I'm so sorry, but the moment I published this story, I had so much inspiration for it, yet I still had a bit of trouble with peerage members. That's why I accept suggestions!

The two girls looked around, hoping to find an opening. Seeing one, they fired upon the stray devils, only to be knocked back. Getting back up, the pink-haired one with red eyes asked, "Shinku! Are you okay?" She aimed her flintlock rifle at a stray devil that leaped at her and fired, killing it instantly.

Her partner, a black-haired girl with dark blue sunken eyes, nodded and muttered, "Shinku is okay, but needs food soon. Is Mitsuhide okay?" Wielding flintlock pistols, she used wind magic to send compressed bullets of air at a larger group of stray devils, scattering them.

The pink-haired girl replied, "I'm fine. We need to escape soon, since we ran out of rations last night when we got ambushed!" Trying to ignore the pain, the girls ran through the opening that Shinku had created, the devils following shortly behind them.

Evelyn and his peerage awoke with a start when they heard an explosion. The boy yelled, "Get ready to fight!" Hajime summoned Donner and Schlag as Jason tightly gripped his axe in his left hand and his machete in his right. Yue and Evelyn prepared to fire spells, and Amethyst generated multiple hexagonal crystal shields. Looking to the west, the direction the noise came from, they made out a large group approaching them. Gradually, they made out two girls about Evelyn's age, attempting to run with heavy wounds.

The first girl had pink hair held up in pigtails by black ribbons and red eyes. She wore a black sleeveless haori with golden linings and black sode with golden lining over a black kimono top decorated with a pink floral design. On her hands, she wore slim gold-lined black kote. She also had a black skirt that started just under her breasts and reached down to mid-thigh, held in place by a black cloth tied into a ribbon and held together by loosely hanging golden thread. Strapped to her waist at her left hip was a katana, with a black handle with white diamonds down the sides and a golden hilt. Slung over her shoulder was a flintlock rifle.

The second girl had black hair with the back styled into a messy and wild bob cut, while her bangs fell down a little past her chin, and her bangs nearly covered her eyes. She also had an ahoge, which Evelyn absently noted his sister also had. The girl also had large dark blue eyes that were sunken and had dark bags underneath, which gave her an emotionless look. She wore a dark brown leather sleeveless jumpsuit that had the legging parts ripped off, so it stopped a couple inches above mid-thigh. She wore a white scarf, and had light tan gloves on her hands. Holstered on her brown belt were two flintlock pistols.

The girls halted when they saw Evelyn and his peerage. They tensed, prepared to fight when they looked back at the approaching horde of stray devils. They looked back at the group in front of them, conflicted by what was happening.

Looking behind the girls, Evelyn saw the strays. He said, "It's alright. Stay with Amethyst; it's the golem right behind us. We'll handle this." He walked up, glaring at what seemed to be the leader of the stray devils. He coldly said, "Care to explain why you're targeting these girls?"

The leader laughed and retorted, "You dare make demands of me like that? I am Berahmona, A-class stray devil! A no-name filth like you has no right to exist in my presence!" He moved to strike Evelyn, but the younger devil moved out of the way and quickly fired his Power of Destruction, killing at least ten strays that were too slow to move out of the way. Snarling, Berahmona shouted, "Kill them all, but keep the females for entertainment and pleasure!"

Coldly, Hajime began firing upon the closest strays, their bodies exploding from how many bullets tore into them. He removed his eyepatch, which covered his right eye, and took in the magical signatures the stray devils gave off. Shooting a few more strays, he switched to Schlagen and aimed at the largest part of the horde. Yue stood by him, firing spell after spell, taking out every stray Hajime missed.

Jason started a literal bloodbath. He hacked the strays apart, ripping off limbs and crushing skulls. He waded through the horde of strays, ignoring their pitiful attacks, which consisted mostly of strikes and stabs that wouldn't have affected him much even before becoming Evelyn's queen. Grabbing the nearest stray, he held its forehead with one hand and gripped its jaw in the other. Too late, the stray realized what Jason was about to do. The other strays stared in horror as their ally's head was torn in half, blood showering all over Jason's hockey mask and clothes. Turning to the other strays, Jason tilted his head and walked forwards, watching as they backed off, frightened looks on their faces.

