Chapter 22

Nearly a week had passed since the incident with the Greek Gods, and Zante was embroiled with many situations going on in Kuoh, ranging from the mundane, to the more spectacular ones.

Though right now, he was on a call with the Greek Gods, and when Zeus said the words "We will let you converse with Nyx." he couldn't hide his astonishment.

"If you could find out more information from her that we cannot, then it would be do both sides of our groups a world of good. She has been adamant that she can only speak with you, and that's the end of it."

Zante nods, wondering what he did to make Nyx have him be the one she would confide in. "Thank you, I'll do my best to get any and all information out of her, for both of our sides."

"Yes, that's why I agreed. It isn't in my plans to do this, but Nyx could have crucial information that could help us find if there is anyone else aiding her on our side. We haven't been able to draw any conclusions right now."

Zante had a few, and one of them was Hades.

Though even he didn't know how involved the God truly was, just enough to know that he was a danger in the future.

"I'll try my best, but she can be tricky to deal with. Don't expect anything from the get go, I'll have to see if I can have anything be brought out during our conversations."

"Do your best, as we need some information as well."

Zante nods his head and soon the conversation ends.

Zante lets out a small sigh, his fingers raking through his locks over and over while he pushes off of the bed he was sat on, his eyes shifting out of the window, and examined the sunny day that was going on outside, adopting a small smile, glad that he was able to finally find something that could help him out.


Later on, Zante found himself in a situation that he often found himself in, and that was fighting against Vali.

"Well, we might as well go serious from the beginning, if our opponents are going to be God class beings in the future." Wearing her Balance Breaker armour, Vali's power shined beautifully around her.

Particles of energy released from her body, and soared around her, swirling into her hand, to form a silvery demonic power.

"You're right about that Vali-chan. Lets show our powers to one another." Zante donned his own armour of destruction.

The brilliant purple and black radiant power obliterated all that it touched, his fingers flexing as he allowed his power to flow towards his fingers, and aimed a hand out towards his Queen.

"Are you ready?" Zante asked.

Vali nods, and flies at Zante at full speed.

Zante did the same, and their fists came together, filled with their respective powers.

A huge explosion rang out throughout the training room, the ground shattering and being erased out of existence while the two opposing clashing forces were showing their dazzling powers to one another.

"Fusing with Tiamat, it was an interesting power up. I watched it with the others, and could see the power radiating off of you." Vali complimented.

Zante pushed her fist back, opening up his palms, creating several thick large blades of destruction in the air.

"Thanks, Tiamat-san was a good help during that fight against the Goddess, and her dogs, and whatnot. Feeling her power flowing through me, gave me goosebumps in all honesty, and I can't get it out of my head how good it felt."

Vali smirked, taking to the sky, as Zante fired off his blades for her.

Vali noticed they had increased in speed since the last time they had trained together, so she picked it up a notch, dancing around as she saw Zante moving his fingers elegantly through the air, having the blades follow her down.

"A storm of Power of Destruction blades, its a very scary technique if I'm not careful." Vali complimented.

Vali adopted a light smirk, allowing her wings to grow behind her, and gives off a dazzling appearance, as Vali murmurs "Half them." activating [Half Dimension!] to cause the space around her to go down by half, including the blades of destruction.

But even then, Vali felt their deadly nature, aiming her hands out, and firing off numerous silver aura blasts, scattering them all around the area, clashing violently with Zante's own, detonating huge explosions that caused the entire training ground to be caught in the giant explosions.

Zante and Vali used their armours to protect themselves from the explosions, but the force of the explosions ripped apart the ground. The air around them vibrates incredibly, looking like the very sky was cracking under their powers.

When the explosions died down, Vali and Zante looked towards one another, showing small smirks.

"That was quite the explosive force." Zante praised with a grand smile. "Using your Longinus in such a way to half the size of my blades, and then I believe I heard some Divides during the explosions, not bad Vali-chan, not bad at all~"

Vali continued to smirk. "I'm glad that you haven't lost your touch. Speaking of, after this, I think it would be appropriate for us to have sex."

Vali was certainly forward, and Zante understood she wasn't ever going to sugar-coat anything. "Alright Vali-chan, we can do that."

Vali brought her fists together, allowing her energy to shine around her fists.

"Good, then show me your best showing of powers." Vali launches herself at Zante.

She zips through the sky like a bright brilliant white light that many wouldn't be able to follow so easily.

Zante's eyes kept locked onto her however, making sure that she didn't leave his sight for even a moment, knowing if he did lose track of her, then he'd have some trouble, knowing her incredible speed, enhanced by the Queen piece made her a speed demon.

When she got in close, he went to punch, when she flies straight up, and comes down behind him within a split second.

