LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 18: Purpose
*Yato POV*
Now then...
I look at Raynare who is also looking at me with killing intent.
Scary~
"So, you're only a human huh?"
If I remember correctly this trench guy's name is Donahseek.
"I couldn't answer that, Mr...Dohnaseek."
I saw the trench guy knitted his brows with curiosity.
Yes, get curious. And ask me how I know you.
"You... How do you know me?"
Okay, now I get his attention. Why is this so cliche?
Dohnaseek finally guarding up and pointing his light spear in front of me, Dohnaseek really looked down on Rias by how he treated her as if she were nothing in his eyes.
Thank god he retracted the light spear on her, and thank god I still went here.
Thank god for my intuition that something unexpected will happen on my plan.
And I'm also a fucking god.
'If I wasn't here, Rias would have...'
I secretly bit my lips, because of my interference, my existence here in this perverted world, anyone even Issei could die anytime.
I immediately accept the fact that the anime I knew is now real in my eyes.
There's no single protagonist of the world here, everyone could.
We have our own way of life.
Just like this, it was supposed to be different, Rias didn't expose herself to them not until Issei got injured again.
'If I didn't get involved with them and did not plan here, she wouldn't experience something like this.'
I secretly gripped my hold on my snake cane.
'No matter...if what happens in the anime will change then it will change. I don't hold the fate of others but I knew the possible future of them.
Even if I remember only a modicum.
I'll save everyone without seeing someone important to me die.'
It sounds naive when anyone could die at any moment but hey.
At least I finally have a purpose here living in this world, not just acting like yato. But for me as a new person who wants to find his purpose.
What's with this long self-dramatic growth. If this continues Dohnaseek might kill me.
"Didn't you hear me?
How do you know me!"
"I know you because I'm your long-lost brother."
"...what?"
I turn my gaze away from him and look at Raynare.
No matter what I tried to avoid it.
Looking at Raynare was just like looking at my past self.
'Proving your purpose when there's no one will acknowledge about it.'
'believing that what you are doing is for their good.'
And
"Forcing yourself to believe that the only purpose you have is to be recognized."
Of course, to me is not recognized but I want to be acknowledged by that man.
Raynare may be a treacherous person, petty, sadist, and many more
But we couldn't deny how she wants her kind to have a good life.
"What did you say human?"
It seems that everyone heard what I said when I'm looking at Raynare.
Now, based on her expression, she's pissed and wanted to attack me.
Honestly, she could but Raynare didn't.
"Beautiful fallen angel, Do you think... He will recognize you?"
"...What?!"
After saying those words, she began to attack me by throwing her Light Spear.
Balaam!!!
But that spear just shattered like a broken piece of glass, it didn't reach me due to my creation barrier.
"Don't let your eyes off somewhere human."
Dohnaseek was instantly in my backside ready to stab me with his light spear.
"Hahaha, Of course, I wouldn't but I also wanted to say that you should not underestimate a person."
After saying that, Dohnaseek wasn't able to pierce his light spear to me because lightning almost turn him into crisp.
"Ara, it seems we made it in time."
Ah, the sadistic masochist shrine maiden is here.
The two fallen angels look at the person who just comes in.
They are about to escape when.
"Raynare, you have a beautiful pair of black wings, don't tarnish it just for others' wings and be dependent on it.
You have to think of yourself too, also. Don't let " I want to be stronger!" Be filled in your mind."
"You...WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!"
She was instantly right in my front ready to thrust her spear on me.
For sure the barrier creation would block it, but I Deactivate it.
Once the light spear was about to stab my foreign face I stopped it with the tip of my finger.
Everyone was surprised, especially Raynare who was close to me.
I stretch my other arm and started to pat her head. I whispered to her that she is the only one who can hear it, for safety, I put a barrier on us so that our voice wouldn't be heard.
"You can't be recognized at this rate, Azazel would only find you disobeying him, you can't prove yourself if you are like this Raynare.
Ah, also. Don't trust kokabiel, he is using you."
After saying those words, I use my cane to poke Raynare's forehead which she was instantly thrown to Dohnaseek.
She weakly look at me with a bruised on her forehead and angrily said.
"Do you think I'll believe those words human!?"
I waved my head implying that she misunderstood.
"Ah, no, no, no. I don't want you to believe me, nor do I need for you to believe me."
I said as I rest both of my hands on my cane.
"What I wanted is to plant a seed of doubt inside of you, and trust me, when I say it. It's worth it."
She may be a treacherous person but she cares too much about her kind.
Wait, if she is treacherous why would she want to let her kind have a good life.
She was ordered to kill Issei because his sacred gear is dangerous. The issue might berserk if they don't deal with it.
Fuck, I don't remember too much.
For now, What I wanted is for her doubt.
She isn't an easy person when she completely looks down on humans and how much pride she has.
She is the kind of person who won't hear you out not unless you are stronger than her.
In which case, I proved to her I am FAR FAR stronger than her.
She will be probably angry by it that a human can do some damage to her.
Hey, I treated myself as a human okay?
I just watch the two fallen angel escapes.
"Thank you for helping me earlier."
I looked back and saw Rias right in front of me.
Okay, they don't know me nor I will reveal myself.
My heart started to beat rapidly when I saw Koneko.
Koneko was staring at me as if she was trying to recognize me.
Shit shit shit shit.
...
Thank god, I put perfume on my body. Huu...
"Hahaha, I'm just a passerby who happens to witness such a scene, young lady."
"But still thank you."
"No, need to thank me, young lady." I said and whispered, "if it's for you."
Which she heard.
"What do you mean?"
She raises her eyebrow and looks at me, Akeno and Koneko came close facing me.
Akeno is blushing while resting the palm to her cheek, Akeno same as always no expression or whatnot.
"Hey...what is going on here, and Gremory senpai, what's with those wings..."
I look at Issei who seems frustrated, confused, what is more, noticeable is how much hurt he was, not physically but mentally.
"Young man, This Lady will explain it to you for now I wanted to say, Don't hate your girlfriend. I'm not in a position on that and I understand if you don't want to listen to it but, most part that she should deserve death, but every person has their own problem. Give her a chance."
"...how can I hate her...I just want to know why..."
After that, Issei lost consciousness, it seems that Akeno put him to sleep.
"Now...Who are you, Sir...?"
"Wick...John Wick, a simple wanderer that wants to explore the whole world."
"Now, if you excuse me, I have to go."
I have to go, there's no need for a long ass conversation, Koneko might recognize me!
"Wait!"
I didn't look back and continued to walk until I decided to teleport back to my house.
"T-that was close!"
Koneko's eyes were like trying to expose me! I hope she won't recognize me.
I change my clothes and wear the clothes I used on a date.
"I have to be quick."
I have a feeling that Rias will come back also.
"THOSE BAGS! I HOPE IT ISN'T MISSING RIGHT NOW!"
I teleport to the Plaza and Dash heading towards the alley where Rias left me.
Once I spotted the spot, I lean where Rias place me and pretended to be asleep.
...
The perfume won't stack on my skin, right?
.......
Right?
Zero: I did my best to build some lines here, I'm not a philosophical person. But do you think what I type about Raynare here is passable and what is mc said to her? Honestly, I'm not too sure. But I want to say that what She needed for now is doubt. A doubt that will grow stronger.
