High School DxD:Volume 2 Life 2

Life.2 Pick a Fight

Part 1

“Hurry. Go to the bed. I will get ready for it now.”

Buchou hassles me while taking her uniform off! Ho- hold on! What is this!? What’s happening!? My mind can’t catch up to Buchou’s actions!

STRIP

She took her skirt off and her underwear became visible! Guha!! Her pure white panties are so bright! Her beautiful long legs are excellent! She still has thighs that you want to touch a lot! She then reached for her bra!

“Bu...Buchou! This is.....!?”

I was confused. Obviously! Buchou suddenly appears and says “Let’s have sex.”, and she starts taking her clothes off! Even a horny student like me will get confused!

She finally took her bra off! Her breasts, which were supported by the bra, are visible! I can’t take my eyes off her white and huge breasts! Buchou who only had her panties on took a huge breath and walked towards me.

“Ise, aren’t I good enough?”

“No! Absolutely not!”

“I thought about all sorts of things, but this is the only method left.”

Method for what!? I can’t see where this is leading to!?

“If there is evidence, then they can’t complain about it. The only person close to me who is able to do it with me is you.”

Me!? I don’t know what’s going on, but apparently I was chosen to be her first time!? I am honored! That’s what I would like to say but I don’t have the confidence to!

“......Yuuto won’t do. He is a pure knight. He would decline it for sure. That’s why Ise is the only one possible.”

I won over Kiba!? Hahahaha! I don’t know what’s going on, but for that part I can be proud! I won against you Casanova!

“......There are things you still lack in, but you seem to have the potential.”

Buchou’s fingers touched my cheek. My heart was beating. I felt something mysterious running through my body!

“You are the only one who would do it as soon as I ask and will go till the end.”

“Bu...Buchou....”

Buchou approached me and pushed me down onto the bed. Buchou horse rode me. The place where her butt and thigh met was on top of my important part! Her crimson hair fell on my body. The smell of her crimson hair excited me.

PATCHIN

The sound of the bra’s hook. The second coming of Buchou’s breasts! Her beautiful pink nipples were already standing. Her nipples moved with her slight movements! This had too many critical effects on me! This was my second time seeing breasts in a row! I never would have thought that I would see it again on this bed!

“This is your first time right, Ise? Or do you already have experience?”

“Ye...yes, it’s my first time!”

“Is that so. It’s my first time as well, so let’s do it till the end even if both of us have no experience. It’s alright. It’s very simple. You just have to put it inside here.”

Buchou points at her important part with her fingers. It has so much impact on me that my brain is about to burst! Then Buchou takes my right hand and......!

SQUEESH

My right hand, which was grasped by Buchou, was put on top of her breast! I could feel a really soft sensation on all five fingers! It's a guy's thing to concentrate their thoughts and sensations on their right hand at times like this!

FLOOD

I knew that there was an insane amount of blood dripping from my nose. The sensation of the breast that I dreamed so much about! Crap...I’m about to lose consciousness! But if I had to describe this sensation, it’s like a cream custard that won’t crumble! Or the best quality marshmallow! No you still can’t describe this sensation with things like those! No you can’tttttt!!

“Do you realise?”

Buchou said that to me with a charming voice.

“I’m also tense. You can tell by my heart beat, right?”

Now that she talked about it, I could feel her heart beating fast beyond her breast. If I looked carefully, her pure white skin was getting red....... So Buchou was also nervous? So Buchou who always acts with elegance was nervous for the first time as well.... Then Buchou started to strip my clothes off! Uuuuuaaaaaaah!! I’m getting stripped naked by a girl!

“Bu..But! I don’t actually have the confidence!”

I accidentally made a whiny voice because I was so nervous! Well obviously! That’s because I’m a super virgin!! Buchou got her face close to mine and said:

“Are you trying to embarrass me?”

KABOOM!

With that comment, my brain blew up. I knew it was the sound indicating I couldn’t hold my instinct anymore. I grabbed Buchou by her shoulders and put her down against my bed! On my bed, below me, there is a fully naked girl. She’s saying that I can fuck her! Make your determination Hyoudou Issei! I don’t know why but my time has come! I have to do it! Wait, is this really alright!? But I can’t control myself if the woman I admire says things like this to me! I gulped down my spit and took a deep breath. Then I put my body against Buchou’s......

FLASH

Then the floor of my room flashed again. Wha...what is it!? Buchou made a sigh after seeing that.

“......Looks like I was a bit late....”

Buchou stared at the magic circle with fierce eyes. The symbol on the magic circle was.....the symbol of Gremory household? Who is it? Kiba? Akeno-san? Koneko-chan? Wait even if it is one of them, getting caught in this situation is bad!! But my prediction was wrong, and the person who appeared was a silver haired woman. Her clothes looked like those of a maid. Is she a maid? She opened her mouth after confirming me and Buchou’s presence.

“Are you trying to break the agreement by doing something like this?”

The maid said it as if she found it childish. Buchou’s eyes changed after hearing that.

“If I don’t do things like this, both otou-sama and onii-sama won’t listen to me.”

“Both Sirzechs-sama and the master will become sad after they find out that you tried to give your purity to some lowly person like this.”

Master? Sirzechs-sama? Who is it? From Buchou’s words it might be her father and brother. I never knew Buchou had a brother. But lowly......she’s talking about me right? I felt a bit shocked as someone I just met called me that. Buchou seemed like she was in a bad mood after hearing that.

“My purity is mine only. What’s wrong with giving it to someone whom I acknowledged? And don’t call my cute servant lowly. Even if it’s you, I won’t forgive you, Grayfia.”

Bu..Buchouuuuu!! I’m so moved because you became mad for me! The woman called Grayfia started picking up Buchou’s bra.

“Anyway. You are the next heir of the Gremory household so please don’t show your skin to a man, even more so if you are in the middle of this situation.”

She then put the bra on Buchou’s body. The woman looked at me and bowed her head down.

“How do you do? I’m a person that serves the Gremory household. My name is Grayfia. I will be your acquaintance from now on.”

I received a polite introduction from her. I felt a bit awkward because I was called a lowly person when I first saw her. But if I looked carefully she was quite beautiful. In human age she looked around her early 20’s. She seemed a bit cold but her silver hair that was shining looked beautiful. She had her hair split into three strings, which were then knotted with each other. Grayfia-san, huh? Older woman are also quite.....

SNITCH

Buchou pinched　me because I was gazing at Grayfia-san. Buchou it hurts.

“Grayfia, did you come here of your own accord? Or did you come here because the household sent you........? Or is it onii-sama?”

“All of them.”

Grayfia-san made an answer immediately. After hearing that, Buchou made a sigh that seemed like she gave up.

