Atsuko DxD Adventures 25

Full Title: Why the Heck was I Reincarnated in DxD without a Cheat Power!?

---

"So, what do you think of the new building?" Atsuko asked Asia and Irina as they looked around the insides of the newly built church. There was one more person with them that Atsuko invited to this outing. 

"It's wonderful, Ms. Atsuko." Asia said in joy, before concern came to her again. "Are you sure you're alright? Being here?" 

"Since we're in a peaceful setting, it's find. " Atsuko waved the small nun off, even thought she was sweating a bit. 

"How did you get it done so fast?" Irina wondered off-handedly. 

"Changing your voice is very easy with magic, and I know how to forge Rias' signature." Atsuko said casually. 

Irina head snapped to Atsuko, her eyes widen in shock, even though she kept telling herself that she wasn't going to be surprised by her childhood friend turned Devil anymore. 

"You did what!? Atsuko, that's wrong! You committed fraud!" Irina cried out. 

"Eh?" Asia looked on worry, before frowning at Atsuko as she understood what Irina meant. "Atsuko, that's bad. You shouldn't do things like that even if it's for something good." 

"...Hehe, Asia can you scold me like that one more time?" Atsuko smiled in an amused, clumsy way. 

"Eh?" Asia tilted her head, while Irina facepalm. 

"Do that, 'Atsuko, that's bad' just one more time." Atsuko raised a finger as she asked. 

Irina double facepalmed. "And now you sound like an old pervert!" 

Asia gathered her resolve and put on her most serious face (pout), put a hand on her waist as she remember her orphanage matron doing when scolding some of the other kids, and pointed a finger up as she leaned forward. 

"Atsuko, fraud is bad!" Asia scolded.

"HNNNG, my heart! This is too cute." Atsuko held a fist over her chest. 

"Can you please stop being an old pervert!? This is serious!" Irina cried out, losing her patience. 

"I've decided," Atsuko continued as if not hearing her childhood friend. "I'm adopting you, I'm getting the papers tomorrow." As she hugged Asia to her chest.

"Eh, EEEH!?" Asia blushed, as she was thrown off her train thought. 

"Would you please stop joking around and confusing poor Asia." Irina sighed. 

"Whose joking around? Also about what you said, is it really fraud if I'm speeding up something that was going to be done anyways?" Atsuko said like she was innocent, and was just being helpful.  

""YES!"" Irina and Asia said. Asia now thankfully getting her bearings again.

"I suppose we'll have to disagree on these philosophical differences." Atsuko said maturely. 

"No, no! You actively committing fraud and stealing your King's money isn't a philosophical difference!" Irina cried out, waving her arms around. "How is it that Rias didn't punish you for this?" 

"The Gremory are loaded." Atsuko said with a nod, before gesturing to the church around them. "It's gonna take them a while to notice this pocket change happened."

"...Huh." Irina froze as she couldn't understand that amount of wealth. 

"Um..." Asia looked around between Irina and Atsuko in confusion. 

Finally the third person in the group Atsuko called ot this place spoke up. 

"Walking the path of justice and purity is a beautiful thing, however it is not one that should be achieved using darkness, no matter the temptation." Said Vera, otherwise known as Magical Girl Kirakira-chan. 

She was part of Mil-tan's magical squad. 

Just like Mil-tan, she was also a very muscular magical girl, but with platinum blonde hair rather than, dirty blonde hair like Mil-tan, after her wish was granted. 

"Eh, I'm a Devil, so by default I'm always gonna be an anti-hero. Sorry, but them's the ropes." Atsuko shrugged, not sounding sorry at all.

"Not with that attitude," Vera said as she flexed her muscles that gleamed in the light. "One must never give up on the Light of Justice!" Light literally shined off her muscles. 

Asia smiled while looking in awe at Vera passion, that literally the Light coming off her aura was Holy from her sheer faith in magical girldom. 

Irina just had a dry look on her face, while Atsuko licked her lips, enjoying looking at Vera's shining abs. 

"Eheheh," Irina let out an exasperated chuckle. "Atsuko," she continued with the sigh. "Thinking about it... Why did you went about getting church build so quickly? And what does Vera-san have to do with it?" She said, not-so-opening asking why did Atsuko invite the magical girl to show her the church. 

"I'm glad you asked!" Atsuko said with a smile as she strided in a direction toward a room off to the side. "Welcome to the praying room!" Atsuko said with a wide grin as she let the group into the large room. 

"...Atsuko I'm already regretting this, but what is all this around here?" Irina asked as she pointed to the magic circle on sheets on the ground along with lots and lots and lots of water bottles, some containers, a filled water tank, and a box in the far end of the room inside a glowing magic circle. "Also, why are there hazmat suits lined up?"

"Okay, so it's like this," Atsuko began, her mischievous grin like a trickster fox. "You know that Rias is going into a Rating Game in a month, we're going to leave school and home for a bit to get to some training. A lot of training. The Magical Muscle Gang is actually going to be helping us train once we get to Rias' family resort isle." Atsuko snapped her fingers, as she pointed out to Vera. 

"I see, so you need me here for something else." Vera crossed one arm under her chest, while holding her chin with her free hand, her eyes focused in thought. 

"Bingo! See these magic circles there?" Atsuko pointed out to the lined up magic circle sheets. "The first two do the same thing allow energy to be concentrated into water, or in the case of nuns or priests, Holy Power, meaning it makes faster and more potent holy water. They also have the option of creating water from moister in the air, or the user's Magical Energy. These two are for Irina and Asia. Don't worry, I'll provide carts of water every single day for you two to bless." She began to explain. 

"We'll help however we can!" Asia said with fierce pouty look of resolve. 

"Asia, let's hear Atsuko out till the end. Trust me, you don't want to commit to anything yet." Irina warned. 

