Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

Justin D; He surely did yeah, and Makoto showed Yubelluna what's what. They will do, it was even mentioned that they will do. Ah, sorry but no, it isn't. There is someone that tags along with Odin at this time, and that person is quite the Valkyrie. Yeah, it sounds great to me. Yup, she'll be appearing again eventually. Well, he is a Japanese raised kid, and loves anime and such, he would of course know Gundam, and such things like that. He's not really jealous at all, he's just happy Ise managed to get Rias back. Yeah, it could be~ Thank you!

hellspam; Yup, quite the conclusion huh! I thought it would be in Makoto's character to stop it from going too far, unlike during the Rating Game were he couldn't do it. Well, you won't have to wait long for that, as Ravel appears in this chapter, along with Rossweisse! Hehe, I could see Makoto saying that alright~

Kenshin135; Grayfia addresses everyone like that, higher or lower status of herself. Check out the LN, she does it with everyone, regardless of status. Devils, non-Devils, and even others of other species that aren't of a high rank at all.

Blue Eyes Pendulum Dragon; Yeah, I could see them being quite like that. She is, she is quite like his type, and you'll see how, the chemistry between them is this chapter. Yeah, she surely does, and he will be getting a sword in the future, it is going to be a good interesting type of blade.

Harem Master123; Thanks very much! Hehe, he was...very speechless to say the least~ Princess got the frightening people down huh~? Well, you never know, she very well might be impressed with him. Cool suggestions!

Dragonsayianblue; Yup, that's the end, and we're moving onto another arc, though this is more filler, but also important to the story going forward. Yeah, they had a good fight, didn't they? It was yeah, she plays mean jokes on Makoto, he almost died from a heart attack or something like that. Hehe, being chased by Princess for a Halloween type chapter huh, maybe I might do if I get the time. She is yeah, and Rossweisse shall be appearing. I suppose she could do yeah. Indeed, lucky me~

DocSlendy; Asia certainly thinks so.

Nivek Beldo; Yup, Mittelt helped out in her own, special way. Yeah, he thought knowing he can't fully get involved. Yeah, Ise has that way about him, doesn't he? He did yeah, it's one of Ise's cooler moments in the series. I thought they'd be at least a little peeved in the actual LN, but they didn't do anything, though in this Yubelluna did, and went to try and get Ise, fortunately Makoto stepped in, releasing some pent up anger that he held. Yeah, Serafall really did lay down a huge near fatal attack on Makoto like that, he nearly died. It was, but she might be in the future. Princess steals every show she's in~ They are yeah, and they will be...though knowing Serafall, she might want many weird things. Hehe, that's Serafall for you, making an uncomfortable Makoto feel even weirder about it. Yeah, for this chapter, we'll be meeting the pervy God himself, and Rossweisse too! And thank you!

Anime PJ; Aah thanks there, friend! It was yeah, no need to really change it, save for the comments from Makoto, and the gang. That would be pretty funny actually, wouldn't it? They are just so adorable, especially Asia, and her ways~ Princess, she's now turning into a Queen with her powers, huh. She even managed to take down Rias, a High Class Devil. It is gonna be yeah~ That would be pretty cool, gotta admit that. And here's next time!

Mrgamerandwatcher; That's our Princess for you~

Vizard Issei; Hehe, it would do yeah~ Yup, you won't be wrong, that's who it is. Here's the next chapter!

ShadowUzumaki55; It was yeah, that's one of Ise's moments, Makoto nor anyone was gonna get involved, but we saw it from mainly Makoto's POV and what he was thinking and feeling about the fight. He did yeah, he showed her whats what, and didn't back down for even a second, that's how Makoto is~ Maybe she could do yeah, would be funny. He isn't, but he wants Ise to be happy, so he'll put up with it, but he did say what he said, he won't have Rias hurting Ise in anyway, or any of the girls, and it is the same for Ise regarding Makoto. Exactly, that's why Makoto was shocked, and even a little angry, but he doesn't mind sharing with Asia, she's a beautiful girl after all, so of course he isn't gonna mind, and he likes Asia a lot. Indeed, she's living with Princess...she needs a bodyguard.

Primevere; Thanks very much! Yeah, it does, otherwise it would've been just basically a LN copy, and I wanted Ise's fight to be the same, but not just that fight, and this way, it shows that Makoto will defend Ise when he needs to, and can do, and also shows that he isn't going to allow people to get away with hurting his peerage members. Princess strikes indeed, don't mess with this cat, she'll get you. And thanks! Yeah, I thought so anyway~

Guest 1; Thank you! Yeah, that's the mystery, how did she? Yah maybe he could do that in the future~ It would be interesting, huh~? He is becoming stronger.

UsagiAngelRabbit; Aah, thanks very much! Princess is...something alright, they haven't figured what that is yet though. He can be when he wants to be huh. Yeah, the new arc is gonna be quite, interesting to say the least.

yoga pratama; Yeah, maybe if I could somewhere, then I might do that yeah~ I haven't watched that series, so I wouldn't be able to say yes or no honestly. When I get around to it, then if I like it, I'll consider it yeah.

Naroku; Thanks very much, I'll try my best!

tyson113; It was quite dark wasn't it? That's Princess for you. That's strange? Most Sacred Gear's don't have voices like that. And thanks!

shadow; Aah, thank you very much~

Cf96; Thanks very much!

Guest 2; That would be quite the idea, yeah, I don't see why not. Yeah, okay, I'll think it over~

Guest 3; I don't see why not, sure~

Guest 4; Yeah, that would be a nice voice for him~

Tohka123; Thanks very much! She does yeah, that cat frightens anyone that she wishes too hehe~ It is yeah, Mittelt doesn't know the meaning of holding back. Hehe, she did yeah~ He does yeah, he showed his stuff, and so did Makoto as well, showing why you don't mess with the people that he cares for. No, she couldn't continued to hurt him, so she just said that she lied~ Princess...how does she do these things? Indeed, it's quite important~ Yeah, they're gonna need some renovations. Princess is gonna enjoy many things~ They do, and then Serafall drops the bombshell. And thanks!

Neonlight01; Thanks, yeah they did quite the cute dance huh~ I did indeed, otherwise it would've been just Makoto watching the fight. They've moved in, they are gonna need to renovate, and yeah, no one, beside Ise, will believe her that she attacked like that. Yeah, it is gonna set something's up for later.

Guest 5; Hehe, I could see that happening yeah in a future chapter~

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


Meeting of the God, and Maou-sama!

It was an average day for Makoto. Get up, go to school, and do normal activities. He was glad for it, after everything that had happened during the past month or so. The Fallen Angels, the Devils Zephyrdor, and Riser.

He was just glad that he could relax.

"Say "Aaah!" Makoto-kun~"

Akeno sang out as she held chopsticks towards his mouth, a piece of meat on the end.

"A-Aaah."

He allowed Akeno to feed him some of the meat that she had.

Today, it was just him and Akeno together within the clubroom. She had called him over, and said that she needed to talk about something important. Since he didn't have anything else to do, and was genuinely intrigued by Akeno, he decided to check out what was going on.

But when he arrived…all they ended up doing was having lunch together.

"A-Akeno-senpai…"

Makoto called as Akeno inched closer on the couch.

"Yes, my cute Kohai?"

She answered the call while feeding him some more.

"I-I just wondered what it was that you needed? Your message seemed urgent."

"Oh, it was urgent."

Akeno spoke with a serene look on her face, yet the ever so slightest of hints that she was teasing him.

"W-What was it then?"

"I wanted to play with Makoto-kun for a little while~ Because the others hog Makoto-kun all for themselves. Yumi-chan is the biggest offender, but Koneko-chan has also recently began doing the same thing, they are naughty people, aren't they?"

"N-Naughty…?"

Akeno giggled to herself as she leaned ever closer. Her lips parted, leaning closer and closer. Makoto gasped as Akeno laid a kiss against his cheek, wrapping her arms around his body and brought him closer towards her.

"I have always thought that boys all look the same, but Makoto-kun is different. He's cute, yet manly at the same time. What you did during the Rating Game got me hot between these breasts of mine, and I can't simply dissolve the feeling inside of me either."

Makoto's face turned a bright red colour, unable to speak properly as Akeno leaned closer.

Her large breasts became his focus when she brought his head closer, and closer. Unable to fight back (not that he was trying hard) his head laid upon her breast, as a giggle came from Akeno.

"Ara, ara. Makoto-kun's body pressed against my own. It's different from hugging a girl. Fufu, Makoto-kun, do you want to experiment with me?"

"E-Experiment?"

It was like there was a frog in his throat, he stared at her with an uneven gaze, mixed with desire and confusion.

"That's right my cute Makoto-kun, I'd like to play with you a little while. Yumi-chan gets to play with Makoto-kun all of the time, and makes me feel jealous. I want to play with Makoto-kun for a little while…say, I've got an idea, want to hear it?"

"W-W-What's that A-Akeno-senpai…?"

Akeno took one of Makoto's fingers, and ran her tongue up and down it. He hitched his breath as she caressed his finger with her tongue. Just her tongue alone was enough to send his mind into a daze, the soft, and wet feeling of her tongue couldn't be more perfect.

"Ise-kun has Rias sucking his finger, to get the Dragon power away so he can appear human. Want me to suck you?" Makoto's face brightened up with embarrassed, yet desire at the same time, Akeno giggling. "How lewd, I didn't even say your finger then. Though if Makoto-kun is a good boy, I could suck on, something else…"

Akeno's eyes went down his body suggestive, plopping his finger right into her mouth, sucking on it like she was sucking information out of him.

He wished this wasn't the time that he got turned out, as it was pretty obvious by the way his pants moved that there was something going on inside there, but that only fuelled Akeno on.

"Fufu, does Makoto-kun junior want to come out and play?"

"N-No!" He used his free hand to cover his crotch as she giggled dirtily. "W-We don't have to talk about such things!"

Akeno laid a kiss on his finger, then she began running up his body with her hand. He was frozen as she continued doing what she was doing. Her gentle touch and nature were very telling of how he was feeling. When her hand reached his face, her fingers ran across his lips, brushing them ever so delicately.

"You need to be more honest Makoto-kun. Honestly, if Makoto-kun asked, I would embrace Makoto-kun and allow him to touch my boobs. Is that what you'd desire Makoto-kun? Like Ise-kun, you must be a little bit naughty too, right?"

"I-I…"

Makoto tried to speak, but she grabbed his hand, and used it to place it on her breast. Though it was covered with her shirt, and bra, the feeling of softness, and elasticity didn't escape his mind either. The sheer size was unlike anything he had touched before.

"Fueee, Makoto-kun's hand is the best, touching my boob. No man has ever touched my breast before, are you interested in seeing what's underneath this shirt of mine Makoto-kun? I think you might like what you see~"

"I-I couldn't Akeno-senpai, that's indecent…a-and Sera-tan and Yumi-senpai would be…"

"Wouldn't it be fun to be caught?" The M side of Akeno began coming out as she pushed Makoto down onto the couch, crawling on top of him. "I feel hot when I think about it. You and I caught in a compromising position."

"C-Compromising-"

She wouldn't even let him finish as she cradled his face with her own hands. The feeling of her fingers alone sent his brain into overload. She had soft hands, hands that could even make a person be ripped apart in a fast state.

