The final day of the trip to the underworld was upon them as Issei had already finished packing his bags as he was sitting outside in the garden. Just lounging away as time rolled by as Asia came outside looking for him.
"Issei?" She called out for him as she saw a hand pop up over one of the hedges. Making her way towards where he was as she came around the corner as there was a large clearing that looked out to the vast territory that the Gremory family-owned.
"Hey, Asia." Issei gestured towards the chair next to him as she sat down "What's up?"
"I just finished packing so I came out here to see what you were up to."
Issei nodded "I see. Outside of the train ride did you do any flying in your training?"
She shook her head "No, why?"
Issei stood up as he formed his pink rose crested circle. Out came Rel his pegasus with gear on its back ready for a rider. "Do you want to?" He asked as he climbed onto the saddle. Once situated the pegasus trotted closer to Asia as Issei stuck his hand out for her as she grabbed ahold with Issei pulling her up. Once she was situated they moved out towards the large clearing as the wings unfurled. With a powerful flap of the wings, they lifted off into the air hovering close to the ground.
Rias came after them looking for them as they took off, she saw Issei holding onto Asia as she was sitting in his lap. "Ise!" She called out but it was too late another flap of the wings and they were gone. They rocketed up in the sky gaining altitude at an impressive speed as they looked down on the lands below them.
They lofted around for a while as Asia looked around in amazement as the massive mansion they were staying in was reduced the size of a coin. The major city in the distance was seen for what it truly was a massive population center that dwarfed anything they could see on earth. "How high up are were?" Asia gazed down upon the land as she saw some of the places she had been and where she trained over the month.
"Couple miles a few kilometers." Issei looked down as they glided around "Honestly I have no clue. Air is still breathable this far up this far. You know I doubt that the underworld works the same as earth with elevation."
Asia pointed down at the mansion "There's a light down there now."
When Issei looked down it was flashing at them "Looks like our time is over. And we just got up here." Rel flapped her wings as they glided down to the ground. As they were descending they made a couple of circles over the house as they landed in the front of the mansion with a group of people waiting for them. As he landed next to the group he helped Asia slide off the side as she landed on her feet while Issei was getting off next. Venelana had other ideas as she pulled her hand out from her back as there was a carrot in her hand. Rel moved over towards her as Issei was getting off shaking him off knocking him on his back. "Why do you even have that." He got up looking at them.
Venelana held the carrot in her hand feeding it to her as Zeoticus and Millicas were watching. "I was informed beforehand about this. You don't see Pegasus's all too much in the underworld, and getting one from the forest is extremely rare."
"What's next you want to ride it?"
"No, my equestrian years are well beyond me." A paper flew at her as she caught it.
Issei moved to the rest of the group "No male servants helping you if you use it."
Zeoticus looked at him "That's slightly sexist don't you think?
"It is but it's the best advice if you don't want to get bit." A snap of the finger as she disappeared.
Venelana quickly dealt with the paper as she readjusted herself back into the prim and proper attitude that was befitting of her. "I hope you all had an excellent time here and your welcome back at any time. So please feel free to drop by and think of the Gremory family as your own." As Zeoticus finished all the maids behind him bowed.
"Yes please come visit, and Issei. Please take care of Rias while you're in the human world. You know how selfish she can be at times." Venelana watched Rias' face grew bright red.
"The future of this family is going to be fun to see."
Venelana sighed hearing that "This is where you make a scene and tell him he can't have your daughter and you take the high ground."
Zeoticus looked at her and shook his head "He surpassed my powers long ago. Soon we can settle down and watch on."
A stern look came from Venelana as she looked at her husband and Issei, "The two of you need to wait. She needs time to prepare for everything before the two of you have your ways."
Sirzechs came out of the front door of the mansion as he picked up Millicas "And don't forget to write to us." Grayfia stood next to him as Issei looked upon what he was soon to join, a true family.
After everybody said their goodbyes they took a trip to the train station as they prepared to leave the underworld. Inside the train car this time it was a more open layout with couches and tables. Rias was sitting next to Issei as he looked at her "You know I still have no clue what happened at the end of the match. Kinda cool but weird at the same time that I heard those voices."
"It's fine Issei. The trip to the underworld was a learning experience for us all. People have taken a liking to you and only time will tell if that's a good or bad thing." Rias watched as Koneko walked over to them.
Koneko plopped down right into Issei's lap as two little white cat ears came out as a tail came out from under her skirt. Issei looked down at her "Yes Koneko?"
She looked up at him with a smile on her face "Nyan!" As she curled her right hand and acted like a cat.
