Darkest Before Dawn - 65
Chapter 65“I’ve missed you so much!” Uwabami exclaimed, pulling the first girl to reach her up in her arms and hugging her, rubbing her cheek against the child’s. “Did you miss me?” she asked then, pulling the girl away so that she could look at her.“Lots!” was the answer their mentor got.“And I missed you lots too,” Uwabami repeated, pulling the child into a hug once more. A moment later though, she moved back to stand with Kendo and Kazuki himself. That was something that made him feel terribly awkward, especially when he ...

It was quite the surprise when you agreed.”“I don’t know why you’d be,” he replied, bringing his own glass to his lips. He wasn’t drinking wine though. He’d never liked it...

Plants of all kinds lived together, growing in a harmonious picture that he never would get enough of. There was something just so beautiful about it all, with all its different shapes and colors, even movements in some cases. Plants everywhere, all of them alive and thriving, had been orga...

Chapter 64“As I told you before, you were great,” Uwabami said, beaming proudly at him. It was… quite uncomfortable to be on the receiving end of such a look. Thus, Kazuki focused his eyes on the TV. They’d just watched a recording of his interview with the Kizuki woman and it was… It was…“Doesn’t look like that,” he mumbled, deflating on his seat. Sure, nothing had been altered. Nothing was cut off to change his meaning or anything. However, the people that commented on what he said had proceeded to try their best to find way...

He often found himself comfortable in big crowds, actually, because they were basically like being alone. Nobody paid attention to anyone in the crowd. Everyone was just part of the mass, nobody was anyone particular. Who’d be looking ...

Disclaimer:I don’t own Highschool DxD.All I Dream Of Is Waking to You“Sometimes I get the impression that I spoil you,” Joshua commented idly.“It’s just you, dad,” Kunou commented, happily skipping beside him and humming while taking licks off of her ice cream cone. “I don’t know what you are talking about.”“Sure you don’t,” he commented dryly as they kept walking. There were some looks thrown their way, but nobody was paying too much attention. Joshua guessed that it’d be a lot worse if they could see her ears and tai...

Chapter 63“First of all,” he said, before the woman could actually go for the first question. Because he kind of needed to set the field for the upcoming interview, in a way. Otherwise, things would very easily get out of control. “Anything regarding the Black Rampage won’t be answered right now,” he explained, and, to her credit, the woman didn’t seem annoyed, or frustrated, or… anything bad, really. Hell, she looked amused.“That’s not unexpected,” she commented idly. “You havebeen avoiding the press rather stubbornly,”...

The Satan had been so excited that they’d had to reshoot the same scene like fiv...

Chapter 62The difference between their experience at USJ and the Nomu – or whatever those three were called – being in the presence of actual heroes was… noticeable. They had gotten their ass kicked by a single one, even if it had been accompanied by other people, such as the guy with the hands and a small army of shit tier villains. Ultimately, Nomu had kicked Aizawa’s and Kazuki’s asses, among others. They had required All Might to save them from that single villain or creature or whatever.Endeavor and the other heroes of Hosu, howe...

Disclaimer:I don’t own Highschool DxD.Be Together Under the LightsAll in all, Joshua was feeling pretty proud of himself.“I guess even these parties can be good,” he commented, sitting at a table with a drink in his hand. Non-alcoholic, unfortunately, since he’d go back home and likely have to play cards with Kunou until she decided – or he was forced to decide – it was a good enough time to go to sleep. Besides, he didn’t like wine and he had a feeling that someone would stab him if he asked for beer.“I don’t think you can co...

Chapter 61As they walked towards the outside, Kazuki was very grateful for Uwabami’s costume session from before. For one, she basically was almost always in uniform, since she could go everywhere while “in costume” and not look weird. After all, her costume was a dress and some accessories. Not only that, but since he was considering changing his own costume, he’d taken to doing much as she did and wearing his costume all the time. Formal wear wasn’t quite his thing, but he’d done it mostly so that he could get a feel of it and dec...

Chapter 60“Well, I half expected at least one of you to not do so well in the morning,” Maeda commented, looking somewhat amused as she glanced between Kazuki and Kendo, who were sharing the table with her for breakfast. Speaking of the meal, it was, just like their meals from the previous day, already part of a diet. It seemed the two of them would follow one for every day on their internship. Furthermore, Uwabami had told them that they could get the details of the diet once they had to leave, if they were interested. Kazuki already had h...

You really did,” he added, rubbing his hand on the shiny gyarados’ side.Normally, he wasn’...

Disclaimer:I don’t own Highschool DxD.So Fly on Your Own“So, what do we do now?” he asked, moving to sit at the island of his kitchen opposite from Serafall. They’d gotten up a little late so Jeanne and Asia weren’t around. Which suited them just fine, since it allowed them the chance to have some more time alone to themselves. “I imagine this will be troublesome… again.”“Gee, it’s almost like you did something that was previously thought impossible… again,” she told him, both amused and unimpressed. “Who could have pr...

Chapter 59[Toru Hagakure]She laid on her bed, alone in the room provided for her in her internship and looking up at the ceiling.Toru found herself… sad, sort of. Homesick, she supposed. It wasn’t the first time she was away from home, of course, but it was the first time she was so while alone. There was no family around and no friends. She kind of missed both, she supposed. She didn’t know anyone there and everything was more business than anything else, even if nobody was mean or cold.It was just the underlying feeling, she guessed.Reg...

Kunou, for her part, continued obliviously humming and giggling occasionally. The girl seemed deliriously happy, but he wasn’t too concerned. Especially because Yasaka didn’t seem to be either, and she probably knew better than he did.“She certainly is,” his youkai partner replied with a grin of her own, her eyes also locked on the young girl that was having ...

Chapter 58“Do you look perfect or do you look perfect?” the woman that had been working on his hair for what felt like at leasta solid hour asked him.Uwabami had started the day offering them help getting a new image, if they so wanted. From makeup to hair and anything in between. Kazuki had been pretty nervous about accepting, mainly because a haircut wasn’t something that he could just clean off or change whenever he wanted, but this was Uwabami. If he could trust her to help him deal with his shit reputation, then he could trust her wi...

Why are you glaring at me?” he grumbled, turning away from Ravel’s pout and glare combo.It was very effective, as it turned out.“Exactly. I’m supposed to help you with this kind of thing, sir,” she said, trying to sound professional, despite the exceed...

Chapter 57Looking at her, Kazuki didn’t have too much trouble believing that Uwabami was more model than hero. She certainly looked the part, at the very least, and that was her hero costume. Even like that, she looked like she had come straight out of a TV show or a magazine. It was a little…Intimidating, he supposed, although he didn’t really know why. In a way, he guessed it was because she was his opposite. Everyone loved her. At most, people could be angry that she didn’t dedicate more time to heroics, but that was a flimsy critici...

Or blow me up with magic, whatever you might prefer.”“Someone’s in a dramatic mood,” he commented, giving the Director a flat look.“You realize that the service you are offering me would, by itself, at leastdouble what I owe you, right?” she asked, just as dryly. “No ...

Chapter 56Kazuki sat at the train, leaning forward and resting his elbows on his knees. The vehicle moved smoothly, but there was the ever so slight feeling traveling through it. He could pick up on it mostly because he was looking for it, keeping his eyes closed. His breathing was even, slow and deep and one of his hands gripped at the handle of the suitcase with his hero costume.The earbuds played new rock songs he was still going through, recommendations from Jiro. He had those for days, after all, and he was unlikely to run out, considering...
