Yubelluna blushed as her master dug his face deeper into her bountiful breast, smiling (rather cutely in her eyes) all the while in his sleep. "Phenex-sama, it's not that I d-don't like this, but it is time to wake up for breakfast." She harshly cursed herself at stuttering as she felt she was too old to act like a high school student or even younger—unlike the rest of Issei's peerage.

She wanted to move because if they didn't move, then the rest of the peerage members would find them—then do some rather unspeakable things to her beloved master, abusing his regeneration in jealousy.

In response, he shifted, but didn't bother himself to wake. He could do whatever he wanted damn it. He was the Issei Phenex, after all. Not that he actually abused his title, and powers, often, even when given a choice. "Let me sleep on your boobs more..." He mumbled, defiantly.

"Issei-sama..." Her blush darkened at his words, also changing the way she addressed him.

To see her master in such a vulnerable state, even as he demanded something of her, she wasn't sure whether to hug him or let him do as he liked. She settled for pet and playing with his silky maple hair; her actions were akin to a mother to one's child. It wasn't everyday that she was able to do that, so that morning was a small blessing of sorts from the usual boring days.

Suddenly, Yubelluna frowned as she remembered something. "Ravel-sama is cooking for you today. She'll be angry if you forgo it."

Instantly, Issei stiffened and reluctantly pulled away from his breast. "Is their enough time for a bath?"

At that, the woman looked to the digital clock on the overly expensive nightstand. "Y-Yes..." Her expression dropped even more. I was so looking forward to... She sighed as her master removed himself from her. "I'll get one ready." With that, she went to bow then to leave to his large private bath.

"Thank you."

"N-No, thank you, Issei-sama..." Hearing his honest words, her frown flipped. Not very many masters gave thanks or was as nice as he was. She would know after all. Nevertheless, it never stopped her from flushing with delight and praise.

[:|:]

Issei yawned as his body sunk into his large tub.

...What the hell is going on—?!

However, inside his mind, he was freaking out. Since when was he, of all people, Issei Phenex or even Issei-sama? He was freaking Issei Hyoudou, not Issei Phenex. What was even more mind-blowing was that he was already used it, as shown by his conversation with Yubelluna. It was as if he was always Issei Phenex his whole life—he even has the memories to prove it!

At least, he was able to wake up with boobs in his face... His perverted grin failed to come to his face, as he began remembering how old life was...

All of a sudden, he remembered something.

Ddraig!

[...] There was nothing, and that worried him. ...But perhaps, Ddraig was sleeping. That simply was the only thing Issei could conclude to with his understanding of the [Boosted Gear]. However, Isse felt the "old" dragon deserved it as Issei wasn't sure what the dragon had done with the other two.

Issei simply sighed as he could only hope that Ddraig would wake up soon—that was, if his assumption was correct.

Perhaps, Ddraig would prefer this timeline as of now, he was stronger, and almost nigh-invincible due to his regeneration. Satans, after Issei thought about it, that was freaking overpowered. He had the power to kill Gods and the potential regeneration to tank anything he wanted.

He frowned.

He stared at his hands—they were shaking. He let them sink to his side, uselessly and uneasily.

If one were to look at him then, his eyes would've been overshadowed by his hair and it looked as if he was a doll without strings.

...Issei didn't like having this amount of power. Sure, it was great and all. It could've came in handy when facing all those OP enemies. He could literally be a meat-shield, and he wouldn't have worry his friends too often. However, he feared the amount of power he potentially could have would drive him mad as many [Boosted Gear] predecessors had. ...He had already fallen for the madness once, and it still made him shiver, even if he did have a replacement, [CxC].

It was the fact that he was weak that he became strong. He wasn't like Vali—he didn't fight to fight, although Vali did have some morals. Yet, no matter what anyone said, he was still weak, though it wasn't necessarily his fault, being a simple human and all. And being weak, he had become strong, to take on things humans would surely fear in nightmares among nightmares.

Thinking about humans, brought on the thoughts of his parents; were they still happy? ...Perhaps, a small visit wouldn't hurt anyone. But, then he would have to confront Rias-buchou—or Gremory-san?— or Sona—or also Sitri/Shitori-san?