“Is that so? You, who is brother’s “Queen” came to the human world personally. So it can only be that. I understand.”

Buchou picked her clothes up. She put her clothes back on. Her beautiful naked body was getting covered.

“I’m sorry, Ise. Let’s make it so that the thing from earlier never happened. I wasn’t thinking straight either. Let’s forget about today’s incident.”

........Ah. Is it over...? Well I didn’t know what was going on either, so.... But I know that I will regret it afterwards.

“Ise? Wait, is this person...?”

Huh? Grayfia-san was looking at me with a shocked expression. I never expected a cool woman like her to be this shocked.

“Yes, Hyoudou Issei. My “Pawn”, and the holder of the “Boosted Gear”.”

“.......”Boosted Gear”, the one possessed by the emperor of dragons........”

What is it? Grayfia-san looked as if she was looking at something extraordinary.

“Grayfia, let’s go back to my room. I will listen to what you have to say over there. Akeno can also attend, right?”

“The “Lightning Priestess”? I don’t mind. It’s a must for high-class devils to have their “Queen” by their side all the time.”

“Okay. Ise.”

Buchou called me. She walked towards me and then she....

KISS

I felt her lips on my cheeks........Wow. Uooooooooooooo! I got kissed on the cheek!!

“Please forgive me for today with this kiss. I troubled you a lot. Let’s meet again in the club room tomorrow.”

She gave me a farewell and disappeared in the magic circle along with Grayfia-san.......I was the only one left in the room now. I stood there dazzled while touching the cheek where I was kissed.

“Ise-san! I finished using the shower!”

I heard Asia’s voice soon after that.

Part 2

The next morning.

Asia and I were walking towards school. I rubbed my eyes because I couldn’t get a single bit of sleep. Damn it. Damn ittttttt!! Last night I regretted it! I regretted so much!! I was suffering in bed because I was too excited! The feeling of the breast in my hand, and the image of Buchou’s naked body in my eyes had a lot of impact to me! So I got up at night and started to masturbate! For the whole night! I had to pleasure myself because I had so much hornyness within my body! That’s why I’m flat out tired from the morning!

“Are you okay?”

Asia said that to me with a worried voice. I feel like I know how dirty I am when I get stared at by pure eyes like Asia’s! I’m sorry Asia. I was doing something you shouldn’t know about when you were away. I mean I can’t tell her that Buchou wanted to have sex with me last night.

“You didn’t do the morning training today, so I thought your body was hurt.”

Asia seemed like she was very worried. I’m very sorry. The morning training was canceled today. I received a call early this morning from Buchou. She said “Can we cancel it today” and it was canceled just like that. Well I couldn’t do training with Buchou in this state..... I walked towards the school while my legs were moving very slowly. When I was heading for the classroom......

“Iseeeeeee!!”

Matsuda ran towards me with an extremely pissed face. Oh! Is he pissed about that!?

“Dieeeeee!!”

Motohama ran towards me from the opposite direction. Both of them were trying to get ready to do a lariat on me! Shit I have nowhere to run since we are in the corridor!

BANG!

Ugaaah! Both of their lariats hit my neck. It hurts assholes! I coughed while touching my neck.

“Don’t fuck with me!!”

Matsuda shouted at me.

“Ise! You bastard!”

Motohama grabbed me by my collar and glared at me with the eyes of a murderer.

“Seriously, what is it?”

I acted like I didn’t know what they were on about, but it didn’t stop them being pissed at me.

“Don’t fuck around! Fuck! What the heck was that!? He looked like those guys from a martial arts manga! And why was he wearing gothic lolita clothes!? Is that a new weapon!?”

Matsuda complained to me. Looks like the two of them met him yesterday. Looks like the impact of “Mil-tan” was too much for them. Mil-tan is a regular customer of mine, and is a person who has made a contract with me. He is a girl born from a man that has the body of the world’s strongest person, and he looks up to mahou-shoujos. His charming point is his gothic Lolita outfit and the cat ears he wears. You may think this information doesn’t make any sense, but I can’t help it if this is the truth. He has the body of a man, but the heart of a maiden! That’s the only explanation I have.

“Not only that! He also brought some friends! He made a gathering of some sorts! There were dozens of those who looked like Mil-tan! I was so scared! I thought I was going to get killed!”

Holy shit. There were more of them....? Just thinking about it gives me shivers and nightmares. Where do “Mil-tans” get produced from? Yes, I definitely do not want to meet with them....

“They were going on about the world of magic!? What the fuck is the “world of magic Serabenia”!? I don’t know any shit like that!!”

Matsuda continued to complain to me while shaking my body violently.

“In my case, they were telling me about how to defeat the “Dark creatures” if I ever encounter one.... Apparently you can kill them by using the salt from the sea of the dead and a flower that only appears at night called “Moon twilight flower” so you can mix the two together to make a special item by burning it then making it into a powder...... No matter how you think about it, a punch from Mil-tan would be enough to kill any living thing in this world.....”

Motohama said it to me while holding his head down. I.....is that so. Looks like these two went through hell.

“Congratulations. Now you can beat the “Dark creatures” whenever you encounter one.”

After I said that, Matsuda and Motohama gave me a double brain buster.

Part 3

“Buchou’s problems? Maybe it has something to do with the Gremory household.”

Kiba told me that while we were walking towards the old school building. I met with Kiba while I was on my way to the club room along with Asia. So I asked Kiba about how Buchou was acting strange lately. Kiba also didn’t know the reason why.

“Akeno-san would know, right?”

Kiba nodded at my question.

“Akeno-san is Buchou’s most trusted servant, so she obviously would know.”

I knew that asking about Buchou’s problems would be rude, but I was involved in it last night. But I didn’t feel like talking about last night with anyone. I mean, it would have caused an uproar if I did. So I will let it be. If there were things I could help her with, then I would. When we arrived in front of the door, Kiba noticed something.

“.....For me to realise this presence, only when I came here.....”

Kiba made a serious face by having sharp eyes. Huh? What is it? I opened the door without any concerns. Inside the room were Buchou, Akeno-san, Koneko-chan, and the silver haired maid Grayfia-san! She looked cool just like yesterday. Buchou had a very disturbed face. Akeno-san was smiling like usual but you could tell that she was serious. Koneko-chan was sitting in a chair in the corner quietly. She seemed like she didn’t want to get involved with the others. The room was dead silent, no one spoke a single word. Kiba quietly said “This is bad”, behind me. The three of us went inside the room but it wasn’t the type of atmosphere where we could talk to them. That’s how tense this room was. Asia also felt uneasy so she held onto my shirt with a worried face. I patted her head to comfort her. Buchou spoke after looking at everyone.

