Gremory vs Phenex!
Issei P.O.V
Today is the day of the match. I've trained for this. I'm getting all pumped up! Buchou, she has said that since we go to our school, we should wear our uniform. Its a battle uniform for us now. I'm a little nervous, but determined for today! With my new technique, I will have to thank Makoto for letting me borrow Raynare, hehe.
KNOCK KNOCK!
A knock at my door? Who is it? Makoto? Asia? It is late, more like I don't have much longer to get ready.
"Aniki...its me. May I, come in please?"
Makoto? What's he doing here?
"Yes, come in."
When he comes in, I see that he is dressed in...a modified butlers outfit!? Why is he dressed like that!? He looks like a small butler! He has very fancy decorations on his outfit! The white shirt, the black blazer to match with the pants and even, that's the symbol of Leviathan-sama on his blazer, isn't it? It seems to me like that, and what's with the golden chains on his hips? It isn't very, what I would call butler like. The rest of him is looking like a butler, but with those chains, it makes him look...actually, makes him look a little cool. Although, I think its a little...tight. The clothes look...very tight...it will be good for his girls!
"Aniki, I wanted to wish you luck for today."
I pat the bed next to me, he comes over and sits down.
"Um, maybe this isn't a question I should ask but, why are you dressed like that?"
"This? I'm dressed like this because, I'm representing Serafall-sama. I can't look bad for my King now, during this event. Actually, I will have to wear pretty much this all the times that I am attending an important event, whether that be a Rating Game or a meeting or even a party. Like Grayfia-sama wears her maids outfit, I wear this to be presentable for Serafall-sama. The chains, are Serafall-sama's idea. Its too make me look cute, in her words."
The chains, are to make him look cute? Serafall-sama is a little...strange but she isn't my Master so I have no right to get involved.
"I see. Well, you look cool!"
He blushes in embarrassment and looks away!
"Don't...I feel, a little uncomfortable dressed like this. These clothes, well they show...they are a bit...tight, don't you think?"
"I was just thinking that. Serafall-sama's idea?"
I smirk, he actually nods! So, she wants her Queen to dress in clothes like this, does she? He has a pervy King!
"Aniki, I hope you succeed for Buchou. She is, someone I care about also. She is kind to me and we can fight and not take it to heart. I wish I could do something more, but I will be cheering for you and Buchou and the others all the way. That's why, you need to win for Buchou. Become her greatest weapon, her Ultimate Pawn."
Her Ultimate Pawn, her greatest weapon, yes. That's what I am aiming for! But, he said he cares about her...
"When you say care..."
"Oh, I have a huge crush on Buchou."
...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
"YOU BETTER NOT! BUCHOU IS MINE!"
"I was only kidding. I don't have a crush on Buchou~ Or do I~?"
He better not! He will get her if he does! He has that Bishounen and Shota look wrapped up into one! He is a Bishota! That's the best combination for female attention! Uwah! I'm losing Buchou!
"I'm serious Makoto! You can't have Buchou! She is off limits!"
"Ara Aniki. No need to be so serious. Buchou is more like an, Onee-sama to me. But, in all seriousness, do your best, for Buchou. Also, I know this might be asking a lot, but please protect Asia-san for me. She is someone I care about, so very much. Please keep her safe, for me."
"You idiot. You don't even have to ask me that. Since she is so important to you, I will keep her safe."
He takes a breath of relief, it must of been on his mind for sometime. Idiot, of course I'm going to keep Asia safe, she will be my little sister one day when they get together!
"Thank you, well I best be going. I've got things to prepare for."
Things to prepare for? What has he got to prepare? But before he could make a move, another knock was heard at the door.
"Ise-san. Have you seen Makoto-san? He isn't in his room."
She is looking for Makoto?
"Asia-san, I'm in here."
She comes in...that outfit.
"You, are going as a nun Asia-san? You do look cute like that."
She blushes at him, but he is right. She does look quite...no, I can't think that! Asia is, Makoto's! Ise, don't think about Asia.
"Y-Yes. When I asked Buchou-san, she told me to wear something that I feel the most comfortable in. I thought about it a lot, and I found out that this outfit is the easiest for me to move around in…I'm not a Christian anymore, but I haven't forgotten my beliefs. Even though I'm a Devil now…"
"You look perfect Asia-san. Come here for a second, before I get Raynare and go."
Before he gets Raynare? Asia then goes over and sits next to the damn Bishota. He then hugs her! So sweet.
"Don't be frightened of the battle Asia-san. I'm not going to be there, but I've made Aniki promise that he will protect you. In every other time, I will protect you, however in Rating Games, its going to be Aniki. So, don't be nervous. I'll be watching, so if Aniki doesn't do his promise, he will be in for a world of pain."
Ehehe, I'm scared! I've seen what he can do with demonic power! We had a demonstration and he, well he blew a mountain away like I did, but unlike me, he didn't use his Sacred Gear. Although, he was physically tired with doing that. Same for me actually. We both are progressing at a good rate, but when he figures out his Sacred Gear...ehehe...
"...Can I stay like this with you forever?"
"Forever and ever! We will be together, always."
He did something I didn't expect, he kisses her cheek! Her face heats up...damn that is one huge blush. He is also blushing, damn. Its because he is a Bishota, he can get away with things like this, but then again, Asia has...lots of love for him. He just hasn't realized it.
"Ma-Makoto-san..."
"It was a good luck for your match. I'll be cheering for you! Good luck Asia-chan, may I call you Asia-chan?"
C-Chan? With a first name? Wouldn't that suggest they are close...
"Y-Yes! Please do! I'm so happy you would add that to my name."
"Well, I better get going. A Queens life is so difficult, especially a Maous Queen, don't even laugh Aniki."
He said as I snickered. He is a Queen. Hehe, he has that stabby look in his eyes!
"Raynare! We are leaving!"
Responding to that, Raynare comes through the door, in her maids outfit. Hehe, silly Fallen Angel, is actually frightened of Makoto.
"I'm here Master."
"Good Raynare. Now, we have to leave. Ready?"
"Yes, Master."
He then clicks his fingers...a magic circle appears! Asia and I become shocked at this! He can use magic circles now!? I didn't know this at all! They step into the circle.
"Makoto-san, you can use magic circles?"
I'm glad she questioned it, I didn't want to sound stupid or like I didn't think he could do it.
"Aah yes. During my training, Sera-tan taught me how to use them. I wasn't just learning fighting skills, I was also learning everyday things like these little magic circles. It isn't hard once you have it down. Anyway, have to go now, bye Aniki, Asia-chan! Good luck Asia-chan! And Aniki!"
With a wave, they both disappeared from us with a flash of light. Wow, he is improving with that, he really does have a talent for demonic power.
"Makoto-san..."
"Cheer up Asia! Your boyfriend is going to be watching you!"
