Chapter 14
Days passed by, and things had become relatively normal, Zante currently was in bed with Rias, enjoying a peaceful moment between them.
"I'm going to tell Isane about the supernatural." Rias expressed to Zante. "I believe she would be a great candidate, to become a Devil. And I think she would thrive in such a life as well. After we've talked, I can't deny she's a very interesting girl, quite Bishounen loving."
Zante snorted. "Sounds like Isane-chan~"
Rias's hand runs across Zante's naked chest, her eyes showing her enthusiasm. "Plus, I do find her pretty funny, and energetic."
"It sounds like you're becoming friends, Rias-chan." Zante noted.
Rias purses her lips. "Yeah, I would say that we are. So, when I tell her about being a Devil, want to be there? I'm sure she'd be happy to know her seductive Devil was an actual Devil. Though, I'm still not sure if she'd actually want to become a Devil."
"I'd go with the ups and downs to it. Since she wields Boosted Gear, she's going to be targeted by a number of people. Not only people such as the Fallen Angels. I think making her aware of that would be best."
Rias agreed. "Definitely, there's always perks to everything in life, I'm glad we can have this opportunity to discuss, and show her the good and the bad about our lives."
Zante shows a soft smile, stretching his arms. "Yeah, like what with Dohnaseek. Unfortunately, he could've just been the beginning."
Rias nods slowly. "I can't believe he made a play like that. Have you discovered why he did that?"
"I have a very good idea on why he did it. One, he didn't think it was for him to simply watch over someone with a 'useless Sacred Gear' and wanted to get out of it, so what better than to kill her, a human that he thought no one would really think about."
Rias shakes her head in disappointment. "Its really horrible how he thinks."
"He'll be punished for sure, Azazel-san is absolutely livid that he would do something like that." Zante lets out a small breath. "Thankfully, he's stopped for now. And the Fallen Angels wont get that far either."
Rias adopts a cool looking half smile on her face, allowing her nimble fingers to run across his face. Her gaze meets his own, and she brings her mouth onto his, allowing their lips to begin meshing together over and over again.
Rias moans as Zante deeply kisses her, his tongue rolling around within her mouth. She felt his tongue going around his, and she was feeling the incredible wave of emotion flooding through her being.
Her hand cupped her right breast, hungrily looking into Zante's eyes, and his chest. "Mmmm, Zante~"
Rias's voice runs through his throat, enticing him all the more.
Zante takes her breast, and begins massaging her chest, Rias's eyes filled with excitement.
His fingertips nestled against her hot skin, his fingers feeling cool, and contrasting well with her flesh.
Their kiss becomes hot and heavy, Rias's mind begins to fill with a cloud of desire spreading throughout her being, lighting up her synapses, surging electricity throughout her body, and she felt her yearnings growing all the more.
She climbs onto Zante's hips, she looks at his naked chest, running a finger up and down. "Now that we're alone Zante, what shall we do together?"
Zante shows a small smile, as Rias's lips move to Zante's neck, beginning to suck on his skin, while trailing kisses down his neck, and looking deep into his eyes, showing a loving smile as they spent an hour together with her lover.
After spending the hour with Rias, Zante begins getting dressed, when he saw that he was getting a hologram call. He activated, as he grabs a pair of boxers, and slides them on, revealing in the hologram, it was Gabriel.
Gabriel's eyes looked over Zante's near naked form, and her cheeks burn a number of shades of red.
"Good morning Gabriel-sama. Its always a pleasure."
"Pleasure is all mine Zante-kun~"
Zante gives amused eyes, sitting on the edge of the bed.
Gabriel couldn't take her eyes off of his form.
She looked over his muscles, and his strong looking arms and legs. His handsome face that had become even more so over the years, and Gabriel could feel a wave of attraction flow through her.
Zante quickly grabbed some clothes, throwing them on.
Gabriel's beating heart beat in her chest. "Zante-kun, remember when we talked about that girl, named Asia Argento?"
"The holy maiden, sure. What's going on with her?"
Zante knew Gabriel wouldn't mention it, if it didn't have anything to do with him, since she was a holy maiden, or rather, a former one.
"I've been following the girls movements, and I became surprised, when it appears she's moving towards Japan potentially."
Zante blinks. "She's coming to Japan huh. Any idea why here of all places? Since she's a free agent now, she could literally go anywhere."
"I, I don't really know why she chose Japan, but I have a bad feeling inside." She confessed. "Since she isn't with the church, I hate to ask Zante-kun, but could you-"
"Of course." Zante cut her off, showing a warm smile for her.
Gabriel was so happy, and relieved. "Thank you, Zante-kun. This girl, is really kind. And she's on her own. I, I am so sad with what happened with her, and I wish I could've done more for her, but in the end, her Sacred Gear…"
"I remember you saying, that she has a power to heal." Zante mused. "I have heard of the holy maiden before, never got a chance to meet her. But she does sound like a nice girl, caught at the wrong time doing a nice thing."
