Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

Skull Flame; Hmm, good theory, it could be~ Haha, she surely is yeah~ They did yeah, they might appear in the future.

OechsnerC; Thanks very much! Yeah, Le Fay's come to the story now, and we'll be dealing with that as the chapters go on~

Ancient Sith Tulak Hord; Thank you very much! Maybe it is someone from that clan yeah~ Hmm, could be him, or it could be someone else, seems to have quite the flippant way that he speaks.

ShadowUzumaki55; Thanks! He did yeah, he managed to make the humans back down as he dealt with their different powers. Ravel managed to hold her own yeah~ She did yeah, I thought it would be a Rias like thing to do. For now it seemed that he escaped, we'll have to see for the future. It could be the very same person yeah. Shalba, maybe it is, we'll have to wait and see~ Haha, Le Fay's joined the group now, and is gonna be showing her stuff.

Guest 1; He surely is quite creepy huh~?

Silver crow; Thanks very much! Could be~ Koneko seems to be quite on that for the moment. He could do yeah. Yeah, both Black Clover, and Young Justice ideas seem pretty awesome to me~ Yeah, I like their current designs from the comics. Walburga is cocky, as seen in canon, so she would question his strength. Yup, Rias and Kuroka took them down. Eventually he will do yeah~ Akeno did support her huh. Raynare's body was losing control, she was dying so yeah the power was over the place. Zenki naturally would be like that yeah. He cares because it's still experimentation by manipulating, even with the truth, the Fallen were desperate, and the leader of the group knew that and still used them. Well, who knows, we'll soon find out about that~ Maybe it was Azazel, or someone else~ He's still effected by what happened to his Mother. Koneko wasn't going to take another Loli coming in. Maybe they will, we'll find out soon enough. Yeah, they've been on the wikia for a good while now, since last year at least. If we knew more about them, then it would be good, it's why I tend to stay away from things that haven't been fleshed out in case new information is known about that thing. Yup, seems like he's gone alright. I don't really think about limiting, I go with what makes sense for the story at that period, it wouldn't make sense for Zenki right now to be at that level, be strong yes, but not that high of a level. He'll probably get a page as the LN's translated and we know more about him. Yup, lots of new ranks for a number of characters. From what we know, Irina is yeah, Dulio might have them but we haven't really seen him lately so we don't know yet. Since Ajuka made them, it's quite plausible that he could do that, and it makes sense that she can't be in normal Rating Games with the two super devils she has. Yeah, the first two make sense, Loup...probably because he's strong and it's mentioned I believe Sona's not going to be fully on the front lines anymore, so she wished for her stronger servants to help out while she sorts out the Sitri clan. The Balance Breaker's alright, it makes sense since we've seen what her normal Sacred Gear could do.

Guest 2; Thanks for the vote!

weslyschraepen; If we knew more about it, definitely. Right now we don't know much about them.

Guest 3; Thanks for the vote!

Neonlight01; Thanks for the votes!

guest; I don't know when yeah, and it will be out this week. I'll be rewriting it for a few different reasons. I'll be rewriting them all eventually, this poll was just to see which one was first. Yup, they surely can do.

Andrew123456; Yeah, he was quite underused. I don't know about joining sabretooth, perhaps when the guild disbands for that year. He could do yeah, and we'll soon see them competing alright~ That's a pretty interesting backstory, I do like the sound of it. Eeh, yeah maybe in a different story for Naruto. I guess she could be introduced that way.

luiseduardob303; Thanks for the suggestion, I'll consider it~

shinigamisama455; Haha, yeah maybe so~

Guest 4; It will be shown in the new story.

Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!


Relieving worries!

After taking in Le Fay to the house, Asia began to make sure that she was checked over while the others did other things just in case they needed to defend themselves, though they were mostly sure that the threat for the moment was over.

As they were doing that, Zenki witnessed Le Fay kept looking towards him with an admiring smile on her face, and also she kept twiddling her thumbs together again and again. It seemed that she had a mixture of nervousness and excitement within her, mixed together with sadness.

It was a combination that Zenki hadn't really witnessed before.

Though he was wondering exactly what had happened for Le Fay to be like this.

"So, Le Fay-san, how about explaining-"

Before he could continue, Le Fay swiftly spoke up.

"Zenki-sama! First of all, I am so sorry about what's happened! With everything happening, I have to say that I am sorry for bringing this trouble to your door! It wasn't my intention in the slightest! And Onii-sama, he didn't mean to harm you at all! He doesn't know what he's doing!"

Zenki breathed out slowly, seeing that Le Fay seemed to be panicking about the situation at hand.

"I don't blame you or your Onii-sama for what happened. It seems that the enemy targeted you for a very specific reason, his skills with a blade are undeniable. His sword is the strongest Holy Sword in existence." As he said it, his hand gently overlaid with Yumi's own, showcasing his affection and kindness so she didn't have to worry. "It makes sense that he'd want him on his group. But to control him...it leaves little room in my mind, it seems that his technique is even better than what was used on Suou Himejima all those years ago."

"S-Suou Himejima? Who is that exactly?"

Isane's question was sent towards Akeno due to the similar names.

Akeno inhaled, thinking about the past with Suou, and how he had chased her and tried to harm her.

But seeing Zenki's comforting smile on her form, she placed those memories in the back of her mind, and showcased a small and caring touch to her expression.

"He was, my Granduncle, and he was controlled also. However, unlike this, it seemed to be an experiment that wasn't fully realized. He was only more angry and giving into those desires than outright control. It seems that Arthur-san was being fully controlled."

Le Fay's head dipped down, thinking about her brother and what happened when she had disappeared, the regret and anguish that was on her face.

"...I ran away. I was a coward. Onii-sama told me to run, but he...he stayed behind...and my cowardly actions..."

"If you had stayed, would the outcome have changed?"

Zenki's words caused Le Fay to begin thinking about what he had said.

"W-Well...no, probably not. But even then, I..."

"That man, is very powerful. If you had been captured, then you couldn't have gathered allies to fight him, to expose what he's intending to do. Honestly, when you mentioned he was being controlled, I was surprised, I had a vague idea that something was amiss, but I wasn't sure fully."

Le Fay's eyes began to water, her small body shaking side to side.

"…I lost Onii-sama...and now if he dies..."

Seeing the young girl in distress, Asia went to give a comforting hug, when Vali cleared her throat.

"He wont kill him." Vali interrupted. "He clearly needs your Onii-sama for something. Until he's got that thing, he'll keep Arthur Pendragon around. It seems that he wishes for strong warriors, which I do believe is an interesting thing."

Zenki nodded at what Vali said, and then continued.

"She's right, Le Fay-san. You aren't to blame for this. Your Onii-sama truly must have loved you if he stayed to fight a losing battle, to protect you. In my eyes, he did a very noble and self sacrificing thing, and it paid off, since you're safe, here." Zenki sat down next to the young girl, placing a hand on top of her head. "We'll save him, alright? No matter what happens. We'll find out more information and find him, I promise. Until then, you can stay here. Ravel-chan, you'll sort out a room, right?"

"Yes, leave it to me Zenki-sama."

Ravel bowed her head as she said it, giving Le Fay a soft smile, Le Fay being touched by the act of kindness, so much so that she was on the verge of shedding tears.

Zenki gave a thankful nod, then turned towards Le Fay once more.

"You're not alone anymore, we'll stay right beside you, and we'll do what we can to return your Onii-sama. Until then, you can stay with us, it isn't a problem. If you need anything, just ask."

Le Fay's eyes overflowed with tears.

All of these acts of kindnesses were too much for the young girl.

She didn't think that she deserved all of this kindness. With Arthur attacking them under control, with her just showing up like this and placing a burden on the entire group, it was something she couldn't comprehend.

"T-Thank you so much..."

Le Fay collapsed into Zenki's chest, and hopped onto his lap, something that Koneko wasn't thrilled about, tightening her hand, and showed a small scowl on her face.

Kuroka, unable to resist the provoking, gently poked the young girls face.

