Chapter 41 - Ophis

The next morning, Azazel went to the student council room. He arrived in front of the door and knocked.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in"

Azazel went inside the room after he heard the words. He saw Sona and her peerage with Ulquiorra standing beside the window.

"Good morning Azazel-sensei" Sona greeted Azazel.

""Good morning Sensei!"" The others also greet him.

"Good morning" Azazel greeted back.

"Why are you here, Azazel-sensei?" Sona asked. She was wondering if their artificial sacred gears were ready.

"I'm here to talk to Ulquiorra" Azazel said to her.

Ulquiorra turned his head whenheard his name being mention. He looked at Azazel with a questioning gaze.

"Can we talk outside?" Azazel said in a serious tone.

Ulquiorra nodded and he started to walked. He left the room with Azazel following him.

"..." Sona looked at their back before they left. Azazel-sensei look serious just now. She wonder what they will talk about for him to have that kind of face.

...

At the rooftop of the academy. Ulquiorra and Azazel was standing next to each other.

"Tomorrow I'm planning to call a visitor to Hyoudo residence. Vali said to me that you'll take care of it." Azazel said while looking straight ahead.

"Vali said that?" Ulquiorra said as he looked at Azazel.

Azazel looked at Ulquiorra and nodded, "Yes, He said you'll take care of the problem."

"I see" Ulquiorra nodded.

"The visitor will stay at Issei's house. You'll go there with me tomorrow." Azazel said.

"I know, but who is this visitor you're talking about?" Ulquiorra nodded and asked.

"You met her before, it's Ophis the leader of Khaos Brigade." Azazel said to him. He looked at Ulquiorra's expression to see how would he react but what he saw was the same plain expression.

"I see, so Vali want me to guard this Ophis" Ulquiorra nodded. He met Ophis before at the Underworld when Great Red appear.

Azazel said, "Yeah. Something is happening right now in their organization."

"We don't have any place to stay here in Kouh so I pick the Hyoudo residence well it's also lively there and Ophis wish to see the Red Dragon, but, first I need to tell this to Rias and the rest." Azazel said as he turned around and walked away. He raised his right hand and said, "See you later."

Sona greeted him and asked curiously, "Ulquiorra what did you talk about with Azazel-sensei?"

"It's about the visitor in Hyoudo house." Ulquiorra replied.

"Hmm... " Sona just nodded her head and didn't asked anymore question.

Tsubaki from her side looked at Ulquiorra before she turned her head to Sona. She opened her mouth and asked, "President, I just noticed that your always asking Ulquiorra or should I say you're always curious about what he do"

"Eh?! Is that so... " Sona looked at Tsubaki. She pondered and noticed that she always asked Ulquiorra what he did or do.

'Well, if you know his story you'll be curious too.' Sona thought.

...

Azazel went straight to Hyoudo residence after he finished talking to Ulquiorra. He heard that something happened to Koneko as they already called him. He was going there might as well checked her condition.

...

"So this is the mating season of Nekomata, huh." that's the first thing Azazel said when he came here after receiving a call from the other members. After that he called Abe, the beast tamer, and had her look at Koneko and she told us her diagnosis.

Koneko is in her room right now and sleeping calmly. Abe specially gave her medicine that suppressed her instincts.

The Gremory members who live in Hyoudo residence and Azazel gathered in VIP room.

"Mating season, huh... " Issei mumbled.

Azazel said, "Nekomata go into mating season after a while when their body become developed enough to bear babies. In other words the instinct of Nekomata makes them want to bear babies. Those parts are similar to cats. And in Nekomata's case, they choose a males of different species they take a liking to. In other words that's you, Issei... "

"Me...?" Issei pointed at himself and Azazel nods.

Azazel continued, "Koneko is a rare Nekomata, Nekoshou. I think it's a good idea to make offspring. And if that is the child of Red Dragon. But this time, it is a bit.... "

"Koneko is a bit too small" Azazel said after making a sigh.

They continue talking about what should they do to Koneko. After an hour of talking they decided to not give Koneko a medicine as it will affect her in the future. Issei just need to endure Koneko's seduction at the same time suppressing his dėsɨrė too.

"Okay. Putting that aside, can I talk to all of you?" Azazel said to them with a different tone. He looks serious now.

"Tomorrow I'm planning to call a visitor to this house. Rias... I want to get you approval for this."

"This is my first time hearing about this. It's pretty sudden." said Rias.

"Yeah. There is something about this thing... " Azazel wore a more serious expression. "You guys will definitely feel dislike towards this visitor. No, it won't be weird if you guys hold killing intent towards this visitor."

Everyone was shocked at Azazel's words and they look at each other.

'Vali team?' Issei thought.

"Issei, you know the group that came into your mind? That's half correct." Azazel looked at Issei and said.

"...! Sensei, Vali and others are coming here?" Issei asked.

"Vali is a terrorist. We cooperated at once, but if they have business here again then it's obvious that we will be prepared to fight. But I have to say that I don't think we will hold killing intent towards them immediately. From my personal views they are enemies but not like the Hero faction. Just meeting them will be..." Rias said.

Azazek scratched his cheeks at her words. "Regarding the team Vali, I know you have an unclear relation to them. It's just that.... . There's something I can't say right now. Please wait till tomorrow morning. You will know then. But my wish is you guys don't attack the visitor. That's all. It's enough if you guys listen to the visitor's story. If it goes well, this meeting can change the balance greatly. Tomorrow morning, I will come back here again. That's why..."

Everyone look at him in doubt. They didn't who is coming here.

Azazel exclaimed suddenly, "That's right, I forgot one thing. Ulquiorra. Leave it all to him. He will be guarding the visitor tomorrow."

"Eh?! Ulquiorra?!" Rias was surprised.

"That's right. So don't worry about anything." Azazel nodded.
