Emilya's hand slapped down onto her alarm clock blaring its screech into her ear at full blast, so she crushed the blasted device in revenge for disturbing her slumber. The celebration had gone on well into the night, and she hadn't been able to teleport home because she was just too tired. So, she had asked Tsubasa to take her home, saying that it was the gentlewoman's duty to escort their partner home.

She was sure that she passed out as soon as her head had hit the pillow, and didn't spend a second later in the waking world. Not a single thing had disturbed her sleep at all. No dream, no vision of an alter's memories, and no stroll through the Unlimited Blade Works. Just sleep.

Emilya groaned lightly as she rolled onto her side and slowly sat up to rub the sleep out of her eyes. The loli magus glared hatefully at the noise-making contraption that woke her up from her slumber. Its shattered, bright pink frame laid there amongst the electronics that once were inside of it, making it run. All the cutesy stickers stuck to it seemed to have stayed together, avoiding getting torn somehow.

Yet, something didn't sit right with Emilya as she stared at the broken device, when it suddenly hit her, her eyes widening in realization. "That's… not my alarm clock."

Dread quickly flooded her mind as she quickly threw the blanket off of her, only to blush heavily as she realized she was only wearing her panties at the moment. Shaking the embarrassment off, she went to push herself up, only for her left hand to come into contact with something soft and fleshy. Her mind automatically registered it as a breast… she just didn't know whose. It wasn't Camael's since Emilya was certain that hers were bigger and slightly firmer than the one her hand was currently fondling, which also ruled out Mittelt due to her small size. The one she was grasping onto for the moment was maybe a size or two smaller and more supple than the Cadre-class Fallen Angel's breast.

A soft moan came from beside the spot where she once laid asleep, as another figure rose from underneath the blanket, clad in just as much clothing as Emilya. This woman had pink hair as well, but it was a brighter shade than her own, and longer as well. Behind her drooping, sleepy eyelids were cool gray pools that held a sense of wonder and imagination like none other.

As she stretched her arms out over her head, a loud yawn escaped her mouth as she brought her arms back down to rub the sleep out of her eyes. All of this and the stranger had yet to take notice of Emilya still groping one of her breasts. The woman looked over at the loli and sleepily smiled at her as she finally decided to speak during her tired daze. "Morning~."

Her head soon turned to look forward again before it snapped back to where a heavily blushing Emilya was sitting. The stranger's eye began to twitch as she looked down to see that both of them were only in their panties, causing a blush of her own to take over her face. It only increased in redness as she now took notice of the small girl groping her breast, unconsciously now, as she was looking her in the eyes.

A few squeezes later and the two finally reacted to the others presence with an incredibly loud, "KYAAAAA!" Emilya fell backwards off of the bed, her head and back hitting the ground hard while the embarrassed stranger used the blanket to cover her chest with.

Before either of the two could yell at the other who they were, the door to the room was flung open and a familiar blonde stepped in. "Pinkie-chan! Are you ok- Eh, Loli-chan?! Wh-What are you doing in here?!"

The pinkette slowly raised her upper body off the floor with her left arm while rubbing the back of her sore head with her right hand. She looked at the blonde then at the attractive stranger then back to the blonde believing she'd have a better chance of getting an answer from Genevieve than the person she woke up beside.

"That's what I'd like to know, but a better question to ask would be: what are you and, umm…" The pinkette looked at the other woman who still sat on the bed, their blush having finished fading away.

Taking the hint, the pink-haired woman took that moment to introduce herself. "Momo. Momo Momozono. I was offered a room here for the time being by Rokuhane-san, same as Arcana-san here, when the apartment complex I previously lived in got closed down."

Ah, so that's why she looked familiar. Emilya was sure that she had caught glimpses of her a few times entering and exiting the small complex they used to live in. The short silence that followed her introduction ended when the Magus came in with her own. "Emilya von Einzbern. You may call me Emilya. And I'm actually the owner of this house that you and Genevieve-san have found yourselves in."

