Three days later at the entrance of Zeno's underground base, Zeno and his girls could be seen gathering at the surface of the base's entrance. They are ready to go to the peace conference at Kuoh Academy as Zeno currently saying goodbye to Asia and Charmie.
"We probably return around midnight so you don't have to wait for us."
Zeno said before he gave Asia a kiss and a belly rub then he turned to Charmie who already waiting with her arms outstretched for a hug as she had an expected look on her face. Zeno smiled in amusement and hugged his diminutive maid as she asked him to.
"Hehehe~"
She giggles as she rubs her face on his hard abs until she is satisfied then looks up at him with her eyes closed and her lips puckering, begging him for a kiss. Zeno chuckled a bit before he complied with her demand and kissed her soft lips.
"Good girl. I trust you to take care of everything while we are away."
"Yes, Master~"
She nodded with a bright smile and a little blush on her cheeks.
"Please be careful everyone."
Asia said to the other girls as Zeno separated from Charmie. The other girls nodded to her with a smile as they and Zeno got in the white van. Zeno decided to use it for transportation from now on just purely because of how comfortable the van had become from his modification.
The van engine started and then the van drove away on a dirt road Zeno made when he first drove the van to his base while Asia and Charmie watched them disappearing into the forest.
By the way, Zeno is not overly concerned that the road that he made might expose his base since those from the supernatural side usually don't scan the random area for magical barriers or traces of magical energy, and for those mundane people, he is even more, has nothing to worry about. Zeno's underground base is well-hidden enough that if you don't carefully scan the area with Touki-based techniques then you will never locate it.
Inside the van, Zeno who was the one driving is looking in the rear-view mirror as he sees Leila, Noa, Ezrah, and Zestia in a new and proper bounty hunter uniform. They are now dressed in black latex catsuits with trench coats, visor sunglasses that cover the upper half of their faces, black tactical gloves, black combat boots, elbow pads, and knee pads. They now look more professional than before.
Well, to be honest, it doesn't actually matter much since it offers no protection in a supernatural fight but it is cooler than just wearing casual clothes don't you think?
While Zeno looking at them through the rearview mirror the girls also noticed that he was looking at them so they gave him a playful wink or a smile. There was not much left for them to say as Zeno had already told them about the plan for what they should do when the Khaos Brigade appeared. The plan is pretty simple, they will be responsible for taking care of the grunt magicians and he will take on Katerea when she and Azazel come out from the inside of the building like in canon. Conveniently, he has an excuse to intervene since he is a hired guard for the peace conference.
There is only one thing that he has to be careful with, which is the current white dragon emperor Vali Lucifer. In the canon, Vali attacked Azazel after the fight was over and revealed himself as an associate of the Khaos Brigade. In this timeline he might attack someone else so Zeno and his girls will have to remain alert for Vali's sneak attack after the fight is over.
If he targets Zeno or his group then the white dragon emperor will know firsthand what the power of friendship can do. He also already briefed his girls about the abilities of the Longinus Sacred Gears so they would not be taken by surprise if they fought someone who had it.

At the Kuoh Academy's gate before the evening, a white van approaches from the distance as Sona's Pawn Genshirou Saji who standing by the gate notices the van. He wonders if this is the bounty hunter Sona had him waiting for.
"Traveling by car... how unusual."
He muttered while rubbing his head as the van moved towards the gate and stopped five meters before him. The van windows are like a mirror, he can't see through inside the van.
When he was about to call the person inside the car, suddenly the door opened and a familiar man in a black bodysuit that covered his entire body with a navy blue coat stepped out of the car.
"O-Oh Zavior... san."
Genshirou greeted him timidly, the bounty hunter's imposing presence always making him nervous even if he knew he was not an enemy.
"You the guide Sona Sitri prepared for me?"
The deep and distorted voice of the man in front of Genshirou is unnerving as always.
"Yes, I was told to receive you by the president... are you alone?"
"No, I bringing some of my teammates with me, this conference is supposed to be a big deal so I brought more people."
Genshirou asked curiously as Zeno answered him while gesturing for the girls to come out of the van. The side door of the van opens up as five women in similar uniforms come out of the car with one of them dressed differently from the other and holding a large gun in her hand. Genshirou looks at them in awe as each of them gives off a strong vibe.
Zeno then nodded at the girls as they moved into the school grounds leaving White Dream who stayed behind with Zeno and Genshirou, the four girls will stand guard at the four directions of the school parameters and they will take care of the mob that will appear later on as planned.
Zeno then commanded White Dream mentally as she suddenly floated up in the air and flew to be behind him like a guardian without any movement visible from her face like a robot.
"Now then boy, tell me where can I park my car?"
Zeno asked as Genshirou snapped out of his daze.
"A-Ah! Yes, there is a parking lot in the school. Let me show you."
Then Zeno drove the van inside the school as Genshirou guided him to the parking lot which White Dream just flew in the air while she followed the car. Then Zeno parked the van in the free spot before he and White Dream followed Genshirou who seemed to currently lead them toward the student council room.

