Two days passed since the magician's incident passed. They were waiting for any form of news from Rias but that was going to have to wait. There were other matters at hand as Ravel was still combing the documents of the Magicians. But Issei had plenty of other things on his mind. "You're still thinking about all that?" Ravel asked Issei.
"Yeah" Was all Issei could answer to that.
"Seems the name Euclid Lucifuge has caused a stir in underworld politics. More of the fact that he is alive and causing trouble."
Issei nodded at that "There has to be more to this."
"Yes, but that involves politics, something we should stay out of." Ravel breathed out heavily "We should let the government deal with that."
"If only it were that easy. Whatever he wants it's clearly after us. Just the question is what does he want from us?"
The door to the room they were in opened up "Oh you're still in here discussing your magicians?" It was Akeno of all the girls who came in.
"Ehhhhhh" Issei shrugged at that as he saw Akeno had prepared refreshments. "Ohhh tea."
"Excuse me." The next voice caught him off guard as it was Sona. She had on a dark blue lace blouse and a pair of matching jeans. Behind her was Tsubaki wearing a small black pair of hotpants and a pink fitted top. The two of them came in as a third one followed Tsubasa as she had a long thin black one-piece dress on.
"Well now. I wasn't expecting visitors but I'll gladly accept the three of you, girls." Issei said with a smile seeing them. "So what brings you to my humble abode?" He asked as he noticed as the three of them all had bags with them.
"Discussing what we should do next with Akeno. That and I would like to take with you."
Issei's smile was still a mile "I'm always open to talk, you just need to open up for me."
"I'm here as well" Issei saw a magic circle on the ceiling and out of it popped Bennia.
Sona sighed at that "Sorry about that, she wanted to come over, she's just excitable."
He waved it off "It's fine." Issei pointed at her "Keep quiet about anything that you see in here. Inside and Outside Issei are two different things."
Bennia gave a thumbs up "It's like Shangri-la in here." Her vision was full of sparkles as she was in another world.
"My Servants are doing their mage selections today." Sona said as the three of them took a seat "The three of us are already done. So we have plenty of time to kill for that day."
"Well look at you." Issei pointed at the stack of papers "That's what we still have left to widdle down. But man are they in for a surprise as I am dog shit in the magical arts. But what do you look for in a magician?"
"Results," Sona said with haste "Results for us is what matters. Can a magician perform in the expected ways? Something that isn't useful to a human might be to Devils. Business is business after all and that's what the underworld revolves around."
"Don't forget that all the Lying cheating and stealing happens as well."
"Well yes, that is par for the course."
Issei looked over at Akeno seeing her smile "What's up."
"Oh nothing, just thinking of the last time Sona was over here."
Issei had to think about that "Was that the Mario Kart time or the Magical Girl thing?"
"Wait Mario Kart?" Tsubasa asked at that.
"Yeah, Mario Kart." Issei looked at her "Let's just say she came over and looked over the controls and started doing quite well. Turns out your boss is surprisingly good at video games she's never played. The other time she was here she had to dress up in form-fitting underwear and prance around with Serafall as a Magical Girl."
"Serafall can be eccentric."
"Oh yes, she can be, Magical Girl Levi Tan." Issei waved his hand around "That weird show should tell you enough."
"Your show is no different." Tsubaki looked at him as if none of the girls could disagree. Well, Bennia is a fan of the show so she might object.
"Yeah but I punch bad guys and save the princess!" They saw Issei say that with a smile of all things.
"Let's have a change of location." Akeno said with a smile "You will enjoy it." Akeno didn't lie to Issei as after a few minutes everyone was downstairs dressed for the occasion of a poolside excursion.
Issei was out of place in the land of girls as he only had on a pair of trunks but that was all he needed as they were around a table looking at the papers. Akeno was in her sling bikini that only covered the bare minimum. Tsubaki had on a purple two-piece that wasn't too exposing but just small enough to show some skin. Tsubasa was in the same boat as she took on the solid gold color but it was very conservative when it came to coverage as it covered her ass. Sona, however, broke the mold for her at least as she also went for a two-piece swimsuit with a white base color but had a colorful print of flowers all over it. She was a bit more embarrassed to as there was a distinct lack of coverage for her midriff. "Come to think of it this is the first time any man has seen me in a swimsuit outside of my family."
Issei took in the sights that he was seeing "Sona I've seen you naked."
"I feel like I'm out of the loop." Tsubasa was surprised to hear that from Issei of all people "Context?"
He put his index finger into a circle he made with his other hand and pushed it back and forth. "Tsubaki as well."
"Well then…" Tsubasa was stunned hearing that "I knew that Tsubaki and Yumi were… but… this is all new."
The other girls however were playing in the pool they could hear the splashing around. Xenovia and Irina were acting normal as the two of them were having yet another competition this time swimming around. But what caught Issei's eye the most was a Golden Dragon floating in the water watching the girls like it was a crocodile with Ophis in his head and Rassei on top of hers forming a dragon tower.
"Say Issei what do you know of a Group called Nilrem?"
"Not much outside of there the Magicans who have been attacking us. It's not like I've had time to go out and do some research as I did on the Abyss Team."
"I see." Sona was thinking about a million things at once.
The door opened as they watched Kuroka stumble in "So tired Nya."
"Hello" Le Fay bowed as she waved at them.
Kuroka however went over to Issei and hugged him "I'm back. Heal me of my fatigue."
"Alright." He gave her hope. "Take off that Kimono and wear only a thong."
Kuroka loosened up her Kimono as she lay on him. Akeno wasn't so happy at that as she was showing some Jealousy. "So what were you doing with Vali for so long? Could have used your help here." He reached into her kimono and groped her breasts.
"Vali was attacked by Azi Dahaka and we had to back him up."
Everyone was surprised to hear that come from Kuroka. "That's another evil Dragon that was dead."
