—However, you might get matched with me in the main tournament, and when that happens, you won’t be able to do anything in that condition, you know? It should be clear in your head now just how weak you were when you defeated Cao Cao in the Demonic Beast Riot.] …To put it simply, like the time when I struggled against strong opponents, if I don’t figure out a lot of ways to fight from now on, I won’t even be able to aim to be the winner. Although I mostly fought against high-ranked enemies… However, it’s certain that I’ve relied too much on Ravel. …If I don’t think more, and Ravel gets defeated in the middle of the match, our team might collapse. The stage we’re about to enter is probably going to be like that. That’s all the more reason for me to study as I might run into Rias’s team in the main stage. As I once again renewed my determination, Vali, who was standing there, held his yakisoba plate in one hand as he said to me. “Hyoudou Issei, as we are both going to the main stage, I guess it’s just the beginning. Of course, I am aiming to be the winner.”
This man! Even though he was holding a yakisoba plate, he still spoke with such rivalry! As I gulped all my juice down at once, I replied to Vali. “I aim to be the winner as well! But I have to settle things with you first. If we get matched…I don’t think there is going to be any stage like ours.”
“Heh, you said it. I want to continue our battle from that time as soon as possible.”
The continuation of that time… It must be about the fight we had a year ago when I was still a second year. Since that time, Vali and I haven’t been able to settle things. With this guy, this time for sure, we would settle things as fellow Heavenly Dragons…
“Wait, it’s not only you who wants to fight against Hyoudou Issei.”
Sairaorg stepped in between us as he said that. “Indeed. I was even made to accompany him stirring the Ocean of Milk. I want to take my revenge on the main stage.”
Cao Cao also came! And even Dulio barged in! “I also want to fight against you one more time in the main stage. And I am sure that with that, the flow of the tournament will be the best.”
“Ise-kun, me too. After having come to this point, I also want to fight against you to my heart’s content.”
Kiba stood beside me as he told me that. If I got matched with Rias’s team, then it would be possible for such a thing to happen. Crom Cruach said to me while eating meat as well. “I want to fight against you and Ddraig head on as well, in order to satisfy myself in this tournament.”
[Yeah, there is nothing better than being able to fight you with my own body and flesh.] Ddraig answered fearlessly as well! There were still many things we didn’t know about the manifestation of Ddraig, and I am sure that there must be dangerous aspects. “If I get matched as well, I also want to try to fight. Against you and Vali, that is.”
Even Ikuse-san said those things! “Ku, I also want to join.”
Saji said it frustratingly, but…Sona-senpai said. “Saji, that means that you just have to train for the next tournament. The life of a Devil is long after all. There is no need to rush.”
Riser looked at me, who was surrounded by a group of men, from afar. “Nu, so I have to declare it to fight against the Sekiryuutei, huh…”
Somehow, it seemed like he took the situation of this place as a joke… I was surrounded by men! And at that time, there were several people who pulled my arms! “Ise is going to be taken by men!”
“He is my darling, you know!”
“Ise-san, please talk to us as well!”
Xenovia, Irina and Asia, the Church Trio, pulled me away from the group of men! As I got pulled, I could feel the softness of oppai in my face ‘Boin Boin’! “Ufufu, so you have returned to my chest, huh, my husband.”
It was Akeno-san! She tried to hug me, but — once again, my arm was pulled as I dived into a pair of well-endowed boobs! “Ise-kun likes my boobs best, nyan.”
This time it was Kuroka! Shirone-chan a.k.a Koneko-chan who was beside her then pulled my hand! “Kuroka-oneesama, I also want to celebrate Ise-kun going to the main stage.”
The sisters pulled me back and forth, but — Ravel stepped in as a mediator! “Shirone! Kuroka-sama! Ise-sama is only one person! We have to share here! Of course, I will also join though!”
While in that situation, the one who hugged me from behind was—. “Ise-kun iwf my hufband! I won’t hand him over to anyone!”
It was a drunk Rossweisse-sannnn! She must have gotten carried away in the party and ended up drinking alcohol! On my back was Rossweisse-san, both of my hands were taken by Koneko-chan and Kuroka, and even the Church Trio and Akeno-san barged in! ““““““He is mine!””””””
Ravel the mediator also said ‘Oh! Please let me in too!’ as she stopped her mediation act! “…Somehow, I feel jealous.”
“…What should I do to get in there?”
Le Fay and Elmenhilde murmured that as they saw this situation. I was finally sent flying by the tug of war of the girls as I arrived at a certain pair of oppai. My face was buried into her chest. My vision was then enveloped with a crimson colour. Red — crimson hair more brilliant than strawberry-blonde. Yes, her beautiful long red hair was the same colour as my armour. The place I arrived at as I was sent flying was — my precious person, Rias Gremory. She then smiled sweetly as she gently hugged me. “Ufufu, as expected, Ise arrived here.”
Rias then said to me. “Ise, congratulations for qualifying for the main stage.”
“Yeah, thank you. Congratulations to you too.”
As we congratulated each other on making it to the main stage, she boldly said. “However, even though you are my most beloved person, and a partner who has sworn about the future, a match is a match. If we get matched—”
“I know. Let’s give our best then! That is how the Gremory peerage is after all.”
She laughed in response to my words, looking satisfied. “As expected of my most beloved person. Ufufu, I love you! I really like you, you know.”
“Me too, Rias. I really love you!”
The guys were also cheering ‘whoo whoo’ as we looked at each other and held each other’s hands saying those words in the middle of the party venue! However, the girls didn’t let that slide off! Asia, Akeno-san, Koneko-chan, Xenovia, Irina, Rossweisse-san and Kuroka then simultaneously said. [Say ‘I love you’ to me as well!] “It’s obvious that I love you guyssss! After all, everyone is my bride!”
In the basement of the Hyoudou residence — I shouted my love!
