The Maniac of DxD (Highschool dxd insert/ semi-crack): Chapter 23

To every species out there that says that humans are weak and don’t deserve anything, I dare them to come and meet Vasco Strada face to face

To every species out there that says that humans are weak and don’t deserve anything, I dare them to come and meet Vasco Strada face to face.

Even with his elderly age, I can’t help but feel intimidated by this huge slab of muscle and holy energy.

Seriously, this guy's holy energy reserves and mastery are so large that my Senjutsu is going haywire and urging me to escape despite this kind old man keeping his power under check.

It is only the assurance that I have that he will not attack me that I still sit in this room.

……Then again, that assurance means nothing when the other occupant of this room is glaring at me with righteous fury.

I really don’t know how Michael still remained an Angel despite the pure killing intent rolling off of him along with his glare at me.

I call hacks. HACKS, I SAY!!

“Well then, Mr. Ren, shall we get to what we are here to do?”

At the kind old man’s words, I just nodded, pointedly ignoring the angry glares of the Seraph in the room.

The old man smiled at me before pointing towards my shirt.

“Aren’t you forgetting something? Mr. Ren?”

“….I don’t know what you mean.”

“The hidden camera in your shirt’s button.”

“…Oh! Looks like I forgot to remove that. Sorry.”

Even a child would not believe the lie I just spoke, and given the way the old man was chuckling and the Archangel was glaring at me even more, they didn’t, either.

Despite the deal I made with Lucifer and Leviathan, I could not help but try and see if I could record this meeting and edit it to take out a few details before posting it on my channel, keeping my word in the deal while also putting this juicy gossip on my channel for my followers.

Unfortunately, it would seem that this old man thought just like me and probably checked my body with whatever technique he had to spot my hidden camera.

A shame really.

When I took off the camera and put it away in my bag, Vasco Strada signaled his subordinate to bring in the main victi-I mean, guest, for today’s meeting.

“As you were already briefed by Lucifer and Leviathan, Heaven has made a deal with the Underworld and the Grigori to try and attain a permanent peace between our factions. However, there are many amongst our ranks who are opposed to this.”

I nodded my head at those words since I knew exactly who were opposing this peace talk between the factions across the board.

For the devils, it’s the minor noble families, the Old Satan Faction, and even a few of the Pillar Families who opposed this.

For the Archangels, it was a considerably better situation with only a portion of low ranking angels opposing this change.

However, in the case of the Angels, a large majority of lower ranking Angels and a significant amount of mid-ranking Angels were opposed to this peace between the factions. Especially the angels that are loyal to the deceased Archangel Metatron, who view Michael’s push for peace as heretical and accuse him of being a traitor.

Needless to say, it was these fanatics and some of the Church’s high-ranking members who orchestrated that incident between one of their Exorcists falling in love with a Devil, which resulted in the death of both of them and a political disaster of epic proportions.

Michael, while still glaring at me, spoke seriously at my nod.

“In light of this situation, we have decided that we will prove that it is possible for the three factions to coexist through the younger generation.”

Again, I nodded at his words since I already knew all of this, thanks to the Leviathan telling me this plan before.

Actually, since I already know the plan, why are these two still repeating it to me?

Vasco Strada chuckled as he must have read my expressions.

“We are telling you this because there are few details that we asked the Leviathan to leave out when she proposed your participation in this plan of ours.”

………That sounds ominous.

What did that big boobed magical girl leave out? And is the detail beneficial or harmful to me.

I swear, if this deal is going to affect me adversely, I’ll do anything in my power to bring down the rating of her show and make her into a joke across the world.

Suddenly, the door to our right opened and two exorcists walked forward, accompanied by a girl that was probably a year or two younger than me.

With golden hair and green eyes, she looked extremely innocent and naïve with the way she stared with great reverence at the Archangel and the strongest human on the planet.

Surprisingly, Vasco Strada gave the girl a fond and caring look as he beckoned her forward, much like a grandfather would do to his granddaughter.

….Do I smell a scandal within the halls of the Church? Particularly including the strongest exorcist of the church having a granddaughter?

How exciting! I need to find out the truth as soon as possible lest my inquisitive and nosy nature keep me from having a proper sleep for days on end!

I spotted Michael have a similar look in his eyes as his wings brightened just a bit within her presence as Holy energy radiated from him and entered the girl’s body without her notice, nourishing her health and power.

…..Ok, I really need to know what this girl’s relationship is with these two!!

“This is Asia Argento. We have already briefed her about the situation. She is the current wielder of Twilight Healing and will accompany you back to Kuoh town as part of this trial to see if we can put aside the problems of the past for the sake of a bright future.”

In other words, you are using this girl as a sacrificial piece for the sake of your goals.

“Of course, we are not stupid enough to send her alone and without any protection into Devil territory. So, she will be accompanied by two other exorcists who can look after her and keep her safe.”

….That’s a little better. This means that Argento is not a sacrificial piece and has some significance to her within the Church.

I could use that to my advantage should push come to shove.

Putting that aside, I need to talk about the elephant in the room.

I turned towards the two exorcists that had brought Argento into the room, watching the proud looks on their faces as Vasco Strada spoke about sending someone for Argento’s protection.

It doesn't take much to realize that these two are the ones that Vasco is talking about.

But I have a question for the Archangel and the strongest human, one that must be answered on camera.

I took out a camera directly, immediately causing the Archangel and the bishop to tense as I spoke without giving them the chance to say anything.

“From what I gathered, these two girls are exorcists of the church, correct?”

Before the angel and the bishop could do any damage control, the underage exorcists spoke with pride.

“That is correct! Xenovia and I are accomplished exorcists in training and are supposed to graduate very soon.”

Good! These girls are walking right into my trap!

…..Wait a minute, why is my phrasing going out of whack again!?

Shaking my head and pushing the dirty nature of my mind for a later time, I focused on the juicy topic that I finally found that I could air without worries.

“In that case, what do you have to say about the talk that the Church is full of perverts that like watching little girls in tight outfits!?”

“Bullshit! The Church is the direct representation of God, and we are all his followers! It would be heretical for anyone to indulge in such things!”

I nodded my head seriously at the word of the blue-green-haired girl called Xenovia and looked between the skin-tight body suit she and her fellow exorcist wore before turning to the embarrassed-looking Bishop, Vasco Strada, and facepalming Archangel, Michael.

I grinned at the camera and spoke the words that would no doubt doom the church’s reputation.

“There you have it, folks! According to the young exorcist here, the use of skin-tight suits on underage girls is considered something of religious significance and not the result of a bunch of pedophiles in high positions.”

The way my cahtbox exploded with emojis and expletives is enough to tell me that my stream is about to go viral again, satisfuing my gossip hungry soul.

Although, given the glare now directed at me by both Vasco Strada and Michael, I might have to pay a price for this.

Was this worth the pain of crossing these two absurdly powerful people?

……Nah! The memes and Lols that I’ll receive after this already make it definitely worth it!
