Chapter 25

(Here's the true chapter that truly comes from me and not copy & pasted one)

Megumin - Y-Yunyun?

Megumin called out to Yunyun because she can't believe what she's seeing.

Yunyun finally noticed Megumin. And she let go of Issei arm subconsciously because she's feeling embarrassed from being seen by her 'rival'.

Yunyun - M-Megumin?

Megumin - W-why were you clinging to Issei? And isn't that Wiz?

Aqua finally noticed Wiz and she screamed

Aqua - Ahhhhh! It's you! You damned undead!

Then she dashed towards Wiz wanting to get ahold of her but she got stopped in her track by Issei hand.

Issei - Oy... What did you call her just now?

Issei grabbed onto Aqua head and he asked that while giving her a smile but his eyes are not smiling at all.

If anything it started glowing brighter and Aqua feels choked by his bloodlust.

Issei doesn't put any force on his hold or Aqua's head might become an exploding watermelon right now.

Kazuma and Megumin who's seeing that are shivering fiercely while hugging each other.

They both are thinking 'Rest in pieces. Aqua!'.

Aqua is shivering and sweating furiously because she's really afraid right now.

She tried to form words but nothing came out from her mouth, she's feeling suffocated because of the sheer pressure.

While Darkness keep fidgeting because of Issei's the bloodlust Issei's emitting right now.

She never felt this kind of feeling before...

Then Wiz extends her hands toward Issei extended arm.

Issei stopped his pressure and look towards Wiz but there's no coldness in his eyes like how he looks toward Aqua only gentleness.

Wiz - U-um It's okay Ise-san. I don't mind being called like that by Aqua-sama.

Issei - But I do mind.

Wiz got taken aback by his answer. Then he continued saying:

Issei - I won't let anyone call you 'undead' nor 'damned undead'. You are not some damned undead. You are you. Wiz the Ice Witch. So don't degrade yourself, be proud of who you are. And not what you are.

Issei let go of Aqua's head and she slumped right into the ground while still shivering and taking deep breaths. She almost pissed herself but managed to hold it in.

Issei extends his hand toward Wiz and pulls her into a hug while his other hand cupped her face.

Issei - Didn't I told you before? You are beautiful. You are the woman, I. Issei Hyoudou come to love and choose as a lover. So be proud of yourself because none shall be allowed to insult you. For those who dare to insult you, I shall make them pay dearly. Okay?

He finishes his words with a gentle and caring look filled with love.

Wiz's eyes are blurred and her face is deeply blushed from his words and he can only meekly nodded like a shy wife in front of their husband.

After seeing her nod Issei smiled and kissed her forehead.

Wiz who got kissed in her forehead become even more red-faced and she buried her head on Issei's chest because she feels really embarrassed but also really happy.

And Issei chuckles a bit after seeing her like that.

Yunyun who saw their interaction only felt a little jealous because she's happy knowing that Issei treasures her woman dearly.

She has this happy smile on her face but also blushing a little.

Megumin and Darkness who saw this also went red-faced because they also get affected by Issei's word and their mouth are wide open.

Megumin - 'U-uwaaaaa~ so cool... I also want someone to whisper those kinds of love words to me.... Hah! Wait if Wiz is Issei's lover then that means Yunyun also...'

Then she looks towards Yunyun direction and saw her enamored look and she knew that Yunyun is also Issei's lover.

Megumin - 'Dammmitttttttt! To think that loner Yunyun can have a boyfriend before me! So irritatinggggg!'

Then she looked towards Kazuma and couldn't help feeling disappointed because they are too far apart!

One is a strong, cool, charming, and handsome looking guy while the others are a weak, lame and average looking guy without any capabilities.

Why is life so unfair!

She started to ruffle her hair because of the sheer irritation she felt.

What's on Darkness mind are: 'W-woww... To think I will witness a lover interaction at first hand, I can't say I'm not feeling a little bit jealous from seeing that. But I want to feel that bloodlust once more... I never felt that good before~ But I'm also afraid of getting killed! Oh~~ the dilemma... Is this a new play? It must be!'.

She started drooling and taking deep breaths like some pervert. (Well in a way she is a pervert)

Kazuma just feels awed by the words and action of Issei. And he started taking mental note in case he will get a girlfriend of his own.

So he can retell Issei's word to impress his girlfriend. (If he ever finds one)

Aqua still feeling out of it because she came into contact with Issei's bloodlust at point blank range.

Issei - Oy. You useless Goddess there.

Aqua - H-H-HAI!

Aqua voice is kinda squeaked because she got surprised by Issei suddenly calling her.

Issei - Apologize to Wiz. Now.

He give her the deadly glare.

Aqua doesn't waste any more words and just apologize towards Wiz while doing a perfect dogeza without caring about her dignity as a Goddess. (Not that she has one in the first place)

Aqua - IM REALLY SORRY!!!

Wiz finally pull her head out of Issei chest and hurriedly says

Wiz - I-It's fine. I forgive you Aqua-sama!

