Chapter 94: Meetings, Arrangements, And Reunions? by Harem-Fan
Monday morning, at the local Sirzechs Hotel, in downtown Kuoh...
I am in a boardroom having coffee with a VIP from the Church, Griselda Quarta. She is wearing her nuns outfit, and I can tell she is a strong swords woman.
I am here at this meeting with Irina, Xenovia, and Tsubaki. Griselda has brought two of her priests along as assistance, and we are drinking coffee in a private meeting hall.
What is so special about this Top 5 strongest Exorcist? Is it her Northern European supermodel beauty, her gorgeous big sister eyes with love, or her breasts not well hidden under her nuns attire? No...
She is or was Xenovia Quarta's legal guardian, and the woman who adopted her. They, along with Irina, came from the same Church-run Exorcist Swordsman facility. Griselda was the one who raised Xenovia, so this meeting is a bit special.
All four of my group are currently wearing the summer Kuoh Academy uniforms, and this meeting is to settle the Church and for a gift.
Currently Xenovia is on my right, Irina to my left, and Tsubaki is standing behind waiting to serve coffee. Xenovia has her head down and looks at her untouched hot cappuccino.
Griselda had just sat and introduced herself officially.
"Hello Ray Gremory and his servants, I am Sister Griselda Quarta, the initial representative of the Church and of Heaven, please take care of us. Xenovia and Irina, it is nice to see you again."
I still feel a bit bad, so I greet formally. Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"... Hello Sister Griselda, my name is Ray Gremory from the Duke Gremory House, and I welcome you all to my territory of Kuoh Town. I am looking forward to the Peace Summit. I am here to accommodate you and all of your group to make your stay comfortable and safe."
Griselda sipped her coffee and then said to me,
"The Church wanted me to thank you for returning all of the Excalibur swords back to us undamaged, including the ones your two new Devil servants possessed. As for the matter of reincarnating Irina Shidou and Xenovia Quarta... it is considered they died in service of completing their mission successfully. This is the official stance of the Church."
Xenovia looked down even more, not meeting her gaze, and her shoulders shrank, a complete opposite of her strong woman persona. I pat Xenovia on her shoulder, with a smile, and I say.
"Sister Griselda won't bite, you care for her, so this is a good time to speak. When the Peace Talks finish, we will be on friendly terms. I can also tell she still cares for you very much."
The sister looks at me and seems intrigued about my speech. Then Xenovia looked up and confronted her guardian, and her determination came back.
"Sister Griselda, sorry if I let you down, but... This is the path I choose for myself. I was seduced by the Devil's Whispers, but his words touched my heart!"
As my lips twitched hearing her words, Xenovia stood with her hand over her large-heart. She said clearly, and surprised everyone in the room by repeating my words I forgot...
"My King Ray Gremory said from the bottom of his heart... "I want everyone who wishes for peace to win, and that includes anyone in the Heaven above, Underworld below, the Church on Earth, other Mythology, or any decent and kind being. I love good and hate Evil." –
Irina, Tsubaki, Griselda, and her aides all looked at me in surprise, because these words would sound like a betrayal heard out of this time of peace. A Devil to boldly acknowledge Heaven is unheard of, even blasphemous. She shocked Griselda with one more thing.
"Once, when I first met my King, he even thanked God and Heaven for Irina's sake, and was not punished by Heaven."
I did mention this hot blooded muscle-head was a genius in certain things, right? Well, her ability to remember things is incredible, because even I cannot remember it so well. Then Sister Griselda asked Xenovia.
"I see you are attending school now, are you happy with it and your new Devil family?"
"My new life is making me very happy. As for becoming a Gremory Devil? With Irina and Asia, I have like minded friends... As far as my King Ray?"
Xenovia turned and abruptly hugged my neck, and her smell entered my nose, as she said softly.
"Ray has touched my heart, and understands me well. Spending the rest of my life in Hell with Ray, and vanquishing evil together, is my greatest blessing."
For some reason, I feel very happy in my heart, because the normally stone-cold Knight is really tightly hugging me, like a young girl who does not want to let go. So I pat her arm warmly and have her sit. Then I turn to Sister Quarta and said,
"We Gremory Devils love and cherish our Devil Servants, unlike that trash Diodora. Asia, Irina, and Xenovia all joined me for special reasons. Xenovia asked me without prompting, and to be honest, I could not turn down her request. When I made them Devils, I had no intention of mocking or harming Heaven, this I promise."
Sister Griselda waved her hand, looking at Xenovia and Irina, and said to me,
"I know Xenovia very well, and can tell she is happy to be with you. In the past, becoming Devils would make us opponents, but... Times have changed, and I hope to continue to see these girls smile and be happy. Your words Ray Gremory surprised me very much. Not even the Devil Kings spoke so simply and precisely about what good and evil is. Politics on all fronts has decayed our system of Christianity. Well, Micheal has sent me a gift for you, Ray Gremory."
