High School DxD Light Novel Volume 23 (Extended Edition)

At that time, Ddraig spoke to me […I have a bad feeling about this, partner.] His voice was rather low. What’s happened to you, partner?

—And then, there was a knock at the door. Another person stepped into the room... It was a beautiful woman with straight long blue hair! She was an incredible beauty who wore a matching navy blue skirt! It was needless to say that the person with blue hair was not a human; they were clearly someone from the occult side. Her entire body was doused with the color of deep blue, and even her irises were dark blue. I'd consider her as a onee-sama who's filled with charm!
The woman looked around the entire clubroom, and then rested her gaze on me — to be more precise, on my left arm. “Long time no see, Ddraig.”
The woman spoke towards my arm — to Ddraig in the Sacred Gear. And then, the gauntlet appeared on my left arm by itself rather naturally. The jewel glowed with light.
[—Tiamat. Ah, really…. I had a bad premonition about this, but I didn’t expect it to be you.]
—T-Tiamat!? One of the Five Great Dragon Kings!? Known as the strongest Dragon King, and the [Chaos Karma Dragon], Tiamat! I believe I did hear about Tiamat’s involvement in Beelzebub-sama’s ‘Game’….
I whispered to Ravel - (Today’s events…the candidates are Nakiri and Tiamat?)
(I was originally after Nakiri-san…but it only turned out like this because Nakiri-san said that there was someone who he wanted us to meet.)
I see, so Ravel originally sought Nakiri. And then someone acquainted with Nakiri wanted to see me. Moreover, it was Tiamat—. I never imagined that she would come to see us directly…no, she came to see Ddraig…. She was also in her human form! I remembered hearing about Tiamat a few times before, and I even saw her dragon form in a Familiar catalogue a while back! She's said to be a Maou-level dragon!
I almost shat myself due to her presence here in the club room! She's a super beauty with a cold atmosphere floating about her, and she possesses immense dragon power! Uooh, having her as a Familiar would really be something!.... However, I already have Ryuuteimaru.

The blue-haired woman....Tiamat-san.... stroked her long hair as she sighed and said “How unpleasant your words are. You obviously escaped from my hands quite a few times. After you became like this, you’ve always asked your host to run away as soon as you detect my presence.”
[…N-Ngh.]
“Unfortunately for you, you were unable to run away this time. After all, I’ve already mastered a method to suppress my presence so that you won’t notice. What a wonder it is to live for so long.”
[…S-So that’s why I failed to notice it until you came all the way in here…]
Based on Ddraig’s tone of voice, it was possible to discern that he was not very good at dealing with Tiamat-san at all. But I finally understood why Tiamat-san had come to visit — she came to see Ddraig!
“…What’s wrong, Ddraig? Did something happen between you and this beautiful woman?”
I asked my partner.
—But the one who replied was Tiamat-san. “Before being sealed, the Sekiryuutei asked to borrow some legendary items from me. He said it was to strengthen himself so that he could defeat the Hakuryuukou. After borrowing them, he started a big fight against Albion during the Great War between the Three Factions…as for what happened afterwards, I’m sure that you can also understand as the current host, right?” After Tiamat-san sat down on the sofa in the clubroom, she then said
“So, Ddraig borrowed a bunch of treasures from me and acted on his own to get defeated along with Albion, and sealed into Sacred Gears as a result. Because Ddraig was eliminated, the treasures that I loaned out were all taken by human thieves and scattered around to every corner of the world.”

…Oh, so after borrowing these legendary items, he started a fight with Albion and never returned because both of them were turned into their present forms. Looking at it like this, I feel sorry for Ddraig. However, I couldn't help but admire Tiamat-san's insane beauty! In fact, every word that came out of her mouth was shaking my manhood!