"Ararara, it seems that Shirone's spot as Head Loli is being challenged. Oooh, I wouldn't want to be Le Fay-chan right now nyaaa~ She will get the wrath of the loli~"

Le Fay whipped her head around (many were surprised she didn't have whiplash), shaking her head many times.

"No, no! You've got it wrong, I wouldn't challenge Koneko-sama for such a position at all! I understand how important that is to Koneko-sama, and Zenki-sama's harem as a whole, I actually am supporting Koneko-sama!"

Koneko slowly nods her head, impressed with what Le Fay had said.

"Good, my status is secured nyan."

Le Fay then turned back to Zenki with teary eyes, so his finger brushed under said eyes.

"Lets work together, okay? We'll definitely find him."

Le Fay gave a humbling smile on her face.

"...Yes, thank you Zenki-sama, you're so kind."

Zenki gently stroked the young girls head.

"It's getting late, so we should think about going to bed." Upon hearing that, Koneko swiftly shot off upstairs to the confusion of most. "Tomorrow, we've got a busy day, we'll be going to the Underworld to greet one of Yumi-chan's comrades, but for now, I'll be taking the Fallen Angel girls to the Grigori, along with that psychopath Freed."

They began nodding, and Ravel went over to Le Fay.

"If you'd like to follow me, I'll set you up in one of our guest rooms."

"Aah, you're so kind, thank you~"

Le Fay replied kindly, and went away with the young woman, while Rias gave a curious look.

"Is it alright to allow her to stay here? I know she's been through a few things..."

"It's right to be cautious, but I don't sense any malice from that girl, she reminds me a bit of Asia-chan actually, how pure of heart she is."

Rias gains a sly smile, something that Zenki raised an eyebrow about.

"Aah, I see. So is she going to be added to the harem?"

Isane quickly shot up her hand.

"Not before me! I wont come in last to her! She's new! I should have the first time with Zenki!"

Zenki gave a curious look, before shaking his head, and cracking his neck side to side.

"Anyway, I'm going to go and get ready to take the Fallen Angels, and Freed to the Grigori."

The others nodded as Zenki disappeared upstairs.


Zenki retired to his bedroom to get ready to take the Fallen Angels and Freed to the Grigori.

However, when he entered, he saw that Koneko was laying on the bed, only wearing a small kimono that hung off her shoulders, exposing her small breasts. Wearing panties that had a cats head design, Zenki could feel himself blushing immediately, due to how cute Koneko looked, especially with her Nekomata form showing, her cat ears, and her long white tail.

"Koneko-chan, why are you..."

"...Zenki-senpai, it was our night tonight to share a bed, just us nyan."

Zenki gave a regretful look, knowing that he had to do a few things.

"Aah, you're right. But I have to take Raynare and her gang, Azazel-san's expecting me. I'll make it up to you, I promise."

"...Yes, I'd like Zenki-senpai to spend a night alone with me soon."

Zenki bent down, kissing the young girl on the cheek, causing her cheeks to flush.

"Definitely, just me and you Koneko-chan."

As he said it, he took off his shirt, revealing his torso to Koneko.

Her body began to quiver at the sight of Zenki's naked upper body.

She then saw that he was taking off his pants, and though she didn't say anything, she also did like seeing Zenki's body up close and personal like this.

Even her eyes grew when seeing his pants coming off, and sliding off to the side.

Her blush grew as she watched Zenki's near naked body moving through the room.

"...S-Senpai, I really..."

Zenki paused, turning to his Rook who was blushing cutely.

"It's alright to look, Koneko-chan. I don't mind."

Koneko felt embarrassed about admitting she did want to see Zenki in a certain way.

Though Zenki caught what she was feeling, and gave a soft smile towards her.

"Koneko-chan, we've had baths together before, you're my adorable Rook, you can look at me like this."

Koneko sat up on the bed, and perched upwards.

Her small breasts were on full view, her hands pushed against the bed, bringing her body upwards, so Zenki moved forward, and gently embraced the young cat girl. Seeing her blush growing all the more, Zenki gave her tail a small stroke, Koneko's face lightened up and she let out a cute meowing sound.

"How adorable, Koneko-chan~"

Koneko's blush grew to expand all over her face.

She felt embarrassed that she did meow so sensually at the touch of her tail.

"...Zenki-senpai, that girl, Isane-senpai..."

"I know she's got a perverted side, but she's got a good heart, I'm sure she'll show you sooner or later. She even became upset when she thought others were being hurt because of her. She's an interesting girl alright."

Koneko turned her head towards the right hand side.

"...I'll decide to trust in you Senpai for the moment. ...I'll reserve my feelings until seeing this so-called kind side to her. Though I will agree that I did see her try and confront the Fallen when she didn't have any power."

Zenki gave her a curious stare.

It seemed like though Koneko couldn't figure out Isane, she was still willing to at least attempt to see what kind of person Isane was.

"Haha, thanks Koneko-chan. By the way, I'll be going to the Underworld soon enough to help out the new member of Yumi-chan's, and our, extending family. Tomorrow I believe if nothing else comes up."

"Senpai, do you need some of my Senjutsu power?"

Koneko asked, while spreading her arms open wide as if she was going to hug Zenki.

Zenki responded with his arms wrapping around her, and his fingers slowly going over her long tail, a small meowing sound escaped her mouth, as she nuzzled against his face sweetly, almost like a true cat when displaying affections.

"If you don't mind?"

Koneko shook her head, and leaned back onto the bed once getting out of Zenki's arms. With a cute expression on her face, her eyes locked with his own, and beckoned him closer so his body leaned down, hovering over her form.

"...If Senpai is the one doing it...then I'll feel the best."

Zenki chortled, and placed a hand on her small body. Going quickly into a draw, he pulled out a magical seal written on some paper, which helps gather the Senjutsu from Koneko and place it within a special bottle.

Releasing that, he got beside Koneko as she curled up to him.

She then became summoning her Senjutsu, which Zenki gathered by using the magical seal around them. Her face became more flushed by the second as Zenki held her close to his body. The warmth of his body sent pleasure through her.

"...Senpai, when you hug me like this...it feels...it feels so good...being comforted by my King..."

"Comforted...Koneko-chan, is there anything on your mind? You can talk to me about anything, you know?"

He said it while brushing some of her white hair out of her face tenderly.

Koneko shook her head, pulling closer to Zenki.

"...It's difficult competing with the others, since they're so endowed..."

"Endowed...in the chest area?" Koneko nodded while looking down at her small breasts. "Koneko-chan, I don't really care about the size of a girls chest. Big, small, each are great in different ways, plus I just prefer the girl more than anything."

Koneko, upon hearing that, crawled onto Zenki's lap, as he laid down, and ran her fingers across his upper body.

"...Even me, Senpai? If I...i-if we had...s-sex...t-then it would be good…?"

"Yes, I'm sure it would be amazing, Koneko-chan."

Koneko flushed upon hearing that, bending down and kissed Zenki on the cheek.

"Senpai, thank you. Though I am small...I'll also do my best, a-and when we have...s-sex, I'll make sure it feels amazing."

"Haha, we'll both do our best, Koneko-chan."

Zenki smiled up at the young girl, running his hands down from both sides of her body, and rested them on both sides of her hips, with some of his fingers resting on her butt. Koneko meowed at his fingers touching her, and didn't want it to stop, and it didn't for a good ten minutes, while Koneko kept releasing Senjutsu and Zenki held her tenderly, something that Koneko truly loved when he did. His arms felt protective, safe, and as if she'd always be happy within his grasp.

She truly did feel good with her King, and nothing could change that.


After that, Zenki took Raynare, Kalawarner and Freed to the Grigori once more, with magical rope binding their bodies so they couldn't escape from this place.

It felt rather familiar to him to do this, he had done it a number of times, and now that he could finally be done with the Fallen Angels, he wasn't going to lie, it did feel refreshing.

"I hope you're proud of yourself Zenki Astaroth! Doing this to an innocent girl! I am a young woman who has been mistreated! You should be kind to me Devil!"

Raynare said it in an attempt to cause pain to Zenki, hut he was left more confused than anything else.

