Alright here's the next one guys. Not much to say but let's just get into it. Also, remember when I said that there was people that I needed to help with something? Yeah well I set up a gofundme for these people in need so if you could go ahead and help them out that'd be great. Just search "no longer disabled?" on gofundme. Help the kids out a bit.
Lastly, in case you didn't read the latest chapter of Red Dragon Of Golden Light, I had a bit of a rant on there and honestly it was a bit hilarious. It's really funny now that I think about it. I just get so heated when I talk about that topic. In fact I'm gonna copy and paste it just to show you so here it is:
Anyway, I think I'm gonna go into a little rant. The other day, I had a fifth person ask me if I'm hyped for season 4 of DxD. I had been asked 4 times before and I gave them my true thoughts. Just so people will stop asking here's my answer: NO. ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT. Wanna know why? Because the anime for DxD is FUCKING GARBAGE. Now, now, when I say that I only mean as a whole because of one reason. THE 3RD SEASON. The first two seasons are beautiful, perfect, mwah! Love them!...But the 3rd fucking season….IS ONE OF THE WORST ABOMINATIONS OF AN ANY MANGA, NOVEL, COMIC, ADAPTION I HAVE EVER SEEN SINCE TOKYO GHOUL. IT'S ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DISGUSTING AND AN INSULT TO THE SERIES. Why? Well here's why :D. EVERYTHING IS FUCKING RUINED. The Cannon lore is ruined, the power balance is ruined, the plot is ruined, the arc setup is ruined, the characters are ruined, the character development is ruined, JUGGERNAUT DRIVE WAS RUINED, LOKI WAS RUINED, ISSEI WAS RUINED, AKENO WAS RUINED, THEIR ABILITIES WERE RUINED, EVERYTHING WAS FUCKING RUINED. Like REALLY?! Issei can just use Palingual for no fucking reason?! Okay! Akeno doesn't reconcile with her father but instead just ruins the intimate scene with Issei that was before the battle but they put it after and all problems are solved?! Okay! Asia can just wake issei up from a random coma that makes no sense and serves no purpose by "healing him or something"?! Okay! ISSEI IS NO LONGER AFRAID OF RAYNARE AND HIS DEVELOPMENT IS RUINED WITH THE GIRLS BECAUSE OUT OF NOWHERE OPHIS COMES IN AND SAYS "OH LOOK AT THIS BLACK LITTLE BALL OF OOZE THAT WAS CLOUDING HIS HEART LET ME JUST DESTROY IT REAL QUICK AND ELIMINATE HIS CHARACTER ARC BECAUSE THE WRITERS ARE A BUNCH OF PANSY LAZY FUCKS HAHA"?! THAT SHIT HAS TO BE THE WORST PART. What about Loki?! Well, let's have him taken down by only Issei without his armor, after dying for absolutely no reason, while holding Mjolnir's replica, that we didn't set up or explain, and then have Loki CURSE HIM?! Well he is Loki so that's not that far fetched right? I mean he is the God of mischief a curse should be easy. So what type of curse should we make it? OH! LET'S MAKE IT ONE WHERE HE CAN CREATE A PERFECT CLONE OF ISSEI AND FAKE BOOSTED GEAR THAT CAN HYPNOTISE PEOPLE AND THEN BECOME A MINI VERSION OF JUGGERNAUT DRIVE THAT FIGHTS RIAS AND ISSEI AFTER RIAS ALREADY USED A FAKE SCALE MAIL?! YES! BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY HOW ALL THIS STUPID SHIT WORKS! FUUUUUUCK YOUUU STUDIO TNK! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOUUUU!
….Haah…...Jesus fuck…..why the fuck do you think the art style changed from 3rd to 4th season? IT'S BECAUSE THE FUCKING STUDIO CHANGED. IT'S NOT THE SAME STUDIO FUCKS AS BEFORE. OF COURSE THE ART STYLE CHANGED. IT'S DIFFERENT PEOPLE WORKING ON IT NOW. So am I excited for season 4? No. I am not. Because the story for the anime has been ruined so badly I can never go back. Fuck that anime…...I'll still watch it tho. But just because it disgusts me: I'm not gonna use a legal streaming site just for that anime. Not gonna support it in any way. Crunchyroll can wait for the other ones.
