Eco and Ravel were standing far from each other both in their training attires but their clothes were all tattered and they had marks all over their body. Eco had some singes and burns while Ravel had some cuts and bruises over her body.
They were in a stand off as they both waited for the other to make the first move while the winds blew around them, along with some leaves that were blowing through the air. A single leaf suddenly found its way to flow downward in the center of the two. Slowly it descended to the ground as the winds died down.
As soon as it touched the ground, both occupants launched forward into battle. Coming to face to face, Ravel was the first to attack as she took out two knives and tossed them at Eco. Seeing the attack, Eco dodged one knife and quickly caught the second one that was aiming for his face. Holding it in reverse grip, he used the knife to knock away a flying blade coming towards him before he had to dodge a kick away from the face.
Barely missing him, Ravel followed up on the attack by mixing a combination of punches and kicks to his torso and face. However, Eco used his right hand to block all the attacks at ease, when he saw a straight jab coming for him, he simply dodged out of the way before grabbing Ravel's wrist and pulled her towards him while raising his left hand to go for a quick slash.
Narrowing her eyes, Ravel quickly ducked her head avoiding the knife before using her free hand to punch Eco in the solar plexus knocking the wind out of him. She followed up on the attack by grabbing his arm and pushed her shoulder into him before using her strength to toss him over her shoulder.
Eco grunted as he felt his body hit the hard ground before catching himself and skidded to a halt, looking up he saw Ravel nowhere in sight until he looked up and saw her coming down with her feet tucked together and flames igniting her feet.
He jumped away avoiding the attack aimed for his head while Ravel quickly backpedaled away giving herself some breathing room. Eco simply grinned at her before he suddenly vanished from sight causing Ravel's eyes to widen.
"Ugh!" She yelled as felt her side in immense pain, Eco had delivered a sharp kick to her torso sending her flying across the field before she crashed into a tree, her back arching as she made contact.
Panting, she slowly stood up stunned from the impact until her ears had heard a faint slicing through the air. She quickly look up and just in time, she had tilted her head to dodge the knife aimed for her face, embedded in the bark behind her but had no time to recover as Eco was running full speed towards her.
He pulled his fist back and shot his arm straight forward but missed as Ravel slid to the ground and then had raised her legs with her feet shooting into his stomach, igniting blue flames and had launched him in the air.
Eco gritted his teeth as he felt the searing heat hit his chest as he flew through the air, he then regained his momentum to land on his feet with one hand on the ground. Looking up, he saw Ravel with her eyes glowing and blue flames surrounding her body, with her wings spread out.
The blonde girl took a deep breath before she waved her right arm in front of her in slow motion, in the aftermage, blue feathers had appeared in front of her. She then shot her arm forward igniting the feathers and sent them towards their destination.
Eco grinned at the progress of Ravel's flames and how well she's been able to use them. With the flames coming towards him, he then jumped backwards as he continuously dodged the small blasts coming his way. As each feather hit the ground instead of him, it made a small crater and a hint of smoke could be seen from the point of impact along with the sounds of sizzling.
He then came to a stop as he looked up and saw that he was surrounded by the blue feathers as they homed in on him. Once they reached him, they hit their target and caused an big explosion, resulting in a crater with smoke rising from the ground.
Ravel kept her wings up but she decided to walk over to the small crater and see if Eco had survived the explosion however before she could reach it, she felt the cold steel touching her neck.
"And you're dead." Looking behind her, she saw Eco holding the knife with a small smile on his face. "Looks like you lose Ravel."
Ravel looked at the crater and then back at him before realizing what he did and let out a small sigh.
"Mmm, I was so close." She said as she powered down and her wings had disappeared. "I thought I had you that time."
"Hehehe, almost Ravel but remember it's not always about winning it's about improving your skills." Eco said in a sage tone earning an eye roll from the blonde.
"I know, you don't need to tell me that every single training session we have." She said as she crossed her arms under her large bust, making them look bigger.
"Yeah, we'll a teacher of mine did it to me so it was only fair I did it to you." He said as he rolled his right shoulder.
"I thought you were self-trained?"
"I am, I meant a teacher in video games. Anytime I lost to him, he would tell me the same thing about improving and getting better at the handling and button mashing and knowing how to play. And no matter how many times I lost to him, he always had something to teach me." He explained.
"Your teacher sounds like a good person."
"Yeah, but he also can be a troll if he wants to." He joked as they started walking back, away from the clearing. "So, you ready to go back home?"