Zante manages to whirl around at the same time, clashing their powers together in a violent burst of power that could crumble even the scariest beings.

"Your speeds incredible Vali-chan, you're using your Queen piece very well."

"Heh, might as well use what I've got inside of me." Vali's words sounded a little sultry if he was honest, and he found it joyful.

Zante's hands slam forward, releasing a burst of Power of Destruction, sending Vali skating back through the air.

At the moment of impact however, Zante heard [Divide!] knowing she stole the power enough so she didn't feel the incredible powers.

Stopping mid-air, Vali flexes her body, allowing a bright silver aura to fire for Zante's body in the form of a sharp blast.

Zante crosses his arms, feeling the power smash into his Power of Destruction armour.

Though the armour tanked the shot, he could feel the incredible power behind such an attack.

As he went to fire a shot at Vali, she instead jetted off to the sky, her hands raised to the sky as if she was trying to grab the very sun itself.

Though, what her true intentions were came apparent, as she unleashed her incredible powers down onto Zante, firing off numerous shots of silvery demonic power, raining down like hail down onto the young man.

Zante knew some would be tanked by the armour, but he knew all of them together could be a problem, so he swirls his hand, allowing his Power of Destruction to form a twister like space in the air.

"Have a nice twist with your power!" Zante's power fired off into the air, and became a dangerous vortex of destruction.

Vali knew she didn't want to be in the middle of that, so she pushed her speed, and propelled herself away, despite the suction ability being able to drag her through the sky towards her, Zante was impressed to see Vali resisting the suction ability as well as she was, when it was something even Nyx found to be a scary situation.

Though she managed to fly off in the end, Vali noted that streams of Power of Destruction energy managed to scrape the armour of hers, and break it down to reveal some of her body underneath, showing the danger of such a technique.

Fixing the armour, Vali gazed at the young woman with a determined face. "Alright then, lets do this."

And like that, Vali and Zante continued their fight.


After their fight, both Zante and Vali deactivate their armours, panting hard, and looking to one another with mutual respect.

Vali wipes her brow of sweat, looking towards her King with intrigue. "That Le Fay girl came in handy during the fight with Nyx and her group."

Zante was surprised Vali suddenly said that. "Yeah, she came in quite the clutch. Good at keeping connections open, and being able to help out the barrier, the spell to transport, among other things she did, she's very talented."

Vali nods, folding her arms. "Thought about adding her to the peerage?"

Zante flashed a small smile. "Think she's peerage material, Vali-chan?"

"I do actually." Vali admitted, showing a strong expression on her face.

Seeing her seriousness, Zante folds his arms. "That's perfect, because I feel the same way. I have offered her, and she's thinking about it, I'll catch up with her in a few days and see how she's doing. I know right now she's preparing for the meeting of the fan club, and all that entails with that."

Vali nods in certainty. "She seems dedicated if nothing else. And I've heard she's able to keep the peace with the more, rowdy members of the group, including that Maou Angel combo that could be troublesome."

Zante snickered. "Speaking of, I've been asked to appear at the meeting today, after we finish up here."

Vali shows a strong smirk on her lips. "Sounds interesting, I might also join in."

"For the cup noodles?"

Vali didn't deny it. "I don't know where she gets them, but she finds rather tasty cup noodles, so its worth going just for that."

Zante let out a small laugh, endeared by her honesty, and couldn't wait to see what's going to happen with the meeting.


A small time later on, Zante was doing something that he did from time to time, a request from Le Fay herself, and that was to become apart of the fan club meeting.

"Okay everyone, today we have a very special guest, near and dear to my and everyone's hearts~ Welcome, Zante-sama!"

Zante felt awkward when she introduced him so grandiosely, but he had to admit that she was passionate, and he found it endearing.

He was brought in by a round of clapping for him, as his eyes scanned the people that were there. Including Isane who had officially joined, there was Rias, Akeno, Sona, Ravel, Vali who really came for the delicious cup noodles, Kuroka, Koneko, and Ingvild.

Along with them, Elmenhilde via video link appeared since she couldn't arrive in person, Serafall, Gabriel, and another recent member in the form of Asia, and a good few others he could make out having seen before. Some couldn't attend, but did send their regards such as Lavinia, and Suzaku among a few others.

When seeing powerful beings such as Gabriel and Serafall also clapping, it felt like an honour.

Le Fay felt pride rise within her chest, as she gazed at Zante with sparkling eyes.

"So Zante-sama, the scene is you facing down Nyx. You, call upon assistance from a very powerful Dragon. Then, a surprise twist appears when one of the sons of Fenrir also appears. In that moment, what was running through your mind?"

