==Life 5: Armageddon Saat Hari Olahraga!==

===Bagian 1===

Itu terjadi tepat setelah pelatihan gunungku dengan Raiser.

Dalam perjalanan ku dari sekolah, Azazel-sensei menangkapku dan mengatakan hal ini kepadaku.

"Yo ~, Ise! Tidakkah kamu mengerakkan tubuhmu ke sekitar, dan mengenai tubuh! Jadi ada event bagus! "

Dia memasang senyum bejat ....

Dia merencanakan sesuatu .....

Bahkan melihat kembali ke masa lalu apa yang terjadi ketika ia memakai senyum seperti itu, mayoritas dari mereka semua berita buruk.

"Aku tidak mau.Sesuatu yang tidak berharga lagi kan? Aku membuat semua orang menunggu!, jadi aku akan pergi-- "

"Sekarang, tunggu! Ini event olahraga! Tidakkah kau ingin berpartisipasi dalam event olahraga? "

Sensei mengatakan itu selagi menarik lenganku.

"Ev....event olahraga........katamu?"

Aku menatapnya dengan keraguan, dan dia menarik sesuatu dari sakunya.

"Ya, event akan diadakan di antara organisasiku segera. Jadi aku ingin memanggilmu sebagai tamu. "

Organisasi itu........jadi Grigori huh? Dan kau akan membuat event olahraga? Dan aku tamu apa itu berarti dia mengundangku sebagai Oppai Dragon? ......

"Kau mengatakan itu semua tiba-tiba ..."

"Ingat yang kau katakan, kau ingin bertemu malaikat jatuh yang cantik? ....... Hey Bos, ada beberapa gadis dengan payudara besar diantara kami kau tahu.....? "

Sensei menunjukkanku beberapa foto.

Wow! Ada wanita cantik yang lebih tua dengan sayap hitam tumbuh yang melakukan pose menggoda dan mengenakan kostum!

"Ini beneran.!? A-Apa yang harus aku lakukan .... "

Aku menerima foto dan mulai menatapnya! Oh man, Setiap orang memiliki tubuh yang bagus .... Sialan, gadis ini punya payudara yang terlalu besar! Tapi dia masih memiliki kurva bagus di pinggulnya! Aku tak tahan .....!

Jika aku berpartisipasi dalam event olahraga yang disebut tadi, aku bertanya-tanya apa dia akan memperkenalkanku kepada mereka? Jika itu terjadi, aku tidak keberatan menandatangani kontrak ini ....

Lalu ketika aku hendak menerima kertas darinya ....

"Mgh! Azazel! Aku katakan padamu! Ise-kun milik pihak kita!"

Seorang pria berambut merah keluar dari bayang-bayang! Uwaa! S...Sirzechs-sama!.? Mengapa dia di tempat seperti ini? Aku keheranan tentang itu, tapi Sensei membuat desahan dengan lidahnya!

"Chi! Sepertinya Maou-sama datang! Fuhahahahahaha! Sampai jumpa!"

Sensei meninggalkan tempat ini segera setelah mengucapkan kalimat yang dikatakan oleh penjahat!

Sirzechs-sama meletakkan tangannya di bahuku dan bernapas besar.

"........ Dia pria yang tidak bisa kulepaskan mata darinya. Adikku hampir berubah jadi peserta di sisi malaikat jatuh. "

....Aku....... Aku tidak mengerti! Mengapa Sirzechs-sama datang ke sini dan mengapa Sensei lari?

Apa itu ada hubungannya dengan event olahraga yang akan menjadi bagian dari event Grigori?

Aku bertanya pada Sirzechs-sama.

"U.. Umm, Sirzechs-sama. Apa ... Apa yang terjadi? "

"Ya, aku akan menjelaskannya setelah kalian semua kelompok Rias berkumpul."

-Maou-sama yang tiba-tiba muncul di dunia manusia. Ia memutuskan akan datang ke rumahku bersama dengan Buchou dan orang lain yang baru saja kami temui tadi.

[Hari Olahraga di antara Tiga kekuatan besar!?]

Ruang tamu kediaman Hyoudou, kelompok Rias Gremory, termasuk aku sendiri, membuat suara histeris.

Sirzechs-sama yang hanya menjelaskan rinciannya minum teh dan kemudian mengangguk.

"Ya. Untuk mempererat hubungan dengan Tiga kekuatan besar lainnya, kami memutuskan akan menggunakan olahraga untuk mencapai itu. Jadi sudah diputuskan untuk melakukan event olahraga, atau dengan kata lain hari atletik. "

Jadi yang kita lakukan adalah hari atletik sebagai pertemuan untuk Tiga Kekuatan Besar....... Oh, jadi ini adalah hari atletik yang Sensei bicarakan sebelumnya? Tapi kenapa Sensei berbohong bahwa itu adalah event malaikat jatuh dan lari dari Sirzechs-sama?

"Ah, Aku juga diberitahu tentang hari atletik dari Surga sebelumnya."

Irina yang merupakan reinkarnasi malaikat mengatakan itu selagi meletakkan tangannya. Oh iya ya, Irina kan bagian dari Surga. Tentu saja dia akan diberitahu tentang hal seperti ini.

Sirzechs-sama meneruskannya sambil tersenyum.

"Tentu saja, aku ingin kalian semua berpartisipasi sebagai peserta dari sisi iblis. Ini adalah pertukaran budaya penting. Jadi aku benar-benar berharap kerjasama dari kelompok Rias Gremory. Memiliki Ise-kun yang teratas sebagai Oppai Dragon, kalian semua populer di dunia bawah. "

Mendengar itu, semua orang tampaknya memiliki kesan yang baik di atasnya sehingga mereka mengatakan "hari atletik, ya?" dan "Sepertinya menarik". Aku tidak berpikir hal ini buruk. Baik juga punya interaksi seperti ini diantara Tiga Kekuatan Besar. Karena teroris menargetkan Dunia bawah dan Surga belakangan ini, jelas tampak event seperti ini diantara aliansi akan menyebabkan peningkatan hubungan diantara mereka.

Tapi ada satu hal yang tidakku mengerti. Aku mengangkat tangan dan bertanya pada Sirzechs-sama.

"U.. Umm, apa alasan Sensei memintaku untuk bergabung dengannya?"

Sirzechs-sama menjawabku sambil tertawa.

"...... Kemungkinan besar, ia berusaha untuk memikatmu di sisi mereka dan membuatmu berpartisipasi sebagai peserta untuk sisi malaikat jatuh. Popularitas dan Sacred Gear tampaknya akan memberikan pengaruh terhadap kegiatan............ Ya ampun, Gubernur itu bertindak cepat pada titik-titik yang aneh. Grayfia berkata padaku sesuatu akan terjadi, jadi aku datang untuk memeriksamu pada hari liburku. -Dan sepertinya dia benar. "

Aku ... Apa itu benar? Jadi aku hampir menjadi peserta untuk sisi malaikat jatuh! .......Nggh, dia adalah Gubernur licik di hal-hal semacam ini! Tapi aku ingin sekali bertemu wanita erotis itu!

"........ Kau membayangkan sesuatu yang bejat sekarang kan?"

Koneko-chan yang berada di pangkuanku mulai mencubit pipiku. Sakit ......., Koneko-chan.

Lalu Buchou berdiri, dan berkata pada Sirzechs-sama.

"Aku mengerti, Onii-sama. Jika kamu baik-baik saja dengan kami, maka kami dengan senang hati akan menerima dan berpartisipasi!

Seperti ini, diputuskan kita, kelompok Gremory, akan berpartisipasi untuk hari atletik yang akan dilakukan bersama dengan para malaikat dan malaikat jatuh!

Karena kita tidak memiliki banyak interaksi dengan para malaikat dan malaikat jatuh, aku melihat ke depan pada event itu!

===Bagian 2 ===

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Kembang api hari atletik ditembak.

Kami, kelompok Gremory, datang ke stadion di mana acara dari Tiga Kekuatan Besar akan diadakan! Tempat yang akan kita gunakan adalah lapangan permainan yang sama yang digunakan untuk Rating Game, jadi cukup luas.

Wow! Sama seperti Irina, ada malaikat bersayap putih dan sebuah cincin di atas kepala mereka, dan juga ada malaikat jatuh dengan sayap hitam!

Tentu saja ada banyak iblis di sini, tapi karena kita tidak sering bertemu malaikat dan malaikat jatuh, serasa baru dan aku semakin gugup! Setiap orang memakai kaos.

Malaikat berwarna putih, malaikat jatuh berwarna hitam, dan Iblis merah. Itu sebabnya kita juga mengenakan kaus merah.

Karena Sensei wakil dari para malaikat jatuh dan Irina peserta untuk malaikat, mereka tidak ada di sini. Jadi hanya untuk hari ini, kita musuh.

"Ah, itu Oppai Dragon. Switch Princess imut sekali ~. "

"Itu Sekiryuutei dan Putri Rias."

"Hellcat-chan. Semangat! "

Hanya berjalan sedikit membuat kita dapat perhatian positif dari orang-orang yang berbeda. ...... Sepertinya kita cukup diakui oleh orang-orang di antara Tiga Kekuatan Besar. Jadi ini juga berkat program tokusatsu<ref>Tokusatsu (特撮) adalah istilah dalam bahasa Jepang untuk special effects dan seringkali digunakan untuk menyebut film sci-fi/fantasi/horor live-action produksi Jepang.</ref>, ''Chichiryuutei Oppai Dragon'', ya?

-Dan, aku menemukan Irina! Dia berbicara dengan seseorang yang bersayap emas dengan suasana yang mulia tapi jika aku ingat dengan benar ...... malaikat-sama ini adalah .......

Irina menyadari kami, dan dia mendekati kami dengan pria itu sambil melambaikan tangannya ke arahku.

"Ah, Rias-san, Ise-kun, dan semuanya! Kalian semua datang! "

Pria itu tersenyum pada kami.

"Sudah begitu lama, semuanya. Ini aku, kepala malaikat Michael. Terakhir kali kita bertemu saat negosiasi diantara Tiga Kekuatan Besar. "

Ya! Ini Michael-san yang saat ini berdiri di atas Surga! Wow, aku melihat malaikat sama-legendaris sekali lagi! Dia terlihat begitu ilahi rasanya seperti dia akan memberi kita kerusakan pada kita hanya dengan melihatnya!

"S-Sama untuk Anda juga, dan saya minta maaf menyapa Anda begitu terlambat! Halo! "

"Sudah begitu lama, Michael-sama. Terima kasih untuk mengurus kami saat itu. "

""""""Halo.""""""

Aku, Buchou dan semua orang menyambutnya pada waktu yang sama. Oh man, ucapan seorang yang di atas Surga membuatku gugup!

"Aku sangat beruntung aku bisa bertemu dengan ''Sang'' Michael-sama! Aku sangat senang bergabung dengan kelompok Gremory!"

Rossweisse-san yang bertemu Michael-san untuk pertama kalinya sangat terharu.

"Ya, mari kita bermain jujur dan adil, dan nikmati hari ini."

Bahkan tidak ada rasa sedikitpun niat jahat dalam ekspresinya yang terlihat begitu cerah. Jadi ini senyum dari Seraph kelas top ....! Sepertinya kita sedang diberkati oleh-Nya!

"Michael-sama ~. Pembukaan akan dimulai ~."

Sebuah suara tiba-tiba. Ketika aku lihat ke arah itu ... malaikat yang tampak lembut Onee-san dengan rambut keriting pirang mendekati kita! Ini adalah malaikat-sama dengan banyak sayap tumbuh dari punggungnya!

Uoooooooo! Dia Onee-san super-cantik! Dan sosok tubuhnya super bagus! Dan payudaranya besar! Sangat menyenangkan dia memiliki payudara besar selagi dia malaikat, dan dia terlihat begitu ilahi!

Michael-san meletakkan tangan di dagunya, dan sepertinya dia benar-benar lupa tentang itu.

"Oh, begitu? Waktu benar-benar berlalu dengan cepat hanya dengan menyapa para pemimpin lain. Oh, aku masih belum memperkenalkan dirinya ya. Yang di sini juga merupakan salah satu dari Empat Besar Serafim sepertiku dan-- "

"Apa kabar? Aku salah satu dari Empat Besar Serafim, dan namaku Gabriel. "

Si cantik Onee-san memperkenalkan dirinya kepada kami sambil tersenyum pada kami!

Dia tampak begitu lembut, dan senyumnya juga yang tertinggi! Dan dia adalah salah satu dari Empat Besar Serafim! Woooow!

"Dia adalah wanita paling cantik dan juga wanita terkuat di Surga, ''Sang'' Gabriel-sama! Dan dia kebetulan menjadi sangat populer di Dunia Bawah juga! "

Irina menjelaskan kepada kami dengan kebanggaan dan antusiasme. Hmm, jadi dia juga populer di Dunia bawah, huh? Nah, kalau dia Cantik, tentu saja dia akan populer.

"Bukan hanya Michael-sama, namun Gabriel-sama juga di sini ...."

"Ya, ini benar-benar hari yang luar biasa ......"

Mata Asia dan Xenovia berkilau bercahaya, dan ekspresi mereka yang benar-benar hyped<ref>1.gue kira hype itu kayak hyperactive, tapi ternyata...emang bnr sih.but 
2.gue kira hype itu tipe2 indie, hipster, dll. that aint my type.but 
3.gue kira no 2 tuh salah. dan no 1 bener But 
What your Choice</ref> sambil memegang tangan mereka bersama-sama.

Untuk mereka berdua yang terkait dengan Gereja, baik keberadaan Michael-san dan Gabriel-san yang jauh dari jangkauan mereka hidup tinggi di langit.

Y-Yah, mereka benar-benar ''adalah'' orang-orang yang benar-benar hidup di atas langit......

".........Orang no 1 Serafall Leviathan-sama diam-diam melihat Gabriel-sama sebagai saingannya."

Buchou berbisik di telingaku.

Begitukah!? Jadi Leviathan-sama melihat dirinya sebagai musuhnyanya.

"Apa itu Ise. Oh, dan Michael juga di sini. "

Azazel-sensei dalam jersey hitam datang bersama seorang pria paras yang baik.

"Oh, itu kau Azazel. Sudah begitu lama. Seperti biasa, kau terlihat energik. "

"Aku akan mengatakan itu dengan barisanku."

Oh, Sensei dan Michael-san berjabat tangan sambil tersenyum, tapi mereka melepaskan tekanan kuat di sekitar .... Ruang di antara mereka mulai terdistorsi dengan tekanan kuat mereka. Harap jangan memulai perkelahian diantara bos akhir di tempat seperti ini! Rasanya seperti bidang ini akan tertiup pergi dengan mudah!

Lebih seperti bentrokan antar organisasi telah dimulai!

"..... A ..... Akeno."

".............."

Ada getaran aneh diantara Barakiel-san dan Akeno-san ...... Dari titik berdiri mereka, sang ayah adalah pemimpin dari malaikat jatuh sementara putri berada di sisi iblis, jadi itu berarti mereka akan bersaing satu sama lain dalam kegiatan.

Mereka memiliki beberapa masalah sebelumnya, tapi seharusnya sudah ditangani dalam insiden sebelumnya .....

TERLIHAT JAUH

Akeno-san terlihat pergi tanpa mengucapkan sepatah kata pun. Barakiel-san yang melihat itu sepertinya ia berada dalam shock berat dan mulutnya terbuka lebar. Akeno-san membuat wajah nakal sambil tersenyum dan menjulurkan lidah jadi hanya kita yang bisa lihat.

Ah, jadi dia hanya menggoda ayahnya. Aku lega kedua ayah dan anak dapat bergaul dengan baik.

[Untuk semua peserta dari masing-masing fraksi, pembukaan akan dimulai di tengah lapangan, jadi harap berkumpul. Saya ulangi--]

Oh, itu pengumuman. Sepertinya pembukaan kegiatan olahraga akan dimulai sekarang.

Para peserta dari masing-masing faksi semua berkumpul di pusat. Tim dibagi menjadi tiga tim dari malaikat, malaikat jatuh, dan iblis dan kami berbaris di jalur iblis.

[Umm, saya di sini menyatakan dan berjanji bahwa saya akan bersaing dengan orang lain dengan adil dan konvesionil dan akan mengikuti kehormatan sportivitas.]

Orang yang mewakili seluruh peserta memberikan sumpah dan pembukaan itu sudah berakhir.

Jika aku ingat, mereka mengikuti acara olahraga dari sistem Jepang. Jadi setiap program yang disesuaikan dengan prosedur yang sama.

..........Hmm, melihat dari buklet<ref>Pamflet atau buklet adalah terbitan tidak berkala yang dapat terdiri dari satu hingga sejumlah kecil halaman, tidak terkait dengan terbitan lain, dan selesai dalam sekali terbit. Halamannya sering dijadikan satu (antara lain dengan stapler, benang, atau kawat), biasanya memiliki sampul, tapi tidak menggunakan jilid keras. Menurut definisi UNESCO, brosur adalah terbitan tidak berkala yang tidak dijilid, lengkap (dalam satu kali terbitan), memiliki paling sedikit 5 halaman tetapi tidak lebih dari 48 halaman, di luar perhitungan sampul.</ref>, itu pasti memang aktivitas Jepang seperti "Barang-pinjaman berjalan" dan "Roti-makan dan berjalan" ......

Aku menemukan ini agak aneh dan aku memiringkan kepalaku, dan lalu Kiba menjelaskannya kepadaku.

"Sepertinya mereka sedang melakukan kegiatan ini karena mereka menemukan kegiatan acara olahraga Jepang yang menarik. Ingat bagaimana ada sebuah festival olahraga di Kuou Academy? Orang berafiliasi dengan aliansi itu diam-diam di sana. Sepertinya mereka bersenang-senang menontonnya. "

Hmm, jadi ada orang-orang yang terkait dengan Tiga Kekuatan Besar di sana huh.

Upacara pembukaan selesai dan kami pindah ke kursi pesorak untuk masing-masing sisi. Kegiatan yang aku akan ikuti adalah "Balap Halangan" dan "Berlari Item-pinjaman".

Dan mereka memintaku untuk berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan "Tim estafet" tahu? Sirzechs-sama memberiku tawaran yang dia ingin aku untuk berpartisipasi dan berkata aku bahkan dapat menggunakan Balance-Breaker.

Dan aku berpartisipasi sebagai tim adalah "Permainan bola lempar" dan "pertempuran Kavaleri".

Di depanku pada area tempat duduk kami, aku pergi melewati tim malaikat jatuh dan ....

Azazel-sensei dalam jersey hitam memberikan pidato kuat untuk tim Malaikay jatuhnya.

"Dengar, kalian semua. -Ini adalah perang yang juga dikenal sebagai program pertukaran. Jadi aku tidak akan mengeluh jika kalian jadi gila. Bahkan jika kita membentuk aliansi, kalian harus memiliki begitu banyak hal yang kau ingin katakan pada para malaikat dan iblis. Hal-hal seperti seperti item di Surga terlalu mahal dan orang orang iblis terlalu berisik saat pertukaran. Jadi kau harus menjaga begitu banyak stres dalam dirimu. Jadi gila seperti yang kau inginkan saat ini. -Aku akan membiarkan hal itu! "

[OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!]

Seiring dengan teriakan energik, ....... Aku juga mendengar beberapa raungan kesedihan! Maksudku malaikat jatuh mata mereka bersinar sangat misterius! Jadi mereka memiliki begitu banyak hal dalam diri mereka yang ingin katakan kepada para malaikat dan iblis?

Dan tim malaikat di kaus putih yang berkumpul di samping tim malaikat jatuh.

"Hahaha, malaikat jatuh sangat energik."

Ada beberapa respon negatif dari para malaikat yang menyaksikan pembicaraan tim malaikat jatuh.

"Kami mungkin jadi "jatuh" jika kita pergi bersama dengan aliran mereka ......!"

"Ini akan berakhir jika kita "jatuh" bahkan sekali, jadi aku harap malaikat jatuh dan iblis memahami itu.....!"

Sepertinya malaikat juga memiliki hal-hal yang mereka ingin katakan kepada para malaikat jatuh .....

"Dengarkan baik-baik, semua orang."

Michael-san memancarkan aura emas berbahaya dari tubuhnya sambil tersenyum.

"Ini seperti latihan biasa kita. -Berikan hukuman ilahi pada bidat. Kita punya tugas untuk mengikuti pekerjaan dari -almarhum Tuhan. -Beri mereka "Cahaya". "

[Tuan! Beri mereka penghakiman!]

Bukankah kalian semua hanya mengatakan hal-hal seperti Ca ... Cahaya dan ... penghakiman .....? Ini terlalu menakutkan! Bukankah ini acara olahraga yang berubah menjadi Perang perwakilan antara faksi sekarang ......?

Karena iblis berkumpul di sekitar Sirzechs-sama, kami pergi ke sana juga.

"Ara, Sona. Aku akhirnya menemukanmu. "

"Rias, mari kita melakukan yang terbaik hari ini."

Kami menyalami Sona-kaichou. Oh yeah, Sona-kaichou juga merupakan pewaris berikutnya dari keluarga iblis kelas tinggi Sitri. Jadi tidak aneh jika mereka dipanggil ke sini. Mereka mengatakan orang-orang dari keluarga yang terkenal berpartisipasi. Sepertinya Buchou tahu Sona-kaichou berpartisipasi.

Ah, itu Saji! Dia juga menyadariku dan datang untuk berbicara denganku.

"Mari kita bekerja keras untuk Iblis hari ini, Hyoudou."

"Ya, mari kita lakukan yang terbaik."

Ketika kita memiliki percakapan seperti itu, pidato Sirzechs-sama dimulai.

"Sepertinya sisi Surga dan Grigori semua penuh energi. Kita juga harus melakukan yang terbaik sehingga kita tidak kalah. Bahkan jika ini adalah kegiatan untuk meningkatkan hubungan kita, akan kasar untuk ditahan. -Jadi ayo serius. "

Sirzechs-sama memakai senyum menyegarkan. Ta-Tapi kita harus serius huh....

[ARMAGEDDON!!]

Semua iblis berteriak itu sekaligus!

Mengapa berteriak "Armageddon"!? Kedengarannya benar-benar berbahaya!

Sepertinya semua iblis antusias setelah mendengar pidato Sirzechs-sama ....

Tapi ...... aku menyadari bahwa aku dilempar ke posisi berbahaya meskipun Maou memiliki senyum yang paling damai.

...... Aku punya perasaan buruk tentang ini .......

===Bagian 3===

Itulah yang ku pikirkan, tapi hari olah raga berjalan lancar.

“Mungkin akan ada yang bertindak sebagai katalis untuk perang...?", Itu yang ku pikirkan pada awalnya saat ketakutan, tapi sekarang aku bisa bersorak untuk Iblis tanpa kawatir.

Kami bersorak untuk Iblis yang sedang berjalan di lapangan. Tikar diletakan di tempat kami bersorak, dimana kita beristirahat. Temanku yang berpartisipasi melakukan gerakan pemanasan dan menyantaikan tubuh mereka.

Aku juga mulai meregangkan tubuhku dengan Kiba. Ngomong-ngomong, Asia gak di sini. Asia yang mempunyai kekuatan penyembuh sedang bersiaga, di tenda pribadinya, untuk menyembuhkan cedera.

[Go ~ Go ~ I-B-L-I-S☆]

Orang yang sedang bersorak di depan adalah Maou, Serafall Leviathan. Dia bersorak untuk iblis dengan pakaian magical girl, selagi assistentnya menari di belakangnya.

Sekarang, waktunya “Lomba Rintang” yang akan aku ikuti.

[Siapa yang akan mengikuti Lomba Rintang,

Dipersilahkan berkumpul di area yang sudah di sediakan.]

Aku mendengar pengumuman yang baru saja di buat.

“Oke, Aku pergi.”

Aku mengatakanya pada semuanya.

“Ya, Lakukan yang terbaik.”

“Aku akan menyemangatimu.”

Setelah mendapat dorongan dari Buchou dan Akeno-san, Duo

Great Onee-sama, aku berjalan ke lokasi yang sudah di tentukan.

○ '''Lomba Rintang'''

Aku berbaris dengan peserta lainya. Tunggu……Aku di baris pertama!

Jadi aku akan jadi orang pertama yang berjalan huh….. Aku merasa tak nyaman.

[Perlombaan akan segera di mulai!]

Oh, jadi akhirnya di mulai. Aku membuat sikap siap berlari.

[Bersiap, siap………DOR!]

Aku berlari setelah mendengar suara ledakan! Sepertinya aku melakukan yang terbaik di awal! ada dua orang dari setiap fraksi, total ada enam orang berlari menuju garis finis!

Rintangannya cukup sederhana. Kami harus melewati Balok Keseimbangan, maju di bawah jaring, dan menendang berbagai jenis bola.

Normalnya kita maju dan sampai ke rintangan yang terakhir….

“Gyaooooooooooooooooooon!”

“Kyueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!”

“Gowangowan!”

Yang muncul, yang membuat teriakan berbahaya, Adalah:

…….Ular berkepala sembilan, Anjing dengan tiga kepala dan burung yang menyebar-nyebarkan sayapnya!

Apa-apa an ini!? Apa monster-monster ini di perbolehkan!? Aku sangat terkejut, bola mataku keluar! Saat ku lihat, peserta lainya membatu! termasuk aku!

Tunggu, Anjing berkepala tiga itu! bukankah itu anjing neraka yang di sebut

Cerberus!? Aku ingat itu karena aku melawanya sebelumnya!

[untuk rintangan terakhir kita menempatkan beberapa monster☆:Ular yang bisanya bisa membunuh Malaikat dan iblis, Hydra! Anjing gerbang neraka, Cerberus! Dan burung tak menyenangkan, Ziz, juga hadir! Jadi cobalah terobos monster-monster itu!]

"Menempatkan monster☆" Dasar Gila!

“Oh, apa kau Hyoudou Issei.”

Satu dari para monster berbicara padaku. Ku pikir "Aku gak punya kenalan monster", tapi naga besar itu…. itu mantan raja naga, paman Tannin!

“Pa..Paman! Kenapa kau disini?”

Paman menjawab sambil menggaruk-garukan kepalanya.

“Yah, Aku diminta untuk membatu Tiga Kekuatan Besar…….tapi sepertinya mereka ingin aku memperankan peran ini.”

Maksudmu berperan sebagai monster!? Se..sebenarnya naga juga

monster….Tapi rintangan seperti apa yang akan di buat oleh Paman, yang merupakan mantan raja naga dan Iblis Kelas Ultimate, jadi rintangan terakhir!?

“Gyaaaaa!”

[[File:High_school_dxd_v13_189.jpg|thumb]]

“Uwaaaaa!”

“Tolong Akuuu!”

Ada jeritan!

Saat ku lihat, ada malaikat jatuh yang terjerat ular, malaikat yang di bawa entah kemana oleh Burung yang tak menyenangkan! Dan ada Iblis yang sudah di telan Cerberus, kepala pertama! Mereka dalam situasi serius!

[Ooooh! Sepertinya semua peserta bermain dengan senang dengan para monster! Sangat menyenangkan melihatnya!]

