A few days had passed since Irina had transferred in and currently Yukio was sitting in homeroom while they decided the people who would participate in the Sports Festival.
"Yes yes! I will do the "Item borrowing race"!" Irina spoke as she raised her hand high, Yukio smiling despite still being annoyed at her previous treatment of Asia as Irina had quickly settled into class due to her energetic nature.
Also he had noticed that when Asia, Xenovia and Irina started a girl talk it was really hard to enter the conversation and if Koneko or Orihime joined in Yukio felt left out, especially since he was the only guy in the whole house. The same was true with Rias, Akeno, Kiyome and Georgia and Yukio would admit he had taken a step back since he had moved to Kuoh and would listen to music in his room or talk with Sparda, Ddraig and even Isa for some company.
"Hosokawa?" Kiryuu called, standing in front of the blackboard as Yukio asked curiously
"Yes?"
"Would you do the three-legged race as well as the bread-eating race?" Kiryuu asked, a small smirk on her face as Yukio nodded and replied
"Yeah, I don't mind… Who's my partner for it?"
"You will be doing the three-legged race. Your partner is…." Kiryu spoke, pointing her chalk towards Asia who held her hand up timidly as she added
"We will have you and Asia do the three-legged race."
…
The next day, the whole Academy was practicing for the Sports Festival. Yukio's class was currently practicing on the school grounds, dressed in there tracksuits.
"I challenge you Xenovia!"
"Bring it on Irina!"
Irina and Xenovia called before starting to run across the grounds, Yukio rolling his eyes amused as his fellow classmates cheered them both on.
[Shame they are moving to fast to see there Oppai move] Ddraig grumbled, Isa adding with a disappointed grumble
"Yeah…"
{I can't believe that is what you two are thinking about at this time} Sparda spoke with a deep sigh, Ddraig arching an eyebrow as he asked
[What are we suppose to think about then, Sparda?]
'What Diodora is trying to pull would be a good start' Yukio mentally answered, partly cursing Isa and Ddraig for taking control of his eyes which were focused on Irina and Xenovia movements and the interesting things it was doing to there chests.
"Hey Yu"
"Hey Gen"
Saji spoke with a smile which Yukio returned as he turned to him and catching the toolbox he was holding as Saji asked
"What are you doing?"
"Practicing for the Sports Festival…"
"That's going to be fun…"
"Still got those black snake marks?" Yukio replied as he glanced at the bandage around Saji's arm.
"Yeah… When I connected to you in the last game, I gained more then just part of your Hollow and I've been influenced by the Sekiryuutei as well, well that's what Azazel-sensei said" Saji explained with a sheepish look.
"Nothing badder then what we knew before then?" Yukio asked, Saji shaking his head as he replied
"No, it seems like it doesn't have a bad influence. It's just that it's appearing on my body. Like this, for example." Saji removed the bandages to show a small jewel that was coming from out of his arm, Yukio looking it over before speaking with a small smirk
"…Maybe you got cursed?"
"Don't say something which I was having concerns about… Did you know that Vritra didn't leave that much of a good legend?" Saji cried out, Yukio rolling his eyes at his friend acting upset before commenting
"He's probably not that bad, Gen"
"I guess so… He is one of the Dragon Kings" Saji mused before asking Yukio
"So, what will you do for the Sports Festival?"
"I'm doing the three-legged race with Asia and the bread-eating race."
"Well, good luck then. I'm doing the bread-eating race as well and I won't lose to you, Yu" Saji spoke with challenging smirk with Yukio returned before Sona and Tsubaki appeared and spoke
"Saji what are you doing? We will be checking the setting of each of the tents, so follow us quickly."
"We, the student council, lack manpower anyways so please work."
"Sorry… I was just asking what Yu was doing in the sports festival, Kaichou, Fukukaichou" Saji replied while sheepishly scratching the back of his head and heading towards them, Yukio chuckling as he shook his head for a moment before Ddraig spoke up
[-Vritra aye.]
'What about him?' Yukio asked curiously, Ddraig shaking his head as he replied
[No. Don't worry about it. But it looks like the direct contact with me has fastened it greatly. No matter how many pieces his soul was cut into, it will be a different story when it has a "start".]
'You mean that Vritra might wake up?' Yukio asked, Ddraig shrugging as he replied
[I guess so… Anyway close to you, there are Fafnir and Vritra and you have met with Tannin…. It looks like you have strong ties with each of the Dragon-Kings.]
{All we have left to meet would be Yu Long and Tiamat…} Sparda spoke up, Ddraig shuddering as he groaned
[Please let's not talk about her]
"Asia! Did your oppai develop during the summer holiday?"
"Kyaa! Kiryuu-san! Please don't grope them!"
Kiryuu smirked as she groped Asia, making the blonde scream as Yukio sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose before approaching the pair as he spoke "Let's practice Asia!"
"Y-Yes!" Asia spoke red faced and head down while Kiryuu rushed over to Yukio as he glanced around to see people having trouble with being attached to someone else. Asia and Yukio soon closed the distance between them, the latter tying the rope around his left and Asia's right before standing up as he spoke
"Okay, let's take it at our own pace Asia" Asia nodded embarrassed as she put her hand around Yukio's waist while Yukio did the same to her as he started off slow
"Now left leg first…" Asia's gaze was focused on there legs with a confused expression as she asked
"Yukio-san, you can't move your left leg…"
"Well I intend to keep pace with you so all I need to do is move the opposite leg, alright?" Yukio explained, Asia nodding in understanding before moving her left leg forwards, seeing Yukio move his right instead as he spoke
"Right…"
Making there next movement, Asia tumbled only to feel Yukio grab her and manage to fix there balance as he sighed in relief as he spoke "It's alright… we just have to get in rhythm with each other, Asia-san"
[Nice save] Ddraig spoke with a perverted tone.
"Very nice save" Isa spoke with a lecherious smirk before Sparda shot back
{Shut up, he was only avoiding Asia getting hurt}
'What the hell…?' Yukio thought confused before looking down to see Asia's face bright red as his right hand was holding onto her breast
"S-Sorry!" Yukio spoke embarrassed as he pulled his hand away, Asia looking embarrassed at him as she replied
"…I-It's alright. I'm okay. But please tell me you will touch them beforehand…. I also need to get ready for it…."
