Issei, the true Dragon of the Apocalypse (translated into English)

by Jyanzein

[Issei x Tiamat/Penemue/Ross/Ophis] How much would a world change where the supernatural existed, and Angels behaved like Angels, Fallen Angels behaved like Fallen Angels, and Demons... behaved like Demons ? Issei has barely entered the world of the Factions, so he can't answer that question. But he will quickly find the answer. WARNING: sexual scenes and explicit violence.

39. Ch 38: The next Queen of the Valkyries!

Here I am with a new translated chapter!

I think this is the first month where I am so active with this project. That's good, since we are slowly approaching the key moments of the story. I will try to continue with this rhythm at least until chapter 60.

Before I start, I'd like to answer some reviews:

The Beast Of Sanity: I guess Rossweisse is not a very common pairing because the character itself doesn't have much lore, and maybe that makes the attention not fall so much on her. Therefore, I can only hope that you like the development she will have throughout the story. Before concluding, I would like to thank you, since you are the only person who keeps doing reviews constantly and who reads me since the beginning.

MAX0910: These are good remarks, as I have rarely been told about them. Seeing that there are still errors of this kind, I will focus as much as I can on noticing them. Finally, it is a very interesting narrative improvement that you presented at the end, so I will try to have it in the following chapters. Although you should always keep in mind that these chapters are already written and the only thing I do is to translate it and fix the spelling mistakes or narrative errors that I didn't see at the time.

Cobin Michael: Well, it can be said that God keeps a lot of secrets, even after his death.

With nothing more to add, it's time to begin.

Enjoy!

"Back in this place again..." Issei thought aloud, looking at the huge reception that belonged to Odin.

"Speaking of which, you never got a chance to take a look at the city, did you?" Rossweisse asked, receiving a negative from the visitor.

"What's that sound?" Tiamat asked, hearing a strange sound coming from outside.

"Allow me to welcome you to Asgard." The Valkyrie declared with a smile, using a bit of her magic to make the giant mechanized window slowly open.

The sounds quickly intensified, and one could make out that it was a large number of perfectly timed screams.

The four of them stepped out onto the huge balcony, causing a great glow to cover their visions for a short second. Once they were able to open their eyes again, Issei and his two companions couldn't help but be surprised at the sight.

In the distance, huge mountains could be seen completely surrounding the site, while a huge city with rather exotic architectures rose up as huge buildings and small shops. From the height that they were allowed to witness how the city looked like a huge circle that looked towards the same point. All those structures faced the center of the huge water flow that occupied a large amount of meters in the center of the city, only being a bit obscured by the huge bridge in the middle, attached to the place where they were. Speaking of that, Issei raised his gaze to study the large building more intently, only to blink in utter amazement.

"Fantastic!" The brown exclaimed, seeing that the supposed building was actually a huge castle, and like the rest of the city, the architecture was very peculiar.

After all, it was completely golden, and it looked like a sort of pyramid built through thin rectangles, where each one seemed to possess a room. Although the place where they were, was the largest rectangle and the exclusive one that stood out noticeably from the others, besides being the only one that possessed a balcony to go outside.

Issei quickly lowered his gaze again, seeing how all the Valkyries made repetitions in unison, indicating that this was where the battle shouts were coming from. It was a natural thing to hear, as there were thousands of them on the bridge, forming rows that reached all the way to the end of the platform.

Rossweisse leaned over the railing and rested her hands, watching the training of her companions.

Instantly, all the Valkyries abandoned their training, taking a firm step and placing one of their hands on their chest, generating a loud clatter as their hands clashed against their armor.

"Long live the Realm!"

"Long live Odin!"

"Long live Göndul!"

"Long live Rossweisse!"

The statements of all the Valkyries made Issei overly surprised, especially at the last thing he had heard.

The Valkyrie simply saluted with a beautiful smile on her face, causing all the Valkyries to bow their heads in respect, and then continue with their training. All that, with scary timing.

"Very well..." Rossweisse commented to herself, then turned away. "I think it's time to begin." She declared with a cute smile, not paying much attention to the fact that Issei had a clearly agitated expression on his face.

CHAPTER 38: THE NEXT QUEEN OF THE VALKYRIES!

Rossweisse walked out the front door accompanied by her visitors, watching as the large group of Valkyries continued to train. The Valkyrie quickly turned to the woman in front of the army. From what it seemed to be, she was the one who indicated the repetitions to follow, as if they were a great orchestra perfectly synchronized.

Issei just watched from the top of the stairs as all the women did their training without even flinching, something that really impressed him. After all, it was the first time he had ever seen anything like that.

Seeing Ross approaching, the woman with long wavy brown hair stopped. She was a rather beautiful Valkyrie. As seemed to be customary among these Asgardian women, she had a nice figure and her face was quite pretty. The only thing that reduced her beauty a bit, was the fact that a large scar ran across her non-existent eye, which went all the way down to her neck.

"Continue replays until further notice!" The woman exclaimed, receiving a quick "Understood!" from all the Valkyries, who didn't take a second to resume marching.

"I see you brought some interesting people, Ross..." Commented the Valkyrie, giving the three guests a small smile. "Would you mind introducing them?"

"This is Issei, Tiamat, and Penemue. They are here to receive special training by Odin's orders." The Valkyrie commented, causing the woman to fix her gaze on Tiamat with great surprise. "Guys, this is Göndul. The current Queen of the Valkyries, and my grandmother." She concluded, with a cute smile at her last words.

"I never thought I'd see the strongest Dragon Queen in Asgard. Let alone imagine that I would want to receive a Disir Training..." Commented the now recognized as Göndul, causing Tiamat to position a hand on Issei's head.

"Actually, I'm not interested in training." Declared the woman, delivering a glare to her future lover. "The one who really wants to take the training, is Issei. I'm here along with Penemue to make sure everything goes well."

"Although, we'll also take the opportunity to train." Penemue added, receiving a nod from Göndul.

"So, a man training among the Valkyries..." The Valkyrie Queen thought, giving Issei a sighing glance. "As well as being accompanied by one of the strongest entities in existence. And obviously, I can't overlook her..." She concluded, fixing her gaze on Penemue.