Anyway! Rant over. Sorry. This topic REALLY gets me heated. It's fine if you guys like the that season that's fine. Just know: the writing is shit, the characters are shit, the action is shit, the romance is shit, the soundtrack is shit, and NO VS. SITRI GAME?!
P.S. Studio TNK are the ones who made "School Days". Fuck you.
Haha. Let's get into the chapter.
-Scene-
It's morning in the Hyoudou Household. The residents were currently eating breakfast like usual. At this point there weren't any awkward breakfasts. They've become used to their lifestyle already.
Rrr!
Issei stood from his seat after he finished his food.
"Okay. Time to go. Let's go Ray."
Issei's mother looked at him curiously.
"Are? Where are you taking Ray-chan Ise?"
"Ah, I'm taking her to school. Somebody I know wants to talk with her."
"Hm? Who's that?"
"It's okay Kaa-san. Don't worry about it."
Raynare cut in and stood from her chair. She walked to Issei.
"Let's go."
"Mm."
Issei and Raynare walked out of the house with their mother calling out to them.
"Be safe!"
"Okay!"
Dakun
-Kuoh Academy-
Rias was sitting at her desk patiently. The only other member with her was her Vice President, Akeno. It was silent until they heard a knock on the door. The person they were expecting.
Knock Knock
"Come in."
The door opened and the ones who entered were Issei and an unknown person.
'The Fallen Angel' - thought Rias seriously.
Raynare felt her blood freeze when she laid eyes upon Rias.
Rias Gremory. Heir to the esteemed Gremory clan. Younger sister to the Maou Lucifer. And inheritor of the Bael clan's Power Of Destruction. She was truly afraid.
"What's up?"
She looked to her left and saw Issei looking down at her curiously. Or more accurately, now that she has become closer with him, she could tell it was a look of concern despite seeming blank.
"Ah…..No...Nothing."
He only stared at her for a bit then faced forward casually. However, his hand seemed to wrap itself around her own.
"Please sit."
"Mm."
Issei walked towards the couch on the left while not releasing Raynare's hand, prompting her to follow.
"Welcome back Ise."
"Mm."
Issei responded casually despite the tension by everyone else.
"So then….I assume that you are the Fallen Angel that has been lurking in my territory?"
Rias spoke in an authoritative tone. No matter how much it irritated her, Raynare felt she was in a too vulnerable position to let her pride step in.
"Yes. I am Raynare."
Raynare answered cautiously but firmly. Rias was staring her down with a stern look. Meanwhile her VP, Akeno, was pouring tea for them with a usual smile, but behind it was a slight disgust.
"So then, Raynare. What exactly are you doing here in my territory?"
"...Nothing….I'm…..I'm just living peacefully here….with Ise."
"Hmm….is that so?...Well…..what was it that you were planning before you met Ise?"
"!"
Raynare felt cornered. She doesn't have a backstory. Even if she could somehow justify her current relationship and situation with Issei, her original plans and reason for coming to this town can't be fabricated very easily. Nor did she think she would have to.
"...That's….."
She didn't know what to answer with.
"You had asked Ise here on a date that he refused. Then, the day you decided to spend time together, you ended up trying to kill him…..so I assume your intentions were nefarious then."
"!"
'She knows! How does she know? Was she spying on us? Or did Ise tell her? He may well have! Dammit! Why is he such an idiot?! Why did I have to put my trust in such an idiot?! Why did I have to fa-?!...'
"What does Nefarious mean?"
Issei asked that dubiously.
The women in the room sweatdropped. Raynare responded nervously.
"It means Evil…."
Issei looked at Raynare with a confused expression.
"Ray isn't Evil."
"Oh? And how exactly do you know that for sure Ise?"
Rias asked Ise suspiciously. He answered honestly.
"Because she's my friend."
