"I am his senior at school and thus there is a relationship of support for him to grow and get a proper grip over his study and proper behaviors."
The boy blushed as I patted his shoulder. "I- I am not that bad-"
"You are if you have to be taken to the teachers with your 'naughty' behavior."
His blush worsened, the fact that he was a pervert still eluding the confused nun.
"Anyway, I was saying that the church was under Fallen Angels' control and- those are not the good kind of people within Grigori, Asia-san."
"B-But I thought that they were there by A-Azazel-san's order?"
I nodded partially at her outdated knowledge.
"This was the case at first, then their leader decided to rebel against him and try to steal the Sacred Gears she could get," I said while pointing at the boy. "Issei here has a Sacred Gear himself and was attacked a few days ago by the leader of the group here, left to die as his 'gift' was mistaken for something weak."
Issei flinched at the telling of his near-death experience and was taken by surprise as Asia quickly looked at him with a genuine worried look. "R-Really, Issei-san?"
"I-I almost died, yeah but-" The brunet tried to make some explanation, but his stuttered proved to be delaying much of the precious limited time we all had at the moment.
"I think I should explain that myself, Issei, since I know this circumstance in the bigger picture of things," I interrupted him, the boy frowning at the intrusion in that intimate closeness of theirs. "As the topic is fairly complex and it has to be… well-detailed."
The nun frowned. "W-What do you mean? Y-You think I could mistake something?"
"Kind of, yes," I replied with a calm tone, getting her frown to ease just a little bit with the warmth from my voice. "You see, Kuoh Town is currently the fief of the heiresses of two Devil Clans, the Gremory and the Sitri-"
"Y-You mean that Issei-san-?" Asia interjected as realization materialized on her face.
"Was turned in a Devil, yes," I interrupted again, knowing that if I let these two speak without much understanding over the weight of their words,
I might have to face some kind of fallout that I wasn't sure to be able to solve alone. "Previously a human, this young man has been recently thrown inside the big tug war."
Her innocent stare returned to the brunet and she frowned. "Y-You think that I would doubt the g-genuine helpfulness of Issei-san, Hoitsu-senpai?"
I blinked at the honorific and the stubborn tone behind her voice. She sure was picking up on these details fairly fast...
"I mean, without some context some people would be careful around a Devil," I explained with an appeasing note.
"No, I wasn't thinking you would do that that… I mean, you did heal a Devil before."
She blushed at the remark and nodded, accepting the quick explanation given.
This time it was Issei that spoke. "Senpai, you also mentioned that I had this 'Sacred Gear'. Buchou explained to me what it generally was but… she didn't know which one I had."
"The knowledge of one Sacred Gear's identity can be given by the power the object make use of.
I would be lying in saying that I knew precisely the true identity of yours with just a look, but I did found your energy pattern… unique,"
I carefully explained, trying to bring some logical reasoning behind my discovery instead of blowing my SI cover.
"Rather similar to how a dragonic one should feel like and, since you are hardly someone driven by logic to be considered the Host of the Vanishing Dragon,
but by heart and emotion, I would say you have the Red Welsh Dragon."
…
"W-What?"
I sighed as I knew I had to go fairly deeper in the lore since Issei didn't knew about the other Sacred Gears.
"The Red Dragon Emperor is part of the 13 Longinus. The Boosted Gear is how it's known commonly,"
I continued to explain, careful to not rush too many things at once. "Differently from Asia's Twilight Healing,
This is a very powerful Sacred Gear and it is considered to be one of the few ones that could manage to kill the Satans if its full potential is unlocked."
"B-But how does it work?" The brunet asked, a little awed by the description. "I can form the gauntlet but-"
"You ended up with a very lazy Dragon within yourself, Ise." My comment surprised both teens and I smiled smugly as I continued. "You see,
Ddraig is not as helpful as Albion is as he sleep all-day and has the least victory against his rival. I wonder why he is considered a Heavenly Dragon if he is that dumb."
Issei blinked, his eyes widening the more the words left my mouth and he let out a nervous chuckle as his gauntlet formed right as I finished this little session of roasting.
Asia blinked in surprise at the appearance of the dragonic arm on her new friend, but I think she was mostly taken by what I was trying to do here.
I was glad that there weren't many people there and that the workers were all sitting inside and chatting away while waiting for some other clients, thus unable to see what was going on here.
"U-Uh, senpai, I think you should-"
But the teen's plea fell deaf as I continued.
"And let us not forget about the time he and Tiamat went-"
"Okay! That is enough, Magician!"
The sudden outburst coming from the Boosted Gear ended up making me crack a smile at the familiar voice. "And here is the sleeping drake-"
"Desist from going through that spiel, I know what you are trying to do here by trying to get a reaction on me."
I raised a brow at that. "Truly? Then pray tell, what do I want from you?"
"Support, help and… power-"
