Chapter 11 - Angel Fallen in Love

There was once a story in the distant past of a young angel fallen in love with a man who seduced her. She was naive at the time, curious and ended up corrupted, turning her once pure white angelic wings to turn pitch black like the night.

The young angel was devastated when his father found out having scolded her and due the shame it brought to her father returned to the man she fell in love with only to taste the bitterness of betrayal where the man only used her to be nothing more than amusement.

She screamed and fought yet the damage in her heart had caused her to fall deeper into the rapid hole of the world. The once innocent young angel took her first life where life bathed the ground and everything became a blur to her memories only her brothers who came to find the scene comforted her.

She learns he has the same fate as she did and eventually their father who saw that few of his children had fallen forced him to discipline them, exiling them from their former home and though it brought him great pain. He had given them a place to be their new home.

After their fall, their father had chosen a worthy man to save a few worthy individuals who did not have any poison that caused the angel to fall and smite the corrupted humans who took advantage of his innocent children.

Eventually time passed by, she grew distance learning to accept her fall and grew to become more mature turning into a headstrong and independent woman.

She did not bear lasting hatred to the race that the man she fell in love with rather her heart became enclosed, unable to find a way to accept a man in her life fearing for the betrayal she had experienced.

Her brothers and sister were fortunate enough to have their partner with them birthing a new generation of fallen and this made her envious learning more about how relationships between man and woman can be. Their father didn't punish them since they were only misguided and gladly accepted them.

Eventually war stirred a massive carnage between her faction of the fallen angel and Devil. The angel and fallen angel were allies or rather had neutral stands with few fallen angels having malicious intent against both factions.

She participated watching her brother and sister fall while bystanders were killed in the sidelines. The Devil faction were strong due to their innate abilities from their bloodline forcing the fallen angel and angel to stop in their fight.

Countless years of endless battle had come to an end when news of her Father and the Four Great Maou perished from a massive conflict between them. Though, eventually her father was not dead, rather part of his grand plan.

Momentary peace came allowing her faction to find new ways to occupy themselves where her older brother found the hobby of replicating their father's work called Sacred Gear. On the other hand, she continued her life like before helping her new family and envied her other brother who had his own family.

It was years ago that she heard the news that her brother had fallen in love with a woman who belonged to a powerful clan. She congratulated him and warned about the consequences forcing him and the woman to live far away from her clan living peacefully.

She envied him so badly until her older brother brought a young girl who was scared, showing a life of abuse. She can see herself in the little girl's eyes and accepts her as own daughter teaching what she knows.

The little girl who was scared to be left alone turned into a stubborn and strong willed young woman having grown stronger than normal children wielding a powerful Sacred gear of [ Divine Dividing.

She was proud and even got another daughter who was a kind and loving young woman who was older than his other daughter but she loved them both like her flesh.

Time flies and his brother comes with news of his family having been attacked, having a tragic end where his daughter hated her for his mistakes. She tried to help but there was nothing she could do.

Eventually they learned what happened to his daughter who had joined a Devil's peerage under the heiress of the Gremory. His brother could only observe and speak with the brother of the heiress and current title of Lucifer to protect and care for his daughter.

She felt sorrow seeing her brother suffer and prayed for her father to help fix the wound of the past. To her surprise, a single man appeared into their life that changed everything.

He was an unusual person who shared his deep affection for the female buxom and gave an honest love for it, sharing his naive dream of Harem King. She found it amusing and came to know more about the said young man learning of his history realizing he experienced the same thing as she did but worse.

Betrayed and killed by the woman he thought genuinely liked him and thought this was the truth only to find out he was controlled by someone forcing them to do what they did.

He suddenly became lost and had deep trauma pushing away the woman that truly liked him because of his deeper personality.

Despite his perversion, the young man was courageous, selfless and unwaveringly determined to protect those who are important to him, despite almost dying by the hands of his opponents. Having great kindness, he is also very caring, "putting his nose into other people's business.

In addition, he had a habit of not forgiving himself if he does something wrong: always saying sorry on instinct if said thing is mentioned, and showing an expression of pain and regret.

This causes even more distance between his relationship with the woman that was around him despite their feelings and despite wanting to lose his virginity, he refuses to take advantage of women when they are upset, even if they themselves are willing to.

