All of a sudden I found myself standing in the middle of a dark medieval castle, on a plush red carpet?!
Next to me stood a confused looking, Motohama.
Both of us are wearing the male Kuoh Academy uniforms.
He then looked at me and asked.
"Matsuda, do you know why Issei invited us to this creepy castle?"
I blankly stare at him and say or ask back.
"What do you mean, Issei invited us here?"
Damn I'm confused.
Flicker Flicker Flicker~! All of a sudden, the torches on the walls in the throne room lit up one-by-one and we found ourselves standing in the middle of a throne-room, with glorious pillars on each side of the room.
But that wasn't what stood out here, but what was happening on the King's throne.
There was Issei, sitting topless with most of the known D×D Heroines that I can remember, all butt ass naked!
Like an Imperial Harem, they were taking care of him.
Rias and Akeno were fighting to be the one to put grapes in his mouth.
The super sexy Nekoshou Kuroka leaped between the two, and force fed grapes from her mouth into Issei's mouth.
She then turned to face Motohama and I, sat in Issei's lap, and said to the girls there...
"That's how you do it girls... Nya~!"
I was absolutely speechless at this surreal scene happening in front of me!
Remember this isn't a 2D cartoon world, but what I'm witnessing is 3D events, that even include temperatures, sounds, smells, and touch.
Issei then said super excitedly to us both...
"Like my Harem? If you pair of losers stop spanking it, you just might get a harem to fill your every desire."
For some reason all of this just felt off, but I don't know why?!
And while pondering life itself... I noticed what was off!
Grayfia Lucifuge, wife of The Great Satan Sirzechs Lucifer, was standing off to the left side of the great-hall.
Like the others, she too was naked in all her glory.
I saw sadness and regret in her eyes, but why?
I feel like her life was hard, and she has much guilt about some war in the past?
She is very beautiful, and I don't mean that in a horn-dog way.
Actually, out of all of the D×D Heroines, Grayfia was my personal favorite, because of her sad fate as a Devil...
I was so entranced by Grayfia, that I had not noticed a certain big-breasted blonde Kitsune, blonde Nun, and another blue haired Exorcist, who were as confused as Grayfia...
All of a sudden I heard Issei's loud voice!!
"Matsuda, do you like what you see there?"
Click~! He then snaps his fingers like with [Dress Break], in Grayfia's direction and says.
"Grayfia, come here!"
She then began walking to him reluctantly, but he said.
"No, a good harem member crawls to her Husband!"
She had reluctance in her eyes a bit, but slowly, like invisible puppet-strings controlling her body, crawled on all fours...
Okay, I don't have this kind of friend, and say to this Evil Issei...
"Issei, why are you doing this? She doesn't want to, and you're not that kind of man to demean a woman like this... Plus she is married to your Brother-in-law Sirzechs Lucifer!"
Confusion, disbelief, and shock was seen on Grayfia's face at my words?!
Issei said with a happy smile, like a real perverted villain...
"I am the Harem King! All women are mine to fondle and have sex with! I got it! I might go meet that hot mother of yours after I'm done with Grayfia!"
A rage erupted I didn't know I had, and yelled at this Fake Issei...
"Fuck you Issei, I won't let you lay your hands on those women, my Mom, or Grayfia!"
Buzz~ Step Step Step! Before I knew it, I was running at Issei with a 20-foot long lance of golden Holy Light ready to stop him by force...
Issei held out his left hand and said...
"Boosted Gear!"
Then he smirked at me, held up his gauntlet clad left forearm, and both the voices of Issei and Ddraig Goch said...
[Boost... ×50]
"Crucify!"
"Huh?!"
I realized I'm high up in the air, bound to a crimson cross. with my hands and legs held firm.
With a quick look, I noticed Motohama was no longer there either?! Then what was going on hit me...
"I see now, I'm dreaming... Phew!"
I let out a half relieved voice, knowing I will wake up from this nightmare.
[Partner, I can sense the Aura of the Biblical God on him, hm-mm? He is evidently the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, Son of the man that trapped me. You know what to do, partner!]
Grayfia and a few Heroine Harem members of Issei, heard this and had shock and horror on their faces!
I kinda feel like a monster with some of those gazes on me.
Issei cheerfully says to the glowing green gem, in his Sacred Gear.
"Sure buddy, no problem!"
Step Step Step~! He then walked below me, and lifted his gauntlet in my direction...
Swoosh~! Ascalon, the magic sword blade lengthened from it...
Slitch~! Piercing right into my rib-cage, where the True Longinus once did... Damn that hurts.
I looked to his harem, and said for my own piece of mind in my dream...
