Chapter 025

Well, it's for you to decide Rias... He spoke calmly. - Or would you prefer to leave that to Issei?

-And me?! - The young brunette swallowed hard.

-W-Why?

- Well... In theory, you are the one who suffered the most because of them. Rias replied, crossing her do with them? Spare them and send them back to Grigori... Or kill them?

Issei swallowed.

There was silence in the place.

The brunette spent a long time thinking, not sure what to do, that's when Naruto intervened.

- Issei... This world is not beautiful or a fairy tale. - He said, seriously. Do you see that Angel trapped there? She killed you, killed me and tried to kill Asia... How many people did she do the same? How many more people will she kill for stupid ambitions? Don't make a stupid decision.

Issei listened quietly... He knew what Naruto was saying: Kill her.

Not killing her meant he would have a living enemy, an enemy who could come back for him later... A dangerous enemy....

But...

I-Issei-kun! A feminine and almost childish 1- voice, somewhat innocent in fact, sounded.

Naruto looked at the owner of the voice:

Raynare, the Fallen Angel.

Her appearance was not that of a Fallen Angel, but rather that of an ordinary teenager, with a beautiful and innocent face, completely different from what she was before...

"Her transformation made her body shrink in size and the sand didn't squeeze her as much... Giving her space to talk... Smart, I admit." - Naruto thought, continuing to observe what she said.

- I... Please forgive me! I won't do anything bad though! I-I swear! I've already learned my lesson! - She begged and cried, making Issei's face contort in surprise. I-Issei-kun... I-l, I'm not bad... I was forced! It was a mission! I'm sorry... I... I swear, Issei-kun!

Naruto watched his reactions, completely neutral. You laughed in the same way... Koneko and Kiba were calmly watching too, while Akeno... She had a deep gaze towards the blonde. She looked ready to eat his kidney with puree!

Issei continued hesitating, stalling for many seconds, before opening his mouth... Nothing came out at first... But after gaining courage again, he responded.

S-Send... Send them back to Grigori. - Issei replied, making Naruto sigh. Not just him, Rias too.

They both thought the same thing: "Too weak, Too innocent".

- Naruto, you heard Issei. - Rias said.

I can't... The blonde said. We both know this is a stupid decision, Rias.

And then he shook hands... There was no time, there was no mercy.

The sand quickly covered all of their heads and took their lives in a single grip. There were no screams, there was no blood... The sand absorbed everything. Everyone's eyes grew a little, except for one: Your King.

Rias wasn't surprised, she knew he was probably going to do that... She felt that Naruto had been a leader in his past life, a warrior, someone who couldn't afford to leave an enemy alive.

Issei was surprised, he opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. He remained still, looking as stupid as he had over and over again.

He was partly shocked, partly disgusted... And very confused.

- That... I... Why? He didn't formulate a sentence correctly, but he said parts of several that he wanted to know.

They are enemies Issei... They planned to kill Asia and take away her Sacred Gear just to increase their own power. He said, before adding. If it were the other way around, they would have no mercy.

There was silence. Issei shook his hands

tightly... He didn't blame Naruto, he blamed himself.

Naruto didn't say anything, as he fell with just

one knee to the ground, his head bowed.

Rias blinked in surprise, as did Kiba and Koneko. Issei and Akeno had different thoughts in their heads..

Rias suppressed her surprise as she said:

You disobeyed me. crossed and serious eyes. She said with arms

- Yes. He replied.

- You know there will be a punishment, don't you? Rias asked.

- Know. The blonde replied, before adding. - And I'm ready to receive it.

-... Great, you can go home. Tomorrow I'll decide it. - Rias said, seeing the blonde wave, get up and start to leave...

There was silence again, before Rias sighed.

Well, what a mess. She said seriously. - I'll call Sona to sort all this out... You can go too... Oh, wait.... She turned to Kiba, Koneko and Issei. You will also be punished for disobeying me.

- Yes, buchou.

Rias sighed, before opening a magic circle.

She didn't even realize that Akeno hadn't been there for a long time...

Naruto continued walking through the park, while thinking about everything that had happened that day... A lot, a lot...

But that wasn't what he was really thinking about, but rather the faint sound of wings that he could hear.

- Akeno... I know you're there. - He said, calmly.

There was a slight silence, before Akeno fell to the ground facing him... Her eyes locked with hatred on the blonde.

Naruto looked at her, with a slight disinterest, before speaking.

- Can I help you? - He raised an eyebrow.

-... What was that? She asked.

Naruto didn't respond right away, he made a slightly confused face.

... Forgiveness? - He did not understand.
