High School DxD

Volume 14 Prologue

Now, I will show you the powers of the young Devils.

Yes, I will make you regret turning the Devils of the Kuou Academy into your enemies.

On a morning after quite some days had passed since the monster crisis in the Underworld—

“............This is my room, right?”

I’m in a position where I have to ask myself that question.

“......Suu~ Suu~.”

“......Ise-san.”

Rias’s breathing and Asia’s sleep-talking that I can hear from my bed. A view that isn’t different from usual. After all, I sleep with Rias and Asia all the time.

The problems start from here.

“......Ise-kun......do it more roughly......”

Akeno-san who is saying seductive words in her sleep,

“......Guu guu......”

Xenovia who is sleeping with her stomach exposed,

“......The manjuu[1]of the Heaven is so delicious......”

Irina who is drooling and using Xenovia like a hug-pillow. On top of that—

“......Nyan......”

Koneko-chan who is sleeping like a cat,

“............”

and Ophis, who is sleeping while putting her hand above her chest like a dead person.

So a situation like that is happening on my bed with those members.

......Yeah, even if my bed is huge, I won’t be able to sleep here with this many people...... So there is a magnificent view of my bed full of girls.

I’m already out of bed. Rather, I woke up on the floor. Most likely, I was kicked out by Xenovia in her sleep. That’s because Xenovia is in a position where she is sticking her left foot forward!

There are many girls on my bed! This should be a happy situation for me......but I suddenly became sad and lonely because there isn’t any space for me!

I breathe out while sitting on the chair.

Since that monster crisis ended, it’s been like this every morning. My bed is dominated by the girls before I realise it. It seems like the other girls sneak into the room while Rias, Asia, and I are sleeping.

It seems like the actions of the girls of our group got more daring since the incident about my life and death thing...... They start to seek strongly for me. It’s not anything sexual but more of a daily life thing. For example, on our walk towards school in the morning, the girls start to fight over the position of walking beside me......

“Standing beside Ise’s position belongs to me, Akeno. This is something which won’t ever change.”

“I won’t allow that Rias! Ufufu, if it’s next to him, there is his right side and his left side. If Rias is taking his right side, then I will be taking his left side.”

The Onee-samas take both my sides immediately!

“Hauu~! Both of Ise-san’s arms are already full, Xenovia-san!”

“Asia, it becomes a fatal blow when a single guard is let down. If it’s like this, then we have to take the position on his back. What do you think, Irina?”

“I think riding on his shoulders can be used as a last resort!”

The Church-trio of Asia, Xenovia, and Irina, have begun to research about this since the Onee-sama duo always make the first move. Having both my arms taken, while doing a piggyback-ride, and carrying someone on my shoulders! There’s no way I can go to school in a state like that!

There is also some ruckus during the time of the club activity. Watching Koneko-chan who is sitting on my lap, Ravel finally took action.

“I will also sit there! It’s not fair for Koneko-san to be sitting there all the time!”

Ravel comes to me and sits on my lap! It’s a wonderful sensation of being able to feel her buttocks with my thighs, but—

“——! ......Ravel. This position only belongs to me......!”

“I-I also want to sit here. I couldn’t help myself from being jealous of Koneko-san who always sits here!”

My two juniors started fighting while sitting on my lap. And—

“I-I think I also want to sit on Ise-senpai’s lap......”

“I too want to sit.”

Even Gya-suke and Ophis who always appear in the clubroom through the magic-circle seem like they are interested in sitting on my lap!

I’m super happy with the actions of the girls who want to get along with me even more!

But it’s a bit difficult! I can’t respond to all of them since I only have one body.

When I went to Azazel-sensei and Rossweisse-san to consult with this—

From Sensei,

“Well, since they went through the incident of losing you which was devastating for them, they must be seeking you as a feedback of that experience. I’m sure it’s something which will be temporary, so just tag along with them until they settle down. You should train your manliness with this.”

And from Rossweisse-san,

“I think this is the part where Ise-kun’s capability is being tested. Rather, if you are aiming to become a Harem-King, isn’t this a good opportunity to get used to a situation where you take on many women? If you don’t have a good balance of getting along with them, then there will be girls who will go through sad experiences. –Oh, why am I answering something lewd like this seriously? Maybe it’s the influence of Ise-kun and the other girls...... What I want to say is, from a teacher’s perspective, this is something that isn’t good for education. It’s the private life of the [Oppai Dragon] that can’t be shown to the children who are your fans.”

She talked about it for a long time...... I’m feeling doubts about the raising and education of the Underworld since the name of [Oppai Dragon] is so popular......!

