"Could you please go out with me?"
That very question had been asked to a brown-haired young man known as Issei Hyoudou by a girl with black hair and violet eyes wearing a short black dress and light purple jacket.
"Um... sure, I suppose? Who are you anyway?" Issei answered cautiously.
"Yuuma Amano. I'll see you on Sunday, Issei-san." the girl spoke before leaving.
Issei then felt a headache come to him that lasted for a few minutes. After it subsided, something clicked on inside of him as he thought, 'What the hell just happened!?'
[... testing, testing, one two... Is this damn thing even working!?] a draconic voice rang through his head.
'Ddraig! I was wondering if we would ever encounter each other again after that damned bastard Doctor Nefarious pulled a fast one on us and turned my harem to cold lifeless stone with that Rockulator of his and shattered their petrified forms before he did it to me as well! I really want to rip him a new one!' Issei thought.
[Calmly does it, partner. From what I can guess, we got sent backwards in time to your high school years. Doctor Nefarious attacked during your final year in college, so we got sent back like five years. He doesn't know that we can now prepare for his arrival.]
'You are correct about that, but this is a very different timeline from what we're from.' Issei thought before he began to head home for the night.
The next day was a Saturday, so Issei went to school after he woke up, got himself dressed in the male uniform which was a black blazer with white accents over a white, long-sleeved, button-down shirt with vertical linings, a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes, and had breakfast before leaving home. Just about a few feet from the gates, he saw three girls approach him. One of them had brown hair styled in pigtails, another girl had short pink hair, the third one had long dark brown hair that was almost black, and all three of them were wearing the female uniform, which consisted of a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt with vertical linings, a black ribbon on the collar, a black shoulder cape and matching button-down corset, and a magenta miniskirt with white accents.
'It seems that no matter how different the timeline is, the skirts on the female uniform of Kuoh Academy's high school division are always the same short length.' Issei thought to himself as the pink-haired girl glomped him and sent him to the ground.
"Issei-kun!" the girl exclaimed on top of him.
"Good morning, Issei-kun!" the girl who had her hair in pigtails greeted.
"Morning, Murayama-chan and Katase-chan. I think this is a first for me, getting glomped by Katase-chan." Issei replied after giving a slight chuckle.
"Oh what the hell is going on here, Katase-san?" a fourth girl asked.
Everyone turned their attention to see a girl with shoulder length blonde hair and gold eyes who was also wearing the female uniform.
"Relax, Makoto-chan. Katase-san just decided to glomp Issei-kun here." the third girl spoke.
"Issei is a kind person, but unless you truly know him, you wouldn't know that he is a perv, Mako-chan. Mei-chan knows it really well." Katase stated.
"True, but he is at least controlling it. Issei used to get nosebleeds when Katase and I flipped our skirts up to show him our panties when we first met him in Middle School along with those two idiots Sanada Hideki and Takei Hiroyuki, Sugiyama-san. There were two other morons, Matsuda Goro and Motohama Yamada, but they transferred to another middle school for their third year." Murayama added.
"Could the lot of you at least tone down the PDA?" Mako asked.
Katase reluctantly got off of Issei and helped him up, but then a strong breeze swept by that lifted the skirts of the girls. Issei forced himself to look away, but he did notice the spats that Mei wore underneath her uniform. The warning bell then proceeded to ring, prompting Issei to say, "We should probably get to class now." before he began to walk to class. When it got started, the History teacher spoke, "Alright, we have some ancient stuff to talk about today. We will specifically go over the Jomon period of Japan. Say... Hyoudou-kun, what was the style of houses in the Jomon period called?"
Issei knew the answer and said on autopilot, "Mud huts."
"That's correct! Mud huts were built by digging a hole in the ground and supporting the roof. Say, Sugiyama-kun, would you happen to know what religion the Japanese followed during the Jomon period?"
Makoto thought for a few moments before answering, "I am not 100% sure about this, but they were likely animists or shamanists."
The rest of the class was forgettable, but it got more interesting during lunch. After everyone wolfed down their bentos on the roof, Mei glomped Issei and then said, "Did you think that you would escape from getting glomped by me?"
