The Esper Devil ( Esper OC X Highschool DxD )

I'm laying on my bed trying to understand what happened, trying to make sense of what I saw

Xenovia's eyes, Kiba's words, Issei's determination

They were all of someone who legitimately wanted to protect what was precious to them, not that of a monster nor a demon

Xenovia, the way that even on her last legs she still stood up to help her companion, she even mentioned a promise to protect Asia

Rias' exclamations about how she would not forgive someone who hurted her servants

This is not the behavior of a demon, if anything it's the behavior of what I would call ...

A hero?

Living among espers and heroes I met a lot of people who were like them, I can even say that those demons showed me a behaviour far more heroic than that of some so called "heroes" from the past

Maybe I was wrong, maybe not all demons are evil creatures...

I mean, since I came to this town they did nothing bad to anyone

Maybe just like there are good humans and bad humans, there are good demons and bad demons, and I happened to cross ways with the good ones just now?

There is still a lot for me to learn about the otherworld, I took hours of consideration just to think about it. This would go against everything I know, but I can't think about any other explanation

Agh...

I shove my head against my pillow

But is it really true? Or is it just wishful thinking?

I already fought against demons who looked human, but none of them acted the way Rias and her servants did, what made them human in my eyes was their behavior, but is it really enough to tell if they are good or not?

And even if they are not evil, what should I do?

It's not like I can just pop up from nowhere and say 'Hey, I'm the guy who almost killed you yesterday, sorry about that, can we be friends now?'

Also, I was not thinking about that during the battle, but what about the dark devil? Kuriko said that I would meet a devil that would change my view on demons, but I did not see anything resembling a dark devil among them

What the fuck is a dark devil anyway? When you hear the expression 'Dark Devil' you will inevitably think about an extremely evil existence or at least someone with an incredibly big dark aura and killing intent

But Rias and her followers had none of it, unless we are talking about Rias' red and dark energy, but I doubt it's that

I sigh

Guess that until I know what to do I should keep a low profile, hide my powers and just observe, if they haven't hurted anyone yet, I do not think they'll try it now.

In fact, they seem to have taken the job of fighting the bad demons, so I think I'll leave this work for them too...

Eventually, I will be sure of who they are and what to tell them... I hope

Untill then, guess I'll just watch from a distance, I decided to try normal lifestyle in the first place wasn't it?

Yes, it's not like I came to this town to hunt, however, it's actually me who has caused all the fighting in the first place.

Oh wait, what am I going to say to Ayumu then?

Even if I make a compromise with myself, it's not possible to simply tell her what I saw and expect her to leave it like that. Calling her to this town might also be too dangerous, would she even be able to live in peace surrounded by all these demons? I know that it's going to be hard for me, so it might be even harder for her...

Just breathing the air of this town is weird, every inch of it permeates demonic aura, I've been doing my best to keep it under control, especially in my house, but what would she do if she were around it?

Ah... what I'm gonna do?

* BEEEEEP *

My alarm rings

I spent the whole night worrying about this, I did not get any sleep

Aghh, I'm really not into the mood for school, I don't even wanna look at those demons, I'll call it sick today.

I turn off the alarm and lay down again staring at the ceiling

Dark devil...

Who the hell are you?
