The following morning. Issei and Raynare woke up late due to their activity the previous night. Issei kissed Raynare on the lips before getting out of bed. He then went to his room and took some clothes to change into after a shower.
As soon as Issei entered the shower, Raynare went in too. Issei didn't mind this, and they both enjoyed their shower. When they were done, they headed downstairs.
In the living room, Issei and Raynare saw Miki, Gorou, Asia and Ophis. Ophis looked normal as she usually does. But the rest had dark circles in their eyes.
"What happened to you guys?" Issei asked. This was the first time he had seen his parents have dark circles in their eyes. And Asia had one as well. What was going on? "Why do you all have dark circles on your eyes?".
"This…?" Miki said. She gestured on her face. "Is all your fault. We gave you time last night, but who knew that you two would go at it until 1 AM. Poor Asia fainted when she heard the noises Raynare was making".
Issei and Raynare were shocked. However, Raynare was more so. She wanted to dig a hole and just disappear. 1 AM? That's how only they did it for?! They got home at 7 PM! It didn't even feel that long! Issei and Raynare then gave an apologetic look toward Asia. Except Asia couldn't look them in the eye. She keeps picturing Issei and her doing it. Asia didn't know why.
"You have very powerful magic, Ise," Gorou said. He then looked his son in the eye. "Please, next time, can't you put on a silencing spell or something. We don't want to hear our son and his girlfriend having sex".
"Hah! Now you know how I feel when you and mom would spontaneously have sex after an argument in front of me!" Issei said. He was pointing at his father's face. Said father felt embarrassed since he and Miki do, in fact, forget their surroundings when they're at home. "But, yeah. I'll make sure to put up a silencing spell next time".
"By the way, Ise," Miki said. She then gestured to Ophis. "Ophis is feeling a bit felt out. She wants to stay with you. Can you bring her around today?".
"Sure, no problem," Issei said. He then went to Ophis and kneeled down so that he would be at eye level with her. "Hey, next time, you can just ask me if you want to join me, okay?".
Ophis nodded, and Issei picked her up as he usually does.
"Anyways, I have to go," Issei said. His parents and Raynare then looked at him. "I'll be heading to the mountain to continue Rias and her Peerage's training. I'll be back by 7 PM".
"Do you mind if I join you?" Raynare said. She didn't have any issues with Devils, and she wanted to compare how Issei trains Rias and her Peerage. "I promise I won't cause any trouble".
Issei just nodded at her, and he opened a portal.
In the mountain estate of Rias, Akeno, Koneko, and Kiba were ready as they usually are. But this time, Rias was joining them in training. When they saw Issei, they were going to greet him. Until they saw Ophis and Raynare. Akeno's disgust over the Fallen Angel was lessened ever since she got her mother back, but there were still traces of it, but that's not why she stopped.
Again, Issei brought with him another insane being. Rias rubbed her temple. The last time, Issei brought one of the Heavenly Dragons. Sure, why not, right? But this time, he brought something even more absurd. Issei was carrying the Infinite Dragon God as if she was nothing more than a little girl! Can he be any more insane?!
"Uhm…Issei?" Rias called. She was afraid to say anything that might trigger Ophis. "You know that the little girl in your hands is not a little girl, right?".
"Ophis? Of course, I know she's not a little girl," Issei said. The prospect that Issei knew the identity of Ophis and yet still continues to treat her like a little girl scares them. Who in their right mind would do that?! Issei, that's who. "Well, since you already know who she is, I don't have to introduce her to you guys".
Issei then looked at Ophis and pointed to the people in front of him one by one. He introduced Rias and the others to Ophis. Issei knew that introducing Rias and the others might be in vain. Ophis doesn't remember the names of those she has no interest in.
"S-She…Uhm…She won't attack, would she?" Rias asked. She still didn't know what to think. She was in the presence of the Infinite Dragon God! "I don't want to die at such a young age".
"Don't worry, she won't attack you. Unless you take her food," Issei said with a laugh. Rias and the others sighed a breath of relief. If Issei can joke, then it should be fine, right? "By the way, the food thing, that's true. The only person Ophis doesn't attack is me".
