Harem of the White Saint

by Kerlongsj Evert Orlejov

Request fic for keller.blair1. Issei unlocked his [Sacred Gear], Divine Dividing on a young age and from a young age, he has been working for the Vatican as part-time exorcist. Fed up with the hypocrisy and decadence, he leaves Rome for a place he called home. Kuoh, which seemed to have become a hot spot for Super Natural Creatures. Perfect spot for a Dragon to build his harem.

8. Agreements and parties

In the halls of the Underworld, some would expect to hear the shouts and cries of the Damned.

There were cries and shouts though, particularly coming from one bedroom. But those were not from the Damned but from one in pure ecstasy. Laying on the bed, Grayfia Lucifuge laid down while she felt Sirzechs Lucifer between her legs, playing with her pussy and licking off the excess.

"Zechs, oh, Maou. Please, like that. Oh, fuck, right there."

The amount of profanity did not fit in with the Ultimate [Queen] but in the bedroom of her lover, she could shout and curse as much as she desired. Which as she did now, was quite the vocabulary while she sat back and let her [King] play with her as she wanted.

The right hand of Sirzechs was gently teasing the left breast of Grayfia, cupping the soft flesh and teasing the nipple in between. Her left fingers were helping the mouth of Sirzechs when she was going down on her [Queen].

"Delicious, Fia. Didn't I tell you that I have been practicing?"

Grayfia would have loved to reprimand and tell her lover off but found that mind-blowing orgasms were a better focus on her and let Sirzechs do whatever she wanted.

So there was not exactly a coherent answer but just lustful moans, eager shouts, and cries for more. Sirzechs saw no reason not to stop the onslaught of her lovemaking.

It was for the longer part of both their lives that Sirzechs Lucifer had entered a relationship with her [Queen].

It came as a secret for many in the outside world and completely not as a surprise for her family.

Sirzechs had a certain degree of luck that she was born in a world that was at war and where possessing monstrous amounts of power was seen as a plus point.

If she was born in a peaceful time or even now, she would have been labeled a freak due to her power.

That monstrous amount of power was a huge hindrance in finding a romantic partner. Given her focus on war and becoming a Maou, Sirzechs was not exactly open to finding romantic partners.

Her beauty, appeal, and high status didn't give her a low part of suitors.

(Un)fortunately, her powers kept most of them at bay. It had gotten to the point that Venelana complained that she would never have grandchildren from Sirzechs.

The mere idea of Lucifer submitting to anyone had been laughable at first and insulting later in her life.

Sirzechs had resigned herself to a life of duties, of upholding morals, and of a figurehead.

Only when Grayfia had crashed into her life, it was the emotion of love infused into her system.

Never in her life had Sirzechs Gremory desired something as much as Grayfia Lucifuge.

And it could be said that Grayfia had been much the same when she saw the Crimson Maou.

Due to their differences in the war, their meetings had been secret and it was only at the end that Grayfia had been taken in the house of Gremory.

The official story went that Sirzechs had taken her as a war prize.

The unofficial and true story was the fact that Sirzechs wanted to take Grayfia as his lover.

Devils had loose stances on anything that resembled relationships and morality but both women found out that the secret had to remain a secret. The scandal could have been enough to end her career as Lucifer.

Venelana Gremory had even been more depressed to find that her oldest daughter found love in the hands of another woman.

Meanwhile, Zeoticus had welcomed the relationship with open arms. He was at least relieved that his big girl had found a woman who could reign her crazy manners in.

From the end of the Devil Civil War until every evening, Sirzechs would drive Grayfia mad with frenzy as she would work her [Queen] and bring her to highs that Grayfia always reached.

Grayfia, who had never been with anyone, could not understand how much Sirzechs wanted her until the first night. There was so much that Sirzechs loved doing to her and testing out and all other experiments.

While she had always been the stalwart [Queen], keeping watch and making sure that Sirzechs was always delivering, it was Sirzechs who always pulled her to the bed.

Like now as she got up. There would be no toy tonight, just what nature gave them.

Grayfia blanched even further when she knew exactly what was going to happen.

Grabbing a shapely leg, and pressing upwards, both of their eager slits slid right next to each other with her [King] dictating the pace.

That would have been something that Grayfia was already over the edge but she knew that Sirzechs would not stop until she got her fill.

So Sirzechs continued to pump down her hips while she watched how her [Queen] began to shout even more.

"Zechs, please! It's enough!"

"Not for me." The Crimson Lucifer smirked and she pumped down even further.

"Just like that, Fia. Oh, fuck. That is the right spot." Their chests were pressing against each other, with all their sensitive spots, hitting the other while their minds went swimming.

Sirzechs had hoped she could fuck her wife all night long but there was a party planned where their little siblings (Sirzechs considered the Peerage members of her sister as her little siblings) went home, especially since the newest member of Issei Hyoudou around them.

So when Grayfia laid on the chest of Sirzechs, both still naked with their bodies rinsed in sweat, Grayfia usually fell asleep quickly but this time, she continued to lie awake while Sirzechs admired her work.

"You're distant, my love. Anything on your mind?"

The Maid looked up and in her eyes, Sirzechs could read something that made her question a lot of things.

"I have been thinking about what you said in the Clubroom."

Sirzechs chuckled when she remembered those words. Despite her tendency to goof off, she had a good read on people.

Grayfia approved of Issei Hyoudou.

"I didn't say that."

"The way that you looked at the match, made that all the clearer. I would say that he is a better choice than Riser Phenex."

The two older brothers of Riser had made their proposals but both found that Sirzechs was not be wed to them.

"I can't hardly believe that he is the same as Ruval. Where did they go wrong?"

Grayfia rolled her eyes when she smiled at her lover. Going above her lover, their chests tickled the others as she laid above them.

"I think he is not exactly the most suited for Rias-ojousama. Not to mention that the others in her Peerage seem to like the guy. Or could this be?"

The silverette figured out what Sirzechs was talking about.

"You like him, Fia. That much is clear. Despite how you talk and rant about him, it's very clear that you like the boy."

"Out of the question. That boy is nothing but rude, unserious, a braggart, and a player." Sirzechs tapped her on the face and smiled at her.

"It's amazing that you managed to pick that all up from so short. You seem to be noticing him a lot. I can say that I do like him. From what I have seen, he is a very capable boy of protecting my dear sister."

It was like Sirzechs was moving side to side when her hands cupped the cheeks that were burning.

Grayfia sighed when she watched her [King] below her, act like a love-struck girl when she was thinking about her crush.

"You are not saying that you have any sort of romantic feelings towards him."

Sirzechs' smile made Grayfia doubt her intentions.

"I will say that he is the first being that got me interested. Aside from you, Fia." When she cupped the face, the Crimson Maou rolled Grayfia over and got the Ultimate [Queen] to lay on her back and after a kiss, she pinned her lover.

"And you can say all you want but we both know what Dragons can do. I think that there is a lot of fun we can have, driving my sister and Akeno-chan up a wall when we make our intentions known."

Grayfia began to think about the stuff. If this Issei could match her lover, she could be claimed. It would be a small price to pay if the two could be together.

"If you put it like that. I'm just wondering what is the worst. Making them mad with jealousy and seeing that boy squirm. You win. But it'll be just pretend."

The growl in her ear made her spin arch and chicken bumps all over her body.

"We are not playing pretend. Both of us know that."

Issei had been wondering about the clothing of his choice but he decided to wear what he wore on Rias date to be in his suitcase. He wouldn't be gone for too long but traveling had to be done in a comfortable fashion.

A pair of jeans while his shirt had long sleeves and some comfortable running shoes. Rias had told him that they would have a new one for traveling.

"I wished that I would have seen you in that suit again." On his doorframe, Raynare leaned against it while Issei smirked.

She did not protest when her arm was pulled up and her face was cupped.

The proud Fallen Angel became putty in the hands of the Dragon when she shoved his tongue down her throat.

When he let her go, Raynare looked properly debauched and Issei smirked at her.

"It's not that easy to travel in and I prefer not to wear it when I don't have to. It's also for you that I am going down there."

Opening her wings, she enveloped Issei in those black feathers. She had learned that Issei liked to be around them and that even for his power, it made him at home.

"I know. What will you ask?"

Issei looked in her eyes and she could read his determined resolve in the eyes when she watched him.

"That you and your friends are safe in my house. Rias is also on board with you. She likes you enough and she knows that your help was invaluable during training."

There followed one tight hug in which she tried to feel the Dragon.

"I'll be back in three days. I'll be fine, Raynare." On the outside, he saw how Kalawarner had made lunch for him.

"I think you'd appreciate this bento." The Dragon smiled at her and when he got downstairs, there was another kiss on the lips.

"Thank you, Kalawarner. I wonder what we'll get to it but it'll be a taste from home."

Despite her fierce appearance, the bluenette was an excellent homemaker. Issei really appreciated that about her.

"You're welcome, Issei-sama. I'd also like to inform you that Mittelt has come home. She'll be hiding in her room."

His eyes flickered to the upstairs where blonde hair hid behind a desk and Issei smirked at the show.

"As long she is home. We'll deal with that later." There was another kiss and when Raynare came down from her stairs, she noticed they could have an early lunch.

"Thanks for this, Kala." The two Fallen looked at Issei who packed his lunch into his carry-on bag and when another kiss followed for the two, he heard a polite cough.

His head turned to see that Asia had dressed herself. The former Nun was wearing her habit as clothes to wear for a party.

That would not be appropriate for a party around Devils.

He did hope that Rias could foresee a formal dress for her or that she had something packed with her.

"Can't you two for two minutes keep your hands from my man?" There was a fake mock annoyance in her voice when she watched the three.

