Chapter 20: Chapter 20 – Dance of Devil and Exorcist

“It hurts!” a voice of Freed was sounded as the cloud of dust dissipated. His dusted figure while holding a light sword and a gun has a scowl on his face.

“For a devil to go this far! I will kill you!!” Freed was rushing towards the one nearest to his position, Issei.

But, before he could reach him, Koneko threw one seat again from the back and blocked his way. Freed jumped back before rushing again only to meet a slash from Kiba. He hurriedly blocked Kiba’s slash with his own light sword as his expression twisted in a crazy smile.

“Hahaha, you are strong for a low-ranked devil! Now, Die!” As he said that, he pointed his gun towards Kiba’s temple and shot it.

With a reflex worthy of a Devil with Knight piece, Kiba dodges the bullet with a backflip. Taking the chance, Koneko rushed towards Freed and throw a punch that was connected to his face, he was blown away from the force as he shouted.

“It hurt!” His figure was flying towards the wall below me, making the wall shakes uncontrollably from his collision. A cloud of dust was created from that and hid Freed’s figure once again.

‘Whoa! That was dangerous. I almost fell because of the shake!’

I looked down and saw Freed rushed towards the side of the church by exploiting the dust to hide his figure. He sent a barrage of bullets to Issei from the side but was blocked by Koneko’s body.

The fight continues with Kiba exchanging a barrage of slashes with Freed with Issei and Koneko supporting him from behind.

It was getting boring. Freed was blown away for the third time and pulled out something from his back pocket.

“I was at a disadvantage so bye-bye, I will kill you next time!” He slammed that something to the ground and created a bright flash of light.

The devils can’t look directly at the flash of light and missed Freed’s figure that jumped away from the location. On the contrary, I could see him clearly as he run away from the church.

‘Well, the fight was boring. If that’s their level, then I could win without sweating. I should test my ability against exorcists, I get a free target after all.’

I jumped down from my sitting location and run in the direction of Freed. This is a nice chance, Youkai is a dark creature and weak to light like a devil. So I wanted to try how much the light sword could injure me and how much the light affected me.

‘Thankfully Kiba didn’t use his Sacred Gear to destroy Freed’s sword like in the canon. Well, there are lots of light swords in the underground but that place is nasty and I would like to avoid nasty places if possible. Kuroka is sensitive to smell and would avoid me if I smelled bad after all.’

As I thought about that, I finally catch up to Freed. He run towards the woods near the church and started to walk when he entered it. I followed him into the woods and I saw Freed stop moving and sit under one of the trees and let out a sigh. 

With him stopping on his track and sitting down, I jumped on top of the tree in front of him and watched his next move.

I bet he was thinking that he was safe after running this far from the devils, well he is though.

I had no attachment to the devils so I don’t care about his enemy or something like that. I would kill them if they mess with me or my girls, but other than that I prefer neutral stances with them. My duty is to watch over them, not antagonize them or help them.

The story would be different if Kokabiel or other Devils entered this territory with ill intentions. I will kill them in that case. Kokabiel was betraying Grigori and announcing it, unlike Raynare. So that would brand him as strays and I will be able to kill him without endangering the Youkai's stance in the supernatural.

The Nekomata incident was also resolved by Lady Amaterasu without me knowing anything about the profit. For the dead of the head of the Naberius clan, Kuroka was branded as SS-Class Stray devil and Shirone or Koneko was almost executed.

They negotiated their terms and Lady Amaterasu managed to get territory in the Underworld for Youkai and Shinto Faction while the Devils asked to lend this Kuoh Town to be part of their territory on Earth. .

‘I was given permission to hurt the devils if they do anything suspicious in this territory after all. I must do something to Kokabiel too. I am interested in Excalibur though, how strong is Excalibur shard compared to my Nenekirimaru. Well, lots of things that I wanted to test.’

“Aah~ I want to kill those devils!”

He grumbled to himself as he leaned his back against the tree and put his arm in his knees as he looked up at the sky.

‘Umu, this is my chance to appear with cool lines.’

I reduced the fear that surround my body and made my presence known.

“Oya, there is an exorcist sitting in the dirt. Are you lost by chance?” I jumped off the tree as I said that and crossed my arms inside my kimono.

He immediately stood up and pulled his sword from his back as he glared at me cautiously. I approached him slowly while I looked at him with one eye and a smug smile on my face.

“Do you want me to escort you back to the church? Oh, I forgot that devils have attacked the church. How about I take you to my apartment instead?”

He finally took out his gun and shot at me while aiming at my head. The shot was connected, and it hit right in the middle of my head, between my eyes. Unfortunately for him, he only hit my fake images. My figures melted in a black cloud and I re-appeared beside my melted figure and said.

“That’s not good. You can’t interrupt me while I am talking, Stray Exorcist-san.”

“Who are you, your smell is different from those devils!”

“Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. Nice to meet you then, I am a youkai, the watcher of those devils.”

I called my Nenekirimaru, held the scabbard with my left hand as I unsheathed the sword with my right hand, making a slashing motion in front of me.

I smiled at him while holding my Nenekirimaru with its tip pointed at the ground and said.

“And I hope we won’t get along.”
