Third Person POV

Issei: "You're going back to the Underworld?"

Issei was sitting on one of the couches in the Occult Research Club with Rias and her Peerage. Sona unfortunately wasn't with them since she had to go and attend to her task as the Student Council President.

They arrived at the club room no less than five minutes ago, meaning that they still had a little bit of time before they all had to head off to their first class; which gave enough time for Rias to tell everyone that she was heading off to the Underworld soon.

Issei was a little surprised by this. It hadn't been long since the peace treaty between the three factions had been signed, and already the crimson-haired devil girl was heading off somewhere else. Although Issei wasn't expecting this, he couldn't help but be curious about something: what did the Underworld look like? He never really got a chance to see much of it except for the Phenex household.

Even during then, the brown-haired boy was too focused on freeing Rias from her forced marriage to take a moment to do a little sightseeing. Well, that and he was trying to figure out how the Phenex household hadn't burned itself to the ground with all the bloody fire that was on it. Like seriously, that place was a fire hazard.

Rias nodded her head.

Rias: "Indeed I am, but I won't be alone."

Issei: "Huh?"

Rias: "Everyone's coming with me; all servants must come with their master."

All servants? Guess that means that Issei will be missing out on this adventure since he wasn't a part of Rias's Peerage. This sudden realization hit him a little, but maybe he could ask Rias to bring him back a souvenir from their trip.

Issei: "Well, I wish you guys luck. Just remember to bring me back a souvenir."

Rias couldn't help but giggle a little, much to Issei's confusion.

Issei: "Um, Rias. Why are you giggling?"

Rias: "Because why would I need to bring back a souvenir?"

Issei: "Um, because I'm not gonna be able to come with you lot."

She smiled at him.

Rias: "Issei, you're coming with us too."

Issei blinked once, twice, and finally three times as he allowed what Rias had just said to process in his mind.

After a solid minute or two, his eyes soon widened.

Issei: "What!?"

Rias couldn't help but giggle some more at Issei's expression; for someone so serious most of the time, he definitely looked cute when he was confused.

Issei: "I'm coming with you!?"

Rias nodded.

Rias: "Of course, Issei. What makes you think that you cannot?"

Issei: "But you said that all servants must go with their masters. I'm not a part of your Peerage."

Rias shook her head with an amused smile on her face.