Evelyn calmly walked around, using his magic to finish off wounded strays, and used his condensation magic on unmoving ones, causing them to scream in agony as they were torn apart by their own weight. Waving his hand, he sent his Power of Destruction out in the form of an arc, taking out the seven strays that attempted to attack him.

Berahmona was the last stray devil left. He snarled and roared, "How dare you kill my followers? Do you know how much effort it took to build an army so I could take over the Underworld to take my place as the rightful leader?" He charged at the young Gremory, intent on getting revenge. Before he could get too close, the girls shot him in the head.

Sighing as the stray slumped to the ground, dead, the pink-haired girl said, "Thanks for saving us. Mind if I get the names of our saviors?"

Evelyn blushed from the praise and said, "I'm Evelyn Gremory. The tall man in the hockey mask is Jason Voorhees. The white-haired guy with the robotic-looking arm is Hajime Nagumo and the girl next to him is his wife Yue. The golem is my familiar, Amethyst. Now may I ask what your names are?"

The girl smirked and replied, "You just did, but sure. I'm Mitsuhide Akechi, and Miss Sunshine over there is Shinku. We're in a bit of trouble, so do you mind helping us?" Her eyes widening, she suddenly dropped to all fours and started to cough. Her coughing became more violent, then it escalated to vomiting blood. As the few drops of blood on the ground increased into several large puddles, she grimaced and managed to say, "Fuck. It looks like we won't be able to get help for the both for us, Shinku."

Rushing over and supporting her body, Evelyn softly said, "It's going to be alright. Just take deep breaths." He gently held her hands, trying to heal her wounds. After a few moments, he looked at Shinku and shook his head sadly. The black-haired girl whimpered, and her eyes filled with tears.

Evelyn was about to lay Mitsuhide down when the girl gripped his wrist. She rasped, "I know that you're a devil. It's alright if you reincarnate me as your servant. That way, we both get what we want. I get to know that Shinku and I will be fine, and you get a servant. Please, do this for Shinku. She doesn't have anyone else…" She coughed again, blood spattering onto Evelyn's face. Her grip weakened, then her hand fell limp, her head rolling to the side. Sighing, Evelyn laid Mitsuhide on the ground and tested several pieces. Finally, it settled on his knight. He laid it on her chest, and began the incantation. Shinku watched with teary eyes filled with hope, silently praying her friend could return. The glow radiating from Mitsuhide's body disappeared, and she started breathing again.

Crying, Shinku tackled Evelyn, hugging him tightly. She mumbled, "Thank you for saving Shinku's friend…" She wobbled, then fell to the floor, unconscious.

Looking at Hajime, Evelyn said, "Heal Shinku. I'll take care of Akechi." He gently picked up the pink-haired girl and carried her to his tent. He continued, "Akechi's wounds can't be healed by what you have, and there's only one method I know of that can help her. Unfortunately, it requires direct skin contact. We'll sort things out in the morning."

Inside his tent, Evelyn carefully removed Mitsuhide's gun and katana. He then removed her clothes, careful to not agitate her wounds. Although he was perverted, Evelyn left the girl's bra and panties on to preserve her modesty, but still paused to stare at her soft curves. Stripping down to his underwear as well, he laid down right next to her and pulled up the blanket, pressing himself into her side. Channeling his magic, he started the healing process. It was slow, but the girl started to heal. As the time passed, Evelyn's eyes started drooping. His breathing slowed down, and after a few seconds, he fell asleep.

The next day, Mitsuhide woke up and noticed that she was in a tent. She looked to her side and realized that Evelyn was hugging her, lightly sucking on her shoulder. She tensed and tried to pry him off, but realized several things. One, she was wearing just her panties and her bra. Second, her wounds were healed. Third, Evelyn was subconsciously channeling magic into her body, easing the soreness in her body, which showed that he was healing her. Fourth, Evelyn was wearing boxers. And finally, Evelyn was a boy.

