Tailor Store

"How long has it been since they're in there and guy stop peeking!" Nawin order seeing the young assistance who's around their age trying to peek through a curtains that the other girls are currently using. "I was not!" the brown haired replies with a blush.

"Hey Issei, I may have found your long lost brother" Nawin points out seeing some similarity, making the Hyoudou next to him groan "Hardy har... very funny teme". "We're almost done!" Rias voice shouts from the curtain "Ok kid we need some privacy" Nawin picks the boy up by the back of his collar and throws him back to the counter while Issei close the curtain.

Nawin sees excitement on the Hyoudou's face as he stares at Rias side causing him to chuckle lightly "Calm down there Issei and don't try to pounce on her" he said with slight jest making the other turn and smirk "What about you huh?" Nawin gives a blank stare "Can you honestly picture me doing that?" Issei pause and imagine it to quickly find it hilarious, but impossible "Fine... you got a point, you're too elegant and prideful to do such a thing" "Mhm".

Suddenly the curtains open making the two boys turn to see Rias and Akeno wearing sparkling, long, rich, elegant dresses. Rias dress is similar designed with her friend, but the different is the colors her is crimson while Akeno wears black. Issei whistle elbowing his friend "Getting hot in here Nawin!" he jokes making the girls giggle.

Nawin smile and open his right palm causing a beautiful purple rose to appear "Here this will match well with your dress" he states placing the flower at the right of Akeno's breast. "It matches with the bracelet quite well" she responds happily making the black haired look down towards her right hand "You ever take that off?" he asks curiously "Nope only when showering or heading to bed" she replies faithfully making him smile "I see".

"Hey don't be so lovey dovey we need to head to the party" Issei jest making the Makasha turn to him "Rias, I'm wondering have this guy given you some accessory or present to show your love for each other?". Rias grins and point at the new necklace that the black haired have never seen before, the necklace is made of pure gold with beautiful master craft design shown on the thin chain with a red dragon head that have glow emerald eyes insignia being the base "He gave me this a few days ago" she replies happily while Issei rubs the back of his head with a slight blush appears.

"The welsh dragon? how romantic of you Issei" Nawin teases a bit with a smirk "Oh shut it you!". Rias clap her hand catching everyone's attention "We really should start get moving, it would be rude and a bad first impression if we show up late" she said making the three nod.

"But before that, go pay for the dresses Rias, don't pull a Akeno" Nawin said causing the raven haired to giggle sheepishly while the other two looks at him confuse "A Akeno?" Issei ask "Let's just say Akeno here have a tendency to forget to pay the things she wants" Nawin answers petting the Himejima's head.

Time Skip: Grand Castle Entrance

"Welcome Sir Makasha, Sir Hyoudou, and Madam Gremory, Madam Himejima" the two golden knights bow at the four "We've been informed of your arrivals, please follow us as we take you to the dining room where her majesty and her family awaits".

"There won't be needing that, I will personally take them there" a familiar voice interrupts showing Emyr appearing in the entrance room wearing a long sleeve white tunic shirt, blue long pants, black dress shoe. Emyr stand in front of the group and smile "You ladies look beautiful in those dress" he complements nobly making the two smile "Thank you very much Sir Emyr, you don't look half bad yourself" Rias replies.

Emyr turn to the boys "You two are looking good as well and all black Nawin? Fits you well" he said with a smile. Issei return the gesture and thanks him though the Makasha just simply nod "Can we get moving?" he said making the older man chuckle "Of course follow me". Emyr opens the front large door leading to a long hallway that have different variety type of armors and weapons showcase with lots of them being made in gold or silverite, for wall decorations there are some amazing, breathtaking pictures spread around the walls that looks to be all hand painted by master skilled artists.

Emyr stop in front of a black marble wall confusing the four "Um have we taken a wrong turn?" Issei ask making the blue haired shake his head and smile "No just walk through here" he replies then disappears into the wall surprising the three.

Nawin sighs walking pass the group and into the wall "Come on" his voice boom from the wall. "Last person in is a rotten egg!" Issei grins and quickly run forward to only be pull back by Rias who gives him a stern look "Issei behave remember" "Oh... right sorry" he replies sheepishly. Akeno enters with Rias next "Oh great I just made myself a rotten egg" Issei grumbles before entering.

"I'm glad you all finally arrive" a sweet voice filled with welcome and kindness greets the four making them look up at the golden throne to see a stunning slender young woman with fair smooth tan skin, maroon color eyes, long beautiful golden hair that reaches down her waist with shoulder-length strands that framed both side of her face and a black clip that she use to part her hair to the right showing her shapely face.

