The Wish of the Dragon

Chapter 142:

Before Issei outburst back in the <Netherworld>...

"Was it a success?" Semiramis inquired.

"It seems like it's a success but... we're not completely sure yet, Semiramis-sama." Mertel replied.

"Don't worry. They have the signal device with them... No matter what happens, whether it's a fail or success, they will let us know soon enough." Scathach said.

"Now we just have to wait then..." Forzelotte said with a sigh.

But even after waiting for a few hours, they still didn't receive any sign...

"Weird... Why didn't they activate the device yet? Even if it's a failure then they should've let us know..." Irene said with a frown: "Unless something happened to them?"

"Was the device the one that goes malfunction after all?" Scathach muttered to herself.

"Ehhh?! No no, that's impossible! I've tested the device a hundred times already!" A girl with long pink hair replied to her mutter.

She's a highly attractive teenage girl with long bubble gum pink hair, emerald green eyes, curvaceous body, and often referred to as a perfect girl by many.

Her most distinguishing feature is her tail which extends down from the base of her back. Her tail is long, thin, and ends with a heart-shaped tip. Another feature is that she is almost always seen wearing a hair clip with thick black swirls circling once then pointing downward.

This hair clip is her robot companion who she named Peke who actually forms the clothes she is currently wearing.

The pink-haired girl name is Lala Satalin Deviluke, the alien girl Issei met during one of his world travel. That world is also the world where Issei met Teraju, Aki, and Ryouko.

She sees herself as Issei's fiancee.

Semiramis and the others didn't really object to this since they're quite fond of Lala herself.

She is incredibly enthusiastic about the smallest things and has a very bubbly and slightly childish nature, which is most likely the result of being raised as the first princess of Deviluke.

Although she can also be a bit of an air-head and a scatterbrain most of the time, she is known for her genius-level intellect as seen in her amazing array of inventions; her planet even wanted to use her for weapons research and engineering. She is very caring and generous and appears to have a need to make everyone she cares about happy, even those of which she doesn't have any real relationship with.

"It's not that I don't trust you but mishap may happen anytime, Lala." Scathach said.

"She's right, dear... It's not your fault even if the device went malfunction." Semiramis consoled.

Lala nodded understandingly at their statement.

"Anyway... How about 'them'? Are there any changes?" Irene said while looking at their energy source location.

"None whatsoever, Irene-sama. It seems that our decision of sending Grayfia and Venelana who's weaker than most of us here is the correct decision." Rakia replied.

"Haahhh... Then what should we do next? Should we try again? Or should we wait for a little longer?" Forzelotte said with a sigh.

"Let's wait a little longer..."

Just when they decided to wait a little longer, all of them shuddered greatly since the air suddenly got freezing cold.

The whole <Netherworld> could feel the eerie atmosphere...

Semiramis and the others are the first to notice this.

"...This aura..." Irene said with narrowed eyes.

"This is Master's aura!" Jalter said with a jolt.

"Someone pissed him off..." Forzelotte said direly.

"But who could piss him off to this extent?" Scathach frowned.

"Now is not the time to guess! Locate and pinpoint the source of this aura since it will lead us to Ise's location!" Kathryn shouted.

"I'm already on it..." Irene said with her eyes closed. After a few minutes, she succeeded: "Got it!"

"I will create a portal to his location now!"

Irene waved her arms and created a spatial opening towards Issei's location.

"Me and Forze will go and scout ahead." Semiramis said seriously: "Irene, Scathach! Go gather everyone just in case Ise needed our help!"

"Got it!" Both of them replied.

"Let us go with you!" Jalter said while she wore her battle dress.

"Not yet! Let us scout ahead first!" Without saying anything else, both Semiramis and Forzelotte entered the portal...

...

When they arrived on the other side, they saw their beloved husband is pacing back and forth with an anxious expression on his face.

They almost shed tears of joy and shouted his name but what they heard next made them frozen stiff on the spot.

"Sorry... It's just that I couldn't calm myself down since I'm about to become a father, you know..."

What replaced their joyous feeling beforehand was a fit of thick jealousy...

What did he say? He's about to become a father?!

"Oh? That's interesting... Who's about to become a father now? Care to explain... I-S-E!"

"Ara ara~ Ufufufu...! I'm sure he has a good explanation for this... right... D-E-A-R-E-S-T?!"

