Welcome to the next chapter of The Magic Knight, before starting the story. Let's answer some reviews:

Hellspam: Thanks, I got the idea after seeing Sona dressed in one. It does sound like something that Yuuma would do to someone and her being an older sister figure to Ariel will be expanded on in the future. I really don't know what to do with Astolfo's character in terms of actual gender (it could just be just one big joke that he is playing on everyone).

Weslyschraepen: You and I have the same thinking.

Justin: Yes, their reunion with one another will be a joyous one. I thought that it would be one. I don't think that would work since Leonardo has more of a connection with Gilgamesh and thanks, I'm happy to hear that you like that photo.

Frost: The actual anime…is in a fictional world…about a main character who gains out of nowhere power-ups by using breasts. An anime does not have to follow the actual religion to the letter. If it was like that then there would be no anime that is original it would be just the same thing. In DxD there is no proof that the Angels are related to one another as it has never been stated once and it is never even stated how Angels are even born. In the current arc, it was just stated that some (I don't know how many) of the old generation of Devils were made using flesh from Lilith. All that is said was that Angels couldn't be BORN not CREATED after God had died including the System left behind not being as functional as it was when he was alive…So it is simple to think that the System has something due to with it. So, if you have any complaint about the region in DxD, then take it up with the creator. The reason that I know Gabriel is blonde is because it is stated as she appeared in the light novel. And if you believe that they are all siblings, then you have a messed up idea of how siblings interact. (I have never seen brothers wanting to see their sister's breasts).

DdraigTrueEmperor9: Thanks. Yep, Ariel is far more adorable than a description could interpret. It is one of the reasons why I made The Magic Knight to way is it now to introduce more characters that aren't Devils. That would be a surprise to see a child of Michael appear there being one in the near future. It does sound like something that Yuuma would do if someone doesn't do what she asks them and Ariel definitely shut down after hearing the words from our favorite Yandere. I will show more interactions with them in the future along with the development of Lancelot and Griselda. There will be more talk between both him and Rossweisse. This arc, of course, includes the sad unfortunate tale of the family who lost their former happiness.

Guest 36: You know you really sound like a rude person if you put it like that. How could he inherit anything else from Gabriel since nothing else about her has even been stated? All the Angels who has had different holy abilities aside from their power of light were Uriel who wields Holy Flames and Barakiel (though Fallen Angel) has Holy Lightning. One trick phony? As I said before Angels, Devils and Fallen Angels all have their own inherent abilities and magic, but it is up to them how all of them are further developed.

I don't think that anyone else can tell someone else, especially someone that leave rude reviews should tell someone how their story should go. The only person who knows how the story should go is the author themselves while relying on the people who leave actual helpful reviews after reading a chapter. I will say this again…you are too focused on POWER, there are different ways for a person to fight in a battle aside from going in guns blazing at the start, which Lancelot has never done once during a fight.

Gabriel means "God is my Strength" not "Strength of God" and "Hero of God" (based on what I had read somewhere). Again, there hasn't been anything stated about what Gabriel can do aside from the power of light so you cannot judge someone else.

Lancelot is weak based on your own personal interpretation about how a person should fight as you are the only person saying so. He isn't the kind of person who goes all out at the start of the fight when it isn't even necessary, to begin with, or just keeping a Trump Card under wraps…that is the smart way about how to fight. He hasn't really shown what he can do in a fight as Lancelot only ever fought using just Techniques. And in what manner did you ever think that I have ever said that Gabriel is good for only her looks.

You keep misinterpreting the Half-Angels in DxD as they are referred to as "Miracle Children" as none of them are called Nephilim nor have the abilities of them from other media as it has totally nothing to do with the DxD Universe. As I said before, the hybrids that are in DxD DO NOT have any abilities that go against their heritage unless they wield Sacred Gears or it is a power that they themselves developed on their own.

In what way do you think that he is weak?

Even before regaining his power, he fought Kokabiel, catching one of his light spears then threw it back, giving Kokabiel injuries that even the Gremory Team together couldn't do, then forcing him to almost retreat after regaining his angelic abilities.

It is fighting two descendants of the Original Maou (with power on par with the original) and even toying what one of them by testing out a new spell? Or is it fighting on par with the wielder of the True Longinus (who defeat the kind of Power-Type that you are continuing to push on me), then capturing Issei in his Juggernaut Drive (when Shalba nearly died from a single hit)?

You really don't believe in character development at all do you? It wouldn't be at all good to write if you made your character OP from the start of the story. I gave all three of my original characters different traits and aspects so they all three of them has different paths for them to get stronger in their own separate fields and in order to make them different from one another. So, I really wished that you wouldn't attempt to use and compare them in order to justify your own biased point.

Guest: I think the idea of making Astolfo a girl sounds hilarious, but I might make them look a lot different from the canon version. The idea of making this Astolfo like a fujoshi that is obsessed with yaoi sounds like a hilarious idea.

Guest 2: I also had the idea of making Valerie his Joker. I don't think that it matters much what kind of species they are as Akeno a Fallen Angel/Human Hybrid could become a Devil. She would be a great addition to their cast.

Geezer from the Norse

"Hohohoho, so I have come to visit."

Odin laughed out in an energetic manner.

Location on the highest floor of the Hyoudou Residence is a VIP room meant specifically for this kind of situation and is controlled by the Three Factions. Sitting inside this room were the entire Gremory Team along with both Issei and Akeno, the latter was upset about the fact that their date was canceled along with meeting her father after all this time. Though, among the members of the Lancelot Team, only Lance, Percy and Ariel (who wasn't officially in his Brave Saints) arrived.

