A nice, simple, pool day!

"Alright, everyone, it's our club's turn to clean the school pool today!" Rias announced in the club room the next day. "And when we're done, we'll take the opportunity to relax a bit, so bring your swimsuits!"

Issei looked up, his eyes sparkling. "...really?" he asked, barely daring to believe it. "That sort of thing is exactly what I need! Sure, there's a bit of work involved, but I really need some mundane things to do right now..." he admitted.

Kiba looked at Issei, nonplussed. "...huh, I thought for sure that you'd be most focused on,-" he started.

"Not to mention, you girls in swimsuits!" Issei concluded, practically drooling at the prospect.

"...ah, there it is," Kiba chortled. "Should have known it was coming."

"Of course you should have, it was too good to be true," Koneko rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Why are you even interested in girls in bikinis, anyway? You've seen multiple women naked already, because you're far luckier than you deserve..." she added to Issei with a raised eyebrow.

Issei turned a scandalized gaze towards Koneko. "... you're joking, right?" he asked her.

"Afraid she isn't, Master," Rias shook her head with a mocking, pitying look towards Koneko. "She's still so naive to the appeals of sex..."

"Such a misguided prude," Raynare nodded sagely.

"Guess you'll just have to educate her, Issei," Akeno chuckled in a rare moment of solidarity with Raynare, and Koneko froze.

"No, please don't!" she protested, flushing as she waved her hands. Unfortunately for her, it was too late. Issei's pervert mode was already set off.

"The nude state of a woman is only one of the aspects of arousal their form has to offer!" Issei declared with conviction, raising a fist. "There are so many other options to choose from! A girl in a swimsuit... That, that offers a tempting blend of exposure and tantalizing concealment! Nudity is wonderful, but so are bikinis, and even one pieces!"

"...why do I even open my mouth around him? Just... why?" Koneko whined, burying her face in her hands.

Raynare snorted. "Because you refuse to learn, that's why. Being a pervert is not wrong at all, you're just a judgemental prude. So long as Issei holds some basic respect for consent, no one should think less of him. Though his Dress Break technique does kind of put a toe over the line, I admit, but given he only uses it in a fight, that's at least kind of acceptable in my opinion at least," she added.

"...ugh, I'm surrounded by perverts..." Koneko groaned.

"Well, our King's a Sex Genie. Better get used to it," Xenovia remarked with a small smile.

"It's not even the perversion she really has issue with, well, at least not to the same extent as her real issue. She's just skeptical that Master won't ever take his power over me too far," Rias informed her new Knight, who nodded in understanding.

"Let's get to that pool, I could use a nice dip!" Aisia cheered. "Everyone got their swimsuits?" When everyone nodded, they all filed out ahead of Issei and Kiba, everyone but Koneko eager to surprise Issei with their swimsuits.

"...oh dear. I imagine everyone but Koneko picked a swimsuit out with you in mind. You're a lucky guy, Issei," Kiba remarked with a smile.

"...I really am..." Issei remarked. "More than I deserve, honestly."

"Oh, I doubt that. You've been surprisingly responsible with Rias so far, despite you being a pervert," Kiba patted Issei's shoulder. "The fact that Koneko can still judge you is proof of that. If you ever were going to go crazy with that power, she'd be smitten with you with but a wish from you already. So I'd say you're perfectly worthy of it. At least more than most of the male populace that would use the power in such ways by now."

Issei flushed at the praise Kiba offered. "...thanks... at any rate, I think we gave the girls enough time to change. Let's go." They headed out of the club towards the pool.
