Chapter 37

(Momo P.O.V)

Ever since Issei was revealed as the Red Dragon Emperor, I've always had to balance my obligations to Sona, with my obligations to the supernatural world. Unlike Issei, who can ignore everything supernatural, I'm stuck knee deep in it and today was just another example. "So, there you have it" I said with a bitter smile as I sat at my desk while my friend Misao relaxed on my bed. Misao was kidnapped by a revived Yamato, something I was still pissed at Issei for hiding from us. After he saved her, she was brought over to me, and I told her to get some rest and we'll talk afterwards. She slept until about 30 minutes ago and I told her everything.

"This is insane." Misao replied unsure of what else to say and I couldn't blame her. She learned quite a few of her classmate were supernatural beings and that the man she loved had a dragon in his arm would be tough for anybody. Then of course there was the Diodora Issei Yamato connection which was a real pain in the ass. Honestly it was driving me crazy, and I was a bystander.

"Yeah. I'm pissed at Issei for leaving me to deal with this, but I suppose it makes sense since I can erase your memories."

"About that. When he saved me, he did something so magic wouldn't work on me for 24 hours."

"Of course he did" I groaned.

"Well, it's a good thing he did because I want to get Issei's thoughts." Misao admitted.

"I'm not sure if that's a good thing." I lamented. Issei didn't have a great opinion of the supernatural and this whole thing wasn't going to help.

"Probably not but it does explain how he's managed his lifestyle."

"That's true." I sweatdropped.

"Well let's stop talking about Issei and take a chance to catch up. Ever since you became Issei's manager you've become distant."

"Sounds like a plan." I replied and we just spent some time talking. It was nice to catch up with Misao because it had been a long time since we spoke. Hopefully her conversation with Issei would be as productive as this one was.

(Normal P.O.V)

As he arrived at Kuoh Academy there was a lot on Issei Hyoudou's mind. Recent events guaranteed that he'd have to deal with quite a few headaches today. Reaching for his phone, he checked his schedule and wasn't surprised to see that the ORC was his club visit. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that his date for tonight was Jeanne, "Well this should be interesting" Issei chuckled. After what happened, Issei figured Momo would keep Jeanne away from him. Looking up, he spotted Momo waiting for him at the gate.

"Good morning, Issei." Momo said with a stern expression.

"Hello Momo." Issei replied well aware that Momo was angry at him and for good reason.

"Misao is waiting for you in the sex room. She wants to talk with you before a decision is made on her memories" Momo said with clear anger in her voice.

"Very well" Issei nodded before walking in. After changing shoes, Issei quickly made his way over to the classroom and opened the door to find Misao in the middle of the room sitting on the chair.

"Thank you for meeting with me." Misao said softly.

"Of course. How are you feeling?" Issei wondered.

"I'd love to sit here and smile like usual to say that I'm okay but we both know I'm not. Learning about the supernatural was crazy and honestly, I can't figure out how you deal with it all."

"It's tough at times but I manage." Issei admitted.

"Yes, and that leads me to the real reason I brought you here. Momo is pretty sure you brought me to her to erase my memories of what happened after that protection spell wore off. Is that true."

"Yes and No." Issei replied.

"What do you mean?" Misao wondered.

Issei took a deep breath, "I brought you to Momo because you needed somebody safe, and I couldn't be that under the circumstances."

"Circumstances?" Misao wondered.

"Yes. The devils in the area tend to frown upon unrelated humans learning about the supernatural for obvious reasons. You not only learned about it but were pulled into the deep end. Momo was the best person to bring you to under the circumstances."

"Makes sense. So, what happens now."

"Well, that depends. The smart move would be to erase your memories of what happened. The good news is that Yamato only targeted you and nobody else knows besides us."

"What about Yamato's master. Momo never told me what happened to him."

"Oh that. I killed him myself. I'm generally neutral. but when somebody goes after people I care about, my neutrality goes out the window" Issei replied firmly.

Misao winced, "Is that why you killed Yamato the first time."

"Yep. I'm much more of a lover than a fighter but if I have to fight, I'm as ferocious on the battlefield as I am in the bedroom." Issei said cheekily.