"He is as much your man as he is ours. We have a right to him as well, Asia-chan." Kalawarner replied while Issei gave Asia a big hug when he lifted her up.

"That is not something that I could agree with. But well, I know what I signed up for." There was a small suitcase that Asia carried while she stood before Issei.

"Spending the rest of your life with a delightful Dragon?" Issei joked which made Asia roll her eyes but when she leapt up, there was another kiss in which Asia growled for a change.

"I guess I have done so. I am a bit nervous for the party. But I have you and the others. I'll be fine."

Looking over at the Fallen Angels, there was some grateful smile.

"We'll be back in three days. Please keep my place in one piece, clean and intact. If you do, I'll reward you."

That was an incentive that was worth following.

And with that said, Issei and Asia left out of the house.

From the stairs, one small peek came from Mittelt as she finally relaxed when she heard that Issei was gone.

"Did he leave?"

Her more developed companions just smiled when they looked upstairs.

"There is no reason to be so scared. He doesn't think what you have done is that egregious." That was one expensive word that Raynare used.

"That school is paying off on you. But why are you two so peppy? Did he fuck your brains out?"

Neither Raynare nor Kalawarner were too embarrassed to admit that.

The smiles and wistful looks made that clear enough that both women had an extremely fun time with Issei.

"Oh, that is just great. You're his cock sleeves already. Did he see what he did to that Riser guy?"

Both of the women hoped that Issei could forgive the Lighting Spears but it was for his honor that threw the objects to Mittelt.

"Never call us that again." Raynare was seething with rage while Kalawarner was just as furious but just hid it better.

"We're his slaves, his possessions, and his lovers. Issei-sama would never call us that in public. Refer to him again like that and I'll kill you."

Mittelt didn't know what was worse. The fact that both were in love with him (an emotion as foreign for Fallen Angels as Lust for Angels) or the fact that Issei had tamed them.

She would only wait and see. And if it was wrong, that Issei killed her quick and clean.

The Dragon was not worried about his Love Nest back home.

There were times and places to worry about your home and the problems there. Right now, he was lying with his head on Rias' lap, looking up at her eyes while Koneko had curled up like a kitten and was sleeping on his lap.

Rias might not have guessed it but trains were his favorite mode of public transport. Airplanes came a close second while busses sat at the third.

Taking a train to hell gave a new meaning to "Hell's on Wheels". It was the official way to travel and for the Dragon, it was something he could live with.

Issei decided to take it easy on the ride but with four women that were into you, it was entertaining.

It was Rias, however, who got dibs on this.

The Dragon did make up for the idea that when they would go home Akeno could keep him in her lap.

Asia was cutely pouting while Kiba had an awkward chuckle when he watched his [King] act like a love-stricken schoolgirl.

He sat back and watched the outside.

There was the comfort of having thirty kilos of warm cat on your lap and stomach but Issei was more focused on Rias.

"Rias, just to be clear. I'm not just meeting your sister but also your parents. How did they take the news that I'm your new fiancée?"

Akeno giggled which made Issei turn to her while Rias' cheeks burned.

"Buchou's parents. Well, her father is beyond himself. They had hoped for this marriage but it's clear that is out. Let's hope you can charm him. But Venelana-sama, well, she is already thinking of the first grandchild's name."

Issei joined in the blush while he was about to veer up.

"She is skipping so many steps!"

"And not just Rias, also mine, Koneko-chan and Asia-chan." There was something uplifting about having four girls blush about the idea of your offspring but Issei found that he did not want to talk about that now.

His eyes veered up to Rias who could just barely look him in the eye.

"Your folks don't know about the fact that I have two Fallen Angels in my folds as well. We do need to talk with your sister about that. That being said, I think it's way too early to talk about children."

Rias began to stroke his hair again while she smirked.

"You don't want any?" She wondered about his answer while all the occupants of the train were very interested in the explanation.

"Oh, without question. That goes without saying. But I want to be able to protect my offspring and women. Despite my powers, there are still too many things that can hurt those who I care about. I think that we all need some maturing before we even consider children. Besides that, I need to see my folks about that."

That did perk everyone's attention.

"Your parents, Issei-kun," Kiba asked while the Dragon sighed.

"It's a long and convoluted story that will ruin the mood. I do not believe I should hide this secret. The short story is that I was taken to Rome as a boy. My parents were put under a spell that they lost me in an accident. It was the only way to keep them safe. I can tell you that when I found that little bit out, I was not pleased. The spell will be undone if I am in front of them. If I can keep them safe, I can keep children safe."

He didn't know how but for three of the five Devils, that story hit close enough to home.

"Yikes." Koneko was the only one who spoke.

"You can say that again, Koneko-chan. That being said, your parents do know that we do not have intercourse."

It was an unsubtle way for Issei to change the subject, signaling the story of pain and regrets was now over.

Rias was all too happy to be the victim of teasing and so she took the role gracefully.

"My parents should be aware of that. They would like to meet you and my father is not sure whether to destroy you or ask you for drinking."

"Let him know that being a Dragon, gives me a high tolerance. Plus, I have been drinking for a while."

Rias' eyes narrowed when she looked at him, with a form of disdain and disapproval.

"Legal drinking in Japan is 20."

The barking laugh was one that showed how much Issei actually thought of those laws.

"Most laws in Japan are retarded. Most of my associates used a simple rule. Old enough to kill, old enough to drink. That being said, I waited until I was fourteen for my first drink. Albion gave me one natural resistance. That being said, I drink for taste, not to get boozed."

If one drank for that reason, none of them could blame Issei for his points of view.

Rias found there was enough talk about something that none of her Peerage could indulge in and she wouldn't let Issei drink either.

"What would you ask onee-sama? I believe that you have certain requests for her."

Issei looked up at her.

"That she makes sure that you and I are committed. That no one can you take from me." His head turned to the other in the Peerage.

"The same goes for all of you. I don't want anyone else sweeping in and going after you. Another point of discussion is that I want Raynare, Kalawarner, and Mittelt safe from retaliation. I suppose you don't have an issue with that."

Rias thought about it. She had put her differences aside during the training and if she continued to do so, she could find that if things proceeded, there would be pleasure and peace. Which was better than pain and bloodshed.

"If we continue on this path, I'll find that to be something worth striving for."

Her words were final and Akeno understood what she meant. With that done, Issei found that to be good enough as an answer.

"If you ask me, none of us want to stray from that path. Now, not to sound impatient but how long before?"

The announcement spoke for them.

[We are arriving in Gremory territory. Please, remain seated until we have safely landed." They all veered up from their place while they looked outside. There were huge tracts of land in circles that more resembled major cities.

If this was Rias 'home' so to speak, he was wondering how rich the family was. Money was never something that Issei worried about.

He made a great salary and financial responsibility was something that was hammered into him from a young age.

"I have to admit, Rias. This is impressive."

Rias was happy with that compliment. Her new fiancée had to be prepared to take over this place one day.

Scene skip

When Issei stood before the house of Rias, his mouth had softly dropped open when he watched the mansion.

"I stand corrected, Rias. This is impressive."

The place had walls of polished marble that made Issei wonder if a man from the Vatican got taken by Devils and made this possible (not exactly a far push) with wood carvings that were dyed in the same color as the hair of Rias.

"Welcome to the Gremory estate, my home and now, also yours."

Issei watched the pillars that kept the house up with triangles on the upper part. He wondered how many people you could fit in this.

The door opened and before they stood, Grayfia. With a small bow, she greeted the group.

"Welcome home." There were entire lines of maids and butlers before them while they were guided through the place.

Asia clung to Issei while the Dragon watched the place. If he was honest, he found himself entering a world he never thought existed.

He was used to splendor and grandeur but this was something he never guessed was possible.

"Thank you, Grayfia. Is Okaa-sama home?" Rias asked for the Peerage while Issei dreaded meeting his upcoming mother-in-law. There were some discussions that needed to be had and he preferred to deal with others first.

"She is but Sirzechs Lucifer-sama has requested you to come over. There is much to discuss." Her eyes flickered over to Issei who gave her a short wave.

"In particular with you, Issei Hyoudou-san." The Dragon didn't think it'd be wise to escape Sirzechs so he obeyed with a polite nod.

"I imagined so."

"If you all could please follow me."

There were many hallways and twists where they had to walk through. Issei didn't have to wonder what was going on with Sirzechs. The woman had to work from home, more often than not.

At one point, the office and home became one and the same.

His mind was looking around. The house looked even more spectacular on the inside than on the outside.

Eventually, they ended up in front of a large door.

There were three rapid knocks from Grayfia who heard the voice of Sirzechs.

"Did you bring them, Grayfia?" Issei didn't know why but he had an uneasy feeling in his gut.

"Yes."

"Let them in, please." The Maid opened the door and it was not just Issei who found the place to be looking eerily familiar.

If he wasn't sure about the trip, the inside of the clubroom was a nearly identical copy of what Sirzechs had open.

It even came down to the sofas.

Behind her desk, sat Sirzechs Lucifer with a kind smile on her face as she watched her sister in adoration.

"Onee-sama." Rias made a bow and the rest, her entire Peerage, with Issei included, followed.

The Super Devil came from her spot and walked over to Rias. The Crimson-Haired Princess really didn't like it but there was a spot where she relaxed when she felt her older sister's arms around her, giving her a proper hug.

"Good to see you again, Rias." Issei watched how Sirzechs lifted Rias up from her spot and put her back down.

"The feeling is mutual, onee-sama."

The other Peerage members couldn't escape the hug either although the reactions were different. Akeno was a bit more eager to take that hug in as she felt the warm arms around her while Grayfia had a small giggle.

"I hope that your days have been pleasant, Akeno-chan. Ria-tan didn't give you too many issues." The giggles were even louder which Sirzechs found good enough.