Lance did attempt to call in the others along with Yuuma, but her response was: 「We have better things to do at the moment than to listen to some perverted god.」Lance couldn't refute what she had said in that message.

"Here is your tea."

Rias served Odin tea since Akeno was dealing with much graver matters at the moment. In the midst of her serving Odin tea, the Chief-God stared at her large breasts.

"You don't have to worry about me. But, it seriously is huge~ That one is also huge~"

His reply was directed at both Rias and Akeno causing Issei to make a bit of a tensed expression on his face after that comment reached his ears.

Shine! Bang!

Rossweisse pulled a hitting fan from out of thin air using her magic and smacked Odin on top of his head causing the elder to let out a bit of a pained noise. The reaction alone caused them get a kind of Grayfia vibe from her.

"Lord Odin. You cannot look at them with such perverse eyes. She is the sister of the Maou Lucifer and the other is one of the Leaders of Grigori."

Rossweisse replied in a strong tone showing no remorse for hitting the Chief-God of the Norse.

"You are so hard headed," Odin stated as he rubbed the top of his head. "Both Sirzechs' sister and Baraqiel's daughter are famed for being beauties with glamorous bodies. I would stare at Azazel-Brat's daughter, but―" Odin has heard rumors about Yuuma being a bit murderous and witnessed it firsthand after meeting her once. "Oh, this one here is my escort Valkyrie. Her name is―"

"My name is Rossweisse," she introduced herself as she bowed her head respectfully towards all of the people in the room. "I will under your care during our stay in Japan. Nice to meet you all."

Rossweisse looked like a cool beauty skilled enough to be working for someone such as the Chief-God, Odin despite her age. Lance always took notice of how remarkable that was as she didn't look to be that older than himself if not by just a year or two. From all their talks with one another, he could tell that she was greatly skilled in various kinds of magic and has traded ideas more than once after their meetings with one another.

"She is a Virgin Girl," Odin said without a thought in mind. "Her [Years she didn't have a boyfriend equals her age]."

Hearing him caused a change in the usually confident Rossweisse as she fell to her knees and she began to smack the floor using her hands as tears streamed down her face.

"T-T-That has nothing to do with this! I didn't choose to not to have a boyfriennnnd! I didn't choose to still be a virginnnnn! Sob!"

"Lord Odin, why is it that you got to torment Rossweisse like this?"

Lance questioned letting out a slight sigh escaping from his mouth as she went over to console the silver-haired Valkyrie who still sat on the ground.

"There there don't listen to this bully of a Norse God," Lance said in a calm manner as he started to pat Rossweisse on the back in a gentle way. "There is no shame in being a virgin and any guy in the world would be lucky to at least know you let alone talk to you."

"I-I-I don't know why he puts me through this kind of torture," Rossweisse responded with tears in the corners of her eyes. "I try my best to be a Valkyrie for this Perverted God, but he doesn't even appreciate anything that I do."

The silver-haired Valkyrie continued to be consoled by Lance, while Odin's conversation sill went on without issues.

"Well, the business world of battle maidens is also having a hard time. Even if there are those with looks, they are mostly those who are not outstanding. Lately, the number of Heroes and Yuusha has decreased, and the Valkyrie squad has been minimized because of the lack of funds, so even this one was at the corner of the room until before she became my escort."

"During the time when Geezer will be staying in Japan," Azazel said laughing at what Odin had said prior and looked at his students. "It's decided that we will be your guard. Barakiel is a backup support member from Grigori. I also have been busy lately, so I only have limited times I can stay here. During then, Barakiel would be looking after all of you in my place."

Once everyone heard that they would be acting as guards for Odin, it caused some of the teens in the world to question if they were good enough to accomplish that. As none of them had much experience in guarding someone else.

"Geezer, don't you think you came a bit early to visit here? The date of your arrival should have been few days ahead. The reason for your visit this time is so that you can talk to the Japanese Gods, right?" Michael and Sirzechs would be the middleman and I would be sitting with you in the meeting…..right?"

"That's about it. And in our country, there is a bit of trouble…. Actually, there is a troublesome lad who is against my ways," Odin said letting out a bit of a sigh as he stroked his beard. "I thought that I should move things faster before he does something. That's why I want to discuss several things with the Shinto Gods. Until now, we were basically unsociable to each other and we didn't have any connections."

After hearing, [Actually, there is a troublesome lad who is against my ways], it caused one name to pop up in Lance's head.

"Rossweisse," Lance called her out causing Rossweisse to look towards him after calming down a bit. "This 'troublesome lad' that Odin is talking about, it's Loki isn't it."

"How did you know that?"

"Well, he is an Evil God. There is also the fact that Loki has a God-Killing Wolf for a son along with Fenrir's two little sons. I also hear that he has an obsession with Ragnarok."

Lance was already knowledgeable about other mythological factions in the world aside from their own faction from a young age. He also knew of the ranking of the "Top Ten Strongest Beings in the World" and knew that Fenrir was apart of it with power rivaling that of Ddraig and Albion in their separate primes. Lance could hear both Odin and Azazel talking about the Vanir

"I don't care about the Vanir….. Well, there is no point in discussing it. By the way Azazel-Boy. It looks like the Khaos Brigade is increasing the number of those who can use Balance Breaker. Scary it is. But I heard that those are a rare phenomenon?"

