Here's the next chapter. Enjoy!

In the club's shower room, both Issei and Richard were naked. Richard was giving Issei some of his energy to heal. Issei was covering her nipples and her clitoris. When his well-toned chest brushed against her back and his penis brushing against her rear, she blushed. He then embraced her and glowed red. S-so...this is what he did the last time I almost died? she thought. She could have been smiling, even though Richard's body brushing against her backside was enjoyable to her, she was still upset about what happened with Frieda and Asher. She wished she could've saved him...she wished there were another way...

Richard stopped glowing and let go of the embrace, showing his nice abs. "It should be okay now," he said.

She nodded, still blushing at the sight of him naked. "A-alright..." she replied as she walked to go get a towel. When the red-haired male saw her go, he frowned. She had been acting upset ever since they left the crazy nun's house. He began to worry about her.

When she got out of the shower with a towel on and sat on the couch, Akihiko began to bandage her ankle wound. "It'll take a little while to let this heal completely," Richard said to her as he began to take a shower, his butt shown. "That stray exorcist was able to wield strong powers of light."

"Th-then it's not demons who become strays?" the female pervert asked as she let her towel slip down and covered her breasts with her arms quickly so Akihiko can bandage her scarred back. Richard could only look down in sorrow, his abs letting the drops slip.

"There are many people who get expelled from the Church and ended up serving a fallen angel," Yumi answered solemnly.

"D-does that mean...Asher's one of those stray exorcists?" The blonde-haired girl nodded, making the brown-haired female even more upset and worried about the blonde priest.

Richard stopped the shower and came out of it with a towel, showing off his legs. "Either way, you're a devil and he's the servant of a fallen angel," he stated solemnly. "Those are the facts." He then walked to the group.

"President..." The female pervert then used a free hand to carry her towel up to cover her breasts after Akihiko was finished. She looked down at the table. "I need my clothes. I have to spend some time alone."

The red-haired man frowned, but nodded. "I understand. Akihiko."

"Yes, sir," the raven-haired vice-president replied as he stood up to fetch Issei's clothes.

Richard felt bad for her. It hurts him to see her like this, so he said, "Isa, I'm so sorry. I knew how much you wanted to save that priest, but..." She shook her head, making him trail off. She then stood up.

"I'll see you guys later," she said as Akihiko appeared with her clothes. She snatched them away and went into the shower to change. Richard couldn't let his cute servant stay like this. He had to cheer her up somehow...or something must.

Soon, Issei got changed, went home and into bed, then stayed up, thinking about the incident. I'm so weak... she thought. "I'm so weak..." she said out loud. "I'm just a pawn. I can't even save a guy." The flashback of Asher smiling before she and the peerage teleported away appeared. She sniffled, but shook her head and sat up on her bed. "No way! I'll-"

"Train harder and become stronger!" she said confidently as she was pulling herself up on a monkey bar in a children's playground. She was wearing a plain pink shirt, cream yellow shorts, and brown sandals. She also had her hair in a bun. However, she stopped. Wait, what am I doing? I have a bow and arrow, not a fighting glove. She then let go of the monkey bars, slipping and landing on her butt. She sighed in disappointment. "I should just shop for targets, so I can practice," she said to herself. "I have never used a bow and arrow before..." She clenched her fists on the ground, gritting on her teeth. "I have to hurry. Asher's with that sadistic bitch of a nun..." Images of her abusing the priest appeared. She then stood up. "I will save him from her. I'll-"

"Issei-san?" asked a familiar voice. She gasped and turned to see Asher in his priest uniform, stitched back to normal. Her eyes widened when she saw him.

"A-Asher...?" she asked, relieved that he was fine and well. Without a second thought, she ran to him and embraced him, almost knocking him back.

"I-Issei-san..." he muttered.

"I'm so glad you're fine..." the brown-haired female said against his vestment. With a smile, he embraced her back.

"I'm so glad you're fine as well, Issei-san," he replied. The two embraced for a while.

Episode 4: I'm Gonna Save My Friend!-Part 1

Soon, the two of them were in a restaurant. Issei was wearing a light blue denim jacket over her shirt and was looking down at her food, avoiding eye contact with Asher. The blonde priest was confused. "Uh, Issei-san?" he asked.

She suddenly shot up and looked at him. "Uh, yeah?" she asked. He chuckled at her, making her blush. "H-hey, I'm just so happy that you're okay."

He smiled at her. "Well, I'm happy if you're happy," he said as he pointed at the hamburger. "So, how do you eat this...cheeseburger?"

"Oh, well, you eat them like this." She then grabbed the burger with two hands and took a bite. Asher looked amazed.

"Wow! They're eaten like that?! I would've never guessed!" he said in awe as he grabbed the burger the way Issei did as well. He slowly brought the food to his lips, looking up at Issei. He then took a huge bite of it. He chewed it and swallowed it. He chuckled and smiled. "It's delicious!" Both of them laughed for a bit, having a good time together.

"By the way, Asher-kun," Issei said, the blonde priest's laughing coming to a halt. "Why were you at that park?"

"Oh..." He then looked away from the female pervert, frowning. "I was on break, so I thought about taking a stroll around town," he answered he looked at her and smiled once again. "So, then I saw you, and...well..." She was happy that Asher was fine that she thought up of an idea.

"I think we should hang out all day," the two friends said in unison. Both of them gasped in shock and blushed.

"Oh, you were thinking of the same thing too?" asked Issei, rubbing the back of her head nervously.

"I was surprised you thought about that too," replied Asher happily. "But let's do it!"

She nodded and smiled at him. "Yeah!"

...

