[Guilty Crown OST – Krone]
"I don't think I can help you."
Takumi said while trying to leave. But, Koneko held onto him and didn't let him go. When I suggested the plan to destroy Excalibur, Koneko thought about it and agreed.
"I will help as well. It's about Yuuto-senpai, isn't it right?"
That's what she exactly said. As expected of Koneko! Takumi on the other hand tried to leave. But, Koneko caught him.
"Akita, why me? It's your group's problem, and as I told you I don't think I can help you. Even so, I belong to the House of Sitri, that's why I shouldn't take part in this."
Takumi told me.
"Takumi, you are the only Devil that I know who can help me."
"Sorry, but I can't help you, that's because Kaichou would punish me if I do that."
The fear you have towards Kaichou is appearing on your face. To think Kaichou is that scary…
"The thing is that my Master is very strict, unlike your Master which is kinder."
Rias-buchou is kind and strict, that's correct. But is Kaichou really that strict? After I made up my mind, I went looking for Shidou Irina and Xenovia inside the town with Koneko and Takumi.
"Koneko-san, did you know that Kiba is a victim of the Holy-sword Project and also harbors a grudge towards Excalibur?"
Koneko nodded at my 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, isn't that right?"
"…Yes, that's right."
"That's why I thought we could help them retrieve the stolen Excaliburs, with Kiba being the main character. 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 fulfill his wish, that's correct?"
That's correct. I nodded my head with a smile. If that happened, then Kiba would get his revenge and everything would be fine. Then he would continue doing the Devils' job with us with a smile. That's what I'm thinking.
"Kiba wants to win against Excalibur and get his and his former companions' revenge. Xenovia and Irina want to retrieve the Excaliburs from the Fallen-Angels even if they have to destroy them. Then, we have the same target. What's left is to see if those two will listen to us, the Devils."
"…It seems hard."
"Hmmm… Yes."
It's just like Koneko said. To tell you the truth, the possibility of it happening isn't that high. There is also that other thing…
"…It's a secret from Buchou and the other members."
Yes, just like she said this the other thing. We can't let this to be known by Rias-buchou and Akeno. Rias-buchou would definitely object.
[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 kind of stuff. When I went to rescue Asia, she was against it. I 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. That means I might die from this.
"That's why you can leave, Koneko-san. Takumi. You can also run away if it gets dangerous."
"Then, I will do just that. If Kaichou punished me for this, it's you fault."
You can only run away if it gets dangerous, remember that.
"Sure. But if the negotiation is a success, then I want you to help me."
"I will try to help you."
There aren't any other male Devils that I can talk to. So, I'm depending on you Takumi.
"I won't run away. It's for our comrade."
…Koneko 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 are two girls wearing white robes, praying on the road. Wow… They are standing out. It is easy to find them. It looked like they are quite troubled. People walking past them are giving them odd looks.
"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? 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 horribly. What is 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 looks similar to Donald Trump and is wearing poor clothing and had something on his head. There is also an Angel that looks similar to Hillary Clinton on the background with a trumpet who is floating in the air.
How ironic… I think they did that on purpose. Even so, it is not real. Lets be real here…
"…I think its…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!"
"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 quarrel by banging their heads against each other…
GRUMBLE
Then we heard the sound of their stomachs grumble from a distance away from them. The two of them dropped onto the ground with their stomachs grumbling.
"…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 quarrelling again. I went towards both of them even though I'm getting a headache. Seriously. They didn't seem like the girls I had a fight with in the clubroom just a few days ago.
"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. They sure eat a lot of food. Are they really assassins sent from the Christian Church?
When they saw us earlier, they looked at us with hungry eyes.
"Umm…we are going to eat now, so do you guys want to come as well?"
When I asked them, they agreed 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. I was worried about my money but Koneko said she would also pay. But I can't make a girl pay! Especially since she is my junior! That's what I wanted to say, but after seeing them eating I would be in trouble if we didn't pay together. This is for the club. It's for our group. Kiba, this is your fault! I'm going through all of this just for you! Kiba, you should be grateful that I'm doing this for you!
"Phew. Now I'm calm. It's the end of the world to get helped by a Devil."
That is what Xenovia said.
"Hey! We are treating you to food and that's what you say?"
I said it while holding myself down. I couldn't talk to them with strong words. Otherwise we couldn't negotiate.
"Phew! Thank you for the meal. God, please give charity to these Devils."
Irina said while using her cross.
[Ouch!]
At that moment I got a headache. The same thing happened to Koneko and Takumi so they are touching their head as well. We, the Devils, received some damage because she used her cross.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I did it without thinking."
Irina smiled with a cute face. If they were normal, these two would be cuter. 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.
