So does anyone know what that creature is that the new member of the Four Fiends is holding. I've seen it a lot of times I just can't remember what It's called.
Nakiri Momiji/Priestess of the outer path
House of Nakiri has a secret isolation barrier technique.
In their unique dimension, they seal hidden treasures or dangerous things that cannot be let out to the outside world.
Applying ten of those barrier techniques that separate from the outside world, the continued to keep a certain something in concealment.
It wasn’t a secret treasure or formula, just a single girl---
A space the size of Tokyo Dome was basically a pure white world, the sky as well as the ground were nothing but white.
And standing in the middle of this white space was a splendid Shinto shrine.
The one setting his foot inside was a single boy.
The boy who was to enter this barrier was special even within the House of Nakiri.
12 years-old boy, Nakiri Ryuuta was his name.
Ryuuta entered the shrine and headed towards inner part. The most guarded one in this space lived there.
Ryuuta opened a door of a room in the back.
This was---the girl’s room. Ryuuta saw her sitting down in front of TV while playing games. She was 15.
Something looking like credits was displayed on the screen. It appears that she cleared a game.
Ryuuta pulled a chair from a writing desk and sit there.
He asked the girl.
“Momiji-chan, you’ve already cleared new game that brother (written as “cousin”) Ryuuji…no, that Oryuu-san gifted to you?
The girl named Momiji noded while looking bored.
“Yeah. Well, because only playing games is not fun… Not to mention that inside this “Kouchin barrier” you can’t play online games, so it’s all the more boring.”
She…Nakiri Momiji, had been living here for a long time, isolated from the outside world.
And the reason for this is simple, inside her---dwelled forbidden outer law that must never be taken outside.
Even within the House of Nakiri only a handful of people knew about this. Only Momiji’s father – the former head of Nakiri, - her brother – the current head of family…Nakiri Nakagami no Oryuu – and the central people of Nakiri knew about this, the most secret of secrets.
Even Ryuuta, who was visiting this place, wasn’t told about the thing that dwells within her. Momiji simply told Ryuuta that some circumstances didn’t allow her to go out and later he, her cousin, was allowed to come here as her talk partner to keep her from being lonely.
Momiji said.
“Hey, Ryuuta. What do you think, will I be able to come out of here someday?”
To her question Ryuuta just cocked his head in puzzlement.
“Hmm, I keep asking Oryuu-san, but I wonder if it’s useless.”
“I see…recently even nii-san doesn’t show up, so it’s really boring.”
Lamented truly bored Momiji.
Hre brother, Nakiri Nakagami no Oryuu, didn’t explain in detail about power dwelling within her even to his little sister Momiji herself.
Because he understood---even if he did, nothing good would come out of it.
Ryuuta spoke “Ah” to the dissatisfied Momiji as if remembering something.
He took a file from his bag.
“Oryuu-san asked me to give you this. Although Oryuu-san will also explain about it later…”
Hearing about a present from her brother, Momiji became curious and took the file from Ryuuta. When she opened it, there was one copy of paper materials.
Mamiji skimmed through it.
“…New game proposal?”
She uttered so.
Ryuuta was interested, so he asked.
“Woah, new game proposal? I wonder if Oryuu-san reached out his hands towards gaming enterprise.”
While on one hand the House of Nakiri had an occupation of using supernatural powers, they had various businesses in the public world and acquired resources from them.
Momiji started reading the document with thrill.
“Looks like you use mobile phones for this one. Seems interesting.”
Ryuuta asked Momiji who was reading thoroughly while saying that.
“Does it have a name?”
“Yeah, though it’s temporary.”
She showed document’s front cover.
“---[Denpachi].”
This is the beginning of Karma----
This is the emergence of Dark----
The name of the power dwelling within Nakiri Momiji is---one of the Longinus, the one called [Telos Karma].
Unknown to the boy with dog and the fallen angels’ leader, gears of fate were quietly and certainly going out of control.
This would become an incident several years before Slash Dog, Diabolous Dragon and Cross times Kiss met----

Did not see that one coming. What a curveball Ishibumi threw at us.
Cover is Suzaku Himejima and Genbu Doumon.
And first color illustration is the new member of the Four Fiends most likely with a description.
Second color illustration is Suzaku(I want her), Lavinia, Sae, Natsume, and new girl in the last color illustration.
Third color illustration is Genbu Doumon, Seiryu Kushihashi, and Byakko Shinra with descriptions apparently(can't read Japanese kanji though).
First illustration is Suzaku seeming to reminisce about Akeno and her mother.
Second illustration is Lavinia and new girl(Maybe it's the new girl. Difficult to tell when her hair is down like that)
Third illustration is David with Galatine and Freed.
Fourth illustration is Samejima apparently fighting Byakko Shinra in tiger-man form and him blocking Samejima's lightning-imbued lance by grabbing it.