Most of the people in the room became shocked about this development, but it didn't shock Lance in the slightest as due to the actions of the Hero Factions.

"Yeah, they are rare. But there is some idiot who used the quickest, yet the scariest and easiest way by force to make Balance Breaker occur. That is something that one who is knowledgeable about Sacred Gear would at least think of once, but it is something no one could do because you would be criticized by each faction. It's definite that you would be heavily criticized whether you succeed or not."

"What is that method?"

"Rias' report is basically correct. The plan in which you will eventually succeed when you do it a lot. First, you gather humans who possess a Sacred Gear by force. It's basically abduction. Then brainwash them. Next, you send the Sacred Gear users to a place that has strong foes….the crucial places where superior beings reside in. You continue that until you have someone who reaches Balance Breaker. When they reached it, you summon them by force through a magic circle."

The Gremory Team dealt with a similar situation when a male member of the Hero Faction using a Defense-Counter Sacred Gear [Night Reflection].

"These are things no faction can do even if they thought about it. If I, who has an alliance with the Angels and Devils were to confront them and do the same things at crucial locations, then that will signal the start of a war. So no one wished for that. But they were able to do it because they are terrorists."

Azazel replied, but he stared at Issei who had a look on his face after hearing their methods into attaining Balance Breaker.

"Your face is saying that you reached Balance Breaker in such a way, Ise."

"Of course, I am, Sensei."

"You know Ise, even if I can't see you right now. I know that you're starin' at the back of my head."

Lance stated without turning towards Issei who was indeed staring at the back of his head.

"You know, you're tougher than a human right. You know being a devil in all?"

"I almost died."

"Don't be a drama queen training with me wasn't that bad."

"You basically haunted me down for the first three days!"

"I went through a lot worse when I was ten."

"You launched fire, ice, wind, and lightning magic at me like I had bulls-eye on me!"

"I was holding back," Lance said in a nonchalant manner. "If I were to actually hit you with much stronger magic then you would have been either blown off the mountain or died. All that I did was push you to the limits of both your physical and mental abilities, then used psychological warfare. But, that is in the past now."

Lance said avoiding going deeper into the topic, then started to go back to the topic of the Hero Faction as their main subject.

"Anyway, the Hero Faction is the definition terrorists," Lance added as he stood up from off of the ground with Rossweisse who calmed down. "They gather the blood relatives of famous heroes by either offer or by brainwashing them. Aside from Sacred Gears, there are also those who wield legendary weapons such as Siegfried. There is also the three High-Tier Longinus that cannot only slay Gods but can also destroy the world if used in either the wrong or right hands. Different from the Old Maou Faction none of them received one of Ophis' snakes to enhance themselves."

"What are they going to do by increasing the those who can use Balance Breaker," Odin questioned without a serious look on his face as he drank his green tea. "Now, that is the problem?"

"There various kinds of sacred gears that have different abilities that make them deadly even if it is a Defense-Counter Type as it can be used in a variety of versatile ways and is it only increased over obtaining balance breaker," Lance explained to the Chief-God. "The most dangerous attribute about sacred gears is that it evolves based on the emotions, thoughts, feelings, and needs. Some of them gain newer abilities and quality due to their experiences so if someone were to experience a defeat at the hands of let's say a Power-Type, then they would adapt in a way to deal with. So, their leader's thought is possibly one of the Sacred Gears among them will evolve into a Longinus."

Lance's thought caused some answers to come into the minds of both Azazel and Odin along with causing an impressed look to form on Rossweisse's face.

"That is one of the hypotheses that went through my mind after seeing what is occurring in this current era. Some new Longinus may be born," Azazel said before turning towards Odin. "Geezer, are there any places that you want to go since your already here?"

"I sure want to go to the Oppai Pub!"

"Hahaha, you sure have good taste, Chief God! Hell yeah, let's go there right now then! Young girls from my organization had opened a shop in this town for the VIPs. I will invite you there then!"

"Uhohoho! To be expected from Azazel-Boy! You sure know your things! Prepare me a big breasted one right away! I'm going to grope many of them!"

"Follow my lead Shitty-Geezer! Welcome to Japan! Do you want to untie their kimono obi? That is something you must do once when you come to Japan! I will show you the Japanese-style!"

"I can't wait for it~ I can't wait for it indeed~!"

Just as their conversation, their teacher and Grigori leader along with the Chief-God started to get wrapped up in their perverse minds causing a number of the people in the room to let out a sigh.

"Now, Rossweisse," Odin called out causing the silver-haired Valkyrie. "I know that you'll probably want to come, but―"

"No, I believe that Lord Odin will be alright if Azazel is together with him," Rossweisse replied in a bit of a strained smile. "Besides, I would like to talk a bit longer with Lancelot."

"Oh, I see," Odin responded with a bit of a sly look. "Then, I feel like leaving with Lancelot here will be a good thing for you. Young Lad, take great care in teaching this Virgin Valkyrie what the touch of the opposite sex is like."

Rossweisse's face turned several shades of red after hearing Odin and the thought of Lance doing all that to her.

"I swear if it isn't Azazel making the perverted comments, then it's you."

Lance sighed as he stared at Odin with an almost blank look on his face.

After seeing that both Azazel and Odin started to leave the room, Akeno started to walk away without saying anything as Barakiel attempted to talk to her. Not wanting to let things end, he followed after his daughter seemingly in the direction of the kitchen.

