How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories - Chapter 101

“Masaru, are you going to get married to Sona?” Akeno asked with a smile as she knew what was going to happen, Masaru chuckled “Yes” Ingvild nodded looking at the pile of proposals before setting them on fire, “At least we no longer have to worry about Master being asked for more proposals to marry other daughters since we are already big enough a group, otherwise our daily dating will become troublesome” Sakura giggled at Ingvild’s comment, “You like them dates?” Ingvild blushed, Everest nodded since she did like them.

“Sorry I made you girls have to handle the proposal on my behalf” Masaru gave each of them a gentle hug and kiss, they were his precious and will not discriminate their treatment as he loved them all, “Well Sona is a good choice, but we waited quite a while for Master to realize it” Stephani muttered, Masaru only scratching the back of his head before lightly smacking her bum coating his hand with feeling sensitivity magic causing Stephani to almost faint from pŀėȧsurė because she was quite similar to Akeno in this department.

“Now then, you girls asked me to kill off Diodora, but that I can’t do just yet. I need Diodora to pull out Shalba from his hiding together with his army, I do however have a plan for you girls to do in the background while I will work together with Azazel” Masaru gotten straight to the point the moment he took his seat and the girls took their seats while Shirone who usually sat on his ŀȧp was next to him instead. “The plan will involve the Rating Game after the ones right now, Rias’s next opponent is going to be Diodora, it appears the fool bribed a few old devils to have fun with his nuns after the game is over” Hearing how Diodora was using the girls as bargain chips and toys, they felt absolute disgust.

“No need to worry the nun is safe, well at least till the Rating game is over however, you girls will interfere in the Rating game knock out the nuns and drag them home. I will contact Ajuka to be there so you girls can initiate what you all planned, I will not get involved as this is your decisions so take full responsibility till the end for it but I will definitely support you all, just do what you girls feel is right okay?” Even Masaru was surprised at how the girls suddenly surrounding him showering him with kisses and hugs, although he loves it but it really was a surprise but he could feel it too. The girls were a bit angry about how women were treated and he could only sigh because this was the norm and he had limited power of these kinds of things.

Soon late afternoon arrives, Masaru and the girls were led to sit in the observation room where they will be watching over the Rating Game between Sona and Rias. Since his Rating Game with Diodora will be tomorrow he does not intend to make a move in it and allow his girls to beat him up instead, why? Because Akeno and the girls were quite angry towards Diodora and Masaru wants his pride destroyed so it was two birds with one stone. “Masaru…” Sona was happy to see Masaru came to watch her game when he entered the room that was booked for him, she naturally waited so she could see him. Akeno and the girls all left the room to leave the two of them alone for a while since Sona was still new to this situation.

Masaru took her hand and took a seat on the couch together with her, allowing her to lean on his shoulder “Are you confident?” Sona nodded, “It will be a bit difficult since that Pervert has that strange technique but at least his Balance breaker was not yet achieved” Masaru nodded, he thought for a moment, “You know, don’t you have that transformation bracelet?” Sona was surprised but then blushed, because it was a Magical Girl Transformation bracelet, “You can change the settings and have to replace your clothes with regular ones automatically, so even if he destroys it, the bracelet will replace it” Sona looked at her fiancee really wanted to kiss him but felt a bit shy, Masaru who had a bit experience could see it in her eyes what she wanted, he gently raised her chin not rushing it before kissing her softly allowing her to savour it in full.

Sona could feel herself getting lost in this pleasurable kiss making her feel safe and secure, she was not sure when but ever since she accepted her feelings she could not contain them in front of him, her only hero. She gently grips his shirt wanting to kiss some more, so Masaru gently tilts his head slowly prying open her lips before he started to seek for her tongue. Sona was surprised as she once heard about this deep kiss, but this was her first time experiencing it, soon she responded by meeting with his tongue and that wo of them twirl in a dance and by the time it was already five minutes passed they separated leaving a small trail of their shared saliva hanging like a bridge before snapping. Masaru leaned over to her ears, “Thanks for the meal” Sona blushed feeling a bit excited from the kiss, she only hugged him a bit more before the two of them split since she had a Rating Game to win since she would like to allow herself to lose in front of him.

