Next day.

Kuoh Academy.

Today was Sunday and therefore there was no school. But this morning you can find me and Asia walking down the halls of Kuoh Academy, on my way to the student council office.

But even though the school was off, I was called by Sona to go to the student council office. She said someone wanted to meet me and Asia.

I wore my typical outfit, a long-sleeved white T-shirt and jeans along with black sneakers, but the most striking thing is a gold bracelet I have on my left hand along with a small silver necklace with a sapphire in her right hand and a gold necklace with rubies around her neck.

Asia beside me was wearing her usual nun outfit. I didn't know why, but it seemed like she liked this outfit a lot, probably because it made her feel comfortable and since we were going to find someone with ties to the devils, it was better if we showed them that Asia really was a nun.

"Gilgamesh-san?" Asia called me and put me out of her head.

"Is this the office?" She pointed to the door that held "Student Council Office" and I nodded.

"Yes, let's go inside." I told her and we knocked on the door.

Shortly thereafter, the door opened and revealed Tsubaki Shinra, Sona's queen.

"Ah, Gilgamesh-san, you are already here. You also brought Argento-san, please come in."

She opened the door fully and waved her hand. We nodded and Asia gave her a smiling greeting, to which she responded in kind. So we entered the office.

When we entered the office, my eyes immediately sought out the foreign figure and I found it instantly. Sona was sitting on a couch and on the other side was a young man, probably my age and Sona's. He had dark hair and wore expensive clothes.

Devil

Another devil...

I could smell and taste the aura he radiated, along with the magical energy he possessed. He was a devil... And, seeing his appearance, it was clear that he was also a high-class, full-blooded devil.

He gave me a familiar feeling, and it wasn't a good familiar, but one that made me want to kill him now.

But I held back.

The way he looked at Asia.

I really didn't like it.

"Ah, Gilgamesh-kun, you have arrived." Sona greeted me as Asia and I walked forward, standing in front of her and that devil.

"This is someone who wanted to meet you..." She gestured with her hand.

"I can introduce myself from here, thank you Sitri-san." He said politely and Sona nodded, her face stoic. The male devil rose, his eyes closed as he smiled.

"Asia Argento... We finally met" He spoke in a gentle and gentle tone.

"H-uh?" Asia shows a confused look, she was clearly confused by what he had said.

The black-haired devil's smile darkened a little, as if he were disappointed.

"So you forgot me. We met back then." He spoke in a bitter tone and suddenly revealed his chest and showed a big scar there. It was a deep scar. Asia's eyes widened when she saw this while mine narrowed.

That guy...

"That wound, could it be..." Asia gasped softly.

"Yes, my face couldn't be seen back then, but I'm the devil from that moment on."

There was no doubt, seeing Asia's wordless reaction now and her words confirmed my guess. This guy was the devil that had been healed by Asia, this... creature. This creature was the source of Asia's misery.

It was damn Diodora Astaroth.

"My name is Diodora Astaroth, the heir of the Astaroth clan. And I am the devil who was saved thanks to his Sacred Gear" He said with a gentlemanly smile. He then took Asia's hand and kissed her in a prince-like way.

"Asia, I came to meet you. I've been looking for you since your exile, to thank you properly. Asia, I want you to be my wife. I love you."

Dozens of Swords flashed through my mind at that instant to kill him.

To anyone watching it was clear that Asia is distraught by Diodora's sudden statement. Even Sona looked surprised.

Me? I was about to pull Excalibur and a dozen more holy swords to kill him right there, that guy was pissing me off.

But I didn't, killing a Pureblood Devil who is still Ajuka Beelzebub's brother won't be good.

Not for me. I honestly didn't mind causing a war with the Devil Faction.

But if they found out about my connection to the Angel Faction they could accuse them of wanting a war, and I don't want to involve Michael and Gabriel in this.

"And wife?" asks Asia in shock.

"Yes wife." Diodora said with a smile before tilting her head.

"Hmm, maybe that wasn't the right order. Forgive me Asia, I was too early. How about we start a relationship first?" He asked.

"H-uh?"

"I will ask my colleagues to take your belongings and take them to my property in the underworld. In fact, this is the fate of Asia, to think that I would find you again like this. Shall we go now?"

"W-what? B-but-" Asia stuttered as she looked at me, she clearly felt uncomfortable and was silently asking for help.

I was more than happy to oblige.

"Diodora Astaroth." I interrupted their conversation when I took a step forward and pulled Asia back protectively. The black haired devil turned to me and his eyes that had been closed by her smile opened a little.

"I don't know if you're stupid or what, but do you think Asia is some kind of doll?" I asked with furrowed brows.

"You must be Gilgamesh." Diodora said, the smile still on her face. "I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean."

"Oh, you really are stupid then." I commented slyly and I could see his smile darkening at that, and his eyebrow twitched too. "Let's say you're a girl and then you save someone and the person you save is a prince and he wants to take you to the castle and marry you. Do you accept?" I asked.

Diodora's smiling expression was gone and his eyes also opened a little, it was clear he was starting to get annoyed. As far as I cared, his angry face was pleasant to me.

"This is a bunch of bullshit that only happens in fairy tales, you idiot. This is the real world. Do you think Asia wants to go with you like this?" I continued as I walked away and faced Asia. The girl looked at me happily but was hiding behind her nervousness.

Asia was too kind for its own good and that wasn't always a good thing, especially in the supernatural world. For example, what happened to her was also because of her own kindness. Even ignoring the state of God, she should have known that, no matter what, she shouldn't have healed Diodora in the past, seeing as he was a devil and he was in Church territory.
