I see i have porblem with harem now.
Here about the harem. You can ask anyone but the person who will enter Kai harem must be at least has sharp mind or has faith on him
I already has plan for Kai in future and how he will get strong
But about Jutsu list i still don't know. Please help me on Jutsu list. You guys can see his technique on chapter 8
Let begin the story!
Chapter 9. Holy Sword
Kai POV
"Kai. What are you doing?" Nii-san asked me
"Train on Telekinesis Nii-san" I said as i focused to levitate several my holy swords and make them flying around
Currently i was on backyard with 5 Kage Bunshin and put some barrier that no one except devil able to see me. It was middle of night, Nii-san just got home from his job as devil
Me and my clones, each of us levitate 5 sword and make them clash against each other. I train using this since i able to learn magic from Le Fay. I maybe can't levitate car but thing like sword still easy for me
I realise if i able to strengthen my mind on Telekinesis it will help so much like Erza from Fairy Tail. I can control my blade and it was good since i realise Blade Blacksmith almost like Erza Heaven Wheel Armor
"Eh? You can do that?" He asked in surprise and i only nodded since i need to concentrate
"Am i disturbing you now?" He asked again and suddenly one of my sword fall and stab to random place.. Unfortunately for Nii-san it stab only few inch from his legs. He gulped a little and laugh sheepishly
"I-I-I take it as a yes! Anyway! Sleep fast. We have school tomorrow!" Nii-san said quickly and turn back to home while i only smirked before continue my training
Next day
"Err.. What's wrong Kai? You seems not in good mood" Aika speak nervously to me who only give her long and hard look
"I wish to speak the matter about "take bath together" to Asia" I said in monotone
"Ah! About that! Errr what is wrong with that! Don't you know Asia l-"
"I know what you mean but currently i'm not interested on romantic relationship... This is your last warning Aika-san if you continue your stupidity there will be consenquences" I said in cold tone "And i make sure it will be very... Pleasant to see by Perverted Trio" I added and i can see she shudder
"O-Okay! G-Geez! Not need to be like that!" She protested but i give her another look "Alright fine! But it won't make me stop to made you show more emotion!"
"Hn!" I grunted before turn to leave
"That really scary.." Aika murmured when Kai out of sight
I made my way to go to Occult Research Club. Asia and Nii-san already go there first.
I then open the door and see there are Student Council member in there
"Sona-kaichou..." I greet with bow to her
"Hello Kai. Why you late?" Sona asked me
"Apparently some woman try to corrupt Asia mind... And i have to give her a proper lesson" I said in cold tone and i can see everyone shivered at my tone
"K-Kai-san! Y-You didn't do anything harsh aren't you?" Asia asked me
"No.. I give her one warning.. If she do that again..." I merely pull out pen and throw it to the wall. Make it buried in wall just like when i throw it to Raiser Queen "There will be consequences..."
"H-Hey! Your brother is scary.." Saji whispered to Ise
"Sometime he can be childish but don't you dare to disturb his precious thing..." Ise whispered back to Saji
"I take it you just introduce yourself to Nii-san correct?" I asked to Sona who nodded in reply "Good. And by the way. The paperwork you give to me already done" I said as i pull out dozens of paperwork from my bag
"You done already?" She asked in surprise tone and i nodded
"Yes. By the way. Aren't you going to participate in Ball tournament later?" I asked her as Saji pick the paperworks from me
"Yes. And i hear you going to participate in Basketball game later? Is that true?" She asked me and i nodded
"Yes. Tomorrow.. The match will be held tomorrow after your game if i recall" I said. I like Basketball and since i quite good. I play some team. The game was 3 on 3. I already pick 2 person who will become my team
I then stare at Kiba. He seems thinking about something.. I can tell he spread out aura that clearly speak "Stay away from me, i'm not in mood"
I sighed a bit. If i recall our next enemy will be Kokabiel later.. I sure we can survive.. After all Vali will come and beat him later.. We only need to stall him..
"KYAAAAA!" A girl screamed
"KAI-SAMA!"
"GO BEAT THEM!"
I drove the ball while dodge player from other team that try to steal the ball. I see 2 of my team are waiting outside 3-point zone
I notice the enemy player in front of me. I quickly throw my ball to my friend without turn around and immediately jump
At the same time my friend who just got the ball shoot it and the ball didn't fall to the hoop instead it bouncing out
Fortunately i know this will happen and i jump in time then grab the ball and dunk it
I landed on my feet and my opponent glare to me while i only grunted and passing them
"Hey nice one Kai!" My teammate grin to me
"Yeah. And nice to know you caught my eye contact before" I said and he chuckle
"Hey! Don't think this is over. We still have 3 minute!" My other teammate warned us
"Right" I nodded before the game continued
I guarding one on one. I can tell their mental now is drop low. Only 3 minute left and our difference score are 4 ball
I snap out from my mind when i see the ball is passed to the player in front of me. I immediately lower my stance and on guard
He seems try to find opening as he dribble the ball while glancing to all direction. But my eyes not following him. I only see the ball
I can tell from his movement he will pass the ball since he won't take a risk to shoot or drove through me
His hand twitched and he about to pass the ball NOW!
