I'm standing in front of the lake from a few days ago. Next to me, there's a campfire with fish roasting.
Behind me, well, there's a bunch of mages and devils groaning in pain.
They must have sensed my aura as the Sekiryuutei. I'm sure what I did two days ago caught Azazel's attention. And the rest of the supernatural world.
Azazel probably wants to talk, which is why I released my Sekiryuutei aura in this place. But the only things I attracted were human mages and filthy demons. I can't sense the presence of a single fallen angel in the city. But if Azazel doesn't show up today, I'll move on to somewhere else, maybe England… to see how the exorcists do things.
"D-die, you… m-monster!"
From the corner of my left eye, I saw a demon casting demonic magic at me. Sighing, I pointed my finger, and a thin white laser shot out at the demon. The laser pierced through the demonic magic and went through the demon's head, killing it.
"Know your place… filthy demon."
I've always hated the demons in this world. Even in the anime, I never liked them. Why do demons, evil beings of darkness, act like they're the good guys?
Sensing magic, I looked up at the sky behind me, and high up, I spotted a yellow magic circle.
Looks like he's finally here. Emerging from the magic circle was Azazel, the feathers of his wings, darker than eternal darkness, falling from the sky. If it were daytime, it'd be a cool scene, but it's already night.
"Oh, what a mess. Shall I clean it up for you?"
I grinned, excited by the angelic power Azazel possesses. If we fought, I don't see how I could beat him. Damn, my Dragon Slayer blood wants to fight until one of us is incapacitated or dead. I need to control myself; I'm not here to go around fighting the world.
Suppressing the urge to fight Azazel, I responded with an excited smile. "Be my guest!"
I grabbed one of the fish and bit into it, eating it whole. As a Dragon Slayer, I can eat even the spines or bones of animals, and they go down easily. All I need to do is gut them, and I can eat the scales and fishbones too.
I looked at the sky and saw a bunch of light spears in the air. All the spears shot toward the demons and mages on the ground. The demons turned to golden dust and rose to the sky. The humans turned into a yellow light and slowly dissipated.
"Pleasure to meet you, Sekiryuutei. My name is Azazel, the Governor-General of the Fallen Angels."
Azazel looks so cool up there with all those golden sparkles rising to the sky.
"Pleasure, Fallen. My name is Suoh Mikoto, the Sekiryuutei of this generation."
Azazel descended and walked over to me. He sat on the other side, and we were between the campfire.
"Those fish look good. I'll grab one!"
He took one and started eating. Hmm, looks like he hasn't eaten in days; I can clearly see how he's devouring the fish. What happened to him?
"And those bags under your eyes?" Azazel also looks like he hasn't slept in months.
"Work. I haven't slept or eaten in the last few days. I managed to escape and came straight to the place where I could sense Ddraig's aura. Hmm, is he sleeping?"
"It's always like that. Must be why only two of his wielders defeated the white one."
"True. By the way, can you eat the fishbones?"
I bit into the fish's head and started chewing; the sound of the head's bones was heard around us. From the corner of my right eye, I see Azazel sweating at the scene.
"Forget I asked."
A yellow magic circle appeared in Azazel's hand. A bottle of whisky came out of the magic circle. I want to drink, but the Spirit rules are harsh. He took out two glasses and filled them with whisky.
"Want some?"
"Spirit rules?"
"I get it. You're too young; the Spirit could delete us for this. The Spirit really doesn't understand what a fanfic is, especially when it's clearly marked down there. 18+!"
"Yeah. The worst part is they're right. There are kids under 18 reading; it's annoying to know. Because of that, 18+ fanfics are read by minors. To avoid being deleted, I have to follow the rules and not drink alcohol or have sex before 14, but I'll wait until I'm 18 for that."
"I get it, I get it. But now you're on Wattpad? You don't need to worry about the Spirit's trash rules…"
"Oh! That's right. If you'll excuse me, I'll take the whisky."
I completely forgot I'm on Wattpad now. I can drink, do drugs, and have sex. Hmm… maybe not drugs.
Kids, don't do drugs.
"Back to the main topic, leaving the fourth wall breaking aside."
So we returned to the main topic, leaving the fourth wall aside. For now, of course. By the way, the whisky is really good.
And from what I see, this is *that* whisky… my God. I can't believe I'm drinking this whisky? Its price is almost 6,000 dollars. Royal Salute 62 Gun 1000 ml. 27,500 BRL. Almost 6,000 dollars. Though it's only half the price of Macallan. If I'm not mistaken, the Macallan M Black is priced close to 50,000 BRL.
Macallan is considered the true Rolls-Royce of whiskies; Macallan is one of the most awarded single malts in the world. The prestigious Macallan whisky, with nearly 200 years of tradition, is one of the most coveted nectars for lovers of the sacred malt. Demanding and sophisticated, Macallan admirers acquire commemorative editions at renowned auctions, spending thousands of euros on a single bottle.
"Well, I came here to ask you to join me. I'll also help you control the Boosted Gear and train you, of course, if you come with me to Grigori."
"Straight to the point, I like that. Hmph, I don't need a teacher to train me or control the Boosted Gear. I can do that myself. I already have control over Ddraig, and I know you know this, but I can already use Balance Breaker without issues."