"Unfortunately, she was, and because of it...I feel for her, she is a really nice girl, I'd not want to have anything happen to her..."
Zante rubs his chin. "We'll see what we can do for her, I promise."
Gabriel shows her everlasting smile, and felt relief flood through her entire being. "Zante-kun, thank you."
Zante waved his hand. "You don't have to thank me for that. She's an innocent girl in trouble. Even if she's a former church member."
Gabriel developed saddened eyes. "By the time I heard about this, it was too late to do anything about it."
Zante shakes his head. "Please don't worry, you're an amazingly kind and compassionate Angel, Gabriel-san, you have nothing to feel guilty about. Things like this happen, because of the people that are disgusting and target others for various reasons. The only one that should feel guilty, is the one who clearly did this to have her banished from the church."
Gabriel's eyes flickered. "Do you think its deliberate?"
"Truly, I don't have enough to go on to say one way or the other. But, from what I do know, a girl with incredible healing power, has now been cast out on her own, vulnerable. A Devil, showed up needing healing, in a town that so happened to have a healer. Jumping to conclusions isn't something I usually do, but the evidence speaks for itself, doesn't it?"
Gabriel rubs her chin in thought. "Now that you say it, Zante-kun. I think you could be right. The timing, place, it seems really perfect. Ooh no, someone could've targeted this poor girl. Zante-kun…"
"Its alright, we'll take care of her. If this person shows their face, we'll make sure she's safe…lets see, Vali-chan would be good for this, for now she's safe, right, Gabriel-san?"
"She is." Gabriel said as a certainty.
"Then could you let me know where exactly she is? Then we can take it from there."
No sooner as he said it, there was some items delivered to Zante's feet.
He could see it had to do with locations regarding this Asia Argento. "All I have on her location."
Zante picks it up, and goes through it. "Thanks, I'll have my peerage get right on it, and see what we can do."
Gabriel placed a hand on her bountiful chest, her eyes sinking into his own. "Zante-kun, thank you. Though you are a Devil, and I an Angel, I feel like we have grown so close. I thought it would be good before, but now I know for certain that I do want to be with you, and I want to spend all of my time with you, Zante-kun."
Zante was taken by her sweetness, and his eyes went into her own.
She felt her heart going pitter pat, and she loved his gaze right on her.
"Me too, I can't wait for us to spend time together. When you're free, and there's nothing ending the town going on~"
Gabriel giggled at his joke. "I can't wait for it. And thank you."
Zante gives his dutiful smile as she vanishes, showing that she didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Later on, before school happened, Zante and Vali were training with one another, and discussing what had happened with the girl he spoke to Gabriel about, causing Vali to become intrigued by everything going on.
"So, this girls got a strong healing power." As she said it, she avoided numerous volleys of Power of Destruction energy.
"Yeah, she used to be the holy maiden of the church, a high up position, she was loved by many, and now she's been cast out." While replying, Zante saw Vali try and get up close with him to steal his power.
So he created a dome of energy around him, and fired it off in an intense beam of energy.
The Power of Destruction shattered the ground as it travelled at Vali in a fiercely destructive wave of power.
Zante saw Vali don her armour and tried to take the shot, using her [Divide!] a few times to try and weaken the power.
But it still pierced her armour, and pushed her across the ground, and into the sky, while Zante increased the output of his power, making sure that the power radiated a strong sufficient power that would cause many people problems, including that of the Hakuryuukou.
"I always do love it when we fight." Vali smirks, using her demonic energy to shatter Zante's power.
But her armour was destroyed fully, Zante's energy having washed over her.
It protected her for the most part, but she did have a few wounds on her.
Zante twirled his hand, creating a few spheres of Power of Destruction energy. "So with this girl, can I ask you for your, expertise in handling this situation? I have a few things here I've got to take care of."
Vali adopted a half smirk. "Do you think strong opponents would show?"
Zante looked amused. "Could be, she is a very coveted girl, you never know who would want to have that power for themselves. Including the likes of strong beings in need of a healing power."
Vali's smirk was growing on her face. "The endless possibilities, it could become a strong fight depending on who shows up. I'll go and see if anyone shows up."
"I'll have Ravel-chan go with you."
"I'll be fine on my own." Vali retorts.
"I have no doubt, but you know me, at least two on a mission like this. In case any complications arise."
Vali shrugged, while secretly happy to see that her King took things like this so seriously. "When you put it like that, fine I'll go with the Phenex girl, I don't mind her when she's not throwing her schedule at me."
Zante suppressed a snort. "I'm glad you'll work with Ravel-chan. She does admire you."
Vali paused, looking surprised. "Is that so?"
Zante nods. "Yeah, of course she does, she respects your power, and finds you an admirable Queen."
Vali was pleased to hear that. "Very well, then I'll go with the Phenex girl as we go about this mission."
