**Chapter 5**
**Issei PoV**
The look on the faces of everyone present here was cinematic. I wish I could capture it.
Koneko was the first to go back in character and began to eat her chocolate, but her speed was noticeably faster now.
Kiba was next, she went back to her trademark smile. Himejima-san wasn't as fast, but she hid it well with her laugh.
She definitely is the Ara~Ara type, I can feel it in my-
(Is there really a reason to say that?)
Fine. Ddraig could be a bore sometimes I can only say such things in my mind after all.
And Rias, who I thought was going to be the fastest, ended up being the slowest. She then created a magic circle and a bunch of papers appeared out of it.
She then handed it to me.
"How did you even know about this?"
"Someone told me. Medical? Check. Paid leaves? Check. Overtime bonus? Check. Nice! Good deal!"
I handed back the papers to Rias, who, as if she had just given up on me knowing stuff magically out of nowhere, and went to her seat.
She put up her hands near her face and criss crossed them and with a villain-like tone and ambiance spoke.
"We devils-!?"
"Yeah, I know that. I also know Yuuma was a fallen and she killed me. Now I am a devil, thanks to you. Next!"
Rias broke out of her character and looked at a paper beneath her desk and said.
"He isn't supposed to know this, how can I look like the confident leader who knows everything in front of him?"
Did she just mutter that? And everyone else is ignoring it?
(It would seem that she isn't as good as you thought.)
"Yes! She killed you because of a sacred gear! I assume you know about it. And as such you have been reborn as a member of the House of Gremory, with me Rias Gremory as your King and master!"
And she took the first opportunity to show off. I wonder what she would have done if I had intervened here as well? But wait—
King? Shouldn't it be a queen? Does she have a pole? A horrible image uncovered itself in my mind.
(That is intriguing!)
Ddraig, don't! That's a hole not many return from!
As I tried stopping Ddraig from going down the deep end, Rias posed me a question.
"As such you are now a full-fledged servant of Duke Gremory!"
"Yeah, that's cool. How did you know I was dying?"
She's a future duchess?! I just hit the jackpot! Ddraig you hear me?
(A female with a pole, huh! What did you say, Partner?)
You are too far gone!
Rias then showed me a piece of paper, which felt awfully familiar.
"Hey! I got it when I was walking home from my gym a few days ago! I also saw it on my last breath, don't tell me it's a summoning tool!"
"Indeed, Issei you had this and managed to summon me at your last moment, allowing me to revive you as a devil. Now could you show us your Sacred Gear?"
"I see. I can, but you didn't even have a guess as to what my sacred gear was, or more correctly, what is it?"
I needed to know if they knew about this beforehand.
"Well it is a dragon type, that's all we know. Thanks to the aura that was left after you killed the fallen angel."
Himejima-san said. So they aren't able to pinpoint it?
"In general dragon-type sacred gears are powerful, I am hoping for something like the Vritra series."
Ddraig how off are they on the basis of power?
(With the amount of time and information they had? It is very good, but based on power, they couldn't be more far away. Vritra is not the type to go headfirst into a fight, so he lacks pure firepower.)
Then i'm ready to give them the shock treatment, Partner.
(Always ready to laugh at some devils! Partner, let's do this!)
"Well, here I go!"
I raised my right hand near my chest and clenched my fist, and imagined throwing the most perfect punch I could manage.
And a green flash, followed by a red one happened in the room and a dominating voice echoed twice.
[Dragon Booster!]
[It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Devil of the Gremory house. My name is Ddraig and I am the Welsh Dragon.]
Their faces are Oscar-worthy!
(I don't know what that term means, but they sure are hilarious.)
…
Now I was sitting beside Koneko, like before and Himejima-san was serving tea to everyone.
Kiba was still smiling, while Rias was giddy for some reason.
"It's the Boosted Gear! One of the Thirteen Longinuses! I would have never guessed it!"
Well, she is pumped. Jump more!! I am getting good material!
(I did not need to hear or see that!)
I ignored the grumpy dragon
"Now then Issei, I am going to explain to you how devil contacts work!"
Just what I wanted! My time to shine has come!!!
"Basically you will give out these seals to those who are likely to summon a devil. We have a GPS-like locator for that.
When they summon you, you will go and fulfill their wishes. And then take your payment, it could be anything from money to their lives.
The more contracts you make, the higher your rank would be. You need to have a certain number to upgrade your rank from low class to mid class and then so on.
Also, when you get your familiars they could give out these flyers anytime, saving you from the work. But until you get one, you need to pass them yourself.
And remember you can do that only after sunset before that is not advisable. Though your familiars can do this at all times.
If you have any questions you can ask them now."
