9 Date with a Cute Fallen

Everything was fleeting.

After that incident with Akeno, Kamijou was treated as an absolute evil by not just his classmates, but the entire boys. Apparently, they didn't appreciate he touched something beyond their reach.

Rias Gremory and Akeno Himejima.

They were known as the Kuoh Academy's Two Great Ladies. Basically, they were known as the most beautiful girls in Kuoh Academy. Because of that, they had a huge fan base, both boys and girls included.

Why was that so? The answer was pretty simple to be honest. They were beautiful seniors with sexy bodies so everyone was happy. Who wouldn't like a hot gal? But there was a problem.

What would happen if a certain boy was fortunate enough to grab one of those girls melons? What will become of hopes and dreams of their followers?

Wouldn't their dreams be scattered? It was as if they just watched a exotic tape where their favourite idol was getting pounded over by a huge, muscular man or a ugly, fat bastard.

Of course, they will be upset and jealous. So how were they going to voice out their displeasure? Harassment. From that moment on, the passionate followers of Akeno started harassing Ryuji Kamijou.

Chasing him around the school, glaring at him during class, hiding his belongings and some people even considered taking embarrassing photos of him but reconsidered. They didn't want to take things too far so Kamijou was fortunate to that regard.

In any case, he was the Number One Public Enemy of the boys. Was this what it was like to be popular? Kamijou thought. He felt like a terrorist being chased around the world. Saji even made a joke about it much to his misfortune.

Remembering those sad events, Kamijou released a depressed sigh.

(Here I thought my life couldn't get any worse. As if the daily misfortunes I have to experience everyday wasn't enough, I'm now being treated like an absolute evil by both boys and girls. The universe really knows how to kick me when I'm down, huh?)

He took a glance at his left hand. All of this was caused by that hand. Akeno fell on top of him and he accidentally grabbed one of her huge assets. He can remember that pleasant feeling.

The softness and that wonderful feeling of pliable elasticity! The feeling of feeling a gal's titties for the first time. Although it happened before an accident, he still felt he was fortunate. After all, there was no way someone like him would feel something that amazing.

At this point, his mind started wondering into places it wasn't supposed to and a strange expression formed on his lips.

...No! Away horny thoughts!! Right now!!

When he realised what was happening, he slapped both of his cheeks at the same time in order to snap out of that perverted thought. He was outside so he didn't want people to get the wrong idea.

It was Saturday, 11 : 35 am.

Kamijou was standing near the fountain located at the entrance of the mall while pressing his phone. He was currently wearing his favourite white jacket along with a black shirt underneath, black pants and white shoes.

Normally, he wouldn't be standing here in the first place but a sudden change in his life made him to do so. Some time ago, a cute girl asked him out and they have been going out ever since.

Today was they agreed to go on a real date.

But that didn't mean that Kamijou magically obtained a girlfriend. He would have to possess all the luck in the world for that to happen

His supposed girlfriend, Yuuma was secretly a fallen angel named Raynare and had a questionable personality.

He didn't know the true objective behind this date. Was she trying to check if he was a threat their race or was she simply using him as her plaything? If he used the info got from the original series, it was probably the former. But,

(Is it safe to assume she is evil just because I read about her from a book? For all I know this story might be different from the main DxD Universe. After all, she approached a side-character like me. That alone is diverting from the main plot.)

Kamijou thought to himself. From his memories, Raynare was supposed to invite the protagonist on a date and kill him. That was when Rias was summoned by Issei's thoughts and reincarnated him as a devil. Then, the plot kicked off from there but now Raynare had asked him out instead.

What will happen now? Will this story divert from the original plotline?

But that was irrelevant. Even if the story changes from the main plotline, it wouldn't matter to him. Then, he suddenly thought about that issue. More importantly, he took a glance at his right hand.

His right hand held a special power that can negate any anything as long as it was supernatural of origins. Meaning, his right hand could negate a fireball conjured from magic but will be completely useless when faced with a gun.

Would that mean his right hand can erase supernatural creatures?

Would that mean he would be able to blow away any devil or fallen angel he encounters into nothingness with just a simple touch from his right hand? In that case, did that mean he would be able to become one punch man?

A person that can kill any gods, devils, angels with just a single punch. But was he okay with that though. Believe it or not, Kamijou considered himself to be a pacifist. If there was a way he could talk through an unpleasant situation, he would take it instead of using voilence.

