Capítulo 26: Holy Maiden's Family
Daniele pov
I'm currently in the ruined area of Kuoh Academy and I can't move while looking at the leaved Vali's back.
As for why I can't move, three beautiful girls are leaning on me, or rather one is lying on me, one is on my shoulder, the other is on my lap.....how do I get up?
"Are you ok "
I turned my head, trying not to move they body, to look at the incoming voice and saw Rias Gremory looking at me with a slightly amused look.
Issei, who had come to his senses in the background, muttered something like 'explode riajuu' but I chose to ignore it directly.
"I think I'm fine except for not being able to move"
Asia's familiar, Raiel, rubbed up against Asia and looked at me, making roaring sounds.
"Roww, rowllllll, roarrr"
".....I have no idea what you're saying"
[He told you that he was going to go and rest and that he wanted you to take good care of Asia]
Raiel nodded his head and disappeared in the air with a green magic circle appearing directly below him.
"Was that a Sprite Dragon"
"Hmm, that's Asia's familiar"
"This.....really impressive"
"Of course My Asia is great"
[My Asia huh]
The sarcastic voice I heard in my head made me flinch.
< This is a tongue slip >
[it's definitely like that, partner, it's definitely like that ]
My partner's sarcastic voice in my head made my eyebrows twitch.
"Umm, can you get up?"
Rias asked in a strange tone.
"No.....but I think I'll improvise"
When Rias bowed her head in surprise, I quickly got to work.
"Bester!!!"
A black lion appeared from the shadows next to me
"Did you get the Excalibur pieces?"
"Gowl!!"
With Bester nodding his head up and down I can start my plan.
"Bester, can you send us this way?"
"Gowll???"
"I'm asking directly, without breaking this stance, can you do it?"
Bester made what could only be described as a confused expression, then nodded harshly.
Shadows began to rise from the ground and surround me
"See you later Rias!!!"
"A-ah yes"
Bester couldn't take us directly to the church, so we appeared in nearby places and then teleported with the shadows again.
This continued until we reached the church
Finally I reappeared on the familiar bed in the church
But Bester was lying in the corner, his eyes swirling.
Well, there's no doubt we're pushing the limits of his abilities.
I'll buy him a steak when he wakes up
I lean back slowly and carefully with the girls getting leaning on me
Xenovia and Irina wiggled a little and Asia wiggled and pushed herself a little further, but I finally did it!
When I finally lay down on the bed, there were soft bodies hugging me and a setting sun.
......I slept too
----------------------------------------
When I opened my eyes, I saw that the girls were already awake but they did not say anything and just stood blankly.
Asia was the first to break
"D-daniele-san, God is really dead?"
Emerald green eyes looked directly at me but tears were ready to fall at any moment
Lying was also an option here, but I had already decided that they would deal with it directly.
"It seems so"
At that moment, Asia couldn't stop herself anymore and jumped on me and started crying loudly.
"Uwaaaaa!!"
When the other two girls next to me started to silently shed tears, I sighed and opened both my arms.
As if they understood the meaning, both girls carried their head on my shoulders and began to cry.
------------------------------------------
The girls' eyes were red and we were currently having the breakfast I prepared.
While slowly eating breakfast, Xenovia spoke up.
"So what are we going to do, are we going to tell the church about this?"
"No "
I quickly protested.
I have no intention of letting it go the same way as Canon.
"W-why?"
Asia barely spoke
"Needless to say this is the highest secret of the church, we would probably be excommunicated.I don't really plan on leaving the church. "
"Same way "
"Definitely "
Xenovia and Irina responded respectively. Then the three of us returned to Asia
What worried me the most was Asia, she didn't have such great memories in church
"I... I didn't have such good memories in the church .But! Daniele-san and the others have smiles on their faces whenever they talk about the church and the people they met there ----I want to meet them too!!!"
She shouted with a red face as she said the last part.
Irina and Xenovia quickly approached either side of Asia and hugged her.
"I can't wait to introduce you there, Asia-chan!!!"
"Let's get Dulio to buy sweets together, Asia."
"Hai!!!"
She said with little tears in her eyes
"So what do we do then Dany?"
Xenovia asked me while still hugging Asia
"We'll just say that we've completed the mission. It's best to tell Griselda directly about the god's death and talk to her."
The two girls and Asia, who did not fully understand the situation, nodded in agreement.
"Then let's continue with breakfast."
When the girls nodded, Xenovia turned to me
"Ahhhhh~~~"
I felt my eyebrows twitch
"How long will I do this?"
"Owww! my arm hurts so bad!!!"
"You don't even use your left hand while eating!!"
....Xenovia reached over with her right arm and held her left arm as if to prevent it from getting hurt any further, preventing her from moving.
"Ahhhh!!, My arm hurts so much!!"
This girl seriously
"Okay, okay, here you go"
I stuck my fork into one of the Cherry Tomatoes and offered it to Xenovia.
Xenovia took the whole fork head into her mouth, then pulled it back, chewed a little, and then swallowed.
