Rias was annoyed, extremely so.
The two exorcist that suddenly walked into her territory where now casually sitting on the couch Infront of her.
"We appreciate your cooperation" Rias said as she put down her cup of tea.
"Now what would the servants of God desire to meet a devil" Rias went straight to the point.
If these people who were obviously wielding holy swords were walking around in her territory, problems would naturally follow.
"A few years ago, 2 of the Excalibur Fragments where stolen from the church, although nobody knows who did it to this day. But recently, the rest of the fragments besides two of them, where stolen by fallen angels recently" Xenovia explained.
"Stolen?!" Rias and her pierage exclaimed in surprise.
Reaching to her back, Xenovia showed the Excalibur Fragment she was bestowed "The ones that we have are Excalibur Destruction..."
"...and the holy sword of mimicry, Excalibur Mimic" Irina lifted her robe, showing the lace that was tied around her arm, obviously being Excalibur Mimic in disguise.
"So, what do you want from us?" Rias asked, confused as to what their role in all of this was.
"This particular problem is between us and the fallen Angels. We can't afford to deal with the devil's of this city" Xenovia commented.
Rias's lips twitched in anoyance hearing how blunt and disrespectful she was "you're awfully condescending. You tought we sided with the fallen angels to do something with the holy swords?" Rias asked, her eyes sharpened as she awaits for their answer.
"Devils despise hole swords. Your in the same position as the fallen angels" once again with bluntness, spoke Xenovia.
Every words that came out of her mouth created more tension in the room.
Issei nervously stood behind Rias as he felt the scary aura that was emanating from her.
*Knock knock knock*
The door suddenly had someone knocking from the other side.
"Who is it?" Rias asked, her voice still irritated because of Xenovia.
The door swung open, revealing Otto and
Asia.
Ever since Asia joined Shicksal, she also joined Kuoh academy per her request.
She was exited about experiencing school life just how Otto and the others did, something that she had never done in her life.
With open arms, Rias and Sona accepted Asia to the school.
They enjoyed her company so much infact that she sometimes comes to the occult research club to play videogames with Rias.
She's just that likeable.
"You-" Xenovia looked at Asia with disgust.
It's not like it was her first time seeing her. Infact she just saw her this morning when they were having breakfast back in Otto's house.
When they had accepted Otto's offer to stay at his place, both Xenovia and Irina tought that it would be some nice two storied house, just like any in the city.
But to their surprise it was a multiple storie mansion in the middle of a middle class neighborhood.
It stood out like a white line on a black paper.
When they entered his house they both were surprised to see how many people lived there, especially the witch that had been kicked out of the church for helping a devil.
Xenovia wanted to strike her were she stood but Otto stopped her, he was surprisingly strong, strong enough to block a full blown strike from her sword with juts two of his fingers. She didn't believe Irina when she told her that Otto was strong, but she did after that.
Otto proceded to explain that she was now under her protection, making things awkward since she wanted to take her out.
For now on, Xenovia looked past it since Otto has been so nice to them.
But now begs the question.
What is he doing here?
Of course he should know that this is devil territory, but why is he casually strolling Into the Satan's sister's room like it was a casual Tuesday.
"Eh? Otto" Irina exclaimed, equally surprised as Xenovia to see him casually strolling here.
"Yo!" Otto greeted the others in the room.
"You know them, Otto?" It wasn't she was surprised that Otto had connections, but to be so closely acquainted with the two holy sword wielding Exorcist that just came Into town, this had Otto's handprints all over it.
If she thought about it a bit, these thoughts that she was having were also part of his carefully laid out plan.
'Damnit, Otto, get out of my head!' Rias grumbled in anoyance, unaware that he was actually reading her mind right now.
Things also went to script, Otto's script that is.
"Oh? I'm friends with them" Otto pointed to Rias.
Friends?
With the devil's sister?!
Both Irina and Xenovia prayed to God that Otto wouldn't displace his kindness, especially since he's already letting that witch into his house.
"Ooh, you two want to stay for tea?" Otto offered.
"No it's fine, Otto. We have some stuff to do" Xenovia turned down his offer.
She stood up and turned to Rias "just don't stand in our way" she warned.
With that she left the room.