"The Dragon of Zoroastrianism killed by a hero and sealed away. That's now two dragons who should be dead but are among the living again." Sona pondered on what was happening. "Just what is this all about?"
"We were traveling around looking for Strong Foes and mysteries, but that dragon was the strongest we had faced." Kuroka said as Issei rummaged around and felt that she had on a front clasp bra and popped it open. "That Evil Dragon laughed at us as we punched and Kicked and cut him. Blood gushed out of his body and he just took it as if it was nothing. I think he was broken to the point there was a reason why he was sealed away.
"After that, a man in a silver robe appeared with another Dragon called Grendel showed up. The two dragons started fighting after that we made our escape." Le Fay said as she had taken a seat at the table with them.
"That man in the robe is Euclid Lucifuge." Issei informed her.
"Vali was more than happy to fight them like the idiot he is." Kuroka looked up at him "Don't be like them, it's nice how you are now."
Issei pinched a nipple and rolled it around "Is it because I'm getting you off? Because I already did plenty of damage Grendel before we had to leave."
"Grendel had no damage when he showed up." Le Fay said surprising them.
"Realy? I gouged out his eye and burned it to a crisp and stabbed him in the foot repeatedly."
Le Fay shook her head "No they healed them."
Sona looked at Le Fay "I would like to get some information about that fight from you later then."
"Sure" She smiled answering that.
"No more boring stuff." Kuroka tried to get away from that "What were you talking about beforehand."
"Sona's swimsuit."
Kuroka nodded at that "Yeah it's cute."
"Magician contracts." Ravel moved it back to the reality of what they were doing.
"Oh" She Le Fay raised her hand at that "I was a member of Golden Dawn. During my time there I acquired plenty of magic, and even plenty of Forbidden by the Magician organizations."
Issei chuckled hearing that "It's only forbidden if you tell them you know it. Everything else is fair game."
"The group of stray magicians that attacked us is known as Hexennacht and I can't forgive those outlaws." Ravel seemed hot about that considering the outcome of it.
"Hexennacht, yes I am aware of them. I'm not sure who their leader is but they don't like Vali as well."
Kuroka crawled up and sat on his lap while looking at the rest of the girls. "Oh Koneko is gonna be pissed at that." Issei said as the elder sister how now taken the younger sister's favorite spot.
"It will be fine."
"Is this normal for what goes on here?" Tsubasa asked seeing that it was different.
Issei peaked out from behind Kuroka "Kinda? I mean I kinda wanted to do this to Sona or Tsubaki. But if you want to take their place that's cool as well." He looked over at Sona "I never asked you but who was your first servant? I still have my box and wondering about that."
"Oh Tsubaki, I met her when I came to Japan and made her my Servant. She went through many things before I met her."
"I am quite glad that I met her." Tsubaki smiled at that.
Issei raised an eyebrow at that "Yes well let's just say Amaterasu isn't happy about the things that have happened in the Five Principal Clans. She sent me to the Kushihashi clan to look into them, luckily for them, they had their shit together for the most part unlike some of the others."
"And they just accepted you walking in there and looking around?" Sona asked him.
"Well, it was that or they are reduced to nothing. It wasn't exactly easy for them to say no when somebody bearing official documents signed by the Goddess herself. What are they going to do deny me? Sure they could but I could also just burn down the estate and go extreme if I had to. But any form of denial is taken as an admission of guilt."
"Tell me that isn't all you ever did?" Akeno asked.
Issei shook his head "No, most of the time it was learning how to fight. Demeter put me to work during her harvest." Kuroka got off his lap as she walked over to the pool and stripped off her clothing she smacked Issei in the face with her panties as she jumped into the pool nude.
"You worked for a Greek goddess?" Tsubaki asked him as Issei pulled her panties off his face.
"Yes, one of the few reasons I have the things I do." With a towel around her hair, Xenovia sat down on Issei's lap "Okay then."
"No fair!" Irina was quickly jealous of Xenovia as she got to sit on Issei's lap. She ran over to him and latched onto him hugging him from behind.
"Anyways, Demeter Goddess of the harvest required some help one year tending her fields. So I was asked for assistance in helping pull the harvest. And like a stupid child I did, at the end of the day, it was a joke and they weren't expecting me to be able to tend the whole field in a day."
"My turn." They heard Asia before she crashed into them toppling the stack of them over.
"That reminds me!" Irina popped up from the pile "We never told you what happened on our trip."
"The holy land!" Xenovia said at that.
"Oh hell, what did you do?"
Irina smiled at that. "We took a trip! To Japan's Holy land Akihabara." When the three of them got off at the train station what they saw was prime Akihabara. Stores all around that sold Electronics ads for anime and even a maid handing out fliers for the three of them it was a new experience.
All three of the girls were surprised to see that this part of Japan was far more different than the one they lived in. "This is totally different even from the underworld," Xenovia said looking around at the madness of a major city.
Asia was already lost in the sea of everything that was the sights around them. Irina however was familiar with it yet not as much. "I didn't get to come here when I lived here but it's kinda like this in England just different at the same time."
Xenovia pointed at one of the shops "On forth!"
It didn't take them long as they walked around the shop as they went floor by floor seeing things they had never seen before. One of the floors alone was all about Tv as their eyeballs were blasted with a bright array of colors that showed the progression of technology. Digital Cameras to home appliances were an information overload for them as it wasn't something they saw in the world of the church. They had TVs and computers but it was the bleeding edge of new. The life of a humble church member was far different from that of the rest of the world. But the break for them was over as they looked around at what was next on the sightseeing in the department store. What surprised them the most was a square box as they looked at it on the shelf.
"It's a bread-baking machine?" Xenovia said looking at it as all of them were shocked.
"You don't need a pot for it?" Asia alone was surprised at that "You can't have something that convenient, what about the bakers who do this?" Asia didn't know what to think of such an advancement.