......But, I started to see the rough road towards becoming a Harem-king. After all, I get lost when I’m dragged into the girls competition.

When I discussed this with my friend Kiba who is dragged into the fight of the common girls,

“Get used to it......I guess. This might be an example that may not be too helpful, but you do get confused when many girls start saying “Me, me, me!” right? But I think you will come to see the way to solve it little by little when you encounter that situation many times, you know? I decided to do things which I’m capable of, but decline things I’m not capable of. That’s because that will be better for me and those girls rather than giving them unclear answers.”

He gave me advice like that! Too handsome! He even thinks like a handsome guy! A guy who has been confessed to by girls so many times and declined them politely sure does have a different opinion!

I also want to decline them but......when I see the gloomy faces of the girls of the Occult Research Club......I can’t come to decline them! I end up thinking that I have to do something!

But, after that, Kiba added this line.

“By the way, Ise-kun. How about having lunch with me......? I made some side dishes which will be good for our lunch. I really want you to eat it......”

——Damn! A guy shouldn’t decline a girl’s invitation and invite me for luuuuuunch! Don’t choose me over girls! Please stop! Lately, I’m getting scared because the number of guys around me has increased!

More than that, I will respond back to the girl on my right side that is in trouble, and I will also respond back to the girl on my left side that is also in trouble! I will do it even if my body can’t endure it! Though, I’m a useless guy who can’t solve their problems! It also happens because the girls have so much power in them!

What will I do if the balance of this state that Rossweisse-san mentioned goes down......!?

A courage where I can decline them at times! Is something like that also necessary for a Harem-King!?

I hold my head down while looking at the army of girls on my bed! There are too many obstacles ahead!

But the bed which is only filled with girls, this situation sure is a treat...... Akeno-san and Xenovia have their sleeping clothes coming off and their breasts are half exposed, and their thighs are so exposed that it’s basically telling me to stare at them!

More than that, Rias and Akeno-san are wearing see-through negligee! So their nipples can be seen! Thank you very much!

Usually, Akeno-san wears yukata during her sleep, so seeing her wear a see-through negligee sure is amazing! It suits you! Like I thought, a woman with enormous breasts wearing a negligee sure has an enormous effect!

More than that, Xenovia is wearing a t-shirt on the top and...... pants! Xenovia’s pants! Thanks for allowing me to see something good this morning.

Irina is wearing normal pyjamas. It’s the same as Asia. Like I thought, those connected with the Church normally wear pyjamas. She also looks cute in her own way.

Koneko-chan is also wearing pyjamas today! She is wearing lovely pyjamas with cat marks on it.

Lastly Ophis. She is also wearing black pyjamas, but...... I think the reason why she came here to sleep is because she is copying the other girls.

Ever since Ophis started living here, she follows behind me and everyone, and copies everything we do.

She is like a toddler with no knowledge. She must be pure after all. That’s why she was easy to deceive. I can understand why Vali tried to protect her.

She is strong, pure, and easy to deceive. If she gets deceived and used by the terrorists, it won’t be weird for the balance of the world to collapse.

That’s why I think the reason she is sleeping on my bed is because the other girls are sleeping on my bed. Well, it’s also because she is attached to me......

KNOCK KNOCK. Then someone knocks on the door.

“Good morning, Ise-sama, Rias-sama, Asia-sama. –Are all of you awake?”

This is Ravel’s voice. If I look carefully, Ravel isn’t on my bed.

“Yeah, come in.”

Ravel comes in when I answer her. She stares in wonder when she sees the situation of my bed.

“......A-Amazing things are happening. Last night, everyone didn’t show any sign of doing this...... I also wanted to join......”

It seems like she is regretting it a bit as well as being shocked. The thing is, the bed is already overloaded with people! Where am I supposed to sleep!? The floor!? Rather than feeling alive; this is a new feeling of having to watch my bed full with girls from the floor when I am the owner of this room, so I don’t know how to respond to this! The fact is, I’m actually in trouble!

“......Fuaaaaaa......”

Looks like Rias wakes up with Ravel’s entrance. She looks at me, Ravel, —and the situation of the bed.

“......It seems like amazing things are happening on the bed.”

She is making a bitter smile while looking at her servant girls sleeping on the bed. Ravel makes her way into the room, and she says it as if she has remembered something while shaking Koneko-chan who is sleeping on the bed.

“By the way Rias-sama. Didn’t you mention that it’s about time everyone makes a pact with the magicians, and that the time when the Vampires will show up?”

Yeah, that’s right. Rias did say before that, “It’s about time we discuss the pact with magicians. Also we will be getting a visit from a Vampire”. Putting the pact with magicians aside, the main concern is the visit from the Vampires! ......Is it the House of Vladi that Gasper belongs to?