She screamed, waking the boy up. Shoving Evelyn away from her, she scrambled out of the tent, only to see everyone stare at her from the campfire they were sitting at. Holding up a bowl, Shinku bluntly said, "Breakfast is ready. Shinku thinks it tastes good."

A few minutes later, when Evelyn and Mitsuhide were both dressed, the two girls received explanations about what was happening. Sighing, Mitsuhide exasperatedly repeated, "So the only way for you to heal me after reincarnating me was to use a healing spell that required direct skin contact?" She rubbed her forehead, sighing at how it should have been expected, as there was no civilization in a five-hundred-mile radius.

Blushing, Evelyn retorted, "It's not like I like that option! Hajime and Yue have access to a variant of holy water that can heal wounds on the same level as the ones you had and even more, but since they've been using it for a long time before becoming devils, they're immune to the effect holy water has on devils." He continued, "If you were immune to the negative effects as well, I would have had it used on you too. Anyways, why don't you and Shinku tell us more about yourselves? I mean, we've got time before we leave this place. I've already alerted the devils back home about the strays, so we need to pass the time."

Mitsuhide sighed and complied. She said, "As you know, I'm Mitsuhide Akechi. What I didn't mention is that I'm the direct descendant of the original Mitsuhide Akechi, the general who lived during the Sengoku period of Japan. I use his flintlock rifle and katana, which have been enhanced by the Yokai Faction. I saved Shinku a few months ago, but I don't really know much about her. We were focusing more on survival."

Looking up from her meal, Shinku softly said, "Shinku used to work in a circus to get rid of anyone the ringleader didn't like. If Shinku didn't get rid of them, then Shinku wouldn't get food for a week, and sometimes they didn't feed Shinku for a month. Shinku uses guns that run on Shinku's magic. Mitsuhide saved Shinku, so Shinku will stay with Mitsuhide and help her." She turned back to her food and continued eating, making everyone sweatdrop at how blunt she was.

Brushing the crumps off his clothes, Evelyn said, "I'm glad that we got to know you more. And before I forget, Akechi, you're my first knight. That means you're faster, but have a lower defense than the other pieces. Jason's the queen, Yue's my bishop, and Hajime's my pawn."

Mitsuhide huffed and said, "I hate formalities. Just call me Mi-chan! And thanks for telling me what my position is."

Chuckling, Evelyn said, "Alright, Mi-chan. Members of the Gremory family don't really view their peerages as servants, and actually see them as family. After all, I am the youngest child of Lord Gremory. Anyways, the cleanup crew is here." True to his words, a large group of devils showed up. They immediately began to remove evidence of the battle, disposing of the stray devils' corpses.

One of them walked up to the group and said, "We appreciate your report of the strays in this area. Is there anything you would like to add?"

Yue calmly looked at the man and replied, "The leader, who called himself Berahmona, claimed that he was building an army to take over the Underworld and proclaimed himself to be the rightful leader. This was all we know about what was happening. I highly suggest that it is reported to the Four Satans as soon as possible." The devil paled and nodded, shouting at everyone to hurry.

Using a mix of magic circles and Hajime's four-wheel drive, the group traveled to various countries for the next two years, improving what they knew and learning new skills. Evelyn and Mitsuhide became closer, eventually becoming best friends. Shinku became Jason's closest friend. She had provided the massive man with a flu mask, sunglasses, and beanie to hide his appearance for when they were in or near civilization. Likewise, Hajime used his magic to remove the blade from his prosthetic arm's elbow and covered the appendage in synthetic skin. He also replaced his regular eyepatch with a medical one.

However, the group settled down in a small lesser-known town in Italy after Yue became pregnant with twins. They decided to go with the logic that the best place to hide from an enemy was to be right under their nose; in this case, in the outskirts of the territory of the Angel Faction, since they lived less than a minute's walk away from the town church, though they did avoid going too close to it.

During that time, Hajime panicked, having lost Myuu to the Demon King, not to mention that he and Yue would have to decide on a name for their son and daughter. After countless terrible suggestions from Evelyn and Mitsuhide – Seriously, what kind of names were Chunchunmaru and Chomusuke? And there was no way he would ever allow the kids to be named Siilka or Isdra! – the couple settled on Mononusa for their daughter, which Hajime said translated to "heart" in Enochian. Their son was named Aziazor, which, also in Enochian, meant "love."

