High School DxD DX - Volume 5 - Chapter 7

Life.7 Superhero Trial 

This happened when we were doing our devil job in the [Hyoudou Issei Peerage Office]. 

We received a certain request through a magic circle of communication. 

I certainly want your cooperation.? 

It was a request by people with whom I’m familiar. 

Then, on my next holiday, I received the request together with my peerage who were: Asia, Xenovia, Rossweisse and Ravel (Although they aren't from my peerage, I brought together Irina and Elmenhilde too). 

We were going to teleport to the place requested, but..... as it was unnecessary, we walked there by foot. 

It was a business enterprise building in the neighbouring town. 

The restaurant of this company is open to ordinary guests on the forenoon, so we students could enter. 

We didn't stop on the restaurant floor and went through a corridor; there, a janitor was cleaning with a mop and he looked at us. 

Confirming our appearances, the janitor took out his cap and turned towards here. 

"I'm sorry for having you guys come here". 

The janitor who said this was???Cao Cao! The leader of Hero Faction! To think he would work as a janitor in a business enterprise! 

Looking at his own work and we who were surprised at it, Cao Cao gave a little laugh. 

"Haha, the Holy Spear user is a janitor". 

No, no, somehow, he's making a face like he said something clever! 

We went toward the roof of the building together with Cao Cao when his job ended. There,  Cao Cao said, 

"To tell the truth, the one who made the request to you guys was???We the Hero faction. We want the cooperation of you guys in one of our activities. Or rather, if you guys don't cooperate, it's probably impossible to do it". 

He said this kind of thing while dressed as a janitor. 

Xenovia said. 

"Hmm, cooperation with the Hero Faction? However, I heard that because all the bad things that you guys did, other than the tournament, basically, all other activities of you guys were ceased? Rather, if you guys were to make a move, you all would be purged". 

That's right, as Xenovia said, the Hero Faction was originally a group of terrorists affiliated with the?Khaos Brigade?. They carried out terrorist actions against every faction and even caused a big incident like the ?Demonic Beast Riot?. 

To the public, they were disbanded. 

However, they were picked up by the Heavenly Emperor of Mount Meru, Indra, and under the title of [Sakra’s Vanguard] were included as one of the organisations of Mount Meru. With Indra being responsible to supervise them, if they worked for Indra, their activities would be pardoned. 

Of course, they were being controlled. If they do something strange, they'll be purged by those of the God-class. 

Precisely because they are being watched to this extent, they were able to join the current International Rating Game Tournament that is being hosted, but..... 

Although, this doesn't change the fact that they are ex-terrorists. The fact that they ask for cooperation from us, who are members of team ?D×D?, is..... 

Ravel said as if she understood the request of Cao Cao. 

"If you have our cooperation, the cooperation of people related with?D×D?or the Sekiryuutei, it becomes possible..... this is what you want to say, right?" 

Cao Cao nodded at Ravel's question. 

"As expected of Sekiryuutei’s tactician . It helps that you understand it fast". 

Cao Cao said. 

"To be honest, since we entered the tournament, there are candidates who want to join our team appearing one after another. For some time, we refused them, but...... for a moment, 

, this was the opinion between my comrades". 

I see, I see, so it had this kind of circumstance. 

Well, these guys were playing an active role like an irresistible force in the tournament after all. Sacred Gear possessors who are confident in their powers, would start considering joining it. 

Or rather, if it's a person who can be beneficial, they probably would want them as their battle power. 

Cao Cao continued talking. 

"However, we made that incident in the past. We are people charged with crimes. If we increase our battle power as we please we'll be sentenced to death. ......With this assumption in mind, we asked our boss???Indra". 

Well, if you were to do it together with the?D×D? bunch  who are seen as the allies of justice by the public...... Especially that Sekiryuutei brat, if he were to look at it from up close, everything would be alright, don't you think so? ? 

And, looks like Indra replied like that. 