Soon the girls all came one at a time as their discussion to enjoy the privilege of experiencing a kiss good enough to make a straight-A girl like Sona have a face like that when she left, Masaru did not decline since he gets to enjoy himself in this way and each time he kissed the girls each of them had a unique taste and feeling that he could already guess who he was kissing even if blindfolded, the feeling of their bodies, everything was memorized.

[Good Evening everyone! Welcome to the first Exhibition match between Sona Sitri and Rias Gremory! The location of the Match is set for the Shopping Mall in Kuoh Town! This time, there will be special rules. Documents on this have been sent to each group, so please check them. A few bottles of healing, Mana and Stamina restoration bottles have been provided to each team thanks to the Belial Family’s sponsorship! Furthermore, the time to strategise before the battle is thirty

The rules were set and the two parties went off to their respective bases, Masaru was looking at the peerage of Rias and from the looks of them, they appear to look quite confident but Masaru’s review over their team setup was mostly firepower like they want to finish off the opponent before they can. Naturally, if Masaru did not train Sona and her peerage from time to time in their control over their bodies and magic it would have been a difficult fight… “The only weak link of Sona right now will be her two new pawns” Masaru muttered while looking at Rias, “And they are severely restricted because damaging the building too much will cost them points”

Yui was also looking at the battlefield, “Is this why you had us train several years in controlling only?” Masaru nodded then shook his head, “In a fight the first one to deal the most fatal blow wins, but that is if the blow lands. The second decider will be the first one to run out of stamina, strong control will give you the ability to deal more damage while expending minimal energy for it. For example, Rias’s pawn is a total muscle head, he will fight like a street brawler while making excessive movements nor does he have strong control over his powers so he wastes too much energy. For people like him, there are two ways to win, deal a fatal blow or simply toy with him till he wastes all of his energy” Ichika felt a bit troubled, “His Dress break…” Masaru chuckled, “Already developed a countermeasure for you girls…” ‘No way I am allowing him to strip them for I will kill him even if he did it as a joke… I will not allow my girls to be humiliated in front of others’ he thought.

[It is now time to begin. Furthermore, the time limit for this game will be a blitz-style of three hours. Then without further ado, game start.]

Masaru watch how Rias split her teams up with her Vampire scouting ahead, it was a good strategy but she should have taken note she was up against Sona who even considers how she would think and plan even more steps as well. So it was quite fast she detected the Vampire [Rias’s Bishop retired!] Just the first retirement shook Rias’s team but because their pillar Issei was still there they did not give up as they unconsciously don’t want to give up before him.

“Barold-san do you think that was Gasper?” Hearing Issei’s question Barold nodded, this field was really unreasonable as even he was restricted in this place, the two of them head forward till he sensed two people ahead of them. “—Hyoudou! The first attack is ours!” Saji came swinging like Tarzan while holding Ruruka in his arms, Saji slammed his knee against Issei who used his gauntlet like a shield. soon the two groups began to combat against each other. “Same as you, I did some training. Although I could not train much in my fire power I could train hard in my techniques. So, when I had stuck a line in the ceiling and rose up in order to observe the store interior from above, I saw two people hiding under cover further away. Since you didn’t notice me, I used that brief chance to do a Tarzan attack.” Saji spoke while he was dodging Issei’s fist, he already attached an absorption line onto the sacred gear causing Issei to feel reluctant to use Boost, “heh, unlike you I almost got roasted by a dragon!”

