(In Issei's room)
After the two left, Issei and Asia went to Issei's room to relax a bit after the visit from the two exorcists, until Rias came home.
I'm so relieved that you're okay" Rias said excitedly hugging both of them at the same time.
I'm so sorry. I should have been more cautious with the things that happen around me" Rias said apologetically.
"I came prepared for the worst…I'm so relieved" Rias said brightly.
I'll be much, much more aware of you two from now on… Now tell me what happened" Rias said.
Issei and Asia proceeded to tell Rias everything that happened.
Were you talking to your mother?" Rias said.
asking them.
"Yes. Then I told Asia to wait in the living room with my mother...they already knew that we were devils" Issei said explaining to Rias.
"Buchou said they want to talk to you and Kaichou at the same time" Issei said giving information.
With us at the same time?" Rias said with a confused question.
"Yes" Issei said nodding.
"Well, I don't know why you came, but Souna and I will listen to the two of you after class in the club room," Rias said firmly.
(At Kuoh Academy)
The next day Issei and Asia normally went to school like they do every day, but in Issei's head he was focused on the two exorcists who came to town.
Those two said that they would go talk to Buchou and Kaichou…we should go too, Issei thought in his head.
"Issei-san look…" Asia said while looking ahead.
"That's not... Oe Kiba!" Issei yelled calling for Kiba who was in front.
Kiba-san!" Asia yelled as well.
``Issei-kun, Asia-san'' dijo Kiba.
"Where have you been, wait what happens with those
wounds" Issei said, indeed the blonde didn't know
+
75%
He was in his best condition, so Asia gave him some healing.
"I bumped into that street exorcist" Kiba said.
Freed!" exclaimed Issei, Asia got a little scared.
when i hear that name
Things were getting worse and worse.
(On the way to the Occult Research Club)
Class hours ended and Issei along with Asia and Kiba headed to the occult club room.
Hyoudou" said Saji who was outside the club room while together with Yura.
"Saji, Yura-san, have you two arrived?" Issei said
asking both of them.
"Yes... you are talking to Rias-senpai and Kaichou herself, they asked us to wait for you" Yura said to the three
Isn't it dangerous to leave them alone there with the two of them?"
Issei asking.
Shinra-senpai and Akeno-senpai are with them... but we're still ready to go in since they've arrived, Saji said.
I understand, then let's go inside" Issei said.
"Thank you very much Hyoudou...against both of us we may need all the help we can get" Saji said.
Then the remaining group began to enter the occult club room, behind Souna were his servants while behind Rias were hers with the exception of what was outside.
Ah hello Issei-kun" said Irina waving friendly
**Irina don't familiarize yourself with demons" Xenovia said curtly.
Ah sorry I forgot" said Irina.
Glup I feel tense, but what worries me the most is
... Kiba thought Issei watching as Kiba glared at both of them furiously, his killing intent was visible. the
"We come to this city because the Excalibur shards have been stolen" Irina said.
The fragments were stolen?" Rias said asking.
As you know after the great war between god, demons and fallen angels, the sword excalibur broke into seven fragments" Xenovia said.
With the use of alchemy the seven fragments were forged into 7 holy swords, each possessing part of the original power of the excalibur" Irina said.
The Catholic church I come from has two
fragments of excalibur, but recently one was stolen
Xenovia said.
"The Protestant church also had two fragments, one I have and the other was stolen" said Irina.
"Also both shards that the Eastern Orthodox Church possessed were stolen with those other than the ones we have have almost all of the Excalibur shards in their possession" Xenovia said.
What happens with the last fragment?" Souna said asking. "The Excalibur Rules fragment is located
disappeared, no one knows his exact location," said
Xenovia answering the question.
Excalibur Ruler?" Issei said confused.
"Each fragment has its own name and ability, this is "Excalibur Mimic" Irina said transforming her bracelet into a katana "The one Xenovia has is Excalibur Destruction
**Irina why do you tell details of the excalibur to the demons" Xenovia said.
"Don't worry Xenovia, it's not like they can attack us and take them away" Irina said.
"Who were the ones who stole the excaliburs?" Rias said asking.
Grigori" Xenovia said answering.
"The fallen angels?" Issei exclaimed surprised, Rias told him that the fallen are the ones who run that organization.
"Indeed all the witnesses said that the excaliburs were stolen by one of their leaders Kokabiel **** said Xenovia.
"He's not one of the angels that survived the great war between God and the original Maou" Issei said he learned a lot.
"Yes, that's why we will say this to Maou Lucifer's sister and Maou Leviathan's sister" This is a matter of the Church, you devils should not interfere Xenovia said.
What did they mean by that? Rias said asking.
"The high command of the Vatican finds it very feasible that the demons join the fallen angels... after all they are both evil beings" Xenovia said.
We will never join the fallen angels Rias said with some anger in her voice and just like Souna she was angry but calm.
Even so, we can't be sure, so I tell you not to get in our way or we will eliminate you" Xenovia said, her words indicated that they would do it if necessary.
"How many people did the Church send?" Souna said asking.
