Chapter 1

One of my pet peeves when it comes to the light novels, especially the battle-harem kind, is how much of the world development and non-main character-related events are glossed through or simplified in a manner that raises many questions.

Some of those questions can be very worrying.

Let's say… there's this OP arc villain that the main character and his main harem can't defeat without lots of help, so they need to fulfill various requirements just to have a chance against the enemy of the week. They decide that they need to chip away at the antagonist's strength, there's a minor character established a few volumes ago with a weak ass power has that effect, but he sucks… so what happens? That poor bastard gets powered up by a procedure that has been established since the first volume to be freaking dangerous and life threatening! Not just to the recipient, but to the ”donors” from where the new power-ups come from?

What is the main question here? Well... How did a faction filled with non-humans of dubious morality (to say the least) enhance a side character (to be a convenient and future plot device/ally) through a dangerous procedure involving extremely hard to get materials?

What does it sound like to me? It's as if some group became either desperate or science crazy and decided to buff up a human / human-like side character as if he was a Common Rarity character in some Gacha game with really strange materials that has terrifying implications when you take a moment to really think about it.

It worries me. It worries me a lot.

Well, of course it worries me! Considering that the Truck-sama decided to send me off to Highschool DXD, where that exact scenario has happened (and many other similar events) before, I have legitimate reasons for worrying my ass off about all of this!

To cut a long story short, I'm concerned about the story of Genshirou Saji. The resident counterpart comparison to the perverted main character Issei Hyoudou but with an added impregnation fetish.

If I recalled correctly, during the whole (lame version of) Loki debacle, Saji just had several different ”Vritra Sacred Gears” stuffed into him by the Fallen Angels. Like, what the f.u.c.k? Hasn't it been established that Sacred Gears are attached to people's souls? What kind of f.u.c.kery is this?

How the actual f.u.c.k.i.n.g hell did they just randomly get Sacred Gears? Especially those specific high-powered ones that belong to the split soul of an Evil Dragon? Did they just go to some random possessor and say, ”Oh hey there, you have the soul of a dead Dragon King in you, imma just gonna shank you and rip it out of you for research, teehee!”

Oh sure, there's the possibility of those Sacred Gear wielders being the mad-types that would go crazy just from activating their god-given artifact but what if they weren't? What if Saji only lucked out because he so happened to be the only Vritra Sacred Gear wielder that was part of the biblical faction alliance?

Considering that no other Vritra-user appeared in the light novels despite there being mention of even more of those types of Sacred Gears… I can only speculate on the possibilities… and it worries me.

Ah, why am I worried about the case of Saji Genshirou specifically? It's because I know the guy in my second life.

Well, of course I know him. He's me.

It took me a few years to figure out I was in Highschool DXD. To be fair, it only took so long to confirm my suspicions because I had to wait until I was old enough to ask legitimate questions on the geography of Japan. I mean, if some four-year-old kid asked about whether there was a town called ”Kuou” or not, then that would be very weird.

A six year old child prodigy? Heh, it was a much more reasonable question to ask one's parents then.

I'd like to think that I played the role of a good son for most of my new life in this battle harem genre world.

When my new fraternal twin siblings Gosei and Kouho had been born when I turned ten years old, I had devoted a good amount of time that I could have spent on training with them and helping my mother when I could.

Thanks to all my help, my father considers me reliable enough to let me get away with a lot of things, and my mother spoils me a whole lot. I'm twelve years old now and I sure hope that my siblings won't feel left out by the different treatment that they're likely to get.

”...Genshirou, why did you skip school again?” My second mother Haru Saji, a sweet and caring woman, gently questioned me after finding her child hiding out in our home's storehouse instead of going to school.

For the third time this year.

And the twentieth time since I started Elementary school.

”Oh, you know, the usual. I had a bad feeling and I thought someone would break into the house to kill my lovely mother. So I decided to camp here to reverse gank your would-be assailant while getting some studying done at the same time.” I smiled as I explained my reasoning for this particular incident as I hid the metal pipe I ”salvaged” from somewhere behind me.

”Ufufu, my brave little boy is so sweet. You're still getting punished, however, so no Weekly Shonen Jump for you.” She admonished me and took my Level 1 weapon away from me.

”Aww...” One day I shall be vindicated, and I truly am not looking forward to that day...

”You shouldn't be worrying so much.”

”I can't help it.”

Considering that the pasts of most of the Sitri peerage were unknown, with only two or three of them having shitty pasts and Ruruko Nimura having a completely normal life, I think it's a reasonable assumption that most of the reincarnated devils (among the good guy cast) there had good reason to ditch their current lives and become a devil.

Since this is a battle harem light novel, there's a high probability that every character has an atypical home life outside of the main character, with my status as a side character I was greatly worried about the life expectancy of my parents.

The fact that my (somehow) naturally blonde half-Japanese mother has been using the ”Dead Anime Mom Hairstyle” from as far as I can remember is a huge cause for concern. I tried to convince her to try out other hair-styles, but alas, my efforts were in vain.

As ”punishment”, my mother cooked us (my dad when he finally got home from work) my favorite home Curry Katsu Rice, before sending me back to my room for the rest of the evening so that I can't watch TV.

I'm pretty sure she only chose that punishment because she knew that I wasn't interested with most of the stuff being shown this year.

Considering that I had the best grades at school, never gave her any trouble outside of a few ”I had a bad feeling” events, and that she doted on me a lot, I dare say she never punished me for real or would ever think of doing so unless I killed a man and buried him in our garden.

I might need to do just that if the bad things happen on schedule. And by on schedule, I mean before I become old enough to attend Kuoh Academy.

”Hmm, what to do for tonight?” I look through my book and apparatus filled room for ideas on how to train my abilities tonight.
