Hey Guys! It's a been a while isn't it?

Sorry I got caught with my studies. First I have to say something. Before writing Ch16, I made some small changes in my story. To be honest, I did not change the plot. I fixed some grammar errors and added some small extra parts to the story. I think those who have read the story before will not have a problem with that. When I looked at what I had written before, I realised that I had written this story in a childish way. I had a good plot in my mind, but when I turned it into words, I messed it all up. I'm very sorry about that. Then let's read.

Ddraig Talking ( )

Talking " "

Boosted Gear [ ]

"Hey father" I turned to my father who was sitting on the chair.

"Hey son, It's been a while since we sat like this and ate like a family" Father said.

"Yeah I think so" I pulled out a chair and sat in front of my father. What he said was right. Maybe this opportunity came because people including Murayama are coming today for dinner.

"Now that the food is on the table, I can start eating" Father began to tap the spoon he was holding.

"Please wait Father, Issei's friends haven't arrived yet" Asia said as she placed a plate of food on the table.

"To be honest, I can hardly wait with the smell coming from this kitchen," Father said. Asia smiled a bit and went inside.

I invited them to dinner tonight. The main reason is to help Asia make friends at school. If you say why, this is not the right storyline. Asia still can't speak Japanese properly. So I asked help from Murayama, Katase and Kiryuu to help Asia. Today, as the first step, they will meet with her.

A while ago I thought that today would not be a problem. But my phone started ringing.

"Hello !"

"It's me"

"Huh Momo, What's happened?"

"It's a stray devil. Tsubaki senpai told you to come to the abandoned shrine as soon as possible" Momo said in a serious manner.

"Huh! Now? But…" I tried to tell my situation but…

"Come quickly! This is an emergency." After that she hung up.

Tch! This is troublesome. At the same time, I got up from the table and quickly went to the living room and thought of leaving the house.

"Issei!" Asia called from my behind.

"Asia" I turned to her.

"Asia I'm sorry.I have to go out immediately. If those people come…" Asia smiled at me.

"It's ok, Issei. I will manage somehow" After that she went inside. I came out from the house and started walking towards the shrine.

Few moments later

I went to the shrine, but this is not the house where Akeno lived. As soon as I came out from home, I received another call. It's from Tsubaki. If she didn't tell me the exact place, I would have been lost. I saw the whole peerage come before me.

This shrine is bigger than the other one. Many places are crumbling. It is too scary. It is a good hiding place for a stray devil. Momo waved her hand at me.

"Then?" I looked at Tsubaki.

"You went to kill a stray devil with Rias buchou earlier, didn't you?" She asked.

"Yeah But she didn't give permission to fight with it," I said. Reya came in front and pointed to the shrine.

"It's a big one. Kaichou said that this stray devil is SS-class one"

"Oh Wait SS mean?" I asked and Tsubaki started to gave a small explanation about stray devils.

It seems that these stray devils have a little ranking system. It is based on the people or devils they kill. But these S-classes are very dangerous. Tsubaki said that this SS class devil killed his king and several other peerages before he came back to Kuoh town.

"Damn!" I said without realising it.

"Then where is kaichou?" I looked around for her.

"She went inside," Tsubasa said.

"What! Without any protection?" I raised my voice.

"Yes" Tsubaki folded her hands under her chest.

"Kaichou said, us to stay here until she did a little search inside" After hearing that I started to run towards the shrine. 'That idiot!!!'

"Issei! Wait, it's an order!" I heard that Tsubaki started to shout. But that time I was only thinking about Sona's safety.

'She can't even fight a middle-class devil properly. If she dies so soon…' I thought in my mind.

I ran inside of the shrine. It's dark inside. But thanks to my devil nature I can see even in the dark without any problems.

I looked in several rooms and Sona was not there. At the same time, I heard a noise from the side of the iron stairs leading to the upper floor. Someone is upstairs. I quickly walked towards the upper deck. At the same time, I saw Sona searching a box of documents there, but she was not alone.

"Issei!" She saw me. She put aside the box in her hand and turned towards me.

"I told you to wait outside! Didn't you hear from Tsubaki?" Sona said. At the same time, I saw something moving above from Sona.

"Kaichou Look out!!!" I dashed towards to her.

"What ar–!?" Before Sona could react, I grabbed her shoulder and pushed her to the side.

