The time has come! Some will die, some will not, but things will be solved, at least some of them I will still cry over gacha. Not that the last one has anything to do with the story. Actually, lately I was lucky with rolling Servants, so I should be happy, but let's just say I'm filling my stock of tears for inevitable bad luck.

Off we go!

[Ddraig out-loud / telepathically]

(Electric and others)


"Hello, Ise."

Kalawarner's voice hit Issei like a train. He knew what was waiting for him, that he was going to face the Fallen that deceived him, he wouldn't let anyone do it for him. It was his closure. Something he needed to do alone if he wanted to get over his death. He knew that all too well.

But those two short words broke the dam inside him and flooded him with memories. The meeting when she confessed-

"Would you go out on a date with me?"

-their walks after school when he treated her taiyaki-

"Mmm, I've never had taiyaki that tastes this good. Thanks Ise!"

-their date-

"Ise, could I ask you a favor?"

-everywhere Kara-chan smiling at him in a way that made him weak and could convince him to do anything she asked. Images flashed before his eyes reminding him of a week they spent happily-

"Would you... Die for me?"

And it made his blood boil in rage!

Kara was nothing more than a mirage created by Kalawarner to get closer to him. Every smile was faked and its only purpose was to help her get closer to him and kill him. When he was doing his best for her, she was laughing inside at the poor idiot dancing blindly to her tune.

[Enough! Control yourself!] Ddraig's roar shook Issei out of his stupor. Only then did Issei notice that his whole body was covered in dark-red Touki and his claws ripped long marks in a wall beside him. If not for his grandfather, Issei would have slashed in blind rage at the bluenette, ripping through the other girls without a care, and tear her apart. [You want to save that other Fallen and the nun? Then you can't just rush at her like some hotheaded rookie, but have to think before you move!]

When the only response from Issei was a low growl, Kalawarner decided to rub some salt onto the wounds. "Not a word? Mou, you're breaking my heart here. Is it how you act toward your girlfriend?" She then looked at her companions. "Or maybe you're here for those two?"

Reining his anger down, Issei checked the other two. Asia was chained to a cross next to Kalawarner, with only a plain white tunic on her, crying. Above her stood Raynare in short black dress, guarding the nun.

"Asia, Raynare, I'm going to-" Issei started, but was interrupted.

"Save them? I don't think so. Raynare follows my every word and will protect me with her life. Also, before you came here, I ordered her to either kill herself or the nun if I died or if she was going to be incapacitated. So, are you ready to sacrifice others for your revenge?" Kalawarner spoke, looking down on him as if she already won.

"What do you want?" Issei asked coldly.

"I'll tell you how we'll do this. You'll be good little Dragon and stay where you are when I and Raynare will get out of here. If you will behave, as a consolidation prize I'll leave you little nun. You deserve something for rushing to help so bravely after all." Kalawarner derisively smiled and lightly patted said blonde's cheek. Her smile grew even more and she gripped the smaller girl's face. "But try to fight and I'll order Raynare to kill you. You will easily beat her of course, probably even manage to stop her from killing herself. Yet I don't think you can do that and at the same time save poor Asia. Bwahaha!"

[Don't let her provoke you! Rage is a good fuel, but it needs to be controlled.]

{Listen to him, young one! You have to stay focused.}

When the two dragons spoke to him, Issei looked at the controlled fallen. Feeling sorry for his old friend, he turned his eyes to his new friend. When his gaze met Asia, he saw trust and innocence written on her face despite her situation and knew what he had to do. The Pawn of the Gremory closed his eyes, bowing his head and dispersing the dark red aura around him. Seeing this, Kalawarner smiled triumphantly and released the nun's face.

"Good boy. We'll be on our way and-"

"No!" Issei cut her off. Even forgetting about his revenge, there was no way he could leave one of his friends behind. He would not sacrifice an innocent girl either, so the only option for him was to find a third way. Kalawarner would send Raynare at him, but as long as she was on the offensive she wouldn't hurt Asia to use her as the last line of defense. That would leave him defending himself from both the Fallens' attacks without many options to lash back and result in a deadly stalemate which none of them could break without consequences. "Raynare won't leave with you and the only one who will die here is you!" He shouted looking defiantly at her, his aura exploding around him with roaring flames over it.

"Sep, how is your hunt for the last Fallen Angel?!" Of course, everything changed if a third party could remove one piece. If he could prolong this stalemate till Septimus got to the one controlling Raynare and break the spell, that would give him an opening to catch the bluenette off guard.