“Looks like everyone is here. Before we start the club, there’s something I need to tell all of you.”

“Ojou-sama, do you want me to explain the situation?”

Buchou rejected Grayfia-san’s offer with her hand.

“The truth is....”

At the exact same moment Buchou spoke, the magic circle on the floor glowed. Huh....? Transportation? But all of the people from Gremory’s are here. So is it a devil who serves the Gremory just like Grayfia-san? After this I realised that my guess was way off of the correct answer, and I realised that I lacked knowledge as a devil. The symbol of the Gremory changed into another pattern on the magic circle. Huh!? What is this!? Wasn’t this the Gremory’s magic circle?

“....Phenex”

That’s what Kiba, who was close to me, said. Phenex? Then it isn’t a Gremory then! The light shined through the room and a person appeared from the magic circle.

SPARK

There were flames coming from the magic circle that ignited throughout the whole room. Hot! Sparks burnt my skin. There was the silhouette of a man behind the flames. When he spread his arm across to the side, the flames disappeared.

“Fuu. I haven’t come to the human world for a while.”

The guy that appeared was a man in a red suit. He wore his suit casually so he didn’t have a tie and his shirt was opened till his chest. He looked like he was in his early 20’s. He was handsome but he seemed more of the bad boy type. He had his hands inside his pockets. He looked like a gigolo. Or was he a gigolo-devil? His good looking face kind of pissed me off. If Kiba was the gentle type, then this guy was the wild type. The guy looked around the room, and then smirked after finding Buchou.

“My lovely Rias. I came to take you.”

......My lovely Rias....? What kind of relationship does this guy have with Buchou? Buchou looked at him with her eyes half closed. She didn’t seem like she was welcoming this guy. But the guy didn’t seem to care and approached Buchou.

“Then Rias. Let’s go and take a look at the ceremony hall. The date of the ceremony is decided so we need to check it before then.”

What a frivolous guy…... From which household is this devil from? Kiba said Phenex earlier….. The guy grabbed Buchou’s arm. What a rude guy!

“……Let go of me, Raiser.”

Buchou shook the guy’s hand off and said it with a deep and serious voice. Wow. She sounds really scary….. She’s really pissed off! The guy called Raiser was smirking and didn’t seem to care about the fact that Buchou shook his hand off. Man, his slight movement is ticking me off. I’m getting pissed. Then I spoke.

“Oi, you. You are being rude to Buchou. Do you think that’s acceptable?”

I said it clearly to him. When the guy looked at me, I could tell he was looking at me as if he was looking at some trash. Man, this guy is pissing me off even more!

“Huh? Who are you?”

He said it with a displeased voice. It was totally different from the sweet voice he had towards Buchou. He was definitely looking down on me. I could feel his hatred towards me. But I will say what I have to!

“I am the servant devil of Rias Gremory-sama! I’m the “Pawn”, Hyoudou Issei.”

I said it to him! I even told him my name! How’s that gigolo-devil!

“Hmmmm. Ah, okay.”

SLIP

I slipped after he made a reaction showing he didn’t care much about it. Gu……I felt a bit hurt by this reaction. So you don’t care about me. Is that right?

“I mean, who the heck are you?”

The guy seemed a bit surprised by my question.

“…….Ara? Rias, you haven’t mentioned me to your servants? I mean, are there guys who don’t know me? A reincarnated devil? Even so.”

“I didn’t tell them because there was no need.”

“Ararara. Harsh like always.Hahaha.......”

The guy started laughing. Then Grayfia-san came in.

“Hyoudou Issei-sama.”

“Ye...yes.”

“This person is Raiser Phenex-sama. He’s a pure-blood high-class devil, and the third son of the Phenex Household.”

Grayfia-san explained to me about this guy. Ummmm, so he’s a high-class devil from the Phenex household. So he holds a peerage then. Isn’t Phoenix a fire bird or an immortal bird that appears in books and is called a legendary creature......? So there are things similar to it among the devils.

So why is a guy like that related to Buchou? A friend? Is he some childhood friend? But soon I found out the true reason that far surpassed my prediction.

“And he is the husband of the next heir of the House of Gremory.”

.........Hm? Hu....husband....? The next heir......she’s talking about Buchou right....?

“He is engaged to Rias ojou-sama.”

....... Huh? En.....engageddddddd!!?

“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!”

I screamed because of the extreme truth. This guy was Rias buchou’s fiancé.

Part 4

“The tea made by Rias’s “Queen” is superb.”

“Thank you very much.”

The guy who praised Akeno-san’s tea, Raiser. Akeno-san was smiling like usual, but she didn’t say the usual “araara” and “ufufufu”. I felt a bit scared...... Buchou was sitting on the sofa. Raiser sat next to her carelessly and was holding her shoulder. Buchou kept on shaking his hands off, but the bastard kept on touching her hair, hands and shoulders. Man. That guy is way too close to her! We, the low-class devils, sat away from the two high-class devils and could only look at them. Ku....just looking at him pisses me off! He keeps on touching her body! If he starts touching her legs, I’m seriously going to jump at him! Even I haven’t touched her thighs yet! Wait, if I think about it I already know the sensation of Buchou’s breasts. Does that mean I am amazing since I know the sensation of those breasts even before the fiancé? Fufufu, yeah. That’s it! I already saw her naked body twice. Fufufu, it’s my win!? Nuhahaha!!

“Ummm, Ise-san. Did something good happen?”

Asia, who was next to me, asked with a worried face. Huh!? I made a victory declaration in my mind against Raiser.

“......Indecent thinking is prohibited.”

Koneko-chan gave me harsh words again. Nnnnn, does she have some power that allows her to read my mind?

“Ise-kun. In any case, you should wipe your drool.”

Kiba gave me a handkerchief with a refreshing smile.

“It’s none of your business!”

I tried to wipe my drool with my uniform, but Asia wiped it for me with her handkerchief.

“It’s almost time to eat snacks, so you drooled thinking about it, correct?”

Uuu.... My heart hurt because she said it with a smile. This girl probably doesn’t know that I was thinking about naughty stuff.

“Thank you, Asia.”

I’m sorry Asia. Even though I thanked her, I also apologised to her in my heart. Then at that time.....

“Stop it already!”

Buchou’s angered voice echoed through the room. When I looked, Buchou got up from the sofa glaring sharply at Raiser. Raiser on the other hand was smirking like usual.

“Raiser! I told you before! I will not marry you!”

“Yeah, I heard that before. But Rias, that won’t do, you know? I think your house is in a rush to evade the crisis.”