Zante was glad to see that they'd be working together, and he couldn't deny that he wished to see what was going on with the nun.
After school that day with nothing of note happening, Zante, Koneko and Kuroka. Vali had gone on the quest Zante sent her on, together with Ravel.
Ingvild was still within her contract and would meet them back home later on, since she wished to do a few things before classes started.
His hands held both of the girls hands, Kuroka purses her lips. "Do you know who I miss nyaaa?"
Koneko raised a brow. "Hells Bitches?"
"Yeah~ They're so great nyaaa~" Kuroka grins. "Though, on a serious note, I do miss the Exorcist girls. You know, Irina, and Xenovia. Those two girls, we haven't seen them in a while."
Zante snickered. "We always do end up meeting again and again huh. Last I heard, they managed to slay a Stray Devil sometime ago."
Kuroka's interest was piqued. "No kidding. Those girls have grown stronger over the time, haven't they? Speaking of, Dohnaseek tried to get out last night. Poor Dohnaseek, he is showing his wildness, he knows that Azazel is gonna take him pretty soon, and when he does…well, I'd be shocked if he didn't do anything to punish him."
"…Haven't you been punishing him?" Koneko asked, bewildered.
Kuroka nods. "Because he's been a bad Fallen Angel, and didn't do the same as Hells Bitches."
Zante looked amused by her antics. "Speaking of, any news on the Fallen Angels?"
Kuroka raised a brow. "On who Zante-chan~?"
Zante looked into her eyes, bemusement filling both of their eyes. "You know who I mean~"
"Yeah, but its good to say their name. Trust me nyaaa~"
Zante shakes his head. "How are they anyway?"
"Doing nothing. I think they've been frightened into submission. Ingvild-chan's really rattled their cages. I think its best since it came from her, who can be a troublesome girl since she's a usually sweet girl to show that even she wasn't pleased, knowing they couldn't even appeal to girls like her."
Zante thought that made a good deal of sense. "As long as they don't cause issues for the humans. Though, its clear Dohnaseek went off on his own, I very much doubt that Raynare doesn't have something on her mind. She's always eager to try and please Azazel-san, and over the years, she's become more forward with her methods."
Koneko stroked her chin. "…You think she'd do something to harm Hyoudou-senpai?"
Zante hums in thought. "Before Dohnaseek, it could've been possible. She might be trying to find a new target to get her claws into." As he spoke, he received an update from Vali via a text. "I told you both about Asia Argento-san, didn't I?" They nod. "She apparently had a Devil following her, Vali-chan and Ravel-chan took care of them, Ravel-chan said they were a Stray Devil, poor girl being targeted by different people for something she can't control."
Kuroka raised a brow, but Koneko gave a knowing look.
Zante grins and the three continue on their journey together.
However, Kuroka stopped dead in her tracks, her eyes shifting from right to left, then turned around.
Koneko's eyebrows twitch.
Zante realizes they had sensed something, and he also did moments later. "Speaking of Stray Devils, some are close by. Right?"
"They moved pretty fast." Kuroka mused.
Koneko scowled. "Seems to be searching for prey."
Kuroka agreed, then her face turned downwards. "Geez, they're moving around erratically, like they're trying to find some kind of power, quickly. But its clear that they're staying away from us…huh, wait this feeling is…"
Zante raised an eyebrow. "What is it Kuroka-san?"
"Hmmm, it seems that they've stopped. They aren't near the Fallen Angels, no this feeling is something else. It looks like to me…shit, it seems they've noticed the perverted girl!"
Zante scowled, and burst away with the others following after him.
Meanwhile, Isane walked back home by herself that day, reflecting on her rather curious day, having spent time with Rias again, but found it odd that she kept mentioning the supernatural to her.
"I know the girl loves the supernatural, but she's really into it huh. I wonder if there's a little more to what she's saying…" Isane snickered at her own thoughts. "It couldn't be. As if anything supernatural would be happening around me. No fricken way, my life's too boring for something like that!"
Isane figured she would have another mundane night after the same usual stuff went on during the day.
When she turned a corner to go down a road, she felt a chill go down her spine.
Despite many people being around, she didn't have anything to really worry about.
But she got a nagging feeling inside of her chest that something was going on.
So she decided to head back home for the day, and quickened her pace, making sure she was able to move through the area as swiftly as possible.
"Huh…" Isane began to ponder, when she saw that the population had dwindled around her.
People where there before, but now, as she looked around the street, she couldn't see anyone or anything.
Isane wasn't aware that behind her, there was something coming towards her.
It was a beast like Stray Devil. Having a rather grotesque looking form, possessing spider like legs, the eight of them stabbed into the surface they would be going into, and looked towards Isane like she was the prey she had been hoping for, having wounds across its body.
"Tomorrow…swim club~ That means, Zante-kun is going to be in his swimsuit…ooh, please choose the smaller swimsuit, it really is the best one after all." The young woman continued on her journey as usual, not aware the spider like Devil was getting closer and closer.
