The lion king against the tempest

third person pov 

Daniele now finds himself in unknown territory 

 

 

 

"This is wherever, Regulus, are you there? "

 

 

 

He kept looking left and right but couldn't see anyone. 

 

 

"Dany/Dany"

 

 

Hearing the familiar voice, Daniele looked back and saw two familiar faces. 

 

 

 

"Xenovia, Irina"

 

 

As soon as he called out to the two of them, the scene suddenly changed and now he returned to the warehouse from before. 

 

 

They were both lying on the ground 

 

 

Their clothes were in tatters, they were staring into space with lightless eyes. 

 

 

 

 

Then he looked back and saw the vampire from before 

 

 

"hahahaha, you're too late, you know they kept chanting your name .'Dany, Dany please save us, I don't want this !stop~~~~!!!'Pfff hahahahaah"

 

 

 

Daniele squatted down with his head in his hands. 

 

 

dany 

 

 

This couldn't be real no Daniele couldn't accept it 

 

 

Dany

 

 

Tears began to flow from Daniele's eyes as the vampire laughed. 

 

 

 

At that moment, Daniele saw two things holding his legs, xenovia, and Irina holding his legs and looking at Daniele with their lightless eyes. 

 

 

 

"Why didn't you come on time? " "Why did you give it to us to suffer? 

 

 

 

"no no no no no no, this can't be happening NO !!!"

 

 

While Daniele was shaking, tears were flowing from his eyes. 

 

DANIELE!!!!!

 

 

 

At that moment, the dark area disappeared and Daniele jumped up from a soft bed at the speed of light. 

 

 

 

There were tears in the corners of his eyes as he was shaking. 

 

 

 

When he finally looked around he saw Irina and Xenovia standing upright on the bed next to him in their pajamas. 

 

 

Both of them were holding one of Daniele's arms and looking at his with concern. 

 

 

"Dany, are you okay? You were talking in sleeping." Irina asked 

 

 

 

"at the same time, you began to shake and cry slightly while sleeping" Xenovia continues where Irina left off 

 

 

They both had concern on their faces as they looked at Daniele. 

 

 

 

When Daniele finally grasped the situation, he wrapped both arms around the girl standing on either side of him and pulled him in for a tight hug. 

 

 

 

Even though the two girls were stunned, they finally gave in to the familiar warmth and closed their eyes. 

 

 

 

While they were immersed in their own world, the sudden opening of the door interrupted this event. 

 

 

 

Dulio suddenly opened the door and appeared, saw the three of them and then suddenly jumped on them and hugged the three of them.

 

 

 

"I'm so glad you're okay." 

 

 

Although the physical strength of all three children surpasses their peers, they are inferior to Dulio.

 

 

"You are suffocating us!!!"

 

 

 

When Irina finally managed to make herself heard, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief. 

 

 

 

"Let me inform the others"

 

 

Dulio dropped these words before leaving for a moment, leaving the three children standing there stunned. 

 

 

They looked at each other.....

 

 

"Pffftt, hahaha what was that" 

 

 

 

Daniele was the first to lose it and the others started laughing too 

 

 

 

The strange atmosphere between the three of them disappeared and they felt relaxed.

 

-------------------------------------

 

"What?!?? Three days? "

 

 

Later Daniele found out that he had been sleeping for 3 days 

 

 

[Don't be so surprised, after all, the stress on you had accumulated, with the addition of the balance breaker, it's not that strange]

 

 

<But still>

 

 

[As I said, this is normal and even beneficial to you in general, you should feel a little more relaxed mentally]

 

 

 

<if you say so>

 

 

Later, the people Dulio informed came to visit Daniele one by one. 

 

 

Vasco side 

"I'm really glad you're okay, young Daniele. You're really attracting trouble, aren't you?"

 

 

"Hahaha" Daniele could only scratch the back of the head

 

 

"Well, getting there on time this time saved a lot of situations." 

 

 

Vasco's eyes suddenly became serious and Daniele shuddered unconsciously.

 

 

"I wonder if I should go to Romania for a holiday for a while, I can take Ewald with me, after all, it will be good for us old people's bones."

 

 

'Then why does your face expression say something different?'

 

Daniele wanted to say this, but in the end he swallowed his words and gave a twitching smile 

 

 

Griselda side

Daniele looked at Griselda entering the door. 

