Chapter 23. Mew's Battle Debut! and Trouble in Kyoto!.

Rias stepped up to the middle of the open space and looked around for a bit, she frowned as she saw the intensive damage caused to the open area behind her club's building by the strange but powerful creatures under Rean's command.

She the turned her gaze towards YunYun, Asia, and Rika who were happily petting and feeding some sort of colorful cupcakes to the creatures who seemed more that happy from the attention they were receivingfrom the girls.

I noticed Rias stare towards my Pokemon and the girls, she seemed lost in though for a while but then she turned her gaze towards me "... all of you seem so carefree and happy, truth be told I'm a little jealous of you and your friends".

I frowned upon hearing her words, I didn't like the fact that she was assuming things "we all had a tough past and our own obstacles to overcome, it wasn't easy but we worked hard to gain the strength to protect our freedom, something you should have done so a long time ago".

Rias frowned but didn't say anything while I continued "Serafall told me that you were told that you could fight against you betrothed for your freedom quite some time ago, she herself told me that she doesn't understand why you didn't train all of this time, if you really opposed the arranged marriage you should have done everythingin your disposal to gain strength, this is the reason your family doesn't take you seriously when you say you don't want to marry your fiance, you never did anything but complain about it after all".

Rias's eyes widen in shock while I just shrugged "when I awakened to my powers and learned about the supernatural world I trained and trained everyday, I put my life on the line to grow stronger and stronger along my Pokemon! all just so I can be free and safe from the dangers from the Supernatural beings that were bound to come and try to get in my way, it was later when Serafall became an important part of my life that I decided I would grow strong to protect her as well and overtime others became as important to me as her, that's why I never stopped training".

Rias actually took a step back from the tone of my voice as Sona and her peerage stared at me in disbelieve but I ignored all of that "I worked really hard for my power but you? you see that your running out time and the first thing you do is ask for me to help you?... you have been too lazy all of this time Rias Gremory and now you expect the solution to your problem to magically land on you lap but life doesn't work like that, after today you will learn that we must take responsibility for our decisions and actions Come Mew!".

Mew appeared in flash of white light right in front of me and began to float around cheerfully giggling, Rias gritted her teeth and tighten her fist, she didn't like the fact that she was being scolded like this and the fact that her mother has said the same thing to her not so long made things worse for her but she couldn't even deny the truth in Rean's words, she knew that she has been too lazy and easy going with her betrothal situation.

She had let her love for Japan and it's entertainment industry distract her and she had forgotten her troubles with the busy life of a regular student until her problems had finally come to bite her in the ass.

She knew Rean and her mother were right but that still pisses her off and so she glared at the pink cat floating in the air and giggling as if it was mocking her, she knew this new creature must be powerful so she waved her hand and shot forward a beam of Power of Destruction towards the strange floating cat.

I saw Rias's intentions way before she even move and before she even began to me I tod Mew what to do "Mew use Protect".

Mew immediately used Protect stopping the beam, surprising Rias and the rest of the devils, Mew then used Teleport and teleported right behind Rias "Use Flash now".

Rias quickly turned around to stop whatever it was that mew was going to do but Mew used Flash unleashing a bright white light that hit Rias point black causing her to jump back while holding her eyes in pain.

Mew then wasted no time, she twirled in the air and then touched the ground with her little paw and used a Eerie Impulse which washed over and lowered Rias's magic power by a lot.

I watched as Mew giggled and floated upside down as she waited for Rias to recover from the Flash attack she had been hit with "I see, so Mew noticed how dangerous the Power of Destruction is and she decided to weaken Rias just in case...".

I then looked at the notification I received the moment I saw Rias use the Power of Destruction and I knew that I now have that same magic as well, first was Boost and now PoD how useful it is to watch protagonists fight.

Rias rubbed her eyes and then slowly opened them, she then watched as the strange pink cat was once again rolling in mid air and giggling, Rias growled in frustration and then waved one of her arms shooting forward many small orbs of PoD, of course I reacted instantly "use Psychic! stop and sent them back".

Mew stopped playing in mid air and her eyes glowed as soon as the orbs got close to her, stopping them in mid air, she then spun around once and shot them back to Rias who in a panic jumped to the side to dodge her own power from killing her.

But Mew then used her Psychic to make the orbs of PoD followed Rias who then took off flying and began to franantically dodge her own attack until she then stopped and let out a burst of PoD destroying the orbs, it seemed like Mew had a plan if the grin on her face was any indication and so I choose to let her do her own thing.