Diam! Ini tidak menyenangkan! Bagaimanapun kau melihatnya, semua peserta sedang berada dalam bahaya!

“Baiklah, kau juga hadapi aku!”

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Menerima napas api yang seperti komet,aku terbungkus ledakan dan terlempar ke udara…..

○ '''Lomba Antar-Barang'''

Aku sudah babak belur saat aku kembali ke tempat dudukku, setelah di obati Asia……

Entah Bagaimana, aku berada di tempat pertama, tapi itu tak seperti aku mengalahkan paman; Aku melewati garis finis sambil di kejar olehnya….. Bahkan setelah itu, ini menjadi aktivitas yang berbahaya karena peserta terus berguguran.

[………….]

Seperti setiap sisi berada dalam tekanan dan menjadi gugup, juga.

Semua tim jadi haus darah setelah Lomba Rintang dan semua peserta memiliki mata tajam sekarang. terlebih lagi, mereka dipenuhi semangat juang, setelah mereka bertemu para monster.

Aku yakin ini akan jadi badai……

[Semua yang berpartisipasi dalam lomba antar-barang di persilahkan menuju tempat yang sudah di tentukan--]

Oh, itu pengumuman untuk mengikuti Lomba Antar-barang.

“Baiklah, Aku maju lagi.”

“…….Tolong lakukan yang terbaik.”

“Ise-senpai, tolong menangkan~!”

Menerima dorongan semangat dari kedua junior menggemaskan , Koneko-chan dan Gasper, Aku pergi ke lokasi yang di sebut medan perang.

Tolong jangan kacaukan kompentensi kali ini. Aku berbaris menunggu giliran. Giliranku; Aku berdiri di garis Start dan bersiap berlari.

[Bersiap, siap…….DOR!]

Mantap! Aku berhasil di awal!

Aku melesat ke depan dan mengambil amplop.

“Apa-apaan ini Yakitori-sensei!?”<ref>'''Yakitori-sensei''' (??????): Nama julukan teman sesama penulis Ishibumi, Dairaku Kenta. Dairaku Kenta juga adalah seorang penulis novel ringan yang di terbitkan oleh Fujimi Shobo di bawah label Fujimi Fantasia Bunko.</ref>

“Siapa di antara kalian yang Tasogareiro no Utatsukai disini!?”<ref>'''Tasogare-iro no Utatsukai''' (???????): Dalam bahasa inggris di translasi “The User(Singer) of the Colour of Dusk”. Aadalah judul novel ringan yang di terbitkan oleh Fujimi Shobo pada tahun 2007 hingga 2009. total ada 10 jilid.</ref>

Keliatanya persyaratan peserta lain juga sulit.

Sekarang, bagaimana punyaku? Ku buka amplopnya dan ku baca kertas yang ada di dalam amplop.

“…………………..”

Otakku berhenti ketika aku mengecek apa yang tertulis di kertas itu.

Hanya tertulis [Siscon<ref> '''Siscon''': Sister complex (Pencinta Sodara Cewe).</ref>]. Aku menelan ludah dan melihat kursi VIP, lalu melihat seseorang!

“Sirzechs-sama! Tolong ikut denganku!”

“Mu! Jadi aku bendanya! Baiklah, Aku mengerti!”

Aku berlari ke faris finis sambil berpegangan dengan Sirzechs-sama! Tertulis

[Peserta dari tim Iblis mendapat tempat pertama!]

Yup, Aku mendapat tempat pertama lagi! Aku buat pose kemenangan dan Sirzechs-sama Bertanya dengan wajah malu.

“Ngomong-ngomong, Ise-kun. Benda apa yang harus kau antarkan? [Maou]? [Seseorang dengan rambut crimsom]? atau mungkin itu [Onii-san]? Oh tidak, Aku merasa malu.”

“……….Ya-Yah, Pada dasarnya itu.”

Aku menjawab smbil melihat ke sisi lain.

“Hahahaha, Aku tersanjung.”

Sirzechs-sama kelihatannya sangat senang!

Aku tidak bisa memberitaunya! Tidak mungkin aku memberitaunya! Tidak mungkin aku bilang [Siscon] adalah apa yang tertuis! Serafall-sama sepertinya baik-baik saja, tapi aku akhirnya bertanya pada Sirzechs-sama! Itu karena…… dia ''adalah'' siscon! Dia menyukai Rias-buchou!

Tapi itu tidak mungkin aku bertanya! Kuputuskan, Aku akan membawa kertas ini ke kuburanku.

○ '''Permainan Lempar Bola'''

Kali ini adalah permainan lempar bola di mana mengharuskan semua peserta dari masing-masing tim berpartisipasi.

Ada keranjang yang ditempatkan di batang yang sangat panjang tempat untuk melempar bola, dengan warna tim kami, kedalamnya.

Semua yang berpartisipasi sedang bersiap, Mennunggu di mulai.

[Sekarang Permainan Lempar Bola yang di ikuti Malaikat, Iblis dan Malaikat Jatuh dimulai!]

Ku ampbil banyak boa dari tanah saat sinyal di berikan dan melemparnya ke keranjang! Aku mulai mengambil lagi, bersama Buchou dan di saat aku hendak melemparkannya lagi….

“Lemparkan cahaya ke para Ibliiiiis!”

CHUDOOOOON!

“Ini dendam masa lalu!”

DOOOOOOOON!

“Ini Armageddon, Siiiaaaalaaannn!”

“Kau mau kami memainkan seruling Gjallarhorn, huh?!”

DODODODOOOOOOOOOOON!

Sura ledakan terdengar di mana-mana dan bukan dari permainan bola, Pertempuran di mulai! Apa yang kalian lakukan!? Alih-alih melempar ke keranjang, Malaikat dan Malaikat Jatuh melemparkan Bola Cahaya ke para Iblis! Iblis membalas dengan kekuatan iblis mereka! Para malaikat jatuh bahkan mulai diam-diam menyerang malaikat!

[Malaikat dan Malaikat Jatuh berhentilah meemparkan cahaya ke pada para Iblis! Mereka akan binasa! Hey, kau! Jangan mulai lemparkan tombak cahaya seolah-olah kau sedang lempar lembing! Itu kegiatan yang sangat berbeda! Dan juga Iblis Bisakah kalian berhenti menyerang juga! Apa kalian bodah!? Apa kalian semua gila!?]

Dari suara itu, penyiar telah kehilangan akal! Ini berubah ke situasi berbahaya!

“Menyenangkan, ya kan Ise!”

Buchou benar-benar mendalaminya!

Aku benar-benar terkejut dan dua pemimpin muncul di depan mataku.

“Yo, Michael. Ini akhir mu bertemu denganku.”

“Fufufu, Hari ini kamu memiliki mata yang sama saat perang. Hanya terisi kejahatan.”

Itu Azazel-sensei dan Michael-san! Mereka saling berhadapan dan saling menunjuk juga! Mereka terlihat akan meledak!

“Yeah, ini mengingatkanku masa lalu. Kau…..Beraninya kau! Mengumumkan laporan yang ku tulis, saat aku ada di surga, di depan semua orang!”

Sensei berkata sambil melemparkan bola ke Michael-san! Sensei, Bola itu bukan untuk di lemparkan ke malaikat; Itu sesuatu yang harus kau masukan ke basket!

Michael-san menghindarinya, dan membuat senyum memprovokasi.

“Oh, Kamu bicara tentang ''itu''. Laporan kompilasi data mu , kan? Tidak hanya memiliki judul panjang dan penjelasan yang di tulis 'Laporan kompilasi Ultimate Sacred Gear yang ku pikirkan', kau juga memasukan ilustrasimu sendiri kedalamnya. Aku pikir kamu memiliki bakat yang luar biasa. Jadi aku memberikannya ke pada semua orang dalam bentuk selebaran saat perang. Aku sangat ingin semua orang melihat itu. Aku pikir namanya adalah [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade], kan? Itu benar-benar ide hebat.”

Mendengar itu, wajah sensei berubah merah dan mulai melemparkan bola lain!

“Diam! karena itu, Aku jadi dapat julakan [ Gubernur Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade] dalam grupku untuk sementara waktu kau tau!? mereka berkata, 'Hey Azazel, bisa kau kirimkan [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade] sebagai senjata rahasia?' dan 'kau mulai membasmi musung menggunakan [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade] sekarang, kan?' dan juga 'Azazel-san, dimana pisau dinnermu, yang juga di kenal [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade]?', Siaaalllaaannn!”

“Hahaha, itu salahku!”

Menghidari bola yang di lempar oleh sensei, Michael-san juga melempar bola!

…….Entah bagaimana dia punya dendam dan rasa sakit, untuk waktu yang lama. jadi waktu itu saat sensei masih muda, huh?…….. Tapi mereka berdua terlihat menikmati itu.

Lalu Akeno-san menuju Barakiel-san!

“A…Akeno……”

Melaju ke Barakiel-san yang tak tau apa yang harus dia lakukan, Akeno-san memberitaunya, sambil berpegangan tangan, dengan mata berkaca-kaca.

“……Tou-sama! Tolong bantu kami!”

itu seperti terlihat sedih, ekspresi lucu! Barakiel-san, yang mendengar itu……….

“….Uu...uooooo!”

Dia mengambil banyak bola merah, Milik tim Iblis, dan melemparkanya ke keranjang sambil berteriak!

Sensei terkejut melihatnya!

“Barakiel!? H-Hey! Apa yang kau lakukan! Lempar bola hitam!”

“Maaf Azazel! Putriku…! Akeno….! Ini semua untuk satu-satunya putriku yang ku punyaaaa!”

Barakiel-san menepis kata-kata Gubernur dan mulai bekerja keras untuk anaknya!

“Ufufu!”

Akeno-san sendiri, sedang melempar bola dengan ayahnya yang senang. Ini pasti lelucon Akeno-san, tapi sepertinya dia menikmati fakta bahwa dia mengikuti aktifitas bersama ayahnya.

“…….Tiga Kekuatan Besar mulai hilang kendali.”

Rossweisse-san berkata sambil mendesah. ya, ini benar-benar merepotkan.

○ '''Pertempuran kavaleri'''

Aktifitas selanjutnya juga termasuk pertandingan tim, Pertempuran Kavaleri.

Beberapa peserta membentuk kelompok dimana yang satu jadi "Kuda" dan yang satu, jadi "Pengendara" di atasnya. Ketegangan setiap orang dalam Tiga Kekuatan Besar jadi aneh dan sekarang berubah jadi medan perang, dengan permusuhan dan niat membunuh dimana-mana. Kami membuat dua tim: Buchou jadi pengendara, dengan Akeno-san membawa Buchou, selagi Rossweisse-san dan Koneko-chan membantu mereka dari kejauhan dan aku yang jadi pengendara, dengan Kiba membawaku, saat Gasper dan Xenovia yang membantu kami dari kejauhan.

[Pertempuran Kavaleri dimulai!]

Seiring sinyal dari penyiar, semua pengendara maju ke medan perang!

“Oryaaaaaaah! Aku akan buat bencana! Matilah, Malaikat!”

“Jangan nganggap remeh Malaikat! Kami akan memberikan penghakiman!”

“Malaikat dan Malaikat Jatuh, binasalah!”

Semua orang bertarung menggunakan kekuatan cahaya dan kekuatan iblis!? Ini perang! Ini seharusnya jadi kegiatan dimana kau menang jika kau ambil topi dari pengendara, kau tau!?

“Malaikat renkarnasi, buat formasi! Kita bisa melepaskan kekuatan kita jika kita punya kartu yang tepat! Formasi Full House!”

“Kau pikir kami akan biarkan itu! Ini pertempuran habis-habisan diantara Malaikat renkarnasi dan iblis renkarnasi!”

“Renkarnasi ini, dan renkarnasi itu! Semua dari kalian meningkatkan jumlah dengan itu! Kenapa gak ada malaikat “jatuh” ke kita, ya!?”

………Uwaa, ini benar-benar jadi perang! Bola cahaya, Tombak cahaya, Api dan halilintar, yang dibuat dari kekuatan iblis, saling lempar dimana-mana!

“Hmph! Aku gak akan kalah dari malaikat dan malaikat jatuh!”

Orang yang menjatuhkan beberapa Malaikat dan Malaikat Jatuh….kepala keluarga selanjutnya dari keluarga Great King, Sairaorg Bael-san. ……Bagaimana dia menggunakan kekuatanya itu luar biasa….

“Bagaimana kalau kita serang mereka sekarang!? Kita harus mengalahkan mereka sebelum kita kalah!”

“Tenanglah, [Ace] Irina!”

Kuda yang ditunggangi Irina sedang dalam waktu sulit, mencoba untuk memikirkan bagaimana untuk menyerang, di tanah yang telah berubah jadi kekacauan.

[Semuanya, tolong jangan lanjutkan perang ''itu'' disini! Kembali! Perang itu sepenuhnya datang lagi! Ku biang berhenti, Sialaaannn! Hyahaha--!]

Sepertinya penyiar membuat jeritan untuk sementara!

“Ini! Aku dapat topinya!”

Orang yang mengambil topi dari malaikat perempuan elegan itu Buchou. Hanya di sekitar Buchou, seperti pertempuran kavaleri yang damai….

“Oh, Ise! Jadi kau disini!”

Sensei mendekat.

“Ada apa, sensei? A..Apa kau berencana menyerangku?”

Aku jadi berhati-hati, tapi sensei mengelengkan kepalanya dan menyuruhku untuk mendekat.

Aku mendekatinya, dan mendengar apa yang dia katakan…

--! A-Apa yang baru saja kau katakan…..? Aku benar-benar tidak menyadari itu! Tunggu, Aku boleh melakukan itu!? Apa yang Sensei katakan padaku seperti baut keluar dari laut!

“Jadi seperti itu, Jadi aku serahkan padamu, Ise.”

Sensei mengirimku maju setelah meletakan tangannya dipundakku.

“……Ise-kun, Apa yang dia katakan?”

Sang Kuda, Kiba, bertanya padaku……tapi aku mengabaikannya! Aku hanya berteriak!

“Kedepan, Kiba! Percaya padaku!”

“O..Oke! Tapi kenapa kau mimisan? Apa dia memberitau sesuatu yang gak benar lagi?”

Fufufu! Dia memang punya intuisi yang hebat! Kata-kata yang dikatakan sensei membuat otakku dipenuhi keserakahan!

“Aku gak tau apa yang terjadi, tapi mari kita percaya Ise.”

“A..Aku juga akn percaya dan mengikutinya hingga akhir!”

Gasper dan Xenovia, bersedia mengikutiku! kalian hebat!

Aku tingkatkan kekuatan iblisku, dan membuat imajinasi kuat dalam kepalaku! aku lalu meletakan tanganku di depan, dan mengarahkannya pada malaikat dan malaikat jatuh!

Tapi yang aku ambil cuma perempuan!

“Maaf menelanjangimu!”

Walaupun begitu aku minta maaf pada mereka, Aku mulai menyentuh tubuh pengendar wanita! lalu aku berteriak, selagi membuat pose keren dan melepaskan kekuatan iblisku!

“Dress Break!”

STRIP STRIP STRIP STRIP STRIP STRIP!

Pakaian dari perempuan yang aku pegang mulai meledak dan jadi parade tubuh telanjang!

“Kyaaaaaaaaaa!”

“Iyaaaaaaaaaaa!”

MIMISAN! Mimisan ku mulai meledak! He-Hebat! Tak hanya Malaikat yang tak berdosa, tapi juga malaikat jatuh menggoda telanjang! Mereka semua telanjang! Oppai, pantat dan paha terlihat semua!

“Ooo!!”

Melihat itu, Laki laki dari pihak iblis dan malaikat jatuh jadi bahagian dan mulai mimisan! Di lain pihak—

“Uoooo! Te….Tubuh telanjang wanita…….! ini buruk! Jika kita memikirkan hal yang gak benar............kita akan jatuh!”

“Oppai……..Pantat……paha…….uuu! Kita akan jatuh~! Tapi kulit putih itu bersinar!”

Malaikat laki laki mulai jadi ragu-ragu dan penyakitan pada situasi erotis dan sayap mereka terus berputar hitam dan putih! Aku tau, itu karena banyak orang polos di antara para malaikat dan kemungkinan mereka akan jadi malaikat jatuh kalau mereka melihat sesuatu yang erotis! Penomena serupa terjadi pada Irina, saat dia tersiksa, yang terjadi pada mereka!

Pasti sulit jadi Malaikat! Jadi mereka akan jatuh saat mereka melihat payudara!

Aku lega aku iblis! Aku baik-baik saja gak peduli berapa banyak oppai yang kuliat! Oppai yang terbaik!

Melihat itu, Azazel-sensei tertawa keras.

“Buatlah para malaikat jauth! Buat mereka jatuh, ku katakan! Fuhahahaha! Jatuh hanya karena melihat tubuh telanjang wanita kalian memang benar-benar polos!”

Orang jahat! Sensei mendesakku untuk melakukan itu karena dia bertujuan untuk ini? Dia benar benar boss jahat sensei! ……Aku hanya digunakan olehnya! I..Itu bukan salahku! ku pikir!?

“Kami Malaikat Jatuh tidak akan bisa jatuh maupun takut akan cahaya! Kami memiliki jumlah paling kecil diantara Tiga Kekuatan Besar, tapi kita lebih unggul dalam situasi seperti ini! Fuhahaha! Sekarang, Ise! Taget mu selanjutnya dia!”

Sensei menunjuk seseorang yang cantik.

-Itu kan Seraph, Gabriel-san!

“Apa kau gak mau liat tubuh wanita tercantik di surga?’

Sensei mendesakku sekali lagi! Aku—

“Aku ingin melihatnya~!”

Aku berubah jadi binatang bernafsu bejad dan mendatangi Gabriel-san, dengan membuat kudaku mendekatinya! Tubuh telanjang wanita tercantik di surga~! Oppai milik Seraph~! oppaaaaaaaiiiii malaikat!

“ini benar-benar salah!”

“Aah, apa yang kita lakukan! Amen!”

“Uwaaaaan~!”

Meskipun mereka bingung, Kiba, Xenovia and Gasper mengikuti apa yang kuperintahkan!

“A..Ara? gentelmen Sekiryuutei akan datang dengan cara ini….”

Gabriel-san memiringkan kepalanya sambil menatap cara ini dengan mata tak berdosanya! Aaaah, aku ingin liat oppai si cantik ini! lalu aku bersiap melakukan Dress Break lagi dan—

GON!

--! Aku menerima pukulan tak terduga di wajahku……. kuda kami jadi gak stabil sebagai dampaknya, dan aku pun jatuh ke tanah…….

“……..Setiap prilaku yang menyimpang lebih jauh lagi dilarang. Naga Hentai-senpai.”

Koneko-chan meninjak kepalaku selagi membuat suara dengan kedua tangannya.

……Pukulan Koneko-chan benar-benar bekerja……

Dengan cara ini, Pertempuran Kavaleri juga berakhir seperti perang.

○ '''Pertempuran Penentuan! Lari Estefet!'''

Aktivitas Olah Raga bersama akhirnya sampai di aktifitas terakhir. Ini akan jadi lari estefet.

[Untuk masing-masing tim, peserta yang terpilih menunggu di titik-titik yang sudah ditunjukan! Sekarang, Hari Olahraga yang telah berlangsung lama mencapai klimaks!]

Penyiar membangkitkan lapangan dengan pengumumannya. Poin setiap tim cukup dekat, dan itu jadi dimana Lari Estafet terakhir ini akan menentukan pemenang.

Aku jadi jangkar dalam lari estafet ini. Aku sudah siap dalam posisi Balance Breaker.

“Fufufu, jadi kau musuhku, huh, Ise?”

“To..Tolong anggap mudah denganku….”

Jangkar pihak Malaikat Jatuh itu sensei. …….Aku hanya punya perasaan buruk tentang ini!

“Mari lakukan yang terbaik~”

Jangkar dari pihak Malaikat adalah Gabriel-san.

Aku menyesal gak bisa menggunakan Dress Break padanya di pertempuran kavaleri sebelumnya.

Sebaliknya, Aku dimarahi dengan hebat oleh Buchou dan Koneko-chan setelah pertempuran kavaleri…..

[Sekarang, pertandingan final dimualai!]

BANG!

Pistol untuk lari estapet sudah ditembakan dengan ritme BGM, peserta dari masing-masing tim berlari. Pelari pertama dari tim iblis adalah Kiba! Dengan kecepatan Dewanya, dia bisa dengan mudah menang! itu yang kupikir, namun peserta dari malaikat Jatuh menembakan cahaya ke arah Kiba! Kiba menghidarinya dengan cepat, tapi apa-apaan tindakan pengecut itu!

“Apa itu diperbolehkan!?”

Aku protes ke sensei, tapi…

“Gak liat~”

Dia mengabaikan aku! sensei mengerikan! Dia gubernur yang buruk!

Meski begitu, Lari estafet terjadi dan para peserta berlari di lapangan! Akhirnya peserta sebelum aku……Sirzechs-sama berlari! Cepaaaatt! Maou juga serius!

“Uooooooo! Aku gak akan kalah! Aku gak akan kalah di depan putriku Akeno!”

“Itu tidak akan mungkin aku, Uriel, sang “Dewa Api” kalah melawan Maou!”

Barakiel-san tertutupi oleh halilintar suci dan Uriel-san tertutupi oleh api suci hebat! Kecepatan gila mereka gak kalah dari Sirzechs-sama! Pertempuran utama di antara bos di tempat seperti ini!

Dan Sirzechs-sama akhirnya sampai padaku!

“Ku serahkan sisanya padamu, Ise-kun!”

“Ya!”

Ku ambil tongkat kecil, dan terbang ke depan selagi memicu boosters di punggungku!

“Oryaaaaah!”

Aku maju ke garis finis dengan kecepatan yang gila! Tapi--!

“Toryaaaaah! Ini adalah senjata yang kupersiapkan dalam situasi seperti ini!”

Sensei mengikutiku di belakang! Di taangannya, dia memegang pedang yang terlihat seperti campuran warna terang dan gelap!

“Ini [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade] yang kalian semua cemoohkan dariku!”

Sensei muai neghunus pedang sambil menghempaskan pemandangan di apangan dengan itu! melihat itu, pemimpin setiap fraksi shock!

“Apa!? jadi [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade] sudah selesai!?”

“Mu! jadi itu [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade]!”

Sensei mulai menyerangku dengan [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade]! Aku entah bagaimana menghidari itu! serangan yang melewatiku menembus jauh dalam tanah! kekuatan apa itu!

“Hey! Apa kau mau membunuhku!? Apa kau bisa bilang kau ini gubernur dan seorang guru!? Bukankah ini seharusnya jadi Hari Olahraga!?”

“ini Peeeraaaang! Aku gak akan kalah dari Maou dan pemimpin malaikat! aku nomor 1!”

Ini buruk! Ketenangan Sensei mulai sampai max dan berpikir ke arah yang salah!

Sensei dan aku mulai saling berhadapan di depan garis finis, dan kami mulai bertarung menggunakan tinju dan pedang!

[Oo! Guberbur Azazel dan Oppai Dragon mulai bertarung di depan garis finis!]

Bahkan penyiar bangkit!

“ini kesempatan bagus! Aku akan menguji kekuatan mu, Ise! Ayo, muridku!”

“Apa sih yang kau katakan!? Ku pukul kau, Bos terakhir-sensei!”

Aku memukul sensei tanpa ragu saat aku mengatakan itu!

“Beraninya kau, memukul ku! Kau! Kau harus memerlakukan yang lebih tua dengan lebih sedikit hormat!”

Tendangan tajam sensei mendarat tepat di kepalaku!

“Ow! Apa kau berada di sitiasi untuk mengatakan itu!?”

Selagi aku dan sensei saling menyakiti satu sama lain…..

“Aku duluan~”

Gabriel-san berlari melewati kami dan sampai di garis finis!

[Gooooooal! Orang yang berhasil menaklukkan lari Estafet ini adalah tim Malaikat!]

“ “Aaaaagh!” ”

Melihat itu, Aku dan sensei jadi terkejut! Lihat, lihat apa yang terjadi! Karena aku bertarung bersama sensei, dia melewati garis finis sebelum kita!

“Ini salahmu, sensei!”

“Tidak, Ini salahmu karena gak kalah olehku lebih cepat!”

Sensei dan aku saling melotot! Orang ini orang jahat! Dia kan gubernur malaikat jatuh!

[Oi.]

Tekanan misterius mengelilingi aku dan sensei. Saat ku liat….Para malaikat jatuh mengeilingi sensei….. Semua dari mereka mengeluarkan hawa membunuh dari tubuh mereka dan mereka melotot tajam ke sensei…… Aku gak boleh ada di sini dan menyelinap keluar diam-diam, tapi Buchou ada disana!

“Ise! Apa yang telah kau lakukan….”

Aku menundukan kepalaku selagi Buchou mendesah. Uu, Aku minta maaf. Aku terbawa oleh sensei dan menunjukan ke semuanya sesuatu yang menyedihkan…… Aku dipenuhi rasa bersalah ke reman-temanku dan sensei.

Selain aku, sensei coba melarikan diri, tapi….

“…….Azazel, ayo bicara sebentar.”

Tertangkap oleh Wakil gubernur Shemhaza, dia di seret ke arah malaikat jatuh.

“A..Aku minta maaf, Shemhaza! A…Aku sedikit sombong! Hahaha, Maafkan aku. ……..Tolong?”

Sensei meminta maaf, tapi Shemhaza berkata dengan senyum.

“Tidak.”

“Gyaaaaah!”

Ditengah tengah tim malaikat jatuh, Seorang gubernur membuat jeritan. Sensei, Tolong renungkan tindakkan mu.

Buchou kemudian membelai pipiku.

“Kamu juga harus merenungkan tindakanmu setelah kita tiba di rumah, oke? Tapi kamu hebat hari ini.”

“Ya, makasih!”

Ah, Buchou! kau benar benar mengawasiku!

Itu saja sudah layak untuk kerja kerasku hari ini!

Seperti itu, Hari Besar Olahraga berakhir dengan kemenangan tim malaikat. mungkin semua orang disetiap fraksi sudah melepas strees mereka, jadi mereka punya wajah puas di akhir.

Melihat itu, Ada sebuah diskusi “Ayo lakukan lagi tahun depan”……

Ini Hari Olahraga yang menyenangkan, Tapi aku gak mau lagi terlibat dalam acara yang berbahaya seperti ini lagi!

==Life 5: Armageddon Saat Hari Olahraga!==

===Bagian 1===

Itu terjadi tepat setelah pelatihan gunungku dengan Raiser.

Dalam perjalanan ku dari sekolah, Azazel-sensei menangkapku dan mengatakan hal ini kepadaku.

"Yo ~, Ise! Tidakkah kamu mengerakkan tubuhmu ke sekitar, dan mengenai tubuh! Jadi ada event bagus! "

Dia memasang senyum bejat ....

Dia merencanakan sesuatu .....

Bahkan melihat kembali ke masa lalu apa yang terjadi ketika ia memakai senyum seperti itu, mayoritas dari mereka semua berita buruk.

