Chapter 10 The aftermath of the battle
Right now, Issei is in the museum park with the girls who were looking around excited. Well… Karin that is. Issei then said "Karin… please stay close okay?"
"Okay~! Issei-kun…" Said Karin
The reason why… after he returned with Asia from his fight, Luluna had finished the potion for him to advance… so she wants to go on a date with him. And well… the girls heard about that and asked to come with as well. Luluna won't mind at all since she's not understand fully about dates… yet.
Karin keeps on asking to ride the roller coaster again despite the fact that the other still recover from the trip.
They then go to the mirror house as they had fun time to find the exit. After that Karin march right to the snack bar and buy… almost everything. His wallet was showed no mercy today~!
After that, they then reach at the table and eating. Luce then said "Got to say… this is quite fun Issei."
"Glad you like it Luce. What about you girls?" Asked Issei
"Ano… It's fun… Especially the Ferris Wheel." Said Julia happily
"The view was beautiful up there." Said Yorihime put her hand on her mouth
"The amusement park is large… but it's fun… with the mirror house." Said Luluna
"This is the first time I had so much fun… Issei-san." Said Asia
Issei looks at Karin… and well… she's still burying her face on the snack. Issei could only chuckle at that as he then looks at the map of the amusement park. Issei looks at one of the articles and said "Hey girls… Today actually has a circus. How about after this… we go and see."
"Wai ~circus!" Said Karin happily
"Waaaaa… A circus." Said Asia
"I suppose it won't hurt." Said Luce
"I would love to see it." Said Julia clapping her hand happily
"It's mysterious…" Said Luluna
Yorihime just smiled as she nodded her head.
After that, they then go to the circus and let just say… Karin nearly come down to the stage herself at that. But later she was asking to be a volunteer in an event with the animals. The crews look quite surprise when the animals go near not even hesitation. The animals surround her as they snuggle close on to her including the lion as well.
The scene was quite beautiful as many onlookers took picture with their phone and the owner said "Got to say miss… this is the first time I've ever seen them quite close to human!"
"Hehe… thank you!" Said Karin
After that, the owner kept on asking her if she likes to be in the crew but she refused as she wants to stay with Issei. The owner could only give her a keychain souvenir as he told her to come to their next show next time too.
By the time they came back, it's all ready dark as the girls walk back. Issei then heard some kind of noise at the nearby forest. Issei then extended his senses at that and said "Huh… this is… the Occult Research Club aura? What are they doing here at this kind of time?"
"I could sense some magic involves as well." Said Luce
"Well… can't hurt to take a look." Said Issei as he and the girls go inside.
And they met upon a sight. The ORC besides Kiba are being restrained and having their breast… err 'sucked'. As much as Issei wants to enjoy the sight, he asked "Um… what are you guy doing?"
"Ah… Issei-kun." Said Rias
"Issei-kun… perfect timing… you see…" Explained Kiba about the situation
"Huh… sucking breast to make fruit out of breast. Who the heck makes this Chimera?" Asked Issei
"It was the stray devil we caught the nights ago. It seems the Chimera stills continues on growing after he was arrested." Said Kiba
The Chimera then suddenly send it tentacles to the girls. Issei saw that as the tentacles suddenly catch on fire. The Chimera pulls back screaming in pain. Issei then said "You want to target them…?"
Issei hands then starts to produce smokes and Issei said "Quite a mistake there!"
Issei charges in and slam his hand on the Chimera. The Chimera scream out as it then releases the ORC girls. He then charges up the smoke on his hand and fire straight at the Chimera killing it.
Issei turns his back at the burning Chimera as he said "There… problem solved."
"Thank you Issei-kun." Said Rias
"It was nothing much… but shouldn't you fix…" Said Issei pointing at their attire
Rias and the girls started to realized it as Koneko then throw a tree embarrass. Issei dodge at that and said "What… I can't help it you know…"
"Issei… if you want to look then just ask…" Said Karin
"Haiz… Issei-san… I would more than welcome to show you if you like… there's no need to sneak a peek like this." Said Yorihime
"Issei-san… you can't!" Said Julia and Asia
"Haiz… girls… listen… it just popped into my eye. How am I suppose to dodge that?" Asked Issei
"Then shouldn't you be able to fix their clothes in instant?" Asked Luce
"I'm still a healthy boy after all…" Said Issei waving his hand at the ORC then their clothes fixed instantly
"Eh? How did you do that?" Asked Rias looks down
"That's… secret… Now if you excuse me… I have to get home with the girls." Said Issei
"Wait Issei-kun…" Said Rias
Issei looks back confuse. Rias then said "Because of Kokabiel incident, the leaders of the three factions will gather up for a meeting. And since you're the one who killed Kokabiel and you're the Sekiryuutei, they want to invite you to the summit as well."
