Morning, at the castle's long and grand dining table.
Mio didn't know why, apart from her, Maria and Noel. The other girls had little dark circles under their eyes. Last night they seemed to have stayed up late doing something, Mio was confused and wondered if she missed a good event? At this moment, she was a little regretful that last night she fell asleep early with Maria in her bedroom.
"Nee... Last night, what did you guys do?"
Mio's question was directed at all the girls at the dining table, but her gaze was fixed on Yuki whose eye bags were a little thicker than the others.
Yuki did not dare to look at Mio, or rather she glared at Rias and Akeno who were smiling and eating elegantly, she also ate and cut the sausage on her plate before saying.
"I didn't do anything and slept as usual."
"Yuki, you're lying! Hmpf. Don't you look in the mirror and see the bags under your eyes? The others are the same."
Sona and Tsubaki didn't say anything, they ate breakfast quietly. But the latter had been crammed with a lot of this and that knowledge on how to seduce a man and cook raw rice by Sona last night. Perhaps because Sona was too serious and Tsubaki couldn't resist, they did it until dawn.
The result now was that Tsubaki changed her appearance a bit. Although still wearing the school uniform like everyone else. Her long straight black hair, which was usually left loose. Now it was tied into a ponytail with a white hair tie. A white nape with a hint of cherry blossom hue that was fresh from bathing was exposed. Her aura also underwent a slight change, overall this girl became more feminine and beautiful, her style somewhat similar to Akeno who was currently staring at her with her 'Ara Ara' smile.
Heterochromic eyes behind Tsubaki's rimmed glasses certainly made her more different from Akeno, but with a figure that was no less voluptuous and large like the other Highschool DxD girls. Tsubaki this morning undoubtedly appeared more alluring, people sensing her Devil charm that was a little more lewd than usual.
Although Tsubaki was already popular like Rias, Akeno and Sona in the same third year as her. If Tsubaki walked into school looking like this, many male students would swallow hard and her popularity at school would definitely increase.
Unfortunately many of them would be heartbroken because Tsubaki dressed up like that for just one man!
That man was Eiji who currently still hadn't come out of his bedroom while everyone in their group was having breakfast.
"Mio, last night me, Yuki, Akeno and Kurumi watched a movie together in the bedroom. The movie was so fun that we lost track of time, right Yuki?"
Rias helped Yuki, but the blue-haired girl did not appreciate it at all. Yuki was expressionless, she nodded and said. "Yes, we did."
Still, Yuki couldn't help but remember what she watched last night. Her face slightly reddened, at the same time, she glanced at Basara who was also having breakfast with a little bit of guilt in her heart. Well, just a little of course because she couldn't get rid of the figure of Eiji and his rod that often crossed her mind. Last night her panties were wet just by watching that high-definition porn livestream.
Rias, Akeno and her younger sister, Kurumi laughed at that moment which made Yuki feel humiliated. She wondered if it felt that good? Sheila, Lucia and Zest looked very happy as they became bitches in the livestream. Yuki felt her bottom hole itch every time she thought about it.
Mio nodded and finally understood why Yuki and the other girls were like that. She thought Sona and Tsubaki were the same, so she continued with breakfast. Of course, she and Maria didn't forget to ask how Basara was doing after what happened yesterday.
She apologized on behalf of Eiji, her boyfriend for beating him up. Basara who had just woken up from his stupor this morning answered in a bit of a daze. Being defeated by Eiji in the sword fight yesterday made his protagonist mentality a little shaken.
The concerns of his two younger sisters comforted his heart, but his heart was again soured remembering Mio's relationship with Eiji. Maria and his aunt, Chisato were the same.
"I'm fine... And don't worry, yesterday I was the one who asked Eiji to compete with me. I lost, I don't blame him."
"That's good." Mio sighed, she looked relieved that Basara didn't hold grudges or anything like that against her man.
"Basara-san, Basara-san, eat more!"
"Oh, thank you Maria."
Maria added more side dishes to Basara's plate, there was a sweet smile on her loli face. Basara was happy, but what Maria said next made his mood sink.
"Hehe no problem. I'm your little sister after all."
'Little sister huh...'
This feeling again... Basara felt uncomfortable as if something went the wrong way and he had been robbed!
Even so, Basara did not know what was wrong either. After all Maria didn't say anything wrong, she and Mio were his younger sisters. What else did he expect? In the end he ate in silence after that, he avoided looking at girls like Rias, Sona, Tsubaki and Akeno for too long because he felt those girls didn't like him much. They certainly had spoken a few words, but their attitude towards him was basically cold.
It seemed that except for Eiji, they didn't want to get too close to other guys.
Basara did not mind this. However, he glanced at Yuki and wondered if she wasn't worried about him? This morning, she had not asked him at all!
"...."
Basara knew ever since he left Yuki in the middle of their date back then. Their relationship became more distant, initially it was a little better after they had a few chats at school. But now? This morning he felt Yuki was getting distant from him.