Her face heats up again. Aah, she must want Makoto to ask her out. She is too shy to do it, Makoto is too clueless to do it.
"So Asia...what do you want to do before we have to go?"
"Maybe we could...talk about...ummmmm...Makoto-san?"
She really is hung up on him. Ehehe, well if she wants to talk about him then I'm fine with that.
"What about him?"
"Ise-san...could you tell me...what Makoto-san...likes?"
What he likes!? Is she going to fulfil a sexual desire of his!? W-Well if she wants to know then...I have no idea! He hasn't told me what he likes! B-But as his Aniki, I will channel Makoto and find out his desires and relay that information to Asia!
"H-He likes, innocent girls."
"L-Like me?"
I nod at her hopeful face. I'm pretty sure that's what he likes. But, I truly have no idea about what he is truly into. Maybe he likes oppai! He must be interested in something girls have...but what? I will make it my mission to find out! So like that, I try and tell her what Makoto is into, she actually took notes.
...Around 11.40 at night, we are all in the club room. We all have on our uniform, save for Asia.
Kiba is equipped with a gauntlet on his hands and has some armour on his lower leg. He has his swords against the wall.
Koneko-chan is sitting on the chair and is reading a book. On her hands, she is wearing gloves that allow her fingers to be seen. It's one of those gloves that martial artists wear. It looks pretty intense if a girl with a loli face wears it.
Akeno-san and Buchou are drinking green tea elegantly. Just to be expected from our Onee-sama's, they sure are calm.
"Hey Buchou."
"What?"
"Buchou, what about your other Bishop?"
I've heard that she has another Bishop. Buchou told me about it, but when I asked that, everyone started acting a little weird besides Asia and I. Maybe I shouldn't of asked.
"I've killed the Bishop. The Bishop disrespected me, so I had no choice other than to end the Bishops life. No one disrespects me and lives!"
I do a spit take! She killed her own Bishop!? Holy shit! She takes punishment to a new level!
"Hahaha. Oh Ise, that was only a joke. The other Bishop can't participate in this match. I will talk about it at a later date."
I nod at her as I continue to think about the Rating Game ahead.
But then, a magic circle appears on the ground.
"Whats going on? We have time before the match."
Buchou says with a confused face. So this isn't apart of the match? But I was expecting Grayfia-san, but who turned up was none other than Makoto himself.
"What the hell are you wearing?"
Buchou laughed a little, he sends a little glare.
"Rias-sama. Serafall-sama has instructed me to collect the Gremory group. If you will be so kind as to follow me please."
He called Buchou, Rias-sama. Wow, my little bro is actually acting all Queen like.
"Whats going on?"
"You will see soon. Please, step inside the circle."
Without another word, we all go towards him and once confirming everyone was in said circle, he activates it! Once the light had died down, we are in a different place entirely! This place looks like a...theatre of some kind! Yes, a stage is set and lots of seats...Risers group is here also. We have a stare down and KI is raised by everyone, but then...Makoto steps inbetween our groups and clears his throat.
"Riser-sama, Rias-sama. Please refrain from any immoderate, irrepressible behaviour before the official Rating Game begins. If you do not choose to follow this simple rule, I will have no choice but to alert my Master immediately."
Ehehe, this a complete change from how he usually is. Riser, and his group back down, as that girl who talked with Makoto that time in the club room, gains a blush. Oh great, another fan of Makoto, like he doesn't have enough of those.
"Amazing..."
Asia comments with stars in her eyes. Yeah, it is pretty amazing. He got us all to stop making a move with just his words!
"Ara ara. My cute kohai has got a strong dominating side."
Akeno-san! No! I can be like that too! Just give me the chance!
"Cool."
Koneko-chan commented with...a red face! Uwah!
"Makoto-kun is showing a side I've not seen before. Its very interesting to see this side of him."
Kiba you bastard! Don't even think about Makoto like that!
"Well done Hyoudou-kun. Such strong words, and you have the authority to back it up. Truly, you are coming into the role of a Queen of the Maou quite nicely."
"Many thanks Rias-sama."
Buchou smiled as he did, but then he became serious again.
"Now, if Rias-sama's group makes their way to the right side of me and if Riser-sama's group makes their way to the left side of me. Please be seated as Serafall-sama, in an act of benevolence for all participants for today's Rating Game, has prepared a performance to show support for both Riser-sama's and Rias-sama's groups."
A performance? Everyone is confused but follow what...Makoto said. Damn, he really is becoming serious about being a Devil. He is taking his job, very seriously right now. He didn't call Buchou, Buchou and actually added sama to Risers name. We do as he says, with myself next to Buchou.
"Please wait here. Everything shall be prepared within two minutes."
He then, walks calmly to the stage...and goes behind it.
"Buchou? What's going on? I, really don't understand."
I ask this question.
"I have no idea Ise. He said performance. So, that's what's going to happen, I presume. But what performance this is, well I have no idea. It could be singing, dancing, a magic act. Any of those things are a possibility."
"Ooh I hope it is singing!"
Asia says...while smiling cutely...no I can't think that! Makoto, what are you and Serafall-sama doing?
"Ise, you have a confused face. I'm the same. Isn't it exciting to see what kind of performance they will be doing?"
"It really is! Serafall-sama doing a strip tease!"
"Ise, I wouldn't go down that road, if you know what's good for you."
Was that a threat? Buchou said it with a scary aura! Even Akeno-san has a little scary aura when looking at me!
"Buchou-san, what is a strip tease?"
"A strip tease is where you take off your clothes slowly while dancing erotically. It is to make the suspense dire and wanting to see what's underneath the clothes. Personally I just prefer to strip naked immediately. Maybe Hyoudou-kun will do a strip tease for you Asia or you could do one for him."
Buchou prefers to strip naked! She can do that for me! Buchou naked! Her oppai!
...Asia looks a little confused...but clarity washes over her as she gains a massive blush...and is that a little nose bleed? She is! She is nose bleeding! Asia is having a pervy thought about Makoto! And I thought she was innocent. I then look at the others, Kiba is just smiling his refreshing smiles, Koneko-chan...is looking away so I don't know her facial expressions, Akeno-san is smiling and Buchou, she is...smiling also.
About two minutes later, the lights that was on, suddenly switch off. Then, the stage lights come on...people start walking on...Serafall-sama, Makoto and Raynare and...
"Hahaha, Sona. Hahaha."
Buchou chuckles, I think Kaichou knows she laughed as she is currently looking at Buchou with a hateful glare. But, Serafall-sama is dressed in her usual attire, Makoto is still dressed as he was before as is Raynare, and Kaichou is dressed in her school outfit, she looks uncomfortable.
"Today! My cutest Queen, Ma-tan! My cutest sister Sona-chan! The Fallen Angel Raynare-chan! And I are going to be doing a little dance for everyone! To raise the spirits of everyone present!"