Mew giggled and then spun around while glowing in a bright blue light, knowing what she was doing I took an umbrella from my inventory and opened it to the confusion of the devils.

YunYun giggled because she knew I did that to be dramatic and she then created a barrier above a big area her, Asia, Rika and the Pokémon.

Suddenly it began to heavily rain in the area from Mew's Rain Dance and Rias was having a hard time seeing and moving in the air with the heavy rainfall pelting her.

The rest of the devils scramble to use magic to stop themselves from getting wet from the sudden downpour.

But all of that wasn't what Mew was planning no, the little Psychic Type Pokemon raised a tiny paw towards the darkened sky and suddenly a giant bolt of lightning dropped down from the black clouds and hit Rias directly.

The Gremory heir let out a howl of pain after being hit by such large amount of electricity and after the attack subsided she then drop to the ground where she harshly crashed on the floor bellow.

Mew however had no intention of giving Rias any time to recover and with one more fun filled giggle she then wave her tail and used Muddy Water, the giant wave of water and mud quickly traveled towards Rias and hit her, Rias being completely unprepared for an attack could only gasp as she was immediately dragged by the mud filled water wave all the way to the surrounding trees around the field, where she was slammed and dragged around the trees and ground.

Mew then whirled and all the chaos suddenly stopped, Mew giggled and began to dance around the field while still floating in mid air.

Sona and her peerage couldn't believe what they just saw, that little 'and quite adorable' pink cat was mopping the floor with a high class devil who also can use the Power of Destruction with such ridiculous ease and the same creature seems to be having way to much fun doing so.

Rias suddenly flew out from somewhere between the trees she had been dragged into, she was breathing heavily and had a lot of bruises and cuts around her body, her uniform was heavily damaged and very wet she then rubbed her face to try to get rid of the mud on in it since it was making her have a hard time seeing.

Rias after a while she was finally able to regain her breath and her sight she then glared towards Mew who was just having fun playing, flying around while doing air tricks, Rias then pointed an open hand and began to shoot big orbs of PoD at high speed towards Mew who upon noticing the upcoming attacks began to teleport around all over the place to dodge the big orbs of destruction.

Rias grew frustrated from being unable to hit Mew and began to use her other hand to shoot even more orbs of PoD but Mew continued to easily dodge them all until she suddenly teleported right in front of Rias and then used Poison Jab hitting Rias hard on the stomach with her now purple colored tail.

Rias folded around Mew's tail and a purple blush appeared on her face, Mew then use Psyshock to bring Rias down to the ground.

Rias scream all the way down from both the damage she received from the Psyshock and her fall to the ground, until she crashed against it back first, bounce once from the impact before then landed on her back again and stayed there on the ground breathing heavily from both her injuries and the poison.

Mew then created an Aura Sphere between her little paws and then raised it above her head, the Aura Sphere then began to grow and grow until it was a giant orb of aura.

Rias eyes widen in shock upon seeing the giant orb of energy and Mew then giggled and brought it down shooting towards Rias who in a panic tried to move or rolled but her injuries and the poison didn't let her move at all and so she couldn't do anything but to watch as the orb travel towards her.

Sona and her peerage panicked and tried to move but then I used Psychic to keep them from intervening which shocked and scared them.

Rias then began to tear up and then cry as she watched the orb approached her until she couldn't take it anymore and suddenly screamed "I GIVE UP!".

The giant Aura Sphere suddenly burst and showered the entire area in a shower of bright and beautiful rain drops of blue Aura, everyone started in disbelieve at the beauty created by such powerful attack.

Rias with tears in her eyes looked up at Mew in surprise and watched as Mew clapped and giggled like she just had the time of her life, suddenly she heard footsteps and she turned her head to the side only to see Rean stand there staring at her.

Rias coughed and then closed her eyes " sigh... you won...".

I nodded at her and then looked up towards Mew who was having fun celebrating which brought a smile to my face, I then spoke up "I did, I hope you learned something from all of this".

Rias huffed "yeah I noticed what you did, I'm not stupid you know? sigh... we're too one dimensional, you took down our one method of attack and left us with nothing to attack you with... all of this was just one big show and game for you".

I closed my eyes and then use Cure and Recovery to both heal and cure Rias's poisoned status, after that I reversed time in the open area returning everything to the condition it was before the battles even began "that's right, you wasted a lot of time Gremory, if your going to train you should work on you weaknesses first instead of just wanting to get stronger".

