A/N: Good grief, has it been that long? Hey guys sorry for like… abandoning this whole story for a good… I'm not even gonna check. Truthfully I've kinda forgotten about DxD and FGO, and only really remembered about this story when I read up that we had an Asterios focused event and also got Theseus as a Servant. Also a meme image that I'll attach afterwards. Side note, I've also gotten a job and I salute those mad lads that write while having a job, anyways enjoy this I guess lmao.

"Hmm? Oh, hello Minos-san!"

Asterios looked up from the cat that he was having a staring contest with to turn to the source of the voice. It was an elderly woman, one of the human neighbours of where he and Koneko lived, and she seemed rather surprised to see him currently outside of the house.

Slowly he stood up from where he was crouching, seeing the elderly woman head crane up as he did, and tilted his head "hello miss, it's a nice day today…"

"It is quite nice isn't it?" The elderly woman smiled as she looked up at the bright blue sky, then she frowned and turned her attention back towards him "I'm surprised that you're still here Minos-san, shouldn't you and Toujou-san be at school right now?"

Shaking his head, Asterios answered "koneko is sick right now, she has a stomach ache and i'm staying to help her."

The taller boy tilted his head abit when he saw the elderly woman's face grow strained.

"Oh…" she paused and placed a hand on her cheek "I hope she's alright, what happened to her?"

"she ate too much candy," he replied, trying to think back of the several bowls of it that she had devoured "it was during the cel-a-bra-tion yesterday, and now she's sick."

Asterios couldn't help but feel just a bit confused when the woman let out a sigh of relief "So that's why, and here I thought…" she mumbled out before she cut herself off.

"Well in any case, tell Koneko I said hello and tell her to take better care of herself."

Asterios nodded "i will."

Then the woman appeared to have finally noticed the cat that was still present and once more the frown appeared on her face. "And please shoo away that cat," she pointed a finger at the animal "I swear those thing have been tearing up the garbage bags around here lately."

As the woman walked away, Asterios saw how the black cat stared at the retreating figure of the woman with its narrowed yellow eyes and slitted pupils. After a while, it turned its attention back to Asterios.

The Minotaur in disguise took the chance to try and reach out for the cat with one his hands to pet it.

Only for him to sadly retract it when the cat instead turned and started walking away. He let out a sigh, and then stood up.

As he did he tried to remember what he was doing, before he had gotten distracted by the cat and the elderly woman that had approached him. He was reminded when he brushed against the garbage bag by his shin and tipped it over, luckily it was tied up or else he would've have to clean up the many many candy wrappers inside it.

"oh right, cleaning up…" It was a rather foreign thing for Asterios to do. Since there was no real reason to clean up the Labyrinth, so for the first few weeks when Koneko had invited him into her home, he didn't really understand the whole reason and process for cleaning up.

Now they have a schedule!

Which was nice, because it felt like he was helping.

Grabbing the massive plastic bag, the Minotaur-in-disguise brought it all the way to where it was supposed to be disposed of. He turned his head and wanted to ask Koneko for something like he usually did.

But paused as he realized that she was still at home due to the stomach ache. He shook his head and walked silently.

Dumping the trash bag, Asterios saw that a black cat was waiting for him. He tilted his head and tried to think that it was the same black cat as before. Once more Asterios reached forward to try and pet the animal.

He drew his hand back when it let out a growl this time, instead of merely turning away.

Sighing sadly, the Minotaur turned away from the car and walked back to the house.

[Scene]

Koneko Toujou shifted in place, moving her body to find a more comfortable position on the surface she was lying on.

She turned on her stomach and lied on her arms.

Underneath her, Asterios kept still as he stared up at the ceiling while Koneko was shifting in place on his chest. Once she was done moving, the Minotaur lifted his head slightly.

Red eyes met with annoyed yellow one, a pout accompanied those yellow eyes, as the cat ears on her head twitched around in frustration.

"what's wrong koneko?" Asterios had to ask.

It took a moment for the Devil to reply, shifting on the spot until she was lying her side this time. After she did, she let out an annoyed grumble "My stomach still hurts."

Asterios face dropped into a frown, but since he couldn't really do anything to help he gave a sad grunt and then lowered his head.

Koneko sighed, and then turned her body until she was lying on her back once more. Her eyes staring up at the same ceiling that the Minotaur was looking at.

After a moment, the white haired Devil spoke up "Hey Asterios, can you pet my stomach?"

Confused at the request, yet never one to really say no, the Minotaur raised his massive hand and gently placed it onto the exposed belly of the Devil ontop of him.

He felt her arms wrap themselves around the hand, and the Minotaur just a bit confused when he felt Koneko vibrate just a bit.