Both of them said angrily...

...

"...Semi, Forze..." Issei said with a wry smile.

"Hmm? Yes, dearest? What's wrong? Why don't you start your explanation?" Semiramis said while still 'smiling'.

Both her and Forzelotte walked forward to his location with a chilling smile.

Issei could only awkwardly smile at them.

"Go on. Give us your best explanation." Forzelotte said with narrowed eyes.

But instead of giving them an explanation, Issei went and give them a loving hug instead.

"I miss you two..." He whispered affectionately to the two women inside his embrace.

The two of them waste no time before they return his embrace.

"We miss you too, dearest..."

"Um..." Forzelotte cooed.

He looks at the two of them with a gaze so gentle that they felt like they almost melt in happiness.

"But that's that and this is this! Now explain!" Forzelotte pinched his cheeks angrily.

"Uhh..."

"Master!/Ise-san!"

Just then, there is another group of women appearing nearby them. Each and every one of them is outstanding beauty that could even put Qianye Ying'er beauty to shame...

The Kalars, heroic spirits, and Overlords also arrived alongside them ready for immediate battle.

Starting from Jalter, Jeanne, Wiz, Yunyun, Ramius, Riche... All of them are there to meet their missing husband.

"Girls..." Issei said lovingly looking at his wives running towards him.

Issei immediately got buried in a mountain of softness soon after...

"Ah... They must be his wife... or wives to be precise." Chi Wuyao said with a wry smile.

"...This is the second time I saw him making that kind of expression... And I didn't know that he already has a wife!" Jasmine muttered in jealousy: "I thought that he's different from other men but he's also a pervert just like the others!"

"But isn't that a good thing, dear? That way we could be his wives as well." Xun'er giggled.

"..." Jasmine pouted but didn't try to deny her mother's words.

Caizhi is completely stupefied at the sight of Issei's current face since she never saw it before...

His current expression is so gentle that it made them wish that he would look at them that way...

No women in existence could remain unfazed after they saw this side of him...

"No wonder he's not fazed by our beauty... His wives are on a whole another level." Chi Wuyao added bitterly.

They nodded along with her words.

"Their beauty is not the only thing that's outstanding..." Xiaotao muttered softly while looking at Paniverna: "That woman over there... She's far stronger than the original Phoenix."

"The same goes for that woman over there. Her divinity is beyond our comprehension." Bing'er pointed at Izana.

"You're saying that each and every one of them is a True God?" Mu Xuanyin said in amazement.

No one there is fazed by the number of wives he has since even in their world, a man with multiple wives is quite normal.

The door to the residence was suddenly blasted open, and a butt-naked child with tousled long white hair came flying straight out of it.

She immediately pushed the girls who are dogpiling her father.

They are dumbstruck at her sight so they didn't try to resist her push...

"Are you the one who wanted to bully father? I won't let anyone bully father!" The little figure said while spreading her tiny arms wide trying to 'protect' her father from the bullies.

Shirayuki is finally born!

She's just as cute as the first day he saw her... no, a hundred times more cute! Issei thought to himself.

All of the girls narrowed their eyes at her which made her body shake even more.

Her appearance made all of them there frozen stiff with the exception of Issei.

How come a child who just born recently...

"Is... Is she really a newborn?" Chi Wuyao said in amazement.

Everyone there also wanted to know the answer to that question...

"J-Just so you know! I'm very fierce! I-I'm not afraid of you!" Shirayuki said trying to look brave. But she's not fooling anyone there since her body is slightly shaking.

Wh-Why are there so many of them? But no matter what I won't let anyone harm father! Shirayuki said inside her mind in determination.

"SO CUTE!!!" All of them suddenly swooped down to catch the trembling baby dragon in front of them.

"Eeep! How can someone be so cute like this! This should be a crime! Darling, I want one as well!" Natal said while rubbing their cheeks together.

"Err... You already have one right now though?" Issei said with a sweat.

"Otouto-kun~ let me have her please~"

"Just wait until the one in your stomach is born, Croix..."

""Cute... Give her to us."" Ophis and Lilith said with glistening eyes.

"Like I said... Wait for the ones in your stomach is born..."

"Ise-nya~, I want ten more kittens after this!" Kuroka said feeling jubilant at the fact that their children would be as cute as this little girl in front of her.

