To attain a price by granting human’s wish, and having the need for the beliefs of a human. Aren’t we supernatural beings, “the weak”, which can only live by using humans as our source?”
Yes, Devils aren’t justice. Since there are those who are made into a servant by unreasonable trade. But I quit being a human. I can only live as a human. ……But I’m going and coming back between the life of a human and Devil. This Vampire girl is completely from the supernatural being’s side. She’s very sure that humans are sources. So it’s not an equal trade, but a one-sided slaughter! ……I don’t like this girl’s eyes. The eyes she is looking to other beings with besides them looks very discriminating. She even calls Gasper who is a half, “a hated child” and “mixed breed”……
If I remember right, pure Vampires have stronger obsession towards bloodline and rankings than Devils. I see, I can understand that very well by looking at this Elmenhilde. —To them a world is a place where there are only two species of “Pure Vampires” and “others”. Elmenhilde calls the Vampire who is acting as her bodyguard standing behind her, and she takes out something that looks like a document. “I didn’t come here empty handed. I have prepared a document.”
Elmenhilde hands the document to Sensei. Sensei who received the document, sighs after looking through the document. “……A peace conference with the Carmilla’s side, huh.”
[——!?] Everyone who is gathered in this place become shocked with Sensei’s words! ……So they brought a trump card up their sleeve for having a diplomatic relation……! They didn’t respond until now, and they make an action like this at this timing! Sensei puts the document on the table, and then asks Elmenhilde. “So then. This meeting today is for diplomatic reasons, and you were dispatched to us as a special envoy, right?”
Elmenhilde shows her smile at Sensei’s question. “Yes. Our Queen, Carmilla-sama, is saddened with the war we have been having with the Governor-sama of the Fallen Angels and the Church that has been going on for a long time, and she is saying that she wishes to have a truce.”
Sensei has veins appearing from his cheek because of the way Elmenhilde is handling this. “You are getting the steps wrong, Missy. Normally the treaty for the peace comes first, and the thing about Longinus comes after that. This just seems like you are saying that you won’t agree to peace unless we help you out.”
Sister Griselda who narrowed her eyes mysteriously continues after that with a calm behaviour. “We, the Three Great Powers that have been asking and agreeing for peace with each faction without any discrimination will certainly have a weaker persuasive power towards other factions if we don’t agree to this term. They will think that “So even if they are asking for peace with each faction, they untie the tension with those they choose”. And instead of ceasing war, it’s to have a truce. It feels like they have come under our weakness.”
…………
W-What a bunch of cowardly guys……! They came to ask for Gasper by using the negotiation as their shield……! If we don’t agree, not just Rias, but her brother Sirzechs-sama will also lose trust from others! Rias has increased her meritorious deeds by being a Switch-princess and by fighting terrorists. If she is to decline this offer, won’t it be weird if it affects our actions from now!? Rias' body is shaking with rage. Sona-kaichou holds Rias’s hand, and she shakes her head to calm her down. Elmenhilde says it while lifting her mouth as if she is truly happy. “Please be rest assured. The fight between Vampires will be solved only with Vampires. If you lend us Gasper Vladi, we won’t ask for more. We will also prepare a connection with you and the House of Vladi along with taking part in the truce.”
I wasn’t able to hold myself, so I ask. “Hold on. Even if we hand Gasper over to you, are you even going to return him back to us safely? No, we still haven’t said we will hand him over to you! But still, I want to ask about that!”
Of course. If there isn’t any insurance that they are planning to return Gasper safely after we send him to the dispute, I won’t……there’s no way I will allow that……! He’s my precious junior, damn it……! Elmenhilde looks at me with discriminating eyes. “You are the servant of the High-class Devil Rias Gremory-sama, ―Sekiryuutei, correct? Do you have the right to speak to me who is a special envoy? Even if you are the Sekiryuutei, a mere servant that doesn’t have any qualifications has no right to question me, correct?”
――! My rage explodes inside me. I want to shout out “Don’t screw around!” right this moment! But if I do that, everything will be a waste……! S-Shit! This bitch……! Just how much……! Well, I don’t have any qualifications! But Gasper is……! ―They are saying “We will agree with the truce, so hand Gasper over!” while looking down on us, you know!? Kiba stops me with his hand, and looks at Rias. Rias makes a deep sigh, and is trying to calm herself down. Sensei says it on behalf of Rias. “Having a truce with the Vampires by sacrificing one of the servants of the next heiress of the House of Gremory, huh. If I have to sum up what you guys from the Carmilla’s side are trying to say, this is what you are saying, right?” Sensei says what Rias wants to say by understanding how she is feeling about all of this. “It’s not decided that he will be sacrificed. There is nothing better but to have this settled immediately.”
Elmenhilde starts saying some crap. “You don’t want us to interfere right? How about acting as the middleman or helping one of the sides? You need Gasper because you are lacking power, right?”
Elmenhilde shakes her head to Sensei’s suggestion and answers. “No, we will settle our problem with our own hands. If you want to be an advisor, then be my guest.”
……They are doing as they please. They really are selfish. So this is a pureblood Vampire. They don’t care about the world besides theirs. And if it’s a half, they will even use them despite being someone born from the enemy’s side. Even if they persecuted them, they will still use them if they are half Vampires. ……They are so consistent. It’s unfair……! She looks around us, and Elmenhilde stands. “This is all I have to say. It was fortunate that I was able to meet you tonight. Above all else, I thank your great kindness of allowing a Vampire into your territory, Rias Gremory-sama.”
Rias puts on a mad expression at Elmenhilde’s cold smile which looks so fake. Her eyes are filled with rage. “……Yes, I’m glad that I was able to have this precious meeting. After all, I understood very well about your kind.”
“Then, farewell. I will leave my servant in this area. If something happens, please consult that person. ―Now then, I will be waiting for your good reply.”
She didn’t even flinch with Rias’s last sarcasm, and the resident of darkness left this old school building――
The meeting ended, and about 10 minutes have passed—
The one who bursts out by smacking the table is Xenovia.
