WARNING!: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS LEMONS!
Now Iris's power was truly frightening. However, this is not surprising. After all, all this time her true desire was in a position where the mind and body contradicted each other. But having learned her real desire, she became a completely different person. Even in the High League of Kings Knights, she did not show herself as real. For the first time, I am actually fighting an opponent who is practically at the top of absolute strength.
The result of our battle can be only one
- " someone's death ."
But even knowing this, I will not run away.
"My body no longer trembles"
The heart that screamed at him to run away when he first met Edelweiss was now calmly watching the enemy.
I am no longer afraid or sorry. I feel how much I have grown since that day. The resolve on both sides grew stronger. Therefore, there is only one thing left
- to check whose chosen path will be stronger. Only one person is allowed to live on.
- Under the banner of the International League of Mages-Knights, the 1-year student knight of the Hagun Academy, the King of Swords of the Seven Stars Ayato Kurozakuro!
"He will face a rank 4 knight of the High League of Kings of Knights , Iris Ascaris!
- Enough words ... Let the battle begin !
Blizzard Hurricane Sword Emperor vs. Black Knight, Crimson Flaming Princess vs. Puppet King. The war entered its final decisive phase.
- This happened! The war between Cledland and Vermilion is entering its final phase! Half of the Cledland capital Lucerne has been destroyed by the efforts of reckless idiots, the other half is turned into the desert! But now, in the center of chaos, spraying sparks in all directions, a black and lilac flame collided! The helicopter with the commentator sank lower to the ground.
Blizzard Hurricane Sword Emperor Ayato Kurozakuro vs. Black Knight Iris Ascarid. A clash of two knights with incredible skill. - The traitorous Black Knight Iris-Gole put all the strength of her body into swinging her battle halberd. The blade, surrounded by tremendous magical power, is ready to crush, crush and destroy everything in its reach ...! Asphalt, concrete, steel ... any obstacle! Everything Iris touched with her halberd was blown out of her way like a raging hurricane. However, in the middle of the destruction, the lonely silhouette continued to calmly stand before her.
The Blizzard Hurricane Sword Emperor Ayato Kurozakuro every wave of her storm he met with a lightning swing of his katana.
- The Blizzard Hurricane Sword Emperor manages to restrain her onslaught! The Black Knight's battle halberd makes circular motions, while the Blizzard Hurricane Sword Emperor parries with direct attacks! Before the Black Knight's halberd reaches full strength, the Blizzard Hurricane Sword Emperor meets her weapon along the shortest path! Incredible!
The attack power of the Black Knight is at least three times higher, but it is the Blizzard Hurricane Sword Emperor that knocks back his opponent!
Everything is as the commentator said. It was Ayato's attacks that pressed the enemy. Iris's body kept back and forth. But that shouldn't be. No matter how Ayato attacked, Iris was not supposed to retreat. Her entire body is protected by the Orichalcus spiritual device .
However, Ayato succeeded.
He used his sixth secret blade, the Dokuga no Tachi . This technique is capable of destroying the enemy's body, ignoring any armor. With every thrust of his katana, he constantly used this technique. His every blow went through the thick armor and dealt damage to Iris. But,
- Do not forget that the Black Knight does not have simple armor! Her armor can be aptly described as the apogee of "resilience"! Unbeatable armor with unparalleled protection and healing power was unmatched in the League! None of the Blizzard Hurricane Sword Emperor's Doguk no Tachi can inflict serious damage on the Black Knight while she is wearing the Orichalcus! Again and again all her wounds are healed in an instant
Hell! The Black Knight is using dirty technique! Blizzard Hurricane Sword Emperor is an Generation Level , his magic power is on the level of an Untamed Dragon! The Black Knight's attack is like a machine gun shot! If he somehow does not shy away, he will only be left with minced meat!
But Ayato didn't allow it. His series of attacks was too fast, Iris's eyes were too slow to track his attacks. - The seventh secret blade - "Raiko"! An incessant series of blows by the Blizzard Hurricane Sword Emperor! The Black Knight cannot react in any way
... Moreover, the speed of Ayato's blows is growing! The series of attacks does not stop! The is still attacking! And its speed is only increasing! And even now it is increasing ...! The speed is still growing ...!
God, this will end someday ... !? The commentator cried out in surprise. Finally, the speed of his attacks increased so much that no one else could track the movement of his katana. The rate was much higher than ordinary " Raiko " .
Ayato created a new technique through the evolution of the Kekujitsu Isshin-Ryu - Retsu no Kiwami Amatsukaze style. This secret sword art was passed down only in the Sparda Clan. Ayato learned about him when he fought against his brother Ouma Kurogane Sparda.
During that practice fight, Ayato safely copied this technique. " Kekujitsu Isshin-Ryu - Retsu no Kivami Amatsukaze " used all possible speed of a person.
After copying such a powerful technique, Ayato spent a lot of effort to bring it to an excellent state. In fact, Ayato created a new technique that combined " Raiko " and " Kekujitsu IsshinRyu - Retsu no Kivami Amatsukaze "
The name of this technique was ... - "Heavenly Lightning" ! From about 90 to 108, the blows merged into one lightning-fast. Thunder peals tore through the night sky of Lucerne. Iris could not defend herself from such a powerful blow. Her body was thrown backward and she fell on her back.
"What a terrible ability! Even the Black Knight Iris Gole could not resist him!
She, an A-rank knight, has nothing to do with the worst A-rank!
Just look, a pool of blood is spreading under it!
And it gets bigger and bigger!
The Black Knight is losing too much blood! A very terrible wound for a person! Is that where their fight ended !?
- Til-chan, have you seen? Even a rank 4 knight can't do anything to this guy! - Yeah ... We could never beat him even if he got into a handstand
Cold Wind direction has not changed. It's just that all the air around their entire base converged at one point where Ayato was buried. The air currents began to circulate more and more, forming an air vortex, similar to a tornado. Air was sucked in. The wind was getting stronger. In proportion to all this ...
"Impossible," Abraham muttered. The " magical power " of the man he had just mortally wounded grew steadily. Finally, as the wind exhausted all its strength, a pillar of light exploded at the center of the tornado. The blinding violet blue of super-dense magical power burned the night sky white. And in the center of this radiance, Ayato, in a robe of magical power, walked through the rubble to once again confront Iris.
In that it was Ayato, Iris was convinced that all the circulating masses had settled down.
"You… you swallowed all the wind around! The total magical power of the blazer is determined at the time of birth. After all, magical power is the total weight of the blazer's fate, which he must bear.
Blizzard Hurricane Sword Emperor Ayato Kurozakuro is a Conception blazer whose elements is "Cryo wind Cryo Lightning Dragon". He was able to " absorb " all the cryo wind and Lightning blowing around the world, and turn it into his own magical power, which would greatly increase the power of his abilities.
... When Ayato pushed Ryuuzetsu high into the sky, the light pouring from his body turned into a giant blinding cryo tornado. A monstrous force that seemed to reach the moon itself spilled over into the Ryuuzetsu's blade . A raging giant cryo tornado enclosed in a sword. This is Ayato Kurozakuro's special technique, which he once used in a battle against Stella. Some time ago, Ayato absorbed the force of the ice and wind until the entire surrounding area became a cryo windless space.
By controlling, squeezing, and inserting the raging giant cryo tornado into the Ryuuzetsu's blade , he infused his sword with immense magical power. Laying down layer after layer of the cryo tornado's magical power, he squeezed the tornado into a glow that was not much larger than his own sword.
