"Glory be to boobs!" The voice of the Dragonlord of Falconreach echoed in the Safehouse he now stayed in, a mountain area near Kuoh, given to him by Serafall in exchange for some new set of Soulwoven clothes. 

Elysia Shariac, ignored her Dragonlord's antics as she raised a dragon egg before shining it gently. 

"Is Issei alright?" Asia Argento, saintess of the holy church, asked while following Elysia's example. 

"Oh, he's fine. He's reaffirming his devotion to his Boob god or something," Elysia said with a shrug as he finished cleaning the egg. She had been used to the antics of her lord for a long time now, and as he got older, he became more mature... he still raved on about the glory of breasts, but only a lot less, once a month minimum. 

"Elysia," 

"Yeah," The Dragonpriestess looked at her dragonlord, who broke away from his prayer earlier than usual. 

"Who?" Following the eyes of her lord, Elysia's eyes widened as she saw someone near them, munching on the snacks she baked. 

"Oh my, sorry, we didn't see you there," Elysia gently said as she looked at the child near them. It was a cute young girl with long black hair and eyes, reminding her of one of the void dragons she met. "Sorry, would you like some more?" Gently holding a plate of cookies for her after lowering the dragon egg she cleaned, the priestess offered the girl a kind smile. 

"Yes, this is good," The girl emotionlessly said while taking some bites from the cookie she held. 

"Well, you should ask for them instead, not just take them, it's bad manners," 

"Really?" The girl looked at Elysia. 

"Yes, it's bad manners, and you should apologize but do it after you finish those, you look like you haven't eaten for days!"

'And she went to mother mode', Issei thought with a sweatdrop. The fact that someone managed to sneak past her barrier in their territory with frightening ease unnerved him, but seeing... her, she reminded him of...

"And what's your name?" Elysia asked, wiping the girl's mouth. 

"I, Ophis," She introduced herself. 

"It's a nice name," Issei added, sitting next to Elysia and handing her one of the drinks he made from the dragon fruits. They were delicious and with Elysia's help, they managed to make some seeds sprout and potted. It would take years for them to grow in full but they were given a lot. 

Taking the dragon fruit juice glass, Ophis's eyes widened at the taste. It was different, more powerful.

"It's good, right? I'm Elysia, Elysia Shariac," Elysia introduced with a smile, looking at her. 

"I'm Issei, Issei Hyoudou, it's nice to meet you, Ophis," Looking at their guest, he saw the look Bianca and Rita had while Asia approached Ophis to talk to her. "Are you two okay?" 

"Hyoudou... that's Ophis, the dragon of infinity," Rita whispered, breaking her demeanor. Seeing the elusive Dragon god in person shook her to her very core, while it was contained, she could feel the power the dragon held. 

"That's a nice title," Issei said, looking at Opis. She reminded him of his dragon, Drago. The baby dragon was far more powerful on his own than any, rivaled only by his twin once owned by his archnemesis... "Hey, Ely, do we have enough ingredients? I can make us something, Do you want to eat with us?" 

"Yes," Ophis monotonously replied as she looked at Issei while Elysia cleaned her face. She was a messy eater. 

"Hyoudou... how are you nonchalant about this?" Bianca asked, looking at the perverted young man.

"Well, she's not attacking us and she is pretty mild-mannered compared to the last god I fought..." A gigantic mass of tentacles from under the sea appeared in his mind. "Speaking of which, hey Ophis," 

"?" 

"You won't mind-rape us and turn us into a sort of squid-human hybrid, right? Because the last time I did, I almost got turned into a hentai tentacle monster," 

"No, you two are... different,"

"Good enough for me," With that, the sound of numerous kitchen appliances being prepared and the smell of ingredients being prepared echoed in the entire building accompanied only by the sound of Ophis chewing on her cookies followed by the soft hums of the Priestess cleaning more dragon eggs. 

The church agents looked at each other and nodded, it would be in their best decision to not mess openly with Hyoudou and his faction directly. 

-=-=-=-

"Do we have to buy all these?!" Issei asked, carrying the numerous shopping bags his priestess and friends bought while his father stood by his side, carrying his mother's bags. 

"Son, don't argue with your woman," Gorou said with a grin, but compared to Issei, his arms were struggling. "You must have had a very wealthy client. Are you sure you want to treat us? I can pay for mom and my shopping," 

"It's fine, Dad," Issei replied with a smile, watching how Rita and Elysia modeled a bored-looking Ophis in numerous attires. He earned a lot of money for his custom Soul-woven clothes, making him go through most of the spirit threads he had in reserves. He could feel the bond he had with his soul ally get stronger and he would be able to reunite with Aegis. Not only that, spending years in another world made him cherish his parents more and compared to all he spent on his gear, this was a slight change compared to them. 

Speaking of which, after the reveal that Ophis did not have many clothes other than her stripperific gothic lolita attire, Elysia, Asia, and Rita immediately dragged him to their home and one thing led to another, causing the group to go shopping. 

Sensing something, the Dragonlord felt an evil aura, similar to Rias, but more malicious around them, focused on Elysia and Asia. 

"Dad, can you take care of this? I have to use the restroom," Issei said, using a tone that would not give his father enough time to argue.

"Uh, okay, get back here soon,"

Diodora Astaroth grinned as he looked at his newest prize, Asia Argento. She was flanked by the strongest exorcist of their generation, Biaka Ataegina, along with Rita Rossweisse, an agent for the church. He was curious as to what his beloved Asia was doing and to his surprise, here she was. Not only that, she had another holy maiden with her. He found another diamond this time. It disturbed him that Ophis was with them, but maybe he could have them as his reward. 

The thought of two holy maidens falling to his grasp excited the young heir. As the younger brother of one of the two rulers, he wouldn't get in trouble as long as no Solid proof was found. Maybe, he can injure himself again or- 

Turning around, the heir of Astaroth could only feel pain. A dagger of ice pierced and stabbed through his chest. 

"Who?" 

Pain. Pain flooded the Astaroth heir's body as holy light condensed on the dagger of ice spread through his veins. No, it was unbearable! Even Ophis' snake was not reacting to it! Calculating his loss, Diodora Astaroth glared and looked back at where his target was and found the brown-haired teen that left now back at the scene. 

The pain was becoming more and more unbearable. Taking a bottle of liquid, the heir of Astaroth chucked all the contents, causing his body to heal from the damage. Disappearing from the place through a magic circle, a shadow moved, revealing the face of one Issei Hyoudou. 

"Diodora Astaroth," Issei whispered, remembering the details on the file Serafall gave him. "Interesting, he seems to have some sort of holy light lingering in his body..." The pervert thought to himself before storing away the file for later. 

'Asia is a holy saint but she has two high-level church agents,' The pervert thought to himself. Asia is a friend, one of his and Elysia's closest. The pervert let out a deep breath as his mind formed calculations upon calculations. 'A high-class noble and direct relative of a ruler... shit... this is a mess,' 

"Did you get him?" Rita Rossweisse, one of the Church's top agents asked, looking at Issei. 

"I scared him off," The pervert replied.

"It must be the same devil Asia helped,"

"Diodora Astaroth," The two said as one. The maid of Bianka Ataegina looked at the pervert. 

"Rita, can you do me a favor and find out if some holy maidens like Asia went missing... I have a bad feeling about this and I pray to the Avatars and the god of breasts that it's not what I think it is..." 

Catching his message, the maid's visible eye nodded as he went out of the area, to hopefully contact her superiors.
