Around the time that Freed and Lazer are fighting.
"Huh… I can't believe this situation is that severe…"
"Well, they've been hostile with each other for a long time, so there's that… but if that's the case, then we'll never see Asia again…"
After dropping Asia off the church, Issei and Toma were sternly warned by Rias not to go near the church again. The reason for this was that the devil and church were enemies, and if the devils approached the church, unwanted flying light spears might come at them, so they were told to stay away if they wanted to save themselves. Issei and Toma remembered and, muttering to themselves, pedaled their bikes to the house of the person who had summoned the devil this time.
"Here we are, tonight! I'm here on Gremory-sama's errand…"
"I wonder… if the summoner's home…"
"Anyway, let's go inside, Issei."
"Yeah…"
Toma and Issei went inside as they talked.
"It's pitch black here…"
"Yeah… but the only light is on the living room."
"Let's go in…"
So they went into the living room, but there was no one there either.
"There's really no one there…"
"What is happening…?"
The two of them looked around.
"Issei, and Toma?"
"Hm? Huh… you are…"
"Asia, what are you doing here!?"
From the direction of the voice, there was Sister Asia Argento, whom they have met on their way to school this time.
"What are you doing here…?"
"Actually… the new priest of the church had some business with the people of this house, so I came with him… but when I went looking, he suddenly disappeared…"
As a matter of fact, Asia didn't tell them that she had come for an exorcism, but explained to some extent.
Meanwhile
Quarry Stage
"HYAAAAAAHHH! DIEE!" Freed shouted, firing silver bullet at Lazer, which missed entirely.
"Hey, hey! That's not how it works!?"
"Dammit! What the fuck is wrong with you!?"
"All bark, and no bite… now's my turn!"
With that, Lazer used the Gashacon Sparrow to fire energy rounds around Freed, creating explosions and dust clouds that blocked his vision.
"Shit! I can't see anything! Where is he!?" Freed growled, looking around.
"Here!"
"That's it!"
Freed quickly aimed his gun in the direction of the voice and was about to fire.
ZU-PAN!
Lazer split his Gashacon Sparrow into Sickle Mode earlier.
"ORYAA!"
"W-WHAT THE HEEEEELLL!?"
Freed's gun was broken into pieces and destroyed by the Sparrow.
"Why you!? UAGH!"
And then Freed was dropkicked, bouncing like a ball as he was blown away.
"DAMMIT! WAAAAAAARGH!"
Freed took out two light swords and tried to attack. However…
"This is the end!"
Gashat! Kimewaza! GIRI GIRI CRITICAL FINISH!
"ORYAAAAAA!"
"AAAAGH!"
Lazer destroyed Freed's light swords with the finisher, then kicked him again as he lost his weapon.
"Ugh… wh—"
"I went easy on you, but it's over. You're done."
As soon as Lazer said that, the quarry stage disappeared and the surroundings returned to the original living room.
"Father Freed! And you are…!?"
"Ah! You're the one from last time!"
"Lazer!? Why are you here?"
There were three people who were not there when the Game Area was deployed, Asia, Toma, and Issei, and they were surprised to find that Freed and Lazer had suddenly appeared.
"What, you two are here too?"
"What the heck… what are you doing here out of nowhere!?"
"Ah, you see, I'm bringing a bad priest to justice." Lazer told Issei.
"Justice… um, what is Father Fried doing…?"
"Oh, you don't know? He's a vicious serial killer who killed a lot of devil summoners."
"What!?"
"He's that bad!?"
"No… Father Freed…"
The two were shocked to hear it, and Asia looked devastated at the revelation.
"Fuck… you fucking devil bastards… I'll kill you!" Freed woke up and tried to attack Issei and Toma.
"Aah… that's enough, you go back to sleep."
THWACK!
"Ack!"
Lazer kicked him again and this time he was completely knocked out.
"Well, as you can see."
"Oh no… a priest who is supposed to be the God's servant is like this… and Issei and Toma, you…"
"…Sorry, Asia."
"We didn't mean to hide it…"
The two of them said.
"Whatever. Anyway, I'm going to take him and that nun home with me."
"Huh!? What are you going to do with her!?" The two were alarmed by Lazer who said he was going to Asia home and demanded.
