…….I thought it was a jewel, but it is isn’t it? It’s identical to the jewel on Vali's, Sensei’s, and my dragon-type Sacred Gears. “…….Maybe you got cursed?”
When I said that, he made a really disturbed face. “Uwaa….. Don’t say something which I was having concerns about…… Did you know that Vritra didn’t leave that much of a good legend?”
Saji changed the subject and then asks me. “So what activities will you be doing Hyoudou?”
“I’m doing the three-legged race. It’s been decided that I’m doing it with Asia.”
“Ku! You seriously are a lucky bastard! I’m doing the bread-eating race.”
Hmm, bread-eating race. That’s also fun, but I will just enjoy my run with Asia-chan. Saji is being envious of me, and two girls wearing glasses appear. “Saji what are you doing? We will be checking the setting of each of the tents, so follow us quickly.”
“We, the student council, lack manpower anyway so please work.”
It’s Sona-kaichou and the Fukukaichou, Shinra Tsubaki-senpai. Both of them are calling Saji. Oh, both their glasses are shining. “Y-Yes Kaichou! Fukukaichou!”
Saji rushed and went to their sides. Kaichou and Fukukaichou sure look strict…… Speaking of glasses, I remembered the next heiress of the house of Agares. That person was also cool and……wearing glasses. Are most of the people among devils who are wearing glasses calm and serious? Saji waved his hands at me and moved to a corner of the grounds with Fukukaichou. [-Vritra aye.] Hmm? Ddraig, what do you mean? [No. Don’t worry about it. But it looks like the direct contact with me has fastened it greatly. No matter how many pieces his soul was cut into, it will be a different story when it has a “start”.] I don’t even know what you just said. [Close to you, there are Fafnir and Vritra. And you have met with Tannin. Looks like this host has strong ties with each of the Dragon-Kings.] Hmm. Looks like Ddraig-san went into a world of his own. “Asia! Did your oppai develop during the summer holiday?”
“Kyaa! Kiryuu-san! Please don’t grope them!”
…….Ah. The glasses-girl is sexually harassing Asia. Man, when I take my eyes off her she always sexually harasses Asia…… I should warn her afterwards. Or else Asia will turn erotic! She has already started to have an interest in those things because of Buchou and Akeno-san’s influence……. Now, I should start my practice with Asia then. From the tools for the activities, I took out a rope for the three-legged run. “Asia! Let’s practice!”
“Y-Yes!”
She bowed her head down to Kiryuu who was going all over her, and came running to me quickly. The other girls and guys in my class have already started practicing. Ah, there are those who are good at it but their rhythms are off. They also look timid because they are attached to each other. Asia and I also got closer and tied the rope to our legs. “Okay, let’s do it immediately Asia!”
Even though she seems embarrassed, she puts her hand around my hip and we are now ready. Hmmm, Asia’s hair smells nice……. It’s because her body is touching mine, but I can feel something soft……
No no! I need to push away bad thoughts! My partner is Asia! Self restraint! Self restraint! After taking a breath, we nod at each other and take a step forward. “Now, one, two….”
We move while making a sound, but……
SLIP! Our legs tangled and we became unbalanced! “Uoo!”
“Kyaa!”
I quickly grab a hold of Asia who is about to fall and fix our balance! “……H-Hmm……Looks like I need to keep my rhythm the same as Asia’s.”
That’s what I think. When I look at Asia, her face is red and seems like she is enduring something. Huh? Hmm? It seems like my right hand is holding onto something really soft……
Hey, I’m groping Asia’s oppai! I get it….. So the place I grabbed onto when Asia was about to fall was her oppai! Hmm, I think her mass has increased! No, I shouldn’t touch them any longer than this! I had my hand let go of Asia’s oppai! “S-Sorry! It wasn’t on purpose!”
I apologised! What have I done! Even though I say that Asia is important to me, I ended up groping her oppai! But Asia’s oppai also have a good sensation! “……I-It’s alright. I’m okay. But please tell me you will touch them beforehand…. I also need to get ready for it….”
It’s okay if I ask you then!? No, that’s wrong! It’s not intentional! I started to become troubled with self-hatred and an urge to have sex, but I won’t last long at this rate. I said it after taking a breath. “L-Let’s resume our practice then.”
“Y-Yes. But I’m sorry. I’m not that good with sports.”
Asia feels down. “Don’t worry. We just need to have the same rhythm. It’s teamwork.”
“T-Teamwork?”
Asia bends her neck cutely. Yeah, why is every single action of this girl really cute! “Yes, teamwork. Let’s let our voice out together and move step by step. We will run after we get used to it.”
“Yes.”
Yes. It’s the same as my training. We can get used to it, one by one. It will definitely become a key for success. That’s what I, who didn’t have anything, learned. “Then let’s do it once more!”
“Yes!”
Like this, we started by getting our rhythm right. After school that day. I make my way to the clubroom along with Asia, Xenovia, and Irina. The other members including Buchou who arrived before us are wearing serious faces. Huh? Something happened? “Did something happen?”
When I ask, Buchou answers. “Yes. Our next opponent for the Youth Devil Rating Game has been decided.”
Hee. So it’s already decided. Starting from the Gremory vs. Sitri match, there were games between the six households. So the Gremory group also has to battle all the other houses besides the Sitri group. I wasn’t that shocked about it, but I understood the reason for everyone's strange reactions after Buchou’s next words. “Our next opponent is…….Diodora Astaroth.”
“-!”
I became speechless at something I could only think of as a bad joke. “One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.”
Asia and I have been practising for the three-legged race today as well. Xenovia is also helping us out. Lately we have been practising every morning. We are practising behind the gymnasium. Compared to the time before we began practising for it, we have gotten much better at it! “Auu! One, two! Hauuu! Three, four!”
Asia is desperately trying to follow me. Daily training is a must, after all. By working hard little by little, we can get one step ahead. Fufufu. I found that out while getting trained by Buchou, Sensei, and the dragon. “Yes. You guys have quite a good rhythm now. Now let’s have you guys run as if it's the actual race.”
Xenovia says that while fixing our rope. When I looked at Asia, she seemed a bit gloomy. “…………….”
Huh? Is Asia worrying about something? …….Well, our next opponent is Diodora after all. Asia has looked even more concerned ever since our next battle was announced. “Asia, tell me what is concerning you.”
Asia put on a confused face at my suggestion, and then tells me after thinking for a bit.
