"324)}Episode 12 324)}「I Came to Carry Out My Promise!" "」" "Huh?" "Why am I...?" "It appears you have awakened." "Grayfia-san!" "The fight!" "What happened to the President?" "The Game ended with Raiser-sama's victory." "So we lost..." "Everyone else has accompanied Rias-sama to the underworld." "Accompanied?" "For Raiser-sama and Rais-sama's engagement party tonight." "President..." "President!" "I couldn't become strong." "So weak... why am I so weak?" "It appears you do not understand." "Lady Rias did what was most strategic." "Her loss was something she wished for." "I really do." "I can't accept what's happening to her..." "I can't sit back while her parents force her to do something she hates!" "I don't want to see her like that!" "Not with... that asshole!" "You really are an amusing fellow. though none have shown their most vulnerable emotions as easily as you." "Sirzechs-sama also said you were amusing." "A magic circle..." "You can use it to attend tonight's engagement party." "You want me to accompany her?" "!" "beat some sense into her." "That is what Sirzechs-sama told me." "Think about whether or not you want to go through with this." "I don't need to think about it." "Issei-san." "Asia!" "What was that for?" "truly relieved!" "You were out for two days straight after treatment." "I thought you'd never open your eyes again!" "I'm sorry." "Asia." "I'm okay." "Asia." "Yes?" "I'm going to see the President." "I suppose." "No." "I'm bringing her back." "I'll come with you!" "Asia..." "No." "You need to stay here." "I won't!" "I want to fight with you!" "I know how to use magic too!" "I don't want to stay behind and be protected!" "I'll be fine." "I'll just beat up Raiser and..." "You won't be fine!" "You'll get beaten up and torn to pieces!" "Do you want to go through that again?" "I don't want to see you in that condition." "I won't die." "I promise." "I survived." "Then promise me." "Promise?" "That you'll come back with the President." "Of course I will!" "And I want your help with something." "You're the only one I can ask." "Please." "I understand." "If that's what you wish." "Thank you." "right?" "I have to talk to you." "Sacred Ddraig!" "I want to make a deal with you." "An engagement party?" "But this is a wedding dress." "Exactly." "you mustn't enter." "This area is off-limits to men." "Don't be so stiff." "I'm the star of today's show." "wait." "The star is the bride." "Pardon me." "I'm not your bride yet." "Why am I wearing this?" "It's for the best." "This way we can show the underworld what a great bond the Phenex and the Gremory clans would make." "wearing that will make you give in sooner." "Right?" "Relax." "The wedding ceremony will have a dress of incomparable quality." "A dress befitting the Phenex clan must be hotter than any other dress in hell." "the creepier he sounds." "He really does soil his family's name." "it's time." "Onii-sama won a bride in the Rating Game. but we wanted to put on a good show!" "shooting off her mouth." "She has conveniently forgotten that it was broadcasted." "President Souna?" "but the battle was unfair." "that was clear to anyone who saw it." "Thank you." "But you needn't play for our favor." "I don't think the battle is really over yet." "That's what we believe." "It isn't over yet." "Nobles assembled in the glorious underworld!" "May I please have your attention?" "I would like to make a grand announcement in the name of the Phenex clan. are to be wed." "I wanted you all to share in this historic moment with me." "Rias Gremory!" "Issei!" "President!" "Who the hell do you think you are?" "Hyoudou Issei!" "her virginity belongs to me!" "Wh" " You bastard!" "What is that man thinking?" "Stop him!" "Let us join in then." "Yes." "Roger." "leave this to us." "You're late." "Koneko-chan!" "oh my." "You're here at last." "Akeno-san!" "Issei-kun." "Okay." "What's going on?" "just what is this?" "This is something I prepared." "Who's that?" "Onii-sama?" "Which means..." "Sirzechs Lucifer-sama?" "This guy is... the Demon King?" "!" "you needn't concern yourself with" "Raiser-kun." "I watched the Rating Game out of curiosity. but whose army was less than half the size and aptitude of yours." "Were you dissatisfied with the Game?" "Not at all." "I