High School DxD: Return of the Crimson Dragon Emperor Chapter 1 1 - I’m Back!!

My na's Issei Hyoudou. Eighteen, living for passion and ecchi.

I'm sprinting through a dark forest, full speed. Why? I'm being chased.

"Issei-sama! Return to the castle!"

Thirty maids, real ones, not cosplayers, chase . Normally, I'd be all over their curves. Even now, I'm tempted.

But—

Whoosh!

An arrow zips past my face.

"Whoa! Trying to kill ? That's a real arrow! Blunt the tip, at least!"

"They can't catch you, partner," Ddraig, the Welsh Dragon sealed in my Boosted Gear, says. "They think a shot might stop you."

I'll explain the Sacred Gear later. First, why am I dodging arrows from ard maids? It started three years ago.

Three years back, I was in my world, a regular third-year middle schooler.

One night, post-howork, I was reading an adult magazine on my bed. Then, I got sucked in—literally.

Next thing, I'm in a won's bathhouse. Crashed heads with a girl, both knocked out.

She was Audilia's princess. I'd landed in her castle's bath. Explaining myself? A nightmare. They nearly executed .

I convinced them I wasn't a threat. Asking about my situation only confused more.

This was another world. The girl, a princess. Heroes, demon lords, and a human-demon war raged here.

Pure fantasy. I panicked, but with a princess, heroes, and magic before , I had to believe.

No way ho. The princess and heroes let stay as a guest. I missed ho, but the king, soldiers, and a hero were kind. I trained, shopped, and laughed with the hero. I considered staying forever.

Then war escalated. Demons attacked the kingdom. My friend, the hero, saved from an attack but paid the price. My Boosted Gear awakened then.

"You caused his death! Leave!" the princess said.

She was right. But it wasn't her heart speaking. A way ho was found; she wanted safe.

Fleeing was easy, but abandoning them? No way. My friend's last promise drove .

I left to train alone. A master taught Renkan Keikikou, energy control. Ddraig trained as the Red Dragon Emperor. I trained brutally, near death daily, to protect them.

Two years later, stronger, I returned, reclaid the kingdom. I fought across the land. Yesterday, I beat the Demon Lord one-on-one.

He entrusted his daughter to . "She's innocent," he said, vanishing to end the war. He wanted her free from his title, safe, happy.

I decided to take her to my world.

Now, I'm running, a sack over my shoulder. Inside, the Demon Lord's daughter.

It's shaking. Hope she's okay. I'm careful, but hang on!

Another arrow. I dodge, face the maids. Two drop from above, swords raised.

"Hero-sama, prepare yourself!"

"No chance!"

I slip past, touching them. I'm called a hero now, after the front lines.

"Sorry, I can't stop! Dress Break!"

Snap.

Their clothes shred underwear too. Curves everywhere.

Thank you! What a view!

Dress Break, my only magic, a man's dream. I'm terrible at magic otherwise.

"Kyaaa!"

They cover up, mortified. I morize the sight, keep running. More maids pursue.

Wait. Stop them instead? Idea: paradise awaits!

"Partner, too far…" Ddraig groans.

Quiet! I may never see this again!

I charge the maids.

After morizing their forms, I reach a clearing. A stone gate glows with rainbow light—the Gate to Another World. It'll take ho, per records.

Alice, the princess, waits. Long golden hair, travel gear.

"You stripped them all, huh?" she smirks.

"How'd you know!?"

"Nosebleed."

Blood on my nose and clothes. Will this wash out?

"Why're you here, Alice?"

"To stop you?"

"Flattered, but I'm going. This world's better without . Hero, Demon Lord slayer—cool now, trouble later."

My influence could spark human wars. I won't let that happen.

Alice reads . Not the Demon Lord's daughter part, I hope.

"You're leaving…" she murmurs.

"Wanna stay with you longer, Alice."

"W-what!? Stop that!"

She blushes, turns away. I smile.

"I'm going."

"We'll et again?"

"Call , I'll run back!"

"How?"

"Uh… good question."

Is there a way? The records said…

Alice laughs. "Still an idiot, even stronger."

"Shut it! Willpower'll do it!"

"You probably will."

We laugh, first real one with her in ages.

"Gotta go."

"Okay."

"Take care, kingdom stuff and all."

I offer my fist.

"You too, Issei."

She bumps it.

"See ya."

"See you."

She heads to the kingdom, I to the gate. Rainbow light engulfs .

"Ugh… where am I?"

My adult magazine's here, from before I left. Room's unchanged.

Sa date on the clock.

A dream?

No. The sack's beside .

Three years there, no ti here. Still fifteen, a third-year.

No exam prep. It's July I'll manage.

I open the curtains. My hotown, Kuoh Town, unchanged.

"I'm ho."
