Highschool DxD: A New Opportunity

∆ Part 1

An unfortunate situation happened. I might've gone a bit too far at using my Clairvoyance because suddenly I felt a terrible pain in my eyes... just like the stab of a needle. And then, every time I try to use it again, the pain intensifies.

Guess I will have to go blind from now on, or not exactly that bad. But it is still unnerving not knowing what is happening.

Did I perhaps rely on my ability too much?.

...

...

A little anxious, I continue to walk along with the wardens. I could try to leave them on their own... but then what?. When this is over they will be onto me in no time.

One good thing though... it's that the more wardens there were, the less participation during a fight I got. Well, even then, not many prisoners were left... and not many were looking to pick a fight with a group this big. It left me with enough time to fill my Ki reserves full. And to treat this uncomfortable feeling I have been sensing for a while now.

It is not hard to diagnostic that my body is feverish. The only thing that comes to my mind is... a side effect from the procedure in that facility. It would be a terrible problem if my body is reacting badly to what was done to me.

Can't get a moment to rest huh...

...

...

"There is something I am curious about". I suddenly said.

My selected conversation partner just gave me a side glance as we both walked, surrounded by wardens.

"Why exactly are you going along with us? You are not fighter, and that could make it more dangerous for you. While those guys have no weapons whatsoever, they are still strong enough to take of a single human... No offense". I spoke.

"You are right... in pretty much everything you said. But staying alone would've been worse, don't you think?". The old man replied.

Yeah, I don't exactly buy it.

"Sure...". I said as I rolled my eyes at his answer.

"Kids should trust ȧduŀts' words...". Said the old man.

"Aren't you in jail? How can a kid consider you trustworthy?". I asked in a mocking tone.

The corner of his lips twitched in response and he didn't reply.

"Well, it is not like you stayed willingly... these guys have no plans to let us go just like that. Their suicide mission, they plan to include us... or rather, me". I spoke in low tone.

I expected as much when they were discussing things a while ago.

I could try to sneak away at some point, and the best opportunity will be when they are distracted fighting. It might be heartless of me, but involving getting used does not make me happy. They will be probably be able to take of things on their own later.

"It looks that way... but I will also do so if I were in their position. Your firepower is not something they can simply ignore. It would be either make you help them or kill you so you don't join the other side. But considering how bad is their situation... they decided to use you". Muttered the old man.

You speak like this has nothing to do with you... whatever.

"How much time do you think this will take? I have been wondering for a while, but it is strange considering the forces on the Underworld that they have not stormed here and took those guys down". I inquired.

It doesn't have to be a Maou, I think there are plenty of qualified people(devils) that could solve this.

"You know nothing of how things work around here. The selection of prisoners in this place makes it hard for others to interfere. It is suppose to be outside any sort of influence from any nobility, and respond directly to the government... but as I told you before, those guys blindly trust that everything is working smoothly. *sigh* A kid wouldn't understand". Replied the old man in an exasperated tone.

It is not that difficult to do so. I am not a kid.

...

...

My mind kept having doubts...

How did things reach this point?. It felt like at some point I had an idea but it slipped away from my grasp. Now I can't remember it no matter what I do.

I remember from detective novels I read before that sometimes, you have all the clues to solve a mystery and you don't have answer because you have not considered things you saw before as clues. But there is no mystery here. They got tired of this place, and the prisoners looked for a way to escape. Yet... something bugs me. How annoying...

...

...

No matter how much you wish for something to not happen, or that it just gets delayed... it will eventually happen.

Minutes of continuously walking and we're getting closer to where the prisoners were staying. It was not necessary to use my ability to know. Just from the sound coming from our front is enough to be able to confirm what is going to happen.

Without my ability, I am not able to see from my position, and I feel at loss because of that. During my 'stay' in that place, I got used to it... maybe a little too much.

I can use my Ki to sense my surroundings, but somehow... I think I might be really rusted. There seems to be enemies nearby but I can't see anyone.

No... I... I might not be a smart cookie but I should've paid more attention to that. There is still that possibility.

Too late for regrets. Just be prepared for what is to come.

...

...

Arriving an open space that it is filled with tables and chairs everywhere, maybe a dinning hall. There is a clear distinction of who is who.

It was pretty much impossible to arrive at this place without being seen, and these guys have not the kind of skills to make us enter without anyone noticing so we walked in boldly.

A number of prisoners were being held in the middle of the dinning hall. They were kneeling, bleeding everywhere, but they seemed to be alive as their expression brightened as soon as we arrived. Well, they got cloudy as soon they noticed the small number of people who came to their rescue.

"Greetings to you all, wardens! And what it seems to be two fellow prisoners... although one doesn't look to belong to this place". A voice was heard as I observed the prisoners being held... by other prisoners.

Turning my head to the origin, I saw a man that seems to be in his twenty, black hair and blue eyes. He spoke in a bright tone.

"And what do I own the honors of having been graced with your presence?". With a mock bow, that guy said.

"Stop playing stupid, release those people. And go back to your cell, that way, this will end peacefully". Spoke one of the wardens that I first met in a stern tone.

I don't think we have the upper hand here, and that means we can't make demands just like that.

"Oh, that is bit complicated request you have made. I don't think I would like to do as you said...". Smiling, the guy said.

I gazed around, but it was strange that everything was too quiet. No one else spoke. Honestly it seemed eerie. Looking behind me, I could still see the path we took to arrive here opened. Yet, there was a sense of danger.

"Stop playing around, don't you know the consequences of your actions?". The warden spoke harshly.

"But.... •I am not doing anything wrong, am I?•?". Said the guy.

Suddenly, I felt an out of place feeling, it was rather strange. I could hear him say something... but... what was that?. His words were...

"W-what? Of course you are doing something wrong. Look around you! This is your doing...!". Faltering a little, the warden still insisted.

For my part, I kept observing everyone. Stepping backwards little by little, I watched warily their movements.

"Don't be like that, •Can't you see that everything was for a good reason? Yes, it is for a good reason so everything is ok. No need to be wary of me. In fact... Why do we have to fight?•". In sad tone of voice, the guy spoke.

Once again, I felt something strange. And after observing how some of wardens lowered their weapons... I recalled that certain thought from before.

It was strange no matter how you looked at it. No matter how corrupted those guys were, realeasing the prisoners wouldn't be enough unless they wanted to catalogued as terrorist or something along those lines. But... What if they did for other reasons... something more simple. No hidden agenda from some outside force or some carefully laid out plan coming from some crazy dude that is crazy for destruction. It can be more simple than that.

