Cherreads

Chapter 37 - chapter 37

The day after school was a weird one. Issei rolled off the bed as there was nobody in the bed or the room. As he saw his phone he figured out why it read 12 on the dot. He had slept in all day but Ddraig had told him fatigue would set it but he didn't expect it would be that bad. There was a message on his phone that read 'everything is ready, come get them.'

After reading that, he got cleaned up and dressed and made his way down to the house's main living room. When he entered he saw Irina and Asia in the kitchen as everyone else was sitting down on the couches talking to each other. Rias turned her head as she saw Issei standing in the doorway "You're awake!" She called out to him.

Bobbing his head up and down he moved over to a chair and took a seat at the dinner table. "Yeah Longinus Smasher took a lot out of me."

"What do you plan on doing today?" Rias asked him, wondering if he wanted to do anything even if it's past noon.

"Food, and then I need to take Katase and Murayama to Olympus to get their weapons. Hephestus messaged me some time and said they are ready." Irina placed a bowel in front of him as there were noodles and beef along with other assortments of goodies on it. "Thank you."

Irina smiled at him, "We made ramen for lunch and prepared a bowel for you already." Issei was chowing down as he needed fuel. After a long lunch, Issei sat around with the girls as they waited for time to pass. But after they killed a few hours and gathered up the recipients of the trip they made their way down into the basement where they teleported.

"Are you ready to go?" Akeno asked as she was working her magic.

Issei Katase and Murayama looked at each other as they were ready to leave. "Looks like it. It shouldn't be a long trip." Akeno activated the magic circle and sent them away. When the light died down it was nothing but girls left in the house as they headed back upstairs.

When they were in the elevator Akeno held out her hand as a box appeared "Issei still owes me."

Rias looked at the box as she remembered seeing it with a red string around it. "Is that what I think it is?" She asked Akeno as the other girls didn't know what it was.

Akeno nodded "It is"

"I thought it was bigger and there was no string on it."

"What is it?" Asia asked not sure what it was.

"Well, you see…" Akeno had a smile on her face as the elevator door opened up.

The trio however landed on the outskirts of the city in a wooded area. "Where are we?" Murayama asked as this didn't look like a grand city.

"Looks as if the coordinates didn't translate perfectly. We are in the northern forest outside the city." Issei pointed down the road "Quick walk and we should be there soon."

That quickly ended up being a five-minute walk down a path as they came across a large gate that was guarded. It was one of the grand entrances into the city that had a gate that spanned over 30 feet into the air with large gold bars. As they got close the guards had spears in their hands as they crossed them "Halt! State your business."

This was extremely odd for Olympus to have its gates closed as Issei answered "Personal business."

"Nice try, state your business." They answered back at him.

"I'm sorry, are you denying me entrance? Never once have I been denied entrance to my home." Issei pointed to his left hand as the boosted gear on his hand appeared "Summon the guard commander."

Katase and Murayama didn't like how this was going already as it wasn't going well. He held his right hand back signaling for them to calm down. The other guard pushed his finger on his ear as he began explaining the situation. But soon the gate opened as a Woman with an armored skirt and somewhat fashionable top with long brown hair and a sword on her hip and a shield on her back appeared. She took one look at what was going on as raised the guard's spears crossing in front of them. "Issei what's going on?"

"Good to see you as well, Athena. But the guards aren't letting me in."

Athena nodded as she waved them past. "Come." She let them in as they ascended the stars to Olympus. "I understand why they didn't let you in. You don't give off that feeling like other gods do."

"Some things happened as I'm more of a dragon now."

Athena chuckled at that "I figured out that much. So what brings you here…" SHe turned her head back to the two girls following them. "I assume it's because of them?"

"Yeah, these are two of my pawns. Katase has the pink and Murayama has the brown."

"Hello" They both smiled and waved at Athena.

"I ordered some swords for them and Hephestus said they were finished."

Athena took a look at the girls "Huh a Hephestus blade for the first and only swords."

"They do the kendo thing in Japan and I gave them Ascalon and my blade for training. But it was best if they got personalized blades." He told her as he reached the top of the stairs revealing the ancient-looking city that looked as if it was cleaned every day.

The four of them walked through the streets of the city as people were looking at them. "So how's your team DxD going? We've heard that a special task force was made due to the looming threat but no news so far."

They turned down into an ally as the temperature got hotter as they were getting closer to the forges. "We got into a fight yesterday. Killed and sealed Grendel away and captured Euclid Lucifuge."

"That's good to hear. Let's hope that this ends before anything outlandish happens." Athena stopped as they heard the banging of metal and the heat. "This is your stop. I have other things to deal with due to the chaos. Maybe we can talk sometime later." She winked at him as she walked away back to her duties.

Before Issei opened the door Katase said what she and Murayama were thinking. "She likes you."

"Yep, but she's a vCard for life kind of girl. Oil and Water don't mix." Issei pushed on the door as they entered a massive building. Inside they saw all kinds of people working at forges crafting all manner of things from swords to farm equipment. They navigated to the back of the building as they came across a tall man with short brown hair that had no business looking that good for his environment. "Hephaestus" Issei called out to the god as he turned around seeing the group of people behind him.

"Oh good, you're here." He moved over to a table that had two traditional Japanese swords on it "The blades you requested are finished." He looked at the two girls "I had a feeling these were going to be for some girls." He pushed a piece of paper towards the girls "I just need you to pick how you wanted the hilts finished." It took a few minutes for them to decide but they decided to go with a traditional look with vibrant colors. They decided the hilts would be wrapped in a Pink and Brown weave for the grips.

Hephaestus grabbed the colors of the colored string they wanted and worked his magic wrapping the grips with his magic making the string have a perfect yet unbreakable weave. Hephaestus handed the freshly minted blades to the girls. "Thanks for this Hephaestus."

"Think nothing of it. I'm surprised you came to me when you could have used the Gremory family's resources."

"I could have." Issei said thinking about it for a moment "But what makes a good blade is beyond me. But you however know that." While Issei was lost talking to Hephaestus, Katase and Murayama turned around and saw Artemis behind them as they bowed "Lady Artemis."

She reached down and with her index fingers lifted their heads "Formalities are not needed." She watched as Issei turned around "How much longer will you be here?"

"We only came for the swords. Going to have a small training session so they can be acclimated to their new blades."

"Well let's go back to your home." Artemis said getting Issei's attention. She pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket and placed it on Hepehstus's table "Order form for arrowheads." She said as the four of them were engulfed in light as she teleported them away.

Artemis already had the coordinates to teleport back and forth to the Hyoudou household whenever she felt like it. And just like that, we're back in the basement. "That was quick." Murayama looked around as they saw they were back home.

"Yeah just put your blades away for now." Issei said as moved towards the door "We'll get together in a bit." Reaching for the door handle he opened the door as he saw Akeno on the other side with a few other girls as they pounced on him pinning him to the ground.

"Sorry, Issei." Rias said as Akeno had a small bottle in her hand as she popped the cork and poured the contents down his throat. He felt his body get real light as his head was spinning and before he knew it he was out cold.

"Did you just drug him?" Murayama asked as she watched the Girls get off him as Artemis picked him up and slung him over her shoulder.

"It will be worth it." They heard a voice from the doorway as they looked up and saw Aphrodite standing there.

Issei was dumped in his bedroom as everyone was downstairs waiting for the impending chaos. Ten minutes passed as they were watching the TV. "So how long should this take?" Kiryuu asked while they were flipping through the channels on the TV.

"Who knows," Akeno said. "The note said it would take some time and didn't give any set time. I am somewhat excited to see it."

"Was this necessary to do that to him?" Asia asked as Ravel agreed with her.

They heard the door open and looked as they saw a skinny girl standing there with long brown hair that stopped about halfway down her back as she had on a red and black knee-length skirt with a black fitted t-shirt on. They saw that she had a red hair tie in her hand as she was gathering her hair up and pushing it into a ponytail. "Yes, was this necessary? I would have drank it if you asked." The voice was pitched up slightly and had a smoother sound to it than Issei ever could hope to attempt.

