Chapter 15 – Rescuing a Saint
With the arrival of all my companions, Freed took a step back, but quickly reobtained his composure. An expression of perverse excitement took over his face.
"Oooh! Looks like the entire group of devils is together!" He said with a dark laugh. "This is going to be fun!"
I lifted my head, breathing through the pain, and looked directly into Freed's eyes. for new novels
"Why are you so excited? Do you really think you can beat us? You haven't even beaten me, a weak, inexperienced devil. Look, I'm still standing and you haven't even hurt me."
My words hit the priest like a blow, and I saw the momentary fear in his eyes.
But I was out of luck. Suddenly, a strange portal began to form in the ceiling above Freed, slowly rotating as it grew in size.
Freed looked up at the portal and a smile appeared as drops of sweat trickled down. "Looks like my luck is changing! Let's see how you devils handle the fallen angels!"
'Damn, are the fallen angels coming sooner than I expected?'
I thought and looked back, searching for Rías' eyes. It wasn't hard to find them, because she was looking at me.
'Now Rias will tell me to leave Asia and she'll take me back by force.' I concluded.
I don't know what she saw at that moment, let alone what she thought as she looked at me with wide eyes as if to say "No". But the decision Rias made was different from what I had expected.
Rias smiled with the corner of her mouth, looked at Freed and said:
"Fallen angels?" She asked. "They won't be much of a problem for me. Let them come."
As she said these words, Freed's face turned pale. He looked Rias up and down and laughed briefly.
"And who do you think you are? Aren't you a bit haughty for a mere devil?"
"Pleased to meet you. I am Rías Gremory, heir to the Gremory family."
"The Gremory family of devils?"
Trying to ignore the pain that still throbbed in my body, I placed a comforting hand on Asia's shoulder. "It's going to be okay. Trust me when I say that."
Despite all the fear I had felt, Asia still managed to smile at me innocently. "I know, you're a good person, Leo."

Strangely, after Asia told me that I was a good person, my conscience wavered and I fainted.
I can't tell if it was because of the exhausting series of boosts I had received or because I had dug my claws deep into my own gut. In the end, it didn't matter, because everything worked out better than I expected.

[You obtained 2 hearts with Asia Argento.]
When I woke up, sunlight came tentatively through the ajar window, illuminating what I quickly recognized as my bedroom.
However, my bed was much closer than usual, and I could feel fluffy 'things' wrapped around both of my arms.