A dance...what kind of dance I wonder.
"The dance is called Happy Synthesizer by the Vocaloids! Please enjoy!"
They each get into position...and they start dancing while singing! Well Serafall-sama is doing it energetically, Makoto is giving it his best for his King, Kaichou and Raynare on the other hand looks like they are about to die of stage fright or something.
"Where's my fucking phone!? Need video! Hahaha!"
Buchou starts frantically looking for her phone...she can't find it...she turns to me.
"Give me your phone, I need this video!"
Without hesitation, I hand Buchou my phone. She then starts using the camera on it to record Kaichou!
"Blackmail bitch~"
Buchou is, she is going to use it for blackmail purposes.
"Makoto-san~ Go Makoto-san~"
Asia sung out from next to me, she looks really happy. Koneko-chan, she has a huge blush as she looks at Makoto...Akeno-san is smiling with a red face and keeps looking at me, Buchou is still doing her recording, Kiba is smiling creepily to himself. But but look at Serafall-sama and Kaichou jumping up and down! Their oppai bounce along with them!
I can also hear the others from Risers group talking. Riser is looking at Serafall-sama, Raynare and Kaichou with a lustful gaze, some of the girls of Risers are...well they are eyeing up my brother in a creepy way, but none more so than that girl who talked to Makoto that time.
In fact, she has a very huge blush indeed. Ehehe, Bishota has the enemy after him, to be fair, she is quite good looking.
As they continue to dance, more and more comments are heard about each of them, all the girls, say Makoto is good looking...well he uses his Bishota looks there...Riser and I are saying things about the girls.
After the dance finishes...everyone claps. Asia is clapping the most energetically.
"Thank you everyone! Please have a good clean Rating Game! Now, please use your preparation times wisely!"
The Riser group left immediately save for a certain someone. We, as in the Gremory group go over and talk with the dancers.
"Sona, why did you do it?"
I hear Buchou ask so I go over to them.
"...I was promised something."
Kaichou was promised something? What was she promised?
"What?"
Buchou asks clearly. She blushes and looks at Makoto.
"A-A...A kiss on the cheek."
"Hahaha, a kiss on the cheek? You did this for a cheek kiss? Damn, you have it hard, don't you?"
"Rias...well...leave me alone."
I best not say anything about Asia getting what Kaichou wanted, just before.
"No I wont leave you alone! But, I never thought you would go this far for a cheek kiss from Ise."
From me? Why would Buchou say that?
"Shut up! Not from him! From Mako...Hyoudou-kun! That's who I want ape!"
"Don't start with the ape!"
As they are talking, I notice that girl who Makoto is aquatinted with, come over to him...as Koneko-chan glares at her, harshly.
"Hyoudou-sama, that was a erot...a good dance. I best be getting back, lets catch up again, soon."
"O-Ok Ravel-san. Yes, lets catch up soon, and be safe during the game."
"I-I-I will be. Thank you Hyoudou-sama."
With a bow from respective parties, she leaves.
"You all best be leaving, you don't have long now."
Serafall-sama instructed us. We all nod, except Buchou.
"I want to see it. Sona, I want to see it."
"N-No ape! Go and do your match already, and try to win. Riser, isn't good for you, you need someone on the same level of perverseness as you."
"Stop bringing Akeno into our conversations!"
Akeno-san? Is Akeno-san, a pervert? Akeno-san, she looks really confused right now.
"I'm not bringing Akeno into this. I meant something else ape."
"Whatever you say. But, Hyoudou-kun, you need to honour your promise to Sona."
He then gains a look of confusion, as Serafall-sama avoids eye contact.
"What promise?"
"Oh yeah Ma-tan, you did promise Sona-chan a kiss on the cheek, didn't you?"
He does a spit take at her words! So, he didn't know?
"Onee-sama! You made it up, didn't you!? Just so I would do that, Onee-sama. That was cruel."
"Now now Sona-chan. Ma-tan will cheek kiss you, wont you Ma-tan?"
"C-C-Cheek kiss Kaichou!? W-Well that is...she is my senpai...wouldn't that be...a bad thing...to do?"
Oh little bro, you need to be braver.
"Nope! Now please hurry!"
"Sera-tan...Kaichou? Y-You want me to...if you are ok with me then...I-I will...Kaichou...are you, ok with someone like me? Wouldn't you...rather have someone...else?"
...Hmmmmm, self confidence, he needs some. But, its only a cheek kiss.
"I-I don't mind either way. It is...your decision."
"M-My decision...Kaichou. It shouldn't be up to me...it is...your decision..."
"Alright. If it is my decision, I decide, yes please do as Onee-sama suggested."
Even acting all cool about it, Kaichou has a huge blush. Haha, Kaichou is blushing but has a serious look on her face.
"Y-Yes Kaichou."
In a matter of a second, he touches her cheek with his lips...her blush goes very dark red...she enjoyed it very much if that blush and the happy look on her face is any indication.
"Now! Please leave! Do your best, everyone!"
We all then leave via a teleportation circle Makoto made, on Serafall-sama's orders. Once looking around, we are back at the club room. We then get back to waiting for whatever is going to happen. Most of us sit down and think to ourselves, or that's what I am doing.
Sometime later, another magic circle appears, Grayfia-san is the one to appear this time.
"Is everyone ready? Its ten minutes before the match."
We all stand up and after Grayfia-san confirms we are ready, she starts explaining about the game ahead.
"When it becomes the time to start the battle, you will be teleported to the battlefield through this magic-circle. The location of the place is in a different dimension used for battles. You may fight with all your power. It's a disposable space so feel free to fight to your satisfaction."
Fight to our satisfaction? Yes, that's good. But, the Devils can even do that? Cool.
"This Rating Game battle will also be viewed by members of both households from a different location through broadcast."
So, others will be watching besides Makoto, Raynare, Serafall-sama and Kaichou? It is to be expected. Grayfia-san then goes onto explain...
"Maou Lucifer-sama will also be viewing this battle. Please do not forget about it."
Maou!? Maou-sama!? Wow, that makes me nervous. Even the one standing above us is paying attention to this match!? Buchou then makes a shocked face.
"Onii-sama is?…I see, so Onii-sama is also going to view this battle."
"U-Umm, Buchou, you just called Maou-sama Onii-sama…? Did I hear wrong?"
I ask this, but Kiba is the one to answer me.
"No, Buchou's brother is indeed the Maou-sama."
...Seriously!? Not only Kaichou has a Maou for an older sibling, but also Buchou!? But I've been thinking about this for awhile now...the last names...
"Are you confused because Buchou's and Kaichou's family's name is different to the names of Maou-sama's?"
Kiba, guessed what I am thinking.
"Yeah, that's right."
He, then explains about the Devils deciding to keep the names of the Maous and let it be inherited to the ones with enormous powers. So the current Four Great Maous are the ultimate class Devils that are the successors of the first generation Maous that has inherited their names.
