Crowd started cheering, everyone from Rias' friends, family and rivals came to congratulate her. But suddenly it became deadly silent as they saw the man of honour, Issei Hyodo crashing to ground helplessly.
Ise, Ise, issssei open your eyes. Isseiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
Asia heal Isse, said Rias. But Rias-neesama I've already healed him. Everybody step aside, Sirzecs said. To the maou's order everybody created a way. Rias step aside let Ajuka examine him.
The Beelzebub created a barrier around Issei and started examining him. How is this possible, questioned Beelzebub. Ajuka what happened? Why are you so surprised? What happened to Ise-kun? Sirzecs questioned. Sirzecs don't worry, he is fine just collapsed from exhaustion. I am relieved, said Sirzecs. For a moment there I thou... Get aside, Rias shouted and threw Sirzecs out of the podium. So Beelzebub-sama if Issei is alright then why were you so surprised? See Rias-chan as you know , juggernaut drive is a move which grants the host is ablity to use the true potential of the heavenly dragons sealed within the boosted gear in exchange of the host's lifespan. But in case of Hyodo Issei his lifespan is not reduced not even a little bit, and this fact surprised me. Well we can discuss it afterward, first let us take him to the infirmary.
[In the infirmary]
Ajuka are you serious. Now this has become even a better reason to celebrate, said Sirzecs. Oni-sama where were you all this time? We were all standing there frightened and you were roaming? Do you not care about Ise? Maybe from next time I should ban you from entering the Hyodo residence. Rias, Rias calm down, said Akeno. It was Lucifer-sama that brought Beelzebub-sama here. And when you were pushed away from Ise-kun, you threw him away like a piece of rag on the floor to make room for yourself.
Rias' face got all red as a tomato as she went to Sirzecs to apologize to him. I'm sorry Oni-sama. I didn't notice what you did there for Ise but I was terrified at that moment. Humph, I should not forgive you, Sirzecs said with a pouty face. Now, now Sirzecs you should forgive Rias as it was an honest mistake. Grafia-neesama! Grafia! Yeah daddy, you should forgive Rias-neesama, it was Millicas. Well if you all are insisting I will forgive her but only on one condition. Okay Oni-sama, as long as you are happy I would fullfil your condition. Then let me continue to make your picture diary. If that makes you happy then..Wait Rias, Grafia said with a very gentle smile while a dangerous killing aura was surrounding her. Sirzecs I've warned you before and yet you still want to do that. Today at home you will think about your actions. Sirzecs went blue, he was drenched in sweat. No, not that again, he screamed. Well Grafia-san can I come to see it, asked Ajuka. Okay, but as long as you help me. To Grafia's condition Ajuka agreed with his eyes sparkling. Nobody here is my friend or my family, Sirzecs screamed.
But one thing confuses me, said Kiba. What Kiba-kun, Grafia questioned. Well you see Vali is able to use juggernaut drive but in exchange for his lifespan he uses vast amount of magic to support that form. Issei-kun does not have vast magic reserves nor has excessive life energy such as Siaraog-san then what did he give as compensation for his lifespan. Kiba-kun how do you know that hakkoryuu uses magic reserves as compensation for lifespan, questioned Ajuka. Well it was something Albion told us.
Well about that, maybe I can answer your questions. Azazel! Azazel-sensei! Rias do you remember what I told you when Issei came from dimensional gap with a new body. Yeah, you said maybe his lifespan is zero or infinity. Yeah that. Remember Issei asked for about 15-20 min between the battle so that Draig can do something. Maybe during that time Draig was manipulating Issei's lifespan since he is not matured enough to do this himself and this caused great strain upon his body. And maybe this is the reason for him to collapse afterword and not shortening of his lifespan. As I thought, you are truly a great scientist type warrior, to analyse something this complicated in such a short time. Everybody turned towards Issei but he was still unconscious and the one talking was Draig.
