Issei is a lonely person. " She said getting concerned looks from everyone.
"Due to his powers and how they progressed he never made any friends his age. And those friends he did make are my age and older.
" She saw some looks from the girls "Leviathan enjoys his antics, and if rumors are true then Amaterasu fancies him. "
Sona thought about problems that could arise from that "Are there any other people that we should be worried about?"
"No. " Grayfia shook her head.
"What you girls should be worried about is his tail as you saw earlier. "
"His tail?" Akeno thought that there might be something more important things
"If his tail is out keep track of it. As you all are young ladies he tends to have a mischievous side when he's bored.
"
They understood what she was talking about when she said that. "How mischievous aside from earlier can he get?" Akeno wondered about things.
"It can move quickly enough to lift up my dress should he want to. So if he wants to he could have his way but he's not dumb enough to do that.
"
"I guess I will have to punish him. " Akeno was happy to have something fun and exciting to come across her plate.
"You enjoy that. " Grayfia told Akeno "But whatever you do don't destroy what trust you have with Issei.
He is a valuable ally and yet he has chosen you, girls, for the closest thing he has to friends. If you keep him happy he will keep you happy and you're bound to learn something from him.
When it comes to combat the kid is no joke so if he wants to teach you listen and apply yourselves. The last thing we need is somebody like him running around causing problems.
" Grayfia placed a tablet on the desk "This has some video of his spars with Leviathan. Once you see this you will understand what Issei has to offer.
I suggest you watch it now. "
A cemetery was a place nobody ever wanted to visit. But for Issei, this was a place he knew all too well.
Issei stood overlooking a plaque with some names on it. He felt a vibration in his pocket as he pulled out his phone and answered it "Hello?"
A smooth female voice came out "Hello Hyoudou Issei. "
"What do you need, Griselda Quarta?" He asked, still fixated on the stone slab.
"Lady Gabriel has called some of us for a gathering and she wishes that you would join us. That is if you are not busy with your new-found vices.
"
"Ha ha ha," He gave her a monotone laugh "She knows how to get a hold of me so why are you calling me?"
"Can you come to the Vatican or not?" An aggravated tone came from her.
Issei sighed as he spoke "I can but it's not going to be till the top of the hour. I need to finish what I'm doing here then leave a note at home.
"
"I thought you live alone?" She asked as this was a development to her. A wet towel came across the plaque Issei saw as it read Miki and Gorou Hyoudou.
Nothing was said for about ten seconds as she spoke up "Are we still connected?"
"We are. " He looked up from the plaque seeing that nobody was around.
"I have a housemate now, one of the church's many mistakes. " He hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket.
Reaching down there was a small bucket with water in it, he lifted it up and poured the remaining water on the plaque removing the remaining dust. "I miss you.
" He said as he grabbed the bucket as he was ready to leave. As he made his way home there was a truck in front of his house moving boxes into his house.
When he entered the house he saw Rias and Asia moving boxes around "So uh what's going on here?" He asked getting their attention.
Rias looked over and saw Issei "I decided I'm going to live with you now. "
"Huh, that's cool. " He hitched his thumb towards the door.
"Looks like I don't need to give you a key tho. "
Rias was embarrassed about that "Asia unlocked the door for us. You're not mad are you?"
"Nope. " He shook his head "Well yes I am but it's nothing the two of you have done.
"
"Is it because. .
" Rias tried to speak as Issei put his hand on her head.
"It has nothing to do with your brother. " He said as he took his hand off her head.
"I have to go to Rome. " The significance of the city was well understood.
"And I need to be there in five minutes. And I have no clue when I will be back.
" He headed off to a room in the back of the downstairs "I swear they forget how timezones work. " Issei said as he shut the door behind him.
About a minute later Issei appeared not in Rome but in a building in the Vatican. It was a basement in one of the many buildings around the area.
Once he reached the main floor there was a man sitting in a chair near the door. "Well hello, there young man.
" He saw Issei wearing all black clothing. "That's an unusual choice of colors for such a place.
"
Issei looked at the old man as he pulled out a card and showed it to him "Yet here we are with a group of people who forget how timezones work. "
"Yes, they tend to forget that you live on the other side of the world. Anyways you're wanted in the main hall.
" He said as Issei left the room making his way towards the main cathedral.
As he entered, he was greeted by a tall woman in her early thirties with blondish hair and blue eyes. "Come.
