So they must have wanted to prepare a counter measure against Balance Breakers immediately. That’s why I taught them things related to such situations and also promised them about deployments from the Grigori’s side. Looks like this place also has the same troubles as the Devil’s side.”
So he promised his help to them huh. Seriously, Sensei sure is quick at moving when things get involved with Sacred Gears. Xenovia makes a bitter smile. “I knew that Azazel-sensei has a soft spot.”
Sensei scratches his head. “……I want to retrieve as much information related to the Sacred Gears as I can. Under this situation where all these sorts of things which are impossible to predict are happening here, the most valuable thing during such times is information. Especially all these Balance Breaker bargain sales that are happening are something you couldn’t even imagine in the past. Anything will become valuable information.”
The way to reach Balance Breaker found by Cao Cao and the Hero faction—. So it has affected even a place this far. Well, it’s natural for people that want to test it to appear in a world where there is discrimination between pure-bloods and others if such information gets passed among the lower class folks. On top of that, this society of Vampires has never sought for cooperation from other factions till now. So they ended up facing the threats of Balance Breakers that had been occurring internally by themselves. If a Sacred Gear possessor that is a half-blood Vampire who is capable of using Balance Breaker is to come to the human world with bad intentions…… No, such people may have already hidden themselves within the towns of the human world…… But there’s no point in thinking about such things now. “The Holy Grail—what disappoints me the most is that I couldn’t meet Valerie. ……I could have come up with a counter measure if I was able to check her even a bit……”
Sensei looks like he’s regretting it. Seems like the meeting between Sensei and Valerie wasn’t permitted. They probably don’t want to have someone who has rich knowledge about Sacred Gears checking the Holy Grail out. I then ask another question I have doubts about. “The Underworld……what is Sirzechs-sama planning to do regarding this incident? Sensei, you have already reported this to him, right?”
The son of the previous Lucifer that had helped the coup d’état faction of the Vampire Tepes’s side. –Rizevim’s existence must be something the Underworld cannot ignore. Especially inside the mind of Sirzechs-sama who uses the same name as him……
Sensei speaks while closing his eyes. “……I reported to him about Rizevim just in case, but I still haven’t received any reply from the higher-ups of the Devils. What will happen if you add Rizevim to the situation when they were already in confusion due to Euclid being alive? It’s pretty much guaranteed that the situation over there is chaotic. So Sirzechs won’t be able to move even a muscle since he needs to come up with a counter measure. That’s how special the name “Lucifer” is. Especially now……since Rizevim who is the son of the previous Lucifer made his appearance. So it won’t be weird for the previous government supporters who have been hiding at the far end of the Underworld to take action.”
……Everyone became dead quiet at Sensei’s words. Just how special a Lucifer is—. That’s also something I know despite my short time being a Devil . ……For the supporters of the previous government to come back once that old man makes his move again. Just what would happen to the Underworld……? Just recently, the current Devils including Sairaorg-san went to the trouble of taking down the Old-Maou faction that has been going wild while the Hero faction caused chaos……
—It means that there are those that find your so-called peace as a pain. What Vali said to me back at the time when we fought the Evil-God Loki comes back to my memory. …...As long as I find it a peace, it means that there is someone out there who is finding it a pain……
—! A sudden mysterious sensation strikes us who had just been having a discussion. A feeling where this room became enveloped by a certain barrier—. It’s not a nasty feeling. That’s because I can feel a familiar aura. —Then a magic-circle belonging to the Sitri shows up on the ceiling and someone sticks their head out from it upside down. —It’s the Grim Reaper girl Bennia! 《Hello. It took quite some time to connect this place with the outside, but I’m glad we were able to manage it.》
Bennia who went to the market from the Gondola station without anyone knowing. She finally shows up. I couldn’t meet her at the castle town after all. Well, that’s natural, since we had people keep their eyes on us. So the reason why she put the barrier on this room is so she can come here directly huh. Is this the escape route Rias spoke of? ……It hasn’t been noticed by the people in this castle, right……? While we are doing this, something falls down from the magic-circle on the ceiling. There is a cute scream which went “Kyaa” belonging to a girl along with the sound of something crashing onto the floor. When I look, I witness Elmenhilde who failed in landing patting her hip. The one who comes falling down next is the huge man Rugal, but in his case, he landed perfectly. Lastly, Bennia flies down from the ceiling. Seeing our faces which look like we had just seen something weird, Elmehilde stands up right away after noticing us and changes her attitude with a cough. “How do you do, all of you? I’m glad all of you are doing fine.”
She greets us with a high attitude……but I’m frustrated since I thought she was a bit cute for failing to jump down properly! “Elmenhilde, so you sneaked into this country.”
Elmenhilde makes a single nod to Rias’s words. “Of course. I met Bennia-san who is standing over there when the agents and I were deciding on which route to take to come to this castle. —There is something I need to report.”
She changes her attitude and tells this to us with a serious face. “—We received information that Marius Tepes’s faction is going to take action by moving onto the final phase of using the Holy Grail very shortly.”
—! Gasper’s face changes after hearing that. Moving to the final phase……? “The final phase……no, it can’t be.”
Elmenhilde says this at Sensei’s words. “They are planning to take the Holy Grail out from Valerie Tepes in order to take complete control of this country. By increasing the power of the Holy Grail, they are trying to activate their plan of reconstructing the whole civilian population living in the castle town.”
……So they made their move after all……! To extract the Holy Grail! And they are planning to take complete control of this country on top of that? And by reconstructing all of the civilians! Sensei narrows his eyes by putting his hand on his chin. “I already predicted the Holy Grail……but they are planning to change the civilians into Vampires that have no weaknesses?