"Just because she's your friend doesn't mean she's not Evil."
"Yes it does."
"How?"
"Because I don't make friends with Evil people."
"How am I supposed to know that?"
"By looking."
"How am I supposed to know that by looking?"
"By using your eyes."
"I know that! I am asking you how does simply observing you dictate whether her actions are nefarious or not!"
"Because if you don't see her doing bad things then she's not Evil."
"That doesn't prove anything! She could still be doing Evil things in the shadows!"
"But she's not."
"How would I know that?!"
"Because she hasn't done anything bad yet."
"How do I know you're not lying?!"
"Because I'm not."
"RRRRGGHH!"
BAN!
Rias slammed her head on the desk.
…..
"...Bucho-"
"Alright."
-!-
Rias responded with her face in the desk. She lifted her head.
"I give….I believe you…"
[What?!]
Both Raynare and Akeno were shocked by Rias statement.
"Buchou. You can't believe such a thing. This Fallen is dangerous. Koneko-chan saw her try to kill him. Of course she has an ulterior motive. He's just lying to you."
Rias looked up at Akeno with an exhausted expression.
"Akeno…...do you really believe that boy is capable of lying?..."
Akeno looked towards Ise. He simply retained a blank expression…..He waved at her…..
"...No….I suppose not….."
"...Indeed…..He is too…..honest….."
Issei just tilted his head.
"So is that it? Are we good?"
"Ye….Yes. I suppose that's enough. At the very least I can trust your word that she won't do anything dangerous from now on right?"
"Yeah."
Raynare nodded as well. That was fast.
"...Well….Alright then...Don't worry about it…..just…..make sure to keep her on a leash."
Rias said that quite exasperated while rubbing her temples.
"Rias-senpai."
"Hm?"
"That's perverted."
"..."
Rias couldn't even get mad.
"Alright. If that's all we're gonna head to class. Ray's gotta get home anyway."
"Yeah, Yeah.."
"Ah. That reminds me."
Issei was about to walk out with Raynare but he stopped and walked back to Rias' desk.
"I have a favor to ask."
"Hm? What's that?"
"Can you enroll Ray into the school?"
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
…..
The girls didn't register fully what Issei had said.
"...What?..."
"Y'know. Like if you can get her into the school. Cuz it'll be weird if she just stays at home all the time without going back to school. She still looks young Y'know. So it'll be weird if she doesn't go to school. My Mama and Pops will worry about her future. So can you get her in?"
"You…...you want me to get your Fallen Angel girlfriend into a school full of innocent human students because your parents will worry for her future?"
"She's not my girlfriend, she's my family. And this school isn't full of humans because you guys are Devils."
"..."
Rias sighed and brought back her serious attitude.
"I can certainly do that Ise…...but that is a high task to ask of me…..I could understand if she was only to remain at your home under your supervision….but even if we are all here during school hours, there's no guarantee she won't go on some spree or take a hostage in order to get the upper hand on us….if I am to enroll her than I need to hear her honest answers…I want to know it all."
Rias peered behind Issei to send a look to Raynare. She flinched. Truthfully, she knew it would be a better idea to have her at the school where she is always being observed, but she wanted to know exactly what it is that drove Raynare to come here and stay. She didn't like being left in the dark on things. Plus, she wasn't going to get any answers from Issei.
'No way out huh.' - Raynare thought that morbidly as she knew only an honest answer would work.
She took a breath and spoke clearly.
"My original mission that I was sent here for was to observe Hyoudou Issei for a potential sacred gear. I disobeyed my orders and instead opted to take his life…...my pride and childish hope clouded my mind…..so I made a foolish decision….one that should've taken my life…...but Ise spared me…..and…..took me in...…...he said I was his family...…...his parents accepted me….I...…..have a home?..."
As Raynare continued speaking her tone became softer and she began pausing. Soon enough, the reality of her situation started to set in. And silent tears fell down her cheeks.
