8. Chapter 8

Hello everyone. It's Toyohisa Shimazu.

As you all know after battle with Riser's queen I collapsed. Don't worry I'm alive and in my apartment, but that's not the point. Now listen to me.

This is abrupt, but once or twice, all of you also have things that happen when you're in bed, right?

For example, being late because the alarm didn't go off, or falling off your bed because you moved around while sleeping.

In my case, something that is happening to me right now far exceeds my expectations…

"Unnn…"

I can hear a seductive voice. Yeah, it's coming from very close to me.

When I look next to me, the one who is sleeping there is the black haired girl, Raynere.

She basically forced herself into my home several days ago, and has started living with me. No, basically Azazel,grandpa and mom forced her on me. But it isn't like enjoy her company...

She seems to have come in my bed before I noticed… And she happens to be naked...

No, I knew about it. Azazel told me that she sleeps naked.

Kuuuuu! I can feel a soft sensation from the left side of my body! She's sleeping while using me as her hug-pillow!

Raynere's smell is stimulating my nose! Why does Raynere smell this good?

I mean, her breast is completely touching my left arm! And my left hand is completely covered by something that is extremely soft! It must be her thigh. My left hand is between her two thighs like a sandwich! A 'thigh sandwich'! This is such a wonderful thing!

Thanks to that, I am in a situation where I can't move. No, I don't want to move! There's no way I can end this wonderful situation easily like that!

This only happened just a few days after she started living with me! I thought it was going to feel awkward living with Raynere, but if this kind of thing continues then I am all for it! Banzai!

"...Oh, you're awake Toyohisa-sam...kun?"

So Raynere is also awake!

"Y-Yes, I am. When I woke up, it was like this so I didn't know what to do..."

Well, that's how I actually feel. I have no idea what I should do. And since Raynere has woken up, I'm even less sure of what I'm supposed to do.

"I'm sorry. I felt like sleeping while using you as my hugging pillow. I came in after you went to sleep."

That kind of thing happens!? I really can't understand Raynere's feelings!

Raynere then hugs the left side of my body even stronger. This is heaven!

"What should we do? It might be wonderful to stay like this until it's time to wake up... Maybe doing something a little bit naughty would be a good way to communicate with my master."

Raynere said the last part teasingly.

Chuu.

Raynere then kisses me on my cheek. W-Why does Raynere like me this much!? Is it just me or has Raynere started to be more forward to me even more after the incident with Raiser? It's true that I'm getting a nosebleed every day. Issei would probably be dead by now if he was in my place.

"Umm, Raynere...I'm also a guy...s-so if you say things like that..."

"Do you feel like attacking me?"

Raynere replies with a naughty voice. Why is Raynere so good at stimulating me this much!?

Ohh yeah, she fallen because of lust ,almost forgot it...

"Sure, I'll do anything that will please you."

"—!"

Having her whisper me with her sexy voice, my mind is about to go somewhere else and then—.

KNOCK KNOCK. Someone is knocking at my door.

"Toyohisa. It's almost time for morning training."

The voice I hear from the other side is Azazel's.

...What timing! I-It was getting to the good part— It's all Azazel's fault!

Every morning, I do hard training. That's because I'm still weak.

I still train while Azazel coaches me. Raynere supports me by acting like a manager. Thank you very much Azazel, Raynere.

"Toyohisa? Are you still sleeping?"

"No, I'm awake. W-Wait a bit! I mean, wait for me downstairs!"

That's right. I can't let Azazel see this situation. He will definitely call everyone from my family or even worse...

Without even knowing what was going through my mind, Raynere puts on a devilish smile.

"Azazel-sama, wait for us a bit longer. Both Toyohisa-sama and I need to get ready."

"—!"

Raynere says that to Azazel who's on the other side of the door. Raynereeee! Why are you making it worse!?

Even if he's on the other side of the door, I can imagine Azazel being all smug about this.

OPEN!

My bedroom door is opened violently.

Azazel then sees me, with my upper body up, and Raynere.

Azael looks really pleased. I never seen him this happy. I-It scares me...

Raynere hugs my left arm after seeing Azazel's face. H-Hey, Raynere!?

"Good morning Azazel-sama."

Raynere smiles. Azazel who looks at us with smuggest face in the planet.

Then he puts his hands in to his pockets and draws a phone.

"I have to call the old man,ohh boy do he will surely love THIS!"

"Azazel!?"

I really miss my peaceful and quiet days now...

''Idatakimasu''

Breakfast time. Raynere and Azazel are sitting beside me.

Azazel throws a couple of glances at me and Raynere and going smug everytime. Raynere is eating quietly. Atleast at breakfast everything is peaceful.

''Oh my, so Raynere can make delicious Japanese food as well.''

''Thank you, Azazel-sama. I have been training under head maid of Shimazu clan, so I learned quite a bit of cooking.''

Yes, as for this breakfast we are eating now, Raynere made some of it. Like this fried egg which is very delicious that I have been eating a lot of them since earlier. It's seriously good!

''Toyohisa-kun, there's more, so eat in calmly manner.''

''Y-Yes, Raynere...''

''Already with the 'kun' I see''

Azazel went to his smuginess again.

Either way . I didn't find out until Raynere started living with me, but Raynere is good at cooking Japanese food, western food, and Chinese food. She has a wide range of cooking skills and can cook food of the finest quality.

I thought she would be bad at these kinds of things because she is a fallen angel and wasn't used to these kind of things, but it's the opposite.

I then drink some miso soup. Ah, this miso soup that Raynere made is delicious! Tears are coming out of my eyes!

Girls who are good at cooking are so appealing. Especially if that happens to be are beautiful girl who is an almost like Onee-sama type, then I have nothing to complain about...

''Toyohisa-kun, remember that we are going to your home after school''

Raynere reminded me. I totally forgot that, mom said something about test or something, basically how have I healed after the accident with Raiser and so on.

Line break

"And this is a picture of Toyohisa when he was in grade school."

"Ara ara, so he went into the beach naked."

"Hey Akeno-san! Hey mum, stop showing her things!"

Having test, huh. The 'tests' which was supposed to take place in my house was crumbled by the album mum brought. What even more surprised me that Akeno was here,but mom said that she met her on the way. That was strange because I don't remember mom seeing Akeno. Well that doesn't matter right now as i have bigger problems on my hands.

It's the worst! An object which holds my embarrassing past! Uwaaaaaah, I want to die!

I think I remember mum saying this before.

"One day when you bring lots of girls to our home, I want to show them your album."

She thought that it would end in a dream because I'm unpopular with girls. But life turned around and it changed into this situation... Man, her dream came true when I didn't want it to!

"...Small Toyohisa."

Akeno, I'll be embarrassed if you stare at a picture of me when I was a child like that...

Umm, Onee-sama? Why are your cheeks red?

"...Toyohisa when he was a child, Toyohisa when he was a child, Toyohisa when he was a child, Toyohisa when he was a child..."

Is she muttering something?

But she seems satisfied. Akeno, is the picture of me when I was a child your taste? Is Akeno a shota-con? I never heard her being as such...

"I think I know how Akeno-san feels!"

Raynere grabs Akeno's hand. Her eyes are sparkling. But Raynere was looking different well obviously she didn't want to be found out that she's here by Akeno.

"So you also know how I feel. I'm so happy."

Hey, hey. Both of them went to another world...

I don't know if I want even life at this point...

KICK!

The sound of ball being kicked went through the azure sky.

''All right. I've got this one''

A girl jumped off the ground hitting the ball with her head and directing it to the back of the net.

''Nice goal, Katase!''

The girl named Katase smiled at me and gave me thumbs up. We. the Kendo Club, were practising football(A/N:NO WAY IN HELL WILL I CALL IT SOC...THIS HORRIBLE WORD!) on the football pitch of the school.

''Next week is Kous Academy's 'Ball Tournament'. It's a battle between clubs that we can't lose.''

I said with a firm voice. Yeah, one of the school's biggest events, the "Ball tournament", was closing in. Overall, it is an event where we play ball-related sports, such as volleyball, football, basketball, and tennis. These matches include contests between classes, genders and obviously, there are also some between clubs. Whether or not you belong to a sports club, it's club mandatory; naturally, that includes the Kendo Club. What the clubs actually play is announced on the day of the event, we don't know what it will be. When club member numbers differ, the set up is for fair play, at least number wise. According to the Student Council announcement, some sports may require more players, so we need to make sure we have the reserves. And in conclusion, we were practising sports likely to arise. Today happens to be football. As it was evening, the sky was beginning to darken. Typically, we spend our time training in the dojo. Recently, we began to change into our PE uniforms and practice sports. Well, while I don't hate moving around for fun, for someone like me who trains in the morning, my stamina is drained the entire day. But it's all good because I act like a coach. Training in the morning, lectures at school, more training in the evening... To tell you the truth, it wouldn't be surprising if I died... Asia's healing powers are the ones that are keeping my life.

''You are all moving great but your passing and communications needs work''

''Hai!''

All of them replied. Actually I'm not scared that we would win against almost everyone, what gives me problem is ORC being them devils and all.

''Now! We'll practice volleyball! Now everyone! Catch a breath and go to the gym!''

All of them went to drink and started chatting with each other ,that is till one girl approached me. If I remember she was Junko a first year. She has light brown hair tied into twin tails and green eyes, with a yellow ribbon at both sides. And she is quite petite compared to other Kendo Club girls. She always smiles and is a really pure girl.

''What is it Junko?''

I asked her. Then I noticed her blushing a little.

''S-Senpai...I made...This. PLEASE TAKE IT!''

She screamed the last part handing me bento box and running away ,blushing like a tomato. Then I noticed other girls giving me death stares and hering some of them talking.

''Damn...She got a head start...''

''I will have to step up my game!...''

And things like that.

I looked at the bento box still puzzled a bit ,nevertheless I put it down for later use.

''Okay! Brake is over to the gym everyone''

I said and with that all girls went to the gym.

Everything went smooth, without any accidents ,but still some of the girls glared daggers at me.

Line Break

Lunch time, the next day.

The "Ball tournament" was approaching. Today we would most likely train hard as well. I informed the girls to go to the club room after lunch. Apparently, this would be our last meeting. I have to motivate them to give them all, after all I just learned that the first place will get money for it! All the equipment I could buy with that!

Either way I heard some strange rumors circulating around Issei them being like

The wild beast Ise, playing around with beautiful girls. He's got a hold on Rias-senpai and Himejima-senpai. He's forcing them to do evil, sexual acts against their will. "Fufufu. The dignified Ojou-sama is making such a slutty face for me! You pig!". Then you abuse them with words and violence.

And.

There's more. The beast finally set his filthy fangs on the school's mascot, Koneko-chan, who has a loli body. Then he instigated intense sexual intercourse that could easily break her body. He feasted on an underdeveloped body. "Senpai... please stop...". But her words were futile to the beast. His lust for sex then reached the Angel who had just transferred to our school; he attacked Asia-chan on the first day. "I'll teach you about Japanese culture with my special after school lesson". He made the Angel fall down to the abyss at dawn... You took her into your house. The never ending hell took place in your small room. The brute Ise's hunt for beautiful girls never ends. ...Well something like that.

Seriously if he touched Akeno-san, Koneko-chan and Asia-chan I will castrate him on the spot. No questions asked.

While I was enjoying my lunch and thinking how would I cripple Issei. I heard something that picked my interests.

KNOCK! BANG!

I went to the source of the sound and noticed Issei hitting his perverted friends. This will surely will be amusing so I sited near them but not so close to interrupt them.

"It hurts, you brute!"

"Yeah. Don't take it out on us, you beast!"

"Don't fuck around! Spreading rumours about me?! You guys! Do you really want to die, seriously!?"

"Hm... We'll go crazy with jealousy if we don't do things like this."

"Hahaha! More like our heads are already fucked over!"

"Regret a little! What are you guys trying to do to my school life!?"

"By the way, there's also a rumour about you and Kiba being a gay couple."

"The beast's lust for sex finally reached the school prince! We spread that as well."

"It's really popular among some girls."

"Kyaaa! Who's bending down and who's sticking it in?"

"Die! Seriously die!"

Well atleast that cleared the rumors ,but still I would castrate him if something like that happened.

Then Issei stood up. Putting his bento in his bag.

''Sorry Matsuda and Motohama, I'll leave now for the club room."

"Oh, you're working hard. That's good for you."

"Were you that into sports?"

"Can't help it. Buchou's order. And since I'm training I'll definitely win this."

"Energetic. Until recently you only became hyped up over porn and stuff."

"You really did change. Did you eat something bad? Does your life change when you see real tits?"

"Well, no matter how many times you see real tits, it's always amazing."

"Die!"

"Die!"

Amusing as always the perverted trio is. Well it's a shame that I can't stay here ,as I have Kendo Club to attend.

When I entered the room, the other members were already there...and there were also those who didn't belong to the club here as well.

! I got shocked when I saw the person standing near the club members.

"Student Council President..."

''In the flesh.''

She said in her usual montone. Then she gave me a book.

''This is all your clubs spendings in this past month ,sort them out and bring me them tomorrow. Now excuse me.''

Oh God no,more paperwork...

After she left. I sighted and went to talk with the Kendo girls.

After returning from Kendo Club ,I was currently at my house. Looking through our spending.

''24 broken bokkens... 24! WHERE IN THE HELL DID WE PUT THOSE 24 BOKKENS?!''

I put my hands on my head looking depressed as hell. 24 bokkens aren't cheap...Plus there is electricity bill, water bill, at least we don't have to pay for janitor service or something as we clean everything ourselves, but still bokkens aren't cheap.

''Thanks Raynere''

I sipped green tea that she just brought to me. I started calculating everything.

WE ONLY HAVE 10YEN LEFT. I autistically screeched in my head. That's it I will have a big talk tomorrow with the girls about those 24 bokkens. We don't have the budget to allow such things... Wait Rias brother owns me so what if I told him that I want lots of money. No,no,no to Lucifer to own you something happens never so I better keep it for later...

''Toyohisa bath is ready''

Raynere said, pulling me out of my depression. Finally a bath just what I needed.

I turned around and saw Raynere with nothing but a towel covering her. Noticing where my eyes were staring she let out a grin.

''Like what you see? What about...if i do this?''

She with one of her finger slowly dragged her towel down revealing more and more of her breasts. I just started until I noticed that my manhood was starting to rise. I quickly dashed through her and slammed bathroom door behind me.

I inhaled and exhaled couple of times before calming down. I seriously need a bath now...

Line Break

BANG! BANG!

The sound of the start of the ball tournament echoed in the sky. From today's weather broadcast, it's going to rain in the evening. Please don't rain until the tournament finishes.

[Tsukamoto-kun of the "Manga research club", Hashioka-sensei is calling you. Can you please come to the teacher's room immediately.]

The PA which is placed throughout the school ground was making announcements endlessly. All of us members got changed into our PE uniform and gathered at one place and were resting up till the start of the match. But the club matches were at the end. First of all, there were the class matches. I think my class is going to compete in baseball. Me, Issei and Asia also have to participate. The practice we did after school wasn't in vain. After that there was a match amongst genders. Then after lunch there was a match between clubs. I did some light exercises . Other girls whare stretching with the help of other girls. I sended Katase and Murayama to check the category sports for the club match…. Oh they came back. Katase and Murayama, who just came back, whare smiling fearlessly.

"Fufufu, we have won this match already."

"Murayama, so what is the sports we are playing then?"

"Football!"

I only had a pretty good feeling about this.

Line Break

"Buchouuuuuu! You can do it!"

Issei was cheering for Rias from the tennis court fence. Rias was representing the girls of her class, and was competing against other senior girls.

SLAM!

Rias was playing around with her opponent with her smooth move, but the opponent was quite good as well!

"Kaichou-samaaaaa! Kyaaaa!"

The girls were shouting with a shrill voice. Yes, Rias's opponent was none other than the student president, Shitori Souna.

"Ufufufu. It's wonderful that we can see a match between High-class Devils in a place like this."

Akeno-san was also enjoying watching it beside me. It was just like she said. I never expected that there would be a match between the High-class Devils here. And both of them weren't holding back. They were seriously hitting the ball with their racket.

"Here I come, Sona!"

"Yes, you may, Rias!"

Both of them were exchanging words like that, and they were both really into this match. It looked like a situation in a sports-comedy manga! Even I was getting fired up just looking at them!

"Kaichouuuuu! Please winnnnnnn!"

Ah, some random guy was also cheering in the fence opposite of me. He was even swinging a flag which had a writing "Student Council" on it. Wow, talk about dedication!

"Take this! Shitori-style spin-ball!"

The ball Kaichou had just hit went rushing towards Rias.

"You are too naïve! Take this Gremory-style counter!"

Rias tried to hit it back with her racket, but the ball changed it's direction and went down! Uoooooo! Is it a magic ball!?

"15-30"

"Noooooo, it's Kaichou's point!"

"You are doing well Souna. To be expected from my rival."

"Ufufu. Rias, you haven't forgotten the promise where the loser has to pay for the udon with all the toppings at Kobashiya, have you?"

"Yes, I haven't. It will be my shame if you taste that before me. That's why I will definitely win! Did you know that I have 108 styles of magic ball?"

"I will accept that challenge. I will hit back all the balls that come into my "Shitori-Zone"."

I don't know why but both of their eyes were burning... But princesses, why is the thing you two are betting so…common? Well maybe that's the good thing about Rias and Kaichou. After all the final match between Rias and Kaichou lasted so long, that both of their rackets broke and they both got first places,which was surprise but then I learned that Kaichou was a devil as well and all made sense now . Well, of course, a normal racket would break if they do an intense rally like that. Then the tournament moved to the club matches…

Line Break

"Bloo…bloomers."

I became shocked after seeing what Kendo club girls were wearing. It was not the school's PE uniform shorts but a bloomer! Before the start of the club matches, the girls suddenly disappeared, and when I thought they came back they was wearing a bloomer. I feeled my inner pervert rising to surface. All those nice legs! More shier girls wear even blushing.

''Wish us luck Toyohisa-senpai!''

I averted my eyes from them. I can stare at them otherwise I will become Issei!

"You don't like it, senpai?"

One of the girls asked me with a shy voice looking up at me. !... I felt something burst inside me.

''NO,no. It's great. Thank you very much. Thank you very much!"

I took girls hand and thanked her a lot. But said girl herself didn't know what was going on.

''Raise your spirit up, senpai!''

Murayama now said. She was really energetic today.

''Osu! I'm all fired up! Since I won't play I will give it my all Supporting you girls!''

''Good reply,senpai!''

Then she whispered something to me.

''Are you sure that will do''

''I see...I see''

''OK''

I stood up in front of the girls.

''Listen up! If we win and we keep our goal clean I will go out with all of you!''

Murayama told me to say that, as it would raise everyone's spirit. I doubted it until I sensed fire in Kendo Club girls.

''Let's win this girls!''

''OHHHHH!''

They all went to the field.

[Members of the Kendo Club and the Basketball club. Please gather at the ground.]

The announcement which called for us! Our battle was about to start!

Line Break

''Pressure up high!''

''Pass! Pass!''

I was shouting commands to the Kendo Club girls. The match between clubs has started! The sport we had to do is work as a team and score a goal our first opponent was the basketball club. These guys whare much more stronger being men and could jump higher. Noticing that they played contact football and played a lot of long balls. We were seriously losing in the air ,but the girls didn't give up.

I used 4-4-2 tactic while basketball club used 4-3-3. I put Katase and Murayama as 2 LM and RM positions I put Isamu and Ima as they whare the most energetic and could quickly run either help attacking or defending. At CM position played intelligent Akira and swift like a wind Asuga, they played especially well in the middle Akira smartly passing and Asuga swiftly looking for space. At LB and RB played Chiaki and Bashira I told them to push up high to utilize our flanks and help attacking, they were doing good. And now our 2 CB girls Whare Chizue and Kimmi they were more developed muscular as their fathers owned gyms respectively, They done a good job defending even sometimes pushing the boys to the ground. And now our most amazing and beautiful GK Junko ,you know that girl that was always shy and the one that gave me the bento box ,she was superb in the goal saving us countless times It felt like I was watching Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi play all over again.

Back to the game. We are currently defending a corner. I quickly runned to the side ref.

''How much time left till the end of first half?''

''30 seconds''

Hearing that I quickly shouted to the girls.

''Everyone go in the box. This is the last seconds, defend like your life depends on it!''

Even Katase and Murayama went to the box.I went back to my place and started praying.

WHISTLE

The ref blows his whistle that the they can lift the corner. Without any delay the boy kicked the ball from the corner directing it in to the box. I watched as the boys and girls jumped. The boys jumped really high. And one of them happens to touch the ball with his head

''Oh no!''

I said when I saw that in the next second he directed the ball in to the goal. Junko barely touched the ball,but that was enough to redirect it to the post ,from the post it flew out ,Chizue doing bicycle-kick ,kicking it out of the harm's way.

WHISTLE

That final whistle was like music to my ears even if we only finished only the first half.

The girls garbed their water bottles and started drinking while i brought out football board that I borrowed from Football Club.

''Gather around''

I waited a bit for all of them to gather. Then I continued.

''I'm really proud of you all! You all are excellent on the Pitch! Now let's talk...''

Pulling out white and red and one black touches. And putting them on the board.

''So they're playing lots of long balls ,so...'' I said moving couple of red touches. '' We have to all go up and pressure high. Don't go running around and involving your selfs in their game. Press hard,defend and attack , be disciplined all about that. Isamu,Ima,Chiaki,Bashira you will have even more work now as you will help press and defend.''

''Hai.''

Four of them replied.

''Now Katase and Murayama.'' I said moving 2 pieces.'' You are our strikes but your objective is not to score. Just stand at the back and drawn their defenders to yourselfs leaving space for players who are running from the depth. When you get the ball try to hold it as much as you can and look for players joining you from depth and if you think you can ,then you can go for a goal.''

They nodded in acknowledgement.

''That's is all! All of you are doing really good, remember short accurate passes and don't involve yourselfs in their game. Now go out there and make me proud!''

They stood up and went to the pitch.

The other half went pretty good. Because we pressured up high they couldn't play long balls resulting in lots of mistakes and free balls. At the end we were taking up the initiative even had a couple of chances to score. We attacked and pressured hard and in the end we got in one goal. It was beautiful teamwork as Katase and Murayama dashed in the middle attracting defenders with them ,leaving space for Ima who got a pass from Akira and runned up the flank cutting in the box, outplaying one of the boys and then passing the ball outside of the box to Asuga who joined in the attack and led the ball with a powerful kick to the back of the net. Beside that goal everything was fine, we defended and attacked with discipline which was really hard for Basketball Club to brake.

[The Kendo Club wins!]

The good news which the announcement just made also reached my ears.

Line Break

RAIN

It was raining hard outside. We were lucky that it rained after the tournament. I turned around the corner to see the members of ORC.

SLAP!

There was also a bitter sound which echoed along with the sound of rain. Rias just slapped someone. Not me nor Issei to my surprise. It was Kiba.

