High School DxD - DX2 - Worship☆Dragon-God Girl, page 8
“……………………..”
This time, the Hero’s spirit seems to be totally sucked out of his body. He was drooling all over the place and his eyes were also flipped. He was so broken that he didn’t even give us a reaction when I slapped his cheeks. Well, he did fight against those four for half an hour so I think you’ve fought well even if they were going easy on him. Even then, for a kid from primary school to fight this well, it’s very impressive. As expected from a kid that came from the family that handles Spirit Swords.
The only enemy left is the Dragon King, our final boss but…. Isn’t it safe to say that The Rite of Passage, requested by the kid to fight against the mystical being, was already achieved successfully?
Even then, since we got all the way here, we should see the face of the final boss at least once.
After climbing all the way to the top, we arrived in front of a lavishly decorated throne.
The person who was sitting on the throne had a scary-looking armour…. Saji?! Saji, no, the Dragon King, saw us and stood up while starting to laugh.
“Hahahahaha! I am the Dragon King of Darkness Vritra! Hahahahaha!”
Oh ho, he’s quite excited I see. But Saji as a final boss huh. The Dragon King of Darkness Vritra…
“Heroes! You have managed to arrive here! But for you do defeat me is….” When he was shouting out his lines, he took a closer look at our team… more specifically, our Wizard, he was so surprised that it seemed like his eyes were popping out.
“….W-W-Wait a second! What is Serafall-sama doing here?!”
“Hey~☆ Saji-kun, it’s been awhile~♪ I came here as a Wizard today~☆”
“And this Clown/substitute hero is Sirzech-sama.”
I roughly informed him. Clown Satan Red also pointed his finger towards the Dragon King, Saji and said in a joyful voice.
“You evil Dragon King! We came here to defeat you!”
When he heard that, Saji was terrified.
“WHHHHHHHHAAAAATTTTTT?! W-Wait! This is different from what I heard from Azazel-sensei?! It’s completely different?! This is totally a game that’s impossible to clear! It is totally impossible for me to clear this game!”
Yes, this is an impossible game! If I was facing the two maous, I would have said that as well. But Satan Red and Levi-tan was full of excitement.
“Since our Hero has fallen, it’s up to me, Wizard and Priestess, the three of us to defeat the Dragon King! Isn’t that right? Levi-tan!”
“Of course, Satan Red! Let’s get revenge for our Hero! Prepare yourself, Dragon King!”
The two of them went into a battle stance against the Dragon King with a serious look! Seeing that, Saji, who was about to burst into tears, made up his mind and set out his dark flames combined with gigantic snakes as if he had nothing to lose.
“SHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIT! I know that stopping Serafall-sama at this point is impossible! Since it came to this, let’s do my best until I die!”
Using the Vritra Promotion, Saji turned into a giant dragon! The two maous charged towards Saji who turned into a dragon!
As soon as the battle between the Dragon King and the two Maous started out of nowhere, the tower is being destroyed like it’s nothing. Carrying our Hero, Asia and I escaped from the tower! This is no joke! I’m going to escape!
5 minutes later… inside the demolished tower blocks, Saji was lying there motionless.
“We won! We have won!”
“We have defeated the Dragon King!”
The two maous were grabbing each other’s hand and even dared to celebrate their victory. Of course you guys were going to win. Rest in peace, Saji…
“”What is going on here?””
Out of nowhere, we heard other voices. When we turned our head towards the source of those voices, Sona-kaichou and Grayfia-san are standing there! Both look like they are furious! Seeing them, the two maous also trembled!
“T-This is. Azazel asked if I want to try this game…”
“T-That’s right, Sona! This is an important job making a boy into a Hero!”
Both of them started spewing excuses but, Kaichou and [Ultimate Queen] aren’t going to listen to that… In the end, the maous are dragged back via their ears.
“I will hear the detail back at the Castle. Ignoring your job and playing around in a game, I can’t forgive you this time.”
