You made it here.
I didn't think we'd be meeting this way,
Naruse Mio, daughter of Wilbert.
And you're Jin Toujou's son, then?
Yeah.
Hmm?
Oh?
It looks as though I've arrived with unexpectedly good timing.
"Between Entwining Plots and Desires"
Lord Belphegor, why?
Do you smell that?
My, my. Disciplining women right is such hard work.
But with the late Sir Zolgia's passing,
it's my duty as the inheritor of his playground.
I am positive an elite member of the council such as I
shall live up to your expectations, Your Majesty.
Give me your best efforts.
As Your Majesty commands.
It's just as Dad said.
The current demon lord and the council aren't getting along well.
Go easy on us the day after tomorrow.
Don't worry. It looks safe.
That's surprising.
I expected some sort of trap or something.
They're saying they don't need any tricks to beat us.
That's how confident they are about this tournament.
In order to match up with Leohart,
you'll need to release one of those limiters—
two if possible—or you'll be in trouble.
Basara...
What's the matter, Mio-sama?
No, it's nothing.
Now, now, there's no time to lose!
I know you're nervous about the battle before us.
But that's all the more reason we should do what we can now!
Maria.
Basara...
Let's start.
Me, too. I want to grow stronger.
Please order them, Basara-san!
Make everyone submit even more!
All right.
Everyone, please strip.
No, strip for me.
Yes.
Basara...
Basara's looking at us.
I-It's so embarrassing.
I'm... not...
Let's go, everyone.
Umm, excuse me.
There are a few things I'd like to request.
"Give me your best efforts," the greenhorn prattles.
He doesn't even know what fortune is.
A tournament, huh?
Should be good entertainment.
She's done already?
Bring the next.
As you wish.
Wilbert's child, huh...
I wonder how she tastes...
Give it to me.
Yes, Mio-sama.
Now, Mio-sama, give Basara-san some, too.
Zest-san.
Yes...
Wh-What?
Why?
I'm feeling kind of strange.
It's a jelly slime.
It's a strong aphrodisiac that Maria brought for us.
No...
That's...
N-No...
Lick my underarms, too.
I can't hold back anymore, Basara-san.
Me, neither. Give me more.
Onii-chan!
Everyone, here I go.
Now all the actors are here.
Onii-chan...
Onii...
Basara...
Hey!
This one's a shoo-in!
What are you plotting?
Asking to meet me alone all of a sudden.
Huh, Basacchi?
Sorry.
Bring me another round of booze!
You said it.
Shut up! That comes after you pay the tab, you dumbass!
Two enemies having a secret meeting right before their tournament makes for a good scandal.
Did you hear? Gald-sama was defeated.
You think we're looking at another one soon? A big war.
So, what do you want to talk about?
If you're trying to rig the match, the price comes high,
Damn straight!
but out of consideration for classmate, I'll make do with your head.
You're serious, huh?
I'm always serious.
Takigawa, I'd like to ask a favor from you.
"A favor"?
I want you to acquire some perfume.
P-Perfume?
Truth is...
I'm not going to sit and let this stand!
I'm ready to kill people anytime!
Yeah! It gets my blood roiling!
Mio!
Huh?
Everyone...
No way...
Basara...?
No...
No!
Basara...
Here's what you ordered.
Thanks, please come again.
Now...
What are you planning, Basacchi?
Basara.
Mio.
Were you contacting Jin-san?
Yeah, something like that.
Now, let's hurry and get some sleep.
Tomorrow's the tournament.
Mio?
Don't act recklessly on your own.
Mio.
Mio,
no matter what happens,
believe in me.
Onii-chan...
You can still make me submit further.
My breasts grew this big because of you, Onii-chan.
H-Hey...
You know...
I've always thought...
about how glad I am I met you.
What are you saying all of a sudden?
Well...
Message Received from Takigawa
Your Majesty!
Long live Leohart-sama!
It's like some spectacle.
Gather spectators so Your Majesty can demonstrate your victory to the people...
Sounds like a good excuse for the council.
Damn fossils.
I see. So you're their representative, huh?
Let me just tell you this.
In this battle, I won't be fighting as the former Demon Lord's daughter.
I'll be fighting as person—as Naruse Mio.
Do as you please. The result won't change either way.
Now, it's what you've all waited for!
The sparks of battle are about to start flying!
Victory is simple—
render your opponent unable to fight, or kill them!
The pathetic losers will get axed on the spot!
And furthermore! The glorious winner will obtain...
The late Wilbert's daughter! This woman, Naruse Mio!
Eh?! I never heard about this!
Your Majesty...
It's Belphegor?
Yes. Sir Madonis wishes to speak with you.
It's me.
Lord Belphegor is still nowhere to be found.
It's possible he might be indulging in the pleasure quarters.
I see.
Also, one of their members...
Basara-san...
Do you think the council sprung something?
Who knows?
But this is part of war, too.
Now, are you ready?!
The stage is set!
Let's use this tournament to make a bloodbath
of those those fools who would oppose Our Majesty Leohart!
First Stage!
Luka vs. Naruse Mio!
You're my opponent?
Yes, but it won't be me you'll be fighting.
A heroic spirit?
The first up to fight is Leohart's favorite little hero, Luka!
The ancient heroic spirit he wields will bring
bright red flowers of blood into bloom!
Please don't think poorly of me.
I can't afford to lose when I'm fighting
in Gald-san's stead!
First match! Luka versus Naruse Mio! Go! Fight!
Go! Heroic Spirit!
Huh?!
What's with that?!
It has regenerative abilities, as well?
There are more surprises to come!
Mio-sama!
Go!
Crush her!
Kill her!
There's something I have to do for this battle.
But...
I promise I'll return.
Believe in me.
Basara promised to return.
So I know he'll come back.
So I have to...
Now! This is the end!
Mio-sama!
Wha?!
I'll kill you a hundred times!
No way...
The heroic spirit along with its self-recovery function...
Whew.
W-Winner of the first match is...
Naruse Mio!
H-How incredible.
That girl is strong!
You did it, Mio-sama!
I wouldn't be able to face him if I didn't.
Huh?
Not if I lost before Basara returned.
Mio-sama, I'll be going.
That was impressive of Mio-sama.
Now, let's get ourselves ready for the second match!
Do your best, Maria.
With these folks getting cocky after their first victory,
it's time to teach them the harsh reality!
I won't either.
Look at Maria showing off her composure!
She's started taking her time stretching!
Her opponent and our hero is taking the stage!
So you're my opponent?
Looks that way.
Second Stage!
Lars versus Maria!
Why...
Why is Lars...
