Issei Hyoudou stared dumbly at the girl by the classroom door, feeling as though he had been transported to heaven. He ignored everything around him; his eyes held only the angelic girl before him.
He had already resigned himself to giving up, since the two of them truly belonged to different worlds. Issei Hyoudou knew his own limits, even though he wanted a crystal palace.
He wanted a whole group of wives who belonged to him.
But reality was that even the most ordinary girls at school avoided him. The only woman he seemed able to interact with was his own mother.
So he no longer dreamed of a harem—mainly because he did not dare to. Getting a girlfriend and no longer being single was his greatest wish.
As for a girl like the one before him, one who stood alongside the beauty who had held first place for years and Rias-senpai... he did not even dare think about it...
Yet now, the girl had come to find him on her own. It felt like a dream. All his previous gloom had vanished!
It was not until his friends beside him shook his shoulders that Issei Hyoudou came back to his senses. Hearing their jealous, disgruntled remarks, he wanted to explain...
"No, I..."
"All right, enough. We won't disturb you, man."
Though they were jealous of Issei Hyoudou, neither of them said much more.
At that moment, the angelic girl entered the classroom and came up to Issei Hyoudou.
"Hyoudou, do you have anything important to do right now? If... not, would you like to go for a walk alone with me?"
Kiana walked in without paying any attention to Issei Hyoudou's two friends. They were merely ordinary people. The braided girl beside them, however, felt slightly familiar to her.