The Queen is dress in a beautiful green Victorian style dress that fits perfectly for the evening and clearly shows she's at the upper class to all with different jewels wears around the neck and rings on her hands. The four are clearly blast away from such beauty from the Queen who's standing in front of the throne smiling at them while two tall armored knight stands tall and strong beside the throne, holding large halberds.

Rias, Akeno, and Issei quickly bows down "Thank you for inviting us here your ladyship" Rias thanks with respect and gratitude clear in her tone. Emyr who's currently leaning at the side smile seeing this "I think Nawin may have forgotten his respects" he comments making the three turn to see the Makasha standing tall staring at the Queen stoically.

"Nawin!" Rias hiss glaring at him "I don't bow to anyone unless they earn my respect... I don't care if you're the Queen of Shigemi, King of Satans, or any of the higher" he shoots back and immediately is pin down by the two knights with one of them placing the halberd sharp blade at the back of his neck.

Akeno immediately stand up seeing this with lighting creaking around her hands making Rias about to interrupt, but "Don't Akeno" Nawin call out from the ground and look up at her with a surprising calm expression like being pinned down didn't affect him "I got this" suddenly the lights from the chandleries and candies goes out and everyone can hear bodies drop down to the marble floor.

When the light comes back on everyone is greeted with the knights laying on the floor unconscious while Nawin stood between them rubbing his shoulder while he's sight is completely focus on the Queen who looks at the display with interest "Are you impress your highness?" he asks boldly making Emyr shake his head and sighs.

The Queen clap her hand one's causing the room to shake from the sudden magic exploding out from a single clap surprising the four. "I'm impress... seems like the black flash reputation is not over exaggerate like I thought, you are incredibly fast and a terrifying person to go against at full dark" she states with a smile.

"Wait what's happening?" Issei ask standing back up "It just a test to show her highness that we can handle the task and ease her headache with this nightwalker we're going up against" Nawin replies. "I asked Nawin to demonstrate his power in front of the Queen, after seeing what he did at the arena earlier today" Emyr adds in.

"The nightwalker has killed lots of my people... I need to be sure that Sirzech has sent he's strongest soldiers, but after hearing from Emyr that he sent the Black flash and he's younger sister Princess Gremory then my nerve slightly eases, though I'd expected only two, but there's four of you why is that?" She asks walking down the stairs and stop in front of a long dining table.

"It was going to be just myself and Rias, but I thought it would be a better idea to bring these two since this girl my lover Akeno just gotten back from harsh training and is currently white hot and ready to battle" Nawin ruffles Akeno's raven lock then points at the Hyoudou "Issei here contain a powerful sacred gear inside of him like me that is called Boosted gear a weapon that doubles its user power by every ten seconds" he states surprising the Queen and Emyr.

Nawin seeing the looks on the two faces "Don't go overthinking that it grants its user unlimited power that reaches to the god stage... Issei hasn't mastered it yet and sadly still is a bit of a novice on it, that's why I bought him here, so he can gain more experience" he adds making the Queen look a bit disappointed, but nods along with Emyr.

"Well, you four won't be alone in this task since I've assigned division five to help you including Captain Emyr" the Queen inform taking a seat down, making herself comfortable in a beautifully crafted wooden chair at the end of the dining table "I want this monster to be found and killed... it's been living among us and killing my people for long enough".

The four including Emyr take their own seats, Rias and Issei seated next to each other with Nawin and Akeno at the other side while Emyr makes himself comfortable at the other end of the table. "How exactly long has the beast been terrorizing Shigemi?" Nawin ask getting down to business.

The Queen picks up a silver chalice filled with crystal water and take a sip before answering "It's first appearance was around a month from now... it's only been striking the riches, like its first victim is a duke that owns one of the biggest wine business in Shigemi and a close friend of mine". "It's next kill was the second daughter of the Bantiz family, they are one of the richest and most successful painters in these lands, which doesn't really make sense, since the girl was innocent and sadly just gotten married a few days before her passing" Emyr said sadly.

"If you don't mind, I like to have the documents on all the victim's deaths at what time and place, I also want information about their past, and family relatives" Nawin request which the Queen nod "I'll grant you those access, it will be given after dinner" she said then summons one of the maid with just a flick of a finger "Please go fetch what Sir Makasha asked" the blue haired maid kneel down "Yes my Queen" the maid replies before disappearing in a cloud of ice.

Rias, Akeno, and Issei stare at the Makasha surprise seeing him completely taking over and asking all the questions. Rias hung her head down in depression 'Huh, even in leadership my little brother has a knack for it... is there anything he can't do or is it I even need to start improving my question and leader skills'. "So the beast appearance is a complete mystery? There must be at least an ounce of source that has seen or caught a glimpse of this Nightwalker" Nawin push needing to know more details on this mysterious beast.