"Ahh" I heard her voice. But that's not the main thing. Suddenly I saw a big hand coming towards my face. I didn't have time to activate the boosted gear. I clenched my right hand and tried to block that hand. After that, I saw the main body of that stray devil coming down from above. I grabbed his body and pushed him. Both of us broke the window behind us and fell to the ground.

"Issei!" I heard again that Sona called my name. My consciousness started to fade away. But

(Partner!)

"Yes Ddraig! I'm here" I tried to stand up. I saw the stray devil's main body. It's like he got mutated. His hands are bigger than the average human. His wings are like a big bat and larger than Raynare's wings. Anyway, when we both fell to the ground, a piece of iron spike on the ground had pierced one of his wings.

(Are you not going to use it?)

"Let me think...No...I'm going to test this devil body's maximum capabilities" I stood in a fighting position.

"Come then" At the same time, I saw that the stray devil on the ground regained his consciousness.

With Tsubaki and Others

"What was that sound?" Tsubaki started to look around.

"It came from the back," Ruruko said.

"Tch! let go" Tomoe started to run but Tsubaki stopped her.

"No. Wait we can't"

"But Fukukaichou!" Ruruko started to say something but after looking at Tsubaki's face she stopped. Looking at the two of them, Momo couldn't bear it anymore. According to her, Sona is the one who saved her. Her heart told her to go and save her. 'But is it a good thing to ignore kaichou's orders?' she thought in her mind.

Momo steps forward. "I'm going!" Momo started to run towards to the shrine.

"You can't!" Tsubaki held her hand and stopped her from moving.

"Fukukaichou! What are you doing?" Momo's eyes widened.

"We can't. Kaichou told us to stay here. Tsubaki's eyes were filled with sadness. No matter how much she wanted to, she didn't want to disobey Sona's orders. She had a reason for that. Momo clenched her fist.

"Sorry But I have to go"

Momo somehow released her arm from Tsubaki's gasp and started to run again. But this time Tsubaki didn't stop her. After that others started to run too. Tsubaki smiled a bit.

"Sona kaichou, you found a good peerage as you expected" After that she made a laugh.

"Ok Ok, All the juniors went there and I have to go too" she made a little sigh and started to walk towards the shrine.

Momo ran to the back of the shrine first. She was amazed by what she saw. She saw Issei fighting a large stray devil alone.

"Issei Look out!" Without realising it, her voice came out. As soon as she said that, others also came there.

"Huh what on the earth!" They are all low class devils. Their bodies started to feel the aura emitted by the stray devil. Most likely, that stray devil could be middle class.

Issei brutally engaged in his battle with the devil. But unfortunately the stray devil had an upperhand. Momo and the others saw how badly Issei was injured. He was bleeding from the right side of his face. His red shirt was even redder from the blood. and most importantly his right hand is completely destroyed.

Normal P.O.V

All of a sudden, the stray devil kicked Issei in the chest and he was thrown backwards by the blow. "Issei!" Tsubaki, who had seen this scene from afar, ran to where Issei fell into the ground.

"Issei, let's retreat!" Tsubaki said. But Issei started to smile.

"Ss-class Huh? I'm impressed"

"Huh," Tsubaki's eyes widened. Not only her, Momo and others also looked at Issei in surprise.

"Ok then" Issei slowly got up from where he fell and began to wipe the dust from his body.

"It hurts, damn it! Huh, Tsubaki senpai, when did you come here?"

"When! Look at your body. It's messed up We need to retreat"

"This!" Issei looked at his right arm.

"It's nothing serious. But that thing!" As he extended his left hand towards the stray devil who was watching from the ground.

"It needs to be defeated immediately" Issei started to walk towards.

Tsubaki tries to help Issei. Because she is the queen of the peerage, she has more power, but Issei told her no. The reason Issei wanted to know the maximum capabilities of his body. So he thought to fight alone.

"Hey you guys need to backoff " Issei said while watching Momo and the others.

"Why? We can help you" Tsubasa said.

"No need. I need to check my fighting skills" He started to keep walking forward and looked back.

"And You guys can't die now. because I have 4 more dates to go" As soon as he said that, Momo blushed.

"Then, We can start again" Issei looked at the stray devil.

At that time, Sona was watching what was coming down from upstairs. She couldn't do anything at that time. 'If Issei didn't come there at that time, what would happen to me?' Sona thought. Then she started running to downstairs.

