Now on to the chapter O_O)
Chapter 3: D(ate)-Day
Originally, my plan was to coast my way through by using my anonymity, crash into the Tepes stronghold and nab Valerie in a disguise in the literal shadow of the day and bail the fuck out by hiding back in my apartment for her to properly train underneath its defenses and fucking gank Rizevim by letting out a decent counterfeit of her powahs signature where he can't disturb anyone and where I can bury him six feet under the ground, in grounded burnt paste just to be sure!
Oh, I would still be intervening on canon events by using my true identity. But it would have been a free coasting life for me, only intervening on things where the main cast needs the additional wild oomph of yours truly. Then naturally, even in animeland real life comes in, says high and beat up my ass.
. . . then again, experiencing the shenanigans AND chaos that would build a franchise would be something animeland would want from me. I just did not expect–
Friday and Saturday swiftly came and left with no fanfare as the world seemed to hold its breath at what is going to occur on Sunday. 'Amano Yuuma' have already approached Ise about the date on Sunday during Friday, she's decent enough to had pulled that stuff up this time on one of those skybridges Kuoh have like in canon, granted, she did not expect that the listless normal security guard who had been walking underneath the bridge while doing another part-time job to overheard the whole conversation amidst the traffic and noise. Though Sunday. . . heh, one of the few things I learnt personally in this world is how predictable Fallens are with their irony either by on purpose or. . . by going through the motions.
Still. . . I still need to go through with my plans, and well I want to stretch my legs and have fun today for a change! My 'allies' on the other hand. . .
"Remember, no lewds."
"Is this what the Americans say about something that have the word profiling? Why do I have to wear a wig!"
"I think replacing my glasses and changing my hairstyle is an extremely paper-thin disguise aneki!"
I facepalmed at the two literally squirming and looking at what their wearing with the usual flare. . . in the middle of the street and thus ruining the concept of blending in the crowd. Matsuda as he succinctly said, is wearing a ginger red wig styled and held additionally by a black bandana, his civie attire is just the usual set of an open shirt with a red handkerchief on the shirt's pocket with a vest combo with the long pants and slippers style. Motohama on the other hand have his hair slicked back and with how he let his hair grow a bit long, is currently tied on a simple ponytail, sharp thin librarian glasses replaced his round geeky one by yours truly, a black headset slung on his neck and with a simple grey hoodie, a short and a pair of sneakers as his attire.
Naturally, I damn slapped posture correcting bracers on the two underneath those clothes given they tend to slouch when they go on their horni tangents, especially in looking at a 'paradise' from afar. Hmmm? Now that I look at the two, aren't they fairly good-looking idiots if they wear and act properly? Given the stares of the few lassies around, I think I'm correct on that part.
Even if their personalities might be a turn off on majority of 'em. . . though gap moe is a thing and DxD Japan is weird enough to have such 'gap' as an endearing trait. Me? I just used the most natural camouflage, I literally took a massive chunk out of my magical energy yesterday, and slapped in a Mystic Code with only the purpose of taking out the magical energy that my upkeep fills my tank up so I looked way more naturally tired than the usual being done by everything, slap in a black wig and some grey bland clothes, add in my scowl and bam!
Perfect disguise! Still, looking at the stupid mugs of the two who seems to not know what espionage is supposed to be when they literally brought up the idea of bringing trench coats, masks and baseball caps before I shot them down, I really need to ask. . .
"Why 'aneki'?" I said to the two idiots, giving them a stare that promised thousands of different forms of pain.
"W-well, the last few times were just slips of our tongue and our jaws still hurt when," Matsuda said, scratching his fake hair in embarrassment, looking away from my gaze. "Then we both realized you tend to act like big sis and even outright act as her extension so we decided tomakeitapermanentbasis. . ."
I raised a finger and a retort as my mouth opened, then dropped it and shut my trap up. Little shits. . . I nearly slugged the two idiots when I felt the signs of a nearby teleportation occured and the tell of that annoying type of magic briefly casted.
