DxD: The Holy Knight!

"Is this the familiar forest?" Asia, Issei and Ruruko were visiting the familiar forest for the first time.

The tall trees and unknown vegetation looked no different from the plants in the human world.

Yasuhiro looked at the unchanging environment around him and thought to himself how it has been a long time since he last visited.

He'd secretly infiltrated the underworld before without its knowledge and brought along quite a few familiars, which were still being kept at the church.

Kouka felt uncomfortable and unaccustomed to the faint aura permeating the air.

Moreover, the presence of several beings only intensified her deep aversion to the place.

So, Kouka returned to her dimensional space.

"Oh, I think I saw a dragon. Strange, is it just my imagination?"

"How could there be a dragon in the familiar forest?"

A questioning voice came from deep within the woods, and the sound of footsteps grew closer.

Soon, a man stepped out.

"I've only accepted a commission from the Sitri clan. But there're also members of the Gremory clan here."

"Even if the two of you came together, I'll only complete the commission for one group." the familiar master stated firmly.

He held complete authority in the entire underworld when it came to familiars.

Authority sometimes meant arrogance.

Even knowing that it was Sitri and Gremory clans, he didn't have any intention of backing down.

This was the dignity of a familiar master.

His attitude didn't surprise Rias or Sona.

They'd met him many times and had a solid understanding of his temperament and behavior.

Since Yasuhiro claimed he could solve this problem, everyone present believed he wouldn't break his word.

"It's been a very long time, mister Zatouji," Asia greeted.

Rias and Sona looked at Asia with surprise.

They hadn't expected that even Asia knew this person.

"You're the saintess of the church!" The familiar master stared at Asia in shock.

He never expected to encounter the church saintess again in the familiar forest.

Memories that still haunted him kept resurfacing in his mind.

He looked around in fear as if searching for someone.

When his gaze shifted to Sona's side, a familiar yet terrifying figure came into view.

His eyes widened in horror, and he stammered out his words.

"L-lord Sai-n-, you've come here in person. I wonder what brings you here."

In his panic, the familiar master almost revealed Yasuhiro's identity, but he was stopped by a sharp look from him.

Seeing his reaction left everyone present somewhat confused.

This made them curious about what had happened between them.

The familiar master could even disregard the four great maous, although part of the reason was that the maous were too lazy to care.

"I'm just here to accompany them in securing their familiars."

"From what you just said..." Yasuhiro remarked.

A dangerous gaze was fixed upon him and the familiar master felt enveloped by the aura of death with various danger alarms continuously ringing in his mind.

"How could that be? It's my greatest honor to be able to secure familiars for these two beautiful ladies with my meager strength."

He uttered words of humility he'd never spoken before in his life.

He knew how terrifying the saint who embraces darkness was.

To put it bluntly, if he'd been even slightly forceful or acted with any dignity, he wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow.

This wasn't an exaggeration.

The other party could wipe him out easily.

And now he knew a highly important secret, a secret that could cost him his life.

He'd rather not have known it.

A wave of rumors had swept through the underworld, claiming that the heir of the Sitri clan and a member of the church had become lovers.

He previously disdained such rumors that sounded completely fabricated and absurd.

What a joke.

The heir of the prestigious Sitri clan, how could she possibly become lovers with a member of the church.

Just thinking about it made it clear that this was impossible.

According to some people, an influential noble clan was preparing to form a marriage alliance with the Sitri clan and the bride was none other than Sona.

This made the rumors seem untenable.

Seeing Yasuhiro and Sona together, his previous thoughts crumbled.
