Because of what he had experienced during the Holy Sword Project, and because Miss Moonlit, the vampire, had saved him, vampires and devils seemed far more open and honorable to him than that rotten church.
He did not reject the "evil devils" spoken of by the church at all...
And he had asked Moonlit before: if she turned him into one of her familiars, he would not need to become a devil. Compared to becoming a devil, becoming a vampire of Moonlit's lineage appealed to him more.
However, Miss Moonlit could never bite males, so that idea was naturally impossible. He could only become a devil for now...
As Moonlit's familiar, Tosca did not hesitate to refuse the invitations of the two devil heiresses. She could not betray Miss Moonlit and become someone else's familiar.
Even though devil pieces could continue transforming her, turning the bloodline of Moonlit's vampires into potential and giving her a higher limit.
Although Tosca had not agreed to become Rias's or Sona Sitri's familiar, neither of them had completely given up. At the same time, Tosca had joined the student council, so she was relatively close to Sona Sitri's side.
Sona Sitri was the student council president of Kuoh Academy.
It was only after joining the student council that Tosca had learned quite a bit of information useful to Miss Moonlit, something Moonlit supported.
"Human, I want to go to Kuoh Academy tomorrow. Is there a way for me to enter openly and look around?"
Setting down her cup, Moonlit asked Tosca about her request. Now that she had come to Koma Village, Kuoh Academy was somewhere she had to visit.
Not only did she want to see those heroines, she also wanted to confirm her bounty target and the Sacred Gear she had her eye on.
Hadn't she come to Koma Village for a huge harvest of Crystals?
"That won't be a problem. Kuoh Academy has always been accepting outside students. If you wish, my lady, you could transfer directly into the school as a transfer student."
Moonlit's request was not difficult. If she only wanted to visit, Tosca could bring Miss Moonlit inside. Even becoming a student at the school would not be much of a problem.
"Uh, a transfer student? Me?"
Hearing Tosca's suggestion, Miss Moonlit froze slightly. She had never considered becoming a high school student!
Her original self had already graduated from university. Thinking back on those three years of high school... she did not even know how she had endured them. If someone asked whether she wanted to return to high school, she would definitely say no!
But if it was high school in the Island Nation, that was something she could consider.
Still, Moonlit looked at her current situation. Was it appropriate for her to attend high school?
She was now Moonlit Oath: For Love with Heart. Although Miss Moonlit was very cute, she was already ten thousand years old.
"That would be completely fine. Lady Moonlit looks very young. You could pass for a high school student, or even a university student, without any problem."
Tosca looked Miss Moonlit over. Naturally, she knew Moonlit could not be young. A few years ago, Moonlit had looked exactly the same, without changing in the slightest.
But based on appearance alone, Miss Moonlit was not much worse than those well-developed upperclassmen. Whether it was student council president Sona Sitri or Rias, their development was about the same as Lady Moonlit's.
"I'll think about it first."
Moonlit pondered for a few seconds but made no decision.
If it was unnecessary, she could not be bothered to go back to school. In any case, she would visit Kuoh Academy tomorrow and decide after seeing the situation.
"Alright."
Hearing Moonlit's words, Tosca did not dwell on it. She was merely giving her master a suggestion. Whether to accept it was up to her master.
Though personally, she wanted Moonlit to enroll.
"Also, tell me about Issei Hyoudou."
"Issei Hyoudou..."
Tosca's expression turned extremely strange. She did not understand why Moonlit was so interested in that guy.
At Kuoh Academy, Issei Hyoudou, Matsuda, and Motohama were known as the Pervert Trio. Nearly every girl in the school hated them. Peeping on girls changing clothes, talking about dirty things, behaving sleazily...
Most girls quickly kept their distance whenever they saw the three of them, yet the trio remained completely unaware of it.
Although she did not understand, Tosca still told Moonlit about Issei Hyoudou.
So far, there was nothing worth noting. It was merely the usual behavior of Issei Hyoudou and his two companions, with nothing standing out about him.
Other than his obsession with boobs!
Because Issei Hyoudou had often listened to creepy old men on the street tell all sorts of stories involving women's boobs when he was young, he had developed an extreme fetish for boobs.
"Nothing has begun yet."
Not even that Fallen Angel, Raynare, Issei Hyoudou's first love, had appeared. No one knew that he possessed a Sacred Gear within him.
Crimson Dragon Emperor's Cage!
Moonlit would not give up on a Sacred Gear...
But if he no longer had that Sacred Gear, Issei Hyoudou's future would change, wouldn't it?
His dozens of super-harem wives, including angels, devils, Yokai, Valkyries, nuns, shrine maidens, witches, fox girls, cat girls, Onmyoji, vampires, dragon girls, princesses... and all sorts of others, would be beyond his reach as well.
She had to admit that regarding Issei Hyoudou... the girl from her previous life had been incredibly jealous. Every time she watched, she had wanted nothing more than to take his place.
A true harem king!
Who would not like that?
So for a long time, she had wanted to transmigrate into this world and obtain a Sacred Gear.