"Now that can be arranged," Issei said with a bright smile.

"You... You..." Jalter is at a loss for words while looking at Shirayuki's teary eyes.

She felt like an arrow just shot through her heart and doesn't waste her time a second longer before she joined her sister in their cheek pinching session.

Even Forzelotte is no exception... She keeps pinching Shirayuki's soft cheeks gently.

"Hee, so that's Chichiue's actual daughter huh... Makes me want one for myself as well..." Mordred who's standing not far from them muttered: "But I don't mind having a little sister or brother as well though." She grinned at Altria and Artoria.

The two of them blushed at her words but Altria gives her a thumbs up: "Um. Our kingdom needs an heir so you can count on us."

"I'm first." Okita Alter said sternly. Her gaze is glued onto Shirayuki's face.

"That's not up to you now, is it? And you're having a nosebleed..." Mordred pointed out.

"Uuu... F-Fwather hwelp..." Shirayuki said while crying softly. Now their role is reversed... The one who's being drowned in softness is her instead of Issei...

Issei smiled wryly before he decided to 'rescue' his little princess from their 'assault'...

"Okay that's enough you girls... You're scaring her." Issei lifted Shirayuki from their holds. He summoned some clothes for her to wear while he's at it.

Shirayuki then proceeds to hug Issei tightly and buried her face on his scruff.

"Ah! Give her back, Master! I still haven't had my fill yet!" Jalter shouted.

"What had your fill... she's not some toy alright..." Issei said with a twitch of his mouth.

"How rude! We're not scaring her, Ise!" Rossweisse said with a pout.

"There there, little princess... those big sisters are not a bad person so you don't have to be afraid," Issei said gently.

"...They are not a bad person?" Shirayuki inquired in confusion while she peeks at them.

"Um... You could say that they're your... other mothers." Issei said unsurely.

"Other mothers? But I only have one mother?" Shirayuki said while becoming more confused.

"Uhh... Father will explain it to you later..."

"That's right, dearest... You still owe us an explanation." Semiramis said in realization.

"Well... I'm not so sure either how to explain this... I suppose she's the one who should explain everything." Issei looks at the residence entrance where Shen Xi is currently standing with the help of Grayfia and Venelana.

Shen Xi was nervous about her daughter's situation when she heard the commotion outside. But to her relief, she's not harmed in any way...

"Mother!" Shirayuki waved her arms giddily.

Shen Xi waved back with a smile.

The girls frowned at her since it seems that the whole story is not as simple as they thought... Their husband's expression when looking at this woman is a little cold...

And knowing their husband's personality, he's not someone who will sleep with just anyone no matter how beautiful the other party is...

"Allow me to properly explain..." Shen Xi said softly.

"Wait. Go lie down first. You've just given birth so it's best if you don't push yourself too hard right now... I don't want to make little princess sad." Issei said sternly.

"...I understand." Shen Xi nodded obediently. Then she went back inside her residence to take a rest.

Even though Issei didn't really like this woman who took advantage of him, he didn't want to make Shirayuki become worried if something were to suddenly happened to her.

Shen Xi also understands this fact.

The girls know that the explanation will have to wait.

"Little princess... Why don't you go and accompany your mother." Issei whispered gently.

"Okay, father!" Shirayuki said with a beaming smile.

Issei gives her forehead a quick peck and put her down to the ground. Shirayuki then ran into the residence...

"Now, Ise... Can you tell me just who manages to piss you off and why?" Scathach inquired while crossing her arms.

"Hmm, it's just some trash. Nothing to be concerned about." Issei said in dismissal.

He almost went angry again when he remembered what that trash about to do but managed to stop himself.

Speaking of which, where did that trash go? He totally forgot about him.

"If you're looking for that trash then he's no longer of this world, dear husband~. I already erased him from this world." Nyarlathotep said while she emerged from Issei's shadow.

"Nyarlathotep!" The girls immediately went into their combat stance when they saw her.

"Fufufu, nice to meet you again... sisters~," Nyarlathotep said mischievously.

"Sister?" Semiramis and the others frowned at this.

"*Sigh* I guess that I owe you girls another explanation..." Issei said tiredly.

...

"No way! Absolutely not!" Jalter said with a scowl: "She's the one who separated us from each other and I can't forgive that!"