Rias once again tensed up. She looked at Koneko and thought she would have to separate her from Ophis as she might accidentally eat the Dragon God's food.
From inside the kitchen, Shuri came out and informed everyone that breakfast was ready. And they should all take a seat at the dining table.
"Shoot! I forgot to eat breakfast," Issei said. He then noticed that Raynare and Ophis were also hungry. "You don't mind if we eat here, do you? I brought my own food".
Technically, Issei brought no food. But he can use his Mystic Arts to conjure them something to eat.
"Ara…Issei," Shuri greeted. She then came close to him. "Do you want to eat with us? I made plenty of food".
"If you don't mind," Issei said. Seems like he didn't have to conjure food. He then looked at Ophis. Never mind, he would still need to conjure food. "We're a big eater. If need be, I might cook some more".
Koneko's ear propped up. Unlike the others, Koneko has tasted Issei's food. She loved it so much that she worked even harder to get another reward. So, hearing that Issei might cook, she got excited. Issei saw this, and he sighed. He created a duplicate and asked it to cook as much as possible.
Rias and the others are still amazed at Issei's magic to create a duplicate. The strength doesn't decrease no matter the number of duplicates. In their mind, they all thought that it was a cheat ability. Imagine a hundred Issei with all the same strength? Isn't that insane?
While Issei's duplicate was cooking, everyone started eating. Shuri is a talented cook, just like her daughter. But Issei believes she can be better.
"This is delicious," Issei said. He was eating and enjoying the meal. "Now I know where Akeno got her talent in cooking".
"Ara, thank you, Issei," Shuri said. She then looked at Koneko and Ophis. "But from the looks of it, someone prefers to wait for your cooking".
Koneko felt embarrassed since she realised one of the people Shuri was talking about was her. As for Ophis, she didn't care. She only likes eating Issei and Miki's cooking, except that she would eat anything when it comes to sweets. Also, she would eat any food Issei conjures for her. So, she was willing to wait until the food made by Issei was done.
"Don't mind, Ophis," Issei said. He looked at her, and he patted her head. "Ophis is a picky eater and would only eat food prepared by myself or my mother".
"Oh, my, she has the same name as one of the Dragon Gods," Shuri said. She smiled at Ophis. "Is she your sister?".
"Oh, she's not, but I consider her family," Issei said. Ophis then buried her face in Issei's chest as she sat on his lap. "By the way, she is the Infinite Dragon God".
A loud clang was heard at the dining table. That was Shuri dropping her spoon in shock. She thought she heard wrong. The little girl was the Infinite Dragon God? This must be a joke.
"You're quite funny, Issei," Shuri said. She then giggled in her hand. "I almost believed you".
"It's not a joke," Issei said. He repositioned Ophis as she was slipping off his lap. "Ophis is the Infinite Dragon God. I met her two years ago. She came to my house as she smelt my scent as a Dragon".
"Eh? Hold on, I think I heard wrong," Rias said. She was sure that Issei was meant to be human. "Did you say Dragon? As in Ddraig like Dragon?".
"Yeah, due to circumstances, I'm actually half Dragon," Issei said. He then proceeded to transform his right hand into a Dragon's claw. "See? Pretty cool, right? Even Ddraig was shocked when I became a half Dragon".
Rias was getting more and more surprised by Issei's existence. She would have understood if Issei had transformation magic that temporarily made him into a Dragon, but that was not the case. Issei's hand transition from human to Dragon was natural, not some transformation magic that Youkai used to look human.
A moment later, everyone smelled an amazing fragrance coming from the kitchen. Koneko, Ophis and Raynare became excited as they knew it was Issei's food. Three duplicates of Issei headed their way with a plethora of food. Ophis, Koneko and Raynare were salivating at the excitement of eating Issei's food.
Smelling the fragrance alone has made the other members of the ORC and Shuri hungry. Even after they just ate breakfast. They all held their stomach and salivated at the food coming their way.
