Chapitre 88: Chapter 87 R-18+
The closer they got, the more nervous she got.
(Scene Skip)
Sona and her group arrived just outside of the barrier in a small clearing that had forests around them but they weren't alone.
Irina and Xenovia were talking with a blonde girl that Sona wasn't familiar with.
"What was my brother thinking letting you two get through" the girl said angrily.
Sona wasn't familiar with the girl but Raynare was.
"What the fuck are you doing here Le Fay?" Raynare said angrily.
Le Fay saw the girls behind her and was not happy, "Oh just great! Raynare brought the devils too? Does nobody listen" the now named Le Fay cursed.
"That's besides the point. If you're here that means Valerie's involved and that means she's inside with Issei." Raynare deadpanned.
"That's right and you guys shouldn't be here." Le Fay said angrily.
"What's going on Le Fay. You clearly know something but you won't tell us." Irina asked nervously.
She knew the younger Pendragon also through Arthur and they were good friends.
"My job was to make the barrier for the fight and that's that. I don't know why Valerie and that guy want to fight Kokabiel alone but they do and you're not getting through." Le Fay frowned.
"That's enough Le Fay. You can't fight all these guys alone." a sultry voice spoke up.
"That's right. So how about we help you." a male voice added with a chuckle. As the two new figures approached Sona's eyes widened yet again.
"You're Kuroka" Sona gasped.
The woman was beautiful young lady who appeared to be in her early 20s with long black hair with split bangs, and hazel-gold eyes with cat-like pupils.
She wore a black kimono with a red interior that was open so a pair of massive breasts that rivaled those of Rias and Akeno were on full display along with a yellow obi, a set of golden beads and an ornate headband.
Despite all of that, her most notable feature was the black cat ears and black tail she was also sporting.
"Wait a minute. You're talking about the S-Rank Stray Devil Kuroka who killed her master." Ravel frowned.
"Yes that's right." Sona said with gritted teeth.
"Don't forget about lil old me." The guy said with a smile.
He was a young man with short black hair who wore ancient Chinese armor.
"Fuck, Bikou and Kuroka are here. This just got ugly." Raynare cursed to Sona's shock.
'It can't be. Why is a powerful Stray Devil like Kuroka here and how does Raynare know her?' Sona thought to herself.
"That's right Raynare so if you and your friends know what's good for you, you'll give up now." Bikou smiled.
"That's right go home and relax and let the two dragons handle this." Kuroka added
Sona was furious but she needed answers as much as anything, "Why are you blocking us." Sona asked trying to figure this out.
"We honestly don't know. Lady Valerie called us and asked us to help so we did." Bikou shrugged.
"That's right. What she wants she gets." Kuroka smiled.
Sona froze because this was getting complicated. However a solution came in a surprising source, "How about this. What if Irina and Xenovia leave and the rest of us stay and help with the barrier. Containing all that power must be difficult and our group specializes in that." Momo spoke up as everyone stared at her.
"Seriously Momo! Why would you suggest that?" Irina exclaimed clearly angry at Momo's suggestion.
"Shut up and think for a second Irina. Issei isn't the type to do rash actions like this on his own and the only explanation I can think of is something that involves you." Momo said coldly causing Irina to freeze.
"What did you just say?" Xenovia said angrily coming to the defense of her partner.
Momo turned towards Xenovia with a hateful glare in her face, "You're Irina's partner so I don't know how much you know about Issei, but I do and that means I know a few things about him and the way he thinks. Kokabiel was going to face us tomorrow and we knew where he would be and when. Instead of waiting for that time, Issei decided to attack Kokabiel out of the blue and do so alone, which is reckless. If you know Issei, you know he doesn't do reckless… EVER. Every move Issei makes is calculated to a nauseating degree. The only reason I can possibly think of that Issei would act so rashly and fight Kokabiel alone would be that he doesn't want your partner finding out something." Momo said bitterly.
Everyone turned towards Irina curious about her response but her eyes said it all. "See Irina, you know that I'm right. For some reason that none of us know, Issei is risking his life against a cadre. If you go in there now you ignore that completely."
Irina froze for a bit unsure of what to say but Bikou spoke up, "The idiot will be fine. Valerie might be a pain in the ass, but she likes lover boy enough to save his ass if things get too freaky." Bikou chuckled causing multiple twitches from the girls.
"Of course she does." Raynare groaned.
"So why don't we all just go home and relax." Kuroka smiled.
Sona froze but realized that this situation was getting troublesome, "The three of us are good with barriers so we can help hold up the barrier while Issei and Valerie fight. The rest of our group will go home provided we get answers later." Sona spoke diplomatically.
"I agree with that" Ravel frowned with Xuelan nodding her approval.
"Works for me." Raynare smiled with Mittelt and Kalawarner nodding their approval. The only ones left was Irina and Xenovia.
"Fine. We'll leave." Irina frowned. She didn't like it, but that was the right move.
"But Irina." Xenovia said nervously.
Irina turned towards her partner and smiled, "As long as we get the news from Issei it'll be fine. We got what we needed anyway." Irina smiled referring to the blades.
"Right" Xenovia frowned and the two girls left the area.
Once the two girls were gone, Sona breathed a sigh of relief for various reasons.
She had questions also but fortunately for her the person who could answer them wasn't far away, "You can stop hiding now Issei. I know you're there or at least a clone of yours is." Sona smiled as she turned to the left in an area hidden from view.
"I can't believe you figured it out so easily." Issei smiled as he walked out in his casual outfit.
