But ten minutes into the game, Yuuto told me to watch the game.”
Rias had immediately understood that an anomaly had occurred in the game, and she called us over as well. It was possible that there would be people acquainted with Rias in the VIP spectator room, and so began to make our way over there. It was just when we found a staff member and were about to ask about which VIPs had come to this stadium. —Hmm! A sudden wave of inexplicable pressure hit us! I felt a heavy pressure within my chest for a moment! There was an eerie aura that I had never sensed before. All of us turned around to look across. —Appearing there was the young lady with jade-coloured hair and the young man with copper hair who had appeared just then in the game. From those two people…I could feel an aura that seemed abnormal and bottomless. Cold beads of sweat began to form on my experienced comrades’ skin as they gulped in the face of this immediate pressure alongside me. They approached us. The girl with jade-coloured hair stepped lightly as she moved towards us, and she revealed an innocent smile. “It’s nice to meet you, [Welsh Dragon]-san, [Vanishing Dragon]-san, and all of you other strong people. —My name isVerrine.”
The girl who identified herself as Verrine pointed to the young man behind her. “The one over there — he’s calledBalberith.”
…The youth directed his gaze towards us, and a fear that invaded both our minds and our bodies crept along…! What’s going on with that guy’s aura…! H-How is it possible to have such an endlessly deep, strong, and inexplicable aura…!? I thought that I was the only one who felt like this, so I glanced at Vali who stood beside me — beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead as well! That Vali is actually feeling pressure from this man named Balberith! The battle maniac who would normally show a fearless smile and fight with joy no matter how strong his opponent was, was actually…! Upon seeing us like this, Verrine seemed to find it amusing, and she couldn’t help but let out a laugh as she said rather naturally
“Ufufu ♪ Balberith and I—. We seem to be what you’d call [Super Devils].”
[—!?!?] Everyone was shocked! This was a natural response! They suddenly called themselves Super Devils! However, combining the outcome of the game just then and the pressure that we could feel in front of ourselves, all of that emphasised the authenticity of her words! I had seen Rizevim and Sirzechs-sama when he got serious in the past. My comrades beside me had also witnessed Rizevim, and during the Demonic Beast Riot, they had also seen Ajuka Beelzebub-sama in battle. No one had any doubts about her declaration. Verrine said
“Do you find the name of our team strange? It’s a name that came about after we gathered together, though the name is nothing but a decoration anyway.”
She laughed innocently. The aura exuded by this relaxed and cheerful young girl also felt as though it was bottomless. The youth called Balberith emotionlessly said
“I fought against a god…it wasn’t very much.”
After getting halfway through his sentence, his piercing glare shifted to me and Vali! “—Will the Two Heavenly Dragons considered to be the strongest in history be worthy of battle?”
It felt as though I was beginning to freeze from deep within. Even though I felt such fear, on the other hand, a strong person was seeking me out, and as a man, I couldn’t help but feel both happy and honoured…! In response, Vali finally revealed that fearless smile of his. Balberith walked past between the two of us. “I look forward to meeting you in a match.”
Verrine quickly chased after the youth, and she waved goodbye to us as she left. “See ya ♪”
After waiting until the two of them left, we finally exhaled and took a deep breath! Rias took a deep breath, and then she said
“…They’re truly monsters. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt as though I couldn’t breathe…!”
I asked Vali
“Vali, what do you think?”
Even though the two of them had already left, Vali still kept staring in the direction from which they had both left. “…There is no doubt that they are Devils. But…it’s scary just how strong they are…!”
Albion and Ddraig also expressed their own thoughts. [Those two…. What exactly is going on…?] [So, such things have remained hidden up until now huh…]
This was the debut of the formidable people who had caused even the fearless Two Heavenly Dragons to say such things. Seriously, it doesn’t look like it’ll be that easy to advance in the Tournament. In the near future, we’ll also have to compete against Vidar-san and the others! Faced with the extraordinary existences which were different to god-class beings, I was once again able to profoundly feel the true difficulty of this Tournament—. Part 2
After encountering new enemies during our visit to Azazel Stadium, we began to collect information on the team of Balberith and Verrine. Rias and Ravel received some information from Tournament officials and other contestants. All of a sudden, Rossweisse-san received a message via a communications magic circle. After reading the contents, Rossweisse-san immediately shrieked, and she instantly sat down on the floor as the strength in her legs disappeared. “……Eeeeeeeeeehhh…”
Her voice was filled with confusion. “W-What’s wrong, Rossweisse-san?”
I approached her, and after she jolted in surprise, she averted her eyes from me. “……U-Umm…i-it’s a bit difficult to say…”
After taking a deep breath, Rossweisse-san spoke with a determined expression. “…My hometown sent a request to me, saying that a marriage interview has been arranged. My grandmother is strongly persuading…or more likely, forcing me to go to a marriage interview…”
A marriage interview!? Rossweisse-san is!? At the request of the Norse mythology!? I couldn’t help but feel taken aback. Irina continued to ask in my stead
“T-This marriage interview that you’re talking about, who is the other party…?”
It was at this time that Akeno-san spoke
“Ah, Rias. We’ve also been contacted by the Norse mythology. You can take a look.”
Akeno-san showed the communications magic circle to Rias, and she also understood after seeing it. “…I-It looks like the situation has become troublesome!”
Rias’ expression seemed to show that she was uncertain of what to do as well. At last, Rossweisse-san said to me
“…T-The other party is Vidar-sama…!”
After a slow pause, all of us cried out loud! [With the chief god!? A m-marriage interview!?] From the looks of things, it seems like the final episode of the first trimester of our third year is yet another outrageous event! Known as the demon of impatience in Christian demonology. The demon who tempts men to blasphemy and murder. Both he and Verrine are associated with the Aix-En-Provence Possessions. In the lowest level of the Netherworld — there was a research institute that belonged to Rizevim Livan Lucifer in Cocytus, and the god of the Netherworld, Hades, had added more facilities to the underground location.
