With the combined efforts of the Alliance army, the Khoas Brigade's attack on the Underworld ended in utter failure. Not only did the alliance army manage to capture many traitors they even managed to kill two of the known leaders of the Khoas Brigade, such as Creuserey Asmodeus and Shalba Beelzebub.
This is a really good result for the Alliance army, as this was also their debut. Now with these achievements, they could proudly rope in the other pantheons to join them.
While Sirzechs and the leaders were celebrating their success Issei and the other kids were now preparing to go back home. Unlike the adults, they have school tomorrow, so they don't have the luxury to celebrate.
As soon as they returned to Earth, all of them had to get busy and prepare themselves to do their best for the upcoming sports festival.
The busiest person is actually Roxanne, who also came running back to the human world. That is because, in addition to all the duties she had to do as the leader of Shadow Garden and prepare for the sports festival, she also had to take care of/ babysit two dragon gods who were constantly bickering like two kids.
"Hey, you two, knock it off. Aren't the two of you supposed to be the oldest beings in this world? Why the hell are you two acting like two kindergarten kids?" Roxanne shouted as she held her head.
Well, with Ophis's form, calling her a kindergarten kid is actually not wrong, but age-wise, she is even older than Scarlet.
"Sorry," both Ophis and Scarlet apologized as they kept their heads down. They didn't dare to talk back to Roxanne and could only obediently accept her punishments.
" Well anyway, how long are you two planning to stay? " Roxanne asked as she sighed. As long as these two listened to her, she didn't mind them crashing at her place for a while.
" Well, we were thinking of staying here for a while. Ophis and I want to go see your sports festival," Scarlet said, making Ophis nod in agreement.
"Oh, why the sudden interest in the sports festival?" Roxanne asked curiously as she narrowed her eyes. These two Dragon Gods had never shown any interest in anything like this before.
"We want to cheer for you. I heard humans do this all the time," Ophis said, making Scarlet nod in agreement.
"So in other words, you just want to join in on the fun while cheering for me," Roxanne asked again, making them nod again. Yes, they were just here to enjoy the fun of being part of the winning party.
"Well, if it is just that, then I don't have any problems, " Roxanne said after thinking for a while. She didn't mind these two coming to her school's sports festival as long as they knew how to behave.
As for whether Rias and others discover their identities and notify the higher-ups about them and the fact that they may have some sort of connection with her. Roxanne didn't particularly care. Of course that doesn't mean she didn't prepare any countermeasures to hide Scarlet and Ophis's identities.
With each passing day, she felt the day her identity was going to be revealed to the public was coming soon. It couldn't be helped since many people have seen her face.
After all, although no secret could be kept forever it didn't mean one couldn't hide it for a long time.

Days passed by, and finally, the day for the sports festival arrived. Fireworks flew out in the sky as the school gates were crowded with various people coming to see the school sports festival.
Most of these people were the family members of the students while others were people who were invited to watch by the school board. There are also some people who came to watch the fun.
Suddenly there was the sound of the engine roaring as everyone turned to look in one direction.
In the distance, one could faintly see the outline of a car, which began to multiply each second. When the vehicles were near the school gate, everyone was shocked.
Bugatti Chiron, McLaren Speedtail, Chevrolet Corvette, Maserati MC20, and Bugatti Centodieci are all the top luxury cars one could only dream about. But now all these cars are passing by one after another. And the direction they were heading was none other than the direction of the school car park.
Just when everyone was shocked about the rows of luxury cars another sound of a roaring engine was heard. When everyone turned back to look, they were once again dumbfounded.
On the horizon, there was a large number of luxury motorbikes coming towards them. On those large rows of motorbikes, one could once again see their dream bikes. Ducati Panigale V4, BMW M 1000 RR, Kawasaki Ninja H2, Royal Enfield Classic—you name it. Everything was there for everyone to admire.
After all of the bikes passed by them, the passerby was a bit disoriented since their world views had crashed because of the shock.
But in their minds, they all had one question: ' Who the hell owns those cars and bikes, and how rich are they? And who the hell invited all these people?

" Did you all really have to come like that? The commotion you caused must have already reached everyone's ears by now," Ingvild asked as she looked at Roxanne and the rest of the Shadow Garden members as they parked their vehicles in the parking area.
"Come on, Ingvild, it's not every day we get to ride these babies, " Roxanne said as she parked her Kawasaki Ninja H2.
"Yeah, what the boss said," Morgana added as she also got up from Artoria's Honda Gold Wing.
Ingvild ignored her as she turned to Luciana, who, like everyone else, was also dressed fashionably with a black leather jacket, a pair of black jeans, and a blue shirt. Her transformation is so stunning that most wouldn't even recognize her at first glance.
"Why are you even in on this, Luciana? I thought you were the rational one, " Ingvild said with a bit of helplessness.
Luciana looked away, refusing to meet Ingvild's eyes. She couldn't possibly say that she was instantly on board when Roxanne used her puppy dog eyes on her.
"Hahaha, now, now, don't bully our Luci Chan Ingvild. Even she needs some time to relax." Roxanne swiftly came to Luciana's rescue. She went to extra lengths to get Luciana out of that maid dress for one day, and she wasn't going to let anyone destroy her hard work.
" Okay, I can put that aside, but tell me why the hell are you coming now. Weren't you supposed to be with your classmates in the tent? " Ingvild asked.
Those who were participating in the events were previously asked to come a little early for a small meeting to make sure everything is okay. So Roxanne, who is participating in more than 2 races, is unboundedly late.
"Hahaha, I have my ways," Roxanne smiled as she said mysteriously.

Hey everyone!
I've got some great news to share—after a month of hard work, I've officially introduced a brand-new tier on my Patreon! And yes, that means more advanced chapters are now available for you to enjoy. While some series may currently have only 3–4 chapters in the new tier, I'll be updating and adding more over the coming days.
Also, I'd like to kindly ask for your support:
As I begin my journey at university, I'm hoping to earn a little extra pocket money through Patreon. If you've been enjoying my work, it would mean a lot if you could recommend my novels to others. Even helping bring in just one new member makes a big difference.
Some of you may have noticed that my update rate has slowed down a bit over the past week. First, I want to sincerely apologize for that. I might have gotten a little too confident about keeping up with my usual pace, and clearly, I overestimated myself. I'm truly sorry.
That said, don't worry—despite my increasingly busy university schedule, I will continue updating chapters regularly. That's a promise from me to you, as your loyal author.
Now, on a brighter note!
To celebrate my recent admission to university, I'm launching a special promotion for the next two weeks:
✨ 30% off on all Patreon membership tiers! ✨
So if you're currently a free member and have been considering upgrading, now is the perfect time to jump in and enjoy the benefits.
Thank you as always for reading and supporting my stories.
Please enjoy the new chapters—and see you again soon!
If you want to read up to 20 advanced chapters, go to my Patreon account.
