<h4>Chapter 48: Kuroka who pretended to be cat</h4>


    In a moonlit park.


    The same color as the woman''s hair―.


    That''s what he thought as he looked at his bloodied hands.


    Red― Crimson hair that was more brilliant than strawberry blonde.


    Yes, the woman''s long and beautiful red hair was the same color as his hand.


    Issei felt himself transported back to the time when he first died, but was revived by a woman with crimson hair.


    He knew that woman. Knew her very well.


    "So you''re the one who called me."


    The feminine voice even sounded familiar.


    "My name is Rias Gremory. I am a devil. And I am your Master. Nice to meet you, Hyoudou Issei-kun. May I call you Ise?"


    Ah...


    This scene...


    Issei''s eyes radiated a strong sense of nostalgia.


    He was excited and was about to say how much he loved the woman in front of him.


    "Rias! You really are Rias! Hahaha Rias! That''s right. All this time it turns out I was just having a nightmare and I''m just now waking up."


    "Um? I''m d you called me by my first name. But Ise, what are you talking about?"


    Rias looked confused, her outstretched hand was retracted.


    Issei was slightly disappointed to see the crimson-haired girl retract her hand before he touched her. But it was okay, there was no need to rush. Because...he finally woke up from his nightmare!


    Now he was back and that bastard named Eiji Seiya could not be here. No, actually that bastard probably never existed in the first ce. The things experienced before where there was an Eiji Seiya was probably just a very long nightmare!


    Issei picked himself up from his initial position lying on the ground and stood up. He saw that the center of his clothes was bleeding and had a tear like a hole.


    The hole must have been made by Raynare who pierced his stomach using her spear. The bitch managed to kill him again for the second time which pissed him off - but that was okay. Because if it wasn''t for that bitch, he might not have been saved by Rias like now and be a devil serving the crimson-haired girl again like in his previous life.


    Issei was very happy and didn''t even bother looking for revenge. Right now, he just wanted everything to be the same as in his previous life and he would be better off by not being a herbivore!


    Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Sona, Tsubaki and other women. He can''t wait to make them all his women.


    He will be the true Harem King in this life!


    However...


    Time somehow seemed to pass so quickly.


    Issei didn''t even realize it. He had already be a devil and was diligently working on his duties to distribute summoning leaflets to the humans living in Kuoh city.


    He was even diligently hunting stray devils hiding in Kuoh city with Rias and the others. Everything was going well, but he always felt something was wrong.


    For example, unlike in his previous life where he was allowed to touch Rias'' breasts. This time, the crimson-haired girl didn''t even let him touch them and would reprimand him every time he acted perverted.


    Not only Rias, even Akeno who was usually the most lewd girl in this group. The ck-haired girl was very polite to him and kept her distance from him. Although she and even everyone else always smiled kindly at him.


    Issei felt something was wrong and this did not match his expectations. As a Boosted Gear user who possessed the power of the Red Dragon Emperor. He had even activated the dragon aura in his body to make it easier for him to charm people, especially the opposite sex so that they would have a very good impression of him and easily like him.


    It might sound maniptive, but this was what he did in his previous life and all those girls certainly didn''t love him immediately because of this. He also took matters into his own hands to win their hearts of course and he did.


    For example not long ago he managed to help Rias by freeing her from a political marriage. He had defeated the blond-haired bastard surnamed Phenex in a duel that was witnessed by many people.


    Many people cheered and looked at him with admiration as well. Rias was even very grateful to him, but...


    "What happened?"


    Issei asked himself this because up until this point he had not touched Rias at all! He didn''t even receive a kiss or a hug after saving that crimson-haired girl from her family''s arranged political marriage!


    Akeno, that woman didn''t give him a perverted massage like in his previous life where she even licked his fingers back then.


    Koneko, the girl never even wanted to sit on hisp and always kept a meter or two away from him.


    Only Yuuto seemed to be the same as in his previous life. The blond boy was always friendly to him... But he was not happy about this at all.


    What he wanted was attention from girls like Rias, Akeno, Koneko and other girls!


    Just what was going on? He had obviously done the same thing in his previous life, even done it better.


    But the girls'' reactions didn''t go as he thought!


    "Kiba. Where are Buchou, Akeno-senpai, and Koneko-chan?"


    "At this time of day I always can''t find them."


    It was around half past five in the afternoon that Issei often returned to the ult Research Club after he finished his daily duties as one of the devils in the Rias peerage.


    As usual, when he returned to the club. There was only Yuuto sitting there reading a book - it seemed that he did not go straight home because he always wanted to wait for him.


