A Mob In High School DxD

Thank you for pointing out the issues with the website. We've fixed most of them and made the ads much less intrusive.

We apologize again for the earlier experience and appreciate your patience!

"No, getting involved was more like an accident, and we ignored Magari-sama's warning, so we're partly at fault too, but I gratefully accept your words."

Honestly, as a regular person, having important people (beautiful women at that with big Boba) bow to me was more nerve-wracking than anything. When I thought that, they both said "Thank you" and raised their heads.

"However, we can't simply express our gratitude and leave it at that. Not only were you seriously injured, but if the Earth Spider had continued its rampage, there's no telling how much damage it would have caused. Even though we planned to send elite forces, it wasn't a weak enough opponent to guarantee victory..."

"That's right. For us in Kanto, having a human clean up our mess really hurts our reputation. Apart from Princess Yasaka's reward, we need to offer compensation too, or we'll lose face."

So basically, I was getting rewards from both the Kanto and Kansai youkai organizations for defeating the Earth Spider? Holy crap!

"I should ask, when I mention compensation, do you have anything specific in mind? If not, we'll decide for you."

Compensation... that came out of nowhere...

"I don't have anything particular in mind... What about you, Kuroka?"

"Nothing really comes to mind nya~"

When we answered like that, Magari dropped a bombshell: "Well, this is from Kanto, but would you two be interested in training under me?"

"Wh-what are you saying Snake-obasan!?"

Ignoring Kuroka's shock, Magari continued.

"I know from the black cat here that you're just a regular human. I'd have to use teleportation magic to bring you over when time permits, but... what do you say? Of course, I'd train that brat too."

This was an incredible opportunity! I couldn't measure Magari's true strength, but she was probably close to the original Sun Wukong from the series, one of the strongest senjutsu users. No reason to hesitate.

"I'd be honored to accept."

"I see. What about you kitty?"

Magari turned to Kuroka.

"...Fine nya. I don't like getting beaten up by that Tsuchigumo thing and leaving it at that, nya."

"Then it's settled."

Kuroka agreed too. Next, Yasaka started talking.

"Now, for Kyoto's compensation..."

Yasaka paused there and narrowed her eyes slightly... Crap, those were the same kind of eyes Kuroka got when she was planning mischief. While I was thinking that, she pulled Kunou close and said, "Would you like to become my daughter's husband?"

"What!?"

"Nya!?"

"Princess!?"

"Mother!?"

"Oh my~"

Wait, wait, wait! Kunou looked about eight or nine years old. This was definitely illegal! A five or six year age gap is normal? For kids, that age difference is bigger than Mount Fuji!

"Mother!? What are you saying!?"

Kunou confronted her mother about the sudden engagement talk, but Yasaka was completely unfazed.

"Weren't you the one who said you wanted to meet the human who defeated the Tsuchigumo because you were curious? If Magari-dono is going to train him, he'll get even stronger. This is what they call 'buying early.' For now we'll just arrange an engagement, and if there are no problems in the future, we can make it official."

"I... I... Is that how it works? We can get to know each other's gradually?"

"Exactly. As I said, it's just an engagement for now. You don't need to think too hard about it."

"Um... okay..."

They're deciding something huge over there without asking me! No! This has to be one of that big boba.. ahm I mean Yasaka's pranks! I need to end this as a prank!

"P-Princess ? Making fun of your daughter like thi, mmph!"

She used some kind of magic to shut my mouth!

"Come now, Kunou."

Yasaka turned her daughter toward me and gave her a little push on the back.

Kunou tottered over to me, her face red, and said, "I... I am Kunou, and I'm to be engaged to you! I'm still young and may be lacking in many ways, but please take care of me!!"

She bowed deeply, probably to hide her nervousness and embarrassment.

My mouth was working again... but what was I supposed to do here? Tell this sweet kid "No thanks to that reward, I want your mother" in this atmosphere? What kind of monster would that make me? I looked around desperately for help.

Magari... was looking the other way.

Yasaka... looked like she was having the time of her life.

The tengu attendant... was giving me a look that said 'Don't you dare embarrass our precious little angel, got it?'

Kuroka... was staring at me with half-lidded eyes, did she look a little annoyed, or was that my imagination?

