A toothy grin appeared on the shinobi's face. There was hope for the guy yet.
"Keep up Issei."
As the pair ran off to aid a young girl in need, a pair of eyes noticed them leave the academy grounds. More specifically, the person noticed the determined expression that was on Naruto's face...an expression she only saw once.
"...Naruto?"
Naruto figured out pretty quickly that Issei couldn't keep up. So the shinobi was holding Issei by having his left arm around his shoulders so that they could move faster. Before they could get to the abandoned church though...they had to make a pit-stop.
He landed in front of his house and dropped Issei on the floor unceremoniously, the teen was kissing the ground since they were roof-hopping. Naruto ignored him and quickly entered his house in order to grab his weapons pouch...they might be useful. After grabbing them, he immediately left the house and locked the door before placing the pouch on his belt.
"Alright Issei, time to go. We got to save your princess like badass knights with orange armor." Naruto said with a completely serious face, Issei just wondered if he made a terrible mistake asking the blond for help. He couldn't stop to think on it since Naruto grabbed him again and started jumping on the roofs again, he just hoped he could hold his lunch.
Raynare was staring at Kuoh Town from the sky.
Ever since the incident with the nun yesterday, she has been staying away from the abandoned church like it was infested with plague. For some reason she couldn't stay in there without feeling a little sick. But more importantly...
She couldn't look at the nun in the eye anymore.
The ceremony would had already begun and would end in the evening. The sun was already disappearing.
The nun's life would go along with it.
She shook her head of the thought, she was letting the human get to her. Her mother would be ashamed that she was even thinking about this. This was reality, this was what she was prepared to do to earn her mother's care again. She told herself that she would do whatever was necessary...right?
So why was she hesitating now?
The young fallen sighed and moved to get back to the church.
Then paused.
This feeling...she remembered this feeling.
She felt it only twice in her short life, both times rather recently as a matter of fact.
The same feeling that she warned Kalawarner-nee about...!
It was heading this way.
"Oh...oh..."
It was getting closer.
"Ohhhhhh..."
...
"SHIT!" Raynare cursed as she scrambled to get back to the church and warn her mother about the impending danger.
If it was that human as she feared, then her mother needed to be notified immediately!
She sped off to the church while flaring her light energy so that she would alert her fellow fallen angels, the second she touched down in front of the church she was met face-to-face with her mother.
"What the hell do you think you're doing child!? This isn't the time for..."
"He's here! Another powerful human is here! The same as last time! Okaa-sama please believe me!" Raynare pleaded with her mother before bowing. Vretiel just frowned at this as she tried to make sense of her daughter's words.
Before she froze.
"Impossible...how can there be two...? Are you positive Raynare? No mistake? You will be punished if you are wasting my time." Vretiel growled, if this human was as powerful as the last one then she would need to see to this personally.
Now of all times too...!
"Yes okaa-sama! Absolutely positive!" Raynare said with certainty.
Vretiel just cursed before turning back to the church where a small group of fallen have approached to see what was going on.
"Fallen! We have an intruder heading here at any moment! Join with me so that we could give them a proper greeting!" Vretiel shouted. This caused an eruption of cheers to break out among her followers as many spread their wings to take flight. She spread her own wings and turned back to Raynare.
"Raynare, I need you to go back inside and finish the ceremony. I have managed to scale down the time needed for it's completion, now you and your former guardians just need to keep the energy consumption steady. It should only take two hours now, we will deal with the intruder...don't mess this up." Vretiel said seriously, she would be damned if her daughter screwed up at such a critical juncture.
"O-Of course okaa-sama!" Raynare said with only a minor stutter, before seeing all of the fallen present fly into the sky to prep for their intruder.
'...Be careful okaa-sama.' Raynare mentally hoped, as she went inside the church to help her friends finish the ritual. She had mixed feelings about all of this, but she would do as her mother commanded, she always did.
