"STOP FIGHTING IN MY HOUSE!" Issei's voice boomed with a mix of anger and frustration, causing all the girls to freeze in their tracks, their attention shifting to him.

With a display of strength that surprised Xenovia once again, Issei swiftly disarmed her, throwing her sword to the ground. He then turned his attention to Kalawarner, his annoyance palpable. "Put that thing away, Kalawarner!"

Stammering an apology, Kalawarner retreated, retracting her radiant spear. The exorcists looked on in astonishment, amazed by Issei's ability to bring the chaotic situation under control.

Raynare, her gaze fixated on Irina, a wicked grin forming on her lips, spoke in a taunting tone.

"So... what brings these exorcists to your humble abode, Issei? Are they causing you any trouble? Did the angels send them, or perhaps the church?"

"How could you possibly know that, fallen one?!" Irina demanded, her voice tinged with disbelief and betrayal.

"He is our ally and friend," Raynare boldly declared, her words hanging in the air, leaving Irina gasping in shock as her gaze shifted towards Issei.

Xenovia's expression mirrored Irina's astonishment as she cocked her head and questioned, "Are you collaborating with the fallen angels, Issei Hyoudou?"

Issei let out a weary sigh, realizing that his secrets were being exposed. "No, I don't work for anyone. They are merely acquaintances to whom I provided some information about the devils."

Confusion lingered on Irina's face as she looked back and forth between Issei and Raynare. "But... how did you move like that and catch Xenovia's sword?"

Frustration seeped into Issei's voice as he explained, "You ignorant fools... Issei is a dragon, and he stands on our side, not yours."

Irina shook her head in denial, refusing to accept this new reality. "That's impossible! We grew up together, Issei. We were childhood friends. I know you, and I know your parents are human!"

Raynare, her disdain for the church evident, hissed with contempt, "You clearly don't know him as well as you think. Issei possesses power that surpasses us all, including a self-righteous church fanatic like yourself."

Kalawarner chimed in, further fueling Irina's frustration. "He has devils vying for his attention at his own school every day. Why would he want individuals like you to know his true nature?"

Xenovia turned her gaze towards Issei, her disbelief apparent in her eyes. "So, you're a dragon... Why didn't you disclose this to us?"

Issei's fatigue grew, realizing the weight of the revelations that had unfolded before him.

"Why would I? I am already burdened with the constant advances of devils within the confines of my school. There was no reason for people like you to be privy to my secrets."

"That's impossible... his parents are both human!" Irina declared once again, her voice laced with frustration and disbelief.

Raynare and Kalawarner exchanged curious glances, seemingly contemplating the truth of this statement.

Confusion filled Kalawarner's voice as she tilted her head, "But how is that possible? From what we've witnessed and heard, Issei is a half-dragon."

Irina's eyes narrowed, fixed on Issei, as she demanded an explanation, "Issei, why do they believe you're a dragon?"

Issei clenched his fists, irritation evident on his face, "Yeah, I'm a dragon... and that's all you need to know."

Raynare crossed her arms, sending a contemptuous glare toward Irina, "Seems like you didn't know him as well as you claimed, little girl."

Irina's anger flared, her voice laced with determination, "I know him better than fallen traitors like you ever will!"

Issei let out a frustrated growl, his patience wearing thin, "Enough with the bickering! These fallen angels have no business here, and I won't let them drag me into their schemes. And you, exorcists, don't think you can sway me either. This is my life, and I won't be manipulated by any of you."

Xenovia and Irina looked at each other, unsure of how to proceed. Issei's stern gaze shifted between them, awaiting their response.

Xenovia spoke up, her voice steady, "Those swords we wield are indeed Excaliburs, sacred weapons of the church."

Issei shook his head, annoyance etched on his face, "Why does everything always go to hell in Kuoh?"

Kalawarner's voice carried a tone of accusation as she addressed the exorcists, "If you were unaware of Issei's dragon heritage, what brought you here in the first place?"

Irina's determination remained unshaken as she declared, "Issei is my childhood friend, and we are staying here. I won't let you stop me."

Raynare and Kalawarner exchanged skeptical looks, their disbelief evident. Raynare sneered, "Like hell you will! I won't allow you to rope him into whatever dubious mission you're on. Besides, Issei doesn't need a naive little girl like you by his side."

"Get out of here, fallen one! Issei doesn't need the likes of YOU corrupting him, you vile temptress!" Irina shouted defiantly at Raynare.

In response, an overwhelming surge of red draconic aura enveloped the room, causing all four women to recoil and almost lose their balance under its immense pressure.

Irina quickly lowered her sword and stumbled back onto the couch, while Xenovia, too, relinquished her weapon and took a seat next to Irina.

In the midst of the tense atmosphere, Issei's commanding voice broke through, cutting through the tension like a blade. "Will you all just sit down and shut the fuck up for one minute?!"

The force behind his words was palpable, and the women felt compelled to comply. They found themselves unable to resist the command, their bodies instinctively obeying his authoritative presence. Each of them settled into their seats, their gazes fixated on Issei.

Issei sighed heavily, his anger simmering down as he walked towards the kitchen. "I just woke up... and I'm fucking hungry. So why don't you all sit the fuck down or get out of my house?! I'm going to get some breakfast."

Raynare quickly seized the opportunity to regain favor, rushing to retrieve the tray of food she had brought. "Wait, Issei! I brought you breakfast. Let's eat it together."

She placed the tray on the living room table, ensuring it remained steady this time. Issei, surprised by her culinary skills, sat down across from Xenovia and Irina, eyeing the food with curiosity.

"I didn't know you could cook," Issei remarked, his surprise evident in his voice.

Raynare took advantage of the seating arrangement, swiftly settling down beside him.

Meanwhile, Kalawarner occupied the seat on Issei's other side, her wings still outstretched, much to his annoyance. Issei glanced around the living room, noticing the feathers scattered about.

Irina and Xenovia exchanged disbelieving glances, their initial intentions subdued in the wake of Issei's display of power. Both exorcists refrained from speaking, understanding that provoking him further could lead to unwanted consequences.

With a mixture of curiosity and caution, Issei and the four women sat down together, prepared to partake in the breakfast Raynare had prepared.