 

 

"Hello, sister Grise—"

 

 

Daniele's words were suddenly interrupted by Griselda, who came to his and hugged his tightly, burying Daniele face in her chest. 

 

 

Griselda spoke as Daniele was stunned. 

 

 

"Thank you, really really, thank you for getting there on time, thank God "

 

 

Her voice and her arms around his were shaking as she spoke. 

 

 

Daniele closed his eyes and hugged her back .Even if he was in the situation that every man wants, Griselda was like the strict older sister to him and he was not a jerk to enjoy the body of a suffering woman. 

 

 

After hugging for a while, Griselda pulled back and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. 

 

 

"I am pleased that you are well " 

 

 

"Thanks"

 

 

Dulio and Kiyotora Side 

Dulio and Kiyotora entered the room and had large boxes in their hands. 

 

 

"Hmm, what are they?" 

 

 

"Confectionery and desserts" 

 

 

Daniele couldn't help but show a suspicious expression. Was Dulio trying to put him in a diabetic coma? 

 

 

"*sigh* Forget about this idiot, here's some manga, don't be bored" 

 

 

"Oh, thanks, I was really getting bored" 

 

 

Throughout the day, Daniele continued to be visited, some hugging him, some giving him things to pass the time, some praising him. 

 

 

After a while, it was finally time to stand up. 

 

 

 

Daniele pov 

I'm at the training ground right now, surrounded by Dulio, Vasco, Griselda, Irina and xenovia. 

 

 

I had Regulus Nemea in my hand 

 

 

After taking a deep breath I started 

 

 

<<My other self,You, king of the lions, answer my desire and become one with me>>

 

 

Following the chant created a golden light around me, When the light disappeared, I was wearing knee-high golden boots, arm armor, and Regulus had transformed into a decorated two-handed axe. 

 

"Balance Breaker]

 

Regulus Armorum Rex

 

 

I shook my empty left gloved hand, it was a really strange feeling, I felt strong, very strong. 

 

 

"This appearance does not comply with the informations in the church" 

 

 

Griselda commented while examining 

 

 

[Well, it's a sub-species ]

 

 

When everyone turned to the ax in my hand, Regulus continued speaking while the amethyst parts of the ax glowed. 

 

 

[Each Sacred Gear has a specific form of Balance Breaker.But sometimes the Balance Breakers are influenced by the desire and personality of the Sacred Gear's user and form forms different from their original form. This form may also have different abilities that are not available in the original. That's why it is stronger than the original balance breaker]

 

 

"So isn't Dany stronger than your previous users?" 

 

 

Regulus chuckled at Irina's cheerful question.

 

 

[Although it is still far from there, I believe the partner will reach that level.Apart from these, the current power can remain active for a maximum of 4 minutes.]

 

 

"Why so short "

 

 

[Actually it's not short, partner, have you forgotten the incident with Vali? Even though he had already reached the balance breaker, he could only last 10 seconds at most. Because his body could not withstand the power of Longinus, the situation is the same with you, unlike him, being human is even more disadvantageous. ]

 

 

"Then why does it take me longer than him? "

 

 

[The fact that you are the balance Breaker sub-species an advantage here. If we compare the two of you, you are wearing a clothes that fits you well while he is trying on a clothes that is too big for him.]

 

 

"I understand "

 

 

"Then let's test your current strength, Dany, after all, we're short on time." 

 

 

Dulio came forward by saying this 

 

 

I blinked my eyes. Then a smile appeared on my face 

 

 

"Then you can start goodbye kissing your 'the strongest exorcist'

 title.''

 

third person pov 

Since they were the only two on the field,Daniele rushed forward without waiting. 

 

 

He disappeared from his place as golden aura exploded beneath his feet 

 

 

When he suddenly appeared in front of Dulio, Dulio had already created a wind barrier.

 

 

Without retreating, Daniele hit the wind barrier with his axe. Dulio was surprised when the ax cut through the barrier without any resistance, like cutting paper, but his reaction was quick. 

 

 

He used the shattering wind to push himself back 

 

 

Lastly, Dulio created A lot ice spears behind him and threw them at Daniele. 

 

 

Daniele looked at the spears and took a stance 

 

 

"Haaaaa"

 

 

He held the upper part of the big ax handle with his right hand and the lower part with his left hand and shook it.

