Chapter 135 - Interlude+Date

??????

 

Under the sun, lights suddenly started to rain down.

 

On closer inspection, it could be seen that these were spears of light.

 

*Booom*boom*bommm*booom*bomm*

 

Numerous explosions swallowed the following targets!

 

At that moment, numerous mages, devils, and even evil dragons appeared from the attacking area, but the first 3/1 part, unable to withstand the sudden assault, quickly collapsed.

 

As if proudly proclaiming their ownership of the attack, winged figures descended from the sky; even the one with the fewest wings had six wings, their halos shining proudly above their heads.

 

"Angels! How did they find us?!"

 

"Who cares, resist!"

 

*Roar!!*

 

Even though the reactions varied, the only thing they could do was to retaliate as best they could.

 

As the Evil Dragon, emitting a dark aura, leaped into the sky, the attacked Angel showed not the slightest fear.

 

The body into which the Evil Dragon had sunk its fangs disintegrated as if it were a mirage.

 

And his eyes widened in astonishment...a dragon, only its mouth the same size as his, had swallowed him!

 

However, these events only occurred in the Dragon's mind.

 

Through the combined use of Light and Holy Power, evil dragon's mind had decided that he was dead.

 

Jophiel, who was responsible for this, calmly appeared in the air.

 

The entire battlefield was shrouded in illusions, meaning most enemy attacks were in vain.

 

A little further away, three angels were encircled by chains of light around the dragon's claws, one of its wings, and its jaws.

 

The fourth came swiftly and, with a single stroke of his golden sword, cut off his defenseless neck.

 

Sariel, her hair flowing in the wind behind her, was attacking the Devils.

 

The black and gold scythe in her hand was swung with immense skill.

 

Its area of expertise, , was active both along the scythe and within a certain radius of her body.

 

Even incoming attacks were quickly cleansed and eliminated, let alone defending against it.

 

"Allow me to cleanse you of your sins~"

 

She said it in a tone that indicated she was enjoying it very much.

 

At that moment, a completely magical dome formed.

 

The dome, containing countless formulas, included not only magic but also the life force of the magicians.

 

A Seraph, also known as Raziel, appeared.

 

As he pushed his glasses up, an Angel Magic Circle appeared right in front of his eyes.

 

Raziel's area of expertise was similar to Remiel's, but also different: he didn't have special eyes, but he possessed a formidable operating system.

 

Even the smallest event that happens right before his eyes is quickly recorded and analyzed in his mind.

 

Even if, by some chance, Heaven's library were to be destroyed one day, it wouldn't actually be a problem, because all the information was already in Raziel's possession!

 

The dome had already been analyzed by Raziel, its weakest point had been reached, and with a simple stroke of a hand knife, the dome was shattered into pieces.

 

One of Magicians fell to her knees.

 

"T-this...This must be a night---"

 

Before she could finish her sentence, suddenly, a Holy lightning bolt struck her right on the head!

 

Raguel, his hand crackling with lightning, descended upon the battlefield.

 

His gaze reflected the coolness of a general.

 

"Siege"

 

With that single word from his mouth, the other angels launched relentless attacks with organized assaults. 

 

At that moment, no one was left alive.

 

"So, where do we go now, O my brother?"

 

Another angel with twelve wings, dressed in knight's armor, spoke.

 

Metatron's twin brother, Sandalphon!

 

"Now we're going to Austria, the next hiding places are south of there."

 

Raziel pushed up his glasses.

 

"Oh, while we're at it, let's check out the kangaroos too!"

 

Jophiel said with joy

 

"Yes, yes, I want to see them too!"

 

Sariel said it in a similar way.

 

Raguel stroked his chin.

 

"Let's get the cleaning done first, then we'll take a look when we get back."

 

""""Hooray!"""

 

 -------------------

 

Third person pov

 

The ceremony for the Brave Saints was decided to be held in a kind of 'extra' section of Heaven.

 

This also made it more 'appropriate' for family members to enter Heaven, as the halos, Heaven's newest invention, allowed them to enter without being kicked out by the System

 

Of course, precautions were also taken against the possibility of misuse; if an enemy were to try to bring them in...hehe, let's just say they wouldn't be able to get out.

 

Michael looked at the four figures standing before him with a warm smile; they were the most powerful of the Ten-Winged (Cadre-Class) Angels and the Brave Saints' first non-Seraph users.

 

Two of them are Reincarnated Angels and two are Pure-Blooded Angels.

 

Michael then called out to them

 

"Hamariel, Dulio Gesualdo, Chamuel, Daniele 'Abe' Berti.You four will be the first Brave Saints users of the Third Generation, and you should understand what that means, and also be an example to those who come after you."

 

His voice wasn't specifically directed at them; even he not shouting, it was enough for everyone to hear.

 

"You were chosen not only because of your power, but also because of your devotion to Heaven, the Church, and your humility, charity, chastity, gratitude, temperance, patience, and diligence attitudes, so do not hesitate, do not think you are wrong, you undoubtedly deserve it."

 

All four of them joined hands in a ceremonial prayer position.

 

Michael nodded and continued

 

"As you can see, there are 4 variations of Brave Saints: Spades (♠), Hearts (♥), Diamonds (♦), and Clubs (♣), Since there are four of you, it was decided that each of you would choose one it....."

 

As Michael finished speaking, deck cases with four different symbols around them were spun.

 

".....who's go first"

 

Michael asked sincerely

 

Chamuel and Hamariel exchanged a moment's glance before stepping back.

 

"It's best to prioritize the new generation."

 

Hamariel said, pushing his glasses up.

 

"I agree with Hamariel, please go ahead young ones."

 

Unlike Hamariel, he moved his glasses from the side, not the middle.

 

Dulio chuckled at this and patted Daniele 's shoulder.

 

"Then let's continue on the same path, our youngest will go first."

