A few days passed by and Serafall has been informing me of the things going on around the three Judeo Christian Factions, beginning with the fact that the devils were somewhat upset that Kuoh was attacked but since it's Serafall's territory they didn't particularly get too concerned about it.
Still Sirzechs was pretty angry of the fact that Kokabiel had targeted Rias and the same can be said about Serafall for Sona but after they found out what had happened to Azazel and the Grigori Headquarters they calmed down a bit.
The news that the fact that the Grigori main Headquarters in the Underworld was destroyed hit the Factions hard, not because they cared what had happened to the Fallen Angels but because someone was powerful enough to do something against the Grigori.
Who is known as a powerhouse faction, not only because of the many powerful members they house but because of the sheer size of the Faction, someone had made an attack on the Grigori and got away with it and that had everyone feeling nervous.
That and the fact that the White Pillar event still remained unsolved was beginning to affect the Factions, many were beginning to get scared and even paranoid that someone would come for them and the attack on the Grigori had made those emotions even worse.
The situation was made worse since Azazel wasn't saying anything about the attack and that just made everyone think that the Governor of the Grigori had finally pissed off the wrong person and was getting what he deserved.
That still however left the question as to who or what was powerful enough to do this to the Grigori, though Serafall knew since I told her when she informed me of what was going.
She just raised an eyebrow and then shrugged not caring what had happened to the Grigori and she even said that it was a good thing I did that since the Fallen Angels were now acting rather subdued and didn't even try to argue when she demanded monetary reparations for Kokabiel's attack.
Serafall had come out of that filthy rich, not that she wasn't already since we all go to the Instant Dungeons often enough and always come out with a lot of money.
She's going to use it for her show though and that's fine with me, after that she told me of the fact that the Church was utterly pissed off of the fact that the Excalibur Shards were destroyed and because Gabriel had thrown the Fallen Faction under the bus they were now also demanding reparations to the Grigori.
The Grigori were going to be hurting for a long while after this that's for sure but I really couldn't care less for them and even less for Azazel, in the show he might seem like a bro but he is a very manipulating and aloof guy and I warned him what would happen if he didn't controll his subordinates.
Still it was a good thing Gabriel decided to use the Grigori as a scapegoat and not mentioned my involvement, I know that eventually I'll have to reveal myself to the world and I've been considering doing it soon but until then I want to just be at peace with my loved ones.
Even now I had asked the Pokémon to keep a close eye on the city just in case something else shows up, even though I knew nothing else happens in Kuoh until the Peace talks, I still wanted to make sure I'm not caught by surprise.
I've changed quite a bit of things in canon now so who knows if the Peace Talks would even happen, Serafall hasn't said anything about it either so I'll have to wait and see what the changes bring especially now that Vali is definitely out for a long while.
Azazel stared in disbelieve at the heavily damaged body of Vali within a hospital room in one of the many safe houses of the Grigori in the Underworld, the Governor of the Grigori had lived for a very long time and had seen a lot in his lifetime.
But the damage done to Vali was something he had never seen before and it terrified him, the kid's soul looked like it was put inside a blender and Albion was in a coma.
If the White Emperor Dragon wasn't dead to begin with the he most certainly would have died a thousand deaths with the amount of damage his soul just went through.
Whatever had attacked Vali did it in a way that not only physically damaged him but had done so Conceptually as well and Azazel only knew of a few begins capable of that but those were Gods and there was no way that those same Deities had involved themselves with the events in Kuoh.
Just who did the kid pissed off for someone to do this to him? there was no doubt in his mind that Vali had mouthed off to someone and the end result was this "damn it kid... I told you that arrogant attitude of you was going to get you in trouble someday".
Azazel for the first time in a very long time didn't know what to do, Vali's physical wounds would heal in time, so will Albion and his Sacred Gear but the damage to his soul was something he had no idea how to fix.
Azazel got up and left the hospital room and headed to his temporary office, the destruction of the Grigori Headquarters was a big blow to the Fallen Faction one that will take some time to recover from and that's not even counting the Monetary reparations they had to make to the Church and Serafall.
The Grigori is severally hurting right now and he can't afford to be his usual lazy self, he had to make sure to push for the Peace Treaty otherwise it will soon be open season on Fallen Angels and that's something he didn't want.
