Chapter 115: Going to Grigori one more time.

Each and every [Noble Phantasm] has a limit...

Even [Gandiva] was a [Noble Phantasm] who was sooner or later going to prove useless to Drako. Of course, it has a long way before Drako reaches to that point.

For now, Drako has already made use of his [Fate Points]. The two [Fate Skills] and the two [Noble Phantasm] he has obtained are to his satisfaction, so there's no problem with spending the four [Fate Points].

Now, it's time to start the morning [Senjutsu] training...

Or so Drako would like to say.

"Are you awake?"

Drako turned to face the little teenager who had just woken up. As usual, Valina also got up when the sun came up to start training.

"Good morning, Big Brother."

"Good morning to you too, Valina."

The young Lucifer slowly woke up as she sat on the bed. She crawled slowly to the end of the bed where Drako was, hugged him from behind and kissed him on the cheek. She then rose from the bed and began to remove her pyjamas, leaving Valina's body barely covered by her silver underwear. Valina then grabbed her usual clothes, she had several of them so that she could wear the same clothes every time, and put them on.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that Azazel wants to see you this morning," Valina told Drako when she finished dressing.

"Azazel? What does he want from me?"

"The girl you saved woke up last night, and she wants to talk to you."

The girl Drako saved the day before was Tobio's childhood friend, Sae Toujou.

Drako was curious about her since she had the same last name as Shirone/Koneko when she was part of Rias Gremory's peerage, so he thought maybe the girl had some relationship with the Nekoshou sisters. He inspected the girl when he rescued her, but couldn't find anything strange about her. Sae Toujou was nothing more than an ordinary human.

Drako lost all curiosity about her at that moment. And though she was beautiful, she was a female who already had a male, and Drako had values of her own.

"Oh, and Azazel also seemed to want to discuss a matter with you, though I'm not sure what it is."

"I see, now I'll go over and talk to him."

"I'm going to Grigori's facility now, will you come with me?"

Drako was going to reject her, as he did not want to waste a single morning of training, but the sparkle in Valina's eyes made it impossible to reject her.

"Sigh, it's okay. Are you going to go to training?"

"Yes. Azazel is busy today, so I'm going with Baraqiel. Raynare and Akeno are going to be with him today."

Raynare and Akeno, Drako hadn't seen either of the girls in a few days.

Raynare had been helping with all the trouble related to the Utsusemi at first, but had been removed by Azazel as he did not want the involvement of the fallen angels to be evident. Since then, she has remained in the underworld training with Baraqiel.

Akeno had not been involved from the beginning and had not left the underworld at any time. Of course, the little girl's help was completely unnecessary. Although she had improved greatly, she could barely use her father's trademark skill once or twice. Although she could easily fight the Utsusemi, her presence was completely unnecessary. And once again, Azazel wanted any presence of the fallen angels kept to a minimum, and it was not until the last moment that Grigori came out with "everything".

"I'm going to come with you, I want to stop by and see how the girls are doing in Grigori."

...….

Drako and Valina arrived at Grigori. It had taken a little longer since Drako couldn't leave without leaving Kuroka without breakfast. It would be a fatal mistake that he would regret very much if he made it.

They went directly to the area where Baraqiel used to train the two girls. The place consisted of an Olympic track, and in the middle of it were several targets. For the training Baraqiel did with the girls, this was more than enough.

They were training just as Drako had planned. Akeno and Raynare ran around the track while Baraqiel watched from the side.

As soon as they realized the arrival of Drako and Valina, Akeno and Raynare left their training and headed for the two of them. As much as Baraqiel did not want them to leave a training session in the middle, he could only resign himself, scratch his head, and join the group.

"Drako, Valina!"

Raynare greeted them as she approached them as--

"Drako!"

-Akeno threw herself directly into Drako's embrace.

Drako had become Akeno's hero after what happened six months ago, and she was virtually inseparable from him. Baraqiel could only take her to train in the mornings as Drako was busy with his [Senjutsu] training, but it was impossible in the afternoons when the dragon trained his archery.

Sigh...

When Drako trained his archery, Akeno became a kind of religious fanatic who watched his every move without looking away. Baraqiel was a little afraid of his daughter's dedication to the dragon.

Baraqiel was dense, but he wasn't stupid. He knew that his daughter had fallen in love with Drako.

