29 # 29: Peace!
# 29: Peace!
____
After Ophis left my house, I got ready for the conference. I have no doubts that there will be an attack.
Looking over I see Asia checking her blade, she actually decided to learn Eastern Swordsmanship.
I had to bring some Youkai to teach her since I don't know any Eastern styles.
Nodding to each other we left the house. I even activated my barriers. Who knows what will happen.
______
Reaching school I see troops of three factions stationed on air, it's quite the sight, seeing them like this.
I just wish Devil troops and Fallen troops had better uniforms. I mean they're The Three Factions and they dress like it's Halloween.
I can excuse Angels since they look like priests mostly but the other two need a serious update for their military uniforms.
Shaking my head in pity I guided Asia to the meeting room, the only reason I am here is to discuss her case with Michael.
The main characters are strong enough to take care of themselves, so my involvement is not needed most of the time.
______
Inside the meeting room, I see that we're the last ones to arrive. Even Azazel came before me...
"Sorry, we run into a lost girl. We had to help her out." Technically the truth.
Seeing the leaders nodding I took my seat with Asia standing behind me.
"Anyway, now that everyone is here. We can start with reports of Kokabiel's attack. My sister Rias Gremory and her friend Sona Sitri will be presenting their reports."
"Of course, I will also have Irina here tell her own version." Michael nods while gesturing to hooded Irina in the background.
After that Rias and Sona gave their reports. I recorded Sona's expressions while Rias was talking about how they mutilated Kokabiel to relieve boredom.
"Withcer... What did you do to my sweet Ria-tan?" Sirzechs wails.
"Well, my training may have caused lots of bottled-up resentment which now they took it out of their enemies." I wonder how many times I am going to explain this.
"So Vali wasn't lying when he said you guys used Kokabiel's feathers for BBQ?" Azazel asks with clear intrigue.
"That actually turned out better than I thought it would."
"Damn I gotta try that stuff once I go back."
"You remember that you are a fallen as well right?"
"Feathers can grow back..."
*Cough*
"Gentlemen, please let's drop such conversations and move on." Michael sternly warns. He doesn't say anything about the brutality though.
Seeing the current status Rias avoided most of the gore in her report and finished with me teleporting Kokabiel to Azazel.
Afterward, Sona gave her report, which was appreciated more since it was 'clean'.
This was followed by Irina who was embarrassed that she got knocked out pretty early and didn't have much to say.
"So today we're here to talk peace, even if God is dead and this world is still spinning even without him, we have to live with...." Seeing that Azazel is doing one of his speeches, I tuned him out until he asked the opinions of the Dragon Emperors.
Vali's answer was expected, he just wants to fight. Conditions don't matter to him.
Issei's answer however was something...
"Issei, if there's a war you can't sleep with Rias Gremory but if there's peace you can work on making children if you know what I mean."
"But I am already sleeping with Rias how should I answer?"
"WHAT!?" And Sirzechs went red... Literally.
Well, so much for Schrodinger's Virginity.
*We're having technical difficulties Please Wait for further updates*
______
After we calmed down Sirzechs meeting continued although we no longer have a table.
Poor thing didn't survive the flip.
"So Withcer do you have anything to add. You were there during the events and as a strong neutral party your addition to the treaty will be important."
"Finally, first let's read this report. This is an interrogation report from Grigori, I want to discuss the rotten fruits in your factions." Seeing the report Azazel shuddered.
It must have reminded him of Raynare.
I had enough copies for everyone, so minus Vali(He refused to read it) everyone read it.
I managed to secure a formal apology for Asia who was looking really shocked to see Michael bowing to her.
Afterward, she apologized for my rudeness, earning amused chuckles for herself.
In the end, she returned to my side with a red face but she did have a smile on her face.
"So everyone agrees to sign the treaty?"
"Wait!" This time it's Rias.
"Yes, Rias. Do you have anything to add?" Seeing her nod we listened to her.
She asked about Kuroka and her situation, from there I learned the youkai faction ripping a new one to Sirzechs and Rias managed to secure a pardon for Kuroka by using the occasion.
Grayfia had to comfort Sirzechs again since he started weeping again because his sweet sister using him as a tool to get what she wants.
"Finally finished with that. Now if everyone told their sad childhood story let's sign this thing and go home."
"Wait!?" This time I interject.
"What is it, Jacob?"
"It wouldn't be a peace treaty without someone attacking it now would it?"
"You indeed have a colorful imagination Withcer but our troops can handle any trouble." Michael interjects but...
*Cue Gasper Balance Breaker*
"Called it!"
_____
"It seems only those with above a certain power level can ignore the time stop." Azazel gives his analysis, then looks at Rias's Peerage, they're all still moving.
"Well, let me handle the time stop, you guys focus on enemies." I tell them before a massive Yrden covers the school canceling out Gasper's power.
Seeing their troops start attacking the magicians the leaders nodded to themselves. None of them questioned my ability to control time though.
"Well, Rias go check on Gasper and Koneko. I can understand why Gasper fell, he's weak but I don't know why Koneko didn't protect him"
"Right, ORC let's rescue our friends and torture some magicians." Rias rallies her servants and blasts the wall before flying out.
Her adorable servants following after her, chanting "Blood!"
"Ria-tan!" Sirzechs is once again on his knees whimpering.
_____
(Five Minutes Ago ORC)
"Koneko-chan is that a catnip pie floating?" Gasper points out the flying pie in front of the window.
"Yes...*Window crash* Nyaaaa!" And Koneko is defeated by catnip.
She will later regret her actions but it was already too late.
______
Back in the meeting room, we're all watching Rias's Peerage taking down magician after magician while Azazel explained the identity of the attackers.
It's Khaos Brigade, the same organization Ophis invited me to. Should've seen that coming.
After a while, a tanned female devil teleported into the barrier but before she could introduce herself she got hit by Akeno's lightning and died on the spot.
She didn't even have a corpse left she turned into ashes.
"Who was that poor soul?" Michael asks.
"Katerea Leviathan, from Old Satan faction... Our enemy." Serafall explains with a complicated expression.
"Poor soul, may she rest in wherever she goes." You know something is sad when an Archangel prays for an Evil Devil.
_____
"So we're signing this or what? I am sacrificing sleep here." Seeing no more cannon fodders are coming I call out to the leaders.
"Right, let's get this over with." With that, the peace treaty was signed.
I fixed the wall Rias blew off while Rias herself was disposing of corpses with a spell she learned from the Dragon Ball rip off anime from this world.
"Hakai!" Seeing Rias disintegrate corpses to nothing with just a touch I nod with satisfaction.
She is yet to be able to do it from a range but she's getting there.
I kinda remember that Vali was supposed to betray Azazel but that didn't happen. I guess he didn't think he'll survive this...
With school fixed and corpses disposed everyone went their way.
I made it home with Asia and slept like a log, not knowing how much of a big mistake it was.
______
(3rd POV)
Unbeknownst to Jacob tonight he lost his chance of getting laid...
Asia threw soft punches to his body until she tired herself but he didn't budge and ultimately she fell asleep with a cute pout.