There was a time she tried to see him as her two daughters fell for him and found he was more than meets the eye, unlike the man she fell in love with.

He is also fiercely loyal to his comrades and is always willing to stand up for them. His kindness also has a positive influence on others including former enemies.

She often teased them until time went by and her feelings grew for him. At first she saw him as someone to be teased and didn't want to make her relationship with daughter awkward.

Unfortunately, the young man had ways in persuading and unconsciously making women fall for them. She will never ever forget when her story was heard by the young man who remained silent and didn't dare to judge her. His words were the final nail to the coffin that broke her and made the decision to follow her feelings.

"... I'm unsure what to say and didn't expect that was the case but…you shouldn't be too hard on yourself. One day there will be a person who will never betray you and give you the world if it needs to be. Whoever that jerk was doesn't appreciate a beautiful woman to be by his side."

The young man spoke without any lie giving the whole truth of what he feels. She had giggled at that time and found his answer to be flattering. He had changed after accepting the woman around and becoming more mature and aware but certainly had his dense moments.

"But you don't know me from that time—" she tries to deny it only for him to cut her off.

"So what of it? It's not everyday a literal angel to descend from heaven to fall for a man willing to be tainted to follow their heart?"

The young man seemed to express his frustration trying to think of the reason why someone would betray a beautiful woman who was obsessed with them. He would protect them at all costs and loved them without end.

"Hell that guy has to be worse scum to be dumb enough to try doing those things. I'm a pervert, sure but I'm not a scum."

She paused looking at him before giving a light giggle and he gave a weak smile.

"Ah I got off topic, what I am trying to say is that regardless of what happened in the past, you shouldn't hold you back in the present to obtain your future."

The young man looked at her directly in the eyes showing what he felt and this caused her heart to stirred inside having her heart slowly falling for him.

Since that day she started to grow closer to him and wasn't simply teasing anymore as she tries to understand her feelings more before confessing.

"Stop, Ise!"

This moment was the time when the conflict between her world and the world called Evie Etoulde at its climax as their leader had arrived having defeated most of their forces where only he was the one that remained standing.

Everyone was on the ground unconscious and badly wounded while the barrier was keeping everyone safe surrounded by mechanical creatures and one of them stood among the ground who permeated an instenses and dreadful atmosphere looking down at them as inferior beings.

The aura around him was denses enough to manifest into a horrific entity weighing down on their barrier that was trying to be broken by his underling.

The young man looked at him giving an intense glare while his vision was hazy due the blood pouring from his head.

He was badly wounded and barely standing with his armor badly damaged and was supported by her. It pains her heart to see him in a horrific state and yet he didn't seem concerned about his well being.

"I-I can still fight….I'm still alive there's that. If I don't go and fight to help my comrade then I will regret it later."

He stubbornly stepped forward fixing his armor with the last bit of his remaining power standing tall showing his back to her. The young man stood firm and strong despite his state and permeated more power. She looked at him speechless struggling to stand as she was also badly injured.

Unlike the man who looked at him to taint her, he stood looking forward and his back behind her showing that he will protect no matter what even if he may never see him again. Her heart wavered filled the time they spent with one another and how his presence awakened a feeling that she had long forgotten.

Fear creeps into her heart and was not afraid to let him go and moved to hug her from behind him, surprising the young man.

"N-No…I can't leave you…..I don't want to lose you now when I've finally accepted my feelings for you!"

Tears fell from her eyes as she tightened her hug trying to stop him from going anywhere. The young man was speechless yet immediately turned to face her where he was able to see her beautiful and charming face before wiping the tears in her eyes forcing himself to smile despite the pain he was in.

"Penemue….I'm not going anywhere. I keep my promise and I'll come back alive. Just take everyone back to a safe place."

The young man caressed her cheek, stopping her from crying looking intently at his face, taking a few moments until she leaned forward giving him a kiss, surprising him yet accepted it with his heart hugging her back while she had wrapped her arms around his shoulder. The taste was sweet despite the blood in his mouth taking a few seconds until their lips departed.

"Make sure to come, alright!" She raised her voice while the young man smiled and said.

