Chapter 260 - Side Story 47: Gabriel Is Lost

After Riser got soundly defeated, Rias' peerage immediately blew up in deviltube. Wondering when did the Gremory heiress become an ultimate class devil that has the possible fighting capabilities of a Satan class.

"Rias, you're exposed now. You need to be more careful, the devil council will probably hound you. And Zekram Bael would focus more on you because he can't do anything to me." Sirzechs reminded his sister and she nodded.

"Hah, I know. I just had a lot of resentment and showed a bit too much to everyone." Rias shook her head. The rating games aren't really disseminated that much to the other factions. But everyone has their ways in order to get some more data on people.

Ein that was carrying Ophis like a plushie, who was eating cupcakes went up to her and gave a thumbs up. "Good improvement, see? That wasn't so hard! I'll have you know, I trained inside the middle of the sun when I was your age. Ahhh, good times." Ein got nostalgic and everybody cringed at his words.

"Ummm, master. I don't think sane people do that. Especially teenagers, you know what? Even I can't do that, the pressure inside the core of the sun will crush me." Kuku gave a wry smile and everybody nodded.

"For real? Then I'm just that special, isn't that right Ophis?" Ein patted the Loli dragon's head and she gave a nod with an impassive face.

"Un, you're the best." Ophis replied flatly, but she meant it. "Thanks, now go on and play with Kunou. The little fox gets lonely easily." Ein put her down and teleported her as she sunk to the ground. Ophis gave a thumbs up until she disappeared.

"Ohhhh, I guess she learned that when we were having a movie night." Musubi nodded in satisfaction as they thought she'd understand people more if she watches movies.

"Terminator huh, good choice." Ein patted Musubi's head and she giggled. "Obviously not, she's basically a Loli terminator dad. Her face is as flat as mama Fu Hua and Hua's chest." Alexis commented distastefully and she suddenly got an rko out of nowhere.

"I heard you've been talking shit about me." Hua gave her a smile and Alexis paled. "She made me say it!" Alexis tried bringing in more casualties, pointing at Bellatrix.

"I did not! You dirty liar!" Bellatrix and Alexis were about to throw hands. But Hua picked the latter on the ear and was about to make her watch paint dry. Without any lunch.

"You're gonna enjoy how white and black paint dries. And you're gonna be fasting for a bit." Hua grinned.

"Nooooo!" Alexis despaired and her sister snickered at her. "That's what you get for being a dirty little liar you glutton." Anahaat rolled her eyes.

"Dad! Please, I can't not eat! I'll die!" Alexis begged and looked at Ein for help. "You know, honey. There are some things you can only learn with experience. Certain actions have consequences. And calling two of your mothers flat is one of them." Ein shrugged and sent her to her doom.

Hua then dragged her in chains, disappearing from a crack in space. "Well, rest in peace Alexis. Dad will miss you." Ein prayed and took out a keyboard, one by one, her sisters pressed f.

"Anyways, Atalanta. You were the one who got ridiculed by Riser. Who do you want to perform the execution?" Morgan asked the cat girl and the servants stared at her.

"Uhhh, now that I think about it. Can't we just, I don't know. Imprison him or something? I'm not that bothered by it." Atalanta gave a wry smile and Scàthach squinted her eyes at her.

"You do not understand Atalanta. Slights against a person in power should never be taken lightly. If you let him go with that, then everyone will be stepping on you." Scàthach huffed and Ein gave a thumbs up.

"Yeah! I say we kill him!" Ein egged them on and the really proud ones like Morgan, Achilles, Mordred, Gilgamesh, Ishtar, and Semiramis agreed wholeheartedly.

"Uhhh, so how are you going to execute him anyways?" Atalanta sighed and gave up. Curious on how they're going to kill him anyways.

"How about we put a skewer in his ass and roast him like a pig?" Gilgamesh suggested, receiving some nods of approval.

"No, how about we flay him?" Morgan gave an idea and they began throwing ideas left and right while 3 of the Satans were around them. Making them deadpan at the group.

"Oooh! How about we fry him in molten metal? Make some deep fried turkey?" Bellatrix drooled, thinking of food.

"Hmmm, that's nice. How about turning him into hot pot? Slice him up into thin pieces bit by bit and feed himself with his own flesh?" Argento and Arcene thought of hotpot.

"Then let's vote! Go with the person you think would be best!" Ein put Gilgamesh, Morgan, and the Kaslana sisters aside so they could gather and vote.

"It's like they're deciding on what's for dinner. Not brutally executing someone." Sirzechs cringed and thought that Riser Phenex will not have a good ending.

"Well, it's Riser's fault for insulting Atalanta-chan. They weren't antagonistic either, Sona-chan told me what happened." Serafall shrugged, thinking that he wasn't the heir or anything anyways.

"He would've remained in high class for the rest of his life anyways. And his only worth would be for breeding more devils with their clan traits." Ajuka shrugged, cutting their losses instead of being driven out of the underworld is better.

The people started voting, with Argento and Arcene winning. "Yatta! So, who's the lucky person that will cut him up as he screams, that's the best part!" The twins asked, making even Serafall cringe at how bloodthirsty the cute girls were.

