03x02 - Young Devils Gather

[bunniefuu]

[ISSEI]

Holy balls!

Wow, this place is enormous.

This where your family lives?

[door opening]

Uh-huh!

Welcome home, My Lady.

We have been

awaiting your return.

You may follow me inside.

[ASIA]

Issei, I'm really nervous!

[ISSEI]

I feel ya.

I wasn't expecting this

to be such a big deal.

[MILLICAS] Rias! Rias!

You're finally home!

I've missed you, Millicas!

My, you've gotten big

since the last time I saw you.

Who's this half-pint?

Your brother?

Not exactly.

Millicas is the son

of my older brother Zechs.

So that would

make him your nephew.

Now be a good boy

and say hello.

[MILLICAS]

Okay!

[MILLICAS]

My name is Millicas Gremory.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Hehe! So cute!

Devilish looks

and good manners.

Talk about a prince charming!

Wait... If this squirt

is Sir Zechs's kid,

just who in the hell

did he knock up?

[GRAYFIA]

Excuse me.

Please, won't you come in?

Rias and her friends

are finally here!

[VENERANA] My, my!

Such poor behavior!

[ISSEI thinking]

This chick is bangin' hot!

I want one of

those for my harem.

Issei.

Yes! Here!

Finding a carpet that matched

the drapes was a pain,

please try to not drool on it

while staring at my mother.

Your mom?

It's a pleasure

to see you again.

It's been far too long,

Lady Venerana.

You sound so different, Akeno.

I'm so delighted to

meet all your new friends!

I am Rias's mom,

Venerana Gremory.

[ISSEI thinking]

Figures she's a milf.

I mean, we're in hell,

why wouldn't she be hot?

[VENERANA] Excuse me, darling,

but are you Issei Hyodo?

[ISSEI]

Yes, ma'am!

How do you know my name?

[VENERANA]

I take it upon myself

to look into

my daughter's suitors.

A mother worries, you know.

And if Rias Gremory's virginity

is going to anyone, it's me!

Oh crap!

You know to be honest,

I don't think I made the best

first impression

with your husband,

or really anyone

else I've ever met.

[chuckles]

You're perfectly fine, dear.

Besides, my husband

didn't do too well, himself.

He should have picked

the boy Rias liked

as her fiancé to begin with.

Mother, stop!

[VENERANA] I believe it's

time we all sat down for dinner.

Rias, dear, would you

show everyone the way?

Okay.

[LORD GREMORY]

Welcome everyone.

While you are here,

please think of this as

your home away from home.

[ISSEI thinking]

Man, I'm starving,

but I don't know where to begin.

I don't want to embarrass Rias

with horrible table manners.

Eh-heh... Hm?

What's wrong with you?

Eating in front

of all these people

in such a big room is

really freaking me out.

I can't even taste what I'm

putting in my mouth right now!

[ISSEI thinking]

Koneko?

[LORD GREMORY] I have been

meaning to ask you, Issei.

Uh, yes?

Tell me, how are

your parents doing?

[ISSEI]

They're great.

They said thanks

for the new house.

I think they're

trying to break in

all the new rooms

while I'm here.

I'm happy they are enjoying it.

However, the castle

I proposed originally

would have been much nicer.

Wait, a castle?

Father, I explained this.

You cannot force

our culture onto others.

And I respect that,

but they really could

have used those fifty maids.

Fifty?

Having that many

young women around

would undoubtedly distract

Issei from his real priorities.

Thus, my daughter put

her foot down yet again. Haha!

Welp, guess I can put that

fantasy on the "no hope" list.

[LORD GREMORY]

And one more thing, Issei.

Uh, yes, sir?

You're a part of this family.

From now on, I want you to

think of me as your own father.

Darling, your actions

are premature.

There is an order to these

things that must be followed.

[RIAS] Honestly, you two!

You're k*lling me!

[sighs]

I don't know

what was weirder,

the things Rias's parents

were saying to me,

or the way Koneko was

acting during dinner.

And this bedroom.

It's so huge I'm starting

to feel inadequate.

[knocking]

[ISSEI]

Come in!

[XENOVIA]

Hey.

[ASIA] We aren't bothering

you, are we, Issei?

No, what's up?

Seriously?

[ASIA] I can't sleep in such

a large room all by myself!

Life was simple in the church.

Having this much luxury,

makes us quite uncomfortable.

You understand, right?

Look, I understand,

but church or not,

any normal person would

feel uncomfortable here.

You'd really rather sleep

with me than by yourselves?

Yeah, is there a problem?

The bed's huge;

we won't even touch each

other while we're sleeping.

Touching each other's not

the issue, it's being boxed in.

