LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 148: Side
"Can someone tell me why Ophis of this world suddenly requested an offspring from me?" Issei asked while sighing tiredly.
"She becomes jealous of mom when she saw us, dad." Momoyo said with a grin.
"You, are strong. A strong mate will produce strong offspring..." Ophis explained.
"Yeah, no... I won't be making a child with just any woman I see." Issei denied.
"...My body isn't up to your satisfaction?" Ophis tilted her head before she looks at Issei's wives.
She finally come to conclusion and starts making her breasts grow even more. Since she's already in her adult form, there's really not much she needs to do other than making her body more curvaceous.
"How about now?" Ophis asked.
"...Why do you think that- Nevermind." Issei said in dismissal.
"She's not entirely wrong though, dear... You do love big breasts right?" Fia chuckled.
"Fia... You're not helping here."
"Ooooohhh!!!" Hyoudou Issei let out an amazed sound at Ophis's breast.
*BAM!*
"Geh!" Hyoudou Issei let out a groaning sound: "Wh-Why..." He bemoaned before passing out.
"I-Ise!" The young Rias group scrambled towards him checking if he's okay.
"Ah... Sorry, it was a reflex." Issei said in realization after slugging his other counterpart.
"Do forgive him. This Ophis really looks very much like our sister Ophis hence why he reacts to that Hyoudou Issei for ogling at her." Fia said with a chuckle: "He's a jealous husband you see."
"I don't mind being your mate... Make me your mate just like the other Ophis." Ophis said while staring at Issei intently.
"..." Issei is rendered speechless... Not by her words but because of similar she is with his Ophis.
"Why don't you just take her, dad? Having another mom would be funny. Especially when they're this similar." Momoyo grinned while standing beside Issei. She could imagine just how funny it will be... Three mom staring blankly at each other while pointing at each other saying 'I'm you, you're me.'
"Stop causing trouble, young lady." Issei lightly flicks her forehead. Momoyo pouted while holding her reddening forehead.
Nyarlathotep floated towards the unconscious Hyoudou Issei and narrowed her eyes. Soon she averted her gaze losing interest.
She went back towards Issei and clung to him like usual.
"What's wrong?" Issei asked her.
"It's nothing."
"Is it about his 'potential'?"
"Fufufu, you know me so well, dear husband~" Nyarlathotep giggled: "But yes... his potential is so-so. He could reach <Tier 5> and perhaps <Tier 6> with some miraculous encounter but that's about it."
"I see..." Issei nodded calmly.
"His <Fate> could indeed be considered one of a kind but..." Nyarlathotep's eyes glistened slightly and flashed an evil smirk: "...The odds of him dying prematurely in the future are also very very, high."
Thankfully the young Rias's group couldn't hear her words or they would've freaked out.
"Hmm, so high risk high reward principle then? The closer he is to death, the bigger the chance of him getting stronger?" Fia asked curiously.
"Indeed... Although, I wouldn't count on it. Perhaps if he's just like a certain someone who basically married to 'Death' then he won't be able to change his <Fate>." Nyarlathotep laughed mischievously.
While she spoke, there's a golden thread rotating around her fingertip. This is another ability of Nyarlathotep, <Weaver of Fate>. And this is also how she determines whether someone could have the "potential".
She has also given Issei this capability. The item is actually just a bundle of the golden thread... But it entered Issei's body in the past.
This item is kept by her inside her room. This item is also the thing that he sneakily stored away after her first sexual intercourse with Issei.
Just because someone is strong, doesn't mean that their <Fate> is up to her satisfaction. Hence why it's so rare for her to find someone to give her <Mark> to. Billions of lives might look a lot but considering just how big the multiverse is, it's actually very few.
But even she couldn't fully control the <Fate> of others... Don't be mistaken, even if that someone <Fate> is special, such as becoming a God, that doesn't mean they're invincible.
If they're killed then their <Fate> is automatically changed or perhaps it would change suddenly out of nowhere... Hence why most people considered that <Fate> is quite fickle. In a blink of an eye, a man destined to be a King could become a beggar in the next day or even worse... Dead.
Only those who are powerful enough could control their own <Fate>.
Nyarlathotep and Issei could help someone change their <Fate> if they wanted to.
"Hmm..." Issei mused to himself while looking at the unconscious Hyoudou Issei. But he soon shook his head.