"It's expensive." Xenovia saw the price tag as it read over thirty thousand yen making it close to two hundred US dollars.
"We can use this." Irina dug into her little purse and pulled out a white credit card and showed it to them. "It's Heavens Credit card, if we use the item for the good of the sheep then it should be fine." Before the two of them could say anything she pulled out her phone and dialed away and started explaining her situation. It didn't take long but Irina gave thumbs up and a smile as she hung up the phone. "They said it was okay."
Asia and Xenovia were stunned as they heard that. "Lord Michael is compassionate."
With a quick purchase and the credit card put away, they went through a stroll in the city looking to see what was else in the large city of wonders. As they walked the streets they saw a group of guys coming towards them in flashy clothes colorfully dyed hair and piercings. "Look at these girls." They heard the group leader say as he of all of them was bald. "So wanna have some fun with us?"
Asia hid behind Xenovia as this was a horrible yet attempted attempt at picking up women. "Look at the blondie she's kinda cute."
"Can't say I'm exactly interested in the likes of you." Xenovia looked at them.
"Come now it's not that bad." The first man reached for her arm.
Xenovia moved her arm out of the way so he wasn't able to get ahold of it as she flicked her hand at him smacking him in the face and knocking him to the ground. "As I said, I'm not interested in you." It didn't take long for them to figure it out as the guys ran off screaming.
"We uh did something else but I don't want to tell you about it." Irina said bringing them back to reality.
"You bought porn didn't you?" Issei asked them as if it was something he could see them doing. None of the girls could give a straight answer to that.
"They bought an eroge game." Akeno was quick to rat them out.
"Oh?" Issei was surprised to hear that.
"Was it any good?" Tsubasa asked as if the church girls were buying a porn game it had to be at least interesting.
"See she gets it." Issei gave her a thumbs up "So what was it called?"
"Life Style of a Devil Sister." Xenovia was embarrassed to even say it as Asia and Irina were tight-lipped at that.
"It seems as if they know something about you Issei that you haven't shared." Akeno goaded him on.
"It seems as if somebody has been on my computer." Issei smiled at it "Did you at least have fun?"
"Maybe."
"What chu talking about?" Kuroka asked as she got out of the pool and wrapped a towel around herself as it covered just her nipples but left everything else exposed.
"How my Harem has gotten into my crippling porn collection. Because everybody has a kink."
Kuroka nodded at that "Yes we all do."
Sona smiled at that "I heard from Rias that the three of them have been getting bolder in their advancements. Just whatever you do keep it here and not at the school."
Issei thought about that "So does that include the club room?" they saw Sona shake her head. "Don't worry we made sure to clean it up."
"Sometimes I swear, how you got Rias to be the way she surprises me."
"And your no different?"
"Mmmmh" Kuroka sat down next to them "Say you're still looking for a magician."
The door opened up and they saw Koneko and Gasper walking over to them. "Sister, you're here to train us that's why you're here. And cover up Gasper is here."
"It's okay Koneko" Gasper tried to calm down the angry kitten.
"Gaspy is just too kind to my sister like Ise."
Koneko was trying to be the strict one between them, Issei however wasn't having it as he came up with a plan. "Hey Gasper, you have seen a titty before?" Issei reached over and pulled off Kuroka's towel exposing everything that was left mind you there was much, to begin with. Gasper's face lit up as he saw a full nude Kuroka and his head looked down as Issei got a laugh out of it. "AH, that was good." He handed the towel back to Kuroka covering her with it. "If it was just me in here I'm fine with the nudity among the other girls. But do put on a swimsuit of sorts now that Gasper is here. Revealing is fine just cover the bits."
Kuroka pushed the towel in between her legs and let it cover the rest. "Fine then, but I have a request."
"That is?"
They watched her point at Le Fay. "Can you take a Look at Le Fay as a Candidate for a magician pact?"
Everyone was surprised to hear that from her and even Le Fay "Kuroka!"
The cat however didn't exactly care "She's an expert magician from a well-known family. There's nothing to lose as she's also a fan of your show." Kuroka's tails swished around at that "House Pendragon is well known and Le Fay is meant to do her duty to the house as a mage."
"But your Terrorists and that fact doesn't change. Even not as members of the Khaos Brigade that don't exactly change the fact. And I still have to look after Ise reputation. So if I were to do this I have to be strict." Ravel was blunt about it but she was right.
Kuroka faked pleading with Ravel "Oh please little birdy, what's the least that can happen?"
"My name is Ravel!" She however did not like being called little birdy.
"You know I can't be the only one who is anything but slightly curious." Issei said to Ravel and Sona while understanding Ravel's plight was no different that Issei's.
"Fine." Ravel nodded at that "I can't exactly decline such a thing if you are interested." Ravel's attention went to Le Fay. "Please answer my questions." Ravel summon up a pen and paper and started writing things down as she blurted out questions. They watched her for a few minutes as she wrote everything down and was becoming more and more puzzled at it. "This can't be…"
"What?" Issei asked her trying to get her to spit it out.
"She's above and beyond. Black, White, Norse, Fairy, pacts with Fenrir and Gogmagog. She exceeds the quality of most magicians. Yet compared to the ones we saw earlier they are small cells compared to her.
"Seems her only downside is she participated with the Khaos Brigade." Sona could see the value of the magician in front of her.
Le Fay wasn't so enthused hearing that but Kuroka laughed at that. "That may change soon."
"Explain." Sona looked at her.
"Jenny from the Block has been saying that the three factions are considering pardons for them." Issei said to that. "Mind you it's a rumor and nothing has been confirmed yet. But considering how they did help us while being terrorists at the same time I can see the logic behind it."
"Shirone your spot has been taken what are you going to do about it?" Kuroka pointed out that Xenovia was sitting in her sacred spot.
"I'll be there later, it's fine." Koneko said as she looked away while Bennia was jotting things down as she saw them.