While I tilt my head with doubts, Rias who is beside me says this.

“Ravel, I will leave the support of Ise in regard to the magicians to you. Manager, I will be relying on you.”

Ravel nods her head while puffing her chest forward at Rias’s words.

“Leave it to me! This Ravel Phoenix, the manager of the Sekiryuutei will definitely choose a magician who is fitting for Ise-sama!”

Oh, it sure does make me happy seeing my small built junior stepping forward and declaring that she will work hard for me! For me, who has only been a Devil for a short period, having a manager is a great help. The truth is, the support I got from Ravel when I was studying for the Middle-class promotion test was a great help.

But Ravel who is putting her chest forward, and her oppai...... They are growing very well despite her having a small build, and it is wonderful!

Rias says it while ignoring me who is fascinated with my junior’s breast.

“First, we need to wake everyone up and then have breakfast.”

Our day begins like this. –When I thought that, someone I didn’t expect shows up from behind Ravel. A black haired beauty wearing a kimono.

“Ciao? I invited myself in –nyan.”

——! It’s the Nekomata Onee-san——!

“K-Kuroka!? W-Why are you here!?”

Even Rias is shocked at the appearance of Kuroka. Ravel who was taken from behind is also shocked and says “W-When on earth!?”.

“Ah, hello. I also came as well.”

The one who appears behind Kuroka is the magician wearing a pointy hat, —Le Fay. Hey hey, the girls of the Vali-team came over to my house! T-Then are Vali and others also here......?

“Vali and others aren’t here.”

Kuroka says it as if she read my mind. Ah, so they are not here. I don’t want to see the face of my rival in the morning. After all, that guy has started to crave for me even more! Just like Kiba, just like Sairaorg-san, just like Cao Cao, and also Vali, why do I have to get popular with guys!? I don’t need guys! Just give me girls~!

“......N, Nee-sama. Why are you here?”

Koneko-chan wakes up as if she responded to Kuroka’s voice, and she then crawls out from the bed while wiping her eyes.

“Even if you ask me why, I came here because you said you wanted me to teach you “jutsu”. I wish you would be more grateful to me –nya. Ah, also the room which isn’t being used, I went ahead and took possession of it. So let’s get along~?”

Let’s get along~, my ass! She took the empty room!? W-Well, certainly we do have many empty rooms left since our house is six storeys tall! But don’t just live in the Hyoudou residence without permission!

I hold my head down. Le Fay puts her hands up timidly.

“A-Also, it seems like you are going to negotiate with the magicians, so I was wondering if I can also stay here as an adviser~. ......Am I troubling you?”

T-That certainly is helpful......

Rias says it while making a sigh.

“Trouble or not, why are you two; who are on the Hakuryuukou’s side here in our house? You do know that this place is basically your enemy’s base?”

Kuroka walks into the room and pats Rias’s head.

“Swi-chan thinks too much about complicated things –nya. That’s why the energy which is supposed to go to your brain ends up coming out from your breasts, you know?”

Kuroka says that while bouncing Rias’s breast with her hand. Rias shakes Kuroka’s hands away.

“That is none of your business...... More than that, what is it with that Swi-chan......!? ......Huh! Don’t tell me that you put the marking for the magic-circle in this house when you came here last time!?”

“Bingo? Thanks to that I was able to come here right away –nya. So it means I can use the big bath tub of this house anytime.”

So Kuroka did a thing like that when she came to my house last time. I-It’s scary since it feels like she did the same thing when they were allowed to hide in the House of Gremory...... Well, I want to believe that they won’t do the worst thing possible with it.

We are confused and Le Fay hands me a letter.

“U-Umm, this is a letter from the former Governor Azazel.”

From Sensei? I receive the letter from her, and then checked inside by cutting open the letter.

[Kuroka and Le Fay from the Vali-team will be showing up at your place sometimes, so look after them~? Well, they probably won’t do anything bad, so get along with them. From Azazel who all of you look up to.]

“Geez! He acted on his own again!!”

I can only sigh and throw the letter on the floor. Sensei is pretty kind to the Vali-team after all...... By the way, you do realise that we are rivals?

“We will only come here occasionally, so you don’t have to worry about us. Okay, Swi-chan? I will train Shirone very well?”

Kuroka who is begging while putting her hands together gives us a wink.

Rias then says it while putting her hand on her forehead.

“......Do as you please. In exchange, I will leave Koneko to you, okay? Also lend us your strength when we need it. It’s a give and take, just like how a Devil does things.”

So these two will be coming here sometimes huh......

Seems like the Hyoudou residence will get even noisier.