"Erm...I'm not really sure what you're doing, but it isn't my fault that this happened to you. You decided to turn to the dark side, I didn't force your hand."

"You would say that, the weak like us need power, and you've got it. How else are we supposed to gain power?"

"Train, ask Azazel-san for advice, gain an Artificial Sacred Gear if you don't have a real one. You have options, but you chose to attack an innocent girl. I wont be your judge, but I will say that you went about it the wrong way. What's wrong with just being with your friends? It seems that your friend Mittelt-san and Kalawarner-san cared about you. Even that Dohnaseek did and he didn't give anything away about you. You had friends, you had people that cared about you."

Raynare contemplated what he had said.

It was sweet words.

But she still felt strong in her convictions, not that Zenki expected to change her, or anyone else's mind.

"You know, I'm not going to thank you for saving my life! I still hate you!"

Raynare said defiantly, but Zenki didn't care.

"If you want to make it easier on yourselves, you need to tell us what you know about the person who gave you that jewel."

"I refuse! I am not doing anything you say! I will never agree to that!"

She snapped at him while Kalawarner sighed.

"If I tell you, do I get a better sentence?"

Raynare shot her eyes for Kalawarner who wore a disinterested look.

"Kalawarner! I can't believe you! Do not betray the sisterhood!"

"Is Dohnaseek apart of the sisterhood?"

Zenki joked with Raynare who scowled at him.

"Yeah, laugh it up. One day, I will rule supreme! You will call me Supreme Ruler Devil!"

Zenki had to question her about what was happening inside of her head.

"Alright then. For now, Supreme Ruler, it's time to face Azazel-san, a higher authority than you."

Raynare snarled, as Freed swayed side to side.

"Well, I don't know if I like this~ If I get out, I'll definitely come and find you again Zenki-kun! I've begun falling deeper into the desires of wanting to slash your body apart! Can you make that wish come true for me please!? I want to kill you! Seeing your blood would be-"

"Shut up Freed."

Freed snarled, shaking his body to try and free him of the binds around him.

But he couldn't in the end, with Zenki continuing to push them forward.

"I'll kill you, you know that right?! I'll be so happy when you're killed you piece of-"

"You'll be locked away and even if you ever manage to get close to my peerage members, I'll kill you myself, understood?"

Freed huffed, feeling a deep fear beginning to grow within him.

"Onii-sama's being unusually harsh lately, I don't know what to say~ Maybe I should cleave you up and make sure that you-"

"Seriously, shut up Freed, you're getting on my nerves."

Kalawarner snorted while Freed growled intensely.

Eventually, they got before Azazel who was waiting within his office. Raynare's eyes couldn't meet Azazel's own, who was looking down on each of them with a harsh gaze.

"I've been trying to get them to speak, but apparently Raynare doesn't want them to betray the sisterhood."

"Is Dohnaseek apart of the sisterhood?"

Azazel gave intrigued eyes to Raynare who felt like shedding a few tears while Zenki let out a small laugh.

"Hey, I said that too~"

Azazel and Zenki let out small laughs, while Raynare sobbed some more.

"A-Azazel-sama, it isn't like that! It's...ugh, I don't know what to say..." Raynare began turning on the tears, something Zenki thought that was quite transparent. "Azazel-sama, I...I...I am so sorry...I-I was a fool...an-and..."

Raynare tried to explain, but Azazel stopped her with an extended hand.

"No, Raynare. Save your words. I had asked Dohnaseek to do a mission, and it turned into this. You tried to kill the Boosted Gear wielder, you disobeyed my orders, and what's more, you endangered a number of my friends."

Raynare felt terrible about it, she couldn't meet with Azazel's eyes.

Kalawarner's head rose up ever so slightly.

"Azazel-sama, it wasn't just Raynare...I also participated in this task, I knew that I shouldn't...but, I simply had to stand beside Raynare, she is a friend of mine, I couldn't abandon her."

"Those words do sound good Kalawarner, I do like that you stood with your friend. But rather than helping her with this plot, you could have convinced her to not do this. But you did in the end, and caused all this strife."

Kalawarner's head hung down while Freed swayed side to side.

"Hehehehe, I don't regret it, I got to fight strong people! Though I lost, does that mean I'm a bad boy? Am I going to be punished Azazel-chan~?"

Azazel gave disgusted eyes towards Freed.

"I'll be dealing with you shortly. All of you disobeyed me...I had thought that you guys would have gone far one day, but to do this...it's difficult in speaking to you. Just know that you wont be getting off lightly, and you'll also be telling us about exactly who recruited you."

"N-No one."

Raynare lied, but Azazel could see through it.

"You can't lie to me Raynare, it seems that you either are loyal to them, or you're scared of them. Either way, you will be explaining your actions to me, Raynare, Kalawarner, and Freed also." No one said anything, so Azazel sighed. "It's alright, I will be getting the information. If you tell me, your sentences will be lighter."

"Azazel-sama, it was...never mind."

Kalawarner murmured, unable to make eye contact with Azazel.

Azazel with a heavy heart, waved his hand towards the right hand side, seeing a number of guards, including Akeno's Father stood there.

"Please, take them away."

[Yes sir!]

Zenki watched as the Fallen Angels were taken away, as well as Freed. Baraqiel glanced towards Zenki as he left, and didn't look exactly thrilled, it seemed like he had a stern expression on his face, though Zenki wasn't exactly sure why that was.

Once they were on, Azazel folded his arms.

"So, did you find anything out?"

"Definitely, the person that caused problems back then with Diodora, and Naberius, is behind this, he didn't even deny it. And he's powerful. I'm sorry to say he's probably stronger than you are. Though he isn't to my Otou-san's level from what I can tell. Even then, I felt the air of intelligence coming off him, also the air of arrogance. The way he spoke, the superiority within his voice was quite apparent."

Zenki reported, with the elder Fallen Angel looking on seriously.

"Hmmm, I thought something similar even back then. But they actually confronted you. Do you have any ideas on what this persons objectives were? Did they reveal anything to you?"

Zenki shook his head.

"Apart from bits and pieces that filled in the blanks, I couldn't get anything concrete about it. I know that they aren't to be underestimated, his power managed to blast Vali-chan away with a single attack, as well as stop her punch."

"...Damn, it seems that this enemy is a strong one indeed. Though I wonder how he'd fair if she went Juggernaut Drive?"

"I don't know, it didn't get that far. Though I'd have to say that it could be a place where the Heavenly Dragon's power might not be enough. I did sense a good deal of power, but the way that he dealt with Vali-chan was expert, his technical ability was far beyond what I thought it would be."

He revealed with a troubled expression on his face.

Azazel knew that it must be serious if Zenki looked so troubled.

"Then I suppose we should be prepared. Either way, thanks for bringing the Fallen Angels back here. Maybe with some time and effort, they could finally begin going forward. I don't want to lose hope with them yet, maybe I'll be able to change their minds."

"It's a good idea, and it sounds like something you would say. I'll leave it to you Azazel-san. For now, I've got a number of things to do. I've got to get to the Underworld for a big awakening tomorrow, while also doing a quick check on Kuoh and making sure that it is alright."

Zenki bowed his head, and began leaving the area, with Azazel glad that this, for the moment, was over with.


Meanwhile, Rias sat within the living room of the Zenki/Rias household, and stared into the sky, with the stars twinkling and the moons beams lighting up the room, as she contemplated what had happened through their day.

Soon though, she was joined by Isane who sat down nearby.

"Ara, I am surprised you're still awake, Ise."

Isane showed a slightly weird expression on her face.

"Actually, I've been thinking Buchou."

Rias fully turned to Ise, intrigued by what she had been thinking about.

"Oh? Have you made a decision?"

Isane went to answer…

But then she stopped, and turned to another question instead.

"Buchou, before I say anything about that, can I ask you something?" Rias nodded for her to continue. "Then...when I was seeing the lengths the Fallen Angels went today...is it always like that? Though they were the enemy...I felt a certain sadness for them. I can't explain it well...they did horrible things...but hearing how they had been looked down upon...it made me feel for them, though I still hate what they did to me...and to you guys as well..."