"I'm close. Hang on."

During their short exchange, Kalawarner backed off slightly at the sheer power emanating from the brown-haired Devil. Regaining composure she scowled in rage and she projected a yellow light spear. "Raynare, kill him!" She screamed and threw the spear at him.

Seeing the incoming projectile, Issei sent a wave of fire at the incoming weapon, vaporizing it. He blocked two more magenta ones, courtesy of the approaching Raynare. The Half-Dragon smashed another pair with his claws clad in Touki and immediately dodged the stab of another. When the black-haired fallen kept close summoning multiple spears to be shattered a second later, Kalawarner created another one for herself. She grabbed helpless Asia and destroyed the chains binding her with a short swing.

"You think you can win here?! You can't save them both of them, and if you won't hit back, one of us will kill you! Then, when you'll be lying in the pool of your blood before me again, I'll slit blonde girl's throat right in front of you! And this time, I'll make sure you won't come back!" The bluenette roared as she grew her wings. Knocking out Asia in her arms, she summoned another spear and flew behind Issei throwing it.

Having to protect himself from both sides while holding back was taxing for the Dragon hybrid. One mistake could cost a friend's life after all. After destroying another magenta spears, he quickly jumped off the way of a gold one. Not losing momentum, he skidded and deeply inhaled, to breath torrents of fire between himself and his enemies.

Using the few short, precious seconds of peace to plan his next moves of how to not to be overwhelmed, Issei prepared himself to buy as much time as needed. If he synchronizes it perfectly with his brother, his plan would work flawlessly, but for now, all he could do was wait and lead Kalawarner in a false sense of control.

DxD

"I'm close. Hang on."

Septimus was ecstatic. Running in the air between the trees with his senses pushed to their limits, the teenage Youkai was absorbing every sensation around him. It's been so long since he had seriously hunted something and now when he got his prey's scent, adrenaline pumped through his veins. Without a sound, he closed to the running group, a black shade with a white streak among shadows.

"Faster morons, we have to gain as much distance before they realize! When we're far enough, everyone gets close to me and we'll teleport somewhere else to regroup!" Through the forest, rung a sharp voice making Septimus grin at their idiocy. They didn't even try to mask their trails or scent and just ran in one direction in as a group. Not that they could hope to lose him, but that just killed almost all the fun for him.

With few more seconds of silent sprinting, he was above them, the group of ten Exorcists and a Fallen Angel. "Just a little longer and it'll be safe to teleport. Move faster and-"

THUD

Before them dropped a grinning Septimus, making the group stop. Exorcists instinctively raised barriers between themselves and the interloper who stood there swaying his tails.

"Man, that was some good jog, running after you. But unfortunately someone's waiting for me, so I'll take you seriously." He said lightly while his fingers started moving in the air.

The Fallen Angel leading the group walked to the front. Just like Azazel's data said, he had the appearance of a middle-aged man and wore a gray trench coat paired with a fedora. When he was next to he shield conjured by his subordinates, he grew four black wings and summoned a blue spear. "So someone caught up to us? Honestly, I'm grateful, Mr. Devil. When I was ordered to retreat after being gifted with new powers without even being able to use them, I was pissed off. But now with you here, I can test my new strength and still obey my superiors. Men, don't interfere! I'll beat this enemy myself and prove that the name Dohnaseek is to be feared! Let's-"

"Sheesh! You sure like to talk." Septimus stopped him as he put his headphones on and hid his cat ears. Finishing scribbling a spell in the air, he hit the play button causing the red parts on the headphones to shine.

WUUUUUU DUDUDU RETRRRRETTTE EEIIIIIIIIIII

Loud waves of sound at a hazardous volume and frequency emitted from the place where the orange-eyed Nekomata was writing, bypassing the weak defensive spells.

Seeing the exorcists dropping around him made him remember how Mirana's Sacred Gear gave him the idea of such a powerful technique. It was ironic how such a shy and quiet person had the loudest and flashiest powers among them, but even his crude imitation was handy to disable mass of weakling without killing them.

"Ugh, what was that?" Dohnaseek grunted dizzily with his ears leaking blood as he tried to stand. When he focused back on his cat-like enemy, he only caught him vanishing in a short burst of black smoke. In the next second, he felt a cold presence behind him and sharp pain coursing through his body. Feeling his limbs go stiff, Dohnaseek was snatched and thrown over the same devil's arm.

