3 Chapter 3 : Azrallik! The Mysterious Archangel

Chapter 3.

Afternoon is approaching, where the sky that previously looked bright blue, now slowly begins to change color to reddish orange. White clouds stretched all over the sky, slightly holding back the sunlight that was not too hot.

The sky looks very beautiful, just like above the sky there is a beauty of Heaven that is second to none. One by one the houses also began to turn on the lights of their respective houses, before it was getting late at night. The streets of Kuoh city also look less crowded, which adds to the beauty of the afternoon atmosphere.

On a pedestrian bridge, two young men can be seen stepping on their feet. The two young men were also seen wearing school uniforms, indicating that the two young men were still students.

One of the young men had brown hair, with two pointed hairs sticking out at the back of his head. He is a young man who is famous for his pervertedness throughout Kuoh Academy, none other than Issei Hyodou.

While next to him, there was a spiky black-haired young man who was wearing a flat face. He is a new student at Kuoh Academy, who is none other than Yatomichi Ryuma.

Ryuma put on a flat face not without a reason, he was tired of hearing his new friend's babble. If only his babbling had been beneficial, he would have listened, but all his babbling would not have benefited him.

What he raved about was all about the Girls, the girls' underwear, and also the collection of perverted books he had. All of them didn't even attract the slightest interest from Ryuma, who had just been silent while wearing a straight face.

But everything changed when there was an oddity that occurred between the two of them, in which, someone shouted from behind both of them. Then the two also turned their heads, to find out what was going on.

"Wait!"

In front of the two, there was a school girl with long black hair, her eyes were purple, and her school uniform was dark red. At first glance, there is nothing unusual about the appearance of the girl in front of the two at this time.

"So... Is there one of you named Issei Hyodou?"

The girl asked with her face starting to turn red, it was also seen that she was lowering her gaze to the ground while starting to play with her fingers. Ryuma, who was confused, turned to look at Issei, and saw that the brown-haired young man was also confused.

"I'm Issei Hyodou."

Issei, whose name is Issei Hyodou, replied to the question from the foreign girl he had just met. Although he felt a little excited because he saw the girl's big breasts, he still tried to restrain his lust.

"Thank goodness. I've been waiting for you from earlier. I-I..."

"S-so... I often see you walking over this bridge, a-and I think you're cool and handsome... A-and s-so... Will you be my boyfriend?"

The confession from the girl, it turned out, was able to make Issei very surprised, even Ryuma who heard it. Ryuma didn't expect that there was a girl who liked a perverted young man, but he was also happy that Issei was not so bad in the eyes of others.

"O-oh! Certainly! I can be your boyfriend!"

Issei, who was indeed expecting a girlfriend, immediately agreed to be the girlfriend of a girl he had just met. But for Ryuma, he wondered why Issei could without thinking directly agree to be the girlfriend of a girl he had just met, literally, surely Issei didn't know more about the girl.

"I'm glad to hear it! In that case, don't mind if we start dating tomorrow?"

The girl feels very happy that her love has been accepted by Issei, and proposes to Issei for a date the next day. It's really strange... Of course, for Ryuma, how could someone who had just met each other, fall in love so much.

"Su-sure! I'll get ready for tomorrow!"

Issei without thinking anymore, directly agreed to the proposal of the girl who had become his girlfriend. Although he still doesn't know her, he can spend his date tomorrow to get to know more about his new girlfriend.

The girl was very happy again after learning that Issei had agreed to her proposal. It seemed that she was smiling with tenderness, but there was something strange about her smile. Ryuma, who had been harboring a bit of suspicion towards the girl, realized that the smile shown by the girl held something else. He didn't know for sure, but he felt that something was hidden behind that girl's smile.

The girl turned around and immediately ran away from Issei and Ryuma, but before she disappeared completely, the girl turned and looked gently at Issei.

"My name is Amano Yuuma, I look forward to the two of us going on a date tomorrow!"

After saying this, Yuuma resumed her run and soon disappeared from Issei and Ryuma's sight. While Issei is rejoicing over the luck that has been saved, Ryuma is currently thinking hard about the meaning of the smile he previously saw in that girl.

**You're right, me. The girl is not an ordinary person, she is not a human being in general. You'd better keep an eye on your friend, or not, he'll be gone forever.**

But when Ryuma was busy in his own thoughts, he was suddenly surprised by a voice that came from nowhere. He turned his head around quickly, and only found Issei who was jumping up and down with excitement beside him.

Ryuma was very confused by the sound he had previously heard, he did not see the form of the sound, but he felt that the sound was very close to him. But all he could see was Issei alone, it was also impossible for Issei to say such things to him.

