Well, first things first, I fully intended to post this chapter yesterday, but then the power went out... So yea had to wait till today. So I want to say sorry for making you all wait longer than usual.

This chapter is also pretty short, which I am very sorry about... also, I don't think I'll be able to post a chapter in the next two weeks, as things are going to be busy during that time. (My sister is getting married soon! And while I don't like her that much, and I'm very much happy for her. And hopes that she has a long and happy marriage!)

Now, let talk about the poll shall we? Well, all I can see if I certainly didn't expect so many people to want Isai in Issei's Harem nor that it would win! It was quite a shocker really, and I honestly would like to know why so many people want that. Also, the fact that Isai/Akeno is in second place is also a shocker as well. I didn't expect that to get any votes really.

But, it seems you guys didn't fully read what I typed, forgot, or just skimmed it over. I did say the winner wasn't guaranteed to become the official pairing. So please don't act like it's going to happen for sure. Not only that but I've actually talked to some people threw PM that they gave pretty good points on why I shouldn't put Isai in Issei's Harem.

I will say that I can't ignore it either, however.

Now, will I go threw with it or not? It's honestly hard to say. It's something I need to think long and hard for, yes it doesn't affect the main plot either way, but still, it's not something I can just do on a whim. And even if I decide to go along with it, expect some of the slowest of burns.

If you wondering why I even made the poll then... Well, I just wanted to know what people wanted to see, as well as give me some ideas on how I want to go forward with some pairings. And I will say some ideas have indeed popped in my head.

But for now, I'm going to set that poll side and place the other poll I promised! I might even do a similar poll in the future to see if people opinions changed or not, though that won't be for a long while.

Also, yes, the special crossover chapter will be posted soon, you won't have to wait long for it!

So let's get to the reviews, shall we?

DT3: It's good to see a fellow F/GO player! All of the Servants in this story are in fact in F/GO, if you look at the Servant list in that game, you might be able to get an idea on who I'm adding in!

Chronos0305: For this grail war? 3 of each class except for Ruler, in which there's only 2. And yea... you'll see how she is with cars very soon.

Evowizard25: Thank you. Honestly, I think a lot of characters need to spend more time with each other, and I plan to do just that threw out this arc.

POLL: I believe I already addressed this just now. I'm probably going to be thinking about this for a long time. And as I said before, some people have already given some good points on why I shouldn't. And really? I didn't know that A lot of DxD fanfics I read. (admittedly, I'm mostly read DxD/Fate crossovers) don't do that. Perhaps the stories we read are just different.

GoldenFire 215: I don't know, hopefully, I can get some reasons as to why. As I'm genuinely curious on the subject.

angelvan105: Thank you as always! As for your question, while it isn't cannon to this story, I do plan to keep it them as separate universes... That said, I have... very big things planned for it since I don't need to worry about it clashing with the main Story.

That's all for the reviews, Now let's get on with the chapter!

"Speaking."
"Thinking."
"Servant Speaking."

Sofia sighs as she places the phone down. Lying on the bed, she grabs the nearest bottle of Water and quickly starts to drink it down.

She lived in a pretty decent, one-room apartment, it honestly wasn't anything special but frankly, she wasn't going for special, just a nice comfy home to come to every now and then.

Though, in its current state, I wouldn't say it's a mess... But I wouldn't say very clean either.

"Why do you even bother with people like her anyways?" Saber voice echos in Sofia's head. "Seems like a major waste of time to me."

"Sometimes the best option is to blend in with the common folk." Sofia calmly told her, as she now skimming threw pages of a comic. "And frankly, I find them far more interesting than any Devil or Angel. Most magi only care about is the root, and all the other important races are in this ticking time bomb known as a 'Stalemate'. And let's not even speak of those so-called 'mages'"

"And?" Mordred asks as if she heard this a million times already.

"And? Normal humans just have so many things one can do compared to any of the other Races. And even most forms of entertainment was made by them. Like seriously, T.V, Gaming, movies, Sports, just to name a few. Meanwhile, most magi are too dense to convert to modern times, and the three 'races' are too preoccupied with potential war... Makes me glad I ditched the mage's association." Sofia said, going on a bit of a rant.

