HighSchool DxD: True Crimson Dragon Emperor

Life. 19

(At the Occult Research Club)
It's afternoon now. Lessons are over. Everyone has
gathered in the clubroom. Zack said that he'll be
coming to the clubhouse after he finishes his
assignment. Rias is currently leaning on her desk,
while Ise is standing close to her. She look at the rest
of her servants, and Asia. Finally deciding to tell her
peerage and Asia that she and Issei visited the
Governor of the Fallen Angels few days ago. Everyone
was shock hearing the announcement made by Rias.
"Azazel thanked you?" Kiba raises his eyebrow after
hearing the whole story.
"Yea. He even compensated me- !" Issei was about to
say it, but he saw Rias narrows her eyes right away.
So he stopped there by covering his mouth with both
his hands.
"Compensate?" Kiba asked, tilting his head slightly.
"I-It's nothing!"
"Hahahaha. It seems like you're having fun here."
""""!?""""
Everyone widened their eyes as they heard another
voice that belonged to nobody among them. Issei
narrows his eyes instinct and look towards the floor at
the entrance of the clubroom by his Instinct.
A magic circle forms at the floor and shines brightly.
It's a Gremory Seal.
Two person appear before them.
The first one is a familiar figure, a beautiful young
woman in her early twenties. Silver-haired and
matching eyes. She's wearing her usual blue and white
French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white
headband over her head. She wears a red lipstick as a
cosmetic accessory. Oh, it's Grayfia.
The second person is a handsome young man also
appearing in his early twenties. He has a shoulder
length crimson red hair and blue-green eyes. He's
wearing a business suit. He looks like Rias Gremory's
male version. He's actually smiling pleasantly at the
group.
Akeno and the others kneel down right away in their
presence. The newcomers, Issei, Asia and Xenovia just
show a confused expression.
'...He look just like Buchou...!? Could he be-'
*sniff, sniff.*
Issei widened his eyes when he figures out who that
young man is.
'His scent. It's almost identical to Buchou. It really is
him!'
"O-Onii-sama!?"
At this moment. Issei quickly kneel down as well.
Understanding who the young man in front of him is.
Asia doesn't know what's going on but she follows
after Issei.
"Please relax, I came for private business today."
'...Is he telling us to raise our head?'
Everyone obeyed that and stood up. Issei follows after
them.
Issei's face stiffened when look at the crimson-haired
young man. Well, why not? He kissed Maou-sama's
sister...But in his defence, it's Rias who made the
move.
The young man divert his attention towards Issei. He's
still smiling. But this causes Issei to stiffen even more.
"..." Issei is quiet for the whole time.
"Are you Hyoudou Issei, the Red Dragon Emperor?"
"H-Hai!"
"This is the first time we've meet in person. I would
like to thank you for helping my sister during the
Rating Game. I heard a lot of things about you."
'I hope it's the good things...'
Issei silently thought
"Don't worry, their all good things."
"!?" Issei widened his eyes.
'Did he just read my mind?! Scary...'
"I-I'm honoured!"
"There's no need to be so tense."
"Y-Yes sir."
'Why does he keep smiling? It's creeping me out. Isn't
he going to kill me for kissing Buchou?'
Issei still keeps his guards up. Xenovia then steps
forward.
"Are you a Maou? Pleased to meet you. I'm Xenovia."
"!?" Asia widened her eyes when she heard that
statement. It's her first time meeting a Maou.
The young man just nod his head.
"Nice to meet you, Xenovia. When I heard that the
wielder of Durandal had joined my sister's family, I
could scarcely believe my ears."
"I still that I was quiet bold to choose to become a
Devil. Sometimes, I still regret. Really, why did I
become a Devil? Was I that desperate?"
Xenovia moves from talking to Maou-sama into talking
to herself.
"Hahahahaha. My sister's family sure is interesting.
Xenovia, I hope you can do your best to support
Gremorys as one of my sister's kin."
"I can't possibly betray such words from Lucifer, the
Legendary Maou. I will do my best."
The young man just smile and gently nod his head.
"Thank you."
"That aside, Onii-sama. Why are you here?"
Rias asked doubtfully.
'...Well, it's worth asking...It was not really possible for
the Maou-sama who carries the Devil Society to show
up in the human world in a school's club room.' Issei
said it in his head.
*Bam!*
Zack suddenly barged into the clubroom.
"Guys~ Sorry I'm late~ It took me longer to finish my
work than I thought. Ara?"
Zack look the young man and Grayfia. His eyes
widened when he saw the former one.
"S-Sirzechs!?"
"Zack!?"
Everyone look at the two adults with their eyes
widened too. Even Grayfia is confused.
"Woah! It's nice to see you again! How long has it
been since we last saw each other?! How have you
been?!"
*Huggggggg~*
Zack immediately walk forward and hug the young
man. Sirzechs smiles happily and pat Zack's back.
Rias look at the scene, astonished. She then look at
Issei who is standing beside her and ask him.
"...Ise, does Zack Nii-sama knows Onii-sama?"
"Hmm...I guess so. I heard many different kinds of
stories from Nii-chan when I was with him. He
mentioned the name 'Sirzechs Lucifer' a couple of
times to me. Saying that he's a very nice man and one
of his closest friends. But I never thought that he's
your older brother."
Issei made a bitter smile when he explains the whole
thing to his master.
Zack finally decided to let go of Sirzechs and Grayfia.
His eyes then caught a sight of Issei. Zack quickly
runs towards his younger brother and pushes Issei
forward.
"What are you doing?!" Issei is shock seeing his older
brother's action.
Zack grins and introduce Issei to them.
"Hei. Sirzechs! I want you to meet my younger brother.
Hyoudou Issei! He's the one I told you guys about!"
Both Sirzechs and Grayfia widened their eyes hearing
that statement. They look at Issei, back to Zack and
back to Issei again.
"You're the 'younger brother' that Zack talks about?!
Zack always tell me about the stories how he spent
with a child for 5 years. He even showed me the
photos of his younger brother when he's still a child.
He always ends up crying in the end...I can't believe
it's really you. You've really grown a lot. No wonder I
felt like I heard your name from somewhere."
Sirzechs said it, not believing that Issei is Zack's
younger brother.
"Hei, hei. Didn't you cry as well when you told me
about Rias-san."