"Hai, I must say it's been a year since we came here and I don't know how long my family will react to seeing me again."
"Oh don't worry about that." Ravel's ears perked up at Eco's cheerful tone. "Time runs differently here. Before we left, I made some adjustments to the Vortex and made it so that our bodies don't age." He explained.
"So we're still the same age as when we left?"
"Technically yes but chronologically we're a year older. We've only been gone for about a day." He finished.
"I see." Ravel nodded her head in acceptance before opening her right hand and stared into it as a blue sparks danced around her palm before a small blue flame emerged. "It's really been one year."
"Yep. And I'm kinda tired of eating instant food. Though while I do enjoy it, I need real food." Eco joked as Ravel smiled.
"Agreed. Once we return home, I shall prep us a meal for dinner." Ravel said as Eco quickly shook his hands.
"Oh no, there's no need for you to do that. I can make it—ow." Eco was interrupted when Ravel had reached up and pull his left cheek.
"Nonsense, you've done more than enough for me and I thought I told you to stop taking everything on your own, and let people do a nice thing for you because they want to not because they have to. Okay?" She ordered as he gently nodded his head.
"Okay, now please sotp puwwliing." He mumbled as she let him go and patted his cheek with a satisfied huff.
Rolling his eyes, Eco then wrap his arm around her waist before snapping his fingers as their bodies shifted from existence and suddenly vanished in thin air while the vortex returned to its normal self, a white void.
Ravel and Eco had found themselves back in the apartment, looking around they saw that nothing had changed.
"Wow, there's no sign of cobwebs or dust in this place." Ravel said as she looked around the room.
"Yeah, we were in the void for a year but really we were only gone for a day." Eco stated as she nodded her head.
Ravel then grimaced as she realized that she was still in her training attire.
"Dinner will have to wait… I must cleanse myself of this sweat before prepping a meal." Ravel said.
"That's fair, you can go first." He said and he was about to go into the kitchen until she grabbed his hand.
"You're bathing with me."
"Oh. W-Well" He stuttered with a small blush on his face. Even though they spent a year together, he was still a bit shy around her, or girls in general. "I mean, it's not that big of a deal to—"
"Why are you so shy about it?" Ravel asked while turning her head to him. "We did it all the time back in there."
'That was because it was an open bathroom field with a ton of space! The difference is we are in a confined space and there's barely little room to hide ourselves!' He thought frantically.
If he was honest with himself, Eco didn't mind taking a bath with her but the rational side of him did not want to become a pervert like the others at school.
'Then again, is it wrong if the girl is the one offering?' He asked himself before mentally slapping himself. 'Gah, stupid brain, stop thinking about that!'
"Ok, I'll… I'll take a bath with you…" He said while rubbing the back of his head, with eyes away from the blonde unable to see the smile on her face.
"Good." Ravel said as she proceeded to take him to the bathroom but stopped when she realized something.
"What is it?"
"There's someone else in here, and it's coming from your bed." Ravel said as she pointing a finger over to the bump that was breathing in and out.
"Um… hang on a second." He let go of Ravel to walk over to the bed, the latter following him as she slowly formed magic in her hand to be ready for an attack. Eco didn't sense any malice coming from the bed, so he picked up the covers and quickly unwrap it before coming face to face with a small item.
A black cat.
Both Eco and Ravel blinked twice at the cat, then faced each other before returning their gaze to the black cat.
"A cat. A cat was in my house?" Eco spoke in confusion.
"How did a cat even get in here?" Ravel asked as she looked around the place, seeing no signs of forced entry through the vents or patio. "One doesn't just come in and make themselves at home."
"True." He said as he stared at the black cat in wonder. "Then again, this isn't the first time that a cat has broken into my home."
"It hasn't?" Ravel turned to him with a curious look.
"Nope. In fact, before I came here I've had my apartment broken into at least 3 times all from this cat. I mean the only person I know who would do that is-!" He froze when he came to a realization.
"Is?" Ravel asked wondering why he stopped. "Eco, who is this person?"
He was about to answer her until they both heard a small meow. Looking down, they saw that the cat was now wide awake as it let out a small yawn and turned its attention to them. It looked at Ravel with a blank gaze before it turned to Eco and its eyes widened in surprise as it saw him.
The black cat suddenly got up and jumped towards Eco, then smoke suddenly exploded blinding the two occupants.
"AH!"
