Past Chapter 1: Aki Nijou

(AN: A little reminder, for those who feel bored with my fanfic feel free to drop it since this fanfic is technically already finished during the epilogue chapter. No need to force yourself to read my fanfic 😅. As for a new novel, I don't have any plans on creating a new one yet.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the chapter. God bless all of you and your family).

"What do you think, sister?" Roxanne asked Shirayuki while they're in their private balcony inside the headmaster room.

"A few of them are quite promising but the rest is not so much," Shirayuki replied while stirring her tea: "Although, it's quite commendable that none of them lose their lives and got away with only some injuries."

"Hmm, is that so? Well, some of them are indeed not really that talented but as father always said..."

""What matters the most is not talent or potential but rather hard work."" The two of them said at the same time.

They looked at each other and let out a slight chuckle.

Their father repetitively reminded them that even though they have outstanding talent or potential, that doesn't mean they should slack off.

Only if combined with hard work will their potential bloom properly. If not, it will be nothing more than a decoration.

"I know what you meant, sister... I'm just saying that those who are more talented seem to be acting quite arrogant for their own sake." Shirayuki explained.

"I see... Well, that could be a positive thing actually. It should create a competitive environment for the students. And if they couldn't handle the pressure, then they should quit early on rather than wasting their time here." Roxanne said nonchalantly.

"Um, agreed... By the way, where are Ryuko and Satsuki? I didn't see them at the opening ceremony earlier..." Shirayuki asked.

"Who knows?" Roxanne said with a shrug: "They most likely went on a stroll somewhere."

"Those two are really..." Shirayuki heaved a sigh: "Why can't they be obedient just like the rest of our sisters..."

"But that's what makes them fun, don't you think?" Roxanne chuckled: "You can rest easy, sister. No matter how mischievous they are, they will never bring shame upon our dear father's name."

"Well... I suppose you're right." Shirayuki nodded reluctantly.

While her little sisters are often act mischievous, they've never really done things that could bring shame upon their father's name.

"Speaking of shame... I heard Erza's twin self just lose against a dragon king wannabe." Roxanne said while sipping her tea.

"Oh, that Erza, huh..." Shirayuki said after a little bit of thinking.

"Should we go pay her world a visit and see just what kind of dragon she's dealing with?" Roxanne suggested.

"No need. Erza is already there." Shirayuki shook her head.

With their little sister who's basically amongst the strongest over there, they don't need to feel worried in the slightest.

Their sister Erza is totally a battle junky. She would even challenge their dad whenever she had the chance to do so... Obviously, she and the others always lose and their dad never really initiated any attack on his own.

He will only block their move and smiles dotingly at them seemingly proud of their progress.

Only their mothers are the ones who would actually attack them in their mock battle... Especially their mother Scathach who will always take things seriously whenever they had their training session with her.

"And according to her and Irene kaa-sama's twin, that dragon is not really a full-fledged dragon. She said that he was a human who turned into a Dragon... Similar to dearest father but their process is completely different." Shirayuki said.

"Ah, no wonder he dares to proclaim himself as the True Dragon King." Roxanne nodded in realization.

No sane full-pledged Dragon would proclaim themselves to be the True Dragon King.

"Well, setting Erza aside... Let's see about the others, maybe I could "recruit" another reincarnator to be one of our employees..." Roxanne said with a shrug.

Roxanne opened her phone and started to read the latest information about her sisters' situation.

Shirayuki only calmly sips her tea while heaving a sigh at her little sister.

Roxanne being a "reincarnator" is not really a secret in the family...

They tried asking their mother Semiramis once in the past but she only laughed gently saying: 'That's because of your father, dear... Your father's soul is a bit "special", you see...'

Remember that Issei has lived his first and second life as a God.

He doesn't inherit his memories on his third reincarnation because of Nyarlathotep.

If that's not enough, even on his third life so to speak, he keeps facing the world filled with paranormal stuff. Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels... Forzelotte herself, then Semiramis, and so on...

The amount when he comes into contact with "Death" itself is quite numerous. Technically, he already died multiple times in his third life.

It's a given that his descendant might be affected by his special circumstances.

When they realize that Roxanne is affected by his "influence". It is too late to do anything else...

Semiramis herself is too afraid of messing with their children's souls and the same goes for them.

Only after they saw the state of the newborn Roxanne that they notice her abnormality.

But, in the end, Issei nor the others care about any of this.

It doesn't matter if she's a reincarnator or not. What matters the most is that she's one of their family members and that's that.

Their other children don't share Roxanne's fate since they're well prepared this time.

They don't want their children to be burdened by their past lives memories.

Roxanne is the only special case.

"By the way, sister... If I remember correctly, you have some knowledge about this academy, don't you?" Roxanne asked: "This academy was for those who have special strength, wasn't it?"

"Um, I was there when dearest father is coronated to be this academy new chairman... It was quite a sight if I might say." Shirayuki said in reminiscence.

"Care to share it with me?"

"Well, I wasn't here from the start... We can ask Minori nee-chan about it. Minori nee-chan, wake up, please or I will tell on dearest father that you're lazing around." Shirayuki tilted her head before she called out to the sleeping woman on the sofa on the corner of the room.

"Wuh, what?" The woman becomes startled awake when she heard Shirayuki's words.

The woman named Minori has long dark pink hair that is kept in a high ponytail by a black ribbon and brown-orange eyes. She wears an orange-like tracksuit with white stripes on the sides and a pair of slippers.

"I'm awake, I'm awake!" She shouted while still half awake.

"*Sigh* Stop acting diligent only when dearest father is around, Minori nee-chan..." Shirayuki said with a sigh.

"Ugh, leave me alone..." She groaned.

"Now, Minori nee-chan. Care to share the story of how dearest father came to take over this academy?"

"Huh? Why do you want to hear that story? Why don't you ask your dad directly instead?" Minori responded while scratching her head.

"Dearest father is busy, unlike a certain someone," Roxanne said with a snicker.

"You brat... Fine fine, I'll tell you about it... And stop calling me nee-chan. I'm about to be one of your mother, you know?" Minori snorted at them.

