In the middle of the night, Serafall woke up. Why? She was planning to mess with her sister, Sona. You see, Serafall convinced her to stay over at Issei's house. So, she thought, why not mess with her sister? So, she did.

Before everyone went to bed, Issei increased the size of Raynare's room as this would be the room every guest would use to sleep. Issei also made multiple beds, one for each guest. As for Issei, he was sleeping in the same bed as Raynare. So, Serafall went and nudged her awake.

"Ray!" Serafall whispered. She was shaking Raynare. "Wake up!".

"Hmm…Sera?" Raynare said. She was a bit groggy since she was woken up in the middle of the night. "Why are you waking me up? It's the middle of the night".

"I wanted to play a little trick on Sona," Serafall said. This woke up Raynare. "Remember the story of her dream? I was thinking of changing your place with her beside Issei".

"Oh? That would be hilarious when she wakes up," Raynare said. She's been influenced by Miki's mischievous side. "I'm in".

Serafall and Raynare picked up Sona and placed her beside Issei. Serafall being Serafall, took a bunch of pictures of her hugging Issei. It was super cute!

The following morning, Sona woke up and saw she was sleeping beside Issei. Dream. It has to be. Sona didn't sleep beside Issei. That was Raynare. So, it has to be another one of her dreams, but this one seems lucid.

Looking at Issei's sleeping face, Sona found him ruggedly handsome. She couldn't help it; she leaned in and kissed Issei. Nothing was wrong here. It's just a dream. It felt nice. Issei's lips were soft. So, she went in for another kiss. Issei started to wake up the moment she did and thought Raynare was kissing him. Hence, he leaned in to give a deeper, more passionate kiss.

While kissing 'Raynare', Issei felt that it was different. The tongue he felt in his mouth felt different, smaller. Issei immediately woke up and saw it was Sona that he was kissing.

"Sona!" Issei shouted. He jumped out of bed. "Why are you on my bed?!".

"I-I…I-I…Oh, no! This isn't a dream!" Sona said. She then saw a flash. Serafall was taking a picture of her. "Onee-sama! Y-You did this, didn't you?!".

"Of course I did!" Serafall said. She didn't even deny it. "So? How were Issei's lips? Was it soft? What did it taste like?".

"Ahhhhh!" Sona said. She was so embarrassed that she ran out of the room. "I can't believe I kissed him!".

"Ah! Sona, wait!" Serafall said. She chased after her sister. "Tell me the details first before you leave! I want to know if it was different from the kiss I gave him!".

Issei then looked at Raynare, who was also taking pictures, and asked what was happening.

"What the hell was that all about?" Issei asked. He looked at Raynare, who was looking away and whistling. "Raynare? What the hell is going on?".

"Well…The other night, Sona told us that she had sexy dreams about you," Raynare said. She was still avoiding Issei's eyes. "Well, in the middle of the night, Serafall woke me up and said she wanted to play a prank on Sona. We only expected her to freak out when she woke up. But I guest Sona thought it was a dream and kissed you".

"You…" Issei sighed. He can't believe it. "You're getting more and more influenced by my mother".

"He-he-he-he!" Raynare laughed. Miki was a remarkable woman. She was a great cook, a great mother, and quite the mischievous woman if she wanted to be. "Well, she is a wonderful woman, after all".

Issei rolled his eyes. Yeah, his mother is, but did she have to take in her mischievous side?

The duo then headed downstairs, where Miki was already making breakfast, and Serafall was on the couch messing with her sister, Sona. Irina and Xenovia were there as well. Irina was no longer in the same state as the other night, and that's good. As for Xenovia, she was packing the fused Excalibur into a case. She was planning to send it back to the Church.

As for Akeno, Koneko, and Asia, they were still asleep. Today is a Saturday, after all. So, sleeping in was expected.

"Oh? Issei, you're awake," Miki said. She then gestured to the table. "Come, sit, and have breakfast. You have plans today, right?".

"Yeah, Serafall and I are going to a convention," Issei said. He took his seat and waited for the food. It didn't take long before his mother placed food on his plate. "So, we might return in the evening".

"Convention?" Irina asked. She was curious what it was going to be on. "What for?".

"It's a magical girl convention," Issei said. Irina was dumbfounded. "It's something we both like. And it was the reason we met".

"That's a thing?" Xenovia said. She's never heard of it before. "Can I join you?".

"You can go to the convention with other who wants to come, but I'm going there with Serafall, just the two of us," Issei said. Too bad his eyes were on his food. Otherwise, he would have seen Irina's jealousy. Now that she was no longer in the Church, she was planning to pursue the one thing she's always wanted, Issei. "This is a date, after all".

"Eh? Aren't you dating Raynare?" Xenovia said. She remembered Issei telling her that he was already dating someone. "Are you cheating on your girlfriend?".

"Cheating? You do know that Raynare is sitting beside me, right?" Issei said. What kind of guy who cheats tells his plan of going on a date with someone else when his girlfriend is beside him? "No, it's not cheating. Somehow, I was brought into this harem plans, though I don't think I mind it as much as I did a few days ago".

"Oh! This is quite interesting!" Xenovia said. There was something that she's always wanted. "I've always wondered what it'd be like to have a baby.

Who better to do it with than someone as powerful as you, Hyoudou Issei? So, until I've done just that, I'll be staying in Kuoh, somewhere near you. After all, you said you're okay with a harem, right?".

This made Issei's eyes twitch. Huh? Why him, of all people? If she wanted to do it with someone strong, there's Vali. Why him?

"Sorry, Xenovia, but that's never going to happen," Issei said. He wasn't some guy that would have sex with anyone willing. "I'm not going to have sex with someone I have no feelings for or someone who has no feelings for me. That's just not who I am".

"Oh! So, if you and I had mutual feelings, you don't mind doing it with me?" Xenovia asked. Issei nodded at her. "Okay, good! I thought you didn't find me desirable. I am quite brutish, after all".

"Nuh! You're great!" Issei said. He has recently realised that he was into girls that can crush skulls or kick someone's head clean off the body. What he liked were powerful legs and thighs. "Last night, the fight with Kokabiel. When Raynare fought him, I thought, 'Damn! I want to be squeezed by those thighs!', then there were her long legs. It was sexy as hell!".

Eh? Issei saw everyone looking at him. Did he say that out loud?

"Uhm…Did I say that out loud?" Issei asked. He gulped. Issei was so embarrassed when he saw everyone nod their head. "Ahem! Like I said, You're fine, Xenovia".

"Clearly! At least to you!" Xenovia said. She was smiling. Xenovia never thought that someone as tomboyish as her would interest someone. "I'm definitely not going to let you go!".

Issei facepalmed. What has he done? He was planning to stir Xenovia away, not ensnare her!

Irina watched the entire interaction between Issei and Xenovia. She was jealous of how Xenovia was able to show her interest in Issei. Irina balled up her finger into a fist and was determined to pursue her interest in Issei.

A few minutes later, Koneko woke up and went downstairs. She smelled the food and saw Issei. So, she sat on his lap, and Issei instinctively started feeding her. Irina saw this and nearly bent her spoon. She was jealous. Irina wanted to be treated nicely too!

After eating, Issei headed to the shower. He nearly forgot to spin today's Gacha because Sona kissed him earlier. So, he did it while in the shower.

[Gacha is now rolling]
