High School DxD - DDRias in Wonderland (Special)

This may be a punishment given to me.

Part 1

This is an incident that happened to me, Rias Gremory, and Hyoudou Issei.

That is the only thingI won t be able to accept so modestly.!

Ise, who usually will say "es! to my commands, didn t agree to my order.

The #evil s $ob that is done late at night.

The lea%lets with magic&circle on them, that we either post into people's mailbo(es orhand them out at the streets. The humans that receive them summon us #evils by ma)inga wish to the lea%let. *e then receive an e+uivalent price by listening to and granting their wish.

This rule also applies to us, the High&class #evils, the Gremorys.

The $ob o% #evils should have ended as usual %or today. However Hyoudou Issei, also)nown as Ise, who happens to be my servant #evil as well as my beloved spea)s out hisopinion.

mm, it s about the $ob -sia has to accomplish soon ay I help her/!

He gave his opinion regarding the $ob scheduled %or -sia with her regular customer planned very soon.

The $ob -sia must complete is to help her client move houses who lives in a splendidmansion. He must have thought that it will be uneasy %or only the two o% -sia and herclient to do the tas).

I would usually have accepted Ise s opinion right away.

However, bac) then I disapproved it.

I won t allow it. I% -sia can t accomplish at least this much, then it won t be %or her owngood in the %uture.!

0&0ut we are tal)ing about moving the belongings o% a rich person here, you )now/ Iheard that the helpers won t be there because they too) a day o%%, so I thin) it will be toomuch %or only -sia and the client %or such a tas)!


4/27

*hat Ise said was plausible.

However, until this day, I was %illed with dissatis%action.

1ately, I can t help but thin) there are di%%erences between how Ise treats me and those

around us.#uring dinner, Ise would praise -)eno s coo)ing more than mine.

#uring shopping, Ise would support -sia, 2enovia, and Ravel, who are even moreun%amiliar with 3apan than me. I also want him to tag along with my shopping, even %or ashort time.

#uring wee)ends, he would always pay attention to 4phis and 5one)o in the livingroom.

Ise also tal)s to Irina about their childhood. I......don t )now about his childhood.

Those are some o% the dissatis%actions I have. 6ach one o% them are things I won t be thatmuch bothered with.

I )now that he is )ind to everyone. I )now that everyone loves him. I am in a positionwhere I have to accept those girls %eelings.

6ven so, the wish o% having him treat me more importantly is getting stronger. Truly,even I thin) I am a sel%ish woman.

6ven though I lost him once already, I.. I don t want to go through that e(perience ever again, and I want to %orget about it. I want him to %awn on me, and I also want to %awnon him.

6veryone also %eels the same, so I can t be the only one to have such en$oyment. 0ut but

0ac) then, I gave a 7o! to him, that even I didn t thin) I would.

6ven though I m a 85ing9 as well as the ne(t heiress o% House o% Gremory, I acted due tomy %ury.

-nd possibly due to my nature and my personality, I wasn t able to change what Idecided on, so I.

I thin) this will be too hard %or -sia alone, a%ter all:!

I reply bac) to him with a violent tone to him, who wasn t trying to bac) down.

7o: *e can t allow only -sia to go through special treatment. I% you )eep on being


5/27

overprotective over -sia, then she would never be able to accomplish her wor):!

The usual 0uchou..no, the usual Rias would have said yesbut why/ "ou areacting strange tonight:!

;trange.;trange/ e/ y usual sel%/

"es, I may not be my usual sel%. I may be acting strange. 0ut, I can t hold bac) myemotion once I release it.

;trange/ *hat can you possibly understand about me/ I am a 85ing9: I myour aster, you )now:/ #on t give me your opinion:!

I hit the table and release my anger at Ise.

He had a shoc)ed e(pression, and he also had sad loo)ing eyes. y servants around usare also watching our conversation with a complicated e(pression.

I $ust wanted to!

He tried to say something, but became +uiet a%ter that.

I $ust wanted him to realise it. That I wanted him to loo) at me even more.That s the only thing I wanted.

7o, this is all my %ault %or not controlling mysel%. I m such a pathetic woman.