"How is it? Did you wake up?"

Rias was quite angry. For the ball tournament, the occult research club, got 1st place,while my Kendo Club got 2nd place. I observed them and they whare playing as a team… But there was one person who didn't cooperate. I'm talking about Kiba. He did contribute a couple of times but he was doing nothing most of the time. Rias got angry at him a couple of times during the match but he didn't seem to care. I would have gotten pissed if Rias didn't. Even if he got his cheek slapped, Kiba still didn't make any expression nor talked. What is this guy… Is he really Kiba? Because of the sudden change he looked like a totally different person. He was a good looking guy who always had a refreshing face. Then he suddenly made the usual smiley face.

I went to Akeno to ask what this all was about,but she just told me to be silent with a sad smile.

"Are you done now? The ball tournament has finished as well. We won't be practicing anymore so can I take a rest until it's night time? I'm a bit tired so I will take a break from the usual club activity. I'm sorry for my behaviour this noon. Seems like I didn't feel well today."

"Kiba, you are really weird lately?"

"It's none of your concern."

Issei asked him but Kiba replied coldly with a smiley face.

"Even I'm getting worried about you."

"Worried? Who worries about who? I think it's normal for Devils to live by how they want. Well, I think I'm at fault for not listening to my master this time."

Hmmm, maybe I should tell him a bit. But why am I supposed to do this? I'm not a member of ORC so I don't know a lot about him...

"It's troublesome a situation like this when we are trying to form a proper group. That's how we felt after we went through that bitter experience in the previous match, remember. Don't we have to cover for each other's weak points from now on? We are comrades."

"Comrades…"

Kiba then made a gloomy face.

"Yes, comrades."

"You are always burning… Ise-kun, lately I started to remember the basic things."

"Basic?"

"Yeah, that's right. The reason why I am fighting."

"Isn't it for Buchou?"

That's what I thought. But he rejected it immediately.

"No. I'm living so I can seek my revenge. Holy-sword Excalibur. Destroying that is the reason why I am living."

Kiba had a face with a strong determination. That time, I thought that I had seen his real face.

(Kiba POV)

I'm walking without using an umbrella under the heavy rain.

I think it's a good rain that can cool my head off.

I had a fight with Buchou.

I rebelled for the first time against my master who saved my life. It was a failure as "Kiba Yuuto".

However, I had never once forgotten my revenge towards the holy-sword Excalibur. I was just getting senile with the lifestyle at school.

I had made comrades, obtained a lifestyle, and received a name. I also received a purpose in life from my master, Rias Gremory.

Asking for more happiness is a bad thing. It's certainly bad.

Until I achieve my purpose, I have never thought that I can continue to live on behalf of my "comrades".

Splash.

I heard a sound of water that is different from the sound of rain.

There is a priest in front of me. By hanging a cross around their neck, they speak of the holiness in the name of God that I so despise.

They are one of the things I hate. The target of my hatred. I even think that I don't mind killing him if he is an exorcist.

The priest has a blood patch on his stomach and when he coughs out some blood, he falls down.

Was he attacked by someone? Who? An enemy?

"!"

Sensing an abnormal presence, I created a demonic-sword instantly. It's a killing intent!

SPARK!

There is a reflection of a metal under the rain, then there's a spark.

When I move my body towards the place where the killing intent is coming from, there is someone wielding a longsword who comes to attack me.

This person is wearing same clothes as the priest that just died front of me. —A priest. Except, this one is giving off a powerful killing intent clearly.

"Yahooo. It's been a while."

I know the boy priest who is giving a disgusting smile.

A white-haired crazy priest, Freed Sellzen. He's the one we fought in the previous incident involving the Fallen-Angels.

...He is showing the same disgusting smile that is ticking me off like before.

"...Looks like you are still in this town. What is your business today? I'm sorry, but I'm in a really bad mood today."

I said that with an angry tone, but he simply laughs it off.

"Well that's good timing. Wonderful! In my case I'm so happy that I'm going to shed some tears because of my reunion with you!"

So he still has his cocky way of talking. Seriously, he really does get on my nerves. I already hate him for being a priest.

When I try to make a demonic-sword in my left hand, the long sword he is wielding starts to emit a holy aura.

! That light! That aura! That glow!

How can I forget!

"I was getting bored of priest hunting, so this really is a good timing. Very Good. Nice timing indeed. My Excalibur and your demonic sword, can you let me check which one is stronger? Hyahahahaha! I will repay you by killing you!"

Yes, the sword he has is the Holy-sword Excalibur itself.

(Toyohisa POV)

"Holy-sword Project?"

Rias nodded at my words.

"Yes. Yuuto is a survivor of that project."

Asia, Issei,Rias and I went to Issei's house after we finished our club activities. Rias and Asia came into Issei's room, and Rias 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.

"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… If I remember my nodachi is a holy-sword i think...

"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? So isn't there a Sacred Gear that can create holy-swords instead?"

It was my question. I made a simple conclusion that a Sacred Gear that can create holy-swords exists because a Sacred Gear that creates demonic-sword does.

"It's not like there aren't. But if you compare it 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 Issei possesses in his 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?"

Rias shook her head at Issei's 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. Rias'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.

"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."

Rias said it with sad eyes. Rias is a devil. But she is very kind. Rias 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 Rias was a kind woman right from the start afterall she saved a pervert like Issei . Otherwise you can't explain her kind smile.

"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."

Rias-san 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. And it happened to him when he was little so his hatred against them must be enormous. Rias made a big sigh.

"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."

Issei handed the photo to Rias. I think it is somehow related… Rias'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."

"Except when I was really small, it seems there was a child who was a Christian living in the neighbourhood."

"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. Rias started talking to herself. Seems like she found out something. But Rias 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, Rias started to strip her clothes!

''Yes, goodnight everyone!''

I said running out of the house leaving them to their own devices.

Now walking alone in the streets I had a couple of things to think about...

I returned home. Everything was pitch black so I figured out Raynere was sleeping or was away. Either way I quickly went to take a shower. After shower I put a new set of underwear and went sleep on the sofa as my room was occupied by Raynere even if she protested at first.

''Toyohisa''

I hear a voice ,when I turned around I saw Raynere in a black lingerie suit wich was looking really sexy at her.

''R-Raynere?''

I asked her with a sly blush.

''Would you sleep with me?''

''What? Sorry didn't hear you...''

"Toyohis-san. You will sleep with me, right?"

Raynere asked me with sexy eyes. I felt like surrendering to her because she wasn't acting or teasing me. She was beautiful yes,but we aren't even in a relationship to make a move like that. I held my head down because this was the hardest choice I've ever faced.

Line Break

''...Fuuu...''

I took a deep breath after I drank a cup of water in the kitchen.

...After that I calmed the situation by choosing ''I will sleep with you ,but no funny business''. Of course seeing Raynere in that outfit made me kinda regret my choice. But still she is really forward as of lately , this leaves me complicated. Yes I may like Raynere ,but at the same time I like Akeno so choosing between the is hard. So choosing one would leave another hating me forever.

But it might be good if I talked with both of them and they would accept me having them both. No this will never work, I'm not some kind of harem MC to have power like that. This is hardest choice of my life. On the bed I slept near Raynere with my back to her. Man up Toyohisa ,if Issei was here he wouldn't be such a wuss. Yes but he's pervert. AHHHH my brain doesn't work anymore! It would be the ultimate situation for guys! It's killing me! Damn it! She is right in front of me but I can't lay my hands on her! I held my head down with my arms. Of course I couldn't go to sleep because I was getting too excited since there were a bishoujo sleeping next to me! I stopped my inner pervert from rising, seriously Issei is starting to rub on me, and came downstairs when I saw a chance. I was sure that she was sleeping peacefully.

Shit! I want to have sex with her! I still am a human, teenage boy with god damn hormones! Shouldn't I use this chance to experience a lot of things!? But Akeno will be mad! What if talked to them both and ended up in a threesome? Is it even possible!? Absurd! No way in seven hells and heavens this would happen. What even am I thinking? Ahhhhh! I'm so conflicted with myself!

[Master. Sorry to bother you.]

...I never expected that you would have started a conversation with me. My guardian Hangaku. She talked to my in the battle against Raiser's Queen. She appeared and helped me defeat said Queen, by Issei defeating Raiser we succeeded in destroying Rias's engagement.

You didn't even appear since then and didn't even talk back to me when I was calling you!

[Sorry Master. You weren't ready to make a contact with me]

I sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"Hmph. Coming out of nowhere."

[Master, Don't say that.]

Does this mean that I'm back at full power or I'm even stronger now? Is that the reason why this girl/guardian is talking to me... Tomorrow is the day that Akeno asked me to help her shopping. Gufufu, I can't wait for tomorrow. I will finally have a chance to go out with Akeno.

[Seems like your head is full of things like that as always,Master.]

Hangaku said it while making a sigh.

"Shut up! I'm at that age!…And what did you want to talk about?"

[I don't mind talking about sexual things]

''...You were listening?''

[Well I am always with you, so I can hear it whether I want or not,Master]

Is that so? So you can hear everything. And it's even worse because it seems like she can hear my thoughts as well.

[The Gremory and their servants are beings with extra-ordinary affection among the devils. Your friend Akeno is the same as well. Especially the love Akeno has towards you is deep… Seems like she likes you a lot. And that fallen in your bed feels the same.]

''...Yeah. I don't know why but both of them like me a lot.''

I answered her while blushing. That's right. I am being especially taken care of by Akeno. I think she started to adore me even more after I beat same is with Raynere which became more forward after that...I'm happy but also embarrassed so I don't know what to do.

[Kukuku. You are probably at the age where you should experience that stuff. You should experience that kind of stuff as soon as you can. You won't know when the death will appear in front of you.]

"…Hey. I wanted to ask you how do you know these things?"

[I'm the spirit of Lady Hangaku who fought in the Genpei and me took a defensive position at a fort at Tossakayama under attack from Sasaki Moritsuna. I commanded 3,000 soldiers to defend against an army of 10,000 soldiers loyal to the Hōjō clan. Ultimately I was wounded by an arrow and captured; the defenses then collapsed. I was taken to Kamakura. When I was presented to the shōgun Minamoto no Yoriie, I met Asari Yoshitō a warrior of the Kai-Genji clan, he later received the shogun's permission to marry me. We lived in Kai, where I had one daughter.]

''Still doesn't answer my question...''

[It's really rude to interrupt someone Master. But basically I'm no stranger to supernatural ,because lot's of clans used magic,curses and etc. Plus Hachiman-kami-sama blessed me himself. This is why after my death my spirit became your guardian.]

''I see... I wonder what about Ddraig, was he reincarnated like you?''

[You know that the three sides of God and Angels, fallen-angels and devils were having a big war a long time ago, right Master?]

"Yeah."

[That time other powers gave their support to certain sides. Fairies, spirits, European monsters, Youkai and humans. But the dragons were the only beings that didn't side with any of them.]

"Why was that?"

[Hmmm I wonder. I don't know the actual reason. But dragons are beings that are made from a mass of powers and they all act freely and selfishly. There were dragons that turned into devils or those that sided with God. But the majority of them didn't care about the war and lived freely.]

Wow, dragon's are such troublesome creatures. They live how they want to.

[But during the Great War between the three powers, there were two stupid dragons that started a fight. And those two were in the highest class of dragons and they had a power that rivalled that of God and Maou. They started to fight each other while taking down the guys of the three powers. For the three powers, there wasn't anything more troublesome than these two dragons. The three powers were having a serious war to take control of this World, and the two dragons were disturbing the battlefield without any care.]

Those two are the worst! They are just super troublesome dragons!

"Why were the two fighting that much?"

[No idea. It's like they weren't interested in anything at all. The two dragons probably can't remember the reason why they started to fight. And for the first time, the leaders of the three powers joined hands. "We have to get rid of those two dragons, or else it's not a matter of war any more!" Like that.]

…The groups who are enemies forming an alliance. And the reason for that is a fight between dragons. It seems complicated.

[The two dragons that got their fight interrupted became mad. [Don't get in the way of our fight!], [A mere God and Maou shouldn't be interrupting a duel between dragons!] - they responded like idiots. They went head on and tried to eat God, Maou, and the leaders of the fallen-angels. Well, that was a mistake, I guess.]

They seriously are the ultimate and worst dragons. But I get it now. So those two dragons are…

[In the end the two dragons got cut into pieces and their spirits were sealed within human bodies as Sacred Gears. The two dragons that were sealed within humans used them as vessels, they encountered each other and fought each other countless times. Every time one of them won and one of them died. Sometimes one of them was already dead before the other one came and so they didn't fight, but most of the times they did. If the vessel, human, dies then the dragons stop functioning for a certain time. Their spirits float around in this world until the humans with dragon powers are born. That cycle has repeated countless times for many long years.]

''And those two dragons are Ddraig and another one,huh''

[Yeah that's right. The other dragon is called the vanishing dragon. So Issei is the new host of Ddraig. I wonder what's going to happen this time?]

''What you mean by that?''

[You see, their host always fighted till one was dead. And those fights whare so bloody. Where those two fought soon chaos and death followed.]

''I see...''

[But it's first time that I'm witnessing a host like that child...]

''Huh? He is abnormal? He is weird? He is perverted?''

[He is weird but not abnormal. Either way he is a being that is possessed by a dragon. In whatever age and country, Dragons represent power. You know Master, even though they come in many different forms and shapes, there are pictures and carvings of dragons in many different countries? Throughout the ages humans admired dragons, respected dragons, and feared dragons. Unwittingly, dragons fascinate those around them. Or those with power gather around the dragons. If there are people who will come to him with admiration or to challenge him, then it's most likely the power of the dragon.]

"…It sounds like an inconvenient power. So he is going to be targeted by a lot of guys?"

[To fight strong foes that are attracted to power. That's the path of those who possess the dragon-emperor. Women would come to him as well.]

''Are you serious!? Women and Issei!?''

[Yeah, I'm serious. All of the host of those two dragons were surrounded by the opposite sex. I think you call them popular, right? They didn't have to worry about the opposite sex at all.]

''Hangaku I think I will kill Issei ,before Ddraig tells him or he start attracting women''

[Sadly Master. This is already happening that Gremory girl and former nun are already attracted to him]

Not Asia! That girls is to pure for this world! If Issei lays a hand on her I will kill him, I will definitely kill him!

''Oh yeah...By the way is the 'Vanishing Dragon' strong?''

[He's strong. To begin with, they had powers that could even dominate God and Maou. It's just that they had a curse put on them when they got turned into Sacred Gears. They are in a tight situation to release their full powers. Even so, if Issei get used to it, high-class devils and high ranked angels are nothing against them.]

''This all is really troublesome...''

I sighted

[Indeed ,Master.]

''Hangaku I will be borrowing your powers!''

[Use me as you see fit ,Master]

"Ou! Let's work together Hangaku!"

[Yes,Master.]

Like this me and the Hangaku made a promise for our new objective at midnight.

Line Break

It's my date with Akeno-san today. Currently I'm walking to Akeno's room in ORC ,she said that she has to help Issei scatter the powers of a dragon and then we will go.

I quickly opened the doors to Akeno's room and went in. there is a tatami (A/N:Japanese flooring) on the floor, and it looks like a traditional Japanese room. I was walking to the middle of the room and noticed Issei sitting on the sofa I went closer to him when I noticed that he was with his upper body naked and Akeno-san was sucking his fingers.

When I saw Issei's perverted grin something snapped in me.

''Hohohoho, what do we have here?''

I said putting my hand on his shoulder and squeezing it. He was hurting ,i noticed that by his pained expression

''...T-Toyohisa-kun!?...Why are your eyes red and steam coming from your mouth...? What's with the sword?...T-Toyohisa?''

His expression was that of pure fear.

''Do you know about 100 strikes technique?''

I said already drawing my nodachi

''...N-no''

He was almost on the verge of tears

''I'm so happy Issei... Don't worry it won't hurt ,100 strikes technique principle is slow death. I will cut you avoiding blood vessels and nerves so you can live as much as you can ,but sadly no one lived till 36 strike, I wonder with that dragon body of yours how many slashes will I be able to make...''

''Eeeeeeeeh!?...I forgot something that I had to ,silly me. Bye!''

He quickly grabbed his shirt and dashed through the door at the speed of light.

Damn... I really wanted to see how much will he last.

''Akeno-san he didn't do anything to you?...''

BUHAA!

There was blood coming out of my nose! Of course! Even I have a dozen of liters of blood coming out, it still won't stop!

Akeno-san was with a white cloth on. She had her usual ponytail united as well, but Akeno-san with her hair down looks fascinating and attractive! he white cloth that is covering Akeno-san's body is soaked with water…! Her long black hair is also sticking to the cloth and it looks sexy! I can see her skin! If I can see it like this a certain "thing" of mine is going to change…! I mean I can see it! I can see it through the cloth! The pink coloured thing! I can see her nipples! Wait, she doesn't have her bra on!?

''Ara ara. Did something happen? You suddenly became quiet… Is something wrong with what I am wearing? The reason why it is soaked is because I put water onto myself for the ritual. Is it weird?"

Akeno-san started to pat herself on her chest on purpose. It's affecting my crotch…

"No, no! You look really great in it!"

I couldn't help myself staring at Akeno-san's chest. It's just that her see-through clothes are too stimulating for me… Huh? Is it just me or isn't she wearing anything down there as well…? I then looked around her hips… I became speechless. She isn't wearing anything…I think. She doesn't seem to be shy about it and isn't even trying to hide it! It's more like she is enjoying my reaction!

''I'm still mad at you!''

I said while looking away this simulation is to much for me!

''Ara ara. I was just helping him, you know that you are my favourite kouhai''

She said while hugging me from behind. I-I can feel her naked breast against my back! My crotch won't be able to handle all the pressure if this continues...

''Akeno we should go or the shops will close down...''

It was a lie obviously and she knew that , I just wanted her to realise me ,because I don't know for how long will I be able to keep my sanity.

''Hmm... i guess you're right. I will go dry and dress myself. Wait in here for a bit''

She then hurried of, realising me in the process. I just let out a deep breath and sited down on the sofa while waiting for her.

After 10 or so minutes she came out. Wearing a white blouse that showed of her cleavage and really tight black jeans that perfectly showed up he hips and ass ,in other words she was sexy as hell.

''...Beautiful...''

I accidently said it out loud! I quickly closed my mouth with my hand stopping it for talking.

''Thank you ,Toyohisa''

She said with a giggle and landed a kiss to my cheek.

''Women like when you praise them. Now shall we go To-yo-hi-sa?''

She said my name seducetuvily.

''Y-yes''

I said. She then clinged to my arm and we went off...

Our date went well as a...date. It was really normal. Going to cinema, then going to shop there and there,the only abnormal thing was how much things Akeno-san bought. When i asked her about it she replied ''A Woman always needs to have clothes for every day of the month... And shoes'' So being a gentleman I was carrying all those bags. Seriously how can women buy so much!? I could barely even feel my arms from carrying all that weight.

Currently we are at the cafe. I put down all the bags and sited down. Ahhhh the bliss of a chair! Then we ordered somethings, I order green tea and Akeno-san ordered strawberry cake.

''You're still angry about that?''

She said to me while eating her cake. I just turned away and gave her the silent treatment

''It was the only and efficient way to scatter Issei's dragon powers''

I still didn't answer her.

''Two can play of that game''

At her words I believed that she will stay silent and won't talk to me, but that didn't happen! Instead she sat down on my knees facing me and with one hand she made me look at her.

''Toyohisa I don't need other men when I have you. I only helped Issei ,if you want I won't do that again''

She said to me with sad eyes.

''Akeno...''

I said while our lips went closer to each other.

PHONE!

Before our lips met something was calling.

''Tsk...''

Was I heard when she moved down for me. She then picked the phone , while I sitted thee puzzled at what just happened. In the end she ended the call

''So what called?''

I asked her. Put she didn't say anything just teleported the bags out.

''Toyohisa come tomorrow to the Occult research Club room''

She sounded all angry. I then she teleported out leaving me.

Line Break

The next day after school.

We, the members of Gremory group and I, were gathered in the club room. On the sofa, Buchou with Akeno-san and the two "guests" were sitting,Akeno-san was murmuring something like ''...Ruining my date with Toyohisa like that...I will kill them''. The other members of the group including myself were sitting in the corner of the room listening to their conversation. Ever since those two came to the club room, I noticed that they , can't stop but feel something. Their instincts as devils were telling told that they were dangerous. Rias and Akeno-san were talking to them with a serious face. But the most dangerous one was Kiba. He was glaring at them grudgingly. If something were to happen… No. He looked as if he was about to go slashing at them any moment. They were the believers of God that Kiba hates. If you knew his past, then you would know that he was brimming with hatred now. Under this atmosphere, the first one to talk was girl named Shidou Irina.

"Recently the Holy-swords Excaliburs that were kept by the Catholic Church Headquarter Vatican, Protestant Church, and Eastern Orthodox Church were stolen."

Excalibur was stolen? And Catholic, and Protestant…? If I remember correctly, I was told in a lecture at school that there were different factions within the Christian religion. But how can Excalibur be stolen from Catholic, Protestant and Eastern Orthodox? It's in one location isn't it?

"Excalibur itself doesn't exist."

The one who answered my doubt was Rias. Arara, looks like Rias-san can read what I am thinking.

"I'm sorry. One of my servants recently became a devil, so can we continue this conversation while explaining about Excalibur?"

Shidou Irina nodded at Rias's request.

"Ise-kun. Excalibur broke in the war a long time ago."

Irina looked at Issei and said that. Huh? Broke? The holy-sword did? Even if it's a sword who has man tales on it?

"Now it looks like this."

The woman with blue-hair and green mesh got her weapon, which was covered in cloth, and revealed it to me. What appeared was a longsword.

"This is Excalibur."

The moment Issei looked at it, he was shivering with fear. He became scared of a single sword. If this scares him that much I understood that a devil would die instantly just from its touch! Is this a holy-sword? Is this the ultimate weapon to kill devils?

"Excalibur was broken into pieces during the war a long time ago. The fragments were collected and turned into a new form by alchemy. It was made into 7 swords. This is one of them."

Then this Excalibur wasn't a real one, but a new one that was made afterwards.

"The Excalibur I hold is "Excalibur Destruction". It's one of the 7 holy-swords that were created. The Catholic Church is in control of it."

The woman with a mesh put her sword away and wrapped it with a cloth. If I look carefully there were spell symbols on the cloth. Does she have it sealed usually? But it doesn't change the fact that it's dangerous. Irina also took out something that looked like a long rope. That rope started to move as if it were alive.

…! The rope changed its shape right in front of me and turned into a katana.

"Mine is "Excalibur Mimic". I can change its shape into anything I want so it's really useful for carrying around. Just like this, each "Excalibur" has its unique ability. This one is in the possession of the Protestant Church."