 

Daniele was about to smile at Dulio, but his next words caused a vein to throb in his forehead.

 

"Besides, if something bad happens, it will happen to you first, and then we'll find out."

 

Dulio gave a thumbs-up and looked at his so-called older brother.

 

".....I'm seriously going to punch you, believe it or not. "

 

"Well... I can still beat you."

 

Dulio's confident expression caused Daniele to grumble.

 

The worst part was... he was right. When Dulio got serious, he was a real monster; it was as if all of nature had turned against him.

 

Daniele was still willing to try.

 

'We'll deal with this later.'

 

Daniele stepped forward after convincing himself.

 

"It looks like you're going first, Dany."

 

Daniele nodded in agreement with Michael's words.

 

"So what should I do? "

 

Daniele didn't know how it worked.

 

Michael nodded and pointed to the giant diamond cross, sparkling like crystal.

 

Daniele took a deep breath and approached the cross.

 

Daniele felt a heartbeat the moment he placed his hand there.

 

The Brave Saints system was connected to the Heaven system, Daniele, as , was of course connected, but now a connection has been formed not only as, but also as a

 

The biggest difference between Evil Pieces and Brave Saints was essentially this: a person's Peerage could only function within that Peerage, whereas Brave Saints was different.

 

For example, a [Ace of ♦] could form combinations with another ♦ team.

 

Heaven, where there was no concept of nobility or superiority, was essentially one big team and family.

 

The radiance emanating from the cross also enveloped Daniele, as if to congratulate him.

 

Daniele couldn't help but savor the warm sensation; it was like stepping into lukewarm water.

 

As the light finally faded, Michael continued.

 

"Now we've come to the final step...choose one, Daniele. The cases are empty right now, but the one you choose will recognize and register you"

 

Daniele was silent for a moment over his words, and considered which option to choose.

 

He is essentially the , so logically it would be correct to continue with ♥....but he didn't want that, actually, in such a situation, he had already had a few thoughts

 

So...

 

The moment Daniele perceived the choice in his mind, the cross flashed, lights shot out from it and settled on the case in the air—yes, those were his cards!

 

As the case slipped into his hand, the symbol on it indicated Daniele's choice.

 

♦!

 

"Haha!"

 

At that moment, Daniele thought he heard a laugh from the crowd, which he believed belonged to Uriel.

 

Gabriel was pout from a place he wasn't looking.

 

Daniele's reason for specifically choosing the Diamonds was actually simple... Regulus Nemea also had a purple diamond.

 

Yes, that's all; after all, things don't have to be complicated, sometimes even simple interest is enough to make a choice.

 

Daniele currently has this shape, Regulus has a diamond shape, so let's choose diamond, it's that simple.

 

As Daniele took his deck, he knelt once more before the cross and prayed.

 

His movements were skillful and precise.

 

As he got up, Dulio arrived right after him.

 

With their hands down, they quickly gave each other a high five.

 

Dulio repeated the process, walking forward with a smile.

 

But he went straight out of the loop.

 

Like Daniele, he didn't want to deal with [Joker of Spades] and [King of Spades]... So the Clubs!

 

♣!

 

The lights in the air filled the case and it fell out of his hand.

 

Smiling, he walked over to Daniele, playfully shaking the case in his hand.

 

Although Daniele grumbled, his smile betrayed his feelings.

 

Daniele was happy for him, just as Dulio was happy for him.

 

Chamuel left right after the two of them.

 

His choice was ♠.

 

Of the last remaining options, ♥, naturally went to Hamariel.

 

As the ritual came to an end, of course, only one thing remained.

 

""""Cheers!!!!"""

 

Celebrations!!!!

 

Suddenly, tables filled with delicious dishes from all kinds and regions appeared.

 

It reminded Daniele of an adaptation of a familiar book.

 

"...like Harry Potter"

 

Hearing Akemi murmur, he turned and looked at her, raising one eyebrow.

 

Akemi simply shrugged.

 

Daniele nodded too.

 

They fist-bumped.

 

*Slap!*

 

Daniele froze.

 

Her hands went to his hips.

 

He stared at her with him mouth wide open.

 

Akemi simply winked with a cheeky smile.

 

[Come on princess, your boyfriend is waiting for you]

 

 

......

 

Everyone was enjoying the food while Carmello and Aki hugged their son tightly.

 

Carmello ruffled his hair while Aki pinched his cheek.

 

"Stop! Stop! II'I die of shame!"

 

Daniele screamed in embarrassment, his face flushed red.

 

This brought him a lot of laughter from those around him.

 

"Hehe~ don't run away! I have to congratulate my son on his promotion!"

 

"By killing your son out of shame!?"

 

Although Daniele instinctively shouted in response to Aki's words, those watching carefully would see that he wasn't really intending to run away, after all, his family had fairly ordinary physical strength.

 

Lavinia was smiling as she took the picture with her camera.

 

"Send these to me too, Lavinia."

 

Dulio said, grinning.

 

"Are they always like this?"

 

Hamariel asked Gabriel, who was standing next to him

 

Gabriel nodded with a bright smile.

 

"Yes, isn't it a lot of fun!"

 

"Well... after all, the guy who made our sister fall in love with him couldn't be just any ordinary guy."

 

Chamuel said in a playful tone

 

Gabriel blushed quickly, but there was a bright smile on her face.

 

"Yes, my Joker is unique~"

 

"Hmph! Of course, in the end,If he upsets Gabriel, we'll make him pay for it!"

 

Uriel crossed his arms.

 

"He's stronger than you right now, isn't-de gozaru"

 

When Metatron said this, Uriel look like eaten a lemon.

 

The fun was in full swing.

 

"By the way... have they checked the cards for the Extra Joker Candidates?"

 

The air froze at Raphael's question.

 

""I don't have any""

 

Hamariel and Chamuel spoke at the same time.

 

Daniele and Dulio exchanged glances.