Looking around she waited for somebody to say anything as they looked at her. "What do we call you?"

She moved over closer to them as they all watched her sit down next to Aphrodite. "What was the name you used last time?"

"I went by Isis the first time, but we can't use that name anymore. And last time it was Iris." Issei now Iris told them.

"You look the part but are you fully dressed for the part?" Kiryuu asked, looking her over.

Iris lifted her shirt up showing off her well-toned stomach that she retained, she showed off the bottom of a pink bra that was satin and shiny. "I'm cool with this by the way. Because I know I sound conceited but I look good so it doesn't bother me."

Katase had an eye twitched looking at Iris "Are you… have a... You know."

"A vagina?" Aphrodite asked as she looked down at her now-looking daughter. "Let's find out." She shoved her hand up Iris's skirt reaching around. Irina and Asia covered their faces not wanting to see what was to come. Aphrodite rummaged around as she pushed the panties as her fingers pressed upon the entrance and spread it around. "Yep."

Iris's voice was higher pitched as she pulled Aphrodite's hand out "How would you like it if I did that to you?"

"Do you want to?" Aphrodite asked wondering how far down the rabbit hole it would go. "Would you?" Artemis followed up.

"May...probably." Iris looked around at everyone "Look let's get some questions out of the way." She looked at Kiryuu "It's 96 and don't hurt yourself thinking about it. Yes, I have all of my powers and I can still access my Balance breaker. No, I am not as strong in this female form, and no that is not a jab at men being stronger than women." Looking at Rossweisse "I can guess that you want to know how it's done?" She saw Rossweisse nod "Well can't help you on that one. Freya is one of the few practitioners of old-school alchemy magic and I was her test subject, it came with some amazing perks." Aphrodite snickered at that as she could see nipples slightly protruding.

"Alchemy is an odd subject but it's the foundation of modern chemistry without the magic involved. It's so old that it was in use when humans used magic on a larger scale than they do now. It was already on the decline when I was around your age." Aphrodite explained as she looked at Artemis.

"I might be able to do some of the smaller things. But modern magic is so much easier and yields better results." Artemis looked towards Iris "How much power have you lost?"

She shrugged "Not sure, I know I'm not as strong and some things I've tried hurt me when they shouldn't."

"Such as?"

"Well, I once slammed my hand in a door to see if it would hurt. Mind you this was the first time I was Freya's guinea pig and it hurt… I cried but I never said I was smart." She told them.

"Okay then" Artemis stood up from her seat. "How about this, you already said that these two girls needed to try out their swords. So let's make it interesting, you show me a spar between the two of them and yourself before dinner and I'll make it worth your while."

Iris lifted her eyebrow questioning all the possibilities "I'm the King of perverts." Everyone caught it as that was the first time Iris referred to Issei.

"Then we have to test that claim. Come let's find out." Artemis said as everyone made their way downstairs to head off to the training dimension.

Once inside the green fields of grass Katase and Murayama drew their new katanas. Artemis pulled a small piece of metal out of her pocket and pushed on the top of it and let go. It turned into the large metal staff as she passed it to Iris. "That's your only weapon, no boosted gear."

Twirling the staff around it came to rest on her shoulders behind her neck as she put her arms upon it. Looking down at her breasts she hopped up and down jiggling her tits. Everyone else saw Issei trapped in the body of a girl as she was smiling watching her breasts jiggle around. "Begin!"

Rolling the staff off her neck she saw the two girls charge at her. They both went for a downward swing in unison as she pushed the staff towards them to deflect their attacks. Iris didn't put enough power in as when their attacks pushed back, sending the staff back at her. Stepping back she pulled the staff back and twirled it trying to deflect any oncoming damage. With Katase on the Left and Murayama on the right, she took a few steps back as they repositioned for the next attack.

Iris ran at them as she saw them going for the next attack. Katase swung her sword inward going for an inward swing and Murayama went again for the downstroke. Iris positioned the staff between them to block their attack. While she was successful in doing it the two Kendo girls smiled as they grabbed hold of Iris with their free hands as she saw magic circles activate.

Electricity came out from their hands sending it into Iris as they heard a high pitch scream from her. She immediately dropped the staff and fell to her knees. Katase and Murayama towered over holding their swords at her as she was heavily breathing. "Are you going to give up?" Murayama asked, thinking she had the high ground.

"Are you still wearing those boring-ass white panties?" Iris asked as she raised her hands and flicked their skirts up to distract them. Her hands continued up as it reached their stomach and she pushed on them, toppling them over. She quickly grabbed the staff and hit them in the hands forcing them to drop their weapons as they recoiled from the pain as they fell over. When they hit the ground there was one more hit as the staff was shoved into their waist pinning them to the floor as if it was a lap bar on a rollercoaster. Sitting on the floor between them she held the staff in place waiting to see if they would give up.

"We give up." Katase said as they watched Iris smile at that while watching Akeno walk up behind her.

"It could be worse. The staff could be below your legs." Iris felt another electrical shock in her back as she screamed once again. Looking back she saw Akeno standing above her "Damn it Akeno this clothing isn't made for combat. You're going to light this bra on fire at this rate."

"Underwire? Interesting choice that explains a few things."

Iris stood up taking the staff with her. She made her way back to the group as she tossed the staff back at Artemis. "So what do I win?"

Artemis caught the staff as she collapsed it "You win nothing because I like white panties."

Iris was deflated hearing that "Well that's no fun. White panties are no fun, they're so bland and only a few girls can make them work."

Artemis found her chance and ran with it. "Yeah, the full brief cut is satisfying. The way it covers everything is so satisfying." She saw Iris sank lower as the girls were talking among themselves

Akeno stood out from everyone and decided to be the voice they all needed. "I think this was a mistake. Iris looks good but it's just not the right change for Issei."

"Yes, I tend to agree." Artemis wasn't a fan of it. "Issei is best left as a man."

Aphrodite thought about it as she wondered what was best. "I'm not so lost on it as you all are. The upside is the male version will give me grandchildren."

"Of Course you would be fine with it." Artemis shook her head at even the thought of what could be running through Aphrodite's brain.

"Yes, well, I'm open to things." Aphrodite said as she walked away "Dinner also happens to be one of those things." A snap of her fingers was heard as disappeared into a pile of Roses.

"Can you do that?" Kiryuu asked as Iris thought about it.

"I wished I could when I was younger." They all returned to the house following Aphrodite as they needed to get dinner prepared.

It took a few hours as they ate and cleaned everything up as they had made their way downstairs into the bath. Katase, Murayama, and Kiryuu all looked at each other as they knew what must be done. Before they undressed they went over to Iris and the three of them grabbed hold of her. "I'm tired of this already." Murayama said, getting everyone's attention as she grabbed Iris's shirt and pulled it off revealing the satin bra while Katase and Kiryuu held her arms so she couldn't struggle. Murayama got to work as she pulled off the skirt leaving her in her bra and panties.

Iris used what little strength she had to play along as she got rid of the others. She quickly took an arm and covered a breast and the other hand ran between her legs covering her underwear. "Eeek" She let out a fake and highly unconvincing scream "You perverts." She could only smile at them.

As Iris got up, ending the schrade Kiryuu spun her around showing off the satin bikini cut underwear. "Seriously?" They asked seeing what was hidden.

"Yes, now undo the hooks." Iris told them as Katase reached up and undid them. Once undone she set the breasts free. When she turned around she handed them the bra showing the massive breasts.

"It's not fair." Murayama said as she was feeling the bra.

"Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline." Iris struck a pose showing off as she took the bra back and got undressed.

"Do devils even wear makeup?" Katase asked as she grabbed Iris's arm and dragged her as they moved into the rest of the bath. They were trying to make it a punishment but Iris was enjoying it.

It took a bit as everyone was in the bath relaxing as there were some uncomfortable looks that Katase and Murayama were giving off at Iris. "Just say it already." Iris told them.