 

 

The golden aura shattered the ice spears thrown at him, unfortunately his opponent was far from an ordinary ice user. 

 

 

Dulio gently extended his hand 

 

 

The shattered ice spears came together and formed ice shards .İts surrounded Daniele

 

 

Then he clenched his hand into a fist and all the ice shards hit Daniele from all angles. 

 

 

Due to the impact, fog formed around Daniele. 

 

 

When the fog disappeared, Daniele stood there calmly with a golden aura around his.

 

 

Daniele reached out and used one of his classic spells. 

 

 

†Gather, 17 spirits of ice, cut apart my enemy. Magic Arrows, Series of 17 Ice Arrows.†

 

For Daniele, this spell and its variants are one of his favorites because it activates extremely quickly, with an activation time of 0.7 seconds. 

 

 

Dulio has trained with Daniele many times, so he naturally has knowledge of this spell. 

 

 

Fireballs formed around him and collided with Daniele's 17 ice arrows 

 

 

Normally they should have canceled each other out, but this time the ice arrows pierced the fireballs, surprising Dulio. 

 

 

As the arrows approached Dulio, he saw a faint golden sheen on them. 

 

 

Just as it was about to hit Dulio, an extremely powerful lightning suddenly exploded around Dulio and shattered the ice arrows surrounded by golden light. 

 

 

But at that moment Daniele appeared in front of Dulio 

 

 

He swung the ax he held crosswise with both hands with all his strength and continued to advance directly towards Dulio, completely shattering the Lightning surrounding Dulio. 

 

 

 

At that moment Dulio saw Daniele's eyes 

 

 

He definitely intended to reach and surpass his, but 

 

 

That's exactly why Dulio couldn't lose!

 

 

Just as the ax was about to hit Dulio, a sudden gust of wind formed around Daniele's body and threw him into the air. 

 

 

Daniele tried to react, but the wind that appeared around him before appeared much stronger this time, and at that moment, the strong wind around him suddenly turned into a tornado and hit the ground hard. When the tornado hit the ground, huge cracks appeared that spread throughout the training field 

 

 

 

At that moment, a golden cut appeared in the tornado and dispersed in an instant. , Daniele was on one knee with only minor injuries., which surprised Dulio. The tornado hit just now was strong enough to leave at least a high-class devil completely unconscious with many broken bones 

 

 

When Daniele tried to stand up, the armor on his body and Regulus Nemea suddenly started emitting golden particles and they instantly disappeared. 

 

 

 

When they disappeared, Daniele fell completely to his knees, seriously unable to get up. 

 

 

"Dany/Dany!!!" 

 

 

Irina and Xenovia immediately went to Daniele and helped him to his feet. 

 

 

"Well it looks like I won....Again" 

 

 

Daniele growled in annoyance but answered 

 

 

"Still, I wouldn't call it a complete defeat" 

 

 

When he said looking at a specific place, Dulio was surprised and looked where Daniele was looking. 

 

 

There was a wound on his shoulder and he was bleeding, he probably didn't notice because he was too busy fighting but now that he noticed..... It hurts!!!

 

 

"Well, it was a good fight, but Daniele, did you inject golden aura into those İce Arrows?" 

 

 

Vasco asked. 

 

 

"Well, apparently I can inject Regulus' aura into things or use it with something in my balance breaker. "

 

 

"Hmm, This is a really useful skill for you, at least considering your versatile nature, it should increase the strength of your skill set several times over." 

 

 

"Yes, but I still have to work" 

 

 

He thanked Irina and Xenovia for helping and stood alone 

 

 

But for some reason xenovia and Irina seemed to have something on they mind 

 

 

'I need to get stronger' While this was on both of their minds, Dulio smiled, but suddenly a hand holding the place of his wound tightly made him scream from the angle. 

 

 

"IT HURTS. What's going on, Griselda?" 

 

 

When Dulio turned to Griselda, he stiffened because she making one of those shadowy smiles. 

 

 

"The training ground is deducted from yoursalary" 

 

 

She smiled and pulled his to the infirmary. 

 

 

"Let's treat your wounds for now" 

 

-------------------------------------

 

While Dulio and Griselda were in the infirmary, a nun was using a healing spell on his wound. Since Dulio's upper body was naked, the healing nun turned red. 