"This is quite unexpected there…" Said Issei
"So… will you come?" Asked Rias
"We'll see…" Said Issei as he and the girls go back.
At lunch at school, Issei and the girls go to the ORC building. Issei opens the door and said "Rias… You want to see me?"
"Yes… the truth is… there's a client who wish to meet you, please meet him on this address." Said Rias handing the paper
Issei sighed as he agreed to it. After school, he then drops the girls at the house as he goes to the client house. He was about to opens the door then…
"There's something here…" Though Issei as he senses inside the house
Issei then opens the door fast then he attacks first. He charges up lightning as he uses 'Overload Burst' as his attack was blocked by 6 sets of black wings.
"A fallen huh? Very well then… Let see you tried this." Said Issei as he charges up lightning to prepare for 'Lightning Rocket'.
The Fallen felt Issei power start to skyrocket and said "Wait wait wait… Sorry for misdirection… but I'm not here to fight you."
Issei then stare at him then the Fallen said "I just want to know the killer of Kokabiel, I was restraining my power a lot, you got some scary sensory abilities."
"Who are you… and what do you want?" Asked Issei stills on guard
"Ah… quick to the point I see… very well… to be honest I owe you and Asia Argento as well an apology, but first… introductions are in order, I'm Azazel, one of the lord of the Grigori." Said Azazel
"Huh?" Said Issei
Azazel sat down and pulled a bottle of Scotch and poured himself a glass. He then said "You can take anything on the mini fridge… I have some kid friendly drinks since I figured we would chat for a while… this was not the way I had planned it but… this will do."
Issei then took a look to be safe then he took a Cola can.
"Listen… what Raynare did, that was a gross misinterpretation of my order. I asked her to watch over you to make sure that you had a Sacred Gear or not and prevent you from abusing it, that mean to take you in and teach you. Same goes with Asia as well. She was supposed to be taken care for and give the best education. Her gear had many combat applications but it's harmless. She was to be send later to a medical school, at least that was the idea… But it seems she decided to go against my order and tried to kill you and take away Asia Sacred Gear by force. I apologies for that and I want to ask you what happened that day." Said Azazel
"Simple… They tried to kill me and Asia… I simply went there to 'make' sure they won't be able to try that again." Said Issei
"If only thing were that simple… You… just went there, and 'cleaned' all of Raynare crews which is over a hundred by yourself!? Not to mention your previous episode with the Phenex as well." Said Azazel
"Your point?" Asked Issei
"Are you… truly human?" Asked Azazel
Issei just chuckles at that question. He never though he will be heard it again. Issei then said "According to the knowledge, Sacred Gears can only appear on humans or those who have human ancestry, like half-devil or such… both of my parent are humans… what does that point out?"
Azazel dropped an ice cube on his glass and said "Yes… I investigated your family, I ran another deep search 500 year back… all of them are normal, you're the only anomaly."
"The black sheep?" Asked Issei
"Ha… hilarious, we took a sample Raynare had… and indeed you're human, but what you can do… is not what a human can do, not to mention the lightning show at the underworld… the Greek Pantheon starts to assume that you're Zeus descendant already." Said Azazel
"Haha…" "Great… just what I need." Though Issei laughing
"And you're also the Sekiryuutei as well… You see, I'm quite a Sacred Gear Otaku. I would love to take a look at your Booster Gear if you allow me to." Said Azazel
"That's not my call… you have to ask my partner here." Said Issei bringing his right hand up
"I don't mind… as long as he hadn't research on the White One yet…" Said Draig
Seeing the look on Azazel face after that, he was convinced.
"Well… that
mean that you can't huh?" Asked Issei
"I guess so huh… so how about playing some games? You can talk to me about your 'fiancés' too while at it. I'm quite curious that how you were able to score multiple beautiful girls like that." Said Azazel
"Not all of the detail at least…" Said Issei grabbing the controller.
After a long time, Azazel telling him not to tell Rias before he gets home. His reason…
"Think about her reaction… it would be priceless." Said Azazel
Issei sweat drop at that. This guy is the leader of the Fallens?
After he returns home, the girls then asked him about who he was seeing. He just answers that someone quite higher up and there's no need to worry.
At the school, at lunch time, he and the girls spending time with the ORC.
