Gasp! I'm back within a reasonably short time frame from the last chapter! This must be a sign of the apocalypse!
Well, whatever. I'm here, I'm writing, deal with it. (Actually I really hope you keep enjoying the story)
This chapter will see a change in how I frame different types and sources of speech from previous chapters, for the sake of clarity and for framing for future chapters, changes [
But! Before that, I'd like to thank Tyric Gaia for their continued support of myself and the story! If you too wish to support me, you can do so at ' Pat reon -dot- com -slash- Francogamerxz ' .
As I said in previous chapters, any type of support is, while not at all mandatory - freedom of choice and such, especially since I'm really no-one's boss - fully appreciated, be it monetary support, be it a like, follow, review, spreading awareness of the story, or even just a kind word of support, or a bit of constructive criticism!
Now, onwards!

"EHHHHH!"
"EHHHHH!"
Issei, Aika and Akeno were forced to cover their ears at Motohama and Matsuda's loud shouts.
"YOU'RE LIVING ON YOUR OWN!?"
"YOU'RE LIVING ON YOUR OWN!?"
"I'm really starting to regret having told you guys this."
Akeno turned towards Issei, making use of Motohama and Matsuda's apparent speechlessness to speak up.
"What made this happen? Were you kicked out by your parents or something?"
"Nah," Issei said while carelessly waving the thought away, "I decided that I wanted a bit more of space and independence, so I found myself an appartment to live in."
Akeno seemed mollified by that, while Aika nudged Issei with her elbow repeatedly, her eyebrows wiggling as she spoke.
"So you have yourself a bachelor pad all ready to accommodate you and any girl you take over for displays of perversion and debauchery? Have you done so already? Does your room look like a Jackson Pollock painting under dark light already?"
Aika's question had the two other members of the Perverted Sage Trio leaning forward, their eyes showing eagerness akin to that of apostles waiting to receive the word of their lord, while Akeno only chuckled behind her sleeve.
The brunet shrugged lightly, his tone light as he spoke.
"Not yet. Haven't really broken in the bed. Or the couch. Or the bathtub. Or the dinnertable. Or the floor. Or the-..."
Motohama, Matsuda eyes widened with each added word, while Aika scrabbled to pull up her notebook, hurriedly taking down each of Issei's words, a perverted giggle bubbling forth from her chest.
"-then you spread a bit of whipped cream on the-"
Akeno gasped, the red blush currently streaking across her nose covered by her sleeve, which also worked to suppress her increasingly heavy breathing.
"-and the rubber ducky bounces off the ceiling fan-"
Aika's hand was more blur than flesh by now, even as her own eyes and mouth widened and widened, matching the perverted baldy's and the three size scouter's. Akeno was just barely succeeding in keeping her sleeve up, hiding the fact that her face was mirroring theirs.
"-and if the lube is strawberry-scented, then you-"
Somewhere far away from Kuoh, a black-haired fallen with blond bangs and a goatee felt a sudden tear rolling down his right cheek, his hand reflexively going towards it.
"Azazel," Penemue, one of his companions, spoke, "Are you alright?"
Rubbing the corner of his eye and staring curiously at the water that had gathered on his finger, Azazel ignored his fellow Grigori leaders' concern for him as he spoke.
"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel really happy. As if someone was telling a fantastic story of their ascencion from boy to man... But don't mind me, and do go on."
All of the other leaders stared at Azazel as if he were the weirdest existence in the world, before Penemue went back to her speech.
"-our response to the proposal was to send an agent of ours..."
'I don't know who or where you are,' Azazel thought, 'But I will find you, and I will buy you a drink, in accordance to the teachings of the Broble. In the name of the Bro, the brother and the brodie spirit, Bromen.'
"-and that's when you use the stool and the banana peel."
Aika's pencil was worn almost to the extreme, Akeno's chuckles had all but created a menacing cloud around her - one that the others were instinctly shying away from - and Motohama and Matsuda were simply staring at Issei, dumfounded.
Matsuda was the first one to recover from his stunned state, his tone half-questioning, hal-disbelieving as he spoke.
