-DRAGON AND FAMILIAR-
*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!*
"Are you serious Koa?" Marisa asked skeptically. But Koakuma nodded.
"Yes." She then turned to all of us and nodded. "Yo see Youkais of this world of Issei's and my own do have that much great power. In fact most Devils, Fallen Angels and Angels only have generic abilties to the point you can compare them to Kendamas and some Fairies."
"What... Seriously?" Again Marisa was the one to ask and Koa nodded in affirmative again.
"Yeah, not all of them have any particular unique abilities or talents." She shakes her head. "Though those that do are pretty strong. For example my cousin has the family ability called 'The Power of Destruction'..." Wait... Power of Destruction? That kinda sounds dangerous. "It is." Wait am I saying out my thoughts again?
"So unique powers tend to be similar to what people's abilities are in Gensokyo?" Patchouli theorized but her familiar shook her head.
"No master, my family's ability is one of the few exceptions. In fact if there are any other exceptions is the Sacred Longinus that has abilities on par or somewhat close enough to those of Gensokyo..." She shook her head again. "Even so people don't have something the likes of Mistress Remilia's ability or that of Keine-san or even Reisen."
"I see. The reason they are weak is due to not having unique abilities." Patchouli again theorized and again her familiar shook her head. Wow Patche is wrong twice. I wonder why.
"No master. You forget that everyone in Gensokyo has their abilities limited." Abilities limited... wait you can't mean...
"The enforced Spellcard Rules." Reimu said calmly. "Apart from turning all battles non-lethal is practically is a wide magical training weight."
"I see... so Koakuma, you were not exaggerating when you said that little Cirno can outfight many of the beings here." Patchouli said to her helper who nodded. I also see the point. Since the majority of Gensokyo had their abilities pretty much suppressed by the Spellcard Rules they would become powerhouses here in my and Koa's-
Wait...
"Is that why Mima's gacha had a lethal Master Spark?" I asked. And both Reimu and Koakuma nodded.
"Without the Spellcard Rules actual Spellcards would be incredibly lethal. And considering most of them is Danmaku... well imagine anyone getting hit by it." I see... In fact now that I think of it when I fought Yuuma... well I think that's her name since that's the one she used to seduce me I guess, she got pretty hurt badly. While on the other hand even when one of the residents of Gensokyo rampages most wouldn't get hurt until one goes far. In fact it's probably the reason Meiling recovered quickly after getting hit by a certain Unyuu and go and blocked more attacks from her.
"I see... So someone like Utsuho would be-" Koakuma smacked me in the head.
"Of course she'd be dangerous! She controls Nuclear Fission you idiot!" Ah sorry for making a bad example! Still I'm getting the gist of it.
"Speaking of which..." Reimu interrupted. "The reason why I'm here is to make a boundary so that the Spellcard Rules are also followed in this small apartment of yours and the nearby area."
"Really?" I said out in shock. In fact looking at how everyone else looked surprised it seems they just learned of this too.
"I see... so that's what you were doing." Wait... do you mean that Reimu just did her thing without anyone realizing.
"Well it's not like we know what to look for when one is enforcing the Spellcard Rules anyways." Alice stated and shook her head. "Still despite what we all have done it seems Reimu made the best defence." Reimu made a v-sign at this and everybody chuckled.
"Well with that out of the way... let's eat!" Shou energically announced while Nazrin sighed at the antics of her master. Though considering many stomachs rumbled, might as well.
*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!*
That night was awesome as we kinda partied and had fun after all those explanations along with Koa's kinda ominous warnings. Though I admit the day after that was the only time it sunk in. Still with enough precautions in my home I would at least feel safe here... then when I leave home...
"Issei! Come on and hurry up we'll be late!" Ah... Sanae is already here... no wait why should I be surprised? Considering the smile she displayed as we first walked into Kuoh shows just how she liked to continue school. Reisen however...
"Sigh... well at least I'm not getting experimented..." She mutted while I saw her staring at the headband that apparently she hates more than anything due to hurting her actual ears.
"Doesn't that hurt?" I ask and she gave me a 'Are you kidding me?' look making me apologize.
"Honestly Udongein-san... I don't know how that feels." Sanae told her... In fact seeing Reisen nod kinda felt weird. Then again it's true.
"Good thing too... because you don't want to know." She said as laid her head face down on the dinner table. Both Sanae and I could only wince at this.
Oh yeah... ever since my adventures in Gensokyo I was never late for school nor did I wake late. Frankly because of Sanae who back then shared her sentiments on not being able to finish her schooling... Now however I could not help but smile as that regret would disappear. And now we-
"Eh?" It was a text message. Quickly browsing through my phone I found a message from Gremory-sempai.
"Oh..." "Ugh..." Was Sanae's and Reisen's reaction to the message. Apparently she was apologizing again for something in fact the message only said:
'I'm so sorry Hyoudou-kun, I screwed up again.'
