5 What Should I Do Now!?

<POV RYO>

My head hurts thinking about the stupidity of this bastard, it's impossible to revive him because maybe his soul has already left this world.

'What should I do, what about the condition of this world when the main character is dead here!

At least he should live for the good of this world, but I messed everything up!.

While I was thinking of an action, I didn't notice that there was a bright red light coming from Issei's corpse.

I quickly turned around to see a ball of light above me, I panicked slightly due to the pressure and bad premonition I was under.

'This is bad!' I thought of running away, but the glowing red ball quickly entered my body, which made me scream from the pain.

"AAAAHHH!" I knelt down and screamed at the top of my lungs from the pain, as if my whole body was being ripped apart from the inside.

In that desperate state I have to stay conscious, no matter what happens I can't faint in this place because Rias and the others might come here immediately.

After the pain subsided, I got up and hurriedly walked home to digest this information.

...

<NORMAL POV>

Just as Ryo expected, Rias and co came to the garden fountain and found Issei cold and stiff.

Rias bit her lip, annoyed at having failed to recruit strong allies.

"Rias, this child?" Akeno as her aide asked what to do with Issei's corpse.

Rias shook her head while saying "Akeno, he has been dead for too long so reincarnating him into a Devil is already impossible"

Akeno could only lower her head, hearing Rias' answer, who was not indifferent to the child.

"So Bunchou, shall we report this to Sona Kaichou?" asked Kiba, a who was the only male there.

Rias sighed while answering "It can't be helped, it's purely my fault for not paying attention to the details that this he actually received the pamphlet that I gave through my familiar" said Rias.

Kiba nodded and looked back at Issei's corpse.

Koneko who was sniffing around the corpse to find the culprit realized something.

"Bunchou, the dragon smell coming from him has completely disappeared!" Koneko said with her finger pointing at Issei's corpse.

"Koneko...he's been dead for too l, so his Sacred Gear might have returned to the Heaven system" Rias said.

"Mmm... I know that, the smell has indeed disappeared from his body but the smell of the Dragon itself is still thick here" Keneko said which made her friends and Rias herself surprised.

"What do you mean Koneko?" Rias asked in a trembling tone.

"I said...it's possible that the Sacred Gear transferred to someone who happened to be nearby because I smelled another smell coming from there" Koneko's small hand pointed towards the bushes.

"So someone else is here! Is that a fallen angel too?" Rias asked while shaking Koneko.

Akeno stopped Rias by saying "Rias, poor Koneko"

Rias then realized that she was hurting Koneko and stopped shaking her.

"No, he's not a fallen angel...this smell he's a human!" Koneko dropped the bomb, which made Rias and her comrades very surprised and amazed as well.

"Who!? Where!? How can anyone other than Issei be here? So he saw all these happenings!?" Rias wondered but couldn't find a single answer.

"Rias...we should take care of this first before looking for that person" Akeno suggested cleaning up the mess before thinking again about that person.

...

After cleaning up the mess, Sona was of course furious with Rias for not only neglecting her duty as second in command of Kuoh's territory, but deliberately letting fallen angels enter the realm without taking care of them.

Also, one of the Academy's students was declared to have died at the hands of the Fallen Angels and this greatly impacted both of their reputations in the eyes of the underworld people, especially in the eyes of their brothers and sisters.

If it spreads, their family name will be tarnished because of negligence in managing a small area in the human world.

"How are we supposed to tell the Council when things like this happen!" Sona couldn't stop thinking about Rias's attitude of continuously neglecting her duties and authority for such a detrimental thing.

"Wouldn't it be better for us to bury this matter by silencing the people involved" Rias innocently spoke like that.

Because of that, Sona was getting angry at Rias who was acting as she pleased.

"That's easy for you to say!... Do you know what impact we will receive and what our parents will say if this matter gets known to them!" Sona shouted to Rias who was turning her face to the side.

"Look at me when I'm talking, Rias!" On Sona's orders, she complied and looked Sona straight in the eyes.

"Rias!" On Sona's orders, she complied and looked Sona straight in the eyes.

After talking for a long time, the two of them finally made an agreement written on the magic contract.

The contents of the contract required Rias to fulfill her obligations as an area manager and not use her authority arbitrarily.

...

<POV Ryo>

I stared blankly at the roof of the house while thinking about what happened.

'How about now? Will the plot change, or will there be a replacement main character?

"Come to think of it, this is also the main fault of Issei's death is Rias, she should have asked Issei nicely not by letting Issei die at the hands of a fallen angel!" I cursed Rias for being so narrow-minded that Issei died in vain.

'That's right, I'm just an extra character who can't possibly be tied to the story, so I didn't do anything wrong! 'That's right, there's nothing wrong with my actions as an extra.

When I want to brush it off with the fact that I'm a side character that doesn't even appear in the story, it makes me feel even more guilty.

I'm guilty, I was there and just casually watching someone die.

Moreover, that person has a very important role in this world because he is the main character.

"Ugrh~ I need to drink" I groaned because my head hurt.

In the end I bought a beer and took it discreetly to my room, made sure the door was locked and drank several cans that day until I fell into a deep sleep.

{AN: Unknowingly drinking at an age is still illegal}

{RYO : Noisy!}