Cao Cao said once again. 

"As there was this kind of thing too, I would like to ask for your cooperation. I would like you to be a trial inspector for those taking the test, but..... of course, we are the ones that'll be arranging the trial, so we won't take your time". 

So it was like this. 

Well, if it was last year, I would immediately refuse it, but..... my relationship with these guys changed in various ways. 

"I don't particularly care. However, only if my schedule permits". 

I replied like this. 

The peerage members and Irina had mixed feelings, but seems like they came to the conclusion that, if I was alright with, so were they. 

Ravel gave her Ok too. 

But, she had something she was curious about, so she asked Cao Cao. 

"By the way, why are you working on this building?" 

That's right! I was curious about this too! I mean, Cao Cao being a janitor, there should be a limit to unexpected things. 

Cao Cao shrugged his shoulders. 

"Because of my position, I infiltrated various places. And, to learn about the current information and state of mind of humans, working like this is a good way. And, simply because we have financial problems". 

Ravel said. 

"Financial problems..... I heard from rumours that the Hero Faction lacks funds". 

I see, I see, so there was this kind of rumour. 

Saying, “You are really sharp,” to Ravel, Cao Cao showed an ironic smile, but he attested to Ravel words. 

"We have our circumstances you see, perpetual poverty. Although, there's no problem in the money to pay you guys. At least this much we can arrange". 

Cao Cao replied like this, but..... 

Is that so? So these guys have a problem with money. 

Elmenhilde whispered in my ear. 

[I heard that they are sending support money for the reconstruction of every city that they destroyed while they were affiliated with [Khaos Brigade]. ) 

So they are paying for their deeds like this...... That's why they are in perpetual poverty. I mean the harm caused by the ?Demonic Beast Riot?that they made is considerably big..... 

While hearing this kind of internal condition, it was decided that we are going to be in the role of a inspector for those taking the test of the Hero Faction in the next holiday??? 

And then, on the next holiday??? 

We came to the meeting place, where the new members trying to enter the Hero Faction will be taking their test..... We came to Tokyo! 

I was told that this is [One of the territories of Indra], seems like they are borrowing the influence from one of the institutions of Indra in the neighbourhood. 

Certainly, there is the [Shibamata FuriganaTemplate:Taishakuten]..... 

We started our role as an inspector in the meeting place arranged for the trial in a vast space in the underground of Shibamata. 

As the roof is high and the sides wide, one can take quite the flash actions here. I heard that there are various places like this. 

However, we the people who possess superpowers or those from the supernatural side, really have supplies of this kind of underground space. Or rather, don't the big shots have too many of this kind of space? 

While I had this kind of doubt in my mind, in total, there were a little less than 200 candidates who appeared in this place to take the enrolment test. 

Everyone had brave faces. 

There were many men with a good physique. The women too, there were only women with heroic appearances, making one think of them as a fearless fighter. 

All of them were Humans with confidence in their abilities. 

Naturally, there are those with Sacred Gear among them too. And looks like those who are descendents of Heroes or???those who inherited their souls came too. 

In other words, for a normal human, those guys gathered here are humans with incredible powers. 

.....It was supposed to be like that, but. 

".....He-hey, that's the Sekiryuutei". 

"Xenovia Quarta, Shidou Irina and Rossweisse are there too". 

"Why is the?Sekiryuutei of the Blazing Truth?team here......?" 

The people who were going to take the test, all showed the same fearful expression when they perceived us. 

Ravel said. 

"If we were to look for the perspective of a Human who holds superpower, we don't even need to mention Ise-sama, but everyone else too, it isn't a talk if we are on the level of strong people or not. Those could be bad words, but it's natural for them to see us as monsters. We did go wild in the tournament to that extent after all". 

......I see, so from the perspective of a Human warrior who holds superpower, we are seen like that. Because we did many things with the momentum of breaking the field..... that currently it became like this. 