Fifth illustration is Samejima and Vali.
Sixth illustration is Natsume and Sae I guess.
Seventh illustration is Genbu blowing away a couple of animals(dogs perhaps).
Eighth is Suzaku bathing(Marry me please!)
Ninth is Tobio in Balance Breaker(but kind of looks like a Dragon though).
Calamity/Karma
It was a discussion that took place after Nakiri Nakagami no Oryuu ended his contest with Ikuse Tobio, left [Inner Sanctuary] and went to a certain suburban city.
It was conducted in a room of office building’s basement.
The one Nakiri Nakagami no Oryuu had a clandestine meeting with---was a man with masculine looks and brown hair. His silver eyes shone charmingly even amidst the darkness inside the room.
He was dressed in a peculiar combat uniform. It had a resemblance with the one fallen angels’ leaders wore during battle. Rather, it was exactly that uniform.
Nakagami no Oryuu accepted the discussion with this man---a betrayer from Grigori, Satanael.
Inside the modest room was nothing but a table and a chair, Oryuu and Satanael were also the only ones present.
Satanael silently turned towards Oryuu and placed official papers---a document on the table.
Looking at the document presented, Oryuu squinted and made a stern face. A serious expression he hadn’t even shown to his colleagues, fellow Four Sacred Beasts.
The man hailed as matchless [Nakiri Oryuu] was making a face unusual for himself.
He glared at Satanael and enquired of him.
“The one with black wings, is it really true? If I accept your proposal---“
Interrupting him, Satanael asserted.
“But of course. I’ll suppress the unusual power nesting inside your little sister-kun---the Sacred Gear.”
Satanael was showing Oryuu research data about Sacred Gears.
And this document---was related to [Longinus].
Oryuu rested a hand on his forehead and sighed.
“….If it had been an ordinary Sacred Gear, it still would've been better. However…”
Satanael shrugged his shoulders.
“The thing that dwells within your little sister-kun….within Nakiri Momiji…that Sacred Gear is considered the manifestation of Outer Path---of unlucky number itself. It is extremely dangerous. The chief of Five Great Houses should know how dangerous it is.”
Keeping a gloomy look on his face Oryuu made a long, deep sigh and then cut to the chase.
“…What do you want of me? What should I do to save my little sister?”
Pulling those words from the young head of the House of Nakiri, the first among Five Great Houses, Satanael answered while smiling thinly.
“I plan to conduct two big experiments in this country. All that I need is a bit of assistance. What’s with that face, the [Nakiri] house will be able to continue it’s existence even after this. So I want two things. One of them is [Walpurgis Night] by the witches of [Oz]. As for the other one---“
Satanael took out a new document and showed it to Oryuu.
“I haven’t told about this plan even to [Oz]. So I’d like you to keep it a secret. And this plan is precisely the one and only thing that is able to save your little sister-kun. ---This is also similar to innovation.”
He, Satanael, genuinely acted only for the sake of satisfying his own craving for research.
Possibilities of Sacred Gears----Sacred Treasures, elucidating on Longinus…all of this for the sake of creating [The incarnation that destroys even Gods] with his own hands.
With a childish curiosity and spirit of enquiry, he wanted to know about God’s principles.
Yes, innocently so---

So my guess is that the second plan of his has to do with the game 'Denpachi.'
The kanji in the description of the small beast the odd-eyed girl is holding is the kanji for Taotie/Toutetsu. So yeah, Four Fiends possessor. Now only Konton's possessor should be left.

@Le Fay What is the new Fiend's name though exactly. I thought it was Shigune Nanadaru. But then someone corrected me(probably you) and told me it was Signe.
Wonder how strong this Ouryuu is considering he's called 'Ghost of the Gods' according to Shin Volume 2 spoilers and he's apparently the strongest Ouryuu in history. Maybe he can fight on par with Fallen Angel cadres. And compared to the other Sacred Beasts of the Five Great Families, he's already the head of his clan as of now.
@Le Fay Thanks for the spoilers though. I really appreciate it. Do you know what's the overall plot of this volume though?

Nanadaru Shigune is the girl's name. After sparring between Tobio and Oryuu, Vali commented that Oryuu probably didn't use 1 tenth of his true strength (though Tobio didn't use bxb), but Vali also added that even in bxb, Tobio would probably be overwhelmed. He is the strongest among Sacred Beasts.
As for the plot, haven't read the whole volume, but the main antagonist is a youkai named soranaki.
The Himejima shrine is enchanted so that ordinary people cant enter or reach the shrine. Suzaka since she's a child is incredibly talented and was taught how to break those enchantments even when she's in elementary school. Suzaku meets with Akeno, there's talk about Himejima's fire affinity and Akeno's affinity dealing with Oni because of her blood, and talk about how their family members want to get rid of Akeno. Suzaka isnt afraid of Akeno and wants her to be part of the Himejima family. Shuri died on the same day Suzaku became "Suzaku". She went to the the corner of Himejima's territory now abandoned and she set up a grave for Shuri pleading that one day she'll bring Akeno back into the family. Suzaku now 17 stands in front of the grave promising to bring Akeno back, but says she has someone else to help first. The girl who inherited Suzaku and the boy with the black dog was turned over by fate.
