Welcome to the next chapter of The Twin Dragons, but before starting. Let us answer some reviews:
altajir95: Thanks. Yes, together those four are almost close to finishing the restoration of the abandoned Church. Kazuki was able to get approval for the upcoming Newspaper Club and have Ravel attend their Classroom Visits to look around the school. Saji is also started to become more open about all emotions he has towards Kazuki. Those two showed off their swimsuits without showing much skin. And in the end, Vali did show himself.
Lorenzo Macchiavelli: Same, I'm going to love writing the scenes with Ravel, her mother, and Serafall, all being at Kuoh Academy. I can see a lot of things that Serafall has to speak with Kazuki about concerning him and Sona's "relationship".
MCRasengan: Thanks. I don't know if I'll be continuing the Magic Knight.
Guest: I can completely see and understand Kazuki snapping like that.
streetlife34: I thought about that one too, and Ddraig mentioned that Issei being a virgin had gotten him in trouble that time around.
Guest 2: I have an idea about who Kazuki would end up encountering whenever he starts diving inside of Divine Dividing.
Guest 3: If Kazuki had a voice actor, then the Japanese one would be Nobunaga Shimazaki who'd voiced Yuno from Black Clover. And the English one would be Todd Haberkorn who voiced Layfon from Chrome Shelled Regios, Natsu from Fairy Tail, and Death the Kid from Soul Eater.
Guest 4: You guessed right, that's going to be coming up at some point. It does sound like a good idea for an arc, but considering she's an angel, I doubt they'll do that.
Classroom Visit
Tomorrow came, which would be the time of the Classroom Visits, where the parents and/or guardians would be brought to witness their children's classroom activities firsthand. Standing outside of the Hyoudou Residences all dressed for school, were Kazuki, Asia, Issei, and Rias, all of which were staring at the matriarch in charge.
"Ise. Kazuki. Asia-chan. I'll come later with Otou-san."
Miki said, staring at the three mentioned, who she treated as her children.
"Alright, Kaa-chan."
Kazuki replied while Asia smiled at the idea of Miki coming to school to see them.
The Hyoudou matriarch's eyes appeared to be sparkling in anticipation for this moment, being invested in seeing all three of them, more so Kazuki and Asia doing good work in school. Even their father was taking this time for a paid vacation from his job to see them too. Having said their typical responses, the group started heading toward Kuoh Academy.
As Kazuki and Asia were walking side-by-side towards school, their hands looked to be inches from one another, which linked together for a moment. From that, the two glanced towards one another with flushed cheeks as if a similar thought was entering their mind. And it concerned whether or not the two would end up holding hands, but the two looked too embarrassed to press forward with it.
"Ugh, why am I acting all embarrassed from holding hands?"
Kazuki asked himself while scratching the back of his head.
"Uh, I kinda want to hold Kazuki-san's hand."
Asia thought to herself while poking her fingers together.
While both of them were thinking about that, Issei and Rias were walking side-by-side not looking forward to the Classroom Visit. And for good and personal, but different reasons. It was usual for Classroom Visits to be about an open house to see their children act in classes, while the upperclassmen set an example for their kouhai. It's not the same for Issei and Rias; the former knew that both parents would be more focused on Kazuki and Asia, and the latter was embarrassed.
"Ugh, I don't know the point of this. I'm not the person my parents are going to be the most focused on."
Issei complained while continuing forward towards school.
"You're lucky, Ise. I know that my father and brother will be focused on me the entire time, and will embarrass me as much as possible."
Rias complained while looking downward flustered.
Both of them weren't looking forward to what was going to be happening during the Classroom Visits, while their parents and/or sibling would be there. But, neither of them had a choice in the matter as both of them needed to attend for different reasons.
It didn't take all that long for their group to separate and head to their respective classrooms while waiting for the parents and/or guardians to arrive. In the classroom where Issei, Kazuki, and the others were in, the group sat in their chairs thinking about what would end up happening. Since Xenovia started attending school, she became a lot more popular than she would've guessed among male and female students. It was obvious that it was because she was beautiful, but no one guessed it'd be because she's quite physically inclined too.
"Are your parents coming, Ise?"
Matsuda asked, turning his attention toward Issei who sighed.
"Yeah. More like, both mom and dad said they are coming to see Kazuki and Asia."
"Ah, I understand," Matsuda responded, nodding his head in understanding. "If Asia-chan is your daughter, then you would want to come to see her by all means. And then there's your bastard brother."
"Both our parents were both married when we were born. If you're going to insult me, then at least get your facts right."
Kazuki stated, from his desk without turning to face him.
"That was rude, Matsuda-san. Kazuki-san isn't one."
Asia added, being mad, if not cute about it as she glared at Matsuda who seemed flustered.
"Ugh, I'm sorry. Don't look at me like that, Asia-chan."
Matsuda said apologizing for the entire thing.
Issei couldn't disagree with the fact that anyone who had a daughter like Asia, couldn't resist heading out to their class to see her.
"This sort of thing is a first for me so I am excited about these visits."
"I could see that, Asia-chan. I know that Kaa-chan and Tou-san would be looking forward to seeing you here and I know that they would be proud of you."
Kazuki replied, sending a genuine smile at Asia.
She didn't give a response, but smiled and became flustered at the thought of being the kind of daughter that the two adults who treated her with genuine compassion.
"Ah, right. Yuuma-chan, who's coming for you?"
Kazuki asked, using Raynare's alias considering that the other students were around them.
"Um, I think that my dad will be coming," Raynare replied, speaking in the tone that the students around her have become accustomed to. "He had a little bit of time off work, so he'll be coming to the school to see me during our classroom visits. So, lucky me, right?"
Raynare happily replied as she continued conversing with them, as well as the other students around them; two of them being Katase and Murayama.
