Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

Blake2020; Thanks very much!

wweTheBeast2015; Thank you! Yeah, things are gonna become exciting from here!

ChaosJeff; He surely is~ Kuroka isn't going to hold back~ And indeed yeah, no screen time, but I've got some good things for Ophis in the future when we get there.

Yog pratama; They surely are! Very bold! Thanks! It surely is...well, her, and some others as well~ Yeah, Makoto vs Sona's gonna be a rollercoster~ That would be cool. Ise really doesn't need a new weapon, check out what he's got already in the canon series.

Dragonsayianblue; Thanks! Yup very intense now~ He did yeah, he met the Vali team in full! For a brief moment it seems. They had a cute moment huh, very nice~ Orochi did yeah, under many reasons, we'll be seeing some growth for her soon. Well, Orochi's rather powerful, so don't count her out yet, and she's got her poison so it wont be an easy fight, even with help. He's their leader, so calling them 'King' wouldn't be a stretch. Actually, Chelia is...well, I wont spoil it, but Chelia's very powerful, I wont say how powerful yet, but she's very powerful, and someone you wouldn't want to mess with. Maybe you never know~ Basically, it is something like that, though more complicated as we dive into it. As for Orochi, she just wants her family back, that's all. Apep's plans are far more sinister. Eh, they won a few times, but Makoto and the gang won against Gren during the Factions Meeting and Apep as well.

Nivek Beldo; They surely are yeah, Orochi's gonna be a very dangerous enemy to face. Hehe, he can yeah~ He can Dragon up now, he just can't turn back, and indeed, Vali was more than willing to...help. She did yeah, in a weird way, they bonded over their half breed status. Yeah, Vali's not the type to say that she loves someone, other than Makoto that is, that's what was very surprising to them. It seems like it yeah, as Cao Cao said, Makoto is a weakness (at least emotionally from a battle point of view) to the Heavenly Dragon's, so if something happened to Makoto, then it might cause something terrible to happen to the world. Hehe, they have been getting stronger, so telling one another was fun~ Yumi and Serafall surely had fun that night with him. Yeah, it surely was, and not only during the Rating Game with Sona, but we'll be seeing each of their new techniques/powers.

Harem Master123; Thanks! Indeed it surely is, next chapter is gonna be quite the battle. She surely does~

KobayashiSenpai; Ooh no worries at all~ Thanks very much! He has yeah, he's learned a bit and we'll be seeing that during the battles ahead. We'll be seeing a few before that even~ Orochi surely is yeah, and with her and Gren there, it is going to be quite the battle ahead for the pair of them~No worries, Akeno's a great character, and I love hearing your thoughts about them, everyone's thoughts even~ Well, I wont spoil much, but volume 5 is going to have a lemon in it, when that happens, before, after the Rating Game, we'll see, and it is with...I wont spoil~ And thanks very much!

Tohka123; It surely is yeah~ They're becoming quite strong in their own rights~ He can yeah, he can use his Dragon powers now to an extent~ They sure did yeah, Makoto and Akeno are very close with one another now~ Hehem they are very bold girls, aren't they? And indeed~ And thanks, I'll try my best~

ShadowUzumaki55; He is yeah, and yeah, she's beginning to feel a little something something for the boy. Orochi's gonna be quite the breakout character, that's all I can say right now. Kuroka alone, it would be very difficult. Indeed, it's gonna be hard facing down Cao Cao alright, especially with eyes on Makoto.

Justin D; Orochi's quite the deadly girl, we'll be seeing just how much soon. And yeah, we'll be seeing epic things from both of them soon~ And thanks!

Cf96; Thank you!

Silver crow; Thank you! Yup, he's gonna be tapping more into his Dragon powers as we go forward~ Makoto and Akeno have something else to bond over now~ Hehe, I thought that it was fun to have such a meeting~ No, Cao Cao wasn't referenced with either gender, and I haven't made up my mind yet~ Orochi's gonna be facing her, and some others as well~ Well, I've got plans for things in the future, and not all of them are truly Evil, as in case with Orochi, she's not truly evil, but she does bad things to get her family back together. And yeah, it seems interesting! That could be cool~ And yeah, that would be rather interesting going forward~ And yeah, that would be funny~

UsagiAngelRabbit; Very steamy~ Something's gonna go down, we'll be seeing what between this, and next chapter~ And yeah, I might do~

Anime PJ; Indeed, it very much does~ And thanks! Things are gonna build on the hectic, and next chapter is gonna be the hectic part~ And thanks very much for voting!

Anonymous; Hey! It surely has, it's going to have quite the jump in the future~ They surely have yeah, Irina and Asia are going full throttle for her. I guess you can say that it is her goal, one of her goals. She has some other goals as well for the future as well. Hehe, those would be funny, and Irina probably would go weird about that. Well, they basically are quite close now, and Makoto's supported her a lot. Well, she might do yeah~ Eh, written Spanish, no, and spoken, a little bit of it yeah. But I'm not completely fluent, just enough to get by.

Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!


The Evil Dragon and the Neko's part one

Late at night, Koneko looked at the roof of her room in the Sitri castle, thinking about what happened with Orochi and what she would do if she said anything. She didn't want anything bad to happen to Makoto, and she knew if she told anyone, then Orochi would do something.

She didn't want anything bad to happen to Makoto.

She wanted to stay with him.

But if she didn't go, then he'd be in danger, and she couldn't have that happen.

As she thought about it, there was a knock at the door.

[Koneko-chan, it's me, Makoto. Can I come inside?]

Koneko looked at the door, and slowly dragged her body up the bed.

"...Yes, come inside."

Koneko said barely above a whisper.

He heard, and entered the room.

He walked over to the bed, and sat down beside her.

"I'm sorry for coming this late at night, I was just wondering how you are? You know, since how hard you were training, I was hoping you're okay?"

Koneko looked at the young boy, and his smiling face.

She didn't want that smile to disappear.

She wanted him to keep smiling.

She didn't want Orochi to get Makoto.

She got up, hopping onto the young boys lap, and held onto him tightly.

Makoto responded by wrapping his arms around her smaller form on his lap.

"Mako-kun...I'm happy, with you."

Makoto oculd sense a kindness like no other coming from Koneko. Yet, he also sensed something was off as well. He didn't know what it was, but he was sure something was going on with the loli girl before him.

"Koneko-chan..."

"I, didn't think I'd ever be happy again like this...ever since Onee-sama disappeared, I didn't think that I could experience happiness again...but, lately, I smile more...I am happy with Mako-kun. He's helped me so much, you've...done more for me than I deserve..."

"Hey, don't say that. You deserve more than I can give you Koneko-chan."

Koneko shook her head resolutely.

"No, Mako-kun does more than enough for me. That's why..." Koneko's hand took Makoto's own and her eyes peered into his own. "That's why, I'll always do my best to keep you safe, Mako-kun, no matter what."

Makoto knew something was up when she said that.

He couldn't put his finger on what it was though.

"Koneko-chan..."

"Mako-kun..." Her cheeks turned redder by the second. "Mako-kun, I always want to spend all of my time with you. Because, Mako-kun has made me happy for so long. I'm always happy with you, Mako-kun. I'm always smiling with you, Mako-kun. Can you, always stay with me too?"

"Silly, I'll always be with Koneko-chan, but Koneko-chan...are you sure everything is okay? You can talk to me you know?"

Koneko leaned upwards, and ended up kissing Makoto's mouth. He responded by kissing her back, while holding her in his arms. Her smaller frame seemingly became more excited than ever, and her tail wrapped around the boys body, and her legs went around his waist.

She could feel his excitement and her own excitement was growing as well thanks to Makoto's honest body. She was glad that even if she was small, he truly was attracted to her, and that he would care for her.

"Mako-kun, there's nothing wrong." Koneko lied, but her smile grew. Makoto thought that it was the cutest smile ever, and was tempted to kiss her once more to make her smile grow even more. "...I'm glad to have met you, Mako-kun, no matter what else happens in the future, I want to be with Mako-kun, always."

"And we will be, Koneko-chan. I'll always support you, you know? Whenever you're worried, come towards me, and I'll help you in everyway that I can. So tell me, what's going on inside of your heart, okay?"

Koneko almost let her spill her guts…

But she remembered what Orochi said.

If she said anything, she'd hurt Makoto.

She couldn't have that happen.

She desperately wanted to tell him, she hated lying to him.

