Harry sighed, probably expecting a busy schedule already, and got ready to cast again.

"...Ophis." I spoke the name of the devil (figuratively) after playing video games for three hours and getting bored. Then I had decided to study about the multiple alternate universes I had available to explore when I decided to do so, which is to say I read and watched all sorts of fictional works, mainly anime and fantasy novels. But there was, in fact, too much of a good thing, and I had hit my limit.

"Yes?" Speak thy name and she appears. I didn't even release any void that time.

"Should I do anything as your apostle? I got a job teaching a kid but I really need more to do. I can only buy so many games before I get bored."

"Sleep."

"I just did for nine hours."

"I don't need an apostle."

"And I don't need a god. I'm still bored."

"... Help my minions."

"The Khaos Brigade? I guess I could do that. They're dicks, though."

"Dicks?"

"Bad people. Jerks. Terrorists."

"Oh..." Ophis looked down and thought. I looked to my games and wondered if there was anything else I could play at all. I quickly came to the conclusion that I really was just bored of my games. I wanted to do something, not lay about.

"Help your minion," she said.

"Who?"

"Your worshipper."

"Oh. Oh! Elsyria! Right, I forgot about her... maybe I should grow my church?"

"Yes," Ophis agreed. "It is an excellent way to waste time."

"Thanks, Ophis," I smiled. "I'll go do that."

"Mm." Ophis disappeared in a short swirl of black energy and I stood up and felt for the connection to Elsyria. I reached through it and saw a strange scene.

"And here we are, the holy ones who serve the righteous darkness! We are the absence left by an infinite emptiness!" a feminine voice shouted. In front of me there was a congregation of various people in robes.

"Hail the apostle!" they chanted fervently.

"Hail the Apostle!" Elsyria repeated with a grin. I disconnected from her senses and sat in shock.

"Oh fuck," I swore. I recalled my conversation with Elsyria last time. Nothing had seemed too off. I told her to send me monthly reports on Issei and his company, which she had done even if they weren't at all useful and I told her to move to Kuoh town.. I also told her to be my agent in this world. Fuck me sideways.

Hoping against hope I looked through our connection again and tried to use observe on her. It was even worse than I could have imagined.
