"Here is some hot tea, please enjoy it."
In the room, Asia served the tea with great respect.
Asia was pure, but not foolish.
Ophis-chan must be an important figure, right? Otherwise, Akira-san wouldn't be so concerned.
So, she chose to observe quietly. Unless Akira needed her, she wouldn't speak.
After all, Akira was her benefactor who had taken her in.
After being exiled by the church and losing her status as a saint, Asia had experienced the harshness of the world during her time wandering.
So, when Akira told her, "I need you. I think you're beautiful, and your abilities are very useful. Will you become my servant?" she felt an unprecedented sense of security.
While unwarranted kindness was touching, what made Asia feel truly at ease was this clear relationship of mutual need.
...
"Thank you."
Akira took a sip of tea and calmly looked at Ophis in front of him.
Ophis's black hair cascaded down, her eyes unfocused, exuding an aura of tranquility.
Unlike the anime where she wore shorts, Ophis was dressed in a black lolita dress, barefoot on the floor.
As the Dragon God, even though she walked barefoot, her small feet remained as pristine as jade, looking quite... appetizing.
Her delicate, pale toes, like finely carved jade, occasionally curled and wiggled, as if playing some unseen melody.
Undoubtedly, this was a scene that would make certain individuals with particular tastes... excited.
Swallowing hard, Akira opened Ophis's status panel.
[Name: Ophis (♀)][Level: LV??? (Level exceeds host by 100, cannot be viewed.)][Attribute Evaluation: (Level exceeds host by 100, cannot be viewed.)][Comprehensive Evaluation: A+ Level Dragon God.][Overall Review: A chaos ouroboros born in the dimensional rift, expelled by the Red Dragon Emperor, seeking to return to her homeland. Thus, she searches for a contractor in the human world who can assist her.]
After reading Ophis's data, Akira got straight to the point.
"Ophis, since you called me Ddraig, I won't hide it anymore."
"That's right, I do possess the 'Boosted Gear.'"
Akira extended his left hand forward, and a radiant light of red and green illuminated the entire room.
[Boost!]
A crimson gauntlet adorned with exquisite green gemstones materialized.
"....."
Ophis remained silent.
Ever since Akira summoned the "Boosted Gear," she hadn't spoken a word.
A full half-minute later.
Only after thoroughly observing the gauntlet did Ophis finally speak.
"Ddraig... is dead?"
Ophis sensed the masterless dragon soul within the Sacred Gear.
Without its own consciousness, it was fair to say it was dead.
"That's right, dead. However, his death has given this Sacred Gear a higher potential."
Akira answered truthfully.
"Higher potential?"
Ophis tilted her head, intrigued.
If Ddraig could advance two more steps, he might be able to help her.
"That's right, higher potential."
"The newly born Boosted Gear has the ability to absorb other dragon souls and grow stronger."
"Absorbing dragon souls... interesting..."
Ophis didn't care whether Ddraig was truly dead.
Over the years, she had seen plenty of dragon deaths at the Heavenly Dragon level.
All she cared about was whether Ddraig's Sacred Gear could become even stronger.
.....
"New Ddraig, if you can provide proof, I will acknowledge you as my contractor and grant you the 'Snake.'"
Ophis raised her small hand slightly, exuding the demeanor of a superior bestowing a favor.
Akira smiled wryly.
"Ophis, first of all, I'm not Ddraig, nor am I some new Ddraig."
"Secondly, if I can provide proof, I don't want your 'Snake.' I just want you to promise me that when I need it, you'll help me eliminate threats to my safety and protect me."
Actually, Akira's initial plan was to have Ophis stay by his side.
But... considering that Cao Cao would go crazy if Ophis disappeared, and the Underworld would investigate him thoroughly, he abandoned that idea.
Ophis had the power to kill his enemies, but she didn't have the ability to perfectly protect others.
If it were revealed that Ophis was staying by his side, whether Ophis was in danger or not, his own danger level would increase exponentially.
Until he reached Maou level or even surpassed it, it was better to keep a low profile.
"It's easy to dodge an open attack, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow."
A single dose of "Samael's" poison could incapacitate Vali, who could use "Juggernaut Drive."
Although Akira wasn't afraid of Samael's "poison," there was no guarantee others wouldn't use other means against him.
After considering all factors, Akira gave up on the idea of having Ophis stay by his side.
Living a low-profile life, rapidly growing stronger, and summoning Ophis when he encountered unsolvable problems—that was the most secure approach.
....
"Fine."
"If you don't want the 'Snake,' then you don't want it~"
"As long as you form a contract with me and become my contractor, I will assist you when you need it." Ophis also agreed with Akira's reasoning.
After all, creating the "Snake" didn't cost her anything, but it was still rather boring.
As soon as Ophis agreed, Agumon rushed over with a container holding a Sacred Gear.
[Akira, I've brought what you asked for from the fallen angels.]
Just yesterday, Akira still had several dragon-type Sacred Gears with him.
Unfortunately, after obtaining the Boosted Gear, Akira had absorbed all the dragon-type Sacred Gears he had in one go.
So, he had to send Agumon to Mittelt to fetch one on the spot.
"Ophis, this... is the so-called proof."
Akira took out the Sacred Gear "Dragon Hand."
A crimson light illuminated the entire room.
The Sacred Gear "Dragon Hand" turned into pure energy and flowed into the "Boosted Gear."
[Taken!]
Accompanied by the Boosted Gear's notification, a warm current flowed through Akira's body.
A few seconds later.
Ophis released her small hand from the Boosted Gear.
"Good....."
"I acknowledge you as my contractor."
Although it was only a tiny bit, the Boosted Gear had indeed grown stronger.
....
"Since we've become contractors, Ophis, I'll give you a gift as well~" Akira relaxed and smiled.
"A gift for me? What is it?"
Ophis tilted her head, curious but not fully understanding.
"Agumon, did you bring what I asked for?"
[Coming, coming.]
Agumon was quite skilled at running errands.
"Eh!? What is this?"
Asia looked at what Agumon was holding, and her face instantly turned red.
"It's panties."
"Asia, you probably didn't know, but Ophis... actually doesn't wear any."
Akira revealed a truth of the DxD world.
That is—the Infinite Dragon God doesn't wear panties!
"Eh??!!"
Realizing what Akira was about to do, Asia's eyes turned into spirals.
She instinctively wanted to stop him but didn't know what to say.
After all, giving a pantyless loli a pair of panties was an act of justice.
"Ophis, lift your leg," Akira said, holding open the blue-and-white panties.
"Mmm...."
Ophis nodded slightly.
Actually, she had been pondering a question.
Yesterday, when she met Asia, Asia had tripped and fallen in front of her.
At that time, Ophis had seen the white fabric under Asia's skirt.
Something she didn't have.
So, when she learned that Akira's gift was the fabric she lacked under her skirt, Ophis was very happy.
,,,,,,
Although she was happy, Ophis couldn't express her emotions well.
In the end, she only slightly curved her lips and gently hugged Akira's head, nothing more.
Since Akira was squatting in front of her, she could easily embrace his head.