Zack retort with his eyes half closed.
"Hahahaha. It's good to see you haven't change a bit,
Zack."
"Heh. You too, Sirzechs."
Zack and Sirzechs shake their hand with one another.
"...Umm...Onii-sama, why are you here again?"
After Rias ask her question again, Sirzechs turn
around and look at her.
"Oh. Sorry about that, Rias. Hm? What are you saying?
Parents' Day is coming soon, right?"
"!? Y-You can't mean-"
"I am thinking to participate. By all means I would love
to see my cute little sister busy in her studies from up
close."
He then handed over an unfilled printed form to her.
"Grayfia, right? You're the one who told Onii-sama?"
Grayfia immediately responds to the troubled looking
Rias by saying,
"Yes, the reports from the school come to me who has
been entrusted with the schedule of the Gremory
Household. Of course I am Sirzechs-sama's Queen as
well, thus I reported it to my master."
After hearing that Risa sighed.
'Huh? Buchou isn't interested in the Parents' Day?
Does she dislike her family coming to look at her?'
Issei tilts his head slightly, seeing his master's
reaction.
"Don't worry Rias, Otou-eu will be coming with me as
well."
'...Buchou's Otou-san as well? I wonder what he looks
like...Oh no...He also watched the Rating Game against
Grilled Chicken...He must have seen the part where
Buchou kissed me...Crap...I'm in a big trouble...'
Issei has a big sweat drops on his head when he
thought about Rias's father visiting Kuoh Academy.
"Onii-sama is the Maou-sama. You shouldn't be leaving
your work for such a thing..."
Sirzechs just smiles.
"But the thing is, I'm not. I'm visiting here for work
too."
"Huh?!" Rias doesn't understand what her older brother
meant.
"Rias, actually I thought about conducting the
conference between the Three Factions in this school.
I came to inspect the meeting place."
Everyone looked shocked after hearing that.
You'll do it here! In this school, Devils, Angels and
Fallen Angels, you'll hold their meeting here?
"...Here? Really?"
Issei then look at Rias as he folds his arms. He then
look down a bit to see the printed form on her hand.
He then smirks.
'Oh well, it's a good thing that Nii-chan is a teacher
here. He can't do anything about the Parents' Day."
"Oh. I almost forgot."
Zack gently hammered his left palm, using his right
hand. He then reach into his pocket, searching for
something. He took out a piece of folded paper and
handed it to Issei.
"What's this?"
Zack just grins.
"Open it."
Issei complied. He had a bad feeling about it.
"!? T-T-This is!?"
Issei's hand is shaking. In fact, his whole body is
shaking.
"What is it Ise?"
Rias closes in the distance between him and look at
the paper.
"!?"
Rias's eyes widened as well. She look at the paper on
issei's hand and back to the printed form on hers, then
back to Issei's.
It's the same piece of form!
Zack grins even more seeing his younger brother's
reaction. Everyone else just tilt their head.
"W-What is this!?"
"Hm? Didn't you read what's written over there? I'm
coming for the Parents' Day as well."
Zack replied it calmly.
"You're a teacher here! You can't do that! What about
the class you have to teach!?"
"Oh that? They have substitute teachers. And what do
you mean I can't do that?! I'm Asia's and your brother!
It's my job to observe you two studying in this school!"
"No you can't! Take this form back, and go back
teaching the classes!"
Issei handed the form back to Zack.
"I don't want to! I want to observe!"
Issei starts to pounce at his older brother.
"Take it back!"
"No!"
"Take it back!"
"No!
"Take it back!"
"No! I will observe you!"
Issei and Zack are rolling on the floor. Fighting.
"Take it back!"
"No!
"Take it back!"
"No!
Everyone sweat drops on their heads. Sirzechs laughs
as he enjoys the scene.
"Hahahahaha. I've never seen Zack acts like this
before. This is new. Maybe I should record this down."
"Take it back!"
"No!"
(At Issei's Apartment)
"Kanpai~"
*Clank!* *Clank!*
Zack and Sirzechs are currently drinking beers using
beer jugs. Issei is now in the kitchen cooking the
group some food. Grayfia tried to help, but Issei said
that she's a guest so she shouldn't. But weird thing is
that Sirzechs seemed to be relieved when Issei turned
down Grayfia's offer to help him cook.
"Phew~ I haven't enjoyed a beer for a long time. It
sure is refreshing."
"...I am glad that my sister wasn't causing you any
trouble."
"Rias-san? No way, Sirzechs! Rias-san is a really good
girl...Yes, Rias-san is such a wonderful girl! She's too
good for Ise as a matter of fact."
In Issei's apartment living room, Sirzechs is sitting
next to Zack. They seems to be enjoying having their
conversations. Grayfia is standing beside Sirzech.
While Rias and Asia is stiing on the opposite side.
*Snap!*
Issei who is in the kitchen heard what his older
brother said.
'That guy...He's drunk...That's for sure...'
After the fight in the clubroom, Zack invited his old
friend to his apartment...Well, its Issei's but moving on.
He invited Sirzechs to stay at the apartment for a day
at least and have dinner at here.
At first, Sirzechs was silent for a moment, but maybe
after remembering that Rias was living at here,
"That's fine with me." is what he said hapilly.
"No! No!"
Rias was resisting it cutely. Her face was red. She's
scared of what her brother, who's also the Maou,
would say.
"Oh yea...Sirzechs, this is..."
Zack tried to ask his old friend something, he moves
his eyes to Grayfia who's standing next to the latter
one.
"Yes, she's Grayfia."
Maou-sama answers Zack's question.
"...Actually she's my wife."
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh?"
Everyone except Rias let out gasps, Issei, who just got
out from the kitchen while holding a tray of dishes fill
with food, gasps the loudest. He sets the food down
while looking at Grayfia.
*Pinch~*
Grayfia just stands there quietly and is
expressionlessly pinching Maou-sama's cheek.
"I am the maid, Grayfia. I apologise for my master
speaking such nonsense statement."
"It huwts, It huwts, Grayfia."
The angry yet quiet Grayfia and the teary eyed smiling
Maou-sama.
Rias just covered her face with her hands from the
embarrassment.
"Sirzechs, I didn't know you were married. You sure
are one lucky guy. To be able to marry someone so
beautiful."
Zack makes a toothy grin to his old friend.
