High School DxD

Volume 13 Chapter 1

Life.1 A Tokusatsu Devil

“The Red Dragon Emperor which brings misfortune to Devils! This “Magical Girl” Levia-tan will destroy you!”

DOOOOOOOOOOOON!

In front of me, a magical girl wielding her magical stick caused the surrounding area to explode with her massive demonic powers!

“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I’m going to be kiiiiiiiiilllled!”

I am wearing a set of red armour and actually screaming, which is no act, while running away from a deadly attack of demonic power! Every single attack is so insane! The last had so much impact, that it destroyed a mountain and blew away the forest with it!

Yes. I, Hyoudou Issei, am fighting a “Magical Girl” on a mountain. No, this is more like a one-sided assault!

That’s because my opponent isn’t a Magical Girl, but a real “Maou Girl!”

I will have to go back, to explain how it turned out like this.

After summer break ended and the second semester began.......

----

“Ise, it’s an emergency.”

That day, I was called by Buchou, while playing a trading card game[1] with the other club members.

“What is it?”

I asked and Buchou answered with a smile.

“I received a request from a Maou-sama personally. It’s from Serafall Leviathan-sama.”

Maou! Yes, we received a request from one of the Yondai-Maou, who are the Kings of Devils.

“Are you serious!? If it’s Leviathan-sama, then I’m honoured!”

I shouted, with joy. Of course! The one who is the only woman within the Yondai-Maou is Leviathan-sama! I feel honoured, receiving a request from Maou-sama! ......Though she’s one of those weird people.

“She’s requesting to borrow Koneko, Gasper and Xenovia, while Ise is the main.”

Buchou continued. Gasper screamed “Hiiiiiiii!”.

“M-Me too!? I-I don’t like to stand out~!”

Aaah, he said that while running inside a box. Since this guy has anthropophobia and is a hikikomori, he is bad at standing out.

“But, why us?”

Xenovia pointed to herself. Koneko-chan was also nodding her head.

“It seems like she is in need of your special powers.”

Buchou answered.

Special powers. I have......a powerful dragon residing within me. Gasper carries Vampire blood, Koneko-chan is a Nekomata youkai, and Xenovia can wield a holy sword.

Now that I think about it, we are quite a bunch of special ones.

Buchou said, while stroking my cheek:

“I want to go with you, but Akeno and I have to leave here for special business. We’ll have Yuuto guard us. I have already told this to Leviathan-sama, so that won’t be a problem. Asia, you will also follow Ise. It will be a good experience for you.”

“Yes. I will be going with Ise-san.”

Asia nodded at Buchou’s words.

“So that’s the story. I will now leave the rest to you, since I have to escort Buchou and Akeno-san.”

Said Kiba. Ngggh! Buchou’s escort! Damn you, Casanova! He’s a lucky guy, but it can’t be helped since he is Buchou’s genuine [Knight].

Munyuun.

I then felt a soft sensation! The one holding me is Akeno-san! Aaaaaah, I couldn’t resist this sensation! Akeno-san said seductively, while stroking my lips with her fingers:

“It saddens me that I have to be away from you, but responding to the Maou-sama is something my Ise-kun would do.”

“Y-Yes!”

I replied energetically, while having a nose bleed. Due to her words, my heart skipped a beat.

Pinch!

Pinching my cheek is a loving hand that belongs to Buchou! My master, Buchou, becomes unpleasant when I get along with other women! It appears that she can’t endure having me taken away by anyone, since she adores me. I really am happy for being her servant!

“Either way, make sure you aren’t rude.”

“Y-Yessss~.”

I nodded several times, while having my cheek pinched.

That was how the five of us; me, Asia, Koneko-chan, Xenovia and Gasper, received a request from Maou-sama.

Part 2

So on a sunny day, we travelled via a teleporting magic circle and arrived on the beach of an unpopulated island.

There are no places where a ship could dock and the shore is surrounded by rough rocks. You couldn’t even find a sandy beach. The scenery of this island is mostly dominated by forests and mountains.

It definitely seems like an isolated island within a distant sea.

I can hear animal cries, “Giii! Giii!”...... By the way, apparently, this is also part of Japan.....

“Remind me, where is Maou-sama?”

As we looked around.....

DON DON DON DON!

The ground is shaking and we are affected by the tremors! W-What’s going on!?