All her life she's never had a place to belong. Not heaven. Not her bases. Not anywhere. Not a place she could call home. Her allies did not accept her. They dealt with her. They tolerated each other. But never really became friends. She suddenly remembered some of Issei's words from a few days ago when they were shopping at the store. A few insignificant words that he threw out casually like it was normal. But to Raynare the words held immense significance, without even knowing.
Let's go home.
...
She silently sobbed.
"...I see…."
"...Eh?"
Rias lowered her head with a small smile. She couldn't help but see her friend in the Fallen…..said friend herself could only look away as to avoid having to process the complex emotions the scene was prompting her to feel.
Raynare lifted her head in surprise but was met with a close up of Issei's face.
"Ah?!"
Raynare jumped back in shock. Issei simply tilted his head.
"...What's wrong?"
There it was. He asked that in the same tone as a few days before when Raynare cried. The tone of a sweet child. Despite his blank expression, the implications of Issei's words were clear.
Seeing Raynare cry made him hurt.
Raynare could only stand in silence. She didn't know how to respond anymore. After a few seconds of silence she wiped her tears.
"No….nothing….I'm okay.."
"...Really?..."
"Yeah….I'm okay…"
She sent him a rare smile. Even though she was in her intimidating Raynare form, it was innocent enough.
"Very well then. I'll have her enrolled by next week."
Raynare was struck with a sudden shock.
'Oh shit! I forgot I answered to get into the school! Dammit!'
Raynare mentally facepalmed. She wasn't intending to get into the school.
"Thanks. Let's go Ray."
"Eh? Ah, Yeah."
"Bye Rias."
"Mm. Thank you for coming. Let's get along from now on, Raynare."
"A-Ah, Yeah."
Dakun
They left the room.
"Are you sure that was the wise decision Buchou?..."
"Do you think it was wrong Akeno?...I couldn't look at her as a threat after that…..doesn't she remind you of something?"
"...No….."
-DxD-
Issei was walking Raynare home before he'd walk back to school.
"...You don't have to walk me home.."
"Hm? Mama said a gentleman always walks a woman home. And I'm supposed to protect Ray."
"...What about when you're at school?"
"Mama can protect you."
"Hahaha~"
Raynare couldn't help but laugh lightheartedly at Issei's comment. Issei just looked at her dubiously.
"Mama is scary."
"Hehe. Yes, I'm sure she is…...But I'll be the one protecting Mama."
Raynare's statement had Issei tilting his head.
"Hm? But I protect Mama."
"I know….but I also….."
"Hm?"
Issei just stared at Raynare. She had a somewhat determined expression on her face.
"Ise."
"Hide."
"Eh?"
"Hide, now."
Raynare was taken aback Issei's sudden seriousness. His blank face was looking straight ahead of him, where there was nothing. Nevertheless she complied and hid behind a tree in the small park nearby.
Foo!
The sound of wings flapping was in the air. Raynare looked up to the sky and was shocked to see her former allies.
"Is this the target?"
"Looks like it."
"Hah?! He doesn't look that strong though~!"
From left to right 3 Fallen Angels floated in the sky. The first was a blue haired vixen with an erotic appearance, Kalawarner. The middle was a man in a dark gray trench coat and hat with an intimidating appearance, Donasheek. The final one was a young looking girl dressed in a gothic loli outfit, Mitlet.
"Oi, Brat. You are the one with the sacred gear right? Did you kill Raynare?"
"No. I did defeat her though."
"Hm. She must've run away then."
"Haha~! I knew she was all talk~!"
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it now. It seems we'll have to do this ourselves."
"Hah?! All of us?! But that's booooooooring~!"
"Stop complaining Mitlet. We're already here so let's just get the job done and report back."
"Yes."
"Yeah, Yeah."
The Fallen Angels took battle stances and spawned light spears. They act as if Issei is no threat yet they all came together to avoid failure. Issei questioned them and Mitlet answered.
"Hm? You guys want to fight?"
No~! We want to kill you stupid~!"
"You can't do that."
"Hah?! Why not pretty boy?"
"Because you're too weak for that."
"Eh?"
The 3 looked at each other in disbelief.
[Hahahahahahahahahaha!]
