"Hell yeah, I am," he answers full-heartedly. "I am surprised that the supernatural exists, but not to the point that I'll be jumping around screaming 'Holy shit, demons and angels are real!' or something like that. I was even surprised when Gremory-senpai told me that I was a Devil. Hell, I'm even a little nervous about how this 'Devil Servant' thing will work once she explains it to me and Ise-nii after school. But, the way I see it, because of our so-called 'Sacred Gears', I won't be expecting the folks who want us dead to leave us alone. So, now that I'm serving a Devil as a price for wanting my brother to live, I guess I'll have to deal with it."
Koneko stares on at Ginjo. She truly did expect him to flip out over the fact that the supernatural exists, especially since he encountered the Fallen Angels yesterday when a 'rogue' one, according to Raynare, tried to kill him and Issei. But for him to be able to accept what has happened to him…
Koneko found it strange. The fact that Ginjo was able to cope with the discovery of the supernatural existing this quick puzzled the young girl strongly.
"Oh yeah, Koneko-san?"
Koneko snaps out of her thoughts when Ginjo called out to her.
"What is it, Ginjo-kun?"
Koneko's eyes widen slightly when she saw Ginjo scratching the back of his head while looking at her nervously.
"Well, It's just that I remember that you begged Gremory-senpai to save me. Even though Gremory-senpai told me, I want to hear it from you… Are you by any chance..?"
Koneko sighs and nods at him, knowing what he wanted to ask her.
"Yeah, I'm a Devil too, and a servant to Buchou as well."
Ginjo blinked in surprise at her answer. He knew who she was talking about when she said 'Buchou', as Rias was the president of the Occult Research club. Though, it did explain why Koneko talked to Rias that way when she wanted her to help him
"So, how did you become a Devil?"
Koneko flinches at his question. She then looked down with a nervous expression, an expression that didn't go unseen by Ginjo.
"S-Sorry! I don't mean to pry! If you're not ready to tell me, that's perfectly fine. I'm only asking so I can get some sort of idea of what it'll be like to 'serve' Gremory-senpai."
Koneko shakes her head and turns to face Ginjo.
"I became a Devil of my own choice, and I have chosen to become Buchou's servant by my choice. As for the major details…"
Ginjo saw the nervous expression return, so he shook his head at her, surprising his friend.
"That's all you need to tell me. Like I said, you don't have to go further on the matter right away. If you're ready to tell me your story, then I'll be happy to listen. Just remember that, Koneko-san."
Koneko's eyes widen at Ginjo's kindness. When it came to her past, she was too afraid to explain everything to him. But after hearing what he's told her, her mind went at ease. He didn't want her to rush into the details of her past and is willing to wait until she's comfortable with talking about it.
Just hearing those words that tell Koneko that he's a patient man just made her feel more comfortable around Ginjo than she did before. She didn't know why. It just did.
"Ginjo-kun…"
"Oi, Ginjo!"
Ginjo and Koneko shoot their heads towards the classroom door when they heard a male student, who happens to go to their class, call to him. As soon as he got in, other students who attend this class as well show up. Some took their seats, while some, including the boy who called Ginjo by his name, walked up towards him with shocked expressions on their faces.
"What's up with you guys and gals?" Ginjo asks with a raised eyebrow. "Y'all look as if you found out Cthulhu is real."
Koneko rolled her eyes at his joke before one of the students answered.
"Ginjo-kun, we saw your perverted brother walking with Gremory-senpai!" one of the first-year girls told him. "Do you have any idea what's going on?! You're his saner younger brother and you walked with him, so maybe you can tell us!"
"Yeah man," the male first-year who called to him before said. "There's no way he could be able to walk with one of the great Onee-samas!"
Ginjo sighs at the students who wanted to know what was going on and just shrugged his shoulders.
"Hell if I know. All I know was that we were walking the same path. Nothing more, nothing less."
Ginjo sorta lied to the students, and for a good reason too. If he were to tell them about Rias sleeping with his older brother naked, it might damage Rias' reputation because of how the students, mostly the females, don't like Issei all that much.
Some of the students didn't seem to buy what he said, and one of them was about to question Ginjo further. But before they could do that, the school bell rung, signaling the students that it was time to begin class.
"Alright folks, butts in seats!"
The students saw their female teacher, who had red eyes, short gray hair, and wore a suit that looked like a business suit, and immediately went to their seats and got their writing utensils out. Ginjo sighed a quiet breath of relief, but while it paused the students questioning Issei walking with Rias, he had a strong feeling that they'll try again when lunch break rolls in.
Putting that thought aside, Ginjo got out his pencil and began to take the notes his teacher was giving out while keeping in mind about meeting Issei at the roof.
After a long time of taking notes and doing assignments, Ginjo breathed a sigh when he heard the bell signaling for lunch break to begin. As he got up, he checked his bag to see if he had the bento his mother made for him, and he did.
Ginjo then looked at Koneko and saw that she stood up as well.
"Hey, Koneko-san, you wanna eat lunch at the rooftop with me?" Ginjo asked her. Now that he knows that she is a Devil like he and Issei are and that he finds her to be a trustworthy friend, he doesn't mind showing her what he planned to show his brother: his sudden ability to create a blue orb of light from the palms of his hands.
Koneko shook her head, declining his offer.
"I'm eating in the club room."
Ginjo nods at her. While he is slightly disappointed that she couldn't join him, he understood why she wanted to eat there.
"Okay, safe travels."
Koneko nods to him before the two set off to eat lunch, Koneko to the ORC club room, and Ginjo, to the rooftop, where he told Issei to meet him at.