"...Yes, I must confess that I also have been feeling similar things. Though we were able to take them down, the Fallen Angels did have a point about the way the world works. Though, they went about it the completely wrong way and couldn't even fathom what could have been if that was me. Being born to the Gremory, I did have privileges that others wouldn't have. It makes me wonder what my life would have been like if I had been born to a different clan. But, this is the life that I was given, and like Zenki, I also wish to help people less fortunate than myself. I also want to become a good head of the clan that I lead, and make sure that others have a better life than they do now."

Isane showed a soft smile on her lips.

"Buchou, I wasn't sure about it at first. I thought that maybe being in your peerage, I'd not be able to become accustomed...but, you're pretty cool."

Rias raised a curious brow.

"Thanks...I think."

"Then Buchou, I have a request, okay? If I join your group, there's one thing that I want."

"You want to be apart of Zenki's harem. Fufu, I don't have much sway there-"

"No, not that. That's a given anyway. I want something else instead."

Rias became more intrigued.

"What's that then?"

"Will you help me become a High Class Devil? Ultimate Class? Even beyond maybe?"

Rias had to admit that she was caught off guard with that kind of question.

She didn't think it would be something like that.

Though it just made her more interested in what Isane was truly thinking about right now.

"I can certainly help you. But may I ask why? Is it to have a peerage?"

Isane shook her head again and again.

"That's a good part of it, but I have another reason. Seeing the Fallen Angels, and how they spoke, it makes it seem like this Longinus of mine is something that I should strive to use, that maybe I can be strong with it. And if I grow stronger, then I can protect people also, like Zenki and you did. Maybe it's a simple dream, but I've already seen the kindnesses of both Buchou and Zenki-kun, so maybe I could be like that too. I could protect people, people that couldn't fight back like myself. If I was a Devil, I could do that, right?"

Rias couldn't hide the smile that was growing on her face.

"I see, if that's your reason, then I can help with that. If you're sure Ise, then I'll turn you into a Devil whenever you're ready."

Isane shot up, and showed a bright smile on her face.

"Yes, leave it to me! I'll definitely do it!"

"Haha, good response Ise, then we'll get to work when you're ready. The Red Dragon and the Crimson Princess, not such a bad pair, wouldn't you say?"

Isane gave her a curious look, seeing Rias fluttering her long eyelashes.

"Y-Yeah! We could totally seduce Zenki together!"

Rias scratched her cheek in a curious manner.

"W-Well, I wasn't thinking about that...but, if that's the way you wish to go then I suppose it's..."

Isane grabbed Rias' hands, and held them tightly.

"Will you do it Buchou?! Will you aid me in getting Zenki the best harem ever!?"

"T-The best harem ever?"

Rias was baffled by how Isane seemed to be so persistent on this.

She hadn't ever met anyone like Isane before, she was one of a kind in her eyes.

Isane though didn't stop, and continued on while showcasing a wide smile on her face.

"Yeah, me and you will come together, and gain the best members! I mean, you want to be with Zenki as well, right!? You even have bathed naked together, have you seen the size of his member?! I've only seen it from far away! S-So, is it amazingly big? What does it feel like?! You have to tell me Buchou! I need to know about it!"

Rias' face turned as red as her hair as Isane kept going through several different things regarding Zenki's manhood.

But, she was also glad that Isane had decided to join for her own reasons. She was sure that after this, Isane wouldn't want to join.

But in a way, the Fallen Angels had taught Isane a valuable lesson about the power that she had, and how to use it, and not use it, as in the case of the Fallen Angels using the weird jewel for power, and if Isane was going to be in her peerage, then she was going to do her best to be a great King towards her.


The next day, Zenki and the rest of his peerage went towards the Underworld, to free a child once more. They had done this a number of times through the years, since some had a poisoned body that couldn't be treated so quickly.

"Zenki-kun...are we ready to do it now?"

Zenki inclined his neck at his female Knight.

"Yes, we'll be doing it right now." He turned to the doctors that had gathered. "Then, we'll begin now, alright?"

The doctors agreed, so Zenki stepped forward.

Yumi held onto Zenki's hand as the young boy began using the Senjutsu energy he had gathered from Koneko, and slowly dripped it onto the young boy that was being revived basically from near death, making sure that they had enough energy in their systems so their recovery time wouldn't be slow.

Together with the doctors, Zenki assisted in helping the young man, who seemed to be around 12 years old, to come out of the barrier, and he was wobbly on his legs. Yumi couldn't hide her growing smile at the sight.

"Hello...it's alright, you can come out now."

The boy's face curled upwards and went to move, but due to the lack of energy, he egan falling downwards.

However, Zenki caught him as his body was going to fall down to the ground.

"There we go...the Senjutsu should be taking effect in a minute or so, you'll be filled with energy."

Zenki murmured, while Yumi bent down towards him, and gave a kind smile.

"It's alright now, you've been cured."

"R-Really Onee-sama?"

The girl was happy to hear that from the young boy.

In a way, she was the big sister of the group that came from the facility.

"Yes, that's right. We'll be going to see the others soon enough."

The boy welled up with tears at the sight and ended up crying onto Yumi's shoulder, while Zenki's eyes went towards the barrier.

"Only one more person now, and then they'll all be free. Tosca-sans been so kind to stay in that barrier for this long. All of them have been amazing from coming through all of the hardships that they have been through."

Asia cups her hands together.

"Zenki-san, it's been so long, and now, they're nearly all free...it's so beautiful. All of these kids that didn't have a hope, they now can have hope again. I wish that I could cuddle each and everyone of them. Maybe we could adopt Zenki-san?"

Zenki gave Asia a curious look.

"We're not that much older than they are, I'm pretty sure we couldn't adopt." Asia looked slightly disheartened, but then she felt his hand on top of her head. "But, we can still be a family to them, Asia-chan. Heck, we are a family to them because they're Yumi-chan's precious comrades."

Asia's smile grew in size.

"Zenki-san, I'm very happy right now."

Kuroka leaned forward, and winked.

"Naturally, Zenki-chan doesn't give up, these kids are gonna have an amazing life now."

Koneko nodded, holding onto Zenki's hand.

"...Senpai, though this is an amazing event. The fact about that person that attacked us...should we be worried? The jewel that he had...if Raynare powered up that much, what if someone like him equipped the jewel? We wouldn't have a chance to fight him."

"Even I must admit that I am worried about this person. Seeing his abilities, even controlling people as strong as Arthur-sama, it is worrying if he controlled other people that have legendary weapons like that."

Ravel added, with Zenki seeing that most of his peerage did look worried. It was quite understandable why, the enemy wasn't even a joke. He managed to block shots from Zenki, and also downed Vali in a single attack.

Zenki gathered his peerage around.

"I know you're all worried-"

"I'm not worried, I want to fight him. In fact, I want to destroy him for what he had done. Seriously, getting in my way like that, and blasting me away. I should have released all my power at him, that would have made him think twice."

Zenki sweat dropped at Vali's words, but he expected she'd say something like that.

"Besides Vali-chan, I know you're all worried. Even I must admit this enemy is worrying. He's been doing this since we were children, maybe even before that. But know that he wont overcome us. He might be powerful, but we're no slouches either. Next time he shows up, we'll be ready, all of us. He might be able to take down Vali-chan or myself alone, but with us together, we all have skills that when combined, even tougher enemies will have trouble with. Guess I should get onto building that Artificial Longinus, that could help us all out huh~?"

Hearing the confidence in their King, they could relax a little more easily now.

Zenki then pulled out the jewel, and keenly looked into it.

"I must say though, despite what happened, this is an interesting jewel. It seems to be based off jewels like Vali-chan's armour, but it isn't exactly Dragon like either. At least, I can't sense a Dragon aura from it."

"If anything, it feels like those chimera things that we fought way back when Zenki."

Vali added, with Kuroka folding her arms.

"Ooh yes, that's right nyaaa~ It seems that maybe he's made it jewel form? But what would that do? Is he intending to power up with the help of other peoples power? If that's the case, then that's quite dangerous, isn't it nyaa?"