I quickly slap the ball away from his hand and quickly take the ball then pass it to my friend who outside before i run to the hoop
My friend throw the ball toward the hoop and i jump then take the ball and dunk it once again
Another score for us!
"KKYAAAAA!"
"KAI-SAMA SO COOL!"
"MARRY ME!"
And another scream from fangrils...
Its a rain...
The tournament end with my team as the winner. Currently i'm on my way to home now. I decide to go home after tournament since i didn't have thing to do
Sona-sempai busy with the result of tournament while Rias-sempai seems have her own problem with Kiba
Its not like i didn't want to help Kiba however if i do something rash i afraid i will change something... Its better if i don't involved until the battle with Kokabiel.. If i do anything strange i afraid Kokabiel will fasted his plan
And fight with Kokabiel is not Rating Game.. Its a serious one
When i walk i notice something wrong around me.. The aura near here.. It filled with holy and also killing intent!
I didn't bring my Katana today.. Well what for my Sacred Gear then?
I pull back my umbrella and slip it to the bag then create 2 Holy Sword. One is Ice while the other one is Lightning. I dashed to the direction where i felt the holy aura
When i arrive i see one man fighting two people. And around them is dead body. I can see the one man seems on advantage and manage to cut down the other one!
He will kill the last!
I act quickly and dashed then block the attack
"What?! What the hell?!"
That voice!
"Freed Zelzan" I snarled and push him away before glance to the priest behind me "You okay father?"
"Y-Yes! W-Who are you?" The last priest who hurt asked me with shaking tone
"It can be talked later! Father i didn't mean to interrupt but you have to leave now. At your condition no doubt you will become burden" I said in monotone
"Bu-"
"I won't let you escape!" Freed growled and dashed. I also dashed and block his attack but my eyes widened slightly. There are crack on my sword
"NOW!" I yelled to him without turn around and push Freed away. I can tell the priest behind me seems shaking but slowly nodded
"May God Bless you Son" He said as he leave
Freed seeing this scowled like someone just kick his puppy
"You! You dare to stand in my way and my prey! I will make sure Excalibur-chan will have your blood before i skin you alive" He grinned manically to me
"Come and try.. Trash" I said in cold tone as my eyes turn into crimson with 3 black tomoe
"Eh? Wait you looks just alike Ise-kun! Ah! I remember you must be his twin brother! Ah what lovely meeting! I can't wait to skin you then send your body to Ise-kun!" He said insanely
"The only one who going to get skinned is you. Now come trash" I taunted
"Ahahahaha!" He laughed before lunged his sword to me. I merely rise my sword and stay on guard
I can see his movement with Sharingan veeery clear however.. My sword won't be able to take hit from his Excalibur.. If it so then
I stab my Holy Lightning sword to the ground and a spark of lightning start to appear on edge of my sword before it launched to Freed
Freed eyes widened in surprise, he skidded in ground and manage to stop his track before got hit by the lightning
I quickly create 3 swords and make it float before all of it point to Freed
With single move of my hands the 3 sword fly to Freed. Freed clicked his tongue before he parry them all using Excalibur and i notice his movement seems influenced by something
"Hahaha! Nice trick! But that still won't be able to match my Excalibur Rapid-chan" He smirked and i narrowed my eyes. Excalibur Rapid huh? The one who grant the wielder massive speed
"Is that so huh? Well that only 3. How about 6?!" I create 6 sword and throw it to Freed who grinned and parry them again
"Ha! It useless you idiot! Don't you-GUGH!" He didn't able to finish his word since my feet planted on his face and send him away, blood gush out from his nose and i make 3 sword before launch it to him again
Freed manage to balance himself and not fall. But he quickly rise his Excalibur and parry my sword, however one of them manage to pierce his leg
"GGAGGH! WHY YOU SHITTY TRASH!" He screamed in pain and growl to me. I about to finish him until
"Kai-kun!"