""No, you're not."" The two of them said at the same time.

"Cheh! Just you wait! Anyway, it goes like this..." Minori then told them about the past on how Issei take over this academy...

...

"Hmm, so this is your home?" Issei looked at the traditional Japanese house in front of him.

The house is quite big so it can be seen that Aki's family is rich. There are tall walls surrounding the house and besides the main building, there was also a courtyard on it. Not only there was a huge Koi fish pond, but there was also a large area full of bamboo and an open area with a variety of flowers and plants.

The house in the center area was also very huge, and the exteriors were all in the traditional wooden corridor and paper door design.

"U-Um." Beside Issei, Aki fidgetted on the spot feeling nervous.

It's been a while since she met her family.

She was transported to another world in the past and had no way back.

Thankfully only one year passed on her world. But it still worries her a lot and she's certain that her mother and friends are looking for her feeling extremely worried.

She only has one mother and no other siblings. But her grandparents are still alive living together with them.

Her father died early leaving the two of them behind but thankfully they inherited his assets and her mother is also a great businesswoman so they don't have any difficulties during their lives.

Issei who sensed her nervousness smiled softly and proceed to hold her hand.

"Ah..." Aki's body jolted slightly feeling his touch.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here with you," Issei said softly.

"U-Um." Aki becomes less tense and smiled back at him.

A beautiful ring can be seen glistening brightly on her ring finger.

They're not officially married yet but Aki has become Issei's fiancee and they're here to ask for her mother's blessing.

There's no way she could get married without informing her family.

After taking a deep breath, Aki steeled herself and walked forward hand in hand with Issei...

Needless to say, there's a huge commotion inside the house seeing the young lady of the house has finally returned...

...

Issei smiled warmly seeing Aki interacting with her family... They're currently hugging each other while shedding some tears.

They're currently seated in a tatami room. The room is very spacious and filled with traditional Japanese decorations.

As expected, since it's a tatami room, Issei has to sit in a seiza position. Since he himself is Japanese, he doesn't have any problem doing this.

Aki couldn't say anything else other than "Sorry." while sobbing softly within her mother's embrace.

Her family doesn't seem to be blaming her at all and only feels happy that she managed to return safely...

"Ojii-sama, Obaa-sama, Okaa-sama... Let me introduce you to my f-fiancee." After a while, Aki wiped her tears and started to introduced Issei while blushing shyly.

"Oh my..." Her mother gasped in amazement after seeing Issei.

Issei is wearing a formal suit which is normally worn by a man who wanted to propose and the suit itself is nothing really special... But because the one who's wearing them is far from normal, his form instantly captivated her.

Aki's mother is a great woman who has seen her fair share of worldly views but this is the first time for her to see a man like Issei... His otherworldly feature aside, the way he carries himself is nothing but flawless.

Aki's mother looks very similar to her daughter albeit she has this much more mature aura surrounding her and her hair is tied in a bun. She's wearing a black kimono with a floral design that wrapped around her body tightly and it could be seen that Aki inherited her mother's bountiful breasts with just a glance.

While she's already in her forties, she looks like she's in her late twenties instead.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Issei Savant Hyoudou. I've been in the care of Aki for a while now... I'm currently dating her with the intention of marrying her. I might be lacking in many ways but I hope you can give us your blessing." Issei introduced himself and bowed deeply at Aki's mother and grandparents.

"Oh, no need to be so formal, child. Get up, get up... Sorry for not noticing you earlier." Her grandparents smiled kindly at Issei while nodding to themselves.

What a well-mannered and graceful man they thought to themselves.

Even though they're already in their seventies, they seem to still be brimming with life.

They also share some similarities with Aki but not as much as her mother.

"A-Aki... I-Is this true?" After snapping out of her daze, Aki's mother, whose name is Kasumi Nijou looked at her daughter in surprise.

"U-Um..." Aki nodded shyly while showing her mother their engagement ring.

After gazing at the ring for a few moments, Kasumi heaved a sigh and look straight at Issei's eyes.

Issei calmly met her gaze.

"...Is what you said true? Are you truly serious about my daughter?" She asked seriously.

"Yes." Issei answered without hesitation.

"..."

"..."

After staring at each other for a whole minute, Kasumi finally smiled happily: "Then I'll leave my daughter in your hands."

"Understood, I will protect her with all my life." Issei smiled back.

Kasumi's expression stagnated for a few seconds after seeing his smile before she regained her bearings back and looked at her smiling daughter.

"Looks like your disappearance was a blessing in disguise, Aki... Who would've thought that you would bring home an outstanding man with you." Kasumi said teasingly while putting her right hand on her cheek: "And here I was feeling worried that you might not be able to find a man on your own, so I wanted to set up a few blind dates for you but it looks like it won't be necessary anymore."

"O-Okaa-sama..." Aki becomes further embarrassed at her mother's teasing.

She didn't bother to ask about Issei's occupation and his background.

She only cares for her daughter's happiness. If her daughter loves him and he loves her then that's all that matters...

But obviously, Issei won't come here empty-handed.

"This might be not much as a dowry gift but please accept it." Issei took out a large exquisite box that contains pieces of jewelry and money.

"Oh, you don't need to do this child... We're all family here..." Aki's grandfather smiled kindly at his gesture.

They didn't bother checking his gift and only calmly set it aside.

"Come child, have you eaten yet? Our Nijou family secret recipe is quite a delicacy and I'm sure you will like it." Her grandmother said next: "Aki, would you please bring him to the dining room?"

"Hai, obaa-sama." Aki nodded still feeling shy over the whole situation.

"Then, sorry to be a bother." Issei bowed once again while still retaining his smile.

He was thinking of taking out some food that he brought along with him as another gift but finally decided not to.

It would be rude of him for not accepting his in-laws' hospitality. Besides, he's not picky about food.

The jewelry he gifted to them is not a piece of normal jewelry. They've been enchanted by him and those jewelries would bring luck and grant protection to the whole house along with its inhabitants.