Whatever his <Fate> is, it's none of his business.
"Let's go back." He said while standing up from his chair.
When he stood up, the maid group immediately tidy up the place.
Salter and Altria called back the <Knights>.
When they finally take a closer look at Issei, the women group inadvertently blushed at his figure alone.
He's wearing a custom black business suit and overcoat that accentuated his perfect body which made him very awe-inspiring in their eyes. He's also taller than Hyoudou Issei which is not a surprise.
"Dad, dad! Can we play a bit?" Momoyo asked hopefully.
"Play? Play how?"
"Let us beat some bad guys!"
"Un un." Amou also nodded along with her twin sister.
"You two..." Issei smiles wryly at his two little princesses who are basically a battle maniac.
"Why not, Master? Just let them beat up some punching bag just like those weaklings." Salter said while pointing at Cao Cao's group.
"W-We are not weakling..." Cao Cao countered but his voice is very small.
"What was that? Want to try fighting me?" Salter glared at him with her aura flaring up.
"...no..."
"That's what I thought." Salter snorted.
Sirzechs and the others sweated at this sight. Lady... Even we would feel afraid if we were to against you.
And that's not taking that husband of yours into consideration... If even ogling at Ophis earned a knuckle sandwich from him then what would happen if we were to somehow hurt you? They imagined that their planet would explode if that were to happens. Just thinking about it gives them chills...
"*Sigh* This is why I'm so hesitant letting the two of you going anywhere..." Issei said with a sigh.
"Oh come on, dad... It's not like we would cause trouble... For the good guy that is." Momoyo grinned.
"Fia?" Issei asked.
"Hm, you don't really have any schedule for the upcoming month dear. Sona and Rose have taken care most of it." Fia said after doing a little inspection on his schedule.
"Ah, looks like I owe them quite a bit." Issei said with a smile under his mask.
"That you did, dear... Be sure to properly compensate them later on." Fia said with a smile of her own.
Sirzechs felt a little uncomfortable seeing his wife's counterpart acting so lovey-dovey with another man.
"...Fine, we can stay for a bit." Issei finally decided: "But we better contact Forze and the others first or they would be angry, especially since Forze is already angry at you, Koze."
"Yes! You're the best, dad!" Momoyo hugged Issei tightly.
"Uuu... Papa, can you please help me? Please help me appease mama... Koze promises that she will be good from now on..." Kozelotte tugged at Issei's shirt and begged with teary eyes.
"U-Ugh..." Issei felt like his heart has been shot with multiple arrows but sadly for her... There's really nothing that he can do: "Sorry, Koze... But there's nothing papa could do this time..." He said regretfully.
"A-Ahh... I'm really doomed this time..." Kozelotte slumped to the ground while crying rivers.
"Fufufu, don't be so sad, dear. Your mother will surely forgive you if you were to honestly apologize for your mistake." Shen Xi laughed gently: "At most, you will only need to write a hundred page of apology letter... and maybe a few spanks?"
"Uwaaaaa!" Despite Shen Xi's consoling words, Kozelotte cried even further.
"Mother... You're not helping..." Shirayuki said with a sweat.
"Now Master. Let's have a date, shall we?" Salter said while wrapping her arms around Issei's.
Altria also went for his other arm: "Um, it's been a while since our last date." She nodded in agreement with Salter.
"O-Ou." And just like that, Issei is dragged by two of his wives: "...So this is why you agreed with their demand right away..." Issei muttered.
"What? You don't like having a date with us? I'm sorry I'm not your beloved Jalter I guess." Salter scoffed.
"Of course not. How could I hate having a date with my beautiful wives." Issei said with a smirk.
The two Pendragons blushed at her words: "Hmph, sweet talker..." Salter mumbled. But she couldn't hide her smile.
Nyarlathotep, Grayfia, Shen Xi, and Kunou giggled at this sight.
"Wait, dad! Let us have a date with you too!" Momoyo shouted before running after them.
The other girls also followed suit.
"...So what now?" Azazel asked no one in particular seeing that they have been forgotten.
"I don't know... Perhaps this is a good thing." Sirzechs replied.
"Um... They do say that they will beat up the bad guys so I think it's a good thing." Michael said optimistically.
...
"Wh-What?! It has been 7 years?!!" Erza Scarlet and her friends shouted in disbelief once they've returned to their guild.
