(Well I, Harem-Fan, who only puts my stories on Scribble-Hub, and never on Web-Novel=(stolen, cough), am trying to continue this story. I do have to watch the stress on my eyes, but just let me try, thanks.)

Chapter 73: Irina Shidou's Heart Is Broken? by Harem-Fan

     "My very first friend... Reiji. (she confused it with Ray G) He told me he would attend Kuoh Academy this time. He is a foreign student that was passing by back then, and he gave me this ruby necklace and my plushy I sleep with.."

     Xenovia looked at the picture of two children playing on a Dance Dance Revolution game, and the 5 year old redheaded boy looked like he was in tears for being beaten by the little Irina. (the tears were from the cross on her neck, cough)

     Xenovia said in her innocent but blunt tone.

     "What kind of friend were you, he is clearly suffering under your joy of beating him?"

     Irina pouted and stuck out her tongue. She puffed out her now well developed chest, and defended herself.

     "No, he was a sore loser, haha. He really beat me at everything but that game. Well, we are almost at the school to talk to the Devil Territory Lord, Ray Gremory. I heard he was the little brother of the Devil King Lucifer... He must be a really scary guy. Oh God, please give me the strength to deal with this wicked Devil, ~amen!"

     My new wife Sona and I had returned very early this morning to make it in time for Monday's school-day. I have a feeling that if the butterflies have not reached Europe, both Irina Shidou and Xenovia Quarta should be here this week, maybe?

     Both Sona and I had arrived at school straight from our honeymoon, by the summoning circle in my ORC club-room. So I said to her,

     "Well, Sona... Do you want me to walk you to the front gates, or are you going somewhere else?"

     Sona looks at the time, and sees we made it early, so she nodded to me, and said with a smile.

     "I have been gone a couple of days, so I better check in on my peerage up front, plus I think your girls are wanting to see you there as well, right?"

     Sona, with the charm of a married woman, had pushed up her glasses and teased me. So I say while holding her hand for a bit, till we leave the occult clubhouse.

     Yeah, especially Akeno, she likes her cheating mistress role, sigh.

-

     Speak of the Devil, and...

     Just as the two of us walked out of the old schoolhouse, I heard her voice...

     "Ara Ara, If it is not the Prince of Kuoh and the Student Council President, sneaking into school together, what a scandal, fufu~!"

     Sona, seeing Akeno, Tsubaki, and Kuisha waiting at the door, just smiles and says to Akeno.

     "Sorry to keep him so long, but to be fair, Ray and I waited a long time for this. Well, I can part with him till the weekend, so I will go ahead and let you three catch up."

     Kuisha gave me a fast hug and kiss, then told Sona.

     "No, I am good now, let me walk to the gate with you, I want details, fufu."

     So we watched Kuisha take the blushing Sona off to the front-gate. Then Tsubaki told me.

     "Glad you are back Ray, it felt like 6 months without you."

     I gave both Tsubaki and Akeno their hugs and kisses, then I asked her seriously, as the three of us also walked to the front of the school..

     "Any news about the last two Exorcists, are they here yet?"

     Tsubaki showed me her smartphone picture, and told me.

     "The swords woman Asia saved had met the two Exorcists this morning at the airport, and after talking for a bit, the older woman flew back to the Vatican, while the two young women were making their way into Kuoh Town, and it is estimated that the two are heading here."

     Yeah, looking at the picture, it is Irena and Xenovia for sure, sigh. I wonder how my meeting with Irina will go.

     As we near the front, I asked.

     "Any news on Kiba?"

     Tsubaki shook her head while pushing up her glasses.

     "None, but nothing bad as well, so I imagine he is still looking for Freed still. Freed is probably staying low after I cut off his arm again. So what do you want us to do now?"

     I shrug and tell the two black-haired women.

     "For now, just stop contracts and watch the streets. Be extra safe, and expect the unexpected. Within a week, it will get chaotic around here, then I will call my brother. Alright girls, go to class, and I will be there in a bit."