Everybody looked at them as each of the girls was filled with a different emotion seeing what just happened. Blood ran out of Issei's nose as his mind was unraveling what he just saw. He looked at them "Sorry girls but she just won today." Showing off his bloody nose he reaches up for her ears as he gently touched them. Rias scrambled to grab ahold of some tissues and shoved it into his nose plugging it up.
"It's just like in his manga." Xenovia said watching Rias plugging his nose as Issei was fixated on Koneko. "But what about a tampon?"
Issei let go of Koneko's ears as he played with her tail "When was the last time you had one around you?
"Last mo…." Xenovia was stopped in her tracks as the realization hit "I think I'm pregnant." She quickly jumped to conclusions.
Akeno looked at Issei with disapproval "What? Did you forget to tell her?" He looked at Rias and Akeno
Then it dawned on Rias "Xenovia devils don't deal with that. Due to our long age reproduction is handled differently."
"It's also one of the many factors as to why there are so many reincarnated women." Akeno said to Xenovia as Rias took her aside to talk about things that she forgot about.
As the hour passed they arrived at the station in the human world. As they departed from the train they headed for the exit for the station. As they were near the exit Kiba looked over to Issei as if something was quite right. Issei's suspicions were confirmed by Kiba so he moved in front of the group as he drew his sword pointing it towards the shadows "You can come out now."
"I'm merely here to see Asia Argento." A young man came out from the shadows as golden eyes peered from the shadows with dark blue hair with a green tint.
"Issei that's enough," Rias told him as she looked at the man "What are you doing here Diodora? You know you need permission to enter other territory and I know you didn't ask."
"As I said I'm here to see Asia Argento." He replied.
Asia was stiff as she didn't know why he wanted to speak with her of all things "Umm…"
"I take it you have forgotten who I am." Diodora started to unbutton his shirt revealing a large scar on his chest.
"Your!" Seeing the scar, her memory jump-started knowing who he was.
"It was dark then but you saved me from death." He pulled some of the shirts apart further emphasizing the scar. "I'm Diodora Astaroth heir to the Astaroth clan." His focus was solely on Asia.
Issei looked over to Rias as he rolled his eyes back and forth, seeing this she gave a slight nod back to Issei in response.
Diodora reached down and grabbed ahold of Asia's hand kneeling in front of her as he kissed her hand "I believe that your meeting the first time was preordained by fate. I'm in love with you and I want you to be my bride."
His words didn't sit too well with anybody as he stood back up letting go of her hand. Rias pinched the bridge of her "This summer needs to end already." She muttered to herself as she looked at Diodora. "We can deal with this later, for now, get out of my territory." He gave a bow to Asia as he teleported away in a green light. Not a word was spoken as they headed back home for the first time in a month in complete silence.
Morning came rather quickly as Issei woke up feeling an unusual weight on his body. As he lifted the covers as he saw Koneko sleeping on him. Her ears were out as her tail was laying on his leg. Looking at her all he could see was a baggy white shirt covering her body.
Asia rolled over towards Issei "What's wrong Issei?" She asked him with a sleepy voice. Issei just lifted the covers so she could see. "Oh." She watched as Koneko's ears twitched.
Koneko's tail perked up as she looked at Issei while rubbing her eyes "Nya."
"This is a dangerous level of cuteness that is on par with Asia." Issei reached down to pet her "I trust you have panties on under that shirt?"
Koneko didn't answer that question letting his imagination take the wheel. Issei reached down and grabbed ahold of her shirt and pulled it up slightly revealing a small portion of white fabric covering her bottom. As he saw that the main door to the room opened as Rias was standing there with an enormous amount of envelopes in her hands. She wasn't fully dressed, only wearing an extra-long solid white shirt that went down to her knees. She dropped all the envelopes on the table as everybody watched her. "It hasn't even been twenty-four hours and there is a pile of letters here from Diodora."
"And here I thought I did shitty jobs at picking up the four of you." Koneko got off of Issei as they all got out of bed as they looked to see the pile of letters.
"No this is just bad." Rias was opening letters up looking through some of them. "Movie tickets, dinner party and a whole host of things." She looked towards Asia "This is downright creepy."
"I'm sorry." Asia hung her head down in shame.
"Don't be." Issei hugged her, cheering her up. "Next time he shows up just tell him your answer."
Rias formed a magic circle under the letters as they were disintegrated with her power of destruction. "Let's get ready for school."
