The atmosphere was quite tense after my speech, and it didn't help that the table was utterly broken.
Thankfully, Natsu asked about a different matter.
"Say, 'Governor-General'. The other children, the rest of those who survived, what has beco of them?"
>
"Suou… hahahahaha, this is hilarious! I like you more and more every ti I see you, Tobio! Now that I notice, you bear a certain resemblance to that mother-daughter couple."
While Azazel and I were laughing, the other people present did not seem to understand what was going on in our minds.
"By so chance, what you were saying earlier about the 'Five Principal Clans', is there so connection between his Obaa-chan and that guy?"
Apparently, Sajima was thinking about this situation.
But the Azazel purposefully said nothing about it. That's how he is, he wants to be involved in mystery to see how the things play out.
Hijima clan…
Don't let see you soon or I will…
...............…
As we left the multi-tenant building, as Sajima was going on his motorcycle, Natsu had detained him and had begun quarrelling.
"Just a minute, where are you going!?"
"I'm just going back, alright. I'm about to collapse from exhaustion after all that's happened today."
"I wonder, are you truly going back? So you're not going to do sothing like stopping on the way and start fighting again on your own and such if you'll pardon my asking?"
"Ah, yeah yeah. Although, if the affair's mastermind should beco known to , I will be drawn in by that."
"Do you think taking such dangerous actions single-handedly is reliable? Were you not listening to what the 'Governor-General' said? And yet, you're going to attack such awful people? It's no good unless all of us cooperate!"
Sajima placed the white cat that had been sitting on the fuel tank into the bosom of his shirt.
"This guy will succeed sohow or other."
The white cat, only the head of which could be seen from within the shirt, purred "Nyah."
Having gone beyond rage directed at the self-assured Sajima, Natsu was now wearing a disgusted expression.
Natsu turned to Tobio.
"Ikuse-kun, help stop this Yankee."
I put my hand on top of Natsu's head, stopping her from being so anxious.
"I know that you are worried, Natsu. But let him live his own life. Kouki and Byakusa are a strong couple, so there is no problem if they go alone. Utsusemi is nothing for them."
Natsu trembled a little bit when I touch her, and her face turned as red as a tomato.
"Yeah…" She mumbles quietly while she retreats behind .
"Look at yourself, birdbrain, it seems the dragon has tad you." Kouki laughed at her appearance.
"I'll kill you, Yankee!"
"See ya, guys!"
"Three days, Kouki. Valina is going to test how much have you improve on three days. You wouldn't want to get your ass kicked again, don't you?"
Kouki's smile disappeared, and he nodded with a serious expression. He then opened the accelerator to fool and speedily departed.
...............…
In the next morning.
Once again, Kuroka was peacefully sleeping in my arms. But unlike the day before, this ti it was Valina who was accompanying us.
"Good morning," I said when I noticed that one of the girls woke up.
"Good morning, big brother Drako."
Of course, Kuroka couldn't wake up alone. It was Valina who had woken up, as the sun was beginning to enter through the opening of the blinds.
"What are you going to do today, Valina? Are you going to take a look at Tobio?"
Valina, who hadn't quite woken up, nodded her head.
"Azazel says he has a very interesting Sacred Gear, which doesn't lose on mine. He didn't want to say much, but only a Longinus can keep up with the Divine Dividing. And being a dog his Sacred Gear, there's only one na that cos to mind. Canis..."
"Lycaon." I finished the sentence that Valina had started.
She gave a half-smile, which showed all the beauty of the young Lucifer.
"I have high hopes, maybe this boy will give a good fight. I also want to fight you, I've improved a lot since you defeated ."
"Don't get your hopes up too high for Tobio, his Sacred Gear doesn't seem to be going past its early stages. You probably don't need to use Albion's powers to defeat him."
At my words, Valina shows a disappointed face.
"And you say you've beco stronger, but have you thought about how I can beco stronger too?"
I put my index finger on Valina's forehead, and it took the shape of my dragon finger. It was quite funny because I could cover Valina's face with just my fingertip. From that finger, I let Valina feel my true current power, which caused the girl to be surprised.
And although I was expecting another face of disappointnt from Valina for not being able to overco for the mont, I found a face of genuine happiness from her. This surprised a lot, but it also gave indications that I wasn't important to Valina just because I was a target for Valina in terms of rivalry.
"You've beco much stronger, big brother! I'm so happy for you!"
"Why are you so happy, Valina?" he asked, full of curiosity.
"Isn't it obvious? You are the elder brother of the most powerful White Dragon Empress, so you must beco one of the most powerful in the entire world. I won't ask you to reach the level of Ophis or Great Red, but you have to be at least almost as strong as the gods in the Hindu pantheon. Do you understand ?"
She had a face that said, "You have to listen to , yes or yes."
"The Hindu Pantheon? They are very weak. You'll see how one day, your big brother will be so strong that he can beat all the top 10 attacking together with only one hand."
Although I'm just kidding right now, it seed like Valina didn't take it as a joke.
"Big brother, I believe you! If it's big brother, you can accomplish anything."
You're wondering why Valina's acting this way with .
Well, it all goes back to when I beat her in a fight a few weeks after the incident. She lost and didn't give up, so she kept asking for a rematch.
It seems that she finally got tired and that's when she started acting sweetly towards until it got to the point where it seems that what Valina feels for is nothing but fanaticism.
"Hmm? It seems that Tobio and Natsu are training on the roof of the building, although the boy has been training all night. Why don't you go take a look while I make breakfast?"
I don't miss Kuroka's ear movent when I ntion breakfast.
"It's all right. You better have sothing made that I like when I get back."
Valina takes off her pyjamas and puts on her clothes before going up to the roof where Tobio and Natsu were training.
"Did you say breakfast-nyaa?"
Yes, Kuroka had woken up at the very mont I had ntioned the word "breakfast". I don't know how she does it, but she seems to react instinctively to the things she likes.
"Sigh... yes, I'll make breakfast."
