Hello guys, welcome back to another chapter!
This chapter won't be anything serious, just my attempt to make a comedy chapter with a bit of slice of life in it.
There will be surprises every now and then, but enjoy!
I do not own anything from Highschool DxD, Fairy Tail, and Fate series. Only things I have claimed are OCs.

[Lucy Ashley POV]
I wake up slowly, like my body's reluctant to admit it's morning. My mind floats in that weird, blurry space between sleep and whatever comes next. Then the alarm buzzes—sharp and insistent—and I blindly slap at the nightstand until I find it. Silence.
For a moment, I just lie there. The room is dim, but not dark. Slats of sunlight stretch across the ceiling like lazy fingers. I can hear birds, faint and far away, and the low hum of life starting outside my window. My bed is warm. Too warm.
I lift the covers only to find another blonde with two fox ears of smaller height right next to me not disturbed by the alarm.
"Oh, it's just Kunou."
Looking around the room, trying to recollect what happened yesterday. As I do that I let out another yawn.
"Alright, I remembered, this is the apartment me, Rias, and Rossweisse managed to snag."
As I slowly ease my way out of the bed, making sure not to wake up the girl. The bed creaked with every moment, making that task ever so difficult.
"We were lucky that it was the last day, it was going to end by night, and we almost didn't get it."
I managed to get one foot out and onto the floor, a little while I slithered off the bed.
"Phew."
"Then again, we were kind of preoccupied with where Sento was dragging Macao, that's what his name was right?"
Quietly, I sneak to the other side of the bed, picking out a fresh set of new clothes to wear. I turn to find myself next to Kunou again, sleeping almost peacefully.
With her cute fluffy looking ears, adding on to her adorableness.
My hand unconsciously reaches out to try and pet them, but I come to my senses and chastise myself for it.
"Stupid! You almost worked the girl up."
Going back to my memories, of when my mother once gave me a huge dog plush. Sir Puppington was… memorable.
Anyways, I make my way out of the room, the hall that leads to the living room. I look towards the couch, finding a huge blanket covering Rias, who appeared to be awake as well. She appeared to just be minding her own business.
I whisper to her slightly." Good morning."
Rias noticed my call and responded in kind.
"Good morning Lucy."
She shuffles a bit to throw off the blanket she had on, leaving her naked on the couch.
Literally… She has no clothes on.
My face flusters a bit.
"Where are your clothes!"
"Oh, it's just in the corner there."
She points in the corner—a little too quickly— and her chest starts to jiggle distractingly. I shake my head a little to help focus, and turn to the corner where a bundle of clothes were.
"Is… anyone else up?" I'm asking to stay distracted, from Rias being … well you know.
"Sento and Xenovia are already up, Sento went for a jog around town and Xenovia went to pray at the cathedral." Replied Rias as she goes around to check the fridge in the kitchen. "Oh sweet, it's full, best deal ever, it really was worth all that bargaining for this little place."
Despite Rias's… lack of dress she was right. While I am happy that we don't have to sleep on the street, there were still some issues with this place.
There were only two bedrooms…
Me and Kunou decided to sleep together and take less space, Xenovia won the rock-paper-scissors to the other bed, Sento decided it was ok to sleep in a CUPBOARD of all things, and Rias and Rossweisse slept on the couch.
"Gods, and then Vali will be coming back from that monster… wait?"
I look at the couch, and yet there's no Rossweisse. " Where is Rossweisse?"
Rias closes the fridge with a grin on her face, she walks towards the couch, and crouches over and grabs the ledge and pulls it open, showing Rossweisse in the hidden part of the couch all crouched over.
I look at Rias, trying to figure out why she was in there.
"There's only room for one person, so we did the rock-paper-scissors again, and I won! Hehehehehe." She cackles, the motion causing her assets to acquire motion.
You know what that's a future Lucy problem, current Lucy needs a shower.
I turn around and head to the bathroom, I take my own clothes off and start the shower.
While I couldn't hear, Rias outside looked down before putting a hand on her chin."She hasn't said anything about me not wearing clothes? I guess it's not weird in this world."
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[Earthland POV]
Lucy had just finished taking a shower, finished drying up and placed her new clothes on. She opened the door to have the smell of something good coming through her nose. A little look in the kitchen showed that Sento and Xenovia had returned and he along with Rias—thankfully dressed—finished making breakfast.
"Good morning Lucy." I hear Rossweisse who appears to be awake now, sitting on the table with a plate of two scrambled eggs and bacon that looks to be done just right. She had a book in her hand, seemingly enjoying it.
"Morning, what'chu reading?"
