Chapter Fifteen: Twilight Nun

After their time in the sack Haoyu summoned some water so that they can clean themselves off. When they removed all trace of what happened Haoyu destoryed the barrier around them. Back on the streets the two then went to a family restaurant so they can talk. Seated they waited for a waitress and as they did Haoyu spoke up.

Haoyu: Seeing as we just fought a round in bed I think we are close enough to tell each other our secrets. For example why the hell have there been an increase in fallen activity in the city. Of course you can also example the stray exorcists floating around as well.

Raynare: I see, not surprising that you would notice since we were kinda forced to come here. We are actually fallen angels that are dissatisfied with the way the current leadership acts so we struck out on our own. The truth however we were sent here on order of lord Kokabiel. His goal was to have us cause trouble in devil territory while slowly building up forces. The reason we claim to be doing this on our own is so Gregory could have posable deniability.

Her explanation caused many of Haoyu's confusions from the story to finally be cleared up. After all Raynare never seemed to be the kid of person to strike off on her own no matter what. Even if she was supposedly banished someone as cowardly as her would avoid getting attention yet alone gathering troops. It also explained how the other fallen angels that follow her are so obedient. Regardless that is the least important thing right now. As their conversation went on their food soon arrived with Raynare's being a simple sandwich. Haoyu on the other hand had three whole steaks and two burgers with fries and shakes. A few minutes later the two finished eating and were about to go their sperate ways. Before she could leave Haoyu asked Raynare a final question.

Haoyu: Among those that you have recruited has there been a blonde nun with a healing sacred gear.

Raynare was stunned by Haoyu's question because just recently they had recruited someone that met the description. The nun was recently discommunicated from the church as a heretic because of her sacred gear. Once word of this reached Kokabiel he quickly made arrangements to bring her under Raynare. Of course this plan was to be done without the other factions from noticing. Realizing that it was pointless to lie to him so she told him the truth.

Raynare: Yes, we have recently taken a young girls with healing powers recently but she has not made it to Kuoh city yet. If you are planning on taking her then I beg you to make sure no one knows that I gave you this information.

Sensing her concern Haoyu reach out to wrap his arms around her and started to kiss her gently. This simple action actually helped relax her because it showed just how much she meant to him. At first she somewhat worried that their fun earlier was nothing but a fling. That after everything was over he would toss her aside like a worthless doll.

Haoyu: Don't worry since I am very possessive the moment you became my woman was the moment you became untouchable.

While in his embrace Raynare began to think about the life she lived until now and felt a little disgusted with herself. Before she would often go around inflecting misère on others. Only now did she realize it is because of how insecure she was due to her weakness. Now she had a support in her heart a vow to help however she can was made. Before Raynare left she gave Haoyu a means of communicating if the need ever raised. As he watch Raynare walk away Haoyu could not help but think back to when he first met Asia.

It was back when he had just started middle. Ever since they met Rias would often come by his house to visit and talk about whatever problems she had. The most frequent topics were about her knight and bishop. The gender bent Gaspar who is now Maria is still as shy and nervous as before. Luckily thanks to Haoyu's help she didn't have to get sealed away but still had her problems. Yuuki on the other hand would follow Rias around like a faithful servant. Problem is that Rias hated the idea of Yuuki forcing herself. Hearing Rias's concerns about the matter Haoyu could no longer hold himself back. So he took a trip to Italy to visit the Vatican to see if he can't get Tosca. Once he arrived Haoyu started to look around hoping to stumble across where they hid her. While he was walking around he happened to come across a girl. The girl was surrounded by a group a people while she was on her knees praying. As she did a green light came from her hands healing an hurt dog. Done with the dog she then moved onto the next person in line.

Seeing the large group of people not decrease even after a hour of hard work from the girl. Haoyu could notice that he girl was slowly starting to get beads of sweat form on her forehead. Feed with the event unfolding in front of her Haoyu gave her a hand. Before anyone could understand what was going on everyone that was hurt got covered in a blue light. When the light faded everyone felt so much better and all other their aliments vanished.

Haoyu: Okay people now that you have all been treated by the glory of god you should get going home.

Once Haoyu finished speaking the crowd began to disperse as they discussed the miracle that just happened. Now that the people were gone and he could get closer Haoyu got a clear look at her face. She was more cute than beautiful with a girl next door vibe. Her long golden hair seemed to radiate in the light and a pair of beautiful green eyes. Her cheeks were slightly flushed when she saw Haoyu is a handsome young man. Ever since she became known as the healing Saintes her already limited interactions with men decreased even more. This especially true for talking to boys her age.

Asia: H-h-hello sir my name id Asia is there something I-I-I can do for you or are the new exorcist assigned to protect me.

Haoyu: My name is Qin Haoyu and sorry to tell you but I was not assigned to protect you. In all honest I am not even a member of the church. If you do not mind but could you tell me where I can find the pope.

Having heard Haoyu's words Asia was shocked into silence by how he was acting it was natural to look for the pope. His tone showed how little respect he has for the pope. While she was considering what to do with this disrespectful boy who came from nowhere. Until a Cardel came walking toward the two of them with a welcoming smile on his face.

Cardinal: Good day to you young master Qin I was sent by his excellency Vasco Strada has invited you for a talk.

Nodding his head Haoyu followed behind the cardinal as he waved goodbye to Asia causing her to blush.
