Before I do...
Behla: Let's just say that his feelings for her are now completely cemented. :3
Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!
*WARNING: This episode and the next will be two-parters. Just so you know!*
Days later, Issei was back in her home, wearing the school uniform and looking at her alarm clock. It read that it was 10:25 p.m. She grabbed it and looked at it. "Only an hour until the game begins..." she whispered to herself. She remembered what Richard said back in the training camp.
"We're up to the Phenex household, so what?" he said to the whole peerage, who was sitting at a table. "We'll show them how strong Richard Gremory's house is!"
She put the clock back and looked at her hand. She clenched it. "I've been training really hard," she said. "I won't lose." A look of determination fell on her face and she smiled. She hoped that they could win against that filthy bitch.
A knock was heard and the female pervert looked at the door. "Uh, Issei-san, can I please come in?" asked Asher from behind the door.
"Sure..." she replied. The door opened and revealed the former priest in...his priest uniform. Issei looked surprised to see him in it. She thought he might have discarded it or something. "Those clothes..."
He smiled at her, blushing a little. He looked away from her. "I thought I might wear this since Richard-san had told us to dress in whatever's comfortable."
She smiled at him. "Well, that definitely fits you the best, Asher-kun."
"Thanks." He cleared his throat, his blush still cemented on his face, and asked, "Can I stay by your side, Issei-san? It's okay if you don't-"
"I don't mind," she replied. He smiled and walked into the room. He sat next to her, wrapped his arm around her, and rested his head on her shoulder, making her entire face red. "A-Asher-kun?" His smile dropped into a frown and he looked...scared? Sad?
"A life-threatening fight is about to happen, right?" he asked her. She nodded at him. "But I hope I'll be fine as long as you're with me." She continued to blush. "Issei-san, can I...always be at your side from now on?"
"Of course, Asher-kun," she answered with a smile. "We'll always be together." He looked down at her with a surprised look on his face. He then smiled and embraced her, both their cheeks continuing to glow red.
"Thank you so much, Issei-san." He felt as if he were no use except for healing. But with Issei by his side, he'll do what he can. Issei just felt happy that he was happy. As long as he was happy...
...
An hour later, the alarm clock showed a handsome and hot soldier guy carrying a rifle. "It's time! Are you ready, little girl? Wake up or-" Issei pressed the "Snooze" button and told the blonde-haired male. "Come on, Asher-kun. We have a fight to go to."
Episode 10: The Decisive Battle Starts!-Part 1
In the clubroom that night, Yumi put her preferred sword in her sheath, Kabu put on a pair of black fighting gloves with...a paw print on each, and Richard and Akihiko sipped their cups of tea. Looking at the two men, Issei said, "No surprise that men like you are so composed." They were going into a fight and yet, they didn't look the slightest bit worried about possible loss or anything. It didn't surprise her though, as she knew they were strong men.
The door to the clubroom opened, making the group look and see Sora and Tsutomu in the room. Tsutomu closed the door. "Excuse us," he said as they both walked to the group.
"Good evening, Sora," Richard greeted.
"Welcome~," greeted Akihiko with his usual smile.
"The student body council president and the vice-president..." the female pervert stated. "Why?"
"Rating Games are broadcast to members of both families," the red-haired man explained to her. "They are responsible for it, after all."
"Oh, I see..." She looked at the student council members. So, this will be seen by both families? she thought.
"I volunteered to do the task," Sora stated. "It is your first game, Richard."
He scoffed at him. "I'll show you a fight that won't insult our rivalry," he said.
A white magic circle appeared and out came Grafier as it disappeared. He looked at everyone. "Are you ready, everyone?" he asked.
Richard nodded. "Yes," he answered.
"When it's about to start, you will be teleported to the battlefield."
"Battlefield?" Issei asked in a puzzled voice.
Akihiko turned to her and replied, "It's an alternate space created just for this game." She looked at him. "It's disposed of after each game, so you can run wild however you like." He closed his eyes, smiled wide, and chuckled. She only sweat-dropped.
Run wild, huh? she questioned internally. Wonder what that means...
Sora and Tsutomu were already in front of Richard's desk. "I'll be going back to the student body council room to manage the broadcast," he stated to Richard. "I wish you the best of luck, Richard."
He closed his eyes and nodded. "Thank you." He opened them to look up at his friend. "But make the broadcast fair, alright?"
He nodded and turned his back to him as well as Tsutomu. "Of course." As they began to leave the room, Sora turned his head to him and added, "I do not expect that Risa Phenex will be an even match against you or me, however." The two then left the room.