"Yes, that's right~ Fufu, Makoto-kun catches on quickly. Shall we, Makoto-kun? I wouldn't mind, after seeing how brave Makoto-kun was, and how strong he could be. The way he stood beside Millicas-sama when he didn't have too. The way you cared about Fallen Angels…when they were your enemies, that makes me feel good, it shows me that you are a kind man after all, and you're so cute too. I can't forget that, you're very adorable. I have to make a special bond with the cute boy that's before me. Fufu, Makoto-kun, maybe we could have an adventure all of our own, what do you-"

Before she could finish, the door violently opened to reveal Koneko stood there. Akeno giggled to herself, as she continued hugging Makoto's body tightly. Koneko's eyes narrowed at the sight of Akeno and Makoto.

"…Even as Ise-senpai's Otouto, I had no idea you'd do such things within the clubroom."

"K-Koneko-chan! I didn't do this-"

He didn't know how to explain, and Akeno couldn't help but tease the boy that was before her, sitting up, and dragged his body up at the same time. She held him tenderly towards her own body, kissing the top of his head in a delicate manner.

"Ara, ara, Koneko-chan doesn't look pleased. The way that your eyes are looking at me, I feel complicated right now Koneko-chan."

Koneko's eyes were slit's, and her body language didn't show any goodness within it. She walked forward, and pointed towards Makoto's lap, which had Akeno's hand on it right now. The way her fingers ran across his thighs almost made Koneko show an expression that she usually didn't.

"…That's my lap Akeno-san. …Because, I have decided that the lap that I am going to sit on is Mako-kun's lap."

"Fufu, Mako-kun? That's a cute nickname for him. Mind if I use it?"

Akeno tried to sound sweet as sugar, but it came off as something else entirely. It didn't sound good at all, it was like she was challenging Koneko, and Koneko wasn't going to back down either, she showed her willingness to fight.

"…No, that's the only name that I may call him."

"Ara, what a strong resolve. But, that's a cute name for Mako-kun."

Akeno sent a challenging stare at Koneko who glared right back.

"…That name, as well as his lap, belongs solely to me. …I won't allow you to sully Mako-kun with your ways."

Akeno showed a passive look on her face.

"And what's that supposed to mean exactly? Are you saying I'm a bad influence on the young boys heart?"

Koneko jumped onto Makoto's lap as he just smiled, he didn't want to come between two women fighting, he is smart enough to not involve himself, though if it got too heavy handed, then he was going to become involved somehow.

"Yes." Koneko nodded. "You're the worst type of person to 'attack' Mako-kun like this. …You're too forward."

"Forward? That's a cute way of saying it, I find that quite adorable from Koneko-chan. But it seems like Koneko-chan has had a change of heart. Not a few weeks ago were you avoiding poor Mako-kun here, who gained affection from me."

Akeno loved teasing Koneko, the way that always broke through that stony exterior and showed the warm interior that wished for affection, and that was shown when Koneko latched onto Makoto, her tail, and ears coming out.

"Cute! That's adorable Koneko-chan!"

Makoto was a sucker for cat girls, and since Koneko was a genuine one, he couldn't help but hug her tightly. His arms went around her while Akeno showed a jealous face.

"…I don't mind doing this for Mako-kun. …He helps me accept myself, and allows me to, become stronger than before. …Also, he's not Ise-senpai, that person is the worst. Especially with his new technique, which made me almost die."

"Fueee that technique was naughty~ Though Mako-kun could use that on me, the slow version. I wouldn't mind his wandering hands over this body of mine." Akeno attempted to grasp Makoto's hand, but Koneko snatched it away. "You're bad Koneko-chan, doing things like that to me when I only want to feel the touch of a man. No fair."

"…You're the worst when it comes to teasing, Mako-kun might die."

Makoto didn't see it that way as he chuckled awkwardly.

Akeno teasingly brought her hand to Makoto's cheek, and brushed it gently.

"I don't think that Mako-kun minds my teasing." Her sultry eyes landed on the boy. "Do you Mako-kun? Do you mind if we play games like this? I like it when Mako-kun and I play fun games together, it spices things up, and I always enjoy spicing up things with Mako-kun, he's that cute and cuddly. So, what do you say Mako-kun? Do you want to play a fun game with me?"

"A-Akeno-senpai, th-that's really-"

"Mako-kun." Koneko got his attention, and took his hand in her own. "…Don't be deceived by her, she'll turn you into Ise-senpai, and that's not a good thing."

"K-Koneko-chan, Ise-nii isn't a bad person…"

"He is, at least when it comes to women. …He's the enemy of all women."

Makoto didn't know if he should fight that or not, since he did love Ise, but he couldn't deny that sometimes, he could be that person who did things that he shouldn't do.

"A-Ah Koneko-chan, Ise-nii isn't so bad."

"Fufu, he's right Koneko-chan." Akeno dragged Makoto's face away from Koneko's one, lightly petting his cheek. "Now, why don't you show me how manly you are, Mako-kun…"

Akeno teasingly brushed his lips with her fingers, then teased a kiss. Makoto hitched his breath, wondering if she was serious. But he didn't get to find out either way as Koneko snatched Makoto's head away from Koneko.

"No, Akeno-san. You'll turn him, and I won't have that."

"Fueee, you're no fun."

Akeno pouted which looked absolutely sexy on a girl like her. But, like that, they continued their lunch, even if it was awkward for the three of them. Neither Koneko nor Akeno would let anything else happen.


"Sona-senpai, I was quite surprised when you suddenly invited me to come to your home." Makoto said, as he looked around at the spectacular area. "Your home is very beautiful Sona-senpai, do you live here alone?"

As Makoto said that, he looked at the chess board that was in front of him.

Sona hadn't said anything yet, at least nothing of relevance to why they were there, but she kept nudging the pieces with her fingers.

If he could read minds, he wondered what she would be thinking about right now. Even with Asia next to him, and Serafall being…Maou knows where, he was curious.

"I do yes."

She revealed as her finger ran itself up and down the Queen piece that was on her side.

Asia, and Makoto shared a small look, wondering what they were doing there.

Sona hadn't said.

They didn't even have an inkling. All they had been doing so far was talking. If it was for a talk, then it was surprising that she summoned them to her home on a Friday evening. Not that Makoto or Asia had anything to do, contracts having been suspended while Serafall was busy preparing.

"Must be nice to have all of this space Sona-senpai."

Asia waded in with her comment, and then froze under the gaze of Sona.

It wasn't a bad look, it wasn't even menacing. Sona just naturally exuded a cool atmosphere, and it made Asia wonder why she was being so…she didn't even know how to finish off that sentence either. It just didn't come to her.

"It gets a little lonely sometimes."

She revealed with a dry looking expression.

Makoto cocked his head.

"Is that why you invited us here Sona-senpai? Did you just want some company?"

That's what the boy got from her words, and expressions. He could see why living alone would be bad.

"Partly, yes." Sona rose her brows, and took a chess piece, holding it between her fingers. "The real reason, Hyoudou-kun is because, I was curious, do you know how to play chess?"

"Eh, I understand the basics behind chess yes. Okaa-san and I play chess, or rather we did when I was younger. She said it was going to help stimulate brain cells or something, she didn't want me to be…eeh, how to say it…"

"She wanted you to use your intelligence rather than become obsessed with the body of women like your Onii-sama."

"Y-You said it better than me."

Sona thought that would be the case, folding her arms as she continued.

"I understand, she had the right mentality. To be honest, I had ulterior motives for contacting you, and asking you to come here…which I am glad Onee-sama was busy so she didn't do her usual antics which I couldn't describe for words…and I wondered, if you do know the rules of chess, perhaps that we could have a match between us?"

Makoto…kinda expected that since she kept touching the chess board.

Though he wasn't completely aware, it did make sense for her to say that she wanted to play chess. He wondered why he was asked.

"A-Are you sure you want to play me? I'm sure there are smarter people in-"

"Besides myself, you're the second highest ranked student in our school." Sona expressed with what seemed to be a delighted tone. "I checked." She began again once taking a breath. "I was always curious, on the stance you might gain in the future, and when you became Onee-sama's Queen, I was baffled, yet somewhat satisfied at the same time."

Asia and Makoto didn't know why she would be like that, so Makoto asked.

"I'm sorry Sona-senpai, I don't really understand. Were you watching me this whole time?"

"I was."

She didn't even deny that she was, surprising him quite a bit.

"May I ask why? Beyond chess I mean?"

Sona cleared her throat, then explained.

"Honestly, I was considering you myself." She began, unfolding her arms, and laid her hands on the table. "I always thought about it, since I discovered you. Even before Saji became my Pawn, and I gained him, I had considered contacting Hyoudou-kun properly, and understanding his stances on the world at large. It seems Onee-sama beat me to the punch, as you might say."

"Well, I was murdered to become her Queen…dunno how I feel about that…but, still, you had your eyes on me Sona-senpai?"

She nodded.

"Hyoudou-kun is that rare intelligence that I wished to understand further. I was curious on what you might become. And when you became Onee-sama's Queen, I pushed you quite hard. I understand now, that wasn't the way that I should've gone. I wished to see Hyoudou-kun reach the potential that I saw within him."

"O-Oh, you don't have to worry Sona-senpai, that's all water under the bridge now. It was thanks to you actually, pushing me that hard, that I managed to protect myself as much as I could during those early days against the Fallen Angels, and Dohnaseek. So, if anything, I have to thank you for helping me grow as much as I did back then."

He truly meant it.

He might've complained back then. But, now that he had hindsight, he could see that it was thanks to Sona that he was still alive and well. He never got to thank her properly, until now. And Sona was surprised, to say the least.

"I didn't expect to hear that Hyoudou-kun."

"Well, it is because of you, and I might've been disobeying back then…but, I wouldn't regret that, because I got to meet Asia-chan."

Asia smiled from beside Makoto, then hugged onto his arm. Makoto allowed his hand to link with one of her own as he faced Sona again, Sona facing him right back.

"I understand, I am glad that it worked out. But now, why don't we play some chess? I believe that it would be good for both, myself, and yourself as well. So, what do you say Hyoudou-kun?"

Makoto didn't know what to say.

He was sure that he wouldn't be able to win against her. This was Sona, she was intelligent, she was immensely intelligent, she could pretty much outthink most people easily. Even himself, he would have to bow down to the range of knowledge that she possessed. It was so immense that he was surprised that he and Serafall were related with the amount of knowledge that Sona had, though Serafall had proven that she was in no way unintelligent.

"Erm…s-sure, I don't mind. I mean, I don't think that I will be able to beat you in chess, Sona-senpai. I heard that you challenged every member of the chess club, and beat them all without breaking a sweat, isn't that right?"

"Perhaps I was able to beat them all in the games, but I assure you the challenge was there, and real. But, I was able to pull off a victory in the end, and I am sure, win or lose, this game for you, and myself will be quite, telling of what could happen in the future."

The way she said that, Makoto was wondering just what this chess match really meant.

"Then, after hearing that, I don't see why not! Okay Sona-senpai, I shall do my best!"

Hearing that, Sona's face curled upwards.

"Excellent. The exact response that I was hoping for."

Makoto and Sona then got to playing while Asia watched.