Zenki couldn't agree fast enough with what she had said.

"Maybe you're right. But right now, from seeing Raynare, she nearly died. If she had kept going, then she surely would have died. It isn't safe for use, that's why it seemed like he had used Raynare as a test subject. It's deplorable for him to act like that towards another being. Even someone like Raynare didn't deserve that."

As they spoke, Yumi looked down at the boy who's energies returned, allowing him to stand on his own.

"Onee-sama, lets go and see the others."

He said while holding onto her hand.

Yumi nodded slowly, turning to her King.

"Zenki-kun, is it alright to go?"

"Sure, we can go now. Lets go and see the others!"

[Yes!]

They all replied. Even Vali replied in a happy manner, with Zenki smiling at the sight. He was glad that he could inspire his peerage, but now with this new enemy, he definitely was going to step up in making his Artificial Sacred Gear, he was sure that he was going to need it in the end.


After dealing with that, Zenki went to go and visit his Father after what happened, while the other members of his peerage did as they pleased, to relax after the fights that they had the previous day. But as he did visit his Father, he noticed that Riser was within the room.

"Ajuka-sama, what is the current relationship between Zenki Astaroth and Rias Gremory? Are they still intending to be wed?"

Zenki rolled his eyes, since it was a natural occurrence with Riser.

He had asked many times through the years about their relationship, though Ajuka always replied with "Riser, it is between them, please respect their decision." which caused Riser to grow ever so slightly.

"Even then Ajuka-sama, surely you must know since you're his Otou-san."

"I don't pry into the life of my son, it is his choice if he wishes to express that with me or not. As I said, please respect their feelings on the matter at hand."

Ajuka replied as his fingers twirled around a strange looking device.

Riser didn't seem pleased at all.

Zenki knocked on the opened door, Riser turning to see Zenki stood there and his scowl grew on his face.

"Zenki Astaroth, why are you here?"

Riser demanded, with Zenki giving a questioning look.

"I live here Riser, why are you here?"

Riser huffed, and folded his arms.

"Inquiring minds wished to know a few things, that's all."

Zenki slowly nodded as Riser began moving forward.

"I see. Then, are you finished with my Otou-san?"

Riser gave a passive aggressive look that was attempting to unnerve Zenki.

But Zenki remained sturdy in his stance against Riser himself.

"Yes, it seems that I am. Though Zenki Astaroth, it's been a number of years now, the Underworld wish to know about your relationship with Rias Gremory. You haven't made any kind of progress towards your wedding, have you?"

"We're in the discussion phase, that's all. We explained by the time that Rias-chan was graduating from Kuoh Academy High School, that we'd have the answer for the Underworld, and she still has the school year to go yet."

Riser wasn't thrilled with that answer, he seemed to be annoyed by it.

"Yeah, I guess that you're right. Though the Old Devils wont hold off forever, they'll want to have an answer from you soon enough, if you're not committed in keeping the blood pure between Devils, then you should allow others the option."

Zenki always wondered if Riser actually cared about that, or it was for some other reason. He presumed it might be because Ravel was in Zenki's peerage as well, he always knew Riser was opposed to the decision about Ravel, and that he was also supposed to be engaged to Rias if Zenki and Rias didn't come to an agreement.

Either it was pride, or he did have genuine feelings for Rias, Zenki truly didn't know.

"Keeping the bloodline pure. What about the feelings of Rias-chan? And myself as well? We need to also have feelings for one another, exactly like your parents, my parents, and Rias-chan's parents as well. I don't exactly want to be in a loveless marriage."

"Hmph, so are you admitting that you don't love Rias? Don't worry, I can love Rias if you're not up to the task."

Zenki saw the cocky look within Riser's eyes, but he simply shook his head.

"I never said if I did or didn't love Rias-chan, that's between us."

"Soon, it will be between the Underworld at large. They're impatient people, and they wont hold back forever."

"Maybe you're right, but when the time comes, Rias-chan and I will sort through it ourselves."

"Sorting it out yourselves? The Underworld still need to be replenished after the war."

"I realize that Riser, but I simply wont subject Rias-chan to a marriage she doesn't want because the Underworld wish for it. It wouldn't be fair on her, and if it was myself who didn't want Rias-chan, I'm sure she'd respect my feelings on the matter as well. I agree about pure blooded Devils, but I don't agree about forcing others to marry if they're not in love."

At those words, Riser was rather stunned.

He didn't know what to say about it.

Ajuka was glad that Zenki stood by what he believed would be best for both him and Rias, even after all of these years, that never stopped. His care for Rias' well being, along with what would make her happy, it reminded him of Zenki's Mother.

Riser slowly let out his breath, turning his head away from Zenki.

"Fine, do whatever you want."

At that, Riser huffed, and walked out of the door, leaving the Father son duo alone.

"It seems that Riser is a bit more forceful than usual."

Zenki noted to his Father who shrugged.

"He has been coming around a bit more in recent times. But ignoring that for the moment, it seems that you're rather well, Zenki. Apart from what I've just received."

"Yes...it seems that the enemy has returned. The one from those years ago. And he's pretty strong as well."

Ajuka looked on with a slightly heavy hearted expression.

"...Yes, it seems that we will have to double our efforts in finding this person. But apart from that, you're well?"

Zenki inclined his neck.

"Yes, I am quite well. Nothing beyond that incident has happened really, though that incident is worrying. I wish that the Fallen Angels would say what happened with them. It's difficult getting information out of them. So stubborn."

"Stubborn doesn't begin to explain their ways. However, that doesn't matter at the moment. What does is your safety. Did the barrier hold? Were you able to stay safe?"

"Yes, I managed to use the barrier and it seemed like he didn't have a chance to try and break through it, it kept us safe."

Ajuka wore relief on his face.

"That's good. Tch, I'm still wondering what is currently happening though, it seems that we'll have to step up our game, and make sure that you're ready. There's no doubt in my mind that he wishes for you and Vali...but, what is it..."

"He said that you and Sirzechs-sama weren't worthy of the title. Perhaps he's a purist of the Old Maou."

Zenki posed his thoughts, believing that it could be the case.

Ajuka also thought that it was a possibility.

"Old Maou Faction, it's a possibility. But the current members, you should be able to beat them if you released your full power, and the same goes for Vali. They are around Ultimate Class Devil sure, but even then you guys should be enough for the current enemies. So, it couldn't be them...unless it is a hidden member. There were a few members in the past that were quite powerful...if it is one of them...but, I was in the belief that at least one of them was dead, and the others had gone into hiding."

Zenki folded his arms.

"It seems that he also has a personal hatred of you, Otou-san. He said he wished for your death specifically. I also noticed that he seemed to be dipping between serious and playful, it definitely was hard to get a read on him."

"I understand...if it is to do with me...then I'm sorry Zenki. You are going through something unnecessarily once more because of me. With your Kaa-chan and now with this enemy...it seems that it is going to be difficult for you."

Zenki shook his head several times.

"Don't worry about that, I'm gonna be alright. We will come up with something, I'll even perfect my Longinus. At least to the point where it is usable to fight this enemy. But don't feel guilty, I never blamed you for Kaa-chan, nor do I blame you for this enemy either."

Ajuka let out a small but simple laugh.

"You are quite like your Kaa-chan, she always was the heart between us. Heart and mind...that's what she called us. Her heart counterbalanced my mind, and..." Ajuka paused, feeling strong emotions coming through him. "...suffice to say, we should keep out wits about us, and make sure that we're able to progress through this."

Zenki inclined his neck once more, and stretched.

"Aah, it's been a while since I've been in the Underworld like this. I'm gonna go and see what's currently happening with Diodora's former peerage members, and if they need anything. Then I'll-"

"Take a break."

Zenki was stunned when his Father said that.

"E-Eh?"

Zenki watched as Ajuka raised his finger, then gently tabbed Zenki's head.