"I-is that even possible? Is that something humans can do?"
"Anyone can do it," Issei said while shrugging, "If they stretch properly beforehand."
After discreetly wiping the trail of drool running down the side of her mouth, Akeno spoke up.
"You say that like someone with first-hand experience in this particular... Act."
"Well, it turns out," Issei started, "That I have first-hand experience in a variety of acts."
"I wonder..." Aika spoke up, her pencil still running across the notebook in an approximation of a printer's activity, "How many types of sex have you had before?"
"...How many pieces of bread have you eaten in your life?"
"!"
The collective response to Issei's statement was of impressed - breathless, in the girls' cases - surprise. Regaining his breath, Matsuda spoke.
"What did fuck did you do during the break?"
"What didn't I do during the break?"
The bell rung before anyone else could say a thing, prompting Issei to speedwalk back towards the school building, his smirk unnoticed by his friends.
Aika, Akeno and Motohama followed after silently after him, while Matsuda grumbled under his breath.
"That only raises more questions!"
"So, Issei..."
The small group - sans Akeno, who was absent due to club activities - turned towards Aika. The brunet raised an eyebrow questioningly, prompting Aika to continue.
"When are you going to show us your place?"
Issei paused for a second, his hand going to his chin as he thought for a while, parsing out his mental schedule, before speaking up.
"Well, I don't really have much to do for a good while. I finished unpacking and organizing my place already, laundry's done, everything is washed and clean, and I only have to go to work later on tonight... I guess I could show my place to you guys right now, if you want?"
Aika nodded immediately, while Motohama and Matsuda took the time to look at one-another, then at Issei, then back at one-another. The two seemed to be having a small conversation, before turning back towards the other two, Motohama acting as the spokesman for them.
"Me and Matsuda have EroSoft's newest game to get through, so we can't really go today." Motohama shrugged as Matsuda nodded in agreement. "You'll have to show us some other time."
"EroSoft's newest game? You mean 'Extradimensional Soft Girl Puri-cyan'?" Issei whistled at the simultaneous nod from his friends. "I heard it was really well-received, both amongst long-term fans of EroSoft's previous works, and by new players. You'll have to lend it to me after you guys are through with it."
The brunet turned towards Aika at that.
"Guess it's just you and me today."
Having said that, he walked off, moving towards the subway station while waving Motohama and Matsuda off above his head, Aika keeping pace beside him.
Motohama stared at Issei's back, an instense feeling rising from his chest at the sight. His arm shot up into a military salute, tears streaming copiously down his face.
'Go forth, old friend, into the realm beyond that which is achievable by us mere mortal men. Godspeed, Issei.'
He snuck a look at Matsuda through the corner of his eye, his body unwilling to break the salute towards their friend - his back still looking unbelievably wide even as a distant speck -only to see his own salute mirrored. The gaze of the two boys met, and they knew at that moment that their thoughts were in perfect synchronicity for that one moment.
Many of the other boys that had been hanging around the gates of Kuoh academy, while not as vehement in their congratulation towards Issei, still gave his shadowed form a respectful nod.
"Welcome to 'The Dragon's Den'!"
Aika, after leaving her shoes at the rack beside the door, took the time to look around Issei's place, ignoring the way his last three words seemed to resonate within her very bones.
The girl wandered slightly around the living room, her fingers gliding along the spines of various books that had been placed along the wall-mounted shelves.
"This place looks way more normal than I expected it to be."
Issei shrugged at that, plopping himself onto his comfortable couch and resting his head against the backrest, his eyes closed as he spoke.
"My budget isn't still at the point where I can install a sex swing or two in the living room, but just give it time."
Even with his eyes closed, Issei could almost physically feel the raised eyebrow Aika had directed at him.
"That was sarcasm just now, wasn't it?"
A small smirk made itself visible on Issei's face, his tone teasing as he spoke.
"Who knows?"
Aika rolled her eyes at that, allowing herself to fall beside Issei on the couch - just barely keeping herself from melting into a boneless mass at the level of softness underneath her - and speaking up.