"•Why don't we get along? I wouldn't mind a hand even if it comes from you guys•". In a kind tone, almost harmless, the guy said.

"I-I... I... Urgh. Stop it, everyone! Wake up! That guys is using some kind of ability on us!". Hesitating between lowering his weapon or not, the warden who had been speaking so far took out a knife and stabbed himself on his leg.

From that yell, a few nearby wardens seemed to react and following his example, did the same to wake up from their stupor.

Watching this, I was convinced that things wouldn't go well from here on. I was rather curious at what method the guy was using but I was not going to stay to chat with him.

"*Tsk* That is why I hate strong-willed guys, they are hard to fall for my words. The others were almost under my control as well. Ah ah, who cares. Everyone, those are enemies, you know what to do". Like his expressions so far were a lie, the guy coldly spoke with an expresionless look.

Immediately, every prisoner even the ones who were being held in place started to walk our way. They seemed to lost all expressions for a moment after they heard those words but soon regained them.

The worst was when... some of the wardens pointed their weapons at their comrades too. I recognized those guys, they were the group who we regrouped with.

Taking a look around, I found that our escape route was already being covered by the prisoners in a quick manner.

"So... Do you still think that helping them was a good idea?". I spoke sarcastically to the old man, who for some reason did not seem to be affected by the words of that guy even though the wardens were.

It was rather strange that it was like that, well, I am fine as well so that makes it more strange. I never saw myself as a strong-willed guy.

"You are never going to let that go huh... But I have to agree with you. This could be even worse that I originally thought. Was it mind control? No, hypnosis? He only spoke, I did not see any sign of magic circle or spell. What was...?". Bitterly smiling, the old man accepted my words... and started mumbling about this and that.

"Who cares about that right now!? I will leave this place, what about you?". I asked as I created a few Kashas.

"Wait, I think that even if we hide... this won't end well!". Replied the old man.

No, what is this guy saying...?. I do have the impulse to take care of that guy too but only a sneak attack would work will all the prisoners around him.

"Think about it, this situation is being created by that individual alone. If we took care of him here... everything will be resolved". Exclaimed the old man as he pointed at the guy from before.

I just stayed quiet. While it might be as he said, I already followed his idea once and this is were I found myself into. Yet, if I hadn't done so, I would never know what happened.

"Not interested, you can go and take care of him by yourself". I replied after thinking for a moment. I would have to go through way to many people to reach him. And I am not that strong to be able to wipe the floor with those guys, instead they might wipe the floor with me.

Still, things were bound to complicate as we picked someone's interest.

"You there... Why are you with them? If they were threatening to follow their orders then there is no need anymore. Very few prisoners have resisted my words, you two are a rather strange pair but if they found the worth of keeping you around then you are surely useful. Why don't you come with me? It won't be easy to leave on your own". Suddenly spoke the guy.

I felt like face-palming myself at this point.

"Oh, I have to thank you for your kind offer, we were in a really tough position. They planned to use us as meat-shields and we could do nothing about it. I couldn't be more delighted hearing that, of course we will come with you as we are already sick of this place". Said the old man, using an expression like a man who went through many hardships.

The corner of my lips were twitching non-stop. This bastard, he changes his gears pretty quickly. Is he trying to suck up to him to make him lower his guard? Or is he just trying to change sides now that things got difficult.

"Hmmm... I can see that kid's use right away, but what about you?". Staring at me and the old man alternatively the guy asked.

He probably is talking about my Kasha...

Well, it is not everyday you get to see a kid with a greenish-blue flame wheel hovering above his hand.... huh?. One of the Kasha looks slightly different.

"What are you doing? If you join that bastard, we won't show mercy either!". Despite the situation he found himself in, the warden still tried to press us to remain at his side.

Hearing his words, I stopped staring at my Kasha and turned to him. Even though he was being surrounded, he sure had guts to pressure his only possible allies.

By my side the old man took a moment to answer.

"I know a lot of useful things about this place, I had been planning to escape myself soon... but you beat me to it". Shrugging his shoulders the old man explained.

Would you look at that?.

"I will see about that... In any case, taking care of our 'friends' here is a priority. It would hurt to see you backing down later so... Why don't you take care of them on your own? If you know what I mean...". Pointing at the wardens, the guy said.

I furrowed my eyebrows at that. His intention couldn't be more obvious. Since we won't listen to his words like those people who seemed to obey him, he needs an ȧssurance that we won't turn on him later. 'Taking care' of the wardens means to kill them... If we kill a government official, our fate won't be anything nice.

"Hahah, you can't be seriously asking that to a kid and a powerless old man, can you?". Trying to pass those words as a joke, the old man laughed.

Unfortunately, that guy did not seem amused.

"It doesn't matter to me...". In a dry tone he spoke.

The old man caught the hint and stopped laughing.

For my part... I considering what it would mean to do as he asked. I would be literally becoming enemies with the devils. There won't be a way to sugar coat what I will have to do here.

"By the way... I have a question. What are you going to do when you leave this place?". I suddenly asked the guy.

"Me? I only want revenge against the devils. Those b*starst sent me here because I put my hands on some servant girl. So much drama for that. Just my luck, I had heard that devils were not exactly caring of their people but...*tsk* just remembering it piss me off". The guy spoke in an annoyed tone.

That settles it.

"I see... I guess it will be like this after all". Muttering light heartedly, I swung my arms and threw my Kashas at that guy.

Well, either way I never planned to become enemies with the devils. Although I am not sure how my actions so far will be seen.

"•Cover me•". Hastily muttering that, the guy seemed to order some of prisoners near him.

I got the same feeling from before as I heard him.

The prisoners immediately moved in front of him and took the attack head on. Some of them were able to defend themselves using magic, but not all could do so and they took the hit with their bȧrė bodies.

One thing I noticed was the effect of that different colored Kasha, it caused more damage than the others. Well, it looked that way. As I saw some of the prisoners sent flying, I thought that it was the case.

"What stupid thing to do.... Can't expect anything from a kid. Leave no one alive". Safely protected behind a literal wall of prisoners that left no opening, I heard him say that.

"Sorry about that, I think you will meet your doom along with me". I said to the old man who was still beside me.

"That's some really grim choice of words, Shouldn't you be saying something like 'it will be ok, we will survive this'?". Asked back the old man.

