High School DxD

Volume 12 Chapter 4

[A dream?]

I, Hyoudou Issei, nodded at Ddraig’s question.

“Yeah. I saw a weird dream when I was sleeping. Many children were crying. When I asked them why, they told me they were crying because they were scared of the big monsters. That’s why I told the children. That I would appear when they draw a circle and press the middle by saying [Zoom Zoom Iyaaan].”

Ddraig sighs after hearing me.

[.....For you to do such a posture when you hated it when other people did them......]

“I couldn’t help it! I thought an act like that was needed to cheer up the children! ......And when I did that, the nervousness disappeared from the children’s faces. Oppai sure are amazing.”

Ddraig makes an even deeper sigh. Well I’m talking about what happened in my dream, so don’t let it get to you!

[.......Haa. You are right. –So how is your new body?]

-Ddraig asks me. I just had my soul transferred to my new body that was taken out of the cocoon. ......It felt weird seeing my body in front of me, but I again realised that it is my body after I got my soul transferred into it. There isn’t the slightest change in my new body from my previous one. My sense of touch is working when I make a grip.

“Hell yeah! With this I can grope Rias and Akeno-san’s oppai!”

I began doing image training by moving my fingers! Aaah, the rich oppai of Rias, and the elastic oppai of Akeno-san which sticks onto my hands..... Remembering about them can easily refill my stomach ten times!

Yes, my body is working. I have my armour on as well. So what kind of change is there compared to my previous body then?

[Appearance, shape, and certain parts are the same as that of a human. You can continue your life normally like before. But since the evil-pieces are missing from your body, you can say that you are a humanoid Dragon. Even though there was help from Ophis, you received your flesh from Great Red. You can say that you are a small True-Dragon.]

So in other words I am like Great Red’s child.

[On top of that Uroboros’ power is added into it. Even in this state, your basic physical abilities have improved a bit from before. ......Well you were originally crap to begin with, so it only improved that much......]

I’m sorry for originally being crap! I was just an ordinary high school boy!

[The merit of it is improvement of your physical abilities which I just stated, and I can’t predict what kind of growth you will be going through after having the power of True-Dragon and Dragon-God added to you. Also it is okay for you to move away from Great Red now.]

Wasn’t my power already hard to predict anyway? Because of breast-power and stuff.

[Well that is true...... The demerit is like I said before, you lost many abilities because you no longer have the evil-pieces within you that were the source of your abilities. Also the danger of dragon-slayers has greatly increased since you have gained the powers of Great-Red and Ophis.]

.....Those two demerits are certainly bad. Well, for the evil-pieces I can ask Rias for them again, but it’s also very frightening to learn that the damage I’ll receive from dragon-slayers has increased as well.

.....It really is hard to describe that pain in words..... If possible, I would desire never to feel such a pain ever again. Now what should we do from here then? Even if I stay, the only thing here are the golems that have already stopped functioning, Gogmagog, that are floating throughout the dimensional gap...... Those golems were actually floating in the dimensional gap. Then it happened as I was thinking of a way to return to everyone, I heard a familiar melody.

What.......? Isn’t this......?

[....Look, Partner.]

I looked up after Ddraig urged me. On the sky, “it” was reflected.

-The smiles of the children in the Underworld begin appearing throughout the sky. The children draw a circle and press the middle. They then sing that song very loudly and energetically.

THERE IS AN OPPAI LOVING DRAGON LIVING IN THE EDGE OF A CERTAIN COUNTRY

THE DRAGON GOES FOR A WALK WHEN THE WEATHER IS GOOD

DRAGON DRAGON OPPAI-DRAGON

GROPE-GROPE SUCK-SUCK PAFU-PAFU

THERE ARE SO MANY TYPES OF OPPAI

BUT HE LIKES THE BIG ONES THE BEST

THE OPPAI-DRAGON ALSO FLIES TODAY

IN AN EDGE OF A CERTAIN TOWN, THE OPPAI-DRAGON WAS LAUGHING

EVEN IN A STORMY DAY, THE OPPAI-DRAGON BECOMES HAPPY BY PRESSING OPPAI

DRAGON DRAGON OPPAI-DRAGON

CLICK-CLICK ZOOM-ZOOM IYAAAN

HE HAS SEEN LOTS OF OPPAI, BUT HE LIKES BIG ONES THE BEST

OPPAI-DRAGON ALSO PUSHES TODAY

[Great-Red is saying that he is reflecting the feelings of all the children in the Underworld here.]

....All of..... Are you serious? So this song is from the children who are calling out to me.....! I’m so happy that my chest is full. Everyone is calling out to me....!

[Great-Red represents dreams..... The dream one has. The dream one saw. The dream one imagined. He is showing it to us. Maybe your strong wish to return home has made Great-Red appear by responding to your dream.]

Ddraig says that.

.....The one who represents dreams. So Great-Red appeared by responding to my wish, and maybe Great-Red is showing this to us.

“Yeah. But this is real. The children are singing for me.....! And it even reached here.....! It has reached me.....!”

I couldn’t keep my tears from falling down when I saw the smiles of the children and heard their song.

[....Weird. The song I detested so much.... Now it feels strong to me. ......Kukuku. Looks like I’m seriously breaking down now......]

“Let it be Ddraig. This song is something which is very warm. That’s right. I am an Oppai-Dragon that lives in an edge of a certain country, and flies to look for oppai both in shiny and rainy days while laughing.....! That’s because I love oppai! I have to return to everyone’s side!”

[Yeah, let’s go back Partner. –Can I ask you to do that Great-Red? Can you return this man to those children’s places?]

Ddraig asks the “Sekiryuu-shintei”. Great-Red makes a single loud howl. Then the space in front of us bends, and a crack is made.[1]

-From there I can see a very large town. .....I can sense a familiar aura from there. Judging from the colour of the sky, that must be the Underworld. Yeah, it’s an aura which makes my heart feel at peace. My pal’s aura. My important comrades’ aura. And the aura of the woman I love..... I then said it to Ophis next to me.

“Ophis, I’m going. To the place where I can return...”

“I see. That.... Makes me a bit jealous.”

Ophis seems lonely. ......You don’t need to feel lonely anymore right? I then gave my hand to Ophis.

“-You are coming with me.”

Ophis opens her eyes wide and seems astonished. I said it with a smile.

“You are friends with me, right? Then come. –Let’s go together.”

This moment, the Dragon which is said to be the strongest smiles.

“Ddraig and I are friends. I will go together with you.”

Ophis and I took each other’s hand. Yes, this is good. This is okay.

Let’s go home, shall we? To the place we can return to.....

I, together with Ophis and Great-Red, went through the crack created within the dimensional gap.......
