Bonus Life 1. Sengoku?Bra
This incident happened when I went out shopping before the club activities started.
“As I thought, I prefer this one where she's posing with a kimono out of shape.”
“No, no, it's hard to throw away this ultra-mini length nurse's uniform!”
I was looking for lewd books in the magazine section of a convenience store when I came across a male student from another school. We picked up the same magazine and started reading it at the same speed, making erotic faces at the same places, so we became aware of each other and eventually started to talk about erotic things.
“Uhoho! After all, bloomers are an eternal gem!”
“I'm sure the old school will still be loved even when the end of the world comes!”
“Either way, the bigger the tits, the better they look!”
“Well, of course! No, however, in some cases the right size can bring perfect harmony!”
“Well, of course, oppai don't?”
“Have highs and lows!”
“In that case, the balance between the butt and thighs becomes a point?”
“Easy delivery type is good, and small asses?”
Usually, the only guys I could talk to about erotic things were Matsuda and Motohama, and I knew their thoughts and preferences too well to talk to them now. But it was so fun to talk about erotic things with a guy from another school that I'd known for less than a few minutes that I couldn't help myself!
That's why these words unintentionally left my mouth.
“Geez, I don't usually have many bastard friends with whom I can talk about erotic things, so it was refreshing to meet you in the magazine section of a convenience store.”
The guy smiled at me.
“I also haven't had this conversation with a guy in a while, so that's good. I've been forced to go to a lot of gatherings with a lot of girls at the moment and it's almost forbidden to talk about these things there.”
“I think that I'm in the same boat. ...It's hard to show off these things when you belong to a group with a lot of girls.”
We both sighed and put the magazine back on the shelf. Oh, as I thought, he also wasn't in a position where he could buy these books so easily. I was in the same boat. If I were to buy this kind of book and go back home, I would be asked all kinds of things with the book as the source and wouldn't be able to enjoy it.
...Being surrounded by a lot of girls, and being asked about your fetishes can be pretty nice, but it can be harder than you think, you see?
Then the clerk started to glance at us. I wonder if we stayed here too long.
“That's right, I've come here to buy here.”
The boy took a game magazine and went to the cashier. I also took a basket with the products that I was going to buy and went there too. Since both of us finished our shopping, we went there together.
The boy said.
“Actually. I was supposed to go out with the girls' gathering I mentioned earlier today, it was a long journey, and we came to Kuoh Town.”
“Heh, is that so? Then, what about this girls' gathering you talked about?”
“They said [Since we are going to a school with many girls, you can't come.] I was told this by the leader-like girl and was forced to wait at a nearby manga cafe. Ahh~, even though I was filled with expectations since it was a school full of girls, I was told a single [Don't come]...damn it! Since there are many girls, it should be alright to see them at least!”
The boy said this while dropping his shoulders in frustration.
Hmm, hmm, I understand! If you're told that it's a school full of girls you'd like to go there, right!?
The boy continued.
“Well, if something happens, they will contact me through the mobile phone, so while reading this game magazine in the manga cafe, I thought I'd play with my Santendo VllTA's "Onna Nobuna's Ambition".”
“A history strategy game?”
“Yes! It's my field of expertise! What kind of games do you play?”
“Well, there are a lot of mainstream games. Also, I'm good at racing games. Of course, I also play lewd games?”
After shaking hands with each other, we decided to break up at the pedestrian crossing. After the boy crossed to the other side, he raised his voice.
“What's your name?”
“I'm Hyoudou Issei! And you?”
“I'm?”
When he shouted, a large car passed by so I could hear only the words [Sa] and [Ru].
“Bye!”
The boy only said this and left.
...Sa...ru...? No matter how I think about it, it's a family name with [Sa] and a name with [Ru], right?
However, how should I say it? I just went out to shop, but I had quite a good encounter in the convenience store. I want to talk about lewd things with that boy again!
While thinking about that, I started walking in the direction of Kuoh Academy.
I'm Hyoudou Issei. I may look like this, but I'm a [Pawn] of the High-class Devil Rias Gremory, and I'm a Devil.
It happened when I arrived at the old school building.
“Hmm, it's an old school building.”
“Princess, this is an old school building. There was also a splendid school building over there.”
“However, it has an elegant atmosphere. 90 points.”
A group of girls from another school were standing in front of the old school building and talking! There were middle school-looking girls and college student-looking onee-sans too, but the one who looked like the leader was the brown-haired high-school student girl in a sailor uniform standing in the centre.
Ooh, a group of beautiful women and beautiful girls! However, what kind of business do these girls from other schools have in front of this old school building?
Then, a girl with long black hair perceived my presence and approached me.
“Muu! Hime-sama, look here! There's a pervert-looking boy here that could rival Sagara-senpai!”
“C-certainly, he has a lewd face that could rival that guy.”
Even a girl whose big breasts could clearly be seen over the sailor uniform looked in my direction and said that! The combination of sailor uniform, big breasts, and ponytail is wonderful!
I gazed at her breasts, unintentionally. Then the high-school girl with a ponytail hid her breasts with teary eyes.
“Don't look at my breasts with l-lewd eyes!”
I'm sorry for having a lewd look! Be it the nature of a man or my nature, I can't help but look if there are big breasts in front of my eyes!
The brown-haired girl calmed down the ponytailed girl while saying [Well, well] and asked me.
“You're a person from this school, right? I've heard that there's a red-haired woman in this old school building, but...could it be that you're a person related to this place?”
