3 years later 

Sunday afternoon

Michihiro's family home

Kael Michihiro POV

It's been three years since Issei and Irina visited the Michihiro family's house they always come to visit every weekend starting from just inviting Kael to play outside, reading together books in the Michihiro family library to inviting the Michihiro family holiday together with the Hyoudou and Shido families 

Kael became good friends with Issei and Irina for the next 3 years after that day.

Kael herself treats Irina a little differently from Issei.This made Irina little surprised and asked about that and kael answered because he know irina was a girl and her mother always told to respect every women.This makes the friendship between Kael and Irina a little awkward before back to normal after many day later.

Only Issei still doesn't know that Irina is a girl. So Kael initially wanted to tell Issei about this but Irina said she would tell him at the right time

Said that time seemed to have come at the right time when Issei's family invited Irina and Kael's family to go to the water park.

Kael still remembers when Issei knew that Irina was a girl when his family with Issei and irina family were on holiday at the water park a years ago

 

1 year ago

Kuoh Water Park

 

Today it seems that Issei and Irina's family have plans to go on holiday together to the waterpark that has just opened a week ago 

They also invited Michihiro's family to visit together considering that Issei and Irina's parents were friends with Kael parent since they just just opened a cake shop became their first and regular customer before finally becoming good friends with them

Of course the Kael family accepted the invitation and come together to the water park 

After preparing food, drinks and a change of clothes, Michihiro family immediately went to the place 

After paying the entrance fee, Kael went to the men's changing room while her younger sister went to the women's changing room.

After changing into a swimsuit, Kael met Issei outside the changing room

Kael use swimming trunk with striped blue and white and Issei wears swimming trunks with black and red stripes

They are also waiting for Irina and Rahni to play together near the pool 

After a while Irina and Rahni came to Kael and Issei's place with there swimming

Rahni wore a one piece swimsuit in dark blue, while Irina wore a one piece swimsuit in light cream

"Sorry it took a while. Irina was a little embarrassed to show off her swimsuit even though I think it's fine" Rahni while showing Irina in the swimsuit she was wearing 

Issei seemed speechless at what was in front of him.

Seeing this, Kael made Issei aware by tapping his shoulder before he finally realized and stuttered at something he never expected 

"Irina so all this time you are a girl!!!!" shock Issei suddenly found out that his friend was a girl

"You only found out this time after you've known Irina for a long time, Issei?" Rahni asked a little confused 

"Really Issei, you have been friends with Irina longer than me or Rahni, and you only found out your friend's gender when she was wearing a swimsuit," Kael said to Issei with a flat facial expression 

"Kael, you knew Irina was a girl all along, why didn't you tell me?" Issei said

Kael finally explained the reason why he didn't tell him "I wanted to tell you that but Irina said she would tell you herself at the right time, so I promised Irina not to tell you, but I think sooner or later this will happen too and it seems the time is right now " 

"Irina, why didn't you say this ?" Issei asks Irina

 With a shy expression, Irina explained it about that "I just feel unsure what's your response if you know about this"

Listening to this reason, Issei approached Irina and held her hand "Why are you so afraid if I hear that, Irina is Irina, I don't care whether you are male or female, you are my first friend." he said with a smile

Hearing that, Irina blushed "Thank you Issei" she whispered

"See Irina, I told you, Issei, don't mind this" Kael said reassuring Irina

"For a moment I seemed to see the beginning of a love story between two childhood friends who would become their love partners when they became adults," Rahni said teased Issei and Irina, hearing that both of them blushed 

Before Rahni Teasing them further Kael decided to end it 

"Rahni, I think that's enough to tease them, also can we return to our original purpose here?"

Hearing this, they all went back as usual and try various activities could be doing at the water park 

Kael is aware that what happened here may have changed the canon background setting regarding Issei a bit but for better or worse and he doesn't mind it. 

 

Present time 

 

Since the incident at the water park 1 year ago, the friendly relationship between Issei and Irina has not changed much with the exception of Issei treating Irina a little differently than usual. 

 

Kael still remembers that Irina was the first person to take Issei's first kiss while he was sleeping when they were staying together which might be the reason why Irina hoped not to tell him about his gender.

 

Unfortunately, 1 week ago, Irina's family had to move because her father was transferred to England, even though this shows that the canon DxD timeline is still running properly. 

 

Kael remembered the reason for Irina's father's transfer of duties was a cover-up to Cleria Belial's assassination on charges of having a relationship with a human, a man named Masaomi Yaegaki who is also a subordinate of Irina's father Touji Shidou while in Kuoh Town. The reason for assassination Cleria Belial happen was only just to maintain the status quo 

 

Kael knows that the reason for eliminating Cleria Belial and Masaomi Yaegaki is just an excuse to ensure that King Piece, which belongs to the inner devil faction, the Kings faction is not found out and remains a secret.

 

Kael can't do much about it but that shows the the dark side of DxD that is rarely shown 

Issei certainly felt sad about the departure of his first friend, but from what Issei said, Irina promised he would come back someday 

Besides that, over the past 3 years, Kael has learned almost all the beginner level magic in Ars's book and according to Ars himself he is already in the low mid class category according to the supernatural power level.

