Chapter 208 - Here, comes trouble!
Outside the conference room, there were three teams of guards, belonging to Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils.
Rias brought Gasper to a group of Devil guards and told him, "Gasper, you stay here and don't run around."
"President, I want to stay there." With a pitiful voice, Gasper pointed to a corner.
"Well, anyway, don't leave the vicinity of the meeting room." Rias was dumbfounded, but she agreed to Gasper's request.
With Rias's approval, Gasper quickly ran to the corner, facing away from the crowd, adopting a posture of crouching with his head in his arms.
Being able to serve as the guards for the heads of the three Factions, their status was not low in their respective camps, and they obviously knew Rias. After seeing Gasper's behavior, they stopped paying attention.
"Lord Michael is right in here..." Irina looked at the door of the conference room with a complicated expression.
"And the Maou is inside too. The mood is really a bit complicated now, even though I was obviously looking forward to meeting them," Xenovia also hesitated.
"Ah, the guilt..." Asia put her hands together and wanted to pray, but all she got was a headache, and she could only cover her head in pain.
"Don't blame yourself too much." Rias comforted her, saying, "Lord Michael should also know that your situation was unavoidable and will not blame you."
"But we used to be Holy sword users, and now we are Devils. We always feel a bit more guilty," Irina sighed.
"You three, don't overthink it. Let's go in first," Ravel shook her head helplessly.
Everyone opened the door and entered the meeting room.
What appeared in front of everyone was a vast conference room, and a luxurious looking round conference table was prepared in the center. There were only four seats at the round table, and it was obvious who they were for. The owners of these four seats had also taken their seats early.
In addition to the heads of the Three Factions, there were several people standing in the conference room. Most of them were acquaintances.
One was Grayfia, dressed as a maid, standing next to Sirzechs.
Sona and her peerage had also entered the arena ahead of time and stood behind Serafall. After seeing Roy and Rias come in, Sona's eyes fell on the two of them, and she nodded and smiled.
Behind Michael's position, there were two beautiful female angels standing.
As for behind Azazel, it was the Hakuryuukou, Vali. Leaning his back against the wall. After feeling Roy enter the conference room, a playful and joyful smile appeared on his face.
"You guys are really late."
Azazel was dressed more formally today, not in the casual summer kimono from before, but in a tight black undershirt. Although, coupled with the lazy and playful expression on Azazel's face, it still seemed impossible for him to shed the image of an old uncle.
"Some things needed to be arranged in advance; otherwise, it would be troublesome to disturb this meeting," Roy smiled and said.
"This is the Sekiryuutei, right?" Michael's voice was full of magnetism. He had long blonde hair and an extremely handsome appearance. He wore a radiant halo on his head, full of a sacred and peaceful atmosphere.
At this moment, Michael opened his mouth, showing a kind and polite smile to everyone. As expected of an Archangel, the aura around his body really made people feel warm and comfortable.
"My name is Roy Flott, and I am the Sekiryuutei of this generation," Roy smiled back.
"I'm Michael. Thank you for your help last time with the Holy swords." Michael smiled and said, "Please accept my thanks."
Although Michael had acquiesced to the Kokabiel incident, he wasn't sure whether it would be successful or whether Kokabiel would make things worse. Because of Roy's existence, Kokabiel's ambition was completely destroyed.
"Thank you?" Roy nodded and said, "In this case, can you grant a small request?"
"Please speak," Michael didn't refuse.
"Although the three of them have reincarnated as Devils, they still have faith in their hearts, and they pray as before from time to time." Roy said, "You also know that if a Devil prays to the god of the Bible, there will be various side effects, such as headaches. I hope you can solve this problem so that they can pray as normally as before."
"Regarding the three of them, it's actually our fault. It's our incompetence. We can't run the system left by lord perfectly. We can't give lord's blessing and mercy to all believers, and the number of people who can be redeemed is very limited. To maintain the operation of the system, we can only exclude some factors that will affect its operation."
Michael looked gently at the church trio and said, "I want to apologize to you. I'm so sorry." Michael's voice was sincere, without the arrogance of a superior at all.
"Please don't say that, Lord Michael." Seeing their former idol apologize, the church trio was terrified.
"Lord Michael, you don't need to apologize. I was raised by the Church until now. Although I felt that the Church's approach was a bit unreasonable at the time, after knowing the reason, I don't mind so much," Xenovia said with a smile. "Although sometimes I regret when I think about it, now my life is very fulfilling, and it is more open than when I was in the Church."
"Lord Michael, I am surrounded by many people who care about me, and I feel happy," Asia also said with a smile.
"My side is also good, but I often have headaches when I pray, and I can't pray a complete prayer at all," Irina said in distress.
"I will solve it." Michael said with a gentle smile, "When I return to Heaven, I will adjust the system so that you can pray normally."
"Thank you so much, Lord Michael." The church trio thanked him gratefully.
"Okay, that's enough chatting. Let's start the formal meeting." Azazel took over the topic at this time and said directly, "Everyone knows the theme of this meeting, so I won't beat around the bush. We, the Fallen Angels, hope to live in peace, so I won't say much nonsense. If you want to, just sign a peace treaty directly."
"Sirzechs, are you okay with this?" Azazel said, looking at Sirzechs.
"Of course. This is the wish of our side." Sirzechs nodded. They had also talked secretly about the potion business cooperation given by Roy.
"How about you, Michael?" Azazel looked at Michael and said, "You won't tell me that you still want to fight?"
"I have no problem either." Michael nodded.
"Well, it seems that We have reached a consensus." Azazel clapped his hands. "This meeting is successfully concluded!"
"Wait a moment!" Serafall's eyes widened, and she couldn't help saying, "Is this the end?"
Not only her, but even Rias and Sona were shocked. Although they knew that the Three Factions had a tacit agreement to make peace, it was really puzzling that such an important meeting ended in just a few sentences.
"If not?" Azazel gave Serafall a strange look, and then exchanged glances with Sirzechs. The meaning in his eyes was very clear: "Didn't you discuss it with Serafall before you came?"
Sirzechs shook his head helplessly. He had indeed discussed the general intention with Serafall. However, specific things were changing rapidly, so it was impossible to have everything step by step. Moreover, Azazel resolved the meeting so neatly that even Sirzechs didn't expect it.
According to the experience of previous meetings, it usually took more than ten or twenty minutes of arguing before getting to the point.
"Then Serafall, what's your problem?" Azazel shrugged and asked.
"Nothing." Serafall shook her head dejectedly. She wanted to question him about Kokabiel. After all, Kokabiel took Sona as a target, but now this situation seemed meaningless. The main purpose of this meeting had been achieved, and the other details weren't important. Anyway, Kokabiel had been punished.
"That's it." Azazel snapped his fingers, and then three contracts appeared on the table, saying, "Although this kind of contract is not very restrictive for us, we still have to go through a process. Those guys also need an explanation."
Sirzechs, Serafall, and Michael had no objections and planned to sign the contract. This kind of official document in written form would need to be announced to the Three Factions later.
When they read it and felt that there was no problem with the treaty, they were ready to sign the contract.
Suddenly, a heavy bombardment resounded through the sky, and the strong impact made the barrier surrounding Kuoh Academy crumble.