If they wear it, the effect will be even greater and it's quite safe to say that they would practically become invincible.

There is also some rare metal from Aki's world that he brought with him which could be sold for billions.

Aki's world is not really a normal world and there's a presence of divine energy and the like.

According to her, they utilize a tool called <Maken>, which are known as the vessels created when gods are born. As such, they were originally only used by the gods whose birth led to their creation.

Of course, Issei has already known this beforehand since while Aki couldn't really create a Maken of her own in the past, she has some knowledge about it.

She concluded that <Maken> isn't as powerful as the Divine and Magical tool that they have back in the <Netherworld> so they didn't really dwell on it that much.

And coincidentally, <Maken> is also the cause of her "disappearance".

Aki herself isn't really a scientist per say... she's more of a doctor if anything. Her <Maken> enables her to see all damage done to the people in her vision.

With the combination of her new friends and colleagues, which are Tearju and Mikado, Aki's <Maken> has been upgraded enabling her to see a flaw within their creations so far.

It's also one of the reasons why they're so successful and managed to catch Issei's attention. The other reason is obviously because of Yami.

Issei had lunch while having small talk with Aki's family members. While there areonly 5 of them in the dining room, it doesn't feel lonely in the slightest especially when the young lady of the house has just returned and she even brought back an outstanding fiancee with her...

Kasumi couldn't but nod and nod again whenever she holds a conversation with Issei. She's very satisfied with this son-in-law of hers... His talent in business is very great and it might even surpass hers, she often forgot that she's having a conversation with someone younger than her and instead treated Issei as her equal.

She feels proud of her daughter for managing to score such an outstanding man for herself... But she's also feeling slightly jealous...

Aki's grandparents couldn't stop smiling seeing how sensible Issei is and they couldn't wait to hold their first great-grandchildren.

Aki who's at Issei's side becomes enamored at Issei all over again seeing how he interact with her family members... Oh wait, it's their family now, isn't it? Aki couldn't help but blush at her thought.

Issei and Aki spend the whole day conversing with them...

...

When night falls, Issei and Aki are given the same room.

Aki's mother's message to her was "Mom can't wait to hold my first grandchild, you two better work hard~". It looks like the three of them share the same thought...

The moment Aki heard this, her whole body becomes red in embarrassment.

So the two of them are alone within Aki's room.

Aki is extremely shy and nervous but also filled with anticipation although she won't say it out loud.

Meanwhile, Issei is looking around the room nodding to himself thinking that the room is quite homely and not overly decorated.

While the floor is still tatami floored, the bed itself is a normal bed and not a futon. Although there's a few futons stashed in the nearby closet just in case.

When he turns his head towards Aki, he saw that she's currently sneaking a peek at him with a blush.

When she realizes that Issei is looking at her, she hastily averted her gaze feeling even more flustered.

Issei blinked twice before he smiled softly at her.

Issei took a seat beside Aki and whispered: "Shall we fulfill mother-in-law's request?"

Aki who heard his words froze entirely before her entire skin turned pink.

Issei who saw this chuckled thinking that his little fiancee sure is easily embarrassed even though they've already slept together before.

Issei suddenly pulled Aki's body into his embrace and put her into his lap making Aki yelped in surprise: "Eep!" But she doesn't resist his advance in the slightest. If anything she snuggled deeper feeling greedy of his warmth...

She sat on his lap completely obedient like a little kitten.

Issei's smelled the indescribable fragrance of a mature woman's scent at a close range and his libido slowly rises up.

Almost forcibly, he lifted her head with his hand, and then his lips tightly pressed against her as tender and as beautiful red peach blossom lips.

From the almost rough beginning, Issei gradually became very gentle in his plunder.

Careful and gentle like tasting the most delicious thing, he savored her little fiancee's delicate lips.

Their tongues were constantly and incessantly tangled up inside their mouth, like a pair of tightly wound, writhing little snakes.

When Aki felt she was going to melt, Issei suddenly put his hand inside her clothes, and then slowly moving upward along the smooth and creamy skin. She suddenly felt her heart beating like a drum.

But before she could adapt, Issei's other hand probed into her skirt.

"Ah!" Aki let out another gasp of surprise.

Her whole body is trembling like a newborn fawn inducing pity to those who saw her but Issei felt further aroused instead. His domineering side slightly surged out seeing the submissive woman in his embrace...

His right hand arrived at her huge, well-rounded yet firm, and perky abundant K-cup breasts. Just like when he tasted her luscious lips, he carefully played with them. Sometimes he would grasp it with some force and sometimes he would pinch her cherry nub.

Aki felt like she was going crazy, the pleasure kept on expanding like tides until she unconsciously moaned out loud forgetting their surroundings. Even worse, through the thin cotton fabric, Issei's hand feels like they're filled with electricity, constantly caressing and playing with her most intimate private part.

The entire room is filled with Aki's moan of pleasure... She has completely given her entire body up to Issei to do as he wishes. She's his prisoner for eternity and she doesn't hate that idea in the slightest bit...

She lifted both of her arms and put them behind her beloved lover's neck so that he could grant easier access to her mesmerizing breasts.

Issei who saw this once again captured her lips with his own and he hugged her even harder from behind. At the same time, his hand doesn't stop moving.

After just a few seconds, Aki's whole body started spasming slightly and her hips bucked wildly under Issei's constant caressing... A stream of liquid flowed from her lower part staining her panties and some even dropped onto the bed below them.

Issei stopped his movement and smiled at the panting Aki.

He slowly undresses her clothes one by one starting from the top... Aki is still in her delirious state so she doesn't realize what Issei is currently doing and even if she does, she couldn't resist.

Her bountiful breasts are exposed in the open the instant Issei removed her bra. Issei slides down her black panty just right below her hips but he doesn't take them off completely. And once he's done, Aki is left only with her black lingerie and stocking...

Even when she's practically naked, she still doesn't react.

Issei takes off his clothes as well using his magic.

He lifted Aki's body slightly and aimed his raging spear into Aki's lower part... Once he positioned them right, he slowly lowered Aki's body...