Crap! Gasper!

How's he handling this?

Oh, don't worry,

he's perfectly fine.

I checked on him

before we came here.

[GASPER giggles]

This place is awesome.

Well I guess if it's not broken,

there's not really a

reason to try to fix it.

Like our current

sleeping arrangement,

which you really

should get past already.

Training starts tomorrow,

so get some rest.

Good night!

Well, there's no way

I'm gonna get any sleep.

[ISSEI gasps]

Hey, Xenovia! Wake up!

Come on! I can't breathe!

This is not how

I imagined winding up

between your thighs

would be, Xenovia!

Please wake up!

[LORD GREMORY]

Sir Zechs is receiving

an important guest today

and will not be in attendance.

[RIAS] It would seem

my brother is busy as usual.

Fortunately Governor-General

Azazel filling in.

He has proven

more than capable.

Imagine that fallen angel acting

as a glorified babysitter.

And watching

young devils, at that.

It's comical, don't you think?

I bet the joke's on us.

[AZAZEL] All right.

Looks like everyone's here.

Let's cut to the chase: I've got

a twenty human world day regimen

that's going to

whip you into shape.

We seriously have

to train for that long?

[AZAZEL] That's right, Issei,

and you get to go first.

Hey, who summoned the

old dragon from yesterday?

I did. He's your personal

trainer these next three weeks.

Huh?!

This will be my first

time training someone

who wields Ddraig.

Your primary concern here is to

pull out your Balance Breaker.

And... if you survive,

that's a bonus!

[ISSEI] Why is "not dying"

always a perk?

[ISSEI cries out]

Issei!

[ISSEI]

Do I have to?

Oh, get it together.

Right, I forgot. Our king

becomes a full-blown dominatrix

when it comes to training.

If only she was doing the

"whipping" instead of this guy.

Aaah! This sucks!

[AZAZEL] Question, are you

the brains of your team,

or the brawn?

Answer: a good king

is both and neither

'cause they know when

to fight, and when to lead.

Realizing the

difference comes from

using your pieces

to their fullest.

[AKENO] Why are you here?

It's been quite a while, Akeno.

I'd rather you

not say my name.

[AZAZEL]

You are a fallen angel.

You have to come

to terms with that.

Once you claim dominance

over your heritage,

you will finally be able

to create true lightning.

You never answered my question.

I cannot refuse an order

from the Governor-General.

He asked me to come train

my daughter, so here I am.

[AKENO] Do you know

why I wear these clothes?

[AKENO] It's my way

to show the world

I renounce everything

you represent.

Because you are

no father of mine.

[AZAZEL]

Hone your Balance Breaker.

Once you've whipped it out,

keep it up as long as you can.

[AZAZEL] I have

assigned you a teacher

to further your swordsmanship.

Hmph. Thank you

for agreeing to train me.

[XENOVIA]

Holy Sword Durandal!

[AZAZEL]

That sacred blade of yours

is fickle in whom it

chooses as its wielder.

[AZAZEL] Taming it is

a sheer matter of will.

[AZAZEL]

I'd call you a gentle giant

if you weren't so

small and jittery.

Get a grip!

Seriously, while you

may think you lack talent,

it's your timid nature

that's really holding you back.

Simple fix, though.

Go out where people can see you.

That is the first step.

[GASPER] I'd rather die

than take this first step.

[AZAZEL] If you wish

to release the power

you have sealed within...

[AZAZEL] ...stop playing cat-

and-mouse with your identity.

That's the only way

you'll get stronger.

[KONEKO]

Balls.

[AZAZEL] Here's the

thing about Twilight Healing.

It's completely dependent

on the user's ability.

If you're good enough,

you can release the aura

from your whole body

and heal your friends

even when they're far away.

[ASIA thinking]

I'm going to do my best...

For you, Issei!

[ISSEI pants]

That was close!

[TANNIN] It seems you were

able to avoid it this time.

[ISSEI]

Hey, don't sell me short!

Three days in,

you haven't b*rned me yet!

I'm starting to think you

don't live up to the hype!

I would hate to disappoint.

So, how about I crank up

the firepower for you?

[crashing; ISSEI screaming]

[TANNIN]

I'd say that's enough for today.

Thank you. You are

truly wise and powerful, sir.

[SAIRAORG] Getting bent

over's not the worst thing

when it comes to enduring

Tannin's training.

But I'd expect nothing less

of the Red Dragon Emperor.

Who are you? Wise guy.

[SAIRAORG] Just a spectator.

I came here to see

how much you've improved

since your battle with Riser.

I had hoped for better.

Ah, well. You're just a kid.

