DXD : Shinji kouki

"In a way yes, in others no. " Said Rias as she got back to the topic.

"You see Shinji, we devils are known for our way to make contracts with humans, through these contracts we obtain most of our wealth and strength. "

"And how do you make these contracts?" Asked the teenager.

"With this. " Rias extended her hand as she grabbed one paper that appeared from thin air, that same paper had words written on it with a seal in the middle.

"This is a Summoning Circle. Through this humans are capable of summoning us to fulfill their wishes, also the more contracts you successfully complete, the more powerful you'll become and the closer you'll be to become a High-Class devil.

"

"Let me show you an example. " Said Rias while looking at him.

"As I told you before, I can't repay the favor you did, so let me show you my gratitude by accomplishing your wish. So tell me, what is it that you desire? If it's in my grasp, I will fulfill it.

"

'Wha-really!?' Shinji was taken back by this. Anything that he desired!? 'Okay now, if she's a devil, and I can ask for anything, what do I want? Something….

something. .

. think of something….

. ! That's right!'

"Well, I've been trying to get a driving license but. .

. you know.

. .

I'm seventeen and all that…" He simply said, if she can grant anything, then this must be easy. He really wanted a driving license for quite a while, too many racing games went to his head.

"Eh? Ye-yeah, no problem. " Said Rias, taken back as she looked disappointed at him.

"I thought you would ask for something more complex to be honest. "

"Yeah, I thought you would say tha-wait, what!?" The teenager was surprised by this. That's easy? Giving a driving license to an under age is that easy!? The hell is 'complex' for her then!?

"Yes, this is quite easy, I might need to call my father and pull a few strings here and there, but I will accomplish your wish, Shinji. " The red haired girl assured him.

"Although I expect of you to at least make one successful contract, you'll have your license after it as a token for a job well done. "

"Cool!" The teenager exclaimed. "So when do I begin with these contracts?"

"Right now if you so desire. " As the red haired girl said these words, two red circles appeared next to Shinji.

Two big piles of paper came out from them.

"What's this?" He asked while pointing to the mountains of paper next to him, piled up almost matching his height.

"Why, you see. We devils make contracts with humans, yes.

But we also need to deliver them these Summoning papers for them to use. As you got so excited just now I thought 'why not let him deliver them to our potential clients'?" Said Rias as a smile decorated her face, the black hair teen started to know what she meant when said smile showed up.

"Ahahaha, yes-no. " Shinji said while scratching the back of his head.

"While I would like to help you with this one Gremory-san, I need to go to work you see, I'm running kinda late as it is. "

"Oh but don't worry about that Shinji, you can use the bicycle we have in our club. " Said the girl while pointing to the window, outside laying a bicycle under a porch.

"Yeah, well. My job is on the outskirts of the city, it will take some time and I don't know if I'll finish in time for me to be punctual at my work.

" Shinji responded fast, trying to free himself from this predicament.

"Then you better start now, Shinji-kun. " Said Rias as she closed her eyes while smiling at the teenager, the latter just staring at her.

.

.

There was a short silence between them.

"There's no getting through you, is it?" Shinji asked.

"Sadly for you, no. " Responded Rias while smiling.

And just like that, his peaceful day got much worse.

"Crap, crap, crap, crap…!" To say Shinji was going fast is little, he was cycling like in a race. "Damn it! If that girl wasn't so talkative I would be on time!"

He had a hard time delivering the Summoning Circles to people, first he was doing it while standing on a plaza nearby, then when half an hour passed and no one picked even one single flier he gave up and started to throw them to the mailbox in each house to the way to Hirotaku's dojo. In the last house he almost rolled over a girl, and said girl started to apologize to him time and time again even though he said it was okay.

He managed to hand her a flier which she gladly accepted.

"Ahh! Screw it! We're taking the shortcut!" He screamed as he jumped, avoiding obstacles and going down like on a downhill race.

Having passed the highway separating the center of Kuoh from the residence area in the outskirts of the city was Hagiwara's dojo, the old man was currently cleaning the front of said dojo.

"Ah, Shinji-kun. Looks like you took your time today.

" Said Hirotaku as he watched the teenager approach while walking next to the bike.

"Yeah, sorry Hagiwara-san, I got caught up on a favor a friend asked. " He said while scratching his head.

'If he fires me, you'll pay for it, Gremory. ' He thought while a tick mark appeared on his head.

"Don't worry about it Shinj, we all have days we arrive late to one place or another, besides, you only came 5 minutes late. " Said the master of martial arts to reassure the kid.

While the teenager passed by Hirotaku to leave the bicycle and start with his job, a flier from the bag he was carrying fell. The old man caught this and kneeled to pick it up, his eyes narrowing while looking at it.

"Uhh, Hagiwara-san, is there a problem?" Asked Shinji as he turned around to see Hirotaku with a pensive expression while watching a piece of paper.
