Chapter 2424 - DxD 15

"So, both of you were sent by the church to capture the stray exorcist and the traitor who stole the Holy Swords? And now you're telling me they might be working with one of the fallen angels' leaders, Kokabiel?" Inside a restaurant, Yusuke watched the two girls devouring their food as he spoke.

After their ridiculous marriage proposal earlier, which Yusuke completely ignored, the duo kept bickering nonstop until he finally cut them off. Seeing that they were hungry, he decided to take them out to eat.

From what they told him, the twintailed girl named Irina had been scammed after buying a portrait of Jesus, thinking it was genuine. She spent all their money on it, and now they didn't even have a place to stay for the night.

When he brought them to the restaurant, they originally wanted to sit beside him, but when he saw them about to start bickering again, he refused.

"Yes, even though Kokabiel is strong, we have to retrieve the Holy Swords, even if it means risking our lives," Xenovia said, taking a bite of her burger and speaking with her mouth full. "But I'd rather not die after finally finding my husband." She smiled at him shyly as she spoke.

She would have looked beautiful if she weren't smiling with her cheeks puffed full of food. Still, with her good looks, she somehow managed to look cute anyway.

[Xenovia Quarta's submission: 49 (Possessive)]

[Irina Shidou's submission: 47 (Possessive)]

With their relatively high submission value, when Yusuke asked about them, they ended up telling him everything.

"It's good that you decided not to throw your life away," Yusuke said with a calm nod. He reached out, wiped the sauce from her lips, then brought his finger to his mouth and licked it. "It'd be a waste for a good girl like you to die for nothing."

His action triggered exactly the kind of reaction one would expect from a new yandere. Xenovia's body froze, her mind went into overdrive, and the burger slipped from her hands onto the table.

For now, Yusuke had a good impression of the two women. They didn't seem inherently evil or completely insane. He came to this conclusion based on how they reacted to each other's love for him. Despite their anger and resentment, neither did anything extreme beyond arguing. If it had been Murayama with her Sacred Gear and another girl who had just met him, Yusuke was 99% sure she would have stabbed the poor girl or, even worse, cut her to pieces.

Though this was just his first assessment and still required more observation, after all, there are many yanderes who can suddenly turn very dark when provoked. Perhaps it was also a factor that they had just met him and hadn't been exposed to him for long.

"Darling, say ahh~!" As he thought this, Irina leaned over the table with a French fry in her hand, a bashful smile on her face.

Yusuke opened his mouth and ate the fry. As he did, he felt her finger brush against his tongue. Not only that, her finger lingered, tracing his lips a few times before retreating.

Irina returned to her seat, holding her hand and giggling in a strangely eerie way. "Hehehe~!"

If this had happened before everything he had been through, Yusuke might have been astonished or surprised. By now, however, he didn't find any of her actions weird or out of place. It was exactly what a yandere should normally do.

"What should I do with them now?" Yusuke crossed his arms and fell into deep thought. The rewards for their quests were quite good, actually very high. One level, skill points, and a free skill. He was especially curious about the skill called Ascendant Form. From its name, it sounded like an incredibly powerful ability.

There was also the matter of that Kokabiel guy. Raynare and Kalawarna had told him about him, and it seemed that he had been plotting something in Kuoh Town for quite a while.

Now, with the church involved, the situation in Kuoh Town would become even more complicated with all three factions involved. Who knows, a single mistake could spark another great war.

Especially if people with important identities, like Rias or Sona, were killed.

That Kokabiel was also one of the leaders of the fallen angels. If he were killed, it was likely the fallen angels would start a conflict with the other factions.

And then there was that Azazel guy. Kalawarna said he knew about Kokabiel's movements. As the Governor of the fallen angels, why wasn't he stopping him? Or could it be that he was plotting something even bigger?

'This is freaking annoying! Kuoh Town is just a small town. Why would that bastard even target it? He could've gone to bigger, better places! Damn it! I just want to do my quests and enjoy my harem life in peace!' Yusuke suddenly grabbed his head and roared in his mind.

"I'm full, Yu, let's go home," Xenovia said after finishing her meal. She stood up, walked over to him, and spoke in a cheerful tone as if saying something perfectly ordinary.

"Me too! I'm done eating, darling, let's go home!" Irina shot a glare at Xenovia, set down her half-eaten burger, and stood up as well.

Neither of them even bothered asking his permission to call him so casually. Not that he cared, since he had made the same mistakes plenty of times when he first arrived in this world, but it still showed just how strange these two girls were.

"Home? What home?" Yusuke asked as he stood up, pulling out his wallet.

"Your home, of course. As your bride, your home is my home, right, darling?" Irina said, holding his hand with a bright yet slightly perverted smile. Her hand trembled as she gripped his, as if she were having some kind of mental orgasm at that very moment.

"No, you're not going to my home," Yusuke said firmly, shaking his head. "I have a free place where you can spend the night, but neither of you is staying at my place."

There was no way he'd bring those two to his house. Not even Koneko or Rias had ever spent the night there. His house was his harem paradise, the one place he could relax, play, flirt, and enjoy his wild, depraved fun with his beloved women without interruption. Bringing an untamed yandere into that haven would only spell disaster for his blissfully corrupted peace.

"Ehh? Why? I want to sleep with you, darling!" Irina shouted, her voice filled with shock.

"What do you mean by sleeping with him? Yu is my husband! He'll be making love to me tonight!" Xenovia snapped, glaring at Irina as she grabbed Yusuke's other arm and pressed it tightly against her large, full chest.

"Are these two for real?"

"Kids these days know how to play, heh. How envious."

"Damn, that guy is living the dream. I want girls to fight over me, too."

"If I were him, why choose one? I would take them both straight to bed and give them some thick, deep love."

"Heh, with that scrawny body? Look at him, then look at you. I bet your soul would be drained in a single night."

"That man has such a good body. Maybe he's hiding some other muscles down there. I wonder how it would feel if he pushed me down and railed me roughly! Ehh? Why does it suddenly feel cold?"

The voices of the two girls drew the attention of the other customers, who began whispering among themselves, casting envious and astonished glances their way. The last to speak was a woman in her mid-twenties, who suddenly felt a chill run through her, making her shudder.

"Hey, I told you earlier not to argue, it's annoying! Wait until I'm gone, and you can fight all you want," Yusuke said, reaching out and tapping their shoulders. His strong aura made the two of them freeze in place.

He had done this earlier to stop both of them from arguing, and the move succeeded perfectly in halting them. It also made it clear that he wasn't weak or a pushover, able to deal with any kidnappings that might cross their yandere minds in the future.

It was also for this reason that Xenovia and Irina had told him about their mission. If he were a normal person, they probably wouldn't have been so open about sharing information on supernaturals so early. After all, who knew if he would even believe them?

"I'm sorry."

"Darling, I'm sorry too."

The two girls immediately lowered their heads and apologized.

After paying the bill, Yusuke led the two girls, who had started a silent clinging competition over who could cling to him more, to a fairly large house. Opening the door, he said, "You two can stay here as long as you want, just don't go destroying the place."

Raynare and Kalawarna both had large amounts of money and properties. This house was one of Raynare's properties that she had bought but never used. Though now, all of this wealth had become his.

It hadn't been visited for God knows how long, and a faint layer of dust covered the furniture. Yusuke cast a cleaning magic to remove the accumulated dust.

"Whoa, so big!" Both girls exclaimed at the same time.

[That's what she said.] The system suddenly snickered.

'Well, she isn't wrong,' Yusuke chuckled.

...

"I'm back!" After settling the two down and struggling free from their clingy arms, Yusuke finally returned home.

"Welcome back, husband~!" He was greeted by a perfectly beautiful woman in a black apron.

She was wearing only a freaking apron, walking toward him with her long black hair and large bust swaying. "Is this to your liking?" she spun around with a wide smile.

When she turned, her naked back and perfectly shaped butt were clearly visible to him.

"Nice body, Akeno!" Yusuke gave her a thumbs up with a wide, perverted grin. As expected, nothing beats the feeling of being home!

"Fufufu~! Yusuke-kun is really honest!" Akeno laughed delightfully. She bent over and placed a pair of slippers in front of him. "I've already prepared the bath for you."

Yusuke slipped on the slippers while listening to her, his eyes glued to her breasts bouncing with every movement. A naked apron, what a marvelous invention!

"Actually, I'm still missing something and need your help," Akeno said in a soft, lascivious voice as she pulled his arm and led him in the direction of the bath.

"What is it?" Yusuke asked, curious.

Akeno let go of him and stood before him. With flushed cheeks and heart-shaped pupils, she lifted her apron and said, "I've been feeling empty since earlier. Can you please fill me up? I need you inside me, husband~!"

The scene revealed beneath her apron a beautiful pink pussy, literally flooding with her naughty fluids, her fluids running down her thighs and dripping to the floor.

Thud!

It was as if a string snapped. Yusuke immediately pushed Akeno against the wall, lifted both her legs onto his shoulders, ripped off his trousers and boxers, and thrust his erect cock directly into her eager pussy.

...

Pa! Pa! Pa!

"Hmm! Haahn! Haaah! Hyaaa! More! More! Fuck! Hurry and cum! I want to feel your hot stuff inside me! Haaah!"

Akeno's voice resounded through the first floor, alerting a certain blond nun. Asia tiptoed silently toward the source of the sound, leaning against the wall to peek at the scene. The moment she saw it, her pupils shrank and her face froze.

Because Akeno, Raynare, Murayama, Tsubaki, and the others always tended to seduce him whenever and wherever they wanted, it was perfectly normal for Yusuke to end up deep inside any of them at random, in any place.