Mew then landed on my head and hugged it while giggling making me chuckled "had fun huh? well it's been a while since you battled so I can understand why you decided to show off, let go home Mew we got things to do".

Mew chirped her name and I then walked towards YunYun, Asia and Rika who were already waiting for me, I used Psychic to float Koneko to where Sona's peerage was taking care of Akeno and then when we all got together I teleported everyone to Wiz's shop to help close it and lock it up for the day with both Sakuya and Wiz.

While Sona's peerage took care of Kiba, Akeno, Issei and Koneko, Sona herself walked up to where Rias was laying down and looking up at the now clear and sunny sky, once she arrived to Rias, Sona then spoke up "are you okay Rias?".

Rias turned her head towards her best friend and rival and gave her a sad smile "I'm fine... it's just my pride which was utterly destroyed... but at least now I know what to work on in the upcoming two weeks of training".

Sona sighed and then nodded, she herself noticed what Rean was trying to show to Rias and it seemed like her best friend understood it, now all she could do is cheer for her when the time came for Rias to fight for her freedom.

After we arrived to Wiz's shop and after explaining why we were so late, everyone then went to work on closing the shop, while I checked my quest rewards and the skills I've obtained due to Mimicry.

First was the Power of Destruction, the Power of Destruction is a type of demonic energy, that grants its users great explosive power and can completely annihilate things when used.

The Power of Destruction is said to be a very difficult power to defend against due to its erasure properties, as the most effective way to guard against it would be to counter the destruction blast with ranged attacks.

This is the hereditary power of the Bael devil clan and now I have it as well the only difference is that my Stardust energy is the one gaining the erasure trait and since my Stardust energy is purple no one will be able to recognize my use of it, of course it's at level one so I have quite a lot to grind before it could be as powerful to Rias's and even more so to reach the level of Sirzechs Lucifer, thankfully I have the Instant Dungeons and world jumping available to me to train such power later.

Next we have Ddraig's ability Boost, once a unique ability exclusive to Ddraig the Heavenly Dragon and the Red Dragon Emperor, this ability allows me to double my powers every ten seconds until I hit my limit.

Boost is technically the Kaioken for dragons which is perfect for me, being a Heavenly Dragon myself also allows me to boost constantly for quite a few times, as it is I might not have a limit to how many boost I can do but the best part of this skill, is that I can use these boosts with my Skills, Spells and Techniques to increase their range, power, area of effect and even speed.

But as with the Power of Destruction its on level one which limits for how long I can keep the boosts on which is twelve seconds but as I level it up that time should increased making it one of the best skills I have, for now I'll have to grind it as well, thankfully I can activate it silently so no one will be able to know I'm even using such skill unless I want it to let it be known.

As for the Legendary Pokemon Token and Mythical Pokemon Token I received, I decided to summon Solgaleo (male) a Steel and Fire Type Legendary Pokemon from Pokemon sun and moon and then Diancie (female) a Fairy and Rock Type Pokemon, with these new additions to the team I'm sure well be more than ready for anything, we just need to grind for a while so all the new Pokemon can catch up to the rest.

Next was Sonic Dash (Castlevania DS) which is a skill that causes an energy shockwave to engulf me as I move in high-speed causing damage to everything I touch as I move, it also protects me from most types of projectiles.

Then we have the skill Braveheart (Castlevania DS) which when activated it gives me a resistance to being pushed back and flinching, not a very useful skill to me since I have dragon scales which have the same effect but it is a great skill for the girls.

And then we have Protagonist's Growth which is a perk that exponentially increases Luck and my growth rate for all my Skills, Spells and Techniques.

This technically means that all my abilities level up way faster now and that also means that as this Perk levels up the more faster will my abilities grow, Dragon Will and Protagonist's Growth are the most useful perks in my arsenal as of now since with this two active I can grind and get stronger faster.

It's also a great perk to give to the girls since this will allow everything I gave them to grow even faster now, increasing their already high level of power, I couldn't help but be glad that I got that quest and received these rewards, now that I was done checking everything I immediately went to help the girls clean up and close up the shop.

We still have a guest to take care off after all, soon we all finished and I immediately teleported Rika home and then ourselves back to our house, we were all worried about our little guest and we wanted to check on her as soon as possible.