 

........

 

Daniele was looking at a stack of ornate white-gold cards placed face down in front of him.

 

"...what bad luck~"

 

When he heard Dulio's complaint in the background, fire flashed in his eyes.

 

'I'm definitely going to get one!!!'

 

While his damn 'so-called' brother is touring the world and loafing around, he's always struggling with nonsense, never to mentioning the mockery... now it's time for victory and revenge!

 

'Come on, heart of the cards!'

 

[Seriously?]

 

 

[But are you sure 'the heart of the cards' will be enough, hmm?]

 

<... you're right!>

 

[?]

 

While Regulus was taken aback, Daniele sprang into action.

 

Suddenly, a flag of light appeared behind him.

 

It was certain card frame features a metallic gold plate with a swirly ornate vine-like design.

 

'Legend World!'

 

Then he ran his hand through on hair, creating luminous strands and bangs resembling nails: two strands on one side, three on the other, and a small strand in the middle.

 

'Yu-boys hair!'

 

Finally, he placed his index and thumb fingers together on top of the deck.

 

[No Wixoss or Battle Spirits?]

 

 

'Check the trigger!'

 

After saying this, Daniele grabbed the top card of the deck and released it horizontally!

 

And there was a decorated card adorned with the letter 'J'.

 

After a moment of silence, Daniele finally made the most sensible move.

 

He grabbed the card and posed.

 

'I got a trigger!'

 

"Gowl!"

 

"Kree!"

 

Bester and Laos made noises from either side of his shoulders.

 

Yes, that's Ash's pose for getting his badge!

 

"Ohhh~"

 

Asia applauded in a happy tone.

 

Daniele remained silent while everyone stared at him

 

[...Should you be ashamed?]

 

 

"So this Extra Joker Candidate card, huh?"

 

Lavinia looked at it over his shoulder as she hugged him from behind.

 

"So, do you have an idea for person, Darling?"

 

Irina asked as she approached.

 

Joker cards were essentially the Mutation Pieces equivalent, meaning they were definitely important.

 

Daniele shook his head and refused.

 

"I don't have an idea for the Joker, but actually I already have someone for my first card."

 

"Ah, I wonder..."

 

Xenovia raised her voice as if she understood.

 

Daniele smiled, kiss her cheek, and took out his phone.

 

He posted something on [Angel.Net] and put it back in his pocket.

 

"Lord Michael, may I choose a card again~"

 

Dulio, on the other hand, had different opinions.

 

"This is inappropriate, Dulio!"

 

Mirana took action to scold him.

 

"Woah, Mirana is such a bully ♪"

 

Dulio pouted and put his hands behind the head.

 

They continued the celebrations while everyone laughed at their expense.

 

On the other hand, Ophis gave Daniele a thumbs-up.

 

"You're welcome."

...........

 

Kuoh

 

Hyoudou Residence

Training Field

 

*Swish!*Clang*

 

A strange crashing sound, mixed with a metallic tone, was rising.

 

Kiba was brandishing his sword, wearing battle-appropriate trousers and a black top.

 

His rival was none other than the King herself!

 

Rias held a strangely shaped sword forged from the Power of Destruction.

 

Their swords clashed as they came face to face.

 

Kiba's sword was noticeably beginning to wear down and crumble.

 

But Gremory was not at all surprised; he swung the sword he had created in his other hand and sent Rias's sword flying.

 

Rias quickly spread her wings and flew back.

 

Kiba certainly wouldn't let her escape; his greatest asset, his speed, proved itself at that moment.

 

But the moment he came before Rias, something resembling a bear trap was instantly created within it using the Power of Destruction.

 

Kiba continuously forged swords from the ground to counter the encircling bear trap.

 

Even though the swords are broken, thankfully they are not completely destroyed because they were specifically created with the property.

 

Kiba, standing before her, swung his two swords against the spear of destruction that Rias had thrust into him.

 

Both sides retreated after the collision; Kiba took 3 steps back while Rias took 7 steps back.

 

Rias had to drop the spear as her hands trembled.

 

"*sigh* I lost."

 

Rias spoke with a sullen expression, while Kiba looked at her with a helpless smile, their swords collapsing as if they could no longer withstand the strain.

 

"If you're sad, I should go and cry, Buchou. Even though you're a newcomer, I still can't be careless."

 

That's right, Rias was training in combat with Kiba.

 

[Extinguished Crystallization](Ruin Princess's Jewelry Box)

 

Ever since Rias created this Demonic Power skill, she had begun training in both close combat and weapons, even training with Koneko, Kiba, and even Issei a few times, which of course reflected in her peerage.

 

At the moment, Gremory Peerages seemed to be in a training frenzy.

 

Koneko, along with the lessons she began to receive from her older sister, wrestled with Bova, and both of them were rapidly growing stronger.

 

Lilitifa was studying the ancient Vepar family records and making significant progress in mastering her Trait.

 

Yukihiko was training in the Kuoh Jr. side, and even Rias was interested in her little development.

 

Akeno worked with her father, and sometimes she would go to the Himejima region to see Suzaku (Akemi).

 

As for Gasper and Issei...they were handed over to Azazel.

 

"Buchou, Kiba!"

 

At that moment, a small, unassuming figure approached them.

 

Tosca, also known as the sole 'survivor' of the Holy Sword Project.

 

Her braided hair swayed with each step, and her blue eyes held a smile, admiration, and a touch of panic.

 

Kiba's eyes quickly filled with compassion the moment he saw her like that.

 

"Let me help, Tosca"

 

Kiba was noticeably fond of Tosca, and Rias noticed that it was also attracting the jealousy of a certain Queen of Sitri.

 

To be honest, Rias wasn't directly involved; she hated it when others interfered in her relationships, so naturally she wouldn't do the same to others.

 

Of course, she also needs to make sure things don't go too badly.