Are they Rias' guests? It's pretty rare for us to have students from other schools as guests.
“Yes, that's right. By red crimson, you mean Rias...Buchou, right? If that's the case, I'll call?”
When I said until there, my field of view was filled with crimson.
Because the beautiful girl with crimson hair, Rias and Fuku-Buchou, Akeno-san appeared at the old school building entrance. Perhaps the schoolgirls perceived my gaze; they looked in the same direction and perceived Rias and Akeno-san.
“?Well, that person is the master of this old school building and the Buchou of the Occult Research Club, Rias Gremory.”
Rias and Akeno-san smiled brightly and said to the girls.
“Welcome to Kuoh Academy. Now, let's go inside.”
In this way, the talk with the mysterious group of school girls started.
The people gathering in the club room were all the Occult Research Club members on our side. On the other side were three high-school girls, including the brown-haired, a female college student, one middle school student, and one elementary school student. They were centred around the brown-haired girl.
We, the Gremory peerage ? the Devils act in a specific area in the human world that they make their territory. The main activity of a Devil was to be summoned by Humans and grant their wishes. For example, if someone wanted to be rich, they needed to pay a reasonable price in exchange to have their wish granted. It was a so-called equivalent exchange. Since we were Devils, people would think that we granted a wish in exchange for the person's soul; currently, few asked for so much for a wish.
Furthermore, recent Humans didn't try to summon Devils by drawing magic circles because they didn't need to do such an unscientific thing in modern Japan, which was an economic superpower. Therefore, we handed out leaflets engraved with magic circles on the streets to the people who seemed to be greedy and waited to be summoned.
Maybe this group of high school girls also knew us from the leaflet. Akeno-san, who has finished serving tea to the clients, took a seat and introduced our side. After that, Akeno-san was urged by Rias to tell the beginning of the matter.
Akeno-san said.
“Actually, there were some of my customers who would like to meet with Rias-buchou in person and make a direct request to her. When I heard their story, it was fascinating, so I invited them.”
Ah, I see. So they’re customers of Akeno-san.
Rias continued.
“Because they wanted to see a Devil up close. I listened to it lightly, but it was exciting, so I called them here.”
I wondered if it would be okay to open up the existence of the Devils, but...when I saw Rias' eyes shining, I perceived that something like that didn't matter anymore.
The highschool girl with brownish hair greeted us again.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Oda. Everyone here are my friends and those that I consider my younger sisters.”
With the urge of Oda-san, the big-breasted girl of a while ago lowered her head.
“I'm Shibata. Princess...no, I go to the same school as Oda-san.”
This time the female college student said with a smile.
“I'm Niwa. A college student struggling to become a teacher.”
Hmm, this onee-san also has big breasts! This is good, a big-breasted college student.
““...You are making lewd eyes there...””
It was the voices of Koneko-chan and the elementary school student on that side that overlapped! She had a small stature like Koneko-chan and was wearing a knitted hat with tiger patterns. This female elementary school student also lowered her head.
“...I'm Maeda. I'm Princess-sama's little sister.”
Somehow, Maeda-san had a similar atmosphere to Koneko-chan. She was chewing the red bean paste that was served together with the tea the same way as Koneko-chan. ...Or rather, just by appearances, Koneko-chan looked like an elementary school student...
“...You are thinking about rude things, right?”
I was being stared at by Koneko-chan! Koneko-sama always reads what goes on inside of my mind!
The 5th to introduce herself was a black-haired girl who raised her fist energetically. It was the girl that saw through my face and called me lewd a while ago.
“I'm Akechi! Let's get along from now on!”
The last was a little girl hiding on the back of Maeda-san...
Oda-san said to the girl while chuckling.
“Now, Hanbei. It would be rude if you don't introduce yourself, right?”
Being urged by Oda-san, the girl called Hanbei timidly appeared in front of us.
“...Sob. I-I'm called Takenaka. I'm a middle-schooler. Nice to meet you all...”
...She had teary eyes; is she shy? She acted similar to our Gya-suke. Gasper said, [I can understand the feelings of that girl] as he sympathised with her.
However, Takenaka was quite a rare name. Takenaka Hanbei? No, it might be a nickname. Or rather, wasn't Takenaka Hanbei, a famous historical individual? No way, maybe they just gave her the nickname of Hanbei because she's called Takenaka, right? If that's the case, what's the relationship between those girls who call Oda-san [Princess]...w-well, it couldn't be helped that I'd think that it was just a nickname.
When the greetings finished, that black-haired girl ? Akechi raised her hand again and asked.
“I've heard that everyone here is a Devil, but is that true? I want you to show some proof!”
Her eyes were shining, and she looked full of curiosity. Rias smiled and silently approached her hand towards the cup with black tea.
Red aura was released by her hand and enveloped the cup. Seeing that, Oda-san raised a scream [Ooh!] as she watched it with serious eyes. When Rias raised her hand, black tea came out from the cup ? only the liquid left the cup and floated in the space. Moreover, in an instant, the black tea became a red-coloured lump of ice.
It was a technique of Devils ? demonic power. It was also the supernatural power that became the source of the magicians’ power known as magic. Because of this power, Devils could create all types of paranormal phenomena.
Oda-san and her colleagues, who saw this phenomenon, exclaimed "Oh" and "Wow".
Then I said to Oda-san.
“However, the existence of high school girls who want to know about Devils is really rare.”
“The one who taught us about the existence of Devils was Hanbei here.”