No good, there wasn't a single person who looked like they'd help me out of this situation! While I was thinking that, Kunou, who'd been bowing this whole time, looked up at me with tears in her eyes and said, "Am... am I not good enough?"

"N-no, you're fine! Nice to meet you, Kunou."

Before I knew it, I'd answered in a strained voice, FBI it wasn't me, I am the victim here.

Kunou's face lit up with the brightest smile and she said, "Nice to meet you too!" I don't know... I'd managed to protect her smile, and Yasaka did say it was just an engagement, but I felt like I'd made some huge mistake.

How the hell did this happen?

Later, we had Kunou step out so we could talk things over properly. According to Yasaka, "I wouldn't leave the compensation unclear after pulling such a fraudulent stunt."

...Honestly, I just wanted to get this over with at this point.

"Here is your reward."

Yasaka handed me a bamboo tube.

"What's this?"

"That is a tube fox container. Do you know about tube foxes?"

"Something like... low-level spirit familiars used by onmyoji(yin-and-yang master) and such, I think."

"Yes, that's about right. But this tube fox is somewhat special. Normal tube foxes don't exceed the low-level spirit category, but this one's power grows in response to the strength of its master's life force. Even with your current level, it should be considerably stronger than normal familiars."

Oh! That sounded pretty useful. But I had a concern.

"Um, I thought tube foxes multiply like crazy. What about food and stuff?"

Right! If my knowledge was correct, tube foxes were supposed to multiply endlessly until they eventually ate their master out of house and home.

"No need to worry. I said it was special, didn't I? There's only one inside, but it can split into up to 75 copies. As for food, it's omnivorous, it can eat the master's ki, energy, regular food, whatever."

Omnivorous... well, I guess that was convenient.

"Thank you very much."

If it could eat my ki, it wouldn't strain my wallet... I was already getting milked dry by Kuroka, so I couldn't handle any more expenses.

"Now then, if it's alright, could you leave one copy here? We could stay in contact if anything happens."

There was no reason to refuse, so I opened the bamboo tube right there.

A fox about the size of my palm appeared... just like a tube fox, it didn't seem to have arms or legs.

"Um, for a name... I'll go with the obvious choice, Izuna! Alright, Izuna, split off one copy and follow Yasaka-sama's orders"

It made a "kyo!" sound, split itself, and landed on Yasaka's palm.

"Well, that settles things. Now we should send you back to your hotel."

When Yasaka said that, panic suddenly hit me.

"Oh crap! School! What about school?! I've been missing since partway through the trip!"

This could've turned into a police matter!

"No need to worry. I've already taken care of it, I planted the suggestion that you 'happened to meet an acquaintance in Kyoto and stayed at their house.' Just go back normally."

Wow... suggestion magic was incredible. She was saying some pretty outrageous stuff, but in the original series they convinced Issei's parents that 'sleeping naked together cuddling is normal culture,' so compared to that, this was nothing.

Yasaka and the others teleported us back near the hotel, and Kuroka and I returned together.

Kuroka had seemed annoyed until the end, but after Yasaka whispered something in her ear before we left, she seemed to cheer up. Luckily, everyone from school was still eating breakfast, so nobody saw us together.

I went back to the room to wait, and the three perverts returned... completely beat up.

"Hey guys... I'll ask just to be sure, but what happened to you?"

"Heh! These are wounds of HONOR!"

I hope that's really what they are, Matsuda.

"We merely sought to reach the women's bath Avalon!"

If you'd actually made it to the women's bath Avalon, wouldn't your glasses have fogged up, Motohama?

"Yes, and afterward we dreamed of the girls' room paradise, but alas, we never reached it. But! We have NO regrets!!"

Maybe no regrets, but you should reflect on your actions, Issei.

Later, the girls tearfully asked me, "How could you, the only one who can control those three perverts, go stay at some friend's house?!" I couldn't understand their logic.

After leaving the hotel, we did some shopping at souvenir stores, where all the guys bought wooden swords (I hadn't planned to, but when I saw one labeled 'Lake Toya,' I bought it on impulse).

After that, we boarded the bullet train home, ending my first school trip.