6/27

nless it s a severe case, the degree o% di%%iculty %or hunting isn t that high %or us who arecontinuing to increase our power. 6ven so, we can t let our guard downbut %or thisday, we also accomplished our mission without di%%iculty.

*e have already eliminated the ;tray #evil that has been damaging the human world,

and the only thing le%t is to dispose o% the body.

-%ter %inishing the hunt, I released my strain, and my head got %illed with the +uarrel Ihad with Ise be%ore.

I can tell %rom their e(pression and attitude that Ise and my servants are paying attentionso I won t get upset.

It s a thing which can end i% I simply say, I m sorry!. However, i% I say that, then itmeans that I will ac)nowledge Ise s densenessand I don t want that.

7o, I love everything about him, including his denseness.

0ut, during this time, I was really stubborn. I start to hate the %act that I am more childishthan I thought.

-sia ta)es a step towards me and spea)s.

& mmRias&oneesamaI!

;he s probably trying to apologise. ;he probably wants me to %orgive Ise.

;he s such a )ind girl. ;he s li)e a little sister to me. y lovely -sia.

It s all my %ault. It s all my %ault %or having -sia put on such a pain%ul e(pression. I stro)e-sia s chee), and then turn around&&.

I m sorry I will be heading home %irst.!

I&&$ust ran away. I don t )now why. I $ust didn t want to stay here any longer. I wanted to be alone as soon as possible. I wanted time to cool mysel%.

-%ter I calm mysel%, I will de%initely apologise. To Ise. To -sia. To everyone.

I activate the magic&circle to return to the room.

The moment the light enveloped me and %lashed.

The place I teleported to is.

Part 2


7/27

the town during the morning.

orning/ 7o, it was still supposed to be night. There s still time le%t until themorning.

-nd the location I was supposed to teleport to is 5uou -cademy s 4ccult Research=lubroom.

It s basically near impossible %or even a aou to teleport along with speeding time,and even i% it was possible %or pureblood #evils to accomplish it, only ephisto >heles&sama who is researching about the %urther possibility o% demonic&power and -$u)a0eel?ebub are the only ones capable o% doing it.

I don t thin) it s something I can accomplish by luc). I% that s the casethen what isgoing on here/

*hen I loo) around, I don t sense or see anyone.

Have I been attac)ed/ Have I been teleported while the time changed by %orce/ #idGasper s power go out o% control/ 7o, I didn t have the mysterious %eeling I get when thetime stopped.

*hile being cautious, I activated the magic&circle once again, and went inside the light.

The scenery within the light isa %orest.

6ven i% I ta)e a loo) around, the only scenery appearing to my eyes is the %orest.

I was supposed to be in the place which is within my memory, but there is no sign o% theold school building, and even i% I went to the location where the new school building is

built, there wasn t even a sign o% a building being built there.

This is town where I live in, right/ I% that s the case, 5uou academy should behere

I activated the communication&type magic&circle to call ;ona and my comrades.

However, no one answered my call, and the magic&circle is $ust being activated within the

air without doing anything.-)eno: ;ona: Gray%ia: 4)aa&sama: 4tou&sama: >lease answer me: >lease:!

There s no sign that the magic&circle will connect to those close to me, no matter I callout to them.

I draw a magic&circle in order to teleport to the nderworld, but when I went inside it


8/27

.

The magic&circle didn t respond, and the teleportation didn t succeed.

*hat does this mean/ Is this placedi%%erent to the town I )now/

I got even more suspicious, and I went towards this certain place.

The Hyoudou residence.

y home in 3apan. The place I love that I live with those important to me.

*hen I arrived there, I was in %or a shoc).

The Hyoudou residence is there. 0ut what s there is.

The Hyoudou residence became a lu(ury si( storey house be%ore summer holiday.

However, what s in %ront o% me isa two storey house.I loo)ed at the name plate. There is a sign, Hyoudou!, so it means that someone whocarries the Hyoudou name lives here. Then the entrance door opened. The ones whoappear %rom there isIse and -sia:

They do e(ist. 0ut I %eel they are a bit di%%erent.

;orry, I over slept. I m sorry to have you always coming to get me.!

Gee?, Ise&)un, you played games till late at night, didn t you/!