I looked around us, surrounded by dangerous looking people, being outnumbered is a big minus in the possibility of getting out this one.

"Do you want the kid to be the reliable one in time like these? You must be joking ..". I answered in a bitter tone.

Kinda wish that someone said those words to me right now.

I would say such a thing if it were Kuroka-chan or Shirone-chan, not some old man I bȧrėly met. Rias-chan and Sona-chan too... Hmmm, I feel like I am being extremely biased somehow.

Got no time to think about that though.

Pulling back the old man who was about it be hit by a prisoner, I positioned him behind me while I sent Kasha at the prisoner.

He took the full brunt of the attack but could move nonetheless, so with my reinforced body I sent a kick at his knee, forcing him to kneel due the psin and the not so subtle sound that probably meant that I broke something. Now that his head was at arms reach, I took a stance with my feets firmly planted on the ground and pulling my right hand back, forming a fist... I threw a punch at his face. The hit sending him straggering backwards before he fell down no longer moving.

During all that, more prisoners moved to catch us so I could not take a breather.

"So, what is the plan now? I think you should just hide though...". Speaking to the old man as I created more Kashas, my attention was on my surroundings.

I can't even count the number of prisoners. Some of them are armed like the wardens. Not a mystery how they got those.

My goal is to leave before they start bombarding me with magic.

Turning my gaze to the guy who caused this, I saw him being 'escorted' to a farther place from where the melee was occuring. He just seems to be a human, and while I did not feel any magic or saw a magic circle, he somehow is making all this people do what he wants.

"If we can reach the elevator area....". Muttering that, the old man turned to the place we came from and ran.

Skillfully avoiding getting closer to anyone, he just went through a large number of prisoners. For my part, I took the opportunity change from using Kasha, to forming claws of Ki extended from my hands. While Kasha might be more effective as it kept them away, some of them were using magic to avoid being hit. And that is just a waste of Ki.

Hesitating for a moment, I began slicing, scratching and cutting my way out.

...

...

After leaving that place, I felt slightly complicated that I abandoned those wardens. Biting my lips, I tried to kept those feelings in check as it was no time to think about it.

Before I knew it, I had lost sight of the old man, even if I ran at full speed with my reinforced body... It doesn't mean I would not notice if I passed him.

Thankfully, I recalled his words before we separated so I am not clueless of his whereabouts... although the questions is whether I will look for him or not.

Hmmm....? I have something to take care before that I guess...

Sending people after us, huh?.

...

...

Advancing until I was again in the area where there were cells, I waited inside of one them for my pursuers. I detected them vaguely before, so I could tell that they coming this way. Because of that, I prepared an 'ambush', if this can be called as such. Still, I wonder if I could use this opportunity to try a couple of things.

...

...

...Well, I think that twenty people is a bit too much to send after an old man and a kid.

Nevertheless, I doubt that they will just listen to me a go back if I complain. Although the trickier part is that they send about four wardens as well. I have to be careful with those.

Taking a deep breath, I waited for them to get closer, and as they reduce our distance with each step, I reinforced my body, and I felt my strenght go up... my confidence went up as well.

When the group is halfway passing me, I leap out of the cell I was hiding and kick my closest target on his leg. And while he bends in pain, I with all my strenght, push him against the people behind him hoping to break their march.

"Son of..."

With the small window of time that bought me, I turned around and send a fireball at the next closest guy to blind him. He managed to cover his face so the fire did not cause too much harm, but I aimed to obstruct his eyesight.

Quickly shaping the Ki in my hand to form a claw, I swept my arm horizontally to wound his stomach. Flinching from pain, his stance broke... and that's when I tackled him and made him lose his balance. Now on the floor, I was about to strike him again but I had to jump to one side as I was about to be hit by a rain of icicles.

"*Tsk* He avoided that"

Luckily for me, only few of those managed to hit me and they were not able to pierce my Touki. But the prisoner whom I tackled was not so lucky as he ended up as a human(devil) porcupine.

"Surround him, he must not be left with any way out"

"Shut it, I don't take orders from you. We need to spread out he is a needle fighter, attack with magic from afar"

They seemed to be talking and discussing among themselves, but for me who was not paying attention to the just sounded like background music. A terrible one at that.

As I moved away, my gaze turned to the attacker. He was only the first one, one by one, magic circles were being created. Some had different colors so I imagined that there were going to be different spells thrown at me. At some point, they had back away from my position... I wished to have my bow at this time.

Watching them carefully, I ran in their direction. If they are going to hit me, I will drag them along with me.

"Do not let him get close! Aim at his legs!"

"Anyone who can freeze the floor!?"

"If I had that much of ability I wouldn't have let them to catch me"

Once again, I did my best to ignore them.

It did not take too long before the first spell came flying and I had throw myself on the floor to avoid a disk of ice that came at full speed. Not sure if my Touki would be enough to withstand the attack... but I was not going to find out.

Hastily standing up, then jumping to one side to evade what I thought was a spray of water... or upon looking at the state of the floor and seeing how it was melting a little... I find out that it was acid. Scary.

I moved the best I could to not let any attack land on me, focusing on every movement they did to be ready to evade. In less than a second I avoided more than five different attacks, but I also managed to reduce our distance enough to kick the next guy on the stomach. And without stopping, I retracted my leg, to change it for my other one that did not fail to deliver a heavy blow.

I backed away and send a fireball at his unprotected face. Then I changed my target for the next one.

Not a moment of rest...

...

...

"You guys made this way harder...". I muttered in a tired tone as the last pursuer collapsed.

One way or another, I was able to take care of them. It was a troublesome fight as I was extremely careful to not harm the wardens more than necessary. As for the prisoners... Well, I might've been a little rough, but they are big boys, they will get over it.

I did not particularly aim for their lives. There was something I wanted to confirm so I needed to keep them alive. Making the fight harder.

During the battle, I was trying to test how strong was the control that guy had over them. But no matter what method I tried, they seemed to continue doing their stuff without stopping. No matter if I punched, kicked, burned or cut them. No harm made them react. I felt creeped out at that, but after I finished the battle what bothered me more were my actions. I went to far even if I wanted to see whether the control over these people could be broken.

*Sigh*

Morality can wait, I guess.

Dragging the prisoners to a nearby cell, I put one on each cell, locking the door I had too use all my strenght to bend part of the door so they stay theree stuck. I am not sure if they will be able to escape later but at least this will keep them busy for a while.