"So Buchou's brother was chosen to be a Maou from the Ultimate class Devils then?"
"Sirzechs Lucifer, who is also known as the Crimson Satan. He is Buchou's brother and the most powerful Maou-sama."
The most powerful Maou. Sirzechs Lucifer.
"…So that's why Buchou needs to inherit her household."
"It's about time. Everyone, please head to the magic-circle."
We gather to the magic circle after Grayfia-san urges us to.
"Also, once you get transported, you cannot use the magic circle until the game ends."
So we can only return here after the outcome. As I'm thinking that, the light shines and transports us to a different location!
I open my eyes...huh? The club room? What the, did the teleportation fail? But everyone besides me and Asia are calm and they aren't even shocked about this situation we are in.
[Hello everyone. I am Grayfia, a maid from the House of Gremory and today I will be the arbiter of the Rating match between the House of Gremory and the House of Phenex. Also introducing my assistant.]
That was Grayfia-sans voice, but she said assistant?
[Hello everyone! Grayfia-sama has been kind enough to let me be an announcer also. Now, in the name of my Master, Serafall Leviathan-sama and in the name of Grayfia-sama's Master, Sirzechs Lucifer-sama, I along with Grayfia-sama shall be keeping an eye on this match. Did I do that right, Grayfia-sama?]
Makoto is Grayfia-sans assistant!? W-Well he is a Maous Queen, so isn't it expected?
"Hyoudou-kun, haha. He is, being groomed by Grayfia. Maybe that's a good thing. Serafall-sama might need someone like Grayfia, so Hyoudou-kun is going to become Serafall-sama's male Grayfia?"
Buchou said with a laugh. But, a male Grayfia-san?
[Very well indeed Makoto-sama. By using both Rias-sama and Riser-sama's opinion, we created this battlefield which is a replica of the school, Kuou academy, which Rias-sama attends to in the human world. Now, Makoto-sama please explain the next part.]
Wow. So this place is a replica? I look out the window, the sky is white! Even though it should be dark, it is white! Is this the power of the Devils?
[Yes Grayfia-sama. Now the location where both teams were transported will be their base. Rias-sama's base would be the Occult Research club's clubroom located in the old school building. Riser-sama's base would be the student council's room located in the new building. For the Pawns like Aniki to use Promotion, please head to the enemy's base to do it.]
Hey that's me! He even said my name personally! So, I can't promote unless I go into enemy territory? Its like that in chess.
"Everyone, will you all please put this transceiver in your ears."
Akeno-san gives everyone an earphone type transceiver.
"At the battlefield, we will be using this to communicate with each other."
Buchou said it as she places the device in her ear. So we get our orders through these things? Better make sure I don't break it, ehehe.
[Now it's the time for the commencement of the battle. Also, this match will continue till dawn in the humans time. So, the game starts now.]
[Please everyone do your best!]
The schools bell rings after Grayfia-san and Makoto said that. So, the Rating Game starts now! Buchou then says something as she sits on the sofa.
"First we have to take down Riser's Pawns. It will be troublesome if they all promote into Queen."
Akeno-san then prepares tea...should we be doing something like this in this intense situation?
"B-Buchou, you seem pretty calm…"
"Ise, the battle just started. The Rating Game is originally a game that doesn't finish in a short time. There are times when it becomes a blitz, but mostly it's a game that takes very long. Just like the actual chess game."
T-That's how it is played?
"The Rating Game has a meaning only if you use the battlefield to the fullest. Usually the base would be a fortress, a castle or even a tower. There are forests and rivers between the two bases and we battle using those areas. This time the school is our stage. Yuuto."
"Yes."
Kiba spreads a map on the table after Buchou urges him. Wow, the whole map of our school.
"There's a forest near our base. It's safe to assume that this is also our territory. In other words the new school building would be Riser's territory. It's quite possible that there will be an ambush when you enter their territory. The school field is visible from the new school building. So it's dangerous to pass through here."
She's right. The school field is visible from the new school building's windows. Well we could use our wings to fly, but I can't fly yet.
"Then do we have to go through the sports ground to get to the new school building?"
Buchou chuckles at my question.
"But the enemy will also know that. So he'll have his servant positioned at the sports ground. He'll have his Knight or Rook positioned at one of the clubrooms located in the sports ground. No, if it's a sports ground, you will need a person with mobility. So he'll have one Knight and three Pawns, a total of four servants positioned here. Then he'll have control of the whole sports ground."
"Buchou, it's about the gym near the old school building. Shouldn't we occupy this location first? The gym is a passage to both of the buildings so we could also restrain the enemy's movements."
Buchou nods at Kiba's opinion.
"Yes, I also have the same opinion. First we will capture the gym. In terms of location, the opponent may have his Rook positioned there. Since it's inside a building, it would be better to use the Rook with destructive power over Knight with mobility."
So this is how the strategy starts.
"…Yuuto and Koneko, you two set a trap in the forest. Take another map with you and make sure you mark the places where you set the trap in. I will make a copy afterwards and hand it to everyone."
"Yes."
"….Roger."
Koneko-chan and Kiba leaves the room straight away and takes a map and a weird looking tool box with them.
"Everyone else will be on standby until they finish setting up the trap. Oh, Akeno."
"Yes."
"After Yuuto and Koneko returns, can you cast illusions and mists around the forest and the sky? Obviously a trap that only reacts to Raiser's group. That's how the start of the match will be like, though it seems like this battle will become intense midway through it. So I'll leave the issue regarding the mists and the illusions to you, Akeno."
Akeno-san nods to Buchou.
"I understand, Buchou."
Akeno-san confirms. The strategy has already begun.
"U-Umm, Buchou? What am I supposed to do?"
"Ise, you are a Pawn so you have to use Promotion."
"Yes!"
I reply happily as she points to the side of her, following her unspoken command, she then guides my head to her lap! This is the best! For someone like to me to a lap pillow!
"Ise, why are you crying now? Tell me."
"Sob, getting a lap pillow from Buchou, I'm so moved that the tears won't stop. I will never forget this sensation. Sob, I'm happy that I was born."
"If it's just lap pillow, then I will give it to you again. You seriously are an overreacting boy."
This is amazing! I feel for Motohama and Matsuda because they wont experience Buchou's lap!
"...I could do that for Makoto-san..."
Asia has a far off look in her eyes as she mumbles some words out. But then, Buchou touched my head...
"…I unlocked a small portion of the seal that I had cast on you."
"Huh? Seal?"
The moment I say out the doubt I had, there is a big change in my body.
"Do you remember? The talk about where I used all my eight Pawns pieces to reincarnate you?"
"Yes."
"At that time, your strength as a Devil was low so I had to put a limit on your power as a Pawn. You, who just reincarnated from human, didn't have a body that could endure the power of eight pieces of Pawns. So I just unsealed a bit of the seal."
