Steve, Koneko, Artoria, Kuroka, and Ravel had just reached Moscow's Train Station, after a grueling 30-hour flight from Narita Airport to Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow.
"My back is all cramped, nya!" complained Kuroka stretching like a, well, cat.
"Hah, there's more traveling," Steve told her with a smirk. His hair was currently dyed Hazel, and his name was Otto Becker for the sake of the mission.
"Let's just go..." she groaned as Koneko giggled at her sister.
"HEY! You have no right to laugh at me when you were in his lap all the time! Unlike you, my seat was the normal uncomfortable one nya!"
"You could have just asked to switch," Koneko said with a deadpan making Kuroka blush.
"W-why would I d-do that NYA!" Kuroka said, flustered as Artoria looked at her amused.
"Because you're a simp," Koneko retorted as Kuroka angrily yelled at her.
"TRAITOR!"
As for Ravel, she was just watching all this, her left eye twitching.
"Alright, you both can have your sibling quarrels later, focus on the mission," Steve said with a sigh as both of them pouted.
"Here here," he said petting them both.
"I wanna do it too..." muttered Artoria under her breath staring at them.
"Didn't you spend the whole flight sleeping on his shoulder hugging him?" Ravel said raising her eyebrows as Artoria looked away.
"... It's less like a mission and more like a family holiday..." Steve muttered, plain-faced, though one could see a smile tugging at his lips.
"Okay! FOCUS! Come on, we're here for a job," he yelled as a couple of girls and a guy stopped to look at him, surprised.
"Sorry, it's just a little disagreement between colleagues about work," Steve said in Russian, flashing his charming smile making the girls blush.
"A-ah, I see. Well all the best with your work," the guy said as they started walking again.
"Okay, now let's just go," he said as others nodded.
Finally, after boarding a train to St Petersburg, they settled in their compartments.
"Mou, I wanted to ride that Red one," Kuroka muttered with a pout as Steve chuckled.
"Yeah, it looked really cool," Artoria said with Ravel and Koneko agreeing.
"Well, it was Red Arrow, a Luxury Train. We're posing as a relatively less-known English Conspiracy bloggers, who're here to explore the recently circulating rumors. These kinds of people are a little tight on the budget, and want to save every yen. Don't you think it'd be weird to board a Luxury Train?"
"True..." Artoria said as she put her head in his lap.
"Anyways, how do you operate this?" asked Ravel holding a Sony A9 Mark II camera.
And for the next few minutes, he explained in detail to Ravel how to use it.
"Alright, let's go over this one more time. Kuroka will be the Videographer, and Koneko will be the Assistant Writer. As for Art, she's posing as my wife and the Photographer with Ravel being the Intern Photographer. Now I want you all to introduce yourself to me with Name, Age, Role, and basic details," Steve said as they nodded.
"I am Ava Smith, the Videographer. I am 24, and I am single with no siblings and parents!" Kuroka said in English, holding back her Neko instincts.
"I am Emma Becker, age 25, Photographer, married to Otto Becker and have a mother," Artoria said.
"I'm Emily Carter, a 21-year-old assistant Writer. Have a Boyfriend. Away from Family," Koneko said in an emotionless tone.
"I'm Cecily Williams, Intern Photographer. Age 18, single, Father, Mother, and a brother," Ravel said, trying to sound mature.
"Keep your own voice, Ravel, while some may be fooled by that, any experienced person will be immediately able to tell you're forcing it. Just practice the British accent. Okay then, from today onwards, until we get back to Japan, THIS IS YOUR IDENTITY. Forget who you were, who you are, for the next few weeks this is it. No one can know the real you. Only when I tell you it's safe, then you can act like yourself. Even if we're alone, don't drop the act," Steve instructed as they nodded.
"So do we need to act even right now?" Kuroka asked, still trying to hold back her Neko instinct.
"Nope, in case you forgot, I control infinity, which means I can create barriers from which sound cannot escape. Right now the walls and doors are soundproof," he said as others nodded.
"Anyways, let's just time skip to when we reach St Petersburg, cuz the author is fucking lazy."
"What was that?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Kuoh, Issei was just waking up.
'Well, it's been a while since I've gone to school. Today's the day I return... man what are these soft things?'
He opened his eyes, only to find himself face to face with boobs.
'... THIS IS THE BEST MORNING EVER!'
"Rias senpai?" he asked as she lowered and her face came into view.
"Had a good sleep?"
"Yeah, never been happier waking up. Though it might have to do with something other than the sleep quality..."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I saw you were already asleep so I helped myself," she said, not really sorry.
"... Please help yourself on a daily basis..."
"Ara, Issei Kun is a pervert," she said teasingly only for him to raise his eyebrows.
"I thought that was a given?"
"Mou, you've become hard to tease," she said causing him to smirk.
"Ehe"
"Aaanyways, we do have some time, and you know, we're kinda dating..."
"Kinda?"
"WHY ARE YOU TEASING ME? SO we're dating, and well... I'm naked..."
"Senpai..." Issei said taking a deep breath.
"Sorry, but training!" he said getting up with Rias ending on his lap.
"Huh? Oh yeah..." she said with a pout.
"Hey don't pout," he said with a sigh as he got up.
"But you've got me who's with you in YOUR bed NAKED! And you still choose to train?"
"Senpai, don't forget that if I didn't train, this wouldn't be possible. Plus it's not like I want to train more than I want to do you. It's just... I need to stay alive to do that. And if Steve found out..." a shiver ran up his spine as he said this, causing Rias to chuckle.
"Okay, my strongest pawn, let's get to training. But first..." she said and then proceeded to jump on him pinning him onto the wall and proceeded to kiss him.
"Let your senpai indulge a little.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kiba was met with a tired and panting Issei.
"Ano, Issei Kun, what exactly happened to you?" he asked with a sweatdrop.
"My life was sucked out of me, in more ways than one," he said with a heavy blush as Asia too blushed next to him.
"I didn't know you went that far. Though I am more surprised that your parents didn't do anything about that," Gil said walking next to them.
"SENPAI! W-we d-did not go that far. I-it was just kissing, w-when Asia C-Chan walked in..."
"And joined?"
"..."
"At least you trained right?"
"YES SIR!"
"I'm just intrigued to see the responses of our school. The face of the Pervert population doesn't show up for two whole weeks and then turns up with a new look and better hairstyle? What will their reactions be?" said Kiba as Gil sighed.
"I'm just relieved that he changed his hairstyle from that shitty one. It was embarrassing," he said as Issei pouted.
"It wasn't that bad!"
"IT LOOKED LIKE A DUCK'S BUTT! A THIRD COPY OF SASUGAY UCHIWA!"
