DISCLAIMER: DxD does not belong to me~.
Bite, bite, bite! Until you're satisfied, even after you're satisfied! Bite, bite, bite!
*DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR~!*
Kyah! What was that about?! Such loud sound! I almost lost control over the barrier I'm trying to maintain here! Seriously, what was that~?!
"And there she goes, that Lisa-san of ours." Sighs the tall black-haired man that is fighting Miss Guan Yu, keeping up with her legendary spear with his razor fans, so scarily following her pace, their speed so hard to follow, is like I'm following two blurs that sparkle in a show of lights! They clash in midair, and land on the opposite sides. A moment, and the tall man, sorry I forgot his name!, turns his attention to the horizon, where he looks at two pillars of light emerging! Are those… Ichijou-san and the white one?! "She must've either be in a pinch or enjoying herself a bit too much, but considering my first impressions, it seems that is more on the latter. Regardless, you should prepare yourself, sister, your red dragon emperor won't last long and the next is you."
"Tch, you underestimate how much of a pest Hong Long is, brother." Scoffs our [KNIGHT] piece, twirling the pole of her weapon between her fingers and creating a gust of wind that blew away everything except her said brother-in-arms. "That one… Is persistent, annoyingly so, and while nothing compared to us, a fierce and stubborn fighter. I proved first handed the hubris of talking down even weak vermin like him, so even if the Bài Long is as strong as you claim, our dragon might overwhelm her if just out of spite, if nothing else."
"Hm…" The tall man's dark eyes peruse a bit around us, making me shiver when it landed on me and everyone else, and opening one of his razor fans, he hides a laugh behind the golden surface of his weapon. "Well, well, well. Don't tell me, sister, you have fallen in love with this generation's red dragon? I guess even the inheritor of Guan can find some romance. I mock you, of course."
"Hush you. Just fight!" Curses the spear-user, spinning her weapon between her slender fingers and creation another powerful gust of wind! One moment, and she slashes the air in front of her, creating a magical dragon out of pure energy that leaped towards her brother with a mighty roar! As quick as before, though, the brother jumped out of the way with the grace of a swan and let the dragon instead break through the barrier and fed itself with the Youkai outside! Oh no, we need to create another and reinforce this one again! As fast as before, we were able to close the crack, but not before another wave of Youkai enter!
"Barbaric as always. This is why I love you so much, Kan'u." He laughs in a monotonous voice, unfolding his fans to blow a gust in our direction! Miss Guan Yu, on the other hand, slashed the air in front of her again to counter that blow and shield us from it! "I'm mocking you, of course."
"Insufferable as always, Aki. You're very existence vexes me." Curses back our [KNIGHT], having a very scary face! One step on each side, and they clash once again, two blurs dancing around as the monks and youkai alike, me included, were at the mercy of their battle, each side too afraid to get hurt by meddling! No, this is not it! I need to stay here and keep the barrier until help comes!
But that power, that rumble… I hope Ichijou-san is okay! Against the white dragon… he might be in danger!
*DON!*
*BAM! BAM! BAM!*
*DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!*
"LISAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN…!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH…!"
Punches when they clash cause quakes, leaps that break the sound barrier like wet paper, blasts hot as the surface of the sun; this is the opposite, yet equal powers of the two heavenly dragons clashing! My heart beats faster than light, my eyes seem to dart in every direction, my movements are faster than light, and this power…!
… This power, is boost of energy, is insane! I feel I can do anything; I can feel anything, I can sense and destroy everything! Not even the white dragon and her new form can do shit with this new me! Faster, stronger, harder! I can and will find a way and take you down, HAKURYUUKOU…!
*PIIIIIINCH~!*
[Hey, hey. I know the power high in nice, but stay in the game, Ichijou. You're doing this to protect.]
Hah…?!
…
Ah.
*BAM! BAM!*
I clash with the white one once more, locking hands against each other as we butt heads and try and struggle to overwhelm each other! Feet practically planted on the ground, my jets and her wings go full force trying to push and force the other to no avail, the soil under our talons instead cracking and shaking by the sheer force and aura emanating from both of us!
[BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!]
{DIVIDE! DIVIDE! DIVIDE! DIVIDE! DIVIDE! DIVIDE!}
The glow between our Sacred Gears grows and grows until the entire arena was engulfed in a blinding show of lights as the centre of it all becomes heavier and denser than the centre of the planet! For each [BOOST], I push a bit further, and for each {DIVIDE}, I falter and lose ground, the adrenaline numbing the pain and pressure of her ability but its effect on my body showing each second!
