We returned from Heaven.

After ascending from the underground transfer room and heading to the living room—

“Oh, it brings back memories, doesn’t it?”

“Right? Iss-chan back then was just—”

My mom was chatting cheerfully with a middle-aged man.

…And he was holding my photo album.

Not that album again!

Don’t dig up my embarrassing past!

…I somewhat recognized the man.

He was a chestnut-haired man dressed in a priest’s robe.

It was hazy, but I definitely remembered him.

And that hair color…

When the man noticed us, he flashed a gentle smile.

“Well, hello there. I’ve been making myself at home.”

As the man spoke, someone darted past me and lunged at him.

“Papa!”

“Oh, my angel! Have you been well?”

The man embraced Irina.

I knew it!

This person is Irina’s father!

I’d met him many times when I used to play with Irina as a child!

Irina happily exchanged hugs with her father.

“Of course! Have you been well, Papa?”

“Of course, I have.”

Mom watched them with a fond smile, then turned to me.

“Iss-chan, do you remember Irina-chan’s father? I was surprised when he suddenly came back. You’ll be working together for the upcoming Christmas project, won’t you?”

Seriously?!

So, the agent Archangel Michael mentioned was Irina’s father?!

As I stood there in surprise, Irina’s father extended a hand to me.

“Hello, Issei-kun. Do you remember me?”

“Yes, vaguely, I think. It’s from when I was little, so…”

“No, no, not at all. You and Irina were both so young back then. It’s perfectly understandable. …However.”

Irina’s father slowly moved his gaze up from my feet, then gave both my shoulders a firm pat.

He smiled.

“To think that boy has grown so strong. Time flies so quickly. I’ve heard about you.”

“—! …So, you know about my past?”

“Yes. I’ve heard from Lord Michael. And just now, from your mother, too.”

Oh, so Irina’s father also knows I went to another world.

Well, since all the major powers know, there’s no point in hiding it anymore.

If he knows about our circumstances, it’ll be easier to introduce him to Miu and the others.

Archangel Michael probably considered that when he told him about me.

Mom asked Irina’s father, “Is Irina-chan’s mother in England now?”

“Yes. She runs a small Japanese restaurant in England. Like me, she also knows that our daughter has been reincarnated as an angel.”

So both her parents know about Irina becoming an angel.

My parents know about devils, so it’s pretty similar.

Irina’s father grinned and said, “Now, there’s work to discuss, but let’s save that for later. I’ve brought you all souvenirs.”

Souvenirs…?

From England, I wonder?

“Irina-chan’s father, please stay for dinner too, won’t you? It’ll be ready soon.”

“Oh, that would be wonderful.”

After that, we ended up having dinner together…

During the meal, Irina’s father boasted about his daughter, and Irina herself endured it with a bright red face.

Well, for me, it was interesting to hear about Irina’s life after she went to England.

“Honestly! Papa, why do you have to talk about my embarrassing past?!”

“Hahaha, my apologies, my apologies. Papa only wanted to talk about how cute Irina-chan is, but I just… I just couldn’t help myself!”

Irina pouted, cheeks puffed out in exasperation.

I chuckled and said, “No, no, it was quite interesting, you know? To think Irina would—”

“Issei-kun, you too, don’t say it!!!”

Irina screamed, covering her face with her hands.

Yep, this side of Irina is definitely cute.

“Oh, looks like you’re back from Heaven.”

Azazel-sensei appeared from the transfer magic circle.

“You’re Irina’s father, huh? I’m Azazel.”

“Ah, the former Governor-General, a pleasure to meet you. I am Touji Shidou, a Protestant pastor and agent. Irina is always in your care…”

The two shook hands.

From Irina’s father’s perspective, Sensei is the former Governor-General of the Fallen Angel organization Grigori, and also a teacher at his daughter’s school.

With Sensei now present, we moved to the VIP room to discuss the project.

“Now then, allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Touji Shidou, the proposer of the Christmas project. I serve as a pastor for the Protestant faction.”