So for the first time in a very long time Azazel will have to be serious and work hard to somehow fix this because this could very well spell the end of the Grigori and the Fallen Faction.
Vali and his condition will have to wait for a bit and even though this made Azazel feel bad he had no other choice for now.
In Heaven Michael sat in his office and looked directly into his sister's eyes, Gabriel on her part just sat there and smiled at her brother seemingly not bothered by the look her brother was giving her right now "Gabriel... this report is full of holes and filled with drawings of some very odd creatures... is there something you would like to tell me?".
Gabriel tilted her head and made a show of looking confused "I don't know what you're talking about Michael, my drawings are pretty good if I say so myself so I don't see what the problem is".
Michael eyebrow slightly twitched "... yes they're pretty good drawings but why did you add them to the report and what even are these creatures? I've never seen anything like them".
Michael lifted a drawing and showed that it was of Mimikyu flexing her pitch black claws in victory "oh that's Mimikyu! she a Dragonslayer~ and very cute to boot!".
Michael sighed and then tiredly rubbed his eyes "... I don't even know what to say about this... forget that for now, this report in itself is lacking a lot of details Gabriel mind explaining why?".
Gabriel put her pointer finger on her chin and looked rather confused but Michael knew his sister well enough to know that she was having way too much fun with all of this.
Meanwhile Gabriel just hummed "but that's all that happened, what else do you want me to say?".
Michael once again sighed "this report says that Kokabiel merged the Excalibur, tried to use them in a ritual that shattered them and destroyed the sword but did nothing and then! it says that the Cores were completely disintegrated and that's it".
Gabriel nodded "yes that's what I wrote I don't see a problem with it?".
Michael's eyebrow twitched again " and what about Excalibur Destruction and Mimic? how did Kokabiel even get them from Xenovia and Irina?".
Gabriel shrugged "maybe they dropped them? I don't know, I was too busy trying to make peace with Serafall after those too mouthed off in her presence, they even pulled out Destruction and were about to attack a friend of hers".
Michael groaned and covered his face with both hands, Gabriel felt a little guilty about not saying anything to her brother but she made a promise and she was going to keep it at all costs.
Michael then stopped groaning and sighed "alright I'll give you that one but you have to admit that this report doesn't make any sense... if you don't want to honestly answer my questions, then I'm going to have to send people to investigate in Kuoh Gabriel and you know they won't care about who lives ther-".
And it was here that Michael knew he made a mistake, the glare Gabriel just sent his way made him realized that his sister wasn't going to allow anyone to go disturbed Kouh and even though he was curious as to why he wasn't stupid enough enough to voice it out.
The Church might have forgotten how truly terrifying Gabriel used to be during the Great War but he hadn't, he still remembers how she would stand in the middle of the battle field surrounded by dead bodies and covered in blood.
But what he remembers the most were those terrifying and cold blue eyes that she used to have whenever she went into battle and those same eyes were staring back at him right now.
Gabriel stood up and then frowned at Michael "you will not disturb Kuoh Town, that town is devil territory and belongs to Serafall so you will leave it alone do I make myself clear Michael?".
Michael stared back at Gabriel in silence for a long minutes before sighing and nodding "fine have it your way... besides there's nothing we can do about it now, by the way Excalibur Blessing was taken from its hiding place... do you know anything about thats?".
Gabriel shrugged and turned around to leave "I don't know, I was in Kuoh remember?" even though it was true, Gabriel was still curious as to how Rean was able to get Blessing.
With that Gabriel left Michael's office leaving a frustrated Archangel staring at the report made by his sister more specifically to the drawings of the strange creatures "... just what are you hiding Gabriel?".
Today I was spending my lunch period at school with Yunyun since Rika had left with Koneko to do who knows what and Asia was helping a few of her friends with some math problems for the next period leaving me alone with Yunyun.
Since we found ourselfs alone in our usual spot we decided to just relax and enjoy our company so I laid my head on Yunyun's lap and just enjoyed her caressing my head, however Yunyun suddenly giggled.
Which made me curious enough to open one of my eyes and looked up at her in curiosity, Yunyun gave me a soft smile "sorry Rean, I was just thinking of how much things have changed for me".
I smiled at Yunyun "it's been pretty wild huh? definitely different from your world".
