Aftermath

Kiba Yuuto's PoV

After Regina left with the White Dragon Emperor. Everyone was still shocked to learn that Regina is Azazel's Daughter. Akeno-senpai has a complicated face as she can't really hate Regina due to how similar they are.

I have already told them that Regina's late mother was an exorcist so she probably has some ideas.

Issei-kun also can't hate her like other fallen angels as Regina has helped him multiple times and wants to believe she is a good person.

Everyone else also has a complicated face and thinking back on what just happened.

I on the other hand is the most calm as I was already told by her a couple of days ago.

We are currently in the Occult Research Club room. We already separated with Kaichou's peerage and are now discussing what happened.

"Now that I think of it. Yuuto doesn't seem surprised." Said Buchou thinking back on what happened.

"Regina already told me before." I said as I cant really hide this. Its one thing for them to not notice and not ask however I dont want to lie to her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked me with a stern look.

"...its not really my place to say. I wont say much but she has a similar background as Akeno-senpai." I said looking at Akeno-senpai.

Hearing this they were shocked especially Akeno-senpai who quickly pieced together a few things. Everyone was silent after that. They can piece together a few things as most of them already know Akeno-senpai is Barakiel's daughter.

Shortly after the reinforcements came and we told them of the events thay happened. They helped clean the area before returning back to the underworld.

...

Regina's PoV

We have already brought the unconscious Kokabiel back to the Grigori. Currently me and Onii-chan is explaining what happened.

After our explanation Onii-chan left while I stayed as I wanted to discuss something with Father.

"So what do you plan to do? Your peace plans would be harder to do in this case. The idiot caused a rift between us, the Devils and God's Side. By stealing the Excaliburs and attempting to kill the two Demon King's Sisters." I asked him while drinking tea across him from his seat.

"Actually, I allowed Kokabiel to do this." Father replied.

"Why?" Although I knew Father intentionally allowed Kokabiel to roam free, Im still confused why.

"I needed something to allow a situation for talks between the three factions to occur. This incident is a spark towards that goal as all three factions are involved in this."

"Wouldn't this cause the Fallen Angels to be on the disadvantaged side?" I asked him.

"I already sent a message that Kokabiel was acting on his own. The fact that I sent you and Vali should also help convince them to some extent. Freed and Valper Galilei also used to belong to the church so that side is also concerned regarding this as they were exiles from the church."

"You really are a mastermind..." I said with a smile.

"So what do you really want to talk about? I know that this isn't the main thing you wanna ask."

I let out a sigh and just asked him without cutting any corners.

"I heard than Akeno is Uncle Barakiel's daughter." I told him straight.

"..." Hearing my words the smile on his face disappeared as he became melancholic.

He released and sigh and told me the whole story.

Akeno's story was slightly similar to mine and Raina. Uncle Barakiel's wife is called Shuri Himejima a woman from the Himejima Clan. Aunt Shuri saved Uncle and the two fell in love however Aunt Shuri's family thought she was brainwashed or some other ridiculous reason. So they hunted them down along with their child, Akeno.

The three of them lived happily for many years before Father called Uncle Barakiel for a job. While Uncle Barakiel wasn't there the people from the Himejima clan attacked and killed Aunt Shuri. Uncle Barakiel came in time and was able to save Akeno however she hated Uncle for not saving them and for the accursed Fallen Angel Bloodline that caused it. Ever since then Akeno hated Uncle Barakiel and in extension Fallen Angels. Later on she was picked up by Rias and joined her peerage.

"... it was my fault. If only I didn't insist on him coming back that time." Father said with a heavy and sad tone.

"Father, don't you think its a little coincidental that those people from the Himejima Clan happened to arrive just as Uncle Barakiel left?" I told him after hearing the story.

"... of course I did. However we couldn't find any lead where the leak happened. So we gave up, and during that time only a few people knew Barakiel's return."

"People like who?"

"Me, Shemhazai,mostly the leaders..." Finishing that sentence his eyes became wide and looked towards me in shock.

"...is Kokabiel one of those people?" I asked him what he just thought of.

"Yes..." He said finally realising who the traitor was.

"Father, you really need to do a thorough cleaning of your group." I told him. I have already told him of the events that happened before during Asia's rescue and the thing I found inside Reine(Raynare) and that Reine is now under my care.

He didn't mind much as Reine is only a Mid Class Fallen Angel. Well thats not the case now though...

"...at this rate, there might be some who will defect to the Khaos Brigade. Especially since there are other people like Kokabiel who don't agree with peace due to centuries of grievances."

He let out a sigh and agreed with my words and planned to do some cleaning.

"Ah right, you should also propose that the other factiond also participates in the Devil's rating games. Im sure Ajuka Beelzebub can create some pieces that won't turn one into a devil but has the same attributes."

Hearing my suggestion he smiled and nodded.

"Thats a good idea. It will also give them a way to release their frustrations to the other factions other than war."

After discussing a few more things I bid farewell and excited the room. I walked in the halls of Grigori Headquarters and planning to head back when I coincidentally came across Uncle Barakiel.

"Uncle Barakiel. Good Evening. How have you been? I haven't had time to visit lately."

"Regina Hime-sama, Im good how about you? I heard you have been busy and even helped bring back that traitor Kokabiel."

"Uncle I have already told you to just call me Regina. Is there something you need from me?"

"Ah right. There something I wanted to ask of you."

I nodded as we go towards a private room to talk as it seems like a serious topic.