A flabbergasted expression quickly came upon Momo as she looked at the supposed child and then Genevieve who was only nodding. "Yeah, this place belongs to Loli-chan here, the nameplate out front even had Einzbern etched on it."

The pink-haired quickly waved her hand in distress as she looked at both Emilya and Genevieve. "No no no, I... I saw the nameplate as well, and Rokuhane-san told me who the house belonged to. It's just that…" Her gaze leveled out on the shorter girl which made her realize what she was trying to avoid saying.

"You thought I'd be older?" Right as she said that Momo gained a guilty look as she nodded her head hesitantly. "Yeah, I get that a lot, but in truth I'm actually eighteen."

"That's not it either!" The older woman exclaimed with embarrassment clear on her face. "Rokuhane-san told me about that as well, along with you not looking your age… she just… didn't tell me the extent to how much you didn't look like it."

Genevieve chuckled at that admission while Emilya sighed at the fact Camael told Momo how old she was and that she didn't look her age, but not to what extent. A loud growl soon filled the room causing the two taller girls to blush at the betrayal of their stomachs.

The magus only smiled as she got up from off the floor, her glamour around her scar still in effect, as she walked towards the door of the room. "Why don't you two wash up and I'll start on breakfast, and I'll wash up after everything is done."

With that said, she walked down the hall to where her room should be if the plans she told Camael were correct. Opening the door she couldn't help but hold in a snort at the sight that beheld her. Both Camael and Mittelt were fast asleep on the rather sizable bed, with the latter having a troubled expression as her arms reached out, fingers twitching every now and then. The Cadre, on the other hand, had a peaceful smile on her face, with her arms wrapped tightly around Mittelt and pulling the back of her head into her chest.

Actually, now that the magus got a better look at the room, it was much larger than what she had specified, as was the bed… Camael must have altered a few things without her knowledge, but Emilya didn't mind, as long as the house remained relatively the same as she asked. Moving on though, she quietly tiptoed her way to the drawers and opened it up, revealing her clothes all folded and stacked up neatly. Grabbing a shirt, she quickly threw it on before just as quickly leaving the room as well.

With her modesty moderately covered, Emilya made her way to the much larger kitchen and threw on her apron. "Right then, let's get to work!"

~Line Break~

Breakfast took some time to complete, but it wasn't difficult in the slightest for the pinkette who had upon her face a look of pride. There was always one thing that she would always take pride in, no matter where or who she was, and that was her cooking. She had set four plates out for all the residents minus herself, as she would eat after washing up. Each of the placements had a fillet of fish, a bowl of miso, and some tamagoyaki.

Camael and Mittelt must have woken up sometime during the cooking process, because once she was finished and went to the washroom to inform Genevieve and Momo, the Fallen was the one to open the door in her personal bathrobe. Emilya recalled her cheeks heating up at the sight of the robe barely being wrapped around her before Mittelt's voice knocked her out of it. They had all exited the bath soon after she told them that breakfast was ready… well, Camael, Mittelt and Genevieve did. Momo wasn't quite aware as to why they were clamoring for their things at the mention of breakfast.

Was she in for a shock.

Emilya let out a relieved sigh as she dipped into the still warm waters of the ofuro. She had just finished washing off all the dirt and grime that accumulated on her person from the previous day. She closed her eyes as she recalled her dance with Tsubasa the other night. It was rather… nice. The talk afterwards was rough, but that was more of the fault of Momo showing up and embarrassing the two. Still, the loli never really got her answer as to why the taller girl was smitten with her.

The pinkette just shook her head softly as she sank further into the bath until only the top of her head was showing. 'Another topic for another time,' was the only thing on her mind as she closed her eyes once more… before opening them widely and shooting up from where she sat.

