The morning after the mortifying parental interruption felt like waking up in a different world. My parents were tiptoeing around me at breakfast, Mom casting nervous glances while Dad buried his face in the newspaper, muttering about "young love." I kept my responses vague, promising to introduce "Yuuma" formally soon. With my Luck, I hoped to avoid another disaster, but the Gamer System's latest quest was my real focus. The new objective, coupled with the fallout from last night, had my mind racing.
I checked my status while sipping coffee, grounding myself in my power:

Accept? [Y/N]
I selected Y, my mind racing. Kissing Kalawarner and Mittelt tongue-to-tongue? The system was doubling down on exploiting fallen angel weaknesses, like with Raynare's navel. It made sense—intimate contact disrupted their corrupted angelic essence, weakening their defenses and will. Killing Dohnaseek was straightforward but dangerous; he was likely as strong as Raynare, if not stronger. The Power of Destruction perk, though? That was a game-changer, giving me Rias's devastating magic. With Raynare as my girlfriend and ally, I had a fallen angel insider to help plan the ambush.
Raynare met me outside after breakfast, her Yuuma disguise flawless. She smirked, sensing my nerves. "Ready to take on my old team?"
"You sure you're okay with this?" I asked, using Observe to check her thoughts: "Issei's mine now, but Kalawarner and Mittelt could be useful allies. Dohnaseek's a loose end—he'd betray us." Her loyalty held firm.
"They're not my friends," she said, her voice cold. "Dohnaseek's a zealot, loyal only to Azazel's orders. Kalawarner and Mittelt follow him out of fear. If you subdue them, they'll switch sides. I'll help you take him down."
I nodded, trusting her. "Where are they?"
"An abandoned warehouse near the edge of town," she said. "They're scouting for Sacred Gear users, same as I was. Dohnaseek's leading tonight's patrol. We can hit them there."
We planned to strike after dark. Raynare briefed me on their strengths: Kalawarner, tall and voluptuous, favored close combat with light spears; Mittelt, petite and deceptive, used ranged magic and illusions; Dohnaseek, a grizzled male fallen, was a tank with high endurance and brutal melee skills. My stats—130 across Strength, Endurance, Agility, and 150 Intelligence—gave me an edge, but I'd need Boosted Gear and strategy to handle three-on-one.
At school, I kept up appearances, joking with Matsuda and Motohama to avoid suspicion. Rias Gremory watched me in class, her Observe thoughts unchanged: "He's powerful, but refusing my peerage makes him unpredictable. I'll keep him close as an ally." Her score stayed at 40/100. I avoided her, focusing on the evening's mission.
As dusk fell, Raynare and I headed to the warehouse district. The air was heavy, the silence broken only by distant city sounds. Raynare shed her Yuuma disguise, black wings unfurling, her leather outfit revealing her navel—a reminder of how I'd subdued her. She caught my glance and winked. "Focus, lover. Save that for later."
I grinned, activating Observe as we approached the warehouse. Three signatures inside:
Name: Kalawarner
Level: 18
HP: 5,500/5,500
MP: 7,000/7,000
Strength: 40
Endurance: 45
Agility: 55
Intelligence: 60
Luck: 25
Thoughts About You: "Never heard of him. Probably another weak human Dohnaseek's targeting."
Name: Mittelt
Level: 16
HP: 4,500/4,500
MP: 8,000/8,000
Strength: 30
Endurance: 35
Agility: 60
Intelligence: 65
Luck: 30
Thoughts About You: "Some kid Dohnaseek wants dead. Sounds boring."
Name: Dohnaseek
Level: 22
HP: 7,000/7,000
MP: 6,000/6,000
Strength: 50
Endurance: 60
Agility: 50
Intelligence: 55
Luck: 20
Thoughts About You: "Raynare's been quiet. This Hyoudou kid might be trouble. I'll crush him first."
Dohnaseek was the biggest threat, his stats rivaling Raynare's before I subdued her. Kalawarner and Mittelt were weaker but still dangerous, especially if they teamed up. I whispered the plan to Raynare: "I'll draw Dohnaseek out, take him down fast. You distract the girls, then I'll subdue them with the kisses. Can you handle that?"
She nodded, light spear forming. "I'll keep them busy. Don't screw this up."
We crept inside, the warehouse dark and cavernous, crates stacked high. The fallen angels stood in a clearing, Dohnaseek's trench coat stark against Kalawarner's revealing outfit and Mittelt's gothic lolita dress. I activated Boosted Gear, the red gauntlet glowing. "BOOST!" Ddraig's voice echoed, doubling my stats: Strength, Endurance, Agility to 260; HP to 26,000; MP to 15,000.
I stepped into the light. "Dohnaseek! I'm Issei Hyoudou. Let's talk."
He spun, eyes narrowing. "The Sacred Gear brat. Where's Raynare?"
"Right here," she said, emerging with a smirk, wings flaring. "I'm done with you, Dohnaseek."
"Traitor!" he roared, charging with a massive light axe. Kalawarner and Mittelt hesitated, confused, giving Raynare her opening. She fired light bolts at them, forcing them to scatter.
Combat erupted. Dohnaseek's axe swung, but my 260 Agility let me dodge effortlessly. I countered with a punch, my Strength sending him crashing through crates—HP down to 6,000/7,000. He roared, summoning a storm of light shards. I weaved through, Gamer's Body converting grazes to 500 HP loss (25,500/26,000). "BOOST!" Stats doubled again—Strength, Endurance, Agility to 520; HP to 52,000.
Dohnaseek didn't stand a chance. I closed in, landing a barrage of blows. His HP plummeted to 2,000, then 500. With a final uppercut, I shattered his defenses, his body dissolving into light—fallen angels didn't leave corpses. "Objective: Kill Dohnaseek—complete," I muttered.
Raynare was holding her own, dodging Kalawarner's spears and Mittelt's illusions. I leaped in, using Observe to track their thoughts: Kalawarner—"Raynare betrayed us? This kid's too strong!"—Mittelt—"I don't want to die!" Their fear was my advantage.
I tackled Kalawarner first, pinning her against a crate. She struggled, her Agility no match for me. "Hold still," I said, pressing my lips to hers, tongue diving in as the system advised. She froze, eyes wide, then softened, her resistance fading. One minute passed, her body slumping, thoughts shifting: "This… feels right. I'm his." Her HP stabilized at 5,000/5,500.
Mittelt screamed, firing magic blasts. I dodged, boosted stats making me a blur, and grabbed her small frame. She squirmed, but I kissed her deeply, tongue-to-tongue. Her illusions flickered out, her thoughts melting: "He's claiming me… I can't resist." After a minute, she went limp, panting.
The system chimed.

