"Niichan, are you..."
"I'm awake," I continued calmly. "And clearly alive."
She blinked, leaning a little bit forward and… pressing her forehead by my cheek.
"Really?"
Frowning at the curt query, I nuzzled at her. "Pretty sure about that, imouto."
"Baraqiel-san said you almost died."
…
"I almost did," I confessed softly. "Got quite the scare and the beating. But I'm still up and feeling mostly well."
A smile finally appeared on her face.
"I told him that my Niichan is too strong," Kunou pointed out cutely. "And I was right."
I sighed happily. "Yep."
The next couple of hours were quite slow. Starting from the fact that I had to wake up the clingy Kimiko without sparking some fright out of her, to the point where I had to recollect every single word I got from Lucifer and ponder what I was meant to do with these details.
Despite it being an important topic that I had to treat as quickly as I could with a serious mindset, I decided to give priority to the current morning situation.
Trying to get Kimi-chan to stop with her nibbling and biting as to check that I was really awake and that it wasn't a dream proved to be both hilarious and kind of painful.
The bites were restrained and I hardly felt her sharp teeth coming close to press to much in my arms, but I could feel the intensity building up with the continuous affectionate efforts turning quite difficult to handle.
Thankfully the fiery girl calmed down as I was done with the bathroom and she was allowed to settle by her comfy position. Inside my shirt with her head nuzzling constantly under my chin.
It was her favorite spot, and one that made me think of Kimiko as a little child trying to stay the closest possible to their parents.
In this case, by keeping close to me, she could easily watch over her 'Papa' whenever I went.
Once I greeted Baraqiel while I was settling down today's breakfast by the table, I noticed that the man was holding what looked to be a sturdy modest-sized box in his right hand.
I inquired about it, and the only answer I got in return was that it was meant for me.
I frowned deeply when he also mentioned that it was a reward from Azazel for 'being an utter idiot and face certain death… and surviving hit by sheer dumb luck'.
As I went to open the tiny crate, I stopped at the sight revealed to me as I removed the upper section. I reached for the tube-like object in there and froze in surprise at what I was holding onto.
I activated the hilt of what turned to be a lightsaber. And no, I wasn't referring to one similar to the one I had lost.
This one… it had a slimmer appearance. The classic DxD lightsaber had that 'saber' element that made its name genuinely legitimate.
But right now, the one I now had in my possession, was clearly the fruit of Azazel's fascination for stronger equipment and him being a geek over Star Wars.
And I wasn't complaining. The thing seemed to burn brighter than the one I had to destroy and there were numerous 'bigger batteries' to fuel the device for a long time.
Ignoring this little parenthesis were I had to put my entire self from not gawk like an idiot over the absurdly powerful and undeniably good gift from the Governor-General,
I expected for the remainder of the day, and hopefully of the entire week, to go uneventful for a curious novelty coming from Baraqiel.
The Fallen Angel mentioned that Azazel was going to publicly visit Kuoh Town to check on the Grigori's garrison in there.
And that I was going to be assigned as part of the Garrison for the time being considering my availability in the area.
With that thought in mind, I was quite surprised when, as I prepared the last few things I needed to put in my school bag, the doorbell gave two quick rings.
I paused in minor confusion at the known noises, and I went to check myself at the door while Kunou finished preparing her own bag.
The very moment I opened the door, I half-expected Koneko and Akeno waiting there to make a surprise visit.
Instead, I found myself quickly pulled in a hug by a familiar individual that was neither the dark-haired young woman, nor the silver-haired kohai.
With my eyes widening and my body tensing up in visible shock, I could only give a nod at the placid expression Tiamat was giving me a couple of meters away. Ingvild giggled as I finally wrapped my arms around her waist.
Did I miss something? And how big of a thing did I miss?!
The girl leaned back a bit and sported a polite smile. "Good morning, Hoitsu-kun."
It was fluent Japanese. I found myself blinking in surprise at that.
"M-Morning," I blurted quietly, my brain finally recovering from the surprised. "Ingvild, I… I wasn't told that you-"
"The Governor-General has decided to settle both Lady Leviathan and Tiamat in Kuoh Town,"
Baraqiel interjected as he approached the doorstep. "It was a decision that stems from the fact that Rizevim has shown interest in Ingvild.
By keeping her in this part of Japan it would make things difficult for any other attackers trying kidnap her again."
"And I'm living close to Hoitsu-kun," The girl added with a bright note pending by her smile. "I'm still a little nervous that I might… not fit well. While I did study Japanese a lot since I left Germany, I'm not sure that I'm that good."
"You are fluent," I remarked positively. "And you shouldn't be nervous about it. Also, did you get enrolled in Kuoh Academy?"
My sudden question erupted from the very moment I noticed that she was wearing the standard uniform to the school.
She nodded. "Azazel said that it would've been good for me if I lived like others my age do and… I always wondered how school worked."
