Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

hellspam; Many interesting things indeed. It always seems like things get rallied up when he's there, huh.

DocSlendy; I suppose it could be like that yeah.

Absolute Mirage; Aah, thank you! Glad that you did! Yeah, even she couldn't deny that she was doing that, after seeing proof that she was doing that. Akeno and Makoto, just go so well together, don't they? So cute together. Really? Makoto, despite his shyness and insecurities, has been shown to stand up when he believes in something or wants to protect, like when he fought with Mittelt when she attacked him, or when he took the spear of light for Yumi way back in chapter one. Ah, chapter one would have the description of her, she's there maybe past the middle. Cool harem suggestions, and thank you!

Harem Master123; Thank you! Yup, after these chapters, he did get his point across. Really, well I am glad to do something new~ Was it? I thought it was straightforward. Tsubasa threw the couch at Freed, and Tsubaki chased after him. I checked it, and that's what I put down, so I dunno why you're confused, hope this fixed it. Cool suggestions.

Blue Eyes Pendulum Dragon; Thanks! He does indeed have that now, after a somewhat blow out with Sona, putting his points across. I suppose she could look like that, it would kinda fit I guess. He is quite like that, he likes to plan ahead, and if he can't then he doesn't want to suddenly go all out, he wants to analyse his opponents, and hope that he doesn't run into something dangerous. Ise does rely on his Sacred Gear, but so do pretty much all Sacred Gear users. Though there are exceptions of course, and Makoto will have his own unique set of skills outside of his Sacred Gear, just can't say what that is yet. Well, Vali does use a sword made of magic in vol 20 I believe to chop off his grandfather's arm, so I don't see why not. Hehe, maybe he could. Hmmm, he very well could be, or he could be something else entirely. There is a little more than his Sacred Gear is saying right now, it is something alright~ He's both, like Vali I suppose. Vali's talented, but always trains too. So, Makoto is like that. Well, we'll have to wait, and see what happens with his Sacred Gear huh.

Nivek Beldo; Seems like it huh. Asia had more of an impression than at a simple glance could tell. Lucy slowly is showing some more of her, isn't she? Even some of her past has been revealed, only a matter of time now. She really is becoming more bold as they get comfortable with one another. And yeah, Yumi does care for him, and could see what was going on, though Makoto didn't want her to get into trouble. Yup, she's there to explain something's, and also find out something's about herself too. Yeah, we'll see more from them in the future! Eventually, Sona realized that she just can't push so hard, even if it took Millicas and Makoto both to tell her such things, he was going forward now together with Sona...well, at least until the stuff with Asia came about. Well, it could be, though don't forget what Makoto thought about the matter. Millicas, and Makoto are pretty cute together. Eeh, it can be whatever anime you want, it didn't really matter which one. Yup, indeed it did! Akeno's teaching him something's about demonic power, and helping him with new ideas for his Sacred Gear too. With that issue, Rias did that anyway, and he could always just have another member of his harem do that anyway, the story wouldn't change if Akeno didn't do that for Ise, Rias already did such things. He was prepared to fight at least, but still Freed had the battle advantage, and used dirty tricks like trying to shoot Asia to win, something Makoto wouldn't do, so a battle of morals as well as a phyiscal battle went on between the two of them. Hmmm, it could be, we'll have to wait, and see what that was, won't we? Sona came to the rescue...only for Makoto to run out of there again with Asia, protecting her. Well, we'll have to wait and see who her parents are, huh~? By the second arc, it shall become quite clear who her parents are. Yeah, she'll be reappearing by chapter 10, and staying for the Riser arc. And thanks, indeed~ Leaving on a note like that, keeps people coming back~

ShadeAkami; Yup, a new chapter~! Hehe, I'm happy with anything honestly~ Yeah, they all got closer to Makoto in their own ways, Yumi and Millicas helping him, with Lucy bonding with Makoto about their pasts, a little bit anyway~ Hehe, Akeno and Makoto will have more moments in the future. Not many during the first arc, but soon they'll bond closer, and closer. Well, he kinda got chewed out, but Makoto countered her with some good knowledge, facts, and even Millicas got in their to defend his rights, as a basic person at that point. I know, he's the kind of person you can't help but hate huh. He's a very disgusting person. Yeah, he ran away with Asia! Well, we might know it, remember what Makoto thought about it last chapter...we'll have to wait, and see, huh. Kalawarner and Makoto officially met one another, without the fights or anything. Kalawarner is thinking of worst case scenario, and the reasons why she thought that bad, will be revealed quite soon. And thanks very much!

Allan Von'Skoon; Aah, thanks as always~! A little bit was revealed yeah, they've been friends for quite a while now. Ooh, let's see if you do, the answer on who, or what she is, might surprise you very much, or it might not. We'll have to wait, and see if it does or not. He does have support in different ways, he's got quite a few people supporting him. I guess she could be a little bit of a pervert, but who isn't a pervert, besides like, maybe Asia, but even then she can show a naughty side once in a while. Aah, they'll kiss soon, don't worry about something like that. Kalawarner is kind of hard to spell when trying to spell her name at the beginning, but I'm kinda used to it by now, so I can spell it quite well. You're right there, Makoto knows that she isn't trying to kill him anymore, but he still has reservations about such things, he isn't stupid enough to completely trust her. It could seem like that between Makoto and Sona, but now at least they have begun talking and aren't so much butting heads...until the stuff with Asia came up, and yeah they aren't exactly seeing eye to eye at this point. And right, even Sona mentioned something about Makoto being a good Queen for her elder sister, not wanting a dud for a Queen, and wanting him to succeed. Millicas is quite adorable, isn't she? She can be very adorable when she needs to be. Oh, it might be something else, or it could just be me having a little fun. Either way, we'll find out sooner or later what it really is, and what it really can do too. Akeno is gonna have fun teasing Makoto, she already did start her little fun stuff with him, so it can only grow from there, right? It does show such things, it also shows Makoto using some of his mind, more on that when the fights come in the future. I'm glad that you liked it, obviously Asia would want to heal Makoto, so I just had her do that, since he was basically defending her with his body, taking a lot of damage. Glad that I was able to surprise you, hope I can do the same thing in the future. Well, we'll have to see where I am going with this~ It is gonna be getting interesting~

ShadowUzumaki55; Yup, she has seen the error of her ways, and wants to work with Makoto now...let's see how that turns out. Yeah, you're right there, Millicas has been helping him tremendously during all of this, she's really been a great help for him. Good, glad that you liked the bonding! No, Kalawarner wasn't captured. Sona said she couldn't capture Kalawarner, since she doesn't know if she is working with Azazel at this point, not wanting to cause a war or anything, and since she technically wasn't attacking Makoto, she wouldn't be able to do something like that. If she did, Makoto more than likely would be more pissed off at her. He's gonna be gaining his own style of fighting in the future yeah~ It's going to be fun to discover what is what huh. He's run away with Asia, let's see what's gonna happen from now on?

Primevere; Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it!

Anime PJ; Yeah! She's seen the error of her ways, all it took was a conversation, and a few off screen words between her, and Millicas, and heck, maybe even Yumi said something, we'll have to wait, and see if she did or not. If he did, he'd surely be going through quite a few of them, and only on the first arc too, can't have him breaking down that quickly. Akeno is awesome though~ No one can deny something like that~ More Kalawarner and Makoto bonding will come in the future~ It is going to be, quite something when they truly start getting closer. He really is quite nuts huh. Aah, don't mess with Shota-fury, or he's gonna come for you, especially if put in front of a blonde, seems to be his thing huh. Aah, here's next time! Enjoy!

Justin D; Thanks very much! Hmmmm, we'll have to wait, and see what happens to them. Let's say it isn't going to be an easy road for them though. They very well could be, or poor Makoto is on the verge of a mental breakdown or something like that. There's always a mystery that it could be something else, even Makoto thought that it wasn't quite right. He will have a sword and yeah, that sounds cool. I wouldn't know if he/she does have that or not in their story, haven't had chance to read it fully yet, read bits and pieces when I can, so yeah. It's a cool idea anyway~ He isn't going to back down, and just bow his head like kinda Ise did somewhat in canon once mentioning a harem. Since Makoto can't be won with such things, he's a trickier person to deal with I suppose. Kalawarner at least was honest with him, she didn't have to be, but she was, and now they can build a better relationship with one another one. They are going to have some good moments between them, heartfelt, sexual, and just funny too. I suppose I could do yeah, I'd have to go back and rewatch them. God yeah, Ise surely wouldn't be happy to find out about it, huh~?

UsagiAngelRabbit; Aah, thank you very much! I'm happy that you're enjoying it!

Vizard Issei; Thanks very much! He will indeed, after everything that went down with Sona. They are indeed, and don't worry, it is a hard name to spell at first, but it does get easier the more you spell it. I can't wait to get to the big Akeno bonding moments, it is going to be fun to do. That's Makoto for you, he doesn't want anyone to get hurt, especially someone as innocent as Asia is. We'll have to wait and see about those things huh~?

Guest 1; It surely is going to be quite something how it turns out!

Skull Flame; Well, I won't spoil it right now, but something is gonna go down. We'll soon wait, and see huh~ She was, expecting something on, Grayfia level, something that no new Devil should be able to do, at least when they didn't know of the supernatural world before, but she can see now that she can't act like that with him, and is gonna move forward...somewhat anyway. Well, maybe there is something more to it...we'll have to wait, and see~ He's going to get what's coming to him alright, it is gonna be fun to see him in the future get...what's coming to him. It would be pretty funny if one of them said that huh~ And thank you!

Naroku; Okay, cool~ Thanks, and well, I can't really say anything about that, to each their own I guess, though you haven't seen what it fully can do yet so...yeah. He won't need a Longinus Sacred Gear, with the abilities he's going to gain, he's never gonna be behind Ise or anything like that. Hmmm, well the only time I can think of that actually happening would be volume three or something, since the rest of this volume, he'll be pretty much with Asia, next, he'll be with Serafall, and vol three is when he is going to be without Serafall, though Asia still will be around, unless it is a wound, maybe a mental wound or something that Asia can't heal. That's the only way I can see that going about. Eh, we'll have to wait, and see what happens to her. Well, she could be or she could be something else entirely. Why she is in Ise's harem huh. Well, there are different reasons, and they'll be shown as the chapters go on. The people I ship Ise with realistically, is well, Rias, Yura, Xenovia, and I guess Irina, though if she wasn't his childhood friend, I just can't see why she'd be interested, and a few others. People I can't really see is Asia, even though she's in canon harem, they just don't really click with me, the same goes with Koneko. Akeno...well, she's kind of in the middle. And thanks!

TheUnknownUser2; Thank you! Thanks, it will still be developed as the story goes on. Tsubaki huh, thanks for the suggestion!

Tohka123; Aah, thank you very much! For the time being they do yeah, and I can see them...well, we'll have to wait, and see what happens between them huh. Well, living with Ise for as long as Makoto has is gonna affect him, you know? It's only a matter of time before they do something cute together...huh. That relationship will become something more as we get into the story, you know? Sona is upset, but as you said, Makoto just had enough of it, and couldn't just stand back and just keep his mouth shut, he isn't like that at all. With Millicas there to back him up, he's not going to be just sidelined and all that stuff. I suppose in a way, even if subconsciously, she actually does want something like that. Akeno and Makoto will surely be bonding together quite soon~ I suppose thanks to the intense training, at least somewhat, it allowed him to actually put up a somewhat decent fight against his enemy Freed. They surely are, let's see how they do huh? And thanks, I will try my best!

Blade of Takeda; Thank you! Yeah, I am thinking about it! Well, Makoto certainly has doubts, we'll have to wait, and see huh~

Albin-san; That would be quite cool, but would that have the powers of normal Excalibur (from this series) too? And those are some cool suggestions~

Guest 2; Cool, thanks for the vote!

Neonlight01; For the moment that does seem to be the case, doesn't it? Exactly, Millicas set her straight, Makoto can't do everything that Sona expects, no matter how much she expects from him, he's still a young boy after all, and only recently turned Devil, you can't expect him to be at Grayfia level already with professionalism, and such. Ooh yeah, if Makoto sees such things, or it is happening to himself, he will speak his mind, even if their are consequences, though he does know the difference of when he truly does need to keep his mouth shut, at least most of the time he does anyway. Aah, they've been bonding quite well, we'll be seeing more of that in the future! With Akeno too!

Guest 3; I have done, and yeah, I don't see why not. Hehe, that would be pretty cute, I cannot deny something like that.

Cf96; Thank you!

liselotte; Thank you! Cool suggestion~

Well, with those reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!