"A fake?" Ravel guessed as she waited for the smoke to clear. Coughing and waving away the smoke, she turned her attention to Eco and her eyes widened in shock and anger at what she saw. The black cat had transformed into a woman with long black hair, hazel gold eyes and cat like appendages but that's not what got the blonde angry.
What got her angry was the fact that there was a naked woman on Eco who was still a little dizzy from the sudden impact before coming to his senses.
"Ow, what happened?" Eco asked, shaking his head before regaining his vision and once it became clear his eyes widened in shock. He was about to scream until his face was suddenly muffled by large soft pillows courtesy of the woman.
"If you scream, I'll suffocate you with my breasts~" She teased before taking her heavy mounds off the boy who was now bright red.
"K-K-Kuroka!?" He shouted in alarm and surprise at the busty cat in front of him.
"Hello there, Eco." She greeted in a playful tone. Eco could not deal with this, out of all the women he had trouble with, Kuroka was at the top of his list. "It's been a long time, since I last seen you. It's been lonely without you, nya~"
"W-What are you doing here? More importantly what are you doing in my home?" He shouted while waving his hands in comical manner.
"Because I felt like that it, nya~" She replied earning a tick mark from Ravel and a sweatdrop from Eco. She then put her hands underneath his shirt and felt his chest, earning a shriek from the boy as he jumped out of her arms with a flushed face.
"What the hell!?" Panting as he tried to get his brain to calm down from the sudden contact of a woman's body touching him.
"I wanted to see how my mate was doing, seems you've been keeping yourself in shape nya~" Kuroka purred as she ran finger under his chin making him stiff. If there was one thing he never got used around Kuroka it was her advances towards him and her teasing.
"Eco…. Who is this succubus that is trying to take you from me?" Ravel asked darkly sending shivers down his spine but before he could answer her, Kuroka spoke.
"Oh~ someone's jealous." Kuroka said before her cheeks blush as she licked her lips. "Maybe we should get to know each other better, and I think a threesome is the best way to do it, nya~" She teased earning a small yelp of surprise from Ravel who was trying to calm down as her face started flickering with flames and Eco who was close to passing out from sensory overload.
"C-c-can we just um.. focus on the other stuff r-right now?" He stuttered. as the elder woman just giggled at him before nodding her head and sat on the bed. She patted both sides of the bed motioning them to sit.
"We are not sitting down until you are fully clothed." Ravel stated.
"Oh, relax. I don't bite." Kuroka said in a playful tone earning a small glare from the blonde while turning to her head to Eco and saw that he was on the verge of passing out.
Steeling herself, she grabbed his hand and drag the boy behind her before sitting him down the bed. Kuroka was about to wrap an arm around him but Ravel quickly pushed Eco aside and sat where he was, sitting in between them and glared at Kuroka.
The said woman couldn't help but giggle at the blonde's actions.
'Looks like I got some competition, nya~' She thought before putting one leg over the other, not doing anything to cover herself.
Ravel then quickly raised her hands to cover Eco's eyes and growled at the female.
"Clothes. Now…" She ordered as Kuroka chuckled.
"Alright, I've had my fun." She said before picking up her kimono and put in back on. Once she was done, Ravel removed her hands and place them in her lap.
"So, why are you here Kuroka?" Eco asked, now that he was a little better.
"Well, first I wanted to see how you were doing. It really has been a long time and I was worried about you." She answered with a small smile on her face.
"Yeah, sorry about that." He apologized in a sheepish tone. "I've had a lot of stuff happen in that time, moving to another school, dealing with the supernatural and living life to the fullest!" He ended with a excited grin on his face.
"I can tell, you look a lot more lively than last time. So, who is your new friend?" She asked turning her attention to Ravel. 'For some reason, she looks familiar.'
Eco also looked at the blonde asking for permission if she wanted him to introduce her or if she would do it herself, she nodded her head as he understood.
"Ravel, my name is Ravel Phenex. Heiress of the Phenex family and the youngest of five." Ravel introduced herself as Kuroka eyes widened in shock.
"Did you say Phenex?" She asked earning a nod from the blonde. "What's a girl like you doing out here instead of the underworld?"
Ravel expression turned into a frown while Eco's turned into anger making Kuroka curious to the sudden facial changes.
"Is something wrong?"
"Let's just say, she can't go home because of a certain feathered jerk right now that's keeping her from returning there. Until that's dealt with, she's going to be here for the time being." He explained.
"That explains the shopping bags that were the guest room. I was wondering if you had found a new fetish or something." Kuroka realized as Eco turned red while Ravel glared at her.
