Reincarnated into the Multiverse, but High School DxD

However, she seemed to realize something and hurriedly covered her mouth.

This probably wasn't something she should be asking about, was it?

"Kuoh Town."

Ren answered.

There was nothing to hide about that.

In fact, neither Griselda nor the system mission had strictly required him to take Asia anywhere in particular.

Since there was no such requirement, Ren naturally intended to head to where the story took place.

Kuoh Town was a good place.

Most of the original plot would unfold there, and all the named heroines were gathered there as well.

Having finally transmigrated into the world of DXD, it would be impossible for Ren, as a transmigrator, not to have a few ideas.

If it had been one of those serious other worlds, that would have been one thing. But this was a fanservice-heavy anime where they were practically fully exposed. If he didn't properly experience it, he would be letting down the system that had sent him here.

Asia was wondering what kind of place Kuoh Town was, but having never even left the Vatican in her entire life, she had no idea what the outside world was like.

So after a brief moment of thought, the colorful world quickly stole the girl's attention.

The neon lights, the endless stream of cars, the bright signs hanging from the shops on both sides of the street—even the fashionable clothes worn by passersby caught Asia's eye.

For someone like her, who had lived in the tranquil confines of the church since childhood, the outside world was simply too alluring.

Just then.

A fragrant aroma drifted over.

It instantly hooked Asia's attention.

What entered the girl's view was roasted meat skewered on a large iron spit. Its surface had been roasted to a golden brown, while a clerk sliced off pieces of cooked meat with a knife. The scent of grease and sauce drifted away on the breeze.

Asia swallowed unconsciously.

"Want some?"

Ren asked.

He was getting a little hungry himself.

Hearing that, Asia nodded instinctively, only to quickly shake her head again.

But the little bit of drool already at the corner of her mouth betrayed her.

Ren said nothing more and walked over to the roast meat shop, ordering two wraps.

The roasted meat was spread generously across a white flatbread, then topped with sauce and a little cheese, along with slices of tomato and onion, before being wrapped up in the dough.

It was simple, ordinary food that could be found anywhere, yet the moment Asia took a bite, tears began welling up in her eyes.

The church did not forbid nuns from eating meat. It was simply that Asia had always lived a poor life in the church. Every day, she ate bread and milk; at noon, vegetable soup and pasta; dinner was about the same. She rarely had the chance to eat meat, and she could only ever see such foods on television.

Far Eastern Stray Exorcists

Of course, that did not mean Asia had never eaten meat before.

It was just that the meat prepared at the church was usually incredibly bland, leaving almost no taste in her mouth.

So tasting food from outside for the first time moved Asia to tears.

For a moment, the girl even cast aside the troubles of being expelled. What she held in her hands seemed to be the very thing called happiness.

But soon, she choked because she was eating too quickly.

Ren had to make her gulp down a large mouthful of soda before she recovered.

Then, after tasting the fruity soda, Asia stared fixedly at the plastic bottle in Ren's hand and said somewhat incoherently, "R-Ren... sir, I feel like something is fighting in the deepest part of my mouth. W-What is this?"

"It's soda. Nothing is fighting in your mouth—it's just the feeling of the bubbles bursting."

Faced with such a silly yet adorable girl, Ren could only explain patiently.

He would just treat her like a pet.

"You can have the rest too."

Seeing how interested Asia was, Ren handed the soda to her.

"Th-Thank you."

She carefully accepted it as though it were a treasure, then tentatively took a small sip.

When the bubbles and fruity flavor burst across her tongue, the girl immediately narrowed her eyes, her entire body trembling slightly.

For Asia, who had never tasted fast food before, the ordinary meal Ren had treated her to today was already the most delicious food she had ever eaten in her life.

Half an hour later.

Despite having already eaten dinner earlier, Asia's little belly was slightly swollen.

Ren, who currently intended to raise her like a pet, was not stingy. He took her around Milan's night market.

Though the variety of snacks was not as great as the night markets in China before his transmigration, it still left Asia dazzled.

So after half an hour, having sampled all kinds of delicacies, she was completely stuffed.

