(At Kuoh Academy)
It's been a few days since the incident of meeting
Azazel. The members of Occult Research Club are
currently at the swimming pool area.
"...Man, the pool really really is a mess."
Issei look at the pool with a sweat drop on his head as
he look at the pool.
The pool is extremely dirtied. The water is no longer
clean. There's leaves everywhere.
"Ufufufu. Well, it has not been cleaned since last
year." Akeno laughed a little.
"Besides, once the pool is cleaned, we get to take a
dip before anyone else."
"Then, in the name of Occult Research Club, let's
make the pool cleaner than it ever was before!"
Rias said it happily. She proclaimed the latter one
proudly.
"""""Hai!"""""
Everyone replied full in spirit. Issei look at the pool
quietly.
"...Buchou, do you mind if I try something?"
"? Sure. What is it?"
"I need you guys to stand back for a while."
Everyone tilts their head slightly. But they complied.
*Inhale~~*
*Splashhhh~*
"Ise!?"
Rias is shock after witnessing Issei's action. The
brown haired boy jump directly into the yucky pool.
*Bloop.* *Bloop.* *Bloop.* *Bloop." *Bloop.*
Almost in an instant, the murky water start bubbling.
The leaves on the surface of the water starts to burn.
The water is evaporating in a rapid rate. Within 30
seconds, the swimming pool is emptied. Not a single
drop of water or a leaf in in it. All you can see is Issei
sitting in the middle of the pool, holding his nose, with
his eyes closed and cheek puffed. There's also yellow-
orange flame around his body.
"Haaaaa~ Looks like it worked."
Issei exhaled and grin as he look around that the
murky water and leaves were all vaporised into
nothing. Even his wet opened all-black tracksuit with
red accents are now dried cleaned.
""..."" Both Rias and Akeno are speechless. Their eyes
wide open.
"Wow..." Kiba is amazed, not knowing that he said that
out loud.
"That's amazing, Ise-san!" Asia is happy seeing Issei's
performance.
"...Amazing..." Koneko's eyes widened slighty.
"That just made our work much easier." Xenovia keeps
nodding her head slowly.
With the murky water all evaporated, and the leaves in
the pool gone. All they have to do now is to clean the
pool and sweep away the rest of the leaves at the
side of the pool.
After the pool has been cleaned completely, everyone
has changed into their swimsuits and is ready to have
FUN! Issei is currently wearing a black swimming trunk
with red flame like designs on it. Kiba is wearing a
black swim brief. The former one is doing some
stretching before he gets into the pool.
"Ise."
Issei turn to look at his master after hearing his name
being called. Light blushes form on his cheek as he
look at Rias.
Rias is wearing a white string bikini.
"How do I look?"
She asks for his opinion as she did a slow twirl.
Showing him her swimsuit.
"Y-You look amazing in it."
Issei answers it sheepishly, scratching his cheek.
"Ara ara. Stepping the game, aren't ya, Buchou."
Akeno walk towards Issei and Rias. She's wearing a
purple and dark pink string bikini which shows more
skin than Rias's. Rias narrows her eyes slightly, seeing
Akeno coming.
"Buchou, you must be dying to show Ise-kun in the
swimsuit."
"Are you in any position to tell me that, Akeno?"
"Ufufufu. Who knows."
Rias seems to be annoyed while Akeno enjoys teasing
her master.
'Oh boy...They're gonna fight any time soon...'
{Hahahahaha. Cat fight. I like that!} Ddraig cheered in
Issei's head.
Asia suddenly appears in front of him. She's wearing
school swimsuit.
"Ise-san, I have also done changing."
Issei look at her and smiles.
"Asia, you look good as well."
Asia's face lightens up right away.
"I'm so happy hearing Ise-san said that!"
Koneko's head suddenly pop out from Asia's back.
She's currently wearing a swimming cap. She is also
wearing school swimsuit like Asia did. It seems like
she's waiting for Issei to praise her as well.
Issei notices her and understand immediately, after
seeing her action. He smiles at her.
"Koneko-chan, you look as cute as always."
'Cute as always. Cute as always. Cute as always. Cute
as always.'
These words are cycling in Koneko's head right away.
She blushes slightly, and walk away from him quietly.
Issei smiles even more as he look at Koneko's
reaction. He finds it cute.
"...What about me, Ise-sama?"
"!?"
