"I'll fix it!" the blonde girl said, a small chalice appearing in her hand as she covered my wound with her other hand.

A pure, white glow shone from under her hand. A moment later, she pulled her hand away and the marks were gone.

That was…Sephiroth Graal was absolutely broken.

Once more being reminded why I'd risked so much and planned an assault out ten days in advance to free this girl, I said, "Would you–"

"Yes." she interrupted me. "Uh…" she stuttered, her expression turning apologetic as she realized she'd interrupted me. "I mean, um, sir, if you would–"

"Breathe. Take a few seconds to relax." I said, amused at her response.

She took a deep breath and let it out. She looked between Clarissa and Yubelluna, then fixed me with a determined gaze. "I want to join your peerage."

The mutation bishop I received from Seekvaira appeared in my hand. I held it up and said, "Are you sure? There's no undoing this."

The girl nodded sharply, her lips in a firm line. "You all freed me. I'll never be able to repay you, but I can do my best."

Holding her gaze for a moment to make sure she understood the gravity of this event, I was pleased to see she didn't flinch.

I gently pressed my mutation bishop into her chest, causing her to gasp.

Two bat-shaped wings exploded out of her back as the piece disappeared beneath her flesh. She looked up at us with a wide smile on her face.

"I didn't introduce myself, did I? My name is Valerie Tepes. I'm looking forward to being part of the family!"

I opened my mouth to reply, but I was attacked before I got the chance.

"Flaming Chicken-chan!" a scantily-clad magical girl said as she appeared out of nowhere and tackled me to the floor, snuggling up against me like I was her teddy bear. "I've missed you!"

"Levi-tan," I began, doing my best to maintain my calm. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

Serafall rolled on top of me then sat up, straddling me. "I'm just here to tell you how good a job you did!

Ajuka hasn't come out of his lab since he got that thing you brought back from the Fallen. Speaking of the Fallen!"

Serafall said, leaping to her feet with her finger pointed to the sky.

She opened her mouth to say something when she saw a slack-jawed Valerie out of the corner of her eye.

"Who are you?" Serafall asked in a curious manner, appearing directly in front of the dhampir-turned-devil.

Valerie shrieked, leaping back from the half-naked Satan.

"Levi-tan, meet Valerie Tepes, my newest bishop." I said as I climbed to my feet and straightened out my clothes. "Valerie, meet Serafall Leviathan, Satan of foreign affairs. She's our boss."

Valerie's eyes widened and she hastily entered a bow directed at the Leviathan. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Lady Leviathan."

Serafall leaned down and pinched Valerie's cheeks, pulling them this way and that. "You're so cute! Where did Flaming Chicken-chan find you?"

Valerie's arms flailed as the Satan manhandled her, her eyes looking pleadingly at me.

"Levi-tan, I just reincarnated her. Please give her a minute to get her bearings." I said, gently placing a hand on Serafall's arm in an attempt to free my bishop.

"You just reincarnated her? What a fun coincidence!" Serafall said, jumping up and clapping.

"What sort of coincidence?"

"Oh, nothing specific. On an entirely unrelated note, you need to come with me! I'mstealingyourkingbye!"

Serafall finished rapidly over her shoulder to my peerage, dragging me along behind her as she sped through my home, yanking me to a jarring stop in the house's attached dungeon.

I would have been worried about Valerie, but I caught a glimpse of Yubelluna moving to help her before my vision became one big, blurry smear. My queen would take care of her. I had more pressing concerns.

"Levi-tan, why did you bring me to the dungeon? Why does this house even have a dungeon? I thought it was your vacation home."

"What? Magical girls aren't allowed to get up to some kinky fun when they're taking breaks from saving the world?" Serafall said all too seriously. I was suddenly regretting asking the question.

"Levi-tan, why are we in the dungeon?"

"Oh, that's just because I needed to shove her somewhere while I waited for you to get back." Serafall said absentmindedly, pulling open the door to one of the cells. There was a figure in it who most certainly was not there when I was home last.

"Why is she here?" I asked, taking in the frightened appearance of the blue-haired Fallen I'd captured in Kuoh Town. She was pressed up against the back corner of the cell, her clothes torn in places and her eyes moist as if she'd been crying.

"Well," Serafall lazily began as she leaned against the doorframe of the cell. "She sang like a canary.

Apparently Kokabiel told her and her friends they were operating under Azazel's orders.

When I contacted Azazel and asked why he was operating in our borders, he said he'd ordered no such thing and basically told me I could do whatever I wanted with her because she'd gone rogue.

Then he made a bunch of boring promises about ferreting out corruption and all that, but it essentially boils down to the fact that our little crow here has no friends left." Serafall turned to the Fallen and said, "Do you, Kalawarner?"

"I don't see what this has to do with me." I said, trying to gently prod Serafall back on topic.

"Right. Well, the long and short of it is I get to do whatever I want with her, but I don't really have anything to do with her, so I'd probably end up killing her."

The Fallen in the cell flinched.

"So then I thought," Serafall continued, completely ignoring the Fallen. "You were the one who captured her, Flaming Chicken-chan. You should be the one to decide what happens to her.

You could kill her, reincarnate her, kick her to the curb and grab some popcorn to watch while the Grigori's headhunters come after her. Your options are limitless."