Then she licked her lips and looked at me
"...Delicious"
I unconsciously averted my eyes
I swear this girl is doing this on purpose!!!!
As we was about to leave after breakfast, I was faced with an unexpected request.
Was Kiba kneeling in front of me?????????
"What are you doing "
"Thank you for freeing my friends, I will swing my sword for you whenever you need it.I couldn't help Buchou in the engagement, but this time I will do my best to help both him and you."
Ohhh a knight's oath...wait
"Haven't she already gotten rid of her engagement, why are you worrying?"
"Well, the engagement only broke off because Riser decided to back out. Even if Issei-kun tried his best, we still couldn't do anything. I won't let something like this happen again!!!"
Okay~~~ damn!!
Events seem to have developed unexpectedly
Now that we think about it, it's not strange that Issei lost without the cross and holy water.
.... you know fuck it , besides engagement is still broken off . Rias will probably be Issei's simp again, so there's no point in that. What could change the most? Ha-hahahhahaha
Why did I shiver?
"*sigh* aren't you someone else's knight? Isn't this treason?"
"Don't worry, I have approval "
Redhead busty came towards me smiling
"You let a knight swear allegiance to an exorcist. An exorcist who put an end to a devil pillar?"
"Yes"
She said with a smile
"I...Do you know, never mind, I give up "
"Well it's time for us to leave"
As I was turning around, someone suddenly grabbed the corner of my clothes and pulled me.
*sigh* Why can't I go!!!!!
I turned around and didn't I see anyone this time?
When I look left and right there is still no one
When I felt the tug I looked down and saw a white haired loli
"Did you have a request?"
"My hairpin .Where"
What am I supposed to say here?
'Ohhh~~ that's what you say, I sent it to the future owner of Longinus to create a super weapon against your race !!!'
Yes, the best way to draw a faster target for myself would be to kill Rias here.
"I.....don't I know"
"I lost it in church the night we fought"
"I burned all the dead bodies in the church, so they probably disappeared at that time too."
"I understand "
She bowed her head and fell into depression, But honestly I don't have any regrets.
"Don't worry Koneko-chan, we will find similar hair clips or even better!!"
"Thank you Issei-senpai"
"Then, unless there's nothing else like 'again', we'll go."
They waved after us and we set off towards the airport.
The damn flight lasted like 14 hours. The only consolation is that we sat in the VIP seats by the back door of the church... they are very comfortable.
----------------------------------------
When we finally arrived at the church once again, we walked through the door.
As we walked inside, we nodded to the exorcists passing by, but why are they looking at us strangely?
When he frowned, we finally arrived in front of the main hall and I knocked on the door.
*Knock!* Knock*Knock!*
"Come in"
We entered with the voice and Griselda, sitting at the desk, greeted us.
"How did the mission g------"
Griselda interrupted her sentence and viewed us carefully, raising one eyebrow.
"Okay, what are you hiding?"
Even I stiffened.
"We are not hiding anything"
She didn't say a word to my words and just pointed her finger behind me
When I turned around, I could only stare blankly at the scene in front of me.
While Xenovia was trembling, her eyes were looking left and right, not focusing on anything in particular.
Irina was playing with her hair, normally this wouldn't be suspicious, but she had her entire ponytail wrapped around her hand!!!!
"Seriously, girls, if you had written that we are suspicious, you would have been less suspicious!"
At my exasperated tone both girls looked away
"I'm still waiting for an explanation "
At that moment, when everyone turned to Griselda, I could feel their eyes on my back. In this case, I have to be a man!!!
"Are we sure this room is not bugged?"
Griselda blinked her eyes, then grasped the cross around her neck , she muttered something quietly, and suddenly a golden dome appeared, covering the entire room.
"Yes"
I took a deep breath and met Griselda's sharp gaze.
"Xenovia will tell you what happened"
I said looking away.....Don't blame me, this is Griselda
"Dany!!!"
I sincerely ignored Xenovia's yelling and looked at how interesting the ceiling was.
"Xenovia"
Xenovia stiffened and began to sweat when she heard her guardian's voice.
"Irina will tell you!!!"
"What!!!!"
Xenovia throws the ball directly to Irina
The poor girl couldn't even speak when she felt Griselda's eyes on her.
"Well.....it's....like this"
"U-umm we learned about the God' s death"
At that moment, Asia suddenly raised her hand and said:
"""Asia/-chan!!!!!""""
I gave Asia a big hug and the other two girls hugged her .Our savior angel!!!!!
"Awawawa.."
Making shy noises...heh cute
"So you.....*sigh* I understand "
Griselda rubbed her hand a little across the bridge of her nose.
"Are we going to be excommunicated?"
Irina said as she fidgeted nervously after we stopped hugging Asia.
I feel nervous too
"Do you want to stop being an exorcist?"
We shook our heads in rejection.
"Then no problem, I'll take care of the rest"
We all sat on the floor with relief, damn I was more nervous than I thought wasn't I?
"We'll deal with this later, but before that, Asia Argento "
When her name was spoken, Asia quickly stood up and looked at Griselda.