Issei widened his eyes when he hears a familiar
voices. He turns to see a young woman in her late
twenty, with a buxom figure. She has a long light blue
hair reaching all the way down to her thighs and has
pale gold. She's currently wearing a white string one
piece that shows her cleavage.
"Tiamat!? What are you doing here?!"
"I'm here to enjoy the pool."
*Splash~!*
With just that, Tiamat dives into the pool. Issei just
smirks and shakes his head. Seeing how carefree the
Dragon King is.
"Hm?"
Issei looks around as and turn to Asia.
"Asia, where is Xenovia anyway?"
"Ano. She seems to be having trouble with her
swimsuit, so she told me to go ahead first."
"I see...Hm?"
Issei turn his head slightly to see Rias walking towards
him with Koneko.
Rias is placing her hands on Koneko's shoulders, and
while letting out a smile.
"Ise, I have a favour to ask you."
"?"
"Yes, 1, 2. 1, 2. 1, 2."
Issei is currently standing in the pool, holding Koneko's
hand and helping her out with feet pedalling exercises.
Apparently, Rias asked Issei to help teach Koneko how
to swim.
"Puwa-."
Koneko is taking small breaths in between and
pedalling her feet with her utmost effort.
"Keep it up, Koneko-chan!"
Asia is cheering for Koneko from the side. Issei look
at Asia for a while.
"...Asia, you're next. It's about time you learn how to
swim."
"Hai!"
Asia replied happily.
"Puwa-. ...Senpai, sorry for making you help me out...."
Koneko says it in an apologetic manner.
"Hm? It's fine. I don't mind at all. I should thank you
instead. For me to be able to help you. It's really an
honour...Oops, we have reached the end."
After completing pedalling for 25 metres, Koneko
collides with Issei. Even though it was a coincidence,
the general perception would be they're hugging each
other. Issei let go of her, and apologizes.
"Oh. Sorry about that. I didn't know that we've
reached the end."
"....Ise-senpai, you're always gentle to girls...Thank
you."
Koneko said it with her cheeks being a bit red.
"W-Well, I guess it's just a natural thing to me. For me,
respecting girls are very important. If you don't
respect a lady, then you're not a man...At least that's
what Nii-chan taught me."
Issei said it with a warm smile, while patting Koneko
head.
"..."
Koneko just remains quite and let him pat her head.
The blushes on her cheeks darken even more.
"...Ise-sanpai, would you like to teach Asia-senpai
next?"
Issei turn to look at Asia. She seems eager and ready.
"Asia, are you ready?"
"Hai! I'll be under your care!"
"Gulp, gulp, gulp. Hahhhh~"
Issei is sitting under a shade at the side of the pool
and drink his water.
" " "...Zzzz" " "
Tiamat, Koneko and Asia are currently sleeping with
beach blanket spread out for each and one of them.
Issei look at the three of them and smiles.
"Ise."
Issei turn his head around when he heard Rias calling
him in a seductive tone.
Rias is currently lying down on the beach blanket. Her
string bikini is untied. There's a small bottle placed
beside her.
"Could you please rub some oil on me?"
{Hohohohoho! Partner, you damn lucky bastard!}
Ddraig said it in Issei's head with perverted tone.
"U-Umm...Okay."
Issei blushes slightly, as he understood Ddraig's
meaning as he walks towards her.
He applies some oil on his hand and starts spreading it
on his master's back. He also massage her back at
the same time.
"I-Is that okay?"
"Mhm. It feels good~"
Rias seems to enjoy it. Issei just makes a small smile
hearing that. He then continues massaging her back.
Things were going perfectly normal, until...
"Ise."
"Hm?"
"Would you like to oil my chest?"
"!?"
Rias asked him with a seductive tone. Issei's face is
red. He doesn't know what to do at this stage.
{Say Yes! Say Yes! Say Yes!}
"Shut up! You Perverted Dragon!"
Issei is current having a mental argument with his
Dragon.
"...Ise? Do you not like my breast?"
Rias shows a sad expression which is another blow to
Issei.
"I-I-I...Yes. I-I mean, No. I mean, Yes! Wahhhhhhh!"
Issei grabs his hair with both of his hand. He just lost
his mind.
"Heheh."
Rias giggles seeing Issei's action. She sits up from her
position.
"B-B-Buchou, B-B-Breast!"
Issei points at her, trying to tell her to re-tie her bikini.
But words are not available at this moment.
Rias just moves closer to him and-
*Chu~*
Delivers a kiss on his cheek.
