“We’ll use the last resort! Call Fafnir!”
"HAH?! Y-You are going to call him!? Will that Panty-bastard be useful under this situation!?" Issei said in shock. Azazel ignored his protest and turned back to Asia.
"Let's go! We don't have much time!"
“Y-Yes! U-Understood!”
Asia agrees to it obediently and activates a magic-circle glowing in gold, the Dragon Gate.
“Respond to my voice, the Golden King. Crawl on the ground and receive my reward! Please come out! Gigantis Dragon! Fafnir-san!”
The magic-circle glows even brighter. After the light flashes, the huge Dragon with golden scales appeared.
"Opantie time?"
“No, it isn—, I-I mean it is! It is opantie time!” replied Asia. Issei become pissed and fired at Fafnir.
"Damn you! You panty-bastard!"
“What the, what happened....!?”
Vali becomes curious so he turns around.
“Don’t be concerned about it, Vali! You shouldn’t be concerned about him!” Issei uttered.
"[Albion, do not listen to him! You will die, your heart will that is!]" Ddraig warned
"[W-What do you mean, the red one? Don’t tell me its breasts!? Is it breasts!? Haahaa……I can’t breathe……]" Albion seems like he is hyperventilating
"[N-No, it’s something else which is also horrible. Fafnir is no longer the Fafnir we knew a long time ago!]"
Azazel then speaks to Fafnir.
“Fafnir! When I had a pact with you, there was an item I gave you right? There should also be a replica of the magical bullet of Tathlum among them! Bring that out! Since we have Crom Cruach here, the object which comes from the same mythology as him should work!”
"Okay. But, I, want a certain thing." replied the dragon. Azazel snapped his finger and faced Asia.
“Pants right! Alright, Asia! Give your precious pants to him! If we can borrow Tathlum with that, then it’s a cheap bargain! Fuhahha! Back at the time when I had a pact with him, I gave him tons and loads of my collection!"
“Y-Yes!”
Asia starts to look through her pochette and takes out a single pair of pants. However, as soon as Fafnir sees the pants, he makes an unpleasant face.
"No. I, am not in the mood to wear pants."
*(DING!)*
The ORC is shocked to hear Fafnir's response
"So it’s not pants? Does it depend on his mood!?" Irina questioned.
"Fuck! You low-life dragon!" Issei gritted.
“Seriously!? T-Then what on earth do you want!? Asia’s bra!?” Azazel asked Fafnir who is having the biggest shock of the day.
“Hey Azazel! Asia is not a lingerie shop you know!? Her pants and bra aren’t things we can give so easily!” Issei protested.
“He is right! What do you think a maiden’s underwear is!?”
Rias and Akeno start criticizing Azazel. The love those two have towards Asia who they adore like their little sister is very strong.
However, Xenovia came up with an idea
“No, Azazel. If my prediction is right, then it has to be a pair of pants that she just wore!"
Fafnir agreed to Xenovia's words and swung his tail happily.
"I want Asia-tan’s school swimsuit."
T-That’s what he wants huh. I sure can’t predict that. You are such a perv." Erin remarked to the Dragon.
"Seriously, you should just get destroyed, you pervert Dragon King!" Issei shouted, not minding that he is also a pervert.
Azazel shook his head and shouted back to Fafnir.
“You idiot! There’s no way we have a school swimsuit here—”
“I have it! I have brought it with me!”
Asia takes out the item. The charming point of her swimsuit is her name “Asia” that is printed on it in hiragana.
"WHAT?!"
Everyone is shocked and wondered why there is a school swimsuit popping out of nowhere.
Xenovia grabs Asia by her shoulder and ask her seriously.
“Why, Asia!? Why do you have a school swimsuit!? Were you planning to have a swim!?”
Asia answers with a sad voice.
“It’s because I was told by Sona-kaichou to take it with me before I came here."
Rias mumbles hard and looks really jealous.
“To be expected from Sona! To be able to read that far ahead.. Can I even surpass her?”
Xenovia releases a scream of admiration from beside her.
“To be expected from the student president! What calm and accurate advice!”
“I’m so going to admire Sona-kaichou~!”