"And no one dare... disturb the sou~~nd of silence." Septimus sang satisfied, as he flew towards the church with the fourth Fallen Angel immobilized. "Issei, I've got the target. I'll break his control in a few moments, get ready to use your chance."

"Great! When you knock him out teleport here and evacuate Asia and Raynare!" Answered Issei, sending him the information on their location.

"Got it. Give her Hell!"

Ending their connection, Septimus arrived before the church and saw his master's Peerage finishing the last Exorcists. Before his King was a small Fallen Angel with her hands bound behind and lacking most of her clothes, probably because of the famed Power of Destruction, but besides that was unscathed.

"Yo, everyone! I see that everything's perfect on your end." He commented with a smile as he landed.

"And it looks like you did great too." Rias pointed to the man in his arms.

"Yeah. Senpai, could you watch him for a moment?" Septimus adjusted the older man in his arms and prepared to knock him out. "Alright, lights out in 3... 2... 1..." After sending a flare of energy to Dohnaseek's brain and stunning him, Septimus unceremoniously dropped the man and again disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

DxD

"Got it. Give her Hell!"

[Behind you!] As the older Dragon roared into his head, Issei spun around and slashed his tail out at the flying spear.

{Two more to the left!} Not even trying to block the light projectiles, the demi-Dragon grew his wings back and with a strong beat, flew over them.

The situation was becoming more and more uncomfortable for the brown-haired Hyoudou. While for now, he was unharmed, and the only things that were damaged were his clothes, running around and dodging missiles was exhausting. Thank goodness for Ddraig and Albion constantly monitoring the situation and helping him. Both of the fallen angels were also losing their strength from summoning dozens of light spears, but not fearing counterattacks and ganging up on him made their job a lot easier.

"Just die you filthy Dragon!" Yelled Kalawarner throwing yet another spear.

"Not gonna happen again!" Issei shot back, spinning in the air.

BOOM

The shining bolt flew harmlessly over Issei. However, when the spear hit the ceiling it exploded, causing debris to rain on him. "Shit!"

"Finally! Raynare, finish him!" Kalawarner screeched, seeing her chance in Devil's confusion. With the same mechanical movements, the ordered Fallen summoned two more spears and dashed.

"Alright, lights out in 3... 2... 1..." As Septimus' voice rung in his head, Issei prepared to make his move. When the counting ended, Raynare dropped unconscious, literally a puppet whose strings were cut.

"Promotion: Knight!" Shouting out those two words, Issei felt something inside of him morph, a new surge of energy coursing through him. Passing over the falling Raynare- no pun intended- he ran at an insane speed at Kalawarner, burying his fist in the bluenette's abdomen with enough force to send her crashing into the wall next to the stairs.

Right then, a moment before Raynare's body hit the floor, in a burst of shadows Septimus materialized, catching the unconscious girl. "Ohayo!" He greeted everyone.

"Wha...?!" Kalawarner screamed in surprise and spewed out a large amount of blood. Just then did she realize, that she also lost hold of Asia, who was now safe in Issei's arms.

Adjusting the one he held, Septimus teleported to his brother and took the other sleeping girl from him. "Ja ne!" And with that, the three of them were gone.

With now only two of them left in the room, Kalawarner knew how everything changed. She was all alone with an enraged Dragon, who was after her head, without any support, leverage or hostage. Again her plans were ruined by this half-breed and this time it would end with her death. No, wait, not only him. That one that just showed up with black and white hair was the same who stopped her from ending the Half-Dragon for good. He was like a black guardian Angel hovering over and stepping in whenever his ward was in danger- quite ironic.

"Ise, you wouldn't hurt me, would you? Please, forgive me. I'll do anything." Seeing no other option, she tried to plead for her life, no matter how small the chance it had. Wearing an innocent look and softening her voice, the Fallen Angel turned to Issei.

Without anyone standing between him and the woman, who was the reason of his and his brother's deaths, who enslaved his childhood friend and tried to harm his new one, Issei could finally let loose. Her plead only heated up the fire that burned in him for almost week and turned it into an inferno of rage.

{Now, show her why you should not mess with Dragon!}

[Kill her n the most painful way! For she must pay for what she has done!]

As his grandfathers roared in agreement Issei, stared at Kalawarner with disgust. "Really, anything? Well, there's one thing that you could do for me..." Kalawarner's face lit up. "Tell me, Kara-chan..."

He leaned in closer. "Would you die..."

"FOR ME!?"

