Meanwhile, upstairs, the exorcists had been disarmed and bound by Juno's magic. I asked Rias what would happen to them now: apparently, they'd be sent to infernal courts and forced to choose between death or servitude. Some of those darker demons probably use them for research anyway.
Once everyone was restrained, Asia returned with Issei and Koneko carrying some of the captured exorcists and fallen angels.
"We're back!" Issei called out, tossing them to the floor, face-first. Ouch.
Juno swiftly bound the exorcists while Rias dumped a torrent of magical water on Raynare's unconscious face.
"Gurgle, ahhhh!"
"And how do you feel now, fallen angel? We met again. I'm Rias Gremory, heir to the Gremory line. We'll part soon, so what's your name?"
"...I am Raynare..." she gasped.
Yes! Her temporary status is gone, we've got her name.
"Now, Raynare, what were you plotting here? You say nothing? Then you'll be sent to the infernal courts. They have painful methods."
"Wait!!" Bashun! And she vanished under Rias's power.
"Now then... it's just the exorcists and Asia's future to figure out."
"What about Asia?" I asked.
"She's expelled from the church, and this incident makes it difficult to return. The fallen angels won't take her either. I can shelter her, if she stops being a sister."
No one can remain a nun under demon protection.
"Asia, what do you want?"
"…To stay with you, Issei-san."
Everyone heard her soft but firm reply.
"Me!?" Issei gasped. He can be slow on the uptake.
Rias smiled sweetly. "Demons have long lives. But you'll stay with him for a lifetime, if you choose. Become a demon, keep your personality and your holy artifact intact."
Issei and Asia looked at each other.
"You'd become a demon...?" Asia repeated.
"…Yes!" she answered. She had thought about it, then said it with determination.
"Asia!?" Issei silently cheered.
Turns out Asia was reborn by Rias's power as a "Bishop" piece. The Occult Research Club welcomed her as a member of Gremory's familiars.
"Issei, you take care of Asia now, okay? You're her senior," instructed Rias.
"Yes, ma'am!" he replied.
"Now, have Juno send the exorcists to Hell."
"Wait!" I piped up.
Rias paused. "Yes, Ikkki?"
"Can I handle their fate? Those ten made it personal."
She considered, then nodded. "Fine. You've already subdued most of them. I'll allow it."
Great. Time to make the call. It's late, but done. Their friends agreed to come, about four. Good.
Juno teleported the others to Hell. Issei, Asia, and I carried the rest to a nearby apartment, they were panicking, crying, praying, demanding death.
We reached room 206. Issei said, "Ikkki… is this really the place?"
"Yeah, he summoned us and fled out the door. I remember it."
We rang the bell.
Ding dong!
"Please come in~nyo!" A deep voice replied.
Rias blinked. These exorcists were yanking against magical ropes.
"Hello!" we called.
We opened the door. There stood Mil-tan, and behind, four towering gothic-loli friends, all cosplaying the magical girl Mil-tan. At over two meters each, they were intimidating.
Even Koneko's cat-ears and tail popped out at the aura.
"Eveningnyo! And, is that the demon from before nyo?"
"Um… good evening…"
"Is…Issei, is this one of the clients?" Rias asked.
"Yes, Rias. This is Mil-tan from the survey last time."
"Ah…" she replied.
Mil-tan declared enthusiastically: "I heard those bad brothers haven't reformed and are doing bad again nyo! Training is done, they didn't learn the wonderful Milky magic! But don't worry nyo! This time, they'll know the love of Milky until the end, they can't escape~nyo!"
I thought: okay, Mil-tan is pumped. Those rowdy girls nodded in agreement, I felt safe.
"Alright, Mil-tan-san. Teach them hope, dreams, and love," Rias instructed.
"Leave it to me~nyo!" she answered.
Bang!
And that was that, they'll never misbehave again.
I stretched, satisfied… but everyone stared at me.
"Ikkki, you a demon?" someone asked.
"What the—? The demon's you, aren't you?"
"Ikkki-sempai occasionally loses his mind…"
Koneko muttered.
"Rias, was what we did with the handover okay?" I asked.
"Yes. Let's wrap it up."
====================
After the fallen angel arc ended, when I returned home, Kuroka delivered a body blow.
"You suddenly had Gremory familiars appear in front of the house, I thought a hunting squad came!"
Looks like I owe my allowance to Kuroka next weekend.
The former exorcists underwent days of "brainwashing and love talk", and all awakened to true love (Milky style). They came to the Occult Club, apologized sincerely, and left preaching the love of Milky.
Asia was praying, "Love is powerful, oh Lord!", and promptly suffered a headache.
Meanwhile, Mil-tan & co. have formed a squad of fifteen buff magical-goth girls. Why did it come to this?
====================
Note: Accordingly, the ex-exorcists will be training in Milky magic (aka "physical love") and bulking up day by day.
