Chapter 38: The joy of kids.

(It seems that my kin have weakened over the ages of my absence. Come back when you get stronger. I'll play with you again anytime)

A well-built anime character who looks just like me, albeit with Black hair like "Takeru Silver", said to another two male characters who were beaten as he walks away.

I and the Gremory group, Irina and Azazel, are watching a video in the big hall located at the basement of the New Sparda Mansion. The show on the giant screen is an anime show called [Oumaryuu Gakuin no Futekigousha]. It's apparently popular for all ages. And from the title… I'm the main character.

No… I'm not the voice actor. Apparently, the Gremory was able to get the famous vocalist and main composer for the punk-rock/metalcore band OLDCODEX, Suzuki Tatsuhisa, who has the closest voice to mine, to be the voice actor. Even though some parts of his voice are a bit off, he was able to fit in well with my character.

"…Apparently, it became very popular as soon as it was broadcast in the Underworld. The Heroic Dragon Overlord, Oumaryuutei."

Koneko, who is sitting on my lap, says that while swaying her tail.

The story synopsis goes like this:

"Tired of endless conflicts, destroying humans, angels, spirits, and even gods, the Dragon Overlord of Despair, Oumaryuutei Takeru Arkenios, who dreams of a peaceful world, has decided to reincarnate. 2,000 years later, he returned, but what awaited him after his reincarnation are his descendants who get used to peace and became too weak, and the Underworld became a pure-blood totalitarian world. He enrolls in the Dragon Overlord Academy, the school that gather and educate those who are considered to be the reincarnated Oumaryuutei, but it failed to see his power and branded him as the Misfit. While being underestimated by everyone, only a young crimson-haired devil princess who is kind to him as his companion, the misfit runs up the hierarchy and sets all histories right!"

…

That's it.

That's the sum up.

Also, it was Sirzechs and Azazel who decided to make this show.

*Sigh*…

What are these two idiots doing…

I haven't even thought about it yet…

Are they trying to expose me like this?

"The Boosted Gear which appears in this show is identical to the real one and the animation skills used to recreate it is truly astounding."

Kiba is eating popcorn while nodding.

…

Indeed… even I have to admit that the beauty and accuracy of these animations had some real effort put in them.

(What the hell are you?)

Said one of the two defeated male characters after the main character has walk away a few steps.

The latter then stopped, without turning around, he said.

(Listen well… my dear descendants…)

Several transitions went between several characters in the episode.

(Your Founder has returned…)

The next transition then moved back to the main character.

(I am the True Dragon Overlord of Despair! The Oumaryuutei! Takeru Arkenios!)

The outro then played. Which was also revealed to be the opening of show.

Lyrics: CIVILIAN.

Composer: CIVILIAN.

RUNNING AWAY FROM REALITY…

I MAKE A FANTASY INSIDE OF MY HEAD.

I BELIEVE THAT CAREFREE PEACE WILL LAST FOREVER.

THE CURRENT CLICHÉ KNOWLEDGE…

AND THE SPECIAL AND AVERAGE LIMITS…

WHO'S SAYING "THEY ARE NONSENSE"?

IN THE FADING MEMORY…

THE PROMISE IN THE DISTANCE IS GETTING TWISTED

IF EVERYONE FORGOT ABOUT IT…

I'LL PRY OPEN THEIR EYES AND MAKE THEM REMEMBER

I GO BEYOND THE CRUEL WORLD

WE PROMISED THE FAINTED HOPE ON THAT DAY

KICK UP YOUR PAIN
WITH THE HELLFIRE THAT SWALLOWS EVERYTHING

CORRECT, WRONG, POSSIBLE, IMPOSSIBLE

EVERYTHING IS IN MY HAND!

The upbeat song ended, ending the video, which is also the first episode of the show.

"Well, that was a blast of a first episode. But I was hoping for something like the main character presses his fingers on the heroine's breasts, making them glow or something.", said Azazel with a lecherous face.

SPANK!

And Rias hits the former's head with a paper fan.

"…Excuse me, Azazel-sensei. I heard everything from Grayfia, you know? The one who sent the idea of Switch princess to the house of Gremory's data team was you right? Thanks to that, I…..I…..", said Rias as she tried to suppress her anger, indicated by her face turned red.

Yes…

Even though Azazel's idea was not implemented right now, Rias was still being called "Ruin Dragon princess" by the kids of the Underworld. There were even magazines about her being called that. In some sense, her popularity increased by that.

"Who cares. I heard that since you started getting the support of the children, your popularity got higher, right?"

Azazel said while rubbing his head.

[Hell, I actually like this show. At least your fame increased, you know?]

'Except I don't need fame, especially when it makes things even more troublesome to lay low'

[Well, you can blame Azazel for that. After all, he's the one with the idea]

How droll…

"But you know, I feel proud that our childhood friend is getting famous like this, right, Alex-nii?" said the perky Irina who seems to enjoy the show a lot.

"Yeah, it is quite a change, seeing Vergil's figure in a popular anime show"

Alex agreed with her while smiling.

"I know right!? I also remembered that he was always agitated every time we acted as TV show heroes!"

"Hahaha! Indeed!"

Both of them laughed hard.

"I'm not deaf you know?", I said with a stone face.

"But it is my pride that Vergil-san is famous."

"Yeah. It will be good public exposure for our group."

Asia, who was next to me, and also Xenovia, seemed to be enjoying it.

Whatever, I can't change that now. Since it's Sirzechs and Azazel, they'll just shrug it off, even if it's my opinion.

I then felt something on my back.

"Vergil-san, do you remember our promise?", said Akeno who was pressing herself on my back.

She pushed my cheek was against hers.

Asia became unpleasant. Rias has her eyes twitching. Koneko, who is on my lap, is pinching my thigh silently. You know that won't hurt, right?

Promise? Oh, that…

"Yeah, I do remember. You remember as well?"

"Then… are you telling me that was a lie…?"

Akeno said with a sad expression and teary eyes.

"Why should I lie? Let's go on a date tomorrow.", I plainly said.

I'm a man of my word.

Akeno then hugged me more tightly and said with an excited voice.

"I'm so happy! Then our date will be on our next day off. Ufufu, my first date with Vergil-san."

I guess I'll be going out with Akeno one the next holiday then.

I then saw the girls glared at me hard.

Why do I have the odd feeling that something will happen soon?

Whatever.

"Since everything is finished, I'll go back to work", I said as I stood up.

"Do you really have to spend a lot of time in your new workshop, Vergil?", asked Rias.

"Yeah… I got a few ideas I want to test out a bit", I said as I left immediately.

By the way, I indeed did request a personal workshop to be made at one of the vacant rooms in the second underground floor. This is mainly for "that" project, as well as anything new in the future.

They'll sure to object if I were to tell them.

Sorry kids… but I have to do this…

Author's note: Changed my mind, extra story will be for after Volume 7. Also, for those who are wondering, the show is basically this story's version of Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha, with a little touch of Ouma Zi-O into it. Seikai Fuseikai is such a good song, I want to retain it. I know that Hiroaki Hirata is Vergil's JP iconic voice actor, but for the sake of the story and the show, I changed it to Suzuki Tatsuhisa, who is Anos Voldigoad's voice actor. Yes, I also know that the original anime is a R-17 show, this one is fit for all ages since it will have much less gore, and also since it's mostly an Underworld anime, well… you get the idea.
