āLike that, I remembered about the leaders of Grigori from that day.
ā¦ā¦Yup, Barakiel-san overdid it! I was having such a good time being emotional at Rias and Akeno-sanās meeting, but he killed it because I started remembering about the exchange between super-S daughter and super-M father!
Sona-kaichou who is drinking her tea elegantly next to Rossweisse-san who was talking about anti-magic says it.
āWell, maybe it means that it is acceptable to break through magic using power. If itās extreme raw strength, that wonāt be the only thing it can do. Sairaorg Bael can breakthrough different types of magic with his fists. Likewise for Ise-kun as well.ā
Iā¦ā¦tend to think it's easier to use the dragon-booster to rush into the enemies group and finish them off at once.
If Kiba is with me, destroying the enemy by supporting Kiba isnāt a bad idea.
Regarding Sairaorg-sanā¦ā¦ His power and speed breaks common sense, and he gets insane specs when he wears the lionās truth. To be honest, I donāt have that much confidence to defeat Sairaorg-san who has combined with Regulus. Thatās the kind of person he is.
Likewise with Cao Cao, it makes me think there is nothing scarier than power or techniques that have been heightened to the limits.
āW-Well, itās possible to block them because itās Sairaorg-sanā¦ā¦ He may even get along with Armaros-san.ā
Thatās how I answered while scratching my cheek. It seems like they will definitely get along.
āNee-sama! Iāve found you!ā
Oh, itās Koneko-chanās voice. If I take a look, Koneko-chan and Gasper who have come to the poolside has captured Kuroka.
āNyaa, if it isnāt Shirone and Gya-kun. Want to swim?ā
Kuroka herself is taking a rest after having a swim. Sheās in a state where sheās wearing the kimono over her and itās just covering her private parts.
āI asked you to train us! Thatās the main reason why you can stay here, Nee-sama!ā
Koneko-chan, you sure are strict and say things clearly to your sister.
āK-Koneko-chan, I donāt mind doing training anytime, you know?ā
āGya-kun is just as kind to Nee-sama as Ise-senpai.ā
A strict Koneko-chan! Though, Koneko-chan does somehow look happy during her training. Maybe sheās happy that she gets to spend time with her sister? I sure hope they get to reconcile for real soon.
Kuroka who is being taken away by her sister and Gya-suke says it as if she just remembered.
āHey, hey, Sekiryuutei-chin. Can I ask you one thing -nya?ā
āWhat?ā
Kuroka points at Le Fay.
āCan I recommend Le Fay to become a candidate for the magician who will make a pact with you, Sekiryuutei-chin?ā
[--!]
Everyone here gets shocked at Kurokaās unexpected suggestion!
Itās natural for us to get shocked. Hold on, so Le Fayās going to be my pact partner after coming to this point!?
āK-Kuroka-san!?ā
Le Fay also gets shocked like us. Kuroka probably said something she didnāt predict. Kuroka continues while brushing her wet hair upwards.
āWell, the thing is, sheās an expert magician and comes from a well-known family, you know? And sheās also your fan, so I donāt think sheās lacking in becoming your pact partner, -nyaa?ā
T-That certainly may be trueā¦ā¦
Kuroka shrugs her shoulder and continues.
āWell, Arthur certainly is an outcast from the House of Pendragon. Not only did he take the Holy-King Sword which happens to be his family treasure, the national treasure, and the most valuable treasure, but he also came to this world seeking for strong foes. But you know, Le-Fay came after her brother who did such thing because she was worried about him. She was actually meant to accomplish her duty as the magician of House of Pendragon.ā
ā!
So something like that happened huh. So she came to support her brother who left their house.
Le Fay says it hesitantly.
āOtou-sama and Okaa-sama were also worried about Onii-samaā¦ā¦ā
So she has such circumstances. Certainly among the Vali-team, she was the only one who didnāt seem like she fits there.
She clearly has a personality which doesnāt suit her being a terrorist.
However, Ravel who happens to be my manager is the first one to make a claim.
āItās very painful to say thisā¦ā¦but all of you are terrorists. This is a fact that you canāt change. Even if you left the Khaos Brigade and are in a situation where they are after you, you should be aware that other factions are also after you for causing troubles, correct? Iām in a positionā¦ā¦where I have to think about Ise-samaās reputation as my highest priority, therefore I have to be strict with you.ā
Ravelā¦ā¦
Iām touched at this girlās words. Sheās becoming this tender in order to support meā¦ā¦ I have the best manager there isā¦ā¦!
Kuroka also smiles.
āYou are right. I sure canāt say anything back if you bring that in. And Iām guessing the magiciansā organisation this girl previously belonged to has excommunicated her from their list.ā
Kuroka puts her hands together and begs.
