"What brings you here?"

"Were you the one that gave my Garcia back to Roberta?" the man asked.

"Mmmhmm. " Kenji replied.

"I'm guessing you're his old man?" the man chuckled.

"Yeah, I am. " He said.

"Diego Jose San Fernando Lovelace, head of the Lovelace family. "

"Kenji Gremory. " Kenji replied.

"Presumed-dead Heir to the House of Gremory. "

"So you are a Devil. " Diego said.

"Presumed-dead?" Garcia chipped in.

"Long story. " Kenji said.

Diego walked up to Kenji and looked into his eyes. He was slightly taller than Kenji, though Kenji was confident that he could deal with him if it came to that.

"If you're a Devil, is it true that you do contracts?" he asked.

"Yes. " Kenji replied.

"Though I don't do them very often. "

"Oh. " Diego said.

"But is it possible that you…"

"Yes?"

"Well, since my family are pretty much on the brink of collapse, both politically and financially, is it possible that you can give us a hand in getting back on our feet?" Diego asked. Kenji was silent for a second.

"It depends what you're willing to offer me in return. " He said, evenly.

"Anything. " Diego said, and he sounded like he really meant it.

Line Break

A week later, Kenji stood outside the Lovelace manor, with Garcia, Diego and Roberta standing in front of him.

"Thank you very much for your help, Kenji. " Diego said.

"Now, let us discuss compensation. "

"Yeah, it's very simple. " Kenji said.

"As compensation, I wish for Roberta to become one of my Evil Pieces. " Both Diego and Garcia were taken aback.

"May I ask why?" Diego asked.

"Simple. " Kenji said.

"The way she fought the Manisalera Cartel back at the bar was, to be blunt," he leaned over and clamped his hands over Garcia's ears. "Fucking awesome.

" He released Garcia.

"Well, I suppose that can be done. " Diego said, looking down.

"And now that we actually have some money to spend, I can hire some staff to take care of this old place, including some more maids. " He said.

"I don't have the time to take care of every little thing in this place, as well as what I have to do with being head of the family, and taking care of Garcia. "

"I can imagine. " Kenji said.

He then looked at Garcia, who was crying silently. "Hey, you're not saying goodbye to Roberta forever, Garcia.

" He said. "Tell you what: I can make a summoning paper for you that will let you summon Roberta to you when you want to spend some time with her.

Does that sound good?" Garcia stopped crying on the spot, and threw his arms around Kenji.

"Thank you!" he sobbed, into his shirt. "I'd love that.

"

"That's okay. " Kenji gently rubbed his hands through Garcia's hair.

"You've got a great dad, Garcia. " His eyes suddenly gained a hollow look for a second.

"Are you alright?" Diego asked Kenji, noticing the look in his eyes.

"Yea, I'm fine. " Kenji replied.

"Well, Roberta. " Kenji said, turning to the dark-blue-haired maid.

"Are you okay with becoming a member of my peerage?" Roberta started for a second at being addressed directly.

"I have no problem with it. " She said.

"I'm only a maid, and I am bound to serve a master. " Kenji laughed for a second.

"You remind me so much of Zest. " He said, taking out his fourth Pawn piece.

"You'll meet her, along with the rest of my peerage, soon enough. "

He inserted the Pawn piece into her chest, and two pairs of wings sprouted from Roberta's back, one Devil and one Vampiric Dragon (blue and black).

"Goodbye, Roberta. " Garcia walked over to Roberta and hugged her.

Roberta hugged Garcia back.

"What did I just say about ten lines ago?" Kenji asked. Then out of nowhere, Valian appeared and punched him in the face.

"What the fuck did I tell you about breaking the fourth wall?!

"Damn, this weather is really fucking rough!" Kenji muttered, as he trekked through the desert he was walking through. He was wearing wrap-around sunglasses, which had a spell on them to look opaque from the outside, but when he looked through them, it looked like he was wearing regular sunglasses.

Anyway, he had his sword strapped to his hip, and his twin pistols in a holster that he had made himself. It was similar to the one that Revy wore when she used her guns.

As he continued to walk, he heard a faint noise in the distance. It sounded like a sword slashing, and meeting another sword.

Kenji knew the noise so well because of his training with Tobio, and the countless times he had to stand his ground against a sword-wielding opponent.

Picking up the pace and walking towards where the sound was coming from, he saw seven burly-looking bandit-like people, fighting against a figure that Kenji couldn't quite see, they were moving around so fast. Kenji had to admit.

Guy or girl who was fighting, they were certainly fast, and very, very good with a sword. The person had taken out one of the seven bandits already, and was coming very close to taking out the second.

Scratch that, they had.

Kenji mentally teetered on the verge of getting involved and helping the unknown person, but eventually decided against it. He didn't want to look like he was a threat and risk having a fight.

Ten seconds later, the third bandit fell. Another fifteen, and the fourth one was gone.

'Fuck, this person really is good!' Kenji thought. 'They must have gone through some serious training.

Or have a Sacred Gear. Or both.

'

The unknown person clashed with the seventh and final bandit, but the bandit seemed to throw a punch at the person. It actually connected, and the person, who stopped long enough for Kenji to see that they had long black hair, jumped back, visibly winded.

They managed to dispatch the final bandit after one slash of their sword.
