*****

Someone said, put a warning.

I put warning a long time ago, that the pace will slow and have no action until Chapter 24

Please do read the warning, I don't want to repeat it many times.

MC will move when it chapter 24, but a follow up canon has some change too.

Like, in chapter 21 in the future, MC will make a move.

That's it, don't blame anyone or anything.

I saw Issei, Kiba and Koneko hide in the bush below me and looked over the church. Issei and Kiba were hiding behind the trees while Koneko was crouching behind the bush. Well, honestly I don't know how to call her.

'Should I call her Koneko because she went with that name now or should I call her Shirone like Kuroka? Hmm, I should ask her about that when Kuroka meets with her.'

More importantly, now I need to focus on the fight. Something like this didn't happen all day, especially this is a prelude to the fight with a cadre from Grigori. I munched on my potato chips while looking at them planning on something.

"What should we do? That murderous air is too thick here." Asked Issei while looking at Kiba.

"It seems that there were lots of priests gathered in the church. But Issei, don't you feel a pressure thicker than this a few hours ago?" Kiba said to Issei as he was peeked her head to look at the church.

'Oh? Are they talking about me? I know that I am amazing, but don't praise me that openly!' I nodded my head in satisfaction as I stood up and prepare myself to jump towards the church's roof but stopped after I heard Issei's word.

"A-ah, yeah. Those 3 transfer students, huh? The girl that sat on the guy's left is scary! She chills the air just by sitting there. But they were beauties, huehehehe." When Issei said that, I could see that Koneko's body tensed for a while before she spoke.

'Although you will seal Trihexa in the future with the help of the leaders of 3 factions and other gods, for now, you should die! Don't you dare eyed my girls like that!'

"Pervert. Die." Koneko punched Issei on the stomach and walked towards the church.

Issei slumped on the ground because of the pain from Koneko's punch. He held his stomach with both of his hand as his eyes rolled backward.

I was almost kick Issei on the back of his head but I was able to stop myself when I saw Koneko punch him in my stead.

"They must've noticed our existence here, so it's useless to hide."

As Koneko reached the church's door, Kiba and Issei also walked to her and stopped beside her. For some reason Issei was recovered from the pain, how did he do it? Is it Ddraig job? Surely not.

After they are ready, Koneko kicked the door open. What can I say, why did they just walk towards the entrance of the church if Koneko could always destroy the wall of the church?

Well, it's their decision so as a watcher, I could only make a comment in my mind. After all, this church is far from the civilians and no one realizes what happened because of the barrier that was set around here.

'Now that they entered the church, I need to watch their fight in a VIP seat.' I jumped from the tree and landed behind Koneko. Her skirt was lifted a little bit because of the wind that I create when I landed on my feet, but it seems that she didn't realize that, or rather she ignore it.

Issei's group entered the church as I looked around while following them from behind. The church as the name says was abandoned and the statues were destroyed. Even the cross that was in the middle of the church was half destroyed. The seat appears in a good condition but they were dusty.

"This is hideous." Commented Issei as he looked around the church.

When he was looking around, I found the best spot to watch their fight and that is near the ceiling of a church. I saw there is some space near the ceiling that could be used to sit and watch the entire church's room from that. I jumped and sat in a comfortable position while still holding my bag of chips that only has half of the content left.

As soon as I sat in the space near the ceiling, a clap was sounded and a man with silver hair wearing white priest clothes and dark blue priest robe walked to the front of the church from the side. He smiled as he looked at Issei's group and spoke in a joyful tone.

"Hey hey hey! We meet again!" He stopped right across Issei's group as he raised his left hand. "I never thought I will meet with the same devils two times!" He lowered his hand after he said that and looked at Issei's group with a mocking smile.

"FREED!!" Shouted Issei in an angry tone.

'Oh? So he's Freed Sellzen? That rogue exorcist was also a psychopath, and battle maniac. He will cooperate with Valper Galilei and was given a shard of Excalibur to kill the devils. It's a good chance to see the battle between them and rate their strength. I was only trained with my old man and Magari so I don't really know how strong I am compared to the average of the Supernatural world.'

"You know? I am really strong. When I met with one devil before, they will get this treatment~" Said Freed as he used his left hand to make a slashing motion across his neck, telling Issei's group that he killed every devil that he met before.

"That's why I'm angry that you are still alive and meet me 2 times!" As he said that, he pulled out a light sword with his right hand and a gun from his left hand.

Without saying anything more, he pointed the gun at Issei and fired at him. Fortunately, Kiba was in a ready position and shoved Issei away from the bullet's trajectory.

"Are you okay, Issei?"

"Yeah! You saved me, thanks." They got up on their feet again, but Freed had close his distance and slashed at Kiba from above his head.

With skilled movement, Kiba unsheathed his sword and blocked Freed's slash, and their sword interlocked for a while as they looked at each other with a smile.

Issei used this chance to punch Freed, but he dodged Issei's punch and jumped away from his location.

"Where is Asia!" Shouted Issei at Freed.

"Oh? The sister that fell to the devil's temptation?! She's in the underground with a fallen angel doing a certain ritual~ You can go to the underground from that altar."

'Well, they exchanged a slash and stopped before finishing their fight only to talk again? Idiot.' I thought while I put a potato chip into my mouth. 'Should I just kill the exorcist and walk away from here? It's useless to watch them for now, only Freed was branded as stray here so- oh?' As I thought that, I saw Koneko raise a seat and throw it at Freed, knocking him unprepared.

He was blown away by the force and crashed to the ground, causing the seat to be destroyed and creating a cloud of dust.

"Shut up, you talk too much." She said while raising another seat and throwing it at Freed that was trying to stand up, knocking him once again.

'Good job, Koneko! As expected, a fight shouldn't have a long talk! Let's watch them a little longer. I need to chase after Freed when he fled after all'