The other girls also nodded in agreement with her.

"I can understand your concern but... she's also the one who protected me while I was in my defenseless state... albeit not perfectly since someone still managed to take advantage of me," Issei said with a sigh.

"Ara? You're still mad about that? What if I let you punish me then~?" Nyarlathotep slyly smiled: "...You can do me in any position you want~" She said seductively.

"Master!/Dearest!/Ise!" They gnashed their teeth at their display of 'affection'...

"Cut that out..." Issei said while pushing Nyarlathotep away from him.

"Did you forget that she's your biggest enemy Ise? What if someday she decided to pull another stunt of hers?" Irene pointed out.

"Well... She's not a threat anymore." Issei said.

"What do you mean by that?" Irene asked in askance.

"What he's trying to say is that he's already stronger than me... If he ever wishes to then he could kill me at any given time." Nyarlathotep said with a lazy smile completely unperturbed by the fact.

"Huh? How?" The girls asked in surprise.

Then Issei gives them another explanation of him becoming stronger...

The girls' eyes brightened when they hear this.

"So you could say that our momentary separation was a blessing in disguise?" Semiramis concluded.

"Um, you could say that." Issei nodded.

"Haha. As expected of my disciple!" Scathach laughed jovially.

"Hmm... I see... We don't need to be wary of her and as for that child you have, knowing your expression just now I can tell that it's not really your fault in the first place so we can let that slide... But let me ask you another question, Ise... Who are they?" Forzelotte then pointed at Jasmine's group.

"They? Umm, they're my friends?" Issei said awkwardly.

"Hooo, 'friends', was it? Then tell me... Are those faces they currently have is a face a 'friend' should have?" Forzelotte said in a cold tone.

"Errr..." Issei is at a loss for words since he knows that Jasmine and the others have some feelings for him.

The group in question is currently fidgetting in their seat while looking nervous. They keep glancing between him and his wives.

Issei already imparted his skill of language comprehension three days ago after Grayfia and Venelana arrived so they can understand their conversation.

"Well, no matter... I'm just glad that you're fine, beloved..." Irene sighed before she narrowed her eyes: "But... that doesn't give you an excuse for what you've done beforehand!"

"That's right, Master!" Jalter growled: "If you dare to pull another stunt like that in the past... I will, I will..." She wanted to threaten Issei but she got nothing to threaten him with...

"Don't worry... I will never leave your side from now on, Jalter." Issei said with a loving smile while wrapping his arms around her.

"Hmph... you better be." She said grumpily acting spoiled.

"Um... I promise." Issei then gives her lips a gentle kiss which Jalter happily receives.

The husband and wives are finally reunited with each other...

...

Issei stayed in the Primal Chaos World for another few days while waiting for Shen Xi to properly recover.

When the girls heard her explanation, they are quite angry as expected.

Forzelotte for one would've killed her outright if it wasn't for Shirayuki's existence.

"...You better never betray him or else." Semiramis said threateningly.

"Tch... You're lucky that you manage to harbor Master's child... If not..." Jalter scoffed.

The Azure Dragon wanted to help his daughter but it's not his place to butt in... This is a matter between their household and his daughter is indeed in the wrong.

"To be honest... I don't think that I could really forgive you." Issei said while looking at Shirayuki who's playing outside with Hong'er's group: "But for Shirayuki's sake... at the very least... I won't kill you."

"I understand..." Shen Xi nodded calmly: "I know my wrongs and I won't say anything if you wish to kill me for it. But as long as you let me... I will serve you with everything I have."

"..." Issei doesn't respond to her words and only calmly looks at his little princess.

"And as for you girls..." Issei looks at Xia Qingyue's group while feeling unsure.

"As you can see... I already have a wife... Multiple of them in fact. I wanted to say it's better for you to find someone else but... You won't listen to my advice, right?" I awkwardly said when he realizes their gaze which filled with conviction.

"Since you already know the answer to that, why bother asking us, young master?" Chu Yuechan said with a smile.

"Qingyue will only marry young master in this life." Xia Qingyue said bashfully.

"You already promised to take us with you, Ise!" Jasmine said.

"Aiyaa, young master sure are forgetful. Didn't I already say that you're our king? Of course I will follow you wherever you go." Chi Wuyao said seductively.