Yunyun nodded and continued to run her fingers through my deep purple hair "yes~ I still can't believe just how much everything has change for me!... I still remember how lonely I used to be and sometimes I even get afraid all of this is a dream".
I reached a hand over to her face and caress her cheek "it isn't a dream and you never have to feel lonely again Yunyun, you have a lot of friends in school now and you also have us and the Pokémon, I'm afraid you will never be alone again, sorry about that".
Yunyun giggled and shook her head in amusement "your such a dork sometimes but I love that about you and... I'm happy to never be alone again".
I nodded and then grin at her "you have changed a lot too Yunyun, your hardly the same girl I've met, I still remember how you scared me half to death when we first met".
Yunyun blushed making me grin at her, she then pouted at me "I already said I was sorry!".
I chuckled at how indignant she looked, back then Yunyun hardly had a presence and that caused her to basically become invisible to everyone, it was quite honestly pretty sad how she was ignored a lot because of this and her shy nature didn't help either "well you become quite more outspoken and confident as well, you've grown quite a lot but what makes me happy is that your still the same sweet and caring girl I went on adventures with".
Yunyun brightly smiled and nodded "it feels like all of that happened a long time ago right? a lot has change and our little family has grown but I'm truly happy with everyone~".
I nodded in agreement to Yunyun's words, I myself wouldn't change anything in my life right now since this is the happiest I've ever been.
Suddenly the bell rang letting us know that lunch was over, I sighed and sat up "man... I was comfortable but I guess we should go to class".
Yunyun smiled and then pushed me back down "or we can ditch class and just spent some time together".
I chuckled but nodded nonetheless "you know what? that actually sounds good, it's been a while since I've been able to relax and be lazy".
Yunyun nodded "we have been busy lately but it's been interesting too, Sirzechs came by the shop two days ago looking for you but since you were busy training the new Pokémon he left sulking and complaining about not been able to hang out with his bro".
I deadpanned upon hearing that Sirzechs a grown ass man and a Maou no less was sulking about not being able to hang out with me "just what has my life become?...".
Yunyun giggled a bit at my misfortune, which made me grin at her "well at least one of us is enjoying this".
Yunyun nodded "I think it's adorable how he follows you around like a puppy whenever he comes to the shop, definitely not what I expected from a Demonlord".
I sighed and nodded "that's just how most people with power are, especially the old ones... in fact all four Maous are super quirky or at least that's what Rias told me but I believe her, you've already met Sirzechs and you know how Serafall is".
Yunyun nodded but kept a very happy and bright smile on her face "but I think it's more fun for them to be like that, I rather they be their silly selfs than how one would expect a Demonlord to be".
"yeah... you make a good point, it would be quite troublesome if both Sirzechs and Serafall acted like real Demonlords, I can't imagine them being evil though...".
Yunyun hummed and thought about it for a while "that's true... I can't imagine Serafall being evil at all and Sirzechs is to silly to even imagine him try to conquer the world or something like that".
I nodded in agreement, I of course know that both of them acted like that because they never had a childhood to begin with, by the time they were young kids the Civil War had already started and that caused them to grow too fast, by the time they were teens they were already fighting in the conflict.
In all honesty they're probably trying to live their childhood somehow now and I don't blame them, they do deserve to act however they want after having had to experience the horrors that is War.
But right now it wasn't the time to think about all of this, not when I was spending timen with one of my girlfriends and so me and Yunyun stayed in our spot relaxing and spending time together until it was time to go home.
A few more days passed by and everything finally calm down for everyone, especially with the Judeo Christian Factions or more specifically with the Fallen Angel Faction who were still recovering from the destruction of their headquarters.
I had kept a close eye on them, these following days to make sure to act the moment they decide to something stupid, luckily for them they still didn't know what happened and the only who had seen Mewtwo wasn't saying anything.
Which at first confused me a bit but then I realized why he hasn't said anything, Azazel was too busy trying to push the Peace Treaty among the Judeo Christian Factions and taking care of Vali.
I don't blame him in prioritizing those two things though, as they were the Grigori were out in the open and one wrong move will turn the entire situation into a open season for Fallen Angels.
It's not secret that no one likes Fallen Angels with the way they act so arrogant against everyone and how they just do whatever they want without a care of the consequences.
