Fate DxD

Chapter 60

"Very well. A patrol was in pursuit, we're still waiting for their reports." Daisuke explained, noting down everything Gen had said.

"Hoping they're still alive." Said Gen, massaging his shoulder that had been treated a few moments ago by Asia.

"It's all clear Daisuke-san, all the Eighths left behind have either been arrested or sent to hospital." Announced the old beret-wearing policeman.

"Ah thank you Tagonaka-san... Hm? Sakaki-san isn't with you?"

"The youngster is still downstairs, he stayed with the kids, they're really worked up about it." He remarks.

"And you're surprised?!" Minori, who had just been tapping her foot without saying anything, suddenly stood up. "Their comrade just got kidnapped and you're surprised they're so pissed off?! How should I take it?!" The rage can be read on her face.

"Calm down Minori! They're trying to help us out, I'll have you know!" Gen interjects.

"Minori-san, I completely understand the state you're in, but we have no choice but to wait. We'll soon be know where they're hiding, and from there we can launch an offensive." Tagonaka explains.

"One of my students got kidnapped right in front of me and I'm asked to wait, that's the best one yet." Minori steps back and stands at the window.

"And then there's something else to worry about. Senji, if he ever finds out that one of his friends has been kidnapped, he's going to blame himself. We need to know where he is." Daisuke adds.

"He doesn't answer any calls, whether they're ours, his guardian's or his friends'. We don't know where he is or what he's doing." Replies Gen.

"If the Eighth have come this far, it's a guarantee that they haven't found Senji Emiya yet, which is good news in itself." Nezu, the school principal, enters the room. "Now we have to save Shinozuka Youta as quickly as possible."

"Nezu-sensei... That's what I'm trying to make these two cops understand, but they'd rather wait and see how things develop! How stupid!" Minori bangs on her desk.

"No more waiting." Nezu is followed by the 3rd Hokage. "The report is in. They're holed up in the port hangars."

"Hokage-sama!" The two policemen and Gen bowed as they saw the old man enter the room.

"They're hiding over there huh... So what are we waiting for?!" Minori grows impatient.

"Nothing at all, I'm going to call the heroes and shinobi present in town, it's time to end their reign of terror in the state of Konoha." Affirms the 3rd Hokage.

"I prefer this, let's go!"

Minori quickly exits, closely followed by Gen, but once outside are stopped by a group of students.

"Sorry!" Sakaki steps forward, embarrassed. "I tried to stop them but it's almost impossible alone."

"What are you kids doing here? Go home, the school is closed until further notice." Minori orders.

"Minori-sensei, you're going to save Youta-san aren't you?" Inaho asks.

"Um yes but..."

"Then let us accompany you!" Says Kai

"I'm sorry youngsters, but you're only apprentice shinobis, you can't intervene alongside professional heroes and shinobis. So please, stay safely at home and don't make me worry about you for nothing." Minori asks.

"It's not just about Youta-san, is it? Those who attacked the school are after Senji-kun aren't they?" Chacha asks.

"Please, let us help you! These are our comrades we're talking about!" Said Uruchi.
