Short Notice: This Special Chapter would probably be the longest one out of all the Specials! along with #15. Anyways, Enjoy Reading 😊

"It's been a while since we were last ordered to take down a stray devil." Issei said and the Goddess agreed at this.
" Well, you already know the drill." Azazel said in a carefree tone. "Finish the task and return."
The ORC stepped inside the magic circle and teleported. They arrived at a forest and the group immediately scanned the area.
" I'm surprised it isn't an abandoned warehouse this time." Erin said.
" Be on your guard, minna." Rias said cautiously. " The enemy is well versed in using magic particularly illusion spells.
" Got it, Buchou."
They walked further inside the forest and Issei was slightly creeped out.
" Geez. Is it just me or is this place kinda creepy?"
" Hehe, not at all, Issei-san." Gasper said as his eyes glowed with delight. " I love the darkness."
"Wha- Erin, look at Gasper!" Issei pointed to the boy in fright. "His attitude is scary."
The Goddess sighed and lightly shoved him away.
"That's just his nature and please walk properly. We'll fall down if you keep pushing me."
*(Snap)*
Rias stopped walking and the group followed. The red head looked up at the tree branch who seemed to suffer some cracks
" Koneko. Can you sense someone on a nearby distance?"
The girl concentrated as she heightened her senses. She then nodded in silence.
*(BOOM!)*
Rias delivered a magic blast and the silhouette of the mysterious being can be seen running off."
"Everyone, we have to catch that stray!"
*(WHOOSH!)*
Xenovia and Kiba ran in speed while Issei prepared his gear. The Goddess summoned her wings and flew to the sky to have a good view on where the enemy was heading.
*(ZAP!)*
" Ara, ara. You can't escape for long." chuckled Akeno after using her lightning.
Rias and the others eventually cornered the stray who was sent backwards to a tree.
" [BOOST!]"
" Give it up, buddy." Issei said seriously.
When the boy delivered a strong punch, he was shocked to see the stray disappear.
" Where did he go?"
" I'm guessing it was just an illusion." Rias said in annoyance.
*(BOOM!)*
" Over there!" Asia pointed to the source of the attack and the group hurriedly ran.
They can see a mummy writhing in the ground and the Goddess was hovering a few meters above.
*(Lands)*
" Good job, Erin." Rias said and turned towards the enemy.
" His illusions were a hassle. It's a good thing I can identify the real one by identifying the aura signature."
Rias motioned for the members to restrain the stray and the two knights each grabbed a hold of his arms.
" Any last words you wish to say?" said Rias as she summoned her destructive power.
The stray released a blast of magic which was headed towards Issei.
*(WHOOSH)*
" Move it! Don't just stand there-
*(FLASH!)*
The Goddess shoved Issei but unfortunately, the two of them still got affected by the attack.
Both of them immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
"Issei-san! Erin-san!" Asia shouted in worry as she rushed to the two. The sounds of strong blast was eventually heard as Rias finished off the stray for good.
________________________________________
" Ugh.." Erin massaged her head and looked around to see that she is back to her room.
" Erin!" Rias hurriedly approached her and gave her a hug.
" How did I get back?"
"After we fought off that stray, you and Issei passed out after getting hit by the magic blast. It's a good thing that you weren't out for long. You were only unconscious for nearly an hour."
" I see.." Erin sat upright and Rias placed a hand on her forehead worriedly.
" Are you feeling any better? Do you feel pain in your body? We don't know whether that attack left any grave damages."
Erin examined her body and replied.
"I'm fine. I just suffered a slight headache but other than that, nothing serious."
" Yokatta." Rias turned towards the door. " I'm informing Archaea about your condition. I also have to check Issei's progress and see if Asia healed any damages he might have acquired."
Erin fell back on her bed and placed an arm over her head.
" I'm not feeling anything but at the same time I have this weird feeling that something is up."
She groaned in irritation and eventually decided to sleep her worries away.
The next morning, Erin woke up feeling drained. She had weird thoughts circulating her mind all night and this didn't made her sleep better.
On the other side, Issei plopped down on the seat who seems to have an irritated aura around him.
" Issei, how are you feeling?" Archaea asked as they ate their breakfast.
" Fine. I didn't suffer any serious injury, I think." replied Issei in a passive tone which slightly surprised the group.
Archaea didn't question his mood and they went on eating ther meal peacefully.
" We're heading off."
" Take care, everyone."
The group headed towards Kuoh and Issei and Asia walked in front of the group. They were a few meters away from the others and when Issei snapped at Asia, the rest of the girls stopped walking.
"Leave me alone. I want to go on my own."
" I-Issei-san." Asia was shocked and were close to having teary eyes.
" Stop being clingy." Issei said coldly as he turned away and went off on his own.
