153 Life.1 Even Devils Celebrate Christmas!-2
The teacher and student embrace each other in tears!
Leaving the girls who are captivated by the baby-making room behind, me and Sensei exchange a passionate hug between lewd guys.
There was the issue about the baby-making room, but we ended up having a quick discussion about the future meetings once Irina's dad left. It was mainly about the time allocation for our training and Devil's work. By the way Irina's dad was asked out by Sensei.
"Office-chief Shidou! Do you want to come with me to a shop run by my subordinates?"
"Is it okay? Oh my, I was just thinking about going somewhere since I haven't come to this town for a while."
"Then this will be a good time. —Do you like tits?"
"Yes, I love them."
"Then there's no problem! Seriously, you sure are a horny pastor! Let's go, to the night town of Kuou!"
"Hahaha! Irina-chan, keep this is a secret from your mother, okay?"
They disappeared into the night of this town after having such a discussion! Azazel-sensei's diplomacy at night not only is given to that geezer Odin, but also those related to Christianity! The face of Irina's dad who said he loves breasts looked lively! He is an outrageous lewd geezer! Xenovia went as far as to say things like "To be expected from Irina's father. He does look lewd".
...Oh well, let's put that aside for now. Though I also wanted to go with them.
Just like I thought, I checked my schedule and found out that I won't have time to hang out with Matsuda and Motohama. Furthermore, we don't know when Qlippoth might strike. So I wouldn't have had any time to hang out with my friends from the beginning.
"Now then, we'll stop here for today. Good job everyone."
Our duty for today ends with Rias's words which signify the end of the discussions for today. Today has been a busy day since we went to Heaven to have a meeting about Christmas and also having Irina's dad come. Being affiliated with DxD sure makes your life packed with events.
...Then something crossed my mind all of a sudden so I ask Koneko-chan who is washing the teacups.
"...Hey, Koneko-chan. Did I lose my lewdness?"
"...You still are lewd."
Koneko-chan answers immediately.
"R-Right?"
If that's what Koneko-chan says, then it must mean I'm still lewd. But Koneko-chan adds.
"...But."
"But?"
"Your lewd face looks much calmer than before."
"—!"
...Even Koneko-chan who has sharp instinct towards my lewdness is saying that my sexual desire has weakened from before.
...I guess I need to think about it. It scares me to think that it would affect me from now on if my source of power has weakened. Hmm, what should I do? Should I talk to Rias about it?
When I was thinking such, Rias speaks to me.
"Ise, do you have a minute?"
"...What's wrong?"
"Yes, the truth is I received a call from my house so I will have to return to my castle now."
A call from the House of Gremory? So she will be returning to her castle temporarily huh.
"Does that mean something happened?"
Rias tilts her head when I asked.
"...It sounded like it's not much of a good news. Think about the season we are in. It won't be weird for anything to happen. I was just thinking about seeing Onee-sama so I will be going back for a short time. I will be back by tomorrow night."
...She would tell me directly if things were really serious and the fact that she has to return means that they want to inform her of something which can't be revealed to the public. I'm worried about what actually happened but I feel relieved that she can go and meet Grayfia-san.
"Roger that. Then we will do the rest of the cleanup. —Give my greetings to Grayfia-san."
When I say that, she smiles back to me saying "Okay, I sure will. Thanks".
Part 3
Late that night—
"...Hmm, Ise...do you think I have a baby inside me with this...? I'm worried that I don't, so one more time..."
I can hear such seductive sleep talk from besides me!
Akeno-san who is sleeping while she's wrapped around me! Since Rias isn't here tonight, I ended up sleeping with Asia and Akeno-san!
Due to Rias's absence, Akeno-san snuck into my bed while wearing a see-through negligee! I won't be able to sleep if she sleeptalks like that right beside me!
What kind of dream exactly are you having Akeno-san!? What am I doing inside your dream!?