“Hyoudou. I’m serious. I’m going to seriously defeat you, the Sekiryuutei” Saji could handle the attacks of Issei because he did not achieve his balance breaker yet, and the fact he was close friends to issei which was why he could talk about his feelings openly like this, Saji was serious while he was launching attacks and it was only when Issei released the source of Saji’s power was his own life force as he attached an absorbtion line into his ċhėst. “Saji… Are you crazy!?” Saji laughed while he slammed his fist into the face of Issei, “That’s right, my magic power is low and to have a stronger power this was the answer I could come up with. To convert my life-force into magic power using my sacred gear. Issei, I am risking my life for the sake of my Master’s dreams… Are you really resolved to walk ahead with your master?” Issei was shocked, his friend is actually willing to risk his life in order to win this match, but Saji was only absorbing low quantities of life force to supplement his magic power.

The fight between Saji and Issei began to turn into a brawl, these two were still inexperienced in fighting complex styles instead chose the most simple way, but some odd reason the sacred gear in Saji’s possession was giving off a strange pulse even Ddraig realized it. The fact Saji was most jealous of Issei, he was his master’s pride and he wanted to be the same but he knew his master loved someone else for a long time when Tsubaki told him. He knew he could not hate Masaru nor Kaichou because they knew each other for long but Issei who is a pawn similar to him, he felt Envy. [It seems Prison Dragon Vitra is responding to his feelings! Partner, you have to finish him off fast!] “Yes!” Issei decided to trust his gut activating his boost but Saji did not absorb his powers so the two of them became even more heated till Saji attached another line since his job was only to keep Issei at bay.

“You two—- Are only here to keep us?” Barold already guess what was going on because his body was larger than Ruruko she could dodge his strikes since he was being too overly cautious of destroying the building with his strength, Saji and Issei suddenly began to scream at each other as their battle was getting really dangerous the moment Issei muttered he touched his Master’s brėȧsts, Masaru who saw the two of them fighting over this could only sigh ‘The same…’

>/<

Yuuto and Xenovia were both rushing out from the dining floor and headed down the path that connected to the parking garage. The parking lot was quite dimly lit as the two of them continued to move further through the parking lot while looking at their surroundings as they kept moving, soon they were confronted by Sona’s Queen, Tsubaki who was currently holding onto her Naginata. “How do you do, Kiba-kun and Xenovia-san. I have been awaiting your arrival” Tsubaki spoke neutrally without any emotions, it was like she knew they would be coming here from the start.

Behind Tsubaki was Yura who was wearing special metal alloy fingerless gloves and Tomoe who held a katana within her grasp, since Sona became Masaru’s fiancee’ he made sure her peerage was provided for properly since he had the resources and technology to do so. Yuuto who saw this could only smile wryly, it was not against the rules to have your already used weapons modified or upgraded.

[Rias’s Bishop retired!]

Yuuto kept his calm, Tsubaki still taunted them but it appears they were still calm ‘I see, so Sona-sama was correct. The Pillar is Issei’ She thought, Soon Yuuto and Tsubaki crossed blades while Xenovia crossed Blades against Tomoe, but Yura was still there as well causing the entire battle in the parking lot to become chaotic. It was difficult for Yuuto and Xenovia to handle this until Xenovia accepted to sacrifice herself as she stabbed Yura within her ċhėst while Tomoe stabbed her allowing Yuuto to take the chance to take down Tomoe but Tsubaki was already gone.

>/<

[Rias’s knight Retired! Sona’s knight, Rook Retired!]

