Arc Of Embodiment - Chapter 75

Jaune saw the memories relayed to him by his wooden clone, and he was laughing at the fact that Kuroka was frustrated not knowing where her sister is. He knew that Kuroka left Koneko for a reason, she didn’t want her sister getting hurt, but her action hurt Koneko more than the devils can do, which caused her to reject her race. Jaune could go and tell Kuroka where Koneko is and bring her to Koneko, but this is a form of punishment, even if she didn’t know that fact.

Jaune just let the two Youkai outside leave. He didn’t want anything with them anyway, except for the location of Arthur, he was curious if this world’s Arthur can wield his Excalibur and if Caliburn of DxD is stronger than his Excalibur, he doubted it. Still, he wanted to see it for himself. He dropped the thought for now.

“Good to see you again, Odin. I see that since Rossweisse is no longer with you, you are enjoying bringing that everywhere,” Jaune said while pointing at the magazine in Odin’s hand.

“Ha-ha-ha! It’s quite refreshing. How is she doing with you?” Odin laughed and asked.

“She’s doing quite well…Here take a look at these photos,” Jaune said while showing his scroll to Odin. He saw dozens of photos with Rossweisse teaching magic to multiple people; she seemed to be enjoying her time.

“Alright, as long as she’s going well,” Odin said.

“Odin-dono, you know this young man?” Michael asked.

“I do. I met him not too long ago. He wanted to meet me so that he can poach my bodyguard, Rossweisse,” Odin said.

“I’m Jaune Arc,” Jaune said while he stretched out his hand for a shake, which Michael reciprocated.

“Michael. Hmm? So, you’re that Jaune Arc that Sirzechs’ been talking about,” Michael said.

“Good things, I hope,” Jaune said.

“Yes…” Before Michael could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Azazel.

“Baha-ha-ha! That was one hell of a show, kid! What was that gun you used?” Azazel said.

“You mean this…” Jaune said while showing his Dominator.

“How does that thing work?” Azazel asked.

“That’s a secret,” Jaune said.

“Well, that’s understandable,” Azazel said.

“You’re Azazel. You’ve been around a long time,” Jaune said.

“That’s right. Why are you asking?” Azazel said.

“I have this thing, and I thought that someone like you might know. After all, you have seen things that I haven’t,” Jaune said.

“Sure,” Azazel said.

Jaune then opened a portal to the Gate of Babylon, entered it and asked Azazel to come in, which he did. Moments later, Jaune emerged from the portal and walked towards Michael.

“Michael, Azazel told me that you might be able to figure out what the thing is,” Jaune said to Michael.

“What does it look like?” Michael asked.

“I’m not sure. It’s red and big,” Jaune said without lying.

“Hmm? Can I take a look at it?” Michael asked.

“Sure,” Jaune said. He was smirking in his mind.

With that, Michael got snared in his prank. What was happening in the Gate of Babylon was simple. The moment they entered the portal, Azazel and Michael came face-to-face with Ddraig in all his glory. Someone as old as those two is bound to be someone that’s witnessed the fight against the Heavenly Dragons. And they came face-to-face with such a powerhouse without preparing themselves, especially when they knew that it was supposed to be sealed away.

Jaune made a portal and grabbed the two leaders out of the GoB and back to the Party. He took enough photos to show everyone back in Orario and later his family. When they got back, everyone could see that Azazel and Michael were a bit shaken from something, but looking at Jaune’s smile confused them.

“What did you do to Michael-sama?!” Irina said.

“Oh. I just showed Michael the thing that he has been looking for,” Jaune said, which was not a lie.

“What? But the only thing that Michael-sama is looking for is the…” Irina didn’t finish what she was saying as she was interrupted by Michael.

“Boosted Gear! How is this possible?!” Michael said.

“That should be impossible! God and the others gave everything they had to seal him away! How is it that he is here?!” Azazel said.

“Jaune? What are they talking about?” Sirzechs asked.

“I just showed them the thing that they’ve been looking for, the Boosted Gear,” Jaune said with a smirk.

“The Boosted Gear! That was not the Boosted Gear! That was Ddraig!” Azazel said.

“Oh, right. Well, at least you’ve found what you were looking for,” Jaune said while laughing his ȧss off and heading to Serafall.

The following day, when Jaune woke up, the first thing he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling. That’s because he was in Serafall’s family residence. At the end of the Party, Jaune planned to use Yamato to get back to Earth, but Serafall stopped him. She said that she wanted him to stay overnight at her family’s residence, which Jaune accepted.