"What will you do next, do you want to continue being the Holy Maiden?"
Asia squirmed a little and then took a deep breath.
"I-I want to be an exorcist"
She--what!!!!!
Not only me, but xenovia and Irina were looking at her confused.
Griselda narrowed her eyes and stood up, coming over to Asia and letting her gaze meet hers.
"Do you understand the meaning of this? If you are an exorcist, you have to 'kill,' and out of your own fear you can cost the lives of those who team up with you."
"I-I even if so... Xenovia-san and Irina-san told me their past stories on the plane. Despite many dangers, they also saw and experienced many things .I want to experience their experiences in the world."
While Griselda and Asia continue to stare each other in front of us
Griselda finally sighed.
"We'll deal with this later, but first we'll resolve your specific situation."
"My special case"
Griselda turned to me as Asia gave me a confused look.
"Didn't you say "
"I wanted it to be a surprise"
I replied with a shrug and Griselda let out another sigh.
"Many people in the Church still fear that you are a traitor because it is an indisputable fact that you healed a Devil."
Asia bowed her head in sadness
"But! This isn't hard to solve. "
"S-So how do we solve it?"
Griselda gave a smile to Asia's question
"You can go in"
Following Griselda's words, a 'giant' entered the door
---------------------------------------
third person pov
While the girls were making surprised faces when Vasco entered the room
"Ah!! I remember you!!!"
Vasco chuckled as Asia clapped her hands together said
"That's right, I once visited the church where you worked, I'm Vasco. Vasco Strada.I'm sorry I couldn't help you in time."
"No no, there was nothing you could do "
Asia was panicking and trying to prevent the old man from bowing down.
Vasco smiled at the young girl and handed her the documents he brought with him.
Asia took the documents and blinked.
"Th-this is the adoption certificate!!"
"This is true "
Griselda, who had been watching the incident, finally spoke again.
"People in the church think badly of you and are worried that you might betray.In this case, the best solution would be for Majesty Vasco to adopt you, so we can get through this with the respect and popularity people have for him."
"B-but this"
"Of course, I understand if you don't want an old man like me as a relative, I dedicated my life to my faith and my lord that's why I couldn't make my own family but I consider Daniele, Xenovia, Irina and Dulio my grandchildren .I would also like to have a new grandchild, so Asia, can you be my 'family'?
Vasco said holding out his hand
'Family!!'
Asia felt something warm fill her heart with this word. She was an orphan and never had a family but was it possible now?
She unconsciously looked at Irina and Xenovia, both girls were smiling at her
Asia then looked at her savior, Daniele felt her gaze and nodded with a smile.
.....She will have a family
Water?? Asia didn't understand, what was this water dripping on the papers?
"*sob* I....I want *sob* "
Vasco smiled and gave Asia a big hug.
"U-Uwaaaaaa...!!!"
Asia finally couldn't stand it and started crying. Xenovia and Irina also smiled slightly and shed a light tear.
-------------------------------------------
After a few more minutes Asia and Vasco were now talking
"So how did Dany treat you, Asia? I hope he didn't cause you any trouble. "
"N-no Daniele-san helped me a lot"
"Well, he is one of my best students after all"
Vasco said while patting Daniele's shoulder and Daniele couldn't help but give a sarcastic smile.
'This old man went into 'grandfather' mode very quickly'
"He even hugged me and let me sleep with him when I was scared at night."
Suddenly the whole room seemed to stop
""Dany""
Xenovia and Irina's voices made Daniele tense, but the real problem was Vasco's arm tightening around his shoulder.
"So how many times has this happened Asia-chan?"
Irina asked, hugging Asia's shoulders from behind, and Griselda was stifling her laughter in the corner, making a face she wouldn't normally make.
"Ummm two? No no three!!!!!"
Vasco looked at Daniele with a bright smile as Asia forced herself to remember.
"Okay, you and I, let's do some training, Dany."
Vasco said as he dragged Daniele from behind
"What the hell !! You started playing favorites real quick, old man !!"
"What are you talking about Dany, I just want to see how far my dear disciple has .Also, as Asia's new grandfather, I will not accept anyone who does not meet my requirements!!!"
"What does this have to do with the topic!!"
Daniele clenched his teeth.
"Damn, I won't die alone!!!"
A magic circle was opened accompanied by sound
----------------------------------------------
<When this is over, give me a punishment, Dany.>
<Then I'll tell Griselda to double your training >
---------------------------------------
Xenovia's expression turned cold as she felt Griselda's eyes on her and she shouted at Daniele.
"Did you record this in the middle of the war!!!!"
"Muhahaha, I won't fall alone!!!"
"Alright Xenovia, let's get started"
The girl with long blue hair was breaking into a cold sweat as Griselda gripped Xenovia's shoulder.
While Irina was trying to sneak away, Griselda's other arm grabbed her shoulder.
"You are coming too"
"Why!!!!!"
"You are Xenovia's partner, it is unacceptable for you to be left behind."
Griselda also dragged the two girls by their necks to the training field
Watching these, Asia couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Her 'family' was seriously amazing