When they arrived there, for some reason, Akeno starts to quite flirty at Issei much to the dismay of the girls and Rias.
After that, Rias then serve them some tea and said "Issei-kun. I was wondering if you'd be able to stay for a while? I'm going to unseal my bishop."
"Why? Is that bishop… dangerous?" Asked Issei
"Actually… more like the opposite. I want Luce-san help at this too." Said Rias looking at Luce
"Eh? My help?" Asked Luce
"You'll see after school." Said Rias smiling
Issei and the girls dealing with the class as always then go to the ORC.
At the way there, they bump to Saji.
"Geh… Hyoudou." Said Saji
"Oh yo… Saji. What are you doing here?" Asked Issei
"I heard they are releasing the hikimori bishop of Rias's, so I though I could come…" Said Saji weary
"Oh okay…" Said Issei
"Why is he so nervous when talking to Issei?" Asked Karin
"It's oblivious Karin… With how Issei can recreate Excalibur, the most dangerous weapon of the devil… of course Saji afraid of him." Said Luce
"Oh…" Said Karin
"I could sense Rias and the ORC uneasiness as well when we talk. Even if they talk normally, I can see that they are quite nervous." Said Luce
They arrived at the ORC room and left to the abandoned section of the school.
Luce then realized that the vampire present she felt before was here all along.
Rias then undid a powerful seal and open the doors.
"HHHHHHHHHHHYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" A very large scream escape out.
"I see you're still lively there Gasper-kun…" Said Rias
"I don't want to leave the room… I'm scared~!" Said Gasper
"C'mon Gasper-kun… you can now come outside." Said Rias
"I don't like to go outside…" Said Gasper
Rias then turns on the light and revealed…
"Wow… what a pretty girl." Said Saji
"Fufufu… you're mistaken Saji-kun, you see Gasper here is actually a boy." Said Akeno as she demurely laughed
"What's next? He like girl clothes because they're cute or something?" Said Issei
"… You can read mind?" Asked Gasper in awe
Luce could feel her ancestor crying when she heard that.
When Rias approach him, Issei then felt time had stopped as he saw Gasper sneaking out to another corner. Issei grabs him and said "This isn't the way Gasper."
"Eh? Y-You can move while I froze time?" Asked Gasper
"I guess…" Said Issei then time moving again.
Rias looked around to search for him then she sees Gasper is in Issei hand.
"Issei-kun… you can move while Gasper freeze time?" Asked Rias
"Let just say… I have something similar to Gasper on some extent." Said Issei smirking
While the ORC didn't understand that, the girls from Issei side understood as they saw it sometimes.
"Well anyway… seems like this guy here…" Said Issei brings up Gasper and said "Don't need strength at all… I think it will make him hate himself even more."
"Eh? Why is that?" Asked Rias
"It's oblivious Rias. He's hated his power more than himself. He's probably had some trauma in his childhood related to his power or maybe… his half-blood as well." Said Luce
"Eh? How did you know he's a half-blood?" Asked Rias
"You forgot who I am princess? I'm a vampire princess… Of course I know." Said Luce
"HYEEEEE! I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry…!" Said Gasper scared out of his wit
"Luce-san. I think your status make him scare more…" Said Julia
"He needs to know sooner or later. And besides, we have a Princess of a Goddess here as well. He needs to adapt." Said Luce looks at Yorihime
"HYEEEEEEE!" Said Gasper cowers in fear
"You make him even more frighten Luce!" Said Karen
"He's like a squire." Said Luluna observed Gasper
"Girls…" Said Issei sweat drop
Rias sees that as she starts to wonder was this a good idea. She then coughs and said "Um… Issei-kun… to tell you the truth… the reason why I asked Luce-san here is to see if she can do anything about this."
"Ah I see… so you though maybe Gasper here can talk easier if there's someone a same kind as him." Said Issei
"But she failed to think that was a royal member of his race meet up with him is a good idea or not…" Said Luce
"Yes…" Said Rias with her head down.
"Don't worry… I'll think of something…" Said Issei scratching his head
"Can you? Truly?" Asked Rias with hope
"I don't know… but can't hurt to try." Said Issei
The next day… he then encounters a familiar face.
"Oh Xenovia… what are you doing here? And is that… devil wings?" Asked Issei
"Yes… I just joined Rias peerage a minutes ago." Said Xenovia
"Care to tell the reason why?" Asked Luce
"Well… Because of the Church… After I came back with Irina… I realized that the Church had done many shady things behind the scene for the 'good' of them. Were the one the Church sent me to kill are as evil as they say? Or are they just in the Church way? Hence that's why… here I am." Said Xenovia
"I see…" Said Yorihime as she also felt the Church had done many things wrong after hearing the story.