"This is just an official study on the bouts of lost magic."
"Lost magic?"
"Apparently there's magic so dangerous that it's almost never used at all, a sort of Black Magic so to speak."
"Could there really be magic that is that dangerous?"
"Oh, there are tons of things that could be harmful to the user if not handled carefully, it doesn't even have to tie in with a certain type of magic." Sento mentioned, as he brings his own plate of food.
"Almost every thing that ties in the use of magic is on the basis of equivalent exchange, to give something to get something of equal value."
"I never thought of it like that."
"Most people don't Lucy, or just want to, to keep the mystery of it safe."
"The mystery of it?"
"Where I'm from, it's better for people to not understand what magic you're capable of, to help strengthen it."Sento takes a bite out of his omelet, seemingly enjoying his meal.
"Well, if people don't know what you can do, then of course you can pull a surprise off them."
Sento swallows his food to explain further." Yes, there's that, but there was also, ironically, a certain science behind it." He looks towards Rossweisse." Does the book explain anything in a scientific way? Like how it would work without magic?"
Rossweisse looks back through her book, quickly flipping through to find anything related to the question.
"No, not really."
"Do any of you know why?"
Xenovia, who hadn't spoken up, decided to lay out her thoughts. "Not really, I don't usually understand most of this magic mambo jumbo."
"You don't know much about magic yet join a magic guild?" Lucy mutters.
Rossweisse was thinking about the question, going through her options on what the answer could be.
" Could it be to stop people from utilizing the full aspect of magic? No that falls into keeping it a surprise."
The Valkyrie kept on thinking about what the answer was. However, she couldn't come up with anything.
Lucy couldn't think of anything either, though she doesn't know much about other magic than her own.
Sento chuckles. " The reason for it is because it's magic."
…
…
…
"THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN!?"
Sento falls backwards due to the onslaught of the girls' voices. Despite being down he gets up and laughs.
"Girls, what is the first thing you think when you hear the word magic?"
The girls look towards one another, coming to one conclusion or another.
Which was none.
"Magic… magic gives us the ability to do what can't be done."
Lucy speaks up, getting everyone's attention, she continues. " When we think of magic, we think of something that can do anything, that lets us be free from the reality of the world."
"And why is that Lucy?"
"Because… we believe so, of how unknown magic is in the first place."
"Exactly, that's how the mystery of magic works. At the start of time, when humans saw something they never understood, their imagination will call to magic the ability to do the impossible, humanity itself will fill in the gaps of what they don't understand with belief and imagination."
The girls were a little surprised with how deep magic went, more so the DxD girls.
"Guess magic's not different from devil power."
"Just as I put my faith in the Lord."
"Wow, you know… that kinda correlates with-"
Their thoughts were broken as the door opened with Kunou, hair all messed up, yawning, her eyes were a little droopy, her stride a slow and wobble.
"Morning everyone."
"Morning!" Everyone said to the kitsune.
Sento went up to grab a plate for her. "Hey Kunou, we got eggs, bacon, and could throw in a little salad."
"Eww, no thanks." Kunou says as she makes it to the table causing the man to chuckle.
As he gets her plate together the other girls try to change the topic.
"Soooooo… Xenovia, how was the cathedral?" Asked Lucy.
"Oh it was wonderful, I didn't think the Lord's presence would reach a place like this."
Rossweisse finished chewing to give her thoughts on it.
"I admit it was a shock to find Christianity here, leaves me to wonder about if other religions from back home are here."
"Oh? Do you girls mind telling me about yourselves along with that?"
Kunou had no problem with that so she started first." Well, I was born on September 9th. Mommy leads the Shinto faction in Kyoto. She's super busy, but we always spend some time together."
Sento comes back with a plate ready for Kunou, he sets it down and the kitsune enjoy the smell it has.
Rias went next." I guess I'll go. I am from a… long line of rich people, yeah that's a good way to say it. I am… was the head of the Occult club at my school, the only members were from my peera… peers. Close peers of mine"
"Sounds like you were close to them."
"I was… it's a little hard without them." Rias said, thinking about her peerage, then later on her family and friends… And then she shakes it off, not wanting to think about it anymore.
Lucy, seeing Rias's reaction, decided to back off, not wanting to cause any further unease. Rossweisse decided to tell a bit about herself.
"Well… I was mostly raised by my grandmother in the countryside, my parents were rarely home due to their jobs. I've spent the entirety of my life studying all kinds of magic, since I… couldn't learn my family's specialty."
"I have spent my entire life in the Church, I was raised and trained to be an exorcist in the name of the Lord. There's nothing else I do except training."
