A Week Later:
Azathoth Main Office, Azathoth Shipping Corporation:
Isaiah's POV:
It's been a week since our little trip with Rias and her peerage and I have to say, that trip was exactly what I needed. I felt refreshed, my mind and body were now at optimal condition and-
"Are you monologuing in your head again?" Kuroka's voice disturbed my thinking and I glanced at her amused/ teasing smirk as I sighed. And Kuroka keeps interrupting my grandiose daydreaming.
"Firstly, I do not monologue. I envision. Secondly, yes, I was before you so rudely interrupted it."
"If you did your work, then I wouldn't interrupt you." She said with her arms crossed and I raised an eyebrow.
"Already done and sent."
"Your meetings?"
"All done for the day."
"What about-!"
"My tea with Rias at 12? She moved it to 3 pm tomorrow saying that their teacher had a surprise test planned and she wouldn't be able to leave until at the very least 12:30." I said with a smug grin, Kuroka pouting as she huffed.
"You know, you're supposed to be the lazy, irresponsible CEO and I'm supposed to be the seductive, diligent secretary that rewards you with a nice time if you do your job well."
"…You've been reading Akeno's novels again, haven't you?" I asked with a deadpan stare, the blush and the glance to the side not helping her case as I chuckled.
"We can still do the nice time, although this time you're going to have to work for it." I said as I patted my lap, Kuroka all too eager as she skipped towards me before stopping as I raised my hand.
"No, no, no. I said work for it, remember?" I said with a smirk and she gave a sultry smile as she lowered herself to her hands and knees, crawling slowly across the carpeted floor as she licked her knees. My second eyebrow joined the first as she moaned softly while dragging her hands up my legs, gripping my thighs softly as she laid her head right onto my crotch while giving me a pleading stare.
"Please, oh please~ Let this little kitty have a taste of milk Master nya~" She moaned and I smirked before nodding, her eyes lighting up as she unbuckled my hands before fishing out my semi-erect cock, licking her lips. I let out a strangled groan as she latched her lip onto the head, resting my head on top of her ears before gasping as she sucked fervently.
You know, it's time like this I thank and praise the being that sent me here.
A few hours Later:
Isaiah's Room, Azathoth Manor:
"Really? Without us?" Akeno asked with a smirk and her arms crossed as she and Tsubaki walked into my room(or should I say our room), catching Kuroka sleeping away blissfully next to me.
"To be fair, I did tease her the entirety of the morning, so it didn't take long before she cracked." I said with a shrug, to which Akeno just rolled her eyes before both she and I smirked as Tsubaki undid her ponytail, letting her hair hang freely, and took off her blouse.
"I've been stressed with dealing with Issei and Saji, so either you're going to help me take my mind off it or I'm tying you to that bed and riding you until I'm fully satisfied."
"…See, this is why I said you shouldn't be lending out your books to everyone." I said with Akeno, groaning as she just giggled while unbuttoning her blouse.
"You were the one who told me to share and she's not wrong. I'm feeling a little thirsty as well." She said with a smirk as she took off shirt, making her chest jiggle, and I sighed with a smirk before chuckling as Kuroka jumped up with a cheer.
"Yay~! They're not mad at me!"
"No, we're not, but you're still not allowed to join until round 5."
"What?!" She exclaimed in horror before letting out a pleasured gasp as I spanked her hard, falling back onto the bed as paralysis runes spread across her body.
"Don't be greedy. If I didn't place those on you, you'd want to join in no matter the cost. This way, everyone is satisfied." I said as she gave me a betrayed glare before my attention was away from her as Akeno latched onto my cock while Tsubaki licked away at my balls.
Yeah, I'm definitely thanking whatever being brought me to this world.
A Day Later:
Azathoth Training Ground:
3rd Person POV:
Explosions ripped across the training ground as Isaiah, Samson and Bardou clashed. Samson wrapped his chains around Isaiah before gasping as Bardou smashed a fist into his chest, giving the King enough time to unravel himself from the chains and land a sparking hook kick to the back of his head.
Bardou took advantage of Isaiah hitting Samson to appear behind his King, Isaiah grinning as he easily ducked out of the way before groaning as a hammer fist smashed into his chest and sent him flying into Bardou.
He was quick to recover as Bardou tried to take him down with him, slapping his hands away and using him as a springboard to flip over Samson's roundhouse. Samson's eyes widened as Isaiah spun through the air before stomping down hard, catching him in the middle of his back and making him crash into Bardou before both peerage members were sent crashing into the ground.
"Lord Isaiah wins. The score is 5 for Bardou, 12 for Samson and 15 for Lord Isaiah." Valerie announced with a smirk, Samson and Bardou groaning as they pulled themselves from a crater while Isaiah chuckled as he landed on the ground.
"Nice work on using the distraction to your advantage, Bardou." Isaiah said, to which Bardou just chuckled as he transformed back to his quadrupedal hound form.