So many Factions would gladly destroy them right now that they're weak and in the open but the only reason they don't is because Heaven and the Devil Faction would have to come to their aid out of principle alone.
But that could change at any moment which has lit a firecrackers under Azazel's ass and have him working hard on the Peace Treaty to have some security, this was also the reason he payed some much recompense to Serafall and Heaven.
He needs them to be in a good mood while he talks to Sirzechs and Michael, still I'm sure the idiot will eventually cause problems at some point but for now he's too distracted and that's good enough for me right now.
Still I haven't heard anything about the Peace Talks yet so I'm not even sure they will happen, Serafall hasn't said anything either nor Rias or Sona for that matter.
Parent's meeting day is soon approaching so perhaps I will hear something about the Peace talks that day, I've been busy with other stuff to really care though.
For one I have quite a few new Pokémon to train and spend time with, I've been having fun going to Instant Dungeons with them and watching them grow, especially Gible who was a very fierce fighter from the get go.
I also upon Wiene's request summoned a few Pokémon who specialize in healing to help her at the Pokémon Center, these Pokémon are a Happiny (Female), Audino (Female), a Comfey (Female) and two Indeedee (one Male and One Female).
This left me with 13 Common Pokemon Tokens but I didn't mind since this way Wiene can actually do her job as a Nurse Joy more easily, especially because I have a lot of Pokémon and sometime in the future there will be more.
So Wiene at some point is going to need a lot of help, right now she'll spend some time teaching the new Pokémon how to work with her and how everything works in the Pokémon Center so she's going to be a bit busy for a while.
Besides that there's nothing else going on but just the usual things that keep us busy, so this morning me, Yunyun and Asia went to pick up Rika to go to school as usual.
We found her standing outside on the sidewalk in front of my mom's and dad's house waiting for us with Koneko there with her for some reason, Rika smiled and wave at us the moment she saw us.
We all gave her smile, Rika had been a little clingy at school since what happened with the Hayashi so when she's not hanging out with Koneko she's usually around me all the time.
I don't mind though, I'm pretty sure she's still feeling guilty and angry with what happened with the Hayashi and just feels more comfortable with me around, I'm pretty sure she must be afraid that I would suddenly disappear.
In any case she's been around our house or at the shop more often and most of the time she spends time with Kunou and Wiene because she wants to be the cool favorite aunt, her words not mine.
Rika smiled as soon as we got close to her "good morning everyone".
Yunyun smiled and tiredly rubbed her eyes "morning~... ugh I'm so sleepy".
Yunyun is not a morning person sometimes, so she has a hard time in the morning but since we're stopping at the shop before we go to school she can get a coffee there and get fully awake.
Asia happily smiled at everyone "morning everyone~" Asia in contrast is a very morning person but that's because she was raised to be so though the fact that she had a still sleeping Sylveon on her shoulders was funny.
Everyone had a hard time getting up in the mornings and that includes the Pokémon but no matter how early Asia wakes up she's alright and we just don't understand how.
Anyways she is a ray of sunshine all the time and even still sleeping, a Pokémon or two would always go with her everywhere, it's the same with Yuki and Kunou and I think that's adorable.
I smiled at my sister and gave her a head pat "morning Rika, you seem to be in a good mood, something good happened?".
We all began to work while I also give Koneko a good morning headpat while Rika nodded "well I don't know about good but something exciting is happening in my class today~ were getting a new student soon!".
Koneko sighed and looked rather annoyed which made raised an eyebrow, but I ignore that for now and decided to keep talking with Rika "oh? a new student? isn't a little late in the semester for a transfer?".
Rika hummed and looked up at the sky "now that you mentioned... it sure seems rather odd".
Koneko sighed again and then spoke up "the new transfer student is a devil... which is why the timing seems odd...".
A devil? that's sort of surprising "that's weird... wouldn't Serafall be in formed about this, she hasn't mentioned it to me".
I turned my head towards Yunyun and Asia who shook their head letting me know that they haven't heard anything of this from Serafall, Koneko nodded "well lady Serafall hasn't gone home for a while... so her parents haven't been able to let her know...".
I raised an eyebrow "the Sitri are sending someone? is a new member of Sona's Peerage?".