"The other two magic circles are for Vera," Atsuko continued, making the magical girl perk up. "One is to transform water into ice shaped bullets, and the other takes the ice bullet, and makes the rest of cartridge from the user's magic. I asked for your help, Vera, because out of the Magical Muscle Gang, you're the one with Light affinity, and your passion also works as faith. 

"As for the water tank there, same thing as the water bottle, but just leave the water in it. I wanted to ask you to just bless the water in the water tank, and make Holy Ice Bullets. Every single day throughout this month." Said Atsuko. 

"Atsuko you..." Irina looked very with emotion, her head down hiding her expression. Before she looked up and shouted in disbelieve. "YOU TURNED THE LORD'S HOUSE IN A SWEATSHOP! WHAT THE HELL ATSUKO!"

Atsuko laughed out loud at her childhood friend's reaction. 

"What? I'm not asking for much." Grinned the Reincarnated Devil. "Just that while you're here doing your daily prayers, bless me some holy water, that Vera would turn into Holy Ice Bullets. And also what's in the box." 

"I'm also dreading to ask, what's in the box?" Irina said, while messaging her temples. 

"Yeeeah," Atsuko looked to the side trying to appear innocent, while just make Irina glare at her more heavily, while dread seemed to form in bottom of her stomach. "You're gonna need to wear the hazmat suits first. The magic circle under the box is keyed that you can't cross its threshold, unless you're wearing one." Atsuko said, as she went ahead and took one of the hazmat suits wearing it. 

While confused, the other girls followed her lead getting a suit that magically changed to fit them. 

Now dressed for safety, Atsuko went to box with the others following her. 

Atsuko opened the box. 

"!" Irina looked on wide-eyed and stunned. 

Vera blinked a few times, before slowly turning to the Reincarnated Devil to find her 'innocently' smiling, then looked back again into the box. 

Asia looked on in confusion at the small disk in the middle of the box, before taking in the others reaction to try and see what this was about. 

Irina slowly closed the lid of the box, and looked up to contemplate her life. 

"Before you ask, there is no leakage from the box, and when it's open, there's no leakage outside of the magic circle." Atsuko said. 

"Atsuko is that--No, no. Knowing you it definitely is. How!?" Irina pleaded. 

"Transmutation is hell of a thing. I really don't see how it's that complicated when we have the periodic table and the chemical equations for it. Just get some dirt and bam, it's done. Of course, it's not as easy as I make it sound since I had to consult others and so on, but creating it isn't really all that difficult. Just time consuming." Atsuko explained. 

"Why!?" Irina cried out. "Even if you have a Rating Game, I'm pretty damn sure they're not gonna let out have this." 

Atsuko grinned savagely. 

"Yeah, here's the thing." The Reincarnated Bishop Devil began. "You're allowed equipment into the Rating Game if you can carry it, that's what all of the other stuff for. This?" She pointed at the box. "Something I discovered when drilling Rias about the Rating Games, did you know the pocket dimension they make the matches in is normally void and empty on standby? 

"So how do they create the places for the matches you might ask? Why, they just scan a place in the real world, be it the Underworld or the Human World, to copy it and paste it wholesale. If they need to make something custom, they still need something real to build off of then mix and match." Atsuko's grin was downright villainous. "Of course they won't accept this as 'equipment'." 

"You're going to sneak it in?" Irina asked bug-eyed. 

"I don't have to sneak it in." Atsuko said holding back a laugh. "The battleground is already chosen to be Kuoh Academy. I just need you all to bless the shit out of this to heaven and back, hide it in the academy, and the Rating Game organizers will sneak it in for me. Hehehe, hahahaha--" Atsuko began to laugh like a maniac.

"Atsuko," Asia spoke up, holding up a finger like a teacher. "No evil laugh, or no dinner today, missy." 

Atsuko coughed and composed herself right away.

"Right, sorry, I'll behave." 

"Wait," Vera spoke up. "But if they only copy the location to make the match stage, what happens to this? Won't it still be here?" 

"Yeah, I already have spells in the box to turn itself and everything in it into salt a few hours after the Rating Game begins." Atsuko waved them off, as she moved away from the magic circles to take off her suits, with the others following her. 

"I say we activate the salting spell right now. Atsuko this is beyond a joke, it's too dangerous." Irina warned. 

"Irina," Atsuko's tone turned serious, making the Exorcist stop and listen. "Right now, Rias is going into a fight for her freedom from an arrogant technically immortal regenerating devil. And I don't want to end up as part of sex slave group in the Underworld." 

""What!"" The two church girls and magical girls cried out. 

 "Okay, maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration. Riser probably isn't as much of an asshole as he portrays himself to be, I just don't care." Atsuko's eyes lit up with enraged determination. "I want to win. I will win against him. High Class Devil, broken OP regeneration, whatever. I don't care. I want to will and I will use every mean I can find." Atsuko grabbed Irina by the waist and hugged her tightly against her body, making Irina let out a squeak in surprise. 

Asia and Vera looked on, red faced in surprise, covering their eyes with her hands, yet looking between the gaps of their fingers.   

"A-Atsuko!" Irina cried out in surprise, having a whole body blush. She felt so hot, she feared she might pass out.  

"I'm telling you all of this, leaving all of this in your hands because I trust you. I need you, Iri-chan, please help me." Atsuko said quietly.

"O-O-Okay, fine!" Irina looked to the side, not meeting Atsuko's eyes. "But we're getting rid of that, the second your Rating Game starts." 

"Of course!" Atsuko grinned happily. 

"Alright... When are you gonna let go of me?" 

Atsuko lower her hands, and cupped Irina's butt cheeks. 

"I don't wanna."

Squeeze, squeeze.

SLAP!
