Before I do...

chiufan95: Her Sacred Gear is different, yes, but Ddraig-sama is still in it, hence her left hand having the glove her original counterpart has. And yes, she still has boosted gear. Like I said, her left hand mirrors her male counterpart's. She does have the ability to change types of bows at will, but anyway, that's what I can answer.

Bless You: Maybe I might make a filler arc of that...thanks for the idea! :D

Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!


A guy in tighty-whities?! Issei thought pervertedly. That's a rare sight-a SUPER rare sight! And he's quite cute and handsome too...wait! Not important right now! She and the young priest were staring at each other, blushing.

"A-ah..." the priest muttered, rubbing the back of his head and avoiding eye contact with the female pervert. "S-sorry about that!" He closed his eyes and smiled nervously, bowing down quickly at her. "I tend to forget to wear pants under this every now and then." His eyes shot open. "W-wait! You didn't see my...uh..."

Issei shook her head immediately. "Oh no, of course not! I don't know what you're talking about exactly," she lied.

He smiled, lost his blush, and sighed in relief. "That's good. I just tripped, that's all," he replied. She nervously smiled back a little.

Oh my god, he's my type! she thought happily. He's blonde and cute and handsome! I gotta keep the conversation going...um...ah-ha! She cleared her throat and said to him, "Isn't the weather nice today?" She immediately regretted saying those words. What a lame attempt...

"It is, actually," the young priest replied, much to Issei's surprise. "I got distracted though, so I became...well, lost." He smiled nervously at her again. "So I need your help, if you don't mind." His smile went from nervous to happy. The brown-haired female would be more than glad to help him.


Episode 3: I Got A Friend!-Part 1

Both the priest and Issei began walking with each other. "So, are you on a trip?" the female pervert asked him.

"Oh, no," he replied. "I was appointed to this town's church."

"So you're a priest? That explains your clothes...don't priests wear their clothes under their vestments though?"

The priest laughed nervously and sweat-dropped. "Yeah...I was in such a hurry, I forgot to wear pants." He blushed. "I hoped no one saw my...underwear..."

I did! And it was a great si-grrr! Stop, Issei! "I'm sure no one else was there."

He sighed in relief once again. "Great." He looked at her and smiled again, making her blush. "You know, it's nice meeting a lady like you. It must be divine guidance."

She giggled. She felt great that a cute, handsome guy like the priest she was with liked her. "Well..." she said before seeing his cross necklace. When she did, a slightly pained feeling went all around her body, making her flinch. The priest looked concerned. "Is something wrong?" he asked her.

She shook her head once again. "N-no, it's nothing!" she lied again. What was that feeling though? she asked internally. Suddenly, both of them stopped walking when they heard a female child cry. They look to see the child with an exposed scrapped knee. The priest ran to her, leaving Issei behind, knelt before the child, and patted her head, smiling once again.

"Hey, hey, it's alright," he said soothingly to the child, making her look up at him and stop crying. "Don't cry: it's just a little scrape. You are a little girl after all." He then hovered his hands over her wound, green energy emitting from it. Both the girl and Issei looked in awe as the scrape began to heal up.

"Her wound..." the brown-haired female said before feeling pain on her left hand, causing her to flinch again and massage it. I just felt some sharp pain in my hand. Why?

When the green energy disappeared and the knee healed up, the young priest looked at the little girl and said happily, "There you go! All new and healed up!"

The child was happy and hugged him. "Thank you, sir!" She then ran off. The priest looked up at Issei's awed look and stood up.

"Sorry, force of habit," he said as he winked at her.


As they both continued walking, Issei stared at the priest's hands, which were holding a suitcase. I definitely felt it in my left hand...does that mean-

"I must have surprised you, miss," the young priest stated.

The female pervert escaped her thoughts, acted surprised, and replied, "Oh definitely! You have a pretty amazing power!"

He looked at her happily. "Thanks! It's a power granted by God." He then looked away from her and muttered in a solemn tone, "Yes...an amazing power." Issei was curious to why he said it like that. He looked up and stopped, making her stop as well. "Oh, look! That must be the place!" The female pervert looked up and saw the town's church from far.