So, she unsealed some power then?
"That training was meant to have you cope with the power of Boosted Gear and the Pawn. Though there are areas you still lack in."
Buchou, she pats my head!
"Listen up, Ise. You have to beat your opponent even if they are girls, okay? You can't hold back. They won't hold back against you."
"Y-Yes, I understand!"
"That's a good boy. Use the Promotion to change into Queen. The battle will change if you promote into the Queen that possess the strongest power."
To turn into a Queen.
"But it feels weird for me, who am a guy, to turn into a Queen. Then again, Makoto is a Queen..."
"It's just a name for a role in chess, so you don't have to think too deeply about it."
"Buchou! I will definitely make you win!"
She makes a small smile.
"Yes, I will be relying on you. My adorable, Ise."
Pretty soon after that, everyone returns from what they are doing. It was decided that Koneko-chan would be my partner in this fight. And Buchou, she gives us her orders. Koneko-chan and I will be going towards the gym, Kiba has his orders and Asia is staying with Buchou. Akeno-san, according to Buchou is a key player in this fight.
"Now then, my adorable servants. Are you ready? We can't turn back now. Our enemy is Riser, who is said to be a genius from the immortal House of the Phenex with a promised career. Now then! Let's go and blow them away!"
[Yes!]
We as in me, Koneko-chan and Kiba head off.
"Everyone, do your best!"
Asia cheered for us, we wave as we leave and head towards the gym!
We run towards the gym. During our way towards the gym, Kiba leaves us to head to a different direction. It's in our plan for Kiba to leave us at a certain point. After parting with him, Koneko-chan and I continue forth.
We come into the back platform from the back door. Since the curtain isn't down, the inside is visible, I try and look to the court from our positions, Koneko-chan mutters something.
"...Presence, enemy."
"We know you are there, servants of Gremory! We watched you coming inside."
A voice of a woman, Risers peerage! Koneko-chan and I show ourselves to them by appearing at the platform boldly. There are four female Devils standing at the court.
A girl in a china dress...the girl who knocked my down before with her stick, damn I didn't think I would see her this quickly. Also, there are loli twins...the girl in the china dress is a Rook, if I remember correctly from Buchou, the others present are all Pawns. So three Pawns and one Rook.
"Hey! Pawn-kun of Rias-sama!"
One of the twins talk to me as I activate my Boosted Gear. I also get into a little stance.
"What?"
"Your brother, is totally cute~"
"Same here! Onee-chan and I think he is a cutie!"
What are they doing!? Talking about him now!?
"...Loli position is filled."
Koneko-chan said strongly to the twins! Loli position? She has filled it? Isn't that the same as proclaiming love? Makoto, he is watching this right now, what is his reaction?
"...Ise-senpai. Take the Pawns...I've got the Rook..."
Even though saying that to me, her eyes are narrowed at the twins...I guess she doesn't like...them that much. But, putting that aside, I stand infront of my opponents, and Koneko-chan stands infront of her opponent.
The loli twins pull out some chainsaws! Hey hey! Is that allowed!? They shouldn't have chainsaws!
""Disassembling time~""
Saying something like that in that kind of voice!? I hear a fighting noise from the side of me, Koneko-chan and the china dress girl are having a fist fight! Damn, that looks really powerful. I notice the girl, I think her name was Mira, she starts swinging her staff around in a professional manner.
"Split, split, split, split, split!"
The twins come right at me while grinding their chainsaws to the floor! The chainsaws are making sparkles and they swing them at me!
They swing them at me! I am just able to dodge it, thanks to my training with Buchou!
I tackle one of the twins with my shoulder and put some distance between us. If it's a simple move like this, then the Boosted Gear won't reset. If I get too carried away and attack them, the power will return to the original state!
A sound of something being pointed at me from behind.
"Wow!"
I also dodge this attack by a margin as well. The stick passes through my armpit sharply! It's an attack from the girl called Mira! I dodged it this time!
[Boost!]
Yes! A power up! The girls however continue their attack on me, I dodge the attacks that are coming from above me by moving my body to the side, and I dodge the attacks coming from the side by jumping and ducking down! I guard the attacks of the stick that is coming from the front by crossing my arms!
"Ah, geez! This is so frustrating~!"
"Why isn't it hitting him!?"
The chainsaw twins seem pissed so they start to step on the floor violently.
"…I can't break through his guard."
Looks like the stick girl is also irritated that her attacks aren't hitting me effectively.
Too bad. I also trained like hell as well. I won't be able to face Buchou and the others if I lose instantly!
[Boost!]
Yes! I'm ready now!
"Let's do it, my Sacred Gear!"
[Explosion!]
I will fight them in this state! My whole body is getting overflowed with power!
"I will take care of you two first!"
I run towards one of the twins. The opponents can't react to my movements for a slight moment. She swings her chainsaw after she realises the situation she is in, but my fist has already reached her!
"You! How dare you hit my Onee-chan!"
The twin of the girl I just hit aims her chainsaw at me! I twist my body and hit her instead! She also falls to the floor. Mira, the stick girl thrusts her stick at me! I karate chop the stick, it breaks in half! I take this chance to knock her to the floor also!
"Ku!"
That came from the china dress woman, when I look, I see her on the floor while Koneko-chan is still standing. Wow, even I can tell she has the advantage.
"Geez! If we lose to a guy like him, Riser-sama will get mad at us!"
"We will definitely dissemble you into pieces!"
The twin turns on their chainsaws once again. However, they wont get very far, ufufu.
"Take this! My new ultimate technique! Dress Break!"
Clicking my fingers, my opponents clothes get blown away! Yes, even their underclothes are blown to pieces! The white curvy bodies of the girls are exposed right in front of me.
[N-Noooooooooooooooooo!]
The collective screams of the girls echoed in the gym.
"Ahahahahaha! How's that!? This is my technique! And the name of it is Dress Break! I just kept on imaging the girl's clothing getting blown away into pieces! I spent all of the talent I have in making a technique that will make all of the girls naked!"
They all say nasty comments but I don't care! Its my move!
"...You are the worst...disgraceful...your brother will be ashamed."
Her words are like a knife in my heart!
[Buchou to Ise and Koneko. Can you hear me? It's me. Incase you don't know, its Buchou!]
...I think we got it Buchou.
"Yes Buchou! Koneko-chan and I are doing well!"
[That's good to hear. But Akeno's preparation is also completed! I want you two to move accordingly with the plan!]
Koneko-chan and I exchange a glance before we went to the central entrance while ignoring the girls who are down on the floor. They say something but we ignore them as we make it out of the building.
As we make it out of the gym, an explosion rings in my ears! Lightning was fired at the gym and it was destroyed instantly!
When I turn around, I can see Akeno-san with a smiley face that is flying through the air with her black wings spread. She has her right hand raised upwards. And her hand is sparkling with electricity.