"R-Ren... sir, I'm sorry... I don't think I can go to Kuoh Town with you right now... Urgh..."

Asia covered her mouth, looking as though she might throw up at any moment.

"It's fine. I wasn't planning to go there right away anyway. I'll take you around Rome first. After all, you probably haven't had much of a chance to explore this place in all these years, right?"

"...Eh? Really?"

"I happen to have a few things to take care of as well."

"...Okay."

Asia's eyes immediately lit up.

Ever since she could remember, she had lived in the church. Though she had not been confined there all the time, she had only followed priests or nuns from the church to other monasteries to preach or handle miscellaneous matters.

The bustle and liveliness were close to her, yet also far away.

After all, as a saintess, Asia could not possibly have been allowed to wander about freely.

But Ren did not truly want to tour Rome.

He only wanted to know when the target of this mission would appear.

According to his memories of the original work, shortly after Asia was expelled, she was taken in by an organization called the Far Eastern Stray Exorcists, who told her to take up a position at a church in Kuoh Town, Japan.

Of course, all of that was a lie.

What awaited Asia was merely a Sacred Gear extraction ritual that had long been prepared.

It was rather funny when he thought about it.

Of all the places those fallen angels could have chosen, they had picked the city under Rias's jurisdiction.

If it had been another city, without their help, Asia would likely have died long ago.

As he thought about this, time slowly passed.

Late that night, Ren took the exhausted yet still enthusiastic Asia to rent a hotel room.

When the receptionist saw Ren arrive with a girl dressed as a nun, a strange expression appeared on her face.

In a city full of churches, renting a room with a woman cosplaying as a nun was pretty bold.

Ren did not care what others thought.

After booking a room with two beds, he took Asia upstairs.

"You go take a shower first. I'll wash up afterward."

Ren sat in a chair and began scrolling through his phone.

"Okay!"

Asia readily agreed, picked out some clothes from her suitcase, hugged them to her chest, and walked into the bathroom.

But when the hot water from the showerhead poured over her face, she belatedly realized something.

She was sharing a room with a member of the opposite sex?!

Realizing that, Asia immediately cupped her cheeks with both hands. Her face visibly reddened at an astonishing speed, like a fully cooked crab.

"Was it... an accident? Or could it be..."

Asia could not help wondering.

But she quickly shook her head.

Water droplets immediately flew everywhere from her blond hair, clinging to the glass and mirror.

"No, that's not right. Mr. Ren definitely isn't that kind of person. He's an envoy sent by God to guide me. He treated me to delicious food and took me to so many places. Besides, there are two beds in this room."

"It must be because there were no other rooms available."

"And Mr. Ren is God's envoy. How could he possibly have such thoughts?! My thoughts must be too wicked. Lord, please forgive me. I should not have thought that way just now. Amen."

The girl made the sign of the cross over her chest.

As she thought that, the blush on her face gradually faded.

Meanwhile.

Ren looked speechlessly at the translucent frosted glass wall of the bathroom.

Though he could not make out everything clearly, he could vaguely see the girl's delicate and graceful body.

Her snow-white skin looked like milk under the lights. Because of the glass, Asia's skin seemed even more like a piece of finely carved jade.

So was this fanservice his reward for spending this time punishing evil and upholding justice?

Of course, whether it was coincidence or fate's arrangement.

It could only be said that this fit DXD's overall tone perfectly.

Since that was the case, he openly admired the view.

It had to be said, Asia had a pretty good figure.

Though she was not as eye-catching as Rias or Akeno Himejima, her petite form was adorable in its own way.

Not long after.

The sound of running water stopped.

Asia emerged timidly in a simple set of pajamas, her little face steaming as she did not quite dare to meet Ren's eyes.

"P-Please."

After saying that, she hurried over to the bed and covered herself with the blanket.

A Meticulous Plan

The thing Asia had worried about all night did not happen.

Ren might have intended to get to know these heroines, but he was not so desperate.

Nothing happened that night.

The next day, Ren took Asia around Milan as promised.