Spoiler for Chapter 1. New Life/Agent:
Celebrating New Years, Tobio made food for everyone which makes them all happy including Lavinia as he made Italian food as well. Later they planned on going to a Japanese Shrine. They received Kimonos from Azazel as gifts, Tobio decided to check on the girls stumbles upon Sae and Lavinia changing. Sae and Tobio gets embarrassed, so Tobio leaves but is eavesdropping their conversation through the door saying that boys shouldnt see them naked.
At the shrine, they said that the gods there must be accepting towards pagans, as there are many tourist there. Everyone goes to the shrine except for Vali who says that his Maou blood will confuse the gods there. Lavinia smiles which makes Tobio and Vali blush as well as Vali saying that the Maou Prince shouldnt worship Japanese Gods and walks away. Because of Vali's influence, Canis Lykaon, and the 4 Fiends, they're experiencing a feeling of discomfort. Afterwards they talk about the Abyss team and that Sae and Shigune only providing support, with Shigune is quite capable, but she's not allowed to participate in the missions, because her sg is dangerous. They see Vali setting on a bench eating candy and takoyaki, Lavinia asked for one which embarrasses Vali, so he gave her the rest of them. Tobio says that New Years is peaceful but knows the peace will come to an end soon.
Spoiler for Inugami/Youkai:
Oz witches came to Inugami Gyoubu. He's considered to be as strong as Yasaka. They want him to help them, asking about whether he knows about Canis Lycaon appearing. He says that he has as notice strange powers recently and says he hates foreign magic. But also that it was of no interest for him, but witches talk about him wanting to retaliate to 5 houses and show him a peculiar youkai , which is unknown to Inugami. The witches offer help to deal with the 5 families in return he helps them deal with Canis Lycaon. He becomes interested and agrees to talk to them.
Spoiler for Chapter 2. Chairman of Grau Zauberer/Church's Exorcist:
They undergo training in Armaros' class. Tobio had a sparring match against an American SG student whos SG allows him to manipulate fire with his hands which he creates a fire sword. Tobio won quite easily. Samejima also won, Natsume had a draw. They're now studying magic, shikigamis, Shinto, and Yin and Yang. Barakiel tells them that they need to be prepared to fight monsters, demons, and other occult beings. Later Azazel comes and tells them about meeting with Mephisto. Since Oz is aiming towards the 5 families, Mephisto sent Lavinia to aid the Grigori, he has been offering to help the 5 families, but they kept saying no. But they finally agree to an in-person meeting. So Azazel tasked them to go with Lavinia to protect Mephisto and take Vali with them.(edited)
They go to Tokyo airport to meet up with him. Mephisto arrives and asked if Vali would want him to call him "his Highness", with Vali saying he'd rather just be called Vali Lucifer. Azazel says that Mephisto had a bad relations with the 4 Maou, and he comments that Azazel's situation is also complicated and that he promise he wont reveal Vali to the government. They leave to go to a shrine of the 5 families. On their way they get attacked by David and Freed.
David easily dealt with anything Samejima and Natsume did, but couldn't do anything to Mephisto, commenting that if he managed to hurt Mephisto, he'd be considered as a hero similar to Strada, but Mephisto says though he may be a feared swordsman, he'll never be of that caliber. Tobio fights against Freed, but wasn't able to hurt him. Lavinia and Vali smiling help fight David. Freed looks at Sae and Shigune, licking his lips, but David says not to attack Shigune, because it may end up involving others
David doesn't seem to be that crazy, because he at least didn't want to involve normal people. Then 4 sacred beasts arrive.Freed shoots Byakko in the face, but he's unfazed, only saying "it hurt". Genbu sealed off Freed's light sword. Byakko wanted to taste the powers of a light gun and mentions that Suzaku and Seiryuu often say they want to study pagan technology.
Genbu says though she finds it difficult to understand foreign magic, she often says they're sloppy and annoying. They notice that those 2 are priest. Freed takes out a flashbang, and uses it to escape with David. Mephisto says that this was a poor way to start off their meeting. Then they all go to the inner sanctuary of the 5 families.
Spoiler for Chapter 3. Five Head Families/Inner Sanctuary:
While driving, the windows are tinted to prevent them from seeing outside and where they're going. Byakko refuses to have pointless conversations, so there's an awkward atmosphere. Genbu decides to give everyone drinks because of the atmosphere. The 5 families have separate houses all over the county, but they have some places where all 5 of them meet together and they're going to an important one of those houses. Byakko says that the current Ouryuu is the strongest.