—And don't forget the boobs he fought for!

But, life wasn't an anime. Even his quest for a harem hadn't drove him. Yuuma—no, Raynare—was who he had fallen for genuinely, wholeheartedly. She was a girl who asked him out with angelic grace (unlike all those disgusted girls who were dared into dating him, but sadly, he could understand, but it didn't help his low self-esteem), who wasn't hesitant in touching him or playing with him, who actually made him hold back his perverted urges, and who, at least, looked happy around him for the first time. What more could he ask for? ...But, he had been betrayed. Even then in that bath, it saddened him. He couldn't feel anger at her, anymore. Though, he would have to do something about Asia... He sighed, he would cross the bridge when he got to it and push the dead where they belong—away. Yet, he knew, he wouldn't be able to kill that woman. Maybe Yubelluna could...

Soon after, he had grown to love the people around him. And when he finally asked out his master—oh man—he couldn't tell how much happiness and relief he felt. To be honest, he would drop his (perhaps not-so, now being a pure-blood devil, after all) silly quest for a harem if she merely asked.

However, even with Rias with him, he couldn't deny any female, mostly the rest of Rias' peerage, what they wanted, in fear of hurting them. The man of the park had told him the importance of a woman. His father also told him. Even his mother had—and he swore to never hurt one before she gave up on reprimanding him. A bitter smile reached his lips. He kept that to his heart, only breaking it if he had to. Absentmindedly, he thought that even his peeping also caused "harm."

It wasn't that he always thought about boobs, and sure, he was a massive pervert (even in his new memories) but the person who carried those boobs as a whole? They... would hate him, surely. It was saddening. Issei would hate himself too with what he has done.

That was if he didn't know the full story. Certainly, if people knew the whole picture, even Rias, wouldn't hate him as Issei Phenex—even then, perhaps, they would still hate him with his judgment and his inability to say "no," although threatened into doing so.

"Phenex-sama?" The foggy glass door slid open, gently.

Instantly, his hands went to cover between his legs and strained backwards as he returned Yubelluna's call, "U-Uh, y-yes?" His instinctual movement was there. However, it wasn't as if it wasn't the first time she's seen it...

Yubelluna blinked at his actions. Her master... hasn't done that action in so long. It was cutely refreshing to see the action. "I think it would be wise, if you left now, lest the anger of Ravel-sama..." She dragged off at the end, feeling a bit jealous at how her master treated Ravel.

"O-Oh, r-right!" He magically summoned a towel around his waist in haste. —Only to blink at the action, he had never done something like that in his past life. He guessed even then, he would still need to get used to being able to do that; at the more complicated stuff, he could only sigh. At least, he already had those etched into him also...

[:|:]

"So, uh, Yubelluna..." Issei paused, finding himself feeling strange and a bit funny. "What are the plans today?" It wasn't that he didn't know, but based on the memories from before taking his spot, the girls liked to make their own schedule, unless something important came about.

At that, Yubelluna smiled, almost expectantly. Her master was being so cute, even more so when under the influence of his aftershock. And she couldn't wait for her turn today!

"After eating with Ravel-sama, yesterday, you said you wanted to check up on the girl, Mira?" Mira hadn't revived been yet, but he and his peerage had rescued her from a stray and only woke up the day before. "Karlamine had also requested for some practice," Yubelluna smiled slightly, "you know how that child is." Karlamine was a battle freak though not at Vali's tier, who at least at then, could fight Yuuto to a standstill with sword skills alone.

"...You don't hate me either, huh?" He muttered—unknowingly aloud.

Yubelluna flushed with rage, tears to her eyes. "I... I-I could never hate Issei-sama!" How could no one see Issei as he was? The lovable, cute, and kind side of him. Why were all those Elders (his father included) stuck up on seeing him, who wasn't even a heir, be such an ass? There simply was no reason! None! None at all! She didn't fault Issei in not saying no. No, never would she place the blame on him. He was her most... —she couldn't find a word to describe him but he was the best! And she couldn't stand it to see him in such a sad state or when people talked down about him. And as a Servant, she couldn't do anything but hold the burden that she knew alongside his peerage and all his other personal servants. It was so tragic of him to just relent to his "fate" and move forward without will or choices. A mere doll to its strings.

