Unleashing your power alone will contribute to your ratings. Rias, this will be one of the crucial moments for you.”
Raiser was discussing seriously. I thought he came to taunt us or something, but it was the opposite. As a pro, and as a person who has experience, he talked to us. Having Raiser say that, Buchou…….narrows her eyes. “…….I’m not as good at making tactics as Sona, and I don’t have power like Sairaorg. Though, I know I’m blessed with my servants. That’s why I’m irritated at myself who cannot lead these children appropriately……..”
Buchou declares. …….Buchou, you have been thinking something like that? That’s right, Buchou is also a girl. Even though she acted firm, she must have been facing forward to the game with anxiety. Hearing Buchou’s words, Raiser says it. “You can improve your strategies and power with experience and also by doing something I hate called “Working hard”, with that you can attain some level of power. But you know, Rias. Your fateful encounters---Your talent to draw those with talents is different. I think these guys all gathered here because of your good talent to draw people.”
“But the dragon, --I think it’s also because of Ise who is the Sekiryuutei that also has to do with it.”
“It was your fate to meet the Sekiryuutei. The special something you have made you meet with the Sekiryuutei. That’s why you met him. Even if the trait of the dragon drew the other ones after that, you were the one who met Sekiryuutei and made him your servant.”
Raiser said it to Buchou straight. “Have confidence Rias. These guys are your treasures.”
--! Raiser……. You said something good! Even I was moved! So he wasn’t just a good-looking bad-boy type! Maybe Raiser became embarrassed at what he just said, so he continues while scratching his cheek. “I, who am a pro will guarantee it. You guys are already at a pro-level. Rather, you have enough talented members for you to go in the top-ranks. Even if you guys were to fight my group again, it seems like we will lose badly. Well, that goes the same for the Bael-group. They are also strong. Man, why are the young ones of this generation filled with exceptional ones.”
Saying that, he got up from the chair and started to leave. “Rias, I will be rooting for you. –Win.”
With Raiser’s encouragement, Buchou nods with a bright expression. “Yes, of course.”
Buchou, it seems like you got rid of another weight again. It seems like a [King] has to shoulder many things and also has to be troubled by it……
They need to shoulder the fate of all their servants and lead them to the path…. So that’s what it means to be a High-class devil huh……. “Sekiryuutei.”
Raiser calls me. Raiser makes a grip with his fist, and directed at me. “Your fist….. It’s a strike I can never forget. That punch is a strike you can use to aim to the top with. –Come up here quickly, to the same stage as I am. If it’s you, then you can do it right? Let’s have a rematch there. I will teach you the horror of the professionals in the world of pro’s.”
“…..Y-Yes! Of course! I will definitely fight you again, and beat you in the official game!”
This is my true feeling. I want to have a rematch with Raiser in the game properly and beat him! Raiser then looks at his sister Ravel. “Also I leave Ravel to you. She’s as spoiled as Rias. Even so she’s earnest. I will burn you if you make her cry, okay?”
“I-It’s none of your business!”
Ravel responds with a red face. Confirming that, Raiser laughs at himself saying “I sure have become senile” and leaves the room. Raiser…… He came all the way here to encourage us……
Thank you very much. Thanks to that, we can go forward with the game with even higher spirits. I thank him inside myself….but the door opens again, and Raiser appears once more. “That’s right, I forgot to tell you. Sekiryuutei, I was asked by Sirzechs-sama to call you before. He asked you to show up in the VIP room. It seems he wants to show you something.”
…….Sirzechs-sama does? I tilted my head, and headed towards the VIP room by myself. So like that, I entered the VIP room where Sirzechs-sama should be. It’s a room which has lots of expensive looking household furniture. It’s spacious and gorgeous. “I’m sorry Ise-kun. To call you before the match.”
Sirzechs-sama welcomes me cheerfully. “It’s okay. So what is this thing you wanted to show me?”
“Yes, it’s something good that your passionate fans sent you. I wanted to show it to you very much.”
Sirzechs-sama picked up a circular looking thing from the table, and put it inside what seems like a video machine for the television. “Disk? Is it a video or something?”
When I asked, Sirzechs-sama nods while turning on the monitor. “Yes, it’s a video letter.”
What appeared on the monitor was a boy holding onto a toy of me when I’m in Balance-Breaker state. It’s a homemade video. The boy speaks bravely towards the camera. [Oppai dragon, hello~. I like Oppai-dragon very much~. I can also sing the song as well~. I can’t go to the dome for the match, but I will cheer-cheer for you from my house~. That’s why please win the game~.] -! This is a video letter……
The video changed, and this time two siblings dancing around in a circle showed up. [Oppai-Dragon~! Win, okay~! Zoom Zoom Iyaan~!] [Ohyai~!] This time it’s a video of a child with his parents. He has a toy of me and the Switch-Princess in his hands. [I will be cheering for the Oppai-Dragon and the Switch-Princess. I won’t be able to go there, but I will be cheering for you all the time.] …………A video letter of support from the children to me. They kept on changing, and many children have sent me lots of video messages. I had something coming out from my eyes. There are…..this many children are thinking about me……. “Today, the match will be broadcast live throughout the whole Underworld. Many children…..will be watching you through the television.”
Sirzechs-sama brings a box which was kept at the end of the room, and he opens the box and passes a letter. ……It’s a fan-letter written in poor devil-letters from the children to me. On each of them there were poor drawings of me but you can tell they tried hard to draw me. …….Each of the drawings have passion in them, and they were the one of a kind type of fan-letter in this world. While my hands were shaking with happiness, Sirzechs-sama says it to me. “These children……are the future of the Underworld. For today’s match, there will be parts where the politics of adults will get involved. –But all of you don’t have to worry about those kinds of things. That’s why I want a favour from you, Ise-kun. When all of you will be fighting for your dream, even a tiny bit is okay, but can you please fight for these children as well? I know it’s a selfish wish. Even so, I ask you. I want you to protect the dreams of these children.”
-Protecting the dreams of these children. That’s right. Today’s game also has to do with that as well. “I know that very well. I’m Oppai-Dragon after all.”
I’m Hyoudou Issei. The current Sekiryuutei.
