DxD 56 – Reality Check (End)

After the Fujiwara sisters finished calming down and letting go of their inner emotions. Cantina faced the girls and began to talk about a different matter to these girls.

And that is the reality these girls are in.

"Now than we can talk about other matters before I go." Cantina told.

"Other matters…?" Chika asked.

"Well, I am the head of the division that mostly deals with the health and wellbeing of this group. So, as my duty relies in many things, mostly overall situations that regards in wellbeing, stock of medicine that needed to be brought or replace. As well the people under me as Division Head, everything in line of health also rest on my shoulders."

"Of course, I still have time before I leave to do my duties, and since I done checking on your girls health. I might as well, tell you girls about your situation, and why you three not has been let go, and safety sent off to your homes."

Cantina went, before she took a deep breath, and letting the girls to mentally prepared themselves to the truth.

"In normal situations, the people I work for, and belong to, don't normally keep the people we save from kidnapping cases. However, in this case, you girls and the others are different to the normal cases, especially when you are all in danger, danger that no normal police force could handle."

Cantina went, as she noticed Toyomi seems to understand her words, while Chika and Moeha seems to be either little or a lot confuse.

"What you mean by that, Miss Lewy?" Chika asked looking at Contina.

"Please call me Tina dearly, and it is what I said, you three are no longer what I or anyone would call normal humans anymore. Have anyone here ever heard of the Supernatural?" Cantina asked.

"Supernatural…?" Moeha asked unsure, it seems the same with Toyomi, she has a idea what the Supernatural is, but she has no clue what the Supernatural has to do with them.

"Supernatural…? As in supernatural beings and phenomenon that goes against force of nature or reasoning, right? Does that mean things like ghosts, vampires, youkai, and God are all real!?"

On the other hand, while two of the sisters seems unsure or confuse behind Cantina's question.

For someone who always longed to play video games, or look into the supernatural itself, knew very well what the Supernatural means, or least she has a better idea than most.

So, it is no wonder why Chika became overexcited when she heard of this, as her imagination runs wild.

"Fufu, you right, but at the same time wrong." Cantina went amusingly, as she really beginning to enjoy this very eager girl's personality.

"I-I am!?" Chika went shocked, causing Toyomi to sighed due to her usual overacted self is slowly coming back.

"Like you said, Chika, was it? the Supernatural is indeed, is the word used to explain things that both phenomena of supernatural beings and strange events. But in this world, Supernatural also refers to the other side, the phenomena world of supernatural beings, that only recorded throughout human history."

"Beings like Vampires do indeed exist, as for God, counts on which God you meant, after all, they are many Gods that existed in this world, even in Japan, exists the Shinto Gods, as well the Youkai, a type of spiritual being, that very similar to other spirts, that often mistaken as ghosts."

"And it not just Gods that exists, even other Supernatural races, like Angels, Fallen Angels, Devils, Dragons also exist, and this also counts to humans who can weld Magic Power, like me… and High Humans, that you two had become."

When the Fujiwara sisters heard Cantina, they all have different reactions. Moeha the one that properly the only one that doesn't understand a thing.

Chika on the other hand, seems to understand more than anyone else, and felt a fire of desires to know more about the Supernatural burn within her, as one would expect of person like herself.

As for Toyomi, she felt a little afraid hearing the words of High Human again. Even if her understanding is less than Chika's, least she knew what that man and those hooded people were all High Humans.

But when Toyomi heard of the other things this world has to offer in the shadows, it be a lie that Toyomi felt uncomfortable knowing, many in her shoes properly feel a lot safer not knowing such beings that are told in folklore are real.

Just knowing that Angels and Devils, and Dragons actually exists made her feel small. And yet, while she does fear the Supernatural, she also very willing to know more about this side of the world.

After all, in this side of the world, is where he belongs to, the very person that stolen her heart.

That is why, Toyomi, no matter how afraid she is, she is very willing to face the unknown of the supernatural, so she could chase after her first love.

"I wouldn't go too much into detail, but the true reason why you girls are so much in danger, is because as of now, you girls, along with the other 41 children all has forcedly entered the world we referred as to the Supernatural."

"The Supernatural is a very cruel place, a truly world of where the weak gets devoured, while the strong could survive. There are barely any law or order in the Supernatural itself, only laws, is the law who is stronger, whose force is more powerful, while each faction could have law and order within them."