They arrive hours later and notice the area has an enchantment, and they meet with Suzaku and Seiryuu and talk about the attack from the Church. Seiryuu says they'll investigate the attacks and gives them rings for the SGs. They enter and encounter Ouryuu who gives off an strong atmosphere and Ouryuu then looks towards Jin and the 4 Fiends, which for Tobio gave a strong impression. They enter a room where they see several people setting behind curtains, those people are the older generation 5 Families. They sat down, and the older generation says this is the first time devils came here, everyone's confused except for Vali and the current heads, with Mephisto saying to them he's a devil.(edited)
Tobio, Natsume, Samejima, Sae, and Shigune are shocked with Vali retorting that Mephisto is a famous devil recorded in books and they should read more. They thought Mephisto was just a pseudonym. Everyone except for Mephisto, the old gen families, and Ouryuu left to another room to talk to the current heads. They said that during the past instances, Azazel and Grauzauberer offered to provide them with information, but the 5 families keep insisting on the solving the problems themselves. Working with Grauzauberer has been highly opposed by the families, also they didnt want to involve 2 different factions and young people into their problem.
When asked why did they invite them, they looked at Tobio and Jin and says that Jin though was created by a Pagan God and Tobio holds Himejima blood, so he can either be a threat or ally, so they cant ignore him. They wonder that if the negotiations fail, will they kill Tobio? They said they dont want to do that, but still need to check Tobio's worth. Suzaku mentions that despite their SGs, they're just normal high school students who can have normal lives (except for Tobio). They said that Ouryuu wants to test his strength, and Byakko wants to understand more about the 4 Fiends, so he'll fight Samejima who also has a cat. Tobio vs Ouryuu and Samejima vs Byakko.
Before the sparring between Tobio and Ouryuu they also discussed a possibility of remnants of Hi-no-Kagutsuchi's flames inside Tobio's sg and about awaking it through a ceremony.
Tobio vs Ouryuu:
The moment Ouryuu touched the ground, it began to feel strange. Tobio has Jin use Night Haken, but Ouryuu kicks it away. He says the difference in strength is quite apparent and that he can feel his every movement through the earth. So he asked Tobio to use BxB.
Samejima vs Byakko:
Byakka transforms himself into the Byakko (Similar to what Nakiri does in DxD), Mephisto says that those contracted with the 5 Sacred Beast is that they can either summon the sacred beast or transform their body into the beast, with Byakko having the later ability. His speed and power increases and he sends Samejima flying towards the wall. Samejima has his SG to transform his arm into a lightning spear and rushes towards Byakko's head, but he blocks and grabs it then counterattacks him in the abdomen. Samejima coughs out blood with his SG healing him, but Byakko is shown that his body is smoking from the electricity.
Tobio vs Ouryuu continued:
Tobio is using a blade as a skateboard and attacking Ouryuu from the shadows behind him where he managed to break through his defenses. People are shocked by how Tobio's SG managed to injury him, saying his SG must be powerful as this is the first time Ouryuu's bleeding. Byakko laughs and says its truly a Longinus. Ouryuu asked for him to use BxB, Tobio and the audience is wondering if he should use it. Just before he uses it Mephisto ends the match.
Afterwards Ouryuu tells him that he must face his internal existence and not be consumed by it, Sae talks to him later saying that his normal human and his daily life is very important
They go to a hospital to heal, the boys and girls are separated. Vali said he wanted to see Tobio BxB vs Ouryuu, and says that the power gap between Ouryuu with them and the other heads is huge as he's the strongest Ouryuu. He also mentions that Ouryuu wasnt using even 1/10th of his power, and both of them would've lost against him even if Tobio used BxB. So Samejima tears Vali's mouth open. They're later told that the Onsen here is great for healing wounds.
Tobio begins washing his body in the onsen, then Jin joins him which Tobio hears another voice telling him that since Jin is his avatar it isnt a problem. The voice is revealed to be Suzaku. Tobio covers his eyes, with Suzaku telling him this is a mixed bath, so she begins to help wash his back. Sae has also washed his back when they were kids, so he has experience with woman who arent family washing him. Suzaku comments on his back and that this is the first time she's been close a boy's back. He tries to leave, but she convinces him to stay for a while. Tobio is unconsciously looking at her chest. Suzaku asked if Tobio hates the other heads, with him saying he doesnt have a good first impression of them. She says that the 5 Families have prospered since ancient times which has lead later produced and estrangement. She mentions losing a cousin and an aunt, saying that even with her strength she couldnt save those 2 and regrets it very much.
