Hyoudou Issei's eyes opened in his house; he seemed to be in a very fragile state when he woke up.
"It seems I'm at my house. I think the doctors sent me here after I was healed by someone. I need to thank that person." (Issei)
The young man stood up with an immense surge of energy and looked out the window. It was still morning, and his alarm clock hadn't gone off yet, so he could still go to school.
"I'll get dressed and eat something." (Issei)
The brown-haired teenager put on his standard school uniform and went downstairs when he realized he looked quite good.
"You're awake?? Darling, Issei is awake!!" (Miki)
The one who had shouted was Issei's mother, Miki Hyoudou. She was a middle-aged woman who seemed affected by time but still retained the beauty of her youth.
"I'm so happy, my son has recovered!" (Gorou)
The man who came running in wore glasses and had a thin build. Age hadn't been kind to Issei's father, Gorou Hyoudou, either.
"I'm awake. Sorry for worrying you both." (Issei)
Issei spent some quality time with his family after that. His parents insisted he rest a bit and not go to school, but the young man managed to convince them otherwise.
"I'm so grateful to have my parents; they are the best I could ever have." (Issei)
These were Issei's thoughts as he headed to school. The love his parents had for him was something the young man always wanted to repay when he got older.
"Issei!!" (???)
Two people approached Hyoudou Issei. One wore glasses and was very skinny, while the other looked like a monk with his shaved head and half-closed eyes.
"Matsuda, Motohama!" (Issei)
Issei was very happy to see them too. His parents had mentioned that the two of them came to check on him every day.
"That accident you had was nasty—one week asleep." (Matsuda)
"What accident??" (Issei)
"The one where you got stabbed several times in the parking lot." (Matsuda)
Issei talked more with his friends to gather information, but some curious points stuck in his mind: the two of them didn't remember him having a girlfriend—they even laughed at him for saying he had one—and the details of the accident had been altered.
"Something strange is going on." (Issei)
Hyoudou decided not to think about it for now and went to class. The reaction of his classmates to his situation was quite heartening; even the Kendo duo asked how he was doing.
"I have to investigate this. I can't let these things happen again." (Issei)
Issei's thoughts were focused on this, and he even got scolded by his teacher for being distracted in the middle of the lesson. School ended, and the perverted trio was leaving together.
"Issei, let's watch some porn! I got some legendary stuff!" (Motohama)
"Let's go, that'll cure your stab wounds and your imaginary girlfriend." (Matsuda)
"As if this bastard could get a girlfriend before us." (Motohama)
"Exactly." (Matsuda)
Matsuda and Motohama made jokes about their friend thinking he had a girlfriend for the rest of the day.
"Let's go." (Issei)
Hyoudou felt a bit strange, but spending quality time with his friends was also a good thing to do.
"Man, you guys are weird. Watching porn with other males is very strange." (Qin)
"I'm not saying a word." (Issei)
"I think my disciple is gay." (Qin)
"Go to hell!" (Issei)
"Respect me!" (Qin)
Issei and Qin argued mentally as they headed to Motohama's house to watch the legendary porn.
"Actually... the pornographic content of this era is quite good." (Qin)
"Yeah, that woman's breasts are huge." (Issei)
"I think the other one's ass is better." (Qin)
"Seems like you're a pervert too." (Issei)
Issei and Qin were mentally discussing pornography at Motohama's house until the Emperor got annoyed.
"You are a bad influence on me. I'm going to sleep before you turn me into an idiot like yourself." (Qin)
Qin temporarily cut the connection with Issei when he realized he was being affected by his disciple.
"Porn like this is the best for feeding the soul." (Motohama)
"For real." (Matsuda)
Issei was enjoying the porn a bit, but he started feeling unwell for some reason. His body had become much more sensitive, and he even seemed to be able to see through the night—a strangeness he couldn't explain.
"I also feel something bad happening. I'm going to head out." (Issei)
"What did you think of it??" (Matsuda)
Matsuda questioned his perverted friend to know what he thought of the film.
