18. Cute Cat

This is the part where I'm saying I don't really remember dxd plots at all...

It's been like years since i read the light novel and anime so if i miss remember some ability then please tell me so i can fix it

Thank you~

<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >

After coming out of the portal, I could see that I was in the Occult Research Club room. Huh, feeling a bit nostalgic seeing all this because I still remember seeing this room when watching the anime.

But strangely, right now I could see Rias looking pouting while staring at me.

"Why did you suddenly pull me in like that!? Because you pulled me in, I ended up crashing into the chair I usually sit in when running the club."

"It's because you wanted to invite Ingvild to come to this school..." I responded to Rias, then started inspecting the room.

"What's wrong with that!? You know yourself that in the future, we need the power of Ingvild, so it's no problem if I invite her to join," Rias said while pouting then sat on her chair.

"I've already said since I and Sturm came to this world the future you see is not necessarily what will happen. It's all just if we both don't come to this world."

I then sat on one of the sofas and started to relax. I didn't have much of a goal other than waiting for my strength to fully recover so that Sturm and I could go back.

So, I really feel bored with all of this...

Maybe I will take Sturm on a date later so that at least the two of us can have fun in this world. Besides, apart from the supernatural beings, the technology in this world is similar to my world, so I could take Sturm to see the technology of this world.

Huh? I could feel someone approaching this place, but from what I felt, this person's Mana felt different compared to normal humans or devils.

"Hey, Rias, someone will be coming here shortly," I casually said to Rias.

"Someone? Maybe it's one of my peerage, possibly Koneko because she often comes here in the mornings," Rias replied.

I then turned to Rias because she had been sitting silently in her chair the whole time to see what she was doing.

Huh? It turns out she was trying to envelop her palm with her Power of Destruction, but the Mana she was using was too unstable, so Rias had been unsuccessful in doing so.

At least with this, she could practice controlling her mana usage to avoid wasting it when using her power.

After that, I heard the door open and a short girl with short white hair entered the room.

The girl was Koneko, or her real name Shirone due to her sister's misunderstanding she's using Koneko name instead of her real name...

Not gonna lie, I hate this kind of cliche where they don't tell you the truth because "it's for protecting you," like that doesn't make any sense...

Wouldn't they be better off protecting themselves if they knew what was going to attack them, or at least they could prepare themselves?

Maybe because Shirone is still young, Kuroka didn't want to burden her mind, but it ended up like this...

It's really a pain in the neck. I then shifted my gaze from the young girl because I wasn't interested in her.

But Shirone's eyes widened after seeing that her king had returned, "Buchou!"

She wanted to approach Rias, but when she saw me lying on the sofa, she immediately stopped.

"It's okay, Koneko, he is a guest, so you don't need to worry about him," Rias stopped trying to envelop her palm with the Power of Destruction, then stood up and instantly approached Koneko.

"Koneko, it's been weeks since I saw you, I missed hugging you so much," Rias immediately hugged Koneko tightly as she approached her.

Koneko who didn't expect Rias to move so fast, couldn't avoid the hug and she ended up in Rias's embrace with her head buried in Rias's breasts.

I can see Koneko struggling within Rias's embrace for a moment until I finally heard Koneko's voice saying, "Buchou... I can't breathe..."

Upon hearing that, Rias immediately released her hug, and she could see Koneko's face turn pale because she's can't breath. "Koneko!"

After that chaotic reunion, Koneko was now sitting on the sofa in front of me, staring at Rias but occasionally turning to look at me. Meanwhile Rias is sitting beside me. "Forgive me, Koneko, I left you all for several weeks without informing you at all."

"So... where did you go, Buchou? Did you leave with Lucifer?" Koneko asked Rias, sneaking a glance at me.

"I will explain it once everyone arrives. Akeno should be here shortly followed by Kiba and Xenovia, and ending with Issei and Asia. After that i can wake Gasper up" Rias said.

"Oh, by the way, my name is not Lucifer, it's Rei," I told Koneko.

"Rei? Your name is really simple for someone with that much power," Koneko said to me in an emotionless tone.

Oh wow, that's kind of hurt... that's the first time someone managed to hurt me since I came to this world...

"Koneko! Don't say that!" Rias scolded Koneko as she was afraid her words would offend me.

"It's okay, Rias, I won't be offended by words from the Midget..." I said to Rias while teasing Koneko.

I could see Koneko getting annoyed after hearing me call her a midget. "Who are you calling a midget!?" I heard Koneko raising her voice.