"!?"
Issei blushes even more. Rias then places her hand on
his cheek. Issei closes his eyes as he tries to
memorise the sensation. He feels a lot calmer when
Rias places her hand on his cheek. A small smile form
on his face. He gently places his hand on top of
Rias's, not wanting to let her go.
The atmosphere is just getting better and better, until...
*Huggggg~*
"Ara ara. I also want Ise-kun to apply oil on me as
well. Ise-kun, please massage my back as well."
Akeno suddenly appears behind Issei and hugs him.
"A-Akeno-san!?"
{Oho! This sensation! She's not wearing her top!
Hohohohoho!}
Ddraig is really high right now. But he's right, Akeno
took off her swimsuit. She's currently hugging Issei
half-naked.
Issei is blushing heavily because he can clearly feel
the soft sensation on his back.
"It's unfair that it's just Buchou who gets all the
special treatment."
Akeno says that to Rias as if she's challenging her.
While pressing her breast against Issei's back even
more.
"H-Hey, Akeno. Can't you see the atmosphere around
us were just getting better?! You know my oiling isn't
over!"
Rias stands up right away, her eye balls were looking
fierce. It's clear that she's displeased by Akeno's
action.
"Hey Buchou, do you mind if I take Ise-kun?"
Akeno asked Rias happily...challengingly.
"No. You can't have him. He's mine! You'll never take
him from me!"
Rias retort right away. She's all fired up
"Hey Ise-kun."
"Y-Yes?"
"Did you suck Buchou's breast?"
"H-Huh?! No! I- "
{Not Yet.}
"-Not yet...!? I-I mean I didn't!"
{Pfft! Hahahahahahahaha!}
"Damn you Ddraig!"
Issei got tricked by Ddraig as he answers Akeno's
question.
"Ara ara. Don't you think you're taking too long for
this, Buchou? Just by reading Love Manual won't get
you far if you do not act quickly~"
Issei raises an eyebrow.
'She reads Love Manual? I didn't know that.' Issei
silently thought.
"Hei Ise-kun, I'll let you suck mine instead."
"!? Wha-"
*chomp.*
"Hua..."
Issei slip a sound from his mouth accidentally when
Akeno bites his ear softly.
*Don!*
Something was crackled to pieces after an explosion
was heard. Issei turn around to see one of the diving
board was destroyed. He look back again to see Rias
with her left hand raised up, aiming slightly away from
them. She was the one who destroyed the diving
board
"...Akeno, don't you think you're getting a little full of
yourself?"
Rias said it as she raises her right hand, with her palm
facing up and create a volley ball sized Power of
Destruction.
Akeno stood up as well.
"Ara ara. If that's the way you would like to settle this,
I won't hold back."
Akeno also raises her right hand.
*Bzzt.* *Sparkles.*
A volley ball sized Lightning gathers on her hand.
Issei tries to stop both of them at that moment.
"Wai- !?"
He caught a glimpse of the other three girls sleeping
near him and the Two Great Onee-samas.
"Crap..."
*BOOOOOOM!*
"I won't give Ise to you!"
"Why can't I just love him?"
"Didn't you said that you hate men?"
"Says the woman who wasn't interested in them
because they "all look the same"."
*Don!*
*Don!*
Rias and Akeno starts throwing their Demonic Powers
at each other.
"...Phew. Thank goodness I reach them on time."
Issei is currently standing in front of the three girls
who are completely oblivious on what's happening.
They're still sleeping peacefully. He had his hand
raised in front of him. Apparently, he made a barrier
around them before the collision of two crimson-black
and pale gold Demonic Powers. He then look at the
pool. Kiba is still diving under the water, not knowing
what's going on at the surface. Xenovia isn't here
yet...Why is she taking so long?! It's just a swimsuit!
Issei then turn his eyesight back to the two Great
Onee-samas.
"...I should stop the two of them before any further
damages are made."
He then steps out of the barrier.
"Okay...What should I do...Think. Think...!"
He widened his eyes when a lightened light bulb
appears at the side of his head.
{Partner, are you sure about that?}
"...Yep. Direct confront. That's the only way to stop
them fighting. If I'm the reason they fight, maybe I can
make them stop at the same time."
{You're gonna have to take responsibilities
afterwards.}
"I know. I know"
Issei quickly flies into the air. Charging towards them.
So what is the plan?
(Up in the Sky)
The so called two Great Onee-samas, are currently
fighting against each other. Not covering their breast.