"Well now so this is where you're hiding." They looked towards the new voice as they saw Griselda close the door behind her. "It must be nice to have a pool in the basement."
"Oh, it is so nice." Issei said that as Xenoiva sat up as did Irina as she scooched away from Issei make look like she wasn't being improper.
Griselda however snickered as she saw it all. "How are all of you? And to be sitting on a gentleman's lap at such a time, such a shameless girl."
"S-sorry" Xenovia said as she almost melted away.
"Anyways, I'm here for a few reasons." Griselda tossed a paper toward Issei "Also I heard that there would be a discussion so I figured I would join in with some others that I brought along." Behind her, two others slinked in as they took a seat on some of the chairs that were around the area. The first one was a priest with blond hair and green eyes, slightly older than them. The second was a Japanese man not much older than they were but next to him was a large dog that was almost as black as black could get.
"How do you do, I'm Dulio Gesualdo." He waved at him.
Sona had to verify what she just heard. "Joker"
"Ah yes I heard that your many wives would be here, Red Dragon Emperor."
Griselda reached over and grabbed onto Dulio's face and pulled on it. "Don't say it in such a rude way."
"And who is this other man?" Akeno asked looking at the man as she wasn't familiar with him.
"He's somebody Vali has been looking for. Slash Dog, possessor of Canis Lykaon. The only human aside from Cao Cao who can force Vali to use the Juggernaut Drive." Kuroka saw him as her tails swished around.
"Quite so, My Name is Tobio Ikuse. I am here on behalf of Azazel." He pointed down at the dog. "This is Jin, He's the Longinus itself as it is an independent type and has a mind of its own. I mainly do behind-the-scenes work and that's what I will be doing here." Irina and Xenovia were looking at the dog as they went over to it.
"Interesting that we have a Longinus possessor of beach faction here." Sona thought about it as there were all in one room.
"Tell me Red Dragon how has your training been going?" Tobio asked him.
"Training? I haven't actively trained in a while. I've been more or less teaching them."
"I see, I am interested in having a spar with you."
Issei smiled at that "I think we can do that, we have a training dimension suited just for that."
"Wait wait wait," Sona said interrupting them. "I have a Sacred Gear user in my peerage that needs some help unlocking his Balance breaker. Any chance we can fit him in with your Longinus?"
"I don't see why not?" Dulio shrugged at that "There's nothing wrong with having more strong people on our side." He looked at Sona "I believe you are speaking about the Host of Vritra?" Sona nodded at that.
"Our jobs are getting more and more dangerous as the days go on so bring anybody you deem as necessary. We can't afford to lose the Gods of the Allies as it would cause political strife. So that's why we have to rely on you children so much to use your strength."
Issei looked at Griselda "It's hypocritical yet understandable at the same time. The Gods happen to be the strongest players in the game yet made of glass when you think of it like that. But we understand what we have to do, even I understand a far bit more than you think."
"Speaking of that" Tobio looked at Issei "I heard about your trip from Azazel. Is there anything we should know?"
"Vague hints of nothingness so no for now." Issei stopped as he thought about that. Blinking a few times he thought about something. "If that man we ran into was Euclid Lucifuge, then where is his boss?"
"What are you getting at?" Sona asked him.
"In times of old Lucifuge served Lucifer. In times of new Lucifuge serves Lucifer. So where is the Crown Prince, Rizevim?"
"He's never been heard from." Ravel said to that.
Issei snapped his finger at that "Exactly, and that Euclid boy looked more like a lackey than a planer with however the hell they got a new Grendel. Unless… no it can't be." Issei looks up at Griselda "Are the fragments still in the vault? Have you moved any of the major artifacts recently?"
"None that I would be aware of, and if we did then there would be guard duty."
"Okay then do me a favor later then. I want you to go down to the Archives and check if both pieces are in room 48. If they are missing then somebody stole it, if they are then somebody found another fragment of the Holy Grail that is large enough to revive a dragon of all things."
"That's preposterous Issei" Dulio said hearing that.
Issei could only raise his hands and that. "What else could it be then? No devil artifact could revive a dragon. And the only ones they do have are buried and locked away."
"I'm not aware of such a thing." Akeno heard this force for the first time.
"Yes, that is new to me as well." Sona agreed with her.
"Long story short the OG Satan brats tried to make their own Prototype Sacred Gears. It did not go out well for them or the Prototypes. It's not a story they want to tell you about for obvious reasons."
"Maybe we should have some training then?" Dulio suggested
"Yeah, let's do that instead. You girls should go get changed then, you know fast as Saji is coming here.." There was a scramble as the girls made their way into the changing room to get dressed into something fitting for combat.
Issei however was sitting there looking at the paper in his hand. "So what's this all about?"
"Did you read it?" Griselda asked him knowing full well he had yet to look at it.
"Fine fine," Issei said as he opened it up and saw gibberish written all over the paper. "Oh, I see. This is gonna take me a few minutes. I can read it but putting words together is hard enough in this old language." It took a few minutes as he was only part of the way through it. "Do you have an item for this? Don't exactly add magic circles to the house that easily."
"It's already been dealt with, we installed it before coming in here. Azazel simplified the process for us to add things to the house. Whatever you do don't mess it up. This may be a test but it's also the baseline for a possible future."
"Right" Issei nodded at that. "I understand, I have other plans so tonight will require some discussions about it.."
"Is everybody here today for a training session?" Tobio asked Issei.
"Uh no," Issei shook his head "Two girls are missing right now. I'll call them and have them come back home." Issei held his hand out as the letter was whisked away and replaced with his phone as he placed a call. "Katase" He said as it picked up. "Muray? Why do you have her phone? Never mind that. Some people stopped by during our little pool party and they want to do some training. Let's just say this guy here might be better for the two of you in your training. When can you be back here? Oh your already on your way back before I called? Oh, see you on the training field then." He hung up and tossed his phone back into a magic circle. "Soon. Those two could use experience from your fighting style Tobio mine doesn't vibe well with anybody here."