 

As they were speaking, suddenly there was a sound of applause.

 

When Rias, Kiba, and Tosca turned towards the sound, they saw Grayfia approaching them with a smile.

 

'Ah, so it's a day off.'

 

That was Rias's first thought after seeing her like that.

 

Grafia hadn't put on her usual maid's clothes.

 

She looks younger, her eyes are red and she has a faded-pink scrunchy on her, as opposed to the blue maid outfit. Her outfit is a black shirt with golden-caramel accents at the edges of the shirt and spread horizontally near the bottom, with two light golden trims going down the shirt; and the shirt splits slightly above her stomach, exposing her midriff. Around her neck and shoulders is a long, cyan scarf made from light material that reaches her hips. Her jeans are blue, with a white outline at the top.

"You've improved so much, Rias."

 

Grayfia gave a warm smile.

 

......

 

Rias and Grayfia were sitting on the sofa.

 

Grayfia smiled at Rias, who was drinking tea in front of her.

 

She was closely following Rias development and was very pleased with it.

 

She personally observed that Rias had become more mature than the previous girl, and was also more open to improvement in terms of fighting prowess.

 

"So, Grayfia, why are you here?"

 

She giggled at Rias's question.

 

"What, you don't welcome your sister-in-law?"

 

"Of course not!"

 

Rias spoke, fearing a misunderstanding.

 

"I mean, wouldn't it have been better to drag Millicas and Nii-sama along on an occasion like this?"

 

Rias knew Grayfia was too professional and Sirzech was usually busy, so she naturally wanted her dear little newbew to benefit from such an opportunity.

 

"Don't worry, I'll do that directly from here on out, but before that I wanted to tell you that Zech has found a teacher for your Pawn."

 

Rias frowned.

 

"Honestly, I'm not happy about this."

 

Rias spoke with a sigh; She was fully aware of Sirzech's intentions.

 

He essentially hoped to make Issei the new face of the Underworld, or more precisely, the Devils.

 

"Yes, but you know your older brother, he's very stubborn in his own way...although that's one of the things I like about him, he hopes to break the negative opinions of the other Pantheons by using Issei Hyoudou as an outer facade.His status as the Red Dragon Emperor of this generation and his identity as 'Oppai Dragon' make him very suitable for this—"

 

"Of course, he's trying to make me famous with this too."

 

Rias said, rolling her eyes, and Grayfia nodded in agreement.

 

"So, who is the teacher?"

 

"Latia Astaroth"

 

Rias was about to spit out her tea.

 

"Excuse me????"

 

"It wasn't Sirzech who chose her; on the contrary, she voluntarily volunteered for it."

 

Rias frowned; she knew Latia had taken over after Diodora's death, she was now the official heir to the Pillar.

 

But did she become voluntarily...?

 

Rias murmured

 

"...Although the Astaroth family's situation is kept secret, they have still fallen out of favor with the upper management. Is there a way to restore the family to its former position?It can't be Sairaorg, he has an unclear relationship with Seekvaira, and provoking the Agares house would be a terrible choice; there's no one close to the Satans at the right age. Does she want to use Issei?"

 

Rias took this surprisingly lightly; under normal circumstances, she would have lost her temper long ago, but she could now see the bigger picture: Latia was planning to help the House of Astaroth through Issei.But this is also beneficial for Issei.

 

If the newly elevated Pawn also gains the direct support of a Pillar, its path will be clearer; at best, it will result in Latia taking Issei as her husband.

 

...Which would have been very beneficial for the Gremory house as well, but Rias had already put that on the back; no matter how she grew, her priority was her Peerages, who were like her family.

 

Grayfia looked at her proudly as she quickly deduced things; she was happy to see the girl growing up, just like her little sister.

 

She wrapped her arms around Rias.

 

"Fufu~ Rias, you've grown so much, I heard a certain Angel visited you yesterday too ♪"

 

Rias froze, her face taking on a tone that matched her hair.

 

"G-Grayfia?!"

 

Rias let out a startled scream.

 

"Don't run away~ Tell your sister everything♪."

 

Rias had never missed Grayfia in business mode so much that day.

 

.......

 

Azazel stood with Saji, Zekka, and Issei beside him.

 

{Now we will discover Oppai's power!}

 

A sound came from Zekka's chest!

 

Saji nodded and turned away.

 

"Have fun!"

 

But a hand grabbed him by the back of his neck.

 

"Let me go, Azazel-Sensei! If Shishou finds out I got involved in this, he'll beat me up!"

 

Azazel frowned at the mention of Daniele's name; he still hadn't gotten over the fact that he'd caught Gabriel, how could he have done that?!He's so jealous, damn it??!?

 

"Calm down, Prison Kid.Don't worry about Daniele, Oppai training is essentially about Tensei guiding Issei and Zekka will observe his techniques herself.I'll help you myself."

 

Saji paused for a moment... Daniele's words about battle training came to mind.

 

"Does it involve fighting?"

 

"Of course, we'll try to unlock your other two Balance Breakers."

 

Saji finally stopped running and returned to his place.

 

He wouldn't refuse the training; if Daniele advised him to, he would follow that advice.

 

Zekka was looking at Saji at that moment.

 

"Is Saji-senpai taking lessons from Daniele-san?"

 

Upon Zekka's question, Saji also looked at this little Kouhai.

 

'What are these ridiculous measures?'

 

Saji paused for a moment, then quickly shook his head! He kicked the negative thoughts out of his head; he was a man who have a sister ! He should be more considerate!!

 

"He's my Shishou!"

 

Zekka's eyes lit up.

 

"He's my Senjutsu teacher too! Or at least, that's what it should be...."

 

"Ah, so that makes you an apprentice siblings, like in those manhua?"

 

Issei said, raising one eyebrow.

 

Zekka and Saji exchanged glances for a moment, then instinctively shook hands.

