"I'm not trying to make excuses but it is in so ways in our nature. Humans have always been weaker, so many kept preying on them."
"In the end, I still don't understand Father's idea of creating mankind."
...
I stayed silent to let her mull over her words while I finished up on my breakfast. Well at least I got my confirmation about the Christian side, but sothing still did not add up. Based on what I had learned from Rin, the absence of a God or so higher being would make the domain they lived sowhat unstable if not destroyed. Sona and Rias had told about the deaths of the four Maous, yet they were able to copulate and thrive by resurrecting other folk, and by their words, the world they lived in did not die out.
Was that the sa for Heaven? From their descriptions, there was supposedly a large number of Fallen Angels, likely falling from grace due to the absence of God's teachings. Perhaps that was the reason.
"I did not an to drag up any bad mories." I looked to the clock and noted the timing. "We can continue this conversation later, I would need to get to school."
"Huh~ Oh right." Mitelt looked at before understanding what I said, before frowning lightly. "Here's what I don't get from you. Why are you going to school in the first place? It's not like you need the education, and correct if I'm wrong, but you could have gone straight to university with your grades. Even the Sitri princess had wondered about that."
"Bad luck on my bit." I shrugged back in reply. "I will be going now, you have to et Kawako-san soon, so don't be late."
"URGH!" Mitelt groaned while paling at the prospect of eting the elderly woman, much to my amusent. Sona had offered to keep an eye on her at tis when I could not be around to supervise, and ended up getting front row seats to what was possibly the most unusual play of a human subjugating a century-old being with only her ladle.
I wish I was there to see it.
"By the way, aren't you going to do sothing about that?" Mitelt interrupted my thoughts and pointed at . "Not sure if that is wise to have it so open?"
"It is the best I can do." I fingered the miniature spear that was dangling off a silver chain around my neck. "This guy is pretty adamant in following , and I can't store it the sa way as I did with the swords."
And that was the truth. For the past few days, [Hell's Trident] was a major headache to deal with as it kept trying to follow everywhere I went, and it sohow managed to pierce through the dinsional pocket I went to store it in. Making it invisible seed to help my situation a little bit, but I can't make it incorporeal unless I was actively thinking of creating a spear with that property. It was after so experintation I was able to reduce both its size and its Prana signature to be inconspicuous.
It did not really help much though when so had noticed the spear and thought I had an odd accessory with . Oh the number of advices for fashion.
Joy.
"You have to be the first person I know to make a Sacred Gear jump ship and make you its possessor." Mitelt shook her head in disbelief. "I can't help but wonder how Father would feel hearing this."
"Well I for one wouldn't mind it too much." I said as I put on the jacket and adjusted the collar to hide Sacred Gear. "After figuring out so of the kinks of this weapon, I think I'm getting the hang of it. I'm actually trying out so creations and new fighting styles."
"… You are really a weird human." Mitelt gaped at with a very funny expression. I rely chuckled and made my way to the door. Guess I was weird considering I was already able to get a good idea of how to use this Sacred Gear in battle and the possible combinations that can be made. Furthermore, it was with great pleasure to find that I could use this gear as a substitute for so of the other spears in the reality marble. With a few more tweaks I should be able to get so decent results.
Now if only I could do the sa for the swords I took from Kiba.
"Okay then I will be seeing you after my lessons." I waved at her who rely nodded back as she cleaned up after herself. Despite all her grumbling, she had beco pretty well-adapted to living on her own and doing her chores, likely due to Kawako coming over to check on her. Still, this is helping in the long run, so it was okay.
Now that I was out of the house and making my way to school, I could take the ti to think back to my dream.
I knew it was probably a dream; I knew that it was just my senses playing tricks on . But it felt so real, being able to see her, to hold her and to hear her voice. Just those alone were enough to bring back my mories of the ti during the Grail War.
The mory of us eting for the first ti.
The mory of her going against Berserker.
The mory of us going on our only date.
The mory of her going against Gilgash.
And the mory of her swinging the sword of promised victory…
"THUT~ Bump!"
I stumbled slightly as I grabbed my chest hard, nearly knocking my head into a lamppost in the process. Before I could register what just happened the pain seed to have vanished completely without a trace, as though I did not have the sensation of having a sledgehamr hit my chest.
What the heck just happened?
...
"Finally! This is the last ti I am flying a budget airline!" Creed threw his arms in the air as he went through the door and collapsed on the sofa. "Honestly, who the hell ever thought of cramming every bloody kid in the sa area?! I would find that guy and shove my gun up his ass!"
"As much as I would love to see you do that, I ask that you conserve your ammo." Lyle replied as he and Galilei entered afterwards and shut the door after them. "We will need a lot of it later."
"Hmph!" Creed sat up on the sofa with a disgruntled expression. "You can say that easily since you were in a different area altogether, Lyle. Hell, all those cute stewardesses kept coming to you all the ti!"
"Sothing I am still getting irritated by." Lyle sighed heavily. "Honestly I was running out of excuses and stories to talk about with them. Why does every female co after ?"
"I do not know the reason, but I will advise that you control yourself, my son." Galilei said it with a smile so natural that it made Lyle cautious around him. "Rember, Lust is a sin. Do not fall into temptation, boy."
"I might take that into consideration if you were to do the sa regarding the Excalibur shards." Lyle replied back flatly and with an expression that made Creed drop his disgruntled expression and snigger uncontrollably. It was situations like this that Creed would get amused by, seeing straight-laced Lyle getting all snappy at soone higher-ranked than him.
For Galilei's part, he just chuckled lightly while making his way to one of the rooms. "Well, at least the establishnts of this country is quite nice. I think we can enjoy our stay here in comfort."
"Dibs on the mini-fridge!" Creed jumped up and went to the room with said fridge. Lyle rolled his eyes as he went to his own room. It was a good thing he looked through the establishnts of Japan and got the ones with the mini-fridges; Creed was at least a lot more manageable when under the influence of so of the drinks, and he knew the Galilei would like to have a glass or two of wine while pondering over so of their plans.
As for him, he would just take fruit punch until the end of the mission to keep sober.
