"Listen I'm only doing this because I want to find Kana-chan as soon as possible. I could care less about lil Angel-chan or you guys. This is just temporary so don't expect anything in return! "

"That's fine. As long as we're able to save Licht-san and Kana, your help is well appreciated. "

"So we're going to Tokyo World Tree Hotel, right? "

♥️♦️♠️♣️

[ Present time.. ]

"Licht." Kana half-stumbled and half-sprinted towards the pianist. He was in the room, tied with strings while cuts and blood marred his skin.

She lifted Licht's head gently, a worried look on her face. Slowly, his eyes fluttered open.

"A-Ah.. I can see an angel... Is this h-heaven..? So I was right.. I was really ...an angel.. " He muttered under his breath. Kana blinked in surprise as Licht leaned closer to her.

"Licht, please keep yourself together. We're getting out of here. "

"I didn't know t-that angels were so beautiful.. "

A laugh suddenly echoed from the door. "Ahahaha! This guy's really funny, Tsubakyun! He just saw angels and stuff! That was intense! "

"Aha.. Boring! What kind of flowerbed did this guy slept in? "

Licht grumbled a bit, still half-asleep. "Ah.. So there are even angels with irritating faces like this... How unexpected. "

" Nani?! " Belkia shrieked in shock.

"I'll have you know that I'm one of the next gen guys. A beautiful voice deserves a handsome face!"Tsubaki raised his chin in a proud manner.

"That's right! Tsubakyun is really ccooool! "

"Please wake up. " A small tint of pink dusting Kana's cheeks. She felt a little embarrassed and flattered by the pianist's earlier remark.

" Ah.. Angels are really great. "

Kana blushed even more.

"Please wake up. Please. "

♥️♦️♠️♣️

Lawless glared silently at his Big Brother Sloth, the rest of the gang noticing his icy stare while Kuro looked at anything but the Servamp of Greed.

Even Lily, who was usually calm and refreshing is feeling the tense atmosphere. Hugh was keeping his cool as he glanced over between the two brothers with a look of understanding.

Misono coughed to get their attention, already feeling how intense the situation is.

It was no stranger to everyone in the room that it was a totally bad idea to have Lawless and Kuro in the same place.

Kuro is looking pretty distant, he's there but he's not actually present since a lot of things are going on inside his head.

"So everyone is now well-versed about the plan, right? " Misono asked, everyone perked up while Kuro had his head hung low.

"But first, I want to ask. "He said. "Lawless, servamps are able to feel a certain connection towards their subclass. What can you infer about this Kana person's current condition."

Lawless gritted his teeth. "Don't say Kana-chan's name so familiarly. "

"H-Hey now! I'm sure we could work this out. We should focus on Kana and Licht-san right now! " Mahiru tried to defuse the situation but it doesn't help that Lawless is an asshole while Misono is a tsundere.

"Hah! Like I care about Lich-tan! I just want to retrieve Kana-chan and get away from you people! Being in the same room as you guys is making me sick! "

"Lawless! Don't be rude! They're only trying to help! " Krantz yelled at him but the Servamp of Greed isn't hearing it.

"I don't care! " He stood up. "I'm done playing friends! This was a ridiculous idea in the first place! I'm heading alone to get Kana-chan! "

"Lawless, that's not a good idea. Melancholy and his team are strong. Even though you're strong yourself, you won't be able to handle all of them alone. " Hugh reasoned." Besides, your Eve is also captured. "

He was about to speak again but Krantz squirted him with holy water.

"Gah! "Lawless faints for a few seconds and the rest are completely shocked.

"W-What happened?! "The brunette of the group freaked out while Krantz explained about the holy water and its effects on vampires. He often uses it when Lawless becomes unreasonable.

With that taken care of, the group proceeds to the plan but is stopped when they received a phone call.

"Bonjour! This is Krantz! How may I help you? "Krantz said but his eyes widened completely as he nodded profusely to the caller with meek answers like yes or no.

When the call ended, he dazely stared at nothing as Mahiru tried to ask who called.

He is able to compose himself after a few moments.

"It was Kana! "

"What?! "Lawless comes back to life and immediately apprehends Krantz for his phone. As Lawless fumbled over the phone, Krantz took it as a cue to explain the situation.

"Apparently, Kana and Licht were freed. They were taken as hostages before but they're free now. Since Licht is injured, Kana took him to a hospital nearby. But she's asking for help because some suspicious people called C3 approached them. "

The Servamps stiffened automatically.

"C3. This is bad. "Hugh mumbled. "Adora has always been a target by C3 so she could be used against Lawless. "

"What?! Then this is serious! We need to help them! " Mahiru announced.

"But do we really want to get involve with those people again? "Lily said.

"Is C3 that bad? "Misono asked.

"But what is this 'C3'? "Krantz inquired.

Lawless suddenly crushed the phone on his hands, much to Krantz's surprise. Their eyes widened at the display.

"Ahaha.... So C3's trying to butt in again. Just like last time... Is Big Brother Sloth going to accept their interference again? "Lawless said in an ominous tone with a dark look on his face before he slammed his hands on the table.

"Like hell will I allow it! Pride and Lust, the two of you are just going to follow nii-san again but I don't care anymore! " He suddenly glared. "It's nii-san's fault! If only you weren't there! Kana-chan wouldn't have been mad at me! Kana-chan would still be by my side! Accepting their order, I will never forgive you people! " Lawless shouted and dashed out of Tetsu's family hotel, a furious look on his face as he headed for the hospital.

Mahiru spoke. "This is bad! Lawless is going alone! "

"Shirota, calm down! We need to decide things calmly and not make rash decisions! "Misono told him.

"Misono is right. When it comes to dealing with C3, we need a plan. "Lily added.

"Take Tetsu and I with you, with this we can act accordingly to the situation. And who knows what Lawless would do if Adora is in C3's hands. "Hugh pointed his stick at Mahiru. "We need to get there as soon as possible! We'll deal with the eighth later! "

"Eh.. He's pretty tough even with those injuries! "Kana was frozen on her spot, a rifle was positioned on the side of her head in a threatening manner.

"L-Licht..? "She whispered, eyes landing over to the pianist's injured state.

"W-Who are you people?! An angel or a demon? "He spat angrily.

C3's hound merely chuckled."Nah! We're magicians! "

"Stop talking too much, Tsurugi! We're told to capture them! "A blonde nagged, clutching his rifle tighter while glaring at Kana, Kana feels as those she couldn't move because of his piercing stare.

"Yumi-chan, I'm just amazed that he could still stand up! Even though he's just a kid! "

"Stop it, you two. Even though they told us not to be violent, it can't be helped when dealing with vampires. " The one with glasses adjusted his specs.

"Jun-chan, so serious! But don't you think that she's cute for a vampire? " Tsurugi playfully said, gesturing to Kana.

"S-Stop.. "She stuttered and surely enough, Tsurugi was frozen in place.

"W-What?! Tsurugi! "Yumi called.

"Please stop! "Kana said louder that even the blonde seized moving.

"Tsurugi! Yumi! "Jun shouted, he directed his pistol to Kana. "What did you do?! "

Kana trembled. "I d-didn't mean to... Please! Just leave us alone! Stop it! " She cried loudly, everyone in the room stopped moving except for Kana.

"Stop!"Kana yelled even louder as she rushed to Licht, tears flowing freely from her eyes as she helped him stand.

"L-Licht-san..! Please be okay..!"

"Pathetic. "

"Huh..?"
