— Living Room – Tetsuya Home —

There are 5 people in the living room, Tetsuya who already change his clothes into newer ones, Anna, Shuri, Akeno, and Shirou. All of them are sitting on the sofas in the living room except for Shirou who just come to the living room because of his curiosity to see Shuri and Akeno due to he never met other people except his family.

“Mommy who is those people?” Said Shirou who is looking to both Shuri and Akeno.

“Oh this is Mommy’s friend and this is her daughter, say hello to both of them Shirou.” Said Anna with a smile on her face while looking at Shirou.

“Nice to meet you, my name is Tohno Shirou.” Said Shirou who is introducing himself to both Shuri who is sitting beside Anna and Akeno who is sitting beside Tetsuya.

“Nice… to meet… you, my name is Himejima Akeno…” Said Akeno who is hugging Tetsuya’s left hand with both of her hands with a shy expression.

The reason for Akeno hugging Tetsuya’s hand is because she is afraid that she will lose him if she let go of him. After the event on the Shrine, Akeno feels some change inside of her, but she didn’t know what it is. But when she sees so much blood on Tetsuya’s clothes, there is one feeling inside of her that shows up. the feeling inside her is fear, the fear of losing Tetsuya. She doesn’t want to imagine what it feels like to lose the first friend she had and also the first time She feels an unknown feeling inside her when seeing Tetsuya.

“Nice to meet you too, Shirou-Kun. My name is Shuri, you can call me Shuri-onee-sa–” Shuri who is trying to introduce herself suddenly is being karate chop by Anna who shows a deadpan expression on her face.

“Ouchh, Why are you hitting me?” Said Shuri while pouting.

“Mind your age Shuri, you’re too old to be called such thing as ‘onee-san’” Said Anna with a deadpan expression.

“What do you mean I’m too old, I’m still 26 so are you.” Said Shuri who is still pouting while looking at Anna.

“Shirou, you don’t have to call her that, just call her Shuri-san just like Tetsuya.” Said Anna who is ignoring Shuri’s antics while looking at Shirou.

Shirou only nodded while looking at Anna.

“Anyway Shirou can you go to your room, mommy will have some private talk here.” Said Anna while looking at Shirou with a smile.

“Ehh… What about Tetsuya-nii?” ask Shirou with a sad expression.

“Looks like I have something to do with this private talk. Shirou why don’t you go to your room first, I will play with you later.” Said Tetsuya with a wry smile on his face.

Shirou who hears Tetsuya respond nodded happily after hearing that Tetsuya will play with him after he has done with the private talk. Shirou then goes to his room.

“Does Shirou know anything about the supernatural side?” asks Shuri while looking at Anna.

“Well, he knows a little bit about the supernatural, but the topic We’re going to discuss is about a s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e topic that is related to what Kokabiel said to the three of you.” Said Anna while looking at Shuri, Akeno, and Tetsuya.

“Is it about the ‘True-God’ that I tell you about?” asks Shuri with a serious expression.

Anna only nodded with a serious expression while looking at Shuri.

“I want the three of you to keep quiet about the things about ‘True-God’ from others.” Said Anna while looking at Shuri, Akeno, and Tetsuya.

“Can I ask you why?” asks Shuri while looking at Anna.

“If this information spread into others, the community of supernatural side will slowly go into chaos, as the status of all God will slowly disappear as the highest being in the existence, well all of the gods know about the True-God existence, but decide to keep quiet about it, due to they being bind by the curse of the True-God.” Said Anna while looking at all the three of them.

“Then how did you know about it?” asks Shuri while looking at Anna.

“Well, I have a Shisou that I haven’t seen for such a long time, though She also teaches Yukio as well. Well, She is the one who tells me about the existence of the ‘True-God’ due to my awakening my ‘True God’ bloodline, well Yukio also knows about ‘True-God’.” Said Anna while looking at Shuri.

‘Hmm… My mom Shisou… Why does the word ‘Shisou’ and that she knows about the ‘True-God’ keep reminding me of the red spear Shisou from the land of shadow. Well, there is no way the Shisou that I think is the same as my mom Shisou, right??… probably.’ think Tetsuya with some complicated expression on his face.

