Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

DocSlendy; I, suppose so~

hellspam; Thank you! I'm glad that you did like it! Makoto really was pushed way too far, after everything she personally did to him and his loved ones, and ending Asia's life...that was a no, no in his eyes, tipping him over the edge. Plus he had seen his brother being tortured too by Raynare, both mentally and physically. I suppose that it could be yeah, or something he only shows when his friends, loved ones, are suffering. I'd go with Chaotically Good, I think. Well, Lawfully Evil could be a good way to describe him too. It's like you read my mind! They'll be certainly..ahem, dressing up for the occasion. I could see it being like that actually, so I love it! Hehe, that would be quite funny to see actually~ Just imagine it happening makes me laugh out loud. Ooh, she'll be feeling a certain, something when she drinks from Makoto.

Harem Master123; Thanks! Yeah, I guess looking at it from that way, it is kinda sad, though she gets to pray later on, and that's good for her. Attacked by the hugging girls~ How scary~ Well, a certain question like that might go down, and the answer might be quite surprising for everyone around. If anything, she'd be gaining trauma from all of this~ But that would be funny regardless~ And cool suggestions~!

Allan Von'Skoon; I do indeed! Well, the reason for that was because on that day, I was actually sent to hospital, and was there until the morning of Tuesday, so that's why nothing was posted. Fortunately, I had done last weeks chapter just before I fell truly ill. Did it? Ah well, I wanted Makoto to be the one who finished off Dohnaseek, to kill his own killer, some kind of justice in that. And yeah, teamwork is always good~ As of this chapter posting, we don't truly know how strong Elmen actually is, she's never been shown to fight before, and in the spoilers, it seemed like she couldn't keep up with Ravel's training, but in this, she's going to progress, and why Elmen was sent, will be revealed when that person makes their appearance. Ise was quite pissed off huh, Makoto was pretty much beat at that point, he couldn't go on. Hehe, I'm glad that you liked that at least~ Makoto truly was pushed past the point and had to do what he did. Damn Serafall, what are you doing here~? But in all seriousness, yeah~ No one harms her Ma-tan or she'll come after you, shown when she headbutted Kalawarner, and decked Mittelt with her staff. She was indeed! Yup, she's going to be Makoto's future Bishop, even Serafall said as much~ We did indeed, the last few chapters have been heavy with the emotions and such, and this chapter will be more light hearted, though will also have some important moments too. Yeah, after ten chapters, they finally lock lips! They've surely shown their interest in him, though at this point it is only truly Asia, Yumi, and Elmen. Millicas, likes him quite a bit, and Serafall does too, but they'll be soon shown to have their moments. The mysterious figure...that person will be important, but I can't say why just yet. And yeah, they'll continue on, don't worry about that~

Blue Eyes Pendulum Dragon; Indeed, this is gonna be quite fun~ Thank you, I'm excited to hear/read that~ Oh no, his confidence will grow as the story does. Well, he doesn't have a Longinus, though doesn't mean that it can't have good potential either. Well, he is the Queen, so he does have all the pieces inside of him. His potential will be shown as the story goes on~

Nivek Beldo; It is indeed over, and it had to be like that. I'm glad that you liked it! Indeed, it was a hard battle, but with the three of them together, they proved to be a match for Dohnaseek. It did indeed, several pieces, and they have to be for their personal growth too, for the future of the fic, and themselves at the same time. She is gonna be around for a while yeah, and is gonna help him grow too. And thanks! Here it is!

darkfenixx7; Well, you could say that he has a pushing point. Push him beyond that, and he's not going to be your friend. I'm glad that you did like it~ His serious side will show up when he needs to be like that. Freed didn't expect that, and even received such a wound and such~ And no worries~

Anime PJ; Thanks! I know indeed. Though a few chapters ago, that Makoto didn't go through torture, seeing his elder brother being abused mentally and physically by Ise, and he didn't see the girl he had a crush on be killed, when he desperately tried to save her. So, yeah I suppose you could say he lost it and wanted Raynare dead. Serafall is awesome in her own way though~ Indeed, poor Rias and Sona~ I'm happy that you do! Yeah, it makes sense that she is with Makoto's Master than Ise's, plus it also is for a future plot point too. After ten chapters, they finally got together, sort of! At least they kissed one another~ He does indeed, and as for Ise, I bet he is. Though he isn't into Loli's so he won't mind about at least two of them. She is indeed, playing a...well, the chapter speaks for itself. Tiamat is gonna be appearing here yeah, but let's see how that goes~

ShadowUzumaki55; Thank you! They surely did, showing some good combinations with one another. Yeah, he killed his killer in the end. Something I had planned since the beginning. Exactly, she can always be with Makoto now. Hehe, I'm happy you liked it~ Sona and Rias...well, they aren't dead so that's a plus~

Naroku; In this story, it wouldn't of worked after everything Raynare did. But thanks anyway! And I'll try!

Justin D; I'm happy that you did like it~ He surely did yeah~ Well, he won't need it to be different elements, and I wouldn't know how that would work, unless it is like Kiba's Sword Birth, where he could create different types of birds or something, like Sword Birth can create different types of swords. Not a bad idea actually. Well, Makoto won't need a Longinus to be on par with Ise. Yeah, that sounds great to me! Actually, the position of Rias' peerage is...well, it won't be an oc, but I can't say any more than that. If it is going to be replaced at all, or not, will be shown in the future. Besides, Asia didn't do much during the Rating Games that Rias had, though in this Asia will be doing more in the future as Makoto's Bishop. I suppose that he would be like that huh~ And thanks!

Vizard Issei; He finally did yeah~ He kissed the girl~ It would be Yumi Kiba, or going by Japanese, then Kiba Yumi. Yuuto's last name is Kiba, so Kiba is also Yumi's last name too. Well, only Kalawarner has been confirmed to have a Sacred Gear for now, if Mittelt has one, will be shown in the future. Yeah, I thought Asia being in Serafall's peerage not only gives someone for Makoto to have, but also to have a connection with in the peerage beyond Serafall. There is a reason for that, and it is because in this, Raynare did many things that Makoto deemed unforgivable, especially to Ise, and Asia. For the answers, I can't answer that about the man yet, and I dunno~ Just Ravel for now~

Ragna; Well, it means that she'd never hurt him on purpose. Sex, and kinky stuff is different to going out of her way than physically hurting him. And I don't know about that, but when they get together, it is going to be quite, the fun time.

Skull Flame; Oh, I see. Okay then. They are indeed, and why that is, also ties into the plot too. She can indeed, I suppose that it is like that yeah~ Hehe, that would be quite funny, and yeah, he certainly ran off huh, don't mess with Makoto when he's truly pissed off. The party is just starting with Serafall here now~ It is unwanted for now, but in the future~ He'll never have rest, and now with Kiyome back...it is going to be very difficult for the boy. Well, it is gonna be different reason why Tiamat joins Makoto. And thanks!

UsagiAngelRabbit; Yeah, it is quite the combination of that huh. I know, he went through so much, and it ended up like that. Well, I am glad that you liked it regardless~ And yeah, Princess isn't going to be happy.

Primevere; I'm glad that you do! They are so cute together, aren't they!? And thank you! I'll try!

ShadeAkami; Indeed~ Glad for it~ It was quite action packed, and this chapter winds that down a little bit. Hehe quite the funny joke~ I liked it~ M&M I giggled at that a little bit. They tried their best...but, in the end weren't needed, as they did the best that they could do. Well, that's a Gremory thing, just like Rias is with Ise in canon. They are indeed, but that's also for another reason too, which will be explored later on. Oh yeah, I made you saaaaaaa...eeh, that's not a good thing...or in this case, it kind of is~ Hmmm, that would be something to explore huh. In the earlier arcs, I can't see it making much of a difference, but later on, especially with Fafnir and all that, it would be something huh. But you could say that about Rias, and other important characters. And yeah, he has a fellow peerage member! In this one, yeah...after everything she did to Makoto, Asia, and Ise, Makoto really couldn't stand it, though it also shows how far he's willing to go to protect his family and friends. There was a line about Sona getting rid of the body with water magic, I believe. I remember writing it. Yup, they finally shared a kiss between them! Good for them huh! They surely are huh! Serafall at least wants her Queen to be happy with the girls~ Hehe, indeed...why...well, I guess...nope, not gonna touch that one. You know, I had to goggle what that was, and when I did...eeh, very scary indeed...that would've been scary for Sona and Rias to watch too. Aah, that's gonna be a mystery for a little while, but it is someone important, I can say that. Yup, we're off to the forest! Kiyome's gonna appear, but Serafall is there so she won't be able to do it. And thanks!

Guest; I've thought about many DXD stories before, and that one has crossed my mind before. It would be something interesting, wouldn't it? That would be quite something, and some kind of character development and such. And yeah, that all sounds quite interesting to say the least, huh~? Thanks for the suggestion!

Tohka123; Thank you very much! In their own way, they are getting along yeah~ She does indeed, and that will come in handy later on too. It was a hard battle, especially with Makoto having quite severe injuries, but they managed to pull off a win eventually. Eh, I suppose it could've been subconsciously. They arrived at the end of the battle huh...nice timing indeed. It is, Makoto and Asia have something quite special between one another, and he has his friends, future lovers, to help him through something like that. You don't wanna piss off Makoto, especially after taking away people that he truly does love, and care for. She did indeed, Makoto wasn't playing with her after what she had done to him. Serafall went beast mode, and knocked out anything that she came across, especially if it someone that wants to hurt her precious Ma-tan. She has yeah! There's a reason for that too, which shall be revealed in the near future! Makoto and Yumi, after ten chapters, finally shared their first kiss, and Elmen isn't gonna be sitting back now~ It's Ise's dream, but maybe it had rubbed off on him a little bit, though he's got more desires than something like a harem. He does indeed, what does he want? All shall be revealed in time! It's gonna be a little more silly/fun than last chapter, but also has some serious elements too.

Cf96; Thank you!

Bade of Takeda; Thanks! Yumi got there in the end huh~ Millicas surely is quite adorable, and Elmen, I've got some good plans for Elmen, she's going to become a good member of Makoto's team.

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


A pact, and a shock part one

Early in the morning, Makoto didn't expect this to happen…

He didn't expect that he was going to be between two beautiful females.

"Suu~ Suu~ Munyaaaaaa…"

"…Mmmmmm…"

Makoto was between Serafall, and Yumi herself. The pair of them had gotten into his bed at the previous night, he didn't expect it, but he wasn't going to turn it away either. Especially with the pair of them wearing no bra either.

He even felt Princess curling up on his lap, on his crotch no less. He was sure that there was something about the cat that he didn't trust. She just seemed to always go for his crotch, when there were different areas that she could lie down on.

As he tossed on the bed, Yumi was stirred awake. Her long eyelashes were the first thing that he caught when on her, and then it was when her breasts bounced as she sat up. She didn't even cover up her modest sized chest away from him.

"Y-Yumi-senpai…"

Yumi caught sight of Makoto, and hugged him against her chest.