But she was going to protect him, no matter what.

"...Honestly, there's nothing wrong Mako-kun. But for now, can we kiss some more..." Koneko's cheeks turned even more red than ever before. "...I truly like when we kiss Mako-kun, I want to do more in the future..."

Makoto responded with bringing Koneko closer to his body. She curled up on his lap, her small arms going around his form. Her eyes and his met one more, as he bent his body down once more, and their lips came together once more in a blissful passion.

Though he definitely knew something was wrong.

No matter what, he was going to do his best to find out what was going on with Koneko.

He, didn't want to ever lose Koneko, he never wanted to lose her, no matter what else happens in the future.

He, wasn't going to lose the girl that he had affections for.


Going towards the morning, Makoto, and Yumi laid in their bed together, after enjoying a night of passion between them. Since it had been a month, and they had some time together, they thought that they would join together. And now, Yumi's head laid on Makoto's chest, and his fingers went through her hair, the Underworld's sun hadn't even begun to rise yet, not that either of them bothered, they were just basking in the love that they shared.

They didn't care about whatever else was happening.

They lived in the here and now.

Even if it was their own private world, they enjoyed it all the same.

Yumi's eyes looked towards Makoto briefly, seeing that he had his eyes closed and a smile on his face. She knew he wasn't asleep due to the fact that his hand was still stroking her hair. So she guessed that he was just enjoying the moment, so she decided to do the same thing.

Leaning upwards, she caught his lips in a comforting kiss.

"Hey, I wasn't expecting that~"

Makoto's voice sounded melodious towards the young woman who tittered as a response.

"I couldn't help it, you looked so cute that I had to kiss you. But I am surprised that Vali and Serafall-sama aren't here."

"Sera-tans busy right now, and Vali-chan likes training in the morning and evenings. She'll come back eventually, and want to have some fun." Yumi's cheeks puffed out slightly, Makoto adopting a smile. "Don't tell me you're jealous Yumi-senpai?"

"N-No, why would I be jealous? You've just known Vali longer than myself, so naturally you'd...love her more..."

"Don't be silly Yumi-senpai, I love you all the same. You're all my loves. Hehe, as a human..." His mind drifted off to being an Evil Dragon once more, and then lowered his brows. "...before I became a Devil, I never thought about such things but now as a Devil, I've begun Onii-chan's dreams, and he has as well. But I've got my Yumi-senpai!"

"Yes, you have me Makoto-kun, I'm glad~ I've always had a thing for younger men after all, they're cuter than normal guys."

"Well, I'm glad I'm younger then~"

Yumi showed a delectable smile on her face, and resumed to lay her head on his chest. Makoto's hand returned to her hair, running his fingers through the blonde locks.

"Hey Makoto-kun, soon you'll be having your first Rating Game as a King, are you nervous?"

Yumi wondered, holding onto his hand and laid it on his stomach.

His other hand continued to stroke her long blonde hair and answered while smiling.

"I'd be lying to say that I wasn't. I am nervous, but I have my King's pride on the line. I know others don't believe in me and I've heard the gossip of the Underworld, and how it was unfair to let me, a Low Class, go to the youths Rating Games as a King no less. But to me, it doesn't matter that much because, I've got the backing of everyone around me. It doesn't matter what others say, because I've got to prove myself, don't I?"

Yumi's lips kissed his chest, snuggling deeper into his chest.

"Makoto-kun will be able to do it."

"My, such confidence I see."

He chuckled out, Yumi sharing the same laugh.

"I've already seen Makoto-kun's powers before, and I know he's very intelligent."

"Thanks, Yumi-senpai. I'm going to do my best, no matter what."

"You certainly did your best last night...this morning...whatever. It seems you missed me."

"Yeah, I missed you so much Senpai."

Makoto's words made Yumi's cheeks turn slightly red. Her grey eyes looked up towards him and their eyes tangled together in their blissful state.

"I missed you too Makoto-kun, so much. I'm glad, we get to spend this time together. No matter what else happens Makoto-kun, keep me with you, okay? No matter how long, I always want to be with you."

Makoto's face turned kinder, using his fingers to brush over her skin.

"Of course, I love you Yumi-senpai."

"I love you too, Makoto-kun..."

Yumi raised her head, while Makoto lowered his own. Their lips naturally met in the middle, Yumi's connected hand with Makoto's was slowly moved towards her breast. Making it, she spread his hand on her large breast, and then her eyes danced upon his own.

"Yumi-senpai...now?"

Yumi developed a slightly lewd face.

"I'm sorry, I can't help it Makoto-kun, you make me feel...for you, and I want to experience you again before the sun comes up. We might not have this chance to come together for a while after this. Buchou has things that need doing, and I'm sure Makoto-kun's going to be preparing for the games ahead."

"I'll always make time for you, Yumi-senpai. Because, I need my Yumi-senpai in my life~"

"Good, because I need you as well in my life. So, what do you think Makoto-kun? Do you want to spend time together?"

"Yes, I'd love to spend time with you, Yumi-senpai..."

"That's good, because remember we have to start our family."

Makoto smiled softly, stroking her blonde hair.

"Yes, our family. Yumi-senpai, lets make our family here..."

"I hope so Makoto-kun, I really do. But we've got many years together to do that. Though we've been doing the deed a lot before you went away, and it disturbed the flow of our time together. Even then, we'll just have to make up for lost time."

At the innocent expression yet the complete opposite time she had, Makoto felt his body heating up because of her, and her beauty and everything she implied that they'd be doing together. No matter what, Yumi always made Makoto happy.

"Then, Senpai. Allow me to take care of you..."

Makoto slowly pushed Yumi down onto the bed, and got on top of her so they could have their passions together.


Makoto, at midday had been called by Serafall. He went towards her office in the Underworld, since she was too busy to come back to the mansion. He walked towards the young woman's office, going through the large building that held many men and women. He guessed they were apart of either Serafall's Maou business, or her business as a magical girl television star.

Either way it didn't matter.

But he couldn't help keep noticing that there were several posters around that had Serafall and even Makoto in magical outfits, girls and boys for the different genders. He didn't even remember a time he posed for them.

He made it to Serafall's office room, and lightly rapped on the door.

[My Ma-tan!? Is that you!?]

Makoto could hear the excitement that was literally rolling off the young woman, and wondered what was going on. Even if he was almost afraid to open the door, and go inside to see what actually was happening.

Summoning his courage, he responded with a "Yes, it's me." and he heard a large relieving breath.

[Then come inside my cute Ma-tan~ I wanna see Ma-tan here please~]

Makoto didn't know what she was going to be doing, but he opened the door.

As soon as he did, a young woman was thrown towards him while squealing "Iyaaaaa!" and Makoto caught the girl in his arms. But while catching her, his hand landed on her large breast. Her eyes went towards Makoto's own and she began showing a trembling lower lip.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to..." His eyes took in the girls features, seeing that it was Rossweisse. "Rossweisse-san! Y-You're here!"

Rossweisse pulled away while showing a shy expression on her face.

"Y-Yes well, Odin-sama!" Rossweisse turned angrily towards him, the tears dangling in her eyes. "W-Why did you push me towards Makoto-kun exactly!? I almost fell on top of him!"

Odin stroked his large beard happily.

"Fufufu, what's going on Rossweisse? You suddenly seem so sad, could there be something going on?"

"Y-You can't do that!"

She complained, but Odin looked past Rossweisse towards Makoto.

"By the way, Queen of Serafall, how many girlfriends do you have?"

Suddenly, Rossweisse's eyes began to water while turning away and bit her lower lip.

Makoto didn't quite understand what was going on with her.

"Erm, why does that matter about anything?"

"Because I just want to know~ You know, Rossweisse here hasn't had a boyfriend in all of her life. You could say that the age of her, is the same as the years she's not had a boyfriend."

That...triggered Rossweisse.

"Waaaaaaaaaaah! Y-You're always saying that! B-B-B-B-B-B-Boyfriends have nothing to do with this at aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall! I want a boyfriend that has a bright future ahead of him as well! A-And even someone like me can have one too!"

"I don't know, you are getting on in years..."

"Waaaaaah..."

Makoto didn't know what the hell he just witnessed, but he saw Rossweisse break down in tears. He placed a hand on her back, and stroked it gently.

"Hey, please don't cry, there's nothing to worry about at all."