She said it with pride. I could feel fear in Issei due to that Excalibur as well. That was also really dangerous to us devils.

Irina… There's no reason to tell these devils the ability of Excalibur, is there?"

"Ara Xenovia. Even if they are devils we still have to form a trustworthy relationship with them in this situation. Also, even if my sword's ability is revealed, I won't fall behind all the devils here."

Shidou Irina said confidently. She probably had the confidence that she absolutely would not lose to us. But for two of the legendary holy-swords to be here! Wow! Isn't this a serious situation!? Then I realised the presence coming from near me.

It was Kiba. He was glaring at the Excaliburs and the two women with a scary face that I had never seen before. That's right… Kiba holds a grudge against Excalibur. I hadn't even dreamed that I would witness an Excalibur in a place like this. Kiba probably never thought that he would encounter the Excaliburs here. And now it was right here in front of him. He must have been going crazy. Calm down. Don't go jumping at them Kiba. Rias is talking professionally with the enemy. If you jump in now, then it would all be in vain! The worst case would be the start of a battle. There's no way that there would be no casualties against the Excaliburs.

"…So what does the stolen Excaliburs have to do with this country located in the east of the World?"

''Irina… There's no reason to tell these devils the ability of Excalibur, is there?"

Rias continued to talk with the same attitude. As expected from our onee-sama. She isn't backing down even if it's an Excalibur in front of her! She is holding her ground! The girl with blue hair and a green mesh with scary eyes—I think her name was Xenovia—continued to talk.

"The Catholic Church was in possession of two Excaliburs including mine. The Protestant Church also had two. Also in the Eastern Orthodox Church there were two as well. The last one went missing in the previous war between God, devils, and fallen-angels. One Excalibur was stolen from each Church. The ones that stole them escaped to Japan, and brought them to this town."

Hey, hey. So the holy-swords thief has taken a liking to this town huh? Rias also put her hand on her forehead and took a breath.

"Looks like my territory is full of incidents. So who are the ones that stole the Excaliburs?"

"The ones that stole them were the Grigori."

Rias-san widened her eyes in surprise at the answer. I couldn't believe it too.

"The holy-swords were taken by the fallen-angel organisation? It's not a matter of mistake. But certainly it would be the fallen-angels when it comes to stealing them. For the devils working at the top, holy-swords does not give them much interest."

"We know the main culprit who stole the Excaliburs. One of the leaders of Grigori, Kokabiel."

"Kokabiel… One of the leaders of the fallen-angels that survived the previous wars since ancient times… I never expected to hear the name of the one that appears in the Bible."

Rias-san also smirked at the name. Wait, the leader of the fallen-angels!?Wait isn't Azazel the leader of fallen-angels!?I remember he told me that here whare of them! Oh my God... Not only do we have the Excalibur, but also the leader of the fallen-angels? Th…then what was the reason they came here for? Was it for cooperation…?

"We sent priests, exorcists, to this town secretly but they kept getting killed."

Xenovia said that. Are you serious? There were violent incidents like that occurring and we didn't know about it…? Then is it a request for cooperation? Did they come to ask for the help of the high-class devil who is in charge of this territory? But what the two women said clearly betrayed my guesses.

"Our request… No. Our order is to not to have any devils intrude in the battle between us and the fallen-angels for the Excaliburs. In other words, we came here to tell you not to interfere with this incident."

Rias's eyes changed after hearing the way Xenovia talked.

"Such manner of speech. Is it restraint? Are you thinking that we might collaborate with those fallen-angels? Perhaps that we might team up with them to do something with Excalibur?"

"The headquarters think that it might not be impossible."

There were chills within Rias eyes . She was quite pissed! An enemy comes all the way to her territory. Then tells her not to be involved and not to butt in. Also they said whatever they wanted to by saying that they would not forgive us if we formed an alliance with the fallen-angels. Rias's pride as a high-class devil wouldn't allow her to keep quiet about it.

"The higher-ups don't trust devils and fallen-angels. We were ordered as [If the holy-swords are taken away from God's side then the devils would also be happy right? The fallen-angels would also profit from it. For those reasons it won't be weird for them to form an alliance. That's why we are giving you a warning. If you form an alliance with the fallen-angel Kokabiel then we will eliminate you all. Even if you're the little sister of the Maou, by our boss."

Xenovia said it casually without caring about Rias's glare.

"…If you know that I am the sister of a Maou, then it means that you have lots of connections with the higher-ups in the Church. Then I will say it. We will not form an alliance with the fallen-angels. Never. In the name of the Gremory house. I will not do something that would tarnish the name of our Maou!"

It had become a contentious situation for both sides. But Xenovia laughed.

"Fu. Hearing that is good enough. I had to warn you just in case that Kokabiel is hiding himself in this town along with the three Excaliburs. If something were to happen I would be the one to be hated by the bunch in the Church headquarters. Well, we won't ask for cooperation. If you were to form an alliance with God's side temporally, then it would affect the balance of the three factions. Especially if it's the little sister of a Maou."

After hearing Xenovia, Rias softened her expression and took a breath.

"Where is the person the Orthodox Church dispatched?"

Xenovia answered Rias-san's question,

"They have that person put on hold for this case. They are planning to protect the last Excalibur if Irina and I fail."

"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?"

Rias said it with an amazed voice. But Shidou 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."

What determination! Was this their beliefs? Pretty amazing. Something that I didn't understand at all. These guys wanted to die for God that badly?

"Is it possible with only the two of you?"

"Well, we won't die in vain."

Xenovia said fearlessly to Rias's question.

"You seem confident. Do you have a secret weapon?"

"Maybe. I will leave it to your imagination."

"…"

"…"

After that, the two of them just stared at each other and the conversation stopped. Shidou 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's offer with her hand.

"I'm sorry. See you."

Shidou Irina also apologised with her hand. They didn't try to accept Rias's 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 Issei'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. Asia's body shook after she was called "Witch". That word is something painful to Asia. Irina seemed like she noticed as well and stared at Asia.

"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."

"…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?"

"Xenovia. There's no way that she, who became a devil, still believes in God."

Shidou Irina said it with an amazed face.

"No, I can smell the "belief" from her. It might be an abstract way of saying it. But I'm sensitive to these things. There are people who betray the teachings and still have guilt within them because they couldn't forget the teachings. I can feel something similar coming from her."

Xenovia said it with sharp eyes and Irina stared at Asia even more with interested eyes.

"Is that true? Asia-san, you still believe in God even if you have turned into a devil?"

Asia replied to that question with a sad expression,

"…I just can't put it aside. I believed in it for my whole life…"

Hearing that, Xenovia took her sword out from the cloth and pointed it at Asia

"Is that so. Then you should be cut down by us this instant. If it's now, I can cut you in the name of God. Even if you have sinned, our God will forgive you."

…I couldn't stop something within me from burning. Xenovia approached Asia. I stood in front of Asia to protect her.

"If a finger touches you, you both are dead."

I said it clearly to Xenovia,

"If you come close to Asia, I won't forgive you. You called Asia a "Witch" didn't you?"

Issei called out standing by my side.

"Yes I have. Right now she is a being at least fit to be called a "Witch"."

Th…this bitch!? I bit my tooth really hard and made a noise with my teeth because of the anger I had towards her.

"Don't fuck around! Not even a single person helped her when she needed help! Those who can't understand Asia's kindness are a bunch of idiots! It's also wrong that none of them tried to become her friend!"

"Do you think the "Holy-maiden" needed friends? What's important is the charity to others. The "Holy-maidens" are finished when they seek friendship and love from others. She could have continued to live with the love from God. So Asia Argento didn't have the right to be a "Holy-maiden" from the beginning."

Xenovia said it as if it was an obvious thing. Shit! What the heck is with these guys! I couldn't understand them! I didn't want to understand them either! How could they say that Asia was the bad one!?

"So you guys selfishly made her into a "Holy-maiden" and abandon her because she's different from those who seek her? That's fucked up… It fuckin is!"

Issei said that. He really surprised me there. Then he continued

"None of you know what she went through! What God!? What love!? That God didn't do jack shit when Asia was in a dangerous situation!"

But Xenovia answered calmly.

"God loved her. If nothing happened then it means that she didn't believe in him enough, or her belief was fake."

Are the people in the Church all like this? Was Asia living among these guys? Don't screw around… Don't screw around.

"What are you to Asia?"

"Family. Friend. Comrade. That's why I will help Asia. I will protect Asia! If you try to lay a hand on her, I will turn all of you into my enemies."

Xenovia sharpened her eyes at Issei .

"Is that a declaration to us…all of those in the Church? Something big coming out from a single devil. Gremory. I think you didn't educate him enough?"

"Ise, sto…"

Buchou tried to calm Issei, but Kiba and I stood in front of him.

"That's good timing. I will be your opponent."

''I will defeat you both and make you apologize to Asia.''

Kiba was 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.

Line Break

Hmmmm. So how did it turn out like this?

I was standing at the place where apparently ORC practised for the ball tournament. Kiba was standing a bit away from Issei. And Shidou Irina and Xenovia were standing in front of them. Enveloping them and their surroundings was a barrier made from red aura. The other members and me were looking at them from outside the barrier.

"Then let's start."

Irina and Xenovia took their white robe off and were wearing black battle purpose clothes. They weren't showing their skins but it looked…erotic… You could see the curves of their bodies. My thought were interrupted as Akeno-san delivered a elbow to my side nearly knocking my out.

I will explain how it turned out like this.

While I was arguing with the two holy-sword wielders, Kiba came in and it got worse. Rias also seemed troubled about keeping the situation under control because it was us, her servants and me who had started the fight. Then Xenovia made a suggestion.

"It might be interesting to test the strength of Rias Gremory's servants. Also, I'm interested in the strength of the so called senpai."

Xenovia accepted Kiba's challenge. She also added that this battle wouldn't be reported to the Church. Apparently they understood our position a little bit, so they made it so that it wouldn't be a problem if it was not a fight for life. The location was the place we practiced for the ball tournament near the old school building. To avoid unnecessary damage and getting noticed by others, Akeno-san put up a barrier for us. With this we could fight a bit more recklessly. And I was not participating in the battle… Why? Because I'm regular human or something else? That's absurd… I was certainly pissed because they were talking shit about Asia. But I never thought that it would turn into a battle like this. I and Issei whare actually going to stop when Rias came in to stop us both… It turned out like this because Kiba came into the argument…

"Even if it's just a match, be cautious of the holy-swords!"

Rias's warning reached Issei.

"Y-yes!"

He replied to her, but he was trembling because he remembered the video "The threat of the holy-swords collection" that we watched before the battle. It seemed like a record of battles between a person wielding a holy-sword and a high-class devil. The devil that was cut by the holy-sword had smoke coming out of the wounds made by the holy-sword. And did you know that the part where it was cut vanished? Just like the word means, it actually vanished. A devil would be eliminated if they were cut by a holy-sword. Their body will vanish. Now that I think about it ,let them cut Issei! Kiba on the other hand had activated his Sacred gear and there were several demonic-swords around him.

"…Are you laughing?"

Kiba was laughing so much that it looked weird. A smile that made the atmosphere cold. There wasn't any trace of the refreshing smile he usually has. That much… Do you hate the Excalibur that much…?

"Yeah. The thing I wanted to defeat and destroy appeared right in front of me. I'm happy. Fufufu, I had even heard that by being close to a devil and a dragon, "powers" would gather. But for me to encounter it this early."

Hangaku had said something similar as well. Lots of things will gather, being attracted to the power of a dragon. So this happened because of Issei…and Ddraig? No, it can't be…

"…"Sword Birth", huh. The possessor can create any demonic-sword they imagine in their head. It's unique among the Demonic-sword related Sacred Gears… I heard that there was a "subject" that avoided from being disposed by the "Holy-sword Project"… Is that you?"

Kiba didn't answer Xenovia's question. He just directed his killing intent towards her. Hey, hey. Killing is prohibited, you know? Kiba, I beg you to make sure that it remains as a match. If it gets beyond that, wouldn't it affect the relationship between devils and God?

"Hyoudou Issei-kun."

The one standing in front of Issei was Shidou Irina. The girl with a chestnut coloured hair. She has a nice body, so she's definitely Issei's type. What even I'm thinking about...Every girls is Issei's type...

"When I met the boy that I haven't seen for so long, and he turned into a devil… I was shocked."

She seemed really depressed.

"Ummmm Shidou Irina… Can I call you Irina? Do we have to fight? I already said what I wanted to regarding what you said about Asia. I don't think we have to battle."

It was his opinion. There were things he and I wanted to say to the people from the church regarding Asia. There was a part of him that felt relieved saying it today. Well, if they said anything bad about Asia again then I would murder them. I don't take other people talking ill about my friends. But Irina looked at Issei with a pitiful face. More like there was a single drop of tear falling down her cheek.

"A pitiful Hyoudou Issei-kun. No, I will call you Ise-kun since I knew you since a long time ago. And what trick has destiny played on us! I went to England because I found out that I can use holy-swords, and I thought that I could be a representative of God! Aaah, this also must be a trial that God has given me! The land that I haven't been back in for so long! A harsh destiny where my childhood friend has turned into a devil! The way time moves is harsh! But by moving forward, I will turn into someone with the true belief towards God! Now Ise-kun! I will give judgment to you with this Excalibur! Amen!"

Even though Irina was shedding tears, she seemed really eager to do it and pointed her sword at Issei. Huh!? Huuuuh!? Th…this girl kept on saying something hard to understand! Oooh! Her eyes were sparkling like a star! Did she get drunk with her beliefs? Was she enjoying this situation? Wow! This is a type of girl you should never get involved with!?

"I don't actually know what you are on about. But! Activate Boosted Gear!"

[Boost!]

It made a red glow and a gauntlet appeared on Issei's left arm. It also made a sound at the same time and increased his power. His Sacred Gear has the ability to double my power every 10 seconds. He just have to activate my Sacred Gear beforehand. If she did something before that then he couldn't have done a thing. Irina and Xenovia seemed shocked after seeing his Sacred Gear. Well I was too when I learned about it from Hankagu.

"…Longinus."

"Is that a "Boosted Gear"? I never thought that I would meet the person possessed by the Welsh Dragon in a far eastern country like this…"

Both of them raised their eyebrows.

"You will hurt yourself if your attention is on Ise-kun!"

CLASH!

Kiba went on slashing towards Xenovia. The holy-sword and demonic-sword made sparks. Xenovia smirked after blocking Kiba's strike.

"Sacred Gear "Sword Rebirth" and "Boosted Gear". And also the "Twilight Healing" that Asia Argento has. All of them are Sacred Gear that are said to be a heresy to us. Maybe it was natural for you to turn into a devil."

"My power is also the power made by my comrades' hatred, who were killed while filled with regret! I will beat those with Excalibur with this power, and I will destroy that Excalibur!"

So Kiba also vowed the revenge of the test subjects that were killed by that project.

"Here I come, Ise-kun!"

Irina rushed in slashing towards Issei. She moves good! She came slashing at me seriously! If Issei gets cut by that, a devil like he would receive a critical damage, wouldn't it? A direct hit is bad for him. It can easily kill him in one hit.

"I'm not done yet!"

He was increasing my power while evading her katana.

[Boost!]

Now his power was doubled again. But it seemed like he was still lacking power to fight her! How much should he boost? Shit! He moves like a amatuer he will be killed quickly at this rate! He just has to keep on evading, and attack after he has boosted his power as much as he can!

"…What a lecherous face. What are you thinking?"

Issei,please for the love of God...This isn't a time for your perverted visions

"…Please be careful. Ise-senpai has the power to blow away the clothes of women he touches."

Koneko-chan!? He has a power like that, isn't this really bad!? Koneko-chan said it while looking at him with rebellious eyes.

"…Enemy of all women. You are the worst."

"Aaah! Those are harsh words Koneko-chan!"

"What a lowly technique! Aaah God. Please forgive this sinful pervert!"

Irina made a sad expression while praying.

"Don't look at me with those pitiful eyes!"

"…You are the worst."

I'm sorry Koneko-chan. Sorry for him being perverted!

"Ise-san! If you were craving for a woman's body, then you could have said it to me…! I wouldn't mind sacrificing my body for Ise-san."

Self sacrifice! Just to be expected from a former Christian, Asia-san! Wait...Asia NOOOO!

"I see. The mass of sexual desire. I think it's a fitting action for a devil that has such strong greed."

Xenovia said it while making a sigh. But she was looking at Issei with scornful eyes!

"I'm sorry."

I don't know why but Kiba apologised to her. There's no need for you to apologise! Kiba created a demonic-sword where he stood and held it. He now had two swords and went towards Xenovia.

"Now back to where we were! Burn! And freeze! "Flare Brand" and "Freeze Mist"!"

One of the demonic-swords created a whirl of flames while the other one made a cold air and silver frost. Kiba is a "Knight". "Knights" traits are their speed. He was attacking with God speed. But Xenovia was evading Kiba's attack, which came from all directions, with the minimum movements.

"The "Knights" swift move. And flame and ice demonic swords. But you are too naïve!

KACHING!

A single swing of Xenovia's turned Kiba's two demonic swords to dust.

"…!"

Kiba became speechless because his demonic-swords were destroyed with a single swing. What destructive power! So that's the holy-sword!

"My sword is a mass of destruction. There's nothing it can't destroy."

Xenovia swirled around her sword. She then pointed it upwards then thrust it into the ground.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Suddenly the place where I was standing shook and the ground was rumbling! I lost my balance and kneeled on the ground. I couldn't stand! There were clouds of dust in the surroundings! There was even dirt flying towards me. And it went onto my face. SPIT! SPIT! I wiped the dirt off my face while spitting out the dirt inside my mouth.

…! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the practice grounds. A crater!? There was a big hole at the place where Xenovia had placed her sword! Don't tell me that it made a crater with one hit!? Just with one slash of the sword!? When Xenovia stabbed the ground with her sword, it didn't seem like she had used too much power.

"This is my Excalibur. It can destroy anything that comes its way. It's not called "Excalibur" for nothing."

…"Excalibur Destruction". So the destructive power was on a different level! Even if it wasn't Kiba's demonic sword, it would get shattered! Kiba made a bitter expression when he saw that.

"…Such a destructive power when it isn't a real Excalibur. So destroying all 7 swords will be a difficult path."

His eyes hadn't lost the colour of hatred yet. Kiba was trying to break all 7 of them! A single sword is that strong you know. I think breaking it would be hard even for Kiba. Seriously, I was getting sick of this world because there are so many people stronger than me.

[Boost!]

The third boost!

"Geez! I'm all covered in dirt because you destroyed the ground, Xenovia!"

Irina wiped the dirt off her clothes while complaining.

"But. It's about time to settle this now!

She pointed her sword at Issei and dashed towards Issei! Fast! She closed the distance instantly! Even if she wasn't as fast as Kiba, she was definitely faster than me! Issei will run out of stamina if he fight like that!

"You are doing well! You are good at dodging! Seems like your master trained you well!"

"Yeah! My master is strict with my training! That's why I can even keep up with those stronger than me! Just like this!"

[Boost!]

"Let's go Boosted Gear!"

[Explosion!]

he stopped my boost and made it so that he could fight with the power he had increased till now!

HEARTBEAT!

I think I know what he will do!

"Sorry for stripping you."

"Obscene!"

Irina avoided his tackle as if she just protected herself from a molester. She's fast! But he is not giving up! Please just cut Issei to pieces!

"It's not over yet!"

He started to keep up with Irina's movement. She was doing a good job dodging him

"Ise-kun is moving much better than usual."

"…For the lecherous power inside him to increase his stats this much."

Akeno-san and Koneko-chan's comments. They both became amazed at his"power of lecher", and were also shocked. I'm sorry for being him being a lecher! Why even am I apologizing for? Issei should just die here!

"What! You caught up with me!?"

Irina looked surprised. He jumped towards her as if he was diving!

But… Before he reached Irina she ducked down. he couldn't stop my body and he went passed Irina, and went through the barrier heading towards where Asia and Koneko-chan were…

Here, touch. His hand touched both of their shoulders. Then…

STRIP…

Asia and Koneko-chan's uniform blew off. Yes, even their underwear. They both became fully naked. I can't believe I saw this.

DRIP.

There was blood coming out of his nose. What a pervert...Well not that I'm holding it better.

"No!"

Asia hid her body because she became too embarrassed. I'm sorry Asia! Koneko-chan on the other hand… She still looked emotionless but her body started to shake and then she thrust her fist. Oh will I love this!

"Ko…Koneko-chan! You have it wrong! This is a mistake! Well it did work! But I still think that even small oppai are important! Huh? What am I saying? That's not it! It's because Shidou Irina dodged it! I wasn't aiming for you and Asia! B…But thank you very much! I will just thank you just in case…"

"…You super lecher!"

BANG!

"Gufuuuu!"

He received a heavy blow to his stomach. When he violently landed on the ground, he continued to roll on the ground… I quickly gave my jacket to cover herself. She thanked me silently.

POKE POKE.

Irina poked him.

"Ise-kun, are you still alive? I think that it was divine punishment for creating such a move. With this you should have learned that you have to seal lecherous techniques like that. Okay?"

"…No…It's the technique I created by putting all of my talents at magic into it… I'm going to continue blowing away girls clothes… I seriously had a hard time choosing between this move and a move that lets me see through girls' clothes…"

He made a stance against Irina while slowly getting up. Irina I will worship you if you will kill him right now!

"I'm going to continue fighting until I blow away girls clothes just by looking at them!"

He raised his spirit and went towards her!

"To be able to fight just for those motives! Something is definitely wrong with you!"

"Shidou Irina! Sexual desires are a source of power! It's justice!"

"Amen! God, lend me the strength to cut down this lecherous devil!"

Irina held the grip of her holy-sword and came rushing towards him. He lowered himself so he could kick Irina to make her fall from below as she was slashing towards him. Irina noticed it and did a small jump. He kicked the ground so he could get up fast! He then bringet an uppercut to her.

SWING!

His uppercut missed Irina's chin. Irina made sharp eyes. She swung her katana to the side, but he avoided it by jumping backwards. Irina looked at him with a shocked face.

"…I'm sorry. Looks like I was taking you a bit lightly. You have good movements."

Irina made a serious face. He fell down onto the ground…

When I looked at his stomach, there was smoke emitting from it! Is this the damage caused by the holy-sword!? When on earth!? Did he get cut from the attack just now!? It just grazed him and he turn out like this…

"It's the damage caused by the holy-sword. Devils and fallen-angels get their power and existence erased by receiving damage from the holy-sword to their body. If it were a bit deeper, then it would have been critical."

It was just a graze! Does it take that much power from him that he get down on my knees!?

[Reset!]

"If you had another boost, then you could have definitely evaded that attack. We could have had a proper match. You lost because you used your Sacred Gear while not knowing the power difference between yourself and your opponent. A simple mistake can become critical in a serious fight."

"Haaaaaaaaaa!"