While this kind of thing happened, Georg from the Hero Faction stood on a platform that was made in this meeting place. His voice vibrated while speaking through a megaphone. 

Eh? the people gathered here. Today???? 

In this way the ?The test for the new members of the Hero Faction?started. 

The first test was a written examination. 

In an adjacent space of the meeting place, desks and chairs were provided, the written examination was being done there. 

Seems like they were told in advance that there would be a written examination, so the warrior taking the test took out their respectively writing materials and studied for the last time 

......It's like a written examination for a student. Well, because it's a test, so it's natural, but a warrior taking a written examination is...... 

To us who were waiting in the corner of the space where the written examination was being done, a handsome man with brown hair???Perseus said. 

"Well, that just means that one needs to have at the very least this much of intelligence. Ah, take this, it's grass dumplings". 

Then, I received the speciality of Shibamata, grass dumplings, but..... 

Because we are only watching it, so it's alright. Although Ravel is very interested in it, it looks like she thinks that we can grasp the power of the opponent for when we need it later. 

The exam paper sheets were distributed on the desk of the members taking the test of the Hero faction. The teacher was???Rossweisse-san. 

Because she's a teacher, she became the person in charge of it voluntarily. 

"Hey! you there! Refrain yourself from whispering! The woman there too, to use makeup before the exam, please!" 

She was sharply checking the attitude of the examinees. As expected of a teacher. She was harsh even before the test. 

After distributing the exam sheets, when everyone was waiting in silence, Rossweisse-san??? 

"You can start it". 

And together with her voice, the written examination started. 

In the silent space, only the sound of pens writing in the exam sheets could be heard. 

......Well, to just watch it silently is a little too much, so I checked the details of the exam. 

The details of the exam were basically about Heroes, every mythology and the current state of mind of the supernatural world. From history to modern society all kinds of questions related to superpowers and the supernatural world appeared. 

There are questions about certain Heroes from Europe and even from the Sengoku period of Japan. .....I'm not confident about passing this exam. 

Then, suddenly, I ended on a question that I was curious about. 

"The name of your subspecies Balance Breaker is a question!?" 

I retorted to Cao Cao who suddenly sat in a chair by my side. 

To write the name of Cao Cao subspecies Balance Breaker..... what the hell is this! 

Cao Cao suddenly laughed. 

"Because I'm participating in the tournament too, it would be bad if they don't even know the name of the Balance Breaker of their leader, me". 

Even if you say that, even among the Balance Breakers that I know, yours is one of those with considerably long and troublesome names, you know? 

But, I remember it. Polar Night Longinus Chakravartin! How is it, amazing right? 

By the way, the Balance Breakers that I have problems in remembering their names are Gyasuke's ?Forbidden Invade Balor the Beast?, Ikuse-san's ?Perfectus Tenebrae Lykaon et Fortis Densus Laelaps?and Dulio's?Flagello di Colori dell'Arcobaleno, Speranza di Briscola?. No? everyone is too absorbed in the names of the subspecies Balance Breakers...... Well, I think that I remember them for the most part. However, we have a fellowship and it's a valuable Balance Breaker of a comrade, so it would be bad if we don't remember it...... 

Hercules said while scratching the back of his head. 

"......Even though the name of Cao Cao's Balance Breaker alone is already troublesome, there are questions about the crazy names of the Balance Breakers of the other Longinus' too". 

As Hercules said, just as I was thinking about the name of the Balance Breaker of Gyasuke and the others, it appeared as a question in the written exam. ......It's difficult to become a member of the Hero Faction. 

Cao Cao complemented. 

"Look here". 

Looking at the next question of the previous one??? 

Cao Cao said. 

"Of course, I'll have them know the name of the normal Balance Breaker too". 

Ah, I don't know the answer to this one too. 

Because the subspecies one is too long, I ended up remembering it and somehow, the normal one just didn't enter my head! Or rather, it's no good to be unable to respond to the name of the normal Balance Breaker! You! It's not this one! 

