After waking up early in the morning, Issei decided it was time to start his training.
"Where do I even start?" Sighted Issei.
"Partner, start by little, try to gain their signature skills like you did with my flames and later you can master them" Advised Ddraig.
"Not a bad idea, it'll be hard and you might fail a lot, but you can do it if you truly desire to protect everyone, but don't do crazy stuff and experiments, because we still don't know what may happen to you, not only your body might get destroyed but your very soul" Warned Al.
"Alright, so who should I start with?" Asked Issei.
"Start with Tannin, then Tiamat and then Al. Later on, you'll get Vritra's soul and maybe even Yu long's soul fragment" Said Ddraig.
"Okay then, let's get started" Said Issei as he sat on the ground in an across-legged position and entered his the gear to train with his dragons.
-Time skip- .
Two and a half hours passed since Issei started his training, later Ingvild woke up and after entering the living room she saw Issei on the ground with his eyes closed.
She let him stay like this for a bit but later decided to call him, otherwise they'd be late for school.
"Issei, we need to go or we'll be late" Said Ingvild as she shook Issei lightly.
Issei opened his eyes and saw Ingvild in front of him with a smile, with no hesitation, Issei kissed her on the lips as a good morning.
"Morning hime, is it time for school already?" Asked Issei.
"Yes it is, so go get ready and let's go" Said Ingvild as she walked away. Issei stood up and dressed in his school uniform and they went to school holding hands and smiling brightly.
Ingvild was happy because of the upcoming date with Issei tomorrow, but Issei was happy for a whole other reason as he can use some of Tannin's abilities. He still needs to master those powers but he got the hang of it while his dragons were shocked just how quickly he learned.
They reached the school gates but to their surprise, Katase and Murayama were waiting for them.
"Good morning Issei, Ingvild" Greeted both girls.
"Good morning" Replied Ingvild cheerfully.
"M-mornig Mura, Kate" Replied Issei even less nervous than the last time. The girls noticed that and smiled.
"Let's go to class" Said Murayama with a smile.
"Right"
-Time skip-.
After the bell, the teacher came to class and announced that some seats will be changed.
When the moving was done, Murayama and Katase had big smiles because they got seated near issei.
Issei and Ingvild stayed in their original seats while Katase sat to issei's right and Murayama behind Issei.
The lesson was boring for Issei as he just folded his arms on a desk and used them as a pillow for him to sleep. In this case, he was in his gear training.
When the lunch break started the three girls wanted to go together with Issei on a roof to eat their lunch together, but they saw Issei still sleeping, Murayama and Katase tried to wake him up but nothing worked.
"Ugh! why aren't you waking up!" Shouted Katase.
"Let's just go without him this time, he must be tired" Said Murayama and with defeated sigh Katase gave and the three girls went up to the roof to have their lunch.
"Maybe you and Issei want to go with us today to the arcade or something?" Asked Murayama.
"I can but Issei has a date today" Said Ingvild nonchalantly but immediately covered her mouth as she remembered that she shouldn't have said anything about the other girls.
"What do you mean? Did you break up?!" shouted both Murayama and Katase.
"N-no we did not" Said Ingvild.
"You mean, you just let him go out with other girls?" Asked Katase in disbelief.
"Well, that girl actually shares him with me... She was the one that saved Issei from going insane because of his betrayal" Said Ingvild.
"You mean he has a harem again?" Asked Murayama.
"Sort of... but he didn't plan any of this, he wanted just to close his heart from everyone and forget love..." Said Ingvild saddened.
"How many girls does he have right now?" Asked curious Murayama.
"Three in total me, Valerica, and Tiamat" Replied Ingvild.
"Well that's unexpected" Said Katase.
"Agreed" replied Murayama.
"Do you girls know each other?" Asked Katase.
"Well I know both of them, but Valerica and Tiamat don't know each other because Tiamat is new to the harem... today Issei after his date with her will tell about Tiamat... though I don't know how she will react. She said she doesn't mind sharing him with me but said no to harems and here we are having a harem" Said Ingvild a bit concerned about what Valerica will do to Issei after his confession.
The bell rang indicating that the lunch break was over and when they came back to class they giggled a bit as they saw Issei still sleeping. He looked rather cute in the girl's eyes.
The classes ended and Issei had woken up as he and Ingvild were about to leave Issei was stopped by a certain Redhead.
This just ruined his day.
