Before you can possess it, do you think you can assimilate it into the boosted gear?" Is what Michael-san is saying but is it possible? [It depends on you. The sacred gear answers on your feelings. If you wish for it, it should be possible.] Is that so. Yeah, how should I do it. More like, listen to my question. “Why, give it to me?”
No matter how much I think I ask him that. Why is this seemingly valuable thing being given to me? I am the old enemy for the angels, not to mention, I am housing the dragon who caused trouble during the war a long time ago. I think I am the worst existence for them. Michael-san answers while smiling. “This time’s meeting, I think there’s a huge opportunity to cooperate between the 3 great powers. I hear you already know it so I am saying this but, we lost our creator-----God during the last war. Our enemies also lost the old Maous in battle. The leaders of the fallen angels are reticent. Azazel also has his official stand of not wanting to create wars. This is a chance. A chance in order to get rid of the useless battles. If small scale battles continue like this intermittently, then anyhow, the 3 great powers will be destroyed. Even if that isn’t the case, from the side other powers may invade. That sword is a present from me to the Maou side. Of course, I also sent presents to the fallen angel side. I got the rumoured holy demonic swords from the devil side as well, our side is very grateful as well.”
Haa. Michael-san is saying quite difficult things. Meaning, this time’s meeting is important, and he wants to make peace with us Devils and fallen angels. However, other powers? What’s with that? Is there something else besides the three great powers? [About that. Other than powers written in the holy scriptures, other mythological systems exist as well.] ……What’s that? Ddraig, that’s the first time I have heard of that…….? [Ordinarily, they don’t walk over from their territory. Since an implicit anti-war agreement was present. However, we don’t know if the others will move when they find out that the God of the holy scriptures has died. This talk is also about making sure that the three great powers don’t utter the non-existence of the God of the holy scriptures outside.] ? ????? I don’t get it. I don’t get what Ddraig is saying at all. My mind is full of questions. I don’t know about the deep internal conditions between the devils, angels and fallen angels, you know? Michael-san continues on his talk to me whose questions weren’t answered. “We heard that the one who opposed us, the Welsh dragon had become a devil. As a greeting, and alongside that as a present we’re giving you this sword . From now on you’ll probably be targeted by Dragon class opponents and the vanishing dragon. I thought that for the rumoured ‘The weakest host in history ', it may become a supporting weapon.”
Sorry for being the weakest! Even like this I am working hard, you know! It’s all things I don’t know but I understood that he’s giving me this sword. No, but why me? “Is giving it to me all right? More like, why me?”
“Only once have the three great powers held hands together. That’s during the time they defeated the red and white dragon. Since it was the two dragons who trespassed into our battlefield and threw the battlefield into disarray.”
I have heard that story from Ddraig before. And so, master Ddraig, he’s saying something. [……Who knows.] So you’ll play dumb, huh. Meh, it’s all right. “Wishing that we hold hands together like that time, I am placing my hopes in you------in the Sekiryuutei. It’s typical Japanese right?”
I thought of something but…… since the top of the angels is saying it with a smile on his face, I’ll believe it is the truth. I turn myself towards the above mentioned sword. But, can I touch it? Isn’t a holy sword dangerous for devils? Not to mention, isn’t it the worst case for it to be a Dragon slayer! Akeno-san says to me who was having difficulty in extending his hand. “There were final adjustments done on that sword in this shrine. Maou-sama, Azazel-sama, and Michael-sama’s camps’ ceremonies have been performed so even if a devil houses the power of the dragon, he can touch it.”
Seriously? If Akeno-san says it then it must be true. If it’s Akeno-san saying it then I can believe it! I fearfully took the holy sword floating in mid air in my hand. ……Nothing happened. I feel the holy aura but no damage or bad power is flowing into me. It seriously seems fine? [Partner, focus your consciousness on the boosted gear. I’ll follow up after that. ------Try making the sword in your hand combine with the surge of the sacred gear.] You say that but even if I am told that……
For the time being I focus on invoking my sacred gear, and made the red gauntlet appear. I try combining the surge of Boosted Gear with surge of the holy sword in my hand. …….The holy aura flows into the sacred gear. It passes through the sacred gear and the sensation of a bad surge flows into my body but…….. slowly it becomes familiar, and a sensation as if it is being taken in by Ddraig’s power attacks me. Kah! After running the red flash------a gauntlet existed with a blade growing out of the front portion of the back of my left hand. “…….It seriously combined.”
Amazing. The sacred gear and the holy sword integrated. The sacred sword grew out of the boosted gear! After confirming it Michael clapped his hands. “And, it’s time. I have to go soon.”
Huh? You’re already leaving? ------Ah. There was something I wanted to say if I met the angel side. “U-Um, I, want to say something to you.”
“Time to visit the conference, let’s hear it after the conference. I’ll definitely hear it. Don’t worry.”
After saying that, Michael-san’s whole body is wrapped by light, after a flash of a light for a moment, the big shot of the Angels had disappeared from this place. “Here’s some tea.”
“Ah, thanks a lot.”
We’re in the shrine after Michael-san left. I am intruding on the grounds that Akeno-san lives in. After passing through a Japanese style room, I was having tea in a room that looks like a tea ceremony room. If I remember correctly, you drink it after turning the cup 3 times, right? 1 time, 2 times, 3 times. It’s bitter. Akeno-san is looking at my reaction and laughing with a low voice. “Did Akeno-san work with Michael…….san on the sword present here?”
“Yes, in this shrine the specific modification ceremony was held for Ascalon.”
The setting of the 3 great power’s conference, and also this sword; Buchou and Akeno-san’s work is quite a lot and must be hectic…… Is this the mission of the King and Queen? I have to work so that I don’t get in their way and be the partner of Gasper like I was asked. ……We’re finally alone. Let’s try asking Akeno-san about the things I wanted to ask while we’re like this. I prepared myself and asked about the thing I have been worried about since the battle with Kokabiel.
