((Y/N)'s POV)

Today is the first day of summer vacation. When people think of summer, they'd probably think of beached and sunshines. But for me, this vacation will be hell.... quite literally....

After what happened, I returned back to my house before going here. Miss Akane was worried sick. She even called the police because of me. I felt bad about that, but to know that she cares that much feels quite rewarding. I don't feel good about leaving her for the summer, but she said that it's fine. She told me that she was going to visit an old friend.

??? : "hey (Y/N), what are you doing staring at the window ?" I was cut off from my thoughts as I felt a hand grabbing my shoulder. In turned to see Asia with a smile.

Me : "oh, it's nothing... just thinking about stuff..." I said as I faked a smile.

Asia : "oh, I thought you were feeing ill after what happened" she said with a worried look.

Me : "don't worry about me, I'm all set for this summer vacation" I said as I pat her head.

Asia : "but still, I never thought that we'll be going to hell aboard a train" hmm... this is pretty new to me too. I can't believe just how much has changed ever since the war ended. And now, here I am, sitting inside a magical train with Rias's peerage.

Akeno : "well this is a proper trip, and new devils are expected to go into the underworld through appropriate channels"

Me : "appropriate channels huh ? If only we had trains like this back then. It would definitely be a lot easier" I said as they all looked at me confused.

Rias : "what do you mean by that ?"

Me : "back then, crossing between worlds is quite a hard and not to mention, dangerous thing to do"

Rias : "wait, don't tell me that you fought in the underworld too"

Me : "of course we did, we go where our enemies were back then" as I looked at her, I could see that she's worried about something.

Akeno : "how did you manage to do that ?"

Me : "it was very difficult. People with magical abilities were needed from all over the world back then. And that was only to open a one way door" I could remember the day we opened that gateway. It was such a proud, yet horrifying moment. The feeling of achievement that we humans could be able to do things that gods and demons do....

That feeling was gone faster than it came. For we knew what was on the other side of that gateway.....

Death...

??? : "(Y/N)?" That voice pulled me back to reality.

Me : "huh ?" I looked at all of them to see that they're worried.

Rias : "are you okay ?"

Me : "I... I'm fine. Anyways, where was I ? Oh yeah, the gateway..." but before I could say anything else....

We will soon arrive at the Sitri domain terminal

Me : "wait, the Sitri domain ?" I said as the door suddenly opened.

??? : "hey guys!" I turned to see Sona and the Vice President along with Saji. I just hope that Sona has forgotten about what I said back then.

Rias : "good to see you, Sona"
