Chapter 20 Issei's Admission and Gasper's Condition
I don't own DxD; I just use its characters and techniques. All credit goes to its creator. Same applies for anything that I used from other animes.
Welcome to Chapter 20 everybody. Last time, Sona did the unthinkable in order to prevent her sister from ruining parent's day, have a threesome featuring her her sister and Issei. As if it couldn't get more bizarre, Sona's queen Tsubaki joined the party. So the new four way love fest began. With Parents day taken care of what would happen next for Sona and Issei.
(Issei's New House)
One of Issei's favorite things in the new house, was the exercise area Sona and Serafall had installed for him. It had everything Issei needed in order to get a perfect workout without leaving the house and a barrier function meant he could use as much power as he wanted. The best feature however was the recovery area. In addition to a massive Olympic size pool and the large group showers, there was a large hot tub that Issei could use to relax and recover and thanks to some special modifications have sex if he really wanted to. This meant he could train without having to wake up any of his guests and then heal himself before he went to class. Issei was currently relaxing in said hot tub the day after Parents day. "This new house kicks ass. I can get all the training I want and thanks to this tub I don't need to worry Asia" Issei said happily.
"It seems your mate went a long way towards ensuring that you could get as strong as you wanted. You can train as intensely as you want and you'll be back to normal after a relatively short dip" Ddraig said with a smile.
"Yea I know what you-" Issei started to say but a magic circle appeared in the room. Issei was surprised to find that it wasn't Sona's magic circle but the one belonging to his master. "Good morning Rias." Issei said smiling as his master arrived in a pure white swimsuit with gold rings to tie the fabric together.
"I heard that you guys had a pool so I figured I would come check it out" Rias said calmly. It was a bold lie and Issei knew it.
"At 5:30 in the morning" Issei groaned. Rias was up to something again and he knew it.
"Well yea, I can get an early morning swim and then go to class later. I'm not gonna have the time otherwise" Rias said innocently.
'More like, you know I do early morning training and hoped that by reminding me how great your body is I'd be more receptive to working with you.' Issei thought to himself. Ever since he revealed his true relationship with Sona, Rias was nervous about him and he knew it. Sure he went there for contracts and if they had missions he would help out but otherwise they didn't interact at all. "Rias, why are you really here?" I said firmly. It's been half a month since I moved in and I'm pretty sure she's come over to hang out with Sona a few times and use the pool.
Rias pouted because once again Issei had seen through her. "I came because I wanted to speak to you and I figured that the swimsuit would at least give you a reason to speak to me. We barely talk otherwise. That's really not fair considering you're my servant" Rias pouted as she got into the hot tub. Of course Rias made sure to stay just above the water so Issei had a good look at her massive breasts as they floated in the tub.
"That's true" Issei admitted with a cheeky smile. If Rias came in with regular clothes on he would've ignored her and gone back up to his room. The swimsuit certainly gave him motivation to listen, he was the 'Pervert King' and Rias does have amazing boobs. Sona was right to have her A-cup angst and Issei understood it now more than ever. Fortunately for Issei that angst was long gone and his relationship with Sona was stronger than ever.
"Why do you serve me so loyally despite everything I've done to you?" Rias wondered. Issei had every reason in the world to be a stray devil and Rias was certain that nobody would stop him if he revealed the truth about them.
"That should be obvious. It's to honor my deal with Sona." Issei said bluntly.
"Is it really that simple?" Rias frowned since again it was proof that Sona was saving her.
"Yes it is. After all Sona was under no obligation to do what she did and you know it. She gave up her virginity in order to help her best friend. As a result, not serving you would've dishonored her sacrifice" Issei replied. It wasn't really a sacrifice but Issei said that to point out how far Sona went to help her.
"Yes I know but you could've easily joined Sona after the Riser incident was resolved"
"Geez you're dense Rias." Issei said in disbelief.
"How am I dense?"
"If Sona wanted me to join her peerage it would've been an absolutely simple task to do so from the very beginning. She was preparing me for you the entire time. Even though we were having sex and enjoying each other's company, Sona believed it wasn't going to last the minute I ran into you.
"Huh!" Rias said in confusion. She had no clue that her friend felt that way even in their few conversations since then.
"Sona has what many refer to as A-Cup angst"
"What's that" Rias wondered having never heard of the term for obvious reasons.
"Short version is that she gets annoyed being around big breasted women all the time. I mean Tsubaki you and Akeno all have massive breasts and it makes her uncomfortable. Hell, she thought that once I beat Riser you'd turn your focus towards me and because of your breasts I'd be putty in your hands.