"I thought it was awesome, but it seems I'm not fully recovered yet and I need to rest a bit." (Issei)
Issei's two friends looked at him with sympathy and smiled as they said goodbye to the brown-haired boy.
"I hope to keep this friendship for a long, long time. They might be very perverted, but they are good friends." (Issei)
Issei didn't feel like he could judge those two because he himself was a huge pervert—one of the biggest. The young man was walking home when he focused on something; his ears became more sensitive, and he noticed someone following him.
"Come out. I don't have time for games." (Issei)
The person following Issei promptly revealed himself at his command. The individual was a man in English clothing, the kind detectives wore in Western movies—UK detectives.
"It seems you noticed me." (??)
Issei did not feel intimidated by the pursuer. The man didn't seem like a threat to the current him.
"Why are you following me??" (Issei)
The man revealed black wings while steadying his hat so it wouldn't fall. Those wings were very similar to someone else's.
"Are you a friend of Yuuma's??" (Issei)
The man began to laugh when the brown-haired youth asked that question. Hyoudou became uncomfortable.
"Are you talking about Raynare?? I am her subordinate. I am Dohnaseek, the Fallen Angel who will kill y—" (Dohnaseek)
Dohnaseek couldn't finish his sentence as he was kicked away by Issei. The Fallen Angel was caught off guard by the boy's speed and strength.
"I didn't ask if you're going to kill me or anything else. I asked about Yuuma." (Issei)
"Ho—" (Dohnaseek)
The Fallen Angel was kicked once more by the brown-haired boy. The Fallen was beginning to fear taking more hits.
Issei stopped attacking Dohnaseek for a moment while staring at the Fallen again, but Hyoudou was panting for some reason.
"What the hell is this?? I feel like I just took a kick, but I was the one who kicked him." (Issei)
"I forgot to mention, but you will mentally absorb the person's DNA if you observe them." (Qin)
"What kind of crap is that??" (Issei)
"It's a gift of my power; it will train your endurance." (Qin)
"My ass it's a gift. I don't like feeling other people's pain." (Issei)
Issei and Qin began to argue mentally, while Dohnaseek noticed this and tried to escape by flapping his wings.
"Goodbye, Gremory's stray dog." (Dohnaseek)
Hyoudou jumped toward Dohnaseek in the air to do something, staring at an accessory the Fallen Angel was wearing.
"That thing that looks like a scarf on his clothes is nice, and that glove too. It's going to be mine." (Issei)
Issei used his incredible hand agility to avoid the kick Dohnaseek was about to give him and stole the accessory from his collar, but he couldn't get the gloves; the Fallen Angel managed to escape.
"I wanted those gloves so much. They were worthy of a future King like me." (Issei)
"At least you have something to cover your eyes now." (Qin)
"True... I have something to cover my eyes now." (Issei)
Issei covered his eyes using that accessory as a blindfold because he didn't want to feel the pain of anyone with a serious illness or who was about to die.
"Walking around blindfolded is going to be a pain..." (Issei)
"Better get used to it." (Qin)
"Damn..." (Issei)
Issei walked through the streets blindfolded while thinking about how to explain to his parents that he would be wearing a blindfold now. He wanted to make sure they wouldn't think he had Chuunibyou.
"I'll see Rias Gremory later. Her surname was mentioned by that ugly crow, and it was in a feminine way, so it can only be her." (Issei)
The young man's head was full of thoughts when he arrived home and made up an excuse that his eyes hurt a lot and that's why he was wearing a blindfold now.
"He has eighth-grade syndrome." (Miki)
"He has eighth-grade syndrome." (Gorou)
Issei went to sleep thinking about how to prevent his parents from sending him to an asylum or a psychologist.
"Life is going to be hard." (Qin)
"It really is." (Issei)
Issei drifted off to sleep while talking to Qin. Plans for his future were in progress for when he woke up.
...
...
...
...
"Wake up, wake up, or I'll have to punish you, Onii-chan!" (???)