“Well, there is probably some other person who knows about it as well through other circ.u.mstances, such as Old man Zelrecth.” Said Anna.

“Zelretch! Do you mean Zelretch the Wizard Marshall from Mage’s Association?!” Said Shuri with a surprised expression.

“Yep.” Said Anna with a carefree expression.

“Well, anyway please keep quiet about this matter.” Said Anna while looking at Shuri, Akeno, and Tetsuya.

Shuri, Akeno, and Tetsuya only nodded at Anna.

“Anyway Tetsuya how is your body doing? If you don’t feel well you can rest now. We can continue our talk later.” Said Anna who is worried about Tetsuya’s condition.

“Don’t worry mom, I’m fine. Look there is no wound around my body.” Said Tetsuya while looking at Anna.

When Anna finds Tetsuya in the shrine, she saw there is so much blood on Tetsuya’s clothes. But soon she notices there isn’t any single wound on Tetsuya wound, and confused as to why there is no wound that Tetsuya receives. But suddenly, she notices so many divine energies let out from Tetsuya’s body. Anna who saw the divine energy is shocked since she cannot believe that her own son succeeds at awakening the ‘True-God’ bloodline. Now she knows why Tetsuya can heal himself is due to ‘Divine Energy’ from the ‘True God’. One of the abilities that ‘True God’ can have is to heal themself with ‘Divine Energy’.

But she doesn’t realize that Tetsuya has not yet to be able to control his ‘Divine Energy’ and he only healed his body due to the effect of ‘Status recovery’. But the only thing She is confused about is that Tetsuya is able to defeat Kokabiel. She knows that to be able to defeat Kokabiel, Tetsuya needs more than the power of the ‘True-God’ to be able to defeat Kokabiel.

Anna also expected that Tetsuya probably uses ‘Crimson Red Vermillion’, but she didn’t expect that Tetsuya will win due to when awakening the ‘True-God’ bloodline in the beginning it will boost only a little of your power but after constant use on the divine energy on your body, there will be immense improve on your overall power, and the more you use it, you will get stronger and stronger. But what Anna didn’t know is that Tetsuya uses the form that surpasses ‘Crimson Red Vermillion’ that is ‘Red Vermillion Oni’ and also fuse with the dragon inside of ‘Incursio’ to defeat Kokabiel who use already use a power-up.

Anna also doesn’t expect Tetsuya to be able to kill so many people, after seeing all the corpses around the shrine. Normally normal people will be hesitant to kill a person, but that didn’t apply to Tetsuya.

“Are you the one who kill Kokabiel?” asks Anna while looking at Tetsuya.

“Yeah.” Said Tetsuya with a neutral face while looking at Anna.

Anna who hear Tetsuya’s answer only nodded.

“Then how did you kill Kokabiel?” asks Anna with an intrigued expression on her face.

“About that… Shuri-san, do you remember the weapon that I had when battling against that old guy?” asks Tetsuya who wants to say old shit but decides not to in front of his mother.

“Yes, the one that you pull from Dimensional gap with the short sword with a chain-link tassel in it, right??” asks Shuri who also seems to be intrigued by Anna’s question to Tetsuya.

“Wait hold up… How do you have a weapon? and Where do you learn to store items into the Dimensional gap?” asks Anna while looking at Tetsuya.

“Ehh, Is the one where you pull your item out from called Dimensional gap?” asks Tetsuya who is a little bit shocked since he only knows the Dimensional gap as a place that connected the three world, but soon he remembers that Arthur Pendragon from DxD has the ability to store weapon into another dimension, well he thought that probably it has some connection with the dimensional gap or something.

Anna who has the ability to see a person is lying or not through someone’s aura is shocked when he sees Tetsuya doesn’t know what is the name of where he pulled his weapon and she found Tetsuya is not lying. She is just speechless on how she found out that her son Tetsuya can store weapon without knowing the name where he stores. But of course, this is a misunderstanding as Tetsuya stores all his items in the [INVENTORY] system.

“Can you store any item in there?” asks Anna while looking at Tetsuya.

“Well yeah, I can.” Said Tetsuya.

“Then can you store this?” asks Anna while handing One of Shriou’s toys that Shirou left in the living room.