Asia didn't know much of chess, so she didn't know what to say or to even help. But, she offered Makoto as much support as she possibly could. So, that's what she did, and waited for Makoto to win or lose, whichever was going to be the results.

Makoto and Sona played the game for well over an hour.

The match was difficult, even Sona was having difficulty with the match.

Each move she made, had to be thought about, the repercussions, and what it could entail for her and for him as well, if she would be gaining or losing the advantage.

Makoto on the other hand just tried his best, and went through it quite good.

He didn't know anything about Sona's strategy, he presumed that she came into the game with one. He, was going off what he thought to be the best, thinking on the fly, so he could adapt as necessary, like the Rating Game that he had not long ago.

When the match was over, Sona looked at the board with a surprised expression on her beautiful face.

"I…won, but came down to such low pieces…"

Sona couldn't believe that she only had her King, and two of her pieces left.

She had lost most of her pieces, as Makoto did too. He lost all of them, but he came very close to winning the match. She had to pull out all of the stops…and she was very intrigued.

She couldn't be more intrigued than she was right now.

The way he thought, the way he played with her mind during the match. The feints, and the misdirection. If she had been a lower player, then Makoto would've won. And she…liked that about him.

She liked how he challenged her to think more than normal.

She liked how he was able to provide her mind with new and interesting thought patterns. While he didn't win, this was the first time in a long time she had been pushed even this far in a match.

She just found him…very fascinating to say the least.

"Eheh, I lost the match in the end."

Makoto scratched the back of his head with a complex expression. He was happy that he managed to get that far with her though. He didn't think he would be able to bring her that far down in the matches.

"Makoto-san did amazing! Sona-senpai didn't have many choices left! I was amazed, Makoto-san is quite smart!"

He gained a sheepish look on his face.

"Well, I don't know about smart, I just did what I thought would be best. It seems like Sona-senpai won in the end, I expected her to win actually. She always was a very intelligent person, I don't think anyone at the school could beat her. Though maybe Millicas-san could, she's quite intelligent as well."

"Millicas is quite intelligent." Sona began with beated breath. "I do wonder how she would fare against me as well. Though I believe she might be quite intimidated by me, that's why she doesn't come and play a game with me."

Makoto smiled weakly, trying to think of an excuse so she didn't feel offended by Millicas not wanting to play a game with her.

But Sona then allowed the smallest of smiles to erupt onto her face.

"In any case, I think that you did well Hyoudou-kun, the way that you use your skills, and your mind, I am very intrigued to see where you go from here. In this case though, I was able to pull off a victory, I am surprised by the impressive amount of intelligence you showed during the match. So please don't consider this loss as a negative. If anything, you're quite intriguing to me, and I wish to play a game of chess in the future once you have matured a little more, with your mind."

"A-Ah, sure! I don't mind Sona-senpai!"

"Good, now let us enjoy tea."

So that's what Makoto, Asia, and Sona did.

Though it was odd, Sona seemed to open up slightly more than she usually did. Perhaps it was because Makoto gave her a good game. Whichever it was, Makoto was pleased with himself that he managed to do as well as he did against Sona.


"Aaah, such a good time to relax!"

Makoto announced to himself as he sat down on his bed, that he shared with Asia. Since Rias, and Millicas moved in, it was something Makoto didn't know what to think about. Everything that had been going on, it was just nice to relax in his room. Even if he had to share it with Asia, he didn't mind all that much. No, he didn't mind at all in fact, Asia was a nice girl, and she was always helpful to him.

"Makoto-san, this is really fun. It's just the two of us now, and with Sona-senpai before, it was relaxing."

Asia beamed out with an expression that Makoto would love to always see on her face.

"You're not wrong. Today has been quite nice. No Fallen Angels wanting our blood, no douche bags that want to marry any of us, and Sera-tan hasn't tried to make me wear magical boy clothing…speaking of, where is Sera-tan? She was absent before as well."

Asia looked around the room, and shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know…I thought that she would be here but maybe she's preparing for the time that we go on our trip tomorrow."

"Right…the trip."

Makoto remembered that.

He, Asia, and Serafall were going on a trip together. Millicas was visiting the Underworld, and her parents, and Rias also had things to do with her peerage so he probably wouldn't see Yumi or Koneko or Akeno for a little while either. Even his elder brother, he wouldn't see much of him. though he knew they'd be in town for whatever they were doing. They couldn't join. Kalawarner said that she won't be coming because she was busy and the same for Elmenhilde, so it was only going to be Makoto, Asia, and Serafall alone. Makoto wondered, just how that was going to go.

"Yes, I can't wait to meet God!"

Asia seemed to be hyper about it, but Makoto wasn't so sure that she understood what kind of God they would be meeting, and hated bursting her bubble, but this is what she had to do.

"It won't be the biblical God, Asia-chan."

Makoto reminded as Princess came into the room, hopping onto the bed, and jumped onto Makoto's lap. His fingers ran down her back as Asia's face scrunched up.

"Uuuu…that's right but it is still a God. I think Serafall-sama said it would be Odin-sama, is that correct?"

"Yeah, I think so. He's the Norse God, or one of. I'm gonna have to do some studying. I do have to admit that God's aren't something I know much about. But, it does seem like maybe it could be interesting. I know there are several God's in quite a few religions. Odin-sama is the Norse God, I believe. I wonder how he'd be? In Final Fantasy, Odin was man in armour on a horse, usually, so would this person be the same…?" Asia looked confused, Makoto shaking his head. "Aah, no worries Asia-chan~ Nothing to worry about at all~"

"O-Okay then Makoto-san! But, I am pleased that we will be able to go together, alone together. Makoto-san, with everyone else busy, it is just going to be me, and you, and Serafall-sama. Even the others aren't coming, are you surprised?"

Makoto was actually surprised that some of the others weren't coming, but they had their reasons and Makoto respected those reasons. He understood what it meant that they wouldn't be coming and he didn't say anything about it.

"I am surprised about Elmen-chan, but she said that she has something to take care of so she can't attend. And Kalawarner-san wishes to go back to the Grigori for a few days, and I thought that would be okay. She asked for my permission, and while I don't consider her a servant, she said that she wished to go. But Sera-tan said there was going to be a guest, I wonder who that's going to be anyway…?"

Asia didn't know the answer either, and sat on the bed wonderingly. Makoto just kept petting Princess as she purred adorably on Makoto's lap.

"I don't know Makoto-san, but I am glad that we can be alone like this. Because, the truth is Makoto-san, I have been reading, and asking questions, and I have decided that, Makoto-san is also my future husband, and as a wife's duties is to make her husband happy."

Asia inched closer as she slowly removed her shirt, showing her bra. Her face was red, and Makoto also had a slightly tinged pink face. though he was used to the more forward girls 'attacking' him, or as much as he could get used to it, seeing the innocent Asia suddenly taking off her shirt was a rare sight.

"A-Are you hot Asia-chan?"

Trying to pull away from the thoughts that she might be having, he attempted to calm the girl down.

But Asia went to her schools skirt, and stood up, allowing it to drop to the ground.

"A-A-Asia-chan, if you wish to get ready for bed then-"

"Please excuse me!" Asia forced Makoto onto the bed, as well as she could anyway, his body falling as she crawled on top of him. "I-I'm sorry Makoto-san, but I don't want to fall behind the others anymore, so I am going to do it as well Makoto-san! I heard about Akeno-senpai and Koneko-san 'attacking' Makoto-san in the clubroom today and I couldn't take it!"

Makoto's eyes widened as Asia held her hair up and let it fall naturally. The way her hair danced captivated his eyes, drawing in the way that she looked. Asia was beautiful, yet he felt like this shouldn't be happening.

"Asia-chan, if you're thinking of like, people that are, quite forward, like Sera-tan, and Yumi-senpai on occasion, you don't have to worry about such things. Y-You are you, and you don't have to do anything like this…"

Asia reached behind her back, unhooking her bra, and showed her boobs. While they weren't as big as Yumi's or Serafall's, Makoto's eyes enlarged a little bit from seeing how turned on Asia truly was right now, seeing how perky her nipples were.

"Uuuu, this is highly embarrassing…"

Makoto grabbed her shirt from the floor, draping it around her and made sure that she didn't reveal anything to him.

"You don't have to be so direct Asia-chan, y-you're important to me. Things like this are…well, it either is something you can do or, it takes time. You were raised in the Church and all, I don't expect you to be like Yumi-senpai…no, Sera-tan or Akeno-senpai level of naughty intentions, they really have it tops. I prefer Asia-chan just being Asia-chan."

Asia's eyes became watery, hugging Makoto's body for dear life. Her breasts crushed against his shift covered chest, hugging desperately, very tightly.

"Ooh Makoto-san is just too kind to me. But, if I don't do this, then Makoto-san will be lured away by the others. I know I'm not the most…developed in my chest, but I want to please Makoto-san with everything that I have…"

Makoto gently embraced Asia even tighter, comfortingly patting her on the back.

"Don't be silly Asia-chan, you're important to me, I won't allow you to be forgotten by anyone, especially me. You're gonna be my Bishop Asia-chan, I couldn't ever forget you, I won't leave you behind, you're always going to be beside me."

Asia peered into his eyes as he did with her own eyes.

"Makoto-san…I'm glad that I am marrying Makoto-san, he is going to be the best husband that I could hope for."

Asia hugged onto Makoto's body tightly, even more so than before. And she wouldn't let go. Not that he had a problem with it that is.

"Y-Yeah, that's really wonderful Asia-"

Before he could finish, the door busted open with a surprise look of Ravel, and Serafall being as happy as she always was, brimming with renewed excitement and love for the pair of them before her.

"Aaah! Asia-chan and Ma-tan are becoming cuter by the day! Ooh Ma-tan, you're engaging what could only be described as a two-some without me even being involved?! I wanna play with Ma-tans body! Everywhere! His tight body, his penis, and his butt too! Everything Ma-tan has I wanna touch!"

Ravel wore an embarrassed face as did Makoto. Asia collapsed into Makoto's body to hide her shameful expressions, she wasn't able to look. Makoto then noticed Ravel's appearance, and felt even more embarrassed.

"S-Sera-tan, before you do anything, why is Ravel-san here?"

Like a bulb of light went off in the girls mind, she looked towards Ravel who still looked a little sheepish on what was going on.

"Aah right!" She went behind Ravel, pushed her forward as Princess raised her head towards the Phenex. "This girl Ma-tan, I think that she might be a little interested in my cute Queen, and I said that we were going on an important trip, and she wanted to come! Being adorable, I said sure! Come along as much as you want! She wants to help out Ma-tan as well! Isn't that adorable Ma-tan!?"

Makoto looked towards Ravel who poked her fingers together shyly.

"I…" She began with a slight stutter. "I thought, because you are the Queen of the Maou-sama, I shall also aid you in doing what I can. Being Serafall-sama's Queen is a big deal, it is a huge honour, and because you're also Millicas-sama's chosen one, I shall also do my best to help you in what you want to do."

Behind her words, Makoto could feel the nervousness in her voice, and chuckled lightly.

"If Ravel-san wants to help me, then I don't have a complaint. You did help immensely during the Rating Game, to the point I don't think we would've won without her. So, I am happy if Ravel-san wishes to help out."

Ravel took in a breath, then looked towards Serafall.

