Here's the next chapter! Enjoy! Also, there will be an announcement in the end!

Eye Catch #30: Asher is laying on his back the checkered floor, naked and with his wings out. His semi-sculpted chest is exposed as one of his wings covered his penis. He's holding one of them. He's blushing and looks aroused.

Episode 1: Once Again, A Bad Feeling!-Part 3

Issei entered inside and sat on one of the couches. It was super comfy. "Wow, this place is amazing..." she murmured as she looked around. The room was big and well-lit, but not bright. She had two other couches and pieces of art like vases and a painting. She looks like a foreigner, but I wonder what she does for a living? she thought.

She saw the woman come back with a plate full of drinks, alcoholic drinks. "You wanna drink, missy?" she asked her.

She shook her head. "Uh, no thanks," she replied. "I'm still a minor and all..."

The woman walked to the table and sat on another couch across her. "Awww, and I thought I would have a drinking buddy." She shrugged. "Oh well." She began pouring herself a drink.

"Was THAT your request?" Issei asked her.

"Is that so bad?" she replied with a question.

She shook her head again. "No, no, the contracts are formed when I fulfill your requests and receive a fitting compensation."

The woman sighed, adjusting the flower on her ear a bit. "All I have is sake. Will ice water suffice?" The girl nodded as the woman got out a large ice and put it in a glass.

...

As the girls were drinking and talking, the woman was enjoying herself, way too much. She began laughing, being so drunk out of measure. "Wow," she said. "Your magic is so weak that you have to ride your bike to your clients' homes?"

"Uh, well, yeah..." she replied.

"How hilarious!" She continued laughing.

She sighed. I have to put up with this if I'm to ever get a contract, she thought. Still, she makes me feel angry since she's laughing at me... She then sipped her ice water.

"Oooh, that was fun," the woman said. "So, what would you like as compensation?"

"Already?" It hasn't been that long since they started drinking and talking.

"'I am a devil, so give me your soul?'" she joked.

The brown-haired girl shook her head again. "No!" she interjected. "All I did was drink with you! That won't be fitting for a contract!"

"Oh, a modest girl, aren't ya?"

She nodded. "My master's motto is 'honest billing', after all!"

"Then how about this?" the woman asked as she pointed up at the painting.

"That looks pretty expensive though," Issei commented.

"Yes, but I don't have anything suitable right now. All I got is my soul~..."

She sighed in defeat. "I'll have the painting then." Whatever she needed to do to get a contract...

Issei began riding home with the painting strapped on her back. "Well, I got a contract, at least," she said. "Strange lady, but I did it! I'll get one step closer to becoming Harem Queen!"

Suddenly, her phone rang, making her stop and open it up. There was a text. "President...?" she murmured as she read the text. It looked like she and the rest of the peerage are going on another mission.

Issei arrived at the location Richard told her in the text, which was an abandoned factory. She looked up at it. It looks bad... she thought.

"Isa, over here," Richard said to her, making her look at him. He gestured her to come, so she got off her bike, put the painting next to it, and ran to him and the rest of the peerage inside the gate. "Sorry for making you come out this late."

She shook her head at him. "Oh, no, it's fine, it's just..." she replied, trailing off as she, the red-haired man, and Asher looked at the factory from a distance. "Inside there is..."

"There are no mistakes about it," Kabu stated. "I can smell a rogue devil in there."

"We've been given orders to exterminate it before daylight," Richard added, smirking. "It means the being's that dangerous. Fighting it inside would be a disadvantage for us all." His smirk disappeared as he looked down at Asher. "Ash, you watch the rear."

The former priest nodded at him. "Yes, sir," he replied.

He then looked at the rest. "Akihiko and I will be ready outside, so Isa, Kabu, and Yumi, try to draw the enemy out."

"Yes, President~," replied Akihiko.

"Yes, sir," Kabu also replied.

"Roger that!" Issei replied. "Boosted Gear!" She then summoned her gauntlet, bow, and arrow.

However, Yumi was looking down at the ground, sulking about the picture she saw earlier. Haunting memories were coming to her, so she didn't listen to the plan at all.

"Yumi?" Richard asked with a concerned look.

That broke her out of her sulking as she looked at him and gripped the grip of her sword. "Y-yes, I understand, President," she replied. That caused him to feel more concerned about her.