I'm so curious of it that I don't think I can sleep! Rather I'm feeling the soft sensation of a woman's body all over my body! And I can't move an inch if she is clinging onto me like this!
So I hug Akeno-san tightly, and—
"...Aaan, Ise..."
She strengthens her hug and says such things in her sleep so it makes it even harder for me to move!
Umm! Umm! How can I lead this defenceless Akeno-san to act to my liking!?
I ended up using my brain so no answer comes out for that question. Suddenly, someone pokes me.
Asia? Even though I turned around thinking it was her, I find her sleeping. Then when I look around trying to find out who it is—
(...Shhh!)
Xenovia appears while putting her body over me! She uses her finger to tell me to be quiet.
(X-Xenovia. Something happened late this night?)
I ask with a low voice to avoid waking up Akeno-san and Asia.
(...Rias-buchou returned to the Underworld temporarily, right?)
(Y-Yeah. She returned to check on Grayfia-san and also because there was an urgent call for her.)
(...And Asia?)
(Fast asleep.)
(...I see, she certainly is sleeping. Both Asia and Akeno-fukubuchou.)
Xenovia confirms that both of them are sleeping. This is what she says.
(Come with me. There's something I want to show you.)
I somehow manage to escape Akeno-san's embrace without waking and I leave the room while following Xenovia.
We left the room and arrived in front of Xenovia's room which is a floor above my room. ...Coming to Xenovia's room late at night huh. What is she plotting?
"Now, Ise. Open it."
"?"
Xenovia sure is saying weird things. She's asking me to open the door leading to her own room.
I turn the doorknob like she ordered. Then—what appears to my sight is that baby-making room from before!
"Wha! Isn't this!?"
I ask Xenovia but I end up entering the room after she pushes me from behind!
Then a sound of the door being closed follows! I try to turn the doorknob immediately but I couldn't do it due to an unknown power which is coming from the other side of the door!
"H-Hey! Xenovia! What's the meaning of this!?"
Xenovia tells the confused me from the outside.
DxD 18 069.png
"I thought we should use it since they went through all the trouble to give it to us. Prepare yourself, Ise. Your partner is waiting."
...My partner is waiting? When I turn around and look behind after finding it suspicious—
"...…..Hello, Ise-kun."
There's Irina who is wearing a negligee while having her hair down!
Irina then says to me shyly while looking down.
"...Umm, umm..."
Irina has a high tone of voice right now and uses her shaking legs to walk to the corner of the bed and sit there.
"...Don't you want to come here and have a small chat?"
...E-Even if you say that! T-To talk when she says it that way in a room like this room while she's dressed up like that!
But I can't go back. So the only thing I can do is go forward...?
After I gulp down my saliva, I walk to my bed. ...Even though it's a bed, I feel pathetic at myself for sitting a bit away from Irina.
"..."
"..."
Both of us become silent. What were Xenovia's intentions when she made me come here? More like, what intentions does Irina have by being here?
...Though I do think there's a simple explanation behind it. But it's too daring so I'm really confused. No, it's because we were introduced to this room just earlier you know? I never expected I would step foot in here in the same day!
And this room is for an Angel and Devil... T-That means Michael-san made it for me and Irina. And for Irina and me who are the main two beings in here!
I then take a glimpse of Irina beside me. She's wearing a negligee. Usually she wears normal pyjamas but today she's wearing a negligee similar to the ones worn by Rias and Akeno-san. ...Obviously it's see-through! It's so transparent that I can't see her wearing a bra and...not only can I see her round breasts but also the tip of it! Oh yeah, now I remember that she's often in a state where she wears no bra! No, more importantly her breasts have a nice shape, her body has no useless fat because she's a warrior, and furthermore she has a nice curve...!
...Phew. I need to calm down. The mood is important. Even if I were to turn into a wild animal, going at her right away won't be a good thing at all. What we need to do first is have a proper conversation.