"Still wasn't able to take you out, but I'll take what I can get." He said before groaning as soon as he stepped on his injured front right paw, giving Valerie a thankful smile as a white glow covered his body and healed all of his injuries, Samson and Isaiah both giving Valerie a thankful nod as the same white glow covered them.
"Thanks for that, Val. Now, what's next on the agenda?" He asked Kuroka who was lounging away under the sun, to which she just pulled out her phone and scrolled through it.
"You have a request from one 'Hisoka Shimura AKA Best Buddy' and then, your tea with Rias later this afternoon." "
Who is this Hisoka, Lord Isaiah? Is he as powerful as you are?" Samson asked with an excited grin, making me chuckle as I shook my head.
"No, not at all. Hisoka is just a normal human who is also the first and only client I made when I started doing my request work in the Human Realm." I said with a smile.
"Ah, I see. So, if he is not strong, then what is he?" Samson asked with a frown, to which I just smirked and shrugged.
"I suppose you can call him wise since he seems to have a solution for about everything." I said, making him nod before I turned to Kuroka
. "Cancel all meetings I have for the day. Knowing Rias, this is going to be a peerage meeting, which means it might take all day."
"Will do, Isa." She said with a lazy salute, making me chuckle as the Azathoth crest appeared under me before I teleported away, off to see what Hisoka wants.
Knowing him, though, it's probably going to be another gaming request.
Later that day, Afternoon:
ORC Clubroom:
Isaiah's POV:
"Thanks, love." I thanked Akeno as I took the cup of tea from her, making her smile as she nodded before picking up her own and sitting down on the sofa besides me.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start with the annual peerage meeting. First order of business, the number of contracts everyone got. Isaiah is in last with his 1 contract, then comes Asia with a surprising 8, Koneko with 17, Akeno with 82 and finally, a congratulations to Gasper who has been working his butt off as he went from just 18 contracts to a staggering 143 contracts."
"Woo." Koneko cheered as the blushing Gasper nodded, making me chuckle as I patted him on the head and Akeno and Rias clapped.
"Secondly, the amount of earnings. Asia has made $1800, Koneko has made $15,000, Akeno has made $48,000, Gasper has made a little over $129,000 and Isaiah…you've only starting doing contracts recently, so how did you make $328,000?"
"Turns out, having the one and only trading company of Japan as your client gives you a lot of money." I said with a chuckle and a shrug, making Rias sigh as she shook her head while Akeno giggled at my side.
"Moving on. Next up is the Stray Devil appearance rate in Kuoh Town and I would like to say that the Gremory peerage's part of the city has had a decrease of 17% of Stray Devils in our territory. Give yourselves a round of applause for that." We all clapped and Rias smiled as she continued.
"And with that said, let's move on to the Grem-!"
*KNOCK* *KNOCK* Rias cut off by knocking on the door, making me frown slightly as I stood up and walked towards it, feeling four presences behind it. Opening it up slightly, I smiled as I saw Sona and Tsubaki standing behind it before glancing at the two other cloaked people standing behind them.
"Good afternoon, Isaiah. Is Rias here?" I glanced back into the room, where Rias sighed and nodded, waving for me to open the door.
"Indeed she is. Please, come in." I said with a smile as I fully opened the door, Sona, Tsubaki and the two hooded people walking into the room.
"Sorry for interrupting your meeting, but these two young ladies have some urgent business with you." Sona said as she gestured towards the two, who lowered their hoods to reveal a blue-haired girl and a girl with chestnut-brown hair done up in pigtails.
'Irina Shidou and Xenovia Quarta. Their auras ain't that bad.' Irina was a little bit weaker than I was expecting, but Xenvoia…oh, she was definitely on the level I expected the wielder of Durandal to be.
"Thanks you for bringing them here, Sona." Rias said with a smile, to which she nodded before walking back out, with me smiling at them as Sona nodded and Tsubaki gave me a quick kiss before following after her King as I closed the door softly behind them.
Walking to stand near the windows, I smirked as they noticed Gasper hopping to sit next to the door inside his box along with Koneko, both of them playing on their PPS's, though they were still keeping a close eye on the duo.
"So, may I ask what you two lovely ladies are doing in my city? Oh, where are my manners? Please take a seat." Rias said with a smile as she stood up and sat down on the sofa facing me with Akeno and Asia standing behind her, making both girls frown slightly before they sat down on the sofa opposite the one she was sitting on, forcing them to turn their backs towards me.
"Well, a few days ago, three of the Excalibur fragments were stolen from the Orthodox, the Protestant and the Catholic churches and we've tracked the blades to Kuoh Town." Irina explained with a smile, missing Xenovia's slight frown at her revealing information.
"So, you're thinking it's us?" Rias asked with a slight frown, with it deepening as Irina shook her head.
"No, we already know who it was. We just came to tell you all to stay out of the way." She said happily and I stifled my laughter as Akeno gave the disgruntled Rias an amused smirk.
"I…see. Forgive my questioning, but if you can, may you please tell me who the perpetrator is exactly?"
"Kokabiel, the Fallen Cadre of the Stars." Xenovia said bluntly, making everyone's eyes widen as I chuckled, drawing their attention.