Misao chuckled at that because she knew both sides, "I think I know what I want to do?"

Issei smiled, "You heard her Momo. Get in here." Issei smiled.

Misao blinked but out of nowhere Momo appeared in a magic circle, "I take it you guys are done." Momo said calmly.

"We are. I'll leave the rest to you." Issei replied.

"Thanks a lot." Momo deadpanned.

"Last time I checked you are my harem manager." Issei replied.

Momo twitched, "Just get to class. I still have another hour until I can erase her memories thanks to a certain somebody."

"It was either that or let her die. I'd say I chose the easier alternative."

Momo twitched because he was right, "Just go."

"See ya" Issei replied, and he made his way to class. He was a little late, but he could explain that away later. At least for now things with Misao were taken care of.

(Scene Skip)

"How much did you know Valerie?" Rias Gremory scowled as she sat at her desk and stared at the White Dragon Empress. It was lunchtime so they could talk in relative peace which was a good thing since she was still reeling from the weekend.

Valerie looked at Rias with a mocking smirk, "I don't see why you're so angry at me Rias. You had plenty of evidence that Diodora was a bastard, so you should've been prepared for anything during your rating game." Valerie replied ruthlessly.

"You're telling me I should've been prepared for my servant to be kidnapped right in front of me." Rias protested.

"Yes. The minute you found out that Diodora was the devil that Asia saved, alarm bells should've been ringing in your head. The fact it didn't isn't on me." Valerie replied.

Rias was fuming since Valerie was right, "This couldn't get any worse." Rias sighed just as someone knocked on the door.

"It's Sona. I thought I should tell you about a situation that happened recently." Sona said politely.

"Come on in." Rias replied trying to ignore the smirk on Valerie's face.

The door opened and Sona walked in nervously along with a girl she didn't recognize, "Rias, I'd like you to meet the newest member of the council, assistant secretary Misao Suzuri." Sona said calmly.

Misao walked over to Rias and smiled, "It's a pleasure to meet you Ms Gremory." Misao said politely.

Rias had a bad feeling in the back of her neck because Misao wasn't somebody Sona had identified as having supernatural powers of any kind, "Sona. Why is Misao here." Rias asked nervously.

Sona flinched, "Let's just say your rating game with Diodora had another twist that we were… unaware of." Sona frowned.

Valerie and Rias both frowned, "What happened." Rias said calmly.

Sona explained what happened and needless to say Rias was furious that this was hidden from her, "Did you know about this." Rias said angrily as she turned towards Valerie.

"Actually, I didn't. Clearly Issei was doing things behind the scenes also." Valerie scowled. Knowing Issei, he figured he could deal with it himself, but he was wrong.

"That sounds about right." Misao said calmly.

Rias took a deep breath, "So what's next for all of us." Rias wondered.

"I don't know. I imagine our siblings discussing what to do as we speak. Honestly this is all just a mess." Sona groaned.

Rias sighed because there was nothing she could do, "We'll figure it out Sona. We usually do." Rias lamented. Issei had a lot to answer for when he arrived at the clubroom later today.

(Scene Skip)

"And. Here. We. Go." Issei muttered as he arrived at the ORC. Opening the door, he found Rias at her desk with Akeno by her side. Azazel was against the window alongside Raynare Valerie and Le Fay. Irina and Xenovia were relaxing against the opposite wall along with Valerie. Asia and Gasper were on one of the two couches with Koneko and Kiba on the other, "Hello everyone." Issei said calmly.

"Hello Issei." Rias said icily. She was clearly mad at him and honestly, he couldn't blame her.

Issei simply leaned against the door, "So how angry are you with me Rias."

"Depends. Are you talking about Diodora or Yamato?" Rias replied.

"Both" Issei said calmly.

"I was furious at you for Diodora, but Valerie and I discussed that already. Yamato is another matter entirely." Rias answered.

"Given everything happening with Asia, I felt that it was better to take care of it myself. Worst case scenario I bring in Sona and Momo which is what I ended up doing." Issei replied. He had no shame in what he did, and it all worked out.

"Do you have that little faith in me." Rias said with a very upset look in her eyes.

