High School DxD - Volume 12.5 - Chapter 2

Life.2 Dragon-God and Panties! 

We were having a light meal at the food court. Ophis was having doughnuts full of zest. I understood it after observing however, she eats everything but, within that she loves having sweets. 

“I, like doughnuts, cookies.” 

The idea of a Dragon God getting fat doesn't seem likely so she must be eating sweet things as much as she likes. More like, do Dragon Gods even have an empty stomach? The riddles never end. 

Now then, shopping is nearly done. Left is….only Ophis' underwear! Yes, underwear of girls! 

------That’s right, let’s go to buy panties! 

We visited the girl’s underwear corner. 

……Somehow, it’s an inexpressible feeling. I thought I had no destiny with places like this. Hey, a girl’s underwear corner is like, only the chosen males can step into the place right? 

Only a boyfriend accompanying his girlfriend, or a husband accompanying the wife, or a father accompanying can enter. 

I am….. a boyfriend accompanying his girlfriend? I want to go like that however, but isn't it more appropriate to call this situation a male accompanying the family for shopping? 

It’s fine even with that! I have finally stepped into the forbidden place! It’s fine to call Ophis the entrance exchange ticket for the underwear corner! 

……Hey, hey, aren't there large small, various types of bra, panties lined up……! From the orthodox white panties to transparent lacy ones.….! 

Above all the atmosphere inside the store is grandeur! The illumination dazzlingly shining on the underwear, all the shelves exhibiting the goods are all designer and have flowers! 

Ah! That Brassiere……..huge! What a hugeness! Boobs fitting into that are something else without doubt! 

Ooh! This small Brassiere over here has taste, isn't it great! 

I see, the choices are narrower in the bigger sizes. Normal size brassieres are rich in variety, and it can be used for more purposes. 

It’s the same as a rating game. Having power doesn't mean it’s good. The one with more numbers can adapt to the circumstances. However, I dare to choose a power challenge. 

------Power (Big Breasts) are good. Since it’s power (Big Breasts) it’s good. 

In my middle school years, I was excited just by looking at a mannequin wearing underwear for show. There’s something irresistible of looking at it close by. This distance, this air, only the chosen ones can get this place…….scenery……..! 

For this Shangri-La to be so close to me……..! 

That’s right, I am good with this happiness! This happiness suits me! 

“………..No way, that person……….who would he be accompanying?” 

“I can’t think of him having a girlfriend……it can’t be….. a pervert?” 

The female customers were looking at me with suspicious eyes and nodding with an inexpressible feeling. ………It’s expected if I am separated from Rias and Ophis. This is a magnificent unexplored region for the perverted me, however if I make one wrong step, then it’s a makyo [2] where danger might rain down. 

“Ophis which one do you want?” 

“I, don’t know.” 

“Then, a coloured one is good. Which one is your favourite colour?” 

“……….Black.” 

“That’s right, that colour will suit you. How is this? …….The size may be a bit too big.” 

“Should I make them bigger? My, breasts are smooth and flat.” 

“You may be able to change your breasts into whatever you like however, for your height, the size right now is natural.” 

While holding underwear in their hands, Rias and Ophis, they started looking. The sight of Rias helping out Ophis was for some reason I feel like an elder sister…….like a mother! I guess it’s what you called maternal characteristics. I feel like Rias has plenty of maternal characteristics. Yeah, you get yourself wanting to be pampered by her! 

While having divine thoughts like that, the conversation of the girls nearby 

“Look at it, Asia! At this bold underwear!” 

“Hauuu!..............There’s a hole on it, Xenovia-san!” 

“Yeah, the butt is completely visible. It’s already not doing the job of underwear. Don’t you think this one is for dates? Hey, Irina.” 

“D-Don’t ask me! I am a Christian! I have decided on pure white underwear!” 

“Eh….however, I feel like recently Irina-san bought pink coloured underwear with a bear print on it……” 

“Asia-saaaaaan! Why do you know that!? Nooo! You saw me!” 

“The Lord won’t be angry with bears, Irina. Even I recently tried a transparent type.” 

“Really, Xenovia! It’s surely defiance like a lesser devil!” 

“Fufufu, since I am a devil as well. Asia, I am one step forward than you. And also, I will win in this battle of making children with Ise by buying these panties with a hole showing the whole butt.” 