If I don't remember it wrong, True Longinus was part of the name.....right? And there was something about white night too... 

"Look at this, Ise". 

Xenovia pointed at a question in the written exam. 

"...... Even the lyrics of [Oppai Dragon song] became a question!" 

Even my song became a question, what should I say about this...... 

"You can feel relieved. We contacted the Gremory household, so we won't have troubles with copyright". 

And Cao Cao said something like this..... no, for me that's not the problem. 

"Dammit, I can't remember the third verse". 

"Was it about flying? or about pushing......?" 

"I only know about zoom-zoom iyaaan......" 

Look at that! The examinees were hugging their heads as they struggled against the lyrics! If it's a person not interested in it, this is something from a completely different territory! 

Asia asked me with a perplexed expression. 

"I-Ise-san, this question......". 

I moved my eyes to the question that Asia mentioned??? 

"Why, this kind of thing is being asked in a place like this!? This has nothing to do with this!" 

I suddenly started retorting them! It's only natural! Why is that rare book, with me and Kiba as a theme that is popular among some people of Kuou Academy, being questioned here!? This isn’t something like just rare information, you know!? If there's an examinee who came here and is able to respond to this, this person is considerably fearsome! I absolutely don't want to socialize with this person! 

"Seems like there are fans of this book among our female members. So we used it as one of the difficult problems". 

Cao Cao replied like this! 

Serious!? that book is circulating even in the Hero faction!? 

"I quite like it, you know? I cried in volume 17". 

Jeane from the Hero faction said this without hesitation! Jeane-san!? What's the meaning of this!? This is a difficult problem for me! 

Xenovia said while sighing. 

"As a Kaichou, I heard about it, but there are rumours that this book is being reprinted in secret. I was curious, so I sent Ouryuu and Millarca to spy it". 

......Like always that guy, Nakiri is being asked to-do strange things by Xenovia...... 

No, ......I see, so It's being reprinted......  I need to find where it's being reprinted and stop it! I vowed like this inside my mind. 

Suddenly, A face that I'm familiar with was reflected in my eyes. 

"......I already went to Kuoh Academy once, but it's this kind of thing popular there?" 

"As expected, that place is outrageous!" 

Ah, that's the girl who previously came to Kuoh Academy wanting to inquire about a black bra, the girl on her side is one of the girls who came together that time too. 

Arara, so these girls are taking the test to enter the Hero faction too? 

Which reminds me, Cao Cao too, had a little participation in that incident. 

While this happened, the written examination ended safely. 

The next and the last test is a practical skill test. 

After the written examination, Magic and superpowers were quickly graded. We threw people at a problems too (We cooperated in this one), after a few hours the grading ended. 

26 people passed the written examination. 

......26 people completely knew and wrote down the third verse of [Oppai Dragon song]. I could only say that this was menacing. The hero faction is terrible...... 

The examiners for the practical skill test are Hercules and Perseus. 

The two of them were yawning with boredom while the written examination was happening, now that it's time for the practical skill test, they are suddenly filled with the spirit to do it. 

Hercules stood with his arms crossed boldly before those who passed the written examination. 

"Hahahaha, It's better if you guys don't think that this practical skill test will be the same as the paper test, you know? After all, if you guys don't have the skills to convince the leaders you guys won't be passing this!" 

Perseus said while skillfully spinning his sword. 

"You can freely use any kind of Sacred Gear, superpower, or magic. because we want someone who can be immediately used in the tournament. The opponents are Legendary monsters and especially, Gods. That's why, if you were to use a half-hearted method, you won't progress from here!" 

In this way, The practical skill test started with these two examiners of the physical faction. 

The kind of warrior that the Hero faction desires are...... as expected, considerably hard to find. The examinees of this time too had an inevitable hard fight in their practical test. 

While watching Hercules and Perseus sending the examinees flying, I asked Cao Cao. 