"We aren't holding any information back Nawin" Emyr reassure "I know it's hard to believe, but we have never caught sight of the beast and witnesses would be killed alongside the victims, so no one is alive to give us the crucial information about its appearance". Nawin sighs leaning on his right hand "I see..." "Wait Nawin!" Rias suddenly burst in the conversation making everyone turn to her "Something you want to insert Rias?" the Queen inquire.

Rias nod "Yes we forgot to mention thi-" "It's already been done Rias" Nawin interrupt making her turn to him "I informed that to Emyr... the body is already taken and currently being examined for any clues we can find" he respond making the Gremory falls back down to her seat depress "Oh, I see" she mutter quietly making her voice squeak causing everyone chuckle.

Suddenly the door burst startling everyone except the Queen and Emyr. Four chefs speed into the room and goes around the table placing numbers amount of different kind of food down on the master craft golden table. "Dinner is served!" they said in union before speeding back to the door causing it to shut by itself.

"Well, we can discuss more later, for now enjoy the food everyone" the Queen utters happily "Look at all this food!" Issei comments looking at the variety of foods like Peking duck and full set of roast pig going down to pumpkin soup and fried rice's "There will be more joining us" Emyr inform reaching for some bread buns.

Nawin cuts up some parts of Peking duck and pass it to Akeno before cutting some more for himself "I almost forgot to ask" he call out making the Queen who's enjoying some tomato soup turn to him "Pardon?" "What is your highness name?". The Queen place the spoon down and bring a hand near her mouth giggling "Oh, how rude of me to forget such important thing like that" she said embarrassingly before smiling at the four "To answer your question my name is Roseral Redmoon".

Suddenly a knock at the door catch everyone's attention "Who is it?" Roseral calls out "I-It's me, mother" a familiar voice answer. Roseral smile "You can come in Elise" the door swings open showing the brown haired entering still wearing her armor, but what catches the group attention is there's another girl standing beside her. The odd looking white pale skin, petite, young girl have a very distinct appearance with her long straight silver hair and crystal color ruby eyes. The attire she's wearing consist of a silver armor with blue dress underneath and at her head she wears a special made silver metal headband on top of her forehead with some silver bangs falling down behind it landing on her forehead.

"Sorry for being late, I had to take Ceri to bath" Elise explains holding the shorter girl hand. Roseral smile "It's ok you arrived just in time, now come take a seat you two" she replies. Nawin examine the young silver haired girl seeing her holding an expressionless face 'Hmm she's very different from the rest of her family wonder if she's adopted like Elise...'.

"I'm sure you all met Elise" Roseral pets the brown haired next to her "She's my adopted daughter while to the right is my daughter Ceri Redmoon". Elise send the four a foxy grin "Hope you guys are enjoying the food" Rias smile "Yes it's very delicious, by the way how is your assignment for the division five going Elise?" "Oh Captain Emyr didn't gave me any massive work, all he did is showed me around, so I can get use to the barracks and the other knights".

Emyr finish the pumpkin soup and looks up "I don't have to give you any work for a while, since it seems your mother has grant you your request" he smile making Elise turn to her mother surprise "Is what he said true?!" Roseral smile "Yes I'm assigning the division five to aid the Vesarima devil on hunting down the nightwalker".

Elise grins pumping her fist in the air "Hell yeah!" she exclaims making Emyr and the Queen chuckle "I'm guessing you want this thing to be found just as much as her majesty?" Nawin question making the brown haired nod "Yes it was one of the reasons why I wanted to join division five since they are the main division who are assigned on the nightwalker task".

"Um why isn't she speaking?" Issei ask noticing Ceri been eating a bowl of fried rice quietly the whole time "Oh I'm sorry, but she can't speak... ever since she turned ten her voice abruptly stop, causing her to become mute" Roseral explain with heartbreaking tone making the group flinch while Nawin raise an eyebrow glancing at the small girl.

Suddenly Ceri reaches inside her breast plate and pulls out a notebook that have a pen attached to the side, she slides the pen up and proceeds to write on the blank paper, before showing it to her mother who looks at it and smile "Ok... I understand" she said wiping the small tears from her eyes before turning to the four "Sorry, remembering those days is very painful, but Ceri was able to look pass it" Roseral rubs the silver haired girl head affectionately "She's a very strong girl and was able to find a way to communicate with people by using these notebooks which for the past few years she's been doing well with it".

"Princess Ceri is a very special girl, since she inherited our late king famous ability" Emyr speaks out making the group turn to him "Ability?" Akeno repeats "Yes... my husband is well known for he's prowess of being able to see the future which sadly led to his demise and... change" Roseral suddenly clench her hands "Having such power can turn good man... cruel".