She's my friend!

"Makoto-san! Wait, where are we going!?"

Running through the night, was Makoto, and Asia trailing behind him.

Because she was a human, she couldn't run as fast as Makoto, but she didn't seem to be much lagging behind him either. The reason why Makoto wasn't running as fast as he could? It's because Makoto still had the light through his body which weakened him. But, that didn't matter to him right now, since he had to save Asia.

"W-We're going…erm, we'll go to my home, and then go from there, okay? I'm suddenly dragging you along like this, but I don't want you to get hurt again, Asia-san. That man…and the Fallen Angels could be, very dangerous. Don't worry, I will protect you."

He declared it as they turned a corner.

He had to wonder if Sona and the others got away safely. But, they were Devils, and had new and different types of power. Makoto was sure that they would be fine. Sona was a King too, and had power over water, from what he could see, and Tsubaki was the Queen. He was sure that she would have good powers too. And Tsubasa and Momo were there to back them up, Makoto was sure that they would be alright.

But, right now Asia was his priority. Unlike them, Asia couldn't fight for herself, that's what he believed, and he wouldn't allow her to get hurt again, or more rather, in the first place.

"Makoto-san, are we going to be safe now?"

That question…Makoto didn't know how to answer.

Where they going to be safe now?

He didn't know that.

All he knew was what his heart was telling him, and expressed it as they ran together.

"Don't worry Asia-san, I will protect you."

It didn't answer her question, but it relieved her all the same.

Something about his voice was inviting. Asia felt being drawn in, and while Makoto was a Devil, he was protecting her. While the Fallen Angels were the ones that were attempting to take her away, and she didn't want to go with them.

If she had to choose, she chose to stand with Makoto, over the Fallen Angels. Because, he treats her kindly, and doesn't do anything weird with her. He even stood before her, and defended her from getting shot, and had to commend him on his tolerance to pain.

His body, in her mind, must be screaming at him right now. She healed the wounds, but light was still poisonous, and it must have been screaming at him to stop. But, he wasn't stopping and Asia found herself moved by his strength to protect her like he was.

As they ran, suddenly, Makoto sensed danger from up above, and quickly darted his eyes upwards.

What he saw up there, was Ise's date…Yuuma.

He remembered her face quite well, but now she was dressed in clothes that could be best described as S and M clothing. Much of her body could be seen, and it made Makoto nervous when he saw a spear of pink light in her hand.

"Yo, Otouto-chan. It's been a little while."

Asia gasped as she didn't notice the girl up there.

Turning her eyes upwards, Asia's eyes widened in pure shock.

"Raynare-sama…"

Makoto heard what Asia mumbled to herself, and it clicked within his mind.

He remembered what Kalawarner had told him, that Raynare was the real name of Yuuma. She was the person who killed his brother, and he felt it…he felt his anger increasing. The person that murdered his brother was right above him.

"Oh, it's you, Raynare."

Raynare's eyes sharpened as she flew down, standing before him.

Makoto pushed Asia behind him, as she giggled disgustingly to herself.

"Well, seems like you've figured out what my name is. So, what happened? How did you find out my name anyway?"

"None of your business." He didn't reveal anything about Kalawarner, and just glared. "Now, what do you want exactly?"

Raynare tapped her spear on the ground, which ruptured it slightly. Makoto winced at that, but he didn't back down, and just kept his glare on the girl before him.

"Well, you've taken my precious Asia-chan away from me. You know, that's not a good thing. So, if you'd just give her, and yourself up, then that would be fine with me too? I mean, I heard that you had an interesting Sacred Gear too. I wonder what Azazel-sama would do if he found out that I did this to you, fufufu~ It does get the mind racing."

Raynare seemed to be enjoying herself, and was even dancing.

Asia showed her apprehension, her nervous fingers grabbing the back of Makoto's shirt.

He briefly looked at her, and saw how frightened she was.

Immediately, Makoto made up his mind, and glared towards Raynare.

"You're not having her, or me. If you want to try, then I don't mind giving you a smack down."

"My, confident, aren't you? What happened to shy Otouto-chan anyway? Remember when we first met, how you were so adorably cute that I wanted to kill you before your Onii-sama? Hehehe, you really didn't trust me, did you?"

"I always thought something was off about you."

"Oh, maybe you should've gone with your instincts."

"Next time, definitely."

Raynare cocked a fake smile on her face, Makoto doing the same thing.

"Good, trusting your instincts would've saved your Onii-sama, probably. I dunno, it could've done something good, couldn't it? I don't mind if something like that happened. Well, either way, you did fail your Onii-sama, and allowed his death. But, isn't it also the Onii-sama that is supposed to protect the Otouto? Well, I wonder what would've happened between the two of you, huh~?"

Her words, Makoto didn't like them.

He just glad to glare right at the being before him.

Makoto, wasn't going to back down. He couldn't back down, he had to keep Asia safe.

"Your little mind games won't work with me, Raynare. I do not care that you think you're right. Onii-chan does protect me, and I might've failed him, but I will kill you. You've hurt my Onii-chan more than you think you bitch. Don't think you're going to get away with that. More over, you're attempting to hurt Asia-san too! That's not allowed in my book! So, get lost already and suffer for all eternity for what you've done!"

Makoto rushed forward as he activated his Sacred Gear, the bird appearing on his shoulder as he jumped forward.

Though he did feel exhausted, he couldn't run away from her. He simply wouldn't be able to get away from her, he wouldn't be able to do something like that.

"Hahahahaha! What's this exactly!? Shota vs Onee-sama types!?"

Raynare easily dodged the punches he gave, and slashed with her light spear.

Makoto pulled away but received a cut to his cheek, and at the same time, Raynare received a cut on her cheek from the icicle that the bird released. The amount of light she had, wasn't bad, it was strong, and he felt the effects of her light right away. He saw double vision for a few seconds, before Raynare appeared before him, and went to stab at him.

"Makoto-san!"

Makoto snapped back to his senses just in time to see her attempting to stab him.

Makoto knew he couldn't move out of the way in time, so made a quick decision and allowed the spear to enter him from his shoulder, going right through his shoulder, Makoto howling in pain, and threw up blood.

"D-Damn you bitch…"

Raynare's eyes went into a state of ecstasy as Makoto tightened his hand tightly, his aura flowing around his bird. It was increasing, the aura around the bird was increasing as Makoto grabbed the spear of light embedded into his shoulder, his hand sizzling.

"Wow, you've got a good resolve sweetie pie~ Are you going to die from this? I don't mind if you do die or anything else like that. I mean, it wouldn't be so bad, would it? If something happened to you, then I wouldn't mind that, would you mind that? Hahahahaha!"

Raynare once again laughed as Asia looked on with fear.

She wanted it to stop.

She couldn't stand seeing Makoto in such a state.

But Makoto then smirked at Raynare, blood coming out of his mouth.

"Don't come near me!"

He gathered his aura the best that he could, and thrusted it right for Raynare's chest, the bird releasing a very strong condensed ball of ice that could even break bones if it had too.

"S-Shit!"

Because she knew about his Sacred Gear, and what it could do, she went to pull away, but found she was unable to move.

She looked for the reason, and saw that Makoto was purposely holding the spear inside of his body, so he could directly hit her.

"Fuck!"

BANG!

Makoto's fist embedded into Raynare, and it caused Raynare to spew blood from her mouth from the strong impact she received. Makoto pooled his power into his attack, and it created the ice ball from the bird that ripped Raynare's top off, exposing her breasts, and left a bleeding wound on Raynare's chest, the shattering off the ice also bombarding her at the same time too. She was even bleeding quite profusely. but so was Makoto.

Raynare's body went flying backwards, and hit a pole, breaking it apart with her body.

"Gwaaah!"

Makoto threw up blood immediately as he threw the spear out of him, which broke apart as it hit the ground.

Because of the light, he couldn't do anything else, and dropped to the ground, falling flat on his face. Blood poured out of his mouth, and he felt wrecked, but he didn't want to give up. Though his body wasn't listening to him right now.

"Makoto-san! Makoto-san!"

Asia panicked and rushed to his side.

Seeing his wounds, she activated her power to heal while carefully looking at the dazed Raynare.

She looked shocked, and discombobulated at the attack she received. Raising a hand to her chest, she felt the impact of the ice on her skin, and the blood pouring out of her. Her breasts, she cupped them, and saw how they were exposed to the world.

She was stunned…

She didn't think that Makoto would actually be able to hit her like that.

But he did.

He managed to hit her so harshly, and even managed to blow her away from him, and give her a substantial wound too. But Makoto was wounded too, more than she was. So, receiving a wound like she did, she didn't care about since Makoto was in worse shape than she was.

"Hahahahahaha…"

Raynare laughed.

She stood up while displaying that disgusting laugh.

Asia flinched at the laugh, but didn't stop healing Makoto. She wouldn't stop healing Makoto with her power. She kept healing, as if she didn't, he'd probably die. Though the rate of her healing was slowed down due to the extensive wounds he had suffered.

Raynare clicked her fingers together, and summoned a new spear of light like it was nothing at all, though she was in pain from her chest aura. She felt the red substance still leaking from her body, as if it was going to fall out of her like rain from the heaven's themselves.

"Well, Asia-chan. It seems that your little boyfriend has lost. So, why don't you be a good girl and come with me now?"

Asia didn't want too, and just continued healing Makoto.

When not getting an answer from Asia, Raynare's eyes blazed with fury.

"Asia-chan, I will make it simple. You and your boyfriend there can come with me quietly, or I'll have to use force. Remember, I don't like using force Asia-chan, but you push me. You really do. If you don't come with me now, then I will torture Otouto-chan there, and stab him with many light spears."

"No, you can't!"

Asia defended as tears tugged at her eyes.

Raynare smirked at the tears as she strode closer.

"Well, I can't say that I am surprised that you're suddenly upset. But, that makes everything more delicious than ever. So, thank you for making this such a delicious time in my life, Asia-chan. I have been blessed with goodness from you Asia-chan. So, please come…"

"…No…"

Makoto's small voice came out of his mouth as he lifted his body slowly off the ground.

His entire body hurt, but he didn't stop regardless.

He wasn't going to stop, and went to stand up…but, he slipped on the ground, and fell back downwards. Pain erupted within his body and he gasped at the same time. Raynare found it amusing, while Asia began crying.

"Makoto-san, please don't…I will…"

Asia was willing to give herself up, just so Makoto wouldn't be in pain anymore.

But he stopped her as he struggled to his feet. He glared towards Raynare as she held bemusement on her face, Asia's eyes streaming with tears.

"Don't worry, you're not going anywhere…Asia-san. I said that I would protect you, and that's what I intend to do with you. I will keep you safe, don't worry about anything like that. This bitch before me, is just an enemy now. I don't have any qualms with killing her, since she is pure evil, aren't you, Raynare?"

"Hmmm? I could be pure evil, who fucking knows. But, I don't much care to be honest. I could be evil, and if I was, that would be good, wouldn't it? Well, you're both coming with me regardless. I didn't plan on this, but I'll also be taking your Sacred Gear. Both of yours."

Raynare raised the spear with a maniacal grin on her face, ready to strike down Makoto and Asia, but not kill them, only intending to inflict pain and torture.

"Get behind me Asia-san! I'll keep you safe!"

"Makoto-san, don't! Anymore, and you'll die!"

Makoto didn't pay any heed to her, and just kept his hands outstretched so she couldn't push her back.

"You're foolish Otouto-chan!"

"Then, I'll be foolish protecting an innocent girl. After all, men protect girls. That's what my Onii-chan always told me, and I won't allow that to be dropped now. I will be protecting Asia-san from you, you monster."

Raynare's eyes dyed with the colour of rage, and raised her spear upwards.

"Fucking die!"

Makoto closed his eyes, fully ready to accept the attack…but he didn't receive any attack.

He became confused.

He wasn't hurt.

Why wasn't he hurt?

He felt Asia's hands on his back, so she didn't take the attack.

But, if it wasn't Asia, then who was it that attacked him?

He didn't know who it was that attacked him, he didn't understand at all.

"W-What?! But why!?"

Makoto didn't understand it at all, so he opened his eyes to see a strange sight.

It was, the girl from the student council.

It was Tsubaki Shinra, who had come and saved him.

Her naginata was before him, the blade blocking her own striking attack. The blades exchanged one another before she pushed Raynare backwards, and stood in front of the weakened Makoto with her naginata right out in front of her.

"Don't worry Hyoudou-kun, I have your back."

"Shinra-senpai…"

Tsubaki turned her head backwards, and gained a slight smile.