The woman was staring at them for a few seconds, causing a somewhat tense atmosphere to build up in the place. The brown quickly glanced sideways, beginning to feel slightly harassed by the looks Göndul was crossing between them.

"Well..." The woman bowed her shoulders. "Orders, are orders. Welcome to Asgard." Finished the woman, waving her hand as a gesture of greeting.

"First of all, I have to tell you something, Grandma." Ross commented, causing the woman to look at her with intrigue. "Lord Odin ordered me to train them personally. That way, they will be my first pupil, before I reach my 20,021st birthday."

"Hmp, I guess the old man thinks of everything!" The Queen of the Valkyries exclaimed with a small smile, slapping Rossweisse hard on the shoulder, who only deigned to rub the bruised sector with a nervous smile.

"Come to think of it, who are you really?" Issei's question made the 4 ladies look at him. "I mean, you're Odin's Right Hand, you're also cheered and respected by all the Valkyries. And now, the old man commissions you to train us personally..." Issei commented, rubbing his hair with great curiosity.

"Our lineage comes from the Disir." Göndul declared, getting everyone's attention. "Our genetics have been diluted over the years, but our body still carries divine genes." The answer surprised the brown-haired man immensely. "Women born of our lineage will always be destined to be Valkyrie Queens." Göndul pointed to herself. "I am the current Queen, and once Ross reaches her 25th physical year, she will be crowned the next Queen of the Valkyries."

"That sounds amazing!" The young man exclaimed, clenching his fist tightly at the amazing news. "Why didn't you ever tell me about that?" he asked, causing Rossweisse to rub her hair in embarrassment.

"Well, we've never had much time to talk..." Valkyrie commented, making Issei realize it was a very silly question.

"Do you want to know anything else?" Göndul asked, looking at the brown with a small amused smile after his reaction.

"Just one..." Issei commented, then assembling the most confused expression he had been seen making so far. "How is it that they can be granddaughter and grandmother?" The question caused Göndul and Ross to look at each other with great confusion. "I mean, you look about 30, and she looks a little past 20..."

"Oh, I get it!" Rossweisse exclaimed, high-fiving both hands. "You're a Reincarnated Demon, so you must not be quite used to Supernatural life yet." Ross quickly positioned himself next to her grandmother, smiling a cute smile. "Although it may seem like there's only 6 years difference between us, we're actually over 25,000 years apart." She finished, causing Issei to rub his cheek.

"That's right, I had forgotten that detail..." He commented to himself, lowering his gaze slightly.

"Do you want to start already, Ross?" Göndul asked. "You may join the formation at any time."

"Before we begin, they commented to me about mixing Issei's training." Valkyrie commented, causing Göndul to raise an eyebrow.

"Does that mean they will alternate?" the woman asked.

"Yes, but we won't do it many times." Penemue replied. "I just want to add some basic teachings that you haven't contemplated yet."

"If Ross doesn't see a problem with that, then neither do I." The Queen of the Valkyries nodded with a small smile, then gave them a nod of her head. "Now, join the group to begin the replays."

They all nodded without giving her much thought, heading down the stairs.

Issei was a bit more impressed to see the training up close, as no Valkyrie flinched at his presence.

"By the way, Valkyrie..." Rossweisse looked over her shoulders after being mentioned. "How many repetitions is that?" he asked, causing the Valkyrie to hand him an innocent smile.

"There is no number." She stated innocently. "We do the repetitions until the huge clock strikes the 15th hour." She concluded, pointing at the huge clock in the center of the pyramid castle.

"But, it's 6 o'clock in the morning..." Issei commented unable to help but turn pale.

Several hours later...

"What good is this exercise?" Issei asked, holding his katana sideways with his two hands as he remained seated, resembling some kind of meditation.

"In this type of exercise, it is not your strength that is measured, but your endurance and, above all, your patience." Replied Rossweisse, who stood next to him doing the same posture. "In certain fights, patience can lead you to a victory. Especially, if you know your opponent's weak points."

"Okay, how long should I hold it?" The young man asked, looking at his katana.

Rossweisse merely closed her eyes with a smile.

"Until sunset."

"Great, how about you better not hold it for me?" Issei asked with a roll of his eyes.

Tiamat found herself being part of the exercise with her ice sword. Her hand slipped a little, causing the sword to fall and generate a small crater accompanied by a loud clatter, earning many shocked looks from the Valkyries.

"Damn, it slipped..." Commented the dragoness as if it was nothing, taking the sword again and getting into position, ignoring olimpically all the stares that were directed towards her.

Meanwhile, a large number of Valkyries were staring wide-eyed at Penemue, who was in a lotus posture while holding her katana with only one finger, besides that every so often she changes fingers and hand with impressive skill and balance, denoting her great dominant level over the weapon.

The hours on the golden clock passed quickly, making the daylight fade quickly. The time marked was 21 o'clock, and all the Valkyries had already left.

"It's kind of annoying to be the only one who couldn't have the final fight..." Issei commented from the stairs leading up to the castle, being accompanied by Rossweisse. "It would have been cool to fight a Valkyrie..." He finished, remembering how all the Valkyries fought, with the exception of Göndul and Rossweisse.

"You can tire yourself, but not harm yourself." Ross commented, giving him a disapproving look. "Remember, you must arrive in peak condition to face Loki."

"I know, you're right..." The young man stated with a small snort, then sat down on the stairs and watched as Tiamat and Penemue were battling each other.

"Hey, what's wrong?!" The dragoness exclaimed with a big smile, clashing her sword against Penemue's katana numerous times, generating a large amount of sparks.

Finally, the two weapons clashed loudly, initiating a small tussle.

"I thought you were much faster..." Tiamat concluded her idea, taking advantage of the fact that they were both standing still.

Penemue just smiled at her words, resuming the fight as she deflected the dragoness' sword to the side with her own katana.

"I thought we were just having fun!" Cadre exclaimed, continuing the clash of frenzied attacks. "After all, you would have torn me to shreds by now if you took it more seriously too!" She concluded, causing them both to clash their weapons loudly and start a small tussle again.

The dragoness couldn't help but give her a cute smile.

Penemue returned the gesture, starting the continuous clashes again.