One morning, Evelyn woke up to the sound of Yue yelling. He rubbed his eyes as he heard her whine, "Hajime! I said I wanted deep-fried waffles filled with sour cream, dipped in hot sauce, and covered with sour gumdrops!" The other inhabitants of the house blanched, except for Shinku, who drooled as she wondered how it would taste. They were forced to watch as their fellow devil pouted and disdainfully ate her breakfast, which consisted of chocolate-coated pancakes drizzled in sriracha sauce and slathered in cream cheese.

Looking away, Evelyn opened the fridge and sighed. Looking through the shelves and cupboard, he was met with the same result- there was almost nothing left inside. Looking at the calendar and noting it was Friday, the boy said, "It's about time we go but more food." He grabbed a banana and peeled it, slightly miffed that Shinku and Yue had eaten most of the food they had bought ever since the bishop got pregnant. It didn't help that she had lots of cravings and ate several strange food combinations. He would never look at cucumbers, Swiss cheese, and tuna the same way again.

Snapping out of his thoughts, the boy threw the peel into the trash and shoved the banana deep into his mouth. Tilting his head back, he swallowed it whole, ignoring the look the others gave him. Mitsuhide sighed and said, "You know that's not healthy for you, right?"

Burping, Evelyn shrugged and replied, "It's not like it was hot, though. I learned the hard way after that corn dog." He grabbed a glass and took the orange juice out, pouring himself a cup. Taking a sip, he continued, "But honestly, we need to buy more food. We're running out."

Immediately, Shinku raised her hand and said, "Shinku wants to help buy more food." Her eyes became distant as she drooled, thinking of all the things she could buy. Everyone facepalmed, knowing what was happening in her mind.

Hajime sighed and said, "I have to stay with Yue. Shinku can't be trusted to not eat half of the food, so she's out. Jason is out since even though he's gotten better with being near humans, he still stands out too much. So that leaves Mitsuhide to go with you."

Mitsuhide smiled and said, "Come on, Eve-kun, let's go!" She grabbed his arm and pulled him along, heading out of the house.

The others looked at the duo in amusement, until Yue piped up and said, "Now I want crepes filled with bean curd, dried squid strips, and peanut butter. And for the toppings, I want chocolate chips, ground tofu, and bacon crumbles."

Jason promptly left the room as Shinku requested to have some too, leaving Hajime to his fate. The white-haired devil sighed. Looking at the ceiling, he thought, 'Stay calm… I've made it this far. All I have to do is survive this for eight more months.'

In the market, Evelyn hummed cheerfully as he and Mitsuhide looked for eggs. So far, they had fruit, vegetables, meat, milk, more orange juice since they were running out, fish, some snacks, and ice cream. Finding what he was looking for, he turned to Mitsuhide and said, "We got everything we need. Come on, let's get back before Yue and Shinku eat everything left in the house!" Paying for the groceries, the duo started to go back home, but they were confronted. The two devils recognized the two exorcists in front of them. Evelyn bluntly asked, "Aren't you two the ones who attacked us a couple ago? Irene and Xenophobia, or something like that?"

The brown-haired girl scowled childishly and retorted, "It's Irina and Xenovia! You two devils will pay for our humiliation! Because of what you did, we got a hundred spanks! Each! And on each butt cheek!" She glared at them, unaware of the crowd that gathered.

Mitsuhide pursed her lips and replied, "We didn't need to know that. Plus, you attacked us in public when we were eating!"

Xenovia coldly said, "You two are devils, and we are exorcists. Therefore, it is within our obligations to eliminate you." Also unaware of the crowd that started murmuring, she continued to glare at the devil duo.

Evelyn pouted and asked, "I know that you're affiliated with the Vatican since you work there, but it's rude to say that we're devils just because we were eating gelato before noon! Plus, saying that you're exorcists and the people you killed were devils isn't enough to help you get away with murder!" He was careful to phrase the words in a way that would turn the crowd against the girls, since he and Mitsuhide were the only ones among the four to notice the attention they drew. Fortunately, he was successfully riling the crowd.

