Strays (Part I)
"What took you so long?" Rias Gremory, the little sister of the current Lucifer, asked upon my arrived near the location where the Stray Devil is hiding right now. The others (with the exception of Raynare) looked at me with curious expression compared to the red head's frown.
"I'm sorry, I should have used my none existing wings to get here faster next time." I said sarcastically towards the red head with a bored expression on my face. I honestly didn't care if she's pissed or annoyed at me when I took my little detour "Please forgive this innocent man for the sins that he never committed."
"He's not innocent!" Raynare shouted, suddenly attentive to her surroundings now.
"I was being sarcastic, you idiot." I replied to the Fallen Angel with deadpanned eyes, before turning towards Gremory with a raised eyebrow "So, shouldn't we be heading inside to get the Stray?"
"It's easier said then done." The red head replied with a shake of her head.
"The Stray has the ability to control monstrous bees, similar to how the original Beelzebub was know for controlling nearly any insect." Himejima added in, which made me raise an eyebrow at why the red head isn't the person that's going to finish the explanation... I know that she's kinda lazy, but this is just stupid "He became arrogant because of it and started to call himself the second coming of Lord Beelzebub, even giving himself the name Beelze."
"He-"
"Okay, so the guy can control bigger and uglier bees." I said uncaringly, bored out of my mind at the useless chit-chat that I decided to just cut right into the case. I can guess why they're not leading the way towards their prey, the place probably infested with the bees "I honestly don't care about his backstory or why he choose to make himself a Stray. So what if the guy has spies all over the greenhouse? We can just find a way to get rid of them before they can do anything to us."
"It's rude to cutoff someone when they're talking, Kōjiro-kun." Gremory said in a scolding manner, like how a parent would scold their kid... I wouldn't mind a very beautiful woman like her to be my mom, but that's beside the point "Also, it's not as simple as you think. The bees he control are called Vespoids, and they carry a deadly poison that can paralyse a full grown Devil to they point that they looked like they've died. You're human, so you're more likely to died from never the smallest dosage."
"It's not like I'm going to let myself be sting by some ugly bug, so no need to worry Mom." I said the last word sarcastically, enjoying the annoyed expression from her face "So, are we going in there or not? Because it would be a waste if time if we're just going to stand here."
I became cautious when the frown on Gremory's face suddenly turned into a devious smirk... I don't like the look on her face right now, not one bit. It spells trouble for me, and no one else right now "Since you're so eager to get some action, why don't you go inside first?" Gremory suggested, with a tone that says 'I dare you to do x, or else you're a chicken'.
... And here I thought for a second that she's going to use me as bait for the bees, asking me to make as much noise as possible to attract the bugs to where I'm supposed to be located. Her suggestion is perfect for me since I can test out the [Ryūsui Gansai-Ken], plus I want see how I would fair against something that's actually alive and not dead "Sure, I got no problem with that." I said with a shrug before I started jogging towards the greenhouse's entrance.
"E-Eh?" Gremory cried out when she registered what I said to her "W-Wait a second! I was just joking! A joke! Come back here!" The red head shouted at me, but I didn't listen and quickly got inside the small building afterward er strengthening my legs with [Reinforcement].
The moment I got inside, I was greeted by a large group of the supposed bees and I stopped for a sec to make sure that I'm not seeing things... Aren't those things the annoying bugs from the [Monster Hunter] series?
"[Obverse]."
Name: Vespoids
LvL: 18
HP: 190/190
MP: 20
Type: Insect
Looks like I was right... I kinda expected the stats because they're insects, creatures that can be crushed easily by nearly anyone, but they make it up by a large group to swarm their enemies in a similar case to how ants can conquer invades as an army.
"Who dares e-e-enter my dom-domain!?" An angry but stuttering voice demand, bringing my attention toward the source to see... Angelo Agnus without the halo from [Devil May Cry 4].
Character Name: Beelze (self-given name), Bob Trump
Alignment: None
LvL: 27
Profession: Stray Devil and [Bishop]
Title: Self-Proclaimed Second Coming of Beelzebub
Fame: None
HP: 190/190 Regen: 1 per hour
MP: 980/980 Regen: 4.7 per minute
The large MP and below average HP are what I expected from him, considering the [Evil Piece] inside him. Despite his large built, he doesn't look like the type fight in close combat... I could be right since appearance can be deceiving at times.
"Ho? Ju-Just another snack for my little b-babies." Bob said with a menacing stutter... As if! It would have been menacing if he doesn't stutter so much has a much deep voice. In fact, his voice contrast his ugly and slightly horrifying (for humans) appearance that it's not even funny "Well then-"
With a slight boost from [Mana Burst], I instantly appeared in front of the Stray without him realising it before I began to hit him rapidly with reinforced fists. Despite just getting the [Ryūsui Gansai-Ken] nearly an hour ago, I can fight with the martial arts through memory... But I know that my attacks are very sloppy compared to Bang or Garou if I get the chance to spar with any of them, since I haven't properly trained with the martial arts yet.