“Hauuu! N-No way! If I want to get more and more close with Ise-san, I have to wear t-this underwear…..! No, because I will wear this, I can get closer to Rias-oneesama! I-I’ll buy it as well!” 

“Eeeeeeeeee! Xenovia and…..Asia as well will buy those panties!? More like, it’s once again becoming like that! Aaaaaah, Oh Lord, and Michael-sama, what should I do! By buying these panties with a hole showing the whole butt, will my faith increase!” 

-----like that, well, in front of the panties with a hole showing the whole butt, Xenovia, Asia and Irina, the church trio were making their resolve and worrying. 

……These three also came to the department to shop huh. And not to mention of all things, for it to be the underwear corner…… 

“…….What are you all doing…..” 

When I say that with my eyes half opened while sighing, those three turned back, and had surprised figures. 

However, Xenovia immediately changed her feelings, and asks me seriously. 

“Perfect timing, Ise. Who’s the one between us 3 on whom this underwear with a hole in it will suit? Your opinion shall become the greatest reply!” 

What am I being asked so suddenly! 

“……..” 

“……..” 

Aah, Asia and Irina as well are waiting for my answer with serious expressions! 

What’s with you all, geez! Why am I being asked about who the panties with a hole showing the whole butt would suit among the 3 at the underwear corner! Hey hey, the other customers are sending strange glances! 

How should I answer? All three’s expressions are serious. No, don’t say that….. 

Meh, well. For the time being, let’s let it flow suitably. 

“Um, then, how about Irina?” 

Was the moment when I said that. Irina's face becomes pure red, and she twisted her body. 

“…..I-if I fall at a place like this it’s going to be troublesome, bear it, Irina……! But, But, Ise-kun said that it would suit me…..! What should I do! Fuhehehe, it feels like I will become a fallen angel!” 

While holding her face, it felt like she was frantically fighting something. ……..I-If she opens her wings here, it will probably become very terrible…… 

“I’ll buy it! I’ll buy this!” 

Irina took the underwear in front of her and ran towards the counter! 

“Wait, Irina! I will buy it!” 

Xenovia and Asia chased after her. 

…….Those 3 are always high tension. It’s a good thing that they’re friends. 

In front of those three my mouth slipped but, when I sent my gaze to a different direction, a rare scene came into view. 

“Are you going to get that flashy underwear, Akeno?” 

“Yeah, Sona. Ise-kun is happy with these types.” 

It was combination of Sona Kaichou----and Akeno-san! 

To have come to the underwear corner like the church trio……. Isn't the department full of devils today! Everyone loves this department way too much! Don’t they have any other place to go to on a holiday!? 

More like, the combination of these two is too rare! I knew that these two were very good friends in private. 

However, to go with just the two of them without Rias is a very rare scene for me! I see, since Rias is accompanying today for buying of Ophis' stuff, Akeno-san and Kaichou must have then decided to go out with just the two of them. 

……Somehow, I am really curious about their conversation. What sort of things do they talk about when it’s just the two of them. 

I fearfully closed in and turned my ears. 

“Won’t you buy this sort of underwear, Sona?” 

“Yes, I am fine with the normal ones. I sometimes buy ones with patterns however, I don’t wear transparent, or the very small shaped ones like Akeno or Rias.” 

Ooh, as expected of the way too serious Kaichou-sama. Her underwear is also completely serious! 

Akeno-san smiles. 

“Ara ara, if only there’s a person to show it to, the purchasing desire changes you know?” 

“It’s fine if underwear just has it’s functionality. ……Well, if by any chance it’s seen, I feel there’s a need of minimum amount of sense…..” 

“Yes, yes, if the boy you like sees it and gets a bad impression, you wouldn't like it right? Girls have to choose underwear with the resolution that it can be seen anytime.” 

“………I feel there’s a reason. However-----“ 

“Ara, this is good.” 

The one Akeno-san held was…….the cloth area was excessively small, underwear that had abandoned its functionality as underwear! 

Amazing! What’s with that underwear! Won’t the butt etc., everything be completely visible!? More like, it’s a dubious shape that I don’t know if it would even hide the important places or not! 

To the side of Akeno-san who was holding it full of curiosity, Sona-kaichou's face was a bit red. 

