The groups proceeded to the abandoned Church on foot.
Two girls were in front of the groups, giving some instructions to their subordinates. Jin and Issei were behind them, looking at the Devils with interest while observing them.
"Hey, Nii-san. Why is Koneko-chan looking at you so intensely?" Issei whispered to Jin with his hand covering his mouth, doing his best to not be heard by the others.
However, Devils had a devil's ear. They could even hear something from afar, according to Kalawarner. So it was rather useless to try to be so discreet. Maybe because Issei didn't know about it, he tried his best to whisper in a voice as low as possible.
'Well, I only knew about it a few days ago. Thankfully I didn't say anything unnecessary in front of the Devils. However'
Jin glanced to the front and noticed the short girl with white hair glancing at him before throwing her face away. Not in embarrassment, but in a wary way. Like a prey who met her predator.
'It's true that she acts strange. Especially when she looks at Issei and me. Is there something that she felt? Something that the other Devils can't feel from us.'
Because Jin knew about the Devil's exceptional hearing, he answered Issei playfully.
"Maybe she's interested in me? You know that I have a lot of fans from underclassmen too."
Thankfully, his little brother was an easy guy. He was a little smart, but he could sometimes be a bit of an honest idiot that was true to his desire.
"That's true. Even a Devil can't resist your handsomeness. I am jealous, dammit!"
"I told you to mind your appearance since we were in middle school, oh foolish little brother."
"My bad, okay? I don't know that you can be so different from me just by taking better care of your body!"
"That's called effort." Jin sneered, making fun of Issei.
At that moment, someone from the group purposely walked slower and approached the brothers. That someone was the only guy among the Devils, often called Prince of Kuoh, and had similar popularity compared to Jin, Kiba Yuuto.
The young blonde devil looked at Jin curiously.
"What are you guys talking about? Ah, I forgot about it. I am Kiba Yuuto. Nice to meet you, Hyoudou Jin-kun." He smiled sweetly, the one he often used for girls.
However, Jin noticed something unusual about his smile. It seemed artificial. It was not genuine enough like Issei's smile, and it was even more artificial than the smile that he showed to the girls.
But that didn't matter to Jin in the slightest.
It was their first meeting. It was normal for people, or in this case a devil, to hide their true selves from the other party as they didn't trust each other.
Trust bonds could only be formed after knowing each other for a while. Of course, bond with his personal cow was an exception, but Jin still needed time to get the girl's agreement to become his personal cow nonetheless.
"Likewise. Also, we are talking about how to get girls for my little brother. Want to hear it?" Jin replied with a chuckle, which embarrassed Issei, who brought up the topic.
"N-no. I don't really need girls for now!" Issei shouted loudly in embarrassment, which gained the attention of the girls in the front.
Sona turned around with her sharp eyes and put her hand in front of her mouth.
"Sssh! We have arrived. Put your voice down!"
Jin looked forward and raised his head. They were right below the hill where the abandoned church was located.
The church itself was still a bit away. But the reason why Sona said they had arrived was that there was a Magic, Holy Energy, that surrounded the place. And Jin could feel it thanks to his skills.
'It begins, huh.'
At that moment, Rias turned around and crossed her arms under her boobs, bringing the mounds up in a jiggle.
"Well then, I will explain the plans."
"Yes, Buchou!"
Everyone from the ORC answered simultaneously, making Jin smile bitterly.
'Did they practice it beforehand?'

The plan that Rias had was simple. Sona and her peerage would create a barrier around the hill to keep the Fallen Angels inside and prevent innocent people from accidentally entering the area around the church.
Then Rias and the others would attack from two sides. Kiba Yuuto and Toujou Koneko would attack from the front, while Rias Gremory and Himejima Akeno would attack from the back side of the church.
Unsurprisingly, she didn't even count Jin and Issei as part of their forces, telling the boys to just stay with Sona because it was dangerous.
Jin followed what the red-hair said for now. As much as he wanted to join the fight, his goal was only to destroy the Fallen Angel and see the Devil's capabilities.
The energies inside the church were a lot, probably belonging to stray exorcists and the other Fallen Angels. They concentrated underground for some reason, probably waiting for Freed to bring Asia and do the ritual that Kalawarner talked about.
Talking about Kalawarner, Jin met her again in the house before they went to Kuoh Academy. He told her to bring the Fallen Angel called Miltelt to run as he probably couldn't even join the fight due to the Devil's arrogance of their strength, and he was correct about that.
Rias sounded so sure that she and her peerage could take care of the Fallen Angels themselves.
And only time would tell if her strength was really that enormous to back up her confidence and arrogance.
"We will put up the barrier," Sona said to Jin and Issei, who stood behind her while communicating with her peerage through mind transmission, often called telepathy.
Jin nodded his head, acknowledging Sona's words. He then looked at Sona extending her hands. A magic circle appeared in front of her hands, then an invisible force appeared and engulfed the hill area.
Looking at the barrier, Jin thought about how to get in without being found. As he wanted to get back at the Raynare personally, he would need to enter to do that.
'Well now How should I enter?'
