Osaka City
Issei entered Azazel's residence kitchen, his stomach growling with hunger. He rummaged through the cabinets in search of something to eat, but all he found were some bags of chips and canned food.
"Where could Azazel have gone?" Issei muttered to himself, frowning as he searched for any clue of the whereabouts of the Fallen Angels leader.
"How would I know, Azazel is the leader of the Fallen Angels, he must be busy," replied Ddraig, his voice echoing in the young man's mind.
Issei rolled his eyes, knowing he wouldn't get much help from Ddraig. He opened the fridge in search of something more substantial, but only found a few beers and leftovers.
A sigh escaped Issei's lips as he closed the fridge, resigned to his lack of luck. His stomach rumbled loudly, reminding him of his growing hunger.
"I'm starving," complained Issei, his voice echoing through the empty kitchen.
Ddraig sensed a presence approaching the mansion.
"Issei, someone is teleporting to the mansion's entrance," communicated Ddraig, his voice resonating in the young man's mind.
Curious to know who it could be, Issei decided to go to the entrance to greet the visitor, although he was hoping it was Azazel.
Upon opening the door, Issei was surprised to see Sirzechs standing before him.
"Sirzechs-sama," greeted Issei, inclining his head slightly in a sign of respect.
Sirzechs smiled gently at Issei, acknowledging him with a nod of his head.
"Hello, Issei. How are you?" asked Sirzechs, his voice soft and gentle.
"I'm fine, thank you. But what brings you here, Sirzechs-sama?" questioned Issei, furrowing his brow with curiosity.
"I came for you, where's Azazel?" inquired Sirzechs, his eyes scanning the surroundings in search of the Fallen Angels leader.
Issei scratched his head, trying to remember the last time he saw Azazel.
"Well, he left a while ago and hasn't returned yet," explained Issei, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "I was in the kitchen trying to find something to eat, but no luck."
Sirzechs nodded, understanding the situation. He placed a comforting hand on Issei's shoulder.
"Don't worry, Issei. I'll take you back home. Rias is waiting for you," said Sirzechs, his tone reassuring.
Issei's eyes lit up at the mention of Rias. He felt his heart race with anticipation of seeing her again.
"Rias wants to see me?" asked Issei, his voice filled with excitement.
Sirzechs smiled, understanding the young man's reaction.
"Yes, she's eager to talk to you," replied Sirzechs, his smile widening as he saw the happiness on Issei's face.
However, before Issei could express his joy, Sirzechs placed a hand on his shoulder, his smile slowly fading.
"But before you go to her, there's something you need to know," said Sirzechs, his voice serious.
Issei furrowed his brow, perplexed by Sirzechs's sudden change in tone.
"What is it?" asked Issei, his curiosity piqued.
Sirzechs sighed, preparing to reveal delicate information.
"Rias has another marriage contract," announced Sirzechs, his voice heavy with concern.
Issei felt a wave of anger rising inside him at those words. His first thought went to the only other marriage contract he knew of.
"Is it that jerk Riser?" questioned Issei, his voice filled with indignation.
Sirzechs shook his head, a somber expression crossing his face.
"No, it's Diodora Astaroth," replied Sirzechs, his voice filled with disgust. "He's a despicable demon who wants to marry her."
Issei's anger surged upon hearing Diodora's name. He clenched his fists with determination.
"Whether it's Riser or Diodora, I won't allow Kaichou to marry anyone," declared Issei, his voice firm and resolute.
Sirzechs mentally smiled at Issei's determination.
"That's great," thought Sirzechs to himself. "This idiot will be easy to use."
Sirzechs placed a hand on his shoulder, interrupting his tumultuous thoughts.
"Come, Issei. I'll take you back home. Rias is waiting for you."
"But what about Azazel? Shouldn't we inform him of our departure?" suggested Issei.
Sirzechs shook his head, his expression serious.
"Don't worry about Azazel. I'll take care of that later."
Issei trusted Sirzechs's word and followed him to the mansion's entrance. He watched attentively as Sirzechs began to conjure teleportation magic.
In the blink of an eye, Sirzechs and Issei disappeared from the mansion's entrance.
Sirzechs's Office
Rias was standing in the office, discussing some matters with Grayfia, when suddenly the silence was broken by the sudden arrival of Sirzechs and Issei.
"Onii-Sama, Issei!" exclaimed Rias, her eyes lighting up with surprise and joy as the two men entered the room.
Issei looked at Rias with determination in his eyes. "Kaichou, you don't need to worry. I won't let anyone marry you," he declared, his voice firm and decisive.
Rias was taken aback by Issei's determination, feeling a comforting warmth fill her heart. She smiled gently at him, grateful for his reassuring words.
"Thank you, Issei. It means a lot to me," she said, her voice soft and warm.
Sirzechs placed a comforting hand on Issei's shoulder, conveying his silent support.
"I'm glad you're here, Issei. Your help will be invaluable," stated Sirzechs, his smile sincere.
Grayfia watched the interaction between the four with her usual sharp gaze.
"Kaichou, let's put an end to this marriage contract together," declared Issei, his voice full of confidence.
Rias nodded, feeling strengthened by Issei's determination and Sirzechs's support.
"Yes, let's do this," she agreed, her voice firm.
Issei looked at Rias with a curious expression.
"Kaichou, are you going to Kuoh or to the Gremory mansion?"
Rias pondered for a moment before answering.
"I'm going to Kuoh. There are some things I need to take care of there," she replied, her voice soft and calm.
Grayfia sighed, resigning herself to Rias's decision.
"Well, then I'll go with you," declared Grayfia, her voice serious.
Rias nodded, grateful for Grayfia's support.
"Thank you, Grayfia. Your presence will be comforting," she said, her tone warm and sincere.
Rias turned to Sirzechs.
"Onii-sama, thank you for everything. I'll take care of things in Kuoh and be back soon."
Sirzechs smiled gently at Rias, conveying his fraternal love.
"Take care, Rias. I'll be waiting for you when you return," he affirmed, his tone affectionate.
Issei also bid farewell to Sirzechs, expressing his gratitude.
"Thank you for bringing me back, Sirzechs-sama."
"Good luck, Issei. Take good care of Rias," said Sirzechs, his friendly smile.
Grayfia, Issei, and Rias teleported away.
Once Sirzechs was alone in his office, he sat down at his desk and picked up his phone. He made a call to Ajuka Beelzebub.
"Hello, Ajuka," greeted Sirzechs, his voice soft and calm. "I need to talk to you about an urgent matter."