She looked around at the empty void she found herself in, looking down she found herself clothed in a plain white top with a light purple jacket over it alongside a blue skirt and a pair of black leggings. Kanshou and Bakuya found themselves in her hands as she looked around the area warily. Soon after, the expansive blackness vanished to reveal the Unlimited Blade Works, yet there was not a single blade or armament in sight.

Was this a dream? Was Emilya still that fatigued from the night prior that she had dozed off in the ofuro after closing her eyes for the second time? As she scrutinized her surroundings, she could tell that there was a slightly darker tone to her Reality Marble. And that was when she felt it: a dark, oppressive aura was permeating the entirety of the world which made the magus tense up, even if it was a dream.

A shifting beneath her feet caused the loli to quickly look down, only to see the shade covering the Reality Marble was congregating into her shadow. As this was occurring, the dark aura that came with it was also retreating into her shadow, which was beginning to stretch outwards. When the shade and aura seemed to have been completely sucked into her shadow, a pitch black figure began to rise from it.

Kanshou and Bakuya were at the ready if the shadowy figure decided to make a hostile move. A moment passed before the featureless figure began to take on some definition. As it did was when the loli took notice that the shadowy figure began to look eerily familiar.

"That thing looks like… me?" Except it wasn't, as the figure didn't take up the appearance of Emilya von Einzbern, but the likeness of Shirou Emiya. The person that she used to be.

But, this made no sense at all. Why would this thing take on her old appearance? Why would this thing appear within an empty recreation of her Reality Marble? These were only a few of the many questions that were racing through her head as she looked upon this figure approaching her that had taken on her old likeness.

A cold hand was placed on her shoulder, making her stare up into where this shadow's eyes were supposed to be. Emilya noticed something upon the featureless face, as a mouth seemed to be forming upon it, and when it was finished a wheeze of air escaped it. The mouth opened and spoke…

Emilya shot up from her place in the ofuro, her breathing heavy and staggered from what she had just heard. She looked at her shaking hand and clenched it shut, whispering to herself what the shadow clone of Shirou Emiya said. "I am the bone of my sword."

Why? Why would it say that? Now there were several more questions flowing through her mind as she stepped out of the tub. Was it a premonition of worse things to come? Events that could be so catastrophic that she needed to manifest the Unlimited Blade Works? Or was she possibly just overthinking things too much, or was Zelretch just screwing with her again? Yeah, that last one sounded just about right, considering that he was the one who sent her here in the first place...

Besides, even if the prior questions were the case, she didn't even have an aria to unleash her Reality Marble's full power. But, if that shadow was anything to go by… then she already had the first line.

She shook herself out of the thoughts of that strange dream as she quickly began to dry herself off with her towel, wrapping her hair in one afterwards so it could dry. She stepped into the interconnected laundry room to deposit her used towels into their respective bin and began to dress herself. She let out a sigh doing so, before taking a glance at the clock placed there to see that only a few minutes had passed since entering the ofuro.

"Yet, why do I feel like the portion I left for myself is going to be missing when I get out?" She asked herself as she got dressed and patted her hair dry. Her feeling had some value as she was certain that Camael, Mittelt or Genevieve could have eaten it, or even Momo as she was a recent recipient to her cooking as of this morning.

~Line Break~

Her eye was twitching, and she couldn't get it to stop. Thankfully her portion of breakfast wasn't gone, which she was extremely grateful for, but what she arrived at was… very unexpected, to say the least. Momo and Genevieve had left, the former to work and the latter went shopping, leaving Camael, Mittelt, and their unexpected guest in the main sitting room.

"Thank you for allowing me to meet with you." The woman sitting at the table said, performing a slight bow from the seiza she was in. The magus and two Fallen, on the other hand, were looking at the brunette Phenex [Knight] with wary stares.

"It's Karlamine, right?" Emilya asked, still unsure as to why the servant of the man she had indirectly helped Rias and her peerage wipe the floor with was even here. She was certain that it wasn't for the pep talk she gave them all after their loss. So, what could she possibly be here for?