Tetsuya who already expected that his mom will ask him to store something only nodded as a reply and try to store Shirou’s toy with his right hand since his left hand is occupied by Akeno hug by opening the [INVENTORY] system with his mind.

Anna who sees Tetsuya store Shirou’s toy, only getting more shock as she cannot sense anything that connected from the Dimensional Gap to where Tetsuya is storing it.

“Tetsuya can you pull Shirou’s toy again?” asks Anna.

“Sure.” Said Tetsuya while looking at Anna while pulling Shirou’s toy from [INVENTORY] system.

“Tetsuya where did you study how to store an item in the other space? and also please explain where did you get that weapon?” asks Anna with a curious tone.

Tetsuya already knows that his mother can detect when somebody is lying, he didn’t know if his mother can read his mind or not, but he has a countermeasure for it, but for this countermeasure to work he needs to sacrifice something.

{A/N: ‘( )’=What he is saying that is related to the truth}

“Ah… about that, when I wake up (after dead), I see all of my surroundings black (darkroom of void), and then I met a woman (The Goddess), Then she says to me that I’m the chosen one (One of the chosen one to get reincarnated) I think… Then she gives me the ability to store any item (through the system) and I got the weapon from the Woman (through the starter pack).” Said Tetsuya while hiding some facts that related to his reincarnation and also the system but all of what he says is still not a lie. Now he will try to see if his mother can read his mind.

Anna who listens to this is speechless at Tetsuya’s explanation. She can sense that Tetsuya doesn’t lie a single word on what he says, unbelievably this puts Anna accepted Tetsuya’s explanation, and make Anna think that Tetsuya receives his power in his dream. But what on Anna’s mind right now is another thing.

‘Who is the Woman who gives Tetsuya power? Is it something related to the ‘True-God’? But if so what is the purpose to give Tetsuya power? Is it really like what Tetsuya says that he is a chosen one? What kind of meaning does the ‘Chosen one’ contain? Agghhh this is so confusing!!’ think Anna with all complicated things mixed together and starting to blow some steam inside her head.

Shuri who right now sees that Anna has been overloaded with too much information could only smile wryly. As a childhood friend, she knows that in the department of the brain, Anna is not the best person you could ask for if you’re trying to solve a problem.

‘Looks like I was right about my assumption.’ think Tetsuya while looking at his mother. It’s not like he is so secretive about the thing that related to his system, but just to be safe he just needs to be more Overpower since this world is full of random stuff he didn’t expect to shows up, such as Kokabiel that is too strong for Tetsuya to fight if he didn’t have any trump card to fight. And if he tells someone close to him about the system, what he fears is that someday someone close to him is going to be in danger because of the information that he tells, since he didn’t know if someone in this world knows about the system, and if they did and they are trying to hurt someone close to him, he needs to be ready for it. Everyone who hears his reasoning probably would say that he is too cautious, or something. But he rather being cautious than letting someone close to him getting killed while he cannot do anything about it, so he doesn’t repeat the same mistake that he did in his past life and regret it.

‘*sigh* Looks like that can wait for another time.’ think Anna while sighing in a tired manner.

“Why didn’t you tell me about all of this, Tetsuya?” asks Anna while looking at Tetsuya.

“I want to be stronger than both of dad and also you, mom. So that I can surprise you when I already surpass both of you when the time comes.” Said Tetsuya with a smile and all the words he says are all the truth as he wants to see his parent’s reaction when he suddenly gets stronger than both of them.

Anna who sees Tetsuya could only sigh and smile at her son.

“*sigh* Anyway Tetsuya can you bring up your weapon out? I want to see what kind of weapon did you possess.” asks Anna while looking at Tetsuya.

“About that… Looks like my weapon is broken while fighting Kokabiel.” Said Tetsuya with a wry smile as he didn’t hide any hidden truth behind it.

“Eh…” Anna is surprised and also confused when hearing that Tetsuya’s weapon is broken.

“So, how do you beat Kokabiel then??” asks Anna while looking at Tetsuya.

