Whoa!
So this is President Rias'...
Family home.
I'm home.
Welcome home. My Lady. Her family.
When you hear the voice in your heart
You can be reborn infinite times "NEW -> BORN"
"High School DxD BorN"
I can't hide it any longer
Salvation and ache, a mirror's PARADOX
I realized once I faced myself
The soul must be where my dream rests upon
The moment I met you and touched you, your tears spilled on my hand
Because their heat melted into my heart, our feelings could connect
"DEAR" x "DEAR" wait for me!
I make choices within this despair
Not because of blessings, but definite FEELING!
Until I reach deep into your heart
I'll call as many times as it takes, "YOUR NAME"
"Episode 2: Young Devils Gather!"
I-I'm so nervous!
I feel like we really don't belong here.
Big Sister Rias! Welcome home!
I'm home, Millicas!
You've grown so big since I last saw you.
Um, President. Who is this?
This is big brother Sir Zechs Lucifer's son.
So he is your nephew, President?
Now, say hello.
Yes.
My name is Millicas Gremory. Nice to meet you.
So cute.
Looks like he's a genuine prince.
Huh?
So who is Sir Zechs' wife?
Everyone, please enter.
Big Sister Rias has come home!
Now, now. Such poor behavior!
Such a pretty person. Is she President's big sister?
Issei.
Y-Yes!
Even if you stare passionately at my mother, nothing will happen.
Wh-What?!
It has been a long time, Lady Venerana.
I am glad you look well.
It is nice to meet all of you newcomers.
I am Rias' mother, Venerana Gremory.
President's mother? This person?
You must be Hyodo Issei.
Huh?
Why do you know who I am?
I make sure to look into my daughter's possible suitors.
I am her mother, after all.
Rias Gremory's virginity is mine!
I-I'm truly sorry for causing such trouble that time!
Don't worry yourself.
That was a good lesson for my husband.
He picked a fiancé without thinking of his daughter's feelings.
Mother!
Well, let us sit down for dinner.
Rias, show everyone the way.
Yes.
Everyone, please think of this place as your own home.
I'm really hungry,
but if I eat carelessly it'll embarrass the president.
What's wrong?
I'm so nervous eating in such a large room, I can't taste anything.
Koneko?
By the way, Hyodo Issei.
Y-Yes!
How are your parents?
Th-They are doing well, thanks to you.
They're really happy with the reconstruction of the house!
Well, I wished to prepare a larger castle, but...
C-Castle?!
Father, we cannot force our culture onto others.
At the very least, I wished to give you 50 maids...
Maids?!
If there were that many young women, it would affect Issei's daily life.
And so, I was stopped by my daughter.
As expected of President. You understand how I work.
Also, Hyodo Issei.
Y-Yes!
You may call me Father from now on.
Darling. You're too hasty.
There is an order that must be followed.
Goodness! Father! Mother!
I wonder what President's parents were trying to say.
I'm worried about Koneko, too.
Also.
This room is so large, I can't really relax.
Oh. Yes?
Hey.
Um, Issei.
What's wrong?
Why?
I can't sleep in such a big room all alone!
We lived a simple life at the Church,
so this luxury makes us uncomfortable.
Church or not, any normal person would feel uncomfortable here.
But that doesn't mean we need to sleep together!
Why not?
Three people can easily fit in a bed this large, right?
That's not what I mean!
Oh, what about Gasper?
I'm more worried about him.
Oh, he's fine.
I went to check on him earlier.
This place is the best.
W-Well, as long as Gasper is happy with that.
The real training starts tomorrow, so we should hurry to sleep.
Yes.
I bet I won't be able to sleep well like this.
P-Please! Wake up, Xenovia!
I-I can't breathe!
Who knew that even Xenovia had such bad sleeping habits?
Hey. Xenovia.
Sir Zechs is busy welcoming an important person and can't stop by.
Big Brother seems busy, as usual.
It looks like Governor-General Azazel is helping him a lot.
The Governor-General of fallen angels taking care of children--
it would have been unthinkable before.
He's just an oddity.
All right. Looks like everyone is here.
I made a training plan for 20 human world days.
We're going to train for 20 days?!
Issei, let's start with you.
The old dragon from yesterday!
He'll be your personal trainer.