"L-Let's just continue our practice then." Yukio spoke after taking a moment to calm down, Asia nodding as she replied in sad tone
"Y-Yes. But I'm sorry. I'm not that good with sports."
"Don't worry. We just need to have the same rhythm. It's teamwork." Yukio replied while patting her on the head, making Asia blush cutely as she asked curiously
"T-Teamwork?"
"Yeah teamwork…. It's like when I perform as a band with the Gen and the other guys; we're all following the same rhythm so we know what's coming up next in the song or who'll be singing next" Yukio explained with a relaxed smile, Asia nodding in understanding as she spoke
"Oh that makes sense"
"Then let's try it again" Yukio spoke, Asia beaming a smile as she cheered
"Yes!"
…
"How are you two settling in then?" Yukio asked, Kotake and Kotume as they, Asia, Xenovia and Irina walked towards the clubroom, the Fallen Angels twins offer smiles as they spoke, Kotake first
"It's great… the girls are really nice"
"It's good… although the guys keep staring at us"
"If any of them try and do something to you, just let me know and I'll sort them out" Yukio replied with a smile, drawing a blush from Kotume while Kotake smiled brighter.
Entering into the room, Yukio noticed that the other members were all there, wearing serious expressions as he decided to ask "Did something happen?"
"Yes. Our next opponent for the Youth Devil Rating Game has been decided." Rias answered, Yukio wondering how that would bring out such a reaction from everyone else until he heard Rias add
"Our next opponent is….Diodora Astaroth." Yukio's face turned serious at hearing that, clenching his fists.
…
"One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four." Asia spoke softly to herself as she and Yukio practiced for the three legged race, a headphone in her ear providing her and Yukio a steady beat for them to move to during there morning practice with Xenovia, Kotake and Kotume.
"It looks like you're becoming synced with each other" Kotume spoke with a small smile as she watched the pair move, Kotake nodding as she added
"Yeah, the music looks like it really helping you both"
"Yes. You guys have quite a good rhythm now. Now let's have you guys run as if it's the actual race." Xenovia spoke while fixing the rope on the pair's legs, Yukio noticing that Asia seemed a bit gloomy as he thought
'She must be having trouble considering we're going to be fighting Diodora'
"Asia, tell me what is concerning you." Yukio asked concerned, Asia putting on a confused face before taking a few moments to think before replying
"…I don't regret saving that person back then."
Yukio remembered about Asia saving a wounded devil when she was part of the church and due to that she was made a heretic and cast out, the devil who had caused all of that was Diodora. Yukio knew there was something fishy about why Diodora had been near a church in the first place.
{Diodora has a well used fake smile. What ever he has planned for Asia is no good} Sparda commented, making Yukio frown more before Asia asked as she looked at his face
"…Yukio-san?" Yukio blinked as he focused back onto Asia's concerned look as she continued
"You had a very serious expression just now…You also looked sad…"
"…Hey Asia, if you were able to get your old lifestyle back, what would you do?" Yukio asked curiously, Asia looking shocked as Yukio's hand tightened its hold on her own
"I won't go back." Asia spoke with a smile instantly as she continued
"I have asked Yukio-san once before. I asked you "Can I stay by Yukio-san's side forever?"… Yukio-san, you said "Yes", to me. I like this place. I also like Kuoh Academy and the Occult Research Club. I also like Buchou-san, Akeno-san, Georgia-san, Kiyome-san, Sensei, Kiba-san, Xenovia-san, Koneko-chan, Gasper-kun, Irina-san, and Kiryuu-san. I also love… Yukio-san and Keiko-neesan. The new life I started in this city is something very important, and something I greatly love which makes it so wonderful."
"You really are an idiot" Isa commented while rolling his eyes, Yukio smiling as he looked at her as he spoke
"Yeah, Asia-san and I will always be together! I also won't allow you to get married! Asia-san, don't think too much about Diodora. No matter what happens, you know that you can say no if you don't like it?" Asia looked puzzled for a moment before smiling as she nodded
"Yes."
"…Asia. I want to apologise to you once again. The first time I met you, I said harsh things to you. I still regret it even now. ….Asia, you treat me kindly. You said I'm your f-f-friend…." Xenovia said with an apologetic smile, her face red. Asia taking hold of Xenovia's hand and replying with a big smile
"Yes. Xenovia-san and I are friends." Xenovia's eyes moistened at hearing that before before she responded
"Thank you. Thank you, Asia."
"Uuuuuu! It really is touching…"
"I know…"
"That's really sweet" Irina, Kotume and Kotake spoke with teary eyes as the former approached them, Yukio quickly wiping tears from his eyes before asking
"Yeah… Irina-san, you also came?"
"Uuu, yes. Xenovia invited me… She said "Mornings at Kuoh Academy also feel good". And when I arrived, I saw this beautiful friendship. This also must be because of the guidance of the Lord and Michael-sama…" Irina answered deeply moved as she started to pray to the sky.
"If I remember, you haven't joined the Occult Research Club right?" Yukio asked curiously, Irina nodding in response as she replied
"Yes. I decided to join another club. Or rather, I decided to make one personally!"
"Hmm, so you are going to start up a club, huh. So what's the name and description of the club?" Yukio asked curiously, Irina puffing up her chest with pride as she spoke loudly
"Ufufu, be shocked by hearing its name! The club name is "Shidou Irina's salvation of love club"! The description is simple! We will help those in need without receiving anything in return! Aaaah, I will be spreading my love to the sinful pagans for the Lord and Michael-sama since I hold strong belief in our teachings!"
Yukio sweatdropped at seeing Irina making a weird pose while praying to the sky, her eyes glittering lively before Yukio commented unsure "…Okay then… Yeah. Well, do your best."
"Leave it to me! Of course I will help out the Occult Research Club when it needs it! This time I will be helping out the Occult Research Club with the race between clubs because of Rias-san's request!" Irina replied while banging a fist against her chest.
"How many people are there in your club?" Yukio asked curiously, Irina smiling as she replied
"It's still only me! Thanks to that it is only thought of as an association of like-minded people, so there are restrictions on the activities and funds given. I will have to start by convincing Sona-kaichou first."
"So it's decided that I will be put in the Occult Research Club for now."
