24 Asia's introduction to the ORC

Arthur POV

'Well, that was a quick school day!' I thought as me and Asia made our way to our hose in the car. The drive didnt take too long. I had already told Nabe through our connection I was on my way to the house and wasn't going to school, I also told her about Asia.

As we arrived to the gate to allow us onto the drive, Asia looked star-struck with the large house in front of her. "Y-you...You live here?" she asked me, still staring at the house. I laughed at her reaction before replying "Mhm. Hope you like it~!"

Nabe was waiting alongside the door. "Welcome home Arthur. Good day at school?" The sarcasm in her voice was a welcome surprise. I smiled at her cheekily "Indeed it was Nabe. I'd like to introduce you to Asia, she'll be staying with us for a while. Nabe nodded before turning to Asia "Hello madam Asia. My name is Narberal, head maid of the the Liones heir household."

Asia bushed slightly, the nervousness extremely clear on her face "A-Ah! Yes, hello, hi" she said meekly, covering her face with her hands after talking. Nabe looked to me before looking back at Asia. Nabe had an almost unreadable expression on her face, though I could see slight humor and intrigue. "Yes, hello. Lets get you situated in your room, and we can introduce you to the others. Follow me please madam" she said to Asia as she started walking off, Asia hurried to follow.

'*Sigh* I'll have to bring Asia to school with me at lunch to talk to Rias. I'll open a portal to the ORC.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The morning quickly passed by. Not a lot had happened other than introducing Asia to the other girls and watching T.V. I had changed out of my school clothes and was now wearing some grey joggers, a t-shirt and some sliders.

Some of the girls were doing some jobs around the house while me, Ophis and Asia were on the couch just chatting and munching on some food. Even though Asia was slightly nervous she was friendly with the other girls, I also told her about what happened at the church with the others. Since then, nothing had happened in the house.

I picked up my phone from the seat next to me to check the time. The clock on my phone showed as [12:34]. 'Looks like lunch is about to start for them' I thought. I lifted Ophis off me and set her on the seat next to me. When she was sat firmly on the cushion, a pout appeared on her face and she looked to me, great sadness in her eyes. 'I-I-I...suddenly feel like a terrible human being'. Standing up from the couch, I addressed Asia "Come on Asia, I've decided we'll go meet some of my friends now. They should be on lunch in a couple minutes.

Asia arose from her seat and nodded, a nervous aura once again appearing around her. I chuckled before placing my hand on her shoulder "Ahhh, don't worry about meeting them. They're all nice folks. I'm sure they'll love you" I said to her with a grin and thumbs up. A smile made its way onto her face at my words.

I turned from her and made a portal to the ORC.

'Gatom'

I grabbed Asia's hand to walk through the portal, though I was stopped by a pull on my t-shirt. I turned around to look at Ophis. "I'm coming" was all she said before standing up and walking through the portal. 'Right...I guess she's coming as well.'

We walked through the portal and were stood in the ORC. Ophis was already sat in one of the chairs in the clubroom. "Just go sit next to Ophy, she'll keep you company whilst I make some tea for us all" I said to Asia. She nodded and I went to the tea set in the corner of the room. I brewed the tea and poured some for myself before asking if Asia wanted some, she nodded and i did the same for her. The school bell sounded and before long I heard the door to the building open up. Amazing hearing and all that good stuff.

Rias opened the door to the ORC room, passively talking to Akeno "It could be qui-" Though she stopped when she saw people in the clubroom without having been allowed in. Her stance immediately changed to attack but softened when she recognized Ophis. She also looked to me in the corner of the room, next to the tea set. "Hi. Would you like some tea?" I asked the both of them.

Akeno responded first "Ara Ara~ Breaking into the club room already are we? Yes please, I'd love some" She said in a teasing tone. Rias simply said "Yes please" before making her way to seat that faces the whole room. I poured some tea for the both of them and handed them the cup.

I watched as Rias took a sip of the tea, she looked to me before speaking "Its very good, thank you." I smiled at her compliment and nodded in thanks. Akeno did the same.

"You know, Koneko isn't going to be very happy when she sees Ophis eating her chocolate and sweets?" Rias said to me, nodding in the direction of Ophis sitting on the couch. A sympathetic smile appeared on my face before I replied "Possibly, I'll buy her lots of sweets if she gets upset."

I could see Akeno looking warily at Ophis, concern written across her face. 'Not really surprised that she's nervous. But damn, staring at her is a little far.'