It was when Issei pulled her into a hug, that she realized that she was crying.

Issei didn't like seeing tears on a woman, even more so now that he had to call them "his." However, it's only been but a few times that he had seen someone cry for him. ...It was never a simple thing when they did.

"...Sorry..." He said simply, brushing his fingers into Yubelluna's long and gracious purple hair.

She didn't say anything because if she did Issei would reply with the same thing in such a voice it broke her heart hearing it every time. ...And hugging her master was always such a blessing, especially in bed or wherever he decided to do it.

—Satans, her master was such a... "beast" for making think such thoughts at a time like this.

[:|:]

Ravel hummed a simple tune as she waited for her breakfast cake to finish. She had wanted her secretly beloved older brother to test out her new recipe. And maybe, later play with him as it has been a while since they last played together. She hadn't asked in a while...

—She frowned. It was for his sake though!

Maybe she was as childish as she was told as she still retained her urge to play... But, she didn't have to be doted upon like a mere child! Even by her "Onii-sama!" That wasn't fair of him, to do the Elders' bidding, play with her and say nothing. She could say something! She wasn't a servant!

However, the last time she tried, Issei had stopped her instantly and asked of her to say nothing with a pinky promise—the strongest of promises!

She didn't want to seem wanting or seemed as if she asked for a lot, so she lessened the time and the amount she played with him. Even with that, he smiled and asked her "why?" —Of all thing! She couldn't help it, but she had blow up his face in rage that perhaps was pointed towards herself more towards him. She couldn't understand him at all! He had all those burdens atop him and yet he comes home with a smile and more often than not tries to play with her. It wasn't that she didn't like it, because she defiantly loves it, but she was utterly useless. And she hated every minute of it! Why was she a burden?!

She placed a hand to her heart and calmed herself.

"Onii-chan..." She missed the simple days where she called him that.

"Ravel-sama?" Yubelluna called quietly as she opened the door.

She was standing there like a princess in her pink glory with a small, nonetheless, endearing frown. Hearing her name didn't fluster as she knew her Onii-sama would come into the kitchen as per her promise with him. "Is..." her voice was small and she was hesitant, "Is there time for m-me today? I-If there isn't i-it's fine, I can wait!" Even though she said it, she wasn't sure if she could wait...

Ravel-sama... Ravel was one of the only few purebloods Issei's peerage approved of—though unsure what his bro-con tendencies could lead to—as it didn't seemed she liked her that much. Or did she? Nonetheless, to them, she was like a real princess, and she was, though a bit spoiled at times.

An almost smug smile crept to her face. "Would you like play with 'Onii-chan' today?" It was always so much fun to tease her as she wasn't as bad as many other high-class devils, though she usually released her anger on Issei.

"N-No, I do not." She crossed her arms and "hmmph"-ed before turning her face away.

She opened one eye, the one pointing towards Yubelluna, "Does that mean Onii-sama is busy?"

Yubelluna wanted to feel crossed, as there was some time. But she was going to use to be greedy... However, she relented. "N-No, there's sometime after the meeting with the Gremory clan."

Vorpal: And the secret is revealed! —Issei is no longer a virgin~! *ahem*
...The third try is the charm, right? At least, now everything should look more "sophisticated."
I find it funny that even Ravel has a older sibling with a sister-complex (previous memories), along with two other girls

Does Phenex regeneration also regenerate Life force/Life energy? I couldn't find that... And if so, that ability is too OP with the Boosted Gear
Sorry to all those Rias-haters (in vague terms), but she'll play a big role.
Why does Tsun-pure [is she too pure?] Ravel remind me of Kokoa from R+V?

And why did I add the ordeal with the elders? —Who in the right mind would loyally follow their orders? Cuz I doubt Riser's peerage was forced into being very submissive and to liking his kisses. And Riser doesn't seem too bad of a guy, to be honest. He like a spoiled Issei. The reason why I didn't give the Boosted Gear to Riser was because even then I still don't really like him... And a "butterfly-effect" timeline type of story seemed cool.

The next update will be soon! With a lemon next chapter...