When I felt the Vespoids went to attack me, I let loose and unleashed a strong last of [Mana Burst] all over my body to replicate a grenade blowing up. It killed the bees that were too close to me while the others and Bob were blown away, but I won't let the Stray gain any distance. I ran at him and got a hold of left leg, pulling back him back toward me before bringing down my right fist to his face, using [Mana Burst] once again to immense damage.
The head came crashing down on the ground first before the rest of the body did, and I was greeted by the ugly sight of a fucked up face. It was already ugly and I just made it even worse by breaking it-
-!?
I skipped away from the body when the Vespoids where getting a bit too close for my comfort. I was slight surprised when they began entering Bob's body, reminding on that time when the piles of flesh were gathering to form the Zombie Chimeras at the Instant Dungeon last week.
Then out of nowhere, the Stray Devil's body suddenly shot up into the air like its getting possessed by an evil spirit. It was twitching in the air for a few seconds before calming and then Bob looked back me with his face fully healed... So he can sacrifice some of his Vespoids to repair the damage that I dealt to him. So I just have to kill this time, no problem with that option.
"Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-You'll p-pay for dam-dam-damaging my beautiful fac-face!" Bob stuttered so bad that I couldn't properly understand what he just said... But I think that it's something related to when I punched his face.
"Oh I-I-I'm so-sorry bu-but I cou-couldn't under-under-understand a word y-you just said t-to me." I stuttered back mockingly, but actually a bit honest that I didn't understand what he said "Co-Co-Could you spe-speak l-l-l-like a normal pers-person?"
"Y-You..." Bob hissed, his voice reaching the point that he no doubt wants to slaughter me before defiling my corpse to the point that it's unrecognisable anymore... Too bad, because the only thing that's going to die here-
"Stray Devil Beelze!" A familiar voice called out from the entrance of the greenhouse, bringing my and Bob's attention towards it to see a certain someone with her little group along side an additional extra.
"We're here to destroy you!" Gremory-san declare, announcing her, Raynare's and the peerage's presence to the enemy...
-_-
"...Really?" I started, making everbody pause for a second and look at me in confusion, even the enemy that I was fighting earlier "You had to announce your presence, like some cliché anime protagonist that enters the enemy base, when you can just do a sneak attack and be done with the job."
Gremory-san has a blush on her face, embarrassed because I pointed out the major flaw of her dynamic entrance "It's cool." She defended herself lamely while crossing her arms underneath her breasts.
"But not useful in real life." I countered back before bringing my attention to Trump the Devil.
"S-S-So the lit-little sister of Er-Erica has com-come to my humble b-base... I w-wonder what have I-I done to obt-obtain the honour of being graced in yo-your presence?" Bob greeted Gremory and her crew with a mocking stutter, doing a curtesy bow to mock her even further but he said a different name and that caught my attention... So Sirzech Lucifer is a female here like Kiba? That's unexpected since he's supposed to be a male version of Gremory with vastly great strength and far better control over the [Power of Destruction] in canon.
"...To think that you would call our Maō by her name so casually... Such arrogance!" Gregory said with a strained smile on her face, a thin sheet of crimson demonic energy covering her body that pretty much represents her anger towards Bob "For such disrespect towards her as our Maō and my sister, I will personally end your exi-"
Having enough of Gremory's monologue, I jumped at Bob with a boost [Mana Burst] to get some momentum for my next strike. my next strike. I attacked, and it connected with his head before I unleashed [Mana Burst] without any care this time to make sure that I would blast his head off... It actually went even further then I intended for it to happen as his head blew up like a balloon, with some of his blood landing to my face...
Disgusting. I can't understand how sadists enjoy the feeling of their enemies blood on their clothes or body when it feels unpleasant, especially since it someone else's blood. When I landed back on the ground, I quickly wiped away the blood off my face with a slight annoyed expression.
Looking at the Vespoids, who were just flying around like lost lambs without their Shepard, before holding my arms towards them and then fired the strongest blast of [Mana Burst] that I can do from wasting all of my remaining MP. Thankful, it was enough to kill them all.
"There..." I panted out, looking at the wide eyes of the girls. I simply walked towards "Hunt done... I'll be going home now."
"Wait!" Gremory called out to me, but I didn't stop and just continue on walking on "We can help-"
"I don't need your help since I'm not poison or anything close to it... I'm just tried right now." I replied without stopping to look back at them. I don't want to deal with them right now and I wanted some rest... Looks like I have to cancel my grinding today, what a let down.

