Devil Trigger

Chapter 21: Aika's Party

Third Person POV

Raynare: "What do you mean you lost contact with Freed!?"

At the abandoned church that sat on the outskirts of the town of Kuoh, Raynare was currently having a mental breakdown because she had just been informed by one of the priests that they had unfortunately lost contact with Freed.

While Freed was a skilled individual and an incredible asset, but that wasn't the reason why Raynare was upset because personally she could give little to no care about Freed and his well-being.

The priest that informed Raynare took a step back in fear.

Priest: "I-its the truth, Lady Raynare. We've tried contacting him numerous times, but he hasn't picked up."

Raynare gritted her teeth in annoyance; she had given very specific orders to Freed to keep an eye on the former nun that had been sent over to Kuoh; Asia Argento until they finished setting up the ritual that they were going to use to forcibly remove her Sacred Gear from her body.

This was bad, very bad for them because even though their Light Spears could deal significant damage to a Devil; that was pretty much useless right now since the Devils in Kuoh outnumbered them. The priests weren't going to be much help in any fights since the ones that Raynare currently had are only meant to be used for the Ritual.

Plus, the two Devil Heiresses of the town know about their existence; they just haven't decided to come and kill them yet because they don't know if they work for the leader of the Fallen Angels or were on their own. If it were the former, then an attack against them could lead to another war between the Fallen Angels and the Devils.

So Raynare considers herself lucky that the Devils haven't decided to attack them yet, which is why they needed Asia's Sacred Gear.

Raynare: 'Damn it, everything's been set out of place now. God damn it, Freed!'

Priest: "Um, Lady Raynare. What do we do now?"

Raynare glared at the Priest, causing him to flinch a little.

Raynare: "Stick to the plan, get everything ready for the Ritual. One way or another, we will have that Sacred Gear!"

Priest: "Y-yes, Lady Raynare!"

With that, the Priest ran off to tell the others which left Raynare all by herself. The Fallen Angel let out a small sigh of annoyance as she sat down on one of the old church chairs, rubbing her temples as she felt a small headache coming on.

Raynare: "Can this day get any worse..."

???: "You know, you're not meant to say that because it comes true, Raynare."

Raynare internally screamed in anger because she had just jinxed herself; it could get worse. Turning her head over in the direction of the voice, she was greeted by two individuals, both having the same black feathered wings as Raynare herself had.

The first was Kalawarner, who was a tall and buxom woman with brown eyes and long, navy blue hair that obscured her right eye. Her attire consisted of a maroon, trenchcoat-like top with a wide collar, a matching miniskirt, and black heeled shoes. The trenchcoat top was open at her chest, giving view to her breasts and cleavage. She also wore a gold necklace around her neck. She appears to wear a white shirt underneath her top, but it can only be seen from the bottom.
