Fate DxD

Chapter 61

In front of the warehouse where the Eighths are hiding, numerous police units take up position, taking cover behind their vehicles and letting the assault team pass in front.

"Um, wouldn't it be wiser to leave the heroes and shinobi at the front rather than the cops?" Usui asks.

"I agree with you, but Superintendent Ayanokouji Kaito sees things differently..." Aki clenches her fists as she says this.

"Is this really the time to respect procedures? It's really something I don't understand..." Chacha sighs.

"Senji-sama..." Inaho worried, but remained focused.

"Well, I have confirmation that Senji isn't far away, Lilu-chan, Aililu-chan, it's up to you." Ayaka orders.

The twin sisters nod, then concentrate, synchronizing their energy to create a huge bubble around the port, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

"It's starting youngsters, stay attentive." Kakashi said.

"..." Sasuke remained silent, throwing his attention to the assault team slowly approaching the warehouse.

"Ayaka-sensei just said Senji-kun is here? I hope he doesn't try anything stupid." Sakura worries.

"Are you Senji Emiya? I'm Superintendent Ayanokoji, I'd like to ask you a few questions."

"The police? What do you want from us?" Ryuji asks.

"Ryuji Maesaka, isn't it? No offense, but it's Emiya we're interested in." Explains the superintendent.

"What?!" He still gets a little annoyed.

"Shuka, we have a visitor. Drop the observation and get on with the plan. I'm entrusting command to Rain." I warn her.

"Pff, okay got it!"

"Be careful Shuka, the police may have posted snipers nearby!" Rain takes over.

"Get ready to start and radio me if they give me any bullshit." I whisper to Ryuji.

"All right, big chief!"

I give him an unpleasant look, then get out of the car and walk towards the two policemen.

"This is our first meeting, Superintendent. Your colleague, I've already seen him twice, first at my home, and then during the Shibuya event." I take the lead in the conversation.

"By the way, thank you, it's thanks to you that I survived!" He greets me.

"Yes, I see my advice has served you well, so much the better. On the other hand, I never thought I'd see two policemen outright taking part in Darwin's Game." I frown, before putting on a serene face again. "Are you here to handcuff me?"

"Very funny!" Exclaims the superintendent. We've just come to ask you a few questions, if you'll cooperate! Unless you have any illegal activities to confess to?"

"No, not that I know of, I make a point of remaining a model shinobi apprentice."

(I can easily imagine the list of offenses committed in Darwin's Game, and even before... Assault and battery, homicide, breaking and entering, illegal use of powers in a public area... And let's not even talk about all the things that happened when I was following Kiritsugu... that would make for a nice criminal record.)

"I suppose it was you, who called in all those agents, heroes and shinobi to lay siege to the warehouse. However, I didn't expect you to bring along students and teachers from the Kuoh school..." I look in their direction, worried.