"Not a lot of good that did me. You rejected me until the night before the Riser battle. Now that I think about it you probably knew I was coming and accepted me out of pity." Rias pouted.
"I rejected you because your attitude more than anything else" Issei admitted.
"Wait you mean" Rias exclaimed having finally realized her chance to 'set things right' with her pawn.
"Sona isn't completely wrong about me and her concerns were relatively valid when our relationship began. I am a pervert and you have one of the best bodies of anybody I've ever seen and I've seen my fair share. Your attitude is my only problem at this point" Issei explained.
"So if I wanted to sleep with you now, what would you say?" Rias wondered. This was her chance to get back on Issei's good graces even if it felt cheap and sleazy.
"I'd still say no." Issei revealed much to her annoyance.
"Oh come on, you're having sex with all these girls already. What's another girl to a guy that wants a harem?" Rias pouted.
Rias had a point but he had to stop this from continuing. "See that kind of response is what I'm talking about. While I'm having sex with tons of girls, there are reasons behind all of them. I'm sleeping with Irina because she's my childhood friend and I cared about her long before I met you or Sona. Xenovia had sex with me because it was a way to separate herself from the church and yes we still have sex but it's not as much as before. Murayama was because she got a summoning contract from your familiar and I had to bail you out and sex became our unofficial contract. Plus it gave Xenovia a new friend."
"Fine so you won't sleep with me. I guess as long as I know you're my loyal servant everything else is fine." Rias groaned. She was worried about issei's loyalty and she had it. The rest would take care of itself sooner or later. Rias got out of the tub and went to take a shower in the bathtub.
"Good grief that girl is troublesome" Issei muttered. What Rias was unaware of was that Issei was getting harder by the second. It was taking everything he had not to jump her bones.
"You're too noble for your own good Issei" Sona teased as she shimmered in front of him. Unlike Rias was completely naked and she took the place that her best friend occupied.
"How long were you listening" Issei smirked.
"Long enough to know that you should be having sex with Rias right now. I can't believe you still won't do anything with her." Sona smirked as she got in the tub. Unlike Rias who sat in front of Issei. Sona placed her butt right on top of issei's boner knowing the effect it would have on the teen.
"For a girl who had A-Cup angst for the longest time you sure seem okay with me sleeping with the other girls. I mean seriously I've slept with your sister your best friend and your queen and yet you haven't said anything." Issei teased as he groped Sona for good effect.
"Oh shut up, I needed to keep my sister away from Parents Day and Tsubaki caught me off guard. I didn't exactly see you complaining during that little foursome either" Sona moaned as Issei continued his work.
"So what about the time with Irina the night after my parents told us everything? You guys actually came to me for that one" Issei smirked.
"We kept playing rock paper scissors to see who would get you but after all the ties we just decided to share." Sona moaned louder. She was on the verge and Issei knew it.
"Yea yea. I guess Tsubaki isn't the only closet pervert in the student council" Issei teased.
"Oh shut up and fuck me Issei. You have a boner and I know you want to use it" Sona pouted as she got up and put her hands on the edge of the tub exposing her soaking pussy to Issei.
"Very well Milady" Issei teased before sticking it in. This was certainly an interesting morning for Issei and he wasn't going to complain. He may be a little late for class though.
(Scene Skip)
The rest of that day went by very peacefully for Issei besides the stink eye that Irina gave him because she knew why he was late. Once the day was over Issei arrived at the ORC with Xenovia Asia and a still grumpy Irina.
"We've arrived Lady Rias" Issei announced formally. It was how she had been
"Thank you Issei." Rias said with a more pleasant smile. With the nerves from earlier in the day over, Rias was ready for a new chapter in her relationship with Issei. The calm scene changed when a magic circle appeared and Rias's brother arrived wearing a business suit.
'Well this is going to be interesting' Issei thought to himself.
"Big brother what are you doing here?" Rias questioned.
"I came because I wanted to give you a special reward for all your efforts recently." Sirzechs said with a smile.
'You mean because she's not married to Riser and survived against Kokabiel. Yea something's up' Issei thought to himself.
"What kind of reward" Rias wondered. She had to admit there was no reason for the reward so this was a strange situation.
"We're going to release your second bishop" Sirzechs said seriously catching everybody off guard.
"Second bishop" Irina wondered in confusion.
"What is she talking about" Xenovia wondered.
'That explains the presence I felt downstairs.' Issei thought to himself. There was another presence in the club and Issei was very curious about it. Now he was going to finally figure out the source.