"You went through my stuff!?"
"F-f-Fetish!?"
"No need to get so worked up." Kuroka waved her hand at them in an attempt to calm them down. "Whatever the reason is, you need to take extra care of Eco-kun because she's your responsibility now." She stated as the boy nodded her head in agreement.
"Don't worry, I'll protect her no matter what. I made a promise to her and I don't break my promises." He said with a determined expression causing Ravel to blush and Kuroka to smile.
"I know you won't..." Kuroka played with his hair as she spoke. "… you always keep your word. And I know you're keeping yours to me."
"Hai, I actually wanted to tell you that I found your sister." He said earning a stunned look from Kuroka.
"You have?"
"Hai. Granted while she's a little non-social she does seem to enjoy sweets, like a lot. I've only seen her a few times because for some reason she's spying on me at school for the entire week." He said.
"Spying?" Ravel peaked her head up at him.
"Yeah, for some reason she's eyeing me for the last two days before the weekend but she's never approached me, and I'm not sure why. Though I did see her talk to this redhead girl named Rias."
"What?" Ravel frowned.
"Yep, while I haven't talked to Rias directly, I do see her eyeing me from time to time. Actually it's not just her, Koneko, that lady Akeno and the other dude named um Kiba, for the past week they all have been watching me." He answered before turning his head to Ravel. "Why?"
'Rias. That's the person my brother has a marriage contract with and if I remembered correctly before I got kidnapped, my brother wanted to push the wedding to a closer date. If she's spying on Eco then she's going to try and turn him into one of her peerage members' Ravel thought to herself.
"Something wrong?" Eco asked.
"Eco, if you see Rias I need you to avoid her." Ravel ordered sternly.
"Why?" He asked in confusion.
Ravel let out a small sigh before speaking once more. "Because Rias is my brother Riser's fiancé."
"Wait what?" Eco asked in confusion.
"My brother Riser and Rias are in an arranged marriage that's been in the making since I was 4 years old. It was decided between our fathers that they would marry when Rias graduated college." Ravel stated.
"I'm sensing there's a but in this." Eco guessed receiving a pinch to his cheek. "Ow."
"Yes, now don't interrupt me." Ravel chided before clearing her throat. "Rias however didn't like the fact that she was in an arranged marriage with my brother and has been trying to get out of it ever since, not that I blame her."
"Is your brother that bad?" Kuroka asked with a raised eyebrow.
"If you only knew." Ravel sighed. "Unlike my other siblings, Riser is arrogant, cocky and acts like nothing can touch him because of our family's powers. It's because of this behavior that Rias is trying to break out of the marriage, and I can't say I blame her."
"How do you even know all of this?" Kuroka asked out of curiosity.
"When you're the youngest sibling of the group and alone for majority of your life, you have a lot of time on your hands. Whenever my family was away because they wanted to keep me safe, I would spend my time roaming my home and there are a lot of spaces that allow me to hide and conceal my presence." Ravel answered.
"Huh." Kuroka nodded her head, accepting the answer.
"BAck to the matter at hand," Ravel started as she turned to Eco. "If Rias confronts you at all or if any of her peerage members are I need you to go the other way and not get involved with them okay?" She asked.
Eco looked at her for a few seconds before giving her a grin and gently flicked her on the forehead. "Don't worry firefly, I won't let them have me."
Ravel blushed at the nickname, feeling her heart beat faster than normal before turning her head away from him.
"T-that's good."
Eco then turned his head back to Kuroka.
"Anyway, Kuroka do you plan on staying for the night or do you have somewhere to be?" He asked her.
"Oh well, it is Sunday and I don't have anything plan out at the moment." She summarized. "Are you offering?"
"As long as you don't do anything crazy, you can stay for the night or two." He said before wincing as he felt a pinch to his side courtesy of his blonde companion who gave him a glare.
'I rather not have this succubus in here, most likely near Eco.' Ravel thought in a jealous manner, as she let out a small huff before turning away from him. "I suppose she could, but if she makes any mess you're cleaning it up and you're sleeping on the floor." She ordered as he nodded his head.
"Roger, Roger." He said giving her a thumbs up, causing a tick mark to appear on the blonde's head.
"Wonderful~" She said in a playful tone before grabbing his head and pushing his face into her breasts causing the latter to blush and wave his hands as he tried to escape. "Now I get to sleep with my lovely mate.~"
"H-Hey, L-Let him go!" Ravel said as she moved behind Eco and wrapped her arms around his torso before doing the same thing as she gave the nekoshou a cute glare.