The woman rose from her bow and nodded her head at the pinkette's inquiry. "Yes. I am Karlamine Bridgit of the Phenex Clan, and I have come here to ask you something… that is, if you wish to hear me out?"

Emilya looked at Camael who was just shaking her head and then at Mittelt who just shrugged her shoulders in a 'not my problem' sort of way. The loli's eye twitched at the unhelpful Fallen. She wouldn't be getting choice over dinner for a while. However, that wasn't the problem right now, as she turned back to Karlamine who was looking at her expectantly.

The loli let out a sigh as her head fell into her hands. "Fine, I'll hear out your question."

A look of accomplishment sparkled in her eyes as she said, "Please train-!"

"No." Emilya crossed her arms into an 'X' making Karlamine's head slam into the table from being shot down so fast. Which came back up just as fast as a big red mark began showing signs of forming on her forehead.

"Why not?! You helped train the Gremory [Knight] didn't you? What's so wrong with you training me?" As the Phenex [Knight] said this, she flinched from the deadpan stares coming from Emilya, Camael, and Mittelt.

"You do remember why I helped train Kiba and the others, right? Because they wanted to beat Raiser so that Rias wouldn't be forced to marry him." As the loli, who once was the Wrought Iron Magus, said, each word seemed to be a strike on the brunette [Knight], her head once again finding its place on the table.

"Look, I'd like to help you, I really would, but I do have a life not connected to the supernatural and two residents unaware of it." Karlamine turned her head on its side to look at the pinkette as she continued. "Besides, you have Raiser and the rest of the peerage to help you. Remember, I said that training together will help to strengthen the bonds between all of you, which in turn would help you all grow stronger."

Karlamine quickly looked away from Emilya as the latter had finished speaking, the magus thought that she was embarrassed from being reminded of that. However, Camael caught the look that was on the [Knight]'s face; she was biting her lower lip and her eyes were slightly squinted, she had something to tell.

"Alright, out with it. You came here for something else other than asking for Emi-chan to train you, so what is it and depending on what it is… Well, that's up to Emi-chan to decide."

"Well, it's about Raiser-sama's peerage." She was practically sweating bullets right now. "After you told Maou Lucifer, Lord and Lady Phenex, and Lord and Lady Gremory about how Raiser had the retirement system rigged… there was a rather nasty fallout."

Emilya understood rather quickly what Karlamine was implying. "Since Raiser-san broke the rules, he immediately forfeited the rights to marry Rias."

Karlamine simply nodded, then continued. "And it's not just that. As he knowingly put both Rias' and his own peerage at risk by having the system rigged to not retire any pieces after a certain point, he also lost the right to own a peerage." Camael and Mittelt went bone white at the implication that statement made.

Emilya looked rather befuddled at the expression the two Fallen had made. "What does that mean exactly?"

Camael was rather quick to explain the implications of such a punishment. "In Devil society, it is very shameful when a Pureblood Devil loses their peerage, due to the fact that there's only so many Pureblood Devils remaining. And the fact that he was outed to both his parents and Lucifer only adds to that shame. If it were someone less influential he was outed to, then it would have had less of an impact than it has now."

Camael then turned her gaze back to Karlamine. "But since Raiser is no longer your [King] that title would transfer to and belong to his sister Ravel, right?"

Karlamine simply nodded, confirming that what the Fallen had said was true: That Raiser had indeed lost his rights to own a peerage, and that Raiser's Evil Pieces were given to his sister, Ravel, "Though I must say that while the title was transferred to Ravel-sama a few of us chose to become members of the estate instead. Those being Marion, Burent, Xuelen, Siris and Yubelluna, while the rest of us stayed with Ravel-sama."

Camael had a positively shit-eating grin on her face. "Aw, if only I could have been there to see that. Oh well, the mere knowledge will have to suffice."

