There’s no way that she, who became a devil, still believes in God.”
Shidou Irina said it with an amazed face. “No, I can smell the “belief” from her. It might be an abstract way of saying it. But I’m sensitive to these things. There are people who betray the teachings and still have guilt within them because they couldn’t forget the teachings. I can feel something similar coming from her.”
Xenovia said it with sharp eyes and Irina stared at Asia even more with interested eyes. “Is that true? Asia-san, you still believe in God even if you have turned into a devil?”
Asia replied to that question with a sad expression,
“……I just can’t put it aside. I believed in it for my whole life……”
Hearing that, Xenovia took her sword out from the cloth and pointed it at Asia. “Is that so. Then you should be cut down by us this instant. If it’s now, I can cut you in the name of God. Even if you have sin, our God will forgive you.”
……I couldn’t stop something within me from burning. Xenovia approached Asia. I stood in front of Asia to protect her. “Don’t touch her.”
I said it clearly to Xenovia,
“If you come close to Asia, I won’t forgive you. You called Asia a “Witch” didn’t you?”
“Yes I have. Right now she is a being at least fit to be called a “Witch”.”
Th…this bitch!? I bit my tooth really hard and made a noise with my teeth because of the anger I had towards her. “Don’t fuck around! Not even a single person helped her when she needed help! Those who can’t understand Asia’s kindness are a bunch of idiots! It’s also wrong that none of them tried to become her friend!”
“Do you think the “Holy-maiden” needed friends? What’s important is the charity to others. The “Holy-maidens” are finished when they seek friendship and love from others. She could have continued to live with the love from God. So Asia Argento didn’t have the right to be a “Holy-maiden” from the beginning.”
Xenovia said it as if it was an obvious thing. Shit! What the heck is with these guys! I couldn’t understand them! I didn’t want to understand them either! How could they say that Asia was the bad one!? “So you guys selfishly made her into a “Holy-maiden” and abandon her because she’s different from those who seek her? That’s fucked up……… It fuckin is!”
I couldn’t stop myself from saying what I held within me. I always... I always wanted to say this to those who are related to God. “None of you know what she went through! What God!? What love!? That God didn’t do jack shit when Asia was in a dangerous situation!”
But Xenovia answered calmly. “God loved her. If nothing happened then it means that she didn’t believe in him enough, or her belief was fake.”
Are the people in the Church all like this? Was Asia living among these guys? Don’t screw around…… Don’t screw around. “What are you to Asia?”
“Family. Friend. Comrade. That’s why I will help Asia. I will protect Asia! If you try to lay a hand on her, I will turn all of you into my enemies.”
Xenovia sharpened her eyes at my provocation. “Is that a declaration to us……all of those in the Church? Something big coming out from a single devil. Gremory. I think you didn’t educate him enough?”
“Ise, sto……”
Buchou tried to calm me, but Kiba stood in front of me. “That’s good timing. I will be your opponent.”
Kiba was carrying his sword, and there was an enormous aura of intent to kill coming out of his body. “Who are you?”
Kiba smirked at Xenovia’s question. “I’m your senpai. Though I apparently was a failure.”
That instant a countless number of demonic-swords appeared in the club room. Hmmmm. So how did it turn out like this? I was standing at the place where we were practicing for the ball tournament. Kiba was standing a bit away from me. And Shidou Irina and Xenovia were standing in front of us. Enveloping us and our surroundings was a barrier made from red aura. The other members were looking at us from outside the barrier. “Then let’s start.”
Irina and Xenovia took their white robe off and were wearing black battle purpose clothes. They weren’t showing their skins but it looked……erotic…… You could see the curves of their bodies. Ummmm, both of them have nice curves and tight hips! Xenovia took the cloth off her weapon and revealed her Excalibur. The Excalibur that Shidou Irina had also turned into the shape of a katana. I will explain how it turned out like this. While I was arguing with the two holy-sword wielders, Kiba came in and it got worse. Buchou also seemed troubled about keeping the situation under control because it was us, her servants who had started the fight. Then Xenovia made a suggestion. “It might be interesting to test the strength of Rias Gremory's servants. Also, I’m interested in the strength of the so called senpai.”
Xenovia accepted Kiba’s challenge. She also added that this battle wouldn’t be reported to the Church. Apparently they understood our position a little bit, so they made it so that it wouldn’t be a problem if it was not a fight for life. The location was the place we practiced for the ball tournament near the old school building. To avoid unnecessary damage and getting noticed by others, Akeno-san put up a barrier for us. With this we could fight a bit more recklessly. And I was also participating in the battle…… Why? Is this the battle for the extra time after the quarrel? That’s absurd…… I was certainly pissed because they were talking shit about Asia. But I never thought that it would turn into a battle like this. I was actually going to stop when Buchou came in to stop me… It turned out like this because Kiba came into the argument……
“Even if it’s just a match, be cautious of the holy-swords!”
Buchou’s warning reached me. “Y…yes!”
I replied to her, but I was trembling because I remembered the video “The threat of the holy-swords collection” that we watched before the battle. It seemed like a record of battles between a person wielding a holy-sword and a high-class devil. The devil that was cut by the holy-sword had smoke coming out of the wounds made by the holy-sword. And did you know that the part where it was cut vanished? Just like the word means, it actually vanished. A devil would be eliminated if they were cut by a holy-sword. Their body will vanish. Scary. It’s really scary! I really don’t want to be cut by it! Kiba on the other hand had activated his Sacred gear and there were several demonic-swords around him. “……Are you laughing?”
Kiba was laughing so much that it looked weird. A smile that made the atmosphere cold. There wasn’t any trace of the refreshing smile he usually has. That much…… Do you hate the Excalibur that much……? “Yeah. The thing I wanted to defeat and destroy appeared right in front of me. I’m happy. Fufufu, I had even heard that by being close to a devil and a dragon, “powers” would gather. But for me to encounter it this early.”
Ddraig had said something similar as well. Lots of things will gather, being attracted to the power of a dragon. So this happened because of me………and Ddraig?
