The Esper Devil ( Esper OC X Highschool DxD )

Chapter 39 - A new ally?

"T-this is absurd..."

I say glaring with angry eyes the small group in front of me

"Are you really expecting me to just buy all this bullshit?"

The first to answer me is the tall white haired woman of amazonian proportions

"Oi! Watch ya frickin' tongue! Why the hell would we lie to you about any of this? Didn't Tatseyo told you to trust us?"

"Diz, control yourself!" - The old man barges in, but I was already talking back to her

"Saving the world? Really? A  truce between angels and devils?"

"What?! Are you not convinced? Tatseyo saw what happened, Aya-chan was a victim of them! Those guys are an actual threat to the balance of our world!"

I immediately shake my head

"To the balance of your world! We humans can take care of our own! If you wanna die you can go kill yourselves over there, but don't drag Tachan into this! Also, don't you call him by the first name like that! Who are you all to him anyway?"

At my question, the group goes silent. It seems that neither they fully understand the relation Tachan has with them

"What? No response? A bunch of espers turned devils by this hell-made tech! Why the hell does the Association not know about this already?! Once I get out of here I'll immedia-"

"You won't be doing anything."

An abrupt yet smooth interruption comes from the purple haired woman sitting opposite of me, she exudes a graceful yet powerful, they said her position was [Queen]. If all this crazy talk is true, then yeah, that's definitely the vibe she gives off and the fact that she's a telepath doesn't help. She's the only one here who really puts me on the edge.

"W-why wouldn't I?"

I ask, expecting to receive some sort of threat or an elaborate explanation, however, her response is cold and simple.

"Because that would put Tatseyo in danger."

It is my turn to go silent at her response as a chill runs down my body

"W-what are you talking about?"

I ask, however, deep down I already know the answer

The girl nonchalantly shrugs and answers with the same polite, yet firm tone

"Tatseyo has been working with us for a while now, he asked you to trust us and even went as far as lying to Lady Tatsumaki, Kageyama-san and the Esper Association itself. Do you believe that if you did warned the Association about this they wouldn't run an investigation and eventually find out Tatseyo's affiliation with us?"

Hearing her talk makes me clutch my hands and grit my teeth. Ughhh, she's right. She's definitely right. Even if I manage to get Tachan away from here, his ties with them already make him a target, but first of all, why the hell is he getting involved in this!?

"Y-you manipulated him! I don't know how but Tachan is different ever since he came to this town! Maybe that dark demon bimbo did something to him, maybe you all did! But this is not Tachan's fault!"

I retort desperately, right now my brain is racking for any reason as to why Tachan would be helping them.

"What the fuck did you just called Liliana-sama?!"

The white haired woman puts her fist forward as if she's about to leap through the room and jump me, however, this time the purple haired girl lifts her hand and a strong gust of wind is blown through the room
