She does like Ise's blood in Volume 23 she drinks some of his blood saying it tastes delicious and it makes her lose her mind. We don't really know why she fell for him some think we may find out in Worldly Desire of Steel.

[DragonOsman]

Yeah, it's probably something happened in Worldly Desire of Steel. It makes me really want to read it.

If drinking his blood makes her lose her mind, doesn't that mean he can use that on her as part of some weird blood play (in sex)?

[CCPDarkraiRules]

Worldly Desire of Steel is one of the short stories I am looking forward to read for this volume along with Cross X Crisis and Graduation Trip & Vortex Bunch.

[Lucidrago]

I'm waiting for the 'Let's Go With Training' short story. The one where Issei accompanies Riser for his bishop audition.

[CCPDarkraiRules]

Yeah the Let's Go With Training short story in this volume is the mascot one where Sairaorg and Zeoticus Gremory (Rias' father) are dressed up in mascot costumes and its the one where we find out about Rias' fear of camels.

[Joeemm]

@ CCP and Lucidrago...lol...just say you're eager to read the rest of the short stories in DX 3 as that basically forms the rest of the untranslated bit we're waiting on.

[Lucidrago]

I'm just interested in the Riser's bishop audition. Not saying I'm interested in the other short stories. But they pale in comparison to the 3rd SS in DX3.

With the two perverts performing the audition, I wonder what the criteria to be chosen would be?

1. Abundance of oppai?
2. Cuteness?
3. Nice body?
4. All of the above?

Lol, I'm wondering if strength would be overlooked.

[DragonOsman]

It's a Yuki-Onna. Strength is guaranteed. Riser does ask the girl's parents to try to stop her growth, which gets brutally rejected (young Yuki-Onna are beautiful girls an they become gorilla when they grow up; that's how it is in DxD). She'll become a gorilla.

[CCPDarkraiRules]

@Lucidrago Riser's Bishop audition is not the 3rd SS in DX3 that one is called Phoenix' Resurrection? the 3rd one for DX3 is Let's Go with Training! ~Mascot Chapter~.

[Lucidrago]

And I am pretty sure that's the one with Riser's bishop audition. There's an illustration(you can find it on the DxD Wikia) that has Riser and Issei in the illustration with Sairaorg in his 'Bapple' costume in the illustration as well. The Phoenix Resurrection SS was in Volume 13 and that was about Riser recovering from his depression.

[CCPDarkraiRules]

That illustration with Riser and Ise in with Sairaorg as Bapple in the background why isn't on the DX3 page on the wikia?

The Volume 13 SS you are thinking of is called "The Unresurrection Phoenix" and the SS about Riser's Bishop audition is actually called "Phoenix' Resurrection?" the question mark is part of the title and not me being confused over the title's name.

“My daughter— Rias is, quite stubborn. That’s because since when she was young, I’ve been spoiling her. Even Sirzech is truly treasuring her since he’s more than 100 years her senior… I’m still sorry and apologetic for leaving the scolding Rias to Venelana.”

How old do you think Sirzechs is? More than 100 could even be a thousand. Just thinking.

[DragonOsman]

Yeah, more than 100 could also be 1000. We don't have enough information to tell his actual age. We do know that Rias a year older than Ise, though, and that according to that quote, the age gap between her and Sirzechs is more than 100 years.

[Tbolt]

It would not be more than 199 years no where near a thousand. The he’s more than 100 years tells you the time span. Its more than 100 if it was more you would get 200, 300 etc.

[DragonOsman]

More specifically, it's trying to tell us how much older he is compared to Rias, right? Rias is one year older than Ise, and Sirzechs is more than 100 years older than that. Depending on how much older it is exactly, Sirzechs could be 130 or something like that.

[Joeemm]

I wasn't trying to get Ise's or Rias's age. They're both given. I'm not sure exactly at what time that short story was written but I'm guessing Ise was in his second year already. So if Rias is 18 at that time and Sirzech is at least 100 years her senior, I'm saying he could be anywhere from 119-200 years old at that time. Of course, that's taking into consideration that he used 100+ strictly in terms of usage meaning anywhere between 100-200 and not loosely where it could be any number surpassing 100. That's why I asked what do you guys think. Could it be loosely interpreted or does that provide a sufficient guesstimate to clue us in as to Sirzech's age?

[DragonOsman]

I think you're right. Sirzechs should've been around 118-119 to 218-219 years old at the time.

[Bennia Lover]

Zeoticus is hundreds of years old, as his Bishop, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, lived and died during the early 1500's.

So Ajuka has to have been alive as an adult or young adult since this time for Heinrich to have become Zeoticus' Bishop and that means Sirzechs was alive since this time making them over 500 years old.

[DragonOsman]

So the "100 years Rias's senior" bit was really just a minimum. So would his actual age be less than 600, then?
