The next day after school was over Rumi and Momo got to Ryuuto's house and met each other for the first time.

"So, you'll be one of me teammates huh? Nice to meet you, the name's Rumi Usagiyama, don't hold me back!"

"Nice to meet you too Rumi-san, I'm Momo Yaoyorozu. I'll do my best!"

Once they introduced each other, Ryuuto, Rias, Ning Er and Eri entered the living room were the two girls were waiting.

"Wow! Onee-chan your rabbit ears are so cute! Can I touch them?"

"No, and who is this brat anyway?"

Hearing Rumi, Eri got sad that the rabbit Onee-chan wouldn't let her touch those fluffy ears but remembering that she would get to know a lot of new friends today her sadness went away in a flash.

Once Ryuuto had brought all of their luggage inside the Xiphos, since the ship would be coming with him, he opened the chat screen with the traveling ticket.

"If everyone is ready then grab onto me or Rias and we'll go."

Saying that Ryuuto carried Eri on his shoulders while also holdings hands with Rias and Ning Er, with Momo and Rumi holding Rias' right shoulder. Seeing everyone ready to go Ryuuto pressed the button to start the dimensional travel and as always everything turned gray with time slowing down until it stopped.

Looking at his companions he saw how Eri had little stars in her eyes and was looking around amazed by the scenery of the dimensional travel, Momo had a curious expression and was probably wondering how this was happening while Rumi didn't really care much but was instead anticipating her future battles.

Once the travel was over all of them found themselves inside Rias' room in the Kuoh high school dormitory, since they chose that as their destination.

The reason they did that is because the room was enlarged with magic and was big enough to allow everyone to live there, unfortunately after applying illusion magic on Rumi to hide her bunny ears and tail and Eri to hide her horn, Rias had to go since she still has school.

Once everyone left were done unpacking, Ryuuto and Eri decided to take a walk around town with Momo and Rumi doing the same, just before Rumi could leave Ryuuto reminded her of something.

"Rumi, remember you're not allowed to fight anyone unless they start first and that you need to come back this afternoon so Rias can introduce you to the others."

"Tch."

Without saying anything more Rumi left feeling annoyed she couldn't just pick fights with whoever she found.

"Are you ready to go, Eri-chan?"

"Yes! Onii-chan let's go!"

Saying that Eri grabbed Ryuuto's hand and started running around dragging him along. After they had visited some shops and Ryuuto bought an hairpin designed as a daisy for Eri, she saw a young girl looking around nervously dressed as a nun.

'Mmh... Isn't that?'

"Onii-chan, do you think she needs help? And what are those strange clothes?"

"Eri-chan those are nun's clothes and yes, I think she does, do you want to go help her?"

Nodding energetically Eri run towards the young nun while Ryuuto just walked behind her.

"Onee-chan, do you need help? Are you lost?"

Hearing a young child voice coming from her back the nun turned around and looking down she saw Eri looking at her with a big cheerful smile on her little face.

"Oh, thank God someone understand me. My name is Asia Argento, can I know yours? And yes, I'm kind of lost."

As soon as Eri heard God's name a slight headache attacked her mind but since she was used to the pain because of the time she had spent with Chisaki, Eri didn't let it affect her.

"My name is Eri and this is my Onii-chan! Nice to meet you Asia Onee-chan!"

"Nice to meet you Asia-san, I'm Ryuuto Azusagawa. Where do you need to go? We can bring you there if you want."

"Nice to meet you too Ryuuto-san, I need to go to this town's church, do you know where it is?"

"I'm sorry to say this Asia-san but the church has been recently demolished."

"Wh-What did you say?"

Seeing Asia expression Ryuuto just patted her head trying to calm her down and it slowly worked.

"Why don't you come with us? Maybe taking a walk around town will help you relax."

Nodding her head Asia started walking with Ryuuto and Eri while little Eri kept asking her questions about what being a nun means.

While strolling around they came across a park and Asia saw a little boy falling and hurting his knee so, being the kind soul she is, she went towards him and healed him using her Sacred Gear.

"Look Onii-chan! Asia Onee-chan also knows how to use magic!"

After Asia finished healing the little boy his mother brought him away from Asia, feeling scared of what she just witnessed, while Ryuuto and Eri went towards her.

"Eri-chan, can you go play for a moment, I'll come play with you soon, Onii-chan needs to talk with Asia-san for a moment, ok?"

"Ok!"

Eri, being the little bundle of joy she is, went towards the swing to wait for Ryuuto to come play with her.

"Asia-san, if you don't mind me asking, are you perhaps with the group of fallen angels that inhabited the church?"

Even though Ryuuto knew this already, he couldn't just say that since Asia and him had just met.

"Yes, are you perhaps a part of it too?"

"This could be hard to accept Asia-san but they were never the good guys you think they are, they actually planned to steal your Sacred Gear, killing you in the process."