    "Issei-kun, are you done? If you''re looking for girls in our club. Koneko always went home first after finishing her work. As for Buchou and Akeno-senpai? At this hour, both of them usually drop by the student council."


    Yuuto closed his book and with a gentle smile told him what he knew.


    Issei raised his eyebrows. Putting aside Koneko who went home first he had nothing to worry about. But the other two women he loved...


    "Buchou and Akeno-senpai are at the student council office right now? They''re visiting Sona and her peerage?"


    "Maybe? I don''t know for sure either. Issei-kun, sorry."


    "No, you don''t need to apologize. Kiba, I just..."


    Damn it. Why was he even having a conversation like this with a man? Issei shuddered slightly, especially when looking at Yuuto who always smiled gently at him.


    "Okay, forget it. I''ll go to the student council office to see Buchou and Akeno-senpai."


    "Eh. You''re going there, Issei-kun?"


    For some reason Yuuto suddenly looked at him with worry. There was also pity in his eyes.


    Issei was confused when he saw this and said, "Yes, I will. Is there a problem?"


    Somehow he felt familiar with this situation. And he also had a familiar bad feeling.


    Strangely he couldn''t remember clearly, yet he felt deja vu as if he had experienced it in the past.


    "Um... Issei-kun, why don''t we just go straight home? You can still see Buchou and Akeno-senpai again tomorrow."


    "No. Kiba, you can go home first. I have to see Buchou and Akeno now."


    Without waiting for Yuuto''s reply. Issei immediately carried his own bag and hurried to the student council office on the 4th floor.


    While walking through the 4th floor corridor leading to the student council office. Looking at the rather dark hallway in front of him.


    Issei gulped. It wasn''t that he was afraid of the dark, but he felt that there was something frightening to see at the end of the hallway - precisely in the gap of the open student council office door.


    "This... Should I just go back and see Rias and Akeno tomorrow?"


    For some reason he felt scared. His body was even trembling like a person with PTSD. Although his memories were a little vague, his body seemed to remember something, especially his heart which suddenly felt sore.


    Not knowing since when his feet kept walking forward and now he was standing right in front of the student council office door. Issei clearly felt that something was wrong as his legs were walking on their own and he couldn''t even move other than moving his eyes to look at the scene in front of him!


    From the crack of the door, his pupils shrank and his expression froze.


    Inside the student council office, he saw a familiar scene where a white-haired boy was sitting naked on the sofa with his 7-inch-long penis ahead of him. Just looking at its size alone, Issei already felt inferior.


    But that was nothingpared to the boy''s face. He remembered. Wasn''t that Eiji Seiya!? Why? Why is he here!? And why did the situation he experienced in the nightmare happen to him again in this life!?


    "No, Rias, Akeno. No... Sona, Tsubaki, Momo, and the rest of Sona''s peerage."


    "Shit, stop! What are you guys doing with that bastard? Stop!"


    Even though she was yelling, it seemed like his voice could not be heard at all by the people inside the student council office. Even when he was about to go in and kill the white-haired bastard. He couldn''t because his body was frozen in front of the door.


    Other than seeing the painful scene before his eyes, he could only hear the conversation going on inside.


    "Ugh... Rias, you''re getting good at using your mouth. I''m even close to cumming now!"


    Eiji Seiya, that bastard put one of his hands on Rias'' head. His other hand was busy caressing Akeno''s breast. The ck-haired girl kissed the bastard passionately alternating with Sona and Tsubaki.


    Issei''s heart was already aching just by seeing what they were doing.


    However, it was nothingpared to seeing Rias eagerly licking Eiji Seiya''s cock. Obscene sounds could be heard as the girl stuffed the thick, long meaty item down her throat making her mouth look like a vacuum was sucking.


    "*Slurpt* *Slurpt* *Pop* Take it out inside my mouth. *Slurpt* I want you to squirt your cum inside my mouth, Eiji~~"


    The crimson-haired girl briefly took the meat item out of her mouth to say a few words before putting it back into her mouth with gusto.


    The bastardughed as the other girls eagerly started licking his body as well.


    Issei''s eyes were already red seeing this and his heart felt like it was being pricked by several needles.


    "Hehe Rias. What about Issei? I hear that boy is very passionate about his work as your peerage member and has been working hard to solve your problems. From the way he looks at you, he obviously likes you."


    Rias who was eagerly licking the cock in her mouth raised her eyebrows and took out the cock in her mouth again with a *pop* sound.


    "Ise? Well he did do a good job. But it''s annoying when he keeps showing off his dragon aura to make me and the other girls have good feelings for him."


    "!!!"


    Issei was dumbfounded. Rias knew? His expression became even uglier and he didn''t want to hear what the girl said next.


