The day after the fallen angel incident, the ORC was welcoming the new bishop, Asia. She introduced herself as Asia Argento, a faithful disciple of God who was excommunicated from the church due to her healing an injured devil using her Sacred Gear, Twilight Healing. She was then going to other places until a fallen angel, who posed herself as an angel told her to go to the church here in Kuoh.
Now that Asia was reincarnated as a member of Rias' peerage, she would go to school as well. Gin went to the school. When break started, he got up from his seat to buy some bread. When he reached the stairs he saw Asia.
"Ah. Takehada-senpai."
"Just call me Gin. Anyway how's school for you Asia?"
"It's great senpai. I made new friends with class. Also I'm classmates with Issei-kun."
"That's great Asia. Well see you around." Gin said as he started to descend the stairs.
"Um…. Gin-senpai. Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"Why are you called the Ice Prince by the girls here?"
"I…. ummm, I don't know how to answer that. Try asking the girls."
"Oh, ok. See you later Gin-senpai." Asia said as she walked away.
Gin reached the cafeteria and he saw the usual scene. The girls waiting for him and offering him some bread, to which Gin declines or ignores and buys some bread himself, making some of the girls sad and most of them would squeal in delight saying that he lives up to his title as the 'Ice Prince of Kuoh Academy'. After buying some bread, he ate it and went back to the classroom for the next class to begin.
When classes ended, Gin silently thanked himself for surviving another day without sleeping during class and went immediately to the clubroom and waited for the others to arrive. After a few minutes, Akeno entered the clubroom and saw Gin laying down on the sofa.
"Ara, ara. Gun-kun you're here early. Would you like some cup of tea?"
"Sure."
While Akeno was preparing tea. Kiba and Koneko entered the clubroom and saw Gin lounging on the couch.
"Oh, you're already here Gin-san." Kiba said as he walked to the opposite couch and sat on it while Koneko sat beside Gin and ate her usual sweets.
"Koneko, you're awfully eating a lot of sweets every day. Isn't it a bit bad for your health?"
"Gin-san, you're awfully concerned about Koneko. What happened to the two of you?"
"Ar, ara. Could it be Gin-kun has feelings for Koneko?" Akeno said as she served the teas.
"I-It isn't like that at all. I'm just…. Never mind."
"Hehehehe." Akeno laughed while Gin was staring at the ground with a small blush in his face.
After that conversation, they talked about random things until the rest arrived.
Rias sat her desk, as usual, and asked Asia about the different things she learned while she was still a nun.
"Everyone, I am so happy that I became a devil because I get to be with Issei-san a little longer but I somehow when I pray, I get a painful headache." Asia said as she tried to pray but got a severe headache instead.
"Hehehe Asia, you are a devil now, so you can't pray to God anymore."
"Oh, yeah that's right. Anyway, Rias-sempai, you said that if I could explain the different things I learned in the church. So, this is a Bible. This is where we read the word of God. I have a favorite verse, let me read it to you guys." Asia said as she opened the Bible but got another headache.
"Awawa, it hurts so much."
The others laughed at Asia for her clumsiness.
"Ah, this is the cross." She said as she uncovered a cross-shaped metallic object from a cloth.
"This is what we wear in the church. It could also be used for exorcism."
"And this is the holy water." Asia said as she retrieved a bottle filled with clear water.
"This is what we use when baptizing someone or giving the blessings. It can also burn a devil's skin just by touching it."
The devils payed attention to what Asia was saying especially Rias. Gin occasionally listened, just in case he needs to fight devils, but he mostly drank his tea and thought about something else.
When Asia was done explaining the different holy objects, the others went straight away to chatting with Asia. Gin went outside to train himself especially his stamina so that he won't get easily tired after using his swords.
By the time he was done, it was already nighttime. He went back inside the clubroom and saw that they were already finishing up their chat. The others went to do some contracts while Issei went home and Asia went to her room. Gin thinking it was time to rest, took a shower and went inside his room. He changed his clothes and laid down on the bed. When Gin was already asleep, a soft knock was heard from the door and it opened. Coming into the room was Koneko, who saw Gin fast asleep, went beside his bed.
"I'm sure it's alright to lay beside him before he wakes up tomorrow." Koneko said as she carefully slipped inside the blanket beside Gin.
"Besides we are the same species. We should stay close together and take care of each other" Koneko said as she closed her eyes and cuddled beside Gin.
A/N
Sorry guys if I updated just now, I got a severe fever and could not think straight enough to continue this chapter. I'm not sure if this chapter is good enough for you guys, so please tell me if it did not suit your tastes and I'll try to make it up to you in the next chapter.
I'll be adding a new poll regarding the Rating Game between Rias and Riser. So I'll be leaving the decision to you guys if Gin should join as a temporary member or just stay as a spectator. I'll bring back the old poll once I'm done with the Riser Arc.
That's it for me and see you next chapter