 

Zekka's shyness seemed to vanish the moment she learned that Saji was Daniele's apprentice.

 

As the two smiled at each other, Azazel reached out and ruffled their hair.

 

"Okay, little ones, let's hurry up and get started!"

 

Azazel then dragged Saji away for training (torture), leaving Zekka and Issei alone again.

 

{So, Issei, are you ready to learn about Oppai's magnificence from me!?}

 

Tensei asked.

 

"Of course, Tensei-san, no....Shishou!"

 

A new teacher-student relationship was developing between them as Zekka's twitching eyebrows.

 

-----------------

 

America

 

--Chicago

 

The two figures were side by side during the day.

 

"Do you want another one?"

 

Daniele watched Ophis throw away the eighth dessert she had eaten.

 

He was wearing white jeans, a loose blue jacket, and a black t-shirt, and he still had that gold cross around his neck.

 

He was handsome, that was an undeniable fact, and he exuded a relaxed and approachable aura that those passing by noticed, like a shoulder to lean on where you could confide your biggest troubles.

On the other hand, Ophis was wearing a long black skirt, boots, and a pink ruffled blouse, She was wearing pink ribbons on either side of the press and white ribbon earrings.

 

Despite her youthful appearance, she exuded an almost divine charm; the sunlight struck her, and the wind gently fluttered her hair and skirt.

Daniele was walking with Ophis, who looked about very young.

 

No matter how you look at it, they weren't siblings; it was impossible.

 

"Later. Let's go there."

 

Ophis pointed to the 103-layer Tower there.

 

Also known as Willis Tower

 

Daniele shrugged and took her hand.

 

"Dany. This a Date, isn't it?"

 

He nodded in response to Ophis' question.

 

"Yes, you and I are on a date."

 

Ophis was silent for a moment; she had no information about the appointment...but she could find out.

 

.....

 

"Ah, I love you, my darling~"

 

"Me too~Let's enjoy our date!"

 

There were two people on a date, and the woman had her arm around the man's arm.

 

.......

 

Ophis saw of this scene... even though they were two cities apart.

 

That's why she grabbed his arm.

 

Daniele looked at her with curiosity.

 

But he didn't stop her, he was going to accompany Ophis today anyway...although it felt a little strange because of the height difference.

 

He reached out and stroked her hair.

 

"Let's go then."

 

"Hmm."

 

Ophis let out a sound of contentment at Daniele's touch as the two headed towards Willis Tower.

 

...A figure in the distance watches them, with narrowing eyes

 

......

 

Daniele and Ophis were standing in what could be called the most striking spot in the Willis Tower.

 

The Ledge

 

On the 103rd floor of the tower, there is what could be described as a 1.3-meter-high, completely glass, enclosed balcony.

 

Daniele and Ophis were focusing on this.

 

"Were they afraid of this? Why?"

 

Ophis tilted her head sweetly to the side, Daniele chuckled, and touched her shoulder.

 

"I think you shouldn't be looking directly down, but the view is of Ophis."

 

At Daniele's words, Ophis raised her head and looked straight ahead

 

The glass city was practically gleaming in the sunlight...

 

"Not bad, right?"

 

"Hmm. Not bad"

 

Ophis confirmed Daniele's words.

 

She reached out and took Daniele's hand, and he squeezed it back.

 

"Dany. I'm hungry."

 

Daniele rolled his eyes in amusement.

 

"Yes, yes, little black hole, let's go"

 

They returned hand in hand.

 

Of course, they didn't get very far, or rather, they couldn't, because two men in suits blocked their way.

 

"Can I help?"

 

Daniele raised an eyebrow; he sensed signs of magic on the them, which explained why no one was looking at them.

 

For some reason Daniele could sense the strange disgust they both felt towards him.

 

The first man quickly pulled out an ID card with three letters in capital letters: F-B-I

 

The other man talk

 

"You need to accompany us, sir."

 

[This is what happens when you flirt with Loli outdoors.]

 

'...ugh! Come on!'

 

Another problem for Daniele was that Ophis frowned slightly.

 

Ophis never liked having dessert, meal, or snack time interrupted, and now Daniele had to appease her so that all of America wouldn't be destroyed!

 

.......

 

???

 

Ophis and Daniele were sitting at a table; they were brought to a place that resembled an interrogation room.

 

Daniele's plan to appease Ophis was essentially to give her food...yes, Ophis was currently eating her 35th hot dog.

 

The men were staring at her with their mouths open before they left.

 

Daniele and Ophis waited idly for 12 minutes, except for the food service that arrived.

 

Of course, until the iron gate finally opened.

 

A muscular man in a suit entered; he had a well-defined face and a stitched scar above his eyebrow.

 

The man, holding a file, entered and calmly sat down at the table.

 

"Are you satisfied with the meal?"

 

"More ."

 

Ophis simply said that, the man nodded, pulled out his radio and said a few things.

 

The kindness he had shown Ophis had decreased threefold when he looked at Daniele.

 

"Daniele Berti, aka The Lion King. A member of the Church, an Angel, and a user of Longinus, is that correct?"

 

Daniele nodded

 

There was no reason for his to refuse, and he wouldn't have done it anyway; she came here purely out of curiosity, and if he wanted to leave, no one could stop him. It's a painful truth.

 

"I'm Cameron---"

 

"This is a fake name"

 

Daniele said without hesitation, it wasn't easy to lie in front of an angel.

 

But the man continued as if he hadn't heard.

 

"---I'm Cameron, and now, let's get to why we called you here..."

 

The man placed several pictures on the table.

 

It showed Ophis and Daniele hugging, being in close contact, and doing various things throughout the day; it really felt like a date, but Ophis's youthful appearance made things look a little more 'inappropriate'.