"I'll take that as a yes."

Kiba's hug wasn't as tight but the [Knight] just smiled when he felt the arms around him.

"Pleasure to be in your presence again, Lucifer-sama?" The woman ruffled his hair and admonished him.

"Oh, Yuuto. We are family. No need to be so stiff."

Koneko didn't know if she was up for it but she stood before Sirzechs, reluctant but the [Rook] couldn't keep the smile from her face.

"Hello, Koneko-chan." The Super Devil wrapped her arms around the small girl and it was all too easy to lift her up.

It was more akin to a giant cat which made sense the more Issei thought about it. Then she grabbed the face of Koneko and got her closer to the body.

"Good to see you too, onee-sama." With another tight hug gone, Sirzechs put Koneko on the ground while the [Rook] couldn't keep from smiling.

Sirzechs looked over to Asia and from the looks of it, she was a bit more apprehensive. Letting go from Issei, the [Bishop] stood before her and it was only a head-pat that made her smile as well.

"Asia-chan. I don't think we have properly met before. I'm Sirzechs Lucifer. Your master's older sister."

The blonde Nun bowed to the woman and with a smile that made everyone mimic the action, she looked at her.

"I'll be in your care, Sirzechs-sama." The Maou found that good enough.

"Adorable, you certainly know how to pick them, Ria-tan." Then came Issei who lowered his head before the woman.

"Issei Hyoudou-kun. You certainly didn't make it easy for me the last few days." The Dragon sheepishly rubbed his head, with the same uneasy smile.

"I hate to have been a bother."

Sirzechs then grabbed him by the hair and softly, she rubbed it like he was an unruly child.

"Well, I do believe you deserve some leeway from my Ria-tan from her fate. And perhaps, there are some ways to thank you."

He wondered why he got a hug from her that landed his face, right between the chest of Sirzechs who enjoyed the gasps from the ladies while Issei's face turned bright red.

"Welcome to the Gremory family, Issei Hyoudou." There was a collective teamwork from Akeno and Rias who pulled him out and Issei composed himself, remarkably quickly.

The Super Devil just smiled in a fond fashion while her little sister glared at her. It was adorable to see her so jealous.

It was in her nature though that Sirzechs got what she wanted.

"Did you ask us to come here, just for you to embarrass us or do you want a serious discussion?"

The Maou sauntered over to the sofas while swaying her hips. She missed that Issei was pinching the bridge of his nose while Akeno and Rias were somewhat relieved to see that he was annoyed, not aroused.

Or not as aroused as he was annoyed.

Grayfia couldn't hide the small smile from her face. Her master was right about their feelings towards the young Dragon.

And the developing feelings that Sirzechs had for Issei Hyoudou.

"Not at all. I am here to discuss quite a few matters." Flopping down on the sofas, Grayfia, the ever dutiful [Queen] took her place behind her master.

Rias took the opposite seat while her Peerage, Issei included, took their place behind her.

Sirzechs looked up to him and there was again a smile.

"Oh, Issei-kun. I'd like you to sit down. I do think you deserve that spot, given the fact that you are Ria-tan's new fiancée. I suppose that you have already consummated your newest agreement."

The Maou laughed as Grayfia actually chuckled. The teenagers though were less than amused. Asia and Koneko turned bright red, Akeno was thinking of murdering her older sisters, a thought shared by Rias while Kiba was turning white as a sheet.

The Dragon facepalmed as he stared into the eyes of Sirzechs.

"I have a lot more respect for myself and your sister to think that I would ever think that was appropriate."

"Are you saying you do not want to have fun with my little sister?"

"There is a time and place for everything." The Dragon retorted while Rias looked up, thankful like that.

"I take that you have not bedded, the others from my sister's Peerage." His arms crossed, Issei glared at Sirzechs, as much as he dared.

"They are ladies who deserve to be courted, properly." His head turned to the three who couldn't keep the smile away.

"I like to say that we are moving along. But you have called us here to talk about this engagement." Sirzechs began to understand why Issei wanted to move along. Rias felt a comforting hand on her shoulder which squeezed softly into the bone.

"Yes, my [Queen] informed me that you were ready to take Riser's place. You do intend to carry that out? Despite your nature."

Issei felt Rias's eyes on him while she nodded. He got the all-clear.

"Rias, myself, her Peerage, and others, had a talk. We have agreed to build something. Monogamy is not written in my nature, neither was it written in the books of Rias. Your sister has no problem with sharing a lover but she prefers one with more honorable intentions and a more moral nature than Riser. I do intend to carry this engagement out. I would not have said those words, were I not to mean them."

The girls had found that honesty was a good policy and Issei found no reason to lie.

Learning a beautiful saying once "The truth is not an insult and reality is not an attack."

"That is a good answer. Some might have issues with your union. But I feel that your show with Riser has shown that. None of them would be fool enough to stand in your way. It does leave open a few other questions. Do you think that myself, my father, or my mother, would approve of you?"

Issei felt his jaw tighten and his arms were now crossed. There was a proud defiance in his eyes, which showed why he was heralded as the White Saint.

"You approved of Riser Phenex, so I can not see why you wouldn't approve of me. Were you not to approve of me, I don't think you would have kept me alive in the clubroom. From what I heard of Rias, I think your parents share the sentiment. If any of you do, then let it be known, that I will never give up Rias without a fight."

Sirzechs put up her hand. Fighting this fledging Dragon was not high on her list.

At least, not on the battlefield.

"If that is your resolve, I do not think that there will be an issue. Mother couldn't hide her happiness in your fight and Father, he'd like to meet you tonight. There will be one day before the party. I do hope that you can hold your liquor. We will be grilling you on questions."

Rias had warned him about it and he could live with that.

"But with that done, the party here will be one to celebrate my sister's victory in her first Rating Game. Not an official engagement party. The invitations were sent, the date has been planned and you'll have many offers. But I do think it'd be wise to enjoy this. Now, I would like to ask you how my sister could enlist your services. And how did you get the Former Holy Maiden, Asia Argento?"

Rias pulled on his arm and Issei got the message. Sitting down, next to the [King], he had one arm out, for Rias to hold herself.

"I am not telling you how I moved back to Kuoh. I will tell you that your sister and I formally met each other, and during that time, we came to an agreement. In return for closing an eye, she would allow me to save Asia. Asia is not the only woman I saved that night. Three Fallen Angels, who were cut loose, were also on the list. Rias' price was high but she agreed on me being the one to oversee those three. In return, I had to help her with a favor. That turned out to be, breaking this engagement. I had hoped that Rias would have told you."

The Crimson-Haired Princess had the decency to look sheepishly while Issei was done speaking.

"I take you had good reason not to make examples out of them." Issei was not going to lose Raynare and her friends now.

"My persuasion. And if I can be blunt, I have learned many things over my travels. You Super Natural Creatures might all talk but when you scrub away the upper layer, you'll find that you are not that different. Something that your sister has learned."

Rias nodded to her sister while she had even done something else.

"We transferred them to our school and Issei is the one who has to make sure they do not run amok. So far, we have no complaints." Her head turned to the Peerage.

"I suppose none of you do."

Akeno was the first.

"It'll take some time but so far, they are good teachers."

Kiba followed up.

"They were good for training during our time in the mountains."

Koneko also found that to be true.

"There could be worse guests."

Asia was the last and she knew more.

"Raynare-sama, Kalawarner-sama and Mittelt-sama have kept me safe. It'd be a discredit to say anything bad about them now."

Sirzechs raised an eyebrow when she heard those names.

"We have learned the names of them as well. Rias, am I correct in assuming that those Fallen Angels are also members of Issei's harem?"

The arms of Rias were crossed beneath her impressive chest while her eyes shined at her sister.

"Two of them, I am sure. In many aspects, those Fallen Angels are our seniors. We can learn much from them. And as my Peerage has mentioned, they have helped us during our training. While it was not easy at first, there have to be steps toward peace. We will never achieve it otherwise, sister."

Sirzechs found that to be a decent explanation although she would have to call Azazel and let him know about those girls. Something told her that those women, like her sister, would never want to leave Issei's side.

"I have my answers. Thank you, for enlightening me, Issei Hyoudou. Now, there is something I'd like to discuss with my sister. Would you all be so kind?"

Issei didn't know what they would talk about and he wasn't sure if he wanted to know.

"Oh, that reminds me. My mother is in her quarters. I think she would like a word with you as well. That goes for all of you, she has been missing her children."

Issei stood up and had Asia's arms around his left. Kiba and Koneko moved together as well, looking forward to seeing Venelana Gremory.

Akeno remained next to her [King] and didn't move from her position.

"I'm Rias Gremory's [Queen]. Unless she orders me otherwise, I will not move." There was a good reason why Rias had been asked to stay and Akeno did not want to miss out on that.

"We are not to ask. I'll see you later at dinner, Issei-kun." The wink that she sent his way, made Issei blush like he was a schoolboy.

He was going to pay for this one way or another.

"I'll guide you to Venelana-sama. And don't worry, we are next to you, Issei." At least, one person took pity on him. The Dragon followed the [Knight] and before long, the motley crew of four had left the room while Rias had her arms crossed and she looked a might more annoyed when the door closed.

Akeno's pleasant smile was accompanied by some sort of ozone that crackled around the place.

"Onee-sama's, I do believe you have a good reason to keep us here, to talk to us. Could it have something to do with the fact that you are interested in Issei Hyoudou?" Rias did not like this one bit while Sirzechs kept the most innocent smile that she ever could on her face.

"Oh, my dear Ria-tan, I have no idea what you are talking about."

"The fact that you had Issei-kun in your chest, as a hug, would contradict that statement. Is it necessary that you would go after him?"

