Chapter 17: Inevitable future battle and return to DxD
"...I've never seen such a thing."
The perpetual indifference, or even the usual contempt displayed by Serie, was no longer present.
Sanguinius could now read only pure excitement and a fierce hunger that seemed to have been awakened.
Such an expression on her face was rare, almost inconceivable according to his memory of the manga.
"She had a face like that only when it came to Fern's talent... no, this is more exaggerated."
Unconsciously, he took a step back.
Not out of timidity. Not even out of fear.
But this sudden, heavy, suffocating atmosphere... it strangely reminded him of scenes from a popular manga featuring a certain sadistic clown.
'Yeah, I feel like I'm facing Hisoka from HxH.'
Sanguinius has never met Hisoka, but he's sure he would emit such a palpable desire for something wanted within reach.
Unfortunately, for Serie and Sanguinius himself, the latter was not able to satisfy these revived emotions.
