(Your POV)
"Ravel, when in my schedule will I have time to work on my new Longinus." I asked the girl with drill hair while cracking my neck. It's been stiff lately.

"The soonest opening you'll have from all your training, political work, and leading the Tarot will be three weeks from now." Ravel looked at a clipboard. "Luckily, Azazel, Zenorse, and Vagus said they would take care of it."

"Alright, thank you, Ravel." I thanked the blonde girl before my eyes landed on a pair of knee high leather boots. "Are these shoes new?"

"I'm not sure, I haven't seen anyone wear them before." I looked at the shoes in a confused manner before I heard the door open and close behind me. "Excuse me, do you know who these boot belong to-"

I tried asking the person who opened the door about the origin of the shoes, but I went silent upon seeing who the person was. It was Rossweisse, except now she was wearing something odd. She wore a jean short skirt, a striped shirt that clung tightly to her body, and a fashionable leather jacket. She also did her hair so it looked like a super model's. The Valkyrie's lips looked to have some kind of lipstick on them. Rias was following her close behind, in a slightly miffed fashion mind you.

"So...(Y/N)...apparently you have to go on a date." Rias informed me in a slightly tired tone.

"Okay, where do you want to go, Rias?" I thought Rias meant a date with her, which I most certainly won't mind. "The aquarium, planetarium, museum, library?"

"No, I would love a date with you right now, but no, this date isn't for me, it's for Rossweisse." Rias pointed her thumb at Rossweisse, causing Ravel and I to look confused. "Rossweisse just explained the situation to me, so you just have to act as her boyfriend for now."

"Okay..." I was hesitant, and Rossweisse looked to be very embarrassed. I decided not to question it. "So Rossweisse, where would you like to go?"

"There's a mall I would like to go to out of town, is it okay if we go there?" Rossweisse asked, and I nodded before putting on a pair of shoes.

"Of course, and I won't ask why you're now going through a serious fashion change."

"Be back by eight though, we have a kind of pre-meeting to attend tonight." Rias informed the two of us, and we both nodded.

Rossweisse and I both left the house and got into the old pick up truck that everyone keeps forgetting we have. Rossweisse was the one who drove the pick up truck to the train station, 'because I'm older so I should drive' is what she said. It was confusingly quiet between us, neither of us were really the social type. So we turned on the radio to fill the awkward silence between us. This awkward silence persisted until we reached the train station, and by that point my curiosity was killing me.

"So...Rossweisse, why did you suddenly start dressing like that?" I asked Rossweisse, who looked slightly insulted before I facepalmed myself. "My apologies, I have a habit of being much too blunt. I was just curious as to why you changed your apparel. There was nothing wrong with how you looked originally, I personally thought you looked beautiful even without all that makeup and fancy clothes."

"W-Well I just decided to, that's all." Rossweisse gave her answer as we scanned our tickets on our phones to access the trains. I decided not to look too much into it.

The two of us then decided to get onto the train, and wherever Rossweisse sat, eyes followed. Not surprising, she always looked like a model, but it was now that she decided to dress as one as well. I could hear various people talking about how she must be a model from overseas, or how beautiful she was. Luckily, no one dared approach Rossweisse, my guess is that they assumed I was her bodyguard or some kind of gangster. After 15 minutes of riding the train, Rossweisse and I arrived at our stop and got off the train. We walked down the street for a couple minutes before eventually arriving at some kind of mall. We entered the mall and I noticed how Rossweisse excitedly went down a flight of stairs. I followed her down the stairs to see what she was so excited about, the entire lower floor of the mall was nothing but different kinds of 100 Yen stores. Rossweisse looked to be excited about one in particular, specifically one named 'Bella'.

"T-This is it!" Rossweisse excitedly pointed at the store. "This is the huge 100 yen store for women that I have been dreaming about...the Bella! It's name means Beautiful or Beauty in Italian, and this story only has fashionable items for everyone that even rich people demand!"

"Neat." I wasn't going to tell Rossweisse that ever since becoming a devil, my funds have increased dramatically. I noticed a bucket hat with a seal logo on it. "This is surprisingly good quality."

