37 Chapter 37: Making A Plan (1/2)
”So what's your plan”, Mournomon asked Ceria, she had been sitting next to Masaomi, who seemed to have gotten a bit better while thinking for a while now.
”I think it would be best for us to lay low, and wait for everything to blow over, but that's easier said than done, how long will we be able to hide from both the church and other devils, not to mention that I'm not really on good terms with the Grigory.”
Mournomon thought for a moment then spoke, ” All right I'll make you a deal?”, he said with to Cleria, his face was showing an evil smile that was making not only her but Masaomi shudder.
”W-what deal?”, she stuttered barely able to muster the question, she just couldn't figure this dragon out, it was almost as if he was doing everything at a whim, it was infuriating yet scary at the same time, who in their right mind would make an enemy out of one of the great houses of the underworld on a whim.
Masaomi was the same, he may have only known this dragon for an hour at most but he was completely terrified of him, the power the overbearingness and the complete lack of reason to everything he does was making being in his presence very unpleasant.
”In return of you using the remaining two chances of the token I gave you I will accompany you until you found a safe place, it would be best if you went somewhere where the three powers have no allegiance, like a place under the rule of another pantheon.”
”True, I will have to escape away from Kuoh town, and this token as you have stated will only be active within Kuoh's territory, but is fleeing to another Pantheon advisable?”, Cleria asked.
”Well it won't be any more dangerous than staying here, will it. I have said this before, I will ensure your safety before leaving you so if you don't do anything stupid you will be able to live peacefully.” Mournomon said.
”Ok, deal”
Mournomon nodded to Cleria's answer before turning his attention to Masaomi, who had been silent the entire time.
Masaomi seeing Mournomon looking at him with a questioning gaze answered without any hesitance, ”I will follow Cleria's lead”
”Well at least we know who wears the pants in this relationship”, Mournomon thought as he nodded to the pathetic Exorcist who sold his soul to the she-devil.
”Well if that's everything I will be leaving to start and make some preparations.”, Mournomon said as he started leaving the factory.
”Wait!” Cleria shouted after Mournomon, causing him to stop and turned to her with a confused look on his face. ”Is there anything else you need?”, he asked.
”Are you just leaving us here, alone and wounded?” she asked with concern written all over her face.
Mournomon stared deeply at her as he put on a face of contemplation, after a few minutes he finally answered, ”Yes”, with a natural tone, before resuming his departure.
”You!!!”, Cleria shouted at him, her face red with anger. Masaomi could only sight, he didn't have many expectations it was a miracle that they have survived this long, so he didn't think they should ask for too much but of course, he would never tell his thoughts to Cleria or risk having her skin him alive.
”Relax, I will be back in a day or two. The factory is surrounded by a concealing barrier that will unwanted attention away, I also took the liberty to just put a defensive barrier up as well, it should be able to hold off an ultimate class devil's full brunt attacks for about an hour so you should be fine since I don't think any of the devils around here would be stupid enough to release all their power so near human civilization.”, Mournomon said as he left the Factory making his way home.
On his way, he had to make many detours as to run into devils, he could easily tell that these devils were none other than the ones pressing Cleria and Masaomi so he made some time to specially deal with them in the Mournomon way.
