(Kuoh Academy)
Saturday afternoon arrived and a smiling Issei sat by the fountain that had become his meeting spot for the supernatural girls wearing his favorite red jacket and black shirt and pants combo ready to see what would happen, "Partner. Are you sure somebody is going to show? Based on what the Sitri told you there's no chance either heiress will show up."
"Rias definitely won't but Ravel is a wildcard. Especially if the contents of Rias's letter are revealed to the other members of Riser's peerage." Issei smiled. By now Ravel would've gotten Rias letter, but the truth was Ravel still needed him to agree to her terms. Rias counted on Ravel's pride stopping her from coming and a part of Issei did also. The question was who would show up instead of her.
"Partner do you sense that" Ddraig said curiously.
"Yes I do and It appears that I was right after all." Issei smiled as he sensed two figures appear near the entrance of the park. It looks like his plan worked after all.
(Phenex mansion)
Ravel Phenex slowly opened her eyes, "Ughh what happened." Ravel wondered as she tried to take in her surroundings. The last thing she remembered was sitting down for some morning tea.
"You shouldn't move Lady Ravel. You're still recovering from what we decided to do." A voice said calmly. Ravel turned towards the voice and although she was groggy recognized the patterned kimono that belonged to her maid Mihae who was also her brother's bishop much to her annoyance but right now she was focused on the words she spoke.
"Mihae what's going on." Ravel muttered.
"We can't have you giving up your precious virginity to such a lothario especially for your brother's sake so a few of us decided to act instead" Mihae explained causing Ravel's eyes to widen.
"What!" Ravel gasped before forcing herself to move but finding that she couldn't.
"I told you Lady Ravel. You just need to relax and leave dealing with that man to Karlamine and Xuelan. Your morning tea had a paralytic that will wear off shortly. Until then relax" Mihae said calmly before leaving.
Ravel was furious that this could've happened but she'd deal with that once the drugs got out of her system. When she received the letter from Rias saying that neither of them should give in, she was tempted to agree. The problem was doing nothing would only hurt her instead of help. 'Don't worry girls. I'll make sure that bastard doesn't do anything to you.' Ravel thought to herself. The moment the paralytic faded she would find the group and stop him from doing even more damage. Those girls had no idea who they were messing with and hopefully she could stop them before they did something stupid and foolish.
(Park)
A smiling Issei saw the two female figures approach him and he had to do his best to stop a wide grin from appearing on his face. The girl on the left had very short light brown hair and green eyes. Her outfit consisted of a white shirt that barely held together a massive pair of breasts and a grey skirt along with white socks and what looked to be a small pair of silver boots. The girl on the right was the 'beauty in the Chinese dress' that Issei mentioned Riser slept with right before their faithful meeting. She was a beauty to be sure with shoulder length black hair and blue green eyes. Her outfit consisted of a blue sleeveless qipao style blouse with white trim and black shorts that barely went below her rear. Black knee socks and what looked to be black slippers competed the outfit.
'Jackpot' Issei thought to himself. When he first saw Riser and his peerage and began formulating his plan, he made note of which of Riser's girls he would most enjoying taking from him. The two in front of him were at the top of that list with Ravel, the purple haired women who was probably his queen, and a pair of catgirl twins not far behind. As they approached him, he tried to keep his cool and not ruin things so soon.
"You're Issei Hyoudou correct." The one of the left said sternly.
"That's right but I'm actually waiting for a date here." Issei replied calmly.
"Well I'm afraid neither Lady Ravel nor Ms Gremory will be coming so you have plenty of time." The one on the right replied with a haughtier tone.
"Who are you girls" Issei said with a raised eyebrow.
"My name is Karlamine, Knight of Riser Phenex." The one on the left said calmly.
"And I am Xuelan, Rook of Riser Phenex." The one on the right revealed.
"Well it's nice to meet you girls. If those two aren't coming I'm afraid I'll be going." Issei smiled as he got up to leave. He had to do this part right.
"Aren't you the least bit curious why we've come here." Karlamine asked aware their chance was slipping away.
"Not enough to stick around. My deal was with those two and if they don't show up. I suppose I'll stick to my original plan which is to move on with my life" Issei smiled as he started to walk away.
