Chapter 04: Consequences - Three House Summit

[ Makai, Lilith (Capital of the Satan Territory), Grand Hall ]

Azazel, the Governor-General and Leader of the Grigori, held back a weary sigh.

Once a pacifistic Angel many centuries ago from the Fifth Heaven, he was the lead researcher on Sacred Gears. Despite being rather laid-back, he was (and still is) a charismatic and endearing leader, who properly led his colleagues. Even for an Angel, he was very compassionate, doing whatever he could to help those in need.

What got him and his followerings kicked out of Heaven was his fondness for breasts, with the final straw being caught having an orgy in the Human World. As punishment, he and his followers became a Fallen Angel from their creator, God of the Bible.

It was after that incident that he needed to lay low, which led him to the only Omega-class Devil in history: the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, and his wife, Eva. One thing led to another, and he ended up being trained by the powerful Devil and the female half-Angel, as well as becoming one of his most trusted friends. All the ass-kickings led to progress, and years later, Azazel was strong enough to protect his fellow brethren from the Angels and Devils. Shortly afterwards he created the Grigori, the Fallen Angels' organization, in an unclaimed territory in Makai far from the Devils, and became its Governor-General.

Despite him and his fellow brethren getting kicked out of Heaven, his greatest shame was losing so many of his people during the Great War. In the battle between the Three Factions, the Fallen Angels were the ones that took the most damage, and were the first to retreat due to Azazel desperately trying to keep them alive.

Ironically enough, when he looked back, it was most likely the Two Heavenly Dragons that saved his kind. When the said dragons entered the battlefield, the three sides briefly came together to fight back against the two terrible beasts, with the leaders of the factions destroying their bodies, and sealing their souls into Sacred Gears. It was due to this event that prompted Azazel and the Grigori to renew their research into Sacred Gears, creating the first Artificial Sacred Gear, along with other similar artifacts.

The Great War ended with the death of the God of the Bible and the original Four Satans. Now that he thought about even deeper, this was also the reason why his kind still existed to this day, since with the war being concluded, the Three Factions had formed a shaky truce, with all sides mutually unwilling to continue fighting due to their enormous loss. While this did not mean their hostilities had vanished, outright battles had at least grinded to a halt, save for the occasional conflicts over the countless millennia.

The Great War took place many millennia ago, but to this day, it still felt like yesterday when he helped bring down the Two Dragons. It was honestly hard to believe even right now that he was at the Three House Summit, sitting in the council chambers peacefully (relatively speaking) with the rest of the Devil hierarchy, talking about matters that concerned the Devil race as a whole.

Along with the small legion of Grigori soldiers, he had Raynare and Kalawarner by his side. Mittelt could've come, but she was bedridden after the incident due to a short-tempered female Uzumaki. Dohnaseek would've also been here as well (in chains, that is), but he was quite busy being in a coma.

Getting beaten to a bloody pulp by the Uzumaki twins, followed by getting incinerated by the Power of Destruction and Holy Lightning the following day tends to do that.

Azazel sighed, sitting lazily in his chair, his feet propped up on the table in front of him. This earned him disapproving looks, but he didn't care. Just because he was invited doesn't mean that he was going to conform to their standards. Being trained by his old friend Sparda, Azazel was strong enough to fend off one of the Four Satans. Besides, he was mainly in the Three House Summit for curiosity, and would have declined the invitation if he so wished.

The Three House Summit was overseen by the Devil Council consisting of old Advisors and headed by the Four Great Satans: Lucifer, Beelzebub, Leviathan, and Asmodeus; and participated by the Houses of Gremory, Sitri, and Phenex.

There was Sirzechs of the House of Gremory, who holds the title of Lucifer, is one of the leaders of the Four Great Satans, who is in charge of Domestic Affairs. Holding the equally sought out title of being Grayfia's husband, he is the source of envy for many demons of both sex. With his handsome face, crimson hair, and blue-green eyes, his looks seemed to outshine his black and golden armor on his upper chest.

Then there was Ajuka of the House of Astaroth, who currently holds the title of Beelzebub, is the Chief Advisor for the Technology Department. He is the creator of the Evil Piece system and the Rating Games, making him another legend amongst demons. Much like his friend Sirzechs, his beauty and his intelligence is another source of envy for devils everywhere, with his slicked-back green hair matching his green robes. His light, blue eyes would seemingly pierce the darkness, giving hope for others, while inspiring fear to his enemies.

Third on the hierarchy of importance in the council was the one that holds the title of Leviathan, Serafall of the House of Sitri. Despite her appearance as a young woman with black hair tied into twin tails, pink eyes, and with a child-like body with contradicting large breasts, she is in charge of Foreign Affairs, and has her own TV show. While she usually dons on a magical girl outfit, which further adds to her childlike appearance, she was currently wearing her formal attire, which consisted of a dark, green dress shirt with a long, pink tie, followed by a black skirt, black stockings, and brown shoes.

Finally, there sat Falbium of the House of Glasya-Labolas, who is the wielder of the title of Asmodeus. Despite being in charge of MIlitary Affairs and being the greatest tactician in Makai, he is known to also being a lazy sloth. A tall man with a bald head and a goatee on his chin, he was in a black and silver armor with a purple cape. He looked absolutely bored with this meeting, which wasn't new to those that knew the devil.

The heads of Houses sat on the sides from where the Four Satans were, with the Gremory's and Azazel's group on one side, and Phenex and Sitri on the other. Lord Zeoticus Gremory and Lady Venelana Gremory, Lord Fuegis Phenex and Lady Layla Phenex, and Lord Caenum Sitri and Lady Sera Sitri headed their own tables. Grayfia was at the Gremory table, next to Venelana's [Queen] who Venelana brought with her. Riser was sulking at the Phenex table, with his [Queen] Yubelluna and Ravel looking nervous. Sona was at the Sitri table, alongside her [Queen] Tsubaki.

Sona Sitri was also Kuoh Academy's Student Council President, and the fourth most popular girl at the school, just behind Rias, Akeno, and Naruko in that order. She was a young, bespectacled woman with black hair in a short bob cut, violet eyes, and a slim figure, which was covered by her Kuoh Academy school uniform. Like Rias, she is an heiress to her House when their older siblings became Satan. As mentioned previously, she was the President of her school organization, her Pawn had a Dragon-type Sacred Gear, with their respective [Queens] being former members of important clans in the supernatural world.

'Everyone of importance is here…' Azazel thought, feeling the nervousness of the three Fallen Angel girls. 'But I never thought Venelana-chan would bring her [Queen] here.'

Venelana's [Queen] was as beautiful as her master. She had thickly braided, bow-adorned, scarlet hair, with brown eyes, fair skin, and a voluptuous body with J-cup breasts. She also wears two U-shaped earrings (one on each ear), wears red lipstick, and has a large witch's hat on her head. Her attire was a risqué version of the typical witch's garb, having a diamond-shaped opening that exposed a portion of her breasts, and a heart-shaped pattern around the borders. It extends down to the navel of her stomach where it meets a large angular scar, is draped over by a dark-colored cape with a light-colored inside and two medallion gold-like ornaments, and is held together by a golden chain. Additionally, she wore an elongated black loincloth, and black thigh-high boots with heels.

'The Dragon Witch Queen, Irene Belserion…' Azazel sighed before eying one group in particular. 'We better start soon, lest the Gremory girl faints on the spot. She looks exhausted.'

Unlike her fellow, fresh-looking Devils Sona and Riser, Rias Gremory looked like Hell, pardoning the pun. The hastily-applied makeup barely hid the bags beneath her dull, lifeless eyes, her beautiful, crimson hair having lost some of its luster. She looked as if she barely got any sleep, and looked as if she was on the verge of crying. Overall, it was clear to see that she wanted to be anywhere but where she was now.

A mere shell of her former self, the rest of her peerage were concerned and were on high alert, since their King was currently unable to properly defend herself. Her [Queen] Akeno looked the same, save for the smaller bags forming below her bloodshot eyes, also indicating a lack of proper sleep. She also seemed to be on edge, looking ready to snap at any moment at the drop of a pin. Thankfully, Ram and Rem were on either side of the group, watching over them dutifully.

Sirzechs sighed upon seeing the state of his dear little sister, before turning to the others. "Right, now that we're all here, let us begin-"

"Hold on a minute!" Azazel said, raising his hand. "If I may, Lord Lucifer?"

"What is it now, Azazel?" Sirzechs asked dryly. Some of the Devils in the room looked annoyed by the interruption, whereas Raynare and Kalawarner looked nervous. "The sooner we start, the quicker we can leave, right?"

Azazel smirked, before looking upwards at the rafters and large metal pipes hanging from the ceiling. "I see you guys decided to join us after all!"

Alarmed, the others quickly looked up at the rafters. Upon a closer look, they saw several individuals sitting lazily on the pipes and planks, with the most notable ones having blonde hair, whisker-marks, and glowing blue eyes that looked down at the meeting with annoyance.

"Well gee, thanks asshole!" Naruko growled while hanging upside down.

"Ah! It's Naru-chan and Naru-chan!" Serafall squealed, and waved at them. "Hi~!"

"What?!" Akeno stood up in shock, staring at her childhood friends.

"How did they-?" Grayfia wondered, before scowling at Azazel. "You told them, didn't you?"

Azazel smirked as he shrugged. "I might have mentioned it in passing."

"Might, he says." Naruto countered, flipping him off. "How cute, dattebayo."

"I was trying to keep them out of it. Ah well." Sirzechs sighed in resignation and shouted up at them. "Is Mio and Myuu with you two?"

