True High School DxD

Volume 1 Chapter 4

Life.4 I'll Always Save My Friend!

We returned from the beach to the Hyoudou Residence and reported the situation to the higher-ups as we let Ingvild sleep in one of the spare rooms prepared for visitors to use. In the top floor of the Hyoudou residence — the VIP room, we discussed our next moves with Maou Beelzebub-sama via a magic circle. But, it's clear what I must do! Beelzebub-sama said.

[About Nyx's actions...I planned to confirm this with all mythologies, and...we've got the permission of Olympus' current chief God, Apollon-dono.]

"—So that means..."

Beelzebub-sama replied clearly to Rias's question.

[They don't mind if it's [DxD] who defeats Nyx. However, they want you guys to seal her.]

—! That was good news! I thrust my right fist against the palm of my left hand! The chief God of that mythology — Apollon-san had given his permission! So that meant Olympus had also judged Nyx's actions. That being said, we didn't know the whereabouts of the enemy...and as such, we couldn't go out even if we wanted to. —Suddenly, there were two people who entered the room!

"Hmph, as expected, you guys ended up making a God your enemy, huh. As expected of you."

The one who said that was Cao Cao and — a man who brought along a huge black dog with him. The one who brought the black dog, Jin, was the leader of the Fallen Angel organisation Grigori's agent team [Slash Dog], Ikuse Tobio-san. He was dressed in a black combat suit, as well as a black coat. He was also a member of the anti-terrorist team [DxD].

"Cao Cao, and even Ikuse-san."

As I confirmed those two, Ikuse-san gave his greetings along with a particularly shocking piece of information.

"Hey, Hyoudou Issei-kun. I've brought you a piece of information. —It's Nyx's hiding place."

[—!]

Everyone was shocked in response to this! Of course! It was just what we needed right now after all! Cao Cao answered in response to this.

"While we were searching for the unknown Devils' birthplace...in other words, their bases in the human world, we found out that there were three of them. A lot of people could be seen coming in and out in one of those places, and we sensed the presence of a God-class being. Along with the information provided by the Olympus, it's highly possible that it's Nyx."

Are you serious?! I'm so grateful! Beelzebub-sama said.

[The 'investigation' that I asked Cao Cao to perform was to obtain this information. It'll be easier to deal with the unknown Devils if we know about their movements and bases. As such, I asked Cao Cao-kun's team, as well as Ikuse Tobio-kun's team, to investigate their bases both in the Underworld and the human world.]

I see! Those two teams were perfect for gathering information after all! As expected of them, they did manage to produce great results! By the way, it was really reassuring to see the power of [DxD]'s members once again at times like these. It was only natural to expect this from the lineup composed of people who deterred those with wicked thoughts. Cao Cao asked us one more time.

"You heard him. It's up to you guys whether you go or not, but...in the worst case scenario, Tobio, as well as I, will surely be ordered by the higher-ups to deal with them. But I'm sure you guys are already aware of that, right?"

"...So either we seal Ingvild, or dispose of her, huh?"

As I replied with such words, Cao Cao, as well as Ikuse-san, went 'Yes' as they answered with their eyes. Cao Cao said.