"I know right, it's hard to believe all these things are only 100 yen!" Rossweisse was excited as we browsed the aisles and aisles of different clothes and accessories.

This date was so simple, I was somewhat hesitant to call it a date at all. The only reason I agreed to call it a date was because of Rossweisse. She enthusiastically rambled on about how plastic clothes are actually worse for the environment compared to animal leather clothes, or how they cost more due to having to buy them so many times. She'd excitement was uncontainable, while I just stood by and looked at hats. After a couple minutes of shopping, I learned that Rossweisse somehow spent 10,000 yen, meaning she bought 100 items in that store alone. Luckily, we managed to find a courier service, so the purchased items would arrive at our house. I feel so bad for the delivery guy. Still, we decided to keep our date up and going by going to a cafe upstairs. There was a terrace upstairs, so Rossweisse and I decided to eat there. I noticed something while we were sitting down, she looked nervous.

"D-Did I bore you?" Rossweisse asked me, and you tilted your head. "I'm sorry for  wasting so much time at the store."

"It's not wasted if we both had fun." You held up the seal bucket hat you bought at the store and put it on, causing Rossweisse to giggle.

"...Now that I think about it, this is my first time being on a date..." Rossweisse slumped down in her chair.

"Was it really okay with me being your date?" I questioned the girl, who looked confused. "Like Kiba is way more attractive than me, and Azazel has a freaking sports car."

"Hey, no doubting yourself." Rossweisse gently karate chopped my head. "You're the only person I've really considered asking out."

"Don't worry, I'm not doubting myself, Rias told me I'm not allowed to do that anymore." I waved my hands in front of my face. "I was just curious. Since I have no better conversation topics, why don't we try getting to know eachother better? Like how was your homeland?"

"When I was in my homeland, all I did was study. The Valkyrie's around me had heated discussions about amazing heroes that ended up becoming the Warriors of Valhalla. My classmates were the opposite, they wasted their time with dates and stuff. As for me, I gave it my all at studying in order to get closer to my goal of becoming a Valkyrie." Rossweisse looked at the scenery the terrace offered. "Looking back, I should have spent a little time getting a boyfriend instead of wasting my youth."

"Rossweisse, you're only a year older than me." I sweatdropped, or was it two years? I'm not sure. "I guess all that studying wasn't wasted though, you became a bodyguard for the All Father, Odin."

"Please don't forget he left me behind in Kuoh." Rossweisse reminded me. Right, I forgot about that. "Despite all my studying, you have done more than I have when I was your age."

"I only got lucky." I rubbed the back of my neck as Rossweisse pulled out something from her pocket, a stone? No, this stone had a specific rune on it. "What's that?"

"This is a unique symbol, my house crest, a crest that has been passed down through generations of my family." Rossweisse handed me the rune carved stone. "The oldest child of the family usually inherits this symbol, and it gets carved into their body and soul in order to pass it on to the next generation. I am the oldest child, but I couldn't...I couldn't inherit this symbol."

"What?"

"I don't have any siblings, so my distant cousin inherited the emblem in the end." Rossweisse continued the story. "My cousin completed the ritual that is required to inherit the symbol. I was originally bad at using the specific magic that my family specializes in, Seiz Style. I learnt how to use rune and Gandol style, but what shocked me the most was how easily I learned the valkyrie's battle magic. At the moment, I have become the user of one of the most powerful offensive magic in my family. My other family members use the three magic styles, Seiz, Gandol, and Rune. While I only use offensive magic, making me the odd one out. I was lucky to become a Valkyrie, but my results are nothing compared to my grandmother in her prime..."

"Seiz, Gandol, and Rune???"

"Think of them as martial arts forms for magic."

"Thank you for clarifying."

"Anyway, spellcasters from my family often communicate with fairies to learn spiritual magic, however, I was exceptional at that, and I learned spells like a sponge absorbs water. My parents were astonished by my abilities to somehow launch barrages of magic and still reserve my magic."

"So you've learned all these spells, but you still had to go back to your homeland to learn defensive magic?"

