Skeleton

They had arrived in Agreas, a floating city.

Yuuki was wearing his mask while walking in the back row together with Akeno, Koneko, and Kuroka.

They left the terminal and were greeted by a lot of reporters.

Click! Click! Click!

"Gremory-san, how do you feel about this battle?"

"Can you win this match?"

The group of reporter was asking about their group until one of them noticed a man with a familiar mask.

"Isn't that Archer?"

"WHAT!"

"That is Archer!"

The reporters had always wanted to interview him but it was very hard to search for his identity and until now, there was no one who knew his identity.

"Is he a member of Gremory Peerage?"

"No way!"

One of them said.

"EVERYONE, PLEASE STOP!"

Suddenly a beautiful young girl appeared in front of them, "Please, let us go to the hotel since we need to prepare for the match."

"Who is she?' Yuuki asked.

"She is Ravel Phenex, she is part of our peerage now," Akeno said.

"Really?" Yuuki was a bit surprised.

"Yes, she is one of my bishops and manager of our peerage, she decided to come here earlier than anyone to book the hotel and prepare everything," Rias answered.

"Thank you, Ravel," Issei said with a smile.

"Yes, don't worry," Ravel answered with a smile.

Yuuki rubbed his chin and thought it was the power of the protagonist to attract a girl even though the protagonist was perverted. He didn't say anything and followed them to enter a black limousine in front of them to get away from his group of a reporter.

Kuroka and Koneko showed an annoyed expression when both of them looked at Ravel.

Ravel was also the same and tried to ignore both of them.

"I smell a bird here, nyaa," Kuroka said.

"Yes, this bird is very stinking," Koneko said.

"You cat also use your saliva to clean your body!" Ravel shouted.

"Alright, don't fight with each other," Yuuki said and brought both Koneko and Kuroka to the side while hugging them.

"HMPH!"

They looked away at the same time.

The other people who saw their interaction sighed at the same time.

"I guess it isn't easy for a bird and cat to be together," Azazel said while rubbing his chin.

"Ravel, don't fight alright," Rias said.

"But they're the ones who are starting," Ravel said.

"Hmph!" Kuroka and Koneko said at the same time.

"Why do you hate her?" Yuuki asked.

"It's the physiology of our races," Koneko said.

"Cats usually don't like birds, nyaa," Kuroka said.

"Then let's meet a fish later, you can see them after this match," Yuuki said.

"Fish?" Koneko looked at him with a confused expression.

"Oh, that fish, alright, nyaa, I can't wait," Kuroka said.

"What kind of fish?" Koneko asked.

"It's a secret, it'll be a surprise when you win the match," Yuuki smiled.

Koneko became quite excited and clenched both fists, "Alright, I will win it."

---

They were talking to each other until they had arrived at the hotel.

"This is the hotel, everyone," Ravel said with a smile.

This would be his first time seeing a lot of different races in the same place.

Yuuki could see a devil, fallen angel, youkai, and even a god in this place. He nodded and felt quite great with the peace of everyone in the supernatural world.

"Is this okay? What about the Khaos Brigade?" Kiba suddenly asked and made everyone feel a bit worried.

"Don't worry, Vali will protect the match since he wanted to see the match of the strongest youth, right?" Azazel looked at him.

Yuuki rubbed his nose, "You ask me that? I don't know him."

"Well, I guess I understand why you want to maintain a peaceful life," Azazel said.

Kuroka also didn't say anything since her crime had been pardoned. She needed to show to the public that she didn't have any connection with the Khaos Brigade.

"Alright, let's enter and talk about our strategy in this battle," Rias suddenly said.

"Can you tell us about our room? I won't bother with your strategy meeting," Yuuki said.

"Yeah, I want to look around too, nyaa," Kuroka said.

Akeno sighed and felt a bit jealous since she couldn't join.

"You're quite busy, right? We can look around after your battle together," Yuuki didn't ask her to come to his room since he was sure that she needed a preparation.

"Alright, I will join you later," Akeno said.

Ravel looked at him and gave him a key, "This is your room and that cat room."

"Only one?" Yuuki looked at the key.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I thought you were kind of similar to my brother," Ravel said with a blush.

"Your brother? What do you mean?" Yuuki asked with a confused expression.

"Well, he is usually sleeping together with his peerage members and doing that in the room, maybe you're similar?" Ravel said with a low voice, clearly shy.

Yuuki felt quite strange when this little girl was looking at him similarly to a sexual deviant. He thought for a bit, 'Maybe because of both Kuroka and Koneko?' He felt that their fight was a bit childish since he remembered her older brother also had a cat in his peerage.

Kuroka gave her a thumbs up since this girl was very nice, even though she was a bird.

"DAMMIT, I'M ENVY THAT GUY!!!" Issei suddenly shouted.

"You can move around but you need to follow me for a while, the organizer needs to talk to you about your commentator job," Azazel said.

"Alright, don't worry," Yuuki said.

Rias nodded, "Good, let's go, we need to talk about our match tomorrow."

"YES BUCHOU!!!"

They were walking together until they saw a group that came toward them while emitting a weird atmosphere and cold aura that made prickling on their skin.

This group had their hoods worn down so much that they couldn't see their faces, and they were wearing a long robe where they couldn't even see their feet.

'Skeleton?' Yuuki saw the leader of this group.

[Oh well, oh well, if this isn't the crimson-haired Gremory or the Governor of the fallen-angels?]

The skeleton talked to them while looking at everyone until they stopped at him, "You are?"

"Archer," Yuuki answered simply.
