Highschool DxD: Crawling x Chaos

A/N: I finally managed to get CxC unblocked, and since I grew quite backlog while waiting for it be unlocked you guys get to enjoy daily releases until catches up.

~Yuta Yukimura~

The matter of going to contract was simpler than I had thought, Akeno-senpai created the teleportation circle for me since I did not know how to and they inscribed the Gremory Insignia on me to show that I was in fact a member of the Gremory family.

After that, Akeno-senpai activated the teleportation circle and red washed over me.

...

I felt a slightly dizzying sensation as the magical power washed over me and my body was teleported. As the red light dimmed down I could see where I appeared. And the first thing I thought was...

'Woah, this dude is hardcore.'

It was the room of a true Otaku, manga and anime DvD's lined the shelves of the apartment, posters and figurines were plastered everywhere. And in front of me was a very tall and lanky man wearing glasses with a confused expression.

"Huh? I thought I summoned Koneko-chan, did I make a mistake?"

"Uh, no sir you didn't, Koneko-senpai was busy so I was sent to take this contract in her stead, I am a new devil of the Gremory Family, so I apologize if I make some mistakes." The man sighed and sat down on his office chair while I channelled my inner customer service, my reward scaled with his satisfaction and satan dammit I was getting my tickets.

"Oh well, you are a devil, doesn't that mean you have some special technique? You can start by showing me, I'll see what I want after." I rubbed my chin, I needed to impress my first client. Sand Veil is a no-go for obvious reasons. Neither is Pearl Jam since I am not the best cook.

Disguise it is. This guy was a hardcore Otaku right?

[Rare - Disguise]

"Well, I can disguise anything and anyone perfectly. For example..." I focused my energy and visualising the image in my head instinctively before snapping my fingers, the moment I did so a small puff of clouds exploded from my body as I got disguised.

"Hey, it's me Goku!" Surely, an otaku of his calibre would be impressed by that right? I used Disguise to make myself look exactly like the Goku from this world's version of Dragon Ball called... Drag So-Ball. My disappointment is immeasurable but the bank does not care for disappointment, it wants its payment.

"UOOOOOOOOHHHH!!! Is that Sun Goku from Drag So-Ball!? No way!" The man jumped up from his seat with childish excitement and stars in his eyes. He scrambled all over his desk.

"Picture, let's take a picture! Your disguise technique is definitely amazing! Can you do more of that? Can you do different characters?" It was a bit weird to see a grown man act so eccentric but I nodded.

"Yes, just show me the picture and I can disguise myself or even you as them. So, how about that contract?" The man nodded fiercely while holding his phone and taking pictures of me disguised as Goku.

"Yes definitely! I dare say this is almost even better than having Koneko-chan come! I accept the contract, I will give you the same rate as Koneko-chan don't worry, now can you do Ultra Sayian?" Hearing the words Ultra Sayian hurt my soul but I witheld my cringe as I adjusted my disguise.

Disguise required minimal amounts of Mana to use and did not consume mana to maintain so even a little babyman of a devil like me could use it around 50 times before running out of juice.

"Yep, one 'Ultra Sayian' coming up." Although I loathed the Dragon Ball knockoff my memories of this world watched the show so I could still disguise myself without issue, the designs weren't even that different, I just hated the names since they sat at just the uncanny valley.

But for that ticket, I won't even let out a peep of complaint.

~Yuta Yukimura~

"Woah, that guy really was stacked."

I counted the wad of bills in my hands as I sat on my couch with the first episode of this worlds version of Sword Art Online playing on my TV that I borrowed from Morisawa.

The contract went pretty smoothly, I used [Disguise] to pose as various anime characters and modelled for Morisawa(my contractor's name), although he had stranger requests such as taking a selfie while in my arms while I was posed as Goku.

Eccentricity aside, he was pretty cool, and we talked about the anime in this world afterwards, he even lent me some of the anime DVDs in his collection to me as a bonus. Speaking of, as expected of a guy with that much merch he was moderately loaded.

He handed me a crisp wad of 250,000 Yen, or 2500 dollars for the contract. He paid me double because he was apparently that satisfied with my service. And promised to make a contract with me again.

After my contract was done, since I did not know teleportation magic, I had to manually walk back to Kuoh which sucked and I made sure to show my displeasure as I walked back.

She seemed quite pleased and even proud to see me complete my first contract and dismissed me for the day, even letting me keep the entirety of my contract reward which was a surprise. I thought she would at least take a cut.

I... still did not know what to think about Rias. She did basically enslave me but it was either that or death for me so I can't hold that against her. She acted more like a proud big sister to me than a king, she was attentive and caring, rather than controlling and overbearing.

Hell, when I asked how I could learn more about the underworld and stuff she gave me a new Devilphone connected to the internet and let me do my own research, she said it was a bonus because I did so well on my first contract. She has asked nothing of me so far and given me a fair share.

And I learned about peerages better thanks to the connection to the Devilnet(Do they just slap devil at the beginning of every invention or do humans copy it and just remove the devil part?).

Peerages weren't exactly slavery. First of all, was the social position of a peerage member. Peerage Members aren't treated as second-class devils in society despite what I assumed.

No, peerage members were treated more like how medieval people would treat knights. After all, only High-Class Devil nobles can have peerages, and one of their peerages is their sworn servant and are granted a title, so they are Low-Class Devils, the lowest class of nobles in devil society, like Knights who were the lowest class of noble in a medieval world.

Peerage Members also had rights, granted, they weren't many and they only got rights a hundred years ago thanks to the efforts of the New Satans.

When you compare them to medieval times suddenly peerages become way more understandable.

For all intents and purposes, I was a knight serving a noble in the medieval ages, just without my consent. And just like a Knight in the Middle Ages, I could become a real noble by achieving great things and proving myself.

