Xenovia turned to face him as well with anxious eyes. He looked between the two girls and laughed, "I guess you could say so."
"That might explain why you're a dragon," Irina deduced with a fun smile.
"Hey, Issei…I've been meaning to ask you something since yesterday," Xenovia said slowly.
He looked at the bluenette curiously, "Alright, what is it?"
"It's about how you destroyed that Excalibur with your bare hand…are dragons really that powerful? That fallen angel said there were dragons even more powerful than God. Is that really true? It can't be…can it?" Xenovia asked doubtfully.
Issei took a moment to gather his thoughts before answering, "Well, Xenovia, dragons are indeed incredibly powerful beings. While I can't vouch for the specific claims about dragons more powerful than God, I can tell you that dragons are legendary creatures with immense strength and abilities."
"Is it because of your dragon blood that you possess such power?" Irina asked, intrigued by the topic.
"Yes, exactly. As the host of Ddraig, one of the Heavenly Dragons, I've gained some of his powers and abilities," Issei explained.
"A Heavenly Dragon…sounds impressive," Xenovia remarked.
"It is, but it also comes with its challenges. Having Ddraig inside me means I have to deal with his fiery nature and the instincts of a dragon," Issei admitted.
"A dragon's instincts?" Irina questioned.
"Yeah, dragons are instinctual creatures, and Ddraig's instincts often clash with my human emotions and desires. It takes a lot of self-control to keep that balance," Issei explained.
Just then, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Issei got up to open it and found Asia Argento standing there again.
"Do people come by your house like this all the time?" Irina asked, shaking her head.
Issei sighed, "Yes, unfortunately. It seems like I've become a magnet for supernatural visitors."
Taking a deep breath, Issei braced himself to meet the angel who had been watching him. He slowly opened the door and was met with a blinding sight.
Outside his house stood a woman with flowing blonde hair and captivating green eyes. Her hair had elegant curls at the ends, and it seemed to emit a soft, radiant glow. She wore resplendent golden-white armor that gave her an ethereal appearance. Twelve feathery white wings adorned her back, and a graceful diadem adorned her forehead.
Issei blinked several times, trying to adjust to the brilliance of her presence. "I should have worn my shades," he mumbled.
The angel smiled at him with genuine happiness, "I'm so glad you wanted to meet me today."
"Umm…1, 2, 3, 4…6…12 wings? Who the hell are you?!" Issei blurted out, completely taken aback.
"I'm the seraph Gabriel. Nice to meet you, Issei Hyoudou," she introduced herself, her voice carrying a sense of divine tranquility.
Issei looked around nervously, aware that having an angel with twelve wings standing outside his home might attract unwanted attention from his neighbors. "You should probably come inside before any of my neighbors see you."
"Thank you," she replied gracefully and stepped into his home.
Xenovia and Irina were stunned by the appearance of the seraph Gabriel. Their faces turned pale, and they almost lost their composure.
"Gabriel-sama!" Irina bowed low immediately, showing immense respect.
Xenovia tossed her controller aside and quickly followed suit, bowing in reverence.
"Great seraph, Gabriel…what brings you here?" Xenovia asked humbly.
The angel smiled kindly, "You don't have to bow. I simply came to meet Issei."
Irina and Xenovia exchanged disbelieving glances, still in shock at the unexpected visit. Irina finally managed to find her voice, "Seriously?! W-what for?!"
"He said he needed a guardian angel…and so I came," the seraph explained as if it were the simplest thing in the world.
"He said he needed a guardian angel…and so I came," the seraph explained as if it were the simplest thing in the world.
Issei shook his head, "No, I didn't say that…I said I wanted to meet you. I never agreed to that guardian angel shit."
"You cuss a lot, Issei Hyoudou, you're a bad boy," Gabriel bopped him lightly on the head with a smile. It was almost as if she wasn't even serious about scolding him.
He stared at her confused, "Is something wrong with you?"
"No, I feel fine today. In fact, I am in a great mood right now," Gabriel answered his question out of context.
"Issei! You can't say that to a seraph!" Irina gasped.
"It's okay Irina Shidou…Issei is a very special person. He's allowed to speak to me any way he wishes," Gabriel explained.
"I think you're the special one here," he laughed as he shook his head.
"You really think so? You think I'm special too?" Gabriel asked him with a clueless happy smile.
'Is she socially retarded? She has no idea I just called her stupid…' Issei thought bewildered.
"I know so! You're a very special girl…but I guess with looks like that you don't need much else," he said with a grin.
"You find my looks appealing? Thank you, Issei Hyoudou," Gabriel smiled warmly.
"Meeting a leader of the angels sure turned out to be quite entertaining," Issei chuckled, amused by Gabriel's innocent response.
"Issei! You shouldn't insult her like that," Irina protested.
"Insulting a seraph is not a wise idea," Xenovia added, shocked by Issei's boldness.
"It's quite alright, girls... Issei's sense of humor is unique, and I don't take offense. In fact, I'm flattered that he finds me attractive. The feeling is mutual, Issei. I am a big fan of yours as well," Gabriel said with sincerity.
The trio of Issei, Xenovia, and Irina all had their jaws drop simultaneously at Gabriel's unexpected remark.
Xenovia was confused, "What do you mean, Gabriel-sama?"
"Irina, Issei was... making fun of you," Irina tried to clarify.
"Making fun with me? Is that true, Issei Hyoudou? Am I a source of fun for you?" Gabriel asked innocently.
"No, you're not... and I am not attracted to you!" Issei protested firmly.
Gabriel looked at him with a puzzled expression, "But you just said you liked my looks and thought I was special."
"I did... but it was a joke. Are all angels this oblivious?" Issei turned to Irina and Xenovia for confirmation.
"She's a pure being, Issei. Normal angels don't usually experience or understand negative emotions like that," Irina explained.
"Man, I thought Gabriel was like the coolest angel in the bible. I wasn't expecting... this airhead," Issei sighed, finding it hard to believe.
"I'm your favorite angel?!" Gabriel's face lit up with excitement.
"No, forget I said that," Issei sighed again.
"I'm overjoyed that you hold me in such high regard, Issei," Gabriel beamed with joy.