     Akeno squeezed my ass with a grin, and pulled Tsubaki along with her, and I only shook my head at her. She seems really happy after we made love.

     I then walked to the front gate...

-

     Outside of the school-gate, Aika Kiryuu was talking with another girl from her class about some good karaoke she recently found, when two strangely dressed girls in white cloaks came up to her.

     "Excuse me, my name is Irina Shidou, and I used to live in this town. You would not happen to be Aika Kiryuu, would you? I think I met you in elementary school with a boy named Issei Hyoudou?"

     Pondering, Aika remembered a twin tailed little girl in a dress, and nodded to her, saying.

     "Yeah, pervert Issei is in my class here at Kuoh Academy. I kinda remember you."

     Irina seeing all the uniformed students entering, and the uniformes of these two girls are wearing makes her more confident she found the right place, so Irina pulled out her old picture, and asked.

     "Do you know this foreign student named Reiji? He should be about 18 now."

     Aika saw the hair color and eyes, and said questioningly...

     "We do have a boy of 18 with crimson hair and those eyes, and I know him, but... His name is not Reiji, but Ray Gremory. Maybe you misheard him saying Ray G?"

     Xenovia and Irina hearing the name Ray Gremory stiffened, for that was who they came here to meet. But Irina cannot believe the name of her friend, so she asks.

     "Are you sure there is not another boy by that name here?"

     Aika happen to see Issei, Saji, Asia, and Ray all near the front gate, and she pointed.

     "Ah, Speak of the Devil, there is Issei and Ray. You are looking for both of them, right? Is that the guy you are looking for?"

     Irina andXenovia felt the Devil auras coming from those students, and Irina's pupils contracted seeing the crimson haired boy laughing with his friends. Then the boy called Ray, felt her gaze and turned his head to look at her...

     Irina clearly saw Ray Gremory's eyes open wide at seeing her, denying her last hope that the boy in the picture and the Devil of this territory are not the same.

     And when the Devil gave her that same warm smile, Irina's heart broke...

-

     By the time I made it to the front gate, I seemed to have already missed Shirone. Well, I do see my two pawns with Issei coming to school, so I shall look in on them.

     Saji standing next to Asia waves and says in a good mood.

     "Good to see you back, Club President Ray, haha. How was your honeymoon?"

     Asia also warmly waved to me as her King. And Issei dropped to his knees in defeat.

     "Saji, it was very nice. Marrying my two childhood friends is good in my heart, and hello Asia, you are looking happy. And Issei, what the hell are you doing on your knees?"

     Issei, who is about to cry, says in depression.

     "Ah! Damn it all to hell, now you're my King's husband, I have to be nice to you now, sniff sniff sniff. Now, I will have to call you... Harem Brother!"

     I smile at this clown and tell him.

     "Nah, nothing will change. The only difference with me and Sona now is we are official. Sona and I were just always one step away from lovers. So I do not mind you being the same as before. Besides, Tomoe would be sad if you stopped, and who would Sona paddle if you were not around?"

     Issei leaps up and his hands block his ass, while he looks around with his paddle PTSD. As I smiled at his actions, I felt someone glaring at me? So I turn in the direction I feel it...

     My eyes opened wide when I saw her. I can tell she recognizes me, and I am sure her heart is confused, and betrayed. So I only smile at her, and wave.

     Normally I would care about Xenovia, due to liking her character from the anime, but seeing my first human friend really touches me.

     "Saji, Asia, and Issei, go to school now... I need to meet those two, and I do not want unnecessary drama with the Church, so go, it is an order."

     I rarely give orders, so Saji took Asia's hand seriously and said to Issei.

     "Issei, we need to go now..."

     Issei felt the mood and left with them, and I walked to the two Exorcists with a smile on my face. I noticed that Xenovia followed Asia's back recognizing her, but Irina was frozen, watching me come closer.

     I stop 5 feet in front of the two, and Aika looks at me, and I say nicely.

     "Kiryuu, can I please talk to these two girls alone, thanks."