“Ah, Akeno. That underwear….can’t be called as underwear.” 

“Ufufu, it’s underwear. It seems boyfriends like these. While Rias is not present, if I have this, he will immediately be roused.” 

“……I won’t complain about wearing it in the house but wearing it to school is forbidden, alright? The public morals will be disordered a lot. Before that, are you and Rias wearing flashy underwear from before to school?” 

“Geez, Sona. You’re the student council president even in private life. Ufufu, really, your onee-sama is completely opposite. If it was Serafall-sama, she seems to have had an interest in this type of underwear.” 

On Akeno-san's words, Kaichou suddenly gets flustered! 

“Wa-Wait! Don’t recommend that to Onee-sama! Just show that to Hyoudou Issei-kun!” 

“Ufufu, you’re also a very big siscon about Serafall-sama.” 

“I am not a Siscon. I am only taking care of Onee-sama. If I don’t do that, Onee-sama seems like she would be tricked by a perverted insect.” 

“Sona, really, you’re serious but interesting.” 

“…….Kuh” 

In contrast to Akeno-san who looked like she was enjoying herself, Kaichou seemed a bit displeased. 

Amazing, what an interesting conversation! Heh, those two without Rias do this sort of talk usually. They showed me a valuable scene. 

So Sona-Kaichou has a side that cares that much about Leviathan-sama, huh. I surely thought that only Leviathan-sama excessively cares about Sona. The sisters think of each other dearly. This was a rare knowledge. 

However, that underwear that Akeno-san is holding could only be thought of as a rope! If she wears that and comes……Gufufu! I can’t bear it! If the panties are like that, what would the bra be like! My dreams are expanding! 

------And there was a shadow that was approaching Akeno-san and Sona Kaichou. 

A combination Saji, Hanakai-san, and the first year Nimura-san! Kaichou seemed to have recognised them as well. 

“Ara, isn't it Saji, Momo and Ruruko. What a coincidence to have met here.” 

Hanakai-san says to Kaichou after drawing closer. 

“Kaichou! Please hear this! Ruruko is trying to select perverted underwear for Gen-chan! No matter how you think of it, it’s obscene! It’s impure!” 

Hearing that, Nimura-san puffs and turns her face away and says. 

“I just wanted to hear the opinion of a male. Momo-san as well, if you get your underwear chosen by Genjirou-senpai, isn't is fine?” 

“W-What are you saying! If I bring Gen-chan with me to the underwear corner, he’ll become an idiot and perverted! What do you plan on doing if he becomes a monster!” 

Compared to the upset Hanakai-san, Nimura-san was smiling calmly. 

“Male high school students won’t become like that with just a single underwear I think.” 

-----Sorry, I was really stimulated! 

In someplace else while I was having apologetic feelings, that bastard Saji was bewildered and said to Kaichou. 

“I-I, am not really going to ever become perverted, or have tastes in underwear! Kaichou, it’s true! I happened to meet Hanakai-san and Nimura-san coincidentally in the department store, and through this and that came over here! It’s an honour to have met Kaichou!” 

He was explaining the reason as to why he was at the underwear corner. 

Since it’s Saji who’s fallen for Kaichou. He must want to avoid a misunderstanding. More like, Hanakai-san and Nimura-san's Saji contest is overheating…… 

After raising her spectacles, Kaichou said this simply. 

“Saji, males can’t be coming recklessly to the girl’s underwear corner. And also------ you have to moderate your perversity.” 

“Ka-Kaichou…..you’re wrong……” 

With the misunderstanding seeming to have cleared but not having been cleared, Saji was in shock after hearing that from Kaichou. Seeing that Akeno smiled and loosened her mouth. 

…….Saji Genshirou who still wasn't a likely candidate. It’s far off. Like, doesn't it smell like impossible? If he finds out that I am called by my given name by Kaichou, I feel that I will be cursed by Vritra's power…… 

Hearing the conversation of the student council members any more than this is also useless so, I sneakily moved away from that place. 

Now then, after returning worried on how Rias and Ophis' shopping was going----- 

Rias was in the corridor and looking around turning her head this way and that in the shop. From the troubled expression on her face, it seemed like something had happened. 

More like, Ophis……isn't around? 

Rushing over to Rias, she said that with an open mouth first. 

“Ophis went somewhere!” 