"Gremory-sempai is surprisingly unreliable." Sanae muttered and Reisen agreed by nodding... Actually me too since considering what we know of her... Still something must have happened.
"Ah... another message. Ummm... Please do not bother to get into your classes, you have been excuse and report immediately to the student council room. Also Rias is sorry since her opponent was a combination of two people that can see through the tiniest cracks in an argument and one scary sister-in-law." Apparently this one was from Himejima-sempai.
"I wonder how pressured she was to give in. In fact I wonder what she told them." Reisen said while sighing.
"What do we do know?" I ask, rather nervous at the whole thing.
"No... you and Sanae will do nothing." What? "It's time for me to do my thing." Wait a minute...
"Reisen... don't tell me!" She nods and I'm actually very surprised while Sanae just sighed.
"Honestly when Kanako and Suwako-sama told me about this part I am kind of against it... but we may have no choice now." The wind prietess told me, and considering Reisen's abilities that was true. But if Gremory-sempai really did screw badly enough that there was no other choice.
We had to rely on Reisen breaking their minds.
*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!*
"Hello, we're here." I said after knocking at the large doors that designated the student council room.
"Ah... please come in." Invited in I looked at my companions who shrugged and all three of us walked in. Coming inside I saw a particular scene... well a completely depress and down Gremory-sempai with her head down and had her back patted by Himejima-sempai... In fact I think the clouds of depression is incredibly heavy with her.
Umm... the whole of the Occult Research Club is here and from the... well I'm familiar with Shitori-sempai and ummmm... Uh... Uh-oh... Tsubaki-san the vice president and the remaining member of the four Great Ladies of Kuoh... I forgot her family name... Heck now that I remembered I don't even remember the poor dude of a classmate sometime ago.
Oh boy, this is going to be a problem sooner or later.
In any case, apart from them there is red haired man in a suit, a twin tailed blonde mahou shoujo cosplayer and...
"Hey Issei... doesn't that woman look like Sakuya?" Sanae and Reisen who nodded, pointed out. I nod myself.
"Yeah. If we probably put them side by side we probably wouldn't know the difference..." Reisen shook her head at that.
"True, but Sakuya is a lot younger than this woman. Maybe she's like you and Koa and this woman is her elder sister... or even mother." True, though if it was really a fact then it would be completely surprising.
"Please be seated." Shitori-sempai said causing us to stop gossiping and picked seats that got a view of everyone in the room while close enough to be converse with. Also it was those folding chairs we picked no like the cushy sofas the others were sitting on. Wait... why are there luxury items in the council room? Or maybe they're probably rolled out for those three guests...
Those the cute girl in the mahou shoujo cosplay doesn't seem like a guest...
Still, it's not they really knew and just sat down. Well he and Sanae did because Reisen did not do so immediately, instead stared at the crowd a little longer before doing so. By then it was too late for anything, they were in Reisen's palm now.
Though judging from the way the woman wince it's probably that noticed. Not that it matters. Honestly the whole thing makes me feel that I'm sort of villain and considering what Sanae said back home she probably felt the same. Oh Gremory-sempai if you only didn't cave in.
Reisen's power, the eyes of madness. Something thanks to the System in Gensokyo only cause the guardians of that land to be confused and disoriented. Here where there is no such protection, even Reisen cannot guarantee the sanity of the minds of the people before her. And unfortunately the Occult Research Club is with them. With that said, I'm already having doubts with this plan.
Though from her first explanation and knowledge of what Reisen could really do, I already had second thoughts about the whole thing from that time on. Still wouldn't stop us from doing this sadly. Gensokyo's safety is at hand and Yukari herself beat that part to my brain during the Occult Research Club's only time in Gensokyo.
Then again I think that thinking only applies to herself and not me and the others... I think I kinda got corrupted here. But... the feeling of her bosom and the cooing noises she made! Ooooohhhhh!
"Thank you Shinra-sempai." Sanae thanked. Oh... So Shinra is Tsubaki-sempai's family name... Umm... I gotta remember this because it's important... and that she's Vice President and my sempai. She waved it off and seemed to defer to Shitori-sempai and then Shitori-sempai deferred to the unknown man.
This unknown man must be the head honcho and considering how he looked he also must be Gremory-sempai's brother. And that means he's the current Lucifer if I so remember what Gremory-sempai and Koakuma had told us.
"Sorry to drag you into this suddenly." He apologized. I wonder how sincere that was, then again the troublemaker here is me. "But you three have information we need. Though I admit my cute little sister here had spilled some of it, but not all."
"Excuse us. But what did Gremory-sempai say, because we have no idea what you are talking about." Reisen countered, looks like she's spearheading this one. Then again that is to be expected. Though I don't know if playing dumb is good in this situation.
"I'm afraid very little." It was Shitori-sempai who answered this time. "While you may not believe any spoken guarantee we assure you that we are just looking for information to diffuse the messy situation that our little town is in."