But here, Let me give

you a piece of advice.

[SAIRAORG] Being number

one takes some balls.

[ISSEI] Rias!

I've missed you so much!

You were all

I could think about

while I was getting knocked

around by that dragon.

Each night, I longed

for your soft body pillows

as I lay my head

down on a long, hard log!

[RIAS]

Issei.

I'm very proud of you.

You've grown so strong

since you've been away.

Yeah, it's all well and good

that he's got more endurance.

Unfortunately, he never

manifested his Balance Breaker.

Yeah. I suck.

[AZAZEL] Don't worry, kid,

we'll find a good way

to ease your

performance anxiety.

Performance what now?

[opening door]

[AKENO]

Oh, you're all here.

[RIAS] Yes, everyone but Koneko.

[AKENO] She's getting

some much needed rest.

[ISSEI] I heard she fainted

during her training.

That's not like Koneko.

I wonder what could have

happened to her.

She added extra curriculum to

the training regimen I gave her.

The stress was more

than she could handle.

The poor thing.

If you'll excuse me,

I have to get ready

for tonight's reception.

I'll send someone for you later.

There are going to be a

lot of different clans there!

[ASIA] We're really invited

to a fancy reception?

[RIAS]

More like we're enlisted.

My brother has assigned us as

guards for VIP, because things

tend to get messy when high

ranking devils meet up.

That's politics for you.

Everyone will be watching us,

so we have to be on

our best behavior, guys.

[ISSEI]

Joy, other devil houses.

I bet even their servants

could kick the crap out of me.

Who cares?

I'm getting stronger by the day!

And next time I see that guy,

I'm gonna punch him in the d*ck!

This must be

Koneko's room.

[knocking]

Hey, you sleeping?

Don't say anything if you are.

[ISSEI thinking]

I shouldn't wake her.

I'm glad to see she's okay.

[RIAS] As the saying goes,

the cat's out of the bag.

[ISSEI]

Rias.

[RIAS] The reason she

pushes herself like that,

is because she's

fighting against

her own power and existence.

Wow, talk about melodramatic.

A long time ago, there

were two nekomata sisters.

Oh yeah, I've heard nekomata

are like cat spirits

or something.

[RIAS] The two were

orphaned and homeless,

but they had each other.

As long as they were together,

they had someone

they could depend on.

Eventually, both cats

were picked up by a devil.

In time, the elder sister

became their servant,

and finally had a

chance at a good life.

But by turning into a devil,

her hidden power

began to over flow.

[RIAS] Having lost control,

she k*lled her master,

and vanished without a trace.

[RIAS] She became

a dangerous stray

that decimated an

entire pursuit force.

Fearing that the younger sister

would follow in these footsteps,

the devil community

set out to dispose of her

before another

catastrophe could occur.

However, my brother intervened,

and was given

dominance over her.

Zechs then assigned her

to my service in hope

that I would fill poor

girl's life with happiness.

But first I had to

give her a name.

This feels like it's

gonna be a big reveal.

[KONEKO]

It's me, numbnuts.

[RIAS] Koneko.

You should be resting.

[KONEKO]

I'm all right.

Sorry for worrying you.

No surprise from the most

powerful Nekoshou clan member.

But still, don't push it.

I don't care from

whom you're descended,

you have to take

better care of yourself.

[KIBA] I've never seen

this many Satan-class devils.

At least, not in

one place, anyway.

It is pretty incredible.

Just be careful not to

offend anyone tonight.

Especially you, Issei.

[ISSEI] Why am

I getting singled out?

[ISSEI]

'Sup, Akeno?

Hi, Issei.

You having a good time?

Yeah, all right.

I just realized that

I never asked you

what kind of personal

training you got to do.

It wasn't anything special.

Normal stuff.

[ISSEI thinking] I guess when

you get to be as strong as her,

there's not anything that

really needs improving.

It's good to see

you again, Rias.

Same to you, Sona. Welcome.

How is your training camp going?

[SONA]

All right.

How's it hanging, Hyodo?

You getting on, or getting off?

Can't it be both?

So did training kick your ass?

No way, dude. You and I

may've had the same teacher,

but I took him to school!

There you are, Sona!

Oh, great, my sister's here.

[RIAS] It's been a

long time, Lady Serafall.

Oh! Hi, Rias!

I see you brought the Red

Dragon and everyone else, too!

Uh, hey...

I know that Michael

should be arriving soon,

but what about the others?

Don't worry.

I stuck Barkiel

on security duty,

and according to him,

Odin is not far out either.

[SIR ZECHS]

He's assigned to guarding Odin?

[AZAZEL]

As a precaution.

