Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

Wacko12; Aah, I see. I'm not really caught up with One Piece so I only know a little bit of who that is.

Frozen Shadow 95; Those two are pretty cool, thanks for the vote!

Hellspam; Thanks! Yeah, it was pretty cool, wasn't it? Asia and Zenki together, and even in this chapter, they even have interactions! I guess that she will be really, she seems to be the first person he has developed feelings for, even if it is only from seeing her kindness. Well, when she is introduced, is going to be interesting. Those two are quite unusual, I like them. Hehe, that's a secret~ You'll have to wait and see who it is~

Harem Master123; There's no need for it, I already got it lol~ Yeah, that was pretty bad for him, wasn't it? Well, he'll see eventually that Zenki is quite right. Honestly, I wouldn't even be sure if it would be possible, being a Maou's child and all. Heh, I guess they do, but that's only because small breasted girls haven't been overly flirtatious with him. Ravel isn't his fiancée, she's apart of his family, but yeah I get what you're talking about. And awesome suggestions!

War historian; Well, he has Sona and others can wear them~ And he still has Serafall as well.

DocSlendy; Yeah, that's going to be apart of Zenki's own story, like how the others have their own stories and lives and such. It surely is going to in the future, huh. She doesn't have a mutation piece in this, hence the two pieces. That's a possibility~

Sandman001; They are, it is either Issei or Zenki, I wouldn't leave them out as they are apart of the main cast, I couldn't leave them out even if I wanted too, which I don't as I personally like both of them.

BlueBlade87; You're probably right about that. And again, you're right about the teasing Kuroka would do. Pretty much, and yes, his mother is going to turn up. When that is, I cannot say, a little mystery and all. It will do eventually, they'll bond more as the story goes on.

Tritan; Thanks! It surely will be, it kinda of is in this chapter anyway~ Diodora is gonna be jealous, isn't he? Those two are awesome, thanks for the vote!

GeassDragon; Well, I am glad you do, and I guess if that's how you see it, I can't say anything about it.

Absolute Mirage; Thank you! Hehe, they are going to be quite adorable, aren't they? Those two are pretty cool! I like them! Yes, that is true, and at least apart of it would be carried over if she was chosen. That is a cool idea as well, I like it~

Sandshrew master 317; Thanks! Yeah, cool, votes.

ShadowUzumaki55; Yup, he's gotten his Evil Pieces now! True enough, even if his parents don't show, he still has his friends and such. Eventually, they'll grow as parent and child. Yeah, he does have his first servants, and all of them are of their own free will. Hehe, Kuroka and her forcefulness. Wait until he gets older, he's going to have his hands full with her. They certainly did scare him off that time, but eventually, what's going to happen? Hmmm, that is that connection I wonder? I said that the remaining Knight would be with Issei, whoever it is, the same with Rossweisse. Rias is, a different matter.

Gabriel790; Thank you!

Dragonsayianblue; I guess you're right about that. well, I don't really have to do that, all that needs to be done is for someone to come and get them. It could even be Griselda or something. Maybe even Dulio. Yeah, R.I.P alright~ You'll be missed~

Matt; Thank you, I am glad that you do. I haven't fully decided yet, and Serafall would be quite interesting to have as a fiancée. Well, it might get a little bigger, but nothing grossly oversized, ya know? Well, I am happy that you are, stick around for more~

Guest 1; Those are some cool suggestions!

Blue Eyes Pendulum Dragon; Those girls are cool. I guess that he could be classed as something like that. Yeah, I guess that he could. Those would be cool. Yeah, possibly. I don't see why not. And yeah, I know it is.

Guest 2; I'm happy that you did, and those two are cool. Possibly~

Asia lover; Hehe yeah, it seems like he does have a little crush on her, doesn't it? Hehe, that would be quite funny to see, wouldn't it? Those are some cool choices, I like them~ I see, those two are cool as well.

Skull Flame; It truly is. I guess it is. That's what I was thinking, it just makes a little sense to me, as Xenovia doesn't really rely on the speed that she has when she was a Knight, and she gets the Excalibur Rapidly later so that can make up for that. Hehe, don't worry, it was funny~ Yeah, she's got a few pacts, so it stands to reason for others to have them as well. As you said, he is a Maou's son, so he of course is going to be a big deal and all. Akeno is too good at teasing~ Yeah, even though he does know that his parents are important to the Underworld, he does suffer a little bit from it, but he has his peerage so they help a lot. Hehe, that's right~ He should listen to Zenki, but he does have Zenki who will keep the Astaroth name good. It wasn't mentioned, I wanted to leave that a little ambiguous, ya know? Those are some cool votes, and even suggestions as well! Yeah, those could be good for Rias' peerage. Exactly, even if this isn't an Issei story per-say, he is still a major character and all. I would have no idea how that would work, if you have suggestions then I am open to them. Funny you should mention Ophis…you'll see in this chapter. And thank you!

Anime PJ; Well, he does have it in certain ways, they do have a close relationship, and other ways they don't. Yeah, some good character development is good, isn't it? And you're right about that, it does add to his character, and that's always good. Well, it was more following Diodora than anything. He had ideas about who Diodora was trying to see, but you could say he basically stalked him. Only time will tell~ Hehe, that's quite funny~ She's similar to me as well~ They do have some good interactions, don't they? Kalawarner is quite cool~ I know what you mean…and here's the next time lol~

Guest 3; Those two are awesome, thanks for the vote!

Neonlight01; It will do eventually! Yeah, he is only a preteen then when he received his Evil Pieces, and all. Hehe, that's right~ Ravel is now basically equivalent to fiancée level. Even if he didn't know that when they said it, they basically were saying that they were even if it isn't official. Kuroka doesn't waste time when she wants things. Eeh, she's gonna be a main girl, all of his peerage are in one way or another. Who his first kiss is going to be however is going to be, something that you'll have to wait and see. You never know, Asia might fall in love at first sight as well~ Those are some cool suggestions.

Guest 4; Those two as regulars huh? That would be quite funny. I think so yeah~

Guest 5; Hehe, I am glad~ And if you loved that ending, then you'll love this one as well~ God, her and Kuroka together would destroy Zenki, sexually at least~ That's cool, thanks for the vote~

Lightwave; Yeah, it does show how he is with his parents, and while he does understand them, he does feel a little dejected about it. Yeah, at least for those people it was a big deal. True enough, he does have his friends beside him~ That's always a good thing~ That's exactly right, everyone of his peerage members so far have joined of their own free will. Yeah, he's off to a great start alright~ No, he takes every chance he can get to break him down, but Zenki is strong with his will and can't be broken by Diodora, for now. He's truly going to be eating his words about Diodora, isn't he? Hehe, she's quite strong in her ways, isn't she? That was sweet, wasn't it? They fell for one another on sight. Yes, he has, and Issei is getting a harem, check the bottom.

AlphaOmega; It surely is quite interesting, isn't it? And it will only get more so in the future. Well, they are close, but sometimes his parents do let him down like they did in the last chapter, and though Zenki is intelligent and does understand this, he still is a boy and does feel sorrow for it. And yeah, he's got his Evil Pieces so he can have a family. Hehe, if Kuroka has her say, he'll be a father very soon. They'll be able to keep it up, possibly. Can't spoil anything now, can I? Hehe, yeah that's right. Yeah, I guess it could be something like that.

Guest 6; Thanks! And awesome votes! And you never know, it could turn out like that.

Blackmoon FierceGods 15; Hey, I'm glad you liked it~ You see them more than you'd think actually. Well, as the story progresses, of course he's going to become stronger, it's natural evolution, isn't it?

UCCMaster; First of all, thank you! Well, I can see where you're coming from, and in ways, I do respect regular canon, but this isn't regular canon. If Issei had his canon harem, then it would be boring. It would be the same thing as canon, and that would be boring as people have read that before again and again and I simply don't want the same thing again and again, there's gonna be that diversity to make things different and interesting, ya know? Valerie you'll have to see about. Yes, it did, but she also is a foil to Irina as well, who is in the peerage. They both play off one another, and grow together, as they will in this story. Well, she was fine with being reincarnated as a Devil right after finding out God was dead, so I don't think loving one would be much different to that, especially with what Zenki is and such and what I have planned for her. Yeah, Asia and Ravel, their stories are going to be interesting. In this, they aren't childhood friends, which won't really connect them. Aika fills the role of the childhood friend for Ise in this. Yes, in the original series she did play that role. But in this, she plays a different but equally important, more so in some ways, as she's a foil to Xenovia (technical vs power among other things) and even a foil to Jeanne in some ways as well, plus in this, Irina is going to be half Angel before she is reincarnated. Valerie and Gasper are childhood friends, it doesn't have to go beyond that as childhood friend doesn't mean love interest all the time. Well, I will just have to prove that each member are supposed to be there, won't I, as you said. He won't be getting all of his pieces before canon, and it took five chapters because the first four were building and introducing characters, so it didn't come out of the blue when Koneko and Kuroka just joined the peerage, the same for Ravel and it isn't like once he gets his pieces, their story stops there, like Kuroka and Koneko, they still have quite a lot of development to do and even Ravel as well. Issei is going to have a harem that isn't mostly his canon harem, to mix things up. Ah, I think you mean Kiba Yumi, there. Yuuma is Raynare's fake name for Issei on his date with her. And finally, thank you!

Guest 7; Awesome! Cool votes!

Cf96; Thank you!

AndroSid93; Yeah, it was quite packed wasn't it? That's probably likely, not definitely, but very possible. Akeno, I haven't decided quite yet. Yeah, people usually brush past that part, so I wanted to do something different and flesh it out a little more. Hehe, those two surely are quite funny together, aren't they? Really? That moment huh...well, it is something like that is good. Those two are quite awesome and it does seem to be the popular choice, so here they are! And those people are cool as well, I will give it a think!

ShadeAkami; I thank you! Yeah, he's got his Evil Pieces! Yeah, it is quite sad, isn't it? And you're right about that. You can't choose your family after all. He really does, doesn't he? He needs to listen to Zenki a little more than believing in Diodora. Hehe, I have no idea on how he would think about. Hehe, well I can say that he is going to be suffering quite a bit of pain from Zenki in the future, and even fear as well. Yeah, Asia is going to be appearing more and more as the story goes on~ Those two will be coming shortly, soon enough anyway. How long it is going to take, I cannot be sure honestly. There's things that need to be done before moving onto the 'canon' though these chapters are just as important, if not more so for building future struggles and plot lines, especially this one in regards to future stuff. It is still in the works, I am thinking about how it would work. Yeah, I know that, Issei's gonna have a harem, just not all of his canon, that's what the canon is for, this is a place where different people than canon can be with someone that they weren't with in canon, you know what I mean? Those people are pretty cool for Zenki, and it might even come back, Elmen's Corner, or even another 'show' like that. Yeah, that's what I meant by that. Those two are awesome! I will be starting that story up again in the future, and will probably have him as a Pawn. Don't worry about that, there is going to be quite a bit of character bonding this chapter, and others to come, and there is some action this chapter, of the fighting kind that is, and I'm gonna keep you guessing~

Guest 8; Awesome vote!