A giant creature appears while pushing down trees! I don’t know why, but it’s a dinosaur that looks very much like a Tyrannosaurus Rex! Wait, is it a T-Rex!?

“Yoo-hoo~? Servants of Rias-chan~? It’s Levia-tan?”

A cute-looking person, riding on top of the T-Rex greeted us! She’s wearing Magical Girl cosplay! Yes, this person is none other than the Maou, Serafall Leviathan-sama!

“Stop~ stop~.”

Leviathan-sama treated the T-Rex like a horse and stopped right in front of us.

“Tou!”

She jumped off the T-Rex and spun around in mid-air, while dropping herself to the ground... BANG! Levia-tan landed face-first on the ground! Having failed to land on her feet, her pants were exposed! Maou-sama’s pants! She’s wearing striped pants!

She got up immediately and smiled, while making a peace sign at us with her fingers. But her face is covered in dirt!

“Be amazed? Serafall Leviathan, at your service?”

...... She has overwhelmingly high tension and an easy going attitude, as always...

Even when I met her before, at school, she was having a photo shoot. This Serafall Leviathan-sama over here, loves Japanese magical girl shows and she looks up to the Magical Girl genre. She even has a glittering magical stick in her hand.

“I-It’s been a while, Leviathan-sama. So what was the reason for you to call us over?”

I made the introduction short and got to the main point. What was her reason for calling us to this isolated island?

“I called all of you over, to help us shoot our film?”

She explained to us, posing. Film!?

As we were shocked, people carrying filming equipment came running, as if they were following the T-Rex. So they really are shooting a film! Did they prepare this dinosaur for the film as well?

“Serafall-sama! Scene 21, [The magical girl who gets friendly with the ancient dinosaur]! We got a good shot for it!”

From amongst the crew, a middle-aged man wearing a hat and sunglasses appeared, holding a megaphone. He looks like a typical director. So is this person the director then.......?

More than that, I’ve never heard of a magical girl who became friendly with an ancient dinosaur before!

Maou-sama then told the director:

“Director-san, these children are the ones I spoke to you about?”

“Oh! I see, so they are the Gremory group, who achieved an outstanding result in the Rating Game!”

They know us! Game, huh? If I remember, it was said that our match, the Gremory group VS the Sitri group, was broadcast within the whole world of the Devils......the whole area of the Underworld.

“Well, the thing is, this film director-san over here thought, “This is it!”, when he saw the fights, of all of you, from Rias-chan’s group. That’s why he gave all of you this offer?”

Maou-sama explained...... Offer!? So we are going to have a film debut!? The director also speaks while nodding his head.

“The truth is we are currently shooting a film version, of Serafall-sama’s tokusatsu programme, “Magical?Levia-tan”, aimed at children. We would like all of you to appear as her enemies.”

“M-Magical......Levia-tan, you say?”

I became confused after hearing the name of a show I had never heard of, but....

“......It is basically like a tokusatsu hero programme, that is currently highly praised in the Underworld. It’s quite popular among children.”

Koneko-chan explains to me. I see, a tokusatsu programme in the Underworld. So this will be an Underworld version, of those masked hero tokusatsu films being broadcast in Japan. Though this one has a magical girl as it’s theme.

“The setting is about me, Levia-tan, who is the ally of Devils and fights against Angels, Fallen Angels, Dragons and those related to the Church?. I will be annihilating all the enemies of Devils at once?!”

Maou-sama made a cute pose, but those words are only filled with danger!

“......Angels and Fallen Angels have been the natural enemy of Devils for an eternity, but we finally managed to make peace with them. Is it really okay to have such an anti-government setting?”

When I asked, the director smiled and laughed fearlessly.

“It is my motto to include an anti-government message within my work.”

This is supposed to be a programme directed at kids! He’s using it as propaganda! Adults sure are scary! Is this really okay, Levia-tan!?

“But, why us?”

I asked an obvious question. Buchou is from a noble house and her household is known throughout the Underworld. However, we, her servants, aren’t actors, but mere Devils. On top of that, we are Low-class Devils.

If I remember correctly, Buchou was saying something about our “Special Powers”. Is that the reason for this? The director then says, while putting his thumb up.

