"Buchou, are you fine?" Issei asked with concern. He could feel how much Rias was depressed but there is the last thing she wanted to take care of.
"Yes, I am fine," Rias answered as she walked with the rest of them without any expression.
Azazel had sad look on his face and was thinking about how to persuade Yukio to get his little brother back. He then let them sit in his house before going away.
"What do you think he wanted to show?" Issei asked.
"I think I might have an idea," Rias said.
"Issei-san look, Raynare!" Asia averted their thoughts pointing at a girl with dead eyes.
"What the hell?!" Issei was enraged by her presence. He looked at Azazel and asked, "What the hell do you want?"
"Issei, calm down and listen to her," Rias said to Issei with a calm voice.
Issei nodded then focused on his first-ever girlfriend. The girl he first fell for was not standing in front of him but he noticed that she was very thin and her eyes had dark spots around them.
Raynare came forward and fell on her knees and looked at Issei with tears coming out from her eyes.
"Issei… Issei-san… please… forgive me…" Raynare said. "Asia-sama… please forgive me too…" She said to panic Asia.
"Hey what happened to her?" Issei was confused by all of this. He wanted to become angry with Raynare but can't do that after seeing her state.
"Asked your overpowered friend. Do whatever you want with her. I am going to sleep… I am tired of all of this…" Azazel being a victim of Yukio's punishment went to sleep.
Issei was now getting clear what was going on then saw a piece of paper in her chest pocket.
[Dear Issei. As you can see, it's my way of doing things. Before I went out of town, I gave you the ability to curse anyone to death. I hoped you never used it but you went enraged when Raynare killed Asia. When you punched Raynare, you gave her the curse of seeing deathly nightmares until she receives forgiveness from you and Asia. It could be my way of blaming you but that's how it is. You see I didn't do injustice with you or Asia by letting go of her. She won't do anything to you. I know you loved her once that's why I saved her but now her life or death is in your hands. I hope you forgave me if I sound cruel. Best of luck.]
Issei was sad by this. He didn't know whether to be angry with Yukio or happy. He knew how much Yukio cares for his friend and family and can go to any length.
"P-Please stand up… i-I forgive you… please don't cry…" Asia said with a smile and didn't take a minute to forgive Raynare and give her support to let her stand.
"Yeah, we could talk…" Issei was still confused.
"Sob* Issei-san… Issei-sama, please forgive me and end my life. I have done many cruel things to you and Asia-chan despite your care! Pleaseee, forgive me…" Raynare started to cry with tears and snots.
"Okay, okay… stand up and drink water." Issei was confused but he can't just see his first love interest in this state no matter what she did. He can't let a girl suffer. In his view, she still deserves a chance.
He and Asia decided to comfort Raynare since she was not stable.
"You should take care of her. I have to go." Rias decided to leave. Issei and Asia nodded.
In actuality, she decided to run. She didn't know what's going on anymore. Tears started to fall from her eyes as she was walking to her residence. By seeing the punishment Raynare received one might want to hate Yukio for that but she can't just let herself hate or even become angry anymore at him after what he had done to her. He took that attack which could have ended her life upon himself with a smile on his face. She felt very warm yet very terrified when she saw that white sphere that Yukio made to kill Vali yet when he saw the terror in her eyes, he decided to give up on that for her. She felt very pathetic when his lovers had confidence in him whereas she was fidgeting from fear.
She opened the gate of the residence and saw Akeno standing there.
"Rias, we needed to talk," Akeno said to Rias with a serious tone.
Rias didn't say anything and threw herself in Akeno's embrace.
"Sob* Help me Akeno… I don't know what's going on anymore… this feeling in my chest is torturing me… I don't know what I should do…" Rias cried with tears flowing from her eyes in Akeno's embrace.
Akeno knew that her friend was harboring feelings for Yukio yet she still fears to tell him for fear that he might reject her.
"I know what you should do," Akeno said with a smile patting Rias.

"This is very troublesome…" Sirzechs sighed.
"Indeed. Things are getting chaotic…" Michael also sighed.
