High School DxD: Fox of Ill Omen

Issei

After reading the script and having some food, we were ready to start filming.

The first scene was titled [Levia-tan versus Nekomata maid and box vampire!].

It would be a fight scene between Koneko-chan and Serafall-sama, and then a scene with Gasper and Serafall-sama.

Each of us had fight scenes besides Asia.

And honestly that made me relieved.

Asia was too gentle and pretty uncoordinated, so an intense fight scene might be a lot for her.

We gathered to watch the first scene as Koneko-chan got into position.

The script called out that Levia-tan would fly through the forest containing evil beasts before encountering Koneko-chan, the Nekomata maid.

I still didn’t get why her character was a maid, but she looked extremely cute in her costume, so I wasn’t going to complain.

The cat ears and maid outfit were an excellent combo.

As Levia-fan flew down and landed in the forest, Koneko-chan stepped out from behind a tree.

“….Levia-tan, I can’t allow you to advance any further.”

Koneko-chan spoke in her usual stoic tone as the director had told her to behave how she normally would. 

She had asked him to tell her more about her character, and she seemed annoyed by how little he had to tell her besides that she was a Youkai maid.

“You must be one of those who are trying to resurrect the legendary Red Dragon Emperor! “ Levia-tan shouted energetically while pointing at Koneko-chan. “What are your plans? What do you want to accomplish by waking the sealed Dragon sleeping within this forest!?”

“….Our plans are none of your concern. But if you plan to try and interfere, then you will have to be eliminated.”

Koneko-chan took a fighting stance after delivering her lines. 

“Take this! Levia-beam!” Serafall-sama shouted as she fired a beam of demonic energy from her wand.

I turned to one of the film crew members.

“Leviathan-sama will actually be attacking in our fights? Is that safe?”

The crew member nodded.

“Magical☆Levia-tan basically doesn’t use any CGI, so we have Levithan-sama use her demonic power instead. But don’t worry, she knows how to hold back so you’ll all be perfectly safe.” 

“That still sounds dangerous,” Asia muttered as she watched Koneko-chan with concern.

“Well if the crew said it was fine, then I didn’t think we would need to worry,” I said, to console Asia. 

There was a loud explosion moments after I stopped talking.

The beam that Leviathan-sama had fired hit some of the freaks and blew them away in a large explosion.

That didn’t seem like holding back!

The power behind that attack was no joke.

Even if she held back, Serafall-sama was still a Maou.

Asia covered her mouth as she met out a small gasp and Yuki-san leaned forward slightly, like she was going to try and intervene.

Then Koneko-chan burst through the smoke at the edge of the explosion.

She must have dodged the attack, as she looked completely unscathed.

“…That’s not enough to take me down. You’ll have to try harder, Levia-tan.”

The director looked ecstatic at her performance so far.

He began to applaud for Koneko-chan.

“I knew I was right to request the Gremory peerage! This looks great!” He shouted.

Koenko-chan was doing well, but was it really alright for us to have to deal with those kinds of attacks?

I’m wearing armor, but it makes me slow and a bigger target. 

It looks like I’ll be struggling when we get to my scene.

But I won’t back down.

I’ll make my film debut and become a star of the Underworld.

Then I’ll be popular with plenty of girls.

It’s a foolproof plan.

As I was thinking of future oppai, Koneko-chan was continuing to fight Levia-tan.

But then, as she drew closer, one of the beams that Levia-tan fired hit Koneko-chan.

The beam struck her chest and sent her tumbling across the ground.

“It’s alright everyone. Serafall-sama weakens her attacks if she knows she’ll hit someone." The nearby crew member repeated.

I saw that everyone else was also watching Koneko-chan with worry, just like I was. 

Koneko-chan continued to act as she struggled to push herself up on one knee.

“Ugh… I-I’m not defeated yet Levia-tan…”

“Cat maid Youkai-san! Will you continue to stand against me?” Levia-tan asked, pointing her wand at her again.

Then Gasper made his entrance to the scene.

“….St-Stop right t-there!” He shouted from inside his box.

I still couldn’t believe that the director was fine with his costume. 

It looked ridiculous as Levia-tan faced down a cardboard box with glowing eyes. 

I really didn’t understand who would think this looked good for a film.