 

"I'll be honest with you, supernatural beings often deceive those younger than themselves,essentially when using Devils sides and it's my job to stop those bastard pedophiles, because I have sweet daughters too, and not want same thing is happening to them.I can't say anything about those involved in the supernatural world, but for those young people outside our region to be deceived by someone who isn't involved in the supernatural? That's unacceptable; this girl can't even be 15 years old."

 

Daniele didn't speak, not a single word, he clutched the bridge of his nose and sighed.

 

"Let's say she is older than you."

 

'Cameron' frowned.

 

"Our transmitters and detection experts detected not the slightest supernatural energy from her, and I assure you they are of the highest quality, even overseen by several Gods."

 

Daniele didn't say a word, instead turning to Ophis, who continued eating the food that had been brought to her; the hot dogs had turned into sooty hamburgers.

 

Ophis: ?

 

"Ophis, right now I'm being accused of you being too young."

 

Ophis turned her head and looked at the man.

 

"No. I'm old."

 

"Then please prove it, young lady."

 

'Cameron' spoke without knowing he was addressing the most powerful being in the world.

 

Ophis turned to Daniele.

 

"Keep going without going too far."

 

Daniele really didn't want his name associated with pedophilia!

 

Still disbelieving, 'Cameron' blinked, and in place of the child Ophis, there was now a woman Ophis.

 

The little girl had been replaced by a woman wearing a black skirt with leggings underneath, boots, and a pink, frilly, ornate blouse.

 

The ruffle ran right down the middle and there was a pink ribbon at the collar.

 

Her long hair flowed like a waterfall in the night, and she had distinctive, elven-like pointed ears.

She was cute before, but now... 'Cameron' stared, his mouth agape in fascination.

 

*Slap!*

 

'Cameron' slapped himself.

 

He shook his head quickly and coughed into his fist.

 

"...I understand, I think it's time to reconfigure our devices."

 

There was shame in his voice.

 

Daniele didn't accuse him, of course, I mean, this was Ophis!

 

At that moment, someone rushed in.

 

"Sir, we've discovered an emergency."

 

'Cameron' raised one eyebrow.

 

The newcomer first looked at them, then leaned down and whispered in his ear.

 

But how could he possibly hide from the senses of both Daniele and Ophis?

 

"Sir, we detected waves of hypnotic magic at the women's high school academy, and someone who has absolutely no connection to it entered."

 

For some reason, Daniele started breaking out in a cold sweat when he heard this.

 

'I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.'

 

Ophis, however, continued eating indifferently.

 

'Cameron' harshly turned to a man.

 

"Operation B, get ready!"

 

"Yes sir!"

 

The man ran outside as soon as gave military salute.

 

As he was leaving, 'Cameron' turned to Daniele and Ophis .

 

"I'm sure you two will manage to leave on your own, I have an urgent matter to attend to."

 

"Are you sure? We might go to the wrong places too."

 

Daniele said it in a suggestive, playful way.

 

'Cameron,' on the contrary, spoke sincerely.

 

"We already live in this filthy world, I'd rather trust an angel at least."

 

"....."

 

Daniele remained silent.

 

[It sat right in your stomach, didn't it?]

 

 

Then the man who had left earlier returned with a large machine in his hand, and Daniele's eyes lit up as he understood what was happening.

 

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an operation - B."

 

As the trigger was pulled, flames literally shot into the air.

 

A Flamethrower !!!!

 

Ophis clapped her hands with an 'ooo~' sound

 

......

 

The two walked side by side, Ophis again clinging to his arm and pressing her now quite developed curves against him.

 

She was adorable in her child form, but now... it's quite a striking feeling.

 

"Dany. Was that guy going to set someone on fire."

 

"Well, it seems so."

 

Daniele confirmed it.

 

"Aren't you going to stop."

 

Daniele remained silent after her words.

 

"There are people in this world who truly don't deserve compassion, how can I explain it, Ophis, people who inflict harm on others that they shouldn't."

 

"Forced mating?"

 

"One could say that."

 

"So.Would it be better if such people disappeared?"

 

Daniele didn't know why she was asking that, but he didn't refuse either.

 

Who would show mercy to a rapist or a pedophile?

 

At that moment, a ripple spread from where they were, which Daniele couldn't detect in the slightest.

 

To the whole country! At a speed that makes a second feel long.

 

As for what happened, cases 'similar' to those 'Cameron' went to were suddenly 'cleaned' from the country.

 

A middle-aged woman giving a young boy a very inappropriate look, a group of high school students cornering a woman... all of them, and many similar cases, suddenly disappeared from the entire country.

 

Such incidents wouldn't happen throughout the country for many years to come.

 

Neither Daniel nor Regulus, nor even the Gods themselves, of course, could have properly noticed.

 

But if Daniele knew, he would have patted her head in a complicated way and decided to pay EXTRA attention to his words.

 

----------------

 

Mexican

 

A group arrived in front of the temple, accompanied by their tour guide.

 

The tour guide, of course, continued with his presentation .

 

"Built between the 9th and 12th century, the sacred city is located 75 miles east of Merida, and covers an area of approximately six square miles where hundreds of buildings once stood. It is a beautifully restored collection of stepped pyramids, temples, columned arcades and other stone structures that were inhabited by the Maya between 750 AD and 1000 AD. Its centerpiece is the magnificent Pyramid of Kukulcan (or El Castillo), which was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007 and rises to about 100 feet. "

 

He paused for a moment to process the information before continuing, his voice soft, soothing, and quite pleasant.

 

"This temple is considered to be primarily dedicated to Kukulkan or K'uk'ulkan, and it is sometimes said that the snake-like shape formed by the shadows falling on the stairs is a manifestation of him."

 

He then led the group.

 

"Now please follow me."

 

As everyone was leaving, two people were looking at the temple with food in their hands.

 

Daniele and Ophis were holding tacos and Guacamole, respectively.

 

"Hmmm, quite nice."

 

Daniele said as he looked at the temple, he had a better 'vision' as an angel, he could sense the Divine feeling emanating from this temple.

