He’d have to slip out with Buchou tomorrow and see what they could do about it, and he’d have to apologise to Asia for avoiding her afterwards… Asia would be in tears if she saw him in this state and he couldn’t possibly let his parents see his arm like this. She was amazing! He thought, for the millionth time, even in a situation as strange as this, she took it completely in stride. Stretching out across the covers, Issei watched with a grateful smile as Rias slipped from the room, his eyes lingering on the spot she’d been even after the door swung closed behind her. You pushed yourself far too much today… I’ll go tell your parents you’ve returned and make sure Asia isn’t worrying.” I promise you, I won’t leave it like this,” punctuating her words with a gentle shove, she sent him toppling backwards onto his mattress before turning to go, “For now, just sleep.
I’ll call Akeno and we’ll look into anything we can find about dragons, I’ll use any connections I have if need be. Instead, steeling herself and taking command, just like always, Rias held him in a firm gaze, stepping forwards and placing her hands on his chest, she urged him gently across the room, guiding him towards his bed. Her hands clenched at her sides and she breathed out a conflicted sigh, but she didn’t press the issue. Jolted by the sight, he quickly forced his usual carefree smile, “Haha! No! I wasn’t thinking about that at all! I already told you, I don’t mind it one bit, one arm is a small price to pay to make sure you’re safe, Buchou!” “Ah?” Issei blinked, surprised first by her misinterpreting his mood, and then taken aback when he saw the anxious, guilty look shining in her eyes. Rias’s voice was soft as she shook him from his thoughts, reaching out to trail her fingers tentatively along the strange looking appendage, her touch both burned and soothed him at once.
Having returned home triumphant after saving Rias from her engagement to Raiser, Issei was uncharacteristically distracted, staring into the distance in his thoughts, as they stood in his room, after having sent the Griffon back to its master. I went to quite some trouble trying to get Issei’s voice right here, since the novels are written in first person and have a lot of monologue, and a lot of monologue that’s not exactly how we talk in English, but hopefully it works well enough. And to have someone then ask to commission a story for it, well hey, that works out pretty perfectly I think!
Definitely a very different protagonist, but a fun series for sure, so I’ve been enjoying it when I have made time to read through the volumes. ***********************-Īuthors Note: Something different this time! Highschool DxD! It’s actually only a series I’ve read a little of recently, when it came recommended from someone who’d seen I enjoyed Shinmai and Majika no Kenshi a lot.