Rias turned towards the church girls and Issei in order to explain the truth, "I actually have another bishop besides Asia. However for various reasons he was sealed away" Rias revealed to the girls shock and Issei's amusement.
"That so" Issei said nonchalantly. This was strange even for Rias and he could tell he'd be annoyed once he realized what was going on.
"That's right, but big brother are you sure I'm ready" Rias wondered. Given her troubles with Issei, activating that Bishop was far too risky and Rias knew it.
"I'm positive you're ready Rias. The last few months you've changed for the better and I believe you can do what you have to do" Sirzechs admitted.
"Does this have to do with the Peace conference you mentioned yesterday?" Rias revealed
"Yesterday." Issei asked in confusion.
"That's right. While you were doing your errand, my brother told us that The Three Factions were having a peace conference at Kuoh Academy next Friday. Considering your friendship with Azazel we figured he'd tell you about it. I guess we were wrong" Rias shrugged.
"That's right. Kokabiel's actions proved that we need to bury the hatchet and all things considered it seems like the right time" Sirzechs admitted. That wasn't the only reason but Sirzechs knew that revealing the truth was unwise.
"Oh yea, Azazel mentioned something like that a while ago but we didn't get into the details because I got distracted." Issei admitted sheepishly.
"Distracted by what" Rias asked curiously.
"Let me guess, that was when Murayama called." Irina groaned. She was still furious that Xenovia exposed Issei to one of his classmates and that Issei had to add her to his growing harem in order to silence her.
"Pretty much" Issei admitted sheepishly.
"Who is Murayama" Sirzechs wondered. Rias looked on nervously knowing that her brother wouldn't like what Issei was about to reveal.
Issei smirked because he knew this wouldn't end well for Rias. "Murayama is a classmate of ours who Rias gave a summoning contract to. She used it to summon Xenovia and she ended up learning about the supernatural world. Luckily for us, I dealt with it and she's now an ally." Issei admitted. He left some details out for Murayama's sake but he did give enough information that Rias was in trouble.
"I see. I'll have to talk with my sister about this another time. We have more important matters to deal with" Sirzechs groaned.
"Alright big brother" Rias said nervously. Between her concerns about Issei and now Gasper's reveal it was a very stressful time for her.
The group went down to a private section of the Occult Research Club that Rias hadn't taken them before. They arrived at a massive door with yellow warning tape all around it. "What's with all of the tape" Irina wondered. It was certainly a strange sight.
"My second bishop is a bit special. He's incredibly antisocial so we leave him alone" Rias admitted.
"However, Gasper still manages to get the most contracts of anybody through the computer" Akeno said with a smile.
'That can't be it. The only reason Sirzechs would seal him was if this bishop was too strong for Rias to control.' Issei thought to himself. Things were about to get fun and he knew it.
"Well here we go" Sirzechs said before removing the seal on the door.
Once the seal was removed, Issei's senses exploded. Thanks to Ddraig and some training from, Kuroka on the side, he was far more in tune with the supernatural and could instantly tell something was off. 'What the fuck is this power. I've never sensed such a bizarre combination.' Issei groaned. The person was extremely powerful but also extremely unstable.
"Well everybody let's go meet him." Rias said cheerfully as she ignored the look of concern on Issei's face.
As they came in further Issei really got nervous and so did Ddraig, "Partner I recognize this power. It's been millennia since I've seen him but I recognize that aura anywhere" Ddraig said with a mix of shock and panic.
'What is it Ddraig, what do you know about this bishop' Issei asked nervously. Ddraig was rarely this uncomfortable.
"That power is…" Ddraig explained and Issei instantly went berserk.
"Are you freaking kidding me!?" Issei screamed out loud unaware that the mysterious bishop had just revealed himself.
"I'm sorry" the bishop panicked and his eyes opened briefly and glowed. Before the group realized it the person was gone and had moved to another part of the room.
'Sirzechs you reckless bastard. This little headache can stop time' Issei cursed before turning towards the Devil King with disgust.
"Issei what was that all about? Your outburst terrified Gasper." Rias complained.
"Sorry Rias, but I need to talk to your brother for a minute" Issei growled. Ddraig revealed that the power he sensed was Forbidden Balor View a powerful sacred gear that had the ability to stop time. If Rias had somebody like this at her disposal she could've demolished Riser.
"Very well" Sirzechs said calmly. He could tell something was wrong and that it was a private matter.