"Oh, well, what about you Sento? What's your life about?"
"Yeah, we don't know a lot about you either." Rossweisse said.
"Me? I'm an accident."
The girls stop and choke on their food… except Kunou who had no idea of what the term even meant.
"I'm sure God had something for you." Xenovia managed to say once she finally got that bacon to stop blocking her windpipe.
"I… ended up in an amazing place when I was young, met the best person who was more like a father to me than my actual father." He says as he finishes off his plate.
"Amazing? How much?" Kunou said, with two-thirds of her plate finished.
"Well, everyone there was famous in some way or another, I wanted to be famous too I guess, so the guy I mentioned asked some friends of his to help me prepare for the real world."
"Must have been exciting. To be tutored by the big shots in your town."
"Nah, it was hell all over, training to be someone who goes beyond the norm was pure torture." He says as he lays back on his seat, sinking into it." Most of those people have egos too big to be dealt with, along with people who are too crazy for normal people to understand."
The scene causes the girls to chuckle, with Rias teasing a bit. "Wow you seem to have a lot on your plate back then."
He scoffs." If only you knew, if you met them you would wonder why anyone was still alive."
He knew why they were alive, you can't exactly die there willy nilly.
And at the mention of that place he remembered a few… unique farewells from his teachers.
"I'd expect a marvelous performance when you return, otherwise you will face consequences. I didn't waste my time on you for fun now did I?"
"Be thankful I tolerant you long enough mongrel. "
"I suppose I'll have to up your training if you can't do it, I wonder how a decade in the Land of Shadows."
"GRRRRR, grrr grrr."
"Don't worry about if you fail, I'll still sing you a song."
That last one was the worst of them in context.
"So, what do you guys want to do today?"
"Well, someone owes us a quest, after going off on a rescue mission."
"I had time, the place was nearby and I could get Macao out."
Rias was finished with her breakfast and went up to put her plate in the sink. "Well I think it was sweet of you to help that boy get his father back."
But he only waves her off." That's just that damn Emiya influence that stuck with me."
"Emiya?"
"No one important."
He finished his plate as well and went to put them on the sink as well. "If you girls are done, I'm taking the shower now, and then once everyone else freshens up we can go to the guild."
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the guild hall, we look upon Sento and Rias looking at the quest board, trying to find a job they could do.
"So, is there anything that caught your eye yet Rias?" He says looking towards Rias.
"Not really, to be honest I have no idea what to pick."
"Well, how much was the rent for the apartment?"
"70,000J."
Sento then looks towards the board, and finds a particular quest to go on.
"Hey, check this one out."
Sento grabs the quest he had in mine and shows it to Rias. It had the image of some kind of troll on it with the reward being 200,000Js
"Shirotsume Town, getting a book, 200,000Js!"
"Keeping rent in mind we could have over twenty thousand each."
Rias takes a closer look at the paper, and then looks at Sento.
"Is… that a lot?"
"I don't know."
"You go ask someone if it is."
"I'm not doing that."
"Why not!?"
"I'll look like an idiot."
"It can't be that bad."
"You never grew up in a normal neighborhood did you?"
"I live in a normal neighborhood, thank you very much."
"Apparently not enough."
"Look, maybe it is a lot, I mean look at the apartment we bought. Got to be expensive."
"That or it could just be the economy in the green zone."
"What are you guys arguing about?"
Kunou appeared along with Lucy, who noticed the quest in her hand and took a look at it.
"Stealing a book, why would anyone want that?" Kunou questioned, not seeing why anyone would want a book.
Books are boring.
Lucy on the other hand was smiling, seeing the reward money."Shirotsume town isn't that far here, this is basically a steal for us. Plus the 200,000J is completely worth it. "
She turns to the others who were sitting on a table, waiting for them to finish up.
Lucy ran towards them holding the paper." Girls, we got one."
As Lucy heads towards the others Rias and Sento just stand there.
"It's a lot then."
"Appears so."

Mission 2A: Infiltrate the Everlue Mansion!
The client wishes for you to sneak into the Duke of Shirotsume town and get a book.
Reward: $2,000,000J
Party: Sento Tengumaru, Rias Gremory, Xenovia Quarta, Rossweisse, Lucy Ashely, and Kunou
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Further on in the day the group is now heading towards where their client was, riding a carriage.
"So I know this is my first— our first job…"
Lucy then begins to speak, albeit with a little bit of caution.
"But why am I wearing a maid uniform?"
We look to see Lucy dressed in said maid uniform, with her hair set up in two pigtails.
Rossweisse decided to explain Lucy's situation. "The flyer mentioned that the mansion the book is at was hiring for a maid."
