Third POV
'Oh no!' Uryuu thought, as he stood there petrified.
"U-Umm...is something wrong...?" The nun's voice snapped Uryuu out of his daze.
"It's nothing."Uryuu slightly knelt down picking up the veil, pretending as if he wasn't left dazed. "So, Are you traveling?"
"No, that's not it. I was appointed to the Church in this town... I have been in trouble since I got here.Ummm...I can't speak Japanese that well." Uryuu handed over the veil to the lost Nun. " I was lost and other people couldn't understand what I was saying... You must be a resident of this town. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"I think I might know where the Church is." A voice immediately interrupted the duo, as Uryuu was contemplating the current situation.
Looking at the source of the sound, it was someone Uryuu recognised. A high school student of average height with short spiky brown hair, with two short locks of hair behind his head, and light brown eyes.
Issei Hyoudou, a fellow second year Kuoh Academy student and a member of the school's "Perverted Trio", a trio of the most perverted men in the entire student body.
Also the host of Boosted Gear, one of the 13 Longinus.Making him this generations Red Dragon Emperor.
"Y-You do! T-Thank you~! This is all thanks to God! " Asia says as she smiles at both of the Kuoh Academy students with tears flowing from her eyes.
A sudden headache assaulted the two devils following the nun's word.
On their way to the Church, the trio neared the park, which was in the way.
'I couldn't say no in the end.' Uryuu mentally berated himself as he recalled Asia's expression.'No it wasn't jus-'
"Uwaaaaaah! "
Everyone's attention turned towards a boy who had scraped himself after falling down.
Asia went inside the park and went towards the boy who is sitting down and crying.
Uryuu also followed behind the Sister.
"Are you okay? Boys shouldn't cry with a minor injury like this." Asia pats the boy's head gently.
The boy probably didn't understand what she is saying. But Asia's kind expression caused the boy to relax. Asia put her palm where the boy has injured himself.
Next moment, a green light orb appears from the Sister's palm and is flashing onto the boy's knee.
"A Sacred Gear..." Uryuu murmured which Issei heard.
"That's right.W-Wait!!How do you know about the Sacred Gears?!?"Issei asked in a surprised manner.
"Well,I know a thing or two about the Supernatural World." Uryuu continued to look at the nun's sacred gear, somewhat fascinated.
"How!?!"
"Ask your king about it."
"You know you shouldn't use that power in public,most folks know nothing about the supernatural world."Uryuu said to Asia who had returned after healing the boy, all while Issei continued to glare at the former expecting an answer.
"Well, I can't help it when I see someone injured."Asia says as she sticks out her tongue.
The conversation between the Sitri rook and the nun continued through the whole way, with Issei also occasionally inputting, and the trio continued walking towards the Church.
They reached the Church after walking for a few minutes.
"Well that's to be expected."Uryuu muttered as he looked towards Issei who seemed to be trembling, he himself felt his instinct telling him to stay away.
Uryuu started at the Church, where the fallen would probably soon gather.
Also the church where The nun, Asia, was soon to die. Uryuu tried to ignore the knot forming in his stomach, trying to forget or ignore the fact the nun was soon to die, painfully as her "gift" was ripped out from her very soul.
The gift she thanked the God for, which would soon be the cause of her death.
"Yes, this is the place! I'm so glad."
"Then I'll be on my way."
"Yeah,I'll also be on my way." Issei says following up.
"Please wait!"
As the two reincarnated devils decided to leave, Asia stopped us.
"I would like to make you some tea as a gratitude for taking me here—"
"Oh, I'm in a rush so I have to get going."
"....But that's..."
She looked and sounded troubled.
"My name is Hyoudou Issei. Everyone around me calls me Ise. So you can call me Ise as well."Issei said still trembling as he was standing near a holy site.Asia then turned towards Uryuu.
"The name is Sasaki Uryuu,What about you?"
"My name is Asia Argento! Please call me Asia!"she responds with a smile.
"Asia, let's meet again."
"Yes! Uryu-san,Ise-san, I will definitely come and see you!"Asia bowed her head down, thanking the two devils.
The duo of Devil turned around leaving the holy site.
As the duo walked towards the Academy, in silence. Uryuu suddenly stopped and looked behind, towards the church he came from.

Sona POV
"So you encountered a Nun?"
"Yes.It seemed she was lost and was looking for the church."Uryuu calmly said.
"And you helped this nun get to the church?"I massaged my forehead already knowing what was to come.
"Yes, I showed her the direction."
'*Sigh* Just great Fallens, strays and now this nun..'I sighed to myself, already expecting the trouble to come knocking on the door.
"We can safely assume she is an excommunicated one, who is allied with the fallens, else the church would have at least sent an emissary."Tsubaki said, scratching her chin.
"Yes that a safe bet, though unlikely there is a possibility that the emissary hasn't arrived yet."
"About that."Uryuu said drawing both of our attention."I spoke with the nun, she said she was excommunicated."
"What?"I glared at my rook, who looked straight at me."And you didn't think to mention that."
"I just did."I continued to glare at him, as he scratched his cheek."It seemed she also wasn't aware of whatever the fallens and stray ste doing in the town."
"What are you getting at?"
"She has the sacred gear Twilight gear."That did catch my interest.
'He couldn't be insinuating that I…'
"And you want to reincarnate this nun in my peerage?"I looked at him, who flinched in response.
"Even if not reincarnate her, there is still the possibility of her becoming your Contracted Mage."
"And risk getting into conflict with the fallens."
"The fallens have already chosen conflict, haven't they?"He said, looking straight into my eyes."They have been killing peoples in the territory YOU govern and now have started killing our contractors too."
'So he heard that.'
"He has point."Tsubaki inputted her opinion, as she smiled."They have all but shown the will not cooperate and will choose conflict."
I sighed as I reclined on the chair, thinking about the possibilities of the future events with my actions.
"Even if she is oblivious to everything happening here and is possibly being manipulated, there is not much that I can do."
"Not unless you have her tucked away somewhere other that the fallens den." I sarcastically said, though strangely Uryuu looked away.
"Don't tell me you?"Tsubaki beside me started chuckling at the turn of event.