"Probably there are those who are confident in their skills, but failed the written examination, right?" 

I said like this. 

From the guys who failed the previous written test, I have a hunch that apart from their knowledge, their physical abilities were excellent. In addition to that, the test had that kind of details. 

Georg said while raising his glasses. 

"Of course, those who failed, are taking a supplementary test in another space. However, the real intention of the Hero faction is to find someone who knows about us and those we'll probably be fighting against in the tournament from now on, at least the minimum possible". 

Ah, so those people who failed the written examination have a lifeline. I mean, it would be a waste if one of them has a powerful ability, but won't be rewarded because of that test. I would even want to introduce myself to them. 

Suddenly, Georg smiled. 

"However, humour, or rather, it's certain that we want flexibility. Because we don't have that we were defeated by you guys. Well, It's not like I don't like the current team". 

Cao Cao and Georg looked at Hercules and Perseus who were doing the practical skill test. 

"Ora, ora, at least show me a punch which can send me flying!" 

"Ohh, the Ojou-chan there. You're cute, how old are you? What do you like to eat?" 

While encouraging and sending the examinees flying was Hercules and on the other side, Perseus was courting the female warriors while evading their attacks. This practical skill test had a completely different atmosphere from the brutal one it was supposed to have. 

It's hard to think of them as that Hero faction who was just a mass of hostility and fighting spirit. It was like a club of the Hero faction. 

Cao Cao, Georg and Jeane were watching it while eating grass dumplings too...... 

Then, in this practical test too, finally a tough person appeared. 

The first to stand out was???. 

"I'm called, Momono  Kibitsuhiko!" 

It was a Young, Japanese-looking man dressed with a battle surcoat and a headband. 

On his surroundings..... A monkey with more or less 3 metres of height, a giant dog. Suddenly, the man raised his hand???and a giant raven appeared on the air. 

Ravel said. 

"A monkey Youkai who experienced many years, a Dog God...... and a raven coming from China, probably?" 

She guessed like this. Ah? it's not the same Dog God like Jin from Ikuse-san, it's a Youkai Dog God. 

Momono.....Kibitsuhiko.....? followed by three Youkais? Somehow he reminds me of that character that every Japanese knows, but..... 

The man said. 

"I'm the person who inherited the soul of Momotarou who was also known as Kibitsuhiko-no-Mikoto!" 

Ooh, it's really Momotarou! Which reminds me, he's a person who is said to have existed long ago! That's why a Monkey, Dog and Green Pheasant...... or rather, a Raven. 

Hercules asked Momotarou-san. 

"Apart from the Dog and the Monkey, what happened with the Pheasant? that's not a Pheasant Youkai, right?" 

The man showed a painful face. 

"......There's no Pheasant Youkai. However, even if I were to bring a normal Pheasant here......". 

Looks like he has some painful circumstances. Well, even if he were to bring a Pheasant it couldn't be helped...... 

Hercules was convinced with an inexpressible face and took his stance. 

"Oh well, come!" 

Momotarou-san took out a katana from his waist and charged at Hercules, together with his three companion youkai's! 

"Toyaaaa!" 

Surprisingly! Momotarou-san skills with the sword were quite splendid, he got to grips with Hercules and skillfully using his companions, was toying with Hercules. 

"No bad". 

"Yes". 

Cao Cao and Georg look impressed by this. 

While this kind of examinee appeared too, finally, on Perseus' side, someone skilled appeared. 

Dressed in a Chinese gallant costume...... An extremely cute young girl appeared! 

She held a folding fan of feathers in her hand and boldly introduced herself to Perseus. 

"I'm a descendent of Zhuge Liang, the current Zhuge Liang!" 

She introduced herself with a cute voice! 

Serious!? A descendent of.....Koumei!? Oooohh! This is amazing! In the team led by Cao Cao, the descendent of Koumei appeared! However, she's a Loli! 

Cao Cao too, showed a smile filled with interest. 