“After all, you are a legendary dragon, a holy sword wielder, a Vampire, and a Nekomata youkai! Yes! It’s filled with the rivals of Devils! On top of that, all of you are known throughout the Underworld from the recent match! All of you are being talked about a lot! That is why I asked for all of you to act as the enemies of Levia-tan!”

So he made this offer, including the members of our group, while taking into account that we are currently quite topical. We have so much variety within our group. So, we will be Maou-sama’s enemies then?

“This seems interesting.”

Oh, Xenovia seems like she’s up for it.

“I-I’m scared...but since it’s Maou-sama’s request.......”

The timid Gasper also agreed while hiding behind my back.

“Are the two of you also fine with this, Asia, Koneko-chan? Though I think we have to do it...”

When I asked both of them...

“Yes. I will do my best.”

“Yes, if they are okay with having me......”

They gave me their approval.

I’m also fine with it. Rather, now that I think about it, won’t this open a path for me to become an actor!? I might become popular with this film! I might also become popular amongst females in the Underworld!

I then imagined myself receiving cheers from fan girls while being protected by guards.

[Kyaaa~! Ise-sama~!]

[Look this way~!]

[Aaaan~! You are just too awesome~!]

Cheers which are being thrown!

[I...I’m so happy......]

[Hey! Another one fainted with joy, again!]

A girl faints and security guards take her away.

I then smile at this sight.

[Fufufu, I’m such a sinner!]

The girls make cheers once again at my cool posing.

...............

Gufufu! Awesome. Something like that sure would be awesome! That would be the best!

Maybe then, I can take the fan girls and...... No, no, maybe getting along with an actress in the Underworld, being caught during our secret date and having it on a magazine might also be good!

Ah, I can’t stop imagining it! My dream is to become a Harem King by becoming a High-class Devil, but becoming an actor and being popular with girls might not be a bad thing either!

“Then I can do things like this to the gravure idol in the Underworld and......”

I then made a gesture of poking oppai with my fingers! And I started drooling!

Stomp~!

Koneko-chan steps heavily on my foot! Ouch ouch ouch!

“.........Imagining indecent things is forbidden.”

Koneko-sama is strict as always! I wiped my drool and answered the director!

“Roger that! We, the servants of Rias Gremory, happily accept the offer of acting as the enemies in the film!”

That is how our appearance in the film was decided.

Part 3

“.....It’s...heavy.”

GASHAN GASHAN

The sound of metal colliding. The filming began as soon as we agreed to appear in the movie and we are currently inside a forest.

I changed into a costume that was given to me.....

It’s red-plated armour. Apparently this is an imitation of Boosted Gear Scale Mail.

Since transforming has so many requirements (Mainly my limited time in Balance-Break), it was decided that I would use this imitation.

.......This armour happens to be heavy. It really is a mass of metal. Apparently it is made using Devil’s technology and even though it is very hard, they made it as light as possible. It also happens to have a high resistance to impacts and it is really heavy!

The quality of the imitation is high. It can also emit sounds from the jewels and slide open the mask as well.

I don’t have a feeling that my armour is heavy when I transform. But I realise it must be really heavy, when I wear this thing........

“Giii Giii!”

Mysterious cries can be heard again. Man it’s scaaaaaary! Like the time with that dinosaur, I really can’t predict what exists in here. This place definitely isn’t Japan!

“Ise-san.”

Asia’s voice. When I turned around.....

“D-Do I look good in it?”

Asia is standing there wearing a costume, equipped with ominous accessories!

“Asia, what is that costume?”

“Yes, it’s supposed to be a costume for the priestess who worships the Red Dragon Emperor.”

Oh, so she’s a priestess. If you think about it, she does look like one........does she....? When an innocent Asia wears such an ominous costume, it gives me mixed feelings.......

“Apparently I am the evil holy sword wielder.”

Xenovia appears. Oh, that sure looks like a costume belonging to an Amazon, which seems quite easy to move in. Her skin is exposed so much that it’s feeding my eyes!

“But an evil holy sword wielder..... Fufufu, it might be a fitting role for a former Christian like myself who became a Devil on a whim.”

Aaah, there she goes again. This girl has started to think and wonder about unreasonable things, again....

“.......And I’m a maid.”

This time it’s Koneko-chan. –Wait, this is......! She’s wearing a maid costume while having her cat ears and tail released! It has an overwhelming impact when Koneko-chan, who is small, wears it! She’s so cute!

