There are seven people, seven! Although I’m extremely happy, I only have one body! All of a sudden, the words that jii-chan spoke reverberated in my mind. —Ise! A harem! You must realise your harem! When you meet a cute girl, propose to her! If you get proposed to by a cute girl, you must not hesitate to accept her! Dear jii-chan in Paradise—. I will try my best to become a Harem King, so please stay there and watch over meeee! Kannon Bodhisvatta is also known as ‘Guanyin’, the Goddess of Mercy in Buddhism.

A few days had passed since the battle between Rias’ team and Vali’s team, as well as the battle against Thanatos’ group—. All members of our [Sekiryuutei of Blazing Truth] team gathered in the VIP room of the Hyoudou residence prior to our game against the [Leisure of the Kings] team. It was because we were receiving an important guest. —It was the current governor of the Grigori, Shemhazai-san. Azazel-sensei had handed over certain items to Shemhazai-san before he went into the Isolation Barrier Field, and Shemhazai-san had brought those items over to us this today! Shemhazai-san created a Fallen Angels’ transportation magic circle on the table, and then took out several briefcases from it. “It took a lot of time to collect these things, and these are the results of Sirzechs Lucifer-sama, Michael-sama and Azazel’s back and forth travels between the various factions.”
Shemhazai-san opened the first briefcase. —A single longsword was kept inside it. It was a holy sword that quietly released a holy aura. However, it didn’t have the chill of a normal holy sword that only Devils would usually feel. Rather, that aura…it felt very familiar to me! When I moved my eyes to my left arm, Shemhazai-san smiled. “Yes, this sword is the newest holy sword that has been crafted through various techniques by the Three Factions after peace was achieved — Ascalon II.”
—Ascalon II!? The second generation of Ascalon! To think that something like this had been prepared…. The holy sword that His Eminence Strada wielded was Durandal II, and I couldn’t help but feel that the alchemists of the Church had somehow greatly improved their skills after learning various techniques from the other factions! It must have set off quite a technological revolution…. Shemhazai-san gave an explanation to me as he took Ascalon II out
“It’s not so much a holy sword, rather, it’s more like a sword that is perfectly matched to the aura of a dragon…it could be described as a sword designed just for you, Hyoudou Issei-kun. This sword is even more suited to your aura than the original Ascalon.”
I received Ascalon II…. Hmm, it somehow does feel really familiar in my hand! It feels even more natural than the first-generation Ascalon that’s been assimilated into my left hand. It had almost instantly synchronised with my aura. Ddraig said
[Partner, let’s keep it in your empty right arm.] After all, my left arm already had one. But even so, to give me a sword even when I’ve got absolutely no talent for swords…. I guess it’s best if I keep it in my gauntlet like the first-generation one, and use it in a close-quarters melee battle when the time is right. The armoured gauntlet of the Boosted Gear Scale Mail appeared on my right hand, and I held Ascalon II with it. With Ddraig’s assistance, I focused — and a red flash was emitted. After the light faded, Ascalon II disappeared from my hand. I clenched my fist — and just like the first-generation Ascalon, the holy blade extended out from my gauntlet. Whilst practicing the action a few times, I said to Shemhazai-san
“I don’t feel like I can become proficient in dual-wielding swords like Kiba, Xenovia and the others.”
Even though I now had a holy sword in both my left and right gauntlets, and I could use both of them at the same time, I didn’t feel that I would be able to wield two holy swords dexterously. Shemhazai-san replied
“But, if you have a holy sword stored in each arm, you may be able to respond well to an unexpected situation. For example, if you left hand is somehow constricted.”
That made sense. As the saying goes, you can never be too prepared. Shemhazai-san then opened up the next briefcase. There was an old-looking wand inside it. Going only by the appearance, it looked rather powerful…. Upon seeing the wand, Rossweisse-san let out a breath of disbelief. She ran up the briefcase and stared at the wand. Shemhazai-san took the wand out and handed it over to Rossweisse-san. “This is a Mistilteinn wand.”
“I-It really is that one! I’ve seen it back in my hometown!”
Seeing my apparent puzzlement, Ravel explained
“The Mistilteinn wand is a magical weapon which possesses powerful magic in Asgard.”
A magic weapon of Asgard! It also possesses immense magic, so it could be described as a weapon that has been tailor-made for Rossweisse-san. Shemhazai-san said
“During the Evil Dragon War, it was said that a new Mistilteinn wand would be created for [DxD], and it was finally completed after the war. Although it couldn’t be made in time for that battle…it will be able to assist with Rossweisse-san’s magic output now.”
As for the person in question, Rossweisse-san was holding the Mistilteinn wand rather timidly. “…If it’s just a matter of assistance, isn’t this more than enough? …Isn’t this a weapon that only god-class beings possess…?”
I-It’s actually such an awesome weapon!? A god-class being’s weapon…. It is certainly true that a lot of incredible things occurred in succession during the Evil Dragon War, so the Norse mythology couldn’t help but produce such a weapon in order to deal with the situation at hand. Shemhazai-san then opened the third briefcase…a scabbard lay inside it. …I could feel a holy aura emanating from it. Could this be the scabbard of a holy sword? Although it was my first time seeing it, it somehow felt familiar, and the way that it was decorated…. Wait, this aura, I’ve felt this before! Everyone looked carefully at the scabbard, and aside from me—
“…Eh? Really?”
“…No way, it shouldn’t be possible…”
“…But, judging by the aura, it can only be…”
Irina, Xenovia and Rossweisse-san all showed expressions of surprise, and they seemed to be doubting their own eyes. Shemhazai-san quietly laughed after watching everyone’s reactions. “Fufufu, we’ve constantly had our eyes on it. Correct, this is an item for Xenovia Quarta-san. —Excalibur’s scabbard.”
[It really is! Amazing!] Everyone aside from me exclaimed in surprise after hearing what Shemhazai-san said. “…Is Excalibur’s scabbard supposed to be amazing?”
Upon hearing my innocuous question, Ravel brought her face closer as she answered me with a tone of excitement
“I-Ise-sama!