The cardboard box began to shake slightly.

“I-I-I aaaam a Va-Vampire!”

Gasper was so nervous that his voice was shaking. 

He was a shut-in who was terrified of being around people or receiving attention.

This situation must be like a nightmare to him.

He had seemed pumped up before when he first got his costume.

“Unlike our n-n-n-ne-Nekomata m-m-maid, I-I-I—“

Gasper stopped as there was the sound of flapping of wings.

A huge shadow passed over the area we were filming.

As we all looked up, we saw a giant bird monster circling above us.

None of the film crew seemed to panic, so this must be a part of the script that I missed.

The bird suddenly swooped down and picked Gasper and his box up in its talons.

Then it flew up into the air and began to fly away.

Maybe this was another beast that Levia-tan had tamed, like the T-Rex looking one?

The talent of whatever beast tamer they had was impressive.

Then I heard the director and one of the film crew talking.

“Where did that bird come from?”

“No clue.”

I quickly looked back towards the bird that was quickly moving away from us while carrying Gasper.

Yuuto-san, Yuki-san, and Xenovia all began to quickly chase after the bird monster.

Asia clutched her hands together with concern.

Koneko-chan stared at the retreating figure of the bird as the others started to attack it and try to free Gasper.

“…Gya-kun will be fine, he’s resilient.” She said casually.

I stared at her for a moment before looking back to the fight happening in the air.

Koneko-chan seems far too calm for this right now.

After Gasper was rescued and everyone gathered again, we began to get ready for the next scene.

Gasper was currently crying in his box as Asia and Yuki-san tried to console him.

“It was sooooo scary!! I felt everything drop as the bird picked me up! Then I was thrown around as the bird fought and tried to escape!”

Apparently, the director thought the scene looked interesting, so the giant bird abducting the cardboard box vampire would be included in the film. 

It was certainly interesting to watch, but I don’t know how it’s supposed to fit into the film.

For this next scene, it would be Xenovia and Gasper acting.

Since Gasper’s part got messed up in the last one, he was added back to the script here to make up for it.

This time the scene was titled [Levia-tan versus Holy sword wielded and cardboard box vampire shogun!]. 

I didn’t understand why his character had a rank.

Apparently the director decided that being abducted by a giant bird meant that he was a shogun now. 

We moved locations and this time the set would be mysterious ruins rather than a forest.

The film crew had prepared a whole area of ruins and they looked pretty good.

Since Xenovia was supposed to use her demonic power while fighting Serafall-sama, I lent her Ascalon again.

If she tried to use Durandel it would cause too much damage to the surroundings as she can’t completely control it’s destructive power yet. 

I just had to keep an eye on her so she didn’t try to hold onto my sword after we were done.

“Holy sword wielder-san! I cannot allow you to awaken the Dragon Emperor! Stand aside or I will be forced to defeat you!” Levia-tan shouted as she pointed her wand at Xenovia.

“Fufufu, I will defeat you here Levia-tan!” Xenovia said, brandishing her sword.

Xenovia’s voice sounded stiff and forced as she said her lines.

You could tell that she had no experience acting. 

It couldn’t really be helped though.

We were all amateurs.

“Here I come!” Levia-tan shouted

“Bring it!” Xenovia replied.

The two of the moved quickly and began to exchange blows.

Xenovia’s sword struck Levia-tan’s wand, sending sparks flying.

Their rapid exchange of blows was impressive to watch as they tried to push the other back.

Xenovia stuck quickly and fiercely while Levia-tan parried and shifted around her strikes.

It was like watching a dance between two professionals.

I was also shocked that Serafall-sama’s wand was able to stand up to Ascalon.

“How is her wand able to survive against a holy sword?” Yuki-san muttered.

The wand didn’t even look damaged despite being struck by Xenovia’s powerful blows.

“….Maou-sama is very powerful, so her costume would need to be as well, especially since she uses her powers while filming.” Koneko-chan added.

Yuki-san frowned and looked down at her own costume for a moment.

She took off her witch hat and created a small fireball in her hand with demonic power.

She fired the spell at the hat, but the flames didn’t leave a single mark onto her hat.

She stared at the hat silently.

