Walking down on the town everyone were craning their heads to see a young man that had long white hair tied in ponytail wearing a gray overcoat with a rolled sleeves to his elbow and a red inner shirt. He also wore a gray pants and blacks vans along with pair of glasses.

Every man and woman had their reaction with later blushing seeing his flawless face while the men curse seeing him being surrounded by top-class beauty.

"Your really chick magnet huh Issei?"

The young man, Issei turn to looked at a petite woman with glasses wearing casual clothes. She had a perverted smile looking around while Issei cringes a bit since his face was truly eye-catching. It was the reason why he wore glasses to negated his attractiveness or else the populations would plummet.

Issei was currently with his lover who hadn't participated in battle. They were too weak to participate at the times. He was with all his lover to go the promised karaoke since the fight with Kokabiel was finally over. Though Issei been working hard after it sending few Automata to manipulate the government to his accord before the outer gods.

It would helped him advance his DxD company and improve everyone technology. He used them to prepare a evacuation place of the outer God breach the world. It was also act a interconnecting runes that had produces a massive barrier in the world protecting from incoming treat. Issei wasn't doing it because he had hero complex but as long he doesn't affect his lovers then he would help them. It does benefit him as well and he doesn't want the home his lover to vanish.

He had also tried sensing Gore Magala but to no avail as something was enabling him to find her. It certainly her power. Issei resorted in sending Automata to search for her then observe. The other day, Sirzechs came to visit to him asking what happened and explained about everything. He responds about staying vigilant of the unsealed true dragon God.

"Though that glasses make you more handsome despite its function."(Aika)

"Yeah it makes you look more ravishing!"(Murayama)

"True you don't looked like your old perverted self."(Katase)

"Well I'm still am and you know that really well."

Issei smirk while Katase blush remembering their night together. Though it was only sexual frustration she had grown to like Issei that blossom to loved. It was due to how Issei makes her feel so special and how understanding he was when training her. Furthermore, her swords skill progress to the point that she can easily won kendo competitions.

Her sacred gear had unexpectedly fused with her soul that surprised Issei and took note that long exposure would result to it. Katase's sacred gear is one katana and Kodachi which had potent poison and curse much stronger than Samael poison.

"I still don't why I was drag here!"(Vali)

"Don't be such party popper, Vali-chan nya~. You always do training and fighting, sometime you need to relax." (Kuroka)

"I'm quite excited to do Karaoke again. Ise let's go to the beach next time."(Ingvild)

"Sure but after I'm done with Rias since she asked me to go on Anime convention."

"Ara~ Ara~ if you're going then be doing some cosplay?"(Akeno)

"Yeah I told Ise, we both be cosplaying as Minato and Kushina."(Rias)

"Oh I recently watch it and I loved their romance blossom. It reminded me of when Ise saved me."(Valerie)

"I'm glad, Ise-senpai did it! But I wonder what's the Tepes faction is doing?"(Gasper)

"They might be scratching their head since Ise took Valerie away."(Koneko)

"They hadn't done anything and Vali's old fart doesn't show himself anymore."

Issei had also made sure to place spies on the vampire faction. There's had been livid at the fact their trump card had been stolen while the Carmilla still doesn't know about it. Both side are quietly observing each other with the latter doesn't to go to war.

He planned to visit them and to get Elmenhilde once finishing everything. Issei still need to visit heaven and recruit the hero faction who still remain in their temporary based. Unbeknownst to Issei, a certain Dhamphir had presented itself within the Carmilla faction dreams.

"Anyway are you sure letting the Vatican get those Excalibur?"(Xenovia)

"Yeah those jerks is ruining our mighty God's name." (Irina)

"Wait how come is Irina-san here?"(Asia)

"Well Issei had sent a clone of hers to bring the Excalibur. Though most of them are replica of my sacred gear."(Yuumi)

"I wouldn't worry too much. Those fools won't even notice it, that it isn't the same thing anymore. At least theirs less chance falling it into the wrong hands."(Irina)

"Hold on can you tell me what happened to the real Excalibur Fragment?"(Rossweisse)

"Well according to Issei, he had long since stole it from the Vatican with the help of his familiar."(Sona)

"It's a pleasure being of service to master and his expresses."(Diablo)

A voice spoke from their shadow as Diablo awaits his master command. He was glad that his master had given him an order that greatly benefits him. Diablo plans to go to the sealed world gain two more additional primordial colors very soon.

The clone Irina would disappear after leaving message to real Irina's parents about where she is. The Vatican had long been under Issei palm an extra effort from Diablo. Though not would be able to notice as it subconscious hypnosis. They would believe their action is there's but the truth is within Diablo plans.

Nevertheless, their few that Diablo been forbade in interfering mainly Griselda Quarta, adopted mother of Xenovia. Issei only want the old fool who corrupt system to their accord.

"Hey where's Raynare-san?"(kunou)

"Oh she had stayed with her brother. The man is recovering and they needed time alone."(Issei)

"I'm still confused why you destroyed the sword but still have that hand?"(Tsubaki)

"She's right, Anata. Wouldn't it be best to destroy it?"(Yasaka)

"You guys worry too much, Aniki have it all handled."(Great red)

"Well the reason is that Sword is far more risky to be used than the hand that I can easily repurpose it."

"Hey Issei lets get some sweet."(Ophis)

The sweet tooth trio, Ophis, Kunou and Koneko saw a pastry shop cause them to drool from the display. Issei chuckled but more so when he saw Irene's eyes shone seeing the strawberry cheesecake in the display. They all went inside with the trio quickly pointed what they liked. Issei chooses a special strawberry sundae. It was still early for sweet but he was craving it.

The store was quite old but still hold relatively well. He looked at the employee which was an friendly old man.

"It's quite nice to be young like you. I remember my time with my wife when we went on our date but young man, are they all your lovers?"

"Yes."

"No hesitation huh? Well I won't judge someone having a harem but boy you should be ready to any incoming fight along the way."

"I am well aware of the trouble but I won't let it get to me and I'll keep moving ahead while making them happy."

"Hahaha that is quite nice to hear since this days people often get divorce. Hey young man everything you gotten is free of charge since you are my last costumer."

Issei flinch seeing the old man satisfied in his life. He wanted the same smile once everything is over. It would be life where his lovers are happily living.

"What do you mean, jii-san?"

"I was planning to retire and I don't have any children to give this shop anyway. "

"I see…can I buy this places then?"

"Hahaha why would you do that youngster."

"This place might hold a special meaning to you and your wife. It would be a waste, for it to be forgotten."

"No need, my boy. This place is all in the past and my wife wouldn't want me to worry about the past. My wife would beat me up in heaven if she saw me whining and sulking about it."

"Then have this as way to express my gratitude for giving me an advice."

Issei left something a simple card that would disappeared then allow the old man to straight to heaven and meet his wife. It would be a painless death. He knew that the old man has nothing to do in the world and gave him a free pass to paradise.

"Now then lets go start some karaoke."
