Chapter 199 - CH.197: Working Together.

( Yuuki's POV )

The girls' outfits caught my eye, that's definitely not something you'd expect a church follower to wear, Although I must admit I would have liked to see Asia wear something like that the first time I saw her.

Yuuki: Out of curiosity, are those official church outfits or is it a personal taste, either way, no judgment on my part.

Irina looked at her clothes with a confused expression, what an innocent creature she was, meanwhile her partner Xenovia understood what I said and she blushed a little.

Xenovia: Shut up, it's easier to move with these clothes!

Yuuki: I'm not going to deny that.

The girls took their weapons which were a large sword that Xenovia had wrapped in bandages, While Irina took a bracelet from her shoulder that she transformed into a katana, my maid Celia was close to us and gave us the signal to start.

Celia: Ready... Start!

When the battle started I launched two of my tails at full speed straight at the girls, They were able to dodge but I immediately slammed my tails into the ground, I massively increased their weight with my gravity control, The impact created a couple of craters in the ground and I was able to throw the two off balance, then I followed up with a wide arc sweep with another of my tails, Irina was able to jump over my attack and Xenovia used her great sword to defend herself.

Irina: I got you now!

Irina used her speed to shorten the distance between us, I used my tails to attack her but she used minimal movements to dodge and her combat suit ended up with big tears, Although she had dodged my first attacks I buried one of my tails for a surprise underground attack, The moment my tail came out of the ground and grabbed her foot, Irina changed the shape of her weapon into a whip and she aimed an attack at my head, an attack not very difficult to dodge but at that moment Xenovia entangled one of my tails with her great sword and pulled to tilt my body a little which made Irina's attack cut my cheek.

Decent teamwork but they had already lost, I pulled Irina to me and turned her around and then threw her against her partner Xenovia, then I covered them with my tails and pointed the sharp end of them at their necks.

Yuuki: You guys surprised me, I didn't think you could land a blow on me.

Celia: master, are you okay?

Yuuki: sure, it's just a small scratch.

Celia approached me with handkerchief in hand, and she carefully wiped the blood from my cheek, then fire covered my wound and it disappeared completely, After marking Ravel as my Sekirei my self-healing abilities increased considerably.

Tsukiumi: Yuuki what is happening here?

Ah, the girls finished their training just in time.

/////////////////

When our fight ended we moved to the dining room where I explained to everyone what had happened, There was some tension between the devils and the church members with them being natural enemies and all, At this time there was a fragile relationship between the three biblical factions and the leaders of all three sides were trying to create a stronger peace but that was not common knowledge so I told them everything I knew about the subject.

For an outsider like me, the idea of peace between these groups seems like a good thing but for them, who had been enemies for a long time this was a little harder to believe and process but it was something they had to accept because we had to work together.

When the serious conversation ended Irina went to talk to Issei because it turns out that they were childhood friends, big surprise but that was not important now, Leaving the others behind I took Asia to spend time around the city, but this wasn't just for fun she tried to hide it but meeting with church members affected her a little.

When we ended up sitting on a bench in a park I talked to Asia about it.

Yuuki: you know if any of this doesn't sit well with you, you can tell me.

Asia: Please don't worry about me, this is something important for your mission.

Yuuki: my family is more important, maybe I should put them on my goal list.

Asia: No, p-please don't do that!

Yuuki: hehe don't worry I'm half joking.

Asia: Please don't make that kind of joke.

Yuuki: so can you tell me what's wrong?

Asia: um The truth is, seeing those girls and the way they look at me reminded me of some bad times but I meant what I said before, You don't have to worry about me, I will always be grateful to the Lord for taking care of me when I had nothing and if I had not been expelled from the church I would never have met you Yuuki and all the others, I am very happy with my life right now.

Asia gave me an honest smile and at that moment I put my hands on her cheeks and gave her a deep kiss, At first she was surprised but she put her hands around my neck and she kissed me back, When we finished kissing she was blushing and lowering her head, it was so cute that she still got like that, even after all the things we've done.

Yuuki: I'm going to eat you tonight.

Asia: Y-Yuuki! What are you saying?

I gave Asia a smile and after that, we continued to enjoy the rest of our date, when the sun set we began our search for the Excalibur fragments, Tsukiumi accompanied the girls from the church while I went to Kuoh port alone.

There I saw a middle-aged man with blonde and brown hair, wearing a kimono fishing in the middle of the night, that was not common and of course, this was not a coincidence, I came here because I could feel a powerful presence, I approached casually and then the peculiar man greeted me in a similar way.

???: Hello there, this is a beautiful night, don't you think?

Yuuki: it certainly is, do you mind if I keep you company?

???: not at all, have a seat.