"If it were someone else saying it I'd easily figure it out, but you have the shamelessness to say something like that and really mean it, so I can't be really sure."
Issei snorted at that, before the two collapsed into a comfortable silence.
"I talked to Lilith."
One of Issei's eyebrows lightly rose at that, an amber gaze settling on Aika as he responded.
"Really?"
"Mhm."
The two collapsed into another silence, before Issei spoke up.
"What did the two of you talk abo-!"
He was interrupted by Aika, who had just planted herself atop his lap, each of her legs to one side of him, her short skirt only barely hiding her inner thighs and beyond from view. Issei raised his head from the backrest, both of his eyes open and focusing fully on the blushing visage of Aika with a level of intensity that almost left the girl breathless.
The girl ran a finger across Issei's jaw before going down his neck.
"We talked about the possibility of my joining this collective you guys seem to be running."
Issei placed a hand on each of Aika's hips, his voice deepening into a slight purr as he spoke.
"And what did she say about it?"
Aika shivered in place, the red tint across her nose and cheeks spreading down slightly towards her chest. Ignoring all of these things, she answered Issei's question.
"She said that I had to show that I truly wanted to be a part of this. That I had to show you in a very... Direct... Manner."
Issei leaned his body forward, his forehead resting against Aika's and his lips a mere hair's breadth away from hers as he spoke.
"Are you going to?"
The girl responded by all but attacking his mouth, her teeth nipping at his lower lip even as she tried rocking back and forth across his lap, her progress halted - rather frustratingly - by Issei's strong hands.
His tone was strong, yet full of a burning want, as he next spoke up.
"I want you to think well about what you're going to do next, Aika. If we keep going on, we'll end up doing something irrevocable, and I'll grow even more attached to you than I already am. I won't want to let you go away, and I'll want you to become my woman in all ways that matter." He tightened his grip on the girl's hips, before all but growling at her. "If we do this, you will be mine, now and forever."
Aika placed her hands atop Issei's at that, pulling them off and getting back up to her feet, under focus by his intense eyes. Ignoring the way his very gaze caused her skin to tingle and break out into goosebumps, Aika reached behind her, fiddling with something out of Issei's view, before her skirt fell down her legs, revealing a pair of racy, silky, red panties.
Meeting Issei's gaze with her own, the girl sealed her fate with two simple words.
"Take me."
Issei responded by patting his thighs, prompting the now skirtless Aika to climb back over his lap. He placed his hands back over her hips, but, unlike before where he used them to halt her motions, he used them to aid Aika's grinding against his pants-clad bulge, the two of them ignoring the way that their clothes were getting drenched in the glasses-clad girl's juices to mantain eye contact.
Issei then leaned forward, his mouth all but engulfing Aika's in a possessive mimicry of a regular kiss. Aika could only react by moaning into Issei's mouth, feeling as if she were gradually being engulfed by a dangerous beast - and enjoying every second of it.
She reached down to unbutton her corset, easily allowing Issei to pull off her shoulder cape, before the two carelessly tossed the pieces of clothing onto the coffee table behind them.
She started reaching down for her shirt's buttons, only to squeak in surprise as Issei grabbed it at the back and pulled, causing all of the buttons to spray out and away from her, leaving her clad in only her underwear.
"That~" She panted into Issei's neck, "Was the only shirt I had on my person."
Issei grunted at that, single-handedly unclasping her equally lacy, equally racy, red bra while his other hand went down Aika's back, tracing the clear, smooth skin and settling on her posterior.
"I'll give you one of mine, they're too tight anyways."
The girl looked up at Issei at that.
"What do you mean too-"
She was interrupted when Issei Flexed, causing the overstressed, undersized shirt he had been wearing at the moment - identical to all of his other shirts - to simply tear apart, baring to Aika a set of muscles she hadn't seen since the swimming club's attempt at recruiting the brunet.
She allowed her eyes to drink in the magnificent sight before a particularly harsh move from Issei ground her panty-clad clitoris against the bulge showing against his trousers, causing her to shudder, her hands tightening on his shoulders hard enough for her fingernails to leave light indents against the skin.