"You two came to this country to retrieve the Excaliburs, isn't that right?"
"That's right. We already told you that before."
Both of them didn't seem like they are giving us aggressive intent because they just finished their food. There is no point battling us in this family restaurant, and even if we did battle they are confident that they could beat us.
"I want to help you destroy the Excaliburs."
Both of them looked surprised at what I just said. They are also looking at each other.
GULP
I swallowed my saliva and waited for their decision. It is scary! If they reject us then we are in trouble. 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 like us might be an insult to them, maybe? I'm getting worried about things like that, when Xenovia opened her mouth.
"Yes. 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 okay? Is it for real? Are you serious?
"Hey Xenovia. Are you sure? Even if it's Aki-kun, he's still a Devil, you know?"
Irina objected. Well that's the normal response coming from her.
"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 objective that we have to achieve is 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."
"Yes. The higher-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. The higher-ups didn't tell us not to borrow the strength of a Dragon."
Xenovia then looks at me. Dragon… She is talking about me. The being that is residing in my left arm… Sekiryuutei.
"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, is that 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 happily.
"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, isn't that right? Let's trust him. The power of a Dragon."
Irina became silent at Xenovia's words, but her expression showed that she is okay with it for now. Is it okay now? Are they serious? But for me to increase my power to that of a Maou, I have to increase my ability even further. But if I transfer my power that I boosted to the max to Kiba, he can be equal to or surpass Excalibur. I'm sure the possibility is really high.
"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?"
I got my 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 I said that, he came here without any objection.
"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! Let's not fight before the co-operation plan.
"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 synchronize 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 brutal. It's too harsh. 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 color of a new resolution. Just knowing his target was a big step for him.
"Then it looks like I have to share information as well. The other day a person who had the Excalibur attacked me. At that time, he killed a priest. The one who was killed is probably from your organization."
[!]
Everyone is surprised. Obviously! I never thought that Kiba would have been involved before us! So why is 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?"
Freed! That damn priest! I remember him very well. He's the crazy priest from the previous incident! He is still in this town? Xenovia and Irina both made sharp eyes at Kiba's words.
"I see. So it's him."
"Freed Zelzan. He is a former exorcist of the Vatican. He is also the genius that became an exorcist at the age of 13. He had lots of big achievements because he kept on eliminating Devils and mystical 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. He also has an abnormal obsession for battles. It was a matter of time that he'd be charged for heresy."
I see… The church also had problems with him. I understand that feeling.
"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. It is obvious that Freed is hated by a lot of people.
"Anyways, let's move onto the cooperation plan."
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 give you our contact details…"
"We already received Aki-kun's number from his mother."
"Are you serious? Mom! She gave it without my permission!"
She told them my number without my permission…
[Why don't you call him?]
She probably gave her my number like that because we are childhood friends!
"Then that's it then. I'll repay you for the meal another time, Sekiryuutei Akita Akio."
Xenovia got up after saying that.
"Thanks for the meal, Aki-kun! Treat me again next time as well! Even if you are a Devil, God will allow it if it's Aki-kun who treats me to a meal! It's okay if it's food!"
Irina thanked me while giving me a wink. Is it acceptable for your religious belief to be like that? We sent the two of them off, and we all gave out a deep breath.
…It somehow went well. I thought it was a rash plan, but it was easier than I thought. I felt chills when I thought that the Excaliburs might have cut me down if I'd failed in the negotiation. It could have been the trigger for the war between the Devils and people from God's side… It was rather a bold move coming from me.
"…Aki-kun. Why did you do this?"
Kiba asked me quietly. He is definitely thinking why I'm helping him out with his revenge.
"You really don't get it? I will tell you why. We are comrades, we belong to the same group, and you also helped me out before as well. I thought you needed help this time, so I wanted to help you."
"If I act by myself, then I would cause trouble for Buchou. That's also the reason, is that right?"
"Of course. Buchou would get sad if you go around and rampage. Well… This plan that I made myself will cause trouble to Buchou as well. But it's better than you becoming a stray, isn't that right? It is good that it turned out to be a success, since we made an agreement with those guys from the Church."
Kiba still didn't look pleased. Umm… He's pretty hard to deal with. Then Koneko spoke.
"…Yuuto-senpai. I would get lonely…if senpai disappeared."
Koneko put on a sad face. She is mostly inexpressive, so the unexpected change had a lot of effect on all the guys here.
"…I will help you…that's why please don't go."
Now that Koneko said that… I definitely can't betray our group. If a junior says that to me, I definitely can't protest! 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 rash things. Fine. I will work with you. Thanks to Aki-kun, I know who's my true enemy. But since we are doing this, we are absolutely going to defeat the Excalibur. "
Oh! Kiba is eager to do this as well now! Koneko smiled because she felt relieved. She looks cuter like this. She should smile more often.