"Aku tidak mau.Sesuatu yang tidak berharga lagi kan? Aku membuat semua orang menunggu!, jadi aku akan pergi-- "

"Sekarang, tunggu! Ini event olahraga! Tidakkah kau ingin berpartisipasi dalam event olahraga? "

Sensei mengatakan itu selagi menarik lenganku.

"Ev....event olahraga........katamu?"

Aku menatapnya dengan keraguan, dan dia menarik sesuatu dari sakunya.

"Ya, event akan diadakan di antara organisasiku segera. Jadi aku ingin memanggilmu sebagai tamu. "

Organisasi itu........jadi Grigori huh? Dan kau akan membuat event olahraga? Dan aku tamu apa itu berarti dia mengundangku sebagai Oppai Dragon? ......

"Kau mengatakan itu semua tiba-tiba ..."

"Ingat yang kau katakan, kau ingin bertemu malaikat jatuh yang cantik? ....... Hey Bos, ada beberapa gadis dengan payudara besar diantara kami kau tahu.....? "

Sensei menunjukkanku beberapa foto.

Wow! Ada wanita cantik yang lebih tua dengan sayap hitam tumbuh yang melakukan pose menggoda dan mengenakan kostum!

"Ini beneran.!? A-Apa yang harus aku lakukan .... "

Aku menerima foto dan mulai menatapnya! Oh man, Setiap orang memiliki tubuh yang bagus .... Sialan, gadis ini punya payudara yang terlalu besar! Tapi dia masih memiliki kurva bagus di pinggulnya! Aku tak tahan .....!

Jika aku berpartisipasi dalam event olahraga yang disebut tadi, aku bertanya-tanya apa dia akan memperkenalkanku kepada mereka? Jika itu terjadi, aku tidak keberatan menandatangani kontrak ini ....

Lalu ketika aku hendak menerima kertas darinya ....

"Mgh! Azazel! Aku katakan padamu! Ise-kun milik pihak kita!"

Seorang pria berambut merah keluar dari bayang-bayang! Uwaa! S...Sirzechs-sama!.? Mengapa dia di tempat seperti ini? Aku keheranan tentang itu, tapi Sensei membuat desahan dengan lidahnya!

"Chi! Sepertinya Maou-sama datang! Fuhahahahahaha! Sampai jumpa!"

Sensei meninggalkan tempat ini segera setelah mengucapkan kalimat yang dikatakan oleh penjahat!

Sirzechs-sama meletakkan tangannya di bahuku dan bernapas besar.

"........ Dia pria yang tidak bisa kulepaskan mata darinya. Adikku hampir berubah jadi peserta di sisi malaikat jatuh. "

....Aku....... Aku tidak mengerti! Mengapa Sirzechs-sama datang ke sini dan mengapa Sensei lari?

Apa itu ada hubungannya dengan event olahraga yang akan menjadi bagian dari event Grigori?

Aku bertanya pada Sirzechs-sama.

"U.. Umm, Sirzechs-sama. Apa ... Apa yang terjadi? "

"Ya, aku akan menjelaskannya setelah kalian semua kelompok Rias berkumpul."

-Maou-sama yang tiba-tiba muncul di dunia manusia. Ia memutuskan akan datang ke rumahku bersama dengan Buchou dan orang lain yang baru saja kami temui tadi.

[Hari Olahraga di antara Tiga kekuatan besar!?]

Ruang tamu kediaman Hyoudou, kelompok Rias Gremory, termasuk aku sendiri, membuat suara histeris.

Sirzechs-sama yang hanya menjelaskan rinciannya minum teh dan kemudian mengangguk.

"Ya. Untuk mempererat hubungan dengan Tiga kekuatan besar lainnya, kami memutuskan akan menggunakan olahraga untuk mencapai itu. Jadi sudah diputuskan untuk melakukan event olahraga, atau dengan kata lain hari atletik. "

Jadi yang kita lakukan adalah hari atletik sebagai pertemuan untuk Tiga Kekuatan Besar....... Oh, jadi ini adalah hari atletik yang Sensei bicarakan sebelumnya? Tapi kenapa Sensei berbohong bahwa itu adalah event malaikat jatuh dan lari dari Sirzechs-sama?

"Ah, Aku juga diberitahu tentang hari atletik dari Surga sebelumnya."

Irina yang merupakan reinkarnasi malaikat mengatakan itu selagi meletakkan tangannya. Oh iya ya, Irina kan bagian dari Surga. Tentu saja dia akan diberitahu tentang hal seperti ini.

Sirzechs-sama meneruskannya sambil tersenyum.

"Tentu saja, aku ingin kalian semua berpartisipasi sebagai peserta dari sisi iblis. Ini adalah pertukaran budaya penting. Jadi aku benar-benar berharap kerjasama dari kelompok Rias Gremory. Memiliki Ise-kun yang teratas sebagai Oppai Dragon, kalian semua populer di dunia bawah. "

Mendengar itu, semua orang tampaknya memiliki kesan yang baik di atasnya sehingga mereka mengatakan "hari atletik, ya?" dan "Sepertinya menarik". Aku tidak berpikir hal ini buruk. Baik juga punya interaksi seperti ini diantara Tiga Kekuatan Besar. Karena teroris menargetkan Dunia bawah dan Surga belakangan ini, jelas tampak event seperti ini diantara aliansi akan menyebabkan peningkatan hubungan diantara mereka.

Tapi ada satu hal yang tidakku mengerti. Aku mengangkat tangan dan bertanya pada Sirzechs-sama.

"U.. Umm, apa alasan Sensei memintaku untuk bergabung dengannya?"

Sirzechs-sama menjawabku sambil tertawa.

"...... Kemungkinan besar, ia berusaha untuk memikatmu di sisi mereka dan membuatmu berpartisipasi sebagai peserta untuk sisi malaikat jatuh. Popularitas dan Sacred Gear tampaknya akan memberikan pengaruh terhadap kegiatan............ Ya ampun, Gubernur itu bertindak cepat pada titik-titik yang aneh. Grayfia berkata padaku sesuatu akan terjadi, jadi aku datang untuk memeriksamu pada hari liburku. -Dan sepertinya dia benar. "

Aku ... Apa itu benar? Jadi aku hampir menjadi peserta untuk sisi malaikat jatuh! .......Nggh, dia adalah Gubernur licik di hal-hal semacam ini! Tapi aku ingin sekali bertemu wanita erotis itu!

"........ Kau membayangkan sesuatu yang bejat sekarang kan?"

Koneko-chan yang berada di pangkuanku mulai mencubit pipiku. Sakit ......., Koneko-chan.

Lalu Buchou berdiri, dan berkata pada Sirzechs-sama.

"Aku mengerti, Onii-sama. Jika kamu baik-baik saja dengan kami, maka kami dengan senang hati akan menerima dan berpartisipasi!

Seperti ini, diputuskan kita, kelompok Gremory, akan berpartisipasi untuk hari atletik yang akan dilakukan bersama dengan para malaikat dan malaikat jatuh!

Karena kita tidak memiliki banyak interaksi dengan para malaikat dan malaikat jatuh, aku melihat ke depan pada event itu!

===Bagian 2 ===

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Kembang api hari atletik ditembak.

Kami, kelompok Gremory, datang ke stadion di mana acara dari Tiga Kekuatan Besar akan diadakan! Tempat yang akan kita gunakan adalah lapangan permainan yang sama yang digunakan untuk Ranting Game, jadi cukup luas.

Wow! Sama seperti Irina, ada malaikat bersayap putih dan sebuah cincin di atas kepala mereka, dan juga ada malaikat jatuh dengan sayap hitam!

Tentu saja ada banyak iblis di sini, tapi karena kita tidak sering bertemu malaikat dan malaikat jatuh, serasa baru dan aku semakin gugup! Setiap orang memakai kaos.

Malaikat berwarna putih, malaikat jatuh berwarna hitam, dan Iblis merah. Itu sebabnya kita juga mengenakan kaus merah.

Karena Sensei wakil dari para malaikat jatuh dan Irina peserta untuk malaikat, mereka tidak ada di sini. Jadi hanya untuk hari ini, kita musuh.

"Ah, itu Oppai Dragon. Switch Princess so cute ~. "

"Itu Sekiryuutei dan Putri Rias."

"Hellcat-chan. Aku bersemangat! "

Hanya berjalan sedikit membuat kita dapat perhatian positif dari orang-orang yang berbeda. ...... Sepertinya kita cukup diakui oleh orang-orang di antara Tiga Kekuatan Besar. Jadi ini juga berkat program tokusatsu<ref>Tokusatsu (特撮) adalah istilah dalam bahasa Jepang untuk special effects dan seringkali digunakan untuk menyebut film sci-fi/fantasi/horor live-action produksi Jepang.</ref>, ''Chichiryuutei Oppai Dragon'', ya?

-Dan, aku menemukan Irina! Dia berbicara dengan seseorang yang bersayap emas dengan suasana yang mulia tapi jika aku ingat dengan benar ...... malaikat-sama ini adalah .......

Irina menyadari kami, dan dia mendekati kami dengan pria itu sambil melambaikan tangannya ke arahku.

"Ah, Rias-san, Ise-kun, dan semua orang! Kalian semua datang! "

Pria itu tersenyum pada kami.

"Sudah begitu lama, semua orang. Ini aku, malaikat kepala Michael. Terakhir kali kita bertemu adalah negosiasi diantara Tiga Kekuatan Besar. "

Ya! Ini Michael-san yang saat ini berdiri di atas Surga! Wow, aku melihat malaikat sama-legendaris sekali lagi! Dia terlihat begitu ilahi rasanya seperti dia akan memberi kita kerusakan pada kita hanya dengan melihatnya!

"S-Sama untuk Anda juga, dan saya minta maaf menyapa Anda begitu terlambat! Halo! "

"Sudah begitu lama, Michael-sama. Terima kasih untuk mengurus kami saat itu. "

""""""Halo.""""""

Aku, Buchou dan semua orang menyambutnya pada waktu yang sama. Oh man, ucapan seorang yang di atas Surga membuatku gugup!

"Aku sangat beruntung aku bisa bertemu dengan ''Sang'' Michael-sama! Aku sangat senang bergabung dengan kelompok Gremory!"

Rossweisse-san yang bertemu Michael-san untuk pertama kalinya sangat terharu.

"Ya, mari kita bermain jujur dan adil, dan menikmati diri kita hari ini."

Bahkan tidak ada rasa sedikitpun niat jahat dalam ekspresinya yang terlihat begitu cerah. Jadi ini senyum dari Seraph kelas top ....! Sepertinya kita sedang diberkati oleh-Nya!

"Michael-sama ~. Pembukaan akan dimulai ~."

Sebuah suara tiba-tiba. Ketika aku lihat ke arah itu ... malaikat yang tampak lembut Onee-san dengan rambut keriting pirang mendekati kita! Ini adalah malaikat-sama dengan banyak sayap tumbuh dari punggungnya!

Uoooooooo! Dia super-cantik Onee-san! Dan sosok tubuhnya super bagus! Dan payudaranya yang besar! Sangat menyenangkan dia memiliki payudara besar sementara dia malaikat, dan dia terlihat begitu ilahi!
Uoooooooo! Dia Onee-san super-cantik! Dan sosok tubuhnya super bagus! Dan payudaranya besar! Sangat menyenangkan dia memiliki payudara besar selagi dia malaikat, dan dia terlihat begitu ilahi!

Michael-san meletakkan tangan di dagunya, dan sepertinya dia benar-benar lupa tentang itu.

"Oh, begitu? Waktu benar-benar berlalu dengan cepat hanya dengan menyapa para pemimpin lain. Oh, aku masih belum memperkenalkan dirinya ya. Yang di sini juga merupakan salah satu dari Empat Besar Serafim sepertiku dan-- "

"Apa kabar? Aku salah satu dari Empat Besar Serafim, dan namaku Gabriel. "

Si cantik Onee-san memperkenalkan dirinya kepada kami sambil tersenyum pada kami!

Dia tampak begitu lembut, dan senyumnya juga yang tertinggi! Dan dia adalah salah satu dari Empat Besar Serafim! Woooow!

"Dia adalah wanita paling cantik dan juga wanita terkuat di Surga, ''Sang'' Gabriel-sama! Dan dia kebetulan menjadi sangat populer di Dunia Bawah juga! "

Irina menjelaskan kepada kami dengan kebanggaan dan antusiasme. Hmm, jadi dia juga populer di Dunia bawah, huh? Nah, kalau dia Cantik, tentu saja dia akan populer.

"Bukan hanya Michael-sama, namun Gabriel-sama juga di sini ...."

"Ya, ini benar-benar hari yang luar biasa ......"

Mata Asia dan Xenovia berkilau bercahaya, dan ekspresi mereka yang benar-benar hyped<ref>1.gue kira hype itu kayak hyperactive, tapi ternyata...emang bnr sih.but 
2.gue kira hype itu tipe2 indie, hipster, dll. that aint my type.but 
3.gue kira no 2 tuh salah. dan no 1 bener But 
What your Choise</ref> sambil memegang tangan mereka bersama-sama.

Untuk mereka berdua yang terkait dengan Gereja, baik keberadaan Michael-san dan Gabriel-san yang jauh dari jangkauan mereka hidup tinggi di langit.

Y-Yah, mereka benar-benar ''adalah'' orang-orang yang benar-benar hidup di atas langit......

".........Orang no 1 Serafall Leviathan-sama diam-diam melihat Gabriel-sama sebagai saingannya."

Buchou berbisik di telingaku.

Begitukah!? Jadi Leviathan-sama melihat dirinya sebagai musuhnyanya.

"Apa itu Ise. Oh, dan Michael juga di sini. "

Azazel-sensei dalam jersey hitam datang bersama seorang pria paras yang baik.

"Oh, itu kau Azazel. Sudah begitu lama. Seperti biasa, kau terlihat energik. "

"Aku akan mengatakan itu dengan barisanku."

Oh, Sensei dan Michael-san berjabat tangan sambil tersenyum, tapi mereka melepaskan tekanan kuat di sekitar .... Ruang di antara mereka mulai terdistorsi dengan tekanan kuat mereka. Harap jangan memulai perkelahian diantara bos akhir di tempat seperti ini! Rasanya seperti bidang ini akan tertiup pergi dengan mudah!

Lebih seperti bentrokan antar organisasi telah dimulai!

"..... A ..... Akeno."

".............."

Ada getaran aneh diantara Barakiel-san dan Akeno-san ...... Dari titik berdiri mereka, sang ayah adalah pemimpin dari malaikat jatuh sementara putri berada di sisi iblis, jadi itu berarti mereka akan bersaing satu sama lain dalam kegiatan.

Mereka memiliki beberapa masalah sebelumnya, tapi seharusnya sudah ditangani dalam insiden sebelumnya .....

TERLIHAT JAUH

Akeno-san terlihat pergi tanpa mengucapkan sepatah kata pun. Barakiel-san yang melihat itu sepertinya ia berada dalam shock berat dan mulutnya terbuka lebar. Akeno-san membuat wajah nakal sambil tersenyum dan menjulurkan lidah jadi hanya kita yang bisa lihat.

Ah, jadi dia hanya menggoda ayahnya. Aku lega kedua ayah dan anak dapat bergaul dengan baik.

[Untuk semua peserta dari masing-masing fraksi, pembukaan akan dimulai di tengah lapangan, jadi harap berkumpul. Saya ulangi--]

Oh, itu pengumuman. Sepertinya pembukaan kegiatan olahraga akan dimulai sekarang.

Para peserta dari masing-masing faksi semua berkumpul di pusat. Tim dibagi menjadi tiga tim dari malaikat, malaikat jatuh, dan iblis dan kami berbaris di jalur iblis.

[Umm, saya di sini menyatakan dan berjanji bahwa saya akan bersaing dengan orang lain dengan adil dan konvesionil dan akan mengikuti kehormatan sportivitas.]

Orang yang mewakili seluruh peserta memberikan sumpah dan pembukaan itu sudah berakhir.

Jika aku ingat, mereka mengikuti acara olahraga dari sistem Jepang. Jadi setiap program yang disesuaikan dengan prosedur yang sama.

..........Hmm, melihat dari buklet<ref>Pamflet atau buklet adalah terbitan tidak berkala yang dapat terdiri dari satu hingga sejumlah kecil halaman, tidak terkait dengan terbitan lain, dan selesai dalam sekali terbit. Halamannya sering dijadikan satu (antara lain dengan stapler, benang, atau kawat), biasanya memiliki sampul, tapi tidak menggunakan jilid keras. Menurut definisi UNESCO, brosur adalah terbitan tidak berkala yang tidak dijilid, lengkap (dalam satu kali terbitan), memiliki paling sedikit 5 halaman tetapi tidak lebih dari 48 halaman, di luar perhitungan sampul.</ref>, itu pasti memang aktivitas Jepang seperti "Barang-pinjaman berjalan" dan "Roti-makan dan berjalan" ......

Aku menemukan ini agak aneh dan aku memiringkan kepalaku, dan lalu Kiba menjelaskannya kepadaku.

"Sepertinya mereka sedang melakukan kegiatan ini karena mereka menemukan kegiatan acara olahraga Jepang yang menarik. Ingat bagaimana ada sebuah festival olahraga di Kuou Academy? Orang berafiliasi dengan aliansi itu diam-diam di sana. Sepertinya mereka bersenang-senang menontonnya. "

Hmm, jadi ada orang-orang yang terkait dengan Tiga Kekuatan Besar di sana huh.

Upacara pembukaan selesai dan kami pindah ke kursi pesorak untuk masing-masing sisi. Kegiatan yang aku akan ikuti adalah "Balap Halangan" dan "Berlari Item-pinjaman".

Dan mereka memintaku untuk berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan "Tim estafet" tahu? Sirzechs-sama memberiku tawaran yang dia ingin aku untuk berpartisipasi dan berkata aku bahkan dapat menggunakan Balance-Breaker.

Dan aku berpartisipasi sebagai tim adalah "Permainan bola lempar" dan "pertempuran Kavaleri".

Di depanku pada area tempat duduk kami, aku pergi melewati tim malaikat jatuh dan ....

Azazel-sensei dalam jersey hitam memberikan pidato kuat untuk tim Malaikay jatuhnya.

"Dengar, kalian semua. -Ini adalah perang yang juga dikenal sebagai program pertukaran. Jadi aku tidak akan mengeluh jika kalian jadi gila. Bahkan jika kita membentuk aliansi, kalian harus memiliki begitu banyak hal yang kau ingin katakan pada para malaikat dan iblis. Hal-hal seperti seperti item di Surga terlalu mahal dan orang orang iblis terlalu berisik saat pertukaran. Jadi kau harus menjaga begitu banyak stres dalam dirimu. Jadi gila seperti yang kau inginkan saat ini. -Aku akan membiarkan hal itu! "

[OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!]

Seiring dengan teriakan energik, ....... Aku juga mendengar beberapa raungan kesedihan! Maksudku malaikat jatuh mata mereka bersinar sangat misterius! Jadi mereka memiliki begitu banyak hal dalam diri mereka yang ingin katakan kepada para malaikat dan iblis?

Dan tim malaikat di kaus putih yang berkumpul di samping tim malaikat jatuh.

"Hahaha, malaikat jatuh sangat energik."

Ada beberapa respon negatif dari para malaikat yang menyaksikan pembicaraan tim malaikat jatuh.

"Kami mungkin jadi "jatuh" jika kita pergi bersama dengan aliran mereka ......!"

"Ini akan berakhir jika kita "jatuh" bahkan sekali, jadi aku harap malaikat jatuh dan iblis memahami itu.....!"

Sepertinya malaikat juga memiliki hal-hal yang mereka ingin katakan kepada para malaikat jatuh .....

"Dengarkan baik-baik, semua orang."

Michael-san memancarkan aura emas berbahaya dari tubuhnya sambil tersenyum.

"Ini seperti latihan biasa kita. -Berikan hukuman ilahi pada bidat. Kita punya tugas untuk mengikuti pekerjaan dari -almarhum Tuhan. -Beri mereka "Cahaya". "

[Tuan! Beri mereka penghakiman!]

Bukankah kalian semua hanya mengatakan hal-hal seperti Ca ... Cahaya dan ... penghakiman .....? Ini terlalu menakutkan! Bukankah ini acara olahraga yang berubah menjadi Perang perwakilan antara faksi sekarang ......?

Karena iblis berkumpul di sekitar Sirzechs-sama, kami pergi ke sana juga.

"Ara, Sona. Aku akhirnya menemukanmu. "

"Rias, mari kita melakukan yang terbaik hari ini."

Kami menyalami Sona-kaichou. Oh yeah, Sona-kaichou juga merupakan pewaris berikutnya dari keluarga iblis kelas tinggi Sitri. Jadi tidak aneh jika mereka dipanggil ke sini. Mereka mengatakan orang-orang dari keluarga yang terkenal berpartisipasi. Sepertinya Buchou tahu Sona-kaichou berpartisipasi.

Ah, itu Saji! Dia juga menyadariku dan datang untuk berbicara denganku.

"Mari kita bekerja keras untuk Iblis hari ini, Hyoudou."

"Ya, mari kita lakukan yang terbaik."

Ketika kita memiliki percakapan seperti itu, pidato Sirzechs-sama dimulai.

"Sepertinya sisi Surga dan Grigori semua penuh energi. Kita juga harus melakukan yang terbaik sehingga kita tidak kalah. Bahkan jika ini adalah kegiatan untuk meningkatkan hubungan kita, akan kasar untuk ditahan. -Jadi ayo serius. "

Sirzechs-sama memakai senyum menyegarkan. Ta-Tapi kita harus serius huh....

[ARMAGEDDON!!]

Semua iblis berteriak itu sekaligus!

Mengapa berteriak "Armageddon"!? Kedengarannya benar-benar berbahaya!

Sepertinya semua iblis antusias setelah mendengar pidato Sirzechs-sama ....

Tapi ...... aku menyadari bahwa aku dilempar ke posisi berbahaya meskipun Maou memiliki senyum yang paling damai.

...... Aku punya perasaan buruk tentang ini .......

===Bagian 3===

Itulah yang ku pikirkan, tapi hari olah raga berjalan lancar.

“Mungkin akan ada yang bertindak sebagai katalis untuk perang...?", Itu yang ku pikirkan pada awalnya saat ketakutan, tapi sekarang aku bisa bersorak untuk Iblis tanpa kawatir.

Kami bersorak untuk Iblis yang sedang berjalan di lapangan. Tikar diletakan di tempat kami bersorak, dimana kita beristirahat. Temanku yang berpartisipasi melakukan gerakan pemanasan dan menyantaikan tubuh mereka.

Aku juga mulai meregangkan tubuhku dengan Kiba. Ngomong-ngomong, Asia gak di sini. Asia yang mempunyai kekuatan penyembuh sedang bersiaga, di tenda pribadinya, untuk menyembuhkan cedera.

[Go ~ Go ~ I-B-L-I-S☆]

Orang yang sedang bersorak di depan adalah Maou, Serafall Leviathan. Dia bersorak untuk iblis dengan pakaian magical girl, selagi assistentnya menari di belakangnya.

Sekarang, waktunya “Lomba Rintang” yang akan aku ikuti.

[Siapa yang akan mengikuti Lomba Rintang,

Dipersilahkan berkumpul di area yang sudah di sediakan.]

Aku mendengar pengumuman yang baru saja di buat.

“Oke, Aku pergi.”

Aku mengatakanya pada semuanya.

“Ya, Lakukan yang terbaik.”

“Aku akan menyemangatimu.”

Setelah mendapat dorongan dari Buchou dan Akeno-san, Duo

Great Onee-sama, aku berjalan ke lokasi yang sudah di tentukan.

○ '''Lomba Rintang'''

Aku berbaris dengan peserta lainya. Tunggu……Aku di baris pertama!

Jadi aku akan jadi orang pertama yang berjalan huh….. Aku merasa tak nyaman.

[Perlombaan akan segera di mulai!]

Oh, jadi akhirnya di mulai. Aku membuat sikap siap berlari.

[Bersiap, siap………DOR!]

Aku berlari setelah mendengar suara ledakan! Sepertinya aku melakukan yang terbaik di awal! ada dua orang dari setiap fraksi, total ada enam orang berlari menuju garis finis!

Rintangannya cukup sederhana. Kami harus melewati Balok Keseimbangan, maju di bawah jaring, dan menendang berbagai jenis bola.

Normalnya kita maju dan sampai ke rintangan yang terakhir….

“Gyaooooooooooooooooooon!”

“Kyueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!”

“Gowangowan!”

Yang muncul, yang membuat teriakan berbahaya, Adalah:

…….Ular berkepala sembilan, Anjing dengan tiga kepala dan burung yang menyebar-nyebarkan sayapnya!

Apa-apa an ini!? Apa monster-monster ini di perbolehkan!? Aku sangat terkejut, bola mataku keluar! Saat ku lihat, peserta lainya membatu! termasuk aku!

Tunggu, Anjing berkepala tiga itu! bukankah itu anjing neraka yang di sebut

Cerberus!? Aku ingat itu karena aku melawanya sebelumnya!

[untuk rintangan terakhir kita menempatkan beberapa monster☆:Ular yang bisanya bisa membunuh Malaikat dan iblis, Hydra! Anjing gerbang neraka, Cerberus! Dan burung tak menyenangkan, Ziz, juga hadir! Jadi cobalah terobos monster-monster itu!]

"Menempatkan monster☆" Dasar Gila!

“Oh, apa kau Hyoudou Issei.”

Satu dari para monster berbicara padaku. Ku pikir "Aku gak punya kenalan monster", tapi naga besar itu…. itu mantan raja naga, paman Tannin!

“Pa..Paman! Kenapa kau disini?”

Paman menjawab sambil menggaruk-garukan kepalanya.

“Yah, Aku diminta untuk membatu Tiga Kekuatan Besar…….tapi sepertinya mereka ingin aku memperankan peran ini.”

Maksudmu berperan sebagai monster!? Se..sebenarnya naga juga

monster….Tapi rintangan seperti apa yang akan di buat oleh Paman, yang merupakan mantan raja naga dan Iblis Kelas Ultimate, jadi rintangan terakhir!?

“Gyaaaaa!”

[[File:High_school_dxd_v13_189.jpg|thumb]]

“Uwaaaaa!”

“Tolong Akuuu!”

Ada jeritan!

Saat ku lihat, ada malaikat jatuh yang terjerat ular, malaikat yang di bawa entah kemana oleh Burung yang tak menyenangkan! Dan ada Iblis yang sudah di telan Cerberus, kepala pertama! Mereka dalam situasi serius!

[Ooooh! Sepertinya semua peserta bermain dengan senang dengan para monster! Sangat menyenangkan melihatnya!]

Diam! Ini tidak menyenangkan! Bagaimanapun kau melihatnya, semua peserta sedang berada dalam bahaya!

“Baiklah, kau juga hadapi aku!”

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Menerima napas api yang seperti komet,aku terbungkus ledakan dan terlempar ke udara…..

○ '''Lomba Antar-Barang'''

Aku sudah babak belur saat aku kembali ke tempat dudukku, setelah di obati Asia……

Entah Bagaimana, aku berada di tempat pertama, tapi itu tak seperti aku mengalahkan paman; Aku melewati garis finis sambil di kejar olehnya….. Bahkan setelah itu, ini menjadi aktivitas yang berbahaya karena peserta terus berguguran.