...Oh yeah, talking about that will be good. This is a good chance. I might as well say it.
"Oh yeah, I remembered about the Christmas promise we made when we were kids."
I say that to Irina. Hearing that, Irina looks at me as if she isn't shy anymore.
"—We will defeat Santa together and share his presents! Right?"
When I say that, Irina is such a joy that she puts on a big smile.
"So you remembered. I thought I was the only one who remembered it and that you had already forgotten that promise."
Irina even has her eyes all wet. Looks like she's happy that I remembered our promise.
"Well, I did forget it. But I started to remember it while we were preparing for Christmas."
Yeah, that's the gist of it. I started to get a flashback while I was working with Irina which in turn brought my memories back. Oh yeah, when I was a kid I made a promise with my childhood friend, in this case Irina, during the cold time of the year.
Irina starts to chuckle because she remembers it.
"Yeah, we certainly were innocent back then, or should I say we were clueless... We sure did come up with so many reckless ideas. I sure had fun back then when I played like a boy with you and even thought like one."
I do think that I did lots of reckless things with Irina when I was little. I completely mistook Irina for a boy so I played and took her to places girls wouldn't definitely be happy to go to.
"We sure often went to places like the forest of a park which is outside the town and also destroyed shrines."
"Yup. We even took an insect catcher with us and rode our bicycles to somewhere far as well."
"You say far but we were kids so the furthest we could go was the next town..."
"But it was so fun since it felt like we entered a new world."
"Yeah, like those sweets we bought from the candy-store of an unfamiliar town. I still remember the taste of it."
"Yup! We certainly did eat things like lettuce-jirou and Micchan the octopus."
Oh man, I can't believe it's this easy to remember. I sure did play a lot with Irina. Maybe it's because she was one of the few around my age in my neighbourhood, so it feels like we did all sorts of things together. Even our memories of Christmas are so childish. They're filled with cluelessness and recklessness.
I then open up to her as I talk to her.
"Sorry that I didn't know you were a girl. But I did think of you who was a child my age in this neighbourhood who would also do reckless things with me as an important friend..."
Irina suddenly looks down when I said that.
"...A friend, huh."
Irina mutters in such way! Ah, looks like I failed! I should rephrase it!
"N-No, I meant a childhood friend! Sorry...even though I'm the only one who shares the time of our childhood with you."
—But Irina chuckles and looks up the ceiling.
"Speaking about that, I had Rias-san ask me about it."
Apparently Rias asked Irina.
—Can you please tell me about Ise when he was a child?
"I was sure that she was jealous of me for being the only one who knew about your childhood, Ise-kun. So I naturally started having more conversations with Rias-san. By the time I realised it, she started calling me "Irina"."
Ah, so that's how the two of them started getting along while calling each other by their given names without feeling reserved. So the two of them have become close by sharing the story of my childhood huh.
Irina starts to speak with a serious face.
"The truth is Rias-san has been the person who I wasn't able to get along with the most among the ORC members. That's because she would have been someone I couldn't possible coexist with since I'm from the Church side, you know? She's—the heiress of the House of Gremory, a high-class Devil. She's a genuine princess so I felt that the world she lives in is way different from mine who is a normal warrior of the Church. So it was kind of hard to interact with her. Though it's true that it was easy getting along with Asia-san and Xenovia who are also from the Church."
...So she had such reasons. Even though it seems like they are getting along living together at a glance, there are different opinions from each people. It's just that I didn't realise it.
But Irina then smiles.
"But I started to find out as I started speaking to Rias-san. Oh, she's also a girl just like me. She would smile. Become sad. She would get angry. And also become happy... Even though she's older than me by a year, I started to feel that she's also a girl of my age very strongly. Then I started having more discussions with her. From being someone I can't interact with, she became my precious comrade then my friend."
...So the relation between Rias and Irina started changing and developed when I didn't realise it.
Irina turns red.