In other words, - "Kori Kusanagi - Shinuchi " 《 天 — 真 打》- Huge dragon claw that rips apart the Ice moon disk - True blow
It was the finished form of " Kori Kusanagi ", which he could not use before, because his strength alone was not enough.
"What is this sword?" - Scared Black Knight Iris Gaule. " Kori Kusanagi - Shinuchi ".
At first glance, he seemed to be drawn to the thin blade of light. But this was different from Cryo wind suction as a little earlier. He seemed attracted to.
The very space of the world was curved in the direction of this blade. The reality is that a monstrous amount of energy has been wedged into such a thin blade of light. That thought alone horrified Iris. What will happen to him if this blade touches him?
- Sis! Stop him immediately ! Don't let him do whatever he pleases ! - shouted Orelus, sensing that something was wrong.
Two knights with opposing feelings are ready to face one last time. Their feelings are equally strong and they do not want to give in to each other. Only one of them had the future.
- HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !
- HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !
Here and now.
The decisive moment in the battle between the Iceberg Knight and the Black Knight has arrived.
- " Cryo Wind of the Single Dragon Impact " The picture before his eyes turned upside down. The mountain slope of the Tatra Mountains, whose peaks were cut across, were reflected in his eyes upside down. When heaven and earth changed places once more, he saw his body in front of him, -
... Oh ... Which was headless.
Ayato and Iris. The long battle where Iris was chasing the retreating Ayato came to an end. Now everything will be decided in a quick fight, in which it will be revealed whose feelings are stronger. Of course, Ayato decides to be the first to take the initiative. Before just hitting Iris's battle halberd, Ayato deliberately took a step forward and began holding the katana that has Cryo Wind of the Single Dragon Impact activated in his hand.
It was the very art of the iai sword that helped him to defeat Stella at the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival .
The first is the mandatory activation of Cryo Wind of the Single Dragon Impact . To use all his Magic Power in one moment, he simply needs to remove the limitations of the Generations Magic and his steel body.
The second is to get ready and use the art of the sword iai. To empower the katana with incredible speed and power, he needs to firmly hold the blade with his left hand. And the last
- the need for a situation when the enemy will run directly at him. If they both rush at each other, Ayato, in close proximity to the enemy, will be able to activate his technique, thereby accumulating more cryo power and increasing the power of the slashing attack.
Having fulfilled all these three conditions, Ayato's technique can become the " last " in the life of his opponent.
But the problem was that Iris was aware of all the preliminary preparations.
She attended the finals of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival and saw him fight Stella.
This is why Ayato was unable to use this technique from the very beginning of the battle. But Ayato did not refuse to use this technique.
By using his mental powers to the maximum, he deliberately created a situation in the battle where Iris would allow him to enter " Kori Kusanagi- Shiniuichi " mode . Now all the conditions are met and the Ayato Knight is ready to attack with the fastest and strongest blow.
In opposition to his long preparations, Black Knight Iris-Gole raised her halberd high above her head and left her torso unprotected, as if inviting Ayato to strike her there.
Her control over magic was as high as that of the Crimson Princess. Releasing a tremendous amount of magical power, she condensed it and formed an additional magical barrier around her body. Despite the immediate danger, she wanted to let Ayato hit her. Probably not even Orichalcus will be able to withstand Ayato's attack.
Still, Iris believed in herself. After all, it was not for nothing that she was a knight in the League , whose protection was unmatched. It's not so easy to cut it. When Ayato hits her, his katana must slow down. And that will be enough.
If Ayato's blade slows even for a split second, Iris will smash his head with her powerful halberd blow. In order to prevail in this decisive battle and withstand the flames of Ayato's feelings, Iris must put all her determination and will into Orichalcus .
A sharp Nodachi " Ryuuzetsu " cut the armor " Orihalkus" ? Or fax reliability "Orihalkus" stop the Nodachi "Ryuuzetsu"? The sharpest Nodachi will collide with the toughest armor ... their fight has moved towards that end from the start.
- ... At the most decisive moment, when both rivals rushed to each other, one of them made a fatal mistake. The mistake was made by the Black Knight Iris-Gole Ascaris. All this time, she was focused on the speed of Ayato's Nodachi, which was moving so fast that the shadow did not have time to move behind the blade of the blade. This was precisely her mistake. She did not fully understand the nature of the Ayato technique.
After all, Ayato's Nodachi was not only fast, but also very strong.
Ayato put into his incredible blade all his skill and Magic trained in torment, all his soul and all the physical strength of his body.
He put into the katana everything that shaped Ayato Kurogane's personality ... and not only.
In addition to all of the above, he put in the culmination of his development
- the essence of " Desperate ". Iris had to guess. Ayato always defeated enemies that could not be defeated. He was Superior in strength to his opponents.
He lacked control.
But he won anyway.
And now this desire to win was put into that single blow. He just couldn't lose.
The moment he prepared to strike at Iris, his blade, which carried the entire history of his victories, merged with the gravitational pull of the fate of the Desperate , which had a great influence on the causality of this world.
Ayato's nascent desire intervened in the history of the world and reduced to ashes the page where Ayato was to lose.
The die is cast, the Rubicon is crossed. In the battle between the Desperate, the victory is won by the one who first intervenes in the causal relationships of the world.
His desire destroyed possible defeat and formed at the tip of his blade as a Freezing force to cut and Freeze everything in its path This was the real essence of the last secret blade - " Kori-Kaze Kage "
- …and The true nature of the " Oikage " technique , which cut its fate. It was only at the last moment that Iris noticed how the blade of the Ryuuzetsu , as if through a haze, passed through her Orichalcus armor and pierced deeply into her body. The Orichalcus armor , cut by Ayato's causal desire, cracked and shattered into black dust. Ghah. Iris coughed violently and spilled blood from her mouth.
Together with the blood, her knees, weakened, could no longer maintain an upright position of her body, and she began to fall to the ground. However, a complete fall was avoided. Ayato stepped forward and grabbed her body tenderly.
"I won," Ayato said with dignity, limping limply on his chest. Their battle is over.
"… Yes…" Iris agreed, nodding weakly at his words. The wound Ayato inflicted on her is so deep that it has reached her spine. Her intestines have been cut into pieces and are unlikely to function now. But that's not the point Of great danger was the side effect of Enhanced Recovery , which she used continuously during their battle.
Everything in the world has a limit. Iris's body was so strong that it had long gone beyond all limits and without the Orichalcus armor it could not function. The moment her Orichalcus was destroyed and the restorative power ceased, her body began to self-destruct. Her organs began to explode from their own contractions, muscles tore from excessive tension, and high blood pressure killed her brain cells.
Only thanks to the flesh, Iris still retained her human form. And, unfortunately, such serious destruction of the body cannot be healed with the help of recovery booths.
After all, the physical strengthening of the body with the help of " Enhanced Recovery " has a permanent effect. This process does not obey her will in any way. Whatever methods of treatment are now applied to her, the body will never stop self-destructing.
Now ... nothing will help her. And Iris was well aware of this. She understood that all her actions in this battle were a one-way ticket. Still, she continued to use Enhanced Recovery ... despite the fact that only death awaited her. Iris knew the inevitable consequences.
"Shiver…" Suddenly to herself, Iris noticed that her body was trembling. Is it fear? Fear of dying despite betraying her friends and the person who raised her? The thought struck her as so disgusting that Iris brushed it off instantly. There must be some other reason ... The source of the tremors must lie elsewhere. Her body is dead. All physical strength left her body after that injury. Then ... why am I shivering?
"…and…" Her question needed no answer. After all, it was not Iris herself who was trembling, but the one who held her all this time.