Kiba raised his spirit up and tried to make something in his hand. It turned into the shape of a sword, but…

"The destructive power of that holy-sword or the destructive power of my demonic-sword! We will see which one is stronger!"

What appeared in Kiba's hand was a gigantic sword. Kiba held it with both hands while releasing an ominous aura. It's big. It's way longer than Kiba's height. It definitely was more than two meters. Kiba then swung it with force! The slash reached Xenovia, but she made a sigh as if she was really disappointed.

"It's a shame. You made the wrong decision."

GACHIN!

A violent sound of metal! A large fragment of the sword went up in the air. It was Kiba's sword that broke. Xenovia's Excalibur easily destroyed Kiba's demonic sword.

"Your weapon is the variety of the sword you can create and your speed. You would need a lot of strength to swing a gigantic sword like that, and you will lose the speed that you are proud of. Are you seeking a destructive power? From your fighting style, it's something unnecessary. Don't you even know that?"

BANG!

The pommel of the holy-sword hit deep into Kiba's stomach. It was a simple move like that yet it created a shockwave. It meant that even a single attack with a pommel has destructive power.

"Gaha!"

Kiba fell onto the ground after he vomited from his mouth.

"Even if it's not a hit with the blade, that hit just now will be enough to stop you from standing for a while."

Xenovia glared at Kiba once, and turned around.

"…Wa…wait!"

Kiba reached his hands towards her, but everyone here knew that the match was over. Akeno-san unsealed the barrier. The red aura that covered the area disappeared. The battle was over.

"Senpai, I suggest you fight with coolness the next time we fight. Rias Gremory, I trust you with the talk from earlier. Also, you should train your servants a bit more. There's a limit for polishing their battling style."

Kiba glared at Xenovia with hatred. Xenovia then looked at me.

"I will tell you one thing. "Vanishing dragon" has already awakened."

…What did she just say?

"You will meet him eventually, but in your current state you can never win."

Xenovia just said that and left after picking her stuff.

"Wait for me Xenovia. Then it's like that Ise-kun. Tell me whenever you want to get judged. Amen."

Shidou Irina held her cross and winked at me? She then left the scene. Rias closed her eyes. I'm sure that she didn't feel good. Kiba and Issei were ultimately defeated.

Line Break

"Are you okay?"

Asia put her hand on Issei's stomach and healed his wound with her Sacred Gear. Asia was wearing the spare uniform she had in the old school building. She was wearing it because Issei blew her clothes away earlier. The warm green coloured light that was made from her hand surrounded him and healed his wound.

They talked between each other but that wasn't my main focus. I was thinking what if I went ahead against swords like that...What could I do? Well I would put Hangaku against Excalibur destruction , Hangaku can fly so that would be advantage for her against Excalibur. The other problem was Excalibur Mimic I doubt that it can only transform from cloak to katana. I bet that it can shape itself as its user wants which is troublesome...

"Hold on! Yuuto!"

Rias voice snapped me out of my thoughts. When I looked, there was Kiba who seemed like he was trying to leave and an angry Rias. What the? Is Kiba going somewhere?

"I won't forgive you if you leave me! You are the "Knight" of the Gremory group. I will also be troubled if you turn into an "exiled". Wait this instant!"

"…I was able to run away from there, thanks to my comrades. That's why I have to put their regrets into my demonic-swords…"

After saying that Kiba disappeared.

"Yuuto…Why…?"

Rias was really sad...

Line Break

"Aaaaa. And? What was the reason for calling me?"

''I want to know that too''

The next day off.

Issei called Kaichou's "Pawn", turns out everyone in student council is a devil, in front of the train station . The boy Saji seemed listless.

"…They're right. What were you trying to do?"

The one who was holding onto my shirt and wasn't letting go was Koneko-chan. I met her by coincidence when I was on my way to meet Issei in front of the train station. I told her that I was going to meet Issei and asked her if she wanted to tag along. To my surprise she accepted. Issei coughed once, and told three of us.

"I'm going to ask Shidou Irina and Xenovia to give me permission to destroy the holy-sword Excaliburs."

Not only me,Saji, but Koneko-chan also became really shocked that even they had circle eyes.

Line Break

"Nooooooooo! I'm going home!"

Saji was screaming and trying to run away. Koneko-chan held onto him and didn't let him go. When Issei suggested the plan to destroy Excalibur, Koneko-chan and I thought about it and agreed.

''I will help as well. It's about Yuuto-senpai, right?''

As expected of Koneko-chan! Saji on the other hand turned blue and tried to run away immediately. And Koneko-chan caught him. I'm still amazed by Koneko-chan's strength

"Hyoudou! Why me!? It's your group's problem, right!? I belong to the House of Sitri! I shouldn't take part in this! Not at all!"

Saji argued while crying.

"Don't say that Saji. The only Devil that I know who seems willing to help me is you."

"Bullshit! There's no way that I will help youuuu! I'm going to get killed! I'm going to get killed by Kaichouuuuu!"

Oooh, the fear you have towards Kaichou is appearing on your face. Kaichou must be really scary, huh.

"Your master, Rias-senpai, might be strict and kind! But you know what! You know Kaichou!? She's strict AND strict!"

So Kaichou is strict, huh. That's good for you. After I made up my mind, I went looking for Shidou Irina and Xenovia inside the town with Issei,Koneko-chan and Saji.

"Hey Koneko-chan. You know that Kiba is a victim of the "Holy-sword Project" and also harbours a grudge towards Excalibur, right?"

Koneko-chan nodded at Issei's question.

"When Irina and Xenovia came to us, they said this."

''The Church decided that it would be better to eliminate all the Excaliburs rather than letting them be used by the Fallen-Angels. Our minimum objective is to get the Excaliburs away from the Fallen-Angels.''

"So in other words they have to destroy the stolen Excaliburs or retrieve them, right?"

"…Yes. That's right."

"That's why I thought we could help them retrieve those. By making Kiba the main person. Three swords were stolen, so they won't mind if we retrieve or break one of them."

"…You want Yuuto-senpai to overcome Excalibur and to fulfil his wish, right?"

That's right. I nodded my head with a smile. If that happened, then Kiba would accomplish his revenge and everything would be okay.

"Kiba wants to win against Excalibur and accomplish his and his former comrades' revenge. Xenovia and Irina want to retrieve the Excaliburs from the Fallen-Angels even if they have to destroy them. We have the same aim then. What's left is to see if those two will listen to the words of us Devils."

"…It seems hard."

"Hmmmm yeah."

It was just like Koneko-chan said. To tell you the truth, the possibility of it happening wasn't that high. And also…

"…It's a secret from Buchou and the other members."

Yeah. It was just like she said. We couldn't let this to be known by Rias-san and Akeno-san. Rias-san would definitely disapprove.

''Even if it's for Yuuto's sake, we can't put our neck in the problems involving Angels.''

That's what she would say. She is a high-class Devil after all, so she would be strict about this stuff. We also had to keep it a secret from Asia. She's the type who can't hide things. She'd be bad at lying as well.

"…When we go and talk to them it might lead to a fight and the tension between us and them might get even worse."

It would be the end if that happened. I would have to do something even if I had to risk my life. I might die then…

"That's why you can leave, Koneko-chan. Saji. You can also run away if it gets dangerous. Me and Issei will take care of everything."

"Let me run nowwww! That's the worst! I'd get killed by Kaichou if I do something like destroying the Excaliburs without her permission! She will definitely torture meeeeee!"

Now now. Don't cry and stick with me. You can run away if it gets dangerous.

"Maybe the negotiation will be a success. If that happens, then I want you to help me."

"Uwaaaaaa! That's so irresponsible! I'll die! I'd definitely get killed!"

You are right. But Issei trust you ,so will I.

"I won't run away. It's for our comrade."

…Koneko-chan said it to me with eyes filled with strength. This girl… No matter what she says, she's always burning inside. She was also in high spirits in the match against Phoenix. I think her feelings towards comrades are very strong.

Twenty minutes after looking for them in the town. It wouldn't be easy to find two women wearing white robes in an undercover mission…

"Please give blessings to the lost lamb-"

"Please give charity to us on behalf of the father in heaven!"

We found them easily. There were two girls wearing white robes, praying on the road. Wow. They were standing out. It was easy to find them. It looked like they were quite troubled. People walking past them were giving them odd glances.

"How can this be? This is the reality of the developed country of Japan? That's why I don't like countries that don't have the smell of our beliefs."

"Don't say that, Xenovia. We lost all the money we had. So we have to rely on charity from these heretics or else we can't get food, you know? Aaah, we can't even buy a single loaf of bread!"

"Hmph. It all happened because you bought that fake looking painting."

Xenovia pointed at a painting of a saint that was drawn really badly. What the heck was that? Did they get cheated in a fake exhibition?

"What are you saying? This painting has the drawing of someone who looks like a saint! That's what the person in the exhibition said as well!"

"Then do you know who the person in the drawing is? I certainly don't."

The person in the picture certainly looked like a foreigner and was wearing poor clothing and had something on his head. There was also a baby Angel on the background with a trumpet who was floating in the air.

"…I think it's…Saint…Peter…?"

"Don't mess around. Saint Peter wouldn't look like this."

"No, he must have looked like this! I'm sure about it!"

"Aaah, why did my partner have to be someone like you…God, is this also a trial?"

"Hey don't hold your head down. You really get depressed when you are down, don't you."

"Shut up! That's why the Protestants are called heretics! You guys have different beliefs than us Catholics! Show more respect to the saints!"

"What! What's wrong, it is Catholicism where they still abide by the old law!"

"What did you say, heretic?"

"What did you say, heretic!?"

Those two started to argue by banging their heads against each other…

RUMBLE.

Then we heard the sound of their stomachs rumble when we were a distance away from them. The two of them dropped onto the ground with their stomachs rumbling.

"…First of all, let's do something to fill our stomachs. Or else it's not a matter of retrieving the Excaliburs."

"…You are right. Do you want to get money from the heretics by threatening them? I think God will forgive us if we threaten the heretics."

"Do you plan to attack the shrine? Or do you plan to steal their offertory box? Don't do either. Let's use our swords to put on a performance. It's an international entertainment that works in every country."

"That's an excellent idea! If we can cut fruits with our Excaliburs, then we can gather cash!"

"Well, we don't have fruits. It can't be helped. Let's cut that picture."

"No! You can't cut this down!"

The two of them started arguing again. I went towards both of them even though I was getting a headache. Seriously. They didn't seem like the girls I had an argument with in the ORC clubroom just a few days ago.

Line Break

"Delicious! Japanese cuisine is delicious!"

"Yes, yes! This is it! This is the taste of the food of my homeland!"

Irina and Xenovia started to fill their stomachs with the food they ordered at a family restaurant. Man they eat a lot. Are they really assassins sent from the Christian Church?

When they saw us earlier, they looked at us with hungry eyes.

"Ummm…we are going to eat now, so do you guys want to come as well?"

When Issei asked them, they said "okay" straight away.

''We sold our souls to the Devils.''

''This is also to accomplish our mission.''

They were saying something like that while we were on our way here. Issei was worried about my money but I and Koneko-chan said we would also pay. But I declined Koneko-chan's offer. It's not manly if I make a girl pay! Especially since she is my junior! After seeing these two eating Issei would be in deep shit if we didn't pay together. Th…this is also for greater good. It's for my friends. Damnnnn you Kibaaaa! I'm going through all of this shit for you! I'm definitely going to make Kiba own me,mark my words Kiba!

"Phew. Now I'm calm. It's the end of the world to get helped by a Devil."

That was what Xenovia said.

"Hey. We are treating you to food and that's what you say?"

''And to make clear I'm not devil ,but a human''

Issei and I said. Both exorcist game a glare and said something

''That's why I didn't feel evil from him''

''Poor soul ,corrupted by the devils ,may God forgive him''

After eating last plate of food.

"Pheeeew! Thank you for the meal. Aaaah God, please give charity to these Devils."

Irina said while using her cross.

At that moment Issei got a headache. The same thing happened to Koneko-chan and Saji so they were touching their head as well. Seems like Devils received some damage because she used her cross.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I did it without thinking."

Irina smiled with a cute face. These two look like a bishoujo if you look at them normally. Xenovia drank a cup of water and took a deep breath. She then asked.

"So, why did you come to us?"

! I never thought she would get right to it. Well, it didn't look like we met them by coincidence. Issei then started talking.

"You two came to this country to retrieve the Excaliburs, right?"

"That's right. We already told you that before."

Both of them didn't seem like they were giving us hostile intent because they had just finished their food. There was no point battling us in this family restaurant, and even if we did battle they were confident that they could beat us with ease.

"I want to help you destroy the Excaliburs."

Both of them looked surprised at what Issei just said. They were also looking at each other.

GULP.

I swallowed my saliva and waited for their decision. Wow, If they reject us then we are in deep shit. It might turn into a battle between Angels, Fallen-Angels and Devils! To think about it, the Excaliburs are supposed to be quite an important thing. And to destroy that together with Devils might be an insult to them, perhaps? I was getting worried about things like that, when Xenovia opened her mouth.

"Yeah. Maybe it's okay leaving one sword to you guys. If you can destroy it, that is. But make sure that your identities aren't revealed. We also don't want our high-ups and enemies to think that we are connected to you guys."

…I just opened my mouth because I didn't expect that she would give us permission like that. Is it alright? Are you serious? For real?

"Hey Xenovia. Are you sure? Even if it's Ise-kun, he's still a Devil, you know?"

Irina raised an objection. Well that's the normal response.

"Irina. To tell you the truth, it would really be tough to retrieve the three Excaliburs and to battle Kokabiel with only the two of us."

"I know that. But...!"

"The minimum objectives we have to achieve are destroying the three Excaliburs or take them back. If our Excaliburs are going to be stolen as well then we should break them before it happens. Even if we use the last resort, there's only a 30 percent chance that we will succeed in our mission and return home safely."

"Even so, we thought that the success rate was high enough to come to this country prepared to put our life on the line."

"Yeah. The high-ups also told us to continue with our mission as well and dispatched us to this country. It's almost self-sacrifice."

"And isn't that what we, the followers, desire for?"

"I changed my mind. My beliefs are flexible. So I can act in the best way."

"You! I have been thinking about it for a long time, but your faith is a bit weird!"

"I won't deny it. But I think that it's our duty to accomplish our mission and return safely. I'm going to live and continue fighting for God. Am I wrong?"

"…You are not wrong. But..."

"That's why we won't ask for help from the Devils. Instead we ask for help from a Dragon and a human. The high-ups didn't tell us not to borrow the strength of a Dragon and human."

Xenovia then looked at Issei and me. Dragon and human… She was talking about Issei and me.

"I never thought that I would meet Sekiryuutei in a distant country like this. Even if you turned into a Devil, I see that the dragon power within you is still present. If it's like the legend says, then you can increase your power to that of a Maou, correct? If you gain a power to that of a Maou, then you can break the Excaliburs without a sweat. I also think that it was God's doing that we had this meeting."

Xenovia said joyfully.

"C-Certainly they didn't tell us not to borrow the power of a Dragon… But you are just saying nonsense! Your belief is certainly weird!"

"Weird is fine with me. But, Irina. He's your childhood friend, right? Let's trust him. The power of a Dragon."

Irina became silent at Xenovia's words, but her expression showed that she was okay with it for now. Oh! It's okay then? Are you serious?.

"Okay. The negotiation is a success. I will lend you guys my Dragon's power. Then can I call my partner for this cooperation, then?"

Issei got his phone out and called Kiba.

"…I understand the situation."

Kiba put his mouth on the coffee after he made a sigh. We called Kiba to the family restaurant.

''I'm with those two Excalibur wielders. I want you to come here as well Kiba.''

When he said that, he came here without any complaint.

"To tell the truth, I feel unsatisfied when the wielders of the Excaliburs are giving me the permission to destroy it."

"That's a rough way to speak. If you were a "Stray-Devil", I would have cut you down without any time to spare."

Kiba and Xenovia glared at each other. Hey, hey. Let's not fight before the co-operation strategy.

"So you do hold a grudge regarding the "Holy-sword Project". Against the church and the Excaliburs."

Kiba sharpened his eyes at Irina's words.

"Obviously."

He replied with a low and cold voice.

"But Kiba-kun. Thanks to that project, the research on holy-sword users showed results. That's why it created people like Xenovia and I who can synchronise with the holy swords."

"Do you think it's a forgiving act to kill all the test subjects because the project was thought to be a failure?"

Kiba looked at Irina with eyes filled with hatred. Certainly killing them is cruel. It's too cruel. I think that it's an inhuman act for those who believe in God. Even Irina didn't know how to respond. Then Xenovia spoke,

"That incident also became one of the worst cases among us and people felt disgusted about it. The person in charge of that project at that time was said to have a problem with his belief. So he was charged with heresy. Now he's one of those people on the Fallen-Angels side."

"On the Fallen-Angel's side? What's the name of that person?"

Kiba took interest and asked Xenovia.

"…Balba Galilei. The man who is called the "Genocide Archbishop"."

Balba. So that's the name of Kiba's enemy.

"…If I go after Fallen-Angels, then can I reach him…"

Kiba's eye had the colour of a new determination. Just knowing his target was a big step for him.

"Then it looks like I have to share information as well. The other day I was attacked by a person who had the Excalibur. At that time, he killed a priest. The one who was killed is probably from your organisation."

!

Everyone became surprised. Obviously! I never thought that Kiba would have been involved before us! So why was he quiet about it the whole time? I'm sure that he had something in his mind.

"The name of that person is Freed Zelzan. Does this name sound familiar?"

Xenovia and Irina both made sharp eyes at Kiba's words.

"I see. So it's him."

"Freed Sellzen. Former exorcist of the Vatican. The genius who became an exorcist at the age of 13. He had lots of big achievements because he kept on eliminating Devils and mythical beasts."

"But he overdid it. He even killed his allies. Freed never had any beliefs towards our God from the start. The only thing he had was fighting instinct and killing intent towards monsters. And an abnormal obsession for battles. It was a matter of time that he'd be charged for heresy."

"Is that so? Freed used the Excalibur he stole to kill our fellow followers. For us to pay the price because the disposal group couldn't take care of him that time."

Xenovia said it with hatred. Freed sure is hated by lots of people. Well obviously.

"Anyways, let's move onto the cooperation strategy."

Xenovia took out a pen and used it to write on a memo pad. She gave us her contact details.

"If something happens, call this number."

"Thanks. Then we should also…"

"We already received Ise-kun's number from oba-sama."

"Are you serious!? Mum!? She gave it without my permission!?"

She told her son's number without his permission. I bet my mom would do the same.

"Then that's it then. I'll repay you for the meal another time, "Sekiryuutei" Hyoudou Issei."

Xenovia got up after saying that.

"Thanks for the meal, Ise-kun! Treat me again next time as well! Even if you are a Devil, God will allow it if it's Ise-kun who treats me to a meal! It's okay if it's food!"

Irina thanked me while giving me a wink. Is it alright for your religious belief to be like that? We sent the two of them off, and we all gave out a deep breath.

Fuuuu. It somehow went smoothly. I thought it was a reckless plan, but it was easier than I thought. It could have been the trigger for the war between the Devils and people from God's side… That was quite a bold move for Issei.

"…Ise-kun. Why did you do this?"

Kiba asked him quietly. He was certainly wondering why he was helping him out with his revenge.

"Well, we are comrades. And we belong to the same group. And you helped me out before as well. It's not like I'm trying to repay you, but I thought I would give you a hand this time."

"If I act by myself, then I would cause trouble for Buchou. That's also the reason, right?"

"Of course. Buchou would get sad if you were to go around in a rampage. Well, the fact that I made this plan by myself will cause trouble to Buchou as well. But it's better than you becoming an "exiled", right? Well it turned out to be a success, since we made an agreement with those guys from the Church."

Kiba still didn't look satisfied. Ummm, he's quite hard to deal with. Then Koneko-chan spoke.

"…Yuuto-senpai. I would get lonely…if senpai disappeared."

Koneko-chan put on a sad face. She is usually unemotional, so the sudden change had a lot of impact on all the guys here. Even I pledged to protect her in my mind

"…I will help you…that's why please don't go."

…Koneko-chan's appeal. Oh crap. Even if she wasn't saying it to me I felt my heartbeat go up. Aaah, I definitely can't betray her. If a kohai says that to me, I definitely can't betray her! Kiba seemed troubled, but then put on a smiley face.

"Hahaha. I give up. If Koneko-chan says that to me, then I can't do reckless things. Okay. I will work with you. Thanks to Ise-kun, I know who my true enemy is. But since we are doing this, we are definitely going to defeat the Excalibur. "

Oh! Kiba was eager to do this as well now! Koneko-chan smiled because she felt relieved. Crap! You look so cute Koneko-chan! I felt my heartbeat go up even though I'm not a lolicon!

"Okay! Now we have formed the group to destroy the Excalibur! Let's defeat the stolen Excalibur and that shit Freed!"

Issei was all pumped. Okay! We are going to go like this! I think we can do it if it's me,Issei, Kiba and Koneko-chan! No, we can do it! Wait for us Excalibur! But there was one guy who wasn't that eager to do it.

"…Ummm, do I have to do it as well?"

Saji asked us while he put his hand up.

"I mean, I'm totally uninvolved in this… After all, how are Kiba and Excalibur related?"

Oh yeah. This guy didn't know about Kiba and Excalibur. To Saji, he probably didn't understand what was going on in the earlier conversation.

"…Let's talk a bit."

Kiba then started to talk about his past after he drank the coffee. The project that the Catholic Church planned secretly. Project Holy-sword. The test to make lots of people who can use holy-swords was taking place in a certain institute. There were boys and girls who had talents at using swords and a possessor of Sacred Gear. Day after day, they were going through inhuman experiments. They were being experimented on and had their rights of freedom taken away. They weren't treated as humans and their lives were ignored. But they had a dream. To live on. They were forced to believe that they were loved by God, and they were just waiting for "that day" to come. They believed that they would become special beings. They believed that they could become people who could wield holy-swords. But the result was "disposal". Kiba and his comrades couldn't use the holy-swords.

"…Everyone died. They were killed. Killed by those who serve God. No one saved us. Just because we couldn't use the holy-swords. Other boys and girls were put under poisonous gas while still alive. They put poisonous gas on us while saying "amen". We vomited blood and suffered on the floor. Even so, we were seeking help from God."

Kiba told us his story. We listened to him silently. Kiba somehow managed to escape from the laboratory, but the poisonous gas had already infected him. Apart from certain people, the test subjects who had lower abilities than average were all disposed of because they weren't needed. Kiba who managed to escape, met Rias-san who came to observe Italy as he was dying. And now he was here.

"I want to accomplish my comrades' regrets. No, I don't want to make their deaths be in vain. I need to keep on living in their place, and I have to prove that I am stronger than Excalibur."

…What an intense past he had. Asia also had a sad past. But Kiba had been going through a life that was so hard to imagine… To tell the truth, I can't understand the pain Kiba went through. But I think it's hard to live on, just for revenge.