"Yep, that's the only church we have in town," Issei described before realizing something, a chill in the air crawling underneath her skin. "But...I don't see anybody coming over there."

"Oh...well, I'd like to return the favor you've granted me, so can you accompany me there?" the priest asked.

"N-no!" she blurted, her hands shaking. "I, uh, have something to do!"

He looked down on the road and frowned. "I see." He looked back at Issei however. "Well, if you want to know, my name is Asher Argento, Ash for short, but I don't mind if you call me Asher." He smiled once more at her.

The female devil smiled back. "I'm Hyoudou Issei, Issei for short," she said.

"Well then, Issei-san, I'm happy to meet someone as kind as you arriving in Japan!"

She blushed, smiled nervously, and looked away from him. "Ah, well...thank you!" She giggled nervously. To have someone so cute and handsome actually LIKE her...

"Please visit me at the church when you have the time, promise?" He extended his hand out to her, which she gladly shook.

"I will, don't worry," she answered.

"Thanks, Issei-san!" Issei blushed once again and let go of his hand, turning around.

"Well, I'll see you around!"

"See you later!" She turned back to Asher to see him smiling and waving goodbye to her. She couldn't help but smile and feel her heart beating.

He's a really nice guy, she thought. He's especially rare since he's a foreigner...I like it.


Later, Issei met Richard in a room with colorful windows. "Don't go anywhere near the church again," Richard scolded the brown-haired girl, walking to the wooden railing of the stairs. "Churches are hostile territory for us devils. You'll incite battles between God and devils just by stepping in them. And you don't know when THOSE guys will throw a light-spear at you."

Issei felt scared. "S-seriously?" she asked. "Then the chill I got from the church is..."

The red-haired devil turned around and leaned his body on the railing. "Your demonic instincts possibly detected danger," he explained. "Staying around someone from the church is inviting death, Isa-especially since the exorcists of the Church wield Sacred Gears."

Her eyes widened. Sacred Gears... she thought. Then, the image of Asher healing the little girl's wound crossed her mind. Does that mean Asher has a...

"Isa," Richard called, making her break out of her thoughts and look at him. "To exorcise a demon means erasing their existence. You'll be turned into nothing-" He paused to get off of the railing and look at her. "You'll feel nothing, you'll see nothing, you'll do nothing. Do you know what that's like?"

Sounds scary...to be absolutely nothing... she thought in fear. The female devil shook her head. "No, not at all, sir," she replied.

Richard sighed and turned away from her. "I'm sorry if I sound upset, Isa. Just be careful from now on, alright?" He then began to walk away from her. She sighed as well.

"I will..." she muttered sadly, her hands behind her back.


In the clubroom, Issei laid on a couch, sighing. "All that I've accomplished is being yelled at by President..." she whispered. Seeing Asher's smiling face in her mind, she added, "I'm sorry, Asher. I can't fulfil our promise..."

All of a sudden, Akihiko's head popped up from behind the coach and informed, "The president is looking for you, Issei-chan~." She yelped a little and sat up, Akihiko showing his whole clothed body.

"A-Akihiko-senpai!" she exclaimed. The dark-haired male could only chuckle before Richard entered into the room.

"Akihiko, I thought you already went back," he stated.

"The archduchess just sent us a message," Akihiko informed.

He shot back. "The archduchess?"

Akihiko's face turned to solemn. "Apparently, a stray demon is running loose in this town." Richard's face turned to solemn as well. Issei was confused at the situation. What did he mean by a "stray demon"?


Much later at night, the Gremory peerage was heading to the spot the stray was at by magic circle telportation. "It used to be a servant for a demon," Yumi informed.

"Like us?" asked Issei.

The blonde-haired female nodded. "Sometimes, demons betray or even kill their masters so they can live however they please." The peerage then appeared in the woods near the place where the demon lived.

"Really?"

"Yes. They are what we call a stray devil."

"We're headed to a deserted home," informed Richard. "A stray devil is said to lure people in to kill them."

Shivers went down the brown-haired girl's spine. "E-eat them?!"

"Our mission is to take it down." The team then walked to the home, Yumi opening it for everyone.