"…but why me?"
"They wanted a blonde one."
Rias tries to cheer her up." Come one Lucy, I'm sure you can pull it off, you're a beautiful woman, plus you pull the look off."
Lucy looked down at her uniform, looking over at herself."Do you really think so?"
"Yes, you look like someone who works under Grafiya."
"Who?"
Rias stopped herself, it was for a moment, but she picked herself again." Grafiya's my sister-in-law, she works as the head maid for her husband, a.k.a my brother."
"One of the four Great Satans, Sirzechs Lucifer."
Xenovia mentions as she has a rather grim look on her face. Which didn't help Lucy's shivering.
"The… Four Great Satans? That… doesn't sound nice."
"Xenovia don't scare her! My brother is a nice guy who loves his wife and child. Lucifer is just a title he got."
"Titles are gained from recognition of efforts, just to be called Lucifer of all things." Sento speaks up. "I'm just saying."
…
…
…
Rias closed in on herself." You're so rude." She mumbles.
Lucy, being the ever lovely good girl, tried to cheer her up." I think your brother is a nice guy, I'm sure I can get along with him."
Rias quickly hugs Lucy, happy someone gave her brother a chance. Lucy on the other hand than remembered something.
"Isn't Lucifer Vali's last name? Are they related?"
And that gave way to another thought. "I wonder how Vali is doing?"

[Vali Lucifer POV]
"HAHAHAHAHAHA"
In an area , filled to the brim with molten lava and pitch black rocks, laughter was echoing the land.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 2B: The Monster on top of the Volcano!
For a few weeks, there have been sightings of a notorious 'demon' that stalks the area. Vanquish this monster and put the people's worries at rest
Party: Vali Lucifer
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was flying with Divine Dividing, my wings standing out amongst the place.
On the ground below, lay an huge object, an amalgamation of the surrounding terrain.
However it was moving.
The monster stood around five meters high, bearing a look of what any human would think of as 'demon' with lava seeping out of its eyes and mouth, along with every odd crack in its body.
I lower myself to the ground, still hovering in the air just a step away from land.
While it was clenching on its last legs, I wasn't unscathed. In the beginning of the fight, it managed to land a blow every now and then, and my arms are a bit burnt from punching the damn thing.
"I enjoyed this battle, but it appears this demon is on its last legs, a shame."
I put my hand out as the white Lucifer crest shows, pouring magic into it I fire a blast that heads straight towards it. It shrieks as it collides with the blast, destroying it completely.
"The creatures of this world are a good warmup, it appears that I'm not that weakened, just unable to do a Balance Breaker for some reason."
I focus a bit and try to establish contact with Albion once more, and activate Balance Breaker.
I feel a surplus of energy as my wings glow with its growing white armor like plates. It extends from my body but only reaches to my arms, fitting firmly on my arms.
"Only this much?"
I dust myself a little bit as I dismiss my Sacred Gear, letting myself fully down from the air.
"I still can't speak with Albion, though I hear something in my head."
I turn around and leave the area I look around the destruction my fight caused.
"If this place wasn't a hellscape before then now it is."
As I keep walking I hear footsteps approaching me.
"HEY! YOU!"
I turn around to find a cloaked individual running towards me.
"I heard there was some demon running amok. I felt the magic in the area go off like crazy. Where is it?"
This guy is…
"I already dealt with it, that monster was an insult to devils everywhere."
The cloaked individual let out a chuckle
"Wow, you must have demolished that thing. Along with the place, someone might think your a member of Fairy Tail"
"I am."
"... Oh… That's perfect!"
Instincts born from years of training and battling awakened in Vali as he dodged to the side as a burst of wind went past him. The blast tears through the land as if it was made cut by thousand blades.
"I… really wanted to see how I do against them now, to no longer be on the sideli- wait? Are you even strong? I mean, everyone in Fairy Tail is strong but then Qeusezal said I can beat all the lower level guys. So are you a low level guy?"
"I'm not weak, and I'll gladly show you." Vali says as he brings out his Sacred Gear.
Before he charges. "Don't disappoint me, you better be a good fight after dealing with that 'demon' earlier."
The cloaked individual only smirks as he gets into a fighting.
"Aye s- I will, I won't let Quezezely's training go to waste!"
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[Earthland POV]
Back at Fairy Tail, we look to see a little blue haired girl with two other guys looking back at the board.
"Wait, that 200,000J job was taken? The one about the book?" She asked,slightly disappointed.
Mirajane, who was around the area, noticed the girl.
