04x07 - We are Preparing for the School Festival!

[bunniefuu]

[KIDS cheering, shouting]

Oh no, kids! The Grabbin'

Dragon's in a real pinch!

We have to say the magic words

to send him our strength!

All together.

[KIDS]

Yay, boobies!

[ISSEI shouts]

[ISSEI]

I refuse to fall here!

Thankfully, the audience's power

has made me even stronger!

[KIBA laughs] Give it up

already, you handsy pansy!

[ISSEI]

Low blow!

You can't defeat me, for I am

the Darkness Knight Fang!

Help. Someone save me.

Like a hero. No, better,

the Grabbin' Dragon.

[sighs]

♪

[ISSEI]

One day, not too long

before the school

festival or whatever,

everyone in the Gremory

family was asked

to put on a kid's show

for the Underworld.

Curse you, fiend!

--[both grunt]

--[KIBA laughs]

[shouts]

[ISSEI]

Huh?

Have you had enough yet?

This show's pretty good!

Yeah, and the

acting is on point!

Personally, I like the special

effects and wire work action.

And it looks like they

did a lot of research

on kids' shows in the

human world to prepare.

[KIBA]

It's over, Grabbin' Dragon!

[ISSEI] Curses! If only

the Princess were by side,

then I could power up!

[ISSEI gasps]

[DDRAIG]

Grabbin' Dragon,

now is the time for

your special move!

[ISSEI]

Of course. Let's go!

Summon, Tig Ole Bitties!

[ISSEI gasps]

It's the Princess!

Please. Forgive me.

Here we go, kids!

Say it with me!

Boop, boop, go!

[KIDS]

Boop, boop, go!

[ISSEI] It worked! Now I

have all the power I need!

That's enough of your nonsense!

[KIBA shouts]

[ISSEI]

Dragon Kick!

[shouts]

The Grabbin' Dragon

has won the battle,

and it's all thanks

to our lovely audience!

[KIDS cheering]

[BOTH chuckle]

[NARRATOR]

But wait! Who's that?

[RIAS]

Huh?

[NARRATOR] Up on that pillar!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

No, it's Little Hellcat!

Meow.

[GUYS]

Little Hellcat!

[cheering, shouting]

[yelps, grunts]

[KIBA] Man, the crowd

really loves you, Issei.

Nah, only the really

little kids cheered for me.

But all the fine ass

mamacitas in the crowd

were totally creaming their

pants when you got up on stage.

Seriously, not a dry

seat in the house.

[KIBA sighs] Well, I've got

to give it to Sir Zechs.

This whole thing has

gotten really popular.

--[knocking]

--[BOTH] Huh?

[ISSEI]

Irina. What's up?

Don't ask questions.

Just come with me!

[ISSEI grunting]

[ISSEI] Tell me again why we're

squeezing you into this dress?

The usual lady narrator person

twisted her ankle or something,

so they asked if

maybe I could fill in.

[ISSEI gasps]

Hold up, that's right.

Yeah! Show him who's boss,

Grabbin Dragon!

[ISSEI] I think you were

more excited about the show

than any of the kids.

I don't mind filling in for her,

but the costume

is a little tight.

Especially around the

chest area, you know?

[ISSEI] I gotcha.

Okay, suck everything in!

[IRINA grunts, yelps]

That hurt.

[ISSEI gasps] Hold on!

Why are you going commando?

Well, I thought the suit

would fit better without a bra.

Wait a second, random side note.

What?

We've been in this

position before.

Uh, not this exact one!

Okay, then. I get it.

Things like this always

happen with you.

It must be a sign from God!

We'll be like the

animals on the ark!

Minus the flood and

boat thing, right?

No, but there's a sizable

canoe in your pocket!

If I have the

Red Dragon Emperor's child,

it'll prove my

faithfulness to God.

I know he'll forgive me!

[ISSEI]

Holy angel tits!

--[ISSEI whimpers]

--[IRINA] Oh, God!

This is for you!

Take me, Issei!

Stop right there!

I have dibs on that DNA!