Yet the sad part was that now she really had come to this world and possessed a Sacred Gear, but she had also become a girl.
What a grudge! What torment!!
She had obtained the wish she had dreamed of, yet it was completely useless.
She could only look but not touch.
No, she could touch. She simply had nowhere to put it to use. Damn it!
If she could not have it, no one else could either.
She would steal Issei Hyoudou's Sacred Gear and make sure he could not build a harem either.
The girl thought darkly to herself.
Hahahahaha... (#Yandere laughter)
"Lady Moonlit, are you alright?"
Tosca looked at the girl before her, who had suddenly become strange and inexplicably frightening, and asked worriedly.
"I-I'm fine."
Coming back to her senses, Moonlit hurriedly patted her cheeks. What nonsense was she thinking about?
"That's good. Oh, right! Lady Moonlit, you must be tired from your journey. Would you like to take a bath?"
Remembering something, Tosca made the suggestion to Moonlit.
Many people in the Island Nation were accustomed to bathing. Even in a small one-bedroom apartment like this, the bathroom had a dedicated little tub for soaking.
For Tosca, soaking in a bath after returning home every day was the most comfortable time. Being wrapped in warm water was incredibly relaxing.
"A bath? Sure!"
She was a little tempted. Come to think of it, Moonlit had never really taken a proper bath before.
"Then I'll go prepare one for you, Lady Moonlit."
Having received her answer, Tosca immediately got up and headed to the bathroom to prepare the water.
Not long after, once she had filled the tub and confirmed that the temperature was right, she carefully took out a packet of something from the nearby drawer and poured it into the water.
Soon, many bubbles appeared on the surface.
How could a bath in the Island Nation be complete without a bubble bath...
"Lady Moonlit, it's ready."
Only after everything was prepared did Tosca call for Moonlit to bathe.
"So comfortable~~"
Miss Moonlit lay in the bath. It really was very comfortable, and her whole body relaxed. There were even two cute little ducks floating in the tub, which the girl curiously poked.
These must have been Tosca's little childish indulgence!
Who knew how much time passed before Tosca's voice sounded at the bathroom door.
"Lady Moonlit, would you like me to scrub your back?"
As Tosca spoke, she had already entered.
"..."
By the time Moonlit emerged from the bathroom, it was already very late.
"Lady Moonlit, you can sleep in my bed tonight. I've already changed the sheets."
Tosca brought Moonlit into the bedroom and told her to sleep there. The bedroom was not large, but it was also very cozy. The overall color scheme was light, and beside the tatami bed were a desk, mirror, wardrobe, various decorations, and plush toys, all neatly arranged by the girl.
It did not look messy at all. Instead, it felt incredibly comfortable.
"What about you? Where will you sleep?"
If Tosca gave her the bed, would she not have nowhere to sleep?
Before coming here, Moonlit had thought Tosca had extra rooms. But there was only one bedroom and one bed.
"I can sleep on the sofa in the living room. I sleep on the sofa often anyway."
Tosca did not mind. The sofa was large enough for one person to sleep on. There had been many times when she did not sleep in bed and simply slept on the sofa.
"How can that be..."
Miss Moonlit could not simply take the girl's bed for herself and let her sleep on the sofa.
She would feel too guilty.
"This bed is pretty big. Human, sleep with me!"
Moonlit glanced at the tatami bed in the bedroom. Though it was not particularly large, there was no problem fitting two people. Especially since neither Moonlit nor Tosca was fat, there was more than enough room!
"Th-this... is that alright?"
After hesitating for a moment, Tosca blinked her big eyes and asked.
Sleeping together with Lady Moonlit...
"Let's sleep together."
Looking at Tosca, Moonlit felt that something was off, but she still decided on it.
"Mm, I'll listen to Lady Moonlit."
She nodded obediently, but when Moonlit was not paying attention, the corners of the girl's lips curled up slightly.
The earth gradually awakened to the call of dawn. The sky slowly turned pale at the horizon, and a red sun rose from the earth.
Pale golden light filtered through the window, bringing warmth and tranquility to the room.
On the bed, the beautiful white-haired girl instinctively tried to rub her eyes, only to discover that her hands could not move at all.
She slowly opened her beautiful crimson eyes, then saw a lovely profile before her. Only then did Moonlit remember that she was at Tosca's home, and that she had slept with Tosca last night.
The reason her hands could not move was because the girl was pressing them beneath herself.
"Tosca..."
Moonlit softly called Tosca's name, wanting to wake her.
Yet instead of waking up, Tosca suddenly turned over and pulled her into an embrace.
"..."
This girl was not very well-behaved in her sleep!
After a little while longer, Tosca finally woke up. Realizing what she had done, she hurriedly apologized to Moonlit. Seeing how sincere she looked, Moonlit found it difficult to say anything and could only let it go.
After breakfast, as they left the apartment, a familiar boy appeared at the door.
It was Isaiah, though he should be called Kiba Yuto now. After becoming a devil, Isaiah had been unwilling to recall the Holy Sword Project, so Kiba Yuto had become his new name.
"Lady Moonlit."
