Chapter 84: Khaos Countdown To Kokabiel (Part 2)? by Harem-Fan
Inside an abandoned mansion, that Ray would have recognized as the one that the Stray Devil Viser was fought in, is now being used by the Khaos Brigade.
At a corner of the main tea room, a group of important individuals are sitting around a coffee table, looking at a pair of swords that was left on their doorsteps not long ago.
The older ex-Bishop of the Church, Valper Galilei, was both excited and worried about the swords of Destruction and Mimic being here so easily. He searched the blades dozens of times, convinced they were tampered with, but... Nothing?!
No one noticed an invisible force probing Valper's coat and gear near the coat rack. Seems, an unseen creature is searching like a ghost.
In an armchair on the other side of the table, Diodora Astaroth, was being served his tea by his taller Bishop Servant. His shorter Bishop was currently rubbing his feet, and trying to not anger her master. He asked the Stray Priest standing behind Valper.
"Freed, are you serious? They just arrived with no one noticing, and with a note written by a child in crayon? I do not even know who this Harem King is? (Issei, cough) Is he a part of Ray Gremory's peerage? Is it that yellow headed Pawn, or that cross-dressing lumberjack?"
Kalawarna and Raynare, are also sipping tea listening in.
Freed who does not really care, only reads to the group of evil doers...
"I the great Devil Servant, Harem King, have been dissatisfied with Ray Gremory for turning those two Church Hotties into his Devil Concubines, so while Ray Gremory was blessing his two new Servants, in admitted jealousy, I stole the two womens weapons, and panties. But, to show my loyalty to you guys, I give you this small token. So just defeat that Harem Bastard, Ray Gremory, and good luck! Sincerely the great and totally well hung, Harem King!"
Phhht, hehe, cough! Everyone looked around to one another to see who laughed at the letter with a creepy snicker? No one paid attention to the foot imprints on the carpet behind them.
No one in the room had even noticed the water dispenser in the room had been tampered with. And the water in the bottle was not as clear as it should be.
Valper said in question.
"This letter is very strange... written in the devil alphabet, with a crayon, and it looks very sloppy, as if the writer was a child? Hmm? Does anyone elses tea taste off?"
Everyone else looked at the tea and also felt the taste was not right? Well they just overlooked it, and asked for more.
Raynare, who had recovered from her Sacred Gear going out of control, just said.
"Kokabiel contacted me this morning, and he said he will show at sunset, so we better ignore this and start to get ready. If we are not good to go then, he will be pissed. The Leaders meeting of secret talks of the three factions, in London, will start while our ritual will begin, to assure reinforcements will not arrive in time."
Diodora Astaroth, sips his new cup of tea, but it still tastes the same, but it must be the water? Well he asked.
"Where is Ray Gremory and his Servants? I still want to pay him back for killing my Servants?"
One of his Knights tells her Master...
"My King, none of Ray Gremory or Sona Sitri's peerages have been seen for two days now, but currently, it seems Ray Gremory is out on a date with his two new Knights."
Valper hearing this news is uneasy, but Diodora looks like he wants to cause trouble for Ray.
"Kate and Deana, I want you two to kill his Knights for me when they are in a secluded area, and if you fail, do not return. You are also both Knights, and without their swords, you should be able to do this."
Both former Holy Maidens shiver hearing they will become Stray Devils if they fail. This doesn't even account for killing both Knights under the nose of a Super Devil, right? They only respond with.
""Yes my King""
Then using their Knight speed, they left. Freed saw his playthings run just said to Diodora Astaroth.
"Aw, I am really disappointed that you are wasting good meat, hehe?"
The Devil-in-question says to his taller Bishop.
"Pour a new pot, this taste like literal piss?"
Issei, who had been live broadcasting with his smartphone this entire talk, decided it was time to beat feet, so he left.
When he was about a mile away, he took out the glowing gem-like crystal that Ray told him to find while he was there. Apparently, this belongs to his friend and Peerage pal, Kiba?!
Issei remembered asking Ray...
-
"Hey, Ray... Why are you going out of your way to help Kiba, when you hardly talk to him?"
Then Issei saw a twinkle of kindness in Ray's eyes as he said.
"You and Kiba are my wife's family, so in turn... Kiba and yourself are also my family. If you guys are stronger, so is my Sona, right? So go and find Kiba's important treasure."
-
Issei with a grin put the gem back, and said as he headed to school...
"I will never admit you are a cool guy... Harem Bastard~! And I am envious of that perfect harem you got, sigh... Tomoe is so strict."
-
In the ORC club-room, everyone but Ray, Irina, and Xenovia are there watching it on a big screen in real time.
Tomoe standing behind Sona, was tightly holding her paper-fan, with a look of waiting to beat her husband, she said to Sona.
"I think even writing Harem Bastard counts as a punishable offence, right?"
Sona, in a good mood tells her angry Knight.
"This one time, we will give him a pass. He was doing a mission for Ray, so he deserves this one reprieve. So everyone, it looks like sunset is our time to strike."
Grayfia, Kuroka, Kuisha, and others all nod.
-
At the main street shopping area...
I, Irina, and Xenovia had just finished watching the live-feed from Issei.