I turn and see Kiba approaching me with his sword ready
"Kiba? Why you here?" I asked clearly surprised
"I... Can we talk later? We have something to take care of first" Kiba said with bitter voice something that i notice. I narrowed my eyes but still nodded. He then glance to Freed who just remove sword that stab his leg
"Excalibur..." He spat the word as if it was bane of every living being "To think i will found it in here..." Kiba said in cold voice
"Kiba.. I don't know what your relation with that sword but don't act rash... His sword is dangerous. Single slash of it able to destroy my sword that mean it will do same to yours" I said in stern tone
"Don't worry... I won't act rash" He replied with cold tone something that make me doubt his word. He then dashed to Freed and start to slash him! Wait! You can't fight like that!
Freed seeing this clicked his tongue and parry Kiba sword
"Che! Another one! Ah now i remember you are Ise-kun friend! Ahh what a wonderful reunion! I'm so happy that I'm going to shed some tears because of my reunion with you!" Freed said with showing insane smile. Kiba didn't bother he merely presh his sword to Excalibur. Crap! If he do that!
A crack made in Kiba's sword make Kiba eyes widened. Damn! I dashed and pull Kiba away just in time when Freed Excalibur shatter Kiba's sword and about to slash him
"Kiba! That was stupid movement! Don't you hear my warning before?!" I yelled to him but he seems ignore it. Damn! Is Excalibur really make your mind that blind?!
Kiba brush my hand off and dashed to Freed again! This idiot! Kiba about to slash Freed again but he jump and dodge it
"As much i want to slice you two now but i have to leave. I already wasted too much time. My boss will be angru! Hahaha! Ja Ne!"
"Wait!" Kiba yelled but Freed pull out some ball then throw it to the ground. A light appear from it and blinded us
When the light gone Freed was nowhere to see. Kiba clench his fist tigthly until it white. I can see his anger but that's not the case now!
I grab his shirt then pin him to the wall
"Explain why you try to get yourself killed" My voice is cold without emotion
"That's.. None of your business.. Let me go Kai-kun" Kkiba replied with same cold voice
"Oh. It is my business. You are friend of Nii-san and Asia. Your enemy are their enemy. If they want to get you wouldn't it be best if they target tour current comrade?" I asked in more cold tone and my eyes spin slowly
Kiba hearing my words seems surprised and flinch. It clear on his expression that he didn't even think about that. I remove my hand from him and give him glare
"Ever since you become Devil. Your problem is not yours problem alone anymore... It will come to your entire comrade..." I said coolly "You are my friend Kiba.. And i care about you however if Nii-san or Asia get hurt because your reckless action..." I turn around to leave but not before give hm glare over my shoulder with my eyes turn into Mangekyou
"I will make you see your worst nightmare" I said dangerous tone and cold
I arrive in house with my entire body wet because of rain
"I'm home!" I yelled as i remove my shoes and socks
"Welcome home Kai! Oh my why you wet like that?!" I heard Mom voice from behind me but i still busy removing my shoes
"My umbrella is broken so i don't have choice other than run directly to the house" I lied
"You will caught cold. Why don't take a bath first?" Mom offered and i nodded
"It will be pleasant" I replied before i go to bath
"Kai!" Nii-san voice called me make me turn to him
"Yes?" I asked
"After you taking bath can you come on my room? Buchou want to talk about Kiba behavior" He said
"Ah. Yes i also notice something strange on him. I saw him walking without umbrella before" I said and he blinked
"Is that so..." He murmured
"Well i will take bath first then" I said and go to bathroom
Ise POV
"Holy-sword Project?"
Buchou nodded at my words.
"Yes. Yuuto is a survivor of that project."
Asia, Buchou, and I returned to my house after we finished our club activities. Buchou and Asia came into my room, soon after that Kai who just got home and take bath also came. After confirming everyone present Buchou had started to tell us about Kiba.
"There was a project several years ago inside the Christian Church that aimed to make those who can wield the holy-sword Excalibur."
"…This is my first time hearing this."
Asia didn't know about this project. Well a secret project like this won't reach the ears of the girl who was praised as the holy-maiden.
"I ever hear about those before.."
Kai says while stroke his chin
"Eh? Where you hear it?"
"When i training with Jin-sensei. That time he told me about Holy Sword. You was absence that time if i recall. I was learning about various sword and he mention about Holy Sword then to it project. Apparently it was project to make someone able to wield Holy Sword but that's all he knew"
A project to make someone able to wield Holy Sword? Isn't it kind of dangerous for us then?
"What Kai said it right. Holy-swords are the ultimate weapons against devils. If we, the devils, touch the holy sword then we will burn ourselves. If we get cut by it, then we will be terminated without a trace. It could be called the ultimate weapon for those who believe in God and see devils as an enemy."
