Especially in the Hyoudou residence since there are more people living here this year. Both Ravel and Le Fay react happily where they both say “Yay”. “I, shall also go shopping.”
The Dragon God-sama that jumps out of the closet! Ophis, since when were you inside the closet!? Oh, looks like I won’t have time to hang out with Matsuda and Motohama…… No, I will at least like to have a single day where I can hang out with those guys……though it seems like Kiba and Gasper will come as well. …………
I say to Ravel after giving much thought about it. “……Ravel, I’m sorry but can you make me a schedule with precise times for me that includes my training for the New Year’s holiday? It seems like I won’t be able to act accordingly if I don’t decide on my plans carefully……”
Seriously, the Sekiryuutei sure does have busy schedules. I lately think that I’m the Sekiryuutei who has the busiest schedule in the whole history. After I completed my pact with Le Fay, I went to my room to get changed and am currently waiting at the entryway. I found a pair of long boots already prepared in the entryway……but do these perhaps belong to Rossweisse-san? Well, I really can’t imagine her wearing them so I originally thought they belonged to Rias or Akeno-san. Shortly after that, I sense the presence of someone walking down the stairs. When I turn that way—. I witness Rossweisse-san who is wearing a coat and a short skirt! ………… Rossweisse-san who is wearing clothing that the girls that are my age wear is standing right in front of me. It’s not the Rossweisse-san I see all the time at home who always wears jerseys! She has her silver hair done nicely and her lips are shiny, possibly because she put some lip cream on. Yes, the Onee-san who looks so poor isn’t standing in front of me! Since she is wearing the same kind of clothes that girls her age wear……my heart starts to beat faster with a single look at her! “……U-Umm.”
I don’t know what to say. Maybe because she realised my reaction, so Rossweisse-san starts to blush. “……Please don’t suddenly act so strangely. It will make it harder for me to do this. Even I will dress in a fashion like this.”
Rossweisse-san seems to be regretting it a bit. Oh, that was rude of me. But! Shocked isn’t the right word to describe how I am currently feeling towards how Rossweisse-san is dressed like a girl since I have seen her dress the way she usually does! Revolution! A revolution is happening right in front of me! “I’m sorry, s-shall we get going then?”
It happens when I said that. I catch a glimpse of people within my sight. When I look that way—Rias and Akeno-san appear from the corner of the corridor. Rias who is acting like how she usually does and Akeno-san who seems a bit sad. Rias then says. “You two need to be back by night. We will have a pre-meeting before we head to the Underworld.”
“ “Yes.” ”
Rossweisse-san and I replied back to her. Rias then suddenly puts on a bitter smile. “I have told Xenovia and the others to not interfere with you two.”
Ah, it certainly does seem like they will come follow us…… Maybe because she noticed me who thought about it, so Rias breathes out. “I won’t follow you. Even if anything happens, I will trust the man I chose, and I won’t sway even if something happens. I certainly did worry about how Rossweisse was acting and I certainly did get shocked when she asked you to be her boyfriend. But I won’t be able to call myself Rias Gremory if I can’t even trust Ise.”
She smiles saying that. ……She’s such a good woman. She trusts me and her group from the bottom of her heart. “However, I hope you go on a date with both me and Akeno.”
Rias winks while she says that. “Of course. If you two are okay with me.”
“—Going on a date with Ise-kun!”
Akeno-san puts on a bright expression after getting my reply. I certainly will go out with you if it’s me you want. ……Except, I don’t know when that will happen since I have a busy schedule! Like this, Rossweisse-san and I leave the house……

Even if I’m going out with Rossweisse-san, it doesn’t mean we will be staying in this town. Apparently Rossweisse-san wants to go to Tokyo, so we went on a transport. Approximately one hour after we went on a train to Tokyo from the nearest station, we arrive to Shinjuku station. We change trains once more from there to head to the station which will be our destination—. “……I wonder if she’s a model from overseas.”
“She’s amazingly beautiful……”
Inside the train, everyone is looking at Rossweisse-san. Of course. Anyone will look at her since she’s exceptionally beautiful. Except, since she’s also releasing an aura that beautiful girls carry which prevents people from approaching her, not a single person is coming to talk to her. Rossweisse-san herself seems a bit embarrassed and is acting awkward since she’s gathering people’s attention. “……If I wore either my jersey or suit, then I wouldn’t have found myself in this situation……”
Rossweisse-san starts to mumble. “That’s not true. You will stand out wearing anything since you are cute.”
I simply told her my honest impression, but Rossweisse-san on other hand is,
“…………”
Blushing and her cheeks are red! Hey hey hey hey, the usual Rossweisse-san would have replied back by saying “I will take that as a compliment”!? The same goes for Akeno-san, but it’s not fair for them to behave like this when we are going out! Even I am having a hard time trying to keep the conversation going! There was no conversation during the time inside the train, and we arrive at the destination fifteen minutes after that. The station we arrived at is stationed a bit away from the city. She said she has business at the station building, so we arrive to the floor where everything is a 100-yen shop. The moment we arrived to the floor, Rossweisse-san puts on a happy expression. She starts to talk with shaking voice and with a bright expression. “……T-This is the huge 100-yen store for women that I had been dreaming about……the “Bella”! It means beautiful or a beauty in Italian, and this brand only has fashionable items for women all lined up! It’s famous for having a high grade item that really doesn’t look like a 100-yen item just by the look of it……oh, look! That plate looks very fashionable! Oh, that penholder has a beautiful shape which has no flaw to it! Oh, this one has an amazing amount of storage space even with this size……!”
……S-She started to take a look at the products while she left me behind. She’s so bright that I have never seen her like this. Just by looking at her like this makes me realise once again that she’s a girl who is about the same age as me. ……Except, her hobby is a bit off…… I never expected we would be coming to a 100-yen shop today, here in Tokyo. Due to the clothing she’s wearing right now, I thought we would be going to a more gorgeous and fashionable looking place……
“Please take a look at this, Ise-kun! This, this, and even this costs 100 yen!