"Wait!" Xuelan shouted causing Issei to pause.
"What do you want" Issei replied with an expression of boredom knowing it would force the two to act. He was fortunate the two girls couldn't see his face because there was a large smile plastered all over it.
"You were waiting for Lady Ravel and Lady Rias to come because of your wager were you not." Xuelan said nervously.
"I was" Issei replied his amused expression hidden from the girls.
"What if we were to take Lady Ravel's place in your little wager." Xuelan spoke up catching both Issei and her partner off guard.
"What" Karlamine gasped clearly not in agreement with the plan.
"Interesting but it wouldn't be fair if Rias was involved." Issei smiled. It was a lie of sorts but Issei was a skilled manipulator.
The two women paused since that was something to consider, "What if we join Lady Rias if we fail" Xuelan spoke up causing Karlamine to look at her partner in shock yet again.
"Are you crazy Xuelan. What about Lord Riser?" Karlamine said in shock.
"What about him. For the last ten days he's done absolutely nothing but sit in his room and sulk. We haven't trained and for obvious reasons he hasn't fucked us either. It proves what we've long suspected and we're just holes to him/" Xuelan spat shocking Karlamine.
"I…" Karlamine started to say but the words escaped her since Xuelan was right. Riser had his favorite in Yubelluna, but the rest of them were just holes and they knew it. They couldn't really rebel either since becoming a stray devil was something nobody wanted. Their current situation was not ideal.
"So let me get this straight, you two will leave Riser and become Rias's servants if I simply satisfy you two." Issei smiled since this was just what he needed.
"That's correct but you have to satisfy us both." Xuelan said firmly.
"Wait I didn't ag-" Karlamine started to say before a magic circle appeared in front of them. To the surprise of all three parties. Ravel Phenex appeared in her pink dress and from the looks of things she was struggling to do so.
"Lady Ravel!" Xuelan said in shock. This was not part of the plan.
"You two should go home right now. I have some business to handle with this one." Ravel scowled. She was worn out thanks to the drug but she had to ensure she was the one who dealt with them.
"Actually Ravel, our business is done since these two just made me a very interesting offer to me." Issei smiled.
"What?" Ravel cursed. It was possible that she was too late.
"I'd tell you what it is, but since I need to think about their offer I'm going to get going." Issei smiled. Ravel was going to lose her mind when she heard what the two girls agreed to and as much as he wanted to watch, he had better things to do.
"Where are you going?" Ravel scowled aware that something major just happened.
"To call a few more girls. Like I told you it's orgy Saturday and that means I have an orgy to enjoy. Luckily for me, I've got loads of girls who will drop what they're doing for me. As for our deal, I'll have an answer for you tomorrow. Bye ladies" Issei smiled before walking away.
Ravel was furious and she couldn't help but wonder what happened. Looking towards the two servants of her brother Ravel only had one question, "What happened!" Ravel said angrily.
'Well…" Xuelan said bashfully since it was her idea. Fortunately for Issei, he was close enough to the girl to hear a scream of pure rage coming from the Phenex heiress and he loved it.
(Scene Skip)
After learning about the deal that the girls attempted to make with Issei, Ravel and the two girls teleported over to the ORC clubroom to find Rias sitting calmly with Akeno next to them. "What brings you to my club Ravel." Rias said with a hint of annoyance.
"To keep a long story short, Xuelan and Karlamine here attempted to confront Issei Hyoudou instead of leaving things alone like you wanted."
"What happened" Rias winced since if Ravel was coming to her that absolutely spelled trouble.
"They made a wager with Issei. If he doesn't manage to satisfy them, he fights Riser and if he does. Both of them join you." Ravel explained as Xuelan and Karlamine flinched behind them.
"Ufufufu then you're lucky he didn't outright agree since your brother would lose two servants." Akeno smiled.
"What did you just say." Karlamine said angrily still furious that she was roped into this in the first place.
"Akeno that's enough!" Rias chided.
"Wait a minute. Why are you so confident that we would lose?" Xuelan questioned.
"The young man you challenged, is known in our school as Hottie Magnet Hyoudou. He's known as that because he's managed to bed close to 100 different girls in Kuoh alone. According to rumors he has another 100+ women in different schools and he can call on them at any time. I don't know how strong he is in battle but in the bedroom he is unparalleled."
