[ISSEI POV]
It was late at night, and I was pedaling my bicycle down the deserted street; my destination was a house at an unusual location.
This was my first ti visiting this client; if I can sohow form a contract, then I will be close to his ultimate goal, Harem King.
But for so reason, when I tries to peek at girls while they are changing, I suddenly rembers the nightmare, which almost cost my innocent.
Must be the punishnt Arthur said, I thought to myself. Its not fair; since he is handso, he won't understand the pain of being single. Just you wait; when I complete my contract, I will have a harem for myself and you will be crying. And today, I will complete my first contract.
Normally, the devil should visit there client through a magic circle because Issei has low magic he couldn't use magic circle to appear in clients house, that also one of the reason why he couldn't complete a crontract till now as most the people will this he is a fraud, like which devil will co in bicycle to fulfill their wishes.
Since the client isn't living alone, won't the client's family see ?
After all, I actually have to visit the house to make a contract. I was told before that ordinary human can't detect , but does it apply to this situation as well?
I'm worried but I realise it when I'm about to push the bell.
The entrance door is open.
...Seriously, leaving the door open in the middle of the night.
HEARTBEAT
I suddenly felt uneasy. What is this? I have a really bad feeling.
But I'm already walking into house.
I look inside from the entrance.
There are no lights in the hallway. There is a staircase that led to the second floor, but there are no lights on.
There is only one room at the end of the first floor with so lights on, and it's a faint light.
Yeah, there's sothing definitely wrong. I feel no presence of any human.
Are they sleeping? Impossible. Then I won't be feeling this uneasiness.
I take my shoes off at the entrance and carried them in my hand.
I walk into the room without making a sound.
I'm a Devil, not a thief. I'm thinking of an excuse like that.
I look into the room from the door that is slightly opened, and the brightness is due to the candles.
"...Hello. I'm a Devil from the Gremory's household... Umm, is the client here?"
I ask quietly, but there is no reply.
It can't be helped, so I enter the room.
It's a living room and there is a television, a sofa, a table, and such. It looks like an ordinary living room-.
Then I stop my breath. My eyes are glued to the wall.
A wall. There is a corpse nailed to the wall. It's upside down.
...A human. It's a male. Is he the person who lives here? But why...?
The corpse has been cut viciously.
Sothing that looks like a giblet is coming out from the wounds...
"Gough."
I vomit out the thing inside my stomach on the spot.
I didn't vomit when I saw that monster, but my body reacted to seeing this corpse.
I can't endure looking at this corpse any more.
The corpse is attached to the wall with screws, making the shape of a cross upside down.
There are big and thick screws screwed into the palm of each hand, into the feet, and at the middle of its torso.
This isn't normal. Not normal at all!
You can't kill a person like this with a normal mind!
There is a puddle of blood on the floor from the drips of blood falling from the corpse.
There is writing on the wall.
"W-What is this...?"
"It's written as "Punishnt for those who did bad deeds!". I just borrowed the sentence from soone important."
Suddenly the voice of a young male cos from behind .
When I turn around, there is a man with white hair. He seems to be a foreigner and he looks like he's still a teenager.
He's dressing up like a priest. He's also a bishounen.
Seeing , the priest makes an evil smile.
"Hmm hmm. Well, well, if it isn't a Devil-kun!"
He seems to be really happy.
Then, the thing that Buchou told cos back to my mind.
—Don't get involved with people from the Church. Especially the Exorcists. They are our biggest enemy. They can easily eliminate us because their powers are supported by the prayer of God.
He's a priest, so he's related to the Church. This is bad.
He even knows that I'm a Devil, so am I in the worst situation there is, again?
"I'm a priest—As a boy priest I cut down devil-like people, and I laugh at them I cut the head of you Devils, and receive my al."
The priest starts to sing.
I-I don't get it. What is wrong with this guy!?
"My na is Freed Zelzan."