This is the first time training one who wields Ddraig.
I want you to pull out Balance Breaker during your training.
Well, try your best not to die.
Everyone, there are better ways to word things!
Issei!
President.
Pull it together!
That's right.
The gentle president becomes a demon when it comes to training.
President!
You already have comprehensive strength.
On top of basic training,
you need to improve your strategy and decision making as king.
You must utilize your family to the fullest.
Why are you here?
It's been a while, Akeno.
Don't call me by name so lightly.
You should accept the blood that runs in your veins.
If you use the power of fallen angels within you,
you will wield light with your thunder to create lightning.
So this is what he meant.
It's a direct order from the Governor-General.
I never expected an order to train my own daughter.
No need to hold back!
Do you understand the meaning of these clothes?
I do not have a father.
Hone your Balance Breaker and stay in that mode as long as possible.
I will assign a teacher for your swordsmanship.
Please take care of me!
Holy Sword Durandal!
The Holy Sword Durandal is a fickle sword that chooses its wielder.
You have to use sheer will to tame it completely.
Your specs are already high.
Your greatest weakness is your own fear,
so to overcome it you need to stop being a shut-in.
Step one, go out in front of people.
That's all you need to do.
I'm already about to explode with step one!
Release the power you have sealed within yourself.
If you cannot accept yourself,
you won't be able to develop your skills as you wish.
No!
The power of Twilight Healing depends on the user's ability.
If you can release aura from your entire body,
you should even be able to heal someone from far away.
I'm working hard, too. Issei!
That was dangerous!
Looks like you were able to avoid it this time.
I've been chased around for three days already!
I won't let myself be burned to a crisp so easily!
I like your spirit.
If that's the case, I should raise the firepower a little.
Huh?
That's enough for today.
Th-Thank you very much!
I'm surprised you've lasted this long with Tannin's training.
I guess that's expected of the Red Dragon Emperor.
Who are you?
I'm just an observer.
I wanted to see how much you've improved since battling with Riser.
Huh?
Well, try your best.
But, just being tough...
...isn't enough to become first-rate.
President! It's been a long time!
I've wanted to see you so badly, President!
I thought of your warmth as I slept every night wrapped up in a leaf!
Issei.
Oh, Issei. You've gotten so strong.
It seems his endurance has increased dramatically.
But he wasn't able to pull out his Balance Breaker.
Yes. I'm sorry.
As I thought, you need some drastic catalyst for it.
Drastic catalyst?
I have returned.
How is Koneko?
She's resting now.
I heard she fainted while training.
Just what happened to Koneko?
She added a huge amount to the training menu I gave her.
She completely overworked herself.
Koneko.
Tonight, representatives of various clans will gather for a reception.
I have to head there first.
I'll have someone come for you so be prepared.
We're going to attend such an amazing event, too?
Not only us.
While Brother has us attending as guards for a VIP,
it's for deepening the relationships among the young devil leaders.
As devils under the president, we can't do anything embarrassing.
Young devils, huh?
I bet even their servants are strong...
No! I can't let myself be depressed!
I have to surpass that guy!
Isn't this Koneko's room?
Koneko?
Are you sleeping?
I shouldn't wake her.
Just a glance and I'll try again later.
Huh?
Come to think of it, I haven't told you.
President.
She is trying her best to face her own power and very existence.
Power and very existence?
A long time ago, there were two nekomata sisters.
By nekomata, are you talking about the Japanese cat spirits?
After losing their parents and home, the two were always together.
They depended on one another and lived as best they could.
One day, both cats were picked up by a devil.
Eventually, the older sister became part of that devil's family
and she was able to live a good life.
But after turning into a devil, her hidden power began to overflow.
Unable to control her power, she killed her master and disappeared.
She became a dangerous stray that decimated an entire pursuit force.
Worried that she would go berserk like her older sister,
the devils tried to dispose of the younger one.
But Brother, under the condition of watching over her, took her in.
He passed her to me, to teach her laughter and the meaning of life.
And so I gave that girl a name.
Th-Then, that little sister...
Is me.
Koneko, is it okay for you to be awake?
I'm sorry for worrying you.
Koneko is a survivor of the most powerful Nekoshou clan.
She is a descendent of top-class spirits that mastered the sage arts.
