Exorcist Girls

Regena's PoV

Arriving at school I separated from Yuuto-kun as he is in a different class. As I sat down my seat Aika Kiryuu came and had a strange smug smile.

Seeing this I immediately got a bad feeling.

"Ne, ne, I heard that you and Kiba shared a bed." She said to me with a whisper.

Hearing that I choked on the water I was drinking. I was kinda thirsty as we walked here in this unbearable heat.

"Do you need advice? Asia has been following them and it seemed to work according to her." She asked me.

"Wait, where did you even hear that from?" I asked her. This only happened this morning.

The only ones at home was me, Yuuto-kun and...

Finally realising the culprit I looked towards Raina who is avoiding eye contact.

"Raina-chan accidentally spilled it earlier when I asked her why she looked red." She replied answering my earlier question.

"Just dont tell anyone else..." I said to her and proceeded to explain what happened of course minus the supernatural stuff.

I just told her that I met Yuuto-kun on the way home who had something on his mind and we talked about it. I also explained that I accidentally gone towards the wrong room last night.

"I dont want to trouble Yuuto-kun with any of these rumors." I told her with a sigh.

"Hoo~ so you call him Yuuto-kun hmm? You also sound like you don't mind it that much." She said with a teasing tone. Hearing that I got embarrassed and turned to look away.

"Its not like that..." I replied in a small voice.

She was about to say something else but the teacher already arrived.

"Well we will tak about it later. If you need advice just come to me."

I let out a sigh watching her go back to her seat.

...

It was now break time. Once the bell rang Raina immediately tried to ran away but failed as I managed to caught her with a vice claw to her head.

"Onee-chan! Time out! It hurts!" She screamed out in pain.

This girl really likes to sometimes cause trouble. Although recently she had been quiet so I thought she no longer causes trouble but I it seems I was being naive.

Damn it how am I gonna face Yuuto-kun if this spreads a rumor!

Just the thought of it makes me wanna bang my head to the wall.

"So who else did you tell?"

"Ah!!! Onee-chan let go!" She continued to yell out in pain.

I sighed as I released her.

"So who else?"

"...only Asia-chan who was with us and overheard it."

Asia isnt the type of person to create rumors so it should be fine but I should see her later. However I would regret not looking for her earlier as It would be too late when I approach her.

...

Currently I am headed to the Occult Research Club room at the other school building. I have felt an aura that came from a holy sword earlier.

Coming along with me is Raina who also has a serious expression. We were worried that a strong exorcist came here and wanted to deal with our devil friends.

As we were about to knock on the door we heard an unknown girl's voice.

"The Catholic Church was in possession of two Excaliburs including mine. The Protestant Church also had two. Also in the Eastern Orthodox Church there were two as well. The last one went missing in the previous war between God, devils, and fallen-angels. One Excalibur was stolen from each Church. The ones that stole them escaped to Japan, and brought them to this town."

Seriously why in this town? Shouldn't it be better to take it to their own territory?

"Looks like my territory is full of incidents. So who are the ones that stole the Excaliburs?"

"The ones that stole them were the Grigori."

What?! I haven't heard anything from Father regarding this. I look towards Raina and she also had a shocked expression.

"The holy-swords were taken by the fallen-angel organisation? It's not a matter of mistake. But certainly it would be the fallen-angels when it comes to stealing them. For the devils working at the top, holy-swords does not give them much interest."

"We know the main culprit who stole the Excaliburs. One of the leaders of Grigori, Kokabiel."

"Kokabiel, One of the leaders of the fallen-angels that survived the previous wars since ancient times I never expected to hear the name of the one that appears in the Bible."

Kokabiel... that bastard! He really is intent on making trouble for Father...

Deciding it was the perfect time. I knocked on the door.

I then heard Rias' voice giving us permission to come inside after asking who it was.

Entering inside all eyes were on me. Looking around I saw that everyone from Rias' Peerage is present talking to 2 girls from the church.

"May I ask who you are?" Ask the girl with the blue hair with a dyed green fringe on the right side.

"Just one of the supernaturals here allied with Rias. Judging from your attire your from the church?" I asked then with a cold smile.

