"... Why am I such a mess?" Isane, on a bench in the public park, complained as she finished drinking a soda. Her eyes were puffy and red as she had cried a lot just now.

Last night, the abduction and all she experienced made Isane feel more vividly than any talk she has had before that she was weak. No, not just weak, that she was a weight on Ace's neck, dragging him down.

For years now, she kinda enjoyed being just that. Having Ace worry and hover around her protectively. How he would never hesitate to come to her rescue whenever someone tried anything she was uncomfortable with, it made her feel special to him.

But last night, it was not like those times. It was not some idiot who came after her for her body and it alone. No, it was someone who actually came to kill her, most likely rape her too if that white haired freak was being honest.

Once again, she had to be saved, and yet this time she did not find it to be good. While thankful that she was saved, her cousin has killed others for it. He was so scary, he showed a whole new side of him she did not know anything about, and was so sadistic that she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Worse, he acted as if none of it was her fault. She has known about the supernatural for a few days now, was offered to join Rias's peerage, was offered proper training, and she did not take even one of those chances.

Isane was not sure any of those would have been enough to let her save herself from that situation, she was even pretty confident it would not have been enough at all, but she would at least have had a chance. Not just be a damsel in distress, leaving all the fighting for her cousin to do.

And now? Now she yelled at him for essentially being king and helping her. Why did she do that, even she could not tell.

She was just so frustrated with herself that she just lashed out at Ace when he tried to comfort her, and now-

"He must hate me." Isane grumbled on the bench. "Why can't I do anything right?"

"Isane, is that you?"

A voice called out to the brown haired girl, turning towards it Isane saw that it was actually Akeno who was dressed in yoga pants and a crop top.

"Himejima-sempai, good morning." Isane said with a tired expression to her senpai who approached with a worried expression.

"What happened? Your eyes are all red and puffy, you clearly have been crying." Akeno said, carefully and gently cleaning the cheeks of Isane.

The young girl sobbed a bit more before deciding to spill the beans to Akeno. She told everything of what had happened, at most leaving behind some stuff she did not know exactly how they worked like when all those stray exorcists and the fallen angel corpses vanished in thin air in front of her.

As for Akeno, she listened to everything calmly on the surface but, inside, she was fuming in anger.

'How DARE those fallen scum touch a friend of mine? I wish they were still around so I could show them my displeasure!' Akeno thought to herself.

During this time after interacting with Isane together with Rias the three girls grew rather close. Rias and Isane bounded nicely regarding their otaku tendencies while Akeno and Isane shared much in regard to their… preferences.

The Bondage magazine collection of the two as well as their sex toy catalog was quite extensive, after all.

"What do you think I should do, Himejima-senpai?" Isane said and Akeno had to stop to think about it.

After thinking about it for a while, Akeno had an idea.

"Your problem is that you are lacking confidence." Akeno ascertained, making Isane twitch slightly. Sighing at her kouhai's expression, Akeno continued. "Your problem is not that complicated to deal with. All you need to do is improve your power so that what happens doesn't happen again, as well as make Ace accept that you are the one making your own decisions."

Isane, hearing that, stopped to think about it before a determined expression appeared in her face.

"HImejima-senpai, I have decided. I will join Gremori-senpai's peerage."

Akeno's expression showed her surprise as she questioned.

"Are you su-"

"I am sure." Isane cut her off, her face showing her determination. "I know what Ace thinks, but I have already decided. I will join her and become strong, strong enough to where he will see that I can defend myself."

Inside Isane, a certain red dragon of domination nodded in approval. It may not be all that satisfying about his host being a woman who lacks the fighter spirit he prefers in his hosts, but her decision right now was more to his liking. The Red Dragon Empress should be decisive in her wishes and desires, especially if they involve becoming strong.

Besides, knowing how Albion and his relationship usually went, Draig was halfway expecting whoever the host of Albion of this time was would either be a woman (or man, no judgment) that grows interested in Ace, or someone that would come to kill him.

The relationship between the White and Red Dragon hosts was always like that. It was fate, which Draig halfway blamed on the three fate sisters of the Greek Pantheon.

It was not Draig's fault that the three looked the same and he slept with the wrong one! It was an honest mistake, she even acted just like his girl usually liked during their sex, lots of screaming and play-fighting (his bitch likes rapeplay and such). Draig honestly could not say how was it his fault that he got the virgin one that had started dating Albion?

Whatever, he got that one's cherry instead of Albion, that was all that matters and he would forever hold it over the White One's head.

Ace's P.O.V.

After a good few hours of rest and sleep, I am ready to do something I should have done a while now.

Taking out my phone I begin disking a number. It rings twice before an answer on the other side could be heard.

"Hello, Ace-kun? Did something happen?" Ravel answers on the other side, her voice slightly groggy as if she just woke up.

"Did I get you on a bad time?"

