Grayfia saw the anger on Jake's face and spoke to calm him. "Do not worry, Serafall is fine. It's just that, to her and our shame, she was forced to retreat and has been holed up in her family manor depressed ever since.

She hasn't been answering or responding to anyone's messages."

Serafall... depressed? She was one of the most energetic and cheerful girls Jake knew. That was shocking. He felt like he needed to go see her right away! "When did this happen?" Jake asked.

"About two days ago," Sirzechs replied.

"Wait," Jake said, surprised. "I spent over half a year in the past, and it was only two days in the present?"

Sirzechs nodded and chalked it up to time travel shenanigans. Apparently, Ajuka speculated that the timeline was trying to correct itself, which is why if Jake ever "traveled" again, he'd probably return almost right after he left.

"Honestly, I figured I'd probably run into those heroes again in the future, and I appreciate you guys trying to handle them for me, but I feel like they're enemies that I'm personally going to have to face," Jake declared.

Sirzechs nodded at that. He, too, had that same feeling multiple times during the Great War. They were always powerful enemies that had pushed him to his very limits and forged him into the Super devil he was today.

Once their conversation came to an end, Jake asked Sirzechs to let him use his teleportation circle so he could visit Serafall. His brother acquiesced and allowed him to use it.

With a flash of light, Jake vanished from Sirzechs' office.

Sirzechs turned to his wife after Jake left. "You know, I was a bit hesitant that Jake and Serafall were probably going to be a thing in the future.

But I can tell how much he cares about her and how much she cares about him." The whole reason she'd holed herself up the past two days was because she was ashamed she'd failed to "avenge" Jake.

Grayfia nodded to Sirzechs with a small smile. "Indeed, the fact that she went into depression for nearly three years after Jake vanished from that graveyard is all the proof you need to know that she truly likes him back.

It was only the birth of her little sister that pulled her out of her slump... That and her discovering magical girl anime..." she trailed off.

Indeed, Sirzechs said with an agreeing nod. "...um...Grayfia," Sirzechs said with a bit of concern in his voice when he realized something about Serafall that Jake wasn't aware of. "Does Jake know about... Levia-tan?"

Grayfia's eyes widened upon a similar realization. "No... no, he does not."

Sirzechs just broke down laughing for a moment. "Hahahaha, well, Jake's going to be in for quite a surprise when he sees how much his girl has changed ever since she discovered magical girls."

"Indeed," Grayfia deadpanned. Jake was going to be in for a shock...

With a flash of light, Jake found himself standing in a large room in another ridiculously nice manor. Instead of all the red-colored decorations found in the Gremory manor, though, this one heavily favored blues.

The door to the room he was in opened. "Hello there," a voice with a familiar accent spoke out. "We weren't expecting any visitors, but welcome to the Sitri manor. I am the pawn of Lady Sona, Fleur-" The girl—no, woman—froze upon seeing Jake.

Jake froze for a second upon seeing her as well. "Hi there, Fleur," he said to her while trying his best to put on a charming smile.

It was a bit tough, though, considering the last time he saw her, she was staring up at him from the ground with those lifeless eyes...

"Jake!" Fleur cut off his bad stray thought as she launched herself forward and embraced him in a tight hug!

"Sorry I missed our date for so long," Jake whispered to her. To him, Fleur had looked just as beautiful as the day he last saw her. The only difference being that she appeared to be slightly older, maybe into her early 20s appearance-wise, the same as Luna and Serafall.

"It's okay," she replied. "We are immortal now, no? We have plenty of time to get to know each other. But I suspect you did not come to see me today." She said that last part with a bit of longing before she released Jake from her tight hug.

"Fleur, I-" Jake started saying...

"Eh-Ehm!"

A throat-clearing was heard from the doorway, and Jake turned and saw a beautiful bespeckled girl with a bob cut hairstyle. "And who might you be, sir?" she asked Jake.

"You clearly teleported into our guest room, so you've used the teleportation circle of someone our family trusts, but I do not recognize you." She did, however, recognize that famous hair color and had a minor suspicion.

"Lady Sona," Fleur spoke up.

"This is Jake Gremory. And Jake, this is Sona Sitri, my current king and the little sister of my previous king, Serafall. I had heard that you and her were quite acquainted with each other." Her voice had a hint of jealousy.

Jake found that cute. He wanted to spend more time with her and catch up, but he was supposedly here to see Serafall today...

Jake took Fleur's hand before laying a kiss on the back of it, causing her to blush. "It was lovely seeing you again, Fleur, and I'm hoping the two of us can get together and catch up soon." She nodded at that. "How about after my upcoming duel?" Jake asked.

"...Duel?" She questioned tentatively. Jake just told her it was a whole thing to explain at the moment and that she'd probably hear all about it later anyway. He reassured her concerned look that he would be fine.

"If you are quite done flirting with my pawn," Sona interrupted them, "then I assume by your name you are here to see my sister?" Sona asked. Sona had heard plenty of stories about Jake from her sister growing up.