"You will see the utter monstrosity of abusing demonic power and not having a master," she added. When everyone was inside, she also went inside and closed the door. Everyone looked around. Issei was worrying what the stray devil might look like. It might look hideous...

"Isa," Richard said.

She looked at Richard. "Yes, President?" she asked.

"Do you know chess?"

She looked puzzled. "Chess? Like the board game."

He nodded. "Yes. I, the master, am the king, then there's a queen, the knights, the rooks, the bishops, and the pawns. Demons from the aristocracy assign these traits of these pieces to their subordinates."

"The traits of the pieces?"

"We call them 'Evil Pieces'."

Issei crossed her arms. "So why do you need to them?"

"Tonight, you will observe how demons fight."

"Oh, uh, okay."

"He's here," announced Kabu. Everyone turned to his direction, waiting for the stray devil to appear.

"I smell something bad..." bellowed a distorted male voice. "At the same time, I smell something delicious~...might it be sweet?" Well-toned abs and a bulge appeared before the stray revealed himself entirely. "Or might it be bitter?"

The female pervert had her perverted face on, yelling, "Aaaaaaabs~! Buullllge~!" A shame that his bulge was covered by hair. The hair also made his boots as well. His hair was dark and short and his eyes were grey.

Everyone tried their best to ignore Issei's reaction. "Stray devil type: Visor," stated the red-haired devil. "Nefarious beings that run away from their masters to fulfill their own desires. They deserve more than death for their sins." He looked at the stray angrily. "In the name of Duchess Gremory, you will have your punishment!" He posed confidently.

"You insolent man," the Visor stated. "I will cover you in blood as red as your hair!" He then ran his hands over his chest and bulge, practically playing with them both and laughing.

"Your line was as witty as I expect from a small fry like yourself," Richard stated in disappointment.

"So, this is a stray demon?" Issei asked before putting on her perverted face again. "I thought he might be an exhibitionist!" However...the rest of his actual body appeared, a hideous chest with hideous hands and fingers appearing. The Visor also had a blue jewel on his chest and a snake on its back. Issei shot back in shock and horror. "Wh-what the hell?!"

"I told you," Yumi said, smiling and giggling a little at Issei's reaction. "They truly become terrible in their bodies and in their hearts."

"B-but he has nice abs and a nice bulge too! What a wast-" However, the brown-haired female stopped as she noticed the Visor hover his hand above his nipples and the other above his bulge, a magic circle appearing on each. "Wait! Are those MAGIC CIRCLES?!" His nipples then became hardened and pointy while his covered penis was extending while she said that. He laughed crazily as he shot glowing beams through his nipples and penis.

The peerage ran out of the way, Richard grabbing Issei and crouching down with her out of the way as the beams hit the wall behind them, melting it. "Whoa! He really is a monster!" Issei stated in fear.

Richard let go of her. "Don't let your guard down, Isa," he warned her. He then turned to Yumi. "Yumi!" The blonde-haired devil nodded as she got out a large sword and disappeared.

"What the-she disappeared!" the female pervert blurted out.

The red-haired male stood up, his bulge appearing from Issei's view. "She's so fast that you can't even see her," he explained. "Yumi represents a knight. Her trait is speed-" Yumi was then in front of the monstrous stray. "-and the sword is the strongest weapon." She then chopped off both the stray's arms off in a flash, causing him to scream. Kabu then appeared in front of him, his fists clenched.

"K-Kabu-kun! It's dangerous!" Issei called out. The stray's face then turned hideous, his eyes turning dark red, his teeth growing sharper and longer, and his tongue representing a reptilian's. His larger chest opened up to bare its sharp teeth as well. He screamed and lunged for the white-haired shouta. "DIE!" he shouted as the chest made him disappear. The brown-haired girl gasped, but Richard smirked.

"Don't worry, Isa," he said confidently, making Issei look at him with a puzzled look. She then saw Kabu himself open the monster's chest, half his underwear showing due to a missing chunk of his pants and his shirt ripped up, showing both his nipples. Issei gasped again. "Kabu is a rook. His traits are simple: tremendous strength and defensive ability. That kind of attack wouldn't leave a scratch on him."

"Begone, foul stray," he said in a cold voice before he smashed some of the stray's chest teeth with one punch, knocking him back to a wall.