"But I don't have a boyfriend and Makoto-kun has lots of girlfriends and I can't even obtain a single one! I'm going to remain a virgin my entire life, and live alone as a spinster!"

"...What's a spinster?"

Serafall hadn't come across such a word before, so Makoto clarified.

"A spinster is someone that is an unmarried woman, usually referring to an older woman who's past the age of marriage. Though I don't get how someone could be past the age of marriage, you can marry whenever-"

"That's me!" Rossweisse cut him off with a whine. "I'm the spinster! I'm so old now that no man is going to ever look upon me and be aroused! I'm exactly like Odin-sama says! Even Makoto-kun has a lot of girlfriends and I've never had a boyfriend while everyone else around me has had a massive amount of boyfriends and girlfriends!"

"And Makoto-kun there isn't a virgin either~"

"Odin-sama!"

Makoto berated, feeling as if he was just rubbing it in Rossweisse's face now.

And it seemed to work as she cried even harder.

"Makoto-kun's not even a virgin either?! A-A younger man than me is already sexually active!? I want a boyfriend who I can do ecchi situations with! But no, I'm like this, with no boyfriend at all, and I'm going to be alone forever and ever! I'm going to be a spinster who owns a lot of cats named Billy, Jemima and Clarice!"

Makoto thought "That's oddly specific for cat names she said during a rant." while seeing her body shaking around and shed even larger tears than before.

She then continued her ranting.

"And I'll always watch everyone around me being happy! I'll see all of my fellow Valkyrie's marry strong heroes, and I'll be left all on my own for the rest of my life! I'll die alone like everyone always says I will!"

"Now, I'm sure you're not going to die alone Rossweisse-san..." She turned towards him with large tears escaping her eyes. "Ooh Rossweisse-san, don't listen to him, Odin-sama is being mean for an unnecessary reason."

She just sobbed, and fell against him. He didn't know how to respond, so he petted the back of her head whispering sweet words into her ear to comfort her.

"Aaah, Ma-tan the defender of cute girls~ And cruel Ojii-sama, picking on Rossweisse-chan, that's not cool at all~" Serafall sang out, jumping up, and showed her serene smile. "By the way Ma-tan, because you're here, I've got a favour to ask, it is about these two...one's cute and ones an Ojii-sama~"

"I thought so…"

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I'm the Ojii-sama now that never got the chance to be a wife!"

Rossweisse sobbed into Makoto's arms, so he petted the back of her head once more.

"Rossweisse-san, she was calling you the cute one, and you'd have to be a man to be an Ojii-sama."

Rossweisse looked up towards Makoto, her eyes truly were wet with hard tears she was shedding. It affected her more than he actually thought would be possible.

"O-Oh, really…? Makoto-kun, a-am I cute, and not a spinster…?"

She looked so desperate, Makoto couldn't help but hold protective feelings over her.

"N-No, you're not a spinster, a-and yes, y-you're very cute. D-Don't listen to Odin-sama, he's a pervert who likes messing with people. You can take your own time to discover a man you wanna be with, don't rush into anything you don't want, okay?"

"Okay..." Rossweisse composed herself the best that she could, and coughed into her hand, drying her eyes. "N-Now, Odin-sama, if you've finished doing...w-what you've been doing, we have important official business soon."

"Aah yes, that's right Rossweisse, more important than your lack of a boyfriend." Rossweisse looked away while biting her lower lip and looked afraid. "It seems, you young man, are most interesting. Serafall was just telling me how you're entering the Rating Game despite not even being a Middle Class Devil."

Makoto looked on as Rossweisse showed her smile as well.

"Yes, it was surprising. But as soon as we heard, Odin-sama came straight away."

"He...did? Why is that?"

Odin walked closer, and examined Makoto's eye, the one that he got from Azazel.

"Remarkable, it is similar to my eye. Did Azazel boy give you that?"

"Eeeh, yes, that's right. But..."

"It's remarkable, huh. Well, I am also interested to see the Queen of Serafall move forward. I am aware that you're aware of what you are, yes?"

Rossweisse drew a blank, but Makoto furrowed his eyes.

"Yes, that's right, but why are you..."

"Once upon a time, we had met you know? Fufufu, it was fun back in the old days."

"Old days? Odin-sama, Makoto-kun is 15 years old. When did you meet him? When he was a baby?"

"No, it was the time that you had a boyfriend...wait, that didn't happen."

Rossweisse released a few sobs while putting her hand over her mouth, so Makoto patted her back once more gently and comforted her, she really did appreciate how she was being defended by the young boy.

"Don't be mean to Rossweisse-san."

Odin rolled his eye.

"Either way, I am interested to see you fighting in the games. I am most interested to see how you'll react with others. Including that of the Heavenly Dragons, I have heard you've swayed the Heavenly Dragons before, and are even dating one of them and the Otouto of the other. You have a most interesting future young man, I can't wait to see it...say, how about you and Rossweisse get together?"

""O-Odin-sama!?""

Makoto and Rossweisse both suddenly become flustered, and Odin couldn't resist even more.

"But, it would be perfect. Rossweisse usually talks about you Makoto-kun, and she's an attractive woman, isn't she Makoto-kun?" Makoto blushed lightly, but didn't answer. Odin's finger went towards Rossweisse's breasts, but before he could get closer, Makoto slaps his finger away. "My, what a man, even slapping a Gods finger to protect Rossweisse? Fufu, well that's okay too. You're just protecting your woman."

""She's/I'm not my/his woman!""

Makoto and Rossweisse yelled at the same time, but Odin weighed his hands like scales.

"Seems perfect to me though~ Maybe you should just get married~"

Rossweisse's bottom lip crumbled and Makoto blushed brightly.

Serafall, having enough of the antics, came between them.

"Ma-tan has to propose to me after all before a newcomer~" Makoto's cheeks intensified with redness. "That's right, my Ma-tan. Why you're here. You see, these people need to make it to their hotel. But I'm busy right now, could you send them to their hotel for me please? I'll make it up to you later~"

"Sure, I can do that for you Sera-tan. I'll do my best."

Serafall showed a brighter smile than before.

"Cool, thanks my Queen! Don't worry about Odin-chan, he's just a prude or something~ He's probably jealous that you're young and he's like old or something~" Odin looked annoyed by her words, but Serafall stuck out her tongue happily. "You're all acting weird, Ma-tan. Do you think Odin-chan is acting weird?"

"I think he's acting as a bully towards Rossweisse-san."

Makoto spoke his mind, Rossweisse nodding again and again in desperate agreement.

"Hohoho but I'm just setting up Rossweisse and Makoto-kun here~ Why can't I do something like that as well~?"

"Because you're embarrassing Rossweisse-san like always! She's trying to do her best, and you often tease her for no reason! Start being nice to her!"

"Hohohohohoho~ You truly are a brave man to yell at a God about such things. I could obliterate you with a single finger, you know~?"

"You try and I'll take your soul!"

Serafall threatened, Odin chuckled as a response.

"No worries, I wasn't going to do anything. I was just admiring how he was defending his woman."

Makoto and Rossweisse were going to yell...but, they stopped, and just looked away from the other.

"Well, that's neither here nor there. So, why don't you go and do something for me, Ma-tan and take care of these people for me~ I'll consider it a very good thing for me and I'll owe you, which you can receive in anyway that you like~"

Makoto's thoughts turned slightly dirty as he imagined Serafall 'repaying' him but then shook his head, muttering "I'm not Onii-chan." and turned towards the others, as Serafall handed him the papers he'd need, the place of the hotel and other things, he was just glad that he had memorized various things about the Underworld for him to actually do this.

"Yes, I'm ready. Would you like to follow me?"

"Are you gonna take us to a love hotel for you and Rossweisse~?"

Rossweisse's bottom lip trembled while Makoto stared at him, hard.

"I'm taking you to a regular hotel, if you'd prefer one of those, I can make the arrangements."

"Hoho, a sense of humour~ Then lead the way to our hotel young one~"

Makoto nodded, looked at Serafall who winked towards him, then he turned his head, bowed at the pair of Northerners, and then walked out of the room with Rossweisse, and Odin following after the pair of them.


When arriving there, Makoto checked them in at the desk, and got their keys for the room. Or rather, it was their cards.

"You'll be staying on the top floor in the penthouse suit, Odin-sama."

Makoto said, handing over the card.