"HAH HAH HAH HAH! That's what I like to see!" Screams the white dragon, unfolding her wings even further as it expels light particles from its light feathers. Power high as well?! Should've expected from her and the dragon inside her! The golden stare comes closer and closer, our helmets producing steam and sparkles with their attrition! "Struggle more, force more, grow stronger and stronger! Make yourself a worthy opponent of the one whom shall break her own fate, and let's have the best of times together while at it!"
"You…!" The grip on my hands grow tighter, and with the force behind it, I pull her closer as I arch my head back, grazing both of our dragonic helmets and producing a sound that could rip souls away. "I said…!"
[EXPLOSION!]
*BAM!*
"… This is not FUN!" And then I descend my judgement onto her own scalp with a headbutt between out helmets, another impact that caused quite the quake around and made my ears start to ring and my eyes to bounce all around my skull! In the end, the clash hurled her away as my dragonic mask cracks and shatters, exposing my head and the line of blood down my face, the white dragon falling on her back with an annoyed groan.
Stop it, just… Stop it, you lunatic! This is not fun; this is not a playing ground. People's lives are at stakes, and even your friends are fighting for their keeps, you shouldn't be here wasting time and treating this like some sort of game!
And that goes… For Lisa-san as well.
"Hahahahah, that's nice, that's nice. Nii-chan said once to not elevate my expectations too high if we finally were to meet the red dragon, but this is way beyond I was hoping for!" I hear that distorted feminine voice calling, and by the other side, using her wings to boost herself up, Lisa-san jumps from her initial laying position and landed on her two feet, cracking her neck a few times while scratching the crack on her helmet with one finger. All of that, and just that of damage? Unreal. "Be proud, Ichi. This form may look good, but I'm just using around 60% of its full power. I've defeated people way bigger with way less, trust me."
"…" I straighten myself and ready a battle stance against her. This bit of information is quite important for later, but even so, I wonder what she means by that: she's not going all-out because she won't or because she can't? Regardless, she's still way stronger now. A moment, and from the helmet's horns and 'nostrils' she expels a dense stream of smoke, as if she's some kind of locomotive.
"Also, it puts a hell of a strain on my body. Nii-chan said a normal human would've exploded with such a release of power at once. Fortunately for me… I ain't a normal human!" She laughs, her winged cape spreading to show {DIVINE DIVIDING} in its full glory and forming a halo behind her back. Wait, did she say 'human'? 'Normal human'? What? "And what kind of rival would I be if I don't offer the best I can in a fight between us? I hope I can expect the same from you, Ichi…"
"Don't." I dryly replied, and despite her covered face, I can just sense that she did a facedrop for that claim. I summon Ix from within the dirt surrounding us, and point it at her. "Unlike you, I don't want to fight unless it's necessary! I can and will kick ass as I can, but I refuse to lift my gauntlet unless I have to!"
"Hmmmm… Interesting." She comments, her helmet opening to uncover her face, seeing from here I can see she's smiling serenely despite sweating buckets. "As expected from Issei Hyoudou's inheritor and successor, you also talk and thinks just like him, as nii-chan says. Say, if you don't want to become stronger and beat everything, then, as a dragon, what's your wish? With all that power, what is your desire?"
"Ain't it obvious?" I groan, and with a shrug, she silently rebounds the question with another. "To protect those dear to me, and show I'm not just the one after senpai, I'm a worthy successor, and even beyond, as the red dragon emperor!"
"Hm~, I see, I see." She pouts with a mocking chuckle, drawing a certain ire from me, but before I could lunge myself at her, she shrugs with a bright smile. "That's not a bad objective, to be able to protect those who you care about whole proving yourself. I wish I was as noble as you are. Hahahahah… I'm joking."
"You…!"
"I have a dream, too, y'know." A second and her expression became fiercer, and her smile turned into a daring grin, her golden eyes shining like jewels and the malignant dark aura of both the heavenly dragon and the King of Devils oozing from her. "My dream is to break this fate has been imposed upon me. Nii-chan is known as the 'Strongest White dragon from all time, past, present and future', and the definition of a miracle… And I pretend to break from that fate to always be under his shadow. Even if I'm not a miracle like him, I refuse this reality, and shall make it my own! After all… Ain't that what makes us 'human'?"
