Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!
Eye Catch #48: Grace is sitting on the checkered floor like she fell on it. She is only wearing her black socks and shoes, looking absolutely embarrassed. She's covering her small breasts with her arms, the undersides of her butt exposed. She has her bat wings out.
Episode #10: Various Three-Way Deadlocks!-Part 3
At night, Issei, Asher, and Grace were outside, the reverse trap using her power to keep a ball frozen in the air. The two other devils were next to a stand where the balls were in. Raissei was there too. They were impressed by Grace, smiling. "Alright, you can stop now!" Issei called out to her. She let the ball down and she sighed in relief.
"You can do it every twenty tries now," Asher stated, still smiling.
She nodded. "Yeah, that's what I call a great improvement!" Grace smirked and looked confident. She knew she could do it somehow. "Asher, next one!" Now that confident look disappeared, being replaced with a shocked one. The blonde-haired male handed her a ball and she positioned her arm to throw it. "Here I go, Grace-chan!"
She shook off her shocked look and replied, "Come at me!" She threw it, but the ball hit the cross-dressing girl, knocking her into the ground and having her foot up. Both of the devils looked shocked at this.
"Grace-chan!" Asher exclaimed.
"Issei-senpai...I'm getting tired..." the blonde-haired girl stated in a whiny voice, wincing at the pain across her face as she put her foot down.
The female pervert shook her head at her. "No, Grace-chan! Don't give up! We have to make our dream come true!" The reverse trap sat up when she said that. "Let's try our very best and work hard to achieve it, Grace-chan!"
Grace smiled, feeling encouraged. "Issei-senpai..."
"I need you to hurry up and be able to use your powers!" She then had grabby hands as she imagined a few handsome students frozen. "I wanna be able to grope all the guys I like! Please understand, Grace-chan! I'm hardening my heart for you, my dear junior!"
The reverse trap smirked again and smiled. "Right, Issei-senpai! I'll do my very best!"
Issei then walked to her, the two girls now hugging each other. "Grace-chan!"
"Issei-senpai!"
Asher smiled at the scene, feeling heart-warmed. "Wow, they have such a moving scene," he said happily.
The female pervert then walked back to grab another ball and threw it up in the air to hit it. "Now, let's go!"
"Yes, Issei-senpai!" Grace then used her power...to stop Issei's hand from hitting the ball. The brown-haired girl looked shocked as well as Asher as the ball dropped to the ground.
"Uh, Grace-chan...you weren't supposed to freeze my arm..."
She knew this well, unfreezing her arm and groaning. She placed her hands on her temples and sat on the ground. "UGH! I'm so sorry! I can't believe I messed up AGAIN!"
Issei didn't want the girl to kick herself down, so she replied, "Don't worry about it." She looked up at her, feeling a little less upset. "You're messing up less, so that's good. Remember when you first froze my whole body?"
She did, nodding and sighing. "I'm just not a good devil or vampire...I'm just causing trouble for everyone."
There she was, kicking herself down again. Well, Issei wasn't going to have it. "Grace-chan!"
"Yes?"
"Just don't think about it!" Her eyes widened, wondering what she meant by that. "If you stop and think about it, you'll lose! Instead of just moping about it, just face it head-on! That way, it's easier and better to understand!"
"Just don't...think about it?" she asked. She had done that all her life, but that suggestion? It sounded odd to her...
"I like you and so does Asher-kun," she continued, looking at the former priest. "Right?"
"Of course!" he replied as he and Raissei approached her. He crouched down to her. "Grace-chan."
"Uh, yeah?"
He gave her a warm smile and placed his hands on her shoulders. "I like you too!"
She blushed a little at that statement. "R-really?"
He nodded as Issei replied, "We're both in the same club and household!" She felt so happy. For the first time in a long time, she felt like she fit in, like she was one of them instead of an outcast. She loved it.
She smiled once again and stood up, happily saying, "Issei-senpai, Asher-senpai, I will work hard and try my very best!" She pumped her fist into the air.
Issei smiled. "Now that's that spirit!"
Grace then got out...her bag mask and put it on, an imaginary red glint appearing in the holes. "Then I'll wear this and power up!"
The female pervert got goosebumps just seeing her like that, so she replied, "Uh, no, can you please take that off? It's creepy..." She will never get used to that, ever.
"I'm rooting for you two, Issei-san, Grace-chan!" Asher said to the two of them for encouragement.
Issei pumped her fist in the air. "See, Grace-chan? A cute guy like him is cheering you on! Go for it!" Asher did blush when she called him cute.
Grace nodded. "I will. Thanks, Asher-senpai!"
...
Meanwhile, Yumi, Xenos, and Kabu were watching them from an open window. The blonde-haired beauty looked at the two guys and asked, "You two aren't participating?"