"...I came to realise one more thing once again as I got close to Rias-san. As I started to talk about Ise-kun's childhood to Rias-san, I started to think..."I don't want to talk anymore than this" and "I want to keep this memory to myself"..."
Irina—came close to me. Even though I sat a bit away from her, Irina shortened the distance between us without me noticing it.
"Ah, now I understand, without noticing, I—"
Irina takes my hand.
"...I-Irina?"
I become confused. That's because Irina suddenly shortened the distance between us and took my hand!
Irina takes my hand slowly—and brings it towards her breast. My fingers! My palm! It's feeling a soft sensation! My whole hand is glued onto Irina's breast!
Ah, Irina's soft breassssst! Not only it is smooth, but the feeling of this Angel's skin under my hand is violently stunning my brain!
Irina puts on an emotional eye and starts putting on a seductive face. I never thought that a girl who acts so innocent all the time can put on such a hot face...!
"...Looks like my wings won't glitter even after doing this much."
Like Irina said, the wings on her back are—still white! Usually Irina's wings turn white and black when she does erotic things like these. ...So this room really does allow a Devil and Angel to do it...?
Irina—then pushes me down! I lay down on the bed. Irina then positions herself in a way in which it looks like she is on top of me. Her negligee is falling off and her developed body is basically exposed. Her long brown hair falls onto my face and something which smells nice stimulates my nose. ...This smell of shampoo coming from her hair sure does break my mind...!
Irina then mutters with a sad face.
"So in here I can do naughty things with Ise-kun..."
Irina's face comes closer to my face slowly. At this rate, Irina and I will—
I then hear a sound of the door being opened when I swallowed my saliva.
When I take a quick look, I can see eyes from the gap created by the opened door...and there are several of them! They are in a state where they are showing half of their faces from the other side of the door and their eyes are directed at us. I can also hear their conversation.
"...Irina, you have grown...I can't stop myself from crying...!"
"...Xenovia-san, is Irina-san really going to...!"
It's Xenovia and Asia!
"...This room is simply indecent."
"Even though you say that, you are desperately staring at them."
There's even Koneko-chan and Kuroka!
"...Lately I have been talking to Rias about it. Just how can we stop our junior's aggressive approach?"
"...Indecent...it's so lewd..."
That must be Akeno-san and Rossweisse-san (in her accent-mode)!
"...It seems like the schedule will collapse if I don't manage this room as well."
"Awawawaw...s-so Angels also make room like this!"
Ravel and Le Fay are watching as well!?
"Ise, are you breeding?"
Even Ophis is there! You can't say something like breeding!
"A-All of yoooooou! What are you girls peeping for!?"
I can't resist from saying that! Irina also returns to her own calm state and starts to fix her clothes in panic. But then Irina starts to blurt out in laughter.
"...I can now understand how Rias-san feels. This is quite impossible to do."
After Irina says that, she then asks everyone.
"Geez, all of you. Do all of you want to take a look around this room?"
Like this, the sightseeing of the baby-making room commenced.
I understood at that time that even though it was hard to tell, this room comes with a bathroom and a fridge. On top of that the bed can spin. Even the pillows can glow in seven different colours...
Michael-san, you put unnecessary technology in this room...
Part 4
The next day—
After training the whole morning, we spent the afternoon working on the Christmas project.
Me, Asia, Xenovia, Irina, Rossweisse-san, and Irina's dad went to a train station which is two stations away from the one in our town.
We came to check the presents for the project in different places of this town, like the large electronic stores and the bookstores, since they have better selections than the ones in Kuou town.
We checked which ones are popular and also asked the store clerks about the products's specs. All of us decided that we will use this occasion to choose a portion of the presents we have decided to give out for Christmas. I guess receiving a present which is quite new and useful will make the ones receiving it happier. It's a shame that we couldn't research what the residents wanted...
"I'm very sorry for having all of you spend your precious time on this."
