- Ise-kun, who have you brought to us?

All the demons of Kyo Academy, including Sitri and her figures, had gathered in the occult club room. The people arranged themselves in a semicircle, thus surrounding a baffled Issei and a damn strange girl with an aura... with a very strange aura.

None of the demons had ever seen anything like it. She seemed to have both holy energy and demonic at the same time, but it was simply impossible. Not in this volume, anyway. And then there was that strange smell.

The girl was strange. Her showing up with Issei was even stranger. And her actions even stranger.

The stranger's face was expressionless, like a statue of herself, but her eyes, filled with power, were curious and interested. To everyone and everything. She looked with interest at the porcelain teapot, the cookie basket, the cups, the table, the demons, but touched everything... afraid. Or afraid.

Yes, those were the only words Rias could use to describe the feeling she was getting. As if a rather cute, in her rough opinion, girl knew everything about everything and yet at the same time saw the same teapot for the first time and for some reason she was afraid to touch it.

- This... - Issei smiled stupidly and scratched the back of his head. - My friend?

- Are you asking us, Issei-kun? - Kiba, the platinum blond in the academy uniform, rubbed the bridge of his nose and sighed.

- We met by chance, and then an explosion and here I am, and I took her with me. Actually, that's all, hehe!

The pervert had to shut up when he saw the crooked smiles of the demons around him, who understood nothing of the "most detailed" explanation.

- Ise-kun, don't tell me that. - Akeno covered her mouth with her hand and added a shiver to her voice. - You couldn't restrain your beast and snatched this poor girl?

- The enemy of all women. - Koneko nodded, looking at the frightened boy with undisguised disgust.

- I call the police. - Momo took out her cell phone, slowly dialing the numbers.

- I DIDN'T STEAL ANYBODY, I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP HER! - The guy exploded, jumping up from his seat and clenching his right hand into a fist, and then added, glancing at his "girlfriend". - I hope so.

Sonya did not like the circus that was unfolding at all, on the contrary, she was wary of this stranger with a very, very strange aura.

She certainly wasn't human, but she couldn't be called a demon, a fallen woman, or an angel, either. A half-breed? Nephelim...?

But they don't exist.

It was impossible to create a hybrid of demon and angel; there had been attempts, she knew about them, but they had ended badly. And if so, what is it? Didn't Issei bring trouble upon them all by bringing this girl here?

And no one knows when she came to town or how... Nor do the Fallen.

If Sona hurriedly sets up barriers, sends her familiars, and organizes some kind of zone of influence, then her friend Rias is just making plans about how to organize a normal zone of influence.

The young demoness regrets more than once that they didn't do it sooner, thinking that the town would be quiet and nothing would happen there. As you know, there's devils in a quiet place, as the appearance of the Red Valliant's host, the two clans of demons, the fallen and the traitors of the escaped demons, all testament to that. Now this, what happens next?

A full-scale war?

Sona shrugged off her thoughts and squinted at the innocent face of the new maiden:

- I think our new acquaintance has a tongue and there's no point in us speculating. Don't we? - Citry's words stopped the argument and everyone silently nodded and looked at the strange creature, who had taken the form of a beautiful girl.

- Hi, my name is Rias. Rias Gremory, and you? - The head of the occult club decided to try her luck first, sitting down on the right side of the girl and peering into her eyes in a friendly manner.

She didn't think her pawn could bring someone dangerous.

- ... - the girl looked silently into the demoness' eyes, then lowered her gaze and answered softly. - Eva.

- What a... beautiful name. - The girl's voice was quiet but very beautiful, and her name made several demons frown. - How did you meet Issei? Did he do anything wrong?

- Hey, sampai, I didn't... - Gremory stopped the flow of his words with her hand, continuing to stare at Eva.

- My Maker said I would meet my destiny in the City. - The girl looked around at everyone present and pressed her hands to her voluminous chest. - Are you my destiny?

- "Maker?" - Eva's words didn't please everyone, except Issei.

It was too... strange as it was. "Eve and the Creator," her strange aura and many other things suggest certain thoughts, though very delusional.

- Don't tell me that the Biblical God created and sent her to Kyo?" said Tsubaki slowly, fixing her glasses.

- No, He couldn't have created Nefalem. - Sona answered immediately, causing the conversation to erupt with renewed vigor. - Though what do we know about Him?

- Nephalem? - Issei still didn't understand what was going on and why panic was slowly starting among his friends.

- A hybrid of Angel and Demon, Ise-kun. - Akeno replied, glancing frowningly at Eva. - We're enemies, don't forget. He may have created Angels, but Demons are not His creation. The Nephalems don't and can't exist-it's... I don't know, it's just against nature and its laws. It's the same as mixing white and black in the hope of getting gold.