No fair, you can't

take advantage of Issei!

Especially since that's my job.

Move aside, douche-hoes,

because that man is mine.

Hey, back off! I was here first!

Ignore those milk troughs.

I'm built for speed!

Oh please. You mean

you're built like a boy.

Pick me!

Well, mine are the perfect size

for baby making.

Get out of the way!

[RIAS]

What is going on?

[ISSEI]

Uh... wrestling?

You girls have exactly five

seconds to clear this room!

[GIRLS scream]

[RIAS]

I swear.

Whew. Crazy.

I guess actors really

do get all the chicks.

[BOY] No fair! You said we

were gonna get to meet him!

I wanna see the Grabbin Dragon!

You promised!

I'm so sorry.

I'm afraid we've already

sold out of the meet-n-greet

and autograph spots

for this evening.

How unfortunate. Looks like

they're out of tickets, honey.

We'll have to try again

on another day.

No fair! But I wanna see

him today! You promised me!

[ISSEI]

What's going on?

[gasps, laughs]

[BOY]

It's the Grabbin' Dragon!

-You're so cool!

-Mr. Hyodo, I'm sorry.

--What's your name, buddy?

--[BOY] It's Lirenkus!

Ah, cool name, bro!

I'm psyched that you and your

mom came out to see me today.

[ISSEI] Listen, real men

don't throw fits, okay?

You gotta be super strong

and protect your mom.

--[LIRENKUS] 'Kay!

--[ISSEI] Here.

[laughs]

Awesome!

Thanks so much,

Mr. Grabbin' Dragon, sir!

See ya later! And thanks

again for everything!

Mr. Hyodo, please don't

do spontaneous things

like that in the future.

It's simply impossible

to accommodate

every single child who

comes through here.

And quite frankly,

it sets a bad precedent.

Uh, yeah, I guess you're right.

[RIAS]

You never cease to amaze me.

[gasps] President! Uh, how much

of that did you see?

Just enough to be impressed.

Nah. I mean it's not like

it was anything special.

[RIAS] Hm-mm. On the contrary,

I think it was special to him.

Really?

[MILLICAS]

Hi, Issei!

I saw your show!

It was super amazing!

Mother, Millicas.

How nice to see you.

We enjoyed the hero

show very much.

[ISSEI]

Wow, thanks a lot!

We never anticipated

that it would be so popular,

but thanks to its success,

we'll be able to keep funding

the Gremory family's

future endeavors.

The children of the Underworld

are smitten with it.

They simply can't get enough

of the Grabbin' Dragon.

I hope that you'll continue

the wonderful work

you're doing here,

not only for all the children

of the Underworld,

but for the rest of

the Gremory family

and our beloved

daughter as well.

[ISSEI] Oh, yes, ma'am!

I won't let you down!

Don't you worry

Miss President's Mom!

[VENERANA] Thank you, though

I'd really prefer you call me

something else besides

"Miss President's Mom".

You could always call me

"Mother-in-law"

or, better yet, just "Mother."

I dunno, sounds kinda kinky.

No, it's only kinky

if you say "Mommy."

Besides, it's embarrassing

for you to be so formal with me,

especially during public events.

And furthermore,

I'm not sure why

you've taken to calling Rias

"President" in the first place.

--[ISSEI] Huh?

--Tell me, Issei,

--Duh!

--do you love my daughter?

Of course I do!

I love her, and respect her,

and all that other stuff

dudes say to get lucky!

I would rather die than let

anything bad happen to her!

I see.

Well, that confirms

your beautiful

master-and-servant relationship.

And those feelings

are quite natural,

but what about

beyond that?

As in, what does Rias

mean to you personally,

not only as your master,

but as something more?

Yeah, good question.

Uh, I'll think on it.

Rias. It's not just Issei. You

should think about it, as well.

[RIAS]

Right.

[door clatters]

[RIAS] Well, we should

probably head home

and start prepping

for the school festival.

'Cause... there's still a lot

that needs to be sorted out.

Okay.

[STUDENT A] So, tell us

all about where you're from!