Koneko shook her head "... it's not only the Sitri, it's also the Gremory and Phenex who sent her here...but she's not a member of any Peerage... as far as I know she's a free piece or something like that, I'm sure Rias Senpai will let you know more later today once everythingis finalized...".
That was interesting, just who did the Gremory, Phenex and Sitri are sending? we arrived at the shop and went inside to get some snacks and a coffee because damn do some of us needed it.
I might be a Dragon God but apparently I'm a very lazy one, according to Ophis all Dragons are lazy and enjoy a good nap so it's normal that I feel sleepy sometimes.
And speaking of Ophis, she has been helping at the shop more often now a days, apparently she has gotten used to not been alone and have one of us around her all the time enough that she now likes to work at the shop.
Plus she gets to eat pastries and sweets all the time while helping so it's all good, we have noticed some changes in Ophis lately, before she would pretty much keep a certain distance and just sleep or eat.
Now she would come up to you for attention or for you to feed her, kinda like a cat of sorts especially with me.
She would sometime sit on my lap or grab my hand and just silently stay like that, sometimes she would sneak into my bed and sleep under the covers regardlessof who is sleeping with me at the time which had lead to some very awkward moments.
The only explanation she would give about that is that it's very warm in my bed but either way the girls and I don't mind and actually think it's adorable that she's getting curious about being affectionate.
Like right now, she saw us all come in to the shop and immediately floated down to me and grabbed my hand while we ordered our coffees and snacks.
I turned my head towards Ophis and gave her a smile "good morning Ophis, having fun?".
Ophis looked up at me and nodded, I don't know how Wiz convinced her but she's wearing a maid uniform now and she looks rather cute in it, more than likely Wiz bribed her with snacks or something.
We don't take long to get our coffee and pastries and then left to continue going to school, It didn't take us long to get there since the shop is not that far from Kuoh Academy.
After going through the gates and saying goodmornings to our fellow classmates we all then went to our own classes, Rika and Koneko went to theirs while Yunyun, Asia and I went to ours.
Even this early in the morning we all saw Pokémon all over the campus and doing their own things, the students and teachers all stopped to give them a snack or headpat which made chuckle in amusement.
Serafall might officially own Kuoh town but the Pokémon were the true rulers here and the fact that they can walk all over the place like this is proof of that.
The rest of the day went by without anything exciting happening other than Sylveon beating the shit out the Perverted Duo for being their usual perverted selfs but other than that the day was a mellow one.
But at the end of the school day Akeno walked into my classroom causing pretty much everyone to go wild though for me this meant that Rias wanted to talk to me.
Something that was proven right because after looking around a bit Akeno saw me and then smiled "ah Rean, Rias would like to have a word with you before you go home".
I sighed and nodded, I got up from my desk and grabbed my things as I walked over to her with both Yunyun and Asia following me a few seconds later.
I walked up to Akeno and nodded at her "alright but let's make it quick, I do have somethings to do later on".
Akeno nodded and then walked out of the room with me Yunyun and Asia following her to the ORC building, it didn't take us long to reach the building and we eventually reached Rias's office.
We went inside and Rias smiled at us the moment we stopped inside her office, Yunyun and Asia waved at her and walked to the couch where they took a seat besides Koneko who was sitting on the couch and pouting for some reason.
More than likely she wanted to go to the Shop with Rika but because she had to be here she had to miss getting her snacks, still I walked up to Rias's desk and sighed "hey Rias, why do you need?".
Rias sheepishly laughed "sorry to called you out of the blue like that but I needed to inform you of something, I know your not a fan of us calling you out like this".
I nodded and smiled at her "it's okay, as a matter of fact I really should've have given you my phone number for situations like this, in fact let me give it to you now".
Rias smiled and we both quickly exchanged phone numbers, I then sat on a chair in front of Rias's desk so Rias could tell me what she called me for "okay so you know how my family, Sona's and the Phenex are protecting you from the Devil Faction?".
I raised an eyebrow and nodded "yeah, Serafall confirmed that they're hiding the fact of what happened between me and Sirzechs, that way I'll be left alone and I don't have a reason to kill the entire Devil race".
Rias sweatdropped at my casual way of speaking about committing genocide "y-yeah... anyways when I went to go pick up Kiba, Mom and lady Phenex told me about something you should know".