"Fine but you owe us the other half of that story." Murayama said as Iris tilted her head waiting for the rest. "Your female form is good-looking and an insult to all women." There was some nodding coming from the other girls who felt that they had lost their Issei.

"It could be worse, you could be a man." Iris said as she had a follow-up planned already. "Or when bribed with free clothing you chose to be modest and take a pair of lime green bra and panties."

Kiryuu raised her hand out of the water and pointed it at Iris. "Those are mine and you know why."

Iris's face lit up "Ohhh yeah, that makes sense then." She shook her head "Anyways it's storytime. As you know what happened in the past year this takes place after we got back from Kyoto and I got sick but before we went back to the underworld to have the Rating Game with Sairaorg." Iris said as if they were transported back in time.

In the clubroom, they heard a knock on the door as it opened up. The guest was none other than Sona Sitri as she was all by herself. "Sona, what a surprise to see you this early." Rias said as she was sitting behind her desk.

"Yes I agree but I need a favor from you." Sona looked Rias in the eyes waiting for the answer.

"I'm listening."

"I need Hyoudou for some time."

Issei perked up hearing that "I don't have any material ready for a date with you, I never expected something like that."

"Saji is down with the Dragon Flu as well." Sona informed everyone ignoring him.

"Just like before." Koneko said as she looked up at Issei.

"I wonder if the supplier is carrying it. All other supernatural visitors have been cleared." Akeno said, thinking of anybody who could have become a carrier.

"We're not sure who has it but the underworld is investigating it. But Saji is down and out for the time being. And I need to borrow his strength." Rias understood Sona's plight but she elaborated more "We lack manpower even though we are devils. I can't have the girls show off supernatural levels of power while Saji is gone. We need to keep the secret hidden from the others. So having Issei fill in the gaps for a brief time as he is already aware of the workings helps."

Rias nodded "I understand why you don't want Gasper as he doesn't look the part physically."

"I'm sorry!" They heard from Gasper's box in the corner of the room.

"But uhh" Rias pointed at Kiba. "Why not Yuuto?" Offering him up as if he was a slab of meat.

Sona shook her head "No can do, some of my girls would not be able to work with Kiba. On the extreme end, it would cause chaos and lack discipline." Issei held up his index finger as she curled his other hand and motioned back and forth with a stick and a hole. "There are just too many problems that would arise as they are Highschool girls in the end."

Issei felt a smack on his leg from Koneko "But Issei is a pervert."

"I'm clearly aware of that but that's not a problem in this case."

Rias looked over at Issei "Sona has faith in you Ise. If that's the case I want you to help her out for the time being."

Koneko moved to the side as she let Issei get up and grab his stuff. "Thank you, Rias." She smiled as the two made their way off. The two of them walked in silence as they made it to the Student council room. As they entered, Sona took charge of her group. "Everyone, our emergency meeting is going to start." She gave a glance at Issei as he took a seat "Due to Saji's current state I borrowed Issei from the Occult Research club to be our manpower." Issei waved at the girls "With that said, help him with the tasks at hand as we have plenty to deal with as the festival is approaching as is our next match."

They took off like a rocket as their meeting began talking about the inner workings of the school and planning out what to do. But it turned into a thirty-minute grind session of taking notes about everything that was going on. When the meeting finished Issei felt a hand on his shoulder "We need to get going." He saw the auburn hair Knight Tomoe's hand on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry where are we going?"

Out from under the desk she lifted a bag that had kendo sticks poking out of it. "Patrol and chores!" She smiled as she said that "Since you're filling in for Saji this is part of his work, plus this is a job that is more to your talents."

"Doing work that doesn't require thinking I'm the same way." Issei saw the shoulder-length blue-haired Rook Tsubasa.

Issei wondered about Tsubasa. Was she manlier than Xenovia? Was Xenovia manlier? Or were the girls in the school just crazy that she was popular due to her female form with tomboy looks? "Yeah, physical work is more for me."

"Good then let's head out. You can call me Yura" She said as Tomoe and Issei made their way through the halls and off to wherever they had first on the list. Their first stop was the staff room to see if there was anything else that needed to be dealt with.

But then the fun began as Tsubasa looked at Issei "It's time for the business."

"Business?" Issei asked not having any clue what was about to happen.

"We do the leg work around here. When we get to the club room you will understand." Tomoe said as they walked down the halls to one of the many club rooms. "The student council is going to confirm rumors about improper activities."

"Surprise attack under the cover of darkness works best." Tsubasa said as she ripped open the door "SURPRISE INSPECTION!" She yelled at them.

"She likes doing this." Tomoe told Issei as it showed that the girls had fun.

Controlled chaos was the best Issei could call it as one by one clubrooms were flipped looking for anything or if the kids were doing anything out of character. Some people tried to run. They didn't last long but most just gave up as Issei watched the girls work their magic.

That's when it came to the bane of Issei's existence. "The Manga club has been secretly drawing questionable material." Tsubasa told him but Issei had been well aware of what was spreading around the girls.

Like clockwork, she threw the door open startling everyone in the room "Shit it's the student council." One of the boys said as they panicked.

Issei stood in the doorway as Tsubasa and Tomoe pushed everyone around "We've heard about a suspicious manga that's in circulation and we came for it. And it's time for an inspection."

The clubhead had no choice but to agree. But the club members watched on as the two girls looked through the manga they had seen as relatively tame books in their possessions, nothing out of order. "Why is the beast here? It should be Kiba." A few of the girls complained.

"Saji has the flu and he's the substitute."

"It's not fair that Kiba isn't here." More of the girls cried about it.

"If it makes you feel any better he's still not going to ask you out on a date." Issei rubbed it into them as he got spiteful looks from all the girls.

Tomoe looked around the room as they finished inspecting the manga on the shelves as the club president tried to get them to leave as soon as possible. "Tsubasa," Tomoe said as she was looking at the ground near a computer. "This computer has dust scattered around that doesn't match the others."

The two of them went in to take a look as they pulled the tower out "That's." The three devils caught the low talks "quiet"

Tomoe pulled the tower case out and pushed the side of the case off as Tsubasa snapped her fingers and Issei blocked the doorway as one of the kids tried to make a run for it. Issei only laughed as the kid was blocked and out of the case spilled out papers everywhere.

They sorted through the papers and even booklets. "The Beast Hyoudou x Prince Kiba 15" Tsubasa read out as everyone was doomed hearing that "This is a violation of the school rules."

"It's an artistic art form." The club president tried making excuses and none of it was sticking.

"That's nice and all but it's still not allowed."

"But so many girls are waiting for the next issue. You can't do that to them"

"Anyways report to the supervising teacher and we are confiscating these" Tomoe told them as they carried them away.

"Wait please Hyoudou answer something for me." The president pleaded with Issei as the girls in the clubroom were crying.

"What?" He didn't like where this was going.

"Between you and Kiba, who is the pin and who is the cushion?"

"The balls of you to ask that." Issei looked at the president as raised his hands and curled them like he was going to squeeze something. "I like breasts, not men. Weirdo." As the three of them left the clubroom as the door shut they could hear Issei talking "I know the best way to burn these things." Adding even more insult to injury.

After a few more hours of work, Issei came out of one of the bathrooms he ran into the long black-haired beauty of the Sitri group Tsubaki. "Hello Hyoudou" She greeted him as he nodded "I see you are taking your work seriously. I had my suspicions if you would be a valid substitute." Issei nodded as there was a shine of light across her glasses "Hyoudou"

"Yes"

"With your experience in combat with Loki and the troubles in Kyoto you have proven to be an excellent devil." Praise was far from what Issei expected "But you have far too strong sexual desires. You need to have an appropriate mind to match your high school male body. Don't you think you have an obligation to make your master and others more regal?"

Issei shook his head as he looked around to make sure no humans could listen."No, that's not how it works when perversion is in your blood. I don't get to turn it on or off whenever I feel like it. That and our bank accounts have grown massively due to my perversion. My first underworld bank check had an exponent on it. Rias is already loaded but Kiba and Koneko have to be seeing massive funds as well."