"Right! Now we have formed the group to destroy the Excalibur! Let's defeat the stolen Excalibur and that damn Freed!"
I'm all pumped! Right! We are going to go like this! I think we can do it if it's me, Kiba and Koneko! No, we can do it! Wait for us Excalibur, Freed! But there is one guy who wasn't that excited to do it.
"Do I have to do it as well?"
Takumi asked us while he put his hand up.
"Because, I'm totally uninvolved in this… After all, how are Kiba and Excalibur related?"
Yes, this guy didn't know about Kiba and Excalibur. To Takumi, he probably didn't understand what is going on in the earlier discussion.
"…Let's talk a bit."
Kiba then started to talk about his past after he drank the coffee. It is about 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. It was living on. They were forced to believe that God loved them, 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, 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-buchou who came to observe Italy as he was dying. And now he is 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 extreme past he had. Asia also had a sad past. But Kiba had been going through a life that is 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. Rias-buchou said that she made him her servant so he could use his talents on something besides defeating holy-swords.
SOBBING
We are listening to Kiba's past with serious faces, but we heard someone crying. It was Takumi. He is crying. He has tears falling out of his eyes. Takumi took Kiba's hand and spoke.
"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! Yes, it's a horrible story! I understand why you hold a grudge against those people from the church and Excalibur!"
Look at how Takumi is talking. He is showing so much emotion…
"To tell you the truth, I didn't like you before because you are popular…but it's different now! I will also help! I don't care if Kaichou punishes me! 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!"
He is full of passion just like me! I feel the same as him. I knew he is a good guy from the day I met him. I felt bad dragging him into this, but it seems like it is fine after all.
"Right! It's a good time! I want you guys to hear my dream! You guys should know about me if we are working together!"
Takumi then spoke.
"My dream is to one day create my own anime. That's because I'm an anime fan. I'm really interested in anime related stuff. The thing is, the anime that I hope to create; I want it to get popular. That way I will get famous. I really hope to achieve that in the future."
This guy! Takumi! He's an anime fan just like me! I understand him clearly! I'm so happy that I have a friend like him. I took Takumi's hand and said it straight at him.
"Takumi! Listen to me! I'm also an anime fan!"
"…!"
After a pause, Takumi spoke with a happily surprised voice.
"Akita! I did not know that! You should have told me sooner! We really are destined to be friends! We should hang out more often!"
"Takumi. I feel the same. You can achieve your dream… You can do it! I believe in you as your friend!"
I said it while moving my hands. Takumi looked at my hand with a shocked face.
"Really? Is it possible? Are you sure I can achieve my dream?"
"It's not impossible. You will achieve your dream. You just have to be dedicated and work hard for your dream to become a reality."
"Thanks for believing in me! Then I will do my best to achieve my dream!"
"Do your best, I believe in you!"
"Yes!"
Nothing is impossible if it's two guys who really like anime! We took each other's hand and nodded. Comrade. War buddy. Even if I use many words, I can't explain the relationship between us. At that time Takumi and I felt a strong connection with each other.
"…Ahaha."
"..."
Kiba and Koneko who are next to us sighed. If I look around, everyone in the restaurant would be looking at us with weird eyes. Well don't mind them. Like this the Excalibur destroying squad is formed.
A few days later...
I'm sitting at my desk in my classroom, sighing heavily. Every day, I, Kiba, Koneko and Takumi searched for the Excalibur. Our opponent is that damn priest Freed who worked under the Fallen-Angels. Apparently, he is hunting down priests sent by the Church. So we wandered around the town dressed in priests' outfits but still couldn't find him. Inside of me, I didn't want to see him again. We are wearing the priest outfit that Xenovia gave us that kept our magical power down, but still couldn't encounter him. Where is he hiding? I wanted to find him so Kiba could destroy the Excalibur… At this rate, we would get caught by Rias-buchou and get into a big trouble. She started getting suspicious of us… I'm sorry Rias-buchou for doing something like this without telling you. I will apologize to you a lot afterwards. I will work hard as well. So, please let us do this. Like that I'm apologizing to her within my heart.
"You have a serious face lately, Aki."
Maes said to me while fixing the position of his glasses.
"Yes, sometimes I have to think about certain things."
"Is it that? Were you thinking about anime?"
"I always watch anime every day, Maes. By the way, I'm looking forward to the second season of KonoSuba, Blue Exorcist, and Tales of Zestiria the X."
"Yes, me too!"
"Anime is really fascinating."
"That's for sure."
"By the way, Aki. What are you going to do about the plan for karaoke and bowling?"