Even Irina has tears flowing out from her eyes.
"What the heck. This sure is horrible! You know we are in the middle of a battle against a legendary Evil Dragon!?" thought Erin and face-palmed.
“So Fafnir wants to have a swim.”
And it seems like Crom Cruach misunderstood the scenario.
“Now, there is nothing else I can say. Simply one word, horrible.” sighed Rossweisse.
“I will give it to you!”
Asia who made her mind up hands her school swimsuit to Fafnir. The latter brings his huge face closer and starts eating the school swimsuit
"Asia-tan school swimsuit. Smooth, and fresh taste."
Vali looks at the scene with a passive expression, but it is clear that he finds the scene baffling. Albion’s voice becomes even more serious.
"[P-Pants……pants, bottom, butt! I am not a Butt Dragon!]"
"[Get a grip! Get a hold of yourself, the white one!]"
Ddraig tries to bring some sense back to Albion. Albion then says with a husky voice.
"[Listen, Ddraig. This isn’t the place to say it, but……]"
"[What is it, Albion?]"
"[You are not the only one suffering from Oppai Dragon. I am also in pain.]"
"[Uu, the white one! Y-You have come to understand me?]"
Voltaire sighed as he listened to the dragons' talk.
"{You two sure are dramatic.}"
"[Shut up Voltaire!]" Ddraig and Albion replied in unison. The latter then focused back to his talk with Ddraig.
"[Yeah, of course I understand you, Ddraig. Breasts, Topless and butts, why do we who are called the 3 Heavenly Dragons have to suffer from such things? At one point I held a grudge against you and to our hosts but I realized that they aren’t the only ones at fault here. Most likely that this era is just bad for the Heavenly Dragons.]"
"Is it me or are those two having a mutual understanding with each other..?" Issei asked and Erin just shrugged.
"[Yes, let’s have a discussion till our hearts are healed.]"
"[Yeah, that may be a good idea... I see, so I wasn’t the only one suffering.]"
"By the way, what’s up with that situation?” Vali points his finger at Fafnir who is eating the swimsuit.
“Don’t ask us. There are things even we have a hard time answering.” replied Erin.
Fafnir who has finished munching opens his mouth wide.
"Aan. The surprise and shocking item of this week, now launching."
What appears from Fafnir's mouth is a huge bazooka like cannon. Azazel takes it in his hand and places it on his shoulder.
“Fufufu, this is the replica of Tathlum. Now then, I’ll have myself shoot this to see how much it will work against Crom Cruach!”
Azazel aims at his target, and a bright shot comes out from the cannon. After it gets shot out, it moves around in a zig-zag where it eventually goes ahead flying towards Crom Cruach.
“Hou, Tathlum huh. It brings back memories. The magical bullet that will hit for certain. And it’s impossible to avoid it. Back in the past, it would have been a threatening thing for me. However, for my current self—”
Crom Cruach makes a stance with both his arms. His arms violently get bulkier and they turn into the arms of a gigantic Dragon.
He thrusts his palm forward as if he is trying to squash the replica bullet of Tathlum. However, when Crom tries to capture the bullet, it changes its course and avoids being captured by the Dragon's hands by going below him.
The bullet of Tathlum heads towards Crom's chin. A golden flash envelops the whole space and when it cleared, it showed Crom who has stopped the bullet by biting it.
Azazel sighs at this.
“So he stopped it……”
After Crom Cruach spits the bullet to the ground, he changes the form of his face and arms back to that of a human.
“It’s time.... Looks like this is it.”
He turns around and leans on the wall nearby. His motivation to fight also disappears completely.
Vali who becomes dubious asks Crom.
“Are you going to quit?”
“I was told to buy time for at least ten minutes. I sure would like to fight seriously the next time I meet you.”
After that, Crom stops talking and becomes silent. The intense battle the group had ends so abruptly as if it didn’t happen.
After the members looked at each other, they left the scene quickly. Crom doesn’t even go after them.
"That's strange.." Erin thought with furrowed brows. She glanced back at Crom and for some reason, she noticed that the Dragon was gazing at Gasper...