"Like I said before, I won't be going into too much detail, because later today, you girls, along with the others will be attending a special class, that will tell you the overall information about the Supernatural."

"What I can tell you girls, you are safe here. No one, besides few of us, knew of this place. Most of us, even me have to use a special device to teleport us in this place. Not to mention, this place is built with a special metal that makes it nearly impossible for anyone to sense you within these walls."

Cantina went with a smile, and noticed the look on Toyomi's face, the kind of face that someone has made up their mind.

"Class on the Supernatural!?" Chika went with a smile, like a little girl she is, who is willing to explore the unknown, and the novelty involved.

"Class…" Moeha on the other hand, shows a fed up expression. Even if this little girl barely understands most what her sisters and Cantina were talking about, least she knew how important this class would be for her, however, as a child herself, she feel a strong will not to attend, even if it for her own good.

As for Toyomi, the last of the Fujiwara Sisters, she nodded her head, as her expression slowly begin to turned into a sleepy and carefree nature. But inside her mind, she worried about the future, and also wondered if this class they would be attending, would allow her to be closer to Gunnar.

After Cantina told them that, the girls and the young woman begin to talk about things that not related to the Supernatural, making idle chatter among themselves, before it is time for Cantina to leave to refill her duty as the Division Head of the Recovery and Heath Division of the Black Gate Faction.

After getting closer to the Fujiwara sisters, Cantina Lewy hugged these girls before she left the room, but before she actually leaves, she did informed the girls someone else would guide them to the place where the special class would be hold, and to make them understand.

How dangerous is the Supernatural, the world they all had been dragged into, by someone else will no less.

…

..

.

Around the same time, when the Fujiwara sisters woke up, and begin to talk with Cantina Lewy on all sorts of matters.

In a room within the Black Faction Japan's hidden headquarters. Lies the Abyssal King, or Gunnar Klinger, who looked at the piles of paper before him, if they are humankind true enemy.

For someone who love freedom, being carefree, and being an asshole at the same time. The thing known as paperwork, is something Gunnar Klinger loath to the end of the world.

Funny… he became a faction leader for freedom… why is his freedom the price of all this!?

"Ahh… I better get this done with, and ack!" Gunnar went, but sneezed before he could able finish.

"Don't tell me someone is talking about me, how cute~ who could it be?" Gunnar went with a sadist smile, thinking one of his many enemies might be thinking of him.

Of course, Gunnar has no clue, this possible might be a certain pink haired young maiden that has fallen for him.

The very same girl with the pale pink her he took an interest in. This could be out of curiosity that Gunnar took notice of that girl, or maybe out of lust, or it could be something else.

But at this moment, Gunnar doesn't care since he has more important matters, than letting his hormones or his 'little Gunnar' control over him.

And did what he has to do, even if he is very unwilling to do so.

That is why Gunnar in unenthusiastically way, grabbed his pen, and like the madman he is, he begins to do his stacks of paperwork.

It took him an hour to finished several stacks of paperwork. A fleet that even a certain Devil with a maid for a waifu and Queen will envy of.

Gunnar might be very unwilling to do paperwork. By no means he bad at it. He just finds it boring and a waste of time. Even if he could be the envy of all office workers in all dimensions, with his ability of being an office worker.

But for someone who like to do things that interests him, not bored him to death. To him, the Abyssal King, find it nothing but a bane to his freedom! Even if he was the one who did this to himself.

"Now I think of it… I wonder if that Devil with his maid waifu has already heard of Akeno and her mother? I highly doubt, he will do nothing once he heard about me. I bet, he sent his Queen and wife, Grayfia was it? To look for any traces of me, or my little… no it no longer little faction, isn't it?" Gunnar went with a little smirk, imagining the look on that siscon of a Devil's face.

Sirzechs Lucifer – He is the current strongest among the Devils, as well one of the only two Super-Class level Devils in their whole race and history.

Not only he is first Devil to entered the ranks of Super-Class, becoming a Super Devil. He also one of the Four Great Satans, the four rulers of the Devil society.

But he also the older brother of the main heroine of DxD, Rias Gremory.

One could imagine his reaction once he learnt about his involvement with his dear little sister.

