Author's notes

SOOOOOOO this one's been in the works for a while. If you're reading this on Fanfiction.net, AO3, or the hellscape that is wattpad, then my co-writer has escaped the hell that is real life long enough to review this chapter so I can upload it.

This story will continue to use the AU I've built using the old lore, from before v2.0.2.0.1/The Rise from the Ashes update.

By the way: I released a Provibirb mod on steam. Go check it out and throw Rotten Eggs at her or something.

"So, the time has finally come."

In front of Kuraima were the members of the ORC and a maid that looked suspiciously like Sayuka Izayoi from Touhou.

He was here to see them one last time before their fight with...what was his name again?

Riser? Raiser? Rizer?

Bah, who cares?

"Yeah. I suppose it has." Rias responded to him. "Take care of Sona for me while we're gone." She added, giggling.

"Heh. Don't worry. She'll be in good hands!" The Astral Champion said, deciding to humor her. "I should say the same to you. Take good care of your peerage! Especially Asia. I've yet to show her Deltarune."

The ex-nun tilted her head. "Delta...rune? Like the symbol the bunny lady talked about in the Snowdin shop?"

"Sort of, I guess? It's not a sequel but it uses many of the same characters and mechanics, with slightly darker tones and stuff. But hey! I think you'd still like it!"

"O-Oh! Well, I'll try my best!"

"That's the spirit!"

"Lady Rias, it is time to go." The maid interjected.

"Alright," the redhead nodded, "Is everyone ready?"

She got a collective affirmation from her peerage.

"See ya'll on the other side! Give 'em a real good clobberin'!"

The Astral Champion waved as the magic circle beneath Rias' peerage began to glow, whisking them all away to whatever battleground they were headed to. However, the Sakuya Izayoi look alike still remained, turning around to address the Astral Champion.

"So you're the human friend of my sister-in-law."

"Huh...? Oh. Yeah. I suppose I am. Name's Sensou Kuraima. Everyone just calls me Kuraima- I don't think that's how the cultural naming thing works but I could care less, honestly."

"I see. My name is Grayfia Lucifuge. Young Rias speaks highly of you."


"Heh. Yeah, I guess we're good friends. Her peerage has helped me out quite a bit- or at least Koneko and Asia have. Issei? Well...he's something at least."

"Mhm. I see. Please forgive me for being blunt, but I'm afraid I must cut this conversation short. I have a Rating Game to attend to."

"Same," Kuriama replied, nodding his head, "well, not the Rating Game part, but...yeah. I have things to attend to as well."

"Safe travels, Sensou Kuraima."

She teleported away, leaving the Astral Student alone in the club room.

'Now,' He thought to himself, 'I have a cookout to prepare for.'
