Chapter 40: Asking the Genius Witch for Help
1 p.m., London, United Kingdom.
Due to their geographical location, Tokyo and London have a time difference of 9 hours. In Tokyo, most of the people were asleep, while in London, it was still bustling with people.
There is a large house with baroque architecture, that is located in the London area, where the nobles of Great Britain were in the past.
In library.
A cute girl with a slim body, shoulder-length blonde hair, and blue eyes. Was reading a book in front of her. She didn't even notice the black figure that suddenly appeared behind her.
That black figure is Nakano Akira, the protagonist of this novel!
Seeing the blonde girl's back, Akira's condition, which had improved, he walked slowly so as not to make the sound of footsteps.
Right behind the blonde girl, Akira stretched out his hands to cover the eyes of the girl in front of him with lightning speed.
"Hyaaah~!"
The blonde girl exclaimed in surprise, because someone suddenly covered her eyes while she was engrossed in reading a book.
"Wh-who is this?" the blonde girl asked nervously.
"Take a guess." Akira changed his tone.
"Akira-sama?" The blonde girl immediately guessed who had made fun of her.
Akira withdrew his hand, and said dissatisfiedly:
"Tsk, you are right."
The blonde girl looked back, saw it was really Akira, patted her small chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huuu... Akira-sama scared me."
Akira pulled up the empty chair next to the blonde girl, sat down, and said a greeting :
"Long time no see, Le Fay. How are you, and Arthur?"
"Nice to see you again, Akira-sama. Thanks for asking, me and big brother Arthur are doing well as usual." The blonde girl called Le Fay smiled.
"I'm pleased to hear it." Akira nodded slightly.
Le Fay Pendragon, a Genius Witch from the Magician's Association named Golden Dawn. She is known as a genius, having mastered many magics, such as elemental magic, defense magic, teleportation magic, summoning magic, security system magic, white magic, black magic, elf magic, nordic magic, etc.
The biggest reason for Le Fay's extraordinary magical talent, is that she is a descendant of Morgan le Fay, as well as the legendary King Arthur.
As for how Akira and Le Fay came to know each other, that would be discussed at another time.
"Please drink, Akira-sama."
Le Fay summons two glasses of chocolate milk, and a plate of biscuits, with only a swing of her wand.
"Thank you."
Akira didn't act shy, reached out his hand to take the biscuit, then put the biscuit into his mouth.
Seeing Akira eat his dish, Le Fay also ate the biscuits on the table.
"Where's Arthur? Does he practice swords?" Akira started the topic while sipping milk.
"I remember now, try Akira-sama to persuade big brother Arthur. Big brother wants to leave the Pendragon Family to join a terrorist organization."
While talking about her big brother, Le Fay remembered an important matter, and asked Akira for help.
"Cough Cough Cough..."
Hearing this news, Akira choked on his drink.
"Ahhh, Akira-sama..."
Le Fay took a handkerchief, and rubbed Akira's milk-soaked mouth.
"Are you sure, Le Fay?" Akira asked while lifting his chin, and Le Fay caringly stroked his chin.
Le Fay returned to her seat, and said confidently:
"I'm not lying, Arthur's own big brother told me last week."
Knowing the plot of High School DxD, Akira knew what kind of terrorist organization Arthur wanted to join, but he still asked to be sure.
"What is the name of that terrorist organization?"
"Khaos Brigade." Le Fay replied.
Akira was not surprised to hear a foreign name, but at the same time, it was familiar.
"Let me guess, the reason Arthur wanted to join the Khaos Brigade was in a bid to find strong enemies, right?"
"How did Akira-sama know?"
Le Fay looked at Akira in astonishment, she only said so little, and the young man in front of her could guess the continuation of the story.
Akira smiled slightly, stretched out his hand in front of Le Fay's forehead, and then he flicked his finger on Le Fay's forehead.
"Ouch, why did Akira-sama hit me on the forehead."
Covering her forehead with her palm, Le Fay felt wronged.
"Haven't I told you many times, don't add the word -sama, every time you say my name."
"Isn't that a way of addressing other people in Japan with respect?"
"You are not wrong..."
"Then there is no need to bring up this matter any more, Akira-sama."
"Yeah, do as you please."
Akira felt helpless at Le Fay's stubbornness.
"Akira-sama still hasn't explained why you know big brother Arthur's reason for wanting to join the Khaos Brigade."
Realizing the topic had strayed, Le Fay returned to asking the doubts in her mind.
Resting his right cheek against the palm of his hand, Akira said his thoughts:
"Very simply, Arthur is a battle maniac."
"Hah?" Le Fay couldn't compare her gentle big brother to a battle maniac.
Seeing Le Fay's disbelieving expression, Akira continued his explanation:
"Le Fay, don't forget about the bloodline that flows within your bodies. Just as you are talented in magic, like Morgan Le Fay. Arthur has also inherited the Knight King bloodline, Arthur Pendragon!"
"Though Arthur looks calm, polite, and like a gentleman. He is actually obsessed with finding a suitable opponent for his Caliburn. Rather than just living in the Pendragon Family, and living the boring noble life, he was willing to become an outcast, in order to satisfy his desire to find strong people."
Looking at Le Fay, who seemed to understand, but also did not understand. Akira added a bit:
"Women don't understand the romance of men."
"I really don't understand, what the draw is from the fight."
Le Fay was not a person who liked violence, she would rather delve into her studies than fight.
"If big brother Arthur is looking for a strong opponent, isn't there already Akira-sama as an opponent?" Le Fay asked confused.
From what Le Fay remembered, her big brother had challenged Akira many times, and the result was an absolute defeat, even with the Holy Sword Caliburn.
"Arthur's defeat against me, might cause him to be a little hit, therefore he wants to get stronger by fighting against other people. Once he is strong enough, he will challenge again."
Akira made his assumption.
"Makes sense." Le Fay nodded in understanding.
The two of them chatted lightly, from casual topics such as food and hobbies, to serious topics, such as whether or not alien existences were real.
After all, in this world filled with mythological creatures, it wouldn't be strange if aliens existed, right?
Unknowingly, Akira, and Le Fay had been chatting for 30 minutes, the dishes on the table had finished, and Akira started to say his purpose.
"Le Fay, I want to ask you a favor."
Seeing Akira's serious expression, Le Fay sat up straight, and asked:
"What help does Akira-sama want?"
According to Le Fay, with the level of power that Akira possessed, there were very few problems that couldn't be solved. Now that the other party was asking for his help, she was worried that this was a big problem that she might not be able to solve herself.
"I want you to erase the memories of an individual from two people." Akira said it earnestly.
"Uh, that's all?" Le Fay was dumbfounded, she was prepared to hear an impossible request. In fact, she thought the help Akira asked for was too easy for her to fulfill.
"You think wanting is so easy, right?"
As if knowing what Le Fay was thinking, Akira shook his head, and smiled wryly.
"Of course that's easy for you witches to do, but my main strengths are battle oriented, and support. I don't have the power to manipulate memory or elemental magic like you do."
"So will you do me a favor, Le Fay?" Akira asked sincerely.
"I will help Akira-sama." Le Fay agreed without hesitation.
Besides, Akira's request was too easy, even if he asked for a difficult favor. Le Fay would also try to help out.
"Why does Akira-sama want to erase other people's memories?"
After agreeing to Akira's request, Le Fay asked curiously. In his opinion, the other party was not one who abused his strength for fun.
"No harm in telling you, it started... Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla..."
There was no point in hiding the matter, Akira recounted Hajime Tanaka's lecherous behavior, after obtaining the hypnotic ability of the Devil Family Astaroth.
