The Protagonist System

15 Nothing To Hide

“Well.” Serafall said as she tried to regain control of the meeting. “With that out of the way, we can finish dealing with this mess.”

Koneko stepped back to stand by my side as we waited for Serafall's decision.

“Rias Gremory, I'm sorry. I have to take your Pawn into custody for his crimes.” Serafall said.

“No!” Rias gasped and put a hand over her heart.

“Issei was right?” Sona asked, surprised. “You're going to hand him over to the Fallen Angels?”

“They were the ones that killed him in the first place and you're going to let them do it again!” Rias exclaimed. “You are sentencing MY Peerage member to DEATH!”

Serafall's face went stony for being yelled at. “Your Pawn murdered over half of the priests in that church. Abandoned or not, it was still consecrated ground when he defiled it with murder.”

“No, it wasn't.” I said.

“Your opinion on this longer matters.” Serafall said.

“I'm going to tell you anyway.” I said, defiantly. “I cast a magic detection spell before entering the grounds and there was nothing. I expected a barrier of some kind to stop anyone from going to the church to find them, especially Devils, and I didn't pick up a single tingle of magic. They didn't even have a general sensing ward active to find intruders.”

“Maybe they didn't want anything they put up to be found so easily?” Sona asked. “Keeping themselves defenceless makes sense to avoid discovery.”

“Hiding in plain sight would have been far easier.” I said to her. “How many priests did they have? It would have been laughably easy to have the church go active again with only the priests themselves as members. They could have set it up as a private institution and no one would have questioned it, because everyone would think it had the backing of the Church, and through them, the Heaven Faction.”

The surprised looks on everyone's faces let me know that no one would have ever thought of that.

“You should probably forget I said that.” I said with a straight face, knowing full well that they wouldn't. “When am I supposed to be handed over to my murderers?”

“I've scheduled a meeting for 8 o'clock tonight with the leaders of their faction to disclose what happened.” Serafall said. “I will hand you over to them afterwards.”

“No, you can't! That's too soon!” Rias gasped.

Serafall kept up the stony look. “I can't give you time to have your brother attempt to interfere. I am the Foreign Affairs Minister and my decision to protect our entire race is final.”

“Are you kidnapping me right away or will I have time to go say a final goodbye to my mother?” I asked, almost sure of her answer, and prepared for it because I believed I was in enemy territory.

Serafall gave me a stern look. “You have already caused enough grief and I can't let you out of my sight.” She said and then shrugged. “Besides, she won't remember she had a son after tonight.”

I promoted to Queen, activated my Octuple Critical, and was across the room instantly. A black sword of disintegration magic formed in my hand and easily slid right into Serafall's chest and through her heart, because of my intention to sacrifice her.

“You will not harm my mother!” I said with a deep voice.

“ISSEI!” Rias and Sona yelled, shocked.

“I have no problem paying for what I did, because I went there and intended to kill them all. I would have gotten away with it if I hadn't made a mistake with how powerful my magic was and hurt myself.” I admitted, which surprised everyone. “However, my mother loves me. If Serafall removes the memories of me always being there for her, it will destroy her.” I said and twisted the sword to shred her heart. “I can't allow that, no matter the cost.”

Time seemed to slow down as a familiar box appeared in front of me.

The being known as Serafall Leviathan has been mortally wounded by your hand. You have lost 500 Karma points for killing an unarmed and unprepared opponent.

The First Strike and Backstab skills have been learned.
Spend 20 Karma points to upgrade skills to mastered? Yes / No

I want to spend points to master all of the skills I have. I think 10 points per skill is fairly cheap and would save me a ton of time from having to do it the long way. I thought and felt a huge drain. I assumed that all of the skills I had, that I didn't really know I had until I used them, were upgraded to mastered.

Because your opponent was much more powerful than you, a rare opportunity has presented itself (Blessing of Fortune).
Do you wish to attempt to harvest Serafall Leviathan's magic and abilities as her corrupted soul is consumed?
Chance of success: 16%. Karma cost: 14,355.

Yes, take everything you can, even her Karma Debt if she has any. I thought to the system. I can't believe the chance is still only 16% with the Blessing's 75% increase bonus!

Karma Debt was included in the cost to harvest. A note has been added to the system for your willingness to accept the full Karma Debt of another, despite not knowing the amount.

