After dealing with the Khaos Brigade's attack, a few more days passed. On this day, Arthas and Akeno went to town together to purchase props for the upcoming school festival.
Rias enthusiastically took it upon herself to write a play, and Arthas was also dragged in to play the male lead.
But thinking about it, this was the first time he and Akeno had gone shopping together like this. Arthas's gaze involuntarily fell on Akeno.
Unlike her usual long ponytail at school, Akeno's hair was down, and she was wearing cute clothes for a young girl.
He was seeing her in boots for the first time, but he had to say that it made Akeno look more upright and her aura even more charming.
Akeno always gave people the impression of a mature older sister. Her behavior and clothing were very dignified.
He had to say that Akeno, wearing a cute high school girl's outfit today, looked more delicate and cute than usual.
Akeno herself seemed to be enjoying this shopping trip very much. The girl always acted like a young girl. In brand-name clothing stores, she would ask like an ordinary girl.
"Hey, Arthas, does this look good on me?" "Or is this one better?", constantly asking which dress was prettier.
Speaking of which, her tone was completely that of a soft, ordinary girl, and all those catchphrases that would make one think of bad things were gone.
Although they were preparing things for the school festival, it seemed to have unknowingly turned into something like a date.
"Ah, it's time to go back now. Otherwise, Rias and the others will probably be looking for me, right?"
After coming out of the aquarium, Akeno said with a smile, looking at the sun that had already risen to its peak.
Although it wasn't a perfect date, they had a lot of fun.
"Then Arthas, let's go back together first." Akeno said, taking Arthas's hand, but she stopped stiffly just as she had taken a few steps.
"I didn't expect to meet you in this place. What a coincidence." A male voice, accompanied by a wry smile, echoed.
"We were finally going to have some fun! Why, why do we have to meet this annoying brat in a place like this! I don't think it's a coincidence at all!"
A noisy voice rang out. Arthas raised an eyebrow. It seemed to be that damn Norse chief god's voice.
Naturally stepping forward and protecting Akeno behind him, Arthas looked at the four people who had appeared before him.
It was the Norse chief god Odin, wearing a hat and dressed casually, and his old acquaintance Azazel beside him.
Behind them were a well-built man and a woman in a suit who looked very serious.
Even with Arthas's discerning eyes, that woman was a rare beauty. Her long silver hair gave off a feeling of looseness and airiness at first glance.
But she looked very familiar. Was she that virgin Valkyrie from that day?
"Didn't this guy go back to Norse? Why is he back again?"
Arthas asked Azazel with some confusion. The latter showed a somewhat helpless smile.
Ah, well, because the Khaos Brigade has been active again recently, Odin came over to discuss countermeasures with us.
As a guide, I'm taking him to experience some of Japan's unique features and scenery.
Azazel said this somewhat reluctantly, and Arthas showed a suspicious look.
Although the explanation was seamless, Arthas felt that things weren't that simple.
"That's not true! Lord Odin, as the chief god of Norse, please pay attention to your words and actions. Going in and out of, going in and out of those places… it's too much!"
The silver-haired beauty in a suit stepped forward, seeming a little shy as she glanced at Arthas, and then seriously lectured Odin.
"What's wrong with that, Rossweisse? You're also a Valkyrie who receives heroes. You need to see more of these scenes and learn more."
"Anyway, I'm just a Valkyrie without charm… an old virgin whose age is equal to the time she hasn't had a boyfriend." For some reason, Rossweisse suddenly became depressed.
Looking to the side, it seemed that Azazel's subordinate was approaching Akeno. As this man got closer, Akeno's body began to tremble.
"Akeno, we finally have a chance to meet. Can we talk properly?"
"Sorry, I don't have the time."
Turning her back with trembling shoulders, Akeno refused the man's request, her face showing a very painful expression.
"Give me a little time. I really want to tell you something."
The man's words seemed a bit bitter, but he wasn't angry. He just pleaded in a lower voice. He reached out his hand to grab Akeno's arm, but it was stopped by Arthas.
"Who are you?"
Looking at Arthas, who had hidden Akeno behind him, the man spoke impolitely. Seeing the other party's appearance, Arthas's eyes also turned cold.
"That's what I should be saying. Who are you, and why are you harassing Akeno?"
"Um… let me introduce you. This is one of my subordinates, Baraqiel. And this is that unscientific soldier kid from the Gremory household."
Azazel stepped forward, nudging Baraqiel with his elbow to signal him to be polite.
Baraqiel was different from Odin. The old man, who had seen Arthas challenge Ophis, was very afraid of him, but Baraqiel didn't think so.
In his opinion, the so-called strongest soldier was just a fabricated title. What could a reincarnated devil be capable of?
Not to mention that his daughter was now hidden behind the other party. How could Baraqiel remain calm?
"Baraqiel?"
Hearing Azazel's introduction, Arthas also raised an eyebrow slightly. He was naturally familiar with the name Baraqiel. Akeno's father, the culprit who made Akeno who she was today.
He had long heard Rias say that Akeno and her father didn't get along. Had they finally met now?
Um… actually, it's like this. Because Odin is going to stay here for a while, I'm temporarily acting as a guide.
And as your Occult Research Club teacher, I naturally can't just leave you alone, so I called Baraqiel over. I've asked him to take good care of and train you during the time I'm away.
Azazel said this very reluctantly, and Arthas rolled his eyes unhappily. He was basically certain that this was definitely Azazel's own idea.