"You are Serafall-sama's Queen, after all. We can't have you die now. So, why don't you run away with that girl behind you? Isn't that what you also wanted to do? Protect her? Isn't that what you wanted to do?"

Makoto was reluctant to leave Tsubaki alone with a Fallen Angel. Raynare herself glared and threw her light spear for Tsubaki, but she twirled her naginata around, and cut apart the spear of light, only for her to stop the spinning, and slash right, Raynare appearing there, and stopped the attack from reaching her body.

"Shinra-senpai…I can't just leave you to fight alone like this! I'll fight too!"

"Don't worry about me, the others will come soon. I contacted Kaichou once seeing the situation, and she told me that she'll be sending help straight away. Please just escape for now, and leave this Fallen Angel to me. You're in no condition to fight, allow me to deal with this now."

Once again, Makoto was reluctant…

But then he looked behind him, and saw Asia stood there.

He weighed up which would be better.

If he stayed and helped, he could've been a liability rather than a strength. As he was, he wasn't going to be able to fight and win. He barely could stand at this point. And if he did stay with Asia, she could be targeted too.

Pushing down his inner doubts, and fears, he turned his eyes away from Tsubaki, and took Asia's hand.

"Come on, let's go."

"O-Okay! B-But, are you sure that girl can…"

"I'll trust in Shinra-senpai this time. We have to go, we'll only get in the way if we stay here."

Asia nodded, and gathered themselves together, before Makoto limped away with Asia in tow.

While Tsubaki and Raynare were exchanging weapons, she saw Makoto running away with Asia, and couldn't stand it.

"No way! I won't allow it to happen! I can't have it happen! Get back here you fucking bastard!"

Raynare pushed Tsubaki backwards, causing her to stagger.

Then, the girl made an extra dense spear of light, and aimed it at Makoto.

"Die you Shota fucker!"

Before Tsubaki could do anything, Raynare threw the spear at the staggering Makoto, and Asia.

"Hyoudou-kun! Behind you!"

Tsubaki went to go and intercept it the best that she could, but Raynare appeared in the way, and yelled "Don't think so bitch!" and slashed at her with her sword of light. Tsubaki gritted her teeth as she blocked the attacks of Raynare and watched as Makoto and Asia were shocked by the incoming spear of light.

"Shit! Asia-san, get down!"

Makoto gently pushed Asia away and went to move from the spear, but it came too fast, and was going to pierce his body…

But then something suddenly happened.

A circle of defence appeared before him. A magical barrier appeared before him, and blocked the spear, breaking it apart. All of the people around didn't know what was going on, Makoto didn't make it, Asia didn't make it, Raynare certainly didn't make it, and neither did Tsubaki either.

"How did…"

"Please run away quickly!"

Makoto heard a voice…

For some reason, he felt like it was familiar to him. He didn't understand why that was, but he did recognize the voice. He, just couldn't place the voice either.

"B-But, who is it that's…"

"Erm, please run away before she tries anything else!"

Makoto looked around, but he couldn't see the person who had saved him.

Shaking his head, he thanked the voice within his heart, and took Asia's hands, running as fast as he could, though it was difficult for him to do something like that. But, he did manage to get away as Tsubaki fought off the girl that was a Fallen Angel.


Once Makoto appeared in front of his home, with Asia, it had been well over twenty minutes since the battle, and he was panting. He didn't know if he was going to die or not, but he felt very tired, and felt faint from what happened.

"Makoto-san, are you okay?"

She placed a hand on his back as he bent over, panting.

"I'm…I'm okay, don't worry about me…I'm alright, don't worry…"

Asia didn't believe him, and once again used her healing power on his remaining wounds.

"Makoto-san helped me, and this is the least that I can do. You saved me, so I will save you too."

Makoto sat on a nearby wall as Asia healed him.

Makoto's smile went towards her as his dizziness slowly broke away from him.

"Thank you, Asia-san, you've very kind to heal me. But, don't push yourself or anything, for me."

Asia shook her head as she continued healing him.

"Don't worry about something like that Makoto-san. I'm okay. Makoto-san pushed himself very far for me, so I will do the same for you too. Don't worry about anything Makoto-san, I will make sure that your wounds are all healed."

And that's what she did.

They sat together in silence as she healed him. her beautiful green light allowed his body to feel better. It felt like Asia's own presence, her kindness, and her loving warmth. He was drawn to her warmth, and soothing touch.

Once she was done, Makoto felt better.

While he still felt tired, he still continued and stood up together with her.

"Well, it seems like you've gained a budding relationship."

Makoto stopped, as did Asia.

Asia didn't know the voice, and hid behind Makoto. But the young boy knew what the voice was, and turned towards it, seeing Sona stood there, with an unimpressed frown on her face. For a few moments, Makoto didn't know what he was going to do. But then, he felt his courage being brought up higher, and higher.

"That's right, we are. Hey Kaichou-san, what's going on?"

Sona regarded Asia with a cool stare for a few moments, then cocked her head towards Makoto.

"You, ran off, with the enemy."

"Asia-san is not the enemy."

Makoto countered as he just blankly stared at her.

"Fine, she was associated with Fallen Angels. Hyoudou-kun, they'll stop at nothing to get her back. She is one of their own. A Devil, and a nun cannot associate with one another. It will upset the balance of the factions."

"So, I'm not allowed to talk with a nun because, she's a nun?"

Makoto thought it was stupid something like that.

He was smart enough to know that one push could break the camels back, and begin the fighting again. But, he was just a Low Class Devil, and as far as he was aware, she is just an ordinary nun girl. He didn't see why they couldn't be friends.

"I didn't mean it in a negative way, but speaking frankly, yes. That's how it is. Whether you want to say it is normal or not, is up to you. But, you're Onee-sama's Queen, Hyoudou-kun. If you do anything that could disgrace her, Onee-sama will also be looked down upon."

"I am not going to disgrace her, but I'm not going to leave someone in danger either."

Sona fixed her gaze on Makoto.

"I see, though you do realize that she is a nun, yes? Associating with her, could cause a war."

"Then, that would be my fault, wouldn't it?"

"Yes, that's why you shouldn't of gotten involved in the first place."

Makoto shook his head, and took a calming breath.

"I realize that behind your cold words, you're looking out for your Onee-sama, and I know that you don't even believe your own words either about associating with Asia-san. If that was the case, then you'd already have ordered Shinra-senpai for me to just run on my own, and leave Asia-san behind. I might be new to this Devils world, but I can understand behaviour patterns, and I understand how this world works, at least from what I know."

"Well, you do have the best grades in your year, and second best overall just behind myself, so I never doubted your intelligence. You're smart, Hyoudou-kun. You're on my level of intelligence, but you allow your feelings to cloud your better judgement."

"My feelings, I don't consider them a hindrance. I saved Asia-san tonight. Freed, that insane freak shot me full of holes. But, Asia-san healed me. She used her marvellous power to heal me, Sona-kaichou. If you're telling me that it is wrong to associate with Asia-san, then why did she heal me? If we're from different worlds, as you say, why is it that I can say that I wanted to protect her? My feelings, allow me to choose the best course of action. I, couldn't leave her behind. Asia-san was threatened to get raped, and probably killed too. I don't know about your dictionary, but in mine, rape and murder is very unacceptable, and I won't have it happen when I can do something about it. So, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go inside before something else happens. Come on Asia-san, let's get you fixed up."

"Erm…okay, Makoto-san."

Under the heavy atmosphere, Makoto went towards his house with Asia.

As he passed Sona, she had an emotionless face on.

But as soon as he passed, and went into his house, the corners of her mouth lifted upwards, into a genuine smile.

"He might be rash, and willing to take risks, but I cannot deny that he has a good heart. I think, Onee-sama chose a worthy Queen. At least his morals, are better than most I've ever had to witness before. And, he has a rare kindness that most only wish to obtain. I wonder, are you an Angel Hyoudou-kun? Because, you're unlike any Devil I've ever come across before."

Sona's lips continued to curl upwards as she walked away.

Her thoughts on Makoto's actions, she couldn't agree with it on the surface.

But, beneath her worries, she could agree with why he did what he did. Yes, on some level, she could understand why Makoto did as he did, and while she couldn't agree with it openly, she was glad that Makoto had such a kind side towards him, and was glad that he, did something amazing like help a girl from being assaulted sexually, even at the cost of his own welfare…she actually admired his courage.

Going from a shy and insecure human, to a Devil who readily saved someone with his own body being torn up in the process. She was happy with his progress, and could only smile at the thoughts of Makoto being as good as he was.


Once Makoto and Asia walked into his bedroom, being as quiet as they possibly could be without making much noise, they both saw something, very scary.

[My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard~ And they're like~ It's better than yours~ Damn right its better than yours~ I can teach, but I have to charge~]

What they saw was Princess, with the television on, with the song 'Milkshake' and she was dancing to it.

She was on her hind legs, and with her front paws behind her head, kept doing pelvic thrusts, with a dirty smile on her kitty lips.

Then she leaned against Makoto's bed, without realizing that he and Asia were looking at her, began shaking her butt up and down. To Makoto, it looked like she was…

"What in the hell…? I-Is she twerking…?"

Being baffled didn't begin to describe how Makoto was feeling right now.

He was shocked by what was happening right now, he didn't know what to do.

He rubbed his eyes that he had, and attempted to see if there was any possibility that he was seeing it wrong. But no, he was seeing that Princess was twerking.

Asia though put her hands together, and looked enamoured by what she was seeing, stars radiating from her eyes.

"I didn't know that your cat could dance so well. I'm jealous~"

"Yeah, neither did I…" He sweatdropped, and walked into the room fully, directing his question towards his cat. "Princess…what's going on? W-Why are you dancing like that…? I didn't know that you could do that…"

The cat stopped.

As soon as his voice reached her ears, she stopped, and looked towards Makoto slowly, with an expression as if she was caught in headlights.

"Nyaaa?"

Makoto walked over with hollow eyes and just bent down in front of her.

She then just watched as Makoto stared right at her. Princess looked very scared and was sweating profusely. Asia also came into the room, pushing the door closed, so no one else could see what was going on.

"THAT'S AMAZING! PRINCESSS! YOU CAN DANCE SO AMAZINGLY!" Makoto grasped Princess, and nuzzled against the cats face, rubbing cheeks together. "OOOH! I REALLY HAVE AN AMAZING KITTY CAT AFTER ALL! I LOVE YOU PRINCESSS!"

"Nyaaaaa~!"

Princess jumped to his shoulder, nuzzling against him sweetly. He allowed his head to nuzzle against her too.

He then turned towards Asia, and smiled.

"Tonight, you can sleep in the guest bedroom, and tomorrow, we'll go from there, okay?"

Asia nodded kindly.

"Are you sure it is okay? I mean, she looked angry before, that…erm, that girl outside."

"Yeah, she usually is. But, don't worry, even if I do get punished, I won't mind. Because, I was able to help you, Asia-san. Don't worry now, you're going to be okay. I promise you, Asia-san. I won't allow anything to hurt you."

"Makoto-san, you're being really kind to me…and I don't understand why."

"Is there a reason to be kind? Does anyone need a reason to be kind?"

Those words, surprisingly touched Asia in a way she didn't expect.

Did he need a reason to be kind?

Being kind for the sake of being kind.

Was that really something that happened in the world? Would a Devil really just say something like that without hesitation…?

Right before this, she wouldn't have known if it was a yes or no. But now, she could tell that she was wrong that Devils were all bad. Because, Makoto wasn't a bad Devil, and actually did help her, even jumping in front of attacks again and again for her, protecting her with his life.

"Makoto-san…thank you, for saving me. For, doing this for me, thank you very much."

"Don't worry about something like that. It wasn't anything special."

"But, it was, Makoto-san. You saved my life, thank you Makoto-san. I really mean it, Makoto-san. Thank you very much."

Asia said it while giving him a smile.

His face turned slightly pink at her kind smile, and felt a little worried on what she was going to do to him. His heart was beating faster, and his cheeks turned redder and redder. Just seeing her cute expressions on her face, and her kind disposition, it was something that he secretly really liked.

"N-No, don't worry about anything…I'll help you now. Whatever it takes, I'll help you now…you shouldn't have to go through something like that alone, and I won't allow you to be hurt. Call it a promise, between us, okay?"

"Y-Yes!"

Asia teared up, as Makoto just smiled towards her.


Rias, Yumi, Akeno, Koneko, and Millicas were sat in the Occult Research clubroom, waiting for Sona to come back. They where brought up to situation with what happened to Makoto, and had to find out what's going on with him.