Perseus laughed with joy too. 

"Hey there, small strategist-dono. Could it be that you are lost in our leader’s place?" 

Perseus was underestimating the young girl Koumei. 

However, the eyes of the young girl Koumei shined and she pointed her folding fan to the ground. 

"Drill!" 

She shouted like this...... but nothing happened. 

"Arara, what happened, what happened?" 

It happened when Perseus tried to take a step forward while laughing. 

Together with a dry sound, a hole opened at Perseus’ feet. in that way Perseus???. 

"AAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 

He fell on the hole! 

Next, Koumei turned her folding fan towards the air and shouted [Put!]. 

............A few seconds passed since Perseus fell. Perseus raised a voice from the hole [Touu!] and jumped out of it! 

"A hole of this extent???". 

Gashaaa! Perseus was saying something, but a block manifested above his head and with the good momentum of his jump, he hit with his head there! 

"~~~~!!!" 

Because while he was coming back from the hole, a block appeared above his head and he hit it, he was releasing a soundless shout of anguish in the place while throbbing. 

Koumei said proudly. 

"How is it? This is my Sacred Gear, ?Strategic Trap?it can generate simple traps wherever I want". 

Ooh, so there's this kind of Sacred Gear too. 

"...............Kuh!" 

Perseus who lost his composure to a certain extent tried to approach Koumei, but blocks and holes appeared everywhere and interfered with the path. 

"Ahahahaha, she is leading Perseus around by the nose". 

Cao Cao looked considerably satisfied by the Perseus vs, Young girl Koumei test. 

Looks like Momotarou-san and Koumei-chan are approved. 

However, how should I put this? There isn't a strong woman warrior around? 

As I looked toward the examinees with a lewd heart, Cao Cao came asking me. 

"Do you want to fight against a female warrior?" 

Cao Cao came saying this as if he understood what I was thinking! Good grief, this guy who’s specialized in technique, just by only looking at my attitude can he understand this? 

Xenovia said. 

"It's because Ise was releasing a lewd looking aura". 

That's right.? 

My female comrades said in unison. 

Seriously!? So a lewd aura was being released..... 

Cao Cao said. 

"Looks like, especially requesting the Sekiryuutei to be the examiner this time, will have a big meaning. If you are alright, would you like to participate?" 

Ah? If I as an examiner were to participate, it would prove the necessity and transparency of this trial,  there's this kind of aim too, right? 

Jeane said. 

"Sekiryuutei, if it's a cute child, there’s  one among those who passed the written examination, you know? Right, Georg? The one with the red hood". 

Georg said while raising his glasses. 

"Red hood.....Ahh that?Little Red Riding Hood?as the theme. However, that's a little???". 

Interrupting what Georg was trying to say, Jeane said to me. 

"That's right, ?Little Red Riding Hood?. I think it’ll be a good opponent to the Sekiryuutei, It would certainly be good if you were it’s opponent". 

I thought that her words somehow had a hidden meaning, but..... well, a?Little Red Riding Hood?as the theme probably wouldn't be too bad. 

However, a ?Little Red Riding Hood?Hero? It's really just that? I don't know about this kind of thing very well, but..... I want it to be a beautiful girl! 

I left the supervision seat and stood before the examinees. 

I said with a little expectation. 

"The person with a red hood, are you there? It was decided that I'll be your opponent". 

I said like this to the examinees, then???. 

"Hey there......". 

It was a deep voice that I'm familiar with hearing. 

The face downward of the person covered by a red hood, denied it to be a beautiful girl. An incredible thick neck, a massive chest, two arms like the trunks of a big tree, legs wider than my waist......! A two-meter giant! And the face of an old person disproportioned with this magnificent youthful body! 

" I'm the?Little Red Riding Hood?......". 

The person who appeared covered by a red hood saying this. was His Eminence Vasco Strada disguised as?Little Red Riding Hood?!! 