In response, the twin tailed girls popped their heads from behind the planks.

"Hi, Sirzechs-sama." Myuu greeted, laughing nervously. "Excuse us for the intrusion."

"Oh-ho! Oppai!" Issei suddenly yelled, pointing at the two twintailed girls. "And two beauties!" he added towards Rin and Sakura.

"Geh!" Rin grunted, unnerved by the perverted look on Issei's face. "That's the so-called Harem King? No thank you!"

"Mio and Myuu!" Koneko whispered, looking confused. "But why?"

"That's fine. I was going to visit and tell you all something important. Now that you're here, please stay after we've concluded here." Sirzechs told them.

"Got it!" Mio replied, while sharing a nervous look with Myuu.

"Wait, why is Mio-chan and Myuu-chan with Naruto and Naruko?" Akeno asked, narrowing her eyes before noticing the other girls. "And who are they?!"

"We're-" Hinata started to say before Satsuki covered her mouth.

"Later!" she hissed at her.

"I will inform you afterwards, Akeno." Sirzechs said, before adding, "And I suggest you focus, Riser. Whatever problems you have with the twins, save it for later."

Riser was glaring at the twins above. He huffed in defiance, before returning his focus on the meeting. Ravel looked wearily at the twins, remembering how most of her Peerage-mates were dismantled by their power in the previous Rating Game. Yubelluna, however, looked as if she didn't want to be in the same room as the twins, shivering badly at the memory of her defeat.

"Ne ne! Why don't you all come on down?" Serafall asked brightly to the twins above. "It can't be any fun being up there!"

"We're good!" Naruto said, waving his hand. "Continue on."

"Now that won't do, children. Come down immediately." Venelana suddenly called to them, making the twins sweat. "You don't have to be with any particular group. Let us see you."

"..."

"Ten, nine, eight, seven-"

"All right, all right, we're coming! Geez!" Naruko squeaked quickly, with Naruto groaning loudly.

A few moments later, Naruto and Naruko used gravity spells and dropped down, followed by Mio and Myuu, Hinata and Satsuki, then Rin and Sakura. Kuroka wasn't with them, due to still being the Underworld's Most Wanted SS-class criminal. She still needed to have her name cleared by the twins' investigation before coming out into the open.

"Good." Venelana said with a smile as the twins' group walked towards Azazel's table. "You can introduce us to your friends afterwards." She said, eying Hinata, Satsuki, Rin, and Sakura. "We've already stalled long enough."

As for Rias, a little spark of light returned to her eyes upon hearing her beloved twins' names. She looked over, tears flowing from her eyes to see the twins. She wanted to call out to them, but she couldn't. Memories of her failures and regret came to the surface, causing her to choke up, missing the quick glance the twins gave her.

"Rias, please." Akeno murmured, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Focus on the meeting for now. We can try and speak to them later."

Rias sniffled and nodded, wiping back her tears.

"Hey, you!" Issei suddenly shouted, with Kiba holding him back. "Get over here and apologize to the President, or I'll make you sorry!"

Naruto stopped, gave him a deadpan stare. His hand twitched, as if summoning Brynhildr. He decided against it and responded with a middle finger, making the Red Dragon Emperor steam and struggle against Kiba. The blond snorted, before joining his sister and their Peerages at Azazel's table.

"Knock it off, Issei! Now's not the time!" Kiba hissed at him, keeping him back. "Your actions are embarrassing the President!"

Issei growled, but relented, jerking his arm away from the swordsman. Kiba scowled at that motion and shook his head.

"Your control over your Servants leaves much to be desired, young Gremory. Same as you, young Phenex." One of the elders stated, looking at the young Devils with disapproval. "Out of the three of you, young Sitri is doing a better job."

Sona looked away with a neutral expression. She knew it wasn't something to take pride in, given the circumstances. Right now, she was more troubled by Rias's behavior. As a childhood friend of Rias's, she knew that she was very close to Akeno and the twins, so losing the golden twins was a huge blow to her. Considering her investigations and the Rating Game she watched alongside her [Queen] Shinra Tsubaki, the event had broken her friend/rival. And now there was this meeting, and from the sound of it, the higher-ups were not happy with how things have transpired from the reports.

"If we're done with the formalities, shall we begin?" Ajuka asked wearily before whispering to Sirzechs. "Oi, aren't those two Angels?" He whispered, looking at Hinata and Satsuki. "I don't see their halos."

"Yes, but since they're with the twins, it's alright as long as they don't cause trouble." Sirzechs whispered back, before saying. "Rias. Sona. Step forward please?"

The two heiresses stepped to the front, with Sona striding forward and Rias shuffling her feet. Sona looked up at the Satans in confusion, while Rias was looking down, unwilling to look into the eyes of those that run Makai.

"When one looks at the surface, you two have done well in retaining your shared territory of Kuoh Academy, despite a few hiccups. However, we do have questions stemming from your reports, as well as issues that nearly completely compromised our world." Sirzechs recited, with the reports in front of them and the other Satans. "Starting with the Fallen Angels' invasion of Kuoh Academy, in your territory."

Raynare and Kalawarner shook like maracas, while Azazel sighed loudly at that.

"Like I keep telling you all, it wasn't supposed to be an invasion." He grumbled, sinking into his chair.

"Yet as the leader of the Fallen Angels, they are your responsibility regardless." Ajuka shot back, causing Azazel to mope.

"He's not wrong." Satsuki grinned to the side.

"I do have one question: How are they still alive? I thought the bastard and Naruko-chan dealt with them?" Issei whispered while glaring at Raynare and Kalawarner.

"Obviously we'll find out soon." Koneko growled at him, resisting the urge to deck the boy for calling Naruto a bastard again. "So shut the hell up and listen, pervert."

Raynare noticed Issei glaring at her, and returned the favor right back with an unamused death glare. She was about to say something when Naruto elbowed her, making her pout.

Sirzechs sighed. "Back on track, please. Sona, according to your report, you discovered the presence of Fallen Angels for a while now. So how is it that Rias discovered their existence a couple weeks later? Why haven't you informed her the moment you found out?"

Rias perked up at that and stared at Sona in shock and confusion.

"Because I wanted to get my facts in order. My own report stated that I only suspected there were Fallen Angels in Kuoh Town. I needed to investigate further so resources would not be wasted. And…" Sona adjusted her glasses and looked at Rias. "I didn't want Rias or I going on a wild goose chase if my suspicions were wrong."

"I see. Understandable." Sirzechs nodded and turned his attention to his little sister. "Rias, when you found out about the Fallen Angels yourself, why haven't you informed Sona about this?"

Rias flinched and looked away. "Sona managed the daytime affairs, and I handled the night, in which that was the time the Fallen Angels were more active. I didn't want to trouble Sona with it, especially when they weren't targeting us. I thought my Peerage and I could deal with it if they did."

"So basically, you were going to leave them alone unless they threatened one of you?" Sirzech gaped at her and shook his head. "Oh Rias…"

"That's so dumb." Raynare facepalmed and mumbled. "I was literally disguised as a student from a school nearby…in the daytime…in your territory!"

"Just because we're Fallen Angels, doesn't mean that we have the same weaknesses as you Devils." Kalawarner muttered under her breath. "I mean, if it was another threat, you would be putting your clients in danger."

"Regardless, you two should really focus on communication." Ajuka said dryly. "Fallen Angels are a big deal with the ceasefire and all."

"That's right!" Serafall agreed reproachfully. "You do have each other! Especially you, Rias-tan! Sona-tan there to help you with whatever you need! Work together with her!"

"Calm yourself, Serafall." Sirzechs chided the Leviathan.

"Mou, onee-san." Sona mumbled, looking embarrassed.

"Well that explains the lack of rush towards that issue." Naruto muttered to his group. "It wasn't that she was ignoring us - she had no intention of confronting them completely."

"Yeah. But Rias was suddenly interested when…oh." Naruko groaned and glanced at Asia. "Goddammit. That explains it."

"Explains what?" Myuu inquired, looking from Naruko to Asia.

"Later." Naruko whispered back.

"Continuing on…" Sirzechs said as he flipped a page. "It's concerning how you acquired your only [Pawn]. But first," He turned to Azazel. "What was your interest in young Issei?"

Azazel sighed and ruffled his hair. "You know me. I research and keep tabs on Sacred Gears. I received a powerful reading, and sent a scout to investigate. The report came back with a reading that he might be holding a powerful Sacred Gear. I was intrigued, so I ordered Raynare here to only observe the kid since Kuoh Town was Devil territory. She did, but…" He glanced in amusement at a sweating and embarrassed Raynare. "Under no circumstance did I order his execution. I only wanted to know what Sacred Gear he had, and I couldn't do that if he was dead."

"I see." Sirzechs nodded with narrowed eyes at Raynare. "So why did you kill him?"

"Raynare, would you care to tell the good man?" Azazel asked, a little mischief in his eyes.

Raynare felt small. "I…well…" She sweated bullets as all eyes were on her now, and swallowed. "Trust me, I did not want to kill the kid-."

"Then why did you?!" Issei shouted at her. "How could you do-"

"BECAUSE I HAD NO CHOICE, YOU USELESS WASTE OF SPACE!" Raynare shrieked with sharp teeth, dropping all nervousness and was quite pissed at the Red Dragon Emperor interrupting her. "I wasn't supposed to make contact with you! I received an order to kill you from Azazel-sama, only to find out later that the order didn't come from him! I ended up blackmailed by that asshole Dohnaseek to do Kobabiel's bidding, and I was cut off from Azazel-sama! So fuck off!"