It may sound stupid and cliché, but the story of a hero saving the princess in distress is not nonsense. It is even stronger when it is about a girl who is beginning to enter adolescence like Akeno, who has heard hundreds of hero stories since she was a little girl.

And Drako was the one who had occupied the hero figure in Akeno's eyes.

"It has been a long time, Akeno. How have you been these weeks?"

Drako hugged Akeno back and asked the girl as he stroked her head.

"I have been very lonely these weeks without seeing you and being able to play with Kuroka. Tell me, Drako, are you coming home soon?"

Drako smiled at the hopeful look on little Akeno's face. Right now he couldn't think that this Akeno was the same Akeno that appeared in Highschool DxD. It was true that her appearances were the same, but she did not have the mocking personality and sadism that she displayed in the series. He assumed that this was because she was still young, and so had not yet gone through the key moment of developing her personality.

"Yes, our work is done, and we will soon return. By the way, if nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow a new friend will come along, and you'll be able to play with her. She's about your age, so I think you can get along and become friends."

"Is anyone coming tomorrow?" asked Valina, who had been watching Drako and Akeno's interaction while talking to Raynare.

Drako nodded.

"Tomorrow Shirone, Kuroka's little sister, and her teacher, a good friend of mine, are coming."

"Shirone-chan is coming tomorrow? Yes!"

Akeno raised a fist up at Drako, surprised to see the girl's reaction.

Everyone present knew who Shirone and Mordred were. It was during the first meal that Shuri asked us about our lives before we arrived at Grigori, and everyone here but Valina had been present at that time. Of course, Valina knew about them as well. Six months of conversations went a long way, and sooner or later she was going to hear about Kuroka's "the cute little sister".

"You seem pleased to hear of their arrival."

Drako could not help but smile every time Akeno reacted nicely. Because that's what she was, a little cutie. If Valina can be described as a "cool beauty", Akeno can be described as a "cute beauty".

"My little girl has been wanting to meet Shirone for a long time."

Baraqiel had finally arrived with the group. He had said that, and was immediately imitating Drako by stroking her head. Akeno, on the other hand, was grimacing as she muttered, "Only Drako can stroke my head, but I can let it go if it's Dad who does it."

Although she was whispering quietly and believed that no one was listening to her, all those present were supernatural beings who had their senses amplified several times. Hearing a simple murmur from just a few feet away was no different than hearing a normal conversation.

They all smiled, and some held back their laughter, as they watched the reaction of little Akeno, even though Baraqiel was fixing a dangerous stare at Drako.

Baraqiel knew that Akeno already had Drako in her eyes and that it was very difficult to change that opinion of her. The problem was that Akeno was not the only one who seemed to have feelings for Drako, as the other two girls present seemed to be developing feelings for Drako as well.

Not to mention the Nekoshou named Kuroka!

She was the one who seemed to have the upper hand in the race to gain Drako's affections. Even if Shuri had told Baraqiel that Kuroka was still a virgin, the girl slept in the same room with Drako every day and accompanied him most of the time.

(Baraqiel still wondered where his wife had gotten the information but had decided not to ask after seeing the vicious gleam in Shuri's eyes.)

Baraqiel was almost certain that Kuroka would be Drako's future wife should he decide to go on a non-Harem route. So I know that if Akeno wanted to have any hope of romance with Drako, he had to take the harem route.

Luckily, he's a dragon, and there's not gonna be any problem.

"Wait, why am I thinking like this?"

"Is something wrong, Dad?"

The little Akeno looked curiously at her father, who had let his thoughts slip out of his mouth unconsciously.

"No, nothing."

To take the spotlight away, Baraqiel looked at Drako.

"Azazel wanted to see you, you know? He must be in the hospital since I heard that the boy of the blade dog has woken up."

Drako looked back at Baraqiel and nodded.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go see what he wants."

Drako was also curious. What did Azazel want from him now that the whole Utsusemi Agency problem was over?

He also wanted to stop by and see how Tobio was doing now that he'd woken up, and the Sae girl wanted to see him too according to Valina.

First the [Fate Points] and now Grigori, it looked like this morning was going to be a pretty full one.

"We didn't get to talk much, Raynare. I'll stop by later to help you with your training, especially the subject of your Sacred Gear and your flames."

Raynare shook her head, and gave Drako a beautiful smile.

"Don't worry, I know you're busy because of Azazel. Take your time, my problems are not urgent."