"Ahn!" Aki yelped in surprise and she finally snapped out of her daze after a foreign object entered her lower body.

"I-Ise-san..." She moaned.

"Mm?" Issei hummed acting clueless.

"D-Don't..." She whispered.

"Don't what?" While still acting clueless he lightly pushed his hips upward making Aki moan once more.

"U-Uuuu... P-Please, Ise-san... I-I'm still too s-sensitive... I-If you move now, I-I will go crazy..." Aki whimperingly said.

Issei's body froze for a moment before he lowered his head and whispered huskily: "Don't you know, Aki... The more you act like this, the more I feel aroused."

"Eh?" Without letting Aki catch on to his words just now, Issei let go of his hold over her body letting her swallow his entire length whole.

Aki let out a strangled whimper and she almost passes out just now but Issei suddenly started moving his hips wildly.

The whole room is once again filled with Aki's helpless charming moan filled with pleasure.

Thankfully Issei already put up a sound barrier preventing anyone outside the barrier to hear his lover's moan.

At first, Aki was still feeling reserved but finally, she couldn't endure the endless assault from her lover and finally decided to let go.

Her moan grew even louder and she even started to move on her own while Issei has already stopped moving his hips a while ago.

She gathered up her strength, tensed her limbs, then pushed herself upward, her lower mouth tightening with great force making Issei feeling amazed at her tightness. Before she could completely clear his tip, she slammed back down, impaling herself willingly with nothing but a small grunt. Aki rose again, repeating her previous motion, then slammed back down.

Up, down. Up. Down. The bed started squeaking loudly as Aki swung her booty up and down like a piston. Her fervor, like an engine, had her rhythm surge, such that she could spit out and swallow his monster cock in close to a second's time. Her eyes had a wild, lustful look on them as she took every inch of him every couple of seconds.

Gone was the timid and reserved woman and what replaces it is a woman lost in carnal pleasure.

Issei looked at Aki's glistening back which is filled with sweat and becomes further captivated at her sight. Not so often he could see this side of hers... But when he does, he would become mesmerized all over again.

He extended both of his hands forward and grasped both of her bountiful breasts and started playing with it once again.

"I-Ise san, Ise-san, Ise-san...!" Aki moaned his name again and again while completely lost in the sea of pleasure: "I love you, I love you, I love yo- mmmhh!"

Amidst her moan, Issei captured her lips while both of his hands are still playing with her heavenly breasts. Aki's hips never stopped moving as if they're on autopilot trying to reach that peak of pleasure she has been craving for... And after a few humping, she finally reaches that peak once again.

And after a mere few moments, she finally reached it.

Like a machine suddenly going haywire, her body convulsed, her pussy squeezing tighter and tighter around him forcing Issei to reach the climax as well but not before he pushed her body down and pushing his hips upwards for one final thrust.

She came... Loud. Strong. Gushing. But Issei also doesn't lose out. He pumps her womb full of his essence staining and marking it completely as his... As if he was never satisfied just marking it once or the one before that, he would keep marking it again and again until the end of time.

The <ECH> mark on top of Aki's bubbly butt glows brightly in crimson signaling the deep love Issei has for her and her undying loyalty to him.

Her body surged with the power of his essence and Aki's body greedily absorb all that energy.

"..." Aki whimpered and threw her head back with her tongue sticking out gasping for air. Her body would occasionally twitch.

After a while, Issei finally finished his ejaculation, causing him to leave her inside with a loud, and potent pop. It didn't take long for a river of his cum to escape, pooling at the base of her crotch like a newfound water source. Now overflowing, the rest of the cum spills downward staining the bed below them...

Issei stroked his semi-conscious wife's head dotingly and hugged her body close with his other arm...

Aki smiled foolishly feeling his touch. Every time she's inside his embrace, she would feel safe, warm, loved, and blissful... She struggled to turn her body around and wrapped her arms around her lover's, nay, her husband's back lovingly ignoring the stream of white liquid on her lower body.

"...D-Did I... Mm... M-Manage to satisfy you... Haah... Ise-san...?" She muttered while breathing heavily.

"Um... You did." Issei nodded with a loving smile.

"E-Ehehe, I'm glad..." She giggled like a little child.

"...But Aki..." Issei's eyes gained a mischievous glint and he whispered: "You should know that only doing it once is not enough for me..." He ended his words before giving her reddened ear a light nip.

"!!!" Aki's body jolted before she faces downward: "...I-If husband wanted to... th-then, Aki is more than willing to accompany him..." She muttered submissively in a low voice.

"You naughty girl... Making it as if I'm the one who doesn't want to stop after doing it once." Issei said with a teasing smile.

"..." Aki doesn't say anything in return but her already flushed face becomes even more flushed implying that she indeed still hasn't had enough.

That night was doomed to be a restless night for the two of them... and one extra person in hiding.

Issei doesn't realize this person's presence since he was too focused on his little wife and when he does realize it, he froze for a moment before smiling wryly to himself... How should he handle this? Feigning ignorance of course!

And the soundproof barrier he cast this time only blocks sound from coming out from the barrier not stopping anyone from entering. But he would've realized someone entering the barrier.

It just happens that the "extra" is located right at the border of the barrier when he spread it out hence why she could hear everything clearly and not feel anything out of place... Meaning that this "extra" was already nearby from the start.

Thankfully Aki's <Mark> is located on her back and she happens to be facing her front when the <Mark> is glowing. Well, not that it would be too much trouble since they could just say that the <Mark> is a new type of <Maken> or whatnot.

Even his disappearing clothes could be explained with <Maken> ability.

The "extra" only left after the two lovebirds fell "asleep". Actually, Issei still wanted to continue but seeing that it's getting very late, Aki seems so tired, and they're in her family's house, AND out of concern for the "extra" well-being, he reluctantly stopped their lovemaking...

Aki is too exhausted to notice the "extra" and she fell asleep straight away.

In the "extra" previous spot, a large puddle of water could be seen...

...

When Aki woke up, her eyes immediately saw on her right-hand side Issei smilingly looked at her with hands resting behind his head.

