After Tetsuya bought all the groceries from the supermarket, he then went back to his home. But on the way back home, he saw a shrine and was thinking that he wanted to pray in the shrine since he never prays at this world shrine after he was born in this world and always wanted to try it.

When he goes to the shrine he met a beautiful person who is sweeping around the shrine, she has the appearance of a woman in their 20s and wears a ponytail.

Tetsuya who saw this was shocked and couldn't believe what he saw since he thought that this world is a Nasuverse world, but what he saw in front of him is a character from another anime. Yes, the Woman that he saw in front of him is Himejima Akeno's mother, Himejima Shuri. Tetsuya then remembered what the Goddess says in chapter 1.

~~ FLASHBACK ~~

"Well, since you will be transported into a random world, you will be receiving the strongest system that ever exists." Said the Goddess while puffed out her c.h.e.s.t proudly while smiling.

~~ END OF FLASHBACK ~~

Tetsuya who remembered what happened in chapter 1, decided to calm down and nodded sagely at what just happened in front of him.

Shuri who saw Tetsuya decided to ask him a question.

"Can I help you?" asked Shuri while looking at Tetsuya.

"Yes, I would like to pray in the shrine, but since I don't know how to pray can you teach me Onee-san." Said Tetsuya while having a smile on his face.

"Ara ara, don't worry let Onee-san teach you how to pray in the shrine." Said Shuri while smiling with closed eyes.

After Shuri Teach Tetsuya how to pray, Tetsuya then prays at the shrine.

"Oh, I forgot to ask you this but did you come here all alone? Where are your parents?" Asked Shuri while looking at Tetsuya.

"Yeah about that...".

Tetsuya then explains all the things as to why he was alone and why he came to this shrine.

"I see so that is why you bought all the plastic bags." Said Shuri while looking at Tetsuya plastic bags.

"Yep." Said Tetsuya while looking at Shuri with a smile expression.

"Oh by the way, what is your name? my name is Shuri, you can call me Shuri-onee-san if you like." Said Shuri while looking at Tetsuya with a smile on her face.

"My name is Tetsuya." Said Tetsuya while looking at Shuri.

"If you don't mind, would you like to have lunch with me and my family, at my house." asked Shuri while looking at Tetsuya.

"Sure, I don'mind at all, thanks for the hospitality." Said Tetsuya with a smile on his face.

When Tetsuya enter the shrine, he found a girl that was playing around with some toys. Suddenly when she saw Shuri, she said something that makes Shuri panic.

"Mommy, I found a new toy near mommy door." Said the girl while holding a whip that makes Shuri pale when she sees it.

Tetsuya who saw this is making a deadpan face while looking at Shuri.

"Shuri-san what kind of toy is that?" Asked Tetsuya while pretending to be an 'innocent kid who doesn't know anything' expression while looking at Shuri.

"That is... yes that is a magical girl toy that they sale on the toy store." Said Shuri while looking at Tetsuya with a panic smile on her face.

Shuri then without wasting time asked Akeno a question.

"Akeno... Why is it, nears on mommy doors?" Asked Shuri while looking at the girl.

Yes, the girl who is holding the whip on her hand is Himejima Akeno.

{A/N: Himejima Akeno highschooldxd.fandom.com/wiki/Akeno_Himejima}

"I think when daddy is going off for working the toy is stuck on his foot and then falls off near the door." Said Akeno while looking at Shuri.

When Shuri hears what Akeno said suddenly there was a dark aura around her while muttering something that gives Tetsuya chills in his spine.

"Ara ara... he dares to leave something outside the door, looks like someone getting punish tonight." Muttered Shuri while making a scary face that makes me scared

Thankfully Akeno doesn't notice Shuri making a dark expression, and still focus playing with that *ehem* tool.

'It looks like Baraqiel will get some terrifying punishment after he got home.' think Tetsuya with a wry smile on his face while looking at Shuri.

After some time, Akeno finally realizes there was a boy near her mom. Akeno then asks something to her mother.