Without a doubt, the Devil will be weighing, what will benefit his race as a whole. Or if the Abyssal King is a danger to his little sister.

All he could knew; the Abyssal King might have sinister plans for them.

No doubt, they will be keeping a close eye on Himejima mother and daughter duo, who will be under Rias's care.

Himejima Akeno's existence and potential as the daughter of Baraqiel, Lightning of God, as well the vice-leader of the Fallen Angel Faction, Grigori. Isn't something the Devils could ignore.

Not to mention, they have no clue, why did the Abyssal King of all people, has thrown Akeno along with her mother, at the doorsteps of the Gremory heiress's feet.

Was it a ploy? Or was it just a whim from that monster?

"Either way, it be interesting to watch, that if I have the time. It will be some time, before class to teach these new High Humans, as well Toyomi about the Supernatural. After that, it will be their choices they make, I am curious what they do."

"Stay, and be trained, or leave and become sitting ducks, of course, making children chose in this matter might be morally questionable… but that doesn't mean the Supernatural gives a fuck about your age. Maturer they grown, better they would survive what to come… of course, that not all I am interested or curious about… there also those reports I asked Uncle Jan for… where could they be?"

Gunnar muttered out loud, as he looked around his office, only to noticed them right next to his finished stacks of paperwork. He didn't pay these two folders much attention, due to those stacks of paperwork keeping him busy.

One file is based on his birth father's background. While the other one, is based on the current status of a town called Kuoh, the very same place, where nearly all events of DxD takes place.

It also the place, that Gunnar told his siblings, Zell and Zella Klinger to meet him there, when the canon officially begins. Now Gunnar rethink about it… how foolish he was.

Not only it so unrealistic for a pair of orphans to entered Japan with no backing at their age.

It also very dangerous for both the twins, and Gunnar himself, if those two actually do managed to entered Japan and find Kuoh.

After all, those twins are Gunnar one of few weaknesses. And in the canon, Kuoh is also not just a town, but also the territory that belongs to the Houses of Gremory and Sitri.

Even if both Devil houses are not either the Abyssal King or the Black Gate enemy, that doesn't mean they wouldn't be in the future.

This meant that either or both Zell and Zella could be used against him or his faction, if his relationship with the twins were to be discovered.

'What should I do…?'

Gunnar wounder for a little bit, before turning his attention to the two folders, one about Kuoh, and the other about his own father's family, Gunnar wants to know more about his father, and who he never mentions about his past.

Gunnar looked at the report about his father, with many mixed emotions. As an Abyssal Human, his memories about his father, that silent man is still clear to him.

He still can remember his name, the name Saki, but he never told Gunnar his last name. In fact, when he married his mother, he took on the Klinger surname, almost as if he wanted to get rid of his family name.

So, it is no wonder, the moment when Gunnar looked at the true name of his father, that not just Saki, Gunnar felt heavy emotions flooding within him.

This is something Gunnar truly wanted to know the most in this world, even more than the canon events that would unfold in another six years.

He always wanted to know more about his father of this life, the family he had before he awakened as the being he is today.

However, when begins Gunnar look through the reports, his sea blue eyes, that deep as the sea itself, begins to shaken.

Gunnar even reread the first pages, hoping he is seeing things. After all, who would expect the truth behind his father's background would be the greatest shock in Gunnar's life since he has been reborn in this world.

After all, until this very moment, Gunnar Klinger has no clue, how close he really is, to the main elements of DxD.

"Kanno Saki… he has an older sister known as Kanno Miki… who soon married as Hyoudou Miki… wait Hyoudou?? Why does the name Hyoudou sound so familiar? Hyoudou… no, it can't be!" Gunnar eyes widen in pure shock, and even reread this part of the report, if his eyes not playing tricks on him.

After all, the name Hyoudou is something any fan of DxD would know of, any who read or watch the anime or light novel known as Highschool DxD, would know the meaning of name Hyoudou.

It no wonder why Gunnar became shocked, but still carried on reading this shocking unknown past of his father, who seems to be called Kanno Saki, before he became Saki Klinger.

According to these reports on Kanno Saki, Gunnar's father, and Kanno Miki, Gunnar's aunt.

There is an five year difference between the two of them, Saki being the youngest, and Miki the oldest.

