Everyone in the room sat in 1 of the sofas surrounding the table and sat in pairs, Tōjō with Kiba, Gremory-san with Himejima-san and I'm sitting with Hyōdō. We're all drinking tea and as much as I'm not a tea fan, I have to admit that this tea is very well made.

"As I'm sure you've guessed, 'Yūma Amano' isn't exactly a human. You saw her wings, correct?"

I saw the brunette nodded at the question "That's a Fallen Angel. They are former Angels who served God, but they are beings who have fallen to Hell because they had evil intentions. They are also the enemy of us Devils."

"We, the Devils, have been at war with the Fallen Angels since ancient times. We have been fighting over the possession of the Underworld, which is also known as Hell in the human world. The Underworld is split into two areas, 1 for Devils and the other for Fallen Angels. The Devils form pacts with humans and receive their sacrifices and increase their strength. The Fallen Angels on the other hand control humans to eliminate Devils. At this point the Angels come in to destroy these two races on the Biblical God's orders, which creates the three forces. This has been going on since ancient times."

"Wait what has that got to do with me being killed?" Hyōdō asked confused. I guess that's understandable, since getting killed isn't the most pleasant thing in the world most kills have a reason for them to happen.

"The reason why your life was aimed for by her is because that you were a human who possessed a [Sacred Gear]." Gremory-san answered back, pausing before continuing "That day, you went on a date with her and then went to the park, where you were killed with a Light Spear."

Looking at Hyōdō, I saw an expression that says she's remembering something important.

"But what IS a [Sacred Gear] anyway?" I asked. Kiba was the one who answered.

"[Sacred Gear] is an irregular power that is bestowed to certain humans. For example, most of the people whose names are recorded in history are said to be possessors of a Sacred Gear. They used the power of their Sacred Gear to record their name in history."

Himejima-san nodded before continuing where Kiba left off "Presently, there are people who possess [Sacred Gears] within their bodies. You know those people who play an important role worldwide? Most of those people possess a [Sacred Gear]."

"...okay, but I have a question." I said, gaining everybody's attention "How DID I became a Devil?"

I've asked the question that's been bugging me since I've been thrown into this world. If was reborn here, why didn't I stay human and became a Devil? That didn't made sense but I just rolled with it until now.

"You've died in a similar way to Ichigo, Kōjiro-kun. You were killed by the hands of a Fallen Angel." Gremory-san said looking at me with a serious expression.

...the hell? How did I died the same way-Wait! My eyes widen in shock as realisation hit me. I get it, I'm in someone else body! Why else would I've been a Devil if the body wasn't that of a Devil's from the start! "Let me guess... This Fallen killed me because they thought that I have a [Sacred Gear], correct?" I stated, getting a hunch on 'my' death.

"Hai." Gremory-san nodded back "Though, it wasn't 'Yūma Amano' that killed you but someone else."

"I see... And the next time I see my killer, I'll pay them back the same way." I darkly muttered to myself. Even if 'I' wasn't the person killed, I just felt that some justice is needed to be served. I can feel that Hyōdō shifted a bit on her spot, a little nervously from what I can tell.