"Hehehehe. Thanks."
Sirzechs just scratch the back of his head and smiles
sheepishly.
Grayfia seems to be annoyed by the conversation. She
pinches Sirzechs's cheek again.
"G-Grayfia. Pwease. It huwts. It really huwts."
Sirzechs still hasn't lose his smile.
{...I wonder how Rias Gremory would look like if she
wears the maid uniform...}
After hearing what Ddraig said in his head, Issei who is
sitting beside his master starts to imagine his master
wearing the French maid outfit.
"..."
Rias look at Issei and narrows her eyes. Her cheeks
redden a bit as she knows what Issei is thinking.
*Pinch~*
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!"
"Don't imagine me dressing in that outfit."
"Wokay. Wokay. I'm sowwy. I'm sowwy."
Issei, who got his cheek pinched by his master, hard,
is having teary eyes.
"...Curse you stupid Perverted Dragon..."
{Hahahahahahaha. My pleasure. Hahahahahaha.}
Issei is still having teary eyes as he rubs the sore on
his cheek. He mentally cursed Ddraig.
Rias then mutter at Issei.
"...Ise, why didn't you stop Zack Nii-sama when he
invited Onii-sama to stay at here?"
"I didn't have a choice. He is Maou-sama and Nii-
chan's old friend. There's no way I can stop that."
"Jeez...This is so embarrassing and awkward."
(In Issei's Room)
"No-No way... I can't sleep together with Ise?"
After fun party was over, it was the time to sleep.
Issei is currently wearing his sleeping attire which is a
dark grey tank top and a black shorts.
Rias is wearing a light purple night gown and so is
Asia. But hers is light blues.
Sirzechs has changed into a grey pajamas.
Zack and Grayfia haven't change into their sleeping
attires yet.
In front of Issei's room, Rias is approaching towards
Sirzechs with a sad face. Zack, Asia and Grayfia are
standing beside her.
"Sirzechs, you sure that you're not gonna sleep in my
room?"
"Thanks for the offer Zack, but I wanted to talk with
him a bit while being on the bed. Sorry, Rias, but just
for tonight lend me Hyoudou Issei-kun."
'...I see...Maou-sama wants to sleep while talking with
me. He did call dibs by placing the futon for guests in
the room...'
Issei look at the floor of his room. There's already a
futon placed in his room.
Rias who has been sleeps with Issei every night in my
bed. She seems to be completely sad from not being
able to sleep with him.
Akeno has also advised something to Issei.
"Buchou's degree of dependence towards you will be
increasing by the day."
That's what she said.
Rias even went so far by saying that she has an
illness, that if she doesn't sleep with Issei, she'll die.
Asia, who is also sleeping with him, said that if she
doesn't have him by her side like usual she gets sad
and hates it. She used to be okay sleeping on her on.
That is until Rias moves into Issei's apartment.
Sleeping with Issei has become part of their daily life.
'Hmmm...That reminds me, recently that Perverted
Baldy, Matsuda told me, while shedding tears,
"I smell Asia-chan's scent from Hyoudou-kun! What's
the meaning of this?"
...I never knew he has enhanced smell. But he used it
in a weird way...'
'Ever since they said that, there has been weird
rumours spreading around the school...
Issei just shake his head to shake off the thoughts in
his head.
"Ise..."
*Hug.*
The one who suddenly hug Issei is Rias. Issei blushes
slightly. He's embarrassed and pressured because his
master's older brother, Maou-sama is standing beside
him.
"Can you sleep alone? Are you alright with me not
being beside you? I am not alright though. Just by you
not being beside me..."
"...I'm not alright as well...But it's just for today only.
Let's endure this together."
Issei did the best he could to soothe Rias's sadness.
He gently hugs her back.
"Ojou-sama, now let's return back to our room. I will
be there in your room as well. Well then, Sirzechs-
sama, good night."
Grayfia takes away Rias who was saying something.
Buchou went away from my body.
"I know, Grayfia..."
Rias's expression tells everyone that she seems to be
regretting it.
"Ah, Um, Ise-san, good night. I also think it's
unfortunate but tonight I'll sleep in my room."
Slightly bowing her head, Asia headed off towards her
room while keeping her smile on. But Issei can tell
that it's a forced smile.
"W-Wait."
Issei suddenly grab onto Rias's hand.
*Chu.*
Rias widened her eyes when she felt something warm
gently landed on her forehead. It's Issei's lips. He's
kissing her forehead. His lips then leaves her forehead.
Rias is blushing for the sudden kiss. Issei shows his
toothy grin to her.
"I hope that will make you feel better."
Rias blushes even more. She just nervously nod her
head.
"Auu...Ise-san..."
Asia is about to cry from seeing Issei kissing Rias.
"Don't worry Asia, I didn't forget about you. Come
here."
Issei wave at her, calling her to "Come here". Asia
smiles happily and rushes towards him
*Chu.*
He kisses Asia's forehead as well.
"...How's that?"
Asia is happy and her face shows a real smile this
time. There's also blushes on her cheek.
"Arigato, Ise-san. With this, I shall sleep peacefully
tonight."
Zack and Sirzechs look at them with a smile. Grayfia
just remain in her neutral expression. With that settled,
everyone is off to bed.
The only two left were Issei and Sirzechs.
"Now, shall we enter inside?"
"Yes. After you, Maou-sama."
Issei seems to be more confident after kissing Rias
and Asia.
The lights were turned off. Issei is currently lying on
his bed, while Sirzech is lying on his futon beside the
former one. Issei side glance at Sirzechs who seems
to be sleeping.
"...Ano. I'm sorry."
"Hm? For what?"
"For making Maou-sama sleep on the floor."
"It's alright. I should probably thank you instead."
"? Why?"
"Nobody in my world treats me like a normal guest.
Things like this don't work over there. You and Zack
are the first one to treat me like a normal people. I
have to admit that I find this more comforting than any
lavish pampering could give me. A chance to be
normal."
"...I see. I think I understand what you mean."
"When Rias is in the Underworld, she was never as
cheerful as she was now...She really enjoys living in
the Human World."
'Really?' Issei thought for a second.
"...and it's also thanks to you that she's happy."
"No. You should thank the others. I'm still consider
myself as a new member. There's still a lot of things
for me to learn."
"Hyoudou Issei-kun."
