Chapter 59: A Good Knight? by Harem-Fan

     Ring Ring~♪! During my last chemistry class, my phone rang, and I just looked at the teacher apologetically...

     I went into the empty hallway, to answer the call.

     The only reason I broke the rules, and took the call was, I knew who the caller was and I didn't want to miss it.

     "Hello, this is Matsuda! Talk to me if you love me!"

     I put on my playful smile, and waited for the other side.

     [Hello Matsuda, you told me to call if I needed your help...]

     I love how Xenovia has a plain tone, like Koneko... So if you didn't know her, you would think she was strange.

     "Let me guess, Irina spent all of your yen on a fake painting made by a schoolchild... And instead of robbing non-believers, you remembered me and would like me to fill your belly?"

     Why is Issei giving me a thumbs-up in my mind?

     Oh, It's the belly-filling comment!

     [Matsuda, you're amazing to even know what happened, but I know you are very capable of such foresight! Yes, we are currently in bad shape from not eating for a while, and I would love it if you could show me your grace.]

     "Well, I would love to spend time with you, so I will bring Issei to keep Irina busy, then you and I can spend some time together... What do you think?"

     [Matsuda, I shall let you make all the plans. I will do as you say. Thank you for everything you have done. I would like to repay you!]

     Damn she is cute!

      "No repayment is necessary, I help you because it makes me happy, and I like to pamper a pretty girl... Plus, between friends, we shouldn't keep a tally of repaying one another, right?"

"Anyway, I have to go back to class, so meet us on Main Street in an hour. I'm glad you called!"

     [I will wait for you, bye. Click do do do...]

     I just walked back in, and gave Issei a lecherous thumbs-up, only my Bro can understand...

     I saw in his eyes, he understood my meaning.

     We perverts have a secret-language we perform with our hands and facial gestures, to relay covert lewd information!

     So I told Asia that Issei and I had some special-training to do after school, and just hang with the ORC girls till I came back tonight.

-

     I and Issei left school in high spirits...

     I told him I hooked us up with two hot girls to have a meal with, and I would have us split into pairs, so he can have alone time with his date.

     He was so excited!

     I didn't have the heart to tell him his wallet was going to break under that glutton's belly!

-

     Xenovia and Irina were both sitting on a bench, waiting for our arrival...

     I waved to the two, and I said to the pair.

     "Hi girls, it's good to see you again."

     "We are both thankful you have taken pity on the both of us, thank you."

     Xenovia just puts her hands together in thanks, and so does Irina.

     "Hey Irina, Issei here was super excited to take you out for a meal and to catch up. He is a lonely guy and would like to talk about your old days together, so just have a meal with your old friend..."

     I pointed to Xenovia, and told Irina.

     "I will take Xenovia to my favorite place to eat, and then later we will meet back up at the central park fountain at sunset!"

     Irina looks unsure about splitting up, so I just say...

     "Or I can just treat Xenovia and Issei, while you could wait at your old church if the idea of spending time with Devils is that bad? Xenovia can bring you take out?"

     I don't want to eat with Irina, because her looks towards me are making me feel guilty here.

     Although Issei is a Devil now, she still was childhood friends with him, and her tummy hurts.

     "No, I'll go! I mean I would love to eat with Issei!"

     Yup the power of an empty stomach is all powerful!

     Issei gave me the secret thumbs-up, and walked off with his wallet sinker...

     Xenovia just teased me with her expressionless tone.

     "The Devil's tongue has a lot of the power of persuasion..."

     Xenovia just gives me a small smile seeing through my actions.

     I just cough and say...

     "Ahem~! I just wanted to have a nice date, so I would rather not be glared at the whole time by her, if you get my drift."

     "Oh, I didn't realize we were going on a date? I have no experience on dates. I'm afraid I don't know what I should do?"

     Xenovia just cutely ponders the situation.

     I extend my left-hand, and say to this maiden.

     "It's easy, just take my hand and we will just walk to our restaurant, and have a nice meal. All you have to do is enjoy your partner's company, nothing really hard. As long as you enjoy the person you're with, the date is just that easy!"

     Xenovia just smiles then does her usual bold statement.

     "Then when the date ends, we kiss, right?"

     Wow she just goes right for the throat right away?

     She just never was able to enjoy life like a normal girl... she is pitiful.

