Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 66

I wouldn't have it, not on my watch. It's true that Asia's kind nature was rare and you didn't see her very often in this world, but at least she should know when to say 'Yes' and when to say 'No'.

And luckily our lessons were working.

"N-NoII don't want to get married or go with you" She said with a bit of a stutter to Diodora. She then gave a polite smile.

"D-Diodora-san, II'm happy and happy that you're safe and well after I've healed you, but I... I'm afraid I'll have to reject your offer..."

"I seeI understand that you wish not to accept right away. But maybe we can take it slow then? I'm really looking forward to meeting my savior." Diodora offered with a polite smile.

"Not." I cut Asia that was about to respond by stepping forward.

"You will stay away from her." I said coldly.

Diodora's smile turned into a thin line when he saw me. His always-closed eyes opened a little and he gave me a nasty look.

"You, stay out of my sight, filthy dragon." He sneered at me and I could see Sona and Tsubaki's eyes widen as I heard Ddraig's growl of anger in the back of my mind.

"Flying Mouse, you move away from Asia." I stated with an impassive look and inwardly took amusement out of her fluttering eyes.

"Don't you dare lie to me, I know what kind of look you gave Asia and I'm warning you, stay away from her." I asked.

"And what gives you the right to make decisions for Asia?"

"What makes you have the right to approach her after you got her expelled? You, Flying Rat, are more filthy and humbler than me, at least so far I haven't hurt her."

The furious growl on his face really gave me a lot of pleasure. I now clearly understand why the original Gilgamesh loved to irritate others.

"Looks like I need to remind you of your place, lowly dragon. Remember, you're only human, I could easily break you in half, even if you're a Longinus user." Diodora scoffed at me and I wanted to laugh. Was he really threatening me? This boy was strong, but he was no stronger than Rias or Sona. Me? Damn, he sure could take Rias and Sona at the same time and win!

"Great conversation coming from a mutt who can only lick a maiden's heels." I scoffed back with amusement on my face as Diodora growled.

"Gilgamesh-san, Astaroth-san." Sona came and stood between us. "Please back off, I don't want you to fight in my office. Gilgamesh-kun, avoid antagonizing Astaroth-san."

"Never."

Sona ignored me as she turned to Diodora.

"Astaroth-san, now that you've taken care of your business, would you please leave? I don't want to be rude, I just don't want to explain to superiors later why a Longinus wielder fought a high-class devil" Diodora turned to her and her anger seemed to disappear and replaced by her smiling face again.

"Very well Sitri-san, I'm leaving for now." Diodora nodded and then looked back and smiled at Asia.

"Don't worry Asia, I'll come back to you even if a Celestial Dragon is in my way. I'll beat him no matter what."

He sent me one last nasty look and I just smiled in amusement before a magical green circle appeared beneath him and he was teleported away.

As soon as he left, I heard Asia and Sona release the breath they were holding. I just put on an impassive face and turned to Asia and then gave her a small smile.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah. II'm fine...." Asia waved at me with a small smile too.

"Gilgamesh-kun." Sona called me and I turned to her.

"What was that before? You... You were so hostile to him." She asked with a frown.

"I don't intend to eavesdrop, but if I hadn't interfered before you two would already be fighting by this time."

"You're wrong." I told her as I shook my head and she gave me a look that said 'really?' while adjusting your glasses.

"If you hadn't interfered, he'd be dead by now." My voice was serious which made Asia give me a horrified look as Sona teased before her expression turned grim.

I was ready to take out Durandal by the time we started playing, and no matter how good her instincts were, her barriers wouldn't stand a chance against Durandal. All I had to do was swing him into it the moment we started fighting and he'd be dead before I knew what was going on. Durandal's dense, strong amount of holy, light element would instantly turn it to gray, like oiled paper eaten by a flame.

"Why?" Sona asked me, her tone was stoic and I turned to her.

"His eyes when looking at Asia were like someone's when she was looking at me." I said coldly and Sona's eyes widened, he knew who I meant.

"But he's better, at least her motivation is based on pure greed. This one is darker, crueler and full of lust." I hissed with disgust on my face.

The moment Diodora looked at Asia with that look, I knew he was a problem.

Besides, I clearly know who he is.

It was the gaze of a wild beast staring down at her prey, the intent very clear. He intended to have Asia and was clearly not on the right track. He wanted her like a trophy or something, he didn't love Asia, he just wanted her, like a child who wanted a toy.

He wouldn't go near Asia... I swore it as a hero.

"Asia we're friends, even though I don't have the right to oblige you, but STAY AWAY FROM HIM" I said in a firm tone.

Asia looked at me with a strange look. I knew she probably didn't like it when I was being rude to Diodora, but how the hell would I let Asia play with him! I would invade hell itself and shoot a Durandal in his castle if he dared to kidnap Asia!

To my surprise, Asia gave me a sincere smile. She showed no signs of being displeased or angry, even her smile wasn't fake but genuine.

"I trust youI know you are a good person and you will never harm me so I will follow your words."

Asia's words were completely soft and sincere, her beautiful smile was like that of an angel who had just forgiven me for the sins they committed. A small blush adorned my face and I quickly pulled away from her.

God, this girl was so pure and innocent! Only her words gave comfort! How the hell did she do that?! Did she have some kind of charisma ability or something?!

I could tell that Sona and Tsubaki, who were watching us, had amused expressions on their faces now. These two, I would catch them later.
