CHAPTER 3

〇I Have to Get Going to School

===1===

“Got it? I have sos to do now You stay still at my house”

It’son the sofa with her legs crossed while eating her ice cream

It seee withouther all the time

“What is this thing that you are talking about? Are you really leaving? I would be bored if I have to stay home on my own”

“Then I don’t ht now”

“I don’t want to”

Teeri who is sitting in front ofated act If you ignore her wing, then she looks like an ordinary human

“If you don’t want to leave, then stay quiet”

“I don’t want to do that either”

“Being hit with ht hand Which one do you prefer?”

“There’s no way I can choose between such unreasonable choices”

“So you think the unreasonable things you are saying to me are allowed? Huh?”

“Of course it is I’m a Devil after all”

She says that with a smirk where she doesn’t feel even a bit bad about it She sure has a self-important attitude Her attitude is no doubt rotten

“So what a after the house?”

“Do things like taking a nap or reading soa”

“I can’t sleep that long I’ve also read all the a already”

“You actually read all of it……”

“What was it called again? The ”

If I rea that was being sold in the second-hand bookstore for 500 yen for 40 volumes……

“Anyway, I’m really bored Haven’t I told you several ti bored?”

Incredibly, this isthat

“Then watch TV”

“I don’t want to have a depurative lifestyle where I would have to watch TV from noon”

Saying that, she lays down on the sofa while putting the ice cream into her mouth

She loses her interest in me and moves her eyes towards the TV

“……Aren’t you actually a huht?”

She waves her hand at ot it” I thought I should yell at her; however, I will be late if I don’t leave soon

I decide to head to school even though I’ dissatisfied about it

===2===

I can see the school’s gate That’s the Nishi+takayao to The deviation value is a bit lower than average, and if you enrol in this school, et accepted in Due to the declining birth rate which is the recent problem of japan, it seems like the s who they will be taking in So it’s a school which is below average, however, there are gifted students that will shock you, and there are also unbelievable kinds of delinquents here as well

It must mean that there are those who chose this school because it’s close to their house, just like how I did

In terms of that, then there may be different types of students here

“Hey, it’s Samejima……”

I heard that corees aroundwho said that

Also, it isn’t so that started recently, so it’s a waste of ti about it

Several students keep their distance away fro to avoid me, then I will let them avoid me just like how they want to

I doubt there are students illingly orise ory)

“Ah……”

When I got near the school gate, one of the female students makes a sound

Even I know her despite not remember the majority of my classmates

Her black hair that is shi+ning due to the reflection of the sun reaches down till her hips and her face is structured really well It’s not exaggerating to say that the term japanese beauty exists solely to identify her

Her name is……Arasaki Momoe

She co towards me soon as she realises me It’s already too late by the time I try to turn my back on her

“Goodhard yesterday, wasn’t it? Are you feeling well?”

“If I wasn’t feeling well, then I wouldn’t be co to school”

“Y-You are definitely right about that”

“See-ya”

“Ah Hold on!”

I stop while feeling listless The truth is, I don’t like her that much The reason is because she isn’t the type of person someone like me would interact with

More than that, if she talks to ate, then it’s natural forhere immediately

“You know, the thing is, yesterday there was a huge puddle in front of my house and—”

She starts saying so which doesn’t make any sense

“Is that so important that you have to tell me here?”

“That is……no, it isn’t……”

“You know, it ht not be any of my business, but you shouldn’t talk to someone like me here where you will stand out”

“Eh, hy?”

“Why? That’s so which is so obvious if you think about it”

“Oh, i-is it because people ht start rumours about us? If that happens, then both of us will certainly be troubled about it, right……?”

Arasaki turns her face red, and she starts looking around herself It looks like she finally understood her situation After that, she starts , and things like she doesn’t mind it and stuff

“Anyway, that’s how it is”

I holdher not to speak toaround

She probably isn’t thinking about anything She’s probably talking to me because I’m simply her classmate She is rumoured to be kind to everyone

Or shekind to make people around her think that she’s nice

“S-S-S-S-Sorry! You are right! You will definitely find me as a nuisance! Well, uir……”

“It will be a botherso you”

“Y-Yeah, a girlfri……huh, bullying?”