Issei and Akeno look confuse by that statement while Rias and Nawin eyes narrow hearing it 'These lands hold lots of secrets' the mysterious hooded man voice rings in their head. "Um, if you don't mind me asking what happened to the late king?" Issei ask "He was killed by a Manticore, a very dangerous and rare creature" Nawin perks up hearing the name "Manticore? I thought they were wiped out".

"Not completely extinct there's still a handful of them roaming these lands and I'm sure at your land as well, some of them probably went into hiding after the devils start to band up and hunt each of them down... it actually took two captains to take one down after our king death... that Manticore was very ancient judging by its appearance we saw" Emyr said "Interesting, it must be one hell of a battle then" Nawin comment then takes a sip of orange juice "The battle obliterated an entire forest, before we could take it down".

"I still haven't felt a captain's power yet, so I'm not going to be impress with that statement" Nawin voice his opinion making Elise nod "Oh, if you ever see a captain getting ready to battle then you will feel what they can do Sir Makasha" she replies. "Is Ceri assign to one of the divisions?" Akeno ask changing the subject.

Roseral was about to answer, but stop when seeing her daughter started writing and face the notes toward Akeno "No?" she reads out "Princess Ceri doesn't condone violence, so field work doesn't suit her, but if I'm correct princess are you still thinking of joining the division two?" Emyr ask turning to the silver haired who nods lightly "I see, well I'm positive you will suit there greatly if you decide to join".

"If you can really see the future Princess Ceri, then can you read my future!" Issei ask grinning with excitement and anticipation while everyone quickly turn to the silver haired who stare blankly at the Hyoudou when her eyes suddenly flash in purple before turning back to ruby red.

Ceri holds her notebook up and writes on it, before showing it to everyone the sentence 'You will die'. Issei falls down the chair seeing the comment before getting up glaring at her "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I WILL DIE?!" he yells. Ceri blinks innocently and rips the written page to write on a new one 'You will die in a painful and gruesome way, by the nightwalker' the note says making Issei pale causing Rias to rub his shoulder gently "Don't worry Issei-kun I won't let that happen" she reassures her lover who smile and nod "Thanks and I will protect you as well".

Roseral smile with glee seeing the couple "Looking at young kids love make me feel so old, oh how I wish I could go back to those old and simpler days" she sighs dreamily making Rias and Issei blush while Nawin and Akeno smirk with amusement.

"What about you Elise found anyone special?" Roseral turns to her daughter teasingly "W-what n-no of course not!" Elise exclaim with a bright blush before crossing her arms and snap her head to the side "I don't have time for that mother" Roseral giggles "I know darling anyway it's too early for you, for now just do what makes you happy" Elise grins "I always do". "Please your majesty... don't encourage her so much" Emyr advise with a sigh.

Elise stick her tongue out at the captain "Oh dear what has she done?" Roseral ask curious "Well I originally didn't want to inform you this, but some part of our barracks could use repainting" Emyr inform with slight irritation. Roseral turn to her daughter sternly "Elise" "I thought Captain Emyr barracks could use some more coloring considering it's all plain white" she replies in defense lifting her hands up to an X shape.

Nawin mentally face palm seeing how childish the Queen adopted daughter can be 'She and Lucy would sure become quick friends' he states mentally. "Still you got some paint on the new recruits and knights, if it wasn't for your status they would have been less forgiving" Emyr point out making Elise cross her arms and puff "I said sorry to all of them didn't I? that was an accident!".

Ceri writes on her notebook and shows it to Elise who reads it and sweat drop while the others chuckle seeing what it said 'Sometime you can be a clown sis' words written down on the page. "I love you too little sister" Elise comment blankly ignoring the comment while Ceri blinks innocently and writes 'Love you too'.

Nawin glance to the side seeing the two large knights are gone and is back to their previous position 'Must be very well trained standing there still like a stone and hiding their magic signature... if I wasn't this close I would have thought they are just armor stands'.

"Oh yes" The Queen claps her hand making everyone turn "I want to give you something that will help you four with the task, so Nawin you mind accompanying me since it's in my room" she asks "Sure I don't mind" The Makasha shrugs standing up.

The two leaves the room and begin walking down the hallway which at the right side haves long line of mirrors showing other side of the beautiful Shigemi land. "Is there a hidden reason why you wanted to bring me along your highness?" Nawin turns to Roseral who nod "I wanted to be certain... can I trust you to complete this mission?".

Nawin stop when the Queen pause and turn to him fully with serious expression shown on her face "There's more going on isn't there?" he starts crossing arms giving a slight stern look at the blond "What are you hiding?... It will make the task easier if I have the full details your highness".

The Queen walk to the windows and place her hands down on the golden handle "These lands have seen some dark times in the past... Shigemi wasn't always this peaceful or hold beauty. My parents spend their whole life to make this land to what it is today... they were once devil's from the capitals, but was banish because of false accusations".