"That's one way of putting it, but to oversimplify it, my magic has diverted away from my family's traditional way of using it. When I was a child, I always imagined myself inheriting my family's traditional way of magic, everyone around me had high hopes, and I let them down just because I can't use the traditional way of magic. None of my family blames me, and they still treat me normally, but still, I hate the fact that I let them down just because I can't do something so easy correctly. I consider myself lucky to have been picked as an escort for Odin, though knowing him, he probably picked me because he thought I was pretty..."

"Despite Odin being a pervert like Issei, he's surprisingly smart. So he could have picked you out because he knew you'd meet us and make new friends."

"Maybe you're right, I'm sorry for talking too long. Since my grandma has shown up, I've needed to get this off my chest."

"It's alright, are you okay now?"

"Yes, I am, thanks for listening to me ramble on."

"It's okay, hey, I heard Sona offered you a position at her school, are you going to take it?"

"I think my grandmother would make a better teacher."

"Oh my dear, there's not a single thing in which you are inferior to your grandmother." A new voice suddenly joined the conversation.

This new voice prompted me to summon a glock in my hands and aim it at the new voice. The owner of the new voice was sitting at our table with us. How did he sneak up on us? My earth sense would have alerted me if someone came towards us? Was I too absorbed while listening to Rossweisse speak to not hear him? The owner of this voice was none other than Euclid, Euclid Lucifuge.

"How do you do, King of Hope and Former Valkyrie?" Euclid greeted us as though nothing was wrong. "By the way, (Y/N), put the gun away, you'll cause a panic."

"I guess you're right there." I had no choice but to make my gun disappear in a flash of light. "Why are you here? Euclid?"

"Oh relax, I'm not here for you, I have business with the lady." Euclid looked at Rossweisse. "I will be straightforward about this, so will you join our side?"

"Why on earth would I even consider joining you guys after you kidnapped some of my own students?!" Rossweisse questioned in a pissed tone, only for Euclid to smile before saying something.

"—Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is a number of a man: and the number of him is 666." Euclid was reciting something from the Bible? Does he have some form of resistance to holy damage too? "Rossweisse, I hear that you wrote a certain essay as a student in Asgard with the title 'Regarding the Beast of the Apocalypse'."

"I-I got r-rid of that essay because I couldn't complete it." Rossweisse spoke in a shaky voice. "I submitted an entirely different essay, b-but why and how do you know about my first essay?"

"We are the ones who are gathering every single piece of information regarding Trihexa." Euclid puts on a disgusting smile. "Even if it's an essay written by a teenage Valkyrie written in the past, we will find that essay no matter what."

"B-But I only told my roommate about that essay, d-don't tell me you...!" Rossweisse didn't finish her sentence because Euclid's smirk only increased in size.

"Speaking of that little roommate, we helped ourselves to search through her memories, but we didn't get all that much information from her." Euclid spoke proudly of his feat. "That's why we decided to just recruit you directly."

"Damn you, I should just take you down right here-!" Rossweisse was about to sucker punch Euclid, but I stopped her by reminding her there are people around us.

"My apologies for causing a scene, I'll take my leave now." Euclid got up from his chair, but before leaving, he told us something. "She's safe, we didn't take her hostage. You know..." Euclid grabbed some of Rossweisse's hair and ran his fingers through it. "I want your ability. You are exceptional, more than you think. This silver hair, it's exactly like..."

"Leave." I grabbed the man's wrist and he let go of Rossweisse's hair. "Now."

"Fine fine, you win King of Hope." Euclid began walking away, but what he said next confused me. "You know, there's one huge treasure trove of information on not only Trihexa, but also the Longinus, Great Red, the God of the Bible, Ophis, and my other powerful people that I'm dying to get my hands on."

"What's that?"

"The memories of your past life."

(Timeskip, brought to you by (Y/N) shooting targets with Euclid's face on them)

"For Euclid to appear in broad daylight...I was careless."

All of us were in my backyard, discussing what had happened with Euclid. We all agreed a long time ago that the Khaos Brigade is no longer a threat because Vali and Cao Cao quit with their respective teams, plus Rizevim and Euclid claim to be their own organization. A group called Qlippoth. This group is possibly more dangerous than the Khaos Brigade because the Khaos Brigade has standards, they only attack the supernatural. Qlippoth is different, they can and will kill anyone to achieve their goals, if not, they'll do it because they can. Including humanity. Rossweisse and I felt guilty because just us being in the same mall as those people put them at risk. If we had handled things differently, they all could have died.

