Ch 34

Xenovia glared at Ryuhei, she ignored the pain in her shoulder and said "Why are you siding with the witch?"

Ryuhei got even more angry and said. "What right do you have to call Asia a witch?"

"If she's not a witch, then what is she? She used to be a saint and now she's on the side of the devil. She even has the ability to heal devils and angels. fallen."

Hearing what Xenovia said made Ryuhei laugh dryly, the temperature in the room even dropped.

"The church has sent you on a suicide mission, they have hidden and deceived so many people. They even conducted extreme experiments on innocent children. That's what God has taught? The church dares to call someone as good and pure as Asia a witch while they act like monsters."

Xenovia was now enraged and pointed her giant sword at Ryuhei. "Bastard. How dare you insult the church. You're a human. You shouldn't be on the side of devils and witches. You should be on the side of god."

After that, Ryuhei put his hand on Asia's head and pulled her head against him making Asia blush. "I'm her friend, of course I'll be on her side." Then he looked at Asia and said . "Asia, if god isn't on your side then I'll be on yours."

Ryuhei then turned to Xenovia and said.

"To answer your question as to why I'm not on the side of the church. In my eyes, the church is nothing more than a pile of trash. They're a bunch of fakes and trash," Ryuhei replied simply.

The room fell into silence, Asia quietly went to heal Xenovia.

Ryuhei then looked directly into the eyes of Xenovia, who was feeling conflicted because she insulted Asia a while ago.

"I ask you, is God a Sacred Gear?"

"That's right. It really is a creation created by God. This is God's gift to mankind." Xenovia nodded slightly.

"Oh, another question. Can humans arbitrarily choose the Sacred Gear they receive?"

"Of course not. God is the one to choose." Xenovia continued to answer calmly.

"Last question, Asia has been given a Sacred Gear. So why is it Asia's fault that such a Sacred Gear can heal the devil?"

Hearing this made Xenovia take a step back.

"It was possible that the Sacred Gear couldn't heal devils at first, but because she's an evil person, now the Sacred Gear can heal devils." Xenovia is still stubborn.

Hearing the answer he wanted to hear made Ryuhei grin.

"You mean God made a mistake by giving the Sacred Gear to Asia?"

"Of course God can't be wrong... it's just..." Xenovia fell into a state of contradiction. She found herself unable to argue with Ryuhei. Xenovia decided to change the subject.

"Even so, Asia is not allowed to become a devil. She betrayed Father."

"Ryuhei-san, you are very knowledgeable about church-related matters. Why don't you join us? Even if you get involved with the devil, God will still forgive you." Irina innocently said. After that both Xenovia and Irina left, they didn't want to argue with Ryuhei any more. They know that they will surely lose the argument .

However, Ryuhei only snorted when he saw the two exorcists leave. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder. He thought it was Asia, she would be touched by Ryuhei's protection.

Ryuhei turned around and saw Kiba smiling at him.

"Stop it Kiba, it's me, it's your senpai. Don't look at me like that."

"Ah yes, I'm sorry. It's just that I'm glad to see how you treat those two exorcists. ' Kiba said.

That night, instead of training like usual, Kiba went out on patrol with Koneko. Irina met Issei and somehow both Saji and Issei joined Xenovia and Irina's quest. What Ryuhei couldn't believe was that they even asked Kiba to join. Rias was so worried about Kiba and Koneko that she decided to leave with Akeno.

It didn't take long for him and Asia to receive word from Xenovia. Irina has lost consciousness due to the defeat and Xenovia is chasing Freed, who stole Irina's holy sword.

Ryuhei and Asia then moved to the location they had promised. It was Rias who informed him of Kokabiel's presence.

"It's been a long time since I killed someone." Ryuhei muttered as he moved to the school.

When Ryuhei arrived, Sona and the student council members arrived. Ryuhei just glanced at Sona before he continued walking. The other members were all separated into two sides that looked like a road, Saji and Issei just looked down at the ground without daring to look up at Ryuhei.

Ryuhei also noticed Kiba's angry expression. He spoke to Kiba in a simple voice.

"I know about your problem with Excalibur so I'll let you do what you want. "

Kiba shot Ryuhei a grateful look before continuing to walk.