Irina's dad apologises to us.
"Oh no, it was actually a good change for once."
"He's right, Irina's dad. Usually our job is to train, so coming this far was a good experience."
Xenovia sure did learn how to speak smoothly all of a sudden! I guess this is something she acquired after aiming to become the student president. ...Oh crap, it feels like Xenovia will become more normal than me! Since she's potentially different from me, she will turn into a talented girl after she learns a bit! It feels like it was so long ago when she was called a muscle-brain swordswoman! No, I do still think that she only relies power during battles!
Irina then says after confirming the memo she wrote.
"Next we will be checking the costumes. Let's head to the store which has cosplay costumes."
Irina leads us after saying that.
A Santa costume huh. Looks like they are keen on it since the majority of them are girls. To be honest I don't think there's a difference in a Santa's costume. But when I said that—
"Looking at the places which sell them will turn to be a good example!"
That's what they said. Hmm, they already had a look at the costume since they received a sample of it already so they can use that as a specimen... Understanding girls' minds is difficult.
As we walk, Rossweisse-san suddenly asks me.
"B-By the way Ise-kun. I-I'm asking this is one of the examples, but...please be aware that this is an example, okay?"
Rossweisse-san asks shyly after saying that.
"From Ise-kun's perspective, for a costume worn by women...should it be those authentic trousers or...a skirt?"
Trousers or skirt, huh. Well, if a woman is to wear them, then—
"I'm all for the skirt! And if it happens to be a miniskirt I might get excited over it! ...So I think a skirt will definitely suit Rossweisse-san for the Santa costume."
When I said that, Rossweisse-san turns red.
"—! G-Geez! Y-You shouldn't say such things to a girl without thinking about it, like that!"
S-She's angry at me! And with her accent that is! But she then coughs and mutters.
"I-I see. A skirt, a skirt. ...Will it make my legs look slim...and I don't think I can make it in time if I prepare for it now...or should I deceive it by using magic? But Granny said I won't be able to deceive a boy's eyes even if I do that—"
...Ever since the battle at Auros Academy, Rossweisse-san also started asking about my preferences. Though she's saying that she's asking for my opinion as an example...
During our way to the shop, though, it started to rain. It turned into heavy rain quickly so we went to a summer house located at the park nearby in order to take shelter.
We didn't bring any umbrellas with us.
"Let's wait until it stops."
Since Rossweisse-san said that all of us agreed to her suggestion.
"If Joker Dulio was with us he could have easily controlled the rain in one go..."
Xenovia said that sarcastically...but we shouldn't recklessly control the weather. It may be possible for Dulio but I don't think he would recklessly do that unless it's an emergency.
While all of us wait at the summer house, we can hear the sound of someone walking through the rain.
When I look forward— I see that a man who isn't using an umbrella is standing under the rain. A man— with long black hair. When we look at what the man is holding onto, our alert level rises to the maximum.
...It's because he's holding onto a sword giving out an ominous feeling.
"Qlippoth...?"
Xenovia says that as she brings out the Ex-Durandal from the different dimension. ...Even if it's raining, this is still a park used by civilians. And it's during daytime. So taking excessive action will result in having unneeded attention onto us! Anyhow we cannot allow to simply be defeated by him, whose murderous intent directed at us is the real deal!
We ready our stances at him but there's one person among us who is really shocked at the appearance of the man.
Irina's dad has his whole body shaking while looking at the man, as if he can't believe his eyes.
"...I-It can't be...! Why are you...!?"
Irina's dad says it with a shaking voice. The man—puts on a creepy big smile.
"...It's been a while. Shidou-san. ...Or should I call you the "Office-Chief" Shidou now?"
The man increases the wave of the sword he's holding onto as he walks towards us! That aura coming from him isn't normal. It has something which won't bring us nothing good if we approach him carelessly!
Irina's dad shouts after he takes a step forward.
