07 - Observing the Human World 2

(3rd POV)

Yukari just smiled hearing Xenovia and Rias's conversation. 'Fufufu… they talk as if they can beat Kokabiel. I wonder where that confidence comes from, is it from the Holy Sword Durandal that Xenovia is holding' Yukari thought

when Yukari was lost in her thought, Xenovia and Rias continued their conversation

"Where are those people from the Orthodox Church sent down?"

Xenovia answered Rias' question.

"They have prepared people to stand guard in this matter. They plan to protect the last Excalibur in case Irina and I fail."

"So it's just the two of you? You guys are going to snatch Excalibur from the hands of the leader of the Fallen Angels just the two of you? That's very reckless. Are you planning to die?"

Rias says it in a disbelieving tone. However, Shidou Irina and Xenovia said it with firm gazes. 'Wow, I don't want to hear that from your Rias' thought Yukari when she recalled in the anime Rias and her peerage faced Kokabiel with no preparation.

"Yes."

"I have the same views as Irina. But if I can, I don't want to die."

"...You guys came here to Japan prepared to die? As usual, the belief in your teachings is extreme."

"Don't speak ill of our beliefs, Rias Gremory. Right, Irina?"

"Right. Also, the Church decided it would be better to eliminate all the Excaliburs instead of allowing them to be used by the Fallen Angels. Our minimum goal is to keep Excalibur away from the Fallen Angels. To achieve that, we don't mind dying. The only way to fight Excalibur is with Excalibur."

'What are these 2 idiots thinking? Are they tired of living, moreover the God they believe in is dead' the determination of this duo confuses Yukari from the church because according to her it is stupid to die for a mission. 'and what do you mean at minimum destroying Excalibur, if Kokabiel wanted he could kill both of you without batting an eye'

"Could it be with just the two of you?"

"For sure, we won't die in vain."

Xenovia said without being scared by Rias' question.

"You look confident. Do you have a secret weapon?"

"Possible. I'll just leave it to your imagination."

"..."

"..."

After that, the two just stared at each other, and the conversation stopped. Shidou Irina and Xenovia exchanged glances and then stood up. 'She thinks that she can beat Kokabiel with Durandal, did he know that there is a huge difference between him and the previous Durandal user Vasco Strada That man is probably the strongest pure human you know' Yukari grinned when she hear Xenovia answer.

"Then we'll excuse ourselves. Let's go, Irina."

"So you didn't drink your tea? I can prepare a snack for you."

"No need."

Xenovia rejected Rias' offer with her hand.

"Sorry, see you later."

Shidou Irina also apologized with her hands. They didn't accept Rias' offer and immediately wanted to leave. Then both of them looked in the same direction. That is Asia.

"When I saw you at Hyoudou Issei's house I thought it might be you. Are you the "Witch" Asia Argento? Never thought I'd meet you in this place."

Xenovia said. Asia's body trembled after she was called "Witch". Those words seemed to hurt Asia. Irina seemed to notice that and also looked at Asia.

"Are you the "Witch" in the rumors? Former Holy Maiden? You said you have the power to heal Devils and Fallen Angels, right? I heard you were sent somewhere after being expelled, but I never thought you would become a devil."

'Finally got to the interesting part' thought Yukari. 'did my personality change when I reincarnated, I do like pranking people, but not to the point of taking life as seriously, and here I'm looking forward to the fight that will ensue. Whether my and Yukari's personalities are mixed because I like to see people suffer and want to do pranks but don't want to be directly involved. fu fu fu...whatever it is I just need to enjoy it

"... um... I... I..."

Asia doesn't know how to react to Irina and Xenovia.

"It is okay. We will not tell our superiors, so don't worry. People who believe in Asia's "Holy Maiden" will get a shock."

"...."

Asia made a frightened expression at Irina's words.

"But to the point of becoming a Devil. One is called the "Holy Maiden". You've fallen to the lowest. Do you still believe in God?"

"Xenovia, there's no way she who has become a devil, still believes in God."

Shidou Irina said it with a look of disbelief.

