DxD: Shadow Monarch

Chapter-103

—----------------

Her name is Kuroka and according to her story, she was a Nekomata which is a cat-like species of Youkai that specializes in using ki which is another type of power in this world

Youkai… I know about that species since this is one of the many things that Grayfia told me about the world before coming here

Here in this world, are rumoured to be demons or very dangerous species but in reality, they are just troublemakers who just like to play pranks on people

That was also the reason I was not willing to trust her at the beginning after learning that she was Youkai thinking that she might be playing some kind of prank 

But since Tiamat said that she couldn't smell any lie in her words then Kuroko might be telling the truth and that's the reason I am willing to trust her

According to Kuroko's story, she used to have a normal family of 4 people including her and other people were her parents and her little sister 

Everything was normal until the day her parents died and she as well as her little sister were later taken in by an unnamed Devil from the branch family of the House of Naberius, and she was reincarnated as the Devil's Bishop using up two Evil Pieces

I am pretty sure this family is not some important family since Grayfia already told me about all important families in the underworld and Naberius was not one of those families otherwise surely Grayfia would have told me about it beforehand 

After becoming a reincarnated devil, while serving her master, she became extremely talented in Senjutsu and Youjutsu, and her magical power as a Bishop became so great that she surpassed her own master in terms of magical power alone

But later she did something that is considered one of the most horrible crimes in the underworld resulting in making her one of the most wanted criminals in the whole underworld

The crime she committed was to kill her own master, and people assumed that she did this just because she got drunk in her own power 

But that's not the reason for her doing such a thing since according to her, the real reason behind doing such a thing was entirely something else than what people imagined

Because all she wanted was to protect her own little sister who was also the last family she had left 

It seems her master attempted to conduct unethical tests on Kuroka's sister in his research on creating a Super Devil

Kuroka's sister one day almost lost her life because of another one of Kuroka's master's stupid experiments which caused Kuroka to go berserk as a result she killed her master in order to save her sister from her psycho master 

But doing things cost her a very heavy price since Afterwards she became a Stray Devil as well as one of the most wanted SS Rank criminal in the whole underworld 

In the underworld, criminals are ranked according to the crimes they committed as well as their strengths in order to determine how dangerous they are

After getting pursued by more powerful devils, she is barely able to escape the underworld but in the process, she gets heavily injured 

In order to not be discovered by anyone, She transformed into an actual cat using some kind of transformation technique but unfortunately, soon her injuries seemed to have a kind of poison or 'curse' which caused her to become weaker and weaker with each day passing

finding not any solution to remove the poison or curse, she finally gave up and waited to die in one corner which was also the time when I found her and saved her from her dead door

And the reason she called me master is that now she seems to recognise me as her master after I saved her life and she said she wanted to repay this life-saving grace by serving me 

But I know that she is lying from what I know by interacting with her that she is really smart and smart enough to make decisions that are best for herself

the real reason most probably is that she wanted to stay with me in order to hide herself from the underworld since she probably thinks that the safest place for her right now is here

But if that's she told the truth then I have no problem hiding her since I know what it feels like when you need to protect your family

The only condition I put was that she will always be in her cat form because Aria seems to be like the cat very much 

Not to mention because of Kuroka, Aria able to act like a normal kid and I want that to continue

To this condition, Kuroka agreed without Hesitation which is normal considering it's a very small price to pay for her safety

I already contacted Grayfia using one of the shadow soldiers which I left in the underworld just in case of emergency as well as I also used that shadow to communicate with Grayfia

And I already told her about everything to Grayfia and she said would look into this matter as well as search for Kuroka's sister

Since their master died then her sister will be handover to another devil and will serve the new master which honestly makes me feel disgusting because it's like they are treating someone like an object and transferring ownership to another person 

"I got some information about your sister," I said while looking at Kuroka who was in cat form I decided to tell her what Grayfia found during these days

After hearing my words, her whole body shuddered as her ears got straight up while all playfulness was gone in the instant and look at me with wide open eyes like she really wanted to know about the information I got