"They sent several exorcists to retrieve the escaliburs but they were all killed, only the two of us were sent" Xenovia said.
That's crazy. You two against one of Grigori's leaders, don't you see that you are on a suicide mission" Rias said.
"Don't lecture us Rias Gremory, we are faithful to the laws of the Church and if we die fulfilling their
words we will gladly die" Xenovia said.
"If it is to fulfill the faith of the Lord, I am willing to die" said Irina.
**Me too, but I'd rather not die" Xenovia said.
"The two of you alone won't be able to handle all of this" Rias said.
"We know, our mission is to not allow the fragments of the Excaliburs to gather, in the worst case we will have to destroy our Excaliburs before they fall into enemy hands" Irina said.
"We will do our duty, you
Demons have nothing to do with this" Xenovia said.
"But- Issei said trying to answer.
**It's like they say Hyoudou-kun" Souna said to Issei.
"Kaichou" dijo Issei a Souna.
"We cannot meddle in Church affairs," Souna said.
**Thank you for your time" Xenovia said as she got up from her seat.
**While you're here, don't you want some tea?" Rias said inviting them for a cup of tea.
"I'm sorry, but we can't befriend the
demons. Well we say goodbye now "said Xenovia
rejecting the offer and saying goodbye.
Then Xenovia directed her gaze to where Asia was, and stared at her for a long time. Asia noticed that and got a little nervous and Issei alerted her to that.
I've been wondering this ever since I visited Hyoudou Issei's house" Xenovia said while looking at Asia. Are you Asia Argento?"
"Y-Yes" Asia said answering somewhat nervously. I never thought I would see a witch here" Xenovia said.
while looking at Souna.
"" Asia widened her eyes when she heard what I called her and Issei was getting angry.
Ah, are you that ex-nun who became a witch? Irina said asking. "I heard that you were exiled, because you even healed devils and fallen angels, but I didn't know that you had become a devil" Irina said knowing Asia.
Asia was trembling in fear while Issei was
I was getting angry and a lot.
Asia is not a witch!" Issei exclaimed angrily as he was about to go after her, but Saji, Yura and Koneko stopped him.
Calmate Hyoudou " dijo Saji.
"It's not worth it" said Yura.
Issei-senpai" dijo Koneko.
Do you still believe in God?" Xenovia said asking him.
Xenovia she's a devil" Irina said.
No, some heretics feel some guilt and keep a bit of their faith. I can feel that emanating from her, Xenovia said.
Oh really?" Irina said asking "Hey Asia-san, do you still believe in the Lord even though you're a devil?" Irina said asking Asia.
I-I just can't stop doing it. I will believe in him all my life" Asia said answering while her tear fell on the ground.
In that case, let's kill you now" Xenovia said. The sins you have committed will be forgiven by God."
I will judge you in the name of God" Xenovia said resolutely.
That's enough," Rias said, speaking firmly. If you're going to look down on my servant..." Rias said firmly.
Wait Rias" Souna said.
"I'm not looking down on you. This is my duty as a woman of faith" Xenovia said, her words made someone explode.
* PAM *
A great noise was heard produced by a stomp on the ground, everyone directed their gazes to where the noise was, it was Issei who was in front of Asia with angry eyes in them. Everyone was shocked when they saw that, especially Asia.
Issei!" Rias said firmly to stop him.
"You mustn't," Souna said.
Issei-san?!" Asia said in surprise.
Take back what you said to Asia!" Issei exclaimed annoyed.
"I refuse" Xenovia said.
"You gave her the title of Santa and even so Asia... she was always suffering and being alone" Issei said angrily.
**Issei-san..." Asia said in surprise.
"A Saint only needs the love of God. Those who seek more love or friendship are not worthy of Sainthood" Xenovia said.
"To hell with your faith...and so is God. Everyone is an idiot for not understanding Asia's kindness" Issei said, while Rias smiled at those words.
His family, his friend, his partner!" Issei exclaimed. If you do something to Asia, I won't hesitate to fight all of you!" Issei exclaimed willingly.
Issei was about to start a fight with the exorcist when Kiba put his hand on his shoulder.
Let me join Issei-kun" Kiba said.
And who are you?" Xenovia said asking.
I'm your senpai, even though I was a failure" Kiba said.
"I see, I heard that a survivor of Project Excalibur "turned into a devil" Xenovia said knowing who Kiba is..
You two stop!" Souna exclaimed.
"I'm sorry Buchou Kaichou, but this is something that Kiba and I have to solve" Issei said decidedly.
Issei… Rias thought surprised by his attitude.
**How will Rias handle them...okay" Souna said agreeing.
(Behind the old building)
The 4 of them were in the field behind the old building, Issei and Kiba were ready to fight, the members of the occult club and the student council were watching.
"We have put a barrier around it" Souna said.
"Thank you Kaichou" Issei said as he materialized the Boosted Gear.
The Boosted Gear and the Sword Birth... let's see what you're made of senpai" Xenovia said.
My purpose is to destroy those swords you have in your hand for me and for my murdered companions and I swear I will destroy them all!" Kiba exclaimed, creating a sword and launching himself at the blue-haired girl.