"Huh, so it has been 7 years? I guess father forgot to refresh the timeline then..." While they're in disbelief, Erza Hyoudou also feels a little confused: "But wait... that's not possible, father's magic shouldn't expire that fast. Unless... Hey, spirit, is that magic dome covering the island when I first arrived is related with time magic?"
"E-Eh? Yes, it is. Time is frozen inside the <Fairy Sphere>." The spirit from before whose identity is apparently the first guild master of their guild said. Her name is Mavis Vermillion.
"Ah, no wonder..." Erza Hyoudou said with a sigh.
"What's wrong, nee-san?" Erza Scarlet asked despite feeling a little upset.
"Stop calling me nee-san when you're older than me. And to answer your question, father used you as an 'anchor' of his time magic in this world so that the time here and the time in our world stays the same." Erza Hyoudou paused before continues speaking: "But it seems that because of the interference of this <Fairy Sphere>, it cancels out the time magic that father use..."
Not really that weird considering the magic that Issei used is basic time magic. It can easily be influenced by other time magic as long as it's strong enough.
After all, he only needs to make their time flow stay the same not faster or slower. So there's no special magic at work here other than that.
One of Issei's promises is that he will visit Erza Scarlet and her mother on her 20th birthday.
Erza Hyoudou decided to pay them a visit early on since she's feeling a little bored as of lately. She thought that it won't make any difference but who would've thought that 7 years have passed in this world without their knowledge.
When Erza Hyoudou arrived in this world, she teleported herself to Erza Scarlet's place. Only to found out that she's 'frozen' inside a dome which is the <Fairy Sphere>.
Just when she's wondering what happened to her, that black Dragon suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started attacking her. It also says that it is a Dragon King Acnologia during its self-introduction.
Erza who heard that got annoyed and decided to beat the crap out of the black Dragon. And when she's finally finished beating him up, the <Fairy Sphere> is accidentally broken by one of her attacks and that's when she met with Erza Scarlet.
Acnologia himself never thought that the Dragon presence that he sensed would be someone so abnormal. If Erza Hyoudou used normal magic then he doesn't need to feel afraid... but she mostly uses her physical strength to manhandle him!
No, maybe she also uses some sort of magic but that magic is nothing like he sees before. And he's supposed to be immune to magic but her magic could easily injure him as if his magic immunity was never there in the first place...
Whereas when he used his magic against her... She literally ate his magic as if some sort of snacks! And if she doesn't eat it, she will only deflect it back! This is the first time in history that a Dragon Slayer magic is rendered useless against an actual Dragon... Just how ironic is it for the magic itself to be devoured by the same thing that it's supposed to work best against?
And what's more terrifying is that she isn't even using her full Dragon form! She only uses a partial transformation to transform her arms and legs but it's already enough to beat the living hell out of him!
He could instantly tell that Erza Hyoudou is a full-fledged Dragon given just how strong her Dragon aura is. After all, Acnologia himself is not a full-fledged Dragon but rather a human who turns into a Dragon. This is also why he immediately went to her place the moment he sensed her presence in this world.
What he doesn't know is that Erza Hyoudou can only be considered a juvenile Dragon at best and not an adult Dragon... And that's not considering her Dragon bloodline which is even more abnormal.
A direct descendant of an actual True Dragon Godking and True Dragon Godqueen... If he were to know that then just what expression he will make?
Somewhere in the world, a mature woman with a braided red hair smirked to herself when she sensed Erza Hyoudou's presence and Acnologia's aura being in the same place: "It looks like that idiot Dragon king wannabe messed with the wrong Dragon this time..."
She doesn't need to be there to know that Acnologia must've lost. After all, that other Dragon is the daughter of that man... When she remembered about him, the woman has a resolute look on her face: "I've kept my promise... Now it's your turn to keep yours, my love..." She muttered to herself.
It's been 19 years after their separation...
26 years ago, just when she's about to go insane, he miraculously appeared in front of her and guided her to control her Dragon form and strength.
He helped her give birth to her daughter and also took care of them for a few years...
Those days were bliss for them... Sadly, every good thing must come to an end...
Issei went back to his world for 5 years and just when she thought that he has left them behind, he returned with Erza Hyoudou in his arms. She's astonished seeing her daughter's twin on his arm but after some explanation from him, she finally understands.