āBut you know, as a start, can you at least give her a simple interview, Little Birdy-chan?ā
āMy name is Ravel! Geez, I donāt even want to imagine Ise-samaās pact partner being a terrorist!ā
I say it to the angry Ravel.
āWell, Iām also interested in her, and she did take care of me as well. So listening to what she has to say for a bit should be okay.ā
Iām sure Le Fay isnāt a bad girl, and Iām simply interested.
If she gets determined as being one of the candidates, what will happen?
Ravel makes a negative face and nods reluctantly while being unpleasant.
āā¦ā¦If Ise-sama says that, then I wonāt be able to decline so easily. Understood. Le Fay-san!ā
āY-Yes!ā
Ravel asks the scared Le Fay.
āPlease answer my questions!ā
āY-Yes!ā
Saying that, Ravel takes out a memo pad and asks several questions to Le Fay. Le Fay answers them while putting on a nervous look.
āā¦ā¦Yes, so you use black, white, Norse, and even fairy magicā¦ā¦ The ones you have a pact with areā¦..Fenrir!? G-Gogmagog!? It canāt be, itās impossibleā¦ā¦!ā
Ravelās questions continues despite being shocked every now and then, and she finally stops writing.
Her expression tells me that she canāt believe what she just heard.
āā¦ā¦How can this be?ā
āW-Whatās wrong?ā
When I ask her timidly, Ravel answers.
āI have given a certain standard from the magicians that would have the factors Ise-sama would need in the future ahead. Le Fay-san has exceeded those standards by quite a margin. Actually, I can see that she has gifted potential in many areas than the magicians I have been choosing till nowā¦ā¦ā
Yes, yes. So she has an amazing rating. In other words, if she wasnāt part of Vali-team, then she has a status which would get her the spot right away! I see, this certainly is something I didnāt imagine.
Le Fay being the magician for the pact!
Sheās cute, and sheās talented in magic! It also seems like she can create magic that would make profit for Devils.
But the single point of her being a terrorist is preventing that from happening, huh.
āā¦ā¦The fact about how she supported The Khaos Brigade is certainly a big issue.ā
Sona-kaichou says that calmly.
Seriously, thatās the only disappointment there is. It may be something she did because she was worried about her brother, and even if it was for a certain time, she did stay in the organisation that is seen as an enemy from each factionā¦ā¦
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
Le Fay also puts on a complicated expression.
Kuroka laughs as if sheās trying to change this heavy atmosphere.
āWell, that may change for the better very soon, and having a response like that is good enough for now ānya. By the way Shirone, your territory has been taken by your senpai. Are you okay with it -nya?ā
Kuroka asks that way to Koneko-chan. Xenovia is sitting on my lap after all. It seems like Koneko-chan thinks of my lap as her important territoryā¦ā¦
āā¦ā¦I would be sitting there afterwards so it isnāt a problem. That is also an independent territory after all.ā
My lap has such an important role!? I canāt help but keep on getting shocked!
The Grim Reaper girl Bennia starts to take a memo of something.
ćI see, so itās an independent territory on top of Oppai Dragonās lapā¦ā¦ I sure have learned a lot since Iāve been learning new facts today.ć
If I remember now, you are here as well. I almost forgot because you donāt stand out!
Then I hear the voice of a new visitorā.
āIt sure does seem fun to have a pool in the basement.ā
When all of us look that way ā there is a person dressed up as a sister! Itās Sister Griselda! The person that governs the staff from Heaven within this area has shown herself! Sister Griselda walks towards us while having two men follow her.
āIām sorry. When we came to visit your house, Hyoudou Issei-sanās mother came to welcome us where she brought us here.ā
Oh man! We were so dazed that we didnāt notice the visitors!
Mum, thank you! Rather, mostly everyone who lives here has gathered here! Of course I wonāt notice them!
āHow do you do.ā
Sister Griselda gives us a polite greeting and smile.
Xenovia who is sitting on my lapāmakes her body stiff due to Sisterās appearance. Irina is already away from me while sitting in a proper manner! Sister Griselda pinches Xenoviaās cheek while smiling.
āFor sitting on a gentlemanās lap at noon, it seems like youāve grown to become a shameless girl.ā
āY-Yez, Iām zorryā¦ā¦ā
Xenovia apologises while having tears in her eyes. I have witnessed her adorable side once again. She sure canāt act as she likes in front of Sister Griselda.
Then Sister Griselda coughs and bows her head.
āIām very sorry. I heard that the Gremory and Sitri would be having a discussion so we were thinking if we could join all of youā¦ā¦ā
Sona-kaichou and Akeno-san welcomes Sister Griselda while putting on a proper posture.
āYes, we are honoured to have you here.ā
āPlease sit here. Here, please take some tea.ā
āThank you very much.ā
Sister Griselda sits on one of the table chair, but Iām concerned about something else.