Akeno's voice was as polite as before but there was a dangerous undertone that showed the danger zone. They didn't make any illusions. Compared to Grayfia and Sirzechs, they didn't hold a candle but they would not just sit back and do nothing.

"Can I help it that you and I share those genes from our mother? It's not my fault that mine grew bigger than yours."

Rias was not happy with that knowledge. Of course, her superb beauty had been renowned for quite some time but if she compared her figure to her sister, even she had some growing up to do.

"And you didn't make any moves either, Grayfia-oneesama. If you were not happy with that action, you would have acted and stopped."

The silverette was not the type to whistle a tune but she found it endearing how those girls were so protective.

"I believed that he would have acted otherwise. Still, it shows that your fiancée is not that loyal."

"I do not question his loyalty. We have made rules and I know that he'll respect them. It does not stop the question. I was under the assumption that you didn't like men."

Grayfia's cheeks painted pink while Sirzechs just chuckled.

"I never met the right guy. Is that so wrong that I gave the impression that I am not interested in men until I found a guy that I do like?" The Lucifer just smiled as both Rias and Akeno were getting more riled up.

"No but why does it have to be the guy that declared to be MY fiancée?"

Issei had spoken that he would be protective of Rias and it would be nothing more than fair she would be the same.

There were women that Rias would accept in his harem and he would be nothing but honest to her.

Letting her sister get closer to him, would mean that she would bang Issei before her.

"Is it so bad that I wished to reminisce the days we were trying to match? I remembered how cute you were, dressed up in my uniforms. We still have those pictures. By the powers that be, Rias, you are even more adorable than you were back then."

Rias was about to blow a gasket when she was reminded of that little bit. Akeno was now glaring at Grayfia who kept the small chuckle.

"And what about you, Grayfia-oneesama? I can't believe that you also got interested in Issei-kun." The Maid twirled her hair while she began to think.

"There are few who have the courage to stand up to me. Issei did so and well, I share the sentiment with my [King]. I do find him interesting."

Sirzechs found that she had her long enough fun and walked over to Rias. The Princess rose to meet her sister's gaze.

"You will have to wait a bit, Rias. Nee-chan is still figuring out what she really wants from Issei-kun but the feelings are positive. I would advise you that you don't wait too long before you get what you want from Issei-kun. There are others who are also interested in him."

Cupping her chin, Rias couldn't move. Something in her like the forehead kiss that Sirzechs gave her and it was something that signaled their bond as sisters.

When she was let go, Grayfia joined the sisters while Akeno was standing behind her own master.

"Do you think that it's easy for me, Rias? Mother and Father have been nagging my cute ass off, for wanting grandchildren. You're not in a hurry to give them and I really want to get rid of the noise."

Rias softly took the arm away while still looking at her sister.

"I sympathize with you." Rias looked over to Grayfia who also received those words.

"Both of you. But why does that have to be Issei? There have to be a dozen other men who would love nothing more than to have you as his wife."

Arms crossed, the eyes of Sirzechs did harden up a bit.

"Do you think that I'll let anyone in my bed that easily? Issei is the first boy that in a long, long time impressed me. And if you are wondering, the only one that I have had in that said bed, is standing behind me."

Then the visage softened up a bit.

"Don't worry, Ria-tan, Akeno-chan. I will take my time figuring it out and I'll let you know. Now, run along. I believe that our Mother would like to see you."

There was a polite bow and then, the two Great Ladies left while Sirzechs leaned on the handrail of the sofa while Grayfia got even closer.

"You believe this was the right course of action?" Grayfia was finding this more amusing than she should but in this context, it would never be used against hers.

"I rather have my sister mad at me because I make goo-goo eyes at her guy than her being mad at me, for forcing her to marry a pig. Besides, I think that he'll make a great partner. He is just the right age."

The maid sighed but when she felt two strong arms, she got wrapped around and grabbed by Sirzechs.

A tongue invaded her mouth and she could feel two hands, grabbing her cheeks while playing around.

She could feel her body heating up from that administration. The make-out session was something that she enjoyed as Sirzechs loved playing around like this and now, it was the perfect time. Her tongue skated the inside of the mouth while the hands just played around on that wonderful ass.

When oxygen became needed, they let go and when their mouths let go, she could see in the eyes of Sirzechs.

"I love you, Grayfia. I really do."

"Love you too, Zechs. But with your words, I am thinking about it. Can you imagine us being pregnant at the same time?"

Both mature women giggled like school girls while trying to think about how their sisters would react to that.

Scene skip

Issei still felt shudders going down his spine.

"That was scary. I don't know what she would say but I didn't expect that."

Kiba's uneasy laugh showed that even he and Koneko were not used to seeing Sirzechs like that."

"I can assure you that Venelana-sama is a bit more predictable. She will have many questions for you and she might test you out but she will not play those games."

Issei didn't like those words at all.

"Jeez, thanks, Kiba. I wonder how your mother will react when she sees me."

Koneko had one small chuckle when she heard those words.

"She is not our mother, chief. She's Buchou's and Sirzechs-sama's." Issei just shook his head when he heard those words.

"Sirzechs called you her siblings. If I go by logic, something that shouldn't surprise you, her parents see you as one of their children as well. Wonder if that goes as well for a guy like me."

Both of the Devils halted when the words hit them. When they thought about it, it made sense to hear it like that.

"In that case, we are at her quarters. I do think you should mind your manners even more than you did with Sirzechs-sama."

Issei took those words to heart.

They knocked on the door and a strong, elegant voice spoke.

"Enter."

Kiba opened the door and Issei waited until he saw the mother of Rias and Sirzechs. There was no guessing from whom the Gremory ladies inherited the curves, chest, and long hair. If he took away the hair color, he swore that there was another sister of Rias.

The flaxen had a soft touch and he could clearly see the violet eyes that shined on her children.

The simple white dress, knee length while her cleavage was very impressive with white gloves and slippers. The only real thing that showed her wealth was the silver necklace with a crimson jewel at its center.

There came a soft smile on her face when she saw the group.

"I see that my daughters kept themselves occupied. Although, I am happy to see you again, my children."

Kiba and Koneko were the first two who received a real tight hug from the woman in front of her. Asia held onto Issei as he supported her through it. But when it became time, she took the hug with the same grace while Issei could feel the stares of Venelana Gremory.

The woman had a great reluctance to let Asia go and walk over to the Dragon. Issei didn't know why he felt small in the last few days when he stood before Devils like Venelana or Sirzechs.

"So you must be Issei Hyoudou?"

If he was wearing a hat, he would sweep it off but instead, Issei gave the woman a polite nod.

"Ma'am."

Venelana had a heavy scrutiny as she examined the Dragon in front of her. There was no hiding the strength that Issei possessed. The Dragon kept his eyes on hers to examine what way she would jump.

"So I believe you are the boy who has won my daughter in that Rating Game."

The voice was level but women had a hard time speaking their minds.

"First of all. I didn't win Rias in that Game. She decided that she would become engaged to me. It was her choice."

That did soften her face a bit when she heard that.

"And you intend to marry Rias?"

"I would have never agreed to this plan were it not my intention. It is not in my nature to string women along. If things are proceeding as well as they are now, yes. Although I'll hold myself off from marriage until I have found myself established."

That did the trick and Venelana relaxed as she stood before Issei. The height difference showed how much taller he was but he was going along with her.

The woman gave Issei a soft giggle and then her hands stroked over his head, gently assaulting Issei's scalp.

"I was surprised though that she picked a new guy like you. But I have seen the Rating Game. I have seen how my daughter is around you. These days will be entertaining. Some young folks around and I believe my daughters have arrived." Issei turned to the side and heard the same polite knock.

"Enter, Rias." The door was open in a calm, restrained fashion but as soon it was closed, Rias and Akeno sprung to their mother and acted much more their age while Issei just stood back and watched how much affection they had for Venelana.

Chattering like a flock of birds, Issei crossed his arms while he watched Venelana chat away with the girls while Kiba joined him.

"You were right, she is our mum."

Scene skip

After Venelana had been informed by her daughters and son, biological and adopted, of how Issei came into the picture, she enjoyed listening to the stories they told.

There was still time before dinner so she asked Issei Hyoudou to move along. There was privacy needed.

All of Rias' Peerage knew this would only mean one thing.

"Chief is going to get his ass kicked. I do hope Venelana-sama keeps him alive."

"I don't want to be the one who tells those Fallen Angels that he has fought Mother."

None of them were ambitious enough to stop Venelana from testing him out.

Issei was not an idiot who walked blissfully unaware of his doom. He could exactly feel what this mother wanted from him.

He just hoped that he could live through that fight.

They walked through the palace as if there was one particular destination in mind.

The other door opened and like a gentleman, Issei walked up to her.

"Allow me."

"You are really well raised."

When he opened the door, he found himself, standing on the outside. It looked like an open courtyard but Issei could smell the magic, flowing through the place and a sun that had begun its course downwards.

"I take you know why I brought you here." The Dragon could see the powers waving through her and if he didn't know the red hair of Rias so well, he could swear the woman before him, was his fiancée.

"And you know what my powers are."

"Your daughters inherited them from you. I heard quite a few stories from my former associates. Mother of Ruin."

Venelana had a soft smile but that didn't stop the powers from looking any less scary that Issei gulped and he felt Albion shudder.

The soft giggle that she made, was not reassuring at all.

"That is true, Issei-kun. Now, I heard a lot about you and I saw your Rating Game but I'd like to test you out to see how far I can push you."

There was no way he would get away from this. So it was best to go all out on this matter.

"Albion, Balance Breaker." Issei knew he would not have a chance to play around. Best to go all in at once.

[Vanishing Dragon. Balance Breaker!]

Albion feared that if Issei lost this match, there was an uncertainty he would survive.

