"Yes, as you said I revived you with one of my Evil Pieces and made you a devil. " The girl clarified.

"With this process you can make those that you reincarnated into your personal peerage. "

Yes, she told him that, when a devil reincarnates another one with their Evil Pieces, they turn into one of their peerage; having a bond with their leader or savior, so to say. They are tied to them as long as they live.

"You're now tied to your master and the devil society!" Momo's words from that day resonated within him. She was right.

Was this the right choice? He was now a servant, the freedom he once had no longer in his grasp.

"Shinji?" His mind returned to reality as a voice called his name, a worried Rias was touching his cheek. "Are you okay? You zoomed out while having a worried expression there.

"

"Yeah, don't worry Gremory-san. I got lost thinking about something.

" The teenager smiled while scratching the back of his head, reassuring the girl.

"Okay, but if anything bothers you tell me okay? I'll do what I can to help you. " Said Rias while turning back to her desk.

"Lets resume where we left. Shinji, when someone is resurrected as a devil by the Evil Pieces they made a pact to stay by its master's side.

That is until they have matured enough to control their powers alone or rise to a High Class Devil. " Rias explained again how the devil society worked.

"But-" She continued, "-There are times when a servant rebels against his master and betrays them, be it killing them or fleeing from their peerage. "

Koneko twitched as Rias spoke.

"You see Shinji, the ones that betray their masters are called 'stray devils'; these beings often cannot control the powers they were given when reincarnated and thus, become corrupted from it. They run around berserk killing anyone and anything that stands in their way.

"

"Such is the fate of the one that killed you. " Finished Rias.

The teenager was shocked. 'She? A devil? It can't be.

But, it makes sense too. .

'

Shinji couldn't believe it, if she was turned into that because of not being close to her master, what would happen to him if he just walked away from Rias? Would he turn into that thing too?

"I don't understand, if she just walks away from her master and starts killing people, won't you do anything to stop it?" He asked. He was still confused as to how the devil society worked.

"Yes. You see, when a devil becomes stray all the other devils are ordered to inform if they spot it and kill it if need to.

We also don't become responsible from the harm it may do to the other factions or if they kill him before us. "

"That's what we'll do today. " Said Rias as she finished explaining her servant.

"You see Shinji, the one that attacked you has committed serious crimes against us devils. Stray Devil Perse, being reincarnated into one of the Valad clan she soon went berserk and killed her master and comrades, escaping before the authorities could get to her.

"

"And she made it to Kuoh. " Thought out loud by the teenager.

"Yes, two months ago she made herself into Kuoh, provoking chaos everywhere. We devils residing here were assigned by our Maous to stop her before this could escalate to more catastrophic levels.

"

"And who is she? Was she human before being reincarnated?" Asked Shinji.

"No, we don't know much about her since the Valac clan decided to not respond to any questions we made when his son was killed. " Said Rias as she sighed.

"But from investigations it's known that she is the daughter of Echidna, the feared monster of Greek mythology. "

"Oh wow so she's a monster after all-wait, you said Greek mythology? They actually exist?" Asked the black haired teen.

"Hmm? Why yes, you see, just like the biblical factions, all the mythological gods are real. Take the Greeks or the Vikings for example.

" Responded Rias as she was surprised his servant asked such an obvious question.

". .

. you are saying they all exist? Like, for real, for real?"

"Yes. Is there something weird about it?"

The teenager just looked at her like she was crazy, you can't just tell someone powerful beings that science can't explain exist so casually! The hell's wrong with this place!?

"I can't believe it. " Finally said Shinji as he reclined on the sofa, letting the information sink in.

"You'll get used to it eventually, Shinji-san. " Commented Kiba from the place he was resting, feeling a little empathy for his friend.

"Yeah, I don't think so. " Responded the teenager as he recomposed himself on the couch.

"Anyway, you know where we can find her?"

"Sadly, no. " She responded as she sighed again.

"She is too fast when she moves, the last time we found her was just by coincidence. We all know how that ended by now.

"

It was time for the teen to sigh. Yes, she was referring to when he jumped and got stabbed by that freak.

Not his best idea if he could say, but he got out alive, being as weird as it was.

"So what's the plan then?" He asked. "Are we gonna sit down and wait until she pops up?"

"No. " She firmly said, her eyes looking at him again.

"We'll go out tonight and search for her, we may find her somewhere in the city streets. We need to stop her before she causes more damage.

"

As they all nodded their heads, a phone started to ring. The black haired teen picked it up and awkwardly laughed a little while shutting it off.

"Sorry, that was the alarm I set up to go to work. " He said while scratching the back of his head.

"I'm sorry I interrupted you now Gremory-senpai, but may I leave to work?"

The girl in front of him blinked a few times, then she smiled at her servant.
