Issei and his group entered the club. They saw Rias and her peerage including Sona and her peerage also. Ravel was also there too. They had gloom expression over them and none of them was wanting to talk.

Issei noted that Rias might told Sona about it. The rest heard the news he guessed. Issei made sure to stay away from Rias, Akeno, Koneko, and Asia.

As no one was wanting to speak Sona took the initiative.

"Rias any plans for today?" Sona asked.

Rias could only at Issei and responded, "Just take the contracts for today. Everyone get their contracts."

Everyone took contracts as Issei had to approach Rias trying not to gag. It took all his will to get the contracts. As Issei was about pull away his hand from Rias desk. Rias immediately grabbed Issei wrist holding it tight not letting him go.

Issei started to plead, "Let me go."

Rias started to speak, "No I'm not. I need you to listen."

Issei felt the effects started to hit him hard. Issei felt the pain his stomach wanting to drop off to the ground.

"Please let me go." Issei spoke.

Rias spoke, "The girls and I were just feeling the moment with Vali."

Issei was wanting to cover his ears as if the nail scratching the chalk board close to his ears.

Rias continues to speak, "I still care for you."

Issei spoke, "Please. Let me go."

Then Asia, Akeno and Koneko went to hug Issei side wanting to say their excuses.

Asia spoke with tears, "Please Issei there was reason. I promise to be yours."

Irina, Xenovia, and Rossweisse were filling with anger. The next thing that Issei did shocked everyone.

Issei shouted, "Let me go!"

Issei pulled his arm hard and threw Rias towards the couches. He pushed Asia away. He took Akeno and slammed her to the wall causing Akeno to gasp for air. Then Issei kicked Koneko away from him causing her roll on the ground.

Everyone was in disbelief that Issei was able to do harm to his own comrades.

Rossweisse spoke, "Issei please calm down. Listen to my voice."

Issei started to listen to Rossweisse and started to walk towards her. Then unexpected he hugged Rossweisse. Rossweisse did the same some reason she felt happy to have Issei in her arms.

Rias recovered from the hit and saw Issei in Rossweisse arms. She felt like she lost Issei. Akeno, Asia, and Koneko recovered and saw Issei hugging Rossweisse.

After a minute Issei recovered his emotions and spoke, "President. I'm sorry but I can't return your feelings or the girls. I'll still be your pawn and do what you command but no longer a person can be close to you."

Rias spoke wanting to hug Issei but was blocked by Irina, "Issei. Is there any way to fix this?"

Issei responded still hugging Rossweisse, "There no fixing it is too late. If you need emotional support go to Vali. I wish you girls well with Vali."

Before Issei left the club he spoke, "Gasper, Kiba, Ravel, and others. Don't feel guilty and I'm not mad either. We are still friends."

Issei left the club room as Irina, Xenovia and Rossweisse followed him. Ravel noticed Issei is gone she also decided to follow him to have a word with him.

Rias could only cry in tears seeing the no way fixing their relationship or have a relationship with Issei. Sona and her peerage watch the group with pity. Sona never thought Rias and her peerage are divided by one action.

Issei was walking away the old school building. Then Irina, Xenovia and Rossweisse chased him down until they caught up to him.

Issei spoke, "I'm sorry you had to see that."

Xenovia spoke, "We don't blame you. We know you were just holding back."

Issei spoke, "It better to be back home than moving out. Since I'm still Rias pawn as long away I'm from them."

Rossweisse asked with concern look on her face, "You sure? You don't have to trouble yourself."

"It better that way. My parents still lives there. I must take account for the people who cares." Issei responded.

As they were heading back to their house. Ravel was behind them catching them up.

Ravel spoke, "Issei wait."

Issei stopped in his tracks and turns to Ravel. Before Issei could say a word he was immediately hugged by Ravel.

Ravel spoke with a sad expression, "Issei I'm sorry because of my mother."

Issei responded, "No need to apologize. It not your fault. I'll be still here for you."

Ravel continues to hug Issei glad Issei is still with them. She was distraught by the news hoping Issei would be okay.

After a few minutes Issei had contracts to do as the others has well before heading home. Before the day ended Issei was summoned to Azazel house.

After a minute Issei was in front of Azazel house. Issei knocked the door after a few seconds the door opened revealing Azazel who greeted him.

Azazel spoke with a cheerful tone, "Ah Issei finally came. What if I said I brought girls with bountiful breasts to touch?"

Before could respond Azazel noticed Issei mood which got him concerned for him.

Azazel asked, "Why are you down? Something happened?"

Issei responded, "Well things happened. Is there something you need?" Not wanting to tell the reason.

Azazel spoke, "Come on in. There something I need to say."

Issei entered Azazel house and after getting settled in the living room. Azazel was the one to start the conversation.

Azazel spoke, "The reason I summoned you here. Because of a being want to meet you."

Issei started thinking who wants to meet him. He couldn't think of anyone who wanted to see him.

Azazel continues speaking, "Wait here Issei I'll get the person."

Azazel left the living room somewhere in his house as Issei sat in the room alone.

Issei decided to enter his scape. Once he got in he was standing before the hosts of Draig chatting among each other.

Issei spoke, "Is Driag is available to speak?"

All the host look at Issei and one them responded, "Sorry Issei Driag is not available to speak."

"Shouldn't Driag be helping me out?" Issei asked.

An another host responded, "Yes as always but remember Driag has his own time to himself. We noticed that your partnership with Driag are strain. We don't why and we're here talking about it."

A different host asked Issei, "What you and Driag last talked about?"

Issei responded, "Well I... it's personal. It my problem to fix."

"Don't blame you. We never had Driag cut us off before. Hope you can fix it one way or another." The host spoke.

Issei made a small smile and spoke, "Thanks. For a talk with me."

With Issei left his mind back to the real world. Then Azazel was returning back to the living room.

Azazel spoke, "Issei I got the person."

Issei looks the person who was in front of Azazel which was a girl with Gothic outfit.

Issei started to remember someone similar when he was on juggernaut drive.

Issei spoke with fear, "Ophis?"

Azazel spoke to calm down Issei, "Don't worry she won't hurt you. She wanted to speak with you."

Ophis sat next to Issei and she look at Issei eyes with emotionless eyes. Issei was asking himself what Ophis want talk to him.
