Before we go

Yuuki had said goodbye to his girlfriends and went out together with Rossweisse to the Hanging Garden of Babylon to talk with Vali and his group. He had learned that Vali, Bikou, and Arthur had also decided to go to Romania first before him. He knew that something had happened in Romania, but he knew that Rias and Akeno weren't in danger so that he didn't need to worry.

Yuuki would go to Hyoudou's residence to talk about the matter of Romania with everyone. He also brought Ophis, Kuroka, Jeanne, and Le Fay before he went to visit Issei's house.

Rossweissei was glad that Yuuki had decided to bring her this time. She had always been worried, but this time she could be with him. She had told everyone that she would protect him from any vixens that were going to get close to him.

"You're ready?" Yuuki asked.

Kuroka, Le Fay, and Jeanne nodded at the same time.

Kuroka was a bit sleepy since she had woken up in the early morning and didn't have her usual cheerfulness. She thought to have him pick her up on his arms, but his arms had been used by someone. She couldn't fight this person and could only give up.

Yuuki brought Ophis in his arms while also giving him a lollipop to make her quiet.

Ophis didn't say much and only munched on her lollipop silently since she didn't have an opinion about it.

"Then, let's go," Yuuki said. He suddenly thought of something and said, "Rossweisse."

"Yes?" Rossweisse looked at Yuuki curiously.

"You need to wear a mask," Yuuki said.

"Eh?"

---

Yuuki, Ophis, Le Fay, Kuroka, Jeanne, and Rossweisse who were wearing masks had come to Issei's house.

Issei's house was so enormous that some of the rooms had never been used by the owner of this house.

They teleported to the special room to greet the guest who came to this house.

"Good morning everyone," Asia said with a smile looking at them.

"Good morning."

"Is it only us?" Le Fay asked.

"Heaven and the fallen angel side have also sent out their people here," Asia said.

"Who is their representable, nyaa?" Kuroka asked.

"It's me," Griselda said while standing beside the young man who seemed quite lazy.

The young man yawned and smiled looking at Yuuki who was wearing a mask.

Yuuki knew who this young man was since he had met him in the past.

This young man was Dulio Gesualdo who was the owner of Zenith Tempest.

"Is Tobio here too?" Yuuki asked. He was a bit curious whether he could see the cousin of Akeno here since he knew that guy was quite a single wolf.

"Yes, he is also here, but he is guarding the outside and receiving a direct message from Azazel-sensei," Sona said. She looked at the woman with silver hair beside Yuuki who was also wearing a mask. She would be dumb if she didn't know who the identity of this woman was. She had always wanted to talk to her and thought that it was a good chance to do it.

"We're not going to go now?" Haru asked.

Sona shook her head and said, "It seems that Sensei has something that he wants to talk about before we go to Romania."

"Was it something important that he needed to call both the representative of heaven and fallen angel?" Yuuki asked.

Griselda nodded and said, "It seems to be something quite serious."

Yuuki didn't think that there was someone who could hurt Akeno in Romania. He knew that Vampire didn't have that much of an advantage toward the devil and even the royal family wasn't that strong either. He believed that the power of a vampire was only on their blood magic and bat transformation. He also understood why they didn't go in the morning since the vampire couldn't see the sun and they could only appear at night.

Unless they're a Dhampir, the vampire is very vulnerable to the sunlight.

"How about we eat something first? The enemy of humanity is hunger," Dulio said.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Yuuki asked.

"I also haven't eaten yet, nyaa," Kuroka said.

"Everyone, the food is ready. How about we eat first?" Asia said with a cheerful expression.

Everyone who saw Asia's expression was instantly sooted by her.

Ophis was standing beside Yuuki and played with Asia's baby dragon, Rassei.

Yuuki knew that Asia was very powerful. Besides her healing power, she was also known as a dragon tamer. Her feats were quite famous such as taming an untameable little dragon, Rasse, and even making a pact with one of the Five Dragon Kings, Fafnir.

"Geh? All of you eating breakfast at my home?" Issei asked with a surprised expression. Unfortabley, his words were ignored since everyone started to eat hurriedly when they saw delicious food on the table.

"It's delicious! I hope that I can share these foods with everyone in the church," Dulio said with a happy smile. He was known as a glutton and he often traveled around the world in search of a lot of delicious foods.

Griselda sighed and said, "If only that you're not this glutton..." She looked at Yuuki who was sitting in the living room while drinking tea together with a silver-haired woman with a mask along with Ophis who was eating a lollipop while playing with a baby dragon. If she didn't know their identity she might think that they were a family. She suddenly thought about her age and wondered whether she should start to stop working to marry someone.

Griselda looked at Xenovia who was walking toward Yuuki and seemed to ask him some questions. She squinted her eyes and wondered what kind of relationship they had. 'What's the face under that mask?' She wanted to take out that mask to see what his real appearance was.
