[Youkai Territory, Kyoto]

"Last night was totally brilliant!!" Dora exclaimed in an excited tone and Nemuri couldn't stop herself from nodding her head. Kuroka simply groaned in annoyance.

"Will you two please stop, nya~… not all of us are getting action, nya~" Kuroka grumbled in an annoyed tone. After hearing Kuroka's words, both Nemuri and Dora started to snicker. Kuroka threw the two of them a dirty look.

"Kitty, are you perhaps jealous of our amazing man?" Dora questioned in a teasing tone and Kuroka ducked her head to dodge Dora's hand. Dora puffed out her cheeks and started to pout.

Dora thought asking a question like that would make Kuroka drop her guard but unfortunately for Dora, Kuroka herself was quite vulgar. Even though Dora's words didn't faze Kuroka, she couldn't deny she wasn't interested.

"Like any of you are going to allow me anywhere near him, nya~" Kuroka huffed in an annoyed tone and Nemuri simply raised her brows in curiosity. She easily caught Kuroka's act.

"We never stopped you. If you want to be with him then none of us are going to stop you" Nemuri said in a teasing grin. Dora also started to nod her head like a sage. Nemuri raised her finger and started to release a really oppressive aura. Kuroka almost choked when she sensed the pressure.

"But if you want to simply use him for your own agenda then Hela is going to be your least of your worries" Nemuri said in a cruel tone. Kuroka hurriedly nodded her head like a woodpecker. This was the first time she was seeing this side of Nemuri.

"Now now… don't need to scare the poor girl" Dora said and Nemuri didn't bother to say anything after that. Kuroka never thought about using Reo for her own agenda. She even offered herself for her sister's wellbeing.

Kuroka always wanted to make strong kittens and Reo was the strongest man she had ever come across. So, Kuroka was naturally attracted to the man but she simply didn't know if she should pursue a relationship or not… She also didn't know if Reo's women allow her to be around him or not.

Now that Kuroka got the green light. She decided to try her luck. If Reo rejects her then no harm done… Kuroka's gaze flickered towards Koneko who seemed to be playing with Kunou. This was the first time Kuroka saw her sister enjoying herself.

Kuroka noticed the arrival of their host so she slowly turned her head towards the Leader of the Youkai Faction to greet the woman. "Nya~, good morning, Lady Yasaka" Kuroka greeted the woman in a respectful tone.

Nemuri and Dora also greeted the woman. Yasaka greeted them back with a smile and her gaze focused on Kuroka. "Kuroka, the Leader of the Nekomata Clan is going to visit tomorrow" Yasaka said with a smile and sat beside the other three women.

"Thanks for the help, nya~" Kuroka said in a respectful tone and Yasaka simply accepted the gesture with a smile. Kuroka didn't know how the meeting was going to turn out but she was pretty excited about it…

[Grigori, Underworld]

"So, you are the strongest among the Fallen Angels?" Hela questioned as she leaned back on her throne. Creating something simple like a throne was a piece of cake for Hela.

"Um… haha!! Yeah" Azazel said in a sheepish tone and rubbed the back of his head. Hela wasn't impressed by the display. Then her eyes flickered towards the second Devil inside the room. After Azazel decided to submit, Hela immediately called a meeting.

"Now I understand why the Fallen Angels were the first ones to withdraw from the Great War" Hela said with a nod. "I have heard you are quite knowledgeable about the toys known as Sacred Gear" Hela said and Azazel nodded his head. There wasn't anything he could hide from the woman.

"Are there any Sacred Gear with the ability to control or manipulate Space?" Hela questioned and Azazel rubbed his chin for a moment.

"There are quite a few… can you tell me anything more, I need to know more if you want me to tell you anything specific" Azazel said.

"Purple mist" Hela added without missing a beat.

"It is the Longinus, Dimension Lost" Azazel said in an instant and Hela nodded her head in understanding.

"Can you tell me who possesses this Scared Gear?" Hela asked and Azazel shook his head.

"I would need to ask around but I have heard rumours that someone from the Magician Council possessed that particular Longinus but I can't tell you anything concrete" Azazel said and Hela simply closed her eyes in disappointment.