At the revelation that Ravel Phenex was now her [King] made Emilya pause. If Raiser was still her [King], she would have denied her request a thousand times due to being with a group that would help her grow. But, now that that title belonged to the Raiser's sister, it changed things significantly… especially since she came here to ask for training and not do so in the Underworld.

Emilya's pause made Camael look at the loli. "What's wrong, Emi-chan?"

Emilya shook her head, "Just thinking, is all." She looked back at Karlamine and said, "If you still were Raiser's piece I wouldn't even bother thinking about your question." Karlamine nodded her head at what Emilya was saying as she continued, "But since you are no longer his piece, it changes things."

Karlamine perked up. "Does that mean…?" Emilya nodded firmly.

"Yes. I am willing to teach you." Before Karlamine could begin to thank her, Emilya raised her hand. "When I have the time to do so. So, don't go thinking that I will just drop everything to train you. And I might even ask Kiba to come over to help in proving a point I am going to make. Mostly because Kiba favors a style similar to your own, whereas I don't. I'm not saying that I can't adapt, simply that I prefer wielding twin blades, whereas you favor a two-handed style, something that I'm rather unsuited for."

Karlamine chuckled at the unintentional jab at the loli's height, which made the loli grumble and curse the Einzberns. 'Damn those Einzberns for causing Illya to remain so short and young-looking. Sure, they made her into a vessel for the Grail with an abominable amount of magic circuits, but did it really have to cost her her height? From what I've seen about that timeline where Illya was a magical girl, she was fairly taller than I am right now. Though I do pity her for getting that Kaleidostick as her partner. Well, at least I won't need to worry about those things.'

If only Fate wasn't such a cold-hearted bitch that adored screwing with the existence of every Shirou Emiya, regardless of their gender, she would have agreed with that statement. Alas, Emilya had no such luck, as she will, rather soon, find out.

~Line break~

In a place unreachable without the use of the Second Magic, Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg was speaking to one of his creations, the Kaleidostick Sapphire. "Okay, listen very carefully, for I shall say this only once. I will be sending you to check on Emilya-chan. Now, while she is a homunculus in body, her soul is that of a version of Shirou Emiya. And given her luck, she probably has a harem of hotties already, especially considering how cute she is now."

Sapphire bobbed up and down as her creator continued, "Normally, I wouldn't normally be sending either you or Ruby to do something like this, but since that punk biker dragon is in the way, I can't see her. So your duty will be to go there and act as a receiver for me to view her misfortune. You may also assist her if she asks you to do so. Of course, if you cause some trouble along the way, you won't find me complaining. Just make sure that I can see what's going on with my toy."

Sapphire, exasperated by her creator, asked, "'Toy', Zelretch-sama? Is Shirou-san not enough of a toy for the Counter Force?"

Zelretch simply grinned at the Kaleidostick. "Not this Shirou. Or Emilya-chan now, I suppose. With that world's mana rich environment, an Einzbern homunculus body and her magecraft she's a one-loli-army." He snorted. "Those stupid magi. They say that Gradation Air is worthless. Being able to reproduce anything on the fly is not worthless, even without being an incarnation of Sword like Shirou."

"It's most likely because the items created by Gradation Air only last temporarily and it takes them time to do it, while for Emilya-san the process is second nature and she can do it in the blink of an eye." The sentient Mystic Code stated, stopping for a bit to see if her creator had anything else to say.

He soon adopted a more serious pose as he spoke again, "Now, unlike our world, the one Emi-chan is in still is in the Age of Gods. Rather literally. As there are Angels and Devils there, alongside other faiths. Odin, Zeus, Yōkai, Fallen Angels and many more. How they manage to get things done over there is a mystery worth studying as long as you don't get bored. If you do, just leave them and let Emilya-chan deal with the rest, who knows maybe she can cook her way out of the mess. Mmmmmm….. Shirou's food….." For once in several months Zelretch looked hungry.

