That is enough of a reason for you to get beaten up! I! I am the children’s hero who plays the role of Oppai-Dragon! If you are trying to take their future away from them, then I will kill you here!”
I made cannons appear from my wings and started to get ready to fire a blast. A quiet impulse of aura. Enormous power is being charged in the cannon. Shalba released his wings and tried to run away….. I won’t let him get away! Hearing an idiotic ideal like yours, I’m not nice enough to let you get away! “Blow away! Crimson Blasteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer! !”
[Fang Blast Booster!!!!] ZUBAAAAAAAAAAAN! Enormous amounts of crimson aura were released from the cannons! “Fuhahahahahaha! Either way you will also die from Samael’s curse! Sekiryuutei!”
A red aura enveloped Shalba who was screaming……


I, who had defeated Shalba, released Ophis from the ropes made from demonic-power while enduring Samael’s curse. Ophis then questioned me. “Sekiryuutei, why did you help me?”
I said it while sighing. “You saved Asia and Irina.”
“That was my gratitude towards them. It should not be a reason for Sekiryuutei to help me.”
“Asia and Irina are my important friends. If you saved them, then a reason for me to save you will also exist. I began to think that you are not a bad guy. Why did you cooperate with them?”
“They promised me that they will defeat Great Red. I want to return to the dimensional gap and obtain “silence”.”
“There’s no way that they will keep their promises. Weren’t you used by them a lot?”
“If I can defeat Great Red, then that’s okay. That’s why I gave them snakes.”
……Dream. Ophis’s aim. Ophis continues. “I went to Sekiryuutei’s house because I thought I could find something that would fulfill my dream. Abnormal growth. I thought the secret behind the “True Dragon” and “Heavenly Dragon” lay there. I thought I could find the reason why I exist.”
“……I see. I finally got it.” This guy is purer than anyone. The Old-Maou faction and The Hero-faction used that. They used her for their own ends. Their ambitions. To control the World or to seek a battle against superior beings. But that is something irrelevant to Ophis…… This guy isn’t a last-boss at all….! It was all an illusional boss that the Khaos-Brigade created….! I’m glad I rescued her. I think this guy is someone who I can talk to unlike Shalba. I will take her home and speak with her about many things. I thought she was creepy, but she is just a pure Dragon who is merely naïve. She is strong and infinite. Everyone became scared of her and made her into something people would fear. She was tricked into becoming the leader of the terrorists. ……A lonely and poor Dragon. That is Ophis. ………My consciousness is getting worse. Is it because of the curse…..? Geez, I need to get home quickly. “Hey Ophis. Do you want to become friends with me?”
“……Friend? What’s the benefit if I become that?”
“I could at least become someone you can talk to.”
“I see. That sounds fun.”
Yeah it is fun. That’s why let's go home. To that house….. The building collapsed and the surroundings were being sucked into the hole. A field that is collapsing. Even if I go into the dimensional gap, I will be safe for a while if I wear my armour. I will be all right as long as everyone summons me before that. I got up and walked forward. To return home……………


……The crumbling field. I’m walking……in that field…… But I don’t have the strength to walk any more……
I’m going forward……while having Ophis lend me her shoulder…… It’s the effect of the curse……
……It’s truly ironic since I’m having Ophis help me when I came to rescue her……
……My eyesight is getting blurry. ……That’s weird, since I’m not even sleepy. …………I don’t feel the pain……from Samael’s curse now……
It doesn’t hurt……nor is it painful……
[Partner! It’s almost time! Azazel and the others are probably about to open the Dragon Gate for us! Then the only thing left for them is to summon us!] ……Ddraig. I know it…… Let’s go on……
……Oh yeah, what should I do once I get home……? Reflect on……what I did wrong for the promotion test with everyone……? ……Oh yeah……we still have the mid-semester test as well……
…………Once I get……home, I will first……
“……Hey Ophis.”
“?”
“What do you want to do once you return……?”
“Return? I, do not have any place to return to. The dimensional gap, I do not have the power to return to it.”
“……Then you can return……to my place……”
“The house of Sekiryuutei?”
“……Yeah, that’s right. If you were able to get along with……Asia……and Irina……then you can get along with……everyone else as well……”
My legs……won't go any further……
Huh……? My sight……goes to the side……and then up……
……Did I fall down……? No, I can’t even tell that……
“……Ophis, have you ever……fallen in love with someone……?”
……What am I saying……? However……I can see……that beautiful……crimson hair……in my mind……
[Partner, get a hold of yourself! Everyone is waiting for you!] ……Yeah I know……
……Asia……is a cry-baby so I have to return quickly……
……Akeno-san……is a very fragile person……even if she looks like that…………and Koneko-chan……I’m glad she’s getting along with Ravel……
……Xenovia……and Irina……I remember when they were enemies at first……
“Ddraig, this person has the curse circulating through his entire body. —He’s at his limits.”
[I know that, Ophis! I already know that! But he won’t die! This man has always kept on standing up!] ……Rossweisse-san……Gasper……hurry and come……home……
…………Azazel-sensei……Kiba…………Matsuda, Motohama……my important……
[Let’s go home! Partner! What are you doing! Stand up! You always stood up!] …………Sairaorg-san……Vali……I still……want to fight……you guys……
……………………Rias……the one I love…………
《——Ise, come back to me.》
……………………I’m glad that……I confessed to her…………
……I will definitely…………return to……your……side……
“I love you Rias…………”
I’m glad……that I could at least……say that……
……………………——

“……Ddraig, this person isn’t moving.”
[…………Yeah.] “……Ddraig, you are crying?”
[…………Yeah.] “I, only knew him for a short time.”
[…………Yeah.] “He wasn’t a bad person. —He was my first friend.”
[……Yeah, it was fun. ……Hey, Ophis. No, this man’s last friend.] “What is it?”
[Can you listen to my story for a bit, before I move on to a new host?] “Okay.”
[I want you to remember this man forever. Let me talk about him……]
“Was he a good Sekiryuutei?”
[Yeah, this is the story about the man who was the best Sekiryuutei.] In front of me, Kiba Yuuto, there is a ritual being performed by Azazel-sensei along with the help of the former Dragon-King Tannin-sama. “The preparation of the summoning magic circle is complete. We will open the Dragon-Gate.”
Sensei said that, and the magic circle started to glow. We, the Gremory group, and those who are involved are at the place where the promotion of Mid-class devils test took place. We were on the transportation floor. Azazel-sensei drew a magic-circle to call dragons on the whole floor of the basement. He’s trying to open the Dragon-Gate in order to call out Ise-kun. Kuroka is also helping with that.
