Chapter 150: New Life
A few hours later.....
"Ahh... this is nice..." Issei whispered while he was being massaged by Sona while being fed grapes by Rias. Their separate peerages were all surrounding his bed and talking with one another.
He and Sirzechs were still in the hospital. It was visiting time, so that's why there were so many people in the room they were staying in.
"Seriously, Issei. You're super strong now. And now you're being offered all of these opportunities. Don't you feel it's kinda too much all at once?" Rias asked him while putting a grape in his mouth.
"I may never have these kinds of chances again. So I'm just going to take them all and process them after." Issei replied. Sona chuckled as she massaged his chest.
Meanwhile at Sirzechs side of the room. He was being fussed over by Grayfia. Grayfia was scolding him while wrapping some bandages over his stomach.
"Seriously dear, you are the most careless person I've ever met! The way you didn't dodge that spear and let that stab you was stupid. I thought me and Millicas were your motivation to keep living? You just threw that out of the roof when you fought him. ". Grayfia scolded him relentlessly while bandaging him. Sirzechs was loving every second of it.
" Are you even listening?! " Grayfia got close to his face and asked him. Sirzechs looked at her. He grabbed her face, pulled her closer and kissed her.
The passionate kiss lasted for a while. When they released it, Grayfia was blushing up a storm while Sirzechs was smirking at her. She huffed, crossed her arms and looked away.
"Don't think this will make me forgive you, dear!"
Sirzechs chuckled and pulled her into him again. "Guess I'll have to do more than just that....."

"Please line up in one row!" Asia who is wearing a cute looking waitress outfit was making the students line up in the corridor. It's a really long line for the cafe.
"Y~es, this is a fortune-telling and purification corner. Toujou Koneko-chan and Himejima Akeno-senpai will be doing fortune telling and purification." Irina is next to the waitress and she's doing the advertisement for each corner.
On the day of the school festival, the Occult research club's activity which uses the whole old school building is a big success. Not only the guys who look up to the bishoujo of our club, but also many girls have come as well. Even the local people are here.
"Say cheese."-
And the one who was taking a photo was Rias wearing a waitress's costume. When they made a system where you can take pictures with the club members, it became a hot topic right away.
Taking a picture with the club member the Kuoh students seems to be very popular. Issei understood why. It's not everyday you can get close to the legends of the academy.
Issei passed by Rias and looked at her cute outfit. He loved it so much that he went up to her while she was taking a picture of some students posing with Xenovia.
He grabbed her face and kissed her right then and there. Everyone whispered and started whistling loudly at the scene. The teachers there couldn't do nothing because of the glares sent to them by the students watching.
Issei released the kiss and grinned at the blushing Rias. "See ya Rias." Issei slapped her butt before walking away. Rias looked at everyone who was smirking at her. She had to do something to break the attention from her.
"Wh-who wants some more pictures?! Hehe...."
.
.
Issei was a part of the group that was going to scare people in the Occult Research Club's haunted mansion.
Gasper was playing the role of a Dracula, but instead of looking scary, she looked super cute.
"Gasper..... I'm sorry for doing this....." Issei whispered to Gasper who tilted her head and looked at him with a confused expression.
Issei knelt down and kissed her. Gasper widened her eyes and kissed back. Issei's tongue swirled around Gasper's tongue.
Kiba sighed and palmed his face. "I get that she looks cute in that costume, but why now?" Kiba grumbled.
After they were done kissing, Issei was ready to dress up as a scary character. He was supposed to be Frankenstein. But Issei decided to go into his Scale Mail.
"It's more scary this way. Imagine a tall armor wearing me walking out from a corner out of nowhere. " Issei set the scene. Gasper shivered.
" That's actually scary.... " She muttered. Kiba hummed.
" That's actually a good idea. Let's do it."
And so the haunted mansion corner started. People quickly flocked to it. The tickets were immediately sold out and were now replenished via Ravel's help.
A group of girls were walking in a dark hall, they were huddled up and showed no signs of separating. They were about to turn the corner when suddenly they saw a giant armor wearing Issei blocking their way.
"Kyaaa!!!!!" The girls squealed. One of them grabbed a vase and threw it at him. The vase shattered into pieces when it crashed into Issei's armor.
"Woah woah! It's not a real monster! I'm Issei!" Issei calmed the screaming girls down.
" Oh really?! Can we get a selfie with you?!"
" Of course you can!"
" Waa~, I'm Dracula~. I will bite you and suck your dick— I mean blood~."
"Kyaa~! Gasper-chan is so cute!!!" Boys and girls were surrounding him while Gasper was trying her best to scare them.

"That's messed up. All those devils who were supporting Sairaorg's dreams backed out?" Issei asked Azazel with a face of disbelief.
At the ticket sales located at the end of the first floor. Using his break time, he was talking to Azazel. He was also out of his Balance Breaker form too.
They were talking about how Sairaorg lost his important connections in order to go to the top after losing to Rias and her peerage.
"Yeah. It means they aren't the kind of people who would continue to gather around a loser. Devils are naturally the ones who are logical. If there isn't any worth in it, they'll discard it. It's both a blessing and a curse. " Azazel replied.
" I get that but he fought magnificently. Who wouldn't notice that?" Issei argued.
" He soloed them. Rating Games are supposed to be a team game. Don't feel regret, okay? For you to worry about someone like him who was able to fight only with hand-to-hand combat is something you shouldn't do. That is the world of the devils. It's a world where only strength has value. If you are going into a world like that, you, Sona and Rias need to harden up. " Azazel looked at him seriously.
"Well at least I got the strength part right, now I just need the smarts to navigate their world." Issei grumbled. Azazel patted his back.
" Good luck with it then. I'll be there when you become Issei Lucifer. I'll be going now." Azazel smirked at him and walked away. He was supposed to be the supervisor of this festival, but Azazel being Azazel, needs some fun in his life.
Issei sighed. A few minutes later, Rias had assigned him to sell tickets. Issei surprisingly enjoyed it.
'Boring things like selling tickets is fun for me now. Wow, I need to take a break from the supernatural world.' Issei thought to himself.
The many tickets he had prepared sold out immediately, and with Ravel's support they are preparing more immediately.
"Issei. The new tickets are made." Ravel reported while carrying a box full of tickets. Issei smiled.
"Thank you, Ravel. Put them here." Issei patted the ticket counter he was manning. The moment he took off the 'sold' tag for the ticket counter, the customers came saying "One ticket please!".
'Where were all of you hiding!? ' Issei shouted in his mind. Ravel and Issei quickly got back to work.
"Issei. When you fought Sirzechs-sama, you moved me so much. When you won, I ended up crying. " Ravel revealed while her cheeks were red. Issei chuckled.
"I bet you cried even more when I fell down and went unconscious." He teased.
"Wh-what?! No I didn't! Why would I do that?! Anyways, I'm thinking of making a cake for the end of the day! " Ravel huffed childishly, making Issei laugh.
" Will it be banana flavored? "
" I'll make a separate one for you to enjoy. "
" Thank you Ravel. Your cakes are the best! "
" Hmph! Of course! It's special after all! "
Issei chuckled and they resumed working. They were selling the tickets to each customer rapidly and efficiently.
"Hey Ravel."
"Hmm?"
"You know that I can have my own peerage now right? " Issei asked her. Ravel nodded.
" Mhm. I do. Why are you asking? " She asked back. Issei looked at her in the eyes.
" Join my peerage, Ravel Phenex. I could use someone like you...