"…"
"This is why I founded the Weiss team with the others, so I can fight shmuck after shmuck and earn some cash while at it, and now that I found you, I can say things will only get more interesting from now on! I just can't wait!" Her smile, her demeanour, it all started to become worryingly psychotic, and the aura around her became stronger and denser, not to mention even more malevolent. She gives me the pointer finger. "I'm glad that you're just like Issei hyoudou, Ichi. Your ideals, your wish and love… even if you have no interest in it, it means I can just keep poking you and I'll eventually get my perfect partner, whether you like it or not! Who knows, maybe one day… Some losers might contract me to get the head of those friends of yours, plus whoever is your [KING] now. Won't that be funny?"
"…"
"…?"
…
*DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON…!*
"AS IF I WOULD LET YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU…!" I roared, donning completely my [SCALE MAIL] and slashing the air in front of me to summon another dragon of pure crimson energy! My Boosted Gear would shout [BOOST] over and over again, resulting in an even bigger energy dragon which flew all over the white one, whom seemed unfazed. I'll show you… I'll show you what happens when you do pick a fight with the red dragon emperor! But unlike senpai, I won't feel any remorse in painting the area red with you!
"That's more like it! Show me your passion, Red dragon Emperor!" She screams back, closing her helmet once again and taking flight as my [DIVINE WYVERN FAIRY] dragon takes pursuit across the night skies! Not just that, I slash and summon even more energy dragons, forming a true hydra of lizards, all following and ready to take a bite off the white one, who was soon overwhelmed and surrounded by them. Even so, she didn't seem bothered at all! "Whoa, scary! Bringing out the big ones? So, how about this?! [SATAN SHROUD]!"
And as the dragons were about to completely destroy her, she picks the brims of her winged cape, spreading the demonic wings on her back like a fan, and swat it around herself, completely covering her form with its bright lights, and once the energy beams entered in contact with it, they… Vanished. What…?! No, this can't be. The wings cut the heads of said dragons like a knife on butter, and absorbed the remaining lingering energy into itself.
"Ta-dah. Did you like my trick?" She lights, twirling in midair. One, two, three turns, and then the brims of her wings shine brightly and, in another second with another swat of her wing-cape, several wyvern-shaped arrows of energy rained upon me! I was quick and reacted to the bombardment with Ix, slashing and cutting them as I could, fortunately my [SCALE MAIL] armour protecting me from any stray lost hits! Didn't even have time to counter, like a meteorite, she just hurled herself at me again and clash-landed right on top of me, making me fall on my back and lift Ix to shield me from her now barrage of stomps! "Hahahahahahah…!"
"Get… Off!" I push my sword against her assaulting foot, making her lose balance and jump away to avoid a cut from the edge of Ix! Another razor wind against her before she could regain footing, but again she swats her {SATAN SHROUD} to not only shield herself but absorb the power behind the slash! Her wings once again glow as small particles of light exhale from it and her helmet expels steam. I see. Ddraig, that's that one ability the {DIVINE DIVIDING} has that allows the user to user to fight full power without overcharging, right?
[YES, PARTNER. IN ORDER FOR THE USER TO BE IN PEAK PERFOMANCE WITHOUT OVEREXERT ITSELF, THE DIVINE DIVIDING DISCARDS THE EXCESS ENERGY ABSORBED THROUGH ITS WINGS. EVEN IN THIS NEW FORM AND HER OWN POWER, THIS MIGHT NOT BE DIFFERENT.]
"I see. Then…!" I leaped forward as she's still trying to find her footing and, without a second lost, I tackle her own armour and pinned her down to the ground, aiming mainly at her wing cape. She is a bit startled and bewildered at first, but then I hear a small chuckle from her armour as her hands reach for my helm.
"Do you have a death wish, Ichi?! Being this close and this open, if you don't mind, I shall be taking your power!" She exclaims, once again the wings on her back exclaiming {DIVIDE} to counter my [BOOST]s! at first, laughs of unsung victory, but soon enough, her wings started to flicker like a broken bulb! She gasps noticing it! "Ah, wait…!"
"You want it?! Then take it! Take it all and gourge yourself with it!" I exclaim, and gripping her wings tighter so she wouldn't escape, I call for Ddraig once again, and he announces his [TRANSFER] ability to infuse her with even more energy and power, so much she won't be able to contain it!
{ELIZABETH, WE ARE REACHING OVERDRIVE. THIS WAY, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN OR CONTROL M*A*O FOR LONG!}
"What, are you kidding me…?!"