Chapter 116: Paying a visit to the hospital.

Though Raynare had a cheerful smile on her face and was completely sincere, there was something that bothered Drako.

Since that incident six months ago, Raynare had been acting strange. She was no longer the arrogant bitch that Drako had encountered upon his arrival at Grigori, but she had become more submissive. In some ways, this was not a bad thing, as she was supposed to have changed for the better.

But this was not so.

Raynare... she seemed to be repressing herself.

Her real personality was still there, a clear example of which was the confrontation she had with Samejima, but she seemed to be hiding from the rest of the world. When she was with Drako's group, Kuroka, etc., she would let go a little more and feel more at ease. But other than that, she even seemed afraid of the world.

What Drako thought was that she was afraid of herself. Kuroka had told him about what happened that day while he was fighting the devil, and he could more or less reconstruct the scene from Raynare's past.

Her uncle abused the powers Raynare had inherited, most likely behind everyone's back, and one day forced her into some kind of frenzy. The result had her accidentally kill her parents.

That's what Drako assumed had happened. The only people who knew what really happened that day were Raynare and her uncle, and now only Raynare knew since the latter was more than dead.

Drako had already asked Raynare about what happened a few months earlier, but the answer had been a...

"I'm not ready to talk about this, Drako. I promise I'll tell you about it in the future, but please don't ask me about it right now. When I feel up to it, I'll let you know."

Therefore, Drako had let this problem go for these six months. But now he was starting to worry.

Although Raynare had greatly improved her strength, successfully "evolving" into a four-winged fallen angel, Drako still hadn't received a [Fate Point] from her. This meant that Raynare would still be dying in four years when Azazel sent her to deal with Issei.

More than worried about that [Fate Point], which he obviously wanted to get, Drako was worried about Raynare. She was indeed a multi-faced bitch, who had an incorrigible temper, was arrogant with the weak and respectful of the strong. She indeed had many faults and few virtues. Yet, even so, Drako was unable to let her die so easily.

Raynare had become an important person to Drako. A close friend with whom he interacted virtually every day. She had entered the small group of people "loved" by Drako.

..............

A few days earlier, when Drako escalated to numerous levels after killing a horde from Utsusemi, a voice he had not heard in a long time resounded in his head.

"Kiddo, you seem to have improved a lot."

He was the old, "omnipotent" God, indirectly responsible for the reason Drako was in this parallel world.

"Yes..."

"You seem to be hesitating, are you not satisfied?"

"No, it's not that. It's just that..."

"What?"

"It's just not enough. Even after killing so much, I'm still far from my goal."

"Of course you're far from the target. Your ultimate enemy is the second most powerful being in the whole multiverse, it is normal to feel doubts when you are just starting your journey. But above all you have to be clear about something, that ultimate enemy does not work alone. That's why you can't do everything yourself, you need allies."

Drako knew that. Of course, he knew.

Why was there a choice to get Servants in the system the old man gave him? Wasn't it to get allies who could fight by his side?

Drako had to get his own minions to fight the enemy's minions. Drako had to face the final boss while the [Servants] faced the minor bosses.

Drako then took an oath, an oath he was to keep until the end of his days.

"I cannot protect everything. However, I will absolutely protect those loved ones within reach of my hands. If it is for the sake of that, I will kill everything."

...........

Raynare had entered that select group of people "loved" by Drako, and he was going to end it all. Even if it was the same will of the world, Ayala, that wanted Raynare to die so that someone else would grow more powerful. Even if it was the all-consuming [Chaos].

While thinking about what he could do with Raynare to change that future, Drako arrived at Grigori's hospital. The young dragon entered the building, and the first thing he saw was the receptionists.

This hospital didn't seem to be much different than the average hospital in the human world. Two middle-aged ladies were gossiping at the reception desk, which you usually find when you arrive at a hospital.

"Hello, good morning."

Drako approached the counter with the best smile he thought he could muster.

"Good morning, do you need anything?" One of the receptionists responded professionally.

As expected from experienced receptionists, they know how to act professionally when someone arrives at the counter.

Drako was slightly surprised to discover that both receptionists were human. He knew that many humans had joined the organization, but there were even human receptionists. Thinking about it from another angle, it would be a waste to have two fallen angels acting as receptionists.

"Yes, could you tell me which is Tobio Ikuse's room?"

"Sure." The receptionist nodded her head and started looking at the computer.