Guest 9; Yes, he certainly has! That's an awesome vote! And yeah, Rias probably, Akeno I don't know yet.

Guest 10; Zenki and Issei are going to have, an interesting relationship. They won't be best friends from the get go, and even might be antagonistic (from Issei's side, as that's how he is with pretty boys and such) but eventually, they'll be having some sort of friendship as they get to know one another. Hehe, that would be quite funny. Aika's gonna be the replacement for Koneko in Rias' peerage.

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


The mysteries of life

"Maou, where are we Zenki-chan nyaaa?"

That was the first thing that Kuroka asked as she, Zenki, Koneko, and Ravel were on the pack of horses, riding through a creepy terrain. It was in a northern part of the world, a place where a huge waterfall could be seen. The luscious fields were before them. Bright green, surrounded by flowers and even the sky was a sunray. Despite the time of year, which was near winter, this area was filled with sunshine and besides the complaining Kuroka, the others seemed to be having fun.

"Well, I heard that around here, there's a special item."

That piqued Kuroka's interest.

"Ooh? A special item is it? What is it nyaaa?"

Zenki shrugged his shoulders softly.

"I don't really know much about it. All I know is that it is supposed to be rare. I doubt that we'd find anything here, but I thought that since we've been stuck in the Underworld for a few days, getting out and about is something we could do. I mean, you're always saying you aren't a housecat, so why don't you go nuts now?"

Kuroka thought about it for a moment, then a wide smile appeared on her face.

"Well, if Zenki-chan is allowing us a break, does that mean we can relax in the waterfall nyaaa? Even though this kitty doesn't love water, something about that rapid there is calling "Kuroka-chan, com and ride me~" like you always do when we're in bed nyaaa~"

Though she was a cat and naturally didn't like water, something about the waterfall seemed inviting. She wanted to ride the rapids, she wanted to have some fun with it. She even thought that it would be good if she jumped off the top and landed in the water below.

Zenki nodded his head, though gave her a strange look at the end of her sentence.

"As long as you don't get into trouble, do what you like. Go and have fun, all of you deserve it after all."

"Thanks nyaaa!" Kuroka meowed as she forced her horse next to Zenki's, giving his cheek a kiss. "Then, I'm gonna go diving! Shirone, wanna come with me nyaaa?"

Her sister pleaded with Koneko. Though it was in a playful manner, Koneko by now could tell that Kuroka did want to have another bonding session with her sister, so Koneko merely gave a nod of her head.

"…I like the water at this time."

Kuroka's eyes lightened up, brightening up.

"Then, let us go Shirone!"

With that, Kuroka kicked the side of the horse and took off riding.

Koneko moved her horse towards Zenki's, giving a confusing look.

"Koneko-tan? Is there something the matter?"

Koneko furrowed her eyebrows, deep in thought.

"…About the nun…Diodora-sama has recently tried to do more and more with her…get close to her…is it okay if we relax like this?"

"That's actually a good question, Zenki-sama."

Ravel added as she brought her own horse to her King.

Zenki looked between the two of them, giving a small smile.

"Well…I don't think that would be a problem."

At that, the girls tilted their heads to the side as a wide smile appeared on the green haired boys face.


Meanwhile, at a certain part of Europe, Diodora was walking through the blistering cold and a bunch of trees in a forest, snow dancing around his form. Before him, he could see a Church, the same Church that the nun resided in. But right now, he couldn't see the nun…that was soon to change however.

The winds blew around his hair as a sinister sneer appeared on his face.

"Finally, I can get Asia for myself. That damn Zenki should be busy somewhere else in the world. Perseverance, is what is needed. It has been nearly six months now, but I can finally gain my Asia-chan for myself. All I have to do is get her away from the Church for myself…"

His sinister ways knew no bounds.

He would do anything to get the nun.

He would even kill to get her. But he knew if he killed Zenki now, he would be the one in trouble. Though he wasn't sure if he could kill Zenki now due to his peerage being quite strong alright, with Kuroka, Ravel and Koneko, those three girls being quite strong.

So, he was torn as he walked forward towards the Church. He had a plan in mind, and with no Zenki around…

"I'M GOING TO MURDER YOU!"

Suddenly, a knife wielding person in a hockey mask stained with a red colour across the nose part of the mask and wearing a thick jacket that looked like a hunters jacket, came out from behind a tree, swiping at Diodora who cried "Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" and jumped back, falling onto his back as he felt cold from the snow.

Diodora cried as he looked at the person with the knife. From power alone, Diodora could tell this person wasn't normal. But he didn't know who it was, putting his hand forward as tears rolled down his face, at the cold deadness of the eyes that could be seen through the hockey mask.

"Diodora…I am going to slit you from ear to ear to give you a lovely smile…"

To make their point, the mask ran their knife from ear to ear, a sinister look in their eyes for the boy, who held fear in his orbs, his body convulsing from the fear of death that could be a certainty right at this point in time.

"S-Stay away from me!" Diodora fired a bullet. But as it was about to hit the person with the knife, said person grabbed the bullet, and crushed it in their fist. "OOH SHIT! PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE! GET LOST YOU BASTARD!"

Diodora shed more and more tears as he fired bullets of demonic power at the knife wielding mask wearer.

But all of them didn't even phase the mask. They continued walking towards the tear shedding Diodora. The mask could see the colour of fear staining the eyes of the Astaroth heir, waving their knife at him.

"I'm coming for you…"

The dark tone that came from the mask made Diodora shed large tears. They flowed down his face, soon staining his face with his tears.

"STAY AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Diodora ran off, activating a magic circle and stepped into it, disappearing out of the sight when the knife was thrown at him. The knife missed by mere inches, but when it hit the tree behind, it was shown to be a rubber knife.

"Heheheheheheh!" A girlish giggle came from the mask as they clicked their fingers together. "By day, I am a knife wielding maniac, but by night I am…"

The masks clothes changed into a pick magical girls outfit, a magical wand appearing in their left hand, as a pair of breasts were revealed, and the long black hair tied into twintails, revealing the face of Serafall who was shining her smile brightly, spinning the wand around beautifully.

Serafall then twirled around as lights danced around her. Using her fingers, she placed them in a sideways V shape by her eye, winking that eye as a heart came from her eye somehow, sparkles surrounding her body as she stuck out her tongue in a playful manner.

"…I am the magical girl, Levia-tan! I even banish away people that hurt my Zenki-tan! And if that's Gabriel as well then I won't allow her to infect my Zenki-tan with her naughtiness! Even that knife, I shall turn it real and turn it on her!"

Serafall stood in a pose that showed her body off, even though no one was around.

Dramatically, Serafall raised her hands to the sky.

"Ooh Zenki-tan! You asked Onee-sama to keep away Diodora-chan and I did so! That means Zenki-tan has to follow through with his end of the bargain and dress in anything that I want! Even if it is Neko boy! Inu boy! It could even be sexy school boy with tight shorts! Wait! What about sexy school girl!? Zenki-tan in a short skirt!? That's the best ever! Mwahahahaha! Nothing is impossible for my fantasies now! You even promised me special extra cuddle times so I can't forget that either! Aah, Zenki-tan is too adorable~ And all I had to do was scare Diodora-chan, and that's always fun~ Hehehe, he even cried~ Zenki-tan is gonna love that~ Even though I don't know why he wants Diodora-chan away from this Church, if it is Zenki-tan then it must be important! And I get my adorable Zenki-tans love so that's okay as well!"

With a triumphant smirk on her face and a shake of her head which made her hair get rid of the snow that was gathering there, Serafall casually strolled over to the rubber knife she threw and picked it up.

Once she did that, she took out a remote control, and pointed it upwards.

"Come back little droid-chan's!"

She announced and pressed the 'return' button on the control.

At first, nothing happened but then…small four bird looking metal birds flew over, landing in front of Serafall, and turned into little cubes.

"Hehehe~ Zenki-chan is so smart~ Inventing such adorable little devices that even create a field that can mask power~ It is because he used what Senjutsu users do naturally and created these little bird-chan's to hide demonic power and other powers within a field~ He's such a smartie~ He takes after Ajuka-chan with inventing things that even I don't understand! Hehehe, all I do is press a button and they do the rest, it is that simple! It is because my Zenki-tan is very intelligent! He even invents things like this from learning of other things! Aah, such a wonderful child! Even the Church members in there won't know that Devils were out here! He even made a device that hid my own power signature from Diodora-chan! That boy is very smart and I love him very much!"

Serafall smiled as she picked up the little cubes.

A thought then came to her, and she clicked the remotes button again that says 'play music' which she did, and the cubes turned on, flashing different colours as the Sailor Moon theme song came on, Serafall becoming giddy as she bounced up and down.

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Even programming my fav music as well! Zenki-tan loves me~ He really does love me~" Serafall then bounced up and down as she moved forward, away from the Church. "Fighting Diodora-chan in the moonlight~ Kissing Zenki-tan by the daylight~ Kuroka-chan is never gonna win the fight~ Because I am Maou-sama Serafall~ Zenki-tan is all mine~"

Her voice bellowed out as she used a transportation circle to disappear, satisfied that Diodora wasn't going to come back for this day.


Back where Zenki and the others were, Koneko and Ravel could hardly believe their ears.

"Z-Zenki-sama, could your words truly be interpreted correctly?"

Ravel brought up, furrowing her eyebrows.

Zenki nodded as he petted the girls heads.

"I asked Sera-tan to scare off Diodora-nii. I said that she could be creative, and we all know how Sera-tan is. She would've done something funny or scary, or even both. But all I had to sacrifice was some of my dignity."

He shuddered at the end, remembering what Serafall had asked of him if this was going to happen.

The other two tilted their heads to the side, wondering what he meant by that.

"…Why are you going to give up your dignity?"

Koneko was the brave one to ask.

Zenki put his hand down, shaking his head.

"…We must not speak about it."

At the tone, Koneko and Ravel became frightened of what Serafall was going to do to Zenki. They didn't think he'd be losing his life, but by the terrified expression, it wasn't helping him that something was going to happen.

"Z-Zenki-sama, are you going to be surrendering your life?"

"…I do not know."

At that seriousness, Koneko held her head down, silently hoped that he was going to be okay.

Koneko then said her goodbyes and went towards where Kuroka went.

Ravel gave him a comforting pat, then went away as well.

Soon, Zenki was left alone, so he went riding through the fields with his horse.

He enjoyed doing this, it was a pleasure for him. It allowed him to experience nature, and he didn't have anything that held him back either. He was able to be free by himself, where he didn't have to worry about Diodora, about his responsibilities, he could just be a teenager, as he was now 13 years old, he could just go for a change.


Zenki continued riding through the fields, and soon, he came across something that was, surprising.

