I’m also the Chichiryuutei, and the Oppai-Dragon. So I will be fighting while carrying the dreams of many people, huh. I need to take this match with a different feeling to that of the time when I had the Raiser-match and Sitri-match. For myself, for Buchou, for my comrades, and for the children supporting me…..
Let’s go, Ddraig. There are many things we have to accomplish, but the things we need to accomplish are simple. [Yeah, I know that, Partner.] I will conquer this game, and give answers to everything! With the game approaching, we were waiting for the time to gather in the corridor, which is connected to the entrance of the Dome stadium. We can feel the heat and the brightness of the stadium from across the gate. At the same time we can hear the sound of the crowd. Our battle costumes are the Kuou Academy uniforms like always. But they are different from our usual uniforms. They are specially-made uniforms for this game. They're made with a higher resistance to heat, cold, bullets, magic defence, and such where the defence against many things has been improved. Well, it’s not that they have an insane defence to them, but they're still much better uniforms than the usual ones. Xenovia is wearing her usual battle costume. Though it’s made from the same material as our uniforms. Rossweisse-san is in her armoured form. Apparently, she feels more relaxed in it. Asia is also wearing her nun costume. It’s Asia’s battle clothes after all. This one also has enhanced defence. While each of us stayed on standby doing something to stay relaxed, Buchou speaks with seriousness in her words. “…….Everyone, the match which is about to begin isn’t a real fight. It’s a Rating Game, but it has the same serious atmosphere as that of an actual battle. It will be a fight where people will be watching over us, but be careful you don’t get pushed back by it.”
[Now, the battle of the century is about to begin! From the east gate, it’s Sairaorg Bael’s team!] “ “ “ “ “ “ “Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! !” ” ” ” ” ” ”
Cheers and shouts of joy could be heard even in here. The Dome shook heavily at the entrance of the Bael group. “…….I’m getting nervouuuuuus~!”
“…….It’s okay, it is said that you will feel better if you think everyone is a pumpkin.”
That conversation is between the nervous Gasper and the calm Koneko-chan. It’s like their usual conversation. “Xenovia-san, is it true that Irina-san will be doing cheerleading from the Gremory-supporting side?”
“Yeah, Asia. That seems like it. She said she will be taking the role of an “Onee-san” from the Oppai Dragon’s fan supporting area.”
I heard the conversation between Asia and Xenovia. …..I see, so Irina would be doing that kind of role today huh. Ravel said that she was able to get a seat in the Oppai Dragon’s fan area as well, so those two must be together then. [And finally from the west gate, it’s Rias Gremory’s team!] -! We were finally announced. “ “ “ “ “ “ “Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! !” ” ” ” ” ” ”
The crowd is already heated up. ……I’m getting nervous! My heart is beating fast. Everyone else also changed their attitude and they have a serious expression. Buchou then says it while looking around all of us. “Thank you for following me till this far. –Now, let’s go, my servants. Let’s win!”
“ “ “ “ “ “ “ “Yes!” ” ” ” ” ” ” ”
We replied back to her. And we finally went through the gate--. Being under the cheers, what we witnessed in front of us is…..a floating land which is floating above the spacious circular stadium. ……Actually I should say that there are giant rocks floating above the spacious field. On one of the rocks floating above the field, the Bael group was already there. [Now, will the Gremory group also please go to their base.] The announcer says. Our base is on top of that…..? What’s connected to the rock base is a long snake-like stair case. We also walked up the stairs just like the Bael group did, and we arrived on top of the base. I can see the Bael group from afar. ……..Don’t tell me it’s going to be a sky battle where we'll be using this whole field? Maybe something like jumping across the rocks randomly, and the first one to destroy the base wins or something? On the base, there are chairs with the same number of people as our group, and a mysterious stand. And the only other thing left is something that looks like a transfer-type magic circle located one storey higher than our base. When I looked, the opponent’s base looked the same. Even when I looked down, what appears as a marathon-type track field. ……. I’m sure we aren’t going down there to have a battle by doing a marathon though…..
Hmm, I wonder what kind of game it will turn out to be this time. I was thinking like that by tilting my head, and then I heard the announcer. A super-flashy man who is wearing a microphone on his ears appears on the giant monitor positioned on the stadium! [Hello, everyone! The broadcaster for this match will be I, Naud Gamigin from the house of Gamigin of the former 72 Pillars, who will be broadcasting to you!] The stadium gets filled with cheers! So it comes with a broadcaster! Amazing! So this is a professional-style game? [The arbiter for this game will be Rudiger Rosenkreutz!] A magic circle appears on the air. A good-looking guy with long silver-hair, dressed in full uniform appears from the magic circle! Mainly the women make huge cheers at his appearance! “……….Rudiger Rosenkreutz. He is a reincarnated devil who was a former human, and an Ultimate-class devil. On top of that, his ranking is 7th……”
Koneko-chan mutters. -! A former human reincarnated devil! Even though he’s a reincarnated devil, he’s an Ultimate-class devil, and on top of that he is a current top game ranker! And he’s in a single-digit rank of 7th! For him to be an Ultimate-class devil when he reincarnated from a human and he is also a top ranker! As someone who is aiming to go to the top, I admire him! Wait, so someone like that is going to be arbiter, just how showy is this match going to be!? “But it isn’t Grayfia-san, huh.”
I muttered. In the games we have participated in so far, Grayfia-san has been the arbiter until now! “There is no way that the house of the Great King will approve it. Grayfia-sama is from the Gremory side after all.”
Akeno-san says that plainly. …….If you talk about it, that’s true. Grayfia-san is Sirzechs-sama’s [Queen]. For the Great King faction who takes importance in ranks, she would only be a nuisance to them. There is no way that Grayfia-san would do something unfair to the match, but it sounds like the higher-ups of the Great King faction would use that. [And our special guest! We have the Governor of the Fallen angels, Azazel-sama, as a commentator today! Hello there, Governor Azazel!] -Then a man who we are familiar with appears on screen. …………..
We became dumbfounded and gazed at him. That man…..Sensei, introduces himself by making a smile. [Well, hello there. I’m Azazel.