As he spoke his voice grew darker and more primal. The last two words resembled more an animalistic roar more than a human voice. Fires around him erupted with new strength, dancing around and over him, giving him a demonic look while his scales that reflected the light only enhanced this effect. As Kalawarner stared into his normally warm brown eyes, she instead saw reptilian ones of a beast.

Overwhelmed with fear, the blue-haired Fallen Angel stopped any form of thinking and does the only thing anyone would do facing something like that. She turns around and flies up the stairs with everything she had, praying for a miracle. But there is none, for when she was halfway through the tunnel burning claws grasped her wing. Not slowing down, the savage Half-Dragon ran up the stairs to the chapel with his victim, leaving a trail of fire behind them. At the stairs' end, he threw her through benches.

"This is for manipulating me!" He screamed as he ran to her with a Knight's speed and brought his fist to her stomach, making her spew more blood. "This, for killing me!" A strong kick followed after that, sending her under the roof. "And this... Is for everything you've done to my family and friends!" He aimed at Kalawarner in her flight's peek and opened his mouth.

WHOOSH

Out of them erupted a large jet of fire that quickly engulfed the beaten black-winged Angel. As the roaring blazes shot up, burning through the roof and sending flames high into the sky, smoked remains of feathers rained down upon him, the only thing left from his now deceased ex-girlfriend. Sparing a last glance at them, Issei reversed his transformation and headed out.

{You did well. You've managed to save your friends and get rid of that crow, just as expected of my descendant.} Albion stated proudly, giving his grandson a mental pat on the back.

[He indeed did well, but not because of your blood, but mine!]

{As if!}

Tuning out arguing Dragons, Issei opened the doors and came face to face with Septimus, who had his headphones on and waved his hand like a conductor.

"You got you got the devil inside ya! You set the church on fire." Noticing his brother Septimus, took off his headphones and grinned. "Beautiful performance! So, how are you now, feeling better? Back to your normal self?" The nekomata asked, pulling his dragon sibling in a one-armed hug.

Feeling the tension leaving him, Issei let out a long sigh. "I think so. There is no more Kalawarner, I got my revenge and helped Raynare and Asia. No one got hurt, but-"

Septimus stopped him quickly with a flick on the forehead. "No buts now, except for a women's butts with your perversion! You did great. Girls rescued, bitch roasted, everyone's happy. Don't even try to sulk about what happened. You have your harem dream, we can't have you afraid of relationships with girls now."

"...I prefer breasts over asses." After a moment of silence following Septimus' joke, Issei answered with his own and light smile.

"And that's the spirit! Now go, there's someone who wants to talk with you. Or even few 'someones'." The black-haired Hyoudou approved, pushing his brother towards the group of the Devils and turned back towards burning building.

{… and that's what I think about you and your domination!}

[That was low Albion! In that case, let me tell you something about your supremacy-!] Turning his focus back inside his mind, Issei heard both Heavenly Dragons still going on with their rant against each other.

"Albion, Ddraig, if not for you I don't think I'd be able to save them. So, thanks, both of you."

Pure gratitude emanating from this simple sentence stopped both Dragons in their tracks. Neither was sure how to react, so both of them just grumbled something more or less sounding like 'You're welcome' and retreated back to their hosts.

"Ise! You're alright! I'm so happy!" Rias hugged his arm between her breasts smiling with relief.

"Ara ara. You've let out so much energy in this church that even here we've felt it. And those flames looked so impressive." Akeno hugged his other arm. "And it all gets me all excited." She whispered seductively with a slight blush, nibbling lightly onto his ear.

"Akeno!" Rias screamed, getting flustered herself. Blood slowly started drop from Issei's nose as his mind focused on the sensation of his arms being sandwiched by two beautiful girls who looked like they were about to fight over him.

BOOM

As an unexpected explosion rung through the air, the three of them turned around ready to defend themselves from some missed exorcist or a hiding fallen angel. What they saw instead was a figure of Septimus standing before the blown-up church with his arms spread and large magic circle before him.

"What are you doing?!" They screamed at him.

"Huh? Oh, well, this fire flare that Issei sent was most likely visible to the whole city. So, here I thought that it'd be easier to just fake it into a gas leak or something like that than mesmerize everyone." Both King and Queen thought about it and after a moment nodded with a hint of respect at his forethought. "Besides, I just wanted to blow something up. My opponent was seriously unsatisfying and I had to rush everything." And with that, all gained respect was gone.