"Yes, Maou-sama?"
"Please take care of my sister, Rias."
Issei got up and sit on his bed. He's expression is
serious.
"Of course! In the name of the Red Dragon Emperor
and as the Pawn of Rias Gremory-sama, I shall protect
her until the day I die!"
"Hahaha. You don't have to be so serious. But I feel
relief, knowing that I can count on you. Thank you."
Sirzechs suddenly got up and sit on his futon.
"Oh. Would you mind if I call you "Ise-kun"?"
"Of course not. It's would be an honour!"
"Then, Ise-kun, could you call me by my given name as
well? Or, you can call me "Onii-chan" if you like."
"T-That would be a little too much for someone like
me...B-But, would it be acceptable for me to call you
"Sirzechs-sama"?"
Issei made a bitter smile and scratch his cheek.
"That's fine."
"T-Thank you, Sirzechs-sama."
"By the way, I heard you met Azazel."
Sirzechs said that to Issei.
"Yes."
"I hear he did nothing to you but did he say something
to you?"
"Well...he just called me there to thank me for stopping
Kokabiel. That's it."
"I see. I didn't think that Azazel will personally thank
someone like that, especially a Devil..."
"...Sirzechs-sama, I heard that Azazel likes to research
on Sacred Gears."
"Yes. Azazel has a strong interest in the Sacred Gears.
Your Boosted Gear is no exception. Actually, same as
you, a person possessing the Longinus has gathered
alongside him."
".....For what purpose?"
"I don't know that. But, Azazel is the Governor of an
Organisation with the Power to affect Heaven,
Underworld and the Human World. If he uses that, it
will span a lot of digression. However, he doesn't like
war like Kokabiel does. It's because of that that the
fallen angels were the first to withdraw from the great
war of the past."
"Yea...I heard that too...But what is he up to? I can't
even predict his moves..."
As Issei puts his hand on his chin and think about
Azazel, Sirzechs speaks in an enjoyable tone.
"Don't worry. I guarantee your safety. Finally, the
Legendary Dragon came to the Devil side so I'll have
them give you a good treatment. And also my little
sister really cares about you a lot. I can see that she
is really happy when you are around, with her. I heard
from Grayfia that she chose to give her first kiss to
you."
Issei's face reddened immediately after hearing that.
"!? A-About t-that..."
"Hahahaha. Don't worry about it. I'll be cheering for
you two secretly. Along with Grayfia."
'A-Along with Grayfia-san?! Really?!'
Issei's eyes widened slightly hearing that statement
coming from Sirzechs.
"!? Ise-kun. May I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"What are those spiked chains tattoos on your neck,
arms and legs?"
Issei look at his hand as Sirzechs point at the tattoos.
"These are seals. Seals made to suppress my power.
I've asked Asia to do it."
"What for? Do you have difficulty in controlling your
power?"
"N-No...not really...One of the reason is that I try not to
attract too much attention. But I can see that it's not
really working. The other one is...I don't really want to
talk about it...I'm sorry...Let's just say that it's to keep
it in check..."
If one could look close enough, they can see that Issei
is shivering slightly while his left hand is grabbing his
right upper arm tightly. Sirzechs is one of them. He
can see that there's fear in Issei's eyes.
'To keep it in check? What does he mean by that?
There's something this boy is hiding...something that
scares him a lot...'
Sirzechs thought about it for a moment. He's worried
about the boy.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed my luck."
"N-No. I'm the one who needs to be sorry, Sirzechs-
sama."
"Let's just sleep for now. You have school tomorrow."
"H-Hai. Good night, Sirzechs-sama."
"...Good night, Ise-kun."
(At Kuoh Academy)
Issei is currently sitting on his seat and look out the
window right now. Early in the morning, Rias has
decided to take both her older brother and Grayfia to
visit Kuoh Academy, before the Parents' Day starts.
Zack is still at the apartment, trying to find the best
suits he can wear for this occasion.
"Look, look! This girl's breast is so big!"
"Oh my god! I want to touch them! Hey Ise, you can
take a peek at it if you want. Just kiss my feet and I'll
let you look for a second."
Motohama and Matsuda are currently gathering at his
seat. They have dirty magazines on their hand.
Issei's eyebrow twitches as he's irritated by their
presence.
"Why do you two perverts always gather at my seat?
Get away from me and don't call me as if we're close
friends."
"Don't be like that Ise! We're only gathering at your
seat because there's a higher chance for a girl to
come up to you."
Matsuda said it like it's no big deal.
"...So you're basically using me as your bait for the
girls? You two really sicken me. and stop calling me as
if we are friends!"
*Bam!* *Bam!*
"Ouchhhh!"
"Arghhh! Who did that?!"
Motohama and Matsuda are shedding tears of pain as
something hard just hit on their head. The Perverted
Baldy turn to see two girls holding their shinai.
It's Murayama and Katase.
"Why can't you two just leave Hyoudou-kun alone?!"
"Yea! You two has caused enough trouble already!
Leave him be!"
"Shit! It's the kendo girls! Run!"
On Mtohama's signal, the two Perverted Duo ran out
of the classroom.
"Haih...Thank you, Murayama-san, Katase-san."
Issei first gave out a tired sigh and he thanked the two
kendo girls with a smile.
"It's okay, Hyou-"
""Ise" is fine. My friends always call me Ise."
"!?"
For unknown reason, Murayama and Katase blushes
when Issei said that.
"T-Then...is Ise-kun okay?"
Murayama asked him nervously.
"Hm? Sure. Why not?"
The two girls' facial expression just brighten up in an
instant.
""Thank you!""
Before Issei could even say anything, they walk away
from his seat.
"...That's strange..."
Xenovia suddenly stood up and walk towards his seat.
"Ise."
"Yea?"
"...I apologise for what said and happened last time."
"Oh. That time huh...It's fine. Just don't say it in front
of everyone again."
"Yes. I agree..."
"Than-"
"That's why we should use this and practice first."
Xenovia suddenly pull out..."protections" out of
nowhere.
Issei just face palm after seeing what Xenovia brought
out.
'Should have figured out this will happen...'
"Xenovia-san, what are those?"
Asia asked innocently as she walk towards Xenovia.
"Oh. Asia, you should use them too."
Xenovia then handed one to Asia.
"? Thank you?"