“Onee-sama. Let’s have a serious talk about your future today shall we.”
The teleportation circles have appeared and the two maous have been taken back by their family. So the weak point of the so-called ultimate beings in the universe is their family! Hmm, both Sona-kaichou and Grayfia-san are scary when they are mad…
Also, there have been progress at the control room where the voice from above came. We heard another angry voice besides sensei.
[Azazel, what are you doing in a place like this?]
[Welp! Shemhazai! What is the Vice Governor General doing here?!]
[That’s my line! I have not heard a single word that you were making such a game! Have you used the Grigori funds yet again?! Suspicious robot, useless UFO and now, this weird game… why do you always make something stupid like this!]
It seems like sensei is also getting escorted off by his subordinate. Also, you made this in secret?! Well, I knew it!
After that, since the game finished, we exited the field.
We learned after the incident, that [Azazel Quest] is still being developed but sensei has been expelled from this project and someone else from Grigory filled the position. This game is developed for humans with special abilities who want to fight against mystical beings.
By the way, the person who told kaichou, Grayfia-san and Shamaizai-san all of this was Buchou. She was observing this in secret and as events unfolded and she learned more of this, she contacted the appropriate people.
Our client, Hoderi Yuukihiko, have experienced fear from this but seems like he had fun by saying things like [Thank you very much! I will have going into this field of work as my goal!]
Although he lost, it seems like he developed profound interest in the world of supernatural beings.…. Since he’s able to think in this way after fighting such strong foes, his future seems very bright.
Also, I was basically a side character this whole time! I don’t know if I’ve lost or gained anything! Ah, I’m so exhausted. When I get involved with either sensei or Sirzech-sama, something so stupid always happen to me!
“Oi, Ise! I’m now making a game in which you hunt monsters with weapons. The opponents are the Dragon King and the Former Dragon King as well as the Heavenly Dragon! Please be an enemy this time!”
Sensei seems like he’s making something stupid again! You, how much hardship are you going to put the Legendary Dragons through?! Cut it out!
Life 4: Worship☆Dragon-God-Girl
Part 1
One afternoon during the weekend, everyone (all the girls living in my house) was in my room playing the Underworld version of Game of Life.
Irina suddenly opened her mouth and said.
“By the way, shouldn’t we have some kind of Temple or Shrine for Ophis-san? She is a Dragon God.”
…like that.
Temple, shrine…?
That’s right. Ophis is known as the Ouroboros Dragon. Well, [Former].
Koneko said while rotating the roulette.
“……Dragons have always been worshipped as gods and is a symbol of power. Even average dragons are more powerful compared to most monsters, so normally they are worshipped as [Dragon God].”
I’ve also heard that from Rias and Sensei.
In both the Eastern and Western world, Dragons have always been kind of the symbolisation of power and from a human or another being’s perspective, they were considered to be threatening beings. So in occasions, dragons are considered to be marvellous beings that can be comparable to Gods.
I have encountered from High class Dragons to Legendary Dragons and they were all terrifying.
Normal humans or Low Class Devils have trouble fighting against a dragon. Well, since an average dragon is that strong, it’s not strange that they are being worshipped as a god in different parts of the world.
After Koneko, Akeno-san continued the explanation.
“Even for dragons, the strongest and most noble are [Kings of Dragon], Dragon Kings. Beings that are even greater than [Kings] are [God of Dragons]”
[Kings] specify the Five Great Dragon Kings. [God] specifies this Infinite Dragon-God Ophis over there and True Red Dragon God Emperor specifies the Great Red. If I think about it, both have [God] in their name. Well, the Great Red can also be called [Dragon of Dragon], [True Dragon] or [Apocalypse Dragon].
But Noble…beings huh. I glanced at Ophis.
“Hm?”
