Kuoh Academy, Occult Research Club——
“Although you guys are Devil, I’ll take note of the previous favors. To formally introduce myself, my name is Xenovia.”
“I am Shidou Irina.”
Sitting upright on the sofa opposite to Tenraku and Rias, Xenovia and Irina introduced themselves.
“What has brought the God Believer into my territory?”
Clasping her hands in front of her, Rias had an elegant smile on her face as she asked this question.
“Demon King’s Younger Sister Rias Gremory, I’m sure you’ve heard something about Holy Sword Excalibur.”
“Ah, I am aware of it, then?”
Xenovia had a serious expression on her face, while Rias remained smiling.
“Except for the one whose whereabouts are unknown, Five out of Six Excalibur Swords were kept by three factions of the Church, but three of them were recently stolen by a Fallen Angel.”
Irina briefly explained the situation, still looking at Raynare’s direction nonchalantly.
“Raynare is my subordinate. She hasn’t grabbed any Holy Sword from you.”
Tenraku interjected.
“We know that it was Kokabiel, a High-Level Combatant of Fallen Angels, who ordered the snatching of the Excalibur Swords, not a Stray like the one standing beside you.”
Xenovia spoke in a calm tone with just a hint of irony in it.
Tenraku shrugged, and Raynare narrowed her eyes.
There is Stray Clergy in the Church, Stray Devil in Devil, and Stray in Fallen Angels, too.
The so-called Stray people are a group of people who have abandoned the reason for their existence. Raynare, who is mixed with Devil is also a Stray in Xenovia’s eyes.
“What we hold now are two of the remaining Excalibur.”
“My is [Holy Sword of Destruction]——Excalibur Destruction.”
Without paying attention to Raynare’s cold gaze, Xenovia took out a huge sword wrapped in cloth strips from behind her.
“My is [Holy Sword of Mimic]——Excalibur Minic.”
Pointing to the band she had tied around her arm, Irina also introduced her Sword.
“So, what do you want us to do?”
Rias asked as her beautiful eyes flashed with a different light.
“This incident is a problem between us and the Fallen Angels. We were ordered to defeat the Stray and the Fallen Angel and retake the stolen Excalibur, but we don’t want to be disturbed by the Devils in this area.”
“That’s quite a mouthful, do you think we will join forces with Fallen Angel against you?”
“For Devils, Holy Sword is a taboo existence. Won’t you have the same interest as the Fallen Angels? As for whether you will join forces with Fallen Angel, don’t you already have a good example around you.”
“If you dare to hinder us, then we will destroy you, even if you are the Younger Sister of Great Satan Lucifer!”
It was almost a negotiation between Rias and Xenovia, but the atmosphere became less friendly.
Rias emitted a hint of Destructive Magic Power while Xenovia also released a stern aura, the two sides confronted each other and Rias finally broke the silence:
“Interesting. Although we are a little unhappy with your attitude, we have no plans to join forces with Fallen Angels.”
“On the name of Gremory, I will never do anything that will damage the reputation of Great Satans.”
As soon as the momentum dissipated, Xenovia also smiled after hearing the sound——
“Hehe, it’s enough to hear your words. Just now, I had just conveyed the meaning of the headquarters to you, and I actually don’t think the Demon King’s Younger Sister would be stupid to that extent.”
“Then I can also assume that your God camp will also not join forces with Fallen Angels?”
“Sure, as long as you promise not to get involved in things between us and Fallen Angel.”
“Ah, I can promise that, but I won’t sit idly by if your actions bring harm to my territory.”
“Then it’s a deal!”
At the end of the negotiation, Rias also reached an agreement with Xenovia, which is a good ending.
“I’m sorry for taking up your time, so we should also say goodbye.”
“Since you’re here, won’t you have a cup of tea?”
“I already owe you a favor, I can’t own you more, and it’s not good for us to get too close to Devils.”
“Irina, we are leaving.”
“Tenraku, I will come to you after the mission is over.”
Standing up, Xenovia and Irina were about to leave after a few greetings.
However, Xenovia seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly stopped again——
“I cared a little bit just now, you are Asia-Argento, right?”
Xenovia said as she looked at Asia behind Tenraku.
“Yes.”
Not knowing how the other party found him, Asia replied in a flustered manner.
“I didn’t expect to meet demoness in a place like this.”
“Ah …… you’re the ex-Saintess who turned into a demoness!”
“I heard that you were exiled because of your ability to heal Devil and Fallen Angels. I didn’t expect you to become a Devil!”
Xenovia’s expression was cold, and Irina also thought of something in a daze.
Because of her contract with Rias, she was given a Chess Piece and the two women could easily perceive the breath of reincarnated Devil in Asia.
“Um, I…I…”
Clenching her hands tightly, Asia couldn’t help but lower her head.
Being exiled by Church is an unbearable memory for Asia. Now she is called a demoness, and the girl feels extremely uncomfortable.
“The person who was once called Saintess turned into Devil. There is really no limit to your Depravity.”
Xenovia said sarcastically, while Rias on the other side finally could not help but stand up.
“You should stop while you still can, Asia is now in my Peerage, please stop speaking!”
Rias regard Asia as her Younger Sister and she would never allow anyone to make her sad.
“Since she has become the Peerage of the Great Satans Younger Sister, we naturally won’t do anything to her, but—”
“Asia-Argento, I’ll ask you one last time, do you still Belief in our God?”
With a change of tone, Xenovia added.
“I, I already have a new Belief…”
Asia replied while biting her lips.
“So that’s it, not only are you a Devil but you have also embraced an Evil God…”
“Let’s go, Irina, she is hopeless.”
The sarcasm in Xenovia’s eyes has turned into deep disgust and she doesn’t want to look at Asia anymore. She calls Irina and prepares to leave.
“My Belief’s is not Evil God!”
Asia suddenly raised her head and spoke in a loud and angry voice.
She can tolerate herself being called demoness, and she can tolerate the ironic and disgusting eyes of the other party, but she absolutely can’t tolerate her Belief being insulted by anyone!
Not expecting Asia, who has always been gentle and quiet, to erupt out with such anger, Rias looked astonished, but Tenraku had a smile on his face.
“Abandoning our only God, what is your Belief if not Evil God?”
Stopping, Xenovia said sarcastically.
“What I believe is… What I believe is…”
With both hands clenched, Asia’s eyes were filled with struggle.
Although she wanted to speak out about her Belief but Asia finally held back when she thought that that might cause trouble for Tenraku.
“What is your Belief, Asia·Argento?!”
The entire room became tense as Asia struggled to hold back and Xenovia sarcastically forced the issue.
Feeling that it was about time, Tenraku stood up –
“Her Belief is me…”
