If we continue to train, we will be in bad shape tomorrow in front of the reporters.”
………Pr…Press conference….? I opened my eyes wide upon hearing that. ……. A press conference you say……
I made a dumb face while Buchou adds additional information. “Ara. Didn’t I tell you? It was decided that our group and Sairaorg’s group will have the press-conference together. It will be broadcast on television so don’t put on a weird face, okay?”
“Eh…eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh! ?”
I became shocked at this information I heard for the first time. So just like that, on the evening of the next day, the place where we went to after finishing all the activities (including school festival) is a high-class restaurant located in the Gremory territory. Currently, we are on standby in the changing room located on the top floor. It was just a spacious room. There is expensive looking furniture, and on top of the table there are fruits and cakes I had never seen before all lined up. Super expensive building! Even the way it is constructed looks expensive! Tonight in the hall of this hotel located on the second floor, there will be a joint press conference of both the Gremory group and Bael group. It’s simple. It will be a heated interview before the game. It will be an interview focusing mainly on Buchou and Sairaorg-san. I….I will also be interviewed as well! Because I’m the Oppai-dragon! W-What am I supposed to say!? I don’t know the topic they will ask me in the interview as well! [Please send a message to all the beauties in the Underworld.] Maybe a reporter might ask me that!? ……..Like hell they would. The ones who will be asked that will be Sairaorg-san and Kiba. Shit! Good-looking guys sure are lucky! At times like this, they can send messages to all the devil women in the Underworld! I was sitting on the sofa while thinking those kind of things! Koneko-chan who is sitting on my lap is calm, and she’s digging into the cakes! Koneko-chan sure has guts even in these kinds of situation! Asia and Rossweisse-san are staying in front of the mirror saying things like “Will this be okay?” or “Does it look good, or it doesn’t?” and are desperate with their make up. Xenovia on the other hand is calm, and she just applied light make-up. Buchou and Akeno-san are fully set. It’s been decided that we will be wearing our usual uniform for the press conference and maybe it’s because they have already put on their make up, but Buchou and Akeno-san look elegant even with their uniform. They truly are beautiful, the Two-Great Onee-sama that is….. Wait, now’s not the time to be fascinated by them! Doing this won’t be able to lessen my nervousness! “Gasper-kun, are you alright with wearing your usual girl uniform?”
“Y-Yes. It feels weird to wear a boy’s uniform for now…… More than that, I don’t want to goooo~! It will be out of place for a hikikomori like me to go to the press conference!”
It seems like Kiba and Gasper are ready. Also, don’t go running into the box now, Gasper. Speaking about Kiba…. Yeah, that’s right, it’s regarding my Triaina-version to transfer the power via cannon…… This morning, I really wanted to try it, so I had Kiba tag along with me but it was really hard! Maybe it’s because the ability appeared as a purpose for attacking, so it might be insanely hard to change the power I blast into the power of transfer. To begin with, it’s a crazy idea to shoot out something besides the demonic-power from the cannon. But, it doesn’t mean there is no possibility. No, I think it will be possible in the future. But, I realised that it’s not something I can master today or tomorrow. So I won’t be able to make it for the game…… If it becomes possible, then I would be able to become useful as a support to my comrades……
Right now, I can’t transfer my power unless I approach them. I do think Ravel’s idea is good though. The truth is, it would be faster for me to transform into Triaina-version [Knight] to get close to my allies and then transfer my power. ……Does it mean it would suit me if it’s an ero-type or attacking-type? [Your main ability is attacking after all. Though there were those which specialised in transferring their power among the past hosts……]
Is that true, Ddraig? How can you fight by transferring the power? [They transferred their power to many things, and also increased the speed of many effects. For example there was one who was a summoning and seirei magic user, so by transferring the power to the seirei and creatures, that person created a way to fight with a variety of battling styles.] Hmm, so there was a senpai like that. That person is an opposite wielder to me since I have no talent in demonic-powers. A wizard-type Sekiryuutei! So there was an era like that huh. Wait, this isn’t the time for that! It’s right before the press conference! The clock is ticking! I probably should check myself for the last time in the mirror then……
That’s what I was thinking, but Koneko-chan isn’t going to move from my lap. Today, she has been walking while pulling my uniform sleeves, and it seems she has been attached to me more than usual……. Koneko-chan then makes her cheeks red probably because she realised I was suspicious of her. “……Today the Yakitori isn’t here so I want to be on Senpai’s lap.”
Akeno-san then smiled hearing that. “Ara ara. Looks likes Koneko-chan thinks Ravel-chan will take Ise-kun away from her.”
Hearing Akeno-san say that, Koneko-chan gets embarrassed. “I-Is that true…..?”
I asked her timidly, and she answers me while putting on an unpleasant face. “………………..Senpai is too kind, so I get troubled many times because of it.”
I’m not really sure but it seems like she was frustrated that I was with Ravel the whole time. She thought she would have me, her senior, taken away by Ravel? Oh my! So I’m being depended on from a junior who is a girl! “I also think Koneko-chan is adorable as well, so don’t be worried.”
I said that, but Koneko-chan still kept an unpleasant face. Ah, but her tail is swirling so is she feeling a bit better now? When Koneko-chan and I were having such a conversation, Buchou who was looking…..
“Yes….. Ise is too kind to anyone. I………. No. It’s nothing.”
…..says that with a low tone. ………………? I became suspicious of Buchou who seems a bit down. Her eyes seem a bit sad as well……..
H-Hmmm, Buchou has been acting weird lately. Did something happen? Then the door of this changing room opened. It’s a member of staff. “Everyone, it’s almost time.”
Looks like the press-conference is about to start! I’m getting nervous! It happened while we were on our way to the interview. We encountered someone who we are familiar with. “Ah. Rias-senpai. Hyoudou. And the rest of the occult research club members.”
It’s Saji! Why is he here? “Saji! What are you doing here?”
When I said that, he shrugged his shoulder. W-What’s with that reaction? “You sure say a harsh thing……. Well, it can’t be helped.