Maes asked me. Yes, we are planning to play for half a day during the next weekend with Makoto, Maes, Asia, Kiryuu, and me. We also invited Koneko and Kiba. Asia and Kiryuu are coming. Unexpectedly, Koneko is willing to come as well. I thought that she would refuse for sure… The problem is Kiba. I had talked to him, but in this situation…
"Asia and Kiryuu are going. So is Koneko-san."
"Nice! Asia-chan and Toujou Koneko-chan! That's great!"
Makoto shouted happily. He is really looking forward to this. While, I have to deal with Excalibur. Why is my life filled with trouble? I just want a peaceful life.
SMACK!
There is someone who smacked Makoto on the head. It is the girl with glasses, Kiryuu.
"I'm sorry for going as well."
She made an unpleasant face.
"It's alright, despite we already have a person wearing glasses, and that's Maes."
"Don't put me in the same group as that anime otaku glasses. I'm clearly different."
"At least Maes is better than you!"
But Kiryuu just smirked after hearing Makoto.
"I will show who's better now!"
[!]
All of us felt uncomfortable! Kiryuu then looked down at our crotches!
"Hmm… I see…"
I felt something dangerous so I hid my crotch with both hands! When I looked, Maes and Makoto had done the same! After looking at our reactions, Kiryuu's glasses shone.
"My glasses can calculate the size of a male member, from length to circumference."
What a disturbing ability! Then does Kiryuu know the size of all the male members in our classroom? I'm getting scared. But Kiryuu put her hand on my shoulder and smirked.
"It's fine. Your size is quite big. If it's too big it would put down women, but you still need a certain size for it. Yes, Rias-senpai and Asia would definitely be satisfied."
This is sexual harassment! A girl is sexually harassing me!
"Good for you, Asia."
"?"
Asia became confused with Kiryuu's words. You don't have to tell her those kinds of things!
"Good Grief, it can't be helped. I'm saying that Akita's…"
Kiryuu whispered into Asia's ear!
"Hey! Don't tell weird stuff to Asia!"
I pulled Asia towards me to protect her. I can't drop my guard in front of this girl. Even so, Asia has already seen my male member before…
"Anyways. Then everyone except Kiba-kun is going, isn't that right?"
Kiryuu changed her attitude quickly after she realized that she couldn't continue this conversation.
"No, I will try to make Kiba come as well somehow. He did say he would come as well before."
Yes. I will bring him somehow. We are going to have the time of our life!
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 we are wearing are fakes. If they were genuine then we would had gotten hurt. We walked around town in these clothes. We walked generally in places where there aren't any people. I truly wanted to get some clues today.
While I'm thinking that, time went by quickly and now it is already evening… We would get in trouble if we didn't return soon. This action is kept secret from Rias-buchou and the others, and it would also be troublesome if the student council caught us.
"There is no progress today as well."
Takumi said that with a sigh. Takumi is the one who is most willing to do this. This guy is truly a good guy. Our first meeting was rather good, and we seem like we can get along. He's an anime fan at the same level as me. You can say that he's the Sitri group's version of me. I'm thinking like that, but Kiba who is walking in front of us stopped his feet.
"…Yuuto-senpai."
Koneko also seemed like she felt something.
HEART BEAT
That instant I felt chills in my body. This is a killing intent? Is it aimed at us?
"Look up!"
Takumi shouted. When all of us looked up, there is 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 your voice, Aki-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 like always! So the sword he's holding now is the Excalibur? I can certainly feel the dangerous aura coming out of it, just like Irina's and Xenovia's. We took off the priest clothes, revealing our usual uniform. Koneko also took off her sister's outfit.
"Boosted Gear!"
[Boost!]
My power increased. My duty this time was to support. I transferred my power boost to Kiba. I wanted Kiba to fight as much as he could, but I would have to help if it got dangerous.
"Stretch my line!"
SWISH!
Something that looked like a skinny black hand left Takumi's hand and headed for Freed. On his hand, there is a cute looking deformed lizard face equipped. The line is coming from its mouth. Then that skinny hand is 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 Takumi! He stopped his movements, because Freed has fast legs. It's a good idea to stop him from escaping. Good thinking, Takumi!
"Thank you!"
Kiba rushed in quickly! He is 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 is enjoying it, which is the opposite of what he is saying. So he is still a crazy battle freak like always!
"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 is 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 rejected my support. It seems like he is pretty angry. Well that is 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 this cuts you, 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 is covered in white-blue light, broke Kiba's swords in a single blow! Freed did his second strike without any moment to spare! This is bad! Kiba is going to get killed! Then I felt something weird… Huh? Am I being lifted up? I looked down timidly, and it is Koneko. Koneko is lifting me up!