Issei starts to panic when he saw one of the
"protection" is on Asia's hand. He tries not to get any
attention.
"Oi. Oi. Don't give that to her Xenovia."
"? ? ? ? ?"
A lot of question marks pop out from Asia's head.
"What is going on here?"
Kiryuu suddenly jump into the conversation.
"Kiryuu-san, do you know what this is?"
Asia showed her the "protection" on her hand.
"Oh~ This is *whisper* for doing *whisper you know
*whisper*."
"! Hau...."
Asia's face becomes red right away, after finishing
hearing Kiryuu's explanation.
'Why...Why do these things always happened at the
wrong time...'
Issei slump on his desk. He just gave up. Xenovia just
lower herself to Issei's level.
"So Ise, about our first session-"
"Please give me a break~!"
Issei ran out of the classroom right away in Godspeed,
leaving a pile of dust behind him.
"...He sure is fast."
Kiryuu seems to be amazed on how fast her classmate
just ran.
(Somewhere at Kuoh Academy)
Issei is currently walking on the school ground after he
ran out from his classroom.
"...Hey Ddraig, given our current state, how often can I
enjoy my peace now?"
{Hmm...From what we've been through so far, you 40%
of the chances of getting peace.}
"That bad huh..."
"...Have "they" show any sign of acting up again?"
{...No. There's no sign of "them" acting. Don't worry
about it.}
"I don't know. So far, I've unsealed and use my full
power twice. I fear "they" might awake again..."
{Don't worry, partner. We'll figure out a way to stop
"them" some day...}
"Oh, Ise."
Issei stop his movement when he heard a familiar
voice calling him.
"Oh, Buchou, Akeno-san, Kaichou and Fuku-Kaichou."
Issei bow his head slightly when he saw Rias and
Akeno are standing next to Sona and Tsubaki.
"Did something happen? Why are you here?"
"N-Nothing. I'm just walking around getting fresh air.
That's all."
Issei made a fake smile and lied.
"Hyoudou Issei-kun, I heard from Rias that you two
met with Azazel and also the White Dragon Emperor."
"Y-Yea. Azazel just thanked me for stopping Kokabiel,
while Vali just came here for a talk."
"Thanked you? And for a talk?"
Sona raises her eyebrow. Rias look at her best friend.
"We don't know why, but he seems to be under Fallen
Angels' command and can't act up."
"No...I can tell from the look that they can barely
control Vali. Just by the way he act when he's here...I
can see that he really wants to fight me."
Issei narrows his eyes when he said that. He
remembers everything, what the White Dragon Emperor
said, how he acted, his face. Everything.
"Let's just hope that he doesn't do anything on the
academy's ground."
Sona said it with a serious expression.
Issei agreed to what Sona said by nodding his head
slowly.
"...But, we got enough of our own problems already."
"Yes, truly."
"Then, goodbye."
"Yea. Farewell."
Rias and Sona's face are in a worried expression. Sona
then walks away from the group and Tsubaki followed
after her.
"...Is it about the Parents' Day thing?"
Issei asked when he look at Akeno.
"Hai. They're extremely worried about it."
"I can understand why Buchou is worried, but Kaichou
as well?"
"!?"
Issei stopped his thinking when he felt something was
wrapping around his hand.
It's Akeno. She is currently wrapping her hand around
his. She slowly moves closer towards him.
"A-Akeno-san?"
"Ufufu. I can't wait to until weekends. I shall have my
first date with Ise-kun...Just by thinking spending time
with Ise-kun makes my body so hot."
Akeno pushes her breast onto his arm. This causes
Issei to blush heavily.
"Akeno."
Rias said it in a strict manner and strict face.
"Ara ara. Ufufufu."
"...Good grief, I really can't take my eyes off you."
(At 2nd Year Classroom)
The Parents' Day has begun. Parents of Issei's
classmates keep on entering into the class. That
would also include Zack. It seems like he brought the
video camera that he used to record the battle
between Issei and Kokabiel. Tiamat really enjoyed the
whole show.
They're currently having an English class. The male
teacher has distributed a rectangular clay on each and
every one of the table. Modelling clay, to be more
specific.
"For English class today, I have you make anything you
like with the modelling clay on your desk. You can
make animals, people, houses and anything else.
You're basically just going to shape exactly what is in
your mind. That's one way to communicate in English."
Issei look at the rectangular modelling clay on his
desk with a bored expression.
"...Exactly what's in my mind, huh? But there nothing I
can think of."
"Asia-chan, look over here~."
Issei turn around when he heard the familiar voices.
He half closed his eyes when he saw who just said
that. It's his older brother, Zack.
"Hi Ise-chan~ Smile at the video camera~"
"..."
Issei just facepalmed upon witnessing his older
brother's action. Asia just made a sheepish smile on
the video camera.
'Crap. Everyone is doing their things except me. But
what should I do?'
Issei is puzzled. There's nothing he can think about.
{Feeling stuck, partner?}
" Yea. Kinda. I don't know what I should make."
{Close your eyes. Concentrate. Just move your hands
naturally when the image appears in your head.}
"...Alright. I'll give it a try."
"SniiiiiHahhhhh~~"
Issei took in a deep breath, and exhale slowly. He
closes his eyes and tries to concentrate. Following
every single step from his most trusted partner.
{Move your hand when the images appear in your head.}
Issei focuses even more when he heard Ddraig's serious
tone.
"..."
Suddenly an image comes into his mind. Finally! An
idea!
"Ise~"
It was Rias who was smiling at him. She's calling out
for him in a seductive tone. And...she's naked.
Issei can see it clearly. Her breasts. Her waist. Her
hips. Her thighs. He can see it clearly.
"What the-"
Issei suddenly said it out loud. He's shocked when he
saw the naked Rias in his head. The blushes proves
everything.
{Pfft! Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Man, you should've
seen your face! Hahahahaha! O~ It's priceless!
Hahahahahah!}
It seems like Ddraig just pulled a prank on his host. This
just causes Issei to blush even more.
"Damn you..."
Issei was about to curse his Dragon, but,
"Hyo-Hyoudou-kun...."
Issei look up to see his teacher shaking heavily. He
seems to be pointing at Issei. Wait, no. he's pointing at
Issei's modelling clay. The teacher is showing an
astonished expression.
