At the Occult Research Club in Kuoh Academy.
There were two within a room that was discussing about a various number of things until one of them brought up a subject that they were both weary of happening.
"It seems that Yoiko has made contact with Ranko," Akeno Himejima said
"That might make things even more difficult than they" already are then Rias Gremory replied sighing
"I might have to meet with them the next time they are in town because of this" Rias added
"It can not be helped as it was Yoiko that approached her so the blame would not fall on us as result" Akeno told her.
"The argument between families is still being upheld. However, do you really think that Ranko can be a possible threat though? She is Issei's childhood friend" Rias asked
"That no one knows where she came from or how she learned everything that she did at a young age. She might have fallen into the Hero Faction and thus could be here now to get Issei and possibly even them on that side" Akeno said
"Not that likely as if her master is who the reports claim they are. Also, there is something off about Ranko thus I do not think she would have been picked up by the Hero Faction as a result" Rias explains.
"She does not seem to be on anyone's side at the moment so it might be better just to get to know her better as she would be a powerful ally to have in connection to," the Himejima girl said
The two found that it was good luck that Raynare ended up giving up her desire for killing Issei to fall for him madly instead. Rias was working out a plan to get closer to him however those days Raynare and Issei went missing. She was away with her entire group handling another issue.
If things had gone originally as they could have she would have needed to skip a bunch of steps and then go straight into adding him to her peerage rather than letting him die. Glad that did not happen though seems Raynare is preventing someone from coming to replace her by sending out reports to her superiors about whatever mission she was on before going against.
Despite being a Fallen Angel she was not causing nor placed to cause any harm to Issei now or in the future if it was within her power. She was even looking after Asia Argento now as her friend.
"Drastic change from what she used to be like from the reports that they had managed to find regarding her and treatment of Asia before her " sudden turn of heart.
"What about her having an excalibur could that mean she is with the church given that it said to one of the ones that they had in their possession," Akeno asked
"Also not likely given that they handed it over to her once she apparently went to pick it up. Whatever deal was made between them did not involve her joining their side as it stated that she was chosen by Excalibur Mimic. Judging from how she handles it, it probably true that she was" Rias adds.
The two did not think that Ranko would throw just a wrench into the plan for Rias to get closer to Issei.
The first thing would be to get to know Ranko a little better first and probably reveal that they are devils early on. Ranko was apparently hunting devils while under her master's training. It was hard to get any information about what level of Devil she was sent after to hurt at the moment along with how she dealt with them before and after she goy Excalibur Mimic back