"Impossible" Xuelan said in shock since one person couldn't be that skilled. Unfortunately for her, she didn't see the small blush appear on Ravel's face. Thanks to her spying, Ravel knew the young man was popular and although she didn't observe him directly, she knew he was with multiple women during the week.
"Not impossible and I would know since I'm one of them. Once he gets his hands on you it's over and you'll be ruined" Akeno preened.
"Anything else you could tell us Akeno." Ravel prodded.
"I could but I won't since I want it to be a surprise. Either way I can promise you that if he agrees to this deal you're done for." Akeno purred with delight. The girls messed up big time.
"So what do we do?" Ravel said in confusion. She had no idea how to proceed and the circumstances were not in her favor. Akeno's words were not some taunt and she knew it because of her expression. If that was the case, they were toast.
"I don't know." Rias admitted. She knew Issei could easily satisfy those girls and they'd be an excellent addition to her peerage but she'd be playing into Issei's hands and she didn't want that.
A frowning Ravel thought about it for a moment before smiling, "This is just like the situation with me and Rias." Ravel said happily.
"How so" Rias frowned.
"He never actually agreed to your arrangement so what if we just simply ignore him." Ravel frowned.
"Good point." Rias smiled.
"Ufufufu, isn't that how you girls got to this point" Akeno reminded them.
"Damn" Ravel cursed because that was also true. Mihae knew about the girls plan and if they realized nothing happened, they would act again.
"Well I'll leave what to do up to you girls." Rias said innocently. She couldn't exactly tell them what to do either way.
"As much as I hate to do it. Let's talk to my brother." Ravel sighed. In the back of her head she knew this was a terrible idea but she had no experience with men and her brother might be able to help figure this out.
(Hotel Aurorus)
"Keep going Issei" Momo Hanakai moaned happily as she was getting hammered from behind by the real Issei on the bed. After leaving the Phenex girls around 90 minutes ago, he called Momo and asked if he and his other lovers on the council would like to enjoy orgy Saturday with him. Momo agreed and Orgy Saturday was on once again. Tsubaki was currently being fucked in the shower by an Issei clone while Reya was on the large couch in the room with a clone of her own. Issei could've called plenty of people but he chose the council since there was a good chance Ravel would contact him again trying to convince him to not agree. He had them right where he wanted them and he knew it.
"Don't worry Momo I've got plenty left for you." Issei smiled happily.
'Sadly partner, I'm afraid the fun must come to an end.' Ddraig spoke up.
"Got it" Issei soured before pulling out of Momo to the white-haired girl's annoyance.
"What's going on Issei" Momo complained.
"Things just got very interesting and not in a good way." Issei replied before reaching his hand up an producing a small bit of flames.
"Damn" the clone inside Reya cursed aware of exactly what that meant. Although it wasn't right there. Tsubaki's clone also stopped since it sensed Issei create the fire.
"What's going on." Reya said nervously. She got her answer when Ravel's familiar appeared in the room and gobbled his flames.
"Your fire is very good" the familiar praised.
"Seeing as how you're here, I take something happened." Issei deadpanned.
"Yes and I need you to go to the park from before right now." The bird replied.
"I see" the real Issei frowned as he moved for his clothes.
"Issei! What's going on and what the hell is with this bird." Momo said angrily. She didn't voice it earlier but she was surprised that Issei would call her out of the blue. Now she knew something was wrong and she wanted answers.
"Let's just say today's orgy wasn't supposed to be you three." Issei frowned before making a third clone for Momo while he got dressed.
"Where are you going Issei?" Momo questioned liking this even less than before.
"Tell you later. Enjoy orgy day with the clones." Issei replied before vanishing in a magic circle wondering just what went down after he left the girls.
(Scene Skip)
Issei arrived at the park to find Karlamine sitting on the bench he was at earlier and from the looks of things she was crying. 'Oh this can't be good' Issei thought to himself. When she noticed his presence, she glared at him angrily.
"It's all your fault!" Karlamine said in a mix of anger and sadness as she looked towards Issei. Her face was puffy from tears in her eyes and he knew something bad happened.