"They took a massive risk approaching Rossweisse in public like that." Akeno thought out loud. "Now that you two have reported him, the security over there has been raised even higher. So while approaching you could prove advantageous to them in one way, but could prove disadvantageous because if they're caught, they make themselves out to be a target. We could corner them if done correctly."

"We should contact Azazel, let him know that this happened." Issei suggested as he ate some potato chips. "I don't want my best friend to end up getting attacked randomly."

"Wait, where's Azazel again?" I asked the group of people, I haven't seen him around.

"He's in the underworld, helping the researchers and magicians work with sacred gears." Koneko informed me, and I thanked the small girl. 

With that said, Rias got her phone out and dialed Azazel's phone number. The phone rang for a couple minutes before Azazel finally picked up. Even with the speaker, we all had to get close to Rias so we could hear her properly. I sat on one side of Rias, while Akeno sat on the other. Azazel finally picked up his phone, and we explained everything that happened to him.

"I see..so Rossweisse has been targeted by the Qlippoth." Azazel's voice was hard to hear. "I should have expected this. Do you all know the sole thing that links all the missing magicians together? They all have been researching 666, the number of the beast. Plus the ones coming to the meeting in a couple days are more researchers that research Trihexa, just more general ones."

"Rizevim made it clear that he's after Trihexa, but from what it sounds like they don't know too much about it." Kiba guessed. "If they knew all they needed to, they wouldn't need all these researchers."

"Not to mention those seals that the God of the Bible used to seal away Trihexa...by my calculations, there are at least 23 seals that Qlippoth will have trouble undoing." Azazel informed us. "Rossweisse, how did you try to encode the number 666?"

"I researched it by using the number 616 instead of 666, which has a different approach." Rossweisse said to Azazel. I used that number to compare it with the documents and incidents that occurred within each force as I made a numerical formula and technical formula."

"Just as I thought." Azazel let out a groan. "Many of the researchers that have been abducted used the 616 approach instead."

"But why?" Issei wondered.

"Because of the Roman Emperor Nero." Vagus appeared behind us with his eyes shut. Is he like the grim reaper or something. "Nero was so bad to Christians that people called Nero the reincarnation of Satan himself, and started associating Nero with the devil. If someone transliterates Nero's name from Greek name, Neron,  into Hebrew, which is נרון קסר, someone gets a numerical value of 666. However, Rome spoke Latin, so they used his Latin name, Nero, so the transliteration comes out as נרו קסר, which gets someone 616 instead of 666."

"How do you know all that but never speak in the first person?" Koneko looked at the cloaked man.

"Because Vagus was there." Vagus answered, and we had no idea how to respond to that.

"Rossweisse, can you write down everything you remember researching in that essay?" Azazel requested of the white haired Valkyrie.

"I did that earlier the moment we got back." Rossweisse pulled out a yellow folder. "Now how are we going to get this to you?"

"Leave it to Vagus, Vagus is a good delivery boy!" Vagus held his fist in the air, and Rossweisse handed him the folder. "Thank you Miss, now I'll get going."

"Wait, before you go, I have a question." I stopped Vagus. "Euclid said that there is a treasure trove of information on the Longinus, Great Red, Ophis, and a bunch of other powerful people in my memories of my past life. What does he mean?"

"(Y/N), Vagus will only tell you this, pray." Vagus opened his eyes, revealing his rainbow irises. "Pray that (Y/N) will never find out, because if (Y/N) finds out, (Y/N) would be in danger."

"Wait, how would he be in danger?" Rias asked, concerned by what Vagus told him.

"Everyone wants the memories of our past life." Vagus answered, and I almost forgot he's a reincarnation of Steve as well. "Steve is the one who created the Longinus, and Steve was very close to Great Red, God of the Bible, and more people. However, Steve's memories also contain many secrets. Secrets that must be secret no matter what."

"No pressure."

"Shut up Issei."