"Last night was a joy, Makoto-kun. Sleeping next to Makoto-kun is the best in the entire world. Your warm body relaxes my own body, I enjoyed myself when you cuddled against me too. Makoto-kun's body is also nice to look at in the morning too~"

She couldn't help but sing it out, and looked as she did.

Makoto only thought that it enhanced her already beautiful face when her equally beautiful appearance caught his attention. Even when her hands slide up and down his chest, body, and went down to his thighs too, stopping near the crotch where she heard a hissing sound coming from Princess, pulling her hands away when Princess swiped for her.

"Y-Your cat is very scary sometimes."

"Everyone keeps saying that, but I don't see it. Princess is only being Princess, she doesn't do anything that bad, does she? I mean, she's very adorable, and loves being cuter than cute sometimes too~"

Yumi didn't know if Makoto looked at Princess through rose coloured glasses, or something else entirely, but there was something going on, and Yumi didn't know what that was, and neither did others that knew of Princess' more wild nature.

Ignoring the cat, Yumi turned her undivided attention towards Makoto, and instantly cupped his face with her one hand, and her other hand laid on top of Makoto's hand. Like it was an instinct, he allowed his fingers to lace together with hers.

"Yumi-senpai?"

Yumi smiled gently, and leaned closer towards him, giving him a kind smile.

"Don't worry Makoto-kun, I'm not going to do anything bad. But, I remembered when we shared a kiss. Do you remember it?"

"I-I think about it sometimes…"

At his admission, Yumi's smile broadened.

"I think about it often. Though it has only been over a week now, I still think about Makoto-kun, and his sweet lips." Makoto's face turns red as the girl brushes her fingers across his cheek. "You're cute when you blush, Makoto-kun."

He averted his eyes just in time for Yumi to fully lean closer towards him, not even bothered with exposing her cleavage towards him, not that he would mind if he was honest with himself, and enjoyed seeing a topless Yumi.

"Yumi-senpai, suddenly saying these things, I don't know if I will be able to take much more of this affectionate side of my Senpai as of late. I, simply don't know how else to say it without being a blushing person…"

"Fueeee, you're quite cute, Makoto-kun. I cannot deny something like that. So, I have an idea. Want to hear about it?"

"Y-Yes?"

Wanting to know what she was going to say, Yumi leaned closer and nuzzled her face against Makoto's own, surprising him slightly.

"How about we share a kiss between us again?"

"A-A kiss…w-we could do it again…?"

Attempting to appear calm didn't work, and his voice came out quite meek, and mild at the same time.

"Yes, we can kiss again sometimes Makoto-kun. I mean, we are now…"

Even Yumi didn't know how to finish that.

Where they dating?

Lovers?

Friends with benefits?

Neither of them knew, and didn't know how to bring up the subject.

But definitely, they did want to kiss the other again, that wasn't ever a mistake.

"Yumi-senpai…kissing Yumi-senpai has been a dream of mine for ages now, so I was suddenly shocked when you suddenly suggested it."

"Y-Yes, I am surprised at myself. But, because it is Makoto-kun, I feel like kissing him would be for the best now, he is someone that I only want to kiss. So, would it be okay if we kissed Makoto-kun?"

"Baka…y-you don't need to ask something like that…y-you can just kiss me."

Yumi smiled, and took the plunge.

Naturally, Makoto tilted his head back so she'd gain easy access to his lips.

While they both were shy about it, that almost made it better, knowing the other was shy about it too. So, it made them be able to gain closer and closer, until their lips were naturally going to meet one another's…

"Ara, seducing my Queen already Yumi-chan?"

Chipperness wasn't what was in Serafall's voice as she sat up.

Yumi immediately pulled away from Makoto, and looked down at the bedsheets.

"S-Serafall-sama! I-I wasn't trying to seduce Makoto-kun! I-I was only going to give him a good morning kiss! T-That's all!"

Serafall smiled, but her eyes weren't smiling, and she used her arms to wrap them around Makoto, and pulled his head towards her, allowing her breasts to be his head pillow.

"Well, that's also cute sometimes too. But, don't worry about something like that my Yumi-chan. I don't mind allowing Ma-tan to go to someone else sometimes, but he has to stay with me also you know~? I love seeing Ma-tans adorable face in the morning~"

Serafall turned around Makoto, and showed a smile on her face.

"Sera-tan…y-you're quite embarrassing right now…"

Makoto spoke with a slight smile on his face, but Serafall just smiled wildly.

"Fufufu, that's a cute reaction Ma-tan. You're not actually going to be embarrassed by me or something, are you sweetheart?" Makoto didn't answer as Yumi hugged him from the other side. "Ooh by the way Ma-tan! Soon, I've got a special surprise for you!"

"S-Surprise? What's surprising?"

Serafall winked, and didn't say anything.

"Don't worry about it for now Ma-tan. But, I know that you'll like it, maybe. I dunno, depending on how you feel about them…well, we'll soon see. It was hard, and difficult, but it seemed like it was going to happen anyway. My Ma-tan is adorable after all, so it was only right, and then there's that dolt A…eeh, never mind~ But yes, don't worry Ma-tan, I'm gonna make sure that you're well looked after, and gather strong comrades~"

"S-Strong comrades huh. You mean like, Asia-san?"

"Fufu, she is your Bishop after all~"

Yumi's eyes clouded as Serafall said that, almost striking a cord.

"B-But, she's still yours."

"I said it before, didn't I? Ma-tan can think of her as his own Bishop, because she will be one day. She's gonna join your group. Ooh, speaking of that, we gotta help you attain better status, huh~? That's gonna be interesting~"

"R-Right, but how does one attain higher status?"

At the question, Serafall put a hand to her chin, releasing Makoto, and Yumi took this chance to hug him tightly between her breasts. His face resembled larva at this moment in time, and his blush deepened.

"Well, there are a few ways. Like, competing in Rating Games…but I don't do that so…eeh, I guess that's out. But, you can do contracts, and such, that will help. Or, you could like, compete in large battles, and save the world and such. That would work too. That would get you recognized…well, that also means that my Ma-tan is gonna have to work hard too! You will, won't you Ma-tan?"

"Eeh, yeah. I suppose so…though, please don't make it so difficult until I'm used to it? I mean, I nearly died under Sona-kaichou's tutelage. Though she did help me, I still felt like it was very harsh on myself…"

"Hmmmm, you do have a point. Sona-chan was a naughty girl, but I will make sure that she doesn't do bad stuff in the future! I won't have her bullying my Ma-tan! I definitely won't allow that to happen! My Ma-tan is too adorable for something like that! I won't allow my Ma-tan to be brought down into something like this!"

Makoto could only awkwardly chuckle, and was troubled on how to respond.


Getting to school, Yumi split off from Makoto, as Makoto himself marched Serafall to the student council room, since he was sure that if she was left to her own devices, she could potentially do something, already hinting at 'breaking' Makoto out of class already.

Serafall was holding onto Makoto's hand as tight as she could, and wouldn't let it go for the world. She simply loved holding onto his hand, even if others walking past held suspicious thoughts about the pair of them walking together.

But she insisted that they hold hands…he didn't know why that was. He didn't exactly mind something like that, just holding her hand. But, he could do without the occasional slap on his butt that she would give him.

"Ma-tan, I could come to your class, you know? It wouldn't be so bad, would it Ma-tan? We could sit together in class, and I could rub my hands up and down Ma-tans thighs as he sits on my lap adorably~ I could even give Ma-tans ears cute little kisses. Because it is my Queen, I don't mind kissing Ma-tans ears, and even if he wants to have some fun with me, and wants to grope my boobs, then I don't mind something like that."

Makoto's mind briefly thought about what she was saying, and contemplated it. He didn't want to contemplate anything, but he knew that he wouldn't have any choice other than to do something like that either.

"N-No, I don't think we need to do that. It would be really boring, wouldn't it?"

"Hmmmmm, you do have a point…I don't wanna be bored with naughty school working…but I feel like I would abandon Ma-tan if I just left him in class…are you sure that you don't want me to help you skip school?"

"i-I actually need to catch up on some work. I missed a few assignments while I was new to being a Devil, and all that other stuff. So, I can't really skip school at the moment, I need to get my head in the books."

"Geez Ma-tan, are you like trying to overachieve or something? Heeeh! Have I found myself a hot nerd!? I've always wanted a hot nerd type! All Ma-tan needs is glasses, and then that would complete the cute sexy hot nerd look!"

"I'm not a h-hot nerd! I am not an overachiever either! I just want to do my best is all! I don't want to do anything else other than my best, okay!?"

Serafall couldn't resist, and released a cute giggling sound.

"I'm sorry Ma-tan, I couldn't resist doing something like that, it was just so easy to do that I wasn't able to think right Ma-tan, I didn't mean to do something like that my adorable Ma-tan, it must be because you're so cute that I couldn't hold myself back!"

"Geez, Sera-tan is getting rambunctious as of late?"

"Yup! I have to be excited like this! It means that I am going to be able to have my Ma-tan to myself! Sorry if it means I am being weird and all that, but my Ma-tan is amazing, and I love my Ma-tan more than anyone else!"

"Y-You're confessing to me!?"

Serafall giggled sweetly, and cupped his chin, and brought him closer towards her body.

"Don't worry my Ma-tan, I still love my Ma-tan after all. You don't have to worry about anything Ma-tan, you're my adorable and sexy Queen that I am going to hold my Ma-tan, and keep him safe from the bad people in the world~ Especially since it is my Ma-tan after all~ I won't have anything else other than my Ma-tan with me~ Now my adorable Ma-tan, please come with me, and I will make sure that my Ma-tan will always stay with me. Now, I'm gonna go and meet Sona-chan, since Ma-tan is embarrassed of me~"

"I'm not embarrassed by you Sera-tan!"

Serafall released a small breath, and winked.

"I'm glad that my Ma-tan isn't embarrassed of me. I was worried that Ma-tan might not like me since he seems awkward around me."

"T-That's just because it is still weird for me to understand much about things like this. I haven't been able to decide much on what I am supposed to do now Sera-tan. I am worried that I am just going to think of this as a weird experience and block it off my mind…I tend to do stuff like that when something bad happens…"

"Something bad? Has something bad happened to Ma-tan before?"

Makoto quickly shakes his head, and gains a happy demeanour, though Serafall isn't quite easily convinced that there is something to it than normal.

"N-No! Nothing at all! You don't have to worry about something like that!"

Makoto wasn't exactly convincing, and Serafall could see through that.

"Ma-tan, there's something wrong, right? You can talk to me, you know? I am your King, there's nothing to worry about. Even if Ma-tan has many different bad things going on in your life, I am right here for my Ma-tan. Isn't that right my Ma-tan?"

"Y-Yeah…w-well, I should go! See you later!"

Makoto bowed his head, and went to turn around.

But before he could, Serafall gripped Makoto's shoulder, and gently laid her lips against his cheek, surprising him immensely, and the contents of the hallway happened to see them, releasing the usual rounds of "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" from pretty much most of the girls.

"Sera-tan…"

Serafall winked, patting his face.