" Please be safe, Issei"

This stray devil wasn't that strong. I can beat him easily if I use my boosted gear. But this is my decision to defeat him by using my own strength. But the problem is that his regeneration ability is a bit high. If I do damage, it will recover quickly.

"Come at me" I yelled. After that, stray devil came running towards me. I dashed to his location and tried to block his attack. His first punch I managed to escape from. But the second one, I couldn't block completely. At the same time his speed started to increase as well.

I could see that his power was increasing more and more. Due to the size of his hands, I could not block his punches properly.

(Partner! It's better if you use Rage Aura right now!) Ddraig gave me a warning.

'What? no we can't. They will notice' I dodged the blow from the right side and jumped to the side. Rage Aura is a technique I discovered recently. I was able to damage Tiamat with that Rage Aura, but this time there is a chance for Sona to know the secret about me if I use it now.

(You don't need to do much, partner. As we trained earlier, Collect aura in one place and attack. and after that release it all at once)

'Then enemy's…'

(Yes, His healing will be blocked, Since we are releasing Aura from one place, there is no way for others including Sona to be notified)

'Thank you Ddraig'

I tried to control the rage aura, But it is difficult to do this while fighting with a stray. But anyway I managed to cover my left hand with a rage aura. My left fist started to glow with light red in colour.

"Take this!!!" First I used the rage aura on my left hand and tried to attack at the elbow of the stray devil. Although I missed the first shot, I was able to successfully attack his hand with my second shot. It would be good if my right hand was also working at this time, but because of the first attack, I could not use my right hand well.

That way I was able to hit him with a few punches. His speed started to decrease.

When the Rage aura is hit, it enters the body most of the time. The side effect is that it disrupts the functions inside the body. This technique is similar to a curse. And, I am the only one who can take it out.

As he started to get weaker, he started to escape from my blows. Then he tried to kill me immediately. After a while he took off into the sky. I didn't have enough strength to use my wings. I waited for a while to see what he was trying to do.

"Issei! Look out he is using magic" Reya shouted at me.

"Oh I see" His two fists started to glow purple in colour.

'Ddraig I think that is enough!' At the same time, I thought it would be better to use the Boosted gear because I have to go home soon. It's been more than an hour now. And I already learned the capabilities of my body.

[ Boost ]

I used a few boosts on myself.

"No this isn't enough" I tried to get into explosion form.

[ Explosion! ]

Boosted gear sound echoed. I could feel the energy moving throughout my body.

"Ok. Let's finish this" At the same time, a purple ray from the hand of the stray devil came fast towards me. I immediately avoided it and jumped to the place where the stray devil was.

"Oi, come here that's all you got?" I tried to disturb him, but at the same time he came towards me fast again, looking to attack me with his right hand.

I grabbed his hand with my right hand and quickly gave a blow into his stomach with my left hand. I felt his organs in his stomach were caught under my left hand and crushed. I rolled him down and stood over his body.

"This is the end"

I gave my last punch to his face and because of the strength of my boosted gear his skull got crushed under my arm.

[ Reset ]

"It's over" Tsubaki said while watching other peerage members.

"Issei are you ok?" Momo rushed to my direction.

"Oh Momo, Yeah I'm Ok" I smiled at her.

"Issei don't get reckless," Tsubaki said to me.

"Yeah I'm sorry about that" I scratch my head awkwardly.

"Issei!" I heard Sona called my name.

"Kaichou are you Ok?" She came in front of me.

"Yes, thanks to you," She smiled.

"Hmm, Then take this as a gift" Suddenly I hit her on the head using my hand.

"Eek!!" The faces of the people there changed completely. Because a pawn is very low among the pieces of peerage. So when I did such a thing, they were surprised. But Tsubaki was angry. "Issei stop that" Tsubaki said.

"What is that for?" Sona started to touch her forehead.

"What? Don't you remember? Are you trying to die soon kaichou?" I asked her.

"It's-No I was thinki–"

"Yeah Yeah Let's forget about it then.I'm sorry for hitting you" I tried to change the subject.

"Oh yeah I heard from my friend, High-class devil can heal the wounds of others in the peerage. Is that true kaichou?"

"Huh Yeah I-I can" She smiled awkwardly.

"Hmm what happened? you all are red now" I looked at the others and their faces were completely red.

"We! No no we are fine" Ruruko said.