Issei look down to his desk, and there it was, a
magnificent statue of Rias Gremory present.
"Ooh!"
There's an excited cheer from the class. More like,
they're all looking at Issei, they let out a breath of
admiration.
"Ooh!"
"? ? ? I-I made this...?"
Issei tilt his head slightly while looking at the mini
Rias.
"W-Wonderful... Hyoudou-kun. To think that you had
this sort of talent... This class was the right choice
after all. Once again I was able to draw out a
student's hidden ability..."
The English teacher said that while his eyes are
soaked with tears.
"T-That is Rias-senpai? Shit! As I thought, Hyoudou-
kun you rascal! With senpai....!"
"It looks exactly like her! It's so beautiful!"
The girls were complimenting Issei's work, while the
boys were cursing him.
Suddenly, Issei can hear screams nearby as well but
the moment someone in the class said "5000!", the
class started changing.
"No, 6000!"
"I'll pay 7000! I'll be skilful with Gremory-senpai's
body!"
"Don't joke with me! I'll buy it! Tonight she'll keep me
company! 8000!"
The English class which used the modelling clay did a
complete change, it changed into an auction house for
the statue of Rias Gremory that Issei made.
Though, it's mostly the boys who wanted to buy the
statue. One of the girl suddenly screams out.
"No! You can't! Ise-kun should give his work to Rias-
Oneesama! Only she has the right to have this model!"
Issei turn to see it was Murayama, who said that out
loud.
'Hmm...Maybe I'll give this to Buchou."
Issei thinks about it while looking at the mini Buchou.
(At Lunch Break)
"It is well made."
Rias said it with a smile while touching the statue
made of modelling clay during the class. In the end,
Issei decided that he won't sell the statue to his
classmates. He chose to follow Murayama's idea and
give it to his master.
It was by coincident when Issei and Asia outside to
buy something to drink, they've encountered Rias and
Akeno in front of the vending machine.
"Ara ara, as expected of Ise-kun who looks and
touches Buchou's body everyday."
Akeno-san was also smiling, surprised by the quality of
the statue.
"N-No! I didn't touch Buchou's body everyday! I
swear!"
Issei raises his hands up and shaking them. Denying
the statement made by Akeno.
"Would you make one for me as well next time? If you
want to reproduce my body I will remove my clothes.
You can touch me."
"Wha?! S-Seriously!?"
Issei blushes hearing that bold statement coming from
Akeno.
{Hohoho~ That would be great!} Ddraig suddenly pop
out and have lecherous tone.
"No. You can't!"
"No. You can't!"
Both Rias and Asia reject the offer made by Akeno
right away.
{Auuuuu...} Ddraig is disappointed.
"By the way, Buchou. Did Sirzechs-sama come?"
On my question, Buchou puts a hand on her forehead
and let out her breath.
"Yeah, he came along with my father."
'...So her father came as well, huh? What kind of class
visit was it, I'm a little curious. Was it like mine?'
Issei thought about the scenario in Rias's cases. He
tries imagine it.
"A photo shoot of the Witch Girl!?"
"As an Ex-Photography Club Member, I must record
every detail through my lenses!"
Issei, Rias, Asia and Akeno all look to see a group of
student rushing towards the gym.
"A Witch Girl?"
Issei raises his eyebrow while Rias widened her eyes
and said,
"It can't be!"
"Ara ara. Ufufu."
It looks like only Rias and Akeno know who it is.
Akeno seems to be enjoying it.
(At the Gym Stadium)
*Kaccha!* *Kaccha!* *Kaccha!* *Kaccha!* *Kaccha!*
*Kaccha!*
Flashes kept going on and off, the men who were
holding cameras were photographing something at a
corner of the corridor.
"One more, please!"
"C-C-Could you please look at this way?"
As Issei, Rias, Asia and Akeno enters the gym, Issei is
confused by the scenario.
On the stage, is a beautiful girl with long, black hair
tied in twin ponytails and violet has a child-like body,
albeit with large breast.
She's holding a long magic wand and some sort of
uniform. It's pink in colour. But her shirt only covers
until her solar plexus, leaving her navel visible. Her
skirt is also so short that her panties are intermittently
being exposed.
"What is that?"
"That's Magical Girl Milky Spiral Seven Alternative
Cosplay..."
Rias said it with an "I give up" expression.
"How do you know this kind of things?"
Issei look at his master.
"W-Well..."
A big sweat drop on Rias head as she tries to explain.
"Hey hey! What do you think you're doing?! You're at a
school!"
The Secretary of Student Council, Saji suddenly got
onto the stage and block the cosplay girl.
Girls who looked like members of the student council
as well come following Saji towards the photography
scene.
"Hey hey, disperse disperse! Today's the day for
displaying classes to the public! Don't make a ruckus
at this kind of place!"
That big of a crowd was disappearing. The young men
with the cameras who were photographing were also
leaving reluctantly due to Saji's pushing.
The remaining people were Issei's group and Saji's
group, and the cosplay girl.
"You too, please don't wear that kind of costume.
Would you be a parent perhaps? Even if that's the
case, you know there's a dress code according to the
place. This is troublesome."
"Eh, but this is my uniform~"
Saji pressed his warning but the cosplay girl just
posed in cute poses and didn't pay heed.
*Sniff, sniff.*
"!?"
Issei widened his eyes when he smelled the scent
coming from the cosplay girl.
"I-It can't be..."
It appears that he figured out who this cosplay girl is.
*Open!*
The gym door was suddenly by force.
"Saji, what's going on here?"
The Kaichou said that strictly.
"Oh, Kaichou, I was just-"
While Saji tries to explain to his master,
"Sona-chan! Found you~~~"
"!?"
After finding Kaichou, cosplay girl happily jump down
from the stage and run towards Sona. The latter one
seems to be shock seeing the former's face.
'Looks like I'm right...'
Issei can tell right away that his assumption was
correct just by seeing Sona's reaction. The reaction is
just like when Rias saw her Onii-sama, and when he
saw his Nii-chan.
"Sona-chan, what's wrong? You're blushing crazily.
You've finally been reunited with your Onee-sama. I
think you should be much happier to see me! I
wouldn't mind us cuddling and having some girl-on-girl
action, where you say "Onee-sama!" and I say "So-
tan!" you know?"
"..."