"That's because you're a brute when it comes to fighting."
Issei laughed at Griselda's words. "Yes but I don't see you doing any of the shit work. When the weeds need to be pruned there is no problem with scorched earth. And with what we are seeing lately my fighting style vibes a whole lot better with a giant dragon than your sword or bow does." He pointed at the door to the dressing room "Looks like the others are ready"
With the girls redressed for training Issei used a little magic to get changed as they headed off to the basement and got ready for some training. Sona had a magic circle in place as she called on Saji to summon him directly to the training field rather than letting him know about the pool antics.
"So what is this training going to be about?" Saji asked as not sure of the plan yet.
"Hopefully this will help you unlock your balance breaker." Dulio said looking down at him as there was a bit of a height difference between the two of them.
"You are?" Saji wasn't sure who this blonde-haired man was.
"Dulio Gesualdo, Joker of Heaven" He introduced himself.
"You are going to fight him." Issei was blunt about it. "And while it would be funny to see Dulio knock you on your ass, I'm going to give you some help. Dulio is not a fighter like I am, he happens to be the exact opposite. He's closer to a magician, except the church doesn't roll with the Magician idea so a caster. His Longinus will put you in a bind. So think fast and move faster." Issei pointed off in the distance of the green sea of grass.
The two of them walked out a bit away from them so they weren't in the splash zone. Then the training exercise started. Saji started first by keeping his distance and extending out a few lines as he stood there and let the lines do their work as they swarmed at Dulio.
Dulio however took the defensive route as a silver staff appeared in his hand he tapped it on the lines as ice coated them and shattered them instantly. Saji closed the gap getting up close and personal as more lines popped out of his hand as he tried to grab onto Dulio. The staff however pointed at Saji as a gust of wind came out sending him tumbling over.
They continued to watch and see how Saji could handle Dulio. "I knew Saji was at a disadvantage but I didn't think it was this much." Sona spoke her mind seeing as Saji was able to land a punch but it had little to no damage.
"Dulio, Tobio, and I are freaks, so don't get your hopes up seeing Saji get beat up." Issei looks over at Griselda "So what's his wing count?"
"More than mine."
He nodded at that "Mmh yes, with his mastery of his Longinus I somewhat expected that, good to know, however. Look Sona he's fighting Serafall for comparison's sake" As he said that they watched as Saji's black flames were doused by some water as he was knocked to the ground with a quick flash flood of water.
"This is a slaughter match." Irina said watching Saji get beat.
"That's the point of this training, the user needs to synchronize with the Gear through training and find that point where they obtain a balance breaker." Griselda said to her fellow Angel "But that's the whole point of this kind of training."
A red magic circle lit up behind them as Katase and Murayama finally showed up "So what's going on?" Katase asked.
"That's the two of them, your skills are better off with them." Issei said to Tobio "Katase, Murayama this is Tobio. He's one of Azazel's let's call him one of elites. He's going to be training with you for a bit."
Saji walked back towards the Group and sat down as his school uniform was cut up. "He's just too strong for me to do anything."
"That's exactly the point young one." Griselda said to Saji "That's why we train. You were never meant to beat him. You need to learn from how he handles himself and how you could possibly counter it. A little pushing and pulling make it so you gain strength and knowledge." She pointed at Dulio "Issei demonstrate."
"Oh fancy." Issei walked towards Dulio as a red tail popped out from under his shirt. "Every dragon has a tail and it is an extension of our body. The question is how do you use that appendage?" Issei ran at Dulio as the distance started to shrink between them. This time however it was far different as Dulio used far more energy in his attacks as the first one was typhoon-grade winds slowing him down. Issei had put up a guard as he ran through it as water dripped down into the winds quickly freezing and making chunks of ice that slammed into his arms.
The ice coated his arms and parts of his legs slowing him down. "Come on Issei you are easy to read. You're getting predictable."
Issei laughed at that "Predicatable he says" His arms were frozen over and his legs were as well making him almost encased in ice. Clutching his hands together fire seeped out the side breaking his hands free and then hell broke loose there was a massive explosion that followed melting all the ice away. "You brought ice to a master of flames." The heat that radiated out evaporated the water that drenched the grass. Issei inhaled plenty of air and he then expelled it as fire as it coated the sky in a reddish-orange glow. He quickly disappeared into the flames chasing Dulio.
Griselda however was shaking her head at everything that was going on. "Well, it seems I made that mistake. I will be making note of it…" She held out her right hand as a golden bow formed in it and she pulled back on the string as an arrow formed. "And I will not be making it again." She fired the arrow off and it was sent soaring into the sky where the two of them were at. When it got close enough to them it detonated blowing all the flames away and revealing the two of them Dulio hit Issei with an uppercut and armor around his face as it broke and Issei had a hand on Duliio's silver staff while his tail was pulling on Dulio's left wrist. "Don't you two think you had enough? You clearly missed the point of this."
"We did?" Dulio asked her. "Was it not a lesson in how to overcome a stronger foe with different ideas?"
Issei flexed his tail making Dulio's arm move around "I don't know I think we hit the spot on it. The point was to show that tools in your arsenal can be used in other ways." Dulio however put it away and then summon his staff then smacked Issei's tail with it. "Motherfucker" His tail retracted back to a safe space near him. "That hurt."
"Language" Griselda shouted at him before turning to Saji. "You have to think outside of the proverbial box. While your lines can be used to give and take the power you need to think of other ways to use them as well. Sacred Gears are full of mysteries and adding what is known with a new idea is just another step towards obtaining your Balance Breaker. Physical training will always benefit you. Nobody is expecting you to be like Issei but you have to find that thing that makes you push further every day."
"So you're just saying that I just need to fight strong people?"