"Oh yes!" She asked as she was cleaning a few plates." The new girl, Lucy, brought it over so that she and her friends could go on it." She dumps the plates into a sink." It appears they're forming a team, well except the other guy, Vali I think."
The girl sighs." That's what I get for being indecisive..."
"I think it would be better if you didn't go on that quest Levy."
The group turns around to find Makarov sitting over at the bar. "I got a call from the client, let's just say things got a little complicated."
"Oh, is it canceled?" Mirajane asks.
"No, the reward was raised. Up to about two million jewels, or so I was told."
"HUH! That's over ten times the original amount!"
"Two million for a single book?" The boy with the hat said.
"That's something you can only get from monster subjugation quests." The other boy says.
"Looks like things are getting interesting with the newbies eh." Gray, who was listening in on the conversation, couldn't help but speak up.
"Oh, you sound almost worried about them, is the cold-hearted Gray finally melting?" A teasing voice to his side speaks.
"Shut it Cana!"
"Oh come on Gray, we all have soft moments, it's what makes you macho men so appealing to women."
It was small, but there was red on his cheeks, but he scoffed and looked away from her. "I ain't soft, just think they're going over their heads with this one."
"So, you're going to be their knight in shining armour?"
"Don't be ridiculous! New members or not their members of Fairy Tail now, they can hold their own."
"True, knights are more for someone like Erza or Miss 'Mysterious Heroine' out there."
She picks up her beer and walks towards the upstairs section, she turns around mid step and turns towards Gray.
"Or maybe anyone who wears any clothes at all, much less armor."
Gray looks down and finds that his clothes are gone, excluding his underwear.
"THE HELL DID THEY GO?!"
Cana laughs. "Still gets him all the time."
As she sits down at the lounge and starts to take a sip of her beer she hears something.
"Ky.."
"Huh?"
"Kyuu"
She looks around trying to find the noise, she hears a commotion around the quest board. Cana checked it out and found something pretty unusual.
"The hell is this?"
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Yes, I'm the client, my name is Kaby Melon."
The group is now sitting down with two new people, one was a middle-aged man dressed in a nice suit, wearing a red tie and a small cross hanging over his neck and the other was his wife, dressed in a blue dress.
"Hello , we are members of Fairy Tail who have taken up your job." Rossweisse asks professionally.
"And I thank you for that, though I didn't expect someone so young." He says looking at the group, mostly at Kunou.
"I assure you sir, we are highly capable individuals."
"Very well, I'll take your word for it."
"The job here is simple: destroy a book that resides in Duke Everlue's mansion. The books' title is Daybreak. It's fine to just incierate it."
"Destroy it? So we don't have to steal it?" Lucy asks
"I'm basically asking you to destroy someone else's property, so it technically is stealing either way."
"Excuse me , may I ask why you want Daybreak destroyed specifically? The reward money for this, isn't it a bit too high for just one book?" Sento questions.
"I guess I should explain, it would be very suspicious if you could get two million Jewels from a book."
The information caused everyone to be surprised, hearing about the reward gaining ten times more value was not what they expected.
Rias raised an important question." Why? Isn't the increase a little drastic, unless…"
She leans forward. " It's a cursed book right? A dangerous tome that a dark wizard has passed along right?" She says, a little too excited.
"Um, no, it's just a regular book."
…
"Oh"
Rias slumped down from that, but Lucy managed to get the conversation back on track.
"If it's not anything special, then why destroy it in the first place."
tightens his fist a look of hatred and disdain." I simply can't allow that book to exist."
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We stopped right outside the door where Lucy was all ready to get hired by Everlue.
"All right, you remember the script Lucy?" Rias said, as she was freshening up Lucy's dress.
"Sure, this will be the easiest two million in my entire life."
"Dear God, my ally has begun to sink into greed, I beg you to humble her before she falls even further."
"Very funny, Xenovia."
Rossweisse rings the doorbell while she and Rias go towards a bush where the others were at.
And once they were out of the way, Lucy began to act
"Excuse me! I came because I heard you were hiring maids!" Lucy calls out, her voice sickeningly sweet. "Is anybody home?"
Suddenly the ground behind her inflated, the tiles of the ground rising in the added pressure from below- then it bursts open.
A gigantic, very obese maid (with a cleavage window in her top for some reason) leaps out from the earth like a mole, landing on the ground heavily.
Lucy squeaks.
The lady straightens her posture. "Maid applicant?"
"Ummm, yes."
The gorilla maid turns around and looks towards the hole. "Master, there's someone that came for the maid position!"
And out came another huge figure out of the hole. This time a short and stout older man—whose face was similar to the quest flier— was playing with his mustache.
