127.
Even if you tell him to do everything, does he have to do it this thoroughly?
How popular do you want to be with girls, little brother?
"I did everything you said, so why don't I have a girlfriend, bro?!"
And it seems he still doesn't have a girlfriend.
128.
Setting aside his true intentions, Issei's specs are overwhelmingly superior. His looks are above average, and with proper grooming, he can be considered handsome, if not a full-blown pretty boy. His grades are maintained in the upper ranks, and he seems to have considerable talent in sports, putting him in the top tier.
Considering his unique affability and other traits, he's more than qualified to be someone's boyfriend.
So why isn't he dating?
"You have to be the one to ask a girl to be your girlfriend first."
"If I could say that, do you think I'd be worried about not having a girlfriend?!"
This virgin kid.
129.
It seems he doesn't have the courage to even talk to a girl first. If he openly wants to be a Harem King, this guy surprisingly has a pure-hearted side. Wouldn't talk of becoming a Harem King vanish if he actually got a girlfriend?
Actually, the whole Harem King thing is more like him just parroting the perverted old man's words.
I advised him to at least try talking to a girl.
Getting a girlfriend comes after that.
130.
It seems he can manage work-related conversations but is completely incapable of openly flirting or making moves. I looked at him as if to say, 'How much of a virgin are you?' When I said that, Issei blushed furiously as if ashamed.
You're a virgin too, bro!
Is that so?
I don't know about this life, but in my life before the last...
Hmm, honestly, my memory is vague, so I'm not sure.
It's not a problem I can reveal to anyone to begin with.
131.
He made soul friends in middle school, it seems.
Friends named Matsuda and Motohama, and like Issei, they're all perverted brats. It seems they even made a vow of brotherhood, like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. That's not a vow of brotherhood; it's a pervert pact, you fools.
Either way, they seem to get along really well.
The three of them...
The sight of the three of them hanging together overlaps with my own form in my previous life.
What are Ophis and Trihexa doing now?
I wonder if they're eating well.
132.
Seeing me like this, Issei seemed to subconsciously notice and suggested we go to a karaoke place together. It seems I had become a bit sullen without realizing it. This foolish brother is usually dense, but in moments like this, he's sharp as a ghost.
Honestly, it would be a lie to say I don't miss those two.
But I don't have the power to return to the Dimensional Gap, nor the information network or anything to find the other cults.
I played along with my foolish brother's antics and had a lot of fun.
133.
The three idiots openly say they want girlfriends.
No, I'm telling you, if you want a girlfriend, you have to start by talking to a girl. If you don't start there, you can't even begin.
But all three are virgins, so they can't even start. These guys, if they don't do something about it...
134.
Each of the three has their own merits, and if they could just highlight those, they might manage something, but they seem completely clueless in that area. Did these guys perhaps trade their talent for that sense in an equivalent exchange?
Still, well, since the three of them have fun together, isn't that good enough?
135.
I entered Kuoh Academy.
136.
It seems this school isn't inhabited only by ordinary humans. Students who appear to be classmates, like Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri, and several others, seem to be devils. I'm not about to transfer, and they don't seem to be causing major problems, so I'll quietly keep my mouth shut.
If I stay still, they probably won't notice I've figured them out.
137.
The three idiots, including Issei, say they also got into Kuoh Academy.
Wait, isn't the level there pretty high?
Not that the girls' level is high, but it's a tough place to get into, right?
Issei, who has studied diligently until now, might manage, but wouldn't the other two struggle?
138.
The three idiots started studying late into the night to get into Kuoh Academy together. Do you really have to go that far??? Couldn't you just enter a normal high school and make girlfriends there?
But studying isn't a bad thing, so I left them to it.
And two passed easily, while one passed by the skin of his teeth.
Since when did grades rise so easily?
How did you guys do it???
138.
The three idiots entered Kuoh Academy and became rowdy. This time, they're really going to get girlfriends, they say, boosting each other's morale, which is quite amusing. Before making such resolutions, first become able to hold a girl's hand.
Is this what it feels like to watch people trying to run before they can walk?
139.
There's a guy named Yuuto Kiba in Issei's class, and it seems Issei is jealous that he's called a prince. Well, starting with his appearance and the image he projects to those around him, he's like a prince from a fairy tale.
But your reputation around school isn't bad either, is it?
I didn't bother saying the rest.
140.
I became a third-year.
And Issei became a second-year.
141.
A big event happened when Issei became a second-year.
Without my knowledge, it seems he was confessed to by a girl.
Her name is Yuuma Amano, and she's a beautiful girl with long black hair, it seems.
Congratulations, kid!
Saying that all his efforts had been rewarded, I patted his back hard, and while complaining it hurt, he was grinning from ear to ear. He must be really happy, huh? When I told him that if he messes up here, it's all over, Issei nodded repeatedly, knowing it well.
Without realizing it, all talk of being a Harem King had vanished.
"I'm going to do my best. She's the first girlfriend I ever wanted to have!"
