Eight calm and peaceful hours, this being the time that Koneko had slept on Vicer's lap, not like VIcer would complain about it. Koneko slowly opened her eyes and sat up, letting out a small yawn before looking at Vicer, her cheeks were slightly blushing 

"had a good nap Koneko?" 

Koneko: "yes....thank you"

Vicer nodded as he stood up, he slowly cracked his shoulder before Koenko stood up and lightly pulled on Vicer's shirt to get his attention

Koneko: "I wanna do that again" 

"of course, my door shall always open to you" 

Koneko: "good...." 

Koneko let go of Vicer's shirt and looked away, Vicer on the other hand lightly rubbed her head one last time before leaving to head back to his house, as he left the ORC building he realized how much time had genuinely passed as it was almost pitch black out. along the way home he came across a bridge and decided to take the minute to look out, he noticed two people he recognized sitting by the water fishing, Issei and Azazel, he made his way over 

"Seems you two are getting along well, better not have any dumb ideas old crow"

Azazel: "Ah Vicer! what a pleasant surprise, come join us" 

Azazel pulled over another seat for Vicer, as Vicer sat down he noticed that Issei was lost in thought, his head low, like he was trying to figure out a life problem, he let a small sigh before speaking

Issei: "I can't believe someone Iv known since a kid is now a follower of the church, I'm not looking forward to tomorrow" 

"so, Irina dis stop by your place then" 

Issei looked up at Vicer and nodded before it slowly sank in and his face turned to pure confusion

Issei: "wait, you know Irina already?" 

"mhm, I was the one that met them before they came into town"  

Issei: "huh...she did say 'Sir Watcher' a lot when she was over" 

Azazel: "It's unusual to see a devil so worked up, isn't it?" 

Issei looked over at Azazel, who had a big smile on his face 

"and now words of wisdom from the crow" 

Azazel: "this is a good one, I promise! Things in this world usually turn out the way you want them to, stressing about the future is a waste of time, wait it out a bit and things will change" 

"That was a good one, who knew the old crow could give some helpful advice" 

Azazel let out a small laugh as Issei took a minute to think about it, Vicer slowly placed a hand on Issei's shoulder and gave him a small smile 

"everything will work out just fine my friend, I'll be there to keep the situation from getting out of hand" 

Issei: "thanks VIcer, and uh thanks for helping with Riser, I owe you one" 

"Don't worry about it Issei, I would have left it up to you but he insulted my brothers, I was not about to let that pass" 

Issei: "your sword sure is cool, would it be possible for me to get a sword like that?" 

"im sure it's possible, but it probably won't be a holy sword like mine or Irina's but who knows" 

Azazel: "who knows, maybe you'll get a sword with a big-breasted spirit" 

Vicer slowly turns to look at Azazel, with a look of disappointment plastered on his face, Azazel starts to laugh while Issei got this giant smile on his face. the night went on with the three of them going their separate ways. Vicer was left to walk the path to his home in silence as he placed his hands behind his back and lightly sighed before thinking aloud 

"Everything seems more...peaceful at night, then again, this generation is more peaceful than when I was alive" 

as he came to his house, everything was quiet and calm which was expected. he entered and closed the door behind him and turned around, seeing Irina standing there with a smile on her face

Irina: "welcome back Sir Watcher, how did the talk with the devils go?" 

"It went well, you're meeting will be tomorrow, just at sundown" 

Irina: "perfect, thank you dearly, Sir Watcher, oh I went and visited Issei while you were away, he's grown up so much" 

"he's a pervert, but I'm sure I can break that habit, even if it's just a little bit" 

Irina: "such a shame, a good boy turned sinner, ill have to bring him back to the light of god if it's the last thing I do!" 

Irina slammed her fist into her hand as she had a look of determination on her face, it was somewhat cute to see her get like this 

"I wish to break him out of his perverted mould at least somewhat break him out, he has so much potential locked behind that desire of his"

Irina: "then we are in an agreement then" 

"oh and fair warning for the meeting tomorrow, don't try anything, you're a guest in devil territory which means any acts of aggression could cause a war" 

Irina nodded her head before quickly going upstairs, leaving Vicer alone to himself. He slowly went and sat down on the couch, he took out a small amulet with a wolf engraved on it, gently running his thumb over the wolf as he thought to himself

'I wish you were here with me old friend...I need your wisdom more than ever '

???: "you are the only sane one left Sir Watcher, seek the darkroot basin, an old friend remembers you, but do you remember them I wonder"

Vicer lifted his head and looked around the room for that voice, but no one was there, that voice sounded so familiar to Vicer but he couldn't remember where he heard it before 

"an old friend remembers?" 

Vicer put the amulet away and slowly laid down, it was about time he got a bit of rest, not like it would do much since he was undead but it was nice to pretend. as he slowly drifted to sleep, a small white cat somehow got inside and laid on top of him, he was already too far into going to sleep to figure out why a cat was here so he just forgot about it