As school started there were plenty of speeches and welcoming the students back to classes after the summer break. Some people in school had matured in more ways than one, others not so much. "Yo Issei!" He saw Matsuda and Motohama entering the classroom as Issei was already sitting down.
As they gathered around Issei he looked at the two of them "So what happened when I was out of the country?"
"Rumor has it three people made their "debut" over the break." Motohama was serious as he pushed up his glasses.
Matsuda was fuming hearing that "How could they do it before we could."
"Have you virgins looked in the mirror?" Matsuda and Motohama turned to see Kiryuu standing behind them.
"Why you!"
"Oh, I bet two of the three of you spent your summer being worthless."
"Shut you." "You don't know that."
Kiryuu smiled as she heard that "Thanks for confirming that."
Issei got a small chuckle "You guys walked into that."
"By the way Hyoudou what's up with Asia? She's kinda dopey since school started up again."
Issei motioned for her to get closer "You see she ordered a dildo maker off the internet. And when it arrived you know" Issei made a quick gesture of jacking off "We got it ready to make the toy and she passed out seeing my junk." Matsu and Moto ready to beat the crap out of Issei as they heard that.
Kiryuu looked at Issei as if he was an idiot "That can't be it, that just sounds too dumb to be real."
He laughed hearing that "You're right." He pointed at Matsu and Moto "But they fell for it." The two of them were seething as Kiryuu and now Issei had fooled them. "I know what's going on but it's not my place to say anything. Do your girl talk thing and see if she will tell you."
Kiryuu wasn't happy hearing that she would have to work for her answer. "You know your popularity with the girls has gone up."
This confused him "How? Better yet why?"
"Look at you some of the girls said you have shaped up quite a bit." Kiryuu tapped his cheeks "Your face is more toned now and less fat."
"I've always been in shape."
"Look I'm just the messenger." She let out a grin "Some even say you're more like a wild animal."
The classroom door was flung open seeing a dude panting for air as he ran in. "The rumors were true, we're getting a transfer student and it's a girl."
"WHAT!" Many voices rang out in surprise of hearing that.
After a couple of minutes, the teacher came into the classroom as everybody was in their seats ready for class to start. "I know this is a weird time for this to happen but as some of you might have heard there's a new transfer student. You can come in now."
The door opened as a girl came in as her brown twin tails bounced around as the males in the class were extremely excited to see the new girl. Xenovia and Asia's eyes were almost popping out of their eye sockets as Irina was standing at the front of the class dressed in the school uniform.
The teacher gave her a nod as she spoke "My name is Irina Shidou, I hope we all get along." Everybody was infatuated with her "Nice to see you again Ise-Kun." Six words were all it took for everybody to systematically turn and give him a death stare.
"What the hell man, why do you know all these pretty girls?" Once the guys from the other side of the class said as Matsu and Moto were giving him death glares.
"She was my neighbor when we were young." His words weren't saving him from the impending doom.
"He thought I was a boy when we were kids." Irina tried to lighten up the situation.
"You looked like one!" Issei did himself no favors as his mouth worked before his brain did.
"Enough." The teacher called out "Please take the empty seat in the back." As class started all the students formulated their ideas of what happened between the two of them among other things.
Classes moved by with relative ease as everybody got back into the grind. Irina received many questions during the breaks, many of them from the girls and a good amount from the guys as well. But as classes ended for the day that's when the most important questions of the day would be answered.
Both the Occult research club and the Student counsel were in the ORC building. When Irina entered the room she was greeted by them "Welcome to Kuoh academy Shidou Irina." Rias and Sona gave here a formal greeting.
"Thank you. I know this is my first time meeting most of you. My name is Irina and I come here as a messenger for Heaven."
Azazel walked in the door behind her as he looked at Xenovia and Asia. "I have a feeling you're thinking about the truth and yes she already knows."
Irina looked down as he said that "It pains me but yes he is gone. When Michael told me the truth I cried, yet I'm still here." Asia and Xenovia both nodded knowing how she must have reacted to hearing the news.
"I take it as your the liaison Michael sent over?" Azazel asked
"Yes, Michael was troubled as Heaven didn't have anybody here while both devils and fallen did. There's also a plan for others to work here as well but for now, it is just myself."
"I see, and You are Michael's personal messenger?"
Irina nodded "Yes I report directly to him."
"Show me." He said as Irina put her hands together as her body began to glow. The light condensed around her back head and hands as a halo and a set of white wings popped out of her back.
Everybody's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as they watched here transform. Rias looked on as she was amazed "Since when could they reincarnate people?"
