Chapter 24 - Chapter 24

After finishing up cooking the amount of food needed for the Gremory team, the group were now at the dining room, eating the dinner that Izuku, Ibara and Asia prepared for them. With Izuku who did most of the cooking while Asia and Ibara made some dishes of their own.

After swallowing four bites of her food, Rias turned her head to Izuku and gave him a warm smile.

"Wow, Izu. I had no idea you could be a fantastic cook."

That just made Izuku lightly laugh and gave her a smile of his own while lightly scratching his with his finger.

"Oh, it's nothing....I've been able to cook ever since I was young....My Mom was the one who taught me the basics..."

He stopped when he mentioned his mom that it caused the group to look at him but he decided to change the conversation while looking towards Asia and Ibara while giving them a smile.

"But if you ask me, both Ibara and Asia are pretty good with the cooking. In my opinion, their cooking's far superior to my own."

This made Asia blushed at his compliment and poked her forefingers together shyly.

With Ibara simply smiling and the compliment she got from Izuku.

"Oh? You think so? Well thank you, Izuku-san."

"Yes thank you Midoriya-san"

Izuku nodded his head to the girls in response with closed eyes and a smile.

While the rest of the Devils were continuing to eat, Izuku brought his right hand close to him and stared at it with observant eyes and a stern frown.

'While my combat skills are good, I still feel a bit irked at my magic capabilities because I know I can make even more powerful spells...but I do wonder if I can make any brand new spells...'

Izuku then blinked twice and widened his eyes a little when he remembered what happened after Rias showed up.

'That's right! It blew up when I lost my concentration due to Rias appearing to see what was going on!'

Izuku narrowed his eyes firmly at his hand as he now had a thought on what he could possibly do with it due to how explosive it appeared to be during his conjuring.

"Maybe I could use it for explosive traps, and possibly throw the balls of aura, using them as hand grenades, or something like that."

Izuku didn't realize that he mumbled those thoughts until Koneko, who heard what he mumbled, looked at him with a curious stare.

"Did you say something, Kouhai?"

"Oh!" Izuku shot his head up when he heard the Rook talk to him. "Don't mind me, I was just thinking to myself about some possible things I can do with my magic since I was able to get it into a ball."

Without his knowledge due to him scratching the back of his head with closed eyes, Koneko's eyes have widened in shock and worry when he mentioned that with her having a look of observing because of what she saw when his aura had the form of a beast.

"Hey, Koneko-senpai? You alright?"

Koneko snapped back into reality when she heard Izuku call to her. A surprised expression forms on her face when she sees that he has a worried expression aiming at her. Cheeks tinging light red, Koneko looked down at her bowl and picked up her spoon to continue eating her dinner.

"I'm fine."

This made Izuku raise an eyebrow at how quickly she answered him. While deciding to keep quiet, not wanting to pry her about it, he was curious on why she looked worried for him.

'It's just me trying to get back at my best with my maigc. Why did she look worried for a moment there?'

"So, Izu."

Izuku was then snapped out of his thoughts when Rias began to talk to him, prompting him to set his attention on her.

"How did the training go? Did you learn anything?"

"Hmm…" Izuku then places a finger on his chin with a thoughtful expression. "If you're talking about combat wise, not really. All I know is to time your attacks, dodges, etc. correctly, check your surroundings cautiously, and think ahead, and you should be good."

He then sets his sights on Rias.

"But, what I'm fully aware of is that Asia won't be able to protect herself without having one of us by her side during the game. That's about it."

"I see," Rias said as she took a sip of her drink. "But you do have a point, Izu. Since Asia has no experience in fighting, she will be an easy target for the Phenex Devils. Besides, Between her Twilight healing and your Boosted Gear, the two of you are our great assets. Your opponent will always be aware of this, so when things go to worse, it's best you make a run for it."

"Run?" Izuki tilted his head left and raised an eyebrow at her suggestion. "Is it really okay to do something that the enemy will see as cowardice?"

"Don't think of it as a cowardly action, Izu. There's no shame in running from a fight you know you can't win. So when a time like that occurs, it's best you escape from any situation so you won't slow the rest of the team down."

Izuku and Asia nodded to their master.

"Okay, makes sense."

Izuku then looks down at the table with a stern expression.

'Besides, I'm the one who brought Asia into this world. Hopefully with strength I developed, and the memories that are coming to me I'm sure....No I'm going to do it, protecting her and everyone else I care about from any kind of trouble'

Izuku's attention was suddenly brought to Rias when he heard her chair drag on the floor. Upon his eyes meeting her, he saw that she was standing, her plate completely cleaned. He then looked around to see that everyone else was done with their dinner.

