When we set foot on the school grounds, the armies of the three big powers had come in and carried out the processing after the battle.
They carried away the corpses of the dead magicians, and looked to be cleaning up after the battle.
When we advanced to the centre of the school grounds, the forms of Sirzechs-sama, Serafall Leviathan-sama, and Michael-san could be seen giving orders to people who seemed to be subordinates.
When Sirzechs-sama caught sight of us, he raised his hands.
“So you were safe. Thank goodness. —Azazel, what happened to that arm?”
Seeing the one-armed Azazel, Sirzechs-sama gestured his hand at Asia. Asia responded to that and applied her recovery Sacred Gear on the opening of Azazel’s wound. Pale green light healed the wound on Azazel’s arm, but the lost arm wasn’t fixed.
“I was caught by Cattleya and nearly self-destructed along with her. I had no choice but to cut it off.”
“I see. Her matter was a problem on the devil’s side. About that wound—”
Sirzechs-sama tried to say words to make up for it in another form, but Azazel held him back with his hand and showed that it “wasn’t necessary”.
“I also…caused trouble with Vali.”
“…So he betrayed you.”
“From the start, he was a guy that poured into only power. If you look at it from the results, it’s possible to understand and say [Ah, I see]. —However, it’s my responsibility that I didn’t stop it from happening.”
Azazel’s eyes seemed lonely somehow. Did he feel something for the time he was with Vali?
Michael-san came between Sirzechs-sama and Azazel.
“Now then, I’m returning to heaven at once and will work on a plan for the matter of peace and countermeasures against the [Khaos Brigade].”
“I’m sorry, I had arranged things this time. We who set up the place of this conference feel ashamed.”
“Sirzechs, please don’t feel so responsible. As for me, I’m just glad that the three great powers are walking on the path to peace together, you know? With this, useless quarrels should also decrease.”
“Well, subordinates who don’t agree with that will also leave.”
Azazel made that sarcastic remark.
“That is inevitable. Because we’ve been hating each other for a long time. However, it should change even a little from now on. —The problem is the [Khaos Brigade] that we can’t assume is good.”
“Then let’s cooperate and discuss from now on regarding that matter.”
Azazel and Michael-san nodded at Sirzechs-sama’s idea.
“Then, I’ll return to heaven at once. I’ll come back immediately, so we’ll conclude the formal peace agreement at that time.”
And then, I spoke out to Michael-san who would try to be here later, though it was rude.