"The problem is, that even if it was abandoned, this building still belonged to the church, and they for sure won't be happy with what you've done." Rias groaned lightly, thinking about all the paperwork that she'd have to fill because of that.

"We'll think about something, don't worry Buchou. But where are Koneko-chan and Kiba? Nothing happened to them?"

"They're alright, they just watch over prisoners. Let's go check on them." Dragging Issei away from Akeno, the crimson-haired Devil led her servants to where their comrades were.

As the two black-haired Devils were left behind, Akeno leaned closer to Septimus. "You were not so bad." She spoke lowly, sending shivers down his neck and causing his hair to stand.

"Leave me alone! Play with Issei, I'm not gonna be your toy!" Septimus yelled and run before them, leaving behind Akeno who laughed at how easy both brothers were to tease.

When the three of them arrived, they saw a group of Exorcists and Mittelt chained in a circle, with Kiba and Koneko standing over them and Septimus glaring at Akeno from behind the petite Rook.

"Great job, Issei-kun." The blonde Knight spoke with a bright smile, while Koneko only nodded her head in silent acknowledgment.

A bit further, the now awake Asia was kneeling over the still unconscious Raynare, a green light radiating calmly from her hands. When she saw Issei, she ran to him and crushed him in a tight hug.

"Ise-san! Thank you, thank you very much!" Young nun cried out happily.

"You don't need to thank me. That's what's friends are for." Issei answered with a smile as he patted her head.

"F-F-Friends?"

"Yeah. I mean, we're friends now, right?"

After his answer, the blonde hugged him closer with tears of happiness falling freely from her eyes. Meanwhile, Septimus, shielding himself with Koneko, walked closer to the crying girl and looked at her carefully. "Issei, I think I know why I wanted to protect her from the minute I saw her." He walked around her. "Visualize this: change her hair into a braid, give her a blue old-fashioned dress and armor over it and she'll look like Artoria! Saber! Color matches, eyes too, their build is similar and she even has an ahoge!" Septimus got more and more into his speech, making its target hide behind Issei, with the rest of the Devils looking at him weirdly.

"*cough* Otaku. *cough*" Issei smirked with a fake cough and smug grin.

"Fuck you!"

"I see that everything went well." A familiar voice caught everyone's attention and made them look at the sky. There, with an escort of ten Fallen Angels, was Azazel with his arms crossed.

"Azazel-sama!"

Azazel looked in direction of the chained group that called to him and turned to the Fallen Angels that were with him. "Take them and Raynare back to headquarters, I'll decide on their punishments later. But leave the Dohnaseek here, I'll interrogate him right now." With swift movements, his subordinates gathered around the Exorcists and quickly vanished in a green magic circle. When they left, Azazel dropped his serious face and flew down to the remaining group. "Phew, that was some nice fire flare and explosion. Let me guess, Issei and Sep?"

Then he spotted Asia, who was still clutching to Issei. "You must Asia. Nice to meet you, I'm Azazel. I'm terribly sorry for my underlings, I'll make sure to punish them accordingly."

"But that still won't solve her problem. She has nowhere to go, and I don't think she wants to stay in Grigori after what happened." Issei commented as he got out of the nun's hug.

"I could reincarnate her into my peerage, but I don't think that a member of the church would abandon the belief just like that." Rias offered them an option as she summoned her last unused Rook.

"I don't want to betray the Lord, but if that means I'd stay with Ise-san I'll-" Asia started quietly as she extended her hand to the Evil Piece, with every devil around her holding their heads in slight pain at God's name. However, she was stopped when Septimus grabbed her hand and looked her in the eyes.

"Wait, Nun Saber. Let's get this straight. You want to still follow Big Guy up high, but also want to have friends and be able to contact with Issei here?"

"Y-Yes." She answered with a nod, getting an encouraging smile from Issei.

"Nothing easier." Rest of the group watched him curiously as he took out the phone and selected number putting it on speaker.

(Hello?)

"Yo Dulio. How's my second most favorite glutton doing?"

(Hey Sep. Why you're calling, especially when in your country it's 1 AM?)

"Well, there are two reasons. First, you're on speaker and Issei is next to me. Say 'Hi Dulio'."

"Hi Dulio."

(Hey Issei. I hope you're doing good. Back in the supernatural?)

"Yeah, he is. And that leads to the second reason. He's met a young nun that was recently excommunicated but did nothing wrong and she only wants to have friends. Could you pull some strings and quietly get her back into the Church, in a way that she'd befriend some people? I'll get you full course meal made by Elaine and Mom together for that."