"Ara, I wonder what's going to happen to the younger Hyoudou-kun now~?"

Though Akeno said it in a teasing manner, even she couldn't help feel slightly worried for him.

Yumi on the other hand just kept her hands together, and had a very worried expression on her face, she worried for Makoto, and hoped that nothing had happened to him. Millicas looked the same, and Koneko just had her usual expressions on her face.

"Well, Hyoudou-kun is pretty smart. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't know how to get out of these situations alone. Though, Sona will come soon, and explain what's going on with Hyoudou-kun. Her peerage has this."

Rias words didn't exactly set Yumi's heart to calm.

She was worried for Makoto, and what could happen to him.

She hated the fact that he kept getting attacked, when he didn't do anything. He didn't deserve any of this, and now, he was basically always being attacked for no reason, Yumi didn't see it as fair, and wanted to go and help him.

Seeing her peerage members inner troubles, Rias released a breath.

"Yumi, don't worry. Hyoudou-kun is going to be fine."

She said it in a reassuring manner, but Yumi didn't really pay attention, and just thought about Makoto being in trouble, and what could be happening to him.

"Makoto-san is quite smart though. He was telling me how to fight, and other things like that when he discovered his Sacred Gear, and all that. Even then, it seems that Sona-nee has also gone to save Hyoudou-kun too."

Rias looked towards Millicas, and saw that she had a worried expression on her face too.

Deciding to see what was going on, she took this time to stride over towards her.

"Say, Millicas. It seems like you've also developed an attachment to Hyoudou-kun lately. Is there something you're not telling me?"

Millicas' face turns slightly pink, but shakes her head.

"N-No, we have just been talking, is all. I, thought that he was nice is all. And, he also needed someone to help him too, since Sona-nee was being very unreasonable, and no one else could say anything, so I said it instead. He's really kind, and is kind of cute too."

At her admission, Yumi had slightly jealous eyes.

"Millicas-sama, you think Makoto-kun is cute?"

"W-Well, he's just…I really like his eyes, they are nice…a-and he doesn't look bad either…"

She didn't want to reveal too much, and just twiddled her fingers together, Yumi couldn't help but feel slightly jealous, and wondered what was going on with her right now. And what Makoto and she did together.

"I-I see…well, Makoto-kun is pretty nice."

Rias held bemusement on her face, tittering to herself.

"Seems like Millicas, and Yumi have affections for Hyoudou-kun. Well, it isn't Ise, so I can be happy for you."

"Ara, seems like Buchou is always so territorial. Good thing that Shota-kun isn't your peerage member, or Yumi might not have a chance. Even Millicas-sama might be worried too if you're going after Hyoudou-kun instead of Ise-kun."

Rias shook her head strongly.

"It isn't like that at all. I don't want to be with a Shota."

"Liar, you're a secret Shotacon~"

Akeno's teasing made Rias' face turn slightly red.

"E-Even if I was, Ise isn't a Shota, and that's the end of it! So, Ise isn't a Shota, and that's all, really. Hyoudou-kun might be a Shota, but I don't want to look at Hyoudou-kun like that, even if he does have the cutest littlest of smiles…either way, it doesn't matter! That's the end of it!"

Akeno rolled her eyes as did Millicas, and Koneko.

Yumi herself was still worried about Makoto.

"Buchou, may I request to go and see if Makoto-kun is…"

"Sona wouldn't allow anything to happen to him, Yumi." Rias assured kindly. "Don't worry, he'll be okay. But, you've opened your heart to this adorable Shota-kun, haven't you? Why is that, anyway? Why do you like Hyoudou-kun?"

Yumi stopped herself and just thought about it.

As she was, Rias sat down, and put a hand to her own lap.

"I like Makoto-kun because he understands different things. And I feel a certain…kinship with him. It's hard to understand and put into words, but I just feel like Makoto-kun and I can understand one another on a high level. Besides, he makes me feel better by just smiling."

Rias smiled at her Knight, as did Akeno. Koneko just gave her a little stare for a few seconds, then returned her eyes to the table. While Millicas on the other hand had a very small pout on her lips, and her cheeks were puffed outwards.

"By the way, are we telling Ise-kun about this?"

Rias gently held a reserved face.

"I don't think worrying Ise right now would be for the best. He'll only be worried for Hyoudou-kun, and we all know he is going to be okay."

"Are you sure that's wise? If it was my own Otouto then…"

Rias still shook her head with her reservations being high.

"Whether Ise shows it or not, he does indeed care about his Otouto. If he found out that he was in danger, he'd make very reckless movements, and could get hurt as a result. I think this time, it would be better if he is kept out of the loop in this."

While Akeno wasn't sure if she agreed or not, she just inclines her head at Rias.

The group wait around for Sona to return, and five minutes later, Sona herself walks through the doors without knocking.

"Kaichou! Erm, Kaichou, how is Makoto-kun?"

Yumi was the first to ask hastily, as Sona furrowed her eyebrows.

"Currently, he's safe at home. I just saw him enter his home myself, and now he is at home…"

"Sona? What are you not saying?"

Sensing like Sona wanted to say more, Rias inquired further.

"Yes…I'm saying that he isn't alone…"

"…Who is he with?"

Koneko asked, only for Sona to slowly sigh aloud.

"He's with a nun, I believe her name is Asia-san."

Koneko recognized the name from the time Makoto told her about it, and looked slightly worried.

"A nun? He's with a nun? And you allowed this?"

Rias spoke in a manner that made it seem like she was against it.

Millicas raised her hand.

"Erm, is it that bad that he's with a nun? I mean, what happened Sona-nee?"

"Tsubaki also gave me the report. Hyoudou-kun was fighting off the Fallen Angel known as Raynare, the one that elder Hyoudou-san was dating." Rias frowned at that. "Apparently it seemed like he managed to injure her, but she got off a few good shots on him too. The nun, had the power to heal and did heal his wounds. He took the nun back to his own."

"Sona, that's dangerous."

Rias brought up, Sona nodding.

"It's also reckless to do something like that. But, he did make valid arguments. While I know that they are valid, I didn't know what to say, and allowed it for now. Even I was baffled on what to say. He was right, with what he said. He saved her life, and took her with him. From my understanding, it seems like the nun herself is quite innocent, and doesn't want to be associated with the Fallen Angels, especially what happened in that building that night. The corpse…well, it wasn't something a sane person would be able to do."

"S-So, Makoto-kun is okay with this…girl, yes? She isn't going to do, anything weird with him, is she?"

Yumi was worried, and contemplated going over to see what was going on herself.

Sona asked herself this same question, but gave her answer regardless.

"She doesn't seem dangerous. She doesn't seem to be able to fight on a level like Hyoudou-kun can fight. I do have to admire that about him though, he is quite smart with the ways he used his Sacred Gear, from what I had heard. Though it isn't a Longinus like we suspect that Hyoudou-sans is, in the hands of Hyoudou-kun, I don't think it needs to be."

"Well, he is second only to you in grades as a whole in the entire school, right Sona?"

Sona carefully nodded to the surprise of Millicas.

"Wow, I didn't know that. He's the second in the entire school, only behind you Sona-nee?"

"That's right." Sona revealed with a hint of a smile. "I had been wanting to talk with him sometimes, but opportunities didn't present themselves. I think that though it is natural intelligence coupled together with hard work. He's certainly an interesting young man."

Sona didn't know how else to say it, and held an expression that could be known as pleased.

"Well, I am glad that he's okay."

Yumi breathed out, Sona nodding in agreement.

"For now, I think it would be best if we head home."

Rias said as she walked towards the door.

She saw the glint in Yumi's eyes, and slowly strode towards her.

"Sorry Yumi, I think staying out of it for now would be the best."

"But Buchou, that's…"

"That nun, is still affiliated with the Fallen Angels, or even the Church. We can't attempt to start a war. This is Serafall-sama's servant after all, we cannot interfere more than we already have. I know it sounds cold, and quite bad of me, but for now, we have to stand out of the way, and allow Sona and her group to handle this until Serafall-sama comes back."

Yumi didn't like that idea, but she had to agree this time. Even if she didn't like it, she did her best to agree with it, but Yumi didn't like it all the same. She wanted to go to Makoto's side, and hope that he was okay now.


During the night, as Makoto cuddled together with Princess, the cat raised her head, and looked at Makoto's tired expression.

Even in his sleep, he was restless, and even seemed to be in pain too, and how tired he was, was evident on his face. He even sweated during his sleep. His breathing was heavy, and laboured. His body felt stiff too.

She couldn't stand something like that, and did something.

"Nyaaaa~"

She went over to the boys face, and nuzzled against him with her face.

As she did, a strange glow came from her, surrounding her form like an ocean around a rock, dazzlingly beautiful, and transferred into Makoto.

As it did, his restless expression turned into a sweet smile, finally able to relax.


The next morning, Makoto woke up, and stretched his body.

He thought that he was going to be in pain, but he was surprised when he didn't feel anything wrong with him. He thought that he was going to be in pain…but he wasn't. He didn't even feel tired either. He, just didn't understand it.

"Nyaaaa~"

Makoto was alerted to the cat as she meowed. She jumped onto Makoto's chest, and nuzzled against him affectionately. Makoto allowed his hand to be raised and went to the back of her head, stroking her head gently, soothingly.

"Awww, don't worry about me Princess. I'm alright."

He allowed the cat to nuzzle his face, as he allowed a smile to appear on his face too.

He gave the kitten a head pat, and stroked her back. His fingers went down her back, and went towards her tail. Slowly, his fingers wrapped around the tail, and curled it. Makoto could hear the kitten purring against his ear.

As he played the kitten, he heard a knocking at his door.

[Erm…Makoto-san, this is your room, yes?]

...Immediately, Makoto knew what he wasn't remembering...

"Crap…"

He forgot about Asia for a few moments.

He didn't even remember that she was in the house.

Panic overcame him, sweat drenching his brow.

"Coming!"

Makoto jumped out of the bed, and rushed the door.

Swiftly opening it, he pulled the surprised Asia into the room, and closed the door again.

"Ahah! Asia-san! There you are! I didn't totally forget about you or anything! S-So, how did you sleep last night!?"

He chuckled nervously, leaving Asia to just stare at him.

Thankfully, Makoto was wearing clothes this time, having been dressed for bed, too tired to get undressed.

"I-I slept well, thank you very much Makoto-san! B-But erm…w-what are we going to do now? I was wondering because…erm, Raynare-sama is…well, Raynare-sama is just going to be out there, and I don't know if we can…"

"Say, wanna go out with me Asia-san?"

"G-Go out?"

Asia took it the wrong way, and her face heated up, vaguely remembering from someone that 'going out' was also used for 'dating' and she took it to mean that Makoto was asking her out on a date.

However, Makoto didn't notice, and continued regardless.

"Yes. Since school is out for you, we can go out into the town, and have fun all day. What do you think?"

"W-Well, I don't know Makoto-san, we hardly know one another…y-you would want to…g-go out with me?"

"Well, sure I would. Why would I not want to go out with you?"

Asia's face went through several shades of red, and only squealed out her answer.

Makoto found that to be absolutely adorable, and enjoyed seeing Asia's facial expressions.


"Hey, Kaa-chan. Where's Makoto anyway?"

At breakfast, Ise looked around, and couldn't see Makoto.

In fact, he hadn't seen Makoto for a few days, properly anyway. He saw him in passing, but hadn't had the chance to speak with him. However, during that time, he found out that his Sacred Gear had the ability to double power. Rias said that it was like that, so he was relieved that he was able to do something like that.

"He apparently had to go out early this morning, and is meeting a friend for breakfast. Uuu, I do hope that he is taking care of himself."

The worries of a Mother never truly went away, no matter how old the child got, and even if it is Makoto himself who was a responsible boy anyway.

"Don't worry Kaa-chan, Makoto is a good boy, and knows to keep away from strangers."

"True, that's true. But even then, he's been acting differently lately. And I got a phone call from the school saying he's missed a day at school…that's not like Makoto, Ise. That's more like you, to miss a day of school."

Ise had anime tears streaming down his face.

"So, I'm the failure son!?"

Mrs Hyoudou shook her head gently.

"Don't say such things, I'm just saying that Makoto doesn't do this. It's weird. Since that girl, he's been acting differently. I wonder, what's going on with him? Ise, you might know. Has something changed in his life?"

At that, Ise sweated profusely, and didn't know how to answer.

He just stared at his Mother from across the kitchen table for a few moments.

Then, he grabbed his bag, and shouted "I'M SORRY, I CAN'T HELP!" and rushed to the door, unable to help Makoto, while Mrs Hyoudou was left dazed by what was going on.

