"Fuhahahaha! At last, your time has come, Breast Dragon Emperor!"
Right now, we're all gathered in Issei's home theater room, watching a tokusatsu superhero show.
Its title? "The Oppai Dragon – Oppai Dragon." …Setting aside the blatant boob-centric marketing, the show is surprisingly well-made, with impressive attention to detail.
On-screen, the actor (his face CGI-morphed to look like Issei) has just activated his Balance Breaker and is facing off against an evil villain.
"I heard it's become really popular in the Underworld since it began airing. Supposedly, its viewership rating surpassed 50%."
Koneko-chan, perched on my lap and flicking her cat ears and tail, casually commented. I've gotten used to her sitting on me like this, it was awkward at first, but I've accepted it by now.
Apparently, she prefers a strong hug around the waist when sitting like this. Kuroka, on the other hand, likes to be the one initiating hugs rather than receiving them. These nekomata sisters are just too cute sometimes.
"Over 50%? Seriously!? I mean, I'm glad it's popular, but... being called the 'Oppai Dragon' still makes me feel a little conflicted."
"Well, according to Sirzechs and Azazel-sensei, there wasn't much in the way of actual 'entertainment' in the Underworld before. Their TV content was probably limited to politics, news, and Rating Games. Given that, it's no wonder something fresh like this would take off."
Compared to something like Magical Girl Milky Spiral Seven, this show even serves as a form of current-events satire, in a way.
Still, naming the protagonist "Issei Gremory" seems like a not-so-subtle message from the Gremory family about their hopes for him, as a future husband, that is.
"This toy's really well-made. If they made a life-size version, you probably couldn't even tell it apart from the real Issei."
"Yup! It looks just like him!"
Xenovia was inspecting a Boosted Gear Scale Mail figure from multiple angles, nodding in admiration as Asia chimed in agreement.
Given the Underworld's ability to fully replicate Kuoh Academy for Rating Games, creating perfectly accurate figurines like this is probably trivial. And despite the quality, they're priced for kids.
Also, with the launch of the "Oppai Dragon" merchandise line, the infamous Pee-Chichi has finally gone on sale.
Problem is, it's exclusively produced by Issei's familiar, Ryuuko, so supply is extremely limited. Demand skyrocketed, and prices have soared, now on par with Phoenix Tears, which had also inflated in value due to recent terrorist attacks.
It's rumored the profits from this rival the Phenex clan's war-recovery fortune. While they're splitting profits with the Sitri family and the product isn't reusable like Phoenix Tears, it's already bringing in enormous revenue.
Customers can even choose their desired bust size, anywhere from D-cup to H-cup. Orders have been flooding in from noble devil housewives and even upper-tier members of other allied factions who caught wind of it.
In the future, once the initial frenzy dies down, it might be offered to regular devils as a rare prize in public quiz shows and events.
Thus, the motto "Big Boobs for the World – Boobs & Peace!!" became a reality... Though I can imagine that Stray devil shouting "Anything under E-cup is UNACCEPTABLE!!"
Anyway, the world had officially entered the era of the Oppai Revolution.
When Issei last checked on Ryuuko in the Underworld, he told me she'd been operating non-stop, absorbing breast energy with her tentacles from all kinds of sources. The dragon head part was apparently gleaming with a smug smile. Issei said he seriously considered obliterating her right then and there.
He later recalled saying, "I awaken…" without realizing it, only to have Ddraig forcibly snap him back to consciousness. That might've been a legitimate crisis for the entire Gremory territory.
"By the way, President Rias, has President Sona tried Pee-Chichi yet?"
Curious, I asked Rias, who shook her head.
"No. She said it'd be too suspicious if her bust suddenly increased during the school year. She's planning to 'debut' in college instead. She's still deciding between a D-cup to match her vibe or going bigger based on personal desire."
So… does that mean her current size is under D? Maybe I shouldn't think about this any further. If I do, I'll definitely get caught when we meet at school.
While we chatted, the show progressed. Issei, in trouble, powered up via a boob touch from Princess Switch. Rias smacked Azazel with a fan at that scene.
So it really is "Princess Switch" now, huh? Guess karma works in strange ways.
"Speaking of which, isn't that Phenex heiress visiting this Sunday, Rias?"
Wait, Ravel's coming? Why?
"Ravel's the little sister of that grilled chicken bastard, right?"
"Yes. Apparently, she wants to start experiencing various jobs now so she can contribute to the Underworld. She's starting by visiting Kuoh Town, the hub of the Three Factions' peace treaty."
"So she wants to observe the Gremory peerage's work?"
"No. She was a Phenex family noble and Riser's servant, so there's not much to learn from our usual duties."
Makes sense. As a high-class devil, Ravel likely knows everything about servant roles already.
"She'll mainly observe the support staff. While our town is managed by Gremory and Sitri families, there are many angels, fallen angels, and devils handling detailed roles. It's important for future leaders to understand the work done by those beneath them."
Oh yeah… didn't she try helping with the Oppai Dragon show once? But then Issei stripped her naked on their first meeting. No wonder she's kept her distance.
Still, if she's coming here, she must see Kuoh Town as a significant place.
"Um… President? I actually promised to go on a date with Akeno-san this Sunday. Should I cancel?"
"You remembered that promise, Issei-kun!?"
Akeno beamed radiantly at his words.
"Of course! Koneko-chan nudged me into it at the time, but I'd never break a promise to Akeno-senpai! …Though, I'm not sure I'm worthy of being your date partner…"
"Ufufu Don't worry. I want to go on a date precisely because it's with you."
"Muuuuu!!"
Watching them, both Rias and Asia adorably puffed out their cheeks.
Xenovia, meanwhile, muttered, "Yes! Momentum is everything!" …I suspect another direct assault on Issei is coming soon. Same old story.
"Sigh… I won't force you to cancel. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Ravel won't arrive until night. Just make sure you're back by sunset."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Night, huh? That fits. Devils are most active after sundown.
"Ufufu Understood, Rias."
And with that, Akeno was in a fantastic mood for the rest of the day.