"Oh Ise and Tsubaki, how are you?" It was Kiba of all things with his impeccable timing.

"Ah Kiba perfect timing. How much was your…."

"Kkkkkkiba…" Tsubaki interrupted him as her words stumbled out of her mouth while her voice was squeaky. "What are you doing over here?"

Kiba did what he did best for all the girls. When he came across he simply smiled as spoke to her and turned her to mush. "I just came to check on Issei here to see how he was doing."

"Then there's no need to worry. Hyoudou is doing an amazing job." It was a complete 180 from how she was just speaking to him. The difference was that she was a deer caught in the headlights of Kiba's eyes as she was enamored with him. "Can I ask you something?" Her face developed a light red tinge.

"What is it?"

"Do you have a-a-a-any girls t-t-t-that you're in a relationship right now?" Issei was more than impressed that she was bold enough to ask him that. But it showed that her serious attitude could even be melted by Kiba.

"No nothing along those lines." When she heard those words her face turned brighter.

"Ah yes, that's good." She sighed in relief "I still have much to do still but it was good to talk to you." She walked away with a smile on her face and in an overall great mood.

Kiba looked at Issei as they watched her walk away. "Ever since we had that match with the Sitri peerage she has been cautious when she speaks to me. I wonder if I said anything that makes her act like that."

"Naw man." Issei had a small chuckle as he patted his shoulder. "I am not going to ruin the art of discovery. It's fun to figure it out."

After a bit, Issei made his way back to the student council clubroom as most of the girls were in there. He saw Tsubaki sitting down lost in her own little world as the other girls were watching her. Issei took his seat as the girls looked at him "Tsubaki is thinking about one thing and one thing only right now Kiba." Tsubasa told him.

"She got beat by him right?" Issei asked.

"Yep, but at first she liked boys younger than her. But after Kiba beat her it was nothing but him on the brain." Tsubasa kept answering his question.

"She was immune to the playboy's charms? Scary." Issei said, thinking about how the girls just flocked to Kiba.

"It's not uncommon for that to happen." Reya said as she looked over at two other girls "But Momo and Ruruko have a crush." She was looking at the white-haired bishop and the brown-haired twin-tailed girl. "A sweet crush on Gen."

"Gen? On Saji?" Issei had a small chuckle "And here I thought he was going to be lonely surrounded by women."

"It's ironic that he only has eyes for Sona. And she sees him as a younger brother; it's a vicious loop."

"I thought Hanakai liked Kiba? What changed?" Issei asked as he remembered that he heard it straight from the breasts themself.

"She saw how Saji was determined to get stronger. And that's what changed the maiden's heart." Tsubasa told him.

"Well, Kiba is much easier to talk to now and much friendlier now than ever." Reya said with a smile on her face.

Kiba had mellowed out after the Kokabiel incident "Okay so Kiba is popular here, what about me?"

There were some pauses as Tsubasa and Reya thought about how to word everything. "You're somewhat off-limits. Most of us think that Rias or Akeno would kill us if we tried. But all the girls around you are strong… abnormal might be better." Reya said as Issei thought about it. Rias and Akeno's love was rabid and Asia was no better. So he could understand where they were coming from.

"I think I like you over Kiba or Saji." Tsubasa said, getting Issei to snap to attention.

"Really?"

She nodded "Yeah I like the down and dirty kind of guys. But Kiba and Saji don't have that ridiculous strength to increase masculinity as you do."

Issei got out of his chair as he walked over to Tsubasa "Alright then." He reached down and picked her up out of the chair as he held her in a princess carry as he walked back to his seat. The other girls watched on to see what was going to happen. He sat back down as Tsubasa was on his lap in his arms facing the girls as they watched her face turn red.

"Tsubasa always praises you and now she's getting a reward. I wonder if you would do the same for Sona." Reya said as they watched the two of them. Tsubasa was almost putty but still somewhat firm as Reya asked an important question "Out of all of the Gremory peerage who's better?"

"Better? Is there even better when it comes to them?" Issei asked them to get them thinking as he knew what they wanted. "Rias is just amazing, Asia is just a little muffin who I can't let go of. Akeno wants to have all of the pre-marital fun. Koneko is well a kitten who wants nothing but what she has claimed."

"Okay, then who do you like the most."

Issei wiggled his left hand showing off the ring. "It's hard to pick but she is number one."

"It's worse than we thought." Reya said as the other agreed.

A few days passed after his grilling as this was going to be his last day. Saji was for the most part recovered. Issei had learned quite a bit about the Sitri girls as they weren't so evil due to their position only that most of them had a high attention to detail. When he entered the Student Council room he saw a massive cake. "Cake?" He asked as all of the girls were there.

"This cake was made for you Issei." Sona said from behind the cake as she turned it around as there were words on it that read Thank you for your hard work.

"You made this cake?" Issei asked as he pointed at Sona.

"That's correct." Sona said as a few girls made odd faces or squirmed hearing that.

"I tried to stop it." Tsubaki said as directed to the others.

Sona was cutting the cake as she handed a plate of it to Issei. Looking at the cake it was a dark black as it appeared to be a dark chocolate cake. But he went on as he took a bite of the cake. There was a lack of the sweetness or richness of chocolate, only the deep bitter and burning sensation in his mouth. It was like the fad where people tried to eat spoonfuls of cinnamon only mixed in as a cake. The problems only continued as the frosting wasn't smooth it has hard and crunchy almost as if he was eating frosted sand with crystals inside. Tsubasa came over to him and whispered in his ear "Sona isn't a great baker and Saji endures her cakes, the problem is Serafall enjoys them so you can't let her down."

It was torture as Issei forced himself to eat the cake. Ddraig was laughing at him while he ate the cake only as Sona was watching him eat the cake making it only worse. But he persevered as he finished the slice and couldn't eat anymore. He saw some of the girls shedding a tear for him as even that was far too much for them.

He set the plate down "Thanks for the cake, it was good." It was as good of a lie as he could muster to describe the cake. "But can I talk to Ruruko, Momo, Tsubaki, and you Sona in another room?"

There was a collective questioning about it as they all agreed as they went down to the next room. With the five of them in it, Issei cast a spell on the room so it was sound and vision proof so nobody could see into it. "You all have a major problem that needs to be dealt you." He told them "But fortunately I can help you solve it."

"And what problem would that be?" Sona asked him.

"Let's start with the easy one first." He went over to Tsubaki "Do you want a date with Kiba that may or may not end in bed?"

Her face turned red at the prospect "I uh but he."

A book appeared in his hand as he held it out to her. "Put your hand on it if you want to." She didn't hesitate and placed her hand on it as the cover of it lit up under her hand. "Good." Issei flipped open the book and pulled a paper out of it. "Follow the instructions in it and don't skip anything. You tell me the day and I'll make it so Kiba goes."

"But how…"

"No questions." He interrupted her the more you prepare the better off it will be. His focus turned back to Sona Ruruko and Momo "The three of you however have a Saji problem."

"Oh no." Ruruko understood where this was going to go.

"I don't see what the problem is." Sona said while she was perceptive enough but she wasn't skilled enough in relationships.

"I'm going to guess that you talk to Rias outside of official things." Sona went to open her mouth as Issei continued "So you know that Rias is the head of the Harem." Issei pointed at her, "You need to be the same for Saji as Rias is for me."

"But why?"

"Why?" Issei said to her "Saji is laser-focused on you. He wants you but you are ignoring that."

"Others like him so I would rather have the others a chance."

His shoulders sunk as he shook his head "That's not how it works. Your experience with relationships is nothing and I understand that. But what you're doing is stringing him along like a puppy. They want to be with Saji but he's not going to see them until you do something about it."

"What do you suggest then?" Sona said with a monotone.

"Ruruko sit down." He said as he waited for her to sit down. "You could talk it out. Between the four of you. OR.." Issei summoned a rose in his hand as he threw it at Ruruko. The Rose exploded as vines wrapped around her, locking her down to the chair as her legs were slightly spread out as the vines wrapped them to the sides and arms tied behind her back. "The three of you could just get down and dirty and fuck him. He's not going to complain if Sona were to say give him a BJ."