 

 

"Why did you go so far?" 

 

 

Griselda finally got curious and asked, it was really weird how serious Dulio was getting. 

 

 

Dulio was surprised for a moment but smiled. 

 

 

 

"I can't let Dany get surpass me, at least not yet."

 

 

"Why" 

 

 

"He sees me as a rival, or at least a target he wants to surpass, so I have to stay that way so he can keep trying to surpass me and surpass himself."

 

 

He then showed a childish smile 

 

 

"Also, I have pride as the big brother."

 

 

Griselda sighed, but a smile appeared on her face. 

 

 

"Seriously, why are all the children around me so problematic?"

 

 

"Hey that's rude" 

 

--------------------------------------------

 

After this incident, Daniele continued to train for both physical strength training and to mastered the balance breaker, but he wasn't the only one training. Dulio served mostly as an opponent in his training 

 

 

Xenovia asked for special guidance from Vasco to better use Durandal, which was seriously heavy training.

 

 

Irina asked the same thing from Griselda, who best suits her fighting style. 

 

 

But unfortunately at that moment it became clear that God did not create everyone equal. 

 

 

 

five months later 

training field 

 

 

Irina was kneeling on the floor, panting, and Xenovia was also breathing lightly. 

 

 

The difference between Xenovia and Irina had grown a lot in five months, Irina noticed it the most 

 

 

They were equal in the beginning, Xenovia was stronger and more durable, Irina was faster and more agile. 

 

 

But now xenovia was not only able to catch up with Irina but also easily deflected her moves. 

 

 

"Well it's like my victory" 

 

 

Xenovia extended her hand to Irina to get up. 

 

 

"Nice fight, Irina" 

 

 

When she looked at Xenovia's smiling face, she immediately dismissed the thoughts in her mind, she couldn't blame her, how could she, why should her own incompetence be the fault of others?

 

 

"Thanks xenovia" 

 

 

After saying this, she smiled and left the training field and headed for the shower

 

--------------------------------------------

 

 

Daniele pov 

 

"Seriously, a post-train shower feels good." 

 

 

I was just returning from training, I was wearing a black towel on my shoulder, shorts and a tank top. 

 

Normally, of course, I can't wander around the church like this, but luckily the place we are in is an area specially reserved for us for education, so meh 

 

 

 

[Well, even if the training is harsh, you can't deny the benefits]

 

 

"You're right,But seriously, why are there so many problems around me? 

 

 

Flashback 

 

 

When I opened the door to enter the bathroom, he was greeted by a Xenovia figure preparing to use scissors to cut her long hair. 

 

 

I unconsciously reached out and grabbed the case, but unfortunately the scissors cut into my hand.I looked at Xenovia, who was surprised by my sudden appearance, ignoring the slight blood flowing from my hand. 

 

 

"What are you doing?!" 

 

 

"I was going to cut my hair" 

 

 

She said in a very calm voice 

 

 

"I'm already aware of this, the real question is why"

 

 

At that moment, her calm look was replaced by a sad and slightly guilty expression. What is really going on? 

 

 

"My hair got in my way while on duty. If that vampire hadn't used it, this wouldn't have happened.Both Irina's humiliation and everything that happened happened because of my hair " 

 

 

I looked at the girl in front of her..... She seriously 

 

 

"Are you stupid?" 

 

 

"????" 

 

 

I ignored Xenovia's confused face and continued.

 

 

"It has nothing to do with your hair, you just let guard down and the opponent used it to your advantage, nothing else." 

 

 

"A-but Irina's humiliation"

 

 

"Irina is not such a weak girl that she would get depressed because of something like this, even now she is training to get stronger, just like you do.If you don't want it to happen again, just get stronger and never let your guard down again." 

 

 

"But " Xenovia just bowed her head and I let out a sigh. 

 

 

"Look, do you hate your long hair? "

 

 

She shook her head negatively. 

 

 

" No problem then " 

 

 

I applied some healing magic to my hand and the bleeding stopped immediately because the wound was very shallow. 

 

 

I then pulled Xenovia out of the bathroom and we moved into the nearby living room. 

 

 

"Sit on the couch and turn your back to me" 

 

 

Even though Xenovia was surprised at first, she did exactly what I said. 

