The sun shone down on Kuoh as Xenovia made her way to the Hyoudou residence. Irina tagged along with her for moral support, Xenovia hadn't really dealt with one of her closest friends turning into a devil before, so this was a new experience for her.

Upon finding the house, they saw that Y/n was in the forge in the backyard. Irina walked ahead of Xenovia and called out to the phoenix.

Irina: "Y/n! Hey!"

Y/n turned to look at them, however his gaze turned cold as he saw Xenovia. He turned his attention back to the glowing cylindrical piece of steel right in front of him.

Y/n: "D'you two need something?"

Irina: "Xenovia?"

Xenovia swallowed her pride before walking up to Y/n. She had no idea how to really apologise, so she went in for a hug. However, Y/n pushed her away in a panic.

Y/n: "Fucking glowing hot steel rod here, Nova. Fuckin' wait til I put it down for fucks sake."

With a sigh, Y/n placed the steel onto the anvil and Xenovia went in for another hug. Y/n was slightly confused until he saw Irina smiling.

Y/n: "You're here to apologise for yesterday?"

Xenovia: "... Yes."

Y/n: "What the hell did Griselda do to you, Xenovia? You and I both had the conversation that we'd still be friends even if I became unholy. Technically that hasn't changed since I've always been unholy."

Irina: "Yeah, must've been hard finding out the king of hell is your dad."

Y/n: "It was a bit confusing at first. But dad and I are practically the same person in different bodies."

Xenovia: "That's a rather scary thought."

Y/n: "Shush, you."

Xenovia laughed lightly before Y/n pulled away to temper the steel he was working with.

Irina: "Whatcha makin'?"

Y/n: "I'm making Sigmar's hammer. It's actually proving to be really fun so far. The hammer head's over there if you want to have a look."

Irina walked over and saw the ornate steel hammer head painted gold. Next to it were some other pieces of metal.

Irina: "Where are you even getting the material for this stuff?"

Y/n: "Nerolyth."

Xenovia: "Nerolyth?"

Nerolyth: "That'd be me. I'm one of Y/n's sacred gears. Silver dragon empress of creation."

Xenovia watched as Y/n formed the handle of the hammer until they were brought out of their thoughts by the sound of wings flapping above them.

Looking up, they saw Uriel landing not too far away.

Xenovia: "L- Lady Uriel!"

Uriel: "Hello, Xenovia."

Y/n: "Sup, Aunt Uriel."

Uriel froze in place for a second after he said that. Clearly she wasn't used to being called someone's aunt.

Irina: "You okay, Lady Uriel?"

Uriel: "Fine, just... Need to get used to hearing that is all."

Y/n chuckled as he dipped the steel into a large barrel of water.

Y/n: "So what's up, Uriel? Y'need somethin'?"

Uriel: "Yes actually. I need your help locating some rogue priests. They've been highly active in the area and I believe we'll have a better chance of finding them with you accompanying us."
