Chapter 16: Little One

Sona's POV:

I looked at Lucas leaving figure until he disappeared.

Sona: "Tsubaki, Momo what do you think?" I asked.

Tsubaki: "Sona Sama, I didn't feel any magic from him. It is either he can conceal his aura or he doesn't have magic but I will go with the former as he has magic fluctuations when he was a human." Tsubaki answered with serious expression.

Momo nodded and said: "I have same conclusion with Tsubaki Senpai, Sona Sama."

I nodded and looked at the floor that was cracked.

Sona: "Let's begin." I said. Tsubaki and Momo took there position from the side for any unexpected incident.

I took out a pawn piece and look at Issei Hyoudou. "I hope you don't disappoint me Hyoudou Kun." I inserted th pawn into Hyoudou's chest but there is no reaction. I anticipated this as I am expecting it to be a Longinus. I continued to insert my pawn pieces until I already gave 7 pawn pieces.

Sona: "Good thing I made Ruruko change to my knight with the help of Ajuka Sama." I murmured as I breath a sigh of relief. I then took the last pawn piece and inserted it to Issei Hyoudou. The magic circle reacted and starts to complete the contract.

Issei Hyoudou's body started to heal fast and I felt the contract was completed.

Sona: "Momo carry Hyoudou. Tsubaki, prepare a teleportation to base. We will explain everything to him after he wakes up." I ordered.

'Will Rias regret his decision?' I thought as I used 8 pawns for Hyoudou. It means his Longinus is higher in ranking than the Regulus Nemea Rias' cousin have.

Lucas POV

As I was leaving the scene, I pondered something. 'It seems Souna Senpai has plans for that guy' I thought as I remembered what Rias said. I did not dwell too much as I don't want to get involved. I continue walking home and as expected, Ophis is waiting for me outside my apartment. 'May be I should give her the Keys?'. 

"Ophis Chan, let's go in first." I said as I opened the door. I went straight to the kitchen to cook then served the dishes and sat opposite to her. "Let's dig in." I said and he started reaching the food.

Lucas: "Little sister, I have something to ask you. Where do you always go during the day?" I asked curiously.

Ophis stopped her movement for awhile and look at me for a second. "To my base." she answered expressionlessly.

Lucas: "Base? Where is your base?" I asked again curiously.

Ophis did not answer me. It seems she is thinking something.

Ophis: "I found people who also wants to defeat RED. They said that they will help me defeat RED and they also asked me to become the leader". she answered and continue to eat her meal.

I frowned upon hearing her answer. 

Lucas: "They made you a leader? What is the name of the Group or Organization?" I asked. I first need to know the people before making my next course of action as I don't know how powerful this group is.

Ophis was silent for a moment. She looks hesitant with that expressionless face. 

Ophis: "Khaos Brigade." She answered monotonously.

I frowned again when I heard her. 'Chaos? Seems like they are not good guys.'

Lucas: "One last thing, why do you want to defeat RED?" I asked. 

Ophis: "A world of silence. I would like to return to the Dimensional Gap that is my home... and reclaim that silence. That is all." She answered. I can see her eyes longing for it.

I was surprise by her simple answer but after a careful thought, I nodded as I can see how innocent her personality is.  'Dimensional Gap? Is Great Red also there?' I pondered.

I did not ask anymore question as it may disturb her happy time.

Lucas POV

Villa Mansion Training Ground

It was Monday today but I did not go to class. I went straight to training to improve my strength. I was alone in the villa mansion and it seems the others have things to do. After improving my magic and blowing up some mountains, I went to the hot spring to relax.

"Ahh this villa mansion is really great!" I said while relaxing. I thought of something shameless again. 'Hehe maybe I can also live here rather than living in an apartment he-he-hwahaha' I thought while having an evil smile on my face. After leaving the hot spring, I resumed my training until late afternoon.

'Hmm, my body needs to be tempered.' I thought as I need my body to be strong enough so I can absorb more magic and increase my limit. 'The environment here is too mild.'  I also noted that I need a more suitable environment that can temper my body.

I prepared to go home as I need to prepare my things for the great relocation.

'I should ask Rias first tomorrow and also ask about Chaos Brigade.' I thought. I went home using teleportation. I did not see Ophis today but did not dwell too much as she is one of the strongest.

I did my routine at night and went to sleep.

It was Tuesday today and I was walking to school as I have to meet Rias. But suddenly I saw the guy with a spiky brown hair alive and kicking. I already guess that Souna would make him his servant as Rias already told me how to make a being become one of his peerage during the discusion. I can also sense the aura of a low class devil on him.

'Tsk tsk, this guy is really lucky.' I saw him bumped into a cute girl wearing a Nun clothes. 'Huh' I was surprise that I can also sense some magic on her. 

