That same night, Yumi Kiba gave Kazuki Fuwa everything.
Having lost her virginity less than ten hours prior, a complete novice who'd never even masturbated, Yumi endured Kazuki's relentless, almost cruel passion.
However, even as he claimed her body, she welcomed his semen deep inside her pussy, drowning in euphoria unlike anything she'd ever known.
In the end, both Kazuki and Yumi ended up being late the next day.
Fortunately, Rias and Akeno didn't show up on that day either. According to a message, their questioning was taking longer than expected, and they wouldn't be back until after school.
'Ah, what a relief,' Kazuki thought. If Rias had been there, he would have had to figure out how to explain why he had stayed out overnight, so he was glad to avoid that.
It was almost like a cheating husband trying to come up with excuses for his wife (in a way, that's exactly what it was), but if he didn't have to, that was all for the better.
After school, on the way to the clubroom, Kazuki spotted Yumi walking ahead of him.
"Yumi!"
When Yumi turned around and saw him, she broke into a wide smile and hurried over to him.
"Good afternoon, Senpai! Are you heading to the clubroom too?"
"Yeah... By the way, are you feeling any pain?"
As she ran over, Kazuki noticed her gait was a little off, so he asked. Yumi's face turned bright red, and she gently took his hand.
"...Since Senpai's thing was inside me for so long… so, um, it just felt really strange down there..."
"O-oh, I see..."
This was a sensation Kazuki, as a man, couldn't fully understand. He scratched his head, trying to brush it off.
"...Um, Senpai. I'm ready anytime, so... you know, we can do it again..."
Yumi's face was beet red as she shyly tried to suggest their next rendezvous. Kazuki found her unbearably cute. If they hadn't been in such a public place, he would have hugged her and shared a passionate kiss.
'What a shame.'
"Then, let's make it happen soon, okay?"
"Yes!"
Yumi replied with a happy smile and clung to his arm. Together, they walked slowly toward the clubroom.
When they reached the clubroom, the door was open, and they heard Issei's voice from inside.
"Why are you here!?"
Kazuki and Yumi exchanged glances and peeked inside.
Inside the room, Issei and Asia were near the entrance, Koneko was eating snacks as usual in the back, and in the center of the sofa sat Xenovia, wearing a brand-new Kuoh Academy uniform.
"Xenovia!?"
Kazuki and Yumi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Seeing their reaction, Xenovia greeted them with a cheerful smile.
"Hey, Yumi-san. And Kazuki Senpai. It's good to see you again."
"Xenovia... Why are you...? And what's with that outfit?"
"Oh, that's───"
Xenovia turned her back to Kazuki and the others, and in the next moment, devilic wings unfurled from her shoulders with a leathery snap.
"I accepted Rias Gremory's offer to be reincarnated as a devil. From today, I'm also a member of her peerage. And I've been enrolled at Kuoh Academy. I'm a second-year, so we'll be classmates. I look forward to working with you."
Kazuki raised an eyebrow, his voice tinged with disbelief. "Peerage? And classmates? You?"
Xenovia shrugged, her tone casual yet edged with dry humor. "Yeah. She gave me the 'Knight' piece. Turns out Durandal was the only extraordinary thing about me. Only cost her one pawn."
Issei chimed in, scratching his head. "But you were a holy sword wielder for the Church. You're really okay with this?"
A wry smirk crossed Xenovia's lips. "Hmph. After learning there's no God left to serve… I half-lost my mind and took the deal. Though maybe accepting an invite from the sister of a Maou was reckless. Still…" She trailed off, muttering under her breath.
Kazuki leaned forward, cutting through her brooding. "Xenovia. What about Irina?"
Her expression darkened. Irina had been shattered by the truth of Heaven's silence—far more than Xenovia herself.
"She returned to Vatican headquarters with the core of the shattered Excaliburs and my [Excalibur Destruction]. Told me to pass on her regards… specifically to you." Xenovia shot Kazuki a pointed look.
"Will she be safe?" Kazuki pressed. "If the Church brands her a heretic for knowing the truth—"
"Unlikely. Her father is a member of the higher-ups of the church. Unlike an orphan like me, she's got connections. They'll protect their precious poster girl." Her voice dripped with bitter irony.
"Though she did say she'd miss fighting alongside me. Next time we meet… we might be enemies."
A flicker of loneliness passed over Xenovia's face before the floor erupted in a crimson magic circle. "No. Maybe it won't be like that?"
Rias and Akeno materialized in a swirl of devilic energy, their presence commanding the room.
"President! Akeno-san! Welcome back!" Issei practically glowed, his earlier skepticism forgotten.
Rias nodded regally, her gaze sweeping the group. "We're home. Since everyone's here, let me formally introduce Xenovia as our new Knight. Please take care of her, everyone."
Xenovia crossed her arms, her voice firm. "Xenovia Quarta, Knight of the Gremory Peerage!! Please take care of me."
Everyone nodded in response to Xenovia's greeting, though Kazuki's focus stayed locked on Rias. "What did you mean earlier, Rias? About Irina NOT becoming an enemy?"
Rias settled into her chair, steepling her fingers. "The Church reached out to the Devil King. 'Regrettably, due to the Fallen Angels' erratic movements, we propose… communication.'" She scoffed. "They also 'apologized' for letting Valper escape custody years ago."
Kazuki's jaw tightened. "So, they're not apologizing for this mess. Typical."
"The Fallen Angels sent their own excuses to Heaven and the Underworld," Akeno added, her smile sweetly venomous.
"'Kokabiel acted alone. His plot to reignite the Great War violated our neutrality.' They've sentenced him to eternal torment in Cocytus' deepest pit."