Once we arrived into our home, Serafall immediately went to met us at that door, along with our now awake tiny guest who was being followed by Ninetails and after explaining everything that happened today we all went sit down in the living room.

Upon hearing what had happened with Rias, Serafall huffed and shook her head "sigh... I swear those girls act more like children than the eighteen years old that they are.. in any case we'll let it slide for now, it isn't important, Kunou can you tell Rean and my friends what you told me".

Kunou the little kitsune looked down, she seemed very stressed and sad, so I reached a hand and gave her a little pat on her head causing her to look up at me in curiosity, I gave her a smile which seemed to have helped her relax because she gave me a small smile as well.

I then brought my hand back and waited for her to start speaking which didn't take long since she nodded to herself and began to explain "...yesterday morning, mommy and I were just playing in the palace garden like always when the intruder alert wards began to go off everywhere, mommy immediately went to take a look and left me with the guards in a secret room in the palace but the intruders found us and... my guards died trying to protect me...".

Kunou looked down for a second and then continued her story "thanks to them I was able escape into Kyoto but everywhere I went I was attacked by these humans calling themselves heroes and other Yokai! how can they call themselves heroes! they killed and hurt so many of the Yokai living in Kyoto! and those other Yokai didn't only watched them do so but help them as well!...".

Kunou teard up and then began to cry, Serafall and the girls immediately hugged her, Ninetails just layed her head on Kunou's lap letting her know she was there for her.

*So it is the Hero faction and it seemed that some Yokai also betrayed Yasaka and Kyoto as whole, it seems like the Khaos Brigade is making some moves ahead of time, the question is, why? and why now?*.

I frowned as I thought about what could have pushed this attack to happen ahead of time but I couldn't think of anything so for now I'll have to wait until I have more information about all of this.

Kunou took a few minutes to calmed down but the hugs from the girls and Ninetails's support helped do so, she seemed a bit embarrassed about crying in front of us but I just gave her smiled which she shakely return.

After regaining her composure she began to tell us what happened next "I ran and ran looking for my mom while fighting and helping as many people as I could, eventually I found my mom fighting a group of humans with Sacred Gears... the moment they saw me the instantly try to get to me and hold me hostage but Mommy didn't let them!".

Serafall smiled at Kunou who seemed very proud of her mother "but then one of the humans took out some kind of spear and mom panicked, I don't know why but whatever that spear is, it must be very scary if mom got so nervous about it...".

Serafall and I frowned, I'm pretty sure she already guessed what that spear is, just as I know what it is as well , Kunou continued on "mommy rushed forward and hugged me, she then activated an emergency teleport circle and told me to find lady Serafall, that she would protect but we were attacked before the circle activated, mommy tried to protect me but we were both really hurt, so when I was finally teleported I arrived in Kuoh very tire and injured... I turn into my fox form to conserve mana but I couldn't move because everything hurt so much... thankfully miss Yuki! found me and took care of me, she even brought me to lady Serafall!".

Kunou then smiled at Ninetails and hugged her causing everyone to smile, I smiled at Ninetails "Yuki? do you like that name Ninetails?".

Ninetails looked up at me and nodded causing me to chuckle "very well, then that will be your name from now on".

The now nicknamed Yuki nodded and smiled, Serafall smiled at both of them and then turned towards me to speak "Yasaka is an old friend of mine and I have always told her that if she ever needed help she could always count on me, so she made an emergency teleport circle that would bring Kunou to me just in case some thing happen, I told Yasaka that I was moving to Kuoh when we began to furnish our home so she knew where to send Kunou, Rean... I know you want to stay neu-".

I cut off Serafall because I already knew what she was going to ask "you know you can ask me for anything Serafall, so let's go help your friend and Kyoto, okay?".

Serafall teared up a bit but then Kunou excitedly looked up to me "ah~ you must must be lady Serafall's boyfriend right? mommy has been so jealous of lady Serafall because she keeps gloating to mommy about you, hehe mommy has been pouting and gloomy about it for while".

We all turned towards Serafall who jumped a bit and began to nervously sweat "...ah! I couldn't help it! I finally have a awesome and cool boyfriend and I wanted to show it off! I regret nothing!".

Ah and now Serafall was pouting and blushing bright red, I just chuckled and patted Kunou's head causing her to giggle, making me glad that she wasn't sad anymore "I am Serafall's boyfriend my name is Rean Hayashi and the girls with us are Asia Argento, YunYun, Wiz and Sakuya Izayoi, it's nice to meet you Kunou".