[…Uuu, I-I’m sorry.]
It seems that now, Ddraig honestly admitted to it. But in front of me, Tiamat-san sneered coldly, and then made a request. “I don’t care, just return them to me.”
[…I-I’m already in such a state, so I can’t return them even if I want to!]
Tiamat-san sighed and shrugged. “I don’t know. You were the one who went and got yourself killed in a fight. The responsibility for that is still your own.”
Ah—, so Ddraig kept running away because he couldn’t return the treasures that he borrowed, and felt that he would be chased for it. Also, it was extremely difficult for him to recover the legendary treasures that had been stolen after being sealed into a Sacred Gear. However, that was one matter, and this was another.
“…Well yeah, you should return the things that you borrowed.” I let my honest opinion slip from my mouth.

[Ah, even you too partner…!]
Surprised at my reaction, Ddraig seemed to be suffering. I mean, it isn’t right to borrow someone’s things and not return them…. It was also you who went off to pick a fight.
Seeing the interaction between me and Ddraig, Tiamat-san laughed after watching for a moment.
“Just as I said to Ddraig…ah, my proud collection now lies scattered in the treasuries of various factions…”
Tiamat-san sighed. —However, she revealed a bewitching and mischievous smile the next instant.
“So I came up with an idea. Since Ddraig is useless — then the host should take over the job. In other words, something like a loan guarantor.”
Tiamat-san directed her eyes towards me. Aside from Tiamat-san, everyone else also directed their gazes at me.
…….
………….
…I pointed at myself. Tiamat-san nodded with certainty.
“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhh!” I cried out in surprise! This isn’t natural! W-W-Why is Ddraig’s mess passed onto me!? It’s clearly something that happened a long time before I was even born!
[Partner, I’m sorry…]
W-W-W-W-W-What did you say, Ddraig-san!? What are you asking me to do!? Is it even fair that you’re free of your debt and you’re leaving it to your partner!? Nooooooo, what’s this about a loan guarantor, nooooooo!

Tiamat-san smiled. “Don’t worry, even if host-kun is a high-class Devil and a big rich man, I won’t directly deduct it from you, because that would be just too pitiful. So, there’s one condition for me to forgive Ddraig.”
Tiamat-san pointed at me with her finger and then said “In exchange for forgiving Ddraig, when you obtain victory in the tournament, you must make your wish so that the entirety of my treasure collection that has been scattered amongst the factions is returned. As I recall, according to the size of the prized wish, the number that can be granted will change, right?”
In response to Tiamat-san’s question, Ravel nodded.
“Y-Yes. If it’s a small wish, then you can have a number equal to the number of your team’s members, but if it is a demanding or large-scale wish, then you only get one.”

Indeed, the prize for the tournament — would use the mystical power of all combined factions to fulfil as many wishes as possible. Just as Ravel said, the number of permitted wishes could change as well. Because we’ve always just aimed for victory in the tournament, we never really considered our wishes, and didn’t have a particularly large goal…. I see, Tiamat-san hopes that when we obtain victory that we’ll help her retrieve those lost treasures. As for the managers, I don’t know how much they’ll be able to fulfill…but it seems as though this wish is within the realm of possibility.
Tiamat-san continued “In the meantime, I’ll do my best to help you win. If it were possible, you could also invite me into your team, but I’m also part of the Rating Game’s management. It isn’t very good if you do so, don’t you think?”

...W-Wow, what if Tiamat-san actually did join my team? T-That would be incredible!..... Unfortunately, she can't go through with it due to her commitments.

 “—So, let this kid join your team.”
Tiamat-san pointed to Nakiri as she spoke. I see, so that’s why Nakiri was here. When Ravel said that ‘There is a candidate to increase our fighting strength’, it seems she had intended for it to be Nakiri.

