Koneko snapped out of her daze, stepping forward with a mix of relief and disbelief. If Blake hadn’t arrived when he did, she would have been in serious trouble.
"You okay?" Blake asked, his voice calm but edged with lingering concern.
Koneko nodded slightly. "I didn’t expect to see you here…"
"Just out shopping," Blake sighed. "I sensed your presence while passing by, so I came to check. Didn’t expect things to get this messy."
Before Koneko could reply—
"Ahhh!"
A sharp scream cut through the tension.
Both turned to see a blonde girl in a nun’s habit sitting on the ground, clearly shaken. Her wide eyes darted between the scene and a silver-haired little girl standing beside her, completely unfazed.
Blake exhaled. Figures they followed me inside…
Asia, visibly distressed, scrambled to her feet. "W-We need to help him! He’s hurt!" she cried, glancing at the white-haired priest slumped on the ground.
Blake’s expression hardened. "Asia, stay back. He’s not the victim here. He’s responsible for everything that happened here."
Asia hesitated, glancing at the priest—Freed Sellzen—who, despite his injuries, still had a wicked grin.
"Heh," Freed chuckled, his voice laced with mockery. "Isn’t this a sight? A former saintess standing among devils… how disgraceful."
Asia flinched at his words, uncertainty flickering in her eyes.
Blake’s patience wore thin. Without another word, he stepped forward and swiftly incapacitated Freed with a precise strike, ensuring he wouldn’t cause any more trouble.
A notification appeared in Blake’s vision.
Plundered 24 Luck points from Freed Sellzen. Remaining Luck Value: 80. Plunder Chances: 4.
Blake barely acknowledged it, instead focusing on Asia, who was still trembling.
Koneko, unfazed, turned to him. "So… what now?"
Blake ran a hand through his hair. "I’ll explain everything back at the Occult Research Club. Let’s get out of here."

A Meeting at the Occult Research Club
A flash of red light signaled their arrival at the Occult Research Club headquarters.
"Huh? Back already?" Rias looked up from her seat, surprised. Akeno, standing beside her, tilted her head curiously.
Before either could ask, their eyes landed on Blake—along with Asia, who clung nervously to his arm, and Kanna, casually munching on a snack, completely unfazed.
Rias raised a brow. "Okay, I get the nun, but who’s the kid? Blake, did you… bring home a child?"
"Oh my," Akeno chimed in, her tone teasing. "First a beautiful blonde nun, now a silver-haired little girl? Should we be worried?"
Koneko, deadpan, muttered, "Maybe he has a thing for collecting strays."
Blake groaned. "For the last time, I didn’t ‘pick up’ anyone!"
He patted Kanna’s head. "This is Kanna. She’s… well, in a way, my little sister. More accurately, she’s my contracted partner. She’s the Blue-Eyes White Dragon."
Silence.
Then—
"Excuse me?"
Rias, Akeno, and Koneko all stared, dumbfounded. Even Asia blinked in confusion.
"The Blue-Eyes White Dragon?" Rias repeated.
Blake nodded. "Yep."
Akeno placed a hand on her hip, studying Kanna. "That adorable little girl is one of the strongest dragons in existence?"
Kanna simply gave a tiny nod.
Rias sighed, rubbing her temples. "Of course. Of course, you somehow contracted with a dragon. Just another day with Blake."
Blake smirked. "Pretty much."
Rias exhaled. "Alright, we’ll come back to that later. More importantly—Blake, what’s the deal with the nun?"
Blake glanced at Asia, who hesitated before stepping forward. "I… was expelled from the Church," she admitted softly. "Because I healed someone the Church saw as an enemy. They called me a heretic."
Rias’ gaze sharpened. "You healed a devil?"
Asia nodded hesitantly.
"That means she has Twilight Healing," Blake interjected. "One of the Sacred Gears that allows its wielder to heal any being—devils included."
Rias and Akeno exchanged looks. That was… significant.
"Asia," Rias said gently, "would you consider joining me? I could use a Bishop like you."
Asia’s eyes widened in shock. "M-Me? A devil?"
Blake placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "You don’t have to decide right away. Think about it first."
Rias smiled. "Fair enough. For now, let’s focus on getting her settled in."
As the conversation wrapped up, Blake took Asia and Kanna back to his place for the night.
Meanwhile, back at the abandoned church, a dark presence loomed over Freed’s unconscious body.
Raynare and three other Fallen Angels stood in the shadows, their expressions unreadable.
"This… complicates things," Raynare murmured.
