- Shidou Household -

After they reach Touji's house, They can see that Touji is not yet at his home and the others are still there. They then wait till Touji comes to his home, while they are still waiting for Touji, Tetsuya then introduces Clarissa to the others which they easily become friends. Cleria also had a reunion with Anna and had a long conversation with each other. After waiting for half an hour, Touji then comes home. Yukio then asks Anna, Touji, Cleria, and Masaomi to have a meeting on the second floor regarding this whole accident. Tetsuya also has been told to stay with the others on the first floor, which he agreed as he thinks that is probably related to the incident before and then play with the others on the first floor.

Yukio and the others then held a meeting while putting a barrier on the second floor as usual. They then start to discuss many things that are related to the incident earlier.

But before they start their discussion, both Cleria and Masaomi say their thanks toward Touji due to Touji helping their fake death, though Masaomi also apologize that he also betrays the church and his former comrade to be with the woman he loves which Touji can only smile at Masaomi as he tells Masaomi it is alright.

They then continue to discuss something related to the incident and that is Rizevim that Yukio fights with.

"What?! you fought Rizevim?! Why didn't you tell him." Anna, who heard this from Yukio, is shocked.

"If I tell you first, I'm afraid Rizevim will run away first *sigh*, well anyway at least I got his left arm." Said Yukio as he then let out a left arm from mid-air.

"If I were there I can slash him into a devil poop rather than only slash his left arm." Said Anna while pouting as she isn't satisfied with the outcome that Yukio brought.

"Well, a lot of things happened when he suddenly escaped from my sight... hahaha." Said Yukio while laughing wryly since he cannot tell Anna that he wanted to torture Rizevim slowly but accidentally let him escape.

"Your expression right now... So suspicious..." Said Anna while getting closer as she then gives a long stare at Yukio's eye to eye.

Yukio who is being stared could only look at Anna from eye to eye as he shows a wry smile on his face. Slowly Anna's face starts to get beet red as she then retracts her face from Yukio.

"Fine dear, I will let you off this once." Said Anna with a blush on her face as she is giving a shy expression while looking at Yukio.

Cleria who looked at them could only smile at them. On the other hand Masaomi and Touji only give a deadpan expression on their faces as they look at both Yukio and Anna.

"Umh... Is the one you are talking about really is Rizevim Livan Lucifer?" Asked Touji while looking at both Yukio and Anna.

"Well yeah, unfortunately, that Rizevim is also connected to this incident." Said Yukio.

Touji who heard this could only have a headache since it's hard to contain all the unbelievable information that he receives since he knew Rizevim Livan Lucifer is one of the strongest devils that is still alive today and hearing Yukio fight and almost kill Rizevim is a somewhat unbelievable thing that he can hear right now. But after remembering that Yukio marrying someone like Anna that is already reigning the title of One of The Strongest, he started to think that there is more to Yukio. But as his friend, he won't pry more into Yukio's secret since he thinks it's for the best and he can only hope that one day that Yukio will tell his secret to him.

"Regarding this incident, this is all my fault..." Said Cleria with a sad expression as she then bowed her head down as she then looks below.

"No, it's not your fault at all!!" Shouts Masaomi while looking at Cleria.

"No Masaomi... We all wouldn't be in this mess if I were not involved myself with the 'King Piece'." Said Cleria as she grips her hand which makes her shaken up a little bit.

"The 'King Piece'?! I thought there are only 15 chess pieces that exist in evil pieces. I didn't expect the rumor that there might be a 'King Piece' is true." Said Yukio with a surprised expression.

"The 'King Piece' is indeed real, and due to me knowing too much about it, the Great King Faction decided to eliminate me by using my relationship with Masaomi which they then probably leak to the church side, so that they can eliminate me." Said Cleria who then continued to explain about the King piece.

Cleria then tells that the 'King Piece' is a rare piece that was created in the early days of Rating Games which was later considered dangerous due to how powerful it can make a High-class devil powerful enough to compete with Ultimate-Class devils or even Satan-Class devils. Due to this, the production of the 'King Piece' has stopped and despite being only 12 pieces, 9 Pieces of them were being seized by the Great King Faction after they took control of the Rating Games, which the higher-ups or the old devils used this for their own agenda by making a fixed match in Rating Games in order to make a lot of money.