“That’s none of your concern! If I’m the next heir for the House of Gremory, then I will choose who will become my husband! Also it was a promise that I will be free until I graduate from university!”

“That’s right. You will be free. You can go to university and you can do whatever you like with your servants. But your Otou-sama and Sirzechs-sama are worried. They are afraid that your house will become extinct. We lost a great number of pure-blood devils in the last war. Even if the war has finished, our rivalry with the fallen-angels and God isn’t finished yet. It’s not rare for a pure-blood devil to get killed, which leads to the household becoming extinct because of the worthless battle against them. So for pure-blood devils that are also high-class devils getting together would be the best solution to fix this situation. A pure-blood high-class devil. Even you know that these children will be important from now on, right?”

Buchou and Raiser started to argue about something I don’t get. But even a dumbass like me knew that they were discussing an important thing about the devils' society. Buchou became quiet when Raiser started a serious topic. But she still had furious eyes. Raiser continued talking after drinking the tea.

“The newly produced devils. The ones like your servants, the reincarnated devils, are expanding in terms of strength but that would make us, the pure-blood devils, lose place. There are old nobles who get close to the powerful reincarnated devils. But that’s alright. The newly produced devils are important for the future as well. But we can’t allow the pure-blood devils to go extinct right? We were chosen in order to prevent the pure-bloods from going extinct. I have my older brothers in my house, so my house is safe. Then there would only be you, Rias, who can inherit the house of Gremory. If you don’t take a husband, the house of Gremory will go extinct with your generation. Are you trying to crush the house that has been in history since ancient times? Because of the past war, there is not even half the number of devils who are referred as “72 pillars”. This marriage has the future of the devils on the line.”

.........Hmmm, the discussion is getting really serious....... I think Kiba told me about the “72 pillars” before. A long time ago there were 72 devils who held peerage, and each clan had dozens of armies. But most of them died in the war. Buchou’s clan are pure-blood devils that survived the war. I was pissed when Raiser kept on saying engagement, but listening to the whole story makes it seem very complicated. Pure-blood devils, in other words Buchou and Raiser. A pure devil. It means their parents are also pure-blood devils. A real devil. Asia and I would be reincarnated devils then. An ancient rule, huh. Then my opinion would be useless...... But it’s alright. I will just agree with Buchou’s decision. Only if that’s what she desires.

“I’m not going to crush my house. I will take a husband.”

Raiser made a big smile after hearing Buchou.

“Ahhh, that’s it Rias! Then let’s...”

“But I won’t marry you, Raiser. I will only marry the one I'll want to be with. Even the devils who obey the old rules have the right to choose.”

Buchou rejected Raiser’s speech and said it very clearly. Raiser became very unpleasant after hearing that. His eyes became sharper and he even made a noise with his tongue.

“.......You know Rias. I’m also a devil who holds the name of Phenex behind me. I can’t let that name get scratched. I didn’t even want to come to a small old building like this in the human world. Actually I don’t like the human world. The fire and wind in this world is filthy. For a devil like me who symbolises fire and wind, I can’t stand it!”

FLAME!

There were flames around Raiser. There were small bits of fire around the room.

“I will take you back to the underworld, even if I have to burn all of your servants.”

I could feel the instinct to kill within the room. The pressure from Raiser’s body came right at us. I felt something very cold in my back, and it felt like all the hair on my body was about to stand. The killing intent directed by a high-class devil. This is bad! My hands and body were trembling. Asia hugged my arm because she got scared. Yeah, Asia wouldn’t be able to withstand this atmosphere. I felt uneasiness like the time when I fought the fallen-angel. No it was even more worse. Kiba and Koneko-chan weren’t trembling but they were getting ready to fight any time. Buchou made a stance against Raiser, and there was a red aura coming out of her body. Raiser also had flames coming out from his body. Hot.... It was obvious that we would get turned to ash if we got hit by that flame! I could feel the same strength of magic power as Buchou from his flames! Buchou is stronger than the fallen-angel I beat....... So does it mean having the same strength as Buchou means that he is incredibly strong? The flame gathered around Raiser’s back and formed wings of flames. Exactly like a fire bird. The atmosphere was intense. But there was one person who interfered calmly. It was Grayfia-san.

“Ojou-sama, Raiser-sama, please calm down. If both of you were to continue, then I won’t be quiet about it.”

Buchou and Raiser both made a serious face after hearing Grayfia-san’s intense voice. It seemed like they were scared of her.

Raiser calmed the flames around his body and made a sigh while shaking his head.

“.........To be told that by the “Ultimate Queen”, even I would be scared...... I definitely wouldn’t want to fight the people from Sirzech-sama’s group, which is said to be made up of monsters.”

Does Buchou’s brother have that much strength? I also didn’t know that Grayfia-san was that strong. I don’t even feel any intent to kill from her. Buchou stopped her magic aura and disbanded her battle position. Apparently we were saved from the worst case scenario. Grayfia-san spoke after confirming that both Buchou and Raiser had no intention to fight anymore.

“Everyone such as the master, Sirzechs-sama and the people from the house of Phenex knew it would become like this. To tell you the truth this was to be the last discussion meeting. Everyone knew that it wouldn’t be solved, so they decided to make a last resort.”

“Last resort? What do you mean Grayfia?”

“Ojou-sama, if you wish to push your opinion forward, then how about you decide it by doing the “Rating game” with Raiser-sama?

“.....!?”

Buchou lost the words from her mouth. She seemed to be very shocked. “Rating Game”? I think I heard about it before, but where......?

“It’s a game that is played by the devils with peerage, and they compete by making their servants battle.”

Kiba explained it to me because I had a confused look. Oh I think I remember. It’s a battle amongst devils where you use your servants, “Pawn”, “Knight”, “Bishop”, “Rook”, and “Queen”. Apparently your strength in the game reflects your social standing in the devils’ world. But wasn’t that game only played by mature aged devils, and Buchou who isn’t at the mature age couldn’t participate in it? Grayfia-san continued her explanation that answered my questions.

“Just like ojou-sama knows, “Rating game” can only be played by mature aged devils. But if it’s an unofficial match, then even pure-blood devils who haven't reached mature age can participate. But in this case....”

“It usually involves the family and household problem, right?”

Buchou continued to talk while making a sigh.

“In other words Otou-sama and the others chose to make us do the game as a last resort when I was to decline, right? .........What nerve do they have to keep on controlling my life......!”

Buchou was really pissed now. Wow.....I can feel her urge to kill! Scary........

“Then Ojou-sama, you are saying you would also decline to participate in the game?”

“No. This is a chance. Alright then. Let’s decide this by the game, Raiser.”

Raiser smirked after Buchou challenged him.