They could be watching TV and end up in an orgy, or just walking through the kitchen when he suddenly sees a naked ass sticking out from a doorway, waiting for him. These things happened so often that they had become completely normal.

However, to avoid causing Asia any inconvenience, Yusuke didn't stay on the first floor much. Right now, because of Akeno's seduction, he forgot everything else and went straight to fucking her brain into mush.

Asia was witnessing this scene for the first time. Her heart raced with excitement, yet at the same time, a sharp pain gripped her chest as she struggled with the thought of her beloved being with another woman.

On one hand, she was deeply pained to see him drilling into another woman. On the other, she was thrilled to see Yusuke's naked, sacred body right before her eyes, a scene she had only ever imagined in her dreams.

'Yusuke-sama! Yusuke-sama!' Shouting his name in her mind, Asia's hand slowly crept between her legs and began touching herself vigorously, performing her S-rank water jutsu.

**

"Riser-sama!" In a fairly luxurious apartment, Issei and Saji met Riser.

"Sorry, you two. As your master, I was careless and let my guard down. Since it was Rias's territory, I didn't expect members of the Church to attack you," Riser said apologetically. He strode toward Saji, who was lying on the sofa with his leg bandaged. Reaching into his jacket, he pulled out a small bottle and opened it. Inside was a single droplet of liquid that faintly glimmered under the light.

"Phoenix Tears!" The one who spoke was Kiba. He had come along with Riser and now leaned against the wall, quietly watching their movements.

Phoenix Tears are a rare potion capable of instantly healing injuries. A single drop can regenerate wounds and restore vitality, though it cannot replace lost blood or organs. However, it can be used to reattach a severed limb.

Only the House of Phenex possesses the ability to create this magical potion, granting them immense economic and political influence despite their rank as mere marquesses.

It was said that even a single drop of Phoenix Tears was extremely expensive, and the demand for them far exceeded the supply. Whenever one appeared on the market, it would be purchased almost instantly.

After all, a single vial could save a life. It was like owning an extra life. For the wealthy noble houses, no amount of money could compare to the value of their precious lives.

"Riser-sama," Saji tried to get up, but Riser stopped him. "Don't move."

Carefully, Riser opened Saji's mouth and fed him the potion. Almost instantly, the magic took effect, and all his wounds vanished. "The wounds! They're gone! I'm healed!"

"Thank you, master!" Saji immediately stood and bowed deeply to Riser.

"That's the least I could do for you. After all, it is my fault for allowing something like this to happen to you," Riser said, patting Saji's shoulder with a gentle smile. Compared to the inferior and ungrateful female gender, he was very satisfied with his new male servant, who could show gratitude and also possessed far greater potential than his previous pathetic female servants.

He must have been blind to include only the lesser gender in his peerage in the past. None of them was exceptionally talented. Heck, even his Queen Yubelluna was worthless in comparison to Saji when it came to potential.

The experience of having his fiancée stolen from him, his mother looking down on him, and his peerage giving up on him, though he was the one who had abandoned them, bred in him a twisted sense of insecurity and mistrust toward women.

Using a precious Phoenix Tear to heal his servant and further secure his loyalty and gratitude was more than worth it for Riser, who could create as many Phoenix Tears as he wanted.

During the process, Issei watched with a strangely uneasy feeling. Why the hell did Riser feed Saji the potion? It was not like Saji was paralyzed or in a coma; he could have taken it himself. For some reason, Issei felt that this was somehow… Geh!

"Issei, you also need this. Your shoulder is injured, and if you don't heal it, it will affect your battles later," Riser said, turning to Issei and tossing another bottle to him. Issei caught it and bowed slightly. "Thank you, Riser-sama."

'Fortunately, he didn't try to feed me too,' Issei thought with amusement as he held the bottle and drank. Soon, the wound on his shoulder healed completely, and he removed the bandage.

He turned to Kiba and asked, "Why is this guy here?" If there was anyone else he envied besides Yusuke Aoki, it would be Kiba, the school's prince charming.

In fact, he envied him even more than Yusuke. Yusuke was not nearly as handsome as this pretty boy. On the contrary, Issei felt that he was even more handsome than Yusuke, which made him see Yusuke as a role model and motivation. If Yusuke could do it, why couldn't he?

But this guy was just too freaking handsome. There were so many girls at school who were smitten by him! It was so annoying to watch them cry and faint whenever he walked past. Heck, there were even rumors that some girls and female teachers had tried to sexually harass him.

'Fuck! It should've been me, not him!' Issei clenched his fists and shouted, his eyes brimming with tears.

[That's pathetic, partner. No Dragon would want to be raped by another woman,] Ddraig said, feeling disappointed in his hopelessly perverted host. This guy was thirsty as hell.

"This is Yuuto Kiba. He is Rias Gremory's Knight, and he is here to help us fight the people who attacked you," Riser said, turning to Kiba as he explained to his Pawn and Queen. "He has a feud with the two Church rebels."

"I appreciate your help, Riser-sama, but please remember I want to be the one to kill Freed and Valper Galilei," Kiba said, clenching the sword at his waist as he spoke.

Earlier, Riser approached him and proposed they work together to deal with members of the Church and the Holy Swords. He said he also wanted revenge for his servants. Unlike Rias, who was afraid to act because she did not want to implicate her brother and risk provoking a war, Riser did not have a Maou as a brother.

Since Freed was the one who attacked them, they had every right to defend themselves and retaliate.

Kiba, who failed to defeat Freed and also failed to even locate him after he escaped, decided to work with Riser in the end.

As long as Kiba does not implicate Rias or put her in difficulty, he does not care about anyone else.

"We will split into two groups. Issei and Kiba will work together, and Saji and I will form the other group," Riser said, assigning the teams. He then told Issei and Kiba the possible locations Freed might go to. After that, they split into two groups and left the apartment.

...

"Irina! We need to talk!"

"Xenovia! Explain yourself!"

As soon as Yusuke left the house, Irina and Xenovia spoke at the same time, glaring at each other with ice-cold eyes.

The duo, who had shared unbreakable bonds for years, was now on the verge of a fight over a man they had met just a few hours ago.

Both of them were somewhat airheaded, and when it came to relationships, they were both surprisingly direct. Xenovia, in particular, was the type to bluntly confess to you, propose to you, and even fuck you without hesitation.

The two of them had fallen in love with the same man at the same time. If it weren't for their inherently good natures, upbringing, and long close relationship, they would have already gone at each other's throats with their swords.

"I love Yu. I have already decided to give up my role in the Church and spend my life with him as his wife," Xenovia said firmly, her tone serious. In the past, she had believed it was only right to devote everything to the Lord and the heavens, a belief strengthened even further after becoming the wielder of Durandal. But now, all of that had been thrown away.

She planned to return Durandal to the Church, then come back to this town to become his wife and live happily with him forever. Nothing was going to stop her from making that happen!

"Darling is my darling! Xenovia, how could you try to steal him from me?" Irina shouted, shaking her head so hard that her twin tails swung through the air. She patted her chest proudly and declared, "I'm going to tell Father and Mother that I found my darling, and I'm going to spend my whole life with him! I'll never give up on him, not even in death!"

"No! Not even death can separate me from him!"

When it came to obsession and determination to claim Yusuke, Irina refused to lose to Xenovia or any other woman.

"So you love him, huh?" Xenovia said, lowering her head, her voice quiet. "Irina, you're more than my partner and friend, you're like a sister to me. Why do you want to force me? Why do you want to take my Yu?"

Because of her troublesome personality, Xenovia had always struggled to make friends. Whenever she teamed up with Church members for missions, they would always request a change of partners afterward. She felt that everyone hated her and that no one could understand her. That was until she met Irina.

Irina was energetic and understanding. She never disliked Xenovia; instead, she supported her countless times and stayed by her side for years. Their bond was incredibly strong, surpassing even that of siblings, which made it easy to imagine the conflict Xenovia felt now that Irina was determined to take her man from her.

"I should be the one saying that, Xenovia. I like Darling, I love him. Even though I only met him for a short time, it was such a happy and delightful experience. I feel like I can't live without him anymore. He's like my oxygen, my food, even my faith! I can't imagine a world without Darling!" Irina shook her head, pressing both hands against her chest. Her eyes glowed with a deep, almost tangible obsession, so intense it seemed a pink aura surrounded her. She looked at Xenovia with a soft, pleading expression and said, "Xenovia, please… don't take him from me. I'll do anything if you give up on him."

"Impossible! I can't live without Yu either! I'd rather die than give up on him!" Xenovia said, shaking her head firmly, completely unmoved by Irina's plea.

"That leaves only one solution." Removing the ribbon that held her hair, which transformed into a katana, Irina pointed the Excalibur Mimic at Xenovia and said, "Let our swords decide the outcome!"

"Very well. In this world, strength is the one unchanging truth. Let's settle it that way," Xenovia said, pulling her Excalibur Destruction from the cloth wrapped around it. Her voice was firm and serious. "I believe you don't want to go too far either, right?"

"Yes. We'll fight, and the loser will forever leave Yusuke," Irina nodded faintly. She loved Yusuke deeply and was obsessed with him, but that did not mean she could bring herself to kill her closest friend. She had not been around Yusuke long enough to go completely crazy, nor was she desperate enough to cross that line.

"Very well," Xenovia replied with a nod.

"Let's go somewhere else. Darling would be angry if we destroyed this house," Irina said, glancing around at the house.

The two women didn't waste any more time. They immediately left and traveled to the outskirts of town, to a desolate and remote area.

"Let's end this quickly. Yu will only be mine!"

Standing a few meters apart, Xenovia gripped her sword with both hands. The moment she spoke, she surged forward with incredible speed, lifting her sword high before bringing it down.