Kunou smiled and waved at everyone which everyone returned as well she then turned towards me and nodded "its nice to meet you big bro! thank you so much for wanting to help mommy!".

I grinned at her and stood up while sitting her in my shoulders causing her to squeal in excitement "any friends of Serafall are my friends as well, now let's get ready everyone, it seems we're heading into battle!".

As soon as I said that a new quest popped up and I wasted no time checking it out while the girls left to get ready for battle.

* Holy shit!... damn looks like we're going to have a quick war, I better tell the girls just what exactly we're jumping into*.

I stayed behind with Kunou and Yuki to think while they get ready, Kunou was cheerfully speaking with Yuki while I watch them with a smile.

Suddenly the girls returned and I stood up to tell them the information I just received from the quest notification "okay so I just got a notification and I can confirm who exactly are we facing once we get to Kyoto".

The girls the gave me their full attention while Kunou tilted her head in curiosity no knowing what I meant by notification, I just continued with speaking about what I just found out "it's the Hero faction along traitors to the Yokai faction that are currently attacking Kyoto, Yasaka seems to be fine for now since I didn't get an objective of rescuing her though I did get the names of who I think are the leaders of the Hero Faction, Cao Cao, Georg Faust, Jeanne, Heracles and Siegfried".

YunYun, Asia, Wiz and Sakuya didn't react to those names, three of them weren't native to this world and Asia was kept out of the loop by the church most of the time so she probably doesn't have a clue of who these people were but Serafall does.

Serafall frowned and looked into my eyes "I see so reincarnations of past Heroes huh?".

I nodded but then shrugged "yes but they're just that, reincarnations, they're just humans with Sacred Gears so they're not much of a threat, that's why they teamed up with the Yokai traitors but two of them can be a challenge to Yasaka because of their Sacred Gears.

The girls frowned and Kunou got physically worried but Yuki wrapped her tails around her calming her down, while I continued on "Cao Cao and Georg are the most dangerous of the bunch with Cao Cao being the wielder of the True Longinus and Georg being the wielder of Dimension Lost".

Serafall tiredly sighed "tch! so that's how they were able to overcome the guards and Yasaka".

I nodded "yes, Yasaka I believe is a high Ultimate Class being so it is quite surprising that she's having trouble facing against humans but the True Longinus is bad enough and she's probably dealing with Dimension Lost as well".

Serafall nodded and the girls just looked serious, Kunou once again looked worried but I patted her head and gave her a smile "don't worry, we can deal with all of that no problem plus Yuki will help us as well along all my friends".

Kunou looked up at me and then to Yuki who nodded at her, I then smiled and picked her up in my arms and took her to the back of the house, once outside she could now see all my Pokemon already waiting outside the house, they all look ready to go to battle with all of us.

Kunou stared with widen eyes at all the majestic and powerful looking creatures and then turned her head towards me "see? this are all my friends, like Yuki they're all Pokemon and they're family but I'm sure they'll love to be your friends as well".

The Pokemon smiled and I then place Kunou on the ground on her feet, she hesitated a bit but then she approached the quite big group of Pokemon who all cheerfully began to smile and let her pet them.

The girls the walked up to me and smiled as they watched Kunou play with the Pokemon, Sakuya then spoke up "how do you want to do this Rean, this sounds like we're going to war".

I nodded "well not exactly, I don't think these guys will give us a lot of trouble but let's not underestimate them, I'll take care of Georg and Cao Cao, Sakuya you deal with Jeanne, Wiz you deal with Siegfried and Serafall you have Heracles, don't waste any time and don't let them use their Sacred Gears, kill them as fast as possible".

The girls nodded while I turned towards YunYun and Asia "Asia you go with YunYun and heal any aly Yokai you find, protect each other and the civilians and use the Mini Map to check which one are allies or enemies".

Both girls nodded and then high five each other causing me to chuckle in amusement "leave the traitor Yokai to the Pokemon, I'll have them go through Kyoto and deal with them all, plus I'll be having Kunou with me, she's going to be the one to explain to Yasaka that we're here to help plus Yuki will be protecting her".

The girls nodded and Serafall then grinned "great idea Rean, no doubt Yasaka is pretty tense and in high alert so she might attack you or the girls, having Kunou explain the situation to her will be a great course of action".