Both of them grown up in the Kanno Clan, and their childhood there, wasn't one call healthy. Their father, Gunnar's grandfather was a heavy drinker, and an abusive father, who often hit his own children before his death.

When he died, Miki had to look after her little brother in as his legal guardian. And around the time he took Saki in, was the time, when Miki met a young man called Hyoudou Gorou.

Both Gorou and Miki fallen in love with each other. It also stated that Saki and Gorou also got along quite well, or least it was told in these reports.

It also mentions that when Gorou and Miki got married, all of the sudden a month later, Kanno Saki disappeared from Japan.

Within the reports mentions of him travelling the world, until the day he meets a woman called Helen Klinger, who lost everything and everyone in a house fire. And Helen Klinger is also the name of Gunnar's mother.

Helen who lost everything, and Saki who loathed his own family name, even if he loves his elder sister. Came closer to each other. Falling in love and settled down in a town somewhere in Germany.

A year later, Gunnar was born. And four years later they died in a car crash of all thing, making Gunnar the only survive of that day.

Hyoudou Miki and Hyoudou Gorou has no clue, that their younger brother, and brother-in-law has passed away at all.

And also in the reports, it also mentions that Hyoudou Miki has been pregnant twice before his cousin, who is a year younger than Gunnar himself, were born.

The first pregnancy was ten years before her third pregnancy, the second pregnancy is eight years before her third pregnancy. And the third time she was pregnant, she has a son called Hyoudou Issei.

The very same Hyoudou Issei who happened to be the future Red Dragon Emperor, as well Gunnar's cousin, and also the true protagonist of DxD.

"I don't know if I should cry or laugh… shit where is Tatsuya when I need him… to think, of all things, I was this related to DxD." Gunnar went, as he took something out from his Devourer's Subspace. It is the only thing that belong to Gunnar that reminded him of his parents.

A locket, with a picture of his mother and father, along with himself in there. It is something that Gunnar held dear. He rarely took it out, even if he was reborn, his love for his parents, who are now died, even his past life one, still dwelled deep inside his soul.

Gunnar glance at the picture, and at the report, with the pictures of Hyoudou trio. Hyoudou Gorou, Hyoudou Miki, and Hyoudou Issei.

'I should inform my aunt about my father… I know she wouldn't know about his death, since she didn't know he was planning to leave Japan, he only remained in Japan until she found happiness. I wonder what would be father's thoughts will be, if he knew his sister miscarriage twice, or does Issei even know that… doubt it, all on that kid's mind is whose boobs are bigger, or softer.'

Gunnar thought with a sigh. As he planned to visit the Hyoudou family one day.

That is the least he could do for his dead father, to tell them the news of his passing, and his happiness he had before he died. Hyoudou Miki, and Hyoudou Gorou will find it unbelievable at first, but they strong and good people.

If they weren't, they will kick Hyoudou Issei to the streets for his perverted ways, long before the canon begins.

"Let's think about this later… for now. I have other things to worried about…" Gunnar went, as he left the report on Kuoh on the desk for later, as he thought about his battle with Zlatko Dubus, and his wounded soul by Cota Dubus.

'Cota Dubus… and Zlatko Dubus. The incest fucker, and his victim. They nothing but a group of zealous rapists, who believed in their supremacy… however, they are a threat. Those eyes, that can damage me, if Zlatko Dubus knew about that, he will use his eyes on me as well. Lucky enough, Cota was unable to inform him of that.'

'Not to mention, there no way in hell, she will help that asshole. She wanted him dead the most. However… I cannot forgive her, she ordered someone to rape someone… even if it was meant to save her from the fate of being gang raped or fucked by those elders… doesn't change the fact, she ordered it.'

Gunnar has no intentions of letting either Zlatko Dubus or Cota go. He was willing to spare the life of Cota Dubus, if she willing to be punished, and healed mentally. But Zlatko Dubus… people like him, he cannot forgive.

People like him, he could never forgive. Gunnar cannot help to think what happened two years ago, the day when he became infamous as the Devourer, some time before he started the Black Gate Faction.

The day he betrayed his clients, and his co-workers, only to devour not only them, but everyone in that town.

The day of the Devourer became known to the Supernatural.

And the day of Gunnar Klinger's sin.

As well, when Gunnar's innocence was broken.
