"Um... could you please let me go back?" Asia sat on the sofa, timidly looking at Rias in front of her, like a frightened squirrel. Her tone was full of pleading.
"Oh dear, that's not possible. A nun trespassing into our Gremory territory, if we let you walk out unharmed, we wouldn't be able to hold our heads up among devils," Akeno Himejima said, preparing a cup of green tea and handing it to Asia on the sofa, her eyes filled with a teasing glint.
Asia sensed the 'malice' emanating from Akeno. Her small hands, which were about to accept the teacup, froze mid-air as she looked at Akeno in fear.
Seeing the ominous twitching of the ponytail behind Akeno, Kiba Yuuto covered his eyes, unable to bear witnessing the impending misfortune Asia was about to face.
"Well... what are you planning to do, Miss Church Nun?" Akeno's face gradually darkened. Looking at the terrified Asia, she reached out her hand, gently caressing Asia's cheek as she spoke softly.
Asia forced a smile that was uglier than crying, slowly lifted the hem of her nun's habit, and bowed her head. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Everyone froze, except for Kiba Yuuto, who was covering his face and couldn't bear to watch.
The corner of Rias mouth twitched as she looked at Asia maintaining an apologetic posture, her gaze curious. "We accept your apology, but why are you making that pose?"
Asia lowered the hem of her skirt, tilted her head slightly, and looked at everyone with confusion. "Didn't Mr. Haru say that this is the way to apologize in this country?"
Haru turned his head and began whistling toward the window, as if there was some unmissable beautiful scenery outside.
Crunch!
Koneko Toujou, sitting on the sofa, pulled out a bag of potato chips from a plastic bag, tossed one into her mouth, and bit down sharply.
While maintaining her action of eating chips, she looked at Haru, who was pretending to be clueless, with a disdainful expression that grew more contemptuous over time.
Rias looked at Haru, who was feigning ignorance, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. She tried to speak several times but couldn't find the words, finally letting out a sigh.
Turning her head, Rias fixed her emerald gaze on Asia's anxious face and said softly, "Asia Argento, you should be in a situation where you've been expelled from the Church, correct?"
Asia's expression grew dim, and she lowered her head in silent acknowledgment.
"In that case, compared to the Fallen Angels, I think you might consider the devils' side. You should be aware of the ill intentions of the Fallen Angels, right?"
Rias looked sharply at Asia's gloomy face. Although she felt some sympathy, she needed the nun before her to face reality and come aboard her ship.
After all, based on the plan she had learned, if Asia fell into the hands of the Fallen Angels, this naive girl would undoubtedly die.
Those foolish Fallen Angels, don't they know that the compatibility between a Sacred Gear and its host is the highest? Seizing a Sacred Gear can never reach the realm of a Balance Breaker.
At this moment, Akeno suddenly closed her eyes and then snapped them open. "Enemies have broken into the barrier... Numbering three... five... a total of twenty people. It seems the Fallen Angels have discovered that Asia has been taken away."
"Heh, how foolish. Trespassing into my territory without permission, this is a declaration of war," Rias stood up, brushing her loose red hair, her eyes showing contempt.
"Well then, let's go out to meet them. It's okay to kill them directly," Rias slowly brought her index finger to her lips, speaking words of slaughter with a bright smile and cheerful tone.
When they reached the entrance of the old school building, they saw twenty Fallen Angels and exorcists standing in formation.
Among them were only three Fallen Angels, flapping their pitch-black wings as they flew in mid-air, looking down at Rias group with disdain.
Then, the leading female Fallen Angel, dressed extremely provocatively, gracefully flapped her black wings and floated down in front of the group. Hovering in the air, she looked down at Rias.
"Daughter of the Gremory clan, you have taken away the servant of us Fallen Angels without permission. Should I consider this as you devils declaring war on us?"
The female Fallen Angel looked arrogantly at Rias below, speaking in a contemptuous tone.
She then slightly turned her head, looking at Asia within the group, her face showing anger as she said coldly, "Nun, what do you mean by standing among devils? Hurry and come over here."
"Ah! Yes!" Asia looked up at the Fallen Angel in fear, lifting her fair leg to step forward, but Rias held her shoulder to stop her.
Rias gently shook her head at Asia with a soft expression, then turned to look coldly at the Fallen Angel above, speaking slowly.
"Raynare, the nun Asia has accepted the protection of us devils and is not your servant. Your premise is wrong. Also, trespassing into Gremory territory without permission, aren't you the one looking for a fight?"
Rebuffed by Rias, Raynare's face turned grim, her jaw clenched as she glared venomously at Rias below. After a moment, she spoke sarcastically.
"The nun first accepted the protection of us Fallen Angels. You've overstepped, Gremory. If you kneel and apologize, perhaps the noble Fallen Angels might forgive you."
Originally looking at Raynare with contempt, Rias beautiful face suddenly turned icy, speaking in an extremely haughty tone.
"Very well... Adding the crime of trespassing, killing you should leave the Fallen Angels without complaint."
"Haru... I'll leave this low-level Fallen Angel to you for practice," Rias turned slightly, speaking coldly to Haru, who had been keeping his head down.
Haru slowly lifted his head, his face filled with melancholy, muttering under his breath, "I actually got killed by someone like this..."
"Oh my, it's you! You're still alive? And you've become a devil? No way, you've become even more despicable," Raynare turned slightly, noticing Haru's figure, speaking in a surprised tone.
"Oh, that makes sense. It's only natural for a lowlife to become an even lower devil after death."
Raynare slightly turned her head to look at Rias, speaking arrogantly.
"You intend to have this low-level devil fight me? The difference in power is too great. If I'm a thousand, he's only a one. No matter what he does, he can't bridge such a gap. If you want to fight me, even you as his master aren't worthy."
At this moment, a youthful voice filled with madness rang out.
"Exactly, exactly! Hey, Miss Angel, let me, Freed, play with this little devil. I can't wait to taste devil's blood!"
