Chapter 43 (America, "That's all I've got to say")
Scene (Kuoh Academy Nurses Office)
Music permeates the room. Standing while all being in some sort of petrification when it came to their bodies, the three women have different looks of pleasure plastered on their beautiful faces. Sona has her eyes held wide, (which was a very strange occurrence for her). Kalawarner looked to be in some sort of ecstasy as the look in her eyes suggested pure and unadulterated intimacy. Lastly, Riser had a most concerning look as her eyes were constantly moving from Issei's eyes, down toward his body, then his instrument. Squinting as if attempting to read this person in front of her, Riser had a single thought replaying in her mind. "When I have you where I want you, I can study you more and more. What a most interesting husband you will make, my darling Issei Phenex." Riser now grins.
Issei finishes his ballad as his flames recede into nothing more than violet colored smolders. The smell of burning incense completely overtakes the room. It is something that smells familiar but forign at the same time. This smell was most definitely coming from Issei as the three girls seemed to notice and were somehow drawn to it, as if it were a pheromone of sorts. What the girls didn't know were the thoughts that were going through the boys head as he played.
Scene (Flashback)
In his living room, we now see Issei, a much younger Issei, sitting on the floor with a ¾ acoustic guitar in his hands. Oh the couch, right next to him, we see an older man. The man looks to have Issei's features, clearly, this was his father. Also holding a larger acoustic guitar, Issei's father smiles, "are you ready my son?" Smiling back with excitement, little Issei grins, "you bet dad, I've been practicing real hard! I have this song memorized by heart!" Nodding proudly, Mr. Hyoudou begins to strum on his instrument.
Issei starts to join in shortly afterward. Then, the boy begins to sing. "I've had time to write a book. About the way you act and look. But I haven't got a paragraph. Words are always getting in my way. Anyway, I love you. That's all I have to tell you. That's all I've got to say." "Why am I remembering this now of all times? The playing continues beautifully as we now see Issei's mother enter the room with three hot chocolates on a tray. She smiles at the interaction and music. Issei continues, "I'm not a man of poetry. Music isn't one with me. It runs from me. It runs from me. And I tried to write a symphony."
Issei's mother then joins in singing. "Once when I was searching!" Issei, "But I lost the melody." Mother, "Somewhere out of reach." Issei, "Alas I only finished half." Continuing on with mother and son taking each line of lyrics, the song continued as Issei's father really got into his melancholy-like style while playing. "Alas I only finished half. Far away. And finish I suppose I never may. In a place I could not find. Anyway, I love you. Or heart obey. That's all I have to tell you. Now that I'm a woman. That's all I've got to say. Now I know the way. That's all I've got to say. Now I know the way. That's all I've got to say." The room begins to fade into gray mist as Issei comes to his senses.
Scene (Reality)
Realizing two things at once, first, Issei raises his free hand toward his face, only to wipe his eyes clean as they were drenched in tears. Secondly, he had all three girls standing around him, almost in a triangle shape. Kalawarner was directly in front of him, meanwhile Sona was to his right and Riser was to his left.
All three had different types and different intensities to their smiles. "I, I, I, that was intense. I, need, ehhh." Kalawarner can see the turmoil that is plaguing Issei's thoughts. Clearly he was having some sort of past memory as he has the same look as he did prior. "The stoic look in his face, but the eyes, oh yes, there it is." Kalawarner stepped forward and before anyone could say or do anything, Issei was once again taken in by the blue haired angels embrace. Seeing this, the other girls were about to protest, that was until they heard what they heard. "UUUUHHHHHGGG!"
Sona and Riser were both surprised by this muffled outburst by the boy. At first they thought maybe the angel was crushing him or something, but no, this was the sound of anguish, loss, something that could be conveyed quite easily toward those who were sensitive enough. Not knowing what to do, both girls were temporarily dependent on Kalawarner as she clearly knew what she was doing.
Sona thought to herself, "how does Issei know this woman? I need more information." Riser had thoughts of her own as well. "Wow, Riser will admit, this angel is both hot and strong, she would be amazing to add to my personal harem. And she already knows how to handle the kid, that's a plus in my book. That in itself should make the transition easier on Issei. Though, I will need to dominate her a bit in order to make her subservient to my orders…" Riser begins to grin. Kalawarner ignores the lustful grin coming from Riser and proceeds to whisper to the person she is holding. "You are not alone, you are not alone, you are not alone. You got me kid, hook line and sinker. Just let it all out, there, there."