Suzaku resolves as the next family head to change the system, she apologizes to Tobio and mentions that the current heads of the 5 Families are scared of losing control and power. With Tobio being confirmed as Himejima, the Himejima family is worried that his existence will hurt the family's influence. Suzaku says that this current system will continue to produce hatred and pain which will create tragedy. Suzaku moves closer towards Tobio saying she'll protect her family and him. She notices how close she is to his face and apologizes with her saying that its strange for relatives to be this close, though Tobio acknowledges her resolve. Since Tobio grew up in a normal family, he doesnt understand the pressure Suzaku experienced, but says when they first met, he didnt hate her. Their bodies embrace with Suzaku holding his facing saying that "I will definitely let the family admit you. Its not dangerous to be with you"
With their faces close, they hear someone scream which turns out to be Sae with Natsume, Lavinia, and Shigune entering as well. Suzaku greets them calmly and says that this a mixed bath and she was washing his body. Sae and Natsume are shocked by this the most. Sae asked him whats he doing, and Tobio says its not what it looks like.
Natsume: "A young man and woman together in a hot spring, doesnt that make them lovers!"
Tobio(thinking): Please dont add fuel to the fire.
Natsume: "Cousins cant marry. Absolutely not!"
Suzaku "Marrying Tobio? ...I see"
Natsume "You are pondering about it right after being told so?! You're kidding, right?!"
Lavinia asked Sae whats wrong, she's crying saying that she used to wash Tobio's back since elementary school.
Sae "...Tobio, is it about breasts? you like big ones like Lavinia's and Himejima-san's?"
Tobio then gets attacked by Shigune and her Fiend.
He returns with the other students and Vali, they already know that Tobio was with the girls and he doesnt deny what he saw. He thinks about asking Suzaku for information about his grandmother. Suddenly an earthquake appears and their told to go to a meeting room. Where they meet with the 5 heirs, Mephisto, Tobio is wondering what Ouryuu is doing. When asked whats the cause of the earthquake, Suzaku says that Youkai are attacking and says the location is protected by 5 enchantments which prevents normal people and demons from entering here, and that they're destroying them. When asked what Youkai is capable of doing that, they shown a image on a monitor showing that the first 2 enchantments have been destroyed by a giant Youkai. Mephisto says the giant Youkai is Soranaki. Suzaku says that Ouryuu has already went to the front lines, and are shocked as they learned that Soranaki has been enhanced by magic from Oz. Byakko gets angry as the witches and Youkai teamed up to attack together. Everyone besides Vali feels overwhelmed, with him being the only one happy saying that rather than peace, this suits him best.
Suzaku looks at the other 3 heirs and tells them they cant let them reach the mansion. They hear the sound of another enchantment being broken, so they had out to defend the front lines. They return to the mansion to treat the wounded, Vali says that if they have Phoenix tears, they'll all be healed already, with Lavinia saying that they're expensive as they being to High-class devils. Suzaku says the 4th and 5th enchantments are their last line of defense. They asked how will they deal with its regeneration, and orders everyone to retreat. Before they retreated, Vali is unable as he wasnt allowed to fight since Lavinia says that Vali needs direct contact to divide, so Oz may have enchanted Soranaki with magic as countermeasures for it, so he wasnt allowed to rush in. Vali questions the motive behind the attack, why is Oz even attacking this place? The 4 heads reveal that this mansions houses the"Treasure of Uji", with Lavinia shocked as she thought it was just a rumor. They mention that this was an ancient treasure of Japan, and Vali mentions that they've been investigating it before Tobio awakened.
The Treasure of Uji was used to seal away 3 Legendary Youkai and if Oz manages to get the treasure they can unseal those 3 Youkai who can destroy all of Japan in an instant. Only the 5 families managed to seal them away. The room becomes silent after what Suzaku said but Vali is shown to be smiling. Lavinia asked how can they prevent Oz from getting the treasure. Suzaku says she'll perform a ceremony to unlock Tobio's dormant powers. They leave to perform the ceremony with Tobio explaining interest unlocking in his dormant Himejima powers, he's told that the Himejima family doesnt want him to unlock them, but they have no choice. In a room, only 1 female grand elder is present, only females can gain the protection of the fire god, with the males being strangled by Dragon feathers. They're trying to unlock Hinokagutsuchi which is sealed inside Canis Lykaon. Suzaku asked the elder if the fire gods will unlock Hinokagutsuchi who's inside a SG wielded by a male, she says it could work hypothetically. Suzaku tells Tobio he still doesnt understand his black blade, with Tobio remembering that Canis Lykaon is consist of 2 sources: King of Arcadia Lycaon and Ame-no-Ohabari which was used to kill Hinokagutsuchi. And that he's never been able to manifest the fire abilities of his SG.
The elder leaves so they can perform the ceremony, but before she leaves she wonders if Ageha had a happy life. Tobio hears that and says that his grandmother and grandfather had a happy life. The elder is shown to feel some regret for Ageha's banishment as she was her master. Tobio and Suzaku enter a room with an artificial waterfall to cleanse their bodies. Suzaku is wearing a white robe with no underwear, Tobio sees her naked body as the robe becomes transparent from the water and tries not to look directly at her as he's confused over how one should feel when looking at the body of one's relative. Suzaku tells him its his turn with Tobio replying he didnt bring any underwear.
