"What is this?" 

Yuuki looked at several photos of monsters on the table while looking at everyone. 

"This is a dragon. More correctly it is an evil dragon," Vali said. 

"Evil dragon, huh?" Yuuki looked at the photo for a while and saw that each of the dragons in the photos was very large and gave an evil aura even though it was only a photo. "Where have you gotten this?"

"We moved around the world and met them accidentally," Arthur said. 

"They're very troublesome," Bikou said with a sigh. 

Jeanne sat down beside Yuuki while looking at the photo curiously. 

Kuroka was sitting on his lap and slept on his chest since she was quite tired. 

"Have you fought them?" Yuuki said. His hand was caressing Kuroka's back tenderly while looking at Vali since he knew that this guy would instantly be going to fight when he met a strong creature, especially a dragon. 

"Yeah. Here we have Vali, who is a battle maniac. When we saw the evil dragon, Vali charged directly to attack them," Bikou said with a tired sigh.

"How is it?" Yuuki asked. 

Vali snorted and said, "They ran away." 

"Runaway? Really? Dragon is going to run away? That bundle of pride is running away?" Yuuki was surprised when he heard Vali's story. 

"We might be full of pride, but we're not fools," Albion said through Vali's Longinus. 

"Albion, my bad. I didn't mean that but I have heard that evil dragons were very lawless before," Yuuki said. 

"Well, that's true. I was also very surprised when I saw them running away before," Bikou said. 

"Is it really running away? Isn't it forcibly teleported to somewhere?" Yuuki asked. 

They looked at Yuuki and thought about this possibility. 

Yuuki smiled and said, "The Khaos Brigade has become stronger with this group of undead evil dragons." 

"Undead? How did you know that they're undead?" Bikou asked. 

"How to say... Isn't that a group of evil dragons that have been slain in the past? The moment they appeared in this world again, someone used either necromancy magic or Longinus, right?" Yuuki said. 

Vali nodded and said, "Vampire, huh?" 

"Huh? What are you talking about? I don't understand?" Bikou was confused. 

Arthur sighed and said, "Remember the three holy relics in the list of Longinus?" 

"Umm...." Bikou was quite slow and thought about it for a while. 

Jeanne, who had been silent, said, "There are three holy relics. The first is True Longinus of Cao Cao, the second is the Incinerate Anthem of Walburga, and the last is Sephiroth Graal. I am not sure who is the owner of Sephiroth Graal, but I have heard that it should be in a vampire group." 

"Then, there is a big chance that a vampire is going to collude with the Khaos Brigade?" Bikou asked. 

"There is a high possibility of that." Arthur nodded. 

"The world sure is getting dangerous." Yuuki looked at Kuroka who was sleeping and felt that this girl was very cute. He knew that it was better for the world to be in peace so that he could enjoy his life, but sometimes a little war was good too since the peaceful world was too boring. 

Vali grinned and said, "I am more than happy about it. I can fight a lot of powerful dragons that have been slain in the past. I can fight them again!" 

'Battle maniac....' They thought inwardly looking at Vali. 

"But seriously, tell me whether those groups of dragons are strong or not?" Yuuki said. 

Vali thought for a while and said, "It is average. I am not sure why maybe they haven't gotten used to their new bodies?" He crossed his arms and said, "I'll give them time to make themselves stronger then I can have an enjoyable battle with them." 

"Landon, Yamata no Orochi, and Grendel." Yuuki looked at the photo and said, "There might be more in the future."

"It's getting more and more interesting," Vali said with a grin. 

"...." 

"How is Hyoudou? You're not going to fight with your life long rival?" Yuuki suddenly asked and thought to change the topic of conversation. He knew that the dragon was dangerous, but as long as it appeared in front of him then he would slay it instantly. He was too lazy to search it around the world since he wasn't the hero of justice. 

Vali sighed and said, "He is talentless." 

"Mediocre," Albion also said. 

"It is already very surprising that he became this powerful in a few months after he was reincarnated into a devil. I thought that in a hundred years or so he might be able to become a good rival," Vali said. 

"Well, the devil has a long age," Yuuki said. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "I'll go out to train together with Gremory's peerage tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?" 

Vali, Bikou, and Arthur looked at each other before they shook their heads at the same time. 

"I am going to search for those dragons in another place," Vali said. 

"I am going to follow him," Bikou said. 

"Me too," Arthur said. 

Yuuki nodded and said, "I won't force you." He looked at Jeanne and said, "Jeanne, you come with me, alright?" 

"Yeah." Jeanne nodded and felt that it had been a while for her to fight someone and her hands felt a bit itchy. 

"I'll go too, nyaa," Kuroka said while wiping her eyes. 

"Are you sure?" Yuuki asked. 

Kuroka nodded and said, "I want to meet Shirone and see her progress, nyaa." 

"She might not train with her senjutsu though," Yuuki said. 

"No, nyaa! I have told her to practice senjutsu and Shirone is a good girl. She is going to her Onee-san's words, nyaa!" Kuroka said. 

"But her older sister is a naughty cat. Her little sister is going to follow in her older sister's footsteps," Yuuki said and pinched Kuroka's nose. 

"I am a naughty cat, nyaa! What are you going to do, nyaa?" Kuroka taunted him. 

"Well..." Yuuki stood up while carrying Kuroka in his arms. "I need to punish this naughty cat." 

"Nyaaa!!!" 

Yuuki and Kuroka went out and left everyone behind. 

"......" 

They were speechless to say anything.
