Part 1
I feel my cheeks burn hotter than any flame, Tachan's words still echoing in my head
Ayumu, do you like me?
Uwaaahhhh! That idiot! Dummy! Stupid! How am I supposed to focus on the mission now that he just dropped that bomb on me?!
O-of course I'm happy, but what am I supposed to do now?!
"...Ayumu? You okay kid?"
Azazel's voice brings me back from my anguished thoughts
"A-ah, yes! Just thinking some things over..."
"Alexander's troops and Tatseyo's dad will be here soon, are you ready?"
I nod, pushing my anxieties to the back of my mind
"U-understood... Leave Kageyama-san to me"
We still don't know what abilities Alexander has, but I'm still confident I can fight them if they are on the same level as the other Hero Faction executives, but having to fight them and their soldiers while still trying to convince Kageyama-san might be too hard...
"Can Serafall-dono hold Lady Tatsumaki back while we are here?"
He laughed
"Don't worry, Tatseyo's mother might be a tough nut, but don't underestimate the Maou Leviathan, she also has some of the underworld's finest fighters with her, though I still ask of you to do it as quick as possible. Forcing them to fight while holding back as the woman who almost killed Arjuna is going all out wiht Napoleon's backup will be hard even for a Maou and their peerage"
"I know..."
With what I understand of Kageyama-san he's going to listen to me, even if he doesn't exactly agree with it. Tatsumaki-san is a different matter...
A magic circle appeared near Azazel's ears and he tapped into it
"It seems we got company, Alexander and his soldiers are coming through the land with Kageyama and a group of magic casters scouting the skies, my men can't even get close without risk getting killed"
I gulp down loudly
So it's now...
"I'll go to the front."
Azazel nods at my request and signed to his troops
"Everyone follow my lead! We'll hold Alexander's advance, no one is allowed to back down!"
The fallen angels shout their battlecry as they open their wings and the dark feathers engulf the sky
They fly in the opposite direction of Kageyama-san, while I go alone towards him.
There was a small dot in my field of vision that gradually becomes larger untill Kageyama-san's figure becomes clear
He had a group of soldiers following him and, of course, Alexander was with him as well, riding on a flying golden chariot that gives off the glow of magic being pulled by a monstrous black horse that looked more like a beast than an animal
"Ah, there goes nothing"
I mutter, trying to calm myself down while our encounter becomes inevitable
Kageyama-san and Alexander seem to have stopped mid-air as I got closer, he likely noticed me
"Ayumu-kun? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the temple?"
"Ayumu? Did something happened?" - Alexander asks
