Chapter 77: Zolgear's complete defeat. The reason for secrecy, the Biblical God's Veil of Protection
"Damn!"
Zolgear cursed, With his experience and seniority, if he was caught in such a trap, it would take a long time to destroy the core, much less find it.
But this woman who thought she was just a human driver surprised him.
When he noticed that the driver was going to deal with him, he had already thought of escaping. He looked around for Zest to use as a distraction. But he remembered that she had just been swallowed by the earth when two little girls appeared and took her away.
And that's why he cursed.
'It seems that this guy, Zolgear, will be left here. Although he has done bad things to follow the orders of his superiors, but knowing his history, it cannot be said that he is a being of innate evil. It is just the circumstances of life, but in the end, one is the one who takes his own path. Well, he is not a beautiful girl like Blood Raven, so I have no interest in saving him...'
Christel thought so much to justify himself, but in the end she knows that he is a selfish man.
In the blink of an eye, the driver arrived in front of Zolgear and with a fist, conjured a kind of snake formed from water.
The snake pierced Zolgear's chest, who couldn't make a sound, his entire chest had disappeared.
Thanks to the Sitri family's water magic, which they are experts at. Neither blood nor anything unpleasant showed.
Everyone, even Christel, was amazed by the strength of this driver. Basara felt that he could not defeat her in a one-on-one fight. Even when facing Zolgear, he doubted his victory, but with the sisters Mio and Maria, they could win after a hard fight.
But this simple driver who was in charge of picking them up and sending them to school...
Basara didn't know who he became a neighbor and classmate of.
Zolgear could only fall on his back with his eyes open, there was no time for remorse. His vitality disappeared instantly.
The host then made some quick formations on the floor with the water element around Zolgear's corpse, and in a flash, his body disappeared.
Christel deduced that the body was transported to the Sitri family in the Demon Realm. It seems that they studied the body.
'Akumas and Demons are related? Sometimes it's annoying not to seem to know about their existence, you can't ask anything...'
Christel didn't look sorry at all, as she laid peacefully against Lala and rested her face on the soft, fluffy pillows.
"Okay, everything is finished, we have to get back in the car and go quickly to school..."
"Wow, Major Mizugami, you are so powerful, how did we never know!"
Maria ran and took the driver by the arm.
"Very strong," Mio also said in amazement.
Momo got out of the car and also praised loudly.
"Senior Mizugami, you're great! What kind of attack was that. It was wonderful."
"Mmm, Amazing" Even Nana praised.
"Hehe~ it's nothing, come on up quickly, it's getting late to go to class"
"Basara, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up or we will leave you."
Maria noticed Basara, who seemed to be frozen. He held a large, black sword in his hand, and because of the fight with Zest, his clothes were in disarray and there were dirt stains everywhere.
"Come on, little Hero, if I wanted to hurt you, I would have already done so and you wouldn't be able to resist. As long as you don't do anything against Miss Christel-sama and Young Master Sona-sama, you won't be my enemy."
When Basara heard him call him -little hero- he knew that his identity was more than investigated.
But he believed the driver's words. So he got into the car to follow them to the Academy. He would have to talk to his aunt later. There was also the matter of this high-level Zolgear and why he came for Miss Mio.
"Mizugami, Lala and the sisters are also under your protection?" Momo asked timidly. She caught Nana's attention, but Lala didn't care about this.
"Miss Christel-sama's entire family is under the protection of Major Serafall-sama, so you don't have to worry about your safety."
"That's good." Momo patted her chest, and Nana relaxed as well. Lala still didn't care.
"Does that mean the Redhead girl too?"
Maria asked a question. Both Sona and Rias have moved back home, and sometimes they seem to fight every time they see each other, but they give off the feeling of being very good friends and almost like sisters. Just like the fights Nana and Momo have.
"Miss Rias-sama is not under protection. But as long as they are at home and around Christel, I cannot sit idly by and not take care of her when needed. She is the princess of the Gremory family, so she has her own protection, who also help in protecting Miss Christel-sama and her family."
"Lala still doesn't understand, why put Christel to sleep-honey?"
Lala asked something interesting. Although there is an agreement with the devils of Kuoh Academy not to reveal the secret of the paranormal. But for Lala, beings like Mio and Maria, Rias and Sona, are just other species living on this planet. And knowing Usagi who possesses advanced technology, she believes that humans are not much different from other races on the planet in terms of technology and power.
Mio and Maria also had their doubts, even Basara pricked up his ear to listen, according to his aunt, this little girl seemed to be very important and, although he had investigated her past, he was surprised by the intelligence Christel has, but otherwise, she is just an ordinary human life that had never encountered monsters or demons or ghosts. At least not until she came to Neon. But, although the aunt could not say why, but she said that she was very special.
Mio and Maria had wanted to tell her the truth about their identities. Even more so with the evolution of their relationship with this little fake sister, they wanted to be recognized for their true forms and not a lie. But they had also been told by the student council president, Sona, to keep it a secret for the moment. Until they had the strength to protect her from heaven and the gods.
