A week had gone by and he was rather surprised it had passed that quickly.
Asia had taken his advice to heart, and when he next saw her again she was up and about, completely healthy, though now a devil instead of a human. He was honestly happy for her. From what little information he could glean from Rias and from the story Asia herself had told him when he sat next to her bed, the girl deserved a second chance. He was considerably less happy though, about the way she treated him after her recovery. The girl had taken to calling him "Angel-san", no doubt in reference to that afternoon he had spent at her side, explaining what he had done and the reason he had done it. It made him wish he had not laid it in so thick, with all the descriptions of the Heavens and the Light and whatnot. He should have omitted some of the more glaring bits of information, and he occasionally kicked himself for not doing so. But then he remembered the suffering the former priestess had gone through, the lies that had been her past life, and the thought of deceiving her was abruptly squashed. She, of all people, deserved to know the truth, and a little discomfort on his part was a sacrifice he was willing to put up with.
Still, it was rather jarring to be walking in the hallway and have a girl suddenly proclaim you as a messenger of Heaven. It brought stares, and not the good kind. So he had taken the girl aside one day and explained to her why calling him an angel in crowded classrooms and busy hallways was not exactly a good idea.
It had gone spectacularly well. And also failed miserably.