"No, you got me there Mei. That being said though, I do have some news to share." Issei replied.
"Hoo boy, this could be an upset Izumi." Hinata Murayama remarked.
"Yeah, it likely is." Izumi Katase added.
"I was asked out yesterday by a black-haired girl who called herself 'Yuuma Amano', but something is not exactly thrilling me about her. She showed up to me out of nowhere, so at the very least she has an ulterior motive for asking me out." Issei stated.
Katase proceeded to twirl around, causing her skirt to fly up and reveal that she was wearing a pair of blue and white striped panties. Issei blushed from seeing that and then Katase spoke, "I know that you plan on having a harem, Issei-kun, but at least let Mei shadow you in case this Amano Yuuma has hostile intentions. I wouldn't want you to die and then not be able to experience that."
Issei thought for a few moments and then replied, "Alright then, you win."
On Sunday, Issei got himself dressed and made himself toast for breakfast before heading out to the spot where he first met Yuuma. At around 08:15, a girl with brown hair kept in long twin ponytails wearing a white shirt and green shorts along with striped green stockings walked by and gave Issei a flyer that had the words, "Your Wish will come true" written on it. About half an hour later, Yuuma arrived. As he paid attention to Yuuma, Issei noticed Mei concealing herself nearby in a manner that was subtle to anyone that was not him.
Issei and Yuuma first visited a clothes shop where a lovely pink bracelet was found that Issei bought. After that, they went to a home decoration store but they left after fifteen minutes of browsing without buying anything before going to a local restaurant for lunch. Yuuma got herself a few balls of Onigiri while Issei had a Hamburg Steak. Issei naturally paid for the food along with a parfait for dessert. The two of them were now in the park.
As Yuuma leaned forward and had her hair cover her eyes, Issei noticed a blur of movement in his view before a sharp pain came from his stomach as a blue spear of light came out. Issei looked behind him to see a man wearing a pale gray trench coat over a white dress shirt with a matching ascot, black pants and shoes, a pair of black gloves, and a black fedora. The man then asked in a southern accent, "Would you mind explaining to me why a good Fallen lady like yourself is hanging around a filthy Jap like this fella when you could have been with me, Raynare?"
"Dohnaseek... you just fucking burned your last bridge with me!" Raynare shouted as she lifted her head to reveal that her eyes now looked like they were on fire while her face had an angry expression on display. Black feathered wings then came out from her back.
Dohnaseek pulled his spear out of Issei while Raynare created a pink spear of light in her hands. He then said, "You know, I really fucking hate being part of this business here in Japan. Way too many Japs present for my liking."
"Less talking, more fighting, you racist bastard!" Raynare replied as she flew off. As she flew, she created another spear before throwing it at Dohnaseek, who narrowly dodged it at the last second.
"That is just plain rude! Seems like I'm gonna have to spank yo pretty ass, Raynare!" Dohnaseek stated as he flew after Raynare. Issei was still bleeding out and pulled out the flyer and asked, "Could someone... anyone... help me out?"
The flyer glowed blue and a flash of light engulfed the area before Issei saw someone standing there. He then lost consciousness.
Issei regained consciousness in his bedroom facing a beautiful girl with black hair. He looked down and blushed upon seeing that he and the girl were both completely naked. The girl stirred before waking up and she then said, "Good morning, Issei-kun. I'm sure that you have plenty of questions, but allow me to introduce myself. I am Sona Sitri, and as of this morning, I am the King of the peerage that you find yourself in."
Issei got up and out of bed after she said that and gathered a fresh change of clothes before running into the bathroom to change into them. He was finished within a few minutes and when he exited, he saw Sona exit his room while dressed in the female Kuoh Academy High School uniform. He then asked after also exiting his room, "Why me?"
"It's because Rias already recruited Genshirou Saji and Momo Hanakai into her peerage. Incidentally, you used up all of my seven remaining Pawns and I'm quite strong. How about we go downstairs for some breakfast?"