"That was delicious and filling. It's time we head to the baths now. The baths are outdoors too, and they're so pleasant."

Izuku blinked at Rias' declaration.

'Huh. I didn't know this place had outdoor baths.'

"Izu."

The young man's attention was now on the redhead Devil.

"What's up?"

"Would you like to come with us?"

Izuku then suddenly jumped out of his seat and formed and X out of his arms, palms facing towards Rias.

"Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa!" Izuku shouted with a shocked expression. "You're gonna have to be specific on that one! Are the baths mixed or something?! Is that why you're asking me this?!"

"Nope," she replied happily. "There's a girls bath and a boy's bath, and I'm asking if you'd like to come with us in the girl's bath."

Izuku then did a spit take at the specifics at Rias' request. Before Rias could continue, or before anyone could say something, he pointed a finger at her with furrowed eyebrows and shark-like teeth.

"You're out of your mind if you think I'm going to bathe in the girl's baths! I told ya I'm not a pervert! Nor will I indulge myself that's supposed to be considered a private matter!"

Rias and Akeno giggled at the sight of Izuku's reply.

"Don't say that Izu," Rias said to her Pawn. "I don't mind if you see me completely naked while bathing." She then turned her head towards her Queen. "How about you, Akeno?"

Said girl giggled as she gave Izuku a smile with closed eyes and a hand on her cheek.

"No, I think it sounds like fun." Opening her eyes, she stares at Izuku with a sultry gaze. "Besides, I've always wanted to bathe with a bad boy with a cinnamon soft side~."

"!!!" Izuku got silent while his mind was shaking in fear at her last sentence, backing up of what she might do to him in the bath.

"Would you mind if he came?" Rias asked to Asia and Ibara "I wouldn't want any of us to feel uncomfortable."

"Oh no! I don't mind at all."

"I don't mind that Midoriya join us, sounds fun to me"

Izuku palms his face and lets out a sigh of irritation.

'It's probably because of that one time she tried to get me to bathe with her, is it?! And why is Ibara also accepting me to join in with them?!'

There was one more girl Rias needed to get approval of, and that girl was Koneko.

"What about you?"

Izuku took a small breath of relief, knowing that she's a girl who doesn't like men seeing her naked. Because of that, he prayed that she'd refuse.

[She won't refuse, Partner]

When Izuku heard that from Ddraig he tried to deny it.

"I… I…"

But when Izuku opened one eye when he heard his Senpai slowly stutter shyly. Her hands were folded on her lap, and her cheeks were as red as a cherry.

"Well? Go on, don't be shy," Rias encouraged Koneko.

"I… Don't mind!"

"WHAT?!" Izuku squeaked as she heard Koneko's final answer, the latter of whom was also looking at Izuku shyly when her default expression was usually neutral.

"It's fine…" Koneko continued. "He can come with us… As long as he doesn't try anything funny."

Izuku puts his arms up in defense towards Koneko's direction. A shy expression was plastered on his face.

"Look, Senpai, if you feel uncomfortable being in the same bath as me, just say it! I'm fine if you don't want me in there!"

Kiba quietly chuckles at the scene with closed eyes and a smile.

'This is better than daytime television.'

"You're too polite for your own good, Izuku-kouhai," Koneko argued, despite sharing the same shy expression as him. "It might slow us down in the Rating Game, judging by how most of the girls are dressed."

"I was about to say the same thing, Koneko," Rias interjected with a wink while wrapping her arm around Issei's right. "Think of this bath as a way to get use to female nudity, Izu."

Izuku was silent until he tried to make a mad dash out of here while prying away Rias'arm from his but he was stopped by Akeno when she hugged his right arm, rendering both of them useless.

"Uh uh uh. You're not going anywhere~. Ufufufu~."

With that said, Rias and Akeno dragged the red faced Izuku to the baths, with Ibara, Asia and Koneko following them.

"Kiba! Help me man!"

But all Kiba did was give him a thumbs up whuc caused Izuku to scream.

"Damn it Pretty Boy!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The girls, plus Izuku, were now in the girls' baths. Rias and Akeno were sitting next to each other, Rias' feet in the bath while Akeno was in it, Asia, Ibara and Koneko were near the wall with the handheld shower heads.

"Aaah. This was such a good idea," Akeno said to Rias while wiggling her toes comfortably. "We haven't done this in forever."