The girls gaped at this and Asia lost her strength, falling on her knees at the reaction.
They immediately approached the girl and consoled her, save for Erin who lagged behind the group. She was having her own struggle as she clutched her head in annoyance.
"Damn. What is up with these headaches? And these weird thoughts aren't helping either!"
Erin was half attentive to what was happening around her and she briefly glanced at the group to see Asia who was now sobbing.
" Poor Asia... why is she crying? Tsk. It doesn't suit her.. her sweet face, that melodious voice.." Erin had dull eyes as she kept on rambling.
She snapped back to her senses and shook her head to rid of those thoughts.
" What is wrong with me?! Just last night I kept on thinking about the girls' naked forms for some stupid reason." She sighed.
" Erin-chan."
The Goddess slightly flinched as she felt Akeno's hand on her shoulder.
"Ah- Do you need anything, senpai?" Erin quickly said.
" Nothing. I just decided to check up on you after I saw you fall behind the group." replied Akeno who noticed a slight oddity on her behavior.
" It's a wonder why she didn't rush to Asia earlier."
" Oh um, thanks senpai. But I'm fine."
" Just tell me if you need anything, fufu." Akeno said with a smile as the Goddess gazed on her. The weird thoughts suddenly rushed back and Erin was imagining Akeno in a variety of inappropriate ways.
She quickly turned away from the girl which made Akeno curious.
" Erin-chan?"
" I-I'll go on ahead, senpai." Erin replied in a rush as she walked away from the girl.
" Fudge fudge fudge. This can't be happening. Why am I thinking like a pervert?!"
She walked past the other girls who were still surrounding Asia and when Rias noticed her leaving in haste, she quickly took a hold of her arm to stop the girl from advancing.
" What's wrong?"
" Shit. Not this woman. I don't have time for this." thought Erin as weird sensations appeared from the slight touch
She yanked her hand rather forcefully which made Rias gasp lightly.
" I'm sorry but stay away from me for the rest of the day."
" Erin-"
" I don't want to see all of you for today."
This shocked the girls and Asia's mood further dampened at this.
---- Time Skip -----
"I tried finding them but Erin and Issei walked out as soon as classes were over." Kiba informed.
" Hai. They avoided us for the remainder of class, Rias-san." added Xenovia which made Rias adorn a serious look.
"This is bad. I don't know the main reason why they are behaving that way but we have to find them and bring them here."
" You think that attack they suffered from the stray had to do with this, Buchou?" Akeno voiced her suspicion.
"It's possible. We don't know the effects of the attack but I'm certain Erin and Issei's behavior is one of the those."
Rias turned to her members
" Find them and retrieve them at all costs."
" Hai, Buchou."
The group split up so the search would be faster. Gasper paired with Koneko while Asia went with the two knights. Akeno went solo and they decided to head straight to the clubroom once they found the two.
Erin was strolling around the school grounds after she finished hanging out with some girls and peeping on them. She was now consumed by eroge thoughts and was far from her usual self.
" Ara, Erin-chan. I finally found you."
The Goddess instantly faced the voice and a smirk appeared on her face.
" Oh, Akeno-senpai. Do you need anything?"
The raven head started walking to her and Erin observed the actions in amusement.
" I suppose, Erin-chan. Buchou and the rest of us have to ask you some questions."
" Oh my. I didn't do anything wrong, did I?" Erin fake gasped and Akeno instanly noticed something off about her.
" But sorry. Didn't I warned you to stay away from me?"
" You're right. But we were given orders so I have to take you by will or by force." replied Akeno with a wink.
" Really?" Erin stepped closer to Akeno which made the girl back away on the wall.
" You really do like things getting rough. Don't you, senpai?" Erin's voice was low and she took a hold of Akeno's chin. She made eye contact with the girl and continued in a seductive voice.
" And you didn't listen to what I said, you really are a naughty girl." whispered Erin which made Akeno shudder. The Goddess placed a hand on the girl's waist and pulled her closer.
" I suppose I shall punish you, senpai~"
Erin leaned closer and attempted to kiss Akeno. The raven head had a blush on her cheeks and was frozen on the spot.
" Erin-senpai, Akeno-senpai."
The two stopped in their tracks and found Koneko staring at them passively.
" We have to bring Erin-senpai back."
" Sorry Koneko-chan. We'll catch up later. Akeno and I are busy, you see." replied Erin and Akeno was speechless on her hold.
" Gasper."
The vampire boy appeared from his hiding place and he activated his power which froze Erin and Akeno.
Koneko separated the two and she placed a handcuff on the Goddess. Gasper then unfreezed them and Erin was surprised to see her hands restrained.
"Did you put this on, Koneko-chan?" asked Erin amusedly. " I didn't know that you are quite kinky."
