It won’t be weird for anything to happen. I was just thinking about seeing Onee-sama so I will be going back for a short time. I will be back by tomorrow night.”
……She would tell me directly if it was really serious and the fact that she has to return means that they want to inform something to Rias which can’t be revealed to the public. I’m worried about what actually happened but I feel relieved that she can go and meet Grayfia-san. “Roger that. Then we will do the rest of the cleanup. —Give my greetings to Grayfia-san.”
When I said that, she smiles back to me saying “Okay, I sure will. Thanks”. Late that night—
“……Hmm, Ise……do you think I have a baby inside me with this……? I’m worried that it isn’t, so one more time……”
I can hear such seductive sleep talk from besides me! Akeno-san who is sleeping as if she’s wrapped around me! Since Rias isn’t here tonight, I ended up sleeping with Asia and Akeno-san! Due to Rias’s absence, Akeno-san snuck into my bed while wearing a see-through negligee! I won’t be able to sleep if she says such sleep-talk right beside me! What kind of dream exactly are you watching Akeno-san!? What am I doing inside your dream!? I’m so curious of it that I don’t think I can go to sleep! Rather I have the soft sensation of a woman’s body all over my body! And I can’t move an inch if she is hugging onto me like this! So I hug Akeno-san tightly, and—
“……Aaan, Ise……”
She strengthens her hug and says such things in her sleep so it makes it harder for me to move even more! Umm! Umm! How can I lead this defenceless Akeno-san to my liking!? I ended up using my brain the most for today but there’s someone poking me. Asia? Even though I turned around thinking it was her, I find her sleeping. Then when I look around trying to find out who it is—
(……Shhh!) Xenovia appears while putting her body over me! She uses her finger to tell me to be quiet. (X-Xenovia. Something happened late this night?) I ask with a low voice to avoid Akeno-san and Asia from waking up. (……Rias-buchou returned to the Underworld temporarily, right?) (Y-Yeah. She returned to check on Grayfia-san and also because there was an urgent call for her.) (……And Asia?) (Fast asleep.) (……I see, she certainly is sleeping. Both Asia and Akeno-fukubuchou.) Xenovia confirms that both of them are sleeping. This is what she says. (Come with me. There’s something I want to show you.) I somehow manage to let Akeno-san sleep by herself and leave the room as I follow Xenovia. We left the room and arrived in front of Xenovia’s room which is a floor above my room. ……Coming to Xenovia’s room late at night huh. What is she plotting? “Now, Ise. Open it.”
“?”
Xenovia sure is saying weird things. She’s asking me to open the door when its her own room. I turn the doorknob like she ordered. Then—what appears to my sight is that baby-making room from before! “Wha! Isn’t this! ?”
I ask Xenovia but I end up entering the room after she pushes me from behind! Then a sound of the door being closed follows! I try to turn the doorknob immediately but I couldn’t do it due to an unknown power which is coming from the other side of the door! “H-Hey! Xenovia! What’s the meaning of this! ?”
Xenovia tells me from the outside who is confused. “I thought we should use it since they went through all the trouble to give it to us. Prepare yourself, Ise. Your partner is waiting.”
……My partner is waiting? When I turn around and look behind after finding it suspicious—
“………..Hello, Ise-kun.”
There’s Irina who is wearing a negligee while having her hair down! Irina then says to me shyly while looking down. “……Umm, umm……”
Irina has a high tone of voice right now and uses her shaking legs to walk to the corner of the bed and sit there. “……Don’t you want to come here and have a small chat?”
…………E-Even if you say that! T-To talk when she says it that way at this room while dressed up like that! But I can’t go back. So the only thing I can do is go forward……? After I gulp down my saliva, I walk to my bed. ……Even though it’s a bed, I feel pathetic at myself for sitting a bit away from Irina. “…………”
“…………”
Both of us become silent. What intention did Xenovia have by making me come here? Likewise, what intention does Irina have by being here? ……Though I do think there’s a simple explanation behind it. But it’s too daring so I’m really confused. No, it’s because we were introduced to this room just earlier you know? I never expected I would step foot in here in the same day! And this room is for an Angel and Devil…… T-That means Michael-san made it for me and Irina. And for Irina and me who are the main two beings in here! I then take a glimpse of Irina beside me. She’s wearing a negligee. Usually she wears normal pyjamas but today she’s wearing a negligee similar to the ones worn by Rias and Akeno-san. ……Obviously it's see-through! It’s so transparent that I can’t see her wearing a bra and……not only can I see her round breasts but also the tip of it! Oh yeah, now I remember that she’s often in a state where she wears no bra! No, more importantly her breasts have a nice shape, her body has no useless fat because she’s a warrior, and furthermore she has a nice curve……! ……Phew. I need to calm down. The mood is important. Even if I were to turn into a wild animal, going at her right away won’t be moody at all. What we need to do first is have a conversation. ……Oh yeah, talking about that will be good. This is a good chance. I might as well say it. “Oh yeah, I remembered about the Christmas promise we made when we were kids.”
I say that to Irina. Hearing that, Irina looks at me as if she isn’t shy anymore. “—We will defeat Santa together and share his presents! Right?”
When I say that, Irina is in joy so much that she puts on a big smile. “So you remembered. I thought I was the only one who remembered it and that you had already forgotten that promise.”
Irina even has her eyes all wet. Looks like she’s that happy that I remembered our promise. “Well, I did forget it. But I started to remember it while we were preparing for Christmas.”
Yeah, that’s the jest of it. I started to get a flashback while I was working with Irina which in turn brought my memories back. Oh yeah, when I was a kid I made a promise with my childhood friend, in this case Irina, during the cold time of the year. Irina starts to chuckle because she remembers it. “Yeah, we certainly were innocent back then, or should I say we were clueless…… We sure did come up with so many reckless ideas. I sure had fun back then when I played like a boy with you and even thought like one.”
I do think that I did lots of reckless things with Irina when I was little. I completely mistook Irina for a boy so I played and took her to places where girls wouldn’t be happy about. “We sure did go out often to places like the forest of a park which is outside the town and also destroyed shrines.”
“Yup.