He made it to a cliff, where he saw someone sitting over the edge. Their feet dangled over the edge, and where he was sitting, he couldn't made out the face, but he could see a head of long silky black hair that reached down all the way to the ground due to her sitting. He could see some pointy ears sticking out, but the hair blocked them most of the time, only catching brief glimpses when the wind was blowing and because of that, he could tell that it was a girl.

"Why is there a girl out in the middle of nowhere? It is…impossible to get here normally. Even for us, we had to use magical transportation circles, so for a young girl to get here…she must be supernatural. There's no way a young girl would be able to get here otherwise."

He became curious and moved forward on the horse.

Hearing the feet patting on the ground, the young girl turned her face to see the grey eyes of the girl, lifeless almost. She seemed to be depressed, but not at the same time. Just something about the eyes were, different to what they were usually.

"H-Hello there, little girl. W-What are you doing here, if I may ask?"

The girl blinked, tilting her head to the side.

"You, are a Devil with, green hair."

She suddenly announced to his shock. He wasn't shocked by the answer, but the tone of her voice. If he thought Koneko was stoic before, this girl was even more so than he was. Something about the eyes that she possessed, penetrating. It was as if they stabbed into his soul.

"Y-Yes, that's right. I am a Devil and indeed, I have green hair…a-are you?"

For whatever reason, he couldn't get a good reading on her. And for Kuroka to not mention another presence, this person was either good at hiding, or had a low power. But he didn't believe it would be the second one. Something about her presence was almost smothering. Yet he felt completely calm at the same time.

The young girl shook her head.

"No, I am not a Devil. I am…" The little girl paused, looking at his green hair. "Your hair, is green. It is, familiar."

"R-Really?"

He queried from her, as the girl stood up.

Slowly, she moved forward, Zenki getting off the horse.

He wasn't sure if she was going to attack him or not. But he was ready if she was going to do anything. He had his power on standby should the girl do anything. Even though she wasn't threatening or anything, however he wasn't going to be stupid and not prepare himself, as he was always cautious at the same time.

But, she neared him and reached her hand out, taking a lock of his hair in her hand, pulling it slightly. It wasn't enough to hurt, but it was weird that she was doing that. Her finger ran through the hair, twirling it through his hair.

"You are, familiar to me. The aura that, radiates from you is, familiar to me. You are, no threat to me. You are…" She stopped again, then stopped her actions. "…You are, someone who can, help me."

Coming to that decision, the girl sounded as if she was ordering him. He was of course surprised by this, he was even shocked as well.

"H-Help? What do you need exactly?"

The girl aimed her finger high, pointing it like a gun. Then she 'fired' her fingers.

"I, am aiming for peace, for silence. I, wish to attain this silence. This place, is near silence. But, it is still too loud. I wish, to return home."

Giving him her wish, Zenki wasn't sure if he could achieve it for her or not. But he felt compelled to help her.

"Oh, return home…why is that? Where is your home, can I take you?"

Something about her eyes showed that she wasn't going to attack. She seemed more childlike than he first thought she was.

The girl looked back at Zenki, nearly no emotions on her face.

"Dimensional Gap, that is my home. But, Great Red stole it, from me."

At the mention of the Dimensional Gap and Great Red, Zenki got into thinking about it, the names being familiar to him, but he couldn't place his finger on it.

"Great Red…" He mumbled as he thought about it. "Great Red…nah, you couldn't be talking about…no, it couldn't be."

The girl narrowed her eyes at the name.

"Great Red, I shall defeat Great Red and, return home. I shall have, the head of Great Red, and I shall return home." She paused, then pointed at Zenki who flinched. "You are, named, what?"

The girl again demanded from him, so Zenki bowed his head respectfully.

"O-Oh, my name is Zenki Astaroth, and I am honoured to meet you."

Like a child of the Maou, he was very respectful towards this girl. He wasn't going to piss her off either. He sensed that there was more than meets the eye to this girl. But he couldn't put his finger on it. All he knew was that it was best if he kept this girl in the best books.

"Zenki Astaroth, the Astaroth name is, to do with the current Maou's of the Underworld. But you, do not feel strong like a Maou. But you feel, like a High-Class Devil. You are, Zenki Astaroth, who came here, into my personal space."

At that, his eyes opened wide, and held up his hands in defence.

"I-I didn't know that you owned this place! W-We just came here…m-my peerage and I, I mean, came here to l-look for something, a-and have a break at the same time. W-We will leave, I am sorry for trespassing."

He backed away slowly, but the young girl held her hand out, stopping his movements.

"Zenki Astaroth came here for, a break? What, does a break mean?"

The girl genuinely didn't know what Zenki was talking about. She understood the word break. But she didn't get the way he was using it. She took it literally and thought that Zenki was going to break something.

"A-A break from, life. Y-You know, a place where you can go and forget troubles of your life…t-that kind of thing. Erm, a vacation, yes, that's it. I came here for a mini vacation with my peerage members."

The young black haired girl nodded.

"I, understand. I, also came here, for a, break."

She stated with slanted eyes, Zenki tilting his head to the side.

"Y-You did…s-so you don't own this place?"

That's what he got from the young girl. Even if he didn't understand the rest, he could understand that much from her.

"No, this place is, not inhabited by creatures, it is, the word is tranquil. I, come here on, Tuesday's. Because, this place is, the closest place, to the Dimensional Gap, in terms of, silence."

"The Dimensional Gap…huh. And this…Great Red-sama has invaded your home, and won't let you in?"

"Yes. It is, my home, and Great Red, has invaded, stolen my home. It is, troubling."

The words sounded strange even to the girls ears. So to Zenki, he was a little worried about what she was thinking about.

"R-Right, I am sorry this Great Red-san has stolen your home. I wish I could help you someway. It seems like you're depressed."

That's what he thought about it. But he didn't know that he was wrong, the girl expressing as much.

"I do not, understand depressed. I am, me. I do not feel, this emotion."

"Y-You don't, huh…aah, but if that's the case then…"

The girl moved closer to Zenki, putting her hand on the top of his head.

"You, speak, to me casually. I have, witnessed others doing so, but not, to me."

"Aah, I am sorry. That doesn't sound right. People don't talk to you?"

He felt sorry for her. Even though she didn't display any emotions, he felt sorry that no one talked with her, and she wanted silence. He didn't know what the Dimensional Gap was, but at the same time, he guessed that it was a place was very quiet.

"No, I…sit in a room…give my wishes, and give people my snakes. That is, all."

"Give people…your snakes?"

The girl inclined her head and raised her hand. A second later, a snake slithered out, causing Zenki to jump back.

"Do not, be alarmed. It will, not hurt you."

Zenki became relieved while the snake disappeared into her sleeve.

"S-So, you're a being that…gives snakes out, and is…hmmm, what is your name, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Ophis."

She responded almost immediately.

"Ophis…san huh…" He mused, cocking an eyebrow up. "That name sounds familiar to me…Ophis-san huh, that's a cute name Ophis-san! You can call me Zenki!"

"Zenki…the green haired Devil with the familiar aura. Yes, Zenki is acceptable."

He gave a light chuckle and patted her head, his usual way of showing affection.

The newly named Ophis furrowed her brow, confusion written on her face.

"Why, are you patting my head?"

"Because it is a sign of friendship? Aren't we friends now Ophis-san?"

He spoke with a childlike innocence. Even though they only just met, he saw her as a friend. He didn't know what she thought, but he felt a little bad for her, as she had said no one talks with her, and he was naturally a person that liked to help people. Plus she mentioned that she was kicked out of her home, he didn't find that right.

"Friend…ship? A…friend?"

Ophis mumbled, again furrowing her eyebrows.

"Yes, a friend! Since Ophis-san is-"

"Friend. I, do not understand this term. Do you, want my snake?"

Zenki was offered that as a snake wrapped around Ophis. It was black, and looked menacing. But the girl herself seemed to be completely calm, yet Zenki wasn't. He could feel his heart pounding against his chest at seeing the snake.

"That sounds really weird. Offering someone a snake, good thing Ophis-san here wasn't a man, offering me a snake…yeah, that would be strange." He sweatdropped at his own thoughts, putting on a sheepish smile. "N-No, I don't know what they'll do to me, and I don't know why, but I get the feeling it is…something different to a normal snake."

"It is, it makes you stronger. You, can have it."

She offered again, and Zenki wasn't sure why she was willing to give him someone like that. In her own way, it sounded as if she was giving a present to him, yet even then he wasn't sure as to why she would do something like that.

"Thanks for the offer, but I think I will pass. I don't want a power boost, I am fine with my own power."

"Your wish."

She said as if it was nothing in the world, walking towards the cliff.

Zenki felt compelled to follow after her.

Ophis sat down and casually looked at Zenki. He went to sit down next to her, but stopped when he saw Ophis staring at him.

"Sit."

She commanded, and he did so, not wanting to anger her.

Getting next to her, Ophis points forward at the vast trees he could see.

"Even though, this place should be filled with, creatures, there is nothing here. This, is deserted."

She explained as she waved her hand over the area. Though nothing happened, she didn't seem to care either.

"Y-Yes, but Ophis-san, wouldn't you become lonely, when being alone?"

Zenki thought it would be bad if she wanted to become lonely.

"I, was born from nothingness. I, wish to return to that. Silence, is what I seek. This place, offers me little silence. No one, comes here. How, did you come here?"

Suddenly asking that, Zenki felt troubled about how to respond.

"A-Ah, I heard a rumour of something being here, and decided to come. It came from my Tou-chan…eeh, Ajuka-sama. Have you heard of him?"

Ophis nodded.

"Ajuka…is the current Beelzebub, and you, are his child."

"T-That's right, I am his son."

"Yes, his child. Offspring."

He smiled softly, but then a thought came to him.

"Say Ophis-san, this silence you want to attain, does it have to be in the Dimensional…eeh, Gap?"

"Silence is what I aim to achieve. And, Great Red stole my home, I wish to return."

"I see…well, I can't help with the Great Red-san thing, but I can help with granting you silence, if you'll let me?"

Intrigued, Ophis merely watched on as Zenki clicked his fingers, a pair of glasses appearing there. He placed them on his face as he made some materials appear with his demonic power.

"Do you, not see well?"

Ophis query was met with a shaking head.

"I have perfect vision. It is just, I dunno. I feel more, focused when wearing these glasses. And they can do some pretty cool things, like connect to the internet and such. My Tou-chan and I made these together, I feel, more intelligent when wearing them…I feel like I am like my Tou-chan, who is the smartest guy I know, who I respect and wish to be like in the future, but not totally as I am still me. And Kuroka-tan calls me a hot nerd when I wear these, it makes me feel complicated."

His response made Ophis tilt her head.

She understood some of it, but she didn't get the concept of familiar bonding, so that was lost on her, and she didn't know what a 'hot nerd' was or Kuroka either.

