“Erin, it’s an emergency.”
The Goddess was called by Rias, while playing a trading card game with the other club members.
“What is it?”
“I received a request from a Maou-sama personally. It's from Serafall Leviathan-sama.”
"Really?" Erin grew curious. "What does she want?"
“She’s requesting to borrow Koneko, Gasper, Xenovia, Issei, and you."
“M-Me too!? I-I don’t like to stand out!" Gasper uttered.
“But, why us?”
Xenovia pointed to herself. Koneko and Issei were also nodding their head.
“It seems like she is in need of your special powers.” replied Rias.
"Now that I think about it.. Me and Issei have a powerful dragon residing within us. Gasper carries Vampire blood. Koneko-chan is a Nekomata youkai, and Xenovia can wield a holy sword." Erin mused
Rias approached Erin and stroked her cheek.
“I want to go with you, but Akeno and I have to leave here for special business. We'll have Yuuto guard us. I have already told this to Leviathan-sama, so that won’t be a problem. Asia, you will also follow them. It will be a good experience for you.”
Asia nodded at Rias' words.
“So that’s the story. I will now leave the rest to you, since I have to escort Buchou and Akeno-san.” Kiba said to the others.
*(Munyuun)*
Erin felt a soft sensation. Akeno was holding her from behind and the girl's breasts were pressed on her back.
Akeno then said seductively, while stroking Erin's lips with her fingers:
“It saddens me that I have to be away from you, but responding to the Maou-sama is something my Erin would do.”
"Yes, of course." replied Erin with a smile.
Akeno giggled while Rias pouted at the interaction. The latter pinched Erin's cheek to grab her attention.
"Either way, make sure you and the others aren’t rude.”
“Y-Yes.." Erin nodded while having her cheek pinched. Rias released her hold and chuckled when Erin glared at her.
"We'll be going now."
"Take care."
______________________________________
Erin's group travelled via a teleporting magic circle and they arrived on the beach of an unpopulated island.
They can hear animal cries and when they looked down, the ground is shaking.
“Yoo-hoo~☆ Servants of Rias-chan~☆ It’s Levia-tan☆”
Serafall appeared and greeted the group. She was riding on top of a T-Rex and was wearing a magical girl cosplay.
“Stop~ stop~.”
Serafall treated the T-Rex like a horse and stopped right in front of the group. She jumped off the T-Rex and spun around in mid-air.
*(BAM!)*
She landed face-first on the ground. Having failed to land on her feet, Serafall's striped pants were exposed.
"Um.. Miss Serafall are you okay?" Erin asked.
The Maou got up immediately and smiled, while making a peace sign. Her face is covered in dirt but she still maintained her cheerful voice.
“Be amazed☆ Serafall Leviathan, at your service☆”
“It's been a while, Miss Serafall. So what was the reason for you to call us over?”
“I called all of you over, to help us shoot our film☆” Serafall explained while making a pose.
While the group were shocked, people carrying filming equipment came running, as if they were following the T-Rex.
"So they really are shooting a film!" Issei said in surprise.
“Serafall-sama! Scene 21, The magical girl who gets friendly with the ancient dinosaur! We got a good shot for it!”
From amongst the crew, a middle-aged man wearing a hat and sunglasses appeared, holding a megaphone.
“Director-san, these children are the ones I spoke to you about☆”
“Oh! I see, so they are the Gremory group, who achieved an outstanding result in the Rating Game!”
Serafall started explaining to the group.
“Well, the thing is, this film director-san over here thought, “This is it!”, when he saw all of your fights. That’s why he gave all of you this offer☆”
"We are currently shooting a film version, of Serafall-sama’s programme “Magical☆Levia-tan”, aimed at children. We would like all of you to appear as her enemies.”
“M-Magical……Levia-tan, you say?”
Gasper became confused after hearing the name of the show.
“It is basically like a hero programme, that is currently highly praised in the Underworld. It’s quite popular among children.” Koneko explains.