“Hee, you're accepting it? I don’t mind. But I’m already a matured devil and I have already participated in the official game. Right now I have won most of the games. Even so, you still want to play, Rias?”

Raiser replied back with a challenging tone. Buchou made a smirk.

“I will. I will make you disappear, Raiser!”

“Fine. If you win, do whatever you like. But if I win, you will marry me immediately.”

Both of them glared at each other. They were both glaring at each other with scary eyes. Looks like a low-class devil like myself had no right to get between them!

“Understood. I, Grayfia, confirm both sides opinion. I will be in charge of the game between the two sides. Is that okay?”

“Yes.”

“Yeah.”

Buchou and Raiser both agreed to Grayfia-san’s approval.

“Okay. I will inform the two households then.”

Grayfia-san bowed her head after confirming. Wow, it had become really serious now! Game! Will I have to participate in it as well!? Raiser looked at me and then smirked. Shit, he’s really pissing me off.

“Hey, Rias. Would the ones here be your servants?”

“So what?”

Raiser started laughing after Buchou answered him, as if he found it amusing.

“Then this match will be a laugh. Only your “Queen”, the “Lightning Priestess” can fight on par with my servants.”

When Raiser said that he clicked his fingers. The magic circle on the floor glowed. Shadows appeared from the magic circle. One, two, three........shit......... I stopped counting after I saw the number of shadows that appeared.

“And these are my cute servants.”

There were 15 people that seemed to be Raiser’s servants around him. There was a person that looked like a “Knight” who was wearing armor.

There was someone that seemed to be a magician who was wearing a hood. He had the maximum number of servants! The servant devils, just like in real chess, can be a maximum number of 15 servants. High-class devils receive 15 “Evil Pieces” from the Maou. Using that to choose who you wish to make your servants forms the master and servant relationship. If the person you wish to make your servant has high potential capacities, then the chess consumption doubles.

That’s why there are cases where there is only 1 “Rook” or 1 “Knight”. Buchou also had the same case. That is me. You can get a maximum of 8 “Pawns”, but Buchou used all 8 pieces on me because there is an extremely fiendish thing within me. That’s why there is a high-class devil that doesn’t have 15 servants. But Raiser had the maximum number of 15 servants. It’s a magnificent view to see all 16 devils including the “King”. We only had a “King”, 1 “Queen”, 1 “Rook”, 1 “Bishop”, 1 “Knight”, and 1 “Pawn”. So that made a 6 versus 16!? I got shocked by that fact. No, I’m sorry. There was something else on my mind. I couldn’t help it! Because...!

They were all girls! The knight and magician I mentioned before were girls! There was also a girl wearing a Chinese dress! There were two girls who had beast ears! There were two girls who seemed to be twins! Also a loli girl! There were two older girls with nice curves as well! There was also a girl wearing a kimono who looked like a “Yamato Nadeshiko”! There was also a girl wearing a dress who looked like a European princess! A woman who held a sword on her back! There was also a girl wearing a dancer’s outfit! There was one wearing a mask that hid half of her face! They were all bijous or bishoujous!? An army of beauty actually existed!? I felt electricity running through my body! ......So that’s it! This guy, Raiser, actually did it!?

Every guy's dream, a harem!! The high-class devil who made a harem! Raiser Phenex! What a person...... What a guy........

“He.....hey Rias...... This servant-kun over here is crying a lot while looking at me.”

Raiser said it while looking at me. He seemed to be really freaked out by me. Buchou looked at me and made a worried face while touching her forehead.

“This boy’s dream is to have a harem. I think he was moved after looking at your servants.”

Yes. Yes. That’s exactly right. I cried because I saw my dream, my objective, right in front of me. What a lucky guy. They are all girls.

“Gross.”

“Raiser-sama, this person is freaking me out!”

Raiser’s girls made an unpleasant face after looking at me. Damn it! Fuck you all! Raiser calmed them by feeling their bodies.

“Don’t say that, my cute girls. Looking up to high-class devils is what a lowly being does. Let’s show them how close we are.”

After he said that, Raiser started to tongue kiss one of the girls! Shit, he’s making noise by moving his tongue around! Buchou seemed like she didn’t care.

“Ha......Ahhh.........”

The girl made a sweet voice while putting her legs around Raiser’s! Shit, my thing is reacting to it!

“Hau...........”

Asia’s face had gotten so red that it seemed like it would blow any second. This view must have been too strong for Asia. Raiser took his mouth away, and there were threads of saliva between the two. He then started to tongue kiss the other girl! Don’t start the 2nd round in here!? I mean we can actually do that to our servants!? We can!? I can!? Shit! So if I work hard I can become like this one day! Raiser who finished his 2nd tongue kiss smirked at me. It seemed like he was saying “You will never be able to do this”.

“You will never be able to do this.”

“Don’t say what I think you were saying! Damn it! Boosted Gear!”

My head was full of rage and jealousy so I put my left hand up in the air and shouted. The thing that is possessed in my left arm appeared after it was covered in a red light. A red gauntlet that had a mark of a dragon. “Boosted Gear”, which is said to be a masterpiece Sacred Gear that gives enormous power to the possessor. I pointed it at Raiser and said to him,

“A womaniser like you isn’t good enough to be with Buchou!”

“Huh? Aren’t you looking up to me, the so-called womaniser?”

Gu....! He got right at the point.

“Sh...shut up! That’s different with the thing about Buchou! At this rate, you will continue to flirt with other girls even after you marry Buchou!”

“Heroes love women. That’s a saying in the human world, right? A good phrase indeed. But this is just a close relationship with my servants. Even you get adored by Rias, don’t you?”

That’s true..... But somehow I can’t forgive him! Maybe because he has the same taste as me? I don’t know the actual reason but is it because I’m still young?

“Hero my ass! You are just a bird guy! Fire bird Phoenix? Hahaha! That’s the same as Yakitori!”

Raiser made an outrageous face at my provocation.

“Yakitori!? You low-class devil!! Don’t get ahead of yourself! That’s not the way you talk to a high-class devil! Rias! You have to educate your servants!”

Buchou just ignored his claim and said “Like I care”.

“Hey fried-chicken guy! I will just beat the crap out of you with my “Boosted Gear”!”

My pride! My Boosted Gear! It doubles my power every 10 seconds, and after a while I can attain a power to kill even a God!

“We don’t need to have a match! I will just take you all down, right here, right now!”

[BOOST!!]

I felt power going through my body at the same time a voice came from the jewel! The proof that my power doubled! My punch that even defeated the fallen-angel! Take this! I was full of energy but Raiser just made a sigh.

“Mira. Do it.”

“Yes, Raiser-sama.”

