In the end, Issei finally managed to land a blow on Roxanne. Although Roxanne was holding back very much, what Issei did was a very great accomplishment. However, the person himself didn't care about it as he was murmuring something while hugging the magazine.
"You know Issei if you keep acting like this even I would feel disgusted. " Roxanne said as she gazed at Issei with disapproving eyes. Usually, she wouldn't mind Issei's preversions as she was used to it but this is too much even for her.
Hearing her words issei fully immersed in his fantasy, suddenly came back to the real world. He then looked at Roxanne and said apologetically, "Hahaha sorry about that I don't know what came over me"
Seeing his sincere eyes Roxanne released a tired sigh and said, " No it's fine as long you don't behave like this again. But I'm quite surprised though. You managed to fight me for a whole week straight without stopping for even a second. If we had recorded this and posted it on the Devil net you may get famous in just a few days. "
"Huh, a whole week. You are saying we fought a whole week. " Issei exclaimed in disbelief. " I didn't even notice it "
"Well duh of course you wouldn't notice it. You were fighting me like a possessed beast. " Roxanne retorted.
"Hahaha " Issei smiled awkwardly as he tried to avoid looking into Roxanne's gaze. But he suddenly froze as he suddenly realized something very important.
"Wait if I was fighting for a whole week doesn't that mean I missed the date I was supposed to meet with Rias and the others? "Issei said as he panicked.
Before the start of his fight, he and Tannin were training in the mountains for almost a week and a half. And his training was supposed to be for two weeks. So if another week has passed by then he is late for their meeting date by 3-4 days.
Just as Issei was getting all anxious Roxanne said, "You don't need to worry about this Issei. Before we began our spar I placed a barrier that would quicken the time by 10 times. So in the outside world it has just been almost a few hours.
" wait you could do that " issei asked in surprise,
"Of course I am Roxanne there is almost nothing I can't do, " Roxanne said proudly as she puffed up her chest.
" aha " issei said absentmindedly as his eyes were glued to the bouncing pair of boobs.

" Hope we have a happy cooperation in the future, " Tannin said as he and Ereshkigal shook hands with each other.
They had just finished negotiating the sales of the devil fruits. Each season Ereshkigal would supply them about 1,000 devil fruits and each fruit would be priced at 1 thousand US dollars. The fruits would be delivered by the Shadow Garden so there would be no need for Ereshkigal to be in danger of discovering her small farm.
Tannin had no problems with these conditions except for the fact that he wished he could get more devil's fruits.
What you thought he wanted was to lower the price. Hello, the dragons lack anything but wealth. And besides no dragon would be greedy for their wealth when they hear there is fruit that could help adult dragons refine their bloodline.
Fortunately, there is a limit on how many apples an adult dragon can eat a year. If not there would be a bloodbath in the dragon valley.
An adult dragon could take 3 apples a year. After that, he has to wait another 3-5 years for his body to get used to the new strength increase. Unlike young dragons, their bodies don't adapt to changes as fast as when they were young.
A child dragon can take up to 5 apples a year before he too would have to wait for another year to eat another apple. During this time he could eat dragon apples but that is on the premise that he would train hard for the whole year. Or else there would be no change in his strength even if his blood was refined.
"So should I come back with someone to sign a contract to finalize the business transaction? " Tannin asked as he looked at Ereshkigal for her opinion.
Ereshkigal shook her head and said, " No need Roxanne already made one for us "She then proceeded to take a golden-coloured contract from one of the drawers.
Seeing the colour of the contract Tannin was a bit surprised. That is a soul contract that was used in the underworld in the past. It was very popular when doing business transactions in the past. But it was lost with time as many couldn't cheat their way out of it.
After taking out the contract tannin began to read it carefully. He tried his very best to see any loopholes and after finding none he nodded his head in agreement. Then he proceeds to sign the contract by dropping a bit of his blood.
Ereshkigal also followed suit after Tannin handed her the contract. After both parties signed the contract they felt an invisible chain connecting them indicating that the contract was established.
" I will send the first batch of devil fruits to you in a week. You can pay me the amount after confirming the goods. " Ereshkigal said.
To this Tannin nodded this was the standard procedure. And he needed some time to select the suitable people to try the devil fruits first.
"Well, I will take my leave then. But I wonder if you could show me the place where that girl took Issei. " Tannin asked as he needed to go back and he couldn't do that without informing Issei.
"No need to look for us, we are here "a voice came from behind the door. And soon after the door was opened and Roxanne with Issei by her side came to the room.
" So I assume everything went well, " Roxanne asked as she noticed the golden contract that was slowly disappearing in the air. That is a normal thing as in the future any of them could summon the contract at will.
" Hmm It went super well, " Ereshkigal said, trying her best not to show the goofy smile that was threatening to appear on her face.
While Roxanne and Ereshkigal were talking, Tannin looked at Issei with shock. He could feel Issei had become stronger again. Although the increase is not visible to the naked eye, Tannin could see it with his years of experience,
He wondered what these two did to make Issei stronger in just a few hours. Maybe it has something to do with the book that Issei is holding.
He seems to be protecting it like it is a treasure he would protect at the cost of his own life.