[………….]

Seperti setiap sisi berada dalam tekanan dan menjadi gugup, juga.

Semua tim jadi haus darah setelah Lomba Rintang dan semua peserta memiliki mata tajam sekarang. terlebih lagi, mereka dipenuhi semangat juang, setelah mereka bertemu para monster.

Aku yakin ini akan jadi badai……

[Semua yang berpartisipasi dalam lomba antar-barang di persilahkan menuju tempat yang sudah di tentukan--]

Oh, itu pengumuman untuk mengikuti Lomba Antar-barang.

“Baiklah, Aku maju lagi.”

“…….Tolong lakukan yang terbaik.”

“Ise-senpai, tolong menangkan~!”

Menerima dorongan semangat dari kedua junior menggemaskan , Koneko-chan dan Gasper, Aku pergi ke lokasi yang di sebut medan perang.

Tolong jangan kacaukan kompentensi kali ini. Aku berbaris menunggu giliran. Giliranku; Aku berdiri di garis Start dan bersiap berlari.

[Bersiap, siap…….DOR!]

Mantap! Aku berhasil di awal!

Aku melesat ke depan dan mengambil amplop.

“Apa-apaan ini Yakitori-sensei!?”<ref>'''Yakitori-sensei''' (??????): Nama julukan teman sesama penulis Ishibumi, Dairaku Kenta. Dairaku Kenta juga adalah seorang penulis novel ringan yang di terbitkan oleh Fujimi Shobo di bawah label Fujimi Fantasia Bunko.</ref>

“Siapa di antara kalian yang Tasogareiro no Utatsukai disini!?”<ref>'''Tasogare-iro no Utatsukai''' (???????): Dalam bahasa inggris di translasi “The User(Singer) of the Colour of Dusk”. Aadalah judul novel ringan yang di terbitkan oleh Fujimi Shobo pada tahun 2007 hingga 2009. total ada 10 jilid.</ref>

Keliatanya persyaratan peserta lain juga sulit.

Sekarang, bagaimana punyaku? Ku buka amplopnya dan ku baca kertas yang ada di dalam amplop.

“…………………..”

Otakku berhenti ketika aku mengecek apa yang tertulis di kertas itu.

Hanya tertulis [Siscon<ref> '''Siscon''': Sister complex (Pencinta Sodara Cewe).</ref>]. Aku menelan ludah dan melihat kursi VIP, lalu melihat seseorang!

“Sirzechs-sama! Tolong ikut denganku!”

“Mu! Jadi aku bendanya! Baiklah, Aku mengerti!”

Aku berlari ke faris finis sambil berpegangan dengan Sirzechs-sama! Tertulis

[Peserta dari tim Iblis mendapat tempat pertama!]

Yup, Aku mendapat tempat pertama lagi! Aku buat pose kemenangan dan Sirzechs-sama Bertanya dengan wajah malu.

“Ngomong-ngomong, Ise-kun. Benda apa yang harus kau antarkan? [Maou]? [Seseorang dengan rambut crimsom]? atau mungkin itu [Onii-san]? Oh tidak, Aku merasa malu.”

“……….Ya-Yah, Pada dasarnya itu.”

Aku menjawab smbil melihat ke sisi lain.

“Hahahaha, Aku tersanjung.”

Sirzechs-sama kelihatannya sangat senang!

Aku tidak bisa memberitaunya! Tidak mungkin aku memberitaunya! Tidak mungkin aku bilang [Siscon] adalah apa yang tertuis! Serafall-sama sepertinya baik-baik saja, tapi aku akhirnya bertanya pada Sirzechs-sama! Itu karena…… dia ''adalah'' siscon! Dia menyukai Rias-buchou!

Tapi itu tidak mungkin aku bertanya! Kuputuskan, Aku akan membawa kertas ini ke kuburanku.

○ '''Permainan Lempar Bola'''

Kali ini adalah permainan lempar bola di mana mengharuskan semua peserta dari masing-masing tim berpartisipasi.

Ada keranjang yang ditempatkan di batang yang sangat panjang tempat untuk melempar bola, dengan warna tim kami, kedalamnya.

Semua yang berpartisipasi sedang bersiap, Mennunggu di mulai.

[Sekarang Permainan Lempar Bola yang di ikuti Malaikat, Iblis dan Malaikat Jatuh dimulai!]

Ku ampbil banyak boa dari tanah saat sinyal di berikan dan melemparnya ke keranjang! Aku mulai mengambil lagi, bersama Buchou dan di saat aku hendak melemparkannya lagi….

“Lemparkan cahaya ke para Ibliiiiis!”

CHUDOOOOON!

“Ini dendam masa lalu!”

DOOOOOOOON!

“Ini Armageddon, Siiiaaaalaaannn!”

“Kau mau kami memainkan seruling Gjallarhorn, huh?!”

DODODODOOOOOOOOOOON!

Sura ledakan terdengar di mana-mana dan bukan dari permainan bola, Pertempuran di mulai! Apa yang kalian lakukan!? Alih-alih melempar ke keranjang, Malaikat dan Malaikat Jatuh melemparkan Bola Cahaya ke para Iblis! Iblis membalas dengan kekuatan iblis mereka! Para malaikat jatuh bahkan mulai diam-diam menyerang malaikat!

[Malaikat dan Malaikat Jatuh berhentilah meemparkan cahaya ke pada para Iblis! Mereka akan binasa! Hey, kau! Jangan mulai lemparkan tombak cahaya seolah-olah kau sedang lempar lembing! Itu kegiatan yang sangat berbeda! Dan juga Iblis Bisakah kalian berhenti menyerang juga! Apa kalian bodah!? Apa kalian semua gila!?]

Dari suara itu, penyiar telah kehilangan akal! Ini berubah ke situasi berbahaya!

“Menyenangkan, ya kan Ise!”

Buchou benar-benar mendalaminya!

Aku benar-benar terkejut dan dua pemimpin muncul di depan mataku.

“Yo, Michael. Ini akhir mu bertemu denganku.”

“Fufufu, Hari ini kamu memiliki mata yang sama saat perang. Hanya terisi kejahatan.”

Itu Azazel-sensei dan Michael-san! Mereka saling berhadapan dan saling menunjuk juga! Mereka terlihat akan meledak!

“Yeah, ini mengingatkanku masa lalu. Kau…..Beraninya kau! Mengumumkan laporan yang ku tulis, saat aku ada di surga, di depan semua orang!”

Sensei berkata sambil melemparkan bola ke Michael-san! Sensei, Bola itu bukan untuk di lemparkan ke malaikat; Itu sesuatu yang harus kau masukan ke basket!

Michael-san menghindarinya, dan membuat senyum memprovokasi.

“Oh, Kamu bicara tentang ''itu''. Laporan kompilasi data mu , kan? Tidak hanya memiliki judul panjang dan penjelasan yang di tulis 'Laporan kompilasi Ultimate Sacred Gear yang ku pikirkan', kau juga memasukan ilustrasimu sendiri kedalamnya. Aku pikir kamu memiliki bakat yang luar biasa. Jadi aku memberikannya ke pada semua orang dalam bentuk selebaran saat perang. Aku sangat ingin semua orang melihat itu. Aku pikir namanya adalah [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade], kan? Itu benar-benar ide hebat.”

Mendengar itu, wajah sensei berubah merah dan mulai melemparkan bola lain!

“Diam! karena itu, Aku jadi dapat julakan [ Gubernur Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade] dalam grupku untuk sementara waktu kau tau!? mereka berkata, 'Hey Azazel, bisa kau kirimkan [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade] sebagai senjata rahasia?' dan 'kau mulai membasmi musung menggunakan [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade] sekarang, kan?' dan juga 'Azazel-san, dimana pisau dinnermu, yang juga di kenal [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade]?', Siaaalllaaannn!”

“Hahaha, itu salahku!”

Menghidari bola yang di lempar oleh sensei, Michael-san juga melempar bola!

…….Entah bagaimana dia punya dendam dan rasa sakit, untuk waktu yang lama. jadi waktu itu saat sensei masih muda, huh?…….. Tapi mereka berdua terlihat menikmati itu.

Lalu Akeno-san menuju Barakiel-san!

“A…Akeno……”

Melaju ke Barakiel-san yang tak tau apa yang harus dia lakukan, Akeno-san memberitaunya, sambil berpegangan tangan, dengan mata berkaca-kaca.

“……Tou-sama! Tolong bantu kami!”

itu seperti terlihat sedih, ekspresi lucu! Barakiel-san, yang mendengar itu……….

“….Uu...uooooo!”

Dia mengambil banyak bola merah, Milik tim Iblis, dan melemparkanya ke keranjang sambil berteriak!

Sensei terkejut melihatnya!

“Barakiel!? H-Hey! Apa yang kau lakukan! Lempar bola hitam!”

“Maaf Azazel! Putriku…! Akeno….! Ini semua untuk satu-satunya putriku yang ku punyaaaa!”

Barakiel-san menepis kata-kata Gubernur dan mulai bekerja keras untuk anaknya!

“Ufufu!”

Akeno-san sendiri, sedang melempar bola dengan ayahnya yang senang. Ini pasti lelucon Akeno-san, tapi sepertinya dia menikmati fakta bahwa dia mengikuti aktifitas bersama ayahnya.

“…….Tiga Kekuatan Besar mulai hilang kendali.”

Rossweisse-san berkata sambil mendesah. ya, ini benar-benar merepotkan.

○ '''Pertempuran kavaleri'''

Aktifitas selanjutnya juga termasuk pertandingan tim, Pertempuran Kavaleri.

Beberapa peserta membentuk kelompok dimana yang satu jadi "Kuda" dan yang satu, jadi "Pengendara" di atasnya. Ketegangan setiap orang dalam Tiga Kekuatan Besar jadi aneh dan sekarang berubah jadi medan perang, dengan permusuhan dan niat membunuh dimana-mana. Kami membuat dua tim: Buchou jadi pengendara, dengan Akeno-san membawa Buchou, selagi Rossweisse-san dan Koneko-chan membantu mereka dari kejauhan dan aku yang jadi pengendara, dengan Kiba membawaku, saat Gasper dan Xenovia yang membantu kami dari kejauhan.

[Pertempuran Kavaleri dimulai!]

Seiring sinyal dari penyiar, semua pengendara maju ke medan perang!

“Oryaaaaaaah! Aku akan buat bencana! Matilah, Malaikat!”

“Jangan nganggap remeh Malaikat! Kami akan memberikan penghakiman!”

“Malaikat dan Malaikat Jatuh, binasalah!”

Semua orang bertarung menggunakan kekuatan cahaya dan kekuatan iblis!? Ini perang! Ini seharusnya jadi kegiatan dimana kau menang jika kau ambil topi dari pengendara, kau tau!?

“Malaikat renkarnasi, buat formasi! Kita bisa melepaskan kekuatan kita jika kita punya kartu yang tepat! Formasi Full House!”

“Kau pikir kami akan biarkan itu! Ini pertempuran habis-habisan diantara Malaikat renkarnasi dan iblis renkarnasi!”

“Renkarnasi ini, dan renkarnasi itu! Semua dari kalian meningkatkan jumlah dengan itu! Kenapa gak ada malaikat “jatuh” ke kita, ya!?”

………Uwaa, ini benar-benar jadi perang! Bola cahaya, Tombak cahaya, Api dan halilintar, yang dibuat dari kekuatan iblis, saling lempar dimana-mana!

“Hmph! Aku gak akan kalah dari malaikat dan malaikat jatuh!”

Orang yang menjatuhkan beberapa Malaikat dan Malaikat Jatuh….kepala keluarga selanjutnya dari keluarga Great King, Sairaorg Bael-san. ……Bagaimana dia menggunakan kekuatanya itu luar biasa….

“Bagaimana kalau kita serang mereka sekarang!? Kita harus mengalahkan mereka sebelum kita kalah!”

“Tenanglah, [Ace] Irina!”

Kuda yang ditunggangi Irina sedang dalam waktu sulit, mencoba untuk memikirkan bagaimana untuk menyerang, di tanah yang telah berubah jadi kekacauan.

[Semuanya, tolong jangan lanjutkan perang ''itu'' disini! Kembali! Perang itu sepenuhnya datang lagi! Ku biang berhenti, Sialaaannn! Hyahaha--!]

Sepertinya penyiar membuat jeritan untuk sementara!

“Ini! Aku dapat topinya!”

Orang yang mengambil topi dari malaikat perempuan elegan itu Buchou. Hanya di sekitar Buchou, seperti pertempuran kavaleri yang damai….

“Oh, Ise! Jadi kau disini!”

Sensei mendekat.

“Ada apa, sensei? A..Apa kau berencana menyerangku?”

Aku jadi berhati-hati, tapi sensei mengelengkan kepalanya dan menyuruhku untuk mendekat.

Aku mendekatinya, dan mendengar apa yang dia katakan…

--! A-Apa yang baru saja kau katakan…..? Aku benar-benar tidak menyadari itu! Tunggu, Aku boleh melakukan itu!? Apa yang Sensei katakan padaku seperti baut keluar dari laut!

“Jadi seperti itu, Jadi aku serahkan padamu, Ise.”

Sensei mengirimku maju setelah meletakan tangannya dipundakku.

“……Ise-kun, Apa yang dia katakan?”

Sang Kuda, Kiba, bertanya padaku……tapi aku mengabaikannya! Aku hanya berteriak!

“Kedepan, Kiba! Percaya padaku!”

“O..Oke! Tapi kenapa kau mimisan? Apa dia memberitau sesuatu yang gak benar lagi?”

Fufufu! Dia memang punya intuisi yang hebat! Kata-kata yang dikatakan sensei membuat otakku dipenuhi keserakahan!

“Aku gak tau apa yang terjadi, tapi mari kita percaya Ise.”

“A..Aku juga akn percaya dan mengikutinya hingga akhir!”

Gasper dan Xenovia, bersedia mengikutiku! kalian hebat!

Aku tingkatkan kekuatan iblisku, dan membuat imajinasi kuat dalam kepalaku! aku lalu meletakan tanganku di depan, dan mengarahkannya pada malaikat dan malaikat jatuh!

Tapi yang aku ambil cuma perempuan!

“Maaf menelanjangimu!”

Walaupun begitu aku minta maaf pada mereka, Aku mulai menyentuh tubuh pengendar wanita! lalu aku berteriak, selagi membuat pose keren dan melepaskan kekuatan iblisku!

“Dress Break!”

STRIP STRIP STRIP STRIP STRIP STRIP!

Pakaian dari perempuan yang aku pegang mulai meledak dan jadi parade tubuh telanjang!

“Kyaaaaaaaaaa!”

“Iyaaaaaaaaaaa!”

MIMISAN! Mimisan ku mulai meledak! He-Hebat! Tak hanya Malaikat yang tak berdosa, tapi juga malaikat jatuh menggoda telanjang! Mereka semua telanjang! Oppai, pantat dan paha terlihat semua!

“Ooo!!”

Melihat itu, Laki laki dari pihak iblis dan malaikat jatuh jadi bahagian dan mulai mimisan! Di lain pihak—

“Uoooo! Te….Tubuh telanjang wanita…….! ini buruk! Jika kita memikirkan hal yang gak benar............kita akan jatuh!”

“Oppai……..Pantat……paha…….uuu! Kita akan jatuh~! Tapi kulit putih itu bersinar!”

Malaikat laki laki mulai jadi ragu-ragu dan penyakitan pada situasi erotis dan sayap mereka terus berputar hitam dan putih! Aku tau, itu karena banyak orang polos di antara para malaikat dan kemungkinan mereka akan jadi malaikat jatuh kalau mereka melihat sesuatu yang erotis! Penomena serupa terjadi pada Irina, saat dia tersiksa, yang terjadi pada mereka!

Pasti sulit jadi Malaikat! Jadi mereka akan jatuh saat mereka melihat payudara!

Aku lega aku iblis! Aku baik-baik saja gak peduli berapa banyak oppai yang kuliat! Oppai yang terbaik!

Melihat itu, Azazel-sensei tertawa keras.

“Buatlah para malaikat jauth! Buat mereka jatuh, ku katakan! Fuhahahaha! Jatuh hanya karena melihat tubuh telanjang wanita kalian memang benar-benar polos!”

Orang jahat! Sensei mendesakku untuk melakukan itu karena dia bertujuan untuk ini? Dia benar benar boss jahat sensei! ……Aku hanya digunakan olehnya! I..Itu bukan salahku! ku pikir!?

“Kami Malaikat Jatuh tidak akan bisa jatuh maupun takut akan cahaya! Kami memiliki jumlah paling kecil diantara Tiga Kekuatan Besar, tapi kita lebih unggul dalam situasi seperti ini! Fuhahaha! Sekarang, Ise! Taget mu selanjutnya dia!”

Sensei menunjuk seseorang yang cantik.

-Itu kan Seraph, Gabriel-san!

“Apa kau gak mau liat tubuh wanita tercantik di surga?’

Sensei mendesakku sekali lagi! Aku—

“Aku ingin melihatnya~!”

Aku berubah jadi binatang bernafsu bejad dan mendatangi Gabriel-san, dengan membuat kudaku mendekatinya! Tubuh telanjang wanita tercantik di surga~! Oppai milik Seraph~! oppaaaaaaaiiiii malaikat!

“ini benar-benar salah!”

“Aah, apa yang kita lakukan! Amen!”

“Uwaaaaan~!”

Meskipun mereka bingung, Kiba, Xenovia and Gasper mengikuti apa yang kuperintahkan!

“A..Ara? gentelmen Sekiryuutei akan datang dengan cara ini….”

Gabriel-san memiringkan kepalanya sambil menatap cara ini dengan mata tak berdosanya! Aaaah, aku ingin liat oppai si cantik ini! lalu aku bersiap melakukan Dress Break lagi dan—

GON!

--! Aku menerima pukulan tak terduga di wajahku……. kuda kami jadi gak stabil sebagai dampaknya, dan aku pun jatuh ke tanah…….

“……..Setiap prilaku yang menyimpang lebih jauh lagi dilarang. Naga Hentai-senpai.”

Koneko-chan meninjak kepalaku selagi membuat suara dengan kedua tangannya.

……Pukulan Koneko-chan benar-benar bekerja……

Dengan cara ini, Pertempuran Kavaleri juga berakhir seperti perang.

○ '''Pertempuran Penentuan! Lari Estefet!'''

Aktivitas Olah Raga bersama akhirnya sampai di aktifitas terakhir. Ini akan jadi lari estefet.

[Untuk masing-masing tim, peserta yang terpilih menunggu di titik-titik yang sudah ditunjukan! Sekarang, Hari Olahraga yang telah berlangsung lama mencapai klimaks!]

Penyiar membangkitkan lapangan dengan pengumumannya. Poin setiap tim cukup dekat, dan itu jadi dimana Lari Estafet terakhir ini akan menentukan pemenang.

Aku jadi jangkar dalam lari estafet ini. Aku sudah siap dalam posisi Balance Breaker.

“Fufufu, jadi kau musuhku, huh, Ise?”

“To..Tolong anggap mudah denganku….”

Jangkar pihak Malaikat Jatuh itu sensei. …….Aku hanya punya perasaan buruk tentang ini!

“Mari lakukan yang terbaik~”

Jangkar dari pihak Malaikat adalah Gabriel-san.

Aku menyesal gak bisa menggunakan Dress Break padanya di pertempuran kavaleri sebelumnya.

Sebaliknya, Aku dimarahi dengan hebat oleh Buchou dan Koneko-chan setelah pertempuran kavaleri…..

[Sekarang, pertandingan final dimualai!]

BANG!

Pistol untuk lari estapet sudah ditembakan dengan ritme BGM, peserta dari masing-masing tim berlari. Pelari pertama dari tim iblis adalah Kiba! Dengan kecepatan Dewanya, dia bisa dengan mudah menang! itu yang kupikir, namun peserta dari malaikat Jatuh menembakan cahaya ke arah Kiba! Kiba menghidarinya dengan cepat, tapi apa-apaan tindakan pengecut itu!

“Apa itu diperbolehkan!?”

Aku protes ke sensei, tapi…

“Gak liat~”

Dia mengabaikan aku! sensei mengerikan! Dia gubernur yang buruk!

Meski begitu, Lari estafet terjadi dan para peserta berlari di lapangan! Akhirnya peserta sebelum aku……Sirzechs-sama berlari! Cepaaaatt! Maou juga serius!

“Uooooooo! Aku gak akan kalah! Aku gak akan kalah di depan putriku Akeno!”

“Itu tidak akan mungkin aku, Uriel, sang “Dewa Api” kalah melawan Maou!”

Barakiel-san tertutupi oleh halilintar suci dan Uriel-san tertutupi oleh api suci hebat! Kecepatan gila mereka gak kalah dari Sirzechs-sama! Pertempuran utama di antara bos di tempat seperti ini!

Dan Sirzechs-sama akhirnya sampai padaku!

“Ku serahkan sisanya padamu, Ise-kun!”

“Ya!”

Ku ambil tongkat kecil, dan terbang ke depan selagi memicu boosters di punggungku!

“Oryaaaaah!”

Aku maju ke garis finis dengan kecepatan yang gila! Tapi--!

“Toryaaaaah! Ini adalah senjata yang kupersiapkan dalam situasi seperti ini!”

Sensei mengikutiku di belakang! Di taangannya, dia memegang pedang yang terlihat seperti campuran warna terang dan gelap!

“Ini [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade] yang kalian semua cemoohkan dariku!”

Sensei muai neghunus pedang sambil menghempaskan pemandangan di apangan dengan itu! melihat itu, pemimpin setiap fraksi shock!

“Apa!? jadi [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade] sudah selesai!?”

“Mu! jadi itu [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade]!”

Sensei mulai menyerangku dengan [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade]! Aku entah bagaimana menghidari itu! serangan yang melewatiku menembus jauh dalam tanah! kekuatan apa itu!

“Hey! Apa kau mau membunuhku!? Apa kau bisa bilang kau ini gubernur dan seorang guru!? Bukankah ini seharusnya jadi Hari Olahraga!?”

“ini Peeeraaaang! Aku gak akan kalah dari Maou dan pemimpin malaikat! aku nomor 1!”

Ini buruk! Ketenangan Sensei mulai sampai max dan berpikir ke arah yang salah!

Sensei dan aku mulai saling berhadapan di depan garis finis, dan kami mulai bertarung menggunakan tinju dan pedang!

[Oo! Guberbur Azazel dan Oppai Dragon mulai bertarung di depan garis finis!]

Bahkan penyiar bangkit!

“ini kesempatan bagus! Aku akan menguji kekuatan mu, Ise! Ayo, muridku!”

“Apa sih yang kau katakan!? Ku pukul kau, Bos terakhir-sensei!”

Aku memukul sensei tanpa ragu saat aku mengatakan itu!

“Beraninya kau, memukul ku! Kau! Kau harus memerlakukan yang lebih tua dengan lebih sedikit hormat!”

Tendangan tajam sensei mendarat tepat di kepalaku!

“Ow! Apa kau berada di sitiasi untuk mengatakan itu!?”

Selagi aku dan sensei saling menyakiti satu sama lain…..

“Aku duluan~”

Gabriel-san berlari melewati kami dan sampai di garis finis!

[Gooooooal! Orang yang berhasil menaklukkan lari Estafet ini adalah tim Malaikat!]

“ “Aaaaagh!” ”

Melihat itu, Aku dan sensei jadi terkejut! Lihat, lihat apa yang terjadi! Karena aku bertarung bersama sensei, dia melewati garis finis sebelum kita!

“Ini salahmu, sensei!”

“Tidak, Ini salahmu karena gak kalah olehku lebih cepat!”

Sensei dan aku saling melotot! Orang ini orang jahat! Dia kan gubernur malaikat jatuh!

[Oi.]

Tekanan misterius mengelilingi aku dan sensei. Saat ku liat….Para malaikat jatuh mengeilingi sensei….. Semua dari mereka mengeluarkan hawa membunuh dari tubuh mereka dan mereka melotot tajam ke sensei…… Aku gak boleh ada di sini dan menyelinap keluar diam-diam, tapi Buchou ada disana!

“Ise! Apa yang telah kau lakukan….”

Aku menundukan kepalaku selagi Buchou mendesah. Uu, Aku minta maaf. Aku terbawa oleh sensei dan menunjukan ke semuanya sesuatu yang menyedihkan…… Aku dipenuhi rasa bersalah ke reman-temanku dan sensei.

Selain aku, sensei coba melarikan diri, tapi….

“…….Azazel, ayo bicara sebentar.”

Tertangkap oleh Wakil gubernur Shemhaza, dia di seret ke arah malaikat jatuh.

“A..Aku minta maaf, Shemhaza! A…Aku sedikit sombong! Hahaha, Maafkan aku. ……..Tolong?”

Sensei meminta maaf, tapi Shemhaza berkata dengan senyum.

“Tidak.”

“Gyaaaaah!”

Ditengah tengah tim malaikat jatuh, Seorang gubernur membuat jeritan. Sensei, Tolong renungkan tindakkan mu.

Buchou kemudian membelai pipiku.

“Kamu juga harus merenungkan tindakanmu setelah kita tiba di rumah, oke? Tapi kamu hebat hari ini.”

“Ya, makasih!”

Ah, Buchou! kau benar benar mengawasiku!

Itu saja sudah layak untuk kerja kerasku hari ini!

Seperti itu, Hari Besar Olahraga berakhir dengan kemenangan tim malaikat. mungkin semua orang disetiap fraksi sudah melepas strees mereka, jadi mereka punya wajah puas di akhir.

Melihat itu, Ada sebuah diskusi “Ayo lakukan lagi tahun depan”……

Ini Hari Olahraga yang menyenangkan, Tapi aku gak mau lagi terlibat dalam acara yang berbahaya seperti ini lagi!

172.69.55.25: /* Part 5 */

==Chapter 5 - Chaotic Aerial Battle==

===Part 1===

Kehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Carrying Kamito and Ellis, the flying demon wind spirit let loose a howl that tore through the air.

The thunderous sound turned into a supersonic blade, slashing at the Holy Kingdom's militarized spirits.

Flying through the air while scattering particles of light, Simorgh's gallant form looked like a legendary-class spirit.

"So this is Simorgh's true power!?"

Sitting on the back of the giant sacred bird, Kamito could not help but exclaim.

He knew Ellis' Ray Hawk was a powerful elemental waffe, but he never imagined the spirit form to exhibit such strength too—

"Simorgh, it looks like you can finally bring out your true strength."

With her blue ponytail fluttering in the wind, Ellis stroked Simorgh's strong and thick neck.

Simorgh happily crowed and accelerated with a flap of his wings.

Naturally, the dramatic increase in power of the contracted spirit was inseparable from her own talent.

Ellis was exuding astounding divine power from all over her body.

"Ellis, let's charge in all at once."

"Yes, understood!"

"W-Wait! Hwahhhhhh!"

"...?"

"What's wrong?"

Hearing the scream from behind, Kamito and Ellis looked back at the same time.

"...What is she doing?"

Ellis murmured with puzzlement.