The moment I got to the wardens, I checked their clothing in case I found something useful. But besides a pack of cigarettes, and bubble gum, I only found air in their pockets. That guys must've emptied anything useful already.

Pondering for a moment, I wondered where I should be going now that this people were taken care of. I did not feel anyone else coming this way.

...

...

It did not take long for me to move to my next location. Keeping myself at a prudent distance, I wandered around the vicinity of the elevator. Prisoners were gathered theree, but I failed to locate the old man. Not by sight, or just using Ki to locate him.

Briefly I wondered if he took another route or if he was... killed. I can't guarantee that after finding him the guy would want to get rid of him.

I transformed into a cat and got closer to see if I could confirm the whereabout of that old man. He is the only acquantice I have here, and with the slightly debt I have for him saving me back there, I would feel bad if I didn't even confirm that.

But what I was when I got closer... made me want to have just stayed quietly somewhere else waiting for this to finish.

Ah, Can't I just go home already?.

I swear, as soon as I get home, I will ask Yasaka-san for a mofu mofu festival again. I will also pat Kuroka-chan and Shirone-chan like there is no tomorrow.

∆ Part 2

His stomach churned and he had to be mindful or he would just throw up what he had for breakfast.

It was not a matter of being used to this kind of things, no matter how much you get used to it, it still affects you. But what made Sirzechs feel terrible... is how they all ended up after going through the experiments. He was reading the files of the failed cases in the facility.

...

...

Moments later after Grayfia left and having taking the Nekomata sisters personally to his parents mansion, he was called by his friend Ajukas. He thought that he would tell him what he found after checking what he sent. But he only heard him say "...You have to see this", and the conversation was cut so he just went to his friend's lab. Arriving he could tell that his mood was not the best as he was trying to suppress his anger. When Ajukas noticed his presence, he just handed him some files.

Reading those, he could understand his friend's feeling at the moment.

"From what I see here, there were quite a number of experiments being made. But the report I received from that place says nothing about most of what I read". Spoke Sirzechs in a doubtful tone.

Taking in his hand the small box that contained the things Sirzechs sent him, Ajukas pointed at it.

"This little thing you sent me... It contains a large amount of information, and from what I have analyzed so far, none of it seems to be fake. Which makes me doubt how accurate that report you received before actually is. Also... two particular cases seemed to stand out from the rest so I prepared a more detailed file. It is... well, I think that you should read it first before saying anything else". Said Ajukas as he handed more files to his friend.

Repeating the process he just did, Sirzechs read. And while this one had an smaller amount of pages... he took longer reading it.

"...I see. So this is what... then those two are... lastly he...". Closing his eyes for a moment, and furrowing his brows, Sirzechs muttered to himself.

Ajukas beside him did not say a word, he just quietly waited.

"Did you find anything else?". In a slightly colder tone mixed with anger, Sirzechs asked.

"I thought you wouldn't ask. In fact, the most important information I could find in that storage device you sent, was a certain list. I am not sure why did the guy who wrote it was so meticulous at everything he did, but it worked in our favor. Not only did he keep a record of the experiments he managed and participated... but he had a very detailed record of his dealings with certain people..." With a faint smile, Ajukas handed the last file he had prepared.

While his mood was not very good right now, the words his friend said made Sirzechs curious so he began reading.

"I don't know where you got these, but with a little investigation and these records as proof, we can finally catch some rotten devils. What are you going to do?". Asked Ajukas.

Taking a deep breath to calm his beating heart, Sirzechs did not ponder for long, recalling the words of that man who met long ago.

"'No mercy for those who might harm your family and friends' huh... I guess this is such a case. Not only for what it was done to that child, but for all they have been doing. So far we lacked the means to touch them... yet, we have the opportunity now. It would be a shame to waste it, right?". Using a firm tone, Sirzechs replied.

Knowing who was the one who said such a words before, Ajukas had a slight smile. While he and his people disappeared long ago, his words and actions at that time still remained in the mind and heart of many people(devils).

"Then, Should I prepare a team to go and apprehend them?". Asked Ajukas as he prepared to leave at once.

"No, it is important to go step by step. First... We should take care of those who erased evidence in that facility. But just to be sure... Could you go by yourself and check the scene? If it's you, finding a few more things might be possible". Spoke Sirzechs.

"...I don't mind but... It might take a while. What are you going to do in the meantime?". Replied Ajukas.

"Me? I want to make that the efforts of that child do not go to waste. From what I saw, some of those people will complicate everything making it to do something about them even with all we have... that is why I will look for someone, with his help, this can be done". Said Sirzechs, his gazed pointed a particular direction when he spoke.

His friend could only widen his eyes in surprise at those words, as he did not expect that.

"Are you serious? He is the type who seeks peace at all cost, Wouldn't he want to cover this up? Do you think he would support us?". Asked Ajukas, his tone carrying disbelief.

*Sigh*

As he sighed, Sirzechs thought that there was a chance that it would not go as he wanted but...

"It is as you said, but... this time experiments have gone too far. The devil used on him, Bael household had a little story with her. So he will at least heard me out. Besides, he would usually try to hide this... But I won't let him". In a strong tone, Sirzechs replied.

Noticing that his friend had no intentions of backing down, Ajukas was a little exasperated, but he will do as always, support him. Although...

"You should be careful though, because that will probably look as a threat if you don't mind your words. Remember that you are going to ask for support, not to pick a fight". Wryly smiling Ajukas could not help but say that.

Blinking in doubt, Sirzechs began sweating when he carefully recalled his words.

*Sigh*

"...I will take care of that". Sighing in defeat, he just teleported to his office.

Left alone in his lab, Ajukas muttered to himself.

"Why did they use that particular devil? And... Did they succeed?. *Sigh* Nora Shiki, is it?. This child will not be able to rest peacefully from now on...". Said Ajukas as carefully stored that small box his friend had sent.

~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~

Softly massaging her temple with her left hand, Grayfia was trying to keep a headache in check.

"What happened to taking care of things peacefully?". Muttering in a low tone of voice, Grayfia watched the entrance of the prison.

Now destroyed, it had signs of being frozen in different parts.

Of course, it was not Grayfia's doing. While she was an user of ice magic, this was the result of her friend Serafall not holding back anymore.

Although she could hardly blame her. They were stopped at the entrance and were not given access. Even using the names of the Maou seemed to have no effect. Asking for Nora and being denied any sort of info was the thing that made Serafall storm in regardless of the consequences.