Me in plate armour, Asia in an evil-looking priestess costume, Xenovia in a Amazon holy sword wielder costume and Koneko-chan in a Nekomata maid costume.

Hmm, there is so much variety in our group. It really is an unrealistic enemy role for Levia-tan.

For the setting, I am an evil dragon which was sealed within this island. Koneko-chan and the others are from an enemy organisation, who decided to make their move to resurrect the dragon.

This story is about Levia-tan coming to this island, in order to stop their plan. Well, that is a completely typical setting for a children’s programme.

“.......Where is Gya-kun?”

Koneko-chan looks around. Ah, that guy Gasper is not here. He was supposed to be positioned somewhere, acting as a Vampire. What kind of costume is he wearing?

“......I-I’m here.”

Gasper’s voice. I can hear his voice. But I can’t see him when I look around.

“......I-I’m here~.”

When I looked in the direction the voice came from.......my sight stopped at a single large box.

........There are two holes in the box and there are red eyes shining from within.

Don’t tell me this is.......

“H...Hey, Gyasuke. Don’t tell me you will be appearing in that?”

When I asked, I hear a lively voice from within the box.

“Y-Yes! When they were choosing my costume, I ran inside this box and the Director-san who saw that...”

[This is new! Alright, we will position you as a Danball Vampire!]

“And that’s how it is.”

And that’s how it is. What the heeeeeeell! Gasper indeed has a habit of hiding inside a box, but is it really okay for them to make him act in this!?

“Are you really okay with this!?”

Your face won’t appear, you know!? You will stand out in a weird way, but are you really okay with this!?

“Yes!”

He answers me with a lively voice! Yeah, I really don’t understand what’s going on!

This is such an insane cast! They added a Danball Vampire on top of the cast I mentioned earlier!

I’m so scared that we will get complaints from the world of Vampires for making a box, a Vampire, without making him show himself! Wouldn’t it be faster to use a normal box and alter it using CG afterwards!?

“Everyone, after all of you look through the script, we will move onto filming.”

We got an announcement from the staff.

Well, this is how the filming began. I can only feel uneasy about this.

Scene A “Levia-tan VS Nekomata Youkai & Danball Vampire!”

Just like that, the filming began. First, Levia-tan is flying through a forest, where evil beasts reside, using her Devil wings.

“.........Levia-tan, I won’t let you go past here.”

Koneko-chan who is acting as the enemy Nekomata-maid appears! Just as the director wanted, to have her act as she naturally would. Koneko-chan was behaving like her usual self without any acting at all.

“You must be one of those who are trying to resurrect the legendary Red Dragon Emperor! What are you planning to do by waking up the Dragon Emperor sleeping within this forest!?”

Wow, Leviathan-sama sure is in high spirits.

“........It’s none of your business. If you are planning to get in our way, we will just have to eliminate you.”

Koneko-chan makes her stand. Koneko-chan, you sure have good acting skills.

“Tou! Levia-beam!”

Leviathan-sama shoots out a beam from her magical stick! Wow! So they won’t be using CG for these parts!

“Magical?Levia-tan basically doesn’t use any CG, we try to get attention by having her act using her actual demonic powers.”

The staff explain to me, due to my shocked expression.

It sure is convenient, the power of Devils....the demonic power that is! Apparently that demonic power is one used by Leviathan-sama only for acting purposes, so even if you are hit, the impact isn’t that serio---

DOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

An explosive sound occurred, in the direction the beam headed and the trees were blown away.

.................

That has an insane power! For acting purpose!? With that!?

She didn’t do it seriously, but that is still a beam from a Maou! Of course it will have insane power! Wait, Koneko-chan is in danger! Just as I became concerned for Koneko-chan......

“........You won’t be able to take me down with that.”

Koneko-chan had swiftly dodged it! To be expected from a Nekomata!

“Amazing! To be expected from a Gremory servant!”

The director was also applauding. More than that, what would they have done if she couldn’t dodge that......

Yeah, I shouldn’t think too much about that.

But will I be okay if I get hit by that? I just have to believe in this plate armour, which was specially made!

I’m glad there isn’t an action scene in this story for Asia. For Asia, who just has so-so reflexes, she would die if she gets hit by those beams without doing anything!

Then one of those beams hits Koneko-chan! This is bad!