Issei informed them both that he might never return... She and her daughter begged him to take them with him... Even when he told them he already has multiple wives, she still doesn't care and still wanted to come with him.
After some begging from them both, Issei finally relented... He said that he will return on Erza Scarlet's 20th birthday and see if they still want to come with him. One of his wives who tagged along with him at that time told her to become the Queen of this world, and only then will she be allowed to become his wife.
She agreed to that condition.
Issei then accompanied both mother and daughter for another 2 years and become a father figure for the latter. While Issei himself never sleep with her, it doesn't stop her from seducing him during those two years. Sadly for her, she never succeeded...
But she manages to steal a kiss from him and that is enough for her at that time.
When Issei finally decided to return to his world, he makes the time flows the same as the <Netherworld>. Using Erza Scarlet as an 'anchor'.
Now after all these years... She truly becomes this world's Queen.
There are not many people who know the identity of Erza Belserion Scarlet... She purposefully kept Erza's identity a secret to keep her safe and also to let her grow properly and Erza herself also understands that. She visited her from time to time to see how is she doing but it seems that she becomes a little bit lazy ever since Issei's departure.
Now, look at what happened... She got her ass handed by that black lizard king wannabe! How embarrassing it would be if others who knew of her 'gift' were to find out that she just lost against a damn lizard...
She was there during the attack of the black dragon but she decided not to help her daughter so that she could learn from her mistake. Just when she's about to lend a hand, Mavis Vermillion activated the <Fairy Sphere>.
She finally decided not to do anything and use this opportunity to properly arrange her control over the world.
Even though she's the true Queen, she's too lazy to control each and every country so she chooses someone to be a King or Queen to control a specific kingdom or country.
"Rejoice, Zeref. Your wish should be granted soon." She looks at the man who's standing not far from her location.
"...Really?" A young man with short black hair and dark eyes asked hopefully.
"Ah... The person I've told you about should arrive here soon. And at that time, I'm pretty sure he could solve your 'curse'."
"I hope you're right... Or else." The young man threatened with his magic aura flaring up.
"Heh, you don't need to worry... After all, he's the one who gifted me with this strength." The woman seems unaffected by his magic and released her own magic to suppress the young man's magic: "And even if I'm mistaken, do you think you could defeat me? I may not be able to kill you but I can still easily suppress you." She glared at him as she increases her magic intensity.
"...I suppose you're right... Someone who could make you powerful enough to ignore my 'curse' shouldn't be someone normal." The young man reeled back his magic and responded calmly.
"But of course. He's the man that I choose to become my husband... Hahahaha!" The woman laughed jovially: "Now then... I need to prepare myself for our long-awaited reunion." After saying that, she turns around and walks towards her room...
Back with the two Erza...
"So what now..." They felt depressed knowing that their current guild is basically at the bottom in ranks.
"Why you all feel depressed? We just need to take the number one spot back!" The pink-haired man who's named Natsu said.
"I agree with this flame brain." A man named Gray said.
"But how..." One of them asked: "It will take years for us to regain our former glory..."
*Munch* *Munch*
"And not to mention, we are in dire need of money."
*Munch* *Munch*
"So what? We can just get more money by doing some quests!"
*Munch* *Munch*
"..." All of them look towards the laidback Erza Hyoudou.
"Hm? What?" She asked after realizing that they're looking at her: "Hey sister, come and eat this. This is made by father himself." She offered some food to Erza Scarlet.
"E-Eh?! R-Really? Father made that?!" Erza Scarlet hurriedly took the food she has been offered and blissfully eat the heavenly tasting food that she missed: "Hmmm, father's cooking is the best... It's been a while ever since I ate his food..." She moaned in bliss.
"I also bring some strawberry shortcake with me." Erza H. took out a whole cake from her magic space.
"YES! I LOVE YOU NEE-SAN!" Erza S. shrieked in joy.
"As I said, you're older than me." Erza H. sighed tiredly.
While the others are in a depressed mood, the two twins happily eat their food.
"H-Hey, who is she? How come she looks just like Erza?" One of the remaining guild members who didn't leave the guild yet asked.
"Oh, she's apparently Erza from another world... They're supposedly stepsisters if I remember correctly."
"Stepsisters?! They're basically twins!"