could make the very institution of the Rating Game disappear." "But there are special circumstances this time." "I would like to make a formal interruption." "My cute little sister's engagement party..." "I hate to see it ruined by such theatrics." "boy over there." "I would like to see you use your dragon powers with my own eyes." "Grayfia told me a little about it." "I see." "In other words..." "Dragon vs phoenix." "how do you feel about this?" "O-Onii-sama?" "As expected of the Demon King." "He has such amusing ideas." "Dragon-user. {-kun is optional;" "May remove it if wished to}" "Y-Yes?" "this will only take ten seconds!" "He thinks he can end it in ten seconds against Onii-sama?" "Is he insane? so that it will never open again." "President!" "Requesting permission for promotion!" "Queen!" "Futile!" "President! and I'm not a genius magician like Akeno." "I don't have the ridiculous superhuman strength that Koneko-chan has." "Nor do I have Asia's wonderful healing powers." "But I will become the strongest Pawn!" "I would destroy even God himself!" "Shine forth!" "Over-boost!" "This is dragon power!" "Boosted Gear Scale-mail!" "Balance Breaker?" "It was once restricted." "Even now it's a foul practice..." "I want to make a deal with you." "Shut up!" "Will you or won't you?" "That's plenty." "I can kick his ass!" "10!" "Take this!" "{?" "}" "9!" "What?" "Where did this power and speed come from?" "You're supposed to be some little shit!" "you brat!" "The flame when fire and fire meet..." "The gorgeous splendors of the Phenex Clan..." "Accept them with your body and burn to ashes!" "8!" "Your pitiful flames will never burn me!" "7!" "Was that scary?" "Did I scare you?" "!" "Can you not fight without your precious Boosted Gear?" "6!" "That's all you've" "You..." "You bastard!" "What did you do?" "A cross?" "5!" "A cross?" "Our bishop used to be a nun." "I borrowed it from her." "the Sacred Gear reacts to it!" "4!" "Impossible!" "A cross is supposed to cause demons immense pain!" "if he holds it in his hand" "It can't be... you..." "You gave up your arm to the dragon to... 3!" "a Demon's weakness won't apply to me anymore!" "This arm is no longer my own arm." "So... you know..." "I can use a cross." "Are you mad?" "you'll never be able to go back." "2!" "I know that!" "He gave up his own arm for this fight..." "So I know Issei-san will not lose." "Please win and bring President back to us." "1!" "I won't stop this until my President comes back!" "Dream Drill!" "{I don't fucking know... this is just ingrid's guess..." "It's not in the fucking novel and you can't fucking hear it...}" "Count over!" "Gimme a break!" "I was almost there!" "What do I have to do this time?" "my foot?" "I'll give you anything." "You mean I'm too weak for anything else?" "Shit." "Why am I so weak when it matters the most?" "I... will never give up!" "let's put you to sleep." "You can wake up again after the ceremony." "It's not over yet." "Huh?" "right?" "Holy Water?" "Right." "Even a Demon like Raiser... if Holy Water is..." "Boosted Gear Gift!" "Transfer!" "Raiser's flames..." "The Holy Water must be temporarily suppressing his regenerative powers." "Even a phoenix cannot revive if his soul is consumed in flames." "His soul..." "His soul." "It means his heart is not immortal." "Asia told me that Demons are weak to crosses and Holy Water. the damage would be too much to recover from." "And Kiba told me... to think like your enemy when fighting!" "Transfer!" "And Akeno-san told me... that magic flows from you through your aura!" "Concentrate all your energy and just feel the magic waves!" "And Koneko-chan told me... to always aim for the center and never let your guard down!" "W-Wait!" "Do you understand what's happening?" "The magic you're trying to use is extremely powerful and destructive!" "It's not something a little brat like you should play with!" "I don't understand difficult things." "there is one thing I sort of remember from when you defeated me earlier." "The President was crying!" "That's the only reason I need to hit you!" "you..." "I..." "Onii-sama!" "come to me!" "I'll take you on anytime!" "you're so... you're so..." "That was some fight." "Koneko-chan!" "Nice work." "Issei-kun." "Well..." "We're