Occult Research Club Room

All the members of the ORC were currently here. Among the, Rias was sitting at her desk, holding her head in her hands, because of Asia, the nun who Issei and Toma had brought back. She just heard from Issei about what happened.

"Issei… Toma…"

"I'm sorry, I just couldn't sit there and let it happen…"

"Ugh… honestly, this is terrible situation. She's a nun affiliated with the fallen angel faction, and she's considered an enemy to us devils… her presence here could spark another war between the three factions…"

"HUH!? Just over trivial thing like that!?" Issei was shocked to hear Rias' words.

"Buchou, why don't you hide her?"

"That's right, from what I've heard, returning her after all this time would be dangerous for Asia-chan."

Both Ryoichi and Eito were unusually in a good mood.

"…Okay, now that it's happened, there's nothing I can do about it."

"Then—"

"However, you two will be responsible for her safety." Rias said sternly, nailing both Issei and Toma.

"Alright! So, now that we've gotten buchou's permission, Asia, Toma and I will protect you from now on."

"Yes, I'm sorry for the trouble, Issei, Toma."

Then…

"Asia-chan, don't trust these two too much."

"Yeah, yeah, these two are two of the Four Perverts."

Eito and Ryoichi said.

"Shut up! We are not like that."

"Both of us really want to protect Asia."

"That's right, Issei and Toma are good people."

However…

"Really, are you two going to do something nasty to Asia with that kind of talk?"

"Feh, absolutely. I'll be the one to protect her, buchou."

"Oi, Eito, don't take my harem away!"

The two began cursing each other, while Rias sighed and facepalmed in exasperation.

"Well then, Issei, Toma, I'll leave you in charge of this girl." She said.

Meanwhile

Seito University Hospital, CR Headquarters

"Huuh… I wonder if she's okay…"

"Ooh, you mean the nun that you couldn't save yesterday, Examiner?"

"Yeah, two of the devils from Gremory peerage that we fought last time said that they would take care of her, so they took her by force, but…"

"Examiner, as far as I'm concerned, it's absolutely impossible. As a surgeon, I can tell you that acting on the spur of the moment or on emotions will always fail, not only in operations but in everything…"

"Oh, man… Prodigy, I'm getting more and more nervous hearing you say that…"

As Kiriya listened to Hiiro's opinion, he became more and more worried about whether those two could really protect Asia.

"It can't be helped, I'm going to Kuoh again tomorrow…" He muttered and drank his coffee.

The next day

Hyoudou Family Residence

Toma was currently in front of Issei's house, waiting for him and Asia to come out. After that night, Asia will stay at Issei's house for a while. And today, the three of them decided to go to a new shopping mall in the center of Kuoh.

"Hey, Issei, is Asia here yet?"

"Yeah, sorry I'm late. Let's go, Asia."

"Alright, Issei."

A few minutes later

Shopping Mall

"Whoa… it's so big!"

"Yeah, it's pretty modern for a shopping mall built in Kuoh…"

"Alright, let's go inside." Toma said and the three went inside.

Then a huge monitor above the entrance of the shopping mall began to play a commercial with music.

"NEW GENERATION, NEW LIFE, imagine a world where every disease can be cured… imagine an era when diseases are cured by robots with the skills of the world's best surgeons… imagine a glorious future for us humanity… is this fantasy? No, it's all in the future…"

So far, this was just an advertisement, but Toma was shocked by the next words.

"We will create a new world… Yggdrasill Corporation, we will open up the future of humanity…"

And at the end of the CM, the Yggdrasill Corporation logo with a tree on it was shown.

'Y-Yggdrasill Corporation!? Why, what the heck is going on!?'

Toma was puzzled. The Yggdrasill Corporation, whose ad was playing on the monitor before him, was a company that had been in the position of an evil organization in Kamen Rider Gaim, and he began to wonder why it was in this world.

"Eeh… so this is a mall funded by Yggdrasill Corporation, huh… no wonder it's so futuristic… what's wrong, Toma? Are you going to stare at the monitor all the time?"

"Uh, it's nothing, let's just get inside."

"Yeah, come on, Asia."