"I know it is only a dream, but forgive me anyway, for failing to free you all from him..."
I said this with a painful smile, as I looked at Grayfia.
Issei with an insane rage yells!
"Hey~hey! Matsuda, will you die for my sins, haha?"
Swoosh~ Spurt~! Issei then retracted the sword from my body, and my bloody smile showed brightly, as I instinctively answered him...
"I will... And I have already, so I forgive you..."
Then my dream faded, as the amount of blood gushing was exaggerated...
-
[Matsuda, get up you damn traitor~!]
My Dad's loud voice startled me awake from my weird ass nightmare I was having.
"Oh?! That's right... I forgot to set that sexy ass alarm clock?" (He did set it, but it didn't go off.)
I guess my Dad is calling for breakfast. I yelled back at that crazy man-whore.
"Dad, don't get your panties into a bunch, I'm going down now!"
-
It seems my Mom left for work, so it is my Dad and a box of cold cereal, yup.
My Dad then said back to me...
"Hey the last couple of days before school begins, starting today, I need you to help watch the shop for me. You see, your Grams needs my help in Tokyo for a day or two..."
I tell him, while eating my Sugar Puffs.
"Okay? Sure Dad, but make sure to say hi to Grandma for me."
I gave him a thumbs-up.
-
A couple hours later, I finished opening the book store for the day's business...
My family owns this store and is just a Mom and pop store found all over Japan.
I did underplay what this store is about, by just calling it an adult bookstore, but that is far from the truest description.
At home Mom and I call it that to make Dad feel good... In reality the adult section is just a small room behind a curtain, with an age restriction on it.
What this store truly is... Is a bookstore with normal light reading, manga, light novels, and even some accessory merchandise for tourists.
So while it was slow, I started reading everything that was new this month...
-
A day later, it was finally Sunday and my last shop day...
Ding Ding~! About 10 minutes after opening, I was reclined behind the counter, when a super suspicious character came in.
For just a second, I thought it was a robbery!
Then I blinked in disbelief!
What came into the store, acting like a thief running from the police, was a woman wearing an all grey tracksuit, shower cap, face-mask, and topped off with a pair of reading glasses.
I was stupefied, not at the stupid as fuck get up, but the fact I instantly recognized who it was! (The curse of God kicks in here, cough.)
I said to myself. (Around Rias Gremory, he is forced to subconsciously blurt things out-loud.)
"Rias, with a body like that and beautiful blue eyes, who wouldn't recognize you anywhere?!"
I then ran my hand down my face in frustration, at this anime trope gone wrong.
All of a sudden, the crappily disguised individual turned and asked me...
"What did you just say?"
Pretending I didn't slip up, I said...
"I said... Welcome and thank you for shopping at Tanaka's!"
Okay, so what I said before was said out loud, and not in my mind... Holy crap, do all reincarnates turn dumb all of a sudden?
"No, I clearly heard you call my name?!"
Let's roll with it then.
"All I meant is you're too pretty for a simple disguise like that to work! First, go with sunglasses, then get a wig, ugly is better. Wear a puffy dress and hide your body proportions a bit, um, a lot."
I shrug and continue...
"You stand out in a good way, and as for knowing your name, I'm going to school with you tomorrow, and my two idiot friends have scoped out every super sexy upperclassman. Sigh, They are idiots."
I pointed to the register, and grinned.
"And as far as you being in this store, we have a privacy policy to never reveal our customers info, unless you don't buy anything, then I can squeal like a pig!"
Which one of us is the devil now?
Flash Click~! And at that Rias realizes that a flash from my smartphone took her current appearance.
Hiding my phone, I smile and say...
"Buy lots, alright, hehe!"
-
Ding Ding~! Half an hour later and 2 full bags of shit I can hardly get rid of normally, and Rias is on her way out the door...
She turned and said at the door...
"Thanks, you were a big help in choosing some novels for me! Oh, How rude of me, what's your name?"
Ah, That's right!
"Matsuda Tanaka, a 1st year student."
She then smiled and left.
"Too bad I didn't get to see what she looks like in real life, but from what I could tell she is definitely hot!"
-
Outside Tanaka's store, in an alley...
Rias summons a red magic circle next to her ear, and what comes out of it is a familiar voice...
[Yes President?]
Rias asks, her Queen Akeno.
"The boy you met at your home, what was his name again?"
[His name was Matsuda Tanaka, President... Do you need anything?]
With her Gremory blood for finding talent boiling, she tells her...
"No Akeno I don't, but I just met him in his family bookstore called Tanaka's, and he is going to be a 1st year student in our school, so we will see him plenty. Anyway, prepare for school tomorrow, and see you later."