"Calm down!" Kalawarner scolded her as she held her back.

"...I think she really hates him." Sakura giggled, shifting from her 'Dark' form and back again.

"We were both set up." Kalawarner clarified, applying a sleeper hold on Raynare. "I too was on a mission that was given to me by Azazel-sama, only it wasn't from him. And it wasn't just the two of us."

"Those were some within my inner circle that don't share my appreciation for Sacred Gears, especially those that aren't wielded by our fellow Fallen Angels. It was because of this incident that I learned that one of my Cadres Kobabiel had betrayed me, using his own personal followers to undermine my authority." Azazel explained directly to the Satans, who looked concerned.

"So the warmonger of the Grigori finally had enough of you." Sirzechs surmised, knowing the mentioned Fallen Angel quite well by reputation. "Should we be concerned?"

Azazel grimaced. "I tried to have him detained when I called him out, but he got away after the whole incident. Once we locate him, he'll be dealt with."

"He's probably sent you guys to capture him." Satsuki whispered to the twins.

Naruto snorted. "Only if he's stupid enough to show."

"So what did you want with me?" Issei questioned, a scowl on his face.

"Simple my boy. To see what Sacred Gear you had, and what your intentions were at the time. Nothing more, nothing less." Azazel replied lazily and waved him off. "We'll talk more some other time."

Issei bristled and waved his fist at the Fallen Angel. "Wait, we're not finished-!"

"Quiet, Issei!" Akeno suddenly yelled, her eyes burning into him and making him blanch. "Sorry." She added, quickly bowing to the Satans.

"So much for decorum, eh Sirzechs?" Ajuka chuckled with a bit of snide.

"Right." Sirzechs sighed before continuing, focusing on his little sister. "Rias, Akeno, how did you come to know about Issei and his Gear at the time?"

Seeing that Rias was suddenly in no condition to speak, Akeno spoke up. "When the Fallen Angels came around, we suspected they were after someone in town. It is well known that they had an interest in Sacred Gears." She paused to shoot a glare at Azazel, who just held his hands up in mock surrender. "Then, Koneko-chan sensed that one of the students had a dormant Gear. And that student turned out to be Issei."

"I only knew because I punched him and his friends out of the girls' locker room." Koneko added in annoyance. "They were hiding out in one of the lockers for their usual activities." She growled at the last part.

"I already apologized for that." Issei whined with a comedemic teary face.

"It means nothing when you keep doing it." Koneko countered coolly.

"We suspected that Issei was holding a powerful Gear, so we had Yuuto, Koneko, Naru-" Akeno casted a quick glance at the twins. "Naru-kun and Naru-chan keep tabs on him."

"Without an explanation to any of us." Naruto clarified, with Koneko and Kiba nodding in agreement. "We weren't told about his Gear or about the Fallen Angels until after Rias revived him."

"Interesting strategy." Falbium spoke with a raised eyebrow. "And he was killed by young Raynare there. So where were your pieces at the time of this murder? And," He raised his hand to silence Akeno. "I want young Rias to answer."

Akeno flinched and looked worryingly at Rias, who was shaking.

"Rias, answer the question." Zeoticus said, frowning at his daughter from his position.

"They," Rias audibly swallowed. "They all had clients to attend to. I've managed to have my familiar get my flyer to him so that he could summon me. It was given to him a day before his "date" with Raynare. I…never expected Issei to get killed. He was lucky to summon me as he did."

"It shouldn't have happened if you ask me." Ajuka said, propping his head with his arms. "If you knew that he possessed a powerful Gear, and Fallen Angels were flapping about, one would obviously prioritize in securing him. One doesn't not need to be dead in order to become a Reincarnated Devil."

"Pretty much common knowledge." Mio muttered, with Myuu nodding in agreement.

"That's right! When Sona-tan reincarnated Saji-tan, he wasn't dead! He just joined the student council!" Serafall added, causing Sona to groan in embarrassment. "I say the way you've gotten your [Pawns] was the complete opposite of each other!"

"Nevertheless, it is still in bad taste." Falbium drawled, flipping through some paper. "And considering what we know about your [Pawn], reining him in was a simple task unto itself. Something about…desiring a harem?"

"He and his buddies were pretty open about that, dattebane." Naruko quipped in annoyance. "Too open to the point of cringe."

"Aw come on- Naruko-senpai"

"Indeed." Riser spoke up with a nonchalant hand wave. "He even cried upon seeing mine." He sneered as a shot to the Red Dragon Emperor.

"I'll make you cry like I did at your party you-!"

"Riser and Issei, that is enough." Sirzechs cut around them sharply. "That will come later, so settle down. Any additional outbursts will result in punishment. Understand?" At their nods, Sirzechs continued. "Good. Now then, onto the incident at hand. Not only were there three Fallen Angels in your territory, but a Stray Exorcist as well, which leads to Asia here."

"Shame. I'll save my questions about his Pieces for later." Ajuka muttered so only his fellow Satans could hear.

Asia flinched as all eyes were on her now. She panicked as she looked around for support, not expecting the attention to be on someone like her. Worse, they were now on the subject of the individual that she originally came to Kuoh with; someone she still has nightmares about. She then jumped when Raynare loudly pretended to puke, drawing attention to her instead.

"Freed Sellzen." Azazel said, looking irked as he folded his arms. "From what I've recently learned about him, he was one of many test-tube babies from the Sigurd Institution, an organization with the Church. Their goal is to create a descendant of Sigurd who can properly use the Demonic Sword Gram. Freed was one of them, and he didn't turn out so well, making him a wanted criminal."

Naruto stared at him and scoffed. "Well, that explains a lot. He must have been one of the more defective ones. The Church must be desperate for a wielder of Gram if they made someone like him."

"No wonder Kokabiel fancied that battle-manic psychopath." Kalawarner growled, her eye twitching at the unpleasantness of the man in question. "He never believed in God, making him more of a fake exorcist on top of being a Stray. He was forced on us by Kokabiel to make sure we follow his will and get the job done."

"We never wanted him around, especially after what he tried to do to Asia-chan." Raynare growled out. "He even tried to get sex out of me just because he saved me from the Gremory Heiress. He's disgusting and vulgar! The sooner he's dead the better-!"

"Raynare, calm down." Azazel chided her before she went on a rant. "You can get your revenge later."

Raynare huffed and turned her head away. Right now, she wanted to be next to Asia, a girl she considered her little sister. When she saw her distressed, she purposefully made those puking sounds to ease the attention off her.

Falbium shook his head before reading off a file. "The first recorded encounter with him was after he killed Issei's client. He assaulted and wounded Issei, and even his assistant Asia at the time. Rias and the rest of her Peerage arrived, only to pull Issei out when Fallen Angels started to converge. Rias Gremory, why wasn't the exorcist dealt with before his backup arrived?"

"I wasn't sure of the number of Fallen Angels that Stray Exorcist had coming to his aid, so I made the decision to have everyone retreat before they arrived. Issei wanted to bring Asia with us, but we couldn't because Asia-chan wasn't a part of my Peerage yet." Rias explained, feeling guilty. "My first priority was saving my Peerage."

Raynare growled at her. "Oh how noble of you! Leaving Asia-chan with an obviously unstable asshole! I heard what happened from the filth himself! How he gloated about putting holes in that boy before nearly having his way with Asia-chan! Had Naruto and Naruko not stayed behind, who knows what would've happened!"

"Wait, what?" Rias asked, looking from the twins to Raynare. "Impossible! They came back with me!"

"About that." Naruto said, smiling and rubbing the back of his head. "When you transported us out, my sister and I used a Shadow Clone Substitution to stay behind at the last second. The clones went with you by the way. We tried to kill Freed, but we had to fight off a few Fallen Angels as he slipped away in the portal they made. We secured Asia and kept her at our place, until she wandered off and got captured."

Asia nodded to confirm it was true.

"And the rest is history, with what happened at the Church and all. Next time Sellzen shows up, when I get my hands on him, I'm crushing his fucking skull." Naruko declared, clenching her fist.

"Naruko, language." Grayfia chided the blonde, receiving a sour raspberry in return.

"And so, Naru-tan, Naru-tan, Yuuto-tan, Koneko-tan, and Issei-tan headed off to the Church by themselves to mount a rescue. And Rias-tan and Akeno-tan followed soon after. Still…" Serafall frowned as she leaned forward. "Why wasn't Sona-tan told about this? There's nothing about this in her report!"

"I only learned that that incident was concluded a day after the rogue Fallen Angels met their… demise." Sona said, adjusting her glasses as she side-eyed Raynare and Kalawarner. "During a game of chess."

"Speak of, how are they still alive?! I thought you said you'd kill them after Naruko-senpai knocked them out of church!" Issei said, pointing at Naruto.

"I said we would deal with them, and we did." Naruto replied, giving him the stink-eye.

Akeno narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean by that?"

"A little backstory first before we answer. Some of our clients led us to information about our future targets: the Mugen-Tenshin Ninja Clan, and the Japan-sect Hero Clan." Naruko recited, with Zeoticus and Venelana nodding in understanding; and the Four Satans eyes widening at the name-drops. "One new client in particular summoned the both of us for recreational activities in Tokyo. He was hiding who he was, but he could tell from his restrained power level and personality. That man," she pointed at Azazel. "Was him."

Azazel shrugged nonchalantly. "Guilty as charged."

"Azazel summoned you?! How did he get your seal?!" Rias asked in a panic.

"My main Familiar got lost and he found her. She gave him my flyer." Naruto sighed, rolling his eyes. "When we get summoned to new clients, it's always a risk."