As a fallen angel, and former pure angel, Raynare didn't have a parent in the most conventional sense. However, as Yuuma Amano, she had a parent, a father who was acting as her guardian and sending her money, while she was living in town. And so, she would be having someone from Grigori pretending to be her father.
Just as their group was having their conversation, Xenovia started approaching Issei, who was talking with two of his best friends and Aika. The sole female, who could be described as the female version of Issei was looking on while smiling to herself.
"Ise."
"Hmm, what's wrong, Xenovia?"
Issei asked, noting that Xenovia was being quite apologetic about something.
"Sorry for saying that sort of thing suddenly the other day."
Xenovia replied.
It didn't take long for even him to realize what Xenovia was talking about, which concerned what happened at the pool. Issei did end up receiving a tongue lashing from the others about what happened, and that wasn't the best moment for him. But, it wasn't something she needed to apologize for.
"I kept on speaking without thinking about you."
Xenovia added as the people around them were wondering what was being talked about.
"Suddenly doing that kind of thing is difficult after all, I think."
Issei replied as naturally as possible, knowing that things of this nature would be surprising for others to hear.
"And so, it is for that reason and after discussing things with a friend I made here," Xenovia said as she started to go through her pockets, then pulled out multiple familiar items. "We should practice using these."
"…?!"
Issei looked forward from a mixture of shock and confusion because he recognized the items immediately.
All the item packets in Xenovia's hands were condoms, causing the entire class' attention to be drawn toward the scene, while Aika burst out laughing.
"…I-IdiooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOT," Issei declared out loud as Xenovia seemed to react to it while holding out her hands as if to defend herself. "W-What are you taking out in front of the public!?"
"Dammit, Hyoudou! Xenovia just got here!"
"It's bad enough that you have Rias-senpai and Akeno-senpai around you! But, you're taking the new student!"
""Die, Ise!""
The male students who heard those comments turned their hatred towards Issei, the same as Motohama and Matsuda who witnessed the entire thing.
"Eh, Xenovia-san and Hyoudou?!"
"She just got here and he's sinking his fangs in her!"
"Xenovia-san mentioned she wasn't aware of social trends! So, Hyoudou must've tricked her into a relationship!"
"Yes, that must be it!"
Those were the comments Issei was receiving from the female students who were sending him intense stares.
"Screw you guys!"
Issei shouted, stomping on his desk while glaring at all of them.
"In the place I lived in, there were disputes about using this," Xenovia said, recalling all the things that she heard in the Church, or at least rumors about things of this nature. She switched to looking more reassured. "But, in using this in Japan, it would be more convenient practice without certain risks."
"To be looked at in that way, me and you…. It isn't bad for me I think, but think about the time and place!"
Issei was fuming more about the fact she said this in front of the class, rather than the fact she was suggesting it. While recovering from what just happened in front of him, Xenovia turned her attention to Asia remained standing in the same position looking confused about the situation. In noticing that, the blue-haired young woman handed two of the condoms.
"Here take these Asia…and, uh, Yuuma," Xenovia said tilting her head to the side, in looking at Raynare, who in response to that nodded her head. "It's good for Asia to use it as well. I learned unplanned sexual intercourse will end up hurting you and Kazuki in the future. Yuuma would need to be safer too. The relationship between men and women is difficult."
"Uh, thanks?"
Raynare was unaware of how she should be acting now.
"Um, what do I do with…?"
"Uh, Asia-chan that is…."
Before Kazuki even could react, which was surprising, Aika went beside her and started whispering something to Asia. Once she was finished, Asia's face turned bright red as soon as the information reached her ears to where it seemed as if smoke seeped from her head. Reacting to this, Asia seemed faint, but Kazuki ended up catching her before she fell.
"Asia-chan…."
"…I knew…I wanted to…that with…Kazuki…san…. …a…lot…need…learn…."
Asia was speaking incoherently while looking upwards at the ceiling as if asking for a message from the heavens themselves. Raynare sat beside her, then started waving her hands in an attempt to cool her down from the thought roaring in her head.
"My my, Asia-chan seems to be having some interesting thoughts."
Aika started smiling.
"Nii-san control your female clone."
Kazuki commented while staring at Issei and Aika.
""What does that mean?! I'm nothing like her/him!"
Ironically, Issei and Aika declared that at the same time, while pointing angrily at Kazuki, who gave them a blank expression. In response to this, the male and female pervert started looking flustered, before looking in another direction instead.
It wasn't long until class started, with their English Teacher leading his students' parents inside the classroom in an orderly fashion. Seeing their children sitting down behind their desks, some parents gave waves or nods after seeing them. Among the parents who entered the classroom, Goro and Miki entered the room, giving immediate waves towards their children (at least, in regards to Kazuki and Asia).
"Hmm, I never thought about what it would feel like to have a parent. Well, I wasn't born, rather created might be the closest thing. I wonder who Azazel-sama ended up…."
Raynare's thoughts were interrupted as she heard conversation coming from outside.
"Ara, I never thought such a handsome man would be a parent."
"I happen to be a single mother."
"Me too!"
"Hahaha, I didn't think I'd end up being hit on coming here to see my baby girl."
"Wait, a second."
Raynare paled as she recognized the male voice approaching the classroom.
She wasn't alone as Kazuki, Issei, Asia, and Xenovia recognized the male's voice too, which was turning into physical recognition as he entered the classroom. Walking into the classroom, while having three single moms all on him was Azazel dressed in a professional/casual suit. Raynare was looking on, doing a spit take, witnessing her boss of all people entering the classroom, and acting as her parent.
"Ah, there's my beloved daughter. Hey, Yuuma-chan."
Azazel called out, heartily waving his hand.
"I-I-I'm good, T-T-Tou-chan," Kazuki and the others could tell that Raynare was straining to keep up her Yuuma persona. And that reaction caused him to realize that she had no idea that Azazel was going to be the one doing this. "What's Azazel-sama doing here?! I thought that it was going to be someone else from Grigori!"