[STUDENT B] Phoenix is

such a cool last name!

It sounds like a superhero!

[STUDENT C] This class is big

on overseas transfer students,

like not that long ago we got

this total cutie named Gasper.

[STUDENT D] Ooh, maybe we could

grab some tea together sometime!

Sounds delightful.

[laughs nervously]

[RIAS] I wanted to

check in on Ravel

since she just transferred here.

Is it me or does she

seem a little nervous?

[ISSEI]

Yeah. Which is like hella weird.

I thought she'd be all like...

[laughing]

[RAVEL] Ask me your questions,

mortals, and I shall answer you!

She's so normal.

--[STUDENTS gasp]

--Uh, please excuse me.

[ISSEI grunts]

[RAVEL sighs]

Is something wrong?

Well, this is the first time

I've ever transferred schools,

and seeing as I'm a

devil and all that,

I have no idea how

I'm supposed to interact

with these overly-curious

human teenagers.

Sucks to be you right now.

I can see how that might be

a little nerve-wracking for you,

so perhaps we could

find a classmate

that you'd be

more familiar with.

Yo, what it do?

We have a favor to ask. I'm sure

you remember Ravel Phoenix.

We were hoping you

could be her friend

and explain how

things work here.

[KONEKO]

Sure, whatevs.

Besides, cats love

fried chicken.

[gasps] Did you just

call me a chicken?

Yeah. So?

[scoffs] How dare you!

I can't believe you

have the audacity

to insult a member

of the Phoenix family!

You've only been at this

school for one day

and you're already

causing a bunch

of problems for the prez and

Issei, so all things considered,

you're lucky I stopped

at "fried chicken."

Well, better a fried chicken

than a little p*ssy!

--Wish granted.

--[RAVEL growls]

[whimpers]

But she's so scary!

Come on. It's not

like she's a monster,

so you could at least

try and get along.

When did you get into

friendship mediating?

What are you talking about?

[RAVEL scofffs]

Uh, I'm just trying to be

a good example

to the younger students!

Why do you gotta bust

my chops about it?

[RAVEL and KONEKO growl]

I'm worried that our super

awesome plan wasn't so awesome.

Yes. I'm concerned, too.

[RIAS] All right then.

Everyone know what to do now?

[ALL]

Yeah!

[AKENO] We get to make

the old school building

into an occult mansion.

Talk about exciting!

[XENOVIA] There's gonna

be a haunted house,

and a fortune teller,

oh, and a maid café, too!

Should be a lot of fun, huh?

[ASIA] I'm excited too,

but I'm a little worried

about taking on

such a large project

when we don't have

that much time

to complete everything

in the first place.

It's not like we haven't pulled

off impossible feats before.

I believe in us!

[KIBA] Hey, Issei,

have you given any thought

to the Rating Game

with Sairaorg?

[ISSEI]

Yeah. I'm trying to figure out

how I can b*at that guy.

[KIBA]

The dude's tough.

Sairaorg does know

some of our basic moves,

and we know about his,

but we can surprise him

with stuff like your new skill

and Xenovia's Ex-Durandal.

The game's outcome may depend

on how we play those new assets.

[ISSEI] The combo att*ck

saps my power like a mofo,

so I gotta be sure to save

that kick-ass technique

for just the right moment.

I'll train with you,

if you want to.

I've been working

on the framework

for a brand-new att*ck.

--[ISSEI] You too, huh?

--It's a secret, though.

[AZAZEL]

Well isn't that sweet.

Looks like some

intense male bonding.

What's with the whispering?

[ISSEI]

Oh, you know, just wondering

if someone pissed

in your hair or what.

Anyway, didn't you have

a staff meeting?

Yeah, but it was boring,

so I ditched it and left

Rossweisse there to take notes.

[ISSEI]

Jerk move.

Is Ddraig available? I actually

need to speak to him

about a personal matter.

I found the name

of that counselor.

[DDRAIG]

Thanks, sorry for the trouble.

Why does he need to

talk to a counselor?