Azazel nodded in agreement. "I just wanted to get a feel for the descendants of Sparda at the time. They called me out on being a Fallen Angel, and I didn't hide anything. I periodically gave them information they need, in exchange for future favors."

Akeno bristled at this. "What did you have them do?! What did you want from them?!"

"To help them, for the memory of my old friend Sparda and their Uzumaki ancestors whom I've known quite well. That and I want to see how far they go with their Sacred Gears. They know this of course." Azazel replied, while giving a thumbs-up to the twins. "If it makes you feel better, I had them around for recreational activities in the Human World."

"We could've told you two, but he summoned us outside of Kuoh; and showed us the seal of Sparda, a mark showing that he could be trusted." Naruko said while summoning a small magic crest with the seal of Sparda. "The question we gained from him was quite generous."

Naruto nodded and took over. "Azazel had summoned us during the whole incident, and we told him what was going on. He was pretty shocked to hear that the Hyoudou brat was killed. Hell, it was so bad that he went back to Makai instead of finishing up a game of Poker. Afterward, he called us while we were storming the church, calling in a favor. He wanted Raynare, Kalawarner, Dohnaseek, and Mittelt alive for interrogation."

"He called just in time, because I almost crushed Dohnaseek's head, and Mittelt was playing the whole of a puny Fallen Angel." Naruko added with a giggle.

Kalawarner groaned and facepalmed. "You threw her through several trees after smashing her in the ground…twice! Not only that, she crashed into me and we went through a nearby building! Even if she wasn't bedridden in the hospital, she'll be too traumatized to come."

"Did you all insult her?" Rin spoke up with a knowing look. "Called her something that doesn't bear repeating?"

Kalawarner sighed in annoyance. "...Yes."

"Well, there you go." Rin smirked and gave the peace sign to Naruko, who giggled.

"And Ray-tan?" Serafall asked, with Raynare gaining a tick-mark at the nickname.

"Uppercutted out of the church while begging for her life." Koneko piped up, causing more tick-marks to form on Raynare. "With Naru-senpai saying they'll deal with her."

"And you have?" Sirzechs asked the twins.

Naruto nodded in confirmation. "We tagged the girls for Azazel to pick up. Despite what we did, they were left in one piece."

"Yeah, with a tree branch up my ass." Raynare growled to herself. "The only good thing was that Asia-chan was revived, I returned to normal, and Kokabiel never got Twilight Healing."

"But you said you wanted Twilight Healing!" Issei accused her. "You literally ripped it out of her-!"

"AND I RATHER NOT REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED WHEN DOHNASEEK DOPED ME, SO SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU-!" Raynare screamed, her eyes turning red and black wings appearing before feeling a chop to the back of her neck. "Ack!"

"Yade yade daze." Kalawarner sighed as she caught her knocked out, swirling-eyed friend. "When Kokabiel gave us the order to take the Sister's Twilight Healing, Raynare put her foot down. She actually turned against Kokabiel's orders until Dohnaseek injected her with something that turned her into someone she's not. She managed to return to normal thanks to Azazel-sama after Naruko-san punched her out of the church."

Azazel nodded and sighed. "It was an experimental serum that brings out the worst, dark impulses of an individual. It came from a Sacred Gear that my R&D department was researching, and after seeing what it did the hard way, I ordered all traces of the serum destroyed so it couldn't be used. Sadly, the one I ordered to dispose of it was buying what Kokabiel was selling."

"I see. Thank you for clearing that up. Plus, the way you describe the serum is similar to another incident we're looking into. That's neither here nor there, but we would like to talk to you about that later." Ajuka said after jolting down some notes. "However, we do have a concern regarding Asia's status with the church prior to her revival. It could mean trouble for us if she was still considered part of the Church and she was revived."

"Hey, what do you mean by-" Issei started to say angrily.

"Asia's Sacred Gear was highly valued by the Church, up until she healed someone who she thought was human. After she healed him, it was later discovered that the man she healed was a Devil. From what I've heard, they figuratively crucified and condemned her like a heretic, and all for her Twilight Healing being indiscriminate when healing. In the end, the Church banished her." Kalawarner explained, and lifted up Raynare. "Raynare learned about it and put the former Sister under her protection. It's probably the reason why Kokabiel blackmailed her."

"Banished, eh? That's fine. If Asia Argento was reincarnated as a Devil while still under the Church's employ, it would've caused problems. Count yourself lucky, Rias Gremory." Ajuka said, the redhead flinching. "You're off the hook for that at least."

"Oi, Naru-nii." Naruko whispered, raising a hand to his ear as she leaned in close. "That story about Asia-chan healing a Devil, only for her to get banished. You don't think…?"

"Shit. It's that prick Diodora Astaroth. It has to be. If so, we got him." Naruto whispered back, looking peeved. "After we're done here, let's get in touch with Saint Alearia tomorrow."

"You know the Church's Maiden of the Sword?" Myuu asked, butting in and looking surprised. "She's a legend."

"Yeah, a legend that the Church doesn't appreciate." Naruto muttered. "Especially after looking into the cases that are similar to Asia's story we just heard."

"Wait a minute. Was Rias interested in Asia because of her Sacred Gear after hearing about it; which is why she finally acted?" Mio asked, wide-eyed.

"Hey Mio-chan, why would you repeat the thing I'm trying to avoid thinking right now?" Naruto growled, eye twitching.

Mio didn't back down. "But still-!"

"Right, now that we got that incident out of the way," Ajuka drawled, with Sirzechs sighing. "Toujou Koneko, Kiba Yuuto…and Naruto and Naruko. Please step forward."

Rias sweated nervously as her Pieces (and former Pieces) looked surprised.

"Wait, shouldn't I be up there?" Issei questioned, confused as he made to move forward. "I mean, the bastard Uzumaki and Naruko-chan aren't with us anymore."

Akeno put a firm hand on his shoulder to stop him. "The Lord Satans did not ask for you. Wait here until you're called upon."

"But Akeno-san-" Issei protested, but winced when Akeno dug her nails into his shoulder. "Akeno-san, you're hurting me!"

"I'll do worse if you don't obey!" She growled, lightning arcing on her hand. "So shut it!"

Meanwhile, a baffled Naruto and Naruko looked at each other, then at a curious Kiba and Koneko. They shrugged and walked from their positions, facing the Satans. At the same time, Sona backed away, figuring that she wasn't needed for now, and gave a curt nod to the twins. They nodded back as Rias shifted back a little. Naruto and Kiba then fistbumped each other, and Naruko patted Koneko's head.

"Yo. Yuuto. Are you doing all right?" Naruto asked, grinning with his fellow blond.

Kiba shrugged. "Not bad. Things have been boring lately without you two around, but we're managing."

Naruto nodded. "Pretty much."

"How are ya, kitty cat?" Naruko cooed, scratching behind her hidden ears.

"Fine." Koneko said and sniffed, narrowing her eyes for a bit. Before Naruko could ask, she gestured over to the others. "New friends?"

Naruko nodded. "Pretty much. We'll tell ya later."

"Now that your reunion is done, we have some questions for the four of you. Before we do, I request that none of you look towards your Rias and Akeno, as I want your honest opinions." Sirzechs said, with the said [King] and [Queen] looking disheartened. "Rest assured that you will not be punished by us or them for speaking your mind. This is more for Yuuto and Koneko than the twins. Are we clear?" The foursome looked at each other before nodding in confirmation. "Good. Now, I have a couple questions regarding Rias's newest [Pawn] Issei. What are your immediate thoughts and assessment on him?"

Naruto and Naruko sweatdropped, with Kiba rubbing the back of his head while Koneko's eye twitched. Issei gaped in shock, looking from the Satans to the others.

"And be honest." Serafall added brightly. "Don't hold back now-"

"He's a pervert who needs to stay out of the girls' locker room.." Koneko instantly answered.

"An annoyance. When he's not perving on boobs." Naruko scoffed. "At least he's able to get to his clients."

"He's not that bad," Kiba said nervously before adding. "He's just too distracted by women's breasts, which hampers his awareness."

"A brat with an unhealthy habit of invading girls' privacies." Naruto added, ignoring the death glare he was receiving. "Also, pure cringe among other things."

"Shut up!" Issei retorted, shaking his fist at him, but winced when he felt a spark of lightning from Akeno.

"Hmph. Says a lot when the others have such a low opinion of-" Riser started to say before getting whack upside the head by his mother. "Oof!"

Issei tried to protest again, but Akeno zapped him again to shut him up.

"Seems that the Boosted Gear always goes to the more interesting individuals." Ajuka noted with a raised eyebrow. "And we have records of reincarnated Dragon-type Longinus users who went on to great things, and held to a high standard. So, how good is this new user? Does he hold up?"

"Aside from having demonic power lower than a child, being barely able to fly, and incapable of teleporting, I say he holds up…as long as he continues to rely on Promotion and his Boosted Gear." Naruto said, grinning as Issei to fume and the Satans to frown.

"Sure, the two weeks training ensured he could fight on par with the fried chicken's Pieces, but apparently his fluke victory against the fried chicken caused him to get a big head." Naruko added, her eye twitching and shrugged. "Guess our former [King] and [Queen] made a great investment and all that, considering the aftermath."

"Rias Gremory." Falbium suddenly asked. "Remind us again, for how long did you have Hyoudou as your [Pawn]?"

"...For a month." Rias answered. "But you must understand-"

Falbium cut across her. "You trained your Peerage for two weeks to prepare for your Rating Game with Riser Phenex. Did his demonic power increase? Can he fly and teleport now?" He asked and eyed Riser, who was listening intently.