Raiser ordered his servant. She was small just like Koneko-chan. She had a stick that martial artists use and made her stance after swinging the stick around. Nnnn, I don’t feel like fighting such a small girl, so if I knock her stick away she would back down... That’s what I thought, but suddenly I felt my body feel lighter. I felt like my body was floating. Huh? The floor.....?

KASAHINNN!!

I heard a loud noise........Ouch.... I felt pain running through my whole body.........What happened?

“Gahaa!!”

I felt pain in my stomach. Ouch...... My stomach? Was I hit in my stomach.....?

“Ise-san!”

Asia came to my side and she put her hands on my stomach. Then there was a green light around my body. I felt something warm in my stomach and soon I didn’t feel any pain. It’s the healing power of Asia. It’s a Sacred Gear that can even heal devils that don’t even have the divine protection of God. But because of that Asia was targeted by a fallen-angel..... But what happened to me? I know that I’m down on the floor. When I looked around there was a desk broken in half and stuff spread around the floor. When I looked at where Raiser was, the girl put her stick away.

.....Did I get hit? I couldn’t see it. Does it mean I received damage without realizing it? So I was hit towards the desk....... Raiser walked towards me, bent down and whispered into my ears.

“You are weak.”

! That word left a deep scar in my heart.

“The one who you just fought is my “Pawn” Mira. She’s the weakest out of my servants, but she has more battle experience and has more talent as a devil than you. Boosted Gear? Huh?”

Raiser started knocking on my Sacred Gear and he started laughing with his nose.

“This is certainly one of the invincible and dangerous Sacred Gears. By how you use it you can not only beat me, but also Maou and God. There were quite a number of possessors who had that before. But there hasn’t been any case where it defeated a God or Maou. Do you know what this means?”

Raiser then laughed really loudly.

“It means that this Sacred Gear is imperfect and also the possessors were bunch of weaklings that couldn’t use it! You are the same as well! How do you say this in the human world again? .........Yes, “Pearls before swine”. Fuhahahaha! Yes, pearls before swine! It’s about you! Rias’s “Pawn”-kun!”

Raiser started slapping my head while laughing so much.......... Damn it! I was so mortified that I clenched my teeth. I wanted to talk back but I couldn’t. It’s the truth that I am weak. Right now I even lost to a girl smaller than me. I was disappointed in myself!

“But the match would be interesting if you were to get used to it.”

Raiser put his hand on his chin and thought about something.

“Rias, how about we have a match in 10 days? We could do it now, but that wouldn't be interesting.”

“....Are you giving me a handicap.”

“Are you against it? Is it humiliating? “Rating Game” isn’t something simple that you can win with only your feelings. If you can’t use your servant’s power to the fullest, then you will lose immediately. So it’s not weird for you to train with your servants for your first “Rating Game”. No matter how much potential you have, no matter how much power you have, I have seen devils who lost without using their power to the fullest countless of times.”

Buchou kept quiet and listened carefully to what Raiser had to say. Raiser put his palm to the ground and it started to glow.

“10 days. If it’s you, then you should be able to improve your servants.”

He then looked at me.

“Don’t be a disgrace to Rias, Rias’s “Pawn”. Your hit is Rias’s hit.”

I realised that those words were said when thinking about Buchou.

“Rias, the next time we meet will be at the match.”

After he said that, Raiser disappeared in the magic circle along with his servants.

Part 5

“......Shit.”

I was desperate in keeping my anger and regret within check. After that, the club activity; devil’s job, was canceled. Buchou and Akeno-san went deep inside the old school building and never came out. Apparently they were discussing a plan. It looked like they were making strategies for the “Rating game”.

This will be Buchou’s first match. It would be normal to make strategies and even to cancel the club activity. After 10 days, huh. That’s too soon. Will that be enough time for gathering the factors to defeat Raiser and his servants?..... But it won’t change much if a “Pawn” like myself says it. I showed off in front of Buchou and provoked Raiser only to get beaten down by a small girl..... Noooooo! Just remembering it makes me embarrassed! .......Haaaa.....I’m so weak....

I then looked at my left arm. The thing that is possessed in here has absolute power. “Boosted Gear” which increases the power to no limits. But it has many weak points. That’s me, who is vulnerable. In other words “Pearl before swine”. Just like Raiser said.

Shit! I’m so weak..... Harem-king, my dream. The devil who accomplished making a harem, Raiser.

“Ahhh shit!”

I got up from the bed and started messing my hair up. Buchou said she still didn’t want to get married. She said she didn’t want to if the husband was Raiser. She chose to battle Raiser in order to cancel the engagement.

Engagement between high-class devils. I don’t know much about their houses issues because it’s too complicated, but I will only fight for Buchou’s sake! I have a debt of gratitude towards Buchou. A lot in fact. I want to fight for Buchou. I need to support Buchou! Okay! From tomorrow morning I will start my training again! More like training for the whole day! I can skip school if I tell Buchou.

I’m going to spend my next 10 days on training. I will contact Kiba so I can learn how to use swords. I will ask Akeno-san how to use magic powers. I will learn close combat from Koneko-chan! I started to feel a bit at ease after I made my decision. Ummm, I will go and have a bath now. I went downstairs and got ready to take a bath. I went inside the bathroom while fired up and took my clothes off quickly. After I take a bath, I will talk to Asia about tomorrow.

[OPEN]

It was when I opened the door.

“Ah.......”

“Huh......?”

Asia and I met inside the bathroom. I was naked and so was Asia!! A blond haired bishoujo was fully naked in front of me! What good timing! No, no, I mean accident! She was inside!? I was thinking about a lot of stuff, so I forgot to check who was inside! Asia’s body was wet because she just had a shower.

I’m so lucky! But you have nice proportions Asia.... Her tight hips. Her small ass is so lovely, damn it! Her thighs aren’t too skinny but it isn’t too fat, just the right size for me. If I were to see these thighs when she wears a skirt, I would be down on my knees. And her breasts were something I didn’t know about since she always had her clothes on. It’s not small, but it’s a pretty impressive size! Asia...... I’m glad you have grown this much......

No, it’s not the time for being moved by her growth! Why on earth am I staring at her body!? Shit! Why don’t I have a scouter that can read the B-W-H! This is my second time regretting it! Next time I will ask Motohama on how to attain that power! That's the ultimate move! It's probably more impressive than my Sacred Gear! No that’s not it! I shouldn’t be staring at her anymore! I’m her guardian that needs to protect her! I need to make sure she can live safely! That’s what I promised myself! And yet I got excited by looking at her naked body......

N...no.....! When I looked, Asia started to look down.

No! It’s too early for her to look at....

“.............”