Some of the other Norse Gods

have a bug up their ass

about the alliance

he's made with you guys.

So I sent him an escort,

though he probably

wanted a prettier one.

Yes, it seems there are always

those who resist progress.

Yeah, but the problem

is that the Chaos Brigade

is recruiting those

same people as we speak.

[SONA] We're almost

to the waiting room now.

Let's hope we won't

be in there long.

A bunch of young,

hormonal devils

stuffed into one room together?

We'll be lucky

if we get out alive.

True, that.

[SEIGVAIRA]

If you've got a death wish,

I'm happy to fill it, Zephyrdor.

[ZEPHYRDOR]

"Filling" is my job.

Like I said before,

if you want a virgin

urgin'.

I'd volunteer.

What's their deal?

We're gonna rumble.

[RIAS sighs]

Right on cue.

[SAIRAORG]

At least we've come to expect

this sort of thing

after all these years.

[RIAS]

Hello, Sairaorg.

I'll give a warmer

welcome later.

[SAIRAORG]

That's enough.

Don't dishonor the Agares family

by humoring him, Princess.

We all know he's the

Glasya-Labolas problem-child.

[ZEPHYRDOR]

f*ck you, jackass!

sh*t talk like that

gets you a muff blunt.

I know it's strict,

but that's your only warning.

If you want to push it, I'd be

happy to show you the door.

Ha! I'm not afraid

of Bael trash!

Don't worry,

you're all right.

[ASIA]

Uh, thank you.

That was nuts!

A fine showing by the

next Bael family head.

No shock, though.

He is my cousin, after all.

[SAIRAORG]

Seriously.

[ISSEI thinking]

Cousin?

That's why he knew

about the fight with Riser.

Sairaorg is also ranked

number one among young devils.

[RAVEL]

Um, hey. Red Dragon Emperor.

It's been a while.

Oh wow, the fried

chicken's little sister.

That's Ravel Phoenix

to you, mister!

This is why

I hate inferior devils.

Uh, how's your brother doing?

Ha. Not well, he's been

depressed since the fight.

But I guess, maybe

he shouldn't have acted

like he was hot stuff to

begin with, or whatever.

You know what they

say about pride and falls.

Heh heh. Geez, you're

awfully hard on him.

Especially for someone

serving as his bishop.

When he lost, I was

removed from serving my brother

and placed in my mom's house.

Since she never

enters into games,

I can do whatever I want

because I'm a free bishop now.

You're on your own?

I didn't even know

that was an option.

Anyway, I would

like to offer you this

as a token of friendship.

Shouldn't you keep it

for your alone time?

You're an idiot.

That is normally a gift

for a high-class devil.

You, boy who thinks he's

the Red Dragon Emperor,

are an inferior devil at best.

Therefore you should

gratefully accept the offer!

Y'know, I think you're right.

That's way too formal a thing

to call a schmuck like me.

So why don't you call

me Issei instead

considering that's

my actual name?

[coughs] Very well then,

I will give you the pleasure

of being called

Lord Issei from now on.

That sound good?

Still weird.

Now that that's

out of the way.

Let me make you an

offer you can't refuse.

How about the next time we meet,

I give you a

mouthful of my teas?

Uh...

[RAVEL]

Uh! What I meant was...

Lately I've been

making my own cakes,

and they go great with tea.

[RAVEL] Maybe next

time you can try them.

But not right now.

I need to greet the other

guests, so I gotta go. Bye!

Wait, what? I thought

Xenovia was hard to read,

but that chick's way worse.

[gasps]

[gasps] Koneko!

[ISSEI]

Aw, crap!

Okay, I know

she's going down on it.

Okay now what floor?

Rias, why are you here?

I saw you freak out,

and I wanted to check on you.

Koneko bolted out of

the room all of a sudden,

so I was trying to follow her.

It seemed like she

was chasing something.

We can look for her together

and leave the others here.

I don't want to make a

scene if we don't have to.

Yes, thank you so much.

Okay. I know where Koneko

is, and there's no time to lose.

[KONEKO thinking]

I'm sure I felt it.

There's no mistaking

that presence.

[KUROKA] Well, it's certainly

been a hot minute.

Totally called it.

Hello, Shirone.

[KONEKO]

Kuroka, what it do?

[ODIN]

Long time no see.

[ISSEI]

Koneko's one of us,

and we're not just

gonna hand her over.

[BIKOU]

Hey-oh! Kitty-cat!

[KUROKA] I'm glad you can

still feel our sisterly bond.

[ISSEI] In that case,

let me poke your titties.

[KONEKO]

You're the worst.

I won't leave!

I've found my place as

a part of Rias's family!