Nawin leans on the wall listening to every word "So they along with their whole family and peoples that supported them and believe in their ideas of building a place like Shigemi... A land that hold peace and no corruptions" "There's no such place like that" The Makasha cuts in making the Queen glance back at him surprise "A place where there's no corruption... where everyone is treated fair and no evil creeps around the shadows" Nawin clench his arms and turn his head to the side in annoyance.

"That's fairy tales only kids or naïve people would believe in... there will always be corruption and evil their like parasites... kill one and another will be born, kill them all then give it some time and dozens more will show up, it's just how this world works". Roseral looks down at a special sapphire ring that is being worn on her index finger "Do you truly believe that black flash?" "I have experience what this world has to offer... my life may has only begin, but I have experience corruption, hatred, revenge, and killed them, but more appear... stronger than the last and more evil".

"I see you have your ways in looking at the world and I have mine... I believe this world can be a better place" Roseral said making Nawin turn to her and click his teeth "You mean Shigemi don't you and not the world outside of this fantasy land your parents created" "My priority will always be for my people... I don't own the outside world a thing and same goes to Vesarima" Roseral shoot back sharply making Nawin chuckle softly "I don't blame you... I can understand you in that regard of looking after something or someone that you hold dear".

"Though let me ask you this... if you don't care about Vesarima then why did you request our aid? Why even bother signing an alliance with Sirzech?" Nawin question "I did it for the best of my people" Roseral answers calmly "You talk about wanting this land to have no hatred, but how is that possible when the Queen of this land can't even stop the hatred in her and refuse to push aside an old mistake" Nawin fire back causing the blond to eyes widen in shock.

"You see what I mean?... a place without hatred and corruptions is impossible everyone has them, it's just some knows how to not be consumed by it and fight it back or learn how to forgive and start anew" Nawin sighs looking at the shock Queen "It seems like you still have to learn that last part your highness... for your sake and your people".

Nawin stare up at the ceiling for a minute to let the Queen get back to her bearings "Anyway let's not stray and get back to business about your details on this nightwalker, do you have any idea what it could be?" Nawin ask wanting to get back to business making the Queen slowly nods and turn her back against him to face the mirrors "My apologize on going off track and yes I may have an idea what it could be... an ancient beast that once hunts Shigemi in my parents time, hundreds of years ago... a Lycanthropes".

'Wait...' Nawin's pupils narrow hearing that name "Isn't that another name for a Werewolf?" he mutters making Roseral look at him confuse "Were...wolf?". 'Sairex am I correct?' 'Well yes in this modern day you would know them as werewolf's, but centuries ago people known them as Lycanthropes' 'Probably because human found it hard to say Lycanthropes and just called them as simply werewolf's' Tairex insults 'You're always helpful aren't you Tairex' Nawin replies blankly before cutting off.

"It's what we call them these days a werewolf" Nawin explain to the Queen "Oh I see, so you must know what they are correct?" she asks "Yes and I know they are supposed to be extinct... from what I red about its history, is that the werewolf's population was growing exponentially fast that it once over populate the devil's even... which forced the devil's to ask aid to the other faction's to help get rid of all the werewolf's".

"Though the Fallen angel's and Angel's didn't aid because of the devil's asking, it was because they knew if the Lycanthropes birth more then it could cause danger to the whole faction's and the human world" Roseral adds "Though lots of those are half-blood right? Considering one of the main reason why they were able to grow so quickly is because they use humans to birth, then when the baby is born they abandons their human mate's and return back to their people with a new number to be added in" Nawin mutter remembering reading this from the dozens of books Azazel provided him.

"They are vulgar creatures and wild especially the half-blood one's... they have the tendency to loss control and attack randomly if the parents don't train them correctly" Roseral repeats her father words. "Though the one's that leaded the army was the purebloods correct?" Nawin ask receiving a nod from the Queen "And even back then werewolf's purebloods are rare considering a large amount of them were slain by Alucard when he awaken... the werewolf's and vampire never gotten along considering both of them were the strongest creature's back in the day, now there's none of them if you ignore the half-bloods".

"You sure have a vast knowledge about ancient history and creature's Makasha" Roseral compliment "That would be my godfather handiwork... well maybe not it's probably my mother who's behind this, she probably forced him to train me not only in fighting, but also knowledge in stuff like this" Nawin replies with a slight smile mentioning his mother.

"You have a wise mother" Roseral said happily "Oh she is... my mother is one of a kind and someone no one want to pick a fight with, but any let's not stray from the subject... so you think this nightwalker can be a werewolf?" Nawin ask.