"...what is done is done. Since it has come to this, might as well take him out the hard way". While she said in a tone like there was no other choice, Grayfia found it refreshing to actually do something like this, and it showed with slightly smile on her face.

It was not the proper procedure, but it remind her of him. Recklessly causing chaos for this kind of matters was rather common back them.

"Y-you... d-do you think you can do what you want because of your position? A-as soon as I fill a complain they will swarm at you guys". A warden who was bȧrėly left conscious after Serafall's intrusion spoke.

At the warden words, Grayfia smile faded and was replaced with an expresionless look. She let her demonic power to overflow out of her body, causing the pressure around the area to increase.

"You say some interesting things, 'they'? As far as I recall, you are suppose to respond to the Four Maou, and from the way you talk... you are clearly not talking about any of them. Now then... explain to me... What is this about?". Speaking in a tone that would sent chills to anyone who heard her, Grayfia said.

While she looked for Nora, Grayfia had found enough resistance to make her think that there was something fishy going on. But she only had something at the level of insurbodination at most... yet, having a warden speak like that, there seemed to be more than what it looked like on the surface.

"A-are you t-threatening m-me? D-don't make me l-laugh, you wouldn't dare to actually do anything. Aren't you already in a bad position due your origins? Many devils already doubt you because you were close to that group of craz-". A little scared at the beginning, the warden started speaking more confidently until he had to stop abruptly because a terrifying and heavy killing intent that had targeted him.

"I don't mind when you speak ill of me but never, ever... speak about them like that. Understood?". Said Grayfia. The already frozen ground by Serafall was being covered by another layer of ice as her demonic power unconciously took form.

Noticing that the frost was beginning to cover him, the warden paled in fright. He opened and closed his mouth trying to say a words but he was not able to. Yet, the ice did not stop spreading so he worked hard to speak.

"U-undertood... J-just stop, p-please-e!". Basically begging he said.

Although those words were not enough to put her in a good mood, Grayfia did not take it any further and controlled her temper a little.

"I won't give you a second chance. But since you are feeling regretful about what you said... how about you tell me what I want to know?". Doing her best to sound compassionate, Grayfia tried to smile... but her eyes did not seem to follow her intentions.

Blaming himself for not fainting at the beginning, the warden regretted speaking those words. One glance at his colleagues he saw them knocked out, no, on a closer look some of them were trying fake uncounciousness despite the cold. Since he was going to fall, he was not going to do so alone.

"O-of course, I will. But my colleagues there would surely offer more information than me". Wearing a flattering smile, the warden spoke while pointing at his 'fallen' colleagues.

Turning her sight to were he was pointing, Grayfia could tell the state they were in. She was not going to make it harder for them since Serafall had gone a little overboard already but if they have useful information...

"Stand up, I know that you are fine. Join this man over there. I will have you tell me everything". Spoke Grayfia in a firm tone that made it impossible for anyone to say anything back.

∆ Part 3

It felt odd that someone who could control people through words to keep hostages, but it seems it was all for appearence's sake.

After arriving at the elevator's area, I found that the guy was already there with his followers or controlled mob. And the supposed 'hostages' from before were neatly in formation like the rest of the prisoners and warden.

If this guy escapes... it gives me the creeps just thinking what kind of things he could do. Although he seemed to have problem controlling some people, such as some wardens from before or myself as example... it wouldn't matter if he can grasp people's weakness and exploit it.

The worst is that it is not possible to confirm if his control can be broken. I was not able to do after some simple tests, but the question reminds if a method actually exist.

Should I really stay seated and do nothing?.

~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~

One look at everything in front of him and Marcus was satisfied. Having been caught years ago for his actions had left him with a deep grudge.

He discovered the supernatural world during his childhood by mistake after escaping from the orphanage once. He got involved many times in that world and ended awakening something he learned that it was called 'Sacred Gear'. While he learned what it was called, he did not get anyone to teach him how to use it. His ability had no attack power by itself, but it helped to give credibility to his words, people would be convinced of what he said and do what he asked if used the right words.

Although not everything went smoothly, there were many limitations to his ability. Not everyone fell for his words, and more than once he suffered the backlash of it. But years of practice were enough for him to master its use little by little.

Growing up, he arrived at that age where he was interested in the opposite sėx. And since there was no one that could oppose him, he tried to use his ability to get more 'familiar' with women. It went terrible, the restrictions of his ability stopped him from going to far. Outside stimulus broke his ability's power.

Instead, he went for a different route. If his abilities were not enough... he had to obtain enough money to not need to use his Sacred Gear. But it was a vicious circle as he was already used to rely on his ability too much. Raising such a large amount of money was bound to take while... and it had consequences, people started to notice him. Without other choice, his life on the run started. Mixing with all kind of people he was able to accomplish his goal with women, but he was hardly happy. Relying on money made him feel empty.

The time arrived when he made another wrong move. Involving himself with a wealthy family he planned to take their money but he ended up being interested in one of the maids working there as a servant. A lot of time had gone by since he last failed picking up a woman so he was rather confident. But as he used money as a medium too many times, and those who got close to him were seeking only that, he became overconfident in his actions and went too far.

At last, he bothered people whom he shouldn't have. Escaping was impossible... thus he ended in prison. Even when he never informed them, they learned of his sacred gear and restricted its use. Days became weeks, weeks became months... and months became years. He spent a long time in this place, with each day a grudge directed at those who sent him here was consuming him. Until finally, he seemed to have reached a new level. His Sacred Gear responded to him and granted him a power up to his ability, enough to work even when they had restricted its use.

For now, he planned to get away as far as he can, but he did not forget to use his strenghtened power to create new pawns that would be helpful in the future. When he thinks the time is right... a little revenge wouldn't hurt.

It took a while to bring everyone he had put under control to the elevator area. He had managed to put more than the wardens from this floor under his control so he was able to prepare a good force that would allow him to break free... and during the chaos he would get away.

Thinking about his plan, Marcus smiled. While he found a little resistance from time to time, he was able to pull off his plan. Preparing to open the elevator's door... he turned his sight downwards. Right there, he found a small black cat, seated staring at him in the eyes. One green and one blue eye. It seemed somewhat familiar to him.

Blinking in surprise, his first thought was about why was a cat here. But on a further thought, he recalled where he was and that a cat should not be here. But before he was able to take some distance. The small cat quickly transformed into someone, a child.