"The angel transformation has been a thing for about a week. Most of the summer that you spent training Heaven and the Underworld spent working on getting the transformation adapted to the angels." Azazel looked at Irina seeing the effects of her transformation.
"That's correct before the summer there was no such thing as angelic reincarnation. But with the help of the underworld, I was selected as Lord Michael's first member as…" She held up her right-hand showing off there was a bright red A with a spade in the center with angel wings. "The Ace of Spades!" They all looked at her examining everything they could see.
"The only card he needs?" Issei played a little tongue and cheek with his words.
"Maybe." She answered "The Four Great Seraphs and other Seraphs each received a deck. They decided to base their system off Ace to Queen of playing cards instead of the Chessboard that devils use."
"There's another symbolic reason for using cards but we are in a room full of devils so I will forgo the details," Azazel mentioned
"Yes, and it's quite the honor to be selected by him. Lord Michael even said there could be a possibility of having special Rating games between the evil pieces and our Brave Saints some time in the future."
Everyone was shocked to even hear of something like that would even happen. A sporting game between the two factions is unimaginable. Azazel was impressed by hearing that "Sporting between the two factions. There's bound to be some push back on both sides but that would be amazing to see. As the cards use the same principles as the evil pieces they should be able to use the rating game system no problem." Azazel saw the looks of the kids around him "This would be maybe ten or so years in the future relations between most of the devil families are rocky at best and would have to be sorted before something like that could happen."
"That actually sounds like fun." Kiba was interested in a possibility like that.
"While it's fun to speculate about the future lets not detract from the here and now." Sona moved everybody on to the reason why they were all gathered. The doors to the clubroom opened as a cake rolled in with two of the girls of the Sitri peerage.
Over a week passed since Irina transferred to the school and yet the mornings were the same every day. Irina blended in with no problems, her upbeat attitude gave off a vibe that everybody enjoyed being around her. Irina had volunteered for one of the many events at the Sports festival during homeroom but there was a problem. Kiryuu was standing in front of the class as she wrote names down and noticed that there was a name missing on the board. "Asia still needs a partner for the three-legged race." She said to herself as she looked over the options but she already knew who would be her partner as no other male dared to partner up with her.
She turned around and saw that Issei's head was resting on the table. "Hey, Hyoudou." She called out as he looked up. "I think you tore your shirt earlier take a look" He lifted his arm just enough to look like he wanted to ask a question.
"It's not torn." He looked at his shirt as he saw the large grin on Kiryuu's face.
"Thanks for that." Kiryuu turned around as she wrote his name on the board under Asia's "You will be partnered with Asia for the three-legged race."
"You could have just asked." Issei said as he slouched in his char.
"Yeah but it's fun this way." She said as she was transferred all the names to a paper. Once she was done she left the room to deliver it.
The next day was one of the practice days of the sports festival. And if cute girls were running around in gym clothes you knew where it was best to look for Issei Motohama and Matsuda. The three of them were watching the girls running around as Xenovia and Irina began their own little race. The two of them were running at a pace that was acceptable for humans as the three of them watched on.
"Those sports bras are ruining all the fun." Matsu and Moto complained as Issei simply looked on.
Issei knew Xenovia had a killer body for a girl that was once human. While Irina was a perky yet developed girl from what he saw when she returned to Kuho.
"Hyoudou" A voice called out
Issei looked behind him, seeing Saji carrying some items. "Whats up Saji."
"What are you doing right now?"
"We are watching the Oppai!" Matsu and Moto said as Issei shook his head "Yeah that." Giving Saji a thumbs up as he noticed his arm was wrapped in bandages.
"You have a single goal doing you?" Saji asked as Issei stood up motioning to Saji to go behind the building.
As they walked behind the building "What's with the bandage?"
Saji set down the stuff he was carrying as he unwrapped the bandages. On his right arm, there was a black snake-like design on his arm as it looked like a tattoo. "I asked Azazel about this, and he told me that you're the cause of it. During the game when I drained you blood my sacred gear siphoned off some power along with it. And something adapted to it so now I have this mark."
"Did Azazel say if there was going to be any side effect?" Issei was surprised that this could even happen. "Because I think you're a cursed man."
"This is all it's done so far and I hope it's not a curse because Azazel told me about Vritra and it wasn't pretty," Saji said as he wrapped his arm back up.
"That's most dragons for you."
"Anyways what events are you competing in?"
"Aside from competitive Oppai watching? I'm doing the three-legged race with Asia."
Saji was jealous just hearing that "I got stuck with the bread eating race."
Issei thought about that one for a moment "As long as you don't get stale bread then that could be fun."