"It's got nothing to do with how little faith I have in you. It has everything to do with the circumstances." Issei replied. Misao was in a bad place and Momo and Sona would've focused on her.

Rias wanted to say something, but Azazel interjected, "I wouldn't worry about it too much. Sona took care of it and now we can move on."

Rias was furious but Azazel was right, "Speaking of moving on. Do you know what will happen to the rating game tournament? Diodora's actions mean that things have to change" Rias wondered. He laid the perfect trap and there was no telling what would happen if thing stayed as they were.

"I don't know. Your brother and the other Maou are discussing what to do." Azazel said calmly.

"I see." Rias replied.

"Any clue what happens to whatever is left of his peerage" Issei wondered.

"Don't you have enough girls." Irina scowled.

Issei cracked a smile, "I wasn't asking because I wanted to add them to my harem, I was asking because they may have useful insight into the group behind Diodora."

"Doubt it. Rias may have left them alive, but they were thoroughly broken. They're currently being rehabilitated at one of Ajuka's hospitals, but I doubt they'll be of much use." Azazel frowned.

Irina looked alarmed by that and for good reason, "Do you… do you think they'll ever be better?" Irina asked nervously worried about her former mentor.

"Hard to say." Azazel replied.

"I see" Irina sighed.

"Well, I'm out of here." Issei replied finding the atmosphere to be a bit heavy for his taste.

"So just like that you're leaving." Rias exclaimed.

"Yep. It's obvious this club visit was to discuss the Diodora mess. Seeing as how that's over, I'm gone." Issei said calmly as he moved to leave.

"Hold on Issei." Valerie spoke up.

"What is it, Valerie?"

"Given what happened with Diodora, I'd say you owe it to Rias to finish the club visit." Valerie smiled.

Issei looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "What makes you say that?"

"Last time I checked you have a few lovers here and you did hide important information from everyone. Think of finishing your club visit as your way of apologizing."

Issei could appreciate the logic flawed as it was, "So now that I'm done being the Red Dragon Emperor, it's time to be Hottie Magnet Hyoudou huh." Issei shrugged.

"Kiba Gasper Koneko Asia, we'll be back soon." Rias said happily as she got up. She was still angry, but this would go a long way towards calming her down.

"Don't have too much fun." Azazel smiled.

"After the weekend we've had. This is just what we need." Rias smiled as she and the rest of Issei's lovers left to go enjoy themselves.

(Scene Skip)

It was time for his date with Jeanne and Issei was dressed to impress in a black jacket with a red shirt and black pants with black shoes. Just as he was about to leave to take the long trip to Nochizuri, he sensed a familiar presence arrive in front of his house, "Well this can't be good." Issei thought to himself. Making his way downstairs he walked outside and waiting for him was a smiling Himiko and the Ichizuri personal limo

"Hello Issei, I hope you don't mind but there's been a slight change of plans for your date and before you ask Momo signed off on it." Himiko said calmly as she opened the door.

Issei simply nodded before getting into the limo and wasn't shocked to find Shizuka sitting on the opposite side in the Black Moon uniform, "Care to explain why you and Kurokami are interfering in my date." Issei wondered.

"Because we're trying to protect you from yourself." Shizuka said calmly.

"We?" Issei said with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes. Kurokami and I may have our issues, but we both agree on two things. The first is that we love you dearly. The second is that Genevieve Arcana is bad news." Shizuka said firmly. Kurokami was her assistant manager now and as a result she saw the list. The look of anger on her face when she saw Genevieve's name was eye opening and after learning why. She had serious questions as to why Momiji allowed her in the group to begin with.

"I see" Issei replied unable to argue her points since even he had to admit that Jeanne was troublesome. The pair were silent for the rest of the trip until they finally stopped in front of the Lunar Eclipse.

"If you haven't already figured it out. The Ichizuri will be hosting your date with Jeanne." Shizuka said calmly.

"Sounds about right" Issei said calmly.

"Then let's go" Shizuka smiled as Himiko got out to open the door. Issei got out but there wasn't the same pomp and circumstance as his last visit. Walking into the restaurant, he noticed that it was empty which meant this truly was a private affair.