I read my stats with a blank expression on my face while pretenting to look at the sky, giving the image of a guy completely bored out of his mind... Which isn't far from the truth. Today is another day of school and other day of having to deal with same, boring bullshit. All Raynare and I do in the ORC is stay there until 9:00 in the evening since the heiress has to watch us, where we just have tea or do our homework.
I'm seriously wondering why I'm continuing this pointless charade since it doesn't benefit me in the slightest, especially now that both the ORC and the Student Council are well aware that I'm not some ordinary human... I had to waste my time playing the role of 'prisoner' (unless I decide to just join 1 of them groups), when I can have more time to grind and level up. It's a good thing that the [ID CREATE] has a ghoul dungeon now since the zombies aren't enough to help me level up anymore.
Well, I just hope that this weeks rolls are good enough to make things a little bit better for me.
"You seem bored." Raynare asked from my right, looking at me with a curious expression on her face "What wrong?"
"Just bored of going to school... It was boring enough that the lessons waste my time when I can do something more productive, but now I have to play along with the Devils so that they wouldn't bug me so much." I replied with a half lid eyes, but not the seductive kind "I don't want them to suddenly break in my house in order to 'inspect' the place to make sure that I'm not making experiments of humans or being a threat to them."
"...Aren't you being a bit too paranoid?"
"...Why am I not surprised that you didn't understood the point of my words." I replied before letting out a sign, now wondering why I'm letting the Fallen Angel stay in my house... Especially that there's a possible of her attacking me when her memories return. Not that I have a problem of killing her, since I can easily do that before she can do anything. She'll probably make a vow of vengeance against me for defeating her... I'm probably not too far off if that happens-
"HAWAA!" I heard a voice scream behind me, breaking me out of my thoughts, before it was followed by something hitting the ground. When I turned towards the source, I was greeted by the sight of a blonde-haired Nun laying on the ground...
Arms spread out while on the ground? Check. Somehow tripped with nothing that caused the girl to trip? Check. And most of all, pure white panties visible for the whole world? Double check. Looks like Asia Argento has entered the scene.
"Asia!" Another voice cried, bringing my attention towards the source to see... Xuanzang Sanzang in a nun outfit? This seems interesting and promising.
"[Obverse]." I said very quietly to myself so that Raynare wouldn't heard me.
Character Name: Isane Hyōdō
Alignment: Asia Argento
LvL: 24
Profession: Exiled Nun
Title: Hakuryūkō (shared with Albion) and The Vanishing Dragon (shared with Albion)
Fame: None
HP: 300/300 Regen: 5 per hour
MP: 100/100 Regen: 1.5 per minute
...This is unexpected, I never would have thought that Issei "Breast Addict" Hyōdō is a female in this AU world, especially someone with large assets that the Nun outfit certain highlights (I'm not sure if those are supposed references to Gremory and Argento respectively). First is Kiba (which is understandable since he did turned to a girl once upon time and he is kinda gay), then I found out last week that Sirzechs Lucifer is a woman here as well (the supposed Gender Flipped version of Rias in canon) and now Hyōdō.
But I wouldn't be surprised if Vali or Gasper are girls as well if I meet up with them eventually, considering that this AU of [High School DxD] has the Gender Flip cliché from the [Type-Moon] after the reveal of 3 males from canon are girls here.
Hyōdō before moving toward the fallen girl with a worried expression on her face "Are you okay?" She asked before holding out towards her friend.
"I-I'm fine, Isane..." Argento said, her voice laced with slight embarrassment before she took the hand that Hyōdō was holding to her "But what did I tripped just now?"
"That's what I want to find out myself." Hyōdō replied with a slight amused smile on her face as she pulled up his friend "But condisering who you are, I'll probably have a hard time to find the answer."
All that she got from the blonde was an pout.
"Nuns?" Raynare asked, staring at Argento and Hyōdō with a tone of curiosity in her voice.
"What do you think they are, pirates?" I asked sarcastically before shaking my head and then began walking towards the Nuns. This probably my chance to start a professional relationship with the [Hakuryūkō], who will be a very powerful ally if she trained herself properly. I can't say that I'll be be her trainer, but she's eventually have to become stronger because enemies will be drawn towards in the same pace as allies do "Hello, are you girls lost or something?"
"No we're fine, we're heading to the Church in Kuoh." Argento said, before her smile turned a bit embarrassed "We're transferred from Vatican to Church in Kuoh town, but I suddenly fell. Hehehe."
"...I'm not going to ask how did you tripped from nothing, but can you girls answer a question of my mine before you ladies go?" I asked them politely, getting a nod from the duo "Do you know that the Church here had been taken over by Fallen Angels?"