"Of course, I can't let you be disappointed after confessing to me." He smirked while she nodded before leaning into his ear and said.

"If you die then you won't be able to take me to bed." This made the young man extremely motivated and nodded like a madman turning back against his enemy.

"Then I'm off." He ready himself to fly when she had one last thing to say.

"Ise!" The young man turned and heard her words.

"I love you." Her words were genuine and were not used carelessly while Issei warmly smiled.

"I love you too, Penemue."

He then flew at incredible speed resulting in a powerful gust of wind and confronted his enemy without fear and hesitation.

Three years had passed since that day where Penemue and his other woman had gotten married living in peace and prosperity until the arrival of the Outer God having died tragically when faced against those horrid creatures.

"Who are you!?"

She faced a creature that made her skinny crawl and teeth rattle in fear despite the creature standing unfazed by her presence.

The creature seemingly spread preformed hymns of horrific shriek and maddening screams. Everything seemed to fall and crumble into something beyond horror in cosmic scale where sound was far too distant from reality that she was unable to know which was real which was not. Despair and fear of madness creep into her heart as she suffocates in a strange and horrifying way.

However, light shone from her heart that pushes all this dreadful madness and able to breath and stand against the abyssal abomination who caught by surprise gave great interest.

It suddenly roared and the last thing she ever saw was the sky and the face of his lover who held her realizing that her images had been distorted and mutated yet he was surprised that he still recognized her.

"I-Ise….don't look….at me." She was ashamed of the display that her form showed while her voice made him jump and quickly said.

"Penemue! Thank goodness you're alive!! Don't worry help is on their way—"

His voice of desperation was clear and she knew her life was fading quickly.

"It's….too late…please….I don't want you to look at me…"

"Why?" He was confused and she was speechless and heard him speak and give a soft heartfelt smile.

"No matter what you look like, you're just as beautiful as I've met you." She felt flustered at his words since it often the other way around as he easily flustered from simple teasing but now he matured and grew into someone dependable.

"I won't deny I was attracted to you for your beauty but I fell in love with your personality and love for me." He said slowly tearing up gritting his teeth crying seeing her in pain but continued to speak instinctively and felt that it ease her worry and fear.

"T-The thing I find most beautiful about you is despite how you carry your beauty, you have something deeper inside and I love every part of it." Her heart pounding deeply from his words falling for him yet again.

"A headstrong, kind and loving woman who did not judge me for who I was in the past. That is why even without your beauty then you will still be my Penemue. The woman I loved and cherished."

That was the final world before she passed on satisfied in life and prayed for her father to protect her lover from evil. She had many things that she wanted to say and things to do but was unable to. Her only fear is that he would blame himself for her death. This was the tragic story of Penemue.

Grigori, Conference room.

Memories of a forgotten and destroyed life resurface from the depths of their mind processing what they had learned. They all stared at the man who gave them the revelation of the apocalypse that has yet to come. He was currently smothered by two pairs of mountains who tenderly embraced him and didn't want to leave.

"Pe-tan, you're pushing me too far! I want to hug Ise-tan!" Said by a short yet well endowed young girl wearing a magical outfit letting the man squish her breast in his face.

"Fufufu, getting greedy now, Sera. You know Ise-kun prefers mine over yours." Said by a mature and beautiful woman wearing glasses pulling the man who doesn't know how to feel since a part of him wants to enjoy but another was the other were looking at them strangely.

"That's not true! He likes all sizes! If not then Issei wouldn't be the Oppai Dragon!" Serafall declared pulling him into her chest.

"Alright, can you stop fighting? We can do this later, for now I want to discuss what I intend to do and prepare for the war against not only those abominations but also The Evie gods."

Issei knew that they wouldn't arrive if it weren't for Rizevim but he also believed that it only matter of time they did like how the outer god arrives. He can't let them win especially how Chimune Chipaoti or Oppai Goddess who was became his lover along few others.

Unfortunately, he can't work on multiple things and rush everything knowing that it would hinder everyone's ability to overcome and become strong. Issei needed to trust them that they could survive and grow.

At the moment, he would need to concentrate on the woman around him first before heading to that world. Issei knew they would be angry at him for doubting their abilities and only hoped that they'll meet soon.