"Shut it you two, she's here!" I hissed at the two idiots giggling at how my pissed off face making them act as I drilled it to them thoroughly yesterday, and by act as planned Matsuda is talking some inane mundane things while Motohama is looking at an mp3 he pulled out from his hoodie's pocket and started tapping at the buttons. In the edge of my vision, I glanced at the reflection of a glass window as 'Amano Yuuma' runs to the waiting Hyoudou Issei who had just been given that devil pamphlet thing from Rias Gremory's familiar.
"Remember about the plan, Plan K!"
"Plan Kay. . ." The nerd started muttering and seems to reviewing every step of the plan.
"Yosha!" Baldy just used guts to power through regardless!
Hyoudou Issei
'Keuh! A date! A date with Yuuma-chan! Ah. . . she looks beautiful in those clothes of hers! And those oppais!' he managed to get a glimpse of those beautiful bouncing twin mountains as Yuuma-chan pointed at entering one of the nearby shops, just like what aniki told him!
Then everything suddenly spiraled out of control.
SI!Arthur
"A-amazing!" Matsuda openly gaped at the sight while Motohama is rubbing his nose in smug glee at the glorious sight they are looking at. People, people are overcrowding the clothing shop as they flooded in the men's clothing store after Ise and his 'beu' entered as they got dragged inside by the human flood. A tear nearly came out of me when Raynare's face twisted in a furious rictus rage as she gets shielded by Ise as the flood of people pushed them inside the shop.
"How!?" The baldy exclaimed to us.
"Heh! As much as I'd say it was only me who made such a sight happen, aneki also contributed for this situation to happen!" The nerd smugly said while fixing his glasses up, after I slugged the bastard for using that word again. Baldy looked at me and I shrugged while the nerd continued on. "I managed to start a treasure hunt at this specific time at the location and the owner was gleeful enough for the fee of buying an article of clothing as a fee to participate, I 'donated' some things as consolation prize and Andrew-sama provided with the mysterious first prize that clinched the negotiation!"
"Which is a mystery box that may or may not contain the long lost legendary fresh panty of a certain legendary idol that got stolen by that panty thief in Tokyo a few months ago." I commented while thinking of the few 'active' Evil Pieces I hid in that shop to deter Raynare from doing a mass hypnosis while I held the baldy in a chokehold quickly when he almost bursted inside the shop to follow the perverts while I hissed the next few words in his ears. "Idiot, that's just a rumor I spread around, it's just a small stack of those limited-edition porn mag things inside of the box!"
I already returned that panty when I managed to lariat the fucking pervert away anyways, not my fault that her manager thought it was a great idea to let the rumor it was still missing for sensationalism! I kicked Motohama in the nuts who almost ran inside when he heard what I said while the fucking baldy literally seemed to gain a second wind as he tried to trash away from my hold. I dragged the two in a nearby stairs for one of the two stories building on the block and proceeded to climb it, might as well to get clear out of the street, before the next part of the plan happens.
Might as well look if the old man has some of those pancakes of his, I'm starving.
Hyoudou Issei
"Are you ok Yuuma-chan?" He held the pale and sweating girlfriend of his as they managed to get out of the clothing shop. He heard about something like legendary panties but his urges were held back by the responsibility aniki drilled to him as Yuuma-chan is more important right now.
"I-I'm fine Issei-kun." Yuuma-chan replied as she heaved and breathed hard. T-those oppais moving in such bountiful motions felt like ambrosia to his heart even if he abandoned his duty as a pervert to get whatever legendary panty those men are talking about.
"Ok, I think we should go first to a café to relax after what just happened, right?" The gentle nod made him happy at the right choice of words he had as the empty open street greeted us fully. Huh?
"Ou!" "Ou!" "Ou!" "Ou!"
"A festival?" He muttered in confusion.
"A-azazel-sama!?" Huh? What did Yuuma-chan said?