    "He even often yelled that he wanted to touch my breasts which disgusted me. My breasts only belong to Eiji. How can I let that boy touch them?"


    "Forget that boy. And pour your cum in my mouth, okay? Darling?"


    "!!!"


    "Oh? Sure. After I filled your mouth with my cum to the brim. I''ll also cum inside your other holes. I''ll fill all of you girls'' holes before we go home."


    "!!!"


    As the guys inside continue their perverted session with gusto.


    Issei had actually been screaming from earlier.


    "No! No! Stop Rias, stop! Ahh!!! Not just using your mouth. You even let that bastard take your virginity!?"


    "And this doesn''t seem to be the first time? Ahhhh!! Eiji Seiya, you bastard!! Stop, Buchou''s virginity can only be mine!!!"


    "Akeno, Sona and Tsubaki too. They can all only be mine!!"


    "Stop. Please stop this nightmare! It can''t be real!!!"


    Issei howled loudly while clutching his chest. He coughed up blood and suddenly the scene around him turned into a familiar park.


    The scene before his eyes was even as familiar as when Rias made him into a reincarnated devil.


    "So you''re the one who summoned me."


    "My name is Rias Gremory. I am a devil. And I am your Master. Nice to meet you, Hyoudou Issei-kun. May I call you Ise?"


    It was the third time he had heard this. Issei widened his eyes.


    "Maybe the previous one was also my nightmare? I just woke up now?"


    "Sorry, what are you talking about?"


    Rias in front of her didn''t extend her hand again like before. Now she just looked at her with a friendly gaze.


    Although Issei felt there was still something wrong. He thought positively because there was no way he would keep having recurring nightmares, right?


    Unfortunately what happened next was almost the same as before and he would end up seeing a painful sight in the student council office.


    Every time he had a mental attack and howled for Rias and the others to stop letting Eiji fuck them.


    He would be brought back to the point where Rias first made him a reincarnated devil. And in his dazed state he would always make the same choice and only realize that he kept repeating every time he had seen what happened in the student council office.


    I don''t know how many times she repeated.


    He didn''t know if he was having a nightmare or not. What was certain was that he just wanted to get out of this infinite loop!


    Actually. What happened to him!?


    ...


    Meanwhile, Issei had been lying in his bedroom for several days with nightmares that clouded his consciousness and kept him from waking up.


    Before Issei chose the correct option he had been set up by Eiji in his [Nedneliaz] spell. Issei would continue to repeat his nightmares and he would continue to be tormented until he made the right choice when he saw what happened in the student council office.


    As for what that choice was, Issei had to find out for himself. Other than being angry and reluctant to see him fucking the woman he loved in his dreams. What else could Issei do besides that? That was what Issei had to find out for himself.


    In the end what happened to Issei didn''t make Eiji think much about it. Right now, on a sunny morning.


    "Wow Eiji~! What is this creature? He looks so cute!"


    It wasn''t Eiji who answered the pink-haired girl, but the blonde-haired girl who was also in the living room.


    "L-san. That''s a cat."


    Asia pointed at the golden-eyed ck cat lyingzily on the sofa. The cat meowed and made a cute pose that made the two girls'' eyes light up.


    "So cute! So your name is cat?" L asked as her finger tried to pat the cat''s head which was immediately pped by the little creature.


    "Meow~"


    "Your name, meow?"


    "...." The cat paused and turned to him.


    Eiji who was standing by pretended to cough and said, "Well L, meow is not the cat''s name. She''s a female cat in the first ce."


    "Then what''s her name?" L asked in confusion.


    "Eiji-san, where did you get this cat? Do you want to keep it?" Asia who knew more about cats than L asked this.


    Eiji looked at the ck cat and the other party also looked at him.


    [Cat? Well she is indeed a cat. Precisely a kind of supernatural cat called Nekomata.]


    "!!!" Unlike L and Asia who only reacted "Oh" when hearing his inner voice. The ck cat widened her eyes, with shock on her small face.


    "Actually, this cat jumped into the bathroom through the window while I was bathingst night."


    "But because of its cute appearance. After I took a shower I brought her to sleep with me on the bed."


    "If you two want. We can keep this cat at home."


    While the two girls immediately said yes eagerly to keep the cat at home.


    Eiji noticed the panic on the cat''s face. He smiled gently and of course he knew the cat was Koneko''s older sister - Kuroka Toujou!


    As a skilled Nekomata. Kuroka could change her form into a cat and return to her humanoid form at any time.


    But that womanst night came to his house and pretended to be a cat. As for her purpose? It was obvious. Eiji had a guess as to why this woman hade to him and he was certainly pleased.


