After Shido was summoned back to the other world, he discovered that Rinne and Rio where also there with him.

Since the chance of them still being together back on their world is small, Shido decided that they should enjoy as much as they can while looking for the others.

A few hours after being summoned to this world, they reached a town and spend the rest of the night on an inn.

Shido used Haniel's transformation ability to make some money. Normally, he wouldn't do such a thing, but he couldn't let both Rinne and Rio without a place to sleep.

Once Rio had fallen asleep, Shido explained everything to Rinne.

"I see. That's what's going on."

"Yeah. I'm sorry we can't just enjoy this time we have together, but I have to find the others and see what we are going to do."

"No. It's alright. Actually, I'm sorry for not being able to help in the fight."

"You don't need to worry about that. If you can summon some Guardians to protect you and Rio while I fight Ken's henchman, then there's no problem."

They both looked at Rio, who was sleeping in the bed by their side. They rented a room with two beds. One was a single bed on which Rio was sleeping and the other one was a double bed that they would have to sleep in.

Originally, Shido wanted Rio and Rinne to sleep together, but Rio just jumped on the single bed and fell asleep, so Rinne and Shido would have to sleep together.

"For now, let's sleep. We should make the most of our time by waking up early and playing with Rio while we look for the others."

"Yeah, you're right. Good night, Shido."

They slept soundly.

On the other day, they woke up early and, after eating their breakfast, went into the town.

Rio played with both Shido and Rinne and with some other kids.

Shido asked Rinne to keep an eye on Rio while he went to look for the others. After about an hour of looking, Shido came back and said he didn't find anyone. Rio then went to Shido and said.

"Hey papa, let's play."

"Yeah. Let's go."

They played around until the sun started to go down into the horizon. After that, they went back to their room.

After they ate their dinner, it wasn't long before Rio went to sleep. Shido and Rinne decided to sleep early as well.

However, Shido woke up in the middle of the night. He was sweaty. He had a nightmare that, when he got back to his world, Rinne and Rio would no longer be there.

He decided to take a bath to clean his sweat.

After he got into the bath, he started thinking about what would happen to Rinne and Rio once they went back to their world. There was a very small chance that they would be fine, since none of them used Eden's power this time, but Shido also felt that the worst might happen.

While he was lost in thoughts, Rinne also entered the bath.

"Woah! Rinne. Sorry, if you want to use the bath, I'll come out in a sec so wait just a bit more ok."

But, she didn't say anything. She just got closer to him.

When she was next to him, she dropped the towel that was covering her body. Now they were both naked on the bath.

Before Shido could get up, Rinne sat on his lap. Since Shido was naked, Rinne sat dangerously close to something. Although she certainly noticed it, she didn't seem to mind.

"You're thinking about when we go back right? I am aswell. That's why, like you said, let's make the most of our time. The three of us can play around during the day and in the night, after Rio goes to sleep, me and you can play like this."

Shido couldn't reply. That's because Rinne kissed him. But, unlike the time at Eden, she didn't disappear.

"I'm happy that we can kiss. I would find it hard for us to do these things without kissing."

Then, she started moving her hips on Shido. It seemed that she wanted to get him aroused.

"I'm sure the other spirits wouldn't mind. After all, we already had Rio the natural way once in Eden. And you also did that to Origami, Tohka, Kaguya, Yuzuru and the others in Eden. So, they can't really complain."

Shido was about to let his instincts free. After all, she and Rio probably would disappear again once they got back, so there's no reason to hold back right?

But, what stopped Shido was a little voice he knew since it first spoke.

"Huh? Are papa and mama on the bath? Then I'll get in too."

Before Rio got in, both of them separated themselves. Once Rio got in, Rinne said.

"Rio come here, let's clean you up."

Rio went to Rinne and the mother started cleaning up the daughter.

After seeing that Shido said in a voice that only Rinne heard.

"Even if it's just a small hope, I'll cling to it. No, I'll find a way that you two will be able to live with me and the others in our world."

Rinne had a small tear falling on her cheek, but no one saw that.

After that, they went to sleep.

The next day, they did almost the same they had done the day before.

But, this time, while Rio was playing with the other children, a man that looked to be about in his 20s seemed to be signaling for Shido to come closer.

Shido told that to Rinne and said that he was going to go after that man and that she should stay with Rio. After that, Shido went to the man.

Before Shido caught up, the man started walking. After a while, they were out of the town and in the forest close to it.

The man turned to Shido and said.

"I think you might already suspect about this, but I am one of Ken's henchman. I am called Carl1. I would say it's a pleasure to meet you, but since you and the girls with you will be dead soon, there's no need for that."

"You! Don't you dare..."

But, before Shido could finish his sentence, Carl shot an energy beam at him. Shido thought that he would die from that attack, but something happened before Shido was hit.

A green glow was shining and the attack seemed to fade away into nothing.

Shido didn't know what had happened, but he knew someone with an ability that could do something like this.

Once the glow stopped, Shido looked forward and confirmed that it was who he had thought.

"It's been a while Basara."

"Yeah. Now, let's beat this guy."

Both Shido and Basara got ready to fight Carl, one of Ken's henchman.

1- Since I can't be bothered to look for japanese names, I'll just put some random names on the henchman.

This is it for Shido's second chapter next one is going to be with Basara. This chapter got a little sexual in the middle, but I think it's still within what Shido would do in one of the Volumes (maybe I've been reading too much Shinmai).

I said that in Ichika's first chapter, but I'll say it here again. My favorite type of anime character is the childhood friend type. Even though Rinne is not really a childhood friend (well, she kinda is) she's my favorite Spirit in DAL. I wish she appeared more (actually, I wish they made another VN but with Origami as a Spirit and also Nia and Mukuro, but that's just my wish).