……It seems like the dragon God became a lost kid. 

It was a 10 second gap in which Rias was having the shop employee check the stockpile. In that little gap where she had her eyes away, for Ophis to have disappeared. 

“What have I done….” 

Rias who looks apologetic. 

No, it’s my fault. Because I only had my attention on Asia and the two, or Akeno-san and Kaichou….. Because I had entered the underwear corner of my dreams, I was too happy. 

…..If I had clutched her always, she wouldn't have gone. 

We called out to the church trio, Akeno-san and Sona-kaichou, and Saji and the rest and asked them to help us find Ophis. 

Making the place in front of the underwear corner as the gathering spot, everyone ran around in the department. 

Was she taken away by someone? It’s not that there’s no possibility but if you ask me, something must have caught her attention and she followed that. Or she must have been curious about the department store and aimlessly got separated from us------. The possibility of one of those two is high. 

“…..W-Well, since it’s a Dragon God, it’s not like she’ll get some trouble but someone may get in trouble because of her….” 

I twist my neck in negation. We have already told her strongly not to use her powers on normal people, I don’t think she would. Her personality is docile, so if you say it once she’ll understand. 

……Being taken captive by other factions, and also enemy powers, the possibility….can’t be said as zero. 

For the three great powers, this city is a special place so I don’t think enemy powers can enter so easily but, I can’t say it for sure…… 

Not good. The more you think about it, you’ll sink into despair! 

For the time being, places where it seems she would go, or places which would catch her attention, we have to put them together and check them! 

“It’s a large shop so it’s not certain that Ophis will stay in one place, and there’s a limit to how much we can search on via. Let’s have our familiars help as well.” 

Rias making sure the guests didn't notice, started having her familiars search thoroughly as well. At that moment------. The indoor broadcast started ringing throughout the entire department store. 

“Lost Child Notice.” 

Ooh! Maybe it’s! Praying that it’s maybe that, what reached our ears was----- 

“Crimson haired, big boobed mom. A father with a lecherous face. A sister with normal sized boobs with long gold hair. An idiotic looking sister who looks like she has brute strength. A sister who is a self proclaimed angel. Brother and sister looking like birds and a girl looking like a cat. One more mom with black hair and big boobs. A sister looking like she has low happiness and is poor who is silver haired. And also a handsome guy and a cross dressing boy and a glasses girl…..? Is there a combination of such people? Or are there such looking people nearby? A girl is waiting at the lost child centre. ……….Wait, head! S-Sorry! B-But, this girl said that if I said that they would immediately understa…..ah, my deepest apologies! Please forget this!” 

…….Somehow, a really rude and awful announcement was heard! 

Leaving that aside, Crimson haired and a big boobed mom!? And, a father with a lecherous face!? 

Who is that! Wait, us!? The customers inside the shop look at us and say “Aren't they them?” “You’re right.” And started noticing! 

More like, that Ophis, isn't it definite that she’s at the lost child centre! 

Did she explain as mother, father!? Or is that while explaining, the employee took it as that!? 

“L-Leaving this aside, let’s hurry to Ophis!” 

We get caught in public gaze, and with her face reddening due to embarrassment, Rias said that and started walking fast! We also follow her! 

In the middle of heading there, we get inquisitive glances and words of other customers, and keep heading on! 

“Well, a couple around high school student? Crimson hair! It’s about them!” 

“It’s indeed an idiotic looking lady who looks like she has brute strength!” 

“A self proclaimed angel (lol)” 

“A mom with black hair and big boobs……wait, there are two moms? And there are lots of sisters? I-It’s a complex circumstance.” 

“It really is a lecherous looking faced dad!” 

Everyone is saying what they want! 

We increased our pace for the time being with our faces red! 

Shit! Shiiiiiit! Why do we have to face this! It’s extremely embarrassing! 

“I! For the time being, can’t come to this department store due to embarrassment!” 

Covering her face while walking, Asia looked embarrassed from the bottom of her heart! 

“Sorry for looking idiotic.” 

“I am an angel! It’s true!” 

Xenovia and Irina also looked like they couldn't agree. 

The Raiser brother sister and Koneko-chan who are not moving alongside us right now, would they also be recognised right now and be embarrassed? 

Kiba and Gasper, Shinra-senpai, and Rosweisse-san as well may have noticed the announcement! 