"Yea, most Magi are cowards, not facing your opponent face to face like a man. I much prefer a Master like you to any dumb Magi." Mordred agrees to Sofia, though for completely different reasons.

"Yes, I suppose we're on the same page when it comes to that... kinda." She said, putting the comic down when she quickly become bored of it. "That said, not really much to do. I still refuse to go to that party though."

"I can't blame you, but she is right when she says you should let loose a little bit," Saber told her Master.

"Me? Really? Do I look like a party goer to you?" Sofia asks.

"Pfff do you even really need to be one to go to a party to be one?" Saber questions.

"No, but that doesn't really mean anything," Sofia told her. before jumping off her bed and walking to a nearby table with a computer, staring at it. "... I could look for another bounty or maybe a missing person case? the church or the fallen angels could have something.."

"Now that's what I'm talking about! You track the bad guy, and I beat him to death! Though it is a bit risky to get involved with those, especially with how cautious they are with each other." Saber happily said.

"That's only if we can find a job," Sofia told her. "But as long as the reward is worth the risk I'm more than willing... Then again, they're always... Lucinda. She seems to always have something for me to do. That said, she already has a job for me, and I doubt she'll give me another to past the time."

"I still believe there something very wrong with that women." Saber said. "I don't know what, but my instinct always screams not to get involved with her."

"Yes, she is indeed what you would call 'bad news' but regardless, she pays well and tends to be consistent with giving jobs. that's what matters in the end." Sofia said, she would be lying if she said Lucinda wasn't the reason they have a roof over their heads. Sure every now and then she can get something from the church or whatever. But Lucinda was always the main providers of her jobs. As much as she wouldn't want to admit it.

"... I think I'm going to get some coffee." She said after a bit of thinking.

Sitting at the table outside of a Cafe in London, Sofia was quickly looking over the passing crowds. A hot cup of coffee sitting on the table she's at. It was a rather busy place. Most people just going about their day.

"I find it funny that you couldn't find anything to do right after saying there so many things humans could do." Saber said at the expense of her Master.

"Well, that doesn't change what I said. Besides, Just enjoying the sights of the city and watching people walk by is nice as well." I said.

"Pff, if by nice you mean really boring, then I can agree." Saber said, not very happy with just standing there and doing nothing.

"Well, I'm not going to be looking for a fight. That'd be dumb." Sofia calmly said.

"Come on! We got to do something, Like what about looking into some other Master? Give them a test drive and see how strong they are!" Saber reasons. In which Sofia only lets out a sigh.

"Every Servant we know about does not even live in London, and while I'm pretty sure there more then 1 Servant in this city, we have no way of fingering out who they are. Plus the war hasn't even started yet." Sofia counters. "Now if you going to give any suggestions, how about giving one that doesn't involve trying to beat the crap out of something?"

This wasn't actually an insult, in fact, this was a genuine question the Sofia has given her Servant. Now you would think that someone like Mordred would react badly to such a tone and question.

But the Servant was more than used to her Master by now.

"... How about looking for stray cats?" Mordred offers.

"You know the landlord does not accept pets right?" Sofia told her Servant.

"I didn't mean take them in! I mean like, I dunno, give them some food or something." Saber suggests.

"...a rather strange suggestion..." Sofia told her. But doesn't seem to dislike the idea "But it's not like I have anything better to do."

"Yea, of course, and they're doing a good thing, taking care of the cats!" Saber agrees... But Sofia is pretty sure she suggests that only because she likes cats, not because it's a good thing to do.

Still... It not that bad to be a good person every now and then.

It was a lively day, the birds were chirping, the grass was softly brushed by the air, and the sun hung high in the sky. It was a lovely day, one that almost anyone could appreciate.

Thought the lovely atmosphere of the day was quickly dying down as the sound from the distance slowly encroached on it.

But just what was that sound? Well, it's rather easy to tell, it was, in fact, the sounds of panic screaming of.. some people.

At the moment, form the top of a small hill, a van comes speeding up and getting some air, much to the distress of everyone in it, aside from the driver of course.

And with a hard thud, the van lands on the dirt and continues to speed away, somehow remaining completely intact and with no signs of damage.