[Riser Phenex-sama's three Pawns and one Rook retires!]
Ooh that was Makoto's voice! So, he really is assisting Grayfia-san? But, with that attack, Akeno-san defeated the enemies? Wait, Kiba did say she is the Priestess of Thunder.
"We did it, Koneko-chan."
I tried putting my hand on her shoulder, but she gave me the coldest stare I've ever seen.
"...Mako-kun your brother is horrible..."
Ehehe, is she going to tell him? More like, he already knows!
"Hahaha, don't worry. I won't use it on my comrades."
"…Even so, it is a very low technique."
[Everyone, can you hear me? Its Buchou again! Akeno did a perfect attack and finished it. With this, the first phase of our plan is completed.]
Buchou, your plan was successful!
[That lightning takes time to charge it to use for the second time after she uses it. So using it continuously is impossible. Though the enemy still has a greater number than us. We will also head out as soon as Akeno's demonic power recovers, so I will leave the rest to each of you till then. So please move on to the next phase!]
"Yes!"
Buchou's next part of her plan is going ahead! We start making our way to Kiba!
DON!
A sudden explosion! I look to the sound...Koneko-chan! A bit away from me, Koneko-chan has been badly damaged! I go over and hold her.
"Fufufu. When you hunt a prey, the best time to take them down is when the prey accomplished something because that's the time when the prey is the most vulnerable. Your group has a small number of members to begin with. That alone will be enough to give a huge damage to your group, right? Even if you defeat us, you cannot defeat Riser-sama."
That voice, I look and see its...Risers Queen!
"…I'm sorry…I wanted to be of more use to Buchou and everyone…"
"Y-You don't have to apologise! We were doing our job! It's not a problem! Just wait, once Asia arrives, she can heal you..."
Her body was enveloped in light, she disappears.
[Rias Gremory-sama's Rook retries.]
Grayfia-san spoke this time. I feel anger rise in me and I face her!
"Come down heeeeeere! I'll be your opponent!"
"Fufufu. What a noisy Pawn boy. Do you want to explode like that girl from before?"
Shit! She points her hands at me!
"Ara ara. I will be your opponent. Riser Phenex-sama's Queen, Yubelluna-san. Or should I call you the Bomb Queen?"
Akeno-san came inbetween us!
"I don't like that name because of its bad taste, Priestess of Thunder. Though I was hoping I can fight you."
"Ise-kun, meet up with Yuuto-kun. I will take care of here."
"B-But!"
I tried to convincer her, but she showed me a serious face.
"Ise-kun. You have your own role, correct? Go then. This matter here is my job. It's okay. I will avenge Koneko-chan. I will defeat this Queen with everything I have!"
A golden aura covers her body.
"Akeno-san! I will leave this place to you!"
After I say that, I turn around and head towards the sports court where Kiba is waiting for me! I get to the meeting place and wait for Kiba to show up, that's when I heard the announcement from Makoto, it seems he does Risers peerage and Grayfia-san does the Gremory group. The 3 Pawns of Riser have been retired. Kiba must be the one to have done it. Kiba, shows up a little later.
"Oh, it's you."
"Yup."
"Sorry, Kiba. Koneko-chan is…"
I look downwards.
"I know it since I heard the announcement as well. She must be feeling regrets. I never knew what she was always thinking about, but she was really pumped for this match. She was working hard when we were setting the traps in the forest."
"...Let's win."
"Of course, Ise-kun."
We hit our knuckles together. We are the male duo of Buchou's peerage! We can't look uncool now! He then tells me about how he beat Risers Pawns but also said about how Riser sacrifices his pieces.
"The enemies who are in charge of here are one Knight, one Rook, and one Bishop. Three pieces in total."
"…That's a severe defence."
"Well, that's how much they are keeping up their guard for this place. Against our intrusion here, that is. Since we eliminated the gym, they will put more strength here."
We then talk about our nerves, even Kiba is nervous and he has had tons of battle experience. But, he ruins it by making a weird comment! Somehow he brought Makoto into it by saying something similar to what Freed said that time! Don't say that! Makoto will be angry and I am too! That's my little brother you bastard!
"I'm the Knight of Riser Phenex-sama, Karlamine! I've become bored of trying to sniff through each other's strategy! Rias Gremory's Knight! I challenge you to a duel!"
A Knight woman steps forth onto the basketball court. So, she wants to challenge Kiba to a fight?
"Since she introduced herself, I can't hide myself both as a Knight and as a swordsman."
Kiba walk out and I follow after him.
"I'm the Knight of Rias Gremory, Kiba Yuuto."
"I'm the Pawn, Hyoudou Issei!"
"I'm happy that there are warriors like you two in Rias Gremory's group!"
Kiba and Karlamine draw swords.
"The match between Knights. I have been waiting for this. Personally I would like to fight in an intense sword fight."
"Well said! Rias Gremory's Knight!"
They both charge at one another using incredible speed! Its so fast! Sparks are made from their blades!
"You seem bored."
When I look at the direction where the voice came from, there is a woman wearing a mask that just covers half of her face. But then, I hear another voice.
"Geez, this only seems like a mud fight since both of them only thinks about swords, swords and swords. So many sword freaks."
Hey, isn't that the girl who talked to Makoto that time? Isn't she, the Bishop?
"Hmm. So this boy is the Pawn that Rias Gremory adores? Why didn't she go for Hyoudou-sama? Well, that's fine with me, that means I can maybe..."
She trails off while poking her fingers together...she has a blush...she said Hyoudou-sama...Makoto!
"Boosted Gear standby!"
[Boost!]
"I'm not going to be your opponent. Isabella, why don't you be his opponent?"
"I was planning to in the first place. Now then, let's fight since we are both bored."
"Ah, yeah. That's ok, but isn't that Bishop going to fight?"
I ask this question directly.
"Ah, don't worry about her. That girl is special. She will be mostly observing for this fight as well."
"W-Why the hell is that!?"
"She is...No, that person is Ravel Phenex. Riser-sama's little sister. She became Riser-sama's servant, but she is Riser-sama's actual sister."
She is his sister!? She waves at me to get my attention.
"W-What is it?"
"Is Hyoudou-sama single by any chance?"
"Well yes! Sort of! Well I don't know really! I think so...But that's got nothing to do with this! Shut up!"
She points her finger at me while looking angry.
"No I wont shut up! Don't tell me to shut up! I only asked you a question. Seems I will have to make a move on my own."
A move? What kind of move? But then a voice is heard!
[Aniki! Don't tell Ravel-san to shut up!]
What the hell is he doing!? Using the intercom for this!? And to defend my enemy of all people!? He should be sticking up for me!
"Thank you Hyoudou-sama! Lets get together soon!"
[Yes! Lets get together soon!]
What is this shit? Date by Rating Game? He is getting a date from a Rating Game! How the hell does that happen!?