Issei then finally let it go, even though Wiz is still kinda meek but he won't try to change her personality.

-After a while-

Issei - Then? Why are you guys here?

Issei finally asked them.

They all finally remember why they were here in the first place except Darkness because she's not in debt.

M/A/K - PLEASE HELP US!

The three of them simultaneously bowed their head towards Issei.

Issei who's seeing that just exhale once more because he knew why they are asking him for help. Their debt...

Wiz is confused why they suddenly did this. While Yunyun can basically tell why they did this.

Issei - Tell me what have you been doing all this time...

Then they hesitate whether to tell him the truth or not...

But after seeing his glowing eyes they finally spill the beans...

What happened basically are they keep losing money because

Megumin keeps buying mana potion for her own use. Aqua keep buying booze. Kazuma is basically impossible to earn money on his own because of his class. Darkness can't help much either because she basically can't attack the monsters and only become a tank. Then they keep getting chased by the debt collector and finally, they can't take it anymore.

In summary, their outcome surpasses their income...

Issei just felt like leaving them to their own luck. But Yunyun keeps looking at his way with her 'puppy' eyes for some reason...

So Issei finally said: "Fine... I will help you clear some quests to pay for your debt but I want you to REALLY listen to me. Got it?"

M/A/K - THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Yunyun gives Issei a smile and Wiz is just amazed at their antics.

-SCENE SKIP-

When they want to take a Quest at the guild. Luna said they can't take any more Quests at the moment.

They asked her why.

Apparently, there's some anomaly happening nearby because the monsters around the city are leaving the area.

So they can't give out Quests because of that.

They can only relent because not even a goblin is spotted nearby, they are stumped because they don't have any Quest to do then they can't pay their debt.

3 of them become depressed but seeing Issei and Yunyun just taking it easy they couldn't help asking why they both are so relaxed.

Then Issei told them because they have already paid their debt from day 1.

Kazuma party couldn't help become dumbfounded hearing him already paid his debt along with Yunyun. It's 20 Million in total then how come they have already paid their debt?

Then they remembered that they both are a high-ranked adventurer.

So they asked how much profit they have at the moment...

Issei calmly told them around 10 Billion Eris. (Not counting Yunyun)

They become stupefied hearing his profit, even Darkness who's from the noble household also taken aback because his profit is even higher than most noble household out there.

Even Wiz is surprised hearing her boyfriend profit. But she's happy that the man she loves is very capable.

Kazuma asked Issei if he's actually from a royalty somewhere, and the others also couldn't help doubting him for this.

Except for Yunyun because she knows how he gets all that money.

So after a bit of explanation, they finally find out about the truth.

All of them become surprised that Issei is actually the "Tyrant Overlord" which is famous around the city especially among the adventurer.

Even Kazuma best friend Dust keep telling him not to mess with the "Tyrant" or he will take a lot of "Vacation" just like him.

And They are glad because they never really cross the line at Issei or they might be forced to take a "Vacation" like the others.

Well, Aqua almost take a permanent "Vacation" if not for Wiz forgiveness, and for the first time in her life, Aqua truly felt thankful towards someone else...

Wiz also a bit surprised but she doesn't really care what others call her boyfriend because she knows his true personality well. He's not some brute who will attack people for no reason he's portrayed as.

He's her perfect boyfriend who's gentle and caring.

Yunyun doesn't know anything about the "Tyrant Overlord" because she never really separate from Issei, even if she did people are staying away from her because they are afraid to earn the "Tyrant" ire... So she never heard anything about his title or the history behind it.

Then Kazuma, Megumin, and Aqua begged Issei to hire them.

Finally after some begging Issei agreed to let them work as his servants on his mansion.

And when they saw his mansion they all become stupefied because of its size.

Issei doesn't need to remind Kazuma not to mess with Yunyun or Wiz because he's not some idiot who will challenge death itself.

Issei learned some spells from Wiz as well.

He's able to learn her <Ice Magic> and <Explosion>.

As for the rest of her skills, it's not useful for Issei.

Her <Drain Touch> is basically the inferior version of his <Life and Death> skills. And he can already absorb mana from his surrounding without needing to touch another person.

Issei tweaked his newly earned skills a little bit such as <Explosion> he infused the skill with his Dragon <Aura> and it evolved into <Dragon Explosion>.

He becomes quite surprised that he's able to evolve the skills he had just by infusing it with his <Aura>, he combined <Ice Magic> with his <Life and Death> Aura and he created a <Frost Nova> spell.

He tried to infuse it with his Dragon <Aura> he's able to make <Ice Dragon Breath> skill with it.

After that, he experimented some more to see if any of his other skills can be evolved.

He infused the <Physical Enforcement> with his <Aura> and he evolved it.

He can now cover his body with his own Dragon <Aura> and it's called <Armament Haki>, while his <Enemy Detection> skill evolved into <Observation Haki>. (As for <Emperor Haki> he can already do it ever since he can control his <Aura> like the bloodlust/pressure he emits towards others).