But right now, Jaune was confused, he remembers staying over in the Sitri household, but he doesn’t remember sleeping in the same bed as Serafall. He believes that he got duped. Serafall told him the previous night that he was asleep in a guest room, which confused him since the room was quite feminine. He just chucked it up to Lady Sitri designing the guest room, but that was a dumb ȧssumption because now, looking around, the room was filled with magical girl figurines.

“Sera, wake up,” Jaune said while slightly pushing her.

“Mhmm… It’s still too early,” Serafall said but stood up anyway.

“Why did you say that this was the guest room?” Jaune asked.

“I didn’t. I brought you here, and then you ȧssumed that this was the guest room. I just never corrected you,” Serafall explained. This was the last time Jaune was going to ȧssume something.

“Did you at least sleep well? I hope I was comfortable to hug,” Jaune said in a teasing tone that went unnoticed by Serafall.

“Yup! You are the most comfortable thing I’ve hugged. Not even a body pillow of Sona is this comfortable,” Serafall said.

“By the way, do you have any plan for the day?” Serafall added.

“I don’t. Why?” Jaune asked.

“Let’s go on a date! You told me the other day that I should think about being a relationship with you thoroughly. That’s why I want us to go on a date so that I can see if what I feel about you is romantic or just as a friend,” Serafall said.

“That’s not a bad idea, but what would we do? The date is such short notice,” Jaune said.

“And that’s the good thing about this! We can do what we feel is natural! No planning, no overthinking things, just be ourselves and see where it goes!” Serafall said.

“Well, okay. Where should we have our date? Here in the Underworld or on Earth?” Jaune asked.

“Earth! It would be better since there aren’t many places here on the Underworld we can go to for a date,” Serafall said.

“Well, alright,” Jaune said.

After Jaune and Serafall decided to get out of bed, they got a knock on their door. It was Lord and Lady Sitri. Jaune was informed that Michael, Azazel and the Satans wanted to speak with him. So, they hurried up to get appropriately dressed since they are both on their sleepwear. When they were ready, Lord and Lady Sitri brought Jaune to a conference room.

“Soooo…What do you want to talk to me about?” Jaune asked.

“It’s about Ddraig. How you brought him back isn’t the question. The question is, why? Why did you bring back such a dangerous existence? He is an existence that could endanger the world! He won’t care if he is destroying the Earth, Underworld or Heaven, as long as he can finish his fight with his Rival,” Ajuka said.

“You don’t have to worry about that. Ddraig won’t be doing anything you are thinking,” Jaune said.

“He will. He doesn’t care about anything besides his rivalry with the White,” Falbium said.

“He. Won’t. And that’s a guarantee,” Jaune stressed his first two words.

“What makes you think you can guarantee something like that?” Michael said calmly.

“That’s because he is my familiar,” Jaune said.

“EH?!” Everyone was shocked at what he said.

“That’s impossible! He wouldn’t even give a glance at the God of the Bible! Why would he become Your familiar!” Falbium shouted.

“Simple. I beat the shit out of him,” Jaune said.

“Lies!” Falbium said.

“You can ask him yourself,” Jaune said and made a portal under Falbium, who then fell through it. Jaune then connected to Ddraig through their familiar contract to tell him that the devil that entered the GoB is no threat and answer his question.

Moments later, a new portal formed, and Falbium came out of it. He then told everything that Ddraig told him to the rest of the people in the room. If they believed that Vali, the White Dragon Emperor, was an existence that can change the world using the Divine Diving during the three faction peace summit, then what about the man who defeated the Heavenly dragon? Now Vali was just like a joke since he was using one of the Heavenly Dragon to change the world, while the other could defeat a Heavenly Dragon without the help of a Longinus.

“Are you sure you’re Human?” Azazel asked.

“Yes, I am,” Jaune said.

“Are you sure…?” Falbium said.

“For the love of Oum! I’m Human!” Jaune shouted.

“Who’s Oum?” Michael asked.

“You don’t need to know,” Jaune said.

“Anyway, now that everything is settled, Sera and I are heading to Earth to have our date,” Jaune added.

With that, Jaune and Serafall headed to Earth. Azazel, Michael, Falbium and Ajuka can’t get their heads around that a very unsuspecting human like Jaune could beat a Heavenly Dragon. The man isn’t even exuding a natural Aura of Power. That’s why they couldn’t believe what Jaune told them, and they even forget the fact that Jaune easily took out Fenrir just the night before. As for Sirzechs, he just sighed.. After all, his sister already told him about what Jaune was capable of.