- ... A tremor, not entirely clear to her, was transmitted to her body through the flesh. Without a doubt, the man who struck her to death could not help crying. "… Exactly. Ayato is not the kind of person who enjoys the death of people " Especially when a man was dying, killed by his own hands. He never craved battles where you have to cross weapons with a friend. How much pain and anguish did he experience from his act?
"... Such thoughts ... such a will ... I have never met people like him ..." He never allowed insults or bullying on his part.
He has always been a real knight who, for the sake of his chosen path, continued to fight. And ... even now.
He struggles to hide the expression of bitterness. He spoke his words of victory with dignity to the enemy.
After all, he understood that he could not disrespect the person whose path he had just interrupted with his sword. He must be making a titanic effort.
"Still ... not allowed" Not.
I cannot afford to let this amazing boy waste his kindness on me.
Before I leave, I must ease his agony.
He shouldn't feel guilty towards me.
This is not acceptable at all.
Fighting death, Iris scraped out the particles of her power from the dead body and took a deep breath.
"… Ayato… kun. I have to tell him this. - Please ... forget about me ... Those hoarse sounds that came out of her throat can hardly be called a voice. But luckily, Iris was lying on Ayato's chest, so her words reached him. You don't have to carry this burden. Just forget about everything. Forget Iris as a bad dream.
"Never," Ayato refused and put his hand on Iris's head.
"People like you will no doubt be criticized ... History will brand you as a villain. But for me you will remain an incredibly kind woman who, in order to save her family, turned the whole world into her enemies. My sword will forever remember the moment when I defeated such an incredible knight. This is my path of a knight, and I will follow it to the end.
As Ayato spoke, he did not stop hugging Iris tenderly.
- ... Unfortunately, all of his words ... did not reach Iris. Her hearing is impaired, and the light in her eyes has faded. She saw nothing and heard nothing. But the warmth that penetrated her cold body made it clear to Iris that this person would never forget her. This feeling ... could not but be pleasant for her.
- Thank… The words of gratitude by themselves came out of her mouth with the last air. All she wanted to say was said. She has nothing more to add.
- ... With the last words, Iris turned her consciousness to her body.
"…I'm so tired…" The last vitality is used up. I didn't even have the strength to breathe, my eyes closed.
I see ... so this is what death is. I'll go to sleep and never wake up again.
All my bitterness ... my fears ... have gone somewhere. Only a feeling of comfort seized my body. The feeling that I am about to be able to finally rest.
Come to think of it ... I've never felt so peaceful since that tragedy. Whenever I closed my eyes, the bloody scene in the church where I kill my parents and friends would pop up in my head. All my life, I, Iris Ascaris, have lived with the aim of killing my brother and avenging his every atrocity as if it were my own sin. It was only at the end that I realized my true feelings.
I remembered that promise when I held that little hand in my hand. But I couldn't keep those words ... even though I tried. I used all my strength ... all of myself ... But, "Sorry ... I did my best ... but I lost ..." Black Knight Iris-Gole Ascaris fully embraced her ending.
With a calm expression on her face, she fell asleep in eternal sleep under the first rays of the sun
- Oh my God!
A decisive moment has just happened before our very eyes!
It ... it was definitely Kori kazekage!
The same Mediocre Knight technique with which he won the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival !
When the Mediocre Knight and the Black Knight rushed towards each other, "Korikazekage" destroyed the "Orichalcus" armor! The Blizzard Hurricane Sword Emperor Ayato Kurozakuro defeats the Black Knight who has betrayed the Vermilion team ! - shouted the commentator in a voice of complete delight.
- The Black Knight doesn't move! The mediocre Knight, with mourning movements, lays her body on the ground. Is the Black Knight dead? I can send a rescue team to the site, but it looks like it's too late. No matter how much medicine develops, it is impossible to resurrect the deceased. But! We must not forget that she has betrayed the League! Don't mourn this stupid idiot who decided to support the Puppet King!
There are more important things now. Namely, the victory of the Frozen Knight! This damn guy was able to beat such a formidable opponent ! Words of gratitude came not only from the commentator. All the inhabitants of Vermilion, who watched the fight Ayato on the live broadcast, could not resist loud applause.
- Incredible ...! Ayato-san won! - What a heartbreaking fight ... How did he manage to win?
- I hope he didn't overdo it! All the inhabitants of Vermilion were happy that Ayato was able to survive. Only Sirius, speechless from what he had just seen, could not join the general fun
. "…This guy…" The King of Vermilion was a real warrior, so in this battle he saw much more than ordinary people. The broadcast clearly showed how they clashed in the last decisive battle and Ayato stabbed Iris deeply in the stomach. But Sirius understood that such an outcome should not have happened. The Black Knight led on all fronts and would have won if she continued to pursue Ayato.
There is no room for haste in war, she could not risk for victory. However, Iris abandoned the previous tactics and this was in Ayato's hands. Iris' impatience reached its peak and in order to help Or-Goul, she decided on a dangerous act.
Ayato from the very beginning of the battle understood that he had very little chance of winning. To deal with the enemy, he had only one way. Iris pecked at the result of the battle in front of everyone. Surely when he sent Stella to chase Ohr-Goul, that was also part of his plan. From the very beginning of the battle, the Black Knight fought at the dictation of Ayato.
"Did he foresee everything in advance ...?"
Based on sound logic, the Black Knight should have won this battle. But the result is the opposite.
The whole battle from the very beginning to the end went under the dictation of Ayato.
The enemy acted as he expected.
And the outcome of the battle came out the way Ayato had planned.
There was no danger.
Ayato calculated everything and beat the fourth most powerful knight in the world.
This is not a lie or a trick.
People understood this perfectly. Knights of the League watching his fight from a distance.
Influential people who watched the replay of his battle a little later.
They all changed their minds about him.
Previously, Ayato was a promising rookie who took out the Crimson Flaming Princess at the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival .
But after defeating the Black Knight, he was officially recognized as a knight representing the League .
Prior to this war, several nicknames had already been assigned to Ayato. Frozen Knight, Cryo Hurricane Sword Emperor, Cryo Raikiri Sword Emperor, Frozen beast King King of Swords of Seven Stars.
With Lot of nicknames, he went through most of his life. And now, to these Five , one more has been added- the Cryo Sword God Ayato Kurozakuro.
In that moment, Mio Naruse Gremory unleashed the gravity magic that she had built-up within her body to the limit. That power pushed Orleus Gaule down from directly above, and generated a black hole — this kind of thing did not happen.
"—!"
Just as Mio Naruse's consciousness began to blur after she put forth all her strength, something happened. Although her gravity magic was indeed covering Orelus Gaule, the centre point was a little further forward. I must not harm Ayato…these kinds of thoughts caused Mio to subconsciously move the position a little forward, but — this was a fatal mistake.
Orelus gaule used his legs against the ground, and pushed backwards to jump away and escape from the area of Mio's gravity magic. Failure — the worst possible word evoked thoughts of desperation in her mind.
…Ah….
But, Mio then saw Ayato's figure as he moved around to Chaos' back and used his right leg as a pivot to turn around, and swing Brynhildr horizontally.
"…"
"Uuuooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—!"
The instant that his blade was swung, Brynhildr unleashed a red wave. It was the same as before when he had almost crushed Leohart — the gravity wave had turned into a slash.
There was gravity magic that Mio had released from above, and the gravity wave that Ayato had unleashed horizontally. The clash of their two attacks caused the black hole that Mio generated to greatly distort, and the red torrents that flowed towards the dimensional hole immobilised Chaos as it tried to escape.