 

 

I sat behind Xenovia and opened my space storage and pulled out a comb. 

 

 

Then I slowly started combing her hair with the comb in my hand. 

 

 

She stiffened for a moment at first, but eventually relaxed. 

 

 

"Look, if you don't like your hair, I don't mind cutting it, but you don't have to give up something you don't hate just because of enemy.Live the way you want and have everything you want to your heart's content. I will support you as much as I can and scold you when you make mistakes." 

 

 

"Will you be with me while I do this?" 

 

 

She's words made me smile 

 

 

"Always " 

 

 

When she answered, I continued to gently comb her hair,

 

 

Later, when I tied her hair into a ponytail, I was about to get up, but Xenovia suddenly leaned back and stopped me from getting up. 

 

 

"Xenovia" 

 

 

"Let's stay like this for a while" 

 

 

With a helpless smile, I complied with her request, hugged her soft body leaning back against me, and we stayed like that for a while. 

 

 

flashback end 

 

;"Seriously, I hope she doesn't do anything else stupid." 

 

 

While I was still talking to Regulus, I was passing by the prayer room, but of course I looked because the door was ajar. 

 

 

Is that ..Irina? 

 

 

"God please....I don't want them to leave me behind"

 

 

 

???????????????????????????

 

 

What did she just say? 

 

 

Irina pov 

The vampire mission was my mistake, if I wasn't so weak there would be no need for xenovia to jump in front of me, so I increased the training even more.

 

 

But instead of closing, the gap between us widened even further. 

 

 

Both Xenovia and Daniele have become stronger....will they leave me behind? 

 

 

This thought makes me feel pain in my heart 

 

 

"Please God...I don't want to be left behind"

 

 

"I want to be able to protect them and fight alongside them, not always be the one to be protected or the one who's in the way." 

 

 

"I don't want to be abandoned" 

 

 

What she didn't know was that Daniele was outside the room, leaning against the door and listening to her. 

 

------------------------------------------

 

Daniele pov 

[You may want to hurry on this, partner, otherwise, she could seriously damage her self-confidence]

 

 

<I know partner, I know.Let me think about it>

 

 

I took out the phone that Azazel gave me in my space storage and looked at it. Actually, the reason I used it was to ask for Artificial Sacred Gear

 

 

Or asking Azazel for help in an emergency. 

 

 

But right now I don't even think Azazel has completed the Artificial Sacred Gears 

 

 

What should I do 

 

 

Compared to Xenovia, Irina's potential is seriously limited. First of all, Irina is not a natural holy sword user like me. 

 

 

But unlike him, I have a Longinus and magic training. 

 

 

Even if I tried to teach Irina magic, Unfortunately, although it's not too bad, it's not good either. 

 

 

At that moment a lightning flashed in my head.

 

 

 

I immediately picked up the phone and dialed the number. 

 

 

"Wow, I thought you forgot about me, exorcist boy .So what's up "

 

 

"Hello Azazel, I want to use one of the two requests" 

 

 

"Ho~~~~, Okay I'm listening" 

 

 

"First of all, isn't the archbishop in holy sword project currently under your command? "

 

 

"Yep, but just so you know, if you want to kill him, it would seriously be a bit annoying, even for me. After all, his research is seriously impressive." 

 

 

"No, what I want is ....."

 

 

"Wait seriously, is that all, and why do you want such a thing? "

 

 

"Is there a problem" 

 

 

"So, you know, I was expecting more requests...difficult? "

 

 

 

"This is what I want, please send it as soon as possible" 

 

 

"Yes yes, you will have it as soon as possible" 

 

 

[What was it you wanted, partner]

 

 

"Well we'll see, but I need help to your verify partner"

 

 

A few hours later my phone rang and I took it out and looked at it. 

 

 

When I opened the flip phone, a magic circle appeared on the screen and glowed, revealing the familiar jewel. 

 

 

I caught the jewel immediately 

 

 

"Even without understanding why you want it" 

 

 

"Don't worry, by the way, please send a message to Vali for me."

 

 

"Hmm, what is it? "

 

 

"You and I are on the same stage right now"

 

 

"Anyway, see you later" I ended the call

Azazel pov 

So it's already arrived, huh. Heh, things are getting really interesting

 

 

When the door opened, my darling stepson walked in. 