"About that aforementioned matter Serafall-sama…"

"Ooh, we'll see how this works out first my cute Ravel-chan, then we'll go forward from there. After all, can't just have anyone who wants to come by become apart of my cute Ma-tans exclusive club that he's gonna have~"

"I'm sorry, but what does that mean exactly?"

Makoto cut in, wondering what the heck was going on.

Serafall winked towards Makoto.

"I'm being a good King again Ma-tan! I have found a good potential, and maybe, if it pans out, we'll see what's going to happen. She also seems to be quite attached to the idea of Ma-tan and I thought that if it is my Ma-tan, then he'll be able to have fun with this person as well~"

Makoto glanced at Ravel who was staring at him. When noticing his gaze her eyes shot to the floor with embarrassment, she wasn't able to keep her gaze on his own. And there was also the fact that Asia was practically naked, save her panties, that also was embarrassing for the young Phenex.

He then looked towards Serafall who was smirking wildly.

"Heya Ma-tan, wanna have some fun with me now? Don't worry, Asia-chan can join in too, we could have some master/servant type of fun, that's always the best, isn't it Ma-tan? Just thinking about Ma-tans quivering body with my own warm body, and we blend into an existence that cannot be stopped! That's the best! Now come on Ma-taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!"

She tackled Makoto onto the bed, and overlapped his lips with her own right away, catching him off guard. He moaned into the kiss as Serafall began playing with his body, Asia and Ravel's face turning bright red.


"Please Makoto! Don't leave us with that crazy bitch!"

Ise pleaded as he clung to Makoto's leg.

The day of the trip wasn't going as planned. Serafall was surprisingly dressed in quite nice clothing. She wore a business suit that also was a skirt at the bottom, a standard for when she was going to be doing something important.

Asia was dressed in a good dress that was the colour green, suiting Asia quite well, something that Serafall had her wear because they were going to be meeting a God.

Ravel was also dressed to impress, since it was a standard for the Phenex clan members, to look their best, she decided to wear a pink dress this time, it looked quite flashy like it was going to a ball.

Makoto himself was dressed in very respectable clothing, though he didn't understand much about why he would have to.

"Unhand your Otouto at once Hyoudou-sama."

Ravel spoke strongly, pushing the hand away from Makoto's leg. But Ise persisted, holding onto the leg as tightly as he could.

"I can't! Take her Makoto! She's evil, and a sadistic asshole!"

Makoto didn't like that Ise called Princess that and teased the thought of yelling at him. But ultimately. He chose not to do that.

"Princess is not a sadistic asshole Onii-chan. Or is she a crazy bitch either." He looked towards Princess on the stairs, who wagged her tail and meowed, causing Rias to ball her eyes out. "See? She's a good kitten, she will be well looked after, I know that she will be."

Rias and Ise looked towards Princess, seeing that she was just meowing adorably. But hidden under her eyes, there was a fact that the eyes that she had caused them to cower away from her, they were frightened of this cat.

Rias dashed to Makoto's other leg, and captured it for herself.

"Y-Yeah, Otouto-kun! Please! Princess is a sadist! Even worse than Akeno! At least she stops! Princess doesn't stop! She never stops being evil! She hurts me! Please take her with you! S-She loves you more than anything! She's a sadist!"

Makoto couldn't see why they would say that. She hadn't shown any horrible tendencies around him. Yet, Princess liked Makoto, and wouldn't overstep her bounds either.

"Princess is not a sadist…yes, she shows some weird behaviour sometimes, but she hasn't done anything bad. At most, she dances around adorably, don't you Princess? Do your adorable kitty dance for everyone Princess~"

"Nyaaaaa~!"

Princess meowed as she leaned on the step. Sticking out her butt, she bounced it up and down as she looked down. Princess, twerked as Asia clapped along, even Serafall did the same thing as well, bobbing along to the dance. Ravel looked weirdly at the cat.

"Amazing, Princess-san is a very good dancer."

"Aah! Asia-chan's right! Princess-chan is our mascot for our team Ma-tan! She has to be!"

Asia and Serafall clasped hands with one another, and enjoyed the feeling of the others hands.

Ise and Rias began shedding large tears as Princess continued dancing. Her body shook, and so did her butt. Her eyes were on Rias', and Ise's, and none of them seemed to be the right response for such things. Princess, was a very frightening cat in their eyes, and couldn't see why they would be having such a thing about them.

"See Ise-nii? Buchou? Princess isn't a sadist, she's just a cute cat. Now, we have to go, make sure that she's well taken care of, okay Ise-nii, Buchou? She needs her food, and other things. I've left notes, and such for the pair of you to show when she needs her food, milk, and when and things of that nature."

Rias, and Ise cried as Serafall activated a magic circle. Makoto kicked off the girl and boy, stepping inside as Asia clung to Makoto's arm. Ravel shuffled closer than she should have been, but Serafall snickered at the sight.

"Bye you two! You adorable people need to take care of Princess! She's a very beautiful kitten!"

Serafall, Makoto, Ravel and Asia then disappeared in a flash, leaving Ise, and Rias alone with Princess.

As soon as they were, they turned to the cat who had stopped dancing, and was glaring at them. She had gone from happy cat, to her menacing mode, frightening both Rias, and Ise more than life itself, she was that frightening.

"Ooh shit, Ise! This cat is deranged! It wants me to die!"

Rias hid behind Ise because she was…frightened.

She couldn't be more frightened than she was right now.

Everything that Princess did, every little gesture, frightened her.

Ise on the other hand was hoping Princess wouldn't try and kill them. He didn't know if he was going to die, but if he didn't, he would be surprised.

"Nyaaaaa…"

Princess hopped off the stairs, Rias thought it was pouncing so jumped back as did Ise, landing on the ground. Ise's head fell on Rias' breasts, not that he was complaining and held a pervy face as Princess got to the ground.

She looked at them, and then gestured them to follow her.

"Buchou…are we going to have to follow her? She's evil Buchou, I don't think I can handle it."

He whispered to Rias as Princess just glared at them.

The glare from a cat was very powerful, it could even shatter reality as they knew it from the type of glare that she could have in her eyes.

"We have to Ise, this cat is insane. She wants me dead, and you, and she won't stop until we are. I told you about when she attacked me? She'll do it again if we don't do anything. Ise, we have to keep this cat sweet, or she goes insane. She'll attempt to murder us Ise, she's that mad."

Ise didn't like it, but he was going to do as Rias asked.

"Okay Buchou, I will do as you say…eeh, Buchou, is that sadist going to kill us?"

"I hope not Ise, I really don't want to die by that sadist. Akeno is one thing, but this bitch is completely different."

She walked towards the living room, so Rias, and Ise followed. If they didn't, they didn't know what she was going to do to them.

When they got there, they saw that she was at a computer screen. Walking over, they saw that she had written something on it, on a word processor, opening up another set of questions.

"How does this fucking cat do these things!? Isn't it a normal cat!? I don't sense power from it! Why is this cat able to do this!? It shouldn't be possible! She's just a pussy cat, she shouldn't be able to do these things!"

Ise didn't have the answer, as Princess showed her claws, tapping the computer screen.

They flinched, but did as she wanted, and read the screen.

[You're my servants now. If you don't do as I command, things will happen and you won't like them. It also could be the end.]

Ise and Rias pulled back as Princess gained a sadistic sneer. That frightened them more than life itself. It wasn't even funny. The cat just looked like it was having the time of her life, while they were crumbling inside of their bodies thanks to the cat.

"Alright, this is off! There's no way she can understand human speech and writing…or is this fucking cat demonic!? Is she possessed!? Buchou, please tell me that this cat is possessed!"

"I don't know Ise, please don't make me cry for much longer! This can't be a normal cat! What was it trained by!? Evil incarnate!? The Fallen Angels…holy shit Ise, is this cat with the Fallen Angels!?"

Ise and Rias bickered between the two of them, while Princess just looked on, anger becoming more prevalent on her face.

Princess got tired of this, and typed on the keyboard.

Rias, and Ise watched as she continued typing out a message.

Once she was done, the others read it in fear.

[I want tuna, and coconut milk, right now, I won't be pleased if I don't have it within two minutes.]

Rias and Ise had to obey, or they would be attacked, and they didn't want to be attacked either.

"Okay Princess! Ise, get the tuna! I'll get the milk! Shit, do we have coconut milk!? Whatever! Hop to it Ise! We've got under two minutes before this cat tries to murder us!"

"Y-Yes Buchou!"

They rushed out of the room, as Princess grinned to herself, she enjoyed things like this very much.


Serafall, Makoto, Ravel, and Asia transported to a new place entirely.

The room itself, was very beautiful. It was decorated to the highest degree, befitting for a God, or Maou. Makoto and Asia looked around at the sights before them, as Serafall grinned from ear to ear at the sights, Ravel just

"Seems like Odin-chan hasn't come yet. Well, he's always a fuddy-duddy."

Makoto looked on as Serafall bounced around happily.

"Sera-tan…I mean, Serafall-sama, while I am your Queen, and Asia-chan is your Bishop, is it wise to only have myself, and her here? Even with Ravel-san, I think it could be dangerous. I mean, while we've gotten stronger, there's no way that we would be able to face down a God if something happened."

Asia also thought that was a good point, and waited for her King to announce what was going on.

Serafall took in a few sharp breaths, then answered with a small smile on her face.

"Good point Ma-tan! But don't worry, there will be some more guards! But Ma-tan is my cute Queen as well! I wanted to show off my Queen, and Bishop too! My other peerage members are currently busy doing other duties for me, so I decided to have it go down like this~ Don't worry though Ma-tan, we'll just be seeing these people, then we'll be negotiating with them! It's going to be fun you know!?"

"F-Fun? Shouldn't we be taking this a little more professionally?"

Makoto brought up, as Ravel agreed.

"He's right Serafall-sama, this is a very important event. While being…as you are is okay, I thought that we would also see a serious side of the Maou-sama as well? Being here is honour enough, but I thought that maybe you would…"

Serafall cocked her eyebrows upwards.

"That's cute! Don't worry Ravel-chan, leave this to the Maou-sama now! I know what I am doing! I mean, if Gabriel can negotiate with anyone, then I should be a thousand times better as a result, isn't that right Ma-tan!?"

"Erm…Gabriel-sama is the Angel-sama in heaven, yes?"

"She's also evil, and jealous that I have a cuter personality than she does."

The tone in Serafall's voice wasn't a flattering one. It was like she wasn't even giving Gabriel a chance at all.

"Erm…well, I can't really say much about her then Serafall-sama, she is just someone that resides in heaven to me."

Serafall goes over to the large table, sits down and sighs heavily, her demeanour changing from her usual cheerfulness, to a dull and depressing one.

"Ma-tan, as my Queen, Gabriel is going to be your arch rival. She is abusive, and she hurts me everyday. She sends me messages that are degrading and she hates the fact that I was picked as a Maou, and she wasn't. It's all her fault Ma-tan, she's a bully, a coward, and into women."

"…She is an Angel right…? Wouldn't it mean she would 'fall' if she was as bad of a person as you said?"

Even Asia and Ravel thought that was the truth. An Angel would fall if they were as bad as Serafall said.

"Ma-tan…fine, look at this!"

Serafall took out her phone, and showed Makoto a message.