Of course, when the van came to what looked to be a rather sharp turn, the diver quickly shifted gears and starting to spin the driver wheel. This, in turn, caused the van to turn a bit to its side and drift, but was... rather reckless, then again, pretty much everything up to this point involving this van was reckless. Still, because of this, the van was just able to narrowly avoid crashing into a couple of trees that were just off the road.

As they were about to reach their destination, The driver then hits the breaks and starts spinning that wheel, causing the van to spin around before coming to stop. As it stopped, one side of the van rises slightly due to the momentum, and for a brief second, one side of the vehicle ever so slightly came off the ground before firmly landing back where it belongs.

The van now was perfectly parked horizontally, and like before, the van was in perfect condition, as if nothing happened.

To sum things up nicely, this is what happens when you give a crazy driver B rank Riding.

And with the van now turned off, the driver opens her door and takes a step on. Taking a deep breath with a smile.

"God that felt amazing," Isai said and she stretches her arms and legs a bit as she been in a van for the last couple of hours. "We need to do that again sometime in the future!"

Of course, at this point, the other doors open, and everyone else comes tumbling out, in various level of disarray.

Issei, unfortunately, was the first one to get out and was properly buried in the other people that came out with him.

It wasn't hard to see that everyone but Isai looked disheveled, shocked and seems to still be recovering from the effects of Isai's Driving.

Of course, none of the Devils were actually harmed or anything. but the intensely of Isai's diving was... not expected, to say the least...

Ai was the first to recover, though her hair was a bit messy.

"... That was way worse than before..." Ai let out as she felt she needed to catch her breath.

"Tell me about it." Keiichi agrees as he got back on his feet. Though from the way he moved, it seems he wasn't fully there. "What the hell happened?"

"She probably took full advantage of Saber's Riding skill," Archer's voice was heard by all, sounding completely unfazed by all of this "Honestly it could have been much worst."

"...I have a headache," Yuuto admits as he holds his head.

"That was... certainly something..." Akeno couldn't help but say.

"Yes, I never expected such a... well... whatever that was." Rias couldn't help but say.

"...That was scary, I don't want to do that again." Koneko said. Even she looks surprised.

"... Please get off of me. I'm being crushed!" Issei whines to everyone who's still on him. Luckily, the person who was on him quickly got off.

"What, did you guys not like it?" Isai questions, looking at the group.

"NO!" Everyone yells, causing her to flinch a bit.

"Was I not a good driver...?" Isai quietly asks.

"... I think it'd be best that you didn't drive form now on alright?" rias said. "It's nothing personal but... Well, I don't think any of us would want to go threw that again."

This was something that everyone else but Isai agrees on.

"..Eh, I'm sure you all are just overreacting." Isai said, then looking at the house that they'd be staying at for the next couple of weeks. "Huh..."

Issei, Ai, and Keiichi also look at the place.

"Wow...! It looks like a Mansion!" Issei excitedly says. "This is the place were staying at?!"

Rias nod, happy that her pawn likes it already.

"Yup, And I'm more than sure that you'll all come to love the place~," Rias said with a laugh.

Keiichi was similarly excited, though he wasn't nearly as loud as Issei.

Ai, however, was frowning, quietly heavily.

"Great... Can't wait to stay here" She quietly, yet sarcastically let out. She especially made sure to be quiet enough to where no one would hear her.

Though from the look Isai is giving her. She knew exactly was Ai was thinking of, she didn't even need to hear her. And as a result, sighs a bit.

"I guess that's expected... Hey Ai!" Isai said to grabs the said person's attention. "Let's share a room alright? It'll be like old times!"

Rias smirks at those words, not that either Iasi or Ai noticed.

Ai was quiet for a moment before nodding.

"Alright... Just like old times..." He said to herself, though it didn't sound as joyful as Isai. But she understood why Isai.

"Well, I had different rooms set up for you two" Rias points out. "but I don't see a problem with sharing a room, I'll get another bed set up in one of your rooms."

But Isai just shakes her head.

"It's fine, Ai and I can share one, we used to do that all the time when we were younger," Isai told Rias. With Ai nodding in agreement.