Scene skip

Issei had learned many things throughout his life. One of the earliest lessons was that you learned more from defeat than from winning.

He had spent eight years on that path and by the time that he began to win, it was against beings that would kill him if he lost.

Venelana was a new name that had defeated the Vanishing Dragon. Of course, he held back and he didn't use his Holy Weapons as he didn't want to kill Venelana.

The same could be said about hers. He hoped. He wished.

Because the fight had been something that took serious effort out of him.

He had deactivated the [Sacred Gear], more out of the fact that he was physically and mentally battered. It had been one hell of a fight where the Lady of the House had tested him.

It was her soft smile that stood above him.

The good news was that her gloves would be replaced. So he did some damage there.

But she was the one who looked pristine. Issei was the one who had been battered. With his Gear now gone, it showed a clean and delicious six-pack while his trousers were now shorts. Plus, he lost his shoes.

"I have to admit. You really know how to fight."

"It's incredible how much time you have when you don't have to go to school. You can learn a lot."

Venelana chuckled when she heard Issei's comment.

"Did I pass the test or not?"

He really wished that he didn't have more issues now. He had already proven himself to her sister, now her mother.

Issei had high hopes that something could bloom.

"There will be many more. But I know that you are a capable, responsible young man. Now, we'll have dinner in an hour. I presume you'll be ready and cleaned up by then."

Issei had somewhat thought she would make sure that he could move but when Venelana had moved, he still lay in the garden with his eyes up to the sky.

A part of him hoped that he could move so he could take a shower, change into clothes that didn't reek or fall off, and have that said dinner.

His eyes were telling him to close his eyes and fall asleep but he couldn't let Rias down.

Now, if only his body followed his mind.

"Am I correct in assuming that you must be Issei Hyoudou?"

The voice sounded awfully familiar, although male, a nice baritone, and carried something that Issei would describe as fatherly pride.

Issei looked up to see green eyes and red hair. The small beard had some horns on the end and the suit was white with golden lines and a black undershirt.

The same crimson hair was tied up in a small ponytail.

"You'd be correct, sir. Am I talking to Rias and Sirzechs' father?"

Zeoticus Gremory had a small laugh when he heard Issei talk.

"I believe my wife went to you first. Pity, I'd love to test you out myself."

Issei did not want to have another fight with one of Rias' parents.

"That can be done but not tonight. Right now, I require a shower, some clean clothes, and a good meal. And after that, an early bed."

Zeoticus sat down right next to Issei, not hindered by the destroyed garden.

"I do fear that will have to wait. I can't test you out in combat but there will be some serious drinking tonight. And don't use the excuse you are a minor. We will drink."

Issei sighed but he found that it was for the best if that was how Zeoticus wanted to test him out.

"So any particular reason why you decided to lay on the grounds?"

"My body couldn't keep up with your wife." Only realizing how that sounded, Issei wanted to say something back as he was aghast. The relief was immediately felt as Zeoticus only busted out in laughing.

"Oh, don't worry, my dear boy. I witnessed the fight. I did believe it was only safe to enter when the missus left. You did impress me though. Not in just the fight with Riser. I do fear he has some growing up to do. Although, I could say the same thing about you."

Issei looked back to the sky.

"If it does make you feel better, I am your daughter's choice. You came up with the Rating Game. We delivered. No one can complain."

Zeoticus found no reason to question that logic.

"Fair. Although, I do wonder when I could see grandchildren."

Unlike what he would have guessed, Issei acting like a fool, the boy turned to him. A fire of determination burned as bright as the morning sun.

"That is Rias' choice. And my choice. I'll only want offspring if I can be sure that I can protect them. You'll have to give us a decade. Patience is a virtue. One that even Devils should practice."

Zeoticus nodded to Issei as he found there were some more reasons to like Issei.

"Now, I do not want to be a bother but shouldn't you get up? My wife is not a person you'd like to see angry."

"I take that is the same with Rias. I would have loved to move but find myself incapable of doing so as my body had given out on me. I know it's a lot to ask but could you help me out? I do believe there is a room foreseen for me."

Again, Issei made his future father-in-law laugh but the Gremory patriarch knew that Issei would never ask this if it wasn't a serious matter.

"Shoulder carry?"

"Yes, please."

Issei did not question how Zeoticus could lift him up nor if he was bothered by the stains of combat on his white shirt.

The only thing that Issei did was gracefully and gratefully take the kindness he had been shown.

Rias had a wonderful family but it would take a while before they would accept him as their daughter's choice.

Good thing that he wasn't going anywhere.

Scene skip

He had done a miraculous job by getting a quick shower. Zeoticus luckily had some clothes lying around that he could wear.

The black suit fitted him like a glove but he was not happy with the tie. It made him feel like he was a man, heading for the gallows.

Dinner was a lively affair with many commenting on Issei's fine manners. He and Asia shared a pained look at teachings. Both of them had been forced to learn this from a young age and while they hated every minute of it, it now paid dividends.

Asia was also relieved that Issei was the one who got grilled by Sirzechs, Venelana, and Zeoticus about this.

It could be seen as unpleasant but the ribbing and laughing was something that could be enjoyed.

Later on, it was on Rias and the other Peerage members as Issei got told embarrassing stories about their youth.

Rias looked like she was about to sink through the floor of shame with even Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko having the same things done to them.

Issei was not going to ruin the mood but there was no telling how much he would give that his parents could do the same to them.

The Gremory's had excellent cooks and Issei tested them to their limits.

He would need a serious layer because Zeoticus and Sirzechs had put two heavy hands on his shoulders and marched him straight to the drinking lounge.

Issei had always appreciated those rooms. They were warm places, away from combat and conflict.

A chandelier hung up but several other lights were also hanging around. There were some stuffed animals and ships that were standing on the walls.

The sofas were most likely the same as Rias' room with a table in the middle.

"Take a seat, my boy. You're not leaving this place for a long time."

Following the order, Issei sat down while Zeoticus came back with several glasses and bottles.

Even for a Dragon, this would become quite an amount of alcohol to consume.

This was not just some cheap booze. This was quality, hard liquor.

It costed more than what some people made in a single year.

"Wouldn't your wife be suspicious of doing this? Not to mention, Rias."

Zeoticus poured those three drinks. Issei could smell the large amount of anise in it.

Pastis or raki? Something like that.

It did burn in his throat while Sirzechs and Zeoticus laughed at him.

"Don't you worry, Issei? My wife and Grayfia will keep them busy. We agreed to this. So believe me, you are going to drink. And talk, boy. Talk, drink, and laugh."

Issei groaned while he felt the booze hitting his chest and the back of his head. He wouldn't remember much from the drinks and hoped to God that he wouldn't say too many embarrassing things.

That or that Zeoticus would forget about what he said.

Scene skip

Sirzechs had sneaked in water to keep herself hydrated and sober to a relative degree. Somewhere, it was hilarious to see her father that drunk.

Alcohol was a source of much evil but not in her family. Issei had managed to drink her father under the table and something told her that it would be only her father that would pay for his heavy drinking.

He was now laying on the sofa, with some servants who would take him up. He'd have to sleep in a separate room, so as not to wake his wife from puking or headaches.

There had been many talks with him and Venelana and only in these special cases, would he drink.

Sirzechs didn't bother with her father though, her attention was on Issei. The Dragon Boy was now lying on the sofa but at least, he sat upright.

The booze was now also hitting her and a dirty, lecherous idea was spreading through her mind. Of course, there was a thing called restraint.

"Issei, hey, Issei. Are you awake?"

The sound that he made was exactly something that could be called words but it proved that he was ready for bed.

Getting even closer to the boy, Sirzechs could smell the booze that he had but she took her chances that he wouldn't puke.

Scooping the boy up, his head lolled to the back but it was not too hard. Walking through the mansion, she guided him to his room.

There was a thing called Devil's Luck. Sirzechs had copious amounts of it. Just when she was about to turn in, Grayfia passed by and the ears of Devils were excellent.

"Grayfia, psst. Fia, come here."

The silver-haired maid turned to see her master standing with Issei in the bridal carry. There was something incredibly adorable about that image that she saved it up in her databank of "Very important" and wished that she had her smartphone with her.

"Zechs. I take that the drinking is over."

"Tough boy, Issei. Father has enjoyed himself. How did Ria-tan and the others handle it?"

Grayfia sighed when she and Venelana kept Rias entertained.

Despite all their tries, it became clear that Rias, Akeno, Koneko, and Asia were young ladies who wanted nothing more but their man.

But they had to give him up for one night.

"This didn't fall under my usual duties. In other words, you owe me one, Zechs Lucifer."

The twinkling in her eyes would normally be enough to drag her along and start a five-minute make-out session and a ten-minute quickie in a hallway.

But Sirzechs carried Issei along so they couldn't do that.

"I do." Her eyes flickered down to the Dragon.

"How about I make it up to you and we get this Dragon to bed?"

Grayfia didn't need one second to catch up to Sirzechs and her own mind began to think about the implications of those words.

"Do you seriously think it would be appropriate if we were to share the bed with your sister's fiancée?"

The words were meant to be disapproving of the actions but Grayfia's lips tugged upwards and her mind was also wandering.

It could have something to do with the fact that she had some drinks as well.

Her tolerance to alcohol was way lower than most creatures.

"Well, he didn't say that he would be exclusive. Another benefit is that both of us are thinking about him. If we want this to be more serious, I think that this could be beneficial."

Instead of a couple of Super Devils, both Sirzechs and Grayfia were acting like two teenage girls, giggling and laughing as they were about to skip school.

Neither of them had noticed a third presence.

Venelana had hidden herself behind a pillar while she was eavesdropping on the two. She didn't mean to do that but she just wanted to listen to them.