''Toyohisa revenge is a really powerful force that pushes people to extreme,but at said time revenge is evil, It will blind one and he won't see anything apart from revenge and when they received their revenge,then what? They only lived that time for revenge ,but when they get said revenge ,there is nothing left from people and then they end up mad...Son what I want to say is always have a purpose why you fight and don't let emotions control you, then you will become strong and able to protect those dear to you...''

That's what my old man used to say to me. But I think Kiba knows that and he already has a future ,he has good friends in ORC who care about him ,the only question is does he realize this?

"Uuuuuuu…sob…"

We were listening to Kiba's past with serious faces, but we heard someone crying. It was Saji. He was crying aloud. He had so much tears falling out of his eyes, and was crying so much. He also had a dripping nose… Saji took Kiba's hand and said,

"Kiba! It must have been horrible! It must have been painful! Damn it! There isn't any God or hope in this world! Right now I feel so much sympathy for you! Yeah, it's a horrible story! I understand why you hold a grudge against those people from the church and Excalibur!"

Oooh. Look at how Saji is talking.

"To tell you the truth, I didn't like you before because you were a good looking guy…But it's different now! I will also help! I'm willing to receive the punishment from Kaichou! But before that we have to destroy Excalibur! I will also work hard! You also have to live on! Don't ever betray Rias-senpai who saved you!"

What he was saying was weird…He was a good guy. Yeah, he wasn't a bad guy. I felt bad dragging him into this, but it seemed like it was alright after all.

"Okay! It's a good time! I want you guys to hear my story! You guys should know about me if we are working together!"

Saji seemed a bit shy, then said it with glittering eyes.

"My dream is to…make Kaichou pregnant and marry her! But, you know… making a girl pregnant and marrying her is hard for an unpopular guy like me. There aren't any girls that I can make pregnant to begin with… But I will one day make her pregnant and marry her…"

…After hearing Saji's confession, I was a bit shocked that I met Issei2. Then Issei started !Why?

"Saji! Listen to me! My aim is to grope Buchou's oppai…and then suck it!"

"…!"

DROP.

After a pause more teardrops were flowing out of Saji's eyes.

"Hyoudouuuu! Do you know what you are saying? Do you understand how hard that dream is, to touch the High-class Devils oppai… To touch the oppai of your master?"

"Saji. You can touch it. You can touch the High-class Devils oppai… You can touch your master's oppai! I actually groped Buchou's oppai with this hand."

Issei said it while moving his hands. Saji looked at his hand with a shocked face. I'm more chocked how can they talk like this in public.

"Impossible!? Something like that is possible!? You are not lying, right!?"

"It's not a lie. Master's oppai is far away. But it's not like you can't reach it."

"Sucking it…!? Sucking Ka…Kaichou's oppai… You are talking about the nipple right…? The place where you can suck is the nipple right…?"

"Dumb ass! If you are going to suck oppai, then the nipple is the only thing you can suck! Yes! I'm going to suck the nipple!"

"…!"

Saji started to cry like a man after hearing Issei words.

"Saji! We may be useless "Pawn"s if we are just by ourselves. But it's different if it's the two of us. We can fly if it's the two of us! We can fight if it's the two of us! We can do it if it's the two of us! We can make them pregnant and marry them if it's the two of us! Let's have sex with our own masters!"

"Yeah. Yes!"

They took each other's hand and nodded. I want to go home...

"…Ahaha."

"…You are the worst."

Kiba and Koneko-chan who were next to me sighed. If I'd looked around, everyone in the restaurant would be looking at us with weird eyes. I would feel the same if I was in there place. But like this the "Excalibur destroying squad" was formed.

Line Break

A few days later...

I was sitting at my desk in my classroom, sighing heavily. Every day the five of us; me,Issei,Kiba, Koneko-chan and Saji searched for the Excalibur. Our opponent was that ex priest Freed who worked under the Fallen-Angels. Apparently, he was hunting down priests sent by the Church. So we wandered around the town dressed in priests' outfits but still couldn't find him. We were wearing the priest outfit that Xenovia gave us that kept devils magical power down, but still couldn't encounter him. Where was that shit priest hiding? I wanted to find him so Kiba could destroy the Excalibur… At this rate, we would get caught by Rias-san or Kaichou and get into deep shit. She had started getting suspicious of us… So it's better to finish this quickly for everyone's sake.

Issei was talking with his friends. I wonder what's Raynere doing. No seriously I wonder what's she doing while I'm at school , hopefully not something weird... And plus I didn't saw Kuromi recently ,well she was stray cat after all ,I bet she's just running around somewhere ,but still she could come back at least for one day or all my money that I spend on her would be all wasted...

Then I started to listen to Issei and his friends.

''You have a serious face lately, Ise."

Motohama said to Issei while fixing the position of his glasses.

"Eh? Aaah, yeah kinda. Even I have to think about certain things sometimes."

"Is it that? Were you thinking about groping Rias-senpai's oppai or Himejima-senpai's oppai?"

If they will utter one more word about Akeno-san...

"I always have a hard time choosing that every day, Motohama. By the way, in terms of size, Buchou wins. Buchou also wins in terms of fullness. But in terms of softness Akeno-san wins…''

I then stood near them.

''T-T-Toyohisa!?''

Issei sounded scared

''Softens you say ,huh...''

I started to clean the edge of my nodachi. Issei looked like he was about to shit his pants while his friends silently reatreated. Of cource I didn't let them I quickly appeared them stopping them from doing so.

''Where are we going?''

''We are sorry Toyohisa-sama! We ask for your forgiveness!''

They both got onder knees and started apologizing

''I will forgive you this time,because I feel generous,but next time I will cut of your cocks and will make you run around Kouh while holding them in your mouths, are we clear?''

''Yes ,Toyohisa-sama, Thank you for your generosity Toyohisa-sama!''

''Good...''

After school on the same day.

We gathered in the park and changed to the priests' and sisters' clothes after finishing our normal club activity. The crosses the devils wore whare wake for obvios reasons. If they were real then they would had gotten injured. We walked around town in these clothes. We walked mainly in places where there weren't any people. I seriously wanted to get some leads today.

Though I was thinking that, time went by quickly and now it was already evening… We would get in trouble if we didn't return soon. This action was kept secret from Rias-san and the others, and it would also be troublesome if we got caught by the student council.

"Fuu. No progress today as well."

Saji said as if he lost interest. Saji was the one who was most eager to do this. This guy is truly a nice guy. Our first meeting was the worst, but it seems like we can get along. He's perverted at the same level as Issei. You can say that he's the Sitri group's version of Issei. I was thinking like that, but Kiba who was walking in front of us stopped his feet.

"…Yuuto-senpai."

Koneko-chan also seemed like she felt something.

HEART BEAT.

That instant I felt chills in my body. This was a killing intent? Was it aimed at us?

"Look up!"

Saji shouted. When all of us looked up, there was a white haired boy priest falling down with a long sword!

"Something like a divine protection for the group of priests ay!"

KACHIN!

Kiba took his demonic-sword out quickly and blocked Freed's slash.

"Freed!"

"…! Is that voice you, Ise-kun? Heeee. Well isn't this a weird reunion!? How is it? Has your Dragon power increased? Is it all right to kill you now?"

This bastard has a crazy attitude ! So the sword he's holding now is the Excalibur? I can certainly feel the same aura coming out of it, just like Irina's and Xenovia's. We took off the priest clothes, revealing our usual uniform. Koneko-chan also took off her sister's outfit. Well, a small sister also looked cute though.

"Boosted Gear!"

[Boost!]

Issei boosted his power. His duty this time was to support. He transferred his power boost to Kiba. We wanted Kiba to fight as much as he could, but we would have to help if it got dangerous.

"Stretch my line!"

SWISH!

Something that looked like a skinny black hand left Saji's hand and headed for Freed. On his hand, there was a cute looking deformed lizard face equipped. The line was coming from its mouth. Then that skinny hand was the tongue of the lizard!

"Such a pain!''

Freed tried to knock it away with his holy-sword, but the lizard's tongue changed its direction and went downwards. It stuck onto Freed's right foot, and it started to swirl around his leg. Freed tried to cut the tongue off with his swords, but it went past as if the tongue didn't have any physical form.

"You can't cut it that easily. Kiba! With this he can't escape! Beat him down!"

Good work Saji! I see, he stopped his movements! Freed has fast legs. It's a good idea to stop him from escaping. You have a sharp head, Saji!

"Thank you!"

Kiba rushed in quickly! He was going towards Freed with two demonic swords.

"Chi! So it's not only the "Holy Eraser", I see! Having multiple demonic-swords. Are you the possessor of "Sword Birth", perhaps? Wow. You are guilty of having a rare Sacred Gear, you know!"

Freed seemed like he was enjoying it, which was the opposite of what he was saying. So he was a crazy battle freak!

"But. Normal demonic swords can't put up a challenge against…"

KACHIN!

Kiba's two demonic swords broke after making a sound of a crack!

"…my Excalibur-chan."

"Ku!"

Kiba once again created demonic swords. But it seemed like the Excalibur was too powerful. It could break the demonic swords in a single swing!

"Kiba! Do you want to receive my power?"

"I can still go on!"

Kiba declined Issei's support. It seemed he was quite ticked off. Well that was to be expected. Kiba already lost to Xenovia's Excalibur once already. His pride probably wouldn't allow him to lose this second time as well.

"Hahaha! The way you look at my Excalibur is scary. Do you perhaps hold a grudge against it? Well I don't know what happened to you! But if you get cut by this, you can't avoid being eliminated without a trace you know? You will die, you know! You are going to die! Just die!"

Freed jumped! Kiba tried to block him by making the demonic swords appear around the area. But…

KACHIN!

The holy-sword, which was covered in white-blue light, broke Kiba's swords in a single blow! Freed did his second strike without any moment to spare! That was bad! Kiba was going to get killed! Then I looked at most hilarious scene… I looked at Issei and Koneko-chan, and it was Koneko-chan. Koneko-chan was lifting Issei up!

"…Ise-senpai. Please help Yuuto-senpai."

THROW.

Issei got thrown with a lot of power! He got thrown up into the air by a shoujo with super-human strength! I heard Issei cry.

"Uooooooooo! Koneko-chaaaaaaaan!"

Issei got closer to Kiba as he screamed.

"Kibaaaaaaaa! I will transfer my power to youuuu!"

"Uwah! Ise-kun!"

Issei activated his Sacred Gear as he approached Kiba.

[Transfer!]

It made a sound and the Dragon's power went into Kiba! There was an aura coming out of Kiba's body. There was quite an amount of magical power covering his body.

"…I have to use it since I received it! "Sword Birth"!"

ZAN!

There were blades coming out around the whole area! From the ground! From the light pole! There were different shapes of blades popping out from different places.

"Chiii!"

Freed made a noise with his tongue, and then started to break the demonic swords going at him.

SWISH!

Kiba disappeared with his demonic-sword as soon as he found an opening. He used the demonic-swords as a platform and moved around freely! Wow! He moved really fast! That's to be expected from the "Knight" with speed! Freed was following Kiba's movement with his eyes!

SWISH!

Along with the sound of the wind, there was a demonic-sword heading towards Freed! Kiba threw one of the demonic swords when he was using the demonic-swords as a footpath! No! It's not just one demonic-sword! There were several demonic-swords coming from every direction!

"Uhaa! That is a good circus trick! You rotten Devil!"

KACHIN! KACHIN! KACHIN!

Freed knocked away the demonic-swords one after another with an expression of excitement!

"My Excalibur is "Excalibur Rapidly"! In terms of velocity, it won't lose to anything!"

The holy-sword that Freed held started to vibrate at the tip, and then disappeared! It meant the holy-sword was moving that fast! Freed destroyed all of the demonic-swords and then rushed towards Kiba!

KACHIN!

"It's not working!"

The demonic-swords that Kiba had in both hands crumbled.

"DIE!"

The moment Freed's sword was going downwards at Kiba…

PULL.

Freed's body was pulled back, and he lost his balance.

"Like I would let you!"

It was Saji! The lizard pulled its tongue back, which made Freed lose his stance! At the same time, the lizard's tongue made a shallow light. It looked like it was coming from Freed and going into Saji.

"…This is!? Shit! Are you absorbing my powers!?"

Absorbing!? Did that tongue that was coming out of Saji have some kind of special ability?

"Heh! How's that! This is my Sacred Gear "Absorption Line"! As long as this line is connected to you, your power will continue to be absorbed by my Sacred Gear! Yeah! Until you lose your consciousness that is!"

Sacred Gear! I see! So Saji is a Sacred Gear possessor as well! So if that is connected to you, you continue to have your power absorbed! And you can't even cut it with a holy-sword!

"…Dragon-type Sacred Gear is it!? The most troublesome type. The initial ability isn't that much of a threat. But when it grows, the destructible power surpasses other Sacred Gears on a whole different level. Scary. Man, it is such a nuisance!"

Freed tried to take it off again with his holy-sword, but there wasn't a scratch on Saji's Sacred Gear. Is it the type you can't damage with physical swords? And did he say Dragon-type? That lizard is a Dragon!? I don't understand it, but that's a nice Sacred Gear!

"Kiba! It's not the time to be complaining! Just beat that guy! The problem with the Excalibur can come after that! This guy is seriously dangerous! Just standing in front of him makes me tremble! If we leave him be, he will also cause harm to me and Kaichou! I will weaken him by absorbing his power with my Sacred Gear, so take him down at once!"

Saji suggested a plan. It was a good plan indeed. I also thought that was the best method. This guy was seriously dangerous. It was better to finish him here. But Kiba put on a complicated expression. I knew the reason. He was regretting because he couldn't win with his own power. But Kiba should have also understood that it would be beneficial to finish him off now. Kiba created a demonic-sword as if he had made his determination.

"…I feel reluctant, but I also agree to finish you off here. There's still two more Excaliburs that were stolen. I will have to hope that the other two are strong."

"Ha! I'm stronger than the other two, you know? So! The moment you four beat me, there aren't others who will put up with you guys! Are you sure? If you kill me, you won't have any holy-sword battle that would satisfy you."

Freed said it with a disgusting smile. Kiba's eyes also changed after hearing that.

"Hmmm. "Sword Birth" huh? It's a Sacred Gear that can have an infinite number of powers depending on the possessor."

Then there was the voice of another person. When I looked that way, there was an old man wearing priest clothes standing there.

"…Is it you old-man Balba?"

Everyone became shocked at Freed's word. Balba!? Isn't Balba the guy who Xenovia was talking about? The one who disposed of Kiba and his comrades during the "Holy Sword Project"… Just like the Excaliburs, what a fateful meeting!

"…Balba Galilei!"

Kiba glared at the old man with eyes full of hatred.

"I certainly am."

The old man admitted it normally. So this guy was Kiba's enemy.

"Freed. What are you doing?"

"Old-man! I can't run away because of this guy's weird lizard tongue!"

"Hmph. You still can't use the holy-sword perfectly yet. Use the "element" I gave you more wisely. I'm researching because of that. Gather the holy element that is running throughout your body to the blade of the holy-sword. With that, you should be able to cut it."

"Yeah, yeah!"

Freed's holy-sword had started to gather auras and started to glow!

"Like this! Horyah!"

CUT.

Saji's Sacred Gear was cut with ease, and the only thing that was holding Freed was gone! This was bad! He was going to escape!

"I will be escaping now! The next time we meet will be the time of our ultimate battle!"

Freed said that but…

"I won't let you escape!"

There was someone who went past me with a very fast speed.

KACHIN!

There was a blade clashing with Freed's holy-sword that was igniting sparks! It was Xenovia!

"Yaho! Ise-kun, Toyohisa-kun.''

"Irina!"

Irina was also here as well. Ooooh! The partner's of our cooperation were here!

"Freed Zelzan. Balba Galilei. Rebels. I will cut you both down in the name of God!"

"Ha! Don't say the name of the hateful God that I hate! You bitch!"

Freed and Xenovia exchanged swords, but he took something out. It was a ball of light. That was!? The item used for escaping!

"Old-man Balba! We are escaping! We are going to report to the boss, Kokabiel!"

"There's no other way."

"See ya! The alliance of Church and Devils!"

Freed threw down the ball of light on the ground.

FLASH.

I couldn't see anything! The light covered the whole area and blinded our eyes! By the time we regained our sight, Freed and Balba were gone. Shit! We came all the way here and we lost track of him!

"We are going after them Irina."

"Okay!"

Xenovia and Irina nodded at each other and sprinted from here.

"I'm going after them too! I won't let you escape Balba Galilei!"

"He…hey! Kiba! Geez! What's going on!"

Everyone was doing whatever they felt like! The ones who stayed behind were me,Issei,Koneko-chan and Saji. We loosened our battle stances and took a breath. Then I felt the presence of someone behind me.

"When I thought that the flow of power was irregular…"

"This is certainly troublesome."

I turned around after hearing a familiar voice and…

"Ise. What's the meaning of this? Explain."

Rias-san and Kaichou were standing there with serious faces. This will not end well...

Line Break

"…Destroying Excalibur. You two…"

''...And Toyohisa-kun you're just a human...''

Rias-san didn't have a pleasant face and she put her hand on her forehead.

After the incident with Freed, Rias-san and Kaichou took the four of us, Saji, Koneko-chan,Issei and me, to the nearby park. Then we were forced to do seiza in front of the fountain.

"Saji. You were doing something like this behind me? You truly are a troublesome child."

"Auuu…I…I'm sorry Kaichou…"

Kaichou was also talking to Saji with a cold expression. Saji's face became so blue that it was dangerous. He must have been truly scared.

"So Yuuto went after that person called Balba?"

"Yes. I think he's with Irina and Xenovia… I think that he's going to call us if something happens…"

"Do you think Yuuto who became an avenger would call us normally?"

You are absolutely right. Rias-san then looked at Koneko-chan.

"Koneko."

"…Yes."

"Why did you do this?"

"…I don't want Yuuto-senpai to go away…"

Koneko-chan told her true feelings. Rias-san looked confused rather than angry when she heard that.

"…Saying this when it has already happened won't change anything I guess. But what you two did could have affected the world of Devils. You understand that, right?"

"Yes."

"…Yes."

Koneko-chan and Issei nodded their heads at the same time. While I was the odd one left out as I was not affiliated with any group.

"I'm sorry Buchou."

"…I'm sorry Buchou."

Koneko-chan and Issei bowed our heads. I didn't think she would forgive them with this,

SLAP! SLAP!

When I looked at the direction from where the sound was coming from, Saji was there getting his butt spanked! Oooou, Saji! What a sad view!

"Looks like you need to reflect on your behaviour."

"Uwaaaaaaan! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please forgive me Kaichouuu!"

"No. 1000 spankings."

SLAP! SLAP!

Kaichou was covering her hand with demonic-power. He was getting spanked with that hand! It seemed quite painful! Man, getting that when you are a high school student must be truly painful!

"Hey Ise. Don't look away."

"I sent my familiar to search for Yuuto. Let's go to him with the rest of the club members when he is found. We will decide what to do from there. Okay?"

"Yes."

"…Yes."

Koneko-chan and Issei replied to Rias-san's words.

HUG.

Rias-san pulled them to her and hugged them. What a beautiful shit...

"…You two really are stupid children. Making me worry so much…"

Rias-san said it with a gentle voice while she patted Issei's and Koneko-chan's head.

"Uwaaaaaaan! Kaichouuu! They finished with a good atmosphere!"

"They are them. We are us."

SLAP! SLAP!

It looked like Saji's spanking wasn't going to end anytime soon. Looks like making Kaichou pregnant and marrying her is really far away.

"Now Ise. Show me your bottom."

Huh? Did I hear it alright?Rias-san smiled with her hand covered with a crimson coloured aura.

"It's the master's duty to discipline their servants. You're also getting 1000 spankings."

''And you Toyohisa-kun ,I will hand your punishment to Akeno''

That day I swore that I won't do anything to anger Akeno-san ever again.

Line Break

By the time I arrived home, the sun was setting, it was almost night time. I parted ways with Koneko-chan, along my way home. She was apologising to Rias-san until she left. But she seemed like she didn't regret it. Same as me. Also Kiba… He followed those guys but he should be safe, right?

"I'm back!"

I took my shoes off and was about to walk the hallway, Raynere showed her face from the kitchen. She then waved her hands at me telling me to come. Raynere you have a lecherous face.

"Come here, Toyohisa-kun."

When i got closer Raynere leaped was wearing an apron. That's what I thought but it was different. I think her skin was exposed more than it should have been… N…no, this is…!?

What a wonderful…! No, what an indecent appearance!

''Like what you see?''

Raynere said it with a grin

DRIP.

There was blood coming out of my was trying to kill me…!

"Raynere… Why would you do this?"

"No reason. Of course I'm not wearing my underwear...''

She's not wearing underwear… Raynere told me something I didn't even ask for. Certainly I thought I could see her important part if I looked carefully… No! No! I can't look!

''Nya?''

Kuromi my angel! I quickly grabbed Kuromi

''We are going to take a bath!''

''NYAAAAAAAAAA!''

I'm sorry Kuromi.I don't want to die from blood loss! I promise I will buy you top quality salamon later ,so please forgive me!

After bathing Kuromi I dryed her with a towel. I then released her, she was really mad at me she even gave me on of 'I really hate you' look. But what surprised me even if she spend most of the time outside she didn't smell bad ,in fact she smelt good. She's not a normal cat...Why am I acting so surprised? I have fallen angel living with me for God's sake!

That night, Raynerea and I also slept together. Don't ask me why, she was really clingy about it and I accepted both Raynere and I woke up because of an enormous pressure we had never felt before. I jumped off the bed and stood in front of the window, Raynere came later too. When I looked down from the window, there was someone looking up…

''Raynere get down!''

BANG!

I quickly tackled her on the ground using my whole body to cover her

SHADER!

Window has broken and shadered into pieces. Now I will have to get a new window!

''Hangaku!''

Hangaku quickly materialized in front of me.

''Capture him alive if you can ,we have some questions to ask!''

Without a word Hangaku flew out from the window. I looked down at Raynere.

''You're not hurt?''

I asked her.

''No I'm fine. What about you?''

''I'm fine as well''

''Toyohisa I don't mind you squeezing my breast ,but I think we have things to do first...''

She trailed off and then I looked at her again ,and noticed that my hand was on her breast. S-So soft...!...! I quickly pulled my hand back and apologized.

''Nya?''

Kuromi walked out of the living room.

''Kuromi you guard home, me and Raynere are going out to take couple of things...''

I quickly dressed myself then picked my weapons and run thru the door. When I stood outside the I realized that I told a cat to guard my home... Now is not the time to think about this!

After couple of seconds Hangaku appeared dragging a body behind her. She dropped it in front of us.

PUNCH!

I punched the guy in the face.

''Talk! Who send you?''

SPIT!

I see...So that's how we are going to play...

''Raynere use you light spears and aim them through his both hands''

She did as told. Now he had two light spears impaled into his hands.