"Don't worry my Ma-tan. You're cute, so kissing my Ma-tan is a must, isn't it Ma-tan?"

Makoto just looked humbled and looked down towards the ground shyly. Then, he bowed his head, and walked away with steam coming out of his ears. She just had to smile childlike at seeing the departing Makoto.


When Makoto got to class, Elmen, Koneko, Asia, and a very quiet Millicas was sat there together, doing nothing but talking with one another. Makoto strode over towards her, and placed his hands on Elmen's shoulders.

"I'm going to suck your blood and sparkle at the same time~"

"Don't mention sparkling Vampire's to me!" She snapped, and showed a cute expression. "I-I mean, this isn't something that you can do! Please don't hurt me like that! I don't like it!"

Makoto tensed, and backed away from Elmen.

"Geez, I didn't know that you didn't like Twilight…t-that's it, right?"

Elmen put a hand to her heart, like she had been stabbed.

"It is a stupid movie that is very hurtful to my kind. Sparkle in sunlight, screw that…wait, Bella would because she'd screw anything!"

"R-Right…b-by the way Elmen-chan, does anyone ever ask you…about the whole Lucy situation. I mean, you and she were…well, don't you ever get questions about it? I've seen people treat you as a new student, when technically you aren't."

"Well, it has been difficult, and people have asked about it. But, I just say that she had to go overseas, and I was sent to live with my auntie, is all. And she was sent back to live with our parents in Romania."

"Oh? People believe that?"

Makoto was cautious, but she nodded her head.

"Yes, that's right. At least, they don't say anything bad about it. They just think that she is my twin, and we have different skin tones, you know, paler for the whole, Vampire thing and all."

Makoto was always wondering about the so called 'Vampire thing' since he didn't know much about them, beyond what Elmen had said about them before, and that wasn't very much.

"Right…that still I don't get some of it anyway. I mean, being a Vampire means that you know about this whole stuff…a-and, what about Devils, and Vampires? Where do they stand with one another exactly?"

Elmen furrowed her eyebrows, and answered with a sigh.

"We don't usually get along that well, or if at all actually." She confessed, Makoto listening intently. "Because, Vampire's can be very stuck up, and all that. even more so than Devils, Vampire's cherish even more about pure bloods. And discriminate against even their own children if they are half breeds like myself, and others too. And then, there's the fact that there are also Vampire's made from humans, like you see in the movies and all that stuff. They don't get it easy too. It is a very harsh time in the life of Vampire's if you aren't a perfect pure blooded one."

"Wow, seems harsh."

Makoto didn't know how else to say it, as it really did seem very hard on Elmen, from what he knew about her about being a half Vampire.

Elmen nodded her head, and sat down on her seat.

"It's quite harsh indeed. That's why, in the end, I ran away from that place, I couldn't take it anymore, though I still held myself arrogantly because, I wasn't aware of much difference, and thought that I was above it all. But then, I met you, and you know the rest from there. I, wanted to just do normal things in my life, and then, I was able to meet a lovely guy, it was a good time anyway, I enjoyed myself when being together with Makoto-kun."

Makoto lightly smiled as Elmen did the same thing.

"You know, when at first I found out about…all this, I wasn't sure on how to feel, and then I found out that you're a Vampire-chan, I was in shock, and then you're not really Lucy-chan but someone else called Elmen-chan, it was quite shocking for me, I didn't know how else to do it. But, slowly, as I talk with you, it is the same as when I was with Lucy-chan. I know that you are one and the same, but it just seemed, different to me somehow. almost like I was getting to know a new person."

"A-And? Do you like me?"

"Of course you idiot. Why wouldn't I? Lucy-chan was important to me, and so is Elmen-chan."

Elmen couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face, and now she felt really…good.

Just hearing that he cared about her, it truly was relieving to hear something like that.

"I'm glad that Makoto-kun does like me. I was worried that as soon as I revealed myself, you wouldn't be able to look at me the same. But, it seemed like you still do like me…t-thank you for still liking me."

"H-Hey, no need to worry about something like that Elmen-chan, I still like you very much. I'm just glad that I don't have to hide anything from you anymore, and then it was easier to be with you, and such. I don't have to say anything negative anymore, and I will be able to stay with Elmen-chan too in this new supernatural world."

To say that he was relieved would be an understatement, he was immensely happy that Elmen turned out to be a supernatural being too, that was a very good thing in his eyes. He wouldn't of been able to keep lying to her. But now that he didn't have to do that, he was able to breathe again.

"Y-Yes, we'll be able to stay together in this. A-And of course, I shall also be helping you anyway that I can. I will definitely offer support to Makoto-kun in anything that I can do. Though, I can't really fight that well, and all…b-but, I will offer my assistance to Makoto-kun with anything that I can do something like that."

"Aah! Thanks Elmen-chan!"

She just blushes, and looks down at the desk, pulling out some papers, and read them to herself.

Since it seemed like Elmen wouldn't be speaking anymore, Makoto just smiled and stretched his body…

When he felt eyes on him.

He knew who they were, and he had a feeling that something was wrong, so he did what he should do.

Makoto then turned towards Asia as he could feel that she was waiting for something, by the way that she stared at him.

"Hey Asia-san!"

"Y-Yes, good morning Makoto-san!" She greeted him back, and then adopted a cute face. "A-Also, Makoto-san. May I ask something of you?"

"Already? You want something already?" He joked, but then became serious when her face dropped, waving his hands in front of his face. "Y-Yeah! Sure! Ask away Asia-san! Sorry, I was only having a joke with you! You don't have to worry about something like that!"

Asia nodded, and put a hand to her chest.

"I have noticed that you add 'chan' to Elmen-sans name."

"Aah, yeah. That means we're quite familiar with one another, and close. But, why do you ask?"

Asia shuffles on her feet, as a shy expression appears on her face.

"…W-Would it be okay i-if you add that t-to my name too?"

The shyness on her face made Makoto's heart melt. He literally felt hot under her gaze, and couldn't control his inner cuteness detector, and looked like he was going to hug Asia tightly. But, for her safety and his sanity, he kept himself back for the moment.

"Y-You want me to call you Asia-chan? I don't have any complaints, it just seems sudden."

"Y-Yes, it does…I was just worried that I would fall behind…"

"Fall behind?"

Asia turned crimson, shaking her head left and right, her hair following her, and hit her in the face.

"N-Never mind! Please don't worry Makoto-san!"

"Hehe, then I see, Asia-chan. You don't have to worry, I'll add that to your name too!"

"Y-Yes, thank you very much Makoto-san. Hearing it from your mouth makes me feel relieved Makoto-san."

"I'm glad! Incidentally, Asia-chan. Where do you live anyway?"

"Erm, I'm currently staying within the Occult Research clubroom…erm, I mean, inside of the building there. There is a room for me to sleep inside."

"Oh? I thought that Sera-tan had gotten you a place to stay? I mean, a proper home?"

Asia's face flashes red as she pokes her fingers together shyly.

"Makoto-san…erm, Serafall-sama said that there is a potential place for myself to live permanently, and I was wondering something." Makoto didn't say anything, but indicated that he was listening. "If there was a place that I could stay…maybe if it wouldn't be too much trouble…w-what if I lived with Makoto-san?"

"Living with me?" She nodded very shyly, almost like she was frozen and could barely move. "I-I don't see why not Asia-chan. If that's what you want, I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of Asia-chan living with me at the Hyoudou house. Though, you'd probably have to get permission from my parents. But, that shouldn't be a problem."

"I'm very happy Makoto-san thinks of it like that!"

Makoto still didn't understand, but Asia was okay with that, and sat down.

Makoto was about to sit down…when he saw Millicas.

He saw that she was just being quiet. By now, usually, she would come over and say something. But this morning, she seemed to be just keeping to herself. Actually, Makoto was worried that she was being quite quiet.

He was going to go over, and say something, but the teacher came into the room, so he didn't have the chance to speak with her, so he sat down while wondering what was going on with the resident redhead in the room.


"Phew…that was a hard physical exercise."

Asia complained softly as she was dripping with sweat.

Of course, because Asia wasn't used to it, she didn't know how to cope with it, even with being a Devil, and was leaning against Makoto for some support. Millicas, Elmen, and Koneko walked beside them, though Millicas seemed to be in a little of a trance.

However, Elmen and Koneko almost thought that Asia was putting some of it on, due to how she was hanging off Makoto. It seemed that she was less tired than she was actually letting on, if only so she could cling to him tightly.

Since it was the last class of the day, they were essentially free now, and all they needed to do was get changed back into their school uniforms.

"Naaah! You did very well Asia-chan! Don't think you didn't! You did very well for someone who was raised within the Church, and today was a hard exam too. My normal human body would've been screaming at me by now…I suppose it's a perk to being a Devil, huh. You'll get used to it Asia-chan, I know that you will."

Makoto's smile made Asia's cute face turn pink.

"Hehehe, even if it is such a simple thing, Makoto-san praises me greatly. T-Thank you future King!"

Her way of speaking always captured Makoto's heart in new and different ways. It almost made him feel, wonderful inside of his chest.

"Y-Yeah, future King huh…that's a goal worth aspiring too."

Though Makoto didn't know what he wanted just yet, he was excited to think about the future. By now, it was pretty much guaranteed that Makoto was going to take Asia with him when he became High Class, however long that was gonna take, but beyond that, he didn't know how or what he was going to do in the meantime.

"Ooh yes, that does sound good Makoto-kun." Elmen commented as they rounded a corner. "So, you've got to do many things to gain higher status, you know? Though, being Serafall-sama's Queen also helps with that too."

"Aah yeah…ehehehe, it's weird that people call me that. I know I am her Queen, but when hearing it out of others mouths, it makes me feel complicated."

"Complicated my eye. This opens a whole new world for you! You're like, already thought of as precious, because you're a Maou-sama's Queen. I don't know much about things like that, but I do know that they would take it quite seriously, you know what I mean?"

She seemed to be happy about something, though Makoto didn't know what that thing was.

"Well, I don't know much about things like that. I'm just relieved that things are getting back on track. No one is trying to kill me, that I know of, Sona-kaichou has stopped with the early death marches…though, I think that's because Sera-tan is here too."

"Sera-tan, it is a cute way to say her name~"

Elmen couldn't help but point that out, as Koneko nodded her head.

"…Not many would be okay with casually calling a Maou-sama something like that."

"I just think because I met her first, before knowing anything about Maou-sama's and what not, it seems less intimidating to me. Of course, it does make me feel awkward sometimes, especially when she becomes affectionate. I mean, wouldn't it be seen as being looked down upon if a Maou-sama is intimate with their servant? I, don't want her to be laughed at or anything because she wants to get close to me...it's a little worrying actually..."

Neither Asia, Elmen or Koneko really had the answer.

So, Makoto turned towards the only Devil around that was always a Devil, and adopted a smile.

"Millicas-san, would you know?"

There was no answer.

Asia, and Makoto shared a look as did Elmen and Koneko, as it was strange that she didn't say anything.

Makoto waved his hand in front of Millicas' face, catching her off guard.

