Black`s Residence.
Alex took a good look of the surroundings of his newest apartment. Being forced to live in some of the worst accommodations, dirt and mud and even shit, he found his new place of living to be… simply gorgeous and grand. It was a three level; one was underground for trainings, researches and archives, small mansion with 10 rooms, 3 bathrooms and 2 living rooms and a library. It was decorated with good fashion sense, but not too rich-like or royal like. In fact, it looked a lot like a mansion that could be afforded by a medium-incom businessmen could buy if he had wished. Alex, of course wasn`t, the one, but with his line of job as a linguist, Devil and basically whatever those damned contractors wanted him to be, he couldn`t be picky. Still, for a Low-level Devil, this was something near to impossible. Especially, considering that he now had, essentially, a servant in form of a voluptuous raven-haired Fallen Angel. However, Alex couldn`t bring himself to call Raynare a servant and, furthermore, a slave as some were referring to him in the past. His previous foster families that had exploited the hell out him, plus the fact that after a few long talks and a whole two weeks spent with her in Issei`s residence, were the reasons why he treated Raynare more like she was roommate, at first, and a friend.
Before the mansion could be prepped up, Raynare was forced to stay in Issei`s house, resulting in A LOT of confrontations between the three, one messy squabble and a very painful punch in the gut after Alex defended Raynare from Issei, who was genuinely pissed off that she basically used him and killed him. Well, in this one Alex could understand him, but he had serious principals about protecting women and those that were close to him, who Raynare was now, so Alex stood his ground for her, earning a death threat from Issei, but also real respect from Fallen Angel. After that, Alex went ahead and helped her to get used to the temporary house and new life, going so far as to help her buy clothes, using his connection to Sona to get her in his Academy and class, as Yuuma Amano. All that, coupled with Alex actively talking with Raynare about things, respecting her as a girl and admitting that he hated seeing people used as servants and slaves, quickly insured Raynare`s trust and loyalty to Alex.
For their talks, Alex learned of Raynare`s past and what were her overall reasons to try to kill Issei and steel Asia Argento`s power. She had no parents, who were killed by Devil`s in a skirmish, and she was forced to grow up in the harshest environments, being despised, abused and simply used as a tool then a person. Among Fallen Angels, power determines the status and weak were exploited by strong. Such was the case with Raynare as she had to get stronger in order to survive and submit to the others. And power was earned through service. So, she began to obey orders of more powerful Fallen Angels and do Azazel as well, while also trying to grow up as strong as possible. When she found out that Issei was actually feared in higher ranks as a holder of powerful Sacred Gear, she decided to kill him as precautions. And as for Asia, Twilight Healing was a very useful and powerful artifact, one that could virtually heal any wound. Raynare herself actually did want to get her hands on that Gear herself, but, after she had a chance to get to know Asia and see how innocent and insecure she was, Raynare flinched, refusing to kill her and ordering her subordinates not to anything to her, and decided to try out her luck with another reported Sacred Gear holder. That was Alex and everyone now knows how it all went down. Now, Raynare was officially Alex`s servant and his responsibility. In terms of personality, she may`ve been sarcastic and picky to those whom she didn`t respect, but with Alex she was acting less than a spoiled girl and as an ordinary person with her own quirks, desires and other things that made her a living person. Among those quirks was her seductive and flirtatious nature, trait of a Fallen Angel, which she showed sometimes to Alex, probably trying to get closer to her.
It has been two weeks since that little debacle with Fallen Angels was solved and things have been quiet for now, everything going its own way. Alex spent this time furthering his trainings, getting stronger and more capable with his powers as a Devil and a holder of a Forsaken Regalia. Rias still didn't show any interest in Alex`s trainings and growth, but decided to train up Issei a little bit, so that he could match Alex in terms of powers, thus unlocking the Boosted Gear`s gauntlet form. Not that Alex complained, he was perfectly well with training on his own, having Galeran and Sona as mentors in physical and magical aspects of his trainings. Raynare also clicked in the trainings, wishing to get powerful as well, even though Alex did say that if the situation would call it for, he would do his best to protect her, which did make her flush red. And once she did get into the trainings, things started to progress quite faster for both progresses in trainings and growth in power. In academy, things were going as usual, with Alex occasionally teaching the Perverted Trio a lesson or two about peeking on girls, gaining a strong female fan base. Alex also now became known as a "Black Prince" among the girls in academy for his royal looks and raven black hair.