The girl only glanced at him briefly before talking to other girls, sometimes she inexplicably blushed a little which made Basara confused.
Even so, Basara felt that his head was heavier than usual.
If Eiji was here, he would see the illusion of a green hat on the head of Basara who lost his future wife because that woman kept thinking of other men.
As the owner of the castle, Ramusas was nowhere to be found. He didn't come to breakfast with them. Noel who usually served them was also now replaced by another maid who prepared breakfast.
Eiji and a few other women too...
What time was this? Why haven't they shown up yet?
Mio had just wanted to propose waking Eiji up because she thought he still wasn't awake.
But at this moment―
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Several very loud explosions sounded from outside, Mio and the others gasped and they naturally turned their heads towards the window.
They were dumbfounded because it was far outside the castle, precisely in the center of the city. They saw 10-meter-tall humanoid creatures suddenly appearing from the portal.
The previous explosions were from laser shots coming out of the creatures' eyes, and all the attacks destroyed many buildings with quite frightening force.
From here, Mio and the others could hear many screams and cries of despair from the demons living in Wildart city.
"Enemy attack?" As Rias got up from her chair and asked.
The projection screen suddenly appeared in front of them, old man Claus' face displayed with a serious expression.
"Everyone. Please don't go out of the castle, the people of the Demon Lord Faction infiltrated into the city, they seem to know Mio-sama's whereabouts, and want―"
The sound of an explosion was heard again and at the same time the projection screen went black and was replaced by the appearance of a person standing on the shoulders of one of the creatures attacking the city.
"Claus-san!" Basara was naturally worried about old man Claus as it seemed he was blown up by an enemy attack from somewhere.
"Toujou, be quiet! This guy seems to have something to say." Sona scolded Basara and gave him a sharp look.
Basara wanted to say something, but the girl's aura was too terrifying! He knew Sona and the other three girls were the devils of his school. They were not weak, but he had expected Sona to have such a strong aura. It was enough to make his body shiver slightly under her cold gaze.
Should he say as expected of the Eiji woman?
"In the name of Leohart we warn you. We know the daughter of the former Demon Lord is in this country."
"That girl will be a new seedling for conflict in Demon Realm."
"Hand her over now. Otherwise..."
The man who spoke with loudspeaker magic that was heard by everyone in the city was Gald, a famous High-Class Demon who was said to be one of the veterans who survived the Great War. Now that man was one of the new Demon Lord's subordinates, he was Leohart's subordinate who came from the Demon Lord Faction.
Unlike in the original work, he led more Heroic Spirit troops. The proof was besides the creatures called Heroic Spirits that had sprung up in the city. In the sky there were similar creatures that numbered in the hundreds.
As Gald said that, a concentrated purple light appeared in the eyes of the Heroic Spirit he was riding. That purple light quickly flew like a laser past Wildart's castle and blasted the back of the city.
Many of the demons living in the city were terrified at the sight of that destructive power.
Some of them started shouting for Mio to be handed over to the people of the Demon Lord Faction right now.
"It would be easier just to kill all the citizens as a statement and it would end faster."
"Swallow your own opinion. Nebra, your job is just to keep an eye on this operation and report to the people at the Demon Council."
"Of course, sir Gald. I will, but you know what? The person who killed sir Zolgear, according to our intelligence, is also here."
"I hope you, as a high-class demon, don't fail this operation."
Unlike Gald, Negra was only from the Demon Council and she was here to oversee the operation led by Gald. This many troops were not only prepared by the Demon Lord Faction, the Demon Council also contributed a portion just so they could successfully capture Demon Lord Wilbert's daughter.
Gald ignored the sarcastic smile of Negra who was flying not far beside him, he stared at the castle in the distance and ordered all his troops to advance and destroy more.
As for the one who killed Zolgear? Gald knew, but he wasn't anxious and confident with this much Heroic Spirit. Even Ramusas, Wilbert's older brother wouldn't be able to defeat this many troops.
...
Looking at the many gold and purple giants that continued to trample the city and citizens from the screen.
As the protagonist, Basara who heard those people coming to take Mio by force could not stay silent. He told Mio to stay inside the castle and he himself immediately left to face the enemy.
However, the girls were calmer than the original work.
Yuki had already activated her combat mode, her school uniform transformed into spirit armor with Sakuya's sword at her waist.
The girl was ready to catch up with Basara to face the enemy, but Rias grabbed her shoulder.
This scene was familiar...
"Yuki, where are you going?"
"To face the enemy, of course, Rias. Don't tell me you want to stop me?"
After the things that happened last night, Yuki no longer called Rias respectfully just because she was a senior in her school.
Rias shook her head, "No, but with your current power. I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."
"Rias, you underestimate me?" Yuki gripped Sakuya's handle at her waist, a green aura enveloping her. She glared at Rias unhappily.
