Issei made his way back to the Human World, accompanied by Irina, Luminous, and Hinata.
"A world ruled solely by humans... I wonder what kind of place it'll be," Luminous murmured, a faint, intrigued smirk playing on her lips as they stood before the gate connecting to the Human World.
"...We're not exactly here for a sightseeing trip, you know," Issei reminded her.
Luminous immediately pouted. Her beautiful face turned flat, and her expression became slightly intimidating as irritation flared within her.
"Hmph!" She snorted, huffing and turning her head away in a fit of pique.
Issei let out a helpless sigh.
Squish...
Suddenly, Issei froze. He felt a sudden surge of warmth and a distinct, overwhelming softness pressing firmly against his arm.
"Gulp... Irina, what do you think you're doing?" Issei swallowed hard, desperately trying to suppress the 'beast' that was currently clawing at the walls of his sanity.
"Hehe~ Issei-kun likes this kind of thing, right? Then just let me stay like this for a bit." Irina stuck out her tongue and gave him a playful, mischievous wink.
Seeing her look so temptingly cute, Issei felt a sudden urge to do something... bold.
But he couldn't just lose it here—not in front of Luminous and Hinata. Especially not with the way their gazes were currently boring holes into him, sharp enough to pierce right through his heart.
Instead of stopping, however, Irina doubled down. She repeatedly pressed her chest against his arm, making it even harder for him to hold back the beast in his heart.
'This Angel really needs to be taught a lesson...' Issei thought, glancing down at Irina's plump rear. He reached out and gave it a firm squeeze, hard enough to make it lose its shape for a moment.
"Kyah!" Irina let out a pampered shriek, her cheeks flushing a deep crimson. She immediately scurried away from him, covering her backside. "Issei-kun, you pervert! Ecchi!"
"Hehe, it's your own fault for teasing me," Issei replied with a cheeky grin, though he was still struggling to endure Hinata's gaze—she was looking at him like he was literal pieces of trash.
Luminous's brow twitched several times, clearly annoyed by the blatant flirting between the two.
"Ahem! Let's just go."
Even Issei couldn't stand being under the shadow of Hinata's icy stare for much longer. He urged them to leave the Underworld immediately, hoping that once they crossed over, he'd finally be free from that judgmental look.
The group emerged in the backyard of the Hyoudou residence.
Waiting there for them were Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Xenovia, Asia, and Rossweisse.
Rias stood at the front, as if she had been anticipating Issei's return. A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes when she spotted Luminous and Hinata.
"What are you two doing here?"
"...There was a bit of a situation," Luminous replied vaguely.
Rias fell silent at the cryptic answer and slowly shifted her gaze toward Issei.
"I'll explain everything. But before that..." Issei's eyes drifted toward Rossweisse.
Rossweisse blushed instantly, feeling Issei's intense gaze fixated specifically on her bust.
Rias let out a sigh and promptly reached out to pinch Issei's ear.
"Don't stare so much... You're scaring her," Rias scolded him, her tone laced with a hint of jealousy.
"Ahem, sorry. Force of habit." Issei rubbed his neck, looking a bit sheepish.
"Honestly... You should know her by now. From today onward, she'll be living here with us."
A look of surprise flashed in Issei's eyes. "That means..."
In response, Rossweisse unfurled a pair of black devil wings, showing them off to everyone.
"Issei-san, I'll be in your care from now on."
Issei gave a small smile and nodded, his expression relaxing.
Rossweisse looked incredibly nervous as she spoke. Her skin, white and smooth as fallen snow, was flushed pink, making her look exceptionally beautiful and cute.
Issei found himself completely entranced—at least until he felt the sharp, stinging glares from Rias and the others.
Meanwhile, Hinata was observing her surroundings with bright red cheeks. Truth be told, her mind had wandered toward something rather indecent, causing her face to glow like a ripe tomato.
Luminous remained calm on the surface, but internally, she was busy comparing herself to the other women present.
She wasn't lacking in terms of looks, but when it came to chest size... she felt utterly defeated.
'How can they even be that big?' Luminous's envious gaze darted back and forth between Akeno and Rossweisse, her heart swirling with jealousy.
"If you don't mind, we'd like an explanation now," Rias said kindly. She was smiling softly, but her body was radiating a crimson aura that felt decidedly dangerous.
"Ahem, of course. Let's talk inside."
Rias nodded gently and led the way toward the basement. She walked side-by-side with Issei, tucking his arm right between her large, warm, and soft breasts.
Several of the girls looked on with envy—Asia, Akeno, Koneko, and Irina especially.
Xenovia didn't quite catch the nuance, but she looked increasingly interested in Issei.
Rossweisse blushed at the sight of Issei and Rias's intimacy, momentarily wondering if she had made the right choice by becoming a Devil and joining the Gremory Family.
But there was no turning back now. Once she had committed to becoming a Devil, she could never return to being a Valkyrie.
Luminous sighed and followed behind Rias and Issei. Hinata stayed as close to her as possible, though her mind was still dazed, preoccupied by the "lewd" thoughts she couldn't quite shake off.
To be continued...
