Although she did have help from Xenovia and Irina, I never expected that Asia would be able to make such a declaration! Seeing Asia like this, Xenovia and Irina began to cry. “…Yes, that’s right, Asia.”
“Uuh, we’ve tried all of the different methods to increase our bust size! Darling, I’ve also gotten slightly larger by the way!”
Irina’s additional information leaked out…. With a poignant expression on her face, Ravel nodded. “Devils and humans are different, even if we mature, it’s still possible for our bodies to continue growing. This is not only because of our demonic energy, there are also other reasons…perhaps Asia-sama’s thoughts have caused her reincarnated body to grow.”
Speaking of which, I had heard that after Devils mature into adults, their oppai could still continue to grow. Perhaps Asia was an example of this rumour, though this may also have been Asia’s original growth. Or perhaps both of these aspects had combined, producing the ultimate result—. While thinking about such matters, I continued to enjoy Asia’s twin peaks…. Oh, I really want to bury my face into them and then go to sleep like this. Seeing me obsessed with Asia’s soft twin peaks, Xenovia suddenly realised something as she said
“Hold on! Ise, you only want Asia’s oppai!? I originally planned to spend until morning with you!”
“That’s right! Darling, if you don’t believe me, then we can go to that room tonight and you can fall asleep on my chest!”
Ravel then joined in as well! “Impossible! Tonight’s management has already been assigned to me! Please return to your own rooms, Xenovia-sama and Irina-sama!”
The three people then continued to declare ‘it’s me’, ‘it’s me’, while Asia displayed a tender expression
“…Ah, Ise-san, i-if you keep on going like that…”
Asia’s body began to quiver, and I was no longer in a state where I could simply stop! Both of us were already approaching a point of no return! What should I do next, should I just sleep here, or should I go to Irina’s ero room to sleep; just as I wavered between those two options, another person entered the room again. “…Seriously, what are you all doing…”
It was Rias who had just come home. She looked at the scene in front of her, and sighed deeply. Asia seems to stutter and mispronounce a few words. This is the term used originally, so I’ve kept it. Spartan in this sense means something along the lines of a strict, military-style education. Approximately fifty square metres. That’s five hundred and thirty eight feet for the Americans. Her voice is inaudible during the ellipses, though you can guess what she was saying. Alternate reading is: Joker of Heaven.

On a clear day, I visited Ajuka-sama’s research facility after the end of business, and used the dedicated communication device to communicate with Azazel-sensei who was in the Isolation Barrier Field. …Last night, I ended up being with Asia, Xenovia, Irina, Ravel, as well as Rias and Akeno; all seven of us had slept together. …And just like last time, I was kicked off the bed by Xenovia, and awoke on the icy cold floor. Since it was the first time that we had all spoken in a while, I told everyone in the Isolation Barrier Field about all of the events that had happened recently. “That’s roughly how things have played out so far, and I’ve been on a winning streak so far.”
The large display showed Sirzechs-sama, who cheerfully replied after listening to my report with
[Congratulations! Rias has also been on a winning streak, ah I’m happy! In that case, I can fight Trihexa with peace of mind!] —After saying that, he landed a stunning blow. …Trihexa still couldn’t be defeated even though it had received such a deadly strike, and that made me realise once again just how exceptional this monster was. Then, Leviathan-sama appeared on the display, and made a request of me. [Tell me more about what’s been happening with Sona-chan! Otherwise, I might get eaten by Trihexa!] As her voice faded, she hurled an enormous piece of ice…. Of course, I couldn’t imagine Leviathan-sama being eaten. Next to her, Azazel-sensei sighed. [Seriously, these guys are so rowdy…]
I couldn’t help but show a wry smile. At that time, Azazel-sensei looked at my face and seemed to have noticed something. [Ise, you look troubled. Is it about the tournament? Or are you not used to being a [King] yet?] —Hm. …As expected of sensei. He read my mind with just a glance. “…It’s both of them.”
Sensei nodded as he said
[I see.] And then he asked me
[Say, Ise. —Have you ever truly enjoyed fighting ever since you became a Devil?] …. ……. …I couldn’t immediately answer that question. To be more precise, because I had almost never thought of such things, I paused after thinking about it briefly. …Enjoy…fighting…? …There were times when I felt emotional during battles. I had also experienced the joys of victory that were enough to have an impact on my life. But, those kinds of victories were sparse, and up until now, I had been driven to fight because of the pressure of ‘I must win’. After all, most of my battles had been when my comrades and I were in a crisis, when we had been attacked by those who had come to destroy our daily lives. I believed that Vali was someone who enjoyed battles. That was the type of person that my rival was. “…I don’t think I have. Every time I fight, I don’t have that kind of feeling as my opponents have always been stronger than me, and I had to pour in everything I had in order to survive. When I was under Rias, the idea of granting her certain victory was what drove me to become stronger.”
After listening to my candid answer, sensei nodded with certainty, and then said
[But you know, the tournament that you’re participating in right now isn’t that kind of serious fight — it’s just sport. Even if your opponents are stronger than you by a lot, it’s still a ‘game’. Even if this ‘game’ is called a Rating Game, to Devils — or perhaps to the people in the Underworld, it is important. Since you’re already a high-class Devil, not only will you be unable to ignore this, you’ll also have to formally participate in future.] Indeed, the path of participating in professional Rating Games was originally out of reach for me, but it was clearly visible now that I had become a high-class Devil. It was no longer an unattainable dream. Sensei continued
[I think I’ve also said this before. It doesn’t matter if you have fun or if you worry. Regardless of whether it’s love, school life, or daily life, as long as you experience them, your troubles will grow. The Rating Games — the tournament follows the same reasoning.] Azazel-sensei pointed to his own head. [Devils’ bodies do not grow old, but the same does not apply to the mind. Even if you are a reincarnated Devil, it’s impossible to maintain a youthful spirit forever, you know? So, you should have worries and enjoy your youth while you’re still young.