"Pity… what else can you tell me about these Long…" Hela began to speak but she was cut off when someone decided to interrupt her.

"I have heard you are quite strong" Vali Lucifer said, stepping forward. Azazel gasped in horror. A lot of murmurs broke out inside the room.

Hela slowly turned her head towards the offending Devil and her eyes narrowed. "What about it, Devil?" Hela asked and Grayfia, who was standing behind Hela, started to pity the boy.

"Vali! What the hell are you doing?" Azazel whispered furiously and Vali simply shrugged.

"She is strong, I am simply challenging her to a fight" Vali said like it was the most obvious thing in the World. An amused grin appeared on Hela's face.

"So, you are challenging me?" Hela asked and Vali simply nodded his head.

"Albion seems to be worried about you so you must be strong… Azazel also decided to submit to you, which also points in the same direction. So, yes, I am challenging you to a fight" Vali Lucifer said in a determined tone.

For a few seconds, Hela simply kept staring at the boy with a blank look on her face. Grayfia looked at him with pity in her eyes. All of a sudden Hela stood up from her throne and started to cackle in made glee. She turned towards Grayfia and stopped laughing.

"Grayfia! He is challenging me to a duel… isn't that interesting?" Hela questioned and Grayfia's eyes flickered towards the boy and she gave him a sympathetic look.

"Of course, Lady Hela" Grayfia deadpanned and once again, Hela started to cackle.

"...Um… Lady Hela, can you please spare him?" Azazel requested in a weak tone. Hela immediately stopped laughing and glared at the man.

"Fine… I will spare him" Hela said with a stiff nod. It has been quite some time since someone challenged her. Reo was the last one to challenge her. Azazel had decided to bow down without making any fuss so she decided to spare the boy.

It was pretty clear that the boy was important to Azazel and killing the boy will create discontent among her new underlings. 'I could always kill a random human on the street if I feel my hands itching' Hela mused internally.

Vali Lucifer wasn't happy with how the woman was treating him. He felt like he was being treated like a joke. He would show her… He knew that the woman was strong as even Azazel had decided to turn tail but he would at least make her respect his effort.

"So, are we going to this here or do you have any specific area for things like these?" Hela questioned in an amused tone.

"We have an arena. I will lead you there if you don't mind" Penemue spoke up and Hela's eyes focused on the sole female Cadre.

"Sure, lead the way" Penemue quickly led the whole group towards the arena in Grigori. Albion was still trying to dissuade Vali from committing suicide. Alas, battle maniacs are battle maniacs.

"Hmm… this is nice. Grayfia, do we have something like this in the Underworld?" Hela questioned while looking towards her diligent maid.

"Of course, my lady. We have several arenas such as these. Ajuka Beelzebub can even create pocket dimensions for Rating Games" Grayfia answered with a stoic look on her face.

"Oh yes… Rating games. Azazel, you were saying that you were trying to create something like the Evil Pieces, right?" Hela asked curiously and Azazel nodded his head.

"Good… I will ask Ajuka to help you. Maybe you will be able to develop a new type of Evil Pieces that could resurrect humans into Fallen Angels" Hela said and Azazel and some other Cadres were immediately excited after hearing the prospect.

"...I think we have wasted enough time. We should start!" Vali Lucifer called out from the other side of the arena.

"I agree… we have wasted enough time. Come on. Show me the best you have got" Hela said in a mocking tone and everyone else except Grayfia moved away. The others were slightly curious and wanted to know why the woman didn't move but they decided to keep their mouths closed.

A pair of Blue Ethereal Dragon wings appeared on Valo's back. "Vanishing Dragon! Balance Breaker!" An unknown voice originated from the wings and a white Draconic Armour formed on Vali's body.

Vali didn't wait anymore and lunged towards Hela at his max speed and punched in her direction. Hela simply caught his fist without any effort. A huge shockwave erupted due to the collision. Everyone present in the arena except Grayfia was surprised.

"Was that all? I am not impressed" Hela said in a disappointed tone. Even though Vali and Albion both were shocked to their cores, both of them quickly gathered their bearings.

"No, the battle is just starting!!" Vali exclaimed and started to release a huge amount of Power and Hela's eyes started to glow in amusement after watching the display…