"I won't give you Ise! You Vulgar Priestess of
Lightning-san."
"Isn't it fine to be affectionate? Crimson Virgin
Princess-sama."
"Aren't you a virgin yourself?!"
"Ara, if you're going to say that, I'll have Ise-kun take
my virginity right now."
"No! Ise said he would take my virginity!"
'Since when did i said that?' Issei raises an eyebrow
as he'd flying towards them.
{When she's sleeping with you. You said Yes to her
when she asked you that question."
"What?! I did!?"
{Yep.}
"I don't remember at all!"
{Of course. you answers it while you're sleeping.}
"Buchou~ Akeno-san~ Please stop~!"
""!?""
Rias and Akeno look down to see Issei flying towards
them. He then stops, floating in the middle of those
two
"Ise. Move aside."
"P-Please Buchou, listen to what I have to say."
Issei raises both of his hands to the each side. Telling
them to stop.
{Any time now, partner.}
*Inhaleeeeeeeeeee~~~*
"...Buchou! Akeno-san! Please got out with me on the
weekends!"
Issei said it loudly and clearly.
""!?""
Both Rias and Akeno widened their eyes and their
cheeks reddened slightly.
"I-Ise...did you say..."
"...A date?...With Ise-kun?"
"Y-Yes! I-I'll go out with you two on the weekends if
you two stop now. Please."
He said it sheepishly. Even he's embarrassed for
saying something like that out loud. Not to mention, to
two girls at the same time.
'Man...That just turned me into a playboy...'
Issei thought about the consequences for saying that.
"..."
"..."
Rias and Akeno remained quiet for some time.
'Please let it work. Please let it work. Please let it
work. Please let it work. Please let it work.'
Issei silently prayed for his success.
*Bam!* *Bam!*
"!?"
Issei is shock for a while when he suddenly felt two
things crashed onto his sides. Both on the left and
right. It's Rias and Akeno! They're wrapping their arms
around his. Rias on the left while Akeno's on the right
They seemed to be really really happy as well.
"My first date with Ise. My first date with Ise. My first
date with Ise."
"Ufufu. A date with Ise-kun..."
"Y-You two are really okay going out with me?"
Issei raises an eyebrow. Still find I hard to believe that
it really worked.
" "Yes." "
Both of them replied at the same time.
Issei blushes again and said it sheepishly,
"Let's descend for now. You two need to put your
swimsuits back on."
At that moment. Rias and Akeno's cheek reddened
even more as they just realised that they've forgotten
that they're topless.
(Close to Kuoh Academy)
It's a new day. Issei is currently walking towards the
school gate through a small bridge, alone. Zack left for
school earlier than them. Since he's a teacher at there
now. Asia said that she wanted to wait for Xenovia
who is currently living in a different apartment. Issei
wanted to go ahead first, so he left Asia to Kiba and
Koneko. Rias and Akeno said that they will be a little
late for some personal reasons. Issei also starts to
brainstorm on what he's supposed to do during the
weekends for his date.
"?"
Issei is stops his pace when he saw someone is
leaning against the wall of the school gate. It's a
handsome young man with dark silver hair. His eyes
are closed and there's a small smirk on his face. He
has a calm and noble atmosphere around him.
*Sniff, sniff*
Issei narrows his eyes slightly as he recognises the
smell. But chooses to keep his composure. He
continues walking towards the school gate.
The dark-silver haired young man opens his eyes as he
notice Issei is walking towards him. He has light blue
eyes. He then got up and walk towards Issei as well.
Both of them stop at a distance. Standing in the
middle of the bridge. The dark-silver haired young man
decided to speak first.
"It's a nice school."
"Sort of. It's okay for me."
Issei smirks as he answers back. He then added.
"It's nice to meet you in flesh, host of Vanishing
Dragon, Vali."
"...Heh. So you know that I'm the White Dragon
Emperor already huh...Red Dragon Emperor, Hyoudou
Issei."
Issei grins and points at his nose while saying,
"You're scent gives up who you are."
Vali widened his eyes slightly, but he smirks.
"!? Heh. You really are an interesting one."
Vali suddenly shows an inappropriate smile. Issei
raises his eyebrow seeing the former's expression.
*Woosh~*
*Bam!"
In that instant, Vali closes his distance between him
and Issei. But Issei backhanded Vali's right hand with
his left hand.
"..."
Vali look closely at his right hand, which was hit to
the side. He then shows a smug look.