The two of them then introduced themselves. I looked at Yuuto-kun and saw that compared to before he can control his hatred. His behaviour is also pretty normal compared to the past few days.

The two exorcist girls then continued to explain. That several exorcists and priests sent in this town secretly were all killed.

"Our request… No. Our order is to not to have any devils intrude in the battle between us and the fallen-angels for the Excaliburs. In other words, we came here to tell you not to interfere with this incident."

Rias' eyes changed after hearing the way Xenovia talked. I also frowned thinking that these two are being this arrogant in Rias' own territory.

"Such manner of speech. dont you have restraint? Are you thinking that we might collaborate with those fallen-angels? Perhaps that we might team up with them to do something with Excalibur?"

"The headquarters think that it might not be impossible." Irina replied.

"The higher-ups don't trust devils and fallen-angels. We were ordered as that If the holy-swords are taken away from God's side then the devils would also be happy right? The fallen-angels would also profit from it. For those reasons it won't be weird for them to form an alliance. That's why we are giving you a warning. If you form an alliance with the fallen-angel Kokabiel then we will eliminate you all. Even if you're the little sister of the Maou, by our boss." Xenovia added.

Seeing this Rias got even more pissed.

"Don't you think you are being a bit too arrogant?" I told them which attracted their attention.

"What does someone like you a human who allied with the devils have any right in this?" Xenovia said arrogantly.

This is why I never liked those church priests...

"... If you know that I am sister of a demon king, then that means you have a lot of connections to the higher ups of the church. Then I will tell you this. We will not form an alliance with the fallen-angels. Never. In the name of the Gremory house. I will not do something that would tarnish the name of our Demon King." Said Rias cutting into the conversation.

Kinda ironic dont you think since me and Raina are half Fallen angels... Yuuto-kun has even glanced towards us for a bit before looking back at the two exorcist girls. While the two of us had awkward expressions(Raina) that only Yuuto-kun noticed.

It had become a contentious situation for both sides. However Xenovia then  laughed and continued.

"Hearing that is good enough. I had to warn you just in case that Kokabiel is hiding himself in this town along with the three Excaliburs. If something were to happen I would be the one to be hated by the bunch in the Church headquarters. Well, we won't ask for cooperation. If you were to form an alliance with God's side temporally, then it would affect the balance of the three factions. Especially if it's the little sister of a Maou."

So they are not total idiots...

After hearing Xenovia, Rias softened her expression and took a breath, calming herself down. I look towards Issei and as expected he is having trouble keeping up.

"Where is the people the Orthodox Church dispatched?"

Xenovia answered Rias' question,

"They have that person put on hold for this case. They are planning to protect the last Excalibur just in case Irina and I fail."

"So it's just the two of you? You are going to retrieve the Excaliburs from a leader of the fallen angels with just the two of you? How reckless. Are you trying to die?"

Rias said it with an amazed voice. I stand corrected they are idiots...

Why the hell would you just send these two girls? Are the people managing the church idiots? Wait dont tell me they also have a traitor among the higher ups and wanted to send these naive girls as sacrifices to send those Excaliburs to the bastard Kokabiel...?

"Yes." The two of them said with serious eyes.

"I have the same view as Irina, but if it's possible I don't want to die."

"...You came here to Japan prepared to die? The belief in your teaching is extreme like always."

"Don't talk ill of our beliefs, Rias Gremory. Right, Xenovia?"

"Right. Also the Church decided that it would be better to eliminate all of the Excaliburs rather than letting them get used by the fallen-angels. Our minimum objective is to get the Excaliburs away from the fallen-angels. To accomplish that, it's okay for us to die. The only way to fight against the Excaliburs are Excaliburs."

The church is almost like a cult at this point... Full of fanatics like these two.

"Is it possible with only the two of you?"

"Well, we won't die in vain."

Xenovia said fearlessly to Rias' question.

"You seem confident. Do you have a secret weapon?"

"Maybe. I will leave it to your imagination." Xenovia said not giving out any information.

Rias then offered them some tea and snacks. To which they declined and prepared to go on their way. However it seemed this two idiots really like to mess around poking the hornets nest in the Devil's territory.

"When I saw you in Hyoudou Issei's house I thought that maybe it was you. Are you the "Witch" Asia Argento? I never expected to meet you in a place like this."