Afterwards, they changed clothes to perform the ceremony, where Suzaku began to dance that had the impression of a mysterious beauty. As she dances, flames, wings, claws, and a mouth gradually formed behind her until a giant fire bird with a red lotus formed behind her. The bird then took the shape of a human releasing a powerful flame all over the room then it reaching towards Tobio's chest. After a moment of pain, a black hole appeared in Tobio's chest, with the humanoid reaching inside in which Tobio couldnt move and felt no pain and pulled out Ame-no-Ohabari. The hole in Tobio and the humanoid disappears, in which Suzaku gave Tobio the sword and tells him that the sword host the flames of Hinokagutsuchi and if he wants to use the real Ame-no-Ohabari, he has to use BxB. Then they hear a shock, the 4th enchantment has been destroyed. They now rush towards the battle.
Spoiler for Chapter 4. Inugami and Suzaku/Inugami and Soranaki:
The guards are fighting to protect the 5th enchantment. Tobio and Sae enter a car and rushes to the fight, Tobio thinks to himself about wanting to talk more to the elder about his grandmother. Getting out of the car, Tobio takes Sae's hand who's crying saying that how did things came to this, when they were all just normal highschool students. The shipwreck, the Oz attacks, and now Youkai attacking with Tobio using his SG and fighting throughout all of those incidents. Tobio says that he'll eliminate the bad memories, will be a man, there's always hope, peace will come tomorrow, today we'll fight. "We'll win today to get peace for tomorrow." Tobio holds her hand and says he'll win, says that everyone will have a peaceful life, and promise to bring everyone back home. She laughs and tells him to close his eyes, in which their lips touch, as she unexpectedly kisses him which she blushes and smiles with tears. Letting go of her hand he rushes to the fight with sickle and sword in hand, he prays to Hinokagutsuchi, but notes that this is heresy towards the Himejima family as he holding the sword that killed Hinokagutsuchi, but regardless asked him for his strength. He sees the smiles of Sae, his friends, and Suzaku in his mind as he rushes to the fight chanting BxB.
Suzaku and Seiryuu attacked the Youkais, Lavinia and Vali opened a path for Tobio, Gyoubou tried to stop them by filling the path again with more Youkais, Genbu, Byakko, Natsume, and Samejima defeated them, with Griffin creating a whirlwind to push Gyoubou and Soranaki back. They see BxB Tobio entering the battlefield holding a sword thats covered in black and red flames. Tobio says that even a god can be killed by this SG, and he and Jin jumps towards Soranaki and slashes him. However even after slashing him up and being burnt, it keeps regenerating. He remembers that Suzaku told him that even if he did chop it up, it can still regenerate, so wondering what to do now, Griffin drops Shigune down nearby who tells her fiend its time to eat. Shigune's masked fiend ate Soranaki bit by bit. Most of the Youkai ran away after that, with Tobio and Jin deactivates BxB and reached their limit. However Gyoubou still remain and tried to attack Tobio with an army of Youkai, so Tobio with 2 sickles kills them in high speed which Gyoubou loses consciences. They cheer for their victory and everyone goes back to the mansion, Tobio's eyes sees Natsume, Samejima, Lavina, Shigune, Suzaku, and Vali and he looks and sees Sae crying and rushing towards them.
Mephisto congratulates them and is shown to have capture some of the Oz witches. Suzaku thanks Mephisto for his help. Lavinia and Vali says that their now allowed to leave and go back to the outside world, Ouryuu has a meeting with the elders, Genbu blushing works up the courage to thank Vali with a squeaky voice. Everyone is shocked by the scene and girls become interested. So Natsume began wondering if Vali is super handsome and he shouldnt ignore girls his age and Lavinia hugs him from behind and tells him he's becoming an adult. He pushes her away and tells her to stop treating him like a child. Suzaku and Tobio shake hands, in which they leave with Tobio falling a sleep in the car.
Spoiler for Epilogue:
A week later, Suzaku visits them and explained that Gyoubou has been sealed by the 5 Families. They're rebuilding the enchantments, and explains Oz's attacks also involved altering the Dragon's Vein which are energy points all over Japan. She says that the Dragon's Veins are a bit unstable but not world altering, Vali says that Oz is likely planning something big involving the veins. Suzaku agrees with Lavinia saying that Mephisto found out that Oz plans on performing a ceremonial ritual called "Walpurgisnacht (Witches' Night)". Suzaku says it'll take months to fixed the Veins, so they're told to be vigilant for the next few months. Tobio remembers that Azazel said this was also a test for the 4 Fiends and the Longinus. With this the 5 Families, Grigori, and Grauzauberer are now working together. Suzaku with permission from her family has rented an apartment nearby and will be the 5 Families contact for this team up. She then holds Tobio's hand saying that she plans on marrying him, which shocks everyone (Tobio, Sae, and Natsume the most). This is because he's strength is needed for the Himejima family and would allow him to come back.