"Alright, let's go," Lance said out loud towards Percy and Ariel along with Rossweisse who would be following them all back home. Before he could leave, though Issei had stepped forward in front of him with a concerned look on his face. "You're going ask about Akeno and Barakiel, right?"

Lance questioned in a knowing tone, causing Issei to stare at him with a shocked look.

"How did you―?"

"You're kind of an open book. Your expression says it all."

"What kind of person is Barakiel-san?"

"Hmm, though Barakiel looks like more of the stern warrior-type. He is a bit overprotective when it comes to Akeno and I heard that he doted on her a lot when she was a child. Despite him being a bit rigid at times, he is a great person so you don't have to worry about him hating you."

Hearing that caused Issei some bit of relief, but then Lance continued.

"But," Issei made a worried look as he knew what the word "but" meant something terrible. "He is a good guy, but Barakiel can sometimes not understand the concept of a joke and takes everything at times a bit serious. So, as long as there weren't any rumors going around Grigori or worse Azazel said anything weird about you in one of his drunken rumbling."

"Like what?"

"This is Azazel we're talking about, so he would probably say something like I don't know…you're a dragon that devours breasts."

Lance said in a nonchalant manner causing Issei to think that he was kidding about this, but he was worried about Akeno and so he walked away towards the kitchen. Seeing that Issei headed in the direction of the kitchen Lance shrugged his shoulders.

"Hey, guys, when we head to the first floor, can you wait outside for a moment," Lance questioned. "I won't be too long."

"I don't mind, I was actually kind of bored and had nothing to do today."

"I'll be waiting with Percy and Lady Rossweisse."

"Rossweisse is just fine," said silver-haired Valkyrie responded to Ariel's polite response, the latter could only nod her head in agreement. "And we will all be waiting outside for you to finish."

The three of them agreed on that matter exiting the VIP room towards the first floor, as the others headed in the direction of the front door and went outside, while Lance headed in the direction of the kitchen. Once he arrived there he noticed that Issei was hiding in the corner watching as both Akeno and Barakiel talked with one another.

"Akeno, I would like to talk with you."

Barakiel spoke in a tone that showed that he was a caring parent not like the rigid tone he would normally speak to anyone else.

"Don't casually call my name."

Akeno replied in a cold tone that seemed out of character for her as she would normally be in her "Onee-sama" persona.

"…What is the meaning of this, that you are seeing the Sekiryuutei?"

The tone that came from Barakiel sounded far more concerned rather than being angry about it.

"This is my life. Why do I have to have you comment about this?"

"I heard rumors. That he is a shameless dragon that fights eating woman's b-breasts as his energy source. And he has another name called Chichiryuutei as well."

Hearing that comment caused Issei to become shocked about hearing those words coming from Barakiel who genuinely thought that.

"Hahaha," Lance couldn't help but laugh, but not loud enough for him to be heard. "I called it. I can not believe that I actually called it."

[I can't help but feel sorry for Ddraig. One of the once proud Heavenly Dragons referred to in such a way. That is possibly what Ddraig is talking about now inside of Issei Hyoudou.]

Avon replied from his compact form on the side. And he would be correct if either of them could hear the sadness from the Heavenly Dragon.

Barakiel continued to make attempt at approaching Akeno, but only for her to step away from him with both her arms crossed with an apathetic look on her face. Once Barakiel saw the expression on his daughter's face, it alone caused him to falter a bit.

"I'm worried about you," Barakiel continued to talk in a tone that could only belong to a child. "I'm worried that you are…receiving embarrassing treatment."

"Don't talk about him like that. Ise-kun can be a bit lecherous, but most of all he is both a kind and dependable man. So you judge people by rumors and gossip. You are the worst. Like I thought, I can't do something like…forgiving you…."

Lance could tell that Issei was happy about her defending him like that, but he was a bit saddened about the lecherous comment.

"I'm saying this as a father―"

The moment those words exited his mouth, Akeno started to explode spilling out the emotion that she felt about this situation.

"Don't act like a father! Then why didn't you come for me back then!? The one who left Kaa-sama to die without helping was you!"

"…."

Those words caused Barakiel to stiffen causing a look of sadness to appear on his face. Though, as Akeno turned away from him, she noticed the shape of Issei who hid in the shadows causing her eyes to widen a bit as the suddenness of his appearance.

"Ise-kun…. Were you listening?"

Issei came out feeling awkward about the situation, but he proceeded to come out, walking in the kitchen with both father and daughter staring at him with two distinct looks on their faces. Akeno was surprised about it, but she felt the slightest bit of relief about his presence. Barakiel, on the other hand, made an angered look as if his assumptions were correct.

"Ngh! Shameless! For a man to be eavesdropping! Like I thought, the rumors about you targeting woman's breasts are true! I won't let you eat my daughter's breasts, damn Chichiryuutei!"

Barakiel called out in an annoyed tone.

The pressure being released from Barakiel's body started to make Issei sweat, it only increased as his renowned Holy Lightning started to spark all around his body. Issei has heard rumors that the Holy Lightning of Barakiel that was strong enough for him to be referred to as [Lightning of God]. Seeing this situation, Akeno stepped in front of Issei and embraced him as if protected him.

"Don't touch him. Please don't take away this person from me. He is someone who is necessary for me…. That's why to disappear from here! You are not my father!"

Once those spiteful words left Akeno's mouth, it was the final nail on the coffin. Barakiel felt as if a part of him just broke as he stopped using his Holy Lightning and closed his eyes.

