They did say that those from famous households are participating. It seems like Buchou knew that Sona-kaichou was participating. Ah, found Saji! He also recognises me and comes to talk. “Let’s both work hard for the Devils today, Hyoudou.”
“Yeah, let's do our best.”
During our conversation, Sirzechs-sama's speech began. “From appearances, Heaven and the Grigori are all full of energy. We also have to do our best so we don’t lose. Even if these are activities to improve our relations, it will be rude to hold back. So go all out.”
Sirzechs-sama had a refreshing smile. B-But we have to go all out, huh…. [ARMAGEDDON!!] All the Devils shout at once! Why is the shout “Armageddon”!? It sounds really dangerous! After hearing Sirzechs-sama’s speech, all of the Devils became very enthusiastic…. ……But I realised that I was thrown into a dangerous position even though the Maou has the most peaceful smile. ……I have a bad feeling about this……. That’s what I thought, but the sports day started smoothly. “Maybe something will act as the catalyst for a War…. ?”, that’s what I thought at first while being scared, but now I can give cheers to the Devils without any worries. We were cheering for the Devils who are running in the grounds. A mat was put down in our cheering area, where we are resting. My comrades who will be participating in the activities are either warming up or relaxing their bodies. I also started to stretch my body with Kiba. By the way, Asia isn’t here. Asia who has the power to heal is on standby, at her personal tent, to heal any injuries that occur. [Go~ Go~ D-E-V-I-L-S☆]
The one who is doing a cheering performance at the front is the Maou, Serafall Leviathan. She was cheering for the Devils dressed as a magical girl, while her assistants are dancing behind her. Now, it’s about time for the “Obstacle race” which I will be participating in. [Will those who will be participating in the Obstacle race, gather in the allocated area please.] I just heard the announcement that was made. “Alright, I'm off then.”
I tell everyone. “Yes, do your best.”
“I will be cheering for you.”
After being encouraged by Buchou and Akeno-san, the Two Great Onee-samas, I walked towards the allocated location. ○Obstacle Race
I lined up along with all the other participants. Hold on……I’m in the first row! So I will be one of the first ones running huh….. I’m feeling insecure. [We will now be commencing the Obstacle race!] Oh, so it’s finally starting. I made the stance to run. [On your marks, get set………BANG!] I ran just after hearing the bang! It seems like I did well with my starting dash! There are two people from each faction, in total six people are running towards the finish line! The obstacles were fairly simple. We had to cross a balance beam, go under a net, and kick certain kinds of balls. We progressed normally and finally reached the last obstacle…. “Gyaooooooooooooooooooon!”
“Kyueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!”
“Gowangowan!”
What appeared, while making such dangerous cries, were:…….a nine-headed enormous snake, a monstrous dog with three heads and an ominous bird which is spreading its wings! What is that!? Is it some kind of monster trade fair!? I am so shocked, that my eyes pop out! When I looked, the other participants were stunned! Me included! Wait, that three-headed dog! Wasn’t that the hell dog called Cerberus!? I remember very well since I’ve fought it before! [For the last obstacle we positioned each of the monsters☆: A serpent with deadly poison that can kill Angels and Devils with ease, Hydra! The gate dog of hell, Cerberus! And the ominous bird, Ziz, is also present! So please try to break through the monsters!] "We positioned each of the monsters☆" my aaaaaaaaaassss! “Oh, if it isn’t Hyoudou Issei.”
One of the monsters talks to me. I thought "I don’t have any acquaintance with a monster", but it was a giant Dragon…. It was the former Dragon King, old man Tannin! “O..Old man! Why are you here?”
The old man answers my question while scratching his head. “Well, I was asked to help in the sports day for the Three Great Powers…….but it seems they wanted me to do this role.”
You mean to act as a monster!? C..Certainly a Dragon is a monster….but what kind of obstacle is there to make the old man, who is a former Dragon King and an Ultimate-class Devil, become the last obstacle!? “Gyaaaaa!”
“Uwaaaaa!”
“Help meeee!”
There are cries! When I looked, there is a Fallen Angel who is tangled by the serpent, an Angel who is being taken somewhere by the ominous bird! And there is a Devil who has been swallowed by Cerberus, head first! They are all in a serious situation! [Ooooh! Looks like all the participants are playing cheerfully with the monsters! It sure is a peaceful view!] Shut up! It ain’t fun! No matter how you look at it, all the participants are being drawn to their doom! “Alright, you come at me as well!”
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! Receiving a huge fire breath which has the same shock as a comet, I get wrapped in an explosion and blown up into the air…..

○Item-Borrowing Race
I was already battered when I returned to my seat, after being healed by Asia……
Somehow, I was able to get first place, but it’s not like I beat the old man; I crossed the finishing line by running away from him….. Even after that, it turned into an outrageous activity due to the participants continuing to retire. [………….] It seems that each side was under the pressure of being nervous, as well. All the teams became bloodthirsty after the obstacle race and all participants have sharper eyes now. Rather, they are filled with fighting spirit, after the encounter with the monsters. I’m positive this will turn into a storm……
[Will those participating in the item-borrowing run gather in the allocated location--]
Oh, it’s the announcement for the item-borrowing run. “Alright then, I'm off again.”
“…….Please do your best.”
“Ise-senpai, please win~!”
Receiving encouragement from my adorable juniors, Koneko-chan and Gasper, I head towards the so-called location which will become a battlefield. Please make it a peaceful competition this time. I lined up and waited for my turn. It became my turn; I stood at the starting line and readied myself to dash. [On your marks, get set…….BANG!] Hell yeah! I succeed in my starting dash! I went ahead marvellously and picked up an envelope. “Who the heck is Yakitori-sensei! ?”
“Which one of you is the Tasogareiro no Utatsukai here! ?”
It looks as though the criteria of other participants is very hard. Now, what about mine? I opened the envelope and read what was written on the paper. “…………………..”
My brain stopped for a moment when I checked what was written. It simply says [Siscon]. I gulped and then headed towards the VIP seats, looking for a certain someone! “Sirzechs-sama! Please come with me!”
“Mu! So I’m the item! Okay, I got it!”
I ran towards the goal while holding hands with Sirzechs-sama! [The participant from the Devil team got first place!] Yeah, I got first place again!
