What If They Both Die!?

Chapter 133 - What If They Both Die!?

"What?"

Both Irina and Xenovia looked at Mahiro in disbelief.

"Rias Gremory, are you saying this boy is your fiancé?" Xenovia asked to confirm she had heard correctly.

"A human being turned out to be the fiancé of Maou's sister? Are you sure you're not kidding?" Irina also looked at Mahiro in shock.

"Am I on such good terms with the two of you that I need to joke around?" Rias frowned, displeased.

"Heh heh..." Irina laughed dryly and didn't speak further. In this situation, even she knew Rias was telling the truth.

However, she still looked at Mahiro with great curiosity. For a human to become the fiancé of Maou's sister was like a fantasy.

She was very curious about what attracted Rias to this boy, making a future high-ranking Devil recognize him as her fiancé.

"Since he is your fiancé, there's no need to hide this from him," Xenovia said, recovering her composure.

She was also curious. 

Could it be that the Devils' population had really reached a critical point, and even the Maou's sister was looking to marry a human? 

If so, wouldn't that be great? For the people in their church, the worse the Devils' situation, the better.

"It is indeed a big shot who stole the Holy Swords this time, and I guess you've heard his name," Xenovia explained.

"Oh? Who?" Rias was intrigued.

"The cadre of the Grigori, Kokabiel," Xenovia said.

"It turned out to be him..." Hearing this, Rias was shocked. Then she smiled bitterly: "This is the most serious situation. I didn't expect such a big figure to come to Kuoh Town."

"So, we don't want you Devils to interfere," Xenovia said.

"You understand, this time the enemy is super powerful. Even if you want to intervene, it would be useless," Irina said with slight satisfaction.

Mahiro glanced at her, not knowing what she was so proud of. 

Was she pleased that mentioning Kokabiel's name made Rias and the others retreat?

"Don't you know Mahiro-kun's identity?" Rias asked tentatively.

Although Kokabiel's background is indeed significant, the Red Dragon Emperor is no pushover.

In particular, Mahiro had also unlocked Balance Breaker. Even if he couldn't match a true Maou-level character, he wasn't without a chance against a Fallen Angel cadre.

"Isn't he your fiancé?" Irina asked curiously. Didn't they just say that?

"Isn't he a human?" Xenovia asked strangely, not understanding why Rias suddenly asked this question.

"No, it's nothing," Rias waved her hand.

Mahiro's identity as the Red Dragon Emperor was already known by many, but Irina and Xenovia, being assigned by the church to carry out a mission, hadn't had the opportunity to learn about what happened recently.

"In short, we've said what we came to say. We hope you won't interfere in this matter, and we'll try to resolve it as soon as possible," Xenovia said as she prepared to end the conversation.

"What if we have to intervene?" Mahiro said lightly.

"Then we can only say sorry. If you hinder us, we'll have to eliminate you first. After all, if we're distracted by others, even our slim chances will disappear," Xenovia said determinedly.

"I don't know if the church higher-ups have problems with their heads, or if they have some deeper meaning, sending two idiots like you to handle such a person," Mahiro said helplessly.

"Who are you calling an idiot!" Irina said indignantly.

"I won't mention it for now, but you have a point. Irina is indeed an idiot," Xenovia nodded seriously.

"Hey, Xenovia, what are you talking about!" Irina looked at Xenovia unhappily.

"Yeah, since it's on our territory, there's no reason to let it go," Yuuto said coldly, hatred and eagerness in his eyes.

"Mahiro-kun, are you going to intervene?" Rias asked.

If it was Mahiro's decision, she would naturally support it.

And Yuuto was right. Kuoh Town was her territory; she couldn't let such a big incident slide.

"Well, to be precise, we must intervene," Mahiro nodded. "Have you two thought about it? The church's territory is thousands of miles away from Kuoh Town. Why did Kokabiel come all the way here?"

"Of course, to avoid the church's pursuit. What else?" Irina answered matter-of-factly.

"I am now convinced that your companion is indeed an idiot," Mahiro gave Irina a deep look, then turned to Xenovia.

"I figured that out a long time ago," Xenovia nodded sympathetically.

"Hey, don't both of you look at me like that!" Irina cried out in dissatisfaction.

"Looks like you haven't guessed Kokabiel's intentions in choosing Kuoh Town," Mahiro said to Xenovia.

"..." Xenovia was speechless.

She hadn't guessed anything. Along the way, she had suffered a lot because of Irina's foolishness. 

She just thought it was fun to make Irina realize she was an idiot.

"Remember, Kokabiel is recorded as a very crazy Fallen Angel, especially when it comes to war. He's a fanatic," Mahiro explained slowly.

"What does this have to do with him coming to Kuoh Town?" Irina stared at Mahiro, as if she wouldn't give up until he provided a reasonable explanation.

"Tell me, if Rias or Sona were to die, what would happen?" Mahiro asked.

"War!"

Rias said solemnly, "Even putting me aside, if something happened to Sona, Serafall-sama would never let it go."

"Even if it meant another Great War, she would avenge Sona."