"...What do you want Gremory?" Asked Issei with no emotion while he was holding in so many emotions.
"...Issei, I want you to come back to me... to us, we love you! please just come back, I know we messed up by sleeping with other guys but..."
The students were shocked because of their idol's words, the girls once looked up to Rias and the rest of the ORC, but now they were quite disgusted by what she said.
"Listen here Gremory... I don't care what you or what the rest of you want, I don't care what you need, and I don't care what you have to say... It's over, the old Issei is dead! Killed! Murdered, Gone! He. Is. No. More! You have to accept the reality and move on!" Shouted Issei as he barely held back his tears.
"I-I just w-want us to be together again" Said Rias while crying.
"It's too late, your actions speak louder than words... plus don't you have college work or something? It's the second time you come here" Asked Issei as he wanted her to go out of his sight.
Rias turned around and slowly walked out as she clenched her chest from a sharp pain.
Issei just stood there and looked at the ground as his bangs shadowed his eyes and had clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but students saw his tears hit the ground.
They felt bad for him.
Ingvild came and hugged him together with Katase and Murayama.
After the incident, Issei went home, while Ingvild and the two girls went to spend some time together.
As Issei came back to the apartment he called Valerica via magic circle.
"Yeah Issei?" Answered Valerica.
"Hey empress, wanna go on a date today?" Asked Issei.
"I would love to, when are we going out?" Asked Valerica.
"How about in an hour?" Asked Issei.
"Sure! that's perfect!" Replied Valerica sounding excited.
"Alright, I'll come to get you in an hour" Said Issei as he went to get changed.
Issei changed into a white t-shirt blue jeans and a black leather jacket with white and red dragons on its back.
An hour later Issei teleported to Valerica's mansion and when he got there he saw Le Fay making dinner.
"Hey, Le Fay" Greeted her Issei.
"Oh! Issei hello. Are you here for Valerica?" Asked Le Fay.
"Yep, I guess she told everyone already?" asked amused Issei.
"About the date? Of course, she did, she was so excited, right now I think she's with Elaine upstairs, so just wait here for a bit" Said Le Fay.
"Alright" Said Issei as he sat down on the couch.
After five minutes Valerica came downstairs wearing blue jeans, she wore a white t-shirt and a half leather jacket with a white dragon on her back.
"Wow, you look amazing Val, I like your outfit" Complemented Issei.
"Thanks, you look good too" Replied Valerica.
"Well, let's go then?" Asked Issei as he stretched his hand towards Valerica.
"Yes, let's go" Said Valerica taking his hand and Issei created a magic circle and teleported back to the apartment where Ingvild already was making dinner.
"Hi, Valerica" Greeted her Ingvild with a hug.
"Hey Ingvild, how are you?" Asked Valerica.
"I'm great! it's fun here in Kouh" Said Ingvild with a smile.
"Glad you enjoy it here" Said Valerica.
"Have a nice date" Said Ingvild.
"Alright, bye hime" Said Issei as he and Valerica went outside.
"Well, where are we going first?" Asked curious Valerica.
"Where do you want to go first? amusement park or cinema?" Asked Issei.
"How about we go to an amusement park first, then we'll go watch a movie?" Said Valerica.
"Alright then, let's go to the amusement park" Said issei as he grabbed her hand.
When they got to the amusement park, Issei suggested going on a roller coaster first. Valerica agreed with Issei even though she didn't know what it was.
She had never gone to an amusement park, it was her first time so she didn't know what to expect, part of the reason why she chose to go here first.
When the ride started to move Valerica thought it was some sort of joke because it was moving slowly.
But when they reached the top, the roller coaster started riding at insane speeds. Valerica was scared for her life and grabbed Issei's hand tightly while screaming.
After the ride Valerica was dizzy and she had to sit down on a bench for a couple of minutes.
"Did you like it" Asked Issei with a smile?
"Like it!? I thought I would die there" Said Valerica.
"C'mon it was fun! look I even have a photo of you screaming" Said Issei as he gave a photo of Valerica screaming for her life and Issei laughing the whole time.
Valerica immediately blushed and hid the photo in her pocket but Issei had a few more of those.
"So what's next?" Asked Valerica.
"How about we go to the arcade?" Suggested Issei.
"Sure" Replied Valerica.
They later played in an arcade. Although it was the first time for Valerica she crushed Issei in every game they played.