Holy-sword… It's those things that also come up in games and light novels, right? I'm a devil so it would be the most dangerous weapon for me as well.. Even when i hold one from Kai Sacred Gear it giving me chill
"Even though there are numerous holy-swords originating from all over the world, I still think the most famous one would be Excalibur. Even in Japan, it comes up in many books. It's a holy weapon that is created through means of magic and alchemy by those who reach the territory of God. But holy-swords choose their wielders. I hear that only one person in a decade or so gets chosen."
"Kiba is a Sacred Gear possessor that can create demonic-swords, right? Just like Kai then but the difference he create holy-swords. Isn't those sword already enough?" I asked
"It's still not enough if you compare Kai holy-swords to the holy-swords that already exist, it is kind of lacking. Of course I'm not saying it's weak. Among them there is a sacred utensil included in the "Longinus", just like your "Boosted Gear". The most famous is the Sacred Gear that was wielded by the person who killed Jesus Christ, the "True Longinus". It's also said that the name "Longinus" was derived from it."
Longinus. It is a Sacred Gear that has the power to kill God. Like the one I possess in my left arm. So, there is a sacred utensil that is a Sacred Gear and is also a "Longinus". But to hear that the spear that killed Jesus-san was also a "Longinus"… I was discovering the mystery behind the history from out of nowhere. Talking to a high-class devil can be really shocking.
"Except, at this point there isn't a Holy Sacred Gear that can compete with Excalibur, Durandal or Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi because these holy-swords are too powerful. It's the same with the demonic-swords."
Hmmmm. So much stuff that I had no clue about. I'll probably have to remember these things, but lately there is so much stuff that I have to remember, it's hard to keep up…
"Yuuto received artificial treatment to adapt to the holy-sword, particularly the Excalibur."
"So Kiba is able to use the holy-swords?"
Buchou shook her head at my question.
"Yuuto couldn't adapt to the holy-swords. Not only Yuuto, but it seems like everyone who received a treatment similar to Yuuto's couldn't either…"
Even Kiba who is an expert at using swords and can handle all those demonic-swords couldn't use the holy-swords.
"The people of the Church decided to view the ones who couldn't adapt to the holy-swords as "defective products" and disposed of them."
Dispose… Sounds like an unpleasant word. I can imagine what it means. Buchou's eyes changed because she also felt discomfort.
"Most of the people experimented on were killed including Yuuto. Only because they couldn't adapt to the holy-swords…"
"…It can't be. It's not an acceptable act by those who serve God."
It seems like this was a big shock for Asia. Her eyes were covered with tears. It is normal to cry when something you believe in continues to betray you.
"Typical human... Asia you should know they are wolf in sheep. Not all people from church are innocent. Many of them are selfish and a fool... This is one of the reason why i'm not religious"
Kai said with disgust in his tone and he clearly scowled.. I also didn't like it. Dispose someone because they can't wield sword its cruel thing!
"They, the people of the Church, calls us devils an evil existence, but I think the bad intentions of humans are the greatest evil in this world."
Buchou said it with sad eyes. Buchou is a devil. But she is very kind. Buchou told me that she has similar feelings as humans because she stayed in the human's world for too long but I believe that's not the case. I think that Buchou was a kind woman right from the start. Otherwise you can't explain her kind smile. There are also kind people among the devils! And that is my pride of being a devil.
"When I reincarnated Yuuto into a devil, that boy was swearing for his revenge even when he was in a critical situation. Because his talents were being used for holy-swords since he was born, I wanted him to use his talents as a devil. Yuuto's talent at using swords would be a waste for only using it for holy-swords."
Buchou wanted to save Kiba by turning him into a devil because he had a miserable life due to the holy-swords. She wanted to tell him not to get so fixated on holy-swords and use his powers as a devil. But Kiba…
"That boy couldn't forget about it. The holy-swords. Those who were involved with the holy-swords. And the people of the Church…"
The reason why he detests priests. The reason why he is obsessed with the information regarding holy-swords. He still couldn't forget about them. No, they played around with his life and killed him afterwards, it's not weird for him to hold a grudge. When I was killed by that fallen angel, I also held a grudge against her. And it happened to him when he was little so his hatred against them must be enormous. Buchou made a big sigh.
"Of course he won't forget! Just imagine. They treated like a scum. And yet they still believe in God. But what in the end? Only betrayer... If i were in Kiba position i also going to swear revenge"
Kai said with angry in his tone. Its not often seeing him angry since he always calm and stoic but if he angry.. I don't want to be there
"Anyway I will just watch over him for now. Right now his head is full of the feelings he has towards the holy-swords. But I hope he returns to his usual self."
"Ah, about that. I think this photo was what caused him to act like this."
I handed the photo to Buchou. Kiba said the sword in this photo is a holy-sword. I think it is somehow related… Buchou's eyes changed as soon as she saw the photo.
"Ise. Is there someone you know who is related to the Church?"
