The Esper Devil ( Esper OC X Highschool DxD )

Chapter 16 - Clearing things up

Part 1

It's the next day, I wake up and get ready to go to school

I spent a lot of time thinking about what to tell Rias and her peerage today.

I don't know what Azazel told them, but I hope that it was at least enough to make them not want to kill me. I know it might be asking a lot though, since I almost did it exactly that to them

"Oh..."

Speaking of the devil, literally, Rias' group was standing on the front gate of the school as I approached it, I think about turning back, but it's useless, I'll have to talk to them sooner or later

"...erm...Hi"

I awkwardly greet them

"Hi..."

I don't know what to say, so I'll do the only thing I know I have to.

"I'm sorry!"

I bow towards them

"Azazel and Liliana-san explained everything to me, I didn't knew, I'm really sorry"

Rias comes forward and puts her hand on my shoulder

"It's fine"

I lift my head to look at her

"Really?"

She nods

"Azazel explained everything to us, you thought that the members of the Hero faction were your hero friends right?"

"Yes, but now I know the truth, I am sorry"

I say as I return to my normal posture

"Don't worry, you are not the first ally who tried to kill us first anyway"

Issei says while smiling, did they really went through that many life or death situations?

"But I would like you to come to our club this afternoon so we could talk better about it, is that okay?" - Rias asks me

I nod my head

"Yes, I think it would be the best if I could explain myself to all of you"

"So, we'll see you later, goodbye, Kageyama-kun"

"See you in class then, Kageyama-kun!"

Issei waves and walks off with Rias and her friends

I also walk towards the highschool building, but as I'm in midway, I notice three familiar faces looking towards me

It's the two boys and the girl that invited me to eat with them the other day

I walk towards my three new friends

"Hi!"

"Hey Tatseyo, thought you were gonna ditch us for the popular crew"

"Hahaha! I only had a thing to talk with Rias, I'm not on their level yet"

"You seemed awfully familiar with them..."

Kanae says with a suspicious face

I smile at her

"Actually, I beat the shit out of them until they became my friends"

She sighs at my answer

"If you don't wanna answer us it's fine, just don't say such a creepy thing while smiling"

"Hahaha, sorry"

I say while scratching the back of my head, it's not a total lie you know.

"Let's go Tatseyo, we're gonna be late like that" - Eizo speaks
