"As your future husband, it is only natural that I was the one chosen to make sure you do not trouble our glorious race and to ensure you are taking your preparations to become a proper lady of the devil race seriously. "
Yeah, Rias decided that this day was officially the worst day of her life past, present, or future.

In a separated space that no one can normally reach a group was reading several documents.
"So, these are the new prospective Sacred Gear users we managed to detect. What are your orders regarding them?" Siegfried, a clone of the legendary hero Siegfried, questioned his leader who was lazily reclining in his chair, an apple on his hand as he thought about it.
"Send teams 1 and 3 to Germany, they should be strong enough to get to those six new potential recruits and they are quite persuasive to make them come. Team 2 will go to Australia, they are adrenaline junkies and the users there seems to be the type that would demand a more violent approach.
As for the ones in Mexico, send team 5 and Herakles, they should be able to rescue the users that are in the hands of the cartel there and would make an impression on the recruit's impressionable minds. " Cao Cao said easily enough, an effective and useful plan to deal with all of the targets.
"Understood, I am sure Herakles will like this. Destroying a Cartel would certainly make him quite excited about this act of a hero.
" Siegfried chuckled, Herakles was the type that believed that to be a hero you should create as much damage as possible while looking good for those watching.
Probably why he spends so long in the mirror practicing Jojo poses and taking care of his hair.
"Are there any other potential recruits?" Cao Cao questions.
"Well, we have had news that a human managed to defeat and nearly mortally wound the knight of the princess of Gremory. " Siegfried said and Cao Cao rolled his eyes.
"This hardly sounds like enough reason to recruit someone. "
"What is relevant, however, is that no one actually knows who this person is. There is speculation it could be the missing stray exorcist that wasn't amongst the list of casualties but he was not particularly skilled and would not be able to defeat a knight trained by the self-entitled best swordsman of the devil race.
I also confirmed this information with our Grigory spies, the chance of an unknown third party being involved is high. There is even mention of Governor-General Azazel being interested in finding out what is going on, especially seeing as Kuoh is one of the 'hot spots' where more Sacred Gear users appear.
The chance of this being the work of a yet unknown user is not zero. " Siegfried said and Cao Cao raised a single eyebrow.
"Well, this is slightly more interesting. This person could be a Sacred Gear user we didn't find before or someone that another faction sent to spy on the devils.
Either way, we should try to look into it, send Jeanne and her personal guard there. She is the most careful of our lieutenants and her holy swords would be able to do short work of the weak devils in town if she works together with her squad.
At the very least, escape wouldn't be an issue with someone like her. Tell her that her mission is to find this person, to look for other potential recruits considering how that place is a hot spot, and when it is time to go she is to make sure to create some chaos to make the devils in an even worse situation.
" Cao Cao said with Siegfried bowing his head and leaving the room afterward.
The Hero Faction was still a new group, they had to recruit as much as possible if they intend to prove to the supernatural the power of mankind. Any seedling that could help with that shouldn't be easily ignored, and if this person who managed to hunt a devil knight was truly human then he should be worth recruiting.
As for making the devils in an even worse situation, that was just a cherry on top since the devils continuously took Sacred Gear users and turned them into other devils.
They were competition so to say, both aiming to take the same demographic, and if the Hero Faction could make things worse for the devils then all the better.

DRIP
DRIP
The sound of rain could be heard in the house as Mittlelt woke up. She has never expected to wake up again after what she went through in the hands of that sadistic devil, so much pain was beyond what she expected to be able to wake up from.
Looking around she could only see from one eye as the other was still close due to the swelling over it. Her entire body hurt quite a lot and moving was hard, but the fact she survived was enough to let her happy.
". .
. It seems like you woke up.
It was faster than I expected. "
Moving as fast as she could without making the pain spike even higher Mittlelt could see a human standing there. She tried opening her mouth to speak but her throat was far too dry for her to be able to do that.
"Wait just a sec. " Soma said as he moved to the kitchen, prepared a pitcher of water, and brought it to the fallen angel.
Carefully as to not pull any stitch he raised her upper body to let her drink the water to quench her thirst.
The loli fallen drank it all with gusto, needing the water more than even she expected.
"COUGH COUGH. "
"Hey now, no need to hurry. The water ain't going anywhere.
" Soma said after the fallen chocked on the water due to the hurry in trying to drink it. After a bit and with her thirst dealt with Soma sat on her bed and looked her over.
Truly, it was quite unfair. Despite how injured this fallen angel was, she was recovering at an absurd speed when compared to a normal human and her flesh was also tougher than that of a human, something he figured out during her training.
She even had a natural mana core, even if it was really small it would still be able to produce enough energy to match 80 magic circuits with no problems.
Shaking his head off such thoughts Soma spoke.
"Now that your thirst is dealt with could you start explaining to me exactly what happened in that church? And I want ALL details told in all honesty. Do not try lying to me, I can be a gracious host or the worst torturer depending on your answers.
" Soma said and released just a trace of his killing intend honed during the time he was forced to visit the Land of Shadows while training with the Celtic heroes. He had to impress on her the fact she was not to look down or ignore his words, that she had to listen and listen well to what he said.
As for Mittlelt, as she felt the killing intent she froze and then. .
. passed out.

Soma looked at this and sighed, he was in too much of a hurry and tried to pressure someone when they were in the middle of treatment, passing out wouldn't be strong.
"SIGH, This questioning will take a while. Well, I guess I could just go and make a late lunch while I wait for her to wake up again.
" Soma said to himself before going to the kitchen to deal with hunger, one of the greatest enemies.