With me sitting in the middle of both Church Devil women, we are eating at Mcdonald's. Irina took one of her fries dipped in ketchup and put it to my lips, then said.
"Darling, say Ahhhhh~♪!"
Well, I am having a headache about this date. No it is not because of Irina's intimate, and admittedly cute actions. In fact, after my night with Lavinia, I am resigned and okay with loving Irina going forward.
Her feelings for me are deeper than I could ever have imagined, and when I brought her back from the dead, it was like she saw me differently. When I asked her why she felt different, she told me.
"I do not remember clearly, but I think I was given a choice, to not come back and go to Heaven, or go to hell to be happy with you?!"
So after that statement, I must make Irina happy, even if that is a friend, lover, or wife.
When I asked Grayfia about bringing the dead back, if it would change their personality, she said no. So Irina's change is with herself and not my reincarnation ritual.
No, the real pain that I need to take responsibility for is...
"Well, I am new at this, so eat this Ray... Say, Ahhhh~♪!"
And Xenovia, trying to copy Irina, shoved her ketchup covered french fry on my lips, making a mess. Her serious straight face makes this scene look comical. Outsiders would think Xenovia was upset at me or something, but she is just not good at expressing emotions.
So, why is Xenovia trying to make me happy out of nowhere? It was what she said after we first sat down to eat...
-
"Xenovia, when I offered to bring all 3 of you Church Girls out for lunch, you told Asia to keep an eye on Saji, saying we are going on a date? I thought you three are friends now, and in the same peerage?"
Xenovia with certainty told me a shocking truth I seem to have overlooked when I made her my Knight...
"Well, Asia is indeed our friend and peerage-member, but she is not your Harem Member like Irina and I. So without Saji coming, it would be like a third wheel tagging along on our date."
"Wait, wait, wait... When did you join my Harem, Xenovia?"
And when Xenovia said the next bit to me, Irina nodded her head to confirm...
"Floors 2 to 5 in your home are only accessible by your Harem, and you put me on the 5th floor next to Irina, your Harem member, I had found out the house rules. So Irina and I asked Mrs Gremory about if I was in your Devil Harem, and she smiled and told me I was. So, naturally, I am. Can I get a Big Mac Combo with Diet Coke?"
-
Yes, I by subconscious decision had not put Xenovia with Mil-tan, or at Saji's home with Asia, or even got her her own place... but by chance, I just put her on my Harem floor without thinking.
As I licked my ketchup smeared lips, after eating her fry. She then smiled a bit, and nodded her head waiting for praise, so I say.
"Thanks for that, Xenovia."
But then I saw her dark-yellow eyes look at my fries, and I think I know what she is thinking, so I picked up a fry and fed it to Xenovia, who in turn ate it with a flat emotionless expression.
Irina, seeing that, only opened her mouth with smiling eyes at me, waiting. So I feed her as well.
These two girls are very pure and kind.
Well, I looked at the real life Xenovia, and when she boldly told me she was in my Harem, I did not refute her, because if I am truly honest... I like Xenovia.
She is not very good at expressing if she does or does not like the idea, but I will let time solve the problem. I have a feeling Xenovia at some point will force our relationship, and at that time, I will just accept it wholeheartedly.
Xenovia, seeing me stare at her face, asks me.
"Ray, do I have something on my face?"
"No, I was just admiring your Knightly appearance. You have short hair like Shirone, so I thought your style was unique."
Xenovia then told me something I had not known in the anime...
"Actually, I had long hair before like Griselda Quarta who raised me, but once on a mission, I was almost killed when a foe grabbed my long hair. I was forced to cut it to survive. So ever since then, I keep it like this. Well I do color my hair for style. I am glad you like my look."
Irina flicked her twin tails and said to Xenovia.
"When Darling and I first met, he told me to keep my hair longer and wear dresses, fufu! So I will never cut it."
Crap, it seems I subconsciously told her that? It was so Issei would not think she was a boy. How did I know that move made her and Issei not get close as friends? That day really tied Irina and I together.
"Well, I was young and thought your twin tails suited you, so my honest praise came out. But it is really nice of you. Alright girls, we need to go and find a secluded place for your after lunch exercise."
I naturally was talking about the two Knights coming to fight my Knights, but I almost fell over when Xenovia said seriously.
"A secluded place for after lunch exercise? Well, I have no experience, so you will have to guide me in our intercourse. It is my first time, so Ray... be gentle."
Irina blushed, and looked delusional, so I say seriously.
"No not intercourse, sigh...(only because Kuisha said no, cough) A secluded place for your after lunch exercise, means the fight with the two Knights sent to kill you. I will let you two fight fellow Devil Knights, so I will observe from the side. Defeat them. Naturally if there is a problem I will jump in, but you need experience with your new Devil bodies. Let's go."
Irina stood up and with fire in her violet eyes, held up her small fist and said excitedly.
"Heaven! I as a Devil will purge those evil Devils. Becoming a Devil was a blessing in disguise! Amen~! Ouch~!"
Xenovia nodded to her words, but avoided the knife piercing brain pain that irina is now suffering for being an airhead.
I take both girls' hands, and take them to the Issei-fountain in the park, near my home...