"What happened?" Issei wondered as he walked towards the crying girl.
Karlamine gathered herself and focused on the young man, "Thanks to that blasted deal of yours my master abandoned me" Karlamine said angrily. She Xuelan and Ravel went to Lord Riser to tell him about the deal and he did not take it well to say the least.
'I can only imagine' Issei thought to himself. Even if it was for him, Issei highly doubted Riser would like the idea of his women sleeping with someone else. "What happened." Issei said gently.
"He began cursing at us and berating us for even considering such a thing before he called his mother and traded all three of us to her for nothing saying that he didn't want anybody who would give themselves up to a lowly human or consider doing as much. I tried to protest that it wasn't my idea but he wouldn't listen." Karlamine sobbed.
Issei could see how upset she was and decided to help her out, "How about I make a call and get you a room for the night so you can calm down. I'm sure Ravel and Xuelan will want to speak to you tomorrow after you've gotten some rest." Issei smiled. Considering that it was Xuelan's idea and Ravel was the one who got them into this mess in the first place, he doubted she would be willing to speak to them right now
"I'm not staying with Lady Rias." Karlamine frowned figuring he would send her there. Rias was the last person she wanted to see considering it was her fault they were in this mess to begin with. That blasted letter ruined everything.
Issei smiled at that, "Don't worry because I was never calling Rias." Issei smiled before reaching for his phone. "Hey Sona… it's complicated… let's just say I have a guest that could use a spare room… oh just come to the park… thanks." Issei smiled before hanging up the phone.
"What's going on." Karlamine said in confusion.
"I know a few people." Issei smiled.
Karlamine was about to respond when a magic circle appeared and to her shock it had the Sitri crest. Her confusion grew as Sona Sitri herself appeared. "What the hell. What is Sona Sitri doing here" Karlamine said angrily.
Sona took one look at Karlamine and her crying face and she knew what happened. After their romp the other day and Issei's suggestion of Riser's peerage getting involved, she went through scenarios in her head and she immediately knew what happened, "Karlamine would you like to stay with me for the night." Sona said warmly. The girl needed somebody right now and she would provide it.
Karlamine could see that Sona was genuine and she did need a place to stay, "Okay" Karlamine said awkwardly.
"Then let's go" Sona smiled before reaching her hand out. Issei could only watch as the two girls left with a smile.
"That's odd partner. I thought for sure you'd try to seduce her." Ddraig whispered.
"Most days I would but it was Xuelan's idea not hers"
"I see and what if it was the other one who was sitting here crying."
"That would be a different story altogether" Issei smiled.
"I see. So what do you want to do now?"
"Let's go home. I can't exactly go back to the hotel now." Issei smiled. Plus he had a feeling that there would be a lot of people wanting to speak to him tomorrow.
(Scene Skip)
After breakfast a smiling Issei relaxed in his room in his favorite outfit waiting for a call to come. Considering what happened the night before the chance was Sona and her peerage would want answers and he doubted Ravel was far behind. "It would seem that Ravel has moved first" Issei smiled as he sensed a familiar presence approach. As he did a few times already Issei reached up with his right arm and summoned a small flame and not far behind it came Ravel's familiar. How it did that he hadn't figured out but Issei wasn't about to complain.
"How did you know I was near?" the bird asked.
"Because I can sense you. Whatever business Ravel has can wait. I need to go to see her brother first?"
"Lady Ravel can bring you to her brother. If you wish I can get her." the bird nodded.
"Very well." Issei confirmed as the bird vanished. A few moments later Ravel appeared in her pink dress.
"What do you want" Ravel huffed in annoyance. The last few days had not gone well for her and seeing this man was the last thing she wanted.
"I've decided to give you what you want Ravel. I will face your brother in battle." Issei smiled.
Ravel looked at him with disgust, "So that's why you've summoned me." Ravel scowled as she moved to strip.
"Keep your clothes on Ravel. If I slept with you now it would be an insult to Karlamine. No, I'll face your brother because that is what is best"
"Really" Ravel said skeptically. After all the hoops they had gone through it was almost ridiculous to see him give in like that.
"I had a moment of clarity. Now take me to your brother before I change my mind" Issei chuckled before walking over to the Phenex heiress.