Isane was just thinking of her own wild thoughts, and wanting for them to become true.
When she began to worry about what was going on, the spider Devil made its move.
It tried to snatch Isane off the ground by firing off its webbing, only to be shocked by the webbing vanishing before her very eyes. She couldn't see what had done it, she was confused, and looked around with that same confusion.
But then a cold shiver goes down the spider Devils spine, a hand laying on its shoulder.
"Sorry." Zante said, stepping out of the shadows. "This is where your journey ends, Stray Devil."
"No-"
The Stray Devil went to scream.
But Zante ran his power throughout its body, cutting off the scream, and it vanished into the air.
The Power of Destruction worked so fast, that the Devil didn't have a leg to stand on, watching as its body was obliterated into nothingness, even the consciousness of the Devil was killed off, and died without a single word escaping the spider Devils throat.
When it died, the worry Isane thought she felt, instantly vanished, and her heart calmed again once more. "Strange, wonder what that was?"
Isane shrugged, and went on about her day, trying to figure out what was going on.
Zante watched on, as Kuroka and Koneko joined him.
"Close call, Senpai." Koneko mused.
Zante nods. "Very close, almost as if the spider Devil was drawn to her."
Kuroka scowled. "Its Hells Bitches, isn't it? They made a deal with the Devil, so to speak, and sent this one after us! That's it, isn't it Zante-kun?!"
Zante pursed his lips. "But how would they have done it? We would've sensed if they did anything like a communications spell, or if they had moved, or sent one of their Exorcists. I don't know how they'd have accomplished it, if they did do anything."
Kuroka frowned, while Koneko furrowed her eyebrows. "If not them, who Senpai? Who would want to take her out?"
Zante rubs his chin in thought. "Now that, is a real mystery."
Kuroka looked on as Isane skipped down the road, wondering what was going on.
Later on, Zante sat in the large bath underneath the house. It looked more like a giant swimming pool but it was a heated bath for them to relax in. Zante was sat in it, together with Rias and Sona, both naked, as was he.
Sona felt her face lightly tingeing red at the sight of them being naked together, though she wasn't against it either and she did like it a good deal.
Rias moved her arms, and her chest bounced before Zante's eyes as he recounted the tale of what happened.
"So, it seems that someone else could be after her?" Sona posed, running a finger through her black locks.
Zante shrugs. "Best guess, it couldn't have been the Fallen Angels, we've been monitoring them since all this happened with Dohnaseek. In fact, we started when they came here, so I don't see how they'd have slipped by all of us."
Sona pinches the bridge of her nose. "Yes, it doesn't sound like we've made any errors, so it has to be some kind of outside force. But, I'm struggling to believe that an outside force, went straight for Hyoudou-san. She is hard to sense, even when you're up close. The Sacred Gear is sealed still inside of her."
Rias nods. "I didn't notice for a while and we went to the same school. So a Devil that just arrived, happened to sense her? I'm not buying it either." Rias turned her eyes to Zante. "Who could it be? An ally to the Fallen Angels? But why only send a Devil that was seemingly hurt, right?"
Zante goes into deep thought. "I'm struggling to come up with an answer as well. As far as I'm aware, the only person that could potentially be allies to the Fallen Angels, would be Kokabiel, so that's the avenue that we'll have to go down. I've already asked Vali-chan to speak with Azazel-san to see if he knows what Kokabiel has been doing for the past few days."
Rias runs a hand down her breast, letting out a small sigh. "I guess we'll have to tell her now. She needs to be aware that the supernatural are a thing. If people are targeting her, that could potentially be outside of the Fallen Angels."
Zante agreed, nodding his head a single time. "Yeah, better she be prepared, than suddenly ambushed in case stronger forces are at play. She'll know at least enough to run away from the dangerous situation."
Rias purses her lips, as Sona leans closer to Zante.
When she did, Rias saw Sona's arms wrap around one of his own and her smaller chest pushed against Zante's arm, something Rias narrowed her eyebrows at ever so slightly, then her lips curled in amusement, and begins wading through the water herself.
"Say that it isn't Kokabiel, and we are certain it isn't the Fallen Angels, then it appears to be a third party we don't have any information about, and that does give me pause."
"As it does me." Zante retorts.
Rias, getting his arms sandwiched between her breasts, looks to Sona, who does the same thing with a furrowing brow. "We have dealt with things before, we can only prepare, and make sure that we don't let them get the upper hand should they try anything. I'll also alert my peerage members."
Sona nods her head, her head falling onto Zante's shoulder, who glanced back at her with a raised eyebrow. "I am confident that we three together are making the best preparations. Speaking of Zante-kun, tonight is supposed to be my night."
Rias twitched an eyebrow. "Sona, don't tell me you're going to be with Zante tonight?"
"Yes, that is exactly what I am saying." Sona replied, showing nothing but her stoic face.