"No. There's none among my relatives."
That's what my parents told me. I asked them just in case.
"Except when I was really small, it seems there was a child who was a Christian living in the neighbourhood... Kai you have better memory. Why not you explain to Buchou?"
I said to Kai who leaned on chair with his eyes closed
"Shidou Irina... A noisy kid and troublesome girl.. Many think she was a boy because her antic.. Her farher was exorcist... He offer me to join with church when he see my talent in sword but i refuse it.. That holy-swords of him. I don't know what it name but it really holy-swords"
Kai explain with calm expression. Buchou expression hearing Kai words turn into grim and she nodded
"So, there is one near you… No, there was a holy-sword in this area about 10 years ago. It's so terrifying."
"Then is that sword really a holy-sword?"
"Yes, it's one of the holy-swords. It's not as powerful as the legendary holy-sword I mentioned before, but it's the real thing. Then it must mean that this man is the holy-sword wielder… Now I get it. I heard that my predecessor who was in charge of this area vanished, but it would make sense if this was the reason. But if I remember…"
Oh. Buchou started talking to herself. Seems like she found out something. But Buchou thought for a while and…
"Let's go to sleep. Even if we think about it, it's not like Yuuto's behaviour will go back to normal."
After saying that, Buchou send an odd look to Kai and Asia
"*sigh* fine. But remember my word Rias-sempai... I dint want to become Uncle yet"
Kai then grab Asia hand who only has "?" Expression as usual then drag her out! Oi! Oi! What are you two doing?! Why you two leaving me?!
"Let's go to sleep"
I turn and see. ! Uoo Buchou! Why you start to stripping?!
Next day (Kai POV)
"So... There will be 2 priest come to here?" I asked
"Yes.. They already contact me about it. Apparently they search for missing Excaliburs" Sona answered my question
Currently i'm on Student Council office playing chess with Sona again. When we play she always prefer alone for some reason. I think she intrested on me because we are rival in chess
"Excalibur? As if the legendary Excalibur wielded by King Arthur?" I asked clear in surprise though i faked it
"Yes. But the Excalibur itself doesn't exist. It broken into 7 pieces in Great War before" Sona explained and move her pieces
"Ah... And here i thought it only one.. If that's true then i think i just found one yesterday" I said and moved my Pawn
"You found one? How?" She asked me in surprise tone and stop move her chess for moment
"I fight with the wielder of it. He manage to escape before i able to finish him" I explained make she scowl a bit
"That's dangerous of you. Why you fight with the wielder of legendary Excalibur alone?!" She said in stern tone
"Well there aren't anyone. Beside i able to beat him. Its not big deal. You has see how strong i am at Rias party last time right? Not need to worry" I said in assure tone. She shifted her glasses before sigh and nodded then look back to the board
"If you say so then. But if something happen to you i will reincarnate you to Devil and i make sure you will regret for been dead" Sona said in cold tone and somehow i feel hair on my neck is standing though i still keep my face calm
"Hai sempai by the way. Promotion Pawn to Queen!" I said and her eyes widened "You should pay more attention to game Sempai.." I smirked
Well the game was over with me once again win. Sona score is 11 while i 9
I must say she was pretty smart for girl around her age. I don't think Rias will win against her if they battle on Rating Game. Sona intelligence was beyond Rias, not to mention she has more Peerage.. And there Saji too if i recall he has Sacred Gear that able to absorb enemy power. Ise will having hard time with that
When i'm not far from house i stop in my track. I felt 2 holy energy. It come from direction of my house. I sharpened my eyes when felt this and grip my Katana. I already bring it today just in case if something like yesterday happen
This aura.. There's no mistake... Excalibur.. Two of them.. Are Xenovia and Irina already come? I continue to walk but keep myself on guard
"I'm home!" I open the door and said
"Ah you back already!" Mom who sit in sofa turn to greet me. I then see 2 woman sit in front of Mom
They were both young foreigners with a Rosario hanging around their chest. Both of them looked about my age. One had chestnut coloured hair and the other one had blue hair with a green mesh and sharp eyes. Both of them were wearing a white robe... Xenovia and Shidou Irina
"And these 2 lady are?" I asked
"Ah! You must be Kai-kun! Long time no see!" Irina said with smile to me while Xenovia look into me acutely while i glance to the Excalibur she bring behind her..