In ORC, Alex still continued to build up relations with others, becoming much closer to Akeno and Koneko, with whom he was now on fully friendly terms and both now started to show him clear signs of affection. Asia, newest member of ORC and Rias` newest Bishop, was a sweet, innocent and charming girl, who clearly was developing a clear crush and strong love for Issei, as he went out his way to make her feel comfortable. Alex also helped her and got friendly with her as well, as she was reminding him of Le Fey. With Kiba Alex also became much closer, as he started training with him in sword art, revealing to the guy his White Slicer and Alex wanted to master up this technique before go and develop something new. As with Rias and Issei, things didn`t progress any further, but seemed to only worsen. With Issei it was obvious why, with Rias it seemed like it was irritating her that one of her servants was quickly noticed for his exploits and rewarded, seeing it as if a sign of favoritism, along with the fact that Alex was still as independent and rebellious as ever. Plus, it irritated her that Alex`s job as Serafall`s linguist specialist was recognized and he now was commandeered by Leviathan to help her out in person. It was clear that a rift was growing as larger and larger between the two.
As with Sona and her Peerage, Alex`s relations were also very good, seeing as Alex was often with Sona and Tsubaki training in their magical abilities. With Sona, Alex grew closer and closer by day, and Alex had to admit to him, that he was beginning to develop feelings for her. Strong once, more personal and deeper than bonds of friendship could allow. He was always clear about his feelings towards others, but was considerate of feelings of others. Until he knew for certain what Sona felt, he wouldn`t do anything to disturb their relations.
In terms of the power, Galeran has estimated that Alex has come a very long way in short time. Right now, Alex`s abilities with Forsaken Regalia were far deeper and more profound, being capable now of absorbing the energy around him to power up, unlocking Second Liberation of his Forsaken Regalia, adding up an a armor plates on shoulders and pants to signify the growth of his abilities. As Galeran has informed, Third Liberation was the unlocking of Balance Breaker and final stage in unlocking the fullest potential of his Sacred Gear. In terms of physical strength, training with Koneko did wonders, improve Alex`s speed and strength, along with endurance. As fighter, Alex was clearly a all-rounder, capable of taking several roles in battlefield and adapting to the situations at hand. Magical trainings have also showed more noticeable results, seeing as Sona was putting Alex against Tsubaki in magical spars and duels. Alex`s control of his magical powers was one of the best, as Sona stated, as he was capable of switching on and off his White Slicer in a half of second, regulating the power of the blade and now even being able to use two blades at once. In two weeks, Alex has learned and mastered the barriers, teleportation, focusing the energy into attacks and other aspects of the body, the same way as with Regalia. After Sona had witnessed Alex`s Slicer, she was genuanly impressed as he was capable to create an energy based blade practically the same way as Fallen Angels did. She also suggested that Alex would work on his energy based projectiles as well, which Alex was considering on developing his new long-range technique. But that was still in designing.
So, overall, things were progressing their own way. And now, Alex and Raynare have finally moved in the new apartment, away from Issei, Asia and their parents. It was also a good thing that both knew how to take care of each other, in a normal way of living, so they wouldn`t starve to death or ruin the place with trash. So, everything was okay, as long as two kept their heads clear.
Alex finished up checking out the living room as he heard Raynare coming to him with a small of things box. Alex saw it and went to help out.
"Here, I`ll take it." Alex took the box and went with Raynare.
"Thanks, but I could take care of this myself." She said, moving with Alex. "Those are just some of my minor stuff, nothing major."
"Nah, I`m all finished up with my things and have nothing better to do, so why not help you?" Alex asked her, as he suddenly tripped a little over the doorway to Raynare`s room.
Fallen Angel quickly moved closer and put her palm between him and the floor, not letting him to fall. And by doing so, she also pressed her bosom against his hand, Alex feeling her softness through the fabric of the purple shirt. He didn`t know if she planned on doing it, or it was accidental, but he didn`t get his hand away. In all this commotion, he didn`t notice that from under his shirt, placed on neck slipped something that only few have seen. Raynare looked at it with curiosity and decided to ask, slowly stepping back a little.
"Hey, I haven't seen this on you before." Raynare noticed a necklace Alex wore on a black small rope, which held a platinum pendant and a navy blue crystal of magical nature. "Sorry for asking, but what are those?"