"Yes, thank you young one. You're much kinder than I remember you were. Hahaha, the old you would have just told me to get lost~" Makoto cocked his head, but the old man showed a toothy smile. "It doesn't matter lad. But thank you for leading us here. Rossweisse."

He called, turning towards her.

Responding, Rossweisse stiffened her body.

"Y-Yes Odin-sama?"

"Since it is midday, I'm going to go and drink."

"B-But, it is only midday! You can't drink at this time of the day, can you!?"

Odin stroked his chin while smirking.

"I can. Didn't you see the bar over there?" True to what he said, there was a bar at the far corner of the hotel lobby. "I'll be there for a while. I can even see Azazel boy being there, and even Sirzechs boy as well. I'm glad, I'll go and hang out with those young ones, and teach them how to drink and about oppai as well!"

While laughing like a perverted old man, Odin began walking towards the bar, Makoto stared on with confusion.

"W-Wait..." Rossweisse called but Odin walked off. "Eh...Odin-sama...eeeeh..."

Rossweisse seemed lost on what she should be doing at a time like this.

Makoto himself looked on as well with a worrying face.

"Rossweisse-san, I'm sorry about Odin-sama, and how he treats you, he shouldn't be doing that to you."

Rossweisse hangs her head downwards, and sits down on a nearby couch. Makoto walks over, and sits down near her, seeing how she looked exhausted, and felt even more sorry for her than ever before.

"No, please don't be worried, Odin-sama is always like this. I shouldn't expect anything different."

Makoto chuckled awkwardly.

He really didn't like the fact that Odin kept taking advantage of her and her personality as she was a kind woman. Yet Odin seemed to use her for nothing at all, and treats her terribly, and he didn't understand why he did.

"O-Oh, Rossweisse-san, since the last time we met, I've been working on a new magical spell." He clicks his fingers, and shows some papers towards Rossweisse. "Here, look at these. Since you're more expert on magic than me, I thought that this might be a good theory on how everything works...but I'm not sure, is it any good? Or is it bad?"

Rossweisse looked at the circles and the theories before her, and examined it clearly.

Her eyes went over the research and knowledge, and then after a minute or so of thinking about it, she turned to Makoto with a wide eyed expression.

"Y...You made this all by yourself?"

"Eheh, I've been working on it for a while now, ever since you began teaching me about magic and such. I thought that it would be nice if I tried my own. So, is it good? Bad? Terrible? I wouldn't be surprised if it was-"

"Amazing!" Rossweisse announced happily. "The spell itself seems so simple, but the complexity of it, and...for a beginner, you do have a knack for magic it seems Makoto-kun. I'm very impressed with all of this. Makoto-kun, this is quite amazing for a beginner, I'm so proud~"

Makoto showed a larger than life smile on his face.

"Really, Rossweisse-san? You like it?"

Rossweisse looked towards his face, and then blinked when she realized that her eyes dangled on him for longer than she wanted. She averted her eyes, and felt her cheeks slightly turning pink.

Was it because he showed he was quite smart?

Was it because he defended her from Odin before?

Was it because of something else?

She didn't know the answers, and right now, it didn't seem to matter at all.

Her eyes went back towards Makoto who continued to smile towards her.

"Ma-Makoto-kun, in the Underworld, d-do you know of any 100 yen shops?"

"100 yen…?"

"Yes, I have always wanted to visit one from the Underworld."

"Eeh, yeah, I think there is..." He looked towards a piece of paper and looked over the different types of shops. "Aaah yes, it isn't that far. Do you want to go to it?"

"Normally, I would refuse because of Odin-sama, but he's..."

"And then the maid sat on my lap, and she cried out happily!"

"...he's currently in the middle of being a pervert."

She finished off, seeing him laughing with Azazel and Sirzechs in some drunken stupor. She sighed at the sight, and looked down at the ground. Makoto could feel her uneasiness as well, so he adopted a kind face.

"Hehe, it must be hard having a boss like him huh...I know Sera-tan can be challenging sometimes, but she doesn't drink or anything like that..."

"He's very challenging. But I wont give up...even if he keeps mentioning my boyfriend situation...either way, what I want to s-say is, w-would you like to accompany me…?" Her eyes looked nervous, and when he went to reply, she waved a hand in front of her face nervously. "I-I wasn't asking you out on a date or anything! T-That would be most improper! I-I was just wondering if you...w-would like to go with me…? You seem to have a sensible head on your shoulders so I thought that you would like to go as well…?"

Makoto couldn't deny right now that she held a cute expression that appeared on her face, she looked delectably adorable at this point, he could have even died of happiness at seeing her shy expression.

Not wanting to let her down, Makoto put on a manly face.

"I'd love to go with you Rossweisse-san, lets go and have fun, okay?"

"...Y-Yes, let us go and have fun together."

Rossweisse seemed quite nervous for reasons Makoto couldn't understand.

But he decided to do what he could to make everything better for her, even if it was for a while so she could forget her troubles.

"My, look at this, it is super cheap! M-My, I'm having a hard time expressing it! Everything here is for 100 yen! I can't believe it! No, this is simply amazing, I am excited right now! Makoto-kun, we could buy one of everything and have much money saved over! But, then we could buy two of a few things that we would like...yes, this would be for the best."

Rossweisse cheered, as Makoto awkwardly followed her around. She looked as if she was a kid in a candy store. Makoto had to admit this was one of the first times he had ever seen someone excited over something as simple as a 100 yen shop but she also looked cute, so he decided to let her do as she liked.

Realizing the kind of situation he was in, Makoto followed Rossweisse who seemed to be in Heaven right now.

"Makoto-kun, look at this, I could spend over 1000 yen in a shop like this...it is so magnificent, that I could die happy. I wish that there was a shop around like this in Valhalla."

"Oh? There isn't?"

Rossweisse shook her head.

"It isn't bad, but good are hard to come by sometimes due to the expense. Why can't things be cheap like this…? This is the best kind of experience..." Her eyes drifted to Makoto who listened intently. "I'm sorry, this must be very boring, accompanying me when you probably have to prepare for your duties as a Maou-sama's Queen, and even joining the Rating Games?"

Makoto shook his head.

"No, this is rather good, I want the distraction. If I stress too much, I might stress so much that I'd cost the match. Besides, I find it fun to see you happy about 100 yen items. I can't recall a time when I've seen others be this excited."

Rossweisse moved closer to Makoto, and put her hands together.

"You have to understand the value of money Makoto-kun! These types of lands, people can afford a lot, but in other places, it is hard! Even then, I'm glad that I found someone to talk to that doesn't want to remind me that I haven't had a boyfriend in my life..."

"Why is it a big deal if you don't have one?"

Makoto's question was met with a sad smiling Rossweisse.

"When I was younger, everyone around me always went on dates, while I spent my time studying. Everyone thought it would be funny to mention that. But even then, thanks to my hard work, I got my job of being Odin-sama's personal Valkyrie."

"...Maybe this is rude, but he doesn't give you much respect, does he?"

Rossweisse adopts a sadder looking face, making Makoto feel sad about it.

"That's the current world I live in. It is the best kind of job that I could have. Even if others call me Odin-sama's servant girl. I still am doing the best that I can and doing everything to send money back to my mainland."

"That's why you have the job and take Odin-sama's crap?"

"Basically. B-But even if it is a small salary, I'm going to do my best for Odin-sama and the rest of my country...even if the others look down on me...my position is very good, wouldn't you agree Makoto-kun?"

"It's good yeah, if only the God-sama treated you kinder."

Rossweisse held a hand to her mouth and allowed a titter to escape.

"Well, thank you Makoto-kun. I have to confess, this is the first time that I've spent time alone with a boy before. I haven't ever done anything like this. It is an oddity for someone like myself. I didn't think I would be able to do it, but here I am. I'm strangely proud of myself."

Rossweisse was smiling, seemingly having accomplished something that Makoto wasn't privy too. Even then, he continued to support her while showing a wide smile on his face.

"Well, I'm glad you're proud. You've got many things to be proud of Rossweisse-san."

Rossweisse, rather than saying "Thank you." just looked towards him, and Makoto was shocked to see that she was blushing. She held some redness on her cheeks. He didn't quite understand why, but she was blushing towards him.

"I-I suppose so." She averted her eyes, and then drew his attention somewhere else. "Oh, look at this. Isn't it wonderful Makoto-kun? This beautifully decorated plate is only 100 yen. There's nothing above 100 yen! Isn't that fantastic!?"