Another little blue box appeared that I knew was from Fate.

Damn, You are really making me work hard.
I haven't had this much fun in ages.

I'm sorry and you're welcome. I thought to her and then stopped breathing as an immense amount of magic flowed out of Serafall and into me. We both glowed with a red aura and I could feel the affinity for water and ice burn through my veins.

The little box showed the word 'giggle'. Things are going to be changing a lot for you now.

That wasn't ominous or anything. I thought and started breathing again when a red King Piece slid out of Serafall's chest. I snatched it up and shoved it into my pocket before anyone could see it. I suppose I have a few things to take care of before I'm handed over to the Fallen Angels.

You do and good luck.
By the way, your idea will work if you choose to sacrifice enough Karma to complete it.

I mentally nodded and the boxes disappeared as time resumed the normal flow.

“What are you doing?!?” Sona gasped as she saw the red aura around Serafall and myself. She didn't try to grab me or her sister to try and stop me.

“I have to absorb the debt that all of Serafall's actions have caused ever since she became a Devil.” I said truthfully, just in case anyone could tell I was lying or had a spell up to detect it.

No one moved or said anything as I held Serafall in my arms. I stared into her eyes and watched as both her power and her life seeped away, the power into me and her soul into the system. I let the sword go and it lost its form as it started to flow over the body.

“No!” Sona gasped as her sister's body started to dissolve away. “I call in the favor you owe me! Let me keep her body!”

I nodded and waved a hand over the damage and it stopped. To everyone's surprise, the dissolved parts started to reform and fill in. It cost quite a bit of magic to repair the damage that disintegration magic caused and I didn't bother keeping track of it, since I had so much magic now that it didn't matter. I did have to fake exhaustion, though.

I collapsed to the floor with Serafall's body on top of me. “That cost... a lot of magic... to stop.”

“Thank you.” Sona said and picked up her sister's body. She hugged it close and sat down beside me and started to cry.

“I'm... sorry.” I said and didn't say what I was sorry for. It was the easiest way to lie.

“I think a lot of us would do the same for our mothers if given the choice.” Rias said and only Akeno nodded. Sona's Peerage gathered around her and knelt to hold her and let her cry as they whispered words of sorrow and comfort to her.

Koneko walked over to me and picked me up in a princess carry. “What do we do?”

“I still have to go to the meeting.” I said Rias, Koneko, and Akeno shook their heads. “Serafall already told them she was handing me over. It's the only explanation for why she wasted so much time this morning.”

Sona let out a loud sob and nodded in agreement.

“Koneko, I need you to stay with mom. I don't want anyone going there to make her forget me.” I said.

“You, too.” Koneko said.

“I need to rest for about an hour to recover and then I have a few things I have to do.” I said and gave her cheek a kiss. “I'm going to depend on you to keep my mother safe while I'm gone.”

Koneko gave me a blank stare. “Issei...”

“I need you to do this. For me. Please.” I said and closed my eyes. “Rias, after you talk to Sirzechs and tell him what happened here, arrange for Lady Grayfia to pick me up just before the meeting tonight. Your conversation should take about two hours, so come to the house after that.” I let out a long sigh. “I have something... very important... to give to you.”

“Issei, are you...” Rias looked down at my sleepy face. “Please don't give up.”

“Not... giving up. Accepting fate.” I mumbled and forced a yawn. “Help you...” I pretended to fall asleep and went limp in Koneko's arms.

“Koneko, take him home and don't let him do anything stupid.” Rias said and sighed. “Not that any of us could stop him. Lucifer knows he's done a lot of stupid things already.”

“You need to make that call.” Sona said through her tears.

Rias nodded and left the room to do so as Koneko carried me over to the teleportation circle. When the circle lit up, I heard Tsubasa's words and agreed with them.

“He killed one of the Four Satans.” Tsubasa said. “He is never coming back from that meeting.”

Koneko and I disappeared in a flash of light and reappeared beside the house. She carried me to the front door, braced me over her shoulder, and dug through my pocket. Her hand might have groped me a few times before she found the key and I didn't mind. She unlocked the door and brought me inside, then shut and locked the door again.

“Hello?” Miki asked and walked over to us. “What happened to my baby?”

“Exhausted.” Koneko said and I felt mom run her hand through my hair.

