### Part 1

At the same time Boy is fighting Mammon, Barabara is in Limoges, France. Where she's was fighting demons alongside Leah and helping Dante finding the whereabouts of the witch Vergilius. Later she and Leah where seen at the airport heading for Japan.

### Part 2

After helping Dante she and Leah headed for Japan to supervise Imuri under the cover of becoming her new guard. Once they arrive at the temporary residence of the artist, they explain to her that becoming her guards was Boy's suggestion. Sensing that Imuri was not too excited they decided to go with Leah's plan and have a cargiver showdown at the church's oceanside villa. At the end Imuri will decide who's the better guard. On the way to the villa Boy, Leah and Barbara are informed of a small cruise ship that's sinking. Barbara asks if the coast guard should be one the help, but heads out when she hears that a large beast was seen swiming under the ship. Arriving at the scene they work together to save all the passengers. Among other things Barbara helps out by disabling phones with her ability. After the incident, she says she will handle the cover up of the situation with the coast guard, insurance companies, shipyard and the cruise ship owners.

Finally arriving at the villa she, Leah and Imuri take it easy as Boy is the caregiver for the day. They do lot of eating and drinking, during which Barbara is denied drinking wine as she's younger than the legal drinking age in Japan. In the evening they set off fireworks and the next day it's her and Leah's turn to take care of Imuri. They quartet soon take in a little girl, who washed up on the beach. The girls real identity is Leviathan, she tells them a convenient story and omitting any hints about her true identity. When asked why she calls herself mama she tells them the truth that her father (god) told her to be one and as thanks for saving her she offers to bear boy's child. Boy in turn gets triggered and Barbara silently thinks that they may have to keep the girls father safe before Boy gets to him first. As Leviathan is taking outside by Imuri for some fresh air, Barbara keeps watch over them from the villa.

It's decided that Boy, Leah and Barbara will take turns taking care for Imuri and Leviathan. As it's still their turn they take care of Imuri. For lunch Barbara cooks what looks to be a fish pie, which is appearntly gross according to Imuri. Barbara was quite schoked by this statement. The next day the group decides to hang out together. They play cards, video games, eat and have a fun time altogether. During diner however they are attacked by Leviathan's children who arrive to 'rescue' her. They reveal her true identity and Leah gets confirmation from the church that she's indeed not human. The heartbroken Demon Lord flees the scene, but is followed by Leah and Barbara.

Out on sea Leviathan cries over what just happened, but is interrupted when Leah and Barbara arrive to fight her. While still feeling upset Leviathan creates a tidal wave, wanting to wash it all away. Leah succesfully stops the wave with her miracle, so Leaviathan decides to use physical force. She is however stopped by Barbara who blinds her, giving Leah the chance to use her miracle to manipulate the Leaviathan's blood, tearing her apart from the inside out. After a quick regeneration Leviathan takes on her demonic form and easily overwhelms the two nuns. Deciding to leave she delivers the final blow, but her attack is stopped by Boy who just arrived with Imuri in the nick of time. As Leah and Barbara leave with Imuri, Boy and Leviathan are ready to face off.

The trio make their way to the shore as they watch Boy fight the Demon Lord. Leah protects the town from the huge waves created by their battle, as Barbara makes sure the nearby areas are evacuated. Barbara tells Leah not to push herself, also voicing her dissapointment that she could not do more to help her. When Boy is swallowed by Leviathan, Barbara prays and the nun encourages Imuri that it's okay if she wants to do the same despite not being religious.

After Imuri and Boy get out of the water she and Leah standby an unconscious Imuri in case she needed a heart massage. After making sure they are okay Barbara and Leah leave Boy and Imuri to deal with the aftermath. During which they give a report to cardinal Heisenberg about Imuri: they find the artist suspicious.

### Part 3

Boy had asked Barbara on how to talk to girls and she gave him advice. This however backfired when she Leah came over and walked in on Imuri having a workout session to lose weight. After Boy got scolded by Leah, Barbara gave him a more thorough explanation. During which she was reminded of her past. After informing Boy about the online meeting on how to handle Beelzebub and the witche. She and Leah make preparations to take part in said meeting with the top priest in the church. During this meeting she asks if Dante needs backup, as he's currently working alone in France, which he denies. After the meeting Barbara, Leah, Boy and Imuri gather in the artist studio. She's silently impressed by Imuri's skills and encourages Boy to fight together just before Beelzebub attacks.