"Putting that aside, let's resume our practice" Yukio spoke calmly, deciding to avoid pointing out that she was a part of the ORC as Xenovia and Irina joined the practice for the three legged race as did Kotake and Kotume.
…
"Fuu. I am a bit tired." Asia spoke while pulling on her tracksuit, Yukio stretching his arms above his head as he stood in the gymnasium storage room after putting away the rope they had been using, turning towards the door as he started to leave only for it to slam shut at the hands of Xenovia and Kotake while Kotume fidgeted with a blush on her face.
"What's wrong Xenovia-san, Kotake-san?" Asia asked confused, Xenovia looking serious as she replied
"Asia, I heard that girls our age start to flirt with others during this period… Isn't that right Kotake?"
"Oh course! That does happen a lot"
"F-Flirt?" Asia asks hesitantly while Kotume blushed as Xenovia replies clearly
"It means you get your breast played around with by a boy." Yukio looking surprised while Kotake grinned about to add only for Asia to exclaim while her face was beet red
"B-B-Breast…!"
"Onee-san that's not right" Kotume spoke in a hushed embarrassed tone, Kotake patting her on the shoulder as she whispered
"You want to get closer to Yukio-san don't you…?"
"Xenovia! Don't suddenly start a conversation like that!" Yukio spoke up, feeling Ddraig and Isa getting annoyed at him only for Xenovia to shoot back
"Yukio, be quiet for a bit. I will talk to Asia first. Your role will come after that. I'm sorry, but can you start your warm up in the corner of the room? It will become very intense from here."
'What the hell?' Yukio thought, swearing that Ddraig and Isa was grinning like idiots as Xenovia continued
"There is a girl in our class who has her breasts being played every day by her boyfriend. I researched quite a lot with Kotake's help"
"Oh yeah, loads of girls were talking about it" Kotake added with a smirk as Kotume blushed, Xenovia put her hands on Asia's shoulders and spoke with a serious face
"Asia. Don't you think it's a good time for us to also experience it?"
"A-Auuuuu….! E-Even if you suddenly say that…" Asia spoke in a troubled tone before Xenovia added
"It's okay. It might be a bit ticklish at first, but I heard it's something that feels very good afterwards. If you do that, then you guys will be able to perform better in the three-legged race."
"…Is "combination" formed by doing that…?" Asia asked confused, Kotume covering her red face with her hands while Xenovia smiled and spoke
"Asia… you, me, Kotake and Kotume are friends."
"Yes." Asia spoke with a smile, Xenovia nodding as she continued
"Let's also "flirt" together as well. It won't be scary if we do it together."
"…Y-Yes? I-Is that so…?" Asia stuttered, Xenovia looking to Yukio as she spoke
"Then let's do it. I will also be practising making babies as well."
"You can't do that here" Kotume spoke shocked, Kotake quickly countered her sister
"Oh come on Sis, baby making can be done anywhere"
"Hold on! Now is not the time or the place for this!" Yukio spoke up while taking a step back from the approaching girls.
"Wussy~"
[Just shut up and take it] Isa and Ddraig spoke together with perverted looks as Xenovia took off her shirt to reveal her bra covered chest before quickly unhooking her bra and releasing her breasts. Ddraig and Isa whistling in appreciation as Yukio tried to look away only for the two perverts to stop him.
"They are breasts which I haven't had anyone touch except Yukio, do you still remember how they feel?" Xenovia asked, Yukio's cheeks heating up at the memory of what had happened at the pool changing room.
"You too Asia" Xenovia added as she took hold of Asia's tracksuit while the blonde protested timidly
"B-But…..My heart still isn't ready yet…."
"Don't forget me, Yukio-kun" Kotake called as she bounced towards him already topless while Kotume was also topless while rushing after with an embarrassed face as she cried out
"Onee-san, give me back my blouse!"
"It's okay Asia. If you are nervous, should I do it with Yukio first? You will understand how to do it by looking at me, Kotake and Yukio, and you will be both ready and up for it." Xenovia spoke, Asia flustering as she mumbled
"Eh…! U-Umm…"
"Fufufu, I'm joking. I knew you didn't want to be overtaken by someone who came after you." Xenovia spoke with a small chuckle before Asia protested
"I-I didn't mean it like that…"
"Today is the chance. Buchou and Akeno-fukubuchou aren't here. Now might be the only time we have the chance to "flirt" with Yukio." Xenovia added with a smile, Asia becoming silent at hearing that before Kotake called out
"Catch Yukio-kun!"
Yukio turned just in time for two blouses to hit his face before dropping down to reveal Kotume covering the light blue lacy bra she was wearing while blushing brightly as Kotake was twirling her bright red bra with her hand while smirking alluringly as she noticed his stares at them.
"If you don't hurry up I'm gonna steal Yukio-kun from you, Nee-san" Kotake spoke as she started to walk forwards, Kotume's face reddening before she put on a brave face and rushed forwards as she called
"No way, Nee-san! You said we could share him"
"~Ah." Asia called with a very red face, Yukio turning to see her hiding her exposed breasts while Xenovia casually threw away the bra and grabbed his hand before Kotake and Kotume helped the swordswoman push him down
"Owaa!" Yukio groaned as he landed flat on his back on one of the PE mats, feeling something soft in his right hand before noticing Xenovia over him with her breasts swaying over him as she grabbed his left hand and placed it on one of her orbs.
[This is amazing~!] Ddraig cheered, blood starting to trickle down his nose before hearing Kotume moan as his right hand twitched as Isa chuckled
"Hehehe~ about time you got some action"
"Looks like your getting ahead, sis" Kotake spoke with a giggle, taking Yukio's hand from Kotume's breast and placing it on her own and helping him squeeze.
"Yukio-san… I don't want to lose to B-Buchou-san…" Asia called as she rushed forwards, Xenovia sharing a look with the two Fallen Angels before placing Yukio's left hand on Asia's breast who moaned sweetly
"…Nn…"
"Like I thought, it is different when you touch it yourself and when it gets touched by a man. Now Yukio, Asia, I, Kotake and Kotume are ready. You can now start fondling who you like" Xenovia spoke, Yukio doing his best to stop both perverted spirits form taking advantage and control of his hands as the door suddenly opened.
"…I came here because none of you were coming out and…W-W-W-Wh-what are you doing in here?!" Irina spoke, blushing at the situation before her of the four half naked girls piled atop of Yukio as she shouted embarrassed
"Do it in a b-bed! This place is filthy and is no good!"