Kunou heard us and then approached us well rather Dragonite approached us while having Kunou in a hug "okay! I'll make sure to explain everything to mommy big bro!".

I nodded to her and then turned towards the girls "don't hold back, strike fast and hard, we have been training in the Instant Dungeons for a long time now, so I know we're ready for this!".

The girls cheered, the Pokemon then cheered as well and finally Kunou who watched everyone cheer she decided to cheer loudly as well "oh! Serafall you better tell Sona that we'll be missing school for a while".

Serafall nodded and immediately took out her cellphone to call her sister to let her know to take care of those absences for Rean, YunYun and Asia.

Meanwhile I introduced each and every Pokemon to Kunou who happily listened as I told her small details about every Pokemon, she seemed to get along with each Type of Pokemon and that makes me wonder if its because Yokai are very attuned to nature.

In any case all the Pokemon seemed very happy to help Kunou forget her worries right now, soon we'll be eading into battle but for now we we're more than willing to let her have some fun, especially after what she went through yesterday.

Soon Serafall came back, I then gave each and every girl, including Kunou a whole set of Gels and Life Bottles just in case, I myself will be carrying a whole stock of them, most of these were store brought but I did have quite a big stock of magical medicine made by me with my Alchemy skill which were more powerful and effective.

The girls immediately put the magical medicine into their pocket dimension and Kunou did the same with her own version of the pocket dimension spell.

After that we were officially ready and with a nod I teleported everyone to the outskirts of Kyoto where we'll begin our mission to save both Yasaka and Kyoto.

Meanwhile Rias and her peerage were looking pretty down, all of them lost quite badly to Rean's familiars and that not only hurt physically but their pride took a big hit as well.

None of them could do anything against their opponents and even though Issei had made a breakthrough with his Boosted Gear his opponent was still way beyond his ability to defeat.

Not only that but it was also the ease in which those strange creatures had taken down their major talents, Koneko's strength and durability meant nothing if her opponent could tank her attacks and hit harder than her, plus her enemy had access to all kinds of abilities, that gave it variety some thing Koneko wasn't prepared for..

Kiba's speed meant nothing if he couldn't even approached his enemy, that creature not only controlled the entire battle field by booby trapping it but it was way faster and stronger than him to begin with, ultimately Rean was right, how can he speak of facing him when he can't even defeat one of his familiars.

Issei was pissed, not only did he failed his King but he was taken down quite easily but not only that, when he unlocked more power it was just not enough and Rean showed that he still wasn't even close to ever be strong enough to beat that strange creature he faced, Ddraig the dragon living inside his Sacred Gear even told him that it was holding back all this time, at any moment that creature could have easily killed him and that made Issei very nervous and afraid, he was just beginning to understand just what kind of world he just joined.

Akeno was in pain, she still couldn't talk from that devastating attack to the throat she received from that strange creature, apparently there was some kind of dark energy keeping the pain and injuries from being healed and now she had to wait until it dissipated on its own before she could even heal her throat let alone speak again.

For the first time ever she was regretting letting out her sadistic tendencies out though the way Rean ordered his familiar to silence her did turn her on a bit but the worst thing about all of this is that her one to go type of magic was completely useless against that strange creature leaving her defenseless against it, this hurt her pride as a Queen.

Rias was silently coming up with training methods, they might have gotten their asses kicked but at least now she knew what she needs to work on to improve not only her but her peerage as well.

Tomorrow they're leaving to a mountain house where they can train in peace for the next two weeks, it was a short time but she was going to make sure she and her peerage are ready for anything.

However while all of this was happening, someone else was watching the battles that took place today in the open space in the back of the Occult Research Club, this person seemingly seemed to be undetected by everyone since she was using a small colorful bird familiar to watch what was going on.

She become amazed at the strength and power of the creatures under Rean's command and the strategies he had used against Rias and her peerage.

Inwardly she was also very happy that Rean had refused to help Rias train for the battle against her brother she was well aware that if he had agreed her brother might not stand a chance but she had to admit that Rean himself has caught her attention.

Now she was looking forward to having her bird familiar followed him from a distance so she could watch what else this mysterious and quite powerful individual will be doing from now on.

She was also very surprised to find out that Serafall Leviathan lives and is in a relationship with Rean but that just made her more interested in him, luckly she had heard that they were going to Kyoto so as soon as she saw that they teleported away she herself teleported her bird familiar to Kyoto to watch Rean exploits some more.