Try all she could, the first Ruin Princess couldn't keep that smile from her face. This was just too good to witness.

This Issei Hyoudou not only brought the end to that agreement for her youngest daughter, but her oldest finally and she really was relieved, finally got herself interested in a man.

'Maybe I'll have grandchildren from both my daughters in this century.'

Now, it might have been something that her daughter's children were half-siblings but they were Devils after all.

Scene skip

Sirzechs had shown more restraint than Grayfia. They had stripped Issei down to his boxers as they felt that Rias could forgive them for being the first to sleep next to Issei.

Of course, she and Grayfia were naked. How else could Issei Hyoudou take them seriously as potential harem members if they were to dress up?

Besides, they usually slept naked. It made having fun, sexy times easier.

This time though, they couldn't do that. Neither were in the mood for anything particular and when you had a boy like Issei, a woman would have liked him to be awake.

They were nearly drooling about the prospect.

Of course, they could have chosen a pillow but what good would that be?

Both grabbed a hand of Issei as they used the biceps as a pillow (supported by an actual pillow) while they used the hand to grope one tit of each woman.

Grayfia felt weird with Issei's calloused hands groping her right breast while Sirzechs felt a surprising comfort that she hadn't felt since she grew up.

How could this Issei make her feel so safe?

"I do admit, this is certainly a thrill."

Grayfia could feel arousal growing but she held that in.

"Get some sleep, Grayfia. The morning will be here soon enough."

And just like her [King], the Ultimate [Queen] couldn't wait until morning would come.

How would Issei react when he found himself in bed with two of the most powerful women of the Underworld? That would be a sight to behold.

Scene skip

If a man of his age had consumed the same amount of alcohol as Issei Hyoudou did last night, he would have been a victim of binge/coma drinking.

Luckily for him, he had a Dragon in his system that did most of the filtering through.

Zeoticus Gremory had an excellent choice in alcohol but the copious amounts had gotten rid of the taste.

Which was a shame because even hard liquors were meant to be enjoyed.

And when he thought about enjoyment, his hands were on familiar material but unfamiliar grounds.

He wanted to wipe his face with his hands but found his limbs to be restricted.

His foggy mind began to clear up but why did that have to hurt so much? His eyes began to open and he found himself looking up to a canopy.

Okay, this wasn't his room. Or better put, not his room at home. Then his hands began to squeeze.

The objects in his hands were round, big, soft, and warm.

No woman, no matter her strength, could restrain both his limbs and have both his hands grope her chest.

'Okay, what do I remember? I drank with Sirzechs and Zeoticus. That's all I can remember. So someone must have gotten me to bed.'

It took him nearly two minutes before his eyes could look downwards and he saw two very striking features.

There was a red familiar hair. long and crimson-like maple trees in autumn.

'Rias?'

The other hair was silver of the purest kind, a silver that he had rarely seen.

'What the?'

When his hands softly squeezed, he had never expected Sirzechs Lucifer and Grayfia Lucifuge to make such illicit moans.

"Good morning, Issei-kun." Sirzechs made her presence known in the world of the awake as she looked up to Issei, his hand still on her right breast.

There was a certain confidence in her nature which showed despite her naked appearance. On his left, Grayfia also began to stir.

The Dragon had a few seconds of blue screen before his hungover state went away and he was now fully conscious.

"What are you doing in my bed?" The harsh whisper was one more born out of fear and worry.

Not just from what Rias, Akeno, Koneko, and Asia would do to him but also, from the two women in his bed who could easily kill him, were doing in his bed.

Grayfia also got more awake and just like her [King], she was all too confident.

"Good morning, Issei-kun."

He had hoped he could get away before Grayfia was awake but no such luck it seemed.

"Grayfia-san, eh, good morning."

There was a signature smirk on both their faces and neither woman had any intention of moving. In fact, they just seemed to make themselves even more comfortable as they nuzzled into Issei Hyoudou.

[It seems that you have attracted those two. Not the first time that my host had made, what is the word, sister sandwiches in his life. Oh my, how lewd.]

[That is the last thing that I'll need to hear. It seems that I'll get no help from you.]

"Ladies, might I be inclined to ask you two what you are doing in my bed?"

A dramatic chuckle escaped from Sirzechs who made a wonderful actress.

"Oh, no. Grayfia, he doesn't remember a single thing from last night."

"That is horrible. I believed that he would remember all things we did."

Issei would either do something incredibly stupid or incredibly brave or most likely, a mix of the two things as he pinched both their nipples between his thumbs and index fingers.

Both women couldn't hold back a moan from just that interaction as Issei let his other three digits sink into the soft flesh.

Issei hoped that Rias' breasts could match up to her sister's.

"If you two would suggest that we had intercourse, believe me, I would have remembered that. Or at the very least, feel the effects of that."

The tryst that he had with Raynare and Kalawarner would have been nothing compared to those two in his bed. He was sure of that.

Letting the nipples go, he was now back to his scared self while he looked at the two women.

"What do you remember, Issei-kun?" Sirzechs asked. Her tone was gentle but he could feel a hint of arousal in her voice. Incidentally, he didn't remove his hand either.

"I do remember only that I drank with you and your father. That's about it. So could you please tell me what happened and why I ended up in bed with you?"

His eyes shifted to Grayfia who couldn't get the smile from her face.

"When both you and Father were both done, I carried you to bed. There were servants who would take care of Father."

The Dragon still didn't believe that was the full story.

"Sirzechs-sama, that doesn't explain why you are here. I mean, couldn't you just have left me in bed?"

"It'd be bad manners if we would just dump you in bed, dressed and all. As I wouldn't want to disturb my sister of her Peerage, I took it upon myself to make sure you were comfortable."

Issei was about to say more but then his eyes looked over at Grayfia.

At least, she was looking a tad more guilty.

"Grayfia-san, please. Tell me more information."

"I met Sirzechs-sama in the hallway while she carried you. Just like my master, I believed that it would be appropriate to make sure our guests are comfortable."

Issei looked down on his hands as those were still on breasts that were the definition of perfection.

"I don't think that's appropriate you both are sleeping naked in the bed of your sister's boyfriend. How did she even convince you?"

Grayfia had a soft smile while Sirzechs looked affronted.

"Issei-kun, what could you possibly mean by that?" The tone was teasing as those two succubi were enjoying every minute of this.

"She would not have the idea of sleeping next to me in bed, naked, Sirzechs-sama. That idea had to come from you. I know what happens when I get drunk. I just fell asleep and I'm dead to the world."

Sirzechs just smiled as she got up closer to him.

Not too much of a problem as she was a good bit taller than he was.

"I think we would show the fiancée of my little sister our hospitality. Besides, I think that you would enjoy waking up like this."

The peck on his cheek made him go red like a schoolboy while the words were whispered in his ear.

"I sleep naked, my sister has taken over that habit."

The words of Albion were spooking through his head and that was the last thing he wanted.

'I thank my dick for pumping Raynare and Kalawarner full. I don't think that my restraint would have been up to snuff if they hadn't.'

"Look, all things besides, you two wouldn't have slept in my bed if you were just looking to play around. Serious question. Do you two like me or something? Like more than just your sister's boyfriend?"

They rolled out of his grasp but their breasts were now pressed on his chest while their body weight proved to be a comfortable weight on his own.

"What could you possibly mean by that, Issei-kun?" Grayfia booped his nose

"I think that this fledging Dragon has a dirty mind." Sirzechs was drawing circles on his stomach.

The Dragon could not, and if he was honest, he did not want to get up from his spot but that didn't stop him from talking.

"I have a dirty mind?! I am not the person who stripped a schoolboy to his boxers, got under his arms, and made sure that his hands were squeezing their breasts. Both of you have an excellent pair of tits by the way."

Finally, he got Sirzechs and Grayfia to blush for a bit as Issei pulled his left hand back. Those temples and nose bridges could use some relief.

For a few moments, Issei was contemplating his options.

Then he looked at the two species of perfectional beauty in his bed.

"You had your fun, teasing me. Now, I'd like a serious answer. Do you two like me? If so, I really would like to know why."

Sirzechs and Grayfia shared a look with the other and then back to Issei.

"I do admit that what I felt, stirred through the match and our first meeting in the clubroom of Rias. I will also add that I don't have that many men who can match up to me. I think that you would make a wonderful partner, Issei-kun. I'm still figuring out what exactly it is but I will let you know that is positive. And well, I don't exactly take things the slow route."

His eyes went to Grayfia who just smiled at him.

"I will follow my [King] to wherever she goes. I do share the sentiment that you'll make something great out of yourself. I also find you a very particularly interesting young man, Issei-kun. Besides, it would prove entertaining to see your reactions. I wished you'd have jumped up and went up and down when you found naked women in your bed."

Issei was not going to disclose the fact that he had already done that and did even much, much more with naked women in his bed.

The Dragon became quiet while he pondered about it. No one in his Harem so far, could stand up against Sirzechs and Grayfia, even if they combined all their strength. Against one, it would be impossible.

Against two, it would be impossible.

Plus, it was better to have sex with Super Natural Babes than to fight them.

"Look, if you two are serious about this, and I do mean that, I suggest you talk to Rias and let her decide. But if you want to figure out your feelings first, I'd like you two to leave my bedroom. I think that we'll have breakfast soon enough."

There was nothing they could argue against that fact but there would be something else first.

It helped they knew each other for so long, so Sirzechs looked over at Grayfia.

"Do you want to go first, Fia, or would you like me to be?"

Their smirks were mirrors of the other and Issei could feel cold sweat running down his back. When Grayfia's arms encircled his head, her lips were attached to his and her tongue invaded his mouth.