 

 

He had just gotten out of the shower after training

 

 

"Oi, Vali ,exorcist boy called ,he has a message for you" 

 

 

"What message?" His slightly tired expression instantly disappeared and he looked at me intently. 

 

 

He seriously sees that kid as his rival, doesn't he? 

 

 

"'I'm on the same stage with you' is what he said to me" 

 

 

Vali blinked his eyes, once or twice.When his expression finally turned into an overexcited grin, he immediately turned around and started running. 

 

 

"Where are you going!!!" 

 

 

Afterwards, all I heard was "Training!!!!" happened

 

 

The two will definitely become best friends 

 

-------------------------------------------

Daniele pov 

"What are you saying, Regulus?"

 

 

At my words, Regulus apparated next to me and examined the jewel carefully. 

 

 

[Yes it's definitely in there, it's like we won the gamble ]

 

 

"yes it looks like that" 

 

 

third person pov 

Someone entered Irina's room while she was sleeping at night, but the strange thing was that there was no sound. 

 

 

The person who came had has dark brown hair tied in a short ponytail.

 

 

He left a jewel and a note on the table next to the bed where Irina was sleeping and left the room in the same silence. 

 

 

Not noticed by anyone...or was it? 

 

 

Morning 

 

Irina pov 

 

When I opened my eyes slowly got up, getting ready to get out of bed, I saw a jewel and a note on the table next to my bed. 

 

 

The gem was the same as the one given to them in the holy sword user test, but note

 

 

We heard your prayers 

 

 

These were the words written in gold on a white card. For some reason, the text gave off a comforting feeling. 

 

 

When I read this , suddenly felt my heart skip a beat. 

 

 

But what good will this do to me? 

 

 

But I decided to use it anyway. When I brought the jewel closer to my chest, it disappeared with a bright light. 

 

 

Even though I didn't understand much ,I changed out of my pajamas and put on tight exorcist clothes. 

 

 

I was going to have a training match with xenovia early today, I had to train the rest of the day, otherwise I don't even know if I can keep up with them. 

training ground 

 

 

Xenovia in front of me also took a stance with me. 

 

 

This time we were using a training light sword instead of wooden swords. Even though it doesn't cut the body, it doesn't go beyond hurting. 

 

 

Sister Griselda is here to supervise the match, also a few of our acquaintances and ....my father is here!!!

 

 

why here ????

 

 

And of course Daniele was looking at us calmly with his arms folded in the corner of the field 

 

 

Anyway, I don't have time to think about this. 

 

 

When I gave my full attention to Xenovia in front of me,Sister Griselda gave the signal. 

 

 

'Start'

 

 

I immediately rushed forward, even though I made a light attack with my sword, it was easily blocked by Xenovia. 

 

 

Xenovia then came at me and pushed me hard with her sword 

 

 

I have no chance physically 

 

 

So I decided to go with my usual hit and run tactic. 

 

 

Even though I made light attacks by turning around, Xenovia countered them all in time. When she faced the last attack, she immediately went on a counter attack and swung her sword hard towards me.

 

 

I fell back with her blow,Isn't it still enough? 

 

 

Will I stay behind? 

 

 

At that moment I saw Daniele, who was watching the fight with a calm look. 

 

 

No, no no no 

 

 

I can't, I want to get stronger 

 

 

Again..... I don't want to see Dany with such a weak expression again, I don't want xenovia to suffer because of me again. 

 

 

I want to move forward side by side with them!!!!

 

 

As I made the final attack, the training sword in my hand started to glow with light, and both me and Xenovia were stunned when it shattered Xenovia's training sword. 

 

 

When the light disappeared there was a sword with an ornamental purple handle 

 

 

But not only that, a strange magic circle suddenly appeared under me and several sword blades flew out from the ground. 

 

 

"This---" I can only say inconvenience 

 

 

Xenovia snapped out of her daze and began poking at the blades protruding from the ground. 

 

 

Don't poke them!!!!!!

 

 

Nearby, my father, Dany, and Sister Griselda immediately approached me.

 

 

"Sacred Gear, but we already checked" 

 

 

Griselda was examining the sword in my hand when my father hummed. 

