True High School DxD

Volume 3 Chapter 5

New Life

After the show event in Kyoto ended on a peaceful note, the second year school trip also ended without any more trouble and we returned home. A few days later — We were discussing what happened in Kyoto with everyone in the living room.

"Ara, it's a lovely one, isn't it?"

Rias was smiling and looking at the scenery on the photos of Koneko-chan and the others on the school trip. This was a photo of the second years posing in front of the Temple of the Golden Pavilion. Everyone seemed happy.

"The event was also perfect."

Ravel showed a photo of the show event that took place in Urakyoto. It showed us doing a pose on the stage, excited audience and big fireworks going on. It is a good picture. — And then, a beautiful woman sitting next to me, Yasaka-san, said.

"The show event was a great success. Unofficially, you could say that it's almost decided about wanting to conduct another show."

That's what Yasaka-san told us. Since that incident, she started visiting from time to time through the magic teleportation circle! When there's free time at work, she said. Thanks to the fervent look she sent me, I just kept getting excited, but on the other hand, the looks I got from the girls hurt... However, whether there would be another event in Urakyoto would depend on the schedule. Unexpectedly, I might end up visiting Kyoto regularly. By the way, the goods from Cao Cao, who was the bodyguard during the event, arrived. Looking at it, it was Grass Dango, Shibamata's specialty (currently one of the Hero Faction's bases of activity was near the Shibamata Taishakuten temple in Tokyo). There was a memo along. It said, 'I was in your care in Urakyoto. Thanks.'

...Was it about when he apologized to Yasaka-san? Damn, he's quite an honest guy. Although there was this report on Kyoto, the topic was changed to Ryuuteimaru — AxA.

"By the way, Ise. How is Ryuuteimaru?" asked Xenovia.

"Oh, I can't put him outside with this size, so I decided to leave him in a private space."

I answered like that. Irina tilted her head in a puzzlement.

"Even if that was okay, the risk seems scary. After all, it has power on such a scale."

"About that... Honestly, how should I put it, it's not that much."

I said so. There was no backlash. Ravel said,

"According to research by the Grigori and Ajuka Beelzebub-sama, the energy — aura consumption is extremely intense, so the operating time is short and Ryuuteimaru cannot move even after a few days. This can be counted as a kind of a risk."

"Well, after using it, I also became absurdly tired."

I followed after Ravel. Even after several days, the feeling of tiredness still remained.

"...And that's all? After using something of that level?"

Xenovia responded with 'It's unexpected'. That's because when I acquired Dragon Deification, there were circumstances in which my body couldn't take it and it had to be made into the [Pseudo] form. Yes, there was still plenty of room to strengthen the Dragon Deification form. Someday, I'd have to move from the [Pseudo] onto the True Dragon Deification. Kiba said,

"In that case, we can say it's the same phenomenon as when you became [True Queen], right?"

Ravel answered.

"However, we were also given a caution; do not use it seriously. No, it may be more accurate to say that it is a warning."

"What do you mean, do not use it seriously?"