"So it is you, Yaegaki-kun...!"
"Yes, I was given this opportunity. I came to deliver judgement to you."
That instant—. The man leaps forward! I followed his movement with my eyes and used my whole body to feel his presence!
The man—shortened the distance between us without making any sound and slashed his sword at us from the side! We reacted immediately. Irina moved Asia and her dad to the rear. Xenovia and I blocked the enemy's attack using our holy-sword and gauntlet respectively. Xenovia and I get our defence increased very high thanks to Rossweisse-san's defence-magic.
We can still feel the extreme destruction of its attack even with our enhanced defence...! Maybe it's because I'm not wearing my armour, but I get pushed back by the impact from his sword! Xenovia withstood the impact on the spot even after receiving it and started to exchange sword blows with the man!
Xenovia attained high speed due to the holy-sword's trait. Slashes which can't be seen with the naked eye are aimed at the man—but the man responds to Xenovia's attack by blocking it and then attacking her back!
—! He can even exchange blows on par with Xenovia! Xenovia, who has the trait of destruction in each of her attacks. But it's as if the man can oversee it. He doesn't get hit by her attacks and easily shortens his distance with her by overcoming it! Xenovia also doesn't receive any critical damage as she evades it by an inch. But different parts of her clothes are torn. Her attacks filled with destruction which are evaded by the man create holes in the ground of this park, blowing the ground away.
"Xenovia!"
Irina shoots arrows of light from the rear but the man takes them down with his sword while he's taking on Xenovia!
I also use Balance Break right away. I try to find a chance to shoot my Dragon-Shot...but it looks like the man is no ordinary assassin. I can't find the slightest opening. Even while he's exchanging blows with Xenovia, he's still paying attention to me and Rossweisse-san so we are in a situation in which we can't break his guard down.
Xenovia shouts.
"This slash! It's something learnt by an Exorcist. ...You must be a warrior from the Church, are you not?"
The man makes a cold smile at Xenovia's question.
"Indeed, though it's more precise to say "former"."
Irina who took her dad to the rear shouts as she makes a stance with a mass-produced holy-sword.
"Hey, you! Why are you after papa!?"
He makes a creepy laughter, "kukuku", when he witnesses Irina's white wings.
"...So your daughter is an Angel, huh? Seriously, this must be mercy given to you from Heaven. Are you telling me this is the reward you received by killing me and her...!"
This man's murderous intent—his hatred increases. ...Killed him and her? What does he mean...?
Irina's dad seems like he understood something hearing that.
"Don't tell me the one who killed Smith and Todoroki...and the other members back then was you...!?"
The man blurts out in laughter.
"...You are the only one left, Office-Chief Shidou."
Even though he's fighting Xenovia, his attention is now aimed towards Irina's dad. I can feel a very strong aura of hatred coming from him. No, what's coming out from him is his anger itself. You can say his whole body is enveloped by it. Just how much hatred does he have towards Irina's father?
I stand between the two and ask the man.
"Hold on! I don't know what's going on but what's your reason for attacking another person all of a sudden!?"
"...Can you step aside? This is revenge. If I kill that man I can finally lower my hatred by even the slightest."
...Revenge? Irina's dad also puts on a sad face and doesn't deny it.
The man moves his eyes at me and puts on a serious face.
"Sekiryuutei, huh. Looks like I have no choice but to release the power of this sword. ...This whole surrounding has been turned into an isolated area after all."
Saying that, the man concentrates on the sword he's holding onto. That instant, the ominous aura coming from the blade increases drastically and distorts the space around him! The rain pouring on the man evaporates before touching him.
From the sword held by the man, an enormous and very black evil thing starts to take physical form. What appears from the sword is –— a large eight headed Dragon! It's shedding tears of blood from its eyes and its large mouth which is wide open is showing its sharp fangs.
