6 Kind, but dumb.

When Irina and Xenovia came to the dinning table in the kitchen for lunch, I was slightly baffled to see them wearing my clothes.

"What is it?" Xenovia noticed my quiet expression.

"Nothing, it's just that.." I smiled nervously and continued serving the food on the table, "Didn't you guys bring your own clothes?"

"We didn't." Xenovia was straight forward as ever, "The Church had provided us money for our expenses, but Irina here donated all of it to an charity we found on the way here."

"All of it?" I gave her dumbfounded look.

"I couldn't help it.." Irina shamefully withered under my gaze.

"Whatever, you should be more careful, Irina." I reprimanded her by taking my seat on the table, "Donating is good, but don't make it a habit. People will start relying on you too much instead of working themselves."

"That's exactly what I told her." Xenovia nodded in agreement with me and scowled at Irina.

"You're bullying me now!" Irina whined as she felt helplessly cornered by us, "I will limit my expenses while donating someone, okay? And its not like we come across charity that often."

"Actually, we do." Xenovia said otherwise and gave Irina a smug stare.

"Enough of that, let's eat our food." I stated and extended the dishes towards their plate, "Serve yourselves."

They nodded in agreement and got a good amount of meal on their plate, "Even so, don't you think the food is too much for the three of us?" Irina asked in a confused tone as she looked at the quantity I had made.

"Oh, that's for me." I stated with an innocent smile, "I have high appetite these days."

Xenovia gave me a suspicious look, but did not call out on me.

They both prayed for the food offered to them and we finally began our meal.

"Weren't you bothered when we took God's name earlier and even now?" Xenovia asked by taking a good bite out of the meal, "And this food is delicious, by the way."

"Thank you." I smiled at the compliment, "And for your question, that's probably because I am a part human. I am not much aware of the Devils and Supernatural society anyways. I am still in the process of figuring out the mysteries about myself."

"That means your soul is not Corrupted like the normal Devils!" Irina remarked joyously with a bright smile, "The Lord accepts you!"

"And those are Holy Swords, you know?" Xenovia gestured to the sheathed swords laying on the couch of the living room, "Don't you feel any sense of dread in their presence? Are you really the son of a Maou?"

"Trust me, I wish I were not." I snorted in response, "Its been more trouble to me than I wished for."

"Is that so." Xenovia nodded, and continued to eat her meal in silence when Irina brought up the topic of our past and we engaged into a fond conversation.

"I still can't believe what happened to Marine-san. She was so bright and cheerful. I even thought she was an Angel!" Irina exclaimed emotionally, "For her to die like that."

"That's why, I am never going to forgive that bastard who did this to her." I stated by angrily clenching my fists, "Maou or whatnot, I am going to kill him."

Xenovia gave me a curious stare, "Are you strong enough though?"

"I will be." I nodded confidently.

"Then you better be serious about getting stronger, because Maou Sirzechs is the strongest Devil in history of all Devils." Xenovia remarked and got up from the chair with her empty plate, "I'll wash the dishes."

"Don't worry, I have magic for that." I shook my hand towards her with a smile, "You don't need to worry about the chores while you stay here."

"Magic sure is convenient." Xenovia stated in astonishment and went to place her dishes in the sink.

"You guys can take my mom's room." I informed Irina who was still on the table with me.

"Are you sure?"

"The room has been empty ever since she's gone, but it's clean." I assured, even though her concern was something else, "It's better than crashing on the couch."

"Alright." Irina pursed her lips into a small smile, "I am sorry that I couldn't be with you, Alex. I swear I would've come sooner if I knew what had happened, there was just no way for me to stay in touch with you!"

"It's okay, Irina." I waved off with a pleasant laugh, "You don't need to concern yourself with me right now, you have a mission."

"We are going to formally visit the ruler of the Terriroty tomorrow." Xenovia stated as she came back, "We have already met her today, but it wasn't what we had planned."

"How many swords have been stolen?" I asked curiously, "And why are these swords so special?"

"These swords are not just any Holy Sword, Alex." Irina replied, "They carry fragments of the Excalibur within them."

"Each fragment possess extraordinary power." Xenovia added, "For example, mine is Excalibur Destruction. While weaker compared to the actual power of destruction, it can easily level a small area at its full potential."

"Mine is Excalibur Mimic!" Irina stated excitedly, "Just wait here, okay?" She got up and went running to the living room.

Although, when she came back, Irina was not alone.

"Two.. Irinas?" I was baffled by the abilitiy of her sword.

"Yes." Both of them replied at the same time, "Though we are two, we still possess a single consciousness. Isn't that amazing? I can easily outnumber my opponent and have no blind spots!"

'So basically, it's similar to Shadow Clone Jutsu, but without the ability to enhance your training method due to having only a single consciousness.' I saw Irina in a new light now, because Excalibur Mimic's true ability was never revealed.

"The sword can also take any form, but I prefer the Katana." Irinas said simultaneously said while they held the same replica of the sword.

Both of them turned into a blur and formed into a single Irina.

"The only downside of this ability is that Irina experiences the damage of all her mimics at the same time." Xenovia said.

"Psychologically, that must hurt." I stated in pity. Though it made sense, because they all shared the same consciousness.

We talked a while and later I washed the dishes in the sink with my magic, before I headed back to my room to meditate alone.

Irina and Xenovia were resting and spending time while watching some TV shows, so I wasn't concerned about them.

'But Excaliburs.' I could feel the Avalon within my soul reacting to the Fragments in the house, 'I don't want to steal their swords, so I'll have to wait. Though, that doesn't mean I cannot lay claim on the other Fragments that are present in Kuoh.'

I meditated to activate the Domain Expansion of my full powers. I took the reference from the Nasuverse and created the Domain as a separate Reality Marble through Space manipulation.

A Limitless reality where I would be in total control of each action made in my Domain.

I had also come up with some absurd versions of Reality Marble with my power of Destruction and Incernate Anthem's Holy Flames. But, I only intended to use them when facing the enemies that I want to kill in a moment's notice.

'Can I perform Structural Grasp with my Magic to recreate my own version of Unlimited Blade works?' The ridiculous idea popped up in my mind, while playing with my powers in my head.

"Domain Expansion." I conjured a Limitless Marble Reality that depicted the plain grasslands on a sunny day.

I summoned Excalibur Ruler from the Avalon and used my magic to analyse its structure, 'The Structural Grasp is easy, the problem is Tracing an exact copy of the weapon.' I realised that I should be relying on Mana to create a temporary projection, not a permanent object.

'If it's temporary, it's perfect.' I chuckled excitedly and raised my both hands to the sky, "Unlimited Blade Works." My Mana infinitly expanded throughout the Domain and Dark clouds covered the bright sky.

An endless projection of Excalibur Rulers formed into the sky and rained down to the Earth, "This is literally hell for a Devil." I laughed evilly as the presence of Holy power continued to get stronger and denser around me.

'By adding more power to this domain, I could possibly rival Sirzechs in the destructiveness to deteat him.' I had one goal for now, surpass my biological father and bring shame to him.