"Oi, Erza! Share some of those ribs with me will ya!" Natsu said while drooling. He's not the only one who's drooling though.
All of them are drooling when they caught a whiff of the food smell Erza H. brought with her.
"No! I won't share my father's food with just anyone!" Erza H. growled at Natsu.
"Wh-Whoa!" Natsu yelped at her hostility: "Why?! We're Erza's friends so we're not just anyone!" He tried to reason.
"Still no. You're her friends, not mine. And even if you're my friends I still won't give it to you." Erza H. harrumphed.
"Give it up, Natsu. Even I won't share these foods with you." Erza S. said seriously.
"Geh... So stingy." Natsu said in frustration.
"By the way nee-san, can you lend me some money?" Erza S. asked.
When she asked that, almost all of them had their ears perked up. Especially the small old man who goes by the name Makarov.
"Money? I do have some money with me but, I don't think this world can use our world currency. I have some magic items with me though... See if any of this would be of use." Erza H. took out a bunch of magic items from her inventory.
"Wh-What is that? That crystal cube has an unbelievable amount of magic power inside it!" Mavis said in shock while staring at one of the items on the table.
If she's not mistaken... If the magic inside that crystal cube were to go malfunction then... It could easily destroy the whole continent!
And there's also a bunch of magic items that have the same power scale as that crystal cube scattered around... She almost fainted just thinking what would happen if any of those items were to go to the wrong hands...
"Errr, I don't think it will be a good idea if we were to sell any of these..." Erza S. said with a sweat. Even she could tell that these magic items are not simple...
"Hm? Is that so?" Erza H. shrugged her shoulders before she took back the magic items.
"Don't you have some <Jewels> nee-san? I thought father has quite a bit of <Jewels> with him back then?" Erza S. inquired.
<Jewels> are this world currency. Issei had some of them during his stay here but he gave most of them to Erza Scarlet's mother.
"No, sadly I don't bring them with me. I was thinking to just sell some stuff such as the magic items from before when I arrived here."
"D-Don't!" Erza S. shouted.
Even Mavis and Makarov immediately prevented her to sell those cataclysmic magic items... There would be hell if she were to sell any of those magic items!
"Ugh... Then I guess I just go kill some monsters and sell their bodies." Erza H. groaned: "Are there any monsters that could fetch a high price around here?"
"Eh, I think there is but..."
"Then that's that. I'll go hunt some monsters after I finish eating... Then we will start our training, sister."
"U-Un, got it."
"Uhhh, it might be impertinent for us to ask this but... Please train us as well!" All of them shouted in unison.
...
"Hmm, how intriguing... This world is extremely similar to his original world..." Nyarlathotep chuckled while gazing towards the sky. She's not looking at the sky itself but rather the <Fate> around this world: "I wonder if all of this is just a coincidence... Or was it because of something else? As expected, it's never boring around you, dear husband... Now what kind of color will this world's destruction will produce, I wonder. It's been a while ever since I witnessed a world self-destruct without my interference."
"Put your body, your heart, and even that life of yours on the line. Ah, this is pointless, even foolish. But that's not that, that is love. A bittersweet sense of justice that has been kept off from a chaotic infinity. A bewitched paradise of atrocities and deprivation... Come, be smeared yourself in a lot of colors... This is love, a drowning love~" She hummed gleefully to herself while rubbing her stomach: "How stupendous... To think that I could bear a child of my own. This me who is the embodiment of <Chaos> itself... You better take responsibility, dear husband, for you who have taught me this feeling will never slip away from my hands... Ufufufufu~"
"U-Umm, may we know what you mean by that, Lady Nyarlathotep?" Sirzechs asked nervously. They accidentally saw Nyarlathotep flew towards the tower hence why they decided to follow her just to see if she needed anything.
For some reason, he and the others are feeling slightly uncomfortable interacting with her... It's as if they could be erased at any moment just standing in her presence...
Maybe it's because of her divinity? If they're not mistaken then Nyarlathotep is the name of the God of Chaos?
Nyarlathotep is standing at the top of the Kyoto tower while waiting for her date.
"Hmm~?" Nyarlathotep finally set her eyes upon Sirzechs's group. They shuddered slightly the moment that her golden-colored eyes gaze land upon them...
"It's nothing much... I'm just saying that this world is extremely similar to my husband's original world," Nyarlathotep said.