"eah, I was in the stage where you %ight the boss in the R>G game I brought the otherday, so I didn t %ind the right time to stop playing it.!

*hile having such conversation, they bow towards me, and tried to leave without beingconcerned about me. #id they ignore me/ 7o, it s more li)e they don t )now me.

Ise:!

I called out his name li)e how I always do. He turned around, and loo) right at me.

I approached him, and put on a shoc)ed e(pression at their appearance.

Those clothes..what happened/ 6ven -sia is wearing the same clothes Is it are+uest %rom your client/!

"es, both o% them aren t in 5uou academy s uni%orm. They are wearing the speci%icuni%orm o% a school located at the ne(t town.

Hearing my words, both o% them got pu??led.


9/27

/!

/!

It seems li)e they don t )now me at all.

Ise says it while scratching his chee) with a troubled e(pression.

& mm, who may you be/ mm, even I would be shoc)ed i% a red hair beauty suddenlytal)ed to me!

: I got speechless. He doesn t )now me/ It doesn t seem li)e he s acting either.It really seems li)e this Ise doesn t )now me.

-sia then says it to Ise.

Ise&)un, I thin) you have met her somewhere. >lease try to remember her. I don t

thin) she s lying.!

*hat are you saying, -sia/ I also )now you!

6ven though I said that to her, her reaction is.

/!

that o% someone who can t remember me. The way she tal)s is di%%erent to the -sia thatI )now o%.

Ise crossed his arm, and started to thin) while tilting his head."es, I can t sense the aura o% those with special powers coming %rom him. The wave o% a#evil, and the wave o% a #ragon. I can t sense any o% those coming %rom him.

y suspicions got even stronger inside me.

Then a new person came running to tal) to them.

-h: Ise&)un: "ou are so mean to leave me, your childhood %riend, behind and go toschool with -sia&san since morning:!

It s Irina&san. It s ;hidou Irina&san who is wearing the same uni%orm as Ise who is in %ronto% me. ;he came %rom the house ne(t door.

Irina&san appeared, but Ise puts on an annoyed %ace.

1oo)s li)e I got caught by the noisy one %rom morning:!

*hat was that:/ "ou are so mean to leave me behind, $ust because you became -sia&


10/27

san s lover: "ou meanie:!

Irina spo)e with dissatis%action. 1overs/ Ise and-sia/

They leave me behind and continue their conversation.

*ho cares:/ I was %inally able to date -sia: ;imply wal)ing to school in the morningwith her should be allowed: -ctually, wal)ing to school with her is something we alwaysdo:!

0oo 0oo: 4h, who is this person with red hair/ ;he s super beauti%ul: #on t tell me it ssomeone Ise&)un is having a%%air with:/!

Irina&san moves her ga?e at me. Her e(pression is that o% someone who doesn t )now me.

Ise panics a%ter Irina&san says that.

*&*hat are you tal)ing about:/ #on t say things li)e that: -sia is pure, so she would belie!

-re you having an a%%air/!

-sia s eyes gets %illed with tears. Ise continues while panic)ing.

-s i%: I&I $ust con%essed to you recently that I always li)ed you since middle school:!

Hearing that, Irina&san puts on a lewd %ace and -sia blushes.

*oah. Than) you %or that.!*hat on earth am I saying since morning: #amn you, Irina:!

It seems li)e Ise can t endure the embarrassment so his %ace go red.

-sia says it timidly.

"&"eah. I also li)ed you since middle school as well, Ise&)un.!

T&Than)s.!

4h my: "ou guys sure are being lovely&dovely since morning: I have to in%orm this to5iryuu&san as well:!

Irina&san starts to tease them. I% I remember correctly, 5iryuu&san is -sias %riend, isn tshe/ I see, so 5iryuu&san is also here.

*hen I was observing the three o% them having their conversation, Ise puts his handtogether and apologises.


11/27

-h, ummI can t remember about you a%ter all, so I thin) you got the wrong person.I m sorry, we have school now, so we will be ta)ing our leave.!

Ise goes while ta)ing -sias hand. Irina&san also %ollows them.

Irina&san puts on a lewd %ace again and +uestions Ise.-re you really really sure that you are not having an a%%air/!

"ou are being persistent, Irina:!