They laughed loudly together.
"Too weak~?! Haha! You tell really good jokes kid! Just cuz you had that loser Raynare running with her tail between her legs doesn't mean you'll have us doing the same!"
"?"
Issei tilted his head.
…
"...Are?..."
Mitlet felt confused. The sun was burning bright in her eyes in the empty park, yet despite that somehow it seems to have gotten darker. It wasn't till she looked up that she realized Issei was floating in front of her, towering over her and blocking the view from the sun with his giant figure.
Giant?
He had his huge Dragon wings spread out.
"Don't call Ray mean names."
"...E-Eh?..."
Issei said that to Mitlet in a firm "parent" like tone with a somewhat stern expression.
"...Y-...Yes…."
Issei was so intimidating and similar to an adult scolding a child that she couldn't help but conform in a docile manner. It took her a few seconds to realize what she was doing.
"...H-Hey! Wait a minute! Who the Hell are you to tell me what to do?!"
"Hyoudou Issei."
"I don't care about your name!"
"Ray's family."
"I don't even know what that f*cking means!"
"Because Ray is my family."
"I know what family means Dumbass!"
"But you said you didn't."
"Who the Hell are you?!"
"I already told you."
"I don't care about your name! I mean what are you?!"
"I'm human."
"I know that! I'm asking what Sacred Gear you have!"
"The Boosted Gear."
"Which one is that?!"
"This one."
Shiin!
"What the Hell is that?!"
"The Boosted Gear."
"What does it do?!"
"Doubles my power."
"You mean a twice critical?!"
"No, this is the Boosted Gear."
"What's the difference?!"
"A lot. This one has armor."
"I don't see any armor!"
"I haven't put it on yet."
"MITLET!"
"WHAT?!"
Mitlet was called out by one of her colleagues, Kalawarner. She turned to them angrily and saw the two frozen in midair with fear in their eyes.
"...Mitlet….That….That is…"
Mitlet slowly turned slowly back to Issei. The moment she laid eyes on the Gear the glistening green orb seemed to blind her. But more than that the light that shone off of it sucked her in. When the light died down…..
A giant Red Dragon stared her down.
MMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
…
"?What's with her?"
Issei pointed at Mitlet curiously. For some reason she was just floating there staring at Issei's Gear like she wasn't even conscious. The other two didn't respond either so he just waved his hand in front of Mitlet's face to get a response. It took her a few seconds to get back.
"E-EEP-?!-!...N-!...Uwwwa-!-!-...w-!..."
She was just a stuttering mess. Every part of her brain was scrambling in fear. It was only now that she was aware of Issei's brutally overwhelming aura. Her colleagues were well aware of it as well.
Issei wasn't because he has it out all the time.
"This-! This is bad-! We have to report this immediately!"
Kalawarner was the first to try to fly away but she was stopped. Issei was right in front of her.
"Wait, hold on. Don't you want to talk with Ray?"
Issei asked that plainly though to the Fallen Angels, the implications behind his words as well as his actions were misconstrued. They heard:
Do you want to die?
-!-
SHHII!
Pakin!
"AH-?!"
….
Out of nowhere a light spear flew straight at one of Mitlet's wings, but was destroyed once making contact with the Boosted Gear.
"Don't throw sharp things at people."
-!?-
The other Fallen Angels turned to the direction where the spear came from. It was Donasheek.
"Tch!"
"WHAT THE HELL DONASHEEK?!"
Mitlet screamed in pure rage at Donasheek to which he only responded in a cold tone.
"If it was for the purpose of letting Kalawarner and I escape then you should be willing to sacrifice yourself."
"Wha-?! Sacrifice?! MY ASS! GO TO HELL YOU WORTHLESS F*CK-!"
ZIP
"?!"
Before he knew it Donasheek was facing Issei. This time his face was different. His facial features, though childlike and soft in nature, were clashing with his actual expression. Donasheek could not see Issei's face due to the light of the sun behind him casting a shadow on his form, but his eyes were visible. He could read Issei's expression through them alone. His usually soft eyes were were strained in a glare.