"Not really, I just had to stay awake until almost early morning because my stupid brother decided to go on a tour around the Red Light District last night and someone had to babysit him." Ravel says exasperated.

"Shouldn't his peerage be the ones doing that, or one of your older siblings?" I question, not understanding how she was the one that had to do that.

Her answer, however, did not surprise me.

"His peerage was pretty much selected because they enjoy what he does and follow him around, being no better. As for my older siblings, both SAID they were busy but they were probably just not in the mood to babysit Riser and make sure he did not try and fuck someone he shouldn't, again." Ravel says and I can't help but ask.

"When you says again-"

"He fucked one of the cadres of the fallen angels during an orgy and was caught in camera screwing her, the number of older devils who claimed he might be a spy or sympathizer with the enemy after that time is ridiculous."

I hissed a bit at that one. Yeah, that must have been a shitstorm and half.

"Wait a moment." Ravel says on the other side of the phone as I wait a bit. After a little while she speaks again. "Ah, that is better. Brazilian strong black coffee has just the kick to get me up."

… Can't say I disagree on that one. Also, good to know she is a coffee person, tea is overrated anyway.

"Anyway, why did you call? Did something happen?" Ravel asks again, apparently the coffee having helped fully wake her up.

"... I want to join your peerage." I said directly.

"PSHHH, COUGH COUGH, W-What?" She said, clearly having spit up her coffee and coughing a bit.

"I said I decided to join you. Kinda need to join a devil's peerage as soon as possible or the Leviathan will push me into someone else's peerage."

"Wait, wait, wait, Serafal-sama? Why would she be involved with this? Just what is going on?"

Oh, right, she is not related to any Satan. Why would she, who is unrelated to any Satan and is not the overseer in town, know of what happened last night?

Guess I should just tell her, she would be my 'king' soon enough anyways.

"Well, my cousin got kidnapped by some fallen angels in town and I went to rescue her. I kinda ended up killing a few dozen stray exorcists and four pure fallen angels there. Oh, and early today, when I went to Sona's house to train a bit, I met her older sister and went with her to talk with Azazel about what happened while I may or may not have gotten the Sitri sisters to give me a lap dance/striptease. Ah, and I met the White Dragon Empress while my cousin is the Red one, is it weird that the White dragon empress seems to have been horny as she looked at me after she challenged me to a fight?"

I waited for some sort of reaction and, after a few minutes of silence I feared my phone might have run out of battery mid call, I heard Ravel's answer.

"You know what, fine, whatever. This is not even the top 5 weirdest things my own brother went through. I will send someone to go pick you up so you can come to my house. They should arrive in ten minutes."

After that she hung up the phone. Guess she is not happy I did all that, huh?

Well, she certainly seems more grumpy than normal today. Probably should go get her something nice to help with that, huh.

Oh, I know just the thing that can help her feel better.

Yeah, that should be helpful for sure.

"Open chat world, world of My Hero Academia, target [Toya Todoroki]."

With those words, my conscience vanished from where I was before. Instead, I showed up in what seemed like an alleyway. Looking around I searched for my target before I saw him and, oh boy does he look like shit.

His skin is all burned and blackement all over, he literally has piercings that SEEM to be for style but my gaze let me see they are to keep it all in place. Not only that, he clearly has been in a fight recently and is hurt in several places beside the burn marks.

And his eyes, they were exactly the same as one could expect from a wounded cat instead of a person. If he was not little more than an amalgamation of all that went wrong in the Todoroki house I would feel pity for him.

Oh well, another symptom of the flaw is the My Hero Academia world.

"What are you looking at? Want to die as well?" Toya said with a glare as I snorted.

"Please, you are not even in the top 20 of the people who scare or can kill me." I told him, causing his glare to intensify. "I came to make a deal with you, one that you will appreciate."

"Not interested."

"Even if it means healing you and taking away the quirk you got from daddy dearest and giving you another power that would still allow you to take your revenge?" I question, wondering if the kid would be this daft.

He just snorts at that.

"You seem to be lacking in the brain, so let me make this clear for you. Fuck. Off."

And with that he used his quirk on me, to no effect obviously.

This kid is… sigh let's just ask him something else then. Taking out my phone I take a picture of him as soon as he stops blasting his fire in my direction.

"The hell? Is your quirk to be immune to fire?"

"Nah, I don't have a quirk, but I do have the ability to make trades with others. For instance, how about you let me know your location at any time in exchange for me not to bother you anymore."

"Humph, and why should I agree to let that happen?" He asks, not believing me at all.

"Simple, it is either that or I will visit you daily with a loudspeaker shouting 'Killer here, come get it if you are a hero'. Pretty sure that would ruin your peaceful time of dumpster diving for clothes." I said cheekily, causing him to scowl at me.

"You know what, sure I accept your deal now get the hell out of my life." Toya said and, in the distance, I heard movement. It seems that someone noticed the jets of blue fire that were coming out of this alleway.