    Because the other party was pretending. He would also pretend while toying with her using his routine.


    "Nyaa?"


    Kuroka actually panicked and wondered if her identity had been revealed this quickly?


    Actually beforeing here in her cat form. She had somewhat underestimated Eiji and thought she could trick him with her cat form and observe him at close range before deciding what to do with the boyter.


    However, she still underestimated the boy too much. Eiji Seiya, he knew that she was a Nekomata and not an ordinary cat. Meaning he knew she wasn''t an ordinary cat. Even so, his inner voice only mentioned that he knew she was a Nekomata. Eiji didn''t mention her true identity at all! Did that mean that the other party only knew she was Nekomata, but didn''t know that she was Kuroka, Koneko''s older sister?


    "Wait. If Eiji Seiya already knows I''m a Nekomata."


    "Thenst night when he showed his naked body in the bathroom and even hugged my cat form while sleeping...."


    "This guy is shameless Nyaa."


    With her personality, Kuroka certainly did not feel embarrassed by what happenedst night. She just felt a little awkward letting a man hug her while sleeping, even though she was in her cat form.


    As for seeing Eiji''s naked body in the bathroom? Well actually that boy had a very nice figure and had great goods. As a woman who only worships the strongest; because of what she sawst night, she felt tempted to worship Eiji''s manly body.


    But she quickly got rid of that idea because she came to that boy for her younger sister. Exactly she just wanted to know if Eiji could help her? From the boy''s inner voice yesterday. He seemed to havemunicated with Koneko.


    "Meow, meow, meow."


    Actually from another person''s point of view. When Kuroka speaks, she just sounds meowy and the girls just find it more cute.


    Only Eiji rolled his eyes. Although he didn''t understand catnguage. He could somewhat guess what Kuroka was actually saying in her cat form.


    She was basically surprised, yet he didn''t know that she was calling him shameless.


    If he knew, he should probably try bathing Kuroka in her cat form and see if the woman would give up pretending and reveal her true form?


    "So Eiji-san. What are you going to name this cat?"


    "I know! I know! How about this cat is named Meow-Meow ck-Kun!"


    L suggested the name which made everyone stare at her.


    "Um, L-san. I think that name is a bit..." It wasn''t that Asia wanted to reject the name L suggested. She just wondered if the girl could choose another name that was simpler?


    "Meow, meow? (Girl, what kind of weird name are you giving me?)" Kuroka was actually just going with the flow and actually if Eiji wasn''t nning on kicking her out of his house; even though he already knew her identity. She was fine pretending to be a cute pet as long as she could monitor that white-haired boy for a longer time.


    Eiji smiled and patted L''s shoulder before saying, "L, I don''t think you need to give a name that''s too long like the names you usually give to your inventions."


    "Also, this cat is a girl. Instead of naming her Meow-Meow ck-Kun. Why not call her Kuro-chan?"


    Asia''s eyes lit up, she nodded several times. "Kuro-chan is a good name!"


    L was a little reluctant, but she nodded. "Isn''t it possible to add Meow-Meow?"


    I think you also agreed because you nodded, but you still haven''t given up on the name you suggested?


    Not only Asia and Eiji, even Kuroka was silent and could only resign herself to letting people give her strange names.


    In the end, it was decided that Kuroka''s name when pretending to be a pet at Eiji''s house was Meow-Meow Kuro-Chan with the nickname Kuro-chan!


    Of course, it was decided because Eiji was too soft on his women. Especially L, he couldn''t resist too much.


    Isn''t it just a name after all? Kuroka was the one who epted the name. So it wasn''t him who suffered.


    "....."


    Actually, Kuroka was beginning to be unable to stand pretending to be a cat like this. Should she show her true form so that she wouldn''t have to be called by such a strange name?


    ...


    Unlike the morning atmosphere at Eiji''s house.


    In a certain house where the protagonist Rito lives.


    The atmosphere there is a little gloomy with Rito locking himself in his bedroom while his younger sister tries to get him out of his bedroom.


    "Rito! How long are you going to keep staying inside your bedroom? If you want to ask permission not to go to school today that''s fine, but you should at leaste out of your bedroom now for breakfast!"


    A pretty girl with brown hair braided back in a junior high school uniform, a pink apron and a spat in one hand stood outside her older brother''s bedroom door with an annoyed expression.


    Mikan Yuuki was only 15 years old this year. She was a 3rd year junior high school student, had no special hobbies, and mostly spent her time doing household chores like a single mother except when she went to school to study. She is used to doing her daily routine such as washing, sweeping, mopping, cooking and etc. that a single mother usually does to take care of her children.