There were a lot of things to remember. And I can just take someone's life in exchange? That is so wrong!
"It's really simple, so then, when do I start?"
"That's the neat part! Right now! Here's your set of flyers, the GPS, and off you go!"
She seemed way too happy to send me off. Did I piss her off somehow?
(You kicked her out of your house in the morning, after laying naked with her for the entire night.)
Yeah, definitely because of that. Now, off I go on my first day—or night as a devil.
I quickly went to my home, and told my parents that I was joining a club at school and might come back later than usual.
Then I picked up my bicycle and went to work.
Wait! Ddraig, I forgot something incredibly important!
(What is it?)
I Reject my Humanity, Ddraig!
(WHAT!)
…
Delivering the flyers was easy, but it took me an hour. There are many greedy people around in Kuoh.
Returning to the clubroom, I saw Koneko eating a popsicle this time. Too lewd!!!
And Rias, are those her nipples!!!
(Partner, focus!)
YES!
"Issei, since you are done with your job. Then help out Koneko, she has two clients to attend to at the same time, so you handle one of them."
She was wearing just a magenta towel around her bombastic figure, is she deliberately doing this to annoy me just because I didn't let her use my shower?
"If you would be so kind."
Koneko said bowing a little, I don't sense even an ounce of sincerity in that tone.
"Ah, no need to, it would be my pleasure."
"Akeno, please show him."
And I witnessed magic. Rias put the seal of the Gremory household on my palm to let me use their magic circle to teleport.
Alright, let's do this. I somehow managed to get the circle going and teleported.
(Partner, you can only do one teleport. Your demonic energy is too low.)
Should have told that earlier, Ddraig!
…
I appeared in front of a middle-aged man, who looked like he was sick for a year.
"Who are you? You are not Koneko-chan!"
"Yeah she's busy, I am the new member of the Gremory peerage."
"Damn you! How can I get my wish then?"
I looked around the room and saw an Otaku's wet dream. Let's hope he is a fan of Dragon Sō Ball.
"Hey, I can't do what Koneko can, but by any chance, do you want an Author signed, limited edition, Dragon Sō Ball manga?"
The man looked me dead in the eye and said.
"How many and how much?"
I checked the weird-looking device I was given by Rias and it showed me the price.
"The whole set for 50,000 yen."
"Deal!"
"Then please sign the pact."
"Do it fast!"
"Yeah, sure."
I signed the pact and got the money, and the entire set appeared out of the device.
"Oh my god! This is glorious!"
"Yeah, I will get going then, if you want you can summon me later, I left my flyer on the set!"
I walked out of his door.
(That was splendidly done, Partner! How did you know exactly what he wanted?)
Well, if things had gone differently, that would've been my future. So I have a good idea what people like that want.
Ddraig again went silent at that.
Well my bicycle is at school and I can't teleport back, I should call Rias and tell her that I am going back home.
(But isn't going alone at night just an invitation to be attacked by a fallen?)
Well, you see Ddraig, that is the plan. For the past two times, they have been coming quite hard at me.
It is finally time that I also go hard on them.
(What is that supposed to mean?)
You will soon come to know that, dear partner.
…
I was deliberately taking the longest route to my home. Come on, take the bait.
I know that Rias would be pissed if she knew that I was waiting for someone who could potentially kill me, and I don't think I will get a second DLC expansion this time.
Let's hope it is something I can handle, or at least run away from.
And then I felt it, the feeling of chills going up my back and every hair on my body standing on end.
I didn't shiver or freeze, I was accustomed to this by now. And now I hold the power to do something.
I turned around and Holy Cow, is she a model? And what's with those bazongas and legs! With that dress, it is criminal for her to walk at night!
(Partner, focus!)
I am focused, Partner, at her specifically, I don't take my eyes off my opponents when I am in the zone!
(Wha-?! Whatever, just beat her and then you can gaze at her legs!)
Damn right!
"This is unusual. I don't seem to have confused you with someone else. Well I, Kalawarner, was ordered to remove any and all traces of you!"
"Cool story. Still gonna pass on dying."
Ddraig, what do we do? How many Boosts do you reckon?
(At max five. She is on a similar level to the one you have already killed.)
Nice. She ignored the line and continued.
"This truly is unusual. How are you still alive?"
"I didn't know it was a crime to be alive."
She didn't humor me with a response and pulled out her wings, they were the same as Yuuma and Dohnaseek.
"You were supposed to be killed by her!"
And a golden spear came hurtling at me. Well, time for a counterattack.
It's time, Ddraig!
[Dragon Booster!]
[BOOST!]
The voice of the Heavenly Dragon echoed in the road as I smacked the spear of light aside and rushed at the bombshell.