"Seriously?! In that case, there's nothing I can offer, hahahaha."
After laughing a bit, Azazel stopped to think for a second and made me a proposal. "Hmm, how about joining the group you met a few days ago? There's a blonde mage there with incredible breasts."
So, Azazel plans to use Lavinia to lure me. Lavinia must have reported that I showed interest in her breasts. But I don't deny her breasts are incredible.
"That I agree with. She's pretty sexy, the dream of any teenager. I'm a kid; to me, she's still bland. But I definitely got excited seeing those perfect pink nipples. It's just that I'm still a kid…"
"Oh! Don't give me that kid talk. Listen, we men learn this early, so early that we're all perverts at heart. Breasts and butts, that's all we have in our heads; we men think with the lower head, not the upper one. You get it…"
I started ignoring this disgusting speech. If a woman were nearby, she'd definitely walk away from us. I opened the Gate of Babylon and grabbed a zero-sugar cola. I recently robbed a store; I broke in and also went to the camera room and destroyed it. Then I took some food and drinks. I removed the cap and started drinking. Drinking only alcohol isn't good. Especially whisky.
Azazel seems to have finally finished his shitty speech about men. A real man wouldn't give a speech that's literally an insult to women, and well, probably not even virgin nerds would either. Unless it's those three…
"I can join that group. For the right price." As if I'd work for free.
"Right price? You plan to charge me to join them?"
"Charge? No, I'll stay with them for a while, as long as you pay me. 1 million dollars a day."
Azazel choked on his alcoholic drink. I'm pretty sure I didn't exaggerate, much.
"Cough cough… 1 million cough dollars… Hehehe… you're joking, right?"
"Of course not. And it's one million dollars, per day!"
"You're extorting me. For a brat, you're very bold. That would affect the global economy. Maybe a million yen, we're in Japan after all."
"Hmm, then 1,076,475,000 yen, per day!"
"That's a million dollars a day! I can't pay that; it's too much, it'll drastically affect the global economy."
"It won't. That talk about the global economy is a big lie. The mint in every country produces over a hundred million of the country's currency per day. Don't give me that lying political talk. And if I join you, I'll become an enemy of all the other factions. Remember, the other factions don't like you. And you already have the Hakuryuukou; if I, the Sekiryuutei, join you, the angel and demon factions will think you're planning a war. I'm not getting into that mess without a decent price."
All the other factions don't trust Azazel, especially the angel and demon ones. Not that I care about wiping out all the demons. I'm not a big fan of demons.
"You're very smart for your age. How old are you exactly?"
"Just eight little years…"
"Eight years old and already smart enough to extort me. Are you the devil?!"
"No way. If I were born a demon, I'd commit suicide and make that damn Reincarnation God give me a new life as a human."
"That's a good point! But when a demon dies, there's no next life; they disappear completely, no hell or purgatory."
"Who knows? Maybe there's a heaven even for demons."
The way this world is crazy, I believe it's possible there's a paradise even for demons. I wonder: who manages reincarnation in this world? I'm sure reincarnation exists in this world; just look at the descendants of heroes—they're all reincarnations.
"That's a scary thought."
"So, are you going to pay the million dollars a day, or will I have to go to the Vatican to see if the angels want me for a while?!"
"For a while, huh! That's why the per day; you sound a lot like a mercenary. I'll pay a million a day, somehow."
Azazel reached into his coat and pulled out a very old cell phone for the year of my old world.
"Here's everything you need to know about the kids' work. Go to their hideout. I'll send a message to Lavinia about you joining the group. And if you manage to grope her, I want a report as detailed as possible."
He handed me the phone and stood up. Spreading his wings, he prepared to leave.
"Bye, Extortion-kun!"
After he left saying that, I looked at the cell phone. In this cell phone—no, this brick—there's all the information I already know. When will the first smartphone come out in this world? Right now, it's the '90s, 1994. The DxD canon is 11 years away.
"Well, time to go back to that stupid hideout."
(Scene Change)
At the hideout, Lavinia opened the door where she asked everyone to gather. Tobio, Natsume, Vali, and the guy they picked up a day ago, Samejima Kouki. Tobio is with his Sacred Gear, the dog, and Samejima with the white cat in a coat. Vali is stuffing himself with cup ramen.
"Why did you ask everyone to gather here, witch!"
That was Samejima Kouki who spoke. Samejima is a tall, handsome young man with dyed brown hair and gray eyes. He's a delinquent.
"Well… I got a message from the Governor-General; the kid in the red armor from the other day will join us as reinforcement."
Tobio started sweating in fear. He still hasn't forgotten the speed and strength Vali and Suoh have.
"I hope he doesn't act like the white brat here."
Natsume said, pointing at Vali, who choked on the news.
"He better not get in the way."
Samejima Kouki said, leaving the room. A typical delinquent. Vali also stood up and left in silence.
"Will things be okay?"
Tobio asked with doubts. Lavinia smiled gently and replied.
"If the Governor-General managed to get him to join our group, it'll be a big help. Va-kun doesn't like helping us, and the shark does everything alone. It'll be fine. Fufufu…"
Tobio and Natsume grew suspicious of Lavinia. That expression. It wasn't the expression a normal person makes.