"See you at home, Otto~" Irina soon followed after, not before saying goodbye to Otto.
"Mind explaining?" Rias asked, curious as to what the relationship between them was.
"Mhm well they are just staying in my house for a few days until they find those holy swords of theirs" Otto explained with a smile.
Rias narrowed her eyes on Otto, not believing her friends bullshit.
With a defeated sigh she stood up.
"*Sigh~* just make sure they don't cause trouble" She asked him.
She was suspicious as to why he would let those two Into his house, but she trusted that he wouldn't do anything drastic.
"Got it, Chief!" He gave a mocking salute before leaving the room.
-3rd POV Change-
Walking out of Rias's room, Otto sighed in relief. Everything was going as it should, Irina didn't interact with Issei despite her obviously remembering him and finding out he became a devil. And Xenovia also didn't try and kill Asia again.
Hopefully she wouldn't do that again in the future since they will be working together.
"You we're right, Otto" suddenly spoke Kiba as he came out of Rias's room
Kiba knew already that Otto had three Excalibur shards that he had given two Kokabiel earlier, one still wielded by Arthur. Kokabiel himself had already stolen two of them.
But there was till two of them left which weren't stolen by the fallen from what he learned from Otto.
What confused him was that Otto needed and wanted all fragment, but he didn't go for them?
Otto just said that "they will come themselves".
And they did in the form of two hot chicks.
"Of course I was right, Isaiah" Otto said with a chuckle.
"So we're finally doing this?" Kiba sked, exited for what his words would be.
Otto turned around and manifested a crusader helmet on his hand, placing it on his head he raised his fist and spoke "We ride at dawn!"
That was all Kiba needed to hear.
-3rd POV Change-
"Hey, Kiba, this place is giving me the creeps" Issei commented as he looked at the abandoned building he led them to.
"So where are these, rogue exorcist you were talking about?" Rias asked Kiba.
The only reason she had agreed to Kibas request for all of the Occult Research Club team to come here was becuase it seems to be important to him.
She could only guess that it was related to the holy sword project since these supposed rogue exorcist were mentioned.
She also felt that they were trouble, thus she came with everyome to help out.
"Just a little further" Kiba said,his back turned to them as he scanned the building.
"Yahoo!!!!" Suddenly yelled freed who jumped at Kiba with his blade out of nowhere.
With his fast reflexes, Kiba immediately created a sword and blocked Freeds strike, pushing him back.
"How ya doing?!" He yelled, an eager expression on his face. He couldn't wait to cut up Kiba with his sword. Especially after the beating he had recieved from him along the nut kick.
Kiba didn't answer, instead he reappeared behind him with blinding speed.
'Shit!' Freed tought in a panicked manner. He immediately activated [Excalibur Rapidly] ability and swiftly dodged the sword strike that was aimed to his back.
"Woah hahahahh!!! You almost got me there" Freed laughed.
"Tch" Kiba wanted to end him quickly to deal with the guy he actually came for who was inside the building, but the Excalibur Fragments made things more difficult.
Not that he couldn't beat Freed who had the Excalibur, but it was hard to fight him and hold back at the same time.
He still needed to hide his strength due to Otto's orders, making thing harder for him.
He didn't want to bring Rias and the peerage to begin with but Otto said that they needed to come to, this why he brought them here for "backup".
Both freed and Kiba disappeared in a flash, clashing across the field.
"Oi, let's help him!" Issei shouted to the rest of his friends, he couldn't see them as they were going to fast for him to see, but he sure as hell wasn't going to let Kiba fight alone. They were friends after all.
"Issei, stop" Rias ordered, confusion Issei and the rest of her pierage.
"This is personal, let him handle it" Rias could feel Kiba's emotions to a certain level through the Evil Piece connection, she could feel the anger he was feeling, the need to cut down everyone and everything that stood in his way
'And it's not like he's having trouble either way' Rias tought as she looked at them fight, Issei might not be able to see them, but Rias could.
Kiba was obviously just testing the waters and gauging this Freed guy's strength.
'I guess hanging out with Otto comes with benefits' Rias chuckled to herself, usually she would be ignorant to these type of stuff. But after hanging with him, she became more aware of her surroundings.
It was as if she became less stupid, less thinking with her tits if you will.