Clad in crimson armor, Einherjar, Claire was spinning randomly around the Revenant, leaving a trail of fire behind her.

"Looks like she hasn't gotten used to using her elemental waffe's second release."

"...I see. After all, flying in the air is difficult for someone without an affinity for the wind element."

Ellis nodded.

"Oh well, she will get used to it soon enough. She is a genius after all."

"Yes, that's true."

Kamito decided to ignore the out-of-control Claire for now.

After all, with Leonora present, they should be okay.

"—Let us go, Kamito. Hold on tight."

Facing forward, Ellis spoke sternly.

The elite troops of the Sacred Spirit Knights, in formation in front of the Holy Capital, initiated a charge.

The spirit knights were wearing shining silver-white armor.

They were riding winged military horses—Pegasus, the militarized spirit for aerial combat.

These were second-generation militarized spirits also used by the Ordesia Empire's Airborne Knights.

Although these military horses were not as durable as dragon spirits, their speed made them quite difficult to deal with.

However, there was no hesitation in Ellis' eyes as she controlled Simorgh.

After all, she was now riding the fastest wind spirit in Astral Zero.

"—O legendary demon bird that devours the wind, hunt mine enemy!"

A cyclone was generated. With Ellis pouring divine power into him, Simorgh flapped his wings and swiftly soared, charging straight for the Sacred Spirit Knights' ranks.

The instant they crossed, Simorgh's sharp claws tore apart the winged horses' wings.

The Sacred Spirit Knights' formation was disrupted. Even though the captain issued orders to attack, Simorgh had already disappeared from view.

"—Above!"

A sacred knight called out.

Kehhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Like a blade of wind, Simorgh tore through the clouds and charged at the knights again.

"E-Ellis!?"

"Kamito, do not fall off!"

Holding onto Kamito's arm, Ellis pushed him to lean further forward for a lower stance.

Her blue hair, which seemed to meld with the sky, was fluttering wildly in the wind.

The Sacred Spirit Knights readied their elemental waffen spears to intercept the charge.

Erecting a formation of spears, they chanted spirit magic.

This was multiple invocation of the supreme holy spell—Last Judgment.

(...! Spell superposition is the Sacred Spirit Knights' specialty.)

Kamito immediately made the call and grabbed Ellis by the sleeve.

"Ellis, dodge!"

"...!

In that instant, the sacred knights raised their spears to release blinding brightness, shooting countless blades of light.

Simorgh instantly swerved hard to turn around.

Faced with a rain of light blades, Simorgh weaved through them to evade.

The flashes of light brushed past his wings, causing white feathers to scatter in the air.

"—! The second wave is coming."

Looking down below, Ellis said.

"Leave it to me—"

With one arm securely holding onto Ellis' waist, Kamito used his other hand to draw out the Vorpal Sword.

From the jet-black blade that no light reflected from, Kamito poured in divine power of darkness to produce dim light.

"Let's go, Restia—"

Responding to Kamito's voice, the blade erupted with violent black lightning.

"O demon lightning of annihilation, pierce mine enemy—Vorpal Blast!"

With a flash of black light, jet-black lightning raced through the air, striking the Sacred Spirit Knights who had their spears raised.

A direct hit from the black lightning attack caused several Pegasus spirits to vanish into particles of light, leaving their sacred knight riders to fall. Losing control, the activation of Last Judgment failed.

"Ellis, let's charge again before they regroup their formation!"

"Yes—"

The instant Ellis nodded...

(...!?)

A shadow suddenly descended from overhead. Kamito looked up.

"—I found you!"

Emerging from between the clouds was a paladin wielding a silver-white holy sword.

Instead of a Pegasus, she was riding a Griffin, a flying militarized spirit from an older era.

"...You're Luminaris!?"

"—Fight me, Ren Ashbell!"

Riding her Griffin, Paladin Luminaris charged downwards at Kamito.

===Part 2===

"W-Wait, Scarlet, I can't fly!"

'Calm down, Master... Meow!'

Weaving through the curtain of projectiles fired by the ''Revanant'', Claire was flying haphazardly.

Intense flames were pouring out in the form of wings.

The flames traced out a curve in the air. Just when Claire thought she would stop at last, she accelerated all at once, almost getting shot by Velsaria's full barrage by accident.

The elemental waffe Einherjar's immense power was making her spin in circles.

"Stop, Scarlet! Or else you'll get nothing but dried fish for dinner!"

'No—'

Although Claire shook her twintails and shouted loudly, the out-of-control flames did not stop.

With an unbalanced posture, she rushed out all at once—

"Hwahhhhhhhhh!"

Just as she flew past a sacred knight, she knocked the knight off her Pegasus.

She felt the impact. However, protected by Einherjar, Claire was completely unharmed.

"W-Well done!"

'...Uh, Master, we are surrounded.'

"Huh?"

Surprised, Claire looked around her, only to see the Holy Kingdom's knights had encircled her.

Claire instantly readied Flametongue.

However, it was too late. The sacred knights all chanted spirit magic of light at the same time.

'Master, deploy Fire Wall—'

"...! No, there's no time!"

Claire tried firing her back thrusters to evade. However, her elemental waffe did not respond.

Just as the countless spears of light were going to pierce Claire—

In that very instant...

"O freezing fangs of ice, pierce—Freezing Arrow!"

Shining arrows of ice poured down from the clouds, shooting down the spears of light all at once.

Shattered fragments of transparent ice danced in the air like diamond dust.

"...! Rinslet!?"

Surprised, Claire looked behind her.

Rinslet was standing there gallantly with her bow drawn and arrow notched, on the deck of the flying ship.

"No way, I can't believe she shot down everything, from that far away—"

"Hmph, this is my second release—Hróðvitnir!"

Rinslet's platinum blonde hair fluttered in the wind.

Held in her hand, her longbow was glittering like blue ice.

The length of the bow even surpassed her height, allowing her to notch as many as five arrows simultaneously.

"Demon ice spirit Fenrir, demonstrate your power!"

At Rinslet's command, the longbow curved greatly.

With the release of her fingers, the ice projectiles unleashed from the bowstring poured down like a rainstorm.

The rain of arrows accurately pierced the wings of the militarized spirits. Losing their mounts the sacred knights screamed and fell.

Seizing this opportunity, Claire fired her back thrusters and increased her altitude in one go to escape encirclement.

"Th-Thanks, Rinslet—"

Although Rinslet probably could not hear her, Claire still expressed her gratitude.

On the deck, Rinslet tossed her hair.

—Claire Rouge, my rival, is this the best you can do?

Her lips seemed to be saying that.

"...! I can't lose to her."

Claire bit her lip. Tranquil flames rose up in her ruby-like eyes.

She closed her eyes and focused quietly.

She poured divine power into Flametongue in her hand.

She poured in the Demon King's power that she had received from Kamito.
[[image:STnBD V20 BW06.jpg|thumb]]

Instead of trying to control the blazing flame in her heart, she imagined herself as fire itself.

'Master, incoming attack—'

Scarlet's voice sounded in her mind.

Hearing that, Claire immediately opened her eyes and swung Flametongue.

"All of you, turn into charcoal!"

A crimson slash swept across the sky—

The incoming spears of light, as well as the sacred knights behind them, every last one was struck down.

===Part 3===

"—Fight me, Ren Ashbell!"

A body of a lion and the wings of an eagle.

Luminaris' mount, the Griffin, launched a surprise attack from overhead.

"...! An ambush!?"

Ellis widened her eyes in surprise.

Simorgh twisted his massive body, trying to evade the attack.

"—Murgleis!"

However, Luminaris swung her holy sword, leaving a deep wound on the demon wind spirit's wing.

Feathers of pure white scattered in the air like petals.

"Simorgh!"

Ellis cried out.

Losing balance due to the wounded wing, Simorgh circled while gliding through the air.

The pressure of gravity increased all at once, almost causing Kamito to fall off.

"...! O wind!"

Ellis chanted wind magic to produce a small rising air current, lifting one wing.

However—

"Ellis right above!"

"...!

The shadow of a gigantic magic beast appeared silently overhead.

(...She's catching up to Ellis' Simorgh!?)

Sacrificing stability as a trade-off, Luminaris' mount—an older generation militarized spirit, the Griffin—was somewhat faster than the Pegasus. Be that as it may, this speed was too—

(Nothing less expected from the Holy Kingdom's strongest knight, huh?)

It was combat instinct built upon abundant battle experience.

Predicting what Ellis would do after evading the initial attacks, Luminaris had circled around in advance.

"—O Wind, sweep away mine enemies, Wind Bombs!"

Ellis immediately released spirit magic to intercept Luminaris.

However, Luminaris used her holy sword to slice apart the howling gale.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Murgleis glowed with brilliant holy light.

Claaaaaang!

Kamito blocked the potent sword strike.

(Crap—)

However, even though he blocked the sword, it was not enough to dissipate the force.

Kamito was not sitting very securely to begin with, and ended up blown away into the air by the impact.

"Kamito!"

Ellis stretched out her hand but could not reach him.

After leaving the effective range of the wind barrier, he instantly fell with gravity's pull.

(...! I'll fall to my death at this rate... I have to take a gamble!)

Whiling falling, Kamito closed his eyes and concentrated, circulating divine power of darkness throughout his body.

It was possible in theory, but he had never actually tried it.

However, Kamito as he was right now was confident.

"Hahhhhhhhhhhh!"

Opening all the circulating channels in his body, he released refined divine power in one go.

In that instant, Kamito's body emitted black light and suddenly stopped in midair.

"Ha, only after trying do I realize it's easier than I imagined."

Remaining suspended in midair, Kamito muttered.

"Wha—"

"W-What!?"

Ellis and Luminaris both exclaimed in surprise.

"Impossible. To hover in midair simply by releasing divine power without relying on the power of spirits—!?"

"There is nothing to be surprised about. It's just a physical technique that uses divine power."

Among the assassination techniques learned by Kamito at the Instructional School, there was a move named Water Lily that enabled unfettered movement in water. This counted as a versatile application of it.

Of course, though it was easy for Kamito to say, hovering in the air through the release of divine power was an act requiring high levels of concentration and precise control, and impossible to execute without vast amounts of divine power.

No elementalist could achieve it apart from Kamito who possessed all the necessary requirements.

"Although I still need to put in some work to get used to it, there happens to be some to practice with—"

Readying his black and white swords in a stance, he boasted arrogantly.

"...! Damn you—!"

Luminaris intensified her blood lust.

"Ellis, it looks like she wants a duel with me. Leave this to me."

"Are you going to be okay?"

"Yeah, I'm entrusting the ship to you."

"...Understood."

After a moment's hesitation...

Ellis disappeared into the clouds, riding Simorgh.

Her firm trust in Kamito was very evident.

She strongly believed that Kamito would not lose—

Luminaris did not even glance at Ellis as she left the battlefield.

She only had eyes for Kamito—Ren Ashbell, the Strongest Blade Dancer she had crossed swords with three years ago.

From intensity of her gaze, Kamito could feel her determination.

"Sorry, there's not a lot of time. Bring it on, Luminaris."

"Here I come, Ren Ashbell!"

The holy light emitted by the elemental waffe Murgleis turned the sky white.

===Part 4===

"Oh dear, my disciple is becoming less and less human."

On the deck of the ''Revenant'', Greyworth smiled wryly.

She was watching Kamito and Luminaris performing an airborne blade dance. Even back in her prime, Greyworth most likely would not have been able to move in the air like Kamito by releasing divine power.

"...! The ship's barrier has been breached!"

Queen Reicha's voice resounded across the deck. Riding military steeds, the sacred knights used their elemental waffen to slice open the barrier, storming into the ship one after another.

"Oh my—"

Muttering, Greyworth calmly drew out her demon sword, Vlad Dracul.

The bloodstained demon sword glowed ominously.

"Our opponent is the Dusk Witch. Attack, all three of us!"

"Hmph, I'm being underestimated."

The flash of a crimson slash. The sacred knights attacking from three different directions, together with their militarized spirit mounts, were instantly chopped down.

Absolute Blade Arts, Third Form—Shadowmoon Waltz, Asura.

—This was an anti-personnel Absolute Blade Art designed for one-to-many combat.

Greyworth looked down at the unconscious sacred knights.

"I held back too."

She sighed, murmuring to herself.

The Dusk Witch had slain many elementalists during the two Ranbal Wars in the past.

Back then, she would not have offered any mercy to enemies attacking with the intent to kill.

Just as she withdrew her demon sword, she felt a bone-splitting pain in her wrist.

"Sure enough, this body can't execute the Absolute Blade Arts fully, huh?"

Greyworth spoke in self-mockery.

On the eve of the Blade Dance tournament's final round, when she had passed on the ultimate technique, Last Strike, to Kamito, her body had been injured to the point of practically losing all combat ability.

"...! Charge, chop off the witch's head!"

Another two sacred knights breached the barrier and charged at Greyworth.

They showed no fear even when facing the Dusk Witch.

They were not afraid of sacrificing themselves for the Holy Lord.

"Hopeless fools."

She whispered, pouring divine power into the demon sword gripped tightly in her hand.

Just then.

"—Drag Slash!"

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

With the sound of thunder akin to a giant dragon's roar, a flash of lightning pierced the sacred knights.

"...What?"

Greyworth frowned and looked up.

"Am I interfering unnecessarily, Dame Greyworth?"

A giant shadow appeared on the deck, accompanied by a strong gust of wind.

It was Leonora Lancaster, riding her jet-black dragon spirit, Nidhogg.

"The dragon lass, huh..."

Greyworth looked surprised.

She was supposed to be responsible for the enemies on the starboard side—

"Enemies on starboard are all annihilated."

"No way—"

Hearing Leonora's swift response. even Greyworth could not help but raise an eyebrow.

The Sacred Spirit Knights were undoubtedly the Holy Kingdom's strongest elite troops.

(And yet singlehandedly, she—)

Leonora's eyes had turned blood-red.

She had activated Dragon Blood, the ability native to dragon elementalists.

"You have improved much, compared to that time, dragon lass."

"Yes, I am much stronger."

Leonora acknowledged it simply.

Previously, the two of them had fought at the Dragon's Canyon in Dracunia.

Although her memories from that time remained unclear, Greyworth remember severely injuring Leonora with one strike of the sword when she tried to defend the Dragon King.

(According to rumors, contractors of dragon spirits would become stronger every time they recovered from near-death—)

But Greyworth never expected that the divine power she was sensing from Leonora would be powerful enough to make the air shake.

"I hope for a chance to have a rematch with you, Dame Greyworth."

"I am ready any time, dragon lass—"

Greyworth stabbed her demon sword into the floor and smiled fearlessly.

"But my disciple is who you really want to fight, right?"

"...Indeed."

Leonora shrugged and looked out into the distant sky.

Her gaze was directed at Kamito, shrouded in the divine power of darkness, currently in an intense aerial blade dance, fighting Paladin Luminaris who was riding a militarized spirit.

===Part 5===

Luminaris Saint Leisched.

The runner up at the Blade Dance three years ago, the Holy Kingdom's strongest elementalist.

Reflected in her ice-blue eyes was the image of Ren Ashbell, superimposed upon Kamito.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Luminaris' mount, the Griffin, dashed downwards all at once.

The elemental waffe Murgleis glowed with blinding light.

Confronted with a heavy sword attack from above, Kamito blocked using the Demon Slayer.

A clash of blades. Metallic noise echoed.

The impact spread throughout the atmosphere, sweeping away the surrounding clouds.

While releasing divine power to maintain his state of flight, Kamito counterattacked in the meantime.

However, the Vorpal Sword, shrouded in dark light, was deflected by her holy sword.

(...She's very strong.)

Kamito admitted in his heart.

Luminaris was using the very pinnacle of knightly swordsmanship. Her performance at the Blade Dance was below par probably because she prioritized executing the Holy Kingdom's mission.

This swordsmanship was Luminaris going all out.

Her true ability, what Ren Ashbell had experienced three years ago.

Of course, compared to three years ago, her swordsmanship had improved substantially.

Most likely, she must have gone through grueling training, for the sake of a rematch against Ren Ashbell on the Blade Dance stage. A single round of combat was enough for Kamito to understand this.

"You have improved, Luminaris."

"Cut the small talk!"

With an angry roar, Luminaris swung her holy sword down.

The brilliant holy light sliced through the divine power of darkness on Kamito's body.

Murgleis was a holy sword with ultimate anti-darkness properties, capable of neutralizing Restia's darkness magic.

While parrying the slash, Kamito released divine power and pulled back to create some distance.

Fighting while releasing divine power in the air was like performing acrobatics.

The divine power that ought to be fully concentrated in the elemental waffen was diverted.

The Griffin spread its wings and roared threateningly.

Faced with the incoming sword strike, Kamito blocked with a sword again.

Sparks flew intensely as the blades clashed.

"Luminaris, the Holy Lord intends to destroy the world, you know?"

Unlike the Sacred Knights following the Holy Lord with blind loyalty, her eyes shone with her own noble light.

"I know, this is me being stubborn—"

Luminaris poked fun at herself.

"Before this world disappears, I wish to leave behind proof that I have lived, as a knight. Namely, a blade dance with you, Ren Ashbell!"

"...!?"

The holy sword in Luminaris' hand glowed with stronger brightness.

(...An elemental waffe's second release!?)

"Crush and pulverize, O light of Carbuncle—Sante Luminus!"

Luminaris attacked with all her might.

Kamito could have evaded, but he chose to take on the sword.

It was a righteous and regal sword.

The clear and pure light was blinding.

"—So this is your sword, Luminaris."

"...!"

—Her determination. Her pride as a knight. Kamito could feel all of it.

He responded based on what he had felt.

"Absolute Blade Arts, Seventh Form—Biting Dragon!"

The attack flashed, like the ascension of a flying dragon through the sky.

It was an anti-air Absolute Blade Art.

Originally, it was not meant to be executed while one was in midair.

However, Kamito had forcibly performed it, fully releasing the divine power of darkness.

His sacred sword's blade—

Severed Murgleis and penetrated her silver-white armor.

Luminaris smiled faintly.

The final Absolute Blade Art, it was his farewell of sorts.

"I—"

Luminaris fell towards the Holy Capital.

But given her abilities, she should be fine.

Kamito threw a glance in that direction. Just then...

'—Kamito, incoming.'

Est warned.

Instantly, he sensed an astounding power in the center of the Holy Capital, rapidly expanding.

"...! Est! Restia!"

===Part 6===

—At the center of Alexandria the Holy Capital...

A flash of light shot out from a pure white tower, severing clouds, tearing the sky apart.

Kamito's figure was swallowed in the sword of light.

"—! Kamito-kun!"

On the deck with her elemental waffe deployed, Fianna screamed.

It was the same light from the sacred sword that had shattered the land of Ragna Ys.

The scene was replayed in her mind.

Her emotional turmoil caused cracks in the barrier surrounding the flying ship.

(...No, I must pull myself together!)

''He will surely be fine''.

Fianna encouraged herself and focused her attention on maintaining Save the Queen.

"Senpai, we are about to make contact with the Holy Capital's barrier! Five, four, three—"

Reicha raised her voice.

The Holy Capital's city gate loomed near.

The Revenant's battering ram struck the transparent barrier covering the Holy Capital, producing sparks.

"Then we will ram it just like that! Raise the barrier to the maximum!"

" " " "Yes!" " " "

The four Queens replied simultaneousluy.

(...How odd.)

Mocked as the Lost Queen in the past, she was now directing the Queens in battle.

Back in the days when she locked herself away in the castle and refused to come out, she never would have imagined the arrival of such a day.

It was Ren Ashbell's blade dance that had changed her.

It was him who had given her the strength to pull herself together.

She was worried about Kamito, but now was not the time to be distracted.

(Kamito-kun did entrust matters over here to me!)

Sparks flew. The Revenant's hull was being deflected by the barrier.

"...! As expected of the Holy Capital's barrier. It is no pushover—"

"Fianna-senpai, the flying ship's output has dropped!"

Reicha cried out.

The barrier was interfering with the drive reactor's spirit crystals.

Velsaria, in charge for controlling the military ship, was presumably taking on a lot of physical strain too.

(...! I have to take a gamble.)

Fianna drew out her elemental waffe rapier that was stabbed in the floor.

She pointed the tip at the Holy Capital's wall.

"Danger, Senpai!"

Seeing Fianna walking towards the ship's bow, Reicha tried to stop her.

"Do not worry. Reicha, you and the others keep maintaining the barrier—"

However, Fianna remained unfazed and walked over there.

Then—

"—Knight spirit Georgios of the royal house, demonstrate your true power!"

The rapier exploded with the light of divine power.

Elemental waffe second release—Crimson Glory.
[[image:STnBD V20 BW07.jpg|thumb]]

The protective power of Save the Queen was concentrated on the rapier's tip as the light of destruction.

Released, the holy light pierced the barrier, tearing a huge opening in it.

"...! Amazing!"

Reicha exclaimed.

—However, the barrier did not disappear.

At this rate, it would probably recover soon.

Fianna took out two small jewel fragments from her bosom.

Spirit crystals as red as blood.

(I wanted to use these as ultimate weapons on the Holy Lord himself—)

Blood Stones were top-level spirit crystals that only came from the sacred sanctuary of Astral Zero.

When setting off from the imperial capital, she had secretly taken these ultimate treasures of the Ordesia imperial family.

The last time she released this spirit, it almost destroyed the Gado mine.

"—Protect the ship, everybody!"

"Yes!"

"—Thou art the sword of punishment that buries darkness, holy lord of destruction, Magna Carta!"

Aiming at the breach in the barrier, she unleashed the power of the Blood Stone.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The released power of holiness and purity broke the Holy Capital's barrier.

"The barrier has vanished. Charge!"

The Revenant's battering ram smashed through the city wall and entered the capital.

"Kamito-kun..."

Having exhausted her divine power and collapsed on the floor, Fianna looked up at the sky.

===Part 7===

"...! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The gigantic sword of light, enough to pierce the sky, swung straight down.

It was the blade of Terminus Est, the ultimate spirit weapon.

The torrent of blinding light swallowed Kamito's bosdy.

(...Damn, it—)

Kamito released all of his divine power of darkness to take on the sword of light.

"Est, can you hold!?"

His view turned pure white. In the vicious torrent, Kamito cried out.

'—Yes... Kami... to—'

Est's voice replied in his mind, almost inaudible due to interference from the surrounding noise.

From the blade of the Demon Slayer came the sound of cracks.

''Est alone won't hold''.

Kamito made a split-second decision and pressed the demon sword of darkness against the sacred sword's blade.

The sword spirit of steel and the darkness spirit. The two crossed swords pushed back the torrent of light.

"Kuh, ohhhhhhhhhhh...!"

The erupting holy light tore apart the divine power of darkness on Kamito's body.

He felt the intense pain of scorched skin all over his body. It was unbearable.

However, Kamito could not take even a single step back. If he failed to block, the descending sword of light would probably split the ''Revenant'' into two.

'Kamito, wear this—'

Restia summoned a piece of black fabric out from thin air.

"...!?"

Shaped like the dark night, the black garment draped over Kamito's body like an overcoat.

It was the Robe of the Lord, inherited from Solomon himself at the Demon King City. This legendary artifact, possessing top-level magic resistance, emitted dark light that protected Kamito.

(...Restia, you saved me—!)

Clad in the black garment, Kamito entered an Absolute Blade Arts stance in midair.

He focused divine power on both swords, swinging the crossed swords in one go.

"Absolute Blade Arts, Alternate Form—Shadow Mirror Dead Water!"

It was a counterattack sword skill derived from the Last Strike, the ultimate mystic technique.

The flash of the blade was like a mirror, reflecting power back—!

Claaaaaang!

The sound of glass shattering resounded all around,

The sword of light cracked, turning into countless shooting stars pouring down on the forest in the land below.

The sound of explosions kept happening. Massive pillars of fire rose from the forest.

"...! What amazing destructive power...!"

Panting, Kamito groaned.

Turned into a tattered rag, the Robe of the Lord completely vanished into the wind.

This was the power of the legendary spirit weapon, Terminus Est.

Staring at the Holy Lord Palace at the center of the Holy Capital—

Kamito fell just like that.

Having released all of his divine power in one go, he had lost the power to remain in midair.

(...! Crap—!)

"—Kamito!"

The instant he fell, someone grabbed his arm.

He looked up, only to see Ellis riding Simorgh.

"Ellis... Sorry, looks like you saved my life—"

"...Yes, I am glad you are fine."

Pulled up by Ellis, Kamito grabbed onto one of Simorgh's wings.

Flying next to them was Claire with her wings of fire.

"Fianna seems to have destroyed the barrier."

Looking down, they could see that the ''Revenant'' had broken the city wall and rammed into the city.

"We should head over there too."

"Yes."

Ellis nodded. Just then...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM...!

Thunderous rumbling shook the whole surroundings.

"...! What is that!?"

172.69.55.25: /* Part 2 */

==Chapter 7 - Two Sacred Swords==

===Part 1===

Listening to the rumbling wind behind him, Kamito dashed towards the Holy Lord Palace.

His entire body was hurting intensely from the injuries sustained when breaking through the wind barrier. Without Est's protection of steel, he probably would have been carved into pieces by the wind blades.

(...I need to hurry—)

The Otherworldly void in the sky above the Holy Lord Palace was slowly expanding.

Despite his worries, Kamito did not look back.

The girls trusted in Kamito.

Hence, Kamito must trust them too and continue forward.

He kicked the ground hard, exploding the divine power gathered at the soles of his feet. While crushing stone tiles underfoot, Kamito kept sprinting towards the Holy Lord Palace.

Sensing massive divine power, guardian spirits appeared one after another to block his path.

"Get out of my way!"

However, Kamito cut down each and every one of them with a single blow without getting slowed down at all.

Every time Kamito swung his two swords, spirits turned into particles of light and vanished.

After taking care of dozens of guardian spirits—

Kamito arrived at the bottom of a tower of pure white, towering over a vast courtyard.

The Holy Lord Palace.

This was the great shrine built for worshiping Holy Lord Alexandros.

The final enemy was on this tower.

(...No elementalists guarding this tower, huh?)

Kamito searched the surroundings for presences, but could not find any tracde of the Sacred Knights.

There did not seem to be any militarized spirits deployed in the area either.

Going closer to take a look, he still could not find anything like an entrance.

In front of him was just a smooth polished wall of white.

Kamito swung the Demon Slayer.

Sliced open by the sword, the wall collapsed with a loud crash.

"..."

Stepping inside, Kamito instantly had a strange feeling.

Sound vanished. The howling storm sounded very far away now. Even battle noises from Greyworth's group and the Earth Elemental Lord could no longer be heard—

It felt as though the entire space was isolated.

He looked back, only to see that the white wall had been restored without any signs of destruction.

"...What? Did I get teleported?"

Kamito checked out his surroundings with suspicion—

In front of him was a familiar-looking corridor.

'—Due to Astral Shift's influence, it looks like the Holy Lord Palace's interior space has overlapped with the Elemental Lords' shrine.'

His left hand's spirit seal glowed. He heard Restia's voice.

"...I see."

Muttering, Kamito walked towards the corridor.

On two separate occasions, Kamito had walked through the corridor leading to the Elemental Lords' shrine.

