Here I am with another translated chapter!

I am still looking for a beta reader to help me correct the translation errors that are still present. Please, if you are interested in helping me, send me a private message.

Now it's time for the reviews:

Wolfman9623: It's great to see that the large number of grammatical errors have now been almost completely corrected. It's good to see someone who keeps giving me indications on how to improve the translation. I hope you continue to enjoy each chapter!

Rain: Even in the 73 chapters I've been writing, there's still no lemon, but there's already one that's only a few chapters away. Personally I take this content as something completely secondary, even if I plan to do quite a few mature scenes compared to my other stories. I plan to do about 7 or 8, it will be seen exactly when the time comes.

HatsuneRingumi: I'm happy to read that you liked the chapter. Partly I always planned to develop Azazel as the father figure Issei never had, so I'm very pleased to see that's working out as I hoped.

Bigwoof: I'm very glad to see that you're enjoying this story!

The Beast of Sanity: Overall, I'm glad to see that you liked all the chapters. There's still a lot going to happen between Issei and Penemue, so I hope you can enjoy it as much as you are now.

There were some reviews that I didn't answer because they are in the first chapters and they are doubts or issues that I already answered. There are others that I didn't answer because I couldn't understand the term or what they were trying to get at. Remember that my speech is not English, so it would be easier for me to understand simpler terms.

Leaving that aside, it is time to begin.

Enjoy!

"This has really given me a disconnect..." Issei commented, as he rode his motorcycle back to Kuoh, carrying Penemue on his back. "I think it's been a great day, and I really feel excellent to continue my training." Issei added, sketching a small smile. "Although, I still keep thinking that I would have liked to stay longer... together. It's been quite nice being on the beach with you." He concluded, slightly surprised when he felt Penemue wrap her arms around his waist and pull his body together with hers.

"Do you want to know how I felt? Or rather, how I feel?" Cadre asked, receiving a quick nod from Issei.

"I feel a very strong heartbeat under my skin. And it's my heart, it's beating so hard, because you make me feel..." Penemue would position her chin on her future lover's shoulder.

"...Like I'm alive again."

Issei couldn't help but blush slightly at her words, though that blush quickly dissipated when he looked at the Fallen's face.

With her eyes closed, and that beautiful smile on her face as her long silky hair swayed before the wind...

She seemed to be so happy and relaxed, something Issei never saw in Penemue...

Perhaps, he was really making her feel alive again...

And he could not be more than happy for the happiness of a woman he admires and likes so much...

Yes, he wished more and more that this unique day could have been extended for several more days...

And he was not the only one who thought the same...

CHAPTER 29: THE OTHER BISHOP!

Issei and Penemue entered the old Academy building, to see how Tiamat seemed to be flipping through Issei's photo album energetically, sitting on top of the main desk.

"Hello." Issei greeted quickly, at the same time as Penemue raised her hand with little energy, doing her typical salute.

Tiamat lowered the album from her face, causing both Penemue and Issei to be shocked by the great vigor and cute smile the dragoness gave off.

"Welcome back!" The dragoness exclaimed with much happiness.

"What did you do this last day?" Penemue asked, unable to help but raise an eyebrow. "You look... revitalized."

"About what we talked about the other day..." Tiamat ignored Penemue's question outright, causing the Fall to raise her eyebrow even more. "He is in the last room of the institution. He has various seals, but I've already taken care of destroying them. Only the locks are missing." Explained the dragoness, causing Issei to look at her with great surprise.

"Wait... Are you telling me that they're locking a person in the hallway that I was forbidden to transit?" Issei asked, astonished at the information.

"It's not a person, it's a Demon." Tiamat made her disgust towards the species quite clear. "But, it's kind of strange..." The dragoness commented, lowering her gaze slightly.

"What strangeness are we talking about, exactly?" Penemue asked, crossing her arms.

"Well... For starters, his demonic aura isn't the same as the others..." Tiamat raised her gaze, looking very seriously at the two of them. "In fact, it's not only very different, it's almost non-existent. Like it's... broken, so to speak."

