It had been four hours since Kisuke started gathering information. He looked at his watch and saw that it was already midnight. In addition to some downtown activity, most households have turned off their lights.
The night sky is bright and you can see the stars clearly because today is a new moon so it is dark enough and moving without being known is very suitable.
Kisuke had recorded some of the activity that happened tonight as he looked around.
There are three groups and one individual. The first was a group of demons, the second was a group of human exorcists and the last was a pair of demons and humans. The only Devil as well, he was just watching for now. This one unleashed a surprising amount of power coming from it and it would be dangerous for Kisuke to bring it in person.
"Well, how do I screw them up? Hmmm, that one person gave me a dangerous feeling and did not think of me as a good person. Especially at how he sneered and gave a mocking smile at the couple who were protecting each other. " Kisuke silently muttered to himself. "Yosh, that sounds fun toying with the guy." With a grin on his face, he decided on his actions.
Jumping from roof to roof while avoiding everyone's gaze and blending his aura with the surroundings, he reached the three-story building. Behind him was an open ground with some building materials strewn about.
Metal clashes were heard and angry voices were heard. Kisuke peered down and saw 7 figures. Five humans wielding swords surrounded the Devil pair and the wounded humans.
The human man protects the severely injured Devil woman from all five when he himself is injured. It seems that both of them are Devil's lovers and the human that Kisuke is rumored to be investigating.
That Devil was Cleria Belial, a high-class Devil from a prestigious family and the current ruler of Kuoh City.
He is currently in a romantic relationship with Masaomi Yaegaki, an exorcist from the Protestant Church.
Masaomi Yaegaki is a man with long black hair and a subordinate of the man who leads a five-man team against the duo.
The leader of the exorcists who chased after them was Touji Shidou. This is not the first time Kisuke has seen this man because he is the father of his childhood friend Irina Shidou.
Touji Shidou has light brown hair and wears a priest's robe. He was supposed to be the leader of the city's Protestant Church today. Now he is chasing his subordinates who are in love with Devil to stop their relationship.
"Masaomi!! Leave the Devil woman alone. Do you want to destroy the status quo between Heaven and the Underworld?!" Touji shouted at his subordinates who stubbornly protected his woman.
Hearing this, the Cleria who was already half-conscious and covered in blood due to the battle with the other Devils before they met the exorcists, opened her mouth, "Honey, leave me alone. At least that way, one of us can survive. "
"Cleria, you know that's not going to happen. Even if I die with you today, I will never regret my choice because you are the woman I love." Masaomi looked at him with a face full of wounds and blood. Despite that, the gentle and loving gaze he had for Cleria was not covered.
"You gave us no choice. Men's... Kill them." Touji grimaced at his own words. It was very difficult for him to give orders over the death of his subordinates. He'll regret this moment his whole life, that's, he's sure.
Actually, the Church has already given an ultimatum, and that is to kill them both tonight, no matter what happens.
The church had already vaguely realized the relationship of the two and let it go because it was also beneficial to them since this city was the territory of the Devil.
But the order from the higher-ups suddenly came this afternoon, which was to hunt down the criminals who threatened the balance between Heaven and the Underworld. Five exorcists, who are subordinates of one of the villains, are sent to complete the mission.
Normally, just five of them were not enough to fight a high-class Devil head-on, they just followed orders. But to Touji's surprise, when they find the two, Devil, Cleria Belial is already severely injured and will not be able to fight, while Masaomi Yaegaki has some injuries, but not too seriously is already too tired.
Touji never really intended to kill Masaomi. He just wants her to separate from Cleria and arrest her to bring her to justice. That way, he would at least live and have a chance to redeem himself even if Masaomi hated him for killing his lover. The church is clearly hiding something, especially after the "big" time Devil. He considered that this was not just about the status quo of Heaven and the Underworld.
But Touji underestimated the feelings of the two of them and was forced to give a final order.
As they prepared for the final clash, a shadow fell from the sky and faced Touji.
The intruder was very short, like a child, wearing a black robe with a hood that covered his entire body while wearing an inconspicuous mask.
The masked boy-like man then started talking, "Hello everyone, I'm not a suspicious person at all, happy to meet you all."
Everyone was silent and could not react for various reasons. One being, only a big idiot would believe someone who introduced himself as not a suspicious person while wearing suspicious clothes. And two, that it really is a child's voice. They wondered why a child fell from the sky and greeted everyone?
The robed child, not caring about their reactions, continued, "I came here because I was moved by the love of both of them and I want to save them if you don't mind."
The exorcists finally reacted, they prepared their swords to increase their vigilance to the maximum. They would not underestimate someone just because he was a child, it could be that it was just a spell to look and sound like a child.
Kisuke then stated, "The game starts here! Sekienton(Red Smoke Escape)!"
