DxD: Milking System

Chapter 16: A Small Mistake

Arriving at home, Jin immediately went to his room and jumped on the bed. He didn't even bother to take dinner and said that he had already filled his stomach on the way home.

Of course, he didn't forget to put a band-aid on the wound at his check. He stopped at the convenience store to buy it. Heck, he even took a rather long route because he didn't want the madman to track him to his house.

Thankfully, the madman who called himself Freed Sellzen didn't follow him. Either the madman didn't even bother to look for Jin and took the sword back, or he didn't really care about him.

When Jin arrived at his home, he noticed that Issei had yet to arrive home, possibly still taking Katase to her home as he instructed him to. Maybe his brother would make a move? But considering that idiot brother, Jin knew that the hope was slim.

He looked at the light sword handle he had taken from the madman that attacked him earlier.

"How do I use it?"

Turning around his hand, he tried to find something like a button. Maybe it worked like a toy sword where the blade could pop out when the button was pressed? Who knew? But Jin tried everything nonetheless.

However, after turning it around in his hand, Jin couldn't find even a single button. He even peered at the hole at the top of the handle where the light sword popped out but still found nothing.

'There is no button. Does it react to touch after all?'

Then he explored the handle and touched all parts of it. Alas, it was useless. He then tried everything he could think of, but the light sword nonetheless didn't respond to him.

"Well, the answer is clear then."

Jin got out of his bed and stood in front of the mirror while holding the handle with both hands.

He had tried almost all possibilities, leaving only one thing that he had yet to try. He remembered what Freed did when he used the light sword earlier.

If he were so wrong, then this would be his embarrassment for life.

"Here goes nothing."

After thinking for a while, he arrived at an answer as to why he couldn't find any button or a trigger to make the light sword work. Magic.

Yes. He finally arrived at such a conclusion after remembering what the man did. Freed somehow could trigger the blade of the light sword just by holding it.

If there was no button or some sort of trigger, then the answer was definitely Magic. Freed used Magic to trigger the light sword.

Now then. Jin was a normal person until he regained his memories and got the gift that Lady Luna promised him. Never in his life did he use something like Magic. Joke aside, he only noticed the existence of the Supernatural when he read the System's note.

So, he could only experiment with it.

And the only thing he knew about Magic was it used something called Magic Power or Magic Energy or Mana, whatever it was called.

Of course, the only source of his information about Magic was an anime called Magical Girl Milky Spiral that was aired on TV a few years ago, and he watched it with his brother and their childhood friend.

The show was already long ago. The only thing he remembered was they screamed when they used Magic.

"Ooohhh!!"

His scream echoed in his room. Fortunately, his brother was away, or he would be a laughing stock for now.

However, the light sword still didn't budge. The blade refused to pop out.

Giving up, Jin looked at his reflection in the mirror.

"I looked stupid."

At that moment, the door of his room was slammed open, and his brother shouted worriedly

"Nii-san! What's wrong?! Are you ok"

Issei couldn't finish his sentence, though. His gaze darted into Jin, then to the sword handle without blade in his hands, before turning to Jin again.

Next, he smiled wryly while scratching his cheek.

"Uh Have fun?" He said before closing the door and running down the stairs. His footsteps were loud, so Jin knew that his brother had partially run back toward the living room.

Embarrassment quickly flushed over Jin. Apparently, his brother had returned and heard him shouting like a child. With a sword in his hand and his position in front of a mirror, Issei must've thought that he was posing like most teenagers.

"Shit" He could only let out a low mutter of the curse before facepalming.

***

The next day, Jin had breakfast like usual and went to school with Issei. When they were walking together, Issei laughed hard at Jin, remembering what he did yesterday.

"Really I never expected you of all people to do that, Nii-san."

Issei teased Jin while holding his stomach. He had laughed too much, knowing that Jin, his perfect brother, had a hidden side of him.

"As I said, just forget about that. I already explained what happened last night, didn't I?"

"Yeah yeah, you are only trying to imitate the Kendo movement. I already understand that, but still pfft!"

Issei put his hand on his mouth, trying to stop from bursting into laughter but failed. It came out loudly. The people around looked at him strangely.

Jin felt embarrassed being teased by his brother.

'Damn, Issei. I thought he was going to stay with Katase a bit longer, but he came back just right after?! I swear I will get back at him later."

Though it was his own fault for shouting inside the house, he still blamed his brother for it. To make sure that no evidence was left, he even brought the handle of the light sword with him in his bag.

"Enough of that." Jin said seriously. "How was Katase yesterday? Did you perhaps score another girl?" He smirked.

"Hah?!" Issei raised his voice in response. "Nii-san You What are you talking about?"

"Obviously, you and Katase. What? You didn't even kiss her?"

"Of course not!"

Shouting loudly, Issei looked at Jin as if he was crazy.

"Are you telling me to kiss a girl who always looked down on me? But wait I didn't feel that gaze anymore when I defeated her. Huh? Hey, tell me, Nii-san"

Somehow, without Jin telling him, Issei could feel that something was unusual.

Usually, Jin would never have Issei go out with any girl, fearing his perverted behavior. But yesterday, he asked Issei to accompany Katase home.

So, even if Issei was dumb, he noticed something off.

"Are you telling me that Katase is attracted to me now?" He asked. Disbelief was clear in his expression.

"Yes." Jin answered shortly with a smirk. "You didn't even notice that? What a dumb brother."

With those words, Jin left Issei and walked faster.

Issei stood frozen in the middle of the street for a while before snapping out of his thoughts and running to catch up to Jin.

"H-HEY! Wait for me, Nii-san!"

Jin somehow diverted the conversation to Katase after being teased for a while because of his mistake. He was the one who made fun of Issei now.

After a few minutes, they arrived at the front gate. Jin noticed that Sona was greeting the students as usual.

When she saw him, her smile dropped from her face. But as a student council president, she had a grasp on her expression. Her smile immediately returned to her face.

"Good morning, Hyoudou-kun. Jin-kun."

"Good morning, Kaichou."

"G-Good morning"

Jin answered the greeting calmly, but Issei seemed to be a bit terrified of Sona.

Ignoring Issei, Sona looked straight at Jin.

"I will be waiting for you later in the student council room. Please come after school."

"Alright. I am looking forward to it. Are you looking forward to it too, Kaichou?"

"Yes and no. But a bet is a bet, so I will not run away from it."

"What a surprise. Alright, see you later."

"See you later."

Their conversation only lasted shortly before Jin walked to the school's main building. Issei couldn't understand what had happened, but he somehow could guess what had happened.

"Nii-san Could it be even one of the Three Great Onee-sama?!" He was beyond surprised, even excited.

Jin smirked at his brother, proud of his victory.

"Who do you think your brother is, Issei?"

"Woah! Let me call you master! Teach me how to be like you, Nii-san. Do you have any secrets?"

"That's easy. Do you want to hear what my secret is?"

"Of course!"

"Hear this closely" Jin paused a little, creating a dramatic atmosphere.

His brother gulped in anticipation as he muttered, "That is"

"Be handsome." Jin continued before laughing loudly at the blank expression of his brother.

Why the heck would he tell his brother about his secret when all his little twin brother did was tease him when he made a small mistake?

Before Issei apologized, Jin swore he wouldn't help him even a little. His small revenge was dumb but still a sweet little victory for him. Oh, how sweet a victory was.