     "Kissing isn't mandatory on a date. That's optional if your partner moves your heart, if they don't make your heart flutter, then don't kiss at the end, got it!"

     She just nods in the affirmative...

-

     I just took Xenovia to a McDonald's and we sat in a secluded area on the back to enjoy some junk food.

    The McDonald's in Kuoh Town, offers items like the Teriyaki McBurger and Ebi Filet-o (shrimp burger)!

     I figured a nice restaurant wouldn't have suited Xenovia's hunger level and junk food can make you happy with a nice variety.

     The guy taking the order was speechless, at how much food we ordered!

     We each ordered a combo meal, and then an additional 2 burgers each.

     And then got shakes to go...

-

     After the meal Xenovia and I went to the Issei murder park, to sit and wait for the other two to be done with their date...

     Xenovia on my left, who has her shoulder leaning on mine, asked me.

     "Matsuda, when we were in the trial, you said your Father let you know about me and my story... Can you tell me what happens to me after we finish the mission? Even if I die, I want to know what path the future has taken?"

     She is looking at me seriously... Damn, the question is tough.

      "Well, in that alternate story, I wasn't the Pawn of Rias Gremory, but instead it was Issei... When the mission ended you learned a truth about the world that branded you a heretic... Then you begged Rias Gremory to become her Knight, and she gladly accepted you into her Peerage..."

"Now none of that is a fact, my existence has changed everything from your story... Now your future is yours to do as you like, but sadly, you've sealed your fate with the Church, by being with me... I feel a bit sad about that... No matter which path you're on, the Church rejected you. I'm sorry."

     Flicker Buzz~! I just looked at the park lamp-post that just turned on, and felt melancholy for her.

     "Was I happy as a Devil?"

     She just asked a simple question, but it felt like a big one!

     "Yes, you had friends and went to school... You fought and defeated evil. You pursued motherhood, and you fell in love. But for sure you were happier as a Devil than a Human!"

     I just told her my view of how she acted in the anime...

     I was smiling thinking of her trying to sexually assault Issei for baby-batter in the pool changing room.

     "Did I know you in that life?" 

     Xenovia shows no reaction to my tale, so I just keep going...

     "Yes, we met in my school and same class, but I was just a Human that didn't even know about the supernatural. My best friend was a Devil, and I had no idea. My old self was a pervert, and I didn't really amount to much, just a normal guy..."

"You were a girl my other self could never get close to, and honestly, I didn't like my Human self very much. He just saw women as a sexual object to be used. I didn't like that at all! So I had a chance to change my destiny and I took it with no regrets! I thank my Father everyday for my life in this world..."

     I just looked up at the floating clouds passing by the moon, and remembered how Kalawarna and I sat here like this.

     "If I become Rias's Knight, will I be able to be by your side in this life?"

     I just got startled at her blunt question.

     I really do want to say yes, so Xenovia and I can be close, but...

     Becoming a Devil means you don't get an afterlife like other souls, well except for Issei.

     This is the reason non-Humans don't get Sacred Gears by Heaven's System, only the Half Humans can carry them. (Artificial Sacred Gears don't count.)

     "No, I meant, you can stay Human and be by my side too, if you want! Being a Devil was just an option for you."

     Her brain works on its own wavelength!

     "How long does a Devil live for?"

     Don't the Exorcists know this?

     "On average, it is about 10,000 years or so, however the Angel, Fallen, and Devil can live infinitely, theoretically. But battle will end most Devils before their time comes... just like a Human."

     "If I'm a Devil when we fight the Leader Kokabiel, Fallen Angel, will our chance of victory increase?"

     Xenovia is hard to keep up with, now I know why Issei complained in the anime.

     "Objectively, with a Devil body and the Knights speed, your battle power would skyrocket, and I personally believe it would increase our odds of winning. But it is unnecessary, we should be fine even without that!"

     I have this bad feeling she is making some strange thoughts here.

     Xenovia looks into my eyes and says...

     "I, Xenovia Quarta, with my own free will, choose to become Rias Gremory's Knight, so I can be your Knight! Take me to her now and let me be happy!"

     Mwah~! She then puts her arms around my shoulders, and begins to kiss me passionately, she is even slipping me her inexperienced tongue!

     My brain can no longer think straight, so I do what any horny guy would do in my situation...