[—]
Even though it suffered blows of gravity both vertically and horizontally, Orleus still made every effort to move towards an area with less influence — it was struggling for its life. —However, the Demon Lord Leohart would not allow it. Before Chaos could act, Leohart poured all his strength into the magic circuit of Loki while in mid-air—
…So he anticipated this from the beginning huh.
When Leohart flew to this position at the timing that was decided in advance, he understood Basara's intentions. After cutting off Orelus' right arm — Basara's method of escape was to run from the area in front of Orelus to its back so that he would essentially swap front and rear positions. If he only wanted to evade Mio's gravity magic, there was no need to risk getting closer to Orelus; retreating backwards or to either the left or right sides would have been safer. Deliberately choosing to move behind Orelus was so that he could remain in position. If he retreated backwards or to the left or right side, he would increase his distance from Orelus — in that way, after having its right arm cut off, Chaos would have likely chased after Ayato in reflex. But — if Ayato deliberately closed their distance, Chaos would continue to attack in that position.
This action had indeed succeeded in trapping Chaos under the effect of Mio's gravity magic. He also unleashed another gravity wave from behind it, which impacted with Mio's gravity magic to spawn an even more powerful vortex of gravity, further limiting Chaos' means of escape, resulting in the most beneficial results. Despite the fact that this perfect implementation before his eyes had brought forth a slight feelings of astonishment, Leohart still fulfilled his own role without any hesitation.
"Slumber eternally in the Zero Dimenson , !"
Together with his yell, Ayato brought Brynhildr down. The green wave unleashed from the full-powered magic circuit of the demonic sword surged into the gravitational vortex of Mio and Stella, and moved straight towards Chaos and Gaule.
[—]
The ancient Demon God and The Puppet King that had awakened in this world was thus pushed into the centre of the black hole.
In the next instant — Mio's black hole twisted beyond the critical point, and instantly collapsed because it was unable to sustain the mass.
The swirling vortex of air and magic subsided, and the space also returned to normal. After the black hole that swallowed everything around it disappeared, all that was left on the ground was an empty crater. The figure of the Demon God Chaos had already disappeared without a trace. So—
"…"
Leohart slowly lowered Loki, and then dismissed it.
—This action represented that the battle had truly come to an end. At the same time, Ramsas supported the unconscious Mio Naruse in his arms. Ayato Kurozakuro moved forward steadily, and walked towards her.
(Few Days Later)
Georgia's arrival had had the boys cheering before shooting death glares at him when it was found out she was living with him and had accidentally used 'sama' around him.
School had finished a short while ago and currently Kiyome was sitting on one of the sofas, sipping a cup of tea before speaking "Rias-san, I have a favour to ask you. Will you allow me to borrow Ayato Kurozakuro-kun?"
Ayato raised an eyebrow in confusion as he turned to listen in, wondering what the tennis club captain and monster tamer wanted with him as Rias narrowed her eyes accusingly while answering "I feel like rejecting the favour when you are the one asking me, but I will still listen to what you have to say."
"The truth is, my father will be returning from his travels. I want Kurozakuro-kun to help me." Kiyome replied, Yukio looking at her as Akeno spoke
"Ara ara, bullying our Yukio-kun won't be allowed you know?"
"…This helping out might turn into a 'flag' for his death" Koneko added.
"You are thinking that you have to help someone in need, correct?" Asia asked curiously as Georgia added
"It must be something serious to require Ayato -sama's help"
"So what is this problem that requires Ayato's help?" Rias asked curiously, Kiyome taking a moment before answering
"My father is telling me to have a marriage meeting. I'm still a high school student. I told him that he is rushing it, but he won't listen to me….. My father is someone who makes sure he, "follows through", once he has made a decision."
"I see. Abe-senpai comes from a monster tamer household, with an ancient and honourable origin. So your parents decided to choose your groom immediately right?" Kiba spoke with a nod of his head in understanding as Ayato scowled. He had only crashed Rias' engagement because he knew Raiser wasn't any good for her and that she didn't like him but from the way they had acted Rias and Raiser had at least met a few times to attempt to get along in some regard.
"That's exactly right. To be expected from Kiba-kun." Kiyome answered with a nod as Xenovia spoke to Gasper who was in his box
"Gasper. She seems to be a monster tamer. Don't you think you are the most fitting to be her consultant, since you are a Vampire?"
"Hiiiiiii!" Gasper screamed from the box before adding
"I don't want tooooo~! I won't be of any uuuusssee~!"
Rias sighed as she asked "So you want Ayato to interfere in your marriage meeting or something?"
Kiyome nodded her head as she explained "Yes, I want Hosokawa-kun to act as my boyfriend. I have already informed my father that I have a boyfriend and that I don't want to have a marriage meeting. Then he told me, if that's the case, he is willing to cancel the marriage meeting, under certain conditions. I just need him for that day and…. Arara, I feel like I'm suddenly receiving hostility now."
Kiyome shuddered as all the girls in the room were glowering dangerously at her, Ayato scowl darkening as the girls spoke up
"Yukio-senpai as her boyfriend…?"
"That can't be, even I still haven't…"
"I won't allow it."
"Yeah, you are right."
"I still haven't had my chance…"
Koneko, Akeno, Xenovia, Asia and Georgia spoke in low scary tones while Rias put her hand on her mouth in thought, not looking angry as she spoke
"I'll accept it"
"I am not doing it…" Ayato spoke seriously making everyone look at him surprised as Rias started
"Ayato…" He continued speaking regardless as he focused his gaze on Kiyome
"Abe-sempai, I refuse to lie about a person's feeling and while you may not like having to go to a marriage meeting you should, at the very least, meet with the person that he feels would be right for you to see about it"
"Ayato, this is a contract…" Rias spoke as she looking seriously at him, Ayato frowning at her as he added
"The only reason I intervened with your engagement to Raiser was because I could tell he was douche, he didn't deserve you and you didn't like him…You had already met him before then I would assume there was plenty of chance for you two to get along or him to change. Abe-sempai is refusing to even give the marriage meeting and the person who they set it up with a chance so I see no reason to intervene to stop that"
With that Ayato used his Sonido before anyone could argue with him, disappearing as Rias sighed sadly as she spoke to Kiyome "I'll go talk to Ayato about this and see if I can't get him to change his mind."
…
Rias had rushed home after that and was currently heading towards Ayato's personal room. It had been something Sirzechs had insisted on being added so he could get away from the others on occasions. Silently cursing, she remembered that her mother and Grayfia had been the ones to bring Sirzechs around to the idea, both she-devils aware of Ayato's past from talking with Keiko and Kurono after the Ratings Game and yet hadn't told her about it. Rias could understand why Ayato didn't want to do Kiyome's request but it was just a contract which reminded her of her own previous trouble with Raiser as she spotted Keiko leaning against the wall blocking her way to the room.
"I can't believe that you, of all people, forgot about Asuka, Rias?" Rias' eyes widened as she felt the colour drain from her face at how she had forgotten the reason Ayato had trust issues in the first place. She tried to hurry past Keiko so she could talk to Ayato only to find Keiko step into her way as she spoke slightly angry
"Ayato doesn't want to see you now… so we are going to have a little talk"
"You can't stop me from talking to my servant" Rias countered only for Keiko to roll her eyes as she retort with a prod of her finger as her reiatsu started to rise
"Nii-kun has been my brother longer then he has been your servant, Rias, so don't try and claim seniority on him and remember you are still a guest in this house" Rias' eyes widened as she stepped back, Keiko crossing her arms as she spoke
"You know he doesn't like liars and even lying to people especially about feelings and relationships what do you think you were doing accepting that request from that monster tamer?"