 

Currently, Kael is in her family's library reading a book of Japanese folk tales with her younger sister, they've been in the library since they finished eating breakfast

Kael just remembered that Issei had invited him to meet at the park which was always their playground and he also invited his younger sister to go and Rahni agreed, so he asked his parents for permission to go out of course their parents agreed and allowed them to go play in the park as long as they came home before nightfall

 

after arriving at the park Kael and Rahmi looked for Issei, They eventually split up to look for Issei and will gather in their usual gathering place  of the park within 10 minutes after a while Kael found Issei among a crowd of other boys surrounding a old man

 

"Listen up, boys. The breasts... they are the ultimate pleasure! You must learn to love them, for they are the ultimate prize!" Said the old man to the circle of kids that were sitting around him and listening to his tale.

Said old man appeared to look nothing more than a dwarf wearing rags and having a bald head on this diminutive, short height, really old man.

This old man, unbeknownst to the kids, is nothing more than a total pervert who wants to spread his joy and obsession on many young minds, to finally make them know the ultimate pleasures however he sees fit.

It was supposed to come across as wrong for an old man to teach a minor in being seriously corrupt and impure but he refused to see otherwise, thinking that pleasure is the most important thing in the world.

Nothing more. Nothing-

"What are you doing listening to this creep?" said Kael with full disgust tone

"And who are you?" The old man said to Kael .

"None of your business, you creepy, weird old man. I just want to know is..." Kael then looked at Issei and the other kids who flinched at his gaze as he said, "wherever you are, aren't you the one who asked to play together in the park  Issei? I wanted to keep my promise to play in the park with you and I even invited Rahni to come along too”

The boy looked at the old man again before he said, "Who is he?"

"Uh.... I don't know." One of the boys answered.

"I just got bored waiting for you, alright?" Issei complained.

"and this funny little man just keeps talking about how... Uh... What was it?" One of the boys tried to find the word.

"Breasts are the ultimate pleasure or something." Issei finally answered what he had said.

Kael  can only look in absolute shock with his mouth opened and eyes widened before he expresses unimaginable revulsion.

He then looked behind the old man who flinched at the boy's glare before he said, "You did what!?"

"W-w-what's wrong?" The old man in an oblivious tone.

"Don't, 'W-w-what's wrong' to me. You are the sick, disgusting, degenerate I have ever seen in my entire life. And that was before I even hit puberty." He yelled at the old man.

"How dare you? All I am doing to your friends is the meaning of pleasure. The sensation of a woman's breasts is so alluring that it is something only a man could love." The old man said before looking all smug now, "You must have never felt true pleasure if you act all stiff and serious. Am I right, boys?"

The other boys would have agreed but a glare from said black boy stopped them from even thinking of saying, 'Yes'.

"Don't you all dare to listen to this old loser. To listen to him is to basically ruin your life. To forever live and die alone like a degenerate he is. I mean, look at him." Kael pointed at the old man, "He is poor. He is crazy. He is alone. He sits in this park. He doesn't have a home. And you boys want to live like this? Hmmm?" The boy said, daring them.

"N-no..." One of the boys said in a whimpering manner.

"Listen here and listen well. There is nothing wrong with pleasure sometimes. But there is something absolutely wrong if you care more about pleasure, regardless of the harm it will cause. It's like a drug. You get addicted to it. And when you get addicted to it, you will have nothing. Your mother hates you. Your father doesn't want you. You no longer have a home. You no longer grow up. You don't know how to take care of yourself. Everyone will make fun of you for being a degenerate and no one, I mean, no one will ever love a disgusting scumbag who cares more about his pleasure than anything else. Do you want that, huh? Do you want to live the rest of your life as a goddamned degenerate? Alone and no one to ever care about you? Hmmm?"

Kael had ended his rant and the rest of the boys all had listened to him and cried at what he had just said, "No..." One of the boys said, barely bursting in tears at what he said.

"Then leave here unless you still want to be like this old man." Kael shouted angrily at the group of boys,immediately they all ran away from the old man "Oh and also Issei, Rahni is waiting at the place where we usually play at the park so you should go there immediately before she gets angry " Kael in his normal tone reminded Issei again why they were in the park Issei immediately went straight to the place where Kael, Rahni and Irina usually played

 

After making sure that Issei and  all the boys were quite far from that place,the old man behind him can only glare with absolute hate in his eyes, "You. How dare you? Who are you to tell them what is right for the world? And who are you to treat your elders like-" 

The old man's hateful speech is interrupted when he was Kael emitting a menacing aura "Listen to me carefully, you perverted old man once again I see you here I will make you regret it until you are paralyzed and can't feel anything, YOU UNDERSTAND!!!!!"

After hearing this, the old man ran as fast as he could and left the park. All the old man can think about now is that interacting with children and parks and even going to Japan of all things, was a very bad idea from the start.

 

After making sure the perverted old man was out of the park, the terrifying aura that Kael was emitting disappeared instantly as if it had never happened.

Kael then went straight to where he usually plays together with Issei and Irina there he found Issei waiting with his younger sister for Kael's arrival to start playing tag like normal they do.