Xenovia said. Asia's body shook after she was called "Witch". That word is something painful to Asia. Irina seemed like she noticed as well and stared at Asia.

"Are you the rumored "witch"? The former holy-maiden? You are said to have the power that can also heal devils and fallen angels, right? I heard that you were sent somewhere after getting exiled, but I never thought you became a devil."

"...Ummmmm...I...I...…"

Seeing this both me and Raina had cold eyes and prepare to intervene should the situation change.

Asia didn't know how to react to Irina and Xenovia.

"It's okay. I won't tell the higher ups what I saw here, so rest assured. People who were around the "Holy-maiden Asia" will also get shocked as well."

"......…"

Asia made a perplexed expression at Irina's words.

"But to become a devil. The one who was called a "Holy-maiden". You fell to the lowest place you could. Do you still believe in our God?"

As he heard them continue to berate Asia, Issei had a dark expression. Clearly being angered by these two.

"Xenovia. There's no way that she, who became a devil, still believes in God."

Shidou Irina said it with an amazed face.

"No, I can smell the "belief" from her. It might be an abstract way of saying it. But I'm sensitive to these things. There are people who betray the teachings and still have guilt within them because they couldn't forget the teachings. I can feel something similar coming from her."

Xenovia said it with sharp eyes and Irina stared at Asia even more with interested eyes.

Hearing that, Xenovia took her sword out from the cloth and pointed it at Asia.

"Is that so. Then you should be cut down by us this instant. If it's now, I can cut you in the name of God. Even if you have sinned, our God will forgive you."

Seeing this we decided to intervene. I materialized some golden ripples in the air with various swords aiming at them. Raina also materialized the [Astral Codex] as rings appeared on her fingers.

Issei blocked the approaching Xenovia intending to protect Asia.

"Dont you think thats going to far?" I said with a cold expression.

The other girl Irina also unsheathed her sword and prepared to fight.

"Don't touch her."

Issei said clearly to Xenovia.

"If you come close to Asia, I won't forgive you. You called Asia a "Witch" didn't you?"

"Yes I have. Right now she is a being at least fit to be called a "Witch"."

Hearing that Issei's anger arose. Me and Raina as well was angered by that statement. Rias and the others also was staring at them with cold eyes.

"Don't fuck around! Not even a single person helped her when she needed help! Those who can't understand Asia's kindness are a bunch of idiots! It's also wrong that none of them tried to become her friend!"

"Do you think the "Holy-maiden" needed friends? What's important is the charity to others. The "Holy-maidens" are finished when they seek friendship and love from others. She could have continued to live with the love from God. So Asia Argento didn't have the right to be a "Holy-maiden"

from the beginning."

"So you guys selfishly made her into a "Holy-maiden" and abandon her because she's different from those who seek her? That's fucked up! It fuckin is!" Issei yelled out extremely pissed.

"God loved her. If nothing happened then it means that she didn't believe in him enough, or her belief was fake."

Are the people in the Church all like this? Was Asia living among these guys? Don't screw around... Don't screw around."

"What are you to Asia?"

"Family. Friend. Comrade. That's why I will help Asia. I will protect Asia! If you try to lay a hand on her, I will turn all of you into my enemies."

Xenovia sharpened her eyes at Issei's provocation.

"Is that a declaration to us...all of those in the Church? Something big coming out from a single devil. Gremory. I think you didn't educate him enough?"

"Ise, sto..." Rias and Asia is trying to stop Issei who is extremely furious.

"Nice declaration Issei." I said towards him.

"Just trash from the church isnt worth much. If you need help I'll back you up." I said with a cold smile towards the exorcists.

Unlike my anger towards Fallen Angels which lessened my hatred towards Exorcists is still there. What these two said towards Asia also cannot be forgiven. Raina is especially mad as she considers Asia as a disciple since she did train her.

Hearing me insult the church the two were clearly angered.

"What did you say?!"

"I said that those from the church are trash..." I said once more emphasizing the last word.

" God wont forgive your blasphemy towards the church."

"How interesting, I also dont forgive them."

I then turned to Yuuto-kun who nodded.

"Then how about this. Me and Yuuto-kun will be your opponent." I said with a cold smile.