The current head of Himejima wants to meet with Tobio for a marriage interview shocking Tobio, Sae, and Natsume. Natsume panics and tries to think about what to do before they get married, Sae says this going too fast, Lavinia says its a pity as she wants to be with Tobio more. Natsume says that Tobio's being taken away by Suzaku and Lavinia says that they'll still be together. Suzaku asked Sae how was her kiss with Tobio, which shocks everyone. Natsume says that they have been looking at each other intimately, which causes both of them to blush. Samejima laughs saying it must be hard, Vali holds his hand on his head and shakes his head, Shigune holds Po-kun with a bitter smile. Suzaku says before all of this they still need to deal with Oz.
Spoiler for Calamity/Karma:
It was a discussion that took place after Nakiri Nakagami no Oryuu ended his contest with Ikuse Tobio, left [Inner Sanctuary] and went to a certain suburban town.
It was conducted in a room of office building’s basement.
The one Nakiri Nakagami no Oryuu had a clandestine meeting with---was a man with masculine looks and brown hair. His silver eyes shone charmingly even amidst the darkness inside the room.
He was dressed in a peculiar combat uniform. It had a resemblance with the one fallen angels’ leaders wore during battle. Rather, it was exactly that uniform.
Nakagami no Oryuu accepted the discussion with this man---a betrayer from Grigori, Satanael.
Inside the modest room was nothing but a table and a chair, Oryuu and Satanael were also the only ones present.
Satanael silently turned towards Oryuu and placed official papers---a document on the table.
Looking at the document presented, Oryuu squinted and made a stern face. A serious expression he hadn’t even shown to his colleagues, fellow Four Sacred Beasts.
The man hailed as matchless [Nakiri Oryuu] was making a face unusual for himself.
He glared at Satanael and enquired of him.
“The one with black wings, is it really true? If I accept your proposal---“
Interrupting him, Satanael asserted.
“But of course. I’ll suppress the unusual power nesting inside your little sister-kun---the Sacred Gear.”
Satanael was showing Oryuu research data about Sacred Gears.
And this document---was related to [Longinus].
Oryuu rested a hand on his forehead and sighed.
“….If it had been an ordinary Sacred Gear, it still would've been better. However…”
Satanael shrugged his shoulders.
“The thing that dwells within your little sister-kun….within Nakiri Momiji…that Sacred Gear is considered the manifestation of Outer Path---of unlucky number itself. It is extremely dangerous. The chief of Five Great Houses should know how dangerous it is.”
Keeping a gloomy look on his face Oryuu made a long, deep sigh and then cut to the chase.
“…What do you want of me? What should I do to save my little sister?”
Pulling those words from the young head of the House of Nakiri, the first among Five Great Houses, Satanael answered while smiling thinly.
“I plan to conduct two big experiments in this country. All that I need is a bit of assistance. What’s with that face, the [Nakiri] house will be able to continue it’s existence even after this. So I want two things. One of them is [Walpurgis Night] by the witches of [Oz]. As for the other one---“
Satanael took out a new document and showed it to Oryuu.
“I haven’t told about this plan even to [Oz]. So I’d like you to keep it a secret. And this plan is precisely the one and only thing that is able to save your little sister-kun. ---This is also similar to innovation.”
He, Satanael, genuinely acted only for the sake of satisfying his own craving for research.
Possibilities of Sacred Gears----Sacred Treasures, elucidating on Longinus…all of this for the sake of creating [The incarnation that destroys even Gods] with his own hands.
With a childish curiosity and spirit of enquiry, he wanted to know about God’s principles.
Yes, innocently so---
Spoiler for Nakiri Momiji/Priestess of the Outer Law:
House of Nakiri has a secret isolation barrier technique.
In their unique dimension, they seal hidden treasures or dangerous things that cannot be let out to the outside world.
Applying ten of those barrier techniques that separate from the outside world, the continued to keep a certain something in concealment.
It wasn’t a secret treasure or formula, just a single girl---
A space the size of Tokyo Dome was basically a pure white world, the sky as well as the ground were nothing but white.
And standing in the middle of this white space was a splendid Shinto shrine.
The one setting his foot inside was a single boy.
The boy who was to enter this barrier was special even within the House of Nakiri.
12 years-old boy, Nakiri Ryuuta was his name.
Ryuuta entered the shrine and headed towards inner part. The most guarded one in this space lived there.
Ryuuta opened a door of a room in the back.
This was---the girl’s room. Ryuuta saw her sitting down in front of TV while playing games. She was 15.