"Waah…something wrong Makoto-san?"

"Oh…not really. You just seem out of it, something the matter?"

Millicas adopted a smile, but clearly was fake, and shook her head.

"Nothing…nothing at all. I just…nothing at all."

Makoto wasn't convinced at all, but didn't have time to say anything as they ended up being outside of the changing rooms, where Koneko looked at him harshly, pointing towards him as she was going to scold him.

"Don't follow."

"I wasn't planning to follow you though!"

Koneko really wasn't convinced, because of his relation to Ise, but didn't say anything, and went into the room regardless.

"Geez, seems like something has gotten her all hot and bothered. She's not usually that aggressive, is she?"

Elmen asked as she walked in, not waiting for an answer.

Asia looked towards Makoto and turned her face red as Millicas' hair.

"Ma-Makoto-san, when I come out, will you be here waiting?"

"Sure…I will wait here for you. And get changed afterwards, it isn't an issue."

"Thank you, Makoto-san! I'll definitely get changed quickly! And then Makoto-san and I can walk together somewhere else after school finishes maybe! Anywhere would be fine!"

"Hehe, you seem hyper Asia-chan. Something going on I'm not aware of?"

Asia put her hands together, and shook her head cutely.

"N-No, nothing like that. I just wish to spend time with Makoto-san is all. N-No matter what we do, I always like spending time with Makoto-san."

Makoto's face turns a pink colour, and has trouble on how to respond.

Asia didn't say anything else, she felt too embarrassed to say anything, and just walked into the room to get changed.

However, Millicas was left outside of the room, and she just stood there, like she had something on her mind.

"Millicas-san, is something wrong?"

Millicas looked towards Makoto, and offered a smile.

"N-No, nothing at all. I'm just, thinking about something."

"Oh? Anything important?"

Even Millicas didn't know how to answer that, and posed a question for the young black and blonde haired boy.

"Makoto-san, may I ask you something?" He nodded without a word, allowing her to continue. "What is your opinion on…love exactly?"

"L-Love…?"

He felt a bit embarrassed discussing something so important out in the open, but Millicas pressed on.

"I've been thinking about it lately, and I can't come to a good conclusion on what it would entail to be in love…"

"Why are you thinking about it? Is there someone that you think you love?"

That's what the most obvious conclusion to the question she said, but Millicas was ever surprising, and didn't agree with what he said.

"I don't think so…I just, am wondering about it. Love seems to be something wonderful. I, wonder if love would ever come my way."

"Why wouldn't it?"

"What do you mean?"

Makoto gained a smile, and put his hand on top of her head, ruffling her hair.

"I mean, why wouldn't you be able to find love? You're quite cute, and you're intelligent. You're adorable, and everything else associated with cuteness. Heck, the way that you helped me, almost makes me wanna fall for you."

He didn't mean to let it slip, and only realized what he said after the fact, putting a hand to his face, and blushed a deep crimson colour.

"Makoto-san…t-to think you'd say something like that…" Millicas had a red face, and leaned towards the door. "I-I just don't know how to respond to something like that…" Bashfully, she swayed her body. "B-But Makoto-san…say, tell me something, okay?"

"Y-Yes?"

With a nervous face, he answered her and waited for her to continue onwards.

"…Would you help me if I ever got into trouble?"

"Of course."

Millicas blinked, she was in shock.

"Y-You said it without even a moments hesitation either…"

"Why would I have any hesitation? You helped me Millicas-san, more than most would. You've done many things for me, I would have to repay you back for that. If you need help with anything, count me on your side." Millicas' cute face turns towards Makoto, and she gains moist eyes. "H-Hey, did I do something stupid…? I-I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do something like that!"

Millicas shook her head, wiping her eyes gently.

"N-No, it's just, no one has ever said anything like that to me before outside of my family."

"Not even your friends?"

"…I don't have many friends besides a certain Phenex girl...but she isn't here now."

At her admission, Makoto felt bad for her, and so he moved closer towards her, and bent his neck towards her.

"I'm your friend, Millicas-san." Millicas' eyes widened as his hand went to the top of her head. "I'm definitely Millicas-sans friend. She's helped me so much, and she even came for me when Fallen Angels had kidnapped me. if it wasn't at least your friend, then I would be a terrible person, wouldn't I? It wouldn't be right for me to not be your friend in situations such as these. And even if you didn't do anything for me, you're still a girl that I would genuinely like to be friends with."

Millicas had some wet eyes, and only had a single request.

"Makoto-san, can I have a hug?"

Makoto cocked his head to the side, but nodded his head anyway, still confused on what was going on.

"Of course dummy, I'd definitely be your friend, and hug you. Come here you dolt. I'll definitely give my redheaded friend a hug."

Millicas immediately went at him, and allowed her arms to wrap around his body, holding her in his arms. Her head fell against his chest, and she felt, content. All of the thoughts she had, previous just went away at the result of his hug on her body.

"Makoto-san, I think that your hugs are magical."

"Oh?"

She nodded against his chest.

"That's right, magical hugs. I like Makoto-sans hugs, they feel amazing."

Makoto didn't have a problem with that, and allowed his arms to just continue holding onto her form like they were.

"Aah, then I am-"

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Suddenly, Makoto and Millicas heard a scream from inside of the changing rooms.

"Asia-chan! I'm coming!"

Makoto knew her screams by now, and disregarded anything else, rushing towards the changing room, Millicas trailing behind him.

When getting into the room, Elmen and Asia with their breasts on display, rush behind Makoto and shivering like they had seen a ghost or something akin to a ghost, and they didn't want to have that experience again any time soon.

"Makoto-san!"

"It's that damn pervert again! He's always doing this crap!"

Asia clutched onto Makoto's back, and Elmen did the same thing.

He then heard something being hit, and turned…

He saw Koneko with her fist smashed against a locker, breaking it in half.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Koneko-chan pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!"

Ise came flying out of the locker, and hit his head on the metal locker.

Makoto's eyes changed from usual sympathy for the young man, to annoyed as Koneko balled her fist.

"…That isn't something that you should do. …You are a pervert of the worst degree."

"Waaaaaaaaah! Koneko-chan please!"

Ise begged for his life as she neared him with her fist.

Makoto on the other hand, shot forward, and got between them in a surprising blast of speed.

"…Mako-kun, don't defend him. …He's a disgusting perverted creature that needs to be put down for all eternity."

Ise felt bad about being called that, but Makoto shook his head, and smiled sadistically, for him anyway.

"Don't worry Koneko-chan, I don't intend to allow this person to get away with it."

"Ma-Makoto? W-What do you mean by that?"

Makoto turned from Koneko, to Ise with harsher eyes than usual.

"Perving on adorable innocent Asia-chan, Elmen-chan and even Koneko-chan deserves punishment. You also even nearly perved on Millicas-san, so that cannot be allowed to be left alone Onii-chan. You know that I love you, but this isn't something that I can simply stop anymore, I cannot help you now."

Ise now felt scared.

When Makoto was around when stuff like this happened, he usually felt safe…not this time.

He felt immensely frightened right now, his entire body was shivering.

Makoto didn't look pleased right now.

"Makoto! Please don't do anything! I know that you're upset with me! But, I had reasons!"

"Reasons being, what?"

He asked calmly, but strode over slowly.

Ise knew that this wasn't going to be pretty, and pushed his body backwards as fast as he could.

"I couldn't help it! My sexual desire was high, and I ended up becoming like this now! Please, don't leave me alone Makoto! I'm sorry that I did this! Please don't hurt me! Y-You're a good person! Better than I am! Please find it in your loving heart to not hurt me anymore!"

Makoto seemed to be considering what he said, but Koneko pointed it out.

"Mako-kun, he would've perved on Asia-san, the girl that is going to be your future Bishop. She, is precious, to you, yes?"

Asia blushed, and wondered how precious she really was to Makoto, wondering how much she did have in his life, that was her own, and what he thought about her too.

"Yeah, that's right…" Makoto noticed that a locker away's away was trying to open, so Makoto pointed towards it. "Stay Motohama-senpai, and Matsuda-senpai!" He didn't even have to see to know it was them, the locker halting from opening. "Stay there, or something is gonna happen to you."

Koneko was liking this Makoto, and even Elmen did. Millicas giggled at the sights of the pervs that preyed on her sometime ago being caught in the act. Asia however was too in awe at what Koneko said before to really be paying attention.

Seeing that no action was made, Makoto turned towards Ise, and balled his fist.

"Bad Onii-chan, you need to be punished for preying on innocent girls, especially a former nun. I won't have you ruin her innocence Onii-chan."

Ise felt his entire life flash before his eyes as Makoto brought down his fist on top of Ise's head…


After school that day, the entire club was sat together in Rias' clubroom, even Serafall was there, and cuddling Makoto tightly, Yumi situated just behind him, as Asia sat on the other side of Makoto, and gently had her arms around his neck in an affectionate way, and then there was Elmen, who had taken to sit on his lap which made him blush, he wouldn't deny that. Koneko was staring towards Elmen who casually did just sit on Makoto's lap, and looked down at herself, thinking about a certain something.

"A-Ah, Elmen-chan…w-why are you sat on my lap?"

"Yes, I would also like to know this as well."

Yumi grunted out, Elmen turning towards her with a cheery smile.

"Because Makoto-kun and I are best friends, and we know one another quite deeply. We're able to sit together like this. I like sitting on Makoto-kun's lap, and I am light enough for it to be alright~ So, is there something wrong with me sat on his lap?"

Yumi looked…she didn't look pleased in the slightest, and just glared at her.

Elmen felt like she had some kind of victory and swayed her legs on Makoto's lap.

Millicas looked towards Elmen and her sitting on his leg, and didn't know whether to say anything or not, but she knew that there was something that she was going to say eventually. She didn't know why, but she felt complicated about Elmen sitting on his lap like she was.

"Uuuuuu…I feel sick now…"

Ise complained right on que, like he had set it up somehow. But, it was all genuine as pain ran through his body. He clearly underestimated how strong the new Makoto was, and how to not piss off his friends either.

Asia looked troubled, and went to stand up, but Makoto shook his hand, and gently laid his hand on top of Asia's own hand.

"But, he's hurt Makoto-san…"

"He deserves it for being pervy, Asia-chan."

"Uuuu…I'm conflicted. Though Makoto-san is telling me no, I simply can't ignore someone in pain…"

"Aaah, I'm sorry for your conflicting dilemma Asia-chan. You, don't have to worry though. Punishment sometimes needs to happen when he is bad. He, spied on my fellow classmates changing, that's a no-no, you know?"

"…If Makoto-san says it then I will believe in Makoto-san."

Makoto smiled, and allowed her hand to clasp over one of his own hands.

Ise cried as he nursed the welt on his head, and his bruised face.

"I'm your Onii-sama! Someone that you're supposed to love immensely! Why are you denying her to heal me!?"

Makoto turned towards him with an expressionless face, Koneko nodding her head strongly with what he was going to say.

"Because you spied on my fellow classmates changing. It's wrong, and perverted to do something like that. You, shouldn't do that Onii-chan. I can only protect you so much before you go too far, and end up doing something like this."