Issei was finally angry.
At first glance, he looks like a child pouting angrily at his parent for taking his toy, but considering his figure, aura, and Sacred Gear- he looked terrifying to those around. He was genuinely angry.
"If you do that again, I won't forgive you."
-!-
Issei's aura expanded unconsciously. All of them froze under the immense pressure. Truly an aura of pure domination.
"Ise! That's enough!"
Raynare emerged from her hiding spot and called out to Issei. Once she did his aura almost immediately disappeared and he returned to his usual manner.
"Ray. What's wrong?"
"Wha-?! Raynare! You're alive!"
"Yeah I said she was alive."
Shiin!
A red magic circle shone on the ground beneath them.
"That symbol-!"
"Devils?!"
"Ah, it's Rias and the others."
Foo!
Donasheek had apparently taken the chance at everyone's attention being directed at Raynare and the devils to escape. He was already quite a ways off.
"Ah, he ran."
If it weren't for Raynare's appearance Issei would not have been distracted enough to let him get away.
"Let's go Mitlet!"
"Y-Yeah!"
The other two planned to follow, but were stopped by Issei in front of them while holding his hands up.
"Wait hold on. I still want you guys to talk with Ray. You're friends right?"
Shiiin…..
The light of the magic circle finally died down and revealed the entire group of Devils.
"They're here!"
"Sh*t!"
Mitlet and Kalawarner looked down morbidly. Surely they were doomed.
"Good day, Fallen Angels. May I ask what it is exactly that you are doing in my territory?"
Rias greeted the shocked Fallen Angels once she emerged. Issei responded to her.
"These are Ray's friends."
"Hm? I see. Her Former allies are they?"
"No I'm pretty sure they're still friends."
"?!- Aha! So she was conspiring in nefarious activity after all!"
"No."
"What? Why not?"
"Because she isn't."
"But you said they're still friends."
"Yeah but that doesn't mean she's doing anything bad."
"That doesn't make any sense!"
"Rias Gremory."
While Rias and Issei were about to get into another one of the "interactions" that seems to always happen with Issei around, Raynare interrupted.
"Hm?"
"Don't worry, they aren't my allies anymore."
Raynare said that grimly. A chill washed down both of the girls spines as they assumed the worst.
"I see. In that case that makes things much easier."
Rias said that as she looked up at the two darkly. They were going to die.
"W-W-W-Wait! Please! Spare us! We-! We weren't going to do anything! We just thought-!"
"Save me your fallacies scum. If you attack an ally of mine, then you shall face the consequences."
Rias immediately tossed away Mitlet's pleas. As far as Rias was concerned they were caught red handed, no need for trial. She flared a bit of her demonic aura.
"Ah. What're you doing Rias?"
Issei flew in front of the two girls into Rias line of sight, effectively covering them with his wings.
"Ise…..What are you doing?"
"I already asked you that."
"I know you did Ise. I am asking you."
"But I asked you first."
"I-!...If you must know I am about to cast judgment on the guilty souls."
"Is that from the bible?"
"...No I can't read the bible…"
"Sounds like it."
"Well it's not."
"I know but it sounds like it."
"You-!...Nnnnnn-! Ise get out of the way!"
"But you didn't tell me what you were going to do."
"I am going to ELIMINATE THEM!"
"You can't do that. These are Ray's friends."
"Did you not hear her?! She already said they were no longer her allies!"
"Yeah but they're still her friends. Allies and friends are different."
"Uuurrrrrgggghhh!"
Rias groaned in frustration and impatience. Though she knew deep inside there was no winning with Issei. Issei turned to Raynare.
"Ray, these are still your friends right?"
"...No….they aren't.."
The two girls flinched once more. They're demise was imminent.
…..
Then again this is like the 3rd time they felt like they were gonna die and nothing happened.
"There. You heard her. Now move."
Issei descended from the skies and landed in front of Raynare.
Finally, their deaths were guarantee- YOU GET THE F*CKIN POINT
But actually Issei stood in front of Raynare and stared her down blankly.