"O-Oh." They nodded half understandingly at her words: "How similar if we're allowed to know?"
"Hmm... about 98%? Yes, 98%." She nodded before continuing: "And according to that similarity... Then this world would meet its end in the near future."
"..."
"Ufufufu, no need to be so surprised. My husband's original world should've met its end as well if it wasn't for his interference. Let's see... Ah yes, there should be a beast named <Trihexa> as well in this world, right?"
"Y-Yes, it's currently sealed though... Wait... Are you saying that..." Azazel said in realization.
"Mm, it will be the cause of this world's destruction." She simply said: "At least that's what I get from reading this world's <Fate>... Well, maybe not entirely..." Her tone turned a little bit unsure at the end.
"Please do tell if there's any solution for this, milady." Michael said hopefully sensing the change of tone under Nyarlathotep's voice.
"Hmm... Very well, I shall give you some tips since I'm in a good mood today." She said after thinking for a little bit: "The <Seal> around Trihexa would be broken whether you like it or not and when that happens... It will be up to you on how to deal with it. You will be able to save your world if you play your cards correctly but if not..." She gives a chuckle at the end.
They reflexively gulped since they perfectly understand just what she wanted to say. It will be the end of their world if they were to make a mistake...
"Of course, there's an easier solution." Nyarlathotep flashed a sly grin.
"A-And what is that, milady?"
"Just ask for my husband's help. He can easily save your world with just a snap of his finger." She snapped her own finger to demonstrate just how easy it is: "Well, that's that. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date to attend to." Nyarlathotep said before she disappeared on the spot.
"...Sirzechs, Michael," Azazel said direly.
As if they have the same thoughts inside their mind, they nodded at each other.
...
"Hmm, good. This outfit still fits me even in this form." Salter said while looking at herself in the mirror. She's wearing her Shinjuku outfit.
A black tank top coupled with a black jacket and a short black hot pants.
"Why are you wearing that kind of revealing outfit, Salter-nee..." Kunou said with a sweat.
"Muh, isn't it obvious? I wanted to seduce Master and besides, this is one of my favorite outfits." Salter said proudly: "I'll surely gain more love from Master than that witch."
Meanwhile, that 'witch' she's talking about had her sense tingling: "Huh! This feeling... That idiot maid is up to no good!"
"Humm, I wonder if Master would like this outfit..." Altria who's at her side muttered.
"...I don't know where to start looking at your outfit, Altria-nee... Why a bunny suit?" Kunou asked feeling speechless.
"I'm hoping to serve Master with it of course. Salter is already acting as Master's maid so I was thinking to be his bunny girl." Altria said as a matter of fact: "I'm thinking to step down from my position as a King and make Bedivere as the next King. Both Violet or Beatrice isn't interested in inheriting the throne after all."
"No, I don't think that will be a good idea though, Bedivere-san is a great candidate but I doubt he will agree to become the next King... Don't forget that the girls are here as well. As their mothers, you should properly become a good example for them." Kunou berated.
"Exactly because we're their mothers that we need to set an example on how to properly seduce a man." Salter retorted.
"They're still too young!"
"It will be fine, Kunou kaa-san!" Momoyo grinned: "Hmm, so that's the kind of outfit father like huh... Umu umu."
Shirayuki, Amou, and Kozelotte took out a note and started noting down this piece of information.
"Hey!" Kunou shouted while gritting her teeth.
Shen Xi and Grayfia who's at the side only giggled at their antics. Soon Nyarlathotep also arrived but her outfit is even worse than the two Pendragons... She's practically naked with how skimpy she's dressed.
Kunou once again berated one of her sisters...
Issei is already prepared and currently waiting for his wives to arrive at the date spot and as expected... Since they're going on a date, he couldn't really wear his mask now, can he? But he is wearing sunglasses that is imbued with not only magic but also scientific technology.
It's supposed to suppress his charm... but it seems that it's not working as intended since he still attracts quite a bit of attention to himself...
He's only wearing a simple white buttoned t-shirt with two buttons unbuttoned and black jeans but that doesn't stop the onlookers looking at him in an entranced state, especially women.
They look like as if their soul has been stolen from them with how glazed over their eyes are. Their cheeks are burning and they felt like they're in a dream just from the sight of him alone.
Issei who saw this sighed to himself.
Looks like this item is also a fail, huh... He thought wryly to himself. Should he just wear his mask after all?
