Utsusemi Agency, four Sacred Gears of the highest level and a Longinus.
Looks like Azazel's favour is gonna be well paid.
"And what is this organization that supports the exiles? What is their level of power? What exactly do I have to do?"
That's my question. I have to have as much information as possible to be able to complete this mission successfully, without failure and without casualties.
"I don't think I'm the best person to tell you about that group." It says Azazel.
He then takes his phone and dials a number.
"We are waiting for you."
"I'm coming."
A female voice, very sweet, responds to Azazel.
Not long after, she arrived.
Opening the door, a strange-looking blonde girl enters Azazel's office. Also, the reason she looked strange was that she was dressed in a cape and a pointy hat. Although she looked strange, she was dressed like a witches' cosplay.
I found myself surprisingly fascinated by her elegant appearance and her beautiful figure. She was young, not older than Kuroka.
Another reason I am surprised is that I recognize her. I recognize her and the cold aura she unconsciously exudes.
She is one of the porters of one of the 13 Longinus. More specifically, she is the bearer of Absolute Demise.
Demise Girl and Ice Princess are the nicknames for which she is known. Her power in the future is immense, being able to face numerous Grim Reapers of the highest level without any problem. She also awakens her Balance Breaker at some point in the future, and this one has the name of Absolute Demise: Assoluto Argento Mondo.
Anyway, she is a fascinating girl. Both her potential and her looks (as expected from DxD) are at the top.
"She is Lavinia, and one of your allies. She has been sent here by Grauzauberer because some Stray magicians have joined the Utsusemi Agency. Also, there is another group of magicians who are supporting them from the shadows..."
"Wizards of Oz"
The first time Lavinia speaks is to interrupt Azazel. She lets out the name of the organization, which draws my attention, with obvious complex emotions.
"That's right, a group called Wizards of Oz is supporting the agency. We don't know what their objective really is, but you can't let your guard down with them."
Wizards of Oz, what an interesting name. I guess they based their name on the famous children's story.
"And the other group? The one you're not sure about."
Azazel looks down momentarily because of my question.
"Abyss Team... I think Satanael has his hands in all this."
"I see... that complicates things quite a bit."
Azazel nodded.
"But you don't have to worry about that right now. You just have to go and deliver three eggs, and then support Lavinia and these other three guys in dealing with the agency problem. Valina is going to be supporting you, and in case Satanael himself shows up I will act or Baraqiel. "
"Sigh..." Okay. But I'm curious, why only three eggs? Aren't there five people involved?"
"Yes, but unfortunately two of them have already been captured by the enemy. There is no trace of them in the whole country, or in the neighbouring countries. One day they were at home, and the next day they disappeared with their families. There is no doubt that they have already been captured."
I see.
"What's the point of the agency? What do they want with these Sacred Gears?"
I think this is my last question.
"You know that the 5 Clans of Japan have as their main force the 5 sacred beasts that were given by the Shinto gods. The four Sacred Gears the agency seeks are called The Four Fiends, which are the counterpart of the five sacred beasts. The agency's goal is to bring down the clans with the help of these Sacred Gears."
I nodded.
"Okay, that's it. When do I start working?"
"Whenever you want. Take this before you go."
Azazel takes out a folder and hands it to me.
I open it and find three papers. Each one has the profile of three students from the same school.
I recognize one of the three names.
The user of one of the 13 Longinus. The only one of the 13 who is considered a god, albeit a false one.
Inugami of the Black Blade.
Canis Lycaon.
Ikuse Tobio, better known as SlashDog.
This mission is very interesting, very interesting.
If I can make contact with Tobio, it would bring the number of Longinus holders I have known since my arrival in Grigori to three. Besides, I have met Akeno, the heiress of Grigori's most powerful attack, and Raynare, the heiress of the most powerful fire and a person who is going to affect a lot the future developments of DxD.
In a way, I think Tiamat's decision to send me here is practically the best one he could have made.
On the other hand, Mordred has already made contact with the Pendragon brothers and has already rescued Valerie, the user of another Longinus. According to her, Arthur Pendragon was going to buy the nearest flight from Romania to Japan. But there has been one problem, and that is that Romania has declared a state of high alert and has closed all its borders. Probably the Tepes family, or even Rizevim, have something to do with this.
If Rizevim is in charge of all this, I think Mordred might have a problem. Although he is not as strong as Sirzechs Lucifer in his true form or Ajuka Beelzebub with his Kankara Formula, he is still a SuperDevil with a demonic power superior to the original Maous.
That's why I've ordered him to act carefully. If travelling by plane is dangerous, then she only has to create a teleportation circle. This is going to take much longer, obviously, which is why I don't expect her to arrive for another week or so.
For now, let's get on with the mission.
The first name of the three belongs to a girl.
Natsume Minagawa.
"Come on, Raynare, we have work to do."
"Yes!"
I got up, and Raynare followed me. Before I left, I turned and headed for the other girl in the room. Raynare hadn't spoken at all this time, but the other girl had only said two words.
"Are you coming with us, Lavinia?"
Lavinia seemed to hesitate a bit but ended up nodding her head.