"Working like this when you've just had a battle, your mind needs to rest, and relax. Trust me, I know of these kind of battles. Leave the complicated stuff to me for the moment, and you can get some rest. It's the least that I can do. After all, I am your parent, I should look out for you as well in these times. You might have many responsibilities, but you're also still a teenager. Go and have some teenage fun, and if that leads into some grandchildren then…"

Zenki gave him a bewildered expression.

Hearing something like that, Zenki was caught by surprise.

"I didn't peg you to be the type that cared about having grandchildren so early."

"Naturally, it might seem strange, but the possibilities of you gaining a child is very high, especially with the kind of girls that are around you. If you did gain a child at this age, then I'd see you being able to handle it due to how mature you are already. But, it isn't like I wish for you to do it just for my benefit, it has to be for your own."

Zenki gave a slight smile and stretched his arms outwards, cracking his fingers.

"If you say it like that, then perhaps I should take a little break. Yes, I do have a few things I need to do, but then I'll take a break, I promise. First though, I'm gonna go and check on Diodora's old peerage members, okay~?"

Ajuka inclined his head slowly, glad that his son was safe and sound for the moment. Though with the new enemy, they knew it wouldn't be so easy either. But for his son, he was going to find out all he could to make sure that he'd be alright.


After leaving Ajuka for the moment, Zenki went to go and check on some of Diodora's old peerage members. Now, they had been given various jobs that they wished to have. After a few years, it felt like they truly were coming along way.

One of them, the Queen, even worked for the Gremory family household, and was somewhat of a babysitter/playmate of Millicas Gremory, Rias' nephew, and Sirzechs' young child, but despite being young he was surprisingly mature for his age.

Though she was basically someone that worked for the Gremory, she technically still was apart of the Astaroth, and though she was someone that was being cured, she still was monitored, as were the others, just in case something was to happen.

Just on the off chance that she had been lying, or any of them had been, and were playing along until they got the chance to go for Diodora. They knew the damage done to her and the others was extensive, so they had to be absolutely certain before being left to their own devices, that they wouldn't hurt others or try to save Diodora.

Upon seeing Zenki stroll up in the garden area, Millicas' face turned upwards into a delightful smile.

"Onii-chan!"

Millicas, the red haired boy with equally red eyes jumped Zenki who caught him, and held him to his hip.

"Hey there, how's one of my favourite Gremory's~?"

"Onii-chan, I've not seen you in ages! You have to visit more!"

Zenki chortled lightly.

"I'm sorry about that, I've been super busy recently." Zenki smiled happily, turning to the young woman that was once Diodora's Queen. "How are you feeling today? While I'm here, I thought about visiting all of you guys."

The Queen, compared to how she was a few years ago, simply placed her hands in front of her, and bowed her body.

"Thank you very much for seeing all of us Zenki-sama, we are currently alright. I love my current job, being beside Millicas-sama is a treat, he's a really energetic young man. I love spending time with him."

"Haha he surely is quite the ball of energy~"

Zenki chortled out, while Millicas showed a bright smile.

"Onii-chan, have you added anyone to your peerage lately?"

"Eeh, no, not yet. I've not had anyone really...well, perhaps a few people, but I haven't had much of a chance to get to know them yet."

"Then, Onii-chan's peerage wont be finished until I get mine. Then when I get mine, I'm going to get a strong peerage, stronger than your peerage Onii-chan."

"Ooh, don't let Vali-chan hear that, she's gonna want to prove that wrong."

The trio let out small laughs, while Zenki glanced at the former Queen of Diodora's, and gauged how she was doing.

Definitely, it was something to behold, seeing that she was showing a smile more naturally than ever before.

"Onii-chan, I've also been getting stronger. Lets fight, okay?"

"Heeeh, between you, Sairaorg-kun and Vali-chan, it seems that my life is always going to be filled with battles."

"Vali-nee-san said that being strong is key to having a successful life, so I've been training. Onii-chan, lets fight, okay? I want to show you how strong I've become."

Zenki shrugged, so Millicas jumped out of his arms.

Then he pointed his fingers towards Zenki, gathering Power of Destruction between his fingers.

"Then lets do this!"

Millicas fired off a small blast of Power of Destruction, something that Zenki smiled at, and went to move forward, when the young boy twisted his hand, and caused the power to turn away from Zenki's extending hand, and circle around him.

Zenki had to admit that he was surprised that Millicas could control the way his Power of Destruction moved.

"That's not what I was expecting Millicas. I'm impressed, to control your power at your age, it's amazing the amount of talent you have. Though you are the child of Sirzechs-sama and Grayfia-san so it is to be expected."

"Hehe, I've been watching Onii-chan and I also wished to use my power to control my fired off blasts! So I can be like Onii-chan!"

Zenki was amused by Millicas' words, as the Power of Destruction came close. But as it was going to hit, Zenki's Kankara Formula activated, with his finger going upwards, so the power also went up as well, and dispersed in the air as if it wasn't even existing in the first place.

Zenki also noticed that the Queen was looking on curiously, almost as if she was studying them.

Millicas showed a slight pout on his face.

"...Onii-chan, you used your Kankara Formula, that's not fair..."

"Hehe, it's not fair to use my powers?"

"Exactly! Onii-chan has to not use it!"

He said it with a cute expression a child would have, something Zenki had to smile at.

"Alright then, I wont use it this time~"

"Good, then here I come!"

Millicas inclined his head, and took off for Zenki.

"He's pretty fast for his age. It's really endearing to see him becoming stronger at such an age, he truly is talented after all."

Zenki watched as the boy got close, and unleashed a wave of Power of Destruction for the upper body of Zenki, who quickly dodged out of the way, getting behind the young man, and extended his hand, gathering a weak demonic power, just enough to guide him down to the ground.

But Millicas turned around, and placed both hands outwards.

"Have this!"

Millicas unleashed his power for Zenki's upper body and lower at the same time, attempting to stop him from attacking or defending, though Zenki snapped his fingers, creating a barrier that stopped the power coming closer, then Zenki unleashed his weak demonic power to knock him down.

But Millicas surprised Zenki by creating a magic circle to defend against the attack, blocking off Zenki's power, then pointed his fingers in the shape of guns, unleashing several bullets of demonic power for Zenki's form.

"Onii-chan, you're very fast, I can hardly keep up!"

He said it while seemingly enjoying his time, something Zenki found quite nice.

Then Zenki saw the different bullets coming for him, so he placed his hands outwards, creating several different types of magical circles, allowing his demonic power to come out, but then he called "Reverse!" and turned them into light, combatting the demonic power of Millicas', the younger boy looked on as his power was destroyed by the light.

"Uuu...it seems that Zenki-nii-chan's power is able to turn even into light..."

"Reverse, I'll teach you how to do it one day Millicas if you're interested~"

Millicas excitedly pushed forward with his small hands together.

"Yes, I'm very interested in anything Onii-chan has to teach me!"

Zenki admired the spirit that Millicas had, and continued the fight.

They continued on for about half an hour, where Millicas tried his hardest, and Zenki had to admit that he was quite intelligent with the way he used his power as well, it brought a smile to his face.

When the match ended, Millicas fell onto his butt, and panted while the former Queen of Diodora applauded Millicas' efforts.

Zenki bent down towards him, and showcased a smile on his face.

"You did very well Millicas, it was amazing to see you doing that. I have no doubt that you'll definitely become very strong in the future."

"Hehe, thank you Onii-chan~ I'm gonna keep training until I'm the strongest, okay?"

"Yes, keep training Millicas, then when you're old enough, we'll have a Rating Game between our peerages, alright? But remember to always take breaks and not push yourself too hard, okay?"

Millicas showed a strong expression on his face, and thrusted his hand to the sky.

"Yes, I'll remember Onii-chan~ But still, I'll build the strongest peerage and fight Onii-chan~"

"Haha, we'll be like our Otou-sama's huh~?"

"Yes, that's right Onii-chan!"

Zenki smiled at the young boy, glad that he was able to be as energetic and strong as he could be. It definitely reassured him that Millicas would be quite strong in the future, and he also had to admit what kind of peerage Millicas was going to gain.


Once returning back home, he saw that Le Fay was sat on the couch and was speaking to Asia as if they have had several conversations before. He was intrigued with what was going on in her mind, so he edged closer.