"Well-"

"I'll never see my beautiful magical girl again~ And Sona-chan too~ Love them both yay~!" Serafall giggled, trying to mimic Zante's voice with little success.

Sona looks towards the woman in bewilderment. "P-Please, not right now. I want to hear what had happened, and I am very sure Zante-kun wouldn't speak in such a cutesy way Onee-sama, please show restraint."

Serafall pursed her lips, as Gabriel graced her smile, with Asia staring at her in awe.

"Ooh I know! He was thinking about me, and our decision to have Devil Angel babies~"

Serafall flew into fury. "What are you even talking about?!"

Gabriel grimaced, while Elmenhilde via video link was eating this stuff up.

Isane cringed feeling the intensity between the two powerhouses, while Sona looked very embarrassed to say the least.

Akeno ran her fingers across her lips, as she giggled. "Ara ara, I know Zante-kun was thinking about the sex we had the previous night~ Isn't that right Zante-kun~?"

Zante went to speak, when Rias raised a hand to her breast. "No, Akeno. He was thinking about our next encounter."

"Erm…" Ingvild interjected. "Maybe he was thinking "Ooh crap, I'm fighting a Goddess?" or something like that. I know that's what I'd be thinking during that situation, you know?"

Zante chuckled, and tried to speak, when Kuroka meowed, as Vali took a mouthful of cup noodles. "Nyahahahaha! He was thinking of repopulating the good kittens he has on his group! Shirone and I are gonna be so delighted when things like that happen, you know~!?"

Koneko sighed while Le Fay purses her lips. "W-Well, why don't we hear from Zante-sama himself?"

Ravel agreed. "Yes, and though I suspect he was also thinking about our romantic evening, I wish to hear this as well."

Kuroka fired a look for Ravel, who did the same right back, sparks shooting off between their eyeballs.

Zante could feel the passion, and was glad for it, so he tried his best to do his best. "Well, I was actually thinking how I would fight the Goddess, and how my peerage members, and my girls were doing."

Isane swooned. "Ooh, I'm included in that!"

Serafall giggles. "Me too~"

"You weren't even there." Sona sighed.

Rias has a stare off with Akeno, going back to their previous conversation. "In the first place Akeno, aren't you my Queen?"

"I can't be affectionate with Zante-kun? Even if you say no, I will be. I can't lose that boy, he's wonderfully handsome." Akeno declares boldly.

"You can, but I am going to be treating him with special attention. And I also think he's wonderfully handsome, that's why he needs to be guarded from the more forward girls such as yourself." Rias said proudly.

"Ufufu, then you should be aware of the stuff we do together~ If you think we're forward, Zante-kun is so good with his hands, and his very special member~" Akeno said it with a sultry wink, firing off the synapses in Rias's brain.

Asia's eyes run between everyone, while Vali slurps down some noodles. "It would be interesting if we all fought one another."

Ravel looked at her bewildered. "Your advocating for a brawl?"

"To see who is strongest. Zante could be the prize. Yes, I think that is the best option right now. Between Rias and Akeno, that's a hard fight to see. Though certain factors could lead to either being the winner."

Zante slapped himself in the head, only to see Ingvild resting on the table before her, a peaceful smile on her face.

Le Fay runs her eyes back and forth, while Zante shows his effervescent smile.

"Maybe I should've appeared by video link ufufu~ Then Vali-chan wouldn't be pitting us against one another. Though if it is for Zante-kun, I'd fight too~" Akeno giggles while Rias stares at her curiously.

Elmenhilde erupts into laughter that distorts the image of her video link and freezes her image with her mouth wide open, Koneko snickering to herself and murmured "I can see her vamp teeth." while Kuroka rolled with laughter.

"Mouuu, Gabriel's trying to steal Zante-chan again..."

"Ooh no, we can share~"

Serafall stares off cutely towards Gabriel who does the same thing.

Though eventually, things did settle down, and Zante recounted the tale of what had happened regarding the situation with Nyx, and how she had been able to get stronger, and what he thought personally of the fight.


Afterwards, Le Fay showed an enchanting smile. "So now that the Goddess is dealt with. What's happening with the sons of Fenrir? Are they heading back to the Norse? Or have they not said anything about them yet?"

"I've had to contact Loki, and he's been indifferent with either getting them back or not. It seems for the time being, he's decided to think it over if he even wants them back. A shame really, considering they're nothing to scoff at. Even if weaker than their father, they're still pretty strong." Zante explained swiftly.

Vali smirks. "If he doesn't want them, I'll keep them as training partners."

Zante thought she'd say that, and he couldn't deny until Loki said otherwise, he didn't have any reason to deny it. "Sure, go for it."