"Ok then, Tsubasa let's clean this mess. kaichou you can treat Issei's wounds. Then bye" After that other girls started to move away from us.

"Tsubaki you can't," Sona said while making a strange face expression.

"Huh Did I say something wrong kaichou?"

"No" Sona's face also turned red. After a while, we both used the teleportation ring and came to the council office. Others stayed at the old shrine with the aim of destroying the evidence related to what happened there.

"Ok first, Wash your body" Sona gave an order to me. I nodded. I entered the bathroom and washed my body with water. Blood was coming out from several places in my body. Especially my right hand. It was swollen near the wrist. Suddenly I heard someone trying to enter from outside.

"Kaichou Is that you?" I tried to look back, But…

"Don't look! I'm in my underwear"

"Huh what are you saying!" After that I noticed. She was wearing only a bra and panties.

"Turn around," She said. I stood facing the front.

"Excuse me!" She came to the bathroom and hugged me from behind.

"Kaichou! W-what are you–" I tried to ask but. "Don't speak This is really embarrassing"

"I see, So, this is the way to heal wounds, isn't it?"

"Yes,There are several other ways to do this. But now this is the quick way to heal you wounds Issei"

"Then I'm in your care" I said while chuckling.

"You look very happy," Sona said.

"Definitely. Who would have thought that I would get an opportunity like this" I laughed.

"Ok then, Let's begin" Sona started transferring demonic energy from her body to my body. To be honest, it was a strange feeling. I felt like her skin was sticking to my skin. Sona started moving her hand around my upper body. Somehow, after a while, the small scratches on my body disappeared.

"Oh my wounds are disappearing"

"Hold still. I need to concentrate" At the same time, she gave me more details. Evil piece turns a human body into a devil's body. At the same time, the reincarnated person gets the abilities related to evil piece and demonic power as well. But the King piece is different. Although it does not give additional abilities, King can contribute to increasing the strength of anyone in his peerage.

In that way, if the king wants to heal an injured person, sending the demonic power through the skin to the concerned person is an easy and quick method.

"Ok, I can understand now" I smiled.

She got silent.

"Hmm, That means if I become a high-class devil, I can also use this method, right?"

"So you're trying to become a High-class devil Issei? I'm always getting surprise by you. You know everything about devils right" Sona made a small chuckle.

"The only way to reach my dream is to become a high-class devil"

"Your dream!"

"Yeah. Creating a harem for myself," I said. After that I heard Sona start to laugh.

"So that's your dream Issei!"

"Yeah" I turned my face away from her.

"Issei! Did I embarrass you?"

"Huh! No,No kaichou" I smiled to hide my emotions but this isn't my dream. After coming to this world, I didn't have a goal. So I chose Issei's goal and started working for it. The first one is to survive in this world without any problem. The second is to make the best harem I can make. It's for Issei who died in this world.

"Since my childhood, I wanted to marry several women and live happily with them. But I realised that I can't get one in this world. After that, I might have become a pervert, Because I thought I might succeed in this dream. After that, I got to know about this sacred gear of mine. Then I became your pawn. Now my goal is to become a high-class devil."

"It's good to have a goal, Issei. Ok then Your last injury also closed so you can go now" She released me from her grasp.

"Ok thank you Kaichou, I take my leave then" I tried to get away from the bathroom without looking at her.

"Issei? Thank you for telling me about your dream" After hearing that I smiled.

"I'm happy too," After that I left the council room and started to walk to my home.

'Who knew something like this would happen. At first I thought that Rias was a pervert girl in the anime so she helped Issei in that way. But looking at it now, this is true. In peerage, the King can help his servant in this way as well' I thought in my mind.

(Looks like someone is very happy)

"Ddraig!! Don't startle me" His voice sometime it's really annoying.

(Haha, This is amazing. I'm always watching you Issei Hyoudou) Anyway, Ddraig teased me all the way home.

After a while, I approached the house.

"I'm back" As soon as I opened the door and entered, I could see Asia sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"What happened?" I looked at her. But she didn't say anything. At the same time, I saw that the mother spoke to me.

"Mother what's happened. Asia looks sad"

"Your friends didn't show up Issei, Thats why" Father told me.

"Huh, But they said they will definitely come today" I said.

"They must have a reason. But Issei Asia was waiting for this day. She was very happy since this morning because she was happy that she could meet some new friends" Mother said with a sad voice.

