Yup, I had a feeling this would be my room. It was the same shabby place Rias had Issei put in the anime.

"Well, it's not too bad. I finally have a place to myself for the first time in a while." Placing my bag on the ground, I got a feeling for the futon on the floor before laying down on it. Seeing my nonchalant reaction to the room, the perverted duo seemed aggravated.

"You aren't as angry as I thought you'd be..."

"Well yeah. My house may only be half the full size of this hotel, but my room is twice the size of yours. You can barely fit two queen sized beds in there, but I can do the same and still have room to spare. Honestly, having a room like this is preferred. It feels more confined and helps me relax a lot easier."

"What?!" No doubt hearing the state of my house, this aggravated the two even more as I chuckled.

"Yeah, it's way too spacious sometimes, so a smaller room like this is perfect. We'll only be here for a few days at most, but unlike you two, when I return, it'll be to the lap of luxury. Best to enjoy the rooms you all have while it lasts. I doubt you'll be enjoying them for much longer." I had a large grin on my face as the difference of our homes landed on top of their heads.

"Issei? Are you in here?" While the two were gnashing their teeth, Rossweisse had popped her head inside my room.

"Oh, hey Rossweisse." Hearing my casual calling of her name, she cleared her throat while puffing her chest out in an attempt to seem more imposing.

"Sensei. Rossweisse-sensei. Don't forget to add that!"

"Sure sure, Rossweisse-sensei." Hearing me address her properly, she relaxed some before getting back to what she searched me out for.

"I need to attend a meeting with the other teachers, so I'll leave you to catch up with your group. You've got the afternoon free, but don't go overboard... We don't want to cause a bother for the people of Kyoto, do we now?"

"Sure. I was just about to meet up with the girls." Leaning up off my futon, I stood on both my feet before walking past Matsuda and Motohama and into the hallway.

"Alright, you two heard Rossweisse. Don't go around doing something crazy enough to get locked up in jail or something." At my words, the two were fuming, but before they could say anything else, I started to walk down the hallway with Rossweisse by my side.

"Also, I'm sorry about your room. Rias had selected this one in case we needed a space to hold discussions. We needed to set aside a place to talk in case anything occurs while we're in Kyoto. Because you were the only one with a room to yourself, we had to take yours."

"It's no problem. Like I told those two, a smaller room actually works better for me. Considering how I lived in a mansion every single day ever since summer break, I've kinda missed living in a humble room." Hearing this, Rossweisse's eyes widened in shock.

"R-Right... I forgot that illustrious house belongs to you..." I nodded my head towards the former Valkyrie. She hadn't had the chance to come to grips with my loving situation since the last time she was here, she was too busy playing chaperone for Odin. She saw me as a regular Highschool student, so hearing about my mansion again must have thrown her for a loop.

"I'm sure at some point, should Rias for some reason hold another meeting at my home that requires the presence of her servants, you'll get the chance to fully take it for yourself. She and I live together, after all." Another shocked expression filled her face as she suddenly made distance between us...

"Rossweisse?"

"I-I can't believe it. How many women do you plan to put your hands on?!"

"Huh?!" Rossweisse's body was suddenly trembling as a blush crept up on her face, but despite this, the only emotion I could feel coming off her was...envy?