I don’t knohy, but she looks at me in wonder, and has her jaws dropped down ……Actually, it see

“Next time, don’t talk to me so carelessly”

“Ah……yeah……”

Arasaki has a dark shade in her expression, and she looks down like a puppy that got yelled at I ht have been too strict on her, but I said that for her own good

While feeling Arasaki’s presence behind me, I head towards the premises

When I enter the school campus, the bunch that realises otten used to this, I still find it annoying

There are two types of emotion that those in this school has towards uys keep their distance with me

I don’t care about these ones since I can simply leave them alone

The problem is the ones who carry the other ee or hatred against me

However, there are ones like Arasaki who doesn’t belong to either category

I went through the entrance, and arrived at the shoe rack

I got out a plastic bag fro, and pull out the indoor type shoe I then put back the shoes I ca

Sadly, my shoe rack can’t be used

If I leave et stolen or throay, and it can even have the corpse of an animal or pin filled inside it

Ever since that happened to h, it became a frequent harassment

It’s probably because they can’t beat ht Therefore, I only find them as pests

Thanks to that, I can’t leave s at school

===3===

The classroon which reads “2-D” is my classroom

There’s nothing to explain about it besides the fact that Arasaki is my classmate

The students inside the rooether with their friends, and they are either having a chat or are playing with their mobile phone

The room has this friendly-vibe between certain students

Then a weak spiritedthe room

He lifts his face up without thinking, and his eyes meets mine

“Hee……aah……!?”

HeThe other students sensed his reaction, and each of them starts to look at my direction

Then they make a disturbed face which reads, “Oh crap!”, and they look away

They are acting as if they are saying, “Please don’t get me involved” It’s the same scenery as always

All of the because I’m their classmate

I also don’t want be involved with them either

“Fuu, fuu”

Arasaki co a bit fast

That instant, it feels like the classroohter as if a flower bloomed It feels as if the tiain

“Goodeveryone”

“Morning, Mo～” There are voices that are flying around with a smile

She gets an opposite reaction coative”, then Arasaki must be someone with a “positive” value

However, never have I envied her I haven’t, got it?

“Moet healed by her existence”

“I don’tif I’m able to date her”

Is there even any point to go out with her when you die after dating her? I make a comment like that inside myself

“U-Uwah Is it lare at me……!?”

“Probably your voiced ticked him off, so be careful!”

“Pathetic”

When I puton my desk violently, I can feel the whole area around me freezes only from the sound

“It sure is hot today as well～ Huh? Why are all of you looking like that?”

Apart from Arasaki who can’t feel the atmosphere of this class

I sit on the chair, and I got my mobile phone out to search soins

Things which gotabout searching about the because I orn out

It’s the first ti up these suspicious keywords People will think that I have an hard-core “Eighth Grade Syndro

“H-Hey Right nohen I went pass Samejima-kun from behind hi about hell and stuff—”

“You idiot! Be careful! He’s definitely searching for his finishi+ng phrases!”

“Finishi+ng phrases!?”

“The one ill be sending you to hell islike that?”

“That’s scary…… Oh yeah, it seems like he took down about ten delinquents who cae on him the other day”

“Don’t try to get involved with hiet killed”

……Not only did he saw it, but he also categorised hth Grade Syndrome”

More than that, do these guys want to get killed by me?

They say it secretively whilesure people can hear them

I’m really in a situation where I’m possessed by a Devil

But no ather any useful information from the internet

The bell which signifies the start of the lecture rings, so I put my mobile phone in my pocket

It’s a boring lecture, but I’ave to s the teacher said on my notebook, and I also answered the question written on the blackboard

“Ehm, for the next question—”

The teacher looks around to give a question to someone

If it’s a question which is that simple, then even I can answer them So even if it becomes the worst situation where he asks me it, I will be fine

When I was looking at the teacher, our eyes meet

“Heee!?”

He makes a weird voice, and looks away immediately Ever since I enrolled in this school, I have never once been given a question to answer……

===4===

“……I’m back”

Words that I had been saying every day at the entrance ofhere I never expected that there will be a day when someone hears me say that

Maybe she heardopened I can hear footsteps co room

“Welcome home”

With a gentle voice, Teeri coht that it isn’t bad

Since her appearance is cute where she has no flaws, there will be no reason for et mad at her if she stays quiet

No matter how she caht that it’s a happy thing to have so for my return Even if that person happens to be a Devil that is

“Do you have so to eat?”