Marcus remembered then, what was familiar with the cat were it's eyes, the same as the child in front of him.

"Anyone, •Come here at deal wit-•". He tried to command the mob under his control but a sudden pain in his stomach made him stop.

Looking down, he could see a hand digging into his stomach. It was deep enough to feel all the way inside. But he just shivered not at the pain but at eyes staring back at him.

He never noticed before, no, they did not look like this before. But those eyes were too eerie, coming from a child that kind of stare was not normal.

"Will you please die? I don't think you want to quietly go back to your cell so I thought that I should skip a few steps and deal with you like this". With no intonation, the child, Nora said that.

It gave him the chills the way that was said, but he pushed back his fear with the anger he felt at being stopped when he was so close to leave this place.

"Why!? Why are you stopping me? I was going to free us all, you could've taken this opportunity to leave too". Trying to force that hand out his stomach and failing, Marcus tried to speak with the child to distract himself from the feeling in his stomach.

"That is a lie. You had not such intentions, otherwise... you would've have taken another path. Instead you did all this. But your reasons don't matter to be honest. I won't try to justify myself either... at this point I don't think I am better than you. Perhaps... my actions are an uncouncious dėsɨrė my body has. To stop you, to remaind here, where someone like me should be...". Spoke Nora, while finally pulling his hand out.

It could've been because of the blood lost, but Marcus had no idea what this child was saying. It seemed pure nonsense. Instead of paying closer attention to the meaning of those words, he backed away. Although he was followed closely by his attacker.

"•Kill him, don't l-• Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!". Marcus once again tried to use his Sacred Gear's ability to command the controlled prisoners only to fail as a fireball was thrown on his face. He then used a hand to cover his face and one to cover his bleeding stomach.

"Hmmm, so as long as you words are stopped midway you can't order them around huh. I see". Muttering, Nora maintained a close distance.

Hearing those words, Marcus panicked. One of his weakness was revealed just like that. Along with his wound, and the fear he had for death, it put in in a strange state. Once again he could feel his Sacred Gear responding to his emotions. With determination to live... and to kill the child in front of him he leaped sideway, near some of the controlled prisoners, and while he took one of them as a shield...

"•Kill him!!!•". He yelled his next instruction.

Unfortunately, he spoke in the wrong order.

When he took action just now, Nora followed right after him, and while he bought time by using a prisoner as cover... It was only enough to stop the child for a moment.

"This is why they say that you never must leave an opening...". Even as Nora said that, he had created a two Kashas which he had swung right away.

That moment when those green and bluish flames were getting close to him, made Marcus recall every action he took since he got his sacred gear. He was not able to understand... how things had come to this point. Was he in the wrong? He just used his power because he could... is that something bad?.

Carrying such a thoughts, he felt the flames burning him. He was not allowed to even scream as the speed they burned him was too fast. That also left his questions unanswered.

~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~

Watching that guy being consumed by my Kasha, my feelings were complicated. I tried to keep my emotions in check but at the end I could only hold it until he was kdead. Still, I had not time to sentimentalism. His last words were literally a dead sentence for me. I was able to get close as a cat by avoiding being noticed, but I think they did not react because they were no particulary ordered to catch anyone. Or maybe I was able to hide my presence better than I thought.

Glancing around, I tried to look for an escape route but as expected, it won't just appear because I wished for it. These guys who looked like mindless puppets just after hearing that last order are now regaining their emotions... but they probably are not recovering their sanity. It is never that easy.

First, one of them turned his head my way... then they all did. It was unerving.

Hesitating over killing or not is not going to cut it now. So I created Kashas like my life depended on it(it probably does). And before they attacked me, I struck first.

...

...

Jumping backwards to evade a rising fire pillar that rose from my late position, I had to immediately duck to avoid being caught by the hands of a prisoner. Quickly turning myself to face him, I instead of creating a number of icicles and sending them his way, I created only one on my hand, which I grabbed and used it to stab him.

"Ghuuuck"

"He is attacking Nick, direct your attacks that way!"

"Who the heck is Nick!? How am I suppose to know where that b*stard is!?"

Their words went from one ear to another.

Thinking about it, I always used the Youjutsu spells I learned in the same way they taught me, but this situation has made me rethink the usage of the spells. I changed way I employ them, to fit more my current needs.

Although that doesn't change that I am in a huge disadvantage. They have gone bonkers. Their numbers do not help either.

"Seal his movements! He must die!"

Their words are so heartwarming, and encouraging(not) that I have no choice but to keep going.

...

...

Looking below me, a magic circle had formed before I was aware of it. Having seen a similar sight rather often, I knew what this was about.

Crossing my arms in front of me, I stopped the punch of a prisoner. With my hands, I grabbed his arm a pulled him to swap our positions. A second later, he was impaled by an earth spike that rose from the magic circle.

"What are you doing!? You are suppose to kill that kid, stop with the friendly fire"

"Don't give me orders, if you can do better then do it yourself"

Despite their yells and shouts, their offensive on me never stopped. The only good thing being that they don't all get along, meaning that some of them don't care about hitting each other instead of me.

Suddenly I felt a chill and as I prepared to leap from where I stood up, a hand caught my arm. The strength would've broken a bone if I had not protected myself with Touki.

"Hehe, caught you"

Muttering creepily those words, I turned to see who did that but I could not see anyone.

"What a shame, even though you are a Youkai like me, it seems you are not experienced at fighting your own kind"

In a moment, the figure of the speaker appeared in front of me.

Illusion? Invicibility? I briefly wondered what method he used, as I failed to sense him too. But I did not stop moving my hands, quickly creating a Kasha slammed it in the arm he used to grip me.

"Arghhhhh! You!!"

I did not waste the instant he left go of me to take distance from him.

I would've had gone to finish him off but he was not my only enemy. Recognizing a magic circle that appeared almost at my face, I paled, compressing Ki at an incredible speed I let it burst from the sole of my feets while I jumped sideways to avoid... an acid mist. An unlucky warden nearby was hit and he melted before he was able to cry out.

Cold sweat ran down from my back, and I was forced to recall that I was fighting for my life once again.

...

...

The continuous fight was taking a toll on me. I had no escape routes as they sealed them by raising an earth wall in on side, and the only other way to leave had an ice wall.

Their determination to kill me is impressive I must say.

...

...

