"Senpai shall follow me then." Koneko nodded as Ritsuka shook his hand. It felt like he was shaking hands with one of his servants, though it was far easier to shrug it off. "We shall see you later then Rias."

Rias waved the two off as she rubbed the spot between her eyes. Koneko has been a handful as soon as Ritsuka was on the spot.

"Dangerous." Koneko spoke to Rias. Standing straight up and looking her King in the eyes.

"We made a deal with him Koneko. I know you feel uneasy but we need more power on our side." Rias frowned as Koneko slumped slightly. She knew what was at stake for her King.

Koneko was in tune with energy thanks to her prowess in Senjutsu. She never used it further than it needed to be for fear of the consequences behind it. Even then she could sense the flow of mana within the one who called himself Ritsuka Fujimaru. She could smell him to be wrong but she couldn't for the life of her say how.

"He is dangerous." Koneko asserted clenching her tiny fist adamantly.

"Spend time with him and keep an eye on him for now. If you can do that for me Koneko I'm certain that we can make sure that there is no problem at all." Rias pushed back placing her hands on Koneko's shoulders. "If you're on the job I can rest easy. It sounds like he's taking a shower right now. I'm not sure if he's going out but if you could convince him to go jogging with you I'm certain you could find out more about him."

"Yes." Koneko nodded as a small spark in her gaze shined. She was clearly pumped up.

"I hope she'll behave." Rias sighed as she went to get ready for her other member. Kiba had been wondering how someone like Ritsuka seemed so calm even in the position he was in.

Ritsuka kept up his steady breathing while keeping pace with Koneko. She was tougher than she looked not showing an ounce of exhaustion after the first four blocks. She was ruthless in her drive but for the life of him, Ritsuka couldn't figure out why.

It was after the fifth block that they finally managed to make the first stop. There was a small cafe nearby with newspapers on display outside of it. Picking up the first copy he looked for the date. It read 2008.

"Why?" Koneko spoke up.

"Information is power. Learning about where you're at can help you erase ignorance from your life." Ritsuka answered quite easily. He had to pretend to look through the articles though. A lot of it was political followed by talks about celebrities and what they got into.

"I see." Koneko mentioned before turning away. "Come. We continue on for a bit longer."

"Roger." Ritsuka complied returning the newspaper to the stand. No one seemed to notice that he looked through the stack of newspapers.

For another five blocks the pair continued their job finally turning around towards a small park that seemed to be the midpoint between the Academy and Rias' home. Koneko beckoned him to join her as she sat on a nearby bench.

"Rest." Koneko patted the seat near her which he quietly took. The two sat in silence for a bit by watching the people in the park walk by. Most kids were absent that particular day making it a calm place to be. "Speak."

"Anything in particular?" Ritsuka responded letting himself slightly glance at the short girl. She was staring intently, suspicion plastered across her gaze.

"You. Who you are." Koneko ordered. There was no room for questions apparently.

"I'm pretty sure I you were told my name already. I am Ritsuka Fujimaru. I'm just an underwhelming mage. Nothing too special about me in that regard." He answered concisely. Koneko kept her gaze leveled and the suspicion didn't exactly leave

"You smell different. Heavy magic." Koneko sounded like she was making an argument.

"Do I? It might just be my clothes. They are all enchanted to some degree by another mage. I suppose you can call them gifts I was given." Ritsuka pondered. He didn't know why she could smell magic.

"No. Not that. Smells different than those. You smell like others from around the world. Greek, Roman, Chinese, American, Spanish, Russian and many more all tied into you. World traveled?" Koneko continued her questioning.

"Hm… not really. I've just worked amongst others from around the world. I would like to travel someday without having to worry about what jobs they want me to do." Ritsuka answered once more making certain to keep quiet on the more esoteric things he had to accomplish.

He didn't need to mention anything about time travel, fighting monsters, and surviving what could be described as the apocalypse. Koneko didn't relax but her suspicion slowly began to fade. From completely suspicious to merely wary Koneko looked over the playground.

"I protect them. I am keeping watch on you. You smell like an exorcist." Koneko finally placed her cards on the table.

"I have worked with two holy people before. They were nice… though one of them is far too gung ho on saving the world by any means necessary. We've come to blows because of our differences but he sticks around anyways because I'm apparently so likable." Ritsuka rambled on remembering the time that Amakusa tried to use a corrupted grail that housed a copy of Angra Mainyu within it. He had punished him by making him clean his room… eventually it was settled to be done with a toothbrush. Though that was more Jeanne Alter's suggestion. "The other sometimes forgets her common sense."

Koneko stared at Ritsuka unsure whether what he was saying was true. It was troubling that he worked with anyone church related… but since he seemed to be in charge it was probably okay.

"In charge?" Koneko pointed at him.