The first time was with Restia.

The second time was with his Team Scarlet companions—

After walking along the corridor for some time, that strange feeling surrounded his body again.

Appearing before his eyes was a grand set of stairs.

—Stairs leading to the thrones of the Elemental Lords.

Last time, that was where he had personally stabbed Restia.

Kamito readied his two swords and stepped on the stairs.

Looking up, he could see three pillars of light reaching to the top of the sky.

After getting on the stairs—

What appeared before his eyes was not the shrine of the Elemental Lords but a wide open hall made of stone.

It was even bigger than the circular training ground at the Academy.

There was no roof over the great hall, only the void crack pierced by pillars of light. At the base of the light pillars, he could see the thrones of the Elemental Lords corrupted by the Otherworldly Darkness.

And at the center of the five thrones, on the throne that used to be empty—

"—Perfect timing, Ren Ashdoll's successor. Welcome."

The Sacred Maiden wielding the sacred sword—Areishia, i.e. Alexandros—smiled.

===Part 2===

"—Holy Lord Alexandros."

With the sound of footsteps, Kamito advanced through the great hall.

Keeping his two swords ready in a stance, he faced off against the Holy Lord who was wearing the Sacred Maiden's appearance.

Shiny blonde hair. Ancient armor glistening with silver-white luster.

Held in her hand was a sacred sword in the same style as Est. The only difference was that her sacred sword was double-edged, while Kamito's Demon Slayer had a single-edged blade.

Previously, Kamito had seen Sacred Maiden Areishia's sword in Est's dreams.

Spirit Weapon—Terminus Est.

(So that's Est's main body, huh...)

Kamito gripped the Demon Slayer in his hand.

The ultimate sword spirit whom the Five Great Elemental Lords used to fear.

Simply facing off was enough to make Kamito feel an oppressive presence that made his hair stand on end.

To resist, Kamito released divine power of darkness.

Oh? Seeing this, Alexandros seemed quite amused.

"Is this power of darkness inherited from her?"

"That's right—"

"Frankly speaking, I am surprised. I expected you to be devoured by her darkness—"

Alexandros got up from the throne and looked down at Kamito.

"Even with the Otherworldly Darkness corrupting her, Ren Ashdoll managed to pass along her last hope. Her wish was that eventually someone inheriting her power would appear from among the human race."

"So that is you, huh? Demon King—Ren Ashbell."

"Yes. I am the assassin's blade, here to kill you."

"I see. So that is her will."

"—No."

Facing the shrugging Holy Lord, Kamito shook his head and spoke.

"She simply entrusted her power to me. I am seeking to destroy you out of my own will. You should not exist in this world."

Kamito pointed the brightly glowing Demon Slayer at the Holy Lord.

"—Ah, well said. From this world's perspective, I am indeed the enemy."

The Holy Lord smiled. There was not the slightest malice in that pure smile.

The Sacred Maiden looked up at the crack to the Otherworld, penetrating the sky and reached out lightly.

"—Consequently, I must become the world itself."

She spoke with anticipation.

"So that's why you're going to absorb the power of the Angels from the Otherworld, to refashion this world according to the image in your mind?"

"—No."

The Holy Lord denied Kamito's accusation.

"What?"

"What I want is not merely the power of Angels, but something behind the Gate."

"...Something behind the gate, you say?"

So Angels were not the only things behind the Gate to the Otherworld?

"Indeed. So-called Angels are nothing more than beings guarding a certain something. In that case, when you saw those countless Angels while you were devoured by the Otherworldly Darkness, ''what exactly were they guarding''?"

"...!?"

Kamito gasped in surprise. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

—So-called Angels, were as implied by their name, messengers of heaven.

In that case, who was the one who had sent those Angels?

"Behind that Gate is the origin that had created us Elemental Lords as well as this Astral Zero. The origin of all power, all existence. In other words—"

The Holy Lord giggled with a young maiden's face.

"—An omnipotent being. One you could call God."

"...!"

—God.

Just an empty concept, something that did not exist in this Astral Zero.

The origin of everything, an omnipotent being.

(No way, can something like that...)

Kamito looked up at the Gate to the Otherworld, swirling in the sky.

Rather than taking the authority of Angels to recreate the world, the Holy Lord wanted to merge with what the Angels were protecting, the origin of the world.

—Wanted to become God himself.

"...! Is that even possible?"

Kamito stared unerringly at the Holy Lord, demanding an answer.

"Yes, I—no, ''we''—set the plan in motion for this very purpose."

(...We?)

Hearing the Holy Lord use that self-reference, Kamito instantly felt there was something odd.

Was he referring to Holy Lord Alexandros together with Sacred Maiden Areishia who had become his vessel? Or perhaps—

"...''Who exactly'' are you?"

Kamito asked.

—Why did the Holy Lord know about what existed behind that Gate?

Suppose Kamito's hunch was correct, then—

"Yes, it is as you think."

The Holy Lord shrugged and nodded.

"I am both the Holy Lord and the Sacred Maiden—and simultaneously, an Angel of the Otherworld."

"..."

—''I knew it'', Kamito muttered in his thoughts.

"Just as you know, Angels once descended six thousand years ago, attempting to retrieve the Darkness stolen by the Elemental Lords. It was a war between the Angels and Astral Zero. The Elemental Lords deployed numerous spirit weapons to fight the army of Angels. Naturally, I was no exception."

The Holy Lord smiled.

"During that war, I began to think. I wanted to eat ''that''."

"...! W-What are you saying...?"

Kamito was speechless.

"I secretly captured an Angel to study. It was then that I found out. That Angel was the Light element with its form altered—"

"Angels, the light element..."

"Indeed. I was delighted. Just as Ren Ashdoll desired Darkness of the origin, I hungered for the Light of that world's. Using our mutual affinity for the light element, I absorbed the captured Angel into myself. And then—"

Saying that, the Holy Lord laughed.

"Merged with an Angel, the Light Elemental Lord was assimilated by True Light to become the Holy Lord. Did you know? I did not start out as the Holy Lord. Instead, I used to be known as the Lord of Light."

Lord of Light—Alexandros.

The being opposite to the Darkness Elemental Lord.

"...I see. So that's what happened."

—Everything finally made sense.

Merging with an Angel was equivalent to merging with Otherworldly Light.

Precisely because he had already been assimilated by the Light, the Holy Lord alone did not get corrupted by the Otherworldly Darkness like the other Elemental Lords.

Also, there was the scene seen in the dream of Greyworth, who had contracted with the Holy Lord.

The scene of the giant of light devouring an Angel—

It was actually something that had happened for real.

The result of an Angel merging with a spirit. That reminded him of a certain spirit.

"The same nature as Millennia Sanctus, huh?"

—Yes, that cardinal. The spirit born from fragments of Terminus Est. In her eye resided Otherworldly Darkness, which finally turned into a Gate to summon Angels.

"Indeed, she was the experiment created in this manner. Although the results were less than ideal, she and Lurie both performed to the limit of their capabilities. Their sacrifices were not in vain."

"That's absurd!"

"Sacred Maiden, Angel, Lord of Light. Within me are three consciousnesses mixed together. I have even forgotten what exactly is the nature of my existence. All that is left is a desire to merge with that origin, nothing more. To this end, I have waited a thousand years in full."

The Holy Lord's eyes were filled with mad desire for the origin.

—To overturn the world and begin anew, to become the world itself.

"—You can think whatever you want."

Kamito readied his two swords and spoke.

"But we're the ones living in this world. Even if you guys were the creators of this world, you have no right to take it away from us."

"Yes, you have the right to resist. Just as in the past, the Elemental Lords rose in rebellion against that world that had created us."

The sacred sword in the Holy Lord's hand glowed.

That excessively blinding light filled the entire hall.

"—Unlike the incomplete specimen that you hold, this is the light of the true Terminus Est."

"...!"

The torrent of light instantly erased the divine power of darkness on Kamito's body.

However, Kamito glared intently at the Holy Lord, holding his ground.

He had no intention of being ignored.

"—How dare you call her incomplete?"

Kamito poured divine power into the Demon Slayer.

It was at that temple in the Academy's surroundings that he had contracted with Est.

That contract was admittedly incomplete.

Its power was only a tenth or so of the original.

However, that was what had allowed him to fight throughout the whole Blade Dance, winning to the end.

The sacred sword that had grown together with Kamito, overcoming countless trials and tribulations.

"My Est is the strongest sword spirit. Right, Est?"

'Yes, Kamito—'

Est's voice sounded in his mind.

''My Terminus Est will not lose against the Sacred Maiden's sacred sword.''

"—Come, Holy Lord Alexandros. Let me show you my blade dance."

The Demon Slayer neutralized the light of Terminus Est.

—And so, the blade dance between the Demon King and the Sacred Maiden began.

===Part 3===

O-Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The Earth Elemental Lord's roar caused the surrounding air to shake.

Covered with trees, the gigantic arm swung down, crashing upon the urban terrain beneath.

"...!"

Greyworth and Leonora both jumped at the same time.

Next, a shockwave cracked open the ground.

Accompanied by a great noise, a blast blew a huge amount of debris towards the horizon, spreading radially.

Dug up, the ground turned into a tidal wave, swallowing the city's buildings in its path.

"—O spirit Juggernaut, turn thyself into a secure fortress!"

Velsaria extended both arms.

Countless fortification walls appeared out of thin air to block the giant wave of debris.

A great cloud of dust blew up from the stone-tiled ground, pouring down on Velsaria's head.

While maintaining a great quantity of fortification walls, she glanced behind her.

Seeing the Queens' receding forms as they ran away from the battlefield, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

...It looked like she had defended successfully.

(...That being said, what monstrous strength is this...)

With a terrified expression, Velsaria muttered to herself.

On the other side of the dust cloud, a giant's silhouette gradually appeared.

Centered on the Earth Elemental Lord, a bowl-shaped piece of the Holy Capital's urban area had been destroyed.

"...! This much from just a destructive impact..."

An elemental waffe with mediocre defensive power would definitely have failed to hold.

"Velsaria Eva—"

Just then, she heard a voice from nearby.

Leonora was standing on a fortification wall.

"Can your Fortress block that?"

Saying that, Leonora pointed her great sword's tip at the giant.

''That'' was referring to the Elemental Lord's fist, presumably.

"I cannot promise anything. Even with Dreadnought's full power released, I expect it to block two hits at most."

Velsaria shrugged.

"Is that so? In that case, having you continue to defend as our shield is out of the question."

"A protracted battle was never possible to begin with."

Holding a blood-colored demon sword, Greyworth appeared from a void that opened up from thin air.

"The Earth Elemental Lord is capable of absorbing the ground's power to become stronger. Suppose this avatar possesses the same ability, then the only solution is to use our full power and defeat it in one go—"

Just then, three blinding flashes exploded from the restless giant shadow.

"Heed my call, spirits Garuda, Gigas, Ladon!"

Three militarized spirits appeared at the Earth Elemental Lord's feet.

A bird-shaped spirit, a humanoid spirit wielding a club, and a giant coiled serpent spirit.

They were Muir Alenstarl's militarized spirits, each one capable of subjugating a stronghold singlehandedly, but they were abandoned due to the inability of ordinary elementalists to control them, thus relegated to become relics of a past age. However, Muir possessed the special ability Jester's Vise which could force spirits to go berserk, thus rendering that disadvantage completely irrelevant.

"Destroy everything!"

Muir's voice rang out.

At her orders, the giant bird spirit Garuda flapped its wings hard, scattering the dust cloud.

The serpent spirit Ladon used its body to entangle the Earth Elemental Lord's giant legs.

While Garuda attacked from the air, Gigas rammed the gigantic torso.

"Coordinate with Muir Alenstarl and defeat it in one go!"

Holding Vlad Dracul, Greyworth raced along the ground.

With a kick against the fortress wall underfoot, Leonora jumped into the air.

"Dracunia Style Blade Arts—Flying Dragon Fierce Slash!"

With a great roar, she swung her great sword from the air for a heavy blow against the Earth Elemental Lord's shoulder.

A full power attack executed while Dragon Blood was active, it ripped through the giant's shoulder.

The Earth Elemental Lord's gigantic body shook.

"Aha, Dragon-oneechan's monstrous strength is unbelievale!"

Seizing this opening, Muir Alenstarl silently rushed forward.

From the chest of her pitch-black assassin uniform, she took out a handful of spirit crystals and swiftly tossed them out.

A flash of light erupted, attacking the Earth Elemental Lord.

Five bolts of lightning exploded at the giant's feet at the same time.

This was Flare Balloon—a special militarized spirit for destroying strongholds.

They were fire-type militarized spirits that automatically tracked their targets to execute suicide bombing.

The Earth Elemental Lord roared. One could not be sure if it was out of pain or anger—

Boom! Boom boom boom boom!

Aimed at the roaring giant, artillery fire attacked.

This was Velsaria's Dreadnought firing all cannons at once.

Just then, a figure swiftly weaved through the continuous hail of projectiles.

Gray hair fluttered in the wind. The demon sword's blade left a crimson afterimage trail.

Greyworth Ciel Mais—The Dusk Witch bearing the title of the continent's strongest.

Releasing divine power, she jumped, rushing up along the Earth Elemental Lord's arm.

"Absolute Blade Arts, Destructive Form—Bursting Blossom Spiral Blade Dance, Sixteen Consecutive Strikes!"

Countless flashes of the sword ripped through the rock constituting the Earth Elemental Lord.

Facing against the Absolute Blade Arts move for annihilating archdemon-class spirits, no spirit could escape the fate of destruction.

However—

ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAR!

With a roar that shook the ground, the Earth Elemental Lord stood up.

The trees covering his body repaired the broken rock layer within the blink of an eye.

"What!?"

The Earth Elemental Lord crushed Gigas underfoot and used both hands to rip off the head of Ladon, which was entangling his feet.

"...It can regenerate, huh? What a bother."

Greyworth whispered with annoyance.

With the Holy Capital suspended in midair, the divine power in the ground was not limitless, but still enough to sustain the Earth Elemental Lord's avatar to repair a certain level of damage.

"—No problem. We just have to destroy faster than it can regenerate."

Wielding the Dragon Slayer, Leonora smiled fearlessly.

"What, that's pretty simple."

Muir landed softly on the ground and said.

"...How reliable."

Greyworth laughed wryly in response.

"But that thing is really sturdy."

"It is the Earth Elemental Lord after all, even though it's just an avatar—"

Trees gradually covered the Earth Elemental Lord's upright gigantic body.

The surface, previously like a mountain of rock, had turned into a dense forest.

"So that's Lode Gear's original appearance, huh—"

Greyworth's forehead dripped with cold sweat.

She could sense the power of the ground that was accumulating in the Earth Elemental Lord's interior.

"Incoming—"

Just as she whispered, the forest shook.

===Part 4===

"...! Kyahhhh!"

A violent gale blew Claire's petite body, smashing her against the ground.

A strong impact. Without Einherjar's protection, her body probably would have been crushed.

"—Claire!"

Rinslet shot a Freezing Arrow to pin down the approaching Belphal.

However, the Lord of Wind swung her magic spear in the air, easily blowing away and scattering the ice projectiles. She landed softly on the ground and made a thrust at the panting Claire with her magic spear.

In the nick of time, Einherjar's wings deployed in response to Claire's voice.

A spurt of flame pushed Claire's body backwards.

—BOOM!

Missing its target, the magic spear left a huge hole in the ground.

"...! Scarlet, thanks..."

Claire stood up and licked her parched lips.

Inside the roaring barrier of wind—

Team Scarlet had surrounded Belphal, facing off against her.

With a magic weapon of wind in her hand, the emerald-haired girl looked calmly at her four opponents.

Her sky-blue eyes showed terrifying blood lust.

With a low rumble, wind left faint scratches on the skin of Claire and her teammates.

"...What a monster, as expected."

Gripping Flametongue tightly, Claire said.

"Yes, to be honest, I really want to retreat."

Ellis groaned with a pained face.

Naturally, she understood that was out of the question.

The deployed wind barrier surrounded the entire plaza.

One would probably get ripped to pieces simply from touching it.

"...Our only choice is to go all out and take a gamble. Let's go."

"Yes."

Raising Ray Hawk, Ellis nodded.

At the back, Rinslet also readied her magic bow of ice. Deployed by Fianna, Save the Queen was providing the whole team with reinforced protection. This was Team Scarlet's standard formation for fighting powerful spirits. However—

(...I don't know if this will work against a high-level humanoid spirit.)

The Lord of Wind raised her magic spear.

"Spirit Weapon—magic spear Brionac, exhibit thy power!"

Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!

Violent wind was generated from the magic spear's tip, forming a gigantic tornado.

Counless streaks of blue-white lightning could be seen inside the tornado.

"Disappear, Ren Ashdoll's minions—"

"...! It's coming!"

Claire warned shrilly.

With electrified tornado swept up surrounding debris and went straight for them.

The wind barrier could be heard behind them. There was no way to retreat.

"—Stand down, everyone! I will block it."

Fianna swiftly swung down her elemental waffe rapier.

A holy light barrier immediately appeared, blocking in front of the tornado.

Luminous Wall. This was high-level holy magic strengthened by Save the Queen.

When the tornado made contact with the barrier of light, blue-white lightning instantly exploded.

"...! It's not going to be able to stop it!?"

"O wind, turn into a sturdy barrier—Wind Wall!"

On top of the barrier of light, Ellis added an extra layer, a wind barrier, to deflect the tornado.

However—

"Foolish. I cannot believe you are trying to use wind of that level to block the wind of I—"

Belphal swung the magic spear Brionac.

RUMBLE!

Centered on the tornadao, another tornado appeared, erasing the magic barrier in an instant.

"...! Kyahhhhhhhh!"

A storm of violent wind and lightning rampaged.

The four girls were swept into the sky, torn by wind blades, then thrown hard to the ground.

"Cough... Huff...!"

The violent impact caused Ellis to cough blood.

Rumbling wind was incessant. Fianna's barrier was probably erased too.

"...! Your Highness!"

Picking up Ray Hawk, Ellis tried to reach Fianna's side.

"...!?"

But right in front of her, the emerald-haired girl appeared.

Belphal coldly stared at Ellis and swung the magic spear.

"...!"

The Sylphid Knight pauldron was shattered. Ellis felt a sharp pain in her right shoulder.

Had she reacted any slower, the spear tip probably would have pierced her chest.

Blood flowed like a spring. Ellis fell on the ground and rolled.

"—Ellis!"

Standing up, Claire swung Flametongue.

Confronted with a crimson slash that flew everywhere, the Lord of Wind nonchalantly dodged.

"Oh? A spirit weapon, a survivor of the Scarlet Valkyries, huh...?"

"Scarlet is my good partner, not a weapon!"

Flametongue blazed intensely.

Belphal frowned slightly and exited the whip's attack range.

"...! Do not think you can escape, Freezing Arrow!"

Ellis fired ice projectiles, raining down.

One of the countless arrows struck the leg of the Lord of Wind, freezing her to the spot.

"Success!"

Seeing that, Rinslet could not help but cheer, but...

"...!?"

Belphal's figure disappeared.

In the next instant, the girl appeared behind Fianna's back.

"—Fianna, behind you!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Claire's voice, Fianna turned her head back quickly.

The appearing Lord of Wind made a thrust of her magic spear against the unguarded Fianna—

CLAAAAAAANG!

The sound of steel clashing resounded across the plaza that was under a whirlwind.

"—What!?"

The out-thrust spear was blocked by a great shield shining with silver-white light.

O-Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh—

A low roar was coming from inside empty armor.

"...Georgios!"

Fianna widened her dusk-colored eyes.

Her knight spirit had responded to his liege's crisis, turning back into spirit form on his own accord.

"—Please escape, my lord."

"...!? Y-You can talk!?"

Fianna cried out in surprise.

Georgios kicked the ground hard, forcing Belphal back with his massive shield.

"Imperial Ancient Blade Arts—Shield Smash!"

A sideways strike from the great shield knocked the Lord of Wind's magic spear aside.

Seizing the moment with the opponent off-balance—

Georgios performed sword skills.

"Imperial Ancient Blade Arts—Meteor Slicer!"

His massive body stepped forward powerfully, executing five consecutive thrusts with his great sword that were like meteors.

"—A mere knight spirit, how dare you act with such insolence!"

Showing emotion for the first time, the Lord of Wind yelled.

She dodged the sword's consecutive strikes and gathered wind at the tip of the magic spear Brionac.

"Don't forget me!"

Manipulating Flametongue skillfully, Claire covered Georgios.

The Lord of Wind disappeared again.

"...! Another wind afterimage!?"

Surprised, Claire immediately began to search for surrounding presences.

She sensed a faint flutter in the space behind Rinslet.

"—Rinslet!"

Claire kicked the ground hard.

Einherjar spewed out intense flames and flew over there like a red flash of light.

She could see Belphal behind Rinslet now, about to thrust the magic spear.

In that instant, Claire hugged Rinslet and went for the ground.

"...Ah... Cough—!"

Intense pain.

Brionac's spear tip had smashed Einherjar, piercing Claire's flank.

"C-Claire, are you alright!?"

"...Q...Quick, escape..."

Held in Rinslet's arms, Claire groaned in pain.

"—Be gone, Ren Ashdoll's princess maidens."

The Lord of Wind looked down coldly at the two girls and raised her magic spear.

—At that very moment...

A mass of brilliant flame appeared in front of the collapsed Claire and Rinslet.

"...Huh?"

Claire could not help but exclaim in surprise.

The flames burned intensely.

In the center of the flames was a beautiful woman with crimson hair.

Held in her hand was a blazing great sword.

After glancing at the blood-covered Claire, she showed wrath in her eyes.

This terrifying intent to kill instantly turned into a violent conflagration that kept growing stronger.

"—You have waited long enough, Claire."

"Nee-sama!?"

The Calamity Queen—Rubia Elstein—had arrived.

===Part 5===

CLAAANG!

In the great hall of the Holy Lord Palace, one could hear blades clashing violently.

The Holy Maiden and the Demon King—two kindred who had both inherited the power of the Elemental Lords were locked in a final battle.

Two Demon Slayers glowed with silver-white light.

Every time the blades crossed each other, blue-white sparks flew.

Rather than sparks produced by friction between steel, these came from the large amount of divine power flowing through the two swords.

(So this the power of the Holy Lord's Terminus Est, huh!?)

From just a few rounds of crossing blades, Kamito could feel the opponent's immense power.

Both sides had access to limitless divine power, but Kamito had a time limit against him.

—He must finish the battle before the Water Elemental Lord turned into a Gate to the Otherworld.

(Fancy tricks are pointless. I have to pour in every ounce fromn the essence of my swordsmanship and defeat her with my full power!)

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

With a mighty shout, Kamito took a big step forward.

Using the Demon Slayer to seize initiative as a first attack, he then executed a slash swiftly with the Vorpal Sword.

"Absolute Blade Arts, Third Form—Shadowmoon Waltz, Furious Thunder!"

Emanating light that was blacker than the color of night, the blade traced out a curved trajectory.

This was a continuous slash executed with one hand. The jet-black lightning released from the blade swept across the ground, heading straight to the Holy Lord.

"Light of mine, erase the dark night—Sanctum Guard!"

While deflecting the incoming demon blade, the Holy Lord recited spirit magic.

Instantly, her golden armor was enveloped in blinding holy light, neutralizing the jet-black demon lightning.

(I can't believe he used spirit magic to defend against lightning that's the level of the Vorpal Blast—)

Kamito clicked his tongue and jumped to the side. With a simple swing of Terminus Est, the Holy Lord proceeded to smash the hall's floor.

"...!"

Having evaded the danger, Kamito immediately regained his stance and used the Demon Slayer to block the next sword strike. The sound of steel clashing.

The swordsmanship exhibited by the Holy Lord was probably what the container, Sacred Maiden Areishia, had trained.

It was unlike the orthodox knightly swordsmanship used by Luminaris. Of course, it was also different from the assassination combat skills that Kamito specialized in. Instead, this was ancient swordsmanship from a thousand years ago that had been lost long ago.

Her moves were not exactly ingenious, but powered with overwhelming divine power, the blade was extremely dangerous in each swing. If Kamito were not holding two swords of the strongest class, he would not be able to hold his own, even with the power of the Darkness Elemental Lord.

(—So this is the Sacred Maiden's blade dance, huh?)

Contrasting with Kamito whose every move was an ultimate technique, they were two opposite extremes.

"Is this all you can do, successor of Ren Ashdoll?"

With the two swords locked between them, two gazes crossed.

"Or should I say, the ''impostor'' Demon Slayer amounts to nothing more than this?"

"...! What did you say?"

This could be a taunt, or a simple expression of disappointment.

However, the Holy Lord's words really pissed Kamito off.

"—I can't pretend I didn't hear that."

Glaring at those clear eyes, Kamito answered slowly.

"Don't insult my partner!"

Pitch-black divine power poured out from all over Kamito's body.

"—Let's do this, Est and Restia!"

Responding to Kamito's vigor, the two spirit seals on his hands glowed brightly.

"Absolute Blade Arts, Sixth Form—Crushing Fang, Partner Dance!"

The two swords' blades struck Terminus Est hard.

This was an anti-personnel Absolute Blade Art for destroying elemental waffen.

Of course, this move was not enough to break the ultimate sacred sword.

However, the impact managed to make the Holy Lord lose balance slightly.

In that instant, Kamito vanished. He lowered his stance and swept his swords to attack the enemy's lower body.

This was Flying Snake, an assassination skill from the Instructional School.

The sound of metallic impact. The sword's tip was deflected by greaves.

However, this was merely a diversion.

With his posture practically lying against the ground, Kamito released divine power all at once, crushing stone tiles underfoot—!

"Absolute Blade Arts, Seventh Form—Biting Dragon, Swift Lightning!"

Altered and derived from the First Form, Purple Lightning, this form was an anti-air Absolute Blade Art executed with an upward slash with divine speed.

The two swords ripped through the light enveloping the Holy Lord, leaving a cross-shaped crack on his armor.

"—O demonslaying light, purify ancient darkness!"

The Holy Lord created countless swords of light, firing them at Kamito who had flown into the sky.

Seeing that, Kamito released divine power in the air. With afterimages tracing out a curve, he landed behind the Holy Lord.

"Absolute Blade Arts, First Form—Purple Lightning, Dual Flash Dance!"

Quick as lightning, he swung his blades to attack.

Surpassing the speed of sound, the swords flashed—

However...

"—Cheap trick!"

While turning around, the Holy Lord used the blade of Terminus Est to deflect the Absolute Blade Art.

(...! Given the timing, I can't believe he saw through Purple Lightning just like that!?)

Though he showed nothing on his face, Kamito was quite shocked inside.

His movements had been read thoroughly.

"Allow me to enlighten you, the reason why my vessel, Sacred Maiden Areishia Idriss, was known as the strongest elementalist—"

===Part 6===

The Earth Elemental Lord's roars sounded in the distance, shaking the air.

Noise of explosions and intense fighting even reached a shrine that was protected by a secure barrier.

Having retreated from the battlefield, four worried Queens were gathered in front of an altar.

One could hardly blame them. After all, unlike students of Areishia Spirit Academy, Queens hailing from the Divine Ritual Institute had never received blade dance training.

