'What should I do?'

Sitting alone in a small LDK room, a blue-haired teenage girl was looking at the clock absentmindedly.

Initially, she had come here with a full team and a mentor in order to find the one who stole the Excalibur sword and retrieve them.

Ideally after punishing whoever was the one who planned this whole ordeal.

At first, everything worked well. They came to Japan and even Kuoh Town, the place of their birth.

Even though the town didn't have a standing church anymore and was filled with devils, the citizens were at peace.

At the very least, the devil in charge of this zone seemed to do a good job.

But suddenly. Everything went to hell.

Kurumi went to observe Kuoh academy. Something happened. Someone seemingly manipulated the mind of all students and Kurumi was forced to fight.

Then…

'That power…'

She had been suspicious. She had been doubtful.

After all, it has been more than five years now and she had only felt the wave of power coming from the school for a short instant.

But…The more she thought about it…The more she was sure of it.

That power was the same as Basara's.

'Ah…'

Yuki Nonaka placed a hand above her meager chest.

She could feel her heart beating powerfully at the thought of meetings Basara again.

Unlike everyone else who seemed to hate him.

She knew very well that Basara did all this to protect her.

Even though he lost control.

Even though his power was scary.

She could never hate him.

But she also knew that her own feelings weren't the only thing that mattered.

'If Kurumi finds out about this…'

No matter how much Yuki had tried to explain to Kurumi, the girl still felt resentment against Basara.

The good thing at least was that it wasn't as pronounced as the other.

"Nee-san?"

'Thinking of the devil.'

Yuki looked at Kurumi who had just walked out of the bath.

Kurumi was simply wearing a white shirt and a pair of striped blue and white panties.

Her hair that were of a deeper shade of blue than Yuki was still damp from the water of the bath and she was holding a bottle of milk.

Seeing this bottle, Yuki gave a pitiful glance at her sister.

'Poor girl. Still refusing to admit reality.'

"Hey!! I am still growing!"

Kurumi turned defensively when she felt the weird glance Yuki was giving her.

"You should give up sister. We are simply not blessed in the chest department."

"Kuh!"

Kurumi groaned and sat down. There was nothing much she could say against this.

But she was not ready to give up.

"Anyway, Nee-san. You have been hiding something from me, right?"

"Why do you think so?"

"Please. It's pretty evident."

Yuki touched her own face. In the Vatican, many people said that her face was too stiff and that it was hard to see her emotions.

Did this mean Kurumi was just that good a discerning thing? Or did it simply means she was so worried she couldn't keep her expression in check?

In the end, Yuki sighed, "I can't tell you yet."

Five years was a long time.

Many things could change by then.

She wanted to meet him first and see for herself if he was still the Basara she knew.

And if he was…

[Devil's World — Gremory Territory.]

The Gremory Territory was very vast as was Normal for such a high-ranked family.

In the depth of the forest belongings to them, a fight was happening.

*Boom*

Crimson magic engulfed a patch of the forest, erasing everything on its path before colliding against the muscular body of a tall man.

The man, who was around two meters tall, clenched his muscles, and the small scratches on his body, slowly vanished.

"Gahahahahaha!! Little lady, you have greatly improved. Now you can even wound this great, Surtr! "

Looking a the results, Rias, who had been training until now under the tutelage of her brother, couldn't help but bite her lips in disappointment.

Surtr second[1], a clone of Surtr created by the god of Asgards. But after he went Berserk, the gods gave up on him as they realized they were unable to control him.

It was there that her brother found him and made him his servant by using a mutated [Rock] piece.

Ever since Surtr Second had been recognized as the ultimate [Rock].

A movement in the wind alerted Rias and she snapped out of her daze before ducking low and rolling on the ground.

There was none of the grace and nobility she always liked to show in the past. She knew very well that she would die but the who attacked her showed no mercy and it would have been very painful.

Looking behind where she previously stood, she could see a lanky young man who looked to be in his twenty.

He was wearing a special type of Japanese uniform belonged to an old police, the Shisengumi. An uniform composed of a Haori and a Hakama.



He was Souji Okita,[2] a legendary swordman as well as Sirzech's knight.

When he was alive, the man had been suffering from a server disease and ended up summoning Sirzech my coincidence.

When Souji died in the End during the war, the one who tuned him into a resurrected devil was her brother. He had to use two Knight piece for this.

But sirzech had never regretted his choice.

"Lady, shall we continue? Your movement are becoming much better."

This was how Rias had been spending her days lately. Learn theory soon in the morning and practice for the rest of the time.

How much training was up to her and she knew that if she asked a pause now, they would comply.

In fact, she was lucky today. Usually the whole team would gang up on her.

Though, even without doing so, betting one seemed arduous.

As such,

"I am good. Let's continue."

Rias wiped away the sweat on her brow and spoke quietly.

She was dirty, tired, her hearts was beating powerfully and her legs were trembling.

But she knew she could not stop.

The two men exchanged glance and nodded.

"Then we shall continue."

Like this, Rias trained and she knew that as soon as it was done, she would be able to honor her promise.

[1]: He is Canon. Sirzech' peerage is filled with legendary being. Honestly it's even more broken than Rias peerage, if you take Issei away.

[2] : In DxD, he also serve as Kiba teacher when Kiba was still traumatized
