"Kaito, what are you doing here?"
When Kaito opened his eyes again, he was in the middle of a park, near a fountain and right behind a tree. It was exactly the same place where he had disconnected the last time he was in the DxD world. Right in the plaza where Issei's girlfriend had just revealed her identity before piercing through him with a spear made of sacred magic.
According to the situation, Rias had just passed through a teleportation circle and was saving Issei from the clutches of death, while he himself had been discovered by Koneko at this moment and was not in the best situation.
This realization confused Kaito a little, he did not understand how a simulation could manage to mix all the simulations of all the people who had entered impossible mode this time and avoid overlaps.
Fortunately, a notification explained it to him immediately.
[Warning: It has been detected that the simulation contains Lords who surpassed the first mission of this world with grades higher than A.]
[The hidden aspect 'Continuity' has been activated]
[Continuity:
Instead of entering another timeline where the Lords have not intervened, the simulation will adapt to the previous experiences of everyone whose previous grade in the mission world has surpassed A.
The simulation will give priority in descending order to avoid overlaps, where in case of problems the version of the Lord with the highest grade in the first round will be taken into account and the one with the lower grade will be ignored.]
'I see, so this world is basically the same one I was in the last time, only with changes made by people with grades higher than A that do not overlap with my version'
Kaito actually did not believe there would be many of them. After all, this was a simulation in his server, if someone else had received a grade higher than A in the first world, he would have already found out.
"Kaito, are you ignoring me?" At that moment, Kaito felt his arm being twisted with force, Koneko had held him against her back and applied pressure, trying to make him confess through the pain.
'Right, I was in this situation' Kaito remembered with an ironic smile. Seeing Koneko trying to kill him was certainly a funny situation.
"I was simply passing by, I don't know what is happening.
Koneko, we have to get out of here, it seems dangerous" Kaito pretended innocence.
Remembering that here he had pretended, or rather, he actually was at that moment, a normal person, Kaito decided to pretend that he was confused and scared, while also adding concern towards his friend whose true identity he was supposed to be unaware of in his act.
But Koneko did not believe him even a little.
"I can easily smell your lies, Kaito. I am applying enough force to break the arm of any normal person and even so you do not show any expression of pain. You are not normal... and you are definitely not just passing by" Koneko said with a cold voice completely devoid of emotion while staring directly into his eyes with distrust.
Faced with her words, Kaito did not know what to say, not only because he had been caught but because of the method. If Koneko had applied such force from the beginning, then she had clearly already suspected him, but why? He did not remember doing anything suspicious the last time.
"Are you wondering since when I suspected you? We never trusted you, Kaito. We only have you in the club to keep an eye on you, the only reason I approached you was to watch you as well" Koneko replied with a mocking smile, as if she had guessed his thoughts.
Kaito was stunned for a second, his mind going blank.
'What? No, impossible. I am sure that is not how it is. I needed affection from her in order to summon her, so it has to be a lie, but then... what is happening?'
Kaito's brain almost suffered a short circuit immediately, thousands of possibilities passed through his mind, but even so, he still could not understand what the hell was happening.
Seeing his expression, Koneko's serious expression finally relaxed... before she started laughing.
"Pfft hahaha, Kaito, you should have seen your face" Koneko laughed, finally releasing him.
"What? What is happening?" Kaito asked, still unable to understand anything.
Koneko said nothing, instead she approached Kaito and wrapped her arm around his neck before kissing him.
After a few seconds, she finally separated her mouth and smiled while licking her lips.
"Does that answer your question?"
"...how did you get here?" Kaito realized.
"I don't know." Koneko shrugged. "I was training in the territory when I suddenly appeared here out of nowhere."
[If you go to a recurring world where you previously obtained a summon from, the summon will go with you, taking its place in the world.]
"And you couldn't tell me before?"
[It seemed like your girlfriend was having fun, so I let her continue.]
"You..."
"It seems the system already explained the reason to you?"
"Yes, it was..."
"Tell me later. Rias already finished with what she was doing and is coming here" Koneko interrupted him.
"What do we do?"
"I have a plan, but I need you to pass out"
"Pass out? I don't know if..."
"It's fine, I'll handle it" Koneko interrupted him again before hitting him on the back of the neck.
While Kaito started to see everything turn black and lost consciousness, he could not help but complain.
'Are you kidding me? Even with my Motion abilities and my current resistance... with a single hit?'
Of course, the fact that Kaito had no guard raised against her had something to do with it, but even so, the fact that she had knocked him unconscious with one hit was enough for Kaito to complain before falling asleep, realizing the long road he still had ahead of him.
