I don’t think this area was trespassed because of a traitor……”
It seems like Kaichou is thinking hard while putting on a serious face. ……Well, if they trespassed from the Gremory territory of the Underworld, then that will mean that the Gremory allowed the trespass of the culprits and it seems like the situation will become more complicated. We gather in front of the elevator. Kaichou says while looking at all of us. “The staff of the Underworld and Heaven have surrounded the area around this station. We also have closed the dimensional gap for the train located in the Gremory territory of the Underworld. We still haven’t found out the true intentions of the enemy and what they are planning……but what’s left is for us to meet them in person.”
So it means the preparations are set. The enemies are already caught like a rat in a bag. I don’t know what they are planning to do, but we have closed their escape route. ……No, they are people who can trespass into this area, so they may have prepared an alternate escape route…… But if they are waiting for us, it means they aren’t thinking that much about escaping. Either way, my objective is to retrieve our abducted juniors! “Who will be taking leadership of the Gremory group?”
Xenovia asks. Then Kaichou fixes her glasses. “That won’t be a problem. Due to the emergency, I will be taking leadership of both the Student Council and the Occult Research Club. Rias also has left the command to me.”
――! Sona-kaichou will be taking leadership! Oh, somehow, I feel that I have a strong support now! “You may feel confused with your [King] being absent, but all of you will obey my command, yes?”
[Yes!] We, the Gremory group, answer her at the same time! Of course! If it’s Sona-kaichou, then we don’t have any problems! Kaichou asks Xenovia. “First, Xenovia-san. Out of the seven abilities of your holy-sword, how many of them can you use?”
“I don’t have problem with Destruction. Thanks to the training, I can also use Mimic, Transparency, and Rapidly. But, I'm not at a level where I have mastered using them. Using Nightmare and Blessing will be hard since they have bad compatibility with me in terms of their abilities. Ruler which is the hardest difficulty to use is even harder. I can’t rule others at all.”
“This time, there will be restrictions to our battle since we will be fighting underground. The influence of severe destruction will collapse the building and land subsidence. We have to avoid doing our strong and flashy attacks. ……The situation is different, but it's similar to the game of Sitri VS Gremory. We have to avoid causing destruction as much as possible. So please refrain from causing unnecessary impact as much as possible. If it is needed, I will give the order.”
Yeah, it’s just as Kaichou said. We can’t cause that underground station to be destroyed. So it means we can’t do excessively powerful attacks. It certainly is like that match against Sitri. After that Kaichou asks the condition of us, the Gremory group. It seems like she will be planning some improvised tactics. ―But, there is one thing that has been in my mind. There is one unfamiliar man with large build standing at the Sitri’s side. He is a foreign man. He has grey hair where his fringe is long, and his eyes are hidden. But he kinda has a handsome face. He is really strongly built. It’s about the same as Sairaorg-san. I ask Shinra-senpai timidly. “U-Umm, who is that huge man standing there……?”
“Oh, this person is a student enrolled in the college department of Kuou academy, and he is Sitri’s new [Rook].”
Sitri’s [Rook]!? Seriously, a new servant!? I got shocked since I found out about it so suddenly! On top of that he is a person from the college section of Kuou academy! So there is a person with such a good build. Hmm, there are so many things I’m not aware of! The man says it in few words with a boorish response. “……Call me Loup Garou.”
He mutters like that. Shinra-senpai continues. “We call him Rugal-san. So please call him the same as well, Hyoudou-kun. Rugal-san, we will leave the backup of the outside area to you for this one.”
“……Yeah.”
The person called Rugal leaves this area after that. ……I-I see, so he will be taking care of the outside in this case. That is also a proper task. There may be enemy reinforcement coming from the outside. 《Master, it seems like the preparations for the surrounding area have been completed.》
I hear an unfamiliar voice! When we, the Gremory group, look around finding for the person whom the voice belongs to, we stop our sight at the ceiling of the station! Sitri’s magic-circle appears on the ceiling of the station, and a head appears from there upside down! And that person is—
A small built person wearing a skull mask dressed like a Grim Reaper! Hey, that clothing, that’s definitely a Grim Reaper! “G-Grim Reaper!”
When I shout while pointing at the ceiling, Kaichou says it. “This one is my new [Knight]—.”
《……My name is Bennia. ……I’m a former Grim Reaper.》
A small built Grim Reaper falls down from the ceiling, and lands on the ground perfectly! At the same time Grim Reaper-san takes the mask off! And the face of a girl that seems to be in junior high school appears! A cute girl with sleepy eyes! She has long dark purple hair and golden eyes. And the symbol of a Grim Reaper in her hand, the scythe, has cute looking decorations on it! A loli! A loli Grim Reaper holding a scythe!? “G-Grim Reaaaaper~!? And it’s a giiiiiirl!? Kaichou nods to me, who is currently in shock. “Yes, Bennia is a Grim Reaper. Even though I said that, she is a Demigod. Half Grim Reaper and half human.”
“She says that she is the daughter of one of the Ultimate-level Grim Reaper, Orcus. Shocking, right?”
Saji adds an extra bit of information. ……E-Even if you suddenly say that, I don’t get it! “……I did hear you have someone in mind for [Knight] and [Rook], but a Grim Reaper……”
Rossweisse-san also stares in wonder at the appearance of the small built girl Grim Reaper. Yup, I’m also in shock. Who would ever think that Sitri’s new [Knight] would end up being a Grim Reaper! Shinra-senpai shakes her head to the side. “No, we had someone else in mind for our [Knight]. But, we couldn’t arrange for a meeting with that person. And then she appeared and—”
《I’m changing sides because I can’t follow Hades-sama’s way of doing things anymore. Will you consider making me your servant?》
—She came negotiating it like that. It seemed that for a moment Kaichou thought she might be a spy from Hades’s side, but Kaichou tilted her head thinking there wouldn't be such a daring spy like her. “I had so much suspicion towards her, but I decided to trust her because of one fact.”
I ask Kaichou. “O-One fact……?”
Then the loli Grim Reaper pushes an autograph paper toward me. 《Boss Oppai Dragon. I’m a big fan of yours, Boss. Look, I have so many embroideries of Oppai Dragon behind my cape. Can I ask you to give me one of your signatures?