SI!Arthur
I nearly spit out the drink that I was drinking and drop my ass off the chair I am crouching on from what I am seeing right now while looking out of the window at the laughing masked pervert wearing only a loincloth and chalice in hand while leaning his back in a gilded throne built underneath a giant stone penis pointed infront while being carried by masked and loinclothed wearing naked men cheerfully shouting. I know that fucking guy!
What the hell is Azazel doing here!? I thought he should be in Tokyo right now!? I saw him lean on the side as he seemed to had noticed the two as the procession got closer, he talked with them briefly while I was still too shocked to eavesdrop as the procession continued on while leaving two people in a stuttering mess while his laugh increased a few octaves.
I dialed a number quickly. The guy on the other end picked it up.
"Oh! Shadow Pre–" "None of that now President Fujikawa," I said while the two who have woken up a few moments ago and looking at the parade in awe swiveled their heads to me. "I thought Azazel-san is in Tokyo right now for a business trip to be a bit busy to come to Kuoh?"
"Ah, are you looking at the procession right now?" The President of the De Bauch Cherry Gentlemen Club answered amidst the noisy background noise, my sharp eyes managed to saw the fucker standing behind the giant penis and the throned guy being carried by members of the club and now probably going to be a cult. Also, he's naked with only a loincloth to hide his precious bits. "Well, you see, when Azazel-san heard of the change of schedule, he canceled his business on Tokyo and rushed here to Kuoh to participate on the contest."
"And why was I not informed when I had asked you to let me know when people like him suddenly arrives?" I rubbed my eyebrows as I observed the giant penis that is currently releasing a unique energy signature that is flowing slowly to Azazel's pelvis, the man outright bit back an obvious moan as a sudden spike of it happened. I 'donated' that damn thing I dug out of a hidden dilapidated shrine when I was in Kyushu of all places when I first arrived in this world in the idea of having an in on one of the sexual-centered clubs in Kuoh after I analyzed it and learnt of its 'properties' so I would get highly valid news when superpowered perverts are around. Helped me manage to dodge Odin once when he was running around on one of his infamous disguises, granted he have that poor bodyguard of his on the town for me to fully verify he's around.
"It was a last-minute change and I was going to tell you after the first pass around the town." The man replied. I sighed and, in a way, accepted the man's excuse, probably my bias of him naming his soon to be born first child with my name as a reference. Talking briefly some platitudes, I ended the call, only for the two idiots to get their face shoved a bit too close to mine.
"I thought you were just joking aniki-sama that you could change the Virility Festival's schedule!?"
"But for you to actually do it AND have the personal number of THE President Fujiwara even! As expected of the High Spec Gaijin Banjiya! Your connections are amazingly deep!" My eyebrow twitched at that nickname.
"Yeah, yeah Shinpachi, now get your faces off of mine or I'm going to fucking throw you two out of the window!" I roared at the two idiots who scrammed away quickly.
"Its Shuupachi you heretic. . ." Fucking nerd had the gall to mutter petulantly. Sighing at the insanity my probable twisted karma is probably retaliating on me, I proceeded on phase two of the plan that the two don't know about and pulled out a dog whistle that the two perverts seemingly instinctively froze and paled at the sheer 'malevolence' of it.
I proceeded to blow the whistle.
Hyoudou Issei
Being one of the few infamous perverts in town have its few ups and down. Well, majority are downs, you have few friends, you have few allies, and most definitely, you are an enemy of the hunt. Honed instincts suddenly heightened as a chill crawled up his spine making him look around in worry.
"Issei-kun?" Yuuma-chan's soft voice did not lessen his worry as he know something is coming in the back of his mind. Her hands that had been wrapped in one of his and her oppais just barely close suddenly froze. He looked at her face frozen in rictus shock, he followed where she is looking at, the direction where the parade came from and he paled at the dust getting kicked off by a lot of things running to their direction.
He paled. Then he proceeded to princess carry Yuuma-chan and screamed to high heavens while running away yet still looking at the growing dust cloud.