“Fufufu, Sorry. But, fufufu.” 

Sona-Kaichou who wasn't called by the announcement is tagging along with us laughing strangely. 

Eh, please laugh already! Although I want to cry! 

“Ufufu, my position as the other mom. It’s not bad. Next time, adultery play with Ophis-chan and Ise-kun may be interesting.” 

Akeno-san looked like she liked the explanation in the announcement! Adultery play including Ophis is strongly catching my interest! 

More like, that Ophis, she explained our appearance directly to the employer. Or, must have said the special features we told our friends like that itself. 

And then, the above mentioned mom, Rias is----- 

While blushing her face red, somehow was happy. 

“……Mom. I am a mom. Ufufu. Ise is the dad. I see. That’s right. That’s how we are seen, right. Really, Ophis.” 

It seemed like she had the best mood today. After having that embarrassing announcement done, furthermore all inquisitive gazes all having been concentrated, Rias gave the finest quality smile. 

“You’re late. I got tired of waiting.” 

Saying that Ophis welcomed us! 

She didn't show us a single particle of calmness. Seems like she was taken along with a kid eating candy, and was unsteadily separated from the underwear corner. 

Rias was not even particularly angry with Ophis, rather, she was off buying candy for her. 

“How is it, Ophis. Is the candy tasty?” 

“It’s fluffy and sweet. Tasty.” 

“Ufufu, I see. However, don’t separate on your own from us, okay?” 

“Got it.” 

Her figure of watching over Ophis seemed to be enjoying herself. 

“That’s right, the mom has to be gentle with her children. Ophis, do you want more of the candy.” 

“I want more.” 

Rias was in a good mood from the beginning to the end. It seems she was very happy being recognised as ‘mom’. If you look at it from appearances, it’s a big daughter for Rias. 

……I am the dad, huh. R-Rias’ husband….? T-That’s an honour! 

Children, huh. Will I too, someday, become a true father. I can’t even imagine it now. 

After that, everyone restarted their shopping. In the middle, we met with Koneko-chan, Ravel, Raiser, Rosweisse-san and had a late lunch. Since there were a lot of adults, we split the seats and sat. 

It seemed that Kiba, Gasper and Shinra-senpai had gone back already. They progressed at their own pace so it’s interesting. Guessing from Kiba's appearance and Shinra-senpai, it’s impossible to happen suddenly. 

Raiser is nudging at his hamburger with a happy look. That caught my interest. 

“Raiser-san likes hamburgers, huh! I can’t imagine it!” 

As soon as I say that, Raiser's face reddens! 

“What did you say, Sekiryuutei! Hamburgers are tasty! You too, putting miso soup on hamburgers!? That’s why former humans are an uncivilized combination and I am troubled eating with such a group!” 

“What did you say!? Doesn't miso soup match with hamburger!” 

Don’t underestimate the Japanese! As long as there’s rice and miso soup, they can make mostly everything as a side dish! A fried chicken can’t understand that! 

“Geez, Ise-sama and Onii-sama too, please don’t fight over hamburgers!” 

Ravel entered between me and Raiser and tries to stop us! 

“I, like hamburgers.” 

“……Tawara hamburgers are supreme.” [3] 

On the side of us, Ophis and Koneko-chan were eating silently while taking the dishes. In the other seats, the Sitri family was eating enjoyably but only Saji's tension was low from the beginning to the end. 

Isn't it fine to have the person you like recognise you as perverted! I too am living sturdily like that! 

However, somehow having a meal like this so peacefully and enjoyably may have been quite a while ago. 

Well, in the meantime, we couldn't bear the inquisitive gazes pouring at us from the other customers! Since we’re well known thanks to the announcement from before…… 

However, even though I say it as a coincidence, it was a department store with acquaintances in the numbers that you would be surprised at……. The proportion of devils is way too high, in this department….. 

Was this also the Dragon God-sama's divine protection? No, it can’t be. 

“Let’s go to the 100 yen store in the last! Since good things happened today, I want to exert and spend around 500 Yen worth of articles!” 

Rosweisse-san was proudly showing the war spoils with her eyes shining. In the words of Ophis, a sister looking like she has low happiness and is poor. ……It’s matching her. 

……Today, I think the one who most proficiently bought was Rossweisse-san.