“The setting is about me, Levia-tan, who is the ally of Devils and fights against Angels, Fallen Angels, Dragons and those related to the Church☆. I will be annihilating all the enemies of Devils at once☆!” Serafall made a cute pose but Erin looked skeptical at the words.
“Angels and Fallen Angels have been the natural enemy of Devils for an eternity, but the Devil side finally managed to make peace with them. Is it really okay to have such an anti-government setting?”
The director smiled and laughed fearlessly.
“It is my motto to include an anti- government message within my work.”
“But, why us?” Xenovia asked. " If I remember correctly, Rias-san was saying something about our Special Powers. Is that the reason for this?"
The director then says, while putting his thumb up.
“After all, you are a holy sword wielder, a Vampire, legendary dragons, and a Nekomata youkai! Yes! It’s filled with the rivals of Devils! On top of that, all of you are known throughout the Underworld from the recent match! All of you are being talked about a lot! That is why I asked for all of you to act as the enemies of Levia-tan!”
“This seems interesting.” replied Xenovia who seems like she’s up for it.
“I-I’m scared…but since it’s Maou-sama’s request…….”
The timid Gasper also agreed while hiding behind Erin's back.
“Are the two of you also fine with this, Asia, Koneko-chan? Though I think
we have to do it…” Erin looked at the two for approval.
“Yes. I will do my best.”
“Yes, if they are okay with having me……”
"And you, Issei?"
Issei's ideas ran wild. He imagined the film getting popular and him receiving cheers from fan girls while being protected by guards.
"Hai! I'm very fine with it!"
______________________________________
There was a sound of metal colliding. The filming began as soon as the group agreed to appear in the movie.
They are currently inside a forest and Erissei changed into the costume given to them. The costumes were an imitation of their Balance Breaker armors.
“…..It’s…heavy.”
"Yeah. It really is a mass of metal...." Erin agreed. "Apparently, this costume is made using Devil's technology.."
“Giii Giii!”
Mysterious cries can be heard again and Erissei shared looks of surprise.
"Issei.”
Asia’s voice was heard and Erissei turned around.
“D-Do I look good in it?”
“Asia, what is that costume?” Erin asked curiously
“Yes, it's supposed to be a costume for the priestess who worships the Heavenly Dragons."
"Oh, so you're a priestess." Issei's eyes sparkled. "When an innocent priestess wears such an ominous costume, it gives me mixed feelings……. Heheh. Asia you look so good!"
Issei held a thumbs up and had a nosebleed. Asia beamed at this and smiled cheerfully.
“Apparently I am the evil holy sword wielder. Fufufu, it might be a fitting role for a former Christian like myself who became a Devil on a whim.”
Xenovia appears and she is wearing a costume that makes her look like an Amazonian. Her skin is exposed so much which increased Issei's eroge thoughts.
“And I’m a maid....”
This time, Koneko appeared while wearing a maid costume. Her cat ears and tail were also released.
She looks around while searching for Gasper.
“Where is Gya-kun?”
"……I-I’m here~.”
When they looked in the direction the voice came from, their sight stopped at a single large box. There are two holes in the box and there are red eyes shining from within.
“H…Hey, Gasper.. Don’t tell me you will be appearing in that?”
When Erin asked, they can hear a lively voice from within the box.
“Y-Yes! When they were choosing my costume, I ran inside this box and the
Director-san who saw that said that "This is new! Alright, we will position you as a Danball or Box Vampire!"
“Are you really okay with this? Your face won’t appear, you know!?" Issei asked.
Gasper answers positively in a lively voice.
"This is such an insane cast. They added a Box Vampire on top of the cast they mentioned earlier." Erin deadpanned.
The group an announcement from the staff afterwards.
“Everyone, after all of you look through the script, we will move onto filming!”
______________________________________
Scene A: “Levia-tan VS Nekomata Youkai & Box Vampire!
Serafall is flying through a forest using her Devil wings. Koneko who is acting as the enemy Nekomata-maid suddenly appears. The director wanted to have her act as she naturally would. That's why, Koneko was just behaving like her usual self without any acting at all.
