Life In Dxd - Chapter 117

After it was decided what everyone will be doing Tatsuya said, “Well the first step is done now let’s go and find those two exorcists.” Tatsuya then looked at his group and said, “All of you return back and start your preparations, we all have to start the operation tonight.” All of them nodded leaving behind the devils and Tatsuya.

Tatsuya then looked at the other three and said, “Well let’s start searching for those two.” All three of them nodded and the search for the exorcists started.

They all started searching and while walking Isami asked, “Isn’t it going to be difficult to find those two in the whole town. I mean even though they do stand out because of the robes that they wear, but still-”

Isami was about to continue but Tatsuya interrupted her and said, “Found them” and pointed his finger towards a direction.

All of them looked where he was pointing and saw two white robe cladded people asking for money from others while saying things like, “Blessings on the lost lamb” and “We are pitiful compared to you, O lard please have mercy on us.”

Tatsuya looked at Isami and said, “You were saying something?”

Isami sighed and said, “Just forget it.”

Tatsuya and the others then walked towards the two of them and then Tatsuya said, “Are you both even trying to find the swords?”

Both of them then looked at Tatsuya and were surprised to see him there. Xenovia then said, “It’s none of your business, how we do our mission. Now if you are done just leave already.”

Tatsuya smirked and said, “Oh, and here I thought that both of you were hungry and didn’t have any money on you and thought to give you a treat, but it seems like you both are trying to find the swords. You both are very diligent, I see.”

When they heard Tatsuya speaking about not having money both of them felt a jolt pass through their bodies. They were happy when they heard that he was going to give them food, but when his sentence proceed both of them became stiff and not had the will to ask for the food.

Tatsuya looked at them and said, “Hey both of you if you have time then stop your lost lamb business for a bit. I need to discuss something with you.”

Hearing that Xenovia was about to agree but Irina butted in and said, “Hey, how dare you talk about our lost lamb like that. It is considered a holy thing among us. Apologize to the lost lamb.”

Tatsuya just shrugged and said, “See, I don’t have that much time, like I said there is something that I need to discuss with you two, I am even willing to offer you food.”

Hearing that both of them were tempted but before Xenovia could agree Irina said, “There is no way now that I can take the food from you after you have badmouthed the lost lamb.”

Tatsuya was a bit annoyed and said, “Come on just forget it,”

Irina shook her head and said, “No we are not going.”

Tatsuya twitched his lips and said, “Looks like you haven’t changed a lot since the last time we met. Still the stubborn personally I see. Then how about we make a bet?”

Tatsuya said that and smirked and looked at the two of them.

Irina and Xenovia looked at him with a confused expression and said, “What type of bet?”

Tatsuya just smiled and said, “Just like you are asking money in the name of lost lamb, I will do something like that as well and let’s see who can get more money out of the two of us. If you earn more, I will apologise. If I earn more then both of you are coming with me to talk.”

Hearing the deal Irina smirked and said, “Deal” Tatsuya just smiled and said, “I hope that you do not cry later.”

Tatsuya then took Koneko with him and starred discussing something with her. Soon both of them came back and Tatsuya said, “We have one hour to see who wins.” Both of them nodded and then Tatsuya said, “The time starts now.”

Irina and Xenovia started their lost lamb stuff and still people paid them no attention. Both of them started to get a bit depressed but suddenly they saw everyone looking at them and were running towards them. Seeing that both of them got excited and Irina said, “Looks like they finally came to realise how great the lost lamb is” They kept looking at the crowd approaching them but then something unexpected happened and the crowd went past them and started gathering around Tatsuya.

Both of them got surprised and decided to see what was happening and somehow managed to cut through the crowd and what they witnessed left their mouth open in shock.

Tatsuya was standing along with Koneko and held a banner which said, “Help the lost cat” and then Koneko who was standing with her usual cold expression put a pair of cat ears on her hand and smiled a bit and said while tilting her head to the side, “Please ONII-NYAAN” all the men who saw that held their chests tightly and shouted, “DON’T WORRY WE WILL HELP YOU!!!” and started putting money in the basket placed in the front.

Seeing the money pile up Tatsuya smirked and said, “Never underestimate the power of cats. They are very dangerous… very very dangerous.”

He then looked at the Church Duo showed them a mocking smile. Both of them gritted their teeth but now they knew that they lost their bet. Both of them sighed and looked at Koneko who was now imitating a cat and was showing to use her hands as paws.

Tatsuya looked at the money which keep on piling up and thought, ‘I should ask her to act as a mascot sometimes in the restaurant.’

After the hour was over Koneko stopped acting and turned back to her cold expression. She then looked at Tatsuya and said, “That was really tiring.” Tatsuya looked at her who was still wearing cat ears and immediately hugged her and started rubbing her cheeks with his. Koneko who saw that immediately blushed but didn’t said anything. Tatsuya who was was enjoying the moment was suddenly pulled out of it when he heard, “If you are done with that, I guess you have to discuss something with us.”

Tatsuya stopped rubbing the cheeks but was still holding Koneko in his arms making her blush and said, “Yeah, let’s go somewhere else and talk there. This is no place to discuss something important.”

He then lifted Koneko up and started walking back. Seeing that all of them looked at him with a sweat drop but still followed them.

Koneko who was embarresed by all the states that both her and Tatsuya were recieving asked, “Senpai can you put me down.” Tatsuya didn’t even wait for a second and answered immediately, “No” Koneko turned her head and looked at him and asked, “And when will you put me down?”

Tatsuya looked at her with a determined expression and said, “Till I am satisfied.” Koneko blushed a bit and then asked, “And how much time will it take for you to get satisfied while holding me.”

Tatsuya smiled and said, “Koneko-chan if I it were upto me then I can hold you like this for my whole life. You are too cute for me to leave you.”

Koneko’s blush intensified and then said, “T-t-then you have to t-t-take responsibility f-f-for this N-N-NYAA~”

Hearing that Tatsuya felt that an arrow pierce his heart and thought, ‘KKKKKAAAAAAAWWWWWAWAAAAAAAIIIIIIIII!!!!!” and hugged her even tighter and Started patting her head and said, “Don’t worry I am ready to take any responsibility you want.”

Suddenly he heard a voice and stooped, “Hey you there stop for a bit and put the little lady down. We want to discuss something with you mister so let’s go to the police station for a bit.”

Tatsuya looked at the policeman who were looking at him and were pointing to the car they were in.

Tatsuya looked at Koneko and Koneko looked back at him. Both of them then looked at the police who were staring at him.
