High School DxD

Volume 11 Chapter 5

......The crumbling field.

I’m walking......in that field...... But I don’t have the strength to walk any more......

I’m going forward......while having Ophis lend me her shoulder...... It’s the effect of the curse......

......It’s truly ironic since I’m having Ophis help me when I came to rescue her......

......My eyesight is getting blurry. ......That’s weird, since I’m not even sleepy.

............I don’t feel the pain......from Samael’s curse now......

It doesn’t hurt......nor is it painful......

[Partner! It’s almost time! Azazel and the others are probably about to open the Dragon Gate for us! Then the only thing left for them is to summon us!]

......Ddraig. I know it...... Let’s go on......

......Oh yeah, what should I do once I get home......? Reflect on......what I did wrong for the promotion test with everyone......?

......Oh yeah......we still have the mid-semester test as well......

............Once I get......home, I will first......

“......Hey Ophis.”

“?”

“What do you want to do once you return......?”

“Return? I, do not have any place to return to. The dimensional gap, I do not have the power to return to it.”

“......Then you can return......to my place......”

“The house of Sekiryuutei?”

“......Yeah, that’s right. If you were able to get along with......Asia......and Irina......then you can get along with......everyone else as well......”

My legs......won’t go any further......

Huh......? My sight......goes to the side......and then up......

......Did I fall down......? No, I can’t even tell that......

“......Ophis, have you ever......fallen in love with someone......?”

......What am I saying......?

However......I can see......that beautiful......crimson hair......in my mind......

[Partner, get a hold of yourself! Everyone is waiting for you!]

......Yeah I know......

......Asia......is a cry-baby so I have to return quickly......

......Akeno-san......is a very fragile person......even if she looks like that............and Koneko-chan......I’m glad she’s getting along with Ravel......

......Xenovia......and Irina......I remember when they were enemies at first......

“Ddraig, this person has the curse circulating through his entire body. —He’s at his limits.”

[I know that, Ophis! I already know that! But he won’t die! This man has always kept on standing up!]

......Rossweisse-san......Gasper......hurry and come......home......

............Azazel-sensei......Kiba............Matsuda, Motohama......my important......

[Let’s go home! Partner! What are you doing! Stand up! You always stood up!]

............Sairaorg-san......Vali......I still......want to fight......you guys......

........................Rias......the one I love............

?——Ise, come back to me.?

........................I’m glad that......I confessed to her............

......I will definitely............return to......your......side......

“I love you Rias............”

I’m glad......that I could at least......say that......

........................——

“......Ddraig, this person isn’t moving.”

[............Yeah.]

“......Ddraig, you are crying?”

[............Yeah.]

“I, only knew him for a short time.”

[............Yeah.]

“He wasn’t a bad person. —He was my first friend.”

[......Yeah, it was fun. ......Hey, Ophis. No, this man’s last friend.]

“What is it?”

[Can you listen to my story for a bit, before I move on to a new host?]

“Okay.”

[I want you to remember this man forever. Let me talk about him......]

“Was he a good Sekiryuutei?”

[Yeah, this is the story about the man who was the best Sekiryuutei.]