“Levia-tan, I won’t let you go past here.....”
“You must be one of those who are trying to resurrect the legendary Red Dragon Emperor and Blue Dragon Empress! What are you planning to do by waking up the Dragons sleeping within this forest!?”
In contrast to Koneko's nonchalant voice, Serafall's is in high spirits.
“……..It’s none of your business. If you are planning to get in our way, we will just have to eliminate you.”
Koneko makes her stand and Serafall prepares to attack.
“Tou! Levia-beam!”
Serafall shoots out a beam from her magical stick.
"So you won’t be using CG or special effects for these parts?" asked Erin while she and the others observed the scene
“Magical Levia-tan basically doesn’t use any CG, we try to get attention by having her act using her actual demonic powers.” explained one of the staff.
"Apparently, that demonic power which is currently displayed by Leviathan-sama is only used for acting purposes. So even if you are hit, the impact isn’t that serious."
*(BOOOOOOM!)*
"A-Are you kidding me? That has an insane power! And you say that it is only for acting purposes!?" Issei gaped.
“……..You won’t be able to take me down with that.” Koneko said after she swiftly dodged the beam.
“Amazing! To be expected from a Gremory servant!” said the director who was applauding greatly.
Then one of the magical beams hits Koneko. The rest of the members were shocked but it doesn’t appear that Koneko took any critical damage. Also, her clothes weren’t blown away.
“It’s okay. Serafall-sama weakens her attack when it hits others.” The staff explains once again.
“The cat Youkai-san! Now, will you still fight me!?”
Serafall points her magical stick at Koneko, who acted by dropping her knees on the ground.
“…….S-S-Stop right there.....”
Gasper’s voice echoes and a cardboard box appears in front of the Maou. The former is extremely nervous and has difficulty saying his lines.
“I…I…..I am a Vampire! Unlike the n-n-n-n-nekomata, I…..I….I…..I……"
*(FLAP!)*
A giant black shadow comes into the filming area. It’s a huge bird monster and it came down to swoop the box.
“Gii-Gii-!”
"Ah! So that weird sound we heard, when we came to this island, belongs to that suspicious bird!" Erin uttered in realization.
The giant bird grips onto “Gasper in the box” with its claws and flew up into the sky.
"Is that bird Serafall-sama's familiar or something?" Xenovia and Asia mused as they looked up into the sky.
"That bird looks strangely familiar." Issei said with furrowed brows.
The staff and Director also started talking among themselves after seeing the giant bird.
“That bird, what is that?”
“No idea.”
*(Ding!)*
"WHAT?!" Erissei, Asia, and Xenovia shared looks of surprise. They looked back into the sky and screamed Gasper's name.
Later that day, there were told that the giant bird is a legendary creature which is called the “The magical-bird of the Heavenly sky”, Ziz. Issei also realized that the bird was present during the sports event of the 3 Great Factions, hence it looked familiar to him.
_______________________________________
Scene B: “Levia-tan VS Holy-sword Wielder & Box Vampire Ace !”
Gasper was rescued safely and he was crying inside the box. The director was deeply moved by the cardboard box Vampire, who was taken away by the giant bird. He immediately decided to use Gasper again for the next scene and also change his rank higher.
The location changed to a mysterious ruin with stone carvings. Serafall and Xenovia will have their fight there.
“Holy sword Wielder-san! Move aside from there! I can’t let you awaken the
Dragon Emperor and Empress!”
“Fufufu, like... umm- Yes! Like I will let you do that!”
"She totally sounds like she is acting.." Erin said and Issei agreed at this.
Serafall and Xenovia move quickly and they were making sparks fly using a sword and a magical staff. Serafall shoots several shots of demonic power, while Xenovia dodges or slices them with the holy sword.
The battle enters the climax and Serafall's demonic power finally blows away Xenovia’s holy sword. The holy sword which was blown away penetrates the earth.
“Ku, you are strong, Levia-tan~”
As usual, Xenovia is bad at acting. She lacks intensity but then the scene, which was added, comes in right away.