"For some reason, Grace runs away from me like I'm a monster," the blue-haired male replied, crossing his arms and leaning against the window sill. He sighed. "I tried my best to train her hard."
"I've seen Issei-senpai like this before," Kabu stated, the two looking at him with curiosity.
"Really?"
The white-haired shouta nodded. "It was during training camp." A flash of her lecherous face there appeared in his mind. "She was trying to come up with that awful finishing move."
Xenos raised an eyebrow. "You mean her Clothing Break?" He nodded again. Xenos looked closely at her face. It did look lecherous.
...
"Come on, Grace-chan~! Let's make our dream come true! 100 more balls!" she shouted out to her. The reverse trap sweat-dropped. Though she did like her, she still was weird. Still, she was the best.
"Okay, come at me!" she shouted back at her.
...
Yumi face-palmed while both of the guys looked concerned for Grace. They all were, to be honest...
...
"By the way, Issei-san?" Asher asked the female pervert before she threw a ball. "What is this dream you and Grace-chan have?" She froze when he asked that question. It wasn't exactly something to share-
"Oh, it's when all the guys in school will be-" the short-haired girl began to answer before Issei ran to her and covered her mouth, surprising her. Now she was saying things through her mouth in protest.
"I can't say that yet..." she answer, nervously giggling. The blonde-haired male did look concerned, but decided to let it go.
The perverted girl sighed, thinking, I'm not really in that position to teach anyone though. I still have a lot to learn...if only I had a mentor that knew about Sacred Gears that can teach me the ways... She had yet to find that person.
On top of a building under construction, Azalea sat criss-crossed on a bar and looking at the city, being bright with all its lights on. The wind blew her hair...and Valina's as well. The silver-haired female was standing up and leaning against a vertical bar, also looking at the city. "Azalea, do I have to be at the summit tomorrow?" she asked her.
"Of course you will, Valina," the woman answered. "You are the White Dragon Empress, after all."
Her face looked serious. "Azalea, do you believe that there will be another war?"
The fallen angel chuckled. "Ah, typical for a girl like you to say that, what with the fact that you're possessed by a dragon. You might die young, you know?"
Valina scoffed and stopped leaning against the bar. "I'm fine with that. I don't plan on living long." Her hair shone in the moonlight as it was continued to be blown by the wind. "I just believe that I have the misfortune to be born at this time, a time where God is dead. I always wanted to try and defeat God myself."
Azalea scoffed as well. "And that's why you're the White Dragon Empress."
"I have no interest in a world as boring as this." There was that girl, Hyoudou Issei, but she felt her power. It was low, she could possibly beat her in a few seconds. But, maybe, just maybe...if she had been pushed to the limit...
The next evening, the entire Kuoh Academy campus was sealed by a barrier, no one outside being able to get in. The peerage were in the clubroom, Richard standing before his servants. "Now, let's get going," he said to them.
"Yes, President!" Issei replied to him.
He then looked over at the box Grace was in and said, "Grace, be a good girl while we're gone."
"Okay, sir," she replied.
"If something does shock you, it'll activate your power, so it'll be trouble. Please understand that."
She popped out of the box and replied, "Yes, sir, I understand."
He gave her a smile. "Kabu will stay with you. Is that fine?" He looked at the white-haired boy.
He nodded at him. "Yes, President," he answered.
Issei decided to walk to Grace and crouch down to her. "Grace-chan, be good and be safe," she said as she gave her a handheld game console. "I'll let you borrow this so you can pass the time."
Her eyes lit up at the sight of it before looking up at her. "Thanks, Issei-senpai!"
Kabu set a box of food on the table. "I have also gotten us snacks, Gracie-chan," he stated.
She liked that sight of that. "Thanks, Kabu-kun!"
Issei sweat-dropped at the sight of that, however. I think those are just for him... she thought before getting out Grace's paper bag with a smile on her face. "Here, just in case you get bored or scared or something, you can put this on as much as you want."
She nodded and took the bag from her. "Thanks again!"
"No problem!" Well...though I say that, I don't know how much I can really do... She then saw the girl start up the handheld game console and browsing through the dating sims she had. But I'll do something for her, for Grace-chan!
Afterwards, the peerage arrived, Richard knocking on the door and saying, "Excuse us." He then opened the door. As they got in, they all saw Sirzeca, Grafier, Seranfall, Sora, Tsutomu, Michael, Irving, Azalea, and Valina. Sirzeca was wearing a white dress with a black puff between the collars. It covered her feet. Seranfall wore formal attire that was shades of dark green. His hair was still in a slim ponytail. Azalea now wore a magenta-red collared shirt, unbuttoned a little and showing off her cleavage, tight black pants, and black high-heeled boots. Michael still dressed the same and so did Irving, wearing his cape, and Valina.