She looked up again when she found the information she was looking for.

"The room is number XXX on the third floor, but..."

Drako was already about to thank the lady when she spoke again.

"The Governor-General is also there at the moment, as he just arrived a few minutes ago. My advice is to come back later, as being near the Governor-General may be uncomfortable for you. And if you happen to offend him or something..."

The lady was worried about Drako. She was a human woman who had fallen in love with a low-level fallen angel and ended up living in Grigori. She had never met Azazel personally, but stories from the Bible and other things seemed to have given her a dark image of Azazel.

"I know Azazel is there, you don't have to worry. Still, thank you for your good intentions."

Drako said goodbye to the lady and made his way to Tobio's room.

When he arrived at the scene, he heard Azazel's voice.

"The true nature of <Jin>, it is one of the Sacred Gears we call Longinus {God-Slaying tools}. Its official name is Canis Lycaon {Dog God of the Black Blade}."

"Longinus..."

"There are only thirteen varieties, those for which it has been determined to have the ability capable of slaying God. That is what you possess, something that is theoretically capable of slaughtering even God."

The other voice belonged to Tobio, who had already woken up after the incidents of the previous day.

"Natsume��s and Samejima's Sacred Gears...are different?"

"Aah, they may look similar, but they are different. However, one of the abilities of 'Canis Lycaon' is that it calls together Sacred Gears of the same wavelength."

"...Then, the abilities of those two, Jin...no, I had unknowingly caused those abilities to be expressed?"

Drako assumed that Azazel had already been alerted to his arrival, so he decided to go straight in.

"You could say it was like that, Tobio. But don't get it wrong, they were born with that Sacred Gear. That they turned out to be students from your own school, that's probably your Sacred Gear's fault.

"Drako..."

Drako entered the room answering the question Azazel had asked Tobio. He nodded to Azazel in greeting mode, then turned his attention back to the newly awakened Tobio.

"It's like Drako says, it seems they were brought together by your ability. However, those who abused that, that was the group from the Utsusemi Agency."

"Since I possessed the blood of the Himejima from the beginning though… "

To Tobio who speaking as such with his head bowed, Azazel sighed while merely scratching the back of his head.

"Your ability, it's one of the powers capable of breaking the balance of the world. Naturally, you were a subject of strict monitoring. In such cases, to seal you and your ability, it would be a must to eliminate you. That's the extent of your ability. Moreover, since you had been born that way, that ability to break the balance of the world was strengthening. It would have been a natural result if you had been erased in infancy."

Azazel spoke while looking at the scenery visible through the window.

"...However, both of your parents and your grandmother, they chose to let you live. An act of this extent can be said to be quite immense. However, at that time, I happened to come to lay eyes upon you when you were very young. ...Ageha Ikuse it seems had, out of love for you, placed a seal upon the dog's power. I must say it was nothing if not magnificent."

"...As expected, you are...from that time?"

Before the eyes of Tobio who had inquired; thus, the man grew twelve black wings from his back.

When Tobio was a little boy, he was on a field trip with his grandmother and his neighbours, Sae and her parents. On that excursion, he encountered a fallen angel, although it was only for a few moments. That memory remained in Tobio's mind for a long time, and it was not until today that he had finally discovered the identity of that man.

The black angel——Azazel brushed Tobio's head with smiling bitterly.

"Yeah, in actuality, it was a major thing, boy of the dog. As for myself, I am what is called a fallen angel. A being that was exiled from heaven for embracing wickedness. ...It seems you're not gushing with emotion after hearing about angels."

Tobio shook his head from side to side.

"No, having seen Utsusemi, demons, magicians, and even a dragon, it wasn't surprising that there'd be angels.... It would be stranger if there weren't."

"There are numerous miraculous things in this world beyond your belief."

Azazel spoke completely straightforwardly.

"Our organization, we study Sacred Gears and also observe their owners. If we discover someone in possession of a powerful Sacred Gear, they become a target of observation. The reason we met when you were a young child, that was because there was a possibility that you were a Longinus possessor. Supposing, if one was the kind of person to abuse the Sacred Gear, even considering a case of just ability without your special characteristic, they would often be eliminated. All for the sake of preserving the balance of the world. Since for things such as wars, I must apologize twice."

Tobio as well enquired of his upfront honesty.

"It would appear that I must have been a target for extermination, right?"