Curiously, she watched as he worked on something. Sparks went off, Zenki kept saying "Yes, that's it." in a weird voice that Ophis wasn't sure if it was a happy or sad type of voice. But something about what he was doing made her become slightly interested.

When he finished ten minutes later, he yelled "Taaaaaaa daaaaaaa!" in a happy voice, holding out what appeared to be headphones, large ones that would cover even adult ears. Ophis regarded them with confusion.

"I, do not understand."

"Yes! It is okay Ophis-san! These are sound cancelling headphones! Even the most noisiest of things won't penetrate these things! I made it with my demonic power mixed in and such, but don't worry it won't be averse to you! You can even shrink the size by turning this dial!"

To demonstrate it, he twisted the dial on the side and it made it shrink to a size that Ophis' head would be able to have on without them falling off.

Ophis still was confused, so Zenki placed them on her ears, and as soon as it did, all sound disappeared. Ophis became astonished, even if her face didn't change. She placed her hands to the headphones, looking at Zenki who gave her a cheery thumbs up.

Ophis placed the headphones off, sound coming to her. She then placed them back on her ears, and sound disappeared.

She looked at Zenki again, removing the headphones so she could hear him.

"This is, like the Dimensional Gap."

"R-Really? Is it good for you Ophis-san?"

He hoped it was. He just liked seeing the change in her eyes. Ever so slightly, she seemed to be pleased. Even if her face didn't show any change.

"They, are good." She said while running her fingers over the headphones. "You, wish for them, back?"

Zenki adopted a wide smile and shook his head.

"No, please keep them if you wish. I made them for you after all. Think of it as a present to celebrate our friendship!"

"A, present for, me? To, celebrate friendship?"

Zenki continued to smile as Ophis placed the headphones around her neck.

"Yes, that's right."

"Then, Astaroth known as Zenki gave me this present. I, like it. It, is like the, Dimensional Gap. All I need, is nothingness around, then I would be in, the Dimensional Gap again."

Ophis expressed her wishes to Zenki, who wore a sheepish smile.

"Hehe, that sounds like virtual reality type stuff, which I'm not quite at making yet."

"Virtual reality…a different reality…you cannot create?"

He inclines his head at the clueless looking Ophis.

"That's right. I mean, I can build things like that, but I'm not on a level were I can create dimensions or anything, though I understand the basic theory behind it…a-ah well, enjoy your present Ophis-san! I hope they are good for you!"

"I see, then I will, keep them. My, friend gave me this. I shall, also reward you."

"Aah, that's not necessary Ophis-"

At that moment Ophis produced a gem and tossed it towards Zenki.

"That, is what you were, searching for. It, is something that, would benefit you, more than me. Keep it."

Zenki held up the red jewel, examining it.

"T-This is mighty generous, but you obtained it, don't you want to keep it?"

"No. I, heard it had great power. But, it does not hold the secrets to, defeating Great Red. You, keep it."

Ophis repeated herself, as Zenki took the jewel, a small smile on his face.

"Well, thank you very much Ophis-san! Now, would you like to share some food with me?"

"…Food?" Zenki nodded and produced many different types of food from the horses bag that it had around its neck. Ophis immediately went for a box of cookies. "I, like cookies."

"Hehe, then please enjoy~ I also have milk, do you want some~?"

Ophis nodded, and like that, they ate food together.

For a long while, Zenki and Ophis sat together. It was an odd and at times awkward conversation to have, but Zenki found himself enjoying conversing with Ophis. There was no doubt that she was odd, but she was interesting, funny with her dry understanding of certain concepts, and even found it funny when Ophis spilled the milk on herself by mistake.

However, at the two-hour mark had gone by in their conversation, Ophis held her hand out.

"I, have to leave. I, need to go now."

"O-Oh, we only just met so…"

He wanted to get to know her more. But since she had to leave, so he couldn't say anything. He was glad that he was able to meet someone knew and interesting, and Ophis was anything but ordinary. She was a mystery and he liked mysteries.

"Tuesday."

"Tuesday?"

He parroted, the puzzlement on his face.

Ophis held her hand out.

"Zenki, said friend. I, wish to see what has happened with this friendship. Zenki, gave me food, gave me these, what I believe to be called phonehead's, and Zenki talked to me. I, am pleased for the company."

"Aah, that's really sweet…T-Tuesday's huh. Does that mean you wish for me back?"

He pondered, not bothering to correct her on her mishap with the headphone's naming. But at the same time, he found it funny and allowed her to think they were called that.

Ophis inclined her head.

"Yes, come back Tuesday. Also, come back with, more cookies."

She practically ordered, but Zenki had gotten somewhat used to her attitude and how she speaks. He found it quite funny, honestly.

"Hehe, deal Ophis-san~ I'll definitely come back with cookies~"

"Then, until then."

With nearly no emotions, Ophis jumped off the side.

"OPHIS-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

He cried out as he got out his Devil wings to go and get her…but then he didn't have too.

He watched as Ophis floated back up into the air, using magical power to fly. She floated in front of Zenki, tilting her head.

"You, called for me?"

Zenki could feel his heart beating against his chest, sweat dripping from him.

"D-Don't do that Ophis-san! I was worried for you!"

"Affirmative. I, shall leave, now."

With that, Ophis disappeared into the sky, leaving Zenki behind.


A little while later, Zenki joined up with Kuroka and the others near the waterfall. As expected of Kuroka, she was only wearing bottoms, she allowed her chest to be free. Koneko was more modest, wearing a simple swimsuit, and Ravel went a little more risque by wearing a two piece, that showed off her maturing body.

The first thing they noticed was Zenki smiling, Kuroka noticing the glasses on his face, and pointed them out.

"Hot nerd nyaaaa!"

She exclaimed, moving towards him on her horse. Koneko and Ravel soon followed as well, questions in their eyes.

"So, where have you been Zenki-sama? It has been a long time."

Ravel noted, suspiciousness in her eyes.

Zenki gave her a reassuring smile.

"I just met someone, she was pretty cool. Sorry, it does seem I was gone for a while. But I did find something cool." They turned their eyebrows upwards in confusion, so Zenki produced what Ophis gave him. "I was, given this by my new, friend. She gave it me, this is the thing that I heard about, looks pretty cool, doesn't it?"

Immediately, Kuroka snatched out of his hands, and examined it.

"It does look pretty nyaaa. But you went to get something like this nyaa. Without us, and we're a peerage. How cruel."

He put a hand to the back of his head, scratching it softly.

"Sorry, next time we'll definitely go together. I got sidetracked, is all. But you all seem to be having fun."

All three of the girls nodded, Kuroka disregarding the item and jumped into the water once dismounting the horse, the same as the other two.

"Geez, irresponsible!"

Ravel snapped as she caught the jewel, keeping it on her person.

"...That's Nee-sama in a nutshell." Koneko deadpanned, looking at Zenki. "...I feel like you interacted with a Loli, is that true?"

For some reason, Zenki thought he saw a flash of danger in her eyes, anger and even upset as well.

He chuckled sheepishly.

"W-Well, I don't know about that, but..."

"...I am Zenki-sans Loli, he doesn't even need another one."

Ravel snickered, but stopped when she received a glare from Koneko. As for Zenki, he merely laughed, shortening the distance as he got off the horse, patting the top of her head.

"Don't worry Koneko-tan, you're my favourite...eeh, Loli I think they are called. I don't know any other ones, actually. B-But, don't fret, you're one of my favourite people in the entire world!" He announced, then noticed the hurt look of Ravel, so he placed his hand on her head as well, rubbing softly. "Don't worry Ravel-tan, you're one of my favourites as well as Kuroka-tan. Now, shall we go and enjoy the water?"

"Yes, we should Zenki-sama!"

Ravel announced and rushed to the water, keeping the jewel with her.

Zenki tossed his eyes downwards to Koneko, seeing a small dissatisfied face.

"Something bothering you Koneko-tan? You can talk to me, you know?"

She shook her head, holding her hand out.

Immediately, he grabbed her hand, using his thumb to gently caress her small hand.

"Silly Koneko-tan, you don't have to worry, I will definitely hold your hand always."

"...I am glad."

Once she said that, Zenki quickly clicked his fingers and changed his clothes into a swimsuit, and together with Koneko, went to the water and enjoyed a day with his peerage.


"Uraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Kuroka cried as she tossed on the bed. "I'm bored nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

She made a heavy sigh and fell back onto the bed.

Her chest went up and down as she rubbed her breasts together, hoping to catch the attention of Zenki…but it didn't work.

Even though it was an average day, the day after the mini vacation they had, Kuroka wasn't happy. She could see that Zenki and Ravel were doing something serious. Even Koneko was sat on his lap, sleeping pleasantly while Zenki and Ravel went over some documents that he had to go over.

Koneko was comfortable enough to sleep on his lap now. She even made it a point to often sleep in his bed. Though her elder sister was also there as well, she didn't mind and just chose to cuddle Zenki, sometimes even Ravel joined in for the fun of it, or in Koneko's eyes, the hell of it.

Kuroka tossed on his bed, facing Zenki as an alluring purr echoed from her mouth.

"Zenki-chan~ Wanna go and have some fun nyaaa~?"

The words left her lips, dripping with new lust and affection.

Zenki hitched his breath in his throat as he turned to her. The lust was in the air, he could feel it beating down on him, and while he usually didn't care about such things, lately it was dawning on him that he was going to be…with Kuroka forever, and that meant…being with her forever.

As soon as he did, he wished he didn't as he saw that Kuroka wasn't wearing anything other than some panties. Even for the 13 year old Zenki, it was difficult for him to ignore the body of Kuroka, the large assets she held and how she always seemed to make herself appear more sexy by showing dirty smirks, showing a grin or even just showing her version of innocence.

He was now entering puberty, and as for that, he was now noticing females, and he certainly noted Kuroka. It was obvious that she was a very beautiful woman, even if she was a little sex mad. But that was apart of her charms.

"Oohh come on now Zenki-chan. Don't be cruel. You've got this pussy here, she needs her milk. Her thick, hot, sticky, loving DNA filled milk that comes from a green haired Devil boy~" He did a spit take with a large blush spreading across his face as Kuroka smirked, jumping off the bed, and quickly got to his side, wrapping her arms around his neck, bringing his head to her bust. "Now, now Zenki-chan. Don't worry, we'll go slow. Say, how about I give you a blowjob? I wanna taste your milk in my mouth, that's alright, isn't it? I'm yours now, let's do something. If it is Shirone you're worried about, I am sure she would love to join in, once she wakes up."

Another spit take came from him, but this time it was in her breasts. They rippled due to his spit take, Kuroka meowing at the feeling she felt his mouth doing that around her breasts.

Ravel's face distorted into anger, tightening her fist and she pointed at the bird, raising her demonic power, Kuroka smirking and doing the same.

