The Esper Devil ( Esper OC X Highschool DxD )

Chapter 5 - Next steps

Part 1

I followed her through almost all buildings and facilities of the campus, this place is even bigger than it looks like!

She tells me about the time the places are open, where I can go and when. She's a real handful, for a demon that is.

When our tour ends, the sun is almost setting

"That's all Kageyama-kun, hope you'll enjoy it here!"

Turns out it wasn't a trap, in fact, I don't even think she knows I'm an esper

"Thanks for bearing with me, I'm really grateful"

"You're welcome, if you have any questions please feel free to contact the student council."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely..."

Suddenly, I remember something.

Oh no!

"Please tell me what time it is!"

She makes a confused expression and looks at her watch

"Hum? It's almost..."

This late?!

CRAP! I gotta run!

"Sorry, but I have an important appointment to attend, thanks for everything!"

I bow towards her and dash outside

Oh wait...

I dash back and ask her

"Do you know where the nearest store is?"

"Hum? There's a convenience store close to the school, you just have to turn right at the school gates, cross the street at the stop sign and follow all the way"

"Thank you!"

I run towards the store as fast as I can.

It's right there! Now I'm mentally praying

Please don't be sold out, please don't be sould out!

I go inside the store, walk to the counter and make my request as clearly as I can

"Sir, give me this month's edition of Jojolion!"

...

The cashier looks at me quizzically

"... Boy, Jojo only comes in tomorrow, what day are you in?"

What?

I look at the calendar behind him

HOLY SHIT! I got the wrong day!

"Look, come here tomorrow morning, then I might have it for you"

I'm disappointed, I honestly thought it was out today...

"S-sorry, I'll just have something to drink then..."

I leave the store and make my way home, still sad about it...

Since I was a kid, "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" is one of my favourite series.

Mom and dad never really liked it, but they were never bothered by it

The thing I always loved the most is that, despite their amazing powers, they never rely on it alone, all stand users use their intelligence and skills to make the most out of their powers and even a villain that seems harmless at the beginning can turn out to be a great threat depending on how he uses his abilities.

I'm a simple guy when it comes to battle, so I don't know if I would be able to elaborate a complicated battle strategy

I also kinda envy the protagonists, I wish I could be brave like Jonathan, smart like Joseph, cool like Jotaro, funny like Josuke or, well, you get the picture...