Issei dropped down to the ground "Well that and the internal motivation to push you even further beyond."
"And just what was yours?" Sona looked at Issei as he walked over to him.
"Mine? Oh man, mine was to see if there was any hope at the end of the tunnel." There was some confusion at that "What I ended up finding out was most gods are dicks or useless. And the real story was I didn't want to die in this shitty world."
"That seems bleak"
Issei shrugged at that "Not everybody has a happy story. My other lives did and I'm still no closer to finding anything. But that doesn't change the motivation that drives one forward." The truth could never be seen through the thin veil."
"You mean breasts."
Issei breathed in hearing that as he pointed at Sona "No but they are super nice."
Griselda shook her head "And he's gone." So hearing that she turned her focus back to Saji. "Go back out there and try something you haven't tried yet."
Issei however watched the fight that was going on behind them as Tobio was having a two-on-one duel with Katase and Murayama as the two of them chase him around as he blocked their attacks with a giant scythe. As he was watching a magic circle appeared on his ear. "Yesssssssssssssss" He answered the call.
"Your weapon is done." He heard the voice of the Greek Blacksmith Hephaestus.
"Ahhh cool, what do I owe you? Also, can you send it to me right now?"
"We had an agreed-upon price."
Issei sighed at that "Fine fine, it's going to be in euros, however. I'm not paying you in the old ass currency."
Sona looked at him gesturing to the others "Who's he talking to?" She only got a shrug not sure what he was on about.
"Euros?" Rossweisse thought about it for a moment. "Oh, it's Hephaestus. He put in an order for a weapon that needed to be repaired. I heard that she was charging him a steep price for it."
They watched as a magic circle open up and out popped a large scythe that was restored to the same condition as it was in before Vali destroyed it. "Hey, this thing looks great. There's a reason why you're a blacksmith of the gods. But I also hate your outrageous prices."
"Yeah, but you got enough money to pay it." He heard that female voice change from a business deal to that of something more sensual "Plus it's not like I could have you pay for it in other ways."
Issei chuckled hearing that "And we're done here, I'll have the money sent by the morning. I don't want to deal with you drunk Greeks when you're in need…" The magic circle disappeared as he turned around looking around for somebody in the group. "Here Loli Reaper" He tossed the Scythe at Bennia.
She held the scythe up and look at it as she swung it around a few times. "Far too large for me."
He nodded "Yeah, that's Pluto's Scythe. I had Hephaestus rebuild it for me."
She walked back over to him and placed the Scythe in his hands "I don't want anything to do with that name."
"And just what are you going to do with such a thing?" Akeno asked him.
"I'm gonna put it on the wall in my room. It's not every day you get the weapon of a head Reaper." Issei said with a smile as he looked at the weapon.
"Is the Oppai Dragon a fan of weapons?" Bennia asked looking up at him.
"No, not exactly, I have a few." There was a gust of wind that washed over them as he said that. "I don't exactly find Swords to be interesting even tho I am the owner of two of them." He waved his hands around "They're okay but up close and personal is the best."
A few hours of training passed in a blink of an eye and they were now back in the house. Saji and Bennia had left and the others left for the night but the girls had other thoughts. "So what are we doing tonight?" Katase asked him.
"Well uhhhh I had a plan earlier but things kind of changed." He looked around seeing that Sona and Tsubaki were still around. "Did you two want to stay the night?"
"Did you think we just brought swimsuits?" Sona said to him.
He blinked a few times as he smiled at that "Well then let's get cleaned up then." It didn't take them long to get into the large bathing area to get changed. Issei didn't waste any time getting undressed as he wanted the girls to do the same. But that's when it hit him, the house was now equipped with something special. So the plan went into action as he walked over to where Irina was getting undressed most of the girls was in the same state, shirts, and bras off panties were the only thing left on. He quickly wrapped his arms around Irina "Hey want to see something cool?" He asked them as he turned her to face everyone else.
"Issei wait."
"Extend your wings for me" He leaned back ever so slightly giving the space needed for them to slide out as the halo appeared on her head.
The others however saw Issei doing something that he wasn't allowed to do due to Irina's status. "Issei you know you can't do anything with Irina."
His head poked out over her left shoulder as he smiled at that "Cant I?" His right hand slid up her belly and grabbed her breast. When he squeezed it was like a marshmallow, soft and with just enough give but that wasn't everything as he flicked her nipple and then pinched it after it.
What the sound from Irina was some moaning but her halo was still pure and her wings never flickered. "Issei" Irina moaned from his actions as it was a relatively new thing for her.
"You don't think I don't know of your struggles and urges?" Issei said before he looked up to everyone else. "Today's visit was twofold. I was given, well the house was a new barrier spell." They watched as his finger prodded her nipple and his other hand slid down to her panties. "Said barrier is a new spin on an old twist for the Angels."
"Are you saying that they made a barrier so the two of you can have sex?" Sona was quick to deduce his words.
Issei nodded hearing that "Yes, the whole house has no limits and I was encouraged to make dreams become reality." He looked at Sona and Tsubaki who was next to her "You know it's rather unfortunate that the two of you aren't here that often. You look great." He smiled at that as the index finger on his left hand ran along the center of Irina's panties he glossed over the most sensitive bits.
"Oh wow, Irina looks like she's having fun." Xenovia saw Irina biting her lips "So how is it?"
"Not now…. Xenovia…." Irina was quick to bite her lip as she was helpless, she wasn't going to say no as she wanted to do this. But now it was just so sudden.
His finger reached over and into her panties as he gave a quick tug letting them fall to the ground. Once they were off he let go of her "Well I saw all I needed to see. Maybe we can test the rest later." He moved out from behind Irina and walked over to Sona and Tsubaki "I can't forget about the guests we have here for the night."
Before Issei could do anything Xenovia grabbed his arm and dragged him into the shower area as the others followed. A quick shower and washing of hair so they could relax in the large heated bath.
