Author's Note: I am very sorry that Chapter 4 had a long delay. I am currently working on decrypting a program and don't know when it will be finished. I'm releasing this long overdue chapter to celebrate the premiere of High School DxD BorN.

I know the character naming is getting complicated, but we're still looking at this story from the DxD side. Keep in mind that Issei still does not know who these people are. Once I move over to the To Love-Ru side, I'll slowly unmask the names of all the characters.

Chapter 5 may face a long delay as well. However, I hope to be on the To Love-Ru side for that chapter.

Chapter 4:

Issei's Confusing Discovery

"It looks like this is a good place to stop for today. Make sure you review those lecture notes on the different Eras before coming to next class. I may throw a pop quiz out at you sooner than you think."

Issei's first class, Japanese History, just ended. He quickly packs his belongings and walks out the door. As he walks to his next class, he makes optimistic thoughts.

"Japanese History will be fine. I guess all that testing for me to become a high-class devil helped. I hope my next class goes well too. Just a little bit more effort and I'll be home with Rias and everyone else."

Issei arrives at his Chemistry class and takes a seat in the back of the classroom. He remains optimistic as he prepares for class. As he looks around to see his classmates, one particular classmate shocks him.

"Huh? Is that the Rito-boy who lives on the same floor as me? He's also in the same Chemistry class as me? What a coincidence!"

Issei becomes curious at Rito and focuses all his attention on Rito. "Who are those girls around him? They look familiar. I remember that blue-haired girl. He accidentally groped her yesterday, did he? What about that pinked-hair girl next to him? I remember seeing her invite that Rito boy upstairs. …and what about that black-haired girl over there? Wait, what is going on? Are they his bodyguards?"

Issei's observations give him more suspicion that Rito might have a sacred gear that attracts girls.

"I just have to know what that power is. Those girls don't seem bothered by him looking and touching their private parts. They talk to him like a usual person. Maybe the girls have something special too just like Rias, Asia, and everyone else from the Occult Research Club."

Suddenly, some random girl appears behind the blue-haired girl and gropes her breasts.

"Yaho! Haruna. Your big sis' has come to see you. Look how much you have developed when you became a college student."

"They've gotten bigger too," another girl with red eyeglasses makes an embarrassing comment.

"Geez… stop. It's so embarrassing."

The black-haired girl stands up and defends the blue-haired girl. "Hey, Momika-san. This is public place. You should know how to behave in public by now. That's probably why you failed your entrance exam. Go back to your remedial classes and work on your brain."

"Oh! Kotegawa-san, that's not much of a problem. I just got carried away a bit too much during my senior year. Don't worry, I'll be all refreshed and ready to attend this college next semester. In fact, my remedial classes have been going very smoothly these last couple of weeks."

"Suit yourself." The black-haired girl walks off. With her out of the way, a turquoise-haired girl clings Rito from behind.

"Rito-kun. I am so happy that I am in the same Chemistry class as you. Please help me; I'm not that good at Chemistry. I'll give you a VIP ticket for my next concert as a reward."

"Umm… I guess I can help you, but I am not that good at Chemistry either."

"Well, how about all of us get together sometime," the long pink-haired girl makes a suggestion.

"Thanks for the offer, but just Rito-kun and me will be fine," the turquoise-haired girl backs away and makes second thoughts. "This was a good chance to be alone with Rito-kun, but that Lala-san had to ruin everything. Why does she always have to intrude my relationship with Rito-kun?"

"By the way Haruna-chan, how is your progress with Yuuki-kun? Maybe Yuuki-kun still finds you too underdeveloped and wants someone like her." The random girl walks over to the pink-haired girl and gropes her breasts. "You need to work harder to have a body like this. Seriously, Lala-chi, how did you get such a body?"

"Ehehe… I just got these from my mother." The pink-haired girl giggles while responding.

"Stop it, Risa. Don't talk about this anymore."

Suddenly, a loud noise could be heard. The girls all find out that Rito has fainted from too much excitement.

"I guess Yuuki-kun's tolerance is still too low. What a pity."

The fainting also surprises Issei. "Huh? Rito faints and passes out from looking at too many breasts? How is that possible? That's one of the best parts of being a man! Seriously, this guy is making me angry. He's such an idiot if he can't understand a man's desires."

"I told you about this. If you keep looking at Yuuki-kun, you'll be angry. Do you believe me now?" The person from the morals committee, who was also in the same class, tries to get Issei to look away.

"No! That's not what I am talking about."

As soon as class ends, Issei continues to observe Rito. He equips his Boosted Gear and aims it right at the girls around Rito.

"Here's my chance. I'll use my new technique to understand more about those girls around Rito: Superscope Bilingual! Since all the 'Rito' girls are in the same place, this technique will be most effective."

Issei activates his Boosted Gear.

"Let me hear those breasts."

The first person Issei target is the blue-haired girl.

"When is Yuuki-kun going to confess? Why does he have to be so indecisive? It hurts. Maybe he likes Lala-san more because she has a more attractive body than me."

Next is the black-haired girl.

"Yuuki-kun's such a shameless pervert. But on the other hand, I wish I was the victim. How am I supposed to approach him without dropping my guard?"

Finally, Issei targets the pink-haired girl.

"We're going to have a threesome with Haruna, right Rito? Just like what Peke said, the king of the universe can do anything he wants."