"Kaito? What is happening?" Almost instantly after Kaito fainted, Rias arrived there with Issei's unconscious body in her arms. She was surprised to see Kaito unconscious, leaning against Koneko.
"He was in the plaza when the fallen angel erected the barrier. As soon as the barrier touched him, he fainted. I think he might have reacted to supernatural energy and activated something in his body."
"Hmm" Rias thought for a moment. She did not doubt Koneko, she had no intentions of doing so, she was only thinking about what could have happened. Finally, an idea formed in her mind and she pronounced a name. "Adam"
"Adam?" Koneko asked as if she did not know what she was talking about.
"Yes. We already checked him before and he is a completely normal human, without any trace of any kind of energy or Sacred Gear. In fact, his body even seems to reject any type of modification.
I think he could have Adam's bloodline, which would explain that. Adam's bloodline is not really very powerful, he is just a human more powerful than normal, although he does not reach the level of strong supernatural beings. His peculiarity is that he actively rejects any type of modification to his bloodline.
I think contact with powerful supernatural energy awakened his dormant bloodline" Rias explained.
"Will he... be alright?" Koneko asked, pretending to be worried.
'Comparing a simple original human with my Kaito, what nonsense' In her mind, Koneko could not help but disdain the idea itself.
Actually, if they were going to compare Kaito, Koneko would rather compare him with Lucifer, the first Angel who did not want to follow the others and was punished for it, but even so ended up creating his own followers.
But of course, she would not say this out loud, instead she only nodded while superficially agreeing.
"What a shame, I wanted to ask you to carry Issei" Rias lamented. "But now that the situation changed, I suppose you will want to carry Kaito"
Koneko lifted Kaito, carrying him like a princess, which at first glance gave a strange impression.
"No, President" Koneko shook her head before correcting her. "Even if Kaito had not gotten involved, I would not touch that pervert"
"Ahhh" Rias sighed and smiled helplessly, knowing Koneko's personality well. "Alright, I will take Issei to his house for now, let's let him get used to it before revealing the truth to him. You take Kaito to the clubroom dormitory"
"Why? Wouldn't it be better to take him to the club and explain everything to him? Why would you leave him at his house? What if they attack him again after seeing he survived?" Koneko threw out a wave of logical questions that directly crashed against Rias.
Hearing this, Rias could only force a smile and nod, somewhat embarrassed.
"I-I suppose you are right" She replied.
"President. Could it be that you just wanted to pretend to be mysterious like in a manga?" Koneko asked directly.
"O-of course not. Koneko, I am a high-class demon and heir to the Gremory clan, I would never let myself be influenced by simple geek culture from Earth"
Seeing her obvious guilty reaction, Koneko could not help but sigh.
"President, sometimes you can be very stupid"
"Koneko? You are very talkative today" Rias complained, indignant and surprised at the same time. "But why does it have to be to criticize me?"
Koneko simply ignored her and started walking towards the club.
...
"Wow, so we got two new members at the same time?" In the clubroom, Akeno laughed amusedly while looking at the two unconscious men. "Although one of them is still human?"
"Kaito is not a demon" Rias replied before explaining the general situation to everyone gathered there.
"Adam's bloodline, something rare but quite weak." Akeno said.
"Although it is not necessarily a bad thing, any strength, no matter how small, is still better than having none at all" Kiba added from the side.
"Then, Issei has several serious injuries, so I will go heal him" Rias said, lifting Issei again, who she had left on the sofa. "Koneko, bring Kaito. After healing Issei I will heal him as well. Even though he has no visible injuries, it is better to be safe than sorry."
"It is not necessary" Koneko refused without hesitation. "I can heal him on my own"
"Ara, could our little tower be jealous?" Akeno laughed upon seeing this.
"Koneko, I am only going to heal him, it is nothing bad" Rias insisted. Today Koneko was behaving quite strangely.
"It is not necessary. Kaito has no visible injuries. For injuries that do not even leave a mark, it is not necessary for you to undress and hug him, thank you very much" Koneko did not give in and also insisted on her refusal.
"Koneko?!" Rias' face turned red, not because of her words themselves but because of the implication. "It is to heal him, the more contact there is, the more efficient it will be. I have no other intentions!"
"No one is chasing you, there is no need to be efficient" Koneko replied naturally.
While the two of them confronted each other with words, Kiba and Akeno only watched from the side, both with smiles. The blond swordsman's was one of helplessness with a hint of amusement, while the Thunder Priestess' was only one of amusement and curiosity.