Sona who is strict at most of the time has a sweat
drop down to her cheek. She's nervous.
"Serafall-sama, it's been a long time."
"So she really is Kaichou's Onee-sama, huh?"
Issei looked towards the siblings.
Rias walk to his side and tell him,
"Serafall Leviathan-sama."
"!? She's one of the Yondai Maou-sama?!"
Issei's eyes widened slightly hearing the name of
Sona's older sister.
"You're actually super duper happy to see your Onee-
sama again, aren't you?"
"..."
Serafall keeps on chatting happily with her younger
sister. Even though it's a one-sided conversation.
"Serafall-sama, it's been a while."
Rias greeted Serafall when she walk towards the latter
one.
"Ah, Rias-chan. It's been ages! Have you been doing
well?"
"I've been well. Thank you. Did you come today for
Parents' Day?"
"Yeah! Sona-chan is really mean. She didn't tell me a
word about Parents' Day! Geez! I was devastated! I
was so angry, Onee-chan was going to attack
Heaven!"
Serafall said it as she aims the magic wand to the sky
with both her hands.
"...I can't differentiate whether or not she's being
serious or just joking around..."
{Kukuku. If she attacks the Heaven, I would like to
witness it first-hand.}
Issei muttered it to himself, while Ddraig whispered it to
his host.
"?"
Serafall look behind Rias and widened her eyes in
surprise and interest, seeing the brown-haired boy. She
then points at Issei with her index finger.
"Rias-chan, is that the kid with the Red Dragon
Emperor, Ddraig that I've heard about?"
"Yes. Ise, come and introduce yourself."
Following Rias's order, Issei lowers his head and greet
her.
"Nice to meet you, I am Hyoudou Issei. I am Rias
Gremory-sama's Pawn. It's an honour to meet you,
Leviathan-sama."
"Nice to meet you. I am the Maou Serafall Leviathan.
Call me Levia-tan!"
While turning sideways, she makes a peace sign, and
sticks her tongue out while smiling, in a cute way.
"H-Hai..."
Issei answers with a sweat drop on the top of his
head. He couldn't believe that the current Leviathan-
sama acts like this.
Sona then shows a strict face.
"Onee-sama, I am in charge of the Student Council
here. Even if you are my family, such behaviour and
attire is completely unacceptable!"
"But you can't say that Sona-chan! If that's what you
think, then your Onee-sama will be very sad. You know
that your Onee-sama is into Magical Girl, don't you?! I
will use my shiny stick and slaughter all the Angels
and Fallen Angels!"
"Onee-sama, please behave yourself. Your little
sparkles could level small country in a second."
Issei look at Rias for a while after witnessing how the
siblings communicate with each other.
"Buchou, you've known Kaichou for a long time right?
Back then, when Kokabiel came, why Kaichou didn't
call her Onee-sama? It's not like Leviathan-sama and
Kaichou don't get along with each other."
"Well..."
Rias doesn't know how to answer that question. Akeno
answers Issei's question istead.
"That's correct, Ise-kun. Serafall-sama loves her sister,
Sona-Kaichou, so much that calling her would only
cause trouble."
"She's that protective, huh?"
Issei look back at the two siblings.
Sona's face was also completely red. It was like
looking at her elder sister, her speech and conduct,
she was feeling completely embarrassed. Noticing
that, Leviathan-sama looked into Kaichou's face with
worry.
"Sona-chan, what's wrong? Your face is completely
red, you know?"
Serafall starts to move around Sona, checking her
facial expression from different angle. Sona just
stands there, shaking.
"Uuh, I can't stand this anymore!"
That calm and composed Sona had her eyes wet, and
ran away from that place.
"Wait! Hold on, Sona-chan! Where are you going
leaving your Onee-chan behind!"
Maou-shoujo-sama ran behind her.
"Please don't follow me!"
"Noooooo! Don't abandon your Onee-chaaaaaaan! So-
taaaaaan!"
"I have asked you so many times not to add 'tan'!"
"No So-tan, No Life~!"
"Get out of those clothes!"
Seeing his master has ran off, Saji went off to follow
her.
"I guess I better go and back Kaichou up."
Issei makes a half grin and say,
"Yea. It's nice to see you, Saji. Good luck."
Rias puts her hand on her forehead, like she's having a
headache.
"Haih...I hate to say this, but the current Yondai Maou
are all like this."
"Hahah...I can imagine it after witnessing Sirzech-sama
and Leviathan-sama."
Issei made a forced smile on his own comment.
"Oh. Ise~!"
Issei turn his head around, hearing someone is calling
for him.
"!?"
He widened his eyes when he saw Zack is running
towards him in high speed with his arms opened.
"I~ Found~ You~!"
Zack pounces at his younger brother. Attempting to
hug the latter one. Issei just side step.
*Bam!*
"..."
Issei silently look at his brother who just hit the wall in
front of the downstage.
"How could you move?!You were supposed to catch
me!"
Zack is arguing with Issei while covering his nose.
He's having teary eyes.
"Like hell I'll catch you!"
Issei and Zack starts to fight again.
""Oh. Rias. You're here as well."
The voice came from a man. A middle-aged looking
man with long crimson-red hair that is tied loose
ponytail with a black hairband. He has a bright blue
eyes. He also has a short and red beard.
"Otou-sama!"
Issei and Asia look at the middle-aged man with their
eyes widened.
'Oh no...So this is how Buchou's father look like...I
hope he doesn't kill me...'
Issei is worried at the presence of Rias's father.
As the group walk closer towards Rias's father, he set
his eyes on Issei.
"Are you Hyoudou Issei? I am Rias's father. Thank you
for looking after Rias."
Issei bow his head down in respect.
"H-Hello sir. I'm Hyoudou Issei. Rias Gremory-sama's
Pawn."
Zack walk towards the group after he recovers from
the pain on his face.
"I bump into Gremory-san in the hallway. We were just
having a talk while walking around the school. Anyway,
it's tiring to talk here. Why don't you have dinner at
our place and we'll continue talking at there?"
"Oh, that would be excellent."
Rias's Father immediately agrees with Zack.
""Wha?!""
Both Issei and Rias are shock hearing the adult's
conversation.
"Then, we'll be heading back home first Ise. I'll see
you after school. By the way, Gremory-san, do you
drink?"
"Hahaha. I do."
