Life In DXD

After everyone was calmed down Tatsuya turned towards Ingvild and said, "sorry for all that." Ingvild didn't said anything and continued to stare at him. She then sighed and said, "I am Ingvild Leviathan a human/devil hybrid, I hope that you will not pull any more pranks."

Tatsuya nodded his head and said, "Of course, I hope that we get along from now on." Ingvild nodded her head and said, "I hope so as well. Now are you going to tell me why am I here."

Tatsuya nodded her head and then looked at Kuisha and said, "Your turn now." Kuisha nodded her head and then started explaining Ingvild about the situation.

After Kuisha stopped talking Ingvild started thinking. Tatsuya who saw this looked at her and said, "Take your time, we are not in a hurry." Ingvild nodded her head and continued.

After a while she looked back at others and said, "looks like I really slept for a 100 years." She then turned towards Tatsuya and bowed her head a bit and said, "Thank you for curing me, I am very grateful to you. If there is anything that you want my help with then don't hesitate to ask."

Tatsuya waved his hand and said, "No problem there and even if I would not have helped, you would have woken up in a few years or so. I just lessened the time in which you would have woken up."

Ingvild then looked at him and said, "Even so I am very grateful for that." and smiled. Tatsuya only nodded his head and then stood silent.

Kuisha then looked at Tatsuya and asked, "Tatsuya you just said that you only decreased the time she needed to recover. What do you mean by that?"

Hearing her question Tatsuya turned serious and said, "What I mean is that I was not the one who was curing her, she was already being cured by her sacred gear who was absorbing her energy to take its form, I only supplied it with more energy to fasten it's pace."

Tatsuya then turned towards Ingvild and asked, "Now what will you do? Where will you stay from now on?"

Ingvild thought for a while and then said, "I don't know, but I will work something out. You don't have to be worried about me."

Tatsuya looked at her sternly and said, "Who said I was worrying about you? Looks like you don't understand my question." He then sighed and looked back at her and said, "Let me reframe it. What I mean to ask is, how are you going to survive in the world right now."

Hearing his question all of them became confused and seeing all of them Tatsuya gave an annoyed sigh and said, "You guys seriously don't understand a thing? I am saying that you are not just any devil, you are a decendent of the former devil king Leviathan. Once the factions come to know of your existence your life will become a literal hell. The new devils will probably try to either kill you or would torture to interrogate you and the old devil faction will surely try to recruit you and use you in the power struggle. Not to mention the angels and fallen angels will also come after your head. And don't tell me that you can lay low in this world forever. So I ask you again what will you do now."

Hearing all the things that could happen to her Ingvild became uncertain of her earlier decision and started thinking what to do.

Kuisha wanted to ask her to join Sairaorg's peerage but the fact that Tatsuya told about what the devils would do to her once they come to know of her existence made her stop. She then began thinking about a solution for her problem but couldn't think of anything. Same thing was going on with the other girls present in the room.

Tatsuya finally stepped forward and said, "If you don't have anywhere to go then why don't you join my team?" All of them then looked at Tatsuya speechlessly. Noticing all the gazes at him Tatsuya looked back at them and asked, "What?"

Kuisha was the first to speak and she said, "I didn't knew that you were a good person."

Tatsuya's brows twitched a bit and he said, "Aren't you freeloading on this good person's home" Hearing him Kuisha became red from embarrasment and looked away.

Ingvild then looked at Tatsuya and asked, "Why do you want me to be in your team?"

Tatsuya then looked back at Ingvild and shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am not being good to you, you can call it something like an investment. Having a descendant of a devil king with a sacred gear no less. Is there anything that I can argue to not ask you to join my team."

Tatsuya then raised his hand and said, "In return you will get" and started counting on his fingers "1)A shelter 2) nutrition 3) training for fighting and self defense 4) And of course the protection from all other factions. I don't want to brag but I can assure you that the only people who know that we belong to the supernatural world are only the people whom we told about it ourselves. So what is your answer, and also you will also help in house chores and sometimes work in the restaurant if there is too much rush."

Ingvild then began thinking and after thinking for a while she looked at Tatsuya and said, "I would like to join but I don't want to trouble you and put you all in danger." Hearing her Tatsuya sighed and said, "Look if you are not joining only because you don't want to put us in danger then that's no worry for us. All of us are pretty strong and I can annihilate any enemy we face."

Ingvild then asked, "If you can annihilate anyone then why are you making a team?" Tatsuya looked at her and said, "Well I am forming a team because even though I can annihilate anyone there are still times when I may not be able to reach on time and at those time having a group would be better for my team as most of the time Kurumi would be with me making these two left alone to face the enemy. So I am forming a group only to reassure myself that nothing happens to the others in my team."

Ingvild then squinted her eyes a bit and asked, "Then do you mean that if I was not capable enough you would not have asked me to join your team." Tatsuya nodded her head and said, "Yes, I would not have asked you to join my team then. Protecting such a comrade is no problem for me, but not being able to protect such a comrade when I am not nearby will make me more depressed. And it would not be only me, others in the team would also fell sad if such a thing were to happen." Tatsuya then looked away and said, "I don't want that, I don't want see a comrade die when I am still alive."

He didn't turned back and said, "I will ask you one last time, will you join my team."

Ingvild looked at him for a while and then hugged him and said, "ok i will join, i don't want to see my saviour sad and besides you did promise me that you will protect me as well right?" and smiled.

Tatsuya also smiled and said, "Of course, welcome to the team Ingvild I hope that we get along well."