Sapphire turned her 'head' to the side, as if she's confused about his statement, only for him to explain, "Too bad you won't be able to understand why I praise Emilya-chan's food because, despite me not really eating that often, even I can appreciate her cooking. Trust me, even Gilgamesh can't complain about Shirou's cooking, and he's pickier about absolutely everything than I am."

Zelretch shook his head out of his hungry daze, he'll probably pop by an alternate Emiya household to see if he can get something to eat there. But, for now, he had to get Sapphire to the other world. "Now, do you understand what you must do Sapphire?"

"Yes, Zelretch-sama. I am to go to this other world to watch over her actions and the events that transpire around her. And if asked by Emilya-san, I am to assist her in what she asks of me."

"Yes, very good. And a few more things; first, if she ever decides to equip you, you are not to connect her to the Kaleidoscope. She's powerful enough as it is with a body like hers in a world where the Age of Gods is still ongoing. It's fortunate that she's a spellcaster instead of a proper magus, as being in a world overflowing with prana would be a true heaven for those Prides, Brands and Feses at the Clock Tower." The trolly vampire said, chuckling at the thought of how a magus from the Clocktower would react to the density of a world like the one Emilya is in.

He quickly let any previous expression vanish, with a serious sense of self taking its place once again, "Second, you are to not leave her side at all. This order will supersede any and all she ever makes. So if she orders you to stay wherever she's staying, you camouflage yourself and activate your presence erasure function and follow her. Do you understand?"

Sapphire bobbed up and down in understanding, still exasperated at how much her creator wanted to view this Shirou's misfortune. Zelretch smiled mischievously, pulling a postage box out of nowhere filled with packing peanuts. "Great, now get in the box so I can mail you to her."

The Mystic Code sighed in resignation. She really should have expected an outcome like this from her creator. She floated into the mass of the styrofoam material and settled herself in as a card was placed in with her, and the box was closed up soon after.

"I do hope Emilya-san takes my arrival well, I wouldn't wish to inconvenience her in any way." With that said, Sapphire felt the sensation of being transferred across the Kaleidoscope and then the sounds of a running vehicle. The Mystic Code felt the box get picked up and placed down before the vehicle began moving. Ah, so she was literally being mailed to Emilya… Why was her 'father' so eccentric in his ways? She may as well power down for the time being until she gets to wherever Emilya is.

~Line Break~

Emilya sighed as she walked through the house with Karlamine right behind her. It seemed that, if she did accept to train the [Knight], that Ravel gave her permission to stay in the human world. But, it appeared that she rushed things and didn't think to find somewhere to stay first before coming here. So, it would seem that the Devil would be staying with them for the foreseeable future.

She stopped in front of a room and slid it open. The space inside was empty and rather spacious as well. Turning towards Karlamine, she looked up into her eyes before saying, "This will be your room while you're here, so I expect you to take care of it like it's your actual room back at the Phenex manor."

"Hai, Emilya-dono, I will make sure to treat this room with the utmost care as I am merely a guest in your humble abode." Karlamine said in a serious tone; Emilya couldn't help but to sweatdrop at that.

'This girl must be pretty serious about this training if she's this formal, or it may just be her attitude as an actual knight. Either way, that's the first thing that needs to go when I decide to start training her.' She thought to herself, watching as Karlamine put down a sack that was most likely filled with her clothes and belongings she'd be using during her stay.

As she watched her setup the room the way she wanted, the loli noticed that there wasn't a bed in here, and she was certain that there weren't any futons in the house either. She let out a light groan which caught the attention of the Devil who peered up at the sound of distress.

Noticing this Emilya quickly answered before the [Knight] could say anything, "It would seem that we'll have to go out and get you a futon to sleep on. And probably a couple more while we're at it, so put on some normal clothes and wait for me at the gates."

The last thing she saw before sliding the door shut was the brunette nodding her head, sighing to herself once more she walked out onto the engawa overlooking the courtyard. She smiled a little at the slightly familiar setting, while it would never be like her old home it sure was something to get something close to it. As she looked across the yard she noticed the one thing that was important to her: the shed.