ā¦ā¦The two men that Sister brought with her. One of the men in a priestās outfit is a handsome youth with blond hair and green eyes. Is he three or four years older than me?
Another person is Japanese. He seems to have the same height as me. He looks like one of those Japanese guys who looks a bit handsome that you often see. Is he a year or two older than me? Exceptā.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
He has a huge black dog next to him. Itās really black. It may be better to say that it has a jet black fur. Its golden eyes are sparkling.
ā¦ā¦I can tell itās no ordinary dog from the aura it has around its body.
A type of supernatural beingā. No, I can sense a mysterious feeling from itā¦ā¦
I come up with a certain assumptionā¦ā¦
While I start to come up with assumptions, the man who is dressed as a priest changes his expression and greets us.
āHowdy? Nice to meet you all, Devils of Kuou academy. Iām called Dulio Gesualdo. Letās get along from now on~.ā
ā!? D-Dulio!? So that meansā
āāJoker.ā
Sona-kaichou says that quietly. Yes, thatās the name of the Joker from the Heaven side who has an unrivalled level of strength among reincarnated Angels! While all of us are shocked at the sudden appearance of the Joker, the man himself acts at his own pace and looks at our girls.
āOh man, I heard that Sekiryuutei-dono has many beautiful wives, and it seems like itās the truth. It sure makes me envious, it surely does.ā
Sister warns the Joker who said that casually.
āDulio? You do know that you are the Joker who is the trump card of Heaven? Do not say it in a rude way.ā
Sister Griselda pinches Jokerās ear without mercy.
āOuuuuch. ā¦ā¦Geez, I sure canāt do as I like in front of Griselda-neesan.ā
So Sister Griselda not only controls Xenovia, but also Jokerā¦ā¦
Sensei and Sister Griselda were saying whether they will send the Joker or not when the Vampire from Carmilla faction came, but I never expected to meet him so soon.
ā¦ā¦So thatās how creepy The Khaos Brigadeās moves areā¦ā¦
āAnd this person here isā¦ā¦?ā
Akeno-san moves her gaze to the other man, the man who has a black dog with him.
āBut, before Sister Griselda can answer, Kuroka says it cheerfully.
āThis is rare ānyan. Vali would be happy if he was here.ā
āYou know him, Kuroka?ā
When I ask, Kuroka makes a big meaningful smile.
āāHeās Slash Dog. The possessor of [Canis Lykaon]. Heās the only other āhumanā besides Cao Cao to force Vali to use Juggernaut Drive.ā
ā!? T-This person!? Shocking things sure are happening continuously today!
After finding out that this man is Slash Dog after Joker, all of us are taken aback!
Today, the second Longinus possessor gives his greeting to us.
āHello, my name is Ikuse Tobio. I came here on behalf of former Governor Azazel. This one here is Jin. Please think of him as a Longinus itself. Since my Sacred Gear is an independent avatar type, he has his own instinct. From now on, we will be supporting all of you while working behind the scenes.ā
Even the dog is introduced to usā¦ā¦ I see, so this dog itself is a Sacred Gearā. Is it the same phenomenon as how Regulus acquired its beast form? No, it seems like this dog was in this state from the beginning.
Sacred Gear seriously sure have many formsā¦ā¦ I think thereās so many mysterious things behind it which makes me understand a bit why Sensei is fascinated with them.
However, this person is going to be the support member behind the scenes! Thereās nothing more reliable than to have the rumoured Slash Dog-san to be supporting us behind the scenes!
āā¦..Hmm, this dog doesnāt have any guard down.ā
āYeah, he has a cute face but it seems the potential it has in him is immeasurable.ā
Xenovia and Irina have serious faces due to the unique aura the dog, Jin, has.
Sona-kaichou lifts up her glasses.
āOddly enough, each of the Longinus possessors within the Three Great Powers have gathered here.ā
If Regulus from Sairaorg-san comes here, then all the Longinus will have gathered here.
Oh, for some reason something amazing is happening! Until now the Occult Research Club and Student Council has been settling matters together, but having support from the Heaven side and Grigori side is more than just being supportive!
If our opponents are the tough and brutal Evil Dragons, then itās certain that it will be troublesome unless we have this many members. If the risk of our members getting killed is reduced, then we canāt ask for more. To be honest, if itās only the Gremory groupā¦ā¦then it will become a situation where it wonāt be weird for any one of us to get killed at any time.
I want to get even stronger. In order to stop that sad situation from occurring.
āThen Slash Dog-san says it to me who is thinking of negative things inside myself.
āSekiryuutei, will you be doing your personal training today as well?ā
āEh? Ah, yes. What about it?ā
āI was asked by Azazel-san to take on you and this team on behalf of Kiba Yuuto, so would it be okay if I take this role?ā
ā! For real!? T-That certainly makes me happy! Itās more than being honoured!
