A few hours before Ophis and Yukio entered the portal.
--- Occult Research Club
Behind a desk was a beautiful woman with red hair while holding some papers in her hands.
Rias: "... They are not here either!" She said between sighing and throwing the papers to the table while reclining in her chair.
Next to her was a blonde girl holding a cup and looking at the papers that were now on the table.
Valerie: "Uhm ... Rias-san, you should not cause so many problems," she said as she reviewed the papers she could see something about 'Gotei 13' "What exactly are you looking for in this group?"
Rias: "Not much ... I just want to know some information, but there's nothing, not even a way to contact them."
Valerie: "Is it important?" She asked in a worried tone towards her 'King'.
Rias just sighed and said: "Actually, no ... At least not for now." She then remembered something. "So, will you tell me who you've been meeting with recently?" she said it with a playful smile.
Valerie blushed and looked back. "What are you talking about?"
Rias: "Come on, do not make it difficult", with a mocking tone.
Valerie: "Well ... but he's just a friend"
Rias raised an eyebrow and smiled "And when did I say he was not a friend?"
Valerie realized her mistake and blushed even more "D-don't mock me ... He just sits next to me ... he's new and he's quite nice."
Rias: "I see, he sounds like a good boy, would it bother you if I visit him?"
Valerie wanted to say something, but suddenly both women felt a presence in the room.
Kuroka: "Oh, come on ... How do you receive your guests?"
Valerie put herself in a battle position, she did not know this girl who came out of nowhere, but Rias stopped her.
Rias: "It's normal to attack someone who appears so suddenly ... You know?, I never got to know your name."
Kuroka: "Uh, that's true, my name is Kuroka"
Rias nodded. "Since you are here you must know my ... What brings you to this place?" She said while her gaze traveled the room in search of a certain boy
Kuroka looked at her expression and smiled "Relax, he has not come." Rias was embarrassed and Kuroka continued "But he sent me to give you a gift, along with a small letter."
She said as she walked towards Rias and gave her a letter with a box
Kuroka: "In the letter, he left you some words, as to what is inside the box, I advise you to review it when you are alone."
When she finished her words she entered a black portal disappearing from the place.
Valerie looked at the whole scene without understanding anything, picked up the papers on the table and looked at the same suit that the girl who had just left was wearing.
Valerie: "Gotei 13 ..." She focused her gaze on Rias, who held a letter next to her chest "Rias-san? ..."
Rias: "Oh ... Valerie-chan" She smiled as she sat behind her desk "What just happened never happened, right?"
Valerie nodded, she knew that something strange was happening but her teacher was happy, so it didn´t matter.
Rias: "Could you leave me alone for a moment?"
Valerie: "Okay ..." She came out of the front door with some thoughts.
Valerie: -I, I remember that name Gotei 13 …- (She refers to when Ryuta destroyed the Tepes faction)
Inside Rias could be seen, who opened a letter at maximum speed.
When she opened the seal, she was able to take out a small folded letter which she began to read carefully.
- Letter from Yukio
- Hello Rias, I know that these are not the right words after disappearing for so long, but it was not intentional ...
I want to tell you that all this time I did not forget you, I think you must be quite strong now.
But all the time I was looking forward to you becoming strong and you yourself deciding your future ... I see you did it until you got a pretty exotic name.
Crimson Tigress? ... Is it not pretty ?!
Rias was reading and was embarrassed by that title that she was granted.
-After returning, I searched for information about many things and discovered that your family was marrying you to a Phoenix-
Rias was scared, thinking that he would get angry with her, she was supposed to decide her future, but her family did not want to cancel the marriage, although she was thinking about fighting for it, she continued reading.
-But it will be very regrettable, because on the day of the wedding I will go to rescue the princess, and if that Phoenix gets in the way, we'll eat fried chicken!
-Just wait a little longer, I'll go for you ... Tomato-chan!
Rias did not know whether to blush or cry of happiness because of what was written in the letter.
Rias: "Tomato? ... I'm going to hit you until your face looks like one!"
--- Yukio---
They had crossed the portal directly to his dimension, when they arrived they directly went to the house, he saw Shuri sitting on a chair.
Shuri: "You're back ..." She looked at the little girl next to me with a strange look "Kidnapping?"
My face darkened "Oi, oi. Since when am I a kidnapper?"
Shuri: "Did not you kidnap me along with my daughter?" She raised an eyebrow
Yukio: "I kidnapped you? ... If I remember correctly, I put you under my protection" I crossed my arms.
Shuri got up from the seat and approached "And when did I agree?" She refuted in response.
He was speechless, it was true that they never agreed, but he was not going to lose the argument "You never complained!"
She stopped and laughed. "That's true, but seriously, who is she?" She said pointing to Ophis.
He looked at the little loli "Mmm, she is Ophis" he said shrugging his shoulders.
Shuri widened her gaze and looked at us repeatedly until she sighed "Actually ... I'm not surprised" She could only sigh.
Yukio: "Really? ... I thought you would have shouted or something like that ... My God, it's Ophis!" he said as he put his hand on Ophis's head and pointed.
Shuri put her palm between her lips and smiled. "Akeno showed me her dragon form, what did you expect?"
Ophis looked at us strangely and sniffed the place, then her small eyes lit up "Dragon?"
Yukio: "Now you realize?"
Ophis looked at me and turned her head in rejection "You, Dragon, I did not know there was more."
Yukio: "I see, you will be surprised that we have a fairly wide variety on this site"
The little loli made a confused look and stuck to him "What kind of dragon are you?"
He was going to respond, but Shuri was the first "Maybe one who kidnaps women!"
He looked at her and she smiled widely, he could only sigh at this woman, Ophis just tilted her head and took my hand again.
Remembering something he asked, "Where are the two fallen angels?"
Shuri: "Yasaka-san took them to her castle to give them some work before bringing them here."
Yukio: "I see ..."
Shuri looked at me and then said, "What do you plan to do with them?"
Yukio: "Actually ... I don´t know, the information I needed was already delivered to me"
Shuri approached and took my free hand "Can you let them live here?"
Yukio: "Oh, you know they are enemies, besides ... If they stay here you know I will not let them leave."
Shuri: "I know, but take it as if it were a favor from me ..."
Observing the expression of Shuri, clearly, this woman was asking him with all her heart.
Yukio: "You really got attached to them eh ... Well ..." He said before giving up against her puppyish gaze.
She hugged him and then walked away, not before looking at him again one last time.
He squeezed Ophis' hand a little while they were going outside, he already knew that Akeno was home and would be out in a moment.
Yukio: "Well Ophis, what do you want to do? In this place, there are many places that I have not reviewed."
Ophis looked at the place and made her energy flow to detect the nearby presences, the loli was a little surprised to feel some things that she did not know.
Ophis: "What are these presences?" Said the little loli pointing to a more remote direction.
He looked where she was pointing and extended his senses "Oh, those are Nymphs ..."
Ophis had a curious look, he saw her and smiled.
Yukio: "I told you, there are many places here, you should go see them, but do not kill them please ..." he said with concern, she nodded and started to rise.
But she stopped to see me "... Are you not coming?"
Yukio: "I will catch up to you, I have something to do" She nodded and disappeared, he fixed his eyes on the house.
He sighed and approached, and as he guessed.
There she was waiting for him.
Shuri: "Can we talk ..?