'He has holy energy around him... Does he has something to do with Excaliburs?' Xenovia look into Kai skeptically
"Hmmm.. I feel i had meet you before.. Do i know you?" I replied with monotone make her blinked
"Ah. You still stoic as ever Kai-kun. Don't you remember me?" Irina said happily make me blinked once
"... Ah.. Shidou Irina.. I remember you.. A troublemaker kid" I said bluntly and i can see Xenovia smirked a bit while Irina scowl a little
"Well sorry for that. I was a kid before!" She pouted
"I was a kid too before but i'm not troublemaker" I retorted make her pouted more
"Now, now Kai don't be like that to Irina-chan. She has grown into quite lady isn't it? Even i also surprised" Mom giggling
"Yes. I must agree. From T.A.S.T kid to this young lady. Pretty impressive" I said in monotone make everyone blinked
"T.A.S.T?" Irina asked
"Troublesome. Annoying. Spoiler. Troublemaker" I said in monotone and i can see an visible arrow stab Irina in chest which make me wonder just where the hell is that arrow come from?
"Ku! As expected from Kai-kun! You still meany like before!" She pouted with tears on her eyes make me smirk a bit. I sit on Mom side and glance to Xenovia
"And who this lady?" I asked
"I'm Xenovia. Pleased to meet you Hyoudou Kai-san" Xenovia greet me and i nodded before turn to Mom
"You not giving my number to them aren't you?" I asked with deadpanned and Mom suddenly flinched and scratch her head sheepishly
"W-Why i would do that?" She ask nervously to me
"Mom. You give my number to Tomoe-san before without my permission" I deadpanned to her who now rub her head sheepishly
"I will make tea for you dear! Wait a moment!" With that she go to kitchen while i sighed before turn to Irina
"Irina-san since you got mine can i get yours too?" I asked
"Eh! Sure!" She then give me her number
"Good. Well how England for you?" I asked
"It quite fun actually! I become priest! See!" She wave her Rosario and i nodded
"You follow your father trail. As expected. Shidou-san also offer me to follow him to England before" I said and she blinked
"Eh? Father did?"
"Yes. He approach me when i do Katas in backyard while you and Nii-san playing "Hero"." I explained
"Ah? And you reject it? Why? You has talent! If i recall you beat up 10 bully using stick that older than you by yourself!" She exclaimed and i sweatdropped while Xenovia look into me with surprise
"And how you know that one?" I asked. The answer is she pull out the photo where i beat out of them except this time there was Irina in there cheering for me
"I had it with me. You saved me when those bully annoy me" She said and i blinked. Ah yes now i remember but just how many bullies i has beaten before?
"Is that so. Well its good then" I said in monotone and she pouted again. What did i do now?!
"Mouu! You are stoic as ever! Why don't you show expression a little?"
"Hn!"
Everyone sweatdropped at that
"Here's the Tea. Ah by the way Irina-chan i bring something that will refresh memory. Here this is picture of Issei" Mom said as she show the picture to Irina who giggling seeing their childhood
"Do you want to say something?" I asked to Xenovia as i realize she has glancing to me since i sit
"Nothing... It just you are have pure aura around you" She said and i know the meaning of it
"You has holy aura around you. You hiding something dangerous"
That's what she mean
"Is that so?" I asked back and narrowed my eyes "I can say the same to you. Not to mention your nature as born wielder"
Her eyes widened in surprise when that word left from my mouth. I merely sip my tea calmly and close my eyes. I can sense Nii-san already arrive
"And this is a picture of Ise when he was in primary school. Look. This is the picture when his togs got ripped at the swimming pool. It was very troublesome. He went to the pool's slide with his togs ripped." Mom showed the picture to Irina
"…Mu…mum?"
Mom then turn and looked at Nii-san when she realised he was arrive
"Oh Ise. Welcome back. What happened? You look pale."
"Hauuuuu. I'm so glad."
Asia sat down on the ground as if she was relieved. I also can tell Nii-san take deep breath and calmed down. But i can see he still seems not relax obviously it because there are nun in here
"Hello, Hyoudou Issei-kun." Irina greeted him
"Nice to meet you" Nii-san smiled but i can tell it was forced. Irina seeing this pouted
"Why everyone not remember me?" She murmured
"Troublesome. Annoying. Spoiler. Troublemaker" I reminded her and she glare to me
"It's this child. Shidou Irina-chan. That time she was like a boy, but now she is a proper lady so even I was shocked." Mom explain to Nii-san when she see he still confused. Nii-san showed a surprise face no.. It more better shock than surprise
"Long time no see, Ise-kun. Did you mistake me for a boy? It can't be helped since I was a troublemaker just like the boys. But it seems like we both have changed in the time we didn't see each other. Really. You can't tell what can happen in a reunion." Irina said in voice that mean something as she close her eyes half while Xenovia look into Nii-san and Asia with thoughtful expression
I merely close my eyes with calm and drinking the Tea at the scene. Irina and Xenovia cast a glance to me. I open my left eye that turn into Sharingan make Irina paled slightly while Xenovia immediately put grim face
Let see where this going..