...A Dragon grew out from a sword...! A gigantic eight headed giant dragon emerged from that sword! It's over ten metres in length! Each of the heads moves as if each of them has a mind of its own.
Irina's dad becomes speechless.
"——! ...Yaegaki-kun, t-that sword...!"
The man, the swordsman called Yaegaki, strokes the blade which has eight heads growing out from it.
"...Divine Spiritual Sword "Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi". Well, right now it's been altered and looks like this."
— Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi!
I've heard about it! I'm sure it's the Japanese holy-sword. From what I heard the sword was currently broken and it was in the middle of being repaired... But it's the first time I hear that a Dragon is residing in it! Rather, this ominous feeling isn't that of a holy-sword but more of a demonic-sword!
Ddraig who has been quiet till now tells me.
[...Partner, that's an Evil Dragon.]
—Evil Dragon!
I guessed so. That evil aura is so dangerous that I can only think of an Evil Dragon.
[The Evil Dragon resided in that sword. And this poisonous aura...]
Looks like Ddraig is familiar with this aura...
Irina then shouts.
"Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi was supposed to be broken and was in middle of restoration!"
"That's why it was repaired. Though it has changed a lot... The sword which appeared to be possessed by Yamato-no-Orochi.Don't you think this is sarcastic and is wonderful?"
Yaegaki then says it at us.
"My hatred and the evil intent of the legendary Evil Dragon, "Venom Blood Dragon" Yamata-no-Orochi, possessed in this sword— I shall use this to give punishment to all of you!"
Saying that, Yaegaki slashes the sword possessed by the Evil Dragon with all his might!
The eight heads come at us! Maybe it's because each of them has a mind of its own, so each head stretches out from the sword and comes at each of us!
"Ku!"
Rossweisse-san activates the defence magic-circle to block the Evil Dragon's head charging at her but she gets pushed back due of not being able to withstand its power!
The head which is after Xenovia is trying to attack her violently by showing its fangs to bite her to death!
"Ha!"
Xenovia crushes the head with a single slash of her holy-sword by jumping to the rear—but the head regenerates immediately!
"—! The head regenerated!?"
I didn't have time to be shocked as there is another head coming at me at high speed! Ddraig shouts inside me!
[Partner! The poison of Yamata-no-Orochi is dangerous! Do not touch its fangs or poison at all costs!]
Poison—. Samael flashes back in my mind but I doubt the poison it's as powerful as his. But it's still the poison of an Evil Dragon. There's no way I can just simply receive its attack head on!
I gather aura to my right arm and shoot the mass of aura at it immediately!
—A massive Dragon-Shot!
Several heads of Yamata-no-Orochi get blown away when being hit by my attack made up of demonic-power. –But they regenerate as if nothing happened!
There's no end to this! Should I aim for the wielder!? When I look at the enemy I can see the Evil Dragon's head around the man as if it's protecting him. ...So he already predicted we will aim for him huh!
Well, with the endurance of these Dragon's heads, we can easily blow them away! I simply need to blow all of them away in a single shot!
"Fairies!"
I make Dividing Wyvern Fairies appear from each of my jewels. When I give my command to them, the Wyverns fly in random directions in the air and surround the man. The Wyverns will attack the enemy at high speed at times. Well, they usually dodge it though.
But the preparation is set. With this I can reflect and boost my Dragon Shots to defeat the enemies instantly!
"Ise-san!"
Asia shouts out my name. I know why. ...She's telling me to not push myself.
Yeah, I did unlock the Longinus Smasher in my previous fight with Euclid. That effect is still remaining in me. ...Due to that attack being too powerful and dangerous, I used up the majority of my Dragon's power. In other words boosting up my power by using the Wyverns will put too much stress on me. Using boost in Balance Breaker state would be fine for my stamina but using Wyverns on top of boosting would be pretty hard in my current state.