How many have I killed? I lost count. To begin with, I think almost all of them have died by 'friendly' fire than by my hands. Yet, their numbers are still high. My body is not in a good shape either. Wounds have piled up. Only having time to lightly heal myself.

...

...

I was sent flying as I missed a guy who rammed into me. My vision blurred for a moment so I was not able to react fast enough.

...

...

The number of times I fail to evade are going up... only following my instincts when the danger is too much is what allowed me avoid critical hits.

...

...

I reached my limit, with that, my body is bȧrėly standing. But I can't move a finger.

"Finally, I say... he was more annoying than I thought. He took with him too many people"

"Ha! You say funny things, half of those who died where you b*stards doing. Don't you know how to be careful!?"

"Leave it at that, you can kill each other later. We must kill him first"

"*Tsk* I will do so... But, it is still frustrating how much trouble he caused. Can't I beat him to death? He will die either way so I can at least do something fun"

"Only you would thing that doing that is fun... Very well, he already has a foot on the grave anyways"

"Haha, thanks!"

I heard them speaking but my eyes had trouble focusing on who spoke those words.

At that moment, I did not care about what they said anymore. My body was in pain, but it was not as bad as what Naberius did. Thinking that this might be my last moment alive... I tried to feel every last bit.

Ignoring the pain, I tried to focus on everything else. The cold floor seemed to freeze and... huh? Cold? Isn't it too much?. Where is this cold coming from?.

My thoughts were cut short as a foot sank on my stomach. The result was easy to imagine, my body bent uncounciously and it was sent backwards... rolling on the floor.

...

...

My counciousness was blurry, the painn was fading. Still, the cold did not leave my mind. Is it what people feel when they are about to die I wonder? I died once... but it was different at that time.

"Hey, still not done? You have been at it for a while know"

"Shut up, he just doesn't die. He is really tough... By the way, who is the idiot that is cooling this place? It is freezing"

"No one is doing that, Can't you see that everyone is just waiting for you to finish?"

"You are so annoying, why don't you come and help me? It lost all the fun when he stopped reacting"

"How pathetic of you, Can't even kill a helpless child..."

They seem to be fighting among each other now. Should I be flattered because it is about me?. I would like if girls fought were the one fighting about me not some dudes though....

~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~

Tired of stomping and hitting the target, one of the prisoners had asked other people for help.

While it was strange that wardens and prisoners were 'working together', it was a temporary measure until they took care of the now half-dead youkai.

A small group of people consisting of warden and prisoners prepared to finish Nora when a sound was heard that stopped everyone in their tracks.

Their reaction was not strange since it surprised them, as far as they know, that door had to be closed. But the sound was the proof that it was about to be opened. Everyone turned their gaze at that place.

Some of them wondered if there was anyone taking the opportunity where everyone was distracted to flee. But the smarter ones knew that it was not possible as they all could not do anything else at the moment other than kill that Youkai. Lastly, the ones with sharper instincts had a feeling that everything was going south real soon as they felt their hairs standing up and the need to flee was constantly flashing on their heads.

*Pin*

Such a nonchalant tone was heard and the doors to the elevator were opened. The first thing they felt was a wave of cold air. And almost everyone tilted their heads in confusion at the clothing that the person who arrived had.

"That kind old man told me he would be around here... but I am not sure where. Hmmm, I rushed here, yet I still can't find him". Carrying a pondering expression the person who arrived just looked around

There was hardly anyone here who did not recognize that face. And strangely many recognized her because of her clothing.

"Why are you guys stopping? We are so close to..."

"Shhhh! Do you have a death wish!? She is..."

Turning her gaze, the young woman who was still standing inside the elevator began observing her surroundings. Even when she saw the large number of prisoners and wardens around her did she feel fear, only furrowing her eyebrows in confusion.

She took all the information that her eyes could see in seconds, having seen similar situations on upper floors. It was then when she saw him. She tightened the grip on the small wand she had. The young woman knew how he was suppose to look like, she had seen sketches, pictures and above all, she had heard her beloved little sister describe him many times. He certainly looked very different, completely beat up and bleeding everywhere. But she could tell it was him.

It was at that moment that she felt... rage.

"So-tan's friend... How dare you...". Angrily spoke the young woman.

She received many confused stares, but she did not care. What was in front of her was against everything she believed. She believed in peace and she wished to protect it. She loved children smiles, and she always did her best for that. She loved her little sister dearly... and had vowed to protect her.

Her beloved So-tan asked for her help. Finding her friend she said. So she did as asked and started to look for him. It was So-tan's request... and she wanted to lend a hand. Not only because she was an ally of children, but... she owned it to him. She never got to meet him, but she knew that it was that child who protected her little sister when she could not. That is why she did her best.

Nevertheless, it was not only until today that there was a clue of his whereabouts. When she heard that, she was happy... until she listened further about what happened. She wanted to go on a rampage, but it was not going to help, instead, she waited for more detailed information. Once she got it the young woman moved. Arriving here was not pleasant as many people tried to stop her so she... just stormed in.

In the end... she found this when she arrived.

"I-isn't that bad-d? She looks very pissed!"

"Of course it is bad, you dumb*ss. Someone stall her! I will ki-"

"...kill? I see. So this is all about. You are not just bullies who ganged on hitting a helpless child for fun, you wanted to take things further. I see. You are all bad. So... I do not need to hold back!". Following her words, the surrounding air got colder and colder. Raising her small staff, the young woman just pointed it in front of her, and as if to follow her command, spikes of ice burst around the beat-up youkai.

"I-I think w-we should run-n!!"

"Do you think she would let us? Haaah, I thought this was going to be my lucky day..."

Prisoners frightened voices and complaints were heard.

"At least we won't have to take care of the prisoners now. It seems she will at least be of some use"

"Indeed, I wonder if we should finish the kid while she is busy dealing with the others"

"Isn't that asking to be killed? We should leave the prisoners do it in our stead"

"She wouldn't harm us. They are criminals so it fine to erase one or two of them. And if she goes overboard... It is not our problem"

The wardens seemed nonchalant, they were not expecting to be attacked. Their minds were into ending the child's life.

The more she listened to, the more her anger raised.

"All of you... Just <Freeze>". Muttering simple words, the young woman did not seem to be trying to cast magic, although what happened next...

Starting from those near her, they first feel the temperature lowering at an incredible speed and then... they felt nothing more. In just seconds they became ice statues. The same occurred to the people next to them, and then to those next to them, regardless of their identity.