….
"...W-What?..."
"..."
He didn't say anything, just stared her down. Soon enough he turned back to Rias.
"See. She's not being honest."
"Eh? Wha-?! I'm not lying!"
"Maybe but you aren't being honest."
"What are you talking about?! These aren't my allies anymore!"
"That's true."
"I don't care what happens to them!"
"That's a lie."
"Wha-?!"
Issei just stared at her. As time passed she became more and vulnerable to his gaze. She has developed some sort of weakness to his mannerisms.
"...I….They aren't my allies…...but…...I don't think they should die…"
Raynare said that hesitantly. Mitlet and Kalawarner felt a bit of hope in their hearts.
"See?"
"...I do see Issei. But I'm afraid Raynare's opinion doesn't make a difference."
She flared her aura once more. Their hope was eradicated.
"Ise…..move."
Issei was standing in front of Rias, even more effectively blocking her view again.
"Ray and I are gonna talk to them."
"Ise…..this is not negotiable…...these Fallen are in my territory under my jurisdiction. This isn't your decision to make."
"This is my territory too."
"No, it's mine and mine alone."
"I already told you Rias, you have to try and share."
"I'm not joking Ise!"
"Neither am I."
"Move Ise!"
"I'm gonna take them home so we can talk. You can come too."
Issei turned around to address the two women in the sky.
"You can come down now. We're gonna go to my house to talk. And I'm probably gonna be late for school so hurry up."
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
The two of them weren't sure on what to do. They exchanged looks and descended after a few seconds of contemplation.
"Ise!"
Issei turned halfway to Rias. She glared at him for a few seconds, but a slow look of realization came over her.
Issei is not someone who could be read off of facial expressions alone. It's impossible. The only way to read him would be if you started to spend large amounts of time with him. The only people who can almost always read him are his parents. And even then their average rate of correct readings are only 80% at most. The more mundane or simple the topic is the easier it is to read him.
All in all, the only way to read him is by using a combination of his minute details in his expression, his words, and the situation. Right now, Issei had made it obvious enough what it was he was trying to say.
Are you coming or not?
…..
"Sigh"
Rias sighed.
'No room for arguments huh?...Hm….lost at my own game.'
"Yes. Let's go."
Mitlet and Kalawarner grew even more nervous. At the very least they thought they could reason with the more seemingly logical Sekiryuutei (Lol), but now it seems like things have a taken a turn for the worst.
-Hyoudou Household-
"HmHmHm~! Hmmmmm~! HmHmHmHmmmmm~!"
Issei's mother was happily humming in the kitchen while washing dishes. Until she heard a knock on the door.
Knock Knock
"Ara. Who could it be at this time? Shiomi-san! Is that you?"
She called out to the door as she walked to it, expecting to see one of her neighbor friends.
Dakun
But instead coming face to face with her son and a large group of friends.
"...Ise?.."
"Hey Mama. We just came back really quick because we have to talk and we can't do it at school."
"...I see….are these your friends?..."
"Yeah."
"...Are any of them going to live here?..."
"...N-..."
He took a quick glance back at Mitlet and Kalawarner.
"...Maybe…."
"...I don't think we can support that many mouths…"
"Ah, don't worry ma'am. We aren't here to stay. We only want to talk….so if you could please let us in and ignore our conversation…."
Rias said that as she was just about to use some manipulation magic on Issei's mother, but right when her eyes flashed red, a hand hovered in front of her face covering her eyes.
It was Issei's. He stared at her silently.
'Fine….'
She gave up and relaxed herself.
"So anyway, we're gonna stay for a bit."
"...Okay….."
Mitlet and Kalawarner honestly didn't know what to think of what transpired that day.
End
Hey Guys bit of a shorter chapter here but as I said sh*ts been hard. Anyway, next chapter Asia gets introduced! YAY! So look forward to that. P.S. if you're expecting a serious outcome to the whole situation with Asia just because this chapter got a tad serious at times, you are sorely mistaken.
Read, Rate, Review, go crazy.
Stay frosty.