When seeing him, Le Fay immediately turned into a blushing mess, putting her hands to her face and acted shyly.

"Z-Zenki-sama, you're back here~ I didn't even know you'd be coming back~"

She said it with a bashful look.

Asia showed an innocent smile.

"Zenki-san, Le Fay-san was telling me about her adventures. It seems that she's been through quite a lot."

Zenki gave a light hearted smile, and turned to Le Fay.

"Le Fay-san, may I ask you something?"

"You can ask anything you want~"

Zenki chortled at the sight of the young girl, it seemed that she looked rather star struck.

"Then, the person that kidnapped your Onii-sama, did he mention anything that could help us?"

Le Fay got into a thinking pose.

But then she produced the documents that Walburga had given Arthur, so he gave them a look over.

"From what I can tell, they seem to be obsessed with gaining different kinds of powers. Like a Faction filled with all Factions."

"A Faction with all Factions...that sounds rather worrying. Maybe that's why he went after your Onii-sama, his sword is a one of a kind."

As he spoke, Zenki continued reading the documents, and from what he could see, it was rather intriguing.

"Zenki-san, is that why he wishes for both you and Vali-san? So he can fill the quota for the Devils in his growing Faction?"

"It's a good idea Asia-chan, and if that was the case, then I wouldn't be surprised. To me, he feels like a collector, having one of a kind things that he can look at and toy with. I mean, why else would he be after us? Is it due to our heritage...perhaps. Maybe it's because we've got the old Maou's blood in us, Lucifer and Beelzebub are definitely rare blood..."

"So, we should be on the lookout for rare people?"

Le Fay guessed, Zenki shrugged.

"Rare people and rare objects I'd say that hold a good deal of power. So I wouldn't be surprised if they'd target whoever has the Demon Swords, like Gram, or the Holy Swords like Durandal. And as for rare people...hmmm, perhaps a Dragon King? They'd be likely to be taken since they're powerful...perhaps a few Youkai's...if it was me, then I'd probably put people together that can cover the weaknesses of their allies. Kind of like Arthur and Walburga. A supportive long range magician with a short ranged sword user. If nothing else, he paired them off pretty well."

"Though I wasn't here for the battle...it seems like you had a difficult time...I'm sorry."

Zenki gently petted her head, a small blush adorning her cheeks.

"No, you don't have to apologize, you haven't done anything wrong. We'll sort this out, together."

Le Fay gave a humbling expression.

"I feel...I don't know what to say Zenki-sama. This is a new experience for me. My Onii-sama was always there when I needed him, and now he's gone...and I don't know what to say, that I have to ask for your help now...this isn't exactly how I thought our meetings would go..."

Le Fay admitted.

She didn't think that meeting someone that she was a huge fan of, in a manner where she wouldn't be able to speak about many different things to him about many different types of topics, instead the worry about her elder brother stayed at the front of her mind and she wasn't able to bask in everything that she was experiencing.

Zenki could understand the thoughts that Le Fay had at that moment.

"Heeeeh, I can understand your feelings. I also lost my Kaa-chan when I was young...but one day she was gone as well. I felt lost without her, I felt like I wouldn't be able to be as good as she was. That I couldn't make it on my own. Even now, I feel like that. So, I vowed that others wouldn't have to suffer the same fate that I had with my Kaa-chan. I promise, we'll find out where your Onii-sama is, and what's happening with this new enemy. We're already searching as we speak, we're bound to turn something up. My Otou-san and Azazel-san should turn something up."

With those words, Le Fay felt content.

She knew that she had found a good place to come, and that Zenki was like how she had imagined him.

He was a good person and he wasn't going to be looking for anything in return.

He was going to help her, and hopefully, she'd be able to reunite with Arthur once more, whatever was happening with him.


After dealing with that, and he headed for his bedroom, Zenki was surprised to see that Isane was sat on his bed, seemingly waiting for him, with some of her shirt undone to show some of her impressive cleavage, Zenki was sure she was thinking of something rather lewd.

"Isane-san, you're not attempting to..."

"Zenki-kun! No, nothing like that. Well, not yet~" Zenki cocked an eyebrow curiously. "But, Zenki-kun, I want to tell you before I do it! I've decided, I'm going to become a Devil!"

Zenki wore mild surprise on his face.

"Are you sure? After what happened with the Fallen Angels..."

"It's because of that, that I've decided to do this. Zenki-kun, I've been hearing about all of these amazing things you Devils do, being able to do that as well...I also wish to be strong Zenki-kun. I'm not that remarkable in my life, but I was gifted this Longinus of mine. Though I don't know if I deserve it, I wish to use it to do amazing things too. Like saving people. Keeping people together. And being around for my comrades also."

Zenki's face lifted up at the words she spoke.

"Isane-san, you say these things like you're not remarkable, or you're not deserving of your Longinus. But, I think the opposite is true. Feelings, strong feelings, make the Longinus' shine. You certainly have the right mindset for a strong Sacred Gear, you will achieve many things. So if this is the decision you've made, then we'll all support you Isane-san. I'm sure you'll be a fine Devil."

Isane's face curled into a bright smile.

"Thanks Zenki-kun, I'll do my best from now on!"

Zenki nodded strongly.

"Good resolve. I'm sure you and Rias-chan will get along famously."

Isane continued to smile…

But then a thought came to her, and she perched on the bed.

"Zenki-kun, before I become a Devil, there is one thing that I wish for."

Intrigue came over Zenki.

"And that would be?"

Isane spread her legs on the bed, getting onto her knees, and grabbed Zenki's shirt. He was surprised by the slightly forceful nature, but then he saw that Isane's face was grinning from ear to ear.

"Before I turn, definitely Zenki-kun, with my breasts, please play with them!"

"P-Play with your breasts?"

Zenki wasn't that surprised that she would ask that.

Though it seemed quite odd that's the one thing she wanted to do before quitting being human.

"I was going to ask if we could have sex, but you'd probably not do that right now. So I thought that this request would be for the best. I just want to feel your hands on my body Zenki-kun, you can feel every inch of my breasts! It's been a dream of mine since we first met, I've always wanted to feel your body and mine pressing against the other! So, will you do it with me Zenki-kun? Will you play with my body? As a last request before I become a Devil, a humans request. You do requests from humans, right? Then please accept my request!"

Hearing that from Isane, he wasn't surprised.

But he could see that she also seemed determined as well, he couldn't deny her of her last request as a human, so to speak.

Knowing that she probably wished for this for a while, and everything that she had been through, he gave the slightest of nods, which Isane took as a full blown "Yes!" and quickly she tore off her shirt, and her bra, revealing her bare naked chest towards Zenki's eyes.

"Zenki-kun, look at them!"

Zenki's eyes went towards her chest, seeing how they were rather big. They weren't Rias and Akeno's size, but they were bigger than the likes of Asia, and even Yumi's own, coming in around Vali's size.

She then pulled back onto the bed, with her large flesh mounds bouncing as she fell. Zenki could even see the hardness of her pink nipples, the lewd look on her face, and how her eyes hadn't left Zenki's form.

Bending down towards her, his hand cupped one of her breasts, while the other was gently being rubbed by Zenki's hand, and she let out a cute moan.

"Aaah~ Zenki-kun, I've always thought about you doing this, but now that you are, I'm feeling so good~ Do more Zenki-kun, be as rough as you want! I want to feel all of your love onto these breasts of mine!"

Even Zenki, who was used to these situations, had to blush at the words she said, and how suggestive her voice was.

Responding to that, Zenki got on the bed beside her, adjusting her position so she was curling against him, an arm wrapped around her body, her butt pressed against Zenki's crotch, something she very much appreciated, while both of his hands latched onto her breasts, with her pink hard nipples poked through his fingers, so Zenki pinched them together, casuing them to become even more erect.

"Aah Zenki-kun~ That's right~" She moaned, pushing her butt backwards, grinding against Zenki's growing member."Haha, I can feel it pressing against me. That means you really like my breasts, right Zenki-kun?"

"Yes, they've very great Isane-san."