"Anyway, as you've seen, I've brought a new friend to introduce you guys to." I said gesturing to Asia. She hid her red face between her hands, seeing her uneasiness, I sat next to her for comfort. "Her names Asia. She's was sadly excommunicated form the church for healing a devil. Which in my opinion is stupid, she was doing the right thing. She's the wielder of twilight healing. I thought it would be nice to introduce my new friend to you guys"

Rias's eyes narrowed slightly when I mentioned the church, though she appeared to start thinking when I mentioned that Asia was the wielder of twilight healing. "Hm. Its very lovely to meet you Asia. I'm sure we can become great friends. Though I feel inclined to tell you that the members of the ORC are devils" Asia's mouth gaped before turning to me "Are you a devil as well Arthur?" She asked curiously.

"Haha. No I'm not Asia. I'm just friends with quite a few supernatural parties, I'm personally only a human. Rias and her club are nice people, believe me when I say they can be trusted. They'll keep you safe if I cant." I said gesturing to those who are in the room and giving Rias a kind smile.

"O-okay, please look after me then" Asia said tilting her head towards where Rias was. Just then the door to the club opened and Koneko and Kiba entered. Within a split second of entering, Koneko looked to Ophis who was currently eating her chocolate and sweets.

*Nom* *Nom* *N-*

Ophis stopped eating the sweets and looked towards Koneko. She pulled the sweats and chocolate into her chest. "Mine" was what she said before disappearing in dark fog. The rest of the clubroom watched in anticipation at what Koneko would do, though everyone was surprised that she sat down quietly on the couch and stared forwards towards the wall. No one said anything, they just looked towards the white haired girl as if waiting for something to happen. For thirty seconds everything was quiet.

'Nabe, do we have any sweets at home?' I subconsciously asked my maid. 'Yes, we have quite a lot. I stacked some up after shopping'. I smiled and asked her to bring a large amount to my position.

The whole ORC other than Koneko, who was still staring at the wall, watched as a portal opened up in the middle of the room. I could see all of them tense as a foot appeared from the portal and gradually a full body came out. It was Nabe in her maid uniform. 'She looks so fucking hot, I don't think I'll ever get use to it. That bastard Sirzechs has had them his whole life. Lucky.' I thought as I appraised her form. She had come through the portal with a large bucket in hand. "I've brought them as you requested Liones-sama." I heard Narberal say in a respectful tone. "Thank you Nabe, much appreciated" I replied to her as I went to grab hold of the bucket of sweets still in her hand and went in for a kiss.

Though as I leaned in, she grabbed my ear with an incredible amount of power "Not in public Arthur-sama!" she said as she pulled my ear upwards.

"ITAI! ITAI! ITAI! NABE-CHAN IT HURTS!" I said. I playfully frowned with comical tears running down my face and I could see an upturn of her lips as she let go of my ear. She released the bucket into my hand "I'll see you back at home Arthur-sama. I will await your return."

"Thank you Nabe! See you in a bit" I said with a large smile on my face. She opened a portal and stepped through. I could see Koneko looking at the bucket of sweets in my hand. I walked to her and rested my hand on her head "Here you go Neko-Chan! Sorry about Ophis stealing your sweets"

Koneko looked me in the eyes before saying thank you and taking the bucket of sweats. "No problem little one." I said back to her as I sat down next to her and stroked her hair. She leaned into my shoulder and carried on eating sweets while getting head pats.

When I looked at everyone else in the room. There were a mixture of emotions appearing on their faces, some happy, some grateful and some confused. Rias was the first to speak "Erm, who was that?" I looked in Rias's direction before focusing on Koneko again "That was Nabe. My head maid and lover!" I said cheerfully. "O-oh! But what about Raynare, didnt you go on a date with her? And what did you do to the exorcists and fallen at the church while were on that subject" She asked with curiosity.

"I mean, I did go on a date with her. I'm not opposed to having a harem. As long as they love me and I love them, that's all that should matter right? And as for the people at the church... Hm. I killed one of the exorcists and fallen angels. After that the exorcists left the area and the other fallen angels now serve my household" I said with a grin. Before Rias could talk, Akeno did "Ara Ara~ Your looking for a harem? I wouldn't mind joining~" She spoke seductively and put her arms under her chest to accentuate them.

"And I wouldn't mind having you~" I said back to her, matching her teasing. Akeno's eyes widened and a blush appeared on her face. I laughed and smiled towards her "Akeno 0, Arthur 1" She smiled back at me. Not one of her fake Onee-sama smiles, a genuine smile. I found that I liked it much more than the usual one.

Rias however spoke on the pervious matter. "Are they going to be a threat?" She asked. I shook my head before replying "They wont. Or at least they wont be unless I tell them to be. So your all good, they would help you if I asked them to" She nodded in acceptance.

Throughout all if this, Asia sat calm listening to the conversations. I decided it would be good for her to bond with everyone in the club, so for the rest of lunch she spoke with each member, getting to know them. At the end of lunch when the bell rang, we all said our goodbyes and me and Asia went home through a portal.

Though I didnt notice the messages I had been receiving on my phone throughout the whole morning.