So Draig, when will my perverted idiotic student of mine, wake up? Well azazel, it could be between from one week to one month.
Well then very little time is left for the preparation of Rias and Issei's marriage. But Sirzecs-sama when did Rias-neechan and Issei-san got engaged, Asia questioned. Rias you haven't told them yet, asked Grafia. Well I had told them then, Akeno will try harder on her obsession of affair with Ise and everyone will try much harder to get him, Rias explained. Well to get engaged they went to the sacred ground of the gremory and passed the tests designed infront of the maou's, Valereena explained.
Oka-sama, since when are you here? Rias I heard my son-in-law was in the infirmary so how could I not check, how is he doing? Well dear could you believe Rias would be married in a month. Yeah dear and maybe in a year or two Millicas can have a little brother or sister. Hey mom dad don't go planning my future. Okay okay but who would have thought the boy who would come crashing Rias' wedding would become our future son-in-law.
[After Three weeks]
Aah man my body hurts a lot. Hey partner, how are you doing? Hey Draig what do you mean? Well you have been sleeping for three weeks? Huh that long. Hey Draig, what about my lifespan? How many years have been cut down from my lifespan? None partner, and for that you could thank me. Hey Draig how did you do that? Well partner even if I explain it to you you would not understand a thing. So just be thankful and once you would be at a level to understand I would tell it to you personally. Sounds great, and thank you Draig. See ya.
As soon as I open my eyes, I felt my right arm between Rias' elastic boobs, my left arm was used as an arm pillow by Asia and Ravel. Every girl was on my bed naked. Oh heaven, this is the life I want for the rest of my life, Issei thought to himself. Then suddenly I felt someone was crawling on my chest. Well I perfectly knew who that someone was. Akeno-san good morning. Ara-ra Issei –kun I see you have woken up, so let me give you your kiss. Akeno do you really think you could give issei his first kiss after waking up. Ara Rias I think I can. Akeno you always do this, Ise is mine and the responsibility of giving his first kiss is mine. Ise-san since you have woken up so let me give you your first kiss of the day since both of the great onee-sama are fighting. Oh even Asia has resorted to such means that means even Asia is growing up, Akeno said. Every last one of you, giving Issei his first kiss of the day is my responsibility and none of you will do it. And this is the order of your king. Oh Rias don't be such a baby, Akeno said with a sadist smile. Will my voice would be heard, Issei sheepishly raised his voice but his opinions were discarded. After the fight in the bed, Rias gave Issei his kiss followed by Akeno, Asia, Ravel, Xenovia and Koneko.
Now everyone was sitting in the living room after a wonderbreakfast created by Rias and Issei's mom. Suddenly a teleportation symbol appeared on the floor. A man with crimson hair appeared with his beautiful wife/maid. Oh so I see everyone from Rias' peerage have already gathered. So after your impressive performance in the rating game everybody who were middle class devils have been promoted to high class devils. So Asia-chan, Koneko-chan, Gasper-kun and Rossewiesse san congratulations and here are your certificates and your evil pieces. And lastly Issei-kun for your splendid performance in the rating game, you have been promoted to ultimate class devil and been given the title of the ultimate pawn. Everyone was overjoyed. Now everyone in the peerage have become a high class devil. So, Issei-kun now that you've fulfilled Rias' dream will separate from her to create your harem. Everyone was a little depressed but still happy because they knew this day would come sooner or later. Yes Sirzecs- sama from today I will not be a part of Rias' peerage but I would not create a harem because I already have one. Everyone's face brightened. So Issei who all will you make part of your peerage? Well I would not take Xenovia and Asia from Rias' peerage because I want my peerage to be built from beginning without disturbing Rias. But I know who my bishop will be. So Sirzecs can I get my Evil Pieces now. Sure as you wish Issei-kun. Sirzecs gave a small velvet pouch to Issei containing his evil pieces. So now that I've got my evil pieces, Ravel will you become my bishop. Yes Ise-sama but you would first have to talk to my mom since currently I'm her bishop. Understood Ravel. So Issei-kun I should return now but remember your marriage with Rias is at the end of this month i.e, next week this day. After saying this, Sirzecs teleported with his maid.