Saved by Boy's barrier the quartet doesn't get caught in the Demon Lords gehenna and after Leah sugestion they decid to head for Tokyo Tower. Along the way the get attack by Golem the nephilim. The two nuns get blown away and Leah can't stop it so they all agree to split up and meet up at the tower. Once they landed they come face to face with guard of hell: Cerberus. Leah and Barbara fight the hellhound, during which Barbara was able to blind two of its three heads. After a failed attempt to blind the the third head, Leah starts to summon the power of angels. Barbara protests against it but before Leah could finish, Cerberus suddenly leaves. Deciding the Demon Lord is more important the two nuns head for tokyo tower.

Leah and Barbara are the first ones to arrive. When Leah calls Beelzebub by his nickname she gave him so many years ago, he does not remember her. Leah attacks him and together with Barbara they are able to back him into a corner. Stealing his heart and immobilizing him, but just as Leah wants to tear the Demon Lord apart she reaches her time limit. Feeling that his restraints have loosened he reaches for Leah, but captures Barbara instead who pushed Leah out of the way. Beelzebub strikes a deal with Leah: he will spare Barbara's life if she gives him his heart back and tells him where the church is keeping the purified fragment of Asmodeus. Barbara who gets tortured by the Demon Lord stays strong and tries to pursue Leah not to tell him and get her revenge. Despite the masked nun's efforts Leah can't abandon her friend, so she frees Beelzebub, gives him his heart back and tell him the location of the fragment. While Beelzebub releases Barbara and gloats over his victory he's punched by Boy who just arrived on the scene, alongside Imuri and Golem.

Barbara's injuries are so severe that she cannot move, Leah has no more strength and both nuns are contaminated with black magic. Boy puts a barrier around them, alongside Imuri, to heal and protect them. The young priest notices that he needs more time to heal them. He and the Demon Lord talk until Beelzebub starts to transform, bringing the group into his own domain: the Demon Lord's dining table. As the fight between Boy and Beelzebub continue, Barbara remains injured and incapable of fighting that is until Dante appears. He preforms first aid on the two nuns and stops the black magic contamination. While Leah can fight again, Barbara is still incapable of fighting.

When Beelzebub is overwhelmed by his opponents and unable to regenerate quickly enough, he tranforms his wings into six eyes to see every possible oncoming attack. But as soon as Beelzebub did that he's blinded by Barbara who just recovered enough, sitting with the help of Imuri.

A few days after the battle Barbara and Leah are still hospitalized. Barbara wakes up one morning with Leah beside her. While the latter apologizes for betraying her and the church, the former forgives her. Thanking the other nun as she likely wouldn't be alive if Leah didn't accept the Demon Lord deal. The two of them continue talking until Boy and Imuri arrive with a fruit basket. The four of them enjoy eating it's content while talking happily.

### Part 4

After Barbara and Leah recover for the most part and are discharged from the Hospital, they are called to come to cardinal Heisenburgs private residence. Inside his greenhouse he welcomes them, expressing his gratitude that they both are okay. Afterwards he explains the current situation of the church, during this explanation the two nuns find out Boy's inhumane upbringing. In the end he asks the nuns if they think Imuri is a demon, as she may very well be the trigger that causes boy to apostasy. Even of they have a hunch it's fine, he just wants to hear their opnion. Both Leah and Barbara believe Imuri is a demon, making the decision final: to treat Imuri Atsuki as a demon and to tear her away from Boy before it's too late.

On the last day of the school festival Barbara and Leah arrive at the airport and are headed towards Boy and Imuri. Later they both see a huge flash of light when Boy attacks Asmodeus. Both nuns arrive at the battle scene the same time as Mikhail and Imuri. Leah and Barbara want to intervene when Boy was beating up . Before they can Imuri beats them to it and runs to Boy. Wanting to intervene again they are this time stopped by Mikhail.

A few days later Leah and Barbara watch the temporary residence of Imuri and Boy from their hotel room. Barbara asks Leah if they shouldn't be monitoring them. Leah respones that right now might not be the best time.