''Feel like talking? I just might let you live...''

''Fuck...You!''

The guy said. I drew my wakizaki and put it in front of his face.

''If you don't want your cock cut off and put in your ass , I suggest talking.''

He didn't reply. I then moved my wakizaki lower and bringed it to the air ready to strike him.

''Okay! Okay! I-I will...talk''

I stopped wakizaki just a couple of centimetres from his flesh.

''Who sent you?''

''K-Kokabiel...''

Kokabiel? Who is that? Sounds familiar. I looked at Raynere she had a really shocked look on her face.

''Raynere who is Kokabiel?''

''H-He's one of the leaders of Fallen-Angels. But he was removed from his post not a while ago. He is warmonger. All he wants is war to continue. He and Azazel-sama clashed really much. As Azazel-sama wanted peace and he wanted war to continue''

We talked about him in the ORC room when the first those two exorcists visited. I turned again to a guy.

''Why did he send you here?''

''To...kill...you.''

''Figures...''

Wait if he targeted me does that mean...

''Was Akeno Himejima also targeted? What about the Gremory group as a whole?''

''Hahaha...Kokabiel and Freed are already went for the Gremory's heir, but don't worry Baraqiel bitch of a daughter is fine. They all will be used for starting a war! A school where both little sisters of Sirzech's and Leviathan's go to. It must be filled with demonic-powers so that Kokabiel can enjoy the chaos! It's also the best place to release the real power of Excaliburs! It's a good place for the battlefield.''

He was talking nonsense! He was seriously crazy!? That's it!

PUNCH!

''Call her bitch again and you will meet your fate here''

He was already unconscious. At Least I don't have to waste my time on him.

''Raynere tie him up and call mom. Tell her everything you saw and heard''

''Where are you going Toyohisa?''

''You heard him. I'm going to stop this shit!''

Line Break

"Rias-senpai. We have covered the school with a large barrier. With this, unless something disastrous happens, there will be no damage outside."

Saji reported the current situation to I joined here I was greeted by the Occult research club and the student council, They had gathered at the park located right in front of Kuoh academy. Only Kiba wasn't there. Where are you Kiba… Saji from the student council was explaining about the barrier to Rias-san. Possibly because of the spanking he got earlier, he stood unnaturally. According to his story, Shitori Souna-senpai who is the kaichou had gathered everyone from the student council and put a big barrier on the school after she heard the situation from Rias-san. It was a measure used to keep the things occurring inside from leaking outside. The opponent was one of the leaders of the Fallen-Angels who appeared in the bible and books.

"This is to keep it to the minimum. To tell you the truth, if Kokabiel were to fight seriously, not only this academy, but the whole region would be annihilated. Adding to that, he has already gotten ready for that. My servant has seen him releasing his power at the school grounds."

Wha… I became speechless at Kaichou's words. Are you serious!? We are talking about something that big!? So it meant he was someone that serious… He seriously was a troublesome Fallen-Angel leader! He was going to destroy my town because he wanted to do what he wished, which was to start a war!? Don't mess around. Don't fuck around you shitty Fallen-Angel! I won't let you do as you please! I'm planning to live and enjoy my life in this town with Akeno, Raynere and everyone! My anger was at its MAX, and Kaichou continued to explain.

"My servants and I will continue to place the barrier to reduce the damages. I want to minimise the damages as much as possible… It's hard to prevent having our school getting damaged. But it looks like we have to since it's the leader of the Fallen-Angels who is moving."

Kaichou made a sharp eye and looked in the direction of the school with eyes filled with hatred. She was probably directing it to Kokabiel. Then it was confirmed that the school would get damaged. The school I…we go to…

"Thank you, Sona. We will do the rest from here."

"Rias. Our enemy is a monster with strength above ours. It's still not too late. We should get your Oni-sama…"

Rias-san shook her head.

"You also didn't call your Onee-sama."

"My Onee-sama is… Your Oni-sama loves you. Sirzechs-sama will definitely move. So…"

"I have already informed Sirzechs-sama."

Akeno-san said it over Rias-san and Kaichou's words.

"Akeno!"

Rias-san criticised. But Akeno-san had an angry expression.

"Rias. I know that you don't want to cause problems for Sirzechs-sama. It happened in your territory. In your base. And it happened after the family problem. But it's a different story if the leader of the enemy appears. It is a problem that surpasses the level that you can solve. Let's borrow the strength of a Maou."

…It was my first time seeing Akeno-san telling Rias-san off. But, just as I thought, Akeno-san calls her "Rias" during private times and talks casually towards her. Rias-san seemed like she wanted to say something. But she took a deep breath and nodded. Akeno-san put on her usual smiley face after she saw her.

"Thank you for understanding the situation, Buchou. Sona-sama. Sirzechs-sama's reinforcement will be here in one hour."

"One hour… I understand. In that time, we, the student council, will vow to continue to place the barriers in the name of Sitri."

Rias-san seemed like she had made her decision as well after hearing Kaichou's decision.

"…So one hour. Now my servants. We will be on the offensive. We will go inside the barrier and draw Kokabiel's attention. Unlike the battle against Phoenix, this is a battle of life and death! Even so, I will not forgive you if you die! We will survive and continue to attend that school!"

"Yes!"

They replied to her with energetic voices.

"Hyoudou!Shimazu! I will leave the rest to you."

"I know that, Saji. You should worry about the damages on your ass."

"Don't say that! It feels like it will hurt even more if you say that! How about your ass?"

"Fufufu. Buchou's love certainly hurts. Well the situation right now is the same as having our asses on fire."

"No, no. I can't laugh at that. So Kiba isn't here yet?"

"Yeah. I believe that he is safe."

"Yeah. I also believe in him as well."

Saji and Issei put their fist together and prayed for our missions. It was a decisive battle! If it became serious, then I would also…

[Leave it to me, Master. Our opponent is Kokabiel. He's not an insufficient opponent. Let's show him.]

Yeah, Hangaku. We will show him. What happens when you mess with Shimazu!

Line Break

We went in straight from the main gate. The moment I entered, Issei used promotion to promote from "Pawn" to "Queen".

[Master I fused my power with you, so you won't be able to summon me in this battle,but you will have a huge power boost. Do note ,master, that currently you can use this boost only for proximity five minutes during combat]

Thank you,Hagaku. I said i my mind directing my gaze forwards

…I became speechless after seeing a bizarre scene. In the middle of the school field, there were four swords that were releasing extreme lights while floating. Having the swords at the centre, there was a suspicious looking magic circle spread in the whole school field. There was an old-man located in the middle of the magic circle. Balba Galilei? That geezer. What was he planning to do by using the magic circle?

"What is this…?"

I spoke out my doubt.

"I'm going to make the four Excaliburs into one."

Balba said it as if he found it amusing.

"Balba. How much longer will it take for the Excaliburs to merge?"

"…!"

There was a voice from up in the sky! When all of the club members looked up, there was a man with pointed ears. That's definitely Kokabiel! He had the moon as a background. He was sitting on a chair up in the sky while looking down on us… Was it the power of a Fallen-Angel that was making the chair float? He was crossing his legs confidently!

"It won't even take 5 minutes, Kokabiel."

"Is that so. I will leave it to you."

Kokabiel moved his eyes from Balba to Rias-san.

"Is Sirzechs coming? Or is it Serafall?"

"In the places of Oni-sama and Leviathan-sama, we…"

SWISH! BANNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!

After the sound of the wind, there was a sound of explosion that echoed throughout the area! The sound came from the place where the gym is. No, where the gym WAS. There wasn't even a trace of it! Did it get blown away!?

"Boring. Well that's okay. It will be entertaining."

There was a big pillar made of light where the gym was located. Was that perhaps the spear of light? Yo…you must be joking… That's too big! If compared with Raynere's, it was like comparing a toothpick and a fishing rod! If I was to get hit by that…

[Are you scared,Master?]

Hangaku directly talked to me. Of course I would get scared after seeing that! It was not a matter of being beyond us! It was totally on a different level to us!

[Yeah. It's on a different level. He is so strong that his name has been recorded in the bible since ancient times. He is the one who survived the battle against God and the past Maou.]

Can we win? Can I beat him?

[You just have to try ,master. Even if you can't beat him,Master, I will give him damage that will freeze him for an hour. You can leave the rest to the we have current host of Ddraig on our side]

…So he's that powerful. Looks like I have to make my decision as well… Well, using the tanegashima will be my last resort. I have only one empowered bullet. Using tanegashima now will be complete suicide and I don't have a good aim. I will have to get really close to shoot him down...This will be hard, if what Hangaku said is true that he survived a battle with a God and Maou ,that means that it will be really hard to pass his defence or even we won't be able to past it...

"Now. I will have you all fight my pet that I brought from hell."

Kokabiel clicked his fingers. Then from the depths of darkness there was a sound of the ground rumbling as it came closer to us. That thing was something that far exceeded my expectations. Eight…no it probably was ten meters tall. It had a large body. It had four legs, and each leg was thick. Also the claws that grew from each leg looked so sharp that I felt chills behind my back. The eyes that were glittering from the darkness were red. From its mouth, what it had were dangerous looking fangs. The fangs were close to each other, and from the gaps there were white breaths pouring out. The animal which resembled it the most was a…dog. But dogs aren't this big! That's because dogs don't have three heads!

ROOOOOOOOOOOAR!

Its howl was so loud it felt like it shook the ground! The three heads howled at the same time!

"…Cerberus!"

Rias-san said it with a voice filled with disgust.

"Cerberus?"

Issei asked.

"Yes. It's a famous creature that has the nickname of Guard-dog of Hell."

Guard-dog of Hell…!? So this dog was a monster that sounded that dangerous!?

"It lives in the gate to Hell, no to the Underworld. But to bring it to the humans' world!"

"Is it bad?"

"We have to do it! We will blow it away, Ise!"

"Yes Buchou! Let's do it, Boosted Gear!"

[Boost!]

Okay doggy! Since it looks like you haven't been tamed properly, I will have to discipline you! I have a good feeling about this. Plus from what am I hearing all we have to do is stall time until Issei reches his max. Sounds easy enough.

"So Ise. This time, we will back you up."

"So do I give him the finishing blow by charging my power?"

Rias-san shook her head at Issei's question.

"No. I will have you support us. You will be transferring your boosted power to us. Boosted Gear is a Sacred Gear that powers you up and also increases the power of your comrades in a team battle."

Increasing the power of comrades by using the ability of Gift. So he's going to put his boosted power on top of the group members! Then perhaps it might be effective against Kokabiel? Even if we can't give him an enormous amount of damage, we might gain the power to block his attacks!

"By the way, Ise. Including your power up, how many times can you transfer your powers?"

"Right now with my current stamina, I can only transfer it 3 or 4 times with the maximum boost. No, I might faint after the fourth time so please think that I can only do it three times."

"I see. So we can't waste it."

"Akeno!"

Rias-sangot her wings out from her back and flew up into the sky with Akeno-san.

GAAAAAARUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Cerberus jumped after making a growl!

FLAAAAAAAAAAAME!

One of the heads looked towards Rias-san who was flying and breathed out fire! Wow! It seriously was a monster!

"Too naïve."

Akeno-san stood in front of Buchou and froze the fire instantly. Just to be expected from the "Queen"!

"Take this!"

Rias-san jumped from behind Akeno-san and released an enormous black block of demonic-power. The blow from the power of destruction. Rias-san's demonic power is a powerful one that eliminates everything it touches.

FLAAAAAAAAAAME!

The other head of the monstrous dog shot out a ball of fire! Rias-san's demonic power and the fireball of Cerberus clashed against each other violently! Then the other head shot out a fireball! Shit! Three attacks in a row! The second fireball assisted the first one that was getting pushed by Rias-san's strike! The strength of fire increased and it started to push Rias-san's strike. Then Cerberus tried to shoot another one! If it did another one, then even if it was Rias-san…

"I have found an opening in you."

BANG!

Koneko-chan who jumped from beside me did a heavy blow onto Cerberus's head! It made a loud sound! I don't want to get hit by that, Koneko-chan!

"Here's another blow."

When Akeno-san pointed her fingers up, there was lightning created in the sky. She then pointed her fingers to Cerberus and…

FLASH!

After a single flash, Cerberus was surrounded by violent lightning! Akeno-san gave an extra special lightning to the doggy! Rias-sanblow also added to that! But Cerberus' body didn't get terminated and it just struck the side of its stomach. There was dark black blood coming out of the monster dog's stomach. There was smoke coming from it. But it still had a shine in its eyes. It could still move even after receiving those attacks? Then my hair stood up

GARUUUUUUUU.

Ummmm, I could hear a dangerous howl… I turned around with scared thoughts and…

"There's another one!?"

Another Cerberus appeared from the darkness! Don't joke around! It's not a joking matter that another one appeared!

GAAAAAAAAOOOOO!

It made a howl and it came towards Asia! Crap!Issei is still boosting and I was too far away! Issei grabed Asian,then he had to run while carrying Asia! But it seemed like there was nowhere to run to in a school field like this!

"Ise! Just use the boost to increase your powers!"

Rias-san gave him the permission to use the boosted power. That would be the best choice. But if he used it here, then it seemed like it would be used just to run away! But it couldn't be helped if it was to protect Asia! It happened when I was about to do strike another cerberus.

SLASH!

One of the heads of the Cerberus that was coming at us went up into the sky. It was cut! By who? Kiba? But the person who appeared was the one who wielded a long Excalibur. It was Xenovia. The head of the Cerberus that was cut turned to dust.

"I have come to back you up."

STEP!

After saying that, Xenovia went on slashing towards the Cerberus' torso. The Cerberus howled in pain because it lost one of its heads.

GAAAAAAOOOOOOO!

The Cerberus' torso split in half after receiving a fatal strike. There was smoke coming out, and the Cerberus started to vaporise. It was the effect of the -Sword! My Nodachi has the same power! How could i forget?!

"The strike of the holy-sword. It gives critical damage to creatures."

STAB!

Xenovia thrust her sword deep into the Cerberus' chest to finish it off. That moment, the Cerberus' body turned into dust and disappeared.

I started concentrating and in a few seconds my nodachi was enveloped in white light.

"Buchou! Akeno-san! I have got enough power to take down Cerberus!"

Issei screamed that, Rias-san and Akeno-san looked at each other and nodded. Both of them came down to Issei at the same time.

"Ise! You increased the strength of the cross and holy water in the battle against Raiser, right?"

"Eh? Ah, I certainly did."

"So it's possible to increase both of us at the same time then! Please transfer the power to Akeno and I!

Issei then explained that he can only transfer 70 to 80 percent of the boosted power to Buchou and Akeno-san. The two of them were okay with it.

"I think that would be enough."

"Yes. We can do it."

''PLEASE!''

Buchou and Akeno-san replied at the same time. Issei put his hand on Rias-san's and Akeno-san's shoulder and activated his sacred down Toyohisa he just put his hand on Akeno-san's shoulder

''Let's do it, Sacred Gear!''

[Transfer!]

They instantly gained an enormous amount of demonic-power. Both of them were shocked at the amount of power that was overflowing from them.

"…We can do this."

Akeno-san nodded to Rias-san's daring smile.

"Akeno!"

"Yes! Thunder! Resound!"

Akeno-san pointed her fingers to the sky and started to control the thunder. Her fingers were aimed towards the Cerberus.

! The Cerberus tried to run from the spot as if it predicted the upcoming thunder!

STAB!

Countless swords pierced through the Cerberus' limb! The swords were coming out from the ground! This is…

"I won't let you escape."

The person who appeared was our'Prince Charming'! It was Kiba's Swords! That guy came at a good time!

FLASH!

The thunder went down at Cerberus after it lost its movement due to the demonic-swords. The lightning was so big that it couldn't be compared to the one before! The lightning covered more than half of the school grounds!

RUUUUUUUMBLEEEEEE!

"!"

The howl of the Cerberus was overshadowed by the sound, and its body turned to nothingness from the lightning. Because of its major power up, the potential demonic-energy got used up rapidly responding to the strength of it. Even if it was Buchou and Akeno-san, continuous shots would have been hard for them as well. The moment the big dog disappeared, Buchou pointed her hand towards Kokabiel!

"Take this! Kokabiel!"

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNN!

There was a gigantic mass of demonic-power that shot out from Rias-san's hand!

"It's huge!"

I slipped my words. It gained high velocity and went towards the leader of the Fallen-Angels who was sitting up in the sky! The power of destruction fell on top of Kokabiel! Perish with that! But… He just stretched one of his hands to the front.

BAAAAAAAANG!

He was blocking Rias's show with only one of his hands! You must be joking! He stopped a gigantic shot like that with only one hand!?

GUUUN!

Kokabiel faced his palm towards the sky. The shot that was fired by Buchou changed its direction and went up to the sky and disappeared. Kokabiel showed his malicious smile after seeing the smoke coming out of his hand.

"I see. Rias Gremory's power would grow this much because of the power of Sekiryuutei. Interesting. This is very interesting indeed. Kukuku."

Kokabiel started to laugh by himself as if he find it funny.

"…It's complete."

Balba's voice. Then the four Excaliburs that were placed on the center of the school field started giving out incredible amounts of light. What is it? What was happening? Kokabiel started applauding.

"The four Excaliburs are going to become one."

It started giving out divine light that spread throughout the school field. Because of its brightness, we covered our faces with our hands. When I stared at the center of the school field, I saw that the four Excaliburs were put on top of each other. Excalibur that was originally one. It was split into seven, but four of them were going to become one. When the bright lights were gone, there was one holy-sword at the center of the field giving out a blue-white aura.

"Because of the light created by the Excalibur when it turned into one, the spell on the ground is also complete. This town will collapse within 20 minutes. The only way to dispel it is by beating Kokabiel."

Balba said something astonishing. I became speechless. Of course. Because the town I live in would collapse in less than 20 minutes! The magic circle spread around the whole school field and it started glowing and gathering power. Did it activate!? Are you serious!? Is the town I live in… Is the town we live in seriously going to disappear!? Lies! That's a lie! We didn't have the time to be saying something so easygoing like "we have to withstand it until Sirzechs-sama and the others arrive"! By the time Maou's reinforcement would have arrived, this town would already have been blown away!

"Freed!"

Kokabiel called out the name of that priest.

"What's up, Boss?"

A white haired boy priest emerged from the darkness.

"Use the Excalibur in the circle. It shall be the last entertainment. Fight while using the Excalibur that has turned into one from the four Excaliburs."

"Yeah yeah. Geez. My Boss sure uses people recklessly. But but! It's like I'm so honoured to use the Excalibur-chan that has become super wonderful! Something like that? Uhehehe! I will just chop some Devils now!"

Freed put on a crazy smile while holding the Excalibur located at the centre of the school field. So he could use it. He did say that he received a factor from Balba. Xenovia then spoke to Kiba.

"Rias Gremory's "Knight". If the cooperation is still valid, let us destroy that Excalibur together."

"Is it okay?"

Xenovia laughed fearlessly at Kiba's words.

"At worst, it won't be a problem if I collect the "fragment" of the Excalibur that is acting as the core of it. Since Freed is wielding it, that is a holy-sword but it isn't a holy-sword. Even if it's a holy-sword, it's the same as any other weapon. It changes depending on the person using it. That is a sword of heresy."

"Kukuku…"

Someone was laughing at the duo's conversation. It was Balba.

"Balba Galilei. I am a survivor of the "Holy-sword Project". No. I am the one who was killed by you to be more precise. I have continued living by being reincarnated into a Devil."

Kiba said calmly to Balba. But his eyes were filled with flames of hatred. Depending on Balba's answer it might become an explosive situation.

"Hou. The survivor of that project. This is such a misfortune. To meet you in a far east country like this. I feel fate. Fufufu."

What a disgusting way of laughing. It was like he was making a fool out of us.

"You see. I like holy-swords. I like them so much that they come out in my dreams. Possibly because my heart was fascinated by the legend of Excalibur since I was a child. That's why when I found out that I can't use Excalibur I went into despair."

Balba suddenly started talking about his life. A story about the geezer's past, huh.

"I held admiration for those who can wield it because I couldn't. That feeling became so powerful that I started an experiment to create those who can use them. Then it was complete. It's thanks to you and the others."

"What? Complete? You disposed of us after finding us to be a failure."

Kiba lifted his eyebrows seemingly in doubt. From Kiba, Buchou and Xenovia's story I heard that the experiment failed. Didn't they dispose of them because they found them to be a failure? But Balba shook his head.

"I realised that there was an essential factor needed to wield holy-swords. So I used the numerical value of the "factors" to investigate its capability. Most of the test subjects had the "elements" but they didn't have the numerical value needed to wield the Excalibur. Then I reached a conclusion. Is there a way to take out the elements and gather them?."

"I see. I understand now. The thing that is put inside the holy-sword wielders when they received a blessing is…"

Xenovia seemed like she learned the truth and grit her teeth hatefully. Wh…what did she mean? I was in doubt and Balba continued to talk,

"That's right holy-sword wielder girl. We take out the holy-elements from those who have them and crystallise them. Just like this."

Balba took out an orb that was giving out light. It was a shiny orb. It has the so-called holy aura in it.

"With this, the research on holy-sword wielders improved. Even so, those fools from the Church banished me for heresy and took away my reports on the research. By looking at you, I see that the project was succeeded by someone. That Michael. He made me look like a criminal and this is the result? Well it's that Angel we are talking about. Even if he takes the elements out from the test subjects, he wouldn't go as far as to kill them. That part only would make him more human than me. Kukukuku."

Balba laughed pleasantly. I see. I understood now. At present, to create holy-sword users artificially, it required a sacrifice. So Kiba and Xenovia were victims of the project started by Balba.

"…You killed my comrades and took out the elements needed to wield the holy-swords?"

Kiba asked Balba with his voice filled with killing intent.

"That's right. This orb is from back then. I have used three of them on Freed though. This is the last one."

"Hyahahahaha! Other guys besides me died because their bodies couldn't synchronise with the elements! Hmmmmm. If I think like that, that makes me special."

If it was just like Freed said, then the other ones who stole the Excalibur died. Chi! It would have been better if Freed was the one to die! Guys like him end up being tough.

"You thought that guys like me would end up being tough, didn't you Samurai boy? No, no. I won't die easily like that."

Don't read my thoughts, shitty priest!

"…Balba Galilei. How many lives have you sacrificed for your greed and experiments…"

Kiba's hands were shaking and there was an aura of anger coming out of his body. What an incredible intensity.

"Hm. If you say that, then I will give this orb to you. My research has reached the stage where it is possible to mass produce them in the right environment. First of all, I will destroy this town with Kokabiel. Next I will gather the legendary holy-swords stored around the world. Then I will mass produce holy-sword wielders and start a war against Michael and the Vatican with the combined Excaliburs. I'm going to show the result of my research to those foolish Angels and their followers who have convicted me."