"I'm sick of being this overdressed."
Issei proceeded to wrap an arm around Aika's waist and lifting her with that single arm, the act of strength mixed with the visible flexing and shifting of muscles against skin on his arm causing the girl to have to bite back a groan, before her eyes went back down, registering the sight of him dextrously unbuttoning his trousers, before raising himself slightly from the couch so that he could pull them down, and off.
Aika's already inflamed lust only grew more at the sight of Issei's bulging member being held back by a visibly strained pair of boxers - and were those purple wisps on the ellastic band? - causing her to bit her lower lip.
She did not quite manage to bite back her groan when her hot, wet kitten fell atop Issei's member, the thin layers of fabric between them allowing her to feel it's pulsing, throbbing hardness against her core.
The brunet kept up the grinding motion even as his mouth started nipping at Aika's neck, before slowly trailing down her skin.
"Ah~"
The girl gasped when she felt Issei's lips reach the top of her breasts, before a seemingly longer-than-average tongue ran down an unmarred breast, circling around a light pink areola, before rapidly flicking her hardenned nipple, the slick trail of saliva left behind feeling both warm and cool against her skin, like cold lava, if such a thing were possible.
Aika's moans petered out into short gasps as she felt herself come closer and closer to release and Issei, noticing thing, proceeded to fully engulf the girl's nipple, even as he sped up their mutual grinding, seemingly uncaring of the large puddle of slick that had run down and across his thighs and onto his couch.
"Ah... Ise... I'm about to... HIYAN~"
The girl seized up for an instant, her body wracked by shudders as her core ejected more and more slickness, before she fell limply against Issei.
"That..." she said breathlessly and inbetween pants, "Was my strongest orgasm. Ever."
She pooled her strength together, straightening her back so she could meet Issei's gaze at an equal height. She lightly pecked the brunet before whispering against his lips.
"Thank you..."
She then reached below herself, her fingers trying their best to wrap around the fleshy, boxer-clad bulge, as she spoke.
"It's my turn to make you feel good, Ise."
The brunet complied with the girl's wishes for now, releasing her hips and allowing her to climb down from his lap. She went down to her knees in front of him, which put her at face-level with Issei Jr., before reaching below him for the boxers' ellastic band and pulling, causing Issei's previously trapped cock to spring to freedom, the monolithic pillar of flesh defiantly pointing upwards, as if the lust fueling it was enough to pierce the heavens themselves.
She did her best to wrap one of her hands around the fleshy pole - not noticing the fact that she had reflexively licked her lips at the sight of the purplish head - mentally noting the fact that she could feel Issei's heartbeath through the pulsing member. Keeping that thought to the back of her mind, Aika pulled the member down towards her mouth, giving the crown a soft peck before allowing her tongue to glide against the slit, which was by now releasing a noticeable amount of clear-colored fluid.
She started slowly stroking her partner - soon to be lover's - cock, noticing the fact that her own juices had slicked things up enough that she didn't even require any lubrication to mitigate friction.
Despite this lack of need of lubrication, Aika still allowed more of Issei's meat to slip into her mouth, relishing the hiss he released when she pressed her flattened tongue against the underside of his head, and the way that he placed both of his hands atop her head, yet allowed her to progress at her own pace, as if telling her 'I can have you at any pace I want, but I'll let you explore'. Feeling as if her pride had just been challenged, Aika started slowly going down Issei's cock, her lips and tongue leaving behind a trail of saliva against the member, only to stop somewhere along the middle, knowing that any attempt at going deeper would result in little more than causing her to gag.
Instead of trying to keep going, Aika started bobbing up and down the amount of flesh she was capable of successfully engulfing, all the while one of her hands stroked the remainder of Issei's cock, and the other softly played his his balls.
Issei grunted at Aika's ministrations, noticing that behind her utter lack of experience there existed a heavy amount of eagerness, and a healthy helping of natural talent. He softly caressed her hair with one hand, the other one clearing the tears that had built up at the corner of an eye when she took a particularly deep bob.