"Oho! But you surely want to spend time with Yukio-san as well, Irina-san. Just cause you're an Angel doesn't mean you can't enjoy your childhood friend's touch" Kotake spoke with a slight moan as Yukio's hand twitched, Kotume blushing as she tried to wrestle his hand free from her sister and placing it back on her own chest as Irina stammered
"I-I-I can't, I'd fall for doing something like that with Y-Y-Yukio-san"
"You can just join the Fallen Angels after that, Irina-san… we'll happily look after you then" Kotake spoke with a mischevious smirk as she noticed Irina's eyes drifting between the four girls as they tried to share Yukio's hands, the Angel's face rapidly turning bright red in response.
…
After school that day, Yukio sat in the club while trying to avoid his eyebrows from twitching. During most of the day Ddraig and Isa had been talking about what had happened that morning perversely and Yukio had't managed to have a proper conversation with any of the girls since then. Currently Asia and Xenovia was playing Othello while Kotake and Kotume was playing a board game with Orihime.
"Hehehe, Xenovia, Kotake and Kotume's Oppai was amazing" Isa chuckled lecheriously, Ddraig joining in as he added
[I hope Asia's oppai will get to be as big as Rias and Akeno's]
{Why did I have to get stuck with two perverts…} Sparda spoke with a depressed sigh, Yukio sighing in agreement with him before Koneko pinched his cheek, from where she sat on his lap, as she spoke seriously
"Lecherious comments aren't welcome here"
"Ovch(Ouch), it vurts(hurts) Koneko-san… I didn't even say anything" Yukio replied, making Koneko's eyes widen as she let go of his cheek as he thought to himself
'Can Koneko-san hear Isa?'
"Looks like everyone has gathered" Rias spoke after checking around the room for everyone, taking something like a video out as she continued
"It's a video recording that has the matches of the young devils. Our match against the Sitri group is also on it."
"Not just you guys, but the other youth devils also had a game. The House of the Great-King Bael and Maou Asmodeus's House of Glasya-Labolas, the House of Arch-Duke Agares and Maou Beelzebub's House of Astaroth. Each of them had a match after yours. This is the recording of those matches. It's the video of your rivals so watch carefully." Azazel said as he stood up before a large screen, everyone nodding seriously as they spoke
[YES.]
Yukio blinked surprised as Isa and Ddraig had stopped there perverted discussion, realising that whatever they would see from the matches would help them in the future.
"First is the match between Sairaorg…. House of Bael versus House of Glasya-Labolas" Azazel spoke before they all started to focus on the match, seeing Sairaorg's overwhelming power as he fought one on one with the Glasya-Labolas Devil, the latter being pushed back one-sidedly even after the battles between their servants had finished. Zefardoll had lost all of his pieces and then provoked Sairaorg into the one on one fight and found out that all types of attacks launched at Sairaorg was knocked back before Sairaorg's fists easily broke through the defensive techniques of Zefardoll and then a single blow had caused agony while even the dodged attacks destroyed buildings nearby.
"…The one who was called the wicked one. The new heir of the Glasya-Labolas, who is hated, can't even put up a fight. He's someone of that much calibre; that man Sairaorg Bael." Kiba spoke seriously, Yukio feeling Isa grinning as the Hollow spoke
"I so want to fight that guy"
'Yeah well you are not going to if I have anything to say about it' Yukio thought back with a frown as Gasper started to shake and clung onto his arm as they watched the fight before Azazel spoke with a sigh
"Rias and Sairaorg. Both of you have too many one on one battles even though you guys are the [King]. Basically, the [King] can just have their "pieces" march forward while the [King] doesn't move. You do know that the game will be over if the [King] is taken down, right? Maybe those who carry the blood of House of Bael are hot-blooded."
Rias' face turned red in embarrassment at hearing that before Yukio wondered outloud "How strong is Zefardoll?"
"If we didn't limit it to the current six Houses, then he wouldn't be weak. But since the former heir died in an accident, he participated as a representative….." Rias answered, Yukio nodding in understanding as Akeno continued
"In the ranking produced by the Game committee, Bael is ranked first, Agares is ranked second, Gremory is ranked third, Astaroth is ranked fourth, Sitri is ranked fifth, and Glasya-Labolas is ranked sixth. It's the comparison of average rank of their strengths, including the King and their servants, though each of them turned the result around after having a match."
"But only Sairaorg Bael is excelling….. That's what it means, right?" Yukio asked, Rias nodding as she replied
"Yes. He is a monster. It's said that "Maybe he will rise up in a short time when he participates in the official game?" In other words, you can say that our fame would increase if we defeat him."
"I'd love to see Sairaorg-san fight Raiser" Yukio spoke curiously, drawing curious and interested looks as Rias nodded and replied
"It would be an interesting fight. Raiser's immortality against Sairaorg's pure power but I feel Sairaorg is stronger and would win"
"Well, I will show you the graphs. They're the ones that are distributed to each faction." Azazel spoke while activating his techniques to create a holographic vision of a graph. On the graph were the faces of the six youth devils and below them were the parameters for Power, Technique, Support, Wizard and [King] which grew upwards differently for each person. Rias, Sona and Seekvaira were fairly high, Sona being higher then Rias while Sairaorg was considerably high while Zefardoll was the lowest.
On Rias' graph, the Wizard catergory increased the most while her Power catergory was fairly high as well while her Technique and Support was a bit above the mid-point. Sairarog, on the other hand, was lowest for Support and Wizard while his Power rose towards the top of his graph showing he had several times more Power then Zefardoll who was the next highest.
"Sairaorg didn't even fight seriously in the one on one battle against Zefardoll." Azazel explained, Yukio gulping nervously as he realised his Balance Breaker or Bankai form wouldn't be able to reach that level at the moment as he asked
"So… Sairaorg-san must be a genius as well, then." Azazel shook his head as he retorted
"No, Sairaorg is the first pure devil from the House of Bael who didn't have any talents. He also couldn't inherit one of the traits passed down from the House of Bael, the power of destruction. The ones who strongly inherited the power of destruction are his cousins, the Gremory siblings."