Eventually, the group arrived at the main room and Issei walked in to find quite the surprise, "When you said that the Ichizuri were hosting, you weren't kidding." Issei admitted with a bit of a whistle. Jeanne was sitting on one side of the circular table joining her the full Triad including their leader 'The Spartan' Pyrrha Nikos. Pyrrha had long red hair in a ponytail and green eyes. She was wearing a brown over bust corset and a black a line mini skirt with armor covering her lower legs with brown combat boots.

"So, you're the legendary Issei Hyoudou" Pyrrha smiled as she stood just behind Jeanne with Mel and Mil on her right and left flanks dressed in their usual dresses.

"I am and it's an honor to meet the legendary Spartan. However, I'm here for a date with Jeanne and I'd very much like to start that."

"That's fine. By the way Lady Kurokami has assured me I'll be getting a date with you myself very soon." Pyrrha smiled.

"But tonight, he's on a date with me." Jeanne said angrily. She was absolutely furious when Momiji told her that her date would be monitored. She understood why considering what happened with Diodora Astaroth but that had nothing to do with her.

"Yes I am." Issei smiled as he walked over to his seat. As he sat down, Shizuka and Himiko sat next to him flanking him just as the Triad did for Jeanne.

Jeanne was about to say something when the back door opened to reveal Kurokami in her kimono, "I apologize for this Issei, but after recent events, I felt that it was in your best interest to have some protection from the Khaos Brigade after recent events" Kurokami said firmly.

"Now hold on a minute. My group literally asked Issei to kill Diodora. You can't possibly think they'd harm him" Jeanne protested.

"That's your group, but as I understand it, there are multiple parts of the Khaos Brigade. What happens if these parts put pressure on your group to kill Issei?" Kurokami said harshly.

"I… I don't know." Jeanne said bitterly.

"Not that I don't find this topic entertaining, but how do you know about the Khaos Brigade in the first place Kurokami." Issei asked with a hint of amusement.

Kurokami looked like she swallowed a lemon, "Ironically enough, because of Jeanne here."

"Me!" Jeanne said in confusion.

"Back when my mother was in charge, somebody working for your group came to the Ichizuri and asked if they could use our resources to get you into a middle school in Japan. My mother didn't think too much about it at the time and agreed. When Shizuka returned to Issei's side, she recognized you as one of the members of his harem. I did a deep dive and discovered that your group was truly dangerous." Kurokami explained.

"So, you only found out about me recently?" Jeanne wondered.

"Yes. Why does that matter?" Kurokami wondered.

"Momiji is one of best parts of my life, I'm just glad that she wasn't watching over me to spy for anybody. By the way, Issei is another great part of my life and one I don't intend to lose anytime soon" Jeanne said firmly.

"I see" Kurokami replied.

"Now that we've established, that Jeanne isn't a danger do you mind if we have this date in private." Issei wondered.

"Afraid not Issei. There's no telling what could happen, so we'll be watching you all night."

"Wait! That means you'll be watching us have sex."

"Yep."

"Hell no!" Jeanne protested.

"I'm afraid you have no choice unless you want to be removed from the group." Shizuka replied icily.

Jaune widened her eyes at that, "You can't remove me from the group since I don't go to your school!" Jeanne protested.

"Typically, that's true. However, if I consider you a danger to Issei, I can have you removed via a vote from the other 5 leaders. Luckily for us, Issei told us about the supernatural and if we told them what Kurokami discovered, I doubt the vote would turn out well for you." Shizuka smiled viciously.

Jeanne was furious because she was trapped. Her group did some horrible things, and she couldn't escape that, "Fine." Jeanne pouted.

"Good girl" Shizuka replied with a smile.

"Do you mind if we start the date Shizuka." Issei said calmly trying to gather himself. He always knew that Shizuka and Kurokami were dangerous, but this was the first time he experienced it for himself, and it wasn't a pleasant feeling.

"Sure" Shizuka said warmly and what was by far one of the most awkward nights of Issei's life began.