"I can see they're having fun..." Issei thought with a smile, seeing the happy smiles of both women.

"This is amazing..." Rossweisse sat down next to him, gaining Issei's attention. "They said that the Dragon Queen was completely insane, and that it was impossible to reason with her." The Valkyrie declared, looking at Tiamat, then diverting her gaze to Penemue. "And with Penemue, they said she had become very dark and cold after the Great War. A woman who was no longer able to smile. And look at her now..." She concluded, unable to quite believe her eyes.

"People change..." Issei commented, gaining Ross' attention. "Well, not all of them. What's more, I'm not even sure if they really changed..." He continued, as his eyes reflected the figure of both women. "They just needed help. Because, the truth is, they were always this great, and they always will be." He finished, unable to help but feel very happy to see the two women getting along so well, plus the joy already completely graced their faces, unlike when he had first met them.

Rossweisse could only be impressed after hearing all the passion that each of their words conveyed. And not only that, as their gaze also conveyed a great deal of appreciation for those two women.

Somehow, she felt a little envious...

"Do you adore them?" the woman asked, receiving a rapt nod from Issei.

"I have spent very little time with them, but all those memories I have with them are the best moments of my life. In fact, to say that I adore them is an understatement..." He commented, lowering his head for a short second, mulling over the answer. "I don't know how I can explain the affection I have for them... I'd say the two of them are all I need." A small smile appeared on the brown after his own words. "Yes, that's what they mean to me." He finished, raising his gaze again to watch as Penemue and Tiamat continued to amuse themselves.

Rossweisse stared for a few more seconds at Issei's expression, where she could clearly see the passion and affection pouring from his eyes.

He seemed to pour out so much love for them, that he implied his words fell short...

In fact, there were no words that could describe what Issei felt for both women...

"I see..." Rossweisse finally replied, looking at him with a small smile. "Why do you insist on training so hard?" the Valkyrie asked, catching Issei's attention. "I don't think it's just to defeat Loki..." The woman commented, causing him to raise his gaze to the sky.

"To become stronger?" Issei's answer sounded more like a question, getting the Valkyrie to start laughing.

"Oh, look at me, I am Hyoudou Issei, the bearer of Ddraig. I train to get stronger and prove that I am a man." The Valkyrie tried to imitate a man's tone to mock the boy, causing Issei to sweat slightly.

"Wait, no!" Issei exclaimed, waving his hands to emphasize his words. "I'm not looking to be stronger to prove I'm a man!" He explained. "I just want to become stronger so I can manage to be of help to the people I care about when they need me. That's my main desire." The young man's response surprised Ross slightly. "In this world, a lot of problems always happen. That's why, I don't want to be a burden to my loved ones." Issei clenched his fist tightly. "I want to be able to fight alongside them, and even save their lives if necessary. I know it will be an almost impossible task, but that won't stop me." Issei clenched his fist even tighter, lowering his gaze slightly. "All those people are my reason for being, they are why I feel alive. If I lose them... I would simply... There would no longer be Hyoudou Issei..." After a second of pondering his own words, the brown couldn't help but raise his gaze in slight surprise. " T-though, does wishing for that make me any less of a man?" Issei asked after remembering Ross' words, unable to help but rub his hair with an embarrassed smile.

"To be honest, I think it's quite the opposite..." Commented the woman, snapping out of her surprise. "That makes you more of a man than anyone." The Valkyrie concluded with a beautiful smile, causing Issei to be surprised by her words.

"Can we go to our rooms now?" Tiamat asked, who was approaching along with Penemue.

"Are you guys done?" Issei asked, jumping up.

"It was a lot of fun, but today I want to have dinner and go to bed early." Penemue stated, wiping the sweat off her forehead with her hand.

"I agree." The dragoness commented, then quirked a small smile. "Especially about going to bed early..." She concluded, walking alongside Penemue and Issei in the direction of the castle.

Rossweisse just watched in surprise as the three walked with a great atmosphere around them, as if there were stars surrounding the figures of the three.

"Sleepy Dragoness..." Penemue commented, causing Tiamat to cross her arms and give her a playful look.

"Do you want to keep training?" she asked. "Because I don't mind getting a little more serious myself."

"I can tell you girls had fun today!" The brown exclaimed with a big toothy grin as he placed his hands behind his neck. "You should have seen their faces! They both looked beautiful!" Issei exclaimed with a small toothy chuckle, not noticing how both women turned their faces away with an intense blush.

Rossweisse continued to watch the interaction of those three, unable to help but feel strangely moved by what she was seeing.

"Hey, Valkyrie!" Issei exclaimed with a quizzical look after reaching the entrance. "Will you tell us what our rooms are?" he asked, causing Rossweisse to startle slightly.

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry!" She exclaimed with a slight blush. "I'll be right there!" she shouted, rushing up the stairs, to go inside along with them.

An hour later...

Penemue was lying in her typical white pajamas. She was sitting, curled up somewhat cutely as she talked to her beloved, who was leaning against the exit door. The Cadre's hair was wrapped around with a towel, indicating that she had recently bathed.

"You really don't like it?" Issei asked, crossing his arms. "It even has a rather spacious bathroom..." He concluded, causing Penemue to shake his head slightly.

"It's not the place, it's me." Cadre replied, covering half of her face with her knees. "Whenever I visit an unfamiliar place, I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable. Especially if I have to stay alone." She concluded, unable to help but give a small sigh at the end.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Issei replied with a smile, receiving a somewhat distrustful look from the Cadre. "If you have any problems, you can come see me." He stated, grabbing the doorknob. "After all, my room is next door." He finished, giving a curt nod before leaving, receiving a nod from the Cadre.

Just as Issei was about to leave, he could sense Rossweisse arriving from the hallway.

"Oh, Issei!" The Valkyrie exclaimed with a smile, quickly approaching the aforementioned. "I was just looking for you."

"Me?" Issei asked, pointing at himself rather uncertainly.

"I wanted to know if you found the rooms cozy." Ross answered the boy's doubt, causing the boy to smile at her.

"They're perfect." Issei replied. "Penemue has some problems, but it's a personal thing. I guess in a day he'll grow out of it." He concluded, receiving a somewhat hesitant nod from the Valkyrie.