"Amazing… So he reached that level purely by training?" Yukio asked impressed, Azazel nodding as he explained
"Yes… An intense amount of training that is. Sairaorg is a rare pure devil who attained power by doing abnormal amounts of training. He only had his own body. So he trained it to the extreme."
"Oh, now I want to fight him even more… Come on brat, let me fight him?" Isa asked eagerly, Ddraig rolling his eyes while Sparda sighed asYukio dismissed the Hollow's words while Azazel continued speaking as if telling a story
"He was being beaten and kept on being beaten since he was born, and continued to get defeated. Among the high-class devils and pure devils who are colored with a brilliant environment, he was the one who was walking in a muddy and bloody path.
A talentless person to become chosen as the next heir. Do you know what an exploit that is? He's the real deal since he knows the great difference between humiliating defeat and the happiness of victory. Well, in Sairaorg's case his strength also comes from something which is a secret, though."
The video of the match ended with Sairaorg winning while Zefardoll was hiding himself behind a shadow, the match ending when he declared his defeat while being frightened and crying. Yukio gulped at feeling the overwhelming power from Sairaorg, even through the monitor and that Sairarog's expression had not flinched at anything as he walked straight ahead to his path. The silence of the room was only broken when Azazel spoke "I will tell you guys beforehand, but after your fight with Diodora, your next opponent is Sairaorg."
"YES!" Isa shouted excitedly, earning Yukio a pinch from Koneko who was shooting him a glare as Yukio asked shocked
"Are you serious!?"
Azazel nodded seriously in response before Rias asked confused "Is it not a bit too early? I thought we would fight Glasya-Labolas before him."
"He's no good now. Zefardoll was crushed in his match against Sairaorg. His soul was carved with fear in his match against Sairaorg. He won't be able to fight now. Sairaorg has crushed his heart. His mind. That's why the rest of the matches will be done with the remaining participants. The house of Glasya-Labolas ends here for the matches among the youth." Azazel answered,
{He will be tough to face against} Sparda spoke up, Yukio nodding to himself as Ddraig added
[A powerful being that would crush the mind of lesser opponents]
"You guys also should be careful. He will come at you while having the high spirit of crushing the mind spirit of his opponents. He really is trying to become a Maou. Not even a slight hesitation or the will to give in lies in there." Azazel adds as a warning, Yukio looking serious as he nodded before Rias spoke after taking a breathe
"First, we need to focus on the next match. We will also watch the video of the Astaroth whom we will be fighting next. –I heard that they defeated their opponent, the next heiress of the Arch-Duke, Seegvaira Agares."
"…Yeah, Shinji and Daisuke said there was something weird with their match…" Yukio added as he crossed his arms as Rias continued
"Sona who gave us a hard time received a gold star mark, and like Akeno said earlier the Astaroth who defeated the second rank Agares received a big gold star mark. It certainly is regretful, but it was the rank given before the match began and they were nothing but predictions. So no one can tell what will happen when the game begins. That is Rating Game. But I never thought that Agares would lose, especially having met Shinji and Daisuke."
A flash appeared in the corner of the room, drawing everyone's attention to a transporation magic-circle appearing before Akeno spoke softly at seeing the unfamiliar symbol "-Astaroth."
Appearing from the magic circle was Diodora and Arisu, the former smiling as he spoke "How are you doing? It is I, Diodora Astaroth. I have come to see Asia."
"Hello Yukio-sama" Arisu added with a smile, Yukio offering her a small smile back before everyone moved so Arisu and Diodora could set opposite Rias and Azazel. After pouring green tea for Diodora and Arisu, Akeno sat next to Rias while the other servants stood near the corner of the room watching, Yukio finding himself remembering of when Riser had came before. Asia was sitting next to Yukio with a troubled expression as he held her hand in hopes of relieving her nervousness.
"Rias-san. I will say it straight forward. I would like to "Trade" [Bishops]." Diodora spoke with a gentle smile, Arisu frowning slightly at hearing that as Yukio's eyes narrowed seriously before being broken from it by Gasper calling as he tried to protect his own body
"Iyan! Is he talking about me!?"
"Of course not…" Yukio spoke with a sigh, patting the boy on the head and smiling at how Gasper had came out of his shell due to the Underworld training.
"The servant I am seeking from Rias-san is…the [Bishop] Asia Argento." Diodora said without hesistation as he looked to Asia with a smile as he continued
"The one I will be arranging is….." Diodora tried to pull out a catalogue of his servants but Rias stopped him instantly
"I thought so. But I'm sorry. I thought that I should say it before you show me that catalogue with your servants, so let me say it before hand. I have no intention to have a trade. It's not that your [Bishop] doesn't match up with mine, but I just simply don't want to lose Asia. –She is my important servant devil." Yukio smiled at hearing that, well aware that Rias wouldn't trade anyone unless there was good reasons for it.
"Is it because of her ability? Or is it because of her charm as an individual?" Diodora asked normally, Rias answering him quickly
"Both. I think of her as my little sister."
"-Buchou-san!" Asia spoke, her hand going to cover her mouth while her green eyes were teary as Rias continued with an intense smile that showed she was pissed
"We live together. Having my affections deepen and not wanting to let go of her won't be a good reason? I think that is a good enough reason. I can't understand you for trying to get Asia through me with such a method, Diodora. Do you understand the meaning of a proposal?"
"-I understand. I will return for today, but I will not give up." Diodora spoke with a creepy smile before walking towards Asia and taking a knee as he tried to take her hand as he spoke
"Asia. I love you. It's okay, destiny won't betray us. Even if everything in this world rejects us, I will overcome them no matter what."
Yukio snapped instantly, letting go of Asia's hand before grabbing the front of Diodora's clothes and lifting him onto his feet with ease. The silver haired young man was completely unaware that his left eye resembled his Hollow side while his right was normal as he spoke, his voice a combination of Yukio and Isa's "Don't you dare touch Asia, you slimy snake."
Diodora did his best to smile normally but couldn't help the bead of sweat rolling down his face as everyone was shocked at what was going on as Asia spoke concerned "Yukio-san…"
"Yukio/ Yukio-kun/ Yukio-sempai…" The girls all called out concerned, Arisu looking scared as Azazel frowning as he added
"Calm down Yukio… He's not worth it" Yukio gritted his teeth, doing his best to avoid giving into the urge to curbstomp Diodora right then and there.