She waved to her assistant who brought over a velvet case for the length of a Longsword with a wide hilt. My gut feeling is reminding me of something, and the Holy Aura coming from the wrapped sword is tingling my skin slightly. She unfolded the sword on the table exposing it to everyone, and I said.
"Ascalon?! ? Why is it here?"
Griselda points to Irina and tells me.
"Heaven was impressed that you even sent back both Mimic and Destruction to the Church. And as a sign of peace and good will from Heaven and the Church, the higher-ups agreed Irina needs a strong Holy Sword. The Dragon Slayer Ascalon is a perfect choice."
Irina in shock, looks at Ascalon then me, her brain and heart are in a messy confusion.
I remembered in the anime, Micheal and Akeno attuned this weapon for Issei to use with his Boosted Gear, and I just realized, a holy sword user like Xenovia and Irina do not need tuning at all. I say to sister Griselda.
"Please thank Heaven and the higher-ups for this gift for the House of Gremory and Irina Shidou. We will only use it in the right way. Irina, take your new sword. It is a special blade. It can also lengthen its blade, so it is a great replacement for your former Mimic. But it's hatred for Dragons is its greatest boon."
Irina picked up this Legendary Holy Dragon-slayer, and pulled it from its golden colored sheath, and then held the shining Longsword high, its 4 pointed handguard and its lavish decorations really make it a spectacular weapon.
I personally like Irina with a Katana, for its 'Kill Bill' vibe, but Irina looks more Knightly with Ascalon now. Irina then sheathed it and said...
"Lord Michael, I thank you for your blessings, ~amen! ~!"
We all shake our heads at her clutching her forehead with one hand, and holding Ascalon in her chest tightly with the other. Then I asked Griselda.
"Wednesday is Parent Day at our Kuoh Academy... If you like, can you show your support for Xenovia, and see her in her new school?"
And oddly, when I mentioned it, Xenovia under the table was pinching my leg, telling me... no! But Xenovia is not having her real feelings show on her face. Then the Sister said.
"I thank you for the offer, but after this, I personally will be going back to meeting with the Church leader in Japan, for I will be the new leader in this region of Asia. But I will come for Saturday's Summit with Micheal as his aid."
Xenovia stopped pinching when she heard that, and her face looked relaxed to her. I guess no one wants their parents to come on Parents Day, .
"Alright then. Tsubaki, please give them all the paperwork they need while here in Kuoh. Sister Griselda, I have to get Irina and Xenovia back to school, and I must meet Grigori next, please enjoy your stay in Japan."
And that had summed up the meeting with the Church and Heaven faction, but I smiled when Sister Griselda and Xenovia hugged, stinging poor Xenoiva's with the Sister's Rosary Beads.
-
As I walked Irina and Xenovia back to school, Xenovia hugged me out of nowhere, and put her face in my chest. I heard her mumble to me.
"Thank you for insisting I come. My heart feels better knowing I faced her. I still had some lingering guilt towards her, for taking good care of me, but now... I feel my heart is lighter."
Xenovia on her tiptoes, pulled my head down, and kissed me deeply, with her eyes closed. Even though her kiss is immature, her feelings are pure and honest. I even enjoyed it very much, and held her waist. Then the two of us awkwardly stopped, due to the light bulb...
"... Oh, to see your pure love for Darling, touches my heart deeply. Xenovia, I am cheering for you!"
Irina swiping the tear from her eye, and holding her hands in a praying gesture, really made this moment feel hella awkward for us, but Xenovia saw the next person walk to the three of us, and she said.
"Sister Lavinia, you must be here to take Ray to his next meeting? Well, Irina and I are going back to class, bye."
As Xenovia is pulling Irina along, Lavina Reni, waved to the two as she stood next to me in normal human clothing, and said to the two.
"Bye-bye Xen-chan and Iri-chan. Red, I am here, ."
As my Knights entered the school, I looked to my Contract Magician, of the Slash-dog Team, who was wearing bluejeans, platform sandals, a pink tee-shirt, and sunglasses. She grabbed my left arm and looked up at me and smiled happily.
"White, I could have just been summoned with your flyer?"
After leaning me down for a kiss, she pouted and pulled my arm.
"If I did that, I could not walk there with you, . Oh by the way, there is a surprise for you... your future father-in-law is there."
My feet stopped and my eyes opened wide, and I only said in shock...
"Baraqiel is there?! Fuck me!"
Lavinia, seeing my shock, patted my arm and said cutely.
"He is, and later, dear."
I look at my playful lover, and think about meeting him.
Crap, I thought Akeno would be there to meet him, and now I have to meet him first... crap-balls!
Lavina drags me along, and I barely remember arriving at Azazel's condo building...