"…Aki-senpai. Please help Yuuto-senpai."
THROW
I got thrown with a lot of power! A girl with super-human strength threw me up into the air! Koneko! I'm not an object! You can't throw me!
"Koneko-san!"
I got closer to Kiba as I screamed. Dammit! It can't be helped!
"Kiba! I will transfer my power to you!"
"Aki-kun!"
I activated my Sacred Gear as I approached Kiba.
[Transfer!]
It made a sound and the Dragon's power went into Kiba! There is an aura coming out of Kiba's body. There is quite an amount of magical power covering his body.
"…I have to use it since I received it! Sword Birth!"
ZAN!
There are blades coming out around the whole area! From the ground! From the light pole! There are different shapes of blades popping out from different places.
"Chi!"
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! With my eyes, I could only see something moving left and right! That's to be expected from the Knight with speed! Freed is following Kiba's movement with his eyes!
SWISH!
Along with the sound of the wind, there is a demonic-sword heading towards Freed! Kiba threw one of the demonic swords when he used the demonic-swords as a footpath! No! It's not just one demonic-sword! There are 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 enjoyment!
"My Excalibur is called the 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 is 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 is going downwards at Kiba…
PULL
Freed's body is pulled back, and he lost his balance.
"Like I would let you!"
It is Takumi! 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 looks like it is coming from Freed and going into Takumi.
"…This is? Dammit! Are you absorbing my powers?"
Absorbing? Did that tongue that is coming out of Takumi 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! Yes, until you lose your consciousness that is!"
Sacred Gear! So Takumi 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! Now I don't feel like fighting against Takumi…
"…Is it a dragon-type Sacred Gear? That's the most problematic type. The primary ability isn't that much of a threat. But when it grows, the destructible power surpasses other Sacred Gears on a whole different level. Terrifying. It is such an annoyance!"
Freed tried to take it off again with his holy-sword, but there isn't a scratch on Takumi'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! That's nice!
"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 Kaichou and me! I will weaken him by absorbing his power with my Sacred Gear, so take him down at once!"
Takumi suggested a plan. That's a really good plan. I also thought that is the best way. This guy is seriously dangerous. It is better to finish him here. But Kiba put on a complicated expression. I knew the reason. He is 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 hesitant, 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 instant 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 content you."
Freed said it with a sickening smile. Kiba's eyes also changed after hearing that. He is such a pain! He really is, that Freed!
"Hmmm… Sword Birth huh? It's a Sacred Gear that can have an infinite number of powers depending on the possessor."
Then there is the voice of another person. When I looked that way, there is an old man wearing priest clothes standing there.
"…Is it you old-man Balba?"
Everyone became surprised at Freed's word. Balba! Isn't Balba the guy who Xenovia was talking about? He is 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 animosity.
"I surely am."
The old man declared it ordinarily. So this guy is 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 sensibly. 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."
"Yes!"
Freed's holy-sword had started to gather auras and started to glow!
"Like this! Horyah!"
CUT
Takumi's Sacred Gear is cut with ease, and the only thing that was holding Freed is gone! This is bad! He is 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 is someone who went past me with a very fast speed.
KACHIN!
There is a blade clashing with Freed's holy-sword that is igniting sparks! It is Xenovia!
"Yahoo! Aki-kun.
"Irina!"
Irina is also here as well. The partners of our cooperation are 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 is a ball of light. It is 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 you! The cooperation 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 recovered our sight Freed and Balba were gone. Dammit! We came all the way here and we lost track of him!
"We are going after them Irina."
"Right!"
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!"
"Hey! Kiba! Good Grief! What's going on?"
They are doing whatever they liked! The ones who stayed behind are Koneko, Takumi, and I. 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…
"Aki. What's the meaning of this? Explain."
Rias-buchou and Kaichou are standing there with serious faces. I turned blue.
"…Destroying Excalibur. You two…"
Rias-buchou didn't have a nice face and she put her hand on her forehead.
After the incident with Freed, Rias-buchou and Kaichou took the three of us, Takumi, Koneko, and me, to the nearby park. Then we are forced to do seiza in front of the fountain.
"Takumi. You were doing something like this behind me? You truly are a problematic child."
"…I'm sorry Kaichou…"
Kaichou is also talking to Takumi with a cold expression. Takumi's face became so blue that it is dangerous. He must have been really frightened.
"So Yuuto went after that person called Balba?"
"Yes. I think he's with Irina and Xenovia… Maybe he will call us if something happens…"
"Do you think Yuuto who became an avenger would call us normally?"
You are totally correct. Rias-buchou then looked at Koneko.
"Koneko."
"…Yes."
"Why did you do this?"
"…I don't want Yuuto-senpai to go away…"
Koneko told her true feelings. Rias-buchou looked puzzled 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, am I right?"