Oda-san looked at Takenaka-san. Takenaka-san started talking timidly.
“...Cough cough. A-actually, I'm from a family of Onmyouji...that's why I have known about the existence of supernatural creatures since I was young...”
That...settled the talk quickly, or rather, they seemed to have believed in Devils from the beginning. Because Takenaka-san, who knew the existence of Devils and other supernatural beings, was their friend, so I think the previous question was to confirm whether we were genuine or not.
“Then Hanbei said, [The Devil Princess in the neighbouring prefecture may tell you anything.] Then we ? no, I wondered if she could unravel the mystery that my family had been pursuing for many years.”
So they came from the neighbouring prefecture? ...Or rather, for those who were familiar with the behind-the-scenes situation in Japan, how famous was our team? Suddenly, I wondered about that.
Takenaka-san said timidly.
“Cough, I-I have an acquaintance who is a sister-san in this town. ...That's why I receive many reports of this type from her.”
“A sister? Who is it?”
When she heard the person was a sister, Irina bent her neck. Perhaps she was curious as a person from the same church.
“A blond woman called Louise. She's stunning and has outstanding proportions.”
Oda-san replied like that. What? She's incredibly beautiful and has outstanding proportions?! I'm also interested in this person!
Hearing that, Irina also seemed to understand.
“Ah ? Sister Louise. Speaking of which, that person is familiar with Japan, so she was always speaking Japanese fluently.”
T-this kind of sister-san was in Japan?! Later, I'll ask Irina and go there to check!
“...You were thinking about lewd things, right?”
“...Hmm, he sure did.”
I was glared at by Koneko-chan and Maeda-san, who had their eyes half-closed! Somehow, I was receiving more tsukkomis than usual today! Probably because there were four strict eyes!
Then Oda-san puffed up her chest again and said.
“Actually, my family is the descendant of a certain Sengoku daimyo. And then we had a matter causing distress related to our ancestors.”
“Then the thing you want to ask Rias-buchou is about that?”
Oda-san nodded at my question.
Or rather, a Sengoku daimyo...! So Oda-san's ancestor was someone recorded in history! ...Mn? O, Oda...? Speaking of which, the Akechi-san there was also called Akechi...? N-no way, right...?
Rias who was about to be asked for a request was?
“Interesting. This is really interesting.”
Her eyes were shining even more than Akechi-san's were a while ago. That's right, Rias loved things related to Japan. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a hobby. She also collected such goods. She was so enthusiastic about it that she unknowingly searched for Samurais and Ninjas while walking around town.
Originally, her interest in Japan was inspired by Okita Souji (a real former Shinsengumi soldier), a knight of Sirzechs Lucifer-sama's peerage, who was also Rias's older brother and a Maou.
“From Buchou's perspective, the descendants of Japanese military commanders are nothing more than the subject of interest. Ufufu.”
Akeno-san said joyfully. Certainly, to Rias, Oda-san, and the others would be unique customers. She was so interested in them that she may fulfil their wish for free.
Kiba asked Oda-san and her group.
“Then did everyone else come here to accompany Oda-san? Are you here to observe? What's the relationship between you girls?”
Perhaps he was curious about the members other than Oda-san. Did they come here to observe Oda-san's request? Or like Oda-san, did they have wishes too?
At the appearance of Kiba, Oda-san and the others were, [Ara, a handsome guy], [even his voice is attractive], [98 points.] as they reacted as if they had seen a male idol! Kuu! Damn you, handsome guy! As I thought, it could only be said that he gave an excellent impression to the person he met for the first time.
Oda-san said.
“I heard that my ancestor had some military commanders that he had a good relationship with, so I researched them. Then I found that they had descendants, moreover, girls of the same generation as me. So when I called out to them, we hit it off before we knew it.”
They smiled and laughed at each other.
After many generations, the line-up of that time had carried it. One could feel the power of fate working here.
“Ufufu, no way, I didn't even imagine that the descendant of the Oda-clan would come to talk with me.”
Then, Niwa-san said. Well, probably it was as she said. I didn't think that it would end on the level of being unexpected to be called due to one's ancestors.
Oda-san smiled bitterly.
“I searched the house of the other girls for the information I was looking for, but in the end, I didn't find a thing. Then I heard from Hanbei that I wouldn't find it if I didn't borrow all the help I could, even if it was from a Devil. So when I had the opportunity to go on a trip and walk to the station of this town, I got a leaflet with a magic circle drawn on it.”
Then she called Akeno-san. I see, I see. It made sense. Since this was the case, wouldn't it be alright for them to call the Devil who had a territory in their prefecture? I thought about that, but perhaps she understood what I was thinking? Takenaka-san opened her mouth and murmured.
“Cough, because I've heard that the Devil Princess-sama here was really, really gentle.”
That's the correct answer! Since she was from a clan that had deep affection, our Rias was a very kind Devil, so basically, she doesn't get angry unless the person was evil. Later, we needed to tell the Devil, who was the master of the territory where Oda-san and the others lived. Such cases (as the activation of leaflets in the territory of others) rarely happened.
After introducing themselves and talking about their backgrounds, Oda-san and her group took out the core of this request from a bag.
“Actually, there is something left by my ancestor, so I felt curious about it and started investigating.”
...It was an old wooden box. There was something like a family crest, and although the box was old, elegance could be felt from it.
Oda-san tried to open it, but at the moment, she blushed and showed hesitation. However, it seems like she decided to do it.
“I-it's this.”