[Hello Serafall-san, how are you? I am fine. I hope you are too.]

Makoto cocked his head to the side.

"I don't see how that is threatening."

"She put how am I! She wants to know my status, and then she rubs it in her face that she's fine! And then she hopes I am too!? She's trying to be superior to me! She hates me Ma-tan, and she's a bully…tell her off."

Serafall adopted a cute expression on her face.

Before he could comment on it, the doors opened and a man stepped inside. With some guards coming in from behind as well, Makoto saw other Devils. They were the guards from behind. The others, Makoto didn't know. They looked to be mostly human. He couldn't see how they would be separate from humans.

"Makoto-sama, those people over there, are Valkyries."

She explained, and then Ravel looked on at the outfits the women wore. They were quite revealing battle outfits at that. Makoto himself blushed at seeing the women as they made a passageway for someone else.

The person who stepped forward, as an old looking man, having an eyepatch on one of his eyes, a pervy look on his face as he looked at the women. Serafall just smiled normally, as Asia clung to Makoto's arm tightly.

"Makoto-san, could that person be Odin-sama?"

Ravel heard Asia whisper to Makoto, who shrugged his shoulders.

"I think that he is. For some reason, his facial expressions remind me of Ise-nii."

"Good observation Makoto-sama. I have heard that Odin-sama is interested in young women and their oppai."

Makoto sweatdropped as the old man ogled some of the Valkyries. His lone eye danced over their forms, and they didn't look like they cared all that much. Makoto felt complicated about a God doing things like that.

"I just hope the Biblical God isn't like that for Asia-chan's sake."

He murmured to Ravel, which Serafall heard, and gained a weak face.

But then, Makoto saw another young woman walk in. She had long silvery white hair, with a pink ribbon laced through her long hair. She had a pair of large breasts, that only fell slightly short to Akeno's own, they were bigger than Serafall's own breasts. The outfit she wore looked like a females armour that showed off much of her bodies.

"Odin-sama!" The woman berated. "You're currently supposed to be conversing with Serafall-sama of the Devils. Please, act according to your position."

Makoto, Ravel, and Asia shared a look as Odin offered a dry smile.

"For the woman who's age equals the number of years without a boyfriend to address me such as that then it makes me feel complex." The young woman's eyes began watering as Odin snickered. "Don't worry Rossweisse, you'll find a boyfriend before you're 100 years old."

The newly named Rossweisse put a hand to her mouth, and her eyes threatened to leak some tears.

"I-I-I-I-I-I! My private life has nothing to do with this! I am doing my job Odin-sama, please do yours as well!"

Odin chuckled deeply, as he walked over to the table. He glanced towards Serafall, and gained a pervy look.

"Aah, Serafall, you're looking as bouncy as always."

Makoto didn't like how he said that and felt his hand tightening on its own.

Serafall however wagged a finger at him.

"Now, now Odin-chan! Don't be a naughty boy! Or Ojii-chan I guess~ I am Ma-tans private partner, and I won't have Ojii-chan upsetting my adorable Queen!"

The old man stroked his beard while looking towards Makoto.

"I did hear that you obtained a…" When he fully looked towards Makoto, his lone eye widened. "It's…" Odin glanced at Serafall who just smiled, so Odin did the same thing. "Aah, so that's your Queen? He's a little young Serafall."

"Ooh! He's the cute age of 15 years old! Isn't he the most adorable boy in the world!?" Serafall leaned back, and ripped Makoto forward, putting an arm around his body to drag him closer. "See!? This is my adorable Queen! He's the most adorable ever! Better than Sirzechs-chan's Queen, she's just a bad mess, and Gabriel…ugh, Gabriel is just a bad person all around."

Makoto had to wonder why Serafall didn't like Gabriel all that much, ad could only wait to meet this supposed rival.

"Hoooo! I see! So Serafall finally chose a Queen!" His eye went over Makoto who smiled sheepishly. "Well, I'm not a Shotacon myself, I can see why you might think he could be cute." His eye turned to Rossweisse. "Rossweisse, this is a boy, do you know what to do with him?"

Rossweisse looked angered by Odin's words.

"Odin-sama, please don't drag your personal feelings about my own life into this setting."

It didn't sound good from Makoto's perspective what was going on. Though he did manage to get out of Serafall's tight grip, separating them from one another, and returned to the others sides, so he didn't have to be forefront and centre, that was the last thing that he wanted right now.

"Aah, you're no fun Rossweisse." Odin turned his eye towards Serafall. "Now Serafall, I believe that it is about that time to discuss about our respective ideas, and thoughts."

"Aah yes! That's right Odin-chan! Let's talk!"

Makoto watched as Serafall began discussing with Odin, and he had to say…he was immensely impressed.

The way that she handled herself, the way that she negotiated, was a very impressive sight for him to behold. He couldn't be more impressed, it was like she was a different person. Even Asia, and Ravel were impressed with what was going on.

"I also think that…"

"Aah yes, that's a good idea…"

The negotiations were going swimmingly.

Makoto could keep up with what was going on. Both sides had something the other wanted, and were trading for it. Simple as it was, Makoto could see that Serafall was also making sure that the Devils weren't cheated either.

And despite Odin being a perverted person, he could see that he was actually doing a halfway decent job as being a God, and showed that he could speak in a somewhat civilized way, and he couldn't help draw the connections between Odin and Ise, wondering if Ise would turn out like Odin in the future.

When it finished, or when Makoto thought it was finished, Serafall let out a breath.

"Phew, such serious is not good on my brain!" She looked towards Makoto who smiled weakly. "See Ma-tan? This is what my cute job is, and that's why when I come back to Ma-tan, he has to give me immense cuddles."

"I-Immense cuddles? I couldn't speak about that right now, Serafall-sama."

He pleaded that she would stay professional a little longer.

But it seemed like she wasn't going to be doing that as she grabbed Makoto from behind and groped him. Ravel's eyes bulged as did Asia's. Rossweisse was very surprised that Serafall just did that out in the open, while Odin laughed with a pervy sounding laughing noise.

"S-Serafall-sama! R-Right now, we can't do that!"

Serafall adopted a cute look on her lips.

"Well then, I'm gonna go and spend time with Odin-chan! Ma-tan, when I get back to the hotel, let's have a cute bath together! Odin-chan and I are just going to go and talk about some private stuff! Make sure that you're safe! You too Asia-chan! And Ravel-chan! Keep yourselves safe!"

"O-Of course Serafall-sama, I shall do as you say and stay with Makoto-san."

"Me as well, Serafall-sama. I shall stand beside Makoto-sama, and make sure that we three stay out of trouble."

Asia and Ravel spoke back to Serafall, the girl winking adorably.

Hearing what Serafall was doing, Odin turned towards Rossweisse.

"Aah, you also Rossweisse. Allow me to have some fun with Serafall there."

Rossweisse wasn't exactly accepting of that either, and she didn't like the fact that he was doing such things.

"Odin-sama, you can't suddenly just dismiss me. I am supposed to be your-"

"Aah well, it doesn't matter. Just leave this geezer with a supple young lady such as Serafall."

Serafall pointed towards him, and made a defiant looking face.

"Don't be bad! My Ma-tan is my cute Queen! The only thing you'll feel is a slap if you try and come onto someone like me! My Queen is sexy and you are old! Blaaaah! Ma-tan is my cute Queen and young, and you're old so beat that!"

"I don't think that I could beat that actually. Well, goodbye Rossweisse, see you at the hotel~"

"Wait…" Odin took off with Serafall, and some guards from both sides. "…and you're gone." Rossweisse released a breath of annoyance. "Odin-sama, honestly. I can't believe what has been happening lately."

Makoto, Ravel and Asia looked towards one another.

"So, are we free now?"

"I think so." Ravel commented. "Serafall-sama has her official guards with her, stronger than any of us, so she'll be fine. I think more than anything, this was just a formality as a Queen should be present when it comes to meeting's such as these."

"Aah right, I am Sera-tans Queen now. Fueee, I don't even know much of the stuff that she does. I know she has a hard job though, and yet, I don't really know what else she does with her…" He looked towards Rossweisse who looked lost on what to do. "She seems to be quite, sad right now."

"With a boss like Odin-sama, I can see why."

Makoto had to agree with Ravel, as Asia stared at Rossweisse, and her bust size. She looked down at her own, then released a small sigh.

"Makoto-san, Rossweisse-san seems to be quite stressed right now, should we go and help her?"

"Yeah, you're right Asia-chan, let's go and make sure she's okay. She was basically just ditched by her boss, have to make sure that she's okay."

So like that, Makoto, Ravel, and Asia took off together towards Rossweisse.

Once making it, Rossweisse cocked her neck backwards.

"Oh, Serafall-sama's Queen, Bishop, and lady of the Phenex clan."

"You know us?"

Makoto was surprised that Rossweisse even bothered to remember who they were.

"Of course, I learned many things about this before I came here today. I knew Serafall-sama had a new Queen and Bishop, and I was aware of the lady of the Phenex household would be attending. I would also have to apologize for Odin-sama's rude behaviour, it is like working with a child."

"Hehe, a perverted child."

Makoto snickered out, Ravel cracking a smile, Asia smiling gently too.

"Maybe you're right, he can be quite perverted. So, what brings you three here?"

"We were worried that you might not be okay."

Asia conveyed her usual levels of kindness, showing a brazen expression on her face.

"Oh, if you mean about Odin-sama leaving then, he pretty much does that all of the time. It's a chore being his Valkyrie, he's quite demanding, and disappears at the drop of a hat. He usually turns up sometime later on."

"Ooh that's good! In the meantime, we were going to go back to our hotel, you're welcome to come with us. Sera…Serafall-sama told us where it was before, so we know where to go and such. So, do you want to come Rossweisse-san?"

"T…That's quite unexpected from the Queen of a Maou."

"Is it?" Makoto posed back. "I don't know much about that, still learning about my role and such from being a Devil for not so long ago."

"I see, I did hear you were new, but it seems you're able to put up with Serafall-sama's more…childlike tendencies."

Makoto scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"I kinda just allow her to do as she likes, and usually, she knows her limits of what she can and can't get away with. If she does go a little far, then I do try my best to say something. Ravel-san once told me that it is the current Queen's duties to make sure the Maou-sama's of our time don't go overboard, right Ravel-san?"

"That's the basics of it yes Makoto-sama. Now, shall we?"

Makoto's eyes went towards Rossweisse.

"Do you want to come with us? With your boss gone for the moment, maybe we could speak instead."

"I, wouldn't mind that."

Rossweisse accepted the invitation and all four of them walked away together.


Sometime later, Ravel and Asia talked together, something that Makoto apparently wasn't allowed to hear of. He thought that it would be something to do with females, and that wasn't something that he would want to know if he thought it was what it was supposed to be.

"I don't understand how you all can relax when your King is not even around."

Rossweisse couldn't believe it.

The way that Asia, Ravel and Makoto relaxed. Even now, how he just drank some soda it seemed insane to Rossweisse. Yet, oddly it seemed quite, normal for the boy, and girl as well. All three of them relaxed, while she was on guard.