"This priest is going to live in a pigsty until he dies because of what he did, but the little nun here didn't seem to know that this scumbag was doing this, so I won't make it worse. I'll take care of the rest." Lazer said.
However…
"That's… don't lie to us!"
"We'll protect Asia!"
"Issei… Toma…"
The two of them shouted.
"Protect…? Pfft, hehehehehe… hahahahahahaha!"
"What's so funny!?"
Lazer suddenly started laughing at their words, and Toma demanded with narrowed eyes.
"Protect… protect, huh…? It sounds like something the hero of a shonen anime would say… but I ask you two, that word 'protect'… can you be responsible for that word?"
"Responsibility?"
"Yeah, it's easy to say protect and help. But the important thing is to protect the nun at all costs. Can you fulfill that responsibility? Huh?"
"W-well… that's…"
"But…"
"Acting on your emotions will only lead to failure. Helping and protecting is not as cheap as you think. What about you? Can you protect the nun? Can you take responsibility if something happens to her?"
The two went silent as they weighed Lazer's words.
"You… what about you? Can you take responsibility for that?"
"Yes, I can. I will protect her until the heat is off. I have the confidence, the plan and the determination. I know people who can do it, including myself." Lazer answered Issei without hesitation.
"Issei… Toma, I'll be fine."
"Asia…"
"I… I can't bother you anymore."
Asia smiled a little as she spoke to them, and was about to approach Lazer. However, Issei stepped in between them.
"I just can't let her with you!"
"Issei… but…"
"Oho… Why not?"
"I don't trust you! I can't let Asia go to someone like that!" Issei shouted to Lazer.
"Bah… To say something like that out of emotion… you're such a kid… you kids should listen to the advice of adults. Otherwise, you'll fail in life."
Lazer decided that it was useless to say anything anymore and pointed the Gashacon Sparrow at Issei and Toma.
"Mark my words. You can't protect the kid. If you don't listen to me, I'm going to have to hurt you a little for her safety."
"Like hell I would let you! Combatmen!"
"EEEEE!"
Toma summoned ten Combatmen and had them attack Lazer.
"Issei! Asia! Let's go!"
"Okay! Come on, Asia!"
"Eh, y-yes!"
"Whoa, hey, wait!" Lazer shouted as they tried to stop them. But the Combatmen prevented him from doing so, and he was stuck. "Shit!"
After Lazer had finished mopping up the fighters with the Gashacon Sparrow, he went outside to give chase, but there was no one there anymore.
"Tch! I missed…"
With that, Kiriya untransformed.
"Ha! They can't protect her… if only they would just listen to me…" Kiriya scoffed and called the Ministry of Health to come and pick up Freed since he had secured him.
A few dozen minutes later
Hiiro arrived to pick up the staff from the Ministry of Health who had come to retrieve Freed and Kiriya.
"Well done, Examiner, you've managed to secure the serial killer."
"Heh, thanks, Prodigy. But the nun I was supposed to secure was taken away…"
"Secure? What do you mean?"
"We'll talk later." Kiriya said to Hiiro.
"Oi! Quiet!"
"Let go of me, you maggots!"
Freed came out of the house, restrained by the Ministry of Health staff. And when he saw Kiriya, Freed's face contorted in rage as he screamed.
"You! Son of a bitch! Don't think that this is the end! I will kill you and tear you to pieces and feed you to the dogs! Wash your neck and wait! REVENGE! I'LL HAVE MY REVENGE!"
"Ah, yeah, yeah, looking forward to it."
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD!"
He was put in a car and taken to the Ministry of Health's facility for the criminally insane, where he would live until his death.
"But now the case is closed."
"…I hope so…" Kiriya muttered.
Meanwhile
"It's safe to say we've come a long way…"
"Right…"
Toma and Issei had escaped with Asia to Kuoh Academy.
"Um, Issei, Toma… are you sure you want to do this? Bringing me here, causing trouble for the two of you…"
"It's no trouble at all."
"Huh?"
"That's right, Asia. We wanted to help you on our own. We are not at all bothered."
"Issei… Toma…" Asia muttered at their words.
"But, what to do after this…?"
"Let's report it to buchou, just in case she gets upset."
"I guess so."
The two then headed for the ORC room with Asia.
