"I don't love him…and he's just terrible. He's everything that's wrong with devil society. I know it sounds selfish, but I want to marry someone I love," Rias said sadly.

"So, you want me to go out of my way and fight your fiancé…for you? What kind of shit is that? It's not like I want to marry you, so why do you expect chivalry out of me?" Issei shook his head.

"I don't…but I-" Rias trailed off, unsure of what to say.

Issei interrupted her, "Getting married to some shithead is probably the only bad thing that'll ever happen to you. There are real people with real problems out there, and you're standing here like some spoiled little brat having a pity party about marrying some rich douchebag? Deal with it yourself, Gremory."

"I'm sorry for bothering you then…" Rias said dejectedly as she turned to leave.

Akeno stood there for a moment as Rias was leaving. She shook her head at him, "You're wrong about Rias. Not all devils are like that…Rias isn't like that. She's not the person you think she is. If you actually believed that devils were that bad, then you wouldn't hang around that girl, Vali."

"Vali actually fights her own battles instead of asking for people to save her. I'll respect your master when she stops acting like some damsel in distress. That aside, Vali's only half-devil…I'm sure someone like you would understand there's a difference," Issei replied, causing Akeno's eyes to widen.

"W-what did you just say? Someone like me?!" Akeno gasped.

"Don't feel too bad…I actually like fallen angels more than devils," Issei said as he closed the door on her.

As he turned around, Issei saw both Xenovia and Irina standing up and staring at him anxiously. He was somewhat surprised that they didn't interrupt his conversation at any point.

"Were those devils?" Xenovia asked Issei seriously, "what did they want?"

"A knight in shining armor," Issei said dryly.

Xenovia looked confused, "Huh?"

"Did they ask you for help or something, Issei?" Irina asked curiously.

"Yeah, I told them no," Issei said as he sat down.

"I thought the devils feared you?" Xenovia said, cocking her head.

"They do…but for some reason, they keep trying to get me to help them with stuff. It's really annoying," Issei sighed.

Irina smiled, "I'm glad that the devils fear you…it makes staying here feel safer."

"Well, you two have fun with the game, I'm going to go work on my bike in the garage. Give me a shout if you need anything," Issei waved as he grabbed a quick snack out of his fridge.

A moment later, he went into his garage, opened it for better lighting, and went over to his toolbox to grab a few tools.

He looked at his bike for a moment, pondering, 'Now…how to make you faster?'

Issei spent the next few hours diligently working on his motorcycle. He was specifically putting on an extra exhaust so that he could spew more flames with his enhanced turbo. As he worked through the gas line of his bike, he eventually checked the tank for any changes.

'Hmm…that custom fuel I made seems to be working alright. I'm glad it didn't explode in there or damage the lines,' he thought as he saw no visible damage.

While tinkering with his bike, he couldn't help but think about how he was going to make it to the dimensional rift undetected for the next week.

Deep in thought, he pondered, 'I wonder…is it possible to use illusions like Red does?'

'What are you talking about, Issei?' Ddraig questioned him.

'Hear me out for a minute, Ddraig…but Red gifted me with some of his own power. Do you think it's possible that I could use it for creating illusions like he can?' Issei asked.

Ddraig thought for a moment, 'That's actually an interesting idea. If you could, then it would work in a similar manner to how you restrict your scent and power signature. Granted, for you to project an illusion like that, you would first need to know who that angel watching you is.'

'Why's that?' Issei wondered.

'Think about how you restrict your scent and power...it's willful. You have to imagine it. In order to restrict a being, you would have to know who they are in order to affect their perceptions. At least that's how I would imagine it to work. Granted I'm just as uncertain as you are about how Great Red's power actually works. At the very least it would be good to know who that angel is,' Ddraig responded.

'You're a genius, Ddraig…I'll message that angel right now and find out who it is,' Issei laughed.

A moment later, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to the mystery angel, [I've changed my mind…I want to meet you. Would you be interested in coming by my house today?]

[Did you have a change of heart?] the angel messaged back within thirty seconds.

[No, but I'd like to at least know what my stalker looks like.] Issei sent back.

Not even thirty seconds passed before he got a reply, [I would love to meet you! Be right there!]

Issei sighed as he anticipated the awkward meeting he was about to have. He walked back inside his living room and sat down on the couch next to Xenovia and Irina. The two of them were still deeply invested in the game.

"Fus Ro Dah!"

"Fus Ro Dah!" the two girls shouted in unison with their character on the screen.

"This dragon shouting power is amazing…I wish I could do it in real life," Xenovia said aloud.

Irina looked over at the delinquent with a grin, "Hey, Issei, are you a dragonborn?"

Issei chuckled, "Well, I do have Ddraig inside me, so maybe I am! Though I don't think I can shout like that in real life."
