.

After split of an second, 'slight' presence of Ludociel that occupied living room retreated back to it's owner.

"A-an Angel..." Muttered Issei as he stood his ground in front of imposed Archangel who radiated power beyond his comprehension  just moments ago.

"No. " Spoke Ludociel firmly. " Not just an Angel, i'm Archangel. Guardian of The God and also leader of the Four Archangels. I'm Ludociel." Introduced Ludociel himself while simultaneously bringing his right hand over his chest. 

"G-god?" At that Shirou rolled his eyes before Issei finally looked at me in eyes, but not before wincing slightly at pronouncing 'God'. 

Typically saying God would not hurt a Devil, but thinking of Abrahamic God would. After all, this world is populated by thousands of Gods and not every God is against Devils..

"Yes. Technically I am the God of The Bible. As you asked, that is how I'm part of the Supernatural." Answered Shirou unasked question before dropping down on couch, followed by Ludociel walking behind Shirou along Issei who sat down too with his face full of disbelief. Issei winced again of course.

Issei decided to do something very common in Isekai/Reincarnation moments.

He first pinched himself just in case.

It did not work. 

So he slapped himself, it too did not work.

"This sounds like a load of crap!" Proclamation caused Ludociel to narrow his eyebrows and just as he opened his mouth to retort, Shirou motioned him not to while also telepathically telling him.

~Ludociel, do not antagonize him. ~

~But Supreme Dei-~

~Ludociel, he got turned into Devil just three days ago, Try to understand his situation just a bit. You were also 'born' three days ago too. And more or less, he is not gonna believe that I, his childhood friend is suddenly a God his whole life. Everything will come out slowly, but let me deal with this at first.~

~But that disrespect!~

At that, Shirou's lips turned into small smile before he replied.

~He is my childhood friend, he can do so. Let him cope a bit more. I will reveal it but let him have some peace more. Several minutes will suffice for him to comprehend this situation.~

Several seconds in simple silence. 

Allowing Issei to process such large and life changing news he heard about his friend.

But yet, how can he just simply believe something so easily? Just to bend his knees? With determination now set on his soul, he turned around to meet Shirou's eyes before starting a staring contest.

This lasted for ten seconds before Issei asked.

"Prove me that you are my friend and not someone who pretends to be him!"

At that simple statement, Ludociel scoffed while still remaining silent not daring to interrupt Supreme Deity anymore.

Shirou's eyes were filled with amusement because he knew what exactly he needs to say to prove his identity.

"Suppose I should mention some of your embarrassing moments to prove it was me who was there with you at time they happened." It was not a question but statement. "Then what about the one when you pissed yourself when we had sleepover ten years ago? What about your love confession to Anase? What about your obsession with that blue haired girl Akasa? What ab-"

But Shirou's words were cut off by Issei who decided to leapt on him to stop him from talking further. Key word 'tried' before Shirou simply dodged by jumping from his place on the couch.

Should it be mentioned that Issei trusts that the person in front of him is actually Shirou by his reaction?

Nevermind.

"Ok, Ok! I believe you! There is no need to continue further !" He screamed while he motioned with his hands around in exasperation.

"~HAHAHAAHAHAHHA~" Shirou laughed aloud while holding his stomach in mock pose.

A tick mark appeared on Issei's head, usual friendship be like.