"Oh? something I should know? is it about the transfer student that will be coming to Rika's and Koneko's class?".
Rias raised an eyebrow and nodded "actually yes but how did you know?".
I shrugged "Rika mentioned it to me in the morning and Koneko explained the situation though she did say that you would give more details later".
Rias smiled and then proceeded to explain "I see, well Koneko is right, the youngest child of lady and lord Phenex has been keeping an eye on you for quite sometime and she's been very interested in you".
I narrowed my eyes in both surprise and concern "since when?".
Rias tensed up feeling the change in in my mood and quickly began to explain "ah! please calm down Rean, she didn't mean any harm and she's been aware of you for a while, she's also refused to speak with details about you so don't worry about her I can attest that she's on your side!".
I stared into Rias's eyes for a while until I sighed and shook my head, in the end it doesn't matter "fine, so why exactly are you telling me all of this?".
Rias sighed in relief when she saw me relax and then explained "well the girl is named Ravel Phenex and she's transferring into this school after the Parent Meeting day, the Gremory, Sitri and Phenex hope for her to be the link of communication between you and them".
I nodded in understanding and leaned back in my seat, Ravel Phenex is a nice and kind girl if what I saw in the anime is still true, a little bit of a Tsundere but I don't mind that plus I know she's very business savvy so she could be great help.
But I was still quite curious as to why she would even agree to do any of this, why would she even want go work as a link between me and the Gremory, Sitri and Phenex "why is she doing this? why are these Devils clans willing to go this far?".
Rias smiled "well Ravel has become your fan of sorts and has been wanting to meet you for a while now so she jumped at the chance to be able to work with you in some way, its very adorable really".
Rias giggled and then continued "and the reason for the Gremory, Sitri and Phenex Devil clans to help you, in any way is actually their way of preventing giving you any reason to destroy the Devil Faction, the Sitri because your their future son in law, my mom and dad because you defeated Sirzechs quite easily and that's cause for concern, I'm not sure about the Phenex but I think their trying to help Ravel get what she wants".
"Alright... at least they're being very honest with their intentions but what exactly do they expect me to do about all of this? as you know I'm pretty busy most of the time and I don't want anything to do with the Devil Faction".
Rias nodded "I think they just want to make sure you have a way to contact them so they can help you with anything you might need, I don't know how they'll help you but they're there to give you a hand with whatever you need".
I scratched my head and the shrugged "okay, not sure if I'll ever need help but it's good to know that I'll have if I need it, I'll let Serafall know about this as well since I'm pretty sure no one has told her about Ravel, otherwise she would have told me".
Rias nodded, I then looked around "you said that you got Kiba back, where is he?".
Rias sighed and shook her head "he's in his apartment... he didn't take it well that he didn't get to destroy the Excalibur Shards nor that Valper was here and he wasn't the one to kill him".
I shook my head "so he's acting like a spoiled kid who didn't get to have a piece of the cake, he's already a teen so he should really start to act like it".
Rias nodded "yeah... I been very lenient with him and mother actually let me have it when the attack from Kokabiel was over, she let me know that I really haven't been doing anything to help my Peerage though in my defense I was far more worried about my wedding with Riser... it's not an excuse but that's the reason I have".
I nodded in understanding Sirzechs had told me that Rias had been a bundle of nerves and stress since she had been told that she was to be wed to Riser so I can somehow understand, at least she accepts the fact that she made a mistake "so are you going to do anything about his attitude? I'm letting you know now, he starts with me in anyway and I won't think twice about killing him".
Rias nodded "he might be unhinged right now Rean but he's not stupid, he knows he can't do anything to you and even though he's angry he knows you have nothing to do with his revenge so he won't bother you and I'm having him go to therapy to get the help he needs in fact, Akeno and Koneko are going to therapy as well".
I turned my gaze towards Koneko, she nodded at me letting me know that it was indeed true and that makes me glad, I didn't care much about Akeno and her issues but Koneko has become a friend so I'm happy she's getting the help she needs.
After this I decided to take everyone to the shop and spent the rest of the day there, I'm not sure how Ravel's presence will change things or if I will even need the help the Gremory, Phenex and Sitri want to give me but we'll see in the future for now I have other things to worry about.