"Serafall-sama is stronger than me. If I couldn't defeat something coming for her, chances are she would be able to do it. I wouldn't be able to protect her, and if she needs me, she'll come and get me. Besides, Serafall-sama is quite…the word is…hmmm, she's quite hyperactive, and yet, she knows what is what and she knows and understands this world more than me, I'll just follow her judgement. She asked me to come back here, so I came back here, she thought that was the best."

"I guess…you're right about that." Rossweisse began and turned her eyes towards Makoto. "So, how did you get drafted into becoming a Queen of a Maou-sama. did you know about her beforehand?"

"No, I didn't know anything. Serafall-sama just revived me after I was killed by a Fallen Angel, saving a girl that I really care about. After that, it's been a pretty crazy adventure, I don't really have much time to relax nowadays, so this is very relaxing. But how did you become Odin-sama's personal assistant?"

Rossweisse swirled the drink that was in front of her, as she answered.

"I just applied for the position. It is a prestigious title for someone such as myself. I finished high school, and most of college, and decided that this would be the path my life would take. Though I am sorry about you being killed. That must've been horrific."

"Eeh, I guess that it was a little, but don't worry so much about it. I've…mostly gotten over it now."

Rossweisse looked over Makoto's form, and a question popped into her mind.

"Also…erm, Hyoudou-san. You're fifteen years old, yes?"

Makoto curiously looked towards her.

"Yes...? Why?"

"O-Oh, no reason! I just thought that maybe...never mind, it doesn't matter."

Makoto wasn't so sure about that, as Rossweisse looked nervous about something.

"Is there something wrong Rossweisse-san?"

"No! Not at all! I was a little worried when Serafall-sama…groped you. She was...well, she was what she was, and did what she did for whatever she wants to do with you..."

That was one aspect of Makoto's life that he didn't want to remember all that often since it did many different things to him honestly.

"Eeh, she does that a lot, I wouldn't worry so much about it. She does things like that, and then ends up embarrassing me more than life itself."

"I-I see…*sigh* seems like we both have bosses that are insufferable sometimes."

"True…very true. Does your boss also have you wear embarrassing attire?"

Rossweisse allowed her face to pull upwards.

"He does, pretty much all of the time. Once I had to wear a maid's outfit."

"Serafall-sama makes me dress as a magical boy sometimes."

Rossweisse's lips tugged upwards as she imagined it.

"Ooh my, I could only imagine what that would be like."

"It's highly embarrassing when I think about it."

"I can imagine. Ooh, do you also have to make sure they do their official documents on time?"

Makoto chuckled slightly.

"I do sometimes. Grayfia-san, Sirzechs-sama's Queen told me about it, and for about a week now, Serafall-sama refused to do any work, so I had to make sure that she did it. Even when she was coming here, just last night. She wanted to…play, and there were some documents that needed doing, and she just wouldn't do them. So, I had to threaten to not sleep in the same bed as her…she did it after that."

"O-Oh, so you and Serafall-sama are, together in a romantic sense then?"

She didn't quite believe it, she didn't think that a Maou and their Queen could be together…but then she remembered that Sirzechs and his Queen were together. Even then, she was still slightly disbelieving in that fact.

"W-Well, that's kinda confusing because, w-we're not but we k-kiss sometimes, and then things are like…well, it's a confusing time right now. If you asked Serafall-sama, she'd probably say that we are, but for me, I don't know right now. It's something that I don't know what to talk about…b-but, Rossweisse-san, can I ask about your erm…powers?"

"Powers?"

Rossweisse didn't really understand what he was talking about, if she was honest with herself.

"As a Valkyrie, I mean. Devils have demonic powers, do you people have…Valkyrie type powers?"

"Well, maybe, but I mainly use magic."

"Magic?" She nods. "I've read about it, and it's a different type of power than demonic power, isn't it? And even Sacred Gears?"

"It is. Magic, is equations, knowledge on how to perform spells. Different yet similar to demonic power, it works differently than demonic power. Are you perhaps interested in learning magic? I could teach you if you'd like?"

"Y-You'd teach me about magic?"

Rossweisse confirmed it while nodding her head.

"I don't mind. Besides, you are Serafall-sama's Queen. And this is an exchange of information, and ideas. Perhaps, we could also exchange knowledge as well."

"S-Sure! What is it that you want to know?"

"I have heard of your, Sacred Gear. Would you mind if I saw it?"

Makoto shook his head, and summoned his Sacred Gear. The large creature appeared, and spread its wings. Because the place they were in was for magical inclined people like themselves, Asia and Ravel didn't even bat an eyelid as they continued talking.

"This is my Sacred Gear."

"Wow, simply fascinating." Rossweisse admired the creature. "It's completely made of ice, yet it doesn't feel cold from here." Rossweisse reached out her hand, then petted the bird. "Just a slight chill."

She couldn't help but notice that despite what she knew about it, the bird didn't seem to release much ice if any at all.

"It can turn as cold as ice when it needs to, but yeah, this is how it is. The bird is just that, a bird of ice. The temperature depends on my will, I believe. At least, that's how I believe it works, the bird is always linked to my mind somehow."

That's the best way Makoto could describe it, and in her own way, Rossweisse understood it all the same.

"That's quite fascinating if I do say so myself. The bird seems to be quite subservient to you, and doesn't move without your permission. Yet, I have heard rumours that it also is an independent avatar type, and has its own will?"

"That's right, it does. The bird acts on his own devices…I think it's a he anyway, I'm not all that sure honestly. It won't tell me its gender, not that I really mind either way, it's just my Sacred Gear to me, it doesn't matter all that much."

"I see…then, I have a suggestion. Perhaps, could you show me some fighting skills with some demonic power. I don't get the chance to study Devils all that much, and perhaps, you'd be willing to show me?"

"Eeh, yeah, I don't mind. It's just a practice type of battle, yes?"

Rossweisse giggled to herself slightly.

"Of course, I wouldn't want a Maou-sama to become angry at me for attacking her precious Queen."

"Then sure! I don't mind!"

Like that, Rossweisse, and Makoto moved to a different area, and so did Ravel and Asia once hearing what they were going to do together.


Making it to a training type area that was near the hotel, Rossweisse donned in her magical armour, and Makoto with his Sacred Gear in a smaller form on his shoulder, Makoto looked on towards Rossweisse who did the same.

"Go ahead Makoto-sama! Show her the power of the Queen!"

Ravel called from the side, as Asia cheered as well.

"Y-Yes, please do your best Makoto-san!"

Makoto smiled towards Asia, then turned towards Rossweisse.

"Then, Rossweisse-san, I am ready when you are."

"Yes, then let us please begin. First, let's try freezing my flames with your Sacred Gear."

"Sure!"

Rossweisse put her hand forward, and a magical circle appeared. It was different to Devils power, Makoto could tell that. Even Ravel could see that there were something different about these circles, and noted it to herself.

"Have this!"

Rossweisse shot off a burst of magical flames. It wasn't a low grade either. Rossweisse's skill ticked on and Makoto put his hand forward.

"Freeze!"

Makoto commanded, and the creature responded. A beam of ice erupted from the birds mouth and clashed with the fire. The fire struggled with Makoto's ice, but the ice crept around the fire, and froze it from the outside, into the inside, leaving a burst of ice.

Rossweisse stood there, impressed.

"Wow. It is as the rumours say." Makoto wore a confused face. "I designed the fire to make sure that freezing would be very difficult. Even some of the top magic users I've come across would find it hard freezing that fire. Yet, your Sacred Gear did it with only some difficulty. Your Sacred Gear is quite impressive, isn't it?"

"Naturally." Ravel commented. "Makoto-sama's Sacred Gear has the ability of freezing. That's what it does, and it can even freeze powers, and even the minds of enemies as well." Ravel boasted, then continued. "Makoto-sama has even frozen my flames once or twice when we were training, and freezing flames of a Phenex is quite hard, if not near impossible to do."

Rossweisse watched on with some amazement in her eyes.

"That's quite the feat, Hyoudou-kun. I am impressed, you've caught my attention. But, maybe you can't handle these!"

Rossweisse made a few magic circles around her body, and shot off different attributes. Fire, wind, and lightning. She made sure that they weren't easily to freeze, but Makoto still charged up his Sacred Gear anyway.

"Now my Sacred Gear, freeze!"

Makoto put the aura of the bird up a little bit, and the Sacred Gear responded. The bird shot off different types of ice attacks towards the attacks coming for him. The attacks and magical attacks clashed with one another.

Ravel and Asia watched on as magical power began to freeze. Though Makoto had to do it one by one, he was able to freeze each of the attacks, keeping Rossweisse intrigued more than she should be at this moment in time.

"Hyoudou-kun's Sacred Gear isn't a Longinus, but the ability to freeze is a broad term, and from seeing this, I am quite impressed. Bravo, Hyoudou-kun. I didn't think I would come across people that would be able to freeze my attacks so easily. I would like to study-"

"Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Asia let out a cry, Makoto's eyes and Rossweisse's eyes immediately going towards them, to see that there were beasts running around. They were black in nature, and had different looks to them, but they looked…odd. They looked like monsters from fairy tales.

"Makoto-sama!"

Ravel gathered flames and shot them towards the creatures. The powerful flames erupted all over the place she was, burning the creatures away. Makoto was impressed that she was able to do that, but he saw the creatures attacking Asia.

"Asia-chan!"

Makoto disregarded the match he was having with Rossweisse, and changed the bird into a sword right away. He swung the blade downwards, and a wave of ice shaped like a sharp curved edge erupted from the blade.

It went towards the creatures, and cut them in half as he jumped towards Asia. The creatures tried to bind her, but Makoto sliced each of them apart while keeping Asia safe, then stood in front of her to protect her.

"Makoto-san saved me."

Asia placed a hand on his back she seemed to be trembling.

"Don't worry Asia-chan, we'll deal with this. Ravel-san."

"Yes, right away."

Ravel came to Makoto's side, and sent a bunch of blasts towards the dark creatures, burning them out of existence. The ones that tried getting close, Makoto cut them apart, freezing them, and made sure that none of them managed to get through to him or Asia.

"Left!"

Rossweisse saw that a creature charged for Makoto and Asia from the side, so she raised a barrier at the same time that she came over, blocking the creature. Without missing a beat, Makoto pierced through the barrier, stabbing the creature in the heart, and froze it from the inside out, killing it off instantly.

"What are these things?"

Ravel asked, but Makoto didn't know what they were.

"I don't know, but we have to deal with them, whatever they are."

"If it's that, then leave it to me."

Rossweisse put the others behind her, and then activated different types of magical circles. Makoto and the others watched as different elements came out of the circles, and attacked all of the creatures, bombarding the battlefield as it did, Makoto being very impressed with such a feat from the girl.

"Damn, I think she was holding back during our fight."

"Yes, that's right, I think Rossweisse-sama is pretty strong."

Ravel spoke after Makoto, as Asia clung to his back tightly.

Once the wide range area was blown apart, Makoto was left to see an empty battlefield, all of the creatures dealt with.

"That was…so cool Rossweisse-san! How did you do that!?"

"I have been studying magic for years, it isn't a big deal. We needed to deal with them quickly, so I dealt with them quickly. But the question is, what were those creatures doing-"

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

Makoto, Rossweisse, Ravel and Asia were put on high alert, looking around the area for anything that could be there.