The wardens who were not expecting this did not even have time to raise objections as they became ice statues before they could.

Only one place remained safe. It was at the place where the young youkai laid on the floor.

Taking a deep breath, the young woman tried to calm down her emotions. She had not killed anyone. But it was not out of kindness. Many questions needed to be answered and whether she liked it or not, she needed them for that. Their futures will be decided after they say what it is needed to know.

Hastily walking to the pickup, her little sister's friend. She saw him trying to stand up, only to fail and fall back. Such a sight brought her immense sadness. Picking him up, she held him carefully.

"S-sera-tan?". Muttering weakly, the child mumbled.

The young woman blinked in surprise at that, she had never met him so she did not expect to be called by a nickname and much lesser to hear that subfix attached to it. But she did not dislike it. She would like her little sister to call her like that too.

Shaking her head, she stood up and prepared to bring the child away.

∆ Part 4

Blurry as it was, my eyesight caught something.

At some point, the prisoners stopped. I wondered briefly why that happened but I was surprised when spikes of ice rose around me. My first thoughts were that it was an attack, but no harm came to me.

Seconds later, I stopped hearing noises.

I took a breath at that... it seemed that help arrived. Although I was not sure who came. To take care of things so easily that person had to be considered powerful.

Footsteps were heard and I tried to stand up to see who my Savior was. I must say, I tried.

Failing miserably when I tried to stand up, I stopped when I felt a pair of arms holding me up and the feeling of being held against someone's ċhėst. The soft sensation was a sharp contrast with all I had been feeling before. Although I was not able to fully enjoy it as I could hardly feel my body.

Raising my head to finally see who I owned my safety... I thought that I must've been hit pretty hard. Because what I think I saw was an angel. No, I blinked my eyes to focus more and...

"S-sera-tan?". I unconsciously mumbled in a weak voice.

I sure was not expecting her of all the people to come here.

Not an angel, but a devil. No, one of the Four Maou, the Maou Shoujo came to save me. Serafall Leviathan... Sera-tan.

Ah, I blurted that nickname. I wonder if she did not like... it.

I think that now... that the pressure, is gone... my body is relaxing. The exhaustion is kicking in.

What a shame, I won't be able to enjoy this rare event where Sera-tan holds me in her arms. I was always a fan of her...

Too... bad.

~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~

In a studio, inside a castle rather difficult to reach, were two individuals discussing certain topics.

"...You should know that I left my position to a younger generation. Even if you tell me about it...". Spoke a man in a dignified tone of voice.

The only other individual inside the studio did not change his expression even when he was being told that. After all, Sirzechs expected such a thing.

"Just take a look at this, and you can decide whether to lend a hand or not". Said Sirzechs as he handed a file to the man.

Not taking the file immediately, the man, Zekram had a feeling that he should take a look. But at the same time, he could feel that reading that would change many things.

In the end, he took it and began reading.

His face, having remained calm and composed for a long time... changed.

"...Very well. This is an issue serious enough to consider your words. Although I do have a few conditions". Said Zekram

Blinking in surprise, Sirzechs was surprised how easily he agreed. Although he did not say he will help. The man in front of him did not outright deny his request. Narrowing his eyes warily, he wondered what this man would want in exchange. He said he had conditions.

"What kind of conditions?". Asked Sirzechs.

"...I want to meet these two children. And about how you plan to deal with their involvement, I wish that you include me when you are about to decide what to do". Replied Zekram.

"I won't allow any harm to befall on them. They had enough". Instantly said Sirzechs fearing for their safety.

"Worry not. I have no interest in harming them. Even if I had, I wouldn't ask you to bring them to me". Calmly spoke Zekram.

Those words did not put Sirzechs at ease.

"Why?". Asked Sirzechs.

"I just want to talk, only that". Zekram replied.

Sirzechs did not exactly buy it, but in the end, the man in front of him could arrange a meeting with Nora and Kuroka without the need to go through him. It could be called an act of goodwill and trust that he is using such around way to do this.

"They had a bad time, so if you could give them sometime before the meeting happens...". Spoke Sirzechs.

"I understand. I am in no rush". Concluded Zekram.

The discussion stopped at this point, Zekram Bael did not speak another word so Sirzechs had no choice but to leave. And wait for a reply.

Having said his last words to Sirzechs, Zekram remained silent until the former left.

"What a terrible thing to happen right under my nose. I wonder if resigning from my position was not the right choice. Still, I did not expect to hear from her again, even if her body was used in an experiment. *sigh* That child... his life will be full of difficulties, well, that is if the experiments were successful". Muttering a little melancholic, Zekram did not say anything more, staying seated with his eyes closed.

Memories of the past filled his head. Memories about her. His mood sank the more he recalled, and how she ended up. Her dream was never archived, no, their dream. Now, an opportunity had presented itself. It was not like they had expected it... but it would still be what they sought back then.

His mood was complicated, yet, he had things to take care. There were things he could not tolerate. And while Sirzechs had been here, he hid it, but he was angry. To use her body like that. It was not something he could forgive.

Well then, How are you doing guys? Good day to you.

With this we are done with the prison.

At the end, She appeared. Although she did not get much screen time.

I always liked her character. Sera-tan could have more appeareneces in the Canon. Yet because of her position she was tied up to not do too much.

Anyways.

I must inform you that Koneko, Ravel and Akeno will be added to the harem for sure. Serafall too. Well, there is one more character, but since it will be a long way until she appears I won't mention her.

Now, talking about the harem...

*Sigh*

There is something that I would like your opinion on. I... like maids. Too much. I think you know what I am trying say here. Yes. Grayfia.

I originally was not going to add her, but... I like maids and her character is cool from my point of view.

So this is where I have problems with.

So far, in the story I have made her Sirzechs' wife. Do you guys think it would be better to just go over my chapters correcting that and only making her his Queen or leaving it like that. My original idea for the plot include a lot of differences from the actual canon. And his relationship with the devils will have more than meets the eye.

Recall that none of the Maous will be exactly like the Canon... that said. What do you guys think?. I would really like to add her to the Harem.

There are two choices I have.

Leaving it as it is! Will be the choice to leave everything as it is and going with my original idea, plus some minor changes to add her.

Change the content! Will be about erasing everything I have written that makes them to be a couple.

Sorry if this disappoints you. I have been thinking hard about the plot, and many ideas I get sometimes make it hard to decide what to write.

Good day to you....
