The smiling picture of a crimson haired beauty looks like that of an idol! Then from the end of the corridor, a familiar person comes while bringing 10 people with him. “Sairaorg. So you were here too.”
Yes, the one who Buchou talked to is the next heir of the House of Bael, Sairaorg-san. He has the noble jacket rested on his shoulder, and he looks wild like always. Even from a novices' eyes, he has no openings. So he’s always ready for action huh? The blonde woman with a ponytail who is right behind him is his Queen. She sure is beautiful. “Rias. Are you also getting interviewed?”
“Yes. Have you already finished Sairaorg?”
“I will be getting interviewed now. Most likely a different studio from you guys. –I saw your match.”
Buchou raises her eyebrows a bit. “No matter how much power you have, you will lose if you get trapped. They will aim for the slight opening with full power. Above all, there are many unknowns in a Sacred Gear. We won’t know what will happen, and what it can do. Compatibility is also important in the Game. I have learnt many things from the match between you and Sona Sitri. –However…..”
Sairaorg-san then pats on my shoulders. “I desire to fight you with only pure power.”
~! Sairaorg-san left after saying that. …..My shoulder which was lightly patted. He only did that, but it feels very heavy. Do I have some expectations from the number 1 youth? Man, it makes me nervous! After the greeting with Sairaorg-san we went to the dressing room, and we left our bags in there. Azazel-sensei didn’t come with us because he would be appearing on a different programme. Irina is staying back at home. Today, it’s just for us, the Gremory group. After that we were taken to what seems like a studio, and we went inside. They are still preparing, and the staff are still doing work. The interviewer lady who was here before us comes to greet Buchou. “Hello, it is my first time meeting you. I am the announcer of Underworld broadcast studio 1.”
“Same goes to you. Hello.”
Buchou also responds with a smile, and shakes her hand. “I’m sorry all of a sudden, but for the interview……”
Buchou, the staff, and the announcer lady started the discussion about the interview. There are also many seats for the viewers inside the studio! Waa…… So it would be broadcasted while having people look at us live…..
Crap. I started to get quite nervous! Even if Buchou is the main, we will also be standing there for the actual thing……. “…….I….I…I….I….I-I…..I want to go hooooome……!”
Gasper, who is trembling behind me. It must be cruel to have a hikikomori appear on television. But I’m also nervous. Gasper, endure. “There will also be questions asked for the other group members, but please don’t be too nervous about it.”
The staff says it to us. “Ummm, is Kiba Yuuto-san and Himejima Akeno-san here?”
“Ah, that would be me. I’m Kiba Yuuto.”
“And I am Himejima Akeno.”
Kiba and Akeno-san raise their hands. “I think there would be quite a number of questions asked for you two for the interview. Both of you are increasing in popularity.”
“Are you serious!”
When I make a sound of shock, the staff nods. “Yes. Kiba-san is getting more female fans, while Akeno-san is getting more male fans.”
Oh. He’s handsome and she’s beautiful after all. Then it won’t be weird if they are popular. I see. Since the match against the Sitri was broadcasted throughout the Underworld, Kiba and Akeno-san’s popularity raised. Damn you, Kiba! Akeno-san…….I kind of feel complicated. She is my other Onee-sama…… I didn’t know whether I should be happy or not, and Akeno-san then smiles at me. “You don’t have to worry. I only have my eyes for Ise-kun. So I won’t go to another person.”
She then holds my hands gently! Uoooooo! Akeno-san! She sure is an Onee-sama who thinks deeply of her fellow group member! Huh! I then felt a sharp gaze! When I look around…..Buchou is glaring at me and Akeno-san! My master sure has a strict check on her servants! “And who is the other person, Hyoudou Issei-san?”
“Ah, that would be me.”
I’m also popular!? I’m a bit……No, I feel really excited! But the staff puts on a question mark above his head. “…….Ummm, you are……?”
Seems like she doesn’t know me! Eeeeeeeeh!? “Um, I am the [Pawn], Hyoudou Issei. I’m also the Sekiryuutei as well……”
When I said that, the staff realises it. “Ah! You are! Your armoured form had a strong impression, so I couldn’t tell Hyoudou-san in a normal state.”
Certainly! In the match, I was in the armour form for quite a time! It was a Blitz. So it might be obvious if the impression of me in my normal state is weak. “Hyoudou-san will also have an interview in a different studio. You are famous as being the “Chichiryuutei.”
“Chichiryuutei! ?”
What is that!? I became shocked at the unknown nickname I was given! The staff then continues lively. “You have become very popular amongst children. It seems like you are called “Oppai Dragon” amongst children. You screamed out “Oppai” in the match against Sitri correct? That was broadcast during snack time in the Underworld. And it became very popular among the children who saw that.”
Are you serious! I’m a hot topic amongst the brats in the Underworld!? I can’t understand it! But an Oppai-dragon….. Ah, I think I did keep on saying Oppai….. It seems like children get attracted to those simple things. Looks like what grasps the children’s attention is the same both in the Underworld and human world. [U-Uoooooooon…..!] Suddenly Ddraig started crying inside me. Hey hey hey. What happened? [I, who was called a Heavenly Dragon….. I, who has been feared as the Sekiryuutei…..]
He’s crying seriously…… Seems like he is really shocked. Hmmmm, well it is Chichiryuutei, and an Oppai-dragon after all……
“Then Hyoudou-san, please follow me to the different studio. I will guide you.”
I received a personal script from the staff, and I started cheering Ddraig up while I was heading towards the different studio. So what will be waiting for me huh? “Man, I was nervous.”
After the recording, we started relaxing in the dressing room. It’s obvious that everyone was nervous as well. So they started relaxing by leaning on the wall or dropping dead on the table as soon as we entered the room. The programme was a collection of questions towards Buchou from the beginning to the end. How was the match against Sitri? What will you do from now? Is there any youth devil you have your attention on? Such questions like that. Buchou answered with a smile normally, and she didn’t forget to behave with elegance. Her family might also watch it, so she can’t show anything shameful. Buchou showed us and the visitors an awesome interview as the next heiress of the Gremory! Then when the questions moved onto Kiba after that, there were cries of the female fans. His popularity among the female audience was the real deal. Even during Akeno-san’s turn, male fans were shouting “Akeno-sama!”. And when it was my turn, the kids were yelling “Oppai dragon!” and “Chichiryuutei!”.
