“I just want to fight Loki and Fenrir. Bikou and the others have already agreed to it. Does this reason not satisfy you?”
He is a battle loving maniac. He must be crazy for wanting to battle that dangerous monster! Hearing that, Sensei twitches his eyebrows with suspicions. “Yeah, I’m not satisfied. But it’s true that we want you as our manpower. Right now we are in a situation where each faction can’t send their manpower to us because of the Hero-faction. There might be a connection between your team and the Hero-faction, but…. Due to your personality there is no way for you to cooperate with the Hero-faction.”
“Yeah, we try not to get involved with each other as much as possible. I’m still planning to fight Loki and Fenrir even if we aren’t able to get your cooperation. –Though if you don’t cooperate with us, then we will still battle them while dragging all of you into it.”
…..A threat, huh. If we cooperate, they will defeat Loki with us. If we don’t cooperate, they will attack us along with Loki in order to defeat him, huh. “It seemed like Sirzechs was also thinking hard about this, but he said he won’t be able to turn down the offer of you who is the sole survivor of the descendants of Old-Maou. He sure is a naïve Maou, but I also think that it would be better to have you cooperate with us rather than letting you roam free.”
“Though there are more issues which we can’t come to an agreement with each other.”
Buchou says that after hearing Sensei’s opinion. It seems like she has some complaints, but since the Maou who is the King of devils said that, Buchou also won’t be able to talk back. Sona-kaichou also seems to agree to this. Though her expression tells me she is very dissatisfied. It must be easier to have them under surveillance rather than letting them free, but I don’t know if this guy will actually listen to us or not….. If Buchou agrees to this, then I have to do the same. Well, if these guys show any suspicious movement, then I think I should be prepared to beat them at least. Asia who is very honest doesn’t have that much suspicion towards them because they saved her once. Other group members seem to have some disagreement to this, but they came to agree to it. Sensei then stares at Vali. “Though he’s probably plotting something.”
“Who knows.”
“Though it won’t be a problem if we make it so that we can cut down any suspicious movements.”
“I don’t have any intents to do something like that, but if you were to come at me, I won’t go down doing nothing.”
Vali just smirks at Sensei’s words. “….Well, lets put this about Vali away for now. Now, lets move on to the countermeasure against Loki. I’m planning to ask a countermeasure about Loki and Fenrir to a certain someone.”
“You are going to ask about Loki and Fenrir?”
“Yeah, there is this guy who knows very well about those guys. So I will have him give information to us.”
“Who is this person?”
I said that while putting my hand up. “One of the Five Dragon-Kings, ‘Sleeping Dragon’ Midgardsormr.”
-! A dragon-king, huh. So what does that dragon-king have to do with all of this? “Well, that’s an obvious choice, but will Midgardsormr respond to our call?”
Sensei answers Vali’s question. “We will open the dragon-gate with the Two Heavenly Dragons, the power of the Dragon-King Fafnir, Vritra, and Tannin. We will just summon Midgardsormr’s consciousness over there. His actual body is sleeping in the depths of the ocean in North Europe.”
Hmm. So there is a way like that. So legendary dragons can do those kinds of things, huh. “Is it me or am I…also included….? The truth is I feel pushed back because everyone else are monsters….”
Saji asks that timidly. He does have the Sacred Gear of Vritra after all. “Well, I will have you come as one of the factors needed. Leave the majority of it to me and the Two Heavenly Dragons. Hold on until I get in contact with Tannin. I will go and talk to Shemhaza about the countermeasure for this. You guys stay on stand-by until I come back. Barakiel, follow me.”
“Roger that.”
Sensei and Barakiel-san leave the hall after saying that. The Occult research-club members, and the student council are left behind. And also the members of the Vali team. “Sekiryuutei!”
Bikou puts his hand up. “W-What?”
When I ask, Bikou says it with a naughty smile. “Can I go to the indoor pool below this floor?”
…………. I didn’t know how to answer back because he asked something which I didn’t expect. Buchou takes a step forward, and points her fingers at Bikou. “Hey. This house belongs to me and the Sekiryuutei Hyoudou Issei. I won’t allow you to do as you please.”
It seems like this house became mine and Buchou’s…… Well, her spoiled comments like this aren't something new so I guess it’s alright, but Buchou sure has a harsh attitude towards Bikou. Well, he is mainly an enemy so that can’t be helped I guess. “Now~ Now~, let me use it. Switch princess—“
SMACK! Buchou smacked Bikou’s head very hard! OOOOOOOO! It made a huge sound! Bikou then talks back at Buchou with teary eyes. “Ouuuuuch! What was that for! Switch-princess!”
“You! Because of you, I….am being called weird names in the Underworld!”
Buchou also has teary eyes. She is super pissed. She is about blow up. Ah~, so you weren’t okay with that after all. If I think about it, the first one to call her that name is Bikou, and Sensei used that name after hearing that. “Who cares. Oppai Dragon, I also watch that show. I’m honoured, since the name I gave is being used.”
Bikou just laughs loudly while having fun. He seems like he really is enjoying it deeply from his heart. “Nggggggh! What should I do with you…. !”
Buchou seems like she doesn’t like Bikou’s attitude and her whole body is trembling. She is enveloped in a red-aura and she has a dangerous atmosphere around her. “S-So this is the last Excalibur! So amazing.”
“Yes. Vali got information from his personal connections, and when we compared it to the scroll passed in my family, we were able to find it. Though the location of it is a secret.”
When I looked at the place where the voice came from, Irina and Arthur were discussing about the Excalibur. Irina’s personality is useful at times like this. She opens up to others right away. Next to them, Kiba and Xenovia seem to be listening to their discussions while being alert. They must want to know about the holy-swords since both of them are swordsmen. Then Asia pulls my sleeve. She’s acting hesitant. “What’s wrong, Asia?”
“U-Umm…..”
Asia directed her gaze….at Vali. I then realised what she wants to say. “You want to thank him?”
Asia nods her head silently at my word. The other day, Vali rescued Asia who was blown away to the dimensional gap. She must want to give him her gratitude. Mou! Asia-chan, you are such an honest and sweet girl! You are my pride! Vali is dangerous, but I can’t decline Asia’s request. I took Asia’s hand, and then stood in front of Vali. Vali is sitting on a chair with his legs crossed and is reading a book which looks complicated.