Issei's alarm clock had gone off as usual, and a certain person was laughing at him when they heard it.
"Your alarm clock is ridiculous. You are such a virgin!" (Qin)
"Shut up!" (Issei)
"I'm going to mock you for the rest of your life." (Qin)
"Shitty master!" (Issei)
Issei and Qin were bickering while the boy got ready for school again. He wasn't going to class now; he was going to a certain club with a Gremory.
"I'm going to get answers now." (Issei)
"Better get those answers." (Qin)
Issei found a way to avoid his friends to get to Rias Gremory's Occult Research Club as soon as possible. He and Qin needed answers.
"This place looks a bit old from the outside, but it's very beautiful inside." (Issei)
Issei and Qin admired the decoration of the club room, but something caught his attention—or rather, their attention.
"Master, that chair..." (Issei)
"That chair is very beautiful. Let's take it for ourselves." (Qin)
Issei moved quickly to sit in that luxurious chair, and a huge smile spread across his face.
"This will be my throne from now on." (Issei)
"What a beautiful throne. It must be expensive." (Qin)
Issei relaxed while talking to Qin about how good this chair was and that it belonged to them now. The conversation seemed lively.
"Am I interrupting something???" (???)
A lady with black hair and a very questioning expression entered the room. She was one of the most popular students in the school, Akeno Himejima.
"This place is very good. Do you have anything for me to drink??" (Issei)
"We have tea." (Akeno)
Akeno found it all very amusing. The man in front of her was very strange; he had a white blindfold over his eyes and was sitting in Rias's seat as if it were his own.
"Bring me some tea then, I would be very grateful." (Issei)
Akeno decided to play along because she thought Rias's reaction would be funny and also because that man had caught her attention.
"Here is the tea." (Akeno)
Issei took the tea and drank it with all the elegance in the world. Akeno noticed that the young man's manners were like those of high-class nobility—a mysterious man.
"You are a beautiful woman, I am grateful for this." (Issei)
The door opened and another person arrived—a woman with crimson hair, large breasts, and a very grumpy expression as she looked at the blindfolded individual.
"What are you doing there in my place??" (Rias)
"I'm relaxing. This place is very good." (Issei)
"Get out of there." (Rias)
"I don't want to." (Issei)
Rias was getting angrier and angrier while Akeno laughed at the stubborn brown-haired man.
"A servant should obey his master." (Rias)
"Since when am I your servant??" (Issei)
Hyoudou was confused when Rias mentioned that, as for him, this was their first face-to-face meeting.
"Since I brought you back to life after you were killed by that angel." (Rias)
Issei stood up as soon as he heard that from Rias Gremory, and it was enough confirmation of what was happening.
"What are you going to do??" (Rias)
Rias was grabbed by Issei in a very gentle way; she was carried bridal-style while she blushed at the young man's strangeness.
"Thank you for saving me. What a beautiful woman you are." (Issei)
"Put me down." (Rias)
"Okay." (Issei)
Issei set Rias down properly so she wouldn't fall. Akeno was laughing hard at the Gremory's expression.
"What did you do to me??" (Issei)
"I brought you back to life and turned you into a devil of my peerage." (Rias)
"That's why my body felt stronger even after sleeping for a week." (Issei)
"Understand that I am the master and you are the servant. You cannot act like you were just doing." (Rias)
Issei made a face of disgust when it was mentioned that he was a servant; a King could not be someone else's servant.
"Is there a way for me to become a King or something like that??" (Issei)
"There is, but you have to get much stronger." (Rias)
"Then I will be a devil of your peerage. I am at your service, but I won't do anything evil or the like." (Issei)
"We don't do evil things; that era has passed." (Rias)
"I'm going to need more explanations and also a seat just like yours, or I'll have to steal it for myself." (Issei)
Rias completely lost her composure when Issei threatened to steal her seat in the club room.
"What an interesting kouhai." (Akeno)
"I'm going to have a lot of headaches with this type..." (Rias)