"Then tell us what we need to do?" Sirzechs sharp gaze took the matter seriously as he had a wife and child needed to be protected.

"First, I want to train Rias and her peerage." He needs to recall their past and grow stronger much faster than before.

"Second, we need to form a peace treaty soon. Perhaps a few months from now since it's best to clean up the rats in each faction." Issei doesn't consider what he knows would be a fact therefore believes that Kokabiel might change his plans.

He glanced at Azazel and Sirzechs who nodded as they knew exactly who they're talking to. Though, they may have the information about the rats in their faction does not mean they have any concrete evidence of them and would be in tight investigation for the time being.

"Oh, also don't make Roygun suffer too much and maybe train with us." Issei was worried that her love for the rating games would be ruined due to the scandal of King pieces.

"Stop it you worrywart! Ru-tan can handle her situation herself but don't worry I'll ask her along with So-tan to join your training." Serafall said having known Roygun for some time as both were around centuries while the former was few thousand since she was there during the civil war.

"Ara~ how can you worry about other girls when you have us here?" Penemue teased him while Issei rolled her eyes knowing she also worried about them since in her eyes they were like her own daughters.

"Moving on, I would like someone to find Ingvild for me and bring her to me." Issei has no clue where she is and where to find her.

"Oh, leave that to me, Ise-tan!" Serafall excitedly said and received a nod from Issei. Their meeting continues with Issei asking for expansion of the business he formed after taking over the criminal in Kuoh. It would be a lot easier and Penemue decided to come in to manage the business.

Michael pondered if he should have brought her sister since she was one of Issei's women who was able to remain pure to Issei power and influence that defy the Heaven System.

Issei also began to talk about having a Sacred Gear System that shocked everyone, especially Michael asking how he was able to obtain it.

"I can't reveal it since it is my decision to do so. Regardless, I'm going to Heaven in the future to see if there will be a change to this." (Issei)

"Is that the only reason? Why about little Gabriel?" (Penemue)

"She should be fine in Heaven for now and I'm fine waiting so long she's safe. Also, I need to put my attention to you girls first, right?" (Issei )

They smiled hearing his words and smothered him again while Sirzechs smiled that his brother in law was still sane after all the things he had experienced.

"Right, would you like Grayfia to be by your side?"

Sirzech took her in as their Head maid of their family to keep her safe after the civil war. Many dislike his decision but it was the only way to keep her safe and had been close friends with his wife.

"I would love that, but at the moment our home is not the same and my parents would find it strange to have a maid all of sudden. Maybe a week or so until things are in the right place."

"Alright." Issei nodded, then recalled something and said.

"Oh right, Ajuka-san, hope you don't mind, can I have some Evil Pieces? I want to test something with it."

"That won't be a problem. Come by to my lab anytime. It's the least I can do for you."

After a while the meeting ended and everyone including Serafall left but not before giving Issei a passionate kiss that lasted for a few seconds.

"Make sure to call me often~😉✨" Issei nodded watching her left and Penemue remained by his side who smiled and Azazel and Shamhazai left them be.

"Wanna see, Valia?"

"You sure? Don't you think she'll ask me to fight her?"

"Fufufu, stop acting like you weren't planning to. Anyway, she's in the training grounds as usual."

"Geez, it's like what, 5 Am here!?"

The place of Grigori was closer to western region at the moment. In Japan it would be 10 Pm with a 7 hour difference.

Issei scratched his head worried about her but can't deny he wasn't doing the same thing the way he was currently training. As they headed their way, the fallen angel was curious who he was, especially being intimate to their chief secretary.

"Fine, bring me to her." Penemue gave an excited smile wrapping her arms around Issei and pulled him to where Valia presumably trains.

"Right, are you going to bring me your personal world? I want to spend my time catching up with you and…maybe have fun~?" She learned to whisper into his year making Issei smirk, pulling her closer.

"Careful now, you won't be walking for days if you wake up my dragon."

Penemue heated up by licking her lips and after a while they tried to the training facility where they got inside to find the place having been badly damaged from constant fighting.

Robots and monsters were littered on the ground and defeated and at the center was a young woman of average height with fair skin. She has short silver hair and magenta eyes. On her back was white metallic Dragon wings, with eight energy feathered wings.
