We were then all quick to return home afterwards and us Fallen Angels or with Akeno now taking on her blood I should say members of Grigori went to my room which was still occupied by a sleeping Serafall who I immediately went to and sat next to her. Raynare and Kalawarnar came in and took to their own beds leaving Azazel to close the door himself and rest against it so to easily know if anyone was approaching, apparently he wants to keep this quiet and away from the Gremory group.
We started off business when Azazel noticed Serafall sleeping next to me peacefully.
"Is everyone's favourite Levi-tan still asleep? Where is her boundless energy, Gin-nya? Don't tell me you pounded her before coming to meet us?"
"Azazel, can you go for one minute not thinking about sex or Sacred Gears? She is asleep because it's one of the effects of a female breeding with a male Nekoshou. As she is not of my kind, her body is resting because the pregnancy is different so she will sleep longer during these two upcoming months."
Azazel just shrugged at my question before looking rather attentive when I explained why she was still asleep. He is a science guy after all.
"So what is going on Azazel? Why do you want us three to infiltrate the Khaos Brigade?"
"As i'm sure you are aware, the were rumours that Diodora Astaroth was stronger than expected and miraculously won his rating game which he was said to lose. You know as well as I do that there is only one thing in existence that could grant power like that and not be traced as an enhancement drug."
"Yes, the Ouroborus dragon and the leader of the Khaos Brigade, Ophis. Once I heard it, it did come to mind but I don't really know why he would join the Khaos brigade. You got any idea?"
"I got no idea myself but the only available candidates were him or the Glasya-labolas heir. They were both seen as the weakest but I would have expected they'd go to Glasya-labolas instead."
That did make sense, Diodora's older brother was Beelzebub after all … the new one anyway. The only thing I can see is maybe that if they win they he isn't subjected by them and can hold onto being free and go where he wants, it's the only thing that comes to mind.
"Then what exactly is the mission other than infiltrating the Khaos Brigade?"
"I want you to kidnap Ophis and bring her to me."
Kidnap … the Dragon God, is he crazy? That was heavy, really heavy and also rather impossible unless there is some development I'm not aware of yet.
"How the hell do you expect the three of us to do that?! She could kill us easily."
"It won't be that hard, we got a guy on the inside."
Vali … that could make sense. A heavenly dragon would attract her attention somewhat, they could have become acquainted while there. Would this mean that Vali is wanting to do this himself but still needs the Khaos brigade for something so is asking Azazel for help? Rather cheeky thing to do if it's true after betraying him like he did.
"So you are sending 1 6-wing and 2 4-wings to kidnap the second strongest being in the world from terrorists which happen to have descendants of Old Maou?"
"Precisely and it'll be your first mission and job as a Cadre."
That just makes me want to do it now regardless, this guy really does make me do the stupidest of things. Does sound like it could be fun though. Who could say that they kidnapped the Dragon God of Infinite? Hopefully me.
"Fine, it sounds like fun. Though I did think my first job was researching the moon after taking over from Sahariel."
"Well … Vali will be sending you co-ordinates shortly so infiltrate from there and stay low. Just prank Vali if you need help, also Ophis is currently in the form of a little girl wearing Gothic Lolita clothes, she has long black hair too."
So the oldest being around is a shape-shifter that takes on the form of a little girl, I don't know what to think of that. I really dont know what to think.
"Where will you be when I return?"
"I will be here of course. This is the only place with no possible traitors."
I'm not sure I like his reasoning even if it's the best one, plus no-one here would try anything with Ophis either from worry of being eradicated by her or disdain from me. They may not remember that fact about me but Koneko should after releasing her abilities, Asahi will have my back as well. The only problem I could think of is where would she sleep and what would she do during school?
Honestly, I have no reason to think about it now and talk it out with Ophis if and when I return. Actually thinking about it, if this is a stealth mission then why would he tell me to take Raynare and Kalawarnar with me. I don't believe they trained enough to deal with the amount of people that would be there. I'd suffice with illusions though.
Azazel caught my attention as I saw him looking at me, he sent a quick gaze over to the two female fallen angels then looked back at me. I nodded to him and he just shrugged in reply using that as his time to leave the room, which be did quickly.
He's allowing me to do the mission as I wish, I just have an objective. Thinking on it I need one of them to go with me not two. Both of them would be too much and only become a hindrance to me. Having one of them is the amount I can deal with plus my illusions can only cover up to one person other than myself, I should probably get round to improving on that. But the question here is who? Neither of them are stronger than each other and they both mean as much to me, the same result comes up into my mind if something was to happen to them even with it being visible that Raynare is 'ahead'. So does that mean I take Kalawarnar with me? No, that could possibly spark something with Raynare and I don't wanna do that.
How can I get them to settle it safely and without too much conflict? Best not think about it myself and get those two to sort it out, I have other things to do.
"Raynare. Kalawarnar. Only one of you is coming with me, sort it out."
I commanded it rather than plain said it, I didn't want them to think there was room for bargaining which there wasn't. I turned back to Serafall who was still sleeping although it seemed pretty light. I placed one hand on her shoulder and shook her eliciting small groans that could only mean that she was waking up.
Her eyelids flickered slightly as she looked up at me half-awake.
"Mornin' Sera. How ya feelin'?"
I asked as kindly and lightly as I could, no one wants to wake up to a loud, obnoxious voice.
"...Sleepy."
"Expect that for the upcoming two months, then we got kittens to look after. Anyway, I got something to tell you."
"..What's that Gin-chan?"
"I got a mission from Azazel so i'll be away for a day."
A yawn came from here as she lazily lifted up her left hand and tightened it, somewhat, into a fist.
"..Give 'em … hell ..."
Before she could even say my name she fell asleep and her fist softened and dropped back down next to her head. I stood up and walked to the door of my room and opened it.
"When you've made the decision on which one will come with, meet me on the roof?"
I gave the two a small smile before leaving my room and heading to the roof.
I decided to leave it there because i wanted the next chapter to be the preparation and start of the infiltration.
If you guys have a preference in which of the two Fallen Angels you want to see go with Gin whether it's to see them fight or see their progression with Gin.
The preparations will see something that I've wanted to do for a while but here is the only real time i can do it.
If you have a preference out of Raynare and Kalawarnar then please tell me in the reviews.
The next update from me will be in four days for this story anyway. Next chapter will be a double for the start of the KoBF remake.
I'll see you guys on whichever chapter you read next, Ciao-nya.