"N-No, you cannot do that Kuroka-sama! As his Bishop, I demand that you don't do-"

"I'm sorry." Kuroka apologized to the seething Ravel, but clearly it was a faux one. "But this is for people that actually are mature enough for sex, and sorry baby, but that just ain't you nyaaa~ So could you leave nyaaa? Zenki-chan and I wish to discuss how we're going to have sex…or actually, we're going to be having sex, so if you would leave, I would be fucking thrilled."

Ravel hissed at the Nekomata, her eyes blazing with the fires of hell itself.

Kuroka didn't care in the slightest, giving Zenki a kiss on the cheek, nuzzling him sweetly.

"Zenki-chan these papers don't have to be anything you do. Leave it to the little bitch-chan there. That's what she's here for. Allow her to fulfil her duty in doing these things, and come to bed with me. This pussy needs her sausage, if you get what I mean~?"

Adding to her alluring words, Kuroka winked at the boy, giving his cheek another kiss.

"Kuroka-tan…"

He mumbled ever so sweetly, Kuroka licking her lips at the sound of his voice.

Raising her finger, she slowly dragged it across his face, to his lips where he was forced to practically kiss it as it entered his mouth. Using that very same finger, she explored his mouth with it, as if it was her tongue.

He tried to fight it, he truly did, but Kuroka wouldn't allow him to move. She got behind him, wrapping him in a hug, pushing her flesh cushions against his back, all for the sake of her own pleasure, her nipples hardening when he saw that a certain something had made a tent shape in his pants, though Koneko blocked most of it with her small sleeping body on his lap.

"Whoa, your mouth is really warm nyaaa~ I wonder, what it would be like when you eat me out with this tongue?"

He spluttered and even Ravel did, she had enough and tried to push Kuroka away.

"G-Get away from Zenki-sama you perverted creature!"

Kuroka giggled, pushing Ravel away.

"Nope~ I am Zenki-chan's servant now~ Though being his servant seems quite a horrid term…so, I will say I am his sexual servant~ Between you, Shirone and me, I have the biggest breasts here nyaaa~ It would be for the best if I am the one who takes his virginity-"

At that moment, a hand grabbed Kuroka's wrist, forcing it out of the boys mouth.

Kuroka looked down to see that it was the annoyed face of Koneko who was the one who grabbed her hand, pushing it away from Zenki.

"…Nee-sama, don't try and be perverted with Zenki-san all of a sudden. …If it is Nee-sama, then Zenki-san will surely become a beast."

She demanded harshly, resting her head on Zenki's chest as if telling her elder sister that he was hers, and not Kuroka's.

"Ara~ I'm sorry, did I wake you up from your nap nyaaa?"

Kuroka questioned with a giggle, while Koneko frowned, hugging onto the blushing Zenki.

"…I was enjoying a cat nap on my territory, Zenki-sans lap…and I woke up to see Nee-sama flirting with Zenki-san again…Nee-sama needs to learn restraint…Zenki-san is only 13 years old…it isn't right, you cannot attempt to sleep with Zenki-san."

Koneko's words were stern, and because it was Koneko, Kuroka held her hands up in defence.

"Sorry nyaaa~ I didn't realize I was stepping into your territory. But taking your words seriously, does this mean that you wish to give your body to this child?"

Koneko acted shyly at that moment, her mouth drying, her eyes fluttering slightly.

"…I-If Zenki-san asked then…b-but, Nee-sama is too forward! S-She's always too forward!"

Cried the white haired Nekomata. Kuroka adopted an understanding face, and moved to Koneko's face, giving it a light stroke.

"It is okay Shirone, I understand your feelings. Us Nekomata's have a tendency to claim our territories. So, why don't we do this together? If it is Zenki-chan's member, we can share that, correct? You and I could share that…hey, this is a good idea. Why don't we enjoy a threesome together? I am sure that we will bond even more as sisters as this green haired child makes love to us over and over again."

Ravel gasped at that, clearly showing rejection to the idea. Koneko, had a face that showed she was contemplating it, but she wasn't going to give her virginity up at this age, while Zenki was thinking about the two of them together, and how he would lose control.

"Ooh hell no!" Zenki raised his objections, reluctantly, his blush increasing by the second. "W-We can't do things like that! S-Sexy and s-sultry meeting a-adorable and innocent…n-no way! I-I can't have the two of them together…I simply won't allow it! I-I am NOT being cornered by the Nekoshou sisters! It is too much!"

Kuroka snickered while Ravel nodded her head.

"Yes, as he said, y-you cannot do that."

Kuroka waved a hand at the Phenex girl.

"Then you can piss off while Shirone and I have sex with Zenki-chan~"

Kuroka snickered again while she pushed her breasts together, showing that she was having none of Ravel's crap right now.

"N-No I won't piss off as you suggested! I-I have to stay and help Zenki-sama-"

"Then, you can enjoy when me and Zenki-chan become one, and Shirone joins in as well nyaaa~"

Ravel fluttered her eyebrows, her eyelashes doing the same thing. It was easily clear that she was angry right now, but she wasn't going to lose control, fortunately Zenki stopped Kuroka from bullying Ravel anymore.

"Okay Kuroka-tan, you've had your fun."

Kuroka pouted shifting her weight towards him, snuggling against his upper body.

"But I am bored Zenki-chan. Can't we do something together nyaaa? You've been working on that shit for half the day, isn't that what Ravel-chan is for? Shouldn't she be the one that does do something about this crap? I mean, if she isn't here for that, why is she here in the first place? Can't she simply leave now?"

Zenki adopted an understanding face. Even he was bored right now, but he had more patience than Kuroka, and tried his best to keep her occupied.

"Kuroka-tan, I know you're bored, and Ravel-tan is doing something amazing for me. Why don't you play a video game or something? I just got a batch of them, and I know that you do love them, you know? I have seen something like that."

Zenki suggested as he wrote another rejection for him to gain another peerage member that he didn't want. He had been receiving them a lot lately, and without Ravel, he'd be drowning in them right now.

"Mouuuu…I guess I don't have a choice. But Zenki-chan, if I do this for you, I will have to ask that we have a naked bath later on nyaaa~ I've got to check how you're growing nyaaa~"

Zenki shivered, only nodding because that's all he could do at this moment in time.

Kuroka then adopted a smirk on her face.

"Say Zenki-chan, you going to see that Nun-chan again?"

Bringing up the nun, Zenki adopted a tiny blush on his face, but then shook his head rapidly.

"N-No! That's not it at all! I am going to protect her, is all! I am not doing anything!"

Kuroka smirked a little bit, and ran a hand across her breast, giving a wink towards him.

"Don't be so worried~ It is okay, she was pretty cute, not as fucking hot as me, but if that's your taste then I guess I won't be saying anything else nyaaa~"

Giving him an accusation as a joke, Zenki gave a firm shake of his head.

"I-I don't have a taste! I don't even like-"

"Holy girls~" Kuroka sang, licking her lips. "Ararara~ I didn't know that Zenki-chan had a taste for the nuns~ If that's the case, want me to dress up as a nun nyaaa~"

Ravel scoffed, snickering lightly.

"There's nothing holy about you, Kuroka-sama."

"At least I am not a beast."

Kuroka muttered childishly making Ravel's face contort into that of anger.

"Don't call me a beast!"

Ravel snapped as a small bolt of fire came from her fingers. Kuroka noticed the flames, shaking her head with a sigh.

"Silly Ravel-tan. Thinking she can do something like that."

With that in her head, Kuroka went to play a game as Koneko returned to her nap, sleeping against his chest as her tail wormed itself around his right leg. Her small body fit nicely on his lap, her Nekomata ears twitching as her eyes fell tightly closed, sleeping soundly on him as he continued his work with Ravel.


Later on, Zenki was sat before Sona, who was staring at him intently. Since he was currently sat with dinner in front of him, he just ate is slowly as Sona just stared at him with…even he didn't know what. Even Koneko usually showed if she was doing something that showed what she wanted. But right now, Sona had the stoic face down, which was quite scary if he was honest with himself.

He wasn't sure what to feel right now. He wasn't scared, yet he wasn't really comfortable either. It was something he couldn't work out. Sona didn't seem to be saying anything, and that made him feel complicated.

"Eeh, Sona-san…did you want to discuss something with me?"

He brought up, unable to stare at her anymore. something about her eyes were quite scary. Though her face was relaxed into a stoic look, it was still something terrifying for the young green haired boy, he was certain on that.

"Y-Yes…I am sorry, I did come here to discuss something. I was busy in my thoughts. Sorry, did I look weird?"

This time, Sona relaxed herself, calming herself, and composed herself.

"I'd be lying if I said that it wasn't, but it was kinda creepy." Sona's face fell into a frown while the boy cocked his head to the side. "So, Sona-san. Was there something that you needed to discuss with me?"

He prodded again, hoping to gain a true answer this time.

"Yes."

She answered with a single word.

That wasn't exactly anything that Zenki wanted to hear. It was a single word, and it didn't further the conversation. But somehow, he expected Sona to say something like that, and not answer like a normal person was. But he accepted that Sona wasn't normal, as he wasn't normal either.

Zenki raised his eyebrow.

"What's going on then?"

Sona coughed into her hand, furrowing her eyebrows.

"I have been hearing rumours lately, of there being a fiancée for you now. Since we're speaking frankly, I have been hearing rumours that it could be something like…ugh, Seekvaira-san. You know, I am sure she is pressing for this."

Sona made a bitter face, her frown deepening.

Zenki made a puzzled face at the expression Sona made.

"I didn't know this. Are you saying that I am going to be engaged with Seekvaira-tan? Is it something like that?"

"It is. Seekvaira-san is either lying to me, or she is just trying to hurt me again…b-but, it doesn't matter. I just thought that you'd wish to know this…and whatever you feel about it, is the something that you are feeling about it…s-so, what are you feeling about it?"

Sona made a slightly shy face, her face turning to the side so her expression was unreadable.

Zenki's face fell more into confusion as he looked at her with a weird expression on his face.

"I see, so that's how it is? So I could have Seekvaira-tan as a fiancée could I? Well, that was quite the surprise Sona-san. I didn't expect that to happen…actually, I am surprised that Seekvaira-tan would go along with something like this."

His face didn't display if he was happy or sad about that. Even Sona couldn't tell if he was frowning or smiling right now. He simply was just sitting there while eating the food the maid had prepared beforehand.

"Yes, that is true. It could be her that you could have to marry."

"Well, I guess it is okay."

His uncaring face made Sona's eyes widen ever so slightly, unsure of why he didn't even seem to care at all.

"B…But, it is something…Zenki, you did hear my words? If it is Seekvaira-san, you might have to marry."

Something about the tone she used wasn't the usual tone Sona would use. It was a tone that didn't belong to Sona. She was always so strict and together. But right now, she seemed to be a little lost, and even Zenki didn't know why that was.

"Yeah? I don't really see that much of a problem. I mean, she's pretty cool. Seekvaira-tan is quite nice to me, even if she does go mental over those Gundam things. I never really got into things like that, but she seems to love them so I can't say anything bad about it."