0y the way, I still haven t given up yet, -sia&san. ;o I might steal him away, you)now/!

Hau: ;o I still can t let my guard down: 0ut, I won t lose:!

Hey, hey, what are you two tal)ing about!

The three o% them le%t me while having such conversation.

Their reaction. y comrades whom I can t get in contact with. -nd the 5uouacademy that doesn t e(ist.

This isn t the place that I m %amiliar with/!

It happens when I said that.

8To be e(pected %rom Rias Gremory. "ou didn t panic li)e I thought you would.9

:!

;uddenly, a voice belonging to a mysterious man echoes within my head. The mancontinues.

8Hyoudou Issei and others o% this world doesn t )now a thing about you.9

*hat do you mean/!

8The Three Great >owers. This is a world where God, -ngels,


12/27

- remnant %rom the Hero %action. The Hero&%action o% 5haos 0rigade has stoppedoperating due to having their leader, =ao =ao, and the core members %all. Though thereare cases where the remnants are causing small destruction in various areas

Is this your doing/!

The man ma)es a lively laugh at my +uestion.

8 y ;acred Gear 8#reamli)e =urse9 s 0alance 0rea)er s ability, 8>alaselene topia9. Ihave sent you to a parallel world.9

;acred Gear s 0alance 0rea)er.

Hesent me to the parallel world/ I never thought a ;acred Gear with such power%ulability e(isted 7o, 0alance 0rea)er is said to be capable o% collapsing the balance o% the world. -nd i% it s a sub&species, then the ability will di%%er, so it will become a totally

di%%erent story.

-%ter all, the ;acred Gear will use the %eeling o% the possessor to go through any sort o%change and evolution.

The man spea)s happily.

8I can t ta)e on all o% you, the Gremory group, by mysel%. However, i% it s a single person,then I can send that person to the parallel world. Then, i% I were to do that, which one o%you among your group should I send to the parallel world to be e%%ected and give the%eeling o% despair.9

-%ter the hunt %or the ;tray #evil, I was the only one who used the teleportation magic&circle. He must have targeted me then. It loo)s li)e this man was hiding near the crimescene and was waiting %or the chance.

7o, the hunt %or the ;tray #evil may also be this man s doing. 1oo)s li)e we wereoutwitted by him. ...I% 5one)o s and -)enos searching ability wasn t able to capturehim, then it means he is a either an e(perienced %ighter who can shut down his presenceor someone who )nows how %ar we can notice enemy s presence. It s certain that he s+uite e(perienced since he has reached 0alance 0rea)er.

The man continues on and then says it.

8The most e%%ective target. The answer %or that would be you, the leader o% thegroup.9

;o it isn t Ise.!

8I ve thought about it, but that man s e(istence itsel% is abnormal. He won t die with


13/27

;amael s poison, and I also have heard that he returned %rom the dimensional gap byhimsel%. 6ven i% I were to use this ability on someone li)e that who s e(istence isabnormal, then he might return by his own power again. -%ter all, Hyoudou Issei is a manwho de%eated ;halba who was the leader o% 4ld& aou %action, and =ao =ao who was theleader o% our Hero&%action.9

It s %rustrating, but he s right. I% it s him, then he won t bac) down no matter what andovercome it.

"ou are right, he does indeed create many miracles.


14/27

The man called =ao =ao. The organisation called Hero&%action. The things they sproutedinside the ;acred Gear possessors is strong.

The man laughs, and then leaves his last words to me.

8In this world, the only #evil here is you.


15/27

In this world, he %ul%ills a li%estyle where he isn t involved with abnormal powers.The same must apply to -sia and Irina&san.

The ca%@ in the town which I o%ten visited during the wee)end in the original world.Right now I am thin)ing o% what to do %rom now there.

-nyway, I must return to the original world. I will de%initely get close to that goal i%I get in contact with the special powers and abnormal beings o% this world. 6ven thoughthe magical %ormula that was born %rom researching demonic&power doesn t e(ist in thisworld, %ortunately the magical %ormula that is taught by the 7orse mythology and other%actions do e(ist.

I will de%initely return. To my world, where the ones I love are at.

*hen re%reshing my %eeling, I started to hear the conversation between a young man andwoman.