"IT'S THE WILD HUNT!"
The people that were coming in and out of the clothing shop they were in suddenly froze at his words, looked at were he was pointing at, visibly paled and proceeded to scatter like flies.
"IT'S THE WILD HUNT!"
"WHAT!? NOOO!"
"MOMMY!"
"I STILL DID NOT FIND THE PANTY!"
"LEAVE IT, GETTING CAUGHT BY THE HUNT IS A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH!"
"AAAAAAH!"
[h. t. t. p. s. : / / i . postimg . cc / MZnJ2zCB / blob . jpg]
"BARK!"
'OH GOD, I DID NOTHING TOO PERVERTED TODAY, WHY!' He screamed in his mind while carrying Yuuma-chan away from the hunt.
SI!Arthur
Either due to my duty as a knight, or the spite of a heavily wronged man, I had added things in the board that is Kuoh Town over the past few months since I arrived in this world. One of my recent ones, from the last big job I had when I was in Shinjuku was probably something I unleashed due to the latter reason.
Caval II. One of the two familiars I have made in this world.
I honestly adopted instantly the stray dog when I saw it suddenly run to me and dogpiled me. It might had been the smell of cheeseburgers, the sheer intelligence the dog have on its eyes, or me without having the problem of asthma that had prevented me before to hug, smell and pamper such furry friends, but the normal human side of me that always wanted to have such close affections to dogs AND saw the insanity that is the Sub-Singularity that happened in Shinjuku was the first one that reared its head before the Arthur side of me who obviously cares on doggos can chime his obvious idea that is in sync of mine.
It was a gamble on turning it into a familiar due to me being an amateur magician of the DxD kind(those equations are going to be the death of me), also an amateur in magecraft matters, my state of being might make me do something wrong in the process and the world's rules of reality that I don't know of might screw me over. Naturally, I did such things with Caval II's consent of course. Having animeland animal intelligence makes Caval II basically a pokemon on how smart he is so communication was actually a bit easy after learning his cues.
Then again, somehow after interacting, training and the probable unspeakable procedures(like that one time a chunk of meat from a giant rabid doggo was involved that I fought and fed to him) I have done to make a super doggo that could probably punt a High-Class Devil casually without his appearance somehow not changing or release some super speshul light show. His intelligence had also gone up to human intelligence and probably up down the line. I'm just glad he seemed to have related and picked more things from the Arthur side of me so he turned out to be a chivalrous doggo vassal of mine hellbent on truth, love, justice and American freedom(*eagle screech*).
I still wonder how the fuck he managed to rope up all the strays on Kuoh to be the undisputed king of them though. Then they had proceeded to literally attack any deviants in their path when I looked away once in their 'patrols', punish them while leaving them in an inch of their life and somehow get away from the dog pound, or the local devils. Given I think Caval II's supernatural thingy quirk is slowly getting shared amongst his fellows, I don't know.
. . . Not my problem for sure. Especially when he and his mates clean the streets off from scums and villains in my opinion.
"Now, then seems we lost Issei and that girl," I faux prayed on the two's 'lives' as I stood up and dropped off the chair I was standing, smiled, and looked imperiously at the two idiots literally sweating buckets while in a perfect tower dogeza. "Now then, let's go?"
The two vehemently shook their heads. I raised an eyebrow. "What's the deal? I think we need to continue with our plan, no?"
"N-no, aniki, no ANDREW-SAMA! I-I think the things that already happened to Issei's d-date is already enough!" Matsuda is outright crying, shivering and with snot flowing out of his mouth, and if my nose is correct, pissed himself. His gaze looking at the dog whistle in outright terror just made my twisted black heart savor their expressions, feelings and outright repentance that is wafting off them.
I grinned. Motohama fainted.
'Good, good you fucking shitstains, one of the things Caval II seems to have gained a hatred on traitorous allies and backstabbers, no matter how small or petty the crime and they seemed to have experienced or saw those things personally.' Good, Plan K(omrade) seems to be a success!