Rias smiled at her Queen in agreement.

"I hope it melts away some of the fatigue of training at least. We've all been working so hard."

"Ufufufu~. I have no doubt that this will do the trick."

While the two women were continuing to have a conversation with each other, Asia looked on at the two with a frown for two seconds before turning her head back forward. She then looks down at her own breasts and sighs in disappointment.

"Sad you're not on the 'Double D' team?"

Asia jumped at the voice who talked to her and turned her head left to the source. She sighed in relief to see that it was just Koneko who spoke, who was washing her left arm with soap while having narrowed eyes and a frown.

Asia took a few seconds to think about the question she asked her and scratched the back of the head while giving her a sheepish smile.

"Yeah, I guess you can say that."

"Don't feel so down Asia, I'm pretty sure you'll grow even more in the chest area"

Asia heard from Ibara from her right side with a smile on the Greenettes face but Asia couldn't help but observe Ibara's chest as well and seeing how close they were in size similar to Rias and Akeno, this made her sigh which got Ibara to chuckle at Asia's action.

Asia went to grab a bar of soap and proceeded to wash her body with it. When she got to her feet, she made a face of realization and turned her head towards Koneko and Ibara.

"Hey, Koneko-san, Ibara-san, You haven't seen Izuku-san here by any chance, have you? I'd like to have a chat with him."

Both Koneko and Ibara slightly widens their eyes when they started to remember that too. Izuku was suppose to be in the baths with the girls under Rias' order, as well as with the approval of the other girls.

"That's right. Where is Izu?" Rias asked her Bishop when she heard her talk about the young man. "He was suppose to bathe with us."

What they don't know was that Izuku actually was in the female baths with them. He just decided to go to the farthest part of the bathroom in order to keep calm and not pass out from seeing them in the nude, breathing slowly so he could get it together. And just in case any of the girls tried anything, especially Akeno because of what happened between them last time, he wrapped his towel around his waist, covering his crotch area, and he made sure to wrap it around tight.

"Damn you, Kiba!" Izuku cursed at the knight quietly. "Why didn't you help me out back there?! Even if it is to help me from feeling nervous around women in the nude, I'm not ready for something like this!"

Izuku took one last quiet deep breath and sat on his butt in the bath, feeling the hot water soaking his body. He then proceeded to open a bottle of shampoo that he was able to get a hold of and begins to apply it on his head. He then maneuvered his fingers around his hair, allowing the shampoo to foam all over it and clean it.

" Well, at least the bath feels nice. The water's the right temperature, the structure of the bath itself is fascinating," he looks up at the night sky to see the stars and smiles. "And it's the right setting to take one too."

After two minutes of shampooing, Izuku inhaled some breath and puffed his lips before dipping his head underwater to rinse it off, fingers locking in between strands of hair to get the tiny bits of shampoo off. Afterwards, he then began to rise from underwater to continue on relaxing in the bath.

*Slide. Boing.*

"Huh?"

Upon getting his head out from underwater, he made a puzzled face when he felt something slide up against his cheeks. He blinks twice as he can still feel the mysterious objects on them.

'Soft…'

Izuku then raises an eyebrow in confusion as the spot he was sitting at started to feel different. He was about to ask himself what was up, but whatever question it was, was answered when he heard a familiar giggle from behind, and saw a pair of legs slide next to each of his legs, the left one next to his, and the right one next to his.

"Ara ara, so this is where you've been hiding~."

Izuku's body froze in place and halted his breathing upon hearing that voice. His eyes widened to the size of saucers as they shifted left and right uncontrollably to discover to fleshy mounds on each of his cheeks. He then tilts his head slowly backwards to see who the woman was. When he did, his irises and pupils contracted when they lied upon a familiar black haired woman, who was smiling at Izuku with glee.

'No Nononononononononononononono!'

"A-A-Akeno-smmpmi?!"

Akeno quickly covered his mouth with her hands when he started to scream her name.

"Shhhhhh! It's alright! I'm not going to hurt you."

Akeno could feel the heat of Izuku's fast breathing on her palms, and she liked it.

Izuku however was not doing so well. He could feel his heart beating rapidly due to seeing Akeno completely naked, nothing covering her whatsoever. Because of this, he kept eye contact with his senpai's violet eyes, trying his best not to look down at her bare breasts.

"Wh-Wh-Wh-Why are you here?!" Izuku asked quietly once Akeno removed her hand from his mouth.

"Ufufufu~. Rias sent me to come looking for you so we can socialize together, and help you with your fear of female nudity."

