Chapter 71: 71

"Asia-san, when I said that Strada-sama took your investigation seriously, I really meant it. Strada-sama read the data and tried to find a flaw in his accusation. He looked for the appearance of the devil by asking the priest that the He saw it. He healed it, and after that, he searched it through the Church data and found something. He found a flaw…" Ewald took a packet of documents from the folder before placing them on the table.

They started reading the papers on the table.

Each was a record of a nun who was excommunicated from the church for having healed a Devil.

"My...God" Gilgamesh sighed in mid-reading.

He knew what Diodora was doing, but he still couldn't help but be irritated.

"What happened?" asked Valerie and Mordred from behind Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh gave the papers for them to read.

"What do they all have in common?" asked the King of Heroes with anger in his voice.

"They were all exiled because of…" Valerie trailed off as her eyes widened in shock and disbelief. I had no doubt she was already aware of it, even Asia was able to mount her when she blew out a breath and had tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

"No..." Asia whimpered weakly.

"All of them were exiled due to contact with a devil, and according to the witnesses Strada-sama was able to gather, the devil's appearance coincides exactly with what is there." Ewald pointed to Diodora's information on the table: "All of them happened within four years, 15 Holy Maiden (Holy Maiden) exiled or excommunicated due to making contact with him and then we never saw them again."

Even I was still in the midst of disbelief and shock. I could hear Asia begin to sob, and Valerie and Mordred had already moved to comfort her, while Ewald silently stared at Asia with pity.

Enkidu and Sebas hadn't moved but I could feel their power rising with anger.

Then the house shook.

Gilgamesh's power began to pour out in waves.

The power of the greatest hero along with a celestial dragon began to leak out in waves making the house shake.

Reacting to his master's anger Arashi began to unleash his power along with Regulus and Ddraig.

Around Japan natural disasters began to occur.

The waters of the sea began to invade the land, storm clouds generated storms and hailstorms that destroyed cities, tornadoes swept across the land destroying everything they found, gigantic blizzards began to change the country's climate, large-scale earthquakes extended to the sea, lightning and thunder fell upon the land, even the city of Kuoh was enveloped by a sudden great storm with gigantic torrents of water falling from the sky.

All of Japan was immersed in this gigantic power, which could be described as nature's own fury bringing its power over the earth.

Inside the house the power went out too, the ground had a sudden drop in temperature to the point of ice forming around the house and the water droplets in the air were visible.

Everyone was having difficulty breathing.

Until a hand is placed on your shoulder.

"Gil calm down," Enkidu said seriously to his friend.

If the power of Gilgamesh continues to go out, all the Factions in the world would know about it, there is no doubt that the Shinto Faction would try to find the source of it, but with the barrier they would not be able to find them.

Gilgamesh calmed down thus making the disasters around Japan stop saving thousands of lives.

Looking around Gilgamesh saw the shocked faces of everyone.

"Geez, Gilgamesh... You scared us too much... Seriously." Valerie sighed as she shook her head in exasperation.

"Hahaha! Sorry, sorry." Gilgamesh chuckled shyly before taking a look at his surroundings and turning pale: "I just increased the damage, didn't I?" He asked with a visible frown on his face and Mordred nodded, looking amused.

Regaining his composure, Gilgamesh turned to look at the Father, who had been shocked until then.

"Anyway, all these files aside... Do you want to use these files as proof of Asia's innocence?" He asked Ewald, who had been silent since that outburst.

The cardinal's hand pulled away from the sword and his muscles relaxed after seeing that there was no more danger.

"Yes, this evidence might not be strong enough to blame the devil if we would lead to an argument with the devils side, however seeing the Church is also quite paranoid towards devils, we can use it..."

"He plans to use the Church's hatred against Devils. Vasco is still very smart and cunning," Gilgamesh thinks with a smile.

"That's acceptable," said Gilgamesh as he leaned on his left hand.

"Well then it's settled!" Ewald waved at them before taking a paper and handing it over.

"Please contact this number, if you are finished, I will visit your home in a moment."

Gilgamesh picked up the newspaper and looked at the numbers. "So are we done?"

"We are done." Ewald confirmed. "However, can I ask a question?"

"You already did." Gilgamesh pointed as he smiled, causing Ewald's eyebrows to twitch: "Just kidding, ask..." He stated.

"Thanks." Ewald said with a false and sincere tone before his face turned serious.

"Judging by your tone and expression... It's clear you've met this devil, am I right?"

If Gilgamesh was surprised, he didn't show it, as his face remained stoic. He should wait to see who he was dealing with. It was Ewald Cristaldi they were talking about, a veteran warrior and a man who had his own legend and imprint in the books of the fallen angel and the devils.

"Yes... In fact, a week ago, this devil came here and proposed to Asia." Gilgamesh nodded, making Ewald's expression dark.

"I see…I expected him to do something like that, no doubt he planned to 'save' Asia-san from the reach of the fallen angels." Ewald said in a knowing tone, "What is this devil's name?"

"Diodora Astaroth." Gilgamesh replied, not trying to hide. He knew that Ewald was also very angry inside.

Ewald's eyes widened at that. Astaroth. Ah, he knew that name very well, it was the family of the current Beelzebub. That changed everything. It was hard to get that devil because of his position. He couldn't just kill him without good reason or proof.

"It complicates things, seeing how he's a Maou's brother, doesn't it?" Gilgamesh asked with a small smile and Ewald smiled back.

"No, there isn't..." Ewald replied in the same tone before sighing.

"What are you going to do with him?" Gilgamesh asked.

"As much as I want to kill this devil, I can't. Not only is he a brother of the current Beelzebub, but the evidence and files we have will not be enough to indict him. If we killed him, the blame would fall on us. Ewald said as he gestured to the files and folders he had, thankfully just dazzled by the earlier explosion.

Gilgamesh looks at the files. Ewald was right. All of this evidence was clearly not enough to accuse Diodora and ensure that he was punished. They needed more, something bigger so they could get him.

[New Quest]

[Title: Pests in My Backyard.]

-Description: Kill Diodora Astaroth.

-Reward: 50,000 Gold, 1,000 Exp, Kankara Formula, Sword Magic.

Upon seeing the mission, a predatory smile appears on Gilgamesh's face.

"I think you have a plan?" asks the priest when he sees Gilgamesh's smile.

"Oh yes…but I need your cooperation. Are you willing to work with us?" Gilgamesh asked and Ewald blinked before letting out a hum as he rubbed his chin.

His mission was just to recover Asia, to do that was too dangerous and risky, and it wasn't on his to-do list either. While Ajuka Beelzebub showed no great affection for his siblings, minus his younger sister whom he loved, such as Serafall Leviathan and Sirzechs Lucifer, he obviously defended Diodora.

This was dangerous... He wasn't playing with normal fire here, but a great feat of hellfire and, given his situation on this secret mission, he was also already walking on thin ice.

But on the other hand, if he were successful, it would worsen the reputation of the devils and also the Church would be able to rub it in their faces... And it would also prevent another devil from trying to steal or corrupt someone from the Church.

"Tell me your plan first..."
