Chapter 397: The Fallen Danger (1)

—

Rias Gremory was… fun. He recalled not having a very good impression of her back when he watched the anime, but by now his preferences had changed a lot. Having lived in worlds once considered fiction, learning to know girls better than just their bodies, Neji saw things a bit differently.

Now, her seduction attempts for her selfish reasons just seemed cute in his eyes, he didn't find it offensive. Enough that a small part of him wanted to bend her over right in the café and show her a different world. The larger part of himself was still not driven enough to do that though, so he ended the date with a forehead kiss.

Still odd how he got such a random date, but he was used to odd things by this point.

Neji returned to his new home since there was still a bit of time before school would begin. There, he was surprised to find his little house angel in the kitchen.

"Do angels need food?"

Neji asked a genuine question, startling Raynare who was busy cooking. She looked towards him, quickly clasped her hands and bowed slightly.

"Welcome back, my lord. No, angels do not need food, I was just cooking since you weren't back home today."

Usually, he was the one to cook. Neji too didn't need food to survive, it would be odd otherwise, but he enjoyed food. For the same reason, he took naps every now and then despite not needing sleep.

Thinking again, that meant none of the people who lived in this mansion needed food. Neji didn't, and Sisty obviously didn't, and Raynare said she didn't either. That left Asia, who shouldn't need any food either thanks to her [Sage Mark] providing her with passive Nature Energy.

"I see. What are you cooking?"

Neji decided to interact with his first angel (of this world) for a bit, as he walked over and hugged her from behind. He was in the mood for some relaxing touches thanks to the scene earlier, and this seemed romantic enough.

Even as Raynare blushed, moaning due to his touch, she tried to act all normal as she cooked with him observing and helping from behind.

Later, Neji made his way to the school. He was planning to walk around the city, taking in the morning air, so he sent Asia and Sisty on their own.

However, it seemed his walk wasn't going to be as peaceful as he had planned.

It was when he had taken a turn on a road, pausing when he found a man standing on top of a cowering student on the floor.

A quick glance to the two of them gave Neji an overall idea about the situation.

[Freed Selzen - Mid Tier 13]

[Reya Kusaka - Devil - Low Tier 9]

The man was a human, as his race wasn't mentioned on the text floating over his head. From his outfit, he seemed to be an exorcist. He has white hair, though it was somewhat yellowish, like very light blonde, instead of Neji's glistening silver.

The girl had a slim build with long brown hair that ended in two short braids, with matching brown eyes. She wore a blue headband, along with her Kuoh Uniform outfit.

As she wasn't a part of Rias' peerage, Neji guessed she was a part of Sona's group.

"Oops, another one?"

The man, Freed, chuckled oddly as he noticed Neji. The girl noticed too, blinking, as a somewhat relieved expression formed on her face. There was still weary, but she seemed to have recognised him somehow.

As for why Freed said "another one", Neji got the answer from the corpse of a child and a father lying nearby. It seemed they had walked in just like Neji, seeing Freed about to murder the devil right here.

Neji sighed in his head as he looked at the sickening bastard in front of him who was wearing a grin, his hand running down the blade of the weapon on his head.

"Hah, how unresponsive. A boring prey?"

Ignoring the fool's banter, Neji looked at the sword in his hand.

His [Observe] said it was one of the seven Excaliburs, called Excalibur Rapidly. It had blood on it, both from the father and child, and from Reya who was quite injured.

"You-"

The fool tried to say something, but Neji moved first. To the fool's eyes, he was a blur, moving faster than lightning, as he simply touched his forehead, causing the fool's grinning face to pause and his head burst into splinters.

This stupid exorcist was planning to play with him for a bit before attacking, but sadly he was up against an opponent way above his league. All it took was a touch of [Overhaul] as he ceased to exist.

Huh, he was using it more than he used to do. He must have really missed it.

He recalled Sisty warning him about not killing priests, but this man, despite wearing the cross, didn't have any faith in God. Neji couldn't feel anything. So he was sure it was safe to obliterate him.

Neji may not be the strongest in the world currently, but he was one of the top players anyway. These small-time mobs could not pose any threat to him, of course.

"Ah."

"My apologies."

Neji apologized when he noticed the girl, suddenly confused as she was bathed with a puddle of blood. He snapped his finger as [Cleanse] worked wonders, causing all of the blood stains to disappear. She still had wounds left, but a simple [High Heal] took care of that too.

"And,"

Neji looked at the Excalibur Sword and deposited it in his Gate of Babylon. He had kind of a new attraction towards artifacts, thanks to his memories as Gilgamesh, so it felt good adding a new weapon to his collection, even if it was nowhere near the real Excalibur.

Neji then looked at the two dead bodies. They hadn't died that long ago, so their souls hadn't left for heaven. He hesitated for a bit, until he snapped his finger, using his long unused Tenseigan powers to snap the two humans back to the living world.

He looked into their eyes with Jogan to erase this bit of their memory, hypnotizing them to make them walk away.

"Oh…"

The girl, Reya Kusaka, stared at the scene in bewilderment. Neji looked at her for a bit, considering if he should remove her memory of the resurrection too, but decided otherwise. Devils had something similar, he reckoned, that's how reincarnated devils existed.

"Haah," Neji sighed, grabbing the girl by her wrist. "I am late. Say some good words to your King for me, otherwise she'll come lecture me about being late again. What an annoying lass."

Then, he teleported away, along with the girl, and appeared in the back of the school where no eyes could see. He quickly left, rushing to his class, while the girl stood silently, still confused about what had happened.