I've never seen Satan-class devils gathered in one place like this.
It's really an incredible sight.
Make sure not to offend anyone.
Especially you, Issei.
I-I know!
Akeno?
What's wrong, Issei?
Oh. No. Come to think of it, what kind of training did you do, Akeno?
Just your average training.
I see.
Someone of Akeno's level wouldn't need special training anymore.
Good evening, Rias.
Good evening, Sona. How is your training camp going?
So-so.
Hey, Hyodo. How are things going?
Okay, I guess. What about you?
Me? Actually, your teacher's been helping me.
Welcome! Sona!
S-Sister.
It has been a long time, Lady Serafall.
Oh, Rias! And it looks like the Red Dragon Emperor is doing well, too!
Y-Yes.
Michael should arrive soon.
I put Barkiel in charge of the security and according to him,
Odin should be heading this way.
Barkiel is guarding him?
Just in case.
There are many Norse gods who do not approve
of Odin's alliance with the devils.
It seems there are always people like that in every group.
The problem is that the Chaos Brigade are recruiting those people.
We are to wait in this room until the ceremony begins.
The other young devils are here, too.
I hope nothing bad happens.
Yes.
It looks like you really want to die, Zephyrdor.
You stink of virginity! What's wrong with saying the truth?
You shitty bitch!
What's going on?
A fight?
As I thought.
When young devils gather, this usually happens.
Sairaorg.
I'll say my greetings later.
Stop, you two.
Princess of the Agares family, Seigvaira.
Problem child of the Glasya-Labolas family, Zephyrdor.
Who are you calling a problem child?! If you keep talking like that, I'll--
This is sudden, but this is your last warning.
Any more and you'll have to deal with me.
You incompetent fool of the Bael family!
Are you all right?
Oh. Yes.
A-Amazing.
He is the next leader of the Bael family, Sairaorg.
He is my cousin.
--Seriously.
--I see.
That's why he knew about Riser and me.
And he is number one amongst the young devils.
It-It has been a while, Red Dragon Emperor.
You're the little sister of that fried chicken!
My name is Ravel Phoenix!
This is why I hate inferior devils.
How is your brother?
He's completely down because of you.
Well, it's his fault for getting a big head about his talents,
so I'm sure it was a good lesson for him.
You're tough on him.
Aren't you a part of his family?
After that, I was moved under Mother's family.
Since Mother doesn't enter any games, I'm a free bishop.
Free? There's such a thing?
Also.
This is a symbol of our friendship.
I can't take something like this from you.
This is normally a gift for a high-class devil, you know?
You, Red Dragon Emperor, are an inferior devil,
so you should gracefully accept it!
Can you stop calling me Red Dragon Emperor?
I have a name. Issei.
Th-Then, I'll give you the pleasure of being called Lord Issei.
Lord?
Then, Lord Issei.
Next time we meet, I will treat you to some tea.
L-Lately, I've been baking my own cakes.
W-Well, then. I have to greet the others so I will take my leave!
H-Hey!
She's more confusing than Xenovia!
Koneko?
Koneko!
She went down.
What floor?
President?!
What made you so panicked?
Koneko suddenly ran out of the room.
It was like she was chasing something.
I don't want to make a scene yet.
Let's look for Koneko together.
Good work.
My familiar has found Koneko.
I'm sure I felt it. That presence...
It's been a long time, hasn't it?
As I thought.
Hello, Shirone.
Big Sister Kuroka.
Right, pretty much everything
I think you know already
But you know the heart
Isn't all-knowing
Only the important things fail to connect
In the end, analog is the way to go
That's why right now
I want you to give it a proper shape!
Your teasing VOICE
Give me! Let me hear it
Just a little bit is fine
I don't want ambiguity, I vote no secrets!
DO YOU DO YOU KNOW?
Give me your answer
I'm not scared at all
I can't say it, but you know, right?
Please understand
TELL ME HEART
Because what changes everything
GIVE ME WORD
Is always you
"Next Episode: High School DxD BorN"
It's been a long time.
We'll never hand over Koneko!
Right, Kuroka?
Big Sister is really moved.
Please let me poke your boobs.
You're the worst.
"Episode 3: Cat and Dragon!"
I am part of Rias Gremory's family.