Irina was not Kiba, and she was not irrational enough to blindly face Excalibur Destruction. With a swift motion, she sidestepped the attack, and at the same time, her katana transformed into a long, flexible sword.

Clang!

Her sword moved like a fast snake, stabbing at Xenovia's ribs, but the latter had already anticipated it. She calmly blocked the strike with her sword, then slashed violently into the empty air.

BOOM!

The attack created a powerful impact, causing an explosion that pushed Irina back and stirred dust and debris everywhere.

Irina flipped and tumbled through the air several times before landing at a safe distance. Her sword then transformed into a long whip, and she lashed out at Xenovia, who was just emerging from the cloud of dust.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Xenovia blocked the multiple whip attacks and continued rushing forward unwaveringly. The two of them had fought countless times before, so they both knew each other's styles. Xenovia relied on brute strength to crush any obstacle, while Irina had a lighter, more exquisite style, using the Excalibur Mimic with precision and grace.

"Hyahahaha! Guess who's back?"

"Back again!"

"Freed is back!"

"Hyahahaha! Busty tomboy, I am back!"

Suddenly, a loud, obnoxious, and irritating laugh interrupted the fight. Freed came rushing in at incredible speed, leaping from a tree and slashing down at Xenovia.

...

Happy New Year. May your New Year's resolution survive longer than it did last year.

New Year's question: What do you think about this work?

Meh.

Good.

Or trash.

...

The bright light in the room illuminated the women's glistening skin, sweat tracing along their curves, and making their already intoxicating figures even more alluring.

Pla! Pla! Pla!

"Haahn! Haahn!" The sharp rhythm of flesh meeting flesh mixed with rough panting, wet slurps, and breathless moans, forming a wild, erotic symphony that filled the air.

In a doggy style position, Akeno pressed her head against the bed, clutching the sheets as her body trembled with every powerful thrust Yusuke delivered from behind. Each movement sent shockwaves through her entire being, leaving her mind completely obliterated by the overwhelming pleasure, while her love juices poured out endlessly like a literal waterfall.

Anyone watching would probably worry she might die of dehydration with how much she was cumming.

"Yusuke, that's not fair! Don't focus on just them, kiss me!"

Clinging to Yusuke from behind, Sona wrapped her arms around his back, her lips and teeth wandering across his face, neck, shoulders, and back as she kissed, sucked, and nibbled on his skin. Her other hand slipped between her thighs, fingers working feverishly.

Her sultry voice and quick, breathless moans could make even the most impotent man lose control and pin her down right there... well, anyone except Issei.

Lying on either side of Akeno were Raynare and Kalawarna. Yusuke's fingers were buried deep inside their wet folds, skillfully working them while his thumbs pressed against their tight backdoors. Both women trembled like leaves, barely conscious from the overwhelming waves of pleasure.

As yanderes, even the slightest act of affection from their beloved was enough to send them into a mind-numbing orgasm. Whether Yusuke fingered, kissed, or fucked them, the intensity would shatter their minds every time. Each time he fuck them, they would pass out easily from the sheer pleasure, though lately they had started to develop a bit of resistance.

On the other side of the room, Murayama and Tsubaki lay on opposite sides of the bed, practicing their water jutsu while watching the scene unfold.

Finally, Aika was floating in the air, bound tightly in a turtle position. A mask covered her eyes, and a shocker muffled her moans. Her face burned red, hot steam puffing from her nose, while drool slid from her lips down to her chin. Below, two large dildos moved rhythmically in and out of her holes under Yusuke's telekinetic control.

As a complete masochist, she was probably the one enjoying herself the most right now.

When Yusuke succumbed to Akeno's naked apron and started banging her right there, the other girls' Yandere senses went off instantly. They rushed in like predators scenting blood, and things spiraled out of control fast. In no time, everyone had moved back to the highest floor, aka the orgy floor, where they started fucking, leaving poor Asia all by herself.

"Sure, but my hands are busy; you'll have to do it yourself," Yusuke said without turning back. The moment he finished speaking, Sona pulled his face from above, lowered her head, and pressed her lips to his. Her tongue slid inside, and a sensuous, lustful dance began between their tongues.

Yusuke maintained the same position for a while before pulling his cock from Akeno, who immediately fell powerlessly. He then thrust into Raynare and began pounding her harder. Using his telekinesis, he lifted Kalawarna and placed her on top of Raynare, while bringing Tsubaki and Murayama to each side, fingering both of them while alternating between Kalawarna's and Raynare's pussies, thrusting into each of them for a while.

"Haahn! Ahnn! Master, if Kokabiel is really the main culprit, what should we do?" Kalawarna panted, feeling his cock slide out of her. She instinctively clenched her pussy in a futile attempt to hold him inside.

After Akeno returned to tell everyone what had happened in the OCR when Xenovia and Irina arrived, the group of crazed Yanderes gathered to discuss how to handle the situation without bothering Yusuke. When he came back, he informed them about his meeting with Xenovia and Irina and relayed everything they had told him.

They had originally wanted to get rid of all problems without making him work so hard and let him enjoy his peace, but since Yusuke was already aware of what was happening, they no longer felt the need to hide it from him.

"We'll wait and see how the church people handle him. It's not like they'd only send two girls to deal with a leader of the Fallen Angels, right? They're not dumb enough to send these two to their deaths and hand over two Excaliburs to him," Yusuke said calmly, pounding into Raynare before pulling out and driving into Kalawarna once again.

"Yes… Hahhn! Probably the church… Ahn! Haahn! Should react faster and send someone to support them," Tsubaki moaned, her hands gripping the bed sheets so hard it felt like she might tear them apart. Her knees shook violently, as if they were about to give out beneath her.

"I don't think so," Sona said at that moment. "The duo seemed too confident earlier, like they had some secret weapon. Additionally, it's unlikely the church would send any powerful person to Kuoh Town without informing us first, because that would mean they're trespassing on our territory, and we could interpret that as an act of war."

Xenovia and Irina had to get Rias's permission before operating in this town, which their higher-ups had instructed them to do, showing just how cautious the church was.

There's also the possibility that both girls were simply too ignorant of Kokabiel's power and thought they could defeat him on their own. After all, anyone with a proper brain wouldn't be so rude to Rias when asking for her assistance like Xenovia was, even though she knew her brother was the strongest Maou.

"Stupid politics, they make everything slow and complicated," Yusuke muttered in annoyance as he came inside Kalawarna.

"Ahnn! Yusuke-sama's hot stuff is inside me! Yes! Ahnnn!" Kalawarna cried out in delight before sliding down from the top of Raynare. Yusuke caught her with his telekinesis before she could fall on Murayama and gently placed her on the other side of the bed.

She lay on her back, her face twisted in pure ecstasy, eyes rolled up, legs spread wide as thick white fluids slid down. Sweat dripped from every inch of her skin, making her breasts, stomach, and thighs glisten with a shiny, glossy sheen.

"Yusuke, I want your attention too," Sona said with a pout, sliding her tongue into his ear. She pulled back and added, "I've noticed that recently you've been giving more attention to Akeno than any of us. Is it because of what happened in Hokkaido?"

"I've been favoring her more? How did I not notice that?" Yusuke said, genuinely surprised by her words. Did he really do that?

"Hmm! According to my statistics, you've spent 2.5% more time with Akeno than any of us," Sona replied immediately. She had been tracking all of Yusuke's activities and knew exactly how much time he spent with each of his women, how many times he kissed them, flirted with them, fucked them, and even how many loads he shot each day.

Yes, she was stalking him, tracking his daily activities, but isn't that the most basic feature of a Yandere?

The only thing she wasn't doing was trying to control him.

"2.5%? That's it?" Yusuke chuckled. He felt she was overreacting to such a tiny difference in time.

"2.5% is a big deal. Yusuke's precious time is invaluable. Even a single second of your time is worth more than the rarest treasure! Any of us would do anything to spend even one more second with you," Sona whispered in his ear, tightening her hold with a voice dripping with obsession and love, making Yusuke's cock twitch with delight.

Damn! He really loved them freaky!

"Right, girls?" Sona asked, turning to the others.

"Yes! I'll kill anyone to get more time with Yusuke!" Tsubaki replied instantly.

"Me too! Ahnnna! Yes! So good! Fuck! Yes, master! Harder, please! Harder! Ahhn!" Raynare agreed, her moans making her enthusiasm unmistakable.

"I'll even kill my parents to get one more minute each day with Yu-kun!" Murayama said in a chilling, sickly tone. She sounded almost breezy, as if she were commenting on the weather, which made it feel like there was no burden or hesitation at all about killing her own parents.

Pa!

"Don't say that again," Yusuke said, his face twitching. He raised his hand and slapped her ass a little harder than usual. He knew she was freaking serious when she said it. After all, she had killed them in the previous timeline.

"Ahn! Sorry, Yu-kun!" Murayama's ass twitched as she apologized, muffling a moan. Since when had she started enjoying pain? Was she really going to turn into someone like that crazy woman, Aika?

"I'll be more mindful next time," he said after a moment's thought. One of the secrets to maintaining harmony in his Yandere harem was never favoring one woman over the others, or it would only lead to unnecessary trouble.

He thrust his hips a few times, feeling Raynare's tight folds wriggling around his cock, massaging it like countless tongues licking him all at once, before spilling his load deep inside.

"It's your turn now." Just as he arranged Tsubaki, Murayama, and Sona on top of each other in a triple pussy sandwich, his phone started ringing. "Who's calling at this time?"

"Hyaah~! Finally, babe's cock is inside me."

With an annoyed expression, Yusuke brought his phone to his hand from the other side of the room as he slid his cock inside Tsubaki. He looked at who was calling and saw 'The twin-tails airhead' on the screen. Accepting the call, he said, "Hello?"