Masaru was looking at Xenovia who spoke to Kiba about something before she retired together with Tomoe, it appears Sona wanted to have Tomoe make sure Xenovia will retire to prevent them from using Durandal which was a good move for a Rating Game but… ‘She passed it on huh? What an interesting technique’ Masaru turned to look at the fight for some odd reason was turning into Issei’s favour, ‘This god is interfering quite often’

Rias notified Issei he needed to move faster and in order to give him a boost she promised him he could do what he wants with her brėȧsts which causes his power to suddenly spiked when he landed a solid strong punch into Saji’s gut but suddenly Sona contacted Ruruka and Saji to retreat as it was time to move onto phase two of her plans, the two of them nodded at each other before using a few light globes Saji extended his lines to causing them to explode before they disappeared. Everyone was gathering towards the centre of the Mall where Sona had her two bishops holding up a barrier, but no one was questioning why the floor was wet as they could hear taps running so they for some reason ignored it

Kiba, however, went over to investigate this and closed the taps and returned to his master’s side. When Rias and her peerage all gathered they saw Sona was standing quite composed behind the barrier. “Ara? It appears you all have me surrounded?” Rias smiled “Give it up Sona, we have you surrounded” Sona smiled without saying a thing but the next thing Rias and them heard was Issei suddenly collapsing on the ground feeling quite dizzy, “It’s about time it worked” Sona spoke feeling proud of Saji who succeeded in his task, “Sona what have you done!?” Rias turned but since they did not have Gasper who could scout they did not realize the pincer attack when Saji reappeared behind Issei slamming his head into the ground, with the bloodloss along with the heavy attack Issei want instantly knocked out.

[Rias’s Pawn – Retired!]

[Sona’s Pawn – Retired]

Barold immediately took down Saji but it was already too late, Rias who watched the one she loved to get taken down so swiftly felt she could tear the people up for laying their hands on what was hers but she kept her anger under control, she glared at Sona “What have you done to him!? That attack should not have taken him out!” Sona looked at Momo behind her that was holding a plastic bag containing blood, “We had Saji connect the blood vessel of Issei on that bag over there, that was the idea Saji came up with to win against the Sekiryuutei and he succeeded. With bloodloss and a decent fatal attack Saji managed to display to the people he could defeat your sekiryuutei”

Rias hopelessly smiled before they started to cast of magic attacks against one another, the next one to go out was Asia when Sona used the water on the floor to create a water pillar to knock her out. Sona remembered her talk with Masaru when she told him about “Reverse” but he immediately rebuked her about that power as it was unstable and dangerous so he forced her to come up with a different plan as he did not want her to get hurt. ‘Thanks to him I actually remodelled my plans far more efficiently’

[Rias’s Bishop Retired].

“Let’s go” Masaru stood up, things were quite different from how he imagined it, but it appears Sona really went above his expectations so he could not help but smile feeling proud of her, “Master are we not going to watch further?” Masaru shook his head at Ingvild’s question, “There is no need, the fact someone took down the Sekiryuutei in quite the grand way, not to mention how Rias was playing in Sona’s palm… Even if she were to lose, Sona proved more than enough things for those devils”

Masaru entered the room alone where Sirzech and the rest of the others were, Azazel was looking at Masaru with a bit of reluctance before he asked: “You trained Sona’s team?” Masaru nodded, “Although everything was done and planned by Sona, I only provided the equipment to make it a reality” Masaru took out a ball-tossing it over to Azazel, when Azazel poured in energy the score came out [10/10: Are you a damn cheater or Veteran?], reading this he began laughing, “Is this what you used?” Masaru nodded, “I gave her the advice to focus a bit more on control while increasing their strength, because if attacks can’t hit their useless”

“That boy is really amazing” Odin spoke, Sirzech was certain he was referring to Saji. If Issei could have unlocked his Balance Breaker ahead of time things would have been different but alas, it was the reality of this life. “I look forward to your match boy, let me see what the abilities of my BodyGuard is” hearing Odin’s words Masaru smirked, “I am certain you will not be disappointed, Odin” Masaru waved, “Since it will be my turn tomorrow I will prepare for it” and left the room.

“This ball is amusing” Azazel began opening it up inspecting this toy, he was quite fascinated at the idea of using toys to train people as it reminds him of his gender-bender gun. ‘Rias tasted a real loss this time for the same reason she won… With this, she will grow even more and Sona will have more confidence in her peerage’s abilities’ Sirzech thought.