Before her shyness even shows up, he suddenly held her in his arms.

Listening to his strong heartbeat and broad chest, Aki felt a serene mood.

Feeling her bountiful breasts crushing against his chest, Issei felt his libido slowly rising up once more and he couldn't help but give her butt a little pinch.

"I-Ise san..." She weakly muttered.

"Morning sleepy head... Did you enjoy our last night together?" Issei said with a grin.

Aki feels so embarrassed now that she finally realizes that they're not at the <Netherworld> anymore... The thought of her mother and grandparents hearing her moan from last night almost made her die out of embarrassment.

Seeing her embarrassed state, Issei consoled her by saying: "Don't worry, I've already put a sound barrier around our room last night. No one should've heard you." But he added secretly inside his mind, 'Except for a certain someone that is...'

Aki secretly heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, completely oblivious that they have an "audience" last night.

"...Wh-What time is it..." She asked trying to change the subject of the conversation.

"10 A.M." Issei said.

"Ah?! So late!?" Aki jerked in shock but soon she hissed slightly sensing a numbing pain on her lower body. While it's bearable for the most part, it stills aches a little bit.

She looks teary eyedly at Issei feeling wronged.

"Fool, didn't you able to use your magic to heal yourself." Issei said with a chuckle.

Only when he mentioned this that Aki remembers that she could use magic now...

"But if you're unwilling to leave the bed... How about I heal it for you and we can have a little quickie?" He whispered evilly.

Aki blushed to the root of her neck and she practically dashed out of the bed into the bathroom leaving behind the laughing Issei on the bed.

Issei stopped laughing and looked at a certain spot before smiling wryly... There's no water puddle anymore and the place seems clean as if there's nothing taken place there before but with his enhanced smell, he could still smell some of its lingering scents.

Issei finally shook his head and decided to just continue feigning ignorance about the whole ordeal... He sat up from the bed and went after Aki into the bathroom.

After a few seconds, another rough breathing sound resounded...

Thankfully this time it doesn't take long and soon the two of them come out feeling refreshed. Well, only for Issei since his whole face is beaming with satisfaction while Aki's face is completely red and her knees are slightly shivering.

Aki felt like requesting for an S.O.S back to the <Netherworld> but soon erased the idea since they're basically on their honeymoon right now.

The two of them then went to the dining room hand in hand...

On the dining table, Kasumi is looking at the two of them with a face full of smiles.

Aki somehow felt something is wrong and started to fidget in her seat whereas Issei continues to feign ignorance despite his mother-in-law's gaze on him.

...

Since Aki's home is located in Kyoto. In the past few days, they visited Lake Biwa, Sagano, Sanjusangendo, Nishi-Honganji Temple, Kiyomizu Temple, Ginkaku Temple, Arashiyama, Kinkakuji, and several other famous tourist attractions of this world.

While the same places exist in Issei's Japan, it's always quite interesting to spot a different architecture or history.

Issei easily bought a few cars and used them as yet another gift to his in-laws.

The corner of Kasumi's mouth started to twitch uncontrollably seeing the array of expensive cars before her. Even though their family is rich, to buy a luxurious car such as Ferrari and Bugatti on a whim is not something she could do on a whim... And yet here they are parked neatly in their garage.

Just... just how rich this son-in-law of his? Thinking of the dowry he gave the other day, Kasumi hastily opens the box and almost faint at the sight of the rare metal and gemstones inside it.

The metal is only as big as a ping pong ball but their net worth is enormous. Even their company might not be able to procure this kind of rare metal...

The pieces of jewelry and gemstones aside, just one metal inside the box is more than enough to buy more than 10% of their company's share. And there's a few hundred of them inside!

She felt like her world turned upside down holding the box in her hands.

Not only her son-in-law is so devilishly handsome, but he's also filthy rich!

She couldn't help but feel proud of her daughter's being able to score such a man for himself once again.

Aki's grandparents couldn't smile any wider or their mouth might rip open because of how happy they are... Happy not because they obtained a lot of riches, but happy because their granddaughter's life would be an easy sail from now on.

One day, the two lovebirds went into a kimono shop to buy a wedding kimono for Aki.

Since Aki's family is a very traditional family, it's a given that she would be wearing a wedding kimono dress.

At first, Tio and Tilt volunteered to make the dress for Aki but she refuses, saying that she wanted to have some memento of her original world. Tio and Tilt nodded understandingly at her wish.

In the Kimono shop, all eyes are glued on the two lovebirds the moment they entered the shop.

The men drooled at Aki's sight and the women drooled at Issei's sight.

Seeing that the two of them are clearly lovers, they sighed in jealousy.

When Aki came out from the dressing room wearing a set of brightly colored gorgeous flower Kimono wedding dress.

"Ise-san, what do you think about this set?" Aki whispered to her sweetheart.

When the other customers saw her, they dropped whatever they're holding being completely dumbfounded.

Some of them who have a weak resistance directly have a nosebleed.

Even the shop owner is flabbergasted and she's a woman!

The way the kimono tightly hug her bodacious body immediately tempted the men to commit a crime but a single glare from Issei immediately extinguishes that thought.

Just looking at their car outside is more than enough to serve as a signal for them that these two couples are not someone to be messed with.

Issei then went over to hold Aki's shoulders to take a closer look for a moment before he smiled and then said: "Mm, as expected. No matter what dress you wear, you will always look beautiful, Aki." He comes closer and whispers: "If we're at home right now, I would love to have a taste of you in that dress."

Aki suddenly blushed and bowed her head and rapidly retreated to the dressing room feeling extremely shy.

And even when she comes out once again, her face is still red and she doesn't dare to look Issei in the eyes.

Issei shook his head slightly while smiling and then he extended his hand to which Aki happily grasped. They left the kimono shop hand in hand just like when they first arrived...

After leaving the kimono shop, they drive back home under the envious gaze of a group of onlookers...

They decided that they would marry in a year since Aki said that she wanted to help her best friend's academy.

Issei readily agreed to her request since they have all the time they need in this world.