"…It is just a request to stop a marriage meeting…" Rias started only for Keiko's hand to come up and stop her as she countered
"It was a request for Nii-kun to pose as that girl's boyfriend…The other girls were against it and given how possessive you are of him I would've expected the same from you"
"I…I just wanted to help Kiyome-san with getting her parents off her back…" Rias replied quietly with a sigh, Keiko's eyes softening slightly before she asked
"What would you have done to be free of Raiser if you didn't have Nii-kun in your peerage? You revived him for his powers didn't you?"
Rias stared at Keiko for a few moments deep in thought as Keiko continued "What would you have done if he had never made that wish? Would you have just let the world carry on and leave me to only find out when he was found by some innocent person? You had the choice to approach and talk to him before he was ever targeted and recruit him but you didn't why?"
Rias' shoulders slumped as she looked down, the barrage of questions leaving twinges of guilt in her heart over Ayato's recruitment into her peerage as she spoke barely audiable to Keiko "Yes…I did at the beginning revive him for his power. I-I don't know why…Without Ayato I would be stuck marrying that jerk… without Ayato I wouldn't have a little sister like Asia, Yuuto could have died trying to get revenge, Gasper getting killed by Magicians or lost Koneko to her sister…"
Rias looked up with tears swelling in her eyes as she added "Without Ayato I wouldn't be able to experience this love for him, even if he doesn't fully trust me, each time he lets me in just a little more I-I feel so happy…"
Keiko smiled softly at Rias' words, watching the redhead rub her eyes with her hands as she gave her a determined look as she continued "I didn't approach him before because I was scared of being refused… I don't have a way with words that Sona does when negotiating with potential servants so I was worried I'd slip up while explaining things to Ayato and lose what power I could sense from him. But when he summoned me as a dying wish I felt glad that that choice had been taken out of his hands and revived him right away…. I-If he hadn't then I would've continued without regret but I would've never felt this happy after he barged into the party fought Raiser for me"
"You do know about Asuka but she's just the last in a line of people who tried to take advantage of him… most had links to the supernatural world even if he didn't know it at the time. Even our Tou-san's family have tried to use him because he wasn't a true Shinigami and always took after Kaa-san's looks. What did you expect him to do when he found out he was going to be used by a monster tamer…did you even think beyond this contract or what'll happen when Ayato is introduced to the girl's parents?" Keiko asked seriously, noticing Rias' eyes were wide as she shook her head as she started
"You mean…"
"Yes…I suspect that given his power and the fact he's part dragon,Fallen Angel,and a descendant of Sparda it would only be a matter of time before her parents try and force them together like" Keiko explained, Rias scowling at the idea of Yukio marrying someone else as she replied
"I won't let that happen…Ayato is mine and I'll blast away anyone else who tries to use him for there own gains"
"Really…? What about yourself and Akeno…? Nii-kun told me you forced him into being a bargaining chip the first time he met this Kiyome and that was due to your own schoolwork not being done" Keiko asked, Rias looking nervously as Keiko added in a stern voice
"Oh and you should know that he doesn't fall for seduction easily, especially when the people doing it are trying to take advantage of him. So don't try it again unless you intent to follow through" Rias flushed bright red at Keiko's last comment, nodding nervously as she replied
"Alright…I never meant to use him against his will, Keiko-san so I'll find out all the details I can about this contract and talk to him about it" Keiko nodded in understanding as Rias disappeared in a transportation magic circle, smiling to herself as she thought
'Looks like you've passed Rias-neechan…for now'
…
Orihime smiled softly as she ran her hands through Ayato's hair as they both lay on a small bed that was in Ayato's personal room. Both were fully clothed as they listened to the music that played in the background and Orihime enjoyed learning more about her master's past as he smiled sadly with half lidded eyes as he spoke
"The amount of times I've tried to get accepted by Tou-san's family, I can't really remember the number now but I realised that they were just using me because I was a hybrid… Onee-san seemed to fit in more as she took after Tou-san while I took after Kaa-san. After my parents died, I thought I would be free from that but only found myself getting taken advantage of again and again by other people"
Ayato paused as he shifted slightly before resting his head back on Orihime's chest as he spooned against her side, making her blush darken as she spoke "Ayato-sama, not everyone is out to use you…Genshirou, Shinji, Daisuke,Roxanne and Irina are all your friends"
"I know that, Orihime-chan… it was just hard to believe back then but there was still people who wanted to try and take advantage of my kindness" Ayato replied softly, smiling at hearing her soothing heartbeat through the thin yellow tank top she was wearing as he added with a sigh
"I guess that was why Kaa-san kept us away from her family… especially if there were people who were like Katsu and Raiser amongst them."
"Ayato-nii, I need your help" Keiko called from outside, Ayato sighing to himself before kissing Orihime on the cheek as he spoke
"Thanks for listening"
"It's no problem, Ayato-sama" Opening the door he stepped out into the corridor, his eyes widening at seeing Rias sitting next to the door giving him a sad look as she jumped back to her feet as she opened her mouth to speak only for Ayato to interrupt her
"I understand you wanted to help Abe-sempai but you can't just accept contracts for me…We'll talk more once I get back" Ayato patted a hand on her shoulder as he moved past her, Orihime closing the door to his private room after leaving herself.
…
"Hyah!" Ayato called as he swung Rebellion to cleave the reptilian demon before him, part of him wondering how the small group had even got to the human world in the first place let alone picked Kuoh to attack.
{Looks like this group is taken care of} Sparda spoke up as Ayato set his sword on his back before taking the time to look around at his surroundings.
He was standing in the huge back garden of what looked to be a western style stately house, Ayato's eyes widening slightly in surprise at sensing Kiyome's aura inside the house as he scratched the back of his head in confusion
"Thank you for dealing with them Ayato-kun is it?" A mature female voice spoke up, Ayato turning to see a young woman who looked the split of Kiyome but had a much more developed figure then the third year had.
"Oh, I'm sorry for surprising you…I'm Kiyome's mother and I know your sister" She spoke slightly embarrassed as Ayato blinked surprised before replying
"No, no it's alright, Abe-san…I was just surprised someone could sneak up on me" Kiyome's mother giggled for a moment before smiling as she asked
"Would you like to come inside for something to drink…? It would be a shame not to reward you after you swiftly dealt with those demons"
"No thank you, Abe-san… I'll probably give the wrong impression to Abe-sempai if she sees me"
"I understand…" Kiyome's mother spoke with a disappointed look as she continued
"I wanted to explain about the young man my husband has arranged Kiyome's marriage meeting is arranged with…"
"I refused her cause she didn't know anything about the guy and I'm not planning to change that now, Abe-san" Ayato interrupted seriously, Kiyome's mother patting his shoulder as she continued
"…And I understand that but I fear that my husband has made a stupid mistake and he's too stubborn to change his mind. The young man is from a family of monster hunters who aim to force monsters to fight against each other." Yukio frowned at hearing that turning to give her his full attention as she continued
"They don't care if its half breed or if they're innocent but they still hunt them down with the monsters they own themselves…I fear what they would do to Kiyome when they find out about her true nature"
Yukio looked surprised at her as a pair of rabbit like ears appeared atop of her head, her arms from the elbows down gaining brown fur while her hands turned into large paws, a pure white cotton ball tail sat on her tailbone. Yukio realising what she meant as he asked "Wait…Abe-sempai is half were-rabbit?"