"Very well then" Ravel nodded and the two vanished via a magic circle. It wasn't quite what she expected but she wasn't about to complain.
A moment later they appeared right in front of a large brown door. Issei would've questioned it but thanks to his senses he knew who was behind it. "Riser! I know you can hear me." Issei roared.
"What do you want human. Come to brag about the women you stole from me?" Riser scowled from behind the door.
"Not at all. I've come because I've decided to give you what you want. You and I will fight three days from now at a location you can determine." Issei shouted. He figured it wouldn't take long for Riser to answer and he was right.
"Alright human I accept. I hope you don't regret your decision." Riser said confidently from behind the door.
"Believe me Riser. The last thing I'm going to feel is regret." Issei smiled before turning towards Ravel. "Send me home. I have a Sunday to enjoy." Issei smiled.
"Asshole" Ravel frowned before following the request. She still couldn't figure out how they had reached this point but they did and now maybe things would return to normal.
(Scene Skip)
Issei arrived home and before he could gather himself there was a knock on his door, "I don't know where you were son but you have a guest waiting for you downstairs." Issei's father replied.
'Oh you've gotta be kidding me.' Issei groaned as he flared his senses. To his amusement Sona was waiting for him downstairs all alone. "Thanks dad." Issei smiled before walking downstairs. Arriving in the living room, Issei looked calmly at the Sitri heiress who was in casual clothes as she sat on the couch.
"You and I need to have a chat Issei. Do you mind if we go to your room." Sona said with a frown on her face.
"We can talk here." Issei smiled before moving to sit on the couch.
Sona's eyes widened, "What about your parents" Sona said nervously.
"They know about the supernatural." Issei replied knowing what Sona was worried about.
Sona's eyes widened even further but she nodded, "I noticed that you weren't here when I arrived and that you teleported back. Care to explain what happened"
"I had some business to take care of" Issei replied causing Sona's eyes to widen. There wasn't much business he could do that involved teleporting unless it was one thing.
"You… you challenged Riser didn't you." Sona said in disbelief.
"That's right. I've challenged him to a fight three days from now." Issei confirmed.
"But why now! You were so against it before." Sona protested.
"Loyalty"
"I see" Sona nodded. What happened to Karlamine must've bothered Issei quite a bit for him to change his opinion. A part of Sona appreciated the irony of the situation since based on his own words he was looking forward to stealing the girls from Riser.
"Yeah I'll get ahold of Azazel later to see if he might have a place I can go for some training." Issei smiled.
"Why Azazel and what about school." Sona wondered.
"I'm asking Azazel because if I ask Rias there's a chance, she'll sabotage me and I'm not asking you because I don't want you to have to choose between me and Rias."
Sona could appreciate his reasoning, "That's fine but what about school. If you're out for a few days people are going to wonder and that could lead to plenty of issues on my end" Sona admitted. Issei was too popular among the women of the school for him to miss multiple days.
"One of my clones can deal with class and my dates. I can make them pretty sturdy too so there's no issue." Issei replied.
Sona sighed because Issei thought of everything to an almost scary degree, "Alright" Sona nodded bringing the conversation to an end. She had a lot to discuss but considering what just happened all of that went out the window.
(Scene Skip)
Issei arrived at the street where Azazel lived with a smile on his face ready to speak to the Fallen angel leader. Admittedly he hadn't met the man since his supposed arrival, but he had gone to the house a few times for dates with the three fallen, "When was the last time I had a meet the Parent's day." Issei chuckled reminded of the fact he was Raynare's father.
"It's been some time since… Partner now is not a good time." Ddraig said nervously catching him off guard.
"Something wrong Ddraig." Issei smiled as he approached the door at last. He sensed the familiar auras of Raynare Mittelt and Kalawarner along with an unfamiliar aura but he assumed that was Azazel.
"Partner please listen to me. We need to leave." Ddraig said nervously.
"Oh come on Azazel can't be that bad." Issei smiled as he knocked the door.
"Fine…" Ddraig sighed realizing he couldn't stop his host.