Rias is this true, Issei questioned. Ise I wanted to tell you but after you woke up there was no time to tell you but Ise don't be mad, Rias answered. Heh, why should I be mad, I'm marrying the woman I love, got promoted to an ultimate class devil, received the title of ultimate pawn and got my first member of my peerage. This is the best day ever.
[Later that day in phoenix mansion]
So you want my daughter to be your bishop, just because you are the sekiryuutei, fiancé of Rias-chan, and just got promoted to ultimate class devil recently. What do you think you would just barge in here and ask me to trade my bishop for nothing? At this moment, Issei was confused and a little afraid to ask, what has he done to get scolded so badly while Rias and Sona with their respective peerage were chuckling? If so, then you've made the right decision, Ravel's mother said.
Eh what's going on here, Issei thought to himself? Huh, huh somehow ravel's mother controlled her laugh she said -"Got you there kid. You should have looked yourself in the mirror". Excuse me, but I don't understand what's going on, Issei questioned. Well you really are dense as everyone says even so what I mean is that from now on Ravel is your bishop. Really, really thank you miss phoenix. What an honest kid you are but Issei-san if I had asked for compensation what would you have given me? Now everyone's eyes were on Issei. Well I was thinking about giving you the "skithblathnir" given to me by sutr the second. Upon hearing his answer everybody got silent.
Really kid you're one of a kind, said lord phoenix. Hello everyone, and Ravel congratulations for getting into a peerage with such a kind king. Hey Hyodo Issei –kun do you know the worth of "skithblathnir". No, but isn't it just an object that could be controlled by mind. To explain it's value– if I wanted to buy from you, even this castle would be just quarter of the payment and that to after a lot of negotiations said lord phoenix. This is why everyone here were dumbstruck. Really I didn't knew how much it worth. Dear if you have just teased him a little more, the skithblathnir just might have become yours but what's done is done. But Rias-chan I heard you got a new very interesting pawn. Yes lord phoenix, her name is Valerie Tepes. My bishop Gasper asked me to include her in my peerage because she is his girlfriend, and I happily accepted. Rias-chan you should think more before adding someone to your peerage and not just someone in your peerage has a liking towards her. But lord phoenix I had put a lot of thought in it, you may not know but she is the possessor of the longinus-"Holy Grail" and after getting restored with all the pieces of holy grail she now doesn't have a weak composition and maybe become the strongest member of my peerage and much to my surprise I had to use all my pawn pieces to reincarnate her as a devil much like for you Rias-chan, but now you should all go and start getting prepared for the wedding.
[The Day Of Wedding, In the underworld]
Ravel I miss my parents. Issei-sama we all know that but their last wish was that you will come meet them in heaven with your own family and kids. Yeah I know Ravel. So get ready for the wedding or else the guests would be dishonored.
It was a Christian style wedding, due to the church trio's insistence. Rias was looking beautiful with a splendid yet simple white dress and a little makeup waiting in her room with her peerage's female.
[At the time of wedding]
Sirzecs was crying his hearts out while sitting on the first bench for the guests as he was too happy at his sister's wedding while Grafia sitting beside him. Everyone came from the Gremory, Sitri, Bael, Agares, Blieal and Phoenix family and even that yakitori bastard with his beautiful wife. Many leaders from different factions also came to attend the wedding ceremony. And after the ceremony, it was decided that Eldrax Crom would take us away from the wedding and if you are wondering who is Eldrax Crom, he is the Spectre dragon whose egg Ophius protected. Named Eldrax as per Ophius choice and Crom as per Issei's choice because he wanted to honor Crom Cruach for saving the egg when Niddhogg attacked even he didn't do anything.