Around the corner came Sona and Tsubaki "Saji what are you doing?" Sona called out to him "We already have enough work to deal with so get back to work."
Issei knew this was his one time to cover him. "Well you see I was checking him over to make sure he didn't get any of the bad pervert jujus." Sona glared at him as Issei wiggled his fingers around "Don't need your boy getting handsy with the girls because of me."
"We will be on our way now." She said as they left was Saji as fast as they came.
"It will be fun to see what your hobby becomes just like your sisters!" Issei said as he knew she could hear him.
[That boy has gained an accelerated growth because of his contact with me. One will begin calling now that he has reached a point]
Issei began walking back to the practice 'Referring to?'
[I think it might be best if I don't spell this one out for you. The learning process will be fun.] Issei wasn't going to even attempt to fight that one back
As they got closer he saw Kiryuu behind Asia as she put her hands on her chest groping her chest "You have grown up so much over the summer. The new bras must have cost a fortune."
Asia wiggled trying to get Kiryuu's grip "Please don't grope me."
Issei came up behind Kiryuu "Please don't molest her. That's a job for me and her innocence is mine." Kiryuu's hands were removed from Asia as he spoke again this time much quieter "Maybe if you're a good girl you might have some real fun with her."
He let that rattle through Kiryuu's brain as he pulled Asia away from her "We should start practicing for this."
"That sounds like fun." She was happy to get this chance to do something like this with Issei. The two of them walked off to a secluded place as they practiced how to walk in sync before they started running.
Time flew by them as they practiced until it was time for everybody to head to their clubs. As Issei and Asia walked into the club room, the room was arranged differently for the first time as everybody else was already there.
"Take a seat," Rias said she pointed to the open spots.
When Issei sat down Koneko sat on his lap as he looked at Rias "What's with this setup?"
"Our next match was decided today." Rias wasn't her normal self as she wasn't thrilled about what she had to say. "Our next match is against Diodora Astaroth." She sat down at her desk as Azazel came in the room as a large screen came down from the ceiling.
"All the matches in this young devil tournament are recorded and broadcasted throughout the underworld. Just like the match between You and Sitri the match between Agares and Astaroth And Bael vs Glasya-Labolas was recorded. And you're going to watch them and understand how they fight to deduce any weakness you are able to." Azazel pulled out a remote as he hit a button as the recording started.
Three hours later and two matches were watched along with notes all over the room as everybody took their notes from the matches.
Issei looked around at the group "Can we all agree that the Sairaorg raw power made Zephyrdor look like a child."
"His peerage made short work of anybody they came across as well. When Zephyrdor was out of members he called out a 1v1 and all his defenses were destroyed in a single punch." Xenovia said as she was looking through her notes for anything else that was special.
"Watching that match might almost be pointless," Kiba said, getting everybody's attention. "It looked like they were playing around only using minimal power."
"Yes, I got that feeling from his peerage as well. He never sent in his pawn and that concerns me." Rias was deeply concerned about why the pawn was never used.
"Maybe he was holding the pawn back as the rest of the group was more than enough?" Akeno asked.
"Probably." Issei said, "The opposite is true for Diodora however."
"How so?" Akeno was curious about that.
"His pawns only look like a threat to Asia. The knights are nowhere near as fast as Kiba and only the Bishops and Queen are the only pieces that could be an issue. They would have to be hiding something because of something not quite right about them."
"The Official rankings have Bael rated first then Agares, Gremory, Astaroth, Sitri, and Glasya-Labolas rounding out the six." Azazel said as they thought over that.
"Sairaorg has always been strong and him being on top isn't surprising." Rias said as Azazel handed her the official rankings.
"One of the few devils in a while to understand that just because he is lacking the Bael family power doesn't mean he can't be powerful without it."
"Come again?" Issei wasn't sure if he heard everything correctly.
"Sairaorg was born without the Bael family power," Rias said as she wasn't exactly happy to have to tell the story. "Yet he stands atop as Heir to the Great King through his determination even when society mocks him."
"And those rankings were from before the matches started?" Issei was now more intrigued about Sairaorg.
Azazel only nodded as Rias spoke, "To think that Agares lost to Diodora of all people."
Green light flooded the room as out came Diodora intruding upon the meeting "I, Diodora Astaroth have come here to see Miss Asia Argento."
Rias sighed hearing that voice as she snapped her fingers as everybody stood up as the furniture rearranged itself to the original positions. Rias got up from her desk and sat down on one of the couches as everybody stood behind her with Issei towering over Asia. Azazel swooped in taking Rias' chair as he leaned back in it propping his feet up on the desk as he was going to watch the ensuing chaos as Diodora sat down across from Rias. "So what do you want?" Rias asked him not exactly enthused to see him.