Kalawarner and Mittelt become your girlfriends (Relationship System scores set to 90/100, Lover status).
Perk: Power of Destruction (Destructive energy blasts, scalable with Intelligence).

Kalawarner and Mittelt knelt before me, eyes adoring. Raynare landed beside me, smirking. "Three fallen angels, Issei? Greedy."
I grinned, feeling the Power of Destruction manifest—a crimson-black aura in my hands, crackling with potential. "Let's get out of here."
We returned to my house, careful to avoid detection. My parents were out for a rare evening, giving us the place to ourselves. Raynare, Kalawarner, and Mittelt shed their disguises, wings tucked away, their fallen angel forms stunning in the dim light of my room. Raynare's leather outfit, Kalawarner's curves, Mittelt's petite frame—they were a trio of dangerous beauty, now loyal to me.
Raynare pulled me close, kissing me fiercely. "You've earned this, Issei." Kalawarner and Mittelt joined in, their hands exploring. Clothes fell away, and we tumbled onto the bed, a tangle of limbs and passion. Raynare guided the others, her experience leading. Kalawarner's strength matched my own, her kisses deep and hungry. Mittelt's smaller frame pressed against me, her enthusiasm surprising.
The system ensured no interruptions—my Luck holding firm. We moved in sync, bodies intertwining, each moment intense. Raynare's moans mingled with Kalawarner's gasps, Mittelt's soft cries adding to the symphony. My enhanced stats let me keep up, Gamer's Body negating fatigue. As we reached climax, the connection between us solidified, their loyalty unbreakable.
After, we lay together, catching our breath. Raynare traced my chest. "You're building an army, Issei."
Kalawarner nodded. "With us and that Power of Destruction, you're a force."
Mittelt giggled. "And we're all yours."
I smiled, checking my status. The Power of Destruction felt natural, tied to my Intelligence. With three fallen angel girlfriends and Rias as an ally, I was ready for whatever came next. The supernatural world of High School DxD was heating up, but I was no pawn—I was a king in the making.