A strained, weak voice came from the other side. "Darling… please… help… cough! Cough!"

...

"Irina, Xenovia!" When Yusuke arrived and saw the scene before him, his eyes widened, and he rushed forward.

Irina was leaning weakly against a tree, her body covered in gruesome cuts, fresh blood still coating her skin. Xenovia, on the other hand, was in even worse shape. She lay on the ground in a pool of her own blood, with several holes torn through her stomach, shoulder, and thighs, still gushing uncontrollably.

"Darling… help… her… please," Irina whispered, glancing at him with a faint, weak smile.

Yusuke didn't speak. He rushed to Xenovia's side as green light shone from both his hands, activating Healing Touch. Her wounds began to close slowly, and her pale, pained expression improved noticeably.

A few minutes later, all her wounds had vanished. Yusuke leaned closer, listening to her breathing and heartbeat. Once he sensed they had stabilized, he rushed over to Irina and began healing her as well. "What happened? Who did this?!"

"Freed! He suddenly appeared… he… he was much stronger than before," Irina said, her eyes fixed on Yusuke's face. Her heart raced, and she couldn't resist the urge to touch him. Her bloodied hand moved up and cupped his face. "Xenovia and I worked together to hold him off, but suddenly a giant spear of light struck us."

"Xenovia… to protect me, she… she…" Irina's eyes misted over as tears began sliding down her face.

"So that's what happened. Don't worry, with me here, everything will be fine." Yusuke lifted Irina onto his back, then walked over and carried Xenovia in a princess carry, leaving the scene.

From what she said, it seemed that Freed had ambushed them, and this time he was wielding two Excaliburs.

He fought very fiercely, and the two of them had to work together to hold him off. However, a powerful spear of light shot from afar, targeting Irina. Xenovia noticed it first and threw herself in front of it, blocking the attack for Irina, which left her with severe injuries.

After that, Freed continued his assault, causing the rest of their wounds.

...

In the Occult Research Club, only Rias sat at her desk. With Akeno staying at Yusuke's place, Kiba gone, and Koneko out handling her Devil work, she was the only one left in the room.

"Sorry for making you follow my selfish requests, Onee-sama," Rias said to the small hologram on her desk. "Once I succeed, I'll definitely do anything to repay you."

"Rias, you don't have to thank me. As your onee-san, I'm more than happy to help," Grayfia said with a small smile at Rias's apologetic tone. She was wearing a white shirt and dolphin shorts, lying on the sofa as she spoke. "Although I don't completely agree with your plan, I'll still do my best to support you."

When Grayfia is out of her maid mode, she acts much more casually around others. Right now, she was clearly not in that mode. In truth, she had been in her maid mode less and less lately, which made it clear she was busy with something else.

"Though it would be a problem if Sirzechs or mother-in-law and father-in-law found out," she said, tapping her chin. "I'll help you handle them when the time comes."

"Thank you again, Onee-sama," Rias said with a genuine grin. She was both excited and nervous about her plan. Suddenly, she asked, "If Kokabiel really turns out to be involved in the matter of the Holy Swords, what should I do?"

"Do I have to inform Onii-sama?" she asked seriously. Her plan was about to be executed soon, and she didn't want some stupid fallen angel getting in the way.

"No, we can use this chance to gauge Yusuke's true strength. Back then, I already sensed that he had power close to, if not already at, the Ultimate Class. He can handle Kokabiel on his own," Grayfia said, shaking her head with confidence. "Hopefully Kokabiel gives him a bit of trouble, so we can understand if we need to adjust our plans."

"Onee-sama is indeed insightful! Once I'm together with Yusuke, we'll both ask for your blessing!" Rias said, her eyes full of admiration. As expected of her sister-in-law, known as the strongest Queen, the woman who managed her brother's entire peerage and political affairs, she was incredibly wise.

"Well, it's getting late, I'm going to bed. Good night," Grayfia yawned. She bid farewell and ended the call. As soon as Rias's hologram faded, Grayfia's gentle, smiling expression darkened.

Getting Yusuke for herself, hmph, that little girl must be dreaming! The only one who will get Yusuke is her, and only her!

Grayfia stood up and paced around her room, lost in deep thought. While she had been pretending to help Rias, she was actually making her own plans. Her plan was already close to completion, and she had gathered all the necessary items. Fortunately, her husband Sirzechs's influence and connections extended even to other mythologies, allowing her to collect everything relatively easily.

'Sirzechs... Millicas...' Thinking of Sirzechs, her mind immediately turned to her son as well. She felt both guilt and disgust at the same time. She felt guilty for having ignored her son recently, but at the same time, she was deeply disgusted by him. Being reminded that her son was a child born between her and another man filled her with revulsion. That child was a glaring proof that she was no longer pure.

'Once I get Yusuke, we will hide in a faraway place and live there together forever, away from the Gremory family, Devils, and any form of conflict, just the two of us!' Grayfia opened her palm, and a small magic circle appeared, displaying Yusuke's image. She stared at it for a long moment before muttering, "It seems I need to make a trip to Kuoh Town, in case something unexpected happens."

"Perhaps Yusuke will end up being defeated by Kokabiel. If that happens I can appear, take him while he is severely injured, and that will reduce many of the unnecessary steps." Grayfia smiled. Under the dim light her red eyes and bright red lips made her face look both beautiful and creepy at the same time.

...

[Xenovia Quarta's submission + 1!]

[Irina Shidou's submission + 1!]

Under the dark night, Yusuke's figure flashed as he jumped from one rooftop to another, running back to his house. He could have teleported, but he chose not to, thinking about how to deal with the two of them when they confronted his women.

At the same time, he took the opportunity to raise some of their submission values. Seeing the system's notifications, Yusuke didn't need to use his Haki to know that Xenovia had awakened.

'I feel so safe, I don't want to move...'

Lying in his arms, Xenovia didn't want to move at all. She stayed perfectly still with her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. This absolute sense of security made every cell in her body relax, immersing her in an unprecedented feeling of satisfaction.

It would have been perfect if it weren't for Irina, who was on his back, drooling at his neck while subtly kissing and licking him. 'I'll deal with her later,' Xenovia thought. She didn't want to ruin this moment and tried to ignore her for now. Once they finished the duel that had been interrupted by that bastard Freed, she would have Yusuke all to herself.

Adjusting her position, she pressed her face against his chest to feel his strong body more fully and take in his intoxicating scent.

'I'll let this slide for now, since she risked her life to save me.' Not surprisingly, Irina was thinking the same as Xenovia. She felt jealous of Xenovia being held in such an intimate position, but considering that Xenovia had just taken a fatal attack for her, she held back her jealousy for the moment and decided to settle the matter later.

Ten minutes later, Yusuke reached his place. Unfortunately, he hadn't managed to think of any solution to deal with the two of them in such a short time. In the end, he decided to let it be. With him around, they wouldn't be able to do anything extreme anyway.

In fact, instead of worrying about his women, he should be worrying about Irina and Xenovia, considering how strong his women had become over the past few months.

"Senpai!" As he reached the door, it suddenly opened, revealing the cute white-haired Nekoshou. Her face was expressionless, her eyes cold. She asked in a flat tone, "Why did you bring these two? And why are they being so close to you?"

"Koneko-chan? How did you know I had returned?" Yusuke ignored her dark expression and gently patted her head, ruffling her short hair.

"Senpai's scent is very easy to pick up," Koneko said, squinting her eyes in comfort. She pointed at her nose as she spoke in her quiet, kuudere tone.

'Picking up my scent? You're a cat, not a dog!' Yusuke shook his head and walked past her. At the same time, he felt the two bodies clinging to him shift, as if they were struggling to resist snapping after seeing his 'intimate' actions with Koneko.

"Yusuke!" Stepping inside, he saw everyone was present, including Rias. She stood and greeted him with her warm, beautiful smile. She was acting completely like her usual cheerful self, and she didn't even show any dislike or discomfort at seeing Yusuke so close to other women.

Just like now, despite seeing him holding two women so closely, she didn't even so much as glare at them like she used to.

"Rias, you are here too," Yusuke said, nodding at her with a light smile that sent her into a daze for three full seconds. He had been the one to call Rias and Koneko before leaving, to talk about how to handle Kokabiel.

"So these two are the church girls," Murayama said, glancing first at the two girls and then at Asia, who sat in the far corner of the room, trying to hide her presence.

Even after months, Asia still couldn't get close to anyone here. She also refused the idea of moving out of the house.

"Yu-sama! You left earlier without giving me enough love, give me a kiss!" Aika shouted. While everyone else watched the 'unconscious' duo, she leapt at Yusuke, ignoring the two girls, and pressed her lips firmly against his.

'Is she doing this on purpose?' Yusuke thought, letting her kiss him. Just then, a cold, murderous aura suddenly flared from the two girls who had been supposed to be unconscious. They let go of Yusuke instantly and stood up.

"What do you think you are doing? Devil bitch!" Xenovia roughly shoved Aika away and roared in fury. Her killing intent was so dense it seemed to hang in the air around her. She instinctively reached for her sword, only to remember it wasn't with her.

Earlier, Yusuke had stored the Excalibur Destruction in his inventory while picking both of them up.

"Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable! How dare you kiss my darling? His first kiss is gone! I will kill you, Devil slut!" Irina, on the other hand, clenched the Excalibur Mimic as she stared at Aika with a look of pure hatred and fury.

The pure and flawless, sacred Yusuke had actually been defiled by a Devil bitch! She would kill anyone who dared lay a hand on her darling.

At that moment, Irina's jealousy and fury were so intense her chest ached, making it almost hard to breathe.

Her fingernails dug deep into her palms, but the pain did nothing to quell the rage burning inside her.