"That explains why you couldn't feel his presence all this time..." Penemue explained, rubbing her chin.

"Does that mean what's potentially dangerous?" Issei wondered with a hand on his chin. "That would explain the reason for his confinement..."

"I don't think so..." Tiamat commented, staring at him. "It's precisely because his aura is different that I didn't sense any prominent hostility or malice from him." A look with a hint of compression appeared on the dragoness' face. "In fact, I felt that he was afraid... Afraid of himself."

Issei rubbed his temple at the information gathered, wondering what the motive was for withholding such valuable information from her. Maybe he was getting himself into big trouble, and would really take the punishment if something bad happened, but he knew very well that Tiamat couldn't be getting confused.

For that reason, if things turned out as he thought they would, Rias would have to give him an explanation, and a very good one, in fact.

Issei finally put his annoyance aside, rushing towards the mysterious room.

"I'll be right back!" he shouted, leaving both women alone.

Tiamat lifted the album again and continued to look through the few pictures in there, something Penemue quickly joined her in.

"I guess we're thinking the same thing..." Penemue commented, smiling a rather loving smile on her face as she ran a finger over the photo of her beloved as a small kid.

"Issei when he was a kid..."

"Yes, yes!" Tiamat nodded several times with great joy. "Issei's children will be much like them!" The dragoness exclaimed with great happiness.

She hugged Penemue with utmost intensity.

"Imagine if we had..."

Tiamat's words stopped as different thoughts of both women synchronized, caring for their young children and hugging with Issei.

Somehow, that made both of them a little disappointed...

Tiamat broke away from Penemue, lowering her gaze with some pain.

"I'm sorry..."

"It's okay." Cadre replied, giving her a small smile. "I think everyone needs dreams to be happier, even if they can't be fulfilled."

A small smile appeared on Tiamat's face after what she heard, then she looked at one of the pictures. She turned the page, seeing the photo where she and Penemue appeared together with the love of her life, celebrating his birthday.

Oblivious to all the chatter between the two women in love, Issei arrived at the room in chains, preparing to smash the locks. He couldn't help but be surprised when said chains were much sturdier than they appeared.

"*These are magic chains. It's a type of seal, one of the simplest and weakest*" Ddraig commented through the gauntlet. "*Although they are the weakest, you need a great deal of power to break them. Luckily, your training has made the power and mastery over your Balance Breaker near perfect. It's time to put the training to the test*" He finished, with some emotion in his final words.

Issei activated his Balance Breaker, and the augmentations began to silently glow on the gem of his gauntlet at an impressive speed, causing Issei himself to blink in utter surprise at the increase in power so quickly.

The gem finished flickering within seconds, indicating that the dominance over his Sacred Gear had also increased noticeably, making the boosts much faster.

"Amazing..." Issei thought, clenching his fist. "I feel like I'm twice as strong as I was last month, even a little more..."

"*It's not just that,*" Ddraig commented quickly, causing Issei to look down at his gauntlet. "*In your training, you doubled the amount of your magic reserves. Now, with a much higher boost limit, and control over your Balance Breaker, I estimate that the Balance Breaker's time in battle increased from 8 minutes to over 20 hours, as long as you don't waste your magic, of course.*"

"That means that now I could take advantage of the extended battles, and it wouldn't be a negative point for me anymore..." Issei commented, feeling happy at what he heard.

"*I see you caught on fast.*" Ddraig commented with a proud tone, then turned serious. "*Now, concentrate on opening that door... And get ready, just in case...*" Issei just nodded at his tenant's warning and took it quickly. His firm and tense posture was proof of that.

Issei took the chain, and stared at the doors for a few seconds, until he finally ripped them off from one second to the next, causing a giant blizzard to be created in the hallway that rattled the glass.

Issei slowly opened the door, without even making the slightest noise. What he first distinguished was that everything was pitch black, but thanks to his demonic vision he could witness the room.

"Is it a bedroom?" was the only deduction he drew from looking at the decorations.

The place looked somewhat gothic, which made him have a small shiver, which only intensified further when he heard a voice come from nowhere.

"Uh, looks like it's really windy today..."

