Issei yawned quietly, he flipped his pillow to the cold side and burrowed himself in the warm, soft sheets

The visitors turned to one another in disbelief because of what just happened, immediately coming closer to the still sleeping dragon

"Issei-kun!" Kiba pulled the covers and shakes him gently

"Leave me alone, I wanna sleep..."

"Get out of bed, you've been sleeping for the past four days!"

What Kiba said successfully woke him up, he sat upright and looked around

"Four days?! Where are we? Where's buchou and Asia? what exactly happened? And you're not injured anymore, are you?"
He fired the questions that popped in his head as he turned to the blonde knight

"Don't worry I'm fine now."

Kiba along with Gasper, Xenovia, Koneko and Rossweisse, explained to him the events that followed after his rampage

They told him that Ravel came to their location and helped calm him down by playing music. The moment he returned back to normal and passed out, they immediately went to the Gremory Household and treated everyone who's injured

"Where are the others?" Issei asked as he stretches, causing his bones to let out cracking sounds

"Buchou is currently in a meeting while Akeno and Asia went to ask the maids something."

They soon left to give issei some privacy for him to get ready

It took him half an hour before he went to the kitchen to eat

"I knew you'd go here"
Kiba said, gesturing for Issei to sit with him

"Yeah, I'm starving!"

soon their club mates joined them, excluding Rias

The maids placed several dishes on the table

"Itadakimasu!"

In the middle of their meal, Issei noticed the large plate of food Kiba has

After some time, Kiba became aware of Issei's gaze a few times

"What?" He asked, taking another bite

"Oh it's nothing serious, it's just that I'm surprised to see you eat so many!"

"I haven't eaten anything all day, you know. And I guess you're rubbing off on me"
Kiba said, showing a rueful smile. Fully aware of how contagious his friend can be

"Don't make it sound like it's a bad thing!"
Issei protested and glared at Kiba and playfully punched him

The meeting Rias joined about the discussion of the old Satan Faction as well as the Chaos Brigade, and Ophis's plans to kill Great Red in the dimensional gap has overwhelmed her immensely from the information she needed to absorb and keep in mind

It was already late and as soon as the meeting ended, She immediately went to her room to take a much needed shower then went to Issei's room to check on him but she was greatly surprised not seeing him there

"Issei!" She called, running around then going to the bathroom

Rias went out of the room and took a double back to make sure no one's in the room. She started walking around to find anybody and then bumped into some of the maids walking by

"He's at the back garden, Rias-sama" one maid said and bowed

Rias thanked them and hurriedly went to the said location, to only be stopped by the sight. When she saw him standing, gazing out at the night sky