Ise ran towards the door, but stopped when he saw someone sat there…

He saw Princess sat at the door, just staring at him.

No emotions (if cats ever showed them) on her face, her eyes hazy. Ise's own eyes turned dark, and began to feel fear at the girls look which seemed like daggers.

"P-Princess…"

"Nyaaa…"

Almost as if she was teasing him, but not in a good way.

Ise always thought that she was threatening him.

This time, it did sound like she was threatening him. Though she just meowed, Ise felt like she said "I'll kill you!" in a ferocious voice. That alone made Ise back away from her, but then saw his shoes at the doorstep.

Putting a finger outwards, Ise pointed towards his shoes hesitantly.

"L-Look Princess, I'm going for my shoes. Try anything, and I will have to get physical with you, understand me?"

Princess just stared at him.

Forever, her eyes stared at him, and he felt, afraid of her.

He wasn't ashamed to admit that he was afraid of her, because even Rias was afraid of her, and she was a High Class Devil. He wasn't sure where Yumi, and Millicas stood with Princess as of yet, but he knew that Lucy was fine around the cat.

Ise hesitantly reached his hand for his shoes, while staring right at Princess.

Princess herself just stared right back at him, not moving.

But as he neared his shoes, Princess rose to her feet, and like lightning, flashed between him and his shoes. Ise pulled his hand away from her too fast, and accidentally hit himself with his hand. He winced, and glared at the cat who glared right back.

"W-Why do you hate me you stupid cat!? Seriously, you're evil personified! And I should know, because you've been tormenting me for over a year now! Why don't you run away!? I would be happy if you disappeared forever!"

"Nyaaaaaaaaa…"

She hissed at him as she showed her claws towards him.

Ise gritted his teeth, and put on a hateful expression.

"J-Just because you've fooled Makoto and Kaa-chan with your sweetness, which is all lies, it doesn't mean you have me fooled! I know what you are, evil girl! You're just evil! I know that you're evil! You're insane! You're mental little pussy cat! Now move, and allow me to have my shoes back, right now!"

Princess' eyes turned dark, and she bared her teeth, and claws.

"NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!"

The cat pounced at Ise who dodged to the side.

His arm hit the wall, and he winced.

But the cat then pounced again, but before she could actually do that, Mrs Hyoudou came out and saw Princess on the ground. She fell to the ground before Mrs Hyoudou could see her, and laid like she had been hit.

"Princess! What happened Princess?!"

Disregarding Ise, her own son, she picked up the cat, and held it tightly within her arms.

"Nyaaaa….nyaaaa….nyaaaa…"

As if transmitting her thoughts to her, Mrs Hyoudou took a stance against the baffled Ise.

"Ise, you've hurt Princess? Why would you do something like that?"

"I-I didn't do anything! She was keeping me from my shoes! She's pure evil Kaa-chan!"

Ise's Mother just shook her head in disappointment, and petted the young cats head softly.

"Don't worry Princess, I still love you."

Ise sighed dramatically, grabbed his shoes, and went towards the door.

He turned back towards his Mother once more to say something, but the cat just showed her claws.

Fear brought itself to Ise's attention within his mind, and he rushed out of the house while cowering in terror.

As he left, Mrs Hyoudou looked down at the cat, and stroked her head as she purred.

"Seems like Ise can't get a break, can he Princess? He won't even be nice to you who is the cutest kitty ever~"

"Nyaaaa~"

The cat meowed, and then purred as the Mother continued stroking the cats head.


"…Auu."

It's a strange sight. A Sister is getting confused in front of the register.

It is time for breakfast and Makoto took Asia to a fast food restaurant at the business district. Since he couldn't exactly introduce Asia to his parents, he decided to take her to a fast foods place, which he knew opened for early breakfast meals, and he quite liked them, and hoped that Asia did too.

It seems like Asia never came to this kind of place before, so she is having a hard time choosing her meal.

Makoto offered her help, but she said proudly, "It's fine, I will manage it somehow", so he has been watching her the whole time…

Thinking carefully, she can't speak Japanese.

People were becoming impatient behind him and Asia's eyes were becoming teary as a result, even if she didn't know what they were saying, just knowing that they were sending negative vibes towards her, so he shot them death glares.

Surprisingly, Makoto's death glares were very scary, and it ended up with the men and women behind him all shuffling backwards.

"Don't worry Asia-san, just take your time. They can wait for everything."

Asia nodded silently, and continued to stare at the man with a confused expression.

While he didn't like people suffering. This time, he found Asia's troubled expression to be adorable. Just the way she looked, and the way the employee also had a troubled expression, he couldn't find himself just staring at the pair with a large smile on his face.

"W-What would you like to order…?"

Even the employee doesn't know how to handle this situation.

Five minutes passed by, and Makoto couldn't take it anymore, he couldn't allow Asia to suffer like this anymore, so he saw a chance, and helped her.

"Sorry. She will have the same order as me."

"Okay."

The employee takes the order.

Asia on the other hand is shocked.

"Auu, I'm ashamed. I can't even buy a single hamburger by myself…"

"W-Well, first you need to get used to Japanese. Don't worry Asia-san, you can accept help with things like this."

They head towards the empty table as soon as they got their meals while Makoto encourages Asia who is feeling down.

While they are moving inside the restaurant, most of the male customers are looking at Asia. It's because she is a nun, but also because she's really cute. Well, any guy will look at her if they saw her. But Makoto didn't like it, and just stared at them scarily, which did cause them to back off slowly away from them.

They sat opposite each other, but Asia is taking a really good look at the hamburger and isn't eating it.

From the looks of it, she didn't know how to do it, and was awkward how she just stared at him with her mouth opened wide.

"Asia-san, you can eat this by taking the wrap off like this."

He showed her how to do it while smiling, and she gained an astonished reaction.

"T-There's actually a way to eat like that!? A-Amazing!"

With reckless abandon, Asia took a bite of the burger, and had teary eyes, and mumbled something like "This is so good!" but it came out like "Thish shooo goosh!" or something akin to that, which made the cuteness go into overdrive.

"…What a freaking cute reaction. You are seriously cute, Asia-san…that's one of the cutest things I've ever seen before in my life."

Powerful thoughts ran around his head as Asia ate the food, gaining some sauce by the corner of her mouth.

But, she wiped it away while looking embarrassed.

"You also eat the fries like this. Just pick them up, and shove them in your mouth like this!"

Makoto didn't hide the fact that he was eating like a pig. But, Asia didn't seem to mind, and actually, she looked mesmerized by what was going on. Probably because she hadn't ever done anything like that before.

"Oh my!"

"No, you also eat, Asia-san. Don't just watch me all day~ You've got to eat too~"

"Y-Yes."

She takes a small bite of the burger.

She starts eating it, and the way she eats it, actually brings her cuteness level to a new height.

"D-Delicious! These fries as you call them are very delicious!"

This girl is saying it while her eyes are shining. What does she normally eat? Makoto seemed to be a little shocked.

"You never ate a burger and fries before?"

"No. I have seen it often on television, but it's my first time eating it. I'm moved! It's delicious!"

"Oh. So what do you normally eat?"

He was intrigued. He had to admit that he didn't know much about how the Church worked. While he did believe in God, and he used to pray sometimes, he wasn't a true devote follower like someone he used to know, so he naturally wanted to know more about it.

"Mainly bread and soup. I also eat vegetable and pasta food."

"Such simple food."

That's what Makoto thought on the matter.

He then thought about if he had to go without foods like chicken, greasy foods, and other things like that. He didn't think that he would go without such foods, he'd probably die if he didn't have something like that.

Shaking his head, he smiled.

"Is that right? Then, enjoy it as much as you want. If you want more, I will definitely get you some, it isn't a problem."

"Yes. I will eat it with joy, thank you very much Makoto-san!"

Asia starts eating it deliciously.

Makoto watched her, and couldn't help but smile.

The way that she ate her food, she was just so…cute.

This cuteness compared to Yumi's level of cuteness. Even Millicas seemed so cute too like this when she wanted to be.

But Asia right now, just continued to eat, and Makoto looked on with a smile on his lips.

He couldn't stop smiling at her. Everything seemed new to her, and it looked interesting too.

However, a thought then came to his mind, and it was about the Fallen Angels.

He didn't remember if she ever said why she was with the Fallen Angels.

It just seemed to be insane that she was like that. Asia was a gentle soul, and for the most part, the Fallen Angels were vicious, and rude too. But Asia was different, she was a very kind person, and he didn't have a clue on reasons why she was with the Fallen Angels.

However, he made a decision, and decided to have a fun day together with Asia.

"Asia-san, can I ask something?"

"Y-Yes."

She said with some hesitation, but Makoto just offered her a gentle smile.

"Why don't we do something together, Asia-san?"

"Eh?"

She seemed confused, about what was going on, so Makoto just gained a wide smile.

"Let's go to the game centre, and have fun all day, okay!?"

Asia put on the biggest smile that she could do, nodding her head again and again.


"Uuuu, it seems like I wasn't able to do it that right…"

Asia and Makoto ended up going to a gaming centre, and walked all around it.

They did many different things together, and the latest one was Makoto himself watching Asia attempting to dance. But, her dress made it difficult for her to move her body like she wanted it to move, and she ended up getting a low score.

"Aah, don't worry so much Asia-san. It is very hard."

"Then, Makoto-san. Why don't you try? I-I think that Makoto-san would be able to do something like that, yes?"

Makoto scratched his cheek while blushing madly.

"It's kind of embarrassing for a guy to do something like that."

"Pleeeeeeeeeease Makoto-saaaaaaaaaaaaaaan~?"

Asia looked at him, putting her hand together, and gave Makoto a very cute puppy dog looking appearance. Makoto's face burned red, as did Asia's face too, but he couldn't fight her, and just got onto the dancing arcade game.

"Okay, then I will do it too! Though it is very embarrassing, I won't do anything else other than this right now!"

The song came on after he hit the device. His body moved quite like it didn't have a skeleton. His movements were fluid, and his body twisted and turned in ways Asia didn't know that she could actually believe.

"Makoto-san is good! You should do that move Princess-san was doing yesterday!"

Makoto shook his head strongly, not wanting to do that.

"I can't twerk! I can barely dance! Never mind anything else!"

"Hehehe, please Makoto-saaaaaaaaaan~!?"

Makoto didn't want to do it, he felt embarrassed about doing something like that.

He put his shameful hands to his equally shameful face, and stuck his butt out slightly, only wanting to appease Asia.

Going slowly, his butt moved up and down as Asia's face turns a cute pink colour.

"S-So that's…"

She couldn't find the words, but she was…definitely enthralled by the movement.

"Uuuuuuu! This is embarrassing! C-Can I stop now!?"

Asia didn't say anything, and just watched Makoto shake his butt up and down, almost like she was in a trance.


When the dance ended, his face was red, and they walked through the quite large crowd for a school day.

Makoto's eyes however caught the sight of one of his favourite anime characters on a poster, and couldn't help but stare at it intently, like he was in a trance this time.

Then as Makoto was looking at an anime poster on the side of a shop intently, he lost sight of Asia.

When he looked for her, he found her standing in front of the crane game. Slowly approaching, he saw that there was some stuffed animals in the crane game.

"What is it?"

"Hau! N-No… I-It's nothing."

When he asks her, she tries to hide it from Makoto.

But it was easy to see that she was lying about it.

"Is there something you want? You don't have to hide it from me."

When he looked inside the crane game there is a doll of Mew-chan inside from the popular game and anime Pokémon.

It's a cute mascot based on a…well, Makoto didn't know what it was based on, the actual creature itself that was, but it definitely was cute. Even Makoto couldn't deny that, the pink creature being something that Makoto loved too.

"Asia-san, do you like Mew-chan?"

Asking her softly, Asia's face turned a little red.

"Eh? N-No, t-that is…"

Asia's face gets even more red, and she nods her head shyly.

"Okay. I will get it for you!"

"Eh? B-But…!"

"It's okay, I will get it for you."

Strike while the iron is hot. he put the coin in immediately and started controlling the crane.

Even though he looked like this and did play the game sometimes, he wasn't that good at this.

Makoto couldn't do it right away.

On his first try he dropped the doll on a good location, and on his second try he totally missed.

On his third and fourth try he missed it as well, but when Asia became worried on his fifth try, Makoto finally managed to get it.

"Yeah!"

Makoto made a victory pose and took Mew-chan which just dropped out.

"That was amazing Makoto-san! That really was amazing!"

Makoto then gave it to Asia.

"Here you go, Asia-san."