Makoto chuckled at the sight of Rossweisse's movements, and decided to just follow her once more. Rossweisse on the other hand, couldn't get the thoughts of what he said out of her mind, and she kept it to herself for the moment, wondering what was going on inside of herself right now.


By the end of the day, Makoto ended up carrying a lot of her bags. She ended up getting two of everything in the shop. He didn't exactly understand why she'd need all of the things, once over, but he wasn't going to deny her either.

"I'm sorry, I've lumbered you with most of the bags."

Rossweisse apologized but Makoto shook his head.

"It's okay, I'm a Queen after all. My Rook strength helps out quite a bit."

"I see, it must be nice being a Devil." Rossweisse looked on fondly. "...By the way, maybe I shouldn't ask...no, I shouldn't ask. Never mind."

"No, what were you going to say, Rossweisse-san?"

Rossweisse looked reluctant to say anything.

Makoto on the other hand had a guess.

"...Ever since Odin-sama was speaking about me in the past, you've been curious, right?"

"The thoughts crossed my mind."

She agreed, so Makoto chuckled awkwardly.

"Honestly, I don't know much of what he was talking about. Maybe we did meet in the past, and I don't understand a few details about it. Even then, Odin-sama's probably referring to that fact that before I became a Devil, I wasn't a human...or maybe I was, I don't really understand much of the process of it. Though I'd have to be at least a little human...even then, it seems like I'm not a normal person~ Even now, I'm having trouble coming to terms with things I don't remember..."

He then explained to Rossweisse what he currently knew about himself.

He didn't have a reason to hide it right now. He knew that Rossweisse would be alright with it.

While listening, Rossweisse was immensely surprised, but then she bowed her head.

"...You know, I've heard a legend among my people, from a time ago. I'm not exactly sure how long ago it was, but I remember that there was once a kind Evil Dragon that spent time with Odin-sama, and did a lot for my country. I wonder if there's a connection between you and this myth…?"

"Heh, if it was, it would be amazing, right Rossweisse-san?"

Rossweisse showed a slight smile.

"Yes, it would be. And today has been the most enjoyable time I've had in a long time. Thinking back on my life, I wish that I had taken more time to spend time with people my own age. Then again, if I did that, I wouldn't be able to have met the people around me and I might have never met you...o-or anyone really."

"Hehe, I'm glad to have met Rossweisse-san as well~"

Rossweisse briefly blushed while they entered an elevator together.

"Y-Y-Yes well, d-don't y-ya forget...ooh..."

"D-Don't ya…?"

Makoto noticed something seemed off with her dialect all of a sudden.

"N-No, don't f-forget about t-that don't ya...ee-eheeh don't ya f-forget now..."

"Hehe, is that the dialect of your home?" Rossweisse nodded shyly, and embarrassed. "It's kind of cute, Rossweisse-san~"

"N-No, it isn't cute, it's terrible. I-I sound bad, p-please don't wonder a-about that..."

The elevator arrived at Rossweisse's floor, and they walked out together. While walking towards her room, they stayed silent, but a comfortable silence. It was better than an awkward one, Makoto was dead sure on that.

Once arriving at her room, Rossweisse opened the room, and invited Makoto to come inside. He did so, and walked inside. He got the aroma of Rossweisse immediately hitting her nose. Maybe she sprayed it when he wasn't looking or something, because he found smell her and she smelled pretty good.

Looking around the room, it wasn't all that big. It held her bed in the middle of the room against the wall, and also had some decorative pictures around. The bathroom was at the right of when walking through the door to the room. It seemed enough for Rossweisse, as she looked pleased with the room.

Rossweisse asked him to place the bags in the nearby closet so he did. He turned towards her, seeing her taking off her armour. His eyes bulged slightly at the sight of her doing that, but realized she had an undershirt on, so he breathed a little easier.

"Thank you for today, Makoto-kun. I felt like a normal girl...probably the only time in my life where I've said that for certain."

"No, thank you Rossweisse-san, it is good to not think about stressing stuff every once in a while. And we can do it anytime you'd like~ When you want to forget Odin-sama and his ridiculous commands and other things like that."

He replied earnestly, making Rossweisse smile.

"Definitely, during the Rating Games, I'll be cheering for you the best, Makoto-kun. And during any other time as well, since Makoto-kun was so kind to me."

Makoto's smile grew at her kindness.

"Thank you, Rossweisse-san, it means a lot. And while it might be a pipe dream, I'll try my best to make Odin-sama be kinder towards you."

Rossweisse continued to smile as did Makoto.

Somehow, they felt a little closer than they did before. Yet, Rossweisse couldn't deny that she felt her cheeks slightly reddening.


"Now, Makoto-sama, you're going to be making your debut soon." Ravel said seriously, fixing his collar. "For this, we're going to have to do our best to show your best foot forward. We'll be dealing with the enemies that come forth...and also, you'll have to show yourself to be just as capable as any High Class Devil that's there."

Because today was the day, Makoto was getting dressed by Ravel. She knew which colours, and what not to wear for the day of the party as it was. Though Makoto didn't know what he should do while getting there, he knew Ravel would support him and he couldn't even deny that he was all the more happy,

Makoto looked at his outfit, chuckling awkwardly.

"I don't know, this isn't me Ravel-san. I know that I'm supposed to be looking all spirited, and...this tux just doesn't look good on me."

"Don't be silly, you look good Makoto-sama. And Serafall-sama was going to have you dress in an outfit that would have showed off….ahem, various assets of yours, and I don't think that it would have been good."

Makoto felt embarrassed, now, knowing what she would be doing. It is the thing that Serafall usually does.

"Ehehe, that's Sera-tan for you...that's how she always is. Even then, I don't know, this just seems...ehehe, I don't know if I can walk around in this outfit for long periods of times Ravel-san. I might be more uncomfortable than before."

"I know, but it has to be done Makoto-sama. Don't worry, I'll support you right away and everything we're going through, I'll definitely support you even more."

Makoto looked upon Ravel, seeing her determination.

"I have to thank you Ravel-san. This wouldn't be possible without you."

Suddenly, Ravel's face became slightly flustered.

"N-No, it isn't a problem at all! I'm just being me...a-and, that's...d-don't worry about it Makoto-sama! I only want to see your progression and o-other things of that nature! S-So, please do your best in everything you do!"

Makoto continued to smile at the young girls flustered face.

"Yes, of course. With you supporting me Ravel-san, I know that I can do anything. You're the best kind of manager that I could have hoped for."

Suddenly, the young girls face became bashful once more.

"...Makoto-sama, I might not be the most powerful member of your peerage, but I'm definitely going to show my strongest sides, okay?"

Makoto's hand went to the top of Ravel's hand, and petted it softly.

"Yes, thank you Ravel-san. I'm sure we'll be able to pull off many things together."

"Exactly! I know that we can do it...honestly, it is nerve wrecking though. I'm actually going to be doing things in the games. I, didn't do anything for Riser-nii-sama. He always just had me there as fashion."

"Well, I'm going to depend on you Ravel-san. I hope that I can."

Ravel's face turned to surprise.

Riser never depended on her.

But now, Makoto was. And she was glad. She wanted to be useful, no matter what else happened. That's all she wanted.

"Y-Yes, Makoto-sama, I'll do my best!"

"Thank you, Ravel-san. I'm glad that I can depend on you. You've got more knowledge on how the games are conducted than myself. I'm going to have to rely on your knowledge on the games as well. Because truthfully, I'm nervous on the game ahead. Sona-senpai is a very intelligent woman, and I know that she's probably smarter than myself-"

"Even if she is, we're all together Makoto-sama. Remember when we faced Zephyrdor-sama? We all pulled together for that, and we can do the same thing here, in the games. We wont know the full rules until we enter the games itself. And even if it is, we'll adapt to the games ahead, and continue doing what we need to do. Do not worry Makoto-sama, we're all going to support you. Speaking of support." She places her hands on his collar, and fixed it. "There, you look presentable now."

"Only presentable huh?"

Ravel turned her head to the side shyly.

"...You look good Makoto-sama, please don't try and embarrass me."

"I'm embarrassing you?"

"Sometimes you do…b-but, you're also sweet, so it doesn't matter all that much Makoto-sama. Anyway, we are soon going to be leaving with Sona-sama since we're at the same home right now...even if they are the enemies..."

"Tonight, we're fellow guests, aren't we Ravel-san?"