Those are voices that I m very %amiliar with. *hen I loo)ed that way. It s Ise, -sia,and Irina&san, o% this world. I certainly do %eel a sense o% weird %ate even though ithappened by a chance.

: ;eeing another person with them, I got shoc)ed.

It s because 2enovia is there. Ise then says it to 2enovia.

Hmm, so 2enovia&san, you too) 3apanese in Italy/!

"eah. I have been %ascinated by the 3apanese )endo, the samurais, since I was a child.I studied about 3apan by mysel%. *hy did you come to 3apan, -sia -rgento/!

I was an orphan, and I was adopted by my 3apanese parents and came here.!

I see, so that s why you are so natural in spea)ing 3apanese.!

2enovia nods her head as i% she got her answer.

;o 2enovia also e(ists in this world. It seems li)e she is %ul%illing a li%e where sheisn t involved with the God %rom the 0ible! and the =hurch.

-nd -sia. It seems li)e she was able to %ul%ill a better li%e as a human than the one shehad in my world. I got relie% )nowing that.

Irina&san then praises 2enovia.

"ou are also +uite good in spea)ing 3apanese yoursel%, 2enovia&san.!

Than) you, ;hidou Irina.!


16/27

Gee?, you can $ust call me Irina.!

Irina says that while laughing amusingly. Her smile is the same as the one she has in theworld I came %rom.

Then you can $ust call me 2enovia.!2enovia who replied bac) to her has the same smile as the one she shows in my world.

I% #evils don t e(ist, I haven t originally e(isted in this world. 1i)ewise, the pure#evils such as ;ona, Ravel, Raiser, and ;airaorg don t e(ist either.

5one)o and "uuto It seems "ou)ai do e(ist, and "uuto won t be e(perimented on bythe =hurch either. ;o I thin) both o% them do e(ist somewhere in this word. 6(cept, theyhaven t met Ise o% this world.

-)eno I% -ngels don t e(ist, then it will mean that


17/27

This man may be trying to stir my %eeling o% being $ealous, but what I %elt is completelythe opposite. I actually became touched by the deep connection both o% them has.

I% that is the case, -sia o% this world will be having a happy li%e. I can t stop but thin) thatit is a wonder%ul thing since I got )now that much.

The man s laughter continues.

8However, youwere %ated not to meet with him due to the setting o% this world.9

I didn t get a shoc) by his words and instead put on a smile.

I see. It s un%ortunate, but that Ise isn t the same Ise I am in love with.!

There isn t a di%%erence with that Ise. 0ut they are di%%erent. They are really di%%erent.

y Ise is the one who said that promise to me.

I thin) it s good that the Ise and -sia o% this world are deeply connected. 7o, this is howit should supposed to be. 0ut the Ise in my world is the biggest love o% my world.!

The one who sworn to continue wal)ing beside me is the Ise I )now o%.

I will de%initely return to that world. The world where he is in, the world where he e(istsin is the place I belong to. That won t change %orever.!

8-re you able to continue saying that even i% won t be returning to that world %orthousand or even ten thousand years/ "ou are telling me you can bet everything on that

man who you haven t even spend a year with/9

B"es, even i% it ta)es a thousand or ten thousand years, I will de%initely go bac) to thatworld. 6ven i% the time I spent with Ise hasn t even reached a year, I can put everythingon it. I love him a%ter all. I have went through a romance which was that serious in thatworld:B

Hearing my words, the man s words became a bit unpleasant.

He must have started to get irritated by the %act that he can t agitate me li)e he thought.

I won t let it go li)e how this man wants it to go.

8;uch a brave lady you are. - #evil that has the li%espan that is basically %or eternity. 6specially a princess li)e yoursel% can actually put everything on the line %or a manwho you have only )now %or hal% a year9

4% course. He is the %irst man I loved. ;tanding ne(t to him is the place where I belong.


18/27

I% I can return to that place, then I can put everything on the line.

The man spea)s in the same manner as be%ore and then says this.

8Then, how is this/9

That instant, the scenery around me got distorted, and then starts to go through a change.

:!

The scenery which appears %ront o% me who am is in shoc)is a place whereeverything is destroyed.