'How did I not notice this before' Ayato mentally asked himself, hearing a chuckle from his Hollow who replied
"You were being all emo when she was around before"
'I am not emo!' Ayato mentally shouted back annoyed, turning his attention to Kiyome's mother as he asked
"Wouldn't they be more accepting to her if they want a marriage meeting with her?"
"They sought the meeting because of Kiyome's empathetic ability with other monster and Yokai. It helps her understand what they want and gain there trust which would help them with controlling there own monsters" Kiyome's mother spoke as she shook her head, Ayato frowning as Sparda spoke up
{It seems like there's a good reason to step in now…}
[You could get an enjoyable reward from this as well] Ddraig added with a perverted tone before Sparda hit him again.
"I'll help…I can't let someone else go through something like I did" Ayato spoke with serious tone, Kiyome's mother smiling as she bowed to him
"Thank you Ayato-kun… You remind me of your mother in so many ways" Ayato scratched his neck embarrassed as he looked at her surprised
"You knew Kaa-san?" She nodded with a smile as she answered
"Hitomi saved me from a group of Orcs when I was younger and would keep an eye on me from time to time. We became friends through that… You know, from the moment I saw you, I knew you were her son and I know she'd be proud she's got such a fine young man as her son" Ayato blushed as he looked away, not sure what to say as he nodded and started to move away as he spoke
"Thank you… I should be going now"
…
"I'll do it" Ayato spoke calmly, Rias looking at him in surprise as they sat in the clubroom. He accepted a cup of tea from Georgia who sat down next to him as Rias replied
"I'm sorry for trying to force you into this before…I just wanted to help Kiyome out of the same situation that I was in" Rias frowned slightly as Georgia shuffled closing to Ayato before asking
"What changed your mind?" Ayato set his cup of tea onto the table before turning his attention to Georgia as he explained
"I talked with Abe-sempai's Kaa-san and she explained about the guy Abe-sempai was going to meet with… Turns out he's a monster hunter and thinks monsters and Yokai are below him, Abe-sempai would never be happy with someone like him"
Rias' confusion grew as Kiyome didn't know any of this from there talk, guesing that Kiyome didn't know any of that which was obvious to her now as she realised the monster tamer was against the whole marriage meeting from the start.
…
Ayato took a calming breathe as he stood in front of the Kiyome's home, reminding himself that it was to avoid Kiyome's gift being abused by that monster hunter family. He was touched that the rest of the ORC club had come along on his contract and that they were worried about him as he approached Kiyome's mother who was there to greet them with a smile which surprised the others till he explained about there previous meeting.
Kiyome's home was a giant western style house with a huge garden and stylish interior which Ayato felt would be a little lonely for Kiyome to live in without her parents around due to there monster tamer work.
Kiyome was guiding them through the house and towards another building that was connected to the main building which housed the indoor pool where everyone changed into swimsuits.
Rias and Akeno were wearing very revealing swimsuits while Georgia and Orihime were wearing more normal looking bikinis. Xenovia was wearing a swimsuit used by athletic swimmers while Asia and Koneko were wearing cute looking swimsuits which had frills.
"Thank you. I will do my best!" Ayato replied, Rias stroking his cheek as she spoke
"Yes, to be expected from my lovely Ayato." She smiled intensified as she added
"You can't show improper intentions towards Abe Kiyome-san."
"Buchou can tolerate, to a certain degree, the girls around her, but did you know she's very strict with other people? Cheating on her won't be good." Akeno whispered into Ayato's ear, Rias looking embarrassed as she replied
"Akeno, I can hear you."
"Ara ara, so scary." Akeno replied, hugging Ayato blushing.
Rias started to strip of her swimsuit and revealing her nakedness in front of everyone and started to Fuck Ayato right in front of them.
"YES~! Hhhaaahhh~!" Rias reared her head back and wailed loudly on top of Ayato. Sweat dripping off her creamy, smooth body as the Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess bounced up and down on Ayato's cock with lust and passion. Her breasts jingling wildly with her movement. Kenny adored a sight while lying on his back while holding her hips and plunged his cock into her honeypot.
The training that Ayato went through not only improved his combat capabilities but also his stamina and sexual performance. Something that Rias could most definitely tell.
Rias' face had a fuck-silly expression. With her tongue out, eyes rolled all the way back, and her lips forming a happy smile as Ayato hammered her cunt into submission. The crimson-haired woman brought herself down to kiss Ayato passionately. Their tongues wrestling and saliva being traded. Ayato's left hand traveled down to Rias' large ass check and grabbed it hard while his right hand grasped her left breast. This caused Rias to break the kiss and continue screaming and moaning like an animal in heat.
"Hurry up and fuck me like a dragon! Slam my pussy! Harder! Make me your slut!" Rias screamed as he sucked on her right breast.
Well, if that's what she wanted, then her Pawn was more than happy to oblige. The excitement on Rias's face vanished when he stopped fucking her and started changing their potions. Now he was on his knees behind her as she was on her hands and knees. He placed a hand on her buttcheeks, making her squirm before letting out an aroused gasp when Ayato teased her by rubbing the tip of his cock against her pussy's mouth.
Ayato nodded and slowly began to move his hips at a steady pace, sliding his member in and out of Rias' pussy. He could feel his cock penetrating the deepest parts of his girlfriend's moist inner walls, as she tightened around him.
Rias let out loud lewd moans as she closed her eyes. With the pain gone, all the redhead could feel was pure, amazing pleasure. The moans grew louder as she felt his cock went deeper into her wet pussy. "It's so good! You're so big, I love it!"
"You're…so warm…and tight as always!"Ayato moaned, continuing to go at the same speed. He wanted to be gentle with her, but the instincts that came with having a dragon and hollow in him was telling him to pound her ruthlessly.
But she wanted him to do just that. "Give me more! Fuck me harder, Ayato!" Rias cried out. "Faster! Deeper!"
And with that request, Kenny gave into his desires and instincts. Ayato adjusted himself, and started pounder pounding into her harder and with greater speed. This caused Rias to start screaming to pleasure and she gasped for breaths of air, as her eyes snapped wide open and her tongue to hang out.
Just seeing her beautiful face like and hearing her moans and screams brought a smirk to Ayato's face.
Moaning as he fucked Rias even more, Ayato looked down and watched her breast bouncing violently up and down the more he thrust in and out of her. He buried his face into her chest, caressing her breast and sucking on her nipples. And then suddenly, Ayato's cock hits her G-spot, and Rias completely lost it.
"YES!" Rias shouted, bucking her hips with him. "Yes, that's it! Fuck me harder there! Turn me into slutty whore, my love in front of Everyone!"
Ayato never would have thought that he would hear Rias say something like that. She sounded completely consumed with lust and love. But it made her all the more sexy. Motivated to continuing hearing her sounds of pleasure and to feel more of her hot, wet pussy, Ayato thrust deeper into her, making the pool scene rock even more than before. He could feel his cock's tip hitting against her womb's entrance.
He never stopped thrusting into her. Ayato used his strength and speed to bring Rias to arousing pleasures she's never felt before. Barely thinking straight, she pulled him down until their bodies were pressed against each other. Ayato and Rias then pulled into a deep, passionate make-out session. Rias moaned louder in his mouth, as his cock jetted in and out of the deepest parts of her pussy. Ayato moaned too, as her pussy hugged and squeezed his hard member, as he fucked her with all his might.
Their hips were synchronized, while their hands roamed and caressed every inch of their bodies. Rias grabbed onto his back, with her hands clawing into him as she held on for dear life. Ayato's hands would go from her legs, hips, sides, and breasts. Feeling her soft, lustful body. He slammed into her over and over again.
