Rias couldn't contain her curiosity any longer and began with her inquiries. "To start off, how do you possess four wings? It's a rarity to see a dragon with such a unique feature. Not only that, but your power surpasses what anyone had imagined! I find it puzzling that someone as formidable as you lives so humbly. Why is that?"

Issei nonchalantly shrugged in response. "I don't feel the need to flaunt my strength and intimidate weaker beings just to assert dominance. That's something devils tend to do, and it's precisely why I'm not particularly fond of your kind. As for the wings, it's simply a personal trait of mine. Every dragon is distinct, so it doesn't hold any special meaning or prestige like it does for angels. However, my wings do serve as a reflection of my power, as you've probably noticed."

Rias's curiosity piqued further, and she continued to delve into Issei's connections. "So... you are allied with Heaven and the angels? That's surprising, considering you're friends with fallen angels and even Leviathan-sama."

Akeno interjected, seeking clarification. "Wait, what are you talking about, Akeno?"

Swiftly responding, Akeno informed them, "Hyoudou-san mentioned that he is friends with some of the fallen angels in this town."

Issei promptly clarified, "Only a few of them."

Akeno's curiosity got the better of her as she inquired further. "How does Gabriel-sama feel about you being friends with fallen angels?"

Issei shook his head, dismissing any concern. "I don't care how she feels. I can be friends with whoever I want."

Finally, Asia mustered the courage to speak directly to Issei, approaching him hesitantly. "I'm sorry to bother you, Hyoudou-san... no, Hyoudou-sama, but do you happen to know a fallen angel named Raynare?"

Issei's response was unexpected, yet completely serious. "Yeah, she frequently cooks breakfast for me. She can be a bit sadistic, but I keep her in check."

Akeno gasped, unable to believe what she was hearing. "Wait... you know that fallen angel?!"

Issei nodded, recounting their encounter. "Yeah, I met her the night Gremory came after her. Initially, I was going to let you kill her, but she was honest with me, so I allowed her to spend the night."

Akeno's eyes widened in shock. "She spent the night? As in... you slept with her?"

Issei clarified, causing uncertainty to ripple through the group. "Sort of, but we simply watched anime together on the couch."

Akeno was left bewildered, unsure of how to respond to Issei's casual attitude.

Xenovia stepped in to provide further context. "We've encountered them twice now. Raynare, Kalawarner, Dohnaseek, and Mittelt form a distinct group among the Fallen Angels, separate from the main faction in this town. They work directly under Azazel."

Rias's eyes widened in astonishment upon hearing this revelation. "Really? So Azazel ordered them to abduct Asia Argento and steal her sacred gear?"

Issei's voice remained calm and collected as he confirmed the suspicions. "That was indeed their goal until I intervened."

Interrupting Asia, who was about to share her own experiences, Issei reassured her. "Raynare won't lay a finger on you, and I've already taken care of that malicious exorcist. You'll be safe with Gremory's group, and if any trouble arises, I'll be here in Kuoh to ensure your well-being. Just stay out of harm's way, and I'll make sure nobody bothers you."

Asia looked at Issei with hope gleaming in her eyes. "Really?!"

Issei nodded sincerely. "Yeah."

Feeling a sense of relief, Asia sought guidance. "So what should I do now?" she asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

Asia's tears continued to flow as she expressed her confusion and despair. Issei looked at her with a mix of sympathy and understanding, trying to find the right words to provide comfort. "I can understand why you're feeling lost right now. It's a difficult situation to be in, especially when your faith and identity seem to be in conflict. But remember, just because your circumstances have changed doesn't mean you have to abandon your virtues or the goodness in your heart."

Xenovia stepped forward, her voice filled with conviction. "Asia, you mustn't lose hope. Even though you're no longer a member of the church, Heaven hasn't abandoned you. There are still angels who care about your well-being, including Gabriel. She will continue to look out for you, and she's even taking care of Diodora's former peerage. You have options, Asia. You can choose to join them or stay with Rias and her group. It's ultimately your decision, and whatever you choose, we will support you."

Asia wiped her tears with the back of her hand, her voice trembling. "But I've become a devil now. How can I reconcile that with my previous beliefs?"

Issei sighed, realizing the weight of Asia's internal struggle. "Becoming a devil doesn't mean you have to abandon your values. Rias is a devil princess, and she has shown time and again that she treats her servants with respect and kindness. If you decide to join her peerage, you'll go to school with us in Kuoh and participate in Rating Games. It won't be easy, but Rias will guide you and protect you. And remember, even if God is no longer here, his teachings of compassion and virtue still hold value."

Irina chimed in, her voice gentle and reassuring. "Heaven wouldn't condemn you for making a choice that prioritizes your well-being and happiness. You've been a victim in all of this, Asia. It's important to be kind to yourself and find a path that feels right for you."

Kiba, who had been quietly listening, spoke up. "I understand your struggle, Asia. I was once a member of the church too, and I had to grapple with similar questions. But when I was at my lowest, Rias saved me and gave me a new life. Being in the Gremory household has been a blessing. Rias treats her servants well, and the years I've spent with her and the others have been better than I could have ever imagined."

Xenovia and Irina exchanged serious glances, realizing the significance of Kiba's connection to Valper Galilei. Xenovia turned to Kiba with a determined look. "Wait a minute... you know Valper Galilei?"

Kiba nodded solemnly. "Yes, I know him. And I share your sentiment, Xenovia. That man is evil, and I want to stop him too."

Xenovia's eyes narrowed with intensity. "We've discovered that Valper Galilei is working with the Fallen Angel Cadre Kokabiel to gather Excaliburs. The fallen angels that Issei is friends with are also working to stop him under the orders of their leader, Azazel."