"I have my reason on believing that it could be a Lycanthropes, because these lands used to have dozens of them roaming and making it it's home" Roseral adds surprising the Makasha "My parents and others were forced to drive them away though ended up killing most, some were able to escape and I believe their back for revenge... I've seen one of the victim's corpse and the way they were dealt with... it's possible to say it could be their handy work".

Nawin close his eyes thinking of the new info he is given before reopening them looking at the Queen questionably "If you strongly believe that this could be a werewolf work, then why haven't you inform this to your captain's?" he asks. "I worry that if words spread out that a Lycanthropes has surface it will cause panic everywhere and especially to the nobles who will just bring more headache which I don't feel or currently in right mind to deal with" Roseral inform rubbing her forehead and sighs.

"I'm guessing the nobles must know how dangerous the werewolf's can be right?" Nawin question "Yes they are the few people who helped my father build this place and is still alive to talk about it, though they have become too stubborn and prideful after all these years, but I guess it's life" The Bloodmoon reply.

"For now I suggest you keep this theory quiet, since it could be wrong... let me and the others handle this your highness" Nawin place his right hand on top of his chest and bow slightly surprising the Queen "I promise that I will do all I can to stop this creature from causing any more harm".

Roseral smile and nod "Thank you Makasha, it really eases my mind hearing that and I know you mean it" Nawin chuckle leaning back up "I can see you have some trust issues" The Queen blushes and laugh "Yes I have that bad habit, but it's useful when people sometimes try to use you and such" Nawin nod.

"Yes you need to be careful of those, well I'm glad we clear things up Lady Roseral... is it ok if I call you that?" he asks making the blond smile "Yes I'm fine believe it or not, but I'm not so fond of formalities, so Lady Roseral sounds much better than your highness or majesty... it gets old!".

"I can see that, so I'm guessing this stuff you wanted to show me is just an excuse?" Nawin ask "Not exactly... I do have something that will aid you and the others on this task, but it's in my room so please wait here for a minute ok?" "Of course". Roseral makes her way down the hallway while Nawin walk forward and leans on the golden handle bar staring at the beautiful night sky that shine from the dozens of stars.

"Hmm" Nawin pupil's slowly narrows thinking of a possibility of the mysterious nightwalker being a werewolf 'This could cause problems... with what Roseral said about her family droving the werewolf away centuries ago, meaning there's a good chance they have time to repopulate and plan to strike back...'.

Nawin looks at the trees 'If there's a chance of that being true, then we may need a backup or the whole captain's and soldiers may need to join the hunt'. "Meow" The Makasha snap his head down to see behind the window sits a black cat looking at him with its golden slit eyes.

Nawin look down at the adorable feline with calmness, but also slight caution feeling an unusual amount of aura flowing around it "Meow" The cat place it's right paw on the window looking at him with an unreadable expression 'Be careful' "Uh!" Nawin eyes widen slightly hearing a soft voice whispering in his head causing him to look around to find nothing, before he gazes back to the cat to see it has already left.

"This will prove useful for the task at hand, considering it will require you to search the vast lands in Shigemi" Nawin turns to see the Queen holding up a special golden ring with a moonstone place in the center that glows in variety of colors.

"What would this be for?" Nawin ask examining the colorful stone "Shigemi is a very wide land, there's tribes that lives outside the borders and special hidden passages my family placed magic illusions around the land for lots of reasons" Roseral brings the ring up looking at it fondly "This ring will give you the permission and authority to enter places that others aren't allowed and people will answer your question without hesitant considering this ring symbols you as one of my highest rank soldier similar to the captain's" she inform passing the ring to the Makasha who accepts.

"Glad to hear that" Nawin slide the ring to his middle finger "I was getting sick of guards questioning us left and right for the whole day" Roseral giggles hearing that "I bet, I know it can be annoying, but they do take their jobs seriously, so please if they ever annoy you just be calm, though with that ring they won't be questioning you anymore, but just a warning if you do anything suspicious they will take action, so please don't go thinking that having this ring will allow you to do drastic thing like breaking the law understand?".

"I prefer to deal this situation with much more quiet methods Lady Roseral" Nawin reassure "You won't see me barging through the victim's family house and demanding questions, so please don't worry" The Queen giggles "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that, but I'm glad you say that it eases my mind that you are open minded in this situation and won't act bashfully".

'This Queen is sure naïve... she seems insecure and overthinking stuff way too much' Tairex comment 'Clearly she has trust issues even with those people that are close to her... I wonder if that may have something to do with her past which we don't really know much off' Sairex replies intrigue with the whole situation.

Nawin hearing the two dragon conversation can't help but agree wondering what the Queen past is like 'Hmm the way she speaks about her husband back then' 'Having such power can turn good man... cruel'. "Well" Roseral claps her hand and smile "I feel much at ease leaving this task at your hands Makasha... please find the Nightwalker and end it" she said though with like beg tone in it making the Makasha raise an eyebrow.