However, as everything else, all good things must reach an end. Issei, having been backed up ever since his return from Luxuria, felt the characteristic tightening of his testicles announced his imminent finish, prompting him to speak up.
"I'm close."
Aika heard Issei loud and clear and, rather than pull her mouth away as most others in her position as a first-timer would have done in an attempt at avoiding the end result of her ministrations, proceeded to double her speed, even as she shifted her hand's hold of Issei's twins, allowing her fingers to glide softly against the natural creases of his sack.
She felt his balls pulsing strongly once before drawing themselves up into his body, something which coincided with Issei's cry of "I'm coming!". Any mental preparations she had made for the moment was completely tossed aside at the veritable flood of sticky semen that flooded her mouth, forcing her to start swallowing rapidly.
Issei's balls kept pulsing within her hand, however, simultaneously as his cock jumped within her mouth, each of the simultaneous motions sending another blast of jism into her mouth, until the sheer volume became too much for her to keep swallowing, causing Aika to free the member from her mouth, only for it to paint her in white almost cheek-to-cheek.
She gave Issei's calming member a few last pumps to get him the most pleasure possible from this single ejaculation, before lightly slapping his tigh. Noticing that his focus was on her, Aika opened her mouth wide, revealing the fact that it was still almost full of semen, strings of it hanging from the roof of her mouth and small trails running down the corners of her lips. She then procceeded to gulp it all down.
She smacked her lips, her face creasing down softly as she analyzed the load she had just eaten.
"It tastes... Good. It was supposed to be salty, according to everything I've read before, or maybe even slightly bitter."
Issei, allowing his hand to keep softly petting Aika's head, snorted before speaking up.
"I've got a particularly healthy diet, and I eat a lot of pineapple."
"I'll say," the girl said wryly, her index finger scraping off a thick clump of goopy semen from her cheek before bringing it closer to her eyes for better observation. "You can just see the health in this load. I swear, I've seen bukakke scenes with less cum than what you just released. It's a real pity, though."
"What is?"
"I wanted us to go all the way today, but after a load like this, you'll probably..."
The girl trailed off incredulously, her mouth opening widely at the sight of Issei's cock slowly perking back up into full hardness, as if it hadn't just released a motherlode all over her face.
She turned her incredulous gaze from Issei's cock to Issei himself, only to be met with a confident, amused look in return, Issei's tone smug as he spoke.
"Hoh? Did you, by any chance, believe me to have been done?"
"W-what? B-but... Are you... Is this even possible?"
Issei shrugged at Aika, responding to he sputtering questions in a casual tone.
"Do you think your eyes are lying to you?"
Her temporary speechlessness was replaced with a surprised shriek when Issei hoisted her over his shoulder.
The brunet kicked the boxers that had been hanging around his right ankle off, before standing up from the couch he had been sitting on and walking towards his bedroom, his cock bobbing ahead of him as if it were the one dictating their path - it might as well have been, anyways.
Aika, who had been stuck staring at the state they had left the living room - the couch, to be more specific - suddenly found herself being flung against a very big, very soft bed, while Issei stood above her, his figure reminding her of a marble statue from how cut and well-defined he was. The fact that he had various droplets of sweat running down his body only added to the effect, causing Aika to bite her lower lip as her lust inflamed to levels even higher than before.
She watched as Issei climbed atop his very large bed, walking on his knees towards her. He reached her legs and started climbing higher, only to stop at waist-level, his hands reaching for the waistband of her panties before slowly pulling them down, revealing her pink, juicy, slightly fuzzy snatch.
Aika had no real warning before she felt the brunet diving into her folds, his fingers, lips and tongue enthusiastically exploring every nook and cranny of her most intimate of places, coaxing a series of pleasured moans from her.
She felt him prod at her opening with a fingertip, said fingertip's intrusion coinciding with the flick his tongue gave her clit, causing her to shudder and gasp at the wave of pleasure that hit her.