Soon, the two went to an arcade as Asher suggested, where they were playing a racing game. Asher beat Issei however, but told her not to take it too seriously since he had fun. She did as well. They then played a Dance Dance Evolution game. Issei beat Asher at that, but he didn't mind since he has fun, despite being sweaty. They then played it individually, each cheering on each other to keep going. They then were at a photo booth, where the two of them made a funny face together in a silly background. Asher wanted to keep the picture and Issei encourages him to, so he does that.

Later, Asher was caught looking at a stuffed animal called Racchu in a claw game. The brown-haired female thought it was cute that he liked a stuffed animal. She found out he played the games the creature was in, so she decided to help him get it. With five tries, they got the stuffed animal. They both cheered like children. Asher got the toy and told Issei that the animal and the silly picture they took will be a treasure to remember about this day. The devil felt happy and pleased that he said that and ushered him to follow her to the next game. He held the stuffed animal tightly, muttering that his meeting with Issei can only happen today, so he'll make it worth it.

Much later, Issei and Asher exited the arcade. The female pervert got a drink from a drink machine. "I never had so much fun in my life!" Asher boasted giddily.

"Oh no, you have to be exaggerating," Issei said as she opened the can and drank it. Suddenly, she winced from a sharp pain in her shoulder. Asher's happy face disappeared into a frown as he looked at her shoulder.

"You still have that wound from last night?" he asked in a serious tone.

She blushed a little, seeing his cute, handsome face and replied, "Uh...y-yes..."

...

Near the city fountain, the young priest was healing the female devil's shoulder. She was looking at his cute and handsome face, smiling. He really is cute and handsome, isn't he? she thought as he finished healing her shoulder.

"Is your ankle fine as well?" he asked her in a slightly more happy voice.

"Uh, yeah?" she answered, unsurely. He then stood up, knelt in front of her, and began healing her ankle as well. When he was finished, he asked, "How do you feel now?"

The brown-haired devil began move her shoulder and ankle. She smiled wide and gasped happily. "I feel great! You're amazing, Asher-kun! Thank you!" she answered in glee. He closed his eyes and smiled at her.

"Thanks!" he said before sitting down next to her, losing his happy face. "Hey, I, uh, wanted to talk to you about something, Issei-san." He sounded serious when he said it. Maybe it was about...Frieda?

"What do you want to talk about?" Issei asked in a serious voice.

He sighed. "Well, my parents abandoned me after I was born," he started. The brown-haired girl gasped.

"What? Seriously?!"

He nodded. "I was told that I was found crying in front of a small European church. I grew up in it since then. When I was eight, a beaten-down dog wandered around the church. It was very close to death. I prayed by myself as hard as I could for the dog to be alive. That's when a miracle occurred." He began to smile a little. "I healed the dog and made it healthy and moving. I was so happy." Issei couldn't help but smile when Asher chuckled a little bit. "Soon, I was taken to a big church. I was there to heal illnesses and wounds of Christians coming from all around the world. I was so happy to see that I could help people with my power." His smile disappeared though, making the female concerned. "Then, one day, I saw a woman collapsed on the ground. She was heavily injured, so I healed her. But that woman came out to be a...a devil." Issei gasped. "People in the church started calling me a treacherous wizard because I could heal devils, so I was branded a heretic because of it."

"Wow..." the brown-haired devil said. "So, that's why you had nowhere to go and got picked up by a fallen angel, right?"

He nodded. "Yes. But..." He looked up at the sky with a smile. "I never stopped believing in God. I always expressed my gratitude towards him." His smile disappeared once again. "Not to mention that I never knew what terrible things they were doing." He looked down at the ground, making Issei worry about him. "The Lord has to be testing me. He had to be. If I can overcome this ordeal, he'll make my dream come true someday. At least, that's what I believe."

"Your dream?"

"I'll make lots of friends. We'll play games and read books and chat together. That's my dream." He smiled, but it looked more sad than happy. "I have no friends, you see. It'd be great to have one." The female devil liked him, not just for his looks, but for his personality. She wanted to his friend. Weren't they already?

She smiled, looking at the water at the fountain, and said, "I'll be your friend, Asher-kun." He gasped and looked at her, blushing.

"Wh-what?" he asked.

She looked at him, blushing as well. "I mean, we are already friends, aren't we? We talked and played together. Most of all, we had fun with each other." She giggled a little nervously. "Though we didn't read any books...but isn't that enough?" Asher looked at her with a surprised look on his face. This girl kept surprising him by the minute. He liked her, he'll always like her. And for her to be his friend and have fun with her...man, she was spoiling him well.

"Yeah," he answered in glee. "Yeah, yeah! That's definitely enough! But what the trouble about me and you since you're a..."

"Devil and you're a priest?" she finished for him. "So? We'll still be friends, no matter what everyone else thinks!" Asher felt like he was going to cry. He embraced Issei, surprising her.

"I...I want to thank you, Issei-san," he whispered to her, making her blush. "I...I never felt so happy before!" He let a tear roll down his cheek. "Thank you." Issei, feeling like she was going to cry as well, embraced him back. What could she do without him?

"You're welcome," she replied with a smile.

All of a sudden, a tip of a boot touched the water, causing a ripple. "Like that's ever going to happen," said a familiar voice. Both of them shot back and let go of the embrace, looking at no other than...

"Yuuto-kun?!" Issei exclaimed in shock. He looked the way he did when he nearly killed her.

"Raynark-sama?!" questioned Asher in fear. Both of them thought in fear and panic, Why the hell is he here?!

Stopping here. What do you think?

I couldn't come up with a better name for Male!Raynare, so if you have any better suggestions, please say them!