Well, a deal was a deal. Not being able to stick around I was thrown back into my world. At least now I can detect where that prick is, pretty sure I can make use of this, but first I still want my gift to Ravel (and assurance she would be strong enough to reincarnate me as a Queen Piece after I became a hero), so I went to the best next thing.

"Open chat world, world of My Hero Academia, target [All For One]."

Soon, I was in a dark basement in the middle of who knows where and a man dressed in a suit and with an iron mask was sitting down in what looks like a throne while petting a… is that a cat nomu?

Sheesh, and here I thought he could not find a way to be any more corny.

"Oh, what is this? A visitor coming to slay the demon king?" He says and I feel a headache just hearing this nonsense.

Rubbing the bridge of my nose I say.

"You DO know you are not, you know, a demon, right? I have seen actual demons, or at least devils, and you are so far below one of their kings that it is not even funny." I told the man and it is entirely true.

The actual 'kings' in the Underworld would be like the Satans, Zekran, Diehauser, people like that who can clap AFO in moments if they bother to try.

The man stops and I can almost hear his smirk (again, iron mask) as he says.

"Oh, so are you one such being?"

"Not yet, I will actually become a devil in a few minutes, actually." I told him and he froze.

What an overdramatic guy.

"... You are telling the truth. Just who are you?" He asks in doubt and interest as well as a hint of fear.

"Just an interdimensional merchant trying to get a gift for someone else. I came over to say hello as I believe the both of us can be of help to one another and, to prove it, I can offer you one of two things. Ten years of lifespan, or a chance to heal your injuries."

The man looks at me pensive as he mutters.

"Interesting. I am using several lie detections quirks on you, but none indicate any lies. You either completely believe this nonsense, or you really can do as you said. In either case, let us test it." All For One says as he snaps his fingers over dramatically and, from beside him, a short man with a mustache and bald head appears.

"Eh, what is happening? Did some emergency occur while I was alway?" The doctor questions as he looks around.

AFO answers calmly.

"It seems we are having an interesting day. We have here a new piece on the board who has come to me for a deal. He claims he is from another world, and I want to verify if he is telling the truth and have you help me analyze if what he will be doing is harmful or not."

The doctor turns to me and I snarl at him.

"Don't even think of studying me, you piece of shit."

"Oho, that is a lot of hostility to me helper here." AFO says and I just look at him before answering.

"Your whole world disgusts me, you and the government controlling the sheep they call heroes are all equally bad in my eyes, but I cross the line in child experimenting like I know you did with that child of Endeavor and others." I tell them directly. "I am only trading with you shit lot because you can offer me much more than the heroes would ever do, and as far as I can see your way of 'ruling' would not lead to much. At best you'd prance about in your 'I am a villain' way and not get much of anything out of it. Heck, I am sure you'd end up just like Megamind."

Neither says anything at my words, so I just sigh and say.

"This is purely professional, I can backstab you at any time just like you can try to do the same. This is all just business from beginning to end. You get me stuff I want, and I provide you with things you would love to know, like information on a certain group that is either developing or has developed a bullet that can completely destroy all of your powers, which would turn you into… a cripple."

At the words cripple the man's bloodlust exploded, clearly furious at the mere idea of such a fate for himself.

Sorry Overhaul, I may just be sending this self proclaimed demon king after your ass… then again, fuck you Overhaul you shitstain.

I just stand there waiting for him to calm down before he speaks up.

"... I see. I believe such information will not come cheap."

"It won't, obviously. But that is for another day, right now it is about you testing what I can offer so we do a trade." I say before I approach him and say. "First, remove your helmet. And do not worry, I will not hurt you at this time."

The man doesn't say anything for a few moments before he puts his hands on his helmet and removes it. The doctor starts to squirm around, probably because his injuries are quite serious and he can't survive for that long without his helmet or any help.

I do not care as I bring out my trump card. In the middle fingers of both my hands a greed ring appears, it shone around it as I put them near his face and I feel my magic energy being used by the Twilight Healing that originally belongs to Asia but, as she is my property, I can use just as much.

The man shudders as the light stays in his face, the scaring starting to lessen as two holes appear. Now his looks more like Nemesis instead of what it was before, meaning he can now at least breath properly without the need of an assistant breather;

When I see this I stop and take a step back.

"My offer is simple. I can lend you this power for a day, enough time for you to fully heal your face and any other internal injuries you may still have and, in exchange, I want a few quirks you possess."

"DEAL!" The man agrees instantly with no hesitation.

I smile hearing this, now I just need to get from Ravel a Phenex Tear later and exchange it with someone who'd do anything for All Might (A.K.A. All Might's former sidekick Sir Nighteye) and I can just watch as the fireworks explode when the fighting between the chuunibyou old man and the has been public face of the government happens all over again.

Overall, it is a win no matter what for me.

Funnily enough AFO even makes a list of quirks he has and gives it to me to pick and choose freely. This will be fun.