"I also want to apology to Asia and also to you all as well… your Highnesses." Said Xenovia bow down
"Um… There's no need for that Xenovia-san. You just don't know at all…" Said Asia and Julia quickly
"Yeah… the Church are all meanie after all." Said Karin
"Thank you all…" Said Xenovia
After that day, a couple of days later, Sirzech came here much to Rias embarrassment. Apparently, he will be having the meeting of the three factions here… in this school and while at it… visit Rias at for the family visit day of the school.
After school, Sirzech stayed at his home for the time being as he chatting happily with his parents. Speaking of which, will the girls parent come to see them on that day or not.
Well he got the answer on that day. Apparently, back to their home, their parents are quite busy at their special day so… only Julia mother Adrianne-san can make it. Oh boy… I could see the whole class attention are on her at the class period. After that, they then glare at me… can I even have a normal day in peace?
After the class, he and the girls dropped off at the ORC. Rias and the ORC quite shocked seeing the Queen of the Succubus up close and after that Adrianne-san meets up with Sirzech as they talked
After that he then meet up with Sona-Kaichou… Onee-sama.
Quite a shock too… to think the person who bear the title of Leviathan is actually a girl who love Mahou Shoujo. Sona-kaichou was quite trouble at that as she run away crying… quite a funny sight if not in front of the whole students.
After that, Rias then said there's someone want to meet him at the shrine. Issei goes there and meet up
"Eh? Akeno-san?" Asked Issei
"Yes... I'm sorry for calling you here so suddenly Issei-kun. The truth is someone want to meet you." Said Akeno
"Eh who?" Asked Issei then he suddenly felt something
"So this is the Sekiryuutei?" Asked a voice
Issei turns around as he found a man with same set of wings like Azazel but they are pure white unlike Azazel.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Michael... the leader of the Angels." Said Michael
... "What do you know? Another big shot..." Said Issei laughing dryly
"Ahaha... I take it you had met with Azazel as well." Said Michael chuckling
"Yeah... so why is the big shot of the Heaven is meeting up with me?" Asked Issei
"Ah... the truth is... I wish to give you this." Said Michael as he brings out...
"Hou... Is this... Ascalon?" Asked Issei
"I'm surprise you're quite knowledge. Yes... This is the dragon slayer Ascalon, wielded by St. George himself." Said Michael
"So why are you giving it to me?" Asked Issei
"You see... because of the recent event... there are many factions will be on the move. And if they find out God is dead, they will try to invade and lead us to extinction. We believe that you can help us with the upcoming alliance meeting." Said Michael
"So you want me to take this sword for protecting you?" Asked Issei
"Ah no... we wish to make peace with the Sekiryuutei. As you know... the three factions had combined their power to seal off the two heavenly dragons in the past. Those two throw our battlefield into chaos that time. So that's why... we want to make harmony with the Sekiryuutei." Said Michael
"Hah... I see... You don't have to worry... as long as no innocent and the one close to me were harm, I won't do anything like that." Said Issei chuckling as he gives the sword back
"I see... but please... keep it... this is our apprecitiation for helping us with Kokabiel." Said Michael
"...Haiz... Very well then." Said Issei as he then stores it inside his pocket dimension
"Well then... I must be off... I'll see you and your fiancés at the summits." Said Michael as he disappears
After that, he then sit down drinking tea with Akeno. He then said "Nee Akeno-san. Can I ask you something?"
"What is it Issei-kun?" Asked Akeno
"The truth... I have seen you many times and I sensed that you have power similar to the Fallen. Why is that?" Asked Issei
"I see... It makes sense that you can sense it." Said Akeno. She then revealing her devil wing... and Fallen wing. She then continues "My mother, the shrine maiden on one day, she saved the Fallen Angel Baraquiel, who had been wounded in battle. And after that, their bond lead to my birth."
Akeno then looks at Issei with painful face and said "Fufufu... You see right? The reason why I became a Devil because I want to get rid of this wing. But instead, I was reincarnate with both of these wings."
Issei saw that she was hurt with that blood on her vein. Issei could easily wipe her Fallen blood out of her but she needs to accept this is who she is.
