For now, they have dinner, then a fight later!

"Let's get dressed, or at least I should, Kiba and Koneko should be back with food soon," Issei panted, and Rias nodded, and she stood up, grabbing Issei's clothes and handing them to him. "Thanks," he nodded, taking them back and putting them on.

Rias then sat next to Akeno, not bothering to get dressed herself. Before long, the door opened, and Kiba and Koneko walked in with several bags of food in boxes. Issei inhaled through his nose, finding it smelled heavenly.

"We got Yakimeshi for tonight," Kiba nodded, setting the bags on the table. It was a mix of stir fried rice with vegetables, various meats and seafood. "It's a bit heavy on the seafood portion," he added, glancing at Koneko. "Hope that's fine," he added to Issei.

"I don't mind," Issei replied as they dug in. "...huh, not bad. What's the name of the takeout place?" he asked, starting a conversation that eased some of the tension he was feeling near Koneko, and of course, from anticipation of the upcoming battle.

Once they had eaten, Rias nodded as she stood and finally got dressed. "Shall we get going?" she asked.

"Oh yes, I'm eager to make the Stray answer for their crimes," Akeno nodded, standing up as she clapped her hands together. With that, they headed out.

...

"...this is creepy," Issei noted as they stood outside an old, abandoned house in the night. He was shivering slightly.

"...for once, I agree with you... I can smell the blood," Koneko added with a shiver of her own.

"Well, we won't get it done just standing out here, so let's head in, and keep your guards up, everyone. We're entering an enemy's territory, so they'll have hole field advantage, they know their area better. Issei, watch closely, and you'll learn about the Evil Piece system."

Issei nodded as they walked forward, entering the dilapidated structure.
