Chapter 113 - Getting my hands dirty

After Xenovia was taken out of the rubble Tatsuya used his magic to heal her and after a bit she stood up and lifted her Excalibur and wrapped it in the bandages.

She the looked at others and said, "Thank you for taking your time and help us." She then looked at Tatsuya and said, "And I will beat you the next time."

Tatsuya just smiled and said, "Sure, next time I will use a fork."

Xenovia gritted her teeth but remained silent. She then put on her cloak and then looked at Irina and said, "Let's get going Irina."

Irina nodded her head and looked at others and said, "Well then see you again, Amen."

As they were leaving Tatsuya looked at them with a serious expression and said, "I guess that you both have already been told this but you do know that you are up against a cadre, right?" making all of them shocked.

Both of them stopped in their tracks and looked at Tatsuya and asked, "How do you know that?"

Tatsuya just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't forget that it is my territory I at least know that if their are some major events going on in the town or not."

Hearing his answer Xenovia thought that it was justifiable and Xenovia nodded and said, "Yes, we are already mentally prepared for what we are going to face. So don't interfere."

Rias who was listening to their conversation curiously asked, "That means both of you do know who was the one who stole the swords, right?"

Xenovia looked at Rias and said, "It was one of the leaders of Grigori, Kokabiel."

Hearing his name all of them except Tatsuya were shocked. Rias now understood why Tatsuya asked that question and said, "Are you really prepared to fight a cadre, We can cooperate if we want to deal with him."

Tatsuya looked at her and thought, "Even if all the supernaturals of the school except for me and my team group together then too Kokabiel can defeat them easily.'

Xenovia shook her head and said, "No we can handle our problems on our own."

Miyuki looked at Irina and said, "I already knew that you were stupid but do really have to prove that by taking on this death mission."

Irina looked at Miyuki and just showed a helpless smile and said, "Don't worry I came here only after being prepared to deal with what we are going to."

Miyuki who was not satisfied with her answer asked, "Does Touji-san and Grace-san know that you have taken this mission?"

At this question Irina became silent and looked away.

Both Tatsuya and Miyuki looked at Irina and Tatsuya said, "Do you not really feel anything on taking this mission without even telling them?"

Irina just became more depressed on hearing that. She then looked at both of them and said, "It doesn't matter, they would be happy if I completed this mission and come a step closer to God."

Tatsuya narrowed his eyes and said, "And what about of you are unable to fulfill this mission, what will happen then? What if you die on this mission?"

Irina who was looking away said, "Then I will die while doing something that the god wishes."

Tatsuya got angry by her answer and was about to say something. But before he was able to Miyuki walked towards Irina and slapped her and said, "Did this open your eyes a bit?"

Miyuki then grabbed her shoulders and said, "Do you really believe that both of them will be happy on hearing about your death, even if it was for your God?"

Irina teared up a bit and then freed herself from Miyuki's hold and looked at Xenovia and said, "Let's go." and both of them walked away.

All of them looked at both of them go and then Kiba also stood and was about to follow them. But Tatsuya stopped him and said, "Are you really set on your path or you going to follow the way we talked about yesterday?"

Kiba looked at him with a conflicted expression and said, "I don't know, I cannot decide right now. At one time I think that what you were saying is the correct way but whenever I see think of those swords I think that what I am doing is correct." He said and then left the group behind.

Seeing that Kiba was leaving without telling them, Rias was about to stop him but Tatsuya held her off by raising his hand and said, "Let him cool off a bit. His mind is in a mess right now."

Rias then sighed and complied with what Tatsuya told her and then left with her peerage.

Tatsuya then looked at his group and said, "You all go back first, there is something that I need to discuss with Sona."

All of them nodded their head silently, and started walking back except for Miyuki who remained standing. Tatsuya went towards her and hugged her and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. I won't let anything happen to her even of I don't like to meddle this much."

Miyuki slowly nodded her head and then snuggled closer to him while he just silently caressed her back. Soon she separated herself from Tatsuya and said, "If you really want to help her then do it, but just so you know I don't care about her."

Tatsuya just sighed and said, "You know it's bad to not tell your real feelings, Miyuki."

Miyuki looked away and said, "I don't know what you are talking about" and then started walking back home.

Tatsuya looked at their direction for a while and then looked at the setting sun and said, "Looks like I am getting my hands dirty in this case" and stretched hua body.

He then took out his phone and called Sona, "Sona, it's me Tatsuya. You see there are some important matters that I need to discuss with you so, are you free right now... Great, will meet you in the Student council room in a bit."

Tatsuya then put his phone back and then started walking towards the Student council room.