Ravel nodded her head.

"Tonight we aren't enemies. Speaking of enemies though, I have been hearing some noise that Sona-sama has apparently been in talks with Azazel-sama for some reason, and I don't know what they are about..."

"Sona-senpai and Azazel-sensei have been talking?"

"Apparently so. But what this endeavours, I cannot ascertain right now. But if it is Azazel-sama, then I can only presume that Sona-sama is taking measures far too much. Perhaps she's worried about us and is asking for help...no, maybe it is a matter unrelated. And knowing Azazel-sama, he wont tell us what it is that they have been talking about. He's a man of many mysteries."

"Indeed. Whatever it is, we'll just have to repel them all, you know?"

Ravel showed a good spirited smile.

"Yes, you're right Makoto-sama. For now, since you're ready, we should be going to meet the others."

"By the way, Ravel-san."

Makoto called as Ravel was going to turn.

"Yes, Makoto-sama?"

"It's just, you look really beautiful tonight."

Ravel's cheeks burned as red as Millicas' hair.

"M-Makoto-sama, y-you're doing it again, embarrassing me."

"Hehehe, I'm sorry Ravel-san, I didn't mean to embarrass you or anything~"

Makoto's apology was met with a blushing Ravel. The girl poked her fingers together shyly, and walked out of the room.

Makoto nodded to himself, and walked outside together with the dress wearing Ravel.


As soon as they got to the courtyard, Makoto was bombarded with a few women in dressed. Asia wore a lovely pink dress, and Irina was wearing a beautiful white gown, he thought for a second it was a wedding dress, but snapped his eyes back when realizing it wasn't. Millicas wore a red dress that showed off some of her curves, and Kalawarner shamelessly wore a dress that exposed a good amount of her cleavage, Elmen on the other hand went the more modest route, and wore a simple yet effective dress. Koneko also wore a cute dress that fitted her form very well.

All the girls even wore makeup as well. They all looked very beautiful in his eyes, he couldn't be more happy. And he even saw Tiamat waiting for them patiently. He couldn't deny that she also held a mysterious aura around her, he never could quite figure her out.

"My, everyone's so beautiful~"

"Ma-chan!" Irina cheered happily, and ran over, hugging Makoto around his head, and brought said head to her bust. "There, Ma-chan. You can use my boobs as a pillow as well. But my, Ma-chan's looking very handsome~ Speaking of handsome..." Irina leaned down and overlapped Makoto's and her own lips at the same time. When she pulled apart, she blushed slightly. "Ma-chan, I'm ready when you are."

Knowing what she was referring to, he held a small blush on his cheeks, but Irina held onto his hand tightly. Asia came over to Makoto as well, and dusted off her outfit.

"Makoto-san, me too. I'm ready for Makoto-san too."

Asia pressed her lips to Makoto's own and held onto his other hand. She then held onto his other hand readying herself for whatever was going to happen.

While they held hands, Makoto's eyes caught the stiffness of Koneko.

She seemed to be off.

He didn't understand what was going on with her.

Something clearly was happening, and he knew that he'd have to take care of her somehow. But he didn't know what he was going to do, since she didn't tell him.

"Then we're waiting for..."

Before he could finish, Sona and her group came out. Sona and the rest of her peerage were dressed to be more smart than anything else. But they also had their charm. Even Sona's high class dress looked to be top notch, and while it revealed little cleavage, it still showed some of her womanly curves.

Makoto saw that Saji was checking her out, which he had given up ever trying to stop him from doing that and objectifying Sona without her approval.

"Sona-senpai, it seems like we're going to be travelling together."

Sona inclined her head, moving closer.

"Yes, I would have to thank Tiamat-sama here for taking us."

Tiamat raised her large Dragon head.

"I am only doing it for Makoto, no other reason."

Sona put on a surprised face at the tone she used.

"I see, either way, I am pleased right now. Thank you for taking us." Tiamat turned her head to the side, and merely allowed them access to her back. "Then, everyone, let us board Tiamat-sama."

With Sona's words, everyone got onto the large Dragon and soon took off.

The high-class high rise hotel that was being used as the meeting place for the party was located in a wide clearing within a huge area of forest that was on the edge of Gremory territory. Since they had to go there, Makoto and the others rode on Tiamat's body. Makoto himself rode on Tiamat's head and could see all of the views of the Underworld.

Since Makoto was riding with the Sitri gang, Makoto could see Sona behind him and their eyes locked with one another's. Since they would be having a Rating Game, they technically were enemies, but he didn't know if he could see her as such.


Upon arriving in the large car park where Tiamat was going to take them, everyone got off the Dragon's back, and landed on the ground. Her large Dragon eyes ran over everyone that was around, looking directly at each of them.

"Then, this is where I'll leave you. I've got some duties to fulfill here."

Tiamat's words made Makoto smile, as well as Sona.

"Thank you, Tiamat-sama."

"Y-Yes, thank you Tiamat-san."

Sona and Makoto gave their thanks to the large Dragon. She then spread her wings, and took into the air, and flew away. Makoto felt his makeshift peerage crowd around him and Sona's did the same thing.

Then, they were led by the hotel employees who had come to pick them up at the sports grounds…and they got into an expensive-looking limousine.

The dress-wearing Irina and Asia sat down next to Makoto and Koneko hopped onto Makoto's lap, as well as did Millicas who cuddled him tightly around his waist. Everybody from the Sitri family sat in the back of the limousine, besides Sona who sat rather close.

While brushing his face, Ravel who sat opposite Makoto, gave a smile.

"There are also facilities located around the hotel, and the army is also standing by here. It is much stricter here than in the lower urban areas, you know?"

Makoto smiled softly, but then Sona coughed into her hand.

"I'll say it now then, I'm declaring war on you, Hyoudou-kun."

Everyone's eyes shot towards her, they were gobsmacked.

"S-Sona-senpai?"

Makoto didn't know what to make of her sudden aggressive words.

But Sona looked on towards him, and didn't show any signs that she was going to be backing down.

"I said, I'll be declaring war on you and your group. Because for the sake of my dreams, I'll be fighting you as hard as I can, and I want you to do the same thing. If you can't, then say now, because I don't want you to hold back on me. Even if we're from the same school, and you are my Onee-sama's lover, and I her Imouto, I will not hold back against you."

Makoto saw how Sona truly was speaking from a place of caring and understanding, but also had her dreams on the line.

He even saw the resolution of the other peerage members that she had as well.

Even then, Makoto knew that she wouldn't accept a half hearted declaration, so he built up the courage that he held deep within him, and said it while showing his confidence on his face for the young glasses wearing woman.

"...Yes, I understand, I wont hold back either. I realize your dream is to build a school that doesn't discriminate, but I can't hold back my feelings either. I'll do my best against you, and I wont allow your pride to be tarnished either, as well as my own. This is war Sona-sama."

Makoto said it as strongly as he could.

Sona appreciated the strength of his resolve.

Upon hearing that, Sona nodded her head.

"I didn't expect any less Hyoudou-kun. Our match approaches soon, and when it comes upon us, it is going to be a match like no other."

Makoto nodded his head, as Irina raised her fist.

"For my Ma-chan, I'll thoroughly display my powers! Even if it is against Sona-senpai as well! I can show everyone my feelings and thoughts! And Ma-chan is my King, so sorry Sona-senpai, you're going to have to lose!"

Sona chuckled slightly.

"I didn't expect anything different, Shidou-san, I do hope you plan on continuing your support of Hyoudou-kun there."

"Yes, of course! Ma-chan is my love after all, I'll do everything to make Ma-chan thrive and shine as the King he is meant to be!"

Sona showed a rare smile on her face, as did the other Sitri members. Makoto showed his smile as did the others of Makoto's peerage, they weren't going to back down now. They were going to be strong and win their fights.


While they were talking, the limousine arrived at the hotel. When they came out, they were welcomed by many employees.

"My it is so big Makoto-san."

Asia commented, the blonde and black haired boy nodded.

"Yes, it is huge. I've heard there's supposed to be a few important people here...I just hope Sera-tan doesn't embarrass me."

Millicas could see why Makoto would think like that.

"Don't worry Makoto-san, even Serafall-sama knows when she has to be serious."

"Yes, but Sera-tan has a knack for embarrassing me as well."

Millicas couldn't disagree with that.

"Either way, we wont know until we get there. Please follow me."