"Ok~!" I faux cheerfully said with a disappointed look at them. "I'm sure you both have your fun already so I think you should go home; I'll follow Issei and see if he manages to do well on his date."
Matsuda nodded while grabbing Motohama's head to copy his action, making the boy wake up from his impromptu visit to Morpheus. Nodding, I falsely started walking away before I paused suddenly making the two gulp their spit.
"By the way. . ." I gently said, before switching to a more serious and threatening tone. "Tomorrow, 4:30 am sharp, in my apartment, sports clothing."
Complaints seemingly and reflexively ready, the duo's traps opened at the same time. I dangled the dog whistle, they closed it.
Nodding, I hollered at the old man who had watched our byplay with an amused smile to thank him for letting us in and those pancakes of his. I'm strangely excited on training the two idiots. If these two can't punch through low-class Stray Devils a month or two later casually after I am thorough with them, I'd be disappointed though. . .
A demented laugh was cut off to only a twisted snicker. . . ah~, I think those two have arrived at that street? I ignored the whimpers behind me as I started tracking down where Caval II herded them.
Hyoudou Issei
"I'm sorry young man, but where out of our desserts," The old man behind the counter bowed his head profusely. A bust huh, this had been the third place they had visited today and all the street stalls seems to had not opened today. "Can you partake instead to our hot meals with your date?"
"A-ah no its fine old man!" He scratched his head in embarrassment, his wallet might become alive and scream in protest if he plans to buy two of their meals in this expensive diner instead of their much cheaper desserts which, now that he thought about it. "He must had come by on this street then old man?"
"I'm afraid so," The old man shook his head in embarrassment at the memory. "The Gourmet Dragon broke the record again, said that he was celebrating his younger brother snagging a fine date."
'Aniki!' He screamed in his mind both on him being happy on the person he is starting to recognize as an older sibling from a different mother AND in mortification for him accidentally screwing him.
"Gourmet Dragon?" Yuuma-chan asked in confusion.
"Are you new around here young lady?" The old man asked. She nodded. Huh, he forgot to ask where she lives now that he thinks about it. . . "He's a local legend around the town, he once won in a food eating tournament around here and he usually comes by randomly to break his own record in various cuisines, either by how exotic they are, or vast amounts of food in one sitting, in, every, store, a block. If the mayor did not give us a stiped, the chefs, pâtissiers and anyone who deal with the kitchen sees him as a challenge and him being a massive tourist magnet, he would have been banned by every diner, restaurants, stalls and cafes in Kuoh."
"Oh. . ." Was only Yuuma-chan's response besides her eyes widening. To be honest, he was more shocked when he heard and saw Aneki demolishing an entire street once on a single day. . . Saying goodbye to the old man who was kind enough to point us this time to an ice cream truck nearby that just had opened for the day and was not yesterday.
They managed to get a few scoops, sat in a nearby stall and started talking about the general. . . insanity of the day while licking the cold treats they have on hand. T-there might had been a single time Yuuma-chan was forward enough to leak a few drops off his cheek. Like all things though, the treats in their hands were eaten and licked thoroughly, laughter and teasing came and passed by and he felt the rope of topics and ideas he has quickly and almost be gone entirely when he noticed a nearby old arcade, and a nostalgic one at that!
"Oh? Let's go to that arcade Yuuma-chan! I know that place, I played there a lot of times with this boy I know before, Irina!"
"I. . .rina?"
? ? ?
"Oh? Aren't those two such a cute couple~?"
"No shit! I mean, look at those tits! Man, that bastard is lucky. . ."
"Yeah, now that you mention it, isn't the guy a bit plain and seems like a pushover?"
"Hmm, hey, now that you mention it, he does look like a wimp, how about we show that girl how real men do things?"
"Hehehe, now isn't that a great idea, I'm starting to get horny after we trashed these self-proclaimed delinquents. We came to this town anyways to bag some ladies and see if the rumors were true anyways."