"Because of the last magic I cast -Seisho no Kami- (Biblical God) on humans, who, at that time, were in a precarious situation. It makes humans who have no knowledge about the real world, remain ignorant of the existence of beings like us or supernatural phenomena, come under the protection of this magic. Although Miss Christel-sama is very special. Thanks to that protection, she is not detected by any enemy. That is why she has lived in peace all these years."
"But Christel-san knows about our existence?" Momo pointed to herself.
The host understood and explained. Although she was also surprised by the weapons that this pair of twin sisters used. Although the technology of the Demons is advanced, they do not normally create attack weapons, they use their own forces. But these girls or their extraterrestrial race, can create energy weapons. It seems to see a glimpse of the future that will be that of humans, if they continue to advance in their science and technology.
"You guys are different. Apparently, the Biblical God's magic didn't contemplate beings outside of the planet. The elders theorize that he didn't even know of your existence. That's something that has also scared the elders, just thinking that outside of our world there's a huge civilization with technology capable of blowing up our planet. It has them apprehensive. But since your existences are only known to the Gremory Family and the Sitri Family, and personnel like myself, that has made no one else look for trouble with you."
That is why you are also under the protection of the two families. We believe that if other forces find out that a princess, and now two more, from a great civilization with an unknown power are here, they can take measures against you and use them for selfish benefits or simply do evil."
Mio and Maria, although they knew the life story of Lala, Momo and Nana, had never thought of something so profound. Now they are grateful that Christel is under the protection of the veil of that God of the Bible. If forces come to hunt her down, it would already be a problem; if they find out about Lala, everything would be worse!
Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. They felt relaxed after fighting Zolgear and winning, but now they know that they are actually very weak. They need to improve their strength!
Basara is also going crazy. He was already shocked when he heard about the Gremory and Sitri families, he thought that they would be the most powerful devil families, and that they can live in the civilized world and coexist with humans.
He was also aware of the existence of that God, who was respected by the clans of heroes. And also of the existence of other gods. Such as Egyptians, Greeks, Nordics, etc.
He also knows that heroes must not only protect humanity from monsters and fight evil demons and ghosts. They must also protect the secret and never let all of humanity know of their existence.
Although it was never said why the secrecy. But thinking about it, with what the demon driver said. It made sense that the God left a protection spell for all of humanity, even if that protection takes away their right to know the real world in which they live and remain in ignorance.
But where his mind exploded was with Lala's life story, even though his aunt had told him she was from off-planet. He never thought she would be the princess of a civilization that could travel the universe.
Just thinking about those foreign movies he's seen, the ones from Marvelous Country, how many aliens with spaceships that shoot deadly lasers, wanted to conquer the planet. Running those images through his mind, which should only exist in science fiction, made him tremble inside and out, making him feel like he's sitting on pins and needles.
Unlike the others, Lala just held Christel in her hands and hummed, she didn't think about any of that, her mind was on something else.
After moving forward for a while, between the conversation and the trip down the avenue, everything in the area seemed to fill up again with vehicles and life. This did not slow down the driving speed. So they managed to arrive minutes before the closing time of the main gate of the Academy.
"Therefore, it is a secondary priority that Miss Christel-sama does not know anything about the real world and I asked young Maria to put her to sleep. By the way, you can wake Miss Christel up, she will not remember anything and it will not hurt her right?"
Mizugami looked in the rearview mirror at the girls and focused on Maria and said.
"Mm! Don't worry Major Mizugami, I would never hurt my Imouto, Christel-chan. And I would think that she just fell asleep..."
"And if you thought you were waking up.... What are you doing, Maria?!"
Maria approached, placing her body over Mio and taking Christel's face with her hands, she planted a kiss on her lips.
A little purple light emanated from her eyes, and within a few seconds, Christel's eyelids fluttered and she opened her eyes.
"Haaa~!" Momo made a gesture to cover her eyes with her little hands, but her fingers were open and did not cover her view at all.
"Pervert… JUM!" Nana looked at this, blushed, acted as if she was upset by her act and turned her face away. But it was just to cover up her shyness. It wouldn't be the first time she saw this silver-haired girl attack Christel, her sister-in-law, and from the first moment she called her a pervert.
She often asked her older sister why she let Maria and the others flirt with her fiancée like that. But Lala always replied that she didn't see anything wrong, that they were all family and a family should be harmonious.
The one who did cover her face was Mio, but out of shame for the things her younger half-sister says and does.
"Of course! The correct way to wake up the Sleeping Princess is with a Kiss of True Love!"
"Hey? ~ I fell asleep?"
"Yes, you fell asleep in the arms of your beloved Maria-onesama, hehehe~"
Christel pretended to stretch and looked around at Lala, then at Maria.
"If I fell asleep in your arms, why am I in Lala's arms now?"
"Heeeeeeee~..."