Issei kept flicking her clitoris to and fro with his tongue, even as he added a second fingertip to her hole, before allowing them to go slightly deeper into her, causing her juices to flood all over his hand. He felt her walls slowly contracting and relaxing simultaneously with her needy pants, prompting him to pull back his fingers.
"Why'd you sto-oh!"
Aika felt the bulbous tip resting just outside of her opening, her gaze meeting Issei's as he spoke.
"Remember what I told you, Aika. This is your last shot at backing out. Otherwise, you're mine. For good."
The girl responded by wrapping her arms around Issei's neck, locking her legs around his waist and hugging him close so that her lips were right next to his ears.
"Take. Me."
Issei's response to her request was to slowly inch himself downwards, allowing his fleshy spear to split Aika's folds and slowly sink into her soft, warm, absolutely drenched flesh, stopping at her gasp when he reached a certain barrier.
Biting her lip, Aika allowed her suddenly tense body to relax as much as possible, before nodding into Issei's shoulder, her eyes tearing up as he pushed through her maidenhead, doing away with it altogether.
"Congratulations for graduating into adulthood, my Aika."
Having said that, Issei slowly pulled back before sinking a bit deeper than before, causing the girl to grunt in slight discomfort. He did so again, and again, and again, slowly thrusting in and out with increasing depth until Aika's discomfort faded completely into the background, replaced by a small, intense burst of pleasure, which was followed upon by milder, yet constant ones.
"I'm alright," Aika breathed into Issei's ear, "You can go faster."
After she said that, Issei pulled back until only the very crown of his member was inside...
"HNNG!"
Before sheathing his full length inside of her, his groin smacking against her butt with a noisy clap.
"Oh... I feel so full..."
Aika's fingernails dug into Issei's shoulderblades and back, leaving behind slightly reddened trails as he slowly pulled away from her.
"!"
Soon enough, the brunet was thrusting into and out of Aika's depths at such a fast and hard pace that his hips were all but a blur, causing the girl to fill his bedroom with shrieks, grunts and moans better suited for the production of an adult movie.
"OH! AH! YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS! YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS! FILL ME UP, YOU BASTARD! USE THAT MONSTER YOU CALL A COCK AND ABSOLUTELY RUIN MY CUNT! RESHAPE IT! MAKE IT YOURS! DO IIIIIIIIITTTTT!"
Issei ignored the way her strength crossed over into the supernatural treshold as she spoke, and the feeling of Tantric Energy flooding his room, to focus completely on making absolutely sure that Aika was ruined for any other man.
He relegated the surprise at Aika's fingernails' ability to pierce his skin and draw blood to a corner of his brain, focusing instead on biting into her collarbone, drawing a lustful shriek from her even as he further marked her as his.
"I'M GONNA... I'M GONNA... I'M GONNA... AIYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Issei ignored the fact that Aika's banshee-like shrieks were likely being heard as far as across the street from his apartment block, focusing only on the fact that her wet core tightened around him like a vise, it's spasms and contractions around him feeling as if her body was trying it's absolute best to coax a load out of him. He responded in kind.
A single, gruff grunt next to her ear was all the warning Aika had before she felt herself being filled up. Even though she knew it was a physical impossibility, she almost allowed herself to believe that she had been pumped full of burning magma from how warm Issei's cum felt flowing within her.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
An explosive orgasm, more intense than any other she had felt during this whole day, suddenly made itself known right at the tail end of her previous one, pushing her to further depths of pleasure than she knew existed.
By the time this last orgasm petered out, Aika was lying limply on the bed underneath Issei, her glazed eyes barely registering the sight of him withdrawing his wet member from her hot hole, before he tossed himself beside her, drawing her into a tight hug.
"Mine."
The girl smiled goofily at that, her blissed-out mind responding on it's own.
"Yours."
The two rested for a while, recovering from their mutual pleasure, until Issei spoke up sardonically.
"We didn't use a condom."
The girl hummed happily, enjoying the sight of the white things that still lingered behind her eyelids, making themselves visible every time she blinked.
"I came inside of you."