"…Mako-kun is right. You reap what you sow. This is why…I like Mako-kun immensely better. …Even if your Otouto, he knows right from wrong, and doesn't do anything wrong like you, most of the time anyway."

Koneko-chan mutters from the sofa which is a bit away from me. Her mouth is in the shape of an "n" and her expression didn't look pleasant.

"Koneko-chan, what do you mean by 'most of the time anyway'? I don't understand."

Koneko turned her expressionless face towards Makoto, and pointed with harsh eyes.

"You, also have some perverseness."

"Eeeeh! I am not a pervert!"

Makoto denied it strongly, but Koneko was still going to say it harshly.

"…Not onto the same scale as that thing there." Ise cried when being called a 'thing' but Koneko continued regardless. "But, you do have a perverted side sometimes. Especially when near Yumi-senpai, or Serafall-sama. even Lucy…Elmen-san sometimes too. Though, Asia-san also can draw that out too."

Makoto made a pouty face, but he didn't miss the fact that she called Elmen, Lucy.

It was a difficult adjustment to them all, to make. She essentially was Lucy, only with a paler skin tone, and a slightly different personality too.

And Elmen didn't miss it either, but she didn't care all that much.

"I think that Ma-tan did amazing! Sock it to him Ma-tan! That's right! My Queen doesn't lose to some lousy Boosted Gear thingy crap! That's right! Mwhahahahahaha! That's how you do it Ma-tan! Give him again soon!"

Ise panic was set on full alert since a Maou was threatening him now.

"Geez. Why are you so…."

Buchou made a sigh of astonishment, she didn't know what to think.

"Ara ara. You have to keep the level of peeping at girls changing at a moderate level."

Akeno who always has a smiley face poured some tea for Ise, who held his hands in his face.

"I got too carried away."

"You are right about that Ise-nii. Besides, if it is Buchou, I'm sure that she'd definitely show you anytime."

Ise's hopeful eyes latch onto Rias who confirms it while nodding her head.

"Buchouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! To think that you'd actually do something like that for me! I can't even enjoy looking at a girl with an undeveloped body but with a wonderful Buchou-sama to take care of me then I will be immensely happy at the same time!"

Killing words…coldness.

"Undeveloped….."

Koneko had a very cold glare for Ise, and even Elmen did too. Millicas was still slightly in her own little world, but it would've made sense if she did react. Makoto couldn't say anything for like that. but then, Asia looked towards Makoto, and wriggled her body cutely.

"Makoto-san. T-Though Ise-san is a naughty person, I am sure that Makoto-san will also want to experience it too… I…If you want to see the naked body of women that much…I can…"

Asia says it while wriggling her body shyly, Makoto putting out his hand, and just shook his head at the same time.

"No, no! You don't have to push yourself Asia-chan! You don't have to do anything that you don't want to do!"

Asia had a complicated face, as Serafall used her womanly charms to wriggle her way to Makoto, hugging him from the side.

"Don't worry Ma-tan, I understand your cute heart, you don't have to worry about anything else. I will also take care of Ma-tans body and soul at the same time. So, Ma-tan can have my naked body whenever he wants. Well, we already sleep together naked, so I don't see it as a problem, what about you Ma-tan? You feel the same with your cute body and my cute body meshing together, right?"

"S-Sera-tan! You can't just suddenly say something so outrageous!"

Saying it strongly, Serafall just winked at him cutely.

Yumi gained a slight jealous face, and hugged Makoto even tighter.

"We'll be going together Makoto-kun, in naughty stuff, yes? S-Since we have shared a kiss with one another, I don't mind going with Makoto-kun naked. Since, he has a good body, and my own body too."

"Yumi-senpai, you can't suddenly suggest something like that…"

"W-Well, if that's how it is, then Makoto-kun can enjoy my body too." Elmen was defiant about it, and made a cute jealous face. "T-To think that I've been your friend for this long, and then Yumi-senpai comes in with her breasts being all, bouncy and then is trying to seduce my cute friend away from me. Indecent. Of course, I would also strip for Makoto-kun too."

Elmenhilde's face turns a dark red colour, but she had a resolute look in her eyes.

"Elmen-chan, I've never heard you speak so-"

PINCH!

"…Makoto-san…"

Like this, Asia pinches Makoto's cheek silently with an unpleasant face as he released an "Ouch!" sound, Asia unexpectedly had a very firm grip on his cheek, and it stung greatly, she was unexpectedly stronger than he thought that she was going to be.

"B-By the way, why are we here anyway!?"

Makoto wanted to change the subject, Asia allowing his cheek to be dropped.

"Aah! Yes! That's right Ma-tan! We need to have a familiar for you and Asia-chan! And that Ise-chan too! Though, they are different to us! Because of this, Ma-tan, and Asia-chan haven't had the chance to get a familiar lately!"

"A familiar…I've read about that from one of the books Sona-kaichou gave me. They are, creatures, that help out Devils with tasks. Like handing out leaflets, and other things. You can even have ones as bodyguards, and such things like that, is that right Sera-tan?"

"That's right! That's exactly it Ma-tan! You're very cute, and smart at the same time! Now, Rias-chan, show us your familiar girl!"

A red bat appeared on Buchou's palm after making a sound.

"This is my familiar, Ise, and the others that don't know about such things."

A bat which is the same colour as Buchou's hair. It had a noble atmosphere with only that.

"This one here is mine."

The thing Akeno summoned was something which looked like a palm-size Oni.

"…This is Shiro."

Koneko-chan was hugging a white kitten. Since her name is Koneko, her familiar is a kitten, and it made Makoto go gaga over the cat.

"Awwwwwwww! That thing is unexpectedly cute! She looks like a white version of Princess! Aww, I have found a cute little kitty like that! Can I touch it Koneko-chan!?"

"Access denied."

"Waaaah…that was unexpected."

Makoto's fell down as Koneko made her familiar disappear. Serafall adopted a cute face, patting Makoto on the top of his head.

"Don't worry Ma-tan, I will dress up in a cute outfit for you later~"

"How did you go from me petting a cute kitty to you dressing up!?"

Though he wasn't exactly against the idea, he wasn't going to reveal that as his face turned pink unexpectedly. Ise's perverted senses went off and directed them at Makoto. He couldn't be sure, but something about the red face Makoto had made Ise feel jealous.

"Fufu, it is simple my dear Ma-tan. Because I have these affectionate feelings for my Ma-tan, I definitely can go forward with a cute mentality. Also, it has to do with kitties. I could dress for Ma-tan in a cute kitty outfit!"

"N-No thanks! I'm okay!"

"Unexpectedly, I can feel a certain something poking-"

"Shhhh!"

Makoto covered Elmen's mouth as he blushed bright red.

"Ma-tan?" Serafall giggled out. "You're not like being a naughty boy and thinking of about bodies, are you Ma-tan?"

"N-No! B-But, what about your familiar Sera-tan?! Do you have one!?"

"Uuuu, you wouldn't want to meet my familiar~"

Makoto, and Asia shared a look as they gulped.

"W-Why's that?"

"Because my one is an insane one~ Hehehe, it seems like my own won't be able to appear yet, and Millicas-chan hasn't gotten one yet either. Weird, since Rias-chan has her bats, she should've gotten a camel instead."

At the mention of camels, Rias suddenly stiffened and looked down at the ground. Nervous sweat came from her body, and her hands shook at the same time. She looked, like she had seen a ghost, Akeno herself holding back a small giggle.

"Fufufu, best not bring that up around Buchou, she might cry."

"W-Why would she cry, Akeno-san?"

Akeno just sadistically giggled at Ise, and didn't say anything else.

Then, Serafall continued the explanation while smiling wildly.

"A familiar is a basic for Devils. They can help their masters. They can be used for information transmission. They can be used for persisting. You and Asia-chan also need one since it can be used for adapting to certain situations Ma-tan. However, since my familiar Master time is being occupied by the camel lover-"

"-I don't love camels-"

"-Rias-chan." Serafall continued as a tear came from Rias' eye. "We will have to make other arrangements. Since the Familiar Master-chan said that it was okay, I have decided to have that cutie pie that I got a lovely message off to have Ma-tan gain a contract. Seems like it was a good deal, since she was a very scary woman at the time of it happening."

"Other arrangements?" She nodded at Makoto's doubt. "Who is it that you've arranged exactly?"

A naughty expression appeared on Serafall's face as she giggled to herself as loud as she could do.

"Kukuku, it is a special girl that also deals with monsters and tames them with her spirit. She's actually someone you know quite well Ma-tan." Makoto didn't want to know now, if he was right after what she said. But then there was a knock at the door. "Ooh, here she is now~ Please come inside sweetheart~"

Makoto, and the others looked at the door as it opened.

As soon as it did, Makoto's fear was turned up to an insanely high degree, even to the highest it could go, more so when he was captured by the Fallen Angels, it was so high that Makoto was sure that he was going to die inside of his chest.

"NO! GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW Y-YOU FIEND!"

Makoto jumped up, catching Elmen and put her on the couch within the matter of seconds. She herself, was dazed as Makoto rushed behind Yumi, and made a cute cry come from him.

"Makoto-kyun! Don't run away so suddenly! I wanna cuddle you! You don't have to be scared! Even with the Devils wanting my soul, I'll give it to you! Definitely, you don't have to worry about something like that! I wanna hug you Makoto-kyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!"

The one who appeared, was Kiyome Abe, the beast tamer, and some would say, the Shota tamer too. She was dressed in a cute exploring outfit, and it looked tight fitting too. Makoto was actually surprised that she was there, and was very frightened when he could see her cleavage. Ise thought that it was a treat for the eyes, but Kiyome wasn't giving it to his eyes.

"Go away! Y-You're not needed! Your services are no longer required!"

Kiyome pouted, and rushed towards him, but Makoto stayed behind Yumi. Seeing the incoming Shotacon, Yumi made a sword, and pointed it towards her, so she wouldn't move forward.

"Don't touch him pervert."

"Shit..."

At sword point, Kiyome was conflicted.

"Ma-tan, don't be cruel. She's offering her time to help us around right now~"

"I don't need it! The last time I was left with her, sh-she did things to my bo-body! I-I was scared Sera-tan! C-Can't she go with Buchou-sans group or something!? I don't want any Shotacon today! Please don't allow her near me! S-She did many things to my Shota body Sera-tan! Please, I don't wanna be molestedddddddddddddddddddddddd!"

Adding to his already cute appeal, cute tears escaped his eyes, making both Asia, and Elmen give him a hug, as did Yumi.

"Don't worry Makoto-san, we won't allow anything to happen."

"S-She's right. She's a pervert, that can't touch your body anymore."

"As Makoto-kun's sword, I'll definitely stop her with my blades."

"Ugh!" Kiyome made a complaint. "I am RIGHT HERE you know!? Don't talk about me like I'm not here! I am not some weird messed up Shotacon!" Even Ise didn't believe that, so Kiyome relented. "I am here to do a job, thank you!"

