Chapter 8 – My First Time Scaring Children
Of all the girls in the Occult Research Club, Akeno Himejima seemed by far the easiest to get along with. She was reserved, but kind, gracious, and affectionate. Not to mention that she was very beautiful, seen as the second princess of the Kuoh Academy.
So I confess that I was quite nervous when Rias Gremory proposed that she be the person to accompany me on my first mission.
As I wasn't yet able to use the portals, Akeno and I had to go on a bicycle borrowed from Kiba. At one point, Akeno, with his teasing personality, saw me looking at her briefly and decided to make a little joke.
"Arara~ Leo..." she said in a teasing voice as her slender arms wrapped around my waist. "You're in such a hurry. I almost fell just now."
Her tone of voice made my heart race, and I could feel the heat rising to my face. I tried to concentrate on the road ahead, but it was hard to ignore the feel of her arms around me, and the soft, firm pressure of her breasts against my back. Those breasts... I had never felt such softness. It was like I had two pillows on my back. Every little movement of the bike made me move, and I felt her breasts moving too. It was then, at a bend, that she grabbed onto me completely.
"We're almost there, Akeno!" I replied.
"Oh, what a shame. I thought we'd take a bit longer." She sighed.
I knew that Akeno was known for her provocative nature, but feeling it first-hand was a completely different experience. Every time she moved, even if it was just to adjust her position on the bike, I could feel the softness of her breasts pressing against my back and I wanted to touch them, how I wanted to touch them! It was such a divine sensation, so pure, that for a moment, even I, a devil, felt like I was entering heaven.
Finally, we spotted our destination ahead. It was a small sanctuary in the middle of the city, almost hidden between the residential buildings and the tall trees.
I parked the bike and helped Akeno down, offering her a hand. In gratitude, she gave me a smile that made my heart race once again. In itself, she was a heart test.
"Thanks for your help, Leo."
"You're welcome," I replied, trying to keep my composure. "So, what must be the problem here? Why would they summon devils in a shrine?"
She shrugged. "It's not our job to question. We should just fulfill the request and collect the signature on the contract."
"As you wish."
Akeno and I began to climb the shrine's staircase. The place, although small and shabby, exuded tranquillity with those bells swaying just a little in the early evening breeze.
As we reached the top, I saw an old man, bent by age but with eyes that still shone. He was sweeping the entrance to the temple with a worn broom. When he saw us, he stopped and gave us a slight nod.
"Welcome," he greeted in a gruff voice and with a gentle smile. "You must be THEM."
At that moment, Akeno almost stood up from behind the bushes and sparks of electricity shot out of her eyes. Contrary to what I expected, she definitely wasn't joking when she said she would scare the children.
[Your understanding about Akeno Himejima's character has increased.]
"Wait, Akeno," I muttered, trying to keep my voice down so as not to alert the children. "Maybe I should talk to them."
"Why do you think that, Leo? It's not like I'm going to electrocute them for real."
I swallowed. I didn't want to say it was because she was really scary when she was taking things seriously.
"You're... well, you know, you're a pretty girl. They might feel intimidated or even too charmed to listen to you. Besides, Rias gave me this mission. I should handle it."
Akeno smiled. "I see. All right, Leo. I'll just watch you act."