So, peerages weren't overly horrible other than the expected subservience.

All in all, if I was born in a medieval world my living conditions wouldn't change all that much, I would still be expected to unconditionally obey a king the only difference here was that the king was right next to me.

Urgh, this all hurts. Such a chaotic day this has been. At least, now that I am at home I can enjoy the gacha I have been granted in peace.

I pulled up my notifications that I refrained from checking until I got home just in case.

____________________________

Very nice. It was a good idea to apply myself fully with that guy. I can feel the improvement in my Demonic Power too, since it wasn't great to begin with it was very noticeable. Very good, now let's start with the Bronze Skill ticket.

____________________________

Rolling Bronze Skill Gacha Ticket...

A Common Skill!

[Novice - Hand to Hand Combat]

|Rarity: Common|

You are reasonably talented in hand-to-hand combat. You know how to punch and where to punch and that's enough for most people.

____________________________

I felt my mind change a little as some experience was instantly downloaded in my head. I felt like I knew how to fight, or at least the basics for it. Getting some talent for combat was very nice since I never really fought hand-to-hand before.

Alright, hopefully, that didn't drain all of my luck, now it was time to taste the fruit of my efforts, let's spend that Silver Advantage Ticket, papa needs a new ability.

____________________________

[Uncommon - Regenaration]

|Rarity: Uncommon| |Class: Recovery, Passive|

Allows you to passively slowly regenerate from injuries using mana, the more severe the wound the longer it takes to heal. Regeneration can be accelerated by focusing and spending more mana.

or

[Rare - Cursed Fireball]

|Rarity: Uncommon| |Class: Blaster|

Allows you to conjure a ball of powerful cursed flames, cursed flames deal increased damage against holy enemies. Unlike regular flames, Cursed Flames obey gravity and bounce against any non-organic surface.

____________________________

Hmm, what to pick, what to pick.

Cursed Fireball gives me a pretty good offensive option and since I am a Devil that means that most likely I would have to face heaven since they are almost always evil in a setting like this but...

I already have offensive options in the form of my Cloud Elemental. Regeneration seems more useful overall. It would also eliminate the need for my elemental to guard me in a fight too, not to mention I could exploit it to get quick gains by working out.

I took a moment to flex my bicep and marvel at the lack of muscle there.

Satan knows I need to put on a couple dozen kilograms.

Also, once I get my second ability slot wouldn't Regeneration and Pearl Jam combo together quite well? I could maybe even make regeneration food. Not to mention I feel like it would pair really nicely with my enhanced vitality.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to Regeneration on this one. If I encounter any enemies I can just stand behind Rias or an elemental anyway.

Speaking of elemental...

I should probably summon her to check her out yeah?

I held my hand out and instinctually knew how to summon my familiar, I pulled on a connection inside me and when I did, suddenly in the middle of my house a swirl of clouds appeared before coalescing into a female form.

My mouth was left a little wide as the clouds formed the shape of a very curvy and mature woman made of dark clouds, she opened her eyes and looked at me and tilted her head. Her body had no clothes but at the same time no genitals, her legs below her knees trailed off onto clouds. She also had hair that was made fo swirling clouds that reached down to her waist.

I immediately recognized her, of course, I did. She was the Cloud Elemental from Calamity Mod, though she looked different than what I expected, at least her latest sprite wasn't like that, she looked like her old sprite. Did I need to do something specific to make her ascend or something?

"Can you come closer to me?" I tried to test the level of control I had over my familiar and she understood my intent, moving closer to me at my words without objection. Let's test this a bit more.

"Can you make me a glass of water?" She nodded and languidly grabbed a glass from my cupboard that she shouldn't have known would be there and put her finger above the glass and water poured out of her finger into the glass, filling it up. Then she floated back over to me and gave me the glass with a slightly proud expression. I noticed my Mana trickle down slightly when she created water, interesting.

"This IS safe to drink right?" She nodded and I drank it, it was surprisingly refreshing, like cool spring water. Huh, aren't I drinking girl water now? I don't know if that statement made the taste better or not.

As she floated languidly in front of me a devious idea had intruded into my head and refused to leave.

I gulped.

Well, she was my familiar. She would obey what I asked of her right?

"Can I... touch your boobs?" I asked the elemental in front of me like I was some blushing virgin, which yeah, I was. I felt like one of the perverted trio at the moment but you can't blame a hot-blooded teen who got a sexy cloud elemental for trying all right?

The elemental just smiled and nodded and before my neurons even had a chance to fire my hands reached out toward her breasts and squeezed.

Wow.

It is unpleasantly cold and wet.

It feels exactly like what I thought grabbing rainclouds would feel like.

I withdrew my hands and looked at them while the cloud elemental still smiled and floated languidly behind me.

I don't think there are words good enough to describe my disappointment. If I could turn my disappointment into a ticket it would probably be a Legendary Super Rare.

...Nothing? No dice. Figures the system wouldn't pity me a second time.

Anyway, since I am a night-dwelling creature, doesn't that mean I have plenty of time to play around with my abilities?

Sorry Rias, but it seems like I won't be fixing my sleep schedule anytime soon.

A/N: Yuta completes his first contract, seems like getting some disguise came in handy after all. Contracts are the most reliable way Yuta has for banking tickets, which allows me to create fun contract scenes. Did you guys like this one? I will try to do something unique for any extended contract scene. Who knows, maybe some clients are one-off characters from other series like that one DA omake I made.

Also, Yuta is getting lucky with good rolls. Not like how Hakari started with 4 abilities he hasn't used for 30 chapters. Also, he fell for the classic trap of assuming hentai logic would let him touch his elemental and feel anything other than... y'know, clouds. What did you guys think about this chapter? I'd love to know.