'Ah, Raynare. I prepared all the information needed for you to be transferred into Kuoh Academy as a student.'
'Right, Azazel-sama. Ah, what do I need to mention about parents?'
'Ah, don't be concerned about that. Just mention that you living there alone at the moment, while your father is working overseas and sending money for living expenses. I'll have someone in mind playing the part.'
Raynare recalled the conversation she had with Azazel, while also recalling the smile he was wearing near the end of the conversation.
"He never mentioned anything other than that, and never allowed me to look at the paperwork."
As Raynare was panicking in her head at the thought of Azazel pretending to be her father while keeping up her Yuuma persona.
"Ah, you're Yuuma-chan's father."
Miki stated, smiling as Azazel looked at both Issei's and Kazuki's parents.
"That I am. I hope my daughter has been enjoying her time here, she mentioned that she became good friends with Kazuki-kun," Azazel replied, shaking Goro's hand. "I'm happy to hear that you've taken quite a liking to Asia-chan too. She was caught in a terrible situation with her living situation before I found her."
"Asia-chan has been a good daughter to us. She's adorable and helpful! She learned almost all the things that I taught her when it comes to cooking and being a good wife too."
Miki said excitedly, causing Asia to blush at the compliment.
"Yes, Asia-chan has become like a third child to us. I'm happy she decided to live with us."
"Same here. I'm also interested in Kazuki-kun's potential after hearing about him from Yuuma-chan, who I think is a bit taken by him," Azazel said, causing Raynare to bash her forehead against her desk holding in her desire to scream out as loud as possible. "Hahaha, that daughter of mine is quite embarrassed about admitting feelings. It makes it so far for her to admit she loves being pampered like a princess."
"I'm sorry, Raynare."
Kazuki thought in his head, almost wanting to pet the fallen angel on the back. But, realized that would make it a lot worse in this particular situation.
"Uhhhhhh, he's having too much fun! Pleaaaase, stop doing this to meeeee, Azazel-sama!"
Raynare turned in a direction she knew no one would be looking as her face was turning bright red, holding the desire to smash her hands against her desk. But, stopped, knowing if she did that, it would shatter into pieces. In that situation, it would almost be worth it.
But, the doting father act seemed to be working, which helped more considering that Azazel himself was a good-looking man with a mysterious air around him. And much to Raynare's happiness the teacher started classes as soon as all the parents entered the classroom.
Though, instead of the normal lessons, their English Teacher started placing one block of PVC clay in front of all the students. It was different from regular lessons as the students would often attempt to speak English and write in it too, but the teacher was doing this instead. He looked more energetic because the parents were watching all their children's lessons and stood in front of the class.
"Alright, class. Try making something you like with the PVC clay that I handed to you just now. An animal is fine. A person is fine. A house is fine," their English Teacher explained as the class realized that based on the smile and expression on his was, he was attempting to show off. "Whatever image you're thinking about in your mind right now, try making it into a shape. That sort of English conversation is also there. Let's try it!"
A gave a bright smile as their teacher spoke that part in English, which was the one thing that matched the class.
[No, there isn't.]
That was the same thought that ran through the minds of the students while giving their English Teacher a blank expression. But, there wasn't much choice in this situation as the students were going to need to do this right in class with their parents.
"I-It's difficult."
Asia was the first to start going this as she worked on the clay positioned in front of her.
"Asia-chan, keep going!"
"Asia-chan, you're looking cute!"
Miki and Goro cheered while standing in the back with the others. Issei turned his attention there, where he had noted his father pointing the camera at Asia, in particular. Hearing their cheers caused Asia to gain much more of her confidence in this activity. Following Asia's example, the other students started performing the same act and started sculpting using their clay.
But, Issei looked to be having issues in what he was supposed to be sculpting, while glancing to the side and had witnessed Kazuki sculpting an accurate depiction of Albion. Kazuki himself looked to be doing it with nothing, but his depiction of the Heavenly Dragon.
[Sculpting me is a surprise.]
"Well, I do have an accurate depiction of you considering that you had a habit of making an appearance whenever I had a dream," Kazuki replied in his head while smiling. "Because of that, I gained a better understanding of you as Albion, the Heavenly Dragon. So, I thought that I'd take this as a thank you."
[….]
Albion remained silent, but Kazuki smiled knowing that he wasn't the kind of person who expressed emotions aside from logic and seriousness.
"This is amazing, Hyoudou-kun."
His English Teacher seemed impressed by Kazuki sculpting a perfect replica of Albion standing with pride, and spreading out his angelic wings. Staring at the sculpture, Miki and Goro looked on surprised and proud about the work of art their youngest child had made.
"That's amazing, Kazuki!"
"That's my son!"
Kazuki was almost embarrassed at the responses that he was receiving from his parents, who seemed emotional at that moment. His father was pointing the camera at him, then Kazuki turned around to find Asia managing to sculpt something that looked like Raikou. Noticing him staring at her caused Asia to gain red cheeks, then turned her head downwards from embarrassment.
Not wanting to embarrass her, Kazuki turned from her so that she could finish, then turned to Raynare and found her sculpting a beautiful-looking crow. He turned to find Xenovia sculpting her precious Durandal pierced into a pedestal as if it was the Sword in the Stone. And last, but not least, he turned towards his older brother and was surprised about what he was witnessing.
Not so surprising, Issei was wearing a perverted smile, but the surprising thing was that his hands were working at a quick pace. Kazuki didn't need to guess what Issei was sculpting based on the body type, then turned his head in an attempt to be respectful.
"H-Hyoudou-kun?!"
His teacher looked surprised as he leaned in front of Issei while staring at the sculpting.
"Eh?"
Issei looked down in surprise, realizing that he sculpted a perfect replica of a nude Rias.