The scenery where it %eels li)e there is no sign o% li%e due to the buildings that arecollapsed and the public buildings are destroyed. The roads have been slashed in manylayers, and it is either li%ted or destroyed where the %lower and grasses are also dead.

The s)y is dim, and the sunlight hasn t come down to the earth. I am standing in a placewhere everything is destroyed. Have I been sent to a di%%erent world again/

*hen I got depressed at the same phenomenon that occurred, this time, I hear that man svoice coming directly %rom the s)y.

8This is the world where all civili?ation was destroyed by war. 7o one is here. There isnothing here. 6ven the %orces o% the mythology has vanished. The world with onlydespair where everything is destroyed. *hat can you, who has been sent to this world,do/ There is no longer any clue le%t %or you to return to your world. =an you still say that

you are going to your original world even now/ -re you saying you have the resolutionto return to the place where the man you love is at/9

In other words, I have been sent to a world o% nothingness where there are nomythologies and magic

I bite my lips, and continue to tell him without brea)ing my smile.

I% it isn t ?ero, then I won t give up. I will de%initely return.!

"es, I will return. However.

I am Rias Gremory. The ne(t heiress o% the House o% Gremory. I am the aster o%-)eno, 5one)o, "uuto, -sia, Gasper, 2enovia, Rossweisse, and Ise. ;ince I am the club

president o% 5uou academy s 4ccult Research =lub, then that ma)es me in charge o%Irina&san and Ravel.!

I m scared.


19/27

aybe I won t be able to go home/ That %eeling got stronger.

Is this a punishment/ - punishment to me who said horrible things to Ise and -sia.

0ut I don t want to show my wea) state to this man.

That s why I continue to say strong words while hiding my uneasiness. 3ust acting is %ine.I don t want to show him my wea)ness.

I% this attitude o% my mine even brea)s a bit, it %eels li)e it will also brea) everythinginside me right away.

I will return. -nd right about now, everyone is wor)ing hard to get me bac).!

8-re you believing that your comrades will be able to brea)through my ability/9

0elieve in them. y comrades.

0ut what will I do i% their power won t reach here/

*ill their power reach here in this world where there is no special powers or anything/

That %eeling got a bit stronger inside me and it starts to ma)e me a small %eeling o% doubttowards my trust in him.

#on t doubt: 0elieve it: In mysel%: In my comrades: -nd in him:

"es, that s right. Those children are my pride that have overcome any sort o% li%e and

death situation, and hardship together with me. They won t lose to merely a level o% yourtechni+ue. *e will de%initely blow you away:!

Ise: 6veryone: I m here:

I will return to the place where everyone is: I will de%eat this man no matter what:

*hile ma)ing my %eeling go stronger, the scenery changes.

The space gets distorted again.

Is it the third teleportation/ *here is he going to teleport me this time/

I %eel uneasy as well as despair, but there is a change in the man s tone.

8:9

The man mutters out a voice that isn t a word as i% he is in shoc).

Then he suddenly shouts.


20/27

8*&*hat is this: Impossible: "ou are telling me he can come in:/ "ou are telling methat he bro)e through my techni+ue:/ T&This power:9

;omething is attac)ing this man/

-round me who is in doubt, a crac) appears within the scenery around me.- crac) in space/ *&*hat does this mean/

In the section o% a s)y. In the ash&coloured s)y, a hole appears in the s)y while ma)ing asound o% a glass being shattered.

The wave o% aura that I dearly missed comes %rom it.

Rias::!

The one who comes into this world while shouting is.

I replayed those words he said to me bac) then.

0y de%eating Raiser, the words he said to me when he rescued me %or the %irst time.

I will )eep on coming to rescue 0uchou.

"es, I )now.

That s the only thing I am capable o%.

That isn t true. "ou have taught me many things.

0ut, I will de%initely come to rescue you.

"es, you are right. "ou are always li)e that.

I am Rias Gremorys 8>awn9.

Rias: I came to rescue you:!

The one who appears %rom the hole is that man clad in red armour.

Ise:!

Hearing my voice, he turns this way. He descends while %lapping his #ragon s wings. I


21/27

open my arms to embrace him.

Ise s warmth that can be %elt through the armour while he is embracing me.

"es, it is this person. The dearly missed warmth o% the man I %ell in love with.

