Preparing for the attack

The next morning they had to deal with grumpy Maou, who wanted to know why she had such a headache.

"Why does my head hurt, did I hit the floor again or something?" Alex and Rosswiesse looked away at her words and they both said,

""No idea."" Serafall looked at them suspiciously and pointed at Rosswiesse while saying,

"I don't know what happened, but I have the feeling that you betrayed me or something. Oh well I'll find out later, for now we need to prepare for the next fight." She then stood and a magic circle spread out from under her, causing her body to shine for a moment then leaving her wearing a magical girl outfit. She opened her eyes and made a pose while saying,

"That's better, magical girl Levia-tan💕, reporting for duty!" She then left, presumably to find Yasaka, leaving the two alone. Alex looked at Rosswiesse, who turned bright red and looked away. He smiled at her reaction, and grabbed her hand while saying,

"What's wrong Rose? You seem a little flustered." She flinched at his words, and started stuttering,

"W-w-we d-d-did t-t-THAT last night! How else am I supposed to react?! Oh, what am I supposed to do now?! How am I supposed to face the other Valkyries?" She then started crying. Alex smiled bitterly, before leaning over and pecking her lips once again, effectively getting her to stop. He then said,

"You can just show them your amazing boyfriend, and ask them if they have one to show off as well." Alex knew that not having a boyfriend was a trait shared by all the Valkyries, and knew that at most they'll be jealous of Rosswiesse for having one when they don't.

They then finished their breakfast, before Rosswiesse left to got meet the second years, and Alex went to stay near Yasaka and Serafall. They didn't believe that the hero faction will attack the inner Capitol, but it was better to be safe than sorry. He walked in to hear them discussing plans.

"And I say it's a bad idea!" He heard Serafall saying to Yasaka. Yasaka shook her head, and replied,

"It's better than staying here and waiting for them to force their way to me. I won't allow the other youkai to be victims for me." Alex could have a decent idea what they were discussing, Yasaka wants to go out and draw the hero faction out of hiding, and Serafall didn't want to risk her. He then spoke up,

"I think it's a good idea." They looked at him, Yasaka with gratitude, and Serafall with irritation. He then continued,

"When the others get here then we can have them also act as escorts, maybe have Yasaka act as guide for us around Kyoto." They considered his thoughts, Serafall still thought it wasn't a good idea, but they decided to go with it so that the situation would be over with instead of just waiting. She then decided to go take a bath, since she felt like she hadn't had one for a couple days, leaving Alex and Yasaka alone together. At first the two didn't say anything, until

"Thank you by the way, I wouldn't have stayed safe if you hadn't gave us the warning." Alex tried to wave away her gratitude.

"It's alright, as long as we prevent any damage the Khaos brigade wants to cause. I should actually be thanking you for believing me when I didn't have any proof to my words." She chuckled lightly, and started moving closer.

"Yes, but you came all the way here, and even put yourself at risk just to protect me. Watching you fight them was very inspiring." At this point she was sitting right next to Alex, and was leaning closer slowly but surely. Alex realized what she was doing, and said with a grin,

"If you put it at way, then I'll be more than happy to accept your thanks." Yasaka smiled, before pressing her lips against his. They then started a battle with their tongues, as Alex pulled her onto his lap. He reached his hand into her kimono, and started feeling the mountainous breasts she was concealing in there. As they were getting a little more passionate, the door opened.

"They're here mom!" Kunou walked in with Rosswiesse, Azazel and the second years from the trip. When they saw Alex making out with Yasaka, they all froze.

"M-mom, what are you doing?!" Kunou asked her mother. Rosswiesse had a look of betrayal, while the other girls had looks that said "of course", and Azazel was giving the thumbs up. Of course at that moment Serafall walked in as well, and pointed at Alex with realization,

"THATS WHAT IT WAS, I SAW YOU AND ROSSWIESSE AFTER YOU WERE TOGETHER LAST NIGHT!!!" Causing everyone to look at him and Rosswiesse with amazement, and Azazel gave him another thumbs up.

A couple hours later after the initial awkward situation, they were getting ready to leave to tour around Kyoto. Yasaka would act as their guide like Alex said, and hopefully her being around, even with all of them would draw out the hero faction. What surprised Alex somewhat, was that Kiryuu was also with them.

"Ufufufufu, surprised senior? I learned about Devils a few weeks ago when I found a flyer in my pocket." He looked at Azazel questioningly, who only shrugged.

"She's part of the same group as Asia, Xenovia and Irina. We can't have her wander around by herself, so we'll at least keep her close to Yasaka." Alex sighed, and didn't say anything, not that he could being the one who gave her the flyer in the first place. So they walked around Kyoto to see the different sights. Alex was quite happy to be able to walk around the city, except for the fact that he was constantly on the watch for an attack. Finally, after a few hours of walking around, right when it was about to get dark, they were all surrounded by mist.