"That's right! You might be the white dragon, but you shouldn't bite more than you can chew!" I see that the crack I've made on her started to brittle and grow, as if the armour is collapsing onto itself, steam and light particles blowing off her wings and brims as if desperately trying to cool and steam itself down as fast as possible, but it was no use! For good measure, I use [EXPLOSION] and [TRANSFER] one more time as the [SCALE MAIL] seems to go haywire, and for one final decisive blow, I clutch my hand into a fist and aimed at the centre of her body! "And now, feel the power of the red dragon…!"
"Heh… Just kidding."
"…?!"
"Nii-chan, Arubin…!"
{WICKED WINGS, RELEASE!} Inside her own light wings, I hear a duo of voices exclaiming, and suddenly, from her back, the other smaller demonic wings that composed the second layer of her cape spreads, turning to black into a shiny diamonded silver, growing brighter and brighter by the second! However, after that command, their light faded and instead ran all over to the runes around her armour, reaching now for her left arm, which now she removes it from my own helmet and pulled it for a hit!
"And now, you taste the power of the White Dragon…!" She exclaims, reaching me for a punch! I snap out of my surprised stupor and pushed my own fist against her!
*ZOOOM!*
*ZOOOM!*
*CLASH!*
*BADOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM…!*
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH…!" The light was blinding, and the impact, simply demonic. Our fists didn't even clash right, the power and aura between the two didn't need to properly connect to cause another explosion of energy, blowing us away from each other once again!
Even at my maximum, the strength behind her punch and the recoil caused by my own was too much for the [SCALE MAIL] to contain, which began to crack and let it spread from my assaulting hand, to the arm, then chest, then finally all over the armour, which then fell apart and dissipated itself to dust as me, unarmoured, rolled on the ground and laid there, unable to stand up or breathe normally.
Shit, shit… Not only my entire body hurts because of the blast, I feel my skin burning and steaming, as if I'm being cooked alive. Holy shit, that was a mean one… If I didn't have my [SCALE MAIL], no joke, that one would've killed me! now, it is my time to reach an overdrive, I feel every part of my body screaming in pain. Shit, shit…
"That was a doozy, wasn't it, Ichi?" A gasp comes from my lips, and alert as always, I shot my eyes upwards to see the source of that voice, and reappearing behind a curtain of smoke and dust, there she was, Lisa-san, emerging from the crater we created, the armour around her left arm, left half of her chest and face crumbling away until it partially revealed the young woman inside, none worse for wear, although a trail of blood down her lips. She opens a smile, as I grunt in clear frustration. "Truly, using one of {DIVINE DIVIDING}'s more obvious weaknesses, power overdrive, to try to take the upper hand with one of your own abilities, can't say it's not worth a shot, and truth be told, if I didn't react fast enough, that was going to be a blow on my side. Unfortunately for you, I prepared myself for that."
"What…?" I ask her, and for that, Lisa-san extends one of her arms to spread the winged cape on it, showing me from inside 4 wing-like capes, two glowing a dark hue white the other was in complete black.
"{WICKED WINGS}, the containers of malevolence. Instead of expelling those particles of energy and waste it, I thought to myself, why not try to store then somewhere else? For that, not only I can store power and energy for later in case one boob or another tries to emulate Issei Hyoudou in his first duel with Nii-chan…" She reaches a hand for one of the wings, which seeped from its brims a bright light ball of energy as its glow grew weaker and weaker until it was pitch black like the others, and with one smooth move, tossed it against me, blowing in an explosion of light and impact much more like a grenade! My body hurled backwards and I fell on the ground once more, laying there in pain! "… I can use it as weapons too! It's not as polished as a magical rune, but it gets the job done. What do you think, Ichi?"
"Haaaaah… Haaaah…" Damn it, that one hurts. Using the strength I still have, I force my arm to push my body to a side and then force me to land on my back, making it easier to breathe and avoid lack of blood to the brain. Another chuckle from the Hakuryuu as I turn my eyes back to her.
"I know a lot about my predecessor too. Vali Lucifer, the one known a white dragon emperor of the morning star, the strongest white dragon in history, past, present and future. He had his friends, lovers and enemies; his adventures, misadventures, sadnesses and sorrows, regrets and accomplishments, he shared it all with me, and so, he taught me so much. But, y'know, he can only guide me so much until I start to take my own steps." She starts to narrate, since I am no longer a threat as for now, regaining my strengths and breath. "I might not be able to reach or do all those overly complicated abilities and forms he probably took hours to name in his diary {Oi, brat}, nor have all the assets and traits the heir of the true Lucifer had, but in the end, it doesn't matter."