Rias's eyes ignited, even surprising Zante by how passionate she was being. "I see, so that's how you're going to play it. I understand Sona, I will also play my cards, and will see you tonight along with Zante."
Sona shakes her head. "No, we have all agreed rules, and I have deemed it necessary for me to occupy tonight. I, believe that it would be best if we stimulate one another, intellectually speaking of course."
Rias huffed. "Yeah, we all know what you mean by that Sona."
Sona turned her eyes back to Rias. "Yes, and you had your night last night. This is my night tonight."
Zante looked between them, seeing sparks dancing between their eyes.
He couldn't hide his astonishment, since he would do his best to spend time with both of them, and did his best to be the mediator between them as they had an intense stare off between them, which ended with them having their breasts pressed against one another, and Zante bearing witness to what was truly happening between them.
When class was over the next day, Zante went over to Isane, who couldn't help but show her lovable cheery grin on her face.
Her hands rubbed together, as she thought "Oooh, Zante-kun is coming right to me~" with so many ideas on what he could want running through her mind.
She tried to play it cool, leaning back, and showcased her biggest smile for her favourite Bishounen. "Well, hello Zante-kun. Is there something I can do for you?"
When she said it, Zante thought she was putting on a flirty tone.
So he decided to do the same thing to have a fun back and forth with her. "Yeah, you can do something for me, Isane-chan."
Isane's face begins to flush a bright red colour, her eyes looking directly into his own with excitement filling her orbs. "W-What is it?"
Zante winks at her cheerfully. "Could you follow me Isane-chan? Rias-chan wishes to have a conversation with you."
Isane blinked.
But then her eyes bulged. "Y-You, and Senpai?! W-With me?! My heart can't take it! Wait, yes it can! Lets do this Zante-kun! We can have so much fun together! Though Gremory-senpai has a bigger chest, I'll show you good times too! Say, you were in the shower last time…ooooh! We're going to shower together!?"
Zante snickered in amusement.
He didn't even mind she yelled that out, and could see so many eyes upon both of them. Envy from the guys for Zante and the same for the girls, directed at Isane.
Zante ran his finger under her chin, she practically purred at his touch. "You are adorable. Is that what you think it is?"
Isane nods, steam coming out of her ears. "What else would it be?"
Zante leaned closer, and his hand found hers.
Isane looked into his eyes, her face beginning to burn redder than it was beforehand. "Zante-kun…"
Zante loved to see her more calm slightly shy side.
He helped her to her feet, and his enchanting smile was drawing her towards him all the more. "Don't worry Isane-chan, it'll all become clear pretty soon."
Isane was drawn in by his smooth sounding voice, and followed with him. Girls looked at Isane with jealous eyes, not understanding how Isane of all people would pull the mind of who they called the prince, in Zante.
Isane looked on in victory, her eyes beginning to shine like suns at the very idea of being so close with Zante.
They walked all the way to the Occult club in the old school building. Isane's mind was filled with excitement, and she couldn't wait to see what was going on.
"Aah, so it really is Gremory-senpai. I thought that was a joke so we could go and…" Isane's lustful gaze fell onto Zante's hips, smacking her lips together. "…do anything that you'd like to do, Zante-kun~ I'm up for anything, and I hope you're up for anything~"
Getting her innuendo, Zante decided to have a little fun with her. "Trust me, I am."
Isane felt her cheeks flushing, and she felt hot between her breasts. "Ooh Zante-kun, you're making me feel so hot right now."
As she said it, she saw Rias sat on the couch.
Confusion came over her, when noting the serious atmosphere around her.
"Eeh, is there really something going on?"
Rias showed a pleasant smile. "Please don't worry about it, we'll explain in a minute."
Isane accepted that, and found it pretty intriguing to see what would be happening.
Rias cups her hands together. "Isane, do you remember when we were talking the other day about Devils and Angels, and things like that?"
Isane nods, not sure where this was going. "Yeah…?"
Rias wondered how she would approach this.
But didn't know how to start, so Zante thought he'd go for a simple route.
"Well, I'd like for you to know something. Regarding what happened the other day, with that man with the fedora you complimented."
Isane nods, shuddering. "That guy was a total creep. Not sure what the hell he wanted."
"We do." Zante spoke up.
Isane felt surprise ignite in her chest. "I'm sorry, you do? How do you know Zante-kun?"
"Because we've known for a while what they'd be interested in."
Isane was even more confused than she was beforehand. "So, what was he interested in? Don't tell me he's a creepy guy that's on like a stalker?"
"Well, you never know~" Zante said with amusement, Isane snickered. "No. Isane-chan. Can I ask you to believe in the impossible?"
"Ooh, I do already."
Rias raised her face. "You do?"
Isane nods. "Of course, I didn't believe that the hottest guy in school would ever speak with me, but I'd say we're friends. And even the most popular girl in school, who would want to speak with me. Its wild that's what has happened to me currently."
Zante adopted an understanding smile. "That isn't the impossible Isane-chan, you're very endearing."