     I put my arms around her waist, wrapped in a black leotard, and kissed her back!

     Thinking is for virgins!

     My hands became very dishonest, and I felt her curves, as our kissing became very rough.

     Her exposed thighs felt incredible, and I lost track of time, and the fact we were supposed to meet others in this park...

-

     Cough~! About 15-minutes later, we hear a girl's cough loudly, to break our pink-world...

     Behind Irina, is Issei my cheerleader, giving me a lewd grin and a pair of big thumbs-up?!

     That is actually a funny picture those two are making!

     "Xenovia, I can't cover for you anymore! The Church will kick you out for sure!"

     Irina is starting to cry a bit, and my heart feels sad for her...

     Xenovia just stands up from my lap, and hands Irina her Holy Sword of Destruction, and then smiles at her friend.

     "I'm sorry Irina, I will be taking my happiness into my own hands. I will complete my mission... But it will be completed by the Devil Xenovia Quarta, of the house of Gremory!"

     She just gives her now ex-partner a warm smile.

     Irina, in disbelief and anger, lashes out at me, because I am at fault here...

     "Matsuda, I hate you! Why did you take Xenovia away from me?"

     Irina is now crying and my heart feels really bad for her... I'm the worst!

     "Irina... I'm sorry for hurting you. I know you can't understand why this is happening... So I will fix things for you, please wait a moment!"

     I know my identity will soon be known to all factions of the world, so I will just make a small move now to try and ease Irina's heart a bit...

     So I open my Gremory magic-circle to Heaven in front of the 3 shocked people!

     The followers of the Church and Heaven can recognize that the transmission is going to Heaven, so the look in Irina's wide violet eyes is priceless.

     When did a Devil have the balls to speed dial Heaven?! (The same result as praying, painful headaches and injury.)

     "Hey there, I'm calling for business right now, and have a member of the Church present, so the personal questions will be for later... Yes I'm fine. I need you to pass a message to Michael, tell him the Exorcist Xenovia Quarta will be joining me as a Devil in the house of Rias Gremory..."

"That's right, but what I need you to relay is that her partner Irina Shidou did everything in her power to stop Xenovia from leaving the Church... That's right!"

"Yes, I know and I did foresee this event... I will, and tell him to not send anyone to interfere in the fight... We will deal with the Fallen Leader, also tell him Azazel isn't a part of this mess, and he will help out..."

"I miss you too, and kiss Sera for me... Yes, I know I will be super careful! Worst case happens, I will open a Heaven Elevator for you to save me... I'm kidding, I promise I won't do that... Yes Madam! You too, bye!"

     I stopped my magic circle call, and looked at the combination of confused and shocked faces...

     I told Irina.

     "Don't worry Irina, your bosses will know you did well! And we will help to retrieve the fragments for you!"

     I just smiled, and Xenovia looked even more enthralled while holding my arm... Damn she is like Asia.

     Church-girls are easy!

     Irina just points at me like I killed God.

    "Y-You just called Heaven! How, a Devil can't call Heaven! That is impossible!" 

     Issei, just looks confused?

     "Bro, did you just call that Heaven?!"

     Poor guy, he probably didn't really believe in it.

     Where does he think his headaches came from?

-

     A few minutes later...

     Ring Ring~! Irina's phone rang, and she answered it in disbelief...

     "Yes... Yes... I understand, but... Yes, I understand..."

     She just looks like her soul left her, as she puts her phone away.

     "Xenovia was just excommunicated, and I am to continue my mission as planned... They said I'm not at fault, and to just ignore this... I don't understand, how can you do this?!"

     Irina just looks defeated...

     I take the burner phone from Xenovia, and hand it to Irina, who takes it without fuss.

     Then I say to this sad woman.

     "You will get all your answers when you become an Angel in Heaven! We will meet in the future, and you will understand everything at that time..."

"But for now, you must be left in the dark, alright? For now let's work together to stop the 3-way war. You have my number in there if you need help, and here is some food money. Take it, the Church and Heaven will forgive this."

     In a daze, Irina Shidou, the future self proclaimed Angel, walked back to the old church holding her ex-partners Sword of Destruction...

-

     "Let us go back home, you two!"

     I say this after watching the sad Irina walk away.

     Xenovia held my arm as the three of us left the park...