"I want to do it." Semiramis had a vicious smile on her face as she went fufufu. Thinking that he will last much longer with some of her new poisons she made.

Ardi went green at the thought and almost puked. "There there, that's normal here. Better get used to it." Alfia patted her on the back.

"Umu, listen to Alfia. Lives are the most important and worthless things in the world depending on the circumstances Ardi. You should learn that now." Ein smirked making the listeners shiver at what he insinuated.

Ein then looked at Grayfia, giving a nod at the maid. She bowed, teleporting Riser into Lilith. The underworld's new capital under the new Satans' regime.

Semiramis looked at Jeanne and licked her lips. "Alright, alright. You're lucky, Asia isn't here." Jeanne blessed the knives Semiramis took out and the queen dipped them in some black liquid that was loaded to the brim with poison and curses.

"You devils don't learn, do you? I sincerely hope that more of you do not as well. It will be more fun for us." Semiramis chuckled and teleported to the execution site.

The devils went quiet, cursing the arrogance of devilkind. Now, Ein's faction had a really bad impression of them. And they were not ones to take even the slightest of insults down without retaliation.

They were really generous and even amiable. But a tyrant is still a tyrant. Rightfully so, their faction is at the top of the food chain. It's a miracle for everyone there that they aren't exterminating any who oppose them in a drop of a hat.

"Hey, you. What's your name, kid?" Ein looked at Ravel and thought she would be good help for Yasaka. As she was the secretary of Issei's peerage in the original.

"Um. I- I'm Ravel Phenex, your excellency." Ravel was shaking in her boots, thinking she was next.

"Good name, and no bootlicking here. I don't like them, you're polite enough. Oi, Sirzechs, Beelzebub. I'm changing something, I also want this girl so Yasaka can have some more time to spend with Kunou. I think she's smart, she'll be a good addition to the Knick Knack Paddy Whack." Ein announced, leaving no room for any refutes.

Ravel paled, thinking she will be turned into a slave. But Artoria patted her head. "Don't worry, little one. Ein-sama is magnanimous. Just a bit crazy." Artoria looked at Ein and he pouted at her.

"Yeah, you'll probably have all the time in the world once you complete your work. And have some benefits too. Look at Rias' and Sona's peerage. Every single one of them is ultimate class right now in just their demonic energy." Mordred shrugged.

Ravel then sighed in relief, looking at Ein if that was true. "Yeah, who do you think I am? I'm just a really regular guy that's retired." Ein shrugged and gave her a milkshake.

"H-how about my brother..." Ravel sounded out, her tone defeated. "Ahhh, now that's not negotiable. He'll be a great example for devilkind to change their ways. Think of it like he's serving a higher purpose. That is to save numerous lives." Ein smiled and Ravel gulped.

Back at Kuoh, one clueless Gabriel was holding a map. Completely lost and not having any more money after being scammed. She was really sheltered.

"Ugh... I should have probably taken a couple of few angels with me... Now I'm lost, hungry, and clueless to where I'd start my search." Gabriel sat on a bench, patting her stomach that was growling.

"Hah, should I call brother Michael? No! I volunteered to complete this mission. And I went on my lonesome. Father will lead the way in this mission." Gabriel prayed, not wanting to give up just yet.

But when she stood up, her hunger and exhaustion while walking around all over the place got the better of her. She tripped and was about to fall, but a tall woman with short hair, wearing glasses caught her.

"My oh my, a lady such as you shouldn't be so clumsy." The woman gave a sensuous smile, her sex appeal basically oozing.

"Ahhh! Sorry, I was just a bit tired." Gabriel apologized and looked at her. 'Wow, this woman is huge.' Gabriel had to crane her neck just to look at her in the eye. She was 7 foot tall, and still wearing heels.

"Hmmm, little darling. I've got to look out for my fellow ladies. What seems to be troubling you?" The woman sat on the bench with her. Crossing her legs elegantly while smiling at Gabriel.

"Uhhh, you see. I was trying to find a certain someone. I lost all my money and I..." Gabriel blushed, making the woman giggle.

"No worries, go on and tell me." She whispered like the devil and gave a reassuring smile. Gabriel thought she was really nice.

"I don't know how to read directions." Gabriel sputtered out embarrassedly and hid her face. The woman saw that she had a map, chuckling at her airheadedness.

"So it seems, you are a pretty little thing too. I have no doubt that some unsavory personages will be delighted in taking advantage of you." She put a finger on Gabriel's breast, poking her large breasts.

Gabriel got startled and moved away a bit. The woman laughed, thinking she was quite fun to tease.

"You know what? I'll help you a bit, I'm quite famished as well. Let's have a little morsel and find the place you want to go to." The woman pulled her and crossed her arm with Gabriel's.

"Ahhh, I'm alright. Thank you very much! But... Can you please just tell me how to go to my destination?" Gabriel refused, but she still asked how to navigate with a mad blush on her face.

