*Clap*Clap*Clap*
A series of applause interrupted the stillness of the night. Rias Gremory, who was happy to have found a new servant for her nobility, immediately raised her guard, keeping the Evil Pieces in her pocket and preparing a magic circle in her hand ready to destroy. whoever got in his way.
--Calm down cowgirl~ I'm just a spectator of a play~
From among the shadows appeared a young man with totally black hair, eyes and clothes, more than black it was like clothing the darkness itself, the young man came out of the shadows and the light from the streetlights defined his image more clearly. Rias Gremory lowered her hand and undid the spell, since she knew this young man or rather had heard of him, the strange character in front of her, was the younger brother of the young man who was preparing to reincarnate.
--What are you doing here Hyoudou Souji-kun?
--Nothing special, just watching a play, "Iseei's Heartbreak~" or "Pierced at Sunset~"... Those are good titles, aren't they?
The redhead asked with a calm tone but in her mind she is slightly terrified by his answer, she had not felt his presence and he had clearly been there before his arrival, more than that, he had seen how his brother was killed and the she seemed to enjoy that fact, an idea had formed in her mind, the man in front of her was a lunatic or a sadistic sociopath, but the worst thing was that she couldn't feel hostility towards her or lies in his words, which made her angry in a way
--Did you really just watch your brother get killed?!
The Gremory are known in the underworld for many things but above all their love and care for their relatives and servants, they are the devils of the family and this man seemed to enjoy the death of his brother, she could not understand or forgive him.
--Yep~ I was hoping that one or two deaths would take away the idiocy~ now come on Hime-sama, reincarnate him and see if once is enough~
The young man said with a smile as he pulled out a chair, a table and a tea set from the shadows. Sitting on the furniture, he proceeded to serve the tea in a cup and look at the young woman.
--Do you like?
The young man in black points to the seat next to him and the empty cup, but the young redhead could only look at him in amazement and anger.
--You really don't care?
--The one who turns into a demon or the one who is dead?
--Do you know what I am?
asked the redhead after a second of delay before proceeding to reincarnate her future Pawn.
--I know what you are and I really don't care, by the way, I've been slaughtering some monsters for the last few days, I guess they were your kind although I doubt they'll miss them~
The young man boasted pulling a mutilated corpse out of his shadow, making the young demon blanch as she engaged in the rebirth ritual.
--Hmm? So those are the damn pieces~ Sona will have trouble getting me ones that will work~
The young redhead finished the ritual while listening to the words of the young lunatic mentioning the name of her friend and rival. He had heard from his right-hand man that his rival Sona Sitri had come into contact with the younger brother of the Hyoudou family, only he did not expect her to be so open with the information with the latter.
--Are you part of Sona's nobility?
She asked releasing a bit of her demonic energy since she didn't feel comfortable around him, she thought he was a beast in human form, how his silhouette blurred in the dark every time she stopped focusing on him was disconcerting and disturbing. .
--Unfortunately I can't die so I can't reincarnate as a devil, Gremory-sempai~ I still have a lot of fun hunting those vermin~ I hope it's not a problem?
Again his words were honest and full of sincerity and calm, now he understood why his Knight, Kiba Yuuto said that this man was interesting, he is really terrifying.
--So the low number of strays in recent days is your thing?
Asked the young woman sitting in the empty chair while the young man in black served her the fragrant and warm Jasmine tea.
--Yep~ I hope it's not an inconvenience?
The young man took a sip of his tea.
--You alone?
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
--That's right~
--As?
--Slashing them with my sword~ *Tsk*
With a snap of his fingers, hundreds of black blades shot out of the shadows across the entire park transforming it into a sea of dark swords.
--Magic, no, a Sacred Gear on this scale?
The young demon was surprised, excited and terrified by the young man before her, a part of her wanted to dig into the corners of her friend since he was not yet part of her peerage and was a free agent to recruit but another part repudiated the The idea of having him around because of the little he had seen and knew about him was too contrary to his values to unite him with his nobility.
--Magic or Sacred Gear~ I'll leave it to your imagination, since I don't know myself~ Gremory-sempai~ Now if you'll excuse me~ I'll take my stupid brother home, if you'll excuse me.
With an elegant gesture, both the chairs and the table and he disappeared into the shadows, as did the body of the young man with brown hair.
--See you, Gremory-sempai~
With a smile, the young man disappeared into the shadows of the nearby forest.
Left alone in the park, Rias Gremory could only sigh and lift up a magic circle and bring it to her ear.
--Akeno... find all the information you can about Hyoudou Iseei and Hyoudou Souji. Everything!
The young woman's voice was stoic and serious.
--Whoa, whoa~ Rias, what happened?
A seductive and flirtatious voice echoed from the magic circle.
--Nothing to worry about, it's just that... I reincarnated as Hyoudou Iseei and Hyoudou Souji appeared... I'll tell you the rest later.