 

"He came."

 

 Ophis's words, shadows suddenly appeared on the stairs, one shadow almost like a snake slithering there. .

 

The shadow rose as if it had come to life at that moment.

 

With its red eyes fixed on us, the shadow serpent rose fully and slithered towards them.

 

The shadow serpent then dispersed, replaced by a bronzed skin middle-aged man, half-naked, wearing a feathered hood shaped like a snake.

 

He wore Maya-based tattoos and a few bone accessories.

 

"...Ophis"

 

The man, who was a little over two meters tall, approached them and moved suddenly!

 

Daniele instinctively protected her with one hand while reaching out to Georgius with the other!

 

The opposing side was a powerful god, but as long as he had ties to serpents or dragons, he was still within Georgius's range of attack!

 

Daniele had lifted Georgius into the air, preparing to swung ... when the scene before him made him stop

 

This man... was prostrating himself before them.

 

"Oh Great Ophis! What a pleasure to see you after 5000 years!!!!!"

 

A High-Ranking God.....was flattering them.

 

Daniele's eyebrows twitched violently.

 

Slowly stepping back from Ophis, he placed Georgius back in the space storage.

 

"To what do I owe this honor? Do you need any help?"

 

"No. Coincidence ."

 

"What should I do for you! Should I sacrifice those earlier tourists in your honor, or could I even make a bed out of their skins?"

 

Daniele winced.

 

He had forgotten that the Mayan gods possessed such things.

 

Ophis glanced at Daniele.

 

*Slap*

 

"No."

 

Kukulkan flew over the temple after being slapped.

 

But as if he had never left, he suddenly reappeared at full speed in the same position.

 

"Thank you"

 

The same God, with a slap mark on his cheek and blood dripping from his nose, gave thanks.

 

"Umm... what's your relationship with Ophis?"

 

Daniele finally couldn't help but ask, what kind of absurdity was he watching?

 

Kukulkan, however, sneered at Daniele and quickly rose to his feet.

 

"What is our relationship, can't you tell when you see me, Lion King? Great Ophis is the God of Dragons and especially Snakes; I can recognize him in every form and appearance, I am his loyal subject."

 

Daniele frowned; if Kukulkan was his loyal subject, why hadn't Ophis hired him for the Khaos Brigade earlier?

 

But he would quickly learn the answer... because Ophis asked a question that froze the air.

 

"Subjects?"

 

'She forgot...no, she wasn't even aware of it!?!'

 

Kukulkan looked like he was about to cry.

 

"Are you ok!"

 

But even when Daniele called out to him, he seemed not to hear Daniele; a depressive aura surrounded him.

 

"Ophis... he looks so pathetic" (whisper)

 

Daniele whispered to Ophis, who was standing next to him.

 

"And?"

 

Ophis asked in an unimpressed tone.

 

"Perhaps...should you praise him?" (whisper)

 

Daniele didn't know what to say.

 

Ophis looked at Kukulkan, who was kneeling... She touched his head.

 

"Good job."

 

"Yes, Great Ophis!"

 

Kukulkan suddenly stood up with joy, and Daniele saw a snake's tail dangling there.

 

Suddenly, a golden rock about half Daniele's height fell in front of them.

 

"Here you go, Great Ophis, it's of no use to you, but it's useful in human society."

 

Ophis reached out and tugged at the edge of his jacket.

 

"Dany. You take it."

 

Daniele didn't back down; it was going to end up in Ophis's stomach anyway.

 

"I'm always here to help if you need anything!!"

 

As they were leaving, Kukulkan shouted

 

 

'I need to get out of here!'

 

Daniele absolutely needed to get out of here right now.

 

He was currently in front of 'that kind' of hotel.

 

Ophis had grabbed him by the arm and dragged him here by force.

 

"Why!?"

 

He screamed desperately.

 

"Dates end at the hotel."

 

Ophis spoke as if displaying her immense wisdom.

 

What she was actually doing was listening to those around her with perceptions, meaning she had just heard someone say this in another country.

 

"This is wrong! Well, not entirely...but mainly for those who are VERY VERY close."

 

"Aren't we ?""

 

Ophis suddenly looked at Daniele's face.

 

Her divinely beautiful face was so close to his, her gray eyes with vertical pupils seemed as if they would swallow him whole.

 

"..... we are"

 

Daniele agreed.

 

"But not like this, this is different."

 

Ophis frowned, a look of confusion appearing on her beautiful face.

 

"Then we'll do it."

 

Daniele stared at her in astonishment as he was suddenly pulled into the hotel! As a Cadre, his strength was utterly inadequate compared to Ophis's; it was like an ant against an elephant.

 

As the two entered the hotel, the man standing there was completely captivated by Ophis's beauty, then immediately glanced at Daniele's face with envy.

 

"Give a room."

 

Ophis said it directly.

 

"Two of them!"

 

Daniele puts up his last resistance.

But the officer gave him a smile that 'only men would understand'.

 

"I'm sorry sir and madam, we only have one room left."

 

Then he winked at Daniele.

 

"Send some food ."

 

Ophis knew he was lying, of course...but she didn't care, she grabbed the key and dragged Daniele away, who was clutching his face in anger.

 

"Which one!"

 

The man shouted from behind

 

"All of them."

 

*ching~*

 

At that moment, the man's ears heard only the imaginary sounds of money.

 

.......

 

The hotel was quite good, Daniele had to admit.

 

At least it was above average.

 

"Now what."

 

Ophis asked this, Daniele looked at her with a helpless smile, knowing that her intentions weren't bad, she just wanted to experience it.

 

"You sit on the couch, I'll get the blankets, and we can watch a movie with the food that's brought."

 

"Hmm"

 

Ophis made a pleased and eager sound.

