"A different Japan, huh? This seems like the plot to some really bad light novel..." 

It appeared that although the two could be considered "Japanese", they were of different worlds entirely. Issei remembered reading a manga somewhere explaining there infinite possibility of worlds connected, but he simply imagined that this was a concept beyond normality, rather than an actual fact. Though, he was not one to fret over such details. If anything, he wondered if there were variants of people he knew within the confines of an alternate reality. Though he understood he might not be able to connect himself to his own world, he did have remorse regarding the fact he was not able to see his "president", more accurately his "keeper" and the other members of his peerage. 

A world without devils and angels though? Maybe only a year or so ago he would never have believed that magic, let alone the idea of mythological beings, were something that existed outside of story-telling and the like. However, as he had come to realize after he was reborn as a devil, magic was something that existed, and was hidden from the masses. Devils fighting Angels and Fallen Angels alike, a constant battle for supremacy that only recently had an adequate resolution in regards to sorting games. 

"I also have something similar to a "Magical Weapon"," Issei said, a bright red light shinning from his hand, soon after replaced by a red gauntlet that seemed to resemble a dragon's claw, almost sentient in a way. If Momiji was able to detect magical power before, the presence of such an  artifact might have exerted more "pressure" in regards to magical ability, assuming the former was keen in regards to these sorts of measurements. "In my world, there are those born with these sorts of weapons inside of them called "Sacred Gears [Artifacts of God]", though, I suppose mine is better than most others, one of the Longinus." 

As the name implies, the Longinus are weapons said to be able to kill gods themselves, and are one of a kind compared to the multiple Sacred Gear duplicates one could obtain. The Red Dragon Emperor was one of the strongest of the possible Longinus. 

"It appears we have found ourselves in a similar situation, you and I. I am not sure what sort of dangers might exist in this world, thus I would like to make a proposition of friendship for the time being. After all, there might be dangerous elements within the wind; figured it would be best to stick together. OF course, if you are not interested, I understand, but I do not like the thought of sitting idol while a cute girl such as yourself gets hurt." 

Issei felt as though the two were being watched, though was unable to see any individuals around where he and Momiji were talking. The other might have been hidden, but it might have also been his imagination. Perhaps Momiji had also been privy to the presence in the area; maybe even working together in an ambush with the individual in question. Though, if this was the case, there would have been some sort of degree of malice from either of the parties, which he did not find currently. Thus, he felt it would be best to pronounce a friendship to dissuade any sort of engagement.
