uvia immediately pushed Rai with all her strength, but it was futile since Rai was much stronger than her. Rai’s kisses trailed down to Juvia’s shoulder, leaving a kiss mark.

“Give me your soul, and I’ll protect you,” Rai whispered into Juvia’s ear.

“What do you mean, Rai?!” Juvia yelled.

SFX: Door being kicked open.

Suddenly, someone barged into Rai’s room violently and the door broke. It was none other than Juvia’s ex-boyfriend.

“Damn it...” Rai muttered as he picked Juvia up and ran.

Asakaze chased after Rai, who was carrying Juvia until they reached a dead end.

“Juvia, surrender yourself now, or this man dies!” Asakaze shouted with a victorious laugh.

“Heh... it’s been a while, Asa,” Rai said calmly.

“Yes, a thousand years since Miko’s death at your shrine,” Asakaze replied.

“I won’t let you have her!” Rai yelled.

Furious, Asakaze attacked Juvia with flames, but Rai quickly shielded her, letting the flames engulf him instead.

“Too bad, your flames aren’t strong enough,” Rai smirked.

As Rai stood there ablaze, his form transformed into a wolf demon.

“HEY!!!” someone shouted from the door.

“What?! Who are you?” Juvia asked in confusion.

“Rabbit, protect Juvia!” Rai commanded.

“On it, sir!” the rabbit replied.

Above them, the sound of crows circling could be heard. A crow demon entered the room, accompanied by someone with snow-white skin—though not the Snow White from Fairy Tail.

“Blu, use your hammer!” the crow-winged girl shouted.

Blu slammed his massive hammer into the ground, sending Asakaze flying. The crow-winged girl attacked Asakaze with reckless winds, and without him noticing, one of the icy winds from the snow-skinned woman froze his body. The rabbit boy then shot an arrow at Asakaze, shattering the ice and pinning Asakaze to the wall, unable to move.

“FINAL COMBAT: FIRE BLADE!!” Rai roared.

Defeated, Asakaze surrendered.

“Heh... five against one. Just wait and see!” Asakaze said before disappearing into thin air.

“What is going on here?” Juvia asked, bewildered.

“Rebuild!” the rabbit boy shouted.

The ruins of Rai’s office magically reconstructed themselves.

“Juvia, do you recognize us? If not, we’ll reintroduce ourselves,” the snow-skinned girl said.

Ten minutes later...
It turned out that these people were demons:

• Ribbinna: A rabbit with archery skills, super speed, and the ability to rebuild damaged structures.
• Keyra: A crow-winged girl.
• Blu: A demon wielding a thunder hammer.
• Vi: A girl with ice powers.
• Rai: A wolf demon capable of summoning flames and skilled with swords.

Juvia was still in shock. What would happen next? What secrets lie in Juvia’s past?
