What the hell did she mean by that? Help her fix what?

""What?""

Kurousagi and I both said the same thing at the same time, making Vera laugh. Suddenly she pulled out her spear and took a stance. She even used her black transformation.

"...Did they request you to capture me? If so, I will fight back."

Her power was slowly building, and she was staring daggers at us. If looks could kill, then the way she was looking at us, we'd be dead ten times over. Vera frantically waved her arms in front of her.

"No, no, no, no!! While I do want to drag you back into our own home, I... I requested the help of the Middleman to help fix your problem!"

She turns around to me and gave me a pleading look.

"Right? ~"

"...Yeah."

I wouldn't need to resort to such a roundabout way if I had been invited by them. However, since Kurousagi and Vera are my current ticket in there, I'll play along. However, Kurousagi didn't relax.

"So, servant of Ra, care to elaborate on why you ran away? Vera here hasn't exactly told us."

"..."

After a full minute, Kurousagi undid her transformation and put away her spear. She glares at Vera who pretended to whistle while looking away. She then turns her attention to me.

"What do you know?"

I tell her of what Vera told us just a few minutes earlier, and she falls silent during my explanation. When I said the mentally weak part, she scowled, but didn't say anything.

"What Vera failed to tell you is once you are chosen as the servant of that God, you will inevitably marry the other servant that's the servant of the other God. In other words, I, who is a servant of Ra, will marry the male who is assigned to God Osiris."

Kurousagi scoffed and had a look of pure hatred.

"I don't have shallow feelings or reasons for my escape. I detest that fellow. The one who was assigned to Osiris, he is scum that shouldn't be allowed to live. But in our race, the Moon rabbits, males are genetically superior."

"So, even if I try to rebel against the 'arranged' marriage, he is ten times stronger than I am. Even in my [Alternate War God] form. All of the Moon rabbits have this ability, however, only a few ever reach the 'black' form. It's been rumored that we may have something else above it, but no one has reached it."

I see, so, another arranged marriage, huh? First Rias, then Kiyome Abe, and now Kurousagi? I mean... I already have Rose as mine, so I doubt Odin and all of them will try to set her up in a fake arrange marriage, so I can rule that out...

"Can't you just—"

"No."

I try to say, but she interrupts me and continues.

"Trying to back away from it is heavily looked down upon. Although Ra is against me getting married to him since he knows about my reasons, and... Tch. I told Ra what kind of scum he is..."

"What about Osiris? What is his opinion?"

"Ra and I have approached him, and he understands, is sympathetic, AND supports me... Our race is insistent. The current 'leader' of our race is that scumbags' parents who are in favor of the marriage, and in turn so are the rest of them."