The demons nodded as they continued to stare at Eva, glowing red for some reason.

The very idea that she was a Nephalem was foolish in itself, well, after all, why would He create a Nephalem and put it in the hands of demons? Even if He somehow inconceivably managed to create Nefalem, giving it into the hands of the Demons is nonsense. Crazy.

Sona adjusted her glasses and turned to Eve:

- Eva, do you have wings? - She stared into space for a few seconds before she nodded. - Could you show them to us?

- Yes.

The pink-haired girl rose from the sofa and the next second there were three pairs of wings behind her: leather like demons, angelic-white and black like the fallen.

- Mother of God... - Momo whispered sincerely, then winced at the clenched temples, as did the rest of the shocked demons, who looked at the creature's wings in disbelief.

- We're in huge trouble. - Citry said quietly, taking off her glasses with a trembling hand. - What are we going to do?

-= Neo Mori's lab. Same time. =-

Neo and the Office sat comfortably on the white sofa, looking through the monitor at the panic unfolding in the occult club. Both minds smiled at the corners of their lips and slowly drank their tea, bringing the cup to their lips in sync.

- Aizen-kun, why did you give Eva-chan to them? - The dragon adjusted her glasses as she looked at the brown-haired guy.

- She will kill everyone in this office. - The guy replied calmly, causing the Office to raise her left eyebrow questioningly. - Or won't she?

- What do you mean, Eisen-kun?

- In five minutes, she'll remember her Creator's words. The order to kill everyone around her. She'll wipe the city completely off the face of the earth, sending everyone to rebirth. And a new war will begin. - Neo sipped his tea and leaned against the comfortable back of the couch. - Isn't that sad?

- But... what about your plans? What about your goals? Why did you orchestrate that whole series of events? Why did you leave Issei-kun human? - The office couldn't understand why Mori was ruining his own plans, which he had spent a lot of time and effort on. It was atypical of him. Abnormal.

- Office-chan, look at the screen. - The boy pointed his finger at the events going on in the occult club. Issei grabbed Eva's arm and defensively stood in front of her, shouting at the top of his voice that he would not let her get rid of her, protect her from all harm and many other pathological nonsense. - Look into Eva's eyes. What do you see?

- She's about to cry. She doesn't understand what is going on and why this man is protecting her, nor why she will bring trouble to everyone, perhaps start a new war, as Sona-chan suggested. Eva-chan doesn't understand why they want to get rid of her, but she understands that Issei-kun is protecting her. Realizes that he does so with all sincerity. The first reasonable one to show her kindness and warmth. - The dragon smiled and nodded understandingly. - Eve's sinfulness is about to happen.

- Exactly. - The boy nodded as he stroked the dragon's silken hair. - Now my Creation will fall, disobeying the Creator's orders.

- Ironic. / Ironic. - The two intelligent creatures said so simultaneously as they sipped their cups of tea and adjusted their spectacles.

- And why would you want to do that? - Ophis continued, looking intently at the sobbing Eva with the purple halo over her head. She was hugging Issei, who was soothing her, apologizing through her tears to her Maker.

- She is already playing her part. - Neo shrugged and reluctantly rose from the couch. - Office-chan, would you like to meet my friends?

- They're noisy. - The dragon grimaced, dematerializing her cup of tea.

- They're funny. - The guy took a black crystal cross out of his breast pocket. - Office-chan, I'm going to give you a gift. It will hide your aura and power. - Neo carefully placed the cross around the girl's neck, looking at the gift with interest. - And it perfectly highlights your beautiful eyes. Couldn't you change your hair color to white and adjust your clothes a little?

The dragon's hair was slowly dyed white, and the dress changed to a plain white dress with the same shoes. It was completely different from the last "provocative" version.

- Thank you, Office-chan. - Mori accepted Office's outstretched hand and the next moment the two intelligences disappeared from the lab, appearing not far from Kyo's academy.

- You said they were your friends? - The girl didn't let go of her companion's hand, peering at the people walking about their business. - And you're going to cause them so much pain.

- It's easy to deceive the one who is most loyal to you. - The boy answered calmly, turning his gaze to the frowning sky. The first raindrops fell on his glasses, splashing across his face like tears. - They are my friends. And it is because of this that I will take responsibility for giving them pain. Physically, mentally, and morally.

- Aizen-kun, are we friends?

- Yes.

*Remember, they don't know God is dead.

And yes, the Office didn't hide the pointy ears.

Events are slowly gaining momentum.
