Chapter 14: Chapter 14 : Azazel .
Sasae walked alone on the way home, usually he would go home with Ranko and Nari. However, today the two of them were a bit busy. Ranko is in the Sojusu club because she wants to improve her spear wielding skills. And Nari is in the student council and plays chess with Sona.
Sasae turned into a small alley and continued forward until he came to an empty street.
[ Partner .]
'Um.'
In the blink of an eye, Sasae disappeared from he position and appeared on the roof of a building not far away. Sasae stood there and looked at the spot where he had disappeared.
"Who is that bastard? ." Sasae said with an annoyed voice. Normally he would attack this stalker by surprise and he would interrogate his intentions before killing him. However, this stalker was very powerful and definitely stronger than him, at least that was how Sasae felt.
[ I don't know , but his aura is familiar . ] Kraken said .
"Tch… At least we can cut the tail-" Before he could finish the sentence. Sasae immediately sensed the presence of a stalker behind he. He immediately attacked first to gain the initiative.
Sasae used Knifehand Strike to slash the stranger's left side. A light shock wave was created as Sasae's hand slashed at the stranger's arm.
Realizing that he attack didn't affect the strange man much, Sasae immediately jumped back to keep he distance. At the same time, a red tentacle sprouted from Sasae's hip.
"Oh ho… Owner of Kagune huh? That's interesting… Crazy Sacred Gear of crazy people." The strange man commented with an amused expression as he examined each limb on the red tentacle.
"Do you know that it is very impolite to spy on others?" Sasae muttered in an annoyed voice. He needed to wait ten seconds every time a tentacle sprouted. That's why Sasae needed to buy time to grow all four tentacles.
"Oh, I'm sorry for following you. I didn't do this on purpose. I was just walking around when I caught you… Let's see…hmmm… I simply wanted to see you and wanted to talk to you." The man said.
"Well, I don't care why you're following me… Who are you anyway? ." Sasae said with an annoyed voice.
The man makes a funny looking pose… Or maybe this strange man thinks his stance is cool. From the back of the man grew twelve pairs of black crow wings. Then, the man showed a mysterious smile before speaking.
" I am -"
"Azazel- Governor of Grigori." Kraken said in an annoyed voice when the octopus brother remembered the name of the fallen angel standing in front of him. Meanwhile, Sasae frowned and immediately became wary of what Kraken had just said. Standing in front of him now was the governor of Grigori and the same person who wanted to assassinate him.
"Oh Kraken, you still remember my name. I'm so happy ." Azazel said in a funny voice and wiped away the fake tears.
"Tch… Shut up, pervert crow. What is your purpose ? Why are you in this town? This is a town run by the devil, do you want to recreate the great war?." Kraken said.
"Calm down Kraken. I'm only in this town as a vacation. This town has a lot to offer. And the most interesting thing is that I discovered you. Sacred Gear of War." Azazel said. Azazel is a tall man in his twenties with a medium build, black hair, blond bangs, and a black goatee.
"Hey, don't ignore me."
" I'm sorry . It's just been a while since I've seen Kraken." Azazel said.
"Put that aside. Azazel… Why would you want to assassinate me." Sasae inquired, at the same time two red tentacles began to wrap tightly around his brother's legs. Sasae is ready to attack the man in front of him and open the bloodline.
"assassinate you? I don't remember telling my subordinates to assassinate you." Azazel said.
"…What does that mean?."
"There seems to be something wrong here." Azazel put he hand on he chin and continued speaking.
"It could be that Kokabiel did it… All I did was tell my subordinates to follow you. Surely Kokabiel was out to assassinate you. Haizz… That troublesome idiot."
"The Kraken activates it." Sasae mumbled. It was clear that he couldn't trust the person in front of him. Who knows if he's lying or not.
"Activate Sonic mode." Kraken's voice rang out, and immediately two tentacles began to tighten around Sasae's legs. Then, they glowed softly before turning into light leg armor at Sasae's feet.
Once again Sasae disappeared from his position, but this time his speed caught Azazel by surprise. Before Grigori's governor could react, a red streak appeared in front of him and Azazel was immediately hit in the face by something that sent him flying backwards.
"The speed is amazing." Azazel muttered in a slightly unbelievable voice as he used his wings to stop in midair. He then wipes the blood from his mouth before trying to find Sasae only to emerge from below and shoot Azazel in the jaw.
"Tch… Kids these days are troublesome. Never listen to other people's explanations." Azazel complained and again used he wings to stop in midair.
Sasae once again used he speed to attack Azazel but this time the fallen angel was able to predict the direction of his attack and catch the attack. Azazel grabbed Sasae by the leg before throwing him away sending Sasae flying straight into a nearby hill.
When Sasae staggered to his feet, Azazel appeared not far from him.
"Damn, kids these days are strong. That's hurt ." Azazel said in an annoyed voice before he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Hey… is your mother fine these days?" Azazel said.
Sasae's eyes immediately went blank, an aura began to appear around him. To Sasae, Azazel's words just seemed like he was implying that he knew his family and that he was using that to threaten him.
Strange tattoos started appearing all over Sasae's body. Azazel seemed to notice the danger Sasae was emitting. He realized his words and immediately panicked and explained.
"Wait, calm down. I don't threaten your family. It's just that your mother and I are acquaintances." Azazel explained, he didn't know about Sasae's tattoos but he felt it was dangerous. And he didn't want things to go too far.
Look at Azazel's expression. Sasae felt that the crow in front of him was telling the truth so he tried to control himself and started to calm down.
"What is your true purpose?" Sasae didn't ask why Azazel wanted to assassinate him. What he asked was why Azazel was following him and wanted to talk to him.
"I want to warn you because of what Kokabiel is planning. That guy betrayed Grigori and from what my intelligence provides he's planning something and I guess and it's troublesome." Azazel said.
" So what ? That has nothing to do with me." Sasae said in an annoyed voice. He did not understand why Governor Grigori gave him this information. However, he could at least prepare some options if he had to confront Kokabiel.
"Nothing… I just wanted to warn you." Azazel said then he created a teleport circle.
"Next time we meet, don't attack your Oji-chan~." Azazel smiled and spoke to Sasae before he finished teleporting back to Grigori.

Sasae returned home with a heavy heart, his legs now felt like thousands of needles had been stabbed. Although it is not very painful, it is very uncomfortable. This is a side effect of using Sonic mode.
" I'm back ." Sasae entered the house and the first thing he did was go to the kitchen and drink water from the fridge before he entered the living room.
"Ah, you're back, Sasae-chan. I was busy dealing with these documents, so I didn't notice that you were back." Raiko said seeing her son enter the living room.
"Where are Ranko-chan and Nari-chan?"
"Nee-san is at the club and Nari is staying to play with her friends." Sasae replied as he approached the couch.
Raiko seemed to notice Sasae's unsteady steps. She immediately asked in a worried voice.
"What happened to your leg?"
"I played sports today, so I have a muscle strain." Sasa replied.
"Oh my god, why are you torturing yourself like that. Come on, take off your pants and lie down. I will massage your feet." Raiko motioned for her son to lie down and Sasae reluctantly did as she was told.
Sasae lay face down on the chair while Raiko sat on his back. Then she started to massage his feet. Raiko cautiously pressed her soft hand against Sasae's thigh and rubbed it making Sasae groan with joy.
"Ah…"
"Ara ara . Are you happy, Sasae-chan, ?"
" How wonderful . ' Sasae answered happily, making Raiko smile.
Soon, Sasae was lying on her back and the massage began again.