Vali was thrilled to hear that, while Le Fay was enthralled with the young man.

But she snapped out of it, when she saw the others staring at her curiously.

"A-Anyway, now that you're here Zante-sama, we have so many questions. Is it okay if we take sometime to answer them?"

"I'll answer as many as I can~" Zante beams.

Le Fay sways side to side, her fingertips coming together fantastically, as the group begins laying questions upon him.

He didn't mind answering them, finding them to be quite fascinating if he was honest with himself.


Later on, Zante gathered his peerage members, now having the best time to tell them what had been happening with Nyx, and as he spoke, he could see that Ingvild was showing a less than enthused look to her.

So he did his best to relieve her worries, otherwise she would feel more worry. "Don't worry, Ingvild-chan. She is locked away. She wont be getting out. I'm just going to be going to visit her and see if there's anything that I can get out of her."

Ingvild shifts side to side. "I'm glad to hear that, do you think she will say anything though? If we give her an inch-"

"I know, she'll look for any opportunity to turn her situation around. I'm prepared for any tricks she might try and if she should try and lead me on a road of doubt. Nyx is a tricky woman, I can't deny that. But at the same time, I know that this is the best for us. Its better than anything else we've got."

Ravel mentally agreed, as she shared her thoughts. "In the coming future, God class opponents could become more likely, so any kind of heads up is better than nothing. We barely had time when it came to Nyx, its best if we can be more prepared if we know who or what we might be up against."

Vali folds her arms. "As long as I get to fight the God class, I'm fine."

Zante gives intrigued eyes, while Koneko gets up.

Most watch as she moves around the area, and sits down on Zante's lap, once getting around the desk.

"…Senpai, it'll be okay. Even in the most dangerous situations, you've always got our best interests at heart, and we wont back down either, we will get stronger for Senpai, and the peerage."

Zante was appreciative of her, and couldn't deny he felt enthralled by the desires the peerage had to become strong, noticing their eyes were burning with fierce fires of determination.

"Yeah nyaa. Plus, we always love getting rewards~" Kuroka giggles, his fingertips slicing down her breast in a seductive manner.

Ravel glanced at her, while Ingvild lets out a small yawn, her eyelids slowly falling until they closed.

Zante lightly smiled, seeing the peerage enjoying their time together.

After sending the peerage on their way to their requests, Zante sat in his office, catching up on some paperwork, but soon enough, the door opened, and revealed a tired looking Isane.

Isane had finally become a Devil, and was beginning to get the hang of things. Including the more boring side of the tasks, that she didn't really care to admit that she wasn't so fond of the idea.

"Aaaaah…" Isane yawned as she collapsed into Zante's office at school. Zante looked up from his desk, giving her a curious smile. "These jobs, do all Devils do this? Or is this Buchou's way of making me feel tired?"

"That's how it is, I'm afraid."

"Do you do them?" Isane curious asks.

Zante snickers. "I tend to get more difficult jobs since I'm a Pure Blooded Devil. But you'll get them too as you grow stronger and climb the ranks. Until then, take it as an opportunity to get out there, and meet some new people."

"I have a client that's a buff dude that loves magical girl stuff!" Isane exclaimed.

Zante curls his lips in amusement. "Sounds like someone Serafall-san would want to meet~"

Isane blinked. "Who?"

"The Maou Leviathan, Serafall-san."

Isane's jaw hit the floor. "Shiiiiiiiiiiiit! You're friends with the Maou Leviathan?!"

"Not only friends, a little more than that~" Zante winks at the brown haired girl. "You even saw her during the meeting of my fan club, she was the one that was dressed up as a magical girl. Crazy world, isn't it?"

Isane was overcome with a flush, fanning her face with her fingers. "D-Damn, that's crazy. I knew she was important, but I didn't know she was a Maou! Anything else I should know?"

"Erm…a few things, I guess."

Isane sweat dropped. "Like what?"

"I'll have to think about it, and get back to you. What you know and what you don't know, things like that."

Isane's face begins to shift through various looks, trying to work out what was going on.

But she then adopts a wide grin. "Aaah! I can't wait to see what other things I've gotta see! Buchou said that we're going on a hunt! Think I'm gonna be able to use my cool Longinus? I'm even able to summon it now, and boost a bit~"

Zante loved her endearing energy. "That's great Isane-chan. Only a week and you're already beginning to use your powers. I'm sure that with time and training, you'll become very strong."

Isane blushed, rubbing the back of her head. "Y-Yeah?"

"I believe you can do yeah." Zante's words brought warmth to the young girls heart. "I have seen your passion and tenacity to not give up, I think you'll handle this very well, Isane-chan. And if you need anything, don't hesitate, come and see me."

