The fact about the experienced Magicians being gathered over here. I’m sure both of these are related. Or else they couldn’t have made a daring move like teleporting Agreas by using the teleportation magic-circle. And the way how they were cautious in sealing the spell of the Magicians such as Gondur-san. I can only assume that they progressed their plan while measuring the strength of us, the D×D. ……There’s someone who knows a lot about the Underworld’s situation who is leaking information to them. —It means that there are those who find peace painful. Vali’s words cross my mind all of a sudden. Then Dulio comes rushing towards us while breathing heavily. “Ah! I’m sorry for being late! How should I put it……I will just do my best in taking care of the aftermath of this battle!”
Looks like even the Heaven’s trump card couldn’t respond to an incident that happened only for three minutes. I head to the temporary tent which is built at the schoolyard. The members that have relatively minor wounds are taking a rest there. Maybe Asia has finished healing the injured, so she’s taking a rest there. Gya-suke possibly has become exhausted since he continued to create the beasts of darkness, so he’s sleeping while sitting on the chair. I also sit on one of the chairs and take a break. I then say it after taking a big breath. “……I know that the winter holiday is coming up, but the second semester sure was full of commotion. Seriously, ever since the summer holiday ended, all these crises have happened like crazy……”
Within less than four months, I encountered situations where I thought I would actually die. ……Ah, I actually died once physically if I think about it. Aren’t I dying once every semester!? At this rate, I would die again during the third semester so it scares me. And I can’t even take that as a joke! Rias then speaks out her decision. “—Let’s having a gathering during the winter holidays.”
“You mean having a training camp for the winter holidays? With the D×D members?”
“I really do want all of you to take a break since we are in a busy time of the year, but we are being sought for help from a certain place before the winter holidays.”
“From where?”
“—The Church. I can also say the Heaven, I guess.”
The Heaven! ……Will it be safe for a Devil to go there? Ah, Xenovia went there temporarily to have Durandal repaired. But I sure am looking forward to it since I haven’t been to the Heaven yet. ……So it’s the Kingdom of Heaven, right? It sure is a strange feeling since we will be going there even though we are alive and are Devils. Rias then smiles. “Looks like we will be spending time with the Angels for the end of the year. I will be deciding more about it with Irina and Sister Griselda. Hmm, I’m sure looking forward to it. —Then Xenovia returns from the basement. “Ah, I finally found you. So you were here, Buchou.”
“Is something wrong, Xenovia?”
Xenovia nods and she says it while looking around all of us, the Gremory group. “Yeah, I thought this would be the right time I tell everyone. Since Ise is also here, this will be a good timing.”
What the? Is something happening? Irina also stands next to Xenovia while putting her chest forward and says “Ehen!”. Xenovia then says. “I heard there will be an election happening once we enter the third semester to decide the Student President.”
Yeah. The election will happen soon as we enter the third semester. “Yeah, Sona-kaichou and Shinra-fukukaichou will graduate after all. They would need to choose the new Student Council members. ……Wait, don’t tell me you’re……”
I reach a certain conclusion! More like she’s crossing her arm in confidence! Xenovia declares it while pointing up. “Ise, I will run for the election. —I want to become the Student President.”
—! “ “ “ “Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh! ?” ” ” ”
Kiba, Koneko-chan, Ravel, and I, become so shocked! Leaving aside the sleeping Gasper, it seems like Rias, Akeno-san, Asia, and Rossweisse-san knew this judging from their behaviour! Wait wait wait wait! I could never have predicted that she will run for the Presidency! Ah! So that’s why she became enthusiastic at studying and school activities! Rias then says. “We were also shocked when she came to consult with us. I never predicted that Xenovia wanted to become the Student President…… The reason why she started becoming keen towards school matters lately was due to this reason.”
Xenovia continues while nodding her head. “I’m planning to participate in the election campaign. ……I guess I would leave the ORC, but I have an ambition where I want to become the Student President. So I ask for your approval.”
......O-Ooooooooh……
I-It seems like some crazy thing will happen. That Xenovia……is running for Presidency! There’s no way I could have ever guessed her to appear for becoming the successor of Sona-kaichou! I ask Rias. “I-Is it really okay? For Xenovia to leave ORC?”
She is still a member of the Gremory group and we have been acting while using the ORC as the centre of it. Rias nods. “Yes, I think it's okay. Since the fact about her being part of the Gremory group won’t change. I’m sure a school that will be run by Xenovia will be interesting. Oh my, you sure are easy going! I-Is it really okay~? Rias then tells everyone. “We still have some days left so let’s make a plan before the winter holidays.”
Asia forgets about her fatigue and hugs Xenovia. “Xenovia-san, I will help you as well!”
Irina also hugs onto Xenovia. “Count me in as well! I’m quite good with religious propagation and religious proclamation!”
“Yeah, I’m also fairly good with religious propagation! I will become the Student Council!”
“ “ “Yeah!” ” ”
Xenovia, Asia, and Irina are hyped! I-I think those things are different. Oh yeah, so the Church-trio will be helping with Xenovia’s election huh. Well, I will help as well. Oh man, I really am surprised. I then take a glimpse at Rias. She says this while putting on a bit of a sad expression. “……Our graduation is just right ahead soon as we enter the third semester. ORC would also need to have a new Club President.”
“Have you decided on who it will be?”
I ask, but she puts her finger on her lips and winks at me. “It’s still a secret. Though I have already chosen who it is together with Akeno.”
They did huh. I’m also becoming curious about it. But seriously, there’s going to be so many types of generation changes happening huh…… Both the ORC and Student Council. Rias then tells everyone after she claps her hand. “Now then, let’s do another work before the winter holidays. First, we need to take care of this place.”
“ “ “ “ “ “ “ “Yes!” ” ” ” ” ” ” ”
Everyone replies and resumes their work. —Irina then pulls my sleeve. She looks rather happy. “By the way, Ise-kun. It’s almost the promised season.”
“Huh?”
I can only put a dumbfounded expression to Irina’s smile. But she continues without caring about it.