I was too late covering my “mini-me”.

“Kyaaa!”

And the one who screamed was me! What am I doing!? I accidentally screamed! I mean it’s embarrassing to have my “mini-me” exposed to a girl!

“......Ah.....”

Asia’s whole body started to go red and she looked to the side. Hey, hey Asia. Don’t forget to hide your private parts! I can see everything! Was my mini-me so astonishing that you forgot to hide your private parts!? Thinking about it, this would be her first time seeing a guy’s thing, since she was a nun. It should have surprised her so much. In the worst case, it might become a trauma for her. Oh my, what have I done to this poor child!

“I...I’m sorry! I will leave now!”

I turned around and tried to leave the bathroom. But...

But Asia grabbed my wrist to stop me from leaving. What’s going on Asia-chan!?

“........I’m sorry. It was......my first time seeing a boy’s....... I’m sorry.....”

I couldn’t hear her say the word for that because she said it while mumbling. Don’t push yourself Asia.

“N....no. I’m sorry as well. I came in without checking..... I’m sorry. I saw a lot of your.....”

I apologised as well. I was the one at fault here. I came in without checking who was inside the bath. I should have checked even if it wasn’t locked, since we gained a new family member. But I burnt the image of Asia’s naked body within my memory. Forgive me if I ever use it.

“No, I understand........ Everyone told me about the rule when you have a bath in Japan, so I’m alright.....”

Huh? She was told? Rule? Japanese rule?

“I heard that there is the thing called having a bath together....... You get to know each other by having a bath together......”

!! Who was it!? Who told Asia this wonderful....! No! Who told Asia this weird information!? No, no. It’s not a mistake. There is a thing like that in Japan. But that’s only with the same gender! Asia continued while her cheeks went red,

“.....I was told to do this with one who is important to me..... I don’t mind if it’s Ise-san..... No, I want to know about Ise-san even more..... That’s why will you have a bath with me....?”

[NOSEBLEED]

So much blood came out from my nose. Lately it has been happening a lot!

.......Wait. It would be dangerous if it stays like this any longer, Asia. I’m also a guy. I will lose myself if I hear a magic word like that! She wouldn’t know what would happen to me if I did. I mean, Asia believes in me from the bottom of her heart. If I become a beast and push her down...... Nooooooooo!! I can’t do that! No, I want to! No, I can’t! I mean this girl! She seems like she'd forgive me even if I do! I can’t do something like that to her! Damn it! This is the situation I longed for! It was stopped just before the good stuff with Buchou! This is revenge! I know that! But if Asia is my partner, I would feel really guilty! Pushing her down is easy. I could do it now with this flow. But the problem is after that. I know I would regret it very much. I probably wouldn’t forgive myself for the rest of my life. If we were in a serious relationship then it wouldn’t be a problem. But Asia and I aren’t in that kind of relationship! Last time with Buchou I went along with the flow, but now I have to control myself! Just having a physical relationship will hurt both of us! I need to protect Asia! I can’t lose myself! It’s endurance, me! I turned around to Asia after I made my mind up. I grabbed on to her shoulders and then opened my mouth. But Asia’s skin was so soft and smooth!!

“Asia! Listen up! Having a bath together....! No! You are a girl, so if a guy enters the bathroom then you have to make sure you defend......”

I was confused myself but I needed to tell Asia what she had to do at times like this. Then.....

[DOOR OPEN]

The door opened.

“Asia-chan. I will leave the towel here......”

My “oka-sama” appeared. She was trying to put the towel on top of the washing machine, but she froze after seeing me and Asia together....... Holy shit. I can’t make any excuses if we don’t have our clothes on! No matter how you look at it, it only looks like a guy and a girl trying to have sex! Mum left the bathroom and her movements were stiff like a robot. Then she shouted.

“Otou-san! We..we are going to have a grandchild!”

I fled the bathroom naked. I hid my face with my hands. There was one thing I was thinking about when I was running towards my room. Someone please kill me!

Part 6

The next morning.

I called Asia into my room. We were sitting opposite each other.

“Listen up, Asia-san.”

“Yes, Ise-san.”

“Guys are beasts. If you get too close to us, we will eat you.”

“........Men are half beast? That is scary...... I can’t walk outside during the full moon then.....”

Asia was taking what I had said seriously. I held my head down....... Man, I’m seriously getting a headache. After the bathroom incident, I was lecturing Asia about how dangerous guys are. This girl is too defenseless..... Well Asia was living in an unordinary place so it can’t be helped. But I have to tell her how guys are beasts when they are my age, and that girls like her would be preyed on easily. If I don’t she won’t be able to have a safe school life. Well if there were guys like that who approached Asia, then I would beat the crap out of them. No that won’t be enough. I need to teach her how her purity is something very important to her. But usually a girl should be teaching her this kind of stuff..... By the way, my parents went to a discount store after that night and bought baby clothes and baby toys. They seemed really happy. I tried to explain to them but they just said.

“Don’t worry, I know. Lately girls get pregnant before marriage, so people are accepting it. Oh my. I would like a girl for my first grandchild!”

“So I will be a grandpa...... If it’s a boy then I have to buy him a carp streamer. Looks like my family has become “international” now. I probably should learn how to speak English now.”

It was useless. My parent’s are worthless.

Now getting back to the part where guys are dangerous. I said it to Asia again.

“That’s not it, Asia. Guy’s around my age are very interested in girls. It’s not an exaggeration if I were to say that they are always thinking about girls. Actually we think about naughty stuff every few seconds. If there is a day where we see a girl's panties, then it’s a festival day for us.”

“Do you also think about naughty stuff as well, Ise-san?”

“Yes, of course. I’m also perverted. Even you know that as well, right, Asia?”

“Yes.”

Asia replied with a smile. Because she was smiling, it made a crack in my heart. Is that so...... So she knows I’m perverted....

“Ye...yes. I’m perverted. Guys like that are really scary. That’s why guys like that drag pure girls like you into a place and do something very bad.”

“Something very bad?”

Asia tilted her head. Man. Each of her actions is damn cute.

“They touch your body. Then they touch your body again. Then again they touch your body! In other words they do indecent actions towards girls! It’s dangerous right? Scary right?”

“Yes, I’m scared. But if I get in danger, Ise-san will come and save me.”

Asia smiled and answered me like she actually meant it. Oh crap...... My eyes are getting hot.... She truly believes in me. I’m deeply moved. No, no. I’m getting off topic. It’s not the time to be moved. I then continued after making a cough.

“But Asia, you have to increase your awareness as a girl. I’m scared because you don’t doubt other people.”

“You are scared, Ise-san?”