"Also, the demon lord Lucifer will be watching this fight as well," Grafier informed Richard. He gasped a little, but looked away and kept a solemn face.
"Right..." he muttered. "My sister is..."
Issei nearly jumped up when she heard him say "sister". "H-hold on, sister?!" she exclaimed. "Did I hear that wrong?!"
Yumi giggled. "You didn't, Issei-chan," she replied. "As his sister is the demon lord."
Both Issei and Asher gasped. "What?!" the perverted devil exclaimed. "Your sister is the demon lord?! But-"
"Yes," Richard answered, a scowl seen on his face. "And if I'm listening to you correctly, gender does not matter when it comes to being the demon lord." Both her and Asher's eyes widened. They thought that there was no way...
"Sirzeca Lucifer," Yumi added. "Also known as the Crimson Female Satan. That's his sister. Sirzeca-sama succeeded the previous demon lord Lucifer when he died the previous war."
"Is THAT why the President's the heir of the Gremory family?" asked the former priest. She nodded. Issei looked at the Ruin Prince with a saddened face.
"So that's why..." she muttered quietly. She remembered him saying:
"I'm the son of the Gremory house. That name, Gremory, follows me wherever I go."
It's all because of your sister, isn't it? she thought, feeling bad for him.
A large red magic circle appeared in the large space in the room, Grafier saying, "It's time."
Richard stood up from his desk. "Then let's go," he demanded of everyone. They nodded and stood up as well. All walked into the magic circle and stood there, ready to go. Everyone disappeared, one-by-one. First Kabu, then Richard, then Akihiko, then Yumi, then a worried Asher, then finally, Issei, who was closing her eyes.
She opened them when she finally transported...only to find herself and everyone else in the clubroom again. Did it fail? "Nothing changed..." Asher pointed out, looking around.
"Don't tell me the teleportation screwed up on me..." Issei muttered worriedly. Since she couldn't jump circles, it was possible.
"Everyone,"said Grafier's voice over the speakers. Everyone looked at the direction it was coming from, Issei and Asher looking in surprise.
"I am Grafier, servant of the Gremory family, the appointed judge between the Gremory and Phenex families." Sora and Tsutomu was seen in the student council room, looking at the speakers. "Taking Richard-sama's and Risa-sama's opinions into consideration, we prepared a replica of Kuoh Academy-the school Richard-sama attends in the human world-as the battlefield."
"A replica?" questioned Issei.
"Look outside, Isa," Richard suggested to prove the butler's words right. She did so as she and Asher walked to a window and looked out of it...seeing green aurora in the sky. Both of them gasped at the sight.
"The sky is..." Asher muttered in awe.
"We are in an alternate universe," the blonde-haired girl stated.
"With a replica of the school in it," the raven-haired man added.
The two looked awed at the sight of the aurora. It was so pretty. "Just how amazing can devil powers get?" the brown-haired devil asked.
"Both parties have been teleported to their main base," Grafier's voice continued. "Richard-sama's main base is the Occult Research Club room in the old schoolhouse." The King himself had his hand on the back of his neck and he sighed.
"Tsutomu," Sora said.
"Yes sir," he replied as he moved his finger to reveal Risa's main base.
"Risa-sama's main base is the principal's office in the new schoolhouse," the butler's voice stated.
In the room, it was lit by a fire place. Risa sat on a chair with her legs on the table. The man with the long black loincloth, the boy in the blue-colored suit and tie, and Yubel stood next to her. The men dressed in the sexy butler costumes are more closer to her, one of them touching her thigh and having his lips on her neck, the other kissing the other side of her neck and her hand caressing his abs through his white dress shirt. She looked...pleasured and determined.
"Thus, pawns can promote themselves when they manage to invade the enemy's schoolhouse," Grafier went on.
Issei smiled and looked at the group. "So all I need to do is go into the new schoolhouse?" she asked before smirking. "Piece of cake! And the promotion will be as strong as a queen, the strongest piece!"
Akihiko chuckled. "Eeto, eeto~, it's not THAT easy~," he told her, making her confused.
"It also means their pawns will be as Queen as well if they enter this building," Yumi explained. "You should expect their main base to be heavily defensed."
She frowned. She had a good point. "I guess you're right..." she muttered. Kabu handed her a small, glowing ball. She noticed and picked it up from his hands. "What's this?"
Richard had one as well. It floated and went inside of his ear. "This is how we'll communicate on the battlefield," he answered.
"Oh, like a transceiver." Both her and Asher put them in their ears.
"The game shall now begin!" Grafier announced. Silence went over in the clubroom.