"Did you call for me?"
He gazed upon Lucy and went closer to inspect her.
His eyes surveyed every last bit of detail on her body, the constant sight making Lucy uncomfortable, but she still held through.
However the duke scoffs and turns around. "Rejected, go home ugly."
"Ug-!" Lucy is very, very offended, defeated by invisible arrows that hurt her right in the ego.
"And there's that," the large pink maid tells her, "go on home, ugly."
Another arrow jabs straight through Lucy's back.
"Understand? For a person as magnificent as I am," Duke Everlue turns around with a sneer, and a row of maids pop out from underground like a chain of utter clown shows, "only beautiful girls will do!"
And the four impressively ugly girls pose grandly, proudly, each one of them somehow looking uglier than the last.
"Bye bye ugly." All the maids shout as they, along with Everlue, go back through the underground holes, leaving Lucy behind.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"How long has she been standing there?" Said Sento as he came back to the forest everyone else was hiding out beside the mansion.
Xenovia who was watching Kunou try and comfort Lucy who was all curled up, crying, and letting out a whine every now and then.
"Two hours right now."
He only sighs as he approaches her. "Lucy, I know women can be vulnerable with their sex appeal, but you gotta get up."
"That's not the problem!" She looks up from the ground." That Everlue guy's sense of beauty is way messed up!"
"Sure, let's say that, can you get up now?"
"Sento is right, you have more than enough time to think about your punishment. We will accept you back in good faith."
Lucy only glares at Xenovia, who was having a little fun teasing Lucy.
"Shut it! Shouldn't you be against stealing in the first place, since you're Catholic or something?"
"Hmmph, While I do not take joy in stealing, Mr, Melon is a man of the lord and this 'Duke' has proven to be filled with lust. Henceforth I will gladly destroy this book."
Sento managed
"While Lucy was crying on the floor, me, Rias and Rossweisse scanned the area looking for a vantage point to enter."
Xenovia who had experienced similar missions like this(very briefly mind you) fell right back into the familiar feeling of entering a briefing.
"Have you found one?"
"Yeah, the only point of entry so far is a window on the second floor."
Xenovia walks to the edge of the forest, looking upon the Everlue estate, scanning the area.
"There aren't any clear ways to get up there, any ideas."
"How about flying." Rias speaks, along with the sound of flapping.
Everyone looks up to see Rias having two bat wings come out of her back.
"Whoa!" Lucy said, surprised. "Since when did you have wings!?"
"I always had them." Rias says as she reaches ground level.
"Rossweisse did another check and found no wards or bounding fields."
She stretches her wingspan to the limit trying to empathize with her wings.
"Who's ready to board flight Gremory?"
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In an office, Everlue, along with two shadows a few feet behind him. They were watching on the group, there every move documented
"More mages, even after all that failure from before?" He said as the camera zoomed in on Lucy's hand, the one with the Fairy Tail insignia on it.
"Fairy Tail this time huh? She was dumb enough to not hide it, but they should have at least sent some decent looking woman."
He goes on to take a smoke of his cigar.
"How should we kill them this time?"
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Everyone else is now entering the building thanks to Rias carrying them. Sento goes first and checks the he finds it clear he signals the others to come.
Kunou was the next person to enter what she assumes to be a storeroom. She looks around to find a nice skull, being the curious child she was, she puts the skull on.
The rest of the girls managed to enter Lucy being last, she wasn't paying much attention inside.
"All right, let's find-!"
So she was rightfully terrified as she backed straight towards a corner in the room.
"KUNOU! Sheesh, you scared me with that."
"SHHHH!" Sento said as he and Rossweisse clasp both of their hands over her mouth.
"Do you guys not know what being stealthy means?" Whispered Rossweisse.
"Sorry"
They all sneakily venture through the mansion, checking room for room.
After a while they searched half of the upper floor, a little displeased with finding nothing.
"Damnit!" Said Rias as they have nowhere to reach, anything that looks like a library."The hell is this book!?"
"Unfortunately I have to agree with Gremory." Xenovia spoke as she too was getting annoyed. "This heathen was far worse than I thought, not only indulging in lust but greed too. I can't allow this to go on anymore."
She was talking about the room that held a toilet with the Duke's face entirely made of gold. It was really disgusting.
"We still got an entire half floor to go." Said Rosswiesse.
Kunou was a little worried."What if we run into someone?"
"We knock them out quietly if possible, or we just stop hiding and destroy everything in sight."
"We can't do that!" Lucy whispers. "He's a duke, the military will get involved."
