"How surprising" said Akeno who was standing next to Rias.

"It was me too who made him dress up as a girl" said Valerie half embarrassed.

All of Rias' nobility except Issei's eyes widened.

"That explains a lot..." said Rias sighing.

Rias reached for the door and extended his hand creating a magic circle that deactivated the seal.

"Is-is it a hikikomori?" asked Issei with Rias nodding.

Kiba quickly began to remove the tapes while Akeno helped Rias finish deactivating the seal.

"The child inside that room has been the biggest earner among the servants" Akeno said to everyone.

"Through a computer, the kid has special contracts from human beings. Frankly, it's a person who doesn't want to serve us. These kinds of people negotiate in a different way, and build relationships in a different way. They work things out through the computer. In relationships through computers, among the devil's new servers, this kid grabs enough numbers, like the higher grade ones" Akeno explains.

"Now then, I am opening the door"

The magic seals carved into the door also disappeared, becoming a simple door. Rias quickly opened the door.

"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" an absurd scream arose from the room.

"Good morning to you. Good to see you all energetic." said Rias sighing

"W-Whyeeeeeee?"

"Ara ara, the seal has been removed, did you know? You're able to leave now. Now, shall we all go together?" spoke Akeno gently.

"Noooooooooooooo This place is Booooooom! I don't want to go out! I don't want to meet people!"

Gilgamesh along with everyone else sighed before they entered the room.

The curtains were drawn tightly. The room was decorated in an unexpectedly beautiful way, it looked like a little girl's room. Plush dolls were present as well.

There was a single coffin present in a corner of the room, which seemed to be used in burials from outside.

In it was an androgynous looking man with platinum blond hair and violet pink eyes. His hair is cut short with several small bangs on his forehead, and he has pointed ears.

Unlike the rest of the Kuoh Academy boys who wear the boys' uniform, Gasper wears the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform with socks up to his thigh.

He was Gasper Vladi a cross-dressing male Dhampir, a half-vampire half-human, who has the ability to stop time and the first bishop of Rias

"Gasper there is someone here who wants to see you" said Rias amiably.

"Noooooooooooooooo, I don't want to see anyone" shouts the boy.

Gilgamesh gives a look to Valerie who nods and moves forward.

"Gasper," says Valerie softly.

The boy who had been hiding when he heard the familiar voice came out and widened his eyes when he saw who it was.

"Valerie" said Gasper as tears flowed from his eyes.

"Gasper" speaks Valerie as tears also flowed from his eyes before running to his younger brother and hugging him.

Everyone was moved by what they were seeing.

Just as Rias was about to speak Gilgamesh put his hand on his shoulder.

"Let's leave them for a moment" said Gilgamesh receiving a nod from Rias.

Everyone left, leaving Valerie and Gasper to talk and enjoy their reunion.

As they were walking away Akeno approached Gilgamesh.

"Gilgamesh has someone who would like to see you, so could you come to my temple later?" asked Akeno to Gilgamesh.

"Very well" said Gilgamesh nodding.

Some Time Later.

Within an hour, Gilgamesh was climbing the stairs that led to one of the only two shrines in the city, which was also the only abandoned one. Gilgamesh had asked Mordred to take Valerie back home.

Gilgamesh walked for a while longer before he saw Akeno standing on one of the stairs while wearing a priestess outfit.

"Welcome Gilgamesh" said Akeno with a small smile.

Gilgamesh returned the smile.

"Thank you Akeno" said Gilgamesh as he walked side by side with Akeno.

"Do you live here?" asked Gilgamesh curious.

"Yes, Rias helped me secure the deed to the property after the previous owner, the head priest of the shrine, died." said Akeno smiling and Gilgamesh nodded.

Gilgamesh stopped when he reached the top of the stairs and looked at the scene in front of him.

It was quite obvious even to an ordinary bystander that the shrine was abandoned. The buildings, whether it was the main hall that usually stored the artifact for worship, or the small annex building meant to store supplies, were all in ruins, obviously not having been properly maintained for some time. In the small patches of grass that grew throughout the property, there were also a good number of weeds. The trees that outlined the property were as lush as one might expect, but probably because they required much less maintenance compared to other plants. Their branches grew, sometimes on parts of the buildings, due to lack of pruning.

Still, the property seemed to be in good condition, certainly better than one might expect if it had been abandoned for as long as rumors said it was. Akeno certainly did a good job of maintaining the property, despite being the only one doing it.

"Really you are still the same"

A male voice that Gilgamesh recognized caused Gilgamesh to turn his head skyward. Immediately, he was forced to cover his eyes as a bright golden light filled his vision.

The light faded, allowing Gilgamesh to partially open his eyes. He caught sight of a medium-height male silhouette, with twelve feathered wings sprouting from his back, bathed and protected by a shimmering golden light.

The light faded completely, allowing Gilgamesh to get a good look at who he was in the sky. He was about the same height as Gilgamesh maybe a little shorter, and was thinner than Gilgamesh, who was a little stubbier than average size. He had shoulder length golden blond hair and gentle green eyes, not unlike Asia's. He was dressed in ceremonial robes and armor.

Most impressive of all was, without a doubt, the golden halo floating above his head and the twelve wings with golden feathers, proving his identity beyond any doubt.

Gilgamesh obviously recognized the figure as he had worked with it for almost two years.

"It has been a long time Gilgamesh."

"Yes, it has been a long time Michael."

...

Gilgamesh took a sip of the tea Akeno had brought for him and Michael when they sat in the main hall and sighed contentedly. As always, few things could soothe him as well as a good cup of sweet but bitter green tea.

"The tea is delicious." Gilgamesh said to Akeno, who smiled and nodded in appreciation for the indirect compliment.

"It's been a long time Michael" Gilgamesh said smiling to which Angel reciprocated.

"Yes, I see you are still doing well Gilgamesh" said Michael as he sipped some tea.

The Leader of the Angels respected Gilgamesh greatly, the help of the King of Heroes had made his Faction grow and also improve.

Like most of the Angels he was sad when Gilgamesh had decided to leave the Church, but he knew that Gilgamesh had his reasons.

Michael also knew of his sister's feelings for Gilgamesh and fully supported them, Gabriel deserved love more than anyone.

"So to what do I owe the visit?" asked Gilgamesh curiously.

Michael held out his hand and from it an immense sacred aura emerged and took the form of a sword.

It had the appearance of a European sword with a reddish-purple hilt and a golden hilt with stylized crosses on the guard tips.
