Chapter 139 - Welcome home!

"Come." Jin said.

An invisible pressure gripped Kokabiel's body.

"Argh!" Kokabiel groan in pain. He couldn't control his body anymore. He slowly flew towards Jin.

Thud!

Jin grabbed Kokabiel's neck.

Kokabiel slowly opened his mouth and said, "W-What are you?"

"You know it's quite rude to attack people you just met." Jin said as he tightened his grip on Kokabiel's neck.

"Argh!" Kokabiel clenched his teeth.

Jin looked at Kokabiel in the eyes and asked, "What should I do to you? Do you want me to turn you into dust?"

Mercphobia, who was silent at the corner, opened his mouth, "I smell a dragon."

Jin looked at him and said while pointing at Issei, "You mean that kid?"

"Yeah, but there's another one who's coming..." Mercphobia said.

'That should be Vali.' Jin thought and said, "That one couldn't even be considered as dragon. They are just a possessor, more like a host."

"That's why I felt that something's wrong." Mercphobia said.

"What? Got interest in them?" Jin asked while looking at Issei.

"No, I don't want to do troublesome things." Mercphobia shook his head.

"Yeah, I'm really worried about how you manage your city before." Jin sighed.

"Caramile was helping me at that time." Mercphobia said.

Jin felt a slight fluctuations of magic power. He raised his head and looked in the sky.

"He's here."

Swooosh!!

"Whoa! That looks cool." Jin said.

Vali squinted and looked at the unknown group he haven't seen before. He could felt that they were strong from the aura that they're releasing.

"Yo! Long time no see, Vali!" Jin said to Vali.

'This man... knows me.' Vali thought when he heard Jin's words. He doesn't remember meeting these people.

"You forgot about me! Well, where's Kuroka?"

Vali suddenly recalled someone when he heard Jin mentioned Kuroka. He remembered the man that joined them a few years ago.

"You're back!"

"Yeah, you finally remember." Jin asked, "That doesn't matter, where's Kuroka?"

"Back in your house." Vali replied.

"She's still in my house." Jin nodded.

...

Koneko looked at Jin and Vali back and fort. It seems that these two people knew her sister. She doesn't know what their relationship to her sister.

"They are ignoring us." Rias said. She couldn't believed that these people didn't bothered looking at them.

"With our level of power, we don't enter their eyes." Akeno said.

...

"You know him, Jin?" Ur asked him.

"Yeah, I belong to their group." Jin nodded his head.

"Then, what about our Thousand Abyss?" Ur asked with a worried expression. She's the first one to join Thousand Abyss a few years ago and she have a special attachment to it. She treated everyone in the group as her family.

"Don't worry about that, We are still the Thousand Abyss." Jin smile and said.

Haruhime grabbed Aisha's sleeve. She look worried.

Aisha looked at Haruhime and patted her hand. She said, "Don't worry, Jin will handle it. Just trust him."

Jin looked at Vali and asked, "What are you doing here?" Even though he knew the answer he still asked.

Vali looked at him and pointed at Kokabiel.

"Ah! This guy!" Jin looked at Kokabiel on his hand. He then throw him at Vali. "Here! You can have him!"

Vali caught Kokabiel and he proceeded to seal him.

"I will leave you here." Jin said to Vali. He then turned around and looked at his members, and said, "Let's go."

They nodded at him and followed him.

"Oh? I forgot one thing." Jin said as he turned his head to Rias and the rest. He opened his mouth and said, "I will visit the underworld sooner or later to settle some things."

He couldn't forget that day when the devils encircle him and Cleria. The underworld put a large bounty on his and Cleria's head after that.

Vali looked at their back wondering how did Jin grew so strong that he couldn't see the depths of his strength in just a few years.

He then shook his head and proceeded to seal Kokabiel. Then, the red dragon talked to the white dragon for a few seconds before Vali left with the priest.

...

Jin and the rest arrived in front of his run down house.

"Is this your house, Jin?" Ur asked him as she looked at the small house.

The house was small and it had a lot of cracks. It looks like it will fall any time.

"Yeah." Jin nodded as he felt nostalgic while looking at the small house. The house still looked the same before he left this world.

He stepped forward while saying, "I'll leave the barrier to you, Jellal."

Jellal nodded as he silently create a barrier around the house so that no one could detect them here.

"Let's go, I will introduce all of you to Kuroka." Jin said with a smile. He felt Kuroka's presence inside the house. Not just her, Cleria and the rest were also here.

He couldn't hide his excitement anymore as he directly opened the door and entered the house.

Ur and the rest exchanged glances.

"He must be excited as he haven't seen them for a few years." Aisha said.

"Come, let's follow him." Ur said.

All of them also entered the house.

...

As soon as Jin entered the house, a figure leap in his embrace.

"Nya! I wouldn't forget this smell! Jin you're back!" Kuroka sniffed his body while hugging him tightly.

"I'm back, Kuroka." Jin said with a gentle expression on his face. He gently ċȧrėssed her back. As expected, Kuroka would still recognized him even if they hadn't seen each other for a few years.

He then heard a footsteps. He lifted up his head and saw Cleria Belial. For him, she's his older sister.

He removed his mask and greeted her, "I'm back, Sister Cleria."

"Welcome home, Jin!"