He hasn't honestly. But he didn't know anything about why Sona seemed to be upset or even mad about it. It didn't make sense to him, it wasn't anything major. To him, he'd rather it be someone that he knew and not someone that he didn't like. That was something he would rather have at this moment in time.

"…I see, so that's how it is. If it is Seekvaira-san, you won't object?"

Those words were practically spewed out. Even Zenki had to wince at the tone that she was using right now.

"W-Well, I suppose not. Seekvaira-tan is…"

"She is, what exactly?"

The quickfire question made Zenki push his seat back.

"W-Well, Seeky-tan is a cool girl…" Sona frowned as Zenki sweat nervously. "…b-but I think that Sona-tan is quite smart as well…and cool, and awesome and other things…y-yes, I think that if Sona-tan was to be picked, it would've been nice as well."

Hearing that, Sona adopted her normal face.

"Yes, that seems quite good. Also Onee-sama said that-"

"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkiiiiiiiiiii-tttttttttttttaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!"

Sona scowled as she heard the voice of Serafall.

And sure enough, Serafall came bouncing through the door, the dining room door, with various different clothing in her hands. She had a bright smile appear on her face, her eyes brimming with happy tears.

She looked around the room to see the scowling Sona.

"Sona-chan! To think that you'd have a meeting behind my back with Zenki-tan! Are you thinking about taking Zenki-tan for yourself!?"

"N-No, Onee-sama."

Sona rejected, but Serafall had a 'knowing' smile on her face.

"Now, now. Don't convince Onee-sama otherwise. I understand, you wish to get Zenki-tan in cute clothes as well!"

"Cute clothes…?"

Sona didn't understand what Serafall was talking about.

Serafall however turned her eyes to the nervous and scared looking Zenki.

"Arara, Zenki-tan is being adorable like always, trying to hide from me~ But Zenki-tan has to remember that I did him a favour yesterday! I cannot allow Zenki-tan to escape me now! And you also said you'd do anything for me!"

"I-I did say that…"

He couldn't deny it, but he was also afraid as well as what she was going to do to him. It wasn't going to be pleasant.

"That's why, I have brought cute clothes for Zenki-tan to wear for me!"

She announced and thrusted them forward. What she showed were all…girl clothing. Zenki looked to see if there was anything for males, but there weren't anything there. Sona had deduced what Serafall was going to do, feeling sorry for Zenki.

Zenki himself was afraid of Serafall right now.

"B-But there doesn't seem to be any boy clothes though?"

"That's right! Even though I am like this, I am also wanting to taste Zenki-tans form in a cute skirt! We could be adorable girlfriends together! We could be yuri with one another, even Sona-chan could join in! Since you have a cute face, it would be better if this happens!"

Zenki jumped from his seat straight away, crossing his arms in an X shape as Sona looked worried for herself.

"No way! I am NOT dressing up for you!"

His rejection made Serafall adopt large eyes, tears brimming to the surface.

"B-But, if Zenki-tan doesn't do it, I will become depressed…I was looking forward to it all day…but if Zenki-tan says that he isn't going to do it…t-then, what am I supposed to do…? I want to see Zenki-tan dressed in cute clothes…"

Serafall's eyes were like puppy dogs. She even whined like a puppy would, sniffing and shuffling on her feet, an innocent demeanour appearing.

Zenki felt his heart beat at the cuteness, his face reddening as he took a step backwards.

"N-No! Even if you do that…I cannot do it…"

Serafall walked closer, so Zenki ran around the table, hiding behind Sona, astonishing her.

"W-What are you doing!?"

"Hiding!"

Zenki answered the panicked Sona, who looked troubled at her elder sister coming closer.

"B-But, if Onee-sama comes, is going to come for me then you!"

"Sorry for sacrificing you!"

Sona's eyes became moist as Serafall leaned closer to Sona and the hiding Zenki, her eyes leaking tears.

"Waaaaaaaah! Even my Imouto is shunning me! This can't be! I need to have threesome time with Zenki-tan and Sona-tan! If I can't have that, then what is there in this world for me!? I can't have anything else! So, I have to claim both of you! Come here my Imouto and Zenki-tan! Onee-sama is going to have fun with you both!"

Hearing that was too much for Sona.

Her bottom lip quivered and she shot to her feet, grabbing Zenki's hand and rushed out of the room.

"SONA-TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

"RUN FAST OR ONEE-SAMA IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING TO YOU THAT YOU'LL REGRET! TRUST ME!"

Sona answered as she twisted her head back, seeing a blubbering Serafall chasing after them.

"SONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! ZENKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! WAIT FOR ONEEE-SAMA! SHE WANTS TO PLEASE BOTH OF HER FAVOURITE PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!"

TACKLE!

""AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!""

…That day, Sona and Zenki were caught by Serafall.


In a certain area of Europe, a few days after the events of the Serafall incident, the blonde haired nun sat.

She was doing her daily praying. Kneeling down, she seemed to be praying at least. Though the words she said couldn't be heard, the position of her hands, and the way she showed her serious eyes, she was praying.

Her hands and body shivered at the coldness of the day. There was fresh snow on the ground, though right now it wasn't snowing at all. The sun held itself high in the sky, beaming down brilliantly, allowing her golden blonde hair to look more and more dazzling.

Unknown to her, however...

There was someone watching her.

Up above, in a high tree, was a certain green haired Devil. On his lap, was a sketch book, and an image of the girl was there. In the same position she was in right now, the image reflected that. The eyes also shone with the innocence that was in her eyes. But behind her, where a pair of angelic wings, an Angel. Her long flowing hair wasn't restricted by the veil she wore.

It was a very beautiful picture that was drawn. The artist has a talent for drawing, and the artist happened to be Zenki Astaroth.

He was dressed for the winter months, having a large coat on his body, and gloves as well. He had a bobbled hat on, covering his head and kept him warm from the snow that had recently fallen. Even then, he could see his metal birds around, keeping his signature away from the Church so they don't spot him.

Even though it was a cold day, Zenki was watching the nun for…reasons he couldn't explain.

He couldn't understand it. For a few months now, he'd come to watch the nun. At first, it was to keep Diodora away from her. But he found himself being drawn back more and more again at the same time, to this nun.

He knew she had a healing power, and that was great…but it was something else as well.

Something about how she looked, about how she was standing and how she held herself. Even though she smiled, he found that something behind her emerald eyes that he didn't like…no, to be more accurate, he was sure that there was something lonely about her existence.

She seemed to be a lonely girl, yet she was surrendered to her life. But he could see that she wanted something, more. Whatever that was, he wasn't that sure. But just looking at her gave him a small smile.

"Ooh my, it is snowing again."

Zenki heard her voice carry to his ears as he gently drew the last part of his image of her.

That's when a snow drop fell onto the image. Then another fell, and another.

Soon, a rain pour of the snow happened. Though it wasn't a heavy flow of snow, it was something that he couldn't ignore. Even the nun couldn't ignore it either. It was something that allowed the snow to fall down and somehow made the girl even more stunning in his eyes.

Snow and the girl seemed to agree with one another. Blonde meeting a blanket of white. It was a very beautiful sight to behold.

At that moment, Zenki noticed something out of the corner of his eye…

It was something large. It had large claws, and an equally disgusting looking face. His eyes were red, large and round. It was at least 7 foot tall, as far as Zenki could tell alone with visual observation. The hands of the creature leaked with demonic power.

Zenki could tell instantly that this creature was a Stray Devil.

Zenki curiously watched as the Devil walked closer. He made suspicious movements, and moved closer to the Church.

At first, he thought that it was nuts. A Stray going towards a Church. It was one of the last places he expected a Devil to be at. It was unthinkable that a Devil would even go near a Church. Even he had to question why he was going near a Church himself.

But then he saw that its large eyes were looking straight for the nun.

"Why would it want…but this has happened recently…"

The thought was on his lips.

He had no idea why the Devil was heading for the nun, and he wasn't sure what to do. He wasn't sure if there were some Exorcists around or not. If he revealed himself, he could be in trouble for spending time around an area with a Church, and for the 13 year old Zenki, it wasn't an option that he could afford to have.

But when he didn't notice anyone coming, and the nun was unware, he jumped from the tree and like a bullet, he shot for the Devil and landed a very heavy kick to the Devils face, sending it flying away from the Church, and away from the girl as well.

"AAAAAAAARGH!"

The Devil was flung through the air, and several trees as well. It broke them apart, Zenki wincing and hoped that he didn't draw the attention of the Church.

Zenki didn't look back, not aware that the nun had noticed the sound, and used his wings to fly towards the enemy Devil that threatened the nun girl, keeping the image that he drew in his back pocket.

Making it a fair distance, Zenki stood between himself and the Church, folding his arms as he looked at the Devil man with narrowed eyes.

"Coming near a Church, what is your objective exactly? Could it be the nun over there? If that is the case, then I cannot allow you to get past me."

The Devil snarled as it took to its feet. From Zenki's kick, it drew some blood from the Devil. His nose looked to be either broken or sprained. Zenki couldn't tell from the distance. But he could see the blood that came from his nose, running down his face.

"Y-You little bastard, coming out of nowhere! I was trying to find my prey you bastard!"

Zenki rolled his eyes at being called a bastard as the Devil walked closer. His heavy footsteps could be felt by Zenki himself. It shook the ground around him, even the trees were also shaking as well, but the boy didn't feel intimidation at all.

"Sorry, but I cannot allow you past-"

At that moment, out of the concern of his eye, he noticed something coming for him.

Quickly reacting, he turned to see powerful ice daggers coming for him, once being right near his face.

He pulled back, twisting his head to the side as the ice dagger cut his cheek, drawing a little line of blood. Zenki gritted his teeth, and expertly avoided the rest of the ice daggers, jumping towards the left, where the ice daggers impaled the ground, and then coat themselves in the snow that was falling towards the ground.

His eyes then went towards were the daggers were fired, and saw that there was a vulgar looking female Stray Devil. He could tell she was stray by the look in her eyes, guessing that she was a previous Bishop, and from the flow of demonic power, he could feel that she was a High-Class Devil.

"So, two Stray Devils out for a walk by the Church huh? Seems a little suspicious to me."

The female Devil stepped forward, and allowed demonic power to enter her hand, a high grade demonic power. The male Devil also took a step forward, his hand coating in more and more demonic power.

"Sorry Devil boy, but we're here to eliminate anything that gets in our way! And that includes you!"

The woman didn't give him a single moment to relax, unleashing a violent demonic power. Because of the speed, Zenki took to the sky, the demonic power embedding into the ground and creating a crater from the demonic power.

As he dodged, the Devil took to the sky as well, the male Devil that is, bringing his hand forth and went to strike Zenki with the heavy looking fist.

Sticking out his hand, Zenki created a barrier and defended himself from the fist. Though the fist made contact with the barrier, it didn't break. The barrier was sturdy, it didn't move even an inch, it didn't gain a crack, surprising the male Devil greatly.

