To Junichiro's surprise, Azazel just waved that comment off, "You're not the first person to use Sword Birth to make stuff out of magical metals. Just about everyone either does that on purpose or accident. After all, for a sword to handle things like flames it needs to be able to withstand and handle those flames. If they don't specify the materials of the weapon, then Sword Birth usually creates the sword with the 'cheapest' metal that can stand the enchantment. It usually seems like a modified version of Mana Steel. Not necessarily a magical metal, just strong enough to withstand whatever is being done to it. You know, flames and stuff that everyone thinks of."
Junichiro tilted his head and pondered that information. None of it seemed to contradict what he'd seen so far. He shrugged his shoulders and returned to smirking, "Well, aside from that I've learned a few other interesting tricks. Is this why you stopped by today? To drill me on what I was doing with Sword Birth?"
Azazel shook his head, "Nah. Just seeing that weird ass sword got me curious. I actually came by to ask you to let me do a scan of your body to make sure there weren't any issues with Sword Birth fusing to your soul. It usually takes a couple of days for a newly implanted Sacred Gear to fully integrate with the new user."
That got Junichiro thinking a bit. He recalled how, in the canon story, Raynare ripped Twilight Healing out of Argento Asia. Despite trying to take the Sacred Gear for herself, it was super easy for the Gremory peerage to take the rings away from Raynare and give them back to Asia. Was it so easy to take Twilight Healing from Raynare because it hadn't properly settled and fused? If Azazel was being honest, then that seemed likely.
He studied Azazel for a moment before he nodded, "Yeah, fine."
It wasn't something he honestly wanted to go through with. However, Azazel was by far the expert on Sacred Gears here and it was always possible there was something wrong that Junichiro was simply unaware of. It was much better to be safe than sorry when it came to something dealing with the soul.
Azazel walked into the room and held up a small device in his hands, "Designed it myself. This will do a quick scan and highlight any issues and the status of the connection between Sword Birth and your soul."
Junichiro nodded while thinking about heading into his workshop after this to scan himself once again. His previous scans had given him some insight into how he might remove a Sacred Gear from someone, but that might now be useless if it was based on his own Sacred Gear not being fully fused to his soul.
Azazel held the device up and started pressing buttons. To Junichiro it looked like a Tricorder from Star Trek, only bigger and bulkier. Side note, in the DxD universe it was Trekking the Stars. Weird name. Azazel waved the device up and down a bit before hovering it over Junichiro's chest. His eyes flicked over the display as he hummed to himself for a bit before smiling, "Looks good. Sword Birth has fully fused with your soul. It's as if you were born with it."
After saying so, Azazel stuffed the device into one of his pockets and grinned as Junichiro, "So, now that that's out of the way, how have things been going?"
Junichiro waved a hand in a dismissive manner, "They've been fine. I've gotten some orders done that can be delivered. I've been thinking about taking a vacation and seeing some of the world. You know, now that I'm a billionaire several times over and can actually afford to travel and stuff."
That was partly true. Junichiro hadn't done much traveling in either of his lives. In his first he'd spent his entire life living on the eastern coast of the United States and had never traveled past the central timezone. In his current life he'd moved around Japan a bit, always on the run and hiding out from police since his mother's death. And yet again, he'd never left the country or even seen all that much of it. There were world famous cities in his own home country that he'd never even visited. So, some traveling before getting dragged into things with Rias and the others sounded like a nice bit of vacationing.
Azazel hummed and shrugged his shoulders, "Sounds alright. Though, I would ask that you take Mittelt with you and never forget your emergency beacon. I know you can handle the most common threats, but there's always a chance you could run into a bigger one out there."
Junichiro nodded, "Yeah, sure."
He'd planned to invite Mittelt along anyway. If their date went well then they'd be a couple on a whirlwind tour of the world and that sounded mighty fun to him. Celebrating his fifteenth birthday in another country sounded like a lot of fun actually.
He focused back on Azazel and asked, "Any news on those Devil heiresses you mentioned the other day?"
Azazel nodded, "Got confirmation on it. It seems the Gremory heiress is a bit of an otaku and wants to attend human school here in Japan. The Sitri heiress is her best friend and tagging along. Gremory's brother just bought Kuoh Academy so it looks like they'll be moving here and attending that school. Most likely beginning with their first year, they're about that age. Neither of them is really all that impressive, nor are their peerages, so there's not much you need to worry about from them."
After a little more small talk, Azazel took his leave and Junichiro made his way into his workshop. Thinking about leaving the country made him want to check over the various items he would be bringing with him on the trip. One or two might need a nice update or upgrade. The first item he removed brought a smile to his face. It was an upgraded and far more powerful version of a tool he'd used to find discarded and lost yen, the Loot Compass.