"If you say so..." She commented, then glancing towards the nearest stairs. "Before I go to check on Tiamat, I'd like to ask you a favor." The young man couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the proposal.

"What's it about?" He asked, causing Rossweisse to lower her gaze in great embarrassment, something that only intensified Issei's curiosity.

"I don't know if you remember, but the first time we met, Lord Odin had talked about my unmarriage..." She commented, causing a small light bulb to go off above the brown's head after remembering that talk which, in his view, was a bit funny. "I... I was wondering if you could help me behave properly..." She explained, causing Issei to raise both eyebrows. "I mean...I don't think any man approaches me because of my attitude...and... I've been on a few dates... but they're always a disaster..." Rossweisse clung tightly to the cut skirt of her armor. "It's been thousands of years since the last time..." The Valkyrie's eyes began to twitch, indicating that she was about to cry.

Issei could only rub his hair with some pity at the woman's mention.

"But why are you in such a hurry to get a mate?" the brown-haired man asked. "I mean, I understand that it can be very frustrating to be alone for thousands of years, but..." Issei couldn't help but sweat slightly when Rossweisse looked up with a visibly damaged face at his last words, where tears threatened to run down her cheeks.

"I screwed up..." Was all the shadow could think after seeing such a devastating expression.

"It's not just frustration." The Valkyrie declared, trying her best not to cry. "When we Valkyries reach 25 physical years, we are considered elite warriors. If any Valkyrie fails to marry before that age, it is considered a great dishonor." She explained, wiping away the tears that were threatening to roll down her face, opting for a much calmer look. "I am only a few months away from reaching that age. That's why I'm so worried."

"Now I understand you perfectly..." Issei thought aloud, rubbing his chin. "But, I'm afraid you're picking the wrong person." He commented with a nervous smile, causing Ross to blink in utter disbelief. "You see, I'm completely useless in all matters. You should find someone who can really be of help to you and who has experience, or at least who isn't completely useless at love affairs..." He concluded, lowering his gaze with some sadness as he listened to his own words.

After all, he didn't like remembering that part of his past at all...

"Wait! Are you serious!" the woman's question and energetic tone surprised Issei. "I mean, you three get along too well. I could tell just by watching you for a few seconds." The Valkyrie commented, clearly referring to Issei's relationship with Penemue and Tiamat. "I'm sure you could help me!" She exclaimed, clenching her fists tightly with sparkles in her eyes.

"Hmmm, I don't know..." Issei commented, not so sure about the idea.

"Oh, I get it..." Commented the Valkyrie, causing a small depressive aura to surround her. "Tiamat and Penemue most likely won't like the idea..."

In those moments, the young man couldn't help but look at her with great confusion.

Why would he need their approval?

The question answered itself in a matter of seconds, causing the man's expression to change dramatically.

"Wow, wow, wow!" Issei quickly waved his hands, causing Rossweisse's silent cries to disappear. "Those two deserve someone so much better! We're obviously not a couple, and I'm not going to have one either!" Sweat began to run down Issei's face. "What's more, I don't even think about falling in love!"

After the young man's words, Rossweisse's depressive aura began to transform into one full of energy and happiness, until she finally hugged him tightly.

"Does that mean you'll help me!" Valkyrie asked, unable to stop herself from rubbing her cheek with Issei's.

"If you insist so much..." The man commented with rolled eyes, seeing the Valkyrie's notoriously childish attitude when talking about couples.

"It's a promise!" She exclaimed with great joy, separating herself by a small jump. "Then, we'll have fun tomorrow night!" she concluded, sketching a rather precious smile, making the brown rub his hair at such dazzling energy.

"Okay..." Issei finally smiled at her, "I hope I can be of help, Valkyrie."

"You may call me Rossweisse, or simply Ross." Valkyrie commented, already with a much more normal attitude.

"Understood, Ro..."

"Stop making so much noise!"

Issei and Rossweisse watched as Penemue opened the door, clearly annoyed by the loud energetic chatter they were having right in front of her bedroom door.

Instead of apologizing, Ross noticed the Cadre's pajamas, specifically the large cleavage protruding above them because of her huge breasts. Added to her now loose, wet hair that gave her a rather erotic look.

"Hey, Penemue!" Valkyrie exclaimed, raising an incriminating finger. "You can't go around opening doors like that without a bra, especially knowing there's a man on the other side who isn't your husband!"

Issei, who was trying to calm Penemue down, could only glare at Rossweisse, just as the Cadre turned her gaze to the Valkyrie.

Penemue quickly opted for a bored look, and looked at her that way for a few seconds.

Rossweisse couldn't help but feel slightly uncomfortable, so she began to look between Penemue and Issei.

"What?" the Valkyrie finally broke the silence, only to roll her eyes when Penemue slammed the door loudly.

The two stared at the door in silence for a few seconds, until Rossweisse finally spoke.

"I'll go check on Tiamat."

" Fine."

The two parted without much words, Issei went next door, while Rossweisse went up the stairs.

"By the way, you said earlier that you weren't planning on falling in love..." Ross's words made Issei stop. "Unfortunately, we can't control what our heart feels." Those were her last words, leaving a hesitant Issei for several seconds.

The young man entered and closed the door, taking several steps forward, only to fall limp to the matrimonial bed.

"How is it that my body can be so tense?" he wondered, then sitting down at the foot of the bed. "Oh, that's right. I was holding my katana for over 5 hours without lifting a finger..." He concluded, looking down at his weapon, who was propped up in the corner.

Issei quickly took off his clothes, remaining only in his underwear. Just before going to bed, the brown couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he saw the bathroom door.

"Come to think of it, why is there a sound of a dryer since I got here?" he wondered, only to make a shaved turn to cover himself with the sheets when he saw the door open.

The noise of the dryer intensified, and the light blue hairs swaying with great freedom gave a completely majestic look to the dragoness, who was in a black undergarment. The color was something of a novelty, as she used to always wear white.

"Tiamat?" the man asked with rolling eyes. "What are you doing in my room?"

"Since we always sleep together, I don't see the problem..." The dragoness replied, turning off the hairdryer and putting it aside. "Can you fix my hair?" The dragoness planted the question mark, only to see Issei quickly get up and sit at the foot of the bed.