I knew she was going to say that, so without saying a single word, I hand her the plastic bag which has things I bought before co sold at the super market for a discount price

“This is a human’s world food and—”

“It’s a snack, isn’t it? Good work”

She stretches out her ar disappears fros inside, and throws the plastic bag away on the spot

“Why do you know about snacks……?”

“You shouldn’t look down on Devils adaptability”

Maybe she’s satisfied, so she nods her head once and then goes back to the living room

After retrieving the plastic bag on the floor, I also follow her to the living room

“You were staying still, right?”

“Of course I didn’t even take a step outside, so you should thank me”

She crosses her arms, and nods her head with pride It see herself

But first, I’ to relax on the sofa

With that inrooer the living room that I know of

The furniture’s are in a azines……they are all scattered around the place

“Oi, Devil What’s this?”

“Huh? This? What of it?”

She doesn’t even feel anything about this disastrous scene, despite seeing it with her own eyes She sits on the sofa without feeling anything However, the sofa is left clean

“It’s not, what of it I’azines that are scattered around here”

“Oh, this? I read all of it So go and buy me new ones”

She then opened the bag of snacks, and startswell, so she starts to flap her wing

“I’ you about these books that are scattered around here”

“Huh? That’s “Two Piece” This one is “Kazuo’s Great Adventure” And this one is—”

“I don’t care about the na you why it’s all scattered here”

“Obviously because I read them Are you an idiot?”

Teeri shakes her head as if she is disappointed in me, and then directs her eyes at me with pity

“Don’t you know the word, cleaning? You damn Devil!”

“Souichirou, you know your looks like that of a Devil when you get mad? Maybe you have the quality to become a Devil?”

She looks intoeyes approach my face, so I stepped back in panic

“Shut up! Clean this place!”

“No can do I’ theood luck!”

She raises her hand She’s practically saying that she doesn’t care about it, and that it’s not her problem

“You damn Devil!”

===5===

DOORBELL

When I finally finished cleaning the living roohout the room

“Looks like soo and check?”

The freeloader is reading the a so proudly, and she uses her chin to order me around

“Don’t you even think about working a bit? Do you wantyour teeth?”

“That’s quite a fascinating phrase I will be using that next time”

I wonder where she’s planning to use it…… Rather than being afraid ofat what I’ve said

I glare at her while having veins popping out on a as if she lost interest in me

I seriously need to teach her a lesson at least once

DOORBELL

“The visitor You need go and check quickly”

“You really are……”

“Aetseen…it really will be a ruckus if the existence of Devils gets revealed～ I’ to cause so much uproar that it will become a major issue～”

DOORBELL

“Ah, shi+t! damn that’s noisy!”

“Yeah, that doorbell sure is getting on my nerves”

“I will say that back at you!!”

To begin with, why is someone here to pay my house a visit?

The only ones who come to my house are mostly those who coion

Obviously, those people stopped colare every time they came

I went towards the entrance while being alert

“What the……?”

The entrance door that I have been seeing for the whole ti in the other side of this door I can feel so like chills from there

Have I ever felt uneasy like this before? It feels similar to the impulse I felt from Teeri yesterday for an instant However, it also feels different from it

Either way, I decide to peak the other side through the hole on the door

“…………”

The one who is standing on the other side of the door is a girl whose beauty is beyond ination

She doesn’t even have the faintest idea that I ‘ at the door; however, she’s keeping her faint smile on her face

Her straw hat on her head that is blocking the sunlight, and her blonde wavy hair that is falling down from it Her beautiful blues eyes The pendent of a cross around her neck looks really good on her

The well-developed bosom of the blonde beauty which is a rarely seen feature in japanese women will definitely captivate all the men of this world

Gulp…… Like that, it’s a scene where I will be sing ot more cautious instead

I narrow my brow and start to think; “Why is there a blonde beauty visiting my house?”

Is it so? Or she reetings to e

I can feelin a different way

Either way, it’s certain that there are people who cos when they just s more misfortunes

I can’t guarantee that this blonde beauty isn’t a trouble, similarly to Teeri

I’ whether I should act as if no one is home, but it will be troublesome if she comes afterwards

“Fuu……”

I turn the door knob which hasn’t been locked, and I open the door really slowly

“…………”

Moisturous heat comes into the house

At the saood stiirl who is standing in front of me

“How do you do!”

Flower blossoirl’s s that it can captivate the men’s heart

Her small peach-pink lips open slowly

“Samejima Souichirou-san, I presume?”