What's more, the voice refers to himself as "me" which literally, the owner of the voice claims that he too is himself. There are only two conclusions for Ryuma at this time, either it was just a hallucination, or indeed the sound really happened to him.

"Issei. Did you hear the sound before?"

Ryuma, who didn't want to mess around with his own thoughts, asked Issei about the voice he had previously heard. He was sure that if the voice had come from very close to him, Issei would have heard it too.

"No. What sound do you mean? Is it because of jealousy that you hallucinated getting a confession from a girl?

It turns out that Issei didn't hear the voice that he had just heard, and instead said he was hallucinating to get a confession from a girl. Ryuma wants to beat Issei right now, but considering that Issei is his new friend, he again discourages it.

"Whatever you say, we'd better go home soon. I have so many things to do at home."

Ryuma, who realized that he was upset with the behavior of his new friend, first stepped on his feet. However, Issei quickly caught up with him, and began to resume his previously stalled babbling.

Ryuma ignored the babble of Issei next to him, he was currently thinking hard about the voice he had previously heard. The voice warns that Yuuma is not a human, and warns to keep an eye on Issei if he does not want to lose him forever.

These various clues Ryuma slowly understood their meaning, which, managed to become a conclusion. He can conclude that Yuuma is not a human, but another creature. And the warning to keep an eye on Issei, probably intending to keep an eye on Issei when together with Yuuma. All of that leads to a date that Issei will have together with Yuuma tomorrow, inevitably, tomorrow he decides to go along. Not only to help Issei if things get worse, but he can also find out Yuuma's true identity, which is said to be not an ordinary girl.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A stretch of darkness is visible as long as the eye sees, without anything else but that. Hovering above the void, there appeared to be a young man with pointed black hair who looked confused.

He is Yatomichi Ryuma, who had previously fallen asleep very deeply, but after waking up, he was confused about the place where he is now. All he could see was darkness and emptiness, extremely quiet and silent.He felt very confused and frightened, because this experience was the first for him. What's more, what he saw was endless darkness, he was worried that something was hiding behind it.

"Welcome, I'm sorry that I can't welcome you."

A person's voice suddenly echoed throughout the darkness, and from behind the darkness of the void, there appeared to be a human walking towards Ryuma.

At first Ryuma felt very scared when he first saw the figure, but as the figure got closer to him, slowly his fear began to disappear.

"You must be wondering where you are now, and more importantly, who I really am, right?"

The figure had now stood not far in front of him, and from above, a light appeared that shone right towards the mysterious figure's body. Ryuma, who saw the real figure, felt very surprised at his appearance, not because it was terrible or anything like that, but the figure had a very, very similar appearance to him.

"This is the Void Realm, which, in turn, becomes the sealing place of cursed creatures that have the potential to destroy the world."

The figure explains where Ryuma is currently located, and at the end of his speech, the darkness that previously enveloped all directions, suddenly turned into a scene of stars and galaxies that looked very beautiful.

Ryuma was so amazed by the sight that at first, he thought that this place was hiding something terrible, but who would have thought it would be so beautiful like this.

"Introduce, I am Azrallik, the Angel of God's messenger, and the longest being who were lived in here."

The figure introduced himself as the Angel of God's Messenger named Azrallik, along with his speech, suddenly twelve golden wings appeared on his back.

"You must be asking why I can look like you, well... Because I am you, and you are me."

The figure explains why he can have the same appearance as Ryuma, that he is actually Ryuma, and Ryuma is actually him. Very confusing, right? But that explanation is not over yet.

"That said, I am the real one, and you live in the world using only my imagination."

The figure smiled softly while continuing to explain the strange phenomenon. Meanwhile, Ryuma could only fall silent as he realized the truth of the shake.

"And now, I will take everything that has been mine. Come back to your reality."

But with all of a sudden, the sight of these beautiful stars and galaxies turned into endless darkness again. Everything was pitch black, and the light that had previously shone on the figure, has now disappeared.

The twelve golden wings on the back of the figure, have also turned into a deep black color. With that, Ryuma's body instantly knelt down, without being able to do anything else.

"I am was you, and you was me. It is time to cleanse my name of all the stains of evil!"

The figure slowly approached Ryuma's body with his twelve black wings that had been spread. He lifted Ryuma's face up to face his face, and with his right hand touching Ryuma's chest.

"I, Azrallik, will return to the world to uphold the fallen pillar of justice!"

The golden light instantly shone illuminating all directions, which was dark before, now full of golden light. At the same time, the body of the figure shattered into golden grains of light, and entered Ryuma's body directly through the chest.

Now the Archangel has been released from his prison again after thousands of years of confinement. With his freedom this time, he will try to atone for all his sins, sins that he had committed against Heaven, which made him fall into the abyss of curse.