He took off his sunglasses and put it in between his opened shirt.
He didn't know what he just did just add oil to a fire since the way he looks now is even more charming than before. Even though the sunglasses is basically a fail, it still suppressed his charm to a certain extent.
The women blushed another shade further and they unconsciously stopped on their tracks just to look at him. Even some men who have some special 'interest' also blushed... Issei shuddered greatly when he sensed these men's gaze.
"H-Hey, who is he?"
"Is he a supermodel?"
"Supermodel? Where did you see a supermodel that come close to him!"
"Right, even the best supermodel that I know is nowhere near that... Perhaps he's a new celebrity or some sort?"
"Is his white hair a natural color? It doesn't seem to be a fake though..."
"He's so handsome... I wonder if he already has a girlfriend?"
"From the looks of it, he seems to be waiting for someone... H-Hey, why don't you try talking to him?"
The group of women started speculating between themselves and some tried to hit on him. Quite a few of them tried to take his picture only for their phone battery suddenly dropped to zero much to their confusion and dismay. Even those who have a camera also had the same thing happened to them...
The boyfriends of those girls can only pull their hair in frustration...
"O-O-O-Oi! He looks nothing like me! He's an ike- no, an ultra Ikemen(Good looking guy)! Even Kiba isn't as good looking as him! He's basically an enemy to every men out there!" Hyoudou Issei and his friends are not far away while looking stupefied at the sight of his other counterpart.
"...Guys?" Hyoudou Issei brows furrowed seeing that there's no answer from his friends. When he looked towards them, he realizes that they share the same fate as those normal human women...
They're completely charmed by the sight of the other Issei.
"H-Hey, guys!" He shouted and started shaking Rias and the others.
"A-Ah? I-Ise?" The young Rias is startled awake along with Akeno and the others.
"Hehehe." The mature Rias's group who happen to be present giggled at this sight: "Don't feel confused... Our world Issei is just like that. His charm is not something that can be resisted so easily."
"I-I see..." They blushed in embarrassment after hearing her words.
"Umm... May we know why you're not married to that Issei?" The young Rias couldn't help but asked her other counterpart.
"..." The mature Rias's group went silent for a bit before she continues speaking: "...We made a mistake... A stupid mistake that we regretted doing until this very day..." The regret in her voice is unmistakable. The mature Akeno and the others also have a face filled with guilt and shame.
"Wh-Why? What did you do?" The young Rias pressed on.
"...We betrayed him... We betrayed his trust and love... And for that... We're atoning for our sins till this very day and perhaps, we will never regain what has been lost... If killing ourselves will make our sins go away then we're willing to do so but sadly, it's not." The mature Rias dropped a single tear from the corner of her eyes: "So, here is an advice from a group of fools to all of you... Whatever happens, never betray each other and cherish what you have now before it's too late. Don't make the same mistake as we did."
"O-Oh." The young Rias's group nodded dumbly at her words.
"Now, please excuse us." The mature Rias's group bowed towards them and take one last look at Issei before they teleported themselves away.
"...Buchou, whatever happens. I will never betray you nor will I leave any of you behind." Hyoudou Issei said seriously.
"Ise..." The young Rias smiled at him: "Um, I, no... We will also never betray you." She and her peerage members also smile at each other.
Issei who's at the distance smiles thinly at their interaction.
"Setting aside what the other Rias said... Now I understand why the other me fell for that Issei." Sona adjusted her glasses while slightly blushing.
"K-Kaichou! Y-You can't!" Genshirou Saji also went erratic thinking that his King has been smitten by the other Issei.
"Nyaa~, that other Issei looks so tasty nya~" Kuroka of this world mewled seductively while eyeing at the other Issei with her yellow eyes glowing dangerously.
"Le Fay? What's wrong?" Arthur called out at the dazed Le Fay.
"...I-I think I'm in love." Le Fay responded in a daze.
"What?! No! I won't let you! And he's already married!" Arthur shouted.
"Shut up, nii-sama! Stop embarrassing me!" Le Fay groaned.
"G-Gabriel-sama! Y-Your wings!" Irina pointed out at Gabriel's wings that appear to be shifting between black and white.
"Ah? Awawawa~"
"..." Meanwhile, Vali of this world is also entranced at Issei's sight. She couldn't help but compare the two Issei with each other...