"Don't worry Lady Roseral" Nawin reassure place a hand on his chest "I and the others are more than equip to take care of this Nightwalker, give us a day tops and I'm positive we will find something" he promises making the Queen smile with relief finding herself believing the Makasha words "I'll hold you to that".

Nawin turns around ready to head back to the throne room "Makasha..." he stops and turns around seeing the Queen holding her hands together looking down at it "About hatred... how do you dealt with them?" she asks catching him off guard not expecting this conversation would pop up again.

Nawin chuckle looking at her with slight amuse "You are asking the wrong person Lady Roseral... I have too much hatred in me, the different is that I know how to not let it affect my decisions, but at times I do lose control on certain stuff" The Queen notice the Makasha eyes darken for a few second before turning back to its normal stoic.

"But the different between your hatred and mine is simple really" Nawin states then turns around to resume walking down the hall "You have the choice of forgiveness to diminish that small hatred... after all when you really think about it, if your parents hadn't been banished from Vesarima then there would never be a Shigemi" Roseral stood still listening to each words carefully "Let that patty grudge go... I may not know the whole story, but I would think your parents has let that go since they found this wonderful place as their true home... for you to rule it to the right direction"

Nawin at the door and glance back seeing the Queen standing still in the same place clearly thinking over his words 'Huh... it's up to her now' he mutters mentally before entering back to the throne room.

Time Skip: Late Night

After finishing dinner, the Queen and her daughters retired to their chambers while Emyr lead the others out of the castle and stop in front of the entrance gate that is now sealed shut with knights standing guard.

"I hope you all enjoy this evening... it's rare for Queen to invite guest to have dinner with her, only a few worthy hand picks individual and captain have the privilege to have a meeting with the Queen like that" Emyr said turning around to the tired group. "It was awesome... I've never been so full in my life" Issei moans leaning onto Rias who pulls his arms around her neck supporting him up "You always go overboard with food Issei-kun" she states.

Nawin yawns "Is there anything else you want to discuss Emyr or can we leave" he comments boldly "No, I can see all of you tired so that will be all for today, for tomorrow I will leave you four to yourselves to search around Shigemi for clues on the nightwalker since you have all the information in that folder" Emyr replies glancing at the documents in the hands of the Makasha.

"What would you and your squad be doing Sir Emyr?" Akeno ask "I have some lead myself that I will be following with Elise, also I still have to teach her a few things about the squad, so I won't be free much tomorrow" he replies sadly before smiling and waves to the four "Anyway, I wish all of you a goodnight and please be careful on tomorrow search, there's lots of dangerous creatures in this land" with that said Emyr disappears in a gust of wind.

"Man meeting the Queen, staying in this unbelievable magnificent land, going on a dangerous quest to protect the innocent... it feels like we are in a movie!" Issei exclaim with a grin "You were great by the way in brokeback mountain Issei" Nawin comments "AHAHAHAHAHA!" Rias and Akeno both drop to the ground laughing while holding their stomach tightly.

Issei glares at the smirking Makasha with a full blush appear on his cheek in embarrassment "S-shut up Teme!" "Oh I thought you would appreciate it since all day we've been hearing you commenting nonstop about us being in some kind of a fantasy movie" Nawin reply with slight jest in his blank tone. "Anyway when you two are done laughing, we should head back to the Inn after all we need plenty of sleep for tomorrow".

"R-right" Rias giggles getting up with Akeno "We need to get as much sleep as possible after that long journey" she said before yawning making Nawin nod "Yeah". The four begin making way back to the Inn.

Magi Village

Hana sighs stumbling into a small village "Lost its trail... damn!" she suddenly with frustration remembering losing the monster trail at the forest "Guess I'll have to pick it back up tomorrow" she mutters calming herself and makes way to a decent looking Inn that's at the end of the village.

"What are you doing out alone at this time of night beautiful!" "Hey maybe she's looking for a good time!" "Bahahahaha!" a bunch of middle age drunks man laugh sited in front of their houses porch. Hana decided to ignore the comment and enters the Inn to be greeted by a busy bar filled with men and women seated on tables drinking away with others playing a game of cards or darts.

'Oh lord' Hana sniff and quickly form a disgust expression from the smell 'I hate my senses at times... oh how I wish I'm back at the human world' she thinks with slight depression, before making way to the reception which is place up at the upper floor.

"Hello Miss... oh my, please don't dress so revealing, you don't want to draw unwanted attention at this time of night" the young man receptionist advises seeing the green haired stop in front of the desk and quickly look down at her attire "I guess you do have a point and thanks for your concern... anyway I want to book a room" Hana ask making the brown haired nod "Of course, though can I ask what type of room?" "The best one".