I make a big nod with my head and grabbed Slash Dog-sanās hand.
āPlease do! There arenāt any occasions to have a Longinus possessor as your opponent for training!ā
This is a good opportunity. Being able to train with a Longinus possessor will become a great experience for me and also everyone in the Gremory group!
The Longinus possessors I have been fighting against have all been enemies after allā¦ā¦ Thatās why you canāt have training with a Longinus possessor that easily.
Joker who is next to him also puts up his hand.
āAh, I think Michael-sama ordered me to do the same as well. Sekiryuutei-dono, and the Gremorysā, how about having me as your training partner as well?ā
Amazing! Whatās with this sudden big opportunity!? Can such a thing even possibly happen!?
āEven Joker!? Please! Iāve heard from Sensei! You are as strong as Cao Cao, right?ā
Joker tilts his head to my question.
āHmm, I have all the requirements, I guess? Ah, thatās right; you donāt have to use honorifics when you are talking to me. Iām bad with those kinds of things. Just call me Dulio. I will also call you Ise-don.ā
As such, JokerāDulio, gives me a friendly handshake.
He acts light heartedly, but he doesnāt seem like a bad person. Likewise for Slash Dog.
Xenovia and Irina are burning with passion after seeing this situation.
āThis will be good. Having several Longinus Possessors as your opponents for your training is something which doesnāt happen often. Iām kind of hyped!ā
āYou are right; I also want to heighten my power of an Angel as well!ā
āYeah, the self-proclaimed Angel should learn what an Angel should be from the Joker.ā
āGeez! Xenovia, you should also learn how to use techniques from Slash Dog-san!ā
āBoth of you are really into this! I will also train my combination with Fafnir-san!ā
A scene where Asia watches over Xenovia and Irina that are arguing with warm eyes. Yeah, the Church-trio are also being lively today as well.
Sona-kaichou then says it while raising her hand.
āIf itās okay with all of you, I also want to have our Vritra user participate, so how about it? I also want to have that child reach Balance Breaker soon, so thereās a high chance for him to reach it with these members.ā
Joker nods while making a smile.
āIt should be okay. Having Dragon King join that is.ā
So his Balance Breaker training huh. After all, there are three Longinus possessors including myself.
Saji, rest in peace! I wonāt hold back!
While everyone gets heated up with Joker Dulio and Slash Dog Ikuse Tobio-sanās favour, Sister Griselda says this.
āSince the terrorists are making even more mysterious actions than before, we must strengthen the power of the youth from each faction. ā¦ā¦Unfortunately, the majority of those with strength are those people who stand in the high positions, so they are also in a position where itās hard for them to take action due to political issues. We canāt afford to lose the Gods and especially the Chief-God from each faction. Thatās why we need people like all of you that are powerful youths that can be sent to any places. So please lend us your strength, not only for the Three Great Powers, but also for each of the factions and the humans. We will give you the most support we can offer you as well.ā
Sister Griselda bows her head down. I then say it to Sister Griselda.
āPlease raise your head, Sister Griselda. We will do it when the time comes. Peace is the best after all.ā
Yeah, to be honest, it will be enough for me to have an erotic and peaceful lifestyle with these girls, but being a Sekiryuutei gets me dragged into many situations.
A road to becoming a Harem-King isnāt easy. But, I still have to do it.
ā¦ā¦Rias, Asia, Akeno-san, Koneko-chan, Kiba, Xenovia, Gasper, Irina, Rossweisse-san, Ravel, Ophis, Azazel-sensei, and the Student Council members. I canāt standā¦ā¦seeing those close to me either being depressed or crying.
There may be a situation like that again in the future. But in order to live with everyone peacefully, I will do as much as I can and will do the most I can.
While making a new resolution, Joker Dulio takes the sweet on the table without asking and then says it.
āWell, having the youth of each faction like this meet together has been discussed recently. Michael-sama also said itās heartbreaking to have Ise-don and everyone here fight all the time. So I guess it isnāt bad to have the youths to get to know each other.ā
Sensei, Michael-san, thank you very much! Having Joker and Slash Dog as my training partners! Itās more than being supportive! It sure is an honour to have the Heaven and the Grigori send their youth fighters!
I then shout after increasing my spirit.
āAll right! Letās start the training right away with all of us!ā
[Yeah~!]
Xenovia and others say that after me, but Sona-kaichou says this calmly.
āNo, before that we have to discuss about what we will be doing from now on.ā
Oh, thatās right.
Well, thatās how it is like in the Hyoudou residence.
Now then, I wonder what Rias, Kiba, and Sensei, are up to at the Vampireās territory.
I hope nothing happens to them.