"I'm going to be blunt with you. I want to trade bishops."
"Eeek!" A squeal came out from gasper as he was hiding away from those words.
Two small magic circles came out showing a short blonde girl and a taller blue-haired girl "I'm seeking to trade for Asia Argento." Diodora said as Asia grabbed ahold if Issei's hands.
"Denied." Rias shot him down in an instant.
"May I ask why?" He tried to stay calm.
"You have nothing I want, and I have my family. I have no intention of making a trade with you as your bishops are far from what I already have."
"I see." He stood up and walked over to Asia and knelt in front of her " Destiny calls for us to be together Asia as I love you. I will overcome the bonds to make sure it happens."
Issei wasn't feeling all too well about those words as he reached down with his right hand and placed it on Diodora's shoulder and gripped down a pop was heard as he stood up.
He looked at Issei with a disgusted face "Can you let go of me? A filthy dragon like you makes me sick."
Issei let go of his shoulder "If you feel sick I'll guide you…"
A loud smack was heard that echoed in the room as Asia slapped Diodora's face leaving a large red mark. She grabbed hold of Issei as she looked at Diodora "Please don't say things like that."
"Very well then," Diodora kept a smile across his face. "How about in the next match when I defeat you Hyoudou Issei the Sekiryuutei, I would like Asia to respond to my love."
Issei was amazed at how dumb he sounded "That's not how love works but you know what? I'll enjoy punching you till you give up and cry."
A phone rang in the background as they tuned it out as they were staring each other down "Congratulations." Azazel got everybody's attention as he put away his phone "It's a fight. Gremory versus Astaroth main showing for this Friday night. Paperwork will be delivered later tonight." Diodora left in a flash of light as he heard that the match was scheduled.
~~~Later in the night~~~
Issei walked out of a house finishing one of his Devil contracts. He didn't feel like heading home immediately as he felt like walking home. So he walked the streets that were pitch black as he came upon a vending machine that was lit up. Thinking nothing of it he grabbed a drink from the machine as he heard a voice. "It's been a while." From the darkness appeared a man in a Chinese outfit.
Issei looked over to see Bikou standing on the edge of the light relaxed as he could be. "And what is the great king of kong doing here?"
"I'm here with my partner." Bikou hitched his thumb behind him pointing in the darkness.
Vali came out from the darkness in black pants and jacket that was open showing a plain white t-shirt. "It's been awhile Hyoudou Issei."
"Oh great, you're here as well." He sighed seeing him
"Don't be so cold I'm here for a valid reason."
"And that is?" Issei was now suspicious of his intentions.
"I take it you have watched the video of the Agares Astaroth fight." Issei nodded as he spoke "Plenty of people are suspicious about his power. He wasn't a strong devil yet in his first match he's now showing that he has insane levels of power."
"So how did he get that power then? There is no such thing as a quick powerup."
"Nyo." A large wall of human-shaped flesh appeared from the shadows behind Issei.
"What is that?" Bikou asked as it became more apparent that it was a large man in a magical girl outfit.
Issei turned around to see Mil-tan towering over him. "What's up Mil-tan"
He brought two fingers up to his eyes making a peace sign over his right eye "I felt evil was near, that and you're late for your duty."
Issei thought about his so called duty "No your off a day, I need to get you in contact with Serafall however."
"Leviathan?" Vali was confused "Nevermind, Bikou lets leave."
"Wait." Issei called out as they walked away "You came all the way out here just to tell me to watch out for Diodora? The dude is a massive creep. I'm already watching him."
As they faded into darkness Vali's voice reached out "It was merely a discussion my rival."
Issei scratched his head as he walked away waving to Mil-tan as he headed away heading home [Your rival is weird.]
"I'm glad to hear that we agree."
Ddraig snorted [You are aware you are quite weird as well?]
"You have had thousands of partners and yet I'm weird?"
[Have you ever thought about how much we talk?] Ddraig waited to see if Issei was going to answer [You're the first to talk to me who I enjoy conversing with.]
"If you enjoy talking to me I guess I am weird." Issei pushed the door to the mansion open.
As he walked in the front door Issei was greeted with an amazing sight to behold. Akeno was waiting for him wearing a Miko like outfit that was extremely skimpy with red edges and almost transparent. He saw her nipples protruding out from her top as he looked at her skirt and saw that she had no panties on as well.