"You have got to be kidding." Sona shook her head hearing that as Momo was blushing.

"No, I'm not just taking the harem lead already. You're already controlling the peerage just doing what needs to be done otherwise it is going to cause problems." Issei snapped his fingers as the vines disintegrated away.

"Nothing is ever that simple Ise." Sona looked at him.

"Yes, it is. Men are simple creatures. Hold him, stroke his hair, scratch his back tell him he's doing a great job, and fuck him. And he will be putty. Here's how I know this experience. Sometimes I get more from just holding one of the girls than doing anything else in the day. And being held is another level." Issei left the girls to think about what was to happen in their future.

Back in the current times, Iris saw some of the girls looking at him "So how did that cake go?" Artemis asked.

"Puked it up for hours. It was bad she can't bake but if she wanted to kill somebody then it's a gold standard for it." Iris told them.

"And Kiba?" Katase asked.

"Oh, we ended up having Tsubaki ask him out. I also told Kiba if he told her no then it wasn't going to end well for him."

"You threatened him?" Murayama looked at him with eyes wide as saucers.

"No… well yes but he's mellowed out even more now."

"I have a question." Kiryuu piped up "What's the deal with the book?" Iris and Aphrodite looked at each other as they knew where this was going to be heading.

"You two clearly know something." Rossweisse said to them "Issei was able to fix my clothes with it."

"Okay," Aphrodite spoke up "Everything that Iris was told about the book was a joke. Only two books were created. One for me and for well currently her. My book first started as a funny joke between Freya and myself. I would get laid and would recount the story to her and we planned on selling a book so unbelievable that it was going to be funny. Well, it never went anywhere after many many years. Then Issei came along and then we found out he had the Boosted Gear and that changed everything. We decided to convert the book into a spell-casting medium. Things happened and one thing turned into another we found out Issei was really into girls." She reached over and grabbed Iris's tits and squeezed them "As you all have seen."

"Hey!" Iris tried swinging her arms around but it was far too late for that.

"Anyways" Aphrodite went back to explaining everything. "We converted the book into a one-stop-shop for women. Bras panties tops bottoms lingerie even tampons and pads. Even though the last two aren't exactly needed for the supernatural but it never could hurt for a man to be prepared. That became the book I'm in possession of. After the first one worked amazingly we put a spell on little Issei to log all the information necessary for the next book. When he was young he was never going to know about the spell nor would Ddriag care. Also, let's be real he's too dumb to work magic."

"I sent him off during puberty to shack up with Freya and Issei lost his V card. Of all the goddesses to pick from I think it was a good choice."

"Was I not good enough? Artemis asked as in sync the two of them turned to look at her.

"You've been hung up on Orion for so long you need to broaden your horizons."

"The last person I need dating advice from is you, Aphrodite. Your advice started a war." Artemis pointed at her.

"It's not my fault that the stupid little price decided to choose a married woman and not understand the big picture." Her focus shifted over to the other girls "Are you tired of Iris? You want Issei back."

"Yes," The girls shouted out.

"You heard them stand up and face them," Aphrodite told them as she per her hand on Iris's ass. Holding out two fingers her index and middle the two of them were coated with a magic power as she pushed them into Iris' butt cheeks

"Hey, what!" She screamed out as the two fingers entered her ass with no preparation "That's my asshole."

"Yeah yeah shut up, I don't make these rules." Her fingers were digging their way in as far as they could until she found a lump. The magic of changing him into a woman wasn't perfect and it had an early kill switch. That switch happened to be the prostate as with two fingers she pushed down on it and stroked it. Iris's legs were wobbling as her fingers were stimulating it as fast as possible. Water splashed around as she fell as her legs were jelly. Aphrodite saw it working as she was nearly done "Would you look at that." She smacked Iris's vagina a few times as it was dripping fluids "Almost there."

Iris was screaming as she fell limp as fingers were pulled out as the body sank in the water for a moment. The girls scrambled to pull him up. "Wait!" Aphrodite called out.

They waited for a second as out of the water Issei popped up fully drenched gasping for air as he made his way to the edge struggling to hold on. "That hurt so much." Issei said as his face was on the edge of the hot spring. "My whole body hurts, everything tingles."

"Annnnnnd he's a man again. Good ole prostate orgasm."

Akeno got behind him and pulled him into her as they sank back into the water as his head rested in her breasts. Rias looked at them "Why does that even work."

"Women don't have prostates so Freya made it a killswitch." Most of the girls were still in awe of what just happened.

Akeno's hands however slid down his body and was playing with his balls and shaft as he felt something else. "Please take that out Akeno." He asked as he felt something in his ass again.

"Nope." Akeno just held onto him he didn't have much of a choice.

"If I'm honest here I didn't expect the Greek gods to be so strange." Kiryuu said as she got looks from Aphrodite and Artemis.

"And what did you expect?" Artemis asked the poor girl.

"I don't know something like that show Xena." One word was all it took as Issei started laughing and Aphrodite and Artemis were unhappy hearing that name as the mood for them changed.

"Did I say something wrong?" Kiryuu looked over at Issei wondering what was wrong.

"Yeah… you brought up that show," Issei said as he looked around as some of the girls were clueless about what happened. "Okay, a quick history lesson. Back when we were all young there was this show on American TV about Hercules and his friend Iolaus. Well, that show got a spin-off called Xena warrior princess. Both shows are a hot mess that messes with Greek history kinda badly. But these two have their names in the show well most gods do but only these two hate it."

"Why?" Koneko asked him

"Artemis hates it because she dies in the show, killed by Xena. Aphrodite hates it because it portrays her way too well. And ironically Athena likes it and she is the one who showed me that hot dumpster fire. Think of it as a bad retelling of a bad story but it's a fun ride to see."

"Girls." Artemis got their attention "I think it's best if we leave." She got out of the water as did Aphrodite.

Akeno however sat there holding Issei as the others got out Aphrodite looked at her "Have fun" Akeno only smiled as she started to nibble on Issei's ear.

While waiting for everyone to clear out she was slowly stroking him "You know I've been thinking about this for a while now." She whispered in his ear as they watched everyone getting dried off and leaving the room. "But I'm going to be on the other side." She lifted him and laid him on his back on the edge of the hot spring.

"Ah shit," Issei said as he saw his prized sex toy about to be used against him. Akeno could only smile as she pushed her hips forward.

Outside the room, the girls hear Issei's final words "Should we?" Asia asked, not knowing how to deal with what was happening.

"No, no Asia." Aphrodite said guiding the more curious ones away. "Sometimes we all need to let out our kinks. Some people know perfectly well what their kink is and others don't."

"And Akeno's is what exactly?" Murayama asked, still somewhat concerned but not as much as possible.

"She is a sadist." Rias told them as she was finished getting dressed.

"Then Issei is a masochist?" Katase asked as questions were spinning in their heads.

"He doesn't come off as that type…."Kiryuu said as she started thinking about things. "Unless that's why he got beat up every day."

"You girls are overthinking it." Aphrodite said as she snapped the back of her bra "It's more of making a girl happy." She looked over at Katase and Murayama "The two of you shacked up with him so that should be somewhat cleared."

The two girls clammed up as they heard that "How do you?"

"Know about it?" SHe asked "I can see a Virgin a mile away. Young girls are so easy to figure out." She moved over to each one of the girls "Asia here wants a vanilla time. Koneko and Ravel oh you two are so funny how you demand of him and want everything. Xenovia is a bend me over and dump. And Rias is making sure all focus is on her." She made her way over to Rossweisse and Irina "You two, Student-teacher is always hot and a pervert and an angel will be fun to watch."

Making her way to leave as she heard them mumbling and complaining "If you know theirs then what's yours?" Kiryuu called out as she walked away waving.

"It's vanity." Artemis said, getting their attention. "She used her looks to get things she's wanted for millennia." That gave some of them some thoughts for a while.