 

 

"There are two Sacred Gears that specialize in creating swords. Sword Birth, a demonic sword creation and Blade Blacksmith, holy sword creation .Considering the holy power emanating from the swords, it is not difficult to understand which one it is." 

 

 

I think we learned about Blade Blacksmith in classes, but I can't remember exactly, it was just about creating swords, I'll ask Dany later (best grades in the class) 

 

 

"Irina, has anything unusual happened to you? "

 

 

My father held my shoulders and asked .I can read the concern in his eyes, well we already checked if I had a sacred gear and now there is only one..... it's not strange to be worried 

 

 

Then it occurred to me 

 

 

"Father!!! God answered my prayers, he really did!!!" 

 

 

When the people around were confused, they made strange sounds. 

 

 

Well let's go somewhere else 

 

 

Then we went to another room with me, Xenovia, Dany and Griselda. 

 

 

I told them what happened in the morning and showed them the note in my pocket. 

 

 

They looked at the note, then at me, confused. 

 

 

My father started to speak 

 

 

"So Irina can you try creating a sword again?But this time try to make something different, for example, a wind sword."

 

 

"How will I do "

 

 

"Just imagine " 

 

 

As I listened to your words, I focused and imagined, once again a magic circle appeared in my hand, but this time the sword had a green handle and the blade was surrounded by a faint green light, Suddenly, wind started to spread from the blade, causing everyone's hair to wave. 

 

 

"That's very cool Irina, we should fight later"

 

 

Xenovia was next to me smiling at me 

 

 

For some reason I felt like the corners of my eyes were slightly teary. 

 

 

"Yes!!"

 

 

I was probably smiling the widest smile I could possibly make 

 

 

What I didn't notice was Daniele secretly smiling there, but unfortunately someone else noticed. 

 

 

After hours 

 

Daniele pov

 

As I walked down the hall I was thinking about previous events 

 

 

What you did was probably the biggest change to canon. 

 

 

That holy power jewel was the same jewel that contained the souls of Kiba's friends. One of his friends had this sacred gear 

 

 

When Kiba injected himself with the crystal in Canon, he also obtained Blade Blacksmith 

 

 

Of course, I already took care of the souls before giving them to Irina 

 

 

Flashback 

I was currently holding the holy power gem in balance breaker form. 

 

 

†holy drive†

 

 

I used my holy power to release the souls within the jewel and send them to heaven. 

 

 

In my balance breaker form, Holy Power was more practical as my power and control increased. 

 

 

When blue lights began to emerge from the jewel, transparent human figures formed and then rose towards the sky, emitting golden sparkles. 

 

 

"Thank you" I smiled bitterly when I heard this voice 

 

 

After they all disappeared I put my hands together and prayed for them 

 

 

Flashback end 

They didn't deserve this, even their souls were locked inside this jewel for so long, all I could do was provide them with freedom. 

 

 

Of course, the Blade Blacksmith was in one of that person's souls, but I kept the gem with the Holy Element inside and just freed the souls. 

 

 

It was a success, with Regulus confirming it. 

 

 

Did I feel a little bad about Kiba, but realistically, I had to choose between someone I'd never met and my childhood friend whom I cared about.....well, the outcome was obvious. 

 

 

 

Finally I entered a room 

 

 

"So why did you invite me specifically, Mr. Touji?" 

 

 

I looked at Irina's father in front of me and wondered why he called me at this hour. 

 

 

"I won't beat around the bush, you were the one who gave that jewel to Irina, right? 

 

 

Even though I was stiff for a moment, I immediately came to my senses and immediately denied it.

 

 

"What are you talking about? How ca—"

 

 

"I saw you leaving Irina's room last night, you were using magic to block out the sounds you made, and what a coincidence, the next morning of the same night, Irina finds "God's gift". "

 

 

.... Did I seriously get caught so quickly? 

 

 

"Ha-hahaha looks like I was caught" 

 

 

"Look Daniele, I'm not even going to ask where you got Blade Blacksmith, after all, it was only for my daughter's benefit, it would be hypocritical to complain, what I really want to know is why you gave it to Irina." 

 

 

Well, since he already knows, there's no point in lying. 

 

 

third person pov 

"*sigh* I didn't want her to get discouraged"

 

 

"Ha?"

