บท 188: Peace is necessary
Issei was extremely nervous as he saw the meeting room for the three factions of the Kuoh Academy. A gorgeous and pompous-looking table and those people who were present. Moreover, he didn't expect to see so many influential individuals together in the same room.
On the devil's side, there was Sirzech, Serafall, and also Grayfia.
On the angel side, there was Michael, one of the Seraphs.
On the fallen angel side, there was Azazel and Vali.
Frankly, when Issei saw Azazel and Vali, he became nervous, but when he thought about what had happened previously, he became confident. Even though what had happened on the class visit made him furious and disappointed in himself, what had happened afterward had always been great.
The first thing was that he learned he had an underclassman. While this underclassman was cute, unfortunately, this cute underclassman was a guy. Nevertheless, even though he felt disappointed, it felt great to know he was better than the others. He had been feeling useless, so watching someone who was more useless than him put him at ease.
Even though Issei didn't say it out loud and didn't even realize that feeling, it was quite easy to realize it after one saw his expression.
Still, the matter of the underclassman, what happened afterward, made him confident as Michael-sama had given him Ascalon, the dragon slayer sword. He might not be a swordsman, but with this sword, he was confident to face Vali.
Moreover, Vali had only a single arm now, so he didn't feel fear toward him, especially when the White Dragon Emperor was supposed to be his fated opponent, the Red Dragon Emperor.
Still, Issei wondered why the arms of Azazel and Vali were okay, and they didn't seem like someone who lost one of their arms.
Yet, even if Azazel and Vali noticed Issei's gaze, they didn't gaze at him, ignoring him as they knew this guy was thinking something stupid.
Nevertheless, there was no doubt Azazel felt relief when Riser didn't join this meeting. However, he didn't realize the strangeness of Vali, who had been silent and glanced at Sirzech for a moment.
Sirzech also didn't care about this gaze, as he thought Vali was just curious about him. Moreover, with his actions previously that had saved Vali that day and with their plan, he knew that it was impossible for Vali to have a hostility toward him.
Still, the most important thing about this meeting was, without a doubt, Azazel's subordinate, Kokabiel, who had attacked Kuoh Town, but this wasn't all as Vali and Azazel also fought against Riser. Nevertheless, with their loss, Azazel had promised to give the devil's side about the result of his research and many other things, yet until now, he hadn't given them anything.
Sirzech aside, as he wasn't the one who was harmed by Azazel, Serafall pressed this matter further as she wished to get compensation for Riser.
In her mind, Riser had been fighting hard, and it was too pitiful if he didn't receive anything.
Still facing Serafall's bombardment, Azazel was bitter as no one knew that Riser had invaded the headquarters of Grigori that day and also conquered the Grigori.
Yet, even if this were the case, Azazel definitely wouldn't tell this to anyone as he didn't wish for his faction to be seen as weak. Even though he knew that his faction was the weakest and had been defeated by Riser alone, it was a different case when it came to the others, as they didn't know about it, and it was their fault if they were fooled by him.
Nevertheless, there was no doubt among them that Azazel had the most trouble, especially when his faction had been collecting many Sacred Gears, killing those who had Sacred Gears, and there was even the Longinus user, Vali.
There were also more Longinus users, but Azazel only planned to tell them when the peace was confirmed.
Still, Azazel knew what they wished for, so—
"I know. I know. I have made a lot of mistakes. I apologize, so how about this? Let's have a truce! The three of us! I will share all the knowledge that my faction has done and help you with many things."
Hearing those words, Michael stopped his complaint and nodded.
However, Serafall had enough of this bastard since Azazel had been a liar!
How many times did Azazel promise that he would share his knowledge?
Yet, did Azazel even share it?
There was no way for Serafall to believe him again, but she was stopped by Sirzech.
"Sirzech?"
"Serafall, everything is for peace."
"...."
Serafall looked at Sirzech with an exasperated gaze and helpless sigh while wondering what was wrong with his head. Yet, this was normal as Sirzech didn't tell her about his plan.
While Sirzech told Serafall and the other Maous about his plan to have peace with the angel and the fallen angel, he didn't tell anyone about his plan to create Issei, the holder of the Boosted Gear, as the hero who became a bridge to connect the three factions.
Nevertheless, while the leaders talked, the others had been listening, and they couldn't help but frown at Azazel since they knew this guy had been all talk, and they couldn't believe him.
Still, it was easy for Azazel to find the breakthroughs.
"Red Dragon Emperor, Issei Hyoudo, what do you think of the peace of the three factions?" Azazel suddenly asked.
"Ah? Eh?" Issei was confused and answered awkwardly. "Even if you ask me... I don't really understand." He was clueless about the problems between the three factions, and he also had never had any intention of learning them since he hated to study.
"Hmm... I guess it might be hard for you, so how about this? If I remember well, your dream is to have a harem, right? But do you know that if we have a war, you won't be able to have a harem, but if we have peace, then you will get a harem, so what do you think?"
"Peace! I want peace!"
As long as it was related to a harem, Issei would get excited and agree directly!
Still, due to this, while those who were familiar with Issei could only sigh helplessly, Sona's peerage members were frowning, but no one said anything as Sona had reminded them that this wasn't a place for them to talk. While it might be cruel, everyone was kind to Issei due to his potential as the holder of the "Boosted Gear." They didn't have such a thing, so it was impossible for the leaders to be kind to them.
The reality was this, so while it was cruel, they could only accept it. Still, even if they felt that Issei was lucky, when they thought about Issei's grain size, they felt better somehow.
However, due to this, everything had become a question-and-answer session.
Issei also asked about the matter of Asia, who was being kicked out of the church, as he couldn't accept such a thing.
Facing such an idiotic and perverted boy, Michael easily talked about the difficulty of the church, especially after God had passed away. With his aura, charisma, sadness, and struggle that he showed on his face, everyone was affected and understood the difficulty of the heaven side.
Even Issei also sighed, feeling sorry for Michael.
Whether it was Xenovia or Asia, they could accept it, especially Xenovia, as she found out that being a devil was great.
Still, about Durandal, Michael gave it to Xenovia as compensation for their treatment toward her as he believed that Xenovia, who was already part of the peerage of Sona, Serafall's little sister, could be entrusted and believed.
It was also the same in the original as in the original Xenovia was part of Rias' peerage.
If Xenovia was a part of others' peerage, it would have been impossible for Michael to entrust Durandal. Moreover, Sona's husband was Riser Phenex, the supernova in the Underworld and the world of devils that had defeated Kokabiel, Vali, Azazel, and Tannin. Giving Durandal to Xenovia and gaining their favor was a good trade, he thought.
Moreover, Gabriel also told him that she also wished for the peace of the three factions, so Michael also worked hard on this.
Yet, even if Gabriel didn't say anything, Michael would do so as he knew this was necessary for the future of Angel.
Nevertheless, everything was smooth until the world suddenly stood still, as if the time had stopped.
At that moment, Sirzech, Azazel, and Michael knew that their plan had started.
