Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
Zaorama's body shook as he heard the screams from his men. He didn't know what happened, but he was in no place to investigate. Although he managed to escape from that monster, he knew unless he was in the presence of all the Satans, he would never be safe.
One might ask why he was so sure of this and why the four Satans would even protect him. Well, the answer is politics.
No matter how much the Old Satan and New Satan factions fight with each other, they won't show any of their disagreements publicly. After all, they have a face to keep. This is also why many clan heads, despite having many connections to the Old Satan faction, can run free.
With the devil council as their backer, the Satans couldn't make a move on them unless they had some hard, solid evidence of their crimes. However, if they provide some benefits, the culprits could potentially escape punishment.
"Oh, there you are." A voice that sent shivers down his spine spoke from behind. Before he knew it, he found himself completely immobilized, wrapped in chains.
Zaorama tried his best to get out using various kinds of methods, but he couldn't even move an inch.
Left with nothing but despair, he tried to bargain or even beg for forgiveness, but Roxanne had already wasted enough time dealing with him, so she swiftly dragged him inside her imaginary space where Ciel would torture the necessary information out of him.
"Bye bye. " Roxanne waved her hands as she smiled mischievously at the man who is going to enjoy the 120 torture techniques Ciel recently invented.
"Now then, let's go meet those kitties! " Roxanne mumbled as she unfolded her wings and flew away, leaving the battlefield where only dead devils who were crucified with sacred weapons remained.

~ Back to the Present ~
"Back then you quietly slipped away before I arrived, so most of us were worried about you. Thankfully, I managed to keep track of your movements". Roxanne spoke as Kuroka continued to lower her head.
"You know you were really foolish back then. If your mother hadn't left you any training manuals before she died, you would have been killed because of your weak strength. Roxanne admonished her, "After all, no matter how high your potential was, if you didn't have enough strength to protect yourself, it would be meaningless." If Kuroka didn't have a high fate, she would have lost her life or would have gotten herself captured before she could reach adulthood.
Being a wanted criminal is a serious matter. No matter how corrupt the devil society is, they have worldwide connections. If you make a mistake, the devil's forces will quickly surround you.
Kuroka didn't refute anything Roxanne said, as she was telling the truth. She was too young back then and was very emotional and naive.
"Sigh, anyway, let's stop this for now; after all, it's Big Sister Magari who is waiting to have the talk with you," Roxanne said, making Kuroka tremble.
'Oh, I might be dead,' Kuroka thought with a shallow smile. Although she didn't spend much time with Magair, she knew how perfectly scary she can get when she is angry. In a matter of seconds, her anger led her to slaughter 50 devils.
"Okay, now that the introductions are over, let's get to the matter at hand. Arthur, if you would… " Roxanne looked at Arthur, who was still carrying Asia.
"Ah yes. Arthur hurriedly gave Asia to Roxanne. The previous conversation Roxanne had with Kuroka distracted him. He was surprised to learn that the cast girl had such a rich past. It seems the world is full of surprises.
Roxanne took Asia from Arthur's hands and tapped her forehead with her fingers. The full-body suit that was on Asia's body began to change as it slowly dissolved into a purple tattoo on her left hand. After glowing for a while, it began to fade away.
This tattoo is Roxanne's latest invention. This is a rune-type armor that would allow the user to change into their body armor immediately. It was also due to this armor that Asia managed to survive in the dimensional gap.
This bodysuit boasts numerous additional functions that would leave many in awe. It can adjust the temperature to an optimized level and is super comfy. It can also block a full attack from an Ultimate class without even taking any damage. And what's more, this bodysuit is very stylish.
'As expected of me, only I can create such masterpieces,' Roxanne thought as she patted her huge ego. Thankfully, Asia began to show signs of awakening, or else her ego would have broken through the atmosphere.
"Roxanne," Asia inquired, as the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Roxanne's smiling face.
"Hey there, sleeping beauty; you sure gave us a very hard time, huh? " Roxanne said jokingly.
Asia blinked her eyes innocently. And when the memories of what happened came back to her, she quickly got up and looked around. "Issei, where is Issei?" she inquired, recalling her presence beside her during the dimensional gap.
"Calm down, Asia. Issei is relatively safe, " Roxanne said as she tried to calm her down.
"Huh? " Asia tilted her head in confusion. What does relatively safe mean? Even Vali and his companions had dark faces when they heard that word. If beating one to the ground while restraining him like a monster is considered relatively safe, what would safe mean?
Just as Asia was about to ask another question, she suddenly heard a low growl. Turning back, she saw Issei, who was still in his Juggernaut form.
"Issei. " Asia instantly recognized Issei. She attempted to sprint towards him, but Roxanne grabbed her hand instead.
"Wait, Asia, you can't go to him yet." There's something you need to hear first," Roxanne said, her expression serious.
"Asia Issei is currently not in his right mind. His mind is currently being bombarded with negative emotions by the malice left by the previous wielders. So I want you to enter his mindscape and help him regain control. " Roxanne spoke as she removed two daggers from her imaginary space.
These daggers possess a unique ability to link the minds of their victims. With this, I will be able to let you inside Issei's mind. When you go inside, you should be able to get him back to his usual self. Can you do it, Asia? " Roxanne asked as she looked at Asia.
"Yes, I will help Issei Kun, " Asia said with determination.
"Good, I wish you the best luck, " Roxanne said as, in a swift motion, she stabbed Asia with one dagger and threw the other straight towards Issei's head. Despite the armor, the dagger penetrated his skull perfectly.
