Mystery Girl

In a certain country in Europe.

A Devil girl created by Hades with the Mother of Devils Lilith — Verrine was performing the task given by Hades; investigating mysterious beings…human-shaped and giving off silver radiance. She acted along with several Grim Reapers, and they were thoroughly searching the designated area where the appearance of their target was reported. Even though they saw the aforementioned silver humanoids…Hades had ordered 'Don’t get involved with them', so they just observed them. Despite being human-shaped, their bodies gave off silver radiance and seemed hard. Looking at them, they seemed almost like a machine, but their bodies had smooth curves like living beings. The backs of their heads were protruding and they also had five eye-like things. Though from a distance, no mouth or nose could be seen…

—Though I want to fight with these silver humanoids, I can’t do that.

Verrine was being pressured by boredom. Even though she participated in the international Rating Game tournament [Azazel Cup], her team had suffered a defeat in the first round of play-offs. For Verrine, who had transcendental power since birth, a tournament where opponents with whom she could fight freely was a good opportunity and she was quite enjoying it. But it all ended due to the mischievousness of someone who was like a brother to her (even though he himself was serious…) — For Verrine, who only lived among Hades and the other Leaders of Hell, being deprived of participation in what could be called a unique tournament while not being able to dramatically change her values or grasp hold of some goal was a huge blow. Rather, she thought about parting with Hades and living somewhere she wanted. However…she felt gratitude towards him, but more than anything, she couldn’t bear leaving her brother Balberith.

Moreover, it seemed like even if she left the organization, the strongest deterrence of this world — the anti-terrorist team [DxD] would be keeping an eye on her. All who stood against [DxD] up till now had been defeated. The Maou’s son, and even Gods were brought down. Perhaps, if she separated from Hades, DxD would chase her as well. It would be fun in its own way, but… In any case, even if she stayed with Hades, she’d have to fight them, so it seemed like there would be nothing that different. Including the fact that Balberith was entranced with Oppai Dragon, they were what made Verrine still hold on to her current position.

At some deserted house in a rural town (their current investigation location) of the European country, a message reached Verrine’s ears, who was continuing her investigation of the silver humanoids along with the Grim Reapers.

[Verrine, there was an unknown luminescence confirmed in the mountains northwest from here.]

“—. Understood.”

Verrine felt that, for some reason, she was a little glad that a report different from usual came, so she headed there. Upon reaching the designated place — at the open place in the mountains on both the ground and the night sky, there was a giant pattern, which caused a luminescent phenomenon. The reason she couldn’t conclude that it was a magic circle...was due to its completely unknown pattern. It was neither the one used by Devils or Northern gods, nor the one used by Magicians. Verrine had a lot of knowledge about supernatural powers driven into her right after she was born, but still… No, there were also a lot of those which she still hadn’t experienced since her birth, so it was not that strange even if she didn’t know it. However, the Grim Reapers who stood beside her…

[…What is this pattern?]

[Is it some new one created by humans? Or is it from a Sacred Gear?]

…While being cautious, it looked like Verrine’s discretion wasn’t wrong.

While she was thinking about that, in the center of a pattern floating in the sky and on the ground — of the magic circle (let’s suppose it is one), a much brighter luminescence broke out. A light so intense one would want to avert the eyes illuminated the surroundings. …After roughly ten seconds, the radiant magic circle in the sky and on the ground vanished, and in its place, there was something floating in the sky while emitting a pale aura. The aura slowly descended upon the ground. While being on guard, Verrine and the Grim Reapers approached that pale aura. The aura gradually grew weaker and what appeared there — was a girl in an unfamiliar garment. She seemed unconscious. Her appearance was that of a human girl around sixteen or seventeen years of age. There was a veil on her head, and something like a pendant was hanging from her neck. …Her appearance seemed to be like that of a clergyman from some religion. Verrine held her, but there were no signs of her waking up. At that time, one of the Grim Reapers said,

[Verrine. There’s a report that a large number of those silver humanoids are coming here.]

Hearing that, Verrine instantly suspected the girl she held was related to them. The moment she thought about it, Verrine was fast to reply.

“We are taking her and leaving this place for now. Isn’t it better to let the higher-ups decide?”

Other Grim Reapers also agreed, so they decided to get away from there along with the mysterious girl —