"Then let's go inside, Kiba and Kabu!" Issei said to the two of them as she headed inside.

"Yes," said Kabu as he followed her.

"Yeah," said Yumi as she also followed her.

When they left, Richard couldn't help but have a sinking feeling that something will go wrong, especially with how Yumi was being...

With Kabu punching the large metal doors down, the three went inside, with Issei muttering, "You always have to do that suddenly, don't you?" All but Yumi, who went back to sulking, looked around to find the rogue demon. "I don't see anything." She then saw Kabu stop, which made her and Yumi stop. "Kabu-kun?"

"It's here," he stated. She saw what he saw behind a set of pipes: a bishounen boy around her age with short gray hair and no clothes, showing his average chest. She gasped and blushed, loving the sight of a cute guy naked. He then fell down, getting onto his knees and looking down. He then looked at the three with crazed eyes and sharp teeth, screeching as he grew a horn and an insect-like body, jumping up.

The female pervert yelped a little. "Great! He's a monster after all!" she shouted as she got into fighting position, pointing her arrow at it as it crawled on the ceiling to them.

"Boost!" shouted her gauntlet as it glowed.

The shouta looked at the busty girl. "Yumi-senpai, please," he said. She didn't answer him due to her sulking, so he repeated in a louder voice, "Yumi-senpai!"

Breaking out of her sulking, she focused and said, "Right, sorry." She then looked for where the beast would be. It shot out web silk from behind, one of the drops hitting Kabu's shoulder, making him fall on his butt. Yumi gasped. The silk began burning his clothes away, his burn mark on his shoulder and part of his average chest shown.

Mad, the female pervert ran in front of the white-haired boy and yelled, "You'll pay for that, bastard!" She pointed her arrow at it again as it got off of the ceiling and her gauntlet shouted, "Boost!" and "Explosion!" She then had the arrowhead emit a small amount of power as she shouted, "Dragon Shot!" She shot the arrow at it as it took a hit, screaming, but still standing. She gritted her teeth. "Damn it, I didn't power up enough." She then looked at Yumi angrily. "Why are you zoning out, princess?!" Yumi gasped again. She had to do something instead of standing around.

She took out her sword, ran to it with a battle cry, and chopped off one of its arms, blood gushing out of it. However, once Yumi stopped to take a breath, it got behind her and got her from behind, making her scream. Issei looked shocked. "Kiba!" she yelled.

Kabu then grabbed its arm and broke, making it scream and drop Yumi. She tried to breathe since its hold was crushing. Kabu then flung it to the ceiling window, murmuring, "Blast off." It broke it, the moonlight shining on Kabu's nipple. Now, exposed to the outside, Richard and Akihiko were waiting. He smirked at the sight of it as he said, "Akihiko."

The raven-haired man was in his shrine outfit, his wings out and him in the air with his hand up to conduct electricity. "Yes, President~," he replied as he summoned the electricity and shocked it, leaving it burnt as it hit the ground. The crimson-haired man began walking to it.

"You malicious devil, leaving your master and running wild to do what you want," he said to it. "For such a crime, you deserve death a thousand times over." He then stopped in front of it, letting his left hand out and his other on his waist. "In the name of the Marquess of Gremory, I'll blast you away!" His free hand then had a large magic circle on it. He turned around, his bulge moving to it, and summoned a pair of dark crimson rays, landing on the beast and having it screech very loud.

The three managed to get outside, Kabu and Issei getting close to the action. "Yeah!" the perverted girl interjected cheerfully.

Akihiko landed next to the two of them, looking at the aftermath with them. "His heart was completely lost," he said to the two of them in a serious tone. "You could barely call him a devil."

The brown-haired girl shivered at the thought of becoming one of those. "I hope I don't become one of those things..."

"That required a massive elimination order."

Asher finally appeared, coming from the rear, and looked at Kabu, who was covering his burn mark. "Kabu-san, do you need any healing from your wound?" he asked him.

The boy nodded. "That'd be appreciated, thanks," he replied. Asher then came to him and began healing his burn mark, his nipple show in the green light as the mark disappeared. As he stopped healing, everyone heard a slap, seeing that Richard did it to Yumi.

"I'm sorry, Yumi, but have you opened your eyes a little?" he scolded her, the girl looking pained."One little mistake could put someone else in danger."

