With everything settled, Austin was back again in Taimanin world, exactly inside Asagi's house. He was having a very serious meeting with Asagi, Sakura, Violet, Shiranui, Yukikaze, Ingrid and another three members: Akiyama Rinko, Yatsu Murasaki and Shizuru Kousaka—who was someone he didn't know or appeared before in the anime but maybe appeared in the game. However, didn't focus on her.
She was also a very beautiful women that exuded an air of nobility and elegance as if she was an actual noble. She had long blonde hair tied in twin tails with red white ribbons, green eyes and a gigantic bust. She was wearing red battle suit as well while being here.
Austin didn't remember her as we said before, he didn't pay that much attention to the plot as it was, you know, full of women being raped and fucked until they lose their minds and turn into sex slaves or breeding stock for demon, so if we sum up everything, you won't find anything except rape and sex.
Anyway, While Murasaki and Rinko were looking at Austin with a slight blush, Shizuru Kousaka was sipping her tea elegantly while taking glances at Austin from time to time. She had no blush at all and that could be either she had seen someone who was more handsome than Austin, which was close to 0%, or she swing that way.
Either of them, Austin didn't care and just looked at the three of them with indifference while sitting on the armchair and the three of them on the couch
The others were sitting on the other couch beside them.
"Then, what bring you here tonight?" He said grabbing their attention.
"Well, we have two reasons for coming here, mister~" Kousaka said while smiling at him mischievously with a hint of allure.
Austin didn't get fazed by her attitude just now and just looked straight at her eyes, making her tremble slightly as those two crystal blue orbs were looking straight at her as if she was naked and no secrets could be hidden from them.
"You may continue." He said grabbing her attention again.
"Ahem! L-Like I said, we came here for two reasons, the first was that we wanted to know the person who helped one of our greatest Taimanin in most of her missions and subdued a traitor like Oboro and one of filthy demons from the demon realm–"
But before she could continue, Austin's mana flared and casted a huge pressure on the living room making everyone feel like being crushed and was difficult to breath. Well not everyone, just the three women who were breathing heavily with sweat sliding on their faces, but then suddenly, the pressure stopped and was lifted as if nothing happened.
It was for a brief moment, but they felt like being gazed at by a terrifying existence that they couldn't look at and immediately looked down in fear that they may offend this being.
It was more hard and extreme for Kousaka as the pressure was aimed at her from the beginning, but due to how huge it was, it affected the two beside her, but not to the point of feeling like they were dying, it was just some side effects of his huge pressure that no matter how perfect his mastery over mana was, couldn't be prevented.
Kousa put her hand on her chest while breathing so heavily as if she was having a heart attack, the air inside her lungs was sucked out making her unable to utter any word. She was also sweating heavily.
Her state was miserable, and if someone looked closely, they would see tears at the corner of her eyes threatening to fall. Yes, it was to that point.
"What..did..you..say?" Austin muttered those words one by one as if talking to a child who needed the words to be said one by one for him/her to understand.
"I-I...just...me..." She couldn't say anything understandable, she was shaking while hugging her own body with eyes filled with unimaginable fear from what she felt earlier.
"You said that Oboro was a traitor, and Ingrid was a filthy demon from the demon realm,"
"I understand that Oboro was a traitor, but she is now my wife, someone who I care for, and hearing you say that is unacceptable, besides, who are you to say that INGRID is a filthy demon, huh. Who are you to say that.
You don't know what they have gone through to be like this, you don't even know their circumstances and how hard it was for them to do what they did. You or anyone in the Anti-demon association do not have the right to judge my wives." During the whole thing, Austin was calm yet cold, so cold that his words could freeze the north pole.
From the beginning, he didn't have any good feeling from this woman and what she had just said proved and cemented this feeling. She was a woman who believed in justice and judges people being innocent or guilty based on her own judgement and what she heard, she didn't even try to hear the other person and know what they had to say to justify their deeds.
Austin knew that what Oboro and Ingrid had been through was so hard on them as being controlled and corrupted like that and move not on your own will but according to someone's intentions wasn't a thing that many people if not all of them, liked.
Like, who would want to be mind controlled and corrupted to do what the other person wanted?
It turn a very innocent person into a serial killer that feed on the blood of his victims.
Kousaka who heard all of this, shuddered and looked down in shame. She knew what he had just said was right, no, it was absolutely right. You can't judge anyone based on your opinions and judgments beside listening to what people said about them without listening to what the other party had to say would lead to only misunderstandings and that was proved many times in history, and just that, it was also proved in our daily life where could be in a great trouble because someone decided to listen to the other party without listening to you to know what you had to say, at least to defend yourself.
Although Oboro betrayed them, causing them some losses of many of their strong warriors weakening the power of the association, but that wasn't her choice or intention, rather it was the other way around, she was being controlled and moved according to the intensions of someone else that Austin guessed he was Edwen Black, the finally boss of this world and the one he had to kill to finish his mission.
'That scum needs to die in the most miserable way.'