 

As she sat down in that chair, Daniele pulled blankets out of the space storage, of course there were some here too... but this was officially a love hotel... It was more hygienic that way.

 

The food arrived 15 minutes later, and there were at least five men driving cars, each with a smile on their face as if they'd won the lottery.

 

Daniele, despite frowning, gave each of them a tip.

 

But there was also a problem.

 

"All this food won't fit. "

 

The room wasn't small, but the food portions were excessive.

 

A purple-black force suddenly emanated from Ophis, and the room seemed to triple in size!

 

Daniele looked around the room...then at Ophis, who was giving him innocent looks....he shrugged.

 

'.....meh'

 

As he sat down next to Ophis, covered himself and Ophis with the blanket.

 

They placed all kinds of food around them.

 

As Ophis snuggled closer to Daniele, Daniele hugged her back.

 

They turned on the television...

 

[Oh Yes! Yes! Oh♥---

 

*Crash!!!!*

 

The remote control pierce through the television screen.

 

Daniele let out a deep breath.

 

He fixed the television with the magic circle and started choosing a movie from the CDs on it.

 

Throughout all of this, his expression didn't change in the slightest, and he ignored Ophis's curious glances.

 

"Don't ask..."

 

"Ok."

 

The two of them watched the movies in silence.

 

As for the food, most people went to Ophis, of course.

 

"Where is this place?"

 

Ophis pointed to the location in the Movie.

 

The movie was a beautiful classic that Daniele watched in both of his lives.

 

"I'm sorry Ophis, that chocolate factory doesn't actually exist."

 

".....palace."

 

"That's also doesn't exist."

 

Ophis pouted

 

She was definitely not satisfied.

 

"I can't say I don't understand, maybe one day we'll make our own."

 

Ophis turned her head with such speed that created an air force.

 

"Promise."

 

"Promise."

 

Daniele smiled at her, reached out, and brought their little fingers together.

 

"Little finger promise"

 

"Hmm"

 

Ophis wiggled her little finger.

 

The two of them then continued watching the movie.

 

........

 

 After all the Movies have been shown and all the meals have been eaten and finished, of course only one thing remains.

 

"Sleep."

 

Daniele suddenly froze.

 

"...together?"

 

"hmm"

 

Daniele felt a little strange, but it wasn't the first time he'd slept with her, and he was certainly not an inexperienced man.

 

Most importantly, he didn't think Ophis would give up easily, at least not without good reason.

 

So he nodded his head.

 

But Ophis stopped him with her hand.

 

"Bath before bedtime. Asia gets angry."

 

Daniele stared, his mouth agape, at Ophis as she went into the bathroom.

 

[Asia Argento ,What a terrifying existence. ]

 

"Nothing less could be expected from my Asia."

 

Ophis's bath lasted about 45 minutes.

 

When she finally emerged from the bathroom with wet hair, Daniele's mouth dropped open for a moment.

 

He focused all his willpower on keeping his gaze fixed on the woman's face.

 

Because that black bathrobe, which fit perfectly on her curvy body, hardly cover anything.

 

Her cleavage, specifically a large portion of her Breast, was visible; even below, one leg was completely uncovered, and aside from her juicy thighs, even her most intimate area was covered by only a few centimeters.

Daniele tried to focus, regretting that he didn't attach the Interdimensional doorknob.

 

"I'm waiting in bed."

 

As Ophis said this, she went into the room, completely unaware of the devastating nature of her words.

 

Daniele let out a deep breath and calmed himself down.

 

.....a drop of blood flowed from his nose

 

......

 

After a very cold shower, Daniele also put on his pajamas and went to bed.

 

Ophis was there under the duvet, and unlike the rest of the room, they had still transformed the bedroom into an interdimensional room... because the bed was more comfortable.

 

The bulge under the duvet moved and opened at the corner.

 

"Aren't you coming."

 

Hearing Ophis's voice, Daniele also entered through the opened side.

 

Ophis was there wearing a one-piece nightgown that was a lighter shade of pink than her blouse.

 

It wasn't very long and reached thigh level, which showed off her attractive legs.

 

Just above, her very large breasts, pressed together in addition to her low-cut dress, showcased their enormous size and elasticity.

'...Installing the door handle was a good idea.'

 

Daniele crawled under the covers while praising his own wisdom.

 

Ophis quickly covered both herself and Daniele, and beneath the blanket, their eyes met.

 

Why did you intervene against Kukulkan."

 

"What does that mean?"

 

Daniele didn't understand what Ophis was trying to imply.

 

"So... he can't hurt me, and I'm the strong one. Shouldn't I be the one protecting you."

 

Even though Ophis's sentences were questions, the way she said them wasn't.

 

She seemed to emphasize something.

 

"Actually, I didn't think much about it at the time, after all, Ophis is a precious family member to me, wouldn't you protect something that's precious to you?"

 

Ophis remained silent.

 

"I will protect my desserts."

 

"Pfft---"

 

Daniele bit his lip to keep from bursting into laughter.

 

"Yes, yes Ophis, you're like a dessert to me too."

 

"? Do you want to eat me?"

 

Daniele couldn't stand being teased any longer, so he reached out and stroked her hair.

 

"Well, I'm sure your taste not good"

 

Ophis looked at him for about 10 seconds.

 

"Wrong. I'm delicious."

 

Then, as the Infinitt Dragon Goddess wrapped her arms around him, she buried her face in his chest.

 

As she rubbed her face against his chest, Daniele wrapped his arms around her.

 

"Good night, Ophis"

 

"Hmmm~"

 

Ophis answered vaguely

 

'Warm.'

 

While Ophis was thinking about this, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.

 

.......

 

Daniele Mansion

 

A yellow magic circle appeared before Daniele, the object of his condemnation, a gift from Phenex.

 

Amidst the flames, a certain Phenex princess, with suitcases beside her, reached for the doorbell, somewhat shy, somewhat eager, and mostly excited.