He never swung his right hand for himself. But instead he used it to help others. So how does he feel if his right hand can be used for killing? Of course, he would feel unpleasant.

Supernatural creatures like devils, angels and fallen were still people with different origins. Would he be okay with swinging his right hand anytime he was faced with a troublesome opponent? If he did then he was no different from a murderer.

"Ah, there you are!"

A sweet voice pierced into Kamijou's eardrums. Could it be? He thought as he turned his head towards the source of that voice.

As he thought, the voice belonged to the approaching Yuuma. She was wearing a shirt, a black shirt with high heels. While ignoring the face she looked really cute, Kamijou could literally the strong alluring perfume coming from her despite the distance between them.

"You were already here? I hope you didn't wait long."

"Not really. I just arrived here."

That was a lie. Ryuji Kamijou arrived 30 minutes before the agreed time. It was definitely not his fault. This was his first date with a gal so he thought he should be early.

"Is that so. Then what do you have in mind for our date?"

She asked with a cute voice.

"Nothing special really. So we can just freestyle. Do you want to see a movie first or do you want to go shopping?"

Asked Kamijou as he stratched th back of his head.

Yuuma placed a finger on her chin and fell into deep thought. She seems as though she was deciding to choose between shopping and watching a movie. It was as if he told her to pick between two of her favourite idols.

"Movie it is then. Come on, come on, let's go inside."

Yuuma locked arms with Kamijou and dragged him into the mall. At that point, Kamijou thought she was really cute.

_________________________________

...The date went far better than I expected.

Kamijou thought as walked behind Yuuma. The date was alot of fun. After watching a movie filled with violence, they went shopping before they ended it with lunch at a family restaurant. Kamijou even bought Yuuma a necklace with wings that resembled a fallen angel, black and white dragon wings.

Simply put, the date was a success and they had alot of fun. But Kamijou was having a complicated feeling.

(Despite everything, I still feel we are yet to come to an understanding.)

During the date, they told each other about themselves. Of course, Yuuma didn't outright say she was a fallen angel. It was just her likes, dislikes and some other things.

But did what she told him a lie or the truth? Despite everything he had done, did they have to settle this with violence? Has he failed to understand the person known as Raynare.

That was the root of Kamijou's unease. He really tried his best but it seems there was no escape from this path.

They had returned back to their meeting spot and were currently standing at the fountain. The sky had taken a reddish-orange hue due to the sunset. But Kamijou had noticed something strange.

...We are the only ones here? Come to think of it, I didn't see anyone while we were walking.

Kamijou looked around.

The streets was devoid of any people. No one entered or exited the conference stores and not a single car was driving along that runway of a road. All of the cars parked on the side of road were empty as if abandoned.

It was like a farm road out in the country.

(Did she use magic to set up a barrier? No, that's not right. If that was the case, my imagine breaker would have negated something. Perhaps she used magic to influence the people's mind from approaching this place.)

Despite not having the ability to use magic, it didn't mean he was completely helpless. He possessed the great knowledge of magic from his previous life. He didn't know why he had this knowledge but he assumed he was a great magician in his previous life or something along those lines.

He sighed. It seems their date was really taking this path.

"Hey Ryuji, I really enjoyed our date. I really did."

"Is that so? Then I'm glad. But there is something I want to ask you though."

"Huh? What is it?"

Yuuma turned around and faced him with a curious look.

"I really want to know Raynare, did you approach me because of your mission or your own will?"

In that moment, a cold silence filled the air in the middle of the summer.

"....What're you talking about? And who's Raynare."

"You're still planning dumb? That's fine, but don't regret it later."

Kamijou leaned over to Yuuma who didn't change her expression despite that.

"Ryuji?"

In response to the confused Yuuma, Kamijou flared his eyes and swung his right hand at godspeed. In the past, Kamijou had practiced boxing so his punching speed was far faster than the average person. But,

"....."

Instantly, Yuuma was far away. That wasn't something feasible for a normal human. All emotions had already vanished from Yuuma's face.

"C'mon now, you don't have to look at me like that princess, that's a natural reaction. Anyone would have dodged or countered if they were suddenly attacked like that especially if that person is someone with an unknown ability."

Yuuma remained silent. Before long, she opened her mouth to speak.

"So you already knew?"

Yuuma's cute voice was completely gone. Her voice sounded cold like the tone of an adult. If he didn't know better, she had transformed into a completely different person.