Issei turned his head in several directions frantically, trying to find the source of the voice.

"Well, it's not something I really care about." The voice sounded somewhat scary and a bit echoey, and that itself made Issei alert. "This guy is a lot tougher than I thought..."

This time, Issei could make out the direction of the voice, so it didn't take him long to fix his gaze on a small box.

"Is it in there?" he wondered internally, only to hear different buttons. "Is he playing on a console?" he wondered again, thinking that such a mysterious and sinister voice doesn't suit him at all to play that kind of games.

Still, Issei didn't get confident, so he slowly approached the box, to then bring his hand just as slowly. Sweat began to bead on his face as he listened to different murmurs and as the buttons were pressed.

Finally, Issei removed the box in one motion, to then instantly get into a combat stance, waiting for any kind of aggressive reaction. After a second, Issei could only make a pouty face at the sight of a blond boy slightly smaller than him wearing women's clothing.

The boy's eyes quickly filled with tears, then he let out a loud scream and threw the console at his face, causing Issei to fall to the ground after such a blow.

"Stay away, stay away!" he shouted, standing at the farthest point from him, still being inside the strange bedroom.

"Hey, calm down!" Issei replied with slight anger, while rubbing his red face. "I'm not going to hurt you!"

"That's not the problem!" Hearing that, Issei couldn't help but take a step back. "I don't want to hurt you!"

"Hurt me?" Issei wondered internally.

"*If it's a Reincarnated Demon, it must have a Sacred Gear. Probably, he can't control it. We'd better advance with caution*" The dragon commented cautiously. "*Also, I can sense that he's a half-vampire.*" Ddraig added, causing Issei to widen his eyes in great disbelief. "*I understood that they had disappeared a thousand years ago, after the Great Holy War. It was one of the many species that was wiped out by Trihexa... Or so I thought...*" The dragon concluded, causing Issei to become slightly serious.

"I guess that's not important now. The problem is his Sacred Gear, since I don't know what it can do." Issei replied, causing the boy to cover his eyes with his hands at the mention of his Sacred Gear.

"Please go away..." The boy commented, denoting that his somber voice was only due because he was inside a box. "I don't want to hurt you. I can't control myself..."

"What happened?!" Penemue came running up.

"That's it!" Issei bumped his palm with his fist. "You could help us!"

Hearing this, Penemue couldn't help but tilt her head slightly and blinked in confusion, then looked at the boy, who covered his face again after catching the Cadre's gaze.

"I see..." Penemue commented, then approached the child.

"Wait, don't come!" The blond frantically waved his hands.

Penemue cared little for his warnings, approaching him and grabbing his arm, causing her to grit her teeth slightly as she felt everything slow down, as well as feeling heavier. Still, the power that emanated from the boy was very weak for the Cadre's level, so she crouched down smoothly and looked him face to face, causing the blond to be shocked to see that Penemue barely seemed to be affected.

"What is this?" Issei wondered, trying to enter the small gray-colored capsule that had formed in the room.

"Don't go in!" Penemue exclaimed quickly, causing Issei to jump backwards. "It's some kind of control in time or space... Or both. It doesn't affect you only if you're strong enough to withstand it." She concluded, then looked at the boy. "What's your name?" Penemue's serious, somber look made the blond begin to shiver.

"Ga-Gasper!" he shouted. "Gasper Vladi!"

"The Vladi's? I thought they were dead." Penemue wondered aloud, then gave him a death glare. "Are you lying to me?" Gasper could feel his entire spine shiver deeply behind the Cadre's gaze and aura.

"N-N-no-no-no!" The half-vampire could barely vocalize. "I swear!"

Penemue brought her face close to Gasper's, narrowing her eyes with great suspicion. The boy began to tremble at the intense stare. Finally, Penemue's gaze softened noticeably and she released him.

"You're too much of a scaredy-cat." She concluded, causing Gasper to lower his head as comical tears threatened to peel from his eyes. "Surely that's the reason you can't control your power." Hearing this, Gasper couldn't help but look at her in surprise. "If you can't even control your own emotions, how do you plan to control such a conflicting power?" She asked, causing the half vampire to lower his head and clench his fists slightly.