"Hmhmhmhm, you two are so cute when flustered~" Kuroka teased.
Eco was still blushing when suddenly his right eye pulsed heavily and he let out a small cry of pain, causing Ravel to let go of him before he quickly clutched it with his left hand.
"Eco." Ravel called out in worry. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, it's okay. Just that—" He was interrupted as an event was playing out in his head. He saw Issei currently on his date with a black-haired girl, the same girl that was going to kill him. "Crap! What time is it?"
"It's about 6 o'clock. 30 minutes before sunset." Kuroka answered him.
'Double Crap! He's gonna get killed in the next 30 minutes, I gotta find before he dies now!' He thought frantically as he quickly got up. "Sorry girls but I gotta go. Someone's going to die and I got to stop it."
"Wha—Eco!?" Kuroka called.
"Eco! What's wrong whose dying?" Ravel asked, wondering why he was worried.
"I can't explain right now!" He ran to the door and opened it. "I will be right back in one hour, do not leave this place understand!?" He said closing the door. He then placed a rune on the door before taking his index finger and rotating it clockwise twice then suddenly a blue barrier formed.
"Alright, that should hold them. Now time to go save that pervert!" Eco said as he then jumped over the railing and on the ground before rushing off to find Issei.
Eco arrived at the fountain in the park as he ran straight to the center. Looking around, he saw that it was just him and sighed in relief.
"Okay, good I got here early." He looked at the skies and judging how far down the sun was he knew that it was close to getting sunset. "I think I have about ten minutes until they get here, time to hide my presence."
Eco then went to the tree and jumped onto the branch for sitting down, it was high enough for him to hide himself from being spotted but for safety measures, he set himself into glitch mode.
'And here we go!' He thought as he saw Issei and his date slowly walking to the center of the fountain. 'So that's the girl that kills him. Wait a minute…' Eco paused as his right eye started glowed silver for a quick second and then faded away. Right beside, a bio of the girl he just scanned appeared in front of him.
{'Fallen Angel Raynare, Alias: Yuuma Amano.}
{Personality: Vicious, petty, vindictive, treacherous and deceptive.}
{She is a fallen angel that is extremely loyal to her superiors but her actions are questionable due to her behavior. Casted out of heaven because of her lust for power. Assigned by Azazel to observe possible sacred gear user Issei Hyoudou and later received a kill order from Kokabiel.}
'Annnnndd now everything makes sense." Eco thought as he groaned in annoyance. 'Of course that war hawk would want to eliminate sacred gear users. As to why, I'm not sure but I'll worry about that later.' He thought before gazing down at Raynare.
'She's doing a poor job at hiding her killing intent. You think if you were going to kill someone, you do a better job at concealing yourself.'
"I really had a great time Issei-kun, it was a fun date." Yuuma beamed while Issei chuckled with a small blush to his cheeks.
"I'm glad you like it, Yuuma. I had fun too." He said with a smile on his face.
"Issei, can I ask you for one more thing to make this night memorable?" She asked.
"Of course, anything you want." He said while a chibi version of him was dancing around his mind. 'This is it! I'm finally gonna get laid!'
Yuuma leaned in and whispered into his ear.
"Would you die for me?" She asked earning a confused expression from the brunette.
"Huh?"
Yuuma then went through a transformation as her clothes were disintegrated and replaced with news resembling a dominatrix outfit showing off her buxom body and she looked older than she did before.
'There it is.' Itsuki said while narrowing his eyes, his right eye gleaming with a silver color as the clock appeared.
What the?" Issei wondered as he observed Raynare's whole demeanor change.
"I had a lot of fun with you. Dating you was child's play and I'll always treasure the gift you gave me… which is why I will make this quick and painless." Raynare stated as she formed a pink light spear in her hand aiming at Issei who was still in shock.
Raynare threw the spear at him, and that's when Issei finally noticed the spear coming for him but he knew that he wouldn't be able to dodge it in time. He braced for the blow but it never came, slowly opening his eyes he was shocked when he saw someone in front of him holding the light spear.
"What!?" Raynare shouted in surprise at seeing her attack being stopped.
Issei looked to his right and his eyes widened in shock as he saw Itsuki in front of him, holding the spear with one hand in his pocket.
"Now that's just cruel." He said while shaking his head. "This young man right here went out of his way to take you on a date and in return you kill him for it?" He said before crushing the light spear out of existence. "Wow, I knew you had issues but this takes the cake, for shame woman!" He ended making the shame signal with his hands.