"Convenient," Kazuki muttered. "Dead men tell no tales. You really trust their word?"
"Of course not," Rias said coldly. "But publicly, we'll play along, for now."
Issei raised a hand nervously. "Uh, what'll happen to Valper?"
"Valper has been handed over to the Church," Rias replied, her tone firm and unyielding. "He'll likely be executed as a heretic. After all, he now knows the truth about God's absence."
"I see…" Yumi murmured, her expression darkening with a mix of emotions.
Kazuki noticed the troubled look on Yumi's face and gently placed a hand on her shoulder, his gaze steady and reassuring.
Sensing his touch, Yumi softly placed her own hand over his, nodding as if to say, "I'm okay." He had been worried that she might fall back into the darkness, but it seemed his concerns were unfounded.
Ahmm. Rias's drawing everyone's attention continued, "By the way, it seems that Azazel, the Governor of the Fallen Angels, will soon be holding a meeting with representatives from both Heaven and the Underworld. We've been invited as well since we were directly involved in the incident. They want to hear our side of the story."
Kazuki couldn't help but grimace internally. 'A meeting with all those big shots? Sounds like a pain in the ass. Is there any way to get out of this?'
"And just so you know," Rias added with a sly smile, "all of my servants are expected to attend. So be prepared. Understood?"
"""Yes, ma'am!!!""" the group chorused in unison.
'Damn, she's cut off all my escape routes,' Kazuki thought, sighing inwardly.
"Good. I'll let you know the schedule once it's finalized. That's all for now. Dismissed!" Rias declared, her tone leaving no room for argument.
As soon as Rias announced the dismissal, Xenovia strode straight toward Asia, her expression serious yet softened by a hint of remorse.
"Asia Argento," Xenovia began, her voice steady but laced with regret. "I owe you an apology. I misunderstood you. It wasn't until I learned the truth about God's existence and was branded a heretic myself that I truly understood your pain. I'm truly sorry."
With those words, Xenovia bowed deeply to Asia, her head lowered in genuine contrition.
"W-what!? Please, Xenovia-san, there's no need for that!" Asia stammered, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "I've never held it against you! And… I'm actually quite happy with my life now. Even though I became a devil, it's because of that I've met so many precious people. I'm truly happy now."
Asia's gaze drifted to Issei standing beside her, then to Kazuki and the others around her. A gentle, almost saintly smile spread across her face, radiating pure warmth and affection.
'Our Asia-chan really is a sweet girl,' Kazuki thought, his heart swelling with pride.
'That bastard Issei is one lucky son of a bitch. If he ever makes Asia unhappy, I'll fucking kill him.' Unintentionally, Kazuki's killing intent flared for a moment, causing Issei to visibly shudder. 'Oops, my bad.'
Xenovia seemed captivated by Asia's smile for a moment, her expression softening further before she finally relaxed.
"I see… I hope I can find happiness like yours someday," Xenovia murmured, her voice tinged with longing. "Well then, I'll take my leave."
With a lonely smile, Xenovia turned on her heel and walked away.
'It'll probably take some time for her to fully adjust to being here,' Kazuki mused, watching her retreating figure. 'I hope she can find her own happiness here too…'
Later that night…
"Mmm… slurp, fumun… chu, nha, Kazuki… slurp, zuzuzu, chu…"
"Ahh, Rias… slurpp, zuzuzu… chu… haa…"
In Kazuki Fuwa's room, the two of them were tangled together on his bed, their lips locked in a passionate kiss.
"Ahh… I missed you so much, Kazuki… chu, nnn…"
"You missed me? It's only been a day, hasn't it?"
The moment Kazuki said that, Rias pouted, her expression turning sulky.
"Ugh! Are you saying you didn't miss me at all while we were apart!?"
"Ah, no, of course I missed you."
"Really~~~?"
Rias gave him a suspicious look, her crimson eyes narrowing slightly.
"Really. Nn… kiss."
Kazuki, trying to deflect her suspicion, fiercely claimed her lips once more, his tongue diving into her mouth with a hunger that left her breathless.
"Ahhn! You're so sneaky, Kazuki!… nnn! chu, chu, mufuuuuu~~~!"
Their lips pressed together deeply, their tongues intertwining in a heated dance.
Kazuki's tongue explored every inch of Rias's mouth, tracing the inside of her cheeks, the ridges of her gums, and coating her in his saliva.
"Nnnn!… gulp, gulp, puhaa! Kazuki… nnn…"
Rias swallowed the saliva he poured into her mouth, then retaliated by letting her own sweet saliva flow into his.
"Ahh, Rias… gulp, gulp… haa…"
After drinking down Rias's saliva, he continued to ravage her mouth, their tongues tangling and saliva mixing as they kissed with increasing intensity. Kazuki's lips devoured hers as if trying to consume every part of her.
"Nmuuuu! chu, chuuuu, zuzu, muu, hunmuuuuu!!"
Rias, though struggling to breathe, surrendered completely to the sensation of Kazuki's tongue exploring her mouth.
Eventually, Kazuki gently nibbled on the tip of her tongue.
"Hmmmmmmmm~~~~~!!"
The sudden bite sent a jolt of pleasure through Rias, her toes curling and her body trembling as she reached her peak.
"Haa, haa, haa, haa…"
Rias was left breathless, her lips glistening with saliva, her mind hazy and half-conscious. Her naked body was a sight to behold—her nipples stiff and erect, her thighs slick with arousal, her pussy soaking wet.
"Rias…"
"Nnn, Kazuki…"
Kazuki pressed a soft kiss to Rias's lips, and the two of them held each other close as they drifted off to sleep.