Penemue turned around and started to walk away.

"I don't plan on wasting my time with a scaredy-cat." This only made Gasper clench his fists tighter.

As the Cadre passed by Issei's side, she whispered to him in one swift motion.

"If he learns how to control his emotions, he will learn how to control his power. I threatened and ridiculed him to see how his power fluctuated, and he is extremely unstable, not only because of his emotions, but because of the absurd amount of magic he possesses. No wonder the Demons gave up so quickly." Cadre fixed her gaze for a short second on Issei. "But you won't give up, will you?" She concluded.

"Where are you going?" Issei asked, watching as the Cadre raised her hand in a gesture of greeting.

"Tiamat left a little while ago because she had forgotten something at your house, and she seemed to be quite nervous, though she was trying to hide it." She commented, then put both her hands in her pockets and stopped at the end of the hallway, to give him one last look. "I'll go see if she needs any help, and then I'll do my job. You know well how the castle is managed." She concluded, then left.

Finally, Issei and Gasper looked at each other, causing the latter to cover his face with the console.

"I guess this is going to be a long day..." Issei thought with great boredom.

Several minutes later...

Issei found that it wasn't too difficult to strike up a conversation with Gasper, as long as he kept his distance. In fact, the boy seemed quite receptive and welcomed all the small talk propitiated by him, something that even surprised him.

"Hem, sir..." Gasper tried to speak.

"Issei, Issei Hyoudou." He introduced himself, causing a small smile to appear on the half-vampire's face.

"Hyoudou, may I know why you want to help me?" He asked lowering his head slightly.

"Well, haven't you been lonely all this time?" Issei asked, receiving a quick negative from Gasper.

"I don't!" He replied. "I know that if I stay here, I won't cause trouble for the others..." He replied, lowering his head again. "I don't want to hurt people, and the President said that the only thing I could do, was to stay here, as something had gone wrong with my Reincarnation and they had no idea how to help me. Afterwards, I could hear through the door that something had gone wrong, as I hadn't changed in the slightest, and that I was still a coward."

Issei couldn't help but frown at this.

"She told him that?" he thought, but quickly put the issue on the back burner. "It doesn't matter what they said. Living cooped up, isn't living. I've been alone for a long time too, and for that reason I don't recommend it in the least."

"But, it would be very selfish to want to be with others while hurting them..." He commented, lowering his head again, something that was beginning to annoy Issei.

"Can you at least tell me that you tried to control the overflows of your magic, or do you even know what magic is?" he asked, then rolling his eyes at Gasper's extremely cowardly reaction.

"No!" he shouted. "Magic scares me!"

"Magic scares you?" Issei asked, receiving a quick nod from Gasper. "Then let me show you something cool." He concluded, causing Gasper to look at him with rapt attention as he stood up.

Issei raised his hand, creating an orb of violet energy. This made Gasper look at him with great intrigue.

"Can you use magic without conjuring it?" The half-vampire asked, impressed at the sight.

"I don't know if you noticed, but every time you used your power, you weren't even using a magic circle. Let's say this is something similar, although I'm not providing the magic to my Sacred Gear, like you are." Issei explained, unable to help but look at him with a bit of envy. "Honestly, I'm very envious of you. I had to learn all the principles of magic before I could use it, because my magic reserves back then were meager. Although now they're no big deal either..." He finished, rubbing his hair nervously at his last words.

Gasper stood up and looked closely at the orb, seeing that it appeared to be completely harmless.

"Do you want to touch it?" Issei asked, causing Gasper to look at him with great concern.

"But if I get close..."

"Don't worry." He replied quickly. "I'm the one proposing to approach you. So, if anything happens to me, it will be my fault and mine alone."

"Hum, if you put it that way..." The blond commented, slowly approaching Issei.

His gaze seemed so focused on the orb that he didn't think much of Issei and didn't get nervous. His curiosity was probably peaked at the moment.