In the principal's office, Risa made the men kissing her neck to lift their heads up. She said to her peerage, "Now, these people may be too weak for you, but don't hold back~. Crush them all completely~! The only reason why we are playing this silly little game is to crush Richard's pride into bits and pieces~."
In the clubroom, everyone was at Richard's desk, looking at a map of the entire school campus. "The enemy's new base is in the new schoolhouse. It'd be quicker to go there through the school yard, but..."
"We would be in plain sight," Kabu finished for him.
He nodded at him. "Indeed, making that path too risky."
"How about we approach the new schoolhouse from the back, across the track field?" Issei suggested.
"They will probably expect that, Isa. I expect Risa's nimble rooks and knights to be placed around this clubhouse."
"A classic yet foolproof tactic," Akihiko described.
Yumi looked at the King. "President." She paused to point at the gym in the map. "I suggest we take the gym first, which is between the old and new schoolhouse. It's closer to our base and it would help keep the enemies in check."
"Ah, like the center of a chessboard," Richard stated. "Taking it first would give us a tactical advantage." He nodded. "Alright, it's decided." He looked up to everyone. "It's indoors, so the power of a rook would be more better suited than a knight's mobility." Kabu nodded, understanding his command.
"I never knew fighting would be this difficult," Asher whispered to Issei.
She looked up at him and smiled reassuringly. "We just need to believe the President and follow his orders, Asher-kun."
He smiled back at her, a bit of red on his cheeks. "You're right, Issei-san."
Richard crossed his hands. "Alright, first, we need to secure the defensive line," he said before looking at Yumi and Kabu. "Yumi, Kabu, I need you two to go set up traps in the forest, understood?"
"Yes, sir," the Knight replied.
"Roger," the shouta said as he held his hand out, revealing a blue magic circle. "Let's go, Shiro." The white cat appeared and climbed on top of his head, sitting on it.
"We'll take our leave then." The two of them then exited the room.
The red-haired male then looked at Akihiko. "Akihiko, once the traps are set, use illusionary magic on the forest and the sky above it."
He bowed to him. "As you wish, President," he replied as he left the room as well.
"What should WE do then, President?" asked Issei. There's got to be a reason why she and Asher were the last ones, right?
Richard looked at Asher. "You are the recovery and support, Asher, so be on standby with me here," he ordered the blonde-haired guy. He then walked around the desk. "It would be pointless of you to go out there and get knocked out."
Asher sighed that he was of no use other than healing, but nodded and replied, "Yes, sir."
The crimson-haired man then looked at the female pervert. "Isa," he said.
"Y-yes, sir?" she replied, her body becoming still like a soldier's.
He sat down on the couch and patted his lap. "Come lie here on my lap," he ordered her in a gentle voice. The girl's face burned red while the former priest looked aghast at his order for her.
"W-w-wait! C-could this be the legendary...lap pillow?" she asked, imaginary steam coming out of her ears.
"We don't have all the time, Isa," he said to her.
She bowed down to him. "Thank you very much!"
...
Issei began to lie down on his lap, gasping and feeling the sensation it gave her. His thighs felt so nice and she could feel his bulge behind her head. What a wounderful feeling... she thought, imagining Richard bare naked, showing his pecs, abs, and well-sculpted legs. It feels so tender and so rich...yet it envelops me in a... She remembered what the hell was happening. She cried tears of joy and exclaimed, "B-but we're in the middle of an important game, President! This is so unbelievable..."
Richard, who was blushing a little, looked down at her, patted her hair, and asked, "Isa, why are you crying?"
"I...I'm just so happy that I get to rest my head on your lap! I'm so moved to tears that they can't stop flowing! I'm so glad I was born!"
He chuckled at her. She looked up at him, seeing his face and his outlined chest. "You're exaggerating, Isa. I can always be your lap pillow."
"R-really?!"
"Yes. Now calm down and stop sniffling."
Asher, who was watching them from across the couch, blushed and scowled. He WANTED to be Issei's lap pillow, but the President had to offer first. He had great thighs- at least, he thought-so, he could be her lap pillow. He just wanted her to be on his lap instead of Richard's.
"Isa, I'll release the spell cast upon you, just a little," the King said to her. She looked up, puzzled. What did he mean by that?
Eye Catch #19: Kabu is on his knees on the floor, his butt up in the air and his upper body down, supported by his elbow. He wore a pair of tight gray briefs and his fighting gloves. His chest and small bulge are shown. The briefs are showing his butt cheeks. He's running three of his fingers of his free hand on his left butt cheek. His mouth is open and he's blushing, as if he were surprised.
Alright, what do you think?