"I see" Maybe this is my fault. If I didn't go on the date with Momo today, something like this wouldn't have happened.

At the same time, I called Murayama to ask if she could come now. Because now it's past 9pm. But luck is not with me today. All three have turned off their phones. I have no idea what happened to them. I could have gone to see them. But seeing Asia sitting like that, my mind did not allow me to do that. So I postponed that work until tomorrow. Suddenly father started to chuckle.

"Huh" I looked at my father's face.

"Gorou, What on earth are you doing? Asia will hear you" Mother tried to stop him from laughing.

"Don't worry son. I got this situation"

"What!?" He patted my back and said "bring Asia here and let's eat quickly"

Thinking of doing what He said, I went to Asia and sat with her.

"Asia! They must have a reason. Shall we eat now? It is past 9 o'clock"

"Huh" She looked at me.

"Issei!! when did you come home"

"Then you didn't see me?"

"No" Asia's face started to become red because of the embarrassment.

"Welcome back!" She started to mumble.

"I'm back" I said while laughing.

"Don't laugh"

Few moments later

After calming Asia down, we sat down at the table to eat. Anyway, there was some food left today. But because the food Asia made was delicious, I was able to eat more than I usually eat.

"I can't, my stomach is completely full"

"Looked at the big man, You said that you will give 1000 Yen to the person who eats the most food today, and now I own it"

"No, I didn't say something like that" Father turned his face away.

"Gorou, You lose" Mother said.

"Yes! It's my win" I shouted. At the same time, I saw how sad Asia was. She was waiting for today, but nothing happened.

"Asia!" I called her name.

"Huh, I'm ok. Don't worry about me" She showed her usual smile, but it didn't take long for mom and dad to find out that she was sad.

"Okay, so let's talk a little" Dad took a file from his suitcase and handed it to Asia.

"What is this?" she asked, looking at her father.

"Asia, do you want to be our daughter?" Father asked Asia, Looking at mother's face. After that mother nodded.

"Me! your daughter! But" Asia tried to say something, before that mother dragged her into a hug.

"It's ok Asia, You are not a burden to us. What is your answer?" Mother asked.

At the same time, I saw tears falling from Asia's eyes, but not sad tears, but happy tears. "I'm happy to become your daughter"

She started to cry in happiness.

"So Issei! Finally you got a step sister"

I folded my arms and leaned into the chair.

"You guys are too late. Did you remember to do that now?" Father made a surprised expression.

"So, did you have doubts before?" Mother asked while holding Asia.

"Yes, you both loved Asia like a daughter, But I hoped that the work would be finished earlier. But It's okay"

"Asia, welcome to my crazy family!" I said while smiling.

"So Asia, how are you talking to Issei now? He is your brother" Mother asked.

"How about the Oni-chan sound?" Father asked.

"Hey stop that! Issei is fine" I said.

"But brother means !?" Asia started to mumble something. But I couldn't hear it well.

"Don't worry You can marry him without any problem, Asia" Mother said while laughing.

I didn't expect one. Hearing that, the piece of fruit that I was keeping in my mouth was suddenly thrown out.

"Mother!" I tried shut her mouth. At the same time, Asia suddenly got up from the chair and started walking towards to her room.

"Look at what you did, how I look at her face now" Both my parents started laughing at once.

"Don't worry Issei, She got embarrassed" Father said.

"She didn't even sign it" The mother pointed to the file.

Anyway, the three of us decided to sign the documents tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is a special day,

Tomorrow is Asia's first day of Kuoh academy. I also have school tomorrow, So I came to my room after a while. At the same time, I looked at Asia's room and it seems that she has already gone to sleep.

"Good night, Asia"

Meanwhile, Asia is in her room:

"Why did you say such a thing, In front of Issei mother?"

"What would Issei think of me?" She hugged her pillow and tried to hide her face.

A family is something she never dreamed of before. She lived alone in a big church and now she has a father and a mother. She was sad, but she was also happy that she healed the devil. If she hadn't done that, maybe she wouldn't have met Issei.

"Issei Oni-chan…It's weird" She smiled.

After that she tries to sleep with the aim of waking up early to go to school tomorrow, but she knows that she won't get to sleep today.

I think the Asia's arc is done (only a half)…

And now I can go to next arc, but before that I have some things to complete. Let's find out about it in the next chapter. Please forgive me if you see some grammar errors in this.