I was in shock.....but it doesn’t appear that Koneko-chan took any critical damage. Also, her clothes weren’t blown away.

“It’s okay. Serafall-sama weakens her attack when it hits others.”

The staff explains to me, once again.

I...Is that so? That’s good. In other words, the attacks which could be dodged by the actors have power in them, while she minimises the damage on the attacks that hit them.

I would cry if Koneko-chan was blown away.

“........Ugh.”

Koneko-chan acts by dropping on her knees.

“The cat Youkai-san! Now, will you still fight me!?”

Levia-tan points her magical stick at Koneko-chan. Then.....

“.......S-S-Stop right there~-~-~.”

Gasper’s voice echoes......and a box appears in front of Levia-tan!

It’s a cardboard box! It seriously is only a cardboard box!

“I...I.....I aaaaaaaaam a Vampire~!”

Oh man, he’s so nervous that he couldn’t say his lines properly! It can’t be helped. For Gasper who shuts himself in his room, starring in a film is something you call cruel. It appears he is only just able to act, by hiding himself inside the box.

“Unlike the n-n-n-n-n-n-nekomata, I.....I....I.....I........”

Before Gasper could say any more.

FLAP!

A giant black shadow comes into the filming area! Wow! It’s a huge bird monster! Is this also part of the film!?

“Gii-Gii-!”

Ah. So that weird sound I heard, when I came to this island, belongs to that suspicious bird! The giant bird grips onto “Gasper in the box” with its claws and.....

“Gii-Gii!”

It flew up, into the sky!

This is also acting huh..... Hey hey, that guy Gasper was taken away, high into the sky. Is that bird Levia-tan’s familiar or something?

“That bird, what is that?”

“No idea.”

Then the staff and the director had an ominous conversation~! Eeeeeeeeeh!? Is this an accident!?

“Gaspeeeeeeeer!”

My scream echoes high through the sky!

Gasper disappears into the sky together with that giant bird.....

I then imagined in my head, seeing Gasper’s smiling face in the sky. Later that day, I was told that the giant bird is a legendary creature which is called the “The magical-bird of the Heavenly sky”, Ziz.

Why is such a famous creature on this island and was he the only one taken away? I only have doubts about this, but for now I will make sure I never forget about Gasper, who was taken away, for the rest of my life......

Scene B: “Levia-tan VS Holy-sword Wielder & Danball Vampire Shogun!”

“Hiiiiiiiiiiiin! It felt as though I was being lifted up! My body felt as if it was being taken up all of a sudden~!”

After that, Gasper was rescued safely and he was crying inside the box.

By the way, that scene was invaded by the sudden intrusion of a giant bird, but since it was an interesting scene they gave it an “okay”.

It seems the director was deeply moved by the cardboard box Vampire, who was taken away by the giant bird; so much so, that he immediately decided to use Gasper again for the next scene.

.......Well, this guy is the only Danball Vampire in the world who ever flew up into the sky, being taken away by the giant bird after all..... Rather than that, when I looked at the script, I realised that Gasper’s role was changed into a “Danball Vampire Shogun”......

When on earth did he get a class-change!? Can you gain enormous experience points when you get taken to an island or something!?

Then the location changed, to mysterious ruins. It seems like they prepared this whole ruin, with stone carvings, for today.

Levia-tan and the holy sword wielder, aka Xenovia, fight there. I lend my holy sword Ascalon to Xenovia. She still can’t control the power of Durandal yet and since the destructive power of it is insane, it wouldn’t be a matter of filming any more.

“Holy sword Wielder-san! Move aside from there! I can’t let you awaken the Dragon Emperor!”

“Fufufu, like I will let you do that!”

Xenovia, she totally sounds like she is acting!

W-Well, it can’t be helped since we are basically amateurs.

“Here I come!”

“Bring it!”

Both of them move quickly and they were making sparks fly using a sword and a magical staff.

Wow, it’s such an amazing battle! They are a Maou-sama and a swords-woman after all. I can watch this safely. I’m also shocked at the magical stick, which can cope against Ascalon! Is this something I should have expected from a magical stick belonging to a Maou Girl!?

Levia-tan shoots several shots of demonic power, which are meant for filming, while Xenovia dodges or slices them with the holy sword. Even the staff were looking at them seriously, because of their swift actions and movements.