(Scene Skip)

It was the day of the athletic festival and Issei couldn't help but wonder what was waiting for him as he walked into the Kuoh Academy building and towards his locker. It was the end of the week and outside of a very awkward date with Jeanne, things had been relatively peaceful. "What do you have planned for me Sona?" Issei muttered as he made his way to his locker. With the council in charge and quite a bit of payback coming his way for making them deal with Diodora, Issei suspected today would be the day he paid the piper.

"Hello Issei." Misao said calmly as she stood next to his locker waiting for him with a smile.

"Hello Misao, I take it you're doing well." Issei replied.

"I am. Now that I'm part of the council I can help you in both sides of your life." Misao said happily. Misao joined the student council and was acting as Momo's assistant when it came to Hottie Magnet Hyoudou.

Issei simply reached out and cupped her cheek with his right hand, "Sounds good. What happened to you was something I wouldn't wish on anybody but I'm glad everything is working out. Sona is a good person and she'll do right by you." Issei replied.

"I'm glad you think that but If you were the one making the decision about me, what would you do."

"Erase your memories." Issei said without hesitation.

"That quick." Misao replied in shock.

"Yes. I loathe the supernatural and I'd rather avoid them if I can help it." Issei admitted. He liked Ddraig, but the supernatural world is more trouble than it was worth most of the time.

"You had a club visit with the ORC on Monday and I saw the photo Kiryuu took of you and the council. You can't exactly pretend you avoid them."

"I avoid them when it comes to supernatural business. If a group of cute girls wants to have fun, I'm not going to say no" Issei smirked.

Misao cracked a smile, "You really are something Issei." Misao said happily as they walked to class. Misao was ready for the new chapter in her life and hopefully there would be more fun than danger but if there was danger, she knew Issei would be there for her.

(Scene Skip)

The good news for Issei was that Parents were able to watch the athletic festival so any potential antics would probably be negated. The bad news for Issei was that Momo was in charge and if anybody could pull something subtle, it would be her, "Alright everyone I'd like to welcome you to Kuoh's athletic festival. I'm the Student Council Secretary Momo Hanakai and I'm the one in charge of events today. Each year will be competing in four separate events and the winners of each event will receive a prize. Telling you guys what the prize is will ruin the fun, so I'll keep it a secret" Momo said with a smile as she sat behind the makeshift booth that was set up for them in the white shirt and blue bloomers that acted as the female gym uniform. There were 4 major events in the athletic festival: The 4 x100 meter dash; The Borrowing Race; The Bread Race; and the three-legged race. The bread race was a fun little race where you had to run 100 meters. Jump up and grab a piece of bread and hold it in your mouth as you run the last 50 meters.

'More like with parents there you can't reveal that the prizes involve me.' Issei thought to himself as he watched from the sidelines. Classes were cancelled so he decided to watch the first years go while his year got ready for their event. Issei was dressed in the male uniform of a white short sleeved shirt with black and white tracksuit bottoms. There was a tracksuit top, but it was warm enough that Issei didn't need it.

"Anyway. We'll be starting with the first year's events so first years come on out" Momo said happily as the first years walked out to applause from everybody.

The first event for the first years was the bread race and in an amusing twist of fate the winner of the race was Sakuya, a first year who confessed to him during the whole Kokabiel mess and one he hadn't seen since then. Given the smile on Momo's face, her reward was definitely going to involve him. The 4 x 100 race was won by a team mixed with guys and girls which was fine with him though Momo wasn't thrilled about that. The Borrowing Race was won by a young guy who got plenty of cheers, aside from Momo who was pretty annoyed since he was the only guy among that group. The three-legged race was a pleasant surprise. One of the teams was Ravel and Ruruko Nimura of the student council. Another team was a with a pair of cousins Touko and Mei who were Issei's lovers, and girls who were long overdue for a date much like Sakuya. Touko was a tall slender girl with long dark brown hair in a ponytail and big blue eyes. Mei was also pretty tall with brown hair in two buns above her ears with long locks going down to her waist and short locks right next to her.

(AN: Touko is the Japanese version female playable character for Pokémon Black and White while Mei is the one for Black 2 and White 2)

Issei couldn't choose who to cheer for and stayed silent. In a very close race. Mei and Touko managed to beat Ravel and Ruruko which was something else considering their supernatural powers. Momo didn't seem as happy due to her allegiance to the council which Issei understood.