"…Sorry."

Barakiel apologized to Akeno as he left the kitchen.

Lance watched as Barakiel walked passed him, while he remained hidden in a spot that neither Akeno or Issei would be able to catch him. He surmised that Barakiel was too broken apart to even tell that he stood next to him. Staring into the kitchen, Lance watched as Akeno hugged onto Issei as if she were trying to hold some piece of herself together.

Not wanting to bother them, Lance instead walked in the direction of Barakiel who continued to walk forward towards the exit leading outside the Hyoudou Residence.

"She didn't mean it you know."

Lance spoke out loud enough for Barakiel to hear him.

"Ah, Lancelot you were spying as well."

Barakiel spoke in a tone that didn't sound as if he were at all angry about it.

"In my defense, I was spying on Ise who was spying on you two," Lance replied as Barakiel turned around to face him. Though he couldn't get a clear read of the expression on his, Lance could tell that he was still broken apart. "I've met a lot of kids at the orphanage who went through a similar situation as Akeno and each of them would blame someone for what happened in order to find a kind of stability in their lives, but the silver lining is that―"

After saying those words, Lance placed his hand on Barakiel's shoulder and finished.

"―it never lasts."

Those words caused some form of relief in Barakiel's heart.

"Thanks for that," Barakiel replied. "I will be meeting up with Azazel and Lord Odin. I have an idea of where they went."

Barakiel started to head outside of the front door in order to catch up with both Azazel and Odin who went to the Oppai Pub. Seeing that his business there was officially done, he stepped outside and met up with everyone else who was still waiting for him outside. All four of them then began to head in the direction of the Du Lac Residence.

"We'll have a lot to deal with due to Lord Odin being here."

Lance said outside as he rested both of his hands behind his head.

"Lord Odin didn't go through as much trouble as I thought when he asked for a meeting with the Shinto Faction gods," Rossweisse replied as she thought about the meeting that she had. "Though they did have an interest in the Norse Faction's Yggdrasil and he has an interesting in sharing a bit of our culture."

"I didn't take that perverted god for the type to take things seriously."

Percy spoke out loud with Rossweisse not disagreeing with the former monster hunter had said.

"Well, you aren't exactly wrong," the silver Valkyrie replied. "But, Lord Odin does at times have his moments in times of seriousness. He isn't a useless god."

"Rossweisse, you must be an incredible person if you're working close for Lord Odin."

Ariel added smiling at Rossweisse with a fascinated look on her face causing the latter to make a bashful look on her face.

"I didn't really do much at all," Rossweisse replied as she laughed a bit nervously before making a slight look of sadness on her face before returning to her natural look. "I did pick up how to use a series of offensive magic used in the Valkyrie Corps and some magic used by the members of my family, but I couldn't pick up on all of them."

Lance who noticed the look that she made before stared at Rossweisse and stated.

"I may not be the right person to say this, but there are a lot of people who can't learn what anyone in their family wants them to. The thing that matters most is finding out what you're mostly good at doing and excelling most in that even if others have an issue with it."

After saying that, Lance couldn't help, but thinking about a similar situation that Sairaorg was in, but he couldn't at all compare the situation as he only had one person that has ever supported him in his goals, while everyone, where we're supposed to support him only, turned their fangs at him.

"O-O-Oh no, my family wasn't at all disappointed in me," Rossweisse replied waving her hands in front of herself before gaining a smile. "My family were actually supportive about me and weren't at all disappointed in me. One of my relatives, my grandmother even said that is a lot of people like me once in a while so it isn't anything to be ashamed of. I studied and absorbed magic like a sponge and learned various kinds of magic different from the Norse Faction."

"I heard that the magic and sorcery of the Norse Faction is far more advanced than the magic of even our faction. So, I think that it is incredible that you could learn all of them to where you could become the personal Valkyrie of Lord Odin," Ariel stated as she stared at Rossweisse. "I don't think that it is even rare for someone within our religion to even be capable of even learning most of them."

Rossweisse started to become more embarrassed at all the compliments that were being thrown at her by Ariel, then stepped in front of the silvery-white haired girl and grasped her hands.

"You're such a generous girl! I've never thought that was someone out of from my family who could be this kind to me."

"But, you deserve it Rossweisse. Lord Odin should be more kind to you."

"You're absolutely right!"

Rossweisse replied as she stared at Ariel with tears at the corner of her eyes, while that was going on, Percy leaned in towards Lance with an odd look on his face.

"Boss-Man, does Lord Odin treat her like that all the time?"

"Every time that I see either of them in the same room."

"Why? That's straight up emotional abuse."

"I have no idea."

Both of them couldn't come up with the slightest reason as to why Odin would emotionally abuse Rossweisse like that whenever they saw them together.

Meanwhile, once they arrived at the Du Lac Residence, Lance unlocked the door using his key and opened to door to find a dark living room and kitchen. Lance as the owner looked around confused as he never expected any of this to happen, but as soon as he reached for the light switch―

[Surprise!]

They were all surprised as they were all welcomed by Yuuma, Xenovia, Irina, Yumi, Jeanne, Sona, Serafall (who returned after the arrival of Odin) and the members of Sona's peerage. All the living room was all decorated with party decorations with a banner that had read [Welcome to Kuoh Town, Ariel]. The moment that Ariel saw everything to stared at everyone with a confused look on her face. In the kitchen, there were a number food and desserts placed on the table.