Isane gave a thankful smile, pushing her body up from the bed, and moved towards Zante.

She got before him, her eyes lingering on his lips, recalling how they had shared a kiss already.

It was a huge deal to Isane who had longed for such a thing for a long time, and now he was able to share such things.

Zante noticed her shuffling her feet, so he stood up, and looked into the young woman's eyes. Noticing the slight flush gracing her face, his fingers ran towards her chin, and lightly runs his fingers across the soft flesh, igniting a passionate feeling to spread within Isane's body.

"B-By the way, Zante-kun. W-When we d-do things, I'll make sure its really good!"

"We'll make it memorable." Zante placed his hand from her chin, and ran it down her velvety neck, the girl shuddering within his fingertips, and then melt into his eyes, feeling hotter between her breasts, while he allowed his lips to move towards hers.

Isane was taken by happiness, and she reveled in it, moving closer, pursing her lips, and moved towards Zante's own.

When their lips came together, and Isane felt like paradise was running through her veins.

She closed her eyes, reveling in the feelings of his lips on her own. The heat passed between them, his hands securely went around her, comfortingly, and held the young woman, soothing her heart as she came into his taller frame.

They shared a kiss for over a minute, and when they broke apart, Isane was left with labored breathing, her eyes mesmerized by the handsome face that she was met with, the gaze of adoration aimed right for her personally.

"Ooh, that's amazing~" Isane's head swam with so many thoughts and ideas. "You're good at that~"

Zante chuckled. "Thanks~"

Isane skipped forward, and took his arm. "Maybe you could walk me home~ I think you'd be bored sitting here all night~"

"Well, can't deny that~ Lets go~"

Zante decided to take the young girl out of the room, and right back to her home, walking under the starry night sky, enjoying the light of the moon glowing down onto them, the cool air brushing against their flesh.


Early the next morning, Asia was happily going about her morning, and noticed that she was the first person already awake. She had become accustomed to seeing Devils in her life now, and because of what was happening in her life, she felt good about herself right now.

As Asia fixed herself some breakfast, Zante came into the kitchen.

Catching the sight of the holy nun, Zante adopts a wide smile, moving closer towards her. "Good morning, Asia-chan~"

Asia jumped at his voice, turning to see his smile aimed at her.

She went with the flow, as her fingers ran down her outfit, the Kuoh's school uniform, and she gave a soft dazzling smile that could light up an entire room like a bright beautiful glow in the dark.

"Good morning Zante-san. Today's my first day, I'm so excited~!" Asia cheered, her eyes flashing her happiness.

Zante was thrilled for her, that she could continue doing whatever it was that she wished to do with her life now, and it seemed that the pain of being let go from the church was slowly fading away into something of a happiness that she could experience the world around her, and to be happy about that.

"Yeah, your first day. You look great in your new uniform~"

Asia giggles, her face flushing a good deal. "T-Thank you~"

"And don't worry, I've made sure you're going to be with me, and Isane-chan for your classes, so if you get lost, you can always ask us, okay?" Zante assured her.

Asia was filled with the brim with excitement. "Yes, leave it to me Zante-san! I can't wait to meet everyone~!"

"Ooh, I'm sure you'll meet some fun people. You've got a kind personality that allows you to meet and greet others very well."

Asia smiles brightly. "Also, Zante-san. May I ask you something?"

Zante nods at her. "Of course, what is it?"

Asia's fingers fidget together, trying to work out the best way to say her words. "Gabriel-sama and you seem to be pretty close. When you were both in the fan club meeting, I was able to see how she looks at you, and how you look at her. Its strange, since I have always been told Devils and Angels wont become friends, much less anything else."

Zante could understand her confused state.

He edges closer, looking at the young woman's gentle emerald eyes. "Yeah, Gabriel-san, and I are very close. I've known her for a good while, and she's given me some pretty fun times over the years~"

Asia was enchanted by his story, wondering more and more about their situations. "Amazing, I didn't know it was like that Zante-san. She also mentioned, b-babies! Y-You and Gabriel-sama would have babies!"

Zante snickered. "We've said things in jest, though as time has gone on, its become less jest, and more of a real thing. I really like Gabriel-san, she's a very beautiful kind gentle woman that I am lucky I got the chance to know as well as I have, even if it is because I am keeping the peace between Gabriel-san and Serafall-san."

Zante laughed as if it was a common thing.

Asia was just so amazed by what was going on, and she wished to know more and more about their dynamics.

However, before Asia could continue on, Ravel came into the room, and moved to Zante's side. "Zante-sama, I need to speak with you about an urgent matter, if you would?"

Zante nods, apologizing to Asia for the inconvenience, and excused himself along with Ravel.