“Thank you for bringing him home.” Miki said and her hand touched my neck, my wrists, and then my ankles. “He's relatively clean and doesn't need a bath, so you can take him upstairs and put him right into bed.”

“Okay, mom.” Koneko said and carried me up the stairs. She entered my room and laid me down, then took her time as she stripped me down to my boxer shorts. To my surprise, she only hesitated for a moment before she pulled them off and tucked me under the blanket. A minute later, Koneko slid in under the blanket with me and she was just as naked as I was.

“Love you, Issei.” Koneko said and kissed me.

I felt her tears drop onto my face and couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore. I fluttered my eyes as if I was waking up and kissed her back as I hugged her. “I love you, too.”

Koneko climbed on top of me and look scared and determined. “Going away present.”

“I will treasure this for the rest of my life.” I whispered.

Koneko let out a sound of loss and then lined me up to her entrance. I reached down to cast a numb pain spell on her and nodded, so she sat down without taking it slow. She gasped and moaned at the forced intrusion, probably because the feeling was so different than any she had ever felt before.

It took her a minute before she felt comfortable with the feeling, then she started to move. Her ears and tail popped out from concealment and she started to mewl. I helped her along and caressed her small breasts, tweaked the nipples, and grabbed her hips to help her get some height and pulled her down hard.

“MRRROOOOWWW!” Koneko yelled as she came and a little squirt came out. She both tightened up after that and also slicked up more, so it was better for the both of us as she kept moving.

I didn't try to roll us over, because I didn't want to potentially damage her tail by doing it missionary style. After she came again, I sat up and pulled out, turned her around to put her on her knees, and lifted her tail. Koneko's hands acted like she had cat claws as she dug into the blanket multiple times.

“Look at that beautiful sight.” I said and licked her dripping slit.

“MEEOOWWW! Do me MEOW!” Koneko ordered and wiggled her ass at me.

“As my dearest commands.” I said and carefully positioned myself before I shoved my rock-hardness inside of her.

Koneko howled at the sharp angle and then buried her face into the torn up blanket as I pounded into her. Her sharp teeth tore at the fabric and she growled. “Harder! More! DEEPER!”

I did not need convincing to give it to her the way she wanted it and I did everything she asked.

Miki stood in the doorway and stared as her son's large cock somehow fit into one of the smallest openings she had ever seen. On an intellectual level, she knew they could stretch to impressive levels to give birth; but, that took months of growth and expansion for a baby to fit through. What she was looking at now just seemed to be impossible.

I think I can see it pushing out her stomach. Miki thought and kind of admired the sight.

Before she realized what she was doing, she had stripped off and was naked on the bed beside Koneko in the same kneeling position, just as Koneko let out an ungodly howl of pleasure.

“Please make me howl next, Issei!” Miki begged.

“Koneko?” Issei asked.

Koneko barely managed to nod before she rolled onto her side and passed out.

“That's good enough for me.” Issei said and plunged himself into Miki's eager opening.

“OHHH!” Miki moaned and came, then she felt her son lean forward to press her into the mattress as he jammed himself into her all the way to the hilt.

“Scream for me, mom.” Issei whispered into her ear. “I have to go away for a while and I need to know how much you love me.”

“ISSEI! I LOVE YOU! I LOOOOOVE YOUUUUU!” Miki yelled at the top of her lungs.

Issei eased the pressure on her and then pounded into her just as hard as he had Koneko.

Miki kind of lost the sense of time as her son made her orgasm so many times that her voice was hoarse from screaming his name. It seemed to suddenly come to an end and she laid down beside the pretty Koneko as her vision wavered. She was close to passing out and she blinked her eyes to try and fight the sensation.

“Mom, I hope you can forgive me.” Issei whispered into her ear as he kissed her earlobe. “I made sure that Koneko was pregnant.”

Miki gasped and she turned her head to look at her son with wide eyes. “You... why...”

“I love her like I love you.” Issei said and gave her a tender kiss.

“But, if that's true... then why didn't you...” Miki couldn't finish the sentence or she would start to cry.

“Don't worry, mom.” Issei said and gave her another tender kiss. “I made sure that you are, too.”

Miki gasped at the realization, felt the tears start to flow, and passed out from her brain overloading.