With a complicated expression, Nakiri said “—Anyway, that’s the situation. …I’ve also been under Tia-san’s care…so it’s difficult for me to turn down her request.”
Ooh, regardless of whether it was related to Beelzebub-sama’s previous ‘Game’, or the investigation of the Longinus, it seems as though Nakiri was taken care of by Tiamat-san and owed a debt to her. Tiamat-san said “If it’s Ryuuta, then he should be able to help you. And as the next head of the Nakiri clan, he’ll also be able to gain some valuable experience. This is a manager’s recommendation, okay?”
“Is Ryuuta a nickname of Nakiri’s?” I was concerned by this unfamiliar name and decided to ask the person himself.
“…No, [Ryuuta] was before I succeeded [Yellow Dragon]…it is my real name. Tia-san really likes that name, so that’s why she calls me by it.”
I see, so the name [Ouryuu] is the one given to the person who inherits the Sacred Beast of the clan.
“…Whether it’s Ryuuta or Kouchin, you sure have a lot of names Nakiri.”
I said. Every time I see him, it feels as though he’s gained a new name or nickname so I’m not even sure what I should call him now.
“…Well, this is the fate of a person born into an old and traditional family. You can call me whichever is easiest for you, Hyoudou-senpai.”

----------------------------------------------------------------
Amidst this scene, Tiamat-san confirmed that our conversation was over, and then stood up to walk towards the door. “Very well then, I leave Ryuuta in your hands, Ddraig. I look forward to the good news from you guys. Ddraig, if you dare to run away again this time, I’ll roast you along with your host.”
[…Kuh.]
Hey, Ddraig. The bewitching Tiamat-san just said that she’s going to roast me as well…! Just how is this going to end!?
[…I’m sorry, that’s all I can say. I was also once young…]
…Eh, so this also the fate that comes with the power of the Sekiryuutei. Oh well, I’ll just cross that bridge when we get to it.

[Uuu, partner. I’m sorry, I’m really sorry!]
It’s fine, I also gave you a lot of trouble because of [Oppai Dragon]. I’ve occasionally made you cry and relapse back into a child. Perhaps my errors are even graver than yours….

After Tiamat-san left, Ravel began to make various confirmations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night, I had a wild dream....

I was walking into a dark cave. I couldn't really see anything in my path.
All of a sudden, I hear Tiamat-san's voice. [I see you brought me back my treasure.]

I nodded in response. "Yes, Tiamat-san..... As promised by Ddraig and me, here is your treasure back." I was holding it in my hands. Indeed, it seems that in this dream of mine, my team had already won the tournament.
Tiamat-san emerged from the shadows of the cave, in her Dragon form! Upon seeing the treasure in my hands, she transformed into her human form! Uooooohh! She's so beautiful!
"Well then, host-kun, it looks like we're all even now. Ddraig can now rest, knowing that I don't need to hunt him down anymore."
Ddraig was still feeling nervous around Tiamat-san. He kept silent for now.

Tiamat-san gave me a bewitching smile, which shook my manhood. "And, I suppose you're looking for a reward for bringing my treasure back?"
I nodded while blushing. "Well....yeah, you could s-say that." However, it seemed Ddraig was upset with me about this situation.

"T-Tiamat-san.... Will you marry me? Stay with me forever? Become apart of my harem?! Maybe even join my team if you could?" I asked her with all my might and courage. I also puckered up my lips at her, waiting for a solid response from the blue haired beauty. It all seemed impossible what I was asking of her within this dream, but I couldn't help but have a huge smile inside!

She just seemed to stare at me for what seemed like a good while. Then, suddenly, she spoke after laughing. "Well well, what a number of requests from you. I wasn't expecting all of this. However..." She smiled. "I always did wonder what another dragon's essence would be like." She got closer to my face. "So..... I will accept. Everything, that is." She then united our lips together!!

I....I got a new team/peerage member?! A new future bride?! And it's Tiamat-san of all people! Uooooooooooooooooohh! I couldn't control myself! I was so happy right now!!
Wow, her lips are so soft!
As we're kissing passionately with tongues tangled, we soon begin to fall into a dark abyss! We soon will become indulged in each other, as hours passed by like seconds!
I will have lots and lots of sex with this beautiful dragon lady! Meanwhile, Ddraig was furious and also crying! I'm sorry, partner! I'm really am sorry, you know!
