The Player is a Part-Timer

Chapter 17: Dark Storm Brewing (part 2)

[Well, I am quite old, in human terms. Also, I've had many wielders before you. I have seen my fair share of things. Dark things, funny things, and twisted things.]

"Things like what?" Damn! Now he was curious! Just what twisted things did this ancient dragon experience and see under the aeons?

[Things I don't really want to remember. You know, one may think people are holding back their fetish when they know someone inside is watching them. But no! They just do it more frequently. Truly a perverted and horny band...]

"Really?"

[Really. So, don't hold yourself back. I have seen weirder shit than a teen masturbating or having fun with their friends. I got used to it. Just warn me before you do it, so I can turn away.]

"Well, that's reassuring, I guess." Still feels weird, though.

"Umm... Issei-kun." Peeking inside the door, Asia's blond nob appeared, watching the boy blushing.

"Ca-Can I come in?"

"Eh? I mean, sure. What's the problem? Can't sleep?"

"..." The girl meekly nodded, looking around before closing the door and snuggling near the boy. There are three people in his bed currently, so he feels like a piece of meat between two pieces of top-quality sandwich bread.

At this rate, he'll need a bigger bed!

"She must be worried about what happened recently." Honestly, he didn't blame Asia. Ever since she arrived, and even before arriving, she suffered trauma after trauma.

First, she was excommunicated from the church because she healed a devil, and then evil people used her for their vile goals. And afterwards, she was even treated harshly by those exorcist girls.

He really pitied her. Fortunately, she was in their care now. In a place where people took care of her, and provided her comfort.

"Issei-kun?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you think Kiba-kun will be alright?"

"Well..." She was a too faint-hearted girl, caring too much about everyone. But really? For prince charming?

"I must admit, Kiba has been down lately; he even left for a short time but then returned to us." He wouldn't say the guy was perfectly fine, but he was better than when they first met the church duo. What's the worry? Seemingly having that day out with Gillian helped him recover somewhat.

"Wonder what they did before those two attacked them." Honestly, he had no idea what that two weirdos did, and it just made him more curious.

"Mmm..." Asia snuggled closer, not expecting any straight answer.

"Dammit! Why is it so hard?"

"I hope he will be fine." She muttered only this much before drifting into sleep.

"Damn prince charming, making Asia-chan sad." He muttered barely audible, still angry.

As he thinks about it, Kiba and Gillian are kind of close. For Asia's sake, maybe he should ask her what's the matter between the two, and how Kiba feels for real.

"Well, she helped us with the rating game." Alas, he enjoyed it when that arrogant birdbrain got manhandled by her, he still felt it was a little bit too much. Not to speak, remembering how she spoke with buchou and handled Koneko-chan under their spar still infuriated the boy.

"I mean, she is usually nice — a little bit greedy though. But also cruel, I can't place her. And why do I have this... instinctive feeling whenever I'm near her and her brother? It's almost like some inner wariness."