"Who the hell are you to judge me you filthy human?" Raynare shouted as she glared at Itsuki.
"Someone whose about to kill you." He replied earning a small laugh from the fallen angel.
"That's rich! You kill me?" Raynare mocked as she pointed a finger at Itsuki. "I knew humans were full of themselves but to think you can actually kill someone like me, who is worth more than you two will ever be? Oh, that's laughable."
"It was too easy deceiving this pervert into thinking I actually like him. I was going to kill him on the orders of my master because of his Sacred Gear but since you now know about it, I get to kill you too." She finished as she formed another spear in her hands.
"Yuuma…" Issei said in a hurt tone while Eco had his eyes narrowed in anger. He didn't know Issei that much but just to deceive him because of his pervert tendencies was seriously messed up, he was going to let her go with a warning but that chance is gone now.
"Well, then I guess I have no choice…" Eco said as raised his eyes towards Raynare who flinched at his gaze. "… you don't deserve to live."
"As if you could take me on, DIE!" Raynare shouted as she threw her spear at them. Eco pushed Issei away before dodging the spear that went over his head.
"Wow, your aiming sucks! I wasn't that far off!" He taunted.
Raynare then formed two spears before throwing them at the boy, who just leaned his head back to dodge the first one and then jumped over the second.
"Come on, succubus! What you waiting for!? I'll make it easy for you." He said before turning around and pointed to his butt. "Right here right here! X Marks the spot! Pin the tail on the donkey!"
Raynare formed two light spears in her hands and charged at the boy herself. She raised her arms and then thrusted her spears downward to stab Eco but he was faster. He jumped and dodged her attack before landing on her back.
"Oh, come on." He groaned playfully while rolling his eyes. "You call that an attack!? Lame" He then flicked the fallen on the forehead before shouting. "Tag you're it!" He shouted and then stepped on her head before jumping off and landing gracefully on the ground.
"Ole."
Raynare growled in anger as this boy in front of her. He wasn't even taking this seriously. He was acting like this whole thing was a game to him and that he was mocking her.
"You little shit." She muttered as her hands glowed and she formed a bunch of light spears in the air around her. "Let's see you try to escape this!" She then threw down the ray of light spears but it was futile as Eco suddenly disappeared while the area was being bombarded.
Raynare let out a small smirk as she thought she had finally gotten rid of cocky brat before turning her head to Issei who was still in shock at what was happening to him.
Just as she was about to form another light spear, Raynare was caught of guard when a certain voice whispered in her ears.
"Too slow~" Eco sung before raising his hand above her head. "Reaper Chop!" He said as he chopped Raynare on the head and she had crashed into the ground with a rattling thud as a small crater formed beneath her. She groaned as she felt her body writhing in pain from the attack.
"H-how, how in the world is he this strong?" She asked herself in slight fear. This human boy that had just shown up about of nowhere, not only taunted her but he shrugged off her attacks like they were nothing and instantly down her in one.
She felt her body writing in extreme pain in that one attack.
"That's not important." He said as he slowly approached her. "What's important is that now you have a choice. You can either A, tell me everything I want to know about you, are you alone or did you come with friends etc. and all that or B, I look through your head and force the information out of you and send you straight hell! Which one will it be?" Eco asked her.
"Tch… fuck you! You won't get anything out of me! My allies will hear about this and when they do, you're going to regret messing with me!"
Eco stared at her blankly for a few seconds before suddenly laughing at her response like it was no big deal, which to him it wasn't.
"Now that was funny! Oh well you had your chance, time to die!" Eco said before grabbing her head and forced her to look into his eyes as the clock in his right eye when counter-clockwise, suddenly she was screaming bloody murder in the air as she felt like she was being tortured in the worst way possible and then suddenly, she stopped as her head just fell forward and Eco let go.
"See you later!" He said before snapping his fingers and her body was erased from existence, not even her ashes remained.
"Now that that's over with, Issei?" He called out to the boy behind him who slowly walked over to him in slight fear. "I would like to ask you one question?"
Issei didn't know what to do. While he wanted to run and escape, he felt like Eco could easily catch him and kill him too. So he just slowly stare at Eco waiting for his next set of words, however he was not expecting Eco to look at him with a friendly smile on his face.
"Would you like to join me for some gyoza and fried rice?" Eco asked in a cheerful tone causing the brunette to stare at his peer in confusion with a dumfound expression on his face.
"W-What?"
