“Sorry but is it all right if I am inside the cardboard box? ……I won’t close the lid. Just, when I talk to people, I can calm down inside the cardboard box.”
Is what Gasper says apologetically. It’s regrettable but I allowed it. There’s no helping it since it’s the first time. Forcing him isn’t good either. Let’s bring him out from his cardboard box gradually. “Ah, this is calming~. This is it~. The cardboard box is my heart’s oasis…..”
Is it that much! Is the cardboard box that comforting for you! …….However, this guy, the cardboard box suits him……. More like I am used to seeing him inside it. The cardboard box vampire. Since it’s an extremely new development I am troubled by how to react……. “If you dislike meeting eye to eye with people that much, then how about this------.”
I made two holes in a paper bag kept in the room and placed it on top of Gasper’s head. “T-This is…..”
The cross dressing young boy wore a paper bag on his head in the dimly lit room. A red glint made by his eyes is coming from the part where I had opened holes! “H-How is it~? Does it suit me~?”
He’s sluggishly coming closer to the path of a zombie! What intensity! No matter how you look at it. it’s a degenerate! I am seriously scared! “Ah, but, this…… It’s good right. It may suit me…….”
“Gasper, for the first time I have felt that you’re amazing.”
“R-Really…….? If I wear this then my value as a vampire may increase……..”
Yeah. More than a vampire, it’s a pervert at full power. I am beaten. These people around me are all weird. Like this, the indecent talk of males only through the night began. I knew it but Kiba was surprisingly a lecher himself. The next day, I was headed to a certain place. I was called by Akeno-san. More like, Buchou said that once she also finishes her work, she’ll come later. What work is it? The first things that come are ecchi delusions but since Buchou is also coming later, that possibility is nil. Me who is in between them is happy but it’s complicated. With something as an impetus, it seems it would turn into a big fight…… A struggle for me, whom is a pet. I am getting more than I deserve as a pet! It’s complicated as a man though. I continue to walk out of the city. …...Wait, there is only one important thing ahead. -----Yes, the shrine. Uwaaah. By Shrine, isn’t that a bad place for us devils! I still haven’t stepped inside a shrine but I had heard that you can’t enter that place easily. More like, I feel like I had heard from Buchou about it in the places not to enter……
While thinking that, my eyes caught the shadow of a human on the stone steps. Straining my eyes and looking----it’s the face of a person I recognise. “Welcome, Ise-kun.”
“Ah, Akeno-san! ?”
It was the figure of Akeno-san clad in a shrine maiden’s outfit. I am climbing the steps. Akeno-san who is moving forward says it without stopping. “Sorry, Ise-kun. Suddenly calling you out like this.”
“Ah, it’s no problem. I was also free with no work. But what kind of work is this? And also Buchou says she will also come later…...”
“Yes, I know. Rias has to do a final meeting with Sirzechs-sama regarding the conference matter.”
No, but, Akeno-san’s shrine maiden outfit is the best. It’s suiting her pretty good. She’s surely a Yamato Nadeshiko! Perhaps, her other name, ‘The Thunder Priestess’ came from here? More like, is it fine for devils to be in a shrine? My questions aren’t running out but why is Akeno-san over here? “Is it all right not going to the meeting along with Buchou? I was thinking that the queen’s power may be required…”
“Grayfia-sama will follow up over there, not to mention if it advances by a certain degree, then even without me it will be all right. More than that, I have to meet the person who’s waiting upstairs.”
Is what Akeno-san says and looks far off up the stairs. Huh? Is someone coming? The arch drew nearer. If devils try to cross this then they receive damage; they say not to come close to a shrine but…..
“This place is fine. An agreement was reached under the table, even devils can enter.”
While saying that Akeno-san passed through the archway without anything happening. Ooh, so it’s all right, huh. I also fearfully pass through. Ah, it’s seriously all right. In front of my eyes there’s a splendid main shrine present. I sense oldness but it doesn’t betray any damaged parts at all. “Akeno-san, do you live here?”
“Yeah, the priest of the last generation passed away, Rias secured this shrine which had no people remaining for me.”
“Is he the Sekiryuutei?”
------, I became aware of a third person’s voice, turning that side, the person there was------. Golden coloured wings to the point of dazzling are fluttering in front of me. A young man with a handsome face was sending glances at me. His body is wrapped in an extravagant white robe-----above his head a golden coloured halo is floating. Wait, a halo!? The young man gives a gentle looking smile, and comes for a handshake. “Nice to meet you, Sekiryuutei, Hyoudou Issei-kun.”
----. He knows my name. Who is he? Sensing my doubt, in front of my eyes 12 wings appear from the young man’s back. “I am Michael. I am the leader of the angels. I see, this aura’s quality, it’s surely Ddraig. This brings back memories.”
It’s a super big shot……..! With Akeno-san leading, me and Michael…….san headed to the main shrine. A halo is the proof of an angel. I heard this from Buchou before. For angels, their identifying features are the halo above their head and their white feathers, fallen angels’ feature is that they don’t have a halo and their wings are black. Michael-san had golden wings. He has the aura of a big person floating around him. Inside the quite large main shrine there were a number of huge pillars. From the centre, I felt an unknown surge of power, and it tingled my skin. This aura, what is it? It’s full of danger signals. “Truth is, I thought of awarding you this.”
Huh? Will he be giving me something? I send my gaze towards the direction Michael-san is pointing at with his fingers, over there a sword was floating oozing out a holy aura. …….Uwah, this must be a holy sword! Even the ignorant me knows this surge very well. Since I have come to see Excalibur, Durandal, I know what a holy aura means. “This is Georges----if I say Saint George then would it be better introduced? It’s the dragon slayer’s holy sword, Ascalon, that he possessed.”
No, I don’t know anything about any George or Saint George at all you know. [It’s a famous dragon slayer. Well, you should also study a bit more.] Shut up! And, what’s up with that Dragon Slayer. Doesn’t it have a dangerous smell just from the name itself? [A group of people who made slaying dragons their job------and also the term used for the weapon they used.] …….Assassins specialising in dragons, huh. Scary. Does that mean I am also a target? I dislike this more and more……. "As a special courtesy, since I am giving this, even you a devil who has the power of the dragon can handle it.