"That would be a suite... Hmm it will cost a 1000 gold for a night" The young man informs looking down at the book that's filled with different room number and their prices "Here" Hana reaches inside her kimono and drop a pouch full of gold on top of the desk "Thank you very much, hope you enjoy your stay" the man said happily passing her the key which she thanks and leaves down the hallway.

Hana stop in front of the door "106" she uses the key and swings the door open showing a dark living room with the white moon shining through the windows. Hana steps in and close the door behind her "Huh" she sighs in tiresome removing her sandals and make way towards the bedroom to see a queen size bed "Might as well take a quick shower" she mutters sliding her kimono down and make way to the large bathroom.

After drying herself, Hana falls to the bed and pull the blanket over her "Huh" she brings her right hand up looking at the ring "I hope you're doing better in your end master" she mutters before falling into slumber.

Time Skip: Midnight

"Huuh" a long sigh release from the Makasha as he's currently seated at the balcony rubbing his tired face. Nawin glance behind through the window seeing Akeno sleeping peacefully hugging the bolster pillow thinking it's him "There must be some clues here" he examines pages that holds information about the victim's information, how they were killed, where they were found, their families, and their past.

Nawin takes a sip of hot earl gray tea and turns a page "Hmm" he pauses placing the cup down "Wait... The victims are usually found mutilated, but their blood also seem to be taken a massive loss" Nawin eyes slowly widen and turn to a page to the second victim.

"The victim was mutilated in legs and arms, by what looks like to be a sharp long claws, the scene was so gruesome that even veteran knights couldn't stench it, but what I found weird is that this victim like the first lost has lost a lot of blood... almost a full gallon considering what blood left in the crime scene is way less than what it should be... instead of a pool of blood with all the mutilation it was much smaller and from what we tested it seems the victim lost the blood before being mutilated" Nawin reads out the report.

"... It would take more than 2 liters of blood loss for humans to go unconscious though normal devils can withstand more probably around 3 liters... but the victim losing as much as a gallon of blood would send them into shock or death" Nawin close his eyes "So it means the victims must have been killed already before they were mutilated or they were unconscious the whole time while the creature was sucking their blood before cutting them into pieces".

Nawin grips the report tightly "This has vampire written all over it... but it doesn't make sense why would there be one here and Sayomi wouldn't be wasting her time terrorizing this place since it wouldn't benefit anything to her" he said leaning back at the chair and sighs "She could destroy this whole place if she wanted to, so it can't be her... then what? Another stray mindless vampire... No that make no sense, a mindless low-level vampire should be no problem for the captains here to handle".

Nawin throws the report down with the bunch of others "This is a much more intelligent creature... but maybe it's not even a vampire there are other creature out there that sucks blood. Vampires are just more well known for their folklore and infamous past of Alucard".

"Hmm... wait" Nawin glance down at the shining ring "There was also Roseral theory... a werewolf" The Makasha looks through the papers a bit more then suddenly stops "Something's not right here..." he's pupil narrows remembering the last corpse he found on the bank of a lake "That corpse didn't suffer blood loss like the other two's... there was lots of blood flowing around the lake and the ground, the only similar traits that corpse had with the previous two is being mutilated".

Nawin close his eyes and clench his hands together "What in the world are we dealing with here?!" reopening his eyes with frustration clearly shown in them, Nawin stares back down at the documents "Is it possible the last victim was killed by something else?... no it can't be, since the way he got mutilated was similar style to the other two victims"

"Nawin-kun?" a soft clearly tired voice whisper out making him turn to see Akeno opening the glass door "You should be asleep" he replies sternly. Akeno smile and hug him from the behind while leaning her head on his shoulder "You should be sleeping next to me" she counters "Yeah... I know, but I wanted to look through these reports" Nawin respond rubbing the raven haired hands softly.

Akeno yawns "Come now Nawin-kun you can do that later" she pulls him up gently "Come to bed with me, I always sleep better with you next to me" she pouts. Nawin smile softly "Ok you win" he mutters causing Akeno to smile releasing her hug allowing him to stand up fully.

Nawin place his hand on top of the files and teleports them back to the pocket dimension "Whao there" the Makasha smile feeling Akeno pulling him back into the room and shuts the door using her leg. "There, go to bed" she yawns pushing the black haired down onto the large bed.

Nawin takes his shirt off and throws them to the ground as Akeno crawls back to her side of the bed and lays her head on his chest holding him tightly. Nawin lay his head down on the soft pillow and wrap his right arm around the raven haired waist "Good night Akeno" he mutters, slowly closing his eyes "Sweet dreams Nawin-kun".