"Apparently, they didn't even take the time to train it. This is obvious, because he should at least know how magic works." Issei thought, seeing that Gasper looked rather hesitant. "Touch it, I promise it won't hurt you." Issei commented with a smile, causing Gasper to look at him uneasily.

"Trust me."

Hearing his last words, Gasper swallowed hard and slowly brought his trembling hand to the orb, then lightly touched its surface. He widened his eyes in complete shock when he felt no pain whatsoever, in fact, the texture felt as if it were that of a Slime.

Gasper thrust his entire hand into the orb, causing a huge smile to appear on his face as his eyes sparkled with great excitement.

"Wow!" He exclaimed in complete excitement. "How is this possible?!"

"As I said before, you lack learning the principles of magic." Issei commented. "As long as you want to use magic without wanting to harm anyone, it will simply be so. Though it is strange to do so, since you generally use magic for hostile purposes... Or as you do in your case, for defensive purposes." Seeing that Gasper seemed very interested in the subject, Issei decided to continue. "There are also different types of magics, or rather, functions for magic. Those different functions can be provided through a Sacred Gear, by Healing Factors, by having a lineage with extraordinary powers, among others. You are like me, because, as far as I know, we both have Sacred Gears, and we both have a Healing Factor. Though the latter is possessed by all beings who know how to use magic, being pretty useless if you don't have a lineage or Sacred Gear that boosts that ability." A small, somewhat nostalgic smile appeared on Issei's face after remembering his beginnings in the supernatural world.

"The one who taught me all that, was my first Mistress."

"Your first Mistress?" Gasper asked, still waving his hand inside the orb. "Does that mean you had more than one?"

"I had two in total." Issei replied. "The first is a dragon named Tiamat, and the second is the Cadre you met a few moments ago, Penemue. I also met another dragon named Tannin, though he wasn't a master... rather, he was Penemue's assistant, as he followed all of her orders." He concluded, then looked at the blond with a chuckle.

"What do you say, you want me to teach you how to use your magic?"

Another large gleam appeared in Gasper's eyes.

"I could really do that?!" He asked with complete excitement.

"Of course!" Issei exclaimed with complete confidence. "This, and much more!" Issei crouched down in front of him, removing the orb. "I'm sure you'll learn it much faster than me. After all, you can already use magic."

Gasper clenched his fists tightly.

"That sounds great!"

"Did you notice something?" Issei asked, causing Gasper to look at him curiously. "I'm close to you, and you haven't done anything to me." Hearing this, the half vampire couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock. "That means if you can control it. You just have to get that feeling of insecurity out of your system, and start believing in yourself more." Issei put on a serious face, causing Gasper to look at him sharply. "To me, everyone calls me 'the weakest Sekeryutei', something that can sap one's faith in oneself without a problem. But, despite that, I will never stop believing in myself, and I will never stop believing in the two women who also believed in me. The Leader of the Fallen also believes in me, in my future. That is why even in these circumstances is that I have such a strong spirit, because I believe in myself, and also because there are many people who supported me and are always by my side. That, that alone, makes me feel like the strongest entity in the world, even though I'm pretty far from it." Issei positioned a hand on Gasper's shoulder, unable to help but hand him a smile when he saw that strange gray aura was not generated around him. "For that reason, it's never good to be alone. If you're not like me, and you don't think you can be strong, that's fine, I totally understand. But then, lean on the people you love the most, and become strong, thanks to them, and above all, because of them."

"Hyoudou... I... I don't know what to say..." The blond commented, completely awed by his words.

Issei sketched a small smile, positioning a hand on Gasper's head.

"You can call me Issei."

Several minutes later...

Issei looked out the window, seeing that it was already getting dark. Still, he was quite entertained by Gasper's chatter, as the half-vampire attempted to materialize an orb of magic.

"I did it, I did it!" Gasper exclaimed with great joy, causing Issei to look up at him with a smile.

"That's great..." Issei's eyes widened in great disbelief as he saw how the magical orb was twice the size of Gasper. "Incredible..." This last word he kept to himself, completely in awe of what the blond could become capable of.