My eyes flew out of their socket of surprise! 

"No, no, no, that's a lie right!? It's His Eminence! It's definitely His Eminence! No matter from where you look it's His Eminence! From where this person is a female warrior, JEEAAANNEEE!!!!!!!!!!" 

I started protesting against Jeane who was seated on the seat used by leaders. 

Jeane only showed an amused smile. 

"Ara? I didn't say even once that it was a cute girl, you know? I only said that it was a cute child, right? Ah, but, the cute child could be  His Eminence". 

C-certainly, she probably didn't say it was a girl, but......! The cute child you said is His Eminence, what the hell is this! 

However, it shouldn't be like this! If it was that Yeti also known as Snow gorilla, or that pervert known as Mil-tan, it would be better than this, but for His Eminence to appear here! 

Moreover, He's dressed in women's clothes, he even put on makeup!! On his hand there's a basket!  You are an elderly person in your eighties! There are limits even to be unreasonable! 

An outrageous?Little Red Riding Hood?, that looks like would be able to make the wolf run away trembling was standing before me! 

Asia, Xenovia and Irina, when this important person from the Church appeared, the Church trio started praying. ......So it's alright even if he's dressed in ?Little Red Riding Hood? appearance...... 

I swallowed the saliva in my mouth and calmly asked. 

"B-by the way, why are you here......?" 

His Eminence said a little voice. 

"I was asked in absolute secrecy, to watch if the Hero faction would do the trial properly. Fu fu fu, of course, it was a needless concern". 

Ah, I see, the same as us. If His Eminence were to disguise himself as a woman and infiltrated among the examinees, he could spy on the moves of the Hero faction with security. 

It's hard being an ex-terrorist too. Well, this just shows that they did things to deserve this. 

Then, As I understood the circumstances of His Eminence, It would be good if we let each other go as two people with the same work in this place. 

I started retreating backwards little by little. 

"His Eminence..... I said wrong,?Little Red Riding Hood?-chan, what do you think of having Jeane as the opponent ?" 

I said like this, but the mentioned ?Little Red Riding Hood?-chan, showed a deep complacent smile and said. 

"No, no, I really want to fight against the Sekiryuutei-san~". 

He said something like this with his deep voice on purpose! 

I was fully motivated to evade this situation, but ?Little Red Riding Hood?-chan, trembled her muscles and while tearing the costume everywhere took a posture aiming her fist at me! 

"Sekiryuutei-san, Sekiryuutei-san, please, give me a lesson, so that I can defeat the scary wolf". 

"The only scary wolf to you would be something from Fenrir-class, right!? I don't want this!!! I don't want to fight against this ?Little Red Riding Hood?-chan!!" 

I felt like being ready to run away a little, but while shedding tears I made my determination, wore the armour and became the test opponent for ?Little Red Riding Hood?-chan???. 

Later, the results of that trial were brought to us in the [Hyoudou Issei Peerage Office]. 

Including Momotarou and young girl Koumei, many others were approved. 

As for the ?Little Red Riding Hood?...... Well, she was approved, but looks like she declined it. Or rather, if I think about it now, since His Eminence Strada passed the written examination, there's the possibility of him knowing the lyrics of [Oppai Dragon song]...... 

"It's about His Eminence we are talking, it wouldn't be weird if he knew about that book of you and Kiba". 

Xenovia said something like this. 

.....That is absolutely unpleasant! Or rather, I need to quickly stop the reprinting of that book! 

Suddenly, Ravel came reporting. 

"Ise-sama, another request from the Hero faction arrived, they want you to accompany them in searching the origin of the fairy tales throughout the world......". 

The origin of fairy tales!? The vision of His Eminence dressed as Snow White and Cinderella flashed in my mind! I can only feel a bad presentiment about it! 

"......Reply that we'll do it at the next opportunity!" 

For a while, the phenomenon of me seeing the girls who appeared in the fairy tales as His Eminence Strada continued???.