After all, with so many Fallen Angel executives, why would he have Akeno's father come? It seemed to have been planned from the start.
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go back first."
Looking at the two who were confronting each other, it was Akeno who first stated her attitude. Hearing his daughter say this, Baraqiel also nodded.
He only needed his daughter to forgive him, so he naturally wouldn't go against any of her words.
Kuoh Academy, inside the Occult Research Club.
"Hahaha, in short, that's what happened. I'm here in Japan for sightseeing."
Odin, who had come with Azazel, said this with a hearty laugh to Rias and her household.
Actually, Odin wasn't planning to come, but it seemed that Azazel was worried that they would start fighting, so he came along.
"Actually, you're being hated in your hometown as well, right? So you were kicked out?" Arthas casually said from the side, immediately stopping Odin's laughter.
Had he guessed correctly? Looking at Odin's embarrassed face, Arthas curiously stroked his chin as he thought this.
Arthas didn't have any particular feelings about this guy. However, Rias and the other familiars were very respectful towards him. No matter what, he was a chief god.
"Please have some tea."
Rias put on a smile and greeted Odin.
"No need to fuss." Odin answered seriously, a rare occurrence, and he didn't dare to look around, because he knew that the girls here were more or less related to Arthas.
Ah ah ah, I'm so envious… having a harem and all.
"Oh my! It's the first time I've seen Lord Odin so serious! Tell me, is someone impersonating you?!"
The Valkyrie behind Odin forcefully knocked the old man on the head.
The old man touched his head and half-opened his eyes. Clearly, he was used to this situation, but he was still a bit depressed.
"Seriously, I'm the chief god of Norse, you know? Do you think I would do something so rude as to drool while staring at a beautiful girl's chest?" Odin said with a serious look.
"Let me introduce you. This is my follower, the Valkyrie. Her name is…"
"Rossweisse is here. During my time in Japan, please take care of me. From now on, we're friends."
Rossweisse said somewhat awkwardly, continuing to secretly observe Arthas's expression.
The Valkyrie's small actions naturally couldn't escape Arthas's eyes. He had been wondering why she kept looking at him ever since they were outside.
Odin introduced the Valkyrie, and Rossweisse also greeted them. Rias had naturally met her before, but the others were meeting her for the first time.
She gave off the impression of a young, rash girl, but she was very calm, capable, and had a lot of potential.
Although it was strangely thought that her clothes were cheap and bought from a street stall.
Seeming to be retaliating for being knocked on the head for no reason, Odin gave some lewd information, making Rossweisse show a very embarrassed expression.
"That's not true! I, I'm just because no boys have liked me until now! Waaaah!"
Ah… she collapsed on the spot, and started banging her head on the floor non-stop, looking like she had been broken.
Well, the Valkyrie industry is also very harsh. After all, even among those with outstanding looks, there are many who haven't found their spring.
Recently, the number of heroes and braves has decreased a lot, and due to budget cuts, the deployment of Valkyries is also trending towards downsizing.
This one was also just a member who could only stay shrinking in the workplace before becoming my follower.
Odin nodded while saying this. Although they couldn't understand what he was saying, it felt very impressive.
At this time, Azazel spoke up.
During the time the old man is in Japan, we will be his guards. Baraqiel is a key member sent by the Fallen Angels.
I'm quite busy these days, so I can only stay here for a limited time. During these days, Baraqiel will take my place to look after you.
"Please take care of me."
Mr. Baraqiel, who didn't talk much, said politely.
"Old man, didn't you come to Japan a bit early? According to what I heard, the schedule should have been a bit later.
The main purpose of this trip to Japan isn't to have a meeting with the Japanese gods? With Michael and Sirzechs as intermediaries, I will also attend the meeting - that's how it should be.
Azazel took a sip of tea, then asked,
Something like that. Because there's some trouble in our country… rather than trouble, it's more like my methods have been criticized.
I thought it would be best to act sooner rather than later before anything bad happens. There are some things I want to say to the Japanese gods in advance.
After all, until now, we've been closed off and haven't been able to communicate much.
The old man stroked his long white beard and sighed.
"Since you said you came here to have fun, don't think about unhappy things, old man. Is there any place you want to go?"
Azazel asked the old man, who then put on a lewd expression and wiggled his fingers in a creepy way.
"I want to go to a club!"
"Haha, your focus is truly unique, you chief god! Alright, let's go! The young girls on my side have opened a VIP club in this town. Let's go there to entertain you."
"Ohohohohoho! As expected of you, Brother Azazel! You really know your stuff!"
"Follow me, you perverted old man! Let's go, to the Land of Wa! Have you ever played the Evil Magistrate game? If you come, you have to try that! Let me teach you the heart of Yamato!"
"I can't take it anymore! I can't take it anymore!"
The two idiots quickly left the room, leaving Arthas and Rias staring at them with black lines on their faces.
Was it okay for that perverted Governor-General and old man to be in charge?! Ah, Rias held her forehead, her brows furrowed.
"Lord Odin, I, I want to go too!"
Ms. Rossweisse chased after them.
"You just stay here. If Azazel is there, there won't be any problems. You can just wait at home."
"No! I have to go!"
"If you come, I'll fire you. I've been looking for an opportunity to do that. If I could fire you, I could find someone more obedient."
Hearing her chief god's words, the Valkyrie immediately collapsed on the ground, her face full of indignation and helplessness.
Shaking her head and sighing speechlessly, everyone present didn't know what to say.