Gasper stuck both of his arms inside the large orb, being able to make out that the material was much thicker and more sensitive than Issei's, something that pleased him quite a bit.

"You see?" said Issei, approaching Gasper. "I told you you could do it." Gasper just nodded with a big smile. "It's a little late now, but wouldn't you like to get out of this room tomorrow?" he asked, being able to see how Gasper looked completely reluctant at the idea. "I don't mean going out in Kuoh." He quickly added. "I mean a place where there are no people. It's a forest in Hell that is known to the Familiars who live there. In itself, it is called 'the Familiar Realm'. That's where I met Tiamat, you might as well know her as my Familiar." Issei moved quickly to his ear. "Though the latter part, it remains only between us. As she is a dragon, she does not like to be subdued under any circumstances." He whispered with slight grace.

He knew that if Tiamat was listening to him now, he would have taken a hard blow to the head.

"An angry dragoness..." Gasper thought aloud in fear, as he imagined a huge dragon spitting fire out of its mouth.

That was a common thing, being that he didn't even know what Tiamat looked like, let alone that the more evolved dragons should and could turn into humans to mating.

"So, what do you say?" Issei asked, causing Gasper to look at him a bit doubtfully.

"Are you sure there won't be people?" the blond asked.

"The place where we'll be staying is strictly forbidden to transit it, because of..." Issei couldn't help but roll his eyes as he remembered how he met Tiamat. "Well... That's a story that's in the past. Still, no one dares to get too close there, except for a few family members."

"Sounds a bit scary, but exciting at the same time." Gasper commented, clenching his fists tightly, while undoing the magic robe. "Count me in!"

In one of the Kuoh Academy's teacher residences...

Issei entered the small apartment, completely amazed at the foreign details, denoting that Penemue also liked the French and Anglo-Saxon style. Somewhat similar to Azazel, though he was noted for a slightly more modern design, and only took notice of England today.

"After seeing your room, I didn't think you had this kind of taste..." Issei clarified, completely immersed in the decor.

"Well, I couldn't bring all my swords here, so..." Was the Cadre's simple comment, sitting down on the bed.

Issei couldn't help but notice that the apartment was so small that the kitchen and the bed were in the same room, and the only thing that had a separate room seemed to be the bathroom.

Cadre patted her side a couple of times, indicating for him to sit next to her.

"I want to train Gasper in the Family Realm." He commented, sitting down next to her.

"In the Family Realm?" the Cadre asked. "Are you sure? It's a very hostile place, and I'm sure he'll be very uncomfortable."

"That's exactly why I'm taking him there." Issei clarified, causing a small smile to appear on the Fallen's face.

"You've gotten very smart, Issei." Penemue complimented him, giving him a small kiss on his cheek, causing Issei to blush slightly.

"I wonder whose fault that is?" he asked, while looking at her with a small smile.

Penemue only managed to cover her mouth to keep her little giggle from being more audible, something that made her look even cuter.

"Well, I guess I'll be going." Issei said, getting up, only to be stopped by Penemue as she tugged lightly on his sleeve.

"Don't forget about your studies." More than a reminder, it sounded like a command, and her look only affirmed this fact.

Issei couldn't help but get slightly nervous at her gaze.

"Don't worry. We'll go with Gasper after the academy." Hearing this, Penemue nodded with satisfaction and let him go.

At the Hyoudou's house...

"I'm home." Issei commented, seeing that his parents didn't seem to have given him a degree of importance as they continued to read the newspaper.

Issei saw that they hadn't even left him dinner, so he let out a big sigh.

He was destined to go upstairs to his room, but stopped in the middle of the stairs.

"Tomorrow is the day where the parents go to the academy." Issei commented, without even looking at them. "Could they at least take some time for me tomorrow?" he asked.

Seconds passed, and he got no answer, causing him to lower his head a little.

"I figured..." He whispered under his breath, going to his room.

When he entered his room, the first thing he saw was Tiamat sitting on his bed.

"How was it?" the dragoness asked, moving a little to the side to make room for Issei.