As soon as she said that, the five maids from earlier burst from the ground. "Intruder's detected!"
"Well in that case Lucy you better hope that guild mark is a good deterrent!" Sento says as he grabs his knives in a Wolverine-like fashion.
The four maids(excluding the middle one) looked towards Kunou, who still had the skull on. The sight caused them to jump back in fear.
"KYY AAAAAAHHHH! A GHOST!"
Xenovia took advantage and swung Durandal at them, a golden light emitted by it. The head maid jumped over it but the others weren't so lucky. The blast sends them to the wall, knocking them out.
"Flying Virgo Attack!"
The maid falls towards the ground threatening to squish them. Rossweisse, Rias,Xenovia, and Sento jump away with Lucy and Kunou tucked into both of his arms.
The maid lands on the ground,causing smoke to erupt from the ground.
"Uh oh, that caused a lot of commotion, we got to hide!" Lucy shouts.
"Too late they already know we're here, Odin I was so stupid to not check." Rossweisse berates herself as she grits her teeth.
"What's wrong?" Said Kunou.
The Valkyrie only points towards the corner of the ceiling, everyone looks to find a crystal moving in on them.
Rias realizes what that was. "Wow. Magic cameras, I didn't see that coming."
"No time to appreciate, we gotta find that book now."
Sento turns around to face the girls." Who knows how many more people will be coming, I need someone else to stay with me to hold them off while the rest go get the book. Forget about stealth, just find, destroy and leave."
Xenovia was the first to volunteer. "Very well, I'll assist you."
"Are you sure you two can take her on!?"
"Sure can, remember, I beated one just like her yesterday."
The dust clears and shows a hole in the ground.
"She's gone under! Get out of here now!"
The ground rumbles beneath him as the maid spirals out under him. She grabs his legs and takes him with her.
"SHIT!"
The maid slams him towards the ground making another hole.
Xenovia immediately charges after them." May God guide you all."
She jumps into the second hole in the ground that was made by the juggernaut cleaner, leaving the other four girls alone.
Rossweisse looks to find a door they haven't entered before, decides to take point and lead. "You heard him, as soon as we find it we go back and help them."
They entered the door and lo and behold, lies a huge library, something which they were very happy for.
"Alright!" Rias shouts." Now we can finish this job."
"But how? There's a lot of books here, this could take days!" Kunou whines.
Rias simply raised a ball filled with her Power of Destruction. "Well… we could just destroy them all."
"Well, I'll be inclined to agree." Rossweisse said as she held a glyph out.
"Wait, wait,wait! I don't think that's a good idea!" Lucy shouts in disagreement, drawing in the two, who dismissed their attacks.
Both turn towards her, while Kunou just walks up and takes a look at the books, picking them one at a time. As she does that the other three begin to argue.
"I'm pretty sure this is a good idea, we can't just waste time and look for it, now that we're discovered." Rossweisse said with her arms crossed, her head tilting left a bit.
Kunou finds a porno, but she tosses it to the ground among the other books she has taken out so far.
"Well… yeah but, that could lead to some serious consequences, Everlue's the duke of the town and if we just go and destroy the entire section of the mansion, this could come back to bite us later."
Kunou now found an encyclopedia about fish. She looks at it a bit, finding a cool looking snake like fish, but she closes it and sets it aside.
"Didn't you want revenge against him? What better way to do it than to destroy his personal belongings?" Rias said as she pulled another ball of destruction.
"We don't even know if it's even here."
"What does that mean? We are looking for a book and we are in the library, it should be here!?"
"No wait Rias, Lucy has a point, we don't even know what it looks like, destroying it all in one go without confirming it wouldn't help us in this situation."
"But there's so many books to go through! Sento and Xenovia are dealing with that humongous golem of a woman plus whoever else he has as security!"
"They can handle themselves, we can-"
"Yay! I found it!"
The three girls looked towards Kunou, who was waving a gold book with the title highlighted 'Daybreak' in her hands.
"No way!
"You found it!"
"That's… pretty lucky."
Rias grabs the book with her non casting hand. "Two million coming right up!"
As Rias brings her hand closer Lucy catches something. "Wait!" she interrupts, snatching the book off his hand- "this author… is Kemu Zaleon?!"
"...Who?"
"Kemu Zelon was a wizard and also a novelist!" Lucy explains, starstruck, "I'm a huge fan! I thought I'd read all of his titles! Does that mean this one is an unpublished gem?"
"Whatever, let's just burn it already."
"No, what are you talking about?!" Lucy holds the book protectively, "this book is as valuable as a cultural heritage, especially after he died so many years back! There is NO way we can burn this!"
