Chapter 62: Jealousy and Lemonade
Soon Adrian, Kiba, Damon and Issei were back in the male changing room, but now they were joined by Rias, Akeno and Katrina.
"So let me get this straight, Isseis' Gear arm is acting up because all the different amounts of power he's been around?" Asked Damon.
"More or less," said Issei, clutching his misshapen arm in pain.
"I'm afraid there's not much we can do about it I'm afraid," said Rias, shaking her head. Damon stiffled a laugh,
"You could always have Akeno suck the excess power out of you again." Akeno giggled at Damons' wordplay, while Katrina gave the white haired devil a glare,
"Suck what out again?"
"He means Akeno sucking the power that is making his arm morph like that out through his fingers," Adrian quickly explained, trying to keep Issei and Damon from getting killed by Katrina. She "hmmphed" at Damon, and left the room, followed all except Issei and Akeno.
"Don't worry Katrina, I wouldn't do anything you wouldn't want me to do!" Akeno said convincingly to the Goddess of War. Katrina sighed, her concern not leaving her.
Soon the remaining ORC members were scrubbing away at the floor of the drained pool, removing any and all debries with shop brooms and high pressure water hoses. Amidst the scrubbing, Katrina paused, trying to calm herself down.
Why am I getting so pissed off at Issei all of a sudden? She thought to herself.
"You alright?" Asked Adrian, seeing one of his closest friends clearly upset. She turned to the Devil Virus, broom in her hands,
"Am I wrong for getting concerned about Akeno and Issei?" She asked. Adrian furrowed his eyebrow,
"Seriously?" Damon overheard her question, and began laughing loudly,
"Akeno wouldn't bang the Harem Heathan, no matter how much she misses riding dick," scoffed the white haired devil. His response was then met with several shouts from his present classmates, and a silent Katrina, eyes shadowed by her hair.
"Damon, THAT was uncalled for!" Scolded Rias, "Now apologize to Katrina!" Damon rolled his eyes, and turned to the Goddess,
"Katrin-AH!" Damons' head was sent to the side as he fell to the floor of the pool, with Katrina holding the broom handle in her hands, the end dripping blood after it collided with Damons head.
"Speak of Akeno like that again, and this broom will be going where the sun doesn't shine!" Damon picked himself up, wipeing the blood dripping from his mouth.
"I was going to say 'I'm sorry' because even I thought I went too far with my shit," he said truthfully, "But now I'm going to say you, and everyone else here, needs to cool down, and as soon as we are done with cleaning the pool, I know just how we are going to do it." Damon resumed with cleaning the pool, as did everyone else, and soon Issei and Akeno joined them, with Akeno blushing intensly and Issei paleing like he had just seen a ghost. Katrina looked at them suspiciously,
"Everything alright?" Akeno giggled at Katrina,
"Everything is fine. Nothing to get upset about, even though you make such cute faces when you get jealous."
Soon the pool was clean, everyone had changed into their swimsuits, and Akeno had just finished filling the pool. As this happened, Damon created a large magic circle by the corner of the pool next to the changing rooms, summoning a large tiki style bar.
"Here is what we need to chill out!" He said with a laugh. He dived behind the bar, the rattle of bottles clanking and drinks being poured being heard, and soon he was setting drink after drink on the bar, calling out names as he did so. "Katrina! Akeno! Rias! Asia! I got you girls your drinks ready! Everyone else, come on up and place your order!" Katrina was the first to approach the bar, dressed in a two piece blood red bikini, snatching her drink off the bar as she went. Her drink in question was a pink liquid with ice cubes and a lemon garnish on the side. She looked to Damon,
"What is it?"
"Pink lemonade," Damon answered honestly. She scowled at him, and cautiously took a sip of her drink, and to her surprise, no alcoholic burn in her mouth. Akeno joined her, dressed in a two piece as well, but hers was lavender and maroon, and she was given a pink lemonade as well, sipping her generously,
"Delicious Damon, thank you!" She then hooked her arm under Katrinas' and pulled her away so they could swim. Rias and Asia were next, dressed in a white two piece and navy blue one piece respectively.