"W-Wonderful…. Hyoudou-kun. To think that you had this sort of talent…," their English Teacher looked on with surprise, with tears soaking his eyes. "This class was the right choice after all. Once again I was able to draw out a student's hidden ability…."
Their English Teacher looked on proud of himself for bringing out Issei's hidden talent, but Issei stared straight at his teacher with a blank expression. Witnessing the beautiful work of art depicting the most popular senpai inside in school caused an uproar from the students.
[Ooh!]
The students let out a surprised look while gathering around Issei staring at the lifelike Rias sculpture he created himself.
"T-That is Rias-senpai? Shit! As I thought, Ise you rascal! With senpai…!"
"No way! Rias-oneesama with that beast…!"
"5000!"
"No, 6000!"
"I'll pay 7000! I'll be skillful with Gremory-senpai's body!"
"Don't joke with me! I'll buy it! Tonight she'll keep me company! 8000!"
The English Class turned into an auction for the Rias Sculpture that Issei made himself, his friends, Matsuda and Motohama being among the people desiring it. But, Issei was too aware of those two planned on doing with it if either managed to get their hands on it. There appeared to also be some conversation from the other parents, who were complimenting Miki and Goro on what Issei had done.
Both of them smiled too, then started recording the entire thing, something that the parents planned on doing in the first place too. Because, even if he was the embodiment of sexual desires, Issei was still their firstborn son.
During their Lunch Period, Kazuki, Raynare, Asia, and Issei found themselves heading out to get some drinks out of a vending machine. On their end, it was more to give the fallen angel some breathing room from Azazel, who'd been taking the doping parent role a bit far. It was then that their group ran into Rias and Akeno, both who looked to have come up with the same idea.
From there, Issei showed his two senpais the Rias sculpting that he crafted, causing the muse herself to hold it in her hands. As the three of them were doing that, Kazuki, Raynare, and Asia got their drinks, while the two started consoling the fallen angel.
"It is well made."
Rias said, marveling at the statue in her hands, while her Queen leaned down right beside her.
"Ara ara, as expected of Ise-kun who looks and touches Buchou's body every day."
Akeno added, noting all the details and curves of Rias' voluptuous build could be possible from all of the contacts that the two had been in since the first time they met. And it wasn't surprising as Issei tends to burn the memories of all the nude women he meets into his memories.
"Would you make one for me as well next time," Akeno asked, turning a seductive look at Issei, while started to run a hand across her voluptuous build, which was as good or better than Rias' If you want to reproduce my body I will remove my clothes. You can touch me all you want~"
"…!"
Issei started feeling his imagination starting to run wild at the thought of that, then went on to agree to that until a single hand from Rias silenced him.
"No, you don't."
Rias replied seriously, turning her sharp gaze at Akeno and Issei, the former looked amused, while the latter was afraid of Rias' expression.
"Ah, Kazuki-san did Ravel-san manage to arrive here?"
Asia asked, recalling that Ravel wanted to come here too, to see the classes in an attempt to examine the school environment with her mother.
"Yea, Ravel-san did come here too with her mother," Kazuki revealed to them all. "But, since she'll be entering as a first-year student, I think that both of them went to Koneko-chan's classroom. We should be running into her at one point, though."
"That's good. I think that it would be great if Ravel-san came here too."
Asia said, showing no issue in having Ravel shown their school too and was even looking forward to it.
As their group was standing around there, a bunch of students holding cameras could be seen running in a certain direction. A notable situation like that caught their attention as there appeared to be something that could attract this much attention. Among the students, Kiba and Mariah could be seen walking in the same direction as the miniature paparazzi ran.
"Ah, Kiba, Mariah. Is there something going on over there?"
Rias asked, noticing them.
"No, for some reason I heard a witch was doing a photography event so I thought to see it a bit."
"It was so weird. Someone from my class said she was dressed as a magical girl."
Kiba and Mariah replied, pointing towards that specific direction.
"Ah, a witch, magical girl?"
Issei looked confused as he tilted his head to the side confused.
"Oh, maou."
Rias seemed to have been attracted more to the phrase magical girl and because her brother and father were here too. She placed a hand on her forehead while wondering what was going to happen next.
"Ara, this is going to be interesting."
Akeno also looked to have known who this "magical girl" was.
"Ah, I don't think Sona-senpai is going to be happy about this."
Issei and Asia seemed confused about this, while Raynare didn't appear to be too invested in the conversation at all. But, their answer would soon be answered as their group would be heading in that direction, where all the students were rushing to take photos of the magical girl.
[Kaccha! Kaccha!]
Once their group entered the wide area, where the men holding cameras were positioned. In front of them, a real beautiful twin-tailed black-haired, blue-eyed, dressed in a pink magical girl outfit holding a magical staff inside her hands. She was doing various energetic poses while standing on the steps. All the men standing there excitedly took photos of the magical girl, whose skirt was short enough to see her panties.
It was that, which attracted their attention of them the most as their eyes seemed to turn into hearts as she blew a kiss into the crowd.
"Ah."
Rias placed a hand on her forehead while staring at the scene in front of her.
"Ufufu."
Akeno seemed amused, placing a hand in front of her mouth.
"Uh, Buchou, do you know who that is…?"
Issei reasoned, noting Rias' and Akeno's reaction then looked to see that even Kazuki seemed to have realized who the magical girl was too.
"Hey hey! You, who's doing a photography shoot on a public path!"
Just then, Saji came in before an answer could come out as he started as the massive group of students holding cameras in their hands. Despite their rockier start, he and Issei managed to become good friends following their confrontation with Excalibur. He didn't appear to register their presence as he was focused on instead doing his job as a member of the Student Council.
[Come on, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!]
"Hey, disperse! Today's the day for displaying classes to the public! Don't make a ruckus at this kind of place!"
Saji called out, showing more of an intense tone in his voice.
Hearing this from someone from the Student Council, the crowd had no other options, but to disperse knowing all of them could get into trouble. Saji sighed as all of the students started going along with their business, then went to the magical girl seemed disappointed.