“You said Leviathan-sama had your costume made for you personally right?” Yuuto-san asked, looking at the hat. “She might have had it made of the same material as her own.”

Yuki-san’s ear twitched.

“…did she give me a costume that would stand up to a Maou’s strength?”

I looked over her costume again then. 

It was difficult not to stare at.

It exposed plenty of her legs and was tight fitting around her breasts and hips as well.

Xenovia’s outfit may have been the most exposing, but Yuki-san’s was just as amazing to look at.

I looked away and back towards the fight scene before I was caught staring too hard. 

Levia-tan had backed off and was firing shots of demonic power now.

Xenovia dodged or cut through her attacks as she tried to close the distance. 

Eventually Xenovia’s sword was blown out of her hands by an attack.

It flew through the air before stabbing into the ground a short distance away. 

“Ku, you’re too strong for me, Levia-tan.” Xenovia said, stiffly.

She sounded like she was reading the lines for the first time as she spoke.

“Vampire-san, please come save…me…”

Xenovia’s plea for help died off as she turned to where Gasper was supposed to be.

The T-Rex was sniffing the box Gasper was in. 

As it nudged the box, I heard Gasper let out a whimper.

I looked over to the others and saw that they were also watching with concern.

“Maybe we should get Leviathan-sama to—“ 

Yuki-san was cut off by a loud shriek from Gasper. 

I turned back and saw that the T-Rex now had Gasper's box in its mouth.

We quickly rushed forward to save him.

“Bad Fluffy-kun! Spit it out now!” Serafall-sama shouted, scolding the large beast.

After we managed to free Gasper and Serafall-sama scolded her pet, we moved onto the last scene we would be shooting.

The director had decided to keep the scene with the dinosaur eating Gasper in the film.

I was completely lost as to why he thought that it would be a good thing to add into the film.

But when I questioned it, Serafall-sama had agreed with him to keep it.

“This film is going to be the best one out there☆! How little you’ll be able to predict how the story will end will be a key point for its success!”

I wasn’t the only one giving her skeptical looks.

Only Xenovia and Asia weren’t.

Instead they were nodding in agreement.

The set this time was an altar and a large stone statue of a Dragon.

Asia’s character would be summoning my character at the altar while Yuki-san and Yuuto-san fought Levia-tan.

Their fight would be the first half of the scene and then Asia would summon me for the second half.

Gasper was still included in this scene as well.

I was supposed to be the final boss of the film, but now Gasper’s character will appear before I am defeated.

The director didn’t really explain what Gasper would do once he was in the scene, and he was currently writing out his lines for the scene.

The name of the last scene was [Final battle of Levia-tan. Witch and Knight before the Legendary Dragon Emperor! -and Vampire God!]

I didn’t understand how Gasper’s character went from a shogun to a God, but I’d given up on trying to understand.

The director ran over with a stack of papers.

“Cardboard box-kun! I’ve got your lines!”

As he began to pass the pages into the new box Gasper was in I spotted a few of his lines.

They were full of dangerous topics towards Angles and Fallen Angels!

“Why are his lines like that?! This is a kid’s film! There shouldn’t be anything in it that will cause issues with our allies!” I shouted at the director

“This film won’t just be a mere child’s film! It will be one that will change the world!” He shouted dramatically.

“Please don’t change it!”

I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked to see Yuki-san next to me.

“It will be fine Issei-san. Leviathan-sama is the Maou responsible for the Devils foreign affairs. If she hasn’t said anything it will be fine…. Probably.”

I stared at her.

“Why don’t you sound confident about that?”

She shrugged.

“Well Maou-sama is an ...eccentric person, so I can’t be certain. But, I don’t think she’d make more work for herself for no reason.”

That did make me feel a bit better.

Yuki-san and I walked away from the director who was still mumbling to himself about changing the world with his Levia-tan film.

I decided to check over my lines.

After Yuuto-san and Yuki-san finish their fight scene, Asia has some lines before I come in.

She’ll summon me with a prayer at the altar and I’ll appear then. 

After that it will be my time to shine.

I chuckled to myself as I imagined it.

I’d stand out in this role and become a famous actor in the Underworld.

Once I do, then plenty of Devil girls and actresses and actresses will become interested in me.

My future was looking bright!