"Well... you hate Fallen because they hunted you and Asia. And not long after that they tried to destroy the city. I imagine that you hate me right?" Asked Akeno chuckling dryly
"Don't ever say that." Said Issei making Akeno looks at him
"I hate them but not all of the Fallen. There are many good and bad in each different race. No race is a perfect being. And you Akeno-san... This is who you truly are, you are you while them are them. You are the only one who can decide who you are, not what you are. Even if you're the Fallen, you are still Akeno-san. The kind senpai of the ORC. So have some confident to yourself because that look doesn't suit you at all." Said Issei smiling
Akeno crying after she heard that. Issei then chuckling at that. Then he heard Akeno said "You really should know what word you should choose Issei-kun. But I can see why the Princesses and Buchou fall for you."
"Eh?" Asked Issei then he was tackle down by Akeno
"Nee Issei-kun... Do you like Rias?" Asked Akeno
"Eh? Well... I guess yeah?" Said Issei
"What about the Princesses?" Asked Akeno
"Of course I love them." Said Issei
"And not to mention Asia-chan too." Said Akeno sighed out
"Eh? What do you mean by those question Akeno-san?" Asked Issei
"Nee Issei-kun..." Said Akeno
"Um... yes?" Asked Issei
"I'm fine with being a mistress." Said Akeno sliding close to Issei
"Eh?!" Said Issei shocked
SLIDE CRACK. A sound was heard of the slide door hit hard. At the door were his fiancés, Rias and Asia was crying.
"Issei" Said Luce
"That's not fair Issei." Said Karen
"Wawawwawa..." Said Julia
"Issei-san~!" Said Yorihime with a terrifying smile.
"Issei having an affair." Said Luluna. Luluna where did you even learn that?
"I was right to aware of you after all... Akeno." Said Rias glaring at Akeno
After an interrogation from the girls, they then leave the shrine. At the way, Rias said "Nee Issei-kun... Akeno is Akeno right?"
"Yes..." Said Issei
"And what about me?" Asked Rias
"Well... you're Rias after all. A Japanese Otaku Rias to be exact." Said Issei chuckling as he remembers Rias hobby by accident
Rias blushed red at that and said "Right... I'm Rias." as she walks happily much to Issei confuse
The girls then looks at Issei harshly at that making Issei shrink back in fright.
After that it's lesson time for Gasper. It's not easy at all so he had to temporally lock his Sacred Gear with his mystic art to make sure he won't run away. The first thing to do is… leading him outside to hang out with him and the girls. Luce teaches him about the basic about vampire; Julia and Asia hang out with him at meal time since those two are much easier to acquainting with; Karen is physical training, poor Gasper had to keep up with her with strength so he had to relieve him by telling Karen to slow down at normal human level so he can keeps up; Yorihime teaches him about the cultural and some subject he weak at; After that, playing chasing the cat with Luluna.
It seems his decision was corrected. Having someone of the same race not berate you and teaching you is much better and also had the girls teaching him many other things outside of the school making him adapt easier.
It was then, a present he felt and he said "What are you doing here… Azazel?"
Azazel appeared out. The girls look surprise at seeing the leader of the Fallen. Azazel said "Ah… Sekiryuutei… it's a while after that night."
"So this is the leader of the Fallen?" Said Luce
"Ah… you girls must be his fiancés right? It's a pleasure to meet you all." Said Azazel
"The pleasure is our Azazel-san." Said Luce
"Just Azazel is fine… The reason I'm here because I want to see the 'Forbidden Balor View' up close." Said Azazel looking at Gasper
Gasper scared and retreat to a cardboard which where is that came from… Issei had no idea.
"Stop scaring him like that… do you know how hard is it to take him outside of that box?" Asked Issei
"Ah my bad… but here my suggestion, let him drink your blood Sekiryuutei. If he drinks your blood, they will gain power." Said Azazel
"Well… thanks for the advice… I guess." Said Issei
The fallen angel leaves the area then he heard Yorihime said "Wait… aren't you going to apology for sneaking around like that?"
"Ah about that… It's my hobby so I won't." Said Azazel
"Huh…" Said Issei as Azazel disappear.
"I swear… that man…" Said Yorihime upset
"That's who he is after all… Just ignore him." Said Issei
"Well then… let's get back to training. Karen can you get him out of that box?" Asked Luce
After that, Issei then let him drink a drop of his blood and continues his training.
At the next day, Issei and the girls then arrived at the meeting room. And the meeting start.
Done. And by the way, I was on the block of the 'Harem Collector'. I want to ask that which girl will be next: Elise from 'Elise the Devil'. Link: hhdgames /elise-the-devil/
Or Vampire like Eva from 'Negima'? Or Yue from 'Arifureta'?