"Can you let go of me? Even if you are the descendant of Sparda-sama, I feel a bit sickened to be touched by a filthy corrupt dragon." Diodora spoke calmly, his eyes narrowing slightly pleased at making Yukio's dark side come out only for his eyes to widen as Asia slapped Diodora before hugging Yukio as she shouted
"Please do not say that!"
"I see. I understand. –Then how about this. In the next match, I will defeat Hosokawa Yukio the Seishinryuutei. Then I would like you, Asia, to answer my love….."
"Me lose…? To a loser like you who is even getting help" Yukio spoke with dark smirk that made Diodora look surprised before frowning seriously as he declared
"Seishinryuutei…Hosokawa Yukio. In the next match, I will defeat you."
"Diodora Astaroth. I will show you the power of the dragon which you called filthy and corrupt to the extreme!" Yukio shot back with a glare which made Diodora wilt slightly under it, Azazel's mobile phone ringing out breaking the tense atmosphere before he spoke to everyone
"Rias. Diodora. Good timing. The date for the game has been decided. –It's in five days."
"In five days I will make you fear ever thinking of crossing a dragon again, you brat!" Yukio spoke with a smirk as he pushed Diodora away, Arisu looking concerned at the silver haired young man before leaving with her brother before Yukio gripped his head with both hands as his eye turned back to normal.
"What happened there, Yukio?" Rias asked concerned, leading Yukio to sit down as he shook his head and answered
"I just lost control a bit there…"
…
It had taken Yukio a few minutes to calm everyone else down and assure them that he wouldn't turn Hollow any time soon. Irina had been the most worried, having never known about Yukio's Hollow side in the first place from when they were children. Sparda and Ddraig had explained to Yukio that he'd temporarily, and subconsciously, synced with his Hollow side when facing Diodora and that had caused his eyes and voice to change without the mask forming.
After they had all calmed down, they had settled into watching the fight between Diodora and Seekvaira, the final battle of it being Diodora verses Seekvaira, Shinji and Daisuke. Yukio felt surer that something was wrong with Diodora from watching the match, seeing Shinji's [Bishop] empowered reishi arrows and magic having no effect on Diodora while Daisuke's [Rook] enhanced slashes with Zabimaru and fast speed by using flash step were easily dodged or blocked as was Seekvaira's magic based attacks.
"Diodora should have lost that" Yukio spoke seriously, drawing looks from the others as he continued
"Shin and Dai are strong… I mean I have trouble sparring with the both of them at the same time without using the [Boosted Gear] but Diodora just brushed them aside. His aura just… doesn't feel right either"
"So you noticed too, Yu?" Shinji spoke up, making everyone jump as he and Daisuke entered the room, Yukio nodding as Daisuke grumbled
"I can't believe he could just shrug us both off…His aura was weird like it was…"
"Tainted? Yeah…" Yukio added, Daisuke nodding as Azazel asked
"You think he's cheating?"
"Yeah…" Daisuke spoke with a frown before Shinji added
"At the very least he's taking something that's making him stronger"
"There's not much we can do unless we have proof of Diodora's cheating" Azazel spoke while stroking his chin at hearing that, glancing to see Yukio nod in agreement while the other Devils were surprised as he asked his two friends
"Is that thing still happening in a few days?"
"Yeah…. although we're still got to hear from Lucifer-sama about the details" Shinji spoke with a slight smirk, Daisuke grinning as Rias asked
"What are you on about, Yukio?"
"Oh… It's a surprise" Yukio replied with an innocent smile.
…
Yukio smiled as he watched Kiyome walk over to him after talking to the Tiger Yokai he had had to fight before as he asked "How are they settling in?"
"They're doing alright… I can't believe that idiot would have them controlled like that" Kiyome spoke with a frown, Yukio nodding in agreement as he remembered what Sosuke had done by getting Mibashi to control his monsters. Luckily after Sosuke's attempt to kidnap Kiyome, his parents had been extremely sorry and had given Kiyome's family the Yokai and monsters that Sosuke had been mistreating meaning that she would have to come here to help take care of them and help them get over the trauma of what had happened.
Kiyome smiled as she moved to sit down in Yukio's lap, sighing softly as she leant back against him as she pulled his arms around her waist as he asked "Must be weird to have to adjust to living in my place?"
"Kind of… But I enjoy being close to you, Yukio-kun, even if I have to fight with the others for time even though they are ahead of me" Kiyome spoke with a peaceful smile as she snuggled into his arms, Yukio smiling to himself as he tightened his grip around her and replied
"I never expected to be so popular myself" Kiyome turned so she could look him face to face a mischevious smile forming on her face as she quickly closed the distance and pecked him on the lips.
"Fufufu… I'll start my catching up now with the others" Kiyome spoke with a smirk as she straddled his lap, her hands slowily undoing the buttons of her school shirt to reveal a purple lace bra before Sparda spoke aloud
{There's a Hollow in town}
[Damn it! How could you cock block him, old man!] Ddraig spoke annoyed, Kiyome huffing slightly as Yukio sweatdropped as he kissed Kiyome on the lips before speaking
"Sorry, looks like duty calls"
"I know…" Kiyome replied in a sulky tone, getting up from off Yukio who quickly disappeared with his Sonido as he started to make his way towards where the Hollow was.
…
"I'll have to destroy that Diodora in the game…" Yukio thought aloud as he looked at the star filled sky after just finishing the Hollow that had been nearby, part of him surprised at how long he had spent at Kiyome's parents' home. He understood that noble devils looked down on any devil below them although there were a few exceptions, Rias and her parents being amongst them.
"Hm~ Iced Tea" Yukio hummed before taking a long sip of his drink as he stood in front of a vending machine, arching an eyebrow at picking up a familiar aura as he turned to see Bikou step out of the darkness as he spoke
"It's been a while, Seishinryuutei."
"Bikou! Why are you here?!" Yukio asked seriously, summoning Rebellion to his hand before noticing Bikou's lack of armour as he replied
"Well, I came to accompany my partner."
"It's been two months, Hosokawa Yukio." Vali spoke as he appeared, Yukio pointing Rebellion at his rival as he growled
"Vali!"
"I hear that you unlocked your Bankai and Devil Trigger? It makes me happy." Vali replied with a smile as Yukio summoned his Boosted Gear and asked
"Yo, Hakuryuukou. Do you want to continue from where we left off here?"
