When Issei arrived home, he wondered where his two wives had gone off to and whether he could join them in whatever they were doing. Their school shoes were placed neatly on the shoe rack by the door when he came in so they did arrive home. Question is: where are they? The two would usually come and greet him at the door, usually with an embrace.
The house is strangely quiet except for the television where Asia and Koneko sat (who were dismissed early from school). They seemed to be watching a suspense movie by the way Asia's eyes were glued to the screen while hugging Koneko tight. Koneko gave Issei a smile, offered him a pack of unopened popcorn, and a small wave as he entered the living room. Issei ruffled her hair and cat ears, smiling at the purring sound she let out.
Asia didn't tear her eyes away from the screen even with his appearance.
Issei left the two to their own devices and continued the hunt for his wives. He checked the kitchen, the garden, the garage and even the storage room. He looked through the pool and also the sex dungeon. Nothing. There was one place he hadn't checked yet: the bedrooms.
…
He found the two in his(their) bedroom. Rias was straddling Irina in a 69 position, with only a scant few pieces of clothing left on her. Irina's already crimson face somehow turned a new shade of red when Issei opened the door.
"I'll be right back, don't move." he said and closed the door.
He came back a few seconds later, his tentacles carrying a chair and a plastic bag of popcorn from Koneko.
"Alright, carry on," he said, sat down, opened the packet of popcorn, took a handful, and ate it, all while calmly staring at his wives. Issei would have done it more dramatically if it was a pack of potato chips, but beggars can't be choosers. Speaking of beggars…
"Ise! Save me!" Irina thrashed against the chains that held her arms and legs in place. Her cries of help were muffled when Rias sat on her face with her dummy thicc ass.
"Care to join us?" Rias asked.
"I'm good for now," Issei said.
"I see," Rias said, happily ignoring Irina's screams.
Before she could continue her… "torture" of Irina. Issei said: "Ah, the representatives have arrived at Kuoh."
"Wait, what?" Rias shouted as she got up panickedly. Irina breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" She scrambled around the room but Issei picked her up with one of his many tentacles and clothed her himself, like a dress-up doll. In a few seconds, Rias was suited in a conservative blue apron dress over a long-sleeved blouse. Her makeup was being put on by smaller tentacles and her shoes were fetched from the front.
"I didn't want to interrupt your fun time," Issei grinned.
Rias pouted.
"Don't worry, I left a clone to entertain them," Issei said as he used his own two hands to slip on Rias' shoes. "Shall we go then?"
"Let's go," Rias nodded and the two left.
Xenovia Quarta was… ..for lack of a better word, worried. In front of her stood a Japanese boy with relations to Devils. He was married to a Devil! Yet, she was forbidden by the Vatican to cut him down. If you put his brown hair aside, he would have looked like the mundane Japanese person.
That's not all either.
On all sides of her were representatives from different religious factions. While she had her older sister, Griselda Quarta, she couldn't help but feel— no not fearful. Anxious. Yes. Anxious. For how could she be fearful in the sight of a beast?
Deep breaths. Deep breaths.
Xenovia looked around her again, gauging the people around her.
To her immediate left and immediate right were her companions, blissfully chatting with the people from the other factions. Griselda Quarta, her older sister, was dressed as a nun like always. Her rosary of silver clinked whenever she gestured with her hand.
Opposite them was the representative of the Protestant Church. Touji Shidou, the father of Irina Hyoudou who was the famed reincarnated Angel these past few months. He was a devout Anglican with chestnut hair and an ever present sly grin. The Protestant Church didn't bother sending two, as was the tradition of churches, since his daughter was in the area.
Apart from the two Church factions were the Fallen. Azazel himself was speaking to the Japanese boy. He brought along with him five of his comrades. Five women in differing clothes. Xenovia didn't bother memorizing their faces, although three of them looked alike. Sisters?
The mediators of this meeting was a representative from Hades, a Valkyrie from Odin and the Japanese boy himself. The representative from Hades was a small girl named Bennia Orcus. She was dressed in a one-piece dress that showed all of her legs and a dark cloak that was common for Grim Reapers. The Valkyrie wore clothes that you'd expect from the average office woman and not a fighter that guided the souls of dead warriors. Her hair was long and silver, pulled back from her face by two pink ribbons on the sides of her head.
The mages have also sent an enjoy but they have not yet arrived. Islam and the rest of the factions didn't bother sending their own team, deeming this event something that they didn't care about. There were rumors about the River Nile sending their own but no confirmation yet.
The Japanese boy was the weirdest of the bunch. Xenovia feared no man, but him. He scared her. Her primal instincts told her to run. Flee as fast as she could. That didn't seem rational at all when the guy looked so vulnerable.
…or vulnerable at first.
Xenovia didn't understand a while ago why this guy was so important that the papacy gave them direct orders not to cross the man. It was not to protect him but to protect them.
Issei Hyoudou was the boy's name, Xenovia recalled. He was the product of a Satanic organization that dealt with chimeras. The scientists kidnapped children from all around the globe and experimented on them. They put all of the genes they could get their hands on into the children: dog, cat, frog, shark, whale, centaur, devil, slime, and so on. Out of the thousands children that were kidnapped and experimented on, only Issei Hyoudou came out alive. The rest died, may their souls rest with the Lord.
Xenovia snapped awake from her daydream to find herself alone in the living room of an unknown house.
"This must be Issei Hyoudou's house," Xenovia said to herself. "Curses. I shouldn't have daydreamed."
She heard voices.
"They must be going around the house. Oh well," Xenovia continued talking to herself as she set her luggage down. "I guess I'll explore by myself."
Xenovia looked around the first floor of the house. She found the kitchen, pantry, and storeroom. The living room was lined up with shelves. Some of these shelves were filled with books while others were filled with figurines of barely dressed anime characters. A clear, sliding glass door separated the house from the garden. In the garden was a pool, an orchard of trees, and what seemed to be a baby Cerberus… ..that was somehow a Labrador retriever.
Maybe the original Cerberus was a Labrador retriever?
Xenovia took the staircase up to the second floor which had a balcony that overlooked the living room of the first one. A lounge was on the balcony and past the lounge were three doors.
Seeing no harm in checking them out, Xenovia opened the leftmost one. The room inside of it was large but rather plain. Pictures hung on the wall and there were many cat plushies on the bed. The room was very girly but still plain, not that Xenovia could talk when her own room was pretty barren too. Xenovia exited and closed the door.
The next room was a hallway with two doors on the same side of the wall. Xenovia entered the first one and immediately backed out. That was definitely the Devil's room. The air in it was just dark.
Xenovia entered the latter room and found herself in a serene setting. The room had a window facing east and a rosary hung by it. It was rather small but Xenovia wouldn't mind living in this room. Despite being small, it didn't feel cramped at all. There was plenty of elbow room. An adequately sized bed sat in the corner with a bedside table right beside it. A Bible was daintily set on the table and a notebook was right beside it.
Xenovia left the room in peace and closed the door, making her way to the last one. The last one looked like the house's master's bedroom. A large double king-sized bed with an Irina chained to its posts, a large closet, a glass bathroom, five computers in a line, and a large television.
Xenovia blinked and looked at the bed again. Irina, still tied up like a persecuted Christian and her clothes disheveled, tried waving her chained hands before giving up and smiling wryly. "We meet again, Xenovia."
"MIA CARA SORELLA IN CHRISTO!" Xenovia's scream could be heard throughout the house.