An angry voice called out, "What's going on?" On instinct, the crowd parted to reveal a frustrated Hajime. He growled, "Is someone going to explain? Evelyn and Mitsuhide went out to buy groceries since we're running out. My wife is pregnant with twins, and I don't want to leave her side longer than I have to." A young man pointed at the quartet. Hajime looked at them, before snorting. He scoffed, "I should have known it was you two. You attacked us two years ago with weapons. We were lucky that we were in my car. Even then, you still carved a deep trench in its side. Thanks to you two, nearly all the money we had was used on repairs. In fact, we were lucky to save up enough money to buy a house here with enough left to pay for rent and food! Even then, we had to save up money for another month so we could buy clothes, beds, a fridge, a microwave, and an oven! If that wasn't enough, we spent the first month using a cardboard box as a table and sleeping in sleeping bags on the cold hard floor! How do you think a pregnant woman will deal with this?" He conveniently left out the fact that the problem was solved when Yue shared a sleeping bag with him, and that the sleeping bag was .

That was the final straw. The citizens of the town glared at Irina and Xenovia, who finally noticed their presence. They gulped when they saw the venomous looks. Irina squeaked, "Why are you looking at us like that?"

The young man who pointed them out to Hajime growled, "So you nearly ruined a family's life and that's all you have to say?" He coldly continued, "If you don't know, a priest from the Vatican is right behind you."

The two girls turned around in shock, and to their horror, a man in priest's robes frowned at them and shook his head in disappointment. The priest said, "I'm very disappointed in you two. As followers of the Lord, you should be ashamed of yourselves. I'll be reporting this to the Vatican. Now leave. You are not welcome in this humble town until further notice." The two girls stiffened, then ran away.

Sighing, the priest turned to Evelyn, Mitsuhide, and Hajime and said, "I apologize on behalf on the Vatican." Looking to the eldest of the trio, he said, "As for you, I pray your wife will have healthy children."

As the crowd dispersed, he leaned in and whispered, "I know you three really are devils." The trio tensed. Seeing this, the priest waved his hand and continued, "There is no need to fight. You have not caused any trouble, so I will not do anything as long as it stays that way. Plus, you don't want all that food to go to waste, do you?" He walked away, heaing to the church.

Blinking, Evelyn said, "I have a feeling that life is going to get harder." He yelped as Hajime swatted the back of his head with his prosthetic arm.

The pawn retorted, "You're saying that now? The moment Yue got pregnant, life became harder for me, since I'm going to be a parent! Come on, let's go back." He turned and went home, the younger devils following behind him shortly.

Unknown to them, the priest was watching them. He dropped his disguise to reveal that he was extremely attractive, with his blond hair and bright green eyes. "So they're the devils in this town, huh? They seem like a lively bunch," he mused. Five sets of angel wings burst out of his back, propelling him into the air. "I guess I'll report this to Michael. But first, there's that bakery I've had my eye on. Might as well go now!" said Dulio as he flew away, leaving a few white feathers on the ground as the only sign he was ever there.

Back home, Hajime sighed as he watched the others tear through homemade pizza that had gummy bears, red wine sauce, prosciutto, mustard-filled marshmallows, and caramel pudding as the toppings. Evelyn and Mitsuhide had decided to try what Yue was eating, and to their surprise, they liked it as well. Shinku had already joined Yue some time before. Staring at the ceiling, the pawn thought, 'God, if you're out there, please give me the strength to bear this until the twins are born.' He ignored the pain in his head as the others winced in pain. Jason, who was still avoiding the others, felt a stinging sensation and scratched the back of his head.

If you get the reference for Chomusuke and Chunchunmaru, then you get digital cookies. For Isdra and Siilka, use Google Translate for Maltese and Somali respectively. They fit pretty well with the High School DxD genre. I'm stupid and terrible for coming up with those two names, I know.

Yes, I looked up an Enochian translator for the names of the twins. I had so much trouble finding words that had translations, I stuck with the two I tried that did and could fit into Hajime's and Yue's personalities.
