Tales of the Ruin Princess

Chapter 29: Down memory lane.

It's been about 2 days since issei's fight with sairaorg. After the fight, issei and sairaorg wrote out the fight in the celestial record closely. After writing it out, Issei realized that he had few weeks left. A few hours later, issei managed to get Rias, Kiba, Irina, Xenovia, and akeno to meet him in the leefside square. 

"So what's up?" Rias asked

"I'm feeling a bit nostalgic. I want to go back to where everything started back when the two of us just met." Issei explained

"Back at the ruins in the forest near Everbell?" Irina wondered

"Yep." Issei answered with zest.

"Come to think of it, we didn't get a chance to look at those, since a certain someone chased after a certain lady." Xenovia realized

"Yeah, but if he didn't do that, we would have never gotten to where we were today. I mean we went to Lunaris, Wrathe, the Sloyia capital city and and a bunch of other places. This journey is really something. It would be nice to bring back nostalgia." Kiba agreed

"We met at that mountain pass, so it couldn't hurt to revisit that place again." Akeno agreed

"Expedition? Count me in." Someone said

"Ah!" Issei, Kiba, Akeno, Irina and Xenovia yelped

They group up and turn around seeing dezel.

"You are much worse than magilou!" Akeno panicked

"Yeah! Don't do that again or i swear i'll kill you!" Xenovia threatened while panicking

"Heh, sorry. I couldn't resist." Dezel apologized mischievously

"Well, let's get going. The journey to those ruins and back is about 2 weeks." Rias suggested

"Yeah." Dezel agrees

"That reminds me. Hey Raynare, since i'm going to disappear in a few weeks, you might want to find someone else to be your vessel." Issei remembered and suggested to raynare.

He gets no response

"Raynare? Hey! You in there!?" Issei wondered agitated

"Sorry." She apologized

She separates from rias.

"Since i heard that you're going to disappear in a few weeks, i separated from you, dissolved out pact and made a new one with rias." Raynare explained

"Well that clears that up." Irina said

"What about dezel? He didn't form a pact with anyone." Kiba wondered

"I formed a pact with Asia. Since i constantly protect her, i figured it would he a good idea to for one with her. That way we can communicate with each other and so i can enter her body at will." Dezel clarified

"Well, now that the pacts are out of the way, let's get going." Irina suggested

"Right." They all agreed.

"Wait... what about the wedding prep?" Issei wondered worried

"Everything it pretty much done, we can have the wedding as soon as we get back or when you two want too." Irina clarified.

"Okay, good to know." Issei said assured

So after clearing somethings up, they all made their back to the ruins where Issei and rias first met. While heading there, they reached the town where rias confessed to issei.

"Hey, issei? Is this the place where you almost died?" Irina asked

"Yep." Issei answered uneasily
