Oh yeah, Sairaorg-san’s mother was under the care of the hospital within the Sitri territory, so it won’t be weird for him to give his full support to Kaichou’s project. “Though it seems like the establishment for the next school after that would happen very far from now…… Even so, we already started recruiting children regardless of their status, and we started to take in children with poor demonic powers as well. The parents already brought their children and are asking us to take them in.”
Even though Saji said that happily, I can’t feel any energy in his words. Saji continues while sighing and putting on a complicated expression. “……You know how I said my dream was to become a teacher? I started to feel scared since that dream will turn out to become a reality…… I’m sceptical if I can even become a proper teacher once that school gets built…… They say that I can’t attain the licence to become a teacher over there until I become a Mid-class Devil. But I’m still a Low-class Devil……”
That’s a weak thought coming from the Student Council member Saji Genshirou who is always running around the school in high spirits. Saji narrows his eyes while resting his chin on his hand. “Rather, I don’t even know what to teach the kids. Boss Sairaorg is in high spirits and is saying that he would be teaching martial arts to kids who have poor demonic powers. I......don’t know what to teach them……”
Saji who is in deep thought looks at his own palm. “Even in the joint training with the Longinus possessors, I……was so pathetic that I couldn’t reach Balance Breaker.”
……Just like Saji said, we started training right away with Joker Dulio and Slash Dog Ikuse Tobio. Dulio and Tobio-san who are veterans showed us their power which was beyond what we heard from rumours, so even I had a really hard time. Rather, we knew that we wouldn’t finish the training safely if we fought seriously, so we determined that we needed to alter our training. For the training with Kiba, we both know our potential, so it was easy for us to maintain our training. If we are to train with those two from now on, we probably need to discuss this area together. Saji also trained with us, but he couldn’t reach Balance Breaker. “We just started. Don’t become so negative.”
I say that to Saji. He did seem like he was having a hard time training with the Longinus possessors but that will depend on how he does it in the future. Saji bows his head down. “……Yeah, you’re right. I’m sorry; lately I’ve been rushing things. Sorry for making you listen to weird and gloomy things.”
I did hear about Saji’s concerns from Sona-kaichou. [Saji is looking at your growth with envy, Ise-kun. So he can’t help but to compare himself to you who became a Devil at the same time as him and is starting to lose confidence…… Maybe the fact about wanting to become like you but can’t is cornering him little by little.] ……Saji, I can’t say things to you lightly, but be proud of your own strength. You have your own strength. I shake my head to the side and continue to talk. “No, even I saw the areas I needed to improve on with the training with Dulio and Tobio-san. It’s just started. And I’m glad I heard about the school.”
I’m honestly happy that the ambition of the Sitri group is progressing well. “Yeah, come and check out the school with everyone next time! By the time you guys come to visit, the construction of the school would have progressed even more.”
“I’m looking forward to it. ……I’ll definitely come with everyone.”
“Yeah, so bring Rias-senpai back. And also find out about Gasper-kun’s power.”
“Yeah, of course.”
—Then Saji half-closes his eyes and points at my luggage. It’s a porno magazine. “That……isn’t needed over there, is it?”
“Eh? But I can’t survive without this……”
It’s just one porno magazine so please let me off the hook! The members that will be heading to Romania gather at the centre of the magic-circle located under the Hyoudou residence. Ravel, Sona-kaichou, Saji, Sister Griselda, Kuroka, Le Fay, and Ophis came down to the basement to send us off. The destination of this magic-circle will be within the Carmilla’s territory. Apparently, Sensei prepared a teleportation magic-circle in their territory so we don’t have to go through the complicated route. ……To be honest, it makes me think that they should have done this before Rias and the other two departed…… They did arrive there using aeroplanes and such after all. Oh well, this is an emergency summon. The Vampires allowed us to head directly to their main headquarters as an exception because they are feeling threatened. We are dressed in a fashion where we are wearing warm clothing over our uniform. It’s apparently colder over there than the current Japan. It’s the right decision for us to wear it. “Then we’ll be heading off.”
“Yes, we’ll be waiting to hear good news from you. Bennia, Rugal-san, I will entrust their support to you two.”
《Roger that.》
“……Sure.”
Grim Reaper girl and Rugal reply back to Kaichou. Ravel who is my manager takes a step forward and puts on a worried face. “Ise-sama……”
“Ravel, don’t worry. I’ll definitely come back with everyone—”
I was thinking of patting her head, but—
“Do you have your handkerchief and tissue? You may be asked to sign a document or a signboard, so please keep a pen in your pocket. And please make sure you can use a breath care and toothbrush anytime. Teeth are important for celebrities! The Sekiryuutei has a hard schedule, so please use your time wisely. And also—”
She starts to tell me things in detail about my appearance like how a mother would! “It’s fine! I’m fully prepared to go! You sure are a worrisome girl, Ravel……”
Hahaha, it’s sure like Ravel. —Then Ravel passes me a single parcel. “This is the Phoenix’s tear that was sent from Onii-sama. Apparently there are three of them inside. He sent it right away as soon as he found out you would be heading off to Romania, Ise-sama.”
“Eh, from……Raiser……-san huh.”
……Oioioi, shouldn’t he send these things to Rias? No, Rias isn’t here right now….. But why did he send it to me! I don’t know why, but why are the guys that I know trying to raise my impression of them……? Please stop! I shake my head to get my mind straight and move my gaze to Kuroka and Le Fay. “Kuroka, Le Fay, I’ll leave this place to you.”
“Nyahaha♪ Well, I’ll protect this house at all costs just for you -nya.”
“Please say hello to Vali-sama and Onii-sama if you were to meet them over there.”
“Yeah.”
I nod my head and then look towards Ophis at last. The Dragon God-sama who has Rasse on her head. “Ise, the Evil Dragons are persistent.”
……Maybe Ophis somehow has a prediction of us encountering an Evil Dragon. I also have the same feeling. “I know.”
I simply tell her that and say this to the members remaining here. “Now then, the Occult Research Club will be heading to Romania!”
The teleportation light of the magic-circle Akeno-san is controlling grows stronger and flashes. The destination we are heading to is Romania!
