Chapter 42 the dark wings which ensnare her heart

"So these are all the papers I have to sign?" Issei enquired as he handed the pen back to the red haired demon lord as he sat at his desk.

"Yes thank you Issei-Kun. With your signature, we can now commence project Crimson dragon the TV show for all the little devils!" Sirzechs said making Issei sigh.

"I still can't believe you managed to convince me to go through with this. But it's for the children so I guess I will let one of your crazy schemes slip by this time." Issei said sitting down opposite Sirzechs.

"So has your present for Rias been finished yet?" Sirzechs asked with a grin on his face.

"Yes, it took a while, but I finished it just before I came to see you." Issei replied as he patted his shirt pocket.

"I bet Rias will be pleased. But I have your information you asked for." Sirzechs said turning serious all of a sudden.

"When is he arriving?" Issei asked as he listened to every word Sirzechs had to offer.

"Barakiel and Odin are said to be arriving in the human world at approximately 2:00 pm today." Sirzechs said making Issei look a bit worried.

"I see, then if I am to keep my promise to Rias, I will have to act today before he arrives. Thank you for the info Sirzechs, then I will be going." Issei said as he left his chair and headed for the door.

"Wait Issei-Kun, I have something else to inform you about." Sirzechs said making Issei turn around.

"What is it?" Issei replied feeling obligated to listen to what the all-powerful demon had to say.

"You see, another high class demon exam is occurring soon and I was thinking" Sirzechs said being instantly interrupted by Issei.

"Sirzechs, I told you before, I'm in no rush to make my rank public let alone increase it higher." Issei said with a gloomy expression.

"But Issei-Kun, I can't stand seeing you ridiculed and cursed because everybody believes you to be a low class rookie as opposed to your true rank!" Sirzechs said making Issei put his hand on the door.

"I learned all of that knowledge to not waste this new life by getting myself killed the instant I tried to venture out into the world of the demons. But everything is different now, I have friends, a family and I'm not ready to leave them yet! I want to stay by Rias' side for as long as I possibly can! I know I have the knowledge and that I could pass both the high class practical and theory exams with a 100% score. But I don't care about my status. As long as I can stay by her side, then I don't care what others call me. I'm happy being her pawn." Issei said now holding back tears.

"I'm sorry Issei-Kun, I just spouted it without thinking. Please forgive me." Sirzechs said to the red dragon emperor as he pulled himself together.

"It's okay, I have to be going now. Please excuse me." Issei said as he exited out of the demon lord's office via magic circle.

Issei Hyoudou straightened himself up and wiped away his tears as he arrived back home.

The brown haired devil was just about to open the front door when all of a sudden, an energetic red haired girl he knew all too well, pounced on him as he attempted to go inside.

"Good morning Rias." Issei said now startled by Rias' surprise attack.

"You're real mean leaving me to wake up alone like that Issei. Where have you been?" Rias said pouting as Issei smiled at her outburst of silly behaviour.