"Oh nonsense, it'll be my treat you little cupcake." The woman poked her nose and she strutted while pulling Gabriel. Going to a high end restaurant.

Meanwhile, one Issei Hyoudou was currently standing at a street where he could see the abandoned church atop a hill.

Squinting his eyes, he was talking with Ddraig. "Are you sure you don't want to take revenge on them? They basically killed you." Ddraig's dragon instinct was to annihilate them because they have wronged him.

"I won't, but that doesn't mean that I can't protect myself Ddraig. And lookey here, a suspicious guy looking like he was from a crime drama in the 80's is here." Issei turned around, seeing a man in a trench coat wearing a fedora.

"I see, Raynare has failed. It's pretty rare that an insect escapes. But it still happens, who helped you? The devils?" The man arrogantly scoffed and Issei smiled.

"No, you detective wannabe. But you're free to guess." Issei shrugged and the man squinted his eyes.

"Huh? Must have activated your sacred gear eh? Now you think you're hot shit, knowing you have some mediocre powers. Very well, I am Dohnaseek. And that's the last thing you'll remember as you die." Black wings appeared out of his back and a spear of light conjured in his hand.

He then threw it at Issei. "Look at this crow's shiny little stick Ddraig. You think I should just stand here and let him attack until he exhausts himself?" Issei raised a brow and Ddraig agreed.

"As if that filthy pigeon's light could pierce the scales of the red dragon emperor." Ddraig proudly huffed. They had a little contract and the dragon changed some things on his wielder.

Changing his heart into a dragon's and transforming his skin so it can change into scales for protection.

The spear of light crashed onto his chest and it shattered. "Wh-what!? That's impossible!" Dohnaseek was shocked and Issei just stared at him. "Did you do something?"

"Arrogant piece of shit! Die!" The fallen flapped his wings and was intent on skewering him with his own two hands. But once again, the spear of light shattered once it made contact with his skin.

"You know, I was pretty weak back then. But I changed, how about I show you?" Issei announced, making the fallen more wary.

But Issei took out a gun and shot it at him. "I cast Glock. You're not even worth it to waste energy on." Issei shot him on the chest and the fallen kneeled on the ground.

"B-but it shouldn't be effective on us!" He started to cough up blood. His mana going berserk as Issei blew on the barrel of his handgun.

"The Knick Knack Paddy Whack sends its regards." He pointed it at his head and shot him again.

"That gun is insane. That thing could be called a Longinus and no one would bat an eye once they know what it does." Ddraig was amazed, remembering its effects.

The gun that everybody has is basically an anti-everything weapon. It can pierce even Great Red and Ophis' scales. Disrupt mana, counter regeneration, divinity, magic, etc. It was unblockable.

"Yeah, I just wanted to look cool like in those movies." Issei took out a notepad and crossed off one row in the list.

"Act like a Mafia boss, done. Hehehe, master Ein's the best." Issei holstered his gun and tried a QuickDraw.

"Hah, he might be stronger and more mature. But he's still a teen." Ddraig sighed, thinking he will have the weirdest and strongest wielder ever.

"Kid, when you fight Albion's wielder. You can't use that okay?" Ddraig reminded him and Issei nodded. "This thing's cheating, don't worry. I won't, this is just for maximum disrespect." Issei nodded sagely and Ddraig agreed.

"Yeah, that thing is really disrespectful. It's an instrument of execution. Everyone you use that on will die like a dog that's being put down." Ddraig thought the fallen angel was a bit pitiful.

At another part of town, two cloaked individuals were having a little trouble as well. They were from the church and were tasked by the church to try and find Gabriel. Then they'll retrieve the holy swords stolen from them.

"I knew that you were an idiot Irina, but that painting isn't a painting of st. Peter. And you blew all of our money on it." A blue haired girl huffed at her companion. (pic)

"What heresy are you saying, Xenovia! You clearly don't know what you're talking about! Look at this holy relic, it is surely genuine!" Irina, a brunette in pigtails showed her the portrait. (pic)

"How do you know that's real? You didn't see him in person. And it looks off." Xenovia squinted her eyes at the painting that was clearly fake.

"Shut up! Don't question it anymore. This is a holy relic and that's final." Irina huffed, making Xenovia sigh helplessly at her friend's stupidity.

"Let's go to Kuoh academy. Gabriel-sama wanted to go there so she could talk with the devils that govern the area." Xenovia thought they lost their money already and arguing with Irina was pointless.

Meanwhile, the archangel in question was having a fancy lunch with her companion. "I must say, Japanese cuisine are quite marvelous. Simple and bold flavors that compliments the ingredients. What do you think?" The woman with her complimented the food and Gabrield didn't know what to say.

"Umm, it was delicious?" Gabriel had a clueless look on her face and her companion chuckled. "Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it." She then asked for the check.

Gabriel then remembered that she doesn't even know her name. "Ah! I don't even know your name. You were so kind to me. I'm Gabriel, can I know your name, please?"

"Ohhh, how silly of me to not introduce myself. Nice to meet you Gabriel, you could call me... Bayonetta." She gave a smile at her and a wink. (pic)