"And because of my curiosity and also carelessness, all of my peerage members were killed by the Great King Faction and I also put both Masaomi and Clarissa in danger." Said Cleria as her face slowly covered with tears.

"Cleria it's not your fault! It's their fault!!" Shout Masaomi while trying to deny Cleria words while trying to accuse the Great King Faction.

Cleria who heard this could only stay quiet as she soon calms down from her crying.

"*Sniff* Despite this, I think Zekram-san doesn't know anything about the corruption behind the rating games, and only hunts us down due to protecting the status quo of Heaven and the Underworld... But I bet if he heard about the corruption that happened behind his back, he would be furious." Said Cleria while sighing.

"Yeah, I can say Zekram is not someone who can tolerate something like corruption, though both of your cases are different kinds of situations though." Said Yukio who then looked at both Masaomi and Cleria.

"Yeah, I know that... But I don't care because I love Masaomi from the bottom of my heart, so no one will ever separate us." Said Cleria with a serious expression.

"Cleria..." Said Masaomi who felt touched by Cleria's determination.

Yukio and Anna who see this could only smile at Cleria's determination.

"You don't have to say it, since I know how serious you are at handling everything." Said Yukio who could only smile.

"Yeah since you and Anna already knew me long enough." Cleria who heard this could only smile wryly at Yukio's remark.

"Anyway this somehow irritated me, you can let me handle the King Piece problem." Said Yukio while looking at both Cleria and Masaomi.

"Yukio if you try to publicize the secret of the King Piece... There will be chaos in the entire underworld." Said Cleria who somehow knew what Yukio is going to do.

"Well, the chaos will only go toward the old devils and it is also fun to see their face in despair." Said Yukio with a sadistic smile on his face.

"Wow... It seems your personality is back to normal." Said Cleria with an astonished expression while looking at Yukio as she then remembers the old Yukio personality.

Both Masaomi and Touji who see Yukio smile could only shiver as they don't really know about his sadistic personality and as for Anna, she could only smile wryly as she then sighs.

"If it isn't for everyone here, I and Masaomi will be dead, so once again I say thank you to you all, of course including Tetsuya-kun who isn't in this room." Said Cleria as she then bows toward everyone in the room. Masaomi who sees this could only follow Cleria as he then bows toward everyone in the room.

"Well, that is what friends are for, so don't worry about it." Said Anna with a happy smile with a thumbs up.

"Save that thanks when I already make all of the old devil's face in despair." Said Yukio who also smiled while already making plans inside his mind.

"Anyway Yukio, I'm sorry to trouble you again, but can you inform my family about me-" Said Cleria.

"That you are safe right, don't worry leave it to me." Said Yukio who nodded at Cleria.

"Thank you." Said Cleria with a grateful smile on her face.

"Anyways, both of you need to figure out how and where to live from now on, do you guys have any plans?" Asked Yukio who is wondering about Cleria and Masaomi's plan from now on.

"About that, We still don't have any plan yet." Said Masaomi who answered Yukio's question after both Masaomi and Cleria discussed it with each other.

"Then why not become our neighbor in Kyoto? Since there is a lot of unowned land near our residence, and don't worry about your identity being discovered since we can reforge your identity later." Said Anna with a smile on her face.

"What?!" Both Masaomi and Cleria who heard this find this a bit surprising.

"No, you don't have to do that Anna, we don't want to trouble both of you and Yukio anymore after all of what you did for us." Said Cleria with a panicked expression.

"Nah don't worry about it, something like this is nothing for my family." Said Anna with a proud smile while looking at both Cleria and Masaomi.

Cleria and Masaomi then look at each other, after a few seconds both of them agree with Anna suggestion on becoming their neighbor as they knew that the Muramasa family is one of the richest families in the world even among the supernatural society, and even if they reject Anna's suggestion, they know that Anna will still not giving up on her suggestion until they accept it.

"Great, now we are neighbors." Said Anna with a happy smile.

Everyone in the room then continues their discussion regarding the accident.