They walked into the empty bedroom, facing one another. "So, what's the emergency, Ravel-chan?"

"Gabriel-sama has just called, and another Excalibur has been…liberated from the church."

"Another one. That makes, three now, doesn't it?"

Ravel nods. "Yes, those three blades have been stolen, and they're none the wiser on who it could be. At least we can say it isn't Raynare-sans group, since she's currently with Azazel-sama. But if it isn't them, who'd want to steal the Excalibur, and why?"

"Its a powerful blade, and if they've already snatched up three, its only a matter of time before they go for the other ones. And the last remaining ones, I believe are with old friends, and or enemies of ours."

Ravel gasped. "Xenovia-san and Irina-san, isn't that right?"

Zante nods a single time. "Yes, that's right, and another one as well. With the last seventh one not in the churches possession, which is a good thing since its the most powerful of ones."

Ravel's finger travels through her drill like curl. "So what are we going to do about it, Zante-sama? Can we do anything about it?"

"I'm gonna tell Gabriel-san to see if she would want to give them extra protection or what. Since we're not on their side, we can't actually do that. But, it doesn't mean we can't investigate ourselves. I'll also tell Rias-chan and Sona-chan about it. In case the Excalibur for some reason would end up in Kuoh."

Ravel blinks. "You think its possible?"

Zante shrugged. "Wouldn't be the first time a major incident between Devils and the Angels sides have crossed in the town of Kuoh. Remembering the incident with the Belial family, and the human Exorcist."

Ravel nods understandingly. "Yes, you're right. Plus, if someone is stealing Excalibur, it would make sense that the blades are aimed in our direction. Not just us specifically, but Devils in general. Though it could be at us. Depending on who stole it."

Ravel hums, folding her arms in a serious manner. "Seems like we've got a few things to worry about then. And your meeting with Nyx, you're going to be seeing her soon, correct?"

Zante nods. "I am, that's gonna be pretty fun, huh."

Ravel couldn't agree more, and couldn't wait to see what would come of it.


School passed on by pretty normally. When Asia was introduced to the class, all of the guys fawn over her, though that was soon replaced with jealousy when they turned to look at Zante, when Asia came over and spoke finely towards him.

And when it came towards the end of the day, Zante goes towards his office again.

But upon going inside, he was dumbfounded to see Kuroka beginning to sway side to side, and her eyes towards the window of the room, seemingly performing an erotic dance, while Vali and Rias watched with their eyes not leaving her form.

"If you move like this, then you're surely going to get a response from your lover nyaaa~" Kuroka rotates her hips, and her eyes lustfully run across the windows, with Vali and Rias intrigued.

"So, dancing erotically is also a good way to go about it." Rias mused.

Vali sighed. "Why are you showing me this? I don't have to do anything of the sort for us to have erotic nature between us."

Kuroka swirled her tails in the sky like a propeller, her slender hips wriggling around for Zante's viewing pleasure. "Never heard of seduction before?"

"I do know how to seduce Zante." Vali's words were causing Kuroka to wonder what was going on.

"Oh? You do know about that? Then how do you seduce Zante-chan?"

"I strip naked, and then get onto the bed. He follows, and we proceed to have sex."

Kuroka coughed, as Zante silently came into the room, Kuroka noticed, but said nothing while she was beginning to shake her hips side to side, a slow sensual dance that would drag in all those around her.

"Well, that's a way for sure, I can't deny that~ But, don't you want to know more techniques than that? Its why Rias-chan is also here nyaa. Because she knows how erotic Akeno-chan can be, you don't want to lose, do you nyaaa?"

Vali shrugged. "My connection to Zante runs deeper than anything like that."

Kuroka huffs. "Fine, but I know Rias-chan is enjoying it, right Rias-chan?"

Rias looks embarrassed, and begins nodding. "Yes, that's right."

"Then maybe you should perform for Zante-chan~"

Rias went to speak, when she noticed Kuroka and Vali looking to the corner of the room.

She looked, jumping out of her skin as she saw Zante waving his hand towards her, showing an enthusiastic smile.

"Hey Rias-chan, getting some fun lessons from Kuroka-san?"

Rias giggled nervously, she didn't know how to feel right now.

Palms sweating, her head felt hot, her heart was palpitating, and she ended up bowing her body.

"Y-Yes, I have a peerage to get back too! Good day everyone!"

Zante was left bewildered as the busty red head came shooting out of the room, and went down the corridor, embarrassment on her face.

Kuroka shrugged her shoulders. "I didn't get to finish my teaching, and when I found a good role for me to do as well nyaaa~ Aah, now I feel a little disheartened. But Rias-chan, I wont give up until you're amazing at seduction! Excuse me Zante-chan, I've gotta help Rias-chan!"