Ayato pulled away from the kiss when he felt he his climax coming, making his cock start to swell inside her pussy. "R-Rias," he groaned, never letting up on his thrusts. "I'm gonna cum!"
"Do it in me! Shoot all of it in me!" Rias shouted her plead in uncontrollable lust. "Keep fucking me! I want you to fill me up! I want it so bad! Make me Yours in front of Everyone, Ayato!"
Grabbing her springing tits with his hands, Ayato fondled them with her nipples between his fingers. He knew they were her most sensitive part. It drove her just as mad as it did when he kissed her. And noticing Rias' ahegao face, Ayato reached for her face and turned her head to face him before pressing his lips against hers. The pure-blooded Devil melted into the kiss as her hybrid dominated her mouth and body.
Ayato, nearing the end, gathered all of his energy for the final act. "Rias!" Ayato yelled out. Pulling her arms back and drove his cock deeper into her womb before releasing his final load.
"AAAYAATTOO!" Rias screamed. Her vision turned white when the best orgasm that day hit her. The redhead's womanhood clamping down as hard as it could on Ayato's cock, bursting out the last of her love juices on his lap. Just like all the creampies she had, the hot cum filled her up beyond the brim. Both of their cum leaked out and spilled onto the Sheet.
When Ayato finally finished shooting the last of his spunk into her, he released her wrists. Exiting out of her as Rias fell on the cum stain-covered sheet.
LEMON ENDS
At the pool Asia, Xenovia and Kiba were playing with a ball while Koneko and Gasper were floating while relaxing in swimming rings
"Now then, I'm going to get ready to welcome my father." Kiyome spoke as she headed to go meet her father.
…
The sky was covered in dark clouds as the ORC went out into the garden after changing back into there regular clothes and were currently waiting for Kiyome's father as her mother spoke to Ayato "I'm sure you'll do fine, Ayato-kun"
"Thanks Abe-san…" Ayato replied before hearing the sound of a horse approaching from the gates, his eyes widening at seeing the large built man with a stern look enter riding on a large wagon. He was wearing a cape and a helm which had a horn on it and his eyes were glowing sharply as he spoke to Ayato in a thick tone
"So you are the insolent one dating my daughter?"
Kiyome put her arm around Yukio's as she answered "That's right, Otou-sama. He is my boyfriend, Sparda Kurozakuro Ayato-kun."
Ayato sighed as he felt the pressure coming from Rias, who was wrapped in a red aura as she smiled, turning to give her a flat look which said 'What did you expect to happen?'. Rias' pressure disappeared as she dropped her head realising that she should've expected this to happen.
"Hosokawa…?" Kiyome's father spoke surprised, sparing a glance to his wife who nodded as she spoke
"Yes…He's the son of the Kurozakuro Hitomi" Numerous surprised looks came from the other devils, Ayato scratching his neck sheepishly as Kiyome looked surprised at him as well as she remembered some of the stories her mother had told her.
"Interesting, I see the resemblance… But still I will test you myself to see whether or not you are fitting to become a groom for the Abe family" Kiyome's father spoke as he got down without breaking his gaze from Ayato's, even as lightning flashed in the background.
The group had moved to a large rectangular battlefield which was created by making lines in the garden.
"The one I will be sending first is this one. Come out!" Kiyome's father spoke as a young woman much like Christie came out, although she was much larger then the Yuki-onna and had scars over her body
"Abe-sempai, that Christie's older sister right?" Ayato asked, breaking Kiyome from her musing as she answered clearly
"That's right. That is Christie's older sister, Stephanie."
"The referee will be me, Kiba Yuuto." Kiba spoke as she stood at the centre of the field, making the two combatants enter the battlefield while Ayato and Kiyome's father stood at the edge of the field on opposite sides
"Begin!" Kiba called, Kiyome's father quick to call out
"Stephanie! First do the drumming!"
"Hai~" She stated as she started to hit her chest at the order.
"The Yuki-onna's drumming has the ability to increase its attack power!" Kiyome's father explained, Ayato nodding in understanding as he called out
"Then we will also do the drumming Christie!" Christie suddenly started to run across the field, Ayato confused at what Christie was doing as Koneko muttered
"That is…Yuki-onna's special technique, the snow-clone."
Ayato blinked in surprise as Christie multipled till there was dozens of her, realising that it was the snow-clone technique at work as Akeno asked Koneko
"Did you know that, Koneko-chan?"
"….It's a high level secret technique, which can only be attained by Yuki-onna that live in the Japanese Alps. They say clones can make different movements to that of the original self, once mastered."
"Ngh! You are quite good! To do the snow-cloning while giving the order to do a drumming!" Kiyome's father groaned, Ayato realising that he was misreading the situation as the bulky man called
"Stephanie, we can't lose either! Counter it with the "Freezing Beat-to-Death Stick"!
Stephanie started to rummage around the bag on her back before pulling out a giant banana, throwing it up into the air before freezing it with her breath as Ayato noticed Christie staring at the frozen banana as she jumped towards it with all her clones
"Christie don't!" Yukio called, her clones disappearing as she focused on the banana before Stephanie tackled her head on and flung her out of the field, landing violently on the ground.
"…..To attack by using the frozen banana as bait, which is the favourite food for Yuki-onna, to make its attention go there… Normal Yuki-onna wouldn't be able to resist and eat the banana on the spot. But it used that as an item… The opponent Yuki-onna who can overcome its greed towards the banana has been trained very well….." Koneko explained like a commentator, Ayato sighing in defeat as he heard Arata mutter annoyed
"I can't believe that girl expected you to win with such a weakling…"
Christie made no move to get up from where she lay, Kiba giving her another moment before declaring "The winner, Stephanie! So the winner of the first match is Abe-senpai's father."
"Fufufu. Absurd. I won't be able to permit you dating my daughter at this rate." Kiyome's father spoke with a fearless smile as Ayato muttered
"This would be different if I was fighting them…"
"The next match will be the sea monster battle. So that pool is going to be the stage huh. Now, I shall show all of you my monster." Kiyome's father called; a flash of lightning in the air before a shark with human legs appeared.
Ayato blinked as the shark monster made no sign of movement before Kiyome's father, who was still on his horse, moved to touch it, making the shark monster drop on its side as Ayato thought
'I guess it was out of water for too long'
"Ah, since it's a shark it would die if it doesn't continue to swim." Kiyome's father spoke with realisation, Kiyome face palming where she stood as Kiba approached it to check on its status. A few minutes passed before he shook his head and declared
"The winner of the second match is Ayato-kun."
Ayato felt bad when he realised that Estleena had died from dehydration from waiting at the poolside without anyone knowing.
…
Ayato mentally sighed as he stood opposite Kiyome's father atop of a mountain which they had all teleported to so they could have the air battle without anyone seeing. Large rocks littered the field they were standing on as Kiyome's father spoke "Both of us will do the sky battle while riding on top of the monsters. Alright?"
He was sitting on his horse which was atop of a large mysterious looking bird which roared threateningly "Gyaaaaaaaon!"
Ayato looked down to Takahashi who he was piggybacking for the fight which looked totally inadequate given the birdman would have to fight as well.
"Fufufu, boy. It's good weather. This wind, this feeling on my skin is definitely the one for a battle." Takahashi spoke, Ayato arching an eyebrow as he asked
"Why do you have such high tension…? Let's just get this over with"
"You can say that I'm like a 'weather vane' right now!" Takahashi replied, Ayato frowning confused as he turned his gaze back onto Kiyome's father as Kiba appeared between them and shouted
"Final match! Please begin!"