Usually, he was the one who dominated his partner in bed but it appeared that she had eons more experience and so, he laid back and let Grayfia taste on the inside of his mouth while her hands teased around the head.

He could feel his head spinning and his cock growing hard. Hopefully, not enough for them to notice.

"I think that this is the start of something beautiful, Issei-kun."

It was with great reluctance that Grayfia let Issei go and her body entangled from his. Sirzechs took that as her cue as she sat on his stomach, luckily.

If he was half mast before, now, he was fully at attention as he admired the naked body of Sirzechs Gremory.

Of course, Rias was a beauty in her own right but there was something that made women in her twenties just that bit more special than girls of his own age.

[Give it a few more years and it'll be closer to twins when you are pumping them full of children.]

[I really hate you right now.]

His hands really wanted to grab that wonderful ass of Sirzechs but even that was impossible.

Her tongue explored the inside of his mouth, even more thoroughly than Grayfia and when she was done, she even got more of her tongue on the tip of his while she just enjoyed teasing his body to an incredible degree.

Her hands kept his head in the same place while her body could feel every rock-hard muscle of Issei, tense beneath her.

"I do believe that we need to talk to Ria-tan and her Peerage about this. But until that time, Issei-kun, I would prefer it if you keep your mouth closed."

Yeah, that was for the best. He wouldn't want that storm to be unleashed at his doorstep.

"Agreed but that goes both ways. Do you ladies mind telling your sisters a white lie that you just came to fetch me?"

Then Sirzechs and Grayfia got up from the bed and they had found their clothes where they left them the previous night.

With light coming through and the sight of them, Issei didn't know why he was so hypnotized and drooling about the image of their perfect bodies.

If these were any other women, he would have a long talk about doing this and the fact that he was stepping out of his harem.

But he really wished that they would agree to become his. He threw himself back on the pillows while he could feel his erection pressing against his underwear.

'At least, they didn't have their way with me.' There was no way they would not have noticed that.

If their kiss was anything to go by, these two were ladies who would dictate how they would like to handle him in bed.

[Nine at the count in the span of a month. And you conquer the best sort of women, Issei.]

[If you don't keep your mouth shut, I'll find ways to make you suffer.]

Scene skip

When they were dressed, Issei pretty much jumped into his clothes. He wouldn't give them the chance to do anything to him.

The mansion was huge and it proved that he had to walk a bit until they would get to the breakfast room.

Out of the room, they acted with the right attitude and Issei was grateful for that.

Breakfast was at the same place where dinner was. It was no surprise that Issei found the entire Peerage already gathered there, enjoying a wide assortment of choices.

He could feel his stomach grumbling.

"Issei, good morning." Rias and Akeno were the first to veer out of their seats and wrap their arms around the Dragon.

Venelana would have scolded them for their improper attitude but couldn't help but endeared by their teenage behavior.

A dreamy smile came over her lips when she watched how the two girls kissed their boyfriend.

She ignored her husband who was nursing a dark black coffee for the hangover that he was experiencing.

She wouldn't have a form of pity on him. He did that to himself. Why did he believe that it would be proper to act out like that?

When the two Great Ladies of Kuoh let Issei go, there was a hint of suspicion of why Sirzechs and Grayfia brought him to the breakfast table.

"Onee-sama's, why did you bring Issei?"

"His room was on our route and given his sloshed attitude from last night, we believed that he wouldn't find his way here." That was not a lie as their rooms were the same way.

They didn't sleep in their room though.

"I see." They had no reason to doubt them and Issei nodded to them.

"Slept well, Issei?" Rias asked to which Issei nodded.

"Just a bit hungover. That is all. Asia, could you help me out?"

The petite blonde watched over Venelana as if she were to ask permission.

"Let him come to you, Asia-chan. No reason to get up. And that is the same for all of you, daughters. Take your seats." Sirzechs smiled as she got her own spot. For once, Grayfia joined her master on the table. It was her day off after all.

Issei sat down with a pained face while Asia began to use her [Twilight Healing]. Koneko handed him a cup of coffee.

"Black would be best, Chief."

"Thanks, Koneko-chan." There was a small smirk on their faces as they found the older girls to be miffed from the action.

Asia took the healing seriously and her mind couldn't help but imagine things.

Rias and Akeno didn't want their sisters around their boyfriend and neither could shake that something was fishy.

Kiba kept his mouth shut during all this interaction. It was not just to keep the peace but also because Issei would kill him if he let something slip.

There was something that happened but it wasn't his concern.

"I do hope that you young people know that you'll have the victory party tonight, Rias. Of course, we still have your clothes from your previous stays. Issei-kun, Asia-chan, what about you two?"

Isse held out his arm to signal that he was just having the healing from Asia and he would speak then.

"I got my own formal clothing."

"I would need to see those. Asia-chan, what about you?"

The [Bishop] smiled as she knew what else she had brought along.

"I have my own attire as well."

Venelana looked over to Rias as if she knew more about it.

"I have seen Issei's clothes. I do trust his words. But I do not know about Asia."

"I will have to see them and approve of them."

Venelana's tone showed that there was no talking back.

"Of course."

Issei heard all what the girls did, last night and how much they had enjoyed their time with their mother and Grayfia.

After breakfast, they did what Venelana asked of them.

Issei didn't find it surprising that Asia's choice of attire was disapproved of. No matter how much Asia pouted, protested, or begged, Venelana remained steadfast in her viewpoint.

Rias was embarrassed that she didn't check the outfit of her [Bishop]. The rest of the family just watched the hilarity unfold.

Akeno was giggling while Koneko did her best to keep the smile from her face. Sirzechs and Kiba had been laughing the entire time and even Issei chuckled at the show.

An unstoppable force met an unmovable object and it came down to Venelana refusing to let Asia leave the room until she had agreed to wear something different.

It came down to a dress from Rias that she wore when she had a similar body to Asia. A beautiful green piece that was long enough, with an even fabric as it didn't show off her legs.

Issei chalked that up as one more thank you that he would have to give Venelana.

Rias and Akeno were teasing Issei with the outfits they would wear and dragged him along to their room.

It didn't go unnoticed by anyone that they wanted to have Issei around them, especially since they had to miss him throughout the day.

If they were not wearing different attires, they just talked to Issei about their time and spent their days in this place while Issei had his own stories.

Those parties usually weren't his thing but he could let that slide.

Rias and Akeno had to learn that they weren't the only ones who had a commitment to Issei. When they heard a knock on the door, Koneko and Asia came through and without a word but with a strong enough look, the two girls chose a place around Issei.

Koneko sat on his lap while Asia leaned on his head.

Those small moments were the things worth fighting for.

Scene skip

Issei should have known that the party would have been at Rias' house. Of course, they could hoist a formal party here.

His upcoming mother-in-law had taken it upon herself to make sure that the party would have been something to celebrate her youngest daughter's victory.

The banners were the same red that Zeoticus and his children shared while Issei admired the architecture of the building.

That wasn't the only thing that showed the wealth of the Gremorys.

The paintings that hung on the walls were massive and it showed how long it has been. The past of the Devils hung on them.

Servants were of course busy with preparing the last hands on the party, like beverages, and giving it one last cleaning before they were able to attend the party.

Issei and Kiba's suits were pretty similar, a black shirt with a white undershirt plus black trousers.

Rias' choice was a flattering red dress that showed just the right amount of cleavage and legs without Issei having the need to feel jealous.

Koneko's pink dress was just adorable enough to make him grin while Asia was getting around the green dress that she had been gifted.

It matched her pretty eyes and the shoes weren't too bad either on her.

Akeno's dress wasn't a dress but a kimono that hugged her rocking body like a glove. It had a drawing of a tree branch in autumn

Before the sun had set, guests had been piling up around the door and Rias had the congratulations from many a Devil while Issei kept his stalwart appearance next to her.

A face that he had expected to see sooner was Sona who was wearing a blue dress while her Peerage around her, had also formal dresses on. The notable exception was Sarakawa who had chosen a suit, similar to Issei's but who unlike him, couldn't hide her assets, peeking through.

She didn't know but Issei liked a woman who could rock a guy's outfit.

"I will admit, Rias. It was quite a show. My felicitations to you as well, Hyoudou-kun." She adjusted her glasses which made Rias and Issei know what she would ask.

"But you do know that you owe me for this. When we are back in school, I'll be making use of them."

Sarakawa walked over to Issei and held out her fist.

"From Dragon to Dragon, good fight."

Issei bumped hers and smiled.

"From Dragon to Dragon, thank you. And don't worry, I'll help you out. Vritra's host."

[If you get her, you can conquer her master. Plus, the looks that you are getting from her Peerage make me wonder if she'll ask her to help them out as well.]

[One thing at the time, mate. One thing at the time.]

Another surprising guest was Ravel Phenex, escorted by Isabella.

The sister of Riser bowed to Rias as a show of humility.

"Gremory-sama, Vanishing Dragon. Congratulations on the victory."

The subtle squeeze in his arm, courtesy of Akeno, made it clear that he should not open his mouth and let Rias talk for her victory.

Rias handled that a lot better than he would have.

"Thank you, Ravel. But where are the others of your brother's Peerage? Are you the only ones who were able to attend?"

"The rest of them are recovering. The scars, both mental and physical, have taken a toll on all of them. I believe that my brother got the worst outcome of it. I do imagine that it will take a while before he is able to move."

Rias was too composed to think about that but Issei enjoyed a huge amount of schadenfreude as he imagined Riser soiling himself in front of him.

"I can imagine. I do thank the Phenex for sending one of their representatives to thank me. But the one you should congratulate is Issei. I wouldn't have been able to pull it off."

"I was just the tipping point you needed. I could not have taken Riser's Peerage on my own."