She should have reacted much earlier. How could she have let some random slut kiss him?

The airhead believed that Yusuke was an innocent virgin who had never been with a single woman in his life. He must have been waiting for her, keeping himself pure, just as she had.

An uncontrollable mix of sadness and anger choked her chest, stinging her eyes but refusing to let a single tear fall.

"Die!" Her vision narrowed until Aika was the only thing in it. She exploded forward with the strongest, fastest surge of speed she had ever managed and slashed at Aika with her katana.

Bang!

However, the slash that should have reduced this Devil girl to ashes with her holy sword did not happen. Instead, an excruciating pain tore through Irina. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw a small, delicate hand buried in her stomach. Her legs wobbled, and she collapsed to the ground.

Clang!

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" The sword slipped from her grip as Irina clutched her stomach, coughing violently. Pressing her head against the ground, she began vomiting whatever remained inside her.

"Irina! Bitch, I will kill you!" Xenovia's eyes widened. Fury flaring, she reached into the void and summoned a massive broadsword with a blue blade and a golden edge, its hilt wrapped in countless chains. She ripped it free and hauled it toward her, the chains snapping as she pulled.

"The Holy Sword, Durandal!" Sona fixed her glasses and exclaimed in surprise. She could not believe that this tomboy had become the current wielder of Durandal.

Holding the Holy Sword, Durandal, Xenovia's aura surged immensely. She usually avoided using this sword because she couldn't control it fully. When Freed attacked them, she hadn't used it either, and by the time she wanted to, she had been far too weak.

But right now, fueled by fury and hatred, she managed to hold the sword without any resistance. Gripping it tightly with both hands, a gust of wind burst from Xenovia as she charged at Aika, intent on cleaving her in two.

Clang!

Just as she swung, a black-purple sword flashed out of nowhere, blocking her path. The owner of the sword spoke sharply, "Cunt, back off! I won't let you destroy Yu-kun's house!"

...

Murayama's Sacred Gear, Amethyst Night, has the main ability of boosting both strength and speed.

As a Knight, her speed was already the fastest among Sona's peerage, and when she activated her Sacred Gear, it increased even further, making her the second fastest after Yusuke and surpassing Kiba. Her strength also grew, making her stronger than all the Rooks, including Koneko, if the latter wasn't using Touki.

This wasn't just because of her Sacred Gear's boost, but also thanks to Yusuke's Master's Blessing, which increased her stats by a full 50%.

Right now, it wasn't only Murayama who was powerful. Aika, who had never encountered supernaturals before meeting Yusuke, had become very strong as well, far surpassing Irina and Xenovia thanks to Yusuke's skills, the various boosts, and her training over the past few months.

"Who are you?" Xenovia's eyes flashed with shock amid her burning fury. She couldn't believe someone had actually blocked her Durandal!

Murayama smiled grimly at the woman causing a commotion in her and Yusuke's home. Stepping forward, she pushed her back and said, "I'm Murayama, Yusuke's first woman, the one who took his virginity."

[How sad... she doesn't even know your first woman was that flat-chested ego balloon who ghosted you for a month.] The system snickered in his mind. There was nothing she enjoyed more than watching these Yanderes tear each other apart.

'Why are you bringing up those disgusting memories?' Yusuke scowled inwardly, feeling filthy just remembering that woman from his past life.

"!!!" It was as if her mind had become Hiroshima, a nuclear blast tearing through her thoughts and leaving nothing but chaos behind. Her vision went completely dark, her body trembled violently, and she almost collapsed. Yu! Her Yu! He had slept with another woman! He wasn't pure anymore! Why? Why hadn't he waited for her? Why did he have to sleep with some random woman?!

Even though Yusuke didn't know she existed, Xenovia still felt betrayed. This was supposed to be their fated encounter, their destined love. Once she defeated her rival Irina, she should have been able to claim Yusuke for herself. But now it all felt like a lie.

Yusuke, her Yu, already had a woman, and from the looks of it, more than one. That slut had even claimed to be his first woman!

No. She can't blame Yusuke. He did nothing wrong. It must be these sluts who deceived him and lied to him. Maybe they even forced him. The Yu that she knew is a gentle and caring person. They must have done something to make him fall for their tricks.

With that justification in mind, Xenovia's eyes widened, thin red veins spidering across them. She clenched her sword so hard her knuckles cracked, "AGH!!!!! I will kill you! I will kill you all! How dare you defile my Yu, my husband!"

"Here we go again, another one in her delusional phase," Murayama chuckled disdainfully. She could see her former self in this busty tomboy, shouting 'My Yu-kun' at every turn. Why couldn't these women be smart like Tsubaki and Sona and just accept the reality that Yusuke is the one who owns them, not the other way around?

"We just need to beat some sense into them. These stupid bitches don't know that Yu-sama doesn't like being called that," Aika said. She sidestepped and kicked Irina, who had just stood up, trying to attack her furiously.

Irina reacted just like Xenovia. Fueled by fury, she ignored the pain and charged at Aika, trying to kill her. Unfortunately for her, Aika's Observation Haki was at level 3. She could easily predict every attack and slam the shit out of Irina.

Aika felt she was being very merciful by not even using her Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. Well... the main reason she wasn't using it was that she didn't want to damage the house.

Swoosh!

Murayama moved nimbly in a zigzagging motion, spinning around Xenovia. When she stopped, multiple wounds covered Xenovia's body, blood gushing from the cuts before she blacked out and collapsed.

"Yu-kun, you don't have to worry about these two. That masochist and I will teach them." Murayama said to Yusuke with a wide, creepy smile.

"Let's take them to the basement and give them a tough education," she told Aika, who had finished off Irina, speaking impatiently.

"Don't order me around, broken faucet!" Aika grabbed Irina by the collar, dragging her across the floor. She glared at Murayama, speaking in a disgusted tone.

"Hmph! I won't bother bickering with you!" Murayama snorted disdainfully. She held Xenovia on her shoulders and walked toward the elevator, followed by Aika dragging Irina across the floor. As she stepped into the elevator, she suddenly thought of something and said, "Asia-san, can you please lend us a hand and heal them?"

Asia's body stiffened at being called out so suddenly. At first, she thought she had been caught red-handed stealing glances at Yusuke. Upon hearing Murayama's request, she answered timidly and followed them, "Y-yes!"

The poor girl had no idea that most people here possessed Observation Haki and had long since noticed her little actions.

Yusuke didn't budge as he watched the scene. He was actually a bit surprised. "Is it okay to leave these two to them?" He was used to handling all Yanderes on his own, so it felt strange that without him intervening, the Yanderes were subdued so effortlessly.

"Let them be. They need a reality check before we can talk to them," Tsubaki stepped over. She held his hand, giving it a light squeeze. Kissing his cheek, she whispered, "You don't have to shoulder everything on your own. We are here for you, Yusuke."

She had promised to help him and support him in everything, and she intended to keep that promise for her entire life. If Murayama and Aika hadn't made a move, it would have fallen to her or Sona, or perhaps Raynare and Kalawarna.

"..." Rias watched everything with distant eyes. Subconsciously, her fists clenched tightly. She had never expected that the two humans who had been so weak not long ago that they couldn't even resist a simple hypnosis spell had grown this strong.

If these two were this strong, then what did that make Akeno, Sona, and the others?!

Even Koneko had grown stronger, while she remained the same.

'I can't allow myself to fall behind! I need to grow stronger! Yusuke! I won't let anyone take him from me!!!' Rias gritted her teeth, her azure eyes blazing with determination.

"Kokabiel has started making moves. It's clear he's planning something in this town," Yusuke said, sitting on the sofa. Almost immediately, Koneko appeared in a flash on his lap. He habitually patted her head as she spoke, "Although I don't know why Freed didn't take the Holy Swords from the church duo, we need to prepare for the worst."

When Yusuke arrived, he found the two swords still in the hands of Xenovia and Irina, and there was no sign of Freed or Kokabiel. It was strange, since according to Xenovia, their main target should have been the Holy Swords. They should have attacked first to steal the Excalibur Mimic and Destruction.

They hadn't even finished off the two girls.

So was this really about the Holy Swords, or was it something else?

"Regardless of his motive, since he came to this town, it's entirely justifiable for us to kill him," Sona said calmly. She turned to the other Yanderes and asked, "If we work together, we can do it, right girls?"

They had been training diligently over this past period to master their new skills, and they felt more confident in their own strength.

"Yes, even if it's Kokabiel-sama, if he so much as annoys Yusuke-sama, I'll kill him and rip his wings off," Raynare said, nodding seriously. She used to worship the leaders of the fallen angels, but now she was ready to kill them all if it meant pleasing Yusuke.

"The problem is how to make him show up. This bastard, despite his strength, has been hiding all this while," Tsubaki said.

"Yes, if only we could understand his goal," Kalawarna added.

"Isn't it easy? We already have two baits with us," Sona smiled, her smile somewhat ominous. "Since Kokabiel made a move because of them, it is entirely possible that he would expose himself once more because of them as well."

"You mean use the church girls as bait?" Rias narrowed her eyes and asked. She didn't want to be left out of the conversation; after all, this town was her territory.

"Yes. If this method fails, we can only split up and search for him separately," Sona said.

...

Bang!

"Ahh!" Xenovia's figure was sent flying like a rocket, crashing against the thick wall. She slid down it and hit the ground, blood spraying from her mouth as the Holy Sword Durandal slipped from her grip.

"Weak, too weak, yet so arrogant!" Aika sneered at her, pink fire swirling around her. It had been an hour since she and Murayama started educating these two girls, and by now, they had already switched opponents multiple times.