Seeing her pumped, Zante didn't stand in her way, and watched her launch herself out of the room.

Zante then glanced at Vali. "So, seduction techniques?"

Vali shrugged. "Is it something that is surprising? Though I only got so far as to see erotic dances can be an advantage. Though I prefer my way a little more." Vali stood up, and walked towards Zante, taking his hand and held it tightly.

Vali's lips push against his own, and runs her soft lips against his.

Vali pulled into his inner space, and held his hand even tighter, her fingers locking together with his own, showing the impressive nature of her desires manifesting.

"Should we go back to our bedroom? The others are busy, I made sure of it."

Zante was impressed to say the least, and followed after the young woman, and looked noticeably aroused, showing she was willing and ready to have some fun with Zante, a feeling that was mutually shared, and went to go and enjoy a pleasant time together with his Queen.


Eventually, Zante managed to catch up with Le Fay, after everything had been going on, and she was actually the first one to speak about something he had thought about asking for a little while now.

"Zante-sama, is the offer for me to join the peerage still on the table?"

Zante's lips curl up. "Always."

Le Fay's face tinges a few shades of red. "I'm glad to hear that. I actually also want to speak to you about someone important to me. My Onii-sama."

Zante nods slowly. "What do you wanna discuss regarding him? Has something happened to him?"

"Ooh, no. He's fine, don't need to worry about that."

Zante was thankful for that. "So if nothing has happened, what's going on?"

"My reasons for following him. He doesn't mind if I speak about this, as I already asked him. The reason why we aren't with our family, is because Onii-sama left the family, to protect a woman he was in love with."

"Forbidden love, was it?" Zante mused.

Le Fay dips her head notably. "Yeah, that's right."

"And what happened to his lover?" Zante questioned further, feeling there was more to this than she was saying right now.

Le Fay fiddled with her fingertips for a few moments, thoughts rampaging through her mind and easing her heart at the same time when she saw Zante's continued supportive smile was right on her.

"She's safe. She was my teacher in the art of magic actually. She's a servant for my house. The Pendragon family. Onii-sama and she fell for one another. But because of a few reasons, they couldn't be together, so Onii-sama left the family."

"To leave your family, for the woman you love…if it was me, it wouldn't even be a decision I'd need to think about, and I suspect your Onii-sama's the same."

Le Fay knew what he was saying, and she felt herself swaying with his words, enthralled by the enchanting smile that was being shown on his face, Le Fay knew in her heart that she was making the right moves for her life.

"He says for searching for strong opponents is why he left, and while that might factor into it. But I know he also left, to protect her. And I followed Onii-sama out of concern. I know he's stronger than I am, but I couldn't just let him go off on his own, to parts unknown, you know?"

Zante couldn't help but feel a little smile grace his face. "That must've been scary for you. But it was also brave, and sweet of you to do such things, those are some of the qualities that attracted me to you to join my peerage. Selfless, hard working, and have the best thoughts and actions you can take for those you care for."

Le Fay didn't expect to be complimented like she was, and she didn't know what to do with herself, her face shifting side to side.

"T-Thank you for the compliments Zante-sama. I only did what I thought was best for my Onii-sama at the time. And I still worry for him. I don't want Onii-sama to have to ever be on his own."

Zante understood the worries that laid within her heart. "You aren't alone, neither of you are. You have my group, and I know Rias-chan and Sona-chan would say the same thing. I know that we haven't known your Onii-sama as long as we have, but I can see he's a good guy, and he has immense care for you."

Le Fay's lips quivered, her eyes blink a few times, while she looked into his eyes. "Zante-sama…thank you. I know Onii-sama would say the same."

"It isn't a worry at all. So, to relieve your worries, is there anything that I can do? If I was able to have Arthur-san do jobs for me and the others?"

Le Fay blinks a few times. "Jobs?"

"Yeah, there's a number of things I could think of. One, I'm sure Vali-chan wouldn't mind having Caliburn wielder as a training partner."

Le Fay held back a snort, finding it to be pretty on point for Vali to say such things. "That's true."

"And he has a home in Kuoh, he could live here, or if he'd like another place, I'd renovate it for him so he's comfortable. Whatever it is that he wished to do. I've seen how your Onii-sama is, and he's a prideful swordsman, and I know he'd want to do this with helping us back, so I thought going the job way would be the best."

Now that Le Fay thought about it, she could see it making all the sense in the world to her as well.

She thought of her elder brother, and how he would be happy to work for someone that was high in the Devils society, and put his swordsmanship to good use, give him opponents that would be able to fight strongly against him such as Vali and others.