Not even a day would pass on the <Netherworld> when they get back no matter how long the time pass here so he doesn't need to feel worried about his other loved ones.

Days passed by until one night...

Aki laid exhausted in the bed and Issei stroked her hair lovingly. His gaze is filled with love and tenderness when he's looking at her...

His hand suddenly stopped its action and he narrowed his eyes to the outside.

Looks like they're finally here... Issei "summoned" the intruders with his power so he can take care of them in one fell swoop.

He wore his clothes and disappeared on the spot. Thankfully this night they didn't have an "audience".

...

"Commander Akaya, they're heading towards the Nijou's residence." A teenage girl with sky blue hair, eyes were closed said. She's also holding a cane.

"Aki's family home? Let's hurry." A man with orange-colored hair that has a single cowlick swept to the left side on top of his head and purple responded anxiously. He wore a white uniform with a dark blue stripe and yellow trimmings.

Following him, there are six girls including the one who just spoke.

The six girls were wearing a matching red uniform with crimson stripe and gold trimmings.

"Why are those monsters suddenly headed towards the Nijou residence? And their amount this time is no joke either." A girl wearing a Chinese headwear, and has a black long ponytail that comes from the side under it said next.

"Mooouu~. I was in the middle of a concert too!" The next with long pink hair tied in a ponytail with bangs that covered half of her forehead, ruby eyes with heart-shaped pupils said with a pout.

"Keep the chit chat to a minimum, we only need to do our job like we used to." Next to her, a girl who has dark purple hair, split into twin tails with a small bun at the back of her head said seriously: "Alilu, Lilu, we're counting on you when the time comes."

""Understood."" The last two girls are identical twins, with the only difference in their hair color. One of them has dark hair while the other one has blonde hair. Both have the appearance of an elementary student with a height of 130cm tall. They could be described as cute dolls.

In this world, monsters are a common sighting. They are born from <Elements> of this world.

They're mostly mindless beasts that only seek to destroy all living beings. Whereas the rare case of them having intelligence is basically nonexistent with the exception of a select few in the past.

Right before they arrived at the Nijou's residence doorstep, they stopped in their track feeling utterly shocked.

They were expecting that the monsters would've already gone on a rampage but... The monsters they were chasing are laid on the ground and couldn't be any deader.

There lies a pile of corpses belonging to the monsters.

And not far from the pile of corpses, a man with long white hair with piercing red eyes stood there. His facial feature couldn't be described by mere words... The word 'handsome' isn't enough to describe his appearance.

"...Wh-What... Wh-Who..." The Chinese girl muttered amidst her shock.

The orange-haired man tensed while cold sweat dripped from his cheek.

This is no joke... They've noticed the movements of the monsters much earlier and they already set off right after their movement is detected.

Counting down the time of their departure, it should only take two hours at best. While there was some distance between them and the group of monsters, it should only be 10 minutes at most.

And you're telling them that in the span of 10 minutes, all of their targets are already dead?! Just like that? Without any suspense nor struggle?

They couldn't sense or hear anything at all on their way here... It's like these monsters died instantly the moment they arrived here!

And this man... This unknown man before them is too abnormal.

"...Commander... I... I can't see nor sense any element within his body..." The girl with sky blue hair said nervously. She even had her eyes open right now.

Her eyes are colored red but not as striking as the man in front of them.

Hearing what she said, not only the orange-haired man but the other girls are also shocked to their core.

It's because the girl can see anything possessing Element through her eyes. No matter how small they are, she would be able to tell it right away. Even if the size is a big as a speck of dust, but...

She can't "see" a single speck of element within this man's body!

"...Y-You're joking..." The girl with pink hair said nervously.

"Who are you?"

"!!!"

They suddenly heard a voice from behind them.

When they realize it, Issei is already standing there.

How?! They thought horrifiedly inside their mind.

They had their eyes locked onto his figure the whole time!

"Depending on your answer..." Issei said coldly with narrowed eyes.

He didn't need to finish his words to get the underlying message. If their answer doesn't satisfy her then they all will lose their lives here!

Their whole body becomes frozen stiff under his pressure.

He doesn't let out any killing intent but it's already enough to suffocate them.

"...W-We... W-We are..." The orange-haired man tried to get his words out but to no avail.

And just when they thought that they're about to die, the voice of their savior resounded: "Akaya?" Aki who just comes out from the house said.

"Hm? You know them, Aki?"

"Um... They, or rather he, was my old classmate..." Aki said with a slight frown on her face.

"I see." Issei nodded slightly before releasing his pressure and they all dropped to the ground while breathing heavily.

Their whole body is drenched with cold sweat. Even their clothes are wet.

"A-Aki... You're back..." The orange-haired man named Akaya said with difficulty.

"...Um." Aki only nodded plainly at him.

"Look out!" The sky-blue-haired girl warned when she happens to see a trace of an element moving rapidly towards Aki's direction from underground.

A monster shaped like a snake burst out from the ground with its mouth open wanting to engulf Aki with its jaw.

"Ak-"

*BAM!*

Faster than Akaya could finish his shout, Issei appeared in front of Aki and grabbed the monster snake by its neck.

The snake size is at least at the size of an elephant but Issei easily grabbed it by its neck as if he was grabbing a worm instead.

The snake struggled fiercely under his grasp. It flailed its tail around trying to push Issei back with it but before its tail could hit him, Issei crushed its neck and the snake went limp forever...

"Why did you come out?" Issei said blamingly at Aki.

The current Aki is filled to the brim with his "essence". She's like a beacon to those monsters.

"S-Sorry... I realized that you were gone when I accidentally woke up..." Aki said with an apologetic smile.

The way he worries for her warmed up her heart... Even if the monster were to bit her, she would still be unhurt. Not only is she not a normal human anymore, but she's also wearing his defensive charm.

There's no way a mere beast could harm her but she's still very happy of his concern.

"Fool, you're obviously still exhausted..." Issei sighed helplessly.

He tossed the snake's body into the pile of corpses, reuniting it with its comrades...

