I was so happy…
I was exiting the Church…with my friends.
It was such a relieving thought… I was tired as hell and still felt like death, but my condition wasn't deteriorating anymore. Yeah. Even my injuries from my previous battle with Raynare seemed to be healing suddenly. It must have had to do with that abnormal healing factor of mine.
"AHHH! HARU-TAN! I'M HERE TO SAVE YOU! AHHHHHHHHH! LEVIA-TAN CHAAARGE!"
Hearing that voice…I know this voice.
Sera-tan…? She came…after all of the fighting finished!
I saw a flash of pink before an unknown (not really though) person burst through the doors behind us into the Church. I could make her out flailing her arms about, screaming. I doubt she even noticed that she passed us.
I sweatdropped. "Um… should we…?"
Sitri-senpai seemed tired. She sighed as if honestly expecting something like this. "That's how Onee-sama is… She'll figure it out…"
We all shared a tired and awkward laugh at that.
She then held up her hand, counting down with her fingers while mouthing numbers.
Three… two… one.
BOOM!
This time the doors exploded outward. I mean LITERALLY EXPLODED. A powerful blast of demonic energy blew them off their hinges and into tiny little splinters.
"Haru-tan! Your cute King is here for you!"
I felt a huge jolt of force as someone snatched me from Yuka's arms, pulling me up into the air and tightening her arms around me.
Sera-tan was hugging me tightly, nuzzling her face against mine affectionately.
"Oh Haru-tan! I was so worried about you! I came as fast as I could to save my adorable little servant! Ooh! I ended up leaving everything to my adorable So-tan and caused so much trouble! Are you okay, Haru-tan?! Did those mean Fallen Angels hurt you!? I'll kill them for hurting you! Do you want me to kill them!? Just say the word and I'll do it! I'll blow them all away!"
Wow. This starting to sound vaguely yandere.
"Please don't." I begged quietly. "I already have everything all worked out. The Fallen Angels are gone and they won't bother us again."
"OK…" I noticed Sera-tan's voice became much more quiet. I also felt her arms tighten around me, trembling. "...Haru-tan…"
"Serafall…?" I pulled away slightly. "Holy shit!"
Serafall was crying waterfalls! Literally! Water was pouring out of her eyes like it would from a faucet! It was shocking to see my normally cheerful master crying in such a way!
I pulled a sad expression. I wrapped my arms around her, returning her embrace.
"I'm sorry I worried you. All of you…" I had spent this whole time worrying about others, but I never stopped to think about how they felt. The same fear I had of them dying was the same as the fear they had at the thought of me dying. The fear that drove them to save me.
"Oh Haruuuuu-taaaaan!" Sera-tan cried. She stared at me with that tear-stained face of hers. "I have to make it up to you somehoooow!"
"Y-You really don't—"
Sera-tan put me down, staring with an adorable pout on her face, puffing up her cheeks.
"No! I've decided! I'll make it up to my adorable Queen no matter what!" She hugged me again. "Make any request and I'll do it!"
I sweatdropped. I really wish she wouldn't call me adorable—stop chuckling over there, Issei!
After Sera-tan called me "adorable", Issei started suppressing laughter. But he eventually started chuckling… stupid Issei.
Anyway, Sera-tan clearly wasn't going to let this go until I let her do SOMETHING for me, so I might as well just give up.
A perverted part of me wanted to say "Then let me grope your well developed curves," but the more in-control side of me recognized that as rude and not to mention disturbingly Issei-like.
I rubbed the back of my neck. I looked to the others who just stood there, staring awkwardly.
"Um… any of you guys need anything done?" Coz I really had no idea what to ask of Sera-tan.
Everyone started mumbling amongst themselves, but it was clear nobody really had anything.
I sighed. Then I looked to the Church. Well… I did have one idea…
"Sera-tan…"
"Yeeeeees, my most huggable servant?" She asked cutely.
"Could you go ahead and destroy that Church? It would be unpleasant for us if any other enemies decided to settle there."
"Yes! You can count on me!" Then she pulled something out like the magic wand of a magical girl. "Time for Miracle Levia-tan to grant a wish!"
"Onee-sama, wai—!" Sitri-senpai tried to stop Sera-tan for some reason, but it was too late.
A beam fired from Sera-tan's wand.
Then shit got crazy.
BOOOOOOOOOOM
There was that powerful explosion that seemed to rock the entire world.
The church was swallowed by a huge, dome-shaped explosion. If I hadn't been held onto by Sera-tan, I would've been blow away entirely by the force of the explosion.
Everyone else shielded their faces with their arms to prevent from being blinded by the light and pelted by dirt and debris.
"Yahoooo!" The only person completely unaffected by the massive destruction unfolding before us was Sera-tan.
It was amazing nobody came to investigate this. Even with the ability of Devils to go unnoticed, there's no way anybody could miss this!
By the time the explosion finally ended, I was gaping at Serafall.
Likewise, everyone else had a similar reaction excluding Sitri-senpai who had simply face-palmed.
My mouth twitched as I tried to regain enough of my grip on reality to react.
"H-How… you… How are you so strong!?" I asked.
Sera-tan stuck out her tongue playfully. "It's because I'm Miracle Levia-tan, protector of love and hope!"
She's clearly not going to give me a real answer. I turned to Sitri-senpai.
"Has your sister always been this strong?! Is that why everyone addresses her with '-sama'!?"
"Oh yeah!" Issei suddenly said. "Kaichou, Haruto still doesn't know!"
"Know"? Know what?
"Ah. Thank you for reminding me, Hyoudou." Sitri-senpai thanked Issei before turning to me. "Haruto, you really don't know Onee-sama's position… do you?"
I shrugged. "I didn't think it was relevant. Is she really an important person in the Underworld?"
Sitri-senpai nodded. She walked over to me. "Haruto, Onee-sama is a Satan."
I blinked. "...What?"
"During the Great War between the three factions, major leaders from the Devils side died, including our original leaders, the Satans. Four new Satans were chosen to lead the Devils. They left behind their old surnames and took on the names of four of the original Satans. Currently, we still only have four Satans: Lucifer-sama, Beelzebub-sama, Asmodeus-sama, and finally… Leviathan-sama."
"Well, that's all and well, but…" My brain was a little slow to process this. Upon realizing what Senpai was saying…
Leviathan-sama…
Just to be sure, I gestured at a cheerful-looking Serafall… Serafall Leviathan.
Senpai nodded at my unspoken question.
Oh… ahahaha… my master is one of the four leaders of the Devils… Ha… OK then…
"Haruto, are you alright?" Yuka asked in a concerned voice. It was probably because the world was starting to spin around me…
"Yeah… yeah… I'm just…"
With my already weakened shock, I was unable to mentally cope with this.
The fact that I am the servant of Satan herself was apparently too much to take in.
I fainted.