Asia became so happy that she held the doll to her chest.

"Thank you very much, Makoto-san. I will take care of this doll."

"Hey hey, if a doll like that makes you happy, then I'll get you more next time. I'll get you anything something like that."

That's what he said to her, but she shook her head.

"No, this Mew-chan that you gave me represents the wonderful day I met you. Since today is the only day I spent with Makoto-san, I will take good care of this doll."

Her words makes him shy. But, when this girl says it, it actually seems natural.

"Okay! We haven't started yet! Asia-san, we will play for the whole day today! Follow me!"

"Y-Yes!"

Makoto took Asia's hand without even thinking about it, and went further into the game centre.


"Ah, we played a lot today."

"Y-Yes…I'm a bit tired…"

They are walking on the street while laughing. It was around 8 at night by now, and Makoto and Asia were out all day. He got phone calls, and messages from Ise, Yumi, Lucy, Koneko, and even Millicas somehow got his number, and he did answer them. But, spending time with Asia was more important than that.

While Asia was tired for most of it, Makoto also felt slightly fatigued, due to the amount of stuff they did. He wouldn't even be able to count what he did that day on one hand alone, and not on even two either.

It was fun for Makoto to see Asia's reaction when we went to the game centre and other shops.

Makoto, between getting attacked, molested, and other things too, he hadn't had a chance to just be normal. To just do normal things that he never had a chance to do before, it was well worth everything that was going on.

The date he had with Yumi, somehow helped him prepare for this date too. Weirdly, Makoto felt like it was a date. He didn't know why it felt like that, but it did. And oddly, Makoto was okay with that. Though he still really liked Yumi, he could see himself liking Asia too…

But there was the fact that she was from the Churches side, and he was a Devil.

It was a hurdle that they would have to overcome.

Makoto himself didn't know what he was going to do, he needed to find something's out.

He needed to know what was going on with Asia, and why she was with the Fallen Angels. If he knew that, then he could go forward. But, he had to know what was going on with her, and wanted to help her.

However, Makoto found a topic in his mind that he wanted to bring up, so they walked over to the nearby bench on his suggestion.

"You are amazing, Asia-san. Today was amazing. But the healing power, it's an incredible power. …This is a Sacred Gear, right?"

"Yes, it is."

Just like he thought, though she had a down expression, Makoto didn't know why.

"To tell you the truth, I also have a Sacred Gear. Though, it's not much like yours. You saw it yesterday, where can summon a bird of ice, and make it freeze things among other things like that. It seems like yours is more useful than my own one was."

Asia puts on a shocked face after hearing his confession.

"Makoto-san, you also have a Sacred Gear? So, that was what your power was. Makoto-sans power is very amazing, I do have to say that. Makoto-sans power was cool, it saved us from getting hurt yesterday."

"Hahaha, it's cool when you say something like that. Though I'm not very good at using it right now, and my fighting skills are quite abysmal. This Sacred Gear of yours can heal humans, animals, and also Devils like me, right?"

She put on a complicated expression, then a sad face.

Soon after, a single drop of tear falls from her eyes. Then, more tears starts flowing out from her eyes. She then got down and starts to cry.

"H-Hey, please don't cry! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry!"

Asia wiped under her eyes but she was crying even then.

"No... it's okay Makoto-san. Eerm, can I tell you something?"

"You can tell me anything you want. What is it that you want to tell me Asia-san?"

Then, she told him a story about the girl who was once called the "Holy Maiden".

In a certain region in Europe, there was a girl who was discarded by her parents. She was raised in a Church nearby by a nun along with other orphans. The girl who was a strong follower of the Church received a special power at the age of 8.

She healed a wounded puppy, and a person from the Catholic Church witnessed it by chance.

From there on, her life changed.

The girl was taken to the main Catholic Church and she was symbolized by many as a "Holy Maiden" because of her healing power. She used her power to heal many believers and they were told it was a power of divine protection. Rumors brought rumors and she was respected as a "Holy Maiden". Even without her approval.

She had no dissatisfaction for how she was treated. People from the Church were kind and she didn't hate healing people. She instead was happy that her power was of use. The girl was thankful to her power which was bestowed to her by God. But she was a bit lonely.

She didn't have any friends she could open up to. Everyone treated her nicely and was nice to her. But there were no one willing to become her friend. She understood why. She knew that they were looking at her power as something irregular.

They didn't look at her as a human but as a creature that could heal humans.

But one day, it changed. By coincidence, there was a Devil nearby and she healed it. A wounded Devil. The girl couldn't ignore it. She thought that even if it was a Devil, she had to heal it if it was injured. It was her kindness that made her take such an action.

But that changed her life forever. One of the people from the Church saw that incident and notified others of the Church. The ministers of the Church were shocked about it. They said "A power that can heal Devils!?" and "Something absurd like that cannot happen!" also they said "The power of healing can only heal the followers of God!" which were very hateful things towards this pure young girl.

Yes, there were several people who had the power to heal. But the power to heal the Devil was out of the question. The people of the Church thought it was common sense that the power of healing doesn't work on Fallen Angels and Devils.

Apparently, a similar incident had happened in the past. The power to heal Fallen Angels and Devils that were not protected by God. But that was feared as the power of a "Witch". So the people saw her as a heretic. "Damn witch that heals Devils!" they'd say about her.

The girl who was respected as a Holy Maiden was then feared as a "Witch" and the Catholic Church abandoned her. She didn't have anywhere to go and the organization of "Stray Exorcists" picked her up. In other words, she had to get divine protection from the Fallen Angels.

But the girl never forgot to pray to God. She also never forgot to thank God. Even so, the girl was abandoned. God didn't save her.

What shocked her the most was that there was not even a single person in the Church that was willing to defend her. There was no one who cared about her.

Even then, she held onto her faith.

She never forgot it for even a second. She was always praying to God. Even if no one gave her support, and she was treated with no friendship, the girl always continued to offer her smile, and did her best with everything that she did.

And this story, was about Asia herself, which moved Makoto to tears.

"…It's because I didn't pray enough. It's because I'm clumsy. I'm so stupid that I can't even eat a burger by myself."

Makoto felt a slight kinship with her.

In ways, Asia and Makoto had things in common.

She didn't know her parents, and he didn't know his either. Makoto remembered his own life, and how he always felt like an outsider too.

Makoto took Asia's hand, and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"You're not stupid, and that wasn't your fault. Because Asia-sans a kind girl, you did what you thought was right, and it was right. Don't ever let anyone say that you're not right. You're not a Witch, and now I understand…" Makoto recalled what happened when they first met, and how Asia was referred to as a Witch. "That's why you looked sad…but, Asia-san isn't a Witch. Don't ever think that you're a Witch."

Asia took in the words that he said, and appreciated them.

But the young nun put her hands together, and shyly looked towards the sky.

"This is also a trial that the lord gave me. Since I'm a clumsy nun, the lord gave me this trial. So I have to endure it."

She was laughing as if she was talking to herself.

"You don't have to say anything anymore…"

He reassured her the best that he could, he could see how it was hurting her, and now it made sense to him why everything that happened, happened.

"I'm sure I will make lots of friends one day. I have a dream. I want to go buy flowers with a friend, buying books and…talk…"

She is full of tears. She must have been enduring it the whole time. She has been waiting for God to save her the whole time and has been hiding her feelings all along.

With his heart, he didn't think that humans would do this to such a kind girl.

Asia was a very sweet person, and a loving girl.

But even she was treated badly and called a Witch, and heretic, she always smiled and did her best to wait for God to come and help her. She didn't know what else she was supposed to do, and Makoto couldn't stand seeing her face like that anymore.

While her feelings were getting lower, Makoto gently squeezed her hand again,

"Asia-san, I will become your friend. No, we are already friends. We've been friends since the first day that we met one another." Asia looks right at him, while looking puzzled. "I'm a D-Devil, but it's all right. I didn't want to accept that I was a Devil when first turning, I thought that my life was over, but because I was turned into a Devil, I got to meet the wonderful Asia-san."

"…Makoto-san…."

Asia's eyes had tears…

But this time they were tears of kindness, and joy too.

"Because of my death, I was reborn. I was scared, frightened. I thought that I was alone when I became a Devil. People said weird things to me and I didn't understand anything about it. But, you came to my side, and we became friends. We walked towards the Church that day, and we spent all today together. You came back to my home last night, and we had a sort of sleep over, didn't we? Though we didn't stay up gossiping or anything, we can do that if you like? Eeeh, I've never really done something like this before, but I will stay beside you forever."

Asia was shocked, and her face was turning more red by the second.

"…Is that a pact with a Devil?"

Makoto shook his head strongly, and held her hand even tighter than before.

"It's not, anything like that. We're friends now, Asia-san. We'll be friends forever and ever. Don't worry about anyone else, I will always stand beside you, and protect you. I, kinda am a little weird. I'm shy sometimes, and I feel insecure about things in my life too. But, I will do anything that you need to me to do. Going to a book store? I know several. Picking flowers? We'll make necklaces of them, and wear them with pride. I've got a great friend in Lucy-chan, she'll definitely get along with you. And Ise-nii. He's really a perverted boy, but he's a good person too. And Yumi-senpai is cool too. Millicas-san, I think she's my friend too, and she'll definitely become your friend. Uuh, Koneko-chan is also a good person too! Those people will all become your friends!"

He didn't know how it sounded, if it sounded normal at all he didn't know.

But Asia put her hand on her mouth, and once again starts to shed tears. Though, this time, her tears didn't seem sad.

"…Makoto-san. I have no common sense."

"Hehehe, don't worry about something like that. I haven't gotten much common sense either. But, I will definitely help you learn, and me too. We'll learn together, we'll gain more common sense together, wouldn't that be good~?"

Asia was slowly gaining more and more confidence. Makoto also seemed to be gaining such confidence too.

"…I can't speak Japanese. I also don't know about its culture."

"I will teach you Asia-san! I will even make you speak using a proverb. We'd be able to learn Japanese together. You know, it isn't that hard. We'll visit different places together, and learn many different things about the Japanese culture."

He reassured her calmly, and Makoto did the same thing, reassuring himself.

"I also don't know what to talk about with a friend."

Makoto held Asia's hand tightly.

"You talked to me normally for a whole day, and we even spoke normally yesterday too. That was fine. We were already talking like friends. I don't see why we wouldn't be able to talk together normally. We're able to speak like that."

Asia's face tinged pink as she thought about what she was going to say next.

"…Will you always be with me Makoto-san?"

"Yeah, of course I am going to be with you always Asia-san. We're friends now, and I never abandon a friend…"

He trailed off as he heard something within his mind crying out "Please don't!" which made him grip his head in pain.

"Makoto-san, what's wrong?"

Asia saw that he was holding his head in pain, and was concerned.

"N-No, it's nothing, don't worry. But, we're going to be friends, definitely Asia-san. I won't leave you alone-"


"It's impossible."

A voice which rejects all his thoughts.

When Makoto looked towards the direction of where the voice came from, he became speechless. That's because the person he is familiar with is standing there.

A slender girl with silky black hair. Amano Yuuma is standing there. Rather, the girl that is a Fallen Angel, that was named Raynare. The one that Makoto hated more than ever. He hated this person, because of what she did to Makoto's elder brother, and what she could've done to Asia.

"Ooh, great. So, it's Raynare, is it?"

She laughs of amusement when she hears Makoto's annoyed voice.

"Heh. You survived again. Gotta give it to ya Shota-chan. You're really resilient, you won't even die when you're supposed too. That Dohnaseek, he really doesn't do a good job. And that fuckwit Mittelt, she couldn't even kill you either. Fucking hell. When you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself, you know what I mean Shota-chan?"

Her voice isn't the cute voice of Yuuma, and she sounds more like that of a bewitching adult.

"…Raynare-sama…"

Asia calls her by that name.

Makoto wasn't sure why she added 'sama' to Raynare's name, he didn't think that she deserved something like that.

"Hmmmm, it seems that you aren't really good at your job either." He taunted as he slipped something to Asia. She looked confused so he mumbled "Hide it." to which she did hide it on her person, Makoto standing in front of her, so Raynare couldn't see it. "You're the leader of your little gang, is that right?"

"That's right. I am the leader yes."

"Well, that's grand. It seems that your group isn't worth that much though…is it? I mean, look at what you're doing here. If the leader has to move, does that mean your subordinates aren't that good? Though, I have to admit that I am glad it is you."

"Oh? Why's that? Got a thing for me?"

Makoto tightened his hand and walked forward.

"That's right, I've got something for you alright.…But first, what does a Fallen Angel like you want?"