“When the weapon that I use is broken, the monster inside the weapon starting to fuse with me and that let me transform into that monster inside the weapon.” Said Tetsuya while smile wryly who could only sigh tiredly in his mind that he spent quite many on ‘Dragon-Energy Manipulation’ to hide this fact, but instead he actually has no choice but to reveal it. At first, he is going to use ‘Mystic Eyes of Death Perception’ as an excuse, but later he thought that his parent is going to keep surveillance on him, so he doesn’t use the ‘Mystic Eyes of Death Perception’ accidentally on normal people. He will be weirded if his parent didn’t keep surveillance at him, since a normal child that gets to see the lines of death and can cut anything is going to be fear since that child can accidentally cut others. So he decides to use Incursio as an excuse and also told his mother about the Tyrant is a monster rather than a Dragon since he is still 5 years old and wants to act like his age.

“WHATT?!” Shouted Anna with a surprised expression.

“But don’t worry I can control the transformation of that monster.” Said Tetsuya who shows his right hand.

Tetsuya’s right-hand skin slowly turns into a dragon scale and this causes Anna and Shuri to be surprised. Akeno who sees Tetsuya’s right hand turn into a dragon scale is amazed by it and wants to touch it.

“Can I touch it?” asks Akeno while looking at Tetsuya with glittering in her eyes.

“Sure.” Said Tetsuya while nodded at Akeno with a smile.

Akeno then touches all over Tetsuya’s right hand and Tetsuya who sees Akeno touch all over his right hand can only wryly smile at her.

‘This Energy and this hand… This is similar to Dragon Energy, but somehow it’s a little bit different.’ thinks Anna while looking at Tetsuya.

“So that is different from the armor you wear in the shrine?” asks Shuri while looking at Tetsuya.

“What do you mean by that Shuri!?” asks Anna who is looking at Shuri with a surprised and confused expression.

“About that, that weapon can make me transform into wearing a costume, and it can make me faster and stronger… But as I was saying, the weapon that I use is broken and then fused with my body.” Said Tetsuya while looking at Anna.

“A Sacred Gear type of weapon, but I never see a Sacred Gear that fused with its host… Perhaps is this an Ancient Weapon or a True Ancient Weapon?” Said Anna while looking at Tetsuya’s right hand.

‘Ancient Weapon?!’ think Tetsuya with a confused expression, he knows about Sacred Gear from DxD, but he never hears about Ancient Weapon and True Ancient Weapon. He then decides to ask Anna about it.

“Mom, what is Sacred Gear, Ancient Weapon, and True Ancient Weapon?” asks Tetsuya while looking at Anna.

“Ah… yes I never told you didn’t I.” Said Anna while looking at Tetsuya.

“Yes, you never told me, mom.” Said Tetsuya with a deadpan expression.

Anna then first started to explain what is Sacred Gear, but of course, Tetsuya who knows about DxD already knows about Sacred Gear.

{A/N: highschooldxd.fandom.com/wiki/Sacred_Gear}

Then Anna started to explain about Ancient Weapon and also True Ancient Weapon to Tetsuya. From what Tetsuya can learn, True Ancient Weapon is a historical weapon that is used by some historical figure or others, and Ancient Weapon is the lesser version of True Ancient Weapon that accidentally created by the God of the Bible, the reason why the God of the Bible accidentally created this weapon is not clear though.

“Anyway, this is quite hard to figure what kind of weapon you have, since the weapon is already destroyed… All I could do is wait for Yukio to go back home, I guess…” Said Anna while sighing tiredly.

“Then for the last question… Tetsuya, what do you feel when you kill someone for the first time?” asks Anna with a serious expression.

“Nothing… I feel Nothing…” Said Tetsuya who transform his right hand into normal and put his right hand toward his c.h.e.s.t with a hollow expression.

Anna knows someday Tetsuya will kill a person and as a parent, she didn’t expect that her son will kill at the age of 5. She didn’t want her son to kill a person aimlessly as later he would kill someone innocent. Anna as a parent didn’t want her son to stray and become a mindless person who kills someone without have any feelings. When Anna is about to say something to Tetsuya, Tetsuya continues his sentence.