Isane's face ran through several shades of red. "S-So, this impossible thing, what is it?"
"I think its better to show, rather than tell."
Zante raised his hand, and Isane watched.
In his palm, he summoned his Power of Destruction energy, shocking Isane. "W-What the?! Is that some kind of special effect or something?"
Isane guessed, but was shocked when Zante casually flung his hand left.
When he did, Isane saw the chair it hit, being completely broken down by the Power of Destruction, and vanishing into nothingness, she couldn't believe it with her eyes gazing at the sight before her.
"W-Whoa, that was…whoa!" Isane didn't know what to say.
Zante thought she might say that, so he looked to Rias, and nods her head. "Isane-chan, I know its a lot to take in. But what you saw is-"
"You're a sexy magical boy!" Isane yelled at the top of her lungs. "Yahoooo! You're a sexy magical boy! No way! I can't believe I was sat in class with a sexy magical boy!"
Zante loved that's the first thing her mind went to, and he couldn't say she was completely wrong. "Actually, you called me a seductive Devil, Isane-chan. That, was very accurate."
Isane coughed, while Rias looked on, gauging her reactions.
She could see that Isane was going through a number of emotions, trying to wrap her head around it all.
"Okay, so you're a seductive Devil."
"Born a Devil, the seductive part is optional~" Zante joked, using a flirty tone.
Isane was hugely receptive to the idea, and felt her body shivering at the feeling. "So, you're a Devil, and Gremory-senpai, is a Devil too?"
Rias nods. "Yes, that's right. The reason we told you, is because Dohnaseek was after you."
Isane cringed. "He wasn't ever my type."
Zante snorted. "Yeah, I can get that. Though you see, Dohnaseek is what we'd call a Fallen Angel, he was after something inside of you."
Isane looked down at herself, very confused. "Something's inside of me?"
"Yeah, its called a Sacred Gear. A special power gifted to humans such as yourself, or those with human blood. Basically, its a tool that humans can use for various effects. The powers of the Sacred Gear vary, and the one you've got, is a very special one."
Isane tried to think about what was going on, then raised an amused brow. "Zante-kun, are you trying to impress me right now? Saying I'm special? Because, I'm not special."
Zante adopted a disheartened look. "Why don't you think you're special?"
"Because I'm me, I'm just going about my life in the usual way. I'm not special Zante-kun."
Zante could hear the doubt within her voice, so he reached across, and laid his hand on top of her own.
Isane felt her heart quicken in her chest. "Trust me, Isane-chan. You are special and not just because of the Sacred Gear. You're a very interesting girl, with many great qualities."
Isane's lips curl upwards. "You really think that?"
"You know me, I don't say things I don't mean."
Isane let out a tiny laugh. "Yeah, you've never held back when you say things. So, I'm really special…okay, you've got to tell me what a Sacred Gear thingy is…wait, how come you're telling me now anyway? And that Dohnaseek guy, being a Fallen Angel. Ugggh, this is confusing!"
Zante could get the frustration, he'd probably be like that if he was in her position. "I'll begin explaining with Rias-chan."
Zante and Rias began explaining about Sacred Gears, and what happened with Dohnaseek, among other things.
They didn't go into Evil Pieces that day, not wanting to overwhelm her.
When they finished, Isane rubbed her temples. "Wow, so I have this Longinus thingy huh? How come I've never noticed?"
"Its like, dormant. Think of it being asleep, so since its like that, how would you know its ever there? So quiet, so silent, that its always with you, but you'll never notice it. But you have it for sure, and you've got a good one too."
Isane's mind was being so open to so many different concepts, she couldn't be more happy than she was right now. "This is so freaking cool. I never thought anything like this would be happening. And you had powers Zante-kun. Is that a Sacred Gear too?"
"No, that's my clan ability. I'll explain later on more about Devils and the likes. Suffice to say, its just the power I was born with."
Isane rubs her chin. "I'd love to see more powers in action."
Rias smiled cheerfully when she said that. "Well, the next time we have a hunt to deal with, I wouldn't mind bringing you along, or you could go with Zante-kun, whoever you wish to go with. Or maybe even both of us."
Isane was thrilled. "Yeah, both sounds good~"
Rias enchantingly smiles. "Great, then do you have any questions right now?"
"Erm…am I, safe?"
When she asked in uncertainty, due to what she had heard, Zante felt for her.
Zante thought it was a natural reaction, and so decided to relieve her of her worried heart, squeezing the hand still laying on top of her own. "Don't worry Isane-chan, I'll do my best to make sure that you're safe, or die trying."
Isane felt her face light up like a thousand suns.
So many thoughts ran through her mind.
It sounded like when someone confessed their feelings in a movie or a TV show, and Isane was so happy that he was saying it towards her.
She melted at his protective tones, and his squeezing of her hand overflowed her mind with new possibilities.