But then, the person who came out of the shadows was a young looking man, perhaps a year or so older than Makoto himself. He held an air of arrogance around him, but at the same time, a vulgar look was on his face. Though, Makoto could tell that the person wasn't the same as the person he met in the woods sometime ago.

"Ah, that was rather an anticlimactic battle, wasn't it?"

"Who are you?"

Rossweisse demanded, having a certain, off feeling to this person.

"My name, that's a good question. For now, call me Gren. Gren, that sounds good to me."

"Gren…what are you doing here?"

Makoto stood his ground as Gren snickered.

"Ooh sire, no need to taint yourself with these morsels any longer. You don't have to be in their presences, I don't mind taking you. Or maybe we could just come to an understanding, and just come with me. That would be better."

"Sorry, he's not going anywhere with you, Gren."

Ravel spat out as she made flames appear around her face.

Gren rolled his eyes, and snickered.

"Please don't point your hands at me, I would rather not have to dirty myself with your blood."

Makoto didn't like that, so he stood in front of Ravel, and glared.

"Don't threaten my friends, understand me?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I know it might be odd of me, but I really haven't come to fight you. You see, I am from the Grigori, and I saw the commotion, and saw that there was some differences going down here. I saw some bad creatures?"

"Grigori…you're a Fallen Angel?"

That's what Rossweisse got from this, and if that was the case, then she didn't know what it was that was going on.

"No, I am not a Fallen Angel, but I do work with the Fallen Angels. It seemed like something was going on here, and I came to check it out. But you beat the creatures quite well, I am pleasantly surprised. They weren't anything to laugh at either. But, they weren't that strong either, you did quite well each and everyone of you, swift work."

Gren spoke with a serene look on his face.

He then tightened his fist, and declared something while looking towards Makoto.

"I wish to fight you."

"I'm not fighting you here, and now, you've got another thing coming."

"Well, I'm sorry but you don't have a choice!"

Makoto watched as the man rushed forward with his fist cocked back.

Makoto was ready to defend himself, but Rossweisse put up a barrier.

"This is nonsense, don't even try anything!"

Gren didn't bat an eyelid as his fist crushed the barrier with a single strike, the shockwave being amazing. Makoto and Ravel had a hard time staying on their feet, while Asia was almost blown away, if it hadn't been for Makoto grabbing her tightly.

"How did you…"

Rossweisse was shocked that her barrier was gone, but that was replaced with shock when the mans fist went towards her.

"No!"

Makoto rushed to her side, and got between them, using his sword to block the strike, but Makoto felt the burst of air from the impact, forcing him off his feet, and onto the ground nearby on top of Rossweisse.

"Makoto-sama!" Ravel became enraged, and shot off some fire. "Don't even try and hurt either of them!"

Ravel's flames headed for the man, but Gren just crushed the flames with his bare hands, surprising Ravel and Asia even more.

"Tch, now, now ladies. I'm not interested in fighting you, I want to fight Makoto here, and maybe even this Valkyrie! I will make sure that they know the full extent of the attack that we're going to deal to him!"

Gren turned his attention back to Makoto again.

"Don't even mess with me!"

Makoto got to his feet, and slashed his sword forward. Gren caught the blade with his bare hand, which began freezing upon impact. Gren laughed, and broke the ice by tensing his muscles in his hand, letting the blade drop.

"Freezing, that's pretty good. Though this Sacred Gear is a gift after all, you're using it pretty well, aren't you? That's good, I am surprised that you can use it in such a manner, I am happy with your efforts."

"Freezing…what do you mean by gift? From God, right?"

"Well, perhaps. But I don't mind either way."

"You'll mind these!"

Makoto stabbed forward a number of times but the man avoided each of the stabs with his body moving around the battlefield. Rossweisse took to her feet, shooting off several magical attacks at the same time.

"You're not bad, magic girl. But, I won't have time to deal with you!"

Gren smashed through the magical attacks like they were nothing with his fists, and sent a fist right towards Rossweisse. She raised some barriers to defend herself, but the barriers crushed under his powerful fist.

"Leave her alone!" Makoto gathered flames from the left hand, and ice from the sword. Combining them together, Makoto made a sphere. It wasn't fully charged, but it was a strong attack on its own right. "Try this!"

Shooting off the sphere mixed of fire, and ice at the same time, Makoto was sure that the man would dodge. But he didn't. He stopped the attack on Rossweisse, and concentrated his power into his fist.

"Haaaaaaaah!"

Using his strength, Makoto was in awe, and shock when the attack that he used, was shattered.

Simply alone, that was amazingly powerful.

"Even if it wasn't fully powered, that attack could harm a High Class Devil, yet he was able to deal with it easily…just who is this person?"

The question on Makoto's mind was spoken by Ravel. Ravel stuck close to Asia, as she looked on as well.

"Well, it wasn't a bad attack. I was surprised when you made an attack like that. Seems good, but I won't have you deal with something like that. Good, I am surprised, yet not at the same time. A good mind that you have, but the power that you have, isn't what I am going to-"

Before he could finish off, a blur of white went past Makoto's eyes, and embedded a fist into the mans stomach. Because he was surprised, Gren spat out blood, as Makoto heard an announcement of something.

[Divide!]

Makoto felt like he had heard that somewhere before, but he couldn't put his finger on it, and he didn't think it was Ise's call either. Rossweisse, Ravel, and Asia walked to Makoto's side as he watched on, seeing the white thing drag the mans head down into the ground, gripping him by his neck.

"What did I say about attacking that boy?"

Makoto suspiciously looked at where the voice came from, and saw that there was an armoured. Person there. It was white, and looked beautiful. It reminded him of Ise's armour from the Riser fight, yet it also was, different at the same time. Makoto didn't know how to say it.

"Who is that?"

Asia didn't know, and neither did Makoto.

Ravel knew, and so did Rossweisse.

"That person is called the Hakuryuukou, that armour is also a Balance Breaker, and a giveaway that they are that person."

"I have heard that the Hakuryuukou is also involved with the Grigori, and if that man is from the Grigori, then why did the Hakuryuukou stop that person?"

"Who is the Hakuryuukou?"

At Makoto's question, neither Rossweisse, or Ravel knew the answer.

However, Ravel then confirmed something.

"Makoto-sama, that person is also…"

Before she could finish, she heard the sound of squeezing, seeing the Hakuryuukou squeezing the persons throat.

"Aaah, I was only greeting him Hakuryuukou, no need to grip my throat so tightly."

"Azazel also won't be pleased that you made contact with them here."

The voice, sounding female spat out at Gren.

Gren was dropped to the ground and then the white armour pointed.

"Go, right now. And if I catch you anywhere near that boy, then I'll rip out your spine and beat you to death with it."

Gren didn't look all that frightened, but saluted the white armour anyway.

"Aye, aye Hakuryuukou-sama! I shall go now!"

The man activated a circle beneath his feet, and disappeared within seconds.

The white armour was about to take off, when Makoto called out.

"You saved us, thank you very much! E-Even though that person was also apart of your group, you saved us!"

The Hakuryuukou turned towards Makoto, and the yellow eyes that the armour gave off, Makoto found them oddly comfortingly.

"Gren acted on his own agenda, Queen of Serafall. He, also caused trouble, Azazel will deal with his punishment."

"Aah…I see, then okay! We'll tell our superiors about this!"

"Yes, that would be for the best." The Hakuryuukou walked closer to Makoto, the others standing closer. When she reached out her hand, he naturally pulled away. "I won't hurt you."

She sounded calmly, Makoto didn't know why that was. Her hand went over Makoto's face, the armoured hand that was. While the armour was hard, the touch felt, soft, almost loving at the same time. It was like a touch Makoto had felt before, but he couldn't understand why that was.

"W-What are you doing…?"

The Hakuryuukou pulled her hand away from Makoto's face, and then extended her wings.

"I, am sorry that Gren acted on his own."

"O-Oh, no problem Hakuryuukou-san. Thank you for the save again!"

The Hakuryuukou extended their large wings of light, then took off into the sky.

Once she had disappeared, everyone took a breath.

"That was extremely odd, and random. What where those creatures? And why did that person show up? And why did the Hakuryuukou show up? I'll have to contact Odin-sama right away, and check things out."

Rossweisse pulled away from the group as Makoto turned to Ravel and Asia.

"It's best that we explain to Sera-tan about what happened, she might be worried."

"Good idea Makoto-sama, we should inform her right away. It's weird though, the Hakuryuukou seemed to, almost want to touch you for some odd reason…I mean, it seemed more, comforting than anything."

"I know what you mean…very odd indeed."

Makoto had to wonder just what the heck was going on with his life now.


After everything was said and done, Makoto had to wonder what was going on that with Gren person, and what he wanted with Makoto, and the others. It seemed, something more than it was said.

Serafall didn't look worried, and neither was Odin, so he had to make sure that he wasn't worried, even if he kind of was. Two people now had said they know of him, but he didn't know either of them, it didn't make sense to him at all.

Makoto and the others retired for the night…well, that was the plan for Makoto anyway. But, he saw Ravel was sat by herself in a quiet area of the lobby, and seemed to be contemplating something.

Deciding to see what was wrong, Makoto walked over.

"Ravel-san, how are you?"

Ravel looked up from the place she was looking at, and matched his different coloured eyes.

"I'm okay Makoto-sama, I was just thinking after what happened today, what we did with the meeting, and the other things. I, don't think I've had an enjoyment like this for a long time. Usually, Onii-sama and the others don't do bonding activities like this, nor do we get to relax this well either."

"Aah, about that. I was wondering, why did you choose to come with us anyway?"

"O-Oh, I was just…" Ravel paused, and collected her thoughts. "Honestly, I was confirming something inside of myself."

Makoto sat down as he listened.

"What is it, if you don't mind me asking?"

"I don't mind. I was just, since the fight with Zephyrdor-sama, I have been thinking about, different things. Like, I remember how brave you were during the fight, and how everyone pulled together. Onii-sama's team was basically, a dictatorship, and while it works for Onii-sama, I could see that when we fought together, the team was a more cohesive force, a force where we all contributed, I wished to understand more of it."

"Sorry that you didn't get to experience much of that with us right now. Honestly, this was quite the relaxing day so we didn't really have much to do. Well, I mean, besides the attack that we had from that person and such."

Ravel shook her head as she gripped the sides of her skirt.

"It doesn't matter much about that Makoto-sama. I enjoyed the friendly environment that we had today. Everyone got along so well. Even you and Rossweisse-sama, you seemed to be able to talk quite casually."

"Ehe, yeah~ Rossweisse-san is a nice girl, she and I talked normally. Seems like we have something in common with unruly bosses, we can't handle the fact that they sometimes do things that kind of make us annoyed. We also have to make sure that they do as they are told, and sometimes, that's more difficult than anything. And we're going to stay in contact as well, she promised that she'd teach me a little more about magic, and I would allow her to study the freezing capabilities of my Sacred Gear."

"That's nice, Makoto-sama made a friend during this trip. Though that Gren person does worry me. I know that Serafall-sama and Odin-sama are going to be talking to Azazel-sama about the incident, I just worry that he seemed to almost, want you for something."

Makoto laid a hand on the back of his neck, nodding his head along.

"I know, it seems the more I delve into the supernatural, I feel like things are going down and I don't like them either. But, I got to meet some amazing people, so I am content with that. But Ravel-san, after this trip, are you going back to the Underworld?"

