True to her word, Minerva did not spike the food, though in the morning, she was wishing that she did.

Issei: What's got you so agitated? - he was getting dressed, only having black pants on.

Minerva: Your sisters or at least one of them - as she paced back and forth.

Issei: Oh - remembering that Lilith did not like Minerva for taking up time with him - guess I spoiled her a little too much.

Minerva: You think?

Issei: At least Ingvild is baking them cookies to keep them occupied.

Minerva: Please, she'll sit in your lap to eat them.

Issei: Well - as he zipped up his black jacket that had red stitching in flame designs - you two are going to have to get along.

Minerva: Why's that?

Issei: Because at some point, she will come live with us, of course, when it's safe and clear.

Minerva: You mean when the factions know where you are and leave you alone? Honestly, I can't believe you trust that guy.

Issei: Hey, it's been a year and there have been no problems.

Minerva: But how long will he hold up his end of the bargain?

Issei: Good point - as he walked to the wall and picked one of the Ascalons.

Minerva: I thought we were just visiting.

Issei: You never know and besides, I need to get back into using my swords, otherwise she will get mad at me.

Minerva: Ah, the first wife or "Darling" as you would call her, since you named her that in your phone.

Issei: Hey, she is my darling, just as you are my goddess and Ingvild is my princess.

Minerva: Thought she was your guardian angel.

Issei: That too - as took another Ascalon off the wall - alright, going to need you to wake up, partner.

Ddraig: "So we're going to be using these again, may I ask why?" - as the Boosted Gear activated.

Issei: While I enjoy still getting up close and personal and I am able to use Flame Blaze for defensive purposes, I'd still like to get back into using them and keep a little distance between me and the enemy, besides I can use some range attacks with these then I can with my sais.

Ddraig: "I guess you're right, now grab a handle" - as another Boosted Gear activated on Issei's right arm.

Issei did just that and prepared himself, willing the Ascalons to join him once again.

Ddraig: "ASSIMILATE!" - as the Ascalons glowed before storing themselves in the Boosted Gear covered arms - "now, BLADE!" - and the blades emerged from each arm. As he admired the red tint of the blades, plus the runes along the blades.

Issei: Nice! - retracting the blades and deactivating his sacred gear - Minerva, can you place this one in a pocket dimension? - pointing to the last Ascalon.

Minerva: Sure, but what do you plan to do with it? - doing as her beloved asked, teleporting the sword to her personal pocket dimension.

Issei: I want to see if I can upgrade it and mold it to more of a longsword.

Minerva: I see, I'm going to get ready, unless you'd like to join me in the shower - as she headed towards the bathroom.

Issei: Not this time, we also need to get some wine for Yasaka-san - as he was heading out of the room, but he knew that Minerva heard him as she nodded her head before closing the bathroom door.