"All of this is for me."

Ariel said in a tone that matched her confusion and surprise.

"Yep, we thought that it would be a great idea to celebrate your very first experience in the Human World."

"Well, I mean that was the idea, to begin with," Yumi added after Jeanne as she glanced around all of the decorations that they set up around the room. "All of this was the idea of an unusually kind Daughter of the Governor-General."

Yuuma looked a bit embarrassed about all the things that Yumi had said, but she later smiled.

"I didn't do all of this alone. I did have the help of everyone else here."

"This is all still amazing, Ane!"

Ariel answered in a tone that showed how excited and appreciative that she was about the entire party that was thrown just for her. Hearing how ecstatic that the young angel was about the party, Yuuma blushed with a bit of an embarrassed look.

"Well~," Serafall said with an ecstatic look on her face. "Though, Yuuma-chan wouldn't even allow my Sona-chan cook any of her desserts." All the members of Sona's peerage paled at the idea of a dessert made by Sona. "Let's all celebrate the arrival of Ariel-chan!"

"I'm all for having a party thrown!" Percy replied in a hyped tone as he threw his fist into the air. "Let's turn up the music!"

"Per-kun has the right idea!"

Jeanne called out as she picked up a remote and started turning up the music, it was a popular sound that most of them knew. Once the music started to everyone started to get into the groove of the music with Jeanne being the first person to start to move her body as if she were preparing to start dancing.

"Come on~ who thinks that they can challenge me to a dance off~"

Jeanne said in a cheerful yet a challenging manner.

"I'm not doing that again," Yumi mumbled to herself in a dry manner.

"I'll take that challenge~"

Tomoe, Sona's single Knight stepped up with her hand held out in a hyperactive manner.

And just like everyone started to gather around both Jeanne and Tomoe who started to a dance-off between one another. As everyone gathered around both of them cheering what the one that they wanted to win, Sona started to approach Lance with a somewhat apologetic look.

"What's wrong, Sona-chan?"

"I'm sorry that I invited my peerage without asking."

"It's alright, I mean this is also your house. Besides, it's good seeing everyone here together for our little Ariel."

"Yes," Sona replied with a smile before taking a glance towards the dance-off that was starting. "I believe that my Knight as a far chance against Jeanne-san."

"It wouldn't say that Jeanne-chan isn't just called the Sword Dancer for her skill with a sword."

Being Kings, both Lance and Sona started showing their competitive sides and support for their brave saint/peerage member prospectively. As the dance-off continued, Tomoe started to dance in a manner matching her hyperactive nature though was controlled and agile matching her status as a Knight. Jeanne followed by making several motions of her waist and body that would normally be seen only by a professional showing the very definition of eligance and form. The cheers that were going for Tomoe from her own fellow peerage members started going to Jeanne and once it ended—

"Hah, I'm never challenging her to a dance off again."

Tomoe sighed as she sat down on the couch mentally exhausted about the dance-off with Jeanne.

"Don't talk like that Tomoe-chan."

Jeanne attempted to cheer her up, but Tomoe continued to let out a sigh of depression.

"I felt the same way when she first beat me in a dance-off."

"If I can't beat you in Xenoverse, then I can at least beat you in dancing Yumi-chan."

She answered Yumi with a victorious and somewhat snob look on her face.

"I guess that I'll count this as a lose Lance-kun."

Sona said in an almost defeated tone, but she also showed a bit of a smile as she enjoyed the time spent with not only Lance but also her peerage and Lance's brave saints. Sona then glanced over towards Saji who had both Momo and Ruruko on both sides of him attempting to feet him food off a plate that they made for him.

"Come on, Gen-chan," Momo said in a sweet tone as she positioned the piece of food towards his mouth. "Saw awwww~"

"A-Awwwww."

Saji opened his mouth with a bit of an embarrassed look on his face but was stopped as Ruruko shoved Momo aside with food from her plate positioned in front of him.

"Saji-senpai doesn't want to eat anything from you," Ruruko stated with a hint of venom causing Momo to narrow her eyes towards her. "I know what kind of food that Saji-senpai likes to eat."

"You really are a cheeky little kouhai, Ruruko."

"Well, Momo-senpai," Ruruko smiled in a dangerous manner as she looked directly in front of her. "I liked Saji-senpai first. Didn't you say that you like Kiba-senpai first?"

"That was before I started to get to know Gen-chan."

Both Momo and Ruruko continued to glare at one another with a dangerous smile on both of their faces, with Saji remaining on the side with a nervous smile and a feeling of hunger starting to well up within him as he stared at the plates of food in their hand.

"I'm glad to see that Saji is enjoying his time with Momo and Ruruko," Sona stated with a smile. "I think that they all make a good couple."

"That is if the two of them can learn to share him."

Lance added.

"Lance-kun," Yuuma called out as she approached him. "Did you buy everything that Ariel wanted for her bedroom?"

"Yea, I put it all in my dimensional storage."

"Good, can you transport it all in her room? The other girls and I will help arrange the room how she wants and some personal things that boys shouldn't see later."

"Alright, just give me a moment," Lance closed his eyes as a magic circle formed in his hand, there was a slight silence before he opened his eyes again. "There. Everything that Ariel picked out is in her bedroom."

"That's good."

"Yuuma-san," Sona glanced towards Yuuma who was smiling to herself. "I have been thinking about this for a while, but why are you being this nice to Ariel-san?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

Yuuma avoided the question and looked away as if she were pretending that she didn't hear it.