SI!Arthur
"What do you mean you lost 'em Caval II?" I said to the doggo whining infront of me. He pawed the floor and scratched his nose. I looked around and tried to extend my senses, nada, can't sense a fallen nearby, if I was a Heroic Spirit that had legends that focused on tracking or hunting or an outright dedicated Caster, I might easily track those two in just a jiffy.
No, I do have one, but I can't easily translate hunting down giant fuck off beasts on two human bite sized ones, no matter how much I stretch it, I turned back to the doggo.
"Lemme guess, crow pulled a magical stunt on ya?" Doggo barked and nodded. "See? How many times I told ya to train your magical abilities beyond trying to be a raging storm of nature?"
He whined, his tail lowered literally to the ground, piercing it. Sighing, I started patting his head and tail started making some violent winds with how fast it wags and his tongue lolling out. I poked him between the eye making him crosseyed at the stunt he is trying to pull.
"None of that you big baby, I need to go quickly to look for 'em now so hold the fort would ya? There are a lot of strays, crows and a few jedi rejects out and about these past few days so be careful? And thank you for humoring me," I said to the doggo while hugging him briefly. He barked in affirmation and started to run alongside with his entourage. Shaking my head, I looked up at the sky and realized it is already approaching twilight, time's running out it would seem. . . well, there is one place those two would go.
Their final destination of the day.
The rustling of the nearby trees, beautiful sunset over the horizon casting an amber glow everywhere, and only them in the fountain of the park, a perfect place to end a date, especially with no people around. Amano Yuuma is dragging Hyoudou Issei up in the park seemingly supporting him, must had been when they got chased by Caval II.
Well, besides the hobo sleeping in one of the benches juuust a little bit outside of normal hearing range. There's a fun thing about notice-me-not fields in DxD I learnt when I was running around encountering various supernatural shenanigans. People seems to habitually cast the simpler notice-me-not barriers around, and by simple, those that works only in awake and about people.
And I'm actually sleeping, regardless if its self-induced hypnosis. The reason why I can see them? Its because of my nature as a Psuedo-Servant.
Psuedo-Servants, unlike normal Servants have two Saint Graphs, the literal foundations of a spirit's existence. Me, the human side and the one getting 'possessed', and the Heroic Spirit that is possessing me. And given my situation is a bit similar with a certain Lord El-Melloi II and the Heroic Spirit Kongming that is the human side and the Heroic Spirit maintains a degree of separation, we have a niffy caveat that we can. . . separate so to say.
Naturally, what I'm doing is more of someone's astral body is leaving their physical one slightly. Underneath my sleeping physical body, I am slightly 'poking' out of it while maintaining a semi-spiritual form akin to someone looking out of the window from inside their house(body), just my head, a hand and part of my upper torso is out and about so I technically am leaning out from a 'window' so to say. I looked at where the fountain should be at only for bushes, trees and crap block my spiritual body's normal sight but. . . my two 'eyes' glowed ethereally and the semi-transparancy it looked further blurred more as I leaned more to becoming closer to a spiritual body, my spiritual senses ain't blinded by such things.
["Tthhiiss hhadd bbeeeenn aann iinntteerressttiinngg ddaayy"] I frowned at the dual feedback that my physical body is hearing, and my spiritual one is hearing at the same time. The problem was solved instantly though when I cut off my sense of physical hearing from my physical body through a sleeper cell hypnosis I put in my head.
"Yeah. . . a lot of things have happened today," No shit Issei. "I mean, getting dragged in by tons of people."
"A-and me-meeting my co-cousin. . ." That's how you going to spin it you crazy bitch? I mean, genetically, you and Azzy would be more of something like siblings, if Big G made you lot through some sort of models, technically she'd be right in a way.
"The dogs. . ." Sasuga Caval II!
"Having a hard time getting some cold treats and desserts." Hmm? Did they run away through that street perhaps?
"The delinquents. . ." Huh, did they meet Matsuda's biddies?