"Yes."

The three began to walk in.

"There she is!"

"Aah, Asia, my future wife!"

Ryoichi and Eito had also come to the mall to get her.

Afterwards, the three of them shopped at clothing stores, bookstores, and dined in the restaurant area on the top floor.

"Now, where to go next?"

"Well, I heard there's a big arcade in this mall."

"Seriously? Asia, let's go there."

"Yes."

At Toma's suggestion, the three of them decided to go the arcade next.

"They're going to the arcade…"

"Okay, let's go!"

The stalkers also followed suit.

Arcade

"Whoaaa! Amazing! There are so many games!"

"Yeah, awesome!"

"Yes, lots of machines…"

The three of them were dazzled by the multitude of games around them, and then, they saw that there was a crowd of people at the far end of the zone.

"What's that…?"

"There's a lot of people there…"

"Shall we go there, Issei?"

"Sure."

And there…

"There! You got this!"

"Come on, Nico-chan!"

"Almost there!"

"Fufufu, my heart is racing…"

There were two girls competing against each other in a fighting game. And one of them spoke.

"That's… Saki!?"

"You know her?"

"Yeah, she's my classmate who's really good at games… but wow… she's a real pro, huh?" Issei commented on Saki's gaming skills.

Toma, on the other hand, choked when he saw the other girl, not Saki, because…

'No freaking way… Nico Saiba… and the ones cheering behind her… huh!? No way… what's going on!?'

Toma was shocked even more to see a boy and a girl cheering for Saki's opponent, Nico, from behind. And the same goes for Ryoichi and Eito, who were stalking from behind. Because…

"What the heck!? That girl over there… Nico Saiba…!? And…"

"Mai Takatsukasa and… Mitsuzane… Kureshima…!? What the hell is going on!? Why are the characters from Kamen Rider in this High School DxD world!?"

They were stunned because they were the characters from the Kamen Rider series, their favorite before they died.

"What the hell is wrong with this world…?"

"Oh yeah… I just realized, the games in this arcade… they're all Genm Corporation games, Bang Bang Shooting, Drago Knight Hunter, and DoReMiFa Beat!?"

Ryoichi and Eito were confused and frustrated at the same time. They were doing anything using their Kamen Rider powers to achieve their harem goals. But when they saw Nico, Mitsuzane, and Mai, as well as the Genm Corporation games in the arcade, something popped into their minds.

''Maybe we'll end up fighting real Kamen Riders in the future.''

"Don't be silly… I am the OC Lord… there's no way real Kamen Riders here!"

"UOOOOOOOOAAHH!"

The two of them finally left the arcade, screaming.

"? I think I just heard shouting… oh well, Toma, let's do it too… ah, yeah, how about a crane game?"

"Y-yeah…"

Toma left and headed for the crane game area at Issei's invitation.

Meanwhile

"Go! Nico-san!"

"Hang in there, Nico-chan!"

"I'm on it! I'll beat her this time!"

A few hours ago, Nico happened to bump into Mitsuzane and his friend Mai at this mall. The friendly Mai suggested that they go around the mall together, and in the process, they came to this arcade. As she was playing here, a mysterious girl named Saki challenged to play against her in a game, and here she is.

But this Saki girl is a very skilled gamer, and even Nico was struggling, where she thought she could win in less than 10 minutes, so she put all her concentration into the game. However…

"Heh, not bad… but… time to finish!"

With that, Saki pressed the buttons and sticks with blinding speed, and then…

YOU WIN!

"Yeah!"

"No way…"

Saki won against Nico.

"It was fun, let's play again next time." Saki lightly patted Nico's shoulder, who was stunned by the shock of losing, and left.

"Umm… Nico-san…"

"I-it's okay! You will win next time."

The two encouraged her.

"I… although it's unofficial… to be beaten by some unknown like that…" Nico clenched her fists and muttered in frustration.

"That was a lot of fun, but… it's not quite enough… now, what's next…?"

Saki was walking around the arcade muttering to herself, when she saw Issei, Toma and Asia.

"I'm a little curious about Issei and Toma… and who is that other girl…"

Saki decided to follow them for a while.