"That's right Ma-tan! I think that this also needs to be addressed too! So, don't say anything about her not being able to do something like be naughty Ma-tan! She is going to help us, because Rias-chan stole our source of information from us and I might have to put on one girl two cups again which she really loves! So, I had to rely on Kiyome-chan here while offering a prize for her later on, and then you can cuddle my Ma-tan sometimes too, but go any further and I will have to hit you~"

Rias put a hand to her face, and felt like she was going to cry, Ise wondered what the hell one girl two cups actually was. Kiyome even felt scared as she didn't want to be hit by a Maou. But, she wasn't going to pass this opportunity up, he wasn't going to do something like that.

Serafall rolled her eyes, and took to her feet regardless, and made a magic circle appear on the ground.

"All aboard the magic circle! Next stop, the familiar forest! Ma-tan, Asia-chan, and whoever else is coming with us! Please hop aboard quickly before anything else happens! You know what I mean Ma-tan!? Let's go!"

While being fearful, Makoto walked to the circle with Asia clinging to him, Elmen doing the same thing. Yumi wished that she could go with Makoto, and so did Koneko. Yumi wanted to go because it was Makoto, and Koneko…because she didn't want to go with Ise anywhere, after what happened during the locker room fiasco.

Kiyome looked dissatisfied as she walked towards the circle.

"Oi, can't I hold onto you too Makoto-kyun?"

"Access denied."

Taking a page out of Koneko's book made her nod her head in agreement.

Then, Millicas walked to the circle too, and stayed together with Makoto too.

"Millicas? You aren't coming with me?"

Rias spoke with a worried face, but Millicas shook her head.

"I'm going to go with Makoto-san, if that's okay? If only for a witness for the Shotacon-san."

"Don't call me a Shotacon."

Millicas turned her dull eyes back towards her.

"Aren't you a Shotacon?"

Kiyome made teary eyes, and glared at her.

"That's got nothing to do with anything. If I am or not, doesn't matter right now. Shota's are justice. They are the universe and how everything should be. I mean, freaking hell are they cute. They fit fantastically on your body, they aren't stupid tall people that don't know how to treat women. The average Shota is a very kind boy that wants to spend time with Onee-sama."

"Again, I have many words for you, and none of them are Onee-sama."

"Mouuu, don't be cruel Shota-kun."

Makoto didn't say anything as Serafall equipped her magical wand.

"Let's go everyone!"

The light of the magical circle washed over them. Makoto looked towards with a pout as she waved at him kindly, he felt like he was going with the worst person right now, since it was Kiyome, he was going to die.


When the glow for the transport magic circle stopped, they were in an unfamiliar forest. It was thick with trees, and also had different types of trees too. It was vast, as far as Makoto could tell, and others weren't any wiser on how huge the familiar forest actually was, and they were unaware of the vines moving by themselves too.

Makoto with Elmen and Asia clung to Makoto tightly, as Millicas just stretched, looking around. Serafall herself looked happy, and Kiyome herself managed to get behind Makoto, she was strangely fast and was able to do something like that.

"Well, this is the familiar forest! Isn't that right Kiyome-chan!?"

"Yes, that's right. I come here sometimes, and I know many Devils come here too."

GROPE!

"Pervert!"

Makoto swatted Kiyome's hand away from his butt that she groped.

Kiyome backed away, rising a finger to her lips.

"I'm sorry, sometimes I can't control myself when I am getting excited."

Makoto was wary of her, and didn't trust her in the slightest.

"Sera-tan, why is it that you asked Abe-senpai to do this exactly? Isn't she a normal human? She knows about Devils, and I don't know much about her. I didn't get the chance to ask her right out last time so, what's going on with her."

"Eeh! Shota-kun! You could've asked me directly."

Makoto wanted little as much contact as he possibly could have, and didn't want to divulge anything about it.

Serafall giggled, and then pointed her finger towards Kiyome who looked dazed.

"She is a beast tamer!"

"Beast tamer?"

Makoto didn't really understand what that meant, beyond the obvious.

Kiyome giggled sweetly, and placed a hand on Makoto's butt…well, she tried, but he pulled away and stood behind Serafall, peaking out from behind her with a cute face on. Serafall was also thinking that Makoto was quite cute right now.

"That's right. I am a beast tamer, meaning that I can tame beasts, Youkai, and other things too. I actually have several beasts serving under me, and can fight for me too if the need arises, and I can also do other things, a special technique would be merging with them, but that's neither here nor there. I am aiming to become a beast taming master, it would be for the best. I have personally always wanted to tame a cute Dragon-kun too. That would be adorable."

Makoto smiled gently, but was also scared at the same time too because it was Kiyome, and he never knew what she was going to do with him.

Millicas coughed into her hand, and looked around.

"I went here when I was younger with Onee-sama, but even I don't know how large it is."

"Really, Millicas-san?"

Millicas nodded at Makoto's doubt, as Elmen spoke up.

"But wow, familiars huh. I wonder what you're going to get Makoto-kun?"

Kiyome clicked her fingers as if she recalled something.

"Now, what type of familiar do you desire sexy boy? Strong one? Fast one? Or one with poison?"

"W-Well, I don't know. I want something good, but what type do you recommend?"

Kiyome smiles at Makoto's question and gets out a thing that looks like a catalogue. The one she points at is a creature with great ferocity that is drawn out on the whole page.

"This is what I would recommend! One of the Dragon Kings! Chaos Karma Dragon, Tiamat! It's a legendary Dragon-chan type! It's also the only female among the Dragon Kings! Even until now, there hasn't been a Devil who has caught her yet! That would be obvious! Since it's said to be as strong as a Maou! I would go for her myself, but I wouldn't be able to do something like that because I simply don't have the power. But we have a familiar Maou-sama here, who does know her things, and stuff~ Get it? Familiar Maou-sama?"

Makoto, Millicas, and Elmen looked dryly at her, clearly not amused with the joke itself as it wasn't that funny to them.

"Pffft! Familiar Maou-sama!? That's hysterical! Well done Kiyome-chan! That's funny! And even I was included too! Thank you for being adorable Kiyome-chan! I have clearly misjudged you, and now see you as a potential ally!"

The one who laughed was the resident Maou herself.

"Hehehehe…that's really funny."

Even Asia laughed along with Serafall, Elmen slapping herself in the face.

"I surely do feel sad sometimes when in these people companies."

"Please endure a little longer Elmen-san."

Millicas comfortingly rubbed her back, Elmen shuddering herself.

Makoto rolled his eyes, and turned towards Kiyome seriously.

"This doesn't look like the level of a familiar, Abe-senpai! This isn't something that I want to have! I'd probably die if something like that comes for me! You do realize that I am just a normal Devil-kun, right!?"

"What? You have a Maou-sama here, I don't see anything wrong with that."

"She's right Ma-tan. Having a Tiamat-chan in the group would be good. She probably wouldn't do a normal familiar contract, but she'll become a pact partner, probably~ If we all go at her, then I am sure that we'll defeat her!"

"I can't! We can't! Remember, we fought Fallen Angels and that nearly killed me! What about fighting a Maou-sama's level opponent!? Even with a Maou-sama herself being here, I would die and the others would too!"

"He's right Serafall-sama, we really cannot fight something like this."

Millicas' words of warning's weren't heeded, and Serafall pointed at Kiyome.

"Where is she Kiyome-chan?!"

"Well, according to my data…" Kiyome looked through a cell phone type device clearly. "…she should be at the base of the mountain towards the east. It is said that she would be able to stay there, and have people approach her, though she didn't have anyone have her beforehand. But, if we head east towards the mountain, I am sure that we'd find her or something like that. Yeah, we could do something like that?"

"Good! Then Ma-tan! Time to capture Tiamat-chan!"

"W-Wait!"

Makoto complained but it was on deaf ears.

Serafall, disregarding anything else, pushed the entire group forward. The more sane members felt uneasy about this, but they didn't have a choice with the Maou basically forcing them to go. They just hoped that she would be in a talkative mood.


"W-While we're walking towards our deaths, Abe-senpai. Why don't you tell us what others we could've had?"

Makoto hated saying that, but that's how he honestly felt, and so did the other sane members too. Serafall though was quite optimistic.

"Hahaha! I see, then how about this one? Hydra!"

Makoto was shown the illustration of a gigantic serpent with many heads. It has sharp eyes, sharp fangs and there is a poisonous mark of a skeleton on the illustration. There are actually skulls around the serpent in this illustration.

Kiyome looked proud, and continued on while smirking devilishly.

"This one is amazing! It has deadly poison! There are no Devils in this World which can endure its poison! On top of that it is immortal! The worst creature in the World which even kills its master! See? Pretty useful right? I think that if Makoto-kyun got something like this, it would've been cute too~ But, Tiamat-chan is clearly the way to go. She's a pretty cute blue Dragon, don't you think? She's quite adorable."

"And she can incinerate me, probably anyway. And if not, from that picture alone, she looked like she was going to murder anything that would happen to come across her."

"Well, that's neither here nor there." Kiyome weighed her hands up and down, Makoto and the others pouting. "But like, it seems like you're not satisfied, are you? Which one would you want to have exactly?"

"W-Well…I don't know, maybe that wouldn't be able to kill me?"

"I also want a cute familiar."

Asia says while hiding behind Makoto.

"Well, that would be a cute response from the Asia-chan of the first year girls. Yeah, well I don't think that it is going to happen like that. However, I do remember that on the way to the mountain, there is a certain set of water seirei there. Yeah, we should head there first Serafall-sama. It isn't going to turn out of us from our destination of the Dragon King, though it will take us to a lake."

"Uaaah! Sure! I don't mind!"

Like that, Makoto and the others went forward towards a lake…


"Listen up, seirei gather around this lake."

Kiyome says it with a small voice.

There is a spacious clear lake in front of them. It is glittering with sparkles, and it seems like a very sacred lake. They are hiding in the shadows near the lake while hiding their presence. Makoto himself was close to Elmen who kept looking at his neck…he felt weirded out by that.

"Yes, the water seirei, Undine, living in this lake doesn't show themselves in front of others."

According to Kiyome, the water seirei Undine is a maiden with a pure heart and beautiful body. On top of that they heal your broken heart. But, Makoto was iffy at best. This girl thought that a cactus was an ideal present for a meeting, so he wasn't sure what they were going to think about.

"S-So, these familiar things, they aren't insane or anything, right?"

Makoto asked in a small voice, to which Serafall gained a wide smile.

"I don't think that they are insane anyway~ It would be cute if they were though, right? Don't you think that insanity makes things cuter?"

Makoto didn't answer that…he couldn't answer something like that. It just seemed too amazing for him to answer it.

"Oh, the lake started glowing. Undine should make its appearance."

Kiyome pointed towards the lake. They looked towards the direction Kiyome pointed, with joy.

And the one that appeared was a being with light-blue hair sparkling like lights, who was wearing a transparent robe over its… gigantic body. The insane biceps, the calves which were thicker than Makoto's and Serafall's waists combined, and the chest which looks like it has metal inside it, and like a veteran warrior it has many scars on its face.

