DxD: Shadow Monarch

Chapter-122

—----------------

On the day of departure… 

Today is the day when we are going to Kyoto and it's everyone is fully prepared and luckily it seems Aria's mood has improved a lot compared to last time 

And it all happened when I told her she could take Kuroka with her as the result rather than being nervous right now

She is holding Kuroka who is in her cat form while staring at her with bright shining eyes and the good thing is that since Kuroka looks like your regular cat 

Taking her everywhere with us is much easier than a humanoid form since her real form is rather too eye-catching, especially her clothing 

And I don't think anyone would be able to ignore her which is why her being her cat form is much more convenient than her Original form

Not to mention since she is going with Aria, she needs to stay in her cat form to not let Aria find out about her true form

Because I don't know what would be her reaction to knowing that the cat who she so much adored is someone who has a similar appearance to us 

And I think if she knows that the cat she adores so much is deceiving her with a fake appearance then I don't think she will be happy about it

I am sure that she then definitely won't be this open with Kuroka when she knows the reality or maybe she will become more like a robot which is definitely not good

I know someday Aria gonna found out about Kuroka's truth but at least by that time I want Aria to find a real friend who can make Aria more open so that she could become more like a person than a robot

"S-should we go?" Kunou who was wearing something which seems to be called 'miko' or to be more precise 'shrine maiden attire' consisted of a pair of red hakama (divided, pleated trousers), a white kosode (a predecessor of the kimono), and some white or red hair ribbons

This was the same outfit she was wearing when I first found her and it seems she didn't want to wear anything other than this or more like she never wore anything other than this outfit

But since at that time, her clothes were already torn and dirty I created the same copies of her clothes that she was wearing since it was a piece of cake for me 

And maybe because she thought of this as some kind of magic trick since suddenly a bunch of clothes appeared in my hands, she was looking at me with nothing but pure admiration in her big eyes

Which was quite a scene to watch since this might be one of the few times when I saw her face properly because she always has her head down whenever she is with me 

"Yes but before that" I replied as I looked at her fluffy ears as well as her fluffy tail and I didn't think it was a good idea to take her out like this especially since normal humans aren't aware of supernatural species like devils, youkai; etc. 

But it's fine since I already prepared the solution for this problem as with that in my mind, I brought my fist in front of her and then opened my fist 

"Wear this," I said as I revealed the pitch-black ring in my hand and it was the same as Aria's ring which was given by Fia and had the same function as that ring

Or might be more better than the original ring that Fia given since I am pretty sure nothing could destroy that duplicate ring which I created at least in this world

Maybe I should give one to Aria just in case later since I can't be sure when she might need an extra ring in case of any emergency situation where her ring stops functioning or accidentally gets destroyed 

"T-This is?" Kunou asked this with a confused expression on her face as she looked at the ring in my hand and suddenly next moment after seeing what was in my hand

Her entire face got red as her ears got down meanwhile I could see her tail swinging at a very high speed since from that swing I can probably guess that she was happy

Since yonkai and animal characteristics are similar meaning her tail swinging means she is happy but why? 

Is it because she thinks this a gift since that's reasonable because kids always like to receive gifts and I think it's very true for girls receiving accessories as gifts like a ring

After a while, she calmed down as she slowly stretched her hand towards me but she stretched the wrong side of her hand

Maybe she was nervous about receiving this item which is why she hesitated, I got tired of waiting as I gently grabbed her hand straight and then gave her the ring while I told her to wear it

Her tail dropped with her ears like she got upset maybe it was because I grabbed her hand since that's possible especially when she comes from high profile background

Anyway, after a few moments, she did as I said and wore the ring on her finger as her ears and fluffy tail completely disappeared

Well not disappear since it's technically still there but still blends in with the surroundings meaning I or anyone else still could touch it but no one can see it 

So it's better to say that her fox-like characteristics have now become transparent instead of disappearing as well and it's the same case with the ring that Aria is wearing

Kunou looked extremely surprised and frightened after seeing this change as she thought that she lost her ears and tail