Raynare, Lavinia and I left Azazel's office, not before he gave me three strange eggs.
At first glance, these looked like simple white rounded objects. But my impression of them changed the moment I laid my hands on them.
The eggs had their own heartbeat.
Did these eggs contain Sacred Gears?
Of course, they didn't.
The eggs were nothing more than a catalyst for Sacred Gears, similar to the bracelet Azazel gave to Hyoudou Issei. While the bracelet allowed Issei to use his Balance Breaker for a short period, the eggs help awaken a special kind of Sacred Gears.
Independent Avatar Type Sacred Gears.
The most powerful of this type of Sacred Gears are none other than three of the Longinus, of which at least two are involved this time.
Canis Lycaon.
Absolute Demise.
Incinerate Anthem.
Following these three, the next Independent Avatar Type Sacred Gears are the so-called Four Fiends.
These creatures are better known as "four evil creatures of the world" and come from Chinese mythology. Ironically, their souls enclosed in Sacred Gears manifest in the bodies of Japanese people.
Tāotiè represents Greed and Gluttony.
Qiongqi represents Deviousness
Táowù represents Ignorance.
Húndù represents Chaos.
I could go on long enough about these four beasts, but I honestly think it's unnecessary and irrelevant. The only important thing is that these beasts were killed in the past and their souls were sealed in these four Sacred Gears.
Our goal is to deliver the three eggs to the three people that Azazel has indicated to us, and wait for them to awaken their respective Sacred Gears. As long as they do not awaken their Sacred Gears, we have to protect them from this Utsusemi Agency.
I don't know why the agency is called that, and neither does Azazel. The only thing we know about them is that some exiled members of the Japanese clans, but that's all we know so far.
As former members of Japanese clans, they should have knowledge in the Japanese exorcism system. Even if that's the case, they shouldn't have a higher level than those who visited Baraqiel's house six months ago.
"Well, how do we do this?" I asked the two girls.
"What do you mean?" Raynare asks.
"There are three people we have to deliver an egg to, and there are three of us designated to carry out this task. I propose that we each take one of the students involved."
This is an idea that just came to my mind.
Why focus the three of us on one person when we can divide and act simultaneously?
"It's okay with me, Dra-kun."
Huh?
Did Lavinia just call me Dra-kun?
I'm stunned as I look at Lavinia, and she seems to have noticed. Her face has blushed a little, and she's avoiding my gaze.
"I like to give my friends nicknames, I hope you don't mind."
"It's okay, I don't mind at all. And you, Raynare, do you agree or not?"
Raynare shrugs.
"I think whatever decision Drako makes is the right one. Azazel has appointed you as a leader for a reason."
Headset seat. Having the support of my companions makes my job much easier.
"Come on, we have work to do."
---------------------------------------
Ryoukuu City, Japan.
Tobio Ikuse used to be a student at the Ryoukuu High School. Of course, this was all before the accident happened. Now, he's a student at a different school.
His parents died at a young age, and he was left in his grandmother's care. But she died recently, leaving the boy alone. The only person left in his life was his childhood friend, Sae Toujou.
But that only friend died/disappeared in the well-known accident.
Now, Tobio is coming home from school.
How do I know that?
Because I'm following him.
It's not that I'm a stalker or anything, it's just that when I was going to introduce myself to Tobio, I came across something very interesting.
Tobio seemed to have found something that had caused him a sudden shock, although I don't know what it could be.
There was a group of people who had attracted Tobio's attention, and he had run away, chasing them like a madman.
He gave chase, reaching the front of the building under construction. It was a scene for the construction of a condominium. The entrance to the construction site was strangely open, making it easy to gain entrance.
Tobio, confirming that no one was looking, stepped into the site. He proceeded to enter the site, filled with steel and wood.
Since the light from the electric lamps wasn't meant to reach here, and because of it was starting to get dark, visibility was very poor inside. Tobio turned on the mobile phone's backlight and continued walking while on its light.
It was when he was coming around the corner. Someone was standing there——.
That was one of the people in the group, and it seemed that Tobio knew him because...
"...Sasaki?"
Gingerly, Tobio called out.
Despite being called, Sasaki continued defiantly walking towards the back. ....He began to feel worried about what was up ahead. ...He began to wonder if the individual was conscious or even human.
"Sasaki...what're you doing?"
Again, Tobio called out. Then the boy turned to face him. As his body turned back, the backlight that had been shining on his back now lit up his eyes.
"——!"
Tobio let out an inarticulate sound and shrank back.
From behind him...something huge was chewing on something. The something noticed him and began coming towards him. ...It was a creature resembling a giant lizard. The mouth of the creature was painted with blood. The tongue emerged with a slurping sound as it stared at him curiously. The boy standing nearby was certainly Sasaki. It must be Sasaki. Tobio was convinced.
At that moment, something rolled over. Shining his light at it, there was the amputated head of a dog lying there.
There were deep scars on the head. The skin around the eyeball on one side had been scraped away.
"Hii!"
Tobio released a small scream, wincing at the sight.
The lizard begins munching on the dog. ...The sound of the chewing he heard earlier must have been...the sound chewing on the rest of the dog!
