Don’t tell me you took Hyoudou Issei’s attack earlier without any enhancement and with only your natural body?”
Crom Cruach then gives a straight answer. “—I simply went around observing the human world and the Underworld as a part of my training and experience.”
“—! So you were working hard training your body and intelligence in the human’s world and the Underworld!”
It seems like Vali is really shocked. But—he simply laughs. “Kukuku. Hahahahahahahaha. I see, no wonder they call you the Dragon that governs battles. Seems like there was a Dragon who craved for battle even more than myself. I presume the reason why you are with Rizevim is to fight strong foes, right?”
Crom Cruach smiles at Vali’s words. “I want to see the place where Dragons would reach at the end.”
“So you are a similar type as me. I’m even more interested in you now, Crom Cruach.”
……Similar types huh. I sure hate this. Guys who only think about battles…… I’m guessing this guy also takes no interest in women, right? No way, I really don’t like this! And guys like that always end up taking interest in me! Give me a break already! I’m alright with simply having an ecchi and fun life with the Occult Research Club girls! Well, putting that aside. He didn’t get destroyed nor did he get enhanced by the Holy Grail. Then the reason why that attack worked is simply because he couldn’t overcome the power of dragon-slayer. Ddraig then tells me. [But, partner. He simply has damage to that degree with no enhancement at all. Despite the fact that you are in your crimson armour form. He sneaked into the human’s world and the Underworld even after Albion and I were sealed into the Sacred Gears to continue training himself. To be honest, I can’t actually calculate how strong he is now. He hasn’t revived after being destroyed, and continued to live and train himself in this era. There is a chance that he has reached the Heavenly Dragon class. ……So it isn’t wise to battle him now.] Even though you are saying that, we can’t progress further if we don’t defeat him, you know? Shit……like I thought, I may have to fight him together with everyone. While having Vali fight under a good condition. Though my biggest concern is if he will actually listen to me……
Then I can hear the conversation of everyone behind me. “So it’s useless even with Ise and Vali.”
“Looks like it, Xenovia. If it comes, even we have to go forward!”
“Of course, Irina.”
Looks like those two are eager to do this and aren’t even drawn back by the energy they wasted in the fight against Grendel. “………So this is the feedback of using Gram in actual battle. To be in this state simply because I can’t fully use Gram……”
Kiba is breathing violently and his hands are shaking. He's even bleeding from his nose. So the side effect of the Demonic Emperor Sword has shown up on his body already! We can’t force Kiba to overdo it now! I want to let my comrades get through here while Vali and I make some opening, but Crom Cruach is proving to be a more superior guardsman than Grendel. He has his attention on all of us present here. Asia says in a worrisome voice. “For Ise-san and Vali-san to have a hard time in battle……!”
—Then, Sensei rests his hand on Asia’s shoulder. “Chi, we can’t afford to waste any more time here! Asia!”
“Y-Yes!”
“We’ll use the last resort! Call him! Call Fafnir!”
—! Y-You are going to call him!? Will that Pantsu-bastard be useful under this situation!? “Y-Yes! U-Understood!”
Asia agrees to it obediently and activates a magic-circle glowing in gold, the Dragon Gate. “—Respond to my voice, the Golden King. Crawl on the ground and receive my reward! Please come out! Gigantis Dragon! Fafnir-san!”
She says the chant for the summoning, so the magic-circle glows even brighter. The one who appears after the light flashes is a huge Dragon with golden scales. This is the first thing the Dragon says. [……Opantie time?] —! Hmm, already from the start aye~. My mood is down already. “No, it isn—, I-I mean it is! It is opantie time!”
Asia tries to say no but she then says yes! “……What the, what happened! ?”
Vali becomes curious so he turns around. “D-Don’t be concerned about it, Vali! You shouldn’t be concerned about him!”
I feel like I can’t let Vali see it, so I try to stop him from turning around. [Albion, do not listen to him! You will die, your heart will that is!] Ddraig warns Albion. [W-What do you mean, the red one……? Don’t tell me its breasts!? Is it breasts!? Haahaa……I can’t breathe……]
Albion seems like he’s in hyperventilation! Looks like they are having difficulties as well! [N-No, it’s something else which is also horrible…… Fafnir is no longer the Fafnir we knew a long time ago!] Ddraig sure says it in a cruel way! I see, so Fafnir-san from a long time ago was different! Sensei says it to Fafnir. “Fafnir! When I had a pact with you, there was an item I gave you right? There should also have been a replica of the magical bullet of Tathlum among them! Bring that out! Since we have Crom Cruach here, the object which comes from the same mythology as him should work!”
Hmm, so an item used for a pact. If I recall, I heard Sensei gave different sorts of things to Fafnir when he had a pact with him. It’s really supportive to have an item that can be used against Crom Cruach! Fafnir responds to Sensei’s request. [Okay. But, I, want a certain thing.] “Pants right! Alright, Asia! Give your precious pants to him! If we can borrow Tathlum with that, then it’s a cheap bargain! Fuhahahaha! Back at the time when I had a pact with him, I gave him tons and loads of my collection! So Asia can use different sorts of legendary items simply with one pair of pants!”
“Y-Yes!”
Asia starts to look through her pochette and takes out a single pair of pants. However, as soon as Fafnir sees the pants, he makes an unpleasant face. What the, why are you feeling dissatisfied!? Aren’t Asia-chan’s pants treasures!? [—No. I, am not in the mood to wear pants.] A lot of the members here are shocked to hear his response and our eyes are about to pop out! —So it’s not pants! Does it depend on his mood!? “Seriously!? T-Then what on earth do you want!? Asia’s bra! ?”
Sensei who is having the biggest shock of the day. Looks like that’s how unexpected this is for him! “H-Hey Azazel! Asia is not a lingerie shop you know!? Her pants and bra aren’t things we can give so easily!”
“She is right! What do you think a maiden’s underwear is! ?”
Rias and Akeno-san start criticising Azazel! The love those two have towards Asia who they adore like their little sister is very strong! However, I come up with an idea! “No, Sensei. If my prediction is right, then it has to be a pair of pants that she just wore! If I was Fafnir, that’s what I would choose!”
How about that, Fafnir!? The thing you want must be pants that are—. [I want Asia-tan’s school swimsuit.] …………
T-That’s what he wants huh~. I sure can’t predict that~. You are such a perv~. I give up now~.