Soon enough, they wrapped up the session, and promised to explain more tomorrow, or when she was ready.
Isane was glad that she had two people taking time to walk her through this new situation, she knew if she had gotten all of it in one go it would've been way too much for her to think and comprehend about.
Now Isane was beginning to think of questions she wished to ask, though she was very happy to be spending more time together with Zante, that was always a treat for her personally.
After having a chance to set up a meeting, Zante and Ravel (with Ingvild replacing her for a short time and went with Vali) sat down within their home, and waited for Le Fay to come.
"She should be here soon." Ravel mused.
Zante chuckled lightly. "I can't wait to meet up with her and have a little chat with her. I've met her before, but that was more of the fan club side. So seeing more about Le Fay-san as a person, it is going to be rather interesting."
Ravel wholeheartedly agreed. "Yes, I have to admit she is always so polite, sweet, and very kind. I am happy to get to know her as well."
Zante grins. "Lets see what this little magician girl is going to do~"
Minutes later, there was a knock at the door, a very eager sounding knock by the sounds of it.
Zante got up, and went to the door.
He opened it, revealing a blonde haired girl, wearing a school girls uniform, and a flowery cape, and a magician like hat as well. She was rather cute, and Zante thought her blushing cheeks was rather adorable.
"Z-Zante-sama! Ooh my gosh, I'm actually here! With you! In your home! With you! Here, with you! Ooh, I've already said that~ Sorry, I'm acting so strange, its just, its you, Zante-sama! The boy I am a huge fan of, I'm really struggling to keep composure~" Le Fay gasps happily.
Zante winks at her. "Nice seeing you Le Fay-san. Glad that we can be together like this."
Le Fay looked into his eyes dreamingly. "No, the honours all mine. I can't believe that I got an invitation. I was just working on the next meeting of the Zante-sama fan club, when I received word from Ravel-sama."
Zante moved out of the doorway, and Le Fay comes inside with a giddiness that Zante found to be really endearing.
They walked over to the couch, Le Fay looked at Ravel, showing a big smile on her face, and having calmed down a little, though she was still so nervous deep within her heart.
"Hello Ravel-sama. Thank you for the invitation." Le Fay greeted them kindly.
"Not a problem." Ravel retorts keenly.
Le Fay sits opposite the pair of them, Zante sitting close by to Ravel, and peered out towards the others.
Le Fay looked on, Zante could see the nervousness within her eyes, and in her heart as well. "Can I just say that this is just an honour, to be asked to come to your home, Zante-sama. I have been following your career for many years. From the first time you appeared on television, to when you created your Devitube account, to many other things. When you fought a Goddess, and ooh, also the time when you made contact with that powerful Dragon-sama, its been a wild ride to follow your life."
Zante found her words super endearing, and couldn't help but be touched by her sweetness.
He leaned forward, making eye contact with the young girl. "Thank you, sounds like you're hyping me up so very well. I should have you beside me when I'm going to a press conference or something like that."
Le Fay's eyes filled with hearts. "O-Oh, you're making me blush~ I just say what I'm thinking, that's all. You're an inspiration to me, rising against injustice, and fighting to keep your family together, and so many things I could speak about. Shall I bring up some topics?"
Zante snickered, Ravel smiled. "Well, we can later if you like?"
"Ooh, it would be good for the fan club if I could gain a direct interview with you Zante-sama. I mean, another interview. Since you have interviewed for the club a few times beforehand, but we are always so happy to have more~"
Showing his kind smile to her, Zante looks her over, feeling the aura of magical energy radiating from her. "So, Le Fay-san, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Ask me anything~" She gleefully replied.
"So, you're a magician, from the House of Pendragon, correct?"
"I am."
"And you're related to Morgan Le Fay, aren't you?"
Le Fay nods swiftly. "Yes, that's correct."
Zante looked intrigued. "Ravel-chan was sharing with me about the magic's that you are capable of doing. I was very impressed. More than impressed, it was incredible to see how many you've mastered at your age."
Le Fay's face lit up like a Christmas tree. "M-Me…impressed with me…! Wow, that's such a huge honour Zante-sama!"
"Yeah, I was astounded to see the magic's you're capable of performing. From black and white, to even magic's such as Security System magic. You're a talented magician, and I was curious, about your current plans. You know, to do with your future. Like if you want to join a magicians group, or something akin to that."
Le Fay placed a hand to her flushing face. "I haven't really decided. I really just decided to follow my Onii-sama, when he left the family due to personal reasons. I wanted to make sure that he was okay too."
Ravel raised an eyebrow. "You have an Onii-sama? I didn't know that."
"Ooh, he is called Arthur Pendragon, wielder of Caliburn. Onii-sama wouldn't mind me saying, since he is also keen on having clashes with swordsmen, and also wishes to challenge Zante-sama. But, I forbade him from causing problems."