She opened the box and thrust it toward us so that we could see what was inside.
The thing in the interior of the box was ? a black cloth; or rather, this was... Oda-san took the thing in the box and raised and spread it while feeling embarrassed.
Knowing the identity of the item, all members of the Occult club became a little surprised.
It was a black bra!
“...Underwear, it's a brassiere, right?”
Rias asked to confirm.
Oda-san nodded, and to complement, she said.
“Don't be surprised. This has been passed down in my house since the Sengoku period.”
[Sengoku period!?]
That confession surprised us! That's obvious! Because the thing passed down in her house since the Sengoku period was a bra! No matter how ignorant I was about history, I didn't think there had been a bra since that time! N-no, maybe the thing that became its prototype might have already been somewhere in the world at that time. But I don't think there were bras in the Sengoku period of Japan!
The more I looked at it, the more it looked similar to the current era’s bras. Maybe it was a lie that this thing was from the Sengoku period, and it seemed more natural to think that this was a joke made by Oda-san's parents.
“S-so there were bras in the Sengoku period!”
Asia was surprised too. As expected, a brassiere that was passed down since the Sengoku period was something unexpected.
“As expected, Japan is an economic powerhouse. It was the one who set the modern standard from such a long time ago...”
Xenovia groaned while feeling admiration. She had an unnecessary misunderstanding; well, let’s leave it for now.
“It seems to be very valuable. Or rather, it seems like an out-of-place artefact.”
Rossweisse-san was also looking at the bra from the Sengoku period full of interest.
Oda-san said while spreading the bra.
“When I looked up the old literature in my house, it seems that the ancestor-sama received it from a black Tengu.”
“A black Tengu...”
So a Tengu appeared. It was probably a Youkai or something from that lineage. We were Devils, and there was almost no interaction with them. No, I'd met some in Kyoto, but...
“...It may be a Karasu Tengu. It's a Tengu with black feathers.”
Koneko-chan said while eating a cake with Maeda-san. ...Somehow, you girls really get along.
“Somehow, it feels like there are two Koneko-chan.”
It seems like Ravel held the same thought as me.
“However, a Tengu...if that's the case, the Youkais from Kyoto might know more than us about it.”
Rias concluded with her hand in her chin. I also thought about Kyoto. It would be faster that way. I mean, the nine-tailed fox that I'd met in Kyoto was incredibly well connected with the Youkais of Japan.
“Eh!? As I thought, Youkai exists! Isn't that amazing!?”
Oda-san was overjoyed, but Shiba-san and Akechi-san said calmly.
“Princess-sama, the beings before our eyes now are Devils, you know...?”
“However, although these people are Devils, they don't feel like that. They feel like human beings.”
She replied while looking at us. Well, we didn't look like devilish monsters described in the legends. Although there were Devils that don't look like humans at all...
Oda-san once again said her wish.
“Like that, the thing that I wish for Rias-san is for you to gather the truthful information about this bra. As the proverb says: one should go to specialists for the best results, but couldn't you please investigate the black Tengu?”
Rias continued silent as she stared at the bra with her hand on her chin. The atmosphere coming from her didn't show that she would refuse, but I think that she was concerned about the Tengu who gave a brassiere to a military commander of the Sengoku period.
Takenaka-san proposed from Oda-san's side.
“...H-hey, we need to have them listen to our other wishes too...”
Hearing that, Oda-san exclaimed as if she remembered something.
“That's right! Actually, lately there's a group of dangerous people targeting us.”
“A group of dangerous people?”
When Rias asked back, Oda-san nodded and continued.
“Yes, they say, [Since you've inherited the blood of a hero, become my comrade]. Some time ago they attacked us, it was shocking.”
! ...We lost our words! Since we happened to have an idea of these people’s identity, we club members looked at each other. Everyone came up with the same conclusion.
“...I guess those people are?”
Rias nodded at my words.
“...Yes, probably. So they are remnants.”
...It was one of the factions of the terrorist organisation [Khaos Brigade], Hero Faction! It was a group formed by the descendants of the heroes recorded in history and myths who gathered to challenge the supernatural world. Many things happened, and we ended up defeating the faction’s core members, but occasionally I'd heard that the remnants were moving. We also encountered these remnants. Now that they had lost their leaders, their principles of action were extremely vague and dangerous.
However, without paying attention to such a thing, Akechi-san, Shibata-san, and Niwa-san, who were friends of Oda-san, talked with bravery.
“At that time, I used my splendid Kashima Shinto Ryu, which I'm a master of, and blew away those suspicious old men all at once!”
“It wasn't only you. I also fought.”
“Fufufu. On that occasion, we were able to do something since we are fond of martial arts due to our families’ urge. However, it was certain that the enemy was filled with killing intent. If it was to continue like this, someday we might fall in a dangerous situation.”
Should I think that this was to be expected of the descendants of military commanders? They had enough skills to repel the grunts of a terrorist organisation. However, these were some circumstances that we couldn't let go of. Since we heard this, we couldn't help but fulfil their wish since we were also enemies of those guys.
“...Cough, I don't like being bullied.”
Takekana-san was also scared. To frighten such an innocent middle-schooler girl, these bastards of the Hero Faction...!
“The truth about this brassiere passed down in the Oda household, and to deal with that strange group, could you fulfil these two wishes at the same time?”
That's Oda-san ? no, this was Oda-san and her group's wish. Information gathering from now on would be the key for the former, but for the latter, we — the terrorist countermeasure team [DxD] couldn't ignore.
