Chapter 400: To the Devil Realm?

—

Irina and Xenovia both worked for the church, as far as Neji could remember.

Due to the Fallen Angel, Kokabiel, coming to Kuoh City earlier than cannon, these two were here early too. They were here to hunt down Kokabiel, planning to claim the three pieces of Excalibur that Kokabiel reportedly possessed.

Asia never reaching the Church probably also played a role in their early arrival. Even if it didn't, Neji was sure that they at least knew about her missing status.

"Who are these two, Saintess?"

As the two girls approached, they looked at Neji and Sisty; Irina spoke with a frown. Like what usually happened, she assumed Neji was a normal human, along with Sisty.

"How bothersome. We were thinking that you got killed or kidnapped by one of the enemy factions, but what is this? You are hiding with humans?"

Xenovia sounded irritated, the bustier girl with blue hair that had a green steak amidst them. Asia kept hiding behind Neji, meek as she hesitated to say anything, and Neji didn't like her tone.

"Can I help you two with anything?"

Neji spoke for the first time, deciding to end this fast. The two girls looked at him, away from Asia, as Xenovia went to speak. Irina stopped her, sighing, and spoke in a tone much gentler than what her friend would have used.

"I doubt you know her identity, mister. She is a... nun. A Saintess, someone with magical powers. She was supposed to reach a nearby church run by Fallen Angels, but the Holy Church learned about her since she never reached her destination. It's a coincidence we met her like this, and we are here to take her away."

So that's how it was? Asia was with the Fallen Angel faction until recently, and these two were from the Holy faction. If this was the cannon timeline, it would have been wonderful for Asia to go with them, albeit hypocritical on their side since they were the ones who banished Asia, to begin with.

Whatever the case, it didn't matter. In this world where God was him, Asia was better off by his side than with these two.

"Irina... you do realize, he would think we are crazy, right? As a normal person, the concepts of magic and angels are foreign to him."

While Xenovia whispered words to Irina, making the girl flinch in stupid, the two of them began to have a conversation that made Neji scowl. Amateurs?

He looked at them once more, but this time with Jōgan. The two girls flinched as they noticed the change in his sclera, putting their guards up.

"Ah..."

"Are you sure he's a civilian?"

Neji looked them over and was speechless. What was that empty box they were carrying under their robes? From the few coins and cash in there... they were begging? No, seriously, they looked to have been begging until recently

For once, Neji decided to use one of the abilities he had gained when he had released Gilgamesh's seal. [Sha Naqba Imuru], The Omniscient Omnipotent Star, that allowed him to peek at the past, present, and future. It could also help in chess, but he hadn't used it against Sona.

With it, he targeted Xenovia – since he could only target one person – and looked at her recent past. As it turns out, indeed she had been begging on the streets of Japan because she and her partner didn't have money, and they were starving.