"How do I have to do it?" The young man asked, obviously having no idea on how he should treat such long hair.

The dragoness positioned a large comb in his hand.

"Just do it carefully and gently." She replied, managing to make Issei blush as the woman sat on his lap. "Make sure my hair doesn't hurt." She finished, delicately moving her hands back to give the brown a better view of her hair.

Issei heeded the dragoness's accoutrements, treating her hair with great care. Tiamat closed her eyes with a very slight blush as she felt the brown's hands work her slightly damp hair with great affection.

"What is this smell, is it her hair?" thought Issei, tilting her head forward involuntarily. "It smells great..." He opened his eyes again, seeing the dragoness' bare skin. Issei positioned a hand on Tiamat's bare shoulder, causing the woman to spasm slightly at the sudden contact. "She smells great, she has beautiful, smooth skin, her figure is superior to that of a goddamn goddess..." He thought, unable to help but close his eyes empathetically. "And... Still...Her fiancé played with her just to have power on his side..."

The dragoness opened her eyes with a small blush as Issei positioned his chin on her shoulder.

"Are you done?" she asked, trying to disguise the fact that she was blushing.

"Yes..." He replied somewhat sadly, something that caught the dragoness' attention. "You really don't want to...?" The brown-haired man's question made Tiamat raise an eyebrow.

"Want what?"

"We talked about it before..." Issei commented. "You're one of the most beautiful women I've ever met. You should give some man a chance." Tiamat just frowned slightly at what she was hearing. "I understand that what was done by your former fiancé was too much for you..." Issei couldn't help but lower his gaze in great sadness. "But are you sure you'll be left with no one because of him?" he asked, standing up straight again and resuming fixing her hair.

"Issei, I already told you I would never fall in love again." The dragoness replied, clearly intending to end the conversation.

"Unfortunately, we can't control what our heart feels..." Issei repeated Rossweisse's words, making Tiamat tense up for a second.

"That's true..." Tiamat commented after a second of silence. "But I don't want to, because I'm afraid of being rejected. Very afraid..." She concluded, sketching a small smile. "But, you're wrong about one thing." Tiamat couldn't help but blush at what she was about to say.

"I am not alone. I have you..."

Tiamat could feel how Issei stopped the movement of the comb for a second, then continued.

"You're right. You know you can always count on me." The chestnut replied with a smile, making the dragoness feel very happy.

But that was only for a second, as her face suddenly became very serious.

"That's why, if you ever get to have a mate..." The dragoness' voice sounded low, something that surprised Issei slightly.

"Hmp!" the young man sneered. "I already told you I'm not going to have..."

"Listen to me!"

Tiamat's outburst startled Issei, who could only be immensely surprised by the sudden reaction.

"If you ever get a mate, try conversing with her that you can sleep with me..." She commented, causing the brown-haired man to be even more surprised. "Before, I always jokingly said that if you had a girlfriend I couldn't sleep with you anymore. But the truth is, I got to thinking it through..." Even though Issei was watching her from behind, she could see how the dragoness clenched her fists tightly. "And I don't want that!"

Issei could only remain completely dumbfounded by Tiamat's words, until he finally started laughing.

"Hey, don't tease!" The dragoness exclaimed with a small pout, giving him a sidelong glance.

"Okay, okay!" Issei stopped laughing, unable to help but keep smiling. "I promise, if I ever have a girlfriend, I'll convince her." He stated, unable to help but blush a little at what he was about to say. "To be honest, I wouldn't do it just for you. After all, I think it would hurt me too not to be able to sleep next to you..." He concluded, causing a slight blush to appear on Tiamat's face. "Besides, you would no longer have fun sneaking into my room when my parents are home." He finished, unable to help but do so with a subjective tone.

"You're right." The dragoness replied between small giggles.

"By the way, what did you mean when you said you were afraid?" Issei's question made the dragoness lower her head for a short second, only to raise it again.

"I know perfectly well that I have a knockout body, I'm not stupid..." She commented, unable to avoid drawing a bitter smile on her face. "But, I'm afraid that they won't love me, that they'll use me again, or reject me." Tiamat couldn't help but give a small sigh, looking up at the ceiling. "After all, everyone I've been with ends up saying I'm a deranged madwoman..." Tiamat couldn't help but bite her lower lip.

"Who would fall in love with a crazy woman?"

"They're right, you are a little crazy..." Issei commented, causing the dragoness' vision to darken with clear sadness. "But that's a part of you, and it's adorable." Tiamat's lips twisted in awe. "As is your likeability, your likes, your attitude..." Issei had a small flashback of that first time he felt completely surrendered to her.

She only needed to do one thing to make it happen...

"And above all, your smile..."

After hearing those words, Tiamat couldn't help but put both hands on her breasts, due to her heart beating wildly.

"Every part of you is adorable, the problem is that they didn't take the time to decipher it!" Finished Issei with great assurance, sketching a smile that Tiamat could never forget.

Issei's smile dropped completely as the dragoness turned her face away.

She had her eyes glazed over, and a huge blush on her face that gave her a divine look...

A face so beautiful and lovely that Issei would be unable to forget...

"Really... really think that about me?" Tiamat's question was heard softly, trying to conceal that her voice was about to crack.

Somehow, Issei snapped out of his stupor and gave her a thumbs up, delivering a toothy grin.

"Of course!" He exclaimed with full confidence and assurance, only to be surprised when the dragoness hugged him with enormous force, pulling him to the bed.

"Please..."

Tiamat snuggled as much as possible into Issei.

"Please..."

The dragoness' voice sounded very shaky, at the same time her blush increased as she felt Issei's arms wrapped around her body with great affection.

"..."

"..."

"Please..."

"..."

"..."

"Never leave me alone..."

Seeing Tiamat hide her gaze in her chest, Issei knew she was about to cry. And, obviously, the dragoness didn't want to be seen in such a way.

So he only deigned to smile, then kiss her forehead, making Tiamat's body burn with emotion at such a loving gesture.

"I promise." He replied, only to increase his smile a little more when the dragoness sunk her face even deeper into his chest at the response.

"Issei?"