I m so glad: 1oo)s li)e you are sa%e: Rias, I have come %or you.!

Iseit s you, right/!

I as) him to con%irm. He opens his mas) and shows me his usual smile.

"es, it s me. Is something wrong/!

I reach my hand to his chee) and as) him again. I already )now. That this person is Ise.The Ise that I )now. 0ut please, answer me again so I can con%irm it.

The Ise that I %ell in love with. "ou are the Ise that loves me, right/!He loo)s into my eyes and nods.

*hat are you saying:/ 4% course I love you: I am your 8>awn9, and you are the personwhom I con%essed to: "ou are that person, Rias Gremory:!

"es, I was able to meet him.

- single drop o% tear runs down my chee).

Rias/!

He gets pu??led, so I show him my smile.

I believed that we were going to meet again!

;o you were crying. It s alright, I m right here.!

"es, you did come %or me. I m alright now. I can %ight now more than ever:

y attitude changes with his appearance, and the space %ront o% us gets distorted.

The distorted space %orms into a shape o% a person. - man who is really panic)ed appears.

Impossible: y techni+uemy ;acred Gear s abilityare you telling me youovercame it:/!

The man who is wearing a suit gets deeply shoc)ed at Ise s entrance.

Ise points at the man.


22/27

"o, remnant %rom the Hero %action. The ability o% your ;acred Gear is already )nown."ou send the target to the barrier space you created, and I hear that you use all sorts o%illusion to crumble their mentality. 6ven i% it doesn t have direct attac) power, -?a?el&sensei did say that your power is something to be %rightened o% by the way how you useit, you )now/!

::!

The man bites his teeth hard at Ise s words.

It loo)s li)e this man s ability has already been crac)ed by -?a?el, and thecountermeasure has already been planned.

Illusion. ;o that s how it is. ;o this space is a little garden that this man created. Hethen shows the illusion o% the parallel world, and ma)es it seem as i% the person wasreally teleported.

I% that is the case, then this really ma)es me miserable. It means I was sent to this barrier space, and on top o% having illusion cast on me, I wandered around %or two days.

The man ma)es a stance and prepares to activate his ability.

Then I will show both o% you an illusion that will ma)e you %all in despair:!

I won t let you: I won t %all %or the same tric) easily li)e that: 6ven though I saidthat, I can t use my demonic&power that well.!

Ise says it to me who can t clad the power o% destruction to my hand.*ithin this space, you can t use your power to a certain degree. ;ensei did predict tosome degree that it would be an ability li)e that.!

;o that s why I wasn t able to use o%%ensive demonic&power as well as mid&rangeteleportation magic&circle within this space. It sure is a troublesome ;acred Gear ability.It means that you will be within this man s hands once you step %oot inside here.

However, Ise didn t brea) his smile.

0ut an attac) %rom the outside will be a di%%erent story. ne(pectedly, it seems li)e it iswea) %rom an attac) %rom the outside. That s why I was able to enter. C-nd everyone areon standby outside.!

Ise who $ust said that loo)s at the hole that is in this space.


23/27

*hat: ;hit:!

The man who realised that puts his hands towards the hole, but.

;hortly, overwhelming demonic&power o% holy&lightning and an attac) with all sorts o%

di%%erent attributes starts to %all down on this man li)e rains.*hen the illusion the man created gets dissolved, I %ind mysel% in the abandoned school sground o% the deserted town located in >re%ecture =. It means that he covered this wholedeserted town with his barrier and made that illusional world.

It seems li)e he casted some spell so people won t come near this deserted town, so I cantell that he lured me here while being well prepared.

He sent me %lying here %rom the location we hunted the ;tray #evil. 6ven though hetargeted me while I had my guard down, it also proves he is +uite a %ormidable opponent.

4n top o% that, it seems li)e only several hours has passed during the two days I spentinside it. ;o he even paralysed my sense o% time. ;o it means everything I e(periencedwas an illusion.

It s an ability you can t ma)e light o%. - %ew hours is e+uivalent to several days. It shard escaping %rom inside it. #epending on how you use it, you can easily destroy youropponent s spirits, $ust li)e Ise said earlier.

