297Author's Notes:
This will be a series of Omakes and Side Stories to my main story 'Devil Arts Online'.
In here I will put both silly ideas that couldn't make it into the main story but where too funny to completely pass up and side stories that while not directly affecting the main story would give it more depth.
I'm open to suggestions regarding this one, meaning that if you have an idea for an Omake or side story that you would like to read, send it to me either through a review or PM and if I believe it's doable I will notify you and put it into a list to work on it when I have the time.
I already have a few ideas for this compilation, like: Justice and Love Shall Always Win, a side story depicting Mil-tan's adventures in ALO; Familiar Mayhem, that will be a series of Omakes about possible familiars that could have appeared on chapter seven; and PMH (Psycho Mother Hen), another side story that will portrait Argo's situation as she attempted to escape her overprotective mother well intentioned house arrest as she tried to reach the human world to recruit Kirito and Asuna during the canon Fairy Dance arc.
A fair warning, this will have irregular updates since I'll remain focusing on the main story. Unlike DAO that has monthly updates I'll update this as the chapters get ready, meaning the time between chapters will vary and be dependent of circumstances.
Lastly: I do not own either "HighSchool DxD" or "SwordArtOnline"
Justice and Love Shall Always Win
"The time has come-nyou!" The excited shout came from the closed windows of an apparently ordinary house, bright pink curtains blocking its interior from the outside world.
Inside a disturbingly pink room, filled to the brim with all forms of limited edition merchandise from dozen of magical-girls series, stood an impressive sight.
A massive form towered in the center of the room, arms with muscles that could crush rocks, large fists that looked capable of slaying tigers with a single punch and bulging muscles that could probably stop bullets completed the figure intimidating appearance…
Alongside a neon pink tutu, a formfitting white shirt far too small for her size, knee length white boots, white elbow long gloves with pink highlights and a cute pink ribbon atop the figures black hair.
"Despite all past attempts, the doubt and denial granted to my dream from gods and angels, spirits and magicians alike, Mil-tan will not be defeated-nyou!"
The figure said twirling in place before clasping her hands together and raising them towards her heart, sparks shining on the background as she completed the pose.
None had accepted her dream, saying it was impossible, that it simply could not be done, that it was a violation to the very rules of the universe!
But she refused to accept defeat, her dream would come true! She knew it in the depths of her very soul! For it was the path of justice and love!
She had previously done something she still had some doubts about; contacting what should be one of her sworn enemies in order to accomplish her wish. But she couldn't deny that the enthusiasm the young Devil had shown upon meeting her and hearing her wish was extremely promising.
Why, the speed at which he had left her home showed he couldn't wait to start researching for a way to complete her wish! It filled her heart with hope to see such a hardworking young man, even if he was a Devil.
'Enough time has passed-nyou; it is time to see how my new friend is doing on the quest to allow me to thrive on my chosen path-nyou!' She thought raising a small pamphlet depicting a magical circle on its center. 'Destiny awaits-nyou! To fight off evil and injustice! To be a guardian of love and happiness! To be a magical-girl-nyou!'
From the spot on the door she watched as a crimson light filled the entire room, two figures appearing from amidst the magical-circle that had appeared on the floor.
Her new Devil friend had answered to her summons being accompanied by a new face, probably someone he had chosen to aid him in the task at hand, the possibility that her wish was about to be granted filling her eyes with hope.
"Issei-kun I'm so happy to see you again-nyou." Mil-tan cheerfully exclaimed, a sparkly look in her eyes and holding both hands clasped near her heart and one leg raised in a classical magical girl pose. "Mil-tan is so glad you could come-nyou."
She watched as Issei and his companion looked at her, a brief look of surprise quickly passing through the latter's face before being quickly replaced by a serene smile, while Issei keep staring straight at her with unblinking eyes, his mouth slightly open as if in shock.
"We will have such a marvelous time together-nyou." She exclaimed as the sparkles reappeared on the background.
Upon hearing her words Issei's mouth opened completely as if releasing a silent scream originating from the very depths of his soul, before crumbling to the floor hugging his knees.