"Don't take too long" Rias said nervously. Issei was rarely that angry and that spelled problems for anybody who caught his ire. The fact that it was her brother he was mad at was certainly problematic.
Issei and Sirzechs left the room and went far away from Rias and the others. Once he was sure they were alone Sirzechs cast a privacy barrier since he realized that this was an important conversation. "So what do you want to talk about?" Sirzechs said calmly. The devil king was aware that it could get much less civil very quickly.
"Where do we start, how about the fact that this kid has a power that once mastered makes him as dangerous as you. Not to mention the fact that this kid can stop time. You realize how insanely reckless that is" Issei complained.
Sirzechs was taken aback that he knew about Gasper but figured that his dragon had told him, "That's why he was sealed away for so long. I couldn't risk his power going berserk and killing Rias."
"Sirzechs let me explain this in another way, one that will make you realize what a terrible idea it is to release the bishop." Issei said bluntly. Sirzechs was shocked at Issei's bluntness but allowed him to continue nonetheless "You and I both know that somebody will attempt to attack the Three Factions meeting. It's the perfect place to cause some serious damage and that much is obvious. You'll have the most powerful members of heaven, hell, and the fallen angels along with the owners of boosted gear all in the same room." Issei said sternly
"What's your point" Sirzechs said angrily. Issei was aware of things he shouldn't know about and it was a big time problem.
"That group is going to need a way to get around this group of powerful individuals otherwise they'd be sending warriors to a slaughter. You've just given them one."
"What are you talking about" Sirzechs wondered. Of course he knew that but he couldn't reveal the truth to Issei yet.
"If they know about him the Khaos Brigade will use the kid to freeze most of you guys so the attack would go off easier. Surely you realized that unless… don't tell me you" Issei growled in disbelief. Sirzechs was not only aware of the possibility he was counting on it.
"That's right, I'm aware of the risks involved. However I also knew that you would consider that possibility as well and that you could find a way around it. You could say that you are the counter to that very concern"
Issei groaned as he couldn't believe what he was hearing. The only person in that peerage who could train Gasper was him and Sirzechs knew it. "You Gremory's are a real piece of work. I'm beginning to understand why the Old Maou faction is so annoyed with you." Issei growled.
Sirzechs got angry when Issei brought up his long time enemies, "Watch your tone Red Dragon" Sirzechs growled.
"Spare me Sirzechs, we both know that you've used your influence more than you should." Issei accused.
"You have no idea what you're talking about" Sirzechs scoffed. Things were getting very dangerous and he knew it.
"You're gonna tell me with a straight face that Rias just so happened to be in the area when Akeno's family was attacked or when the Holy Sword Project slaughtered Kiba and his buddies. As for Koneko you knew what her master was doing to Kuroka and allowed it anyway. Then you add this little time stopper. You've been giving your sister ringers for years. It wouldn't surprise me if you knew about me and allowed Rias to come to Kuoh in order to get access to my power" Issei vented.
"She was fortunate that's it" Sirzechs said calmly. He truly did have no idea how that happened.
"I call bull, but that's not important right now. What IS important is me getting this little kid up to speed before the three factions meeting. Otherwise everybody there will be dead. You're playing a dangerous game but I'll play it also" Issei groaned as he walked back to meet his new teammate. Issei had done a fair bit of manipulation of his own. However, this was taking it to a whole new level.
When he arrived back he went towards everybody and finally noticed the person in question. 'Ddraig please tell me I'm not seeing things and the person with that power is this wimp' Issei thought to himself as he looked at Gasper for the first time.
"No Partner you are not" Ddraig groaned also.
Issei couldn't believe what he was seeing. Gasper was even shorter than Koneko and had light blonde hair in a bowl cut with light purple eyes. The most horrifying part for Issei was the female uniform that the kid chose to wear. "It's nice to meet you Gasper. I'm sorry about my outburst earlier but my name is Issei" Issei said with a smile as he extended his hand. 'Note to self. Fuck Rias's brains out until she calls me master.' Issei thought to himself. If he was going to help the kid out he was going to get his pound of flesh, literally.
"Nice to meet you too." Gasper said in an extremely effeminate voice which Issei took in stride. This was the beginning of a painful friendship.
That's it for Chapter 20 boys and girls. Woo boy this one was certainly fun. The confrontation with Rias was something I did to explain more of the Sona Issei Rias dynamic which I haven't done much of. Gasper yea it was just the start but the Sirzechs Issei conversation is one of those things that bothered me about DxD. Next chapter Issei reflects on his bizarre life and begins his training with Gasper.