'This dude is not afraid that he will be stabbed again?' I remembered the Incident when he got stabbed by a fallen angel girl pretending to be cute and innocent so I concluded that it may be a second attempt. I rolled my eyes in this guy's ignorance.

I was at the back and just followed them from afar. This time I will really going to help him if there will be danger unless some unexpected spell will be casted on me again.

I was surprise when the cute nun approach a boy and heal his wound. I frowned as I remembered the day when 2 fallen angels attacked me and heard there conversation. I pondered and thought some plan in mind to confirm my speculation.

Asia's POV

I was heading to the church happily as I made my first friend after arriving here. I was very happy to meet someone and he helped me find the church. He did not accompany me to the church as he have to do something.

"Help me! Pls!" As I was walking, I heard a cry of a person and I was startled. I look at the direction and I saw a figure at the corner of an alley looking at me pleading for help. His chest seems bleeding profusely.

I approached him hurriedly. "Are you okay?Let me see your wound." I said as kneel down and started to heal his wound.

"Phew" I sighed a breath of relief after healing his wounds. "You should be ok now mister". I said to him with a smile.

He suddenly stood up and checked his wound. "Hehe haha hwahaha". He started to laugh creepily.

I was scared and nervous. "Uhm mister?"

He stopped laughing and looked at me with a creepy smile. "FINALLY!!, Its my turn to bully a loli!! WAHAHA".

He slowly approached me and I retreated back hurriedly as I was scared by him. "What do you mean mister!!?" I asked him nervously.

Lucas: "Is it not obvious? I want to eat you!!" He said as he released his devil wings.

My eyes widened when I saw this. "KYAAAAA!! Please don't eat me Mr. Devil!!" I screamed and begged him.

I saw him approaching and I tried to retreat until I got to the wall. "KYAAA!!" I closed my eyes and screamed as he approached me.

I suddenly felt a pain in my forehead and I subconsciously touched it. "Ouch!!". I want to cry from the pain. "Huhuhu"

Lucas: "Alright, thats enough I am just teaching you a lesson little one." He said in a casual tone.

I heard his voice that is different from before and I looked up. His face is somewhat not that scary anymore as if he was a different person.

"What do you mean Mister Devil?" I asked him warily while rubbing my forehead.

Lucas: "Ah what an innocent child you are." He said as he shook his head.

I was confused by what he mean by that.

Lucas: "Come with me." He said as he approached and carried me. He then flew at the sky.

"Kyaaa!!" I was startled and scared when I was suddenly in the air. I subconsciously held him tightly as not to fall. I just closed my eyes the whole time and I dont know where we are going.

After some time, we landed in an abandoned building. I hurriedly get off him and slightly blushed as it is my first time to be this close to a man.

Lucas: "Wait for me here. I will be back in a minute. Don't try to go out as it is dangerous outside." He said and warned me. He then went outside and left me alone.

I look outside the window to see where we are. The area looks impoverished and I can see people fighting on the streets. I retreated from the window and just waited for Mr. Devil to come back.

After 15 minutes or so. Mr. Devil came back but he was holding a wounded person. He threw the person infront of me and I was a bit scared.

Lucas: "Okay little one. Would you heal him?" He asked me with a curious tone.

I looked at him and look at the person bleeding and enduring the pain.

The person looked at me and said in panic "Please Help me!! He is a monster!! Please help mee!!"

I hurriedly approach the person to heal him but before I could...

Lucas: "Let me remind you little one. Before this, that person was going to torture and kill a mother and her daughter." He said playfully at me.

I stopped on my tracks. I looked at him in a daze.

Lucas: "After you heal him, he may do the things again and you will be the reason for all of it." He added with a serious expression.

I was stunned by what Mr. Devil said. 'Is this the reason why I was abandonned by the church?' I remembered the incident where I healed a devil and got exiled by the church.

"NO, DON'T LISTEN TO HIM! I DID NOT DO IT! IT WAS HIM....." the wounded person began to shout hysterically and I retreated back. Mr. Devil seems to have done something and the person can't speak anymore.

He then looked at me and said. "So, what will you choose little one."

I looked at him and just stand in place. I lowered my head and did not say anything as I don't know how I feel right now.

Lucas: "Close your eyes little one." He suddenly spoke and I subconsciously close my eyes. I suddenly felt a hot breeze but I did not open my eyes.

I suddenly felt someone patting my head. I opened my eyes but I did not see the wounded person. I only saw a charred floor.

I looked up beside me and saw him gently smiling at me.

Lucas: "Choose only those who are worth saving, little one." He said in a comforting tone as he looked outside in a distance.

I did not say anything but I engraved those words in my heart.
