“I had so much suspicion towards her, but I decided to trust her because of one fact.”
I ask Kaichou.
“O-One fact……?”
Then the loli Grim Reaper pushes an autograph paper toward me.
《Boss Oppai Dragon. I’m a big fan of yours, Boss. Look, I have so many embroideries of Oppai Dragon behind my cape. Can I ask you to give me one of your signatures? 》
E-Even if you show me embroideries like that…… Ah, there really are many embroideries of me wearing armour!
Wait, she is a fan of mine!? I have another one after Le Fay!
“My fan……?”
I ask while signing.
《Yes, plus I didn’t like the ways of my shitty dad and Hades-sama so I left home.》
So that means there are many types of Grim Reaper? It seems like the God of the realm of the dead also has many house issues.
“It was fortunate that it was enough with a single [Knight] piece.”
Kaichou says it like that. Truly, that was a bargain.
《My blood from mother’s side is stronger, so I’m that amazing.》
Loli-girl says that but……it seems like her character is strong. In terms of both her characteristic and ability.
Kaichou then says to the loli Grim Reaper.
“Bennia, just like Rugal, can I leave the backup of the outside area to you?”
“Yes sir, master. I will be on standby outside with that brother who joined in at the same time as me.”
Saying that the loli Grim Reaper, Bennia, activates the magic-circle below her feet and disappears by sinking into it like that. ……She sure does use an amusing way of passing through the magic-circle. So instead of teleporting when the light bursts, she goes through it by sinking into it.
Kaichou makes a small sigh.
“I’m very sorry that it turned into an introduction of my new servants right before our important plan…… Things like these sure do happen at bad times.”
“No, it was actually a good thing, it helped me loosen up a bit.”
That’s how I truly feel. I didn’t have that much confidence because I have to retrieve my juniors from enemies whose identities are unknown, but my tension softened in a good way from being introduced to the additional members of the Sitri.
So does this mean that the only pieces of the Sitri’s side left are the 3 [Pawn] pieces? I did hear that Saji is worth 4 pieces, and Nimura-san is worth 1 piece.
Kaichou then asks me.
“Now, Ise-kun. How is Ddraig’s condition?”
“The truth is, not so good. He wakes up at times, but he sleeps most of the time. He’s sleeping right now, and he isn’t giving me any response. I can make the normal gauntlet appear, but I’m not in my best condition.”
Rather, I was finally able to have the gauntlet’s ability work just before. So I’m able to double my power and use Gift. I was able to use my armour form during the training, but it seems like I can’t use it right now…… Since Ddraig hasn’t recovered completely, my power is too unstable……
“So, it means Balance Breaker is impossible right now. Understood. Then let’s go with a plan where Boosted Gear Scale Mail isn’t involved.”
“I’m sorry.”
……Shit, I’m so ashamed at myself since I’m useless at such a crucial time. I was asked to take care of home while Rias is absent, but I have been feeling ashamed at myself continuously……
Kaichou smiles at me who is feeling down.
“There isn’t a single reason for you to be apologising, Ise-kun. You are the hero who saved the Underworld. For the part where you can’t give your all, we will just have to make up for it. Also, you worked too hard within this short period of time. Truly, you worked so hard that I am ashamed at myself and feel that we were lacking in strength.”
Not just Kaichou, but the members of the Student Council are also nodding.
“You should rely on us at times, Hyoudou. We are rivals during the game. But we are comrades during real battles. We want to protect the Underworld and Kuou academy as well after all.”
