*****

We went to the meeting room, guided by Vasco.

It seemed like Michael visited Earth because he wanted to meet me. I bet it was my Telos Karma that was acting for my sake again.

On our way to the meeting room, Michael was talking about hearing about me from Gabriel.

He said that he wanted to know what kind of person I was, but after I surprised him earlier, he just laughed a little and told me that I was what he expected me to be.

Not only that, he had met my old man in a great war too. I wasn't surprised again by that, as I now knew that my old man loved intruding to the Great War and visited a lot of leaders from each faction.

After we arrived at the meeting room, Vasco was about to leave us alone.

I stopped him because I still had something with him.

Because it was my request, Michael also stopped Vasco and told him to sit beside him.

Now we were sitting while looking at each other in the Church meeting room that I visited the last time I was here.

"So, Nura Riku. I think I know what you wanted to ask, but please ask me yourself."

Maybe as expected from the leader of Seraph, Michael.

He was so sharp. But, well, anyone who knew me would be able to guess my goal of visiting the Vatican.

Even Tobio didn't say anything to me as if he knew my objective.

I put my hands on top of the table and smiled.

"Maybe my question was something that you guessed. I wanted to ask, does True Longinus has a new wielder yet?"

"As I thought, you were asking that."

Michael put his hand inside his robe and pulled out a white envelope.

He put the envelope on the table and then handed it to me.

"Unfortunately, I can't say it to you. However, maybe, just maybe that there will be an envelope that will tell you the new wielder of the True Longinus in front of your mansion. Of course, I don't know anything about that, as the leader of the Heaven, I must follow some rules."

Michael closed his eyes as he said that.

He couldn't tell me, so he put the answer in the envelope, huh.

We had an alliance, and there was one person who would know it from Michael and wasn't restricted by Heaven's rule as much as Michael.

The image of a clueless girl flashed in my mind and I closed my right eye and smiled.

'It seems I need to thank Gabriel for this.'

"Is that so, it's unfortunate but I will only accept this envelope."

I took the envelope and then put it in the pocket of my pants.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't help much. However, Nura Riku, there is something that I am thankful for and something that I must request of you."

Michael's tone turned serious.

For the leader of Heaven to turn serious, meant that something serious had happened.

"Let's hear it."

I looked at Michael seriously. He nodded his head a little before saying.

"Sirzechs Lucifer tried to contact me this morning. He said that he wanted to propose peace between the three factions. There will be a meeting in a week, may I request your presence to mediate the meeting? It will be held in Rome. To be precise, the Rome Colosseum."

So it was a meeting for the peace conference. But, to think that Sirzechs was suggesting the meeting to be held in the Rome Colosseum.

That was a bit unexpected. Although I said that Japan was out of the question, they could pick England or somewhere else to hold the meeting.

When I thought about it again, Sirzechs wasn't that idiot to suggest the meeting in Rome without any reason.

Maybe he wanted to appeal to Angel's Faction that he really wanted peace. That was why he didn't mind if the meeting was held in Rome, a country near the headquarter of the church.

"Peace conference between three factions, huh. I will attend it, as an observer."

I answered with a positive response, and it seems that Michael was satisfied with my answer.

He nodded his head a few times before standing up.

"Thank you, I will be counting on you to observe it. If something happens in the meeting, please feel free to run first. You are an innocent man. To tell you the truth, I don't want to involve you in this meeting, but you are the most trustworthy man who held the neutral stance in the Supernatural world."

Hearing Michael's word, I laughed out loud.

Me? I was the most trustworthy man in this supernatural world that held the neutral stance?

"Hahahaha, your joke is too funny!"

I couldn't stop laughing. Michael looked at me with a confused expression, and I closed my right eye as I looked at him.

"Michael, as a leader, you are not too good at judging people."

If he called me the most trustworthy man, then everyone in this world was trustworthy.

"No, I believe in my eyes." Answered Michael shortly.

Nah, you couldn't trust youkai, Michael.

I moved for my own gain, to think he called me the most trustworthy man.

What a joke.

"Well, then just believe your judgment. For I don't even see myself as a trustworthy man."

I stood up and extended my right hand with a grin on my face.

Michael smiled softly, took my hand, and shook it.

"That's why I can trust you."

Angel was so strange. I couldn't understand their train of thought.

We shook hands for a while and I released it first.

"Well, Nura Riku. Heaven is busy, so I need to excuse myself now."

As Michael said that, Vasco stood up from his seat and said.

"Let me guide you out, Michael-sama."

He gestured with his right hand, but then Michael stopped him.

"No, Nura Riku said that he had something to talk about with you. So please accompany him, Vasco."

"Yes, certainly."

Michael walked to the exit. Vasco's gaze was still glued to Michael until he left the room.

As soon as Michael left the room, Vasco sat on the chair again and looked at me.

"So, what do you want to ask me?"

I sat down on the chair too and crossed my legs.

"I wanted to spar with you a little. With sword, of course."

This guy was the former wielder of Durandal. He was skilled with greatswords like Durandal or the western sword.

My swordsmanship was focused on Katana, and I didn't understand swordsmanship that uses the western double-edged sword.

While I could defeat them in a fight, I couldn't use the double-edged sword myself.

More accurately, my move was a bit awkward when I used a double-edged sword.

That was why, in order for me to use Gram, I was thinking to learn about it from Vasco first.

"I don't mind, but why?" Vasco answered me and then asked me with a curious tone.

"Because I wanted to steal your technique by sparing with you."

It was the best choice to not beat around the bush. That way, he would show me all that he got.

Vasco seemed to be interested as he had a feral grin on his face.

"Oh, why not? Follow me, let's do it right now."

Vasco stood up and then walked out of the room. I followed him and we were walking side by side.

'I can't wait to see his skill, the one who is called the strongest human.'
