"Issei, what do you think of my swimsuit?" Rias showed off her sexy and alluring white bikini.
"Ara~ ara~ Issei-kun, what do you think of mine?"
Not wanting to lose, Akeno stepped forward while subtly supporting her chest, which was no smaller than Rias's.
"Ehem, m-me too… what do you think of mine?" Sona asked shyly. She was wearing a school swimsuit that suited her well, considering her small bust.
Shinra stood beside Sona, wearing a tight school swimsuit strained by her large chest.
Not only them—Koneko, Asia, and Xenovia also asked Issei for his opinion.
"They look great. You all really suit those swimsuits." Issei gave a thumbs-up while blood trickled from his nose.
"Kyaa! Issei-san, are you hurt?" Asia cried out in concern as she noticed his nosebleed.
Without hesitation, Asia used Twilight Healing to heal Issei. However, since the nosebleed was caused by a psychological reaction to seeing beautiful women in swimsuits, the healing effect was not very effective.
While Issei was surrounded by beautiful women from the main heroine group, Saji was also being surrounded by women from the Sitri household.
Saji looked quite popular among them—perhaps he would become a harem king just like Issei in this story.
Meanwhile, Kiba was too busy swimming and missed the chance to compliment Shinra's swimsuit.
Because of that, Shinra chose to move closer to Issei, hoping to receive at least a bit of praise from him.
When Shinra finally received Issei's compliment, her heart raced and her face flushed red.
Since the battle against Kokabiel, Sona and Shinra had grown quite interested in Issei.
Issei's confidence and the feeling that they could rely on him made them want to get closer to him.
On the other hand, Akeno and Koneko continued to admire Issei even more, while also hoping to receive more of his attention.
Asia did not even need to be mentioned—her affection for Issei was already nearing its peak, and it was only a matter of time before she fell deeply in love with him.
Rias was second only to Asia, but she was first when it came to sincerity and genuine concern for Issei.
"All right, let's enjoy the pool to our hearts' content!"
"Ooo!"
Everyone responded enthusiastically, including Saji.
Unlike the original story, there was no duel between the president and the vice president here. Perhaps Sona's presence was the reason the duel never happened.
.....
Time passed, and the meeting of the three factions drew closer, yet there was never any call from Akeno.
Issei was supposed to receive the Dragon-Slaying Holy Sword, but that event was skipped here.
Thinking about it again, the reason was obvious—even to the dumbest person in class.
Heaven clearly had no intention of helping an Issei who was already strong from the very beginning.
In the original story, Issei was too weak, which pushed Heaven to step in and help him.
Now the story was different. Issei was already extremely powerful as a Heavenly Dragon, so there was no need for Heaven's assistance.
In fact, Heaven might now be feeling uneasy, since two Heavenly Dragons were on the side of devils and fallen angels.
If another Three-Faction War were to occur, they would surely have difficulty dealing with two Heavenly Dragons who possessed enough power to kill gods.
Speaking of which, Heaven was one of the factions pushing for the Three-Faction Meeting to be held as soon as possible.
Even though the schedule had already been set and mutually agreed upon, Heaven still wanted to accelerate it.
.....
The Occult Research Club room had become a nest of love for Issei and Rias.
"Rias, why don't you let him out?"
"…I figured it out. So you noticed his presence."
"Of course. Who could possibly ignore someone like him?"
"You know, he is currently sealed."
"A small seal won't be able to block a Heavenly Dragon's scan."
"…I intend to release him, but I'm waiting for permission from onii-sama."
"Hm, I'm sure aniki will approve."
Rias nodded in agreement.
"That's true, but I feel I should ask onii-sama directly."
"All right then."
Issei got up from Rias's lap and, boldly and without hesitation, kissed her lips.
Rias froze as she touched her lips, which still held the lingering sensation of Issei's kiss.
"I have something to take care of. See you at home."
"Wait, where are you going?"
Issei waved his hand without answering Rias's question.
Issei's destination was none other than the three fallen angel women who had long been waiting for him.
Twice a week, without fail, Issei visited them to release his desires while also giving them his affection.