"Ummmm...Now, here I come! Rias Gremory's Pawn!"
The Rook makes a punch for my face, on instinct I move out of the way so it only grazes my cheek.
"I see. So you can dodge a punch like this. Sorry. I was looking down on you a bit. I'll put one gear, no, I will increase by two gears then!"
She makes lots of punches and somehow I manage to dodge them all, even though she is doing them from different angles.
But then! She delivers a kick to me! She keeps delivering punches to my face as I was distracted by the pain in my stomach!
[Boost!]
Yes! I Boosted again! With this, it should be enough! I cross my arms to guard against her punches. Her punches are heavy even with my guard on! I will retire right away if I continue to receive these hits! I step back as she stops her attack. She makes a smile.
"I was taking you lightly. To tell you the truth, I thought I got you when my kick hit you…Looks like Rias Gremory has been training you well. Especially your stamina is magnificent."
My stamina?
"In a serious battle, the most important thing is the stamina. Even idiots can fight. But you need stamina to continue for a few minutes. Battles consume lots of stamina and concentration. Just dodging the attack requires quite an amount of effort. So being able to do it till now means that you have been training your body a lot."
Buchou's training! Its all thanks to her training! Yes, even though it was hard, it paid off!
"Rook Isabella. I am the weakest and the least experienced member in Rias Gremory-sama's group. But still I will defeat you!"
Something then gets my attention, Kiba's Holy Eraser, its been blown away by the Knight of Riser!
"Unfortunately, your Sacred Gear won't work on me."
Instead of being bothered by it, Kiba smirks.
"Then I will also tell you this. Unfortunately, this isn't everything of my Sacred Gear."
"What? Nonsense. Knight of Gremory, it's unsightly for a swordsman to…"
"Freeze."
Saying this, Kiba's blade turns into a blade of ice! An ice sword!
"In front of this sword, Flame Delete, all types of fire will disappear."
"A-Absurd! Are you telling me that you have two Sacred Gears!?"
Karlamine swings her flame sword to the side! She has an impatient look. The instant Karlamine's sword touches Kiba's sword, the flame sword starts to freeze and turn into a solid. It then breaks, but Karlamine doesn't stop her attack. As soon as she throws away her sword, she takes a short sword from her hip.
"We are the members of the all mighty House of Phenex that rule over fire and wind! Taste it! The whirlwind of fire!"
There is a wind of fire around the baseball court with Karlamine and Kiba in the middle of it. The hot wind is burning my skin.
"That Karlamine. Has she forgotten that her allies are here as well!?"
Isabella comments, while using her arm to guard her face. Kiba's ice sword melts away from the flames.
"I see, you are trying to burn us with the whirlwind of fire…But."
Kiba put his blade less sword in front of him. He then says it with a strong voice.
"...Stop."
The wind is getting sucked into Kiba's sword while making a large noise.
"Replenish Calm. It's been a while since I last showed more than two demonic swords for one battle."
"…Multiple Sacred Gears. Are you a Sacred Gear possessor who takes the weapons of other Sacred Gear users and makes it their own?"
Kiba shakes his head at Karlamine's question.
"I don't have multiple Sacred Gears. I also don't take the Sacred Gears of others and make them my own. I created it."
"Created…it?"
"Yes, Sword Birth. I can make any type of demonic swords. That is the name of my Sacred Gear and its true ability."
Multiple swords appear from the ground when he put his hand downwards! There are swords with different shapes. Even the blades are different!
[Boost!]
"Boosted Gear! Explode!"
[Explosion!]
A massive load of energy waves gathers on both my hands. But, I will have to hold back as, I can't destroy the school here!
Dragon Shot! My special move!
A mass of demonic power gets released from my hands. I'm blown back by the force of it!
"Isabella! Don't take it! Dodge!"
Risers Knight, Karlamine shouts. Isabella who was trying to take the attack before changes her action by evading it.
I look at the Dragon Shot that had hit the tennis court and I can't believe what I am seeing. The tennis court it hit, is gone!
"Isabella! Defeat that Pawn! That boy! That Sacred Gear has the power to change the outcome of the battle!"
"Affirmative! Boosted Gear! It will become a big threat if we allow him to use Promotion! I will take him down before that happens!"
The enemy came rushing in at me, starting to kick and punch. I guard them, and put strength in my left arm! I hit her! I sent her flying! I can now use it!
"Burst! Dress Break!"
At that instant, her clothes are blown away immediately! Here it is! Without wasting anytime, I put forward the small block of demonic power that I created with my right hand! What I imagine is a block of demonic power launching from my hand! I shoot it towards the enemy! It hits her dead one! When it calms down, Isabella is covered in light.
[Reset]
My Sacred Gear resets itself.
[Riser Phenex-sama's Rook retires.]
Aah! That was Makoto's voice! Although, he sounded annoyed...was it my Dress Break? I'm sorry for being a pervert!
"But it's an awful attack. No, I should say it's a scary attack. B-Blowing away a woman's clothes…"
"Yeah, I'm truly sorry. I will apologise as well. I'm sorry for our Ise-kun being a lecher."
Don't apologize to Karlamine! Idiot Kiba!
"But a demonic sword wielder…what fortune. I may have a destiny of meeting swordsmen who wield special swords."
"Hmm, so there is someone besides me who uses demonic swords?"
"No, it wasn't a demonic sword. It was a holy sword."
...Kiba's expression turned dark after hearing that.
"Tell me about that holy sword wielder."
He spoke in a low voice, filled with malice.
"Hmm, seems like that swordsman has some connection to you. But since we are swordsmen, talking would be rude. I will answer you with my sword!"
"…Is that right. If your mouth can move, then it won't be a problem even if you turn into a state where you are on the verge of death."
What's going on with Kiba? He isn't smiling like he usually does.
"So it's here."
"Huh? Where's Isabella-Nee-san?"
"Don't tell me she was defeated?"
Lots of Riser's servant girls starts to gather. Its his remaining servants! They are gathering here!
"Hey, the Pawn-kun over there."
Riser's girl calls me. What is it?
"Riser-sama said he's going to fight your Princess one on one. See there."
She points high to the school building...its Buchou!
[Ise-san! Can you hear me, Ise-san!?]
Asia's voice comes out from the transceiver.
"Asia! What happened? Is it about Buchou?"
[Yes. Right now I'm with Buchou-san on the school rooftop. The opponent, Riser-san, challenged Buchou to a duel and Buchou-san accepted it! Thanks to that we were able to get into the school building without any problem…]
"Seems like Onii-sama made a challenge since Rias-sama was doing well in the battle unexpectedly. It would have been our win if we fought normally, so he gave her pity. At this rate, she will be defeated before you fight him. Hopefully it is soon, then I can go and speak with Hyoudou-sama."