Issei knocked the door with a smile and he waited a moment for the door to open. When it finally did Issei was in for a surprise. The person who answered was a beautiful girl around his age with silver hair that flowed just beyond her shoulders and ice blue eyes. Her outfit consisted of a black leather jacket that had the top button opened which showed a massive amount of cleavage and matching black pants with a small chain on the side and some sneakers. As much as those stood out to Issei what really stood out to him was her aura. Now Issei was incredibly powerful at full strength but the girl in front of him rivaled his and her aura was also draconic. "Who are you? I'm pretty sure we didn't order any food." The girl questioned.
Issei had to gather himself for a minute, "Name's Issei Hyoudou and I'm looking for Azazel." Issei said nonchalantly.
The girl looked at Issei with a narrow eye before chuckling, "So you're the guy those three can't stop talking about. Bad news is that Zaz is running errands but I'm sure he won't mind if you waited inside. Come on in" The girl replied with a smile that almost unnerved Issei.
"Thanks" Issei replied awkwardly as he walked in. He was led into a pretty simple family room with various artifacts and paintings all around and a medium sized couch with red leather and a few matching red leather chairs.
"Why don't you sit down. I'll grab Raynare so you have some company till Zaz returns." The girl replied before walking away leaving Issei completely confused.
'What the fuck is going on Ddraig. Who IS that chick?' Issei thought to his partner. She was gorgeous but the girl gave him an almost instinctive case of the shivers.
"I don't know who she is, but I do know that she is the current host of Albion the Divine Dragon." Ddraig explained.
'You're shitting me.' Issei replied. When they were younger Ddraig spoke about his rival and warned Issei that a battle between the two was inevitable. The fact his rival was a beauty like that was unnerving but her strength was equally so.
"That's why I warned you partner. I was afraid you two would fight but clearly she either didn't recognize you or didn't want to fight yet" Ddraig explained.
Issei was about to reply before Raynare ran into the room, "Issei are you okay" Raynare said nervously dressed in some casual clothes.
"I'm fine don't worry." Issei shrugged. He could focus on the girl later.
"Alright but what are you doing here? Pretty sure we don't have a date for another week or so." Raynare questioned.
"I came to see your dad about getting a training spot." Issei explained causing Raynare's eyes to widen.
"You're actually fighting Riser. Oh that's gonna piss Rias off something fierce." Raynare chuckled. She sensed the three Phenex in the ORC the other day and asked Rias to fill her in. To say she was impressed with Issei was an understatement. He really was a devious bastard but something must've changed for him to be facing Riser in battle.
"Yeah which is why I can't ask her. Asking Sona would be tedious because it would force her to choose between me and Rias hence my need to ask your dad." Issei shrugged.
"We've got a villa by the beach if you like that kinda thing." Raynare suggested
"I certainly do, but sadly it'll be business instead of pleasure so I need something in the mountains instead" Issei smiled.
"Why bother waiting for Zaz to get back. He's not the only one with a place." The girl from before smiled.
"Stay out of this Valerie." Raynare said angrily.
"Oh relax Raynare. I'm not gonna harm him. The fact I didn't do anything when he showed up is proof of that." The now named Valerie smiled.
'Oh this can't be good.' Issei thought to himself. "I think I'll wait for Zaz."
"Suit yourself. I wouldn't have expected my rival to be so timid though." Valerie chuckled.
"One tedious fight at a time thank you. We're about even but that would not be an even battle"
"Oh! So you're concealing your power too huh. That's pretty smart" Valerie chuckled.
"Get out of here Valerie" Raynare said angrily deciding that was enough.
"Fine fine. Zaz should be back in a few so keep the clothes on." Valerie chuckled.
"Fuck you!" Raynare cursed as Valerie left with a smile on her face. With Valerie gone Raynare turned towards Issei. "Why don't I get you a drink to calm down." Raynare said ironically.
"Sure" Issei smiled finally relaxing for a bit. After Raynare came back with his drink and left him alone, Issei was able to focus on everything that happened and reflect. True he was dead set on punishing both Ravel and Rias and stealing the girls from Riser, but the fact that Karlamine was so torn up changed that mindset. Over the years he slept with girls with boyfriend's on multiple occasions, but they were initiated by the girls. He valued loyalty quite a bit and it's why he was particularly rough when those situations arose.
"Partner are you alright" Ddraig wondered.