"Yes I did. When we met at the bridge, I already knew you were a fallen."

"If you knew then why did you agree to go on this date with me?"

In response, Kamijou shrugged his shoulders.

"Actually, I don't really know the answer myself. At first, I thought it would be a waste of time but I was wrong. I really enjoyed our date so you being a fallen didn't actually matter. Plus, I wanted to avoid the violent approach and get to know you better."

"Impossible."

Raynare said it bluntly as if to crush any hope of a peaceful approach.

"Now that you know of my existence, I can't let you be."

"So there is no other way, huh?"

"That's right."

BUZZ

Kamijou heard a sound much heavier than a game console makes. Along with that buzzing sound, something manifested in Raynare's hand.

It was something bright and had the appearance of a spear of sorts. Magic? Kamijou denied that notion. It was a power that only angels and the fallen could use.

"It's really unfortunate, but your existence is a threat to the fallen so you must be eliminated."

As Raynare said those cruel words, she threw that spear of light.

That spear of death flew forward Kamijou and the sound of the wind being torn apart followed after it.

There was no way to evade. After all, we are talking about a spear of light thrown by a fallen. It was similar to watching a thundercloud fire a bolt at light speed and then try to dodge it.

A right hand moved. Kamijou used that hand to guard his face and the spear of light struck it. It pierced through that hand and impaled his torso, rampaging through his insides.

... Or that was supposed to happen.

"W-What?"

Raynare took a step backwards in shock of the incomprehensible phenomenon before her.

With the sound of a roar, the spear of light was blown away and scattered like glass. Kamijou's right hand had not been blown off by the direct hit. …In fact, it lacked even a single burn.

Simply put, he was unharmed. But he was a mere human.

"... What are you surprised for?"

It seems to have taken a thousand years before Kamijou's voice reached Raynare ears.

Kamijou slowly raised his head. He glared at her with a sharp glance, almost like a different person.

"Just like how they are devils, angels and gods exist in this world, there are humans with special powers. Don't you already know?"

...How could this be?

Normal humans were defenseless against any supernatural powers. Namely, magic, demonic power, holy power and so on. So a normal human defeating her spear of light was impossible.

But... Raynare was more confused about a different surprise than this fact.

Impossible! Raynare thought. Namely, Kamijou's action just now.

(He erased my power that could purify devils with a simple touch. No, not just that. Once any power was activated, it generated some kind of energy remains, no matter the protection against it. Despite that, there was not a single trace left of the holy power that Kamijou had cut off. It was completely erased. As if it had never existed to begin with.)

Wait, could it be... As that horrifying thought emerged, Raynare was suddenly overcome by fear. If this human can erase any supernatural power then that would mean...

"Now then."

"!!"

That one statement alone was enough to make the fallen angel's entire body flinch.

Kamijou Ryuji took a step toward Raynare.

In a panic, Raynare created another spear of light and attacked Kamijou. But what did that action change in the world?

The spear of light flew and in the next moment, a pathetic sound filled the air as it was blown into oblivion.

Kamijou took another step forward. Unable to hide her fear, Raynare shouted as she threw numerous spears one after the other.

However, Kamijou didn't stop. He blew away those spears of light with just casual swings of his right hand.

He scattered those holy spears that could kill a devil with a single hit with a right hand that had no magical reinforcement of any kind.

Without warning, Ryuji Kamijou finally started charging toward Raynare like a bullet.

"NO!!! STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!"

Overcome by fear, Raynare manifested a pair of black wings and turned around to fly away. It was too late. Kamijou had already grabbed onto one of her wings.

A single touch was all it took for her wings to be blown into nothingness. Then she realised something in that moment.

She was completely open. If Kamijou wanted to punch her, she won't be able to defend herself. Desperate, she tried to manifest another holy spear.

Well, at least she tried.

"?!!"

Impossible! She thought. She couldn't feel her energy. No matter how she tried, she couldn't manifest her power. Then her worst fears came to life when she saw Kamijou clenching his fist.

He clenched his utterly normal right hand. He clenched his right hand that would be of no use unless in contact with the supernatural.

"Now be a good girl and go back and think about your life!!"

Kamijou Ryuji slammed that right hand into Raynare's nose.

The body of the fallen rotated like a bamboo copter and the back of her head struck the ground with a 'Thud'.
