DxD: A World Where T*tties Defy Gravity [ Chapter 81: Isane! ] (Patreon)

"I'll call her." Rex replied to his wife, before turning to Rias. "Since she's my Queen, isn't it a cultural thing for Devils with a peerage to have their Queen by their side?"

"I wouldn't exactly call it 'cultural'" Rias replied. "But yes, it is recommended, for formality's sake."

"Fair enough." Rex replied. "Didn't you mention something about a maid, Rias?"

"Oh, yes." Rias replied. "Since I'll probably be moving into your house soon, Rex..."

'Yeah, we've talked about that.' Rex thought to himself.

"I had an idea about the maid that was personally dedicated to me, as the Gremory Heir, moving into your house as well." Rias continued. "Zest's very good at cooking, easily as good as Asia, I'd say."

"Hmm..." Rex replied, as he considered the possibility. After forcing down the feeling of slight indignation, as he had never had a maid dedicated to him when he was Heir to the House of Gremory, or anything of that sort, he was overcome with a slight feeling of suspicion.

Though he was certainly not opposed to the idea of having a dedicated maid in his house as even though Asia was very willing to do, and was REALLY good at, cooking for everyone, he did feel slightly guilty that barely anyone in the house could cook like she could.

There was also the fact to consider that this Zest person was a maid of the Gremory family, and therefore, there was the possibility of her being ordered by Zeoticus to spy and inform on him. It sounded like something that Zeoticus, the annoying grandfather bastard that he was, would do.

"I don't know." The silver-haired Nephalem replied. "How do I know that this maid of yours won't just inform on me, like some pseudo-KGB agent?"

"Geez, Rex, do you really think so low of everyone associated with the House of Gremory, excluding me?" Rias whispered though Rex heard her, he chose to ignore that reply. "I can assure you that Zest is loyal to me before the Gremory Clan as a whole, and she's downright stated to me that my words take priority over Zeoticus', in her mind."

"I see." Rex replied, lying back on the sofa, as he gently squeezed Rias' ass, in thought. "I'll consider it." He replied. "If I can meet this Zest, I'll be happy to consider further."

"Oh, I wonder what that'll end up leading to?" Palutena asked herself, slightly sarcastically, from her position at the door.

Rex, Rias and Akeno all laughed.

----------

At around the same time that Rex, Rias and Akeno laughed at Palutena's crass remark, it was nighttime in Kuoh Town. At this time, Isane Hyoudou was sitting in her room, at her desk, finishing off some of the homework that she'd been assigned. As this happened, she heard a knock on her bedroom door.

"Isane?" Isane heard her mother, Kasumi Hyoudou, outside her room. "I've got dinner for you."

"Thanks, Mom." Isane replied. After a second, the bedroom opened, and Issei's mother, who just looked like an older, slightly more busty version of her daughter, but with green eyes instead of brown, walked in, and placed a tray that had a nice-looking meal on it.

"Enjoy." Kasumi smiled, and left the room, leaving Isane alone to do her homework. After the sounds of Kasumi heading down the stairs had long gone, Isane heard a familiar voice in her Boosted Gear. One that hadn't been heard since the Rating Game.

["Hey, Isane. Been a while."]

"Hey, Elsha." Isane replied, to the woman who was talking to her even more than Ddraig was, he was still salty at the fact that Isane, like Elsha before her, had fallen for Rex. "Yeah, it has. Nearly a week, in fact."

["I thought I'd give you some alone time while recovering from that Rating Game with Riser Phenex."] Elsha explained. ["Speaking of that, one. Well done. You did amazingly in that Rating Game. I was reminded of myself with the way you fought. And two. Man, Underworld medicine has come a long way since I was alive."]

"Yeah." Isane replied. "I'm surprised that the doctors managed to fix my spine in a matter of hours."

["That's the Underworld for you."] Elsha replied. ["Since you're the Red Dragon Empress, you probably got special treatment from them."] She chuckled, as Isane blushed. ["Anyway, what I said earlier still stands."]

"It doesn't mean I feel bad about the fact that I got Retired, though." Isane replied.

["Right at the end of the match."] Elsha retorted. ["Transferring your remaining power to Rias Gremory's Knight brought on the move that won the Rating Game, whether you were Retired or not. I'd say that thanks to that, that Retirement barely counted."]

"…" Isane was silent, and Elsha was quick to add onto her little speech.

["D-Don't take that the wrong way! I'm not saying you were unimportant to the Game at all, if that's what you're thinking!"]

"I wasn't thinking." Isane replied. "I just didn't have any words to reply with, so I didn't speak."

["...Oh."] Elsha replied, before taking a breath. ["Rias Gremory's very lucky to have you, you know."]

"Yeah." Isane replied, smiling to herself. "Just like she's lucky to have Rex."

["…"] This time, it was Elsha's turn to stay silent, as Isane brought up her first, and only, boyfriend. The strongest female host of Ddraig didn't say a word for fifteen whole seconds, before she spoke again. ["Yeah, you're right. She is. Just like the doubtless multiple other women that have feelings for him. I always thought that he'd be the harem-type."]

"Yeah, me included." Isane replied. "I'm not speaking from my dragonic instincts, but I honestly feel like he's a guy that I'd like to be with. Not like Matsuda, Motohama or Apoge, who either tried to force themselves on me, and- well, I don't want to go into Apoge."

["No, I never struck you as that type of girl."] Elsha quipped in reply, making Isane blush hard, causing the blonde beauty to laugh inside the Boosted Gear.
