Why Itadori is typing his name repeatedly in the chat? Has he gone insane from eating that filthy cursed finger? I entered the chat which I left opened by mistake, before going to sleep.
[[ Itadori: Rei ]]
[[ Nami: Can you not do this! Itadori! ]]
[[ Itadori: Sorry, but I was trying to get Rei's intention, in case he was going through the chat group. He was online a moment ago, but he left the conversation all of a sudden when things were getting good here ]]
[[ Nami: There are other members in the chat group too, you know. What's so important that you want to have a conversation with him, over other ones in this chat group ]]
[[ Itadori: Well, It's something between boys, so I can't probably tell you in detail. But it's a miracle that you're online at this time. Is it morning there? ]]
[[ Nami: No, it's night here. I read the earlier chats and found out that he works with devils to kill other evil devils in his town. Do you think he is really a human or just a devil trying to act like a human with us? ]]
[[ Itadori: That guys listens to Travis Scott, and no devil would be blasting his music in hell. He is just a normal human who does jobs for devils to fight with evil devils, who try to harm innocent humans in his town. He could've hid these details from us, but still told us everything about it ]]
[[ Nami: What about you? You've not killed any humans after swallowing that cursed finger, did you? ]]
[[ Itadori: Not at all. I've suppressed him, so there is nothing to worry about him hurting anyone around me. You can be rest assured, I am not a threat to anyone in this chat group ]]
[[ Nami: That's good to hear and stop with writing his name repeatedly. You woke me up from my sleep while I laid down to get some sleep ]]
Turning off the chat group, I got up from my bed to look and stood by the window to get some fresh air at night. This village seems so beautiful with lights and peace, if it wasn't for marine to save this place at time, it would have totally ruined by the pirates. I hate those bastards!
In these days, talking with the people of other worlds, had made me understand a little bit about each one of them. At first this chat group message, blue screen, other world, didn't feel real to me, as if I was dreaming. But soon, it became normal and I get to know some people from different planes of existence.
Itadori is like a cheerful and positive individual, who opens up to anyone and doesn't care about being weird and he openly told about him eating a cursed object. I do feel like punching him hard for doing such a dumb thing, but knowing what situation he was in, he couldn't be blamed for that.
Bang is more like a serious guy who talks only when it's necessary. He didn't indulge in much conversations in the chat group till now. He must be older than me, since he owns a dojo and teaches the people his martial art, probably a teacher.
Megumin is the one who had made least number of appearances. She is the 'most powerful' member in our chat group and it's hard to believe that something like 'magic' can exist. I only heard about in stories and knowing that someone have these kind of powers, makes me wonder what kind of world she lives in.
At last, Rei is the normal yet mysterious. He is cheerful and outgoing like Itadori, but at the same time, the fact he works for devil while being a human, puts a thick veil of mystery around him. A human working with evil beings for good, that doesn't sound normal to me at all. But who knows, he might be a good person i-
*Achooo!*
I caught a cold.
I wonder if they could come into my world and defeat Arlong to free my village from him. Only if life was so simple, then my village would have been freed a long time ago. Sigh! I have to look for more pirates in next village tomorrow. I am still so far away from reaching my goal.
I will not stop until I collect the 100 million belli and take my village back from Arlong! and-
*Achooo!*

[ 3rd POV ]
While thinking of the strategy to enter the church, Rei heard a sound of loud bang from the church. To him, it sounded like a gun sound and he wondered what was going on inside there. Jumping off the wall, he entered the area of church carefully, to not alarm the individuals inside.
'What was that sound of gunshot? Did that crazy exorcist shot one of the fallen angels?'
As he stopped in front of the entrace, he thought whether he should enter through the main entrance or through the other entrance up there.
Looking at the opened windows at the top, he concluded why would they be opened unlike the main gate of church.
' I think it's for the luminance of moonlight to lighten up the church inside. But how am I going to climb up there?'
...
Meanwhile inside the church,
"Know your place Freed, or else I wouldn't hold back to kill you right on the spot" threatened
"Dohnaseek, you should be aware that I was just kidding with you guys? That gunshot was to show you guys, that I am very proficient in my skills" said boy named Freed rotating the gun in his hand with a crazy smile on his face. Hearing his response, the fallen angels glared at him for his lies, if the gunshot wouldn't have dodged, then one of them definitely would have gotten hurt.
"Say, Raynare. You were about to go on a date with that human, aren't you?" asked Freed putting the gun to his lips and gave it a lick. This sudden question caused Raynare to glare at him, to know what he was getting at. He continued while flashing a crazy smile to them, "Maybe I should kill hi-*Splat*"
A sword piereced right through his back of head and went through his mouth, propelling him down to the ground with widened eyes as he stayed dead. Seeing this, there was a pin drop silence in the whole church.
