DxD: A World Where T*tties Defy Gravity [ Chapter 48: Previous host of Ddraig! ] (Patreon)

As the current host of Ddraig felt herself drifting off, she tiredly reflected on the training that she had had with Tobio Ikuse. 

The focus of the training was in speed training, and the current host of the Inugami of the Black Blade hadn't held back in making sure that Isane got as fast as she could.

Overall, though she knew that the training would continue, and that she could barely walk from how hard she'd been trained, Isane was happy with the training she had received so far, and that she was able to keep up with Tobio who was apparently incredibly strong and fast, even by supernatural standards when he was coming at her semi-seriously. 

Even if that was only in short bursts, it was still a good thing, as in a life-or-death fight like the Rating Game was intended to simulate, Isane would need as much of an advantage over her hypothetical-opponents as she could get, even without the Boosted Gear.

With this thought in mind, Isane's head hit the pillow, and the current hostess of Ddraig was asleep at once.

In seemingly seconds, Isane felt herself waking up again, but she wasn't in the large bedroom of Rex' Greek villa that she had fallen asleep in.

In short, she was in a completely white space. And by 'completely white space', I'm not kidding. The entire room that was the closest description that Isane could come up with was white, along with the furniture.

However, there appeared to be no-one here. Not one person was sat on any of the furniture that littered this area.

"Hello?" Isane blinked, and looked around. "What's going on?"

There was no response.

"Where am I?" Isane asked, not expecting a response. "This is kinda creeping me out."

Still, no response.

"Ddraig?" Isane called. "You here?"

For the third time, no response.

"Helllloooooooo?" Isane called, drawing out the word, and expecting even less of a response than the one he already got.

That made it all the more shocking when he heard a soft, melodious female voice speak, right behind him.

"Hello."

Isane gave a shriek of surprise, and jumped. Whirling around, her eyes set upon a beautiful-looking young woman, who had long, wavy blonde hair and a slim, yet voluptuous, figure. She wore a purple dress, and a head accessory.

Her eyes flicking to the woman's breasts, and then back into her light green eyes, Isane found her voice.

"Uh, hello." She replied. "Who are you? And where am I?"

"Well, to answer your first question, Isane Hyoudou." The woman replied. "My name is Elsha. Nice to meet you. And secondly, believe it or not, you're inside the Boosted Gear."

"Inside the Boosted Gear?" Isane repeated, wholly confused, while mentally acknowledging that she had heard Elsha's name before, coming from Ddraig. "Am I still asleep? Because I distinctly-"

"Oh, you're asleep, alright." Elsha replied, gesturing that Isane sit down on a sofa, which she did, with the blonde beauty sitting next to him. "This is just your unconscious mind talking to me."

"Then... why am I here?" Isane asked. Elsha chuckled.

"Well, I just wished to talk to you about a couple of things that have been happening, since I haven't checked in with you for a few days." She replied. "I like to have a look at the lives of my successors, every once in a while."

"Your... successors?" Isane repeated. "Wait... Ddraig mentioned your name... are you a previous host of the Boosted Gear?"

"I am." Elsha replied. "Not to brag, but I'm known as the second-strongest host, the strongest female host, of the Boosted Gear that there's ever been, behind Belzard."

Isane's draw dropped, and Elsha let out a chuckle.

"Yeah." Elsha replied. "Anyway." Her smile became slightly smaller. "When I checked in with you just now, and had a look at the past few days, I found that you, or to be more exact, your Master, Rias Gremory, have found themselves under the tutelage of one Rex Gremory. I must say" she muttered. "I never expected Rex to be the type to train someone, or agree to have them trained."

Isane blinked.

"You sound as if you knew Rex." She spoke. "Wait, Ddraig said once that you 'got involved' with him."

"And he's right." Elsha replied, sighing. "Rex... a day doesn't go by that I don't miss him."

"Miss him?" Isane blinked. "Were you... together?"

"Oh, sorry." Elsha replied. "I'm just rambling. And to answer your question, Isane, Rex and I were together, yes. In the sense that we were boyfriend and girlfriend, that is."

---------

"You and Rex were together?" Isane asked, blinking. "How long ago was this?"

"Oh, about two hundred years ago?" Elsha asked. "Actually, no. It was 225, closer to that."

"Ahh." Isane replied. "Not to pry, but how long were you together for?"

"We dated for three years." Elsha replied. "It was really, really nice, too. The two of us really loved each other's company, we confided everything in each other, and the cuddles were amazing~" Elsha gave a warm, reminiscent smile, and looked at Isane. "Though one slight disagreement we had was over me wanting to hold out on having sex with him until we got married."

"I see." Isane replied. "Did that cause any problems? Was that why you-?"

"Oh, no." Elsha replied. "That little snag never caused us any problems. We still loved each other, but…"

"What?" Isane said, slightly insistently.

"Well, one sparring session we had, we sometimes sparred with each other, just to keep each other in shape… it went wrong." Elsha replied. "It really went wrong. Caused Rex to leave and everything in the aftermath too."

She looked down at the ground, and sighed. "I was in my Balance Breaker armour- the strongest natural form that the Boosted Gear, and most Sacred Gears, can access –and fighting against Rex, but he ended up destroying my armour with his Power of Destruction."

"Damn." Isane replied, suddenly realising in her mind that she had found a possible reason beyond the one he gave at the Gremory Manor to not use the Power of Destruction. "Did it hurt?"