"Something funnny, fiend?" Xenovia asked with a frown and I smirked as I shook my head.
"Not at all. It just baffles me that the Vatican would give Kokabiel more power by sending two weaklings to face him. I assume the Holy auras I'm getting from the package on your back and your wrist are two more Excalibur pieces, correct?" I said with a smirk as I pointed at Xenovia's back and Irina's wrist respectively, both girls frowning as Xenovia gave a slow nod.
"You must be the Isaiah Azathoth the Church warned us about."
"Oh? I did not think that I was powerful enough for the Vatican to be wary of me?" I said with a look of surprise, making Xenovia frown as Irina smiled and nodded.
"Yep, you are! According to the Pope, you are a vile fiend that seduces maidens to increase your power and take their maidenhoods, which is the reason why you're so powerful as you've taken the maidenhoods of thousands of nuns and maidens."
"…What kind of fucked-up shit are you guys spreading about me?" I asked with a look of shock, the two exorcists just looking confused as everyone else giggled and laughed at their words.
"So, you don't have a horde of slimes that captures girls with their tentacles and binds them to let you do whatever you want to them?"
"…No." I muttered with a sigh and both girls nodded as Xenovia took out a notebook and wrote down on it.
"Good to know. Now, if you'll excuse us, I'd rather not sit in the filth of devils any longer."
"Oh, believe me. Having to smell the stench of your vile holy breath is revolting to say the least." Rias said with a smile, Xenovia just nodding as both she and Irina stood up to walk out before catching sight of Asia, who flinched slightly as Akeno moved her slightly behind her with a frown.
"Aren't you-!"
"Listen, ladies. You didn't want to be in our presence, right? So, please leave or else, the Vatican is going to receive a very nice gift sent from the Gremory peerage." I whispered to the two frozen exorcists with a smile as I appeared in between them, twin Holy-Demonic daggers aimed at their throats while Gasper's eyes were glowing a bright orange, Akeno's hands were covered in sparks and Koneko's tails and ears were out. The two nodded and I smiled as my daggers disappeared, patting the both of them on the back and leading them out the door before Gasper and Koneko closed it behind them.
"You okay there, Asia?" I asked, to which she gave a shaky smile and nodded, making me smile before Rias clapped her hands.
"Now, then. Who wants to go on a shopping trip to forget about all of that? My treat."
"Nope, I'm not being the bag mule again." I denied instantly as I walked out, chuckling as Gasper quickly rushed out after me.
"They tried to tempt you with ice cream, didn't they?"
"Chocolate chip with vanilla swirls." He muttered and I chuckled as I patted him on the head.
"Come on. I'll go buy you some." His eyes lit up and a happy grin appeared on his face before he nodded, making me chuckle as we walked out of the Old School Building.
Later that day, Night:
Abandoned Church on the Outskirts of Town:
3rd Person POV:
"So, they sent two exorcist girls to come and fetch the Excalibur Blades? Not Vasco or Ewald or Dulio? Father Almighty, I'd even take Griselda at this point." A handsome man asked with a frown, his pale skin shining under the moonlight as his long black hair hung to his back. His crimson eyes shone in the darkness of the room as he was dressed in a black robe with detailed accessories and purple shoulder pads with gold streaks on the sides. On his back were ten black wings, all tucked into his body as the man sat on a throne placed at the back of the church.
"Unfortunately, yes, my lord. They sent two girls that each possess an Excalibur piece." An old man with silver hair dressed in a pope outfit said with a frown, making the handsome man sigh as he shook his head.
"Fine. What about Freed? How goes his progress with mastering the blades?" The man asked, to which the pope smiled gleefully as he nodded.
"Ah, yes. Young Freed seems to have taken to the Light Containers you gave him nicely as he completely mastered the abilities of the different blades, though he seems to have a preference for the Excalibur Rapidly."
"Good, good! And what about our little side project, Valper?" The man asked, to which the old priest Valper grinned as he nodded.
"That project is doing very well, Lord Kokabiel. Currently, 60% of your forces ave undertaken the project, although only 0,5% of those who undertook it has survived."
"So what you're telling me is that 219 000 of my 365 000 men & women have undertaken the process…and yet only 1095 of those have survived?" Kokabiel asked with a frown, his frown deepening as Valper gave a slightly nervous nod.
"Hah, fine then. I suppose all experiments will have failures, but do try to keep the death toll as low as possible."
"Of course, Lord Kokabiel." Valper said with a bow, Kokabiel nodding before he smirked as he looked up at the moonlit sky.
"Just a few more days and the Great War shall rip through the realms once more!" Kokabiel exclaimed with a grin, his ominous laughter echoing through the church as the moon slowly disappeared behind the clouds.
A/N: And there we go! Another slow chapter, because my brain can't seem to make up how to write this!
I'll have to reread Volume 3 and read the wiki just to figure out how to write this since I realized how much the canon of the story fucks with this part of the timeline.
Anyway, as always, read, enjoy, review and until the next one…
Ba-Bye~!