After that incident, I take both of them to meet Cleria and Masaomi, the human devil couple. Cleria explained her circumstance how she was betrayed by her fellow devils and Masaomi also explained how he was betrayed by the church.
Michael was shocked when he found out that there are some moles still in church but what's more, there is a spy on seraph along with many angels who found a loophole in the system and are cooperating with Khaos Brigade.
Sirzechs found out the use of King Piece that is using by old devil factions to rise in ranks and do as they please. King Piece in rating games is just cheat items that boost the power of any devil from 1 to 100. Upon finding this news, old devils decided to act to kill Cleria along with cooperation from an exorcist to kill a human who fell in love with a devil. It was a win-win situation for both sides.
Michael and Sirzechs then apologized to the couple since it was a big mistake from their side.
Sirzechs asked whether she wants her position as governor of Kuoh Town back for compensation for what she went through and came with him to the underworld to get a high ranking position as a reward for providing valuable information. He can see that Cleria is very strong and has no doubt that she is of the level of Super Devil.
Michael also asked to give Masaomi a good position in the church or take him under his own since every angel has one or two subordinates from the church. He could also see the potential and magical energy from Masaomi and does not doubt that Masaomi could be a great asset for his faction.
But both Cleria and Masaomi politely refused to go with them.
"I apologize Sirzechs-sama but I won't go underworld anytime soon. I might visit my cousin but I will remain in the human world with my husband and raise my child away from any chaos. Also to serve my savior Yukio-kun as long as I can." Cleria said with an appreciation for me. She was sitting with her husband while I have Claire on my lap who is sleeping since she was tired from all this long talk. She always went to sleep in my arms.
"Same here Michael-sama. Yukio-kun here is our savior and has provided us everything without asking for a single penny. I have everything here and don't want anything except a fulfilling life with my family and to serve Yukio-kun till my death." Masaomi gently said holding his wife's hand.
"I see. Then I shall excuse myself Yukio-dono. I again thank you for everything you have done. I have some matters to discuss and inform my fellow devil kings to solve this issue." Sirzechs said.
"Same here. Today was a tiring day. I have to take care of many things. I again appreciate your kind help. Please visit the Vatican sometimes as you are a star in our city." Michael said.
Both of them went their ways leaving four of us.
"As I said you guys can live your life as you can. I might be strict and secretive but not anymore." I said with a sigh gently caressing Claire's hair. I was a little secretive of them in the beginning but I felt that it is useless now since I just don't want them to be tied by me.
"Fufu, we know that's why we want to do this. Don't be too emotional about this. I will be sticking with you and keep bothering you to teach me magic." Cleria said with a laugh. They don't feel shame asking for anything as long as that is reasonable.
"Yeah, and it's not like we are unhappy about it. I still like to do normal work away from the fight. Though I still need a good partner to manage the business. You have been dumping every business onto me. I don't even know where to put money anymore." Masaomi said. I have good business apart from café in all over japan from hotels to hospitals but I keep dumping it to him. Currently, he is one of the richest men in the world but didn't reveal his identity to the media that much. How? I am controlling this country.
"Yeah, such a meanie! I want to spend some time on research but you keep dumping management of business onto us. I want a secretary type of person who could manage all of this." Cleria pouted cutely looking at me.
"Hehe, I know I will get some personnel," I said with a laugh. I have a certain white hair bachelor valkyrie in mind.
"Is she going to be one of your girlfriends?" Masaomi asked but averted his eyes.
"Maybe. Well we should wrap things up since tomorrow is her school and you should also go." I said as I stood up and kissed Claire on her cheek before giving her to Cleria and they teleported to their home in main Tokyo.
Kuroka has already taken Xenovia and Irina to talk to them. Guess it's Akeno's turn to sleep with me. Well, it doesn't matter I am not a horny beast and rarely do night activity. I just don't like to sleep alone. Well, I don't need to sleep anymore but I like to retain a little bit human side that is still left.
I happily walked to my room and saw Rias staring at the stars from the window of my room.
"Princess, what are you doing here?" I asked on instinct.