Rias was panicking on the inside. She knew that Issei lacked the essentials of being a Devil. She knew this, yet she had her Peerage assist Issei in further unlocking the power of his Boosted Gear. She was so focused on training her newest asset to help her Peerage defeat Riser that she foregone everything (and everyone) else.

"I…I…no." She stuttered, trying hard not to panic. "But he improved enough to-"

"Rias Gremory. Boosted Gear or not, a Devil without their essential skills is not worth an investment. After all, a Gear doesn't not make one invincible. Your brother, as well as the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, are powerful Devils without Gears." Ajuka stated seriously. "Despite that, I do commend your [Pawn] for defeating a [King] despite those setbacks. Thankfully he isn't the Heir to the House of Phenex, otherwise we should be concerned. Nevertheless, it shows complacency on his part."

Riser growled at the jab towards his pride, and growled some more when Naruto and Naruko sniggered.

Ajuka snorted. "But back to your [Pawn], Rias. Considering he has the Boosted Gear, how many Pieces was he worth?"

"Eight Pieces." Rias answered, drawing gasps from most of the older Devils in the room, with Ram and Rem giving her stink-eyes.

Naruko gaped at her. "Oh my god, are you serious?! No wonder Rem and Ram were pissed for weeks!"

"All of them?" Sirzechs asked in disbelief. "You used all of them?!"

"I figured you had to use more Pieces to revive him since Raynare killed him, but all eight?" Ajuka asked incredulously, and shook his head. "In the past, Reincarnated Longinus-users that had either the Boosted Gear or the Divine Dividing acquired two Pieces, and if they died…at least four or five."

There was silence at the revelation, until there was noise at the Phenex table. Riser's breathing was getting uneasy, before turning into giggling. Soon, his giggling turned into full blown uncontrollable laughter; falling off his seat as his laughter turned hysterical. Upon closer inspection, tears were rolling down his eyes as he pounded the floor with his fist.

"Wow Rias. You really fucked up." Naruto growled, running his hand down his face.

"Didn't Sairaorg's [Pawn] Regulaus have 7 pieces?" Naruko whispered in confusion.

"Yeah, but a Spirit is different from a Human. Dead or alive it'll cost more than a Human, especially since he's the Spirit of Sairaorg's Scared Gear." Naruto whispered back, before spotting Azazel muttering to himself.

"Maybe that's why…" He whispered to himself, with Raynare and Kalawarner looking at him in confusion. "...With his Dragon Aura and all…"

"Rias Gremory, have your [Pawn] come to my lab for examination tomorrow." Ajuka said wearily, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"What?! But I have a get-together with my buds! Can't that wait?" Issei asked, looking frantic.

"No." Ajuka replied curtly, amused by Issei's reaction. "Tomorrow's just another day. I'm sure your friends can wait for that wank-off party."

"But…" Issei whined, looking towards Rias.

"Issei! Lord Beelzabub gave you a direct order, so you are expected to follow it!" Rias suddenly snapped. "Am I clear?!"

Issei yelped and took a step back, seeing Rias furious, tearstained face. He figured that she was in no mood to entertain him and raised his hands. "Y…Yes…President."

"Oh man, Rias. You used all eight of your Pieces? On a human?" Riser wheezed, crawling off the floor. "I don't know what you saw in him, but what a waste! You really were too young to be a [King] like everyone said."

"Even a [King] can make mistakes, like you have when you fought Hyoudou. How amusing that you were the first [King] in history to be defeated by a lesser Piece such as a [Pawn]." Sona shot back, adjusting her glasses as Riser glared at him. "Even with Hyoudou's Boosted Gear and the Holy Water he used on you, you had all the chances in the world to dominate him. But in the end, you failed to capitalize on a victory that was practically on a silver platter. Rias and I made mistakes, but between the three of us, you carry the most shame to the Devil race."

"BURN!" Naruko jeered with a trollish smile.

"That's my little sister!" Serafall cheered. "She's right and you know it!"

"Ha! Take that ya fried chicken!" Issei jeered, pointing at a steaming Riser.

He made a fist, with flames enveloping it. "You…were never supposed to get so far with me! You were only supposed to be just a warm-up for the real fight! If you never showed up, I would've had what I wanted!"

Grayfia winced at that. In reality, Riser had invited Issei to his engagement party to rub in his failure. Sirzechs volunteered Grayfia to retrieve Issei and opened a portal to the party. However Issei caused a ruckus by assaulting the Phenex guards, crashing the party, and challenged Riser for Rias' virginity.

Such is the power of boners.

"Oh yeah? Well I beat you, fair and square! Now I have the President's oppai now!"

Cue the collective cringe that grew faster than a forest of bamboo, with some of the people there groaning. Rias herself buried her hands into her face, muttering curses and wishes that will never come true.

"You lowly [Pawn]. I wasn't talking about dear Rias. I was talking…" Riser pointed towards the current group in front of the Satans. "About him!"

All eyes followed his direction before resting on a certain blonde, who was looking around in confusion.

"...Me?" Naruto deadpanned, pointing at himself. "What the hell did you want with me? I like girls. I'm not interested in you, asshole."

"The feeling's mutual, but after the humiliation you put me through, I promised that no matter what, I'll pay you back!" Riser snarled at him.

Naruto stared a hole at the Phenex. "Why, Riser-san. You sure you want to talk about that particular incident that resulted in said humiliation right here and now? Because I promise that if you don't shut up about it, you might not make it out alive considering who's here." He said with an eye smile.

Riser opened his mouth to retort, but caught himself and sweated when Naruto's words sank in. He felt the stares on his person, partially Sirzechs and Grayfia.

"Wait, what did you mean you were after Naru-kun?!" Akeno demanded, glaring daggers at him.

"I see no reason to answer you, Rias' [Queen]-" Riser snapped back.

"Answer her question, son." Lord Phenex interrupted him. "Did you use the marriage contract between you and Rias to get to Naruto, and why? Last I recall, you two were close friends."

"Used too." Naruko reiterated under her breath. "He became too much of a prick the older we got. Phenex bloodline being superior and all that according to him."

"...Yes Father, I did. Naruto was refusing my request for a rematch after we fought years ago." Riser admitted as he and Naruto exchanged glares. "I used the marriage contract to force his hand."

"After what you did years ago, I wanted nothing to do with you, nor did I want to waste my time even dealing with you. I only took you on years ago because I was bored. I won, you lost, end of story." Naruto growled at him. "I declined your invitations because I was busy with school, clients, and dealing with figures from my past prior to becoming a Devil. You can call me a coward if you want, but I had no time to appeal to your fucking bloated ego."

"It seems that dear Rias had both of you housebroken. During the Rating Game, I was fully expecting the both of you to storm my base by yourselves, yet you followed Rias' strategies. At the party, you had all the time in the world to pick a fight. After all, I was marrying the girl you were in love with." Riser sneered, making Naruto's and Naruko's eyes narrow dangerously. "Instead, you acted like good little Servants and followed her orders in not causing trouble. The real Naruto would have ignored her and punched me out of the room, yet you didn't." He said, getting into Naruto's face. "You didn't have to worry about embarrassing your [King]. I would've welcomed it. But instead, you took a backseat, and allowed Hyoudou Issei to steal your thunder. Perhaps there's a reason why dear Rias preferred her [Pawn] over you."

Akeno seethed at that, lightning arcing off her body. Before she could act, Naruko shrieked in rage and charged at the blonde Phenex, seeing red. Naruto quickly caught her around her middle and pulled her back, with a red-eyed Naruko making clawing motions at the boisterous Phenex like a feral hellcat.

"That may be, fried chicken. But the reason why I stayed my blade at Rias's request was to not cause her anymore trouble; since she was already distressed from having to marry your sorry ass." Naruto explained as he effortlessly held a struggling Naruko back. "Still, don't let that distract us from the fact that you foolishly held back and got TKO'd by a [Pawn]. Good job, by the way. It really nullifies Ravel's claim about you being the strongest there is, especially when she saved your ass."

"Speaking of that," Serafall injected before Riser could snarl back. "Ravel Phenex. Step forward please?"

"Eep!" Ravel yelped, with the attention now on her. She was gently shoved forward by her mother, and she timidly walked forward. "Y-Yes?"

"Why did you upload the Rating Game to your channel on DeviTube? Everyone knew it was a private affair," Serafall said, looking disappointed. "So why?"

"I…well…" Ravel swallowed, feeling the ire from the Gremory's and the disappointment from her family. "I have no excuse. I wanted to share my brother's achievement, to prove that he's the best. I…thought it wouldn't be a problem because I'm a Phenex."

"Well, clearly you weren't thinking. It was unofficial due to it being a family matter between two Houses. And now it's caused trouble for both Houses. The people are starting to question the illegitimacy of the Gremory after Rias's defeat. And since the engagement party was broadcasted to celebrate the union between Rias and Riser at the time, the potential of the new generation of Devils are being questioned as well with Riser's defeat." Serafall explained, with Ravel looking ashamed. "A [King] being defeated by a reincarnated [Pawn], fluke or not, is not a good look."

"Hey, it wasn't a fluke! I beat Riser fair and square!" Issei protested, shaking his fist. "Second time's the charm!"

"That may be, Hyoudou Issei. I admit, I wasn't using my full power and dragged it out as a warm-up for the main event." Riser shot back with a glance at Naruto. "I slipped up, and I own it. Rest assured that if we fight again, there won't be another miracle."

"I'll show you a miracle you-!"