"T-That would be great Zante-sama! T-Thank you!"

Zante waved his hand to dispel her worries. "Please, its alright. So, do you think Arthur-san would be okay with it?"

"Yes, it would suit Onii-sama perfectly, he wouldn't mind you being a Devil, he's told me he respects you and your power. And I'd be able to make sure that he's safe and sound as well. Thank you, Zante-sama."

Zante showed his soft hearted smile, showing her that it was alright and she wouldn't have to worry.

He then leans closer. "Is there anything else, you'd want, Le Fay-san? I'm asking you a big thing to join my group, so I'd like to make sure that you've got some good things out of the arrangement as well."

Le Fay felt her heart being squeezed by his words and understood wholeheartedly by what was being said. "Thank you, but that was pretty much the only thing I wanted. A place for me, and Onii-sama to be able to call our home. And I think Onii-sama would be more than happy to call this place home."

Zante was thrilled by her words, as he felt her hand slide into his own.

He watched as she shook it up and down. "By the way Zante-sama, do you know why I decided to make a fan club about you?"

"Because you liked my work?" Zante wondered.

But Le Fay's answer surprised him. "Because I saw you on TV, who was trying to make differences, was getting results, was fighting for the people that didn't have the same starts in life that others might have had, for those that couldn't fight."

Le Fay shows a smile that lights up her entire face.

To Zante, it was a smile that he thought was one of the cutest ever.

She flutters her eyelashes as she continues on with her story.

"I became attracted to how you would do your best for anyone that needed you, that came to you for help, that might've been wronged. It was when I delved more into your history, that I heard about the Nekomata's, the situation with your family, and so many other things. And I was entranced by it all."

Zante was taken aback by her impassioned cry.

It was genuine, from her heart.

Le Fay took in a deep breath, collecting her thoughts and showed them towards Zante in a genuine and passionate way.

"So when I was asked to join your group, I felt like I couldn't say anything other than yes. Because I'd be able to do more too. To be able to help others, to go on many adventures, together with a group that's full of devotion to one another, as I saw when the situation with Nyx went down. I saw the lengths you fought Nyx to get back to the others, the others trust in you, and you in them, how they fought hard for you and for each other. It was amazing."

"Yeah, I couldn't ask for a better peerage, I love them." Zante spoke fondly, remembering all of the good times he had with his peerage, how they had grown strong, and grown as people as well, how strong their wills were.

"And that's the last reason I had, Zante-sama. Because you truly love your peerage. It isn't just romantic love, its a deep affection that really drew me in. How you all laugh together, how you all get along, even when you're playfully teasing one another, even when you're just having good banter. All of it, is amazing to me, and I wanna experience it all."

Zante showed his smile towards her, feeling a heat swelling in his chest, taken completely by her words, knowing she was the best choice for a peerage member, there was no room for error in his mind at all.

"Well, when I came to speak to you, I wasn't expecting that. But I'm glad to hear it, because I know you are very much what I look for in peerage members, and I'm glad that we have met Le Fay-san, so I can get to know you more and more."

Le Fay felt her heart beating in her chest rapidly, her emotions bubbling to the surface as happy tears soaked her eyes.

"If that place is still open, I'd love to join your peerage, Zante-sama."

Zante smiles, his hand and hers still together, pulling closer, and he gently embraced the young girl.

Le Fay never thought she'd ever get to experience anything like this in her life.

And now she was experiencing it all, and she loved it so very much.

She now could say from that day onwards, that she, was apart of Zante Bael's peerage.

And Zante knew soon, he'd have to go and speak with Nyx.


End chapter!

So, this chapter had a few things going on, with the Greek Gods relying on Zante to get some info from Nyx, and relieving the worries of his peerage, particularly Ingvild since she has a history with Nyx. Isane's now joined the peerage, and is getting some tips from Zante and the others as she tries to get stronger. Zante and Ravel discuss the more missing Excalibur's, Asia and Zante get closer as she starts school, and Le Fay finally joins the peerage!

So, thanks to everyone that voted on the poll. The winner of the poll is…

Son of Star and Stripe!

Now this was a really close one, only three votes separated this, and the runner up, and then the third and fourth were close for a good while too, had to count a few times to make sure I got the right one. If anyone's curious, the runner up was Vali team Oc, followed by Sekirei MBI Oc for third.

So, Star and Stripe's son is gonna be a fun story to do! Especially with the Quirk, how he'll use it initially, how he'll grow to use it in the future as the story goes on, his history and his relationship with his Mom and others, its gonna be so fun~

That story will be out next week, so keep a lookout for that, and I hope you all enjoy it.

Until next time, thanks for reading!