For this scene, rather than using crappy dialogue it would be better to lure viewers with action, so we are getting the perfect shot for this scene.

The battle enters the climax and Levia-tan’s demonic power finally blows away Xenovia’s holy sword. The holy sword which was blown away penetrates the earth!

“Ku, you are strong, Levia-tan~”

As usual, Xenovia is bad at acting. She lacks intensity but then the scene, which was added, comes in right away!

“Vampire, please save me~”

Xenovia calls for help.

The added scene will have “Gasper in the box” come and save Xenovia who is in danger.

The camera focuses on the position where Gasper is located. Then—

“Munch munch.”

There is a T-Rex which is munching and eating the box Gasper is in!

Gasper is being eateeeeeen!

“Gaspeeeeeeer!”

My scream echoes through the filming area once again!

Gasper, I want to carry on the courage you showed me.

Scene C: “Final Battle of Levia-tan. Resurrected, The Legendary Dragon Emperor! & Danball Vampire God!”

“Fueeeeeeeeeeeeee~! It was stinky~! The dinosaur’s mouth was so warm and wet. It was scary when he was munching on me~!”

After that, Gasper who was safely rescued, was crying inside the new box he was given.

About the scene where the "box" was eaten by the dinosaur, again it was decided to put that scene in the film. Apparently they decided to add Gasper in the last scene as well.

I don’t get it! Is that director planning to make a film which has a box as the main character? I also think he is a new kind of box, since he was abducted by a bird and was eaten by a dinosaur..... But if it was me, I wouldn’t want to watch it.

They will definitely be criticised by the Vampire world! In the script, it now has “Danball Vampire God” added to it! Do you get upgraded to God-class when you get devoured by a dinosaur!?

It feels like he is in a higher class than me, who is going to become the last boss of this film.... It’s going to turn into a scene where the box will be going at Levia-tan, but Leviathan-sama is......

“It’s going to turn into the best film there is?. The part where you can’t predict how the story will end, will be the key point for its success!”

Yeah, I also can’t predict what’s going to happen. No one will be thinking that they will be shown a movie about a box when they were planning to watch Levia-tan’s film. Will the children enjoy a film where a box is getting along with a bird and dinosaur......?

“Danball-kun! I will send your lines to you!”

The Director-san writes something for “Gasper in the box”. What he wrote was....

“Fall Angels”, “Disappear Fallen Angels” and dangerous messages like that, which will be anti-government messages!

“Please don’t say those things in a kids’ film! Especially with a Vampire in a box saying that! You’ll just turn many factions into our enemies!”

I protested against the director! We are turning into actors for such an outrageous anti-government film!

“I don’t want this to be a mere children’s film. This film will change the World!”

“Don’t change it!”

I ended up arguing with the director..... What kind of film is this going to turn into....

Well, that doesn’t matter. It will be my scene from here. I checked my lines. After Asia finishes her prayers at the altar, there will be a glow and then I have to appear, along with an explosion and smoke.

Fufufu, I’m going to make myself stand out so much that I will turn into the best actor there is! I don’t care whether this is an anti-government film. It will be okay as long as I stand out! In the future I’m going to have lots of sex with beautiful actresses!

What is standing out in the scene for the final battle is a big statue of a dragon! In front of that there is a ritual taking place to remove the seal on the Dragon Emperor and Asia, who is acting as an evil priestess, is saying her prayer.

“Dragon Emperor-sama, Dragon Emperor-sama. Please hear my evil wishes~. Please defeat Levia-tan with all of your mighty, evil power~.”

It sounds like she is totally acting, but Asia-chan looks so cute when she is doing her best acting! I want to pat her after this!

After her prayer, Levia-tan appeared and....

“So this is the place where the Dragon Emperor is sealed! Ah! The prayers have already started! This is bad!”

Then she confronts Asia.

“Stop your prayers now!”

Levia-tan makes a stance with the magical stick.

Asia stood up while lifting her arms up high. Now, after Asia’s next lines the dragon statue is going to split in half and then I will show myself. I will be stationed behind the statue. I’m nervous, but I’m going to do my best. I did memorise my lines somehow!

Rather, I want to end this and take this armour off! It’s heavy, it’s hot in here and this is the worst!

“Aaah, Dragon Emperor-sama. Now is the time for your resurrection~.”

After this, the statue splits!