"Didn't big brother promised Xue'er that we will always be together?" Feng Xue'er said tearfully.

They confessed their feelings to him one by one... Issei is at a loss at their confession.

He thought that he would silently disappear one day but... It seems quite cruel to just abandon them like that...

"Called it... Told you that he will get more women." Kathryn said flatly.

"A-Ahaha..." Riche laughed awkwardly at her words.

"Um. As to be expected of our husband." Ramius said proudly.

"You're not supposed to feel happy about it you titty monster... If he has more wives then our time alone with him would be reduced."

"Hah! Now you put it that way..."

"Heheh, I don't think we can take Ise-nii on by ourselves anyway so maybe with their help we could finally win?" Gurigura grinned.

"Meh... I doubt it... Even when he is not as strong as he is right now, he could already take all of us with ease. Now that he becomes much stronger, even another thousand women won't be any of use."

"I guess Kath-san is right..." Yunyun wryly smiled at the side.

"U-Un... Ise-san libido is unquenchable..." Wiz added.

"Milord is a Dragon amongst Dragons. It is only logical that side of him to be unparalleled." Millet said next.

While the wives are having their conversation, the children also have a conversation of their own.

"You're father's daughter? Then that makes me your big sister!" Nyaruko said happily with her ahoge flailing about.

"Ah? How? Are you mother's first daughter? But mother said that she doesn't have another child other than me?" Shirayuki asked in confusion.

"No, you silly! My mother is not your mother... Father has multiples wives so that means his other wives can also be called your mother which makes you my sister since your mother is also father wife!" Nyaruko tried explaining but Shirayuki becomes further confused instead.

"Wait... Nyaruko, does that mean if I become big brother's wife when I grow up... I will become your mother?" Hong'er asked.

"Bai'er as well? Nyaruko will call Bai'er mother?" Bai'er pointed at herself.

"No! Since I will also marry father in the future, that makes us fellow sisters!" Nyaruko corrected.

"I also want to marry father!" Shirayuki raised her hands.

Jie Yuan who's observing them from the side sweated when she heard their conversation...

"...Isn't their conversation is kind of too high leveled for children of their age?" Forzelotte said with a twitch on her face: "And wipe that grin off your face, you stupid husband. Even though I'm fine with you having multiple wives, I won't let our daughters marry their own father!" She pinched the currently grinning Issei.

"Anyway, Ise... Shall we go back now?" Irene asked.

"Well... I don't have any more business here so I guess we could go home now." Issei said after thinking for a bit.

He already fulfilled his promise completely.

He Lin already reunited with his big sister since his big sister is apparently staying with Shen Xi.

Shen Xi seems to be familiar with Hong'er and Bai'er, well, the original them... but since the other party loses their memories, there's really nothing that she could do.

But it seems that they're best friends or so she said and Shen Xi becomes more grateful for him.

Issei already took care of those Devils outside the "wall" recently... well, his servants are the ones who take care of it.

Some still retained their sanity so they can be reasoned with but the rest is a lost cause... They have become a mindless beast.

Jie Yuan knows that this is the best outcome for her kinsmen so she didn't say anything to their demise.

Issei is willing to let them live in the <Netherworld> if they want to or they could stay in the Primal Chaos world instead.

Of course, in the condition that they didn't cause havoc to the world.

Most of them choose to stay while a small portion decided to live in the <Netherworld>.

Jie Yuan herself is following him since her daughters are with him. There's nothing else that could keep her in her original world other than sad and painful memories...

And after taking a few other things... Issei finally returned to his homeworld...

...

"Welcome back, Ise-sama!" The maids and the Valkryies welcomed Issei return with a joyful smile adorning their faces.

The entire <Netherworld> is noticed of his return.

"Um... I'm back everyone." Issei said with a smile.

He's finally home...

"Is this father's home? It's very pretty!" Shirayuki who's in Issei's arms said.

"Heheh, this is also your home from now on, little princess." Issei said with a gentle smile.

"Mn!" She nodded happily.

Shen Xi who's not far from them smiled at this scene... She's content with just this...

As long as he treats their daughter right... she doesn't care how he treats her.

Those who haven't seen Shirayuki before are captivated by her cuteness just like the others.

They wanted to snatch her away from Issei's arms but obviously it would be impossible... Not as long as this daughtercon of a father is holding her that tightly...