"Just thinking about how we got to this point" Issei smiled bitterly. As he continued to relax he stiffened as he felt a massive aura approach. 'I'd say Azazel's back.' Issei thought to himself as he heard the door open. Soon he was able to put a face to the aura and he was admittedly surprised by the person who appeared. Azazel appeared to be in his twenties with an average build, black hair, golden bangs and a black goatee. His outfit was a large green yukata with white trim and sandals. Not what he would've expected for the leader of the fallen.
"So you're the one whose charmed my little Raynare. It's nice to put a name to a face finally." Azazel smiled.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Azazel, unfortunately my visit is more about business than pleasure."
"Oh" Azazel said with intrigue.
"That's right. I'd like to ask if you knew a place I could go for some training. You see I have a match in a few days and I need some time to get myself battle ready and school isn't going to do that."
"And you're not asking the devils to help why?" Azazel smiled.
"Rias wouldn't be happy with me since our battle sort of contradicts a deal that we made. As for Sona, I don't want her to have to choose between me and Rias" Issei smiled.
"Alright. Luckily for you I have a home in the mountains that's not far from Kuoh. That should work for any type of training"
"Yes it will" Issei smiled.
"Excellent. I'll give you the key and directions on how to get there and you can go there whenever you're ready." Azazel smiled.
"Thanks" Issei replied with a smile as the meet and greet came to an end without any major issues.
(Scene Skip)
Later that night, Issei was packing his things as he prepared for his trip. "Here we go Ddraig. It's been a while since we did some serious training" Issei smiled.
"Yes and in the mountains no less. This should be good." Ddraig smiled.
Issei was about to reply but a magic circle appeared in his room yet again, "Who is it this time" Issei groaned. He couldn't help but notice that the circle was of the Phenex clan and when Ravel and Xuelan popped out he was surprised. The fact that Ravel was in the more revealing purple dress and Xuelan was in the Chinese outfit she wore when they first met only added to the surprise.
"Sorry to come over unannounced, but we wanted to catch you before you left. Well Xuelan did." Ravel frowned. She couldn't believe that she was speaking to him again after everything that happened but there they were.
Issei twitched before casting his barrier so they had some privacy before sitting on his bed, "So what do you want. I figured that after what happened, you really wouldn't want to see me." Issei smirked. After all he did trick Ravel something fierce and caused Xuelan Karlamine and Ravel to lose their spot in Riser's peerage.
"I wanted to know why you changed your mind." Ravel admitted.
"That's it" Issei shrugged as though it wasn't a big deal.
"Yes that's it. You had Rias and I jumping through hoops and now you give in and fight my brother just because my brother traded us to my mother. What's the deal?" Ravel protested. She honestly didn't care about being traded and she was glad to leave that mess but the others were a different story.
"Yes actually. Unlike you devils I'm human and like many humans I happen to value loyalty." Issei chuckled.
"Given what we heard about you from Rias's queen, I doubt that." Ravel replied flatly as Xuelan blushed at the memory.
"Akeno may have told you about my womanizing reputation and sure I've messed up a few relationships but those women came to me."
"Really. I can't see how that many girls would come to a lothario like you." Ravel huffed.
"Keep telling yourself that Ravel." Issei replied with a smile.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ravel huffed.
"You're wearing a pretty revealing dress right now." Issei smiled.
"This one is more comfortable" Ravel protested.
"Oh relax Ravel. If you want to sleep with me that's perfectly alright" Issei smiled wolfishly.
"I don't!" Ravel yelled.
"But I do and we can even have some fun right now." Xuelan interrupted. Seeing Issei and Ravel flirt got on her nerves especially since she was the reason the pair were there in the first place.
"Xuelan!"
"As tempting as that is now's kind of a bad time, but I do have an idea if you're interested." Issei smiled.
"I'm listening" Xuelan said with intrigue.
"Thanks to a friend, I'm gonna head up to the mountains to train for a few days before my match. How about you two join me. We can train in the afternoon and have fun at night." Issei smiled. He had his clones but having someone else to train with would be nice. Especially if it was a beauty like Xuelan and one who was interested in sleeping with him.
"Sounds good to me." Xuelan agreed.
"What do you think you're doing Xuelan." Ravel yelled.
