Chương 196: Too Busy
"Yo, Issei. Got club again today?" Motohama and Matsuda approached Issei after the class ended.
"Yeah. We're preparing for the Athletic Meet." Issei while packing his things.
"Really now... So the Occult Research Club is good in ball games, is it?" Motohama pulled a chair and sat down in front of Issei's desk.
"Figures. All the members are in tip-top shape." Matsuda also did the same.
"I guess..." Issei replied lightly, 'That's because Devils are naturally stronger than humans.
Motohama expression suddenly turned serious and fixed his glasses, "Issei, there are some nasty rumors circulation about you, so watch out. Kisuke also has some rumors circulating, but he isn't here right now. Although we doubt if he would even care about it."
"W-what are you talking about, Motohama?" Issei gulped as he has a really bad feeling about it.
Motohama grinned and explained the rumor, "Word has it that you're Issei Hyoudou, "The Beast", who steals away young beautiful one after the other.
"You're holding some sort of secret of Rias-senpai and Himejima-senpai and blackmailing them into entertaining your brutish and perverse whims. 'Hehehe. You two are usually such elegant, refined flowers, but before me, you can't help but give in to your basest desires! You fine pair of boobies!' --You say as you abuse them. Forcing them into one act of debauchery after next."
Issei stood up and slammed the table, "Hey!!! What the hell is that about!? Only Kisuke can do that!"
Motohama put up his hands to calm him down and said, "Wait. That isn't all. They said that your sexual urges even to our recent angle of a transfer student, Asia Argento. You made your move the day she transferred in and now you slowly corrupt the poor angle during the twilight hours...
"Lastly, you lock these beauties up in your own little world inside your house, bending them to your will until they break. The brutish Issei Hyoudou's lust for young flesh knows no bounds!
"And well, that's what they say~!" Motohama finished his words and Matsuda followed up, "Geez, you really are the worst."
Issei held his head not knowing what to do with the rumor, "Seriously? Do people really think that about me?"
Issei looked around the classroom and saw that the girls are giving him a fearful and disgusted look, "Eww... He's looking over here." "He's on the hunt for his next victim." "Don't lock eyes or he'll get you for sure." "Scary..." "Those are the eyes of an animal... How creepy." Is what he heard they are saying.
"Dammit! Who the hell spreads these rumors!!!" Issei cursed to the heavens.
"Well, we've been spreading it for one." Motohama suddenly said.
"Yup, yup. We even got Kisuke's help one time." Matsuda followed.
Without saying anything, Issei gave each one of them a lump on the head.
"That hurt you brute!" "Yeah! Stop hitting us! You fiend!" Matsuda and Motohama immediately complained.
"Screw you guys! I should kill you for the things you've said about me! And Kisuke helped you!? How!?" Issei asked since that's what he's most worried about.
"Well... He just distributed a photo of you and Kiba reaffirming your love for each other in a darkly lit storage room. It's especially popular with a certain group of girls." Matsuda snickered.
"HE WHAT!?" Issei exclaimed loudly. He suddenly remembered him and Yuuto talking in the storage room about winning the game, 'That time!? How!?'
"You even go as far as to lust after that pretty boy!" Motohama didn't answer his question but raised his voice which gathered more attention from the surrounding students with some of them has sparkling eyes while looking at Issei.
"Kyaaa~! Are you the top or the bottom? The world wants to know!" Matsuda did another follow up.
"Well, that's another we've been spreading anyway. And we've got some hefty cash due to some variation of that photo fetch some good amount of money in the school's 'Black Market'."
"Die! Just die already!" Issei gave them a kick on their faces and left them whining on the floor. He only stopped beating them up with the club practice time approaching, "Ah, it looks like clubs are about to start. Time to go."
"You sure are gung ho. Who knew you were such a jock?" Matsuda recovered for a little bit.
"You've really changed. Eat anything odd lately? Or did your life turn around when you saw bare breast for the first time?" Motohama cleaned his glasses and said.
"I'll say this... No matter how many times I see boobs, it never gets old." With a smug face, he left them.
"Die!!!" Matsuda and Motohama grief at their inability to see bare boobs in real life.
Issei grabbed Asia who is receiving some 'night' lessons from Aika and went to the clubroom for practice.
Once they reached the room, there are two guests inside, Sona Sitri and Saji Genshirou. It seems they are here to formally introduce the new members of each Household to each other.
"Issei, Asia. Allow me to properly introduce you to Sona Sitri. As you already know, she academy's student council president and the leader of her peerage just like me." Rias introduced Sona after they entered the room.
"Pleased to meet you, Hyoudou-kun, Asia-san."
"We're pleased to meet you too, Sitri-sama!" Issei and Asia simultaneously bowed. They heard from Rias that she's the heir to the Sitri Clan which is another big noble family in the Underworld like their master. And as Rias' servants, they have to show proper respect for her.
"No need to be formal. I'm just here to introduce our newest member, Saji." Sona gestured towards Saji. It's apparent that he subdued and less energetic than their first meeting. If it's the normal him, he would have issued a challenge to Issei as someone who has the same position as him in a peerage, "This is Saji Genshirou. A pawn in my peerage. I hope you get along with him."
"N-nice to meet you too..." Issei replied, but due to the awkward atmosphere, he stuttered a bit, 'Although Kisuke did beat him up, that's already happened long ago! So what's up with this weird atmosphere.
Sona also noticed the gloomy atmosphere Saji is putting out, but he can't blame him as he is just worried about her. Although she's trying to act like it's normal, it obvious for her servants that she isn't doing well these past few days. Saji confronted her about it and Sona just brushed it off as nothing. He did this multiple times that Sona got fed up and unintentionally raised her voice against him. She apologized to him, but she couldn't do anything to lift his mood.
"...You should meet sometime... Well then. I have no other business so we're going to leave..." Sona stood up and headed straight to the door.
"Sona..." Rias called out to her and wanted to ask her what's wrong, but she knew her attitude and knows that she would pretend that nothing is wrong, so instead, she asked about their competition on the Interclub Tournament, "... I'm looking forward to our game..."
"... I'm sorry, Rias... I won't be able to join you as I'm too busy with something... You can have the slot for this month to catch a familiar for your new members..." Sona left without waiting for her to reply.
Rias watched as the door closed and face Koneko soon after, "Koneko-chan... Do you know anything?"
To her surprise, Koneko nodded, "Then..."
"I'm sorry, Buchou... It's not my place to talk about it..."
"...I see..."

I'm back~!
.
Honestly, I forgot to post and just remembered it yesterday and figured that I should just post it on Monday.
.
It'll be another slow start, and to others, it might feel that I'm just rewriting DxD with this, but hear me out.
.
First, not everyone who reads the fanfic is familiar with the canon (I do this, and figured there might be others who do this too.)
.
Second is, there will be some changes in the character's mindset due to Kisuke's presence (especially on Issei) so I don't want to skip it.
.
And Third, I'm just a poor author with poor skills that can't write amazing things (So I'm sorry for those who are already bored with this and thank you for reading it until now.)
.
BTW, 5 chapters tomorrow too and then 1 or 2 chps onwards as it is the popular opinion it seems. (I might miss some days though... Due to work.)