Issei exchanged some greetings with his other servants...

During his greetings, Issei noticed a small group hiding in the corner of the hall.

The group only looks at Issei longingly from the distance...

Just when they thought that Issei will ignore them... contrary to their expectations, Issei actually nodded at them before he look away.

At first, they froze... but soon they smiled through tears...

This lone group is none other than Rias's group.

They are happy with just that one nod from him... At the very least... he didn't completely ignore them...

They know that they won't be forgiven with just this one act of theirs... but that doesn't matter... they will keep waiting until they finally earn his forgiveness no matter how long it takes...

Even if they are not forgiven until the end of their lives... They are willing to be his tools or anything he wishes them to be...

Grayfia and Venelana who notices their little exchange smiled softly feeling glad for their sake...

Xia Qingyue and the others familiarized themselves quite easily in the <Netherworld>.

The <Wood Spirit Race> met their race counterpart which is none other than the elves. They get along almost immediately since the two race is quite similar to each other.

The Devil race from the Primal Chaos world is surprised seeing so many different races live in harmony at first... But soon they sighed in relief since this way they don't need to be afraid of being condemned of what they are...

Nyarlathotep's presence caused a commotion just as expected but after a brief explanation from Issei, they nodded understandingly.

Issei of course sealed her <Chaos> so that she won't mess around but Nyarlathotep didn't try to refuse nor resist it.

Although... Her being extremely clingy to Issei makes Forzelotte and few others feel pissed.

Then a few days passed after his return...

...

"So many kittens nya~..." Kuroka purred while she lay exhausted on the bed.

Not only her... there are multiple girls laying exhausted on the bed but all of them have a blissful expression...

Starting from Kyou, Kinou, Yasaka, Ramius, Yunyun, Wiz, Jeanne, Jalter, Riche, Croix, and so on... ninety percent of his wives are here with the exception of Forzelotte, Semiramis, Scathach, and Irene.

But that's only because the four of them are inside their own room sharing the same state as the present girls...

Nyarlathotep is banned for a whole month since she already has her fill in her own world. Although she's feeling discontent at this, there's really nothing she could do...

The girls' bodies are full of sweats and the whole room is filled with their bodily fluid fragrance.

Issei smiled beamingly at this sight. Ah... It's been a while ever since he could go all out like this.

He still hasn't "eat" Xia Qingyue and the others yet since his beloved wives need his full attention for the last few days.

But that didn't stop them to prepare themselves for their turn...

Even Shirayuki is not allowed to come close to their bedroom...

Shen Xi is holding her back while Jie Yuan is holding her two daughters who are having a little tantrum since they're not allowed to visit their elder brother.

Issei took out his smoking pipe and inhaled through it... The smoke produced by his pipe serves as a relaxing incense for his sleeping wives.

"Ise..." Rossweisse who's happened still awake whispered lovingly and wrapped her arms around his shoulder.

"Hm?" Ise replied softly.

"Why do you want to visit the Kuoh academy?" She asked.

"Well... You could say it's just a whim of mine. It's been a while since I've been there. After all... That place is where it all began..." Issei said in reminiscence.

"But... won't that place bring bad memories for you?"

"Perhaps... but not all of them are bad memories you see..." Issei said while he pulled Rossweisse to his lap.

"Ah." Rossweisse yelped lightly.

"That place is where we spend most of our time after all..." He stroked her face lovingly.

"Un..." She snuggled against his warm touch blissfully.

"Hehe..." She suddenly giggled.

"What's so funny?" Issei asked with a smile.

"Who would've thought that boy who used to scream 'Oppai, oppai' all the time would become someone so powerful like this..."

"Now that you mention it..." Issei wryly smiled.

"Um. I still remember how you tried to break into the woman's bathroom during the school trip to Kyoto... I was there to stop you but you used your <Dress Break> on me."

"I never thought that very same boy would be my dearest husband and would be the father of the child in my belly..." She teared up slightly when she thought until here.

"Don't cry now...", Issei wiped her tears gently.

"I'm sorry... but... it's just that I'm just too happy... I'm afraid that all of this is just a dream... Ne, Ise... Is this... Is this a dream? Am I allowed to feel this happy?" Rossweisse said through sobs.

"Of course this is not a dream... And you deserve to be happy, Rose... I will make sure that you will become even happier from now on. I will always stay by your side now and forever..." Issei then gives her lips a gentle kiss.

