4 [ Chapter - 4: Life In Kuoh Town (1/?) ]
--
" *Sigh* I really need to control my energy..." Damon mumbled to himself, with his legs under the kotatsu.
If Miss-Shortstuff was right, then the only reason she knows where he was - is because he's revealing a powerful unknown energy that was felt throughout the whole town by all Supernatural beings. It felt like Mana, but at the same, it wasn't. Wanting fo check this out - It lead her to his house and finally to him. He was basically asking for trouble!
' What a pain in the ass...' Furthermore, Cleria Belial. A person or rather Devil - he only knows because he wanted to know the history behind Kuoh Town. The only reason he knows he's in the past. A Devil who he's now 'friends' with...
' Thank you Fandom...' It's not his fault he likes checking out the history behind anime places! Hell, it even helped him here!
'... Hey system, is there any way I can make my "Aura" disappear?' He really hopes the system can help him.
[ Ding! Answer: Train ]
' Train?'
[ Affirmative! Start using your abilities and eventually, your Aura will disappear ]
' Sounds easy enough... Though, I feel like this is something only the system can make happen.' Surely, it can't be that easy for everyone with Magical abilities here, right?

[ 1 Week Later ]
Like this - Damon trained his mind powers and did some light exercises for his body. For safety, he did all his training at night and mostly inside his house.
For his mind powers - he moved stuff with his mind around his house and mind-controlled some bugs.
Likewise, for his body - he did 30 pushups, 30 situps, 30 squats, and ten laps around his house. Not a One Punch-Man workout, but he will hopefully get there.
..
Inside his bedroom, Damon can be seen huffing with a pained expression, laying on his bed.
" *Huff* Is *Huff* my aura *Huff* gone?" Damon groaned, feeling his whole body yell at him.
[ Ding! Answer: Half-Way. Now - only, High-Class Beings sense you ]
' How long till it's fully gone?' He grunted, sitting up owns downing a water bottle on the table, next to his bed.
[ Answer: 2 months, using the same pace you have been using for the first week ]
'... Fair enough.' He placed down his now empty water bottle,' I can do that.'
*BEEP! Intruders Alert! At Front Gate! BEEP!*
" Oh come on! What is it now?!" Damon grumbled. Can't a man have some peace and quiet?!
Waking to his door, he opened it and saw Cleria Belial stepping outside of his gate with a smile.
" Oh, so your okay." She said, looking at Damon, like she was expecting he would have an arm missing or something.
"... Thanks?" Bemused, Damon said," Is that why you came over?"
" Pretty much." Cheerfully, she smiled," I felt your aura cut in half, so I came over and see what the problem is. But, it seems, nothing is wrong."
" Aww~ You care about me~"
" Of course. Now that I know you mean us no harm and are rather on our side, then there is no point in being hostile." Cleria confessed.
" True..." It seems she's more of herself, rather than her 'Leader-Self'. Even her thoughts are different.
' She's either a skilled liar or an actually good person...' Paranoia can be a blessing and curse sometimes. Another reason he didn't bother with women or people In general. There's too much work he has to put in with very minor pay-out. It's honestly not worth it.
' Let's find out, shall we?' Making up his mind, Damon's eyes flickered," You mind joining me for some tea?" Tea and alcohol, are the two wonders of finding out something the other person doesn't want you to know. Tea for a soft approach and alcohol for a little forceful approach. They both work in his opinion.
" I don't mind at all." She sounded too happy for her liking...
*Beep*
With a weak clicking and beeping sound, the front gates opened, letting Cleria walk in.
..
" You have a kotatsu too!" Right, when she walked in, Cleria's eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas, seeing Damon's favorite item in the house.
" A kotatsu fan as well?" Damon smiled, enjoying her happy expression. It affected him as well.
" Of course! The kotatsu is the best Invention, right before anime!" Cleria said, taking her shoes off, letting Damon see her cute devil-wings knee-high socks.
' Is she trying to seduce me!?' Damon felt his heart tighten. This is way fo cute for him.
" Hmm~ Hmm~" Humming a lovely tune, Cleria put under legs under the kotatsu," Ohhh~"
' Too cute!' This is too much for his poor heart. She's so cute.
' Wait! Come down, Damon! It's just a sexy legal loli... Damnit I made it worse!' Damon dropped his head and did the same thing as Cleria.
" Fuuuu~" He yawned, feeling bliss. Now he's calmed down,' Damon, you got this!'
" Heheh~" Looking up, Damon found a giggling Cleria,' Isn't she too carefree? Didn't just a week ago, she fell down in fright because of me? What the hell is happening!?'
Using his mind-reading ability, Damon's mouth twitched,' I'm not cute...'
" Oh, this must be the tea." Oblivious to Damon's thoughts, Cleria noticed the unusual black teapot with golden outlines. Taking a cup by the teapot, she poured herself some and smiled at the 'Demon'," Thank you for having me, Solomon-san."
" Damon's just fine." Now sure, nothing is wrong with the Devil, Damon returned to his normal self.
" I-Isn't that too close?" Cleria slightly blushed, hearing Damon.
" We both are not Japanese, so it's fine." Locking eyes with her, Damon smiled," Right, Cleria?"
" R-Right D-Damon." She nodded, taking a sip of the tea.
" Oh! This is-" Cleria was shocked at the taste invading her mouth.
" Lemonade Iced Tea. A homemade recipe." Damon said, taking a sip.
" Amazing!" She took another sip and felt her whole body shiver," Could I have your recipe?" She asked hopefully. She really needs it. Now that she tested it, how could she go back to normal boring Lemonade Iced Tea?!
" No can do. It's a family secret." Damon grinned. It truly is. He's been with his family for over six hundred years. His Ancestor won the recipe in a gambling house,(or so he was told), so he can't tell anyone other than his family or In-Laws(If he wants).
" Please?" Shs used a secret move, only cute girls can use - Puppy eyes!
" Nope." It wasn't very effective.
" Mou~ Please!" She used it again.
" Nope." Once again, It wasn't very effective.
"... Fine." Cleria pouted,' Wait... Didn't he say, only family?'
' Oh no... I don't like those eyes!' Damon read enough fanfics to know where this going.
"... Can I at least, drink some when I'm over?" Cleria negotiated. However, her thoughts were a whole different matter. Damon felt like kicking her out, hearing her thoughts!
" That is doable." Holding in his will to kick this Loli out, Damon nodded. It's good to have a 'friend', even if said friend is a Devil who loves his Lemonade Iced Tea.
" Yay!"
Watching Cleria cheer, Damon sighed,' The following few years in gonna be long, huh?' He just knows it.
' Moreover, how is me thinking she was lying - to this?' He knew he shouldn't have let her drink his tea. His father and his Grandfather warned him.
Why didn't he Listen?! WHY?!
