Chapter 135 - Irina: I'm So Hungry
"Okay, I'll go back to inform Sona," Rias nodded.
If Kokabiel's target really is her and Sona, then both are in a very dangerous situation right now.
She herself is usually with Mahiro, so of course, there is no problem.
After all, the Red Dragon Emperor has a certain degree of confidence in dealing with a Fallen Angel cadre recorded in the Bible.
"However, what to do with these two Holy Sword wielders? I always feel that if they are left alone, it may cause trouble," Rias said, stroking her forehead.
Originally, she had no intention of getting involved with the Excaliburs, but the lid of the pot had already covered her head, and Kuoh Town was also her territory.
It's just that the hostility between these two Holy Sword wielders is too strong. Whether they are enemies or friends remains unclear.
"Let's observe them first," Mahiro suggested. "To be honest, don't you think it's strange? To deal with someone like Kokabiel, it's not surprising if the church dispatched a whole army of exorcists, but now it has sent two Holy Sword wielders."
"Indeed, it's like sending them to their deaths," Rias nodded.
Kokabiel is someone who survived the cruel Great War. Even if the high-level members of the church make a move, they might not be Kokabiel's opponent.
However, the church has only sent two Holy Sword wielders, which is simply incredible.
"Holy Sword wielders are definitely precious assets in the church. It is not easy to train one. How could the church send just two people to deal with Kokabiel?" Yuuto frowned; he had the most insight about Holy Sword wielders.
"Mahiro-kun, don't you know?" Akeno asked curiously.
"Maybe I have a little guess," Mahiro nodded and said.
"The church may have asked these two Holy Sword wielders to cooperate with you."
"What?" Rias widened her eyes in surprise.
"Two Holy Sword wielders have no chance of winning against an old guy like Kokabiel, but if you add two High-Class Devils and their peerages, the odds of winning will undoubtedly increase," Mahiro explained.
The Holy Sword wielders have the strength to fight against High-Class, and Rias and Sona have at least four High-Class servants combined, plus the rest of their peerages.
Although the odds of winning against Kokabiel are still not particularly great, they are not without the power to resist.
"That's a good point..." Rias frowned.
"However, why would the church choose to cooperate with us Devils?"
The church and Devils are irreconcilable; let alone cooperation, it's rare if they don't shout for purification upon meeting.
"Before, when I took a leave of absence, I got a little news by chance," Mahiro paused, then said.
"Maybe Devils will have peace talks with Angels. This time, the Holy Sword wielders are here—maybe they're just a bridge to buffer the relationship between the two."
Kokabiel was completely run out from the Fallen Angels' side and used as a villain boss to give favor and experience to the other two factions.
Otherwise, he did so many things, and yet the Angels didn't dispatch anyone, which is really strange.
"Devils and Angels having peace talks?" Not only Rias, but also the others were shocked.
"Is it possible?"
"If it's true, it's too incredible."
The hatred that has lasted for thousands of years—the mortal enemies actually want to talk about peace?
"It's just rumor; you don't have to take it too seriously," Mahiro waved his hand.
"Even if you say so... This kind of news should not be groundless," Rias thought for a while and then said suddenly, "I heard from my brother before..."
"President, that means it might be true?" Koneko also had an inexplicable expression.
"It's impossible to say for sure, but it's very likely to be true," Rias connected all the clues given by Mahiro and found that they all made sense.
"Mahiro-kun, will Devils really negotiate with Angels?"
Asia, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but speak after hearing Mahiro's words.
"Don't worry, it's highly probable. Maybe the relationship between Devils and Angels will be closer in the future," Mahiro said with a smile.
"That's great!" Asia couldn't help saying happily.
As for Devils, she had long since changed the concepts instilled in her by the church.
If Devils can negotiate with Angels, the two will no longer be enemies... Even after Mahiro's comfort, the hurtful words of Irina and Xenovia yesterday were still remembered by Asia.
"However, now we have to take a look at the two Holy Sword wielders. After all, they are the key to bringing out Kokabiel," Mahiro said, intending to follow along to see Irina and Xenovia. The two things that made Asia sad, he did not forget.
"I'll go take a look with you," Rias agreed.
***
After leaving Kuoh Academy, Irina and Xenovia walked aimlessly on the street.
"I'm so hungry, Xenovia. Are we going to eat now? I haven't eaten for almost a day," holding the boxy object in one hand, Irina rubbed her stomach and said in a sullen voice.
"Have a meal?" Xenovia snorted coldly and angrily pointed at the square object in Irina's hand. "If you hadn't spent our money to buy this so-called saint painting, would we be hungry now?"
"What are you talking about? This painting shows a holy saint!" After being accused, Irina suddenly shouted in dissatisfaction, tearing off the cloth strip on the square object to reveal its true face.
It was a portrait.
"Look, how splendid the portrait of this saint is. As a believer, how could I ignore such a portrait!" Irina looked at the portrait and said admiringly.
"Only an idiot like you would take this kind of counterfeit painting seriously. I shouldn't have entrusted the funds to you for safekeeping!" Xenovia stroked her forehead helplessly.
"Don't say I'm a fool; even if I were, I would be angry," Irina puffed her cheeks and stared at Xenovia in dissatisfaction.
"Forget it; it doesn't make any sense to argue with you now," Xenovia sighed.
"We should think about how to fill our stomachs; otherwise, there's no way we'll be able to deal with Kokabiel in this state."
