"Don't you feel sad about killing someone for the first time??" (Qin)
Qin looked at Issei's hesitant state, wondering if the man felt pity or felt nothing at all for what he had just done.
"It's hell. I can still hear the 'crack' of their necks breaking even now." (Issei)
Issei's eyes were bloodshot; he wasn't about to cry, but he was shaken when he thought of the sound he made when he broke Raynare's neck.
"The first time I killed was also terrible for me; I couldn't stay still for days." (Qin)
Qin felt a bit sad as he remembered his past when he was still alive—memories of a time that wasn't very pleasant, but still dear to him.
"I tried not to kill them. I spared those two losers twice, but I was just ambushed and nearly killed if it weren't for my mistress." (Issei)
"Yes, there were no other options." (Qin)
Issei and Qin both knew there was no choice but to kill those four; they would have kept targeting them and might have even gone after loved ones if they hadn't been put down.
"Senpai, shall we head back to the club??" (Koneko)
"Yes, we've finished everything we had to do." (Kiba)
"It was actually quite easy with you guys here." (Saji)
Issei smiled when his thoughts and conversation with Qin were interrupted. He really liked the Occult Research Club and also loved irritating a certain red-haired woman.
"I'll go later. I have something to do now." (Issei)
Hyoudou walked toward the city center with a mischievous smile; he had things to buy to distract himself and clear his current mental state.
A Royal Makeover
"I'm going to cut my hair first. It's too long, and it gets annoying to put on the blindfold with this current style." (Issei)
"Are you going to style it like mine??" (Qin)
"Yes, it will be a tribute to my teacher." (Issei)
"I feel honored." (Qin)
Hyoudou walked happily toward the barbershop in the city center, thinking about the new hairstyle. He needed to buy some clothes, a new blindfold, and some accessories as well.
...
"A shame you didn't dye it black." (Qin)
"I prefer my brown hair; I like looking like my father." (Issei)
"Black hair would be better, because then you'd look like this hunk." (Qin)
"My hair is more beautiful now." (Issei)
"Mine is." (Qin)
"Mine.." (Issei)
Issei and Qin were arguing mentally when they were interrupted to pay the bill at the salon.
"I'll pay by card." (Issei)
Issei handed over a card and the PIN for the man to process. The man was astonished when he saw that credit card, which only the wealthiest people possessed.
"Is this card yours??" (Owner)
"It's my girlfriend's, Rias Gremory." (Issei)
Issei lied when he said it belonged to his "girlfriend"; he had simply managed to steal his mistress's PIN and card when he hugged her.
"How I envy this young man... she must be an old lady to have this much money and bag a guy this handsome." (Owner)
The owner felt a bit of envy seeing that card and thinking the boy in front of him had such a rich girlfriend.
...
"Now let's buy some clothes." (Issei)
"Don't you think your mistress will be angry??" (Qin)
"She's filthy rich; she won't even notice the money I spent." (Issei)
"True, she probably won't even be that mad." (Qin)
The two talked about spending someone else's money as if it were their own.
...
Issei and Qin saw many beautiful and expensive clothes. The outfits they bought were mostly elegant suits or clothes with a certain degree of luxury; they didn't buy any casual or normal clothes.
"Will you pay with cash or card??" (Attendant)
The attendant looked at Issei—his eyes now uncovered—with a certain lust; she thought the young man was very handsome and was certain he was rich.
"Card." (Issei)
Issei gave Rias Gremory's card to the cashier while checking the luxury clothes he had picked out.
"Do you think we overdid it??" (Qin)
"Hell no, we didn't overdo anything." (Issei)
"True, we spent very little." (Qin)
"Yeah, we only spent about 2,000 dollars on clothes." (Issei)
"Exactly." (Qin)
Issei and Qin headed to a store that sold accessories, thinking about some blindfolds and gloves to buy.
"Card??" (Attendant)
The attendant was shocked by the beauty and elegance of the young man in front of him, as well as the clothes, and thought he was filthy rich.
"Card." (Issei)
Issei gave Rias Gremory's card again for another attendant to charge his expenses.
The Price of Arrogance
Issei arrived at the Occult Research Club very happy with his luxurious clothes, a very high-quality fabric blindfold, and black gloves. His style consisted of a vest over a normal white shirt.
"Hello. Don't you have something to give me??" (Rias)
A very furious Rias was in the main seat of the Occult Research Club, looking at the boy in front of her with killing intent.
"Here is your credit card." (Issei)
Issei returned the credit card to her so casually that it seemed like it was his and not hers.
"Care to explain the more than 5,000 dollars you spent??" (Rias)
"I needed to look good. I ended up looking too good." (Issei)
Rias became more and more stressed as she looked at this fellow who felt no remorse for taking her card and spending her money.
"You need punishment." (Rias)
"But you can't catch me." (Issei)
"Not by normal means." (Rias)
A magic circle appeared beneath Issei. This magic circle added massive gravity to Hyoudou, forcing him to his knees and even into a very strange position.
"You're screwed!!" (Qin)
Qin was laughing in Issei's subconscious when he realized Rias was going to punish him somehow for taking her card.
"Help, she's going to violate me." (Issei)
The magic circle somehow changed shape and forced the cocky boy into a position on all fours. Rias smiled when she saw that, and a red magic circle appeared in her palm.
"This is going to be fun and exciting." (Akeno)
Akeno was watching everything from the side; she really wanted to see that conceited boy being punished by her mistress—she wished it were her punishing him.
"Receive the thousand spankings!!" (Rias)
"No!!!" (Issei)
"Yes!!!" (Rias/Qin/Akeno)