"A-are you ok by the way Issei-kun? I saw that big guy slugging you in the face." D-did I just heard actual genuine concern from the crazy bitch?
I mean, I'm pretty sure those are actual concern I'm hearing, and even her spiritual body that I'm looking at is actually having the signs of genuine human concern underneath that chaotic swirl of crap I can't get heads and tails at. Gah! Where is the skill Hawkeye when you need it! I can't see her face in this distance and reinforcing a literal spiritual body is something I never tried practicing on!
"Say Issei-kun." Holy shit, I got too shocked again the second time today that I missed some lines and got lost in my thoughts briefly! Wait, those are the lines! I may have a shitty attention span and problem in retaining some unnecessary memories, but I literally managed to force my brain to remember those lines and the following once when I learnt where am I!
"Do you mind me a favor to commemorate our first date?" There it is! I stretched my spiritual arm out in a finger gun gesture, I know the crazy bitch would do her stupid not!magical girl transformation thingy and gloat, but can't take my chances!
"W-what kind of favor?" Huh, seeing it in my end, its actually pretty sad, I might not be too familiar of Fallen Angel spiritual physiology and it being third place of those I'm familiar with(devils are no. 2 due to my current true bosses. . . and the various devils I kept encountering regardless of strays, reincarnated or full blooded) and thus cannot take cues on their emotions fully besides a certain few that I can discern as truth, but looking at Hyoudou Issei's spiritual body, the boy is actually genuinely in love with the crazy bitch. No wonder he got traumatized badly.
I felt a gaze suddenly, I did not bother looking where it came from while still focusing on the two. I know who and what it was. . . my main insurance policy so to say if I did not spook the crazy bitch when I intervene. I just kept looking at the two as Raynare is already pretty close physically to Issei for my liking, it seems she's going to start now.
"Could you close your eyes?" Wait what?
"Y-yeah?" Yeah, what?
"Just do it." I blinked a few times at the weird tone she has.
"O-ok! Already done Yuuma–chu–!" I can't help but gape. Did t-that!
"C-can we do this again next w-week?" Oh. My. Fucking. God!
"Y-yes! Naturally, Yuuma-chan!" . . .
"Then it's a date 3! Call you later, Issei-kun!" I can't help but blankly stare at the retreating fallen angel who outright bursted off to supernatural speed after she's outside of Issei's view.
". . ." I heard the idiot who would have died here today in another reality breathing heavily. I'm. . . I'm honestly too shocked right now to think how the hell that happened.
"YOSHA! HYOUDOU ISSEI GOT HIS FIRST KISS!" I can see it clearly, the sheer happiness the boy have is way too blinding for my sight as pure wholesome energy is coming out of him and is that desire I'm looking at trying to keep up!?
Red scarlet light blew out from one of his pockets as a parchment flew out of it and froze in midair, bursting out of it a crimson magic circle started to flash itself in the air where it froze. Ise must be a bit too happy and closing his eyes to not care at the lightshow as Rias Gremory manifested and floated down to the ground.
"ONE MORE STEP TO MY HAREM KING DREAM!" Palm, meet face. Even Rias Gremory visibly froze in my sight. I'm honestly starting to feel extremely tired of all this bullshit that my back hurts.
"My, a dream to become a harem king you say?" Yeah, that's an interested emotion alright. You know what, fuck it. I pulled in back to my body fully, stood up and pulled out a lighter from my hammerspace and the document I literally bothered to write when an alive Issei and Rias talked in a table to talk about him getting recruited to her peerage.
And I proceeded to burnt it. I'm out. Things might had gotten way too crazy and I'm honestly confused, shocked and bamboozled so many times today for my liking.
It would have been a literal too few months before it would be a year or so I had been around this world and while it was a fall back plan, the date was too important both to my conscience AND my various plans that I literally stressed myself to near death thinking of a lot of things on what to do before I dumbed it down to few steps and things I needed to avoid on what to do and the sheer possibilities of minor AU shenanigans that I cannot foresee due to not being a member of one of the Three Abrahamic Factions and thus have more inside knowledge and from what I learnt, things are still running as the same as canon besides the deviances I introduced.