She sneers when he said that to her.

"I don't want a filthy Low Class Devil like you talking to me." She stares at Makoto as if she is looking at something very disgusting. "That girl. Asia, is our personal belonging. Can I have her back? Asia, you know it's useless to run away?"

Asia made a face that she didn't want to go, and it made Makoto's eyes turn darker seeing Asia's such an expression on her face.

"…No. I don't want to return to that Church. I don't want to return to the people who kill other people. …Also, you people did things to me…"

Asia replies back with disgust.

"What did you do to her you scummy bitch!?"

Makoto yelled at Raynare, but Raynare wagged her finger.

"One second cute Otouto-chan." Makoto took in a deep breath as he clutched his hand tighter than ever, his aura flickering between his fingers. "Please don't say that, Asia. Your Sacred Gear is essential for our plan. So please come back with me. I also took the time to look for you. Stop being such a troublesome bitch!"

Raynare approaches them. Asia hides behind me. Her body is shaking with fear.

Makoto takes a step forward to protect her.

"Wait. Can't you see she doesn't want to? Raynare, what are you going to do with her after taking her back? Did you say that you were going to be doing something with her Sacred Gear? I heard that you wished to do something with me."

Raynare didn't look pleased at all. She seemed more pissed off that he was calling her name, than anything else.

"Low Class Devil, don't call me by my name. My name will get filthy. What's between us doesn't have anything to do with you. Though, I will be taking your Sacred Gear with me too. So, I won't have anything to worry about when taking your head. Though, I won't do anything like that."

Raynare gathers light in her hand. It forms the shape of a spear. The colour of the spear is pink, and it felt disgusting to Makoto himself.


From afar, Sona was nearby.

She knew something was going to happen with the nun, so she took it upon herself to keep a close eye on him, and she was right.

"Fallen Angels...I knew they'd do this...well, they shouldn't be a problem..."

Sona was about to move forward when suddenly, she felt something from the left.

Turning her attention, she saw a young man walking closer.

She couldn't discern any features herself other than he was a male due to the fact that he was wearing a mask of a Dragon, and a cloak. The mask itself looked to be that of a black Dragon, and Sona wasn't sure what this was supposed to be about, but she felt something abnormal from him.

"Ne, ne, could you be Sona Sitri?"

Guessing, or rather knowing her name, Sona tightened her eyes.

"Who might you be?"

While appearing calm, Sona was anything but.

The young man released a titter, as he opened his arms up, like he was begging to be attacked.

"Ah, I'm no one, at least no one important right now. But, you're not being very fair right now."

Once again, Sona was in suspicion, and didn't know what was going on.

"I don't understand, what do you want?"

"You're in no position to order me around little girl. But, don't worry, I won't hurt you much. I'll just have a little fun with you. Though, if you try and interrupt his fight, I definitely won't allow you to get involved with Makoto-sama's fight over there, so don't even bother trying to get involved, or I will have to become heavy handed."

Sona's eyes turned dark, as some water formed in her hand. It looked dense, strong, and she was willing to unleash it.

"I do not know who you are, but don't get in my way."

"Awww, you wanna fight? You can try but you won't be able to win~"

"We'll see about that!"

Usually calm, Sona didn't have that luxury this time, unleashing a blast of pure water towards the young man.

He, however just tittered and raised his hand.

Immediately, a black water appeared in his hand. Normal water wasn't like that, but his was, and as soon as Sona's attack touched the ominous water, it dissolved the attack out of existence, shocking Sona, but the young man just remained calm, and collected, a sinister laugh escaping his mouth.

"Hahahaha...seems like you want to fight then? Okay, shall we play?"

Sona didn't like it, but she didn't have a choice this time.


Back with Makoto, his rage had fully developed, and he couldn't hold back anymore.

"Fuck you bitch!"

Makoto summoned his bird to his shoulder, and ran his aura around the bird itself. It surrounded the bird, and went towards his/her mouth (Makoto didn't know what the gender the bird was) and then released a sizable spire of ice.

Tightening her expression, Raynare threw her spear right at the ice spire, and smashed against one another, cancelling the others attack out, coming to a stalemate from what he could see, and it didn't sound good.

"Hahahaha! That's pretty adorable!"

Raynare made another spear of light, and flew forward towards Makoto.

Makoto himself was about to fire off another spire of ice, but because he could, Raynare flew down at speeds he was even blindsided but not fully thanks to the training he received before.

Because of his natural enhanced abilities thanks to the Queen piece, and some training that he had, he managed to dodge to the side, only to summon his aura again, and thrust his hand forward but this time, ice was surrounding his fist as the bird opened its mouth, surrounding Makoto's fist with freezing power on its own instincts, surprising Makoto himself.

"Shit!"

Raynare placed her spear upwards in defensive mode, Makoto's fist hitting it. Though he heard it doing something weird, his power activated upon contact, freezing Raynare's spear, breaking it apart, but Makoto had other plans for her, and sent her other fist right for her chest which was surrounded by ice too.

"Bitch!"

Makoto's fist landed against Raynare's chest, and it felt like Raynare was hit with a boulder. Makoto poured his strength from the Rook power of his Queen piece into his fist, and slammed it against Raynare's body, causing her body to bleed.

"Aaaargh!"

Blood came from Raynare's chest, as she was flung backwards.

But she regained her composure before she could hit anything and summoned another spear of light.

"That's it little-"

"Take this!"

However, a ball of ice from Makoto's bird was flung right at her, and against her chest, forcing her body downwards, and she hit the tree that she was near, breaking it apart and landed on the other side of the tree, making her howl in pain.

"You fucking piece of trash! You seriously injure someone as sexy and lovely as me!? I'm your better! I'm better than you Shota! I won't have something like you beat me! Go and kill yourself you fucking bastard! No, I'm going to kill you! I'm gonna take your Sacred Gear and have it for myself!"

"Shut your whore mouth cliché villain!"

Raynare's eyes danced with tears as he said that. She put a hand to her chest, and felt the moistness of the blood that was coming from her body. She hated to admit it, but Makoto actually managed to hurt her like he did.

"I-I am not cliché…"

"Ooh let's face it, you're the first boss of the main game. That's all you are, the easiest boss. I mean, if this was an anime, you'd be the first major villain of the arc, and you know what happens to them, right? You're gonna have to lose your life, sorry about that cliché villain."

Raynare's eyes drained to the colour of pure rage.

"DON'T FUCKING CALL ME A CLICHÉ VILLAIN! I DARE YOU! CALL ME IT AGAIN! GO ON! CALL ME A CLICHÉ VILLAIN YOU BASTARD! YOU FUCKING LITTLE SLUT! I DEFINITELY WILL BECOME ENRAGED IF YOU CALL ME A CLICHÉ VILLAIN AGAIN!"

Raynare was panting dramatically, sweat rolling down her face. Her eyes blazed with furies unknown to Makoto.

Makoto put on a smile and tightened his hands, staring into her eyes, making her eyes be laced with tears.

"Cliché villain."

The Fallen Angels eyes became heavy with feelings, and tears rolled down her face, making an extra large spear of light.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Raynare couldn't stand it and she rushed forward, swinging her spear around dangerously.

Makoto didn't stand there, and ran away, using his enhanced body to dodge the attacks. She was fast, faster than he thought. But Makoto concentrated on speed, and did his best to avoid everything that was happening right now!

"GET BACK HERE!"

She ordered as she swung from the left.

Makoto jumped high, avoiding the slash. But, she was coming towards him in the air. Makoto gritted his teeth, and kicked outwards. He couldn't channel his Sacred Gear through his feet yet, but she didn't know that, and kept a safe distance as he swung his feet outwards.

Somehow, he managed to land on the ground, only for Raynare to throw her spear at him, the bird flying off towards a different direction where Makoto saw that it was going towards the fountain, a plan flashing in his mind.

"Aah!"

He winced as he felt the spear slice his arm. It didn't penetrate him, but it did slice his arm, and it ran down with blood. Honestly, Makoto was wondering how he was surviving all of this by now, with all the blood he had lost recently.

"Awwww~ Did that poor baby get sliced up?"

Raynare had a dangerous glint in her eyes, but Makoto just glared right back at her.

"Awwww, did Onii-chan get revived as a Devil so your little plan didn't work and you're never going to get your Sacred Gear?"

Matching her sarcastic tone, Makoto punched a nearby bench by using his enhanced strength, and lifted them, throwing them right towards Raynare

Raynare jumped into the air to avoid the first one, catching Raynare's attention with the first bench. Raynare didn't see the second large piece of wood coming until it was too late, and it hit her in the leg, and knocked her off balance.

"Try this!"

Makoto saw his chance, and grabbed a piece of sharp metal that was made from the mostly wooden bench. Taking it in his hand, he threw it forward, and aimed for her chest. However, his throwing skills weren't the best, and it ended up stabbing her in the leg.

"Arck! You shit!"

Raynare gripped her leg in pain, attempting to stem the bleeding once removing the piece of metal. But it was pretty bad, however she didn't stop and summoned a spear of light. She swam down with her spear, using her wings to flutter as fast as she could.

"Ooh get lost Raynare! Leave me alone! Seriously, don't you have anything better to do!?"

Makoto begged as he jumped backwards, and then ran around like a headless chicken, thinking of a plan.

She didn't listen and just slashed at him again and again.

Somehow, his body managed to avoid getting the worst of it.

His body was cut, that was true, but, he also managed getting a direct attack. That was a saving mercy.

But he wasn't running around for nothing.

He was slowly working his way to the fountain over in a different direction.

He ran towards it, while making it less obvious that he was actually doing that.

Raynare was oblivious to it, she was in rage right now.

She wasn't going to stand for this, and just kept slashing at the boy from different directions.

Makoto himself just felt like crying at the slashes he did receive. It was only thanks to being the Queen that he was surviving right now. If he wasn't the Queen, he was sure that he would've died by now.

When making it to the fountain, Makoto jumped at it, and then saw his bird, nodding to himself, and pushed away from it, the bird positioning himself readily for the enemy.

"What are you doing, booooooooooooooooooy!"

Raynare flew at him, as Makoto jumped away, Raynare slashing against the fountain.

As she did, the bird appeared from the water, and released a large spire of ice. Because she didn't see it, Raynare received a stab wound to her shoulder. She howls in pain as the ice shattered, pushing her backwards.

"Aaaaaaah!"

He landed on the ground, only to jump into the air again as Raynare was flung backwards from the ice attack, hit with debris of the ice, and also wet from the water the ice melted into, making her cuts and other things sting from the freshness of the water.

"Just one hit bitch! I'm going to put my all into this attack! I am going to make you suffer for all eternity you bitch! Don't think that you're going to win against me now! This is it! My power, I am going to make sure that you can disappear always!"

Raynare, because she was staggered, watched as Makoto's fist tightened. The aura around his fist grew and grew with the bird supplying ice to his hand to give him more brunt force trauma to the enemy that was before him. Makoto was pouring his power into this attack. All of his power was being brought there, and he was going to slam it against the enemy.

"No fuck off! I'm better than you are!"

"Then fucking die stupid Fallen Angel!"

Raynare's dyed with the look of fear as tears escaped, not wanting to be hit by Makoto's attack, worried on what it was going to do to him…

STAB!

"Gwaaah!"

As his fist was going to hit Raynare, a sudden blue spear of light penetrated Makoto's stomach.

He was left reeling as he fell down to the ground. He placed his hand on the spear, and used his Sacred Gear, to cause it to freeze. Because Makoto himself was immune to the ice (he presumed because he was the wielder) he didn't injure himself further, and just broke apart the attack with the ice, though he wasn't in a good condition, even the bird disappeared with his attack on his person.

"Makoto-san! Makoto-san!"

Asia rushed forward, pass the dazed Raynare, and made it to Makoto.

Putting her hand to his stomach, her hand glowed, using her Sacred Gear.

From her glowing hand, the wound on Makoto's body became closed. Her healing aura was the best. He felt safe, and secure in the embrace of an Angel like Asia. Even if she wasn't an Angel, he was going to take her kindness as an Angel's kindness.

"Raynare, you're fucking useless, aren't you? I mean, what the fuck is this? You couldn't even beat your opponent on your own?"

The tone used was disgusting, and made shivers be sent down her spine, and Asia looked freaked. But Makoto's pained smile made her feel better than before, and she continued healing Makoto of his wounds.

"Dohnaseek, I wasn't going to lose. I was just caught by surprise."

"Seems like you were going to lose, and to a Devil that is a newbie too. That's fucking weak, pathetic, isn't it?"