"Yes."
"…Yes."
Koneko and I nodded our heads at the same time. We understood that very clearly. No, we didn't know how serious it is. I'm acting while thinking that there is a bit of danger involved. So the scale of this situation that Rias-buchou imagined and the one I imagined are different. Seems like I'm taking it too lightly.
"I'm sorry Buchou."
"…I'm sorry Buchou."
Koneko and I bowed our heads. I didn't think she would forgive us with this, but I had to. I'm really sorry Rias-buchou.
[SMACK!]
[SMACK!]
When I looked at the direction from where the sound is coming from, I see Takumi getting smacked on the butt! Takumi, I'm really sorry for this! I'm feeling very bad for him…
"Looks like you need to reflect on your behavior."
"I'm sorry! Please forgive me Kaichou!"
"No. 1000 smacks."
[SMACK!]
[SMACK!]
Kaichou is covering her hand with demonic-power. He is getting smacked with that hand! It really looks painful! It is really painful for a high school student to receive a smacking like that!
"Hey! Aki, 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. Is that clear?"
"Yes."
"…Yes."
Koneko and I responded to Rias-buchou's words.
HUG
Rias-buchou pulled us to her and hugged us. I could feel Rias-buchou's warmth.
"…You two really are reckless children. Making me worry so much…"
Rias-buchou said it with a kind voice while she patted my head, and Koneko's head. Rias-buchou… I'm sorry… To make you worry about us… I can feel her kindness. I'm thankful to be a servant serving under a kind master like her.
"Kaichou! They did it differently than us!"
"We are different than them."
[SMACK!]
[SMACK!]
Looks like Kaichou's smacking is not going to end any time soon. Takumi, I just can hope you can survive this. You still have a dream to achieve!
"Now Aki. Show me your bottom."
Huh? Looks like Rias-buchou didn't forgive me after all… Rias-buchou smiled with her hand covered with a crimson colored aura.
"It's the master's duty to discipline their servants. You're also getting 1000 smacks."
That day, my butt got sore.
By the time Rias-buchou and I arrived home, the sun is going down, it is almost evening. We parted ways with Koneko along our way home. She apologized to Rias-buchou before she left. But she seemed like she didn't regret it, it is the same for me. There is also Kiba… He followed those guys but he probably should be safe… And there is the feeling of my butt aching. Rias-buchou poured a lot of love in that butt smacking.
"We are back!"
When Rias-buchou and I took our shoes off and about to walk the hallway, mom revealed her face from the kitchen. She then gestured with her hands telling us to come soundlessly. Mom, you have a lewd face. Rias-buchou and I looked at each other and went towards the kitchen.
"Come here, Asia-chan."
"Hauu!"
Asia jumped forward as if mom pushed her. Asia is wearing an apron. That's what I thought but it is different. I think her skin is exposed more than it should have been… No, this is…!
Asia! What a lewd appearance! This is indecent!
"…A friend of mine in our class told me… That you have to wear nothing under the apron when you work in a kitchen in Japan… It's embarrassing…but I have to get used to Japanese culture…"
Asia said it with a red face.
Asia, what have gotten in you? She already started to become an erotic girl because of Rias-buchou's inspiration. Who told her something like this?
"Asia… Who told you this?"
"Yes, my friend Kiryuu-san. Of course I'm not wearing my underwear… It feels cold… Aauu…"
She's not wearing underwear… Asia told me something I didn't need to know. She is certainly becoming an erotic airhead girl! I must stop myself from looking at her body and private parts…
"So it's her! That perverted glasses woman!"
That Kiryuu! So she's the main cause behind all this! I must alert her! Dammit! That Kiryuu! Her plan as a mastermind certainly shows effects! She really plans well!
"Ufufufu. She looks adorable in it doesn't she? I'm totally supporting these things. I remember when I was young…"
Mom! What are you saying? You did something like that with dad! It's perverted! I don't want to hear stories like that about my parents!
"…I see. So there was a strategy like that."
Rias-buchou said with a regretful voice. Rias-buchou-sama…? What is in your mind?
"Asia you can become a real Devil. You surely are a lewd girl."
"Eh! I don't want to become a lewd Devil!"
Rias-buchou grinned and Asia responded with a troubled face and teary eyes. What is going on in here…?
"Wait a bit. I will also do the same. Asia. You have done well by making the first move."
Rias-buchou turned around and left the scene quickly.
"Wait Rias-san! I will also help!"
Mom went after Rias-buchou. Hey! What are you guys doing?
"Umm… What's going on? I don't understand the situation…"
I put my hand on Asia's shoulder.
"Thank you for wearing this for me, but you didn't have to wear it. However, it looks good on you."
