218 Vidar & Apollon

"Vidar, have you seen the new tournament combinations?"

"Oh, Apollon? Of course I've seen them."

"After all, all of the gods who control fate among the mythologies have been secretly manipulating the tournament."

"Well, it's understandable that you have such ideas…but I don't think the God of Destruction is the type to do such inconsiderate things. However, it isn't harmful. As gods, it isn't a bad thing for us to occasionally dance with fate."

"Well, from your perspective as the [Fenrir Eater], what are your thoughts on this combintation?"

"Don't call me by that name. I've never had any interest in eating wolves. …But, I did believe that I would one day encounter him because of politics or other matters. So it's not a bad thing to have an early battle against him. I feel a bit bad for stepbrother[1], but this is fate."

"Well, we should get in touch with Typhon then. It would be best to hold a strategy meeting earlier."

"It's truly something to look forward to. As comrades who have been forced to take up the next generation, this should let us make a bit of a rumble, right? —Hey, [High School DxD][2]. I'll be treating you the same as a god-class enemy."
