Is that even something you can call a Vampire?”
Elmenhilde also puts on a face filled with disgust. “It truly is disgusting. They are trying to change them into some other creature that has the trait of Vampires using the Holy Grail after all. Those from Carmilla faction that have come into this country are about to start the plan together with the Tepes faction’s government to defeat the anti-faction group.”
So they are already in a phase where they are about to suppress down the coup d’état. Gasper who has found out the truth all of a sudden……is shivering his small body and has a gloomy face. “……Umm, what will happen if Valerie has her Holy Grail extracted from her……?”
“—She will die. They were already planning to extract the Holy Grail from her once it had made some growth and when their research had advanced. If the possessor dies, the Longinus will move onto the next host. In order to stop that from happening, they can extract the Sacred Gear from her and have it with them and use it without being concerned about having it disappear.”
Gasper breaks down on the floor after having Sensei tell him the truth. “……N-No it can’t be, because Marius-san promised me that he would release her……and that he’ll allow her to go to Japan…… Were all of those things lies……?”
Rias embraces Gasper who has so many tears falling down from his eyes gently. “You sure don’t find a despicable person like that so often. —I can only feel disgusted by him.”
Rias’s irises are filled with so much rage that it’s dangerous. “Yes, as I thought, we need to save Valerie before the so-called release—”
Right before I was about to spit out my determination, a bright light shines from the window which even reaches inside the room. It’s not morning. There’s still time till the sun rises. We look out the window to check outside immediately. —There is a huge wall of light that is covering the castle! Is this……the light for a magic-circle? Sensei clicks his tongue after seeing that. “……So they made the first move! Most likely, the Carmilla faction’s move is already caught by them. They are planning to start the ritual to extract the Holy Grail at this time! This……has quite a lot of their own marks, but there’s no doubt it’s the mark which shows up when you try to take out the Longinus from the possessor!”
Damn it! So that bastard Marius has made his move already! If we don’t hurry, we won’t make it in time to save Valerie! Elmenhilde then stands at the centre of the magic-circle that Bennia created which is connected to outside the castle. “I will make my move together with my comrades from the outside. So all of you need to escape here immediately.”
Sensei then makes a sigh at Elmenhilde’s words. “Are you still trying to avoid our intrusion in this matter even under this situation? There are also terrorists among the enemies. There’s no doubt that the Evil Dragons will appear, you know?”
Even under this situation, Elmenhilde makes a strong smile. “Yes, the Vampires will solve the problem of Vampires—”
Elmenhilde closes her eyes after saying it till there. “……That’s what I would like to say, but our Queen Carmilla has approved your help.”
She says that in a way as if dissatisfied about it. I don’t think we are in a situation where she has the leisure to approve of us or not……but they must have their own opinions and style. Though I feel like telling them that’s nonsense. Elmenhilde then looks at Gasper. “Gasper Vladi, do you wish to retrieve the Holy Grail, and Valerie Tepes?”
“Of course!”
Gasper answers like that without any pause. Elmenhilde makes a single nod upon hearing that. “Very well. If Gasper Vladi wishes to go, then I will approve all of you to go with him. I will entrust all of you to guard him and aid him. Initially, our plan was to stop Valerie Tepes’s action by using Gasper Vladi anyway.”
That’s such an arrogant way to say it! This girl is even saying things like that under this situation……! “Then farewell. I may be causing trouble for you, but please connect me outside.”
Elmenhilde asks Bennia to start the teleport magic-circle once again. “That’s unexpected coming from you to leave this to us, you know?”
She said many things I want to argue back against, but she left the duty of retrieving Valerie without making much complaints. That’s why I asked since I became curious. “I do acknowledge all of your strength.”
She makes a sarcastic smile, then from the magic-circle—she falls down. “Kyaaaaaah—”
I can hear her scream from the magic-circle…… Bennia then sticks her tongue out. 《The place I connected her to is the ceiling of some other house.》
……Oh my, so that girl is falling down again huh……
Gasper then makes a declaration with eyes filled with strong determination. “—I’ll save her. I want to save Valerie! Everyone! Please! Please lend me all of your strength!”
—! ……You sure have a manly face. I then smile at my junior. “Of course. That’s why we came here! Let’s go save Valerie!”
Xenovia also smiles fearlessly by carrying her Durandal. “I’ll lend you my hand. You are my junior. So rely on your seniors. If it’s a power battle, then I’ll demonstrate it as much as you want, you know?”
Kiba continues after her. “Then it seems like I need to do a technique battle. Just how much I can test my strength against the enhanced pureblood Vampires. As a Knight of Gremory, I sure would like to join this battle.”
Irina and Asia also take a step forward. “Yeah, helping the first year makes us the second year students! I’m going to give a punishment to the bad Vampires as a representative of the Heaven!”
“Yes! I’ll do my best as well! I-If the time comes, I will call out pa, I mean Fafnir-san!”
Koneko-chan smiles while holding Gasper’s hand. “……A friend of my friend is also my friend. Gya-kun, I will help too.”
Akeno-san then hugs Gasper gently. “Ufufu, I will also help you.”
Then our master, Rias Gremory, declares it to Gasper very strongly! “Let’s go, Gasper. The Gremory group, the Occult Research Club, does not neglect a club member who is in need of help!”
Gasper is about to burst into tears at how everyone is willing to fight for him but he endures it. “Ise-senpai, Buchou, Koneko-chan, everyone…… Yes! I will do my best!”
Bennia and Rugal-san also say this. 《We’ll help as well. Right, brother Rugal?》
“……Yeah. Fulfilling Sona-dono’s order is what makes us the Sitri-group.”
While we are raising our spirits, Sensei and Rossweisse-san are talking a bit away from us. “It sure is nice, to be a youngster that is. Right, Rossweisse-sensei?”
“But I am young as well. Well, I will be using my magic till I am satisfied.”
Since everyone has the same opinion, I lift my fist up-high. “Alright, let’s move out together with the Occult Research Club and the two new members of the student council! Let’s show it to them, the strength of how we break through obstacles like the firepower idiots we are called!”
[Yeah!] The Devils of the Kuou academy then head out!