So that was the reason why Kokabiel and Balba teamed up. Both of them had hatred towards the Angels. Both of them sought war. They were the worst pair! Balba threw away the orb as if he had lost interest in it. It rolled on the ground and went to Kiba's foot. Kiba leaned down silently and picked it up. He patted the orb sadly, lovingly, and dearly.

"…Everyone…"

There was a tear on Kiba's cheek. His expression was filled with sadness and anger. Then it happened. The orb that Kiba held started giving out shallow lights. The lights started to spread and it eventually covered the whole school field. From the ground there were lights coming out and it started to form a shape. Then it formed into a proper shape. It took the shape of people. There were boys and girls who were giving out blue-white lights and they were surrounding Kiba. Were they perhap…

"The various powers that are present on this battlefield made the spirits within the orbs appear."

Akeno-san said. Things like this happen? Demonic-swords, holy-swords, Devils and Fallen-Angels. Everything was present here. So it was not weird for this to happen?

They looked at Kiba with a dear and sad expression.

"Everyone! I…I!"

Yes. Even I understood. They were also the ones who were involved in the "Holy-sword project". They were the ones who were disposed of.

"…I have alway…always thought about it. Was it all right that I was the only one that survived… There were those who had more dreams than me. There were those who wanted to live more than me. Is it alright that I am the only one to have a peaceful life…"

Then one boy's spirit smiled and it seemed like he wanted to say something. He was moving his lips but I couldn't understand what he was saying because I couldn't read lips. Then Akeno-san read it for me,

"…Don't worry about us any more. You are alive at least. That's what they are saying."

There were tears coming out from both of his eyes because it seemed like their thoughts reached him. Then the spirits of boys and girls started to move their lips in a rhythm. Were they singing?

"…The sacred song."

Asia mumbled.

They were singing the sacred-song… Kiba started to sing while shedding tears. When they were going through the painful experiment, this was the only thing they obtained to keep their hopes and dreams. This was the only support they had to continue living during their harsh life. Kiba and his comrades had the smiles of innocent children.

! Their bodies started to glow blue-white. Those lights were getting brighter, with Kiba in the center.

[We were no good alone.]

[We didn't have enough elements to wield the holy swords. But.]

[It will be okay if we are together.]

I could also hear their voices. I felt warmth. Something warm that was thinking about friends and comrades… There were tears flowing out of my eyes suddenly.

[You have to accept the holy-sword.]

[It's not scary.]

[Even if God is watching.]

[Our hearts are always…]

[ONE.]

Their spirits went up into the heaven and they turned into a big light that fell down to Kiba.

[Master]

Hangaku spoke to me. What is it? In an emotional situation like this!

[That "Knight" has reached it.]

I'm asking what do you mean!

[Sacred Gears change and evolve while using the feelings of the possessors as a key. But there is a different territory to that. When the feelings and the wishes of the possessor does a dramatic change that it changes the flow of this world, the Sacred Gear reaches it. Yes. This is…]

Hangaku made a dramatic pause.

[Balance Break.]

The light that split the abyss night looked as if it was giving blessings to Kiba.

(Kiba POV)

I just wanted to live. I escaped from the research laboratory by myself and that was the only thing I thought about while vomiting out blood and running. I got out of the forest and met a little girl, a high-class devil, while the light of my life was disappearing.

"What do you desire?"

The crimson haired girl asked while she held me, who was on the verge of death. I just mumbled one word while my vision was blurring. "Help". My life. My friends. My future. My friends. My power. My talent. My…

I just wished while having all of these thoughts. Those were my last words as a human.

"To live as a devil. That was the wish of my master, and also my wish. I thought that, it was fine. But… I couldn't forget my hatred towards the Excaliburs and my comrades' vengeance… No, I could have forgotten about it. I…"

I have the best comrades now. Ise-kun and Koneko-chan. They helped me, who was driven by vengeance. I thought about it while searching for the holy-sword wielder. There are comrades who would help me. I thought that "Isn't this already enough for me?" But if my former comrades' spirits are wishing for their vengeance, I can't let go of my demonic-swords that carry their hatred. But my thoughts were just released.

[Don't worry about us. At least you live.]

My former-comrades weren't wishing for me to deliver their vengeance. They weren't wishing for it!

"But it's not like everything is solved."

Yes, it hasn't ended. If I don't take down the evil thing right in front of me, there will be a repetition of the incident that happened to us.

"Balba Galilei. As long as I don't kill you, there will be those who would suffer the same fate as us."

"Hmph. It's been said for a long time that research always comes with sacrifices. Haven't you realised that yet?"

You certainly are evil!

"Kibaaaaaaaa! Cut down both Freed and Excalibur!"

…Ise-kun.

''Go pummel his face!''

...Toyohisa-kun

"You are the "Knight" of the Gremory group and my comrade! My friend! Fight Kibaaaaaaa! Don't waste their feelings and spirit!"

"You have helped me. Even if you won't profit from it. Even if you might have received punishment from our master…"

"Yuuto! Do it! You have to finish this yourself! Surpass Excalibur! You are the servant of I, Rias Gremory! My "Knight" will not lose to a mere Excalibur!"

"Yuuto-kun! I believe in you!"

Buchou. Fuku-buchou. Rias-buchou,Akeno-san

"…Yuuto-senpai!"

Koneko-chan.

"Please do your best!"

Everyone.

"Hahaha! Why are you crying? You were singing with joy with the ghost-chan. It's really a nuisance. It's totally the worst. You know I hate that song. Just listening to it makes the hair on my skin crawl! I don't want to hear it any more. I'm totally at my limit! I'm going to cut you into pieces and calm myself! With this ultimate Excalibur that has merged 4 of them!"

Freed Sellzen. My comrades' spirits reside within you. I can't allow you to do evil deeds with them any longer! These tears I have are tears of determination.

"…I will become a sword."

My comrades. My comrades who have merged with my spirit. Let us overcome it together. The feelings we couldn't say back then! The wishes we couldn't fulfil back then! Right now, right here!

"I shall become the sword of Buchou and my comrades! Please respond to my feelings now! Sword-Rebirth!"

My Sacred Gear and the spirits of my comrades mixed. It started to align and formed a shape. The demonic power and the holy power were combining.

Yes, this sensation. My Sacred Gear is…my comrade is telling me-that this is sublimation. It was giving out divine light and an ominous aura. What appeared in my hand was a single sword… It's completed, everyone.

"Balance-Breaker "Sword of the Betrayer". You shall receive the power of this sword that has both the power of light and demonic powers with your own body."

I ran towards Freed.

My trait as a "Knight" is speed! Freed tried to grasp my movement with his eyes, but I got out of his sight by doing a few feints.

GINNNNNNNNNG!

Even so, Freed blocked my strike. Seriously. You are quite a skilled, exiled-exorcist. But the aura that was covering his Excalibur was being erased by my sword.

"! That sword surpasses the originator of holy-swords!?"

He said in a shocked voice.

"If that was the true Excalibur, then I could not have won against it. But that Excalibur cannot cut the feelings of me and my comrades!"

"Chi!"

Freed clicked his tongue, and stepped back after he pushed me back.

"Stretccccccch!"

His Excalibur started to twist as if it were alive! It moved randomly and came towards me with intense speed! The ability of "Excalibur Mimic"! I see. It has four of the abilities. Then his sword split into two at the tip of the blade, and started to come at me with god speed. This is the ability of "Excalibur Rapidly". If I remember, its trait was its velocity. It accurately tried to pierce me from every direction, but I blocked each strike. Your killing intent is easy to read. If I know which direction the killing intent is coming from, parrying it is very easy.

"Why!? Why isn't it hitting!? You are supposed to be the unrivalled holy-sword-sama, aren't you!? Weren't you supposed to have lots of legends of being the ultimate sword!?"

Freed shouted. I could see that his expression was filled with both enjoyment and impatience.

"Then! Then I have to add this as well!"

The tip of the holy-sword disappeared. Transparency pheromone? This is the power of "Excalibur Transparency". The ability to make the blade transparent. But if he doesn't change the direction of his killing intent, even if I can't see the blade…

GIIN! GIN! GIN! GIIIN!

The transparent sword and my sword made sparks. I was parrying all of his attacks.

"…!"

Freed narrowed his eyes and made a shocked face.

"Yes. Keep him there like that."

Xenovia suddenly intruded. She held the holy-sword in her left-hand, and put her right-hand in the air.

"Saint Peter. Saint Basil the Great. Saint Denis. Holy-mother Mary. Please hear my voice."

She started to chant something. What was she trying to do? I was in doubt, but the space in front of me got distorted. Xenovia put her hand in the middle of the distorted space. She put her hand in, and pulled something right out of the dimensional gap. What appeared was a single sword that gave out a holy aura.

"In the names of the saints whom reside within this blade, I will release it. Durandal!"

Durandal!? It's a sword that is so famous that it is on par with Excalibur. And I have it that, in terms of slashing, it is the ultimate sword. Why does she have it?

"A Durandal!?"

"You were not the wielder of the Excalibur!?"

Not just Balba, even Kokabiel couldn't hide his astonishment.

"Wrong. I was originally the wielder of Durandal. I was also chosen as the holder of the Excalibur. That's all."

Xenovia made a stance with Durandal. Two-sword style along with the Excalibur.

"Absurd! According to my research, we haven't reached the stage where someone can wield Durandal!?"

"Of course. Even in the Vatican, they haven't made someone who can wield Durandal artificially."

"Then why!?"

"Unlike those common artificial holy-sword wielders like Irina, I'm a natural born wielder."

Balba became speechless at her words. Unlike us, Xenovia was someone who was blessed to naturally wield the holy-sword.

"Durandal is a sword that ravages beyond what people can imagine. It cuts anything it touches. It doesn't even listen to me most of the time. That's why I have to keep it in another dimension, otherwise it would be dangerous. Even I, the holder, has a hard time with it. Now, Freed Sellzen. Thanks to you, we can have the decisive battle between Excalibur and Durandal. Right now, I'm shaking with enjoyment. Don't die in a single strike okay? At least use the Excalibur to its fullest!"

The blade of Durandal started to give out more holy-aura than the Excalibur Freed held. That aura! It had more power than my Holy-demonic sword!

"Is that even allowed!? It became a situation like this! You shitty bitch! I don't need any of that for this setting!"

Freed shouted and moved his killing intent to Xenovia. I couldn't see with my eyes, but he probably slashed his transparent sword towards her.

GAKIIIN!

With a single side slash, the Excalibur shattered. Because of the pressure given by the swing of Durandal, there was a big hole in the school field.

"So it's just a broken holy-sword, huh. It can't even compete with my Durandal."

Xenovia made a sigh while looking bored. What an incredible power. It can't even be compared with her "Excalibur Destruction".

"Are you serious!? Are you really serious!? The legendary Excalibur-chan is shattered into pieces!? Horrible! This is really horrible! Kaaaa! Was it wrong to use something that was broken from the start? The shallowness of humans. The foolishness of the Church. I want to grow up while taking a glimpse of it!"

His killing intent became weak, and I went right at him! He also couldn't respond to it! Checkmate! He tried to block my Holy-demonic sword with the remnants of his Excalibur but…

BAAAKIIIN!

A shallow shattering sound echoed. The sound of the Excalibur crumbling.

"Did you see it? Our powers have surpassed Excalibur."

I cut down Freed as soon as I shattered the Excalibur.

Freed fell down while blood came out of the wound I made from his shoulder to the side of his stomach.

I won…

We surpassed the Excalibur. I gripped the Holy-demonic sword hard and looked up to the sky. Rather than an inexpressible feeling, the feeling of losing my aim was greater. It felt like the only reason I was living…the only reason I was allowed to live…disappeared.

"Ho…Holy-demonic sword…? Impossible… The polar opposite of two things cannot merge…"

Balba Galilei made a strong expression. That's right. It hasn't finished yet. As long as I don't defeat him, the tragedy will continue. We cannot allow other people to meet the same fate as us.

"Balba Galilei. Prepare yourself."

I pointed my Holy-demonic sword at him and tried to slash at him. Now my comrades. Let's finish it with this! Let's finish everything!

"…I see! I understand now! Holy and demonic. It will be an explanation, if the beings that represent the two become unbalanced! Then not only the Maou but the God has also…"

STAB.

A spear of light pierced through Balba's chest, who seemed like he realised something.

This is!

GOUGH!

Balba went down after throwing a solid amount of blood. I went up to him to confirm his state. And he had already passed away.

"Balba. You were remarkable. The reason you went up to that conclusion proves that. But, I don't mind whether you are with me or not. I could have done it by myself from the beginning."

Kokabiel who was up in the air was sneering. The one who killed Balba was Kokabiel.

"Hahahaha! Kahahahahahahahaha!"

Kokabiel laughed loudly and landed on the ground. An overwhelming pressure. The leader of the fallen-angels finally stood in front of us while sending out an intense aura and confidence. While smiling fearlessly he said,

"Increase the power of Sekiryuutei and transfer it to someone else."

He made an order full of confidence, and Buchou got enraged.

"Are you trying to give us a chance!? Don't mess around!"

"Don't mess around? Hahaha. You guys are the ones who are messing around. Do you guys think you can defeat me?"

Just being stared at with those eyes felt like my body would get pierced. My whole body was controlled by fear… This is the pressure of the fallen-angel that has been recorded in the bible since ancient time. There was sweat coming from my hand that was holding onto the Holy-demonic sword and the cold feeling continued up to my fingertips. This shivering couldn't be compared to the one I had in the battle against the house of Phoenix.

…Battle to the death. You couldn't stand in this place unless you were prepared to die and you had to accept the fact that it wouldn't be weird to lose your life. I have to change my motivation. Even if my grudge disappeared, the battle hasn't. My comrades wished for my survival. I need to live on. I will go through this battle. I will live on as a devil, and as a part of the Gremory group! Please lend me your strength. The Holy-demonic sword created by me and my comrades' feelings!

"…Ise. Activate your Sacred Gear."

Ise answered Buchou's order.

[Boost!]

Along with the mechanical sound, a red light emanated from his Sacred Gear.

A few minutes from then. We couldn't move a single step. We were waiting for Ise-kun's boost while not moving an inch. We could have gone towards the fallen-angel if he let his guard down. But the fallen-angel didn't show a single chance while he just stood still. I could only imagine getting countered by him if I went against him. So we couldn't make a fatal move. Most likely, everyone here was in the same situation. I could only wait for the power of Sekiryuutei to increase while swallowing my saliva and trembling.

"…It's here!"

Ise-kun's gauntlet emitted a brighter light. The boost had probably reached the limit.

"Now. Who will you transfer it to?"

Kokabiel asked with an interested voice. The one who put their hand up to Kokabiel's question was…Buchou.

"Ise!"

"Yes!"

Ise-kun started to transfer the power at Buchou's call. Both of them held onto each other's hand. From their clasped hands, I could feel the aura of trust and the unspoken love they had towards each other. The light on the jewel passed onto Buchou, and the red-aura that covered her body increased drastically.

! I felt the great amount of aura from her with my skin, and an enormous amount of power was created within her hand. An amount that seemed like it wouldn't even leave a single speck of dust. If you were hit by that, the majority of people would perish. But her opponent was…

"Fuhahaha! Good! That flow of demonic power! The demonic-power I can feel right now is that of an ultimate-class devil. A little bit more then you would reach that of a Maou, Rias Gremory! Looks like you have a talent equal to that of your brother's!"

The fallen-angel leader laughed as if he was truly enjoying it. His expression was coloured in ecstasy. He was feeling…pleasure for War!

"Blow awaaaaaaaaay!"

From Buchou's hand, the highest amount of the block of demonic power was shot out covered in the power of destruction!

GOOOOOOOOON!

It made a shock wave that felt like it shook the ground, and the powerful shot was heading towards Kokabiel. With his hand… No, with both his hands put in front of him, he tried to deflect it.

"Interesting! Interesting indeed, Maou's sister!"

On Kokabiel's hand, the energy of the fallen angels, the power of light gathered.

DOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Kokabiel took Buchou's shot head on. His expression surpassed that of a normal one and looked dreadful.

"Nuuuuuuuuuun!"

Buchou's shot started to get pushed back, and started to lose its shape! He couldn't be defeated even with that amount of demonic-power!? But Kokabiel also wasn't uninjured. His black robe was tattered in places, and his hands were bloody. But his ability to block demonic power certainly decreased. Possibly because of the attack she just performed, Buchou's breathing was ragged. It would be impossible to shoot out the same attack. Also, because of the amount of demonic-power she just used, shooting another one would be… What was left was for Ise-kun to boost his powers again and transfer it to another person, but who could beat Kokabiel? Akeno-san? Xenovia who held the Durandal?Toyohisa-kun who was human?Even I, who had reached Balance-Breaker could only give him a minor injury. It might have been a different story if I was used to this Balance-Breaker a bit more. But for me who just achieved Balance-Breaker… No. It's not the time to say that. I cannot allow Buchou or any of my comrades to die! I will fight till my body perishes!

"Lightning!"

Akeno-san sent the lightning towards Kokabiel who was concentrating on Buchou's attack. But her lightning dissipated with a single movement of Kokabiel's wing.

"Will you stand in my way!? The one who inherited her power from Barakiel!?"

"…Do not put me in the same group as him!"

Akeno-san widened her eyes and got enraged. She continued to use lightning but they were all deflected by Kokabiel's wings. Barakiel is the leader of the fallen-angels. A thunder user who has the alias "Holy-Lightning". In terms of basic fighting ability, he is said to be on par with the Viceroy of the fallen-angels, Azazel. And Barakiel is Akeno-san's… Kokabiel laughed loudly after nullifying Buchou's attack completely.

"For you to become a devil! Hahaha! You have pleasant servants, Rias Gremory! Sekiryuutei! The left-over of the Holy-sword project who reached Balance-Breaker! And the daughter of Barakiel! You have weird tastes, just like your brother! And you Shimazu I thought your clan was more smarter than to side with Devils!''

"I won't forgive you for insulting my brother…our Maou! More than that, the insults you made to my servants and my friends will require your life!"

Kokabiel laughed with his nose at Buchou's anger. He then said provokingly,

"Then try to destroy me! Maou's sister! The owner of "Welsh Dragon"! Crimson-hair Ruin Princess! The one whom you are up against is someone who has been an arch-enemy of the devils since a long time ago! If you don't see this as a chance, then your reputation will be looked down on!"

Kokabiel. I don't know how much my Holy-demonic sword can go against him, but I have to do it!

STEP!

It seemed like Xenovia, who was behind me, moved. When she went past me, she muttered.

"We will attack at the same time."

After hearing that, I also moved ahead. I put strength into my sword, and went on slashing at Kokabiel with Xenovia! The one who slashed at him was Xenovia. Kokabiel created a sword of light with his hand, and blocked her using one hand with it.

"Hmph! Durandal huh! Unlike the Excalibur that was already broken once, that light is the real thing! Buuuuut!"

"…!"

BOOOOOOM!

The air shook, and there was a buzzing in my ears. Kokabiel emitted an air wave from his other hand and made Xenovia's body float. Then Kokabiel kicked Xenovia's stomach.

"Gaa!"

Xenovia flew back with an anguished cry.

"It depends on the wielder. Girl! You still can't control Durandal! The previous wielder was someone who had unrivalled strength!"

Xenovia adjusted her stance in the air and landed on the ground. She then went on slashing towards him once again. I also continued slashing towards him at the same time!

"Kokabiel! I will eliminate you with my Holy-demonic sword! I'm not allowed to lose anyone any more!"

"Ho! Attacks at the same time from a Holy-sword and a Holy-demonic sword! Interesting! Good indeed! Come! You can't defeat me unless you do that much!"

Kokabiel created another sword of light with his other hand, and clashed with our swords! My holy-demonic sword. Xenovia's Durandal. He was taking on our attacks as if it was nothing. Ku! Even in terms of swords, Kokabiel was above us!

"There!"

Koneko-chan thrust her punch from behind him…

"Naïve!"

His black wings turned into sharp blades and cut up Koneko-chan's body. Her body fell down to the ground, while blood came out of her body.

"Koneko-chan!"

"Hey, looking away while fighting will easily get you killed!"

I let my guard down because of the damage Koneko-chan took, and Kokabiel's sword of light came at me.

GIIIIN!

"Wha…!"

A crack appeared on my Holy-demonic sword! Ku! The strength of the solidness depended on my thinking. If I lost my concentration for a moment, then for that period of time, the hardness of my sword will go down as well. He grasped into that slight instant.

DON!

Xenovia and I were helpless against the shockwave created by Kokabiel's body, which sent us flying. I somehow fixed my stance… But Xenovia and I were breathing hard.

…We can't win. That's what went through my mind. The power difference between us is absolute. Even though I reached Balance-Breaker, there is still this much difference. The leader of the fallen-angels. He's this strong!? No! I have to put that thought aside! We have to win! We can't survive unless we win! I will win and live on! Asia-san and Ise-kun went to Koneko-chan's side. Asia-san's Sacred Gear activated and started to heal Koneko-chan's wounds. That's a relief. With this, Koneko-chan's life will be safe.

"Kokabiel! It's not over yet!"

I put strength into my Holy-demonic sword and stood up again! The crack on my sword disappeared and I went forward slashing towards him with no flaws!

"Hahaha! You still come at me? All right! Come!"

"Holy-demonic sword."

ZAN!

I surrounded the fallen-angel by making swords covered with holy and demonic aura. With this I made my opponent stuck in that position. The only thing left was to attack then!

"You think you've captured me with this?"

The 10 wings of Kokabiel, who was smirking, started to become like swords and began breaking the swords around with ease. Ku! It didn't work! I went forward slashing at him from the front. But the fallen-angel didn't flinch at all, and he stopped my Holy-demonic sword with just two fingers!

"Is this it?"

Kokabiel sighed. My Holy-demonic sword that had been stopped couldn't be moved at all! I created another Holy-demonic sword but that was also stopped with his other two fingers… It's not over yet! I opened my mouth wide, and imagined to create a Holy-demonic sword around my mouth. The third one! I held the grip with my teeth, and moved my neck to the side roughly! It seemed like he didn't think of the third strike. He let go of my swords and stepped back. Did he receive damage from that attack just then? When I checked Kokabiel, there was a single scratch on his cheek. There was a bit of blood coming out of it. Even with that attack, I could only give him that much damage. So this was the power of one of the top echelons of fallen-angels… Everyone here was making expressions of despair and breathed violently. Only Kokabiel who was at an advantage was smirking.

"But. Seeing that even after losing the masters you serve, you devils and followers of God can still fight, huh!"

Suddenly Kokabiel spoke. What was he trying to say?

"…What do you mean?"

Buchou asked with doubt. Kokabiel started laughing aloud as if he found it truly amusing.

"Fuhaha, fuhahahahahahahahahaha! That's right! I totally forgot! The truth wasn't revealed to you lower guys! Then I will tell you. In the war between the three sides, not only the Yondai-Maou but also God died."

…! …Wh…what… What did he just say…? Everyone here was shocked and couldn't believe what he just said.

