Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Sirzechs Suspicion!
"Half-success?" Valian blinked. "What do you mean, Rex?"
"What I mean, Valian, is that all the rouge Fallen Angels were killed." Rex replied.
"I only had to kill one of them, it's presumably that the other three were killed by someone else." He shrugged.
"Anyway, as you can see, I was unsuccessful in saving the young nun's life. She was dead before I got there." He looked over at Asia with a slightly sorrowful look in his eye.
Palutena wrapped her arms around Rex, and pressed her lips against his neck, gently.
"Don't blame yourself for this, Rex." Palutena whispered. "You didn't have any hand in her death."
"I know." Rex replied. "But-"
"We get it, Rex." Akasha replied. "You have a thing for keeping the number of unneccesary deaths on missions involving you at a big fat zero."
"She seems freshly dead." Palutena walked over to Asia and looked carefully at her. "Want me to tend to her? Try and bring her back?"
"It'd do a lot for my conscience." Rex replied. "Thanks, Palutena." The green-haired goddess picked Asia up, and silently walked back into the villa. Rex looked after her, before Akeno pressed herself against his back, and kissed his neck.
"Rex~?" She asked. "Are you going to come and swim with us, now that you're back~?"
"Oh, yeah." Rex replied. "Might as well. It's an amazing day. Coming, Val?"
"Nah." Valian replied, walking back into the villa. "I'm gonna go back to sleep." Rex shrugged, and retreated into the villa himself.
Five minutes later, Rex was back outside. This time, he wore nothing but a pair of board shorts, which were as black as Akeno's hair, with a silver trim on them.
His silver hair was still tied up with the golden headband, as he always did, and had always preferred.
His very strong, chiselled body, which looked, in Palutena's eyes, like he was meticulously hand-carved by Ishtar, Cliodhna, Aphrodite, Rati and Freyja (the Babylonian, Irish, Greek, Hindu and Norse Goddesses of Love, respectively) was also there for all to see, which Penemue, Akasha and Akeno all appreciated. Particularly Penemue.
"Rawr~" she gave a playful growl, and pressed her breasts, which were pretty much bare, against his own chest. "Let's have some fun in the water, Rex~"
Penemue, a grin on her face, pulled Rex into the water, and held him close to her, while pressing her lips against his in a passionate kiss.
Akeno and Akasha were all too happy to join in as Rex returned the kiss, and his hands automatically moved down to Penemue's ass.

A crimson-coloured magic-circle opened, and Rias Gremory emerged from it, in the small, yet extravagant, house that was the personal residence of her older brother, Sirzechs Lucifer.
Almost immediately upon entering the residence, he heard two voices coming from the lounge, and so she made her way there.
It was the day after the incident with the Fallen Angels in Kuoh, and after Rex had shown up. As per his request though Rias had no idea who this 'Rex' was, though felt that she, somehow, had to fulfil his request.
When she reached the door of the lounge, which was closed, she knocked, and was told to enter from the inside. And so she did.
When she entered the lounge, she saw four individuals sitting or rather, three sat, one standing, on two sofas, each perpendicular to the other.
The people sat on the sofas were Sirzechs Lucifer, her older brother and one of the current Devil King of the Underworld, Millicas Gremory, Sirzechs' son, and Serafall Leviathan, another of the Four Devil Kings and Millicas' godmother.
The person who was standing behind Sirzechs and Millicas, was Grayfia Lucifuge, Sirzechs' wife, and the mother of Millicas.
Sirzechs was a handsome young man, appearing to be in his early-twenties, with shoulder-length crimson-red hair, and blue eyes, just like Rias.
He wore attire that one would expect to be worn by royalty, which wasn't inaccurate.
Millicas was a cute young boy, appearing to be around six or seven years old, with the same crimson-red hair as Sirzechs, though his was a lot shorter than his father's, and red eyes, inherited from Grayfia.
He wore a white and red shirt, along with dress trousers and shoes.
Serafall Leviathan was a rather short, yet beautiful, girl, looking to be around the same age as Sirzechs though one wouldn't have to be idiotically stupid to think that she was a lot younger than that, given her height, with long black hair, tied into twin-tails, and blue eyes.
She had large breasts, despite her childish body. She was dressed in magical-girls' clothing, magic-wand and all.
Grayfia was also a beautiful woman, appearing to be in her early-twenties, with silver hair and red eyes.
Her hair, which would, if left free, hang all the way down to her back, featured a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends, which the rest was let down, ending in twin braids.
She wore a blue and white French Maid outfit, with long sleeves, and a white maid headband over her head, with red lipstick as a cosmetic accessory.
All four of these Devils looked up as Rias entered the room.
"Oh, Rias." Sirzechs happily greeted his little sister. "What a pleasant surprise to see you here this afternoon."
"Hey, Auntie Rias!" Milicas greeted Rias happily, to which Rias offered a smile in return.
Serafall also gave a smile to Rias in return, and Grayfia looked as emotionless as she did while on the job as a maid.
Sirzechs noticed that there was something rather... off, about Rias' smile. And that, in Sirzechs' mind, wasn't good at all.
"What's up, Rias?" He asked, immediately. "Is anything wrong? Has anything happened in Kuoh? Was it the Fallen Angels who you reported to me about yesterday?"
