I never thought that my red colour could turn to crimson.] “I don’t understand “domination”. Those from “Khaos Brigade” seek domination. I don’t understand. Great-Red isn’t “domination”. I also am not “domination”.”
[There is no way for a being that has been strong from the beginning would be able to understand the reasons for “domination”. You who was born from the “nothingness” of “infinite” and Great-Red who was born from “illusions” from “dream” must have been from a different dimension. Ophis. You appeared in this World getting out from the dimensional gap. What have you attained from this World, and why did you think of returning to your homeland?] “I also want to question you. Ddraig. Why do you try to become a different being? Will you discard “domination”? What is ahead after that?”
……She answers him by questioning him. I mean I don’t even understand these guy's conversation at all. I don’t understand even a single thing! There are things that are hard to understand from a conversation between Dragons. It also felt like Albion, Midgardsormr, Vritra, and Yu-long spoke in their own pace of time. The usual Ddraig and old-man Tannin had some human behaviour in them you could say so it was easy to understand them……. But seeing Ddraig and Ophis speak like this makes me think that Ddraig holds a different perspective towards the World from mine. Maybe it is because they know a different view of the World from me. “……Very interesting indeed. A conversation between a Heavenly-Dragon and a Dragon-God is something you don’t see often.”
Sensei was listening to their conversation with his eyes sparkling. He does seem like he likes these kinds of things. Well I will leave this to my partner then. If it is me, then I won’t be able to keep up with Ophis’s conversation. I thought that my partner was someone I can depend on that much, but it changes after seeing his reaction with Ophis’s next question! “Ddraig, will you become the Chichiryutei? Can you surpass a Heavenly-dragon by groping tits? Ddraig, will you become a dragon that represents tits?”
Ddraig who heard that……..reacts in a way in which he needs to inhale some air! [Ugg…….Even Ophis ends up saying that……… Uuu! Haahaa…….! My consciousness got cut! Counsellor! Someone call the counsellor!] Crap! It seems like he is about to break because he received too much damage mentally! I got the medicine out and sprinkled it onto the jewel! “Calm down Ddraig! Here’s the medicine!”
Ddraig who had his jewel sprinkled with medicine had his feelings relaxed and starts to calm down. […….Ah..Yeah……. S-sorry…… This m-medicine sure works……]
…….You are too delicate…….. It looks like Ddraig’s soul is exhausted for real. Sorry! I’m really sorry! “I want to look. Ddraig. I want to look at this possessor even more.”
Ophis stares at me again! ….M-Me…..? Oh man….. Even if she’s emotionless, it seems like her eyes have the colour of interest in it…….! Sensei breathes out and then put his hand on my shoulder. “So like that, can you leave her in this house for a few days? Just as you see, Ophis wants to look at you. I don’t know what reason there is behind this, but it will be fine if it’s just looking right?”
Even if you say it like that…… Having her who is the boss of the terrorists and the final boss look at me with interested eyes is a bit……. I looked at Rias for help but……
“I don’t mind if Ise is okay with it. Of course we will be on alert and we will have to stop her with full force if anything happens. If you accept that, then I will……..take this request, Azazel.”
…..! Rias is okay with it!? ….I think she took an interest in Ophis’s true motive! If we can find the string that will lead to the collapse of Khaos Brigade then we can’t ask for anything more! If we can stop the terrorist organisation by talking to their boss, then that would be the best. Having the fight stop without spilling blood seems peaceful and good. But I don’t think that Cao Cao would stop that easily. It seems like the revolt in each area where he tells the Sacred Gear possessors how to attain Balance-Break is still going on but is being taken care off with few exceptions….. And in a situation like that, Ophis’s thoughts will change the direction of the World. And deciding that would depend……on my actions? Why is such an important task placed into my hands!? I just want to live peacefully with everyone! Why does everyone bring such troubles and causes to me!? I just want to live in peeeeeeeeace! …….Even if I shout like that within my heart, it’s certain that I have to accept this request. “…….I’m OK with it as well. It’s just that the tests are coming up soon, so if she's not a nuisance then its okay.”
I gave up after giving the minimum rule. Sensei puts his hand on my head. “I’m sorry for dragging you in every time, Ise. Putting stress on you even though it’s right before your important test…… But this is a chance. If it goes smoothly, then the threat that each faction is facing might lessen.”
Yes, yes. I will do my best…… I can’t decline it if Sensei bows his head down. You are my benefactor after all. “I’m not in the position to say this but Ophis and Kuroka, these guys have important tests coming up so just don’t disturb them.”
“Understood.”
“I will just relax nyan.”
Ophis and Kuroka agreed to Sensei’s order. Did they really agree to it…….? I was looking at the two of them with doubtful eyes and then Le Fay came to me pushing out something. It was an autograph paper. She says it while twitching her body. “U-Umm! The battle against Bael the other day! I was deeply moved! Please give me your signature if it isn’t too much!”
….Oh yeah. This girl is my fan. Hahaha. All of Vali’s comrades are crazy strong but they do lack in being nervous and they are all weirdos. “Yeah, yeah.”
I signed her autograph paper while making a bitter smile. Like this, we took in an absurd visitor and spent our days together untill the test day. …………. It’s the weekend and we still continue to study for the test. There is one girl in gothic-lolita clothing sitting at the corner looking at us. Obviously it’s Ophis……..
A few days have passed since that day, and I have my books out studying with the other members of the group in the spacious living room for the exam and promotion test…… And in the corner of the living room, Ophis is sitting staring directly at us. And that’s while she is eating tea cakes that mum gave her. This abnormal scene is very bad for me mentally……. We have tests right in front of us you know……. Everyone else is studying trying not to think about it, but sometimes they look at Ophis. Of course they would, since the boss of the terrorists is on standby in the corner of the room. To tell you the truth, it’s not a time in which I can study right now. But I don’t feel any hostility or fighting spirit from her. She really is just sitting there. Kuroka, Le Fay, and Fenrir are playing at the indoor swimming pool located at the basement of the Hyoudou residence.