Zante snickered at her protectiveness. "I wouldn't mind meeting your Onii-sama. Trust me, I get many challenges per day, usually from my Queen." Ravel snorted at that. "So if your Onii-sama wishes to have a fight with me, then call him over sometime."
Le Fay looked as if she was in a dream right now.
Sparkles go around her eyes, which were transfixed upon Zante. "Yes, I will do. It wouldn't be an inconvenience to you?"
Zante shakes his head. "Not at all, I'd be more than happy to see your Onii-sama in action."
Le Fay seemed eager. "So, Ravel-sama invited me over, saying that you are, looking for peerage members, Zante-sama?"
"Yes, that's right. I just wish for people that fit our kind of group. People that would gel well together with us, and would be happy being with us, you know what I mean?"
Le Fay nods vigorously. "I understand, a group that harmonizes, is a group that can truly show the talents of all those involved. B-But, if I'm here to really talk about the peerage…d-does that mean, you've seen something in me?"
Zante lifts his lips upwards. "You are a very lovely girl, all of our previous interactions has told me so. I just wished to see if you've ever thought about being in a Devils peerage. It isn't a decision one makes lightly of course, and I'm not saying you have to decide now, or the offers gone, I'm just curious as to your thoughts."
Le Fay purses her lips. "It would have to be the right persons peerage, if I decided to join one honestly Zante-sama."
Zante agreed. "Yeah, compatibility is important."
"It is…and ooh my gosh, you've considered me! I'd like to take the time to thank you for such an honour!"
Every time she became hyper, Zante was enthralled with her.
She was such a genuinely sweet person, it caused his heart to want to burst with happiness by just being in her company.
"You're talented, crazy talented. I'd be a fool to not recognize that. Ravel-chan has told me a few more things about you that I didn't know about you. I know about some of the magic's, I wasn't aware you had such an array, I can't say I've met many people with such a different assortment of magical abilities."
Le Fay flushed ever so slightly. "Your praise makes me really happy. I just, did what I could do, and I studied hard. I've always wanted to learn magic, I used to be apart of Golden Dawn, the magicians group, and learned a good deal while there too."
Zante thought that made sense she would be apart of a group like that.
He knew of magicians rather well, as he had studied magic beforehand, to add to his repertoire as it were.
And knowing about magicians, he knew Golden Dawn was a very good group to be apart of, in terms of talented individuals.
"You said you followed your Onii-sama. I wont ask about personal details of course, but it must've been difficult to leave all you knew, to follow your Onii-sama into the unknown."
Le Fay develops a fond smile on her face. "Yes, it was daunting of course. But, Onii-sama was alone, and I couldn't let him be on his own. He left to protect someone else, I found it to be really noble, and I love Onii-sama so very much. I know you also have siblings Zante-sama, so I assume you would do anything for them, right?"
Zante didn't even have to think about it, he began nodding over and over again. "You're right, I'd do anything to make sure they're safe. My siblings are my only real family. Of course apart from the peerage members."
Le Fay swoons. "Can I ask you some questions, Zante-sama?"
"Sure, ask away. Anything you'd like." Zante was so warm, Le Fay loved it so much that he was always so warm with others.
Le Fay nods, and hums in thought. "Zante-sama, your peerage means the world to you, doesn't it?"
"I love all of my peerage members, they're as close to me as my siblings, and I'd do anything for them." Zante answered, no falsehoods in his voice, and heart.
Le Fay found those words to be really sweet. "So asking me to be apart of that, would mean its like I'd be on a similar level, right?"
"Yeah, that's right." Zante answered with his kindness on display.
Le Fay shivers side to side in delight. "Then, can we spend more time together, Zante-sama? I'd love to get a good feeling for the group."
"Sure, that sounds very reasonable Le Fay-san."
Le Fay was giddy and couldn't hide her excitement. "Then, this is going to be truly outstanding!"
Zante nods strongly. "You're right, I was about to say the same thing."
Le Fay shivers, she couldn't have planned this better if she had tried.
She was going to be becoming even closer with someone that she admired, and was going to learn so much more that she wished to know, and what was even more amazing to her, was the fact that Zante, wanted her.
Out of so many people in the world, he was impressed with her.
Knowing that made it all the more worth it in her eyes, since someone she admired also thought so very highly of her.
Her admiration for him wasn't only his power, but his love for his family, for his peerage, and how he always tried his best for innocent people, and stood up to people that caused others problems. It drew Le Fay in that he was different to how other Devils had operated, a reason why she was as big of a fan as she was.
"I can't wait to learn so much about you Zante-sama! When can I come?!"
"You can drop by anytime~" Zante said sweetly.
Le Fay was on cloud nine right now.
This was a dream come true for her.
She was going to learn about her favourite person that wasn't her family.
Zante also felt the same, believing that if Le Fay did ever decide to join, then he'd be on cloud nine himself, as he really did find her super endearing, very sweet, and someone he could see fitting right in with his group.
Now, they would take the chance to get to know one another, and spend as much time together as they could do.