"I knew it was going to be something like this…"

Makoto sighed out, as Kiyome winked adorably.

"That is Undine. Isn't she the sexist thing that you've ever seen? Screw with Rias-chan and the others, I think that this one is very sexy indeed. I have to admit though, this is the best thing that I have ever seen in my entire life."

Makoto made a disgusted face as Kiyome put her hands together sweetly.

Millicas pulled on Makoto's sleeve, getting his attention.

"Your friend is really weird, Makoto-san. Doesn't she see the same male type to the extreme that we're seeing?"

"She sees what she wants to see, and doesn't allow anything else to stop her. I wouldn't worry Millicas-san."

Millicas made a complicated face, and just held onto his sleeve.

"Hehehe, I always thought that Undine were cute…this ugly thing looks like something out of a very scary manga about buff men fighting for the right to fight. Uuugh, I don't think this one would be good for you Makoto-kun, it looks unclean to my eyes."

Elmen made a disgusted face and looked away as Asia had stars in her eyes.

Makoto briefly regarded her, but turned to Kiyome as she talked strongly.

"Yeah, Undine always have a battle while having their territory on the line. If you aren't strong, you wouldn't be able to get the lake. The World of the Seirei is also about power. But it sure is a strong looking seirei. That is quite rare. I recommend you catch it. A water seirei specialising in punching sure won't be bad. It would add to your power attacks Makoto-kyun. I was told that you also have the power to use ice? Then why don't you do something like this? I think that it would be good too."

"Too bad it isn't a healing type…though I think that Ise-nii might like a girl like this who is pure punching power and with the amazing biceps and such things like that…"

"Because he's into roid raging girls! Clearly why he has gone for Rias-senpai~"

Elmen and Makoto shared a laugh together as Serafall gained a cute pout.

"Ma-tan, Elmen-chan. Don't be cruel. She doesn't have outer beauty, it is true. But her soul is beautiful. Just looking at her, I can tell that she is a very beautiful lady, don't you think the same thing Ma-tan?"

Makoto shook his head as Asia pulled on his sleeve.

"But she has pure eyes too Makoto-san. I'm sure she is a girl with a pure heart as well."

"Asia-chan understands me!"

Serafall grasped Asia's hands tightly, and held them as they both overflowed with happy tears.

"Y-Yes! I understand! She's a very beautiful girl inside of her body! And because she doesn't have a good body, it doesn't mean her soul isn't beautiful! Life is precious, and loving too! So, this girl is also a very lovely person."

"Please don't call that thing a girl…it is very offensive to our gender…"

Elmen stopped when both Asia, and Serafall looked towards her.

She whimpered, and sat near Makoto, as to not invoke the wrath of the girl before her.

"Geez, Serafall-sama, and Asia-san take it very seriously, don't they?"

Millicas murmured, Makoto nodding, and putting some distance away from them.

"Every sane person for themselves here."

"To f-ing true."

Elmen finalized as Kiyome noticed something.

"Ah, another one has appeared."

The other one that appeared, looked exactly like the same one, but even more insane muscles.

Elmen put a hand to her face, and she began shedding tears.

"U…Uoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh…..!"

"Elmen-chan…"

Makoto comforted Elmen as she hugged onto him for support.

"I don't like it. It is very offending to my gender, and even males too! That thing should disappear forever!"

"Don't call her a thing!"

Serafall snapped at Elmen who shed more tears, clinging to Makoto for dear life. Makoto could only pet the back of her head, and stroke it gently, Millicas whimpering too, so he hugged her too, giving her head a good stroke.

"Oh, look. Seems like a war is about to happen."

Kiyome points at the lake. When they look, the two big build Undine are glaring at each other. You can sense the hostility between them, and the space between them bended with their 'Touki'. That's what Makoto heard it was called anyway.

The thick fist nailed into their opponent's stomach, or the uppercut cracked the opponent's chin. One of them low-kicked the opponent's calves making an explosive sound, and the straight punched nailed deeply into the opponent's face. Both of them started bleeding from every part of their body. They started showing an intense battle of hitting each other. The sacred lake now turned into a battle stadium.

"It's the fight for the territory. And both of them look like warriors with lots of experience. Good, good, I have wanted to see something like this since I was younger. This is a rare sight Makoto-kyun, you should be pleased that something like this also happens."

Kiyome started shaking her head and seemed very interested in it.

"Fight for the territory… Shouldn't they fight in a more 'fantasy' way? Isn't there any magic used by seirei and stuff?"

"After all, violence is the answer Ma-tan."

"This isn't something that I want to hear Sera-tan! I don't like this!"

Makoto gave his real thoughts.

But Kiyome just snickered, and looked right forward.

"Hahaha! Look, Makoto-kyun! The victor will be your familiar! The ultimate fight of Undine! It's a wonderful adventure indeed! Oh! They certainly show a rare way of punching! This is good Makoto-kyun! I am hoping that this would be amazing for me to see, don't you think something like that would be an amazing sight to see!?"

Kiyome says it with enjoyment while patting on Makoto shoulder.

"Ooh yeah, that's something that…I DON'T WANT! ABE-SENPAI! DON'T ALLOW ME TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS!"

"How about we n-name her Dine-chan the Undine?"

Asia says that while being scared and watching the battle in front of them.

"Asia-chan, that's a cute thing to say, but these creatures wouldn't suit someone as cute as you. Even with the soul of the cute girl, she simply isn't a cute girl. Asia-chan would get stained in blood with things like this. You know things like that, right Asia-chan? You can't have something like that."

"Oh…so, Dine-chan would be bad for me?"

Makoto placed his hands on Asia's shoulders, and looked serious.

"Asia-chan, if you don't have that crea…eeh, that pure maiden over there, I will do anything that you want. I'm serious, that creature isn't a good thing for you Asia-chan, she's a bad girl that needs to stop and walk away from it forever and ever."

Asia's face suddenly turned red as she poked her fingers together shyly.

"S-So, Makoto-san will also go with me anywhere, yes? E-Even to the shops?"

"Hahaha. Is that all? Of course we can go shopping Asia-chan! S-So, you don't want Dine-chan, right?"

"No! I am content now!"

It seemed Asia changed quickly, and Makoto was immensely relieved that it happened like that.


However, that soon stopped when a woman walked on by…

At first, Makoto thought that he was seeing things.

Like he was going out of his mind.

But no, he wasn't.

In the end, he wasn't going out of his mind, because there was a woman that was near the lake, wearing a shrine maiden's outfit. She looked beautiful, with long blonde golden hair that went down her back. Flurry ears came out of her head, and she had nine large beautifully decorated golden tails behind her that reminded Makoto of a fox. And her body…well, she was very endowed, possibly even more so than Akeno herself.

She looked to be lost, and didn't know where to go either.

"Wh-Who's that anyway?"

Makoto pointed forward towards the woman, as Serafall looked, and her mouth became agape.

"H-Holy shit…I mean, I didn't expect this!"

"You know her Sera-tan?"

Asking with a curious face, Makoto didn't get an answer from the Maou girl who just looked on with a cheery smile on her face.

But Kiyome had her eyes widened.

"N-No way…! It couldn't be her, could it!? The shrine maiden's outfit, and the tails! And the waves of power that are coming off her! It has to be! Yes, I have always wanted to ask her something amazing! Yes, this has to be it! I've got to ask her to be mine! Mwhahahahaha!"

Kiyome disregarded everything, and rushed forward while flailing her arms.

"Ooh no…she's gonna get herself killed."

Millicas sighed out, Makoto agreeing with her while nodding.

Elmen giggled to herself, and murmured "Is that a bad thing?" but that was soon stopped when Makoto and Millicas looked towards her. Asia herself hid behind Makoto, and was worried on what was going to happen.

"G-Get your hands off me!"

The woman said, pushing Kiyome away with her tails.

"Aaah! Please! I wanna feel the fluffiness of the leader of Kyoto! You are, aren't you?! That's who you are, right!?"

"G-Get back or I will burn you!"

The woman commanded, and allowed some fire to appear at the tip of her tails. Makoto himself was shocked as Kiyome pulled away, and rushed forward together with the worried Millicas and Elmen, Serafall sighing as she also walked forward, together with a troubled Asia.

"Shit! Makoto-kyun! Help me!"

Kiyome rushed behind Makoto, and looked on as the woman looked over them.

"Well, it seems like there are some…" She looked towards Makoto, and her eyes widened, even tears coming from her eyes. "Ouji-samaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Ouji-sama! That's really Ouji-sama, isn't it!? All of these years, and I didn't know if you were dead or alive!? This is a miracle! This is amazing! Things like this do happen sometimes! Ouji-sama has returned!"

The woman suddenly lost all control, and rushed at Makoto, hugging him very tightly as Serafall's eyes slowly narrowed, and not in a cute playful manner too.

"Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! What's going on!?"

The woman's hands went all over Makoto's back, as she nuzzled against him.

"W-What are you doing to my Makoto-kyun bitch!?"

Kiyome was about to go forward when Serafall stopped her with a tap of her wand, knocking her down to the ground as gently as she possibly could do.

"It has to be! Ouji-sama has returned! Ouji-sama! It has been so many…" The woman stopped when she looked at the confused Makoto, the girls giving a large glare as his face was red from her oversized bust pressing against him. "…Ouji-sama? Y-You look…shocked? Something wrong Ouji-sama?"

"W-Why are you calling me that? A-And who are you? I don't know you…do I? I don't think that I do…"

The fox woman took in a breath, and then in a strange turn around, she bowed her head towards Makoto.

"Apologies, you probably wouldn't remember me Ouji-sama. My name is Yasaka. I am the leader of Kyoto."

"Oh...y-you're the leader of Kyoto!?"

"S-So, this is Yasaka-sama!?"

Millicas cried out with shock, but Yasaka ignored her, the dazed Asia, the same dazed Elmenhilde, and the worried looking Serafall.

"That's right, I am the leader of Kyoto, but you are also…" She stopped when Serafall gave her a distinctive look. "…w-well, you do look different…relation to Ouji-sama? I-It is true that it was years ago when it happened and you don't seem to be using magic to appear as a teenager or anything, but even then you always did look young…w-who are you again…?"

"R-Relation to me…w-wait, do you know like my real Otou-sama, or Ojii-sama or something!? Even an uncle or something!? Y-You know someone from my past, don't you?! That's right, isn't it? Y-You actually know someone from…y-you know my parents…?"

Yasaka looked towards Serafall who just looked right back at her.

Yasaka then turned back to Makoto, and smiled weakly.

"Well…probably not your parents, this was quite few years ago now. Maybe, your Ojii-sama? But if you are still the descendant of that man, I shall still call you Ouji-sama all the same, if that's fine Ouji-sama?"

"S-Sure…b-but you think that this, man and I are, related somehow?"

"Most definitely. You have too many coincidences to be simple lookalikes."

"R-Right…t-then, please tell me anything about this man! I-If he was my Ojii-sama, then I would also want to know about him too…p-please, I don't know if my parents are alive or dead, and I don't know why they left me, s-so if I could find something out about them, about anyone in my family, then please tell me!"