Soon however the vibrating feeling left, and was then replaced by the feeling of magic humming through his hand.

Well that and he could feel her ears and tail twitching against him, the former almost reaching his nose.

As the magic hummed, Asterios let out a satisfied hum as he could feel the lingering pain in his hands fade away even more. Simultaneously, Koneko let out her own contented hum as stomach ache that had been plaguing her the whole day.

"Wow it worked." Koneko spoke up in surprised.

"ohhh" Asterios let out an impressed sound "koneko, new healing magic?"

There was a pause for a few seconds, prompting Asterios to tilt his head down. He saw the yellow eyes of Koneko, who had tilted her head up.

"Nah, I just wanted you to pet my stomach, your hands feels really warm you know." She pursed her lips "Then I thought, what if I did the Devil Magic thing with Senjutsu instead?"

She paused, and then those eyes turned worried "You don't feel anything weird do you?"

Asterios went silent, and then closed his eyes for a few seconds.

"no…" The Minotaur shook his head "i don't feel weird, my hand hurts less though."

"It can heal others to, noted." Koneko kept her gaze on the Minotaur underneath her and smiled "Thanks."

Asterios let out a grunt and lifted up his hand.

Only for a pair of small, yet still extremely strong, hands to grab it. Those same hands pulled the larger one and placed it flat once more onto Koneko's belly.

"I didn't tell you to stop." Koneko pouted.

"sorry…"

[Scene]

"Oh so that's why no one saw Asterios and Koneko the whole day." Issei nodded his head as Rias explained "Wondered where the big guy was."

"Turns out eating all of those sweets gave her a pretty harsh stomach ache," Yuuto gave an amused smile "Who knew?"

Issei grinned and chuckled "You know, I bet sweets aren't the only thing that made her stomach hurt."

"Oh no!" Asia was quick to speak up, her blue eyes shining with worry "Did something happen? Was my healing after the Rating Game not enough?"

Looking at the innocent look of concern on the former nun's face, Issei opened his mouth, closed it, opened his mouth once more and let out a single strangled "Uh…"

"Now now, there's no need to gossip about such things behind one's back."

A chill reached down Issei's back, even more so when he could almost feel as if the air was crackling with electricity at the words. He turned to see the usual cheerful face of Akeno Himejima, the senior had a smile on her face and her eyes were pleasantly shut.

"Especially regarding such topics, don't you think so Ise-kun?"

Despite that Issei was under no delusion to think that the smile wasn't a dangerous sign.

Even Yuuto had raised up his hands in surrender and was leaning away from the Vice-President.

"Uh yeah, totally, understandable, uh-huh, got it!"

The brunette listed of every affirmation he could think of, hoping that he didn't get shocked.

From behind her desk, Rias smirked at the sight and then lightly tapped on the wooden table drawing their attention towards the redhead. "Akeno's little fit of jealousy aside-"

Rias ignored the unamused look on her friend's face

"-With Koneko not coming in today for her Devil duties, I'm going to have to give some her usual clients to the others." Rias sighed "Normally just one day should be fine…"

"But we've been away for more than just one day haven't we?" Yuuto finished.

"Exactly. Requests and clients have been piling ever since we went on our little training camp." Rias confirmed.

Issei shrugged "Then I guess I'll be doing it then? Ah well, I've been wanting to talk Morisawa for a while again."

Rias smiled "Don't worry Ise, I won't giving it all to you. Believe it or not, it seems that you've also started to get request for you," The redhead relished the surprised but pleased look on the brunette's face "We'll be delegating them between each other, to lighten the load." Blue eyes swept across the club house to the rest of the Devils "Is that okay with you all?"

"Yes Master!"

And then suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Rias glanced at Akeno, who shook her head, before looking back at the door with a frown.

Before she could saw anything Issei had stood up and walked towards it.

The Pawn opened the door to see the shocked face of a blonde girl with red eyes.

"Who-"

[Scene]

"-Are you…?" Issei blinked and he was surprised that, instead of the cute blonde girl that he had just seen, he was looking in an empty hallway instead.

He looked around, confused.

"Who was it Issei?" Yuuto asked, his voice serious.

Scratching his head, the Pawn answered "I could've sworn I saw a girl just now," Once more he looked around "But she's gone."

Rias then noticed a slip of paper on her desk, something that Akeno saw as well.

On it wrote a single line

'I want to help to'

Both of them smiled as they read the simple request on it.

"Don't worry Ise," Rias called out to the brunette "That's actually the other Bishop we've talked about before."

"Oh," Issei turned away from the door "That's the one in the basement right? You guys didn't tell me she was cute girl!"

As Asia pouted in jealousy, Akeno, Yuuto and Rias all looked each other with just a slight hint of amusement.