"Let's go, senpai." replied Koneko in a stoic tone as she tugged on the handcuffs.
She glanced behind Akeno who was still out of herself.
" Akeno-senpai. You're supposed to retrieve Erin-senpai and not attempt to make-out with her."
" A-Ara.." Akeno stuttered on her words and the mascot girl walked off.
They reached the clubroom and Issei was already there, restrained by Xenovia and Kiba.
" What is wrong with all of you? Fuck. Leave me alone."
"Buchou, we found Erin-senpai." announced Koneko as she placed the girl next to Issei.
" Good job, everyone. We will analyze what happened to these two."
" Aside from their odd behavior, nothing else was unusual." Xenovia said and the rest nodded at this.
" Issei had a negative attitude. He kept on demanding to be left alone." Kiba informed.
" I see. What about Erin?" Rias turned to Akeno who blushed lightly, remembering the events.
" She seems flirtier and tries to seduce people."
" Erin-senpai is like a pervert. She tries to kiss people." spoke Koneko and glanced at the raven head.
"Hmm. The attack might caused them to behave strangely which is not how they normally act."
Rias cupped her chin and voiced her opinion.
" If I'm not mistaken, both of them seemed to have a switch on how they act. Erin adapted Issei's perverted behavior while Issei copied Erin's tendency to be isolated."
"What shall we do, Buchou? I doubt that my Twilight Healing can take away the spell which Erin-san and Issei-san suffered." Asia worriedly said.
" I'm asking for Sona's help. I'm sure they can lift this spell which affected the two."
Rias made a call and after a few minutes the Student council arrived in the clubroom.
"What's the problem?"
Rias motioned to Erissei on the couch.
" The two of them suffered a possible spell from the stray we encountered causing a switch on their behavior."
Saji raised his brow at this and glanced at the two for any weird behavior. Issei had a grumpy look and Erin seemed to look at them with interest.
" I understand. I think we can lift these type of spells."
" Hello, Saji." Erin greeted with a wink. " You're looking handsome today."
Saji was caught off guard and he stuttered on his position until Sona stopped him.
" You too, President. You're looking cute with those glasses same as Tsubaki-senpai." The Vice president widened her eyes slightly while Sona only sighed.
" I can see what you mean." said the girl to Rias.
She motioned to her peerage who retrieved Erissei from the couch.
" I'll be taking them to the Sitri Residence. Hopefully, we'll be back by tomorrow."
Sona prepared a magic circle and the members stepped in. Issei was struggling from their hold while Erin was simply amused.
" Release me, all of you. What the hell is wrong with you guys?"
"It feels flattering to be accompanied by such beautiful people." chuckled Erin which made the rest of the Council girls blush
" Focus, minna." ordered Sona and they immediately straightened up.
They reached the residence and surprisingly, Serafall was there who immediately rushed to Sona.
" Onee-sama what are you doing here?"
" I decided to have a quick visit and I guess I'm lucky because you're also here." replied the Maou as she did a twirl.
"The charm of the Magical Girl outfit never fails. Tehee~ "
Sona sighed at this and Serafall noticed Erissei on the background.
" Ooh. What are the Dragon Emperors doing here?" She waved to the two.
"Hello, Red Emperor and Blue Empress."
" I apologize onee-sama but we have to do some healing to the two."
" Why, what happened?"
" They suffered a spell which made them behave unusually."
Sona walked past the Maou and her peerage followed her. When Erin was nearing Serafall, she made a stop when they were face to face with each other.
"It's a pleasure to see the cute magical girl again."
Serafall grinned at this and made a curtsey.
" Hai ~ Thank you for your -
*(Chu!)*
The Student Council were slack jawed seeing Erin kiss the Maou.
Serafall's eyes widened and the Goddess winked at her as she pulled away.
" Oy, can you release me from this handcuffs?" called out Issei to the shocked group.
--- Lemme Time Skip again -----
"Thank you for healing us, Buchou." Issei awkwardly said once they were gathered in the clubroom. " And I'm sorry for how I reacted, Asia."
The blonde hugged him and replied.
" Don't worry about it, Issei-san."
" Rather than thanking me, you should give your thanks to the Student Council instead. They were the ones who healed Erin and you." replied Rias while looking through some documents.
" I'll make sure to thank President Sona."
" How are you two feeling now?" The red head temporarily stopped from her work.
" I'm feeling fine and awesome." grinned Issei and raised his fist.
"What about you, Erin?"
"I'm fine." Erin massaged her shoulder before continuing. " Though I don't know why my body feels tired like there is a faint feeling that I got beaten up or something." added Erin in confusion.
Little did she know, the numbing pain she felt were traces of the Student Council's flash attacks after Serafall passed out from the kiss.