"Huh? Threesome? What is she talking about? …and what is this about the 'king of the universe'?"

The moment Issei hears those words, he puts away his Boosted Gear.

"Is the only reason why all these girls are following him is because he is destined to be the king of the universe? King of the human realm? That makes sense. No, wait! There's no way anyone would pick him to be the king of universe? He's too weak to be a king; he acts crazy in front of all these wonderful girls and faints and falls everywhere. If that is true, then there really is something special about him."

Issei looks in his backpack for other tools he can use at the moment. "I guess I don't need to be in a rush for that. He lives in the same dormitory as me and we share at least 1 class together. I'll worry about this after English." Issei quietly heads off to his English class.

The following night, Issei calls back his flying ship. He downloads all of the videos onto his hard drive and commands the flying ship to continue monitoring. Since Issei was able to observe most of Rito's girls in class, Issei has his familiar monitor the rest of Rito's girls he saw in the dormitory earlier.

"Now, let's see what secrets you have to hide from me, Rito-boy."

Issei watches the first clip. It's a clip depicting the activities occurring at Rito's home. His parents are rarely home as Rito's dad is always busying meeting the deadlines for his next manga chapter and Rito's mom is always overseas showcasing her new clothes design. In the clip, one of the pink-haired girls is being scolded by Mikan, Rito's sister.

"What are you trying to do in Rito's room?"

"Umm… I'm just cleaning it. It will be clean and shiny when Rito-san returns for the holidays."

"Is that so? What's with that perfume in your hand?"

"This is an extract from the Spindatesse plant. It has a sweet smell that will keep the room fresh when Rito-san is not here."

"Alright, do whatever you want." Mikan walks away.

"Phew, that was close. This perfume is actually part of my secret love potion that I am working on. By using the sweetest flowers I can find, I'll be able to hypnotize Rito-san and make progress on my harem plan."

After hearing that message, Issei presses the stop button.

"So, that short pink-haired girl has a harem planned out for Rito? That's so nice of her. I wish Rias or Asia-chan could do the same thing for me. What's next?"

Issei watches the next clip. This clip focuses on a nearby candy shop. Inside the shop are three girls. One has medium-sized pink hair, the other person has red hair, and the last person has blonde hair.

"I really want to see Rito-san in his beast form," the red-haired girl speaks.

"He's already a beast in his usual form. He goes wild whenever a beautiful girl approaches him."

"I think you're just jealous. I can tell by the way you're speaking to me."

"No I'm not!" The pink-haired girl reiterates her statement.

Issei stops the tape. "Maybe Rito does have a beast mode in him. That might be from his sacred gear and he doesn't realize it. I didn't realize my scared gear until I became one of Rias's servants."

The final clip shows the interior of Sainan High School. At first, all Issei could see is the perverted principal running after the beautiful girls in the hallway. He then strips himself and dives into girls. Before he was able to give a deadly kiss, the morals committee corner and discipline him. Next, the camera points to an empty room. In this room, Issei sees the girl who handed Issei a gift earlier talking to the school nurse. The school nurse reminds Issei of Rias.

"It was quite an interesting experience with Yuuki-kun around. He was the first person to break the alien-human barrier."

"Well, I guess so. I hope his life goes well in college."

"It's alright. As long as Lala-san is with him, everything should be fine. I really want to see them kiss."

The thought of Rito being able to kiss shocks Issei as he turns off his computer. "Why does life have to be so unfair? I had to work hard to get acceptance from girls like Rias, Akeno-san, and Asia-chan while this Rito boy naturally attracts girls but acts weird and faints whenever he gets close to them. Why can't I be the person who gets this talent? If only I could switch places with him."

Issei then looks at his left hand. "Well, since I am a king in my own regard, maybe I can use this power to my advantage. That's right; I can make him one of my servants. But wait, what happens if it fails? I won't be able to retrieve my pieces if this method doesn't work."

Issei looks for other tools to help him. He finds an envelope with reams of paper inside it. Each paper has a decorative circle printed on it.

"That's right, I can use this to keep him under my watch for now. I have lots of them and can always get refills from Rias. Let the preparations begin."

"Shut up! I'm studying. Don't you have homework too?" Issei finds Ken Carbin angrily digging through his homework assignments.

"Oops, sorry, my bad." Issei leaves Ken alone and exits the dorm room.

Later that night, as Rito tries to go to bed, he hears a knock on the door.

"Rito! Are you awake? This is quick; I just need to give you something." Rito walks over to the door and slowly opens the door. He finds his dormitory neighbor with a small envelope in his hands.

"Hi Rito, I found this envelope with your name on it. It was lying on the floor next to your door."

"That's strange…" Rito takes the envelope and returns to bed. Before he turns off the lights, he looks at the envelope.

"Who is this from? There's no one else's name printed on this envelope. Oh well, I'll just take a look at and throw it away."

Rito opens it up and finds a piece of paper with a large decorative circle printed on it. "Huh! What is this? What's with this decorative circle? This pattern looks interesting, but what is it supposed to mean?" Rito searches for clues and only finds one readable sentence.

"Your wish will be granted."

Rito is puzzled by the sentence. "What wish? I didn't make any wishes. This must be another prank by Momo, Lala, or Risa. Maybe Haruna-chan wanted to make up with me after that incident and draw this nice circle for me."

Rito puts the piece of paper on his desk and goes back to sleep.
