Time flew, and soon it was the day before the Rating Game between Rias Gremory and Riser Phenex.
Late at night, wanting to verify the "plot," Hiro went out for a stroll.
Near the artificial lake, in a gazebo, he saw the red-haired beauty in a semi-transparent negligee, gazing at the starry sky.
In the original story, she couldn't sleep from anxiety and came out to review tactics.
Now, with a powerful helper like me, what are you worried about, little girl?
Standing at the edge of the corridor, Hiro muttered inwardly.
"Worried about tomorrow's Rating Game?"
He silently walked to Rias's side, found a place to sit, and casually looked up at the stars.
"After all, it's a major event concerning my life. Even with a powerful helper like you, I can't completely let go of my worries. After all, once I fail, there's no turning back... unless..."
Defecting from the Underworld.
Rias didn't speak the last part.
If she, as a pure-blooded devil and next head of the Gremory household, betrayed the devil race like Koneko's sister, it would be a top-tier scandal.
The teams hunting her would be dozens or hundreds of times stronger than Kuroka, the Nekoshou, and might even involve the Maou personally.
Her older brother-Sirzechs Gremory-would naturally be included.
"Moreover, although Riser is arrogant, he isn't brainless. Letting a human like you, who can instantly suppress his entire peerage, join the Rating Game means he prepared thoroughly. Conservatively... multiple ultimate-class devils await you."
Rias continued to gaze at the starry sky above.
"Multiple ultimate-class devils are nothing for me to worry about."
Hiro turned to look at her worried expression.
His tone was confident, even arrogant.
"As long as there aren't multiple Maou, Phenex can't stop me from winning this Rating Game. You might not believe it, but since I was little, I haven't encountered an opponent worthy of my full effort."
"...."
Rias shifted her gaze from the stars, stunned by his confidence.
Then she chuckled.
"Pfft."
Hiro: ???
Looking at the red-haired girl beside him covering her mouth and giggling, his confident expression faltered slightly.
"Is there something funny?"
"No, nothing at all. It's not funny. I believe you have the ability."
After laughing a while, Rias brushed away imaginary tears.
Her tone lost the previous heaviness and helplessness, becoming somewhat cheerful.
I believe you, my foot! If you're so capable, why don't you wipe that smile off your face first?
Hiro internally retorted.
"Oh, right. There's one important thing I forgot to ask."
Rias's smile faded. She cleared her throat and looked at him seriously.
"Have you carefully considered the meaning behind participating in this Rating Game to help me cancel my engagement?"
"Meaning?"
Is there such a thing?
Hiro stared into Rias's crimson eyes, thought for a moment, then shook his head.
I'm not your servant. I'm helping as a friend. Am I supposed to act like Hyoudou Issei, obsessed with your oppai?
Thinking of Hyoudou Issei, Hiro also thought about the dormant Boosted Gear inside him.
He planned to talk with fallen angels in Saitama Prefecture to learn the Sacred Gear stripping technique, then have a "heart-to-heart" with Hyoudou Issei.
No one would complain about extra good things.
As for Hyoudou Issei's life... Aqua Vitae should handle it.
If not... then so be it.
"Sigh~"
Rias saw him lost in thought and sighed softly.
If it were really that simple, that would be ideal.
But the face of the pure-blooded Gremory family isn't something easily overlooked.
The next day, at ten o'clock in the evening in the human world, Rias's peerage of four, along with Asia and Hiro, arrived in the battle dimension through a teleportation circle.
"Eh? Nothing's changed?"
Asia looked around, puzzled.
Before Hiro or Rias could explain, a calm female voice echoed in everyone's minds.
"Everyone, I am Grayfia, the Gremory family's maid, appointed as referee for this match between the Gremory and Phenex families."
"The battleground was decided based on Rias-sama and Riser-sama's opinions. It is a replica of..."
After a long explanation, Grayfia announced:
"Now, the game begins."
Boom-
A bell-like sound echoed through the alternate dimension, signaling the start.
"Before we start, there's something I want to confirm."
Hiro raised his right hand, index finger pointing up, looking at Rias's curious crimson eyes.
"We're here. Grayfia can't read our thoughts, right?"
If she could, he... would have no choice but to accept his fate.
"...."
Knowing this, the four members of Rias's peerage exchanged glances, smiling subtly.
"Don't worry. Grayfia's mind-reading range is only a few meters. She can't know what we're thinking in this other dimension."
Rias, the King, gave him the reassuring explanation.
Whew~
Hiro quietly sighed in relief and glanced at the others leaning toward Rias.
He walked silently to the window of the old school building.
"Rias, don't consider me when arranging tactics. Just let me do my own thing."
Leaving this one sentence, he opened the window and lightly climbed onto the roof.
His right hand extended horizontally-
Thump!
A massive figure, several stories high, suddenly appeared beside him.
His plan was simple: before the main encounter, he would try a test shot first.