The Loli Dragon God-sama noticed my gaze and tilted her head with a question mark on top of her head…
I know that Ophis is special and is a very strong dragon but…
Apart from my trusted partner, Ddraig, and Ddraig’s rival, Albion, the only dragon that I look up to is the Former Dragon King, old man Tannin…
The other Dragon Kings I know are the Sloth Dragon King, a Dragon King that gives out deadly curse and a wild and violent Dragon King…but there is no Noble Dragon King! Just the fact that old man Tannin, who gave up being a Dragon King but still acts a lot like a Dragon King, makes me suspicious at the criteria required to become a Dragon King!
“As a reference, since they are more powerful than a Dragon King but not as much as a Dragon God, the Red and White Dragon Emperor becomes the [Two Heavenly Dragons]” Ravel gave extra information.
Oh, so there was that kind of story behind the Two Heavenly Dragons.
Rias, who is sitting beside me, sipped from her cup and asked Ophis.
“Although building a Temple is a bit too much considering our position, if it’s only a small shrine… Hey Ophis, would you like a shrine?”
When Rias asked, our loli Dragon God sama tilted her head from side to side. She makes that cute movement when she’s deep in thought. As always her expressions are blank but it’s very cute nonetheless!
Seeing her reaction, Rias smiled and nodded her head.
“Seeing Ophis who normally would straight up say no when she doesn’t like things to be deep in thoughts, it seems like she’s also interested. It is good timing also since we are currently being consulted on a certain matter. Let’s ask them about this as well.”
I didn’t understand what Rias was talking about at that moment but…
Having decided that we should end this conversation here, we went back to the Underworld Game of Life.
And then…
Our next holiday.
To greet the guest that is coming today, we have been assembled in the teleportation room underneath our house (Kiba and Gasper have also come.)
I’m guessing it is the person involved in that [certain matter] Rias has mentioned before…
When I heard the person’s name from Rias for the first time, I was so shocked. For that person to be that girl…
When I was thinking that, the magic circle shine and there was a red torii! [10]
Oh! A Torii! That just came out of the magic circle! Wait, this Torii is familiar to me! Yes, this is from Kyoto…
With the light coming out from the magic circle, the space in the middle of Torii has warped in. At that same time, multiple wisps of smoke appeared. Ah, it’s the same as before.
As I was thinking that, a person appeared from Torii was…
“It has been awhile! Daughter of Yasaka, Kunou has arrived!”
The person who came out of the Torii energetically was wearing a miko outfit and had blond hair. It was Kunou!
Seeing this kid with her pointed animal ears standing up and her soft tails shaking around, it is so cute.
Kunou is a Yokai princess that we were indebted to when second year students of Khou Academy including me went to Kyoto for a school trip. Her mother is the leader of the Kyoto Yokai and is a nine tailed fox… Yasaka-san! Since she’s a real beauty and also has huge breasts, I remember her clearly!
Kunou also brought along fox eared shrine maidens that attend to her. They are most likely fox youkai onee-samas who we’ve met before. Ah, fox onee-samas are also great!
I say to our little princess.
“Welcome, Kunou. It’s rude of us to let you stand here and talk so shall we go up?”
“Hmm! Then please excuse me for intruding!”
Her reply is very energetic.
After that, we lead Kunou and her female attendees to the Hyoudou residence VIP room. When we arrived there, BANG! The Fox Youkai onee-samas bowed to Kunou and us and disappeared from the room, leaving behind a smoke trail.
The person who’s got business here today is Kunou.
Rias, with a smile on her face, greeted Kunou.
“It is nice to meet you. I’m Rias Gremory. I heard that my servants have been indebted to you back in Kyoto.”
Ah, if I remember correctly, this is the first time that Rias and Kunou are meeting together. Actually, not only Rias but it’s also the first time meeting her for Akeno-san, first year Koneko, Gasper and Ravel.
When Rias gave her greeting, Kunou politely bowed her head and replied.
“No, it is my pleasure to meet you. I am called Kunou, I’ll be in your care from now on.”
After greeting her, she stared at Rias’s face and her body.
Realising her gaze, Rias checked around her to see if there was something wrong with her appearance but…
Kunou suddenly said in an excited voice.