Issei then proceeds to lift her body in a princess carry.

"I-Ise san?!" Aki yelped embarrassedly.

"Be obedient," Issei said softly.

Aki could only nod at his statement and acted like a shy wife.

Then he turned his head towards Akaya's party and said calmly: "If you want to have a reunion then wait until tomorrow. It's already late." Without saying anything else, he went inside the house with the blushing Aki in his embrace.

"..." They dumbfoundedly looked at his departing back.

Who wanted to have a reunion? They're here to deal with these monsters, okay?!

The corpses of monsters on the ground suddenly burst into flames and turned their body into ashes much to their amazement.

"So... So... So..."

"So terrifying? If so, I agree..." The Chinese girl said with a gulp but what she heard next almost make her trip once again.

"So cool!" The busty girl with pink hair shouted feeling completely charmed by Issei's figure just now.

"Agreed... The way he carries that woman is so romantic~" The blue-sky-haired girl also nodded along in agreement.

Both of them had their cheeks flushed.

"You two are really..." The Chinese girl and the twin-tail girl shook their head in resignment... But their cheeks are also blushing since they also admit that Issei was really charming just now.

Even the loli twins had their cheeks turned red.

"...So what now, commander?" They then asked the dazed Akaya.

"...What else? We go back for now and visit Aki tomorrow." After regaining his bearings back, Akaya took a deep breath and said whilst still in trepidation.

That experience earlier is not something that he wanted to experience twice... It's like they're in the presence of death itself.

If Aki didn't 'save' them earlier... Would they share those monsters' fate? He shuddered at the thought.

"Who was that man anyway? I've never seen him before..."

"Um, a man as strong as him shouldn't be unknown... especially with that kind of face."

"He's so charming~, I wonder if I could get his phone number!"

"Phone number your head, can't you see that he has an intimate relationship with her just now? They're obviously lovers! And we are almost killed by him earlier!"

"Now now, girls... Let's just head back for now. Let's not make a commotion in front of someone's house this late at night."

They then decided to just return to their HQ for tonight... And as for what they should report... They're not really sure.

But one thing for sure, they need to find out just who was that man earlier...

...

The next morning.

"Did you discover anything?" Akaya asked the staff of their HQ after they do some research.

"Almost none, sir. The only data we have is that he seems to be a very rich man. He sold trillions of assets a few days ago and recently bought some luxurious cars. Other than that, we have nothing. We also don't know just where he got all those things..." The staff said confusedly.

"What about his name?" Akaya inquired further.

"According to his 'ID', it's Issei Savant Hyoudou, nationality Japan. He arrived at Nijou's residence along with Aki Nijou not long ago. And it seems that he's engaged with Aki Nijou."

"There's nothing else? What about his <Maken>? His family?" The corner of Akaya's eyes twitched after hearing that Issei is engaged to Aki.

"None, sir. It's like he came out of thin air..."

"...Alright, thanks for your good work." Akaya sighed and went to the meeting room.

"What are the results, commander?" He's greeted by the six girls from last night.

"As we expected, basically zero," Akaya said towards his teammates.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's just go meet him directly!" The pink-haired girl said energetically while raising her right hand.

"Shiria... Stop acting so willful. We don't know if that man is evil or not."

"Evil? If he's evil then he wouldn't take care of those monsters you know? And he also won't let us leave just like that!"

"I know, but still..."

"Well well, I agree with Shiria-chan... Let's just go meet him directly. If we keep playing the guessing game, there will be no end to it." The sky-blue-haired girl clapped her hand to end their discussion.

They looked at each other and finally agreed to visit the Nijou's residence.

But they couldn't help become nervous yet again... Is it really a good idea to be meeting that man once again?

...

"You girls ready?" Akaya and the girls stood in front of the Nijou's residence.

They're not wearing their uniform from last night and are currently wearing their casual clothes.

They don't want to attract too much attention to themselves by wearing their uniform. Besides, their arrival here is a secret.

His teammates nodded at his question.

Akaya took a deep breath and was about to press the doorbell when Aki opened the door for them.

"...Come in," Aki said simply before she turns around and walks away leaving the door open.

They looked at each other before following after her.

Their trip towards the main house is filled with silence.

Akaya didn't say a word... so does his teammates.

The silence ensues until they've finally arrived at their destination.

"We're here," Aki said before she slowly slides the door open.

They entered the room and started to look around but they didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

Aki's mother and grandparents are nowhere to be seen including Issei.

"Take a seat," Aki said.

They pause briefly before they took their seat but not before saying: "Please pardon our intrusion."

Aki and Akaya then looked at each other but Akaya is the first to break the silence.

"...How are you, Aki? After you went missing a year ago, I, Tomi-chan and Minori are very worried about you." Akaya asked her: "Including Gen, I guess." He said jokingly trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"I'm perfectly fine, as you can see. And I will go visit them soon," Aki replied calmly: "Now I'm pretty sure the reason you came here isn't just to inquire about my wellbeing, right?"

"Straight to the point eh... Well, I guess that's just like you. That man from last night... Who is he?" Akaya smiles bitterly before he asked seriously.

"He's my fiancee." Aki's tone is still calm but a slight blush crept upon her face when she said the word 'fiancee'.

"...I see. Congratulations then," Akaya said after a brief pause.

"Thank you."

"Where is he now? Could we perhaps meet him?"

"He's currently away shopping with my mother and grandparents. But they should be back soon." She looked at the time and said.

It's currently 2 P.M at noon, they should return soon...

Aki didn't come with them since her mother said that she wanted to get to know her son-in-law better.

Her grandparents also agreed to her idea. Besides, she has a guest to attend to.

She knows Akaya quite well hence she was sure that he will arrive today.

"I see... What about his identity? Other than being your fiancee that is. Is he a <Maken> user?"

"He's not a <Maken> user," Aki said simply.

"You're joking?" The Chinese girl couldn't help but blurt out.

Not a <Maken> user? With that kind of strength?

"I'm not joking. Nor am I lying." Aki responded.

