pped. Blue-haired Xenovia was the first to speak up.

"Lady Griselda." She nodded to her teacher and guardian. "What is the news from the Pope?"

"As I've expected, they give us a green light on our mission." Griselda Quatra said to both girls. "Our orders are to reclaim the stolen Excaliburs or destroy them."

"Wow, a new mission!" Irina happily exclaimed. "I can`t wait for us to get started! We shall bring divine justice upon those pagans and heretics that took away our Lords prized possessions! Amen!" She prayed.

"I wish I could indulge your optimism with good news, Irina, but this mission is going to be the hardest one per day." Griselda sighed. "Our opponent is none other but Kokabiel, leader of Fallen Angels and a very powerful opponent for anyone, even strongest Angels. If that wasn`t enough, he somehow managed to assemble around himself powerful individuals with unique capabilities. Our success rate is less than 15 percent."

"It doesn`t matter, for we serve the God, Lady Griselda." Xenovia reassured her master. "Where are we going to get them back?"

Griselda sighed once again.

"And that is a real problem, Xenovia." Griselda spoke again. "According to our Intel, Kokabiel was spotted near town of Kuoh, in Japan. All negotiations with Shinto Faction have been settled and we were granted permission to go there, but that is not a real issue. For over 10 years, Kuoh was rented by Shinto Faction to Devils."

"What?! Devils in my hometown?! We must purge it in the name of our Lord!" Irina proclaimed with vigor.

"Irina, as much as you may want to, our orders are not to attack Devils in Kuoh, unless provoked." Griselda warned her. "And, it`s not the Devils we have to be worried getting involved in our business. It`s the man who has recently became a governor of that area."

"You speak as if you know that guy?" Irina looked confused.

"You could say that." Griselda said with stiffed voice. "Several years ago, I`ve led a team of our top Exorcists to clean up after a blunder that was caused by one of our top researchers. Unfortunately, when we got there, we were greeted by a full platoon of Grigori`s Special Task Force, as they`ve reached the place first and because of my men`s rash actions, our negotiations turned into a bloody battle. Only after every one of my team were gravely wounded or dead, the fight stopped and I`ve met with their commander. I`ve met many people in my time, but this man.. I`ve never see someone like him. While all those operatives had the ability to kill me, he was the single person that held them back with his mere word. He let me go with a message to Vatican, warning the Pope himself that if Vatican or other Churches ever again crosses the line like we did, there will be far greater consequences for our actions. Along with that, he?ordered?the Church to never set foot on Grigori`s territory. If we ever did, then he promised to make us pay tenfold for any transgression."

"How rude, to order the Church not to exact our righteous justice! We must punish him in the name of God!" Irina proclaimed.

"Lady Griselda, what is the name of this person? He sounds like a very powerful person and an arrogant one to order the Church." Xenovia noted.

"Irina, even our Lord didn`t succeed in his quest to punish the ancestor of this man. And he is not arrogant, but a truly fearsome person and someone who doesn`t forget the wrongs." Griselda sighed. "For his name is Alexander Lucifer, grandson of Lucifer himself."