Akeno walked over to him pressing her chest into his back as she spoke into his ear "I told you I would wear something nice for you." Issei was dumbstruck as she moved in front of him "Maybe we can go upstairs and change this from you looking to you touching show." Akeno grabbed ahold of Issei's hand as she led him upstairs.
A door opened as Asia and Xenovia came out wearing a similar outfit to Akeno. Xenovia went full on the same no bra out panties as Asia was a bit more conservative having a slightly longer skirt and white pair of panties underneath. Rias came down the stairs wearing a red dress that was open in the center and a pair of high heels as she held a black trident in her hand. "Now Akeno don't hog my Issei all to yourself." Rias extended her wings trying to sell the look and she did as Akeno was trying to secure her grasp on Issei as the two older girls surrounded him.
"Issei likes my look the best." Rias said as she was arguing with Akeno "Look at him it's clearly mine." They both turned to look for an answer from him
He curled up his index finger and chomped down on it as he looked down at the two girls. Asia and Xenovia latched onto Issei as he was making his choices. "Akeno has that erotic I want you to pin me down and rail me look. While Rias has the I love to play before fun look. And honestly, I can't decide." The two of them went back to bickering as he looked at Asia and Xenovia "The two of you look amazing as well."
A tug on the back of his shirt got him to turn around as he saw Koneko standing there wearing a small white babydoll that just barely fit her. "Does this look good on me?"
Issei crouched down in front of her as he tried to adjust her clothes only for him to lift up the bottom to see her in a pair of purple panties with no bra on. With her ears and tail out Issei hugged her as he got no recoil from looking at her panties. He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek as he touched her tail. "It most certainly does, when you become more open we can enjoy it more. But for now, I need to deal with this timebomb the only way I know how to. And tell Irina I said thank you for this because I get the feeling it was her idea for tonight." Koneko nodded as his hand left her tail.
He stood up and looked at Asia and Xenovia "Come with me." He looked to Xenovia in particular. "Were going to have plenty of fun."He walked over to Rias and Akeno as he smacked both girls on the ass getting their attention.
"Ekk." "Issei!" They both called out as he grabbed a hold of their waists as he picked both of them up slinging the two girls over his shoulder. "What are you doing?" Rias asked as she tried to get down but it was hopeless as her struggles did nothing. Akeno, however, did not resist at all as she had a feeling she knew that she provoked the dragon.
Issei didn't answer Rias' pleas as he carried them up the stairs with the others in tow. Xenovia made her way up in front of him, opening the door to the bedroom and closing it once everybody was in. He set the two girls down on the bed as he reached up into Rias' dress and pulled off her panties. As he twirled them around on his finger he looked at the two of them "I figured we should take this show and tell too a more secluded area." Xenovia shoved him onto the bed between Rias and Akeno. They watched as she crawled onto him as the night's activities were about to begin.
The next day everybody took a trip to a tv station in the underworld. They teleported directly there for the sake of time. As they entered the building the staff was waiting for them ready. "Welcome to the Lilith broadcast station Rias Gremory and her servants. Please follow us." They were led down a hall and into an elevator that took them to a waiting room. "Please make yourselves comfortable as we are almost finished with the others."
As the group sat down another set of people came in from another door. Ten people in total lead by a wall of muscle "Rias you're here as well." She looked over to see Sairaorg with his peerage.
"Yes, we came right after school. I take it as you finished your interview?"
"We just finished. I watched your match." Sairaorg watched her suspicions rose.
"And?"
"You almost got trapped but you managed to pull it off. I learned many things watching your match with Sona Sitri." He walked towards Issei and looked at him "I look forward to fighting you at full power."
Issei felt weird about hearing that somebody wanted to fight him. They watched Sairaorg and his peerage leave. After a few moments of silence, a door opened as a woman with a book in her hand came out "Were ready to film the interview now." She leads them into a room with sixteen chairs set up for them. "It's good to meet all of you." She said as she shook Rias' hand. "I'm sorry that this interview was so sudden with the game tomorrow."
"It's quite alright." Rias said.
"So Rias I'm going to have you sit here." She pointed to the first chair "Is Kiba Yuuto and Akeno Himejima here?"
"Yes." They both replied while walking forward.
"There are plenty of questions that people want to hear from you as your popularity has skyrocketed."
"Seriously?" Issei asked as the staff nodded.
"The opposite sexes are craving to hear more from them." She directed everybody where to sit as Issei was the only one left.
The interviewer looked at Issei "Excuse me but I don't mean to be rude but who are you?"