With earthquakes happening again and again, the small shrine that served as their shelter seemed like it would collapse any time.

"O Elemental Lord—"

Fire Queen Reicha moved her pale lips, praying quietly.

The Queens, who served the Five Great Elemental Lords directly, knew better than anyone the terrifying power of the Elemental Lords.

The Elemental Lords were beings who ruled over Astral Zero and the human realm.

They were the embodiment of supreme power over the elements.

They were absolutely not beings that could be opposed by mere mortals.

(But—)

Those girls were fighting. For the sake of protecting this world, they challenged the absolute rulers.

However, was trembling in fear here the only thing the Queens could do?

Was praying to the heavens, lamenting their own powerlessness the only thing they could do?

There was a loud noise, shaking the shrine. Stone fragments chipped off and fell from the ceiling, scattering on the ground.

Huddled together, the Queens could not help but cringe.

(Is there anything... anything within our power—)

Reicha mustered her fortitude and raised her head.

Just then, the spirit crystal embedded in the front of the altar entered her view.

This was a device for broadcasting the prayers of princess maidens across the city.

The instant she saw that device, Reicha suddenly had an idea.

"—Nia, Feilei, Sylpha, could you listen to my idea?"

Looking at each of the other three in turn, Reicha asked timidly.

Among the Queens, she was the most junior.

"...What is it, Reicha?"

Earth Queen Nia asked.

"Using that voice transmission device, can we convey our voices to the princess maidens in the human realm?"

"...?"

Puzzled, the three girls looked at one another.

"I am thinking of asking all the princess maidens across the entire continent to offer their prayers, to pacify the souls of the Elemental Lords."

"The entire continent?"

Water Queen Feilei widened her eyes slightly.

"Yes. The entire continent, indeed."

Reicha spoke firmly.

Back in the human realm, thousands of princess maidens were paying close attention to the fate of the world. If they were to offer their prayers, perhaps they might succeed in rousing the Elemental Lords' original, noble souls.

"...That is impossible."

However, the older Sylpha shook her head.

"The purpose of this device is only for transmitting prayers to the city. Getting our voices across the whole continent would really be—"

The Queens were able to convey the Elemental Lord's oracles to the human realm. However, expanding the range to cover all princess maidens across the continent would be too unrealistic. The Queen who had remained confined to bed after transmitting the Holy Lord's oracle was a vivid example.

"It does not need to be long. If all of us work together here—"

With great sincerity in her eyes, Reicha gazed at the other three.

At her insistence—

"...Fine. Let us give it a try."

The Wind Queen nodded.

172.69.55.25: /* Chapter 8: Coronation */

===Chapter 8: Coronation===

The next morning....

Saito woke up from the loud cheers.

"Wha....?"

Sleeping next to him, Louise seemed to have been woken up from the same reason. Rubbing his half-closed eyes, Saito stood up and opened the windows.

The muffled cheers burst from the window and flooded into the entire room. Because of the holes on the walls, living together with them Malicorne and Tiffania also seemed to have been awakened by it.

"What the heck is that noise?"

"What, in the world, happened?"

While mumbling, they all gathered around.

Since this hotel was built on top of a cliff that has a perfect view of the entire Lelion river, (just like every other Carcassone house,) if they look outside, they can fully see the situation below.

The Romalian army spanning across the plains gave thunderous cheers.

"What is that?"
Malicorne pointed below.

Looks like, at the center of the Romalian army, was a huge stage. One could say it almost looks like an altar.
''Feels just like the stage at a concert,'' Saito thought.

"Are they preparing an opera or what?"
Louise openly expressed her thoughts.

"Hey hey, we are already in a war, why would they bother for an opera?"

"How am I supposed to know. Maybe they want to do some boring religious play, to undermine the other side's morale or something...."

"Won't they just become more irritated when they see this kind of stuff?"
Just when he was saying, Malicorne used the spell of telescoping.

"Oi! The Pope is on the altar! Are they preparing some sort of offering?"

Feeling ominous, the group looked at each other, then all rushed to head down to Lelion river. In their journey, they also encountered the rest of the Water Spirit Ondine knights and Kirche. The only missing person was Tabitha.

Sprinting, Saito asked
"Huff, Kirche, where's Tabitha?"

".....Hm. When I looked for her, she was already gone. That kid, where could she run to so early in the morning."

The ominous feeling exacerbated.

Dashing from the streets of Carcassone to the steppes of the plains, the cheers became more and more thunderous as they approached. Other than the black and white flag of the crusade, even the flag of Kingdom Romalia was flying in the winds. Next to it, one could see a flag with two spears crossing each other on it.

"What's this? Isn't that the flag of Gallia?"
Kirche exclaimed. Pope Vittorio Cervale stood right under the flag, surveying his surroundings with disdainful eyes. Blocked by surrounding guards, Saito and the others were impeded from further progress and could only observe the development from a distance.

Vittorio raised both hands, silencing the fuelled cheering. All of the people began putting up a praying posture.

"What's that. A make shift cathedral? There's no need to come all the way here to do that...."
Kirche sounded a bit shocked.

Vittorio's prayers last around 30 minutes. During the time, Saito and the others little choice but to maintain the same posture.

When the prayers have finally ended, Vittorio spread his hands again.

"Respectable believers of god Brimir, today, I bring everyone joyful news."
His voice has been amplified through the use of magic, enough to reach the ears of the Gallian camp on the other side of the river.

"Across the river, loyal lords to the Gallian mad King, please join us for this news."

Immediately, all sorts of complaints sounded throughout the Gallian camp.

"What the heck! If you want to preach then no thanks! We have much better things to do!"

"Return to the dump you came from to do your praying to God!"

Vittorio smiled, ignoring these voices and continuing his speech.

"Lords of the Gallian Kingdom, you are making a big mistake. The so called King of yours, is not the rightful heir to Gallia"

Saito's face was drained of color.

"What are you trying to say?"

"The King you loyally serve, is the person who killed the next right King, Great Duch Orléans, and took the throne for himself like a thief. What kind of person is everyone trying to serve loyal for? I hope you understand that this is an enormous insult to even our God and Founder."

"Even so, there is no place for a horrible monk like you to make your comments!"

"So this is the words of a person invading other countries! Who else could the real thief be!"

Vittorio's corner of his mouth twisted slightly more.

"We are not thieves, nor here to control your country or land. Rather, we are here to restore your kingdom under the rightful rule. As the servants of God and Founder, we, will never concur with that self-proclaimed King allying himself with heretics. As a respectable believer of Brimir yourself, you should fully agree with this."

Saito already wanted to rush forward. With events developing to this stage, without further ado Louise and the others already realized the true message this whole act was trying to deliver. Before they could do anything, paladins had already come forth, stopping the footsteps of Saito and the others with drawn swords and spears.

"No trouble around here! Listen well to the Pope!"

"Let me now introduce the real rightful heir to this kingdom. The daughter of the deceased Grand Duke of Orléans, Princess Charlotte her majesty."

Below the altar, priests split both sides to make way for the appearance of Tabitha. She was not wearing the usual clothing of the Academy of Magic, but a grand suit designed for royal kings and queens. On the face of hers without the usual glasses and dabbed lightly with makeup. Unlike her common attitude, this unerringly displayed the majestic hidden under her usual expressionless face, even enough to match one of what would be the princess of Halkenia.

"Tabitha!"
Kirche screamed with anger. Of course, this voice was hardly heard by anyone overwhelmed by the barrage of more thunderous cheers, much less reaching Tabitha's ears.

"Princess Charlotte!?"

"Impossible! Wasn't she assassinated back then as well?"

"No, I heard she was stripped of her title and sent to study abroad at Tristain."
All sorts of shocked cries spread through the Gallian camp.

"How dare you bring us this fraud!"
Furious to the degree of losing himself, this cry could be heard even on this side. This person came from no other than the person who have competed with Saito a couple times, Duke '''Scarron'''.
"How dare you make a fool of us with the deceased daughter of the Grand Duke of Orléans! Shameless! How much longer are you going to mess with us!"

"Then, would you like to confirm for yourself, whether or not this is a fraud?"
Announced the Pope without a slightest hint of backing down. He named a few nobles, whom should all know Tabitha's identity as heir.

With '''Scarron''' as lead, they boarded the small boat and arrived into the Romalian camps, finally walking onto the altar.

Around ten or more aristocrats took turn to check for imperfections in Tabitha. After a considerable amount of time.... one of them raised the staff in his hands, chanting the spell of removal. Confirming there were no magic on Tabitha's body, they knelt down in unison.

Duke '''Scarron''' said with a difficult voice
"Long time no see..... Princess Charlotte your highness"

Yells immediately boiled from the Gallian camp. A large crowd of aristocrats came rushing to the sandbank, one of them, Bart Castlemont.

Taking off the metal mask of his face, waving both his hands he cried
"I am leader of the Eastern Roses, Bart Castlemont! I hereby declare, to welcome the returning of Princess Charlotte to receive her rightful throne, the establishment of the Gallian volunteers! We seek only the orders of Princess Charlotte!"

The Gallia camps started to collapse into chaos. They had too little time to contemplate such a sudden announcement. To further excite their already shaking faith in their Gallian King, Vittorio continued
"Loyal Gallian lords, please consider with your intelligent and brave brain, consider your pure flawless self, in this old, ancient country, who is best suited for Emperor? Is it the one at Lutece, the lazy, incompetent king who killed his brother for the crown? Or..."
Placing his right hand onto Tabitha's shoulders.
"Or is it the one standing here, here to receive St. Aegis the 32nd's personally executed coronation, the young queen overflowing with talent?"

Many aristocrats and soldiers gathered at the sandbanks at the side of Castlemont. Of course..... Having things like the entire army defecting to this side is pretty much out of topic. Everyone had little time to think carefully over this sudden development.

"Think about it. There's plenty of time, but not long. Right now there are two fleets of ships heading this way. It will carry the now Empress, Queen Charlotte, to take Lutece back from the dishonorable thief. As servant of God and Founder, I agree that this real Emperor, should deserve to sit on that throne. So, gentleman, do you wish to bear the filthy name of being a rebel army?"

Although not much, but the soldiers, aristocrats gathered at Castlemont's side increased yet again. At the Gallian camps all sorts of arguments, even conflicts grew. At various places, one can even see wands drawn.

Saito trembled from this sight.

Tabitha? Why?

Damn. The Romalians must have said something good to fool Tabitha. It must be it. Although the exact method is still uncertain, it was definitely enough to change Tabitha's mind.

The morale in the Gallian camp shook even more. If this goes on, everything will progress exactly the way the Romalian Pope wishes to. No matter how perfect the plan Henrietta deceived is right now, once this movement become large enough, no one will be able to stop the crusade anymore.

"....If this goes on Gallia will be under the control of Romalia. If so, we are helpless to stop the crusade."
Louise said regretfully. With things this way already, even breaking through the Paladins, running all the way to change Tabitha's idea would be too late.

There were no other ways to stop the already rolling boulder.

Vittorio pointed to a small dot in the skies of the southwest direction. Where he was pointing to, a large fleet of ships could be seeing pressing forwards.

"Even this is calculated, perfect"
Saito said sarcastically while wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Sitting at the stern of "Harold, Orléans", was Claville. Next to him, Viscount Julian commented
"Never thought that this would turn into a real rebel fleet. The changes possible in politics is just stunning, just like a pair of cat eyes"
(Note: The size of the iris of cat eyes changes rapidly under different light stimulation, here it is used as a common slang.)

This was not said with any sarcasm, but one of his real thoughts. Stroking his beard, Claville replied
"Now we're not a 'rebellion' anymore. This is the official dual-use fleet of Gallia."

This bunch of people knows perfectly that a few weeks ago they were still members of Gallian dual-use fleet. Not long afterwards were they approached by Joseph to disguise as a rebel fleet, but the failure of the plan and their fear towards the crusade has soon turned them into real rebels. Now.... under what the Pope claimed to be "preparation for the rightful king", they return to the glorious title of being Gallia's dual-use fleet.

It was only yesterday when Pope Vittorio Cervale issued his orders to this fleet at St. Marion. Though said they are a rebel fleet, it was only forced on them due to the circumstances.

To the Claville who barely has any motivation for any work, who even went into conflict with his own mates, the only reason that is making up stand up again, is that order
"Bring the country all the way to the capital."

With this, he had all the reason to ignore the bunch still loyal to Joseph. There was no more need to treat them as his mates anymore.

"It's a week already. I believe future script writers will have a headache over the things happening now. Switching names again and again is a bit..... Speaking of which, did the bunch in Romalia really found Princess Charlotte? Don't tell me, the found a fake to substitute her. I hope they won't do anything as dumb as that."

"Will it be the real one?"

Claville nodded.

"Though say there's always this rumor of 'being assassinated' and all sorts..... but it looks like she had been shipped off to some other country. There are also rumors of being locked somewhere in a castle...... but she should still be alive. Maybe she made it out."

"I suppose Romalia put their hands in?"

"From the current situation, it's certainly quite possible. Seems like Princess Charlotte have some luck."

For his fleet to be rescued by that "Princess Charlotte", Claville could have never dreamed of it. He himself has even seen Tabitha using the name "Charlotte" in person.

"Ahh, the great Kingdom of Gallia, is going to become the backyard of Romalia from now on? The Pope is even greater than the founder of our country Great King Julio. Great King Julio only managed to take conquer half of Gallia, yet this young Pope is already capable of taking all of it into his pockets."

"Pfft. No matter who holds the power to this Kingdom, it's definitely better than that 'incompetent King'. That guy joined with Bidashal to do some sort of weird research at St. Marion. The results were those Knight Golems. Now who knows what sort of evil is he doing in Lutece, he's completely the devil himself! Why doesn't he just go someplace on his own to do whatever he wants! We might as well send him to the actual hell!?"
Bearing hatred feelings, Claville said. Most likely he have forgotten how he once fell into the incompetent King's plans himself as well, doing things betraying God and Founder.

"We must let Princess Charlotte to board this ship bearing her father's name, and head in victory all the way to Lutece. Only will that clean the wrong doings we have borne. Being able to help in this, don't you feel much honored? Viscount."

"Right, right. That sure is very honoring indeed."
He replied with a non-caring tone.

"Ho, we can almost see Carcassonne. No matter how many times we pass by, I always feel the need to question why would they ever build a city in this sort of place. To be honest, I really am curious."
Viscount Julian said, looking at the twisting "serpentrouge" around ten miles in front of them.

The two shores of Lelion could also be seen, as well as the Romalia and Gallian camps.

According to the plan, this ship will carry the already coronated Queen Charlotte "her majesty", raise the Gallian flag, then bombard the persistent remains of the Gallian camp.

Afterwards, with little power left, the Gallian camps will have little choice but to surrender. Finishing off with these foolish people, they will be able to steer all the way to the unprepared Lutece.

This is a mission even simpler than training to sail seas.

But.... tragedy stuck.

The sailor on the mast seemed to report something.

"10 O’clock! There's something flying towards us!"

"What's with 'something'. What kind of report is this!"
The co-captain complained.

"Dragons? No, not dragons! That's......a strange stone statue?"

What a report.

Claville and Julio also looked in the same direction.

So that's what he was talking about, a miraculously winged object like a dragon was flying this way. On closer inspection, it is a stone statue. It isn't so wrong to mix it up with a dragon. After all, as a stone statue, its movements were way too fast.

"What's that? A scout?"

Or some sort of secret messenger?

That grey, devilish shaped statue did not attempt to land on the decks, but rather tagged along below their ships. Feeling very sick, Viscount Julio immediately issued orders.
"Shoot down that thing!"

This order came too late.

Ssss......!

Like a cracking sound of an egg shell, the statue gripped tightly on the surface of the "jewel of fire", crisscross markings began to appear.

Since Joseph casted an "explosion" spell, leaving wounds invisible to the naked eye, the fragile jewel, could not sustain the power of the rolling fire inside.

Not particularly surprising.

All the energy from burning an entire forest, congregated into only 5 jewels of fire.

Flames started to spill from the cracks, expanding silently at a fearful degree. In an instant, the flames had already expanded a hundred thousand times of its original size.

The sailors of the dual use fleet, did not have time to cry out, and were swallowed by the gigantic fireball.

The jewel of fire burnt more than half of the dual use fleet like paper. The gunpowder carried onboard were also ignited, created a deafening noise that sounded through the sky.

The remaining army was also affected by the enormous flames, suffering extensive damage.

A scene from hell.

"Did he say it would have a radius of 10 miles? Why's it only 5?"

Aboard a speedboat, Joseph complained while looking at the distant bright shine. Guarding next to him, Myoznitnirn responded to her master's dissatisfaction.
"That was the smallest sized stone used. Bidashal said it is only next to the one of highest grade."

[[Image:ZnT15-203.jpg|thumb]]

"Is that so"
Joseph scratched his head.

Being tied both hands, Henrietta could only observe behind the both of them horrified at the progress of things.

"Let you experience hell", was what Joseph said. Turns out it was not some metaphor, but hell literally.

Henrietta trembled at the sight of the fire jewels capable of burning half of the dual use fleets into smoke.

The only time had seen something similar was at '''Tarbes'''. It was witnessed during the war of '''Tarbes''', Louise's explosion.

Although the magic that destroyed the fleet of Albion was similar...., there is still an incomparable distance in scale and destructiveness. Louise's "explosion" could wreck the wind stones carried onboard, even burn the ship's sails, but would never kill.

''The thing just now, was just like a small sun''
Henrietta trembled at her own thoughts.

A fireball of radius reaching 5 miles, Henrietta could have never imagined anything similar.

With her sword and guns seized, both hands tied similar behind her back, Agnes seemed to bear the same thought. Described as having a steel heart, even she closed her eyes and displayed her fragile feminine side.

"You.... do you know what you have done?"
Tears came from Henrietta's eyes.
"Do you know how many soldiers was that fleet carrying?"

"At last, more than the number on this poor vessel."
Joseph joked. Henrietta could not understand, how he could even smile after witnessing this scene.

On this vessel, other than Joseph and Myoznitnirn, Henrietta and Agnes these two pair, there were no one else.

Driving the vessels were lots of stone statues. Not knowing how they were taught, these statues were as trained as sailors, driving the ship with swift movements.

Simultaneously control so many stone statues, no matter which level of mage it is, none of them will be able to achieve this feat. Yet here they are, working ever so elegantly.

"Well then, let's try this big one here"
Joseph took out the so called "second to highest grade", "jewel of fire".

"You.... are the void user of Gallia?"
Watching him clearly recite the same chant as Louise's spell, Henrietta realized that he was the "void user of Gallia".

Even though the chant is completely the same, to any pair of ears, they could not sound more different. Louise's spell was full of hope, her courage to change tomorrow for the better

However, Joseph's spell was nothing like it. If one was forced to describe it, only "despair" would fit. It sounds as if he was giving up something.

That despair for some reason reassured Henrietta, guiding her back to the normal world.

''Which is the real void?''
In the midst of extreme confusion, Henrietta suddenly thought up of an unimportant matter.

Finishing his spell, Joseph focused his spell into the "Jewel of fire" in his hands. The adjusted spell of "explosion" cracked the strong shell elves constructed.

Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha, the fire jewel began emitting ear piercing vibrations. The immense amount of energy within found their exit and began their riot.

Finally clearing her head, Henrietta dashed to Joseph's food, trying to grab his hand. Her efforts, unfortunately, were impeded by a statue pouncing on her with unnatural power, ending up sprawling up over the deck.

"I invited you to visit hell with me, yet this is what you give me"

"You are insane!"

At Carcassone there's the Romalia army, there's Louise, Tiffania, the Water Spirit Ondine Knights, as well as Saito....

The reason she left them in the dark about her visit to Gallia was because she did not want more trouble for them. If they heard of her coming alone to Lutece, they would have ignored all danger and rush to Lutece.

Turns out her decisions were all wrong.

Never would she imagine Joseph using such cruel tactics.... combining the power of void with destructive magic. Far far far from what Henrietta ever imagined.

"If I can do it, I would surely like to become insane. At least you're happier while insane."
Joseph mumbled with a self-deprecating voice and threw the "fire jewel" off the vessel. Prepared, a stone statue caught the "fire jewel" and flew off in the distance.

Henrietta felt her heart fill with black despair.
''At least let me go insane"''
As if rejecting temptation from within, Henrietta yelled
"Run! Everyone! Run!"

Expectations of the dual use fleet were suddenly replaced with a fireball of a size unseen before. Both camps along the Lelion river were silent.

The ball of flames rose like the sun, then disappeared in front of their eyes.

The couple dozen of war vessels vanished like a magic trick without a trace. Even the smartest person will have to spend half a minute of time to catch up that they were burn to ashes.

Unable to perceive the events, the entire army stood dumbly watching the empty sky as if expecting the fleet to come back anytime soon. A couple minutes later, only when an even more gigantic ball of fire appeared, removing the remnants of what was the dual use fleet, did the panic started to spread.

Both soldiers of Romalia and Gallia camps started to scurry like ants from an anthill.

Enemies? Allies? For both sides, this question isn't exactly important anymore. Natural instincts of fear occupied both armies.

But where could they run to? Attempting to outrun an expanding fireball of 10 miles radius, no matter how you look at it, is an impossible feat.

"What is that...."

In the middle of scurrying soldiers, Saito choked, stunned.

The Water Spirit Ondine Knights carried slight rigid smiles. Something as unrealistic as this could only be taken as a joke.

Louise shook Saito's shoulders back and forth.
"It's void! That's Gallia's void! I'm sure of it!"

"There's a spell like this? Just like the sun itself falling...."
Louise slapped the dumbfound Saito's face.

"Get a hold of yourself! Things have already turned out like this! Just run!"

Hearing Louise's words, finally waking from their trance, the teens began running.

"Run! Saito!"
Exactly that moment, with a whoosh, a blue shadow dropped down and grabbed both Saito and Louise, just to take off again.

"Silpheed!"

Looking below them, Saito cried out
"Oi! You're only saving us? What about everyone else?"

"They won't make it anyway! Chirp!"
Silpheed cried back. True. Magic or not, escaping from the grasps of such a gigantic fireball is impossible.

"That.... is the release of elven magic! Probably an explosion of a 'fire jewel'! With human magic, there is nothing you can do! Chirp!"
Silpheed cried with an anxious voice.

"What do we do?"

"Only you are capable of stopping that person! Even if sister won't be able to do a thing!"

Using the powers of her vision, Silpheed began searching the skies. With eyes far exceeding the ability of human eyes, Silpheed discovered a lone vessel at the northeast direction.

"There!"

Not sure if the intentions of Silpheed were understood in the midst of the chaos, Paladins riding pegasi also began flying.

Leading the pegasuses, carrying a void user in her claws, Silpheed flew at top speed in the direction of Joseph.

172.69.55.25: /* Chapter 7: Henrietta's Diplomatic Plan */

===Chapter 7: Henrietta's Diplomatic Plan===

As the royal escort was about to arrive above the grounds of Gallia's capital, Lutece, Henrietta stared in front of her with dignity. Across her the Captain of the Tristain Musketeers Agnès double checked the handgun carried on her waist.

"What is it? My captain"

"No...., I find it hard to remain at ease"
Agnès said without attempting cover up her surrender to her feelings. Despite so, Henrietta's expression was as calm as ever.

Outside the windows of the sedan chair hanging under a dragon's belly, they could see the formation of Gallian dragon riders flying in parallel. Armed more heavily than usual, though by name their task is to be an escort, in actual they are putting Henrietta's royal transport under close watch.

"But your majesty...., rather than calling our current situation 'rash', I believe 'temerity' would fit better, visiting a country we just had a battle with a few days ago."
Agnès said while sighing.

"Oh? Those people my army fought a few days ago were 'Gallian Rebels'. Besides, Romalia may have raised a crusade, my country remains at peace with Gallia. Therefore, officially there was never a conflict between my country and Gallia to begin with"
Henrietta replied, her expressions continuing to remain as calm as ever. However....., her slightly trembling hands did not go unnoticed by Agnès. She may be keeping a good act, but in reality she must be very distressed.

"The Water Spirit Ondine Knights and the so-called Saint of Aquilleia Miss Françoise are the headlines of the Romalian army, if Gallia condemned us for it, how do you plan to respond?"

"I'll simply tell them 'They belong to the Romalian army', it's not like this had never happened before. As for Louise, that right, I'll say she is a Romalia nun fighting under the name of God for Romalia. Mmn, no matter what reason it is, it'll work out"

Agnès looked discontent, and shook her head.

With no other company, Henrietta brought only Agnès with her. It could almost be said as charging barehanded into "enemy territory" Gallia.

Romalia's sudden announcement of a "Crusade" has caused quite a bit of a stir in Tristain. Almost all aristocrats and lords bore a grieving frown on their forehead.

Except for the over religious believers, Crusade is a synonym for nightmare. All nobles in the country will be gathered, young teens will be collected into armies, and the treasury will be emptied for a war. Plus...., even if they appeared victorious at the end, the only prize they get is an undeveloped desert and honor, hardly enough to cover the losses in the war. Most important of all, the chances of losing is considerably higher than the chances of winning. Many times in history have smaller countries sought their own destruction from the failure of crusades. If one had to trace the origin of Halkeginia, it was also born from the rebellion of exhausted marquises.

Too many people. Compared to an unseen plot of land, their lives in front of them were much more important.

Since Henrietta's return to her own country, she had sworn to end this crusade and shut herself in her office thereafter to build a diplomatic plan towards Gallia.

A week later, after completion, Henrietta gathered all important nobles and told them
"I will negotiate directly with the Gallian King himself"

Of course, Tristain's nobles, including Mazarin, even her own mother Queen Marion rejected the idea of Henrietta heading towards Gallia. The reasons for so are more than obvious. The head of a country heading towards a rather hostile country to "negotiate", never had an adventure so daring ever occurred since the long establishment of Halkenia. It is no wonder Agnès is feeling uneasy.

Henrietta even went as far as suggesting stepping down from the throne if they continued to refuse. Only then did the nobles agree.

"Your highness....., can you promise me one thing?"

"What is it"

"I understand that you feel responsible for the cause of this 'Crusade', but....., your majesty's life does not hold only the future of one person. If anything terrible happened to your majesty, our country will turn into chaos. Moreover, the possibility for this to happen isn't exactly low either"

"After defeating Gallia, Romalia will build their own army to recover the Holy lands. If we refuse to offer support, I will be forced to step down. Which means, either way our country can't escape the future of becoming chaotic. Heh, maybe things could turn even worse....., I'm sure you know how past armies set forth to recover the Holy lands have put the entire Halkeginia into grieving"

Agnès could not make a good counter. Just the fact of stepping down from the throne is already too large a matter.

"Without me, the country can still work normally. Whether it's Prime Minister Mazarin, my mother, or the rest of the lords, the structure is still intact. On the other hand....., if anything as close as a large scaled war happened between us and the elves, the entire Halkeginia will crumble soon afterwards"
Henrietta gripped her hands even tighter.

"With my own life...., if that's already enough to place a bet, it is certainly, very inexpensive indeed."

"Looks like you have successfully refuted me"
Agnès replied as if losing interest. Suddenly sensing something, Henrietta turned apologetic
"Oh, sorry. About bringing you into this as well."