"Un... I love you, Ise... My Ise..."

"Ah... I love you too, Rose."

Then they share another passionate kiss that soon changed into another heavy breathing...

...

Issei is standing in front of the Kuoh Academy entrance in the afternoon.

He smiled nostalgically when he saw his old school...

There's barely any change ever since his last visit here... Not surprising since it's only been a few months for this world while years have passed for him.

He should be considered an alumnus of this place instead of a student.

Issei is wearing a white buttoned shirt with a high-collared black leather jacket over it. A long black pants and shoes.

He doesn't wear his mask and only wears sunglasses.

When Issei is about to step forward, he sensed a magic circle near him.

"That symbol... Sitri household?" Issei muttered while looking at the symbol on the summoning circle.

A few seconds later, Sona Sitri and her queen, Tsubaki Shinra appeared.

"Sona-kaichou?" Issei asked in puzzlement: "What are you two doing here?"

Sona and Tsubaki have already graduated after all so it's quite surprising seeing them here. And they also appeared through their summoning circle.

"G-Good day to you, Issei-kun." Sona who was in a daze tried to act calm when she heard his voice. She tried to cover her embarrassment by adjusting her glasses.

Her and Tsubaki's face is a little red from seeing him this up close. The previous Issei is plenty charming already but the current him is even more so.

"W-We're here to visit Saji and the others. What a coincidence to meet you here." Sona said while averting her eyes.

They being here is not a coincidence at all. They heard that Issei will be visiting the Kuoh Academy from someone so they decided to do the same...

"Oh..." Issei nodded: "Shall we go together then?" Issei asked with a smile which made the two ladies face become another shade redder.

"It will be our pleasure!" The two of them replied at the same time.

The three of them then entered the academy... thankfully most students are still in class so they didn't really bump into anyone there.

...

"Nothing really changes huh..." Issei muttered when he looks at the academy surroundings.

"Yes..."

"Well, not really surprising since it's only a few months have passed here after all."

"Yes..."

"I wonder if Saji is doing well as the new President of the student council."

"Yes..."

"Err..." Issei awkwardly looks at the two dazed women behind him.

Should he wear his mask after all? He couldn't use magic to hide his face since his body is immune to them... The illusion magic would've dispelled themselves the moment they come into contact with his body.

"Oh?" Issei heard a commotion in the distance only to see his two school buddies being chased by a group of women who are holding a broom or something similar.

They're none other than Matsuda and Motohama.

"Hahah... Those two are still at it, huh." Issei wryly smiled.

"Hm? Is that..." One of the students who coincidentally saw Issei's party whispered to herself with her eyes widened.

She excused herself from the classroom soon after.

Then they resumed their journey around the school...

After a while, they finally arrived at the student council room.

"We're here, Sona-kaichou." Issei said snapping the two dazed women out of their daze.

"E-Eh? What?" Sona blinkingly asked.

"We have arrived in the student council room... Don't you two need to meet Saji?"

"O-Oh, right!" Sona hastily entered the room without knocking it because she's too embarrassed.

"Sona-kaichou!" Saji who happens to be in the room shouted happily.

But then he notices Issei who's standing behind them: "I-Issei? Is that you?!"

"Yo." Issei raised one of his hands to greet him.

The other student council members with the exception of Momo and Ruruka become frozen stiff at his sight.

"How are you, Saji? Doing good?" Issei grinned.

"Wh-When did you return? I thought you were still missing, man!" Saji enthusiastically greeted him.

"Hahah, I just got back recently."

"Well, whatever. It's good to have you back, Issei!"

"Ah."

The two of them have a little conversation between themselves while the other girls started interrogating Sona and Tsubaki about Issei.

As expected, all of them are stupefied knowing that he's the rumored Issei Hyoudou... One of the infamous three perverts of the school...

Those who have met him before aren't really surprised but they still become entranced at his sight.

"You're alone, Issei? I thought that your wives would be with you." Saji inquired.

"Well... They're currently down for the count you see..." Issei said wryly.

His wives are too exhausted to move so he comes here alone.

"Oh... So what are you here for?"

"Nothing much. I just want to pay the school a visit."

"Issei-kun." Sona faked a cough.

"Yes?"