"You do this every day?" Tsubaki asked as they were all relaxing.
"Everyday" Akeno smiled saying that to her. "You're more than welcome to join us more often if you want. "
Tsubaki shook her head at that "No I can't, it's not…"
Issei slid Sona so she was a bit closer to him as his right arm was around her and head resting on his chest. "You have had sex with a man and a woman. Proper isn't something you can exactly argue here."
"Your not exactly proper yourself." Sona looked up at him.
He smiled at that "It is what you make of it. But if you never have any fun what's the point then?"
"I…" Sona sighed at that. "Yes, you can't argue with that."
"Issei has a different form of fun." Ravel was quick to point out.
"Yes, that is fun. But are you not entertained by it? Because your actions betray your words then." Issei knew that Ravel enjoyed their fun time.
"It's not like that." Her face lit up at that as she pushed her index fingers together "But have you and Sona… you know."
"Irina is the only virgin here, not for the lack of trying mind you. Okay well, Rossweisse as well but she's hiding away."
Akeno smiled hearing that "She's caught a case of the feels and is trying to hide it." The other girls agreed with Akeno on that as it wasn't the first they had seen it from her.
"Sister is no different." Koneko said thinking about how Kuroka was on the odd side.
"What was your process behind having sex with her?" Sona was curious about that.
"Turns out she wasn't crazy, and is far different than she appears to be. So that kind of led to her getting to have a turn." Issei said Xenovia motioned to Irina like she wanted him to do something.
Akeno caught on to it "Maybe we should have a show? After all, it's all been a secret so far."
"A show you say." Issei smiled at that "I guess I can make a spectacle of it." He pulled Sona off him as he made his way over to Irina. She however zoned out completely as Xenovia and Asia were next to her and she was just lost in another world. When he stood in front of her she didn't react until Issei reached down and pulled her up and placed her on the edge.
"Wait what" Irina finally snapped out of it as she was far too late for her as she was silenced as his lips met hers. After a few seconds of his tongue exploring her mouth Issei pushed her over so she was laying down. He flicked a finger at Xenovia to Irina as he got down on his knees and pulled her legs open. When he was greeted not a rare sight but it was one of the rarest things on the planet, access to a vagina of an angel.
So Issei did what he enjoyed the most out of everything, pleasuring his girls. His right hand swooped in as a finger glossed over the outer edges as he didn't want to slip his finger in just yet. He wanted to tease her as his finger ran a circle around the edges bumping up the sensitivity as he could. Irina squirmed around as his finger moved around but only got the most when it ran over her clit. Her leg shook from such a thing as he looked at Akeno "I see that the carpet is missing, take it that's on you?"
Akeno shrugged at that "Who knows."
"Oh well" He turned around and dived down getting a mouth full of her.
Irina however had both hands on his head as she felt his tongue swirl around both in and outside. "Issei" She tried pushing his head away but was far too weak to do anything about it.
"Akeno are you serious right now?" Sona asked as she saw her nipples were fully erect.
"What? And you're not interested in this? It's not every day you get to see an Angel have sex let alone lose her virginity. I can't help but be turned on." Akeno reached over and flicked one of Sona's nipples "And you're no better."
"It's not like that." Sona tried to shift away from that as they could hear Irina's moaning.
"I want to be the one getting that kind of service." Tsubaki said out of the blue surprising them.
Issei's head popped up as he heard that. "Good the two of you can stay here all night and tomorrow. Nothing is going on tomorrow." He said as he climbed out of the water and crawled onto her and looked down at her "Do you know what is going to happen next?"
"Y-y-y–yes" She studdered out as her face was red and her hair was spread out all over the floor.
"Good" He lifted her slightly "WIngs." She complied as her wings were out and he laid her down. He smiled at that as he grabbed his cock and got ready to penetrate her. Once the top was in place he pushed his hips forward slowly getting it secured inside of her. Then there was no stopping he put plenty of his weight on her as he pushed into her all the way she wrapped her legs around him. Her wings were still pure white so the barrier was working as expected.
Everyone else however watched as Issei bucked his hips and as his cock slid in and out of her dominating her and making her crave his cock. "There's no blood?" Asia asked seeing it.
"As an exorcist, she was quite active, I don't doubt her hymen was broken before she was an Angel. And unlike you, she most likely lost it like that." Sona was a wealth of knowledge and it was rather odd hearing her speak on a subject like this.
"Oh… Lord…" There was a sound of skin clapping together between each word she sputtered out. "This… is… a… new… sensation."
"You having fun?" Xenovia asked as she lay next to Irina.
Issei only smiled as each movement was like a new pleasure sensor going off for her. "I think Irina lost in it."
"Hey, Issei." Akeno called out to him as he looked over at her. "Don't stop keep going, but I have a question."
He didn't need to be told twice how to go about it. "What's up?"
"Are Angels just like Devils?" He was confused hearing that from Akeno "Not in that way, I'm referring to the reproductive tasks. Can you come inside of her and it be fine? Or do you need to use some protection from here on out?"
"I'm not exactly sure…" Issei thought for a moment "I have some condoms around here. But you know never need them."
Sona was quick to judge him hearing that "How reckless of you, to think you were doing this with human girls at the time."
"No no" Murayama spoke up "That's not true. There was that one night."
"Oh, that night." Katase nodded remembering back to it. "Issei was so horny and Murayama was on her period at the time. But we had a rule if one gets it the other does as well."
"That sounds… messy" Was all Koneko needed to say.
"I'm sorry that I was so turned on. I didn't have much of a choice." Murayama sank into the water trying to hide away as if it was a sense of shame she was hiding.
"I'll use some condoms with her till we confirm that. But all Angels work like reincarnated devils, not exactly human but not exactly pure devils. After all, Angels were meant to be the spitting image of humans so there is compatibility." As he was talking Irina was wiggling around like a worm as her nipples were rock hard.