Different... They're way too different! Why can't her rival is that Issei instead of this pervert... She lamented to herself. But... Maybe it's not too late?
Rossweisse started fidgetting on her spot feeling even more envious of her other counterpart.
Just when a group of women about to call out to him, there's another commotion in the distance but this time it's mostly affected the men.
Altria and the others have finally arrived on the scene... From the amount of gasping sound of the male onlookers then it's quite obvious.
"Sorry for making you wait, Master." Altria and Salter said with a smile when they arrived in front of Issei.
"Um, it's fine. Now, where are my two lovely wives want to go?" Issei smiled lovingly and offered his hands to which they happily clung to.
The two women look at each other before they said at the same time: "Surprise us!"
Under the gaze of envious men and women alike, the three of them started their date... They're having dates in turn. The first turn goes to Altria and Salter.
The second turn goes to Kunou and Grayfia while the last goes to Nyarlathotep and Shen Xi.
They're thinking of doing a double date for today then tomorrow it will be a single date...
...
"Got you! Now come with us!" A woman grinned sadistically while stepping onto the beaten up old man.
"U-Ugh... Damn it!" The old man groaned while his body is hurting all over.
"Heh, do you really think you can escape from the hands of the <Jaeger>?" The woman mocked.
"Stop resisting. Your fate has been decided the moment Master has spoken." Another woman said.
"Can we torture him a little bit more? Just in case he pulls another stunt of his."
"...Agreed."
"I don't mind either way."
The other women also stated that they don't mind.
"Hehehe... We're going to have some fun, old man. You like 'fun' things right? We will have a lot of fun together~" The first woman grin widened even further when she saw that there's no objection coming her way.
"N-Noooooo!!!" The old man scream resounded clearly in the void...
...
Back in the <Netherworld>.
"What did you say?!"
"U-Uhh, Jalter, stay calm."
"How could I stay calm when that stupid maid is alone with Master!"
"Muh? Issei is on a date with Salter?"
"It seems so... How about we go to him as well?"
"Arara~? Salter-chan is being sly. I want to have a date with otouto-kun as well~"
"A date, huh... It's been a while ever since our last date so why not."
"Drake! Take us there!"
"Ou! You got it!"
"Mommy, mommy! Let me come with you!"
"Muh? Chaika, huh. Sure, why not. Let's pay your daddy a visit."
"Un un! Chaika miss daddy!"
"Hold it. Let me come with you. That stupid husband probably thinking to delay their return thinking that my anger will dissipate. Kozelotte and Arte should be a good role model for their little sisters and it's about time I properly discipline them both... If it wasn't for that stupid husband spoiling them then all this won't happen."
"F-Forzelotte-nee... Heheh, looks like Koze-chan and Ise-nii is in big trouble..."
...
"Guwahhh!"
*BAM!*
"Gaahhhh!"
"Hahahaha! All of you are so weak!"
"Hiii!"
"Tsk, stop shrieking like a little girl!"
*BOOM!*
"Y-You demon!"
"You summoned those children just to fight your war and you called me a 'demon' here? Don't you feel ashamed of yourself? But you're not wrong though, I am indeed a Demon. I will handle that God of yours soon so don't you worry."
-A few minutes ago-
"Welcome to Tortus, Hero-sama, and his companion. We were expecting you. I am the currently appointed Pope of the Saint's Church, you may address me as Ishtar Lombard. Let's get along from now on, no need to exchange conventional greetings."
After he introduced himself, the old man called Ishtar revealed a smile that was often associated with nice elderly people.
A few seconds after he introduced himself, there's another summoning circle taking shape and out of it appeared a beautiful young woman with long purple hair with a pair of horns on top of her head and then the woman immediately attacked the old man along with the knights guarding him...
And then we're back to the beginning...
"Hey, are any of you hurt?" The girl asked after seeing that there's no one else standing in her way.
"Wh-Who are you?" One of the summoned highschoolers asked nervously. Just like his friends, he's also captivated by this girl's beauty but the fact that this girl is clearly not a human, he felt nervous.
"Hm? Me? I'm Arte Savant Hyoudou and I'm here to save you." She smiled at them.
(AN: Don't think too far about the last part, it's just me messing around a little bit and there will be no continuation 😋 I'm sure some of you will know which world Arte is at).
