With a radiant smile, Koneko-chan said to me
“It’s fine if you don’t tell me. Because I’m happy right now. I have so many sisters around me, and Yuuto-senpai is like a brother. I’ve made so many friends, and most importantly…there’s also someone that I love.”
With her cheeks dyed slightly red, Koneko-chan said to me
“With so many family members around me, I can fight well. I can live well.”
Kuroka—. Koneko-chan is strong. She’s stronger than you think. No, she’s become strong. Because she has Rias and us all by her side—. One day, even if we tell her about the truth of her parents, I think she’ll definitely be able to accept it. If it’s from me…then indeed, that won’t do. Kuroka should be the one to say it. Koneko-chan waded through the bath, and gradually drew near me, little by little. She faced me and asked
“Ise-senpai, do you still remember what happened during the [Demonic Beast Riot]? What I said.”
—When I grow bigger, please allow me to become your bride. Back then, that was what Koneko-chan said to me. Of course, there was no way that I could forget. “Of course, I remember that clearly.”
Koneko-chan’s face turned completely red as she loudly declared to me
“When that time comes, please give me an answer.”
After saying that, she quickly climbed out of the bath and headed towards the dressing room. “Also, Rias-neesama is in the sauna room!”
After saying that, she left me alone in the bath! Just as Koneko-chan had mentioned, I peered towards the sauna room — and I happened to see Rias who had just opened the door and come out completely naked! No matter how many times I see those enormous oppai of hers, I never feel satisfied because it’s such a stunning sight to see those pretty pink tips! In my eyes, she also had perfect thighs, and her gorgeous body was the ultimate eye candy! “I’m sorry, I didn’t plan on eavesdropping…but I just couldn’t find the right timing to come out.”
She said that as she walked over towards the showers to wash down her sweat. She then stepped in to join me in the bath. It just so happened that the game was about to begin soon, so this was a good opportunity for us to talk. “I’ll be cheering for you in the game. Well, you knew that anyway.”
“Ufufu, of course I know.”
Rias winked at me, and then undauntedly said
“Don’t hate me even if I defeat your destined opponent, okay?”
“If that really happens, I think it’ll be a very interesting development.”
After saying that…I felt as though the atmosphere between us gradually evolved in a good direction. And like that, we moved closer to each other, and just as our lips were about to touch—. “It’s nice to have a bath in the middle of the night too!”
“That’s true! I was angry when you suddenly dragged me up to take a bath, but now that I think about it, having a late-night bath is also nice!”
“…I’m very sleepy, but I’ll accompany you guys.”
The Church Trio composed of Xenovia, Irina and Asia (sleepy mode) came in! The three of them were all startled upon seeing us. “I-It’s so late, and yet you’re having a naked tryst with each other in the bath! ?”
“No way, so something like this was going on! ?”
“O-Oneesama! Sorry for bothering you!”
As the situation unfolded, Rias and I couldn’t help but look at each other and laugh out loud. In the end, I wasn’t able to enjoy the large bath by myself…but I was able to listen to Koneko-chan’s thoughts, and give words of support to Rias, so I felt good about that—. Part 4
And then, it was finally the day of the match between Rias’ team and Vali’s team—. In order to cheer Rias on, and also to act as a guard, I arrived at the venue of the game. The venue for the game was the newly constructed stadium in the Fallen Angels’ territory of the Underworld — [Fafnir Stadium]. This name came from the Dragon King who had once helped Azazel-sensei in the past. At the entrance, there was a golden statue of Fafnir and Azazel-sensei wearing his Down Fall Dragon Another Armour. …As soon as I saw this, I knew it was one of sensei’s own proposals. His style is way too conspicuous! That’s right, the reason why we came here to act as guards was also due to some advice that Ikuse-san had given us. [I’ve received news that the Grim Reapers of Thanatos’ faction are targeting the game between Rias Gremory’s team and Vali’s team. Although its authenticity hasn’t yet been confirmed…it’s possible that they may attack, based on my experience in working behind the scenes.] …I also felt that something seemed amiss, so I came along with all of my team members whilst remaining cautious. It would be best if nothing happens. The live broadcast of the game could also be watched on a mobile phone. Damn it! I wanted to see the game with my own eyes, but all I can do is watch the broadcast on my phone now! But it’s worth it if this will allow Rias and Vali to have a smooth game. Because the information wasn’t confirmed, the game hadn’t been cancelled. Of course, there was also tight security for every match in the Tournament. In the unlikely event that something does happen, the game will be suspended, and our team would join Rias and Vali to fight against Thanatos’ faction. However, since this was a major match, it would be for the best if the two of them and the audience could enjoy it as much as possible. That’s why this is a top secret mission of [DxD]. Our opponents are Thanatos’ faction. …I don’t know if they’ll come yet, but if they do, I’ll definitely defeat them! On that topic, we don’t have any assistance from Sairaorg-san or Dulio this time. They originally wanted to come over as well, but because the mysterious Devils were causing trouble in the areas under their jurisdiction, they couldn’t afford to spare any assistance. The Sitri peerage had also been attacked by the mysterious Devils while protecting Kuoh Town, so they remained in the human realm. However, they were fortunately still able to lend Bennia to us. Hence, we would have to deal with this matter on our own. We might have to fight against those who can break through the barriers again. Just what kind of technique are they using to pass through the barriers at the various locations? The members of our [Sekiryuutei of Blazing Truth] gathered in the vicinity of the venue (Bova maintained his mini-dragon form). Although we weren’t currently participating in a match or training, Bina-shi and Roygun Belphegor-san also came to join us. I thanked Roygun-san
“I’m so sorry, even though the news hasn’t been confirmed yet, I still insisted on standing guard here. And you accepted that to join us as well.”
Roygun-san smiled as she answered me
“No, it’s okay. I have plenty of time anyway. Moreover, if nothing happens, then that’s for the best, isn’t it?”
Just as we were about to decide on our placement of guards—. “I’ve also come to help, Hyoudou Issei-kun.”
—While saying that, the people who appeared before us were Ikuse-san and several other agents!