"Congratulations to all our winners. Come see the student council after class tomorrow to receive your rewards." Momo smiled.

(Scene Skip)

It was time for the second years to go and Issei was by his class as everybody stretched. Xenovia looked excited for the bread race, but the real pleasure, at least for Issei, was seeing Matsuda getting ready to run the 4 x 100. He heard rumors that his protégé was a track star in middle school and he looked forward to seeing how it played out, "Alright everyone. Gather up." Issei said calmly and everyone walked towards him.

"I guess this is the part where you give us words of encouragement." Murayama smiled.

Issei rolled his eyes before looking at everyone competing, "I want you guys to do your best out there. No matter what happens all you guys are amazing for competing." Issei smiled.

"Thanks master." Matsuda smiled.

"We'll do our best." Le Fay smiled with Asia and Xenovia nodding.

"Excellent. Now let's do this." Issei smiled.

"Yeah!" Class 2-A shouted.

The first race was the 4 x 100 and it was a surprising victory for their class. Reports of Matsuda's skill in track wasn't exaggerated since he was even able to beat the captain of the Kuoh female track team Manami. Regardless of what Momo had planned, he was certainly going to reward his protégé for that effort later.

"It's time for the borrowing race so everyone get going." Momo shouted.

Issei watched as Irina went up to start the race and she had a smile on her face, 'That's not good.' Issei thought to himself. Up until now there was no funny business but if there was a time to do it, the borrowing race was the perfect chance. He may have had a deal in place with the committee, but at the end of the day the council could pull something if they wanted. Sure enough, Irina walked over to the cards but instead of picking something immediately she seemed to be looking for something. After finally picking a card, Issei wasn't surprised at all to see Irina walked straight to him.

"Mind helping me out Issei." Irina smiled before showing him the card.

"So, you just so happened to pick the card that said a male gym uniform." Issei said with a wry smile.

"Just take off your shirt and give it to me or you'll be the reason our class loses." Irina pouted.

"Fine" Issei rolled his eyes before grabbing his shirt and pulling it off. He heard plenty of whistles from the crowd as he stood their shirtless and Irina ran to the finish.

"Lucky bastard." Matsuda grumbled.

Ironically, Hase picked that moment to walk over to him with a card in hand, "Come on Matsu, I need to pick a cute guy and well… I chose you." Hase smiled.

Matsuda's eyes lit up and, "Let's go. If we hurry, we can beat Irina." Matsuda said happily before grabbing Hase and picking her up in a princess carry. Irina ultimately won, but it was another good moment for Matsuda.

'Good for you bud' Issei smiled. He would deal with Momo later but for now the focus turned to the bread race.

(Scene Skip)

The good news for Issei was that it was time for the bread race. The bad news for Issei was that he was still shirtless and the person who should've had his shirt was standing next to him with no shirt to be found, "Irina where is my shirt?" Issei replied.

Irina blushed since she was the one who technically borrowed the shirt from him, "Sorry, I was so caught up in enjoying my win that I never got it back from the person I had to hand it to" Irina replied bashfully.

"I see." Issei sighed. It was a total lie but there was nothing he could do about it. Clearly this was his payback and while it wasn't as dramatic as he thought it was effective.

"Look on the bright side." Irina smiled.

"What bright side. It's the middle of the day and my tracksuit top is in the lockers." Issei deadpanned. It wasn't cold but it wasn't warm either.

"You might be able to scratch of one of the more difficult things on your bucket list." Irina replied with a smile.

"I've got quite a few difficult things on my bucket list. Which one are you talking about?" Issei deadpanned.

"Take a look around and you'll know which one." Irina answered.

Issei looked around and quickly realized what Irina meant. Thanks to the small delay he was shirtless for some time and now people were starting to notice and not just his classmates. Quite a few parents saw him shirtless and from the blushes on their faces an oyakodon might be in his future, "I know which one you're talking." Issei replied.

"So am I forgiven." Irina replied shamelessly.

"Yes, you goofball." Issei replied before focusing on the race. It was a fun event that was ultimately won by Xenovia with second place going to a disappointed Saji. Issei took the break between the races to go grab his tracksuit top from his locker and got back just as the three-legged race was about to start.

