A week after the Rating Game, Issei's life has gone back to normal. Well, normal for him and his family. At the moment, Issei was waiting for Asia to get changed to her school uniform as it would be her first day at school. But Asia was so nervous that she struggled to change into her uniform. So, Raynare helped her calm down and change to her uniform.
After a while, Asia went out of the house and saw Issei waiting for her. Issei patted the back seating area of V-Max, and Asia got on. This would also be the first time Asia got to ride on V-Max. When they got going, Asia held Issei tightly as she was afraid of falling off. Issei even had to drive slowly as he didn't wasn't to scare Asia more than she already was.
When they arrived at Kuoh, people were looking at Issei and Asia. This is an everyday occurrence for Issei but not for Asia. Sure, Asia would get attention back in the church, but they were there for healing, not for any other reason.
Since it was Asia's first day at school, Issei didn't know which class she would be assigned. So, he sent her to the teacher's office to get her timetable and introduce her to her classroom.
Inside Issei's classroom, the teacher entered and asked everyone to sit down and be quiet. The teacher then told everyone that they had a new student joining them. The guys were excited and hoped it was a girl. As for the girls, they were hoping for handsome men like Kiba and Issei.
When Asia heard the teacher tell her to enter, she did. This excited all the guys as a girl was joining their class.
"My name is Asia Argento," Asia said. She bowed her head as she introduced herself. "I'm sure there is a lot I'm unfamiliar with, but I offer my regards".
All the boys roared in excitement.
"She's a blond beauty!" Matsuda shouted.
"Bust 82cm, waist 55cm, hips 81cm! Good!" Motohama announced to everyone.
"I'm currently leaving at the Hyoudou Issei's home," Asia said. She was smiling the whole time as she finally got to be like a normal person. "So, if you need anything from me when I'm not around, you can contact Issei, and he would be able to relay it to me".
"What?!" All the boys shouted and stared at Issei with evil eyes. On the other hand, Issei just yawned at their intimidating look as he saw them as nothing more than a puppy, a very ugly puppy. Motohama then spoke. "What's going on?! How are you and that blond beauty living under the same roof?!".
"How is it you've been triggering all the right flags?!" Matsuda said. He then looked at Issei with tears. "First, you get to spend time with the ORC members such as Akeno and Koneko. Now, you have a blond beauty living in your house! Is she your girlfriend?!".
"Uhm… I'm not Issei's girlfriend," Asia said. She was blushing when Matsuda mistook her for Issei's girlfriend. "Issei's girlfriend is Raynare. She lives with us in his house".
"How?! You already have a girlfriend, and you've never introduced us!" Motohama said. Issei had one of his eyebrows raised. "Right…Good call. Still! You get to enjoy your girlfriend every day while we do it with Mr Right Hand!".
Upon hearing Motohama say Issei enjoyed his time with his girlfriend, Asia blushed so hard that she nearly fainted. Once more, she was reminded of the night she heard Issei and Raynare doing it and imagined her in Raynare's place.
While Issei was dealing with the pesky guys in class, Asia was having fun conversing with the other girls in class. Aika even approached her. Issei facepalmed as she heard Aika ask Asia if she ever saw Issei's junk. Asia hasn't, but she has tried imagining it once or twice…well, countless times.
"Asia, your hair is so pretty," Katase said. "I'm quite jealous of it".
"Yeah, and the guys in class are enchanted by it, too," Aika said. She was in a teasing mood. So, she had Asia as a target. "So, Asia, have you ever seen Issei naked?".
All the girls around Asia who heard Aika's question had their ears propped up to hear Asia's response.
"Uhm…not completely naked," Asia said. She saw Issei get out of the shower with only a towel around his lower half. "But it was by accident. I didn't know he just finished showering".
"So, tell us the details," Murayama said. She fancied Issei for a while now, but she never got the courage to act upon it. But now it was too late as he already had a girlfriend. However, that doesn't mean she isn't interested in him anymore. "What's his body like? Are his abs as toned as I think it is? Or does he have a bit of a belly but doesn't show when he's dressed?".
"Uhm… he's very toned," Asia said. She was blushing hard at the memory of seeing Issei half-naked. "I remember his abs looked sculpted. I wanted to touch it when I saw it…".
"Ooooooh!" Aika said. She has a smirk on her face. "It's too bad you've never seen Issei fully naked. I wanted to ask you if you know what his junk looked like. My size scouter isn't giving me feedback when I look at it".
"Size Scouter…?" Asia asked. She's never heard of it before. "What's that?".