Issei was standing on the stage with Gasper, Millicas and Kiba as his bestmen in a three piece suit while at the other side of the stage consists of Sona, Akeno, Asia, Koneko, Xenovia, Rossewiesse, Ravel, Irina and Valarie. It would be appropriate to say Rias' army of bridesmaid. Suddenly music stated playing, Lord Gremory came with Rias holding his arms, walking down the aisle. He left Rias at the end of the aisle and went to his seat.
Rias stepped onto the stage and stood before Issei. Rias you look beautiful, Issei commented. You look handsome too, Rias replied.
We have all gathered here on this auspicious day to celebrate the wedding of Switch Princess and Oppai dragon said the minister. To this Rias said furiously, Aaaazaaaazelllll. Well we don't know why we let him be the minister at our wedding but what's done is done. Ah sorry Rias but I thought this way it would be more fun but as you wish. We have all gathered here on this auspicious day to celebrate the wedding of of Hyodo Issei and Rias Gremory. As he was about to continue seven old devils came to crash the party.
This wedding cannot happen, said an old man. Hey old man & co! I don't know who you are but leave before I kill you all, Issei warned them with a killing intent. Say what you may sekiryuutei but if you kill us, the Gremory's would be stripped away from the 72 pillars. All their property would be ceased and Sirzecs title of Lucifer would be snatched away. To this Sirzecs enquired, why is the council going to this level to stop the wedding. To his question one of the seven answered, to save our race from humiliation. And why does the council thinks Issei brought humiliation for the devils, Grafia questioned. Well because the Sekiryuutei let Apophis and Azi Dhakha escape while he had the chance to kill them. To his answer everybody went silent. But since he has done so much for the underworld, the council has given him a chance, well better call it a challenge if you will. So what's the challenge, Issei questioned. After 25 years show up here on this same day, same place with your peerage and fight for the hand of Rias Gremory for marriage in an open battle royal. Issei-kun don't do it, we will all figure a way through, said Sirzecs. Don't, nobody will get in the challenge. They ruined the most important day of my and Rias' life and I would make them pay dearly. Once I come here with my peerage on this day after 25 years, those councilmen would not be able find a spot to hide and you seven you will all individually tell me the names of geezers who had done this, so that I may give them their death in the most painful way possible, roared Issei. Okay Sekiryuutei but there is one condition we forgot to tell you, during these 25 years you are not allowed to meet anybody in the underworld not even Rias Gremory and if you will you know the consequences for the Gremory's , said a man out of the seven. Okay then, since I'm about to leave maybe this will be the only time to ask you come join in my peerage. I wanted to ask you formally but since there is no time so, Rafael Blieal what have you thought about my offer? Will you join my peerage as my pawn? Issei yelled.
Well I was about to say no to you, but maybe killing the councilmen with you might be more fun, said a boy roughly the age of Ravel with a good build a little taller than Ise with short blue hair all spiked up and hetrochromatic eyes. On the left green and on the right yellow. So I Hyodo Issei take you, Rafael Blieal as my pawn. A red pawn piece came out of a magic circle and got placed in Rafael.
Issei went to Rias and kissed her and said, now I must take my leave. Everybody wait for me for the time being. Ravel, Rafael let's go. A dragon's teleportation got formed under their feet and soon they vanished.
Rias are you okay asked her mother. Mom even though it all happened before me I was not able to do a thing, Rias said while sobbing. Rias don't worry about him he will return for you and also forgive us. He didn't want to leave us but he did so that we could live in luxury, said Grafia.
Those councilmen have made the wrong person in this whole world their enemy and now they will receive the absolute wrath of the creature named Hyodo Issei. And he will fulfill his promise even if he had to destroy the underworld and none of us would be able to stop him, said Azazel. To this leader of each faction could only nod their head in agreeing as they knew those councilmen didn't only stepped into the forbidden sanctuary but thrashed it on its most special day.
