Kuoh Town, a pretty place compared to my last town. It was a short train ride here from home so it won't be too far away in case I want to go back.
On my right Tsurara looks around excitedly as though we were in a whole new country.
I could tell her to stop, but it doesn't matter that much. Walking around town there were a lot of interesting looking buildings that almost didn't fit together.
"So the arcade is right next to…a love hotel? You really can't make this shit up." I say as we continue walking through the street.
Tsurara looks at me and yells with a red face "You weren't trying to stay there were you?!"
"Of course not, I wouldn't live in a place like that." She lets out a small sigh after my words, but looks slightly disappointed or some similar emotion.
"Then where are we gonna stay? You do have a plan right young master?" Hearing her words I prepare myself gearing up to share the best idea ever.
"Of course I did. We can find an abandoned warehouse!" Despite my excitement she looks at me with a cold expression.
"I'm going home.." Tsurara turns around genuinely beginning to walk back towards the station.
"Wait wait wait, watch this. I'll get a house for us right now!" She looks back at me questioningly.
Please please please, give me a house!
Lottery roll my equipment ticket I got from my Kuoh Academy transfer!
New ticket type obtained. Unlocking the armory.
Multiple images flashed by on the menu while I tried to convince Tsurara to stop trying to leave.
Congratulations user you got a Grimoire (Black Clover)!
I'm so cooked. Of course I could make her stay, but that's not as fun. Grabbing her hand I make a dash to the nearest normal hotel.
"Young master why does it matter if we don't have any money? Unless you plan to live in other peoples homes like your grandfather!"
"Wait wait wait. I have a plan I'm gonna just get a part time job okay? Trust me it's gonna work out I know what I'm doing." I proclaim certainly like I already completed it.
And I technically have already done it just not in this life.
She lets out a cool breath and smiles saying "Of course you do. You already know I'm not going anywhere you aren't Young Master."
"Just please don't let us live in a cardboard box." She walks with me into the hotel covered in my displacement fear.
"Of course I won't. Just trust me I got this." Swiping the keycard for the highest room we go up to the highest level.
Putting out stuff into the relatively small apartment I hand her the keycard.
"In two days I'll have to go to school, but until then I'm gonna go put my plan in motion. Let me know if you want to do something later." After saying this she waves goodbye and I leave the hotel.
Time to get this started then. Gonna look around this place for real now.
I started jumping around under displacement, and attempt to see every interesting place. This time not by looks, but by the aura coming off from them.
Since senjutsu is based on lifeforce I can kind of tell people of different life forces. Case and point there are a few beings here that feel similar to me and Tsurara.
Staring at this white haired girl from on top of a house her energy is almost exactly like mine. Except I can tell it's not human she is mixed with.
There are many many more people of that other life signature here in this town. Not as many as there are human, but still more than anything else I feel.
The girl seems a little familiar, and either way making friends with another Youkai could be nice.
Don't know if she likes Youkai though. Could be a crazy backstory- Shit!
I duck behind the chimney on top of the roof as she turns and glares in my direction. How in the hell did she even know I was here?
Oh wait..Youkai. Maybe she had met my clan before and trained to see displacement users? There's no way her senses are just that strong to notice me.
Maybe I've been too sloppy ever since getting powers. It's so much easier to walk around like this compared to my last life.
Finally as she looked away I got down and began using my prior skills to watch her alongside displacement.
What is she passing out? Flyers for something I'm guessing, but it's too far for me to read it.
Wait a minute, there are more people doing this? There's like two people on each street, and it's honestly easy to tell which are main characters.
The other people passing them out all have long black hair, but other than that nothing of note.
Looking around at the life energy I was suddenly drawn to a dense red energy so compacted I could feel the pressure from over here.
What the hell is wrong with that brown haired…guy…I'm in Highschool DxD aren't I? That's exactly where I knew her from!
She's the cat girl from all the art. I never got past the first chapter per say, but I still remember for a fact that's Issei. Meaning this dense energy is probably why he's the main character.
Unbeknownst to me a crazed smile grew on my face as I looked at the chaotic energy inside of Issei.
"I wonder how strong he is."

-10 minutes later-
Now that I know where I am the whole devils thing makes sense. Even better though is that it makes my plan much much easier.
-3rd pov-
In Kuoh academy everyone was out for the weekend, but even still a small white haired teen walked through the gates and over to a small shed like building on the campus.
She opened the door to the noise or running water, and two undeniably beautiful people staring back at her.
"Is the president taking another shower?" This question only got a laugh and sigh as their response.
Koneko owed so much to Rias for everything she has ever done, and yet still could not help but question how often she showers in the very same room.
Suddenly the water shut off and the lights began flickering before leaving everyone in complete darkness.
Shadows could be seen passing by the windows, and suddenly they felt like they weren't alone anymore.
The lights come back on and a man with short silver hair and a blue Oni mask appears in the middle of the room.
Immediately he is surrounded by Kiba and Koneko while Akeno prepares her magic in the back.
"Who are you?" Said Rias as her voice passed the curtain of the shower.
"Simple. I am someone looking for new promising clients. Or more importantly an informant." He stands there nonchalantly talking directly to Rias.
Walking out fully clothed somehow Rias slowly began speaking to the person.
"And why does this matter to students like us?"
This caused the man to shake his head and say confidently "Ms. Gremory, you don't need to try for that I already am aware."
A newfound tension grew in the room and Rias became much more serious.
"What kind of information are you offering..?" She questioned before gesturing for her crew to stand down.
The man walked over to the chairs sitting down and continuing "I simply saw a person of interest that you would like on your side."
"And who is tha-" Right before Akeno could finish her question the man cut in.
"Do you have any water?" Followed by silence causing Kiba to sigh and go get a glass at his president's approval.
"And if I answered the question I wouldn't have any information no? A fee is required first." Sitting in the quiet room until Kiba returned the man suddenly stood up.
"Thank you for the hospitality. If you don't like the deal then I understand, but I'll be off to tell this to the other devil's. After all it is a very useful skill that person possesses." Very obviously rushing for a decision he begins downing his water.
"Alright then, what do you want?" She responded with an amused look.
"Two things. I can give you this info for a 50% discount and in return you will recommend my services to others alongside coming to me for any future information you need." He quickly pulls out a piece of paper and a blue pen.
"Is everything you do in blue?" They both laugh a bit and quickly his voice snaps into a much deeper tone and says
"Yes."
After a minute of awkward silence Rias takes the paper looking it over and eventually signs it.
"Alright great. So I'll give you everything I know right now. There's a human going to your school named Issei Hyoudou and he has a sacred gear in his arm with incredible potential."
Seemingly exhausted from the mouthfull he lays back down on the couch.
Rias nods and prepares 300 dollars in yen as said in the contract.
"You know for the information you're providing this isn't much even with 50% off. Not to mention what was your plan if I didn't pay?" She said slightly confused by his plan.
"Fair fair, but I gotta build up trust somehow. Besides once you made the contract you didn't have a choice…you're a devil I'm sure you get what I mean." Her eyes go wide before a slight laugh leaves her mouth.
"A pleasure doing business with you." The lights flickered once more before shutting off, and he was gone leaving five business cards on the table in his place.