"Of course, the only midget here is you," I said.

"You!!!" Koneko seemed like she wanted to hit me but was holding back because my strength was much stronger than hers.

"Alright, both of you, stop it," Rias said to both of us.

"Hum!" Koneko turned her face to the side while pouting.

Huh, that's kind of cute... maybe if she uses her cat ears and cat tails, she would look even cuter.

I snapped my fingers, and Koneko's body suddenly began to change. I could see her cat ears and two tails starting to appear.

"Eh, Koneko, why are you using Senjutsu?" Rias was confused seeing Koneko suddenly transform.

Upon hearing what Rias said, Koneko panicked then tried to touch her head to feel her cat ears and indeed she was using her Senjutsu.

"What are you doing, Nya~!" Koneko looked extremely angry when she turned towards me, but hearing her say 'Nya' made her look more cute than fierce.

"I'm just using my power to make your body use your Senjutsu," I casually said to Koneko.

Koneko quickly jumped towards me, then pulled my collar and stared at me sharply. "Quickly stop what you're doing!"

I could see Koneko's eyes turning cat-like and her fangs appearing as she spoke.

"Koneko, what are you doing!" Rias stood up from her sofa, feeling panicked.

I just raised my left hand to signal Rias to remain silent and let me handle it.

"Gopherwood Ark." I used my technique to stop time.

Besides the three of us, everyone else in this world stopped, unable to move anymore.

"What happened!?" Rias could sense something happening and looked around her.

But she didn't have time to process what was happening because I grabbed Koneko's collar and threw her out of the window.

Koneko who was thrown out of window quickly adjusted her body posture to land safely.

After landing, she turned towards the club room to look for me, but unfortunately, I'm already behind her after her landing. "Where were you looking at?"

Koneko immediately jumped away from me, creating distance to keep me not too far and not too close to her.

Not too far, so I would be within the range of her attack and not too close so she could avoid my attack.

"Hmm, you have good instincts. Is it because you're a cat that your instincts are sharp like a cat?"

It would be easier if I gave her a vision of the future where she knew everything was just a misunderstanding with her sister.

"Grrr," I could only hear from Koneko... now she truly acted like an angry cat.

Seeing her like that reminded me of Ewiyar when she was angry because I didn't feed her...

[Ewiyar]

"Bring it on," I said to Koneko.

Upon hearing that, Koneko quickly moved towards me to attack. She attacked purely on instinct rather than planning as I was much stronger than her.

Koneko was now in front of me, swinging her fist at me, but I just needed to move slightly to the side to avoid her attack.

Seeing her attacks not landing on me, she started attacking me continuously without stopping, but unfortunately, her attacks were too slow for me.

"Come on, if you're that slow, you won't hit me, Midget," I said to her in the midst of avoiding her attacks.

"I'm not a Midget, Nya!!!" Koneko began to move her punches faster and faster.

I could see her body slowly being surrounded by a blue aura, hmm hmm so this the Touki I saw in the vision from Akasha.

Koneko's movements became more precise and quicker due to the aura that enveloping her. Her speed wasn't bad for someone who was just starting to use Senjutsu.

But that was still not enough to touch me because I could easily dodge all of her attacks.

"Stop dodging, Nya!" Koneko looked frustrated because her attacks hadn't hit me at all.

"That's your own fault for being too slow."

As none of her attacks landed, Koneko finally stopped and jumped back to create distance between us.

I could see Mana shifting into her hands, "What about this!" Koneko's hands were now shrouded in blue flames.

Koneko then continuously threw the flames at me without stop.

...This was even slower than her physical attacks. I just kept shifting slightly to avoid all of her fire attacks, but in the midst of dodging Koneko's fire attacks, I could see her creating a very large fire and then throwing it towards me.

Hmm that fire is not bad at all. I raised my right hand and directed it towards the fire heading towards me.

The fire then slowed down and eventually stopped in front of me. I then directed my hand upwards to throw the fire into the sky.

But after I tossed the fire, I couldn't see Koneko; she had disappeared from where she stood before. "Hmm, not bad at all."

I moved my head to the side to avoid Koneko's attack with her body enveloped in her Touki aura from behind.

But this time, I didn't just dodge. I caught Koneko's hand and slammed her down.

*Bam* The ground immediately cracked and crumbled after I slammed Koneko down.

"*Cough*" I could see Koneko coughing up blood after I slammed her down really hard.