Alex simply put down the box and held up his makeshift necklace, making sure that Raynare could see it up close. She noticed that the medallion was quite old and had ancient engravings on it. And it was pure platinum, meaning that it was very expensive.
"That medallion is the only thing I`ve got from my mom." Alex answered. "I`ve got from her when I was only 3 years old. It also holds her image inside of it." Alex opened up the medallion, revealing the photo of a young silver haired woman with beautiful face. "That`s also the single reminder of her I`ve got left. In orphanages and foster families I had to fight tooth and nail to keep it, but I`ve managed."
Raynare could only feel pity and sadness for Alex, as he clearly missed his mother. She noticed that he never talked about his father, but figured that he didn`t want to and held his mother far more to his heart. So much suffering and pain, and only such a little remainder of a mother…
"As for this crystal, I`ve got it from a very close person as a parting gift from her." Alex said, looking at the crystal with fondness. "She said that as long I wear it, she`ll know where to find me if needed ever arises."
"She?" Raynare asked with a hint of curiosity. "And who is she?"
"She is someone who has saved my life." Alex answered. "Almost 6 years ago, I was adopted for the final time and it was the worst time ever in my life. Those monsters… did a lot to me. I`ve been with them for four months and each day was a torment like none other. And one day I`ve managed to escape their house and headed to nearby mountainous forests of Ural. However, before I could reach the forest line, head of the family got a shot at me from a hunting rifle, hitting my back." Alex visibly cringed at the memory, making Raynare sorry for asking. "I`ve managed to lose them in the forest, thanks to the night, but by the time I`ve lost them I`ve almost bled to death. And I would`ve, if Kuroka didn`t save me back there."
Raynare`s eyes widened a little once she heard the name. It was a well-known name even among the Fallen Angels. A Nekoshou that was turned Devil and killed her master, because of her usage of Senjutsu, causing her to become insane and attack everyone on sight. So, it was very surprising to hear from Alex that she… saved him.
"Wait; do you know who that Kuroka even is?" Raynare asked him seriously.
Alex looked seriously at her and answered.
"If you are asking if I know about the fact that she is a Nekomata of Nekoshou sub-species, who killed her Devil master and is wanted for that?" Alex could see the surprise on Raynare`s face. "Yeah, I know all of that and what happened in reality and what was the reason for her to do so. You see, Raynare, I`ve actually known about the supernatural world long before I was killed, all thanks to Kuroka. She was in those forests and found me half-dead. And you what she did when she saw me, a 12-year old boy, bleeding, and covered in bruises, cuts, burns and mud? She took me and nursed me back to health, helping me like no one has ever done to me, basically saving me from certain death and being practically the only one that has showed me comfort, kindness and care. If it wasn`t for Kuroka, I wouldn`t even be trusting anyone now, because after all that hell my life has been for the past 10 years up until that point, I was starting to lose hope that there was someone good out there that simply cared for me. And Kuroka proved me wrong. Hell, I owe her more then I think I`ll ever be able to repay her."
The way Alex was describing Kuroka, how softly and caringly he spoke of her, didn`t go unnoticed by Raynare and she couldn`t help but feel jealous of that Nekoshou. She could clearly understand that she was probably the closest and dearest person to Alex, and considering what she knew of him, he wouldn`t be befriending those that would hurt him. Nope, that girl was clearly framed, that what Raynare deduced. And that she, along with Sona, Akeno and Koneko might be falling far behind in trying to get closer to him, with the prospect of snatching. Fallen Angel wasn`t blind and could see how Priestess of Thunder was blushing and biting her lower lip from looking at him, or how that white-haired girl was clearly marking her territory by sitting on his lap. Or even when Sona was flirting all out with him. Still, that didn`t mean that she was going to give up on trying to get him. After all, he was devilishly handsome, had a very high potential to grow powerful, not to mention that Sacred Gear of his. But the real reason was in his attitude towards her, how he cared, protected and helped her. He showed her kindness and care that she never knew and wished to repay him back. Still, she wondered if he was up for a harem, because she was willing to share him with others, if he was on with the idea and if he were treat all those girls fairly and equally. That was something to consider.
As Alex pulled back his necklace, he turned to the exit and went towards his own room.
"See you at the dinner, okay?" He asked Raynare, who nodded back enthusiastically.