"Book. Job. Money. Friends. Gym Gorilla. Outside." Rias empathizing the situation they are in.
"But this is the last copy in the whole world! If we destroy it I can never read it again!"
"Lucy! We can not just mess around while the others are in danger! So please hand over that book or Odin forbid I'll take it!" An angered Valkyrie says.
"So you were after Daybreak eh?"
A familiar voice was heard from the ground, gaining everyone's attention. They look to find Everlue half appearing from the ground. He flexes his magic and shatters the floor as he pulls his full body out of the floor.
Rias turns to Lucy, a frown apparent on his face as she chastises her. "Now look at what happened."
Meanwhile, Kunou looks at the ground. "Why did you do that to your own mansion's floor?"
Paying no heed towards the child as he chortles. "I always wondered what all those pesky mages were after but to think it was a worthless book of all things!"
This caught the girls attention.
"Worthless? paid an entire two million for this book, but he says it's worthless?" Rossweisse questioned
"Well, if it's worthless, then can I keep it?" Lucy said in a sweet tone, hoping to have it.
However, it only makes him snap towards her. "NO! What's mine is mine!"
Lucy looked down for a moment, as if debating something. She looks back with a determined face.
She immediately sat down, opened the book, grabbed a pair of glasses and started to read.
"ARE YOU SERIOUSLY READING RIGHT HERE!?" Everyone shouts.
"DON'T JUDGE ME! It's the last work of Kemu's I have to read it."
"Enough of this nonsense! Get your hands off my damn book!" He turns around dramatically, the bookshelves begin to part away as two figures appear from it.
"Come, Vanish Brothers!"
The two individuals reveal themselves from the shadows. One was short, bald-headed except for a long braid on the back of his head, carrying a rather large frying pan. The bigger one had tall spiky hair with several tattoos on his arms.
"Good afternoon." The shorter one said, with a slight bow in courtesy.

"That mark!" Rossweisse shouts as she notices their arm bands. "I looked into other guilds, those belong to a mercenary guild called the Southern Wolves."
Rias only smirks, flaring her devil power up a little. "Well, I guess we don't have any other way out of this, do we?"
Kunou on the other hand, lit her hands aflame, looking like she wanted to fight as well.
We hear Lucy giggle as she is still absorbed into the book.
"HEY!" The two siblings shout, not liking to be completely ignored after doing their cool entrance.
Lucy kept on reading, until she began to notice something odd about the book. She closes the book and yells towards the others. "Hey girls, there's something weird about this book."
"Huh?"
Lucy gets up and begins to walk out of the door, looking back at her friends. "Hold them off for a while, I think there's a secret in here."
Rossweisse sputtered a bit. "Wait, you're just gonna leave us?"
"You guys can take them on, all right bye." Lucy closes the door, leaving her friends wide eyed.
Though her words didn't just catch their attention, it also got the Duke's as well.
"A secret? Even though I didn't notice it, is there a treasure map or something equally valuable?"
The Duke begins to sink into the ground. "I'll go after the girl! You two deal with these ugly women."
Dario sighs. "Selfish clients tire me out."
"Agreed." Replied Xiao
"Crap! Kunou quick, go after her and watch her."
The kitsune nodded as she went after, the two brothers moved to intercept her only for a magic glyph to appear and throw lightning at them. They both managed to get out of the way as the bolt blasts the library, wood and material blown around the spot.
"I see." Said Dario as he gets into a fighting stance. "You're both Castor-type wizards."
Xiao on the other hand wields his frying pan in a swinging position. "We've been watching you with the surveillance lacrima, with three Holder-types and three Castor-types."
"Unfortunately for you, we are great at dealing with wizards." Dario says
The two girls were undeterred from that, Rias especially. "Well, unfortunately for you, you have to deal with the great aspiring wizard Rias Gremory!"
She begins to blast the two with blasts of pure destruction, the brothers looking at each other before only smirking. They both fan out of the way of their perspective blasts, and zigzag their way towards the DxD duo.
"Fairy Tail you may be but at your core your only wizards." Dario says.
"Well come closer and find out!"

Alright! The first part to the Everlue inflation mini-arc, sorry there isn't much going on, but I couldn't really think of anything serious to do here. I'll post the reactions of the DxD world next time
Next chapter we will deal with:
Rias and Rossweisse V.S The Vanish Brothers
Sento and Xenovia V.S Virgo
And finally Lucy and Kunou V.S Everlue
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I tried to make it more comedy/crack-ish for you all, nothing real serious.
Just so you know, I wrote the cloaked individual saying the name wrong on purpose.
Enjoy!