--Ara, ara~ such intriguing brothers~
--Actually...
Sighing, the young devil formed a carriage circle and disappeared from the dark park.

Pov Souji
After a little trip on the Shadows Express, I tossed a bloodied Iseei carelessly into the bath before grabbing a bucket of cold water and throwing it on his silly head.
*SPLASH*
--WOW !!!
Thank goodness I had locked the inside of the bathroom with a cloak of shadows since my stupid brother woke up with a thunderous scream, it seems his lungs were spared.
--Welcome to the world of the living~ Princess~
Rei while looking at Isei confused and somewhat terrified, his face was pale and his eyes moved erratically, while he muttered incoherently to himself. I threw another bucket of water at him.
*SPLASH*
--Guoh... Souji?...cough*cough...why am I in the bathroom? No! Why the fuck are you throwing a bucket of water at me?
--Look at your abdomen and remember~ little princess~
Without further ado, I threw the third bucket of water on his head.
Iseei ignored me and looked at his stomach, he saw the hole in his clothes and the blood stains as well as the reddish water on the floor, his complexion turned as white as paper before he hugged the toilet and vomited.
She really did have a nervous breakdown, I could barely contain my laughter, that and the urge to stick her head in the toilet and flush it but considering the trauma she must be developing and the fact that she's just been reborn, let's just leave it at that for her new birthday. ~and let's be a good brother just this once~
Nah~! Let's hit it some more!
--I heard~ Iseei~ do you remember what happened~?
--You...knew...didn't you?
Issei looked at me trembling as if I were his executioner, this idiot is really traumatized, and I thought that his perversion and idiocy made him immune to mental damage.
--Bro~ Anyone with one or two functional brain cells would realize that a hot girl doesn't appear out of nowhere and confess to one of the three biggest perverts from the most famous academy in town... I thought it would be a gambling or organ trafficking~ hence the Jump~ but it seems that it didn't help much~
I showed the perforated magazine to Iseei, the spear made a clean hole the size of my fist in the magazine.
--I was really surprised when that girl transformed into a Sexy BDSM Dominatrix with raven wings and all~
I laughed as Iseei dropped into a fetal position, I let the water from the shower fall on him, let's give him some decency and let him cry as he pleases.
--I did not dream it? Wasn't it a dream? Tell me it was a dream... Souji...
--Nope~ it was 100% real~ there is physical and photographic evidence to confirm it~
I showed him a photo that I took with my phone, the photo of his body lying on the ground with his intestines and everything hanging out of his body.
--It was real...
--Yeah~ really, really and not the pirate~
--So...Ri...Rias-sempai?
--Yeah~ she was real too my dear and non-human little brother~
I patted the shoulder of a somewhat reinstated Iseei, his perversion really is bulletproof, the idiot began to fantasize about the redhead's breasts before stopping dead and asking me with a shaky voice.
--Wait...did you say..."Not Human"?
--Did you notice~ Ero-gomi idiot~ normal humans don't survive that kind of injury~ luckily the big-breasted Redhead isn't very human and she recycled your pathetic ass to be her slave/toy/servant~no sexual for your bad luck~
I clapped my hands and dumped a fourth bucket of water on Iseei.
*SPLASH*
--Stop throwing water at me and go to the Inkhead point!
--Okay, and just because you're too dumb to understand... You're a devil, the exotic redhead from Gremory is a devil, and many others in the school are devils too~
--Demons?
--Yep~ like the ones in the bible~
--I do not believe you...
Isei growled softly as he tried to find an escape from my words. I smiled and took a small item out of my pocket.
--Since you don't think you're a devil~ hold this little thing~
I showed a simple silver crucifix, lightly engraved with the 23rd Psalm, Iseei broke out in sweat when he saw it and his whole body trembled.
--Ah...ah...ah...
His mouth was opening and closing, but he couldn't reach out and take the crucifix in fact just being near it made him tremble.
--You see~ you are afraid, afraid of a piece of jewelry~ Tell me your instinct tells you to run away?
--....
Iseei remained silent but his eyes widened as his pupils shrank to mere needle points.
--Accept it brother, you're not human~ well I'm not very normal either~
I created a tentacle of my shadow and sat on it.
--Souji...you...also...died?
--No, unlike you, I was born with cheat powers~ and recently encountered the supernatural world and learned a few things~
--...So I'm a demon and you're an ESPER? Will you shoot lightning or control the molecules?
--I'm not pikachu nor the alvin of quantum physics~
--Okay... so what's your power?
--Other than trolling you to death and back?
--Other than that.
--Hmmm~ I won't tell you~
I removed the shadow from the door and left the bathroom leaving a confused Iseei on the floor, only before leaving I placed the crucifix on the inside knob of the bathroom, tangling it so that he couldn't open the door without touching it.
Enjoy Iseei's pained face when he saw the symbol of the cross hanging on the door.
--...Inkhead bastard.