"Taking care of the reason I wanted you to bring me to his house. It was my idea to sleep with him before and I don't see any reason why I shouldn't do so now especially since your brother kicked us out. If we get a villa to ourselves, we can have even more fun" Xuelan smirked.
"You little. You said you wanted to talk to him." Ravel said angrily.
"Yes and that was to convince him to sleep with me. I was loyal to Lord Riser, but he made his feelings clear. Instead I'll come to a man whose clearly interested in me if his reaction from before was any indication" Xuelan smiled.
"YOU!" Ravel growled.
"As much fun as this shouldn't you go pack for the trip Xuelan." Issei wondered.
"Sure why not. Lady Ravel is about to lose it anyway." Xuelan chuckled.
"Let's GO!" Ravel said angrily clearly flustered by the whole thing.
"See ya tomorrow Issei?" Xuelan smiled as the two vanished via a magic circle.
"How do you do it partner."
"I've got no clue, but I love it" Issei smiled. Him and a beauty like Xuelan together for a few days in a mountain retreat. His clone would deal with class and he could get ready for his battle. Issei couldn't think of how it could get any better for him.
(Scene Skip)
A smiling Issei sat at the park with his bags ready for the upcoming trip. His clone was already at school so he didn't have that to worry about and thanks to Azazel he had a mental location so he could teleport with the girls instead of walking around. Since it was the middle of the day the park was empty, so it was no surprise to Issei when a magic circle appeared. What appeared from the circle however, was a surprise.
"Hey there" Xuelan smiled with a frowning Ravel next to her. Ravel was in what amounted to hiking gear with a short-sleeved tan button down shirt with pockets right by her breasts and a tan knee length skirt completing the outfit were tan boots and a brown and white stripped knit hat. As for Xuelan she was in the same outfit she wore the first time around. Each girl had backpacks of their own for the trip which was fine by Issei.
"Hey to you also but I'm surprised to see Ravel here and seemingly joining us." Issei smiled.
"I was curious if you were actually a match for my brother." Ravel frowned.
"Whatever you say" Issei rolled his eyes.
"Anyway how are we getting to the mountains from here?" Xuelan wondered.
"We'll use teleportation. I got the location from my friend so we're fine." Issei smiled.
"Good now let's go." Xuelan smiled as she walked over to Issei and hugged him shamelessly pressing her body against his.
"Xuelan!" Ravel shouted in anger.
"Oh relax Lady Ravel. This is nothing compared to what we'll be doing later." Xuelan chuckled causing Ravel to blush even more.
"Ridiculous" Ravel mumbled still in disbelief
"So are you coming or not." Issei smiled.
"Yeah yeah" Ravel frowned before walking next to the pair before Issei's magic circle activated and brought them to Azazel's villa.
(Scene Skip)
"Damn" Issei said in disbelief as they arrived at the mountaintop area as Azazel promised but he had no idea that this was waiting for him. Azazel's 'home' was a mountainside mansion with a small forest area nearby but also plenty of mountains. Issei could even smell the unique water of a hot tub that was somewhere inside.
"This place is incredible" Ravel admitted herself. The place honestly rivaled other homes that she had.
"Well let's go" Xuelan smiled. As the group walked towards the home, Issei got a strange feeling in the back of his neck.
'Ddraig why do I get the feeling we're not alone.' Issei said nervously.
"Because we're not partner. We have a very interesting guest." Ddraig frowned himself.
"Umm who's that" Xuelan said nervously as the group got closer to the front of the home. When the group got a better look at their guest Issei's expression soured.
'Azazel has a pretty bad sense of humor' Issei frowned.
"Who are you. I was under the impression we'd be alone." Ravel said with a hint of annoyance.
"The name's Valerie, I'm a friend of the person who owns this mansion. I overheard Issei and him talking and figured I'd join in on the fun." Valerie smiled in her typical outfit.
"I see" Ravel frowned. She couldn't explain why but the girl in front of her gave off a vibe she just didn't like. Stealing a glance towards Issei, Ravel frowned even more noticing the look of nervousness on his face.
"Let's go then." Issei said bitterly. This otherwise simple trip was complicated thanks to Valerie's appearance and hopefully he could keep Azazel out of it.