Both the brown and the dragoness snapped out of their little imposed fantasy because of the voice of a certain Valkyrie. Who was still standing outside.

"Can I come in?" the question made Issei roll his eyes.

"I'm fucked..." Was all he could think, just before dragging Tiamat underneath the sheets, much to the dragoness' surprise.

"I'm a little busy right now..." He replied with a grin, settling back on the bed. "What a bullshit excuse!" he cursed internally, causing a hesitant smile to appear on his face.

"Hum, okay..." She commented from the other side, respecting the brown's privacy. "I just wanted to ask you if you know where Tiamat is." The question caused the dragoness to peek her face out from under the sheets, being covered again by Issei. "She wasn't in her room..."

"Oh, yes!" He exclaimed with a nervous smile. "We forgot to tell you that she likes to go for a walk at night!" he concluded.

"Hum, well..." Valkyrie replied with some hesitation, but decided to take Issei's word for it.

"Safe!" Issei thought internally, giving a silent but long whistle.

"Why didn't you tell her the truth?" Tiamat peeked her face out from under the sheets again, as she settled herself on the brown's chest to sleep.

"When you get to know her a little better you'll understand perfectly, believe me..."

"Okay, but now that she's gone..." Tiamat hugged him tightly and lovingly. "Don't you want to play a little?" She asked, causing Issei to give her a stinging look.

"So, that's why you wanted to go to bed so early, huh?" he asked, causing a small blush of embarrassment to appear on the dragoness' face. "That's fine. But there will be new rules." Hearing this, Tiamat couldn't help but look at him with great interest. "No foot tickling will do. And most importantly..." Issei's gaze grew exceedingly scurfy. "You can't smother me with your breasts anymore!"

"But...!"

"That's cheating!" Issei interrupted Tiamat, causing the dragoness to give a loud snort.

"You take the fun out of life..." She babbled under her breath, sounding very adorable. "Very well..." She replied in the end, unable to help herself from smiling a slightly mischievous grin. "I'll beat you anyway."

A large, defiant countenance adorned Issei's figure.

"That remains to be seen..." He replied, only for both of them to start laughing, crawling under the sheets and generating a small commotion.

An hour later...

"She finally fell asleep..." Issei thought with slight grace as he stroked Tiamat's hair, who was sleeping peacefully beside him.

Just as he was about to fall asleep as well, he could feel some strange movements from under the sheets, something that alerted him slightly. His face flushed almost instantly as he could make out the warm, shapely body of a woman resting on his figure.

Finally, the woman peeked her face between the sheets, seeing that it was a certain woman.

"Penemue?" Issei questioned with a pouty face. "How did you get in without making any noise? And more importantly, why are you here?" The brown's questions caused Penemue to give a small yawn as she carefully leaned back against her future lover's chest.

"I couldn't sleep." Was the simple answer from Penemue, who just closed her eyes and settled even more on Issei's body, causing him to blush slightly. "This place gives me the creeps. I hope you don't mind if I sleep with you for this week."

"No, I understand..." Issei replied with a nervous smile.

"Mmm..." Penemue purred as she snuggled more and more, until she finally smiled.

"Good night..."

A few seconds passed, and Issei had both her hands raised in the air, not knowing what to do in this situation.

"Even though I said that..." She thought with a small blush. "It's the first time I've slept alone in my underwear next to Penemue, and it's slightly uncomfortable..." The young man couldn't help but stare at the Cadre's huge bust for a short second, seeing that it was pressing tightly against his chest. "Damn, her temperature is extremely hot and comforting..." He thought, closing his eyes tightly. "Are all Fallen Angels like this?" he questioned, making a small movement to the right, taking a little off Tiamat, as both women were practically on top of him.

"But I don't dislike it..." He thought with a small smile. "In fact, it's very comfortable." He concluded, feeling Tiamat hug him from behind in his drowsy state.

It was rather cute to see that she wanted to stay as close to him as possible, even while asleep...

A few hours later...

It was the middle of the night, and the three of them were sleeping peacefully. Issei had found a way to turn his body to the side without waking either of the two women. In fact, it could be said that all three were quite heavy sleepers.

Although everything seemed quite normal, Issei could be seen to be making small grimaces, as he moved his arms under the sheets to the front.

Penemue's face began to flush slightly, as her breathing became more erratic.

Finally, the Cadre opened her eyes, where she could be seen noticeably confused and overwhelmed by a feeling of ecstasy that shouldn't be there, as she wasn't having any dirty dreams.

"What is this feeling?" the Cadre wondered internally, then widened her eyes to their widest. "What is...?!" She couldn't finish her thoughts, as she had to hold back a sudden moan.

Underneath the sheets, it could be seen how Issei had his two hands together, and was doing some kind of repetition, as if he had a weapon. The problem was that he was rubbing his hands with great force on the Cadre's breasts.

Penemue did her best to resist the stimulations to find out what the heck was going on.

"Issei?" The woman managed to whisper quietly, only to bite her index finger when she felt a great surge of pleasure. "Why does it feel so good?!" she couldn't help but scream internally, genuinely surprised at her body's reaction.

Her pupil just mumbled a couple of things, from which only "katana" could be heard, and that was enough information for Penemue.

"He's sleeping..." Cadre thought, narrowing her eyes slightly as she bit her finger even harder, at the same time as her blush reached the highest level. "I just have to turn him over..."

Penemue gently grabbed him by the shoulders so he wouldn't wake up. Even so, Issei was still going through the motions, so that hot stimulation wasn't over.

"I just... I have to... turn him over..."

She began rubbing her thighs against her will.

"I just... have..."

Penemue opened her mouth in a lewd manner, causing a great choked sigh covered in pleasure to be heard throughout the room.

"Just..."

Just as the Cadre reasserted her grip on the brown man's elbows, she stared him in the face.

"Just..."

He was sleeping like an angel, while a tiny smile was on his face.

"Penemue..." Issei muttered, causing Cadre's eyes to widen as they glazed over more and more.

"I just need him right now!"

Penemue unbuttoned her white pajamas with a sharp tug with her hands, causing her breasts to be completely exposed. These bounced with great energy as they were released, unleashing their full size, being completely majestic. Her peculiar inverted nipples and her completely sweaty body delivered a more than appetizing sight.