"Th-That's impossible Ryuuto-san! Raynare-sama would never do that!"

"I know it's difficult to accept but I have proofs that this is the truth, do you know about memory magic?"

"Yes."

"Then if you let me, I'll show you some memories I extracted from the leader of that group."

Seeing Asia nod, Ryuuto put his index finger on her forehead and showed her the memories he had taken before Raynare died, how she was an horrible person in reality, what she was actually doing here and what she wanted to do with Asia.

Once Asia was finished looking at those memories her eyes filled with years and she started sobbing, seeing that Ryuuto patted her back to calm her down while she let years of sadness for being excommunicated by the church and everything else that happened to her after that.

"Why? Why can't I just have a single friend? That's everything I ever wanted..."

Hearing her Ryuuto flicked her forehead.

"Ouch... Why did you do that Ryuuto-san?!"

"Who said you don't have friends? Both me and Eri are your friends, aren't we?"

Listening to Ryuuto, Asia looked like she had the biggest enlightenment in all of history and a sparkling smile formed on her face.

"Eheh, you're right Ryuuto-san! Thank you!"

"Don't worry, more importantly now, do you have anywhere to go?"

"Now that you say it... I was planning on living in the church but if it's been demolished..."

"Then how about coming to live with me and Eri at the Kuoh's highschool dormitory, I have to advice you however, some devils also live there."

Hearing what Ryuuto told her Asia felt overjoyed but then a little doubt found its way into her mind.

"Are you and Eri-chan devils too?"

"I'm not but little Eri is, will this change something between you two?"

"Uh? No! I don't really care about that, Eri-chan is so sweet that it doesn't matter, it was just curiosity on my part. But will the other devils even accept me? I'm a nun after all."

"Don't worry about it, they're all good people, now let's go, Eri is waiting for us to play."

Saying that Ryuuto got up and went to play with little Eri while Asia did the same soon after.

After playing for some time and eating in a nearby restaurant, since it was lunch time, Ryuuto, Asia and Eri went back towards Kuoh's high school to let Asia meet the rest of the occupants, while going there Ryuuto chatted with Rias in their private chat.

<The Last Tenno (Admin): Rias, I may have found you another bishop but it's better to take this one slowly since she just got to know about being betrayed.>

<Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess: Thank you Darling! What can she do?>

<The Last Tenno (Admin): From what I've seen she has an healing Sacred Gear so she certainly has a talent for healing.>

<Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess: An healer is something I really needed, I don't know what I would do without you Darling!>

Soon after they reached the dormitory and Ryuuto opened the door and announced their presence.

"We're back."

"Welcome back Ryuuto, Eri, the other are waiting for you in the living room. Who is this girl?"

Ning Er, who had chosen to just relax for the day and remain in the dormitory, greeted them and seeing Asia asked who she was.

"My name is Asia Argento, you must be one of Ryuuto-san's companions, nice to meet you."

Bowing down Asia introduced herself with Ning Er doing the same, after that Asia did the same with everyone in the living room.

Once Akeno, Koneko, Kiba, Gasper, Momo and Rumi had introduced themselves to Asia, Rias, that until that moment was in the bathroom taking a shower after introducing the new peerage members to the old ones, came to the living room and as soon as she saw Asia she hugged her tightly.

"You must be Asia-chan, right? You're so cute!"

Meanwhile poor Asia, that wasn't used to this kind of contact, had her brain overheat.

"Awawawawawawa..."

"Rias, if you don't let her go she's going to faint, her head is already smoking."

Seeing that Ryuuto was actually right Rias let go Asia from her hug and apologized.

"Eheh, I'm sorry Asia-chan, you're just so cute I couldn't resist hugging you. By the way I'm Rias Gremory, Ryuuto's wife, nice to meet you!"

"Do-Don't worry Rias-san! Nice to meet you too, my name is Asia Argento, please take care of me!"

After introduction were finally out of the way Ryuuto sat on one of the couches with little Eri on his lap while Rias sat down and once again hugged Asia, who was getting used to the close contact, with everyone seated they started having small chats between themselves with even Gasper participating sometime by poking his head outside the box he was is.

Seeing Gasper like that little Eri jumped off Ryuuto's lap and went towards him before climbing on the couch and getting inside the box with him.

"Hi, my name is Eri, what's yours? And why are you in this box?"

"M-My name i-is Gasper, and I'm here because I'm sc-scared of people..."

Even though Gasper was a little fearful of Eri, since nobody had ever entered his box, thanks to Rias helping him he was actually able to answer her without accidentally triggering his Sacred Gear.

"I also was scared like you but then I met Ryuuto Onii-chan and Rias Onee-chan! They saved me from the bad guys and now I live together with them!"

After talking some more with little Eri, Gasper realized how much she had been abused and seeing that a little girl like her could overcome her fear helped Gasper get even more motivated to get over his fear of people.