A boy walked out of the darkness as luminance of moon revealed his appearance to the fallen angels, who got on their guard with sudden turn of events.
Retracting back the sword from dead exorcist, Rei watched as the body fell to the ground with a thud, causing the light gun and sword to fall out from the exorcist's grasp.
Meanwhile, Fallen angels had different expressions on their face, while looking at the scene in front of their eyes. At one moment, Freed was arguing with them and then died just like that.
"How the heck do you guys live in this place? No lights, no food, no music, don't you all get bored here?" said Rei, totally ignoring their presence and looking around the church with a disinterested look on his face. "You should have found a better place than this one for your hideout"
Instead of getting a response from their side, he met with the light spear coming at his chest. Dodging it with an ease, he picked up the light gun in his hands to see what it was like. Dohnaseek wasted no time and headed straight to Rei, with light spear in his hand to kill him. Seeing this, Rei shot few shots at his direction, which he swatted away with his light spear and continued to head at him.
'Too slow' thought Rei, while dodging the attack of Dohnaseek with an ease. The fallen angel barraged him with the repeated slashes of Light spear in his hands, but to his dismay, the boy kept dodging it with a bored look on his face.
'What a joke that he is a fallen angel, compared to him, my speed and strength is far superior to him' Rei wasn't bragging when he concluded that in his head, with the hellish training he underwent and defeating those powerful monsters gave him whole another level of confidence.
He summoned the sword in his hand, and swinged across the chest of fallen angel, who tried to stop it with his light spear. Under his surprised gaze, the sword easily went past the light spear and cleaved the fallen angel to half.
*Splat!*
The blood splurted all across the place, and Rei was covered in the blood of fallen, and instantly regretted it. Taking out the handkerchief from his pocket, he wiped off the blood while mumbling 'filthy' repeatedly under his breath.
Seeing this, the fallen girls got ready for their turn, but there was an intense fear took hold of them this time. They were wondering who was this boy and why was he killing them for no reason, at first they thought it was a devil, but that wasn't the case. He was a human.
"I didn't knew that fallen angels were so weak" said Rei flickering the sword to detach the bloodied sword from all the blood. He lifted the sword and pointed at Raynare, who was gritting her teeth seeing her comrade, end up getting killed so easily by the intruder. "You're next"
Both fallen angels, standing beside Raynare, summoned the light spears in their hands to get into the battle with him. But before they could launch an attack at him, he signalled them to hold on while extending his hand in front of them.
[ Rei's POV ]
"You girls better attack at me once or else you would end up losing your life, like these dudes here"
What is this? Even though I told them to attack at once, Raynare didn't bulge from her spot. Sigh! Now I have to use that method to pin them down individually.
Going into the Godspeed mode, I slashed both of their wings, causing them to fall on ground with lightspears in their hands. They are definitely not on my level, and yet instead of running away, they are attacking me. How foolish.
*Arghhhhh!*
The blood splurted from their back and wings detached out of their back with blood flowing around them. I told them to come at me at once, but they didn't listen at all.
I wonder if they would die without the wings? Nah, I don't think so. There would be n-
"Using a sneak attack, huh" . I turned to the remaining fallen angel, who was seething in anger while holding the light spear in her hand.
In the next moment, I disappeared from her sight using the Godspeed mode and slashed at both of her wings, before she could realize. This mission went so smoothly than I even imagined.
"Who are you? and why are you doing this to us?" asked Raynare from the ground. I looked down at her with a glare, which caused her to shudder in fear, knowing what was coming to her next, as I lifted my sword down at her.
I put down my sword beside her neck and replied, "Well, it's because you were using a honey trap on that boy this evening. That's all"
"You're killing us for approaching him? Is that the reason for all this madness" asked Raynare while writhling in pain from detached wings.
Well, she hasn't killed him yet, so blaming her that she was after Issei's life, would be totally out of context.
"Y-you are not going to g-get away this. Lord Azazel will kill you for doin- *Cough* to us"
Trying to scare me, huh.
"And who's going to tell your faction, when no one is walking alive from here" , causing her to click her teeth in realization. I smirked at her which only made her cower in fear and helplessness, and replied "If there is no witness, then there is no crime, don't you agree?"
"Please don't kill me. I promise I won't approach him ever again and will leave this town right now" pleaded Raynare on her knees, with 'tears' in her eyes. If I would have been some good justice boy, I would have fallen for her apology. But sorry miss, this one is not a soft guy like the other shounen protagonists.
I pointed my sword at her neck, which caused her to shudder and look at me with widened eyes. To make her totally submit to me, I need to instill the fear deep into her soul, with an 'apologetic' smile on my face, I slashed the sword at the fallen, "I'm sorry, but I can't let you live. Goodbye, Yuuma chan"
*Splat!*