Rias snickered hearing that as Issei sighed "Last I checked my name is Issei Hyoudou Rias' only pawn. You know the Red dragon Emperor or Sekiryuutei." He held up his arm as the gauntlet appeared waving it around.
The support staff went wide-eyed seeing the gauntlet as the interviewer saw it. "I'm sorry but your armored state left an impression on most people after both appearances. You have an interview in another room, you are famous for being called Chichiryuutei."
"Chichiryuutei?" He asked in disbelief.
"Yes. Your fight was massively popular with the children. They took to calling you the Oppai Dragon. The match was broadcasted during the younger kids' break time and when you talked about Oppai and turned into an armored dragon you became an instant hit with the children."
Ddraig was groaning in his head "You know what I wanted to be popular somewhere else. But I have a dragon complaining in my head right now and I am going to roll with this one. Nothing wrong with being an idol. So where to?" He looked around as two staff members escorted him out of the room and to another side of the building. They handed him a script that was made little to no sense as he looked at it. But once he entered a large filming stage it all made sense.
After the interview, they all gathered after the interview was over as they were having a light snack. As they talked about things they were asked in the interview Rias looked over to Issei "So what happened in yours?"
Issei gave a somewhat evil laugh "Oh I think Apollon is going to kill me. But they asked me to keep it a secret for now.
"I see, let's hope it's something good." They heard a knock on the door as it opened up.
"Is Issei here?" A voice came as a small blonde head popped in.
"I am." He said as she moved the rest of her body into view. "What brings you here Ravel?"
Ravel was standing there with a basket in her hand in her purple frilly dress. She walked over to Issei and handed him the basket. "My second eldest brother is filming something today and I wanted to tag along. But I have free time so I wanted to give you this."
Issei peered into the basket unraveling the wrapping around it, as he opened the lid he saw a cake inside. He stuck his face and smelled the aroma of it. "Did you make this?"
"I had some free time and I made a cake. Figure it was best if you had it." She tried her hardest to hide her blush and excitement.
"It looks delicious Ravel, I'll make sure we have some of it after dinner tonight. It's a cheesecake and it looks amazing." He wrapped it all back up and set the basket down. Ravel saw that the other girls were staring at Issei as if he had messed up. But he wasn't able to see that. "Maybe we should do tea sometime?"
"That would be lovely." She bowed as she was about to leave "I will be cheering for you in the next match." Ravel quickly left the room as she didn't want to fear the wrath of the angry girls behind him.
"Well.." Issei was about to say more but Akeno put her finger on the back of his shoulder sending a small jolt of power into his body. As Issei flailed around from the zap he looked at her "What was that for?"
"Cheating on us already?" Akeno said as Koneko Xenovia and Asia weren't all too happy about what just transpired. Rias ignored the other girl's antics as she let it happen to watch Issei's impending doom.
Nightfall came as everybody was back at home and after some daily training. Issei had just got out of taking a bath as he was roaming the halls of the first floor of the basement. While walking around he heard noises coming from one of the rooms. So he opened the door slowly and peered inside seeing Xenovia still in her training clothes jumping around swinging two wooden swords. So he walked inside quietly closing the door behind him trying to make as little noise as possible as he watched her.
Xenovia saw him as she landed. "Hey, Issei." She called out to him
"Figured you would be getting cleaned up by now." He watched her put the wooden swords away as she made her way over to him.
"You came in at the right time then." Her train of thought needed a moment to catch up "I'm not as strong as Kiba the gap between us is larger than I want to admit. I watched the video of how he was able to wield Durandal and it showed me that he has talent. Much more talent that I have so I need to train."
"You say that but I only know how to use a sword in the basic ways. The way the two of you can use them is amazing."
"I know you're trying to make me feel better and thank you for that." Xenovia smiled saying that. "Yet I can't leave myself open anymore. It was my fault that I let my guard down that I was eliminated from the game." Issei nodded as he knew she wanted to improve "Do you want to become a Maou Ise?"
"Why the hell would I want that kind of work? Better yet why do you ask?"
"You plan on being a King one day don't you?" Xenovia avoided her first question.
"That's the plan."
"Well Asia wants to come with you, and I want to come with you as well." Xenovia told him her plans.
Issei was at a loss of words "Asia I understand but you as well?"
She nodded "It will be fun being with you on your ride." She walked past Issei as she was going to leave.
Issei grabbed part of her shirt as she was walking away. "That means more than you think to me." Issei said as he was still pondering the depth of her words. She moved closer to him and planted a kiss on his cheek and promptly left the room
