So it’s hard for me to react since he’s acting so stiff towards me~
The Dragon———, Bova, says further to push his request. “Can you please allow me to stand beside you?”
This guy is also looking straight into my eyes just like Nakiri from before. …………Oh man, just look at the situation I am in. What am I supposed to do? That’s the only words coming into my head. ……I really have been saying I’m “troubled” or “oh man” since before. “How about it, Ise?”
Rias tries to confirm with me. If he was simply my guest, then Rias who is my master would have sent him off and would have told him to come another day…… Bova came to rely on me who will become a High-class Devil. Rias asked me by understanding that. ……Not becoming my servant but my subordinate huh. Well, once you become a High-class Devil you will also have a retainer and henchmen besides your servant. Even if they aren’t a direct servant there are many workers and soldiers at the Gremory castle. And he’s saying he’s okay with being one of my soldiers. ———Not becoming my “Pawn” but simply my soldier. “……Is it okay for me to give you my answer once I become a High-class Devil?”
That’s the best answer I can give him right now. At the end, Bova became convinced with my words and returned home……
……From now on I will be getting more juniors at my school and once I become a High-class Devil I need to think about my other subordinates and not just my servants. I have so much troubles going through my head and Rias says it as she smiles to me. “Being a High-class Devil is full of concerns you know?”
She then holds me gently. “But your senior and your manager is always besides you so you can consult us anytime, okay?”
……Yeah, she’s right. That’s absolutely right. Fortunately, I have Rias and Ravel behind me. So I don’t have to be concerned just by myself, right……? Ravel takes my hand and smiles. “She’s right. Ise-sama, you have been putting on a difficult expression all the time lately. Please consult us when you are concerned. I also come from a High-class Devil household you know? Yeah, I have many comrades and High-class Devil around me. Too many things happened which made it hard for my brain to keep up with. But I can simply ask my “seniors” when I’m in doubt. Just a bit is fine———. I can simply take a step by step and come to understand it bit by bit. ———Azazel-sensei. I will do my best! ———○●○———
It happens on the next weekend. All of us living in the Hyoudou residence came to the ocean, an inhabited island. In order to do fishing that is. “Alright! I sure am going to fish them out! Ask me anything when you need a word of advice!”
[Yeah~!] My comrades (mainly ORC members) responds to my dad’s words. That’s how my dad said in high spirits as he is the one who came up with idea to go fishing and the one in charge. Yes, yesterday during dinner the fishing topic my dad started became a hot topic so we decided to go fishing immediately after listening to his passionate talk. Everyone was eager in his plan and this event happened smoothly after many preparations. So that’s how I ended up coming here to the beach together with everyone. By the way this inhabited island belongs to someone related to us and they say that you can catch many good fishes around here. “……Geeze, he’s in high spirits like a child.”
I’m feeling a bit embarrassed at how my dad is behaving. Well, its normal to feel embarrassed if your dad acts like a child in front of your comrades! “Tell me when you get hungry. I’ve prepared riceballs and snacks.”
———Mums says that as she points at the large basket. Mum setup the parasol on the beach of the inhabited island to make a base. Rias and Akeno-san are also helping her. Yup, I can just go where mum is waiting when I want to take a small break. Dad isn’t the only one in high spirits. There are many girls that are keen in fishing ever since we planned to do this today. Xenovia and Irina are acting in high spirits by carrying their fishing rod from their shoulders. “Xenovia! Let’s have a challenge to see which one of us can catch the most fish!”
“Bring it on, Irina!”
Xenovia and Irina went sprinting through the beach sand to find a fishing spot while dragging Asia with them. “I will catch them while diving into the beach.”
Rossweisse-san headed towards the sea in her wetsuit while carrying a harpoon with her. Rossweisse-san sure does take an amusing action sometimes. Ah, but catching them while diving into the sea doesn’t seem bad either. Besides, there are an interesting bunch of lads with us today. “Well, I never imagined that you will be joining us today.”
The one standing in my sights are———the Vali team! “Fu, doing things like this at times might not be a bad idea.”
Vali smirks as he prepares his fishing rod. Dad explained about his fishing plan and invited Vali who had visited the Hyoudou residence in coincidence. Then what happened was a surprise! Vali brought Bikou and Arthur with him where they all appeared in the Hyoudou residence this morning! ……I get confused at Vali team’s action at times. They want to go to many places. I even come to think that they are normal adventurers at times. Right besides us are Kuroka, Koneko-chan, Ravel, Gasper, and Valerie that has formed a group and are currently finding their fishing spot. “Shirone! Birdie-chan! Gya-kun and Valerie! Do your best! I will eat the fishes deliciously once you caught them –nyaan~”
Koneko-chan responds to Kuroka with a dumbfounded look to Kuroka who has no intention of fishing. “……We definitely won’t give the fishes to Onee-sama.”
Ravel is spinning around the reel in excitement. “I have never done fishing before.”
“It’s my first time too~”
“Ufufu, I will just be cheering Gasper then.”
Gasper seems to be enjoying himself and Valerie is also smiling happily while wearing a strawhat. Valerie succeeded in retrieving all of the Holy Grails into her body. The Grigori done a checkup for her and now she’s able to walk outside normally like this. It seems like the pendant which was made from fragment of the actual Holy Grail is continuing to give effect to the “Sephiroth Grail” which had returned to its original state. The Grigori made the report that as long as she doesn’t extensively and overuse her ability then it won’t contaminate her mentality. In other words Valerie can finally walk outside without any concern. ……Yeah, there were many difficulties but there were things we were able to retrieve like this. We are able to go fishing with everyone like this because I was able to take back my dad and mom back from Rizevim’s grasp. ———Then another heartwarming scenery appears within my vision,
Le Fay is acting shocked at the fishing rod. “Onii-sama, I-I don’t think I can attach the bait onto the hook.”
“It can’t be helped then. I will do it for you afterwards. But remember that a witch shouldn’t be afraid of an insect, okay?”
Arthur responds to Le Fay as he made a brotherly smile to her who is afraid of the insect which will act as the bait.