“Papa used to be a Church Warrior back in the day,” Irina added.

A Church Warrior? So he was an Exorcist, then.

Irina’s father—Touji-san—also used to fight.

“With that said, let’s just confirm the reasons for this proposal and the finer details, and then prepare for the day itself.”

From there, Touji-san explained the background leading to the proposal and important points about the project.

The content was mostly a review of what we already knew, so there wasn’t anything particularly new.

What did surprise me during this explanation was that Touji-san held quite a significant position as the Director of the Protestant faction.

In other words, Irina’s father was an important figure in the Church!

After we finished the Christmas project meeting,

“Oh, right, I had souvenirs!”

Saying that, Touji-san rummaged through his bag.

What he pulled out was a doorknob.

…Why a doorknob?

A doorknob for a souvenir?

As everyone tilted their heads and stared, Touji-san began replacing the doorknob on the VIP room door.

“Please attach this to any door you like. Like so, you remove the existing doorknob, attach this one, and then open it—”

What lay beyond the opened door was—an unfamiliar, spacious room.

We opened it from the inside, but we didn’t step into a hallway… could this doorknob connect to a different space?

The room was vast, much larger than my remodeled room.

Angel statues, paintings of saints, and other auspicious-looking decorations adorned the entire room.

The most prominent feature was a large canopy bed in the center of the room.

It was clearly much bigger than the one in my room.

Other than that, the room contained only a chair, a table, and a clock.

However, ever since entering the room, I couldn’t shake a strange sensation.

It was similar to an angel’s divine power, yet… subtly different…

As we looked around the room with puzzled expressions, Touji-san spoke.

“This room was specially created so that angels and devils can conceive children without any problems. This doorknob connects to a dedicated alternate dimension.”

“—!?”

Everyone was astonished by his words!

Because he said this room was designed for devils and angels to “make babies”!

So the souvenir was this “baby-making room”?!

Touji-san put an arm around his daughter’s shoulder and declared with conviction!

“Irina-chan, feel free to nurture your love with Issei-kun in this room!”

“Eh… EEEEEEEEEEEH!?”

“W-What the hell!?”

Following Irina, I ended up shouting too!

Me?!

Is this room exclusively for Irina and me?!

Leaving us flabbergasted, Touji-san began speaking, tears streaming down his face.

“…Sniff, when Irina-chan became an angel, I had given up on ever seeing my grandchild’s face…! I was about to abandon my dream, believing it was for the sake of faith…!

However, thanks to the Archangel Michael-sama’s profound compassion, I’ve been given the opportunity to see my grandchild’s face…! How many times have I shed tears of joy! Ah, this must be the Lord’s divine protection! Amen!”

Assuming a prayer pose, Touji-san relayed Archangel Michael’s supposed benevolent words.

“Angel Irina, Hyoudou Issei-kun. In this room, whatever you do, there will be no problems whatsoever. Please try various things. You are young men and women, after all; everything is experience and challenge. Perhaps there is such a form of faith.”

“What kind of faith is that!?”

I couldn’t help but retort!

No, I’m not wrong!

Seriously, “whatever you do”… What are you saying, Archangel Michael?!

“Try various things”?! What does that mean?!

Does that mean those kinds of plays and these kinds of plays?!

Oh, now that I think about it, Xenovia mentioned something about this when she and Irina were talking!

That Archangel Michael was considering something for Irina!

And this is the finished product?!

Ahhh… Not just the Underworld, but Heaven, too, has started using its technology in weird ways!

Is it okay to use Heavenly technology for a baby-making room, Archangel Michael?!

The weeping Touji-san placed a hand on my shoulder.

“…Issei-kun… my grandchild… please take care of my grandchild!”

You too, grandchild?!

Why are all the adults around me asking for grandchildren or great-grandchildren?!

It was Gendoul-san the other day, wasn’t it?!

Rias even said she’d practice because she was expected to!

And she actually practiced!