Yumi took a deep breath and looked up at him with pained eyes. "I'm sorry. I'll never do it again," she said to him.

With a worried look, Richard put his hands on her shoulders. "What's wrong with you? This is not like you."

"I'm sorry...I guess I'm having an off-day today," she replied to him, sounding sorrowful as she bowed to him. "Please excuse me." She then began to leave the scene, leaving everyone pained to see her so...sad.

"Yumi..." Richard whispered worriedly.

Issei felt bad for the blonde-haired beauty, so she decided to go to her and stop her by grabbing her shoulder. "Kiba!" she shouted at her. "Seriously, what's up with you today, treating President like that?"

"It has nothing to do with you," Yumi coldly answered.

"We're all worried about you, including me!"

She scoffed. "Worried? Who's worrying about whom?" That left her fellow female comrade confused. "Originally, devils are selfish beings."

"What are you talking about?"

"Sorry. I'm just rambling. I'm wrong. I'll see you later." She then began to leave again.

"Wait a second!" Yumi stopped on her tracks. "If there's something you're worried about, you can talk to me about it! Aren't we friends?!"

Yumi sighed once again. She wasn't wrong, but... "Friends? You're really passionate, Issei-chan," she replied as she looked at her. "But I remembered something basic today."

"Something basic?"

"The reason for why I'm...living, and why I'm fighting."

"Well, you're fighting for the President, right?"

"That's not it." She then faced her body towards Issei. "I'm living...for revenge."

"Revenge? For what?"

"The reason why I'm living and fighting is to remove the holy sword, Excalibur." She gasped. Excalibur? Without anything else to say, the busty girl walked away. Issei was dumbfounded. She needed something more elaborate. What about that holy sword?

Later that night in her room, Issei and Asher were sitting on her bed and listening to Richard, who was sitting on a rolling chair, as he explained, "Holy swords are the worst weapons devils can die from. One touch from it will burn a devil's skin, a cut will kill one instantly." Both of them looked shocked. "A holy sword can annihilate a devil."

"What a scary weapon..." Issei muttered.

"On the other hand," he continued. "The fact that those who wield them are extremely limited is one of its biggest weaknesses." He then rested his chin on his fist. "That's why the church thought of raising people artificially to use Excalibur, a holy sword. That was called the Holy Sword Project."

"The Holy Sword Project?"

"Weird, I've never heard of that while I was in the church," Asher added.

"It's probably because it was in the past and that it failed completely."

Still outside in the darkness, Yumi looked at the old schoolhouse with a pained expression on her face, thinking about her past.

"I see..." Issei murmured.

"Yumi is...one of the survivors."

It started raining, but she didn't care. It could hide the tears that were about to come.

"Wh-what?!" both Issei and Asher exclaimed.

"K-Kiba-san is..." Asher said in a shocked voice.

As it started raining, the blonde-haired girl began to leave, sniffling.

Issei suddenly gasped, puzzling both of the boys.

"Isa? What is it?" the red-haired man asked her.

"W-wait a minute," she said as she got up to get one of the photobooks from her parents.

...

When she got it, she showed the picture of her and the other girl when they were younger with the holy sword in the background. "Kiba looked at this picture and said that sword is a holy sword."

"Eh?" questioned Asher.

Richard looked at the picture keenly. "It's not as powerful as Excalibur..." he answered. "But that is a holy sword, there's no mistaking it."

Issei frowned. "And that was when she started acting weird."

"To have it so close to Issei-san..." the blonde-haired guy mumbled.

Issei then remembered something. "I remember now!" She pointed at the other girl in the picture. "This girl's family invited me to go to church with them a number of times!"

"That explains a lot," Richard replied. "I understand now why the predecessor here is gone now, but..." He then became silent from a bit.

"President?" the female pervert asked him.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Look at the time," he replied to her as he stood up from the chair and...took off his belt. "We should all probably go to bed." Both Issei and Asher looked shocked as he was undressing.

"Pr-President!" the brown-haired girl exclaimed. "Wh-why are you taking your clothes off here?!"

"Why? I thought you knew, Isa," he replied as he unbuttoned and unzipped his pants. "I can't sleep until I'm naked." He then took his pants off, his large bulge bouncing in his dark, semi-transparent underwear and his thighs shown. He loosened and took off his tie, then started to unbutton his shirt.