“……And if I am?”

“There’s so I need to talk to you about”

“Well, I don’t”

I close the door without mercy

“Ah! U-Umm, I’m sorry! Please open the door!”

She raises her panicked voice at the entrance

“……What do you want? It will bother the neighbours, so don’t make such a loud voice”

“Oh, I’lad You opened the door for me……except, why is there a chain on it? There were no chains before”

“Don’t mind it It’s just a door chain That’s not important More than that, what do you want?”

“Oh, umm, it will be a bit of a proble If it is okay with you, will you let me in?”

Her sht for my eyes I can only s?

“Sorry, but I have some business to take care off, so I can’t waste any time on you Leave”

When I pull my hand back to close the door, she comes to stop it in panic

“U-U that is very important for you, Souichirou-san”

She smells even fishi+er Why does she know my name? And why does she want to come in to my house?

I started using hout my lifetime

“You can’t be……!”

“So you’ve finally realised it!”

Maybe she is expecting so from me as well So it feels like her eyes are in sparkles

“NHK? Are you telling n the contract?”

“Huh, NHK? What may that be?”

“You probably want to come inside my house and check whether I have a TV or not But too bad for you, since I don’t have a TV in my house!”

I close the door once again

“That was close…… This is probably one of those situations where they use a wo a contract”

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

“Please don’t close the door!”

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

“Oi, dahbours, so don’t knock on the door and stop screa loudly!”

“It’s an eency! There’s no other way!”

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

“I’!”

Thinking that it won’t be funny to leave her knocking on the door, I open the door once again

“I’ain……”

While having a bit of a teary eyes, sheI can’t allow myself to be bewildered by this woman’s body movement

I need to change myself into a villain, or else I will be the one ill be in trouble afterwards

“You damn spy from NHK! Go and die!”

“Aaah, u I’m not from the NHK that you mentioned”

“You are telling the truth?”

“Y-Yes!”

“I see Then it’s fine”

“So you believe me now……lord, I thank you”

She draws a cross front of her ……daroup huh

“Sorry, I’uys who can easily step onto portraits of Jesus with confidence I will probably do a Cossack dance and step on it”

DOORSHUT

“Eh!? P-P-Please listen to what I have to say!”

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

“I’! I’ll fuckin kill you!”

“Hii!!”

She gets scared at ain

“Huh……!?”

Oops, I responded like how I usually do…… I have to be calm, and act calm……

“Then what are you? It’s not normal for someone like you to visit my house”

“What do you mean by not normal?”

“People basically don’t come to my house A lot happened”

“A lot?”

“I have punched persistent contactors before, and I have also lectured a guy who brought wrong mail to me for two hours”

“Oh my……so that means you are a worthless trash then, correct?”

She gives me a wonderful respond with 100 smile and 100 sarcasm

“……You sure did talk shi+t to soet tortured?”

“Hii!!”

She calleda cute face…she’s probably soainst, after all

Probably feeling scared at my face, she takes a step back I’m sure I have a destiny where I have troubles omen

“Anyway, I can’t let you co you can discuss here, then leave”

Yeah, not only can I let some blonde whom I have neverher wing in the living room

If she gets seen by a chance, then it will bring troubles……

The girl looks troubled but also looks like she’s speechless

I deducted that she won’t be persistent anyain

“I guess……it can’t be helped then……”

The woman bends forward and opens her —

“Right now, there’s a “Devil” in your house, correct, Souichirou-san?”

I panic for aI then calm myself to say it

“Huh…… I ondering what you were going to say Well, I certainly auy from those around me……”

“That’s not what Iabout the female Devil inside”

This woman—!?

“If I say that, will you allow me to come in?”

After es back to her smile

“Who the heck are you……?”

So she knows about both Teeri and me?

“Please letthe fact about that Of course, that will be done inside your house, Souichirou-san”

Is she perhaps a same Devil as Teeri? Either way, she definitely knows about the existence of her kind If I carelessly chase her away, then it will only bring more troubles to me afterwards

“…………Alright then”

I close the door once to take off the door chain, and open the door slowly The woman has a smile

“I thank you verythe situation we are in”

“Get inside quickly”

“Then, please excuse me”

She takes her shoes off, and her long elastic feet steps inside the flooring of my house

No matter how you look at her, she only looks like a hue on her back

“Is the living rooht?”