Rias said.
“Understood. Let's listen to those two requests. I'm also curious about the underwear that has been passed down since the Sengoku period, and the remnants of the Hero Faction can't be ignored.”
“Then!”
When Oda-san looked at her with a gaze full of expectations, Rias nodded in agreement.
“Yes, in the name of Rias Gremory, I'll fulfil both requests.”
Hearing those words, Oda-san and her friends became excited.
Well, it's alright to fulfil their wishes, but the main thing was information gathering.
First of all, Koneko-chan, who was a Nekomata, went out to investigate by herself. To investigate the Hero Faction remnants, Akeno-san contacted the Underworld (Devil and Fallen Angel's side). Irina also asked Heaven to investigate.
And about Rias, she drew a giant communication magic circle in the room and was about to gather information about the Tengu from here.
What was projected in the communication magic circle was the 3D image of Yasaka-san and her daughter, Kunou, who were responsible for the Youkai in Kyoto. Yasaka-san and Kunou were nine-tailed foxes and the princesses of the Youkai. There were all types of Youkai serving under them, of course, Tengu too.
Kunou had a difficult face through the magic circle.
[Umu, I'll try to find it since it's the request of none other than Ise and the others, but I doubt that's a Tengu from my family, this the first time that I've heard of a Tengu who gives women underwear in the Sengoku period].
Well, that's obvious. It was also my first hearing of Tengu, who gives brassiere.
In the back, Oda-san and the others reacted like this by seeing the supernatural phenomenon of contacting someone with a magic circle, [Amazing!], [It's like a fantasy] etc.
[Hmm? Hora, hora, although it's through the magic circle, I feel quite the nostalgic presence].
Yasaka-san, who replied casually, looked at Oda-san.
[I can feel a really nostalgic presence coming from the Ojou-chan there].
“I'm called Oda.”
[Oda...I see, I see. Then it's just natural for you to have connections with this capital of Kyoto].
Yasaka-san didn't say anything more than this, but somehow, she looked nostalgic.
In the end, we found ourselves in a situation where we need to wait for the information coming from Kyoto. Kunou said, [Don't expect too much].
The other members who went out to search for information also came back, but their expressions didn't give a hint of good news. Akeno-san was the only one who hadn't returned after she went out searching for information, but we had slim hopes on that.
When we were thinking about what would be our next move, the door was knocked.
It was Sona-kaichou who entered the room. At the moment she entered the room, Kaichou said to Rias with a complex expression.
“...Rias, it seems like we have some trouble.”
“?”
We looked at each other's faces, but someone shouted from outside of the old school building an instant later.
“Oda! I've heard that you're here. Show yourself!”
...It was the voice of a young woman. I wasn't familiar with it, but Oda-san and the others?
“...She came until here, geez.”
They seemed to be familiar with the person, and all of them sighed. I don't know what was going on, but we decided to leave the old school building for the time being.
What was waiting for us in front of the old school building was ? a group of men wearing suspicious clothes and a brave woman who seemed to be the leader? Perhaps she was in her early twenties, she was a fascinating older sister with an extremely glamorous body, but her eyes were sharp and full of fighting spirit. She held a gunbai in her hand.
The woman said to Oda-san while smiling.
“To think you would be in such a place, Oda. Let's end our fate today.”
Oda-san replied a little tired as she put her hand on her forehead.
“...So it's you again, Takeda-san.”
...It seemed like they knew each other, but it looked like they had their circumstances. When I was puzzled about that, Niwa-san whispered in my ear.
(Actually, our Hime-sama and Takeda-san met due to a strange fate; since then, they were on opposite sides about everything. By the way, she's also the descendant of a certain military commander. It seems like her ancestor fought with the ancestor of our Hime-sama. It's like fate, right?)
Ah, so they had this kind of relationship. The opponent was also the descendant of a military commander! Then, these were the so-called fated rivals due to their ancestors. I could feel the power of fate in this. ...However, when it came to Oda and Takeda, I could only think about some super famous people.
While they were staring at each other, Shibata-san pointed at the men being lead by Takeda-san and said,
“Ah! It's you guys!”
After looking at them carefully, these men’s faces were battered, and even their clothes were strangely ragged; they looked as if they already fought before coming here.
Akechi-san cutely said while fuming with rage.
“It's them! They are the suspicious old men who were targeting us!”
Oda-san continued saying.
“Yes, it was these guys! The group who approached us persistently!”
Serious?! Takeda-san's underlings weren't women but members of the Hero Faction! Did the Hero Faction come to this Kuoh Academy?! Even so, more than just already having been battered, they don't have the fighting spirit...
The guys from the Hero Faction said to Oda-san.
“Today is the time to fulfil our long standing desire, so please cooperate?”
“Shut up. This is a problem between Oda and me. You guys should just follow me as promised.”
Takeda-san said so, blocking the words of the remnants of the Hero Faction. It seemed that Takeda-san's position was higher than theirs.
Rias took a step forward and asked the men.
“You guys are remnants of the Hero Faction, right? No way to think that you would try to recruit even the descendants of the military commanders of Japan...or rather, wasn't it reckless of your part to invade this place? ...You know what kind of place this,is, right?”
They didn't deny it, but they had an indescribable expression on their faces. They showed us a face that they didn't want to show. I wonder if the reason why they were able to enter the Kuoh Town, which was on high alert for terrorism, with these suspicious clothes, was that they didn’t have fighting spirit and were judged to be inoffensive? Because they looked like the servants of Takeda-san (a brave-looking ordinary woman)... W-well, seeing their battered appearances, even I felt pity for them.
