Devilwatch: The False Messiah (Highschool DxD x Cardfight Vanguard)

Love After Another

<RedJoker Mansion, RedJoker's Office>

RedJoker: So according to the data that I got from the Will crew regarding Hel's current state, it appears that the seed of the void has fused with her soul.

We see the entire Phantoms standing in front of RedJoker's desk, RedJoker places his arms on top of his desk and look at everyone with a serious face.

RedJoker: I believe everyone is aware of the possibility that Gyze can be resurrected through the Death Queen, no?

Everyone: *nods* ...

RedJoker: *nod as well* Good. -Considering we are still recovering from the Quatre Knight incident, we currently have Hel locked away in the Forgotten Prison. As of today, Will address that the chances of Gyze's resurrection are still low considering Hel has just come to her senses. Also, we received decks that were used by the Quatre Knights from Gabriel. *sigh* Haa... I honestly thought that the void stuff is a one-time thing but I guess that anything can just repeat itself again and again. *looks at Ragouel* Rao.

Ragouel: Hmm?

RedJoker: How is Rise-Chan doing?

Ragouel: She's doing fine. I've checked in with Ri-Chan and found that she is slowly recovering from the side effects of the seed of the void. She also informed me that Rise-Chan's soul also got fused with the seed of the void just like Hel.

RedJoker: ...How bad is her condition so far?

Ragouel: Her condition is Neutral.

RedJoker: *relieved* Phew... That's good to hear. *leans back* Well, this past week sure has been a roller coaster. I feel like a need a two-month break from this stressful job.

Ragouel: 😅Hehe...

Rachell: *steps forward* Pardon me father, but can I ask something that has been bothering me for a while? This is regarding about Ikuto Kuromaki's sudden disappearance. What are we going to do about the Wolf of Destruction?

RedJoker: *sit straight up* About Fenrir, we currently have no clue where he is right now. The only thing that we know is that he is out there plotting something. I don't know what he's up to this time, but for now, we'll just have to wait and be prepared for his possible incoming attack.

Everyone: *nod* Right.

RedJoker: All right, meeting dismiss.

Everyone, minus Sharl, exits the room leaving RedJoker and Sharl in the room. RedJoker turns around and get out of his chair, he walked up to the window and blankly stares at the outside view.

RedJoker: This job sure isn't as easy over time, but luckily I am an immortal being who can't die very easily. 😞I just wish I can take a break for a long decade instead of dealing with this stuff. Not to mention, *looks at Sharl* I haven't spent any time with you or Rachell for a while because of this, so I'm sorry.

Sharl: *shakes head* Hmm... -You don't need to apologize, my dear. As your wife, I completely understand your status as the heir of the family and as the leader of the Shadow Breaker. -You don't have to worry about me or Rachell because of your duties, I understand that you are worried but I'm doing just fine on my own-

RedJoker: You don't have to hide it, Sharl.

Sharl: -Huh?

RedJoker: I know you have been lonely and I too as well.