Aika reached down, her fingers dipping into the puddle of jism flowing from her previously virgin hole and bringing them up next to her face, playing with it.
"Mhm, you did."
"We used no protection."
Aika's brain had recovered a bit more by now, enough for her to actually be cognizant and to participate in a conversation.
"You used no protection."
Seeing Issei's questioning - and quite hopeful - gaze, Aika elaborated.
"Ever since my talk with Lilith, I've been on the pill. I wasn't sure when I was going to make a move on you, but I prepared for it regardless." The girl giggled at the obviously relieved look on Issei's face as she kept talking.
"As much as the though of your strong, sweaty body climbing atop of me, forcing me into a mating press before pumping me full of your hot cum, breeding me like as much as a wild beast-" Issei pushed the image those words elicited aside in order to keep Issei Jr. from doing anything more than twitch, knowing that Aika's body likely wasn't capable of taking any more for a bit, "-makes me all hot and bothered, I believe that I am still too young to be a mother, or you a father."
"You are absolutely and completely correct, my Ai-chan."
Issei chuckled at the girl's blush, pecking the tip of her nose before stretching and getting back to his feet.
"I'll take a quick shower first, and run down to the laundromat to give your clothes a quick wash. I'll wake you up when I'm done so you can clean up as well."
Aika gave Issei a thumbs up before turning over onto her side and falling fast asleep.
A quick shower and a set of casual clothes later, Issei had a basket full of laundry under his arm. As soon as he stepped out of his apartment he met up with his neighbour, Yuuma.
"Oh hello there neighbour!"
Yuuma flinched at Issei's greeting, giving him a sheepish smile as she spoke.
"Hello..." She seemed to be having an internal debate before speaking up, a massive blush completely covering her face. "You two were really... Noisy. I think the whole complex heard you two."
Chuckling lightly, Issei rubbed the back of his head as he spoke casually.
"Yeah, we got a bit intense back there. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a load to take care of. By which I mean laundry. See you around!"
And having said that, Issei cheerily made his way downstairs towards the apartment complex's basement, where the various washing and drying machines were located.
'Amano Yuuma', better known by her true name of Raynare, allowed her 'shy, sheepish smile' to fade as soon as Issei went beyond the stairs, a sneer marring her face even as she she entered her room.
'A cocky guy like him genuinely making a girl scream like that? I don't think so. For a girl to go as far as to say the things his partner did, either the guy has to be some sort of super-experienced playboy, which I doubt someone his age can be, or she must have been faking it.' Her sneer turned into a smirk as she spoke. 'The girl was a hell of an actress, though, to scream the way she did, with so much emotion it almost sounded real. She should know that doing this sort of thing to bolster her boyfriend's ego will eventually lead to him developing into a shit lay, though. Oh well, live and learn and all that jazz.'
Oh, if only Raynare knew how wrong, yet how right, she was.
A grinning Aika happily waddled alongside her smiling boyfriend/lover, her arms wrapped around his own for support as much as for a display of affection, as he, now in his work uniform, escorted her, who was clad in a boy's long-sleeved button down mixed with the rest of her Kuoh uniform, towards the residential area of the more affluent side of Kuoh.
"We have to do this again!" The glasses-clad girl said with excitment, only to wince as she accidentally took a particularly long step. "After I stop feeling like I got torn in half, of course."
Issei laughed good-naturedly at that, his free hand patting Aika's head.
"Do it enough times and you'll get used to it eventually. Until then you'll have to settle for some painkillers, an anti-inflammatory ointment and bed rest."
The girl smiled wickedly at Issei as she spoke.
"I just hope I don't get addicted to all the-" She stared another teenage girl that had been switching between looking at her scandalously and Issei appraisingly in the eye as she spoke in a deliberately higher volume, "-ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWING ORGASMS YOU CAN GIVE A GIRL! BETWEEN YOUR MASSIVE COCK, YOUR STAMINA AND YOUR PENCHANT FOR SMASHING ALL OF THE RIGHT SPOTS, IT ISN'T JUST ANY RANDOM BITCH ON THE STREET THAT CAN TAKE YOU!"