"They've needed Zenki-kun's touch after all, so please continue. You can even suck on them if you like?"

Dripping from her lips like honey, she allowed her hand to go to the back of Zenki's head, and gently guide them to her breasts. Seeing how her lustful eyes were on him, his hands gently squeezed her large breasts, the young girls hips bucked at the sudden explosion of arousal that she felt.

His fingers buried into her large assets, feeling the softness of them, and the excitement Isane felt with how she would grind against him. Zenki slowly lifted his body up, so he was sitting, Isane followed, and sat down between his opened legs, his hands never leaving her chest.

"Isane-san, you've very peculiar, aren't you? Anything you could have requested for, and it was for me to do this with you."

"Hehehe, I'm just glad that Zenki-kun is the one that's doing this~ I couldn't think of anything better~"

Zenki gave a small laugh, and continued playing with Isane's breasts.

The young woman definitely was glad that she could have this one last experience as a human.

While Zenki played with Isane's breasts, Vali came strolling into the room. Seeing Isane's expressions filled with excitement and ecstasy, Vali raised her brows curiously.

"Ara Vali-chan, is something the matter?"

"No, I was wondering where you had got to, it seems you're playing with the Sekiryuutei."

"A-Are you jealous?"

Isane said with a strong stare, and between the moans as Zenki gently brushed her breasts with his fingers, something Isane definitely wanted him to continue. She didn't even care if Vali watched them doing these things, this was the chance she had been waiting for.

Vali huffed, folding her arms.

"Hardly, Zenki plays with me often. All I care about is if you're becoming a Devil."

"I am actually! Then I'll surpass you, and become Zenki-kun's main wife!"

Zenki slapped his forehead while Vali's smirk grew.

"Is that so? Anything that motivates you I suppose. Though I am Zenki's main wife, the strongest has to lead the charge don't they?"

"Exactly, that's why I'm gonna get stronger, and become Zenki-kun's legal wife! His main wife! And I will lead the harem! By the way, I'll be having Zenki-kun's manhood all to myself!"

"Heh, you can try but that thing is going to be with me first before you."

"Ooh, I thought you'd be thinking about his butt~?"

Isane playfully teased, Vali didn't look pleased.

"While his butt is the best part of Zenki, I still think his manhood is...ugh, each time I talk to you, I speak about things unnecessarily. I don't know how you do it either, but stop."

Zenki was surprised that Vali was quite flustered, it seems that Isane was able to bring out Vali's more competitive nature when it came to love and romance.

"Hehehehe, I wont stop until I've become one with Zenki-kun! Then we'll have the best kind of kids! Wont they also have like a Dragon power since this Sacred Gear is inside of me? Then Zenki-kun and my kids will be equally as awesome!"

"My children with Zenki will be two powerful Maou bloodlines, plus Dragon power, and Zenki's Astaroth blood, even his intelligence, my children will be the more superior one. Now Zenki, take off your clothes, I want to spend some quality time with you."

"No! He's playing with my breasts!"

"That's finished now. Zenki, it's time to play."

"No Zenki-kun, don't stop with me! I want to keep playing until we're finished in hours later!"

Vali and Isane glared at the other, with sparks coming off between their narrowed gaze.

Zenki gave a curious look between the two of them.

He hadn't expected that a rivalry between the Heavenly Dragons would be this...unusual, though he did find it rather, amusing to see that two Longinus users, were arguing about something such as this.

So he took both Vali and Isane onto the bed, and held onto both of them.

"Don't argue about such things, we can have fun together."

Trying to smooth it over so they didn't get into an aggressive way, he thought that this suggestion would be best.

Though Isane gained a perverted look on her face.

"Threesome with her?" Isane sounded baffled at first, but then shrugged. "Alright then, lets have a threesome Zenki, Vali!"

Both Vali and Zenki face palmed at what Isane said.

Though, it did feel good to begin getting back to normal.


Back within the Grigori, Freed sat within his cell, contemplating how he wouldn't be able to fight Devils anymore, how he wouldn't be able to destroy any kind of person that could matter, and worst of all, he didn't get to kill Zenki.

In his mind, that was an absolute injustice.

He wouldn't be able to fulfil his desires in killing the person that had trapped him there.

However, what he did notice was that his door was beginning to open, revealing Kokabiel himself walking slowly into the room. The man's eyes went towards the Fallen Angel in question, who was giving him an intrigued look.

"So, how the mighty have fallen."

"...Tch, if you're just here to spout out nonsense at me, then it's better if you don't even bother..."

Freed didn't sound happy.

He was quite annoyed with how Kokabiel was looking down on him.

"No, Freed. I didn't come here to mock you. I came here to understand why you did what you did."

"I did it because I hate the Devil scum! That's why! They piss me off royally, I hate them all! But, it seems that I was with incompetent fools that couldn't even hold a candle in a fight. Damn it, damn it, damn it! I couldn't even win in a fight at all! It makes me feel angry! I couldn't even fight Zenki Astaroth! I hate him so much!"

"Yes, so do I."

Freed was caught off guard when he had said that.

"Y-You hate him as well?"

Kokabiel huffed about what was being said, and he merely looked on curiously.

"Naturally, that Devil has pissed me off. Becoming friends with Azazel, what kind of Fallen Angel does he think he is? I'm sick of the talk for peace, I'm tired of being nothing to these people, I wanted to be the one who starts a war, and with that damn Zenki Astaroth….haha, that's why I'm going to be the one who kills him. If you join beside me, I can promise that I'll also help you in fighting him. Together, we could take him down, all we need is to gather the Excalibur…"

"Excalibur? Those Holy Swords? Would that work?"

Freed didn't really care what Kokabiel wished for.

If he could get out of there, then he would do his best in trying to play along with him.

Kokabiel also knew of Freed's tactics, he could see through it easily.

But desperate times called for desperate measures, so he was going to do his best.

"He's a Devil, if he's cut down by them along with my light, then I can see us working together quite well. He might be the son of a Maou, but he's not invincible, and his death would cause a war, Azazel then surely would have to step up and not simply stand by and do nothing. Ajuka would become very angry if he attempted to do anything like that."

Freed looked on, wondering if there was any deception behind the man's eyes.

It was something that he had to do, now that he was locked away.

Kokabiel simply could mess with him, and he'd be left there, or his punishment could become harsher due to Kokabiel's words.

So he had to question the creepy looking Fallen Angel directly.

"So, you really wanna kill him? Seeing his dying breath would be a pleasure for me! You're not just messing with me, are you?! Because I want to get out and slice that damn Devil apart! I'd even be happy if you did it, just as long as I get to see him die! He took away my chances of killing! So I want to take his chances away of breathing!"

"Heeeeh, it seems that you and I are on the same wavelength after all. Yes, if that's what you wish for, then join beside me Freed. And we'll take revenge on Zenki Astaroth, and kill him, along with anything else that gets in my way."

Freed's disturbing smile grew more and more on his face.

It seemed like he was truly believing Kokabiel's words, and that in of itself…

Was very scary indeed.


End chapter!

So for the new story, that will be out this week, last week got a bit hectic for me, leaving very little time, so I didn't get to post it, but soon it will be since I've got more free time this week, and for those wondering, it is a DXD story, and it won by quite a number of votes, which I am surprised at, but we'll be seeing that pretty soon!

So this was a bit of a more fun chapter than last time, exploring more relationships, Le Fay seems to be settling in with Zenki's group pretty well, and promising to help get Arthur back from whoever is controlling him. Isane has made her decision and is going to become a Devil. Zenki visited some of Diodora's former peerage members, one which is Millicas' personal maid, though of course is still watched over just in case. They freed another person from Tosca's barrier, and that soon will be complete so all of them will be free. Riser's also becoming a little more forceful about Rias and Zenki and if they're going to be staying together, so we'll see what happens with that next.

Then at the end, it seems that Kokabiel's got a vendetta against Zenki due to his relationship with Azazel, a Devil and a Fallen Angel, which Kokabiel hates, and wishes to kill them, with having Freed be his assistant in this.

Well, until next time, thanks for reading!