"You are quite aggressive today, Hosokawa Yukio."
"I've had to deal with the idiot Diodora today who was pushing his luck" Yukio replied annoyed, Vali nodding understandingly as he replied coolly
"I didn't come here to fight…"
"Then why did you come?" Yukio asked as he dismissed his Sacred Gear and sword as Vali answered
"I hear that you will be having a Rating Game? And your opponent is the next heir of the House of Astaroth."
"What about it? I can kick his ass easily, no matter what he's using to make himself stronger" Yukio replied with a shrug, Vali smirking as he mused to himself
"So you noticed during the match between the House of Astaroth and the princess from the Arch-Duke."
"Well, it won't get through the skulls of those High-class devils if it's coming from my mouth. But I thought that it might be okay for you to know it but considering you've already aware of it seems like a wasted trip"
"Do you know where his new power comes from?" Yukio asked curiously, Vali about to speak only for Katsu to step out of the shadows with an annoyed look as he spoke
"Vali, we should hurry up before the Devils notice…" Hello Yukio
"Katsu… I didn't expect you to team up with Vali" Yukio replied, taking notice to the lack of killing intent and his relaxed stance as Bikou explained while chuckling
"Katsu and Vali made a deal that the loser would work under the winner and he lost"
"Shut it you damn monkey!" Katsu spoke with a scowl, Vali not paying attention to the glare Katsu was directing to Bikou as he spoke
"Let's return Bikou, Katsu…"
"Wait. You came to see him just for telling him that?" Katsu asked annoyed, Vali chuckling as he replied
"I was nearby, so I decided to warn my Rival-dono."
"See ya Seishinryuutei. Hey, Vali. Let's go to the rumoured Noodle-shop on our way~" Bikou replied, Katsu smirking as he spoke to Yukio
"Next time, I'll reclaim both of those swords and those Devil Arms of yours"
"You wish" Yukio retorted before Katsu, Bikou and Vali disappeared into the shadows, a few moments of awkward silence passing before Ddraig spoke up
[Your rival is a weird one.]
'Look whose talking Pervert' Yukio mentally retorted, Ddraig ignoring his response as he added
[Well, you are also quite a weirdo as well.]
'Obviously… I've got the spirit of my great-grandfather and my perverted Hollow side stuck in there as well'
[-But I'm having fun.]
[It feels like you speak to me the most out of all the possessors I ever had. You are the first host whom I think I have fun having conversations with.]
{It only makes sense, we are his guides and are suppose to help him} Sparda replied, Ddraig nodding as he continued
[…Maybe that was the good thing. You don't treat me like a tool, but as a single being.]
'I don't deserve to use your power if I don't at least respect you'
[Kukuku. You sure are a weird one.] Ddraig spoke with a chuckle as Yukio started to head back to the clubroom.
…
"I see, so Vali came to warn you." Rias spoke thoughtfully after Yukio had explained what had happened as she put her hand on her chin as she mused thoughtfully
"…..If he entered this town, then we should have known about it….. But we can't find them at all. A technique to eliminate your own presence? A certain application of the senjutsu? Or did they use Kuroka's space barrier?"
Rias activated a small magic circle, sending a communication to someone as she added "I will report about this development to Onii-sama and Azazel just in case."
"This should mean we should definitely be on alert about Diodora if Vali is warning you about him especially seeing as Shinji and Daisuke agree with you that something it up. Now, shall we go home then?"
"Alright" Yukio spoke with a smile as he and Rias started to head home on the former's bicycle. Rias smiling peacefully as she hugged him from where she sat behind him. Yukio smiled at remembering that Gasper had moved into Kiba's house which was nearby, glad that the half vampire was more comfortable with going outside of the school now.
When they had returned home, Rias and Yukio headed directly to the latter's room, opening the door as three female spoke from inside
"Ara ara, Yukio-kun. Welcome home."
"W-Welcome home, Yukio-san"
"Yukio-sama, welcome home"
Yukio's eyes widened in shock at seeing Akeno wearing an erotic Miko costume, Geogria wearing a revealing maid outfit and Orihime wearing a school uniform that looked to be ready to burst apart as he stammered, his face instantly turning red
"A-Akeno-san, Georgia-san, Orihime! Those costume!"
[Ah heaven has finally come!] Ddraig cheered, Isa cheering along as Akeno smiled as she spoke
"Ufufu. I wanted to wear something like this for you, Georgia and Orihime wanted to join in as well. Do you not find this to your liking?"
"N-No…Thy're really amazing" Yukio replied, doing his best to avoid nosebleeding as Georgia and Orihime blushed with smiles as the latter spoke
"I'm glad Yukio-sama likes this…"
"I guess Akeno was right…" Georgia mumbled to herself as raven haired young woman looked erotically at Yukio while squeezing her breasts as she spoke
"I'm glad. Ufufu. What should we do now? Should we have an observation party? Or… Do you want to have private party on top of the bed with touching allowed?"
"Oh my Maou!" Isa spoke shocked, Yukio doing his best to avoid the nosebleed at hearing Akeno's words before freezingat the killing intent he felt behind him, glancing back to see Rias with a dangerous smile as she spoke to Akeno, who she regarded the leader of the trio
"…Akeno? What are you doing?"
"Ara, Rias. So you were here." Akeno replied on purpose, making Rias fume as she countered
"I am here, since this is Yukio and my room. It's obvious that I'm here."
"I see. Then wait there for a bit. I'm trying to have Yukio-kun get some fun with Orihime-chan and Georgia's help. –You are a hindrance." Rias froze at Akeno's words, Yukio noticing Georgia gulp nervously while Orihime had moved to hug his arm as Rias muttered in a shaking voice as a red aura wrapped around her
"…Hind…rance…?"
Yukio blinked as he saw Asia, Xenovia and Koneko appear from the corner of the room, the former two wearing Miko costumes like Akeno's was wearing.
"Yeah. It's easy to move. I can't wear my underwear with it, but it's good since it's easy to move with it." Xenovia spoke, Yukio sweatdropping at how she still sounded like a warrior while Isa muttered blissfully
"No bra… No panties!"
[Our host will graduate today!] Ddraig added in a loud cheer.