"Grr! this sucks" Said Issei as he crossed his arms while Valerica just laughed.
At least Issei won her a red dragon plushie that she loved very much.
"So what now?" Asked Valerica.
"Now we either go eat dinner and then watch a movie or vice versa" Said Issei.
Suddenly Valerica's stomach growled for food making Issei chuckle while Valerica gained a small tint of red on her cheeks.
"Okay, that's our answer then" Said amused Issei.
They went to a nearby stall and ordered some waffles. Issei liked those waffles, and because of his dragon appetite he ordered three times more than Valerica.
As they were eating Issei decided to tell her about Tiamat.
"Hey Val, I have to tell you something really important..." Said Issei.
"Alright, who is she?" Asked Valerica as she took a bite of her meal.
Issei was caught off guard by her question and almost choked on his meal but understood what she meant somehow.
"T-tiamat" Answered Issei clearly scared for his life.
Valerica's eyes widened.
"You mean Dragon King Tiamat!?" Asked Valerica in shock and disbelief.
"Y-yes" Answered Issei still scared.
"ugh... I knew that would happen eventually..." Said Valerica with a sigh.
"It's alright, I'm not mad I'm happy that you decided to tell me about this, but please, no more girls without my approval, I have to make sure that you there wouldn't be any parasites like the previous ones" Said Valerica with concern.
"But since I know that Tiamat won't even do anything like those whores, I guess she may join" Said Valerica with a smirk.
Issei was so shocked that his brain stopped braining and his body went on autopilot. He thought that she would surely kill him.
"By the way how did you meet her?" Asked curious Valerica.
"I wanted to meet her in the familiar forest to say sorry for what Ddraig did to her treasure and make it even somehow and she said she wants to be my mate" Explained Issei telling half true.
"Alright" Said Valerica understanding the situation.
"Well, now that we are full, we'll go to watch a movie?" Asked Valerica.
"Y-yeah" Replied Issei still in a somewhat shocked state.
After a movie, they went on the last ride and of course, it was a Ferris wheel.
Upon reaching the top Valerica saw the beautiful sunset, deciding this was the right time to thank Issei.
"Thank you, Issei for this wonderful date. I don't remember when was the last time I had this much fun and the whole chaos brigade stuff just stressed me out, but you helped me to relax today" Said Valerica clearly happy.
"Your welcome my empress happy to make you happy" Said Issei.
After they were done with their date, they went back home. it was already dark and Issei decided to take a shortcut through a park.
And suddenly they reached a fountain where Issei was killed. Issei's face immediately lost all emotions which didn't go unnoticed by Valerica.
"What's wrong Issei?" Asked a concerned Valerica.
"Well... this is the place where I was killed... for a moment I forgot that even happened..." Replied Issei.
Valerica immediately understood what he was saying.
"I hate it... I never asked for this to happen... but at the same time, I'm glad it happened... I'm not a sad useless and hated pervert, somebody actually loves me as much as I love them... I just love you girls too much..." Said Issei.
Valerica processed to kiss Issei before talking.
"We will never leave your side Issei, we will always love you and stay by your side no matter what, even if the world turns against you" Said Valerica confidentially.
Issei smiled warmly and kissed her this time.
After they were done they finally made it back home.
"Well then Issei, I'll see you next time... oh and by the way, tomorrow you will receive a surprise" Said Valerica with a smirk.
"Alright my empress, goodnight" Said Issei as Valerica teleported back to her mansion.
As Issei walked inside, he saw that the lights were off already, so he assumed that Ingvild was already sleeping. Issei took a quick shower and went to bed joining Ingvild.
He kissed her on her forehead as a goodnight and brought her closer to himself she wrapped her arms around Issei as he went to sleep.
The next morning started as usual, Issei went to school with Ingvild and met up with Murayama and Katase, the bell rang and everyone got to their seats and the teacher came in with an announcement.
"Alright students, today we have a transfer student" said the teacher gaining everyone's interest, even Issei was a bit interested but Ingvild already knew who it was as she just smiled.
"Please come in" Said the teacher.
The doors opened and Issei froze.
"Hello everyone, my name is Valerica Luferda and I'm Issei Hyoudou's second girlfriend" Introduced Velerica with a huge smirk.
"What!?" Shouted the whole class except Issei and Ingvild. Issei just slammed his head on the table which broke from the impact much to everyone's shock...