 

 

"Irina blame herself the previous vampire incident to her own weakness, and since these days were behind her, she began to lose her self-confidence.I didn't want her to be too hard on herself or depressed. I also wanted to see Irina in her usual cheerful mood." 

 

 

"Why didn't you give it in your own name then?"

 

 

Daniele scratched his cheek lightly, feeling embarrassed for some reason. 

 

 

 

"I saw her praying, and I thought she'd feel happier considering she's a very religious person.I would also be spared the trouble of explaining."

 

 

"Well I'm relieved, look like I was worried in vain at first" 

 

 

Toiji started to speak, but his expression suddenly turned playful. 

 

 

"I was worried you was courting Irina"

 

 

Daniele looked at him blankly. 

 

 

"There's no way!!"

 

 

 

"Hoh~~why, isn't my daughter good enough for you?"

 

 

He said the last part in a dark tone, for some reason Daniele suddenly felt danger and tried to explain. 

 

 

"No no, I mean. Irina already. She loves Issei, right?"

 

 

 

"Did Irina tell you about Issei?" 

 

 

"Yes,she told us about his when she first came." 

 

 

When she first came

 

 

This part caught Touji's attention and he closed his eyes as if he understood something. 

 

 

 

"Well, what if Issei broke Irina's heart?"

 

 

"I would break his body."

 

 

Touji looked into the calm eyes of the boy who told him this, there was no fluctuation and he was definitely ready to do what he said. 

 

 

And he was right, Daniele would seriously do this, without him even realizing it, Irina had become as important in his heart as Xenovia ,if anyone hurt her. Well it won't end well for them 

 

 

"Well one last question, what do you think about Irina?"

 

 

"Irina to me, well she's like the sun .Can't show emotions like sadness or boredom around her.She is a cheerful person who is also willing to make others smile. Heh Irina....she.....really important to me "

 

 

 

"I understand, thank you for your answer, you can go and rest now, you must be pretty tired today after all." 

 

 

Daniele nodded and when he left the room, Touji walked to the other side of room, this guest room was in t two doors connecting to both sides and Touji headed for the other exit. 

 

 

When he opened the door, there was a figure of Irina sitting right next to the door and burying her face in her knees. The parts of her face that were still visible were red. 

 

 

"stupid. stupid stupid dany, don't say it directly "

 

 

She was muttering something quietly. 

 

 

Touji chuckled at his daughter's antics, reaching out and stroking her long chestnut hair. 

 

 

"Don't rush, but also don't regret it.My greatest wish, now or in the future, is for you to be happy." 

 

 

Daniele said that Irina loved Issei, but there was something he was missing. 

 

 

1-Irina said this when they were not that close yet, it is normal for her to be attracted to the boy, she has been with since childhood, but in the current situation, she also spent as much time with Daniele and Xenovia.

 

 

2-She was younger then, but she is much older now. Being together when you are a child and being together after you grow up are two different things. 

 

 

If Irina were asked the same question now, I wonder if the answer would be the same. ???

 

 

Touji also noticed these parts but didn't say anything, leaving the matter to the two of them, calling Irina here,It was to make her daughter aware of her own feelings.

 

 

Regarding Issei, it's not like Touji doesn't like him, after all, he's known him since he was a kid.They and Issei's family still keep in touch but 

 

 

Flashback 

"So Irina managed to make friends there, I'm so glad!!"

 

 

Touji listened as his wife talked to Miki Hyoudou on the phone and a smile appeared on his face.

 

 

""So how is Issei? It's been a long time, I'm sure he's grown up and become a good man." 

 

 

" .....issei is still the same but how should I say

 

 'OPPAI. Mom, I saw a onee-san with giant oppai in the park today, they were huge!!!!!!' 

 

As you heard" 

flashback end 

 

 

Touji's eyebrow twitched. 

 

 

Well even if she chose Issei to in the end....he would still accept it 

 

 

 if it's human, devil, werewolf or even vampire 

 

 

If his daughter loves him and the other person loves her back, Touji will still accept has, something he decided after feeling guilty after the incident in Kuoh years ago. 

 

 

 

But this does not mean that it will make things easier for the other party!!!!!!

 

 

Even if Touji approves of his, He won't let the other party touch his precious daughter with his dirty hands without pain!!!!!

 

 

Meanwhile, Daniele, who returned to his room, suddenly felt a chill.