"That's alright. Since I volunteered for the army I was ready for anything. As the captain of your majesty's personal guards, compared to the safety of Halkenia, I am more concerned about your highness's safety."

"Ah, but I did not plan to come here just to lose my bet. I also made my own preperations. To King Joseph, this suggestion is just as exquisite"
Henrietta directly pointed out, hugging her briefcase full of documents. Within the briefcase, the contents of the dipolmatic plans were almost under disagreement by all valued lords.

"Impossible"
So the lords said. On the contrary, there was one single person who voted in approval.

That was Prime Minster Cardinal Mazarin. Kneeling in front of Henrietta, who had spent days without sleep planning every detail
"I'm very glad to witness the growth of your majesty"
was all he said.

Soon after the Palace Versailles, famous for its vast empty area, appeared in front of them, the dragon riders who have been accompanying Henrietta's sedan chair from the borders onwards landed in the courtyard forming a circle.

The sedan chair Henrietta was riding in slowly landed in the middle of the circle. Guards who have been awaiting her arrival immediately rushed forward to open her door.

The simplicity of Henrietta's welcome shocked Agnès. There was no guards of honor, nor any sign of a band. Gallia is still considered as a influential empire of Halkeginia, despite being at war, there are still standards for welcoming a Queen.

Agnès finally had a good feel of what a country with half of its people rebelling looks like. After surveying their welcome, Henrietta began to observe the Palace itself with no visible expression on her face.

There, she stopped, turning still like a statue.

"What's wrong, your highness?"
Agnes also turned to where Henrietta was looking at, and could not help but gulp. Across the courtyard is what should be originally Joseph's castle, the remains of Grand Troyes. The blue, beautiful palace had collasped into a wreck.

"There were rumors of a rebel...., was that the cause of it"
Agnes asked. The knights around them were just as unreadable, but with much experience in battle, Agnes could easily see what they were thinking - terror.

"....Looks good for a negotiation"

Under pressure from the chaos within, the morale of the small amount of knights plunging, if Gallia is under so much trouble already, then the chances of agreeing to Henrietta's plans most certainly are higher.

A female wearing headbands appeared from the surrounding knights. Dressed in full black clothing, they emit some sort of suspicious aura.
"Welcome to the Kingdom of Gallia. We heartily welcome Queen Henrietta's arrival."

The woman took a deep bow. Facing the head of country, yet not taking any attempt to remove their cloaks, Henrietta did not feel the need to return a bow, ignoring them as thin air.

"This way please. My master has been waiting"
Not worried at all, the woman began walking. With no choice, Henrietta followed. Although displeased by the rude treatment, recalling the memory of Joseph's attitude at the international meeting helped Henrietta think otherwise.

The woman's voice sounded familiar to Agnes, who slightly frowned. Where exactly did they meet before? After some extensive searching through her memories, she finally remembered.

"I seem to have met you and your partners before"
The woman turned her head around, smiling omniously towards Agnes.

"At Albion, no?"
Agnes responded under her breath. Henrietta looked at Agnes from the corner of her eye.

"....She is the female who have assaulted Miss Françoise a few times. I fear the giant armoured golems were also led by her..."

This time, Henrietta gave a stern look.

"For your information, those are called '''Golomontas'''"
The woman said without care.

The Queen and her Captain were brought to the dining room of the Guest Hall. Sitting at the other end of the dining table was Joseph, waiting alone.

Without guards nor maids, the dining hall looked empty and loney. There were not much food prepared on the desk either.

The woman wearing the headband......, like a shadow, Myoznitnirn stood motionless behind Joseph.

Agnes pulled the out the chair facing Joseph, allowing Henrietta to sit down on it. As if replacing a greeting, Joseph yawned loudly.

"Morning, Queen Henrietta"

"Good day, King Joseph"

Across the long dining table, the two powers faced each other. With that the greetings ended, and so begins the negiotiation.

Although today's visit has been notified to Gallia, yet not a single diplomat, advisor, nor clerk was present. It was just a simple, cold talk.

Agnes took out the documents from Henrietta's briefcase and walked beautifully to Joseph's side, placing the documents down in front of him with respect.

Joseph casually held up the documents and flipped through it page by page. With no apparant change in expression after finish reading, supporting his head with his elbow, he turned towards Henrietta again.

"What an amazing suggestion. On behalf of Halkenia, announcing new status of one Halkeginia King. All countries must follow his orders..... except for Romalia."

"Mhm. To me, the Pope of Romalia is only here because he gives a symbol of 'authority'"

"This says that there will be other supporters, is that true?"

"It is. Only under one condition, to sever all ties with elves. Just that. Why did you ally yourself with elves, King Joseph, all you wish for is the entire Halkeginia to be under your command, isn't it? I plan to fulfill your wish"

"This is quite a staggering suggestion. But will Germania agree?"

"Germania's king was a filthy king to begin with. He even dare call himself king, this is the symbol of his low self-esteem. Those kind of dirty peasants will not dare go against Tristain and Gallia's combined will."

"This is very surprising indeed, Queen Henrietta. I originally thought you were going to ally with Romalia to invade my country, but here you are instead offering alliance with our country! You are a brilliant politician! I really wronged you!"

"Thank you for your exaggerated praise. Instead of elves, it would be me who will be honoring you with the throne of Halkenia"

A smile appeared on Joseph's face.
"What is your goal?"

Henrietta instantly displayed a charming expression and replied firmly
"If the ties between Gallia and elves are severed, the 'Crusade' will therefore end. Compared to a war involving every single person on this world, I'd rather ally myself with the 'incompetent King'"

"I will be in direct conflict with Romalia, this is fighting fire with fire?"

"Even in the same hell, I'd want to choose the good side"

Joseph nodded his head in pleasure.
"Now this is what politics is about. Alright. Well then, I have my own request"

"what would it me"

"be my wife"

Henrietta couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Oh my, you are actually serious."

Henrietta bit her lips. For the first time in their meeting hatred could be seen in her eyes. Henrietta nodded her head.
"I agree"

"Your Highness!"
Agnes who was silent all along cried out. Henrietta held her back with her hand, then nodded again.

"It would be my pleasure to do so"
Henrietta's body was in complete rejection.

Agnes understood that when Henrietta said "she would do anything to stop this crusade", she meant it.

Joseph seemed to look at Henrietta happily, eventually bursting into laughters. Joseph's laughters echoed through the entire dining hall.

[[Image:ZnT15-177.jpg|thumb]]

"Hahaahahahhaah! Don't take it seriously! I'm not very forgiving. I would never sleep with a woman who doesn't like me"

Henrietta's blushed from her self brought shame. Joseph stood up and walked towards Henrietta. With his big hands, he held Henrietta's chin.

Just about to draw her sword out, Agnes suddenly felt the statue behind her hold down her hands stealthly.

"You sly fox"
Joseph said teasingly.
"Do you plan to cut off my head at night"

Henrietta used her best bluffing voice and replied
"You, you have seen through me!"

Joseph's smile slowly became fixed on his face.
"I like it. I like it more and more. I can't believe I took you as just another little girl! This is going to be the best joke ever! You are absolutely comparable to the ancient warlords! Plus you are brave and smart. You will become a good Queen, Queen Henrietta"

Joseph returned to his seat. With a snap of his fingers, the status released Agnes's wrists. Agnes coughed painfully.

With a quick glance at Agnes, Henrietta continued
"....then, please hurry and send out notices. With the support of Tristain, Albion and Germania behind you, Romalia will lose their will as well"

Yet, Joseph did not reply.

"King Joseph?"

Joseph scratched his head as if finding it hard to speak
"But. Very sadly, I have no intention to go with this suggestion"

"This there something missing? Isn't it not enough to have the world?"

"If I were an ambitious man....., I would go with your plan without hesitation. But, that is not all. Not all"
Joseph shook his head. Using a gangster's tone, he firmly said
"I do not want this world"

"What do you mean?"
Henrietta felt an ominous aura seep into her mind, rapidly filling her up. For some reason, she was reminded those terrifing stories she read when she was small.

"Oh, there is no need to be ashamed of your 'misconception'. No one would have complaints against your suggestions. Even myself can't think up of better 'plans'. This is outstanding work. But..., you are heading in the wrong direction. I'm afraid even god himself could not have expected this."

"What are you suggesting?"

"You mentioned before - 'even in the same hell, you'd want to choose the good side'"

"That's right"

"I simply want to see that hell"

"You must be joking"

"By no means. I simply just want to witness hell. I want to see the unbearable, the never seen before, the hell corrupting my mind"

Henrietta felt weak all over. Agnes nervously supported the almost falling Henrietta. This makes less and less sense. Originally she thought Joseph was an ambitious man trying to get the whole world, seeing his actions of assaulting "void" and now allying with elves, even going as far as attacking Romalia with a so called "rebellion".

But the man in front of her eyes is denying all of it.

Not only saying "that's not all", he went on and said that he "simply want to see that hell" this kind of senseless lines.

But....., he is serious about what he says. The solemn expression of Joseph saying all this, seemed kind of sad.

"Therefore, I decided to create a small version of hell with the 'crusade'. It's also the only reason why you are so active. Since you are here already, why don't you visit some of Gallia, Queen Henrietta"

Meanwhile, at Carcassonne.....

As mentioned the night before, the Saito at day was as if a different person from last night, as if the things never happened last night, Saito went on to have a conversation at the dining hall with a completely natural face

"Hey, Tabitha, morning"

Tabitha responded with a nod, all while her eyes fixed on her book. Afterwards Saito joined the Water Spirit Ondine Knights and began their usual talks.

Louise was together with Tiffania eating bread. Looking both of them Tabitha couldn't help but slightly sigh, the guilty feelings towards Louise conflicting with the unexpectedly warm, sweet ones lingering in her heart. Did the things really happen last night?

Yet.... the warm touch still lingering on her neck confirmed its genuinity, the places touched by Saito's lips burning ever so hot.

Tabitha bit her lips and casually flipped another page of the book.

Since when, Kirche had already sat down next to her. Instantly Kirche realised something was off with her best friend. After resisting and finally succumbing to her urge, she whispered in Tabitha's ears
"You, it's time for a confession, what happened?"

Tabitha shook her head.
"....Nothing"

About the events of succeeding the throne,..... or the things that occured last night, none of them could be mentioned to Kirche.

"You know that there are no secrets between us, right?"

Tabitha decided to ignore problems of their friendship for the time being, then stood up, indicating she hopes Kirche will leave this matter for now.

Carcassonne's view was bathed in the warm morning sunlight. Tabitha suddenly found the true meaning of finding the "warmth" of the sun, her body given a new supply of happiness.

A feeling was persistantly nagging her, nagging her how the night is so much to look forward to. This unbearable anxious wait surpasses even coronation, surpasses all desire to seek revenge....

Next to a flowerbed at the side of the road, Tabitha stopped her footsteps.

A handful of sky blue coloured irises were blossoming furiously. Remembering her dull room, Tabitha couldn't help but reach out and pick a few. Seeing flowers of the same colour as her own hair, Tabitha felt herself grow red.

At night, when her door was knocked on....

Tabitha gave the already asleep Slipheed one more spell of tranquility, allowing it to enter an even deeper slumber. Slipheed's breathing became even heavier.

Anxious all over, Tabitha hurriedly opened the door. Dressed the same as last night, Saito suddenly hugged her. Letting it go, Tabitha buried her head into Saito's chest.

Without saying anything else, Saito lifted Tabitha's chin and planted a kiss.

Tabitha closed her eyes, allowing the other to do whatever he wishes. Since last night, she had realised that it feels very comfortable.

Saito lightly carried Tabitha and put her into bed.

Tabitha's face surfaced an very uncommon colour - faint red. Her cute small chest also puffed up and down out of anxious and excitement.

Discovering that the desk was decorated with a blue iris inside a winebottle, Saito smiled.

"Flower picking? Now this is unusual"

"....It's because this room, doesn't have much in it."

[[Image:ZnT15-185.jpg|thumb]]

"That's better"
Saito took the flower out from the winebottle and placed it into Tabitha's hair. Like a hairband, the iris fits perfectly into Tabitha's hair.

Saito took off the shy Tabitha's glasses.

"...Glasses."

"You look prettier without it."

"can't see anything."

"Don't you shut your eyes when you're shy?"
Saito pressed his lips against hers, lasting for quite a moment before leaving.

".....Eh?"

"I have to go, there's not much time, it's alright, there's nothing to worry about."
Just as sudden as his entry, Saito took his leave.

The left behind Tabitha could only stare at his silhouette.

When the door was knocked on again, full of expectations, Tabitha opened her door wide just to find Julio behind it, her facial expressions immediately fading.

"That really fits you, Princess Charlotte."

Tabitha covered her head. After plucking the beautifully placed flower, she carefully returned it to its winebottle.

Julio changed to his solemn expression and bowed.

"I am here to recieve you, although I believe you have already heard of it from Saito."

That was how Saito put it last night, that the messenger from Romalia will arrive soon....., forgetting all "suspicions" Tabitha earnestly followed the orders of the other, nodding her head in agreement.

Her first romance, has dulled her assessment abilities.

Zero no Tsukaima:Volume15 Chapter7

172.69.55.25: /* Chapter 7: Henrietta's Diplomatic Plan */

===Chapter 7: Henrietta's Diplomatic Plan===

As the royal escort was about to arrive above the grounds of Gallia's capital, Lutece, Henrietta stared in front of her with dignity. Across her the Captain of the Tristain Musketeers Agnès double checked the handgun carried on her waist.

"What is it? My captain"

"No...., I find it hard to remain at ease"
Agnès said without attempting cover up her surrender to her feelings. Despite so, Henrietta's expression was as calm as ever.

Outside the windows of the sedan chair hanging under a dragon's belly, they could see the formation of Gallian dragon riders flying in parallel. Armed more heavily than usual, though by name their task is to be an escort, in actual they are putting Henrietta's royal transport under close watch.

"But your majesty...., rather than calling our current situation 'rash', I believe 'temerity' would fit better, visiting a country we just had a battle with a few days ago."
Agnès said while sighing.

"Oh? Those people my army fought a few days ago were 'Gallian Rebels'. Besides, Romalia may have raised a crusade, my country remains at peace with Gallia. Therefore, officially there was never a conflict between my country and Gallia to begin with"
Henrietta replied, her expressions continuing to remain as calm as ever. However....., her slightly trembling hands did not go unnoticed by Agnès. She may be keeping a good act, but in reality she must be very distressed.

"The Water Spirit Ondine Knights and the so-called Saint of Aquilleia Miss Françoise are the headlines of the Romalian army, if Gallia condemned us for it, how do you plan to respond?"

"I'll simply tell them 'They belong to the Romalian army', it's not like this had never happened before. As for Louise, that right, I'll say she is a Romalia nun fighting under the name of God for Romalia. Mmn, no matter what reason it is, it'll work out"

Agnès looked discontent, and shook her head.

With no other company, Henrietta brought only Agnès with her. It could almost be said as charging barehanded into "enemy territory" Gallia.

Romalia's sudden announcement of a "Crusade" has caused quite a bit of a stir in Tristain. Almost all aristocrats and lords bore a grieving frown on their forehead.

Except for the over religious believers, Crusade is a synonym for nightmare. All nobles in the country will be gathered, young teens will be collected into armies, and the treasury will be emptied for a war. Plus...., even if they appeared victorious at the end, the only prize they get is an undeveloped desert and honor, hardly enough to cover the losses in the war. Most important of all, the chances of losing is considerably higher than the chances of winning. Many times in history have smaller countries sought their own destruction from the failure of crusades. If one had to trace the origin of Halkeginia, it was also born from the rebellion of exhausted marquises.

Too many people. Compared to an unseen plot of land, their lives in front of them were much more important.

Since Henrietta's return to her own country, she had sworn to end this crusade and shut herself in her office thereafter to build a diplomatic plan towards Gallia.

A week later, after completion, Henrietta gathered all important nobles and told them
"I will negotiate directly with the Gallian King himself"

Of course, Tristain's nobles, including Mazarin, even her own mother Queen Marion rejected the idea of Henrietta heading towards Gallia. The reasons for so are more than obvious. The head of a country heading towards a rather hostile country to "negotiate", never had an adventure so daring ever occurred since the long establishment of Halkenia. It is no wonder Agnès is feeling uneasy.

Henrietta even went as far as suggesting stepping down from the throne if they continued to refuse. Only then did the nobles agree.

"Your highness....., can you promise me one thing?"

"What is it"

"I understand that you feel responsible for the cause of this 'Crusade', but....., your majesty's life does not hold only the future of one person. If anything terrible happened to your majesty, our country will turn into chaos. Moreover, the possibility for this to happen isn't exactly low either"

"After defeating Gallia, Romalia will build their own army to recover the Holy lands. If we refuse to offer support, I will be forced to step down. Which means, either way our country can't escape the future of becoming chaotic. Heh, maybe things could turn even worse....., I'm sure you know how past armies set forth to recover the Holy lands have put the entire Halkeginia into grieving"

Agnès could not make a good counter. Just the fact of stepping down from the throne is already too large a matter.

"Without me, the country can still work normally. Whether it's Prime Minister Mazarin, my mother, or the rest of the lords, the structure is still intact. On the other hand....., if anything as close as a large scaled war happened between us and the elves, the entire Halkenia will crumble soon afterwards"
Henrietta gripped her hands even tighter.

"With my own life...., if that's already enough to place a bet, it is certainly, very inexpensive indeed."

"Looks like you have successfully refuted me"
Agnès replied as if losing interest. Suddenly sensing something, Henrietta turned apologetic
"Oh, sorry. About bringing you into this as well."

"That's alright. Since I volunteered for the army I was ready for anything. As the captain of your majesty's personal guards, compared to the safety of Halkenia, I am more concerned about your highness's safety."

"Ah, but I did not plan to come here just to lose my bet. I also made my own preperations. To King Joseph, this suggestion is just as exquisite"
Henrietta directly pointed out, hugging her briefcase full of documents. Within the briefcase, the contents of the dipolmatic plans were almost under disagreement by all valued lords.

"Impossible"
So the lords said. On the contrary, there was one single person who voted in approval.

That was Prime Minster Cardinal Mazarin. Kneeling in front of Henrietta, who had spent days without sleep planning every detail
"I'm very glad to witness the growth of your majesty"
was all he said.

Soon after the Palace Versailles, famous for its vast empty area, appeared in front of them, the dragon riders who have been accompanying Henrietta's sedan chair from the borders onwards landed in the courtyard forming a circle.

The sedan chair Henrietta was riding in slowly landed in the middle of the circle. Guards who have been awaiting her arrival immediately rushed forward to open her door.

The simplicity of Henrietta's welcome shocked Agnès. There was no guards of honor, nor any sign of a band. Gallia is still considered as a influential empire of Halkeginia, despite being at war, there are still standards for welcoming a Queen.

Agnès finally had a good feel of what a country with half of its people rebelling looks like. After surveying their welcome, Henrietta began to observe the Palace itself with no visible expression on her face.

There, she stopped, turning still like a statue.

"What's wrong, your highness?"
Agnes also turned to where Henrietta was looking at, and could not help but gulp. Across the courtyard is what should be originally Joseph's castle, the remains of Grand Troyes. The blue, beautiful palace had collasped into a wreck.

"There were rumors of a rebel...., was that the cause of it"
Agnes asked. The knights around them were just as unreadable, but with much experience in battle, Agnes could easily see what they were thinking - terror.

"....Looks good for a negotiation"

Under pressure from the chaos within, the morale of the small amount of knights plunging, if Gallia is under so much trouble already, then the chances of agreeing to Henrietta's plans most certainly are higher.

A female wearing headbands appeared from the surrounding knights. Dressed in full black clothing, they emit some sort of suspicious aura.
"Welcome to the Kingdom of Gallia. We heartily welcome Queen Henrietta's arrival."

The woman took a deep bow. Facing the head of country, yet not taking any attempt to remove their cloaks, Henrietta did not feel the need to return a bow, ignoring them as thin air.

"This way please. My master has been waiting"
Not worried at all, the woman began walking. With no choice, Henrietta followed. Although displeased by the rude treatment, recalling the memory of Joseph's attitude at the international meeting helped Henrietta think otherwise.

The woman's voice sounded familiar to Agnes, who slightly frowned. Where exactly did they meet before? After some extensive searching through her memories, she finally remembered.

"I seem to have met you and your partners before"
The woman turned her head around, smiling omniously towards Agnes.

"At Albion, no?"
Agnes responded under her breath. Henrietta looked at Agnes from the corner of her eye.

"....She is the female who have assaulted Miss Françoise a few times. I fear the giant armoured golems were also led by her..."

This time, Henrietta gave a stern look.

"For your information, those are called '''Golomontas'''"
The woman said without care.

The Queen and her Captain were brought to the dining room of the Guest Hall. Sitting at the other end of the dining table was Joseph, waiting alone.

Without guards nor maids, the dining hall looked empty and loney. There were not much food prepared on the desk either.

The woman wearing the headband......, like a shadow, Myoznitnirn stood motionless behind Joseph.

Agnes pulled the out the chair facing Joseph, allowing Henrietta to sit down on it. As if replacing a greeting, Joseph yawned loudly.

"Morning, Queen Henrietta"

"Good day, King Joseph"

Across the long dining table, the two powers faced each other. With that the greetings ended, and so begins the negiotiation.

Although today's visit has been notified to Gallia, yet not a single diplomat, advisor, nor clerk was present. It was just a simple, cold talk.

Agnes took out the documents from Henrietta's briefcase and walked beautifully to Joseph's side, placing the documents down in front of him with respect.

Joseph casually held up the documents and flipped through it page by page. With no apparant change in expression after finish reading, supporting his head with his elbow, he turned towards Henrietta again.

"What an amazing suggestion. On behalf of Halkenia, announcing new status of one Halkeginia King. All countries must follow his orders..... except for Romalia."

"Mhm. To me, the Pope of Romalia is only here because he gives a symbol of 'authority'"

"This says that there will be other supporters, is that true?"

"It is. Only under one condition, to sever all ties with elves. Just that. Why did you ally yourself with elves, King Joseph, all you wish for is the entire Halkeginia to be under your command, isn't it? I plan to fulfill your wish"

"This is quite a staggering suggestion. But will Germania agree?"

"Germania's king was a filthy king to begin with. He even dare call himself king, this is the symbol of his low self-esteem. Those kind of dirty peasants will not dare go against Tristain and Gallia's combined will."

"This is very surprising indeed, Queen Henrietta. I originally thought you were going to ally with Romalia to invade my country, but here you are instead offering alliance with our country! You are a brilliant politician! I really wronged you!"

"Thank you for your exaggerated praise. Instead of elves, it would be me who will be honoring you with the throne of Halkenia"

A smile appeared on Joseph's face.
"What is your goal?"

Henrietta instantly displayed a charming expression and replied firmly
"If the ties between Gallia and elves are severed, the 'Crusade' will therefore end. Compared to a war involving every single person on this world, I'd rather ally myself with the 'incompetent King'"

"I will be in direct conflict with Romalia, this is fighting fire with fire?"

"Even in the same hell, I'd want to choose the good side"

Joseph nodded his head in pleasure.
"Now this is what politics is about. Alright. Well then, I have my own request"

"what would it me"

"be my wife"

Henrietta couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Oh my, you are actually serious."

Henrietta bit her lips. For the first time in their meeting hatred could be seen in her eyes. Henrietta nodded her head.
"I agree"

"Your Highness!"
Agnes who was silent all along cried out. Henrietta held her back with her hand, then nodded again.

"It would be my pleasure to do so"
Henrietta's body was in complete rejection.

Agnes understood that when Henrietta said "she would do anything to stop this crusade", she meant it.

Joseph seemed to look at Henrietta happily, eventually bursting into laughters. Joseph's laughters echoed through the entire dining hall.

[[Image:ZnT15-177.jpg|thumb]]

"Hahaahahahhaah! Don't take it seriously! I'm not very forgiving. I would never sleep with a woman who doesn't like me"

Henrietta's blushed from her self brought shame. Joseph stood up and walked towards Henrietta. With his big hands, he held Henrietta's chin.

Just about to draw her sword out, Agnes suddenly felt the statue behind her hold down her hands stealthly.

"You sly fox"
Joseph said teasingly.
"Do you plan to cut off my head at night"

Henrietta used her best bluffing voice and replied
"You, you have seen through me!"

Joseph's smile slowly became fixed on his face.
"I like it. I like it more and more. I can't believe I took you as just another little girl! This is going to be the best joke ever! You are absolutely comparable to the ancient warlords! Plus you are brave and smart. You will become a good Queen, Queen Henrietta"

Joseph returned to his seat. With a snap of his fingers, the status released Agnes's wrists. Agnes coughed painfully.

With a quick glance at Agnes, Henrietta continued
"....then, please hurry and send out notices. With the support of Tristain, Albion and Germania behind you, Romalia will lose their will as well"

Yet, Joseph did not reply.

"King Joseph?"

Joseph scratched his head as if finding it hard to speak
"But. Very sadly, I have no intention to go with this suggestion"

"This there something missing? Isn't it not enough to have the world?"

"If I were an ambitious man....., I would go with your plan without hesitation. But, that is not all. Not all"
Joseph shook his head. Using a gangster's tone, he firmly said
"I do not want this world"

"What do you mean?"
Henrietta felt an omnious aura seep into her mind, rapidly filling her up. For some reason, she was reminded those terrifing stories she read when she was small.

"Oh, there is no need to be ashamed of your 'misconception'. No one would have complaints against your suggestions. Even myself can't think up of better 'plans'. This is outstanding work. But..., you are heading in the wrong direction. I'm afraid even god himself could not have expected this."

"What are you suggesting?"

"You mentioned before - 'even in the same hell, you'd want to choose the good side'"

"That's right"

"I simply want to see that hell"

"You must be joking"

"By no means. I simply just want to witness hell. I want to see the unbearable, the never seen before, the hell corrupting my mind"

Henrietta felt weak all over. Agnes nervously supported the almost falling Henrietta. This makes less and less sense. Originally she thought Joseph was an ambitious man trying to get the whole world, seeing his actions of assaulting "void" and now allying with elves, even going as far as attacking Romalia with a so called "rebellion".

But the man in front of her eyes is denying all of it.

Not only saying "that's not all", he went on and said that he "simply want to see that hell" this kind of senseless lines.

But....., he is serious about what he says. The solemn expression of Joseph saying all this, seemed kind of sad.

"Therefore, I decided to create a small version of hell with the 'crusade'. It's also the only reason why you are so active. Since you are here already, why don't you visit some of Gallia, Queen Henrietta"

Meanwhile, at Carcassonne.....

As mentioned the night before, the Saito at day was as if a different person from last night, as if the things never happened last night, Saito went on to have a conversation at the dining hall with a completely natural face

"Hey, Tabitha, morning"

Tabitha responded with a nod, all while her eyes fixed on her book. Afterwards Saito joined the Water Spirit Ondine Knights and began their usual talks.

Louise was together with Tiffania eating bread. Looking both of them Tabitha couldn't help but slightly sigh, the guilty feelings towards Louise conflicting with the unexpectedly warm, sweet ones lingering in her heart. Did the things really happen last night?