"Pink lemonade? Nonalcoholic? That's uncharacteristically kind of you," said the red haired she-devil.
"It's nice to have on a warm day like this," Asia said, taking a small sip of her drink. Rias drank hers as well, and they both left the bar. Soon Adrian and Issei approached the bar,
"What is with the lemonade?" Asked Adrian. The devil virus was dressed in red and black swim trunks, with a white towel draped over his head, acting as a hood.
"Hey, I'm not going to complain, so long as he doesn't kiss you again," said Issei with an awkward laugh. Both Damon and Adrian glared at Issei, and the pervert shut his mouth. The former hunter locked eyes with Issei, lifted a glass full of blue liquid with a lemon garnish out from behind the bar and set it in front of Issei,
"Blue raspberry lemonade, now fuck off." Issei obediantly took the drink and briskly walked away.
"You spiked his drink, didn't you?" Asked Adrian.
"With Viagra," Damon smugly grinned. Adrian turned to Damon, a finger raised,
"I just want this to go on record, that we never acknowledge what happened in the changing room." Damon gave Adrian a confused look,
"What happened in the changing room?"
"Exactly." Damon shook his head, lifting a tall glass out from behind the bar, filled with a red liquid, almost as red as Rias' hair, and topped with a lime wedge,
"Cherry limeade for the Devil Virus, because I thought it would suit you." Adrian took his drink, thanked Damon, and walked away. Next up was Koneko, dressed in a swimsuit that matched Asias', complete with a white swim cap. "Hello Koneko, you are looking adorable today." Koneko blushed at the compliment, "What can I get for you?" She tried to mask her blush with her usual blank expression,
"Are all of your drinks today nonalcoholic?" Damons' face grew stern,
"Yes, because I would rather not have anyone getting shitfaced and drowning in the pool. Trust me." Koneko blinked, and looked away,
"Sounds like you speak from experience," Damon sighed, and this time he looked away,
"More than you know." Both of them slowly looked back at each other, and Koneko blushed once again.
"Do you have any strawberry lemonade?" Damon slowly ducked behind his lemonade bar, the sound of glasses clanking and liquids pouring being heard. He then rose up, sliding a pinkish red drink to the short she-devil,
"One strawberry lemonade." Koneko took the drink, thanking him, and walked away, smiling out of his line of sight. Kiba then made his way to the lemonade bar, dressed in the school swimsuit and carrying a swim cap and goggles.
"Hey uh, Damon?" He began quietly, "I was just wondering because I was concerned, but how were you planning on getting Adrian, Rias and Asia together?" Damon gave the knight a twisted grin,
"Don't ask..." he then lifted a glass full of bright green limeade out from behind the bar, "...and don't drink the pink fucking lemonade..." He took a long drag from his drink as Kiba looked to the girls drinking the exact same drink Damon said not to, consisting of Rias, Asia, Katrina and Akeno, all emptying their glasses.
"That was delicious Damon, thank you," Rias called out gratefully, and soon the others were thanking him for the drinks as well.
"Anytime ladies and gents!" Called Damon, stepping out from behind his lemonade bar, dressed in brown sandles, a green speedo and an open white button up shirt, his drink in hand, "Anytime!" Kiba pinched the bridge of his nose, and placed his swim cap and goggles on,
"I don't know what you did Damon, but I hope you are prepared for the consequences." Kiba then dived into the pool, beginning to swim some laps.
Consequences, smonsequences, he thought to himself, when that Lady Era kicks in, no one is even going to remember I exist. So all I really have to do is make sure Kiba keeps his mouth shut, keep Koneko busy and...wait, where the hell is Xenovia? Damon looked around, not seeing the blue haired girl anywhere. Instead, Rias and Koneko were walking up to him, setting their lemonade on the bar,
"Damon, can you do me a favor?" Asked Rias. Koneko turned away, blushing out of embarrassment as Damon looked between the two.
Shit, don't tell me that pill already kicked in! He internally screamed to himself, but he responded calmly, "Depends on what kind of favor..."