Everyone did as Millicas said, and followed after the young woman.

They entered inside like that, and once Millicas confirmed us at the front desk, they went into the elevator.

"It seems the party is on the huge top floor." Makoto looked towards the others of his group, and smiled. "Don't worry everyone, just do your best. Even I am nervous right now. But, with everyone behind me, I'll do my best and I hope you girls will as well!"

"Yes Makoto-san, everyone here is going to do their best for you!"

Asia's words relieved Makoto's body. But Elmen had a thought she couldn't understand.

"But, wont we be looked at differently because, technically Makoto-kun isn't a High Class Devil? I know that some people are against it already so..."

"People can be against what they want." Ravel waved her hand in front of her face. "They don't have to accept it, they have to accept that the Higher Ups have accepted this outcome. They don't believe in Makoto-sama and the rest of us, that's why we have to hold ourselves with dignity and honour as well. And I am sure all of us can do that, right?"

Everyone agreed with what she was saying, Millicas turned her nose up.

"Though this party is mostly for the Devils families than us, we'll just be there as a formality. Technically, we represent Sitri and what not….or do we represent Leviathan because Serafall-sama is Makoto-san's Master…? Either way, we are here so lets make the best impressed that we possibly can make. Even if people talk to us, even if they ask difficult questions, we'll just have to do our best, you know?"

Makoto could understand and was secretly happy that Millicas was being as responsible as she was being.

"Thank you Millicas-san everyone takes your words to heart." He noticed out of the corner of his eye, that Koneko was being unusually quiet. "Koneko-chan? Is something wrong?"

Koneko looked towards Makoto, and shook her head, even though he could see that she wasn't speaking the truth.

"...I'm okay."

He knew that was a lie, but he didn't know what was bothering her.

And he didn't have time to ask since the elevator pulled up to the top floor. It opened and they all stepped out to meet a beautifully decorated hall.

On this incredibly large floor there was a crowd of Devils and various delicious-looking foods to eat. The ceiling had as expected, a huge chandelier. Asia seemed mesmerized by the large chandelier, and so did Irina as well.

[Ooh.]

Everyone noticed Makoto's entrance, and breaths of wonder were let out. Makoto himself stood there, looking as dignified that he could. Serafall at the front of the stage saw her Queen enter, and yelled "Ma-taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! He's here and cute as ever!" which embarrassed him greatly, but he didn't let that show on his face, and he merely walked forward with the others.

He also saw Odin and Rossweisse at the front. Rossweisse and he locked eyes briefly, and offered one another small waves before shyly looking away. Odin caught and elbowed "Your future boyfriend~" making Rossweisse narrow her eyes towards him.

People around the area, couldn't take their eyes off of Makoto, and some where nice. And some weren't at all.

"So that's the Queen of Serafall-sama..."

"He's quite adorable..."

"I heard he's in the tournament and he's a Low Class..."

"How could that be..."

"He must have cheated his way here because of Serafall-sama..."

"Yes, he did something like that..."

"He's such a cheater…"

Makoto heard the whispers of the others in the room and didn't let his face drop, but Millicas held a sour face.

"Don't worry Makoto-san, show them why you deserve to be here just as much as everyone else. And you're no cheater, they just are jealous that you're doing something they couldn't do, and that's use your brain."

Makoto was happy for the support of Millicas.

"Yeah, I'm going to show everyone here Millicas-san." Millicas reached her hand and held onto his own tightly. "H-Hey...Millicas-san..."

"Makoto-sans my fiancée, according to my parents, so lets show them why you are."

Makoto smiled, and walked forward together with Millicas and the others.

"Uuuu, Makoto-san..."

"Don't worry Asia-chan, I'm here."

"Y-Yes, but this looks amazing for a venue!" Makoto sweatdropped at Asia's excitement. "Just look at everything here! Looking at the large ceiling's, and the floors that look like gold! We could marry here, and be so happy together~ So, Makoto-san, how about it? Do you want to get married here?"

"I thought you wanted an outdoor wedding Asia-chan?"

Makoto joked back, Asia adopting a shy look which looked so cute Makoto thought it was criminal that she looked so adorable.

"...I'm being difficult, huh..."

"No, you're okay Asia-chan, we can have any venue you'd like."

"Then lets keep searching for the best one!"

Makoto smiled, as Ravel stepped forward.

"Okay Makoto-sama, there are many Devils that wish to meet us all. So lets do rounds, okay?"

"Yes, I'm ready Ravel-san."

"Then please follow me."

Makoto was glad that he had Ravel with him, otherwise he'd be lost in these kind of situations. Since these Devils had it drilled into their skulls since birth, he was worried on what he was supposed to do at this point in his life.

For that reason, Makoto ended up being led around by Ravel as they circulated the floor. The training he had done for this turned to be a great thing indeed. Because of that, he managed to meet and greet people, even if they were people that were sceptical about him being there in the first place.

As they made rounds, Makoto looked towards the crowds, and up to the place Serafall was. Her eyes never left him as he walked around, shining with pride. That's how he knew he would be able to get through this, even if he had to truly try his best, he'd do anything to make Serafall happy, and even this was what she wished, so he did his best.

However, as they walked, he continuously saw that Koneko was becoming increasingly more distant, so he kept his eyes on her as well to make sure that she didn't leave so quickly, or would get herself into trouble.

He didn't know why, but he could tell that there was truly something going on with her.

Then, as he walked, Rias, dressed in a lovely red piece, walked over together with Ise, and her peerage. She overlooked Koneko briefly, seeing how Koneko 'betrayed' her, then turned back to Makoto.

"Makoto, you're doing amazing, I've heard that there's something going on here. People have been saying sour things, but don't worry about what they saw. They don't understand what you are, and they can say what they want."

"Yes, thank you Rias-sama. I'm just going to do this for my King."

"That's a good way to say it, Makoto. Also, now that you're in the games, I can't wait for our Rating Game. Also, I hope you win against Sona. She might be my friend, but I also have to cheer for my future Otouto in law, don't I?"

Makoto's, and Ise's cheeks turned embarrassment at what she said. But Rias just winked happily.

"R-Rias-sama, that's..."

"Oh, don't worry. Ise and I will have fun together. And speaking of fun, I hope you all enjoy the party. And as I said, don't let the little shits that have been saying bad things towards you get in your way of being a good person and a good Devil."

Makoto smiled as did the others, and Rias went away with her peerage. Makoto smiled towards Akeno and Yumi and even Gasper as well as they passed. Ise looked towards Makoto with pride and he smiled right back kindly.

As they walked around, Ravel leaned closer.

"You're doing very well Makoto-sama."

"Ehehe, thank you Ravel-san, I'm trying my hardest."

Makoto replied earnestly.

"It shows as well, it seems that most seem impressed with you. I can hear the whispers. By the way, it seems that Onii-sama's Rook, has come to see your Onii-sama."

"Onii-chan..." His eyes drifted over to see that in fact, Isabela from Riser's peerage had attended and was speaking with Ise. "Ooh, do you think that she has a crush on him or something~? That would be nice, wouldn't it?"

Ravel shrugged her shoulders.

"Either way, it is good that they are getting along. Speaking of Onii-sama though, ever since Ise-sama did what he did, he wont leave. He's in a similar condition to Zephrydor-sama that Millicas-sama managed to beat down."

Millicas showed a cute expression on her face.

"Yes, that's right, I am also sorry about what happened during that time. But he did need to stop so I am not sorry for that."

Makoto looked towards Millicas, shaking his head.

"No, you don't have to be sorry Millicas-san, he was the douche that said and did rude things towards you. But since you're kind, it is kind of cute~"

"Makoto-san..."

Millicas muttered, but Makoto petted her head kindly, making her cheeks turn slightly red.

Makoto then continued walking around and speaking with various people who gave praise and their anger about his position now, but he ignored the angry ones, and accepted the kind ones from the nice people who supported him…


That was until Serafall went to the stage.

"Ma-taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!"

Makoto cringed.

"...No."

Makoto didn't want to do it.

He knew something was going to happen, and he didn't like it at all.

But Serafall clicked her finger, and a spotlight came from the skylight. Makoto watched on as Serafall brought out a mic, and he felt terrified. He knew what she was going to do, and he didn't want to go through with it.

"Ma-taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! It's time to show your sexy talents with your singing skills!"

"...Please don't make me..."

Makoto didn't want to.

