"Great job stopping Cao Cao back there. You guys really are something else," Azazel remarked, offering his unreserved praise to Issei, Rias, Luminous, and Hinata.
"Hmph! Naturally. A task of that caliber was hardly a challenge for someone like me," Luminous shot back with a haughty tilt of her chin, though a faint dusting of pink across her cheeks betrayed her lingering embarrassment.
"Luminous-sama..." Hinata could only offer a helpless, wry smile at her mistress's typical behavior.
Issei, watching the interaction, let out a soft, amused chuckle.
"So, what do you plan to do with them?" Rias asked as she stepped forward, her arms crossed beneath her chest in a way that emphasized her commanding presence.
"Well, let's see... Since they were being manipulated by a skill, we're going to need a bit of help from the people on the ground here."
Rias's gaze reflexively shifted toward Luminous.
"I will cooperate," Luminous stated, "but don't go setting your expectations too high."
"You have my thanks, Lady Luminous," Azazel replied, offering a sincere bow of his head.
"Since Cao Cao and the Hero Faction have been dealt with, does that mean the search party is officially disbanded?" Issei asked, looking for clarification.
In response, Azazel gave a firm shake of his head.
"Why is that?"
"The real culprit is still out there, lurking in the shadows. We have to apprehend them before they can make another move."
"I figured as much," Issei sighed, feeling a bit of the weight return to his shoulders.
"There's no need to lose sleep over it. For now, just focus on enjoying your field trip with your lovely ladies," Azazel added with a mischievous, knowing smirk.
"Ahem! Don't put it like that. You're going to give people the wrong idea."
"Ha ha ha! But isn't that exactly what you wanted to do with them here in Kyoto?"
"Who said that? I—"
"Whatever the case, you've been grouped with the girls, and your rooms happen to be right next to each other. Feel free to enjoy yourselves to your heart's content."
Suddenly, a terrifying, suffocating crimson aura began to radiate from Rias's body.
"Ah, look at the time! I really should be heading back to the Underworld."
"Get back here! You're going to take responsibility for helping me with this!!"
Azazel merely flashed a bright, carefree grin before vanishing instantly within a teleportation circle.
Issei turned his gaze toward Rias, feeling a bit awkward. "It's all nonsense, really. I wasn't actually planning on doing anything..."
"Is that so? Well, then I truly feel sorry for Asia."
"Eh?" Issei blinked, caught off guard by a reaction that was the polar opposite of what he expected. "Why?"
Rias rolled her beautiful eyes in exasperation. "Do I really need to spell it out for you? You've kept her waiting for so long. If you're a real man, you shouldn't leave a girl hanging like that."
"You're right... But by saying that, are you basically telling me to go for it?"
Rias chose to remain silent, but the look in her eyes was a clear green light.
"Useless! I'm leaving!" Luminous hissed, turning on her heel to depart with Hinata in tow.
Luminous looked genuinely incensed. Hinata looked like she wanted to say something to Issei, but she quickly swallowed her words when she caught Luminous's sharp, warning glare.
Once Luminous and Hinata had vanished from sight, Rias let out a weary sigh.
"Luminous is the same way. If you're serious about her, you need to be more straightforward."
"...You're really okay with that?"
Rias offered him a stunningly beautiful smile. "From the moment I decided to be your woman, I was prepared to accept everything that comes with it. Anyway, you can move those three 'crows' back to the house. I'll be the one to explain things to everyone else."
"Mm, about that... I'll give it some thought."
Rias nodded and stepped closer to Issei. For a moment, they simply locked eyes, their gazes lingering before their heads slowly tilted, and their lips finally met in a soft, lingering kiss.
Rias instinctively looped her arms around Issei's neck, pulling him closer.
Issei responded by wrapping his arms around her slender waist, his hands wandering down until they reached the firm curves of her buttocks.
"Hnghhh..."
Rias's soft moan acted like a match tossed into a pool of gasoline, instantly igniting the primal beast lurking within Issei.
"Kyaa!"
Rias let out a startled cry as Issei suddenly swept her off her feet, carrying her in a bridal style.
"Issei?"
"Rias... tonight, we aren't getting any sleep."
Rias flushed a deep scarlet, nodding shyly as she hid her face against his chest.
Issei carried her into the room and laid her down on the bed, his movements growing urgent as he roughly tore away her outer clothes.
Today, Rias was wearing an exquisite set of red-and-black lingerie. The intricate patterns etched into the fabric of her panties enhanced her mature charm, making her look more alluring than ever.
Issei unfastened her bra, his hands hungrily kneading her breasts while his lips reclaimed hers, drinking in the honey-sweet taste of her mouth.
"Hnghhh... Ahn..."
Issei trailed his kisses downward, his tongue flicking against the cherry-pink peaks of her chest, drawing them into his mouth and sucking rhythmically.
"Ahhh..."
Rias cried out with passion, her fingers digging into Issei's hair as she pressed his head closer to her chest. A slick heat began to build between her thighs, dampening her lace panties.
"Issei... do it, please..."
Her voice was weak and trembling, her eyes clouded with lust and desperate expectation.
Gulp.
"Okay... let's explore paradise together."
Rias wrapped her arms tightly around his neck once more.
The moment Issei moved to join their bodies, Rias's entire frame stiffened. The sensation of him—already as hard as steel—sliding deep inside her was overwhelming.
"Ugh... Emm... Ahn..." Rias couldn't stop the moans from escaping her throat.
Issei felt a flicker of confusion, but the realization hit him almost immediately.
Has mine always been this big? No wonder Rias can't stop sighing like that.
As the thought crossed his mind, he accidentally bucked his hips, causing his length to plunge even deeper into her core.
"Ahhhnnn!!!..."