FLASH!

A flash occurs and the statue splits open going to the sides while making a ”GOGOGOGOGOOGOGO” sound.

Alright! Now is my time!

I leapt forward from behind the statue and through some smoke.

“Fuhahahahahahaha! I am the Red Dragon Emperor! I received the prayers of the evil ones and I have resurrected, once again, into this world! Fuhahahahahahaha! First I will destroy the Underworld, where the Devils who sealed me, are living~!”

I laughed loudly! Yup! I think my appearance was right. The director didn’t say "cut" either. Levia-tan appears in front of me and points her stick at me.

“So you have finally awoken, Dragon Emperor! I won’t let you go to the Underworld! I will obliterate you right here!”

“Fuhahahahahahaha! It’s foolish for a single Devil girl to oppose this Dragon Emperor. Very well, I will make you into a bloodbath first~!”

I sure am hyped in this! Maybe acting as an enemy might be fun!

After this, Levia-tan and I started the fight.

Ummm, if I remember correctly, this armour is supposed to be equipped with a demonic power output and a flame-thrower.

I was trying to prepare for a battle, but Levia-tan started to gather huge demonic powers to her magical stick right in front of me. The wave of demonic powers is making the atmosphere shake and it gave me a feeling of being in huge danger.

.................H...Huh? Is it just me or is that demonic power a bit too strong.....? It has so much demonic power that it is dangerous......

No matter how you look at it, it seems like it has too much attack power in it......

“Dragon Emperor! I shall defeat you!”

The next moment, the huge demonic power which was released from her stick with so much deadly power, explodes around me.

I was caught in the explosion and was sent flying, into the sky!

Part 4

Getting back to the story!

I was running around while making sounds with the armour!

I’ll be killed! Leviathan-sama is releasing quite a strong demonic power towards me!

I then see the message card that the staff is showing me......

[This is an important scene for the final battle, so both of you will be shooting at each other a bit seriously]

A bit seriously, you say!? My opponent is a Maou you know!? Her demonic power when she is being a bit serious is so powerful that it changes the appearances of the mountains! The island is being grazed away every time I dodge her attacks!

“Stay still! Fight me head on!”

Levia-tan comes after me! I’m going to be killed! Look look look! There are dangerous amounts of dangerous demonic-powers gathering at her stick!

DOOOOOOOOOOOON!

The earth was blown away with the shot she released! Uwaah! There is a huge crater made in the ground, where it hit! Ah! There is a crack on this armour which was supposed to have a strong resistance to impacts! Like I thought, it doesn’t have a defence which can withstand a Maou’s attack huh!

It turned out like this with just a shockwave! If I was to get hit by it directly, I will be blown to pieces!

There isn’t any "cut" call yet! What is the meaning of this!? No matter how you look at it, this is a one-sided massacre! When I looked in the director’s direction......he nodded his head very strongly and gave me a thumbs up!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!? This is okay!?

I was so shocked, that my eyes popped out, but Levia-tan’s attack doesn’t stop at all. I only had the choice of running around! However the film won’t be done properly if I just keep on running around!

I made my mind up and turned around. I then tried to use the demonic-power output and flame thrower!

Booooooon. Pyun-Pyun.

From the head of my armour, a flame thrower released a fire, which was like a mere burner, and it released a couple of softball-sized demonic power from my right hand and it ended with just that.

“This is itttttttt!? Impossible! There is no way I can win with just this!”

I was in shock and noticed another message card.

[We will alter this scene a bit with CG afterwards to make it proper.]

“What do you mean by making it ‘proper’!?”

This is over! This tokusatsu film is hopeless!

“To be expected from the Dragon Emperor! Such an amazing attack! But I won’t lose!”

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, Leviathan-sama is also speaking as if I did an amazing attack! So it’s decided that my attack earlier will be modified with CG huh!

“Take this!”

A powerful shot comes at me and.....

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

The demonic power released from her stick blows me away marvellously.......

Gufu. Because I was caught in the explosion, I was spinning around numerous times in mid air..... I tried hard to stand up and run away after I fell down on the ground.

My whole body hurts..... My armour also lost its shape..... At this rate, I will be killed...... Since there isn’t any cut call, it means that filming is still continuing.....

“S-Senpai!”

Gasper’s voice. When I looked in the direction the voice came from, there was a box.