"Ravel-tan!" Serafall raised her voice, cutting across Issei. "What you have done has given ammunition to those who look to tear down the current establishment by going after their supporters, especially the House of Gremory since one of their own is sitting right next to me as Lord Lucifer. It will be a while before the damage can be repaired."

"Rest assured that I am overseeing my daughter's punishment, as well as working with my husband, Lord Gremory, and Lady Gremory regarding reparations for the transgression." Lady Phenex said, with Venelana nodding in agreement.

"Heh, at least Ravel and I aren't alone in being punished." Riser said snidely and waved his hands. "From what I heard, Naruto and Naruko left dear Rias' peerage and striking out on their own."

"What?!" A shocked Sona asked, looking at the twins and Rias. "Why?! What happened?! Rias?!"

Rias was shivering, trying not to meet Sona's or anyone's eyes. Everything the twins said to her days ago came to the surface, causing tears to well up.

"I would like to know as well." Venelana said, causing Rias, and Akeno to sniffen up. "It can't be because of the Rating Game and the end of the engagement party." Now Naruto and Naruko stiffened up at the memory of what happened between Rias and Issei after Riser was defeated. "Naruto, Naruko, I knew your mother. I have seen her act the way you're acting now. When Sirzechs granted your request to depart Rias' peerage, I was surprised. Looking at the way you're acting towards my daughter and Akeno right now, I can't help but think there's more to it."

"I have a feeling it has something to do with her boisterous [Pawn]." Irene said, side-eying Issei.

"I can answer that, Venelana-sama, Irene-san. Last month, I visited Rias to let her know that the council is backing Riser's marriage arrangement with Rias, and he was coming to see her. I suspected that she would try something with the twins, and went to their apartment at the time. She wasn't there, so I enlisted their help in finding her." Grayfia explained, with Rias now flinching and looking down, causing Akeno to frown at her. Grayfia took a look at the redhead before continuing. "They located her at her [Pawn's] place of residence, where she was in his room. She was in nothing but her panties, getting ready to give up her virginity to him in order to break the contract."

There was another deafening silence at the revelation, as Rias hung her head in shame. Almost everyone stared at Rias with varying emotions; despite the fact that Riser sunk down to the ground, howling with laughter again.

"That's nonsense! I love you two to death! You know this! What could've made you think otherwise?!"

"Because Grayfia-san popped in out of the blue, looking for you at our apartment. She was pretty surprised to see you weren't there, much to our confusion. She confessed that the House of Phenex was pushing the engagement, and the House of Gremory folded. She thought you would come to us to lose your virginity to me to annul your marriage with that fried chicken idiot. Imagine our surprise when we tracked you to Hyoudou's place."

"You saw that too?"

"We. Saw. Everything. Like, really, Rias? The fucking perverted brat of all people? Have more respect for yourself, dammit! A girl's first time is sacred, regardless if you're a human or a Devil!"

"I know, but…you're my closest siblings in all but blood! I chose Issei because he was naive and malleable!"

'That's what they meant? Then, that means…By the Satans!' Akeno gasped as she stared at Rias. 'No wonder they were in such a foul mood the day Riser appeared!'

When the twins said that Rias was at the Hyoudou residence, her mind didn't connect the dots due to her anger at them. But now after what Grayfia said, Akeno understood; her anger now replaced by utter shock.

'I can't even imagine…after seeing Issei and Rias together like that…' Akeno was shaking, seeing the twins looking away. 'Now I understand. I'm just as guilty, but Rias…how could you?'

Kiba shook his head. "President Rias, what were you thinking?" he muttered under his breath, understanding the twins' foul mood from before.

Koneko looked utterly disgusted at her [King]. Due to circumstances, she was one of the founding members of Rias' peerage alongside Naruto, Naruko, and Akeno, with Kiba coming in a few years later.

Both knew how close the twins were with Rias, even knowing they were attracted to each other. It made sense that Rias would try and get help from the twins to get out of the contract. But instead of the twins, she went to Issei of all people. Now they knew why this smugness increased. It was no secret that Issei detested Naruto, and Rias coming to him was one-upping him in a way.

Lord Gremory was both shocked and embarrassed, and his fellow Lords with their wives couldn't help but feel pity for him. But right now, Zeoticous was concerned for his surrogate children that were the twins. He couldn't imagine the pain they felt from seeing their love with someone else, especially her [Pawn].

Sona was having difficulty forming words, being shocked along with her [Queen] Tsubaki. She was shaking, pointing at Rias in disbelief. Of all the solutions to handle a situation, THAT was not what she expected Rias to do.

"Wow, that is just pathetic." Satsuki said, narrowing her eyes. "Then again, typical Devil."

"Satsuki-chan…" Hinata whined, not wanting attention drawn to them.

"Didn't know Devils can be that desperate." Rin whispered to Sakura, who was glaring at Rias; her hair slowly turning white again.

"Why you-!" Mio seethed, marching towards Rias until a cold pressure hit the room.

Only one person in the room was neither shocked nor disappointed. In fact, she was quite furious. She closed her fan, creating a shockwave that made everyone jump.

"Rias." Venelana said coldly. "While your [Pawn] is seeing Lord Beelzebub, you shall come to my quarters tomorrow for a talk. No excuses. Understand?"

Rias hung her head in shame. "Yes, mother."

Irene Belserion grinned and adjusted her hat. "You're in trouble now, girl."

Despite everything, the twins pitied their former [King]. All the weight of her actions were crashing down upon her under the eyes of the Four Great Satans and the most important families in Makai. They know of the rumors of people saying that Rias was made a High-Class Devil too soon after passing the qualification test when she was 12. The twins were her defenders, after everything that's happened, they couldn't help but slowly agree.

Meanwhile, the elders were talking quietly to each other.

"It would seem that the ways of this generation's young devils has me worried for the future." one of the elders said, gazing at Rias, Sona, and a still laughing Riser. "After all, they're from our most powerful Houses in Makai."

"Even so, the Gremory girl's former [Knight] and [Rook] are now High-class Devils, just like her. Perhaps there is a future, especially when they carry the blood of Sparda." The other elder said, eying the twins and their guests. "There's also Sairaorg as well, and the twins can stand toe-to-toe with him. There is also Seekvaira Agares, who is doing pretty well for her, so there is hope yet."

"Maybe they can be the new Four Novice Kings?" A female elder whispered. "To bring us to greatness."

"No." Another elder shot back. "They will not replace the ones we have now. Besides, Sparda's descendants will need to prove themselves, and there are others with potential."

"For now, let us see what our Satans will do, and step in when it's necessary."

"It will not be necessary." Sirzechs suddenly rejected, glaring coolly at them. "We are the authority here. Do not overstep your bounds."

"I apologize for my colleagues, Lord Lucifer." The oldest elder said with a bow. "But you cannot blame them for worrying due to the recent actions of these young Devils."

"And they will be handled now. Naruto, Naruko, Yuuto, Koneko, you may step back." Sirzechs said as he stood up. "Rias, Sona. Riser, step forward. Ravel, you stay there."

Kiba and Koneko nodded and walked back to the Gremory table as Naruto and Naruko sighed before flash stepping to Azazel's table, mainly to avoid Rias.

Sona was walking up, until she changed directions, grabbed Rias, and dragged her alongside. Riser just grunted in annoyance as he joined them.

"Oh, that's right." Azazel said, pulling out a file and handing it to Naruto. "I got what you need for your little friend. Look through it, eh?"

"Thanks." Naruto said, and began to read through the files with Naruko over his shoulder.

"Now then, for your punishments." Sirzechs said, eying Rias and Sona. "Rias Gremory. Sona Sitri. You two were given complete control of Kuoh Town as your shared territory, and the Fallen Angel incident is living much to be desired. It should not have taken you a month to deal with them. The both of you had the resources capable of handling the situation, as entrusted by us when you two became High-class Devils, but the both of you have demonstrated a lack of communication and coordination. Despite the incident having a favorable conclusion, you've shown that neither of you are ready to handle a territory…together that is." Sirzechs said as Sona opened her mouth in protest.

"If I may speak for my youngest," Lady Sitri suddenly spoke from the side. "The only reason she wasn't active during the incident is because she wasn't given the necessary updates from Rias. Surely Sona could be given leniency?"

"I concur." Venelana nodded towards her friend. "My daughter Rias should've kept Sona in the loop, no matter what."

"We have noted that. Serafall made sure not to let us forget." Ajuka drawled, as Serafall gave a thumbs-up.

"With that said; Rias, after your handling of the incident, among other things, you are hereby suspended from control of the territory. You and your Peerage are also suspended from taking on new contracts for the time being. Sona will still handle the affairs, but we will assign a Custodian to oversee the both of you. They will advise Sona, as well as determine if Rias is ready to resume her duties with Sona." Sirzechs declared, seeing Sona looking slightly relieved and Rias looked shocked.

"Ouch." Mio said, glancing ar Rias with pity.

"Could've been worse." Kiba mumbled, with Koenko grumbling to herself.

"Wait, we can still do this!" Akeno protested, pleading Rias's case. "Surely routing the Fallen Angels can account for something, right?"

She couldn't let Rias's pride be trampled on so easily.

"Are you sure you want to say that? Especially after that Rating Game?" Ajuka asked in amusement.

Akeno blanched, her next protest caught in her throat.

"Ravel Phenex, we know your parents will handle your punishment. But in addition, the House of Gremory has the option of punishing you however they see fit, should they choose to." Ajuka declared, with Ravel looking as if she was told she was being sacrificed to Cthulhu, with the penalty of being banished to the Void if she refused.