"Hah?" Again Reisen plays dumb for us. She must be really working hard.
"Hmmm... Perhaps you might be swayed if you know what's going on." Well at least it looks like Gremory-sempai held as much for us. On that we could thank her for. "Very well then."
At that most of the people in the room took turns in telling us the current situation. Though we already heard most from Gremory-sempai, though the new/updated information was nice especially when we found out that Heaven's Faction in this Biblical three way had brought a small army. A small army enough to decimate the entire area and then some.
I'm definitely not feeling that safe here.
Then there was the Fallen Angels who I for all we know, knew of my existence. Apparently their head honcho personally came, and from we are being told he is one of the most cunning of the three faction leaders. Apparently the Fallen Angels also has access to super technology... or pretty much high tech things that could do stuff like locate people with Sacred Gears...
...
Ahahahahaha, this is very funny.
Then these guys are modest enough that despite their enforcement, some idiotic devils have escaped here to find and recruit little old me. In fact that would do it no matter what it takes... No matter what it takes.
Ah... That's nice. Maybe I should take up the many people's invitation to stay in Gensokyo permanently? Though the nice people here would miss me...
"Hyoudou-kun... Is something wrong?" Shitori-sempai asked, and honestly my two compatriots glared. What do you expect from me? I screwed up big time.
"Well honestly... this whole thing is too big for me." Ahahaha... yeah this is true. No lies here. "In fact I don't really understand." Well I actually do, but I'll follow Reisen's lead.
"Ah true, the situation is somewhat big." The man acknowledged. "That is why as three people that has ties with this incident, we ask for your help. Because if the source... of that power is not identified soon..." The man sighed.
"What will happen?" Sanae asked even though we all knew what.
"War, little miss. War will happen. War that you never could ever imagine." The blonde mahou shoujo cosplayer said as she shook her head. "Nevermind the fact that each side are most likely innocent of this, but due to the power displayed on that time each side is weary. And most possibly due to politics each side will start pointing fingers and dream up incredulous scenarios. We are trying to avoid a severe misunderstanding that would claim hundreds of lives. This why we ask." She kneeled and bowed her head much to the surprise of a lot of individuals there... especially us.
In fact both me and Sanae is already wavering but...
"That's very lofty." Wow Reisen... just wow... "But I still do no see any guarantee... something concrete for us to comply. In fact you have been talking for a while without us knowing your names."
"Ah... Indeed." The blonde stood up. "It is quite rude not to mention difficult to trust anyone who doesn't even introduce themselves. I am Serafall Leviathan the elder sister of your Student Council President."
"I am Sirechz Lucifer and this is my wife Grayfia." Uhhh... His wife is also his maid? Ummm... how does that work?
"Ahh... Are you wondering about Grayfia? Don't, because no matter what she looks and does she's clearly on top." The newly introduced Serafall told us. Hmm... wow really. Oh by the way Shitori-sempai's sister is completely cute... and pretty...
"Hey! Uhh..." Uh... I see what she means, considering just one cough and whatever retort the man had died in his throat. Still about the requ-
"We see your sincerity. However we will not just divulge what we know needlessly despite your intentions." Wow Reisen, that's kinda... "Still it is something to think about." Serafall sighed.
"I see... then please hurry. You might not believe it, but the situation is dire." She told us. And with it we excused ourselves.
*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!*
"Whew... That was intense!" Couldn't help but agree with you Sanae!
"Still, you we're awesome back there Reisen!" I congratulated the Moon Rabbit who blushed and looked away.
"Ah... I just remembered what I did back during my time as well..." She sighed and considering I knew, it's better this way. "In any case I'm glad that I did not need to go through on what we planned."
"Me too. Still what do we do?" Sanae asked. And honestly I don't know either.
"Well you might think this is stupid but... Let's ask the other two factions." Reisen said to my and Sanae's surprise.
"What? Seriously?!" Oh come on Reisen! You know that's dangerous considering-
"Issei, I know that you're being targeted by one of them. But with the leader of the Fallen Angel faction here, it's possible to talk to them normally. And... I doubt the Heavenly Faction will give us problems. Considering we're taking to account the safety of both you and Gensokyo, this is a good plan." Well yeah but...
"Well yeah but..." It seems only Sanae and I are hesitant at this...
"Seriously you two. Between us three, can they really do something to us?" Ummm well...
"You have a point. But..." Sanae turned to me. Well considering I'm mostly the one who made this mess and the actual target...
"Ah... Alright I guess." I consented even though I'm scared. I believe Reisen knows what she's doing, so it's best to follow her plan.
"Okay then. Let's go talk to the other two sides after class. After all we may be excused now, but I doubt about later!" Ah! Ther goes Sanae and Reisen too... Sheez, this is becoming as troublesome as the Meteor Incident... but oh well, I guess another adventure is lined up for me and my friends I guess.
*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!*