“But… the feeling to not be able to protect someone close to you is too painful. I rather kill someone who wants to harm someone close to me, rather than watching them kill someone close to me.” Said Tetsuya with a lot of determination in his eyes as he looking at his mother’s eyes. As a person who cannot protect someone he loves in his past life, he didn’t want the same thing to happen again in his new life.

Anna who sees there is not a single lie on Tetsuya’s word could only open her eyes wide and soon a smile show on her face as she looks at Tetsuya’s determination.

“Then please don’t forget what you just said today, don’t stray from the path that you just choose, Tetsuya.” Said Anna while looking at her son with a smile.

“Yes.” Said Tetsuya who nodded at his mom with a smile on his face.

“But, please don’t kill your classmate when they’re bothering you when you start school next year, okay?” asks Anna while looking at Tetsuya with a deadpan expression.

“Of course not, why would I do that.” Said Tetsuya with a wry smile.

“And the creature you call monster is called the dragon. Please don’t transform into that dragon form in the public, well it is related to the things I said about the things where I told you that supernatural side should never show themself to normal people.” Said Anna while looking at Tetsuya.

Tetsuya only nodded at his mother.

“Anyway you should rest for now Tetsuya, you should be tired after all the hardship that you faced today right?” asks Anna while looking at Tetsuya with a worried expression.

“Nah, I promise Shirou to play with him after this.” Said Tetsuya with a cheerful expression.

“I see, well then go have some fun with your brother.” Said Anna while looking at Tetsuya with a smile on her face.

‘Wait the minute why didn’t mom ask about how I heal myself… Is it related to my True-God bloodline? Well, at least she didn’t ask, and also the other question like when did I obtain these kinds of power, that would be hard to answer.’ think Tetsuya.

“Okay, Akeno let’s go play too.” Said Tetsuya while looking at Akeno with a smile.

Akeno who heard Tetsuya then nodded with a smile on her face.

Both Tetsuya and Akeno then go to Shirou’s room while holding hands. This cause Anna and Shuri to smile at both of their interaction.

“Ara ara looks like both of them are going to marry in the future.” Said Shuri with a smile on her face.

“True, but by looking at his personality right now, my son will probably a lady killer in the future. And this would mean that I will have so many grandchildren.” Said Anna with a happy smile.

{A/N: Anyway polygamy rules exist in this world. And both of them don’t talk about it, due to it becomes common sense.}

Shuri who heard Anna could only smile wryly.

“Anyway, how is Yukio doing?” Said Shuri while looking at Anna.

“Well he is doing great, but he spent most of the time traveling around the world for business.” Said Anna while sighing.

“Too bad, I want to see the so-called Vermillion Ogre, who used to be my classmate.” Said Shuri with a sad smile.

“Well, if you want to do that… why don’t you just live here, I mean both you and Akeno.” Said Anna with a carefree expression.

“What?!” Said Shuri with a confused and surprised expression.

“I mean your house already get destroyed right?? Why don’t you live with me?” Said Anna while looking at Shuri.

“Wait wait wait, I will pass on that, that will trouble you wouldn’t it?!” Said Shuri with a panic expression.

“Don’t worry about it we still have so many empty rooms around the house.” Said Anna with a smile on her face.

After both of them discussion reaches a certain conclusion, Shuri decides that she is going to live here with Akeno.

“Anyway, I need to go out for a while.” Said Anna with a smile on her face while looking at Shuri. But the smile that Anna put is not a normal smile.

“Where are you going?” asks Shuri who already figured out what Anna is about to do from her smile.

“I’m going to buy some preparation for both You and Akeno-chan Welcome party, well I’m going to stop by to someplace. Anyway, I’m going to put a barrier so stay here while I’m still outside alright.” Said Anna with the same smile on her face.

“Okay…” Said Shuri who could only sigh as she knows that Anna is about to stop by at the Himejima clan and probably Grigori, but it’s not like that she can’t stop Anna who is about to do some slaughter. She just hopes that Anna wouldn’t hurt Suzaku.

Anna then let out a purple katana sword from her own dimensional gap and then slash toward an empty space in front of her with the purple katana sword in her hand. This causes a big crack that opens up a portal in front of her.

“You never cease to surprise me every time.” Said Shuri while sighing.

“Then I’m off.” Said Anna while walking toward the portal.