I thanked, and complimented her. Asia looked shy from my compliment.
"Asia."
"Yes."
"Even if those guys from the Church come, I will defend you. I will push away anything that frightens you."
I told Asia my thoughts. I won't forgive anyone who hurts Asia. I don't want to lose this girl ever again… Asia hugged me soundlessly. She is hugging me while not having anything under the apron.
"…Aki-san. I don't regret turning into a Devil. I also haven't forgotten my faith to God. But I have gotten something more significant than my feelings to God."
"Something significant?"
"Aki-san. Buchou-san. Everyone in the club… School friends. Aki-san's Otou-sama and Oka-sama. Everyone is significant to me. I don't want to lose them. I want to be with them endlessly. I don't want to be lonely any longer."
Asia said it in my arms with a small shaky voice. This girl was always lonely. God didn't help her. Others didn't help her. I will not let Asia be lonely. I will never let her be lonely again!
"Asia, you aren't lonely. I will never let you be lonely! We will be with you. I will always be beside you if you ever need me to. So, don't cry, but smile. A smile looks best on you!"
"…I'm glad I came to this state. I met with Aki-san… Aki-san… Aki-san…"
Asia put her face on my chest with a sweet voice. So I also hugged her and…
"…!"
My hand remained still. Asia's back is fully exposed…! Certainly, she's only wearing an apron to cover the front, so she had nothing to cover her back. Asia, your bottom is uncovered! Asia's white skin looks so smooth. What should I do? My hands are shaking because I had lost the place to station it. Should I grab her bottom? But I can't do something like that… I think Asia will allow me to do it, but she will be shocked… But I can't do that Asia, who is a person that I have to protect. I don't know what to do!
"I got kicked out. Rias-san got embarrassed… Ah… Ara ara."
Mom came back and looked at Asia and me with a grin.
"Mom!"
"Oh my. Looks like this old lady got in your way. It's fine you know? The kitchen is also a battleground. It's not a problem to do it as long as you clean the mess, you know? I really want to see my grandchildren soon."
I couldn't stay here any longer so I got away from Asia and left the scene! I never expected to feel so embarrassed being caught by my parent in a scene like that!
"Aki! I have also worn it!"
I heard Rias-buchou's voice, so I turned around…
Rias-buchou appeared in an even more erotic apron than Asia's! The apron just concealed the private parts. It's something that you can just know that it's an apron!
"Now Asia. We will begin cooking with this."
"Yes."
Both of them stood in the kitchen… But it is mainly naked from behind…
After that, dad came back from work.
That night, Rias-buchou, Asia and I also slept together. But both Rias-buchou and I woke up because of an immense pressure we had certainly not experienced previously. Rias-buchou hopped off the bed and stood in front of the window. Asia also woke up after sensing something. When I gazed down from the window, there is someone gazing up…
"…Damn priest!"
The one who had a disgusting and suggesting grin is the white haired priest, Freed. That bastard! What happened after that? What happened to Kiba? Dammit! I'm getting curious! He swayed his hands at us.
"…A Fallen Angel."
Rias-buchou said it with a voice filled with animosity and snapped her fingers. She immediately got into her uniform and opened the room's door.
"Yahoo! Aki-kun. Asia-tan. Looks like you guys are in a bad mood. Were you doing all right? Ara ara, were you guys having sex? Then I'm sorry. Not reading the atmosphere is my charming point."
When we got out of the house, the damn priest talked to us with a weird speech.
"What do you want?"
I questioned him, but he just shook his shoulder with a laugh. Is that pressure coming from this guy? No, I could sense something weird from this guy, but that is it. That dense pressure exceeded that of a High-class Devil.
Rias-buchou seemed like she noticed something and gazed up. There is someone hovering in the sky with the moon behind him. It is a…Fallen-Angel who had his black wings growing out from his back. He has 10 Black Wings! It is a young man who is wearing a black robe with detailed accessories. He grinned after seeing Rias-buchou.
"This is our first time meeting, daughter of the house of Gremory. The crimson hair is beautiful. It reminds me of your brother that I hate enough to make me want to vomit."
He suddenly gave such a provoking speech! I could feel animosity coming from his words. Rias-buchou also had a stony face. Frightening…
"Nice to meet you, one of the leaders of the Fallen-Angels, Kokabiel. And my name is Rias Gremory. I will also add one more thing. We, and the house of Gremory are people who are nearest to the Maou, and also the farthest from it. If you are here to discuss about politics with me, then it's no use."
Kokabiel? The Kokabiel! The leader of the Fallen-Angels! He is the real guy who appears in the bible and books! He's really well known! Dammit! This is definitely bad! I looked closer and saw Kokabiel is carrying something. I looked more carefully…a person? Is he carrying a person?
