“……They are people from Lucifer's group.”
Yes, it was a sudden visit from some amazing people! Akeno-san and I returned to the training room, bringing the three people that appeared in the bathroom with us. The one who was the most shocked at this, was Rias and she screamed hysterically. “Souji! So everyone came here!”
The man wearing a haori called Souji smiled softly. “Hime. It has been a while. Yes, I thought I should escort Millicas-sama.”
The man called Souji then moves his eyes towards Kiba. “I’m glad that you are doing well, Yuuto.”
Kiba bows and fixes his posture. “It’s been a while since summer, Master.”
Yes, this man wearing the haori is Sirzechs-sama’s servant, the [Knight] Okita Souji-san! He is the real captain of the first division of the Shinsengumi! H..he is a historical person! Even a dumb person like me knows about the Shinsengumi! Someone who is super famous is among Sirzechs-sama’s group! And he happens to be Kiba’s swordmaster! How should I say it………I can only say one word: "amazing!". He is tying his hair at the back like a samurai…….well, heisa samurai! His appearance is that of someone in his late twenties. Though his real age is over a hundred years……! I asked Kiba about this person after the monster crisis. Then he told me the details about his master. I kept on being shocked about it. It seems there are cases where Devils in upper society have a historical person as their servant. The reincarnated Devils are those from when chess was created…..mainly the historical people are those from when chess started. Chess appeared in human history, then the Evil-Pieces were created, so the reincarnated ones are those from that time, until now. …….So which other famous people became a Devil? I can’t even imagine. “Hahahahaha! It’s been a while Hime-san!”
The one who is laughing loudly is the huge man. The wild aura covering his body feels as though it surpasses that of Sairaorg-san. His body is also one fold bigger than Sairaorg-san. …….His hands are insanely large! They are so big that he can hold my whole head, in one of them. “You are being rude to Hime. Rias-hime, it really has been a while. You have become even more beautiful.”
The one who makes his bow, while reprimanding the huge man, is wearing a crimson coloured robe. He is skinny and he has sharp eyes. Unlike the wild aura around the huge man, he has a limitless creepy aura coming from his body. …….It’s certain that they are strong people, who have powers I can't possibly calculate. “So Second and MacGregor also came. …….I wonder, what is the reason for Onii-sama’s servants to come here? All of you don’t gather together unless it is an emergency…… Even if you are here as Millicas’ guards, this is too much.”
Rias’ opinion sounds accurate. Why did they gather at my house? I understand why they gathered at the monster crisis, which was an emergency in the Underworld, but why did the strongest group, the Lucifer’s group, come to my house all of a sudden!? The huge man gulps the bottle of sake in his hand at once. The sake bottle looks like a mini toy. The man breathes out fire from his nose once he finished drinking it! He breathed out fire along with his breath! “Nothing much. We just thought “we should go somewhere with everyone”. So we came to see how Hime-sama was doing along with guarding Bocchan.Though we couldn’t bring that bastard Enku and Bahamoot.”
They gathered here just for a reason like that!? They came to visit the Hyoudou residence to see Rias while guarding Millicas-sama!? H..Hmm, I don’t understand the reason for the strongest group to visit my house at all! So is the reason for them to gather at my house related to politics!? “Even so, I’m amazed. I haven’t seen these three together since I was really little.”
Said Rias. Is that true? Then it means we are experiencing a rare situation then! “I am also surprised since this is my first time meeting everyone together.”
You too, Akeno-san!? Uwaah, today really is an amazing day……
Being puzzled, we just stood there stunned. All the Occult Research members, besides Rias and Akeno-san didn’t know what to do. “I will introduce them, to all of you then.”
Rias realised that we were shocked by these unexpected and unknown visitors, so their introductions began. First, it was the man wearing a haori….Okita-san. “He is my brother’s only [Knight], Okita Souji. He is also Yuuto’s sword master. All of you also know him from the Shinsengumi, correct?”
Irina is shocked at Rias’ introduction of him. “Y..Yes! So you are a historical person……right?”
Okita-san smiles at Irina’s shocked voice. “Yes, that is correct. At that time I left the battlefield due to my disease and to avoid dying from tuberculosis I lay my hands on various rituals. By chance, or a miracle, I ended up summoning that person, Sirzechs-sama. Back then he was in the form of a black cat.”
So there was a contract like that behind the history that we know of…… The episode between Okita-san and the black cat is famous. Is that for real, Sirzechs-sama!? “When he kept on repeating his rituals, Souji-san’s body became the home of monsters.”
The man wearing the robe gave me extra information. Then from behind Okita-san….a huge monster appeared which has the face of a monkey, the limbs of a tiger and a snake as its tail! A mixed monster! A chimera! Okita-san pats the monsters head. “This is a youkai called Nue….. It might be quicker if I say it is a Japanese version of a chimera. Due to the rituals, many youkai started living in my body…… So I was able to perform a “Hitori Hyakki Yakkou”.”
So many youkai like that are living in Okita-san’s house! Hyakki Yakkou, just what kind of state is that! “That’s why he probably needed two [Knight] pieces. The ones who were fighting the anti-monsters, created from Jabberwocky, were Souji-san’s youkais.”
The man wearing the robe explained. …….Since he is a “Hitori Hyakki Yakkou” he needed two of Sirzechs-sama’s [Knight] pieces. The question is how many dozens worth, of people’s work, he can perform. The point where he can fight all of the anti-monsters created from Jabberwocky makes him insane in many ways! His skill with using swords is so great that you probably need to put several words of “super”, your sword skills, right? So that means Kiba’s master is on a different level! “The things I learned from master were, the way to use swords and fighting posture, rather than his swordsmanship style. So my swordsmanship style isn’t completely that of “Tennen Rishin-ryu”.”
Kiba explained. Certainly Kiba’s sword style isn’t that of a samurai. Rias then moves the introductions along, “Next, I will introduce Onii-sama’s [Bishop].”
After Okita-san’s introduction ended, the man wearing a robe, who has been explaining everything to us, nods to us. His movements were filled with elegance. His age also appears to be that of someone in his late twenties, just like Okita-san. The long silts of his eyes and his shallow smile make him look bewitching.