I guess I should not anger Kabu-kun, then... Issei thought in awe.

"Akihiko!" Richard commanded the raven-haired male.

"Right away, President," he said as he closed his eyes, smiled, and began walking towards the wall, ready to make a magic circle. "Eeto, eeto~, what should I do?" He chuckled.

However, the stray's larger arm lunged for Richard. Issei shouted, "President!" He looked at her with a confused look, the hand reaching towards him. Wanting to protect him, she shouted, "Sacred Gear!" The red hard glove appeared on her left hand as well as her bow and arrow. She ran towards the hand, let out a battle cry, and shot an arrow to the hand. It dug into its skin and blew up, knocking Richard back and making him fall on his bottom, his bulge bouncing a little. His clothes were stained with blood. The Visor screamed once again. He looked up at Issei and blushed.

"Th-thank you," he said, shocked about what she did.

"Oh!" the female pervert interjected, blushing as well and placing a hand behind her head. "It's no problem. I instinctively..." He then stood up and walked beside her, making her stop her sentence.

Richard looked at Akihiko. "Akihiko, finish him off," he commanded.

"A bad boy who tries to harm our President..." he said before turning to the stray with a soft, yet sadistic face, smiling. "...will be punished!" Electricity was then sparking from his hands.

"Akihiko's the queen," Richard stated. Issei wondered why he was called a queen even though he's not female. "You might be thinking that queens can only be females, but in reality, a queen is the almighty vice commander combining their powers from the other pieces."

"O-oh." Now she doesn't feel weird about Akihiko having the title anymore.

The Visor was twitching on the ground, looking up at the dark-haired male. He closed his eyes and kept his soft but sadistic smile. "Eeto, eeto~, you still have some energy left~?" He raised both his hands up, creating lightning from the both of them. "How about this for punishment?!"

"He specializes in attacks using demonic powers," Richard continued. Akihiko then shocked the stray with the lightning, the monster screeching in pain. "On top of that, he's..."

He opened his now Yandere-like magenta-colored eyes and still kept his soft, sadistic smile. He rested his cheek on his hand. "Eeto, eeto~, you're still energetic~." He then licked his lips, chuckling once again.

"...a complete sadist," the red-haired male finished.

"Let's see how long you can bear it!" shouted the raven-haired guy as he shocked the beast with another strong ray of lightning. He began laughing in a sadistic manner.

"He's...laughing..." Issei said, both awed and feared at the sight. He seemed to be a nice guy, but when it came to battle, he had a completely different personality change...

"Akihiko, that's enough," Richard said. The lightning stopped, leaving the stray fried, but living.

"Done already?" he asked as he turned with a soft smile and his eyes closed. "What a disappointment~!" He chuckled again, now making Issei scared.

Richard began to walk toward the beast. When he stopped in front of him, he asked, "Any last words?"

"K-kill me..." the Visor demanded in weakened voice.

The red-haired devil smirked. "Oh really? No name-calling? No useless death threats? I'm shocked. But now, you must vanish." He then spread his arms out, forming a magic circle. He then said, "Checkmate." Dark red energy came out of the circle and struck the stray. It screeched its last screech as it disappeared into thin air. Issei was in awe of what happened. It almost felt like an episode of "Seduction Boys" in real life.

"We're done here," Richard announced before turning around with a smile on his face. "Let's go."

"Yes, President," said almost the entire peerage.

"U-um, President," the female pervert spoke up.

"Yes?"

"What am I considered then?" Issei then pointed at herself. "What piece am I?"

Richard and the peerage began to walk away. "You're a pawn," he answered.

"Wait, a 'pawn'? You mean that..."

He turned to her with a reassuring smile. "That's right. You're a foot soldier."

"A-a foot soldier?" She imagined herself with the other pawn pieces. The lowest rank of chess? she thought. No way! WHY?!


Eye Catch #5: Kabu is laying on the checkered floor with his knees and legs covering his chest, carrying a chess piece with his fingers. He looks neutral and he's wearing the entire Kuoh Academy males' uniform with shoes. His small underbulge is shown and his head is resting on his left arm.


Done! What do you think?