"It wasn't bad." Issei replied, sitting down next to her. "I think he has a big confidence problem, but he's a good kid. Apparently, Demonic Corruption doesn't affect him, which is strange..."

"I told you he seemed to be broken..." The dragoness replied. "Most likely something went wrong when he was reincarnated."

"Gasper had said something about that, but he didn't give many details. I don't think he must know the specific reason either." Issei replied, remembering the talk with the blond.

"Gasper?" Tiamat asked, cocking her head curiously.

"That's his name." Issei replied.

"I see..." The dragoness replied, then quirked a small smile as she heard Issei's stomach make a strange sound.

"I'm sorry, I just didn't eat anything." He replied , completely embarrassed.

"No worries." The dragoness replied, clasping her hands together as a small magic circle appeared. "I prepared something for you." She concluded, causing Issei to widen his eyes like crazy as he watched as a plate of hot food came out of the magic circle and fell into Tiamat's hands, who handed it to him carefully.

"Tiamat, you're the best!" Issei exclaimed as comical tears streamed down his face.

She just gave him a cute smile after his words, where the tips of her beautiful fangs could be seen.

"This is delicious!" he shouted, as he ate like crazy. "Damn, I think you became a much better cook than me!" He raised his gaze for a short second, looking at her with great admiration. "You're just wonderful!" He concluded, causing a small blush to appear on Tiamat's face.

Issei continued to eat like crazy, but stopped drastically when the dragoness lifted his face with her hands and gave him a kiss on the forehead.

"Eat more quietly, or you'll choke." She commented with a small smile, while that slight blush still covered her face, giving him a beautiful look.

Issei could do nothing but blush, as he slowly nodded.

At that moment, she realized that there was something strange in the atmosphere.

He quickly swallowed the food and began sniffing as if he were a dog.

"Wait a minute... What's that smell?"

"Damn!" Tiamat thought, clearly nervous.

"It's a strange smell..." Issei commented.

"It's a new perfume!" she quickly replied, causing Issei to look at her with a raised eyebrow. "I adorned it in your room. I hope you like it..." It was clearly a perfect excuse.

"Hm, it's very nice." Issei replied with a smile. "It's a very nice smell." He continued, causing Tiamat to put her hands to her cheeks to cover the huge blush that had formed. "What's the perfume? I'd like to buy it." He finished, handing her a big smile.

"Shibushibushibu..." Tiamat muttered in a very low tone, as she looked away.

"What?" Issei asked, rubbing his hair.

Tiamat looked at him again, still covering her cheeks.

"It's a secret."

The next day...

Silent laughter could be heard in the early hours of the morning in the Hyoudou residence. Said sounds were coming from one room in particular...

"Wait, don't touch me there!" The dragoness' voice was easily made out through the door. "I'm so ticklish!" She added, as the noise of the bed squeaking could be heard very easily.

Finally, the image of Issei falling on Tiamat could be visualized.

"I win." Commented the man with a victorious smile on his face, as he watched Tiamat gasp beneath him because of her erratic breathing.

It was in these moments that Ddraig wondered how his partner could not have any obscene thoughts, being that he has the most beautiful dragoness in her underwear, panting with a small blush on her face as she was completely at his mercy.

"I surrender!" The dragoness exclaimed between gasps, only to see Issei move to the side, releasing her.

"Will you introduce me to your new friend?" the dragoness asked, taking not even a second to settle her head on his chest.

"No." Was Issei's reply, beginning to stroke the woman's hair. "I have a plan, and I need your help." He finished, causing the dragoness to raise her face a little, looking at him curiously.

"What is it about?"

END OF CHAPTER!

I hope you liked this appearance of Gasper.

In the next one, I will focus on the parents' day at the Academy, on a little chat with Rias, on Gasper's "training", and, finally, on Rias' first hints. If there is enough time to write more, it would be the moment to at least drop some hints that the meeting between the factions to sign the peace is already quite close. The Gasper issue I don't think it will extend more than two chapters. Basically, in the first one I will focus on his adaptation, and the second one, on setting his goal and demonstrating his full potential. After that, the meeting is coming.

See you soon in the next translated chapter!