"Would you mind playing a game of chess with me?"

"Chess?"

"Yes, just one game would suffice." Sona insisted.

"Oh, sure?"

While Issei doesn't know of what a game of chess with Sona means, Saji and the others know of it.

Saji sighed bitterly to himself since he already knew of their little chess match in Kyoto before...

He started to move on from Sona since he now has established a relationship with Momo and Ruruko.

But that doesn't mean that he's not interested in their little match. He wanted to see just how good Issei who could defeat Sona is.

Sona then took out a chessboard for them to play and they took a seat across from each other to start their game.

And as expected... Sona loses once again...

...

"Hah..." Sona sighed in defeat while looking at the chessboard: "Looks like you defeated me once again, Issei-kun."

"Oh, right... Our first match was in Kyoto, wasn't it?"

"Um... But back then I fail to notice your identity since you're wearing a mask."

"Heheh, my bad."

Tsubaki and the others are amazed at their little match... To think that he could defeat her so easily like this...

Sona's face was completely serious thorough the whole match while Issei is perfectly calm.

Issei leaned back to his chair and Tsubaki served him and Sona a cup of tea: "Oh, thank you, Tsubaki-san."

"Y-You're welcome." Tsubaki shyly said.

Issei took a sip of the tea server for him before he stood up from his seat and went to the window...

This place is where it all began...

He looks towards a specific spot under a tree in the school courtyard... where he saw Rias Gremory for the first time...

He chuckled remembering what a ride he has during his life... From a normal human to a devil, to a dragon, to a True God...

His wish was to become a Harem King... which is fulfilled already... but his current wish is only to keep his loved ones safe.

Wish of the Dragon... He chuckled lightly.

"Issei-kun..." Sona called his name once again.

Issei turns his head towards her direction waiting for her to continue.

"You see... I made a vow before..." Sona adjusted her glasses before continuing: "Whoever could defeat me in a game of chess... That person would be my future husb-"

*BAM!*

Just when she's about to finish her words, there's a loud bang coming from the door.

"We're here!" Serafall barges through the door with a bright smile but soon her gaze is transfixed at Issei.

Behind her, there's a group of girls fidgetting around sharing her fate and the men group such as Azazel, Sirzechs, Michael, and Odin are also present.

Issei raised his eyebrows at their arrival. How come there are so many people today?

"Yo, Issei." Azazel greeted with a smile.

"Nice to see you again, Issei-kun. I believe my mother and Grayfia have been a big help?" Sirzechs didn't mention Rias for obvious reason.

"Hohoho, how's Rose doing, Ise-kun?" Odin asked with a laugh.

"Good to see you again, Issei-san." Michael greeted.

"How come you're all here today?" Issei asked in confusion.

"Heh, it seems that you're still not aware of your importance huh," Azazel said smirkingly: "We got the news of your return a few days ago and we wanted to greet you right away but we're told to come later since you're quite 'busy' they said."

"And did you forgot that you're a king? Of course we should properly greet you as we should since you're basically our boss now."

"Uhh... I don't really care about that kind of stuff though."

"Heh, I know that you're not someone who would care for that kind of stuff. Just think of it as an obligation from our side of some sort." Azazel sighed: "Well, that's how it is for us but as for these girls... heheh, you deal with them yourselves, Issei." Azazel pointed at the blushing group of girls.

"Ehhh?! He's really Issei?" One of the girls shouted in surprise. The one who just shouted is Aika Kiryuu. One of Issei's classmates.

"N-N-N-Nice to see you, I-Issei-sama!" Le Fay stutteringly said.

"G-Good day to you, Issei-sama." Elmenhilde greeted in courtesy.

"May the blessing of the God will be with you, Issei-sama." Gabriel said with a smile which made the devils in the room flinched in pain.

"Err, nice to see all of you too..." Issei replied awkwardly.

"Well, since everyone is here then please just take a seat." Sona sighed tiredly since she failed to confess just now...

"Sorry to be a bother." They then entered the student council room and have some conversation with Issei...

(AN: Hmm, I'm a bit confused of what to write for the actual ending scene. But this will have to do, for now, that is... since I don't really have any experience in writing one yet... I will be writing a few more chapters though after this. Maybe a 2nd part for the actual ending scene? I'm not sure yet but I will surely write another chapter where Issei's other children are born).