"You too, please don't wear that kind of costume," Saji said, staring at the obvious magical girl cosplay. Guessing there's a chance she could be here for the same reason as the others, he asked. "Wait, are you a parent, relative, or guardian to someone here? Even if that's the case, you know we have a dress code according to the school's regulations. This is troublesome."
"Eh, but this is my uniform~"
The magical girl replied smiling.
"Ah, Saji."
Rias tried getting his attention, knowing someone of Saji's ranking wouldn't and shouldn't be attempting to talk to the young woman in that manner.
"Ah, Rias-senpai. I just came here after guiding around Sirzechs-sama and Gremory-sama."
Saji replied, turning to face her.
Rias herself turned to find her father and brother standing at a distance while smiling and waving their hands at their beloved daughter and/or sister. In seeing that, she started becoming flustered and turned her attention from them in embarrassment. It was to the point that Saji turned around to continue instructing the young woman about their school regulation, but stopped after hearing a door bang open.
Bang!
"Serafall-sama! I told you before that you can't disappear like that!"
A familiar voice reached their ears, as Kazuki turned to see Lucina looking miffed and as if she had run here just to find the magical girl now named Serafall.
"Ah, Lu-chan! You ended up finding me!"
Serafall replied, smiling.
"Serafall-sama this isn't a game of hide-and-seek. If I ended up losing you, then how am I going to face Grayfia-obasama!"
Lucina approached Serafall, while to others it looks like someone disciplining a child.
""Eh, did she just say Serafall-sama?!""
Issei and Saji managed to get that out, recalling the name before.
Both of them were well aware that Lucina was the Queen of Serafall Leviathan, and it would mean that the magic girl in front of them was one of the Four Maou. But, the situation did look as if the Queen was being the far more mature one instead.
"Saji, did you settle things here?"
Suddenly, Sona came walking towards them with Lady Phenex and Ravel behind her.
"Ah, Kazu-sama!"
Ravel called out, smiling after noticing him standing there and causing him to wave his hand smiling. In response to that and realizing her reaction, she blushed, then started walking forward, while her mother placed her hand in front of her mouth laughing.
"Ah, Kazuki-kun. It seems as if I found you all here," Sona said before turning to both the blonde-haired woman right beside her. "I was leading Lady Phenex and Ravel-san through the school."
"Thanks for keeping that promise. But, you might want to leave."
"Why, would I…?"
Sona was wondering the reason that she would want to leave, but that answer soon came.
"So-tan! I found you~"
"Ugh."
Sona became stumped as Serafall pounced at her, aiding Lucina, who looked irritated about the fact that she had been ignored again. Blushing about the contact, Serafall wrapped her arms around her younger sister, who didn't appear comfortable at all.
"Ah, Leviathan-sama. I see you're here to see your younger sister."
Lady Phenex said, smiling and bowing her head from respect.
"Hey, Phenex-chans. Yes yes, I came here to see my beloved So-tan," Serafall said, rubbing her cheeks against Sona's, who appeared uncomfortable about the entire thing. "But, Lu-chan tried keeping me from coming here for some reason."
"I did that because you run off all the time without telling me, and I spend hours tracking you down."
Lucina replied, showing an almost exhausted look.
"Hmm, I was shocked to hear that So-tan didn't tell me about the Classroom Visits," Serafall said, releasing Sona much to her happiness, then started holding up her magical staff. "I came this close to attacking Heaven to vent out all the frustration building up from that shock."
"Uh, is she serious?"
Issei asked, turning his attention towards Serafall before Issei nudged his shoulder.
"Ise. Greet her."
Rias suggested, causing him to nod his head and stood in front of Serafall.
"N-Nice to meet you, I am Hyoudou Issei. I am Rias Gremory-sama's servant, pawn! I'll be under your care!"
Issei announced, catching Serafall's attention.
"Nice to meet you, Ise-chan~ I am the Maou, Serafall Leviathan~ But, call me Levi-tan," Serafall said, forming a sideways V using her hands before winking. "Hey, Sirzechs-chan. Is this boy the rumored Sekiryuutei-kun?"
"Yes, this is Ise-kun, the current Sekiryuutei who holds the Welsh Dragon within him."
Sirzechs said, nodding his head and Serafall looked to notice Zeoticus standing there too.
"Ara ara, Uncle Gremory."
"Yes, Serafall-dono. This is another novel uniform. I somewhat think as a Maou how it is but…"
"Ara, uncle~ Don't you know? This is the fashion in this country, you know?"
"Heh, was that so. It seems this was my ignorance."
"Hahaha, Tou-ue, don't believe it."
Issei and the others who didn't know them, stood there surprised to see how casual some of the highest-ranked officials in the Underworld were acting in front of them.
"Ah, Buchou…."
"I forgot to mention that all of them are like this, the Four Maou. During private times, they are amenable, to a severe extent."
Rias replied, before sighing.
"Then, you're the Hakuryuukou-chan."
Serafall said pointing her staff straight at Kazuki, who seemed to be confused about how he could act in front of Sona's older sister. He often heard about the Leviathan's more eccentric actions from time to time.
"Ah, yes. I am…."
"You're the one that So-tan and Lu-chan have been talking about all the time!"
"Eh?"
Kazuki was surprised to the point of being stumped.
The mentioned young women looked hopelessly flustered after Serafall brought that up.
"Lu-chan once mentioned she ran into someone who helped her before. And was surprised to find that he was a friend of So-tan, then started watching him," in mentioning whatever moment that was Lucina started flushing to a level similar to what Asia had done before. "So-tan talked about someone named Kazu-chan all the time when she returned home. Onee-chan felt complicated since she didn't know what to think about So-tan hanging out with a boy. Onee-chan was happy to hear So-tan be happy. But, Onee-chan isn't planning on handing her Imouto or Queen over to anyone."
