The Esper Devil ( Esper OC X Highschool DxD )

Chapter 40 - Unexpected visit

"What the hell happened?!"

Le Fay yelped seeing her brother and Bikou emerge from the portal created by Caliburn, her eyes glued to what they were carrying, or rather, on who they were carrying

"Who did this to Vali?!"

She places a binded Kuroka down at a mattress and rushes over to the trio

Bikou is the first to speak

"Goddamnit Le Fay, what the hell have you and Kuroka got us into?!"

He scolded the young witch, who quickly retorted angry

"M-me? What did I do?!"

"You shouldn't have gone to Kuoh town in the very first place, we are still wanted terrorists!"

Le Fay went silent and bit her lip at his words, even if the attack hadn't began because they were terrorists, the fact that Kuroka was a wanted youkai didn't helped either.

"That's enough, Bikou. Vali himself asked Le Fay to go with Kuroka because he thought something like this could happen, if she wasn't there Kuroka could have had a much harder time"

Arthur interrupted the discussion in his usual tone, making Bikou back off.

"Onii-san..."

She said in a quiet tone, happy that she was praised, but yet troubled that she still had to rely on her brother so much

"Anyway, what are we doing now?"

Bikou asked throwing his staff over his shoulder while helping Arthur lay Vali down in a mattress next to the black nekoshou

"... I'm going to get in touch with some people, maybe the guys from-"

"We have to go to the Sekyriuutei's house"

 Le Fay interrupted her brother's line of thought and in response received two pairs of astonished eyes staring at her

"W-what did you just said?"

"Are you crazy?!"

Her brother and Bikou asked incredulous

Le Fay gulped down hard and answered firmly

"T-there's no better option now! Look, Vali is beaten to a pulp, he needs someone who can do healing and those bindings on Kuroka aren't normal, okay? I'm not even sure what kind of energy they use, I managed to put her to sleep and ease the pain, but if I try to carelessly remove them Kuroka might really die, you hear me?!"

Her desperate response made both look at each other worried, still Arthur adjusted his glasses and asked, trying to maintain his cool

"And what makes you believe that Rias Gremory's peerage can help us? Healing Vali would be easy with [Twillight Healing], but what makes you think they can help with Kuroka's situation?"

At his question she promptly lifted a finger and answered

"[Dimension Lost] and [Boosted Gear]"

Both frowned at her answer and Arthur questioned

"What?"

Le Fay grasped her staff and replied impatiently

"Mou, don't tell me you don't remember? We don't have time for that! Onii-san, please open the portal to as close as you can to Rias Gremory's home, I'll explain when we are there"

Arthur raised an eyebrown and stared at his sister, he saw the seriousness in her eyes and eventually let out a sigh

"Well, we don't have anything to lose anyway, if we tried to get outside help there was a chance we could get snitched. I'll trust you then, sister"