“Vampire, please save me~”
The added scene will have “Gasper in the box” come and save Xenovia who is in danger. The camera focuses on the position where Gasper is located. But then-
“Munch munch.”
There is a T-Rex which is munching and eating the box Gasper is in.
"Gasper is being eateeeen!" Asia cried out
“Gaspeeeeeeer!”
The members' scream echoes through the filming area once again.
_______________________________________
Scene C: “Final Battle of Levia-tan. Resurrected, The Legendary Dragon Emperor! Empress! & Box Vampire God!”
"Waaaah! It was stinky~! The dinosaur’s mouth was so scary when he was munching on me~!”
Gasper who was safely rescued, was crying inside the new box he was given.
The scene where the box was eaten by the dinosaur, was decided to be included in the film. They also decided to add Gasper in the last scene as well.
"I don’t get it! Is that director planning to make a film which has a box as the main character?"
"I don't know Issei... But if it was me, I wouldn’t want to watch it." Erin replied.
In the script, it now has “Box Vampire God” added to it! Do you get upgraded to God-class when you get devoured by a dinosaur!?" Issei said as they looked through their lines.
"It feels like Gasper is in a higher class than ours. He is going to become the last boss of this film. It’s going to turn into a scene where the box will be going at Levia-tan..." Erin made a funny expression. "Are they sure this film will-
“It’s going to turn into the best film there is! The part where you can’t predict how the story will end, will be the key point for its success!” The director interjected as he delivered the script to Gasper.
“Box Vampire-kun! I will send your lines to you!”
The Director writes something for “Gasper in the box”. What he wrote
was….
“Fall Angels”, “Disappear Fallen Angels” and dangerous messages which are anti-government messages.
“Why are you saying those things in a kids' film? Especially with a Vampire in a box saying that! You'll just turn many factions into our enemies!” Erin protested.
“I don’t want this to be a mere children's film. This film will change the World!”
Erin ended up arguing with the crazed director. She debated on using the Geass to force some sense into the man but she eventually dropped the subject.
"Don't worry! I promise that you won't get arrested! You'll earn lots of money from this film!" The director happily said once Erissei went to their positions.
"Well.. I guess it will be okay as long as I stand out! In the future I’m going to have lots of sex with beautiful actresses!" Issei grinned.
"You and your happy thoughts.." said Erin with a sigh.
In the location of the final battle, there are big statues of a Dragon. In front of those, there is a ritual taking place to remove the seal on the Dragons and Asia, who is acting as an evil priestess, is saying her prayer.
“Dragon Emperor-sama, Dragon Empress-sama. Please hear my evil
wishes~. Please defeat Levia-tan with all of your mighty, evil power~.”
After her prayer, Serafall appeared
“So this is the place where the Dragon Emperor and Empress is sealed! Ah! The prayers have already started! This is bad!”
Serafall then confronts Asia. She makes a stance with the magical stick.
“Stop your prayers now!”
Asia stood up while lifting her arms up high. After Asia’s next lines, the Dragon statues are going to split in half and then Erissei will show themselves.
The two teens are currently stationed behind the statue as they waited for the signal.
"Are we good to go? I want to end this and take this armor off!" Erin said as sweat started to roll down her neck.
"Right! It’s heavy, it’s hot in here and this is the worst!" agreed Issei as they watched Asia's scene.
“Aaah, Dragon Emperor-sama. Dragon Empress-sama. Now is the time for your resurrection!”
*(FLASH!)*
Light occurs and the statues split open while making a cracking sound.
"Finally! We are close to passing out due to this heavy armor!"
Erissei leaped forward and spoke in unison.
“Fuhahahahahahaha! We are the Red Dragon Emperor and Blue Dragon Empress! We received the prayers of the evil ones and we have resurrected, once again, into this world!"
"Fuhahahahahahaha! First we will destroy the Underworld, where the Devils who sealed us, are living~!”
Erissei laughs loudly and Serafall points her stick at them.
“So you have finally awoken, Dragon Emperor and Empress! I won’t let the two of you go to the Underworld! I will obliterate you right here!”