"…."
And Sona's face started turning bright red, as her serious demeanor began falling apart as the lines of her mouth started bending. But, Sona tried her hardest to maintain her appearance as the Student Council President, while no one else could utter a single word.
"…O-Onee-sama. This is my school and was entrusted with the job as the Student Council President here. So, no matter how close we are like relatives, even sisters, I can't approve of this behavior Onee-sama. This is far too much. And I can't approve of that sort of outfit."
"No, way. So-tan, if I was told that by So-tan of all people, Onee-sama will become sad! So-tan doesn't know her Onee-sama admires the Magical Girls! Since when wielding this glittering magic wand, I could erase angels and fallen angels."
Reacting to that, Raynare went right behind Kazuki considering that she was a fallen angel, still a low-ranked one at that. And so, there's no way that she could survive the brutal assaults from an angered Maou.
"Onee-sama, please be prudent. If Onee-sama, the Leviathan uses her so-called glitters, this small nation could be annihilated several times over."
Issei and Saji paled in response to hearing that, considering that glitters from a magical girl could erase them in a single move. It made them almost glad that Serafall wasn't involved in the Kokabiel incident considering that she might've erased Kuoh in a fit of anger.
"Onee-sama please stop mentioning such things!"
"But, Onee-sama can feel her presence around here!"
Their conversation started progressing forward, while it seemed to have taken an unexpected turn.
"Onee-sama for the last time, Gabriel-sama didn't do anything to you."
"But, that angel is Onee-sama's long-time rival and foe! She'll attempt to finish our match from all that time when I least expect it! But, don't be worried, Onee-sama won't let her hands on the Hakuryuukou-chan! At least, he'll first need to pass all the trails that I placed if So-tan found someone she likes who isn't her Onee-sama!"
"Uh, I've had enough of this!"
Sona shouted out loud, in an acute manner that almost Kazuki's and Saji's hearts skipped a beat.
She turned around then started running at full speed towards the direction Serafall wasn't, resulting in the people watching being surprised by that reaction. Witnessing this, Serafall looked surprised and started chasing after her escaping younger sister.
"Wait! So-tan! Where are you going leaving your Onee-chan behind!"
"Please don't follow me!"
"Noooooo! Don't abandon your Onee-chaaaaaaan! So-taaaaaan!"
"I have asked you so many times not to add 'tan'!"
Sona demanded, then Lucina sighed from that reaction.
"Uh, Kazuki-sama, could you please disregard…," Lucina started requesting, but stopped once she realized what was said and stared at Kazuki. She found herself unable to face him after Serafall mentioned that. "Uh, I can't do it! Serafall-sama you're a mean for mentioning that!"
Lucina started taking off at a speed that even Kiba couldn't follow at all, despite being an experienced Knight.
"Well, that happened."
Raynare stated, coming from behind Kazuki and letting out a sigh of relief.
"Ah, I don't even know how to respond to that one."
Kazuki started looking in the direction the three young women ran.
"It's common knowledge that Leviathan-sama is the most eccentric among the current Maou. And she can often cause a lot of trouble for Sona-sama sometimes."
Ravel pointed out, being able to stand beside Kazuki after that entire situation.
"Yea, I heard that Sona-senpai goes through a lot because of the love her older sisters have for her. And she's not alone in that regard."
Kazuki glanced over to notice that the Gremory Household was undergoing their issues with one another as Sirzechs wrapped an arm around his younger sister.
"Yeah. The Sitri household is peaceful. Don't you think so, Ria-tan?"
"Onii-sama, don't add a 'tan' to my pet name and call me that please…."
"No way…Ria-tan. Even though in the past you followed me every time while saying 'Onii-sama Onii-sama'…. It's the rebellious age, huh…?"
Sirzechs felt a bit of a shock hit him in response to his younger sister not showing him the same kind of affection she had before when she was younger. Reaction to the mention of her childhood, Rias turned towards her older brother with a mad and pouting face.
"Geez! Onii-sama! Why do you remind me of my childhood?"
"That's a nice face, Rias," Zeoticus said, taking a photo of Rias, wearing that same expression before glancing at the camera in his hands smiling. "It's good, to raise you so splendidly…. I will fill my wife's share of enthusiasm as she couldn't come here today."
"Otou-sama! Geez!"
Rias complained, staring at her father too flustered.
"Yes, I can share the same feeling as Rias-sama."
Ravel pointed out, recalling all the things that she had gone through because of her older brother's odd sense of showing affection.
"Yea, so did you and your mother enjoy touring the school with Sona-senpai?"
Ravel nodded her head smiling, while her mother seemed to be loving witnessing her daughter being much more honest and natural.
"Yes, this does like like a really good school. I can see the reason that Sona-sama has pride in being the Student Council President. I might plan on enrolling when I get the chance to," Ravel said as she was fidgeting in the same spot. "And I think that it might be fun to experience what a normal school life feels like. It might end up being fun if Kazu-sama is involved."
Ravel said that last part in a faint enough tone that Kazuki couldn't hear it, but Asia started feeling as if she was going to have another rival.
"Ara, this is the first time that I've seen Ravel this invested into something."
Lady Phenex pointed out, smiling a bit at what was happening.
"Oh my, Ise, Kazuki."
"Hey, Tou-san."
Kazuki called out before Issei, having noticed that their parents were approaching them without Azazel being insight. Noticing their parents, Sirzechs, Zeoticus, and Lady Phenex looked on surprised, while their parents stared at the new people standing near their children.
"Are those people your parents?"
Zeoticus asked, directing his attention at the twin brothers.
"Y-Yes. They're my parents."
"I see. Yeah."
Nodding to himself, Zeoticus started approaching them wearing a gentle smile on his face, then held out his hand for a handshake.
"Nice to meet you, I am Rias' father, Zeoticus Gremory."
