Author's Note: Sorry for updating sooner. I usually like to release Chapter 2 quickly since Chapter 1 doesn't give enough information about the story. However, I had some business to take care of.

This fanfic is difficult to write since I don't have a fixed timeline compared to some of the other fanfics I write. Therefore I won't be able to predict how many chapters it will take to reach each major milestone in this fanfic.

This chapter is still in the beginning arc so the description I wrote for this fanfic is not quite accurate yet.

Chapter 2:

The Assignment

"Alright, everyone, please come with me."

The entire Occult Research Club follows Rias to The Gremory Gala. As two people open the door, the smell of new carpet and new upholstery reaches everyone's nose. Everyone quietly walks in and ends up at the entrance foyer. The foyer is decorated with benches and tables. There is also a large waterfall fountain in the middle. To the left of the foyer is the check-in and out desks. To the right of the foyer is the service counter. Right up ahead is a long hall with directional signs guiding guests to different venues in The Gremory Gala. As Rias walks down the long hall up ahead, Issei is shocked by the amount of money Rias and her family put into building this resort. Following Rias's heritage, most of the resort is decorated in different shades of crimson.

"Wow, Rias and her family really understands the essence of high class."

The Occult Research Club enters one of the conference rooms in the resort. The conference room is decorated with red drapery and multiple chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. There are also paintings depicting great achievements from the Gremory family including the Great War. Rias has everyone sit in one of the conference chairs while she stands in front of the podium to give her announcement.

"Welcome to the Gremory Gala. As you see here, this resort is one of our crowning achievements along with the hotel in Kyoto and Kuou Academy. However, this resort is built in the middle of nowhere so most people do not know about this place. Therefore, Sirzechs and I will be working here and help promote this new resort for the next month. While Sirzechs and his group will be doing most of the traveling, handing out flyers and making advertisements around the world about our resort, we will be staying here as a group and promote the venues, entertainment, and activities offered here at this resort. We will also ensure that this resort is functioning smoothly during the grand opening period."

Rias then unseals a box in front of her continues her announcement.

"I have already decided on jobs for each of you. You can easily tell what job you will be doing by looking at your uniform. Here you go."

Everyone grabs their uniform and puts it on. After everyone is dressed, they regroup at the entrance foyer and look at everyone else's clothes. First is Rias. She is wearing a business suit complete with glasses.

"I will be taking care of the administrative affairs and make sure the resort is running flawlessly."

"That's our president," Issei replies.

"Hey, Issei-kun, how about our uniforms?"

The moment he hears those words, Issei turns around and freezes. Akeno and Kiba are wearing flashy outfits. Koneko is also wearing a costume of some sort. They will be working at the photo stop booth and get pictures taken with fans.

"Uhuhu… Don't forget to stop by the photo booth when you are finished with you work, Issei-kun."

"Good luck, Issei-kun. Let's get a photo of us before we return home."

"I want a photo of Issei-senpai too."

"Umm… yes…" Issei is unable to properly respond.

"Hey Issei-san, how do I look?" Asia is next. Gasper and she are wearing hotel uniforms. They will work as attendants doing room service for the guests.

"Uh… You look great Asia. You too Gasper."

"Thank you, senpai!"

Next to Asia and Gapser are Xenovia and Irina. They are wearing uniforms similar to Asia and Gasper, but with a bit more style. They will be serving as waitresses for the casino room. Xenovia is not comfortable with the look of the uniform and Irina feels that the uniform is a little too tight.

"Rias-san, can I get a larger uniform? This won't fit me."

"Looks like you have been eating too much," Xenovia chuckles.

"No, I have lost weight since I became an angel servant of Michael. I guess it's my wings that are causing this uniform to feel tight."

Next is Ravel. She is dressed up in a uniform similar to Rias. She will also be working in the administrative deparment and help out Rias with her duties. As for Rossweisse, she will not be working at the Gremory Gala and instead will be working at the city hall. That leaves only one person… Issei.

"So, everyone, what is my job then?" Issei asks everyone.

Asia and Rias present a large mirror for Issei. Issei is shocked the moment he sees himself. He is wearing white overalls. His uniform does not even look professional. There are no signs of a collar, bowtie, and any kind of decoration to his uniform. The cloth also feels thick and rugged compared to the uniforms worn by the other members in the Occult Research Club.

