C 157

“So the guy we are looking for is supposed to be evil right?” Heather asked.

“That's right.” Layla said as they made their way towards the church in Kuoh. She could sense the alternate versions of her four most disappointing siblings inside.

“Are you sure? Because this town isn't on fire or anything like that. Does an evil guy really live here?” Heather commented. “Like, how do we know he's evil?”

“Because Lady Death said so…” Layla said as they reached Kuoh church's front door. She was getting a sense of deja vu. Layla realized she probably should have gotten some more details from Lady Death about her target. That's why she was here. The broker had sold her Raynare’s location with almost no hesitation. She wanted to interrogate her to find out more about this world’s Issei.

With a grin that she got to do this a second time, Layla raised her foot and kicked it forward. The rotten double doors blasted off their hinges and flew inwards. There was a loud crash as they collided with the far wall and fell apart.

Unlike the previous time she was here, the church was mostly empty except for four individuals who were all gaping at Layla's entrance.

Layla frowned when she saw the four people. They didn't look anything like she thought they would. The four ‘Fallen Angels’ in front of her didn't look Angelic at all actually… They looked like three regular human Japanese women and one man. All of them had the unmistakable aura of a Fallen Angel though…

“Weird…” Layla muttered as she walked in. We're these four not the same group she was looking for? Or maybe they were just created to look different here?

“Who the fuck are you!? Why are you kicking in our fucking door you moron!? You could have just walked in! It wasn't even locked!” One of the shorter women yelled at Layla and Heather. Both of them were taken aback by the language!

Heather recovered first and grinned cheekily! ”Yeah, but then it wouldn't have been a cool entrance!”

Layla could recognize that foul mouthed tone anywhere. “Mittelt?” Layla asked in confusion. The only Fallen she remembered that had a mouth like that was the blonde loli…

“Yeah I'm Mittelt! Who the hell are you!? And where did you get such a beautiful vessel?” She asked. The other Fallen were all nodding along at her words.

“I must admit that I am jealous that you found such a perfect looking human host.” The man added. His eyes were raking up and down Layla’s form and she was doing her best to not immediately stab him for it.

“…I'm Layla. And this is my own body…” She said. “What are you talking about?”

[Host, I think you’re in a universe where Angels don’t have physical forms. They can only walk around the Earth if they possess a human vessel. That’s why that Fallen Angel Broker was ugly earlier.]

‘What kind of ‘Supernatural’ knock off crap is that!?’ Layla exclaimed internally.

“You're body? But you feel like a Fallen like us?” The man asked.

“Hold on!” One of the other two Fallen women interrupted. “You're Layla!? You stole my Sacred Gear extractor from me! I had a great plan and everything to make us all some serious money!” Layla suspected this one was Raynare. It was really weird looking at some random woman's face and visualizing Raynare in her head.

Layla shrugged at the accusation. “I paid for it with my own money fair and square. It's not my fault your broke ass tried to buy it on credit!”

“Didn’t you steal that gold you used earlier?” Heather asked.

Layla did not respond to that question…

“Whatever…” Raynare scowled and crossed her arms. “What are you doing here anyway?”

“I want any information you have on Issei Hyoudou, the Red Dragon Emperor.” Layla stated.

The four Fallen Angels all blanched and their faces all turned pale. Layla raised a curious eyebrow. She wasn’t expecting that kind of reaction.

“Ok! Now that’s the kind of reaction I was waiting for. This guy must be pretty evil to have four Fallen Angels looking so scared.” Heather said.

“You don’t know the half of it kid!” Mittelt said to Heather.

“What!? Why do you want to know about that lunatic? Why would you think we know anything about him!?” Raynare spat out.

“This is his hometown isn't it?” Heather asked for Layla. Layla had given her a bit of a run down on their target. He was apparently a shameless pervert in most realities who enjoyed peeping on girls and violating their privacy. He was also never punished for his actions which just emboldened him to try again and again. Heather was planning on hexing him immediately if she ran into the guy.

“This is his hometown!?” Raynare asked in panic! “We've gotta get out of here then! He'll hunt us down and kill us all for encroaching on his territory! We were just here because Azazel detected another Vitra Sacred Gear holder lived here! We weren’t expecting to deal with the Red Dragon Butcher!”

[Red Dragon Butcher? That’s one edgy moniker right there!]

Layla was now officially lost with whatever was going on in this DxD universe… She watched from the side as the four Fallen started frantically running around at human speeds. They were quickly packing up all their items and personal effects scattered around the church. They didn't even put any of it in any magical spaces either. They just slipped it all in regular backpacks. Could they not use magic in those human bodies?

“We have a car parked around the back, if you want to leave with us.” Donaseek said to Layla and Heather.

“A car? Why not just teleport or fly instead?” Layla asked. She knew she hit another verbal landmine when all four Fallen turned and glared at her!

“Are you trying to be a bitch! You know damn well none of us can fly. All of our wings were burned away when we lost in the rebellion!” Mittelt exclaimed. Her scowl then changed and she had a look of painful longing on her face.

“Burned away?” Layla asked. That sounded horrible! She couldn't even imagine such a thing being done to her. An Angel’s wings were their identity!

None of these four had their wings anymore? And they were all forced to live in human hosts!?

…This universe officially sucked!