He looked towards her with fear.

So, when seeing that he wasn't moving, Serafall rushed over, and looked happy to be alive.

"Come on Ma-tan! Lets do this together!"

"I-I don't want to though..."

"Don't be cute Ma-tan, this is for me and you now. We've got to show how we're the best couple in the entire universe. You know? I want to show everyone that I am the best King and you're the best Queen. So follow me my sexy peerage member~"

She took Makoto by the shoulders, and pushed him onto the stage.

He looked over the crowd, and felt like crying. He didn't like being the centre of attention, nor did he like it when Serafall put him into a compromising position such as these.

"Well, Ma-tan! Lets do this!"

"S-Sera-tan, this is..."

Serafall waved her hand without a care.

"Don't worry your cute little butt about it Ma-tan. It is fine, this is going to show the Underworld your singing abilities! And then the old farts can't complain that Ma-tan has a good voice too, right Ma-tan?"

"I actually don't think my singing talents or lack thereof have anything to do with my talents as a King."

Serafall either she didn't hear him or she ignored him as she put her arms outwards. From beneath her, a magical circle appeared, and her clothes glowed. Her shirt disappeared, as she twirled around, and the same for her skirt. From her hands, she gained her gloves that she wore sometimes, and then the magical girls outfit appeared, and her wand appeared in her hand as well as her hat.

"I'm Magical Girl Levia-tan! Hehehe~"

She giggled out happily, putting her fingers in a peace sign by her left eye, and winked with said eye, the men falling over from cuteness.

She then grinned happily at the sights before her, seeing that others were looking towards her with lust in their hearts for her.

"Ma-tan, it's time for you to transform for me! Time to become a magical boy!"

"Uuu, do I have too…?"

Serafall nods her head strongly.

"That's right Ma-tan, you have to become Magical Boy Ma-tan!"

Makoto felt like crying right now.

He couldn't take such things.

But Serafall continued to grin and leaned her body closer, and cupped the boys face.

"Ma-tan, do this for me, and I'll make a sacrifice, I'll have a threesome with you and...ugh, Gabriel."

"S-Seriously!? Y-You can't just say that!"

She continued to grin wildly.

"That's right my Ma-tan, I'll do it, so transform for me~"

Makoto cried and did as she asked, knowing she wouldn't let it go. Like Serafall, he twirled around, and his clothes disappeared. While spinning, Makoto's own hand which had a Dragon's head there (resembling what Serafall said his father's head looked like) and a blue version of Serafall's outfit appeared, albeit he wore shorts rather than a skirt, and a hat with blue ribbon contrasting Serafall's pink one appeared.

He turned to the ground, and mimicked the same pose Serafall did with her fingers, and winked, trying to not desperately cry.

"I-I'm M-M-Magical boy Ma-tan! At your s-service Sera….eeh, Levia-tan!"

The women looked on and massive blushes erupted. Akeno's eyes turned lustful while she muttered "Fufu, he can be my Magical Boy anytime he wants in bed~" in a lustful tone, and the others looked on with blushes all their own, thinking how cute Makoto looked.

"Good, with my magical partner here! Lets lift the spirits of everyone Ma-tan! We're going with our new theme!"

He sniffed "This is hell." but no one heard him, holding up the mic to his mouth.

Irina on the other hand threw her hands up.

"No! I can't let Ma-chan suffer alone!"

"Neither can I, Makoto-san, I'm coming!"

Serafall saw Irina rush to the stage with Asia. Like the others, the girls went through the transformation as well, and wore yellow for Asia, and light brown for Irina, magical girls outfit like Serafall's, and grabbed mics.

"Yes, well done you two! Lets do this all together! Ma-tan, you begin!"

Makoto was thankful for them, and looked towards Ravel, Kalawarner, Millicas, Elmen, and Koneko, but they all shook their heads, he muttered "Traitors." and raised his hand to his face, as the music came on.

"F-Fighting evil b-by the moonlight..."

"Winning love by the daylight~"

Irina sang while hugging Makoto around the neck, Asia smiling away happily as she joined in.

"N-Never running from a real fight~ She is the one named Levia-tan~"

Asia seemed pleased while thrusting her hand towards Serafall as if introducing her, while Makoto was trying not to die at that moment from embarrassment.

Serafall jumped upwards, and then started swaying on the stage, followed by Asia and Irina and Makoto who did it unwillingly.

"I'll never turn my back on my friends~ I'll always be there to defend~ I am the one on whom you can depend~ I am the one named Magicaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal..."

"Magical Girl Irina-tan~!"

Irina posed happily with her new wand shaking.

"Magical Girl Asia-tan~!"

Asia also did a cute pose while spinning the wand in front of her.

"M-Magical Boy Ma-tan..."

Makoto mimicked the other twos posing, hearing the cheers from the crowd, he knew this was a fresh hell like he couldn't believe.

"With secrets powers and friends new to me~ I am the one named Magical Girl Levia-tan~"

Serafall finished off, and then the theme kicked in, so the girls, Makoto and Serafall all began dancing to a dance routine that Serafall made them memorize, which included shaking their upper bodies by leaning forward, and then thrusting their hips from side to side, making the girls skirts wave around which caused the men to squeal, and the girls squealed at Makoto's hip movements.

"She's so adorable! Levia-tan's always in my heart!"

"I love Magical Girl Irina-tan! She's amazing!"

"Magical Girl Asia-tan for life! I live for Asia-tan!"

"Magical Boy Ma-taaaan! I wanna marry him!"

The crowds shouted that, and other things like that towards them, Makoto felt like crying.

Koneko watched on, genuinely smiling at the sight. She looked so glad, so happy that they could enjoy these times.

"Mako-kun...I'm enjoying this, thank you...for enduring embarrassment for this…"

Koneko thought to herself, genuinely enjoying the performance.

But then she felt a snake slowly sliding up her body. She didn't make a movement, knowing what this was. It slid all the way up her body, and reached her ear. She didn't even make a movement of fear or worry at all.

"Itssssss time to go Neko-chaaaaaan~ Or somethingsssss gonna happenssssss~"

The snake hissed in her ear, and she nodded.

She took one last look towards Makoto, and saw him dancing while shedding a few tears.

"For Mako-kun, I'll protect him with my life."

She vowed deep within her heart, and moved backwards. She didn't want to be seen by anyone else, so she moved slowly. In ways, she was glad that others were distracted right now from the performance that Serafall and the rest were doing.

As she was walking out, Makoto's eyes scanned over the crowd, to see the fleeting form of Koneko.

Because she was so small, it was hard to notice her.

But he managed to, see her form leaving the area.

And the worries that he felt before for the young girl, were becoming real.

He knew for definite, something was off, and he couldn't have her go, knowing something was wrong.

Before she disappeared, a stray tear fell from her eye, he could tell that much with his new vision.

"Koneko-chan..."

Worry settled deep within him, and he chased after her, going through the crowds, Rias and Ise also noticed something wrong and went after him as well to see what was going on.


Walking through the forest, Koneko followed the snakes orders, and went where she was supposed to go. Through the forest, and through the trees, she followed the directions. Regret for what happened filled her heart, leaving without saying anything, but she wasn't going to regret when getting there, if she could protect Makoto, then she was going to do so.

However, as she neared a clearing, she heard aggressive voices.

She didn't understand, so she walked closer, and came through the clearing.

Appearing there, was Orochi, Gren and a new woman who seemed to be talking with one another.

An Onee-sama type with large breasts.

But the girl knew who she was.

Koneko was very familiar with who this was.

"...Onee-sama."

Indeed, it was true.

Kuroka, was stood there, with Orochi, and Gren, and all their eyes, cast down towards her.

"Well, it's been a long time, Shirone."

At that moment, Koneko thought her heart stopped.


End chapter!

So, we're getting into the nitty gritty parts now! But as from the last chapter, Koneko did what Orochi wanted to protect Makoto, and followed her, only to find Kuroka there. But what is she up too? Makoto and Yumi had a lovely moment together in bed, and Rossweisse came back! She's back for a little while, and she and Makoto spend a good chunk of the chapter together, leading onto the future as well. And even Ravel and Makoto had a small moment together as well. Sona and Makoto have declared war on one another, and aren't going to hold back on the other. And Serafall, being Serafall, did what she loves to do and embarrass Makoto. Props for those who recognize where that song came from.

Anyway, next time, it's a battle of Dragons and cats!
