What was on her mind, was a subject that involved herself and Great Red. If pushed further, it could possibly involve her mate as well.
"I, shall converse with Baka-Red." Ophis stated as a black aura covered her body, allowing her to transport to another location.
Realm of Heaven
"Huh. So this is the café?"
"Hmm. Do you like it?"
Issei didn't know what to say. He had been to a number of cafés in the human world, but neither of them were as clean as the one he was currently in.
With his hand clutched within Lilith's grasp, Issei sat down in the booth with Gabriel. Sitting down, Gabriel sent Issei a smile.
"What do you think?"
"It's uh, a lot cleaner than the ones I've been to."
"Shiny…" Lilith said as she looked at her reflection from the table.
Giggling at the second Ophis' antics, Gabriel placed her hands on the table and locked eyes with Issei.
"Issei. The reason I've asked you to come here was because I wanted to thank you."
Issei rose an eyebrow.
"This is the first time I've met you. So why are you thanking me?" Issei asked.
"For preventing another Great War." Gabriel answered.
This answer piqued Issei's attention.
"Great War?"
Gabriel's expression became solemn as she gazed at Issei.
"Many years ago, the Angels, Devils, and Fallen Angels were in constant tension. We, Angels were under the rule of the Biblical God, the Devils with the Four Great Satans, and the Fallen Angels were in the organization known as Grigori."
Issei listened intently to Gabriel's story. Lilith's eyes started to flutter as she was beginning to fall asleep from the story. Gabriel smiled as she saw Lilith lay her head on Issei's shoulder.
'It seems so empty compared to Ophis, but I think it loves Issei just the same.'
Moving her attention back to Issei, Gabriel explained the rest of her story.
"The Biblical God was the original creator and leader of the Angels. However…"
Gabriel paused as she tried to compose herself.
"He perished in the Great War between the Three Factions. The Four Great Satans perished as well, which caused the Great War to finally end."
Gabriel's eyes then narrowed as she gave Issei a stern expression.
"The Fallen Angel known as Kokabiel wanted to start another Great War, Issei. And in doing so, he sent three of his followers in order to steal the three of the seven Excaliburs."
Issei widened his eyes at the information.
'Excaliburs?'
"The current leader of the Angels, my brother Michael, sent two exorcists to retrieve the Excaliburs. After so many days, Kokabiel was supposed to show up to your school and engage in a battle with the Devils, and Michael's exorcists. But according to what I have heard, Kokabiel never showed up to the battle."
Issei remained silent as he felt this situation was somewhat similar to the conversation with Serafall Leviathan.
As he looked back to the sleeping Lilith, Issei was caught off guard when Gabriel suddenly leaned forward to give him a soft kiss on the cheek.
Leaning back, Gabriel flashed Issei a warm smile and folded her hands on the table. Issei widened his eyes and rubbed his cheek.
"What was that kiss for?"
"Fufu." Gabriel giggled as she covered her mouth with her hand.
"It's like I said, Issei. For preventing another Great War."
Issei blinked several times and got ready to answer, until he felt someone pulling on his clothes. He looked down and saw Lilith pulling on his clothes in order to get his attention.
"Lilith?"
Lilith tilted her head as she gazed at her progenitor's mate.
"I, am hungry."
"Fufufu."
Issei turned to look at an amused Gabriel.
"I'm feeling a little famished myself. What would you like, Lilith-chan?"
Lilith tilted her head again.
"I, want free-"
Issei widened his eyes and covered Lilith's mouth before she could say anymore.
"She'll have doughnuts and cookies." Issei amended for the second Ophis.
Next Day at Kuoh Academy
Vali Lucifer stood silently as he floated above the buildings of Kuoh Academy. Jutting out from his back was a pair of silver-blue Dragon wings.
According to Azazel, the school was where his destined rival attended his classes. He could already sense Issei's immense power, and in his own sense of honestly, Vali couldn't help but become interested in fighting him.
(I sense the Welsh Dragon within this boy, Vali. It will be very interesting to meet my rival after all these years.)
"Humph. From what I heard from Azazel, this guy sounds like a worthy opponent."
"Worthy opponent? That's a nice thing to say."
Widening his eyes, Vali turned around to see the wielder of the Red Dragon Emperor himself, standing on top of the school flagpole.
Instead of his usual Kuoh Academy uniform, Issei was dressed in a black jean jacket, a red t-shirt, black pants, and brown dress shoes. He had his hands in his jean pockets as he looked curiously at Vali.
"Issei Hyoudou."
"Vali Lucifer."
Vali narrowed his eyes as he sensed another presence. He turned to see Ophis herself standing on top of the flagpole next to Issei's own.
"…Ophis."
"Vali." Ophis said before she gave him a sly smirk.
(Ddraig. It has been a long time.)
{Indeed it has. Albion.}
Issei and Vali locked stares as they each sensed each other's power.
"It's a nice school, Hyoudou. How long you been here?"
"Not too long." Issei said as he shrugged.
"I assume you know who I am?"
"The Vanishing Dragon. Ddriag's mentioned you a couple of times."
"This is the second time we've seen each other, Hyoudou."
"…How's Kokabiel doing?"
"Azazel sealed him within the deepest part of the Underworld. We don't have to worry about him screwing things up."
Issei nodded as he tried to ignore the intensity of Ddraig's aura. Vali kept silent as he looked over to Ophis, who kept her emotionless stare.
"I didn't expect Issei Hyoudou to be in contact with you, Ophis."
Ophis gave Vali another sly smile.
"Issei belongs to me, Vali."
"Hmm." Vali hummed as he looked over to Issei.
"You seem to attract a lot of beings, Issei Hyoudou. What kind of person are you?"
Issei shrugged again as he balanced his position on the flagpole.