Oh, I made sure to verify a lot of things, Freed's still the crazy bitch he is, I'm just glad Caval II is distracting him from going to a killing rampage and the leash he's in. Fuck I made sure that Raynare is one and the same as her counterpart! A bad case of near Cersei Lannister-grade delusional bitch!
Then she pulled that shit up that broke a lot of established things I prepared in the future and brought them into question. True, I am alone in this mission, I'm isolated in Japan due to financial reasons of all things, but given that almost all things in DxD get centered to Japan, I would have thought things would still be the same given the people who have operations here that I saw and heard act and do things the same as their canon counterpart.
I felt Arthur's concern not just to me but to Issei but I brushed it off, honestly, I don't care about anything right now. Issei would leave alive this park safely, I know Rias Gremory enough that she's not those manipulative iterations of her certain fanons portray her as. I don't know if it was the general stress or something else, but I felt almost everything crashing in me as the main lynchpin where canon would kickstart have occurred and passed by. . . in an entirely different result that I would had expected from some AU things with all the justifications and crap I had read years ago.
God. . . the desire to go home and just. . . be done of everything is much stronger right now.
Heh. . . God huh. . .
A/N: I'll be honest, things have gotten way at hand. I literally juggled a lot of possible scenarios where this chapter would end and how far it would go, fuck I even had a scenario where Issei dies due to the stupidity of my MC here!
Then, I got excited when I had added another thing from his past jobs, then I kept piling shit up that somewhere down the line, the result is basically this! 6k words!
Christ, anyways thanks for all the reviews peeps, it massively helps my writing and to let me know where I did things wrong and crap.
Anyways, fair warning, as I said above, I have not done my usual passes on this chapter so I might had missed some shit up and it might be more painful than usual to read so please bear on me. I'll probably do my usual things after I wake up after I sleep after lurking for a few moments after I posted this.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
Given that I have been referring things from his past few months since his arrival in DxD, I have decided to turn them into Side Stories, Title of the 'collection' so to say is still pending. But given I am more focusing on the Main Story; I'd post one of them or two on the end of an arc. . . After writing them of course.
And given I have problems on what to pick, and I'm not one of those god writers out there that can write a thousand or two words in just an hour, I decided to let you guys pick it and turned it into a bit of a game so to say.
I made a poll and only titles are in it to make it a bit more interesting. As an apology though for the delay that I might had disappointed a few peeps out there, imma give you lot a single hint that may be biased, but a hint still the same. First Vassal is meeting doggo and 'training' side story is the premise.
Lastly, to those who want to still vote, here's the link:
LINK: h. t. t. p. s. : / / /. /. strawpolls /kjn1jk2j7gQ
Just erase the period, add a period and then Charlie, Omega and Mike next to the strawpolls and erase the spaces also.
Also no cheating please peeps. I'd literally throw the poll out of the table if I get a wiff of someone cheating and just roll a dice for it.
Though if people could predict what's the exact meaning of Plan M the word/s the 'M' is part of, another one would be revealed on the premise of the side story and be rolled through a dice.
All the hint I can give ya'll is that. His plan titles only reach two words. He loves to use references and would be something obscure enough in DxD where shitty rip-offs are a thing about modern media and only mundane people bother about the old classics given its 2008 where memes are not a massive hit yet and thus weird stupid historical trivias or outright human insanity when people's minds and weird tangents are thrown together into a blender and spills out whatever slurry comes out of it.
"Makes you sound super smart." – Mobius to Loki
Also, he's a bit of Loki there in the idea as the quote above that he thinks it makes him smart for being a shitposter when no one sometimes gets his references while giggling in his sleep like the demented wombat he is.
Anyways cheers! And as always be frank on your reviews! It sustains me and my muse!
