The sky had already darkened, and the atmosphere began to turn eerie.
According to movies, someone was going to die tonight.
On the street, Miko pulled Asia, running towards the suburban park. After all, who knew what kind of trouble would arise if that perverted priest was led onto the street.
At this moment, Miko felt a bit of regret. She regretted forgetting to set up a mark at her home. Otherwise, she could have teleported back directly. She wouldn't have had to flee for her life with a frail girl.
"Huff... Huff... I can't go on." Asia leaned on her knees, panting.
Then she looked at Miko and said, "Don't… don't worry about me, you go first."
Seeing Asia, who was already exhausted not far into their run, Miko felt a bit helpless. She hadn't expected her physical fitness to be so poor.
But… she must have shaken off that pervert, right?
Just as Miko was thinking this, she suddenly felt danger and quickly stepped back.
Bang!
A light bullet hit Miko's original position.
"Hmm? I didn't hit you, you're really lucky."
Miko turned her head to see that the perverted priest was standing not far away with a playful expression, holding a gun in his left hand and annoyedly scratching his hair with his right.
Miko looked at the scorched ground. If that shot had hit her, it would not have felt good.
"Why am I so unlucky?" Miko said helplessly in her heart.
It was her first day on duty, and she encountered this. She was just an apprentice Devil now.
She glanced at Freed, then pulled Asia and ran into the park.
"The cat and mouse game continues, hide well, don't let me catch you." Freed smiled, then followed them inside.
...
Issei walked along the familiar road from yesterday. Memories of that day kept surfacing in his mind.
"Issei, I had a great time on our date."
"Issei, I like that."
"Issei, could I trouble you with something?"
"Issei, since you agreed, then please die."
Issei suddenly snapped back to reality. He found himself already by the fountain, and his back was completely soaked.
He absolutely hadn't remembered wrong. He had indeed died once, his memory was fine.
Then the problem was with his friends and classmates.
"No!"
Issei seemed to sense something and looked behind him.
In the shadows, a man wearing a hat and a trench coat stood there.
"You are…"
Ignoring Issei's words, the man spoke to himself, "This is truly unfortunate, to meet someone like you in the suburbs."
At this moment, Issei was trembling all over—this was instinctive fear. He felt as if he was facing a monstrous beast.
No, he had to run!
Issei slowly retreated.
"Do you want to run away?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Saying that, Issei turned and ran.
The man looked at the fleeing Issei, a smirk on his lips.
The next second, wings spread from his back and feathers flew everywhere.
"Feathers?"
Issei looked at the black feathers falling from the sky and remembered Yuuma.
The man appeared above him, arms crossed. "Do you have any companions?"
Issei shouted, "What are you talking about!"
The man said, "There's no aura of a master on you, no aura of companions, and no intention of hiding."
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Issei accidentally sat on the ground. He tried to stand up but found his legs trembling violently.
Looking at the guy standing above him, he was confused.
What master? What companions?
What on earth was this guy talking about!
The trench coat man ignored him, rubbing a light spear in one hand while continuing, "According to reports, you are a stray devil, so killing you…"
Before he could finish, the man frowned and looked behind him.
"Another one?"
Just then, Miko, pulling Asia, burst in.
Miko looked at the Fallen Angel flying in the sky and fell silent.
What happened today was even more unbelievable than seeing spirits before. With spirits, she just had to pretend, but here, she felt like she was going to die.
Dohnaseek frowned, looking at the two who had suddenly barged in.
Another Devil, and a vessel storing a Sacred Gear, why were they here?
That's right, Asia, in the eyes of Dohnaseek and other Fallen Angels, was merely a temporary vessel for storing "Twilight Healing."
Now, for some unknown reason, this vessel was mixed up with a Devil.
Raynare was also nowhere to be found.
"So, this…"
"Dohnaseek-sama, this is my prey."
Dohnaseek wanted to ask Miko if she had a master, but he was interrupted by Freed, who slowly walked over.
Watching this scene, Miko's hanging heart died.
It's over, the Fallen Angel and that pervert know each other.
"In that case, hurry up."
"No problem."
Dohnaseek looked at Issei, while Freed watched Miko.
Just as they were about to make a move—
"Why are you in such a mess? You didn't even use my summon card." A helpless voice sounded from behind Miko.
Then Abel walked out from behind her.
Another one…
Before Dohnaseek could finish thinking, he saw Abel and his pupils constricted.
Behind Abel stood Elsha and Grayfia.
This aura...
It seemed like it was going to be difficult.
Hearing Abel's voice, Miko tearfully pulled Asia behind Abel. Then she pitifully pointed at Freed and said, "That pervert shot at me."
Hearing Miko's words, Dohnaseek's hanging heart relaxed.
But the next second—
"Fallen Angel-san, is it not quite right for you to attack my subordinate on my territory?"
At this moment, a female voice sounded.
From behind Issei, Rias walked out. Akeno and Koneko stood beside her.
"Abel, is it okay if I join in the fun?"
Sona walked out from behind Abel, with Tsubaki following her.
Abel said with a smile, "Of course, no problem."
At this moment, the three Devils with the strongest backgrounds in the Underworld were all present.
Over by Issei, Yuuto gently helped Issei up. "Issei, are you alright?"
Facing Yuuto's concern, Issei stammered, "N-no, I'm fine, thanks."
At this moment, Issei's face was a bit red and his heart was also beating very fast.
Even Rias, who had been very attractive to him before, didn't have the same impact as Yuuto now.