“Gya.....Gya-suke.....”

I made my battered body move and approached Gasper.

Ku........ My wounds hurt.......

“.......Fufufu, I wasn’t able to defeat Leviathan-sama.......”

When I crawled in front of the box, I poked in my shivering finger into a hole in the box. I have blood on my finger because of a minor wound.

“.......Suck my blood....... With that, you will be able to power up.....”

I released a shivering voice. No...... My consciousness is disappearing.....

“S-Senpai! I.....I......!”

“Gasper...... Maybe this era is waiting for a box like yourself..... Please avenge me on behalf of the Gremory group.....”

I dropped flat on the ground, while having my finger inside the hole. This is bad..... I can’t move any more.

“Senpaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai! Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Gasper’s scream. After that Gasper started to suck my finger, Chupa chups. Ah, it feels so warm inside Gasper’s mouth..... I started to think such a BL thing while I was losing my consciousness.

DON!

While my vision was blurry, I understood that the box was enveloped in a abnormal aura. It seems like Gasper released his power after sucking my blood.

“Levia-tan! I will be your opponent!”

When Gasper said that.....the box flew up very wildly! While observing the rare scene of a box changing its direction many times in the air, it heads towards Levia-tan very fast.

“What movements! Is this the power of a Danball Vampire God!?”

Levia-tan was also surprised by Gasper’s movements. Both of them fly around in the air, and they were having a fierce battle.

Ah, the danball box was moving swiftly in the air, while dodging Levia-tan’s demonic power attacks. Then the box does a body attack at the Maou Girl, while moving rapidly.

Levia-tan and a danball box started to have a fierce battle in the sky of this island....

A-Amazing.....I never knew that a box is able to fight a Maou......

“Film that box! You won’t be able to film a thing like this ever again! That box is amazing! It’s flying! And it’s fighting a Maou!”

The director was also overjoyed.

Fufufu, Gasper. You can actually do it when you try.....

I lost my consciousness while observing a courageous side of my junior.

A Dragon Emperor, which is lower than a danball box, falls here.

Part 5

[That is how, Magical?Levia-tan defeated a powerful foe, the Danball Vampire God, and brought peace to the Underworld.]

The screening of premium filming session. We, the Gremory group, were observing the film “Magical?Levia-tan: Attack of the Danball Vampire God!” in a huge theatre, along with Buchou and the others who couldn’t participate in it. The last narration just ended and along with that, the film.

“Thank you! Thank you!”

Leviathan-sama, who was up on the stage, was receiving applause from and responding to the audience.

All of me, Asia, Koneko-chan and Xenovia appeared in the film, but the box, Gasper, stood out the most. Even the title of the film “The attack of the Red Dragon Emperor” was changed after all.....

Those related to the film industry were praising the new way of using a box and its movement. They were saying things such as, “This film is the best box-related film of the year!” and such.....

It seems Gasper has received offers from many directors already. Of course for acting as danball that is. I really can’t understand the world of Devils......

“It’s quite a good film. Ise and all of you did very well. Especially Gasper, who was amazing.”

Our master, Buchou, was overjoyed at the efforts of her servants. I feel complicated, but since Buchou is happy, this is an okay result.

“U..Umm, Ise-san.”

Asia calls me.

“What’s wrong, Asia?”

“There are girls, who became Ise-san’s fans after watching the film. They are asking for a handshake.”

What!? I see. Fufufu. So my charm was finally realised by the girls, through that film. This is an okay start for my career as an actor!

Very well. My fan girls! Now, jump into my arms---

[GASHAN GASHAN]

[GASHAN GASHAN]

What appeared in front of me was a plate armour and a musha armour. .......Eh, what are these.......?

“.......It seems they are armour monsters.”

Koneko-chan explains. Y-Yeah. What do these armour monsters want with me....?

“........These people are girls and it appears that they became fans after seeing Ise-san in armour.”

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!? These are girls!? Impossible!

GASAHAN!

The armour monsters hug me! Guha! Ouch ouch ouch! This cold and hard feeling of metal starts to destroy both my body and soul!

“I will never appear in a film ever again~!”

My scream echoes throughout the cinema.

Thus, my summer filming experience ended with me being popular with armour monsters.

Later, this film also became quite known and talked about as a film that I, the Oppai Dragon, appeared in before being a major hit.