“Uh, um, well…”

“Yes, yes! I’d be happy with either a boy or a girl! No, actually, please work hard at making many children and show me both kinds of grandchildren! A girl would surely be adorable, just like Irina-chan… Since it’s an angel’s child, would it be a super angel? And a boy would be brave, like Issei-kun, a dragon hero… Oh, my heart is already swelling with anticipation!”

…It’s no use; this person doesn’t listen!

So Irina’s habit was inherited from her father!

She got his bad traits through genetics!

In response to this, Irina herself was—

“…Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid! Papa is stupid! Archangel Michael-sama! Why would you give this to Papa?! I can’t take it anymore! Issei-kun is going to hate me!”

She was cowering in the corner of the VIP room out of sheer embarrassment!

Right?!

When your own father brings something like this and talks about grandchildren, you’d react that way!

I was embarrassed too when my own father and mother told me to show them grandchildren with Miu!

“With this, Irina-san can also do it, huh? Hmm… If Irina-san can, then… Asia-san and Xenovia-san too…”

“Don’t tell me… all four of them… Oh, but Issei has already had experience, hasn’t he?”

Miu and Alice were saying something!

Are they saying I should embrace the entire Church Trio?!

“Let’s borrow it next time, Asia.”

“I-It’s a room for making resolutions, isn’t it!”

Xenovia and Asia were fired up!

“…Hmm, the atmosphere of that ‘Resting Room’ was good too, but this place is also…”

“Y-Yes, you’re right…”

“Oh, I’m thinking such lewd thoughts…! Ah, but I’ve already… with Issei-kun…”

Rias, Reyna, and Ravel were reminiscing about the “Resting Room” at the office!

It’s certainly similar to that room!

Once you enter, you know what you’re going to do!

“This is a room I wouldn’t want to reveal to my sister.”

“If you were dragged in, you might not be released until Issei-sama is drained dry… No, perhaps Issei-sama might not release them…?”

“Ah, is that Issei-kun in his sadistic mode? In that case, Kuroka-san might not be able to stand. Issei-kun was an S back then.”

“Ah—I know. And Issei doesn’t stop once he goes wild.”

Koneko-chan and Ravel’s conversation was joined by Reyna and Alice!

So sadistic mode me is an S?!

Sorry about that time, getting carried away!

Sorry for making your legs weak!

“…I see… So this is how it is. If Rias and Rossweisse-san have also joined… then it’s almost my turn.”

Akeno had a look of resolve on her face.

What do you mean, “almost my turn”?!

“…Hmm, it’s good that I can ‘dock’ with Irina-chan now, but… somehow…”

Ignis, who had materialized without me noticing, put a hand to her chin, lost in thought.

W-What is she thinking…?

That serious expression is the one she makes when she’s thinking about something erotic…

Something utterly outrageous…

And seriously, can you stop using the word “docking”?!

I’m not a transforming robot!

Azazel-sensei put an arm around my shoulder, looking incredibly lecherous, as I feared Ignis.

“You did it, Issei! It’s not every day a devil or a dragon can embrace an angel without them falling! Man, you smooth talker!”

“Uh… y-you might be right, but…”

“Hm? Is there something you’re dissatisfied with?”

“No… it’s not that… I’m worried I might be drained dry… And there’s also the ‘Resting Room’ at the office…”

“That’s where grit and guts come in.”

“Will that really be enough?!”

“You can do it!”

He says that like it’s someone else’s problem!

This final boss of a teacher!

If this room is added to the “Resting Room,” I’ll seriously be drained dry!

How much more will I be squeezed?!

“Now, don’t worry. If you were to die, we’d be in trouble too. I’ll give you some assistance.”

“Assistance…?”

“Yep. I’ll prepare some special Grigori-developed stamina boosters and aphrodisiacs for you to try. They’re incredibly effective, you know?”

W-What kind of stuff are they developing?!

Seriously, these people never use their technology for serious purposes!

But…

“Can… can you give me a whole box of that?”