Raynare's eyes glared at Dohnaseek, who was standing there with a dirty grin.

"I wasn't going to lose to anything! I am the leader here! This fucker was just being a bastard to me! He called me a cliché villain!"

Dohnaseek sweatdropped, and then flipped her off with his middle finger, Raynare's eyes watering.

"You are a cliché villain bitch."

"Fuck off!"

Like a defiant child, Raynare stuck her tongue out too far, and then she wagged it.

But then she remembered Asia was here, with Makoto, and turned towards her.

Asia, in a bout of courage, put her hands outwards, and stood there defensively.

"I won't allow you to hurt Makoto-san anymore!"

She said it strongly, Makoto attempting to pull himself off the floor.

"Asia-san, run away…while you can…run away…"

"I won't leave Makoto-san here alone!"

She said it, once again strongly, and defiantly shook her head.

Makoto pleaded with her again and again, but Asia didn't listen, and stayed in front of him with her arms outwards.

"Asia. If you don't want that Devil to be killed, come with me willingly. Your Sacred Gear is essential for our plan. Your power, the Twilight Healing, is a rare Sacred Gear, and is quite rare like this Shota's one too. Now, here's the deal, if you don't come along willingly, I will have to kill this boy right here and now."

Raynare gives a cruel order.

While Makoto wasn't fully healed, he saw both Dohnaseek and Raynare standing over them. One of them, he could've possibly handled, at least enough to get away. But, both of them, he couldn't fight both of them. Makoto knew that, and he wasn't going to be able to fight both of them, it simply wasn't something that he was going to be able to do.

"No, just take me, leave her alone."

Makoto said as he made it in front of her.

Dohnaseek walked forward, and then cruelly back handed Makoto across the face, sending him down to the ground.

"Makoto-san!"

Asia bent down and checked on him, but he just glared hatefully upwards as Dohnaseek and Raynare peered down at them. Sinister grins appeared on their faces, making Asia convulse in fear.


Once Makoto, and Asia were taken, the young man stopped engaging Sona in a battle.

She was worn, she barely could touch him, and she wasn't able to even get to them.

Frustration came over her, and she hated the enemy that was before her, she hated him.

She was scared that Makoto was going to die, and furthermore, she was scared that this strong being was stronger than she was, a High Class Devil. She wasn't known for her strength, but she never thought she'd lose without even being able to take care of the enemy that was before her, but also noticed that the young man didn't even kill her.

"Why...? Why are you aiding the Fallen Angels?"

Sona demanded answers, but the young man just waggled his finger.

"I'm not aiding those halfwits."

The young man spat out hatefully like he had something sour in his mouth.

Sona was confused.

"What are you talking about exactly? You stopped me from helping Hyoudou-kun, what would your objective be if you didn't want to do something like this?"

Sona didn't know what he was talking about, it didn't make sense to her at all.

"I said it has nothing to do with them, and if you want to rescue Makoto-sama, then please go ahead, and do so, I don't mind. Though, don't interfere with his battles, kay? I'll be watching over you, you stupid little bitch. No one, is going to interfere with his growing strength, he needs to be strong, and if you get in his way...I'll kill you."

The coldness of the words were only stopped even more when Sona clenched her teeth in frustration.

The young man then activated a circle on the ground, Sona recognizing it to be a transportation circle.

"Running away?"

"I wouldn't antagonize a stronger enemy, Lady Sitri. I thought that you were smarter than that. At least, I thought that it would be obvious that to fight an enemy, you'd have to make sure to not piss off ones that can kill you."

"...Then, what is your objective exactly? If you're not with the Fallen Angels, and you're not wanting to fight me, or have Hyoudou-kun killed, just what do you want?"

The young man didn't reveal anything and just laughed as he disappeared in a swirl of lights.

Sona...truly couldn't be more angry right now. She failed Serafall...no, she failed Makoto, she wasn't able to protect a student of Kuoh. Never mind him being a Devil.


"Aah! You fucking bitch!"

Makoto complained as he was chucked into a prison cell together with Asia. Though Asia was more pushed than thrown like Makoto since he was complaining, and fighting out. Raynare herself along with Kalawarner and Dohnaseek along with Mittelt all stood there before them.

Dohnaseek went into Makoto's clothes and took out his phone.

"Oh, by the way. No ringing for help now."

Dohnaseek cruelly threw the phone to the ground, and stomped on it, smashing it apart.

"Well, seems like you have brain cells inside of your skull. So, they haven't died then, huh. Lack of you know, intelligence can do that to you."

Makoto mocked as Dohnaseek materialized a spear of light to his neck. Makoto felt the spear poke his neck, drawing a thin line of blood that trickled down his neck.

"Watch your tongue, boy. I won't have any insolence from you this time. I really won't allow anything like you come for me like this."

Makoto didn't even dare gulp as he felt the light scratching his neck.

But then Dohnaseek removed the spear of light, and took steps backwards, but kept the spear of light upwards.

Bars of light appeared on the prison cell as Makoto rushed forward. He grabbed the bars in an attempt to break them with his strength, but before he could even hold onto them long enough, his hands burned too much, and he had to pull away.

"Aah, don't worry young Otouto-chan, these bars were specially created for you." Raynare explained dryly. "You see, we knew normal bars wouldn't hold you, due to your power. But these, Devils can't touch light, like these bars. So, you cannot hold onto it. Good thinking on our side, wasn't it?"

"Tch, whatever Raynare. You had a thought. Am I supposed to praise you for that? Even an idiot could've thought that up. Let's stop the boy that can freeze things on physical contact by making sure that he can't actually touch the thing he wants to freeze or with that freaky bird too. I hope you didn't hurt yourself with that thought. And maybe, you might be wrong, we'll have to wait and see if I can or not huh."

Raynare held a pissed off expression, and was going to say something, but Kalawarner pulled her backwards.

"Don't be foolish, if you try anything, then there's going to be trouble."

Raynare glared hatefully towards Kalawarner, brushing her hand off, and made a disgusted face.

"Don't touch me you scummy bitch. Don't forget your place."

Kalawarner looked down as Makoto stared strangely at the duo. Mittelt on the other hand just averted her eyes, and didn't know what to say.

"Come on, all of you. We've got to prepare for the Sacred Gear extraction."

"Extraction…? You're going to take our Sacred Gears!?"

Raynare answered Makoto's doubt while sneering.

"That's right. We're going to be stealing your Sacred Gear, and finally, I will be loved by Azazel-sama. He'll finally look at me, and love me too."

"So, your leader is the type to love his servants, who kill and steal what isn't theirs? Wow, sounds like a lovely leader."

It was obvious that he was being sarcastic, and Raynare just gained an enjoying smile.

"Don't you worry sweetheart, I'm going to love taking your Sacred Gear. Just because, you're Ise-kun's Otouto-chan. It is going to be so amazing, to see your Sacred Gear leave your body. I just can't imagine seeing your dying face, I might just orgasm."

Raynare's face turned redder, by the second, and Makoto looked disgusted.

"Wow, so I'm with a freaking nutcase. What's next sweetheart? Gonna show me some images of past kills or something? Or, are you just going to tell me your stupid dream of being a Fallen Angel that didn't really get her chances in life so you've turned to being a bitch and now want to take everyone's Sacred Gears, so you might actually get the chance of being a better Fallen Angel, never mind training or anything else because you're too great for that. I mean, that's dirty work, isn't it? Training yourself, proving yourself. No, you go right for the easy fix of your life, even if it means murdering innocents like myself, and Asia-san."

Raynare's eyes watered, and she turned towards the exit.

"Fuck you!"

Raynare ran out of the room as Dohnaseek, Kalawarner, and Mittelt thought "He's right on the money…" at the same time, Dohnaseek giving a sadistic sneer.

"Don't worry young man, you and your little Sister there will also be killed."

With a dirty laugh, Dohnaseek walked off, and Kalawarner with Mittelt stared into the cell.

Makoto caught their eyes, and had a mixture of displeasure, and sadness in his eyes. He thought that Kalawarner was a nice person and would help them…clearly, he was wrong. She didn't even make an attempt to do anything.

Both just looked at Makoto and Asia sadly, before walking off together, leaving them behind.

As soon as they were gone, Makoto turned to Asia, and had a sorrowful expression on their faces.

"I'm sorry Asia-san, I should've asked you to run away before. This is my fault, that we're in this situation. I didn't think that this would happen…and now we're in a cage huh…well, I can't say that I ever saw my life going like this…I'm sorry Asia-san, I didn't think that this would be like that…"

Asia shook her head, and took Makoto's hand tightly, holding it.

"Makoto-san is my friend, that's all I need to know. Makoto-sans taken many different attacks for me, and has defended me very strongly. You don't have to be sorry Makoto-san, I couldn't ask for a better friend."

Makoto's eyes watered as he hugged Asia.

"Don't worry, I will get us out of here. I promise, I will protect you with my life."

"Thank you, Makoto-san."

Asia hugged Makoto tightly, and they enjoyed the embrace they had.

Despite being captured together, Asia was grateful of everything Makoto had done for her, and the way he risked himself, again and again. She found it very admirable that he would always do this for her, and she still couldn't understand why he was doing what he was doing.

But then, Makoto remembered something, and looked Asia in the eyes.

"Asia-san, you've still got the thing that I gave you?"

"Y-Yes, here."

Asia went into her outfit, and then produced a certain something from her pocket.

"Thanks."

He took the item from her, and opened it up.

"What are you going to do with that, Makoto-san?"

Asia wasn't really familiar with modern technology, so she didn't know what it was, however Makoto gained a smile as he tapped on it.

"I'm gonna call for help, Asia-san. Usually, people only carry one phone, but I carry two just in cases of emergency. This is my spare phone, after all. You have to be prepared in situations such as these. I, didn't think that I would be using it in situations like this, but here we are. And, I knew they wouldn't suspect you of having a phone, that's why I gave it to you."

"That's very smart Makoto-san."

Makoto smiled at the praise, and dialled a number on the phone. Asia looked on as Makoto waited for the person to answer.


Meanwhile, as Makoto did that, Kalawarner and Mittelt met together privately.

"It isn't like I don't want to help, Kalawarner. But, Dohnaseek and Raynare together are tough bitches. We can't hope to fight them together, we'd lose. Busting them out, what are we supposed to do about that?"

Mittelt's frustration was understandable, and even Kalawarner was frustrated.

They both didn't want this to happen.

They never expected that they would do something like that. But now that they have, they didn't know what they were going to do.

"We can't just let them die. Moreover, I heard that there was an extremely strong Master over that boy. I don't know the full details yet, but I did hear that he was under a very strong Devil. Not Gremory or Sitri of this town. But someone else. And I don't know about you, but I don't want to know who that is, and moreover, incur their wrath."

"But, we can't say something like that either. I mean, what do you want us to do? Should we do something amazing together? Should we go and try and save them or something like that? I mean, we're going to die if something comes for us."

Kalawarner put a hand under her chin, and stroked it strongly.

"That's right, we've got to save them. No doubt, we've got to get on the side of the Devils, Mittelt."

"Y-You're kidding!"

Mittelt thought that she was lying about going to the Devils, or joking about it. But Kalawarner looked dead serious.

"We've got to do it, Mittelt. Or, we're going to be the ones who end up dying."

"Ooh crap, joining the Devils. What's next? Fucking one of them?"

Kalawarner put a hand to her mouth, looking so cute that it almost was criminal.

"I wouldn't say something like that~ But, I wouldn't say no to a cute Shota-kun coming onto me fufufufu~"

Mittelt rolled her eyes.

"I'll never understand you."

"The feeling is mutual you bitch."

The pair glanced at one another, and smirked.

They both knew what they had to do…they had to defy Raynare, and Dohnaseek. For what could be, the end of their lives.


End chapter!

So, the finale of this arc is coming soon! Makoto fought bravely for Asia, a few times, and was saved, once. He had an argument with Sona, over morals, and other things like that, and for that, Sona respects Makoto more as a person for standing up for what he believes in, even if she doesn't agree with him about it. But now, Makoto, and Asia have been captured, and are at the mercy of the Fallen Angels! And Sona was beaten by...well, we'll see in the future!

Also before anyone says about Makoto decision about taking Asia out when knowing about fallen angels think about his current situation and how Sona reacted to Asia and how she spoke to him and he couldnt ask Rias for help plus he doesnt have Serafall around either so he pretty much feels alone and wished to have a day before anything was going to happen. So yeah that's why Makoto did what he did, it will be shown more next chapter from Makoto himself.

Well, until next time, a new secret is going to be revealed! And it has to do with someone very close to Makoto too! So, look forward to that!
