2 Days Later, 

Alleyway, Kuoh Town, 9:30 AM

2 days have passed since the Issei's clash against Venelana Gremory, where she almost died by his hands. Mari was walking home from the grocery store. She needed to get some food for the two guests that are going to visit her place. She knew that Xenovia and Irina had no place to go due to Irina's bad money management skills and on the fact that she spent all of their savings on a painting, a fucking painting. 

"That foolish idiot! What were the church thinking giving her the entire money, and why didn't Xenovia think of stopping her?!" Mari spoke with anger in her tone, she remembered those two found begging near the streets which was found by Issei's mother who asked the two girls to settle down in her house. When they heard what had really happened and why did they not have any money. Miki felt pity for the girls. 

Mari, on the other hand, felt annoyance, she remembered Irina's terrible money management skills from their childhood since she used to babysit the two when they were young. She used to handle any money that Irina would be allowed to spend since she would just recklessly spent it on some toys that are way to expensive. Although she did so for Issei as well, since she was the older one amongst the three. She still cared for Irina, despite her foolishness. 

"Well, I should be getting home, those two must be starving.." Mari spoke with a sigh, she still cared for Irina regardless, seeing her as a little sister as well. 

However, just as she was about to escape, a magic circle was found underneath her legs. She exclaimed in response

"What the-!?" Mari widened her eyes when she recognised the magic circle, it belonged closely to the Gremory Family, but the symbol was different. She tried to escape but the circle quickly teleported her to an unknown location. 

When the teleportation ended, Mari was in a separate location, she looked around, it was a mansion which was only lit by a few candles. It seemed too dark for her likings. 

"I am glad you could be found, Miss Hyoudou.." Mari felt a chill upon hearing the voice, she knew who exactly it was, and slowly turned around to see Sirzechs sipping from a cup of coffee. The Oldest Hyoudou was on guard, she did not trust anyone from the Gremory Family, especially since one of them had the guts to harm her parents. 

"What do you want?" Mari had both her Sacred Gears ready, which are Innovate Clear and Telos Karma. Sirzechs wasn't fazed, he knew that Mari will pose a challenge, but even she wouldn't be able to beat him. However, Sirzechs didn't intend to harm her in any manner, not only he doesn't want to, but also he is not foolish enough to provoke Issei knowing full well what he did to Rias and later Venelana. 

"I just want to talk..that's all.."   Mari turned around and spoke, 

"So talk, Lucifer.." Sirzechs kept his coffee down and spoke seriously, "Yeah, I wanted to talk about your brother. He has created quite the mark in my family. He almost killed Rias's entire peerage and even my mother..." 

"And he could have Lucifer, you know full well Issei hates them.." Sirzechs was able to control his anger and other emotions due to his experience as a Leader. Sirzechs sighed and spoke