I sweatdrop as she makes a happy face. But, she then gathers the servants around her! She intends to finish this quickly!
"Karlamine. I will leave that Knight boy to you, but if you lose we won't fight in one on one. We will defeat him together. Or are you trying to lower the name of Phenex?"
She nods at Risers sister. She then introduces me to her Knight, and Pawns. The Pawns then disappear from sight! I receive blows everywhere on my body in an instant!
"B-Boosted Gear!"
[Boost!]
"Ni! Li! Boosted Gear is a Sacred Gear that doubles the power every ten seconds! From how the chainsaw twins, Ile and Nel, were defeated, you won't be able to take him after he gets his third boost! Finish the fight within twenty seconds."
They then start attacking my legs so I can't run away! I was then punched in the face, receiving a heavy blow! Finally I can't take anymore and fall to my knees. Buchou, she is fighting Riser right now, she is breathing heavily...she can't lose! I wont let Buchou lose!
"Give me strength! Boosted Gear!"
[Dragon Booster!]
My Sacred Gear makes a red light. It isn't enough!
"More! That time it was Makoto and Asia! Now it's Buchou! Answer my feelings! Boosted Geeeeeear!"
[Dragon Booster second Liberation!]
The red aura covers my left arm, and it shapes into something. The gauntlet starts to change its shape and form. It changed! The jewels, they are sending information to me directly!
"Kibaaaaaa!"
I get up off my knees and rush towards Kiba!
"Release your Sacred Geeeeeear!"
Kiba seems confused at my shout. But he put his sword on the ground and howls highly!
"Sword Birth!"
There are lots of demonic swords that appear from the ground! I touch the ground and let out a cry!
"Boosted Gear Gift!"
[Transfer.]
The whole area becomes like a display area of demonic swords. It increased the power of creating demonic swords and the area around us became a field of blades.
"…Impossible."
"Are you telling me this is also the power of the Dragon…?"
Riser's servants blurt out their anguish. That can't be helped. Their bodies are penetrated by the many sharp swords that are sticking out from the ground. Then their body starts to glow and disappear from the battlefield.
[Riser Phenex-sama's two Pawns, two Knights, and one Bishop, retires. Well done Aniki...aah, never mind! Ehehe.]
He is an idiot! Saying things like that now! But, he did cheer for me so I'm happy!
[Rias Gremory-sama's Queen retires.]
Grayfia-san announced to our shocks! Akeno-san has lost!? But, another explosion brings me out of my thoughts...Kiba!
[Rias Gremory-sama's Knight retires.]
I'm the only one left now besides Asia and Buchou. Akeno-san, Kiba and Koneko-chan are gone. I then see something...Risers Queen! Did she? She was the one who took out Kiba!
Without saying anything, she flies off towards the school! I run after her as I'm in great pain!
"Are you still going to continue to fight?"
...That was Risers sister, but thinking now. Makoto did only say 1 Bishop.
"I'm not going to fight. Its our win anyway. Even if you get to Onii-sama, you and Rias-sama will still lose. Also, since we had Phoenix Tears, we won. That's how your Queen lost to our Queen. And don't even think its cheating because you have a healer on your team."
Ignoring her, I start making my way to the school building to help Buchou.
"Don't ignore me! Well whatever. Soon, its your loss, and my gain! Win already Onii-sama. So I can get out of this place and see Hyoudou-sama again."
"Why are you so hung up on my brother anyway?"
"I don't need to tell you the reason. But if you must know, he is the Queen of Serafall-sama and I like his personality and he is quite handsome. I can tell what he is like already, so shy but determined and has potential. Its called love at first sight~ My ideal guy~ My Prince, Hyoudou-sama~"
Weirdo. I leave her to have weird fantasies about Makoto and go inside the building where I promote to Queen immediately. I rush to the rooftop with intense pain coursing through my body.
Making it to the rooftop, I see Buchou and Riser fighting with Asia in the distance.
"Buchoooooooou! Hyoudou Issei, here at your seeeeeervice!"
"Ise!"
"Ise-san!"
Hehe, I will keep my promise to Makoto and win for Buchou! Protect Asia when he isn't here! I make my way over to Buchou.
"The Dragon-brat, huh. That Ravel, she let him pass huh. Its because she is so infatuated with your small brother."
I can literally see the anger of Makoto's face in my mind. His Queen then comes next to him. They have a discussion about who should fight who, they mentioned my super awesome Dress Break as if its a bad thing!
"Don't mess around Riser!"
She shoots her power of destruction at the enemy's face, it hit! It took part of his face! But, it regenerated easily!
"Rias, resign. You will make your Otou-sama and Sirzechs-sama who are watching from another place look bad. You have no more choices. Everyone already has foreseen the outcome. It's checkmate, Rias."
"I don't think so bitch! I'm still here! The King! Nothing has been fated yet! We will pull away with victory!"
Yes! Buchou's strong words!
"Asia!"
When I called her name, she comes over to me. She starts healing Buchou and I.
"Asia, stay back after you heal us. If Asia stays, then you can heal me and Buchou. You are like our lifeline."
"Kyaa!"
What!? I hear Asia's scream. What comes into my eyes is the unfamiliar magic circle below Asia's foot. It seems like it is restricting Asia from moving.
"Sorry about that. It would make you guys seem pathetic if it takes too long. I could have taken that girl down but…I just made sure you guys can't heal any more. That magic circle can only be unsealed if my Queen is defeated."
So the Queen is restricting Asia's movements...shit! She is one of our trump cards...
"Buchou. The battle continues right?"
"Yes it does!"
She makes a strong smile.
"But only me, Buchou and Asia are left. And Asia is captured. He on the other hand is immortal. He also has two servants as well. The situation is the worst."
I put on a strong grin and speak again.
"But I won't give up. I'm dumb so I don't know anything about foreseen or checkmate. But I can still fight. I can continue fighting as long as I can crunch my fist!"
"Well said! Ise, let's defeat Riser together!"
"Yes Buchou!"
She ordered me! Yes, we fight together.
"Let's go!"
[Burst]
The instant that sound was made, my body feels heavy. I can't see straight, my vision is going blurry, is this...I'm passing out! No! I can't pass out now!
"The Boosted Gear's ability exhausts the possessor more than you can imagine. The burden it puts on the body is several times higher than the ordinary Sacred Gear. You have been running around the battlefield fighting my servants and continued using the Boosted Gear. Rias's Pawn, you already reached your limit a long time ago."
Buchou makes a sad face. No, I'm not giving up now!
"Buchou let's go!"
I charged at Riser but, I fall down instantly. I can't stand anymore. Buchou can't do anything anymore. I failed Buchou. I failed Asia. I failed to keep that promise to Makoto. Riser punches me a few times and my consciousness is fading.
[Rias-sama resignation confirmed. It is the victory of Riser Phenex-sama.]
[Buchou...Aniki...]