"Mommy, who is this person beside you?" Asked Akeno while looking at Tetsuya.

Shuri who is still on her delusion tries to think many ways of punishing Baraqiel suddenly comeback into reality when she heard Akeno.

"Akeno, this is Tetsuya who I met outside the shrine. He looks the same age as you, so why don't you try to befriend him and introduce yourself." Said Shuri with a smile while looking at Akeno.

Akeno then nodded at her mother and put down the toy she found on the tatami floor and walks toward Tetsuya.

"Nice.... to meet you, My name is Himejima Akeno, can you... please be my friend!!" Said Akeno with a shy expression.

"Of course It's my p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to be your friend, my name is Tetsuya, it's nice to meet you too, Akeno-chan." Said Tetsuya with a smile on his face while looking at Akeno.

After the three of them finish eating their lunch, Tetsuya then stands up and say goodbye to both of them.

"Looks like its almost afternoon, Shuri-san I have to go right now." Said Tetsuya while looking at Shuri.

"Yes, be careful on your way home." Said Shuri while looking at Tetsuya with a smiley face.

Before Tetsuya is about to say something, Akeno with a blushed on her face says something to Tetsuya.

"Will you come again tomorrow?" Asked Akeno shyly with a blushed face while looking at Tetsuya's eyes.

When Tetsuya saw Akeno asking him with a blush on her face, his face blush slightly after seeing Akeno who looks so cute when she asked him shyly. Tetsuya then replied with a happy expression.

"Of course, as your friend, I have an obligation to come to your house every day." Said Tetsuya with a happy smile on his face while looking at Akeno.

"Really? Can you promise me?" Said Akeno with a happy face while blushing.

"I promise, I will come playing with you every day." Said Tetsuya while looking at Akeno with a smile on his face.

"Yay, don't go back on your word, okay?" Said Akeno with joy on her face.

"Don't worry I never go back on my word." Said Tetsuya while looking at Akeno.

Shuri who saw this was happy at the interaction that both of them make. Tetsuya then picks up all of his groceries and go outside while looking to both Shuri and Akeno.

"Then Shuri-san, Akeno-chan I will be going back now, take care." Said Tetsuya while waving his hand towards both Shuri and Akeno. Shuri and Akeno also waving both hands at Tetsuya.

Tetsuya then heads back to his home. After he gets back home, Of course, his mother worriedly asks him a question as to why he took a long time to get back home. He then tells her everything except the whip part to his mother.

Anna, who heard the name Shuri, felt that her name sounds very familiar. After a few minutes, suddenly Anna who was sitting in the living room suddenly gets up from her chair then ask a question to her son.

"What is her family name?" asked Anna while looking at Tetsuya with widen eyes.

"She doesn't introduce her family name, but if I'm not wrong Akeno introduces her family name as Himejima." Said Tetsuya while looking at his mother with a confused expression.

After hearing that his mother have an expression of happiness in her face and was about to cry. Tetsuya who saw his mother almost cry try to calm down her.

"What's wrong mom?" asked Tetsuya while looking at her mom worriedly.

"I never thought that the day I would see her again will going to be this kind of encounter, It has to be some kind of fate I guess." Said Anna while started to crying.

Tetsuya who saw his mother crying feels that there is a connection between his mother and Shuri, he decided to try to ask her once again.

"Mom, do you know Shuri-san?" Asked Tetsuya while looking at his mother.

"Yes,*sniffle*she is my best friend that I *sniffle* have lost contact with *sniffle* since 6 years ago." Said Anna while sobbing.

Tetsuya who heard his mother could only have a blank expression in his face, after he could process all of the information that he collected from his mother, he then asked his mother his last question.

"So... that's mean that both of you are an old friend?" Asked Tetsuya while looking at his mother.

"Yes, in fact, both of us is a childhood friend." Said Anna while she already calmed down.

"EHHHHHHH!!!!" Shouted Tetsuya with a Shocked expression on his face.

He was shocked beyond belief and never thought that his mother is friends with Akeno's mother, Himejima Shuri from High School DxD.