Izuku looks away from her in embarrassment, his cheeks being as red as a tomato.

"I'm not scared of nudity. I'm just being respectful."

Akeno lets out another giggle while placing her hand on her cheek.

"But we're allowing you to see us this way, silly. So there's no need to worry about that."

Akeno then grabs Izuku's face by the cheeks gently and makes him face her breasts, which were still wet from the bath water.

"!!"

"Go on, dear. Take a good look at my nipples~."

Not listening to his brain, Izuku's eyes were focusing on Akeno's luscious breasts. His face was burning up with steam shooting out of his ears.

"Um um um, um, um, um,"

Akeno lets out another giggle at Izuku's stuttering.

"Come now, Izu-kun. Even you have to agree that these boobs of mine are beautiful and irresistible~."

"C-C-Come on, Akeno-senpai!" Izuku whined while shifting his eyes towards her smiling face. "This isn't funny!"

Akeno didn't listen. Instead, she was shifted her eyes on the bulge that slowly sprouted from behind the towel wrapped around Izuku's crotch. She stared at the bulge with lust while licking her lips at the sight.

Izuku noticed where her eyes were at and immediately covered his crotch with both hands. He then gave her a narrow-eyed stare and a pout.

"Aww," Akeno made a mock whine with a playful pout. "Not gonna let me have a peek? I think it's only fair since you got a view of my fully naked body~."

Izuku's eyes slightly widened in shock at how perverted her tone was towards him.

"Yup, she totally wants the D, becareful Partner otherwise you might be a Baby Daddy soon" that's what Izuku heard from his subconsciousness which made Izuku groan internally.

"Ah, Akeno, you found him."

"Eh?"

Izuku turned his head left when he heard another familiar voice. Upon turning his head, he made a squeak like noise when he saw a smiling Rias, a blushing Asia, a curious Ibara and a bashful Koneko, all of whom were in their birthday suits. While the former three were out in the open, the latter was hiding behind a rock, poking her head out with dark red cheeks, and Izuku couldn't blame her for that.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Rias," Akeno apologized with a wink. "I was getting a head start on Izu-kun's mental training~."

Since she was distracted by the red haired Devil, Izuku was able to escape from Akeno's grasp and jump back four feet from the Queen, looking away from the girls in the process.

Seeing this made Rias sigh and sets her eyes on her bashful Pawn.

"Come on, Izu. You've got to get use to seeing female nudity. You have seen what my attacks did to one of Sona's servants during our game of dodge ball with them, and what that green slime did to us, and trust me, the same thing will possibly happen in future battles; possibly in the Rating Game too."

"Wait, WHAT?!" Izuku did not expect her to state this like it's fact. "You're joking, right?"

"Nope."

Rias' nonchalant reply made Izuku face fault in the bath, causing the water to splash upon contact with it.

As soon as he got up from the face fault, he was immediately hugged from behind by Akeno, making him turn his face around to meet hers.

"No escaping. Ufufufufu~."

Izuku lets out a wine in frustration.

"Izu" Izuku's attention was now on Rias. "Please keep in mind that we're allowing you to see us naked. Being respectful to women when they're suddenly stripped is fine, but not only do you have to relax when you're given permission, but you have to try and keep a level head when the enemy is suddenly stripped."

Izuku's pupils contract at Rias' wording.

"Izuku-san!"

Asia latched onto Izuku's right arm with shut eyes and a dark blush.

"A-A-Asia?!"

"I… I know you're very nervous about this… But please, try to bathe with us!"

Izuku didn't know how to comprehend the situation he was in. He was surrounded by naked women, minus Koneko, who was still poking her head out from the rock while staring at Izuku with a shy stare. He was also feeling two pairs of breasts against his body; Akeno's on his back, and Asia's on his right arm.

"Hahahaha this is really entertaining Partner!"

'Draig please help me!'

"Partner...you can't expect me to help you in this situation, I'm a Dragon who has no such experience with your kind so you're on your own for that"

'No! Damn it don't! If this keeps up I don't what I'll do! Well as long as Rose doesn't get close to me then I'm...'

His thoughts was cut short as Ria's was now on his left with a smirk that was on her face as she held onto his arm as her breast pressed up against it.

Izuku's eyes widen even more as he Ibara decided to be in front of him as she pressed her breast onto his chest causing him to stare at the lust that was on the former nuns face.

"Izu," Rias called to Izuku, getting his attention. "Shall I wash your back for you?"