With that, Alex left the room, heading to his own room. He still had some boxes to unpack and a couple of things to think over. Essentially, it was about all of the girls that were showing him their affection towards him. He wasn`t blind to approaches of girls, as Issei was, and he could see how each girl that was close to him had her eyes on him. And he had to be perfectly fair with himself, he has grown not just attached to all of them, but has developed feelings for all of them, each unique, but similar as well, because it was the feeling of comfort, warmth, care and, most importantly, feeling of being complete and not broken. Alex knew that this was strange and unnatural, but he couldn`t help himself. He enjoyed being with Akeno, her natural beauty and personality charming him. He felt contempt with Koneko, may be small in size, but with deepness of soul and heart. He was fond of Sona, with her amazing mind and beauty. He was at ease with Raynare, clear and open with him as a day.
And then… there was Kuroka, the one and only, one person that has saved him from void and oblivion. She showed him that even in darkness there were lights to be found. His light was Kuroka, with her playful and flirtatious nature, but with deep heart, longing for what she could no longer have. Was she beautiful in Alex`s eyes? She was a goddess: beautiful long black hair tied up in split bangs, added with her charming cat ears; gorgeous figure in black kimono, barely the beauty that would make goddesses and Angels red with jealousy; her playful and flirtatious attitude, hiding her caring heart and sadness from longing for reuniting with her lost sister, Shirone. Honestly, Alex would do anything to help her, and even that wouldn`t be enough to repay her. Why? Well, because Alex, in those days that she took care of him and saved him, came to love her.
As Alex reached the door of his room, he saw that it was opened up a little. That was something that Alex didn`t like. He was a suspicious man and if he saw the opened door that he was dead sure wasn`t open before, then it could mean trouble. Alex stiffened up, activating his Slicer and entered carefully in his room. His room was a bit bigger than his previous one in Issei`s home, but nothing was hidden from the eye. And Alex was actually surprised to see that nobody was in here, as if the door was opened by a wind. Only the window was shut closed. Alex turned around to see if he simply was imagining things. Until…
"It`s been awhile, Alex, nya."
Alex could recognize that playful voice anywhere, and especially that signature 'nya'. Alex simply turned around again to see the one person that he cared more than his life, sitting on his king-sized bed, having enough place for four or five persons to sleep without any problem. And in the center before Alex was sitting Kuroka, in her ever revealing attire, a playful smile on her face and her gorgeous legs crossed in a beautiful fashion. Her twin-tails were out with the ears, knowing that Alex loved to see her in her full beauty. Alex couldn`t help, but deactivate his blade and smile genuinely to her. He looked in her hazel eyes and spoke.
"Yeah, it sure was, Kuroka." Alex said in a calm and clearly contempt voice. "I was worried for you, but I`m glad to see you."
Kuroka`s smile only grew wider, shaping into one of happiness. She stood up and simply pulled Alex in a tight and caring hug, allowing him to fully feel her body and all its assets, along with allowing Alex to have a feel of her hair and tail, wrapped around him. While Nekoshou was playful and seductive with all that could answer her criteria, Alex was different, much different form anyone she knew. When she found him, he was nothing more but a half-dead broken vessel of a person. His gaze back there was dead, his body was in so many injuries, his soul… Kuroka could only wonder who could`ve make him so dark and empty. It was as if he didn`t know even the basic kindness in the world and knew only pain suffering. Kuroka may`ve been selfish and her desires were centered on herself, her race and, most prominently, her little sister Shirone. However, she wasn`t heartless, and seeing such a poor soul in so much suffering, Kuroka flinched and decided to show him some kindness and helped him, nursing him back and treating him with kindness and care, trying to make him feel at least safe. And, as it turned out, on kindness, he answered with consideration and care of his own, showing to Kuroka not harshness, but good of his own. Over the short time, Kuroka didn`t even notice how much he grew on her and she knew that she was special for Alex, as he was more alive than before. Over a month, Kuroka came not just care for this broken boy, but feel affectionate, despite being older several years then he is, but still… She knew that members of her race were notorious for choosing partners from other races, many often not building strong relations. However, there were instances when Nekomata would feel a very strong attachment towards someone, willing to be with him, seeing him as more important than others, feeling completeness of soul with him. For Kuroka, Alex became such person, equally important as her little Shirone, that`s why she comforted him when he had nightmares, slept alongside him and even gave him his first kiss of passion. And after she led him to humans, Kuroka was still there, keeping an eye for him and showing up to be with him and check on him. She usually came twice a month, but this time she had to be extra cautious as Devils resumed hunting her and she stayed in shadows, looking after her little sister and then later, Alex, as she knew that he was going to study there. However, she wasn`t able to save him from being killed and brought back as Devil under the rule that red-haired witch of a Gremory. Still, she was keeping an eye out afterwards, watching closely him and ensuring that her Alex was safe.