“Oh ho, as according to the rumours, you’re such a beautiful person! As expected of the Legal Wife!”
Well, Rias sure is beautiful, she’s my proud Master!
Rias, hearing what Kunou said, seems like she’s a bit flustered.
“I do appreciate your thoughts but, L-Legal Wife…?”
It seems like she’s flustered with what Kunou have called her.
Kunou nodded her head and continued.
“Yes! I heard that you are Ise’s master and his lover! So to me, you are the Legal Wife! My mother also said that I need to serve the legal wife well in order to have the Heavenly Dragon’s babies….” As soon as Kunou have said that loudly, the fox youkai onee-samas reappeared and blocked our little princess’s mouth.
“Kunou-sama, it’s still too early to say such things!”
“It’s good to leave good first impressions first! If a relationship between the legal wife as well as his mistresses aren’t good, [Kyoto – Heavenly Dragon Descendant Plan] will be broken into pieces!”
Kunou is constantly nodding her head while her mouth is still covered.
…. When we stare at them with a suspicious gaze, they just laughed like [Hohohoho] and was intentionally vague about it. They disappeared again afterwards.
W-What is that [Kyoto – Heavenly Dragon Descendent Plan]…… does Kyoto Youkais want something from me…? Not only that but Legal wife and my mistress….
Xenovia pointed at herself and asked Irina.
“…I don’t know about Asia but I’m also part of his mistresses. Right?”
“For now, we need to just be good to Rias-san”
It seems like those two have some thought after hearing Kunou’s words
Both Ravel and Koneko are whispering to each other.
“…Koneko, what is the ranking currently?”
“…Even when we aren’t talking about top spots, there are people who we don’t even know if they are going to take part or not so it’s a complicated situation. Not only that, it seems like that kid is also….”
….what is this. The girls are ignoring me and are just talking to themselves…
F-Fine, let’s leave the topic for now. Anyway, it seems like after parting with us at Kyoto, Kunou kept pestering other people as she wants to come and see us. But since Kunou is a princess of the Kyoto Youkais, she can’t just come here on her whim.
Yasaka-san and the Youkai around her were perplexed on what to do with her and so, it seems like they ended up contacting Rias…
Anyway, it seems like Kunou didn’t just come here to play, but rather, she has an objective.
After mentally preparing herself, Kunou puffed her chest up and proudly proclaimed.
“You guys are building a Shrine for a Dragon? But I heard that since you guys are Devils, you guys don’t know how to do so! But don’t you guys worry now! The Nine-tail fox…Yasaka’s daughter is here! I will teach you from the basics!”
Building the shrine…… that’s Kunou’s [Objective] for coming here, and also a decision that both Rias and Yasaka-san have decided upon in the end. It’s a nice idea that solves both [Ohpis’s shrine] problem that came up as a topic before and [Kunou being childish] problem for Yasaka-san.
Kunou looked around us and saw Ophis.
“Hmm. Beside from Ise, the only other person I can sense a Dragon’s aura is from that lady… You are also a Dragon right?”
Ophis tilted her head and went into [?] mode. At the same time, it’s going to be a problem if she says [I Ophis] to her.
To the outsiders, our Infinite Dragon-sama isn’t supposed to be here. Since the situation is like this, she needs to be careful of her surroundings.
Before Ophis say anything stupid, I quickly gave an explanation to Kunou.
“Y-Yes! She is O....... no, a Dragon called Phis. For one reason to another, she’s doing home stay in my house! Since she’s a decedent of a famous Dragon, we were talking about whether we should build a shrine for her… something like that.”
I just blurted out whatever came into my head!
“Oh ho. You are saying that by building a shrine, you want to worship this dragon, called Phis, as a [Dragon God]!”
Ah, Kunou just believed whatever I just said without any suspicion. That’s a relief.
“I thought we are building a shrine for Ise but… well, it’s okay! But where are you guys going to build it?”