Walking over to it she slid the door open to see that it was currently empty except for a workbench with a case of tools on it and a chair set underneath it. She would set this place up as her workshop at a later time, since right now really wasn't the time. She had some futons to buy along with groceries, as the fridge and pantry were a little empty when she made breakfast this morning.

~Line Break~

Genevieve sighed to herself sitting at a table outside of a café with a cup of coffee in front of her. She had just finished having another meeting with Cao Cao about her progress with Emilya. She had been truthful with him in the fact that she wasn't able to spend much time with her recently, especially the past week as she had gone somewhere with the Gremory Devils and the two Fallen.

And even then, she couldn't do much before that either as Emilya was always with either Tatsumi or Kalawarner, if those were even their real names. "Man, I didn't think this assignment would be so hard," she said to herself as she continued thinking about her report with Cao Cao.

Especially the warning he gave her about there possibly being trouble arriving to Kuoh sometime soon. This was due to reports from the Hero Faction spies in the three branches of the Church saying that someone had stolen something important from the headquarters of each branch. And since Genevieve was originally from the Church as well, she had a good idea of what was stolen.

"Muh, why does everything bad happen around here? Is it because of the heiresses? Or just someone's bad luck?" As soon as she had said that a soft sneeze could be heard off to the side. Looking that way to say bless you she saw that it was Emilya, and she appeared to be with someone new.

"Hey, Loli-chan, who's your friend?" The two turned around to see a smiling Genevieve waving them over.

The two found their way over to where the girl was at and took a seat at the table alongside her. "Genevieve-san, this is Karlamine, she's a friend of mine from Europe that came here to study abroad. Karlamine this is Genevieve, she's studying abroad here just like you." The blonde nodded her head in an understanding way as she shook the other girl's hand, even if she already knew that this Karlamine person was a Devil. "By the way, did you find whatever it was you went shopping for? I don't see any bags with you."

Genevieve sighed once more, she had gone shopping after her meeting with Cao Cao had concluded. Sadly she couldn't find what she was looking for in any store. "No, I couldn't find it in any of the stores I looked in, which sucks since it was supposed to be a gift for a friend."

Emilya tilted her head a bit and began to think who it could have been that she was shopping for, and now that she really thought about it… she's never really seen Genevieve hang out with anyone else other than Mittelt and herself.

As she continued to think about who the gift could be for Genevieve turned to Karlamine with a smile, "So, are you going to Kuoh High School, too? Or are you a college student?"

The [Knight] looked taken aback that the human decided to take up a conversation with her, but she should at least try to talk as well. "Y-yes, I'll be entering high school as a third year."

Genevieve nodded her head, smirking mirthfully as she asked something else, "So are you gonna join any clubs? Since Kuoh has a plethora of them in the high school level, and from your build I'd say you'd fit in at the kendo club."

Karlamine's eyes took a shine to them at the mention of a club specialized in Japanese swordplay and nodded her head vigorously. Before she could reply though Emilya seemed to have finally come out of her thoughts, "Right, since we finished up ordering the futons we should head to the store and get some stuff for dinner. Would you like to help us get them, Genevieve-san?"

This time the blonde's eyes sparkled like diamonds at the thought of the loli's cooking, drool slightly dripping from the corner of her mouth. Wiping it away she gave the pinkette a smile, a faint blush covering her cheeks as she twirled a lock of her hair, "O-of course I'll help you! You know I can't say no to you or your cooking!"

Emilya chuckled at the blonde's enthusiasm regarding her cooking causing a light blush to cover her cheeks at the faint noise, while Karlamine was confused about why Genevieve was so eager to go shopping for food. As the three began to head to the store to get what they needed for dinner the Hero Faction member looked at the loli, recalling one final thing Cao Cao had said near the end of their meeting, "When our next meeting comes about bring Emilya von Einzbern with you. It's about time that we all meet and see where she stands among us all."