"Good reflexes. To think that you're able to hit my
hand away, before I even reaches for your nose.
Hehehe. You really are good."
Issei smirks back.
"Thanks. It's not often you get compliments from your
eternal-rival. Your speed is very impressive as well."
Vali nodded his head, gesturing "Thanks" to Issei.
*Shinn* *Khinn*
Two blades suddenly appear and thrust towards Vali's
neck.
It's Holy Demonic Sword and Durandal. Kiba and
Xenovia are here!
"Your joke is getting out of hand."
"I cannot let you fight the Red Dragon Emperor here,
White Dragon Emperor."
"Ise-san!"
Asia rushes towards Issei, Koneko is following behind
her. Issei stop them with his hand. He then smiles at
the both of them.
"It's okay, Asia."
"Kiba, Xenovia. I'm fine. Vali and I are just having a
conversation."
Kiba and Xenovia didn't move a muscle. They
remained in their position.
Vali just look at the two Knight and smirk with
confident.
"Don't bother trying. If you two cannot even beat
Kokabiel, there's zero chances for you to beat me. You
should listen just to Hyoudou Issei."
Issei notices something... Kiba and Xenovia's hands
were shaking, while grasping the Holy Demonic Sword
and Holy Sword tightly, their expressions were
stiffening.
"Guys. Really, I'm fine."
Kiba and Xenovia then unsummon their swords and
walk away from Vali while not taking their eyes off
him. They stand beside Issei.
"...Hyoudou Issei, what rank do you rank yourself in
thus world?"
"From what I witnessed during your fight against
Kokabiel, and seeing your incomplete Balance Breaker,
it would be a two digits, between 50 to 99."
Issei shows a challenging grin.
"If what you say is true, then tell me. What do you
rank yourself in this world? 20 to 49?"
"...There's a lot of strong people in this world. Not even
the Crimson Satan, Sirzech Lucifer can fit into the top
10."
"However, the 1st position has already been decided."
Issei narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard that.
"...You're talking about the True Red Dragon God
Emperor right?"
Kiba, Koneko and Xenovia widened their eyes and look
at Issei. Asia doesn't understand what Issei meant, so
she just tilted her head. Vali widened his eyes slightly
and smirks. Why does he keep on smirking?!
"What is your point, Vali?"
Vali just shrugs. His shoulder to Issei's question. He
then points at Issei, with his finger.
"I will tell you this. Hyoudou Issei, you are a rare gem.
It would be better if you trained him even more, Rias
Gremory."
"!?"
Everone turn their back to see Rias and Akeno are
standing not too far away from them.
Rias walk towards Vali.
"White Dragon Emperor. What are you after? If you are
affiliated with Fallen Angels, we- "
"In the past, the two Heavenly Dragons, Welsh Dragon
and Vanishing Dragon, Red and White have
caused all the people they've meet to a miserable
live...How are things working out for you?"
At that instant, Vali realises white aura.
"!?"
Issei widened his eyes when he heard and felt that.
His pupils and irises constricted right away.
*BAM!*
*Skddddddddddddddddddddd~*
Issei punches Vali hard. It causes the latter one to
skid into the front school. There's red aura flaring out
from him. Sseems like Vali was able to block the
punch as he guarded himself by forming X-guard with
both his arms.
"Ise!?"
Rias tries to make him stop by pulling his shoulder.
But it's not working.
"Is that a threat to her, VALI?!"
Issei roared at his arch-rival. He's angry.
Vali lowers his arms. Issei is angrier when he saw the
former one is still smirking.
"Hmph. That was a good reaction. But, I didn't come
here to fight. I have a lot of things to attend to."
He starts to pat and dust his clothes.
Vali then walk towards and stop in front of Issei. Look
directly into his eyes
"Heh. We'll have our fight soon...Be prepared."
Vali then walk passes the Occult Research Club.
Sooner than they think, Vali is gone.
"Tch. If it weren't for these seals..."
Issei look at his left hand, with the spikeed chain
tattoos. He then clenches his hand hard. Shaking in
anger.
"Ise..."
Rias places her hand on Issei's shoulder. But Issei just
move his shoulder, not wanting Rias to touch him.
"...I'm going to the Infirmary to rest for a while. Asia,
please tell this to Nii-chan. That I won't be joining the
class.
"H-Hai..."
"Please excuse me for now."
Issei then walks away from the group.