"I have no problem with that." Lord Phenex agreed. "As long as it is within reason."

"I'm sure my wife can think of a few things." Zeoticus chuckled, while Venelana narrowed her eyes at the young Phenex.

"And Riser Phenex. For wasting our resources in using the marriage contract to get to my sister's now former [Knight], as well as wasting everyone's time, you're on probation" Sirzechs said, with Naruto snorting. "Until further notice, you are suspended from upcoming Rating Games, and you and your Peerage cannot take any new clients until further notice."

"...Fine!" Riser huffed in a glare. "A few lost Rating Games and loss of clients won't hurt me that much. It gives me time to train with my Peerage."

Sona raised her hand. "Lord Lucifer, if I may ask, who will be the custodian for Kuoh Town?"

"You'll know when you see them." Sirzechs said, before addressing the young [Kings] in front of him. "Let this be a lesson to you that your actions define you, and will already have consequences. Being [Kings] means you're practically adults, and you're put on a higher pedestal than most so we expect you to be mature in your ways and decisions. Don't be too hesitant if problems arise, don't alienate those closest to you, and do not use deception to get to someone else. Am I clear?"

"Yes, Lord Lucifer."

"Good. This meeting is adjourned."

Riser huffed and walked back to the Phenex table with Ravel behind him. With his parents scowling at him, he 'tched' and looked away, while Ravel was unable to look her mom and dad in the eyes.

"Riser. Ravel. If you're wondering if I am disappointed in both of you, I am." Lord Fuegis Phenex said in a firm voice. "The House of Phenex is strong with our abilities and our Phenex Tears, but they do not make us invincible. Yes, we are a powerful House, but it paints a target on us.. It's not just the Angels and Fallen Angels we have to worry about. There are those in our own race that want our spot as one of the most powerful Houses in Makai. And it's not just us, but the Gremory's and Sitri's as well. Unlike them, we don't have a Phenex as a Satan, and that makes us all the more vulnerable. Mistakes like these can lead to snakes taking advantage. We are lucky that your mother is childhood friends with Lady Gremory and Lady Sitri, so we are safe for now; especially with your brother Ruval's pending promotion to Ultimate-class Devil. Until then, you both still have much to learn, and much to atone for."

"I...understand. I'm…sorry for what I did, Father. I'll do my best to make up for what I did." Ravel said, nearly tearing up. "I'll accept any punishment you give me."

"I apologize as well. Rest assured that once my punishment is lifted, I will restore honor to our family's House." Riser said and turned to Naruto and Naruko. "Starting with him-"

"Enough! I forbid it! I am ordering you to leave Naruto-san and his sister alone. You have already made yourself too much of a fool in pursuing him." Lord Phenex growled, his aura making Riser take a step back. "Your house arrest is only the start of your punishment. I advise closing your mouth before you dig yourself further."

At the same time, Sona was walking towards the Sitri table, before stopping as she passed Rias. "Rias, I want you to know that I no longer consider you my rival. After the way you tried to escape your marriage contract involving Hyoudou, I lost respect for you."

Rias sniffed, wiping her eyes. "I'm not surprised. I would lose respect for me as well."

Sona shook her head. "I can't imagine the pain the twins went through when they saw you with Hyoudou; after the promise between you, Akeno-san, Naruto, and Naruko. I can't blame them, and I would've done the same thing in their shoes." she admitted before walking off. "I suggest cleaning up your act. We may have a custodian watching over us, but I will not tolerate you being deadweight in my territory."

"..."

"Sona. Between you, Rias, and Riser, you're lucky to have gotten off light." Lord Caenum Sitri told his youngest when she was close. "Use this experience to better yourself as a [King], and learn from the mistakes of your peers."

"I understand, Father." Sona nodded, before eying Rias shuffling over to her family.

"Rias, before I say anything," Zeoticus addressed his daughter. "How much do you know about the marriage contract between yourself and Riser?"

Rias looked confused. "Only that I have to marry him for our House. But I didn't want to-" she started to say before her father raised his hand.

"I thought so. Once again, I am very disappointed in you, Rias." Zeoticus said gravely as Venelana glared at her. "Your actions with your [Pawn] and the end of your Rating Game are not becoming of a member of my House. Worse, you have alienated your own Peerage to the point that two of your most powerful Pieces have left you - the same pieces that you grew up with, by the way. I know you have a temper like your mother, but I counted on you to prove the rumors wrong that you were too young to be made [King] after passing the High-class Devil qualification test. And unfortunately, you have proven those rumors founded. You have much to do to redeem yourself, my daughter."

Rias hung her head, ashamed of herself. Ironically, she made her own personal Hell for her decisions.

"But wait! The President did nothing wrong!" Issei interjected, making Kiba and Koneko groan. "It's all because of that bastard over with his smoking-hot sister that she-"

"SILENCE!" Zeoticus boomed, his eyes red with fury. "Know your place, Hyoudou Issei! I am addressing my daughter, NOT you. And that next time you insult my foster son again, I will rip out your Pieces myself and finish what that Fallen Angel started! So hold your tongue!"

Issei squeaked and scrambled back, hiding behind Kiba and Koneko, who were looking away to avoid Zeoticus' glare.

"Truly a foolish boy to mouth off like that." Irene said, her eyes glowing. "Shall I-"

"Irene, heel." Venelana muttered, keeping her [Queen] at bay. "No need to waste your energy on him."

"What a dumbass." Naruko mumbled before returning to the file. "But with this…Naru-nii, you have the other files?"

"Always." Naruto replied, materializing them. "I believe we have what we need to close this case for good…"

"Your mother will not be the only one discussing things with you tomorrow." Zeoticus said, his eyes narrowing. "I will show you the fine print of that marriage contract. Rem and Ram, make sure she comes. Understand?"

"Yes, Lord Gremory." Rem and Ram said, bowing.

"Naruto, Naruko, Mio, Myuu." Sirzechs called over to them. "Come, we need to talk."

"Yeah, so do we." Naruto said, going up with Naruko, Mio, and Myuu following him. "You first."

"Right. We have an update on the situation with the House of Asmodeus." Sirzechs said before turning to his fellow Satan. "It's…not good. Falbium."

"Right, right." Falbium sighed before addressing the group. "Mio, Myuu. Your fathers are dead."

Myuu gasped, her hands covering her mouth. "Oh, no! Father!" she cried, throwing her in the arms of Mio, who was stoned-face.

"H-How…? How did they die?" She tried to say. "Our fathers are the strongest Demon Lords. They couldn't have gone down that easily!"

Falbium grumbled. "They didn't. Details are sketchy, but word is that the opposing side received the services of two supernatural-hunting factions in the Human World. Some Hero Clan in Japan, and a ninja clan called the Mugen-Tenshin?"

Naruko growled at that. "Well, those ring a fucking bell! What the hell are they doing helping their sworn enemies?"

Falbium shrugged with indifference. "We don't know, but that's what happened. The House of Asmodeus is now down to a trickle, but the elders in the House installed a powerful replacement; a war hero named Leohart."

"Wilbert and Galious told me that they transferred their demonic powers into you two, because they knew their betrayers would be after them. And no, it is not the reason for their deaths, for they had more than enough power to fight." Sirzechs assured the two twintailed girls. "It wasn't just the Heroes and ninja overcoming him. It was the betrayal of Leohart, their student, that blindsided them."

"I…see…" Mio growled out, a red aura enveloping her.

"Well well, yet another reason to go after the Hero zeros and Mugen-Tenshin fucks." Naruko said, grinning evilly.

"Don't forget Leohart. He's sure to go after Mio and Myuu for their power." Serafall said with rare seriousness. "You sure you're up to it?"

Naruto nodded. "Well, then it's a good thing that we've made Mio and Myuu our [Queens], so not only do we have a common enemy, we're in for the long haul." He said, grinning as all the attention was on them now.

"That's right! Let then come!" Mio exclaimed, her aura flaring about. "I'll kill them a thousand times over!"

"Oh? You've made the daughters of the Strongest Demon Lords your [Queens]?" Sirzechs asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Seemed appropriate." Naruko said, rubbing Myuu's head. "They didn't complain and neither did we! And we already used some of our Pieces and Cards too."

"That explains the Angels." Ajuka mused, eying Satsuki and Hinata, who were teasing Raynare and Kalawarner. "Anyone else we should know about?"

"Funny you should ask!" Naruto said brightly before setting some files down in front of the Satans. "For your consideration. We have everything we did to set my [Bishop] free."

"Why am I not surprised that you tamed a Stray Devil?" Sirzechs sighed before reading the material with his fellow Satans. "Wait a minute…"

"Oi, isn't this?" Serafall gasped, looking back and forth at the files and the twins in shock.

Naruto turned towards a confused Koneko and winked at her. See this, Venelana sighed, knowing what it was about. Naruko smirked before making a call.

"You Uzumaki truly are unpredictable. All this evidence may help to close a separate case." Ajuka noted as he flipped a page. "Just when I thought you twins couldn't surprise me more. Question: what made you two decide to risk life and limb to go after her at such a young age?"

"Well, everyone said she went mad, yet she left her Peerage-mates and sister alive." Naruto said with a shrug.

"Well, why don't we ask her ourselves? If it's okay with you." Serafall asked brightly, with Sirzechs and Ajuka looking surprised, and Falbium casting a cautionary glance at the curious elders. "You have my word as Leviathan that no harm shall come to her. As long as she behaves, that is, right Sirzechs?"

Sirzechs nodded before asking. "Does anyone else know?"

"Just Vene-kaachan and Irene-san."