Kuroka purred softly, as she felt Alex carefully embrace her back. Truly, she felt always warm and comforted in his hands. Was it love for Kuroka? She didn`t know, but she knew one thing: Alex was hers and if that red witch would try anything with him or her little Shirone, she`ll kill her. As for those girls that had been flocking around him, including her little sister, well… if they were good to Alex and cared for him and he for them, then she would allow him to keep them. But, of course, she will be hell sure that she will be his first woman and his main one. She was not a jealous type, but if they were to hurt the one she chosen, she`ll repay them. And then, she remembered of her failure to protect her chosen.
Kuroka`s expression saddened, she stopped purring, and Alex noticed a shift in her demeanor.
"Hey, what`s wrong?" Alex could feel her mood changing.
"I`m sorry." She simply said, detaching herself from him and looking away as if in guilt. "I know of what happened with you, nya." That one was not very pleasant to hear. "I should`ve stopped them…" She was now
Alex`s brow arched up in a little confusion, but he actually noticed something interesting in that statement. He didn`t blame Kuroka for anything. He knew that she couldn`t always be where she needed to be or where he wanted to be because of her status. However, he was curious of something though…
"Kuroka, can I ask you of something?" Alex asked her softly, making her slowly turn her head to him, which still wore a frown on it. "I`m not mad and I`m not blaming you for what happened. I can understand that you`ve got a ton of your own problems to deal with."
Kuroka was a bit startled by this one, because she did expect him to be mad, but instead he thought of her first. She could never get mad at him for making her blush.
"Nya~, why are you always so nice to such a bad kitty like me, nya~?" Kuroka asked him seductively, making sure that he got a good look at all her assets. "Ask right away, and I`ll say anything you would love, nya~."
Alex honestly never could get enough of Kuroka`s nature. She was simply that way: seductive and gorgeous, and damn did she know about it.
"When you said that you should`ve stooped them, it sounded as if you knew who were the attackers." Alex analyzed. "And, it sounded like you were nearby."
"Nya, you are as smart as ever, nya~." Kuroka praised him in her fashion. "Yes, nya. I was in the town, looking after Shirone and I also happened to have seen those who attacked you, nya." At that one last one she almost growled like feral cat.
It was clear that Kuroka was pissed about that. But then, Alex noticed that she said that she was looking after Shirone. Wait… White hair, weak for sweets and snacks, hazel eyes, small in stature. At that moment Alex slapped himself in the face, startling Kuroka.
'My God, am I an idiot!' And right back, he received a response from God in form of a momentous headache.
"Nya, why did you do that, nya?" Kuroka looked curious at him, titling her head.
"Is your sister Rias Gremory`s servant?" Alex simply asked, Kuroka giving a nod. "I should`ve realized it sooner. Koneko is Shirone, isn`t she?"
"Yep, nya." Kuroka responded with a smile. "By the way, after that incident, I`ve been keeping an extra careful eye on you. And I know what you`ve been up to, my unlucky Devil, nya~." Kuroka, feeling herself a bit bolder, now moved closer to him, looking in the eyes. "So, without little old me around, you`ve turned all that charm and affection to others, nya~?" Kuroka teased, letting her tail softly rub his side. "Have you decided to build a little harem for yourself and not invite me, nya~?"
Alex sweatdropped a little, realizing that really was keeping an eye out for him. And she noticed how he quickly gained himself a few girls that had feelings for him. And one of them was actually Kuroka`s little sister. He now could expect anything from the Nekoshou, from death to castration. But, what she did, wasn`t in the list. She simply leaned forward and purred in his ear.
"I know that you wouldn`t, nya~." She purred, licking his left ear a little. "And, just so you know, I`m all for you to feel comforted, even more if you make Shirone happy, nya~." She said to extremely red Alex.
