Chapter 6.1

Farewell Temporary

Japan — on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, the [DxD] Team and their allies who fought against the Trihexa which threatened Japan now bore witness to the scene before their eyes . Trihexa was gradually being dragged into the sealing field— . After a retreat was issued to return to this coast, all members received news of the final battle plan . The higher ups of each faction prepared themselves for an eternal battle with Trihexa, and then set out for the Isolation Barrier Field— . Once inside, unless they defeated Trihexa, regardless of whether they were a god-class being or a Transcendent Being, they would not be able to come out . In order to defeat Trihexa, which was capable of repeatedly regenerating itself, it would require several thousand years, or even— .

Sona Sitri was standing on the coast in one corner while crying . She did not know that her ane [1], Serafall, would also depart for there . Not even a single word of farewell was conveyed to her .

“…Onee-sama…no, I hate this… . Why did you leave me behind and go ahead by yourself…? My dream…I also wanted you to see it, onee-sama…”

The sorrowful Sona Sitri wept without any of the visage that she normally had, but instead showed tears befitting a girl of her age . It was only natural . She was eighteen years old . As a Devil, she was still a child, and from now on, she would be waiting for an eternity without her ane, and a world without her ane .

At the same time, standing beside her to comfort her, Rias Gremory was in the same situation .  Her ani [2] Sirzechs had also departed for the Isolation Barrier Field— . No parting words could be conveyed either . Her ani was Lucifer . The King of Devils, Lucifer . So, in order to protect the Devils, he made up his mind to participate in the eternal battle against Trihexa . However— . Her ani…he was also a Gremory . He was originally a Gremory . Even if he was called a Super Devil, he was originally a Gremory . It’s just that he was a gentle and strong person .

Yes, he was gentle and strong— .

No, precisely because of this, Sirzechs had such determination . Precisely because of his gentleness and his strength, he departed for the sake of protecting everything .

“…Onii-sama…you really are, hopelessly stupid…”

A stream of tears flowed down Rias’ cheeks as she conveyed her own thoughts— .

Soon, it would be her high school graduation ceremony .

…I am going to depart on a journey from there, and I originally hoped that you would see that moment… .

This battle, and the scene before her eyes, it was something that Rias would not forget for the rest of her life— .