"Are you worried about what you're doing then?" Sona watched as he did bother slowing down.
"Worried?" Issei asked as he looked down at Irina. "No, but she's tapped." He put his hands on her breasts and kneaded them like they were nice balls of dough.
"I think you all are forgetting something." Tsubaki got their attention. "The Angel transformation is based on the devil's reincarnation. So does she still ovulate?"
"No" they heard the voice of Irina.
"Well, you heard the girl." Issei said as slammed into her one final time as they saw his balls twitch and he let go of a stream of his thick cum inside of her.
"Warm" she said as Issei pulled out of her letting her lie there on the floor as some of it dribbled out.
Issei moved over to the edge letting his feet deep back in. "She's going to need time processing that one."
Tsubaki stood up as she waded through the water "Enough talking." She grabbed his cock "Since Yumi isn't here you will make do for now." She got down and started prepping Issei for the next round.
He smiled at that "That next round you say? It's almost like you have been neglected or something." Tsubaki looked up at him out of her right eye and grabbed his balls giving him a squeeze "Noted" He said as she had his balls in hand.
The night was jammed packed as sleep was a slight suggestion for them. The following afternoon however there wasn't anything going on as well for Sona so she and Tsubaki stayed around during the day. What they got out of it was well another thing.
Irina was still somewhat happy yet loopy from the night's adventures. Things however were always a bit weird as just because the morning and afternoon came around didn't mean the sex stopped for everyone. Some of them were plenty interested in it. Katase was on the bed with Muyrayama while Issei, Xenovia, Asia, and Irina were on the floor in front of the large TV in his room. Xenovia had gotten one of the computers in Issei's room set up without breaking it somehow. "I wanted to show you this." Xenovia said as she took a seat next to Issei's current target.
"How can you keep this up?" Tsubaki was laid on her back and Issei was going to town on thrusting into the poor girl. After all, she did want it.
"Helps to be a Dragon, but I can't go forever as other creatures can." Issei looked at the TV and saw that there was a game on it as Xenovia had a mouse and Keyboard with her. "So what game did you get?"
"Life Style of a Devil Sister."
"Ohhhhhhh" Issei remembered back to yesterday hearing that from her. "Right the Eroge you three bought. These things are always fun."
"It's a porn game how can it be fun?" Tsubaki asked as her breasts jiggled back and forth.
"It's all in the intrigue. Just how can you solve the problem while getting into the Character's panties or maybe gain the harem?" Issei smiled at that. "It's like those old games they use to make, point and click adventures. You have to figure it out, just you're solving the key to the panties."
"You're a big fan of these I see."
Issei nodded at that "Most are bad, but it's like a cheesy movie that you like. There are some rock-solid ones out there." He looked around at that "I take it you looked in my stash then?"
"Sorry" Asia was quick to apologize as the three church girls were somewhat trying to stray away from it.
"No no, it's fine." He said as the game started up and they got into it. "As long as it got your panties wet or nipples hard thinking about what could happen then it's fine." He said all of that as he didn't miss a beat with Tsubaki.
Thirty minutes passed as the smell and sound of sex let alone the game was doing a number on them. Xenovia hand touch herself plenty of times while Asia and Irina tried the same thing but Issei forced them to touch each other while discussing the game.
The door to the room opened up as they saw Sona come in "I see you're still at it." Issei nodded as he looked at her with a smile when he saw her outfit. She had only a little white thong on as Issei made a simple request of her while she was in the mansion. "And just what are you playing?"
"Me playing?" He shook his head "I'm playing with Tsubaki. These girls however are playing their first eroge." Sona shook her head at that "It's picking up right now, they just got their hands into the first girl's panty drawer as she went to change, mind you it was a request of the girl." He however looked down at Tsubaki and a hand went over to Sona as he turned her around. "What do you think?" An eye glanced over to Sona seeing the white thong wasn't too fancy only but far from her standard issues white pair of panties.
"It's different even for me." Tsubaki told him "Never could I go to school wearing one of those. Only at night when I'm alone."
"It's far too improper even for that." Sona had to disagree with her Queen.
"Is it really? Rias and Akeno love them."
"That's because of you." Sona looked at him.
He shrugged at that "Oh well let's get you two to that point them."
"Hey, Issei" Xenovia tugged on his arm "Is it true that we're supposed to play a game like this in the nude?"
Issei blinked a few times hearing that "I mean you can, it's personal preference but there's no rule that says you have to be nude." That's when it hit him "Sounds like something Aika would tell you, better yet this whole thing smells of Aika."
"I'm surprised you haven't porked her as well."
He tilted his head hearing that from Sona "Oh you must not know then. I gave her a trade for Asia one night."
"Is there anybody you haven't had sex with then?"
He nodded "Oh yeah plenty, most of the school. Most of your peerage, Le Fay that Magician, Penemue, that chief secretary of the Fallen she does have some nice purple hair."
"Let me guess large breasts as well." Sona said with a straight face.
"Oh you better believe it, but she's a Fallen Angel they all do." He reached to Sona and pulled her down "I love big breasts" His hands snapped to hers as he licked her neck and whispered in her ear."But I love any breast that I can touch." The door opened once again and everyone looked to see who it was they saw Ravel standing there unlike the others she was dressed. "So does Ravel want in on all of this now?"
She shook her head at that. "Now isn't the time." Her attitude was much different "I just received a message from Azazel, the situation in Romania with the vampires has changed."
Issei sighed hearing that "Go get everybody else and tell them to get cleaned up." He told Ravel as she closed the door. Issei pulled Sona off him and out of Tsubaki. "Fun is over, unfortunately, maybe we can find a weekend where this might happen."
"Let's take a quick shower, I'll finish this off for you." Sona grabbed onto his wrist and pulled him away from her Queen.