The ominous bird took to the air with a big flap of its wings, Ayato surprised at how fast it was as he spoke "Takahashi-san, we also need to-"
"Uoooooooooooooo!" Takahashi called as he started to run on the ground, ignoring Yukio as he asked
"He….hey Takahashi-san!? Why are you running so speedily!? You are a bird man aren't you!? You won't be able to do a sky battle if you don't fly!"
"Fu. I'm a bird man, but a Nagoya-kochin bird man. We basically can't fly!" Takahashi declared boldly, Ayato's face dropping as he asked shocked
"You can't fly? Wait, Nagoya-kochin!? Didn't you come from Kobe!?"
"Kobe is also a large place after all!" The birdman replied, Ayato's eyebrow twitching in anger as he asked
"What the hell!? Are the settings of your background all made up!? Also it's a fraud that you can't fly even though your name is Sky!"
"It's not a fraud! It's Nagoya-kochin!" Takahashi shouted back,Arata quick to speak up
"Roast the bird bastard…He's no use to us!"
[I agree] Ddraig added with a nod, Sparda swatting at both of them as he spoke annoyed
{Shut up both of you, he's trying to concentrate}
"You have your guard down!" Kiyome's father called, the giant bird rushing towards Ayato as Takahashi called
"Oh!" The birdman dodged swiftly the giant bird's attacks as Kiyome's father spoke
"You are doing well! But it still isn't enough!" The man then gave an order to his bird, who then opened its beak wide and shot a giant fireball from its mouth
"If we get hit by that, I will actually become a yakitori, hahahaha!" Takahashi laughed, Ayato shouting back
"What are you laughing at? You will die if you're hit by that so run!" Takahashi shot off into a run, dodging the fireball that was coming towards them, both of them hiding behind a large rock.
Ayato looked out from behind the rock, seeing Kiyome's father and the giant bird looking around for them as he took a sigh as he tried to think of a plan so they could win. Looking at Takahashi, who was regaining his breathe, Ayato scratched his head in frustration as Takahashi spoke "You have to be calm at times like this. There is a saying in my family. They say that if you take three steps forward and two steps back, you will have a clearer mind… Wait, what was I doing again? Where is this place? Who are you? You look like my relative Yoshida-san. Are you Yoshida-san?"
"What the hell happened to your memories? Also who is Yoshida!? Does he look like me!? Do I look like a Nagoya-kochin!? Geez! I also don't get what I'm saying any more! It feels like I will have bad memories about Nagoya-kochin now!" Ayato shouted annoyed at Takahashi, dropping his head in defeat as he sighed
"By the way Yoshida-san, where is this place?" Takahashi asked while looking around, Ayato raising his head as he felt a familiar aura before a smile grew on his face as he spotted the box
"Gasper-kun… Why are you here?" He asked, opening the box to see the crossdressing vanpire
"…H-Hello. I was sent here. B-Buchou said she wants me to help Ayato-senpai who is in danger…"
'Thank you Rias-sama' Ayato thought to himself, taking a moment to think as he spoke
"Gasper-kun, I need your help…"
"I-I'm not really sure what is going on, but I will do my best~." Gasper spoke while panicking as Ayato started to explain his plan to the boy, noticing a letter attached to the box as he quickly read it
.
[Do your best. I believe that you will win. To our lovely Ayato]
Taking a deep breathe, Ayato started to put the pieces together for his plan as he spoke "Takahashi-san! Wave your hands at that ominous bird after leaving this rock."
"I don't really get it, but there is no reason for me to decline Yoshida-san's request. Heeey!" Takahashi replied, doing as he was asked as Ayato picked up the boxed Gasper. A grin starting to spread on his face at the giant bird noticing them and charging
"Gasper-kun, that's your target! Freeze it!" Ayato called pointing the box at the bird as Gasper stuttered out
"Y-Yesssssssss~!" A red light shot from the box and hit the giant bird that Kiyome's father was sat atop of, freezing its movement before both of them fell from the sky. Ayato looking confused as he guessed Gasper's power was evolving on its own, quickly using his Sonido to get himself, Gasper and Takahashi out of the way of the falling pair which left a large crater into the ground.
…
"It is my loss. Looks like I'll have to permit your relationship with my daughter… I will cancel the engagement… I was worried about that family after what my wife found out" Kiyome's father spoke with a smirk, Ayato scratching his head sheepishly as the bulky man added
"I'm glad you found Kurozakuro-kun, Kiyome… His parents were good people and friends including His Dead Father. From what I've seen of him he takes after them a lot" Kiyome blushed as she nodded and regarded Ayato with an shy look.
"It was nice to meet you both, Abe-san…Thank you for the picture" Ayato spoke with a nod, Kiyome's parents smiling as they watched him slip the old photograph into his pocket after looking at it with a small smile.
"It was fun today. I want to meet you again on the battlefield, Yoshii-san." Takahashi spoke with a handshake, Ayato sweatdropping as he replied
"Alright…I will see you then, just remember my name is Ayato next time"
"Kurozakuro-kun thank you for today, thanks to you, the engagement was cancelled…"
"No, I'm glad I was able to help you... Plus it was for a good cause" Ayato replied with a smile, Kiyome turning shy as she spoke
"Even if it was a sudden request and you rejected it to begin with, I was really happy that you fought very seriously for m-my sake." She wriggled where she stood in embarrassment as she added
"You looked a bi-bit amazing when you fought together with Takahashi and the others…" Ayato blushed slightly as he shrugged his shoulders as he replied
"They did most of the work…"
"If it's okay with you, how about tonight we go for dinn-" Kiyome started, Ayato noticing a flash of crimson out of the corner of his eye as he muttered
"Rias-sama…" Rias clutched at his arm possessively, Ayato mentally sighing as he replied to Kiyome
"Maybe another time Abe-sempai…" Rias' face fell as Kiyome's brightened slightly as she nodded, pushing a piece of paper into Ayato's hand as she asked
"Call me when so we can arrange it" Kiyome's face reddened as Ayato bowed to her before she nodded and left, Ayato turning to Rias as he spoke
"Thank you for the help Rias-sama" Rias smiled to him as she replied
"I see. Looks like you accomplished the request safely… But you didn't tell me your parents knew the Abe Clan?"
"I didn't know till I spoke with Abe-san and found out about Abe-sempai's marriage meeting" Ayato replied, looking confused as he asked
"Where is everyone?"
"Everyone went home at once, to take the prize received from Kiyome-san's request. Items related to different types of monsters, which they would be taking back to the clubroom….There's some information of Tiamat amongst it if you want to have a look later" Rias answered, Ayato feeling Ddraig's presence shrink away at the mention of the other Dragon King as Rias continued
"Now, let's go home together. Let's buy some taiyaki on the way back so we can eat it with everyone. Fufufu, looks like it will be a date to the taiyaki shop." Ayato nodded as they started to walk home, Rias muttering quietly
"…I feel the happiest when I'm like this."
"Did you say something?" Ayato asked, Rias winking cutely as she answered
"It's a secret~…Can I have a look at that photo of your parents?" Ayato's smile grew as he pulled the picture out, handing it to Rias who smiled cutely as she look the couple in the picture.
Both appeared to be in there twenties, the man wore a black kimono and had a mess of spiky long sliver hair and bright blue eyes. A warm smile was on his face while his right arm was wrapped around the shorter young woman's waist. She had chest length straight silver hair, warm blue eyes with a caring smile and wore a pair of jeans and a short sleeved white blouse with a voluptuous body.
"Otou-sama, Okaa-sama..." Rias whispered to herself as she looked at the picture, her cheeks reddening as Ayato's arm slipped around her waist as they continued walking.