“Yes I am. If some guys do something to you when I’m not looking, then I might kill those guys. I’m that worried about you, Asia.”

I told her seriously and sincerely. Asia listened to me seriously as well because I was making a serious face. But I told her what I actually thought. If someone ever deceives Asia, then I won’t hold back even if that person is human. I’m a devil. Also with an insane Sacred Gear. Even if I’m far superior to a human, I won’t hold back my anger. Even if Buchou were to kill me, I will still beat the crap out of that guy. That’s how important Asia is to me. Because she’s a girl? That would be a reason. Because I like her? That would also be a reason. But I also changed her life drastically. I changed her life that she could have finished as a nun to a devil's one. I made her into a devil because of my own justice......no, my own selfishness. At that time, this was the best solution. But I.... Buchou said that it was she who turned her into a devil so I don’t have to worry about it. But that’s not fair. I need to look after her so she can live peacefully. For the rest of my life, that is. I, Hyoudou Issei, need to protect Asia Argento for the rest of my life. I will also protect Buchou, but protecting Asia may be similar yet a bit different. Yes, I should think about it carefully again.

Protecting Buchou. I like Buchou as a girl, and I also look up to her so I have to protect her. It’s similar to how a samurai serves his master. It’s a similar feeling to the subordinate of a person aiming to reach the top.

Protecting Asia. I like Asia as a girl, but more like how a brother loves his little sister. That’s why I am strict on who can get close to Asia. Though I don’t have a sister so I don’t know if it is similar or not. I also want Asia to get stronger as well. So I can always laugh besides her.

“I understand. I won’t make Ise-san worried about me. That’s why, please teach me a lot.”

“Yeah I know. But it’s better to be taught by a girl rather than a person of the opposite sex like me. I will also talk to Buchou and Akeno-san, so just get used to the lifestyle now.”

“Yes.”

Fuuuuu. I made a big sigh. Looks like it will work. In any case, I will talk to the girls once I get to school. But of course I will hide the bathroom incident. Then Asia asked me a question,

“Ummm......Ise-san, can I ask you a question?”

Asia became shy and her face got red. What is it?

“If it was Buchou who was in the bath yesterday.........would you have had a bath with her.......?”

Wha....... I didn’t know what to say because of the sudden question. I never expected Asia to ask me a question like this. But Asia had a serious face even though her face was red. Huh? Why did she ask a question like that? I don’t get it at all. Why did Buchou come into the topic? But if it was Buchou at that scene and she said the same thing Asia did.....

“Ise, come over here. I will wash your back. Ufufufu. Are you getting nervous? It’s alright since you are my cute servant. So you can leave everything to me.”

Buchou’s skinny white fingers touched my back. I started to get horny.

“Here turn around. Ara? Ufufufu. Even though you are nervous, you are stiff down here. It’s just like you, Ise.”

Buchou reached between my legs. And then......

.......... Huh!? Oh shit I was imagining something bad. Ah. There’s blood flowing out of my nose! But I don’t know what I would do if Buchou said that to me!

“Can I wash your boobs, Buchou!?”

I would probably ask her that. I can also imagine Buchou allowing me to while smiling. Damn it! Even if this is my imagination, I could use it for a while! Then when I looked at Asia, her eyes were watery.

“Is that so..... It’s okay if it’s Buchou-san then...... Sob...... It’s okay. I know...... I knew about it already....... But.......sob........”

I started to panic after seeing her.

“What are you two doing, early in the morning?”

A familiar voice. When I turned around it was a girl with crimson hair. It was Buchou. She then made a sigh.

“Bu....Buchou.....”

“A lover’s quarrel in the morning? You two are so close like usual.”

“N...no. This is!”

“Hurry, let’s go. Get ready for lodging.”

Go? Where? Wait, lodging!? Buchou answered me with a smile,

“We will go to the mountain to train.”

Part 7

“Ha.......ha.........”

I was inhaling a lot of air while carrying a load of bags.

“Yahoooooooooooo!”

[Yahoooooooooooo!]

I could hear someone’s echo. Damn it. It must be a mountain hiker. They sure are having fun. Right now I’m in the mountains. We were brought here by Buchou, after she said we were going to train.

Buchou suddenly came to my house this morning, and made me and Asia pack our stuff. The other members were already gathered and we came here by the magic circle transportation. The sky is so blue. The surrounding is filled with tree’s and grass and you can hear the cries of the birds. It would be the best spot for mountain viewing. But the problem is this slope. Every step I take drains my stamina away. And a lot of my sweat falls onto the ground.

“Hurry, Ise.”

Buchou, who is way ahead of me, urges me. Beside Buchou is Asia. She looks at me with a worried expression.

“.....I will help as well.”

“It’s okay. Ise can only get stronger this way.”

I can hear the two talking. Thank you Asia. And Buchou, you are cruel like always........ But carrying this much luggage is too much Buchou..... It’s too heavy....... I have a huge piece of luggage on my back and have other bags on my shoulders. Apparently this is also part of the training. I think I’m going to die before I reach the destination. What’s inside this luggage?

“Buchou, I gathered some herbs. Let’s use it for the meal tonight.”

Kiba says it with a normal expression. He’s also carrying a huge piece of luggage on his back. I lost my words when I saw him walk up the mountains without sweating. He has quite the amount of stamina since he also went to gather some herbs.

“......See you later.”

Koneko-chan who has way more luggage than me walks past me! Guhaa! Superhuman girl! Shit I can’t lose to them!

“Oryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

I then went up the mountain at full throttle! Hahaha! Shit I’m going to die! I’m seriously going to die! Like this we reached the mansion.

Part 8

This mansion, made from wood, is the possession of the house of Gremory. Usually it is hidden from humans by using magical powers, but since we were using it, it had appeared. When I went inside I could smell the scent of wood. I went to the living room to put the bags away and slept on the floor after drinking a glass of water. The girls went upstairs to get changed.

“I will also go and get changed.”

Kiba went to a room located on the first floor carrying a blue jersey.

“Don’t peek.”

Kiba said this jokingly.-

“I will seriously punch you, bastard!”

I didn’t have the strength to stand, so I gave him an evil eye. Shit. If some girls from our school saw us, then they would cause a ruckus. Recently the BL pairings of “Me x Kiba” and “Kiba x Me” were getting popular. It was popular because it was the “Beauty and the Beast” pairing. I don’t understand what’s going on in their heads. Then it means that I’m the beast..... I won’t forgive them! I got changed in another room after I rested for a short time. The room had a bed and certain equipment used in everyday life. But it didn’t have a television. When I finished changing, everyone was already gathered in the living room. Buchou who was wearing a red jersey smiled at me after seeing me.

“Then let’s start our training.”