"It's my special ability to see men's sizes," Aika said. She was proud of her size scouter. "However, whenever I use it on Issei, it never works. Not in the sense that it gives me the wrong size, but it never gives me any response! It's infuriating to know that my size scouter doesn't work on someone!".
"S-Sorry, I couldn't help," Asia said. She liked helping people. So, when she couldn't help Aika, she felt terrible. "I-I'll try and see if I can find out for you".
"No! Don't do that!" Katase shouted. She couldn't believe what Asia was saying. "That's illegal! Don't go peeping on someone. I don't want you to become like the Perverted Duo!".
At the end of the day, Asia was going around to different clubs to have a look and see if she was willing to join any of them. While that was happening, Issei headed to the ORC to kill some time. You see, Issei's employment with Rias was over.
The training of Kiba and Akeno was only to last for a month. That's already passed. However, Rias said that he was welcome to come to the ORC at any time. So, now that he needed to kill some time until Asia was done surveying the clubs, he headed to the ORC.
When he got there, Rias and her Peerage were discussing the number of contracts they could fulfil.
"This month's contract numbers are, Akeno 11, Koneko 10, and Kiba 8," Rias said. She was proud of her Peerage, being able to complete high numbers of contracts. "Well done, all of you. Please, continue working hard".
"Too bad I wasn't in the double-digit like Akeno and Koneko," Kiba said. He sighed. "I would have gotten 10 if it wasn't for two weird requests. One wanted me to summon a Cthulhu like creature. The other wanted me to turn him into a magical girl".
"Huh? Hold on," Issei said. That sounded familiar to him. "Is the person that summoned you to turn them into a magical girl named Mil-tan? Or at least go by that name?".
"Yeah…" Kiba answered. "How did you know?".
"Because I know him," Issei said. He sighed. Mil-tan was a mutual friend of his and Serafall. "Serafall and I are friends with him. We met him at a magical girl convention. Which reminds me, I have plans for this Saturday, a convention would be in town, and Serafall invited me".
"Leviathan-sama has invited you?" Akeno said. She then remembered that Issei had told everyone that he was in contact with Serafall. "Oh, my! Is it a date? That's quite scandalous, knowing that you already have a girlfriend. Though, I don't mind being your mistress as well".
"It's not a date. We're just spending time together," Issei said. He then rolled his eyes at Akeno. "We're just going to go around having fun, taking pictures, getting lunch. All in all, spend a day of being together…T-This-This is totally a date, isn't it?!".
"From what you described? Yeah, it is," Rias said. This was the first time she had seen Issei act like this. She found it cute. "Maybe you weren't told that she has invited other friends as well?".
"No, Sera said that it would be a for just the two of us," Issei said. He sighed. How could he not realise it sooner? "I will have to tell her that I already have a girlfriend".
"Hmm…You know, it's not uncommon for a person as powerful as you to have multiple spouses," Rias said. She then took a sip of her tea, made by Akeno. "Especially since you're a male half-dragon. Believe me, you'll be attracting many women. Maybe, you've even attracted quite a few in recent years or recent months".
"Oh, he's certainly attracted me," Akeno said. She then gave a giggle in Issei's direction. She licked her lips. "Like I said, I don't mind being your mistress, Issei".
Issei rolled his eyes at her. He didn't believe Akeno was actually interested in him. To Issei, Akeno was just being playful. Oh, how wrong he was. Ever since she spent time with Issei, her affection for him grew.
Sure, Akeno's affection all started because he was the boy that tried to help her years ago, but recently, her feelings for him have grown deeper the more she got to know him. And that was significantly amplified when he brought Shuri back to life. Let him go? Not a chance! She would fight tooth and nail to be with him. Besides, she and Raynare spoke about it when they were training together.
Elsewhere, two church representatives were lurking around the old, abandoned church that Raynare and her cohorts used to occupy.
"This place is in ruins," the first person said. "Are you sure we're in the right place?".
"I heard there was a disturbance here recently caused by the Fallen Angels," the second person said. The person looked around the dusty and mouldy church. "Probably a falling out".
"It's getting late," the first person said. Taking off the hood, we see that it was a girl. "Are you sure we're supposed to be meeting here?".
"There's no way I'd be wrong," the Second person said. Taking off the hood as well, we see it was another girl. "I spent time here with my parent as a child".
The second person then showed a picture of her with another child. It was Issei. This was the childhood friend of Issei, Shidou Irina. And the person with her was Xenovia Quarta.
Not far from the church duo were Mittelt and Kalawarna. They returned to Kuoh town searching for Azazel as they were tasked to find him by Shemhazai. At the same time, they were to locate Kokabiel and inform them of his objective in Kuoh.
