Life In Dxd - Chapter 266

While the seraph and the human were walking hand in hand they stopped at various shops that were set up in the heaven as well as at the other facilities built there.

Tatsuya who noticed that the places that they were visiting were usually empty that it was Michael’s scheme but didn’t told about it to Gabriel who was actually enjoying such an atmosphere.

‘Hmm, if she doesn’t have any problem with it, then what problems do I have.’

At a distance Dulio who had a burger in his hand was looking at the two of them through a pair of binoculars while also informing the some other people through a Walkie talkie.

“So….you guys are trying to set the two of them up?”

Suddenly Dulio heard a voice and flinched since he didn’t notice the person approach him because of being focused on Tatsuya and Gabriel.

He turned around and saw Isami standing there with a burger in her hand as well which she bought from a nearby shop.

Dulio also noticed Griselda and Xenovia talking to eachother though it was only Griselda who was talking…..scolding while Xenovia was sitting in front of her and apologising for turning into a devil and not contacting her.

He looked at the two of them with a sweat drop before turning back to Isami and said, “Miss Hyodou, yes what you said is indeed true. So can I ask you to please give them a some alone time for now, we promise to arrange the best experience for you to sightsee once this is done.”

Isami thought for a while and sat down on the seat in front of Dulio’s and said, “I don’t know man, I need to ask this with the squad, first…..wait a minute.”

She formed a communication magic circle near her ear and called someone.

“Hmm…..Hello Kurumi-san, Isami here…Yeah, you see the people here in heaven are asking me to not interfere in their attempt to set Tatsuya and Gabriel-san up. So what’s the decision?”

———————

Kurumi who was currently bathing along with the others nodded as she heard the Info from Isami.

“Wait a minute-”

She then looked at the others and said, “Isami told me that the people in heaven asked her to not interfere in their attempt to set Tatsuya and Gabriel-chan? Anyone have problems with it?”

Hearing that all of them just relaxed back in the bath and shake their heads in denial. Even Miyuki and Asia didn’t say anything to oppose this as Miyuki had a favourable impression of Gabriel while to Asia she was her first female friend.

Seeing that Kurumi nodded her head and said, “No problems here. Do as you want.”

———————-

“…Hmm fine, bye.”

The magic circle then disappeared and Isami looked towards Dulio and said, “No problems on our side. I will be expecting VIP treatment alright, Dulio-san.”

Dulio nodded with a smile on his face feeling grateful for her understanding.

Isami smiled as well and then held something in her hand and pointed her finger at it and said, “Dulio-san, can I get an limited edition extra large delux chocolate parfait.” with a ‘smile’ on her face.

Immediately the smile on Dulio’s face disappeared and he thought, ‘Why do I have a feeling that my this month’s salary is in a big danger?’

Dulio just nodded his head with a dumbfounded expression on his face, seeing which Isami smiled and called the angel who was working as a waitress and ordered her parfait….plus ‘some’ extras.

Looking at Isami with his lips twitching Dulio thought, ‘I will settle this with Michael-sama later.”

——————–

Tatsuya and Gabriel were currently in the middle of a forest made up of various types magical consisting both common and legendary trees.

Tatsuya looked around and then used his magic to search the area nearby to know where their destination might be.

He then looked at Gabriel and asked, “Are we going to the lake?”

Gabriel looked at him with a smile on her face and nodded her head and said, “Yeah! I always wanted to go there with a friend of mine,…or is it that you don’t like lakes?”.

Gabriel who was giving him with puppy eyes made him totally speechless. He wasn’t going to deny that in the first place but her looking at him like that even made accepting it to take long.

Instinctively he placed his hand on top of her head and said, “It’s not like that Gabriel, I would love to go to the lake with you. So ‘please’ don’t make that kind of face.” ‘Its bad for my heart, She can easily rival Ophis when she is in the mood of being spoiled and cutesy and believe me, that is enough to kill all the ‘cultured people’ in the whole multiverse because of excessive loss of blood through nose bleeds.’ thought Tatsuya.

Gabriel’s face brightened up once again and she clunged to Tatsuya’s arm in excitement. “Thanks Tatsuya!!! You are the best!!!” and then once again started pulling him a bit wanting to reach the lake faster.

Soon both of them stood in front of the lake whose water could be considered as the purest that Tatsuya has ever seen.

Tatsuya walked towards the lake and crouched down near the edge and took a handful of water from it. He then stared the water in his hand and said, “This lake is enchanted with purification, right?”

Gabriel who heard Tatsuya answer nodded her enthusiastically and said, “Yes!!! Father made that lake here and just like you said, there is a purification enchantment placed on the lake itself, not to mention this water has great medicinal properties as well!!! It’s really effective since it let us help in healing the injured when they are a lot of people who got i kured duri g the battle…Though that sort of situation have not happened since the great war.”

Tatsuya nodded his head listening to the info she was giving him.

Gabriel then walked to the edge of the lake as well and sat down on the grass while immersing her legs in the lake. She then looked at Tatsuya and patted the ground beside her gesturing him to sit beside her.

Tatsuya folded up his pants a bit and then sat beside her.

Once he sat down his legs started to feel very comfortable as the lake started to show its magic and started to deal with the stress that has been acc.u.mulated from all the walking.

Gabriel looked at his surprised face and said, “It’s great, right?!”

Tatsuya looked at her who had a smile on her face and nodded his head without saying anything.

Seeing her having a comfortable expression on her face along with the peaceful surroundings made him smile and think that Gabriel was looking absolutely beautiful at that moment.

Seeing his expression Gabriel blushed a bit not knowing why but still averted her eyes, and no matter how much she tried she was not able to look directly in Tatsuya’s eyes.

Not understanding why that was happening Gabriel decided to distract her mind a bit and asked, “U-Umm….YEAH!! A-Ano… Tatsuya are you feeling hungry?!?!”

Tatsuya who got surprised by her suddenly yelling was about to answer, but before he was able to Gabriel took out a basket out of nowhere and said, “Then please have this!!!” and shoved the basket in front of Tatsuya.

Tatsuya stared at the basket for a while before taking it from her hands and said, “Thank you Gabriel. Did you made this yourself?”

Gabriel vigorously nodded her head with an expectant look in her eyes and asked, “W-will you eat it with me?”

Tatsuya nodded his head with a smile on his face and placed the basket on his lap and then opened the lid and asked, “Then recommend me something, since you are the one who took the effort in making it.”

Gabriel who heard that narrowed her eyes and placed her hand on her chin thinking about what should she give it to Tatsuya first.

After doing some very hard mental work she finally placed her hand inside the basket making Tatsuya sigh in relief, since he started to wonder how many things has she prepared.

Soon she took out a plate which was much larger compared to the basket itself.

“Here try these stuffed pockets then!!!” and took one of the stuffed pockets from the pile that was on the plate and gave it to Tatsuya after wrapping it in a napkin.

Tatsuya took it from her hands and saw her taking one for herself as well, but I stead of eating it she was looking intently at Tatsuya.

Seeing her acting so passionate Tatsuya chuckled since this was the first time he has seen such a look on her face.

He then took a bite seeing which Gabriel gulped her saliva and waited for him to answer.

Once Tatsuya was done eating he looked at the pocket in front of it checking out the stuffing inside it and said, “Gabriel….you used sugar instead of salt.” and looked at her with a helpless smile.
