Chapter 042

Issei's fantasies were ended the second a hard slap upside the head hit him and sent him to the ground with a lump on his head. The perverted boy just sent a halfhearted glare up at the perpetrator.

"What the hell bastard!? I accepted your offer so why did you hit me!?" Issei demanded while holding the painful bump on his head. Then brown eyes met blue eyes with startling intensity as they gave him a hard stare. "I don't know if you had any problems in trusting people in your life...but don't you fuckin' throw away your freedom so damn easily." Naruto spoke seriously.

Naruto had no trouble if Issei heard what Rias was offering as well as the realistic negatives of her proposal and accepted afterwards. But for him to say 'I accept whatever she wants me to do!' so easily without hearing what he actually had to do bothered him a lot.

No.

Issei couldn't accept something like this so easily, he had to think about whether the price of his humanity and his freedom was worth it to become a devil.

If someone heard his thoughts, then they would ask a reasonable question; isn't this against the Rias' wishes in regards to the favor she asked? To the casual observer, yes it is. But to Naruto he was helping Rias.

If Naruto just gave Issei the positives of becoming a devil without giving him the negatives, then there was a chance that he would become unsatisfied and try to rebel against her. This would inevitably make Issei into a stray devil and the demonic powers he now had would turn him into a monster without a king to keep him in check. In the end, Issei would probably be killed, Rias would lose prestige, this could sow doubt in her Peerage, and she would be back where she began.

If he failed in bringing Issei into Rias' Peerage then there were no negative outcomes in failing her favor, after all a favor was a favor. If he did bring Issei into her Peerage though, then she would owe him a favor, one that she couldn't deny as long as it was within reason. Naruto suggested this before so that everyone in their little 'Kuoh pact' could learn to depend on one another and begin understanding one another. So Naruto had to be the first one to make it work.

But he definitely wouldn't give up his morals for it.

So Naruto grabbed Issei by the shoulder and gave it a squeeze.

"Let's talk Hyoudou Issei, like I said this will change your life from here on in. For better or for worse. So the least you can do is make sure you make the best decision by listening to me." Naruto said with a firm tone. Issei saw the firm look that the blond was giving him and sighed.

"Fine...let's talk."

So they talked.

A certain daughter of the original Lucifer was looking around Kuoh for a certain blond.

Naruto promised Mio that they would leave together properly, but the blond seemed to have performed a disappearing act...again. It was strange to the young girl that someone so eye-catching could disappear so easily, she even entertained ideas with Maria that maybe their blond savior was a ninja.

That was a good laugh.

But as of now, she was annoyed at her blond savior due to his pranks that she was sure he had done on purpose.

Making her call him 'onii-san' was way too embarrassing! The fact that she had to say it near classmates in her age group and that Maria teased her mercilessly about it wasn't helping at all!

Now she was annoyed at the fact that he seemingly forgot that they were going to walk home, she hated to admit it but Mio was beginning to depend on Naruto. So much so in fact, that she didn't feel as safe when he wasn't around, he just had an aura that spoke of an unyielding spirit. So she wanted to stay close to him...

Not that she would ever admit it.

So after asking around the Academy she finally found out what her 'onii-san' was up to.

Looking for the infamous pervert Hyoudou Issei.

She heard horror stories from the other girls about the ghastly deeds of the 'Perverted Trio' and she decided that Naruto couldn't be allowed to influenced by such a person. Naruto was already a handful as it was, she didn't need to add 'pervert' to his admittedly few failings.

When she voiced her beliefs to her new friends in class when they were preparing to leave, many of them couldn't help but point out that she was acting more like a jealous girlfriend than like a concerned sister.

She ignored the accusation.

Mio finally reached the last confirmed location of Uzumaki Naruto and checked the girl's locker-room. When she looked around, she noticed a set of foot tracks that moved away from the area towards the old warehouse. She supposed that was about as safe a bet as she could get, so she walked the distance to the warehouse.

Once she arrived, she came upon a peculiar sight, she finally found Naruto but she also found a brown haired teen that seemed to be engaged in a serious lecture by her annoying savior. It was a peculiar sight, what could Naruto be telling this boy?

But before she could move closer without either of them noticing, Naruto turned his head towards her direction and gave her a smirk.

Damn it. He found her out before she could quench her curiosity.

So she moved closer to the two boys and was about to address Naruto when the other boy finally noticed her.

"OOOOOOOOHHHHH!" the other boy all but shouted out in amazement, what the hell? Who was this guy?

The boy leered at Mio's form without conscious thought and his nose started blowing out steam due to his rising excitement.

Mio just took a step back in shock at how the brown haired teen was behaving. The horror stories spoke of such perversion in muted whispers in the girl's bathroom...this can only be...

"...Hy-Hyoudou Issei..." Mio stuttered, she was face-to-face with womankind's number one enemy. She had to leave here as soon as possible before he began to harass her, so she quickly grabbed Naruto by the arm and physically dragged him with her.

"He-! Hey! What the hell Mio!?" Naruto cried out in surprise as he was getting dragged away by his pseudo little sister, he still had to tell Issei about the duties of a Peerage member! But Mio was determined to leave before the pervert's brain restarted.

Issei managed to shake himself out of his stupor, but only did it in time in order to see the beautiful girl dragging the blond away.

...

"...What do blonds have that I don't have!?" Issei cried out in despair with comical waterfall tears flowing down his face. It wasn't fair that the only two male blonds of the school got all of the love! The perverted boy finally stopped his despairing and turned solemn in order to answer Naruto's question...

The question of becoming a devil of Gremory Rias has finally begun to be taken seriously after Naruto told him about most of the pros and cons of becoming a servant. Could he really give up his carefree life for the chance of restarting his life for a better one? Naruto even said that if he worked hard enough, that he can not only get lots of money...he can also attract a lot of attention from female devils!