In the student council room, Sona could be seen talking with her big sister Serafall who was dressed in her work clothes and not the magical girl cosplay. The two of them are talking about silly things as Serafall's enthusiasm seems to wear down Sona's patience every second.
"Come on~ So-tan just try it~ you know you will be very cute in this magical girl costume~"
"Onee-sama..."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door drawing their attention as Sona sighed in relief and Serafall pouted with dissatisfaction that her time with Sona got interrupted.
"Come in."
Sona hurriedly called out as Genshirou opened the door and let Zeno and White Dream enter the room.
"Oh~ if it isn't the bounty hunter Zavior-san, how are you today? I'm Serafall Levia-than~!"
Seeing them, Serafall quickly changed her expression and greeted him with a smile as she stood up from the couch and walked over to him. This guy is actually quite useful as he can protect her little sister and also shows no interest in Sona more than just an employee to an employer. Zeno saw Serafall for the first time and nodded at her in acknowledgment without showing any reaction.
"Greetings to you as well Satan Leviathan, and I'm in my top form as usual."
He answered casually in his deep and distorted voice as Serafall giggled and slapped Zeno's arm lightly since she couldn't reach his shoulder.
"Oh, you're so reliable~"
Then she turned to the particular sight of White Dream who floated behind him with a blindfold, mechanic limbs, a large white gun, and emitting no presence whatsoever. If Serafall didn't see the floating woman with her own eyes then she definitely believes that nothing was there. She felt that this woman was quite mysterious.
"And who is this?"
She asked Zeno as she pointed at White Dream, she had no idea about this woman as she never showed up with him. Sona is also curious about the new woman Zeno brought with him today. She feels strangely complicated that he has a lot of women around him.
"Oh, this is White Dream, my relative. She's a very shy girl and has trouble communicating with people so don't be offended if she seems to be ignoring you."
Zeno introduces White Dream to Sona and Serafall as he pats her on the shoulder. White Dream remains still as a rock, not moving an inch or reacting to the introduction.
"Hmm, it's a pleasure to meet you, White Dream-san. I'm one of the governors of Kuoh, Sona Sitri."
Sona greeted her politely, but there was no reaction from White Dream causing Sona to feel awkward and a bit embarrassed.
"And I'm Serafall Levia-than~! The big sister of this lovely So-tan. Nice to meet you."
Serafall added, giggling a little at White Dream's stillness and her sister's embarrassing moment. Even hearing Serafall introduce herself White Dream still didn't react, it seemed that even her charm couldn't break through White Dream's silent shell.
"Well then, shall we begin the discussion about your placement?"
Sona quickly suggested as she motioned for Zeno to sit on the couch. Zeno chuckled which caused Sona to blush a little and took a seat while White Dream remained floating behind him.
"Of course, Sona Sitri. So where should I station at this conference?"
Zeno asked calmly as Sona and Serafall started to discuss his and his team's placement with him. He also informs them about his other girls who will station at the four corners of the school.
"Then I guess he can be at the top of the building?"
"Yes, that should be no problem."
Serafall and Sona reached an agreement as to where Zeno will be placed. Technically he is not from their faction or even in one of the three factions so it is inappropriate for him to be attending in the conference room where they discussing sensitive information.
"I will be on the top of the building then."
Zeno also agrees to the placement since it is convenient for him too as he also doesn't want to be in the conference room and listening to their boring talk.

In the large dimly lit room somewhere, a large group of people in a cloak was standing around as a bespectacled woman with tan skin, long brown hair tied into a bun with a headset, and blue-grey eyes was standing in front of them with a haughty expression.
The woman wore an extremely low-cut purple dress with high slits which exposed a large portion of her big breasts and legs. She also has a magic staff in her left hand.
The woman's name is Karerea Laviathan, one of the three leaders of the Old Satan faction and the descendant of the original Laviathan.
She is planning to intervene in the peace conference that is about to happen with the magicians that she gathered as cannon fodder. She is quite confident despite having to face the powerful representatives of the three factions who will be present at the conference.
She is, after all, has the Ophis snake that will boost her power significantly.
With her power boosted she will definitely break their peace agreement.
As she giggled to herself while in her delusion, one of the cloak magicians walked out from the crowd and bowed his head to her.
"Everyone has been presented, we are ready to go at any time, Lady Leviathan."
"Very good, let's wait for them to start their 'peace' conference before we make a move as I planned."
Katerea said with a smirk as she waved her hand dismissively to the magician who walking backward to the group of magicians.
They don't know that they will get more than what they bargaining for since multiple ultimate-class beings are in Kuoh Academy.
How unfortunate...