"…"
"Do you know why? Do you want to know why?" She smiles with a toothy grin. "Because regardless of his traits, or what I lack compare to him, instead of trying to emulate and imitate whatever he used to reach to the top, I will do my own thing and reach there with my own good head and strength. Learn, adapt, and then evolve, that's what I think it means to be 'human'."
"…"
"How about you, Ichi?" She turns to me. "How are you going to fulfil that objective, that wish of yours? Doing the same thing your dear senpai did? Climb the same mountain the climbed, overcoming the same difficulties and challenges he faced? Or are you gonna do your own thing?"
"…"
"…?"
"I… Never thought of that." I admitted, picking Ix from beside me and using it like a crutch to help me stand and regain my footing and balance. I was a bit stunned and my entire body stings for each movement, but in the end, I was able to regain my composure and poise. "And honestly, I doubt senpai thought about it either. Sure, he wanted to become and later did become the Harem King, but I doubt he yearned for the strength he eventually reached by just being a horndog."
"Hmmm…"
"Senpai was kind, and altruistic, and empathic, and had a good heart. He wanted people to be happy and safe, to be able to have wishes and dreams and hopes, and he became a monster, a transcendent being, and died, for that cause. This gauntlet of mine is proof that he no longer is among us, and for, I want to go on with his wishes." I put my left hand right on top of my heart, and bump it a few times. This power, this strength, this legacy and fate. "I am his living legacy. I shall protect the dreams and wishes of those dear to me with this same gauntlet, this same power, like he did, and prove that his sacrifice wasn't in vain or that I was just lucky to be born with it. And I promise you, I don't give a shit of what you think, this is enough for me to grow stronger, even stronger than someone driven like you."
"I see. Fate sure like to play with people, I feel like our [SACRED GEARS] were chosen specifically for us." She laughs louder. "Oh well, regardless, I shall break free from mine, at least this one. just you see. Now, who shall come on top this time? Although this time, the answer seems to be obvious!"
"You wish…!" I groan, readying my blade, but suddenly, I faulter on one leg, and I stumble a bit, fortunately regaining my strength and quick enough to put a foot down, stick my blade on the ground and regain some balance, a few drops of sweat down my brows. Shit, my body is still… I hear a chuckle.
"You're brave, Ichi, and tenacious. Nothing I shouldn't expect from either the red dragon, or my rival. But I guess, this time, I shouldn't push you too much. just relax and let me carry out with my…" But before she could finish her sentence, her entire body tensed, her blue eyes adopted a blank stare, and her smile turned into a painful grimace. The remains of her M*A*O armour suddenly cracked open and collapsed on itself as it turned to dust, and she fell onto her knees, her cheeks swelling up before she retched a mix between bile and luminescent gunk, as she looks like she's vomiting pure energy. "W-What…?"
{ELIZABETH, I SENSE THAT, DESPITE USING WICKED WINGS, IT WASN'T FAST ENOUGH TO DISCARD ALL THE EXCESSIVE ENERGY FROM YOUR BODY OR THE SACRED GEAR. YOUR MAGICAL FLOW IS IN DISARRANGED FOR NOW, I CAN'T LET YOU USE THE SCALE MAIL OR M*A*O UNTIL IT STABILIZES.}
"Fuck, are you kidding me…?"
"Heheh, it looks like I wasn't the only one who got fucked up by this fight." For the first time since this battle started, I open a genuine daring grin against her, who was now the one groaning in annoyance, taking a minute or two to regain her forces and stand up, cleaning the remains of her vomited energy with a thumb. I still feel a bit unbalanced, but feeling a lot more confidant, I pick my sword back from the ground and point it at her. "Why don't you lie down a bit and relax while I do my mission?"
"Tch… Heheheh. It was just a slip; don't think you got the upper hand." She scoffs a laugh, opening a grin that failed to hide how annoyed she became with her own predicament. Crossing her arms again in front of her face, she summons once again those bladed gauntlets, and adopts a battle pose. "So what if I can't use Arubin's armour for a bit? Don't think you can defeat or even stop me, I am not done yet."
"I don't need to, nor want to, defeat you now." I answer with another sardonic, challenging smile, as her eyes contort into a confused frown. "I'm not alone, remember? My objective for now is not to defeat you, but to stall you until my peerage and the monks take care of the youkai and those friend of yours. I might not be able to beat you, but as long as you're here, they don't need to deal with that annoying {DIVIDE} of yours!"