"B-But if we don't wear bra, then…it can be seen through…" Asia shyly spoke while hiding her breasts, Yukio noticing Koneko approaching him wearing a beast costume with her real cat ears and tails visible as she asked while posing
"…Do I look good in it? Nyan." Yukio froze at hearing that, unable to reply to the cute Koneko before him as Rias spoke with teary eyes
"…I will also wear it!" With that Rias headed to the corner of the room to look through the pile of cosplay outfits there as Yukio turned to Akeno and Georgia and asked
"B-But how did it turn out like this?"
"Well when I told everyone that I wanted to have some fun with Yukio-kun, they said they wanted to wear it as well. So it turned out like this." Akeno answered, Yukio managing to ignore the whooping from Isa and Ddraig as he tried to avoid nosebleeding as he nodded. A few moments passed before Rias came out from the changing room, wearing an erotic devil costume with her real wings flapping adorably behind her as she made a prideful pose as she asked
"Now, Yukio. I look better don't I? I know what kind of costumes Yukio likes."
"Y-Yeah! You look good in it!" Yukio replied, trying to avoid staring even as Ddraig and Isa tried to take control of his eyes before Akeno walked into the changing room after seeing that, emerging a few moments later in a costume that was basically string.
"Yukio-kun, costumes which have this much exposure are the best right?" Akeno spoke while making a pose, Yukio gulping as he took in the amazing sight as Akeno continued
"Yukio-kun. Put your hands up and have your finger pointed upwards as well."
{Damn it you two perverts!} Sparda shouted, Yukio's eyes twitching as he saw his hands and fingers moving against his will as he mentally tried to regain control only for Akeno to grab his right and press it into her breast. Blood started to fall from Yukio's nose as he heard Ddraig and Isa speak blissfully
"[Uwah! Unbelievable softness…]"
"Aaan…This is…A-Amazing…Yukio-kun's finger…. When I saw Yukio-kun glaring at Diodora, my heart was beating fast…Yukio-kun showed his manly side, so…I couldn't hold myself…" Akeno moaned erotically, Yukio trying to control himself and the two perverted spirits inside of him as Rias grabbed Yukio's left hand silently before pressing his whole hand onto her breast.
"…Nuuu… Like I thought my chest gets hot…when I'm being touched by Yukio… What is this comfortable feeling…? It increases the more I get touched by Yukio… So I end up releasing noise… Aaaan…" More blood fell from Yukio's nose at hearing Rias' sweet voice as he tried to block out the voices in his head as Akeno adjusted Yukio's hand so it was groping her breast as well.
Sparks danced between Rias and Akeno's eyes before the former shouted with teary eyes "I won't lose to Akeno!"
Rias headed towards the changing room, closely followed by Akeno as they started to argue
"No, I can definitely show a better posture to Yukio-kun than Rias!"
"Yukio said that I am attractive!"
"That isn't true! Last time Yukio said my body feels good!"
"You probably made him say that by force! Wait, did you call my Yukio casually with his name!?"
"Why can't I!? Yukio! Yukio! Yukio! Yukio! Rias, you dummy!"
"Akeno you stubborn head! Today I won't forgive you!"
Akeno and Rias started to fight inside the changing room, Georgia sighing silently as Koneko headed over to Yukio as she held up a tissue for him as she spoke
"…Yukio-senpai. Here is the tissue. You need to stop the nosebleed."
"Thank you" Yukio replied, accepting it as he wiped the blood away, as Xenovia and Asia took his hands as the former spoke
"This isn't good. When both of them start their fight, we can't stop them. Let's move to another place. We are going Asia."
"Y-Yes!" Asia replied, Rias and Akeno still fighting in the changing room as everyone else moved next door.
…
"So the match is in five days. It's soon." Xenovia spoke while moving her piece on the devil style "The Game of Life" that she, Yukio, Georgia, Orihime, Asia and Koneko was playing as they sat around a table, Koneko sitting on Yukio's lap as usual. The game worked on the basis of raising through the ranks and the winner is the first person to become Maou.
Yukio mentally sighed as he could still hear the voices of Akeno and Rias through the walls, part of him wanting to go break them up only to remember Koneko's advice
"…When it turns like that, rather than stopping them it is better to have them fight I think"
Koneko had also added "…Yukio-senpai needs to know more about a maiden's heart"
'A Maiden's heart…?' Yukio thought to himself before there was a knock on the door before Irina, Kotake, Kotume and Kiyome entered as the former spoke
"Waa, when I got home Rias-san and Akeno-san were having a big fight. I was surprised. Ah! Is it "Game of Life"? Let me join too."
"Well they obviously don't understand sharing like us, right Kotume?" Kotake added, Kotume nodding embarrassed at her sister's hidden meaning as Kiyome asked curiously
"There's a "The Game of Life" for the Underworld, can I play as well"
Yukio knew that Irina had just finished her errands as part of Heaven while Kiyome had finished with her chores at her parent's home regarding the monsters and Yokai. Kotake and Kotume, Yukio guessed, had probably finished up some duties for Azazel.
"Devil-style one? Waa, I'm interested in it! For a reincarnated angel like myself, I think I can enjoy it with a mix of feelings since I will be able to experience a fake life of a devil!" Irina spoke surprised, Asia laughing as Yukio turned to her with a smile and asked
"This is funny isn't it, Asia?"
"Yes. I thought that too" Asia replied with a smile, taking a moment to think before adding
"Yukio-san. I love my current lifestyle. And I love everyone as well."
"I know. Don't worry about the next Rating Game. We just need to do our roles normally." Yukio spoke in a reassuring tone as Xenovia nodded as she added
"That's right Asia. Asia and I are friends. I will become your sword and beat anyone who will cause harm to you."
"Asia, let's finish the game quickly so we can get first place for the three-legged race!" Yukio spoke, Asia giving him a big smile as she spoke
"Yes."
The door opened and Rias entered wearing a bunny outfit, Yukio blinking as he wondered if she and Akeno were having a costume battle as Rias spoke with a doubtful expression "I'm sorry all of a sudden. But… We are getting interviewed. We will be appearing on a television programme in the Underworld. We will be appearing as the youth devil and get interviewed."
""Television programme!?"" Everyone shouted shocked, Georgia glancing to Yukio as she quietly asked him
"Do you think it will interfere with that?"
"I don't think so" Yukio whispered back.