With that, Zack and Rias's father are gone.
"Hahahaha. What a show. Looks like we'll be having
dinner with Otou-eu tonight."
Sirzechs walk towards the small group.
"Onii-sama...Haihhh..."
Rias just gave up
(At Issei's Apartment)
Everyone is currently sitting in the living room.
"Oh! This is splendid!"
"It looks delicious!"
Rias's father and Sirzechs look at the food in front of
them happily.
"I hope you all like it. This is the best I can make."
Issei came out from the kitchen while holding another
dish on his hand. He's wearing a white apron.
"Oh. This smells great."
Rias's father look at the dish that Issei just settled on
the table.
"Well then, why don't we start with a toast?"
Zack, Lord Gremory and Sirzechs all lift their beer
jugs.
"""Kanpai~!"""
*Clank~*
Zack then starts to play the video he recorded in the
class on the television
"Ara, Asia-chan, you're looking good in the video! Ise,
you're feisty as always."
Zack is happy and complimented Asia while looking at
her on the TV. He also commented on his younger
brother.
"S-Shut up, Nii-chan."
Issei blushes slightly after he heard Zack's comment.
While drinking beer, Rias's father was heartily laughing,
seeing the brother's interaction
While having dinner at the Issei's apartment, the
admiration meeting for today's classroom visit had
already begun.
The participants were, Zack, Rias's father and
Sirzechs.
While gulping down sake, they were comparing the
video they shot mutually.
The girls however...were at the end of living room with
their faces red and were praying
"Please let this end quickly! Please let this end
quickly! Please let this end quickly!"
Rias's father suddenly look at Zack.
"Let's see the video of Rias next."
"Oh? You also recorded Rias-san?"
"Of course! It's a parent's duty to watch his daughter
at work!"
Rias's father said it happily and proudly.
The next video shows Rias who is sitting in her class.
"This is... A hell...This is a new kind of torture......"
Rias is shaking her whole body while blushing to the
maximum limit. She then covers her face with her
hands.
"Please look! Our Ria-tan is raising her hand and
answering Sensei's question!"
Sirzechs is commenting on his little sister's
blossoming with a high tension.
"I can't stand this! Onii-sama, you baka!"
Rias ran away not being able to bear it anymore!
"Buchou!"
Issei, who became worried and chased after his
master.
"Hahahaha. Look at her, even the way she ran away
from here is so cute."
Sirzechs said it with a smile, after seeing his sister
fled the scene.
"..."
Grayfia who has been quiet from the beginning
decided to take matters into her own hand. She pulls
out a Harisen out of nowhere.
*Pak!*
She uses her harisen and slams it onto Sirzechs's
head.
"Hahahahahahahaha!"
Zack is laughing hard while pointing at Sirzechs who is
now knocked down by his wife.
Issei stops himself when he was Rias sitting in front of
his room.
She was puffing her cheeks as if in displeasure.
"Bu-Buchou. Would you like to come into my room?"
Rias just nodded without saying any words.
After entering the room, Rias jumped on the bed, and
was quiet while lying upside down.
Issei just silently stand in his room and searching for
some sensible words. He look around his room. The
room is quite dim, given that he didn't switch on the
light.
"Well, at least they get along together right?"
"......"
Issei said it while scratching his cheek and smile
bitterly. But Rias didn't reply at all.
"......I know. I am happy too that Otou-sama and Zack
Nii-sama were talking happily."
"...Hey, Ise."
"Hm?"
"Are you happy to have met me? I am happy that I
have met Ise."
Issei smiles when he heard that. He sit down on the
side of his bed.
"I am happy that I have met Buchou as well. I've
travelled around the world, visiting different places,
meeting different people...I still don't know why, but
whenever I'm with Buchou, just by seeing your smile, it
calms me a lot...I also feel happy whenever I see
Buchou's smile. That's why, I will do everything I can
to protect Buchou."
Rias raises her head immediately after hearing what
Issei had said.
"R-Really?! Did you really feel that way?!"
"Yea. And because of that, I will protect Buchou. I will
protect everyone that I care about. That is my main
priority. I will blow away anyone wh- !?"
Rias suddenly raises her arms and wrap them around
Issei's neck. She slowly shorten her distance they had.
*Kiss*
Rias delivers her fourth kiss to Issei. While they were
still kissing, Rias abruptly moves her tongue into
Issei's mouth. Their having their first deep kiss.
Issei had to admit that he was shock when his master
made the move. But he choose to remain calm in this
situation. He too, slowly raises his arms and wrap
them around her back, pulling her even closer.
Issei and Buchou's tongues intertwined even more. But
sooner or later, they are bound to take in some air. As
they move apart from each otherm a thread of saliva
was going through mine and Buchou's mouth.
Both of them are currently blushing in the dim room.
"That was...amazing..."
Rias said it with a warm smile. She might not notice it
but her smile means a lot to Issei.
*click.*
*Shine!*
Someone turn on the lights in the room.
"Uhh...It's not fair, Buchou!"
Asia appears in front of Issei's room. She's teary eyed.
Rias look at Asia with a smirk. Her expressions shows
as if she had won in something.
"Akeno had taught me something, it is, that you have
to be quick in everything."
She winks at Asia.
"Mou!"
Asia is mad. She then pulls Issei away from her.
"Then, I will take Ise-san by force!"
Asia declares war against Rias. Issei is shock hearing
Asia's another bold statement.
"A-Asia?!"
Rias and Asia are glaring at each other.
Grayfia suddenly walk into the room and intervenes.
She still holding onto her harisen.
"You two, fighting isn't good. I think especially in front
of Issei-sama, it's unwise."
She separates the two who are glaring at each other,
and calms them down. The girls were actually scared
of Grayfia, due to her holding a Harisen. But Gtayfia
didn't notice it.
"There, there. Listen to Grayfia and stop fighting."
"Onii-sama?"
"Rias, I had a thought."
"What would that be?"
"Why don't you release your Bishop soon?"
"Huh?!"
Rias seems to be shock hearing her brother saying
that. Issei remains quiet and listens to the
conversation.
'Her other Bishop...Finally, I get to meet another
teammate...I wonder if it's he or she?'
{It would be good if it's she, and better if her breasts
are as big as Gremory or Himejima.}
" Shut up you Perverted Breast-Lover Dragon."