    Despite the fact that she was the second child and the only daughter in the Yuuki Family. After the mother who gave birth to her and her older brother died after giving birth to her. Since Mikan was 6 years old, she had learned to do household chores on her own. She wasn''t forced of course, it was just that she took the initiative when she saw her father and older brother struggling to do household chores.


    So whenever her father was busy working at his manga studio, and her older brother was doing his duties as a high school student as usual. Aside from going to school, Mikan would do household chores as usual to take care of her father and older brother.


    For example, like today. Before leaving for school, as usual, she had prepared breakfast for her older brother who she knew had been having problems at schooltely.


    "Mikan? Ugh... Sorry, I''ll eat the breakfast you madeter. You can leave for school first."


    From the sound of it, her older brother was clearly not okay. To be precise, after school yesterday. Rito was already like this, he looked like someone who was heartbroken and depressed.


    And Mikan knew why her brother looked like that, even though she had never asked him about his problem.


    The brown-haired girl opened her mouth to say something, but strangely her voice could note out. She was surprised, but soon had aplicated expression and sighed.


    "If you say that. Alright, I''ll leave for school first. But remember to eat your breakfast, Rito!"


    "Yes, yes, I will..."


    Rito replied weakly. Mikan no longer bothered her older brother, she quickly got ready and left the house to go to her school.


    On the way to the school that was not too far from her house.


    "Rito is like that because of what Eiji Seiya did yesterday...."


    "Huh? As expected. I can say that if not in front of Rito."


    Under the sunlight and the cherry blossoms flying from the trees by the roadside.


    Mikan blinked her eyes, she just realized this. Since hearing the inner voice of her older brother and two other men in her head, one of whom was named Eiji Seiya, a time traveler who often fought with her older brother who had thebel of regressor protagonist.


    The fact that her older brother was a person who returned from the future. Of course she knew and actually she didn''t fully believe about this. But so far, it seemed like everything said in the inner voice was true.


    About her brother who was actually the protagonist of the harem franchise and the heroines that her brother pursued. But the way her brother was chasing after the heroines, even she could only sigh.


    No wonder Rito was often pped by Eiji Seiya. Even yesterday, when Rito had a maniptive n to save a heroine named Yui to get her heart. Unfortunately Rito didn''t know his inner voice could be heard by her and also a man named Eiji Seiya. Eiji Seiya who has never let any protagonist seed so far, and he certainly again thwarted Rito''s n and even counterattacked Rito with a "mental attack".


    Even long before, she knew Rito had been beaten up by that man. Although she knew Rito had provoked him first because of his jealousy. Seeing her older brother return home with several bruises on his body back then.


    Mikan certainly did not have a good impression of Eiji Seiya. Or rather she disliked him for hurting her older brother.


    Even so, what could be done? Eiji Seiya was so strong, even her older brother who became a regressor protagonist with superpowers was still unable to defeat him.


    Moreover, she who was just an ordinary junior high school girl with housewife skills. She couldn''t do anything to Eiji Seiya and actually she also didn''t know what she should do to that man? Actually if she could she just wanted Eiji Seiya not to bother her older brother anymore.


    But Mikan knew that was impossible, especially when her older brother couldn''t give up on the girl named L who was now Eiji Seiya''s fiancée. Although in the previous life her older brother was said to be engaged to a girl named L. In this life, everything was different because of Eiji Seiya''s appearance.


    Rito who can''t give up on building his harem in this life will of course always look for problems with Eiji Seiya as long as he can do it. Or have the opportunity.


    Thinking this far... Mikan was of course smart, she was a top student in her school and every year from elementary school to junior high she was at least in the top three of her ss.


    However, because she was busy thinking while walking.


    She almost didn''t realize that she was about to hit someone who was about to cross the street in front of her.


    "Ouch! Sorry, I wasn''t paying attention to the road before. I''m really sorry!"


    Mikan hurriedly bowed her head many times while apologizing frantically to the person she hit. It was a good thing that the other party wasn''t pushed by her into the middle of the road, if that had happened there might have been an ident that made her a murderer or something.


    The thought of her identally killing person. Her face paled slightly and she panicked even more.


    But at this moment, a hand was ced on her head and patted her head gently. Instantly, she felt very calm and peaceful as if all her problems, even her brother''s problems no longer gave her a headache.


    It seemed like the person she hit did it. And she didn''t even feel angry that the other party suddenly patted her head.


    She raised her head just to see the other party''s face and...


    "Girl, don''t worry. I understand you identally bumped into me. I''m not angry, it''s just that you should be more careful when walking, okay?"
