( Yuuki's POV )
After calming Koneko down, I returned to where the faction leaders were, and we discussed the interruption to our meeting, Ajuka and Odin managed to seal Loki in a place away from the public where he could not do any harm, but the barrier that was containing him would only last for a day.
Odín: This is my fault, I will take responsibility.
Yuuki: Hey, not so fast there. The Khaos Brigade has people in all factions. This is the moment when we must stand together the most.
Sirzechs: I agree with Yuuki, they keep interfering with the foundation of our alliance, we can't give them what they want.
Yuuki: Twenty-four hours is more than enough time to make preparations.
The movements of the Khaos brigade have been disconnected as if there were an internal conflict among them, but we couldn't rule out the idea that they had a hidden strategy to eliminate all faction leaders.
The strategy we decided to go with was that I would go against Loki because hñI was the least known leader, I would be in a support role and those who would be fighting were the peerages of Rias, Sona and Riser, Odin also offered his two Valkyries to fight and with that the meeting ended.
When I got home I talked to Yasaka, I asked her if she had any idea why Koneko underwent such a powerful transformation, she did have an answer but it was something I wasn't expecting.
Yasaka: She should have gained a great boost by using sage mode, but her unusual transformation was due to the fact that she was filled with your essence.
Yuuki: Can you repeat that?
Yasaka: Well, some species can receive external stimuli that drastically increase their power, like angels who feed on faith and prayers, and devils who seek the desires of mortals, Some Yokai can gain power from the essence of other races, and with everything you did the other night, I'm not surprised this happened.
Yuuki: I see, do you have anything that could help her with that?
Yasaka: She should be fine now that you're out of her system.
Ravel: Hey Yuuki, there's someone looking for you at the door, she's the heiress of the Agares family.
Ravel appeared to interrupt our conversation, but her expression said she wanted to hear more about what we were talking about,
Yuuki: So she did decide to come.
Upon hearing that the young devil, who was a possible kindred spirit, was at the door, I quickly left with a smile on my face, s I left the mansion, I saw Seekvaira trying to look serious, but I could feel the excitement bubbling inside her.
Yuuki: Good morning Seekvaira, can I offer you something to drink?
Seekvaira: ...No thanks, I'm fine.
Yuuki: You want to go directly to the main event, I understand *snap*.
With a snap of my fingers, a huge portal opened above the mansion, and the giant flying battleship New Horizon appeared above us.
Yuuki: What do you think? This is my personal design, the first battleship I built.
Seekvaira: That's big... and imposing. Have you used that ship before?
Yuuki: A couple of times, do you have any idea what our mission is?
Seekvaira: I've heard some things; it's said that your power surpasses even that of the demon kings. Many families envy your closeness to them, and others want to send their daughters to form... lasting bonds with you.
Yuuki: Which group do you belong to?
Seekvaira: I'm curious.
Yuuki: I know exactly what you mean.
The ship's hatches opened and a pair of hybrid gears flew down and landed in front of us, Seekvaira was trembling with excitement; I had a feeling she'd react this way.
Yuuki: You can pilot these hybrid gears if you want.
Seekvaira: eh really~ Ah *cough* I-I mean, I thought you only gave your technology to your allies.
Seekvaira's serious demeanor dropped for a moment when I offered her the chance to pilot the hybrid Gear, and that was all the confirmation I needed, I approached Seekvaira and grabbed both her hands tightly; she, of course, didn't know how to react to my actions.
Yuuki: We are already allies in a unique way, through our love and admiration for mechanical titans, a mech fanatic.
Seekvaira was speechless, but then she matched my energy and made it clear what her feelings were.
Seekvaira: Yes, I love them~
Mittelt: ...What's going on here?
Yuuki: oh Hey sweetie, I was just giving my new friend some gifts.
A loud rumble sounded above us, and from the flying ship emerged a Caster-type Frame Gear that shook the ground upon landing, displaying the beauty of its power.
Yuuki: This is a Frame Gear, like a sacred gear, this can respond to the pilot's feelings and go through a transformation called First Shift. I want you to take all of these.
Seekvaira: All three of them, are you sure about that?
Yuuki: As I said, we share the same passion, these Gears couldn't be in better hands.
Seekvaira: Aren't you worried your technology could be stolen? Not that I would ever give this to anyone else.
Yuuki: I have many security locks to prevent that, but if someone can bypass all of that and replicate my Gears, I would be impressed and would like to have a chat with that person.
The core, engine, and fuel are especially difficult to replicate or replace.
Seekvaira: Then I will accept your gifts and promise to take good care of them.
Mittelt: well If you feel so grateful to Yuuki, there is something you could help with.
