"As a matter of fact, my Peerage and I went to that factory and noticed that there were damages done to the factory floor that could not have been done by humans...would you happen to know anything about this?" the young devil asked with a sweet smile.
Naruto just sweat-dropped at her play of detective work. Oh well, he was going to tell her about the fallen anyways so it wasn't too much of a big deal.
"As a matter of fact I do...if you let me actually finish what I was about to say, I might actually tell you." Naruto said dryly, even though Rias' expression didn't change, her cheeks grew a faint blush from slight embarrassment.
"Now, I think you have a group of fallen angels squatting in your territory Rias-san." the blond continued cheerfully. The news though caused both Rias and Koneko who was nearby, to snap their attention towards Naruto. Rias stared at him in shock for a moment before sitting back down on her chair to process this information.
"...Are you sure about this Naruto-san? Are you absolutely sure that the destruction of the abandoned factory was done by fallen angels?" Rias asked seriously. That kind of firepower was dangerous in the hands of either of the angelic factions, their light energy was the weak points of devils after all.
"Of course I know, I fought them after all." the shinobi replied, once more both sets of devil heads in the room snapped to the only male in the room.
"You were there...? Please tell me anything you can about the fallen angels. How many were there? How many wings did they have? Who was their leader? Whose orders were they listening to?" Rias asked in rapid fire, Naruto just stepped back at the sheer amount of questions being sent his way.
"Wait wait wait! Hold on Rias-san! I was going to tell you what I know anyways! I mean this is your territory right? Besides I suck at politics and diplomacy anyways!" Naruto said frantically, while waving his hands in front of him. At this, Rias stepped back and took a deep breath, only then did she turn back to Naruto and ask again.
"I apologize for my behavior Naruto-san, please...tell me what you know." Rias said sincerely, which Naruto nodded to and started his tale of brief lack-of-ramen induced insanity.
Kuoh Town was an old place, a very old place. It has met its fair share of 'special' individuals throughout that history.
A certain fallen angel was determined to have history paint her as among the 'best'. The best there ever was among her kind. So she believed that she would be counted among those 'special' individuals in Kuoh Town among the supernatural factions.
Almost like it was destiny.
But she couldn't do it alone, she needed something that would elevate her position to far greater heights than she could have done by herself.
She believed that her daughter had such a capability.
Which was why she was staring at her right now.
Thus two pairs of violet eyes were staring at one another across a broken table, in a run-down church.
"...What is it you need okaa-sama?" Raynare asked with a slight bow of her head. Her mother was a proud woman that would accept nothing less.
Even from her daughter. Especially from her daughter.
"I want you to surpass me. But that will not happen in a long time...too long, so I need to accelerate your growth rate." Vretiel said simply, but her words caused her daughter to flinch. Raynare was really young by fallen angel standards, practically a baby. Yet her mother expected her to become her successor ever since she was a child, it was absurd!
But in the end...she couldn't help but want her mother's love and respect again. According to her elder sister figure, her mother used to genuinely act 'motherly' towards her...but something happened. Something changed.
No one knew what exactly, but her mother soon began to push Raynare to become strong, far stronger than any fallen before her.
Stronger than even the great Azazel-sama.
She wanted that kind mother that she apparently had before...and she didn't care what she had to do to get it. Even if she had to follow her mother's insane ideas.
But still...
"Is this plan of yours really going to work mother?" Raynare asked with uncertainty, it was never tried before after all. How can a supernatural contain a sacred gear artificially? It was a power granted by God Himself onto human souls, it simply wasn't meant for individuals like her unless she was a human prior.
"Don't you worry about the details Raynare, I know what I'm doing. You will surpass me, one way or another. This is simply one of the most efficient ways to go about it." Vretiel stated without care, what was one human life to her? Nothing. But if one human life would give her daughter the power to stand by her side once they inevitably took control of the fallen angel faction...
Then life well spent.
"Vretiel-sama." spoke a fallen angel woman with a form-fitting business suit. "The human has arrived in Japan, what are your orders?"
Vretiel just turned towards the younger fallen and gave out her order. "You will locate her once she enters Kuoh Town and bring her here. We will begin the ceremony once she arrives. Don't fail me Kalawarner."
The now dubbed fallen simply bowed and moved to leave the church so that she may complete her mission. Vretiel just looked at her daughter and then stood up in order to prepare for the ceremony...it would take a while for it to complete properly. "You have been a disappointment so far Raynare...I have risked a lot in you...don't fail me child." the elder fallen spoke as she walked underground.
The younger fallen just sat there with her eyes stuck to the floor as if it was the most interesting thing in the world before shaking her head and running towards the entrance. She eventually caught up to one of her closest friends and older sister figure.
"Wait Kalawarner-nee, before you go." the younger fallen said out loud before she caught up to her old friend. In response to this, Kalawarner turned around and smiled at her former charge now that they were away from Vretiel's eyes.
"Now Raynare-sama...I could have sworn that Dohnaseek and Mittelt taught you about the social standing of an heir of a future member of Grigori when compared to a mere servant. You really should stop talking to me with such familiarity ojou-sama." Kalawarner said with a small and warm smile. Raynare just rolled her eyes at her former teacher's words and admonishment.
The three 'friends' that her mother wanted her to save were her mentors and caretakers when she was just a baby. Besides her mother they were all she knew.
She almost lost them all to the human at the factory.
They all almost died.