leaving." "Huh?" "President." "Issei." "My Issei." "Wh-What?" "It's a griffin." "oh my." "why don't you take the President for a ride?" "M-Me?" "Good idea." "May I have your accompaniment?" "I-If you request it!" "We'll meet you in the club room." "That griffin..." "I had only prepared two for the worst case scenario." "there would have been hell to deal with." "My father and the Phenex clan both feel sorry for all that happened." "the union was not going to be a proper one." "Unfortunately" you say?" "You don't look upset." "The Welsh Dragon..." "I never thought the red dragon would come to our side." "perhaps it won't be long before we meet him." "President." "Do you understand?" "All that you did... all for me..." "It's my pleasure." "I mean now I get to take you home." "This time I managed to narrowly escape." "But there might be another engagement in the future." "Then I'll take my right arm that time." "And my eye the time after that." "Issei." "I'll come to rescue you." "Because I am..." "Rias Gremory's Pawn." "Wake up!" "morning start up!" "365)}That was my first kiss." "isn't it?" "but... 365)}That was your first kiss?" "!" "365)}Are you sure I deserved that?" "365)}You did plenty to deserve it." "365)}It's your reward." "it makes it all worth it!" "{*REALLY?" "haha...} 365)}And one more thing... 365)}Yes?" "365)}I've decided to live with you." "365)}Yes?" "!" "365)}I want to be closer to my slaves." "365)}Sorry." "Who are you?" "The power that flows to you now is not genuine." "That voice..." "Where have I heard it before?" "you will never become strong." "you are..." "I dreamed about you before..." "You are the one capable of controlling the dragons." "You'd better not let anyone find that out." "The white one might laugh at you." "What white one?" "He will appear before you in time." "That's right." "This is because you are destined to fight against him." "become stronger." "I will always give you more strength." "the more power I will give you." "Just show them what dragons are made of." "Dragons?" "You are- Ddraig." "Ddraig?" "original was:" "I am right beneath you.}" "I want to be with someone who will love me as Rias." "I want to keep this little dream of mine." "Aim to be the strongest Pawn." "I know you can do this." "after all." "Issei." "What is it?" "What do you need to speak to me about?" "Issei!" "Issei!" "I..." "I won't lose..." "President!" "I will win for you!" "You still don't know how to use magic properly." "I even tried to keep you out of the actual combat..." "Yet you fought with all your might for me." "Even... to these lengths." "You fool..." "No..." "I am the fool." "I almost lost you." "my very precious..." "Issei." "what are you trying to do?" "Welsh Dragon Over-Booster!" "Amusing." "brat?" "I already told you." "the more power I'll give you." "But remember this: nothing more than your face and hands." "Anything else and your body will not last." "That hit was harder than expected..." "So that was his power." "but the time is up." "This is your limit." "but those powers were only temporary." "but they will be of no match for the regenerative powers of a phoenix." "I wanted... to protect her." "Not because of a contract or anything. she needs to remain dignified despite all the turmoil." "And that is... what I long for." "She's the one." "Rias-sama resigned." "The President... resigned?" "Yes." "You're lying!" "There's no way she would just give up!" "That's not like her!" "It's because Raiser-sama was about to kill you." "I don't really remember what happened back then..." "You stood up countless times to face Raiser." "Issei..." "You did well." "That's enough." "You have served me well." "Issei." "So... that's what happened." "It's all my fault! I still collapsed right before her eyes." "what about the others?" "Asia-san alone was permitted by Rias-sama to oversee your healing." "including myself?" "Yes." "don't do it." "Raiser would like to see your final burst of flame before you fizzle out." "what would you like if you win?" "Sirzechs-sama!" "You wish to fight against a low-class Demon?" "like me." "he must accept it." "What do you wish for?" "Wealth?" "Or maybe a beauty?" "say anything." "President." "No." "I want Rias Gremory-sama..." "I want her back!" "Then let us begin."
