Issei's Confession 3

"Don't call me that here," Yuuki said.

"It isn't like you hide it from the public right now, right?" Azazel said.

"You aren't wrong but sometimes people will miss such a detail," Yuuki said.

"that's true, but it's still easier to know your identity since you have come to your girlfriend here," Azazel said.

"Is there something that you want to talk about with me?" Yuuki asked.

Azazel nodded, "That's right, do you know Slash Dog?"

Yuuki felt that he had heard it somewhere but he shook his head, "I don't know."

"Slash Dog is part of my organization," Azazel said proudly.

"So isn't this the only group of fallen angels?" Yuuki asked.

"That's where you're wrong, the leader of this group is human," Azazel said.

"Human, eh? Is he a Longinus user?" Yuuki asked.

Azazel nodded, "That's right, he is the user of Canis Lykaon."

"Canis Lykaon? Is it a dog or something?" Yuuki felt that this name was similar to a dog.

"That's right, this Longinus is a big black dog," Azazel said.

"So what is your purpose for telling me that information?" Yuuki asked.

"I'm not asking you to join, but how about you see them," Azazel said, adding, "You should add more friends to this supernatural world."

"You don't need to worry about that," Yuuki shook his head, "But maybe I will visit Grigori since my father-in-law is there."

"Oh, I'm sure that Baraqiel will be very happy, he is crying when he saw his daughter in the match before," Azazel started to tell him about his father-in-law.

Yuuki nodded while listening to his story but he didn't want to stay too long, "Kuroka has been waiting for me, I need to go back."

"Alright, but you need to be careful with both Hades and Indra," Azazel said.

"Oh, I have met Indra before," Yuuki said.

"Whaat?! Why you didn't tell me?!" Azazel was very scared when he heard him meeting with Indra.

"Why are you so surprised? There were a lot of people watching that match and I met him by chance and he wasn't that bad in my opinion," Yuuki said.

"That's because you're human, if you're a devil, I'm sure he will show contempt," Azazel said.

"And if you're a fallen angel," Yuuki shook his head and said, "I'm not sure what you did millions of years ago to make both of them hate you to the core."

Azazel only shook his head, "There is a lot of things happening but we're in a peaceful situation right now."

"But even though we're at peace there are a lot of people who can't accept that situation," Yuuki said while crossing his arms.

"And that is why we need to stop them," Azazel said while looking at him.

Yuuki only shrugged, "Well, that's true, peace is nice since I can focus on my job and have fun with my family."

"Family, eh? Not a girlfriend?" Azazel laughed.

"Don't tease me, I'm not Issei, I'm not going to blush," Yuuki said.

"You're very cruel to add him to this situation," Azazel shook his head.

"Still, I'm not sure but I have the feeling that he will be rejected by her," Yuuki shook his head.

"Then how about we make a bet?" Azazel said.

"Hoo?" Yuuki was interested.

"If you win, I will give you my artificial sacred gear," Azazel said.

"I'm not interested in your fakes," Yuuki said.

"Don't call it fake, I'm quite hurt," Azazel said with a sad expression.

"Still, I don't have any interest in such a lame bet, but I can help you with the research since your faction is the weakest among the three factions," Yuuki said.

"Who is weak?!" Azazel was very annoyed.

"Isn't that true? In the Devil Faction, they have Four Satans and Angel Faction, they have Four Seraphs," Yuuki said.

"Still, we can invite someone out of the angel," Azazel said in an argument.

"Then isn't this peaceful meeting useless when you keep inviting someone from the angel faction?" Yuuki said.

"....."

Azazel was speechless, "But my faction isn't the weakest!"

"Alright, you don't need to pout, you're an old man and not a girl, it's disgusting," Yuuki said.

"Have people ever told you that you're really rude?" Azazel felt that he was very mad right now.

"Oh, don't be too tight, let me treat you a strawberry cake or something," Yuuki said and wrapped his hand on his shoulder.

Azazel only sighed at him.

Both of them went back to the Occult Research Club and joined with everyone there.

---

Yuuki was still in the Kuoh School until the school festival was over. He had also toured around this school together with both Koneko, Kuroka, and Akeno. He wasn't sure but Xenovia also followed him in the middle of their outing.

They joined the dance event in the outdoors until they walked silently toward the Occult Research Club.

Everyone was waiting for Issei to confess his love for Rias Gremory.

"Ah, can you move for a bit, I want to listen to them," Irina said.

"I can't listen to their conversations," Asia said.

"Everyone, please calm down," Kiba said.

"Shhh," Yuuki said to everyone. He felt that it was better for Issei to be accepted by Rias since it was funnier that way.

They nodded and placed their ears right into the door listening to the conversation of both Rias and Issei.

"Thank you, Issei, I'm very happy that you have called my name."

"T - then, R - Rias...."

"But, please wait for a while, during the battle a few days ago, I have realized that I have been useless, I can't help you, I can't help everyone, I want us to be together but not right now....."

"......."

They weren't sure how to respond to this situation. Everyone who had eavesdropped on their conversation thought that the confession would be very smooth but they didn't expect such a curveball to suddenly appear.

'It's just too unexpected!'

They thought inwardly listening to their conversation.

"For now, please wait....."

"......"

"Rias, I will wait for you."

"Thank you."

They looked at each other.

"Let's go back," Akeno said.

They nodded and walked back quietly, hopefully, the fallen warrior would wake after this war.

Yuuki looked at Irina and Asia hopefully both of them would help him.