"Damn it! Damn it! How could this be!" Xenovia tried to stand but collapsed to her knees. Using Durandal for support, she glared at Aika, her eyes blazing with hatred and fury.

"Please don't move," Asia said as she ran to her, her voice soft and timid while she used Twilight Healing to mend her injuries.

"...Thank you," Xenovia said, glancing at Asia with a complex expression. As a follower of the church, she knew about Asia's past and had once looked down on her, but now, after being healed by her multiple times, she felt genuinely grateful.

"Hmm," Asia let out a soft hum, lowering her head. No one noticed the hidden gleam flashing in her eyes. She had been keeping up this act for so long just to lower everyone's guard. No one knew she possessed the Incinerate Anthem.

Only by making sure no one saw her as a threat could she find a chance to steal Yusuke.

"Kyaah!" With another cry, the bloodied Irina was sent flying by Murayama, rolling on the ground and stopping right next to Asia's foot. The latter quickly began healing her, asking with concern, "Are you okay?"

"Yes... Sorry for troubling you, Asia-san," Irina said with a weak smile. Her and Xenovia's Church battle suits, tight black outfits, were utterly shredded and damaged. By now, both of them were barely covering their bodies.

"How stubborn. You still haven't learned your lesson?" Murayama strode toward them, staring arrogantly. "All of us are Yu-kun's women, not the other way around. Anyone who tries to hurt him or monopolize him will be dealt with by us first!"

"Darling is mine! He can only be mine!" Irina grew agitated again. Healed, she stood up and glared at Murayama.

"Bullshit! We met Yu-sama much earlier than you two, stupid cunts! Where did you even get the audacity to say something ridiculous like that?!" Aika snarled at her; she and Murayama were clearly Yusuke's first women!

Suddenly, Xenovia stepped forward, gripping Irina's shoulder and speaking gravely, "Irina, stop!"

...

"What are you doing?" Irina slapped Xenovia's hand and glared at her. "If you are giving up on Darling, that's good. But I won't give up, I never will."

"That's not it. I won't ever give up on Yu either, not even to you, but right now it's clear we can't defeat these two. Besides, there are other women who might be even stronger than they are." Xenovia shook her head, then glared at Murayama and Aika as she spoke in a grave tone.

To think that the man she loved and adored would be surrounded by so many powerful women, but... wasn't that even more romantic? Just like in those stories where, after overcoming every obstacle, the heroine finally ends up with the one she loves and lives happily.

This must be a challenge from God, a test to prove she was worthy of her Yu!

"Oh, at least one of them has a functioning brain," Murayama snickered. She added, "And here I thought maybe you two also had some hidden fetish and enjoyed being abused like a certain someone."

"Fuck you, piss sprinkler!" Aika roared at her without hesitation. She turned to the duo and said, "Good, you know your place. Until you can defeat any of us, you two are not allowed to run wild in front of Yu-sama. Otherwise, we won't be merciful next time."

Giving the two one last glance, Aika and Murayama turned around and left the basement.

"Hmm... Irina-san, Xenovia-san, I advise you both to take their words seriously. The other women are very scary," Asia said once Aika and Murayama were gone. She fidgeted as she spoke, her hands clenched together, and a very pitiful expression on her face.

"Asia Argento, thank you for your advice," Irina walked over and placed her hand on her shoulder. Her pale face carried a forced smile. Twilight Healing could heal wounds, but it could not restore stamina or ease fatigue.

What Xenovia said earlier resonated with her, so she decided that she would, for now, stop and try harder again soon. With the help of God and the power of love, she felt sure that she would one day get her Darling!

"You are also a follower of God," Xenovia put away the Durandal. In this house full of enemies, it seemed that only Asia could be considered her ally. "Can you tell us more about them, and also about Yu?"

...

When Asia, followed by Xenovia and Irina, stepped out of the elevator, they saw Yusuke lying on the sofa with his head resting on Akeno's thighs and his legs draped over Raynare's. Kalawarna was feeding him, while the other girls sat around, discussing what they should do next.

Thud!

The scene made the blood of both girls boil! Instinctively, they both stomped the ground at the same time, ready to rush forward and pull Yusuke away from their dirty hands. But remembering the utter defeat they had just suffered, they stopped themselves and exchanged a glance.

"Since you both have calmed down, please have a seat. We would like to discuss how to deal with Kokabiel with you," Sona said, standing up with a smile.

The two women glanced at each other before silently sitting next to each other, opposite Yusuke. It took an extreme amount of willpower for them to restrain themselves, given that they weren't the type to do so. If it weren't for the multiple beatings they had suffered, it would have been impossible for them to sit there and watch their destined man being embraced by so many women.

"Aika and Murayama are sometimes impulsive, so please don't mind them." He moved from his comfortable position and sat down, smiling apologetically at Xenovia and Irina.

Having an untamed yandere watching him spend time with his women must have been very painful for her and bothersome for him as well. That's why he didn't like Rias and Koneko staying longer than necessary at his place. However, if used correctly, it was also very effective at lowering their bottom line.

He randomly picked up two chocolate bars from the table and handed them to them, speaking with concern. "Are you two okay? They didn't hurt you, right?"

Anyone with a functioning brain would see through his fake concern. He had clearly watched them being trashed without uttering a single word, and now that it was over, he was actually showing concern. A normal person would have told him to shove that concern up his ass, but these two weren't normal.

"No!" Xenovia became flustered at his gentle tone and shook her head frantically as she took the chocolate bar from him. "It's okay, I'm completely fine, see?" She flexed her arms and shoulders to show him she was perfectly fine.

Having been healed by Asia, who had also given them spare clothes to change into, they were perfectly fine aside from feeling somewhat tired.

'Yu's first gift! I will keep it with me forever! I have to ask the church to cast some preservation magic to keep this chocolate from going bad,' Xenovia thought frantically, holding the chocolate bar tightly, her joy and excitement completely unrestrained. She was already planning a secret place to store all of Yu's precious gifts, maybe even a shrine!

"Darling! I'm hurt! Those two Devil girls bullied me!" Irina, more cunning than Xenovia, leapt at Yusuke from across the table, hugging him while her voice trembled with tears.

"..." Aika and Murayama stared at her with deadpan expressions.

"It's alright now." Yusuke reached out and patted her back, thinking about how, despite the two of them getting reality slapped, not a single submission point had risen, 'Do I have to be the one crushing their bottom lines myself?'

This made sense. Even if all the women broke their bones and skinned them alive, Yanderes would not yield. If anything, it would only fuel their obsession. Even if they lowered their heads, it would be only temporary.

Perhaps the only one who could break their bottom line and make them submit would be him, the subject of their obsession. Or maybe the other girls could use him indirectly to force that submission.

[You can't possibly make a Yandere submit to another one using force. If you want these crazy bitches to help you, think about how Tsubaki helped you with Sona; that's the correct way.] The system spoke suddenly, and for the first time in a long while, she offered him genuinely useful advice.

'The way Tsubaki convinced Sona?' He pondered as his fingers brushed through her soft hair. 'Hmm... To get them to help me... this will need some careful planning.'

'What? Is this also possible? Damn it, why haven't I thought of it?!' Xenovia froze in place, staring at Irina with wide eyes. This was such a genius move! Shit! She had wasted such a precious opportunity to be hugged by her Yu!

At the same time, Irina squirmed in his arms, her face flushed red. She stared at Aika and Murayama and began making faces, moving her lips as she whispered, "Fuck you!"

"Bitch!" The duo's faces darkened as they muttered under their breath.

"Alright, we need to discuss something serious this time." Rias suddenly clapped her hands, interrupting them. Even though she knew that soon Yusuke would be hers, she couldn't tolerate this shit anymore!

"Get away from Senpai!" Koneko moved as well, grabbing Irina by the collar and throwing her onto the sofa next to Xenovia like a used sock. She couldn't stand it either. It was one thing seeing Akeno and the others clinging to Yusuke since they had come before her, but watching these two new church sluts buzzing around him was infuriating!

Sona waited until everyone calmed down, then a magic circle appeared in front of them, showing a map of the entire Kuoh Town. Over a dozen small dots glowed across it. She spoke, "According to our research and deduction, we suspect there is a thirty percent chance that either Freed or Kokabiel will be in these locations."

Their research was based on a mix of Observation Haki, their monitoring magic, and the fact that she had deployed her peerage members all over town as well.

"It seems that Kokabiel is scheming something dangerous, and the Holy Swords are not his true goal." While staring at the church duo, she added, "I want you two to cooperate with us, find him, and defeat him, perhaps even kill him if necessary."

"Working together with Devils to defeat a leader of the Fallen Angels?" Xenovia narrowed her eyes, disgust and distrust clear on her face. If she hadn't been blasted by one of Kokabiel's attacks earlier, she would have turned the offer down on the spot, but now she was forced to reconsider her options.

The mission from the church was to recover the Holy Sword. They were expected to succeed even if it cost their lives, and when they first came to this town, they were fully prepared to sacrifice themselves. But now that they had met Yusuke… would they really be willing to die so pointlessly?

"Alright!" The one who answered was Irina. She stood up and stretched her hand toward Yusuke, saying, "Darling, let's work together to defeat the evil fallen angels!"

The three fallen angels present, Kalawarna, Raynare, and even Akeno, narrowed their eyes at her. 'What the fuck did she mean by evil fallen angels?!'

'Fuck, I missed another opportunity to touch him!' Watching Yusuke shake hands with her, Xenovia grabbed her hair and screamed in her mind.

"What is your plan?" Irina turned to Sona and asked.

"It seems that Kokabiel and that stray priest Freed are targeting you. We want you to go out and draw them," Sona said solemnly, pushing up her glasses.

"What?" Xenovia flared up in anger, pointing at her. "Are you—" She was about to erupt when Sona interrupted.