~Line Break~

Rias arrived at her brother's office in the Underworld the day after the celebration of her victory over Raiser in the Rating Game. Now though? She had a question for him that was bugging her about Emilya ever since Sona said that only Maous were probably the only ones capable of reincarnating her. As she opened the door to Sirzechs' office she caught him in the middle of doing some work.

Looking up from his paperwork he smiled at the sight of his sister as he greeted her, "Hello, Rias, what is it that I can do for you?"

"Onii-sama, I heard that you met with Emi-chan. What was your impression of her?" Sirzechs was slightly surprised that his sister was asking a question like that of him, considering that she was far more familiar with her than he was.

He hummed for a few seconds before answering, "Well, she was rather polite, and frankly quite adorable as well with how worried she was for you being in trouble for her helping you. And she had this rather peculiar air around her. Why do you ask?"

Rias shuffled slightly around before answering, "Well, it's because Sona thought about inviting her to her peerage. However, she found out that only you, Serafall-sama, Ajuka-sama and Fallbium-sama could possibly reincarnate her. So, I was merely wondering what your thoughts were about her."

Sirzechs frowned at this. That sweet little loli he had met during the Rating Game was possibly so powerful that only he, Ajuka, Serafall and Fallbium were probably the only ones capable of reincarnating her? He cupped his chin in thought, "Well, she did have a particularly strange feel around her. As to how powerful she is… I recall that Grayfia said that during your previous meeting with Raiser she had drowned the room with so much mana that all of you had trouble standing." Suddenly, he had an idea. He called his [Queen] for her opinion.

Grayfia, being the ever dutiful wife, appeared quickly at Sirzechs' side. "Dear, my sweet Ria-tan has a problem, and I do believe that your input might be of great value here."

Grayfia raised an eyebrow at her [King] as he continued, "It's about Emilya-chan. Since you were there when she drowned the room in mana during Rias' meeting with Raiser, I believe you would be a better judge of her power than I." Grayfia looked at Rias.

"I understand, Lucifer-sama. I believe that she is quite powerful indeed as I was only just able to counteract it with my own when she unleashed her aura… and, I dare say that she may have been holding back, as disturbing as that sounds." Rias was flabbergasted at the words that the Strongest [Queen] said.

If Emilya-san was holding back, and Grayfia was only just able to counteract that aura of hers, then it's quite likely that Sona was right. That maybe the Maous were the only ones capable of reincarnating her with the amount of power she's capable of showing, not that they'd do it in the first place.

Rias was thinking to herself as she bid her brother and Grayfia goodbye as she left, 'The fact that Emi-chan may have been holding back the amount of aura she emitted is absolutely terrifying. Although it is a little relieving that she doesn't really want to get involved too much in the business between Three Factions." She continued walking for some time before teleporting back to her home in the human world looking around at her packed up belongings. "Now, it's time to move in with Ise-kun!"

I… I did it again. But it was for seven months this time. I am really sorry that it took me this long to update the story, but it is now so all is good for the time being... I hope. All of this stuff going on is just crazy, but I haven't really been affected by it that much, and I hope all of you are keeping safe during these times.

Still, that doesn't give me an excuse as to why I hadn't updated this sooner as I really should have to show I'm alright and nothing bad has happened to me. In truth, it's just been procrastination and just a slight lack of motivation to write. As I did get help from someone in writing this chapter.

Now, not that much has happened other than a new house that is similar to the Emiya household if not slightly larger than the original. Plus three more people now living in said household, and if none of you know who Momo Momozono is that's fine as she's anime exclusive and showed up only in the first episode in season one of DxD.

There is also Sirzechs learning about Sona's thoughts about how only he and the other Maou can probably be the only ones to reincarnate her, which won't happen as she's already OP enough as she is. Then there is also Cao Cao wanting time meet with Emilya as well. Oh, and Sapphire may be coming next chapter, so there's that, too.
