“…………Hmm, so this is the “Sekiryuutei of the Issei (Blazing Truth)” that had defeated Loki and Apophis.”
Looks like he was observing my spec and it sounds like I have satisfied him. Rias calls out Beelzebub-sama’s name. “Ajuka-sama.”
Beelzebub-sama raises his hand to urge us to “not put our alert on”. “Rias, this person here wanted to meet all of you so even if it was sudden I have brought him here.”
Saying that, Beelzebub-sama introduces the boy to us. “———This person is Shiva-sama.”
[———!?] ……Oh my god……! ……The God of Destruction who is in a different league among the Gods and if you don’t include Great Red and Ophis he is said to be the strongest among the whole forces……! Everyone here are in total shock (Though my parents are dumbfounded since they don’t know what’s going on here!)! ……More importantly, he came to my ceremony today!? Just how much attention am I getting today!? The boy———Shiva, says this as he smiles at us. “How are all of you doing, D×D……of the Kuou academy side should I say. My name is Shiva, one of the three pillar Gods. I feel that we will be meeting more frequently from now on so I wanted to give my greetings.”
He puts his hand forward……so I shake his hand while feeling frightened. “T-Thank you for that……”
……I’m shaking hands with the God of Destruction……
———And this time the tall man who looked like his escort speaks to me. “The promotion to a High-class Devil, allow me to congratulate you as well.”
“……Y-You are, umm.”
Shiva introduces the man to me. “He is the young Prince of Asura.”
———! …………Hahaha, I’m totally speechless now. This time it’s the Prince of Asura! The Prince of Asura puts his hand forward and introduces himself. “The name is Mahabali. Nice to meet you.”
The Prince of Asura, Mahabali, says it as he shakes my hand. “Especially you, Hyoudou Issei, I was eager to meet you. Your achivements during the War of Evil Dragons has also reached my ears. I also wanted to fight against Trihexa alongside you.”
“Y-You are flattering me……”
I can only answer him by forcing a smile on my face! That’s because two Gods……more like two pillars of Gods, but anways two pillars of Gods came all the way here just to greet me! I can only get confused at this situation which has far exceeded my expectation! Shiva seems to be having fun since he is putting his hand under his chin. “I have heard you were honest about your sexual desire but you don’t seem like that at all. A Harem-King is your dream, was it?”
“W-Well, I’m famous for being a lewd! I have already attained moves such as Dress Break which blows off women’s clothing and Bilingual which allows me to speak to their breast! And now I’m hoping if I can create a new move which allows me to see through women’s clothing!”
Why the heck am I explaining such things to the God of Destruction and the Prince of Asura! And Mahabali is taking my words seriously so he’s nodding his head with a serious face! Shiva seems to be just having fun. “Hmm, is that so. Certainly the sexual desires has been the direct source of coming up with those moves. But from looking at you right now it’s hard to think you made such moves since I don’t sense that much sexual desires coming from you.”
Shiva points at my nose and then asks this. “What are you seeking for right now? Is it women afterall? Or is it fame?”
“I, I want both! ……Isn’t that it?”
Shiva shakes his head at my words and then says this. “It’s what you are seeking for from the deep of your heart. What is the most thing you desire? Not as a singular but as a whole.”
What I desire for which is not singular but as a whole……
I answer him right away. “……I guess its peace. I want to live peacefully where there is no war. I am fighting with all my strength just for that.”
Shiva makes a single nod after hearing that. He then looks from the top of my head to the tip of my feet. “……I see, so that’s how it is.”
It seems like there is something which convinced him. “W-What do you mean?”
When I ask——— Shiva puts his palm on my chest. “Yes, he simply swimmed in that boundary peacefully as he liked without being restrained by anything. Ophis despite what happened in the past is enjoying peace right now, right? If the two beings which could be said as your second parents are seeking for peace then it won’t be weird if it changed your true nature since you are made by their powers. It seems like you have greatly influenced both Great Red and Ophis but the opposite would also apply. The current you is seeking to live more than anything. ———It means you are putting your all in protecting your peacefull life. If you really want to become a Harem King then you might not be able to advance further if you don’t settle your thoughts.”
So he’s saying that I’m craving for peace more than anyone due to Great Red and Ophis’s influence. ……More importantly, this God of Destruction knows where Ophis lives huh. Was it Beelzebub-sama or Azazel-sensei that told him……
Shiva continues. “It’s also influenced by the Infinity and the Dream but you are also seeking for peace, right? The infinity-like synergy might be strengthening that greed even further. You could say that is the price of getting a powerful power and possibility. I’m guessing that deep inside you it’s stopping you from making babies until you winning the peace with your own hands. You could say that it’s handcuff made from karma. There is no way a former human can unequip the powers of two God-class Dragons.”
……This feeling swirling inside me. The mixed feeling I have is actually coming from…… So are you telling me that I can aim to become a Harem King after winning peace with my own hands……? ……Is that it, Great Red? Ophis? The Heavenly Dragon that is seeking for peace…… ……I see. That might be it. Both Great Red and Ophis are living so carefreely. They are trying to live in such way. The two Dragons that are called the strongest wants to enjoy peace. No, they are enjoying peace. The two God of Dragons are like my dad and mom. If they are seeking for peace then it can’t be helped that me who is their child is being influenced by them……
Shiva laughs in amusement when he sees me thinking through all of this. “The existence which sounds like a joke since he has the power of two Dragons that surpasses my strength is seeking for peace more than anything else and is aiming to become a Harem King, huh. …….Fufufu, you’ve taken my interest.”
Shiva who talks to Beelzebub-sama. “Ajuka, you do remember the condition Azazel gave me, right?”
“……The case where we would prepare anything you ask for, I presume?”
Beelzebub-sama asks him. Shiva nods. “Yes, that’s it. ———Sekiryuutei.”
“Eh? Ah, yes?”
Shiva then says it directly to my face. “———How about you come under me?”
[———!?] Me and my comrades can only be shocked at this! Shiva then tells Rias. “Ah, don’t misunderstand me. I’m not telling him to leave your side, Rias Gremory. If a War breaksout from our mythology as the centre of it then how about he comes to my force? ———That’s what I was getting at.