Azazel abruptly laughed.

"Originally, that was the case. However, for two main reasons that decision faltered."

He raised two fingers.

"One was your individual ability. The case of one being naturally born with the prohibited condition to break the balance, to my knowledge, there are only a small number of such examples over the past thousand years. All of them, except for you had perished before we had become aware of them.... You had been raised in tranquillity for all these years despite such an ability. Though that does seem to be due to the protection of your relatives...it certainly was fascinating."

Azazel now held up one finger having already explained one of the reasons. While smiling bitterly...

"As for the other reason...well, Longinus possessors other than you entreated to us their desire to cease such methods of management. One of them was a student of mine. The other one was a magical girl sent by an old acquaintance of mine. To refuse those guys' request would have been something I'd regret for the rest of my life."

Azazel spoke while letting out a sigh.

"At the moment, we are observing the situation of all of the 'Four Fiends'. Well, currently, it's a good way for my underling to become accustomed to his power. To start with, we must assemble the remainder of the 'Four Fiends'."

The other Longinus that Azazel was talking about were obviously Lavinia and Valina.

At that moment, Tobio began to overflow with tears.

"...I...Sae...!! I wasn't able to rescue her...!!"

Of the events that had transpired in that outlook room, he recalled what had happened right before he chanted that spell. It had been seared into the back of his eyelids. Sae had embraced Jin who had a blade growing from his head. That blade of Jin's had pierced through her chest.

Tobio had been unable to rescue that cherished individual.

Tobio, who had woken up when Azazel was already inside his room, had not yet been informed of the current situation. He did not know the condition of any of his companions, so he was unaware of Kouki's serious condition and Sae's recovery.

With Tobio shedding nothing but tears, Azazel continued while scratching his cheek.

"Well, we gradually came to this conversation. Well, this is good enough."

Prompted by that voice, the door to the sickroom opened. Appearing from there was the figure of Sae sitting in a wheelchair.

Being at a loss for words at this incredible spectacle, Tobio was only able to mumble a single word.

"...Sae?"

Hearing Tobio's voice, Sae held her hands to her mouth.

"Tobio..."

Azazel informed Tobio who thought he must still be dreaming.

"When we managed to calm you down yesterday, Drako healed Sae's wound to the point of keeping it stable. We at Grigori only had to give her a slightly special treatment so that she would finish recovering and that no scars would remain on her body."

Azazel spoke up.

"...Regarding the care for the students of Ryoukou High School, they are presently undergoing treatment. After the Utsusemi have been removed, they are scheduled to be released along with their relatives. However, their memories of this current affair have been fabricated to a certain extent. Memories regarding them, regarding us...and regarding those fellows, it's all been taken care of. We will be strictly monitoring everyone from the agency, to the point that they would feel it would be better to just die."

Indeed, the relatives of their fellow classmates had been rescued from that hideout. Their fellow classmates...they were being hidden by the Grigori. It was good that they would lose their memories. With all the misfortune involved in these unfathomable events, it was better for ordinary people not to be aware of it. With only a little monitoring, they could continue living...that was always a good thing.

Azazel again added one more thing.

"...However, this child's memory was left as is. Since this child personally refused."

Tobio was speechless. Sae's memory of all that had happened in this incident, about Tobio being a supernatural power user, about she being utilized by the 'Utsusemi Agency', they had been left behind without being erased.

"Well then, see you later. Drako, can you follow me?"

Drako nodded and followed Azazel out of the room. Now it was time to leave Tobio and his childhood friend alone.

Once outside the room, Azazel led Drako through the building and up to the top floor. They remained silent the entire way, but it wasn't an uncomfortable silence.

On the top floor, there was only one room, which was the office of the head of the hospital. According to Azazel, he had already reported that he was going to use this room for a confidential meeting, so the head of the hospital, an eight-winged fallen angel, had left it at his disposal.

Once inside the office, Azazel sat down on top of the desk and confronted Drako.

"I want to thank you for your help with the whole conflict regarding the Utsusemi Agency."

"I owed you a favour, you don't have to thank me. Besides, I doubt very much you called me just to thank me."

Azazel smiled slightly at Drako's response.

"Of course, I'm here to deal with more serious issues. In fact, I'm here to make you a proposal."

Azazel's smile changed, becoming even more mysterious.

"Continue."

"Have you ever thought of forming your own organization?"
