Killed my brain machine translating from vol 23 (chinese), here are some spoilers (there may be some errors, but is better than nothing):



Rias negotiations with Strada (Singularity):

-to keep it simple, (Strada is a battle maniac), he says he is not young anymore, if he was in his 50`s it would had been another story, Rias says she can rejuvenate him whit the method of God (sacred gear) not devil, Holy Grail and Balor can temporarily return him to an younger form and he can fight Xenovia, Arthur, Cao and others; Rias takes out a suitcase with 2 swords, one of them is Durandal 2 (many from the church want to see Strada fighting), Strada said if he fights he will cut anyone, even her future husband, and Rias said that her future husband must overcame this, Strada is satisfied with her reply and he joins her team.

The other sword has a red blade, that she receive as an engagement gift (blessing) from the church/heaven side, it is modified so a devil can use it but she says nor her or Ise will use this sword and will be given to their future child (its Galatine, but unknown if its the original or Galatine 2, no info, only describe as a sword with red blade); Durandal 2 may belong to the Gremory group/house, since Rias use it to persuade Strada.



Diehauser and Belial clan (The Return of the King):

-because of the 3 powers war and the old Maou war the house of Belial lost power (poor aristocracy), financial difficulties struggled to survive

-their territory is small

-Diehauser father and grandfather believed they can rise again if the family stays together and take good care of the people and the citizens (strong bonds between the ethnic groups), house of Belial living standards were behind others and they were ridiculed

-Diehauser grew in a house in the mountains

-to pay for his education his father reduce the number of noble clothes, and his mother sold her precious stones

-finding a fiancée was a very hard task

-after winning his first RG, he sent his parents the highest level of noble clothes

-his mother doesn't watch his games, she is against her son fighting in the RG (after being imprisoned she started watching)

-thanks to Diehauser achievements, his father manage to temporarily release him from prison so he can participate in the IRG (not sure about this but I think his first game is against Team Lightning), he is release after Ise vs Dulio, and a few days before Rias vs Vali and Ise vs God Alliance; so its kinda impossible for him to be in the final since he lacks games.

<p class="MsoNormal">- Diehauser is temporarily released with harsh operating restrictions and under surveillance.
