I will be killed! I will die if I get hit by that thing! “Go back to the jungle! Damn Gorilla!”
The rally continues. I also went in and somehow hit the ball back. “That’s wrong! Christie’s home land is Japan-Alps!”
“Christie is Japan made!? Are you saying that Japan-Alps is a foreign country! ?”
I said that to Abe-senpai while continuing the rally. I have some confidence now! When I was feeling like that, Goristie opened her mouth wide…. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUN! A blizzard is coming from Goristie’s mouth! Wow, its freezing! So cold! So this is the freezing breath! She really is a monster! FREEZE
Ah, my hand which is holding on the racket froze! My movement has become bad. The opponent starts to gain points. “Ohohohoho! Looks like it is our victory!”
Abe-senpai laughs loudly while putting her hand on her mouth. Ku…… I have no way to beat that ice gorilla monster. So I will turn into the tennis captain’s toy at this rate huh….. T-That might be good, but it feels like Buchou will hold a grudge against me after that….. Lately, Buchou became strict about those sorts of things…. I was having a hard time in the match, and the headless knight approaches me. “Honda, what are you doing?”
Honda separated his armour up in the air, and points at them with his thumb. “Are you telling me to wear the armour?”
Honda puts his thumb up and gives me a sign language where he is saying “That is correct”. “Why? We are enemies you know?”
Honda took out a panel like thing, and writes something with a marker pen. [I’m also mad that the Yuki-onna is a female yeti. Wear it! We will get rid of her!] ---! I couldn’t stop the things coming out from my eyes! Hondaaaaaaaaaa! That’s right! When we were introduced to a harpy and lamia, we will also think that a Yuki-onna would be a beauty as well right!? Yeah, I know how you feel Honda! A monster like that shouldn’t be allowed to exist! “Honda! You and I are just a novice tennis devil and a headless mascot knight! But!”
[Yes, if we combine our powers then we will have the chance to attain victory!] Honda writes down what I’m feeling onto the panel! “Yeah! If it’s us, then we can do it!”
I wore Honda, and stood up on the battlefield again! Shit, it’s hot in here! Maybe because it’s summer, so it is like a super hot hell! But I can get over this with my spirit! “Buchou, I still have my head! There’s nothing to fear when ‘we’ have a head!”
“Y-Yes, you are right…..”
Buchou is pushed back at the pressure I am giving out. “A dragon-knight with a head! It’s burning with something passionate!”
“To be expected from Ise-senpai! He sure does unexpected things, like wearing the armour of Dullahan!”
“…….It looks cool but also uncool.”
Xenovia and Gapser were getting heated up with my appearance, and Koneko-chan is tilting her head. “Let’s teach the ice gorilla how powerful the power of Dullahan with a head growing out from it really is!”
That day, we became ‘one’ and ran through the battlefield together…..
“It is our loss. It can’t be helped, I will participate in your interview.”
Abe-senpai says that while finding it dull. We won! My power while wearing Dullahan was more than we imagined, along with how much anger we had towards the gorilla. “……Honda, it’s not coming off.”
I couldn’t take the armour off. My hand moved by itself and wrote something on a panel. [Sorry. Because of the curse of wearing me, it won’t come off for a while.] “That’s insane! You must be joking! Are you a cursed armour or what!? Tell me about that first!”
I was screaming and Abe-senpai says it to me. “That would be a problem. Because of the agreement for being a mascot, we need to have Honda-kun remain in the tennis-club until Dullahan’s head is cured.”
“So what are you telling me to do about it!”
“Then, how about we have Hyoudou-kun work in that state. Will that be okay, Rias-san?”
“Yes, I don’t mind if it is to help the tennis club. In that state, Kiyome-san won’t be able to do anything with Ise so I can feel safe about it.”
Buchou nods at Abe-senpai’s suggestion. Buchou! You are too cruel! “Uho…..”
I had teary eyes and the ice gorilla was gazing at me with burning eyes. Eh…… What is that reaction…..? “It seems like Christie got her heart taken away by Hyoudou-kun in armour during the match just now.”
Abe-senpai says something impossible! Uooooooo! That’s absurd! So you are telling me that our strong will brought victory to us along with a tragedy!? “Uhoho!”
Goristie approaches me while having her eyes in the shape of a heart! I felt danger so I ran! Honda seemed like he felt the same way as me, so we ran very fast! But Goristie followed us with threatening speed by knuckle-walking! Fuck off! Why are you also that fast, damn ice gorillaaaaa! “Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! I don’t want a gorilla to fall for meeeeeeeeeeee!”
Like this, I became a mascot of the tennis club for a while, and worked along with Goristie. It was a living hell because Goristie’s gaze was hot and the inside of Honda was also hot! During that time, Buchou completed her report safely. That is good. Though for me, it was a summer in which I had the worst experience of my life…………. Greetings, everyone. The school has just entered the summer holiday! I feel like enjoying this long holiday. I feel that way, but I have my head held down because of the scene in front of me. “Iche, carry me.”
The crimson haired little girl asks me to lift her up. “Uu, carry me….”
Next to her, a blonde little girl is crying. Little girls resembling Buchou and Asia are in front of me, and Buchou and Asia themselves aren’t anywhere in the house! When I woke up this morning, both of them were gone and I was having trouble because instead there are two little girls….. But, these girls, I know it’s insane but are they….. When I was being suspicious of this situation…. KNOCK KNOCK
Someone was knocking on the door. “Ise-kun, Rias, Asia-chan, it’s morning you know?”
The one who enters my room is Akeno-san. “Ara-ara…… so many children.”
That was Akeno-san’s response after seeing this scene. “U-Umm, Akeno-san, I really don’t understand……”
I am getting my cheeks pulled and having my hair messed up by the two little girls. Akeno-san puts her hand on her cheek and begins thinking for a while, and then she says with a smile,
“It’s summer holiday, but let’s call all the club members to this house.”
Like this, it was decided to have an emergency meeting of the Occult Research Club. With Vice President Akeno-san’s single call, the Occult Research Club members gathered in the living room of my house. Everyone is looking at the children with weird expressions. The girl who looks like Asia is hiding behind me, and the girl who looks like Buchou is sitting on my lap. It seems like they have become attached to me. “But, they sure do look like Buchou and Asia.”
Xenovia looks at the two little girls while tilting her head. “More like, I think they are Buchou and Asia-san.”
Kiba says. “Are you serious, Kiba?
