Chapter 5 - Under black wings

"What a wonderful day! That boy gave me a lot of trouble, but in the end it was worth it to see the stupid look on his face when he died." Late at night, a woman with black wings approached the church in a playful mood and soon descended into the basement laughing.

However, her mood changed as soon as she saw the scene before her.

"What the hell is this?" In front of her, her three subordinates were playing cards animatedly with a carefree white-haired boy.

She quickly retracted her wings, without anyone seeing.

"Full house!!!" He immediately threw the cards on the table and looked smugly at the others, who were shocked.

"No way! It's not possible! Another full house?! That's the fifth one already!" Dohnaseek looked at the cards in panic, sweat dripping down his face, and you could see that he was close to tears.

"I told you, it was obvious he had something." Mittelt, standing next to him, seemed to have expected the result, but still looked dejected with one hand on her forehead.She bit her own nails hard with frightening nervousness.

"What the fuck! I said what the hell is this?!" Raynare took a step forward, shouting, drawing everyone's attention. 

Dohnaseek clicked his tongue before looking at her angrily.

"What seems to be happening? We're betting and this bastard is going to take even my clothes this way! Kalawarna and I are already hanging by a thread!" Will, however, just laughed amused at the situation.

"It's not like I want your clothes, but if Kalawarna wants to bet hers, I won't stop her." Kalawarna took a deep breath and then made a decision.

"On the next round, I'll bet a piece of clothing!" Raynare seemed increasingly surprised by what was happening; the scene seemed simply too absurd.

However, he looked like an ordinary human, without even a sacred gear, and his subordinates were fine.

"You guys explain it to me later." Sighing, she just pulled up a chair and sat down next to them.

In a short time, she understood the gloomy expressions of her subordinates. She won some times and lost others in the beginning, but slowly the defeats became more frequent.

In the end, she only lost every time, but she couldn't stop.

"That bastard always has the best cards! It's not possible!" In the end, like everyone else there, she just kept playing to try to recover from her losses.

The night had been very good in my opinion, convincing the fallen angels to let me stay wasn't too difficult.

"I just think it's dangerous that they see me more as a pet than as a friend, hahaha." I laughed in a strange way.

Without a doubt, if I kept anything I won from the bets, they would kill me. So I had to give everything back after the game, which made me very unhappy, by the way.

Very unhappy!

I spent real luck on that!

But It had recovered a little....

Anyway...

We had no enmity, but we also had no reason to be friends. But after a few lucky tricks and a little pity for the homeless boy, they let me stay.

"From Raynare's words, I suppose Issei died recently. By now, he must be noticing the changes, and tomorrow he should learn about his new identity with Rias. Soon he will come face to face with Asia and discover the truth about the church." Replaying some moments, I soon realized a cruel truth: in anime, things happened faster.

In the real world, days pass until the end of a short arc.

Getting up, I headed for the exit, not intending to stay here much longer. My danger sensor had beeped a few times during the night and beeped more and more with Raynare around.

"Are you leaving so soon?" Kalawarna's voice echoed. Already a few steps outside the church, I looked at the door where the fallen angels were. From a common point of view, the whole situation was strange, and I should have questioned it more.

But the same was true for them.

"Yes, destiny is calling me to a new path. And I cannot deny its call. Please, beautiful maiden with hot and tempting divine curves, do not stop me or tempt me any further! My flesh is too weak to bear any more of this!" Hearing my words,She slowly pulled some of her clothing away revealing a little peek at her breasts.

"It's a shame we're outside with so many spectators. Otherwise you wouldn't have the courage to go out anymore." That damn angelic voice of hers was enchanting and her devilish ways only added to it. 

She laughed seeing my reaction, before letting silence take over and then asking me a strange question.

"You sound like a fortune teller talking like that, a traveler full of mysteries. The world itself seems to bless you at every moment, so I think I should ask you, mysterious adventurer." Her face became serious.

"Will our plan work? Will we succeed?" I didn't let it show, but many things went through my mind at that moment.

'They will fail and die…' I couldn't lie, I liked their company, somewhat megalomaniacal, of course. 

But still, I felt a strange connection with them, and I think they did too.

"What does fate have in store for you? Is that what you're asking me?" Smiling, I pulled a black hat out of nowhere and put it on my head, letting a black shadow hide my expressions.

[ +20 EXP received | Total Exp: 30/150 ]

"Eight of swords..." A common card came out of my sleeve, and I arrived before throwing it at them. "I would say that everyone who follows the flow of destiny is blind by nature, but you walk among the blades of death without knowing it at every moment.You laugh at the truth and believe your own lies."

[ +40 EXP received | Total Exp: 70/150 ]

"Open your crazy dreamer eyes before the blade of death reaps your lives!" New cards were drawn and thrown at them.

[ +30 EXP received | Total Exp: 100/150 ]

"You underestimate your opponents and praise your unfaithful servants, all of which will culminate in your defeat!" I gave them some time to understand my words, then I bowed slightly and soon said goodbye, following my path.

"This is the word of destiny." Dohnaseek stood watching, enlightened for a few moments like everyone else, until he realized where that hat had come from.

"Shitty kid..." He laughed.