"Yusuke will be going with you."

"Deal!" Irina and Xenovia answered immediately.

...

Rustling filled the air as two men ran across the mountainous area near the abandoned church. Ahead moved the blond, handsome swordsman, Kiba. Behind him trailed the harem king wannabe, Issei. He stared at Kiba's back and muttered in a lower voice, "This pretty boy is really fast!"

With the bonus of the Queen piece along with his training, Issei moved far faster than any normal human, but he still barely kept up with Kiba. From the look of it, it seemed that the latter was not even running at his fastest speed.

After meeting Riser, who healed Issei and Saji, the group of four split into two in order to search for Freed and take revenge on him. Kiba helped because he wanted to destroy the Holy Swords and kill Valper Galilei.

Right now, they were searching a random area where Freed might possibly be hiding.

"Hyoudou-san, let us split up and search this place quickly. If you find anything, just shout and I will come to you." Kiba suddenly stopped. He looked around, then turned to Issei. "We will regroup here in ten minutes."

"Is this alright? What if that Freed guy suddenly tries to sneak attack one of us?" Issei hesitated. He had watched enough tentacle hentai anime to know splitting the team for no good reason was a stupid idea.

Kiba, however, was deep in his emo phase. He was impatient and eager to find his targets and get rid of them, all for the sake of his fallen comrades. He cared about his master, Rias, and did not want to implicate her in anything, but when it came to others, he did not have many reservations. He frowned and said, "I am sure you can hold out for at least a few moments until I reinforce you."

'Is this handsome bastard saying that I am weak? Well, perhaps it is true, but still, how could he be so rude? Damn it! Handsome guys are the worst!' Issei's lips twitched. Even with his oppai-filled brain, he could understand the subtle meaning in Kiba's words.

Just then, from a tree branch, the familiar vulgar and irritating voice of that stray priest sounded, "Oya! Oya! Look who is here! Isn't this the gay swordsman and hmm...stupid nobody?"

"Freed Sellzen!" Kiba quickly took a combat stance, his eyes cold as he stared at him. "Where is Valper Galilei?!"

"What the fuck do you mean by 'stupid nobody'?" Issei felt offended. It was one thing for his allies to look down on him, but to have even his enemy not take him seriously at all was another. "I am Issei Hyoudou, the one who will become a harem king in the future!"

"The old man? He is preparing a great surprise for you all, nasty devils, kyahahaha!" Freed ignored Issei and answered Kiba's question with his irritating laughter, his tongue sticking out in a disgusting manner as he licked the sword in his left hand.

It was a rapier-like sword with a slender, sharply pointed two-edged blade and a swirl-like pattern on the grip.

In his right hand was a long Kris, its blade wide with a diamond-shaped gap running through it.

Both were Holy Swords. The rapier was Excalibur Nightmare, and the Kris was Excalibur Rapidly.

"After dealing with the two church dogs, it is time to finish disgusting devils like you off as well. It will not hurt, it will just make you wiggle in pain for a while." Licking his sword once more, he laughed and jumped toward Kiba. "So be grateful!"

Clang!

The four swords collided. Kiba gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with fury as if spitting fire. He roared, "I will kill you and destroy these swords!"

[Boost!]

"I will help you!" Issei summoned his Boosted Gear and shouted from behind. He did not have many methods of attack other than punching, which was not a good idea right now. His other option was Dragon Shot, but it took some time to charge.

While charging his Boosted Gear, he had already contacted Riser and Saji, asking them to come quickly to support them.

"Hyahahaha, your camaraderie is so moving, hyahahaha. Is this gay pretty boy your boyfriend?" Freed laughed loudly at Issei's words, blocking Kiba's attack while moving at an astonishing speed.

Kiba's speed matched his as he kept up, and they exchanged dozens of blows in a very short time, leaving countless afterimages in their wake.

"Sacred Gears sure are annoying. If I were in the past, I would have run into some trouble dealing with you, but this time I have super duper powerful swords! Take a look!" Freed suddenly jumped back several times, creating distance between him and Kiba. Laughing, he activated Excalibur Nightmare's ability.

Nightmare conjures up whatever the wielder can imagine, granting the user the ability to cast lifelike illusions and even control the dreams of others.

"There are many of me right now, hahahaha!"

"Are you scared now? Tell me you are scared, please!"

Tens of copies of Freed appeared at once, rushing toward Kiba from every direction.

Kiba's face turned serious as he tried to locate the real Freed.

Swoosh!

"Agh!" From behind him, a Freed's sword cut through his arm, spraying blood into the air. Kiba let out a painful cry and spun around, slashing his sword, but he was too late. Freed had already vanished.

"Hehehe, this is fun, it is so fun, playing with you like this. I will cut you slowly until your blood runs dry." Freed appeared a few meters away from Kiba and licked the blood on his sword, his expression twisting in delight.

[Boost!]

"Kiba, take this!" Suddenly, Issei, who had been charging his Boosted Gear, rushed toward Kiba and touched his shoulder. The jewel in the Boosted Gear glowed with a bright green light.

[Transfer!]

"Thanks!" Kiba felt his power multiply. He smiled at Issei and immediately thrust his sword toward the ground. In the next instant, countless swords erupted from the earth.

Clang! Clang!

"Whoa! Whoa! The nobody can pull some niche tricks!" The blades surrounded Freed, and he swung his swords wildly as he broke them apart. He did not forget to taunt Issei.

"Freed! Today I will kill you!" Kiba pulled two swords from the ground and rushed toward him with a firm expression.

[Boost!]

On the other hand, Issei retreated behind, charging his Boosted Gear once again while thinking bitterly, "Being a supporting character won't make me a harem king!"

...

"Darling! What is your favorite food?"

"Yu, do you have any favorite sex positions?"

"Darling, I want you to meet my parents later!"

"Yu, how many children should we have?"

Walking at night on the empty road, Xenovia and Irina each held Yusuke's arms, trying to learn as much as possible about him. Their questions were somewhat strange, especially Xenovia's, which were almost all related to sex and reproduction.

"I don't want to have children at this age," Yusuke answered with a weary smile. These two were somehow unique in their ways of thinking. One thing he noticed was that despite clinging to him, they hadn't bickered with each other yet. When one asked him a question, the other would wait until he answered before asking her own.

When he first met them, the two had immediately started bickering and nearly fought. They only stopped when he reprimanded them. It seemed they still remembered that. Additionally, it appeared they were using this opportunity to learn as much as possible from him, and bickering with each other would defeat that purpose.

[These two are airheads, but they are also strangely smart. What a weird combination,] the system commented.

'If they were really that dumb, they wouldn't have survived this long as church warriors,' Yusuke replied.

"Right, Yusuke is too young. Maybe we should wait until we are eighteen before having children. Let's have a boy and a girl!" Xenovia pressed her chest against his arms as she spoke excitedly.

"..." Yusuke remained silent. He wasn't going to answer that. He would definitely use No Plan B if he ended up banging Xenovia in the future. An eighteen-year-old was still considered a kid. How could a kid raise another kid?

'Wait! Why am I even considering kids at this stage?! We aren't even a thing yet!' His eyes widened suddenly. He and Xenovia weren't even a couple, yet they were already discussing their future. This girl had skipped all the stages. 'This girl is either a genuine airhead, or she is very cunning!'

"Darling, we shall marry when we are eighteen, alright? My parents will meet your parents, and we can discuss the wedding details!" Irina leaned close, kissing his cheek as she spoke excitedly. Her eyes sparkled with delight as she already imagined the scene of her wedding.

"That's impossible, I don't have parents," Yusuke shook his head, answering her calmly.

'She is doing the same thing. Are these two doing it on purpose?'

[Of course they are!] the system answered him.

"What?" Both girls exclaimed at the same time. Irina's happy face dimmed. She lowered her head and said, "I... I am sorry, darling! I didn't mean to."

"Don't mind it. I am already used to it, and frankly, I am happy the way I am." Yusuke wanted to pat her head, but both his hands were occupied, so he comforted her with a gentle smile.

He was actually glad he didn't have any parents in this world. Adapting to a new family would have been troublesome.

Although his mother was alive and had run away with some random man, to Yusuke, she had been long dead.

"So you are like me. I, too, don't have parents," Xenovia said with a smile. She was happy that they had something in common. This was their fate! It must be the Lord who arranged this for them to compensate for the loss of their parents!

"Is that so? It must have been hard growing up without parents," Yusuke said, somehow feeling a connection with her. When he glanced at her, their eyes met. Smiling, he added, "Still, I am happy that even without them, you've grown into a splendid woman, Xenovia."

As someone who had never known familial love in either of his lifetimes, the concept of family and parents was very vague to him. He didn't know what it felt like to grow up with parents or a parental figure in your life. To him, as long as there was enough money to support you, that was already enough.

Puff!

"Ehhh! I am splendid? That's... that's so sudden!" Xenovia suddenly blue-screened, her face turning bright red as smoke seemed to rise from her head.

[Xenovia Quarta's submission +1!]

[Xenovia Quarta's submission: 51 (Possessive)]

'I knew this would work in moments like this!' Yusuke thought, wanting to pat himself on the back upon seeing the notification.

"Darling, that's unfair!" Seeing the scene, Irina pouted and nudged his side with a wronged voice.

Yusuke's smile didn't fade. He had been anticipating this exact reaction from her. He leaned a little closer and whispered softly in her ear, "You are also a wonderful woman, Irina. I like your cheerfulness."

Puff!

Wonderful woman!

I like your cheerfulness!

I like!

I like you, Irina!

Please marry me, Irina!