Once Zeoticus introduced himself as Rias' father, Miki and Goro reacted in almost a surprise as the two met the father of the crimson-haired girl living with them.
"T-T-TTTTTTTTTTTThis is, thank you! Ah, um, I am Hyoudou Issei's and Kazuki's father! We're being taken care of by Rias-san, um, that is…."
Goro replied nervously, shaking Zeoticus' hand from the surprise.
"No, same here. Thanks for taking care of Rias. I thought to come to greet you two anyhow, anyway, Sirzechs and I were busy with work so it wasn't easy to able to get an opportunity. It seems this occasion was blessed by good luck. It's an honor to meet you today."
"No-No way! I too also said to greet you once to our son's father. No no, I talked to my husband about it."
All three parents appeared to be getting along well considering that the three were surprised about meeting each other in this situation.
"Ah, you two might know me," Lady Phenex too seemed to want to be respectful and introduce herself to them, while Miki and Goro seemed surprised to meet another beautiful foreigner. "I came here to see if my daughter, Ravel would end up enrolling into Kuoh Academy at some point."
"Ravel-san. Ah, you must mean the girl that Kazuki met?"
"Ara, Kazuki-kun mentioned Ravel to you?"
Lady Phenex seemed surprised and amused about the fact that Kazuki mentioned Ravel to her parents. Hearing that caused Ravel herself and Kazuki to become a bit flustered from it.
"Yes, our Kazuki mentioned that he met a wonderful and smart girl, with who he was still in contact. I must say, it was surprising that he complimented someone about being smart. Since your daughter is planning on coming to this school too, I hope that the two of them will continue being friends."
"I feel the same way, Miss Hyoudou."
Both Kazuki's and Ravel's mothers seemed to have started hitting it off well. And were at least happy that the two of them were getting along. It wasn't long until the parents started heading to a different location to have a more private conversation in private. Before heading out to the class, Kazuki led Ravel to the classroom where she had been viewing the lessons. Rias and Akeno, on the other hand, went with Sirzechs to have something more of a private conversation too.
Once school ended, the parents ranging from Zeoticus, Sirzechs, Azazel (who continued playing his part as one), and Lady Phenex returned to the Hyoudou Residences. All the parents involved were conversing with each other happily as if they'd been friends for a long time. After eating the dinner Miki prepared, with surprising assistance from Lady Phenex too who offered, the parents were watching the recordings on the television.
"Ara, Asia-chan, you're looking good in the video!"
Miki said smiling as she noticed what Asia was doing during classes.
"Hahahaha! Paying attention to a daughter's blossoming is a parent's duty, after all!"
Zeoticus added, heartily agreeing with the happiness welling up within Miki's chest.
The grown men in the household were drinking sake, while merrily drinking with one another. Some of the sake was something that Goro kept for special occasions, and another was something that Azazel brought himself. Of course, the Hyoudou patriarch wasn't too keen on the idea of drinking someone's special and expensive brand as it was notable enough. But, the Governor-General managed to convince him to accept it.
The children in question were all sitting at the table watching as their parents were getting along like old friends who met after a long time. Asia looked flustered at the thought of being at the center of attention between them because this was a new experience for her. Rias and Raynare, both looked to have been taking the full brunt of it as their doting parents were embarrassing them as much as possible.
"I, at least know what it feels like to have a doting and embarrassing parent," Raynare said groaning as she had thought about it. "And the thing is, Azazel-sama isn't even my father and he's playing the part just as good as any other normal one."
"I don't know what I did to deserve this kind of treatment?"
Rias asked herself while leaning her head against the table unable to cope with all that was happening.
"I don't think that Rias-sama will be able to survive this much longer."
Ravel added, noticing that it looked as if Rias' mental stamina was continuing to become lesser as she continued to listen to her father and brother. It was almost far too painful to witness the crimson-haired devil and the black-haired fallen angel falling into a state of mental shutdown.
"Well, I think that it would be best if we leave the parents to have their private conversation."
Kazuki stated, standing up from the table, and before anyone else could give a response Raynare was too fast in leaving the table. It didn't take a genius to guess that Raynare was heading straight to Kazuki's and Asia's room.
"Hahaha, Yuuma-chan. Don't run in someone else's house, even if you want to be alone with the guy you…."
[Ugh! Shut up! Tou-chan!]
Kazuki was surprised that Raynare was able to respond in her Yuuma persona, and thought she'd be far beyond emotional to keep up with the act. But, Kazuki, Asia, and Ravel followed behind the panicked fallen angel, while leaving Issei and Rias at the table.
Stepping inside his bedroom, Kazuki looked to find Raynare burying her face in his pillow while groaning as loud as possible. Noticing this, he sat right beside her, then started rubbing her back in an attempt to console her about the entire situation.
"There there, get it out."
Kazuki consoled in a soft tone.
"He's doing this to me on purpose! He couldn't just pretend to be a normal dad! He just had to be the doting kind! I did everything he wanted me to, and he does this to meeeee!"
Raynare's shouts were muffled from her face being buried in a pillow.
As Kazuki was doing that, Ravel was looking around fidgeting a bit uncomfortably as she looked around the room as if she had stepped onto uncharted land. Noticing this, Asia stepped beside Ravel, then tilted her head to the side.
"Ravel-san, are you alright?"
"Y-Yes, it's just that," Ravel started before glancing to the side. "I haven't been in another boy's room who was not someone from my family."
"I can understand that. I haven't been in a room like this before either."
Asia replied, smiling.
"I-I see. I could understand that," Ravel said, feeling a bit more comfortable in looking around. She turned to find a lot of books around the room and noticed the number of bookmarks in some of them. "Kazu-sama appears to like reading books."
"Yes, Kazuki-san mentioned before that reading was all he could do when he was growing up. And it allowed him to become smart and knowledgeable as he is now. Because of that, Kazuki-san could teach me things I wasn't able to learn in the Church. I managed to learn to speak, read, and write in Japanese because Kazuki-san taught me the first time I started living here. So, that's the reason that I want to make it up to him."