Takeda-san said to Rias.
“These are the guys who came up to me last night. They were saying something about the descendants of heroes, etc. But I shut them up. I was just looking for underlings, so I brought them along to help with the confrontation against Oda. Well, I'm sure that they at least serve as a shield. And since they seemed to have some idea of where Oda was, I made them guide me here.”
T-this person is amazing! She took down the remnants of the Hero Faction and made them her subordinates! As expected of a descendent of a military commander...indeed, she has a strange and powerful aura covering her body.
Rias didn't stop her fearless smile when she heard this and said.
“However, we can't let them go. In the name of the Duke of Gremory, I'll blow away the remnants of the Hero Faction.”
Oda-san exhaled once, and her eyes turned resolute.
“I don't know about this suspicious group, but if you're dealing with Takeda-san, you can't retreat. Good. It's not a bad idea to end it here. Everyone!”
Hearing Oda-san's words, Shibata-san, Akechi-san, Niwa-san, and Maeda-san, took a step forward. ...Takenaka-san, on the contrary, took a step backwards and took a talisman used for Onmyouji from her pocket and held it in her hand.
“Oh, we don't have our weapons!”
“...Speaking of which, since it was a school with many girls, we didn't bring our weapons today.”
Akechi-san and Shibata-san realised that their weapons weren't on the waist and started becoming impatient.
Then, with a handsome smile, Kiba made many types of swords with his Sacred Gear, [Sword Birth]. When the aura gathered around Kiba's body was transmitted to the ground, swords of all shapes appeared as if they were growing from the ground.
“Feel free to pick the one you want. I made spear-types too.”
Kiba swung one of the weapons he created, showing it to Oda-san and her group.
“As expected, the handsome guy is different! I'll be borrowing a katana!”
“Thank you! I'll take a katana too!”
“...I'll take a spear.”
Akechi-san, Shibata-san, and Maeda-san took their respective weapons from the ground. Oda-san took one too and placed it on her shoulder. That appearance was strangely different.
Seeing that, Takeda-san fearlessly smiled.
“Alright, let's fight. If I win, I wonder if I can get it at Sagara, as we promised before?”
“I won't give him to you. I mean, he's my important partner. After all, it's my dream to go out into the world with him and everyone here!”
Her eyes were burning as she said her ambition when Takeda-san heard that her fighting spirit raised and her smile deepened.
“That's good. That's you're the best, Oda!”
“Riku! Machiyo! Juubei! Inuchiyo! and Hanbei! Let's go!”
That became the signal, and the battle started. They have more in terms of numbers, probably because they had taken in the Hero Faction remnants. Oda-san decided to take charge of Takeda-san, and we acted as her support as we jumped out toward the Hero Faction remnants. Well, it was our role to clean up the remnants of the Hero Faction!
The war started! The first people to cut in were Akechi-san and Shibata-san!
“You are in the way, old men!”
“Really!”
Akechi-san and Shibata-san cut the men with superb swordsmanship ? no, it was different.
“Fuu, I hit you with the back of the sword, so relax!”
Akechi-san hit them with the back of the katana. Splendid.
“We can't lose, right? Xenovia!”
“Ah, Irina!”
Xenovia and Irina took one of Kiba’s swords and cut the opponents, but like Akechi-san and Shibata-san, they used the sword’s backside.
“Using the backside of the sword. Fufu, I wanted to do it at least once.”
Then, as if saying a phrase of effect, Xenovia was acting cool.
“I cut something trivial. ...This is the kind of phrase that a Japanese samurai says after cutting someone, right!?”
“...I think you are wrong.”
Shibata-san bentvher neck at Irina, who was making a finishing pose. Hmm, I also think that it's a little different from what Irina said.
“However, it was excellent, both of you!”
Akechi-san also praised the swordsmanship of Xenovia and Irina.
“”...Blow away.””
The men were blown away again and again by the mighty blows of Koneko-chan and the spearmanship of Maeda-san. They look so brave and reliable! You wouldn't expect to see such powerful elementary school girls!
““...You're thinking about rude things, right?””
As expected, I was stared at by both of them at the same time! It feels like there are two Koneko-chan!
Then, for some reason, Takeda-san reacted to both of them.
“Muu! There are...two cats!”
Her brave face broke into a broad smile. It seems like she's interested in cat-looking things. Koneko-chan just put her cat-ears out, and Maeda-san was wearing a knitted hat with tiger patterns, and she looked like a cat.
Takeda-san said to Oda-san and Rias.
“You girls, give these children to me!”
““I won't give them to you!””
Rias and Oda-san refused at the same time! Well, that’s obvious!
Then, the appearance of Niwa-san, who beautifully dodged the attacks of men and struck them down with the back of the katana one after another was reflected in my line of sight!
“Ufufu, are, so you're only of this level? I'll give you 10 points.”
Somehow, her cold eyes gave me chills! Ahh, onee-sama! Hit me with the back of your sword too!
From the back, Takenaka-san used her talisman to support us!
“Awawawawawa, ZeZeZeZeZeZenki-san! Please, help me! I'm being bullied!”
With the technique’s activation, a man in a hakama used by nobles in ancient Japan leapt out of the pentagram formation. He used mysterious techniques to trap the remaining men or blow them away.
“Kon! I'll join this battle under the call of my master!”