"I'm glad that both of you are safe." Rias said as she hug Asia and Nii-san
Irina and Xenovia has leave 30 minute ago. When Nii-san and Asia came back. I immediatly tell her to go to room and wait for me since i know she have problem with church
After that Buchou returned home. Like us, she came home with a pale face. After she confirmed mine and Asia's safety, she suddenly hugged us.
"Are you injured? I think they knew about us being devils, but I think they couldn't lay a hand on us in a normal residence and especially in front of your mum who is a normal human."
"Both Ise-san and I are safe, Buchou-san." Asia said and Rias hugged them even tighter and held them like valuable things.
"Aaah, Ise. I'm glad… If something were to happen to you and Asia, I… After the normal club activity I was called in by Souna and was listening to the story about people related to the Church intruding the town. And I also heard that they have a holy-sword with them." Rias said in low voice
Is that so? Now i see why she late. Sona told me first before told her since i will going home first and i'm free man unlike Nii-san and Asia who work for Rias. Very clever of you Sona
"I thought that the worst might have happened to my cute servants. I prepared for the worst scenario you know…? If I were to bid farewell to you after we had an argument, then I would have regretted it till death. I'm sorry. I should have treated you two with more importance…"
Ah.. As expected from Gremory. I heard they treat their servant with respect and love.. How noble of them
"Rias-sempai. You hurt me. Did you think i will let those priest hurt Nii-san on my watch?" I asked and she look into me with smirk
"Well i can't help but worry okay. There are 2 of them who know they can hurt Asia or Ise while you fight one of them" She answered and i merely give her look that said "Who you thinking you talking to?"
"Buchou, oppai." Nii-san said suddenly make me sweatdropped
"Yes, I know Ise. You really are a spoiled child…" Rias replied to him
"No time for that Nii-san!" I said as i drag him away from Rias. Really why he have to be such a perv? After they calmed down Rias start to talk
"According to Sona, who had met those two at noon, they want to negotiate with me, the devil Rias Gremory, who has this town as her territory."
"The people from the Church want to negotiate with a devil?" Nii-san said in shock while Rias only nodded. Well obviously a nun want to talk with Devil? Even i will be surprised if i don't know the story
"Then is it a pact? Or a request?" Nii-san asked again
"…I'm not sure what they are planning, but they are planning to come to the club room after school tomorrow. They apparently promised God that they won't attack us."
"Can you believe them?"
"We have to. We have to believe in their belief since they are the believers of God and they are coming to request something from devils, when we are supposed to be evil beings to them. They seem to be under pressure and it's certain that it's trouble. I have a bad feeling about this… From their story, the priests that come to this town keep getting killed." Rias said with serious face and tone
"Well obviously since i just found a dead body of priest on my home before" I said make they turn to me "There are trail of Holy Aura on their corpses and the aura also strong one. Which mean it possible that the culprit has legendary holy item... Just like those two"
"W-Wait! Are you saying the killer has legendary holy artifact?!" Nii-san asked in shock and i nodded
"There's no doubt. I can sense the holy energy on it. Their problem must be about those missing artifact.. Or stealing precisely" I shrugged
"A-Are you okay Kai-san?" Asia asked me
"Hn. Don't worry i'm not a person who will dead with easy" I said calmly since i wielder one of legendary holy sword. Excalibur fragments is nothing compared to mine who can hold it ground against Arthur Caliburn
Next day
I on my way to Occult Research Club. Gremory group currently is in middle of meeting with church duo. The reason why i late was because i talk with Murayama about Kendo club and the junior member
Honestly i was lazy to attend the meeting but i do this for Asia since she seems not comfortable around people in church
I arrive in front door of club and knock it
"Enter!" Rias voice said through the door and i open it
"Sorry i'm late. Murayama-san asking about Kendo club schedule" I said as i close the door. I then notice Xenovia immediately glare to me and Irina cast worry glance. Asia seems relaxed when i come it clear on her face so i approach her and sit on her side
"You are human. Correct?" Xenovia asked me when i sit
"Yes. Is there are any problem Xenovia-san?" I asked calmly
"You are human.. And also i can sense holy energy inside you.. Yet.. You socialize with devil.. How disappointing" Xenovia said with disapproving tone
"Such manner. At least i use my holy power to kill stray devil and not use it to butcher random person like stray exorcist. And where they come from in beginning? Of course from the church" I reply coolly. Xenovia narrowed her eyes at me dangerously. I can tell Asia hold my cloth with tight but i keep my gaze calm and look into her eyes back
"I will be happy if you not fighting in here. That's man was like little brother to me" Rias interjected our conversation and Xenovia gaze softened before turn to Rias and nodded
"Anyway. Where is the person the Orthodox Church dispatched?" Rias asked and change the topic
"They have that person put on hold for this case. They are planning to protect the last Excalibur if Irina and I fail." Xenovia answered
"So it's just the two of you? You are going to retrieve the Excaliburs from the leader of the fallen-angel with just the two of you? How reckless. Are you trying to die?" Riassaid it with an amazed voice. But Irina and Xenovia said it with straight eyes,
"Yes."
