25 Chapter 25 She is a good person.
"You can't do that Shin, she's an excommunicate nun. If the church found out about this, they would be in outrage." Rias informed Shin, but Shin wasn't looking to negotiate on the matter.
"I don't think you understand what I'm saying Rias," Shin said dangerously. "Here, let me put it in a simpler way. Not even NASA's new multimillion-dollar supercomputer could calculate how many fucks I don't give when it comes to who Asia used to be associated with." Shin said, causing the eyes of the ORC to narrow.
"The simple fact is that I already offered Asia my help, and I am not going back on my word. This has already been decided, and if you don't like it, then label me a stray." Shin said, the hidden threat his words obvious.
"Regardless of that, it is still risky. The only way I can think of avoiding the ire of the church would be to have her join my peerage." Rias said, stating her opinion on the matter.
"No," Shin said plainly, refusing to let Asia become a devil without her consent. If Asia wanted to become one, then very well. However, the choice was neither his nor Rias'. Shin may not be the best in terms of being a good person, but he still had his morals and self-rules he carried over from his past life. One of those self-rules being that he would not force anything upon anyone.
"Excuse me?" Rias asked, offended by Shin's immediate refusal.
"You heard me. It is Asia's choice and her choice alone when it comes to becoming a part of her peerage. However, she will not be forced into it. Now, Asia and I are leaving, I need to introduce her to my family. Your welcome to try and stop me, but I wouldn't recommend it."
After stating his stance on the matter, he stood up, taking Asia with him, and left the ORC. None of the members made any move to stop him, knowing they couldn't afford to at the moment.
After he left the ORC, he couldn't help but think how out of character what just happened for him was. This was the second time something like this has happened, the first time being when he pinned Rias against the wall the morning, he found out he was reincarnated into a devil.
He wasn't sure what the cause for these out of character actions. Whether it was something to do with his sacred gear, becoming a devil, or repressed emotions he did not know.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring you so much trouble." Asia said shamefully, feeling guilty for what had just happened. One could say that Asia is the cause for what just happened, but Shin did not fret over it.
"Don't worry about it, Asia. Despite Rias' words, she was just trying to turn the tables so that it favored her. After all, she is a devil that has been spoiled all her life. She most likely felt your sacred gear and wanted you to be in her peerage so it would become stronger. There was never really any danger with the church." Shin explained.
"Even if the church finds out about this situation, it wouldn't even matter. Since you are an excommunicated nun, they do not have any right to raise anything anymore. They cut all ties with you when you were excommunicated." Shin's explanation eased Asia's worries slightly, but she still felt as if she had been bringing a lot of trouble to Shin.
"However, don't get the wrong idea about Rias. She is a good person. However, due to a situation she has been put into by her parents, her greed oftentimes gets the better of her." Shin said to Asia, not wanting Asia to dislike Rias. After all, they would most likely be spending a lot of time with one another.
"Well, let's get going. I have to introduce you to my parents." Shin said as he started walking off. As soon as he got this whole situation with Asia out of the way, he could finally do what he had been wanting to do all day long, go and confront the fallen angels at the abandoned church.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The introduction of Asia to Shin's parents was, at the least, a memorable experience. Since Asia couldn't speak or understand a word of Japanese, he was the only one who understands what she said. Despite that, however, Shin's parents still welcomed her with open arms, as well as having Shin warn her about Issei and his perverted tendencies.
Then, since the Hyoudou's did not have a guest room or a spare room, Asia's options were either living in the attic or move in with either Issei or Shin. Considering the attic was full of insulation and only three feet tall, she chose to move in with Shin for obvious reasons.
After moving in all of her stuff, which was mainly just a bunch of clothes, Shin spent the rest of the day trying to teach Asia some Japanese so she could speak and understand important phrases.
Later in the day, Shin was called by Rias, saying she needed to show him something, which ended up being the stray devil Viser being killed. He was sure her hope was to insight some fear into him, the message basically saying this is what happens to strays.
Now, however, he was ready to do what he had been looking forward to all day. Looking at the full moon outside his window, his eyes closed as he released a deep sigh of content, knowing a lot of things were going to change after today.
"Are you going somewhere, Shin?" Asia asked from behind him in her sleepwear, a pair of blue pajamas.
"Yeah. I have something to take care of… Don't worry though, I'll be back before you know it." Shin said smiling, not wanting her to worry.
"Alright," Asia replied smiling as well.
(Scene Break)
After a few miles of walking, Shin arrived at his destination, somebody already there to welcome him. Sitting in a tree just a few meters away from him was a woman with the appearance of a young girl. Shin, however, knew her looks to be deceiving.