That is the thing called a Shikigami, right?! As expected of an Onmyoji!
We also couldn't be left behind by Oda-san and the others! All the remaining members of the Occult Research Club leapt towards the remnants of the Hero Faction!
I also manifested my Boosted Gear and struck against the enemies while cooperating with my comrades! They weren't strong! So we didn't even need to use Balance Breaker. They should be among those on the bottom!
However, Takeda-san, who was Oda-san's opponent, were different!
“Not bad, Oda!”
“You too, you aren't bad!”
A fierce battle between a katana and a gunbai was occurring in the middle of the battlefield! It seems like Oda-san was familiar with swords; she swung her katana vertically and horizontally without showing an opening.
Takeda-san who avoided this by using only her body and the gunbai as the axis was also a very skilled fighter.
As expected, perhaps thinking that only the gunbai wouldn't be enough, Takeda-san jumped backwards and took a katana created by Kiba from the ground.
Both of them took their stances with their katanas. The confrontation between Oda-san and Takeda-san was beautifully done and looked as tense as a film’s climax.
Just when I thought that the next move would be big, the voice of an outsider came in.
“Kukuku! Stop right there, Oda, Takeda!”
Looking towards the direction of the voice was ? a girl with blonde hair and an eye patch whose face I didn't know, and three other people whose faces I was familiar with. On the girl's hand was that sword that mixed light and darkness created by Azazel-sensei [The sword of that black story], the girl was in high spirits as she held that with one hand!
About the people that I was familiar with, they were Akeno-san, Azazel-sensei, and Cao Cao. It was a strange group! Cao Cao!? No way, I didn't imagine that the former leader of the Hero Faction would appear!
""""""Cao Cao-sama!?""""""
The men were shocked at the appearance of their former leader and became moved.
Cao Cao sighed and moved towards them.
“?When I was asked by the former governor and investigated this case, no way, it was you guys.”
”Cao Cao-sama!? You were alive?!”
From the perspective of the remnants, they judged Cao Cao to be dead. So if the person were to appear alive in front of them, of course, they would be surprised.
While knocking his spear on his shoulder, Cao Cao laughed in self-mockery.
“Fuu, well, I fell once. Then various things happened, and now I'm only trying to clear my regrets.”
The men kneeled in front of Cao Cao and declared.
“Cao Cao-sama! Please raise the flag of our long-cherished desire once again! For that reason, let's take possession of these girls who are descendants of warlords!”
Hearing their words, Cao Cao smiled bitterly.
“I'm sorry, Hyoudou Issei, Oda’s descendant and the others. I'll take responsibility for these guys and take them away. Well, for now, follow me, you guys. ...We don't have another choice but to change our ways, but I won't throw you guys away. If you guys are alright with me, I'll take care of you all.”
"""""Yes!"""""
After being glanced at by Cao Cao, they left this place together with him. Arara, it seems like it was settled. If Hero Faction’s former leader says that he'll take them personally, it's natural for them to follow. ...If it's the current Cao Cao, I don't think he'll do anything bad.
Perhaps it dampened their enthusiasm because Oda-san and Takeda-san lowered their Kanata. Oda-san said with a bitter smile.
“If such a handsome guy invited me, I might have accepted the invitation.”
“To think that the descendent of a hero of the [The Three Kingdoms] would appear, I'm interested.”
Niwa-san was also interested in the name [Cao Cao].
Well, well. Now that we've come to this, only Akeno-san, Azazel-sensei, and the mysterious blonde girl remain.
“Oh, hey, guys. I was looking for something in a department store. Then Akeno appeared and asked me to come, so I did. And while we were shopping, we found a girl who had some interesting things to say.”
Sensei looked at the blonde girl. The girl took a strange pose and started saying and acting like someone with chuunibyou.
“Kukuku! Since the Fallen Angels’ governor introduced me, I have no choice but to name myself! I'm the [Beast of Apocalypse], the Anti-Christ of the world; I’m called [Evil-eyed Dragon Masamune]!”
“?And this seems to be the case.”
Hmm, so you found a chuunibyou girl, and while chatting with her, you ignited her chuunibyou spirit? She was proudly waving her sword, which was a mixture of light and dark. Perhaps the power had been adjusted because dangerous waves weren't flying. However, it was releasing a blue-white and black aura.
“Oh, it's you, Bontenmaru! So you've come too.”
It seems like Oda-san and the others knew her.
“I wanted to participate in the search for the Tengu with the Oda Princess.”
So they were friends? Oda-san had all kinds of friends.
“Hah! The Beast of Apocalypse! Is she connected with Trihexa!?”
“No, I guess she has no relation with that.”
Meanwhile, Xenovia and Irina were reacting to the girl who named herself Bontenmaru.
“Of course she isn't related. ?But she's interesting. So we've been talking.”
Sensei started laughing. Of course~. There's no way she could be related to that. However, since it was interesting, they started talking. Probably sensei gave her [The sword of that black story] with his eyes shining.
“Behold of this! This legendary sword that I've received from the governor of the Fallen Angels! The Dragon Slaying Blade of Light and Darkness, v3!”
Ah~ she looks so happy. The sword was also shining. It became quite a good toy.
“...Is it alright? To give that to her?”
“Well, it won't be misused. I also adjusted it.”
Sensei just smiled at my question.
I understood the relationship between sensei and Bontenmaru-chan. Lastly, it's about Akeno-san's arrival.
