Chapter 102: Is this really okay?
"Lady Gabriel, I'm now a direct subordinate of lord Azazel."
"Your unauthorized detention of me back to the church will affect the peaceful relationship that grigori, heaven and the church have built up over the years."
Raynare tried to use the influence of her leader to pressure Gabriel into abandoning her decision to take her back to the church.
"Raynare when you trespassed into a church under our jurisdiction, you were sending a provocative signal to heaven and the church."
"Even if Azazel were here, it wouldn't be acceptable." Gabriel replied.
Before his fall, Azazel was a seraph just like her so she had no reason to fear him.
Raynare was speechless.
Having exhausted all other options, Raynare could only turn her attention to Issei.
She pleaded as she clung to his legs.
She used Yuuma's gentle tone and cried, "Issei, please save Yuuma. Yuuma doesn't want to go back to the church."
Although Issei had long intended to deal with Raynare, seeing her begging for mercy softened his heart.
Unlike the anime, where Raynare stealing twilight healing resulted in Asia's death and forced him to make a choice, he hadn't reached that breaking point here.
"Brother, can you let her go?" Issei unable to remain heartless asked Yasuhiro.
He didn't dare to ask Gabriel and could only turn to his brother for help.
Yasuhiro sighed, noticing a fleeting glint of smug satisfaction in Raynare's eyes.
If it weren't for the boosted gear residing within Issei, his soft heart would have gotten him killed a long time ago.
"Issei, don't forget, this fallen angel killed you back then."
"If Rias hadn't reincarnated you as a devil, you'd be dead by now," Yasuhiro reminded him.
The experience of being stabbed to death by his ex was unforgettable for Issei.
The feeling of getting closer and closer to death made him never want to face it again.
When he saw Raynare's pitiful appearance, Issei still couldn't bring himself to be cruel.
When he fought her earlier, he didn't think much about it, as his only thought was to vent his anger.
He didn't want to hunt down Raynare as he had previously stated.
"I'm not dead now." Issei muttered.
Raynare was also nodding frantically as she pleaded with Yasuhiro.
Her methods worked on Issei, but they had no effect on Yasuhiro.
If Yasuhiro encountered such a fallen angel back in europe, he might have thoroughly tormented her before finally hunting her down.
"Gabriel, is it alright to leave this decision to me?" Yasuhiro asked with a grin.
Gabriel nodded.
This matter was linked to his brother, making Issei one of the victims.
It was reasonable to leave it to them to handle.
Yasuhiro walked to Issei's side, squatted down and lifted Raynare's disheveled face.
"No wonder she could charm my foolish brother like that."
"Her face is quite pretty but the rottenness emanating from her body can't be hidden." Yasuhiro commented.
Faced with Yasuhiro's humiliating evaluation, Raynare could only force a smile in order to survive.
She had greatly underestimated the holy knight in front of her, never expecting that he would have connections with Gabriel.
Now, her life were undoubtedly in his hands.
"Issei, do you want her to turn back into the gentle and pure Yuuma?" Yasuhiro asked as he stood up.
"Well," Issei scratched the back of his head, not understanding what he meant.
"I can make her forget her past memories and become the Yuuma you remember," Yasuhiro patiently explained.
"Is this really okay?" Issei's asked in confusion.