She quickly took Issei's hands and brought them to her breasts, giving a big sigh full of pleasure.

She snuggled even closer to Issei and whispered in his ear.

"Enough repetition." Penemue's lips moved seductively. "Now, I want you to move your arms in circles, giving light squeezes on occasion."

As if he were a robot, Issei quickly complied with the command, and his hands began to glide across the Cadre's smooth, pale skin. Her breasts were so gigantic and cushioned, that both of his pupil's hands sank almost completely into them.

Penemue covered her mouth with one hand as the brown continued to deal with her big weak spot.

"It's like... he's setting me on fire..." She thought, as her eyes filled with pleasure. "Oh God, it's so good..." Penemue's hips began to press hard against her beloved's crotch, making very suggestive pelvic movements. "Your hands feel too good..." She closed her eyes tightly, pressing her cavity into the waist of the man she loved as hard as she could. "My whole body feels soooo good!" she moaned internally, as she felt an orgasm hit her with great force.

She pulled her waist slightly away from Issei's, seeing how her black panties were completely wet, where threads made of somewhat thick liquid connected her waist to Issei's waist.

She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Issei's face. He was slightly agitated by everything that was happening.

Her eyes widened slightly as she felt Issei's small erection hit her just below her intimate entrance.

"I... I can't take it anymore..." Cadre leaned close to her beloved's ear as she pressed her naked body tightly against his. "He drives me crazy just by touching me a little..." Penemue's breathing became even more agitated as she wrapped her legs around Issei's legs.

"I've been ignoring it until now, but I can't anymore... I'm a Fallen Angel."

Penemue's hands slowly moved to Issei's cheeks, giving her a rather gentle and loving caress.

"Especially, when my body is brushing against the body of the person that I..."

"..."

Penemue's hips began to move slowly over her beloved's erection, causing a very pleasurable rubbing.

"..."

"...That I love so much..."

Penemue's hips began to move even faster, causing Issei to make small gestures.

"I...love...you..."

This time it wasn't a thought...

"I love you..."

She was whispering it in his ear.

"I love you..."

The hip movement intensified a little more, causing some rather lewd sounds to begin to be heard.

"I love you!"

She couldn't help but say it louder, as her eyes began to fill with tears.

"I love you!"

"I love you!"

She closed her eyes tightly, letting all that crying she was holding back flow out.

"I want to be your woman!"

"I want you to kiss me till I'm breathless!"

"I want it so badly!"

Those were the last sincere words to leave her lips, before she snuggled her face into Issei's neck as she continued to cry. The swaying of hips had stopped, and you could see how the sheets were stained even more than they were a few seconds ago...

An hour before dawn...

"Why am I dreaming this...?" The brown wondered, lying on the bed next to the Fallen.

Penemue was holding him by the cheeks with utmost affection, as her warm, sweaty body pressed tightly against his.

Penemue's pelvic movements rubbed hard against his erection, causing Issei to clench his teeth tightly.

"Why does everything feel so real?!" He thought, feeling his whole body feel extremely hot from the contact he was having with Penemue.

The young man's eyes couldn't help but widen slightly as he watched tears shoot from the Cadre's face.

"Is she crying?" Issei wondered in some disbelief, as he couldn't get a good look at her face. It was probably because she was so close and it was a dream.

"I love you!"

Issei couldn't help but feel a great shiver as those words left her lips, accompanied by a voice that was covered in crying.

It sounded as if she was venting...

Just at that moment, Issei opened his eyes wide. He quickly relaxed knowing that was no longer in the dream.

That calm expression didn't last more than a second.

Why is everything so wet?" That was his first thought as he felt the wetness of the sheets, only to start turning purple when he finally realized.

In front of him was Penemue asleep with a completely flushed face as she was breathing heavily. The sheets had been pulled back, so her breasts were completely exposed. And there were his two hands, clinging tightly to the two huge mounds...

Issei made a huge leap off the bed, falling to his knees on the floor, getting both women to wake up from the huge noise.

"SORRY!" he shouted, crashing his forehead hard against the floor, generating a slight tremor.

Tiamat quickly turned around, and saw the condition her friend was in.

Penemue sat up and crawled across the bed, not caring that her breasts were still exposed.

"Wait, Issei!" The woman exclaimed with slight terror on her face at what she herself had done. "I...!" The woman stopped as Issei raised his head, as his small erection could be seen.

The two women blushed fiercely, so Issei looked down at his crotch and quickly covered himself with both of his hands.

"SORRY!" he shouted again, running straight to the bathroom.

Issei shut the door tightly, causing a rather awkward silence to fall between the two women, looking intently towards the bathroom.

As the shower water began to run, the two finally looked at each other.

"I think you have a lot of things to explain to me..." Tiamat commented, unable to help but draw a mischievous smile on her face.

"I..." Penemue covered her breasts quickly with her pajamas, as her eyes began to twitch. "He touched me in his sleep, and I couldn't control myself..." She said softly, as a few tears began to stream down her face. "I-I took advantage of him..." Tiamat couldn't help but let out a sigh as she watched the Cadre begin to cry.

"Relax..." Tiamat commented, approaching her and giving her a small hug. Without a doubt, the dragoness' gesture surprised Penemue. "It's in your nature, and it's hard to fight against it." She stated gently, making it clear that she supported her. "I know how it feels, believe me. I was about to do something myself once..." Penemue hugged her back, stopping crying as she felt comforted.

"How did you cope with it?" Cadre asked her, resting her chin on the dragoness' shoulder to relax.

"The first thing you must do, is not ignore your growing libido. If you do, I think you've already checked what will happen..." She commented, unable to help but smile teasingly at what she had witnessed. "When there is too much arousal in my body, I usually have to pleasure myself until my body relaxes. I take a whole night with that, and sometimes longer."

"Are you saying I have to stay up for a whole day to get all that burning my body feels?" She asked in utter amazement, as she had never needed that much time before.

"Well, I'm in Mating Season, and in my case it's much more complicated to keep me sane in compromising situations. Maybe you don't need so much time..." She commented, separating herself from Penemue.