     Aika with a gossipy heart, pulled the other girl away and smiled at me with a thumbs up. As they left, I said warmly to Irina.

     "It has been a long time, Irina Shidou. And hello Xenovia Quarta, the wielder of Durandal. And I see you two brought Mimic and Destruction with you, sigh. Let us go into my Club where we can talk... You came to find me, right?"

     "Why Ray?"

     Irina with tears in her eyes, only asked a small statement, but it had thousands of emotions and meanings, so I kept it simple.

     "It is how God made me. I had no choice in my birth."

     I wait for Irina, and so does Xenovia, who is examining my behavior, for knowing about them and her Durandal.

     Irina took off her pendant with the ruby, and tossed it to me, with a slight sadness. She said with watery eyes.

     "You said it was your's and I was holding it for you on loan, well, you have it back now."

     I really did not expect that to hurt. I feel like I am being broken up with, like in my human life, and she is saying goodbye. A sad tear fell.

     Xenovia said with interest.

     "Why would a Devil shed a tear?"

     I do not get angry with her, because I know she has emotional problems, but I say in a calm voice...

     "Xenovia, the day you hurt a friend without meaning it, you will understand. Now, both of you follow me to the back. I don't want to show all of the students a scene of me breaking Irina's heart, sigh..."

     Irina and Xenovia both followed me, and I took them around the back, and not through the main gate.

     Both Sona and Kuisha found out about the meeting and me going to the ORC room, so with Tsubaki in tow, the three also made their way.

     As I leisurely stroll with them, I asked.

     "Irina, is your mother still doing alright?"

     "Why would you care about her? Did you know who I was back then, is that why you approached me?"

     I look into her hurt eyes as we get near the schoolhouse.

     "You were the first human I made friends with, and I was only 5 years old. My sister-in-law was meeting a friend, and I wanted to play. I met a lonely girl, and wanted to have fun. Irina for you, I wish I was human, but... Sigh... I only came back to Kuoh to see you again, otherwise, I wanted to avoid the place of right and wrong."

Xenovia asked in curiosity.

     "Why is this a place of right and wrong?"

     I smile at her realizing that no matter what I say, she will disagree, so I Just simplify it...

     "Because terrorist elements who want the world to burn are trying to start the three way war again. And Kuoh is their stage."

     By this time, as we made it to my room, I could tell the three women are ready for us, so I push open the door, and invite the two in.

-

     Sitting on the left couch with the two Exorcists across, I have Kuisha on my left, and Sona on my right. Tsubaki served tea and cookies.

     I start off the talk, because I know what will happen here. Well, mostly.

     "The Church wants you to recover the stolen swords they sent here, and you guys want the Devils to stay out of it, I understand. And officially, we will stay out of it. We will not help the Fallen or Church in the struggle..."

     Xenovia, who has been the main speaker, asked.

     "You said officially, what do you mean Ray Gremory?"

     "Kokabiel, Valper Galilei, Freed, Raynare, Mittelt, and Kalawarna... All of these are only the enemies I can confirm, and not the ones who will make surprise visits. Not only will you fail your mission, but you will contribute the Mimic and or Destruction to their Excalibur forming project. They are using those swords to reignite the 3 way war of the Fallen, Devils, and Heaven."

     I sip my tea, then continue.

     "Naturally, it is impossible for me to let you two die in my territory. Because if you die, I will be sad."

     Sona asks me.

     "Ray, you know these two? And you guys know Ray?"

     Irina showed the picture and explained our meeting, and Kuisha and Sona looked at me funny, while Tsubaki had a look that said... As expected of my Ray.

     After some more perfunctory talks, we started to end it. Basically Xenovia and Irina want free ability to move.

     As the two were about to leave, Kiba came into the room, and said to me and Sona.

     "Sona, and Ray, I think I found where Freed is hiding, but there are Devils protecting the area. I think it might be the Diodora Astaroth peerage?"

     Oh? I guess canon is really dead now?!