"I see. I'm sorry to put you under the same roof as Rias, but I will need you to come to the Gremory Manor with your Bishop. We want to talk with her directly with you in the room. Depending on what we hear, we will allow her to continue being your Bishop, albeit on probation." Sirzechs said, with the twins nodding. "And if things go well, not only will she be cleared, but we'll be close to finishing a case that's been alluding us for years."

"Heh. Devil May Cry is off to a good start, dattebayo." Naruto said, fist-bumping Naruko.

"Finally, what's the deal with those Angels you bought with you?" Ajuka asked, gesturing to Hinata and Satsuki. "Along with your other guests?"

"They're part of our Peerage. We used our Sparda Pieces on Rin and Sakura, and our Eva Cards on Hinata and Satsuki, as well as Raynare and Kalawarner." Naruto informed them.

Sirzechs chuckled. "You've been busy."

"We're barely getting started here. Between you dumping Mio-chan and Myuu-chan on us," Naruto said, with Mio now pulling at his whiskered-cheeks, "this Summit, and now having to visit the manor, we're getting roadblock after roadblock. Ow."

"Anything else?" Naruko asked with a tilt of her head.

Sirzechs shook his head. "Nope. You may go. See you tomorrow, and be careful."

The twins returned to Azazel's table, with Rem and Ram meeting them halfway.

"Hey girls." Naruto greeted them. "What's up?"

"Naruto-sama, we just wanted to say we're sorry. We knew Riser was coming too. If we knew what Rias-sama was planning, we would've stopped her." Ram said sadly.

"Or even rushed to get you." Rem added, with Ram nodding in agreement. "I would never have imagined that she wouldn't have told you what was happening."

"Hey, it's alright. It's not your fault. What's done is done. Just, do us a favor." Naruto said before leaning in to whisper. "Keep an eye on Rias and Akeno, will ya?"

"Of course. It's the least we can do." Ram replied. "Even though we're not her Pieces, we won't leave her side."

"Besides, someone has to keep the pervert away from them." Rem added with a disturbing grin, summoning a chained morning star flail. "We won't let him touch her."

Naruko smirked at that. "Break a bone or two for me. Have fun~"

Rem and Ram nodded and went back to the Gremory table. Rias and Akeno tried to talk to them, but they ignored them; only waving goodbye to their foster parents.

"Let's get out of here." Naruto said, summoning a magic circle bearing the symbol of the House of Sparda. "Girls!"

"Agreed. If Rias or Akeno comes over, I won't be able to hold myself back." Mio said, casting a dirty look at them.

"Right." Naruko said as she and the others stepped into the circle. "Let's go!"

"Wha- Wait a second!" Issei shouted as Raynare and Kalawarner entered the circle. "Why are they going with them?!"

"Are they…part of their Peerage?!" Akeno wondered, shocked.

"Naruto-kun! Naruko-kun! Wait-!" Rias called out to them as she reached her hand out.

She was too late as they disappeared, causing her to fall on her knees.

"Grayfia, take my daughter back to the Human World. Make sure she and her Peerage return tomorrow to the Gremory manor." Venelana said as she, Irene, and her husband stepped into their magic circle.

"Yes, ma'am." Grayfia said as the Gremory's left, followed by the Sitri's and the Phenex's.

"That…could've gone better." Kiba sighed, wiping sweat off his brow.

"Um, are we going to be alright?" Asia worried, looking worried until Issei put a hand on her shoulder.

"Of course we will! We can come back from this for sure without that blonde dead weight-"

POW!

Issei went flying into the wall by Koneko, who had a murderous look on her face.

"Koneko-" Rias chastised Koneko, but stepped back when the catgirl glared at her.

"Since you won't stop that pervert from insulting Naruto-senpai, I'll deal with him in your place! And if you want to help me, you'll have to kill me!" Koneko snarled at her, her cat ears and tail popping out.

"And me." Kiba added, stepping forward. "We can still tolerate his presence, but none of us will tolerate his constant insulting and lack of respect for him, especially after what happened between you and him."

Gasper was still shaking in her shoes, while Rem zipped over to Issei and tossed his back to the group.

"It would seem that you have a lot to deal with, Rias-sama." Grayfia said to a dejected Rias. "No matter. Only you will be able to pull yourself together to redeem herself. Now, let us depart."

With a nod to her husband, Grayfia teleported herself and Rias's peerage away.

"Things are about to heat up, my old friend." Ajuka said with a knowing glance. "We can only hope that those mistakes the Young Devils made are the only ones we have to deal with."

"Indeed." Sirzechs agreed and sighed. "I feel sorry for Rias when Mother gives her the talk."

Serafall laughed nervously, while Falbium dozed off.

[Uzumaki Residence]

Naruto, Naruko, and their Peerage reappeared in the living room. Kalawarner then leaned into Raynare and fell asleep. The others found Kuroka facedown on the ground, with a little girl riding her.

"Naruto-koi! Please get your Familiar off me~" Kuroka wailed with teary white-eyes.

Said familiar was a 5'0 ft tall young girl with soft pale pink eyes, long black hair with vermillion tips at the end, and fair skin with red-and-green vine-like markings on her arms, legs, and chest. She had a petite stature with a sizable chest, and wore a light, pink kimono, a red and white checkered obi, a dark brown haori, and white socks and pink zori sandals. She had an adorable small, pink ribbon to keep her hair out of her face, and a bamboo gag on her mouth.

"Come on, Nezuko. Let Kuroka-chan breathe." Naruto chided the girl, who perked up.

She hopped off the [Bishop] and jumped into his arms, humming happily.

"Oh! Who is this?" Hinata asked, finding the little girl cute.

"This is Nezuko, my Familiar. I found her where Devils usually get their Familiars. She had a slave master who was hiding out in the forest, and Naruko and I killed him." Naruto said while patting Nezuko's head. "He was supposed to be his big, bad demon lord in the past. Wasn't much of one when we used an experimental seal to ash him with sunset."

"Hmm, my familiar 2B isn't back yet. She must've been distracted by the wonders of the Human World again." Naruko groaned, drooping. "She should be fine, dattebane."

"At least that meeting didn't take so long." Mio said, stretching. "And I haven't heard from my friends. So what's next?"

"We'll relax for now. Once tomorrow's over, we go recruiting." Naruto said, shifting so Nezuko can sit on his shoulders.

"That sounds like a plan!" Myuu cheered.

"You guys have fun with that. We're going to bed. Long day." Raynare drawled, carrying Kalawarner piggyback style since the latter fell asleep. "Don't wake us up, even if we're dead."

"That was grim." Satsuki deadpanned. "What do we do now?"

"I'll be watching some TV! " Naruko said and plopped herself onto the sofa. "Myuu-chan, Satsuki-chan, join me?"

Myuu nodded and joined Naruko, sitting and leaning onto her. Not to be outdone, Satsuki took Naruko's other side, and smirked at Myuu. Myuu narrowed her eyes as sparks flew between them.

"I'll make us something to eat!" Hinata said cheerfully, before zooming to the kitchen.

"Oh no, I'll be the chef around here!" Sakura snapped, doing full 'Dark' and went after her.

"Crap, I'll join you!" Mio said and followed after her.

"Girls, none of that!" Naruko said, wrapping her arms around her [Queens]. "We're going to DeviFlix and chill! Ne?"

"Guh, I'll make sure they don't burn down the house." Naruto groaned and went after them, Nezuko still riding on his shoulders. Then, the doorbell rang. "Wonder who that could be?"

When he arrived at the door, he sensed a familiar and friendly presence on the other side. He opened it, only to see a flash of red hair and a blade swinging towards his face.

[Uzumaki residence]

The sounds of clanging resound through the house, alarming the girls. When they gathered in the living room to investigate, Naruto was sent flying in. He flipped in the air, and landed on the table in the room. The girls were shocked that he was bleeding from the head, but he was smiling, as if he was enjoying himself as he got into a stance with Brynhildr.

Then, a red blur shot into the room and clashed with Naruto, who stood his ground and blocked the blow, allowing everyone to see his assailant.

It was a young woman with long, scarlet hair and brown eyes. She had a slender, yet voluptuous figure with H-cup breasts, which was covered by upper silver armor, completed with a blue miniskirt, silver gauntlets, and black boots. She was also wielding a sword; its rain-guard triangular in shape, with intricate patterns embellished on it. On its central ridge are the words 'Eisenmeteor'.

"How dare you?!" Sakura screamed, donning her red-and-black dress, while Hinata summoned a water bow and aimed it at the armored girl.

"Nee-sama?!" Mio and Myuu squeaked, shocking the others.

"Stop!" Naruko yelled as Nezuko ran in all calm. "It's all right, we're good!" She said with a fanged grin. "It's usually how Naru-nii and Erza-chan greet each other! And it's better than DevilFlix and Chill!"

"Erza?! Erza Scarlet?! Wielder of the Ten Commandments: Decaforce sword?" Satsuki asked, before looking impressed.

Naruto and Erza attacked each other with smiles on their faces, enjoying their swordplay against each other. After clanging their swords against each other, Naruto formed a Rasengan and thrusted it towards Erza. The latter dodged at the last moment, turning her sword into an orange-red sword with 'Explosion' engraved on the blade. Clanging with Brynhildr with her changed Decaforce, she knocked Naruto back.

Naruto landed backfirst on the sofa, with Erza bearing down on him. He raised his sword and blocked, with Erza pressing down.

"So Naruto, word is that you and Naruko got yourself Peerages. Got room for one more?"

"...Well, I have been looking for a [Dragon]. Interested?"