Issei however roughed it out for an hour as Akeno had her way with him. But once she was satisfied with getting everything she wanted from him he had to make a stop somewhere. That stop was none other than his mother's office. He might have been lacking a shirt but at this point, it's not as if it mattered. He opened the door and peeked his head inside as he noticed Aphrodite and Artemis sitting on the couch with just enough room between them. "Get in here," Aphrodite said as he entered. He saw that both of them had on very thin lace that was completely see-through nightgown that rested on their shoulders. There were no bras and only slightly viable underwear of some sort that covered only what was necessary. Artemis' one was in a dark green and to no one's surprise, Aphrodite was in a popping hot pink. "Come sit." Aphrodite tapped her hand on the couch between them "How's your ass."

Issei sat down between them "Not the first time I've had it in my ass and not my last."

"When was the last time? Been a few years?"

Issei thought about that "Real talk this says here." The two of them nodded as they understood why something like that would be said. "Rias' mother Venelana fucked me in the ass while Rias was riding me."

"Hot damn mother daughter fuck on one man."

"Yeah," Issei said as he clearly remembered that night "There was no sleep that happened as she had a weird cock ring. But it all started when I tried to get a deal with her to sell my toy. Apparently, Rias wanted to do the same thing only with Akeno so that happened." He wasn't paying too much attention as Artemis was rubbing her legs together.

"That sounds like fun." She put a hand on his chest and activated a magic circle as his clothes disappeared from her body and into her hand as she tossed them away. Her hand reached down to his cock as she started stroking it. "Look at Artemis, I think you made her horny."

Issei looked over as he saw that she had her hands on her lap but her nipples were fully erect. "Yes yes, she is" His eyes were fixated on Artemis as he felt a pair of breasts get pushed into him.

With her free hand Aphrodite reached over and lifted the nightgown "Maybe you can help her out" She whispered in his ear manipulating these events. They were trapped in that room with her.

"May I?" He asked as her face was red not knowing how she wanted to respond.

"I'm not hearing a no." She seductively said in his ear as she was running her nails up and down his erection.

"I also didn't hear a yes." He said as the two ladies stopped moving as they made eye contact.

Artemis looked at Issei looking for that one final safety to remove. "And if I say no?

"Then mother would have done all of this for nothing and we both might need to find some porn." Issei flipped all the switches and levers.

"Then you may." Her shoulders sank preparing for what was about to commence. "The first in a long time." Issei flipped everything in the right order as clearance was granted. He was quick to flop over her sitting nude on her lap with an erection touching her belly as he went in for a kiss. She had already closed her eyes, not expecting this of all things. But their tongues quickly intertwined as they made out.

Aphrodite was seeing something else down south but only watched as she was in no better condition. Artemis however knew that she was getting wet but it was so long from her last make-out session that her brain was working in serial. Issei backed out of the session as he looked down at her "I hate to do this beautiful but would you mind if I got onto the main course we can continue the appetizer during that."

She didn't give any objections as he got off her and took hold of her hand lifting her as he saw the full extent. Raising her hand he twirled her around as the nightgown ballooned out from the spin but he saw all he wanted as she had on a small thong. Kneeling down he reached up and slid down her thong leaving the nightgown intact. He tossed it aside and conveniently at Aphrodite's face. When he stood up, his hands went behind her as he picked her up and moved over to the closest wall. Pinning her to the wall Issei did what he did best as he penetrated her in one fell swoop. It was warm and extremely tight like a virgin as her legs wrapped around him locking him in. "Before we go on I want to say this. If you don't want a relationship with me I understand and I'm happy to resolve this. I just want you to love me again and maybe you might pick me later down the road. But tonight it's something different." He didn't let her answer him as he began thrusting away as he continued the makeout session.

Aphrodite only watched as the two of them went at it. There was no position swapping, only Issei jackhammering away as Artemis was turning to mush over a half hour. It was a massive turn on for her as she watched her son break the Olympic god of the hunt. While she may have been a goddess she was no stronger than a human as orgasm after orgasm sent her into a slumber. "That was most impressive." She said as she watched Issei put Artemis on the couch. Issei sat down in between them "Looks as if she enjoyed it."

"I would hope so." Issei saw the look on his mother's face as if she had something planned.

She stood up showing that she had on the same thing as Artemis did as she moved over to a small fridge in the room. Bending over she showed everything off as the inside of her leg was wet. Issei understood that Artemis was the bait real quick after seeing that. She tossed a bottle of water behind her as he caught it and quickly inhaled it while she moved over to her desk. The desk was cleared of everything off it reaching down she slid her thong to her knees as she turned around and sat on the desk. The thong hovered around her knees as she sat on the edge "So what now?"

The door was most likely locked and magic was nullified were just some of the things Issei was running through his head as he was talking to himself. Would escape be the best course of action? Incest isn't illegal in Olympus or the Underworld and it was normal outside of a few factions. Would it be that bad as he's already neck-deep in work outside of this room? What are a few more problems going to be at this rate? He stood up and walked towards her "I don't have much of a choice do I?"

Aphrodite smiled hearing that as he finally understood. "No, you don't. This has been a long time coming anyway. Do you know how hard it was to get all of this to happen?" She asked as Issei walked over to her. Issei reached over and pulled the thong off the rest of the way as he shook his head. Now free she spread her legs out showing it all off "First I asked Rias if she wanted to do this. But she's like Asia and not confident when it comes to sexual things with others. Eventually, I moved to Akeno and that girl is a freak. She wanted to put you in a small chastity cage and fuck you in the ass while you ate my pussy. It was tempting as hell but Artemis came along and we mashed some plans." Leaning over she pulled him in closer as their bodies touched. Her hand grabbed his cock as she felt his girth while rubbing the tip at her entrance. "So what are you going to do?"

Issei had to accept his fate as there was no way out of this for him. But he thought about his game plan for a moment as he saw the thong in his hand. "Alright fine then." He said as she got excited to hear that "But this is on my terms." His hands came up as he pushed her over onto the desk. He wrapped his index finger with the thong as he looked down past her pristine vagina to her asshole. With one swoop he thrust his finger in her ass with no lube as she let out a small yelp while Issei got to work wadding the thong into a ball in pushing it into her ass leaving just enough to pull it out.

"Oh wow, my thong as a makeshift buttplug. I wasn't expecting that." Aphrodite said as she looked down at him past her breasts.

He climbed up on the desk as it supported both their weight as he gave no quarter when he plunged into her. The problem was it was different, it wasn't like any vagina ever as he was an empty void. He looked down at her putting his hands on her breasts "Explain?" He asked as he started to grope her.

"Just wait." That was all he heard as he felt the warmth that was soon followed up by her fleshy wrapping around him forming a perfect wrap. A light on each of their genitals as he tried to pull out. That was ultimately stopped as something prevented him from pulling out. Aphrodite wrapped her legs around him, shoving him back inside "A perfect size that you can't pull out of so you best get to showing me what that cock can do."

Perfect were the words that ran through his head as she was tighter than a virgin but it wasn't possible considering her name. "Okay then," Issei said he got to work as their skin made rapid contact with each other as their skin was clapping.

"Faster sweety," She said as she reached up and grabbed him and dragged the upper half down to her "You need to make my pussy yours. Dominate me, make me cum all over you." She knew what she was doing as it was working as she felt him getting larger and harder. He was doing what she asked as he was getting faster every second he could. "If those other girls were human…" She put on a sad face and looked at him "You would have bred them. But you need to breed me first." Her hands grabbed his face forcing him to make out with her. Issei was still in control of himself but near savage and they loved every moment they got.

Her hands laid on his back with her index finger she was drawing shapes and circles on his back trying to be sexy but as each shape was made they slightly lit up Thirteen greek symbols were on his back as he rotated her hand counterclockwise as if she was unlocking something. As the symbols lit up he fulfilled his role adamantly as he was pouring cum inside of her as she also had an orgasm as a combination of their cum dripping out. Issei however passed out as he rolled off her and the desk slammed into the ground.