"Green hair, and a strong demonic talent…you wouldn't happen to be Ajuka's son?"

The male Devil made a guess, an accurate guess, which Zenki smirked at as he pushed the hand away from his body, dropping the barrier and took higher into the sky, twisting his body upside down as he made it above the male Devil.

"Ding, ding, you get it right, and here's your reward!"

With the use of gravity and his own strength, Zenki sent a strong foot at the Devils head. He went to block with his arm, but Zenki was too speedy, using what he had learned with training with Sairaorg to speed his movements and smash his foot against the Devils head.

The head bent around his foot, contorting into a completely different shape as blood leaked out. From the strong foot, the Devil was sent to the ground, smashing the ground apart into different sections with his foot alone.

"Bastard!"

The female Devil didn't give him much time and unleashed bullets of demonic power.

Zenki looked at the bullets, and a formula appeared in his hand…it was the Kankura Formula. The same one that his Father was famous for. The equations spun around in his hand as the bullets made it to him.

Since he wasn't skilled like his Father was, he couldn't control all of the bullets. But he controlled five of them with his power, taking control over them himself, and strengthened them with his own demonic power, and fired them right back at the Devil woman.

"I-Inconceivable! To take control over my own power…!"

She could hardly believe what she saw.

The demonic bullets Zenki controlled cleaved through the bullets.

She gasped at it, and placed her own hands out, gathering a violent ball of demonic power. The grade of it was high, and Zenki could see that as well. He allowed the bullets he had under his control however to be shot forward against the violent ball of demonic power and the remaining bullets she had fired.

"Don't underestimate me! I won't lose to a shitty Devil like you! I won't fucking lose to someone like you, punk bastard!"

The woman shouted, shooting forth the ball. It grew a little bit as it was shot off. The ball spun around in the air, showing how powerful it was. Zenki couldn't complain either, it was a blast from a High-Class Devil, but he could tell that it wasn't as strong as some other Devils he knew.

"That's a good shot, Devil-san. But I cannot be beaten by something like this, so take these!"

Zenki continued the bullets path, increasing the strength of the demonic power with his own thanks to the Kankura Formula that he had been training with for a few years now, and bombarded the ball with the increased bullets of demonic power.

It clashed in the centre, and each of the bullets tore away at the ball, blasting it apart one by one, astonishing the female Devil that unleashed the ball.

"N-No fucking way! You can't be doing this! You're a punk Devil! How are you beating my ball!?"

She couldn't believe it. She could see her attack losing strength, losing its shape from the bullets. She could see it disappearing before her eyes, and she couldn't understand why. She shot off a ball that was stronger than the bullets, yet

"My power and yours together, equals stronger power. Even a simple equation can be understood like this, can't it? I'm a Devil that likes filling in equations, dealing with the things that are set out before my eyes. And when I see a problem, I can use my specialized demonic power to fix it, so to speak. To fill in the holes that are set before me. I can see flaws in your demonic power, and I used my demonic power to control your power. And I have added my own demonic power to strengthen your own attacks. Though I cannot control all phenomenon with my own power, I can control a certain amount of attacks. And guess what sweetie? I can control yours as well, so have this and disappear."

As he said that, the last of the bullets finished off the ball, disappearing it from the very existence that had been made by the Devil before him.

Once the ball was gone, Zenki had one bullet left under his control and forced it towards the female Devil. She took a step back, and raised a few barriers between her and the bullet, sensing that the attack was more than it should be.

"Hahahahahaha! Try and get through these! These are made by my high strong demonic power! Even you won't be able to break these!"

She seemed to be very confident. It was something that was coming off quite cocky. Even Zenki could see the cockiness that was in the girls eyes right now, and that was a downfall he found for her, that she was being cocky, something he never thought he would be as it was detrimental to a fight, he believed.

"Twist and bend!"

Zenki, as the bullet was about to hit the barrier, twisted around it. The woman became shocked and frightened when the bullet went around her barriers, as opposed to actually hitting them. She was confused on how he could do that, being unware of the Kankura Formula, despite knowing of Ajuka himself, and to an extent, his own son.

"N-No way!"

The Devil went to move backwards, but the bullet was too fast. It made it towards her, embedding itself into her chest, blowing apart her shirt to reveal her breasts, Zenki quickly yelling "Sorry!" as he didn't intend that to happen.

She cried out and fell to the ground, a smoking hole in her chest. Though it wasn't enough to kill her, blood poured out of the wound. Her eyes become a little blank from the attack she received. Her eyes looked on in fear as she noticed Zenki return to the ground, his demonic power radiating from his body.

"The difference is too great! W-We can't…n-no! This isn't something that you should be doing! I am going to be end your life you bastard!"

Even though she yelled that with all her might, she attempted to stand, but the wound on her chest didn't allow her. Pain surged throughout her body, forcing her downwards onto the ground, her eyes leaking a few tears as well.

Zenki held no sympathy for this person. He was a pretty good judge of character, and he could usually tell if the person he was fighting was good or evil. In the face of this Devil, and what he presumed to be her boyfriend, there wasn't anything good about them. They didn't show anything that allowed them to be redeemable in his eyes.

"Devil-sans, you shouldn't-"

"Die!"

Recovering from the kick before, the male Devil sprung to his feet and charged Zenki. He banged his hands together and formed demonic power. It swirled around his hands, Zenki remembering when he did the same thing from fighting Sairaorg.

But unlike the Devil charging for him, Zenki could see flaws in the way he spread the demonic power, seeing that there was flaws that he could easily exploit.

"Haaaah!"

The Devil made it to him and swung his fist harshly. Zenki bent his body downwards, avoiding the fist going over his head. Because of the force he used, Zenki noticed the change in the air above his head, and then witnessed that in the path he thrusted his fist forward, a gash in the snow appeared, as if he used the air itself to carve himself a path.

"My, if I need a snow-plough, I shall look you up."

Zenki snickered as the Devils snarled. Zenki straightened his body and jumped a little distance away when noticing the male Devil coming with a heavy punch. The punch fractured the ground, where Zenki stood previously, the boy himself landing a few feet away.

The Devil growled out in hate, his red eyes standing on the boys form. He tightened his fists, gathered a large quantity of demonic power in his fists, coating them. Zenki could tell the power had increased around his fists, though even then Zenki was confident that he was able to handle it.

"Prepare to die you shitty brat! Then we'll take the nun as well!"

He proclaimed at the top of his lungs. He yelled this out, finding it to be a funny thing to do. He even howled with laughter, clearly not caring about the Devil female that was struggling to even move at this point, Zenki finding that quite disgusting.

At the words, Zenki became a little angry.

Zenki furrowed his brow, shaking his head with a scowl.

"Nope, I am afraid I cannot allow you to do that. I won't allow you to bypass me and head for the nun. You cannot disrupt such a person with your villain attitude, so I shall gladly eliminate you, and your Devil girlfriend over there."

He gestured to the Devil lady, who was still on the ground. Try as she might, she couldn't get up. The wound she received was too much for her. She was sure that she wouldn't be able to do much now. She wouldn't be able to move, as she made a mistake.

"DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

The Devil howled into the sky, and charged forward again.

This time, he picked up his speed, but Zenki could read the level of speed the man was using. It was slower than Sairaorg, therefore he was able to keep up with it.

"Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!"

The Devil threw punch after punch at Zenki. Using his small body, he danced around the fists. He didn't raise a barrier, he didn't need to do so. He was able to work around all of the punches without receiving a single amount of damage.

When noticing that his attacks weren't landing, the Devil yelled "DIE!" and tried even harder. The fists came faster and faster. But for the trained Zenki, they didn't make it through. They didn't reach Zenki's body, they didn't even touch him.

"Hah!"

Zenki saw an opening and took advantage of it. He used his quick moving feet to force his body forward, and with a single elbow to the gut, the Devils body bent around it in extreme amounts of pain. His eyes bulged as he coughed up blood from the elbow.

"Guwah!"

The blood splattered as Zenki removed his elbow. He brought his fist up, tightened it very tightly, and coated it in demonic power. Zenki walked back a little bit, moving his fist to show the Devil his fist.

"See, this is a fist of demonic power. Yours was flawed. I sense that you haven't trained before. Devils like that will remain weak. Talent isn't everything. Sai-tan taught me that. you can't simply rely on your own talent, it is a matter of using your demonic power you are born with or receive when turning into a Devil via Evil Piece, and training it, harnessing it, and becoming more than what you were before."

The Devil that received the blow watched helplessly as Zenki smashed his fist against the Devils face, blowing him back, knocking the Devil out clean with his very strong yet small fist.

Zenki regarded the Devil with a curious gaze before moving forward with his demonic power swirling around him.

"Since you're a Stray with a black heart, I shall gladly eliminate you."

Zenki swirled the demonic power in his hand, and aimed it at the unconscious Devil. The Devil layed helpless as the green energy washed over the Devil, erasing him from existence from the very high grade of demonic power that the Devil boy known as Zenki used.

Once the Devil was gone, Zenki stopped his demonic power and walked closer to the female Devil.

Seeing her end was nigh, she tried her best to get away from him. She brought demonic power to her fingers and fired off countless bullets towards him.

Responding to that, Zenki placed his hand forward and made bullets as well. With a flick of his wrist, Zenki fired off his demonic bullets.

The bullets clashed in between them, but Zenki's ones easily squashed the other Devils. Fear set into the eyes of the Devil lady, who wanted to return immediately. But she couldn't. She couldn't move at all. She was stuck in her place, and only did what she could, using her demonic power in barriers.

"Y-You won't get through them!"

She proudly proclaimed, hoping Zenki would give up…he didn't.

Instead, Zenki placed his hand forward, and gathered a large volume of demonic power. The woman's eyes lost its light when it grew to be around the size of her body. She could feel alone that the demonic power was that of a High-Class Devil, and maybe even stronger than that. She couldn't be sure, but she was sure that she could be doomed now.

"With this, you'll disappear!"

Zenki, with a single hand motion, fired off the large quantity of demonic power at the barriers and the woman herself.

It met the first barrier, destroying it instantly. The woman gasped and placed more and more barriers in front of her. But all of them were destroyed with Zenki's demonic power. Because of who his parents are, he was blessed with a high talent for demonic power, therefore had a strong demonic power that could break through anything like what this Devil could produce.

"Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The demonic power was too strong, and it washed over the female Devil, breaking her barriers in the process. Her life was lost when the green energy became too violent and allowed itself to be washed over her like a wave from the ocean, engulfing her life from this very world.

Once she was defeated, Zenki stopped the demonic power, and took a breath, putting a hand to his cheek where he could feel the faint line of blood running down his face.

Using his finger, he brought it to his face to see the blood, then wiped the thin line from the scratch from his face, drying the cut that he had received, stopping the flow of the blood, wearing the cut with a little pride.


"Excuse me."

Zenki froze at the voice.