Ravel's face turned a little red as he cocked his head to the side.

"A-About that, the Underworld currently don't need me…I mean, Onii-sama is depressed, and is recovering from, many things. And, I also wish to spend time with Millicas-sama. Makoto-sama, would you mind if I stayed in the human world for a little while longer?"

"A-Ah, of course not! You can stay in the human world, it would be fun! We'd have all of the team together again, wouldn't we!?"

"T-Then I will without restraint! Also…maybe this would be bad of me…but, I currently don't have anywhere to stay in the human world…and Millicas-sama said that she sleeps in your bed a lot, so would it be okay if I also occupy the Hyoudou household for a little while longer? I shall make myself useful of course-"

"Hehe, it's okay Ravel-san."

He cut her off, her eyes swimming with new emotions.

"Makoto-sama…"

"Yes, I think it would be good, don't you Ravel-san? We'll have lots of fun! I know that Sera-tan is soon going to the Underworld for a little while for some business, we would be able to relax, hopefully during that time!"

Ravel's face turned upwards.

She was glad that now, she would be able to spend time with her friend Millicas and also get to know Makoto some more as well.


Later that night, Makoto waited for Serafall to return to the room. Asia was fast asleep, clung to his arm. But that was the normal now, and he didn't mind. In fact, he pretty much enjoyed the fact that she was like this now.

He thought about what happened.

With the man named Gren.

The Hakuryuukou.

The feeling of the girl was something that Makoto, knew.

He didn't know why he knew, but he knew there was something going on with her. Whatever it was, Makoto was going to find out, who and what she was. It was only a matter of time.

Serafall soon came into the room, and smiled when she saw her Queen on the bed, in nothing but his underwear.

"Aah, my cute Ma-tan is here~"

"Sera-tan, what happened with Odin-sama and everything…?"

Serafall took off her clothes, even her bra, but saved her panties on her body. Makoto watched the beautiful Serafall with a red face as she hopped onto the bed, and brought her body closer to Makoto's own body.

"My cute Ma-tan, you don't have to worry."

"But, did you speak with Azazel-sama?"

"I did yes, that's right. It seems that naughty person who attacked you is a reckless person and is being dealt with swiftly. But, they managed to get him back because of the Hakuryuukou. Seems like she came just in time. Azazel-chan said that she was there because she was checking up on someone."

Makoto wondered if he was checking up on him, or something else. Because she was looking at him, the way that she looked at him felt familiar, and her voice also sounded familiar as well but he didn't know what kind of familiar it was.

"Ooh, I see. I'm glad that they managed to stop him, he was really strong…yet…"

"Yet my cute Ma-tan?"

Makoto furrowed his brows.

"This is going to sound strange, but it felt like I knew him. That's impossible, right Sera-tan? I've never met that person before. It's weird, Sera-tan, I don't think that I've met him, but he was speaking like he had met me before…how is that possible?"

Serafall comfortingly wrapped her arms around Makoto's body and held him closer to her body.

"I don't know Ma-tan~ Maybe that's another life Ma-tan~ Maybe you knew him in a past life or something~ But, it seems like you impressed that Rossweisse-chan Ma-tan~ You managed to defend yourself quite well, I am proud of my cutest Queen~"

"O-Oh, thank you very much Sera-tan. I tried my best…but, those weird creatures, I wonder what they were?"

"Hmmm, that's a cute question Ma-tan. We'll have to find out won't we? But, Azazel-chan said that this Gren-chan won't be coming around again. It seems like this person has always been a loose cannon and now has become something of an annoyance."

Makoto took in a relieved breath, cuddling Serafall tightly.

"I'm glad that it has been resolved for the moment. Sera-tan, did the meeting with Odin-sama go down well?"

"It did yeah Ma-tan, we got to have something's that the Underworld have been looking for. My job seems quite tough now, doesn't it Ma-tan?"

Serafall lightly petted Makoto's hair, and rain her fingers through his blonde and black locks, showing a cute smile that was on her face.

"I was wondering how you get through it. I mean, Odin-sama seemed quite lax, but imagining dealing with people that could cause problems, I don't know how I would deal with it Sera-tan, you seemed so calm when doing it though."

"That's because I have my Ma-tan to come back, when I get back to you~ Ma-tan is that important to me~ When I feel worried, or anything, my cute Ma-tan is able to come to my side, and I am able to feel better than before."

"I-I don't do much though Sera-tan."

That's what Makoto thought to be the truth, but Serafall shook her head.

"That's not true Ma-tan, you manage to show a cute smile like no other to me. I mean, the way that you deal with things my cute Ma-tan, I also gain strength from my cute Ma-tan. And when you're here, I feel calmer, relaxed. And now, I am glad that my cute Ma-tan is here with me. you see, you're just as important to me as my job is. Before my cute Ma-tan, I always felt something was missing, and now Ma-tan is here to fill that part for me! I get to spend time with the cutest boy in the world, and spend sexy fun time with my cute Ma-tan as well!"

Serafall cupped Makoto's face, and brought her lips towards his own.

It just felt like a natural response, to the day that they had.

The feeling of the others lips was amazing, it felt like they were complete with one another.

Makoto and Serafall's kissing lasted for a minute, and when it finished, Serafall smiled down at Makoto.

"Ma-tan, you know, you're the only Queen I could want."

"E-Eh, why are you saying that now…?"

"Because I wanted my Ma-tan to know that he's the only one for me. I want Ma-tan to know about my heart resides with Ma-tan, he makes my job easier. Just by being near Ma-tan, my stress has gone away all together. I couldn't and wouldn't ask for a better Queen."

"Sera-tan…"

Makoto pushed his lips against Serafall's own for a first. She didn't think he'd do that, but it was a nice way of spreading love around without saying anything. Makoto pulled away with pink on his cheeks, but a smile as well.

"That was a cute kiss Ma-tan, you seem to be more bold lately."

"I-I'm just being a good Queen, right?"

Serafall smiled wider, nodding her head.

"The best Queen. Now, allow me to kiss my cutest Queen…"

Serafall pushed Makoto back onto the bed, and overlapped her lips with his own for a classic, but loving kissing session. It was one of pure love, and affection. Though they hadn't said anything, it didn't matter right now, they just enjoyed the feeling of one another's lips on each other's bodies.


When Makoto, Asia, Ravel, and Serafall returned home a few days later, they were given quite the sight to behold.

"Here you go Princess! Here's what you wanted! Your tuna flakes cut up into half biteable sizes, and your freshly squeezed cows milk, with a hint of cinnamon flavour to give it that extra spice! How about that Princess, did I do good!?"

Ise looked frightened as Princess sat on a throne like chair. Rias, who was behind her with a soft looking brush, combed Princess' fur like she had nothing left to lose, and she really didn't have much left to lose, her dignity was gone by now.

"Princess! Your fur is beautiful! I mean, the silky softness of your fur is awe-inspiring! The coat, the gentleness of your fur is beautiful! I want to stroke your fur all day with this brush of mine Princess! You're amazing!"

Rias stroked Princess more and more as the others looked on.

Princess meowed adorably in Makoto's eyes, and fearfully for Rias, Ise, and Ravel. Asia and Serafall were just struggling with the fact that they were subservient to the cat before them, it didn't make sense to either Serafall or Asia.

"Ise-nii, Buchou? What's going on?"

Ise and Rias looked up from Princess, and tried their best not to cry.

"Makoto…" Ise rasped as he fed Princess. "You're back…"

Ise was more relieved than anything. He was so happy to see Makoto again that he could cry.

Rias felt the same, putting a hand over her mouth and controlled the happy sobbing.

"Princess is okay…Princess is our best friend, isn't that right Princess?"

"Nyaaaa~"

It sounded happy enough, Princess wagged her tail happily and didn't stop either.

"Ooh Princess, have they been taking care of you?"

Makoto walked forward, and held out his hands.

"Nyaaaa~"

Princess jumped, getting into his arms, and allowed his body to cuddle her tightly.

"Ooh I missed you as well Princess~ I thought about you a lot while I was away~ I'm just glad that you're okay Princess!"

Rias and Ise felt like crying as Princess looked back at them over Makoto's shoulder.

"Nyaaa~ Nyaaa~ Nyaaaa~"

"Did they look after you Princess? Did they take care of you?"

"We did!" Ise argued, and cried at the same time. "W-We did our best for her! But she's…" Rias looked with enraged eyes. "…she's a lovely cat who can do no wrong." Rias nods. "M-Makoto, I'm sure you and Princess wish to spend time together, away from us, forever, right?"

"Ooh, I'll make sure Princess is well looked after now~ Don't worry Ise-nii, thank you for taking care of her for me! I mean, she is a good kitten after all~"

Ise, and Rias didn't share the fact that she was a supposed 'good kitten' when they thought the opposite for him. They stood tall, and walked towards the door. They didn't even say anything to anyone else, they were too frightened to speak about anything openly, it didn't seem like it was an easy deal to deal with.

But when they walked past Princess, the cat stared at them, and that frightened them more than life itself. It was like they wouldn't be able to deal with life anymore, it was a very frightening experience honestly.

When they had gone, Makoto tilted his head.

"Seems like they are acting weird."

Ravel looked towards the cat and Princess glared right at her. She swore that she saw the cat was giving off dangerous looking eyes.

"Princess…Makoto-sama, this cat, are you sure that it is normal?"

"It is yes, Ravel-san. Please don't be worried, Princess is a cute kitten~"

"Y-Yes, that's right Ravel-san." Asia interjected, and held the cat tightly. "Princess is a lovely kitty and I love her very much~"

Asia didn't really understand why everyone hated Princess, since she always was a good cat with her.

Even Serafall also was the same.

"Ravel-chan! Are you picking on Princess!? I mean, she's a very adorable girl! She's a very cute cat! You can't bully Princess! She'll have to bully you if you attempt to bully her, she's a lovely kitten that doesn't need abuse like this! Okay!? Is that alright with you Ravel-chan!?"

Ravel stared at the place Princess was, and saw that Princess was holding up her paw with claws out. The claws looked like they could claw through steel itself, and that wasn't a very frightening sight to the young Phenex.

She had to walk away very quickly, as Princess was frightening her. She didn't want to be frightened of the cat, but she had to leave the cat alone, it wasn't something that she could understand. Why Princess was like this, and what it could do in the future.

As soon as she was gone, Makoto, Asia, and Serafall all praised the cat again and again, enjoying the very fact that Princess was very soft, and Princess…she was loving life right now, she had her 'servants' and she also had a loving home. Princess, was living a good life indeed.


End chapter!

So, this chapter gave some Rossweisse introduction! Yes, she's been introduced, for quite a good reason actually. It will be shown later on why she was introduced now, and what she's going to bring later on. But there was some good Akeno bonding time, revealing slowly little by little of herself to Makoto, the same with Koneko. Ravel came back, and she's gonna be sticking around for a while yet! Princess even is gathering 'servants' through fear!

Next chapter, we're going right into the Excalibur arc, which brings major Makoto and Yumi time, Irina's gonna be coming into the story with Xenovia, and perhaps a little more backstory on Makoto, and the mysterious man from way back in the familiar forest part will also be getting expanded upon, just like Gren, who was just introduced.

Well, until next time! Thanks for reading!