She admitted she might not be as strong as Rias, but she wasn't that weak either, okay?
"Me too. I want..."
"Mio, you are their target. You're not that strong either. It's better that you stay here."
"How would we know without trying? Sona, don't underestimate me."
Mio pouted, she was not happy with Sona who also stopped her.
Rias and Sona were actually just stating the facts.
"Some of those giants have powers that almost reach those of ultimate-class creatures. And the rest are high-class creatures that number more than a hundred. That's what I feel from here." Rias said.
Sona added. "It's fine if there aren't that many. But this much number is definitely not something you guys can handle."
"What about you guys?"
Mio naturally separated girls like her, Yuki, Kurumi and Maria from Rias and Sona's group. She wondered if these girls wouldn't do anything?"
Sona held her own chin, she was gauging the presentation of victory just by looking at their enemy's appearance from the monitoring screen.
"Akeno and Tsubaki will have a hard time too. But me and Rias can do it."
"Then go for it! By the way why didn't you stop Basara?"
Yuki could not help but ask. Basara just ran out of the castle, but Rias and Sona didn't say anything when they saw this. Her lips twitching, she could actually guess that these girls just didn't care about other men besides Eiji.
"Well... I'm sure you already know the answer. As for why we haven't come forward yet? Wait a moment. Didn't Maria say she was going to call Eiji? With Eiji, those enemies can be handled more easily."
What Sona said made the other girls besides Rias remember that Maria had also recently run up and said she would call Eiji and her older sister. Oh and also her mother.
Now that you mention it. What exactly is Eiji doing? He still hasn't come until now!
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
That was Eiji's voice.
The man had finally come. He entered the dining room and walked towards them. But it wasn't just him, besides Maria who was walking beside him. There was Maria's older sister, Lucia. Sheila and Zest also appeared. Lastly, there was also Noel who had a slight blush on her cheeks.
Hm....
Lucia, Sheila and Zest too. The three women looked even more beautiful than yesterday. Their skin was shining and more lustrous. Vaguely, there was Eiji's scent mixed in their bodies.
Girls like Yuki, Rias and the others who were watching the livestream last night knew the details. But what confused them was...
Why did Noel also look strange? She wasn't like the other three girls, but the blush on her cheeks clearly showed that not long ago something happened to her.
And it must have something to do with Eiji.
"...." Seeing the girls staring at him in silence, Eiji was not at all anxious about the city destruction scene shown on the screen.
He only felt a little guilty that he had arrived late. Women like Lucia, Sheila and Zest were more durable than he thought. They had actually finished exercising an hour ago, but Noel then came and wanted to confirm about her now being assigned as his servant by Ramusas.
The woman seemed conflicted, she still thought about her childhood friend, Lars and definitely had reluctance to become his servant because she knew what would happen to her afterwards. Eiji had to convince Noel with a few things.
Leave the details aside for later. For now...
[This plot is still the same as in the original work. But at the same time it's also a little different because the people of the Demon Lord Faction and the Demon Council sent more Heroic Spirit troops.]
[It was a kind of armored, biomechanical giant that was actually a relic from the Demon God War in the past. These people like to fight using toys rather than using their own power.]
[But hey Basara, what are you doing?! Why are you advancing alone? Just like in the original work, you're also still getting blasted by the surprise attack of the High-Level Heroic Spirit. Although I'm reluctant, for Chisato's sake, I'll help you.]
On the other side.
Chisato was anxious when she heard that something bad happened to her nephew. Killing intent filled the school health room, but she soon calmed down and was relieved to hear that Eiji would help Basara.
"Eiji... I didn't expect him to be willing to help Basara for my sake. This guy isn't that bad."
"After they go home. I should probably give him some sweetness."
Chisato sounded indifferent as she said that, but the raised corners of her mouth betrayed her.
The beautiful woman smiled, her smile as beautiful as a honey-coated flower. Too bad Ornis died without having the chance to see this smile on his goddess' face.
Poor Ornis.
The men out there including Eiji were also the same. But the last one, it wouldn't take long for him to be able to see goddess Chisato's smile to his heart's content. He could also... Cough, cough.
At this moment, under the gaze of all the stunned girls.
Eiji's silver hair gradually turned black, his crimson eyes became increasingly red like blood and had magic circles shining in them.
Standing on the castle fence, he stared at the enemy troops calmly.
So calm that all the heroic spirits commanded by Gald suddenly stopped and all looked at Eiji.
"What's going on?"
Gald who had lost one of his arms to Basara's sword and was angry that Nebra had suddenly interrupted his battle with his son Jin Toujou and made a surprise attack on the boy.
He was confused because the atmosphere that had previously been full of explosions suddenly became silent.
Basara who was kneeling on the ground did not faint immediately like in the original work. He was a little stronger, but just like Gald, he stared at the giants who stopped and looked at the castle in confusion.