He recognized the voice, very well. He obviously did, he should know this voice very well, since he had been watching the person the voice belonged too for a few months now. It was clear as day, but at a distance which Zenki hoped that the person the voice belonged too wasn't aimed at him, but at someone else.

Hesitantly, he turned his face around, and was met with her face.

The face of an Angel, he thought. The green eyes were unmistakable, they were the eyes of a saint. The blonde hair caught his attention, her fringe being blown around by the air that was picking up speeds from the snow that was becoming more heavy.

He hoped that she was talking to someone else, but…the eyes were on his form. It wasn't something he could deny any longer. The girl was looking at him, and speaking to him. Fortunately, he couldn't sense anyone around, and as long as he didn't come into contact with her, physical, she wouldn't be accused of associating with Devils, he didn't want that for the girl. He understood how it would look if she was seen with a Devil, and he didn't want to ruin her current life, even if she seemed to be a little lonely.

Seeing her up close, Zenki took a step back, unable to say anything as he felt his face heat up. Just being this close to her, his enhanced sense of smell could catch her scent, and it made him melt from the very fragrance that she emitted naturally.

"P-Please wait a second."

The nun girl said gently, her voice that of a wondering Angel.

"A-Ah…erm…y-yes, I-I am…"

He didn't know what to say.

His heart pounded in his chest faster and faster. He couldn't even breathe straight. Nothing truly ever scared him, but right now, he was feeling close to that. He wasn't afraid of the girl herself, but something about her made him feel this way. Something about her eyes made him feel as if he was going to turn into putty in her hands, but he's never felt like this before. He couldn't work out why this was. He couldn't even imagine that the girl would be doing anything to him that made him feel like this.

"You are an Angel, correct?"

The girl suddenly came out with that, as a bemused smile appeared on Zenki's face, forgetting his nervousness for a few seconds.

"What makes you think I am an Angel?"

Zenki countered, taking a step back.

Even so, the girl moved a single step forward.

"You saved me from the naughty Devil-sans, correct? That power was that of an Angel, yes?"

Zenki blinked a single time, confusion on his face.

"So…she didn't see my Devil wings then…and she mistook my demonic power for angelic power? I-I guess that if she didn't see it fully, and the green colour of my demonic power, must look angelic to her…w-well, if that's the case, then I can use this to my advantage so she doesn't know that I am a Devil and she won't get into trouble."

Zenki nodded to himself in his mind, allowing her to believe the lie.

He cleared his throat, and answered the young nun.

"I…I wasn't saving you…I was just, passing by and it happened that I came across them and…eeh, yeah, that's it really."

He lied.

He didn't want to say that he had been watching her. It wouldn't come off very well if she didn't know the reason behind it, one reason anyway being Diodora. That was the main reason he watched over her, he told himself this at least.

Even then, the girl shook her head, putting her hands together.

"B-But, I heard the Devil-san threaten to hurt me, but you said he wouldn't be allowed. Only an Angel would do something like this~ It is because I pray very much, and I believe in our Lord and Saviour." The girl placed her hands in a praying stance, Zenki becoming a little worried. "Dear Lord, thank you for sending down your green haired Angel to offer protection to this humble nun."

Zenki winced as she prayed, because he was a Devil. But unlike most Devils, he didn't overreact to the prayer she gave, only showing a gritted teeth expression on his face. While he did feel the effects of the pray, especially as it was directed towards him, with him being the green haired Devil, but he was able to keep a calm and collected face.

"W-Well, it seems that God has…eeh, answered your prayers or something…s-so, I am going to leave…"

Hearing that, the nun shook her head again, Zenki taking another step backwards.

"Please wait…erm, can I repay your gratitude for saving my life? Maybe, I could make some tea? I am not the best…but, I would like to repay your kindness. As God would say, repaying an act of kindness is a reward in of itself."

The honest question made Zenki contemplate it and wonder "Is that what God really say?" as he genuinely didn't know about it, not being in big with the man upstairs, in fact he made it a point to avoid anything God related.

Even though he knew he couldn't, he contemplated it for a brief second. For that second, he wanted to say "Of course!" but held himself back fortunately.

"I'm sorry, I cannot stay."

He rejected the idea, even if he did want to stay and talk with her. It was better if he didn't stay around the girl, fearing that something could happen if something came of this. He didn't want her to be in trouble with God or the Church. That was the last thing he wanted.

"But…erm, can I...can I know the Angels name?"

The girl pushed, gently allowing her voice to carry to his ears.

Zenki bit his bottom lip at the sounds she was making.

"Ehehe…I'm not an Angel…"

When he went to deny it, the young girl shook her head again adorably.

"No, that can't be true. The Angel has the hair of nature."

"The hair of nature?"

He became baffled as she pointed at his head, or more specifically, his hair.

"It is very beautiful green. It looks like a forest, a beautiful forest matched with shiny kind eyes. So, you have to be an Angel. Y-You are, undercover, correct? God…he gave you a mission and you have to be undercover, yes?"

Zenki gave a small chuckle, loving her imagination already, and he decided to play along.

"You found me out. I am an Angel, but you can't tell anyone you met me here, okay? You can't ever mention it to members of the Church, okay? It would be bad if anyone found out about this green haired Angel coming down from Heaven to, slay the naughtiness of this world and protect the best followers of the Lord, which includes you who is one of God's best and devoted followers."

Even though it was a lie (to him at least) the girl adopted a smile at the thought that her hard work as a nun was paying off. Even with the lie, Zenki was glad he told it as it seemed to cheer the girl up immensely, and she allowed a beautiful smile to appear on her face.

At that moment, his heart was taken by the girl. Her smile was captivating, enchanting. It was unlike any other smile he had seen before. He could feel his heart smashing against his chest, threatening to break out. His breathing became laboured as intense emotions overtook him. He bit his bottom lip, the uncomfortable feeling making him feel as if he was going to pass out.

He didn't know what this feeling was, but despite the uncomfortable feeling, he felt like he was quite tranquil right now. He didn't feel anything like he was going to die. It was the opposite actually. It was a feeling unlike any other, and he loved it.

"I'm glad~"

The girl sung out beautifully, Zenki showing a ghost of a smile.

"Y-Yes, and now, this Angel has to leave…goodbye."

Zenki was about to leave, but the nun inched closer.

"M-My name is Asia, Asia Argento…what is your name? And please call me Asia~"

Asking it with a clear voice, Zenki felt like he had no choice but to obey.

"M-My name is…Zenki…yes, that's it…"

"Zenki…sama?"

Because she thought he was an Angel, she thought she had to use the honorific 'sama' on his name. but Zenki didn't allow that, crossing his arms.

"No, don't call me that. E-Even if I am an…Angel, just call me…Zenki."

He muttered out, attempting to fight down the blush on his cheeks, that could even make Rias' hair jealous with the amount of redness that was on his cheeks. His cheeks looked like Christmas lights right now and even Asia seemed to be matching that same level of intensity that he was showing right now with regards to his cheeks.

"O-Okay Zenki-san…I haven't heard of an Angel…called Zenki-san before? A-Are you a recently decision by God?"

The girl named Asia noted, Zenki began sweating nervously, and made up a convincing lie if he did say so himself.

"O-Oh, that's because I am God's special combat unit, The Justice Burning Angels as we are known by. Despite my age, I am very skilled in protecting God's followers, like I did for you, young follower of our Saviour and Grace, his Lord that is admired very much throughout the world young follower of God. I am not like Michael…sama and Gabriel-sama…they are my superiors and that's something that…is it."

At that moment, he felt like Serafall was going to kill him for adding 'sama' on Gabriel's name. But to keep up pretences, he had to do this. He couldn't do anything other than this, it was something that he had to do.

Surprisingly, Asia seemed to accept that lie, showing shiny eyes towards Zenki. But then a thought came to the young nun, and it made her feel a little disheartened.

"A-Am I going to see you again?"

At that, he didn't know what to say.

He wanted to say no. He wanted to get out of there so he didn't disrupt her life anymore than he had. But he couldn't. Something inside of him wouldn't allow him to comply with what should be right.

"A-Ah…well, I have my…Angel missions to do…" Her face became crestfallen, and he hated seeing her like that, so he put his hand to the back of his head, and coughed a little bit. "W-Well, since you seem like a very lovely girl, m-maybe when I have time off, I could come back and see y-you. But remember, you can't tell anyone of my existence, okay? This is very top secret, even amongst the Church, only very high members of the Church can know of this, but aren't allowed to discuss it with others, s-so please take care, k-keep quiet about me a-and I will see you, sometime in the future!"

With that, Zenki spread his wings, but they looked white and angelic. That was due to him crafting a very quick illusion around his wings, and while he wasn't Kuroka level skill with illusions, he could use his demonic power to craft illusions.

To Asia, the wings looked very beautiful. So much so that she put her hands together and a stray tear fell from her eyes, and thinking that combined with his face, the wings only made Zenki look more handsome than he already did.

With a flap of the wings, Zenki took to the sky.

As he flew, Asia noted that something fell out of his pocket, and landed on the ground.

She quickly rushed over to see the piece of paper. Before it could become wet from the snow, she picked it up, and opened it, to see the very same image that Zenki had drew of her before, putting a hand to her crimson cheeks, blushing brightly when thinking the 'Angel' drew someone like her, hugging the picture to her chest.

"Zenki-san…the very kind Angel-san…I can't wait to see Zenki-san again, my hero Angel-san."

With a smile on her lips, Asia hid the picture on her person so no one else would find it, respecting Zenki's wishes of being secret, going back into the Church while thinking of the green haired 'Angel' that saved her life.

What she failed to notice was Diodora standing at a very far distance, clenching his teeth together bitterly, angrily, his eyes displaying a rage like no other. Truly, Diodora was insanely pissed due to the fact that Zenki had done what he wanted to do, and that was meet with Asia. Unfortunately, for him, he couldn't stay around long as he felt Zenki coming back to make sure that the demonic power wasn't noticed by the Church members, so he quickly slipped away, vowing "I'm gonna have to do something about him, time for the big gun option." in his heart, his murderous eyes set on Zenki, and his disgusting eyes on Asia.


End chapter!

So, Zenki has met Ophis this chapter! Though it was brief, there will be more meetings in the furture! The reason? It will become apparent as the story goes on! Even if it seemed random, it will become quite apparent as we get into the story and she is indeed in the harem as for why will be shown when my plans for her are shown in the future. And Asia and Zenki have met one another! Things can only heat up from here!

From reading the reviews and PM's, it seems that Le Fay and Kunou were pretty popular, the most popular actually. So, they've made it into the peerage! And with that, the peerage is complete! Sorry for the others that didn't make it, but I am appreciative of the votes all the same, so thank you very much with helping me make this decision!

With regards to Rias and Akeno, I haven't fully decided yet. Rias, I am kind of leaning more towards Issei for her. Akeno however, could go both ways, as she has chemistry with either of the boys.