Ravel could see that Asia was still thinking about that act of kindness even if it was more than a month ago. And all the feelings from then remained as strong as it was.
"That's a beautiful thought, Asia-sama."
Ravel found herself smiling after hearing that and could only give that one comment.
It wasn't long until Raynare found herself calming down and managed to lean upwards while letting a light sigh escape from her mouth.
"Ugh, I'm sorry that all of you had to see and hear that."
Having managed to vent her frustrations about Azazel, Raynare found herself calmer and apologized for showing them such a vulnerable and embarrassing side of herself.
"That's nothing that you need to apologize for. I think that anyone who goes through that would have the same kind of reaction. But, I didn't think that Azazel would end up putting that much effort into the doting father act."
Kazuki stated before placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"I'm just glad that it's over. But, if he does something when we're leaving, then I might end up hitting him."
"I don't think that it'd be wise to punch your boss."
Ravel added with a hint of humor behind her response.
"At this point, it'd be worth it."
Raynare stated, showing no hesitation if that was the case.
There was light laughter among the group sitting in the bedroom, but then Kazuki looked and noticed that there was something on Ravel's mind.
"Ravel-san, is there something wrong? Did you run into any trouble anywhere during the Classroom Visits?"
Guessing that'd be the case, Kazuki decided to come out and ask her.
"Well, yes. But, it wasn't from a human student."
"Oh, then…."
"It was Rias-sama's Rook," Ravel replied, showing more emotion in her voice in revealing that. Having heard her answer, Kazuki, Asia, and Raynare looked on as the younger blonde was becoming irritated, "Since that time at the Ball Tournament, she has been giving me rude comments or looks for some reason. "Like after her classes ended, she called me a Grilled Chicken Princess, while giving me that stoic look. I swear, if she keeps this up, I'm going show her grilled."
"Eh, is this kinda sounds like more a confrontation between a bird and cat," Kazuki thought, knowing full well that Koneko is a nekomata, not just a normal human reincarnated into a human. "I have no idea what Koneko-chan was thinking in doing that. Well, I know this isn't the first time she acting in a not so gentle manner with someone, but that was limited to Nii-san."
"But, we never had any previous interaction with one another so garner that kind of reaction. Ugh, I can tell that I will have to deal with her all the time if I end up moving here, which would be terrible," Ravel stated, but she took a light glance toward Kazuki and became a flustered bit. "W-Well, I guess the positives would be more beneficial than the negatives."
"I see."
Kazuki replied, but he wasn't dense to not realize that Ravel might be developing certain feelings for him. But, he will need to wait and see where it all goes instead of mentioning it out loud.
"So, Ravel-san do you plan on leaving after this?"
"Hmm, I might. I mean, there isn't much of a reason for me to remain here aside from wanting to check out Kuoh Academy," Ravel replied to Asia's question. "But, I guess it wouldn't be bad to remain here a little bit longer, but I will have to find a place to sleep for the night. And I could return to the Underworld sometime tomorrow because I still haven't got the chance to see Kazu-sama's Balance Breaker."
"If you want, then you could come to the Three Faction Meeting that'll be happening here."
Raynare suggested, glancing at Ravel who seemed interested.
"That does sound interesting and it would be a good chance to see, but I'll have to refuse this time," Ravel replied much to their surprise. "I'll be a pivotal moment for the Three Factions based on what happened and this incident was caused by what Kokabiel did. So, I believe that only those who were involved in that incident should go there instead of someone who wants to go just because."
Ravel's mature and rational response almost surprised them, considering that most people would attempt to do whatever it took to get into the meeting. And that was something that made Ravel such an interesting person in comparison to most her age.
"That's surprising, I think that most High-Class Devils would attempt to bend someone's arm to get a chance to do this. Well, you could crash at my apartment, I have an extra room no one is using."
Raynare suggests causing Ravel to nod her head, not hesitating in trusting the fallen angel.
"That would be great, Raynare-sama. I'll inform my mother before leaving here. So, is there anything that we can do because I doubt that the adults downstairs will be finishing up?"
"Oh, there is a board game that Kazuki-san and I played before," Asia said, looking on with excitement after she heard that question from Ravel. "It can be played using two or six players, and it was so much fun the first time we started playing it."
"Hmmm, that sounds like it could be fun."
Ravel mused, then noticed Asia running to the spot where the board game was being kept, then soon presented it in front of them. Staring at the board game's name, which was the Game of Life. Staring at the board game the younger blonde-haired girl smiled and nodded her head.
"Yes, let's play that game. There's a version of that game in the Underworld too, but I don't think that I played the Human World version."
Ravel stated, interested in the idea as Asia placed the Game of Life board game in the middle of them, then she started setting it up. Once things were prepared and finished, the four of them started playing the board game in silence, while listening to their parents laughing downstairs. Soon after, there was the sound of someone running upstairs, and sounded as if a room door was opened.
Kazuki and Asia guessed that it was either Issei or Rias entering their room, but soon enough the group of four continue playing the board game together. Their group continued playing their game without interruption as the four laughed about the direction the game was going.
A/N: And there goes the next chapter of The Twin Dragons, this chapter showed the Classroom Visits as the addition of Azazel pretending to be Raynare's father was added onto it. But, I don't think that she was looking forward to what was happening in class. Of course, Ravel and Lady Phenex ended up going too, but not before Serafall started doing her usual antics. And that ended up embarrassing Sona and Lucina at the same time, both running for different reasons.
Near the end, the parents started having their miniature party with one another, while their children had a personal conversation with one another.
Issei's Harem: Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Xenovia, Lucia, Tsubasa, Kiyome, Aika, Elmenhilde, Yasaka, Kunou, Bennia, Roygun, Ingvild.