(At Unknown Place)
Issei is currently standing on top of a tall building. He
quietly watch the clouds in the sky moving slowly.
"..."
"It's been a long time since I last so that face of
yours."
Issei turn his head to the right slightly to see another
him is walking towards him. But the second Issei is
different than the first Issei. His hair lifts up slightly,
and is red in colour. His irises are golden yellow and
his pupils sharper, like the eyes of a dragon. There's
also red scale-like design appear on his face and body.
"...Hey, Ddraig."
It looks like Ddraig has taken a form of Issei during his
Full-Synchro with himself. Ddraig-Issei sit down at the
edge of the building.
"Is it because of what the host of White-One said?"
"..."
"I'll take that as a Yes...Look partner, you have to stop
thinking that you'll bring troubles to the others."
"...But what he said was true, and you know it."
"..."
"See. You and I are Dragons. Well, technically I'm just
a Half-Dragon. But still, Dragons attract everything.
Doesn't matter if it's good or bad. We're a living
magnet."
"I'm really struggling here, Ddraig. One part of me wants
to protect them...The other part wants me to leave
them..."
Issei look at the sky. His eyes are full of sadness,
isolations and lack of confidents...
"Heh. I can't even handle my own life...How can I
expect that I'm capable of handling others...I talk
about shouldering others' burden, yet I do not even
understand mines..."
Ddraig-Issei just lay on the floor, with his leg hanging at
the end of the building. He puts both of his hand at
the back of his head as he rest on the floor.
"You need to share those feelings with others. Not
hide or bury them in your heart. You talk about
trusting your comrades, then share your thoughts with
them. Don't be afraid. Have more confident in
yourself. You and I share the title as one of the
Heavenly Dragon, the Red Dragon Emperor. I can't
have a host who lacks in confident. The White-One
might even laugh at you"
"..."
"?"
Ddraig-Issei widened his eyes slightly as he senses
something. He then gives out a perverted smile.
"Partner, when you wake up from your mind. Try your
best not to panic, okay? Kukukukuku."
"? What do you mean?"
"Kukukuku. Just wake up. Go on. We'll talk next
time."
Issei raises an eyebrow, but complied. He soon
disappears from the top of the building.
"...Have more confident in yourself, partner. I believe
that you have the power to protect them..."
(In the Infirmary)
"Mhmmm...Yawn~"
Issei rubs his eyes tiredly and slowly open them.
"!?"
He blushes heavily the moment he open them.
"...Zzzzz."
'B-B-Buchou!?'
Rias is currently sleeping next to him...In the same
bed...Not wearing her uniform...
"Zzzz...? Fuaaaa...Ise?"
Rias woke up from her sleep. She also rub her eyes
tiredly.
"B-B-Buchou...W-What's going on here..."
"? I felt a bit tired so I came to the infirmary to take a
rest. I found out that you're sleeping. So I invited
myself in."
'Liar...You knew from the beginning that I would be
here...'
Issei averts his eyes. Not daring to look at his naked
master.
'I'm a gentleman...not a pervert...You must not let your
lust take over you. Don't look. Don't look. Don't look.'
Issei forces himself not to look.
Rias made a small smile seeing Issei's reaction and
hugs him even tighter.
"!? B-Buchou?!"
Issei blushes even more.
"I don't mind Ise seeing my naked body."
"B-But why are you hugging me so t-tight?!"
"I like hugging you. Your body is very warm. It
comforts me. I feel safer when I'm with you."
"..."
"Ise."
"Y-Yea?"
"Do you like my breast?"
"Wha?!"
{Hahahahahahahaha! Good luck answering that question,
partner! Hahahahahaha!} Ddraig laughs in Issei's head.
Issei cannot stop his blushes.
"...*mumble*...*mumble*..."
"Hmm? I can't hear you."
"...Y-Yes...I do..."
Rias seems to be happy hearing that answer. She hugs
him even more. Burrowing her head into his chest.
"...You don't have to listen to what the White Dragon
Emperor said...I believe in you, Ise. Always will.
Everyone also believe in you. So please, believe in
yourself..."
Issei widened his eyes when he heard that. He lowers
his head right away to look at Rias.
*Kiss~*
"!?"
Issei's eyes widened even more when he feels
something warm crash onto his mouth. Rias is kissing
him!? Again!?
Issei's mind seems to be blown away at that instant.
Steams are coming out of his ears.