"Here we go" Irina smiled.

"Yup. Let's see how Asia and Le Fay do." Issei replied as the two girls stood at the start with the other competitors including a very familiar pair.

"I don't think our team will be winning this one." Irina frowned

"Yeah." Issei nodded. Xuelan and Karlamine were competing for their class, and they were a well-oiled machine thanks to their time in the Phenex clan.

"Hopefully they get second." Irina replied.

"Agreed" Issei replied as they prepared to watch the race.

In what was a neck-and-neck battle Karlamine and Xuelan came out on top, but Le Fay and Asia took second place. He was proud of the girls and with that their portion of the festival came to an end.

(Scene Skip)

"Issei! Stop! I… need to get back to everyone else!" a naked Momo moaned as Issei fucked her ass from behind inside the girl's locker room. The athletic festival was over and while most of the council put everything away, Issei dragged Momo over to the lockers for a chat.

"You need to be punished Momo. The committee agreed not to put anything that could involve me, and you went behind their back to get me involved." a naked Issei smiled.

"I thought… you'd… like to have fun… with your girls." Momo countered trying to pretend it wasn't a subtle bit of payback.

"That's what the reward is for. You're just lucky that it didn't cause a fuss among the parents." Issei smiled not stopping at all.

"But…. there were tons of guys entered." Momo reminded him.

"This is for everybody Momo. Not just my harem. Speaking of rewards… what are you going to offer them." Issei mused.

"The guys… will get a shopping trip with your Red Dragon Line. The girls who want to will get a date with you OR a shopping trip of their own." Momo replied.

"Considering most of the girls who won from the first and second year are already in my harem that's not smart." Issei smirked. The 8 first year winners consisted of six girls and 2 boys. All six girls were members of his harem including Sakuya whose mother looked very interested in his impressive physique. In his year it was another 6-2 including Irina Xenovia Xuelan and Karlamine but ironically the two girls from the 4 x 100 race weren't members of his harem. He didn't watch the third years so he had no clue, but he would find out later.

"It… worked out that way. I didn't know about any of that until afterwards." Momo admitted. She was pleasantly surprised how many girls connected to him were involved from the first and second years.

"Mind if I ask something?" Issei wondered deciding to stop his movement to talk about something.

"Can this wait until after you're finished. It's kinda weird having a talk while you're buried in my ass." Momo deadpanned.

"Sure" Issei smiled as he finished Momo off.

As they got dressed to return to class, Issei asked his question. "What led to Misao joining the council."

"While you and Misao were talking about what happened, I was talking with Sona in the council room and listening in. When it was obvious that Misao would ask to keep her memories, I thought it would be nice to have her in the council" Momo replied as she started to get dressed.

"Why's that" Issei asked with intrigue.

"Because I owed Misao for making Hottie Magnet Hyoudou happen."

"Is that so" Issei replied curiously.

"Yes. After our first conversation I came to Misao for advice since she was one of the few friends I had at the time. She encouraged me and without her help I wouldn't have shed my wallflower image. When we formed the alliance, I thought Misao should've been a leader instead of me, but she said that I should do it because I was the one who you came to. She was just happy just being around you again." Momo replied before a thought occurred to her. "Speaking of which. Why was I the one you approached first? You clearly had a type back then and I wasn't that at all. Hell Misao was closer to your type then me."

Issei chuckled at that response, "Ironically, I chose you because you were so different from my 'type'. I wanted to forget about Irina, and it worked."

"How about that" Momo smiled.

"Now let's get going. I'm sure the others are waiting for us" Issei chuckled having finished getting dressed while they spoke.

"Sure. I've got rewards to hand out and considering how many dates I have to schedule for you, the other leaders are going to be pissed." Momo sighed also back in the Kuoh uniform.

"At least you have a lovely assistant to help you out." Issei said cheekily.

"That I do Issei. That I do" Momo smiled. The last week was a rollercoaster and thankfully she had a good friend who was along for the ride. Hopefully things calmed down so she could focus on Hottie Magnet Hyoudou for a little bit.
