Two days after the incident, everything went back to normal for Keisuke. They had placed Saya back at her home straight after and everyone came to school the next morning. Saya had acted like nothing had happened.
"Hey! Kei-kun!" Saya called before Keisuke placed his bag down.
"Hey to you too. You seem healthier today." Keisuke commented. Since the accident, Valshion had taken care of Saya and had erased her memories of the incident.
That being said, today would be the first day she came into school since the incident. From Keisuke's perspective, she seemed to be fine, nothing out of the ordinary. Valshion even attached a charm on her that would help ward off any magical beings that may attack her in the future. So even then, Keisuke would still see her smile as per usual.
'Valshion…Thank You…You have my gratitude!' Keisuke thought in his head.

New Life: New Friends

When school ended it was time for club activities. Keisuke walked to the clubroom alone.
He entered the room and walked past Sylvia. "Hey, Burne-san." He greeted before he realized something, he looked towards Sylvia before turning his head and looking back at her again.
Sylvia did a light bow, "Good afternoon, Keisuke-san."
"Wait! Wait! Wait! What is going on?!" He walked up to them before he turned to Serena. "Why is she here?"
Serena placed down her tea. "Oh I forgot to tell you, Sylvia-san came up to me and said yes. Since it's a good opportunity, I've made her into a Devil and added her to the Peerage. Here is my new Knight, Sylvia Burne."
"Don't say it like its really simple! Did Kaoru-buchou know about this?" Keisuke asked her.
"Yeah, she was there when I did the ritual," Serena answered with Kaoru nodding happily.
"Xarin-sensei?"
"I only found out last night when I came to make dinner," Xarin answered, simply.
"Christie-sempai?"
"Kaoru told me this morning," Christie answered, laughing slightly whilst scratching her head.
"Why doesn't anyone tell me anything?" Keisuke went to crouch in the corner of the room.
"Don't worry about it too much," Kaoru said, smiling as she patted his head.
Keisuke pushed her hand away. "No! I'm not loved…No one tells me anything," Keisuke cried. Before he saw something in the corner of his eye, he noticed on the head desk there was a cake. "Why is there cake?" Keisuke asked.
"Well since this is such a rare time. Why don't we celebrate?" Kaoru smiled.
Serena clapped her hands together. "Yes, to celebrate the arrival of our newest member of the Expedition club!" she agreed with Kaoru's idea.

Standing on the rooftop with his arms crossed and eyes shut, Sanosuke smirked. "So you've found your comrades, Sylvia." He said to himself.
-x-x-
It was soon after Keisuke agreed to let Valshion wipe Saya's memories clean of the incident.
"Syl-chan, Sano-kun. You two go home first, I'm going take care of our sleeping beauty here." Valshion suggested.
The two looked to each other and nodded.
"Guess this concludes our business together. We'll see you guys at school tomorrow!" Sanosuke bowed before Sylvia and himself began to walk away.
"Wait!"
Both of them stopped and looked to see Serena taking a deep breath in.
"I've had this on my mind for a while now. Would you both like to join us? As part of my peerage?" She asked.
Kaoru looked her King wondering if she was sure about this. "Serena," she whispered. All she can do is to support her king's decision if her king was serious right now.
"I'm not asking for an answer right now. I'm just wondering if you two are interested in joining us."
"Then you will get my answer now. I'm sorry but I must decline." Sanosuke bowed politely before he continued walking away.
"Then why?"
Sanosuke stopped. He looked over his shoulder and mumbled these words. "I don't have the right."

"Cherish them. Don't ever make the same mistakes I did." Sanosuke added.

In Kuoh Academy, a school in the neighbouring town, where another story is taking place.
"Amy-san!"
A young girl heard the call. She turned around to see two students around her age. One was skinny girl with chin length pink hair and big green eyes, Katase, the other girl was curvier than the first girl with long brown hair tied to a ponytail with purple eyes, Murayama.
"Katase-san, Murayama-san. Is there a problem?" the Amy asked. Amy was a beautiful young girl, ranked no 5 by the student body as one of its idols. She had long silver hair with streak of red that were swept to the side and golden yellow eyes. She wore a ribbon at the top of her head. She had a cute face, which were complimented by her hair and smile. She wore the Kuoh academy uniform which gave emphasis on her bust, which would have rivaled Serena's.
Both of the girls shook their heads. "No, just wanted to talk that's all."
"Hey have you seen the new episode, yet?" Katase asked as the three girls continued walking.

Through her black and light blue magic circle, Valshion appeared in a forest. Valshion walked forward, looking around taking in the nostalgia that the area offered. This actually was the forest by the town. She managed find herself in front of a pair of gravestones.
"Hey…Long time no see." she greeted. The names on the graves read 'Shinichi Kiriya' and 'Leliel'.
"Your son came back. And I hope you can see that he has grown up quite a lot since I last saw him." She doesn't understand why she was doing this. She knew that dead humans would go to the realm of the dead while devils, angels and fallen angels alike would be vaporized by the emptiness of the void between dimensions. So there was no way for her to talk to them, maybe it just soothed her to think that she had someone or something to talk to?
"Don't worry about him, I will protect him and Sylvia. After all, they are like family to me now."