As their mouth separates from each other. Rias seems
to be embarrassed as well, because there's a light
blush forming on her cheeks. She look at Issei with
very emotional eyes.
"Promise me that you'll have more faith in yourself."
"...I-I promise..."
Part of Issei's soul hasn't come back from the kiss
yet.
"...I can't wait for the weekends to come...My first date
with my Ise."
Rias said it cheerfully and continues to hug him like a
dear pillow of soft toys.
Issei made a small smile when he feels Rias tightens
her hug. He chooses to hug her back.
(At 2nd Year Classroom)
Issei feels a lot better. Way much better. He didn't
know if it's the rest or the talk with Ddraig or Rias
sleeping naked beside him and hugging him or Rias
kisses him that makes him so energized. Ddraig strongly
confirm to Issei that it's the 3rd and 4th reasons that
restores his energy. But he did say it in a lecherous
tone...
*Open*
The moment Issei open his classroom doors.
""Hyoudou-kun You Bastard!""
* *BAAAM!* *
Motohama and Matsuda punch Issei in the face with
all their strength.
"..."
Issei remains standing there firmly. But...
"Arghhhhh!"
"My hand! My hand!"
Motohama and Matsuda are crying while holding their
hands which they just used to punch Issei.
*BaDump.* *BaDump.*
Both of the Perverted Duo's hands are swelling.
"What are you made of Hyoudou-kun?!"
"Why does it hurt so much?! Are you made of steel?!"
Issei just half closes his eyes and look at them with
uninterestedly and said nonchalantly,
"What do you guys want this time?"
Motohama is crying while holding his still swollen
hand.
"W-We heard rumours!"
Matsuda is also crying from the pain.
"Yea! Rumours about the new student, Xenovia-chan,
is in the Occult Reseach Club too?!"
Issei just look at them and raises and eyebrow.
"Yea. It's true. So? How does that give you an excuse
to punch me?"
"W-Well...You've got so many hot chicks around you
already."
"Y-Yea! We just need someone to vent this anger on!"
Motohama and Matsuda retorted bravely...or stupidly.
"And what does that lead you to? Swollen hands?"
"..."
"..."
"Idiotic Perverted Duos."
Issei just walk pass them and head towards his seat.
"Yo, Ise."
Xenovia stands in front of his seat.
"Oh. Hi, Xenovia. I can see that you're making a lot of
friends already."
Xenovia nod her head. Asia stood beside her and look
at Issei worriedly.
"Ise-san...Are you feeling okay now?"
Issei just show her his toothy grin.
"Yea. I'm feeling much better. Sorry for having you
worried about me, Asia."
Asia just shakes her head and show a relief smile.
Xenovia look at Issei for a while.
Issei bend down to reach for his water bottle. He
drinks it while Xenovia starts talking to him.
"By the way, Ise. I have a favour to ask you..."
"Hmm?" Issei look at her with his side eyes, still
drinking his water.
It seems like the Perverted Duo walk towards his table
just to hear the conversation.
"Will you make babies with me?"
"Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~!"
At that instant, Issei sprinkles out the water in his
mouth onto the Perverted Duos face.
"W-What on earth are you saying?! Do you even know
what you're saying?!"
"Well, since God is- mhmmm...?"
Before Xenovia could say anything any further, her
mouth was covered by Issei's hand.
"Shhh! Look around you! You can't say that in front of
everyone! Don't forget that we're Devils now!"
Issei whispered is in her ears. He seriously had no idea
that Xenovia is so oblivious in this kind of situation.
Motohama and Matsuda who are wet from the water
being sprinkled onto them by Issei, are shaking
heavily. In pure rage, but mostly jealousy.
"Hyoudou-kun!"
"Damn you!"
Motohama and Matsuda are about to attack again.
But...
"Good morning everyone~"
Zack comes into the class happily.
"Oh! Nii-chan! These two perverts are trying to hit
me!"
"Huh?! You two bullies dare to bully my Ise-chan?! Go
outside and stand at the hallway for 15 minutes while
you're holding your chair at the top of your head!"
""But, Zack-sensei!""
Motohama and Matsuda wailed.
"No but. Go on. It's just for 15 minutes. Take your
chairs with you."
Motohama and Matsuda exited the classroom while
bringing their chair with them.
'Phew...Thank goodness Nii-chan came on time.'
Issei inwardly sigh.
{Looks like luck is with you, partner.} Ddraig said it in his
host's head.
Issei just nod his head in agreement.