Akeno-san laughed [Ufufu] while calmly seeing the situation and then said to Rias.
“Buchou, it seems like I've found the Tengu who gave the brassiere. A while ago, I was talking with my father, and it seems like he has an idea of who it could have been...”
Hearing Akeno-san's words, the attention of everyone gathered on her.
“Really?”
“Where 's the Tengu?”
Rias and Oda-san asked Akeno-san. After chuckling a little, Akeno-san pointed in a particular direction. ?It was towards Azazel-sensei!
After being urged by Oda-san, Sensei seemed to remember and nodded many times.
“Oh! Ooh! That face! I remember it!”
“Hmm? Uncle, who are you?”
Oda-san was confused, but sensei just looked at Oda-san and her group and seemed like he was having fun.
“The former chief of the Fallen Angels. Somehow, it reminds me of a group that I knew.”
Black wings appeared from sensei's back after he said so.
“Could it be...the black tengu!?”
Seeing sensei's feathers, Oda-san seemed to realise something.
Once again, Oda-san talked about her circumstances, this time to sensei, and took that bra out.
Sensei saw that and laughed loudly.
“Ahahahahahahaha! I see! A black Tengu gave a bra to the Oda clan! The incident of that time is being transmitted in that way!”
“After all, the black Tengu was sensei, isn't it?”
Sensei said nostalgically after hearing my question.
“Oh, it was a few hundred years ago in this country. It was around the time when it was called the Sengoku period. Whenever there was a war, it was a time for the Fallen Angels and Devils to make money. They would be called upon by those who were troubled by the war, or they would call them themselves, and they would lend them powers beyond human comprehension in exchange for their lives or rare sacred objects. It happened at that time. There was a time when I was in the forest when a girl appeared before me.”
The ancestor of Oda-san asked sensei.
[Hey, could it be that you're a Tengu?]
Then,
“She asked me this, then I, [Yes, that's right.] replied like that. Then she asked me to show some Tengu techniques. Then I showed her some techniques using the power of light, and then she said [Give me something].”
“Then you gave her a bra?”
“Hahaha, we're a bunch of engineers. We've done everything from researching Sacred Gears to making new underwear. And I just happened to have one of those on hand, so I gave it to her.”
Once we knew the result, it was the typical prank of sensei, so I was unsure whether I should be angry or what, but Oda-san and her friends were earnestly listening to it.
Oda-san asked sensei.
“Hey, you, you've been living for a really long time, right? So you met my ancestor, right?”
“Yes, that's right.”
“What kind of person was my ancestor?”
Sensei put a hand on his chin and said with joy.
“I think she was like a naughty girl. However, she had good eyes filled with ambition. I've heard a lot of stories about her rampages.”
“Dearuka! Ah, sorry. Sometimes I say this by habit.”
Sensei smiled when he heard her say that.
“Speaking of which, that girl also said that word. As I thought, you girls are similar.”
The truth was hidden in the most unlikely places, and through this case, I had come to realise that it was closer than we think.
Takeda-san, next to Oda-san, threw her sword away and left the place, with a bitter smile saying,
”The excitement cooled, right?”
Everything was done, and it was time to say goodbye.
We saw Oda-san and her friends off in front of the school gate of the old school building.
Oda-san said words of gratitude.
“Thank you for this time. Really, I had two of my worries solved in an instant.”
“No, it was my pleasure. It was an honour for me to meet the descendants of the warlords.”
It was very memorable how happy Rias was happy throughout the whole incident.
Then, as if she remembered it just now, Shibata-san said.
“H-Hime-sama, the reward.”
Oda-san seemed to have noticed. A reward, in other words, the payment for this request.
Rias chuckled a little and said.
“The brassiere request aside, you don't need to pay about the incident of being targeted by the Hero Faction because we have to arrest them. However, let's see, regarding the brassiere request’s reward, [Let's have a peaceful talk over a cup of tea sometime]. How about this?”
Oda-san smiled at Rias’ proposal.
“Dearuka! Ah, I said it again. However, I understood. Rias-san, let's talk again sometime. That's right, next time I'll bring my best partner. ...He's a little perverted, but he's a good guy.”
“I'm used to perverts, so it's alright.”
Rias looked at me. Oda-san also looked at me and said [That seems to be the case]. I'm sorry for being a pervert!
We all said our goodbyes, and we watched the girls leave.
We could hear the girls happily talking as they parted.
“Well, so, let's call that guy who's waiting outside.”
“I'm sure that Sagara-senpai is sitting in an internet cafe looking at pornographic websites and muttering to himself, [Oh, I wish I went to a school full of high school girls]!”
”Well, since it's him, he would say something like that.”
“Ufufu, let's all have dinner together somewhere.”
“...I agree. I like the all-you-can-eat dessert place.”
“Yes, I want to eat cake with Yoshiharu-san!”
“Kukuku, dessert goes to another stomach.”
...He? Do they also have a male friend? A perverted man...it reminds me of that sworn friend I've just met, but I don't think it's possible.
Finally, I became curious, so I tried to ask Rias.
“By the way, those high school girls who were targeted by the remnants of the Hero Faction...”
“Well, who do you think they are descended from?”
She smiles meaningfully.
“...Oda...Akechi...Shibata...eh...? C-could it be!?”
Rias didn't answer. She just watched happily as the girls went away.
Well, if there was a next time, I'd ask who they were. It was not a bad idea to just wait and see.
And so the [Sengoku Bra] fiasco that suddenly happened came to an end.