Xenos looked at the chestnut-haired male with wide eyes. "Irving..." he muttered, surprised to see him there. He only looked at him in disgust and looked away from him. He frowned, knowing why he did that.
Issei gasped when she saw her arch-rival there. She looked back at her with a smirk. Asher looked worried about the female pervert. That girl did annoy her before...
"Let me introduce you," Sirzeca stated as Richard's peerage stood right next to Sora and Tsutomu. "This is my little brother and his household. They fought against Kokabiel the other day."
Michael smiled at them and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. Please allow me to express my gratitude once more."
"I must apologize for that," the fallen angel leader stated, leaning her cheek against her fist. "One of my ladies caused you some trouble and that was unnecessary."
Issei clicked her tongue, not liking the tone she spoke that in. "What kind of attitude is that?" she muttered.
"Well, I believe all of the participants are here," the blonde-banged woman continued.
"Then let us begin the meeting," the red-haired woman said.
Outside of the meeting room, the entire campus were protected by angels, fallen angels, and devils altogether.
Later, Richard and Sora were done with their presentation. "And that is all of the details of the incident my household and I were in," the red-haired male said.
"And I, Sora Sitri, bear witness that the events in his report were true," the guy with the glasses said.
"Thank you both," Sirzeca stated. "You two may step down."
"Congrats, Richard-kun, Sora-kun!" Seranfall commented. Sora tensed up at the compliment, but decided to let it go as he and his friend got back against the wall.
The crimson-haired female then turned to Azalea. "I would like to hear your opinion on this report, Governor-General."
"It doesn't matter what I think," she answered her, rubbing her now magenta-painted nails. "Kokabiel was acting on her own."
The beautiful angel looked at her. "Do you mean that you had no idea?" she asked her.
She smirked, looking up at all of them. "Well, I let her move until I knew what she was planning." She paused to chuckle. "But I'll bet that she didn't know that I infiltrated this town." She then looked at the female pervert teasingly. "This is a pretty nice town, after all." Issei clenched her fists and looked more upset at her. The way she condescendingly talks...it just pissed her off to no end!
"Please do not change the subject," Sirzeca warned.
"Come on, I had the White Dragon Empress take care of her, didn't I?" She then pointed back at Valina. "She's now put into eternal freezing in the lowest part of Hell as punishment. She won't getting out anytime soon."
"The real problem is the motivation for Kokabiel's actions," Michael stated. "Kokabiel has shown to be dissatisfied with you all."
She nodded. "Right, she was pretty pissed off when the war ended halfway through. And when you're this late into the game like me, you'd have no interest in war, capisce?"
Seranfall looked very serious. "The 'seeds of discontent', huh?" he asked her.
She scoffed at him. "Don't you have some in your factions as well?" Now he looked angry at her.
"That has nothing to do with the matter at hand," Sirzeca stated, also looking very serious. "The purpose of this summit is-"
"Yeah, yeah, enough with the fancy words," the fallen angel interrupted. "Let's just make peace, right here, right now." Richard and his entire peerage gasped in surprise. She wanted peace that quickly? "That's all we're really here for, correct?" Everyone was silent. She was right...
Back in the clubroom, Grace was still in her box on the couch and was playing a dating sim. Kabu sat next to her, eating one of the snacks, which was a chocolate bar. She saw a CG picture of a guy she was pursuing and the protagonist making out. She looked shocked to see that. "Whoa, whoa, hold on!" she cried out. "That quick?! Jeez, I haven't even known you for that long!" She sighed, looking away from the screen for a second. "I wonder if everyone's going to be okay...what if there was a breakdown in the summit, then war starts then and there...?" That worry kept, especially when it came to Issei. She hoped everyone will be alright.
"Just play that awful game, Gracie-chan-" Kabu said before he sniffed and sensed something. He looked at the door with a serious face. He didn't feel a good presence...
Outside, a bunch of cloaked men hovered on their magic circles to the old schoolhouse, sensing both Grace and Kabu in there. On top of their hoods was a large eye. One of them grinned, knowing Grace specifically was in there.
Done with the episode! How was this? Any typos or mistakes in any of the chapters?
Also, I keep forgetting, but I'm going to respond to merendinoemiliano. So, merendinoemiliano, I'll say this as nice as I can. Unlike my Her Knight series, this is a x Harem fanfic because that's how the anime goes. I've said in the description that this is just the genderbent version of the anime. Whatever happens in the anime will happen here 98% of the time. If Issei's going to have a harem, so will his female counterpart with the males. I don't usually write x Harem fanfics because I honestly find them samey and overrated. This is an exception because I'm adapting the anime. Hope you understand. :)
Now, with that said, review, follow, favorite, and I'll see you guys in the next episode! :D