"Ehh! Ehh!!!!" Irina's dual-core CPU crashed. Her eyes dilated to the limit before turning into heart shapes, and Yusuke's voice echoed in her Yandere mind, twisting into something he never said!

[Irina Shidou's submission + 1!]

[Irina Shidou's submission + 1!]

[Irina Shidou's submission: 50 (Possessive)]

...

By now, Yusuke can proudly say that he knows how to deal with a good portion of the Yanderes. Irina and Xenovia are not the particularly crazy type. On the contrary, they fall more on the tame side, though the two of them do seem a bit stubborn.

With his accumulated experience, Yusuke easily knows what to say and do to raise their submission value and keep them in line.

The two girls practically blue-screened for almost three full minutes before they finally recovered.

Irina's legs grew weak, and she let the weight of her limp body rest against him. With heavy breathing she whispered, "Darling..."

"Found him!" She was cut off mid-sentence by Yusuke. He glanced toward the area around the abandoned church and said, "Let's go before he runs again."

The fight between Kiba and Freed was fierce, and once it broke out, it immediately caught Yusuke's attention while he continued releasing his Haki.

"Really?" Xenovia blinked before exclaiming, "Yu, you are actually amazing!"

Yusuke was immune to being praised by beautiful women by now. He was about to run toward the fight when Irina and Xenovia stopped him. "Yu... Darling, if we run there, it will be too slow."

"And?" Yusuke asked.

"You are very fast. Can you lift us?" Their excuse sounded valid and reasonable, but the perverted expressions on their faces ruined the credibility completely.

"...Alright." Yusuke shook his head helplessly before giving in. These two clearly enjoyed it when he held them last time and wanted a repeat. He lifted Irina in a princess carry and had Xenovia climb onto his back.

With a light tap on the ground, he shot upward into the sky and flew straight toward the fighting scene.

Teleportation is one of the most convenient things magic has brought. Unfortunately, teleporting to a place without a teleportation formation usually takes time, often a few minutes. One needs to calculate the precise direction and destination; otherwise, the teleportation will fail. After all, no one wants to end up teleporting into a wall or a tree.

There are some exceptions. A few very skilled people can teleport extremely fast and do it in a short amount of time.

With Yusuke's speed, it was far quicker to just fly there directly rather than teleport.

"Yu, do my breasts feel good?" Xenovia suddenly whispered in his ear, pressing her soft chest against his back.

"..." Yusuke wisely chose not to answer that question.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal colliding rang out as Kiba and Freed exchanged blows at a rapid pace. Kiba was being pushed back slowly after Issei's boost wore off, and with the Excalibur Nightmare, Freed was taking the initiative.

[BOOST!]

Issei stood at the back, charging his Boosted Gear. This time, he was planning to use his Dragon Shot to blast the shit out of this sick bastard and that creepy tongue he kept sticking out.

"Tongue twister guy, you're actually alive?"

"Yusuke-san?"

"Yusuke Aoki?"

Suddenly, Yusuke's voice cut through the fight. Issei and Kiba looked up to see him hovering in the air, holding Xenovia and Irina.

"You know the great me?" Freed licked his sword. He was just a clone and didn't recognize Yusuke, the one who had killed the real Freed.

"The tomboy and the airhead, you two are here too! Perfect, I can kill you all this time, kyahahahaha!" Freed showed no fear, letting out his vulgar and obnoxious laughter.

"Irina, you go deal with him. I'm tired," Xenovia said, ignoring him. She tightened her hold on Yusuke and spoke to Irina.

"I suffered emotional damage. I'm not in any condition to fight. Why don't you do it?" Irina pressed her cheek against Yusuke's chest, refusing to move. She didn't want to leave her spot. Being in Yusuke's arms felt like heaven. It was so good, so intoxicating. How could she just casually give up on this incredible and blissful feeling?

"Two more girls? He's expanding his harem again! Damn it, I want a big harem too!" Issei glared at Yusuke, his eyes burning with envy. He clenched his fists and said, "At this rate, he's going to become the harem king before me!"

[Partner, stop it. Get some help...] Ddraig said helplessly.

"You two go deal with him." Black lines appeared on Yusuke's forehead. He didn't mind clingy women; he actually liked them a lot, but he also liked people who could distinguish between work and pleasure. He immediately let go of Irina, causing her to fall, then pulled Xenovia from his back and threw her toward Freed.

"Kyaaah! Darling, how could you do this to me?!"

"Yu! No! I still want to hold you some more!"

The two cried in despair as they fell, but despite this, they quickly adjusted their positions and rushed toward Freed mid-air. Irina drew her Excalibur Mimic, transforming it into a rapier, while Xenovia pulled out her Durandal.

"Dealing with so many Yandere quests at the same time is somewhat exhausting." Including Xenovia and Irina, Yusuke had seven quests pending. He was already stuck with no progress on the other five, and adding these two just complicated things further. The only good points were that the rewards were great, and the two girls were hot and cute.

[With great booty bitches, come great power.] The system gave him a single answer.

"WTF?! Aren't you getting the order wrong?" Yusuke nearly lost control of his Telekinesis and fell off.

[That's just what rizzless losers do. True rizzlers don't need great power to get great booty bitches,] the system said as if she were a wise old man.

"Freed, I will kill you in the name of Yusuke! I mean... in the name of the Lord!" Holding her sword high, Xenovia roared as a dense golden aura gathered in the Durandal before she slashed down and released it at him.

"May you rot in hell! Amen!" Irina thrust her rapier, and it extended rapidly as it shot toward him.

The two were in a very bad mood. This bastard showed up way too fast, and their date with Yusuke got interrupted. Today, he had to pay for that.

"Whoa! Scary! Scary!" Freed was genuinely scared this time. He frantically activated Excalibur Rapidly and hurriedly retreated to the back. As soon as he escaped the range of their attacks, he opened his coat and pulled out another sword.

"Excalibur Transparency!" Xenovia and Irina shouted the name of the sword at the same time, while Kiba glared at Freed. "Another Holy Sword!"

"Yusuke!" Before Freed could use Excalibur Transparency, reinforcements arrived from different directions. Rias, Koneko, and Akeno came rushing in together, while on the other side, Sona, Tsubaki, Aika, and Murayama advanced. From the air, Raynare, Kalawarna, and Asia descended.

"Kiba-senpai!" Koneko called out, staring at him. He had gone into emo mode and left their peerage, and she was slightly worried. After all, he was their comrade.

"Koneko-chan... Rias-Buchou... Akeno-Fukubuchou..." Kiba clenched his swords tightly, looking at his friends and comrades with complicated emotions. He hadn't expected to run into them so quickly.

"Yuuto..." Rias muttered. This was the boy she had saved in the past and even given his name. But her expression darkened the next moment as she looked away, staring at Yusuke. Someone who could betray her after everything she had done for him was not someone she needed.

Having been 'exposed' to Yusuke for months now, Rias had subtly changed, and not for the better. Especially after Akeno 'betrayed' her, she began to value loyalty above all else. Even if his intentions were good, Kiba had betrayed her, leaving Rias feeling deeply sad and disappointed. Right now, the only person in her peerage she could half-trust was Koneko.

Koneko might also be a Yandere and a love rival, but she rarely defied Rias when it came to Yusuke and even shared her 'precious' materials with her. It could be said that the two had a complex yet delicate relationship.

"Issei!" Not long after, two figures came rushing from the woods. They were Riser and Saji. The latter quickly ran to Issei and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I didn't really fight," Issei said, scratching the back of his head and giving a weak laugh. His eyes wandered past Saji and landed on the multiple women who had gathered. "Shit, they're all so beautiful! I'm so envious! This is the dream! This is the life! I'd give up everything to have a harem like his!"

'No, you are not!' Yusuke's ears twitched as he heard Issei's words and muttered in his mind. This guy was exactly the type who would probably be traumatized if his girlfriend cheated on him. If he had to endure even 1% of what Yusuke went through, he'd likely end up mentally broken.

"Riser? What are you doing here?!" Rias glared at him and asked coldly.

"Rias, don't misunderstand. I didn't come here for you," Riser said, instinctively taking a step back. He raised both hands while speaking. For some reason, a deep sense of disgust bubbled up from his heart when he saw Rias. After being betrayed by all the women in his life, he had started to feel repulsed by them. Suppressing these feelings, he quickly explained, "I came to this town to recruit new peerage members!"

He pointed at Saji and Issei, who stood by his side, and said, "Father has already spoken with your brother, Sirzechs Lucifer-sama, and your brother agreed."

According to his father and brother, since Rias had refused to take Issei into her peerage, Sirzechs Lucifer decided to give him to Riser as a form of compensation for what had happened.

The Phenex House may have only held a Marquis rank, but they wielded significant economic and political influence thanks to the Phoenix Tears. They had always been strong supporters of the Maou faction, in opposition to the Great King faction. Sirzechs Lucifer did not want to lose such a powerful ally, so he had already discussed compensation with them long before the match with Yusuke even began.

Sirzechs Lucifer also aimed to hit two birds with one stone. By having Riser take in Issei, he would not only appease the Phenex House but also draw Issei, the Red Dragon Emperor, into his faction. This way, even if his influence over the Red Dragon Emperor wouldn't be as strong as it would have been if his sister were his master, it would still be considerable. And with some effort, he could strengthen that influence even further.

"Onii-sama's permission? Why wasn't I informed of this?" Rias narrowed her eyes, feeling somewhat annoyed at being kept in the dark. Still, she wisely decided not to pursue the matter for now. All of this could wait until her plan succeeded.

She also didn't bother asking what he meant by new peerage members, since he already had a complete peerage.

"Hey, nasty devils, are you all done talking?" Freed suddenly interrupted with wild laughter. "Because someone wants to have a little chat with you!"

...
