<NORMAL POV>
The raiders are divided into two groups. where they have to scout the base and hunt down any intruders roaming the city.
All in all, it took just 30 minutes to hunt down the roaming rogue exorcists. Their original plan was to surprise the enemy with this cleanup operation. But it didn't seem like that.
...
reconnaissance Location,
"How?" Sona asked as she approached Rias who was in deep thought.
"Well... looks like reinforcements have arrived and it was a bit more numerous than we expected. I rather suspect someone important is coming there. seeing the guard outside is quite a lot"
From a safe distance, they have been stalking the church from a distance.
"But there's something strange" Rias muttered which was heard by Sona.
"What?"
"There was a sign of devil energy that we encountered at that place…and it wasn't an ordinary devil judging by the amount of magic he had. It seems he is a noble of the pillars like us" Rias's speculation surprised Sona.
Huh!?...wait, let me process this information first As she said. Rias waited for her to finish digesting the information.
'If that's true…then it would be dire if this information were found out by outsiders. Otherwise public opinion about the pillar nobles would plummet.' Sona thought about what impact there would be if this information became known to the people of the underworld.
"By the way where is your pawn?" Sona asked when she looked around but couldn't find Issei.
"Ah...you're right, he might be a little late. That's the same thing with Piomu too" Rias asked around and after taking a look Yohan was nowhere to be seen.
'Is he still looking for enemies roaming the city?' Sona thought. what she thought was true.
'Then that's good...I was wrong to invite him who is still new to our world'
Sona was a little sorry for what was planned before. She originally wanted Yohan to be a support in their team but if she thought about it more maturely, according to her, she was wrong to put Yohan in this situation.
"I should have made him get used to it slowly" muttered her. a moment after she returned to her stern face again.
"Well... it seems heavy" Rias was concerned to see Sona who was dizzy thinking about the two people even though that included her too.
"You too" Sona replied.
Then someone suddenly entered the conversation and she was Akeno.
"Rias…the devil marks we detected before are starting to disappear" She gave a shocking report.
"So, that person is gone" muttered Sona, she was a bit relieved that she didn't have anything to do with someone who had an equal or higher standing than them in the underworld society. however, she still had to report this to Serafall to further investigate. who the devil was cooperating with this Fallen Angel.
Glancing at Rias who showed signs of the expression she was showing.
"Yes... this is our chance" Sona said, understanding the cold expression of her colleague.
It's time to do some real cleaning.

<YOHAN POV>
From a few minutes ago I've been around the outskirts of town and ended up in a quiet place very far from settlements.
"Why am I here?" Looking around, I there was no one. 'But what's even more strange is why is this person following me!'
"Nee...we're lost!?"Issei asked with a panicked expression.
"Errr...Mm.it's my fault. then you should have warned me about the road beforehand, this is your town!" I was a bit irritated with his.
"Huh?...you mean it's my fault?"
"Since when did I blame you?...listen, we have to immediately attack the location if we don't want something to happen! and stop following me!" I said to him.
"Yes" replied his. lowered his head when we ran to the foot of the hill from the location of the old church which became the enemy's base. but while we were on our way, Issei saw something and decided to stop.
"Hey...we'll be late soon! Also, what are you looking at?" Seeing Issei who was dumbfounded because he saw something made me direct my gaze the same as his.
What I saw was a bunch of devils surrounding them, no. were hunting someone. Even her clothes were foreign. Even her hair was blonde and she had emerald green eyes. She was short but had a beautiful face. She was running towards the hill forest. but seeing this incident we decided to help the woman first.
After all, I'm just a pawn. My role there might not be too important, but there's something more important, seeing someone's life being threatened, of course, makes my idealism about heroes come back to the surface.
"We have to save her!" Said Issei who immediately wanted to move after the woman.
But I pulled his hand to make him stop and looked at me with a confused expression.
"You have to tell this situation to the top, for she let me help her," I said making his emotions soar and angry.
"Hey! Do you mean to look good in front of that girl!? She's in danger now!"
"I know!..that's why only I can...listen. Don't be careless, I knew one day ago you were just a normal high school student without any experience but I'm different, at least I can fight and strategize quickly to balance the numbers." fight…and if I take you it only hinders me. my goal is to save the not to win. so you can trust me Issei" I said in a convincing tone even Issei looked complicated but a few moments later he finally decided after being frustrated for being a hindrance.
"I understand...and don't die, err-"He doesn't know me yet, I think every Rias will tell a story.
"John"
"Ah...John, don't die!" He said and continued his journey to the location of the church which was not far away.
I thought that I would just continue to be support, because my pieces are only pawns. But if this happens, like it or not, I have to fight too!
Also, the system considers this a mission.
[SAVE THE HOLY MAIDEN AND DEFEAT DIODORA ASTAROTH]
[PRIZE:5000 KP, 1 GOLDEN BOX]
The prize given is quite tempting because I haven't got a gold box yet, it makes me curious too. Besides, buying a box of chicks in the system is very expensive. The Bronze Box alone costs 5000 KP.
Forget it, I have to focus on saving that girl.
...
They kept running into the forest, fortunately, the forest was not wide but they continued to go in until they stopped.
"Don't be like that...Honey~" Said a man who seduces a woman called Asia. she is in a corner. since becoming a devil I can feel other devils. that can be seen from the magical marks that are issued. as well as the pure instinct to feel new energy signs.