"Ufufufu~. Sorry, Rias," Akeno interjected, grinding her breasts on Izuku's back purposefully with a sly smile. "I've already decided to clean his back for him."

Rias' eyebrow twitched at her Queen's declaration before coughing into her hand.

"Alright, then I shall wash Izu's chest then while you handle the back, Akeno."

"Forgive me Rias-san but it seems you won't be able to wash his chest since I made up my mind to wash it for him" she said this with a smile on her face that it made Rias to pout.

"GAAAHH!" the red faced Izuku screams as one of his senpai and his classmate touched his back and chest with soap. Unbeknownst to him and the girls, Akeno stealthily added soap on her breasts, so she was washing his back with both the soap in her hand, and her bust, only in tiny thrusts with the latter way so Izuku wouldn't notice.

"Mouuuuuu! I want to wash Izuku-san too!"

With a voice of jealousy, a pout, and dark blush on her cheeks, Asia lunged at Izuku's right side while trying to get her hands on a bar of soap, surprising the four.

"Asia!" Rias shouted. "Be careful, you'll make us fall over!"

"Ara ara! Ufufufu~."

Asia didn't listen. She was too busy trying to get the soap so she could be able to wash a part of Izuku.

Izuku's face was flashing several shades of red. Due to Asia's struggles, the girls neglected to notice that their breasts were now rubbing onto the bashful Devil, on his back, chest, and arms. And since their flesh mounds were covered in soap, they were unknowingly washing Izuku's body.

Koneko looked on at the scene from the background with a blush of her own. She was currently paying attention to her Greenette Kohai, Izuku, who was too scared to move a muscle due to how the scene looked like the four girls were playing tug of war with his body. She noticed that he looked like he was about to pass out due to how close Rias, Akeno, Ibara and Asia were to him while unknowingly washing him with their boobs.

"Maybe I should help him…"

"Um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um,"

The girls stopped what they were doing and turned their heads towards Izuku when they heard him begin to stutter. They widened their eyes a little to see that his face was now as red as Rias' hair and that he had circular white eyes.

"P-P-P-P-P-P-PLEASE LET ME GOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Those were his last words before he felt his consciousness slip away. The girls gasped when Izuku fell backwards in the bath water with a splash. They also noticed that his towel mysteriously slipped off from his pelvic region. Curiosity getting the best of them, the girls shifted their eyes towards the towel and widened them when they saw something poking out from between Izuku's legs.

"KYAAAH! Wh-Wh-What is that thing?!" Asia asked looking red in the face while trying to cover her eyes, failing miserably.

Koneko immediately got behind her rock and held her hands onto her cheeks with steam fuming out of her ears.

"Wh-Wh-Wh-What did I just see?!"

"Ara ara, it's so big and lively~." Akeno stared at the thing with a dark blush and a perverted look while licking her lips, enjoying the sight of it.

Rias looked downwards with the same shade of red in her cheeks as her Queen's, fidgeting her hands and feet together after getting a mental image of what she saw.

"Wow… That's a man's penis?"

Ibara was the most interesting at what was between Izuku's legs as she observed it and placed the image in her mind.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I see… That's quite the story."

"Indeed, Sirzechs-sama."

In an undisclosed location, a handsome young man with shoulder length crimson hair and blue-green eyes called Sirzechs is sitting on his throne, talking with his Queen, Grayfia about what happened during Riser's visit in the human world, given the information about Rias deciding to have a Rating game against the Phenex Devil so she can "Escape" from him.

"Heh heh. That sounds just like my sister," Sirzechs says with a smirk and closed eyes.

"In my honest opinion, Sirzechs-sama, I don't think she has any chance of winning."

Sirzechs nodded in agreement with his Queen.

"No, she does not."

Grayfia then raises an eyebrow at her King.

"And yet you're letting her and her servants train?"

"I let her make her own decisions," Sirzechs replied. "She's next in line to be head of the House of Gremory after all. I just hope that she's capable of at least that."

"As do I," agreed Grayfia. She then widens her eyes a little as she hears her master let out a happy chuckle.

"You know… Now that I'm remembering this, maybe she does have a chance at defeating that Phenex bird."

"Whatever do you mean?" Grayfia asks in curiosity.

Sirzechs shifts his blue-green eyes towards her.

"That Pawn Ria-tan reincarnated. He's Izuku Midoriya, yes?"

Grayfia nods in response.

"Why do you ask? You sound like you know the boy."

"Oh, No it's just that I find this boy a bit amusing that's all" Sirzechs said with another chuckle that escaped his mouth.