When she got off the desk she looked down at her crotch as she stuck two fingers inside of her getting a feel for how much cum was inside and noticed it was more than a human could produce but not out of the realms of a dragon. Reaching down she picked him and move him over to the couch when she put him down she saw that he had a small boner still going on that had yet to dad away. But she grabbed ahold of his left and held it with both of hers "I trust you will let him figure it out?"

A green light appeared on his hand as it spoke softly [Will it hamper him?]

"No" She shook her head. "He is the only child willing to go that far. So he will have it all even if he is not exactly my flesh anymore."

[So be it.] The light faded away.

"Why not?" SHe said out loud as she moved her head down to his dick and wrapped her lips around it. Her tongue swirled around his shaft as she cleaned it off. Even then there was a little bit of cum still left in the pipes as it shot out causing him to shrivel up. "You little shit even at the end." She said as she pulled away, swallowing the last of it. The real problem was Issei and Artemis were asleep on her couch. A little bit of magic, a few blankets, and rearrangement was all it took as the two of them were on the floor. Artemis was holding onto Issei as he was the little spoon as they slept for the night.

That night was not something Issei was going to talk about with anyone. And that's how it stayed as every day they were in the training dimension preparing for whatever was to come next. Issei was standing in the vast field of grass with Katase and Murayama in front of him "While you know how to swing a sword and sling basic magic you need to know how to fight. Knowing how to fight hand to hand needs to be in your bag of tricks."

"Why? We fight with swords?" Murayama asked him.

"You are pawns, the most versatile piece in the chess game. Your primary art of swordsmanship is fine but if you are ever disarmed you need to know how and fight with your hands."

"What about Kiryuu?"

Issei shrugged his shoulders "Artemis likes her, and if she wants to teach her how to use that bow then I am not going to complain that one of the most famous gods to use a bow is teaching her. She can also learn hand to hand from her as well but will need to go to Rias Akeno or Rossweisse to learn magic just like you two." Issei brought up his fights "Now… show me what you got."

It turned into a small fight as they swung their fist around proving his point. Fortunately, they had built up some stamina so they could perform for longer. During all of that Issei would hit them when they left themselves open for an attack. It wasn't a hard hit but it was more than enough that they got the idea as they also built up some durability. It took some time to wear them out of all of their stamina but it was effective nonetheless. Issei was looking down at them as they were laying down on the grass staring at the sky. "So what did we learn today?"

"You're too fast." "Hard to catch." They said to him as they were trying to recover.

"Do you think that's air you're breathing?" He asked them

"Shut up, this isn't the matrix."

Issei chuckled at that one "I wanted to use that line so it was worth a try. Anyways, you understand what I'm trying to teach you? I'm a brawler with high amounts of stamina, durability and power but low magic. You two are that sweet spot where you can leverage any of the pieces equally. So we need to nurture that to make it useful." He lifted the two girls up to their feet "I want to show you something everyone is done. But now would be a good time to get some flight time in so you're used to it."

The two of them disappeared into the skies as Issei moved over the meeting spot. After a couple of minutes, Rias made her way to Issei. "So how did it go?"

"They are learning." Issei told her "They're not trying to beat me to death and listening to me so that's a huge plus." He gave her a thumbs up.

He heard a small chuckle from Rias "I think Akeno might have had something to do with that."

"Who knows?" He shrugged his shoulders. "I'm still wondering how that night happened. Anyways we are still on for that other thing tonight?" "yes" Hearing that he looked over at her "Show and tell then?"

It took a little longer for everyone to gather. When they did, Rias started to talk "Tonight is a special night for us devils. We are going to be traveling to the familiar forest tonight. Familiars are creatures who fulfill tasks for us." She held her hand out as some smoke appeared as they saw a little round bat flapping its wings as it landed in her hands. Others followed up as Koneko and Kuroko were holding matching white and black cats. Kiba had a small red and Blackbird. In Akeno's hands, there was a group of small little green demons with a spiral horn on their head.

They looked around seeing the one-two punch as Asia had a small blue dragon rubbing up on her. "It's so cute," Kiryuu said looking at the dragon.

"What about yours?" Katase asked Issei.

"I have three of them." Issei said as he held his hand out as the small ship hovered in his hand. "You have already seen this one Ryuuteimaru." Issei pushed it with his finger in the stern of the ship as it floated over to Rossweisse.

Hovering in her hand she started to explain. "Ryuuteimaru as Issei calls it is a creation of the Dwarves. They are just as you see them in movies or literature short in stature high on alcohol and master craftsmen. This magical ship comes from the Ivaldi tribe of dwarves that created Mjolnir and other magical artifacts of the Norse. The Skidbladnir or Ryuuteimaru as he named it are so rare that we can count it on one hand, maybe two."

Behind Issei, they watched as a white horse walked up behind him and placed its head on top of Issei's head. He reached up and rubbed it with his hands "This is my other familiar Rel."

"You have a horse?" Katase asked, "You would think you would have something different, not a white horse."

Hearing that Issei smiled as he tapped the back of Rel's ears. Out of her side, two white wings shot out to show that she was no normal horse. "Rel is a Pegasus and her hair is sooo soft." Issei got out from under her head "Why is your hair softer than normal?" He asked the pegasus.

Issei was talking to an animal they saw "Is he seriously expecting an answer from it?" Kiryuu asked, looking confused.

"When you make a pact with a familiar, if they don't speak you can understand them. That's part of the perks with a familiar pact." Kiba told them.

"The brunet with the huge boobies?" Issei said as they watched him talk to it.

"I give up." Murayama shook her head "He's being a pervert to a pegasus."

Issei turned around "Rel here is weird, she doesn't like male riders but has no problem letting the ladies ride her. Watch this." Issei walked over to Gasper and grabbed him, taking him back over to Rel. He put Gasper on Rel's back as she turned her head around and tugged on Gasper's shirt just hard enough so she could pull him off her back. As they watched that unfold Issei grabbed Kiryuu and did the same thing. This time she stayed up with no problems.

"So it can fly, I'm assuming?" Katase asked as Issei looked at Rel and pointed up. Rel flapped her wings, sending her flying off into the distance as they heard screaming from Kiryuu.

"Are you torturing my student?" They heard Artemis as she was sitting on top of a Pegasus. This one was much different than Issei's as he looked as if it was much older and stronger as it had seen much more work.

"Yeah." Issei snickered as they could still hear her screaming.

When she returned they saw Kiryuu's braided hair was fluffed up from the wind as she disembarked. "I will find a way to get you back." Kiryuu told him as she walked back over to the girls.

Everyone's familiars disappeared as large magic appeared as everyone stepped in it. With a quick jump of magic, they found themselves in a large forest clearing that had eight paths. "Let's see what we can find." Issei told them as they started walking down one of the paths.

"What about a unicorn?" Murayama asked as they made their way down the path.

"I'm not sure if a unicorn would be willing to see anyone after what happened." Akeno said as she remembered what happened to the poor thing. Issei shrugged his shoulders as he started to recount a story.

Summer Vacation was here and there was no school only just fun times with others. The problem was something was missing that being Rias and Asia. Another problem for Issei was he had two small children next to him one with red hair and the other blonde hair. "Carry me Isssseiii" The little red-haired girl called out as the blonde one started to cry as she held onto his leg.

Not knowing where any of this was going he picked the two of them up and held them as he heard a knock on the door. The door opened as Akeno popped her head into the room. "It's morning…." She saw the two kids being hyperactive crawling over him as if they were staring for attention. "Children?"

"I don't knooooow" He told her as the redhead pulled on his cheek, stretching it out.

"Stay here." Akeno said to him "I have an idea but I'm going to gather the others."

It took a little bit to gather everyone as they were down in the living room. The redhead was sitting on Issei's lap as the blonde was sitting next to him. All the club members were looking at them "They look too much like Rias and Asia." Xenovia said as the children looked back and forth at each other.