After that, everyone continued on with the welcoming party for Ariel with everyone enjoying the food prepared for the party. Saji was being fed by both Momo and Ruruko after seeing how hungry that he started getting after seeing all the food around him without being given any. Afterward, the girls went into Ariel's room in order to put together her room, arrange the clothes in her closet, try on the clothing that Yuuma had bought for her as a present.

The three lone men inside the living talked with one another but were later joined by Tsubasa who was a bit more tomboyish and couldn't relate too much with the other girls before being dragged off back to the room by Yuuma. Lance, Saji, and Percy talked about a number of things, with Saji starting to ask Lance more about his sacred gear and the dragon sealed within it.

"Lancelot you should start thinking more about the amount of money that you spend."

"Yes, I know, Rossweisse," Lance answered with a smirk. "Though I can't help, but want to spend money on my adorable junior. Besides, I didn't spend so much that it made a dent in my earning."

The library on the sixth floor of the Du Lac Residence, it was spacious and it had a number of bookshelves similar to that of a library, but it wasn't too big; there were also various comfortable chairs and tables for people to sit down on and read in peace. Inside of the library was both Lance and Rossweisse, the latter asked to be shown this floor due to her interest in magic.

"I know, but you should be more mindful about how much you spend. Have you ever considered to start budgeting?"

"I thought that I had been, but if you have some advice, then I wouldn't mind."

Hearing what he said without the slightest hint of joking or teasing caused Rossweisse to feel a bit warm in her chest. Though, after noticing that feeling, she started to let out a deep blush and started to look for a different subject to talk about.

"A-Ah, this is an amazing choice of magic books. There are even some ancient and rare books that would normally be found from the Norse Faction."

"Well, the Ambrosius Household does sometimes gather and research rare and ancient magic text, books, runes, etc. There were even some who researched the Dimensional Gap for magic from the era of the Ancient Gods." Lance answered as he was going through an ancient magic book that originated from the Norse Faction, while there were papers with various kinds magics formulas, equations, and symbols. "My uncle said that they had to make books and chose to send some of them here instead to be of great use to my research and other use. The magicians who are related to Merlin don't believe in there being a useless magic as a master magic user can turn it into a far more dangerous attack."

"Hehehe."

"What's so funny," Lance asked with a bit of a laugh. "That was insanely cute."

"My granny…I mean, grandmother used to tell me that a lot. She always used to say, 'No matter what magic it is, it will definitely help the Magician and those around them'. I believe her."

Based on how she talked whenever it came to her grandmother or [Granny], Rossweisse held great admiration towards her. Lance somewhat felt the same way as her when it came to Elaine. After seeing the cover of the book that he was hearing, Rossweisse got behind him and noticed some of what he was reading.

"Is this book filled with Ancient Norse Magic?"

"Yea, it was some of the rarest books held by the Ambrosius Family, but I'm having some difficulty with understanding some of it. I believe that reading this would give me a hint in decoding some codes and expand my Avalon Syntax to what I believe should be possible for it. It would also mean increasing the effectiveness of my existing spells. There are also some spells and techniques that I made in the past that I might actually be able to use in combat without wasting my magic power. And if we do end up having to fight Loki, then I believe that it would be a great help."

"I see, but you have a lot of knowledge in Norse Magics."

"It was one of the first magic that I was taught by my uncle during training since then I gained more of an interest in norse magic. The magic circle that I use most of the time is based on the magic from the Nose Faction."

"Well, I've seen this kind of rune before. If you don't mind, I could offer my assistance."

"Thanks, I wouldn't mind really."

Lance replied as he turned towards Rossweisse with a sincere smile on his face, again, the silver-haired Valkyrie started to blush again before returning to her normal shade. She leaned forward so that she could get a better look at the text written in the book and directed her attention to one of the runes drawn in the room.

"This rune here means the stabilization of magic and improves its offensive and defensive traits," Rossweisse said as she leaned a bit closer as she pointed at another one. "This rune can enhance a person's physical attributes after being drawn on their body."

"I see, what about this one," Lance questioned as he pointed at another one that looked a bit more difficult to describe. Once she saw that one, Rossweisse leaned a bit close causing Lance to blush a bit as he could feel her large bust pressing against his back. Based on the feeling, he could tell that they were a bit larger than Yuuma. "R-Rossweisse."

"This rune here it meant for defensive purposes."

Lance thought that Rossweisse was too absorbed in assisting him to even notice, he could hear all that she was saying, but it was a bit foggy as she was practically rubbing against his back.

"And, this rune means," Rossweisse said out loud, but she later realized what she was doing and her face started to turn red from embarrassment and stepped away from him waving around both her arms in a panic. "I-I-I didn't mean to do that, I just got too into the subject and didn't realize! It must be due to the influence of Lord Odin!"

Lance stared at Rossweisse as she talking in a loud voice, as she flailed around her arms. Again, he couldn't help, but find what she was doing as being cute.

"Calm down, Rossweisse. Don't forget, we are in a library," Lance tried to calm her down in a gentle tone and it actually worked. "I have no issue about what happened…I mean, I can't say that I didn't like it. But, why don't we just finish this up?"

"O-Okay."

After saying that, Rossweisse instead took one of the seats next to Lance and continued assisting him in better reading the text written in the room. As the two of them were alone inside the quiet library, they started to go into other kinds of topics until the time came where Rossweisse had to go back with Odin.