"This is a gift."
He then tossed the person he was carrying at me.
"Oh!"
I reacted straightaway and attempted to catch it.
CATCH
The one who fell into my arms is…Shidou Irina! She is covered in blood! She is panting heavily! Her whole body is injured! Did this happen after she went to chase Freed? What happened to Kiba and Xenovia?
"Hey Irina!"
Even though I called her, she responded agonizingly and didn't answer. This looked bad!
"She came into my base. So I gave her a welcome. Well, I couldn't catch the other two."
Kokabiel said it with a laugh. From his story, Kiba and Xenovia ran away.
"Asia!"
I put Irina on the ground, and made Asia heal her. There is a green light coming out of Asia's body, which covered Irina. Irina's expression started to soften and she started to breathe gently. She didn't have her Excalibur. What happened to it? Kokabiel continued to talk without caring about my doubts.
"I wouldn't do something as stupid as talking with a Maou. Well, if I rape and kill his little sister, then Sirzechs' anger will be pointed towards me. That won't be bad."
Rias-buchou glared at Kokabiel with scornful eyes.
"…So what is your purpose for contacting me?"
Kokabiel answered Rias-buchou's question with delight.
"I will be rampaging in this town using your base, Kuou Academy, as the starting point. Then Sirzechs will also appear, isn't that right?"
What? What!
"If you do something like that, the War between God, Fallen-Angels and Devils will begin again you know?"
"That's what I'm hoping for. I thought that Michael would start a War if I steal the Excalibur… But what he sent are grunt Exorcists and two holy-sword wielders. It's boring. I'm really very bored! That's why I'm going to rampage at Sirzechs sister's base. Don't you understand? It looks enjoyable, isn't it right?"
Rias-buchou clicked her tongue. It means that Rias-buchou is very angry. But… What crazy plan is he trying to accomplish? I know that Michael is an Angel who is the most significant next to God. Even if I'm new to this World I've seen his name in books. He's trying to start a War with someone big like that! To be expected from the leader of Fallen-Angels!
"…You battle-freak."
Rias-buchou said it with animosity. But Kokabiel laughed with delight.
"Yes! That's it! I was extremely bored after the war between the three sides! Azazel and Shemhazai weren't that keen on the next war. They then started to collect something boring like Sacred Gear and started to do some weird research. Something useless like that won't be of any use to us! …However, it's a different story if it's a Boosted Gear like the one the kid over there has… Besides, it's not something you can find so easily."
Kokabiel then looks at me. What an immense pressure… My body is trembling unbelievably… I then said it with a tough voice.
"…Are you guys also after my Sacred Gear?"
"At least I'm not interested in it. But Azazel could be. His collection hobby is crazy."
Azazel? I know that he is the Governor of the Fallen-Angels. Is he collecting Sacred Gears?
"Anyways, I'm going to be starting a battle involving the holy-swords, Rias Gremory. For starting a war! The school where both Sirzechs's little sister, and Leviathan's little sister go to. It must be filled with demonic-powers so that I can enjoy the chaos! It's also the best place to release the real power of Excaliburs! It's a good place for the battleground."
He is talking nonsense! He is gone crazy!
"Hyahahaha! Isn't my boss the greatest? His craziness is the greatest. So I'm also keen to do it. He even provides me luxuries like this."
What Freed took out is an Excalibur! He had one of them in each hand! He also had two of them on his hips!
"The one on the right is Excalibur Rapidly. The one on the left is Excalibur Nightmare. The one on my hip is Excalibur Transparent. I also received Excalibur Mimic from the girl over there! I also feel like getting Excalibur Destruction that the other girl has. Hya! Am I the first person in the World to be in possession of this many Excaliburs? I also received an element from the geezer Balba that allows me to wield holy-swords. Right now I'm in a hyper mode that allows me to wield all of them, did you know? I'm invincible! I'm amazing! I'm the strongest! Hyahahahahahahahaha!"
Freed laughed as if he found it very hilarious.
"Balba's holy-sword research. It's the real deal if it shows this much result. To tell the truth, it seemed suspicious when he joined my plan."
So Kokabiel and Balba are together.
"What are you planning to do with the Excaliburs?"
Rias-buchou asked him. Kokabiel moved his ten black wings and moved his body in the direction of the school.
"Hahaha! Let's have a War! Little sister of Sirzechs Lucifer, Rias Gremory!"
FLASH!
Freed took out an item to blind us! This again! Our sight is taken away for a while, but by the time it returned Kokabiel and Freed were gone!
"Aki! We are going to the school!"
"Yes!"
A big battle against the leader of the Fallen-Angels is about to start!