"No, I think that's who they are." Kiba said to Issei.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah" Kiba nodded, doubling down on his idea.

"Okay so how would this happen then? They know my name or part of it at least."

"I think there's a spell that can make you younger." Koneko said as she was sitting on the couch watching them.

"But isn't that just an outer appearance change?"

"Not exactly," Akeno said as she poured cups of tea out for everyone. "Once devils reach a certain age they can choose to take on any appearance. Women generally take a younger to middle age look while men usually don't alter their age. There are however some exceptions in both camps."

Aphrodite came into the room as she saw the two kids and picked up who she thought was Asia. "She is just so cute!" She held onto Asia as she sat down almost drooling over her.

"This has to be a spell rebound." Their attention was drawn to Azazel "My guess is they were using a spell they didn't understand completely and messed up. When the spell failed it came back to them and now you see."

Aphrodite gasped hearing that "Oh that makes sense Rias probably wanted to use it on you."

"While they are adorable it might be best if you and I raise them." Akeno said as she was happy to talk about it.

"You and I?" Issei thought about it.

"Yeah, we would be their mother and father, a husband and wife combo." Akeno said to him as his brain was working.

"How would that even work? Would I be the man coming home in a suit and tie while you were home with the kids?" Issei asked as he was lost in his fantasy world where just that was happening.

The little Rias tilted her head back and looked at Issei "Your face is weird." She saw that Issei was lost in a fantasy.

"I think you lost him Akeno." Koneko said as he was gone to them.

"He's lost in his fantasy." Kiba watched as Issei started to drool.

"Anyways I'll look into a way to dispel it. You guys need to do the same." Azazel got up and got ready to leave. "I need you to also look into it as well."

As Azazel left Akeno looked at everyone else "I'll start looking for traces of demonic power in his room."

"Koneko and I will look in other places then." Kiba told her.

"I'll deal with Gasper." Xenovia walked over to his box and hoisted him out of it.

Issei was left with his mother and two hyperactive girls. That energy soon turned into a walk outside. What's the worst that could happen with a walk down to the local convenience store. It was hard for him to say no to the girls but a little bit of ice cream could solve all his problems at this point. While Rias was a child she retained her noble attitude but Asia was the one who drastically changed as she acted like a spoiled child.

"Yo Issei!" He turned around as he saw Matsuda and Motohama. They saw the kids with him "Why do you have kids?" "No, they look like Rias and Asia."

"I don't have children, you idiots."

Matsuda and Motohama looked at each other as they pulled out their phones and started to take pictures of the three of them. They quickly ran away shouting weird things that Issei had no clue what it was about.

They made their way back to the house as the girls were eating their ice cream. "I found a cure. We just need to gather the ingredients to dispel the magic." Issei heard Azazel as he looked around and he saw him with a backpack on like he was ready to make a camping trip.

"And where would that be?"

"Never mind that." Azazel said as Akeno moved over to the two of them "Right now you and Akeno are coming with me to gather the required materials to make it the antidote.'

Issei stood up as he heard the two girls cry out that he was leaving them "noooo" "Don't leave us."

Azazel's magic circle flashed quickly transporting them away in a matter of moments. When they came out on the other side there was a large cave in front of them. Azazel pointed towards the cave as he walked into it. There was a massive roar that echoed in the cave as out of the darkness they saw a massive creature appear walking on two legs with the body of a man and a head of a bull. "A Minotaur." Issei said as the beast raised an equally large ax that was larger than any one of them.

"Yep need his liver and a few other things in this cave." Azazel looked back "Deal with him and I want him intact." The Minotaur swung his ax down at them as Issei and Akeno avoided the attack as Azazel went deeper into the cave.

Left with no other choice, Issei moved it to fight the beast as it pulled its ax out of the ground as a large clump of rock with still on it. The Minotaur swung his ax horizontally as Issei ran forward closing the gap and getting up close. He swung his right arm into the knee cap. The beast howled as its right knee was shattered and it toppled over. Sending another punch into its chest the shockwave echoed in the cave as the beast fell over permanently. "It's dead now."

"Good, Minotaur meat is tasty. But we do need its liver and horns" Azazel came back out of the darkness having gathered something further down in the cave. "Its meat is beyond the highest quality of human meat." He placed his hand on the minotaur as he teleported it away.

Soon they were next as they bounced around from place to place. From the deep lush rainforest to the desert of North America and plenty of places in between. The last place they appeared was at a large lake that was secluded deep within a dark forest. "Seriously?" Issei asked as he and Azazel watched as Akeno was dressed in an almost paper-thin white bathrobe as she was sitting on the bank of the lake.

"We need a unicorn horn and they only appear to pure maidens." Azazel said as they waited.

"You know that she…"

"Semantics" Azazel interrupted him as his voice got quieter. "It's weird that the mixed-raced fallen are so well off compared to the purebred." Issei looked at Azazel as he was watching Akeno more as his daughter than anything else. Across the lake, a white horse appeared from the treeline as it crossed the shallow part of the lake moving towards Akeno. "Unicorn horns have been treasured as ancient medicine. Even used to dispel magic so we're going to take it."

"Do you have a fancy for horse meat as well?"

"What no?" Azazel looked at him "We're just going to chop off its horn and put some salve on it so it regrows."

They heard a loud smack followed by water splashing as they saw the unicorn laying in the water. Akeno had hit the poor thing in the back of its neck knocking it out as its mouth hung open as its tongue dangled out. With Akeno's job done she quickly changed clothes as Azazel harvested the horn and prepared the horn for healing. And with that, they had all the ingredients needed.

They had everything they needed as they made it back to the mansion. Azazel was making a mess out of the kitchen as he brewed the potions needed to reverse the spell. Everybody was in Issei's room as he had the two girls with him while everyone was waiting to see if this would work. When he arrived he had two small bottles in his hand as he handed them to the girls so they could drink the lime green concoction.

"Ewwww" "Bitter" They complained as their eyes were watering up from the smell and taste.

Akeno activated a magic circle surrounding the two of them "When we cast the spell again it should return them to normal."

Azazel looked at Issei "Hypothetical what would you do if we could only turn one of them back Issei?"

"No doubt I could double to potency with the boosted gear." Issei said without hesitation.

Azazel laughed hearing that "The fact that you didn't bother thinking about it was most impressive. That power is well within the power of the boosted gear."

"Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" They heard Gasper screamed outside of the room.

"Just drink your garlic juice." Xenovia was yelling at him while chasing him around.

A flash of light happened. Everyone heard Gasper and Xenovia tumbling over as they ran into Issei's room. "Oh, we're back to normal." Rias said as she looked over herself making sure she was normal. "I'm normal" Asia said as she did the same.

"So how and why did this happen?" Azazel asked the two of them.

The two girls looked at each other as Rias began explaining. "Asia and I were looking through the photo album and Ise when he was little. And I knew of a spell that could turn a person back into their child form temporarily."

They heard a sigh from Azazel "So you tried it, failed and the spell struck the two of you."

"Sorry" they said in unison

Issei was more surprised that it was going to be used on him of all things. That did explain why they were so interested in the photo album that was in the house.

"Well, your back so that's all that matters." Issei told the two girls.

They looked at Issei. "We uh have our memories from earlier and it was nice that you treated us so well."

"The ice cream was nice." Asia said to him.

Issei was happy that they were alright with how the day went. But he felt a little dizzy as if the world was getting smaller. He closed his eyes and shook his head as he saw everyone towering above him.

"He's so small!" Rias squealed, seeing Issei.

"What?" Issei said as his voice didn't sound the same as he walked over to the mirror in the room. In the reflection was a smaller version of him from his days as a kid.

"HE'S SO CUTE!" Rias ran over to the mirror and picked him up holding him between her breasts as if he was a doll.

"He is." Asia said as Akeno agreed with her.

"Anyways I have work to deal with." Azazel walked out of the room "The girls are happy so this will be fine." Issei was soon passed around by the girls as a keepsake for them.

It was only one of the plenty of stories that Issei told them while they wandered the forest.