"I-I didn`t expect you to react that way…" He honestly admitted, Kuroka leaning back.
"Nya, I can understand what they see in you and you in them, nya." Kuroka said with a sly smile. "You`ve been in too much pain and went out of your way to help sometimes, you really do deserve some 'compensation' for your hard work, nya~." Kuroka playfully said to him, making him blush a bit. "But…" And then, Kuroka from playful field went into a different one. "I`ve sensed the stench on you. A familiar one." Kuroka`s eye lids were now narrow, indicating that she was in very bad mood. "That Gremory girl…" She hissed that one.
"What do you mean, Kuroka? Wait a second..." And then he remembered that damned incident.
"Tell me, has she claimed you?" Kuroka was dead serious, she needed to know if Alex was claimed by that witch.
Alex understood immediately what Kuroka meant.
"No, we didn`t, I swear." Alex defended himself, but Kuroka wasn`t convinced yet. "That red-haired princess decided to use me as a body pillow for night and got in my bedroom. The first thing I did was kicking her out of the bed. I even promised to throw her out of the window if she does something like that again."
"And she did." Kuroka responded angrily. "That stench is very recent, it`s fresh. She did it this night again." Kuroka was almost growling like a feral cat in anger.
Alex got a little confused. Normally, he would notice people invading his personal space if they weren`t Kuroka. And yesterday he wasn`t exhausted and not tired. Then, she must`ve used magic one him to do that with him. Hm, now that he thinks of it, he did sleep well over 8 hours and because of that he skipped the training. Well, looks like Rias is up for some close acquaintance with the ground below his window. And, what a fortune, there were no bushes planted to hide naked!
After settling on his revenge, Alex looked at angry Kuroka, who was probably thinking on ways to kill Rias. Wanting to avoid that, along with wanting to calm down Kuroka, Alex decided to do something that was going to calm her for sure. He simply walked closer to her, looked in those beautiful hazel eyes. And then in one sudden move, grabbed the Nekoshou by the waist, surprising her, and then passionately and intensely kissing her. Kuroka froze just for a second, but quickly calmed down and her stiffness went down, softening up as a silk, answering that kiss with even more feeling and passion, embracing Alex and letting her tongue slip in and show just how much she really cared for him. For a whole minute of this passion kissing, the two were forced pull back for a breath of fresh air, but it was now clear for Kuroka that her chosen was hers, and not that witch`s. That was good.
"Nya~." Kuroka responded, licking her lips. "My, am I that important to you or not, nya~."
"You mean a world to me, Kuroka." They were still in embrace and Kuroka purred at that one.
"Nya~, my, oh my." She responded, looking up to him. "Just to let you know: I may be okay with those girls near you, but I`ll always be your first. And I`ll be your first time. And don`t even think about cheating on that one, or I`ll make you regret it for the rest of your long life."
"Wouldn`t even think about it." Alex commented, feeling how Kuroka was releasing herself. "Going already?"
"Nya~, I wish I could stay a bit longer, but those pesky Devils are all after me nowadays." Kuroka pouted a bit. "Besides, you know you love me more as a stray cat, nya~." Kuroka seductively added.
"You anything, but stray." Alex chuckled a little. "Would like me to say something to Shirone? I get a feeling that she also misses you."
"No… Not yet." Kuroka responded with a bit of sadness, but the she realized something that she wanted to tell him. "Nya, one more thing."
"Yeah, what is it?" Alex saw that underneath Kuroka a magical circle started forming up.
"Those who attacked you." Kuroka said with full seriousness. "Their names are Riser Phenex from House of Phenex and his Queen, Yubelluna." Kuroka suddenly said to him. "Ask about them that witch, Gremory. I`m sure she`ll gladly tell you how exactly did she know where to look for you. I`ll be in touch. Be safe, love." And with that, Kuroka disappeared, leaving Alex to realize something that he didn`t earlier.
He. Has. Been. Played. From. The. Start!
He didn`t realize it until now, but now it made perfect sense. How the hell did Rias know where to look for him, if she didn`t already know who and where was going to be attacked and by whom?! That gut-wrenched red-haired bitch...
And then, he now realized that he knew the names of those that attacked him, all thanks to Kuroka.
Riser Phenex and Yubelluna.
'Well, Gremory, I`ve got a ton of questions now for you.' Alex thought to himself. 'And two coffins to order….