'Issei-kun is so excitable-nyou.' She cheerfully thought, looking from her friend to his companion slightly worried expression as he watched Issei irresponsive form.
"So your wish is to be turned into a magical-girl?" Kirito asked, calmly watching the strange client in front of him.
He would admit he was slightly worried about Issei current situation, as his fellow Peerage member had yet to move from his spot on the floor, but he had an assignment to do, later he would see what was wrong with him, for now he would focus in the reason he was here.
"Exactly-nyou!" Mil-tan cheerfully exclaimed while twirling in place. "For fighting for love and justice is Mil-tan's destiny-nyou!"
"Very well, just let me check the price of your wish." He calmly replied while opening his phone, starting the wish app Rias had showed him earlier only half paying attention to the client's antics, he had seen far stranger things during his time in SAO after-all.
"It seems the price for your wish is your life and soul…" Kirito remorsefully explained, even if the price really didn't surprise him that much, it probably would have to break a lot of natural laws to be granted after-all.
"It can't be-nyou!" Mil-tan screamed falling to her knees with her arms crossed before her chest in apparent despair. "Mil-tan has to be a magical-girl-nyou!" She shouted as she appeared to be getting ready to cry.
Using his experience with dealing with strange, unusual and disturbing sights he had acquired on floor sixth six of SAO Kirito ignored the client's antics as he searched for a solution to the problem at hand, even if his brain stubbornly kept drawing parallels between the client and some of the monsters from the floor the Clearers had aptly named 'Pink Hell'.
Fighting down a shudder at some of the more traumatic memories from that particular floor he focused on the problem at hand.
The price was incompatible with what the client was willing to pay for the wish; normally that would mean the quest would automatically fail. But Rias had granted this quest for him as a way to check his skills and abilities, he would not let her down after saving Asuna and he simply refused to fail his very first quest upon turning into a Devil.
As he searched for an answer an odd idea occurred to him. Mil-tan desired with all her being to be a magical-girl, to the point that reality had little impact on her life.
'It's almost as if she is LARPing, only that for what I can tell she has almost no knowledge about video games.' He thought looking at the costume she was wearing with absolute normalcy. 'There is no way to grant her wish in this reality, but what about in virtual reality?'
As soon as the thought crossed his mind he typed the altered wish into the app, the far more normal price making a small smile appear on his face.
"Mil-tan, I believe it's possible for us to reach a compromise that will allow you to be one step closer to your dream." He calmly said, only his years of dealing with surprise attacks allowing him to retain his calm when Mil-tan appeared right in front of him in a sudden burst of speed, her eyes literally sparkling with hope.
"What is it-nyou?" She asked holding his hands with her own in a steel grip.
"What do you know about AmuSpheres and VRMMRPGs?" He calmly asked, idly noting that if it wasn't for his [Rook] strength his hands would probably be broken by this point due to the strength of her grip.
Mil-tan carefully looked at the small tiara like helmet Kirito-kun had provided her.
While she hadn't fully understood all the things he had said about it the bare bones were extremely clear and filled her with hope.
The object would allow her to enter into a dream world where she would finally be a magical-girl! A world where she could fight evil with the power of love! A world where she could finally fulfill her destiny!
"Beware evil doers! The time of destiny is upon us-nyou!" She said raising the helmet in the air as if it was a priceless treasure, sparks enveloping the background.
"Mil-tan shall achieve her goal no matter what, for justice and love shall always win-nyou!" She declared, putting the helmet on and laying down into her pink bed.
"Link start-nyou!"
And so began the adventures of Magical-girl Mil-tan on Alfheim.
This silly little idea lodged itself in my mind in chapter two and blossomed when Mil-tan reapered in chapter eight, and now it's finally taking form.
This side story will follow magical-girl Mil-tan adventures and misadventures on the world of Alfheim. Her quest and interactions with that world and its inhabitants eventually leading to meeting characters from the original SAO novels, like Lady Sakuya and General Eugene.
Hope you enjoyed this little piece, please review before leaving.