“Fuhahahahahahaha! It’s foolish for a single Devil girl to oppose the evil twin Dragons. Very well, we will make you into a bloodbath first~!”
After those lines, Serafall and Erissei started the fight.
"If I remember correctly, this armor is supposed to be equipped with a demonic power output and a flame-thrower." Erin thought as she checked her armor.
Serafall started to gather huge demonic powers to her magical stick. The wave of demonic powers is making the atmosphere shake and Erissei experience the feeling of being in huge danger.
"Huh? Is it just me or is that demonic power a bit too strong…..? It has so much demonic power that it is dangerous……"
"No matter how you look at it, it seems like it has too much attack power in it……" agreed Issei to Erin.
“Dragon Emperor! Dragon Empress! I shall defeat you!”
The next moment, the huge demonic power which was released from the magical stick explodes around Erin and Issei. They were caught in the explosion and were sent flying, into the sky.
*(KABOOGSH!)*
Erissei dropped to the ground and winced from the impact. They quickly started running to avoid the attacks of Serafall.
The two teens saw a message from the staff. It said:
"This is an important scene for the final battle, so both of you will be shooting at each other a bit seriously."
"A bit seriously, they say? The island is being grazed away every time we dodge the Maou's attacks!" Erin said in disbelief.
“Stay still! Fight me head on!”
Serafall comes after them and the earth was blown away with the shot she released.
*(KABOOOM!)*
"There isn’t any "cut" call yet! What is the meaning of this!? No matter how you look at it, this is a one-sided massacre!" Issei said in panic. When they looked in the director's direction, he just nodded his head very strongly and gave me them a thumbs up.
*(DING!)*
Erissei was so shocked, that their eyes popped out, but Serafall's attack doesn’t stop at all.
"We can't survive if we keep running around!"
Sharing a nod, Erissei turned around to face Serafall. They used the demonic-power output and flame thrower of their armor.
*(Booooooon. Pyun-Pyun)*
The flame thrower released a fire, which was like a mere burner, and it released a couple of softball-sized demonic power which ended instantly.
“Hah? This is it!? Impossible! There is no way we can win with just this!”
Erissei noticed another message from the staff
"We will alter this scene a bit with CG afterwards to make it proper."
“What do you mean by making it proper!?”
"This is over! This film is hopeless!"
“To be expected from the Dragon Emperor and Empress! Such an amazing attack! But I won’t lose!” Serafall acted as if they did an amazing attack.
“Take this!”
*(KAAABOOOOM!)*
A powerful shot rushed at Erissei and they got blown away. Because they were caught in the explosion, they were spinning around numerous times in mid air.
Erissei tried hard to stand up and run away after they fell down on the ground. Their whole body hurt and their armor also lost its shape.
"Erin.... At this rate, we will be killed…… Since there isn’t any cut call, it means that filming is still continuing….Damn it.. just how strong is a Maou's power..." Issei's voice got weaker and he passed out.
Erin was also fighting to stay awake, then she eventually heard Gasper's voice.
"S-Senpai!"
She made her battered body move and approached Gasper.
"Our wounds hurt.... ……We weren't able to defeat Leviathan-sama…….”
When Erin crawled in front of the box, she poked her shivering finger into a hole in the box. She has blood on her finger because of a minor wound.
“…….Suck my blood……. With that, you will be able to power up…..”
Erin released a shivering voice. Her consciousness is disappearing.
“S-Senpai! I…..I……!”
“Gasper…… Maybe this era is waiting for a box like yourself….. Please avenge us on behalf of the Gremory group…..”
Erin dropped flat on the ground, while having her finger inside the box
“Senpaaaaaaaai! Uwaaaaaaa!”
Gasper started to suck Erin's finger. The box was enveloped in an abnormal aura and it headed to where Serafall is
“Levia-tan! I will be your opponent!”
When Gasper said that, the box flew up very wildly. It changed its direction many times in the air.
“What movements! Is this the power of a Box Vampire God!?”
Both of them fly around in the air, and they were having a fierce battle.
