DxD: Milking System

Chapter 17: Strange Thing in School

Surprises weren't something rare for Jin for the last few days. He had regained his memories, getting the System, getting acquainted with Supernatural, getting attacked by a madman with a light sword and handgun.

His focus on something Supernatural forced him to forget something. He didn't even notice that something was different for today.

It wasn't related to Supernatural at all, no. He even forgot about the band-aid on his cheek. Jin looked around suspiciously, wondering if this was the doing of something supernatural.

The school was awfully quiet. No shriek of girls, no yelling his name. For some reason, the girls who looked at him, widened their eyes before looking toward their friends, whispering something.

'Strange. Am I cursed by that man? How could those girls look at me strangely? Why did they awfully quiet and not call my name?'

His brother seemed to notice the strange situation as he voiced it.

"Strange Those girls who always shouted Nii-san's name at the top of their lungs are quiet today! What happens?!"

Issei turned toward Jin.

"Don't you think so too, Nii-san?"

"Yeah." Jin answered shortly.

"What actually happened?"

Both brothers walked along the hallway in confusion. This was not what Jin expected on the day of his date with Sona. He was expecting some rumors flying around due to someone from the student council, seeing he would go on a date with one of the three Great Onee-sama from Kuoh Academy.

'I need to ask someone professional about rumors to know about what happened,' thinking so, Jin walked to his classroom in haste.

***

"Are you actually stupid, Jin?"

Such was the first word the bespectacled girl gave to Jin when he asked if she knew what had happened in the school while looking down on Jin, who sat on his seat.

"Huh?"

Jin was confused. He asked seriously because his experience yesterday was affecting his daily life. But, what he got was a girl asking whether he was stupid for asking such a question.

"I mean. Are you seriously asking about what those girls think of you to me, of all people?" The girl asked.

"Of course. Who else?"

Jin looked at the girl, Aika, seriously, causing her lips to curl up into a teasing smile.

"Oho? Does that mean you finally acknowledge my love?"

"I never said that. What I meant is"

Instead of telling Aika what was in his mind, he looked over at a random girl in the class. The girl looked away excitedly when their gazes met and began to scream annoyingly with her friend.

Jin looked back and Aika and said, "See?"

"Ah, that's the reason."

Aika laughed bitterly while having an understanding look.

"Must be so hard to be popular. You only have one female friend, thanks to that."

"True. And that's the reason why I asked my friend, in other words, you, instead of the other girls. They can't even talk to me."

"And so you came to me Well, I know the answer though."

Aika pointed at Jin's cheek, specifically the band-aid on his cheek. Following her gesture, his hand traced his cheek as he exclaimed.

"Oh Is this really the reason?"

"Yeah, sure. You probably don't realize it, but the girls freaked out after seeing it. They made some assumptions about you being kissed or being stabbed with a knife by a stalker or something."

"That's wild." Jin chuckled bitterly. "What am I? Exotic animal?"

"Yes, you are. One of two endangered animals in Kuoh Academy." Aika laughed, "With the Prince of Kuoh being the other one, by the way."

"Truly"

If his standing was that grand, then he would be able to get milk easily to increase his Lifespan. Thinking about it again, he couldn't understand something. Why did he get Lifespan rather easily?

If things went on like this, he would be able to hit his target of 100 years in just two or three months. Considering he would drink milk every day from now on.

That wouldn't be interesting for Lady Luna, who asked him to tell her about his adventure. There must be something else that he had yet to know.

'Something is hidden in a higher level of the System. There must be something that needs a lifespan to use.'

While thinking that, Aika suddenly called out to him.

"Anyway, let's talk about the recent rumor. This is something that manages to take my attention more than your question."

Jin looked up at Aika lazily.

"What is it?"

"It's just something that I heard from a little bird" Aika put her hand over her lips and smirked, "Is it true that you will have a date with Shitori Sona, one of the three Great Onee-sama, after school? Someone accidentally heard your conversation at the entrance."

"Ah, about that? That's true. I beat her in a game, and as a reward, she is willing to go on a date with me. Well, it's just something similar that we did three days ago."

"Understandable." Aika nodded.

At that moment, the bell rang, and the teacher entered the classroom.

"Well, good luck on your date, Jin. Take me out sometimes too."

"Yeah."

***

After school, Jin went to the student council room alone as promised.

If he was asked whether he was nervous, then the answer was yes. To be honest, the date today would change his daily life.

He would find out about the Supernatural world through Sona. She was the only clue that wasn't hostile against him. Not yet, at least.

From the information he analyzed from Freed's babbling mouth yesterday, he was positive that Sona was a Devil. Possibly, all student council members were also Devils, as he had the same feeling he got from Sona.

The smell that Freed talked about must be coming from his clothes, his uniform. Unlike his brother, he always washed his uniform every few days.

However, as yesterday was PE, he didn't wash his uniform from the day before. And two days ago was the time when he met with Sona. They talked for a few minutes, enough to have the said smell stuck on him.

But it was strange, though, as Freed could somehow distinguish the said 'Devil's smell' with the smell of love from Murayama. Maybe Magic things? Anyway, Jin steeled himself on this date. He would do everything to make Sona tell him about Supernatural today, even though it would be dangerous for him.

Well, not so dangerous compared to if he was ignorant about the Supernatural world.

Stopping in front of the student council room, he opened the door without knocking.

Sona was already inside, waiting for him with a smile.

"Welcome, Jin-kun. I have been waiting for you."

"Oh? It's an honor, Kaichou." Jin returned the smile, then he continued. "Now then, shall we have a talk?"