"Heh, and what makes you think your friends stand any chance against mine? Aki and Haruhi are pretty strong…" She chimes. I suppose she's referring to both Shukatsu Ryou and Chou Hi respectively by nicknames? Not that I care.
"You don't know half of it. You underestimate how much of a pest Kan'u can be. Hate to admit, but that one… Is persistent, annoyingly so, and a very fierce and stubborn fighter. Even if your friends are as strong as you claim, our general might overwhelm them just out of spite and bitchiness, if nothing else." I grit my teeth just thinking about complimenting that little stupid tiger general. "And sensei… She is the inheritor of the spirit of the great general or Shuu, and the strongest among us even compared to me. Even if the others fail, I can put total trust that she shall prevail."
"Hm? Oh, you mean that busty pink-haired one? I see… so, she didn't tell you the truth."
"Hah…?"
"No matter, no matter. Enough talk…!" She shrugs her own words and, in a moment, leaps towards me with her wings wide open as we clash blades once again. "… have at thee!"
"Gladly!"
[BOOST!]
{DIVIDE!}
Even if I fall, even if I'm defeated, I know I can trust the rest of my peerage.
Whiswain, Kan'u, Ryuubi-sensei, as long as they're here, we won't lose, we can't lose!
…
"…"
"Haaaaah…! Haaaaaah…! Gah!"
"…"
"What are doing, laying there like a corpse, servant girl? Is this how you honour big brother?! You, who has no right to carry his name?! Answer me, right now!"
"…"
"Answer me, damn you! *PUNCH!* Answer me! I want you to answer me before I kill you! Repent for your sins, usurper! *PUNCH!* I want you begging for forgiveness as the light leave your eyes! *PUNCH!* SAY SOMETHING BEFORE RESPONDING FOR YOUR SINS TO BUDDHA!"
"…"
"Damn you! Say something… MEI HUI!"
"…"
…
This name…
It has been so long… Since I've been called by this name.
Ever since…
And close the curtains! This chapter came faster than I've anticipated, and honestly, I'm feeling a lot more confident about it!
Hello dxd, Houki Minami here, bringing this time another fresh chapter out of the oven before we can close this month. I think I'm feeling a lot looser and fuller of energy to finally try to write this story and do this arc! Lots of actions this one, finally, after 100 something chapters, the clash between the two heavenly dragons happen, and I hope it is being as exciting as one should expect from the two!
Of course, like the original dragons, one is still a bit of a newbie, but I promise this is not over! But foir now, we should focus elsewhere, where our other pieces are fighting. I hope to keep the pace with this story, despite launching shorter chapters. But then again, I should learn how to cut scene by scene, I hope you all can understand, and i promise longer chapters eventually, this arc is just so frenetic.
Hope you all liked this chapter, don't forget to R&R, keep having a good year and keep the good work coming. I'm also trying to do my best. Greetings from Houki Minami~.
THE HAHA: Alice Gremory
- The mother of Nemesis and Berolina, the current head of the Gremory household and the last Gremory before the Apocalypse. She's 37 years-old and shares birthday with Rias's, April 9th.
- Millicas's only daughter, a spoiled, airheaded, absentminded but sharp and wise devil on her own right, also a monster regarding demonic power whom could easily become an Ultimate-class… If she gave the slightest shit.
- A hopeless romantic, she likes to see romantic stories unfolding in her life, and likes to push people to become couples and even give advice when asked, if only for her own amusement.
- Met Cohen when they were just kids, as they immediately fell in love with each other, he served as her knight during their childhood and the apocalypse… And she got pregnant with Nemesis at the age of 13.
- She's actually very afraid of her father, the Grandmaster, because every time he comes to visit, she and Cohen tend to receive quite an earful for their mischief. If you want Alice Gremory to behave, just threaten to call Grandmater Millicas for her newest prank.
- Never hit either of her daughters, not even once. Instead, she's the one receiving the beatings from her seniors, either her father, Noin, Mary and whoever she can't talk back.
- Like all the Gremory, she has a thing for the arts, in her case, painting. In fact, the paintings Ichijou admired back in his first trip to the underworld were hers. She also likes to make caricatures.
- Besides pranks, she also likes to read, like a lot. She also likes to drink a variety of tea and sweets. She claims it comes from her Paimon side.
- Her ahoge split in two and fall down her forehead, much more like cockroach antennae. She has the strongest Gremory radar among the living Gremory.
- Nowadays, too busy with clan stuff to visit Kyou or Mary or spend dates with Cohen. Poor her. She wants another child eventually, maybe a boy.