"What! You have the Boosted Gear? That wasn't in the report!"
"Well, there is a reason for that!"
I put my left foot down and threw a solid hook to her face. Sorry babe! Gotta prioritise my well-being here.
She managed to dodge and flew up, in an attempt to escape.
"I see, you must have been the one to kill Dohnaseek. I shall return and inform Raynare."
"Yeah, a good excuse for, as they say, a tactical retreat!"
"You think I would run from a young one like you?!"
"Thanks for the time!"
[BOOST!]
With four times the strength, I jumped as high as I could and stretched out my hand to catch them legs!
Kalawarner, now in a panic flew higher but I was just marginally faster and managed to latch on to her calves.
Man, they are soft but not weak, still firm.
(Partner!!)
Yes, I got it Ddraig.
"You're going down!"
I said with a smirk and pulled her, no threw her down with all my strength.
But she had way better control of her wings than I gave her credit for. She managed to hover just above the ground.
But too bad for her, I was in a much better position. She created another spear and thrust it towards me.
She really thought I couldn't dodge mid-air?
My devil wings furled, and I, with grace, wove through her stab attempt and landed beside her.
[BOOST!]
My gauntlet-covered arm latched onto her throat with the speed of a cobra.
And twisting on my left leg, I crashed her into a wall. Wings first.
That should make her escaping difficult. The wall cracked and wobbled. The ground below was shattered as well.
*Gahh!*
Before her body could rebound back, in her panic she tried to claw my hand off her throat.
And both of her hands scratched at my gauntlet-covered arm, too bad it didn't do anything and left her unguarded which I took full advantage of.
My knee impacted her unguarded stomach, and saliva came from her mouth flying towards my face.
*Blargh!*
"Sorry lady, too fast to exchange saliva with you just yet!"
I wanted to do that so badly!
My hand left her throat, and she gulped in the air with a frantic expression. Her face was red due to her lack of breathing. But too bad it wouldn't last for long.
I crouched down a little and pulled my right arm back.
Her body was falling down to the ground, but I could see it in slow motion. Her eyes showed horror.
She could see my cocked punch coming for her abdomen, but her hands were not fast enough. Well at least she tried.
[BOOST!]
"AAHHHHH–!!!"
Her scream cut off in the middle as all the air left her lungs, and her eyes rolled back.
The wall, already weak, shattered like a chalk stick. And the ground was now a small crater.
Her maroon coat and skirt were blown away, leaving her with only her shirt which showed a generous amount of cleavage, oh my that is indeed generous, very generous!
And are those lace panties, the silk ones? And a navy-colored one! Jackpot!
The blue-haired fallen was thrown back, with the remaining portion of the wall crushing her, covering her figure.
I looked around for a bit and saw the damage I had done. Around half of the wall in this street was done for.
How would you rate it, Partner?
(Excellent! That was superb. You are quite possibly one of the most skilled users of the Booster Gear in history in such a short time! Now it's time to finish it!)
If required that is, but still lower down the power of Dragon Shot, if I had to go and use that.
(Sure!)
I moved into the backyard of the poor guy, whose wall I had just demolished. And was ambushed.
Shit, she isn't knocked out yet?
Apparently, she had used magic to shield her back at the last moment, her stomach might as well be gone then.
But in my moment of carelessness, I couldn't dodge the impromptu joust I was at the receiving end of.
My forearm was sliced, Shit! That actually fucking hurts!
Kalawarner attempted to fly away, but the game was over now.
My left arm caught her arm and pulled her towards me.
And an orb of red energy pulsating with power was released near her shoulders.
[Dragon Shot!]
Just like the first time, the orb crushed the skin around it and then propelled her to go through the wall, or the remaining part at least.
But she didn't stop and crashed into an electric pole and bent it completely, cutting off the power line of this street for a week.
And as a bonus, her shirt was destroyed with that too! Finally some revealing stuff!
I ran up to her but she was faster, it seemed the fallen equivalent of adrenaline had hit her, she shot up like lightning in the sky and rushed back.
The view is amazing from below, and so is the lip outline!
[BOOST!]
Alright Ddraig, she ran away.
(You could have ended her!)
That was not the plan, now she would bring me more. If I wasn't injured, I would have followed her and ended this problem in one go.
Well, fate wants me to rest, so rest I shall.
With that, I ignored the damage to public and private property I just did, and trotted my way home to get some much-needed sleep and hope the wound heals itself by tomorrow.
Or else I would need a very good explanation for Rias!
Man, my life is hard.
(But not as a certain part of yours, Partner.)
Ddraig said while snickering, Hey she was hot okay?
…
AN:- And we get to the action!!! Enjoy!!!