Ever since the Kyoto trip he's

had sudden bouts of depression,

so he used Fafnir's orb to

ask if I could help find him

a counselor for his issues.

Words like "fun bags"

or "jubblies" are

a trigger for him.

The poor guy just spirals

into a dark place.

[gasps]

Seriously, bro?

[DDRAIG] Yes, I can't

seem to get over it,

but don't worry about me.

Regardless of how I feel,

you should be able to

power up when needed.

Yup. It looks like boob miracles

are pretty hard on him.

I mean, not everyone

is as perverted as you are.

Ddraig is a heavenly

dragon after all.

He's supposed to be a creature

full of dignity and honor.

I mean, using pillows

to power up?

Well, it's no surprise

it makes the guy upset.

Yeah, I guess I never really

thought of it like that before.

You know, now that you've

mentioned it, Ddraig does seem

to cry anytime I use Rias' nips

to get super swole or whatever.

[DDRAIG] I'm sorry,

it seems my spirit

isn't as strong

as I thought it was.

I am ashamed!

Don't be. You shouldn't

be the one appologizing.

I'm the boob-loving

man-whore here.

It's my fault. Sorry, bro!

[AZAZEL]

Well, it was no easy feat

finding a counselor that

specialized in dragons.

I'll sh**t over

the contact info.

I'm a total failure

as a partner.

[DDRAIG]

Don't say that.

[ISSEI]

Can you forgive me?

Even though there will

constantly be hooters around me,

I'll always care about

you more, probably!

[DDRAIG]

Ah. Well, at this point

I suppose I'll take

what I can get.

Just do your best.

Okay, I'll try.

Just hang in there, good buddy!

[ISSEI sobs]

[RIAS] Sorry to interrupt

you and your hand.

[ISSEI]

Huh? President!

We need to talk about something

that's been worrying me.

I got a call from

Sairaorg's butler.

He would like to request

a personal favor

from the two of us, so...

Whoa, he has his own butler?

I've never actually been

to the Sitri domain before.

Guess it's no surprise

it's so nice.

Indeed. Besides being pretty,

it's also one of the few domains

with exceptional

medical facilities.

That's hella dope.

Anyway, the place

we're going to now

is one of the best there is.

Initially, Sairaorg's butler

contacted my mother

before he reached out to me.

Remind me, did I ever tell you

that my mother is

from the Bael family?

Maybe? No, wait, I think

you have mentioned it,

that's where the whole cousin

thing comes into play, huh?

Yes, that's correct, but what

I probably failed to tell you is

that his mother is

from the Vapula family,

AKA one of the pillars.

They carry the

symbol of the lion.

That sounds pretty bad ass,

and it's fitting, for Sairaorg.

--[heart monitor beeping]

--May I present Lady Misla Bael.

She is Lord Sairaorg's

beloved mother.

Thank you both for coming all

this way on such short notice.

Lord Sairaorg does not know

that I have asked you here,

but I beg you to hear me out.

Please, Lady Rias,

Red Dragon Emperor,

do you think you could possibly

lend us your strength

and help us to awaken

Lady Misla from her slumber?

Uh, yeah, I don't really follow.

Right, I'll try

to explain, then.

See, when Sairaorg was

born into the Bael family,

everyone was overjoyed

to hear the news

that an heir had

finally been born.

However, shortly afterwards,

his birth proved to be

a disappointment to his family.

Let me guess, it's because he

didn't have any demonic power?

Mm-hm. Not only that,

it was also very upsetting

that the new child

hadn't inherited the family's

emblematic Power of Destruction.

Sairaorg's father felt such

dishonor that he blamed

his own wife for the disgrace

of their "defective son."

After that, she had

no choice but to live

the rest of her life

in the shadows.

[ISSEI]

That blows.

My mother tried to

take the two of them in,

but Lord Bael refused her.

They are a very proud family,

and that pride made it

to where he saw them

as an embarrassment.

It's silly, really,

but he didn't want anyone

to find out about them.

[BUTLER] Lady Misla was

forced to raise Lord Sairaorg

in the outlands

of the Bael domain.