"No, I can still sniff the "belief" from her. My words may be abstract, but I'm sensitive to that sort of thing. Some people betray the teachings and still feel guilty because they can't forget the teachings. I can feel the same from her."

Xenovia says it with sharp eyes and Irina even looks at Asia with an interesting face.

"Is it true? Asia-san, you still believe in God despite being a devil?"

Asia answered the question with a sad expression.

"...I still can't forget it. I trusted him all my life..."

Hearing that, Xenovia pulled out her sword from the wrapping cloth and pointed it at Asia.

"Is that so? Then I must slash you right now. If now, I can kill you in the name of God. Even if you have sins, our Lord will forgive you."

...Xenovia approaches Asia. Issei stands in front of Asia to protect her.

"Don't touch Her."

Issei looks at Xenovia.

"If you approach Asia, I will not give you any mercy. You already called Asia "Witch" right?"

"Yes, that is so. Right now she is at least very fit to be called a "Witch"."

Yukari just looked at the current drama with an interesting look and thought 'Wow this is more fun than watching the anime'

Issei bit his teeth hard and made a sound with his teeth out of anger at Xenovia.

"Don't be funny! No one helped her when she needed help! Those who can't understand Asia's kindness are a bunch of idiots! It's also very wrong that neither of them wants to be her friend!"

"Do you think the "Holy Maiden" needs a friend? The important thing is to be kind to others. "Holy Maiden" is meaningless if they seek love and friendship from others. She could have continued to live with the love of God. So from the start, Asia Argento didn't have the right to be the "Holy Maiden"."

Xenovia said it as if it was an obvious thing. 'Wow, these people's beliefs have entered the realm of fanaticism, haven't they'

"So you just made her a 'Holy Maiden' and ignored her because she differed from those who were looking for her? That's very wrong.....very, very wrong!"

Issei couldn't hold back his emotions any longer.

"None of you understand his suffering! God what!? What love!? That bastard god did nothing when Asia was in a dangerous situation."

However, Xenovia answered calmly.

"God loves her. If nothing happens, it means she doesn't have enough faith in him, or her beliefs are false."

"Who are you to Asia?"

"Family, Friends, Friends. That's why I'm going to help Asia. I will protect Asia! If you dare touch it, I will make all of you my enemies!"

Xenovia narrowed her eyes at Issei's provocation.

"Wow..what a great word Red Dragon Emperor. These church people are fanatic to their core, it's like brainwashing" they heard the voice of the woman who had been silent and listened to their conversation. Hearing Yukari's words, Xenovia narrowed her eyes and said,

"Youkai be careful what you say, they may forbid us to fight with Devil Faction but not with Youkai Faction"

"Ara~ the one who has to be careful with her words it should be you, look at people when you want to threaten them" Yukari smiled and released her aura and killing intent, This caused everyone in the club room as if they felt a very strong monster look at them.

Yukari who released her aura and killing intent retracted her aura and killing intent when she saw them struggling to breathe even to stand up they could barely even though it was only a small part of her strength. 'Hmm… maybe in this world the only ones who can give me an interesting fight are Ophis, Great Red, and Trihexa' she thought.

"Fufufu...confidence is important but don't let your confidence become arrogance" Yukari smiled at them but they didn't have the strength to respond.

"w..what are you?" Rias who could stabilize herself first asked Yukari.

"Ara ara~ didn't I tell you at the beginning, I'm Gap Youkai Yukari Yakumo" Yukari smiled mysteriously at Rias.

Issei and the others could also calm themselves down but their gazes upon seeing Yukari changed.

"How about you guys fight to determine what will happen to the little girl, and also, the handsome guy over there seems impatient to fight with these 2 people from the church" Yukari suggested.

"What a great time. Let me be your opponent."

Kiba was holding his sword, and a tremendous murderous aura appeared along his body.

"Who are you?"

Kiba frowned at Xenovia's question.

"I am your senpai. Even though I'm just a failure."

In that instant, countless Demonic Swords appeared in the clubroom.