The truth is, even my soul was about to be crushed. 6ven i% I didn t crumble bac)then, I would have eventually.

4n top o% having the re+uirement where it can only activate its ability within the barrier,it also doesn t have direct attac) power, however it is still a terri%ying ability. 1i)e Ithought, the power o% ;acred Gears is truly terri%ying.

4nee&sama:!

-sia who $umps into my chest. Her %ace is covered with tears. It seems li)e her eyes haveswollen because she was worried about me.

-sia, I m bac). It loo)s li)e I made you get worried.!

"eswelcome bac).!

The adorable -sia that I )now o%. I hugged her and then pat her head. I apologised %orwhat I said when Ise argued against me.

I m sorry about bac) then, -sia. I said horrible things to you.!


24/27

It s o)ay. I understand how you %eel, 4nee&sama "ou were also %illed with many pain%ul and uneasy %eelings, weren t you, 4nee&sama/ I m sorry %or not realising it.!

;he truly is a )ind girl. I really am a%oolish sister!.

I want to apologise to all o% you as well. I m sorry.!I apologised to everyone. 6veryone replies bac) at me with a smile saying, 7oworries:!.

I m really grate%ul. I m supported by such wonder%ul comrades.

The man %rom the Hero&%action who is tied up by -)eno s demonic&power at the schoolground. "uuto then says it to the man.

It seems li)e there is something ;ensei wants to as) you. ;ince he gave us an order tota)e you alive, we will be sending you to the nderworld now.!

2enovia then glares at the man.

"ou are luc)y you didn t end up being slashed by me.!

nli)e "uuto who is showing his smile, 2enovia s aura didn t carry any sign o% humour.The man continues to laugh at himsel% even under this situation.

;o there was no way %or me to beat the ones who de%eated =ao =ao and ;ieg%ried,huh%u%u%u 6ven among our members, I was wea) in terms o% attac)ing!

The man sha)es his head to the sides.

7o, li)e Ise said, your power is %rightening. 6ven I The truth is, I was in %ear whenyou showed me that world.!

"es, this man showed an ability which doesn t even hinder against the core members o%the Hero&%action.

-?a?el&sensei was also shoc)ed about you who pulled this o%% all by yoursel%. 6ven wethought we were done by you.!

The man shows his smile a%ter hearing the praises %rom Ise and I.

I see, I m really glad. ;o I was able to pay you bac).!

The man loses his ambition instantly.

aybe the %ight ended inside him since he was able to retaliate against us.

I then as) him several +uestion since I became curious.


25/27

-nswer me two things. That worldwas that your illusion/ 4r did you really madethe view %rom another world show up %or real/!

I% I said it s the latter, how would you respond/!

I showed a %earless smile at the man s +uestion.That s a %oolish +uestion. CI m right here, and Ise is also here. That will be enough me.!

The man laughs bitterly at my answer.


26/27

I had everyone warn me. That I should ta)e care o% you even more.!

6veryone. They must have realised why I got angry bac) then. They must havesensed that as %ellow girls. I sha)e my head to the side.

7o. It was my %ault. I really am sel%ish, aren t I Ise, about -sia s $ob, I will approveit. 1et s help her with all o% us.!

"es: Than) you very much:!

He shows his usual smile, and then gives his hand to me.

;o, shall we go home then/!

"eah.!

I activate the magic&circle while holding his hand.

*hile the light wraps around me and Ise, I as) him one +uestion.

Hey, Ise. I% I really did get sent to another world!

He says it to me with his usual smile.

I will de%initely come %or you. 6ven i% it ta)es %orever, I will de%initely rescue you.!

: I )now. I )now that you will de%initely rescue me.

That s because, Ise is my most important.

"eah, I love you, my lovely Ise.!

I love you too, Rias.!

I put my lips above his, while we are enveloped by the light at the centre o% the magic&circle.

"es, Ise and I, will be together %orever.

6(cept, what I didn t e(pect, is somehow the location we are being teleported to is my

real house, the Gremory castle.

It must have been a mista)e to get teleported while having me emotion high with the )iss.

4)aa&sama who witness me and Ise appear while )issing, saysD

;uddenly appearing here and showing o%% to your parent ;hameless. Rias, Ise&san.=ome over here.!