Issei watched with an amused smile as the other girl - and pretty much everyone else around them at that moment - blushed a deep red, shooting the two of them scandalized looks before increasing their pace. He turned a questioning gaze towards Aika, receiving a shrug in response.
"It was pretty bold of that girl to so obviously check you out when you're walking right next to your visibly waddling lover. I wanted to see how far her boldness went."
The brunet's smile widened slightly, his tone amused as he spoke.
"Never change, Aika."
The two of them collapsed into silence, walking past a series of increasingly larger houses, before Issei found himself being pulled into a halt by Aika. He stared at the home they had stopped in front of, before turning his gaze towards Aika. Then the home. Then Aika. Then the home. Then Aika again.
"When you said your family was well-off, I didn't expect it to be 'living in a massive mansion'-level of well-off."
"Does that bother you?"
"Not really. Just surprised. Rich girls aren't usually very down-to-earth." Issei smirked slightly at his next though, "Brosus knows Lilith has her fair share of 'princess'-moments if you spend enough time around her."
Aika chuckled amusedly alongside Issei, before the two collapsed back into silence.
"Do you want me to walk you in, or..."
"No, no, I'm alright." The glasses-clad girl went onto her tip-toes so she could give Issei a peck on the lips, before waddling towards the large gates that separated her home from the rest of the area and pressing the doorbell, her face placed right in front of the camera.
Issei watched incredulously as a golf cart rode down from outside of view, likely from the back of the property, being driven by a grey-haired, grey-bearder, glasses-clad butler.
The cart stopped in front of the large gates - gates which procceeded to open on their own - before the driver spoke up.
"Welcome back, young lady Kiryuu."
"I've already told you before, Kinben, you can use my first name."
"And I have too told you, young lady Kiryuu, that I, the measly and insignificant Majimena Kinben, respectfully refuse to be so casual towards my esteemed employers. I have worked diligently for the Kiryuu family for over 40 years already without breaking protocol a single time. I do not intend to throw this record away so easily, young lady Kiryuu."
"Alright, fine!" Aika said as she sat down on the backseat of the golf cart, pretending not to have noticed the glare Kinben had shot at an utterly amused Issei at her wince, before speaking up again. "Is anyone else home yet?"
"Master and Mistress Kiryuu have yet to return from their business trip, but the older young lady Kiryuu has already returned from her musical instruction."
"So only nee-chan again, huh..."
Aika turned back towards Issei, smiling softly at him as she spoke.
"Bye-bye, lover-boy! See you tomorrow at school!"
She then signaled her butler to drive, waving at him until he stopped being visible.
Issei, for his part, could only stare half-bemusedly at the sight of the massive gates slowly drawing themselves closed right in front of his face.
"Huh. So that was a thing."
Shrugging off the oddity of the situation, Issei turned in a different direction even as he withdrew his phone - a recent purchase - from his pocket and dialed his work.
"You have called 'The Hammered Dwarf', Andre speaking."
"Hey boss, it's me, Issei. I'm just calling to make sure that everything is going fine even in my absence, and that you won't be needing my help today."
"You gave me the warning quite a few days ago, I managed to get Ginei to help cover for you today. Why did you choose to use a day off so suddenly anyways, when you were plenty happy squeezing as much coin from each workday as possible?"
Issei reached into his pocket, withdrawing a certain something and reading it over. His tone was extremely grave as he spoke.
"I'll be paying 'Hageshi Katagi' a little visit, to talk to him about his... Warning..."
-To be Continued!-
Niiiiiice! Our boy Issei had been going without for a good while, and Aika seemed about ready to jump into the ship, so I decided to kill to birds with one stone in this chapter! It's crazy how Aika is uber rich, though. And Issei's going to meet up with 'Hageshi' in the next chapter... This shows promise, I believe!
However... I'd like you all to give me your opinions on this! The story in general, this chapter in specific, and the future!
Any opinion that consists of anything other than simple flames is very much welcome!
Anyways... Chapter over! Bye bye!