The Dragon was not going to brag about things he couldn't do. It also helped to give Rias some peace of mind.

There was no lie in his words and the truth would not be seen as an insult.

"Powerful, yet humble. Many can learn from you." Ravel made a small bow to him

"Thank you for the compliment, Ravel-san," Issei answered while the Phenex daughter blushed and then went to socialize with the other guests.

A graceful victory had to be able to handle a graceful defeat. It would go a long way to mend bridges.

"I think you have gotten a few new admirers."

Akeno giggled when she watched Ravel walk away. Koneko pouted while Issei just sighed.

"I beat her brother into a pulp and she falls in love with me. Make it make sense."

Akeno pinched his cheek and pulled a bit more.

"That's something that neither of us can do. But it does show the effects that from you, Issei-kun." Swatting her hand away, Issei was not in the mood to argue. He would sit back and let the women have their say.

There was a lot to be said and done. There were over fifty offerings of him becoming a Servant but he remained steadfast in not agreeing to those things. And it came down to Rias to turn a few overly assertive people down.

When the whole congratulations and talking was over, Rias decided it was time to stake her claim.

"Would you care to dance, Issei?"

Issei thanked mentally the people who had the patience to teach him.

"Of course." He led Rias through the place and she was amazed by the way he moved.

"You are full of surprises."

Issei chuckled.

"I think you should thank a few in the Vatican to teach me. I learned a lot from them." Rias found that in his arms, she was safe and there was no harm done.

It would take time before the world knew about their relationship. But they would make it work. That, she would make sure of.

Scene skip

The family of Rias watched their little girl dance with the Dragon who moved around. Zeoticus admired Issei's dancing when his wife didn't occupy him.

Sirzechs sat back, Grayfia right next to him, it was impossible to keep a smile on her face.

The last night played in her head and there would be no chance that they could repeat that same thing. It would have been too suspicious and she guessed that her sister would want to sleep in his bed tonight.

There were things to look forward to with a Dragon around and when the other girls asked for dances, he agreed.

Rias would never find a man in a monogamous relationship, that was just part of how Devils grew up. But in this situation, she now could agree that Issei was her choice.

And he was her choice as well.

Scene skip

When the party was finally over and the hour had gotten late, Issei felt fatigue hitting his system and longing for a warm, soft bed.

Preferably with a few attractive females but this time, from his choosing.

It didn't come as a surprise and they would be taking the train home, first thing in the morning.

But as the four girls that were with him, who had sworn themselves to him, didn't want to wait a minute longer, they now wanted to sleep next to him.

Therefore, Rias had her Peerage sans Kiba escort Issei to his room.

The [Knight] said goodbye to Issei in his own fashion before he would find his own room. Venelana did not think it'd be wise to protest her daughter's wishes, especially since Rias had not been able to do so before.

She trusted Rias to make sensible decisions and Issei to have a hint of self-preservation.

When they had said goodnight to the family of which Issei was now part, they would retire to the bedroom.

Asia and Koneko would be getting their pajama while Akeno and Rias had often to wear what they would usually wear for sleeping.

Sirzechs didn't lie, Rias did sleep naked.

That meant that Issei was able to see the most pristine, female beauty in Akeno and Rias. There was admiration in his sight but the longing to sleep took out all forms of lecherous behavior.

For a second, he was afraid that they would smell Grayfia and Sirzechs in the sheets but when he found them to be clean, he thanked the staff for their changing.

"So what is the most comfortable position?"

Despite how they looked, Rias and Akeno were surprisingly shy about how this would be the best way to sleep.

"If I can might make a suggestion. You two are physically the largest so I'd say you sleep on my arms while Asia and Koneko could have my stomach."

Issei was not the only one who felt tired from the day before so they didn't protest as they laid down next to him. Of course, when his arms circled around their bodies, they felt a certain security around them. Before Morpheus could one of them, Asia and Koneko got back.

The Former Nun found her place next to Rias as she felt arms encircling her and she could also feel Issei's stomach.

Koneko, on the other hand, crawled on his stomach and curled up like a kitten.

There wasn't exactly anything they had to say so all fell asleep, in a remarkable fast fashion.

All of them felt they were right where they belonged to be.

Scene skip

The goodbyes from Rias and her parents were a whole less formal than the greetings. Hugs, pecks, and hair ruffles were something that all young Devils and Dragon were subjected to.

There were some meaningful looks from Sirzechs and Grayfia to the young Dragon who was afraid of how that would turn out.

"Issei-kun, as thank you for your help on Rias and the fact that you are engaged, we have arranged something special for you. I think you'll come to like the surprise when you get back home."

Issei dreaded something but found that Sirzechs grinned at him.

"Don't worry. Nothing of your earthy possessions or housemates were hurt in the process."

Why didn't that reassure him?

"Oh and Rias. If you are all so inclined, you can all move into his place when you get home."

Issei hoped for Sirzechs that she didn't lie about damaging his place. There would be merry hell to pay if she had ruined his cars.

Scene skip

On the train home, Akeno and Asia had claimed Issei before Rias or Koneko could get a chance.

He lay comfortably in Akeno's lap with his hair being played with while the Yamato Nadeshiko giggled from the looks that she got. Koneko was nearly growing while Asia sat on his stomach, a weight he could deal with.

He did ask to avoid his ribs.

"Akeno, what are you doing with my fiancée? I believe that this is not a proper custom."

"Ara, ara. Rias, are you jealous? I do think that we have agreed to share Issei-kun. And he doesn't seem to mind."

The Dragon just laid back and winked at Rias.

"I have to keep things fair, Rias. This reminds me. I'll have to make this up to the Fallen Angels. Which brings us to another question."

Issei looked at the four women and his head turned to Kiba.

"Oi, Kiba. This is also involving you. So come over here." The [Knight] rose from his seat and walked over to the small group.

"Your sister told us you can start living at my place. I assume that you three are willing to take up that offer."

"YES!" Came in perfect unison while Kiba had the decency to laugh at that.

"Look, pall. I doubt it'd be improper if you didn't move in. If you all live under my roof, it'd make things a lot easier to move around. When we are there, we'll make ground rules. Like we have done in the clubroom."

"Ara, ara, Issei-kun seems to know much about those things."

He smirked when he looked up at Akeno.

"I had great teachers. Which also means that you'll have to live with the Fallen Angels. From what I have seen during our training, there was stellar behavior from them and from you. I think we can make it work."

His tone made it very clear that Issei would not like fights around the place if he could avoid that.

Scene skip

When Issei left Kuoh, he left behind a penthouse. Instead, he found out that he owned a mansion. Compared to the house of Rias, it was dwarfed in size but if he looked around the place, there was nothing that came close to his place.

He stood before his new house with the entire Peerage who could feel the annoyance radiate out of him.

Black wings, four on two and two on one, came out as they landed in front of him.

"Issei!"

"Issei-sama!"

Raynare and Kalawarner greeted their master with a proper hug while Mittelt kept her distance and made a shy wave.

"I suppose you ladies woke up and found the house completely altered like this."

"How did you?"

"Sirzechs-sama told me that she would remodel my house as a reward." His head turned to Rias, still annoyed by this action.

"We are going to talk to your sister when we see her again," Rias smirked when she heard those words.

"Oh, you can be sure about that, Issei."

"Issei, what is going on?" Raynare joined the Dragon and the [King]

"Raynare, Kalawarner, Mittelt. From now on, the Peerage of Rias Gremory are your new housemates."

There were a few moments of predictable silence before Mittelt shouted a deafening "WHAT?!" but Raynare just looked over to Rias.

"You're moving in with us?" Raynare crossed her arms beneath her sizeable bust.

"Is that a problem?" Rias mirrored her action as their eyes twinkled.

The Fallen Angel beauty pondered on that for a few seconds and then shook her head.

"Not at all. I think it will be a lot of fun to have you around."

Getting hugged by Rias was something she had to get used to but she would always welcome those eager hugs.

Raynare looked over her shoulder to the rest.

"All of you." The smiles that she got from the Devils made the idea even better.

Issei had found something of an inner peace when he looked at the group that he could call his own.

[Finally, a decent-sized harem. Now, start procreating offspring, will you.]

[One of these days, Albion, I swear.]

---

I will admit that this was an enjoyable and fun chapter to write out with many ideas that I wanted to see come true.

I wrote a large portion of this during my train ride to Leyden. I went to see The Burning Witches again.

Made good on my mistake in Diest, last May by having a photo with all five members. If I had known about signatures, I would have done something about that.

It was one hell of a party and I really enjoyed the trip.

The hours, long on the train, were also done on a laptop when I was writing. If only I had foreseen eating a bit more but I think that it was for the best that I went home on time.

It was past two a.m. when I got in my tent and by seven, I got up to go back home.

I hope I didn't forget anything because that would mean I would have to make the trip again.

I saw a few good groups before them. Fearwell, Cyclone, and Bodyfarm. All bands were from either Belgium or the Netherlands.

But that, my friends, didn't make this such a memorable event. No, I had a few chats with the band members and it's so freaking cool that they remembered me from Diest. It might help that I was wearing a cap and that my clothes were the same.

The guitarist and bassist told me about their tours and what else they had planned. I'm really happy with that.

It was just awesome to have that experience.

Those Ladies will grow, that I am sure of and with this, I have gotten close to them before they get there.

For those who are interested, they are going to play in the US and Canada, this winter.

Also, got a CD, a new tour shirt, and a few patches. Really should get my vests back in.

My best friend gets with me the next time they will play around in the Benelux.

With this chapter, there will be a new one in November. The schedule should work out if we end things like this.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and with this, a huge weight is lifted from my shoulders.

By the time this chapter comes out, I am going to see Wind Rose again. Luckily, a lot closer to home.

Saluut.
