Chapter 54 : Trust me

As Lucy closed in on him she sent a powerful right hook at his face, but to her horror, Issei blurred out of sight the moment her fist was to connect with his face.

As she looked around her she continued to hear Ddraig roaring Boost but she couldn't see him or sense him. It was like he disappeared completely.

Putting her guard up, she decided to flush him out by a barrage of magic attacks everywhere that would hopefully show his position for her to attack him. But just as she was about to attack she heard Ddraig roar.

[Explosion]

She felt something with a hell of a lot of power was just released.

The power alone started to make her start to shake for the first time in almost 50 years, Lucy felt an almost foreign feeling that she thought that she had forgotten about but she felt it before.

It was Fear… fear of this massive power that was coming from somewhere and was about to hit her full force.

Feeling something coming from behind her, she quickly turned around and put her arms up to block the attack, but she was meet with nothing and as she realized a moment later it was a faint attack from Issei to make her think that he was coming from behind when in truth he was coming for the side.

Hitting her on the side with a powerful kick, she was sent flying to the same wall that he crashed into not moments ago.

Lifting herself up slowly, she was met with a sight that made her pale a little bit. Issei was standing in front of her with a small orb of red energy that she could tell was very powerful.

Seeing that she was pinned by Issei with her back to the wall giving her no room to maneuver to evade the attack, she decreased her power knowing that she had finally lost to someone that was her equal in power.

Someone that would not use her and would treat her like a person and not a tool.

"Well looks like you beat me Issei. I can tell that attack of yours is powerful and will leave me in no position to continue. Congratulations."

She said in a defeated tone while panting exhaustedly with her head low as she sat down with her back against the wall that she landed against.

That made Issei cringe a little bit as he released his armor while panting a little bit.

"Hey, Lucy." He called her making her look up to see him heaving a smile on his face as he got closer to her making her blush.

"Y-yes?" She answered her voice stuttering a little bit.

"That was fun, we could do it later again if you are up, but now I think it's time we clean up and have a little talk to get to know each other.

Don't you think? I have all the time in this world for you." Issei told her as he put a hand on her shoulder making her blush a little bit more this time at his touch.

Not trusting her voice Lucy just nodded and she started to show him where the bathroom was and where he would be staying.

After cleaning up and refreshing a bit, both Lucy and Issei met in the living room that was a battleground not 15 minutes ago.

Lucy gestured for him to take a seat while she goes and brings something for them to eat and drink while Issei started reflecting on Lucy's behavior while she was off.

'Ddraig, Elsha do you know why Lucy was like that?' He asked his resident Dragon and blond beauty. That during the battle stayed quiet and didn't interfere much to his gratefulness.

He wanted to show both of his residents and himself that he could stand against someone who was stronger and more experienced without their help.

(There is a lot that could have made her do what she did. I think it's best to ask the source directly Ise. But now that you weathered the storm things will be easier trust me on that one.)

Elsha answered honestly knowing that it could be million and one things that made her be like that.

[Honestly partner, it's like Elsha said. It could be many things so it's better to ask her directly.] Ddraig said as he was just as lost as Issei was.

'Well it's like both of you said… it's best to hear it from the source.' Issei said just as Lucy returned bringing a tray of food and some juice.

She gently placed the tray on the table that was between them with a small smile on her face as she sat down across from him.

"Eat up. I know that you are hungry that left you exhausted just like me." Lucy told him in a soft voice as a little pink was seen on her beautiful face.

"T-thank you, Lucy, I'm famished from it, though it was fun like I said. You are pretty strong and clever." Issei thanked her in a tender voice with his face also adoring a little pink on his cheeks.

As they started to eat they slowly made small conversation about what he knew about the Devil and supernatural. Before Lucy's face turn from a ghostly smile to serious.

"Issei tell me, why did you come here to me honestly? I know it has to be something big." Lucy told him in a voice that left no room for argument.

Nodding, Issei answered her honestly. "Like I told you before the fight. I know how it is to be devastated and to be used as a tool.

I was once a normal human boy that was only and I might regret saying this, interested in porn and perverted stuff."

That made Lucy started laughing for the first time in a century as she found it funny to be only interested in porn and perverted stuff.

She was laughing so hard that she literally fell from her chair rolled on the floor laughing.