"I can't thank you enough for you what you have done for me Ane."

In front of Ariel's bedroom door, which has a cute sign on the front door that had her name written in glitter was Yuuma who stood in front of the young angel and dressed for bed.

"It wasn't much, I just thought that I could do at least this much for my junior," Yuuma said as she placed her hand on top of Ariel's head. "And if you need anything, then I will be right next door."

"Okay, goodnight, Ane."

Ariel replied in a cheerful tone as she headed inside of her bedroom to go to sleep and closed her door.

Yuuma then started to head in the direction of her own bedroom, which was a bit far from where Ariel's bedroom was. Once she turned her doorknob, Yuuma had stopped after hearing a familiar voice.

"You really did a lot of Ariel today."

It was Lance who was dressed in a simple black shirt without sleeves and shorts, he couldn't help but stare at Yuuma who was dressed in a negligee. After seeing him, Yuuma started to smile in a gentle manner.

"Hey, Lance-kun. What are you doing here?"

"Nothing, I thought that I would come and ask a question."

"Why does it feel as if everyone is always attempting to interrogate me," she spoke in a tone that sounded as if she were hurt before switching to her usual sultry tone. "Though, I wouldn't mind if Lance-kun was doing the interrogating and I may give you an answer if you were to give me a light spanking."

"Since you were as kind as you were today, then I might as well take you up on that offer," Lance said in a tone that caused Yuuma's heart to skip a beat. "Though it's not like I am surprised that you are nicer than everyone thinks you are, but I am still surprised that you were as nice as you were to Ariel since you met her."

Hearing his response, Yuuma looked away with a bit of an embarrassed about the answer that she was about to give.

"I…wan…a….lit…."

"Huh?"

"I've always wanted a…."

"Wanted what?"

"I've always wanted a little sister."

Yuuma answered in a soft tone as she glanced away with a reddened face and causing Lance to stare at her with a surprised look.

"I always asked my Kaa-san if I could have a little sister, but she said that Tou-sama wouldn't be able to handle dealing with three women all at once. Even after that, I still thought about what it would be like to have a sister. How would she look? What her laugh sound like? I imagined what it would be like to take her out shopping for something that she wanted. And when I saw Ariel for the first time, I couldn't help but think that my dream had come true."

Lance stared at Yuuma as she made the happiest look that he had ever seen her muster up before since meeting her. And he could fully understand her feelings on the matter, as to Lance all of the children within the Chivalric Order + Gasper were all like his younger brothers and sisters even if they weren't related by blood.

"I understand Yuuma-chan," Lance replied with a smile. "I think that after all that you have done for Ariel, I think that you deserve something."

"Oh~ I wonder what kind of gift Lance-kun will be giving me? Is it a―"

Chu. Lance moved forward pressing his lips against hers causing Yuuma to blush a deep shade of red as a result of the suddenness of it, but she soon melted into the kiss wrapping her arms around him. As soon as they separated from one another, Yuuma stared at him with a smile on her face and placing a single finger on her lips.

"I didn't expect that at all, Lance-kun," Yuuma said in a tone that was deserving of someone her age. "I guess that I should be grateful for that Blue-haired Sl…I mean Xenovia, as I never thought you would be this forward before. Though, I think that you could do better."

Yuuma said that last part in a more challenging manner in an attempt to egg Lance on. After taking the hint, Lance smirked leaning forward pressing his lips against hers. This time their kiss started to turn deeper with both of their tongues starting to wrestle against one another.

"Nnn….mph…"

Yuuma started moaning in their kiss as she began running her hands in Lance's brown hair. During their kiss, Lance reached his hand out slipping it inside their opening of her negligee and began groping her large breasts in a circular manner. The first thing that he noticed was that she wasn't wearing a bra under it letting him feel the incredible level of softness from her right bosom. Lance could feel her nipples starting to turn erect from the continuous groping.

"….Auwa."

Lance and Yuuma stopped after hearing a noise coming from their left side stopped, then moved away from one another with a trail of saliva linking their tongues being broken apart. They turned to the source noticing that it was Ariel who started to let out steam from her head as if she were starting to overheat.

"I…I wanted something to…d-drink…and I…I…saw…."

Ariel said in a nervous tone.

Steam!

More and more steam and heat started coming from Ariel as she covered her face. Once the two of them noticed that they let out a nervous laugh.

"I'll go and get her something to drink and you go calm her down."

"Got it," Yuuma replied to Lance with a smile on her face as she went to Ariel and wrapped both of her arms around her. "There there Ariel."

Yuuma started to laugh at the reaction given by the young angels who was practically emitting heat from her head, but she also smiled at the fact that she has a little sister that she could dote on.

A/N: And there goes the thirty-ninth chapter of The Magic Knight, not much has happened in this chapter except for a couple of things. It was the usual meeting with Odin about his visit to Japan, there was the talk about the Hero Faction and the conversation between father and daughter for the first time since that terrible incident with her mother with Lancelot giving some comforting words to the mourning father. Returning to the Du Lac Residence, it was a welcome party for Ariel to Kuoh Town with the rest of Sona's Peerage joining the fun.

After that, there was some time spent between Lancelot and Rossweisse in the library on the sixth floor with both of them discussing their favorite subject of magic and some moments with the two of them. Then there was some reveal as to why Yuuma was so kind of our new little Angel with a shared moment with her and Lancelot, but the two of them caused Ariel to overheat again.

Not much to say any more about this chapter. So, until next time later.