"It's normal for you guys to not know about it. Who can say that God has died? Humans are an incomplete bunch. Without God, they cannot control their hearts and obey the laws, you know? Even us, the fallen-angels, and devils couldn't tell this to those below us. You won't know where the information about God will be leaked from. Even among the three-powers, only the people at the top and certain people know about it. Though it seems Balba noticed it earlier."

…God didn't exist any more? No…that couldn't be… It was impossible… Then what did we believe in while living in that institute…?

"After the War, what was left were the angels who had lost their God, the devils that lost their Maou and the majority of high-class devils and the fallen-angels who lost most of the fallen-angels apart from the leaders. So it wasn't a mere exhausted state. All of the factions fell so low, that they had to rely on humans to continue their generations. Especially the angels and fallen-angels that could only continue their generation by mating with humans. Fallen-angels can increase if the angels fall. But pure-angels can't increase their numbers after losing God. Even pure-devils are rare, right?"

''Enough talk ,I will fisinh this!''

Toyohisa ran towards Kokabiel.

"…Lies…it's a lie…"

Slightly further away from me, Xenovia seemed like she started losing strength. She had a panicked expression that was too unbearable to look at. The active believer. God's servant. A person who lived by serving God as her mission. If the existence of God was rejected and she lost the means to live, it would be natural to become like that. Even I… I would be biting my lips thinking what my life meant.

"The truth is that another big war wouldn't happen unless you do it on purpose. It means that all three-sides went through hell in the past war. Everyone decided that it was meaningless to continue having a war if the start of it all, God and the Maou, were dead. Even that bastard Azazel declared that "there is no second war" after losing the majority of his men in the war! It's hard to bear! It truly is hard to bear! To lower your gun once you already shot it!? Don't fuck around. Don't fuck around! If we continued on from there, we could have won! Even so, he...! Is there any value in fallen-angels who can only live by inviting humans who possess Sacred Gears!?"

Kokabiel declared his argument strongly. His face was expressing anger. The real truth made an impact on us more than we thought. Asia-san covered her mouth with her hands, opened her eyes wide, and her whole body shook. Even if she turned into a devil, her belief didn't disappear. Toyohisa was not affected by all of this. He continued to fight Kokabiel at his own...

"…God doesn't exist? God…is dead? Then the love we were given by him is…"

Kokabiel answered Asia-san's doubts with a lough.

"That's right. It's normal that there is no love from God and no divine protection from him. God is gone already. Michael is certainly doing well. He's taking the place of God and is taking care of the angels and humans. Well, if the "system" used by God is operating, then the prayer to God, the blessing of God, and exorcism would function. But if you compare it to the time God was present, the number of believers decreased. That Holy-demonic sword brat over there was able to create the Holy-demonic sword because the balance between God and the Maou broke. In reality, Holy and demonic powers cannot merge. If the ones who rule the power of Holy and demonic powers, God and the Maou, disappear, then lots of unique phenomenons occur."

Then the reason why my Holy-demonic sword was created was no coincidence. It turned out like that because God didn't exist any more. What sarcasm. Hearing Kokabiel's words, Asia-san dropped onto the floor.

"Asia! Pull yourself together, Asia!"

Ise-kun held her and called out to her. It wasn't weird for her to get shocked. The majority of her life involved serving God. She sacrificed her life because she thought God existed. A lot of things must be happening inside her. Even if I did rebel against God, the majority of my life also involved believing in God. Even my comrades… I felt complicated… Ignoring us, Kokabiel put his fist up in the air.

"From here on out, I will start a war! I will take your heads as a gift! Even if it's only me, I will continue from where we left off! I'm going to show Sirzechs and Michael that we, the fallen-angels, are the ultimate beings!"

…Lucifer. Michael. Both of them were enormous existences as recorded in the bible. Kokabiel was trying to take on something like that. He had that much power. We were trying to fight someone like that.

…We couldn't win. He was totally in a different league from us. His motives were totally beyond us. He was someone who we shouldn't have tried to take on in the first place… Even so… I tried to go towards him after griping onto my sword. But there was a bright red light that came into my sight… It was Ise-kun.

"Don't mess around! I can't let you destroy my town. My comrades. Just for your selfish motives! That's it! You will die here crown!''

You might be trying to look cool, but that's not it, Toyohisa-kun.

Kokabiel clicked his tongue while he fought Toyohisa. Kokabiel was toying with him blocking his attacks until what happened was unexpected. Toyohisa locked his sword with Kokabiel's light spear and using the momentum kicked Kokabiel straith in his face.

"…"

Kokabiel was angry and focused his killing intent to Toyohisa.

''Brat... I thought that I will spare you until the end,but now i will KILL YOU''

Toyohisa stood perfectly still. His expression softened and he turned to Akeno-san saying something silently. Akeno-san's eye widened.

''TOYOHISA!''

She screamed put he paid no mind to her...

He then charged Kokabiel jumping high in the air and tried to slash Kokabiel.

''You lost boy!''

Kokabiel quickly stabbed his light spear through his chest. Toyohisa ended up coughing blood.

''...T-The one...who lost is...YOU!''

He said then quickly draw a gun from his back and shot straight at Kokabiel.

BANG!

Kokabiel was shot. Releasing Toyohisa's body on the ground. Toyohisa didn't moved then

FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

The jewel on the Boosted Gear glowed brighter than before!

"Kokabiel!''

Ise-kun started shouting.

"Right now, I can even punch God. Ah, God doesn't exist any more. Hahahaha!"

An intense red light that made me blink. I could feel an enormous power coming from his Sacred Gear.

"I'm going to kill you for what you did, Kokabiel!"

The Sacred Gear increased the power by answering the thoughts of the possessor. The Boosted Gear responded to Ise-kun's s thoughts. Buchou also went to Akeno-san who was crying and started to comfort her. I truly felt sorry for her

"What power...What are you? Who are you?"

Kokabiel asked while narrowing his eyes. Totyohisa's shot landed on Kokabiel's shoulder, he had a hard time controlling his arm now.

"I'm the "Pawn" of Rias Gremory's group! Hyoudou Issei! Remember that, Kokabiel! I'm the possessor of a Boosted Gear that lives with ero thoughts and my hot blood!"

Until a moment ago, this area was filled with despair. But after hearing Ise-kun's shout, it mysteriously gave me energy. It truly was absurd. Since I got involved with Ise-kun, I started to get strength from weird places. I was not a hot blooded character. But that was also okay. Buchou, Akeno-san, Asia-san and Koneko-chan who were supposed to be injured but everyone made a stance against Kokabiel. We could fight. We still hadn't lost. Toyohisa sacrificed himself for us!Yes, it was not like we couldn't win yet! Everyone's feelings became one. Then…

"Fufufu. Interesting."

The sudden voice came from the sky. It was not from anyone here. The first one to realise it was vice-president, Akeno-san, who was strong at reading different kinds of energy flow. She suddenly looked up. The next one to realise it was Buchou. Both of them looked up to the dark sky at the same time. I was in doubt but I soon realised it after that.

SHIVERS…

An unknown fear and nervousness ran throughout my whole body. That thing fell from the sky while overwhelming us with its presence and the power difference, which made me despair.

FLASH!

It descended while cutting the abyss sky by sending out a white light. If it came down at that velocity, it would shake the ground and make a crater. It would spread dust for sure.

But that didn't happen. There was a white thing in our sights. A white thing was glowing, which didn't even have a slight shadow in this dark night. It was floating off the ground by an inch. A white plated armour. There were jewels across various locations on the armour. It also had armour on the face so we couldn't see the expression of this person. The eight wings of light growing from the back were giving out a divine glow in the dark night. But I was familiar with the person covered in white armour. It had a different shape and colour, but it was similar… It was identical to the "Boosted Gear Scale-mail". Possibly everyone aside from me who was at that place at that time must have thought the same thing. So all of us understood at the same time. We understood what the thing in front of us was.

"…Vanishing Dragon."

The first one to say that was the leader of the fallen-angels, Kokabiel. Just as I thought. The one opposite to the "Welsh Dragon", the "Vanishing Dragon". My whole body trembled. The feeling of my heart being grasped by it stopped me from moving. At the same time I was fascinated by the white appearance that emitted a mysterious light. Beautiful. My heart was taken by it instantly… Kokabiel made a sound with his tongue by the presence of the white armour.

"One of the Longinus, "Divine Dividing"… If you are already in armour mode it means that it's in the Balance-Breaker state. "Divine Dividing Scale-mail". Just like the "Boosted Gear" it truly is an annoying thing."

…Vanishing Dragon in Balance-Breaker form.

"…So you were attracted to the "Red". Vanishing Dragon. If you get in my wa..."

Before Kokabiel finished his sentence, his black wing went up into the air. Then there was blood coming out of him.

"It's like the wing of a crow. It has a disgusting colour to it. Azazel's wing is much darker and has the colour of everlasting darkness you know?"

I couldn't catch his movement with my eyes. I was certain that a white object attacked Kokabiel. The Vanishing-Dragon had a black wing in his hand. From his voice, was the Vanishing-Dragon a young man?

"Y…You! My wing!"

Kokabiel became enraged because his wing was plucked off, but the Vanishing Dragon laughed quietly.

"It's a symbol that you have fallen. There's no need for wings for those who stooped down even below the earth, right? Are you still planning to fly?"

"Vanishing-Dragon! Are you opposing me!"

Kokabiel created a countless number of spears of light in the sky, but Vanishing-Dragon wasn't intimidated by it and said clearly,

"My name is Albion."

[Divide!]

I heard the sound, and the aura around Kokabiel got reduced immediately. Half of the spears of light in the sky also vanished.

"One of the abilities of my "Divine Dividing". It halves the power of those I touch every 10 seconds. Your power will become my power. You don't have time! If you don't defeat me quickly, you will become so weak that you can't even beat a human."

…Just like in the legend. The ability of the Sekiryuutei doubles the power of the possessor and can transfer it to others. The ability of the Hakuryuukou takes the power of their opponents and make it theirs. With the remaining wings, Kokabiel tried to go towards the Vanishing-Dragon, Albion. But he couldn't catch him because he wasn't able to keep up with the movements that could be said to be as fast as the speed of light. Then one of the echelons of the fallen-angels who was overwhelming us was being played around with.

[Divide!]

"Damn you!"

He tried to attack Albion with a spear of light and a sword of light, but Hakuryuukou swung his arm to the side and vaporised them. While Kokabiel was having a hard time fighting, his powers were getting halved.

[Divide!]

After a few sounds, Kokabiel's movement feel so low that even I could take him on with ease. Albion sighed.

"…Already the power of a middle-level fallen-angel, huh. Boring. I thought I could have a bit more fun…"

Albion disappeared from my sight and went towards Kokabiel while creating tracks of light.

THRUST!

Albion's fist went deep into Kokabiel's stomach. Kokabiel's body bent a lot and he vomited on the ground. He didn't even have a trace left of the overwhelming opponent from before…

"…I…Impossible… me…"

"What? You said a common phrase of a grunt. "Impossible? Me?" What's after that? "This can't be?" Is it?"

Albion laughed as if he found it truly amusing.

"I was told by Azazel to take you back even if by force. You acted a bit too much."

"You! So that's how it is! Azazel… Azazeeeeel! I…I…!"

THRUST!

Albion's punch hit Kokabiel's face.

SLIP…

Kokabiel crumbled down and fell onto the ground. The fallen-angel who had 10 wings went down… Albion put the defeated Kokabiel on his shoulder.

"Looks like I have to carry Freed as well. There are things I need to ask him. We will deal with him after that."

Albion walked to Freed who was on the ground and carried him with his arm. He then tried to fly up while spreading his wings of light after retrieving the two.

[Are you ignoring me, huh, white-one.]

A voice I heard for the first time. The voice came from Ise-kun. His gauntlet was glowing.

[So you were awake, red-one.]

Albion's armour jewel was also glowing white. Were the ones residing in the jewels communicating?

[We finally met, but in a situation like this.]

[That's all right. It's our destiny to fight one day. Things like this happen.]

[But white-one. I can't feel the hostility from you like before.]

[Red-one. Your hostility is incredibly low as well.]

[Looks like both of us have things that interest us more than fighting.]

[That's how it is. We should be having fun by ourselves for a while. It's not bad like this sometimes, right? Let's meet again, Ddraig.]

[That would also be fun, huh. See you then, Albion.]

The conversation was between Sekiryuutei and Hakuryuukou. Both of them gave a farewell, but Ise-kun stepped up and seemed unsatisfied.

"Hey! What's the meaning of this!? Who are you and what are you doing!? Because of you I can't suck Buchou's nipples!?"

Ise-kun made an angry face… Hey, hey. Was that the part you were mad at? The possessor of the Vanishing-Dragon left, saying such a thing,

"You need strength to understand everything. Get stronger, my rival-kun, I will fight you one day."

He turned into a white light and flew up. Everyone became speechless at the outcome no one had predicted. The magic circle of destruction that Kokabiel spread had already disappeared.…It finished. Even if someone intruded, this town was saved. Then the corpse of Balba got into my sight. Maybe it hadn't ended yet… Because there was someone who took over his research at the Vatican headquarters. When I confront that person, what will I do with this Holy-demonic sword… I still don't know. But now… Yes, just for now…

KNOCK.

Someone hit my head. When I turned around, it was Ise-kun who smiled.

"You did it, Casanova! Hmmm. So that's a Holy-demonic sword. It looks beautiful since the white and black thing is mixed."

He was looking at my Holy-demonic sword with interested eyes.

"Ise-kun, I…"

"Well, let's skip the complicated stuff for now. Anyway, we can say that it ended for now, right? Also the thing about your comrades. And we gotta help Toyohisa he is in pretty bad shape''

The same Toyohisa who was was stabbed in the chest was standing while Akeno-san was there to support him and Asia-san healing him. I don't even know how he survived all that.

"Yeah."

Thank you, Ise-kun. You thought and acted for someone like me.

"…Kiba-san. We can do club activities together again, yes?"

Asia-san asked me with a worried face. She was worried about me, even though she should be having a hard time after the existence of God was rejected. I really thought that she was truly a kind girl. When I was about to say "I'm okay"…

"Yuuto."

Buchou called my name. Buchou welcomed me with a smile.

"Yuuto. I'm glad you returned. Also to reach Balance-Breaker. I am proud."

"…Buchou. I… To everyone in the club… Most of all, I betrayed you who saved my life once… I can't find the words to express my apology…"

Buchou's hand patted my cheek. Buchou always comforts me like this.

"But you have returned. That is enough. You can't waste the feelings of your comrades."

"Buchou… I will promise you once again. I, Kiba Yuuto, will protect you and my comrades for the rest of my life as the "Knight" of Rias Gremory's group."

"Ufufufu. Thank you. But you can't say that in front of Ise, okay?"

When I looked, Ise-kun was glaring at me with eyes filled with jealousy.

"I also want to protect Buchou by becoming a "Knight"! But there isn't anyone who can become Buchou's "Knight" other than you! So take responsibility, and finish that task!"

He said it with a shy face.

"Yeah. I know, Ise-kun."

"Now."

VOOOM.

Buchou's hand was covered in a red aura making a dangerous sound.

…Ummm. What's happening Buchou? Buchou smiled at me while I was in doubt.

"Yuuto. It's a punishment for acting by yourself. 1000 spanks."

The reinforcements from the Maou arrived thirty-minutes after everything ended. During that time, I was spanked while Ise-kun laughed on the ground. It was really painful, but it felt like I really came back.

Line Break

(Toyohisa POV)

A few days after the incident with Kokabiel I was laying in my bed in Kouh. I was all bandaged up and every part of me hurt like hell. I don't want to be stabbed again...That feeling sucks. Plus after I healed I was beaten by Akeno-san and Raynere respectively for my stupidity. But it all worked out in the end I guess.

Now there was unexpected idiot visiting me. That said idiot was sitting in a chair beside me while smirking at me.

''What you want, Azazel?''

I asked him annoyed. He gave me a sad expression.

''Don't you miss this face?''

I so want to punch him!

''NO! And seriously you should look after your subordinates. LOOK AT WHAT KOKABIEL DID!''

''Sorry,sorry. There wasn't much I could do. That bastard hid his moves well. Well now that I see you're okay I should get going...Oh before I forget. I invited all representatives of the angels and devils into Kouh. Finally after all those decades maybe we will finally have peace.''

''I think they will kill you first,especially the devils after one of your subordinates almost killed sister of lucifer.''

I stared at isn't stupid he should know that after this incident devils will hold a grudge against fallens,so peace won't be likely to happen.

''Just watch me try boy. Because you will be there as a witness''

He winked me.

''You can't be serious?''

''Oh I'm serious, so hell fast,okay?''

He left my room.

''Oh and one more thing...''

He darted his head back to my room.

''What?''

I said annoyed he really gets on my nerves...

''Your cat is...''

''Outside? She always does that but she returns after a day or two.''

I cut him off. I just want him to leave ,I better go sleep or do something then talk to him.

''No she's...nevermind...''

He paused. That's weird he never does this.. .

''Oh good heavens look at the time! Sorry Toyohisa I gotta go!''

And then he was gone. I wonder what is Raynere doing...

Line Break

(Issei POV)

[Let's grasp it~ Dragon ball~ ]

In the karaoke room.

I'm singing an anime song while holding the microphone in one hand.

"Yo! Dragon ball idiot!"

"Damn it! You should just be with Asia, you damn brute!"

Motohama and Matsuda continues to boo at me.

Asia also seems like she's enjoying it. Though Koneko-chan isn't participating in singing and is eating ice cream and pizza. The glasses-girl, Kiryu, is still choosing her song.

Kiba is drinking coffee elegantly. Chi! That good looking guy even shows off in a place like this, huh. Is that right?

Using the day off, just like we had planned, started to play for half a day.

We met up at the front of the station. Motohama, Kiryu and I beat up Matsuda who came thirty minutes late and went straight to bowl!

We wasted our stamina by playing four games of bowling and then went inside the Karaoke Box.

And we have been singing endlessly since then as the song changes.

Asia and Kiba haven't sung yet, but I will make them do so afterwards. Actually, I want to sing in a duet with Asia at least once! Singing in a duet with a blonde beauty will surely be the best!

Also, Asia is wearing a gothic-lolita outfit today! She's too cute!

That was Kiryu's idea. How do I say it? So the "master mind" can even make Asia, who was a former Christian, look good in such outfits!

"I'll start with reciting some prayer hymns."

Asia seems like she will say that, but if she does that, then Kiba, Koneko-chan and I who are Devils will die so please don't.

I invited Saji but he declined it while crying and saying "Kaichou forbids me from playing with the opposite sex". He must have wanted to come! It must be strict being a servant of Kaichou. I invited Toyohisa but he like Saji declined saying ''I' m all bandaged up and if I move and Akeno-san sees me I will be dead''. How I envy him he got one of the 'Great Onee-sama's' looking after him. Just die Toyohisa!

I drink a sip of a juice to clear my dry throat after singing. I sure did sing a lot.

Buchou and Akeno-san who haven't come today are enjoying shopping together.

Previously, I received a photo via message that had "Currently picking a swimsuit. I will choose the one that you will like" with a heart mark. It was a photo sent from the changing room so blood burst out from my nose on the spot. Hahaha, my Onee-sama sure is erotic.

Gufufu. Oh yeah, the pool is about to open soon. According to Buchou, we can use the day off to play as much as we want at the pool.

Apparently she will show me her swimsuit then. Akeno-san as well! Uhyoooooou! An erotic-swimsuit worn by two Onee-sama's with erotic bodies! What is this feeling?! I haven't feel so scared since Kokabiel...

(Third-person POV)

''Issei...Issei...My blade is waiting for you. How will I will enjoy watching you scream''

A dark lough was heard as Toyohisa sharpened his nodachi...

(Issei POV)

I have to fight fear! My droll isn't stopping even if I feel like I will be dead soon!

"...Ise-senpai. There is blood dripping from your nose."

Koneko-chan says that with a reproachful look. Oh, is that right? A nose bleed.

"...You were thinking something lewd, right?"

Ouch! Koneko-chan is right on the spot!

"Oya? The size of the thing in your crotch is..."

Oooooooi! Kiryu! Don't use your glasses to measure my thing right now!

"...Were you thinking about Buchou-san?"

Asia says that with an unpleasant face. Lately she is starting to become really sharp...

"Hahaha, it's nothing! I-I have to visit the wash room for a bit!"

I stand up from my seat and left the scene!

As I was exiting after wiping off my nosebleed, I see Kiba who is sitting on a nearby chair.

"Oh. Did something happen?"

"Yeah. Something did."

I also sit on the chair next to Kiba.

"Aaah, I'm so tired. I got too carried away."

"Seems like we were too excited in the first bowling game."

"That's also a part of it."

Both of us laugh at this normal conversation. Then Kiba speaks with a serious face.

"Ise-kun. I wanted to give you my gratitude. Thank you."

So this guy was waiting in front of the wash room to say this...

"...It's all right. Your comrades also forgave you. Buchou and the others also forgave you as well. That's why it doesn't matter."

"...Ise-kun."

Ugh. Don't call out my name with teary eyes! Y-You're scaring me!

"T-Then should we sing my favourite song?"

"Hmm, so you have a favourite song, Ise-kun?"

"Leave it to me. I can sing Dragon Ball's intro endlessly for twenty-four hours."

"L-Looks like I need to be prepared for that."

"Who cares. Let's do a duet between the Pawn and the Knight of the Occult Research Club."

"Yes, yes."

We return to the karaoke room while talking about casual stuff and take the microphones immediately. We then perform a burning duet.

-That time I witness Kiba's true smile.

Later that day, the photo of the duet between me and Kiba that was taken by Kiryu got spread around the whole school. The rumour of me and Kiba being gay increased even more.

Give me a break!

A/N: "Yes…just like that, drink my Excalibur(×7)…"

It's been a while. It's Roasin. We finally finished volume 3. Either way I'm back again and I got good news and sad news. So we will start from sad news.

Sad News: I just realized that volume 25 of DxD is THE FINAL VOLUME. Why Ishibumi-sama?WHY?

Good news: Because of my summer job I have less time for writing soo... I'm looking for beta reader. What will have to do is just read and correct mistakes if you find. I will give you a shout out in every chapter and you will have my love for all eternity! 3

If you're interested just PM me!

So yeah not much to talk about about this chapter. I really wanted to move with Akeno's and Raynere's love route...I'm sorry if it feels rushed and before you point out the obvious...I didn't want to focus in Kokabiel's fight with everyone. I tried writing and focusing more on Toyohisa beating him down ,but then I scrapped the idea as it was really bad written and Toyohisa is still a human and a weak one, so if he killed or beaten Kokabiel people would start shouting OP!OP!OP! and in general I didn't want to mess with the story as I don't believe in myself to continue the story my own way :(. Plus I have ton of ideas for Attack on Titan fic, Overlord fic,IS fic and another DxD fic! That's all from me!

bye-bye!
