Fate DxD

Chapter 131

"Wow! It's pouring here!" Mina exclaims, looking around. "We're in the storm zone, right?!"

"Hmm... it looks like it... But now we have another problem..." Koda points to a group of villains approaching them.

"Ugh, fighting in conditions like this is sure to give you a fever!" Mina exclaims. "Koda, what are your powers again?"

"Hmm... I can ask the animals for help, but with a torrent like this, it's going to be tough..." Koda explains, feeling helpless.

"Koda! Ashido! Over here!" Asia's voice rang out. "Come take cover!"

Relieved to see that they aren't alone, the two do as they're told and join their classmate in a dilapidated building, where they find Kaminari, who catches his breath

"Oh! Glad to see we're not alone!" he exclaims.

"Is everyone okay?" Asia asks, worried.

"Yes, thanks for asking, Asia..." Koda replies shyly.

"Hmph!" Suddenly, Mina wraps her arms around Asia, catching her off guard. "What were you doing alone with her, Denki! I hope you didn't try anything, otherwise!"

"Hey! What does that mean?!" Denki protests. "I have my principles, ma'am! I'm not a pervert like Usui or Mineta! Got it?!"

"Um... Guys..." Koda tries to step in, but he can't.

"Hmmm, yeah, right... But you're pretty close with them, aren't you?" Mina narrowed her eyes. "You can't pull that one on me, and anyway, you don't stand a chance."

"A-Ashido...?" Asia blushed suddenly.

"There are bad guys close by..." Koda whispers.

"Hmm?" Mina turns to Koda and her eyes widen. "Oh yeah, you're right—we're in deep trouble!"

"Um... What did you mean by 'no chance'?" Denki asks.

"Kaminari, now's not the time..." Koda sighs.

"Well... Our little Asia already has her eyes fixed on Senji, doesn't she?" she asks, letting go of the girl.

"What?! Is that true?!" Denki can't believe it.

"...I... I'll keep an eye out to see if they move..." Koda points to a windowless opening and heads toward it.

"Asia..." Denki approached her cautiously. "Is it true...?"

"..." Asia doesn't know how to respond, fiddling with her hair and shifting from side to side. "Could you keep that to yourself...?" she asks, blushing deeply.

"See?" She taps Denki on the shoulder. "No chance, buddy."

"Damn it!" Denki drops to his knees. "I understand... No, don't worry, Asia, I don't blame you. I respect your choice..."

"And here he goes, rambling on..." Mina sighs, before turning to Asia. "So, Asia, tell me everything about Senji."

"Guys..." Koda approaches them timidly.

"Huh?! Why?" Asia asks, embarrassed.

"Heh, let's just call it curiosity," said Mina, putting her arm around Asia's shoulders. "I know he's strong, handsome, and smart. But as a man, what's he like? You know what I mean? Is he kind, thoughtful, a bit of a scatterbrain, and so on..."

"You really have to ask her that in front of me... I'm hurting right now..." Denki has tears in his eyes.

"Don't act like you don't have any other options," Mina snaps, glaring at him. "You're going to have to learn to keep your voice down with your friends, no kidding."