"Maybe I do..." Penemue stated, lowering her face slightly with some embarrassment. "I've noticed that my libido has increased a lot since I've been with Issei." The Cadre couldn't help but hug herself. "I think the fact that I'm always so close to him, and not being able to do anything... That's what's driving me crazy..."

"You've never thought about having sex before. But now that you love someone so much, things start to change. Especially if you're a pretty special Fall, like you." She concluded, unable to help but make a small amused snort as Penemue blushed in embarrassment at her words.

"Then, I won't ignore that burning, empty feeling anymore..." Cadre replied, as she touched her lower abdomen with a small blush. After all, that's where she felt that great emptiness, and she knew the reason perfectly well.

"Having resolved this issue..." Tiamat sat down in front of her, looking at her with great attention. "How did you feel when you were touched by him?" she asked with great interest.

"Hm, I-I-I don't know how to explain it..." She commented with a little stutter. "I just felt like my whole body was on fire, but it wasn't burning. It was a warm feeling that embraced my whole body..." She tried to explain, then touched her chest, pressing hard. "Especially, here..." She commented with a big blush. "Being able to feel his body through mine, made me feel like I was in a dream, and..." Cadre's blush intensified. "I couldn't hold back. As I let myself be absolved by all the passion and pleasure, I started whispering a couple of things to him..."

"And what were they?" the dragoness asked. Her legs were twitching, indicating that she was highly entertained by the story.

Penemue couldn't help but lower her gaze with a big blush on her face.

"..."

"Do I really have to tell them to you?"

Meanwhile, Issei was in the bathroom, fresh out of the shower. He was looking at his little friend, who was still just as steady as much of the night.

"I even took an ice cold shower to relax..." He thought, only to frown as memories of him touching Penemue's breasts came back to his mind. "But I still feel like I'm touching them..." Issei couldn't help but let out a big sigh of frustration. "I can't go out like this!" He exclaimed, rubbing his hair in great frustration.

"*Just take care of it!*" Ddraig's voice came through his hand, causing Issei to cover his crotch with a huge blush.

"D-Ddra-Ddraig, were you watching me?!" Issei exclaimed with his eyes rolling.

"*Please! I've been living with you since you were born!*" the dragon exclaimed. "Do you think this is the first time I've seen an erection from you?!"

"Hum, you're quite right..." The brown man thought aloud, removing his hands, then looking down at his unruly member again. "But if I do that, I'd be breaking my promise..." He stated with great seriousness.

"*You mean the promise you made before you died?*" Ddraig asked, unable to help but scoff with a small snort. "*Listen to me, brat. It's one thing to be a complete perverted idiot with severe mental problems, to being someone who just got an erection because he got turned on by something completely understandable*" The dragon explained, then turned serious. "*It's a completely natural reaction, Issei. In fact, I was already getting worried seeing that your body barely even reacted every day you slept with Tiamat...*" Issei simply rubbed his hair, remembering all the times he was in a bit of a compromising situation with Tiamat and Penemue.

"Actually, I already knew that..." Issei sighed after his own words. "It's just...every time I think of them like that..." Issei couldn't help but lower his gaze sadly. "I can't help but feel bad..." Issei rubbed the back of his neck in clear annoyance. "Do you think seeing only them as attractive women has anything to do with it?"

"*Surely...*" Ddraig decided to answer the question, but not settle his doubt completely.

"If I tell you the reason why you only see the two of them as attractive, you probably won't believe me. I just hope he stops fooling himself, because he's suffering..." The dragon concluded his thoughts, unable to help but worry for his bearer. "Although, to tell the truth, I don't think he'll stop suffering when he accepts that he's in love with them..."

Ddraig only closed his eyes when he saw Issei take his penis to begin with.

"At that point, yes I will try to help him. Maybe I can convince him to make some move. And if he doesn't listen to me eventually, I'll just break my promise and tell him that Tiamat is in love with him..."

In the bedroom, Penemue was arranging all the wet sheets.

"Help me change this, before Rossweisse shows up." Cadre commented, getting Tiamat to raise an eyebrow.

"Why?" she asked with a slightly mocking tone. "Are you embarrassed for her to see all that you cum?" Penemue gave her a sharp look for what she heard.

"No." Was the Cadre's simple reply, then continued to order. "When you get to know her a little better you'll understand perfectly, believe me..."

Tiamat couldn't help but have a little Déjà vu in those moments.

Several minutes later...

Issei came out with only a towel around his waist, slightly surprised when he saw everything much cleaner. On the bed, both women were sitting on the edge of it, talking quietly.

Tiamat and Penemue stopped chatting when they saw the young man finally come out.

Issei couldn't help but abandon eye contact with Penemue instantly. He slowly approached as he rubbed his arm, then knelt down in front of the woman and gave a big bow.

"I'm sorry..." Issei couldn't help but feel like an idiot, as the apology sounded super lame.

Issei's eyes widened in great surprise as he felt two beautiful, soft hands cup his cheek.

Issei couldn't help but blush as Penemue hugged him lovingly, putting his face right in the middle of her huge cleavage.

"Don't worry, it was an accident..." Penemue's sweet and loving voice made Issei relax completely, closing his eyes to listen better to her heartbeat.

Instead of ending the embrace, the Cadre rested her chin on top of her pupil's forehead, closing her eyes and enjoying the moment.

Tiamat could only widen her smile with great tenderness, seeing the beautiful moment between them.

Unfortunately, that beautiful moment would not last more than 5 seconds...

"Issei, it's about time to..." Rossweisse stopped instantly upon seeing the situation.

There was Issei, with only a towel covering him...

Penemue in a rather revealing pajamas(in her eyes), hugging the man ...

And Tiamat with only a pair of underwear...

Rossweisse's gaze slowly changed to from one of disbelief to one full of fury.

"Can you explain to me what's going on?" she asked with a frown, as a slight blush came to her face at the thought of what they were doing all night.

Penemue and Issei simply looked at each other with an innocent look, then looked back at Rossweisse.

Meanwhile, Tiamat simply bowed her shoulders.

"Sleep?" The dragoness replied.

END OF CHAPTER!

As I always say, I hope you enjoyed it.

We will be seeing each other very soon for the next chapter.

Thanks so much for reading!