They had very little

choice in the matter.

When Lord Sairaorg was a child,

he would cry frequently,

but the lady would tell him...

Don't cry, at least you

still have a strong body.

Why don't you make

it even stronger,

so you can make up for

what you don't have?

You may not have demonic power,

but you are still

a child of Bael.

"You will definitely win as

long as you never give up hope."

Those are the words

she used to say to him.

They meant a lot to Sairaorg,

and he's always treasured them.

[BUTLER]

However, she was still concerned

for him deep in her heart.

She used to shed so many tears,

worrying over her son.

Sometimes she would sit

by his bedside and just cry.

Lady Misla's feelings must

have reached him, though,

because Lord Sairaorg grew up

to be a strong and

resilient young master.

But, just as the rays of

hope had finally deigned

to shine on Lord Sairaorg,

the poor Lady Misla unexpectedly

fell into a demonic sickness.

It's a very rare disease here

in the underworld

that only affects devils.

Once the illness takes hold,

the victim falls into

a deep, unending sleep.

Their bodies eventually

grow weak and perish.

At this moment, they're doing

all they can to keep her alive.

[ISSEI] That sucks, but why do

you think I'll be able to help?

I'm no doctor.

Well, I heard that you possess

a rather unique power,

one that enables you to

listen to the inner thoughts

of a woman's bosom?

[gasps]

Boobielingual?

Please, Red Dragon Emperor,

use your special ability to

listen to Lady Misla's voice!

Her doctor already approved

of your involvement.

I'm begging you, sir.

I don't know.

At least consider it, Issei.

Your power has been able

to do so many amazing

things in the past.

Think about this.

You might be it,

the only person who

has the ability to reach

my aunt's consciousness.

Okay, I'll try.

[grunts]

[ISSEI] I'm really sorry.

I let you down.

[RIAS]

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Sure, we weren't able

to hear her voice,

but it's not like you

didn't try your best.

[ISSEI]

Still.

You even used

your Balance Break.

You increased your power

to its absolute highest limit,

and did everything

you possibly could.

I'm sure her butler was

thankful for what you did.

[sighs]

[SAIRAORG]

Hey there.

[ISSEI]

Sairaorg!

I heard what you did.

Thank you, both.

I appreciate it.

Dude, you don't

have to thank us.

We didn't do jack, seriously.

[RIAS]

Yes, if anything,

I should probably be

apologizing to you,

especially since I told

Issei about your past...

...right before our

Rating Game, no less.

[SAIRAORG]

Forget about it.

[SAIRAORG scoffs]

It's the worst-kept secret

among high-ranking

devil families.

Unless--you're not thinking

about going easy on me

during our game out of pity

or anything, are you, Issei?

Hm?

Uh, wasn't planning on it.

[SAIRAORG]

Excellent.

In the end, my past

doesn't matter.

All I want is to have a

good ol' fashioned brawl

with the Gremory family.

This is all I've got.

For someone who has nothing,

the only path is

the one of victory.

If I lose even once, I risk

losing everything else.

The only power I can

rely on is my own body.

And that's why I'm going to come

at you with everything I have.

Yeah, the past is in the past,

and it won't keep me

from kicking yo ass!

Your soap opera childhood

isn't enough to make me let up,

got that?

Maybe it sounds crazy,

but I have a dream

about becoming a

high-ranking devil one day!

I'm gonna do whatever it takes.

But in order for that to happen,

I gotta defeat you in

the upcoming Rating Game.

It's not personal or anything,

so try to remember that when

I'm kicking your teeth in!

Yes, now that's the

kinda fiery passion

you can cook a s'more on.

It seems you've not

only gained strength,

but also confidence

since our last encounter.

[ISSEI]

Huh?

The rating game will be

an event to remember,

and I'm looking forward

to facing you both

on the b*ttlefield soon.

We're looking

forward to it, too.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[RIAS]

Issei looks so strong right now.

Maybe that's the reason I--

Yes, that's why.

[ISSEI]

Hm. Hey, are you okay?

[gasps]