The box was moving swiftly in the air, while dodging Serafall's demonic power attacks. Then the box does a body attack at Serafall, while moving rapidly.
"A-Amazing…..I never knew that a box is able to fight a Maou……"
“Film that box! You won’t be able to film a thing like this ever again! That box is amazing! It’s flying! And it’s fighting a Maou!”
The director was overjoyed as they observed the fight scenes between the two.
_______________________________________
It is time for the screening of the premium filming session. The ORC went to a huge theater to observe the film with the title: “Magical☆Levia-tan: Attack of the Box Vampire God!”
The last narration just ended along the lines of "That is how Magical☆Levia-tan defeated a powerful foe, the Box Vampire God, and brought peace to the Underworld."
“Thank you! Thank you!”
Serafall, who was up on the stage, was receiving applause and responding to the audience.
The ORC members who participated in the film were also in stage, but the box, Gasper, stood out the most.
Those related to the film industry were praising the new way of using a box and its movement. They were saying things such as, “This film is the best box-related film of the year!” and such.
Gasper has received offers from many directors already. Of course, this was for his acting as Box Vampire.
“It's quite a good film. All of you did very well. Especially Gasper, who was amazing.” spoke Rias after the members went back to their seats.
"What do you mean Buchou? This film is crazy!" Issei said as he massaged his shoulders. He and Erin still felt the after-effects of Serafall's attacks.
"I can never understand what goes through the mind of devils sometimes.." spoke Erin with a sigh. She glanced at the hyped directors who were planning to make films in various genres which feature a box. She overheard things like 'My school life with Box-senpai', 'The Magical world of Boxes', 'Who is the Box-killer?' and other crazy titles.
“U..Umm, Issei, Erin.....” Asia looked hesitant as she approached the boy.
“What’s wrong, Asia?” Rias asked
“There are girls, who became Issei and Erin's fans after watching the film. They are asking for a handshake.”
"What?!" the word echoed in varied tones. Rias and Akeno's were accusing, Erin was of mild surprise, while Issei was of excitement.
"Which girls?"
"Why are you asking about them?" Rias made a creepy smile at Erin while Akeno released a dangerous aura.
"Wah- I'm just curious!" protested Erin in defense.
"I see. Fufufu. So my charm was finally realized by the girls, through that film. This is an okay start for my career as an actor!" said Issei in a giddy tone.
"Oh come one. It's rude to keep those hopeful people waiting. It's just a handshake?!" Erin said as she was stopped by the oneesamas from standing.
"Wait here. We'll take a glimpse on those fan girls." Rias stood up and she was followed by Akeno. The two oneesamas were then guided by Asia to where the fangirls are.
When they returned, Rias and Akeno wore nonchalant faces.
"So?" Erin questioned them after they sat down.
"Well, it's good if you check them for yourselves." Rias expression' was now calm and Erin got confused at this.
"O..kay? Geez just a while ago you won't let me move." mumbled Erin.
" Issei, let's go."
"Very well. My fan girls! Now, jump into my arms!"
Erissei headed to the fangirls' location. Instead of cute girls and oppais, just like Issei imagined, what appeared in front of them was a plate armor and a musha armor."
"Eh? what are these…….?
“It seems they are armor monsters.”
Koneko explained after she caught up to them.
"Y-Yeah. What do these armor monsters want with us?" Issei asked
“These people are girls and it appears that they became fans after seeing the two of you in your armor.”
*(DING!)*
"G-G-Girls?! These are girls!? Impossible!" Issei uttered
*(Boink!)*
The armor monsters hug onto Erissei.
"Ouch ouch ouch! What's with this cold and hard feeling of metal?!" Erin yelled.
“I will never appear in a film ever again~!” screamed Issei with anime-like tears.
Their scream echoes throughout the cinema and the rest of the ORC just pretended that they heard nothing.
"Buchou, shall we help them?"
"Hmm.. Just leave them be. It seems that they are having fun getting along with their fangirls." replied Rias to Akeno.
- End of Chapter -