The desperation in his voice was very shocking, even Elmen was surprised by how desperate he sounded.

He didn't speak about it, but pretty much everyone came to the conclusion that Makoto must've thought about it a lot, why he was left with the Hyoudou, where he really was from, when quite clearly, he wasn't Japanese in appearance.

Yasaka looked troubled on how to respond…but then she smiled, and bent down to his level.

"The man that I met was a very kind, yet aloof man who went through many hardships. He was a very powerful young man that would defend anyone with his powers, despite being in constant pain. He was, a lost soul too. Someone that didn't have a place in the world, yet still lived regardless because he knew that he had the power to influence the world, and did so for the better when life was very hard for him, you remind me very much of that person."

"Wow…s-so, what was he…? Human…o-or something else…? D-Does that mean I am part…something else too?"

"Well, I couldn't answer that because I don't know. This man didn't tell me about himself, I only met him a handful of times, and that was only when there was a crisis. All I do know was he was a very strong, and kind person, and if you're even a fraction of that man, then I would happily call you Ouji-sama too."

Serafall looked away as the others were enamoured by what Yasaka was talking about.

"Wow…s-some hype there…w-what was his name, can you tell me…?"

"Hmmm, it has been so long…his name was…I don't recall."

Serafall looked back at Yasaka briefly, and met her eyes once again.

Makoto didn't notice that, and put his hands together.

"So, what happened to him? Is he…gone from this world?"

"He's…I can't be sure, honestly. He could be dead, or alive. That's why I was surprised to see you. And that…wa-wait! Damn it! Ugh! With distraction from Ouji-sama, I forgot about Kunou!"

"Who's Kunou-san?"

Elmen asked with an interested look on her face.

"Kunou is my daughter…y-you haven't happened to come across her, right? I was here to visit an old friend, but some stupid creature attacked us, and we got separated somehow. I took my eyes off her for a few moments, and then she just disappeared. I know she's in the forest though, I can sense that much. But this damn place is so rich with different energies, I can't get an exact location on her."

"We're sorry, we haven't seen her." Serafall ceded to her sadly. "But, we're gonna go and visit Tiamat-chan now, and ask her to be Ma-tans familiar!" Making sure she knew who that was, Serafall placed hands on Makoto's shoulders. "Since she like lives here, and she knows the terrain of this place, she might know where your daughter is?"

"Yes, I had forgotten that! We should all go together!"

Since Serafall didn't have any complaints, she took Yasaka by the hand, and walked forward with her.

"Follow after us gang!"

Serafall and Yasaka walked afar, and seemed to be discussing something.

Makoto looked on for a few moments, before Elmen tapped his hand.

"Makoto-kun, are you okay? It seems like you just learned something about your family…a-are you going to be okay? It sounded like he was a good person."

"Y-Yes, Makoto-san! This Ojii-sama of yours seems to be strong, if he was Ojii-sama of yours, and I know Makoto-san is strong too! Must be genetics or something, yes?"

Asia added as she took his hand, Elmen holding the other one.

"Don't worry Makoto-san, we'll help you with your parents too."

"Ooh! Include me too~"

Millicas wrapped her arms around one of Makoto's arms, and Kiyome did the other (the last one he didn't want to do) but he appreciated it all the same, nodding his head, and walked forward with the other girls, not saying anything about it.

Makoto, and the others travelled towards the mountain as Yasaka and Serafall talked.

Makoto, and the others didn't know what was going on with them, but it seemed to be a serious discussion.


However, they eventually arrived at a certain place…the mountain.

Yasaka and Serafall were stood before it, and the others were behind them. Because of the intimidating atmosphere, Makoto was worried and put Asia behind him, Kiyome naturally following after her, and stayed behind Makoto.

Elmen and Millicas were both on high alert, as was Makoto. Elmen had her fangs at the ready as Millicas had some of her famed power in her hands. Makoto hadn't summoned his Sacred Gear yet, not wanting to appear threatening, but since this was a Dragon, he was worried on what was going to happen.

"Who dares come to my part of this forest!?"

A loud boisterous voice made Makoto, and the others barring the two adults wince.

"Yo! Tiamat-chan! It's me, Serafall! Come out for a bit and let's talk!"

Makoto was sure that wasn't going to work…

But then, from the opening in the mountain, a large Dragon came out. A beautiful blue coloured Dragon, and she had a large body. It easily dwarfed all of them. He didn't know how tall she actually was, but she could probably dwarf tall buildings.

Her eyes looked around until they landed on Serafall.

"Maou Leviathan, what could you possibly want?"

Noticing it was Serafall, she didn't seem to be that hostile, though there was a certain something in the air too. Like, it was something scary, Makoto wasn't sure what was going to happen now with regards to this person before them.

"Yo! Tiamat-chan! Got a question for you!"

The Dragon named Tiamat didn't look pleased, and just looked at her.

"What, could you want Serafall?"

"Before that, Serafall-san." Yasaka interrupted. "I need to ask about my daughter." Yasaka looked towards Tiamat. "Tiamat-san, can I ask you if a young fox girl has come by here? I lost my daughter in this forest when being attacked, and I haven't been able to find her. Could you please help me find her? If you know where she is, that is?"

Tiamat got into a thinking pose as Makoto himself looked on with a worried face, and was slowly doubting that this Dragon was going to become his familiar. It just seemed like it wasn't going to happen, and he didn't know why, but he felt a little upheaved on everything that was happening around him now.

"I, currently do not know where this girl is." Tiamat shattered Yasaka's hopes. "I, would say that she isn't that far, but even I cannot single out a person within this forest. Too many creatures exist here, and it simply isn't possible for this to be sensed."

Yasaka released a breath, and sighed.

It didn't seem like she was lying, she was telling the truth, from what he could tell, though he didn't like it anymore than anything else, and only wished for Kunou to be safe, he wished that she was going to be safe.

"Now, Serafall, speak."

Serafall nodded, and pointed at her seriously…well, as serious as she could be.

"Yeah! I got my Queen before, you know not that long ago, and we need a familiar for him. If you could be adorable, and become my Queen's familiar, then I would be really appreciative of that, I would be extremely happy, so what do you say? Wanna become my adorable Queen's familiar?"

She didn't even hesitate to ask.

That was Serafall though, she'd ask anything like that outright.

"You do realize how outlandish that sounds, Serafall? Even if it is your Queen, only the best could ever become my partner. And I have rejected Devils of the past, because they weren't worthy enough for me to fight against."

"Ooh! My Queen is the best though! Can't you find it in your icy heart to become my Queen's partner, familiar, whatever you want? It would be good for his social standing, and it would be really good if you did become my Queen's familiar!"

Tiamat released a large sigh, and slowly nodded her head.

"Who is your Queen?"

Serafall went towards Makoto, and pushed him forward towards her.

Makoto shyly waved at her, Tiamat looking down at him.

As soon as she saw him, Tiamat's eyes changed, and lowered her face towards him. Slowly, Makoto felt less and less courageous, and felt danger to his body. Her large nostrils breathed out, pushing his hair and other things around.

"It's you…"

"M-Me…?"

Tiamat growled, thrusting her arm forward, and captured his body, lifting it off the ground. She was so fast that she was snatched right away, and not even Serafall could react in time to save him from the large Dragon.

"H-Hey! Leave my friend alone!"

Elmenhilde went to go and grab him back off her, but Tiamat released a breath of fire.

"Don't attack her Tiamat!"

Yasaka got in the way just in time, and blocked the flames with her hand, forcing them to go into the sky and light it up.

"T-Thank you."

Elmen bowed her head as Asia looked on, worried for what was going to happen to Makoto himself.

"Hey! Get off my Queen!"

"Makoto-san!"

Serafall and Millicas were going to hit her so she would release Makoto before she could do something with his body, but Tiamat took to the sky, and flew high, and fast.

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!"

Makoto screamed as loud as he could as Serafall flew upwards, the others crying out for Makoto to be released. However, Tiamat breathed out a large sea of flames, and even Serafall was startled, raising several magical circles to defend herself, and the others at the same time.

"Oi, boy, stop yelling."

Tiamat commanded, Makoto stiffening his body.

"W-Why are you doing this all of a sudden? W-What's going on? If you don't want to become my familiar, then you don't have to attack me! We'll just leave if that's what you want, just don't kill me for something like this!"

He didn't want to die in the end.

Obviously he didn't want to die, he was too scared to think rationally right now, he just knew that something was going to happen to him if he didn't get out of this situation somehow, he didn't want something to happen to him.

"I am not going to attack you, there's no point in such things now. But you do realize that this…shouldn't happen, don't you?"

"W-What do you mean?"

Tiamat leaned closer towards him, and her large eyes made him feel sick.

"You...you do realize that you shouldn't be here, it is too dangerous. Why are you here now?"

"D-Dangerous…"

"LET GO OF MY MA-TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

Serafall came up with Yasaka and fired off a combo of ice and flames.

"Aaargh!"

Because she wasn't expecting it, Tiamat got hit by the attack, and released her hand.

Because of the smoke that the attack created, Serafall, and the others were blind to where Makoto fell, and since he wasn't a Devil that could fly yet, he was basically falling down to the ground at full speed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Makoto screamed…

He couldn't stop screaming as he fell down.

He did everything that he could to slow himself down, flapping his arms, and other things too. But it didn't do anything. He even brought out his Devil wings, but he couldn't make them work for him that well, and just continued falling down to the ground.

This was it…

Makoto knew that he was going to die…

He felt like he was going to die anyway…

He didn't know what he was going to do.

He couldn't do anything, he was going to die…

But then he remembered something.

Trees were before him, and a bird like creature flew past him, and an idea came to his mind.

"SACREDDD GEARRRRRRRRRR!"

He yelled for his Sacred Gear, and it came to his side.

Without even commanding it, the bird like creature flapped its wings, and appeared before Makoto himself, and landed on his feet.

Forcing his body upwards, he slowly, but surely was beginning to slow his crashing to the ground.

"Gwaaaah!"

But that wasn't meant to be as his body had gone far to down, and his body collided with a high tree branch, forcing his feet off the bird, and was sent smashing towards the ground, breaking several trees in the process.

He then landed on the ground with a thud. Though his body wrecked with pain, he felt like he was going to be okay, for the most part. He had a splitting headache, but surprising, he also had the same thing that meant he was going to be okay.

BREAK! BREAK! BREAK!

"Eeeeeeegh?!"

Makoto was suddenly shocked as the ground below him began opening up.

It wasn't enough to swallow him, but he did attempt to stand up…

But then vines came out of the ground, and wrapped around his limbs.

"H-Hey! Get off me! Get off! Get off meeeeeeeeeeee!"

Because of his fall, he was still feeling dizzy. However, he used his Rook's strength to rip off the vines the best that he could. His arms and legs though kept getting bound, and then it went around his neck, and smashed his head against the ground, knocking him even more dizzy.

Then, the ground opened up even more, and a vine wrapped around Makoto's neck, strangling him as he was dragged down into the depths of despair…