"I have the same view as Irina, but if it's possible I don't want to die."
"…You came here to Japan prepared to die? The belief in your teaching is extreme like always."
"Don't talk ill of our beliefs, Rias Gremory. Right, Xenovia?"
"Right. Also the Church decided that it would be better to eliminate all of the Excaliburs rather than letting them get used by the fallen-angels. Our minimum objective is to get the Excaliburs away from the fallen-angels. To accomplish that, it's okay for us to die. The only way to fight against the Excaliburs are Excaliburs."
I have to hold the urge to laugh when hearing this conversation. Very funny i don't know what church thinking by sending 2 Excaliburs against 4 Excaliburs and general of fallen angels. If they smart, they won't send only 2 people at least
"Is it possible with only the two of you?"
"Well, we won't die in vain."
Xenovia said fearlessly to Rias question.
"You seem confident. Do you have a secret weapon?"
"Maybe. I will leave it to your imagination."
"…"
"…"
Well if you talking about Durandal then it clear even that still won't able to help you! After that, the two of them just stared at each other and the conversation stopped. Irina and Xenovia looked at each other and stood up.
"Then we will take our leave now. Let's go Irina."
"So you won't drink your tea? I can prepare a snack for you."
"I don't need it."
Xenovia declined Rias offer with her hand. Such manner! These girl really seems have problem with devil!
"I'm sorry. See you."
Irina also apologised with her hand. They didn't try to accept Rias offer, and the two of them tried to leave. Then both of them looked in the same direction. It was Asia.
"When I saw you in Hyoudou Kai's house I thought that maybe it was you. Are you the "Witch" Asia Argento? I never expected to meet you in a place like this." Xenovia said and Asia body shook for moment when she hear "Witch" word
"Are you the rumored "witch"? The former holy-maiden? You are said to have the power that can also heal devils and fallen angels, right? I heard that you were sent somewhere after getting exiled, but I never thought you became a devil." Irina asked
"…Ummmmm…I…I…"
Asia didn't know how to react to Irina and Xenovia.
"It's okay. I won't tell the higher ups what I saw here, so rest assured. People who were around the "Holy-maiden Asia" will also get shocked as well."
"…"
Asia made a perplexed expression at Irina's words.
"But to become a devil. The one who was called a "Holy-maiden". You fell to the lowest place you could. Do you still believe in our God?"
Okay that's it. It already gone too far
"Would you two leave her alone? You two presence already bothering her and bring bad memory to her" I interjected with cold tone
"And what you mean by bad memory?" Xenovia asked me with glare
"Isn't it obvious? After what church done to her you still need to ask?" I asked back
"If you mean by exiling her then i can see why now she been exiled. To think she will step so low into become devil" Xenovia retorted. My reply was a cold laugh that send shiver to everyone
'I-I-I never seen Kai like this before... And i swear its scaring me...' Ise thought with shudder as he see Kai who laughed
I open my eyes again and its not normal black eyes anymore but crimson with 3 black tomoe and i can see Xenovia and Irina flinched for moment when they see my eyes
"Don't make me laugh. Your church are pathetic. Bunch of fools and garbage... They fear Asia power that's why they exile her. I won't mock your belief since true it was pure. But your people act make the belief seems an flower rafflesia to everyone. Beauty in eyes but the truth it was parasitic, disgusting and controlled by insect" I said in cold tone and stoic face. Xenovia glare deepened and i can see her hand shaking in rage, i can tell she really want to slash me with Excalibur now
"Kai! That's-"
"Is that an declaration? And who you thinking you are to talk like that about us?" Xenovia said and cut Rias voice
"I am the neutral side of this world. Since i born i never heard or see good thing church do. All i heard was the girl who been exiled because has the power to heal devil and a man who got disposed because they can't wield a holy-swords. So in my eyes now.. You church are scum among scum" I said in cold tone and this time Xenovia whole body tremble and i can see she close to snapped while Irina also glare to me
"Y-You!"
"That's good timing. I will be your opponent."
Kiba also stand and carrying his sword, and there was an enormous aura of intent to kill coming out of his body.
"Who are you?"
Kiba smirked at Xenovia's question.
"I'm your sempai. Though I apparently was a failure."
That instant a countless number of demonic-swords appeared in the club room.