According to Ddraig I would need to wait a month for it to be fully charged. So it means using Wyverns in my perfect condition and also using Longinus Smasher would still take time. One shot per month. Should I say this is an expensive deal or a cheap deal? Well, it will depend on the situation but for my current self it's quite good. I did unlock such a strong attack. But there will be no point if I can't use it when I'm in danger!
I shoot out my Dragon Shot lightly! The bullet of demonic-power gets reflected by one of the Wyverns and changes its course! One of the Evil Dragon's heads let its guard down but another head responds to it and bites it down!
If several heads acts on their own like that, it means they can support each other and replace the fallen heads. And it feels like the Evil Dragon is starting to respond better to our actions! Rossweisse-san's arrows of ice made by her magic are also dodged and Xenovia's strike are evaded! My rapid Dragon Shots also get taken down by its massive flamethrower!
—!
A suspicious scenery appears before my eyes. One of the heads—digs into the ground!
I have a bad feeling so I shout at Asia!
"Asiaaaaaa! Summon Fafniiiiiir!"
Asia tries to draw the Dragon Gate immediately but I can see the Evil Dragon moving through the ground as it pushes the ground up!
"I won't let you!"
Xenovia releases aura from her holy-sword. The holy aura perfectly slices the Evil Dragon that is moving through the ground! —But it's still moving at rapid speed despite being hit!
[Partner! If it has a powerful thought an Evil Dragon taking a physical form can still move even if it gets its head cut off!]
—! Damn it! The direction that head is moving towards! It's heading towards Asia and Irina's dad! Asia's summon won't make it in time!
Xenovia and I assessed the situation right away so we try to head their way. But several Yamata-no-Orochi's heads stretch forward and block our path!
" "You're in the way!" "
We eliminate the heads forcefully. —But the man makes a mad laughter!
"Hahahahahahahaha! My anger and Cleria's revenge! I shall purify it with your soul!"
The Evil Dragon's head which comes out from the ground! Rossweisse-san sends her magic-circle in front of it!
"I won't let you!"
That magic hits right before the Evil Dragon hits Asia and Irina's dad. The Evil Dragon's head crumbles. But one of its fangs flies towards them—which grazes Irina's dad on his shoulder.
"Ku...!"
Irina's dad receives damage on his shoulder. Asia tries to heal the wound immediately—but the man, Yaegaki, becomes so happy that he has tears flowing from his eyes.
"...This is fine. This is how it should be. Yeah, suffer. Suffer so much."
Even the wound should be healed by Asia's Sacred Gear, Irina's dad falls on his knees and his body shakes violently.
—The poison!
"Papa!"
Irina panics at her dad's change but stands front of Yaegaki right away!
"...How dare you attack papa?!"
Seeing Irina shiver in anger the man makes a satisfied expression.
"...That's it. Do you understand? That's anger. The emotion carried by those who had their loved ones hurt. Even if you are an Angel, you can't hold down your rage due to having your family hurt, can you?"
"...!"
Irina can't argue back. The man simply puts on a evil smile.
—! An aura belonging to someone else approaches this place. When I look that way I witness Akeno-san, Kiba, Koneko-chan, and Gasper!
"We came flying here because we received a report about a dangerous aura being detected!"
The ORC is all here. The man falls back seeing that. He jumps to the rear and takes his distance.
"...Staying any longer would have myself exposed."
Saying that, the man shouts towards Irina's dad.
"Office-Chief! I will definitely take my revenge on you, Heaven, and the House of Bael! I will never forgive you all! Absolutely not!"
We try to reach him right away but a teleportation magic-circle appears below his feet instantly.
As he disappears into the light, the man says it at us.
"—The paradise called Kuou town you are living in is the result world of many sacrifices. The Devil who inherited that town and also carries the blood of the House of Bael as well as her servants. Remember that well."
I came to a conclusion after seeing the emblem drawn on the magic-circle. That teleportation magic-circle—belongs to Qlippoth. The man—is an assassin sent by Qlippoth.