"Yes, I would much prefer that." She honestly said. "And don't you dare say anything Archer."

"I wasn't planning onto," Archer said, thought Ai clearly thought otherwise.

"Can I joi-"

"No." Both Ai and Isai said at the same time, denying any chance for Issei.

"Damn..." Was all Issei could say without upsetting Ai.

"Did you really think they would let you?" Keiichi wonders. "I mean, even I wouldn't be able to get in."

"You make it sound like your special, and trust me, you're not," Ai told him. Keiichi just shrugs.

"I mean, I am closer to you two and anyone else here." He said, and he really wasn't lying.

"So are we going to go straight to training? I want to get stronger as fast a possible!" Isai said as the group grabs their bags form the van.

"Well, before that. I think it'd be best for us to settle in first." Rias said. "Rather have all of us feel at home before we work ourselves down to the bone."

"That's something I can go along with." Keiichi agrees, smiling a bit. "Place looks fun. And we're not even inside yet!"

"Trust me, it'd be a very enjoyable place," Rias assures him. "But for now, let's get inside and show you all to your room shall we?"

The two girls stared around the room that was given to them, their bags sitting on top of the king-size bed. Their expressions as blank as an empty page.

The reason for this blank stare was because... well, the walls and ceiling were painted in a way that made it look like they were outside...

Just like Ai's childhood room. Of course, it wasn't cartoonish like her room was. But it was clear as day why Rias had the room painted this way...

"... It seems that she knows more about us than we first thought. Must have dug into our past at some point..." Isai said as she sat on the bed. "A bit unnerving, but I don't think she meant any harm by it."

"...Why couldn't she have gone with a Japanese look instead?" Ai said with a frown. "I don't like it, I don't like it at all."

"I think she just wanted us to feel more at home with the place," Isai said. "And a Japanese look wouldn't really fit in a mansion like this now would it?"

That was something Ai couldn't argue with.

"...Well, I can say for sure that is what she certainly did." Ai told her best friend. Thought any semblance of a good mood was long ruined.

"... If you want, we can stay in my room instead." Isai offers. "Though I can't really say that it looked nearly as cool as this one."

Ai closes her eyes to think...

"... No, it's fine." She finally says. "... She took the effort to actually find out what my old room looks like and decided to make this one look like it, at least in terms of the walls and ceiling... and While I have... certain feelings about that. I don't want such efforts to go to waste."

"...Yea, I guess your right." Isai agrees. "Thought it makes me wonder just how much they already know about us..."

"It's also just weird that they would even look up your past master, and not in a good way," Archer said.

"Yea... It'll be something that we'll have to bring up in the future." Ai said.

"Well, at least she made sure the bed wasn't small. That would have sucked," Isai admits.

Yeah, it would certainly have. thought honestly Ai was sure that the beds would be pretty big. Rias was just as well off as Ai is after all. though for completely different reasons. She no doubt wanted to leave a good impression of this place.

It's a shame that it had the opposite effect on Ai. Though she's not going to blame Rias. She didn't know about Ai's dislike of mansions, and she especially wouldn't have known how Ai would feel about this room in particular. The fact that the room is even like this proves that.

Ai will just have to put up with it for the next couple of weeks. Besides, even with how it looks, it wasn't too bad. It was still decently sized room, neither too big or too small for the Redhead, just the way she liked it, and it had a comfortable bed to boot.

And Isai would be here too, which does help a lot. Isai sleeping over when they were young was where some of the best memories Ai ever had came to be. Memories that she would hold so dear.

So maybe it wasn't as bad as she first thought... She can also take this time to plan things out and train like the others. Of course, what she plans to do is vastly different then anything the others have planned out.

If she could pull it off that is.

That said, she still got a lot of questions for the Redheaded Devil now.

N/As: Well, not much really happened, but we get to see a bit into Sofia's everyday life. And it looks to be that Rias knows a bit more about Ai then we first thought. I do wonder where that will lead. Also, my god Isai, you need to take a chill pill when it comes to driving.

Aside from those things, I don't have much else to say.

So I'll see you guys... really soon in fact. Probably an hour or so.