(Anything I'd want?)

"An-y-thing."

(Consider it done! Someone will come to get her in a few days.)

Rias and her group listened with curiosity to the phone call. When Septimus walked away talking over some details, Asia raised her head looking curiously at the brunette, not understanding how that person could help her. "Ise-san, how is the person your brother's talking to going to help me?"

"You see, Dulio is known as 'The Strongest Exorcist' in the church and I'm sure he'll be able to think of something." Issei said as if it was nothing much.

"Meanwhile, let's ask our rouge here few questions." Azazel spoke up as he pointed at what lay few meters away. "Himejima-san, could you?"

Getting a nod of approval from Rias, Akeno summoned small thunderbolt. A predatory smile spreading over her face indicated to everyone there what was going to happen, making everyone except Azazel and Koneko take a step back.

BZZZZZT

"Argh!" When the bolt hit him, Dohnaseek woke up almost choking on his tongue. Before he could even comprehend where he was, a pair of small but surprisingly strong arms grabbed his head from behind and a somewhat familiar face with golden bangs appeared before him.

"Hello there. Donnie was it? You see, It's been a long day and we have some questions, so how about you quickly answer some of them for us?" Azazel lowered himself over him.

"A-Azazel-sama." The Fallen Angel stuttered as an annoyed pair violet eyes bore into him.

"You recognize me, good. Let's make it short. Tell me who orchestrated all of this, so I can go and personally rip their wings off, and I'll just toss you in a comfy cell in the Grigori, instead of putting you through the same fate." The governor General let out a dangerous aura as he spoke in a dark voice, reminding everyone around that under his carefree attitude there was a veteran of the Great War, one leading a whole faction that held its own against the forces of God and the Four Great Satans.

Bulging his eyes, the terrified man couldn't avoid looking at the awoken monster before him. Forcing his mouth to talk, Dohnaseek immediately cracked. "I'll talk, I'll talk! Just please, spare me! I was just a pawn, he promised me more power and occasion to use it!"

"What or who 'he'?"

"He's the one who directly gave all orders to me, Kalawarner and that crazy Exorcist! He's-*cough*" Before Dohnaseek could say something more, a green seal appeared on his chest and blood filled his mouth.

"Hmm... A triggered suicide spell, someone must be observing and didn't want us to hear what this one could spew around." As both the Gremory group and Asia stared and at dead Fallen Angel, Azazel examined the corpse and looked around. Suddenly, hearing a rustle from the bushes behind them they turned towards its source.

"Everything's done. Did I miss something?" A certain black-haired Nekomata got out of the bushes, looking at the startled people before him.

DxD

In a dark room, stood two men looking at a large screen showing the scene at the abandoned church. A small flame appeared in the taller one's hand as he lit up the cigarette and placed it in his mouth.

"We'll have to report that mission was a complete failure. We neither eliminated the half-breed nor acquired the nun's Sacred Gear. On top of that, we've lost two Fallen Angels and almost got exposed."

"What have I told you about smoking in here?! Besides, remember that it was only 'almost'. We've silenced the talkative one, the Exorcist got away and they were kind enough to kill the blue one without asking any questions." The shorter man snatched the other one's cigarette and trampled it, annoyance evident in his voice since it wasn't the first time his partner did something like that.

"And that's the only reason you two are still alive. Now get out of my sight and fly to tell your boss about your failure, little crows, before I pluck your feathers." A cold voice spoke from the darkness behind them, giving both Fallens a visible shudder. As they hastily ran away from the room, a hooded figure neared the screen and trailed its hand over it. "You've proven that you can be an annoyance. But is this all you are, or will you be able to entertain me?"

Short backstory: During his first years after meeting Issei and being adopted into Hyoudou family, young Septimus was barely even talking to anyone outside of them and Azazel. Because the only things he remembered from his old life were shards mostly focused around his mother, he was obsessed with his past, for years searching about his father without any success. As time flew by he slowly opened up to other people and let go of his search of the past, with dyeing his bangs the same color as his birth mother hair as a memento of her. After Issei's accident, Septimus went on a journey around the world to learn new types of magic and let his brother have a somewhat easier time without him around.

Finishing first arc's revision, checked. Doing most likely unnecessarily long author notes, checked. Almost begging for reviews and the rest, checked. The last thing I have left to do is post next chapter. So, I wish you a great day, overall happiness and peace on earth, and when I hope that at least the first one will come to you, I also disappear without a sign to bring you late transition chapter.