"But he could use fire and that inhuman strength. Not to mention his speed." The Chinese girl said still not believing that Issei is not a <Maken> user.

Her other teammates also don't believe what Aki said.

Only Akaya seems calm enough while staring at Aki straight in the eye.

Aki calmly met his gaze.

Soon, Akaya shook his head and heaved a sigh: "...She's not lying."

"Commander?"

"I've known Aki since high school... She's not the type of person who would lie about something like this. And I would've known whether she's lying or not since she's bad at lying..."

Aki snorted at him: "Unlike you."

"...Indeed, unlike me who could lie without blinking an eye." Akaya smiles bitterly once again.

He did what he has to do in the past and he doesn't regret it. Even if it hurts his friends' feelings because of it.

"Okay!" The sky-blue-haired girl clapped her hand loudly to stop the current discussion: "Let's change the topic, shall we?"

"Agreed agreed!" The pink-haired girl cheered.

"But first, let's introduce ourselves first... Let's start with me. My name is Minerva Martha. My measurement is as follow:

Bust: 79 (B-Cup) / Waist: 55 / Hips: 80.

One of my hobbies is drawing a doujin, the R-18 one!"

Aki sweated at her introduction.

"Here here!" The pink-haired girl shouted: "My name is Shiria Ootsuka! I'm an American idol who just recently arrived in Japan! Nice to meet you~❤! My measurement is:

Bust: 93 (H-Cup) / Waist: 56 / Hips: 89!

By the way, can I ask for your fiancee's contact information? Just his phone number will do~❤"

"Don't just casually ask for someone's fiancee's phone number, you idiot. Don't you know shame? And why the hell did you two tell her your measurement anyway?" The Chinese girl knocked her head: "My name is Yan Min, nice to meet you."

"Boo~! You gotta tell her your measurement as well, Yan Min!" Minerva and Siria said.

"Like hell I will!" Yan Min roared at them.

"Please ignore them, my name is Demitra Midia, the vice commander of this team. And these two girls are..." The woman with twin-tail introduced herself and looked at the two lolis."

"...Lilu Finnian."

"...Alilu Finnian."

"And me, the commander of the team Venus, the one and only Akaya Kodai. Although we've already known each other, please take care of me once again, Aki." Akaya finishes their introduction with a dazzling smile but Aki only looks at him with a deadpan look since she's used to his flirty personality.

"Now with that out of the way, tell us, Aki... What kind of person is your fiancee?" Akaya asked seriously.

"You don't need to worry about his intention. He's only here to accompany me back home... As for his personality, as long as you don't provoke him then he won't do anything in return." Aki said with the same serious expression on her face: "And Akaya... As a friend, I advise that you do not do anything out of the line or even I won't be able to save you." She advised at the end.

"...Alright, thank you for your advice. I'm happy that you're worried for me." Akaya gestured exaggeratedly.

"I'm not worried about you. I just don't want unnecessary bloodshed." Aki denied his claim almost instantly.

For Issei, this world might as well be a kindergarten. Not a single being that existed here could possess any threat to him... The Gods that existed in the past couldn't come close to him in every aspect.

The fact that they're killed one by one by the humans is quite disheartening, to say the least... If they band together in the past, will they survive? But there's no use in thinking that anymore since what's done is done.

They only need to do their best to never meet the same fate as them.

When Akaya was about to open his mouth, the door slide open revealing Issei who seems to be having a weird expression on his face.

"Ise-san?" Aki blinked seeing his complexion.

"It's nothing..." Issei said wryly towards Aki: "You're still not done here?" He asked her.

"Eh, they arrived not too long ago... Where are okaa-sama and the others?" Aki responded.

"...Mother-in-law said that she needs to take care of some business in the company and as for grandafther and grandmother-in-law, they also come with her," Issei said after a brief pause.

The conversation he had with his mother-in-law is giving him a little headache... In the future, Aki will also have a headache when she heard about it but not as much as him.

"Oh, I see..." Aki tilted her head feeling something's off but she won't pursue it.

"Hm?" Issei then looked to his side where he felt a lot of gaze on him.

The Venus team, whether it's Akaya or his teammates, are staring at him unblinkingly.

Well, Akaya is nervous at his presence whereas, for the girls, they had a dreamy look on their faces. With Shiria being the most obvious.

Compared to last night where he has this unapproachable air around him, the current Issei is more "docile" and "warm", as they interpreted it.

Issei ignored their gaze and proceed to take his smoking pipe out. He inhaled through it before heading towards Aki's side and took a seat right next to her.

Aki now is now convinced that something is on his mind seeing him taking his smoking pipe out of nowhere.

He has this habit nowadays where he would smoke if he's in a troublesome situation or extremely bored.

She's certain that he's not currently feeling bored since he would never feel bored around them, as in his loved ones.

So that can only mean that something is on his mind.

"Ise-san?" Aki called out in concern.

"It's nothing." Issei forced a smile and proceed to stroke her head: "So, what are you discussing about?"

"Umm, it's about you..." Aki said wryly.

"Me?" Issei raised one of his eyebrows and then look at Akaya's group.

They flinched slightly when they met his gaze.

"...We-" Akaya was about to say something but Shiria beat him to it.

"Hi hi! Nice to meet you! My name is Shiria Ootsuki! I'm 16 years old and I'm an American idol! Currently single and looking for a cool boyfriend such as you, tee-hee~! Can I have your phone number?" She said with a wide smile on her face.

"Sh-Shiria?!" They become shocked at her action.

Issei is also stupefied at her statement.

"Even though I know you already have a fiancee, that doesn't mean we can't be friends, right? Having a hottie like you being my friend has always been one of my dreams, you know? So please~❤?" She winked at the end.

"..." Her words are met with silence.

"...My my, are you saying that I'm not a hottie, Shiria?" Akaya tried to ease the awkward silence by making a joke himself but Shiria doesn't react to his joke which made his pride took a hit.

Shiria kept looking intently at the stupefied Issei.

"...Aren't you a boy?" The first thing that came out of Issei's mouth made the whole air freeze. Even the person in question's expression also froze...