"Well, since you are the strongest member of Rias's group, she thought you would do best a handyman. You will handle all of the technical requests and make repairs to the resort is necessary. You will also clean up all of the common areas such as the conference room and the dining halls. You will also be outside washing the façade of the buildings and trimming the vegetation around this resort." As Kiba and Akeno read out Issei's job, Issei faints to the ground.

"This hurts; I wish I got to be a waiter or an attendant. Why does it have to be me?"

"Good luck, Issei, we're relying on you to keep this resort in pristine condition," Rias ignores Issei's concerns and walks off. With Rias gone, it is time to work.

First is the photo booth. Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko are handling their jobs well. The only concern is the extremely long lines in front of the booth. There are many men waiting for Akeno and many women waiting for Kiba. There are also extreme otakus waiting for Koneko.

For Asia and Gasper, they are walking around serving everyone tea. Since it is the first day, most people are booking into their rooms so there isn't a lot of room service to do. Asia occasionally has trouble rolling people's luggage into their rooms, but many people are kind to offer her some help. Gasper also gets some help since he often gets mistaken as a girl.

Next are Xenovia and Irina. Since they look attractive out of all of the other waitresses in the casino room, they often get called for service. Xenovia, who ridiculed Irina for being unable to fit into her uniform, now feels the same pain when she walks. Xenovia also trips over due to the high heels she has to wear. At the end of the day, Xenovia and Irina each make a total of 2000 trips to and from the refreshments counter.

As for Rias and Ravel, both of them are trying to fill out all of the required paperwork needed for this resort. Most of the paperwork is maintenance logs to be used by the workers. Rias is trying to estimate the number of equipment that requires maintenance logs. She is also talking with other officials about rules and laws she should be aware of. Ravel is busy dealing with job applications. Although most of the applications are pre-processed by other administrative staff, she makes the final decision on who to hire.

Finally, Issei is assigned to work under a militant head handyman.

"Listen all of you. It is our goal to make our president Rias Gremory proud. Since the hotel and resort ratings are directly dependent on our job performances, anything less than perfech will ruin the reputation of this new facility. Therefore, no one working under me will be dismissed until the result is up to my standards. Does everyone understand the message?"

"YES SIR…"

The head handyman walks over to Issei and gives him a slap. "Hyoudou, you may be smiling now and think it's funny, but I will definitely remove that smile of your by the end of the day. NOW PAY ATTENTION."

"Yes, I will…" Issei replies.

The head handyman assigns everyone to wash windows. Since the resort is large, everyone has to wash almost 500 square meters of windows. Since the head handyman knows about Issei's dragon power, he gets twice the amount of windows to wash. After a couple of hours the head handyman goes over and checks everyone's work.

"Nice job… You're dismissed."

"Excellent, go take a rest."

"All done… Come back tomorrow."

These are the remarks the head handyman gives to other people. As for Issei…

"This is unacceptable. There's a little streak over here. It looks as if a child just wiped his greasy fingers on the window. This is what you called clean. Denied! Go back and fix it up. I will not let you sleep until it is squeaky clean."

"Yes…" Issei goes back to work. By the time he is finished, it is now time to sleep. Issei wants to sleep with Rias and the others, but…

"You are forbidden from doing that at all. Rias Gremory is a high-class devil working at a top administration job. You're just a lowly handyman working at the bottom of the barrel. It is unethical and inhumane to be together. I don't care if you are her servant or not, but since you are working here, you are my servant and will be following MY rules. Therefore, you will be like everyone else and sleep here in the boiler room. Now, get your straw mat and head over there."

Issei finds his bed is hard and uncomfortable. There isn't much ventilation and he has to share the room with 8 other handymen. The other members of the Occult Research Club, with better jobs, get to sleep in one of the hotel rooms. Because of this, Issei cannot sleep for the whole night. He keeps thinking about the days at home when he always got to sleep with Rias and Asia. Here, Issei sleeps with an old man who snores right at Issei loudly, drooling and sleep talking about politics.

"Oh, well. It's only going to be one month. I will just have to bear with it."