"I-I-I mean why in here?! In MY room?!"

He then turned to her. His shirt was unbuttoned all the way, showing off his sculpted chest with his abs and pecs. "Why else? I want to sleep with you, Isa." He then took off the shirt, showing his muscular arms, making her blush harder.

Asher felt very jealous, so he began undressing too, taking off his belt and unbuttoning and unzipping his pants quickly. "Th-then I'll sleep here too, with Issei-san!" he stated nervously as he took off his pants, exposing his tightie-whities hugging his average-sized bulge. Issei gasped again. Two attractive men striping in front of her...what a night!

Meanwhile, it was raining hard outside. Inside the same church Raynark and the other angels were in, two masculine figures, caped in white and one carrying a large, covered sword, walked up to the altar. The two looked around. The place looked shabby ever since the showdown with the fallen angel. "This place is in shambles," said the guy with the large sword on his back, thunder cracking in the background.

"Well, I've heard that there was a disturbance here, caused by a fallen angel and a devil," the other added.

The swordsmen sighed. "It's getting late." He then took off the hood of his cape to show his face. He had dark yellow eyes and medium-length blue hair with a turquoise streak. He looked at the other caped man. "Are you sure that we are supposed to meet here?" he asked him.

The other hooded man took his hood off, letting out his small ponytail. He had chestnut-colored hair and violet eyes...like the girl in the picture earlier...wait. "No way am I wrong, dude!" he replied in a confident voice. "I spent time here with my parents as a kid." He then showed a copy of the picture of him and Issei as children with the holy sword in the background. Thunder cracked outside again.

Outside in the pouring rain, Yumi continued walking, this time on a sidewalk, her hair and clothes wet, her top revealing her pink bra underneath. She couldn't care though. She remembered what Issei said:

"Aren't we friends?!"

I'm sorry, Issei-chan... the girl thought. I shouldn't need any friends. I don't deserve any... She then let out a tear that then became part of the rain. She kept telling herself that what she thought is true.

She suddenly stopped when she saw a nun stumbled across her way. She looked at Yumi and shouted, "H-help me!" She then fell to the ground and went limp. The blonde-haired girl could only look at her with sorrow-to-cold eyes.

"A nun..." she muttered.

"Neener, neener, yahoooo~!" sang a...familiar, crazed feminine voice as a feminine figure came out, waving a huge sword around. "It's been a while, hasn't it~?" Through her blurry vision, Yumi saw who it was. It was that crazed nun, Frieda, all in her craziness. She stopped waving the sword and rested her cheek on the blade. "I was wondering who it was~. Looks like the whorish scum of the devilish scum~!" The swordswoman went from shocked to angry in a second.

"Frieda Sellzen..." she angrily said through her teeth, clenching her fists. "Are you still hiding in this town?"

"Oh~, what a wonderful reunion~! I'm almost crying..." She then giggled in a crazed manner as Yumi summoned her sword.

"Unfortunately for you, I'm not in the best mood," Yumi replied to her in a cold manner.

Frieda laughed psychotically as she waved her sword. "Perfect~! I was getting bored of nun hunting~!" Her sword then began glowing orange, shocking Yumi.

"That light...the aura...it can't be..." she murmured, terrified.

"That's right, bitch~! You have the greatest timing~!" Frieda answered. "In return for what you did before~, let's have a little test of which is stronger~: your cursed sword shit, or my lovely holy sword, Excalibur~!" She then pointed the sword at her.

Yumi felt herself shaking, her pupils shrunk and the goosebumps she had rising. The moment the rogue nun mentioned the name, she felt frozen. But she can't be. She needed to fight! She focused on the situation at hand, hoping to win this battle.

"I will never forgive Excalibur," she muttered coldly.

Done! What do you guys think about the first episode of the second season?

During the break from this, I began rewatching another anime meant for men, but I, a straight girl, enjoy: Highschool of the Dead. I forgot how awesome the show is, despite the fanservice. That made me think of something...

"Should I or should I not make a genderbent version of this anime as well?"

I think a mixture between male ecchi and zombie-fighting will be fun to write. So I'll put up a poll and it'll stay up until September 3rd. After I'm finished with this season, should I make a genderbent Highschool of the Dead or not? The choice is up to you!

Otherwise, follow, favorite, and review! I'll see you guys in the next episode! ;D