Something looking like credits was displayed on the screen. It appears that she cleared a game.
Ryuuta pulled a chair from a writing desk and sit there.
He asked the girl.
“Momiji-chan, you’ve already cleared new game that brother (written as “cousin”) Ryuu…no, that Oryuu-san gifted to you?
The girl named Momiji noded while looking bored.
“Yeah. Well, because only playing games is not fun… Not to mention that inside this “Kouchin barrier” you can’t play online games, so it’s all the more boring.”
She…Nakiri Momiji, had been living here for a long time, isolated from the outside world.
And the reason for this is simple, inside her---dwelled forbidden outer law that must never be taken outside.
Even within the House of Nakiri only a handful of people knew about this. Only Momiji’s father – the former head of Nakiri, - her brother – the current head of family…Nakiri Nakagami no Oryuu – and the central people of Nakiri knew about this, the most secret of secrets.
Even Ryuuta, who was visiting this place, wasn’t told about the thing that dwells within her. Momiji simply told Ryuuta that some circumstances didn’t allow her to go out and later he, her cousin, was allowed to come here as her talk partner to keep her from being lonely.
Momiji said.
“Hey, Ryuuta. What do you think, will I be able to come out of here someday?”
To her question Ryuuta just cocked his head in puzzlement.
“Hmm, I keep asking Oryuu-san, but I wonder if it’s useless.”
“I see…recently even nii-san doesn’t show up, so it’s really boring.”
Lamented truly bored Momiji.
Hre brother, Nakiri Nakagami no Oryuu, didn’t explain in detail about power dwelling within her even to his little sister Momiji herself.
Because he understood---even if he did, nothing good would come out of it.
Ryuuta spoke “Ah” to the dissatisfied Momiji as if remembering something.
He took a file from his bag.
“Oryuu-san asked me to give you this. Although Oryuu-san will also explain about it later…”
Hearing about a present from her brother, Momiji became curious and took the file from Ryuuta. When she opened it, there was one copy of paper materials.
Mamiji skimmed through it.
“…New game proposal?”
She uttered so.
Ryuuta was interested, so he asked.
“Woah, new game proposal? I wonder if Oryuu-san reached out his hands towards gaming enterprise.”
While on one hand the House of Nakiri had an occupation of using supernatural powers, they had various businesses in the public world and acquired resources from them.
Momiji started reading the document with thrill.
“Looks like you use mobile phones for this one. Seems interesting.”
Ryuuta asked Momiji who was reading thoroughly while saying that.
“Does it have a name?”
“Yeah, though it’s temporary.”
She showed document’s front cover.
“---[Denpachi].”
This is the beginning of Karma----
This is the emergence of Dark----
The name of the power dwelling within Nakiri Momiji is---one of the Longinus, the one called [Telos Karma].
Unknown to the boy with dog and the fallen angels’ leader, gears of fate were quietly and certainly going out of control.
This would become an incident several years before Slash Dog, Diabolous Dragon and Cross times Kiss met----
Spoiler for Afterword:
Suzaku's back, Sae launched an offensive counterattack, Tobio's charm is flying everywhere, his childhood friend wont be silent, the 5 heirs arent evil. V4 Oz's plan approaches, more scenes involving Natsume, Sae, Lavinia, Suzaku, and Shigune, and Tobio and Vali's relationship will be written.
Done by Riku on Discord except for Calamity/Karma and Nakiri Momiji/Priestess of the Outer Law done by Le Fay but you knew that already.

Main protagonist gets engaged to a beautiful powerful teenage girl who's the heir to her clan. Check.
Looking at the color illustration of Suzaku naked in the bath with the other girls, I approve.
Imagine how awkward that marriage interview would be.
Well Tobio's building his harem.
But ValixGenbu is a good one as well.
And Vali's battle mania is too much sometimes.
Love how Mephisto Pheles basically told David "You're very good, but you'll never be like Strada."
Nah, Mephisto didn't praise David. He was talking about how even Kokabiel feared Strada and said he didn't think David would be able to reach that level.
Wonder if we'll get to see Seiryuu, Genbu and Byakko in DxD. I think them being in Tobio's team is possible.
Seiryu and Genbu did make a brief appearance in Volume 24. And it was mentioned in Volume 23 that Kiyotora, Metatron's Jack who's on Dulio's team, is Byakko's uncle.
Yeah they're probably on Tobio's team in the Azazel Cup.
Well I just thought that he said he was a fearsome swordsman. Because of being a human who's able to defeat high-class devils like David did at the end of Slash Dog Volume 1.
So all that hype for Tobio and he doesn't even get to finish Soranaki off.
I was going to joke about how Suzaku is that hot female cousin you are attracted to but you know she's off-limits but Suzaku saying that she's going to marry Tobio and him having a marriage interview with Suou Himejima.(he's the head of Himejima isn't he?) Ishibumi ruined my joke.
