Jin secretly went downhill and then walked uphill again to meet Sona. He also brought two cans of coke in his hand that he bought from the nearby convenience store.
He did that to make Sona believe that he had disappeared because he had bought a coke.
A silly reason, but Jin didn't want to hear an earful from the strict Student Council President. He only loved her moaning, which sounded cute and arousing. Yes, he only loved to hear that kind of voice in bed.
Anyway, Jin purposely left his brother because he knew that some exorcists wouldn't be able to beat Issei. There were also Kiba and Koneko with him, so he would be alright. Not to mention, Rias had also arrived, and Jin saw her power directly to trust in her ability to protect the others.
Well, the main reason for his trust was the Dragon, Ddraig. The Red Dragon Emperor assured Jin that Issei would be safe. It didn't want to sleep for other centuries and wait for a new host, so it would do whatever it could to protect Issei.
'I believe the Devils won't do something stupid as forcing Issei to be a Devil, no?' Jin thought to himself as he walked leisurely. He saw Sona in the distance and smiled slightly; the girl wasn't alone. There was also another glasses girl with her; they appeared to be talking something with a loud voice.
'Look at her panicking.' He smirked and then intentionally stepped on a tree branch to get the attention of the girls.
Crack!
The sound was loud because Jin purposely stepped on a thicker branch. The girls in the distance turned around, and they noticed Jin. Immediately, Sona narrowed her eyes and shouted.
"Jin-kun! Where did you go just now? I thought you were sneaking in the barrier!" She sounded angry and worried at the same time.
"Hey!" Jin shouted back at Sona while raising the cans in his hands. "Want to drink coke? I suddenly felt thirsty and bought them from the nearby convenience store."
He definitely ignored some of her words. It was not important to him. A distraction worked like that. Answer a part of her words, then ignore the rest while giving her a reason to be relieved.
"You!" Sona wanted to give him an earful but stopped herself. Jin didn't go inside the barrier, so she was having a hard time thinking of a reason to give him an earful. Only, it was dangerous to go alone near the enemy's territory.
"I mean, why did you go alone without telling me? Where is your brother?" She asked as she stomped on the ground and approached Jin.
It seemed like the barrier could still be maintained without Sona. Tsubaki replaced Sona's position and held the barrier without even having trouble.
Due to being worried, her strict image crumbled down, and she put her face close to Jin while pointing at him.
"Do you know that we are in the enemy's territory? What if there is a Fallen Angel that's still outside the barrier? Won't you get attacked by them? Also, I wanted to ask this, but what is this wound on your shoulder too? Don't tell me that you were attacked before we met?"
"Whoa, whoa, wait a minute, Sona! If you are that close, you will kiss me accidentally, you know? Or what? Do you want to give me a kiss? I don't mind, though." Jin purposely diverted her attention after she asked about his wound.
"Wha-what are you saying?!" Sona finally noticed how close they were and stepped away a little. "Anyway, don't divert the conversation again! Answer me!"
"Well, if you demand an answer, then I will tell you." Jin threw a can toward Sona, which she caught easily. "But not here, okay? I will only tell you because I only trust you. Let's talk about that in my house." Then he threw the bait.
He wanted to settle it tonight. That was why he purposely didn't heal his wound with more Kalawarner's milk when he returned to his house. And that was also the reason why he used his Milking Room when it was near midnight and fought Raynare inside.
The fight couldn't be called a fight, and he had already secured all important things in the underground. Of course, he left the remaining of the Fallen Angel that he wrung dry in that underground to leave some mysteries.
"In your house? Fine. I will hear what you have to say." Sona smiled a little when Jin told her that he trusted her.
That meant he believed her to be a trustworthy person, more than her friend.
"If that's what you want, then I will let you off. Also, you didn't answer my question yet. Where is your brother?"
"Ah, about that." Jin looked at the church on top of the hill. "I think he went inside the barrier?"
***
Inside the church, Issei and the others had managed to kill all the exorcists.
Exhausted, Issei heaved a sigh. His Boosted Gear was already gone from his hand.
"That was hard!"
"Don't lower your guard yet, Issei-kun. There is still an enemy underground, according to Koneko-chan." Kiba said to Issei as he patted his shoulder.
"O-Oh, right." Issei replied with a stutter.
'Come to think of it. The one underground is Yuuma-ch No. That girl, huh?' Issei thought. 'I bet Nii-san has already taken care of her, but I should play along for now.'
[Indeed, partner. The Fallen has been taken care of since earlier. I can't feel her energy anymore.] Ddraig answered Issei inside his mind.
'I see. As expected, Nii-san is really strong, huh?'
[For a human, yes. But you can get stronger than him in the future.]
'Nah, I bet Nii-san will get stronger at that point too. Anyway'
Suddenly, at that moment, Koneko spoke to them.
"Kiba-senpai, Pervert-senpai. Rias Buchou is approaching here."
"Buchou? Then let's wait for her while resting for a bit. She will take care of the Fallen underground, I think."
Issei and Koneko nodded their heads. Issei only played along, so he didn't really mind if Rias or the other arrived. Rather, more people were better as he would be less suspicious. At this moment, he knew that Jin had already run away to safety and found some excuses.
Two girls entered the abandoned church from the backdoor a few seconds later. When they saw Issei, Rias smiled and spoke.
"Ara, look who we have here. Are you coming to help us, Issei-kun?"
"No. I only want to see the bitch who wanted to kill me die with my own eyes, that's why I am here." Issei answered calmly, but his tone was mixed with anger.
"I see." Rias only said that and understood what Issei thought. She didn't ask him anymore and turned to Koneko. "Where is she, Koneko?"
"Underground, Buchou." Koneko answered, and Rias replied with a nod.
"Then let's go. We should end this and return to the Academy. I bet Sona has been waiting for us."
The group then proceeded underground through the stair near the destroyed statue. Before long, they arrived at the underground. There was nothing there, but one thing caught their attention.
"W-what is that?" Kiba muttered in horror as he saw the scene.
"This is bad." Rias frowned.
"Ara, it seemed like a crazy person had arrived first before us," Akeno added.
Issei couldn't say anything. The scene in front of him was a definition of horror. A familiar face in the middle of the underground; it belonged to the girl who approached him.
But it was only that. A head. In fact, it was put on a stake, pierced to the neck to keep it standing. Red filled the area around it.
'Nii-san has gone too far.' He said to Ddraig.
[Your brother only did the right thing. I think he wanted to show you the cruelty of the Supernatural World. If you get involved too deeply, especially with a Devil, then that could happen to you anytime, partner.]
'Is that so? This world is dangerous.'
"This left a bad taste. Can I destroy it?" Rias turned to Issei and suddenly spoke to him, the victim of the said woman who had left with only her head in the middle of the underground.
"Yes, please." Issei nodded and looked away. "I-I can't stand looking at her."
"Very well." Rias answered. Then she pointed her finger toward the head, sending a ball of Power of Destruction to it. Instantly, the ball destroyed the head and left nothing behind. "Let's return."
With those words, the group went upstairs again and walked back to Sona and the others. In their way, no one spoke a word. The cruel sight left them speechless in consideration to Issei, a normal human who got involved just a few days ago.
